John M. Blain has become a recognised expert in Blender having six successful prior editions of The Complete Guide to Blender Graphics to date. John became enthused with Blender on retirement from a career in Mechanical Engineering. The Complete Guide to Blender Graphics originated from personal notes compiled in the course of self learning. The notes were recognised as an ideal instruction source by Neal Hirsig, Senior Lecturer (Retired) at Tufts University. Neal encouraged publication of the First Edition and in doing so is deserving of the author's gratitude. Gratitude must also be extended to the author's wife Helen for her continuing encouragement and patience as new editions of the book are compiled.

John M. Blain已成為Blender的知名專家，迄今已出版了六個成功的《Blender圖形完全指南》前作。John在退休後對Blender產生了激情，之前他從事機械工程的職業。《Blender圖形完全指南》源於他在自學過程中編寫的個人筆記。這些筆記被Tufts大學的高級講師Neal Hirsig認為是理想的教學資源。Neal鼓勵出版第一版，因此值得作者的感激之情。同樣要感謝作者的妻子Helen，在編寫新版書籍時給予的持續鼓勵和耐心。
