This book is an attempt to cover functionality in Blender that has not been sufficiently dealt with in other books and to cover specific workflow topics that will help intermediate Blender users boost their productivity and improve the quality of their work. The functionality of Blender is so extensive that even with the available books and training materials, there remains a great deal that has not received the attention it deserves.
For this reason, the subject matter covered here is broad. The first part of the book is the most varied, with chapters on a wide variety of Blender 3D features. The second part of the book focuses on Python and scripting for Blender, and the third part of the book deals with the Blender Game Engine. The only background that is assumed is an intermediate or advanced level of standard Blender usage. No knowledge of Python or the game engine is required. By the end of the book, you will have an advanced skill set in both of these areas, as well as numerous new insights in other areas of Blender.
