Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

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?

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.

The book is a good companion for anyone using Blender. It reads well and mirrors much of what I’ve done using Blender. I was happy to re-learn some old techniques such as creating multiple low poly houses and buildings to keep my Blender skills sharp. The lessons were easy to follow with example pictures and were fun to build out. In addition, I learned some new tricks to add to my Blender repertoire. This book is a must get for anyone who is getting started in Blender as it provides a solid foundation for any 3D artist.

This book not only teaches the basics of getting started in blender, it also has great tips for new 3D users as well. Definitely worth it if you are looking to get started with using Blender, or just the world of 3D in general. Intermediate users may also benefit from the book if you are looking to try the low poly modelling workflow.

If you prefer written tutorials rather than videos to always refer back to something, this is perfect. Every chapter builds upon itself and includes plenty of pictures. If you’re familiar with blender or have never opened the program if you’re a beginning artist wanting to learn 3D, this is a great start. I would say if you’ve already made a few scenes, you might not find anything new here. These are building block scenes in order to learn the program not necessarily reel ready scenes, but is a great starting point. It is mainly modeling and doesn’t go into detail about surfacing or lighting beyond the basics. This is great though when you’re starting out as it doesn’t give too much detail but breaks it down enough for beginners to understand and create a rendered image with nice quality. Would recommend to anyone looking for text tutorials who are new to blender.

This book is great for those who are completely new to 3D modeling, or would like a refresher. It breaks down step-by-step on how to navigate Blender's UI, explained how to use Blender's tools, and also breaks down each step for a number of projects which I enjoyed. I found it very easy to follow along and found the projects to be interesting and fun. Highly recommend for anyone who is interested in becoming a 3D artist.
