Summary: TrueSpace 2 Bible gets beginners up to speed fast.
Review: The Caligari TrueSpace 2 Bible is an excellent and VERY thourough 3D animation information source. It's scope truly does compare to the bible, as its name implies, because it covers not only the essentials of mastering the TrueSpace 2 program, but a comprehensive introduction of how to use this tool to create art. Included is the psychology behind character developement and many in depth tips describing techniques that Hollywood cinematographers use, such as camera angles and pans, to engage your audience. The only thing I did not like about this book was the fact that the CD, which includes a 30 day trial demo of the program did not work due to its having been made in 1995 and I suppose only good for thirty days after its creation. Changing your system clock won't help. The guys that wrote publish the book will send you another for free or you can download the same demo from Caligari's site. This is actually a good idea since you can download the newer demo version, TrueSpace 3, and many others as well.

Summary: More than just TrueSpace2
Review: This book goes way beyond TrueSpace2. If you have any interest in doing 3D for a living, this book will tell you how to get started, if you just want to learn TrueSpace, you'll learn a ton from this book. If you need to find resources to help you, this book will tell you where to look. I can't recommend this book any higher. Definitely worth the money
