Blender 2.7 Tutorial #1 : Navigating in 3D & The Basics
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- In this Video Tutorial I cover how to:
1) Navigate (zoom/orbit/pan) in a 3D environment
2) Select, Move, Rotate and Scale Objects using keyboarding shortcuts and the Gizmo
3) Add Objects (meshes) to the Scene.

for an absolute beginner, there is no better tutorial series on UA-cam than this. I've seen other tutorial videos where the tutor will ramble and mutter and introduce various asides ("don't do this, I'm just showing you"), then undo it all to get back on track, and then suddenly click a dozen things in rapid succession without clearly explaining what just happened. Usually you can figure out what happened by re-watching the sequence several times, but BornCG does none of that. Every keystroke and mouse click is explained very clearly in a linear fashion from beginning to end.
That said, it doesn't hurt to follow other tutorials too: There are many different ways to achieve a desired result and it's useful to see how different tutors do it, but again, if you're new to 3d modeling then BornGC's tutorials are certainly the best place to start.
Great stuff. +1 with 3d knobs on.
Thank you for having some personality, been looking for Blender Tutorials but everyone puts me to sleep!
If you are a fast learner or impatient, set the playback speed to 1.25 or even 1.5.
I've never heard anyone who sounded exactly the same when the video was sped up!
I always use 2.0
sometimes i hope there is faster because of how slow is teacher ( i don't mean you colin)
Or turn to .5 speed and he sounds super high and shwaisted.
set it to 2x if you are on cocaine
I feel you on a spiritual level
This is a really nice tutorial. Just sent the playlist to a friend and hes enjoying it. For anyone who's using blender on a laptop without a mouse and simply cant get one, don't sweat what he mentioned in the video though. I learned blender around 5 years ago and used the trackpad almost exclusively for about 3 and 1/2 years until I got a mouse. It's weird to get used to for a few minutes but something that isn't mentioned is that blender has an option in the "User Preferences" under "Input" on the left-hand side called "Emulate 3 Button mouse" that allows you to use Alt+Left click to rotate your view, Shift+Left click to pan and CTRL+Left click to zoom. It takes a few minutes to get used to but all in all its incredibly easy to work with and becomes muscle memory after working in the program for a bit. Now if you DO have access to a mouse then by all means use it, but if not, then don't worry, the trackpad will work just as well.(Also in your windows settings I recommend turning up the mouse movement speed because this will make blender much more responsive on the trackpad and you wont need to readjust your finger every 2 seconds to move around) Also for those who don't have a number pad on their laptops, I highly recommend turning on "Emulate Numpad" under the "Input" tab as well. This allows you to use crucial functions such as front, side, and top view (1,3, and 7 respectively) and will make working in the program substantially easier.
Your tutorials are awesome. I have been messing with Blender for years on and off (well not that much) and now have time to take a closer look... you have made this so easy... thank you!
I have looked at a lot of other tutorials about Blender... So I already know a lot of this stuff... but actually managed ti learn something from this one already (Shift-C).
This series shows great potential. Thank you
I watched many videos for Blender but the way you explained the difference between Persp and Ortho (no one did explain the same) really was so helpful and informative....great work
+khaled hany thanks! 👍☺️
BornCG: Thank you for the tutorials. For the persons have laptop, they might zoom in using (+) on keypad, or zoom out using (-), you might zoom directly by using (.) key in the keypad. If not having keypad, it is a must to have a mouse, even there is a way around it in the preferences.
You have a fantastically clear and coherent teaching style.
Thanks for this great tutorial. About the magic mouse, I would say it's a great tool for working with Blender. You can orbit just moving your finger on it in any direction in a very natural way, you can pan the same way while pressing shift key, and same thing works for zooming in and out just pressing cmd at the same time.
No need for a scrolling/button wheel.
Thank u sir thank u.. i don't have enough money to buy courses on skillshare or any other website. but i think ur free courses will fulfill my needs. thanks again
holy cow. i've been using blender for a year or so now, and i never knew about "shift-c". thanks!
Very good video series! It is not too fast nor the videos to long for those just beginning and those of us, who know a little but are ready to take the next step .
I like it that you don't assume we know something and explain it, which makes this great for young and old alike. I get really tired of beginner videos that assume you know it all or don't explain why they are doing something. If I knew all that, I wouldn't be watching durn videos if I already knew how.
Thank you and keep up the great work. I will continue to recommend this series to those wishing to learn about Blender.
This is awesome. Have been using 3ds Max student version, but was asked by work to create something for them. Found this to use as my crash course and I'm learning so much! Thanks so much for posting these. :)
congrats! you just earned yourself a subscriber
Basically everything I wanted and needed to know to get started
Thanx Sir, just started out, so well explained, so clear, and in the end you summarize what we did, amazing!
