Blender for Dummies (Paperback)

Description:

For people who think that 3D animation is cool and interesting, but don`t want to spend thousands of dollars getting started, Blender For Dummies is just what the animator ordered! Blender, the open-source, free 3D animation software has been used for everything from television animations to full-length animated features. Blender has the features that you expect in expensive, 3D animation products like AutoDesk Maya and AutoDesk 3ds Max and provides a way for novices to "learn the ropes" of 3D animation on the cheap.

Although Blender is very fast to use, it`s not very fast to learn. That`s where Blender For Dummies comes in. Presented in beautiful full-color throughout, Blender For Dummies presents information on how to use the program to create 3D objects with meshes, curves and surfaces and 3D text; add color, texture, shades, reflections and transparency; set your objects in motion with animations and rigging; render your objects and animations; and create scenes with lighting and cameras.

Written by expert animator Jason van Gumster, Blender For Dummies provides the know-how and shortcuts that allows middle-school students to create incredible 3D objects and animations in a single-day workshop. If you want to start using Blender fast to create your own 3D objects and animations, Blender For Dummies is definitely the place to start.
