簡介:

內容介紹：
Blender 3D是一款優秀的開源3D軟件。有著堪比當今重量級3D軟件的性能。
官方網站：www.blender.org
國內關於Blender的資料還不多，因此向大家介紹些國外的Blender書籍，希望能夠給大家提供方便。
《Blender 3D 2.49不可思議的機器》全面介紹了Blender的建模、渲染、動畫等各種功能，很適合學習使用。
作者介紹：
Allan Brito是位巴西藝術家，使用Blender進行藝術創作。在3D建模、動畫和多媒體方面有廣泛的使用和教育經驗。這是他的第三本關於Blender的圖書。
摘錄書中序言：
序言
Blender 3D提供了創作用於藝術、電影和計算機游戲的逼真3D模型的全部功能。《Blender 3D 2.49不可思議的機器》將指導你一步一步地創建武器、載具、機器人等等。
這本書將展示如何使用Blender 3D建模和生成視覺效果。通過本書，將指導你一步步地創建三個不同的項目：一個科幻風格的武器、一艘太空船和一個巨大的機器人。盡管這些可能不夠真實，但從這些實例中學到的技巧將使你有能力創造你自己的奇思妙想。
這本書的三個部分，其知識點的安排是循序漸進的。第一個項目是一把手持式武器，我們將建一個粗糙的小模型。本書的這個部分將告訴你如何用Blender 3D創建模型細節。
在第二個項目中，我們將創建一艘太空船，再裝點上一些小玩意，新的材質和貼圖。在這一部分裡，我們將接觸到金屬、玻璃和一些組成太空船的細節。
最後，一個大型復雜的項目，一個可變形機器人。本書的最後一部分將包括建立兩個模型和如何讓它們相互變形。這個項目的對象數量和復雜度都很大，但是和前面的部分一樣，我們將一步步的指導你完成這個項目。
注：以上是我翻譯的，本書為英文版，國內未見譯本。
我本有心翻譯，但現在太忙，沒有時間。
以後我會陸續為大家介紹些優秀的Blender方面的資料，歡迎大家使用Blender，支持自由軟件！