I don't know if anyone's mentioned it, but to transform/scale/rotate an object along a specific axis using the keyboard shortcut, you simply hit the operation key (g, s or r) followed by the axis (x, y or z), and then, when you move the mouse, it will work along that axis only.
thank you! your the best ive been searching for a good blender tutorial forever and your the best speaker/teacher ive come across.
Best Tutorial ever! you sir surely knows how to translate these confusing buttons/shortcuts to layman's term in a very simple way. Thanks!
Beautiful done tutorials BornCG . This really helped me figure out what I have missed out on by simply messing around with Blender without a set direction. Thanks!
thanks a lot! this is my first video that I watch but I am sure I will finish the whole playlist! That's wonderful
hello from France, really good tutorial and your recent 2.7 live the people like you who give your time sharp thousand thanks blender the best for me
If anyone is using a Laptop like me and is using Blender 2.77 here are some keys you can use if you do not have a moues.
hold Ctrl (+) to zoom in and
Ctrl (-) to zoom out
as for Roteing and moving the up and down on the screen
go into File/ User prefences. a box will pop up click on the IMPUT tab and check off emulate 3 button mouse. save the changes and then close the box.
you should now be able to use these buttons in the editor if the buttons dont work right away close and reopen blender and it should work for you :)
ALT + Click to rotate
ALT + SHIFT + CLICK to move
tho its a bit awkward to use it this way it works but I would recommend using a mouse so you don't hurts your hand in the long run ^_^
Thank you I just installed it and the tip helped :)
Vibhor Thakral :D anytime ^^
LMAO. Good thing that you mentioned the thing that pops up whenever the mouse is left cliked. That thing is annoying me from the start since I am following the tutorial. Thank you and great tutorial!
Watched several of your videos and so well done and easy to understand I am going thru them all gleaning what I can from these to add to my personal blender usage. Awesome and thanks for doing these!
Awesome, glad to see you making videos again!
Thanks! =) Yup, back up and running.
A.M. Sabuncu Heh, thanks. Yeah, I will work on the brevity of my words / videos.
BornCG Big fan of your tutorials. Do you think thought when you reach the IK rigging part of your tutorial, that you could show us tricks in making a realistic walk/movements with that same or similar rig? Like how to make it look like the characters feet arnt slipping on the ground, and the balance in anatomy etc.
Thanks again!
Nice tutorial. Don't know if you did some seemless editing but mad respect if you did that all in one take.
you're the best out there... you're just the best. CAPITAL THANKS!
Thanks a million. Job very well done! Kudos. You are a great instructor.
Thanks! :)
I really liked this tutorials because it's very simple ,yet full of information. Blender cookies tutorials which i watched before.(only 6 episodes i think) tried to compress the information which made it hard to memorize. You are making a tutorial on alot of the features which is helpful because. blender cookies put a tutorial on modeling and when it ended i was confused so this is a massive improvement over blender cookies( which is getting outdated) tutorials
Hi Sir,
I am your new student, I just finished the 1st tutorial and wrote it on my notebook too,
very helpful and useful. . .
Thanks for this
You are amazing! So educational
Link, hero of butkicking Oh, you're making me blush! ;-)
BornCG Well, he is right, you are frikin awesome!
Figured something out - with a numpad on Blender 2.78 2,4,6,8 work like arrow keys - 4 & 6 turn left and right, while 8 & 2 turn up and down.
Excellent video. Very easy to understand and follow. Great for beginners like me! :)
BornCG
Hello,
Very nice tutorial. You look like a professionnal xD
Thank you!
Looking forward for more tutorials,
Younes Ait Amer Meziane.
Many Thanks. Very useful tutorial.
Your tip about where to place the cursor prior to scaling (@ about 10:00) helped a lot. I'd been feeling that some of my scaling was acting weird, without realising the reason.
Just to add, if we want to restrict scaling to a specific direction, without using the scaling gizmo, we can just enter the appropriate axis. So, S for scale, followed by X,Y or Z to constrain scaling to that direction.
Thanks again.
Your tutorials are the best for novices like me. Keep it up!
1 Axis, 2 Axes XD Nice vid!
I'm glad you're doing these again. I tried making a pizza in Blender using some of the already existing shape meshes while going through your older tutorials. Maybe box modelling will help me out more for that... Maybe It'll be a little easier to understand this time around. :)
Absolutely Amazing tutorial! Realy helped me use Blender and there is nothing else like it.
Top tutorial, great communicator. Had my blender software opened and flipped between video and software to try out each tip as is came up. Happy days.
