Blender Intro - Part 5 - UvUnwrap

This time im going to apply textures in objects.

For this, i must talk about two different Blender Modes: Object Mode and Edit Mode.

We can use the TAB key to change from one to another.

Or by the following menu:

When we open Blender, we get in OBJECT mode, where we can: rotate, scale and move objets.

When we change into EDIT mode we gain acces to a new set of options:

Some of them are, the selection of faces, lines and vértices of the selected objects:

But, for now i only want to show you a new option in the following menu :

This option, MESH, only appears in this mode and allow us, between other stuff, to, apply textures in objects through the UVunwrap.

NOTE1: Repeat this in your Blender session:

EDIT MODE - Unwrap: Mesh>UVunwrap>Unwrap)

The window we are always using is the 3Dview:

When we use it, we get a small cube in its bottom left corner.

But, to apply textures we need another one, the UVview:

Here we get a all new set of options.

For now, just open any image you have in your pc:

Now, change back into 3Dview to see the result!

NOTE2: You also need to change to texturized objetcs:

Try it, practice makes perfection!
