About the Reviewer

Fernando Castilhos Melo lives in Toronto, Canada, and works as a software developer. Since 2009, he has worked on 3D modeling using Blender. He has given some lectures about Blender and 3D modeling at several Brazilian free/open source software events. Fernando holds a degree in computer science from UCS (University of Caxias do Sul). This is the third Blender book he has worked on. The other ones were Blender Cycles: Lighting and Rendering Cookbook in 2013 and Blender 3D by Example in 2015. He developed an integration between Blender and Kinect named "Kinected Blender" to generate a 3D animation. This project is currently in alpha version.

I want to thank my wife, Mauren, my parents, Eloir and Miriam, and all my friends for their support during the review of this book.
