Flash 3D Cheats Most Wanted
Description
"Flash 3D Cheats Most Wanted" is the latest title in the Most Wanted series of Friends of ED. The Most Wanted series dictates that each of the chapters is completely standalone, delivering as many finished examples as possible - the chapters are themed by tools and theory, but the content is driven by aesthetics, i.e. "how cool is the effect?" Each chapter is packed full of the most wanted tips, tricks, and techniques to demonstrate exactly how to achieve stunning, professional 3D art for the Web. Because of the very nature of the subject, there is a gradual increase of complexity per chapter. This is not, however, a tutorial book from start to finish - it's an inspiring sample of all the very best techniques that professional Web 3D designers are using today. "Flash 3D Cheats Most Wanted" will appeal to any professional or aspiring 3D artists, web designers, and online games developers.
