Blender Intro - Part 2

Hi again,

This is the second part of the Blender Intro.

My last post ended with an exercise related with object movement throught the 3D scene using the G key ("grab")
__________

First i will go throught some important aspects from the last post:

The Blender initial 3D scene appears with 3 objects:
The Cam, the Lamp and the Cube;

Right Mouse Button - Object Sellection;

Orange Border - Sellected Object(s);

Red, Blue and Green Arrows - X, Y and Z axis;

Left Mouse Button - Drag and Move Objects throught the scene;

G key - Grab the Sellected Object(s);

G-X, G-Y e G-Z key combinations - Grab and Move Objects throught the desired Axis.

In this small resume we can see that Blender use and abuse of keyboard combinations, get use to it, it gets worse! hehe

;-)

In this post, i will try to explain new features in Blender:

R - Rotate objects;

R-X, R-Y e R-Z - Rotate objects throught a desired axis.

Another important button is the Mouse Wheel, when clicked allows:

-Zoom-in and Zoom-out in the 3D scene;

-When pressed+ Mouse movement allow us to change the prespective we see the 3D scene:

Try playing around a bit with this.
