Time Narration
00:03 Welcome to the series of Blender tutorials.
00:07 This tutorial is about basic description of the Blender interface in Blender 2.59.
00:15 This script has been contributed by Bhanu Prakash and edited by Monisha Banerjee.
00:22 After watching this tutorial, we shall learn the different windows of the Blender interface,
00:29 the parameters and tabs assigned to each window, how to select an object in the 3D view,
00:37 and how to move an object in X,Y & Z directions.
00:44 I assume that you know how to get started with Blender.
00:48 If not, then please refer to our earlier tutorials on getting Blender.
00:56 This is the 3D panel.
00:58 By default, there are three objects present in the 3D view.
01:03 a cube, a lamp and a camera.
01:10 The cube is already selected by default.
01:15 Right-click to select the lamp.
01:19 Right-click to select the camera.
01:23 So, to select any object in the 3D view, you must right-click on that object.
01:31 Right-click to select the cube.
01:35 These three coloured arrows, merging at the centre of the cube, represent the 3D Transform manipulator.
01:44 This manipulator helps to move the object in a particular axis.
01:51 Red color represents X axis,
01:55 green represents Y axis
01:59 and blue represents Z axis.
02:05 Left-click and hold the green handle and move your mouse left to right.
02:15 For keyboard shortcut, press G & Y.
02:22 We see that the object moves only in the direction of Y axis.
02:32 Similarly, move the object along Z axis using blue handle.
02:45 For keyboard shortcut, press G & Z.
02:56 Now, try moving the object along X axis.
03:08 For keyboard shortcut, press G & X
03:23 The area enclosed by the red box is the 3D view.
03:32 Go to the bottom left corner of the 3D view.
03:36 Left-click View. Here is a list of various view options for the 3D view.
03:46 Left-click Top. For keyboard shortcut, press numpad 7.
03:52 The 3D view changes from User Perspective to Top view.
03:57 We can see our object from the top view.
04:03 Left click Select. Here is a list of various selection options for all objects in the 3D view.
04:18 Left-click Object. Here is a list of various editing options for the active object.
04:35 On the left side of the 3D view is the Object Tools panel.
04:41 This panel lists the various tools used to modify the active object in the 3D view.
04:49 The tools are grouped in different categories.
04:52 Transform, Object, Shading, Keyframes, Motion Paths, repeat, Grease Pencil.
05:13 For example, let's move the lamp in the 3D view.
05:19 Right-click to select the lamp.
05:23 Go to the Object tools panel .
05:28 You can see the options for the lamp in the Object tools panel.
05:35 Left-click Translate and move your mouse.
05:41 The lamp moves in the direction of the mouse movement.
05:46 Right-click on screen or press Esc on your keyboard to cancel Translate.
05:57 On the right side of the 3D view is another panel hidden by default.
06:04 Left-click the plus sign at the top right corner of the 3D view, to open the hidden panel.
06:12 For keyboard shortcut, press N.
06:17 This extra Object Transform panel is similar to the Object panel in the Properties window.
06:25 We will see the Object panel in detail in subsequent tutorials.
06:30 For now, let's hide the extra panel and go back to the default 3D view.
06:37 Move your mouse cursor to the left edge of the extra Object Transform panel.
06:44 A double-headed arrow appears.
06:48 Left-click and drag your mouse to the right.
06:52 The extra object Transform panel is once again hidden.
06:59 You can also use the keyboard shortcut N to hide or unhide this panel.
07:07 To learn more about the 3D view, see the tutorial Types of Windows - 3D view.
07:18 The area enclosed by the red box is the Info panel.
07:23 It is the top most panel in our Blender interface. Info panel contains the main menu.
07:33 Left clickFile.
07:36 This menu contains File options such as creating a new file, opening an existing file, saving the file, User Preferences, importing or exporting a file, etc.
07:57 Left-click Add.
