A riveting new stage adaptation from award-winning writer and director Yael Farber. In this new publication; Farber (inspired by contemporary retellings) adapts the ancient tale of The Ramayana; attributed to the Hindu sage Valmiki. The original Ramayana forms a significant part of the Hindu canon; dating to approximately the 5th-4th century BC ndash; with the oldest surviving manuscripts from the 11th century BC. Farberrsquo;s potent revisioning of this age-old text is a raw and probing contemporary work which places the loss of the Feminine Divine; and thus our lack of spiritual and moral equilibrium; at its visceral core. This is a Ramayana for a new world.

Good beginner book. not too in depth thoughBy KyleIts a good basic book for learning about environment settings and generally what some numbers in the materials settings affect. If you are looking for quick and dirty renderings and know nothing about max. this is a good book for you. If you are looking for a more in depth look about mental ray and a deeper understanding of settings and some fun tips and tricks. i would look elsewhere. this book falls short.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Not that of a great bookBy Juan Ponce CasasolaThese book is intended for intermediate to advanced max users. but these material is far from that. MR is a very powerful render engine. and the book doesnt cover lighting with photometric lights. the HDR section is bad. bad. terrible. If you have basic knowledge on Max and MR. then you could go to the Autodesk online store and get video training that are better. I own about 5 training videos from Autodesk which are basically conferences by well known artists like Gary M. Davis and even though they are short. around 90 minutesa piece. they explain some things that books dont cover. In my opinion if you buy the book Rendering with mental ray and 3ds max by Joep van der Steen you will have a more rich information about how mental ray works. (it also includes some interior and exterior tutorials) so you could then simply apply it to your architectural projects.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good Tuturials to learn fromBy M. LombardoIm running 3D Max 2012 and though this book examples from 3D Max 9 everything follows along just fine. There are plenty of images to direct you where to find certain buttons and menus. The tutorials take you step by step on how and why to perform tasks to get the look youre aiming for. You can easily transpose those settings to your own personal projects. If buying used definitely make sure it comes with the CD. all the tutorials work from the CD and would be almost worthless without it.
