I am looking for books on how to create anything 3d, be that characters, buildings, scenery, etc.  I tried looking online for books only to keep ending up with online tutorial sites.  Now I know blender has a book out and Daz has an ebook.  I can't use ebooks (bad eyes from staring at the computer so much), and I want general books, not just about blender...hopefully.

If anyone know of any books about creating with 3d programas, this will be an immense help to me.

Thank you in advance...Calie Vee

Did you go over to Amazon and look?  You'd be surprised what they have.

Thank you both for the help and I did find a bunch at Amazon for many programs.

I shop at Amazon regularly, so I know they have a lot of used software books, but you can also find used software.  If you buy any 3D programs, you should check over there first.  Everyone I've dealt with so far has come through sending me what I buy there.

Have fun! (:
