Résumé

Now based on Version 3, this practical handbook introduces readers to basic formZ concepts. Readers progress quickly to hands-on tutorials that will instruct them in modeling, drafting, and animation using their formZ software. Coverage of formZ's high-powered rendering feature, RenderZone, as well as Radiosity, is also included.
