Michele has managed to capture many of the 3D industrys leading techniques and processes as well as a lot of advanced content that a lot of the pros all use. Not only that but in a very straight forward and easy to follow process that should be every beginners handbook and a very useful resource for even the most advanced users! Thumbs up!'
