3DTotal Publishing
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 indispensible 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: The Art of Atomhawk Design:
Volume 1, Photoshop for 3D Artists: Volume 1 and Beginner’s Guide
to Digital Painting in Photoshop.
