1.0 out of 5 stars You're better off making origami cranes from the pages. April 27 2004
By "somnium19"
I took a beginners Cinema 4d class and unfortunately this book was required. Thank God I didn't pay full price! First of all, reading comprehension is downright atrocious. When you're finished wading through this muck of a book, you'll find you know a lot about WHAT things do, but very little about HOW TO use them. If you haven't bought this yet, turn away quickly and save yourself! You'll learn more on your own by playing with the software, online tutorials or a completely different book (and author?). If you're already stuck with it like me, make about 500 or so origami cranes and you're halfway to being lucky enough to winning your money back in the lottery!

1.0 out of 5 stars 3d is complex enough as it is... Mar 28 2004
By "bad_book"
I am currently taking a 3d class for cinema 4d, with a focus on character animation. This book has some tutorials on using bones and weighting along with some IK and expressions to set up the rig for animaiton. The "step by step" instructions that are given leave out important details, are incomplete, and disorganised. Too bad this is the only other reference besides the manual on cinema 4d. Too muddy for a beginner, because if you follow the directions he gives in the book, you end up with more problems than before. Don't trust all of the images either, because they are sometimes not the one the caption is refering to!

1.0 out of 5 stars confusing Oct 11 2003
By A Customer
As a beginner in C4D I found this expensive book difficult to follow w/ poorly printed images (screen shots). I get better results from few online tutorials. I wonder if experienced C4D users will be able to learn anything new from this confusing book.
