Beginner’s Guide to Creating Characters in Blender

Out of all the hundreds of books I own this is the 2nd best for quality! It's very well made and the information inside is also top quality 👌 you won't be disappointed with this book I promise you! Unless of course you already know everything it has inside then yeah but why would you even buy it in that case 😆, Highly recommended 👍

This is a superb book for anyone wanting to take their first steps into Blender 3D for character creation. Firstly, the book is top quality full color throughout & roughly A4 size & 346 pages long. As a beginner, it takes you through the basics of the UI & 3D concepts & then covers modelling, sculpting & rendering - and much more as applied to 3D Character design. Blender's online manual is the obvious go to for learning it's vast capabilities. But this book covers character creation & focuses on those aspects. I always prefer reading from a physical book in the comfort of a nice chair. This book was purchased from amazon with 24% knocked off. A real bargain. Top marks to 3D Total Publishing & the author Pierrick Picaut.

As a beginner just learning Blender I found this book to be a perfect introduction to the programme. While it's headline subject is Character Creation, which it covers really well, this book also offers an excellent beginners guide to the basic functions of Blender itself, and how the various different aspects of the software come together in the creation of Characters and props. So I would highly recommend this book to anyone wishing to learn Blender as it offers a comprehensive and fun way to learn the software, in a well designed and well produced volume that looks and feels high quality throughout.

This book is very helpful for explaining the basics. Blender changes through versions, and there are all sorts of ways to begin sculpting characters etc. that you're going to have to learn over time, but it covers the basic principals fine.

The book is very well structured, from the general knowledge of the program, its different screens to the specification of the different tools that you have to use to create the three / four complete models described. I had a basic knowledge of the application and this book has helped me to strengthen them and advance with the new ones. The level that is achieved with it is medium. From this book you can go deeper into specific aspects of blender. A book very well written that I recommend

Libro para estudio en diseño gráfico muy recomendado

Ottimo libro, ben scritto e chiaramente illustrato.

This is well-written and printed. It is section-sewn so won't fall apart. It is clear and concise. However, some of the screen dumps of menus are pretty hard to read. Apart from that this is a great workbook to learn Blender from scratch. It's not cheap, but when you get it you see why. So far it has filled in the gaps in my knowledge. It is way better than watching videos of how to do things because it covers everything in detail. You get a good feel for how the program works, without going into extraordinarily advanced topics that would just confuse you. What you get is a solid grounding in Blender instead.

This book is well done. Great explanations. The pictures are well laid out too. I'm learning a lot about Blender. Recommended!!

I'm still reading this book, and love the great introduction to the Blender interface and workflow. It is full of images for those of us who need to see it and reflect on how to use it. Blender is an amazing free 3D mesh design tool that also supports video production, game development, and animation creation. This book describes how to get started and get productive. Blender has so many features that the interface looks complex for new users, even after the release of 3.0. This book takes the mystery out of how to get started and has excellent explanations. Disclaimer: I have not finished the book nor was I looking for typos. This is a project-oriented and productivity review. I bought it to answer a question, which it did, and kept reading it in my spare time to enjoy it and learn new features. The book has thicker paper and a great feel for people who like the feel of a good book. The pages are matte rather than a glossy finish, so no glare. We have family members with low vision, and this book is easy to read and enjoy. Best of all, when our dog knocks it off of the table, the corners and edges stay intact and it looks great. It is beginner's book. It also has great information for intermediate users who know the tool, but use Blender less frequently and need a refresher on where to find the good stuff. It also explains some alternate ways to accomplish tasks, which I enjoyed. Haven't had time to use Blender in years, but when I do, I am on a tight deadline. With this book, I was able to adapt a 3D model and orient it for a VR learning simulation in less than ten minutes. I need answers fast and strong productivity tools. It is a great book! Is it perfect? No idea, but I love it.
