Rezensionen

'In terms of visual impact, lighting can either make or break an animation. In this book, Darren Brooker gives this subject the respect it deserves. Thoroughly recommended reading.'
Brant Drewery, Editor, CGI Magazine

'Darren Brooker has gifted us with a fine addition to our 3D library, to be referenced and considered over and over. Students and seasoned artists will benefit from the broad concepts and specific examples delivered.'
Robert Taylor, CG Supervisor & Consultant

'If you work in game art, film or architectural visualisation, you'll need this lighting handbook.'
3D World Magazine - October 2006

?This book is a complete look at the subject matter. It teaches real methods behind real world work. Those that work through it will be taught quality methods for lighting, and should be better able to evaluate real world light, being able to reproduce it in a 3d environment.?
