Product Description

Synopsis

Visions of future worlds have always exercised a powerful fascination. From the pulp artists of the '30s, through the airbrush artists of the '70s and '80s, to today's CGI animators, science-fiction has always provided the artist with a blank canvas on which their imagination could run wild. Today, as more artists enter the digital arena, these alien vistas, towering cityscapes, vast spacecraft and strange lifeforms are becoming breathtakingly realistic. With the right tools, you can bring your wildest dreams to virtual life. At the heart of Digital Sci-Fi Art is a detailed survey of the key techniques involved in creating these visionary masterpieces, with step-by-step workthroughs showing in detail how science fiction art takes digital form. These examples sit alongside a showcase of some of the best contemporary sci-fi illustration being produced anywhere in the world. With users of both 2D and 3D graphics applications catered for, Digital Sci-Fi Art is an inspirational as well as practical volume for digital artists at every level.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great primer, 30 Oct 2006
By ravells (London) - See all my reviews
Being reasonably new to SF digital art I found this book an excellent primer on techiques to improve my work. The book covers the use of 2d art applications (e.g. photoshop or PSP) and 3d applications (Bryce etc.). The tutorials comprise a finished product and a step by step guide by the artist as to how he got there. Burns deals with general principles rather than specific applicaitons (although these are mentioned) so the techniques descibed have a universal application. My only small gripe is that the screenshots of the works in progress are too small, so it is hard to make out all of the information on the screen (e.g. layers). Nevertheless this is a great book to get if you are just starting out, but will not tell advanced users anything new.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good, 25 Feb 2007
If you're inspired to get into sci-fi art, 3D, matte paintings whatever, this book is a great starting point. It tells you about all the various softwares available, what they do and what can be achieved. It covers things you might need to consider. It's not strictly a technical manual, but it gets the points to consider across. Many many wonderful renderings and pictures to get you motivated as well.
