Weishar presents an introduction to 3D modeling irrelevant of the specific application being used. In the first part of the book Weishar discusses platforms and packages, planning, modeling, textures, lighting, and rendering. The second half of the book includes case study interviews with 3D artists such as Robyn Miller of Myst, Ron Thorton of Babylon 5, and Chris Carter from National Geographic. This is an excellent book for designers and young people thinking about moving into 3D design.

Book Description
Create realistic 3D environments with ease. Harness the latest computer-generated 3D imaging techniques to design exciting virtual environments. Peter Weishar's Digital Space shows you how to solve design problems with today's easy-to-use software...apply the traditional methods of scenic designers, painters, and architects to create 3D images...and optimize all aspects of your 3D models. packed with nearly 200 illustrations, this expert design tool enables you to: create models, set designs, lighting, textures, interiors and exteriors, perspective and trompe l'oeils; apply such digital techniques as fly-throughs, texture-mapping, ray tracing and radiosity; take advantage of tips and shortcuts for faster execution, reduced file size and simulations; and much more!
