Short summary: Google SketchUp for Game Design: Beginner's Guide provides its readers with simple steps to model realistic 3D environments, levels and props with SketchUp and Unity 3D. They will learn how to create cars, buildings, terrain, tools and standard level props such as barrels, fencing and wooden pallets. The book acts as an aid in setting up one's own game level in Unity 3D creating a fully functional first person walk-around level.
The book enables designers to create 'game ready' textures from photos, discover tools for game-level and asset creation, and sculpt rough terrains using easy Sandbox tools in SketchUp. This beginner's guide takes the reader through modeling a 3D automobile with advanced tricks and techniques, adding lighting and walk around in their game, and importing one's game art into professional game engines like Unity 3D, Panda3D, Ogre, CryEngine, Unreal Engine and Blender Game Engine.
