Just have to put in my 2 12 cents here. Shamm's Mortiers Poser book is deeply flawed, I was willing to give him the benifit of the doubt since there simply was no other Poser book out at the time. I saw he had a Bryce 5 book, I never even picked it up off the shelf, why oh why does this man continue to be published? BTW I disagreee about the Cinema 4D handbook, I liked it and so did many others. Susan Kitchens is incredible and everyone should have her Bryce book, too cool. It is deeply disturbing that the man who gave the world the sharks head on a skeletan and the dog's head totem pole, no I'm not kidding, would be allowed to put his crayon to paper again, I hope at least this time he does not give advice on how to work with animals not in the program, how to used orphaned 3rd party software or, for the love of God, to make someones neck really really long, yeeesh!
