Hey everyone!
Writing to let you know that the book Virtual LEGO (by yours truly, Steve
Bliss, and Ahui Herrera) has finally hit the shelves! It is now shipping
from Amazon.com and showing up in your local bookstore soon (if its not
there already).
|
I’m just curious - what are the significant differences, if any, between this
book and the Power Tools book? Everyone has differnt requirements and I just
want to know which one best suits my needs. I’m interested in getting one of
these books, but it will only be one of them (amazon’s postage charges to Aus
are, not to put too fine a point on it, extortionate). Has anyone posted a
comprehensive review of each of the books anywhere - the one’s on amazon are
too vague.

Allister -
I’ve gone through about 1/3 of Powertools, and I’d say the material is organized
a bit differently. Virtual LEGO devotes an entire chapter to parts authoring,
and from what I’ve heard, it goes into greater depth with building instruction
theory/creation (but I could be wrong, I’m using secondhand info here since I
haven’t gotten to Powertools’ coverage of BI’s yet).
I’d love to see a comparison/contrast review of the two books! Can anyone who’s
read both give Allister a quick comparison for his shopping needs?
