Blender 3D Incredible Models

Learn all about hard surface modeling in Blender while creating three increasingly complex projects: an assault rifle a sci-fi racing ship and an army tank. Key Features * Explore Blenders wide array of 3D modelling tools and features * Understand techniques like techniques texturing rendering and rigging * Employ these lessons to create increasingly complex hard surface models Book Description Blender is a massively popular and powerful 3D program with a variety of versatile modeling abilities that make it a great way to enter the 3D modelling world. Blender 3D Incredible Models is a comprehensive guide for those who are new to hard surface modeling with Blender helping you understand all the various tools and features on offer and how to efficiently employ them to create realistic models. Youll be led through progressively more challenging modeling projects – where youll develop assault rifle army tank and sci-fi spaceship models – and pick up all the skills you could need in Blenders vast ecosystem of features and functionality ranging from textures rendering and UV mapping to lighting rigging and beyond. Each engaging project builds upon the last until youre equipped with everything you need to tackle your own modeling challenges whatever they may be. By the end of this book you wont just know how to create the models we guide you through but you will be able to turn your own concepts and references into 3D Blender models too!
