Finally
the eagerly-awaited next edition of Luke Ahearn's cornerstone game art
book: 3D Game Textures is on its way. The book will be refreshed per the
latest revision of Photoshop and the latest game industry trends and
developments. 3D Game Textures allows next-gen game artists to learn to
create everything from bricks to books in Photoshop with this
step-by-step instructional guide. Because texture is 99% of what a gamer
sees when playing, this topic deserves considerable coverage but has
gotten little attention. Unlike anything on the market, this book
concentrates soley on texturing, and provides an in-depth guide to game
texturing with hundreds of high-quality examples. Game artists learn all
they need to know on the topic, including basic artistic principles,
tools and techniques, and specific step-by-step tutorials that explain
how to create textures for myriad environments.
New Coverage of the
latest version of Photoshop, including adding multiple edge tiling;
adding Photoshop Bridge coverage; an updated metal tutorial and adding
coverage of urban exteriors. Included in the second edition is a new
chapter and an advanced project, featureing a large outdoor urban area -
war torn city. Great amount of work on detailed textures (overlays and
advanced blending in PS) that utilize many shaders. This environment
will look roughly like Battlefield 2 or more recently Call of Duty 4.
The scene will include effects as well - smoke and bullet holes. Grass,
trees, curtains, signs, and more. The DVD includes: demo versions of
relevant software as well as resource images.
