| 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. |
