Blender For Dummies

I found my self very frustrated trying to learn Blender because of the sheer magnitude and complexity of the program, and the official online documentation was hard to follow. This book is organized very well. So far, many things I have read in this book has made a lightbulb go off in my head. "Oh THAT's why they do that!". If I had looked at this book before I had some experience with blender I might have found it hard to follow. There is no substitute for hands on learning and gaining muscle memory through sheer repetition, however if you follow this book in conjunction with physical familiarity with the program, what he is saying becomes more intuitive. I don't find this book boring at all. It is well thought out, comprehensive, and accessible. I'm glad I found it.

This is a must have book for Blender. The explanations are good and there is a lot of information in this book. The one thing that would benefit it is more examples. Some topics are not covered at all, but this is the nature of Blender. There is just too much to cover in one book. I wish the author would have written a follow up book. Also, this book was written for Blender 2.8, so it is showing its age in that respect but it's not a huge problem.

Some illustrations, being monochromatic (grey and white), are useless. Book about application dealing with shades, colors, textures would benefit from having at least some of its graphics presented in colors. Otherwise the book is really good.

I am learning Blender in order to create items for my 3D printer and for my CNC machine. Blender for Dummies has helped me learn to create and edit projects for both of these machines.

I am using 2.9x, but got this just for the coverage of 2.8. He does a thorough job of covering all the features and hotkeys and with a little experimentation is a perfect companion even if you are using 2.9x. There is NO comparable book for 2.9x. :-|

Blender is not something that is easily learned in a book. It gives a lot of head knowledge, when what Blender students need is hands on. Also, this book covers Blender 2.8 when my version is 3.2. Much has changed. Better to go to the learning videos and follow with them, however, I keep my book around for references.

My son is an animation/dig media major and says this book is great and easy to follow!

I'm not sure why some are complaining. I've never worked in Blender, but I found this book, coupled with some video tutorials, to be extremely helpful to me in learning the program. The short cut lists are especially useful, and the enthusiasm about the Blender community is great.

AWESOME Book and reference way point for all new to Blender It's got everything, if like me, used to use different software and just what to transfer over to another Easy to follow too.

Step by step guide to get started and create more advanced models in blender.

A great book on a great computer program. I stopped making model airplanes out of plastic (they gathered dust, was too expensive, they broke easily and took about 6 months to make each one) and now just draw them on my computer (takes about a day to make one and can be placed against cloudy sky or over the ocean). My favorite Amazon purchases: - Pillow Pets Nickelodeon Spongebob Squarepants 16” Stuffed Animal (toy) - Fast Times by Sabrina Carpenter (greatest song ever) - Twilight (movie) - Canada Dry Tahitian Treat Soda 20 Oz (liquid happiness) - Thrive Life: Freeze-Dried Strawberries (a reason to continue living) - Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson (book)

Das Buch ist aktuell wenig motivierend. Ich habe von vorne zu lesen angefangen und bekomme nun auf endlos vielen Seiten beigebracht wie ich Blender für meine Zwecke anpassen kann. Dabei möchte ich doch erst einmal lernen, wie man mit diesem Tool überhaupt arbeitet (gern mit der Standardkonfiguration). Echt frustrierend für einen Einsteiger.
