BlenderCourse Basics - v2.0.1 prerelease (Blender 2.50)
Course description
This is the prelease of the new BlenderCourse Basics version 2. BlenderCourse Basics version 1 has been written in 2006 and is based on Blender 2.48a which nowadays is an old version of Blender. The most current version of Blender 3D features a complete GUI overhaul. This means all screenshots need to be replaced with the screens of the current Blender 3D version. This process is very time consuming. Therefore I release the chapters one by one.
BlenderCourse - Basics teaches you how to work with Blender 3D. This course is suitable for everyone who can use a computer. You are being guided through every step in the course exercises. The large amount of screenshots, ensures you do every step correct. Beside the e-books in PDF format, BlenderCourse also offers you all the source files, which allows you to check how to fulfil the exercises when you are struck during a chapter.
At the end of each chapter a so called "challenge" is given. The challenge is just a final rendering created in Blender. The challenge for the reader is to replicate the result with the techniques learnt in te chapter. When you are struck BlenderCourse also provides the .blend file for the challenge so you can figure out how to create the challenge.
