3D Modeling and Animation: Synthesis and Analysis Techniques for the Human Body

At first look the first impression about the book is the cover :JUST PLAIN. And this cover show a real preview about the book :PLAIN!. When you talk about MODELING then aestheticism is a important matter but this book talk about MATHS. Just theory, nothing practice. You had 3dstudio, Maya, Lightwave or the cheap blender and want to start modeling?, then this book is not for you. In my time in the university, all books are about equations, differentials and such, later i discovered that the real world is all but maths, usually you don't see a third degreed differential at work and when you saw one, then you can use a program to calculate it. It's the same about this book, you don't need the rotation matrix expressed in a equation, the program (even the old ones or the free ones) made all the job for you. Modeling?... no way. Animation?... just a few theory and not really focused in pro or semi-pro programs. Human Body?.. too much about the face and some about the hand but feets and torso and the rest?.
