Any good books modeling??

[Zeeman]

Hey i am fairly new at 3D Max 6, i have worked through the Joan of ark tutorial which was really good. i'd like a book on Character animation and modeling but have no clue what to get, any suggestions??

well, zeeman, let me give u some advice. DON't get any books unless u really think that it is going to help you. I got 3 books and 3ds max 5 (i upgraded to 3ds max 6 since) but they never really tought me any thing i didnt already kno or wasnt what i was looking for. If u need some tutorials on character modeling and animation just get them from online. It's alot easier, cheaper, and better. Here are some great links with tutorials!

http://www.3dtotal.com

http://www.3dcafe.com

http://www.3dbuzz.com

http://www.poopinmymouth.com

(this one has some video tutorials and regular ones-all for free)

these are the "main" sites that have really good tutorials. u can find other sites just typ in wut your looking for in google or some other search engen u like. But if u really think that a book is what your look for, go on to Amazon.com and typ in 3d modeling (or something similer) under the books catagory.
