Hey guys, I id a search on this section of the forum for books, but can’t seem to find any. Here’s what I’m looking for. 1. A book showing cool design techniques and modern ways of things going on websites and such in Photoshop 7. 2. A beginner’s book that shows how to use 3dsMax 5. I don’t want a dead beginner book, but somewhere from beginner to intermediate is good, so that I can learn the basics but still learn good techniques and stuff. What do you all recommend? Thanks! -brad- ---

photoshop----\> Down and Dirty Tricks and also Photoshops Most Wanted (friends of Ed) I recommend those. 3DS man 5----\> I am still using 4.2 and I have a book called 3ds max fundamentals which is good. I really dont dig those bible books they are a good reference but not for learning. The tuts that ship with 3ds max are great for the basics. ---

PS7: Down and Dirty Triks. I learned everything from that book! Also PS7 Killer Tips or somthing like that, by the same author, Scott Kelby. He is really good, and the Editor in Cheif of _Photoshop User_ Magazine…so he knows his stuff…
