Product Description

Product Description
This title is available in a book and CD format. Lighting is arguably the single most critical element in creating a 'believable' look in computer games or animation. Film, television, and broadcast graphics all require a high level of skill and artistry in lighting. "3DS MAX Lighting" is targeted at all levels of animators and visual effects artists who wish to display world-class quality in their CG lighting environments. No other book on the market covers lighting in 3DS MAX and this is a 'must-have' for every animator and game/animation studio. It teaches lighting theory and introduces the lighting tools in 3DS MAX coupled with numerous practical examples.

About the Author
Nicholas Boughen is a freelance visual effects animator in Vancouver, British Columbia, who has used LightWave 3D since 1997. He has 20 years of experience as a scenic and lighting designer for the stage and video, and his CG credits include the television movies Voyage of the Unicorn, Aftershock: Earthquake in New York, and Snow White, the television series Stargate SG-1, as well as a number of commercials. He is currently engaged as lead lighting artist on a feature film.

1.0 out of 5 stars you can judge this book by its cover, 24 Aug 2005
By G. Hill - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is really not very good at all. Looking at the cover you can see the standard of lighting in the book is not going to be great. The examples consist largely of scenes constructed from primitive spheres and cubes and don't go into any real depth...they are so far removed from real-world production problems that it is laughable. This is no surprise when you discover that the author has actually written a book on Lightwave lighting and though his production experience is fairly lengthy, these all seem to be Lightwave productions, as there is nothing within this book to suggest that the author's knowledge of 3ds max is anything but cursory. I think that if the makers of 3ds max saw this book they would be very disappointed that a book is available that makes their great application look so very very bad.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for lighting, 3 April 2005
By Afentakis nikos (Hania, Crete Greece) - See all my reviews
While delving in a lot of 3dsmax books over the time, it was a pleasure to introduce myself to a book solely about light and lighting conditions for this program. It's well written, with a stiff and comprehensive introductory theory. A lot of paradigms in the main part help you to reconstruct the elements mentioned. 1 star minus for the missing CD. Where is it anyway?
