Description

Blender is a massively popular and powerful 3D program, with versatile modeling abilities that make it a great way to enter the 3D modelling world. Blender 3D Incredible Models is an extensive guide for those new to hard-surface modeling with Blender, helping you understand the complete range of tools and features it offers and how to employ those efficiently to create realistic models. You’ll be led through progressively more challenging modeling projects— from an assault rifle and an army tank to a sci-fi spaceship model—giving you a glimpse of all the skills you’d need in Blender’s vast ecosystem of features and functionality, ranging from textures, rendering, and UV mapping to lighting, rigging, and beyond. Each engaging project builds upon the last until you’re equipped with everything you need to tackle your own modeling challenges, whatever they may be. By the end of this Blender book, you won’t just know how to create the models covered here, but you’ll be able to turn your own concepts and references into 3D Blender models too!

Who is this book for?

This book is for aspiring 3D artists, animators, architectural visualizers, and game developers looking to learn hard-surface modeling, an essential skill in creative industries. A basic understanding of Blender and its interface, orienting in the 3D Viewport, creating and moving objects, and mesh editing is necessary to get started.

  • Explore Blender's extensive modeling tools and features
  • Use references to produce sophisticated and accurate models
  • Create models with realistic textures and materials

There are some instructions which show you 3-4 images of steps for how to model an object, and then kind of describe whats going on in those steps. Sometimes you have to kind of think about it and figure it out in your own way but I always felt like I have received enough information to manage. Overall theres a lot of useful knowledge in this book, I am a beginner-intermediate.

I feel like all the most important parts of Blender have been covered here, at least in the domain of modelling or asset creation. While most of the book is about modelling, there was a lot of information about texturing, rendering and some other topics. Some parts may be a bit tough for complete beginners, but they could definitely still learn a lot.

I'm new to blender, and have been bouncing between youtube videos. I found the author's youtube channel, and that lead me to this book.The book does a great job of teaching the tools, and then bringing them together to build complex models.

The best part of Arijan Belec’s book is the clarity of his writing and figures. Every page is replete with well-annotated figures that take you through the process, and it hits a terrific rhythm of explaining the miniscule details of a multi-step process, but also keeping an eye on the broad strokes of projects. The book focuses on hard surface modeling, and also does a good job touching on when details come out due to modeling details versus materials versus textures. These steps build up quickly, and the finished results for the three major projects all look terrific. If you are new to 3D, or if you’re coming to Blender as a Maya or 3DS Max user, Arijan’s scaffolded approach will get you working effortlessly in Blender very quickly. If you are an experienced Blender user, pick this up for some great tricks to up your skills.

I've come to blender from a lightwave/modo background. Blender has always been clunky to me but no more. 3 good looking models to be made, clear instructions, online files for download or reference, what's not to like. Buy and enjoy
