John M. Blain has become a recognised expert in Blender having seven successful prior editions of this book 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，迄今已出版了七個成功的版本。John在退休後對Blender產生了熱情，之前從事機械工程的職業生涯。《Blender圖形完全指南》源於自學過程中編寫的個人筆記。這些筆記被塔夫茨大學（Tufts University）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，在編寫新版本的書籍時給予持續的鼓勵和耐心。
