Introduction

Welcome to the world of 3D! The fact that you are reading this book means that there is a good

chance you are interested in 3D animation. You have heard that Blender is a freely available

program capable of making such animations, so now you want to know how to use it, and fast!

But then, it’s dangerous for me to guess this scenario. Perhaps it’s 3D games you’re interested

in making. Perhaps you’re not into the animation side of things, but you want a good reference

on how to get started on making your own 3D models. Maybe you’ve heard that Blender has

some powerful video-editing capabilities. Well, Blender can do all these things and so much

more.

When I started using Blender, I was soon overwhelmed with the many controls it has.

Buttons just seemed to be arranged all over the place! When I pressed one button to see what it

did, sometimes all the other controls around it would change, but I had no clue as to what the

button I had just clicked was supposed to be doing.

What I needed was direction. I didn’t want a manual explaining what every button does (I

didn’t have the patience), but a guide to explain just the few important options needed to get

me started. I’m hoping that this is the kind of book I have written for you.

This book does not aim to be exhaustive, and yet it is not written to an overly simplified

manner so as to insult your intelligence. 3D animation by its very nature is not simple. What

you have with Beginning Blender is a book that covers a good range of the many different areas

of Blender, with practical examples to get you fast-tracked into using those areas.

Whether you are wanting to learn 3D modeling, animation, game-making, or movie

production, this book will get you started the area you want to go.

The following sections outline what we’ll cover in each chapter.

How This Book Is Organized

The first two chapters introduce Blender, with essential information that you really need to

know before digging into the program.

Chapter 1 starts off with the background of Blender, explaining what Blender is and how it

came to be, including some sample artwork from talented Blender users. I don’t like “practical”

books that turn into history lessons, although once you see what Blender can do, you’re

naturally going to get curious about how such a powerful program could possibly be free, so I

decided the information was relevant. I have also included information on where you can get

the latest versions of Blender and how you can install it on most common operating systems.

Chapter 2 contains key information to understanding Blender in terms of the user

interface. It is important that you get a mindset for thinking in terms of 3D space. Everything

you do in Blender will be affected by your understanding of the base concepts in this chapter,

making it a must-read before any of the remaining sections of the book.

The remaining chapters of the book branch out into the different areas of Blender, before

concluding with some resources you can look to for continuing your learning. The sections are

progressive in terms of complexity, although I have made each chapter independent from the

others, in order to cater for readers who like to skip a head and flip to a particular section of

interest.

Chapter 3 contains information on basic modeling. Blender has many mesh modeling tools

that can prove overwhelming to the beginner, so I have outlined the ones I believe are going to

be the most important; and this chapter is designed to be a reference you will want to return to

as you come to grips with the most essential tools. I have included instructions on how you can

set up a mirror modifier for the times when you need to build anything symmetrical. Modeling

is an art, making it a difficult task even for experienced Blender users, so I also included

information on how you can use Blender’s sculpting tools to make modeling as easy and as

enjoyable as working with clay, including how you can integrate the different modeling

techniques together.

Once you can make models, Chapters 4 and 5 are concerned with using lighting and

texturing to make your work look good. In Chapter 4 you will learn how to set up a camera and

lights to effectively display your model, and there is information on how you can design your

own procedural textures to enhance the surface texture and the color of your models. Chapter 5

takes your texturing to the next level with UV-unwrapping techniques, showing you how to

make very realistic textures created from photographic sources. The chapter then outlines

normal mapping techniques, a valuable skill in games modeling, where you can use texturing to

make low-detail models look as though they are highly detailed.

Chapter 6 returns to the earlier emphasis of modeling, this time outlining more unusual

techniques than those presented in Chapter 2. The techniques presented here include lesser-

used techniques, specifically for modeling with curved surfaces.

Chapters 7 and 8 look at animation. This is where your creations will be transformed from

static models into moving, lifelike creatures. You will learn how keyframe-based animation is

used in Blender and how you can set up your models so that they bend, and what you need to

know in order to make them walk. Chapter 7 contains the basics of what you need to know to

get started in animation, whereas Chapter 8 goes onto more advanced techniques, right up to

how you can prepare the mouth shapes of characters for lip syncing animation.

Chapter 9 looks at how movies are can be made with Blender. You will learn how shots can

be mixed in Blender’s compositor, including greenscreen techniques. You will also learn how to

use Blender’s cutting room—the Video Sequence editor—in order to edit the shots of your own

movies.

At the advanced end of the book, Chapter 10 looks at Blender’s particle capabilities, which

give you the power to generate special effects like water, hair, and smoke, while Chapter 11

explores how you can get started in making your own games, all completely within Blender!

Finally, Chapter 12 concludes the book by answering common problems users often face

when they first use Blender. You will also be shown a range of resources you can use to

continue to develop your skills, even after reading this book.

A Note on Blender Versions

This book was written at a time when Blender was undergoing some massive changes. The

official Blender version is currently 2.49b, although the Blender Foundation has been working

hard on a complete bottom-up rewrite of the code, and Blender 2.49b will soon be superseded

by the 2.5 release of Blender, which is currently available as an optional download to the 2.49b

release. I started writing this book when Blender 2.5 alpha 2 was available. During the time of

writing, this “cutting-edge” release progressed through Blender 2.53 beta and then 2.54 beta,

which is available now. There are significant differences between Blender 2.49b and the

developing 2.5 version of Blender. In order to future-proof this book as much as possible, I have

avoided addressing issues specific to the 2.49b release. Instead, emphasis is on the 2.5 branch of

Blender. It is likely that by the time you hold this book, yet another update of Blender will have

been released; however, given that the Blender this book is based on is the next version in the

making, much of what I have covered should remain relevant through the next few versions to

come.
