Crystal clear, a little too detailed, but clear...
This is the book i was looking for. It could be a little too detailed, but that has never been a problem. In short: The best book on C4D r10 available.
Good for a Beginner
I recommend this book especially for a beginner. The way it was written is really kind to a beginner and the book tries to cover most but some serious animators may be disappointed for some important animation techniques are missing. I have purchased some books I had to spend hours and hours to figure out the directions to complete the tutorials, but the tutorials from this book are easy to follow and user-friendly. This is a good book!
No help with Mograph whatsoever.
I bought this book because I am coming from Maya and want to learn C4D's Mograph features- the biggest reason I was interested in Cinema 4D. This book doesn't even MENTION the Mograph features let alone help, which is a huge disappointment. In addition, I've turned to this book 8 times so far for help with specific tools and 6 of those times I couldn't find the tool listed in the index.
I gave this 2 stars because what portions of the software the book does cover seems helpful so far.
Excellent C4D R10 book
Very well explained. Good examples and example files to illustrate concepts. Very highly recommended.
Helpful
Although this book doesn't go terribly deep into cinema 4d or it's interface, it's a helpful resource nonetheless.
