Time | Narration |
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. |
