Creating realistic characters and seamless animation are must-have skills for today's film and game developers, and '3ds max X Photorealistic Character Animation' teaches these skills through the creation of a character-filled, action-packed game trailer.
The book takes readers through the entire creation process of the game trailer for a hypothetical game, St. George the Dragon Slayer and the Trolls. The tutorials progress from the beginning of the story concept stage all the way through to the creation and animation of the characters. In addition, the book's companion DVD provides all of the 3ds max character studio and combustion tutorial files, models, images, figures, textures, and texture maps.
