Maya for Games: Modeling and Texturing Techniques with Maya and Mudbox

Michael Ingrassia � Maya for Games: Modeling and Texturing Techniques with Maya and Mudbox�

Focal Press | 2008-10-17 | ISBN: 0240810643 | 416 pages | PDF | 24,8 MB

Well-known Maya professional, Michael Ingrassia, takes readers through his unique style of modeling: �Image Based Modeling� where efficient, realistic models can be created very quickly. Ingrassia�s techniques allow modelers to create exact replicas of their concept characters or objects. The techniques presented are very efficient and allow game modelers to quickly build out stand alone props to populate environments and game levels.

Presented are tried and true techniques that the author has used successfully in game production for the past 10 years. Most, if not all 3D books, focus on basic �box� modeling techniques, which are the basis for proper 3D modeling but not the complete solution. In the author�s experience, students who have learned through the Image Based Modeling brand, have quickly excelled into effective modelers.

One of the hardest things for any modeler to do is match their model EXACTLY to the concept art or photos they are provided. The insider tips in this book walk artists through this process. Artists begin with basic modeling and advance to a creating a complete scene and set design/game level. Rather than including sporadic models with zero association from to one another, each model in the book becomes an integral part of an overall theme realistic in game development today.

The Art of Game Design: A book of lenses

Anyone can master the fundamentals of game design � no technological expertise is necessary. The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses shows that the same basic principles of psychology that work for board games, card games and athletic games also are the keys to making top-quality videogames. Good game design happens when you view your game from many different perspectives, or lenses. While touring through the unusual territory that is game design, this book gives the reader one hundred of these lenses � one hundred sets of insightful questions to ask yourself that will help make your game better. These lenses are gathered from fields as diverse as psychology, architecture, music, visual design, film, software engineering, theme park design, mathematics, writing, puzzle design, and anthropology. Anyone who reads this book will be inspired to become a better game designer � and will understand how to do it.

Game Feel: A Game Designer's Guide to Virtual Sensation

"Feel" is the essence of human-computer interaction. It is the single most important (yet often overlooked) element in games that makes the game art form unique. No other traditional art form like film, literature, music encompasses interactivity, as games do. This book bring "feel" to the forefront and gives it a proper voice.

Product Description
"Game Feel" exposes "feel" as a hidden language in game design that no one has fully articulated yet. The language could be compared to the building blocks of music (time signatures, chord progressions, verse) - no matter the instruments, style or time period - these building blocks come into play. Feel and sensation are similar building blocks where game design is concerned. They create the meta-sensation of involvement with a game.

The understanding of how game designers create feel, and affect feel are only partially understood by most in the field and tends to be overlooked as a method or course of study, yet a game's feel is central to a game's success. This book brings the subject of feel to light by consolidating existing theories into a cohesive book.

The book covers topics like the role of sound, ancillary indicators, the importance of metaphor, how people perceive things, and a brief history of feel in games.

The associated web site contains a playset with ready-made tools to design feel in games, six key components to creating virtual sensation. There's a play palette too, so the desiger can first experience the importance of that component by altering variables and feeling the results. The playset allows the reader to experience each of the sensations described in the book, and then allows them to apply them to their own projects. Creating game feel without having to program, essentially. The final version of the playset will have enough flexibility that the reader will be able to use it as a companion to the exercises in the book, working through each one to create the feel described.

--Swink demystifies this crucial, fundamental, and unexplored aspect of game design with case studies, fully interactive examples
--Interviews with industry luminaries and in-depth examination of many classic games from a fresh angle.
--What draws players in? Makes them addicted to game play? Feel is the key element that is so central to game design. Finally a book that covers the topic in an in-depth, practical way, with interactive exercises.
--Website: Fully playable interactive playset with ready-made tools for game and feel design, six key components to creating virtual sensation, and a play palette - so that designers can first experience the sensations before applying to own projects.
