Title: An Advanced Book
Review: This book requires that you can already work with FormZ and seems to be intended for people who are using FormZ to create models to be animated with 3DS or Electric Image. FormZ was at version 3 when this book was written (1999). The approach seems to be that of a person who makes a living building models destined for an animation production environment.The book starts with a heady discussion called "Digital Production Pipeline and 3D Modeling Process" and continues in the vein of managing workflow for several chapters.It then progresses to chapters containing "Exercises" which are follow along tutorial-style and include such things as engine exhaust nozzles, auto wheels and tires, auto interiors, and a human hand. The exercises show lots of techniques for using FormZ to its fullest, particularly when modeling surface meshes.
