This is one of the best tutorial books that I have used with any product before. Not only does the author provide an award winning animated short film on the included DVD to inspire you, the book takes you through 5 interesting step by step projects to recreate the sets and characters from the film. The book covers all the basics and more and also includes introductionary movie clips for almost every chapter. The tutorials are interesting, getting progressively challenging as the more complex features are explored. You also get a copy of Sketchbook Pro 1.1 included, although not the latest version, functional all the same and the final chapter goes into transfering your storyboard sketches from Sketchbook Pro to Maya to use as a modelling guide.
