Book Description
携帯電話や携帯ゲーム機のゲームは巨大ビジネスで、数多くのキャラクターがデザインアイコンになっている。しかし、小型スクリーンという物理的な制約や、異なるプラットフォームの技術的な問題から、デザイナーは少数の光の点の組み合わせでキャラクターを作り出すという高度な能力を求められることになった。これらの装置のためにアートを創造することは、高度に洗練された3Dのゲームを作り出すのとはまったくことなるプロセスだ。ピクセルのアートと3Dゲームのために作られたアートの間の違いは2段階にわたる。実際的な条件と、美的な配慮である。本書はその両者を扱い、またゲームのグラフィックの発展を検証し、ゲーム芸術においてこれまでに見られた変化と、過去に作り出されたすぐれたアイコンとグラフィックから学ぶべきことを説明する。『Character Design for Mobile Devices』は、少数のピクセルのみを用いてキャラクターをデザインすることに関する技術、インスピレーション、テクノロジー、それに創造上の課題を見ていく。下記のような内容を満載。
- 携帯機器のためのアート制作にまつわる過程をはっきりと理解することを助ける実践、インスピレーション両面からの解説。
- タイムリーで示唆に満ちた情報。
- インスピレーションやノウハウを得るのに役立つフルカラーの画像を400点あまり掲載。
内容説明
Mobile gaming on cell phones and portable consoles is a huge business, and many characters have become design icons. However, the physical limitations of these small screens, and the technological challenges of different gaming platforms, mean that designers have had to become experts at creating characters with just a few points of light. Creating art for these devices is a completely different process than used when creating art for highly sophisticated 3D games. The difference between pixel art and art created for 3D games is two-fold: there are practical considerations that must be addressed as well as aesthetic considerations. This book will cover both subjects as well as examining the evolution of gaming graphics-explaining the significance of the changes we've seen in game artistry and what we can learn from examining successful icons and graphics created in the past. Character Design for Mobile Devices looks at the techniques, the inspiration, the technologies, and the creative challenges behind designing characters with only a few pixels at your disposal.
Filled with:
*Practical and inspirational tutorials that enable you to clearly understand the processes involved in creating art for mobile devices
*Timely and inspirational information

Deceptive title, but still a good book
2008/1/2
形式:ペーパーバック|Amazonが確認した購入
Judging by the cover of this book, which features numerous sprites from old 8 & 16-bit consoles, it's hard to tell what this has to do with character design or mobile devices. In actuality, "mobile devices" has more to do with old portable gaming systems than cell phones, (plus there's virtually no mention of PDAs or their content) and there's really no mention of any aspects of character design outside of compensating for any resolution or color limitations.
A more appropriate title might've been "Sprites: The Book" This book's purpose seems more geared towad pixel art in general and the mobile content angle was added because it's the platform where pixel art is still a technological necessity rather than an artistic choice.
But don't let all that dissuade you. Considering how little literature there is on pixel art & sprites outside of webpages, this book is a must-have primer on the history and mechanics of sprite work.
Sections include an overview of raster graphics, a brief history of portable gaming devices, (which if nothing else made me appreciate my old Atari Lynx a little more) breakdowns of the limitations of cell phones and LCD screens, profiles of popular pixel artists, quotes from mobile game developers, walkthroughs of creating a few sprites, examples of porting sprites between platforms, histories of pixel-heavy video game genres, (RPGs, Fighting games & platformers) as well as histories of classic sprite characters Mario, Donkey Kong, Sonic, Bonk, Arthur from "Ghouls & Ghosts" & Castlevania characters. There's plenty of knowledge to glean, even if it's not what the title might suggest.
If you're looking for specific instruction on developing mobile content, look elsewhere. But if you're in the market for a broad overview on sprites and pixel art, you've found a winner.
