Animation Tips and Tricks for Windows and Macintosh

This is a follow-up to "Animation and 3D Modeling on the Mac" by the same authors. The previous book introduced novice animators to the basic principles of creating 3D objects. The new book takes the next step, leading the user to more advanced animation techniques and expanding its coverage to include Windows programs. A CD-ROM contains software demos and sample files.

"How'd they do that?" Go behind the scenes to see how professional animators create special effects on desktop computers. This book covers everything from blowing things up and creating fog effects, to web animations, adding sound tracks, and lighting effects. Includes a gallery of professional work with hints for setting up your own studio on Windows or Macintosh. The CD-ROM supplies textures, sounds, and 3D models in the book.
