Negative Positive
Title: Poorly written and edited
Review: I bought this book hoping to learn more about the specifics of making 3D textures. Instead, I was confused and misled. There are glaring errors in this book that, if you didn't know any better, would lead you astray. Take the chapter one tutorial on layers--the file that comes on the cd-rom is the wrong one. There is a replacement on Coriolis' web site, but this too does not match with the book at all. Sort of misses the point--and now I can't return the book! The author writes in a train-of-thought style that is difficult to follow, and his examples are often poorly documented in b&w, when color would have been a better choice (despite what Coriolis says, this book is *not* entirely in full color). There is probably alot of useful info in this book, but because I had to wade through so much poor writing/editing, it was hard to extract. I learned a few unique tips, but not $40+ worth.
Is the review positive or negative?
