John M Blain - An Introduction To Blender 3D 2.54 + A Book For Beginners (2011).pdf

Learning Blender is not easy but it has limitless possibilities and will give you an understanding of the complexities of computer animation. Due to the complexity it is not possible to cover everything. This manual is designed for beginners to help with the very basics of computer animation using Blender 3D. The subject matter in this publication is aimed at removing some of the frustration from the learning process. Blender 3D is a wonderful application, especially at the price, but one major drawback is the lack of basic instruction. Documentation has always lagged behind development. There is a multitude of free information available on the INTERNET from various sites in the form of tutorials. Much of the information is relevant to earlier versions of the program and since there has been a dramatic change to the interface with the introduction of version 2.50+ I believes that a new student would find learning Blender challenging. This manual is an attempt to remove some of the pain and relieve frustration by setting out the basics. John M. Blain.
