Time	Narration
00:04	Welcome to the series of Blender tutorials.
00:08	This tutorial is about the Properties window in Blender 2.59.
00:15	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- what is the Properties window;
00:33	what is the Texture panel in the Properties window;
00:38	what are the various settings in the Texture panel of the 'Properties window'.
00:45	I assume that you know the basic elements of the Blender interface.
00:50	If not then please refer to our earlier tutorial - Basic Description of the Blender Interface.
00:58	The 'Properties window' is located on the right hand side of our screen.
01:04	We have already seen the first few panels of the 'Properties window' and their settings in the previous tutorial.
01:11	Let's see the next panel in the 'Properties window'.
01:14	First, we must resize our 'Properties window' for better viewing and understanding.
01:21	Left click the left edge of the 'Properties window', hold and drag to the left.
01:29	We can see the options in the 'Properties window' more clearly now.
01:34	To learn how to resize the Blender windows, see our tutorial - How to Change Window Types in Blender.
01:45	Go to the top row of the 'Properties window'.
01:48	Left click the Checkered Square icon at the top row of the Properties window.
01:55	This is the Texture Panel. Here, we can add a texture to the active material of the active object.
02:04	Just below the Texture icon, we can see the links displayed. Cube to White to Tex.
02:14	This means that the active object is the cube. White is the cube's active material.
02:23	Tex is the White material's active texture. There are three types of textures -
02:32	Material Textures, World Textures. And Brush Textures.
02:38	We shall see Material textures in this tutorial.
02:42	World textures and Brush textures will be covered in later tutorials.
02:49	This is the texture slot box. By default, one texture is enabled for the active material. It is highlighted in blue.
03:00	Left click the check box at the far right of the highlighted Texture. Now the texture is disabled.
03:11	Left click the check box again. It is enabled again. Next to the check box is a vertical scroll bar.
03:25	Left click and hold the vertical scroll. Drag your mouse downwards.
03:32	Now, you can see all the texture slots available for the current material.
03:38	Each slot is represented by a checkered square.
03:44	Scroll back to the active texture.
03:48	The up and down arrows are used to move the textures up and down in the texture slot box.
03:56	Left click the down arrow. The active-texture moves to the second texture slot.
04:06	Left click the up arrow. The active-texture moves back to the first slot.
04:15	Below the 'up and down' arrows is another black down arrow.
04:20	Left click the black down arrow. A menu appears.
04:26	Left click Copy Texture Slot Settings.
04:31	Left click the second texture slot in the box. It gets highlighted in blue.
04:40	Left click the black down arrow again.
04:45	Left click Paste Texture Slot Settings.
04:49	A new Texture has appeared in the second texture slot with the same settings as the first texture.
04:57	Left click the cross sign at the right of the Texture name bar below the slot box.
05:07	The second texture is removed. Its settings are gone as well.
05:15	A New button with a plus sign has appeared.
05:20	Left click the New button. A new Texture has appeared in the second texture slot.
05:29	So, this is another way to add a new texture.
05:34	Notice how the checkered square on the left of the second texture has changed to a different image.
05:42	A preview window has appeared below. It shows the preview of the active-texture.
05:49	Let's rename this texture.
05:53	Left click the Texture name bar below the slot box.
05:57	Type Bump on your keyboard and hit the Enter key.
06:05	Left click the checkered square to the left of the name bar. This is the Texture menu.
06:12	All textures used in the Scene are listed here.
06:18	Below the name bar is the Type bar. By default, every new texture displays the Clouds texture.
06:28	Left click Clouds. This is the Type menu.
06:35	Here, all types of textures supported by Blender are listed. Wood, Voxel data, Voronoi etc.
06:48	To select any texture type, just left click on it. For now, I am keeping the 'Clouds' Texture.
06:58	This is the Texture Preview window. There are three display options here.
07:05	Texture- by default, this display is always selected.
07:10	Left click Material. This shows the preview of the texture over the material.
07:19	Left click Both. As the name suggests, both texture and material displays are visible side by side now.
07:30	Left click Show Alpha. Now the texture has become transparent.
07:38	This is used for materials like glass and water. For now let's switch it off.
07:44	Left click Show Alpha again.
07:51	Next setting is Influence.
07:53	There are various options here that help the texture influence the material in four main areas.
08:01	Diffuse, Shading, Specular and Geometry. By default, Color under Diffuse is enabled.
08:22	Left click the check-box to the left of the Color bar. Color is now disabled.
08:30	The texture color no longer influences the Material Diffuse color.
08:38	Go to Geometry. Left click the check-box next to Normal.
08:45	Now the Normal of the texture influences the Geometry of the Material.
08:50	You can see the result in the preview window.
08:57	All over the preview sphere the clouds are spread as small bumps.
09:06	Blend controls how the texture blends with the material. By default, it is set as Mix.
09:15	Left click Mix. This menu lists all the texture Blend types supported by Blender.
09:25	Do you see this pink color bar under RGB to Intensity? This is the default texture color.
09:33	Right now it is not influencing the material color because remember we disabled the color option under Influence.
09:44	Left click the 'pink color'. A color menu appears.
09:48	Here we can select any color for our texture.
09:53	For now, let's leave it as pink because we are not using the texture color.
10:00	Bump Mapping determines how the normal of the texture affects the Geometry of the material.
10:09	Default is the current method of 'bump mapping'.
10:12	Left click Default. This menu lists the different methods of 'bump mapping'-
10:19	Best quality, Default, Compatible and original.
10:34	Left click Compatible. The bump influence is increased.
10:46	Next setting is Clouds. Here are various options for the clouds texture.
10:54	Greyscale displays the texture in 'greyscale' mode.
10:59	Left click Color.
11:09	Now the texture in the preview window is displayed in a mix of colors.
11:12	But the color has no effect on the material.
11:16	Noise determines the distortion of the clouds texture.
11:21	Soft noise is the default distortion.
11:25	Left click Hard. Now the 'preview window' shows hard black outlines in the 'clouds texture'.
11:36	At the same time, the bumps on the material have become deeper. This is hard noise.
11:47	Basis is the base or source of the noise in the clouds texture.
11:53	Left click Blender Original. Here is the Noise basis menu.
12:00	This shows a list of all supported noise bases in Blender.
12:05	Left click Voronoi Crackle. You can see the change in the preview window.
12:14	So, this is how Noise basis affects the clouds texture.
12:21	Size, Nabla and Depth control the characteristics of the noise in the clouds texture.
12:33	The last two icons at the top row of the 'Properties panel' are Particles and Physics.
12:42	These shall be covered in more advanced tutorials when we use Particles and Physics in our animation.
12:50	Go to the 3D-view.
12:53	Right click to select the Lamp.
12:59	Notice how the icons at the top row of the 'Properties panel' have now changed.
13:05	Some icons have been replaced while others have been removed.
13:10	Right click Camera in the 3D-view.
13:13	Again, you can see how the icons at the top row of the 'Properties panel' have changed.
13:19	This means that the tools in the 'Properties window' are dynamic and depend on the type of active object in the 3D-view.
13:29	So, this completes our tutorial on the Properties window.
13:34	Now you can go ahead and create a new file;
13:39	add a clouds texture to the cube and play around with Size, Nabla and Depth of the Clouds Noise.
13:49	This tutorial is created by Project Oscar and supported by the National Mission on Education through ICT.
13:58	More information on the same is available at the following links- oscar.iitb.ac.in and spoken-tutorial.org/NMEICT-Intro.
14:19	The Spoken Tutorial project:
