Preface

Blender is a massively popular and powerful 3D program with a variety of versatile modeling abilities, which makes it a great way to enter the 3D modeling world.

Blender 3D Incredible Models is a comprehensive guide for those who are new to hard-surface modeling with Blender, helping you understand all the various tools and features on offer, and how to efficiently employ them to create realistic models. You’ll be led through progressively more challenging modeling projects where you’ll develop assault rifle, army tank, and sci-fi spaceship models and pick up all the skills you could need in Blender’s vast ecosystem of features and functionality, ranging from procedural texturing, texture painting, and UV mapping to lighting, rendering, rigging, and beyond. Each engaging project builds upon the last until you’re equipped with everything you need to tackle your own modeling challenges, whatever they may be.

By the end of this book, you won’t just know how to create the models we guide you through, but you will be able to turn your own concepts and references into 3D Blender models too!
