About the Author

Kelly Murdock has been involved with more computer books than he cares to

count — to the point that he avoids the computer book section of the bookstore,

except for the graphics section, which still remains an obsession. His book credits

include various Web, graphics, and multimedia titles, including the first edition of

this book, the 3ds max 4 Bible. Other major accomplishments include Master HTML

and XHTML Visually, JavaScript Blueprints, and co-authoring the Illustrator 9 Bible

JavaScript. Kelly also co-authored Laura Lemay’s Web Workshop: 3D Graphics and

VRML 2 at a time when we all thought VRML was going somewhere.

With a background in engineering and computer graphics, Kelly has been all over

the 3D industry. He’s used high-level CAD workstations for product design and anal-

ysis, completed several large-scale visualization projects, created 3D models for fea-

ture films, worked as a freelance 3D artist, and even done some 3D programming.

Kelly’s been using 3D Studio on and off since version 3 for DOS. He is also the cre-

ative force behind the children’s Web site, Animabets.com at www.animabets.com .
