This FAQ is kept printer-friendly as far as possible (works fine with LaserJets).If you consider to work seriously with Blender, the Blender manual is highly recommended. You can purchase it in the Blender Shop. If you have a question that you think was answered before, _please_ search the news server for it :o).
