I really want to expand my texturing abilities in photoshop/3d max, is this worth buying? and whats the quality of the textures he makes?, it says he works on games, does that mean everything is low quality?, can't seem to find any screenshots of what he creates.

 

thanks alot, I'm prob gonna buy it anyway, but some input from ppl who have actually watched it would be nice

I love books - I have a library in my house - but for computer learning, I find video tutorials to be very good (well, the good ones).

 

I think CG-Academy has an advanced texturing video tutorial, as well as numerous free ones of so-so quality.

 

If you get this book, post a follow-up and let us know what you think.

errr, its a video m8

 

your absolutely right tho, the only thing that beats learning from videos is having a tutor in the room with you imo

I have the video, it helped quite a bit with the workflow of texture creation and using multiple images and techniques to generate a finished texture. Books are also a high value to me, I have great difficulty in jumping back and forth from a video to the program in which I am trying to follow along, this is much easier with a book and the actual program. Good luck.

I am green with envy, you just cannot see it.

I've got dual screens and there is no way I'd ever go back to a single monitor.

 

I use my 2nd (old CRT) for video tutorials, reference images, anything that I want up but not 'in the way'.

 

Didn't realise the item in question was a video.. hehe
