Personal Review: Bounce, Tumble, and Splash!: Simulating the
Physical World with Blender 3D by Tony Mullen
This is a great book. The quality of the print, color illustrations (although
they sometimes don't do justice to the original RGB artwork), the bundled
DVD with examples and scripts... everything is top-notch.
The text is easy to understand, and illustrations give you a very clear
picture of what you need to do, and where. It covers all (and I really mean

all) aspects of physics simulation: materials, shaders, hair, soft bodies,
cloth, water... everything. It presents everything in a well systematized
way, so you can't get lost.
The only thing that bothered my a little, is that author makes references to
previous chapters, so if you're jumping around the book, you may find you
need to read a few chapters more than you thought you'd need. But that's
okay, because anything you read in this book is good learning material.
For an aspiring Blender newbie, this book is, probably, the quickest way of
getting up to speed, and even getting the hang of some pretty advanced
stuff.
