I have that book, excellent. I was also privileged enough to attend one of his seminars :buttrock:

I was looking for a book that covered more areas of CG, particles and effects really...

[drunkirishmic]

for particles, nag BrandonD to write somethin. the man is a genius when it comes to particles. i havent found any books on fx and stuff that r worth dropping 60 bones on. ur best bet would be tuts and trial and error and cgtalk

Great, cheers for that!

My favorite crutch to this day remains "Tony White's, the Animator's Workbook". There used to be a version of it online I thought... anyway, that cat rilly breaks down theory into simple junks that even I can sorta grok. There's a bit in there that's 2d specific, but practically everything else factors up to 3d pretty well. On amazon there's a list of other books that folks bought when picking up TAW.

...he's got website up too. www.tonywhite.net

peace d=^)

*EDIT: Doh! didn't read your question as clearly as I had thought. (I wonder how many times that's happened?). Nevermind :blush: END EDIT*

If you're interested in animating particles and such stuff you should buy some of the Gnomon DVDs or tapes.
