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.

Long description:
Move beyond texture-less digital and vector art and apply the latest advances in software techniques to incorporate texture into your digital content. Delete your links to expensive texture libraries and expand your digital art skillset immeasurably by learning to create a unique and expansive collection of textures, shaders and materials that can be used customized and used for future projects. Luke Ahearn teaches artists how to create their own unique textures, shaders (the visual effects - reflections, refractions, opacity - that make textures come to life) and materials (collections of shaders that fill well together to map to a particular scene or environment). Already own Luke's Ahearn's "3D Game Textures"? Textures, Shaders and Materials offers a straight-forward, no-nonsense winning teaching style approach and provides an intermediate level treatment of textures (with all new texture graphics) with comprehensive tutorials and exercises. Includes an in-depth companion website which will include all texture, shader and materials used in the book as well as links, art files, plus valuable add-ons.
