Product Reviews Review 1: "This DVD is an invaluable addition to any CG artists library, established or starting out. Whether you're interested in modeling, rigging, enveloping or animating, there is something here for you. An indepth knowledge of anatomy is essential in this line of work, and it is provided here in a very well executed format. Tareq's methodology for sculpting subd's is fresh, intuiative and clearly thought out, leading to a beautifully clean end result. The ability to pause and step through frame by frame if needed means that regardless of your level, you should find the process of modeling what can be a daunting challenge, pretty straightforward. I can't recommend this enough." Steve Aplin - Animator-Creature Modeler/ILM Credits: Star Wars I, II & III; Men In Black; Harry Potter I & II; AI; Sleepy Hollow; E.T. 20th Anniversary; The Mummy Returns; Van Helsing Review 2: "One of the most comprehensive and thorough step-by-step modeling tutorials i've ever seen. The attention to muscle flow and anatomy within the layout of the mesh will prove to be useful for anyone who would be interested in taking their models to the next level. The method in which the artist constructs the polygonal flow has definitely opened my eyes on how to create better mesh layouts for my characters." Giovanni Nakpil - Creature Modeler/ILM Credits: Star Wars: Episode II & III, Pirates Of The Caribbean, Van Helsing, Matrix 2 & 3, Jimmy Neutron Review 3: "What is great about this DVD is that it uses the latest professional modeling techniques available. So I can take what I learned and use it on my next job or my next personal project. I don’t have to worry about modeling something that will be obsolete in a couple years. The muscle detail is amazing. Not only did I learn modeling, but I also learned a lot about anatomy. This also adds to my animations, because I can add correct muscle deformations to make the correct muscles flex. It’ll greatly improve the realism on my animations." Jeff Lew - Character Animator Credits: Killer Bean 1 & 2, Matrix 2 & 3, Kung Pow
