To my friends in SeaBUG: The Seattle Blender User Group. Thank you all for helping me grow as a 3D artist. Because of you, I've learned so much and had a chance to share my passion. I'm excited to finally send this book out into the world where I hope it will inspire others as much as this group has inspired me!
