Mastering Autodesk VIZ 4 (With CD-ROM)

Customer Reviews

Dosen't know left from right

I just bought the book and I am on chapter 3. I have already encountered numerous times when the author says,"the object to the left" when it is actually to the right, or visa versa. He also doesn't know how to count. He will say,"select the two objects" when there is actually three that he instructed you to draw. The book does teach you a lot about VIZ, but his mistakes will make it frustrating at times.

Left From Right...

I'm about 1/2 way through the book, and it's an effective learning tool so far, BUT the author often doesn't know his left from his right. Over and over again he makes this glaring mistake, and leaves out steps that he clearly doesn't mean to leave out. The first few times I was willing to overlook it, but some of these omissions are costing me 20-30 minutes at a time, because I have to back up several pages and start from the point of his mistake. I can give specific examples, if anyone wants.

i just got This Book, "Mastering Autodesk VIZ 4" its amazing

i just got This Book, "Mastering Autodesk VIZ 4", by George Omura. There is so much to read, to do and to learn, here. The Index is well thought out and This Book covers a lot of Material. there is a gradual flow to the learning exercises and Information. i am just now reading thru the "What You'll Find" and there is a Tremendous amount of Information, here. it could take a full month to digest and learn all of This Information. so far i have about 30,000 hours doing Autocad, but only about 1 year using VIZ. i am looking forward to finally learning how to use this robust piece of Software, by reading This Book. i will write some more reviews as i work my way thru This. Thanks George.
