Moving the Three Dimentional

So this quarter I started my Intro to 3D Animation class. I'm grateful that my boyfriend is in the same class with me, he's great at 3D programs like 3ds Max and he kinda tutors me. I completed my first 3D animated project which is simply a ball bouncing down the stairs. But even though it;s so simple I'm really proud of it. I need to get the digital book my friend has that has from him. It's a book that has everything you would ever want to know about 3ds Max. Once I get it I'm going to work harder to improve my skill. 3D animation seems to flow a lot better than traditional 2D animation.
