Description:
Today's graphic artists are often called upon to produce, 3D effects, perhaps for a Web page, a children's book illustration or an animated corporate logo. Getting Started with 3D shows them how to extend their current design skills one step further into the fascinating realm of desktop 3D. For artists working in either Mac or Windows, the book shows how to start with a shape from almost anywhere -- font outline, a scanned image, a sketched drawing, or 3D clip art -- and turn it into a stunningly dimensional image.
