"I chose each of these projects to provide a unique set of challenges," says Simonds. "And I use them to help explain how readers can use GIMP and Blender in their own projects. While readers can certainly use the book as a step-by-step tutorial, my real goal is to inspire them to make their own creative choices and make the most out of Blender for their own artwork."

Work with reference and concept art in Blender and GIMP to make starting projects easier
Create models, from blocking out basic forms to creating complex meshes
Sculpt both organic and hard-surface models
Create hair and fur with Blender's particle systems
