Product Description
The multi-billion dollar computer game industry is growing at an incredible rate, and the competition to produce real-time games with faster, more realistic effects is fierce. Mastering real-time issues is a challenge for even the most seasoned developers, but one essential tool for overcoming real-time problems is to use low polygon models. The Art of Low Polygon Count Modeling teaches modelers how to create game-ready 3D models using any 3D application. Through step-by-step instructions, modelers learn the necessary skills, organizational techniques, and most effective ways to use 3D applications to create low poly models. Tutorials and "how-to" guidelines, teach users modeling techniques from the initial sketch phase to final development.

Reader ReviewsPlease pocket your money. Don't shell it out on this book. This book is ALL about using the extrude feature in your 3D program. Extrude this, extrude that. It's tutorials are also VERY unclear and leave you hanging in the dark with unanswered questions. It uses awful, uninspiring art for sample work throughout the tutorials. You're better off learning on your own, experimenting with the controls and what not. What a "lie" . The title is very misleading. I am never buying anything from that publishing company ever again.
