商品描述

Dinosaurs have fascinated people for centuries. Children are in awe of their incredible sizes and shapes, artists are drawn to their earthy colors and complex textures, and movie producers are inspired by their box office appeal. With today's powerful software and hardware tools, artists can bring these awesome beasts to life with amazingly realistic results.  Modeling Digital Dinosaurs explores how to model these fascinating creatures, while teaching modeling skills that can be easily applied to a wide variety of modeling projects. 

Using a step-by-step approach, every detail of the modeling process is covered from researching the animals to model construction, texturing, and final rendering. All of the techniques are written from a non-software specific approach, providing a useful guide, regardless of your software preference (LightWave, Maya, 3ds max, etc.). You'll learn how to model a Pteranodon, texture the rugged skin on Tyrannosaurus Rex, and render the imposing horns of a Triceratops. And once you've worked through the other dinosaurs and their unique features, you can try creating your own favorite. So let your modeling adventure begin.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

恐龍幾個世紀以來一直吸引著人們的注意。孩子們對它們驚人的大小和形狀感到敬畏,藝術家則被它們的自然色彩和複雜紋理所吸引,而電影製作人則受到它們票房吸引力的啟發。隨著今天強大的軟體和硬體工具,藝術家們可以以驚人的真實效果將這些令人敬畏的生物栩栩如生地呈現出來。《數位恐龍建模》探討了如何建模這些迷人的生物,同時教授可以輕鬆應用於各種建模專案的建模技能。

本書採用逐步的方法,涵蓋了建模過程的每一個細節,從研究動物到模型建構、紋理處理和最終渲染。所有技術均以非特定軟體的方式撰寫,提供有用的指南,無論您偏好哪種軟體(如 LightWave、Maya、3ds max 等)。您將學會如何建模一隻翼龍,為暴龍的粗糙皮膚進行紋理處理,並渲染三角龍的威嚴角。當您完成其他恐龍及其獨特特徵的學習後,您可以嘗試創建自己喜愛的恐龍。讓您的建模冒險開始吧。
