Taking a software-neutral approach, it teaches you the essential skills and concepts that you can apply to modeling in any industry 3D software, such as 3ds Max, LightWave 3D, Maya, Modo, Silo, XSI, ZBrush and other leading programs. Modelers, animators, texture artists, and technical directors can all benefit from the valuable information covered in this jam-packed guide containing years of industry knowledge. Simply put, if you work in 3D, you must have this book.In this inspiring and informative guide to modeling, industry veteran William Vaughan teaches you how to:Master modeling techniques to produce professional results in any 3D applicationUse the tools of a professional digital modelerControl your models polygon-count as well as polygon-flowCreate both organic and hard surface modelsUnderstand a modeler's role in a production environmentGain the knowledge to land a job in the industry as a digital modelerModel using specific tools such as LightWave and 3ds Max in over 6 hours of video training on the accompanying DVDAnd much more!

This is the book I wish I had when I was learning to model. It's a practical, easy-to-follow guide on what it takes to work as a 3D artist. I can't recommend it enough! Digital Modeling deserves a place on the desk of every serious 3D artist. As an artist and educator, I have a short list of trade books that I recommend whenever the opportunity arises. Digital Modeling by William Vaughan is at the top of that list. It is without question the finest expose on the art 3D modeling that has ever been written. Hundreds of students have benefitted from William Vaughan's one-on-one instruction. Now you can have that opportunity too. Digital Modeling is like having William as a personal mentor. His enthusiasm for the art ofmodeling and passion for developing new artists shines through on every page. The book is filled with sage advice, time-saving tips, and practical lessons learned through years of industry experience. I highly recommend this amazing book to students, schools and even industry professionals looking to advance their skill and understanding of 3D modeling. --Steve Warner, Executive Director, The Digital Animation and Visual Effects School "William has trained hundreds of artists working in the industry and has influenced the way I approach modeling. This book is a must read for anyone interested in creating digital models." -Ron Thornton, award-winning VFX supervisor and recognized industry pioneer
