Description

Blender is a powerful 3D creation package that supports every aspect of the 3D pipeline. With this book, you'll learn about modeling, rigging, animation, rendering, and much more with the help of some interesting projects. This practical guide, based on the Blender 2.83 LTS version, starts by helping you brush up on your basic Blender skills and getting you acquainted with the software toolset. You’ll use basic modeling tools to understand the simplest 3D workflow by customizing a Viking themed scene. You'll get a chance to see the 3D modeling process from start to finish by building a time machine based on provided concept art. You will design your first 2D character while exploring the capabilities of the new Grease Pencil tools. The book then guides you in creating a sleek modern kitchen scene using EEVEE, Blender’s new state-of-the-art rendering engine. As you advance, you'll explore a variety of 3D design techniques, such as sculpting, retopologizing, unwrapping, baking, painting, rigging, and animating to bring a baby dragon to life. By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to work with Blender to create impressive computer graphics, art, design, and architecture, and you'll be able to use robust Blender tools for your design projects and video games.

I bought this as I migrated from making model airplanes out of plastic (often by cannibalizing several purchases, also known as kit-bashing) to drawing them on the computer.While blender is a bit hard to learn this book explains it in a step by step way. I love it.Now I make draw model airplanes and put them up on the internet for others to enjoy.My favorite Amazon purchases:- Pillow Pets Nickelodeon Spongebob Squarepants 16” Stuffed Animal (toy)- EOIVSH Large Tyrannosaurus Rex 12 inch (companion)- Augason Farms Freeze Dried Whole Blackberries (food)- Canada Dry Tahitian Treat Soda 20 Oz (liquid happiness)- Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson (book)

I did the stippling tutorial in Chapter 8 and it was easy to follow. I like the tone of the book. It feels like your favorite at teacher guiding you through the exercises. I would definitely recommend it to other people who want to get the most out of Blender.
