I am a game developer, i know a lot about it, but i needed this book in my learning process, couse it covers a lot of things that are “not covered” in the free 3dbuzz tutorials, or any other tutorials for that matter,
the book requires the basic understanding of unreal engine 3 and its editor, so it takes you in detail, explaining many of the advanced features of unreal engine 3, I did knew a lot of those things from before, on the other hand I also learned a lot from this book, I was especialy happy with parts about working with UI interfaces,
FaceFX , Cinematics and postprocessing, thou i picked up a lot of other tips as well!
The obvious downside is that it is written for Unreal Tournament 3 PC game, which is included in the book as a free digital download(awesome)!!!
I say that becouse of Unreal Development Kit, for example many of the things that work in Unreal Tournament 3, do not work in UDK, I also noticed a lot of extra functionality for UI scenes – kismet was removed in UDK(along with lots of other things), that basicly means you are limited in actually creating and publishing something untill you learn scripting with unreal script!!!
Overall i must say i “love” the book, and the price was really low for such a gem,
i think this book has no real competition, and is a must have for all game designers!
I cant wait for the release of Volume 3, which will cover unreal scripting, and thou i expect some problems (most of scripts made in Unreal Tournament 3 wont work directly in UDK-it will require some more editing couse UDK native scripts are changing and updating constantly), i am sure it will be a great succes and will teach me more then enough to become an experienced UDK unreal script programmer!
Tnx for this great book!!!

the product was a massive help in me understanding the more advanced features of unreal tournement 3 editor. However, they dont get stocked in the UK so the waiting time for this was soo long that by the time i got it was at the end of my univerity siemesta.
So if you are interested GET IT NOW!

The book is excellent and detailed. However i only gave it 4 stars because the print quality and iilustrations are a very light blk and white hard on the eyes.
All computer graphics books should be reqired to have color illustrations. This book does not include a pdf like most other graphic books to off set this problem and allow for portability. Authors should stop listening to book editors and use color. The price difference is mute because the booksellers discount the books quickly,so you do not profit from this cost cut and only disappoint customers.

I ordered these for a very talented friend who has the tough work of trying to break into the gaming industry. He’s commented that the books are easy to understand, and I see that his confidence has been boosted. Coincidentally, just today, he sent me his first rendering since receiving the books that he was very proud to say couldn’t have been possible without having learned it from the books. His pride is not unfounded or biased, and there is a nice obvious positive jump in quality from previous builds. We both hope he will gain the understanding he needs to impress future employers and have him hit the ground running in crafting video games.
As far as I know, he received the books in good shape, and I do know they were delivered in a timely fashion without any delays. Thanks!
