Helps you develop your existing digital art skills to create and export 3D character models, textures, and animations for modern game engines. This intermediate-level book focuses primarily on 3DS Max 8 to create and animate a game character, and Photoshop CS2 to texture your character. The book's CD-ROM contains demo versions of both programs.
A game is only as intriguing as the characters that inhabit its world. Game Character Design Complete demonstrates each step of modeling, texturing, animating, and exporting compelling characters for your games. You'll learn how to model in 3ds Max from sketch references, texture in Adobe Photoshop, rig bones, and animate a character back in 3ds Max.

You'll cover every aspect of the design process in easy-to-follow steps, including texturing and animating your character.
