- Wish I'd included the physics chapter!
- I must say that writing a Dummies book was both a blessing and a curse in many ways. It sure wasn't easy trying to describe the complexities of 3D in a way that the bare-bones novice could grasp... but luckily IDG lays down a very good approach for the authors.
The biggest problem with writing the book was its length. I was told to keep… More reviews
- not bad
- I think truespace 3 for dummies is not a really bad book. Everything is really easy to understand and I am sure that if you are a first timer you wil understand everything. sometimes the humour is a little bit irritating but that's a personal comment.

- Nothing more than a dressed up manual
- The book is only for those of you who have picked up Truespace3 as a toy, it's merely a manual that is lacking much of any useful content. For those who pirated the program, it's a manual, for anyone else, it's a paperweight. Our only hope is that Peter Plantec, Frank Rivera, or someone with a great skill of writing AND Truespace3 will write… More reviews
