For animators at all levels, provides readers with the essentials, some presented in tutorial form, others in explanatory discussion. Coverage includes NURBS and polygon modeling, deformation tools, special effects, human features and figures, lighting and surfacing, facial animation, and composition and cinematography. Ratner founded and heads the Computer Animation Program at James Madison University. The book is abundantly illustrated, and the included CD-ROM includes useful models; it is compatible with high-end software such as LightWave, Softimage, and Houdini, among others (mid-range packages will work with some of the exercises).
