Title: Fairly Useful but dense
Review: This book is quite dense, for absolute beginners it may be overwhelming. If it weren't a required text for one of my classes I'm not sure if I would've chosen it. To be honest, we are doing different projects than are in the book, so this is more as a reference tool than anything. You'll want to at least be familiar with the menus and some functions before delving into this book. However if you've used Maya or Max before and want to learn more and polish your modeling techniques, this is a good one to start with.Some pictures are used to show examples (end results) but screenshots of the progress and exactly what menus are being accessed and where they're located would've been very helpful rather than listing out the instructions and showing end results.However it does provide a lot of information and who better to learn from than the source, Alias.
