Mastering pixels : 3D a comprehensive guide (paper)

This book is devoted to Pixels:3D, the powerful Mac-only graphics application used by animators, game designers, multimedia programmers, Web developers, and graphic artists. Focusing on the latest release (4.0), the author guides readers through the Pixels:3D interface, details all of the product's features, and finally presents a series of tutorials that teach the techniques users need to master to succeed with their own projects. The examples presented in the book and on the CD-ROM are tied explicitly to these lessons, allowing readers to compare and improve their own results.
