Technical where it needs to be but also full of real world examples and illustrative images. The author does a wonderful job of explaining alternatives available in current modeling, animation, and rendering ...             ASP.NET AJAX in Action21 reviews Alessandro Gallo, David Barkol, ... Manning Publications, 2007 MUST GET - If you want to get under the covers Ok for me its a must have book. Why because I want to know all about what the micrsoft javascipt injection is actually doing, how I debug applications with it, how I make it leaner (versa using CSSQuery,JQuery and MooTools), how I wire up events and become articulate with this tecnology.

Translating poetry is a tricky thing. Some people maintain that it can't be done. I would say that the translator can set himself three possible goals. First, he can try to create a "trot," a plain, "literal" translation where every word of the original is explained. See Nabokov's "Eugene Onegin" for an example of this. Second, he can try "simply" to translate it, to give his reader a good ...             Essential LightWave v9: The Fastest and Easiest Way to Master LightWave 3D11 reviews Steve Warner, Kevin Phillips, ... Wordware Publishing, Inc., 2007 Great stuff The best general Lightwave v9 book around. Masterfully written, great tutorials and clear explanations. I agree that the pictures should have been color, but I don't think the book publisher has been able to make that a profitable venture, especially with the limited appeal of a book like this. Unfortunate, but they don't have the budget of Visual Quickstart and the like. I am glad they ...             Interior Design Visual Presentation: A Guide to Graphics, Models & Presentation Techniques1 review Maureen Mitton Wiley, 2007 Interior Design Visual Presenations, A Guide to Graphics, Models and Presentation Techniques Awesome book.

McGarry, Greg Madsen Wiley, 1992 Wonderful rendering tips! This book was very helpful in showing me different rendering techniques used by varying artists. From minimalist, neutral shading to full blown, vibrant color renderings, this book covered them all.

This is the first mental ray book I've found that clearly explains the options available in mental ray and how to tune those options. My only suggestion is that the author should put a concise list of real world materials and their corresponding lighting model(e.g. refractions that go through severel different materials(glass and water) with different IOR - dielectric shading model). I know these ...             The Natural Way to Paint: Rendering the Figure in Watercolor Simply and Beautifully15 reviews Charles Reid Watson-Guptill, 2000 Simply the best instruction book on watercolor If you like Mr. Reid work, then you'll love this one.

But he doesn't just spoon feed you the recipe for each material rendering, he presents ...             Rendering in Pen and Ink: The Classic Book on Pen and Ink Techniques for Artists, Illustrators, Architects, ...20 reviews Arthur Guptill, Susan Meyer Watson-Guptill, 1997 Just had to add my own 5-star... This book is all that the other reviewers say it is. The text is clear and informative, if dated... but the illustrations! The illustrations are worth the price of the book.
