Thank you very much for this. It saves me trying to distill information from several books and creating lessons. You serve the community well.

Hi Lancer

Glad to hear the book’s been helpful.

Elefont’s been in there since the 1st release when the Blender text wasn’t that good. I thought about taking it out since Blender’s text commands are great, but Elefont can give a few more effects… so I decided to keep it in there.. for now. (also, I felt a bit lazy about removing it ;-)

This is awesome – thanks again for another release!

This is Jim’s own classroom resource, offered for anyone else wanting to teach blender in their own classes. Pure and simple.

I made multiple copies (a class set) of an earlier version and have found things so well explained that it has been a useful reference for when I’ve been a bit rusty in areas.

…thanks a heap for this amazing effort!

P.S. I’m not sure why you’d want to use the “elefont” program in chapter 10… perhaps it’s “come a long way” since you looked at it, though I think Blender’s own text tool is just as good.

Thanks man! Without the second addition I don’t think I would’ve survived learning Blender! And now a third addition? Whoa!! Thanks soo much!
