No matter how you choose to read this book, it is crucial that you approach the lessons
as a way to begin the learning process. This book aims to give you a solid foundation in
many aspects of 3ds Max, so that you can take this beginning and move on to more study.
In keeping with that ideal, you will need to understand that you will not necessarily become
proficient in any one aspect of 3ds Max just by reading this book. Instead, you??™ll gain an
understanding of how it works and how you can work with the program to create animations
and models.
Frequently, students are annoyed by tutorials that don??™t seem to lead them to perfection
in the first go-around. This is the case for all tutorials, and indeed for all books that
purport to teach anything. The key is to use the lessons as a guideline not just once, but
repeatedly. Doing a lesson multiple times will help you understand the concepts better
and give you opportunities to try out a few different methods, stray a little from the dictated
steps, and try your own ideas on for size. Ideally, you will obtain a stronger education
this way, but doing so will perhaps be slower and require you to be more patient.
However, getting a good education always requires this sort of dedication.
