Hey Harkyman,
I’ve just started learning Blender a few weeks ago, with your great book Essential Blender. That book seems to be a good start for a noob like me. The difficult program Blender is very clear explaind by your instructions. I’ve tried to learn Blender before with other documentation, but it didn’t work well for me.
You are the best. ( I’m doing a wave right now …. )
You have the knowledge of an old wizard, but you still look 21 !
My first language is dutch, so I hope this is readable englisch.
Kind regards, Marc

Hi Roland,

I’m new to Blender. I love this program and think it is very generous of the developers to provide it free of charge.
I recently purchased your book “The Essential Blender”. It is a wealth of wonderful info! I am, however, having a problem. I can’t find certain tabs and controls that you refer to in your book. I have version 249.2.

Example:pgs 294 and 295 (Particles). I can’t find the “Particles Panel”. Is it called something else now vs. the time of publication of your book?

Also, I can not find a “Deflection”panel. In the illustration on page 294 it reads “Field and Deflection”. Is Deflection now referred to as “Collision”?

I’m spending a tremendous amount of time learning this awesome program but find myself spending equally large time blocks looking for panels that may or may not be there or referred to by some other name than a previous version.

Any wisdom you care to impart, I would be MOST appreciative!

Thank you for your consideration and fine book!

Kip Ross

Hi, I saw your example in this post: http://www.blender.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6541
How did you manage to apply softbodies/wind to a skeleton rig ?

I’m searching like crazy over may forums and didn’t find anything.

Thank you !
