Ok
Also ok, but not great. Better than the last one.
The book describes some things well. And doesn’t claim to be anything other than introductory. But it is in general infuriatingly skimpy. Rushes over things. Simplifies too much. And skips vast chunks.
In the chapter on Animations for example it explains practically nothing. Shows how to make a minor fix to an existing blueprint. And detours into the intricacies of skeletal bone mappings.
Tends also to focus on recipes rather than explanations.
This will give you a false sense of accomplishment.
Surely there are books that explain all this systematically and thoroughly. Rather than just cheap quick knockoffs.
