This book focuses on how to create game art properly for a game engine, as well as how to export that art to the engine and make script changes so that the art becomes a viable part of the game. Although many of the processes and techniques will apply to specific modeling, texturing, animation, and game software solutions, this book will use 3ds Max release 8 to generate models and animations, and the Torque Game Engine for the game-side examples. These two solutions are at the forefront of their class; 3ds Max has more than 200,000 registered users and is used by more top-selling game developers for modeling.
