This Maya modeling book is unique in its approach to modeling a high-resolution character model. Where other books take a grueling approach that often leaves readers confused, Maya 8 Character Modeling breaks down the character into an easy-to-follow formula. Readers learn that modeling a character can be accomplished without the fear of being in over their heads. In addition, the author takes a light-hearted approach to the subject matter, making the learning process easier to digest. This allows the reader to look at the modeling process as an enjoyable undertaking as opposed to dealing with the steep learning curve of other modeling books.

This book is all meat and cuts right to the point - modeling and texturing game weapons like a professional. Written by Christian Chang, weapons modeler on America’s Army and now at EA, this book delivers what the reader wants. Starting with a discussion on customizing your modeling application for ease of use, the book emphasizes the importance of employing professional techniques when setting up your project. From there, the chapters concentrate on creating specific weapons - from a samurai sword to a modern high-velocity, fully-automatic machine gun - in a step-by-step progression from simple to complex. Each weapon is modeled, UV mapped, optimized, and finally textured for realism.

Книга является введением в конструирование изделий и посвящена основным вопросам и проблемам, возникающим в процессе проектирования и разработки. Цель издания - помочь конструктору в усовершенствовании функциональных элементов изделий, повысить их надежность и технологичность и т.д.

В книге изложена теория неупругого деформирования машиностроительных конструкций при повторных воздействиях нагрузки тепловых потоков. Математическое описание поведения материала основано на модели упруговязкопластической среды, отражающей микронеоднородность реальных сплавов. Полученное уравнение состояния позволяет определять кривые деформирования и ползучести материалов при изменениях температуры и скорости деформирования. Приведенные сведения отражают качественные особенности поведения конструкций при различных программах нагружения и являются основой для разработки рациональных методов решения соответствующих задач.
Для инженеров-расчетчиков проектно-конструкторских и научно-исследовательских организаций; может быть полезна преподавателям сопротивления материалов.

"В истории авиации нередко встречались бомбардировщики, переделанные из пассажирских самолетов, и пассажирские созданные на основе бомбардировщиков.
Самолет Не 111 с самого начала проектировался для использования в роли и бомбардировщика и пассажирского самолета. Такая концепция "двухполых" самолетов была принята в Германии в 1932 году, и на ее основе создавались Do 17, Ju 86 и Не 111."
Книга составлена по материалам Flugzeug Profile Не 111Р/Н, Flugzeug - Handbuch He 111, Не 111 (Modelpres) и Plastic Kits Revue #2/91.

Full color and great quality book. It was nicely package. This is a collectors book containing some very talented artists. As someone who has watched the artist's work expand over the years, it was great to actually learn their thought process and how they 'cheated' to get the images just right. You will be inspired and challenged to keep at it to produce your own work.
