There are some good books on the subject, not as easy as watching viddies, but free to read at your local book store!

Just look for advanced nodeling {sic} and animation in the graphics section!

Check out your local Library. you can then borrow some books for free. then if you can see if the books any good before actually buying it.

As for training DVD's... I heard 3dbuzz released some DVD's witha special edition of UT2004. They're all about UT modding, but part of the modding process is animating, and modelling. I saw one of the modelling ones last year, was really damn good.

Those DVD's cover MAX and Maya, but everything they do, you can pull off in your program of choise.


Added bonus, you get UT2004, haha.

Hey great, I checked those out and they seem like a great bargin. what is the UT2004? I only saw the 'the best of buzz: vol 1 and 2 DVD' in the video section. are those the ones you are speaking of??

no, its not in the 3dbuzz sections, hehe.

UT2004 = Unreal Tournament 2004

you can find the list somewhere on
www.masteringunreal.com

but I *think* they might have all sold out. can still buy off amazon. Shite, if I had me a credit card I'd have gotten it by now, hehe.

But these are all about game modding, and dont focus specifically on teaching you MAX, more teaching you... well.. game modding.
