| 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! |
