4.0 out of 5 stars Great but not for newbies!, 12 Sep 2009

By	D. Lennard (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book will take your Blender skills to the next level but be warned - you do need to be at least intermediate level to tackle it.

The step-by-step tutorials have a nasty tendency to miss the odd important step, meaning your end results don't match the book's photographs so it's a bit dispiriting at times. Pre-existing skills should allow you to work out the omissions though and many (though frustratingly not all) of the tutorials have a blender file on the accompanying disc.

Also if you're working through the book with a more recent version of Blender than 2.46 you'll find that config options aren't where the book shows and you'll have to hunt around for them.
