Throughout the series you will learn hundreds of techniques covered in several applications. As the series grows, so will the amount of applications covered.

Learn to create amazing looking buildings with a small amount of polygons, using realistic materials and shaders created from texture maps (Color, Normal, Diffuse, Bump, and Displacement). For game design, Pre-viz for object replacement, or instancing over large areas.
