Customer Rating:  
Summary: Worthless
Comment: Utterly worthless book that provides horrid explanations. Really not worth the money, or even a look, it's just a low quality excuse for a book with most of it's "tutorials" being available free on the internet.

Summary: Outstanding
Comment: Very well written and beautifully illustrated. One of the best Photoshop books I've ever seen.
Customer Rating:
Summary: One of the best i have so far
Comment: After looking though the first set of tuts for making the textures. It pretty simply. There were not miss prints or typos, i never got lost while doin any of them and even more so i put in my own style while following these steps.

Summary: Good book for what it is
Comment: The cover is slightly misleading, in that it implies you can go from a sketch to finished art, which the book isn't about. There is a disclaimer on page XIII about that. This book isn't a complete how to create 3D art, many things lighting, render / game engine, post effects, control the final image and this book doesn't cover any of those subjects.
On the other hand he does 'demystify' the process of creating texures by showing how complex textures can be built up by combining photos, Epaint & procedurals. Even an advanced artist should be able to pick up some tips if they approch the book with an open mind
Customer Rating:
Summary: This is by far the best book out for both pro's and beginners.
Comment: This book teaches you everything you need to know about texturing, pro's can learn some techniques that they did not master yet and the beginners will be able to make decent textures for their models. Instead of buying textures of the internet, I recommend everyone to buy this book. It will save you more money and being able to say, I made this without lying feels good.
