Attached Link: Carrara 5 Pro handbook by Mike de la Flore

Thanks Paul.... I'm very anxious to try Carrara but not able to find any tutorials aimed at the newbie....

Since I'm having no luck finding any tutorials on how to assign materials (for newbies) and textures on the web for Carrara 5 Pro...

I've been considering purchasing this book...

Carrara 5 Pro Handbook by Mike de la Flor

Can anyone recommend this book? Is it aimed at Carrara dummies like me or for a more advanced crowd....

For most apps I use (Vue, Wings3D, Hexagon, Painter, Paint Shop Pro, Cinema4D) I'm usually able to find tutorials via Google...However it seems like a real chore to find anything for newbies when it comes to Carrara...

Cheers