Thanks! This is actually an old tutorial now. I have a new series in blender 2.8 which came out last summer 2019
You're videos are great ! thanks a lot !
user preference in input tab for all those with laptops. has 3 button an numpad emulation. in case that info hasn't been shared, or too many comments to scroll through.
Very helpful Thanks !
Change Right mouse button to Left mouse button in File--user pref.--input--mouse left
The intro is dope
Very helpful tutorial. Thanks!
Great Job! Awesome teaching
Thanks for the great introduction to blender! I can't wait for what we'll learn next time.
Really nice tutorial, it's perfectly clear what you're doing at all times and it is all very helpful information.
Thanks for the tutes. Coming from Max/Maya/zBrush and finding these tutes pretty decent cheers
So awesome! Thank you for this, I finally feel like I can learn this program
Awesome tutorials Dude!
good job very impressive
lovely way of teaching. Thanks!
Thanks! :)
iam stucked to use blender properly, thank you for your help sir ,
thanks so much for the tutorials, your awesome!
Very nice and clear tutorial, thanks a lot!
This is great! Please keep this going ie. updating after major releases. I needed something like this. Now if I could only find something like this for Fusion 9
Thanks, and most definitely will do! if you haven't seen more of these Blender 2.7 tutorials, I am currently up to #87. :)
Thank you so much!! These are great!
Thank you for the lesson!
So glad to have found your videos, thankyou
bruh, ur legend
The transformation indicator is called a "widget" in Blender (according to official docs.) not "gizmo." Just FYI.
Very nice, but I think you should have added that when using S, G or R, you can also press X,Y and Z to lock the transformation to that axis and press it a second time to switch between object-bound axis and space-bound axis.
Great Explaination.Keep it up.
Phenomenal instructor! Thank you!
Great intro! Keep the videos coming!
谢谢,帮了大忙~ 讲得很详细。
You're welcome. :)
very nice tutorial, thank you
how can someone possibly dislike this ?
+ashish dubey I KNOW, right?! 😝
ikr
its like bob ross
Maybe because they don't have a num pad? :P
Maya users..
Thank you so Much , you Helped me a Lot :)
finest tuts!!!
and as we all know, any bit of magic sufficiently well hyped, is indistinguishable from technology.
amazing tutorialss
Really helped me 👍
Thank you very much, I am learning so much from you, definetley subscribing!!!
Nice. Let's make an photo-realistic character model.
Missing the 'press s then z' etc stuff eh? -- friendly critique :) -- nice vid, looking forward to rest of series ... many thanks up front :D
edit: also the 'press s (then z, or r -- r is ubers with numstuff mepinions :b) then 2 or 3 to use unit stuff' stuff .. :b
By the way, I am enjoying the tutorials so far, taking notes on google docs! xD
Nicely done. Clear and on point. Painfully slow for me coming from many years of maya. As blender is new, but not alien. Again very well put together thus far. See you down the playlist line heh.
Your sir really know how to make a tutorial! Keep going, thank you very much! (:
Very helpful for a novice like me :) thank you
To be fair you can zoom and fully rotate by using the num pad, but mouse is much easier.
Very true!
Thank you SO much for this video I cannot find a tutorial as good as this one... unfortunately, I can't go on a video watching marathon because I'm exhausted so, cya tomorrow! YOU'LL SEE ME IN ALL THE COMMENTS!!! MUAHAHHAHAHAHA xD
Thanks a lot for making these videos :)
Cool!!!!! I loved it.
Thank you so much! It is really helpful for beginner like me :))))))
I love you teacher
FL Studio default kick, snare and hat. So much for browsing LOL
Haha, you got me! It was my first time using FL studio about 5 years ago. You'll be happy to know an actual musician made my newer intro music on new videos since December 2018.
You´re great! thanks : )
The new multitouch Mac trackpads let you orbit easily by dragging two fingers. Zoom with fingers apart and out with fingers together. It's really not difficult
i like its startup music..............
Thank you!.
Hey look. A series of detailed tutorials for a free program that don't cost money to watch.
Hello. I just wanted to say that though I just finished my first video after having started a very long while ago because of massive amounts of procrastination, I found the video amazing and enormously helpful and I have no doubt the coming videos will just as awesome :D
I had question, once I have selected an object (camera/lights/mesh) using my right click button is there any way of de-selecting the selected object?
Once again thanks for the awesome tutorial and tutorials I'll hopefully go through. Cheers :3
Thank you
Ctrl + SpaceBar to toggle gizmo's
I use second life to buijd and sell mesh stuff like cloths etc. even for SL I uses to learn baking and UV making beginners that as far as I got. I'd love to pick up where I left off I'm way behind, basicly I love to created things. maybe one day gaming stuff, right now I whant to then Everything I can about blender.
