About the Book

This book targets a diverse audience with compelling material that cannot be found anywhere else. Inside, noted 3D authority R. Shamms Mortier applies his knowledge and expertise to the topic of weaponry-specifically, the 3D weaponry that is such an integral part of big-screen animation, the Web, computer games, and other CD content. Creating Weaponry and Accessories in 3D focuses on the principles of weapons design, equipping games designers and animators with the understanding they need to work effectively using the tools and platform of their choice. It is also historically accurate, and thus sure to appeal to weapons enthusiasts with an interest in how weapons are designed and represented in various venues. The accompanying CD provides many 3D models that readers can take apart or modify for their own uses, and eight color plates provide examples of the author's own work.
