Anne Marie Rasmussen is a writer, editor and self-publisher of digital magazines including the award winning magazine, Dog Gone Art. She discovered 3D render art while writing a series of articles on digital art and became an instant aficionado of the genre. While learning how to use the 3D software DAZ Studio, she found that, for a beginner, finding easy to understand instructions was difficult without a great degree of searching. As a writer she decided to take on the challenge of putting a book together to help beginners use this fun software. Fairly new to the software and having gone through the pitfalls recently herself, she wanted to write an easy to follow book which can get beginners started quickly.
