Reviews for Simon's books
"The BEST book out there for beginning 3D artists. Period." - rudy66
"A lush, beautiful introduction to the world of 3D" - Bruse Heart
"...everything you'd expect if you were looking for the ideal textbook for a 3D class" - John A Selvia
From Library Journal: "Rather than focus on one piece of 3-D creation software, Danaher briefly describes major packages and their strengths. He then devotes the bulk of the book to outlining 3-D concepts, creation, and terminology, concluding with a discussion of 3-D on the web and a showcase of real-world usage. This clear overview provides aspiring 3-D artists with a solid foundation that can then inform work with specific design software. An essential (and affordable) reference for public and academic libraries."
