hm yeah. You're right. The new series look a bit more fun... I will buy either https://www.amazon.com/Learning-Autod.../dp/1897177380 or https://www.amazon.com/Learning-Autod...d_bxgy_b_img_b Can't decide yet. I think the first one is more advanced?! The second one looks nice, but it is about animating birds??? sorry I'm not very interested in birds I'd like to model and animate human characters but can't make a decision between those two books Thank you by the way for your (very helpful) answers!!!
