Learn character modeling from Gears expert
Epic Games' own character modeling maven Kevin Lanning lent his knowledge to a new book that is coming out entitled d'artiste: Character Modeling 2. Inside its pages Lanning and two other talented modelers give tips on how to create flawless high poly and low poly models including pictures along the way. It's extremely interesting to see how much work, the amount of detail, and how much talent and effort goes into each character model. After looking through a few of the pages we'd love to get a copy strictly for Lanning's Gears modeling artwork ... it's that pretty! Head on over to the website, take a peek at a few of the pages, and if you feel the urge plop down $55 for a copy. And, as always, we would never turn away free gifts from our loyal (or not so loyal) readers.
Sci-fi author tackling Assassin's Creed books
Pro-G reports that a trilogy of Assassin's Creed books are to be written by best selling science fiction author, Steven Barnes. The first book is a prequel to the game and is set to release in October. The books will center on the backstory of the game's main character, Altair. Having written for television series such as The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits, Barnes seems like a natural choice (360 Fanboy readers will remember the recently leaked info that Assassin's Creed actually has a science fiction plot). We're curious to see how many of the game's sci-fi elements make it into the books.
So, will you be picking up the books, or will you be saving your scratch for the game?
