to cover all aspects of the program. The first part of the book
takes you on a tour of the basic interface commands like, scale,

well as resolved and skinned surpolygons and four-sided patch
surpolygons. The book also teaches you about polygons, NURBS,
Boolean and Meta-Clay modeling. While
not always complete the book is still a valuble tool for learning
