I’m looking for quality and up-to-date references (at least close to the current release :)) to learn Blender and Inkscape. Hardcover books, online books, tutorials, etc. I like resources that contain real-world exercises that you can immediately apply. I stay away from hardcover books that contain chapters on “installing” or “history”. Substance not fluff
Have you found any resources you really found helpful? What are they?
For Gimp, I used:
-
Online: The Gimp Documentation
-
Hardcover Book: The Artist’s Guide to GIMP Effects (Note: I believe the author is coming out with a new edition to coincide with Gimp 2.8 which I think is coming out at the end of this year. “Beginning GIMP: From Novice to Professional” is also a good book, but it was too much Novice and not enough Professional :-)).
-
Tutorials (video): Meet the Gimp
Now I’m looking for Blender and Inkscape educational material.
Thank you.
