Poland has a large and active Blender community, and now Kamil Kuklo and Jarosław Kolmaga have written the first Polish Blender book. It is now available for ordering.

Finally my book “Blender. Kompendium” is out. I wrote it with JarosÅ‚aw “Galileus” Kolmaga and I have the honour to say that it’s the first Blender manual fully written by polish authors.
It has nearly 900 pages, where the reader can find information about EVERYTHING that Blender provides – System Nodes, UV texturing, all the options from all the modes (Edit, Object, Texture Paint etc) and many others. Needless to say that you can find there all the information about animating in Blender or physics simulation (Soft Bodies, Particles and Fluid) with a proper exercises and exapmles (in .blend files, of course).
We wanted to write a book for both – people, who make their first steps in 3d graphic and those who are already using Blender. I suppose there’s no better book nowadays in Poland… Because the date of it’s publishing has been delayed a few times, it concerns Blender 2.43, but still it’s absolutely current (99.9% of the options remained). Because our book includes dozens of artworks made by one of the best polish graphic artists, we would like to thank them with a help of your site. It’s been a great honour for us to cooperate with (random order):
- Adam “Nostradamus” Wnek
- Grzegorz “Grzybu” Rakoczy
- “JoAnna” Sochacka
- Maciej “Morte” Halber
- Patryk “Pysiek” Poturalski
- Hubert “szczuro” Niećko
- Kamil “Maqs” Makowski
- Jakub Strykowski
- Krzysiek Ślaziński
- Krzysztof “Gucias” Nowacki
- Marcin “Kyuss” Piotrowski
- Marek “Mrys” RyÅ›
- Mariusz “Grabon” Klepaczko
- MichaÅ‚ “Kwiq” KiciÅ„ski
- Piotr “mecool” Mikulski
- Tomasz “ETA” Szymski
I would also like to thank:
- Ton Roosendaal (for his foreword – it has been a great honour!)
- Mathias Pedersen (for lettin’ us using images from his tutorial)
- Calvin (for the inspiration)
- Bernard Popko (for his patience)
- Sylwia Sołtysik (for her help in translation)
