INTRODUCTION
Creating cartoon animals is a great starting point for anyone who is thinking about having a go at 3D. Cartoon animals are usually made up of shapes and forms that are fairly simple to model, and since realism is not the focus of this kind of work, it gives you an opportunity to be expressive and experimental at all points of the creative process. In this eBook the artists will be talking you through how to approach this task, firstly by concentrating on how to create your idea, but then moving on to the modeling, texturing and post-production. Each chapter provides you with an opportunity to see into the workflow of these outstanding industry professionals and learn valuable techniques you can use in your own workflow.

Worth the money
-
I qualify this review by saying that im not a 3ds Max user and use other 3D software and therefore the book was less useful for me than i expected. I had hoped the book was a little more in depth regarding the finer details of the model and its creation. The book was however a good explanation of workflow and should be a valuable resource for people using the appropriate software.

Great eBook
-
Well thought out instructional process of how to create really cool 3D characters. It could have went into a little more detail in some sections, but I like that different 3D artists each give you a lesson, providing their own personal workflow.

Usful introduction to a few methods
-
Useful small shot of info in this book, which is what I have come to expect from 3DT ebooks. Jose Alves da Silva's part on vray was good, and I really liked the compositing results of the final chapter of Kechashki's work (cover image).

Really great insight on the artists and their creations. I always appreciate the actual thoughts and inner-workings demonstrated, instead of just a "here's how you do this" approach.

Nice intermediate overview of concepts
-
This one is not for the beginner, but more for mid level artist showing a brief concept of the designs, and workflows used. This gets the point across for some imaginative critters to get one started on their own design.

great variety

A very nice variety of "critters" with a nice a-to-z how to's with each of them. Not for the basic beginner, a lot of meat in these to chew through. :)

Great overview of workflow

This is a great overview of the workflow from concept to final image for 3D modeling. It does not go into great detail but is enough for anyone with a basic understanding of the 3d modeling to find it useful.

Diseños Increibles
-
Me parece increíble el libro, muestra técnicas desde el inicio hasta la presentación final. 57 paginas de información importante para cada diseñador. Inspira a realizar estos diseños. Lo recomiendo, a pesar que esta en Ingles es fácil su lectura, y el precio lo justifica. It's a great book for study, I recommend for designer and architects 3D. Thanks
