3D Studio Max Book for Beginner/Intermediate

cayenne · 2006-01-31 19:11:24

I am currently learning how to use 3D Studio Max in college and am wondering what is the best book to help me along the way. I have a good understanding of the layout and functions etc but just need a bit of help/examples on camera work, lighting etc. Don't intend doing too much high end stuff.
