- World opening, well done, helpful advice from a real expert.
- I was happily surprised when I read trueSpace3 for Dummies. I have paid a great deal more for a lot less useful advice. The writing is clear and the humor is fun rather than heavy. A great help to those who are new to the world of 3D modeling and animation as well as for those of us who have been here awhile.

- Clearly written... A great series as well...
- For fairness I should say I have only skimmed this texts contents. But what I have seen was well written and easy to understand. I am familiar with the "For Dummies" series and being a TS user I was happy to find a text in the series that deal with this product. I own the book and from what I have read has greatly helped me understand the newer features of the 3rd version of Caligaris TrueSpace. I dont envy the person who takes on the task of composing a text that explains the functions of a version of an excellent 3D graphics program with all of its unique concepts and vocabulary. But I do applaud the person who can explain these concepts and words in such an informative and at times humorous way. Nice work...

- This book is good for the very beginners.
- After reading the book i was a little disapointed because it was to basic for the level of knowledge i had in 3D. I gess i should have expected that, after all it was for Dummies. My biggest disapointment was that i could not find anything on the new physic fontion and that was exactly why i was buying the book. I would recommand that book for people just starting in TrueSpace and in 3D, it's a good book for beginners.

- Good Humor and a little more in depth with the basics
- I ordered one for my nephew and decided to get one for myself. I'm still very, very "touch 'n go" with trueSpace3 and found it quite helpful. Swan seems pretty intuitive in the directions he takes and how he handles the subject matter. It sure covers a lot of things over looked the packaged manual. Hey, it's no trueSpace3 bible, but I'm glad I got it and it has really been a help in covering some obscure issues. Good job!

- Excellent introduction to Truespace3
- I have read Truespace3 for dummies. Before opening the book I was exactly that, a dummy, I hadn't done any 3d modeling at all. I found this book to be a marvelous introduction to truespace3. I was impressed with the step by step directions the book had. Each tool in truespace was explained just enough to allow the reader to experiment successfully, and not get lost in intricate detail. I had previously bought the Truespace2 bible, and was greatly disappointed. The bible explained every little nuance in truespace, but had extremely poor explanations and rarely gave examples on how you would use some of the tools. Disapointed and on the verge of giving 3d modeling up, I decided to buy truespace3 for dummies. It was worth it because the book helped me regain my interest in 3d modeling. The book was one of the rare computer books that I could read from the beginning to the end. The author of the Truespace3 for dummies brings this about by adding humor, keeping the reader attentive and interested. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who is a beginner to 3d modeling, it is the best truepsace introduction out there.
