Reader Reviews
This book give a good introduction on game modding for Quake, Flight Simulator using gmax and a very thorough installation procedure. But in many cases, this book only refer to the URL instead of providing the installation file on the CDROM. There are only a few tutorial provided about the gmax itself and there are a lot more and better tutorial found on the net. Comment | | (Report this)
