Ecco un elenco di risorse dedicate a Blender, alla grafica computerizzata e all’animazione 3D. Partendo dal materiale in mio possesso, ho ampliato la raccolta includendo altre risorse di potenziale interesse. Anche se non è un elenco completo, confido che possa essere utile ai membri della nostra comunità.

Ove possibile, ho inserito tra parentesi quadre la versione di Blender utilizzata nel libro/corso.
