The book's DVD

Computer-book CD-ROMs are sometimes just an afterthought that include a handful of examples and product demos. This book's DVD, however, includes a diverse selection of 3D models that you can use in your projects if you choose. Many of these models are used in the tutorials. The DVD also includes the Max files for every tutorial.

If you haven't noticed yet, most of this book is printed in black and white. This can make seeing the details (and colors) of the figures difficult. The DVD includes a complete searchable version of the book along with all the figures in color.

Color insert pages

The possibilities of Max are endless, but many individuals and groups have pushed the software a long way. As a sampling of the finished work that can be created, I've included a set of color insert pages that showcase some amazing work done with Max. The 3D artists represented in these pages give you some idea of what is possible.
