Great for Closet Animators
By way of illustrations and in-depth explanations, this book took me through the process of creating animated characters from hand-drawn sketches -- all the way to adding interactivity to them. The book says "without code" which doesn't exactly mean without programming. One criticism I have is that I needed to go to the companion website to understand the navigation of some of the demos. (Answers were all found there -- just an illustration of page limitations vs. the web.) Definitely worthwhile to get for the amount of information included.

Interactive 3D
Just a quick note to report that this book is very promising, as we discover new techniques (specially the use of Virtools Dev) that revolutionize the creation of interactivity within 3D contents, for the internet and offline. Definitely worth for all newbees and students who want to have a first introduction to realtime 3D. The only drawback is that the graphical quality of the examples is very poor compared to what can be achieved with the tools. However, the most important is the way the interactivity is developed, which is absolutely stunning. Read it!
