$150 for the lot, I walked away paying $40.
Teachers discount ftw.
Anyway, good selection?
The 3ds bible is like 1300 pages, comes with a dvd. |

I also suggest Windows Programming 5th Edition by Petzold for win32 api in C
and get a directx book to learn how to apply the AutoDesk 3ds Max 9 modeling
Good grab btw _________________

Maya is more known for its procedural shaders. It used to be an entirely different company's product competing 3D modeling software. _________________

Hmm well the best shaders I find are 3rd party anyway.
Besides, 3ds Max has like the best universal model support.
I can import my models into flash CS4. |

I beg to differ, Maya is extremely hard to learn though. _________________

When i said C i meant C++, i just say C. and you have a C++ book there.
Besides, the 3ds book won't teach you nearly as much about directx and how to USE directx as a book dedicated to it would. _________________
