After Effects Apprentice is aimed at those who want to get up to speed quickly. This 336-page full-color book contains a series of 12 lessons with numerous step-by-step exercises that will introduce you to the core features in After Effects, including how to use them in the real world. You’ll learn how to tap this program’s vast potential – whether you want to create motion graphics for network television, corporate communications, or your own work.

The author of the lesson will guide you through the stages of modeling, texturing, and setting light to create scenes of an abandoned warehouse. You will learn how to create a realistic environment using a new version of Blender 2.5. The lesson is very intense and is not intended for those who have just begun to deal with Blender.
