From the Actor

This training video is more than 9 hours of Photoshop Texturing training designed to show 3D artists how to get the most out of Photoshop CS.

Product Description

Photoshop is hardly taught or marketed to texturing artists. It is always taught or marketed to digital photographers, graphic designers or printing houses. Photoshop has a wide array of tools that make it an excellent tool for texturing. And though Photoshop is the choice for this task most everywhere, many people are in the dark about its expansive abilities as texturing tool.

This video marries the abilities of Photoshop as a powerhouse digital editor and the industry requirements of video game / CG Texturing. This video is, from start to finish, how to create a finalized CG or game texture from: planning to creation to exporting for 3D / video game use. This video features I wide set of Photoshop tools. Some tools are not common while others are uncommon applications of common tools. The end result of this project based tutorial is a highly tactile and visually detailed production-ready texture, whose creation is witnessed from beginning to end.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Photoshop learning experience., May 15, 2006

By	Spencer Kirk-jackson (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have had the great pleasure and honor of being taught by Andrew Britton. For the past nine months I have been studying 3D Animation, requiring a large amount of Photoshop use.

The DVD was recommended to me by a previous student while we were discussing creating textures for 3D in Photoshop. I considered myself a reasonable Photoshop user, after all I have been building websites with it for a number of years. However, in the over nine hours of video that this DVD contains I have learned more than in past 3 to 5 years of Photoshop use.

There are tips on settings within Photoshop that will make you use of it far simpler and much more efficient, tips on keyboard shortcuts and interface use that you simply wont believe you managed to use Photoshop without them!

The content is well paced, easily followed and thorough. Containing many useful examples. I cannot recommend this tool highly enough.

If you ever get the chance to by taught by this gentleman, seize it with both hands, a true teacher in all mediums.

Thank you Andrew.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for all levels, September 21, 2005

By	erik turchin (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews

any photoshop user can benefit from this. If you are completely new to texturing, then this is what you want for sure. If you already know a bit about texturing with photoshop, then you should still get it as you will certianly find new ways and methods you can add to your own. The examples consist of basically 2 tutorials, 1 really long wall texture, which offers some unique ways of going about things, and the other uses the pen tool, and shows how photoshop can do many of the same things as illustrator. Alot of little tips/tricks along the way in this dvd that will help you in your own work. Perfect for texturing in ways that are non-destructive in nature. That is, you can use his methods to allow alot of changes/flexability after-the-fact. Eg boss wants change, but you did not build with that in mind, ect... The tutorials that you build are not all that great, but who cares, the process he takes you through to get them made and the techniques employed are high quality for sure. Just apply what he shows to your own, that is the key.
