Book Reviews of Adobe After Effects CS3 Professional Studio Techniques

Book Review: Rendering Fire
Summary: 5 Stars

I originally picked up this book as a supplement to my other books on After Effects.

There is some good information here, which I think alone is worth the 5 stars.

I was particularly interested in how to render realistic fire effects - the book features a section dedicated to this, and many other creative effects which you may need in real world projects.

So, I recommend this book to anyone in search of a detailed discourse on creative post production effects. 5 stars.

The initial chapters were a bit dry for my liking, so I didn't pay much attention to them. I was mostly interested in Mark's insight on creating effects, I think this is the core of what the book is about.

However, there are chapters on setting up your tools and some of the quirks which can crop up, this may be useful for intermediates.
All good stuff I suppose.
