Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

3ds Max Basics for Modeling Video Game Assets, Volume 2 builds on the foundational skills introduced in Volume 1, guiding readers into the creation of fully realized 3d characters for video games. Written by veteran instructor and industry artist Bill Culbertson, this volume introduces character modeling, rigging, and animation using real-world production workflows in Autodesk 3ds Max.
Through a structured, step-by-step process, readers create characters designed for the medieval castle environment developed in Volume 1. Characters are rigged using the Character Animation Toolkit, skinned using the Skin Modifier, and animated with essential in-game movements. The completed characters are then exported into the Unity game engine and integrated into a playable third-person environment.
The book features an integrated character pipeline from modeling to in-engine implementation, reinforcing learning through repetition while simulating a professional game studio pipeline—guiding readers through asset research, placeholder development, final modeling, UV mapping, and texturing using techniques such as box mapping and Quick Peel.
While instruction is presented using 3ds Max, the principles and workflows are transferable to other major 3d modeling and animation platforms. Stay current with updates, resources, and downloadable project files at 3dsMaxBasics.com—a dedicated hub for both students and instructors.
