I like it!

wow, good for you Mike! ;)

sweet as Mike! good luck and everything! :D

cool...

may i suggest an "advanced techniques" chapter 7 (or lateral boxes trough the whole book) where you talk about normalmapping shaders etc?

There is a general normal mapping section.

cool...
may i suggest a "game designer" to "game artist" dictionary? ;) (maybe it was only my dabbling on corporative design... but im still wondering what he did meant with "fresher"(well thats not true, he meant Aqua style, but we lost a day and half...))

oh and also a general "social skills and self defense techniques" to develop when dealing with executives? :D

no... seriously... post the full intended toc and maybe we can think of things you could add...

cool. I'am already collecting money to buy this book :P

Will the book be available in the UK?
And do we Simply Maya users get a discount? LOL

It might make a good prize for a future challenge prize.

Mark :)

I am pretty sure that it will be internationally available.

I do plan on offering a signed copy as a prize in a game art themed challenge once it's released. :)

Right on:tup:

i want to buy a book that shows u how to make a game and run it by the time u finish the book also dvd tutorials to show u tips and tricks:)

Sorry, this is just a game artist's book. Programming and game engine creation is a whole other set of books. :)

tezza search for "New Riders: Core Techniques And Algorithms In Game Programming"
Then. if youre good with maths and C... and if you find the right combination of perseverance, money and collaborators... maybe...

If it's out by december I definetly know what I want for christmas!!! :D

Can u send me a list of all books MAYA related? If u can I would be most appreciative.

If not, that's understandable too.

I just want to learn.
