Review
"I've been meaning to post a review of Focal Press' new book, "Flash 3D - Animation, Interactivity and Games" for a few weeks now, but found myself digging through it more and more, which is a sure-fire sign that I'm enjoying it thoroughly. And that's definitely the case. Big thumbs up from me, especially if you've been daunted by 3D animation and/or development before. Kudos to co-authors Jim Ver Hague and Chris Jackson for presenting this material in such a down-to-earth and easy to disseminate format." - Scott Fegatte, Adobe Systems.

With 3D one of the hottest subjects in interactive design, Flash 3D shows you how to use real and simulated 3D space in your Flash games and interactive systems. It explores the new possibilities 3D offers to thinking and designing with Flash.
