ゲームグラフィックス 2009 - Game Graphic
polycounter lvl 17
I bought this book 2 days ago and this is very interesting.
They are some technical description about Tenchu 4, Gundam, Naruto, Basara, SoulCalibur , etc///
this is not a tutorial book but sometime they will explain about melscript for Tenchu, or Optimisation for Soulcalibur 4 on Ps3 and PSP, or shader, etc...
They also explain how they build level on Tenchu 4 or how they will create the rain effect on the floor.
Lot of little thing, but lot of tips!

This looks awesome, would love to read... can you translate it for us .!?!?! :P
or else
but id learn japanese for this lolz ....
That one is an annual magazine and there are no translation. But there are some book yeah... you can find the English version... This is very rare.
I always advise that one too :
http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%B2%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A0CG%E6%95%99%E7%A7%91%E6%9B%B8-%E2%80%95%E3%82%AD%E3%83%A3%E3%83%A9%E3%82%AF%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC%E3%83%BB%E8%83%8C%E6%99%AF%E7%B7%A8%E2%80%95-%E6%9D%89%E5%8E%9F-%E7%94%B1%E7%BE%8E%E5%AD%90/dp/4939007766/ref=pd_sim_b_3
The pink book is my first one and I can see there is a 2nd one now!!!
and a french colleague found the pink one in an English version on eBay O_o...
But yeah in Japan because of the very large doujin community there a many books teaching about game creation, pixel, 3D, etc...
But shity Japanese language is damn difficult ahaha
EDIT : Oh lol Lamont you gave the same url hahaha!
Oh and I bought that one too :
http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%AD%E3%83%BC%E3%83%9D%E3%83%AA-%E3%82%B9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%91%E3%83%BC%E3%83%86%E3%82%AF%E3%83%8B%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF-ntny/dp/4797347376/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_b

im very2 confused why the normal map is brown
omhg how todo the afurooo?? how how?
xvampire : oh yeah it's written "normal texture" on the bottom... You know.. SE... probably have a very good team for the shader... This texture is maybe before the normal for filtering some info... haha no really I don't know...
Cool thanks for those links! Interesting watch. Funny how they are stuck in those stuffy cubicles. I would really not like to be in a cube...
Pretty much replace what you saw in that Final Fantasy video you posted with an old Japanese man, a fish-boy, 2D animation and people saying sugoi to everything.
Because its object space instead off tangent space normals.
also leave that for pro´s ^^

Part 5/5 :
nothing....
they have plenty of cg-related stuff (like a whole nerd shelf with game art books)
some aren't so exciting (HOW TO MODEL A DOA-LOOKING CHICK OMGZ), but some really neat ones too
I got some really sick japanese artbooks there, lol
I have [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Game-Graphics-Behind-Favorite/dp/0060567724]this one[/ame], kinda old but still nice.
I'll get that sweet 2009 book probably
(and hope it will find a US publisher
I often just write down the ISBN number and order online though, no point paying 50% over the odds just because you're standing in brick and mortar
I have this book... it's AWESOME. you do not need to know how to read japanese to get what's going on if you have some knowledge of any 3d package... if you can follow a comic book, you will know what this guy is cooking up. I can read a tiny bit here and there, but I took the book to a friend who can read it and basically told him what I saw going on, and he read it back exactly as I explained it.
It's based on ps2 tech/polycounts though, but mighty useful as a starting point as he demonstrates how to model ps2 quality deformation joints and a few other awesome techniques. Included is a dvd of all the files that are in the book in various formats, max9 being one.
