If you're teaching 3D Studio VIZ 3 as an alternative choice to 3ds max, use this workflow-focused, project-based, best-practices approach. Hands-on tutorials interspersed with referential material appear in each chapter. The primary focus of this book is to show students how to minimize the amount of “shifting” they have to do to use VIZ as well as how to get the most out of VIZ by understanding its features. The book accomplishes two main goals: Understanding VIZ's workflow and understanding VIZ's features. The CD-ROM includes all the files that are needed to complete the exercises in each chapter.

For courses in Photoshop.

The author's learning methodology is set up to give hands-on experience with Photoshop's features, using either the imagery created in the book, or your own. Gary grounds you in the most practical and useful aspects of Photoshop—the real-world uses of this powerful program—before delving into the more complex, arcane, or esoteric uses of the program. Each chapter includes a balance of textual discussion, hands-on exercises, and review material, all written in Gary's highly praised style: compelling to more advanced users while never patronizing to the less experienced. The CD-ROM includes all exercise files used in the book so that you can follow the author exactly, duplicating everything discussed and shown in the book. The CD will also include numerous texture maps and custom photo art for use at your discretion; as well as filters and utilities; along with a digital computer graphics glossary compiled by the author and laid out in Adobe Acrobat PDF format.
