Blender 2.0 Guide on Google Books
The Blender 2.0 Guide has long been sold out. However if you want to have a look at it, you can now turn to Google Books.
Oh, and don’t forget to turn to page 121 to see my Sequence Editor tutorial! :-)
PS: interesting trivia: [NSFW – not safe for work] while browsing Google Books for ‘blender 3d’ I also came across ‘Booby Trapped: Men Beware! the Dirty Seven Sisters‘ (ahem) which claims that its cover image has been created in Blender 2.26. I wonder if that’s true ;-)
Sweet :) But does anyone know when exactly the new blender guide will be available from the e-shop? I really like hard copies.
great!!!
Anyone who wants a copy, there is 1 more in stock here: http://www.nerdbooks.com/item.php?id=0761535136
This is where I bought my book years ago.
It’s an awesome book to have cuz even thought the info is outdated, the layout and format are very creative and awesome.
PS, I realized it’s like 10 bucks! WOW!
Umm, exactly what would they have used Blender for on that cover? Digital augmentation?
when is the next one coming out?
Ah, my first blender book and I thought it was great. Way ahead of it’s time.
wow is very interesting for mee i like
I have the 2.0 guide on the shelf beside the 2.3, and I’m not selling it for nuthin’!
WOW!!! Blender did that cover! Could that version even output stuf like that!
check out the cover, if that really is blender made it should go in the gallery.
On a further note does anyone really have news of the new guide, I want to buy that thing so freaken bad!
I’m guessing they used blender only for compositing on that cover :)
Nice for historic reasons, but other than that, what’s the use of having
this online?
@Goofster: nothing, just some nostalgia :)
Okay – so this is factually wrong. I only counted about 30 pages on that preview – and that is certainly not the MAJORITY of the book as the article says.
haha “Some pages are omitted” showing 20+ pages from the 240 page book and google claims not to “color” information.
Smart software coloring the blender name yellow on scanned pages… what is up with that?
But, I admit, nice to see my name frozen in history. Then again so is Sven Wouter. What did he do again? :(
Hmyeah, I thought I saw more pages yesterday. Yesterday I also noticed that the publisher in the lower right corner (who is supposed to have given permission for this to be published) seems to be alternating between ‘Thomson Course Technology’ and another name which I can’t reproduce now anymore..
The yellow highlighting is probably because they remembered the search query ‘blender 2.0 guide’.
Oh well, I enjoyed seeing (at least parts of) the guide there :)
>The yellow highlighting is probably because they remembered the search query ‘blender 2.0 guide’.
But I find that pretty cool if the image is a bitmap.
Sweet!
But is it the whole book?
Seems to me it’s old enough that it could be put under a GPL for books type thing…I know some Apress books like that.
A little off topic, but I thought you could download the Blender 2.3 guide as a PDF? What happened to that? I can’t find it anymore?
EDIT: Nevermind, found them both! Sweet!!
