About the Author

Aaron Powell developed a passion for computer graphics early in his high school

career. Developing "stick igure animations" using the primitive drawing tools

of Microsoft PowerPoint, he quickly discovered he wanted to learn about other

ways of using animation, always looking to broaden his scope. Tired of crashing

PowerPoint, he soon stumbled upon the open source animation program Blender,

and immediately got involved with the community that surrounded it. Since then,

Aaron has worked as a freelance artist and tutor, focusing on lighting and rendering

techniques in both Blender and Autodesk Maya.

He now attends the Rochester Institute of Technology, pursuing a degree in 3D

Digital Graphics, meanwhile giving back to the Blender community through his

efforts at CGShark.com . CGShark is an online blog that provides interesting news

not only about Blender, but also about the computer graphics industry at large,

including movie and book reviews, artist interviews, and other interesting "tid-bits"

of information about computer graphics. The blog also proudly hosts Roland Hess's

book, "The Essential Blender" as a free PDF download, which brings readers from

beginner to computer graphics novice with Blender.

This book is dedicated to my parents, Darryl and Holly, who have

graciously supported me throughout this entire process, and to my

professors at the Rochester Institute of Technology who dared to

push me beyond what I thought I could do.
