Can't say until it's ready to go. Probably from 20 - 30 usd there will actually be three volumes released at once that you can pick and choose from or you can of course do all three.

I split it into

Vol 03: Complex paint effects and animation this will include texturing for trees and grass and that sort of thing and materials. As well as covering the process of creating an fully animated environment. we'll also cover the caching for that as well, so lot of different bits covered in this volume.

Vol 04: Texturing the main house. This one covers techniques for painting in Mari you can now buy mari indie for a few bux a month even if you never do the tutorial pick up a copy of Mari great texture programme. It also covers getting more advanced texture bakes out of maya to aid the texturing process.

Vol 05 covers the new pass system in maya 2016 then compositing for both the still shot and the animation. Background replacement for animations, sky replacement color grading that sort of thing.

I've had to split it up to let people decide which parts there interested in and also make it as comprehensive as possible.

All three volumes will be out at the same time next week.

Hope that helps
