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.
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.
