2d only
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 April 2022Verified Purchase
This is so poor. When you get the book, you find a disclaimer that it dosnt deal with 3D; only 2D; and then goes on about operating its 2D tools, which are perfectly obvious and intuitive inside the package. The complexity and prospective difficulty lies in the 3D useage, which is why i bought the book, and indeed why anyone would want the software package. I think its extremely misleading to not make the books limitations very clear at the point of purchase. I have missed the returns window, so the book goes to landfill; I wouldnt lumber a charity shop with it. What a waste of resources, time and money!
