Get all texture libraries at once. The bundle consists of Jeremy Engleman’s 3 new titles – many gigabytes of textures as well as training on how to use them. Gnomon Workshop textures are high resolution and seamlessly tileable. This allows for the creation of texture pages of any size.

Every texture has a corresponding bump and specular map. These have been hand manipulated to ensure a proper bump and specular response, and are not simply a grayscale version of the color map. The textures are entirely handled and stored in 24-bit TIFF format to avoid any compression artifacts normally associated with JPEG images. Also supplied are features with alpha masks that add richness and variety to any texture project.

BUNDLE INCLUDES:
Bricks and Blocks – ISO size 11.7 GB | RAR size 4.23 GB
Distressed Metal – ISO size 16.1 GB | RAR size 5.44 GB
Planks and Panels – ISO size 9.31 GB | RAR size 4.08 GB

Conjoining believable motion with believable acting is the holy grail of animation, and this duality is demonstrated by animating the bouncing man.
