As a result, the book also reads very fluently and stands out from a dry software documentation. The book not only describes the parameters and setting options of the various functions, but also provides short step-by-step tutorials and use cases of the functions and tools. In addition, there are plenty of chapters on advanced topics such as animation, particle systems, simulation, tracking, Blender's Video Sequence Compositor, or even expanding Blender using Python scripting. Over the next few chapters, the entire workflow of the creation of a 3D model is explained: from modeling a 3D model, to texturing and shading, lighting and rendering to post-processing. The book starts with an introduction, which provides basic knowledge about the work in the 3D space and the related work processes, after which the reader is being prepared for later chapters with an explanation of Blenders user interface. And during the 2018 Blender Conference it was finally released as self published ebook at !
