does anyone know of any good 3dS MAX 5?
Please note that im a beginner in da world of 3d

i found 2 books:

which one would be better for beginners - Dummies, i think it might be too easy..lol

any other recommendations would be helpful

The best place to find book reviews is to search Amazon.com. They have tons of reader reviews that will keep you busy for hours.

It comes with a 500+ page manual, including tutorials and a getting started section ... didnt that help?

Actually, im a beginner to but those didnt help :-/ u need a book to start of in my opinoin. I looked at some of he books that pentium posted, but im not sure of the content.

Get a book for Max4 rather than Max5. As a beginner it wont matter, the fundamentals are the same.

The Inside 3d Studio Max books are quite good, and will probably be fairly cheap now that max5 is out.

i found them quite [\i] helpful
