Title: Don't wasit your time on this one
Review: I have never purchased a book that has so many errors in it! Most of the script in the book and the CD will not execute. Plus the printed script does not match the script in the CD. The CD has VERY little info--to be exact, 18.9 Meg. Does the author not know that the current blank CD now can hold up to 700 Meg? For an example if you were trying to create the "grass" project. My advice to you is: Go and buy other MEL books because you'll need it to decipher the project/s. Try the animation chapter. It has 14 pages of script that is NOT included on the CD. I would get more specific but that would require me to write a book. I can't believe the people at CHARLES RIVER MEDIA puts out this crap! This book is worth no more than $... Try reading MEL Script for Maya Animators by Mark Wilkins and Chris Kazmier. It's a much better book except for chapter 18. They even have a web site for errata. And the author will acknowledge your emails.
