Like computing, 3D printing has been around for decades but it was expensive and was only used for making complex prototypes. Now, prices have dropped and third-party printing services such as Shapeways have become available, making the technology available to everyone.Blender is an open source modeling and animation program popular in the 3D printing community. 3D printing demands more of a modeler than animation or virtual reality. The model maker must engineer their model to work in the real world. They must keep in mind the particular needs of the materials and printers that they are planning to use to print their model. This practical guide gives Blender users all the information they need to design high-quality 3D printed objects. With a solid exploration of the 3D modeling process, design considerations for 3D printing, plus step-by-step exercises, you will soon be comfortable making 3D objects for real-world enjoyment. Starting with an overview of 3D printing, this guide moves onto to precision measurement, fixing problems in a 3D model, and how to make it light and strong enough for real-world use.You will learn how to scale, build, and detail a model for a 3D printer. You will learn to color and decorate it, as well as making parts precisely in the size you want them, so that multi-part objects fit together smoothly. You will also learn tips on saving money when you have printed your model.With the help of this guide, you will be able to complete your project and learn how to export the file so it is ready for a variety of 3D printers.

Szkicuj, projektuj, wizualizuj - poznaj Blendera w praktyce! Poznaj podstawy środowiska Blender i najważniejsze narzędzia Naucz się modelować obiekty 3D oraz ustawiać kamery i światła Odkryj możliwości renderowania scen i wykorzystania materiałów Blender to zaawansowany program do modelowania 3D, renderowania, animacji i postprodukcji. Za jego sukcesem stoją potężne możliwości, prosta obsługa, duża częstotliwość aktualizacji oraz fakt, że jest dostępny... zupełnie za darmo, również do zastosowań komercyjnych. Z tej aplikacji korzystają zarówno hobbyści, jak i wielkie studia, a efekty, które można za jej pomocą uzyskać, nie odbiegają od tego, co da się osiągnąć przy użyciu płatnych - i zwykle bardzo drogich - rozwiązań oferowanych przez gigantów branży 3D. Jeśli zamierzasz wykorzystywać Blendera do projektowania architektonicznego, sięgnij po źródło wiedzy, które przybliży Ci obsługę środowiska, przedstawi sposoby modelowania obiektów, pokaże, jak korzystać z materiałów i tekstur, ustawiać kamery oraz oświetlać i renderować sceny, a także zaprezentuje podstawy tworzenia animacji. Dzięki tej książce poznasz możliwości programu w praktyce i zyskasz solidny fundament, dzięki któremu będziesz mógł rozwijać swoje umiejętności związane z projektowaniem przy użyciu Blendera. Instalacja i interfejs środowiska Modelowanie obiektów i modyfikatory Definiowanie i ustawianie kamer Oświetlanie i renderowanie scen Stosowanie materiałów i tekstur Podstawy animacji Opis wtyczek (add-ons) do zastosowań architektonicznych Renderowanie za pomocą Blender Internal, Cycles i Freestyle Z tą książką nauka Blendera to czysta przyjemność!

Blender provides a broad spectrum of modeling, texturing, lighting, animation and video post-processing functionality in one package. It provides cross-platform interoperability, extensibility and a tightly integrated workflow. Blender is one of the most popular Open Source 3D graphics applications in the world.Modern GPUs (Graphics Processing Unit) have some limitations for rendering complex scenes. This is mainly because of limited memory, and interactivity issues when the same graphics card is also used for displaying and rendering frames. This is where Cycles rendering engine comes into play. Cycles is bundled as an add-on with Blender. Some of the features of Cycles is its quality, speed and having integrated industry standard libraries.This book will show you how to carry out your first steps in Cycles - a brand new rendering engine for Blender. In a gradual and logical way, you will learn how to create complex shaders and lighting setups to face any kind of situation that you may find in Computer Graphics.This book provides information on how to setup your first application in Cycles. You will start by adding lights, materials, and textures to your scene. When it's time for the final render, you will see how to setup Cycles in the best way. You will learn about a wide variety of materials, lighting, techniques, tips, and tricks to get the best out of Cycles. Further on in the book, you will get to know about animation and still shots, and learn how to create advanced materials for realistic rendering, as well cartoon style shaders.This cookbook contains a wide range of different scenes, proposed in a structured and progressive order. During this journey, you will get involved in the concepts behind every step you take in order to really master what you learn.

Blender for Beginners Part 1 is your hands-on visual introduction to Blender, brought to you by the educators at 3D Tudor, who’ve helped over 250,000 students worldwide master 3D design. Starting Blender can feel daunting, but this first part makes it approachable. You’ll develop smart habits and clean workflows to keep projects organized. From setting up a readable interface and clean navigation to mastering reliable modeling tools that create shading-friendly results, every lesson builds your foundation as a confident 3D artist.Through easy-to-follow exercises, you’ll learn how to install Blender, navigate key menus and viewport modes, and use essential tools like Extrude, Bevel, and Loop Cut. You’ll build small assets and understand why seams, sharps, normals, and pivots matter for clean surfaces and predictable shading. Neil adds a touch of British humor that will keep you engaged throughout, even as you unwrap UVs using seams and projections, measure texel density, and explore trim sheets and UDIM basics. With principled PBR materials and Node Wrangler shortcuts, you’ll progress from flat clay to believable surfaces. Everything is taught step by step, with keystroke callouts and definitions.By the end of this part, your models will look great under lighting, your topology will behave, and your files will be ready for 3D animation—setting you up for Geometry Nodes, rendering, and compositing in Part 2.*Email sign-up and proof of purchase required

One of the critical components of any workflow related to video production is a reliable tool to create and edit media such as video and audio. In most cases, you will find video producers using software that can only cut and mount video in a traditional way. What if you could use a software that offers not only options to edit and cut video, but also create 3D content and animation? With Blender, you can make use of a fantastic set of tools to edit and cut video, and also produce 3D content that will enable you to take your productions to the next level.Do you want to take footage from a camera and cut or add sound and titles? This book will show you how Blender can do that for you! You will learn to add 3D virtual objects to the same footage that will help you to create a full 3D environment. Using some camera tricks, you can even turn Blender into a powerful 2.5D animation software to create compelling infographics to produce educational, marketing, and instructional videos. You will also learn how to work with motion tracking to mix live-action footage with virtual objects. You will then learn how to use the video editing capabilities of Blender and match 3D content to your project for YouTube or any other media.Toward the end of the book, you will export the project to YouTube using optimal settings for the best performance in the platform.
