| 00:03 | Welcome to the series of Blender tutorials. |
| 00:07 | This tutorial is about the Outliner window in Blender 2.59. |
| 00:16 | This script has been contributed by Sneha Deorukhkar and Bhanu Prakash and edited by Monisha Banerjee. |
| 00:28 | After watching this tutorial, we shall learn: |
| 00:33 | what is the Outliner window; |
| 00:36 | what are the Eye, arrow and camera icons in the Outliner window and |
| 00:43 | what is the display menu in the Outliner window. |
| 00:49 | I assume that you know the basic elements of the Blender interface. |
| 00:54 | If not, then please refer to our earlier tutorial - Basic Description of the Blender Interface. |
| 01:03 | The Outliner is a flowchart list of data in Blender. |
| 01:09 | By default, it is present at the top right corner of the 'Blender Interface'. |
| 01:15 | Let us resize the Outliner window. |
| 01:20 | Left-click the bottom edge and drag it down. |
| 01:26 | Left-click the left edge and drag it to the left. |
| 01:36 | We can see the options in the 'Outliner window' more clearly now. |
| 01:41 | To learn how to resize the Blender windows, see our tutorial- |
| 01:47 | How to Change Window Types in Blender. |
| 01:59 | Left click View . |
| 02:03 | Here are various options like- |
| 02:06 | Show Restriction Columns, |
| 02:09 | Show Active, |
| 02:11 | Show or Hide One level, |
| 02:14 | Show Hierarchy, |
| 02:17 | Duplicate area into New window and * Toggle full screen. |
| 02:25 | Deactivate Show Restriction Columns. |
| 02:30 | This hides all the viewable, selectable and renderable options present at the far right corner of the 'outliner' window. |
| 02:42 | Again, Left-click View. |
| 02:46 | Activate Show Restriction Columns to unhide the viewable, selectable and renderable options. |
| 02:56 | Left-click the plus sign to the left of the Cube in the 'Outliner window'. |
| 03:03 | A cascade list appears. |
| 03:05 | It shows you a list of the properties of the selected object. |
| 03:11 | We will discuss these in detail in later tutorials. |
| 03:16 | Eye makes your object visible or invisible in the 3D view. |
| 03:24 | For example, left click eye for cube. |
| 03:29 | The cube is no longer visible in the '3D view'. |
| 03:35 | Again, left click eye for cube. |
| 03:41 | Now, the cube can be seen in the 3D-view. |
| 03:48 | Arrow makes your object selectable or unselectable in the 3D-view. |
| 03:56 | For example, left-click arrow for cube. |
| 04:02 | Right click the cube in the 3D-view. The cube cannot be selected. |
| 04:10 | Again, left-click arrow for cube in the 'Outliner window'. |
| 04:17 | Right click the cube in 3D-view. |
| 04:21 | The cube can now be selected. |
| 04:28 | Camera makes your object renderable or non-renderable. |
| 04:34 | Left click Camera for cube. |
| 04:38 | Press f12 on your keyboard to render the scene. |
| 04:46 | The cube is not visible in the render. |
| 04:51 | Press Esc on your keyboard to go back to 3D-view. |
| 04:56 | Again, left click Camera for cube in the 'Outliner window'. |
| 05:03 | Press f12 to render the scene. |
| 05:09 | The cube can now be seen in the render. |
| 05:15 | Press Esc to go back to 3D-view |
| 05:21 | Left-click the 'Search' bar in the 'Outliner window'. |
| 05:28 | If your scene has multiple objects then this search tool helps to filter out objects of similar groups or a particular object in the scene. |
| 05:40 | Scene at the top left corner of the 'Outliner window', lists all the objects in your 'Blender scene' and their associated elements. |
| 05:51 | Left click All Scenes. |
| 05:55 | This drop-down list is the display menu. |
| 05:59 | It contains the display options for the Outliner panel. |
| 06:04 | Left click Current Scene. |
| 06:08 | You can see all objects present in the current scene listed in the 'Outliner window'. |
| 06:18 | Left click Current Scene to open the display menu. |
| 06:26 | Left click Visible Layers. |
| 06:30 | All objects present in the active layer or layers are listed in the 'Outliner window'. |
| 06:38 | We will learn about Layers in detail in later tutorials. |
| 06:44 | Left click Visible Layers to open the display menu. |
| 06:52 | Left click Selected. |
| 06:55 | The Outliner lists only that object which is selected in the 3D-view. |
| 07:04 | Left click Selected to open the display menu. |
| 07:09 | Left click Active . |
| 07:12 | The Outliner lists only that object which was most recently selected in the 3D-view. |
| 07:22 | Left click Active to open the display menu. |
| 07:28 | Left click Same Types. |
| 07:31 | As the name suggests, the Same Type option lists all the objects that fall under the same category in the 'Outliner window'. |
| 07:41 | For example, the cube is selected by default in the 3D-view. |
| 07:47 | So the Outliner lists all the mesh objects in the scene. |
| 07:51 | In this case, the cube is the only mesh object in the scene. |
| 07:58 | We will learn about mesh objects, in detail, in more advanced tutorials about Animation in Blender. |
| 08:08 | Left click Same Types to open the display menu. |
| 08:14 | Groups lists all the grouped objects in the scene. |
| 08:20 | There are few other options here which we will cover in the later tutorials. |
| 08:27 | So, this is the breakdown of the outliner window. |
| 08:32 | While working with a large scene having multiple objects, the Outliner window becomes a very useful tool in keeping track of each object in the scene. |
| 08:45 | Now, create a new file, list selected in the Outliner and make the cube un renderable. |
