Hey all,

I've already kinda consulted Leigh on this one, and she seemed to have a rather grim answer: theres very little, if nothing, out there.

Are there any good/great books out there regarding the art ofadvanced texture painting? I work in Maya and Photoshop specifically but i suppose if a book is good then it can be translated between mediums.

Any suggestions would be helpful, but i'm not really looking for beginners stuff.

The only book that I really know of is the one Digital Textures and Painting in the New Riders series. You may have heard of it before. I've got the Lighting and Rendering book from that series which is very good so perhapds the texture one would be too.

Have you discovered any yet?

I remembered that Gnomon had a training texture DVD including a texture library.

chk out the advanced texturing dvd. very thorough imho, learned a ton. and althought the project on the dvd was for a game texture, the techniques seem universal.
