................ I wanted to congratulate you on your history of computer graphics book. I rate it as a Five star effort. ***** I picked up a copy at Siggraph99 and have been enjoying reading it during renders. That1s an amazing find where you show early Radiosity techniques from the 19401s. Nicely done! -Craig Craig Barron (Matte World Digital) ................ I just read through the copy that you left with me. Good job. I particularly liked it that you put in many little side bar anecdotes. It makes historical things come alive. Thanks, Ed Ed Catmull (Pixar) ............ I just thought I'd let you know that a couple of copies of CG 101 trickled into our office and people are clammoring to get them. I was at the San Francisco sales meeting and despite being very impressed with Terrence, I had a hard time visualizing the book. Now that I've seen it, I understand the hype. This is one that will go on the bookshelf at home. Nice work, Kit Kemper (International Rep. Pearson Education Publishing) .............. Hats off to Terrance "tman" Masson for his book "CG 101: A Computer Graphics Industry Reference"... This thing is *staggering* in it's scope. Besides that, it's pretty cool... Good job dude. Dave Nix (Artist) ............... The Book every Animator and Effects Artist has been looking for! When it arrived I very quickly saw that I was not going to be disappointed in any way! The book covers so many useful topics including milestones of CG back to 1940, comprehensive descriptions of CG "tools of the trade", company profiles, behind-the-scenes stories, etc. Also you can find invaluable information such as CG job descriptions, demo reel guidelines, etc It is setout in a very comprehensive way, breaking topics down into distinct areas such as Modeling, Compositing, Animating, etc. Each section then contains huge amounts of information on that relevant subject, broken down in alphabetical order, making it very easily to pick up and read and also find things quickly.
