Acknowledgments

I have the opportunity to write a personal message, so I would like to thank some people.

Especially I want to thank my mother and the rest of my family for always being on my side and giving me support. They taught me valuable lessons that will remain part of me for the rest of my life.

I want to thank as well my closest friends for their support throughout my career.

Thanks to Jesse Moons for helping me with this book. He allowed me to use his acting skills to create the example for this book.

I want to mention as well the Blender Community for making this such a special experience. Blender is not only a software but a different way of thinking in many ways. Our community is very special, in particular Los Angeles Blender Group for all their support. Thanks, JT Nelson, not only for your help with my book but also for your great effort in making our community bigger and stronger.

Finally I want to thank you for choosing this book. Blender is getting better and better every day and new opportunities are becoming available to Blender users. More and more interesting projects of all kinds are choosing Blender in their pipeline, and that is one of the reasons I decided to write this book—to help people get involved with Blender in a professional way and to promote this fantastic program.

Thanks.
