About the Author
got his start in 3D computer modeling back when one would have to create a 3D
engineering drawing with a pencil and then input the information into a computer,
vertex-by-vertex.
He led a three-person crew in building 3D models of 80 aircraft for the U.S. Army
Visual Aircraft Recognition program. He also built an accurate model of the 17th and
18th holes of the Pebble Beach golf course for Callaway Golf's golf simulator. He's
currently working with the Open Luna Foundation to create models, X3D and 3D
printed, of their parts of their proposed lunar base.
He is the Creative Director at Point Happy Interactive. He has been using Blender
professionally since 2002 and has given classes on using Blender and using Python
with Blender at Python conferences in Texas and Arkansas. His work has been
displayed at the National Air and Space Museum. He is also the author of the book
Blender 3D Basics,
published by Packt Publishing.
I would like to thank all the people who helped me write this
book, especially Subho Gupta, the Commissioning Editor, and
Amey Sawant, the Project Coordinator. I'd also like to thank Bart
Veldhuisen of Blender Nation and Shapeways and Gary Fudge of
mCor Technologies for taking the time to answer all my questions,
and all the people who have devoted so many hours to developing
better and less expensive 3D printers.
