German Book: Materialgestaltung mit Blender

11

Materialgestaltung mit Blender or "Materials design with Blender"  is a brand new German book on Blender materials, it was written by Thomas Hintz and Immanuel Günther.

Thomas Hintz wrote:

Creating authentic surfaces is one of the most challenging issues of digital 3D-Art. Water, metal, wood and skin are only a small selection of materials an artist needs for his realistic or imaginary worlds. This is reason enough to dedicate a whole book to this essential topic.

With their practical experience, artistic skills and a convincing didactical conception the authors developed numerous impressive examples. By looking over their shoulder you gain a good insight in the creative work process with the computer, from conscious perception of the environment to realization of optical effects like transparency and reflection with the application functions and furthermore to the creativity beyond the software. This book is a real treasure for 3D-Artists.

This book approaches to Users who already have a basic knowledge of Blender. You should be experienced with the Interface and simple tasks of Modelling, Lighting and Rendering, as the focus is on nothing but the material system. Instead of general informations about all the context subjects of the material system such as UV-Mapping and particel, this book centers on the very subject of creating materials.

  1. This book looks really good. German is not my native language but I do read enough to get through this book. However, I find it strange that there is not an english translation of the book, since english has become the lingua franca of the interwebs. This goes out to all you Spanish and Portuguese tutorial makers as well, I don't speak your language ;)

  2. Ta książka wygląda naprawdę dobrze. Niemiecki nie jest moim językiem ojczystym jest język, ale nie czytam tyle, aby za pośrednictwem tej książki. Jednak uważam, że to dziwne, że nie ma angielskie tłumaczenie książki, ponieważ angielski stał się lingua franca interwebs. To wychodzi na wszystko, co hiszpańskie i portugalskie tutorial twórców, jak również, nie znam język;)

  3. Zajęło mi trochę pracy detektywa, aby dowiedzieć się, że jest to najprawdopodobniej przeciwko Blender 2.5.

  4. "Copyright “Open Source Press”
    This is a Vernichtung aller Werten."
    - filip

    So true ;)

    Nice book btw., but a bit too expensive in my opinion, especially for an "open source" book, tehehehe.

  5. "Prawa autorskie" Open Source Press "To vernichtung aller Werten". - Filip Więc prawda;) Nice btw książkę, ale nieco zbyt drogie moim zdaniem, szczególnie dla "open source" książki, tehehehe..

  6. Considering that my german is limited to "ja" and "hände hoch" it wouldnt be an easy task to go through that book. Looks really usefull and solid but very limited group of people can really enjoy it. Good luck on getting english version to print.

  7. Biorąc pod uwagę, że mój niemiecki jest ograniczony do "ja" i "Hände hoch" nie byłby to łatwe zadanie, aby przejść przez tę książkę. Wygląda naprawdę praktyczne i trwałe, ale bardzo ograniczona grupa ludzi, może naprawdę cieszyć. Powodzenia na uzyskanie angielskiej wersji do druku.

  8. @all:
    Thanks. We will keep you informed about a possible English version

    @filip:
    Open Source Press is a Publisher for books about open source applications, especially for programming languages. This is why they call it "Open Source Press". This is not "Vernichtung aller Werte". ;-)

  9. @ All: Dzięki. Będziemy Was informować o ewentualnym wersja angielska @ filip: Open Source Press jest wydawcą książek o aplikacje open source, zwłaszcza dla języków programowania. Dlatego nazywają go "Open Source Press". To nie jest "vernichtung aller Werte". ;-)

  10. It's a great book, i bought it last week and it's full of detailed information.
    Very well written and easy to understand. Now I know better what some of the cryptic settings in the material editor mean :D
    Thanks guys!

  11. To świetna książka, kupiłem go w zeszłym tygodniu i pełne szczegółowych informacji. Bardzo dobrze napisany i łatwy do zrozumienia. Teraz wiem lepiej, co niektóre tajemnicze ustawienia w edytorze materiałów myśli: D Dzięki chłopaki!
