LightWave 3D 8 Cartoon Character Creation, Volume 1_ Modeling & Texturing

"This book is great for people who are familiar with Lightwave but not very much experienced with character animation. It's an easy to follow, step-by-step book that will surprise you when you see how simple and easy character animation can be. I'm already halfway through it and loving it. Can't wait to get to volume 2, wich explains in a more detailed fashion exactly how stuff works. But I higly recommend it! One small advice: follow the instructions strictly, even when it comes to naming stuff - as I found out the hard way, Lightwave is case-sensitive when it comes to naming bones and stuff, and if you name things differently from the book, you will get in trouble by the time you have to write expressions. Also, refer to the writer's webpage and look up the typos in the book - if you don't correct some of them things get really messed up.
