Blender is an open-source 3D modeling and rendering software package used in the production of assets for animated projects, 3D printing, games, and even scientific visualization. This book goes in depth and discusses the primary modules related to the GUI and the geometric modeling work. You''ll start by learning how to reverse engineer geometric operators, and from there move on to the main features of the source code and how to apply them. When done, you''ll have the necessary foundation for exploration in other modules of the Blender source code.
Lack of software engineering knowledge, such as experience with large cross-platform code base, remains insurmountable for m
