We use blender for 3d classes at my highschool and we found it really easy to pick it up and have fun creating models. Lots of my friends are experimenting in animation and games with it.

For years, every six months or so I would download Blender, try to use it, then get discouraged and delete it.

Your lessons were the first thing that helped me get a feel for Blender, and now it's my number 1 piece of 3D software. Thanks!

UPDATE: Manual has had some minor changes to reflect version 2.42a (especially with the materials panels)

Enjoy!

So true JimC!!!!!
Still as long as the Blender basics remain the same your manual will continue to be a great asset. The new stuff can still be added one bit at a time. The important thing is that the manual IS still usable for newbies, so any advanced topics they can research on their own or experiment with the software AND write their own tutorials/manuals and share them, after all that is the true purpose of sharing experience to enlighten others.

After all, this isn't a one man/woman show, so there is plenty for everyone to add, improve or as in your case explain.

Again, thanks a bunch!!!

Thanks apereira ;-)

I've already been thinking about the upcoming changes in 2.42 (like the possible improvements to the sequence editor). It's nice to see major changes in the software so fast, but bad when you have to keep updating manuals :-(

Nice resource!!!!
especialy for a noob like me!!!!
But since the new version (2.42)is comming with some big changes maybe the manual will have to be updated, but as a teaching resource is awsome!!!!

Keep it up!
