Blender has become one of the most popular 3D animation tools on the market--with 3.4 million+ users--and it is free! The book comes directly from Roland Hess, noted Blender expert and author. Animators and artists will learn the basics starting with the interface, modeling tools, sculpting, lighting and materials through rendering, compositing and video editing. New features covered include the completely rethought interface, the character animation and keying system, and the smoke simulator. More than just a tools reference, Blender Foundations covers the philosophy behind this ingenious software that so many 3D artists are turning to today. The accompanying website includes all of the projects and support files from the book so that users can practice on their own with videos and step-by-step screenshots of the trickier tutorials, as well as a direct links to official resources like the Blender download site and artist forums.
