Time Narration
00:04 Welcome to the series of Blender Tutorials.
00:07 This tutorial is about Navigation – Moving in 3D space in Blender 2.59.
00:17 This script has been contributed by Chirag Raman and edited by Monisha Banerjee.
00:26 After watching this tutorial, we shall learn how to pan, rotate and zoom within a 3D space such as the Blender view port.
00:38 I assume that you already know how to install Blender on your system.
00:43 If not, please refer to our earlier tutorials on Installing Blender.
00:50 Navigation in Blender depends a lot on the type of mouse you have –
00:56 a 3 button mouse
00:58 or a 2 button mouse
01:00 with a wheel.
01:05 I am using a 2 button mouse with a wheel for this series of Blender Tutorials.
01:13 The first action we shall see is Panning a view.
01:17 There are three ways of doing this using the mouse and the keyboard.
01:22 First, we use the Shift key with the mouse wheel or scroll.
01:27 Hold shift, press down the mouse-wheel and move the mouse.
01:41 The scene pans in the direction of the mouse movement, both- left to right and up and down .
01:48 Now, hold Shift and scroll the mouse wheel up and down.
02:00 The scene pans up and down. This is the second method of Panning the view.
02:06 Hold Shift and scroll the mouse wheel downwards. The view pans upwards.
02:19 Hold Shift and scroll the mouse wheel upwards. The view pans downwards.
02:33 Third and last method of Panning the view is to use the Ctrl key with the mouse wheel.
02:40 Hold Ctrl and scroll the mouse wheel. The view pans from left to right and vice versa.
02:55 Hold Ctrl and scroll the mouse wheel upwards. The view pans to the right.
03:09 Hold Ctrl and scroll the mouse wheel downwards. The view pans to the left.
03:22 You can also use your numpad keys to pan the view.
03:29 Hold ctrl and numpad2, the view pans upwards.
03:37 Hold Ctrl & numpad 8, the view pans downwards.
03:46 Hold Ctrl & numpad 4, the view pans to the left.
03:55 Hold Ctrl & numpad 6, the view pans to the right.
04:03 If you are using a laptop, you need to emulate your number keys as numpad. To learn how to emulate numpad, see the tutorial on User Preferences.
04:19 Right. The next action we shall see is to rotate the view.
04:24 Press down your mouse wheel and move the mouse in a square pattern.
04:33 That gives us turntable rotation.
04:39 You can also use the Trackball type of rotation in Blender for little more flexibility over the action of rotation.
04:49 For this, you need to change the option Turntable to Trackball in the User Preferences window.
04:57 To learn how to do this, see the tutorial on User Preferences.</p>
05:05 Rotating the view can be done either
05:08 left to right or up and down.
05:13 Now let us rotate the view left to right.
05:19 Hold ctrl, alt and scroll the mouse wheel up and down. The view rotates left to right and vice versa.
05:35 Hold ctrl, alt and scroll the mouse wheel upwards. The view rotates to the left.
05:47 Hold ctrl, alt and scroll the mouse wheel downwards. The view rotates to the right.</p>
06:00 You can also use the short cut keys 4 and 6 on the num pad.
06:07 Press numpad 4, the view rotates to the left.
06:16 Press num pad 6, the view rotates to the right.
06:26 Now we rotate the view up and down.
06:30 Hold Shift, Alt and scroll the mouse wheel up and down. The view rotates up and down.
06:45 Hold Shift, Alt and scroll the mouse wheel upwards. The view rotates downwards.
06:58 Hold Shift, Alt and scroll the mouse wheel downwards. The view rotates upwards.
07:10 You can also use the shortcut keys 2 and 8 on the numpad.
07:16 Press numpad 2, the view rotates upwards.
07:23 Press numpad 8, the view rotates downwards.
07:32 Last action is Zooming the view.
07:36 Scroll the mouse-wheel upwards to zoom in.
07:43 Scroll the mouse wheel downwards to zoom out. Easy! Isn’t it?
07:51 For shortcut, use the plus and minus keys on the numpad.
07:58 Press numpad '+' to zoom-in.
08:04 Press numpad '–' to zoom-out.
08:10 That wraps up our tutorial on Navigating in 3D space within the Blender View port.
08:18 Now try to pan, rotate and zoom the 3D view. All the best!
