Following the reference chapters are a range of simple to intermediate practical exercises explained in detail and illustrated with step by step images as the models progress. The intention of the book is to take a new or intermediate user and give them a reference that explains what Blenders tools do. The book Modelling Methods Principles and Practice using Blender 2.80 provides both a reference to the use of many of Blenders modelling tools and practical exercises demonstrating the use of the tools. This new book was initially started in 2012 for Blender 2.6x series but due to other work commitments never got past setting up the initial structure of the book. The tutorials and Precision Modelling Guide was extremely well received by the blender community and over the years since its publication, the guide has been downloaded many hundreds of thousands if not millions of times.

This was based on Principles carried over from his 2D and 3D CAD design experience. The Guide detailed how to use Blenders 3D engine to produce dimensionally accurate models. In 2007 he released a series of structured tutorials culminating in the 150 page PDF book “Blender Precision Modelling Guide”.

Having used Blender for around 17 years Robert has amassed a great deal of experience creating illustrations, product visualisations and training animations.
