Deconstructing the Elements with 3ds max 6 at Siggraph
Hey all!
A few people have asked me if the book is going to be available at Sig, and I've had definite confirmation from the publisher that it is... and then some...: for each 3ds max demo session (of which there are a fair amount!) at the Discreet booth, they will be raffling off a copy of the book to the attendees! It will also be available from the Focal Press / Elsevier booth before it hits the outlets in the U.S. Current pre-orders are now being fulfilled, so if you pre-ordered the book a while back yours is going to be one of the first ones sent out before they hit the shops (however if you can't wait that long you could always get it from sig and then cancel the order  )General gump on the contents (ripped from the release over at maxunderground.com !) ...
