    • Great starter book for blender newbies
Format: Paperback
My husband's really enjoying Blender for Dummies. He got it to learn the basics and it's been perfect. It's easy to understand, and it covers everything he needs to get started .Just a heads up, the book references Blender 2.8, so some things might be a bit different if you're using a newer version like 5.1. Still, it's a great starting point and he'd recommend it for other beginners. ... show more

    • Must have Blender book.
This is a must have book for Blender. The explanations are good and there is a lot of information in this book. The one thing that would benefit it is more examples. Some topics are not covered at all, but this is the nature of Blender. There is just too much to cover in one book. I wish the author would have written a follow up book. Also, this book was written for Blender 2.8, so it is showing its age in that respect but it's not a huge problem. ... show more

    • Lots of info
Format: Paperback
Wanted to learn 3d modeling so I can design my own models for my 3d printer. Lots of good info here and everything is organized neatly. Must have if you want to get better with Blender!

    • fantastic book
I found my self very frustrated trying to learn Blender because of the sheer magnitude and complexity of the program, and the official online documentation was hard to follow. This book is organized very well. So far, many things I have read in this book has made a lightbulb go off in my head. "Oh THAT's why they do that!". If I had looked at this book before I had some experience with blender I might have found it hard to follow. There is no substitute for hands on learning and gaining muscle memory through sheer repetition, however if you follow this book in conjunction with physical familiarity with the program, what he is saying becomes more intuitive. I don't find this book boring at all. It is well thought out, comprehensive, and accessible. I'm glad I found it. ... show more

    • Can't Go Wrong With A For Dummies Book
Format: Paperback
I am learning Blender in order to create items for my 3D printer and for my CNC machine. Blender for Dummies has helped me learn to create and edit projects for both of these machines.

    • Covers blender's many hotkeys and features very well. But is 2.8 I think.
Format: Paperback
I am using 2.9x, but got this just for the coverage of 2.8. He does a thorough job of covering all the features and hotkeys and with a little experimentation is a perfect companion even if you are using 2.9x. There is NO comparable book for 2.9x. :-|

    • Not useful for me
Format: Paperback
What I was hoping for was some hand-holding tutorials where we start with basic models and build more complicated things near the end. I knew I could get this on youtube but having to pause the video all the time to keep up isn't ideal. This book isn't about tutorials but reads more like a reference manual where every feature in the covered (and now dated) version is described methodically. Maybe I'll find that useful in the future but for learning, I ended up just going with youtube and found success there. ... show more
