"The operative word for this book is art. The Art of 3-D Computer Animation and Imaging is one of the most gorgeous publications to be wrapped inside book covers, thanks to the copious, full-color examples of magnificent 3-D graphics. The author, Isaac Victor Kerlow, Director of Digital Talent/New Technology at The Walt Disney Company, packed this book with the experience of a lifetime and chose breathtaking examples to illustrate his text. . . this book is an immensely valuable addition to the libraries of all 3-D artists. The wealth of useful information provided by the figure captions will augment even the most experienced animator's bag of tricks." (Susan Glinert)

From EFX Art & Design magazine "For fundamental understanding of a huge concept like 3D animation, you couldn't find a better reference book than this one!"

"This is a lavishly illustrated book, as well as looking back, discusses current animation techniques with illustrations from the best animated films and CG sequences yet committed to film. This second edition is handled with the skilled touch of an expert, so prepare to learn more than you might expect from a text."(Computer Arts, March 2001)
