New Blender Books

(Don't forget checking the 50% off sale that we have for Black Friday during this weekend: Pose sets, books and scripts for designers.)

This weekend we have seven new Blender books, all of them released for Sixty Linden Weekends.

The Blender Basics series is closed now with the two final chapters of the UV Mapping and Texturing Basics section.

Then we have a very necessary series about creating the LOD models for SL. Whether you're new to creating mesh or an experienced creator, you'll find here tips, tricks and the foundation to creating quality models that will not collapse to a triangle as soon as our camera is two meters away.

And since the Basics series is closed, we can continue our way through the land of modifiers, which will start making our life easier.

New Blender book: UV Mapping Intermediate 1 (of 5)

When writing the basics series, the UV Mapping series was proven to be the most complex. After a successful class experience, I've written a whole new series that develops the topic even in more detail. More examples, more "why's", and more unwrapping methods are explained. This series is a must. The first book is released now to L$60 during the weekend.

Also, we talk here about moving to Blender 2.71. Check that link out for the most important changes in the interface :-)

New Blender book: UV Mapping examples

UV Mapping is a very important stage of our creating process. This series will cover a few examples to show how to arrange our model's faces on the UV map, giving out tips and "why's", completing the UV Mapping unit. The first book is now out at Black Tulip's booth at Creators Market, 50% off its price until Monday. Monday, the book will hit the main store at full price.
