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.

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 haven't really gotten too far into the book yet, but from what I've seen, it seems to be a comprehensive, easy-to-follow guide to getting to grips with the software. I'll add to this as necessary when I've gone further into it.

Ich habe meine Rezension nach einigen Monaten mit dem Buch überarbeitet. Es ist super. Das Buch ist inhaltlich wirklich sehr gut und erklärt alles einfach und übersichtlich. Ich bin kein Anfänger und habe mich für Details interessiert, aber auch für Anfänger ist es super, um reinzukommen. Man lernt sehr viele Aspekte von Blender kennen. Beispiele kann man online herunterladen und man wird Schritt für Schritt an alles herangeführt.Ich habe mich schon viele Stunden (geschätzt schon über 100h) mit dem Lerninhalt des Buches beschäftigt und bin begeistert, was ich gelernt habe.Mein Schätzung ist, dass dieses Buch einem Blender-Kurs für Anfänger von mindestens 4 Wochen (160 Arbeitsstunden) entspricht. Nebenbei ist auch noch ein Nachschlagwerk zu empfehlen. Nach dem Buch ist man super für die Arbeit mit Blender gerüstet.Die Bilder sind aber im Buch nur ganz schlecht zu erkennen (Graustufen und verpixelt). Dabei sind darin entscheidende Informationen erhalten. Die Bilder muss/sollte man sich in Farbe aus einer online-Quelle herunterladen. Dafür ist der Preis des Buches eher recht hoch gegriffen. Es ist zwar ein dicker und schwerer Schinken mit über 600 Seiten, aber es ist dickes Papier und große Schrift. Die Schrift auf den Bildern, in denen z.B. die Menüs aus der Programmoberfläche abgebildet werden, ist dagegen klein und damit auf Grund der schlechten Druckqualität unleserlich.Das muss anders gehen. In dem pdf mit den Farbbildern ist alles zu erkennen. Da schafft mein Farblaserdrucker zu Hause eine bessere Qualität im Ausdruck bei gleicher Größe der Bilder in Farbe.Ich kann den Kauf des Buches trotzdem empfehlen und gebe keinen Stern Abzug, weil der Preis für den Inhalt gerechtfertigt ist. Denn es ist so umfangreich und man lernt so viel, dass es auch sehr viel Spaß macht. Ich beschäftige mich schon viele Monate mit dem Buch, denn man muss vieles ausprobieren und entdeckt dabei immer viel neues.Man kann das Buch auch online/digital erwerben, ich habe aber gerne etwas Gedrucktes zur Hand. Von den Blender-Büchern, die ich bisher erworben habe, ist dies wirklich das Beste. Und es gibt andere Blender Bücher mit deutlich weniger Inhalt zum gleichen Preis.Fazit: Kaufen und Lernen!

This book is a great resource for people who use (or are interested in using) Blender. The book walks you through various exercises/projects that give a thorough overview of Blender's key features. I liked the fact that the projects offer a good degree of challenge while giving thorough step-by-step instructions that are easy to follow.I definitely recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more about Blender.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

Early Access is currently only available as a PDF or through our online reader. As we make changes or add new chapters, the files in your Packt account will be updated so you can download them again or view them online immediately.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
