I for one would love to see Ballistic (or someone else) produce an arch vis book of the same quality as their other publications - decent coffee table visualisation books seem few and far between at the minute!

However, I guess the main reason that the monsters / women theme is such a large part of the books is that this represents the proportion of practising CG professionals who are involved in this industry. Like it or not, that side of the CG industry relates closely to both game and movie production and as such is perhaps is a more 'exciting' option for those considering CG.

That being said, arch vis seems to be a growing area of CG, so I think it's only a matter of time before someone or other produces a decent showcase of the industry's best work.

(If you're after a decent arch vis book, the Hayes Davidson ones aren't too bad - available on Amazon.co.uk and from their own website. Anyone know any others?)
