About the Author
3DTotal was founded in 1999 as a simple 3D resource website. Over the last decade the site has evolved into one of the premier CG art websites in the world, offering a variety of training products, an inspirational gallery, a free texture library and hundreds of free tutorials on a variety of subjects.
In 2006, 3DTotal entered into partnership with Focal Press and launched the popular book series Digital Art Masters and Digital Painting Techniques. The premise for these books was to provide high quality content that would inspire and educate the next generation of digital artists. Featuring the work of top industry professionals, detailed tutorials and image breakdowns, these series have become firmly established as indispensable resources for any digital artist.
After five successful years working with Focal Press, 3DTotal Publishing was launched in early 2010. As well as self-publishing the next volumes in the pre-existing Digital Art Masters and Digital Painting Techniques series, 3DTotal Publishing has launched a number of new titles including: Beginner’s Guide to Digital Painting in Photoshop, Elysium - The Art of Daarken and Crafting 3D Photorealism.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2014I just ordered one after flipping thru most of the pages at an expensive bookstore. I do 3D art with 3DS Max and ZBrush, while using Photoshop for all 2D needs. With that said, I'm really looking forward to taking time with this book. I like it's variety, style and high quality content. I'm always on the hunt for more tips and inspiration. These aren't complete project breakdowns or tutorials, but a large collection of project highlights. It seems there's some good info in there.
I've bought many other 3D Total publications (several from that expensive bookstore in San Francisco), and the quality and content has been great!
I just wanted to help others who are thinking about picking this up. I'll likely get some of the other volumes too.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2014I really like the book but I wish there was more 2D art, but I'm not going to under review it just because I was hoping for more still an awesome resource.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2014The media could not be loaded.
The 9th volume features another 50 artists and their amazing digital artworks complete with descriptions and screenshots. Altogether, there are over 600 beautiful images included in the five sections, namely Sci-Fi, Scenes, Fantasy, Characters and Cartoons.
If you've been collecting the previous volumes, you already know what to expect. If you're new, you might be inspired to get the earlier volumes after looking through this. The quality of the work featured is phenomenal, from the concept to the execution. You should definitely check out the websites of all the artists in th ebook.
There are 288 pages. For the first time, I found out that there's actually a hardcover available as well but it's only sold at 3DTotal's online shop. The paperback edition is available where artbooks are sold.
Great book. Highly recommended as usual.
(See more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Imprescindible, como todos los de su serie
Como todos los libros de la serie, es espectacular. Los modelos que se presentan en el libro con una muestra genial de creatividad y dominio de las técnicas, principalmente del 3D.
Se hecha de menos algún modelo realizado con software open source tipo blender y workflow único, si bien hay otro libro , art of blender, que cubre este área.
En cualquier caso, es un libro donde dan unas pinceladas a alto nivel de como crean los modelos, y es sobre todo una fuente de inspiración, al menos para mi.

5.0 out of 5 stars Totalmente recomendado
Recomiendo este libro y todos los de su colección.
Son caros, pero hay que tener en cuenta que la tirada es limitada y no vuelven a sacar más, el volumen 9, en concreto se agotó en su tienda oficial 3dtotal.com
