Paul Steed a writer ?

I never noticed that Paul Steed actually wrote a book on 3D Studio MAX character modelling. He actually took the time to write a book on the subject. Check it out here. And if you have the slightest interest in 3D Studio MAX modelling I suggest you get it. It's brilliant. This is what Wordware (the publisher wrote): [quote]Whether you’re new to 3D Studio Max or you’re an experienced developer working on your next game, Modeling a Character in 3DS Max will be an indispensable addition to your Max book collection. Paul Steed, modeler and animator of characters seen in id Software’s Quake II and Quake III Arena, shows you all the tips, tricks, and techniques that have made him one of the industry’s most recognized 3D artists. Essentially one long tutorial, this book chronicles the creation of a single character from concept to texture mapping. [/quote] Doesn't that sound promising ?
