About the Author
Jason van Gumster is an independent creative with a particular interest in open source tools. Very nearly everything that he produces — stories, animations, designs, videos, podcasts — are all made using free and open source tools, from applications all the way down to his choice of operating system. Jason has run an animation studio, written all previous editions of Blender For Dummies, co-authored GIMP Bible, and helped “fight bad guys with art” by designing anti-counterfeit technology for banknotes. Most recently, as Director of Special Projects and Marketing at Autotroph, Jason has been focused on expanding the use of Blender by artists, studios, and toolmakers.
He does all this while living and traveling full-time in an RV with his wife, two children, and two dogs.

To my family. I can’t wait to see the adventures ahead.
