This book aims to guide using 3D modeling techniques, texturing, and assigning material by using healthcare as the core application for demonstration.

Blender is a free and open-source digital content creation (DCC) tool that provides the freedom to users of different backgrounds to get started quickly. The demonstrating of healthcare application enables related expertise to be equipped with modeling and rendering techniques through understanding background knowledge in character modeling, dressing and animation in healthcare application.

“Yuk Ming Tang, Ho Lun Ho, Ka Yin Chau, and Yan Wan’s A Beginner’s Guide to Virtual Reality (VR) Modeling in Healthcare Applications with Blender introduces a free and open-source technology that enables the building out of some sophisticated three-dimensional visuals that can be used in games, films, immersive virtual worlds, visual effects, animations, and other applications. The z-axis, the third dimension, and animation, the fourth dimension, help bring digital experiences (virtual and augmented) into the perception of real space…Read more at >>>” – Shalin Hai-Jew, Instructional Designer/Researcher, Kansas State University.
