I appreciate your comments, thank y...Hello Daniel,<br /><br />I appreciate your comments, thank you. It's great to know that artists like yourself are getting something out of my book. <br /><br />I wouldn't do something like a specific chapter on game effects. For one thing, I have not designed or animated effects for games, but also, I want to stick to over all principles and techniques that can be useful no matter what kind of animation project you are working on. Of course there are very specific requirements for making effects work with a particular engine that is driving a game, and the environment, A.I. and all has to work together. But if the core effects are working well, they can be adapted to whatever medium. 2D-3D, games, advertising, feature films, Saturday morning cartoons, iPhone apps, whatever....<br /><br />I want to keep my books relevant regardless of the medium...<br /><br />thanks again for your kind comments1<br /><br />JosephAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05945968768127943159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364313095242690516.post-84445959900321136242009-12-13T03:22:03.432-08:002009-12-13T03:22:03.432-08:00Well that's good news, will get it as soon as ...Well that's good news, will get it as soon as possible!! I put the elemental magic book in good use, not only in animating effects but the theory seemed applicable in drawing trees shrubberies and even characters too. <br /><br />At my work I make effects for computergames, which I had too learn by looking at youtube movies or looking at animation movies. And a couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to be handed your blog by a colleague and instantly ordering the book and being able to put the book in use immediately and I realized what I was missing for the past year, some good old solid tutorials.<br /><br />So hereby thanks for sharing your professionalism and years of wisdom!<br /><br />PS The dvd would be a great addition. Also maybe you could do a chapter about game effects?Daniel Ernsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09618997178195820626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364313095242690516.post-11589802099455381692009-12-08T22:02:52.575-08:002009-12-08T22:02:52.575-08:00I love you for this :D I'd be sure to let you ...I love you for this :D I'd be sure to let you know if something comes to mind!Carly Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01929901228073319941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364313095242690516.post-60558316489611120542009-12-08T13:56:41.539-08:002009-12-08T13:56:41.539-08:00rilliant!
