Why This Book Matters

This issue captures a key moment for digital artists in 2017, when workflow increasingly moved between 2D painting and 3D software. The tutorials cover both worlds, from Photoshop portraits to SketchUp castle building and Fusion 360 drones.

For art students, hobbyists, and working professionals, ImagineFX provides practical techniques and career advice that remain useful outside the classroom or studio.
