Blender 2D Animation
Taylor & Francis Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-032-11032-5 (ISBN)
This book describes how to access the Grease Pencil component in Blender and create 2D Animation within the Blender 3D environment. It is assumed that the reader has no previous knowledge of the Blender program and treats 2D Animation using the Grease Pencil as a standalone application.
Grease Pencil is a component of the 3D modeling and animation program, Blender. Blender is a free open-source 3D Computer Graphics software toolset used for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D printed models, motion graphics, interactive 3D applications, virtual reality and computer games.
Key Features:
The first comprehensive beginner's guide to the Grease Pencil component of Blender
Facets of operation are explained in short concise chapters with cross references
Written instruction is accompanied by diagram illustrations in reference to the program's Graphical User Interface
The book is also available in a discounted set along with The Complete Guide to Blender Graphics: Computer Modeling & Animation.
John M. Blain has become a recognised expert in Blender having six successful prior editions of The Complete Guide to Blender Graphics to date. John became enthused with Blender on retirement from a career in Mechanical Engineering. The Complete Guide to Blender Graphics originated from personal notes compiled in the course of self learning. The notes were recognised as an ideal instruction source by Neal Hirsig, Senior Lecturer (Retired) at Tufts University. Neal encouraged publication of the First Edition and in doing so is deserving of the author's gratitude. Gratitude must also be extended to the author's wife Helen for her continuing encouragement and patience as new editions of the book are compiled.
