You can also switch to viewing a particular object by first selecting the object, then hitting the “.” (period) key on the number pad. On an ordinary trackpad, simulate middle mouse button with “Alt” to zoom.On a multitouch trackpad, use two finger “pinch and zoom” to zoom in and out.For a “smoother” zoom, use “Control” + middle mouse button.With a mouse, use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out.On an ordinary trackpad, “Shift + Alt” (Emulate 3 button mouse) + one finger on the trackpad to move.On a multitouch trackpad, “Shift” + two fingers on the trackpad to move.Hold down “Shift” + middle mouse button on your mouse.Use the orbit tool in the upper left-hand corner of the 3D viewport:.On a multitouch trackpad (like the one on a MacBook), use two fingers to orbit.

With a 2-button mouse or standard laptop trackpad, turn on “Emulate 3-button Mouse” from the settings, then hold down “Alt” while moving the mouse or touching the trackpad:Ī note for Mac users: You might want to use the “Command” key (“OS Key”) instead of “Alt”.When using a 3-button mouse, orbit by clicking and holding the middle mouse button while moving the mouse.There are four ways to orbit (move around a point in the 3D viewport): “X”, “Y”, or “Z” to choose an axis to scale along.Global by default (scales equally in all directions).“X”, “Y”, or “Z” to choose axis of rotation.Left click or enter to commit to the move.“X”, “Y”, and “Z” to snap to an axis and move along it.This file is the result of my work after following along with the steps in the YouTube video.

I’ll be making additional notes for each of the videos in the series! I'm currently creating lot of donuts, and will post my progress here.Just some notes I made while following along with this now-famous blender donut tutorial. The playlist is really fun to follow, Andrew is a fantastic teacher.

Blender as a software was already overwhelming because of its strange and complicated interface and concepts, and the learning material was making it worse.Īnyway, this week when Youtube's algorithm decided I should care about Blender, I quickly found out that a lot of high quality learning material is now available for free and if very high resolution! I decided to go with Blender Guru's playlist 'Blender Beginner Tutorial Series'. I can still remember how confusing video tutorials (or written tutorials) where at the time, with terrible audio, low resolution, and in general instructions that were confusing and difficult to follow.

At the time seeing what they were doing piqued my interest and I tried to learn how to use Blender as a past time activity, though I never got to the point of creating something interesting. I've first learned about Blender more than 10 years ago from friends who were quite serious at making 3D content.

That was enough to convince me to look for Blender tutorals as I was failing to get any good results by my own. Hendy's progress as seen in the video is very impressive to say the least, and the scene he created and showcase at the end talks to me. Such as this really cool progress report from Hendy August: I had decided to do a simple logo in 3D using Blender for a side project, and somehow the suggestion algorithm picked that fact and decided to list videos of people documenting their progress creatin 3D content. A few days ago Youtube's algorithm had a small surprise for me.
