Reviewers: Namita Lobo, Leena Mulye


Visual Cue
Narration
00:02 Welcome to the series of Blender tutorials.
00:05 This tutorial is about the User Preferences window in Blender 2.59.
00:12 This script has been contributed by Bhanu Prakash and edited by Monisha Banerjee
00:22 After watching this tutorial, we shall learn what is User Preferences window;
00:30 what are the different options available in the User Preferences window;
00:36 and how to customize the Blender interface using the User Preferences window
00:43 I assume that you know the basic elements of the Blender interface.
00:48 If not then please refer to our earlier tutorial
00:52 Basic Description of the Blender Interface.
00:58 Go to File at the top left corner of the Blender interface.
01:05 Left click to open File.
01:08 Here is a list of options which have been explained already in the tutorial File Browser and Info Panel


01:19 Select User Preferences
01:22 For keyboard shortcut, press Ctrl, Alt & U
01:32 This is User Preferences window.
01:38 Go to Interface at the top left corner of the User Preferences window.
01:45 This contains several options for customizing the Blender interface.
01:50 The basic required options are already activated by default.
01:56 Display mini axis controls the size of the mini axis present at the bottom left corner of the 3D view.
02:05 The default size is 25.
02:09 I am using size 60 for better viewing purposes in the Blender Tutorials series.
02:16 Let me demonstrate
02:18 Close the User preferences window
02:24 At the bottom left corner of the 3D view, we can see the mini axis.
02:32 The mini axis represents the global transform axis of the 3D space in Blender.
02:40 It is useful when animating in Blender.
02:44 We will discuss about global and local transform axis in detail in subsequent tutorials.
02:52 Press Ctrl, Alt & U to open the User Preferences window
03:00 Activate Rotate around selection .
03:06 This enables you to orbit around the center of the selected object.
03:12 Let us see what this means.
03:15 Close the User preferences window
03:19 Right click the lamp in the 3D view
03:27 Press and hold mouse wheel or middle mouse button and move your mouse.
03:35 We are orbiting around the selected object.
03:42 Similary, Right click the Camera.
03:47 Press and hold mouse wheel or middle mouse button and move your mouse.
03:55 Now we are rotating around camera.


04:03 Press Ctrl, Alt & U to open the User Preferences window
04:10 Left click Editing.
04:14 This contains parameters that reflect the behavior of Blender in Object editing mode or the Edit Mode.
04:24 Again the basic options already activated by default.
04:32 Global undo increases/decreases the number of undo steps that might be required while editing.
04:44 Left click Input.
04:46 Here we can customize all the keyboard shortcuts used in Blender.
04:53 Emulate 3-button mouse will make your 2-button mouse behave like a 3-button mouse in Blender.
05:04 Select with can change the selection option of your mouse from right to left.
05:12 This is useful for left-handed users.
05:19 Emulate numpad will make the number keys on your keyboard behave like the numpad keys in Blender.
05:29 This is useful for laptop users, who don't have a separate numpad on the keyboard.


05:41 Left click Add-ons.
05:43 This contains a list plug-ins in blender.
05:49 Left click Enabled .
05:52 Some plug-ins are activated by default.
05:55 Other plug-ins can be installed from the respective website.
06:00 For example, let us install a plug-in for crating clouds.
06:07 Left click Object
06:11 Left click on the triangle next to Object : Cloud generator
06:19 Left click link to wiki.
06:23 This link opens a web page on our internet browser.
06:29 I am using Firefox 3.09 internet browser.
06:35 Here we can download and install the cloud generator plug-in for Blender.
06:42 Just follow the instructions on this page.
06:47 The steps shown here are similar in all internet browsers.
06:56 Left click Theme.
06:59 Here you can change the color of each panel of the Blender interface.
07:09 For example, Left click Timeline.
07:14 Here you can see the color of the current frame indicator, grid and all other attributes as well.
07:24 Left click the green bar next to current frame.
07:30 This is the colour mode window in Blender.
07:38 The white dot here over the green area controls the colour of the current frame indicator.
07:45 I am going to change it to red.
07:49 Left click the white dot, hold and drag your mouse to the red area.
07:58 Release left click.
08:01 Notice how the values of RGB have changed as well.
08:07 In this way, we can change the colour of the other listed options too.
08:15 Left click File.
08:20 Here we can set the location of Fonts, Textures, Plugins, Render output, Scripts, Sounds, etc. on our system.
08:38 Let us set the location for Fonts
08:42 Left click the file icon at the right end of the first rectangle bar.
08:53 A file browser opens.
08:56 By default, we are inside the local C drive directory
09:02 Left click the windows directory.
09:07 Navigate to Fonts
09:11 Left click Accept at the top right corner of the screen.
09:19 A path has appeared on the first rectangle bar.
09:25 Blender now knows where to look for the fonts on our system.
09:32 Similary, left click the file icon at the right end of the second rectangle bar.


09:40 Again, the file browser opens.
09:43 Now we can set the location for the textures on our system like we did for the fonts.
09:52 What if I want to exit this file browser without selecting a location for the textures?
10:00 Left click Back to previous next to help at the top of the screen to return to the User Preferences window.
10:11 There is no path visible on the second rectangle bar because I did not select one.
10:20 Left Click System .
10:23 Here we can customize the Blender settings according to the properties of the computer we are using.
10:29 DPI changes the font size and resolution for display in Blender.
10:36 the default DPI in Blender is 72.
10:42 I am using DPI:90 for better viewing purposes in the Blender tutorials series
10:52 Save as default at the bottom left corner is used to save our customized changes in the blender interface.
11:01 For keyboard shortcut, press CTRl & U


11:07 So this was the basic information about the User Preferences window.
11:13 Apart from these there are other options present in user preferences window which will be discussed in the later tutorials.
11:25 Now try to open the user preferences window in Blender using the keyboard shortcut.
11:33 Then, using Rotate around selection, make the cube the centre of rotation in the 3D view.
11:42 Install cloud generator plug-in for Blender,
11:47 change the colour of the current frame indicator in the timeline and set the location for render output on your computer.
11:57 All the best!
12:02 And that completes this tutorial on User Preferences.
12:10 This Tutorial is created by Project Oscar and supported by the National Mission on Education through ICT.
