Hi Charles!<BR>
<BR>
I started messing with Blender3D back in '05 and bought the official book and found it useful. Price back then was about $45 and I found it helpful for GUI and project tutorials. I still have it if you're interested in checking it out... <BR>

<B>Subject</B>: [ale] Recommendations for basic blender tutorial?<BR>

<PRE>
So I had my first encounter with Blender ( <A HREF="http://www.blender.org/">http://www.blender.org/</A> )
this weekend. I was very impressed. But it's clear that even learning
to hack some basic shapes in Blender is gonna take some guidance. I
poked around the web a little and found some video tutorials, but I
can't load them in another tab or hold them in my lap and refer to
them. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good basic Blender
book? There're 7 or 8 at bn.com, including a couple of incredibly
evil search composite books and a Dummies book. Anyone out there seen
something worthwhile? I'm primarily interested in making solid files
for 3d printing, rather than animation.
