I would like to bring to your attention that a brand new expert book on 3D visualization is being published by 3DATS. 

My colleagues Louis Marcoux and Gary M. Davis each wrote a chapter and are both proud of the amazing visual quality of the book. It's the third of a series on architectural visualization and it completes an exhaustive overview of what you need to know if you want to become a great visualization artist. It's for anybody that wants to gain expertise in the field.

Here is a link for a preview of the book: http://3dats.com/expert_book/. It will ship in August.
