Hello
Just a short e-mail to let you know that there is a new book on character
animation about to be published.
It's called "Character Animation in 3D" and it's by Steve Roberts.

Take a look at www.characteranimationin3d.com

Steve has over 20 years experience working in the animation industry and
teaches at Central St Martins College of Art and Design on the Post Graduate
Diploma in Character Animation (also known as The London Animation Studio.
www.londonanimationstudio.tv).

Here is what some people have said about this book;

At last! A definitive work on the principles of 3D animation, from a highly
experienced traditional animator. Steve Roberts brings his substantial
knowledge of teaching the fundamental techniques of animation to this
essential reference work - anyone who wants to make a career in CG animation
needs this book!
Dr Mike Milne, Director of Computer Animation, Framestore CFC

A fantastic, comprehensive, but above all practical guide to character
animation. The well-pitched progressive exercises at the core of this book
make it a must have for all serious animation wannabes.
Andrew Lindsay, Senior Animator, Lionhead Studios

'Finally! A forthright approach to a complex art form. An inspired text that
fuses an essential understanding of fundamental traditional methods and
technology'.
Rita Osei, Animation & Graphics Producer, Cartoon Network, Boomerang,
Toonami

It was surely a matter of time before a publication like this emerged. An
understanding of basic animation principles is often overlooked in 3D
computer animation. This book will do much to put that right; it is an
essential source of knowledge, which will enable 2D and 3D animators to
understand each other's purpose.  Daniel Greaves. Tandem films.

There's lots of free stuff to download on the website including tutorials,
movies and lots of fully rigged models.

So please take a look at www.characteranimationin3d.com

All the best.
