| 00.03 | Welcome to the series of Blender Tutorials. |
| 00.07 | This tutorial is about the 3D Cursor in Blender 2.59. |
| 00.15 | This script has been contributed by Chirag Raman and edited by Monisha Banerjee. |
| 00.25 | After watching this tutorial, we shall learn what is 3D cursor? |
| 00.32 | How to add new objects to the 3D view in Blender using 3D cursor and the snapping options for 3D cursor in Blender |
| 00.46 | I assume that you already know how to install Blender on your system. |
| 00.51 | If not please refer to our earlier tutorials on Installing Blender. |
| 00.57 | The 3D Cursor is the red and white ring with the cross-hair that you see at the centre of the Blender screen. |
| 01.06 | Let us see the 3D cursor in Blender. To do that we need to open Blender. |
| 01.12 | There are two ways to open Blender |
| 01.15 | First, go to the Blender icon on the desktop. Right Click the Blender icon. Left click Open. |
| 01.27 | The second and easier way to open Blender is Left double click the Blender icon on the desktop. |
| 01.42 | This is Blender 2.59. Please note that the screen resolution shown here is 1024 by 768 pixels. |
| 01.54 | The font size in the Blender interface has been increased so that you can understand all the options given. |
| 02.01 | To learn how to increase the Interface font size please see the tutorial on User Preferences. |
| 02.12 | This is known as the welcome page or splash screen. It shows some useful reference links for learning about Blender. |
| 02.20 | To remove the splash screen, press ESC on your keyboard or |
| 02.25 | left click mouse anywhere on the Blender interface other than splash screen. |
| 02.32 | Now you can see the default Blender workspace. |
| 02.37 | The 3D cursor is right at the centre of the screen surrounded by the cube . |
| 02.43 | We can’t see the cursor properly so we must delete the cube. |
| 02.48 | By default, the cube is already selected. |
| 02.51 | To delete it, press the delete button on the keyboard. Left click Delete. |
| 02.58 | There, you might be able to see the 3D cursor better now. |
| 03.04 | The primary purpose of the 3D Cursor is to specify the location of a new object added to the 3D scene |
| 03.15 | Go to ADD. Go to Mesh. Left click Cube. |
| 03.19 | You can also use key board shortcut shift & A to add new objects to the 3D view. |
| 03.27 | A new cube is added to the 3D view. |
| 03.30 | As you can see, the new cube has appeared on the same location as the 3D cursor. |
| 03.38 | Now let us see how we can add a new object to a new location. |
| 03.44 | First we need to move the 3D cursor to a new location. |
| 03.48 | To do this, left click at any location in the 3D space. |
| 03.53 | I am clicking to the left side of the cube. |
| 03.59 | Shift & A to add a new object Mesh. Left click UV sphere. |
| 04.10 | The UV sphere appears at the new location of the 3D cursor. |
| 04.15 | Now we shall see the snapping options for the 3D cursor |
| 04.22 | Go to Object. Go to Snap. This is the Snap menu. |
| 04.29 | There are various options here. |
| 04.31 | You can also use the keyboard shortcut Shift & S. |
| 04.38 | Selection to cursor snaps the selected item to the 3D cursor. |
| 04.45 | For example, let us snap the cube to the 3D cursor. |
| 04.50 | Right click on the cube. Shift & S to pull up the snap menu. |
| 04.58 | Left click Selection to cursor. The cube snaps to the 3D cursor. |
| 05.06 | Now lets move the cube to the right . Left click green handle, hold and drag your mouse to the right. |
| 05.17 | For keyboard shortcut, Press G&Y. |
| 05.23 | To learn more about moving objects in the 3D view see the tutorial on Basic description of Blender interface. |
| 05.35 | Shift & S to pull up the snap menu. Left click cursor to selected. |
| 05.43 | The 3D cursor snaps to the centre of the cube in the new location . |
| 05.50 | In case you have more than 1 object selected at the same time, say the cube and the UV sphere here, |
| 05.59 | Cursor to selected snaps the 3D cursor at the centre of the two objects selected. |
| 06.07 | Let me demonstrate. As you can see, the cube is already selected. |
| 06.12 | Shift plus right click to select the UV sphere. So now you have two objects selected at the same time. |
| 06.22 | Shift & S to pull up the snap menu. Click Cursor to selected. |
| 06.30 | The 3D cursor snaps to the centre of the two selected objects. |
| 06.36 | Now Shift plus right click the lamp. Shift & S to pull up the snap menu. |
| 06.47 | Click Cursor to Selected. The 3D cursor snaps to the centre of the 3 selected objects. |
| 06.58 | Click on any point in the 3D view to move the 3D cursor. I am clicking to the bottom right. |
| 07.07 | Shift & S to pull up the snap menu. |
| 07.12 | Click Cursor to Center. The 3D cursor snaps to the centre of the 3D view |
| 07.22 | Press A on the keyboard to deselect the objects. |
| 07.28 | Now, right click the UV sphere. Press A to deselect it. |
| 07.39 | Shift & S to pull up the snap menu. |
| 07.44 | Click Cursor to active. |
| 07.47 | The 3D cursor snaps to the centre of the UV sphere the last active selection |
| 07.56 | The 3D cursor provides additional benefits when used as a pivot point while modeling, |
| 08.03 | but we shall look at that in later tutorials. |
| 08.08 | Now try to add new objects to the 3D view in different locations using the 3D cursor. |
| 08.16 | After that, explore the snapping options in the snap menu. All the best! |
| 08.26 | So that wraps up our tutorial on Blender’s 3D Cursor. |
| 08.31 | This Tutorial is created by Project Oscar and supported by the National Mission on Education through ICT. |
| 08.40 | More information on the same is available at thefollowing links oscar.iitb.ac.in, and spoken-tutorial.org/NMEICT-Intro. |
