Title: Shamms is universally despised with good reason!
Review: If you have even the slightest experience with computer graphics you will find this book (like all the R. Shamms Mortimer books) to be useless! Not only does he appear to have no real skill with the product his examples consist of page after page of mindless repetition. Ex: here's how to make a man with a fish head, and now here's how to make a man with a dog head, and now here's how to make a man with a horse head, etc, ad nauseam. Instead of giving master advice on how to make the most of this tool (as part of a greater software toolkit) Shamms simply plugs pieces together mindlessly and passes them off as lessons. There are maybe ten useful pages in the book and ALL of them are almost directly from the Poser manual. Avoid this book at all costs.
