Experience the entire 3D modeling process in one book!

When you first launch any software, you're presented with a confusing array of menus and tools.
There are only a few features that are actually used, but if you don't know how something is used, you can't help but feel intimidated and give up on learning.


But what if you could learn the essential and frequently used menus and tools in just one book, then gain hands-on experience with 3D modeling? And what if you could also experience motion creation, arguably the most challenging part of 3D modeling, made easy even for beginners using AI? That's exactly what "Design Changes the World: Blender 3D" is all about.
With this book, you'll be inspired to explore 3D modeling and even create your own! This book is designed for beginners who are interested in 3D modeling but want to learn Blender without any prior knowledge.
