<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Hello All,
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">A list has been created on the
Official
Blender wiki (wiki.blender.org), of some Open/Free Publications
(books/magazines), that are freely accessible on the Internet and
that we think could be of use in an academic/school/self teaching
setting, because they are very clear and complete publications.
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Obviously there will be publications
that we are unaware of and would welcome your help in improving
the
contents of this list with other publications that you know of. We
are only interested in Free/Open content, commercial/encumbered
content is not needed.
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">So with that in mind if you do
create/find good content please mail this list or you can update
the
wiki directly the links are:
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.5/Books">http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.5/Books</a>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Which is the wiki link for all
content
relating to 2.5x+ versions of Blender
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">and
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.4/Books">http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.4/Books</a>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Which is the link for all content
relating to Blender versions earlier than 2.5x
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">If you are not sure as to weather a
particular publication can be considered an Open/Free publication
then please post here and we will check. This is mentioned because
a
search of the web will often bring up sites which say things are
open/free when they are not (piracy of books on Blender is fairly
frequent).
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Hopefully if this list can be
improved
it will become useful for educators as a good starting point for
students and teachers to learn and teach from.</p>
