Book Reviews of Creating the Art of the Game (New Riders Games)

Book Review: Wow! Finally...
Summary: 5 Stars

Matthew takes the reader through all the nooks and crannies of creating art for games, from games interfaces, blocking out levels to alpha masks for textures and normal maps. The funny thing is, it is not an endless line of tutorials to show how its done, but at the end of it, you still feel, when you see the cutting edge art out there in games, 'yeah, I know how that is done.' All you need then is talent and perspiration.

The book illustrates every technique with in depth examples in both Maya and 3ds Max side by side. Another great feature. I know you hear those marketing cliches of "If you are only gonna buy one book on XX, then..." every day, but if you want games art and how its done, then THIS IS THAT BOOK.
