#Learn blender 3d how to#
How to use the key board and the mouse buttons to aid with operating the program. This video shows how to split modelling windows for multiple views. You will also begin to get an idea of the layout of the program before trying to model something.īefore you make a start it is useful to know your way around the Blender 3D modelling work space.

Once this is save each time you open Blender it will be customised to how you like it. This second videos shows how to set up a start up file so the workspace suits your preferences.
#Learn blender 3d 32 bit#
With Windows, Control Panel -> Systems and Security -> System will tell you whether your system type is 32 bit or 64 bit.

Blender runs with a computer language called Python and if Python is not already on your computer this will also take a bit longer to download. This video has been edited so your download will take longer. I use windows operating system so for other systems the download could be a bit different. The series is aimed at those who might not be that confidant with computer software but want to gain knowledge of digital 3D modelling. This is the first in a series of videos that offers a basic introduction to using Blender, an open source 3D modelling software. I am very much of the open source ethos so look no further than Blender. A program that will offer different types of modelling techniques such as mesh sculpting for organic forms or hard edge geometric modelling for engineering shapes. A program that can import different file types for further editing or remodelling. A program that will need some time spent on it to learn but will be the unifying element to all the different digital ways you might end up working. My answer to this is to have a favourite tool.

Ultimately I would suggest it is a too complex subject to distil into that single killer app and that you will find you will use a whole number of different 3D software tools. The race is on to develop a simple and intuitive 3D modelling software to keep up with the surge of interest in 3D printing. Touch screen tablet computers are offering a very interesting ways of digital 3D modelling and I keep a close eye on the AUTODESK 123D family of apps. The software is just a tool and what is important is what you do with it and how you use it. I always place great emphasis on ‘ways of work’ rather than the ‘means’ of working. If everybody was to use the same creation software there is the risk that the work would all start to look rather similar. I am often asked ‘what is that killer’ app – people want to know what software to use for 3D modelling.
