About Me

I fell in love with Blender about 3 or 4 years ago (around v 2.43 I believe) when I was starting up my company, NewVision Animation Studios.  Since then I’ve been an active member of CGTalk and Blenderartists (blndr08) – I’ve always had a passion for teaching others about 3D.  Soon after I started this blog I ran across a thread on Blenderartists about Roland Hess’s “Essential Blender” book on PDF.  Most of the users were having trouble downloading the file from the server, so with Hess’s permission I downloaded it and moved it here, so it would be easier for people to get a hold of.

With Blender’s exploding development it’s hard to keep up with current documentation.  In anticipation of the upcoming Blender v2.5 release, I’m writing a book on lighting and rendering in 3D with a focus on Blender v2.5.  The expected release date is mid-summer 2010 – keep your eyes out!
