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.

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. user added image

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