|Welcome to the series of Blender tutorials.

|This tutorial is about the properties window in Blender 2.59.

|After watching this tutorial, we shall learn what is the Properties window;

|what are the '''scene panel, world panel and Object panel''' under the Properties window;

|what are the various settings in the '''scene panel, world panel and Object panel''' under the Properties window

|I assume that you know the basic elements of the Blender interface.

|If not then please refer to our earlier tutorial - Basic Description of the Blender Interface.

|The Properties window is located on the  right hand side  of our screen.  

|We have already seen the first panel of the Properties window and the settings in the previous tutorial.

|Lets see the next panels in the Properties window.

|First, we must resize our Properties window for better viewing and understanding.

|Left click the  left edge  of the Properties window, hold and drag to the left.

|We can see the  options  in the Properties window more clearly now.

|To learn how to resize the Blender windows see our tutorial - How to Change Window Types in Blender

|Left click the  second  icon at the top row of the Properties window. This is the '''scene''' panel.

|'''Camera''' is the active camera used for rendering the scene.

|'''Units''' determines the scale of the objects in the scene.

|This is very useful and important for animating in Blender.

|By default, '''Units''' is set to''' none''' and '''degrees'''.

|Left click '''Metric''' . Now all objects in our scene will be measured in metres.

|Take a look at''' Gravity'''.

|Notice that the xyz units of gravity have changed to '''metres per second square'''

|Gravity comes in use when we animate objects using Physics in Blender.

|We shall see that in later tutorials.

|Left click the third  icon at the top row of the Properties window.

|This is the''' World panel'''. Here we can change the world settings or background settings of Blender.

|Left click '''Blend Sky'''. The preview changes to  gradient colour.

| But the 3D view looks the same. So how do we know that the background has actually changed?

|Press''' F12''' to render the active camera view.

| Now we can see the change in the background.

|Close the Render Display.

|Left click  Zenith colour  . Choose a colour from the''' menu'''. I am selecting white.

| Now the background will be rendered with a black and white gradient.

|Other settings in the''' World panel''' are - '''Ambient Occlusion, environment lighting, Indirect lighting, Gather, Mist, Stars'''.

| These settings will be covered in more advanced tutorials about lighting in Blender.

|Left click the fourth  icon at the top row of the Properties window.

|This is the '''Object '''Panel. Here are the settings for the active object.

|By default, the cube is the active object. So all the settings here are for the cube.

|'''Transform''' determines the location, rotation and scale of the active object.

|Left click '''X 0''' under location. Type''' 1''' on your keyboard and press enter.

|The cube moves forward by''' 1 unit''' on the x axis.

|So this is how we can use the Object panel to move, rotate and scale the active object.

|This is very useful while animating keyframes in Blender.

|Right click''' Camera''' in the 3D view.

| Notice how the units for location, rotation and scale under Transform in the Object Panel have changed.

|These are the settings for the selected camera.

|Next setting is''' Relations'''. Here we can specify the '''layer''' and '''parent''' for our active object.

|Left click the '''second square''' under Layers. The camera is now hidden.

|Infact, it has been moved to the second  layer. Since the layer is hidden the camera gets hidden too.

|Go to '''View''' at the bottom left corner of the 3D view. Left click to open the '''menu'''.

| Select''' show all layers'''. The camera can be seen again in the 3D view.

|Layers is very useful when working with mutiple objects in one scene.

|Left click '''Parent'''   under '''Relations''' in the Object Panel.

|'''Parent'''is the most important animation tool used in all 3D animation softwares.

|We will use this a lot in the Blender Animation tutorials.

|Select cube,

|The Camera has been parented to the cube.

|The cube is the parent object and the camera is the child object. Lets see what this means.

|Right click to select the cube in the 3D view

|Left click the blue handle, hold and move your mouse up and down.

|The camera moves up and down alongwith the cube.

|Left click on screen to confirm a new location for the cube.

|Right click '''Camera''' in the 3D view. Now go back to '''Parent''' in the Object Panel.

|Left click''' Parent'''. Press '''Backspace''' on your keyboard and hit the '''enter''' key.

|The camera is no longer parented to the cube.

| It snaps back to its original position in the 3D view while the cube remains in the new position.

| This means that parenting does not change the original transform settings of the child object.

|So, in this tutorial we have covered '''scene panel,''' '''world panel''' and '''Object panel''' under the Properties window.

|The rest of the panels shall be covered in the next tutorial.

|Now, go ahead and create a new Blend file. Change scene units to Metric.

|Change world colour to Blend sky Red and black.
