Discover the 3D-modeling and animation power of Blender 3D. This book starts with a brief introduction to Blender 3D including installation and the user interface. The following two chapters then introduce you to the upgraded tools in Blender 2.80 for 3D modeling, texturing, shading, and animation. The last chapter discusses the Blender game engine and all its core features. Along the way you'll see why Blender 3D has proved its competency in UV unwrapping, texturing, raster graphic editing, rigging, sculpting, animating, motion graphics, and video editing through the years. Modeling and Animation Using Blender gives a thorough tour of Blender Eevee, covering its new features and how to make best use of them. After reading this book you will have the confidence to choose Blender for your next project. What You Will Learn

Blender 3D professionals who want to learn about the latest version would find the book useful. 


Ezra Thess Mendoza Guevarra graduated with a bachelor of science degree in information technology from STI College, the Philippines. Though she's become a web developer, her passion for the arts that started in her childhood never went away. In 2016, she got interested in 3D modeling and even tried to create a game with a team. 
She also loves researching and because of this hobby, she created the website didyouknow45 on WordPress for her to be able to share the knowledge she gained through her research. She also served as a government employee the Philippines.
Despite being epileptic, she continues to pursue her dreams and 'break the walls'. A researcher and a passionate artist, Ezra is currently using her skills as a freelancer.
