Unit 4: Blender Object Functions
1. Unit 4: Blender Object Functions
Video Tutorials: Rendering Animations, Duplicating Objects, Parenting Objects, Deleting Objects, Joining Objects, Separating Objects, Boolean Objects, Global and Local Orientation
PDF Tutorials: Mesh Modeling - Vase, Mesh Modeling - Dice - Boolean, Loft Modeling - Sword
2. General Notes
This week is dedicated mostly to understanding the common object related functions in Blender. We will also continue on with some web tutorials in mesh and loft modeling.
- View the Video Tutorials posted below: Rendering Animations, Duplicating Objects, Parenting Objects, Deleting Objects, Joining Objects, Separating Objects, Boolean Objects and Global and Local Orientation.
- Work through (with your copy of Blender open) the 3 PDF tutorials posted below: Mesh Modeling - Vase - Mesh Modeling - Dice - Boolean and Loft Modeling - Sword. Any files you might need for the PDF tutorials are located in the zip file associated with the tutorial. Right-click on the zip file link and download it to your computer. Open the zip file from there and extract the files.
You should also have some solid ideas by now about your Project #1. You might want to begin some modeling ideas to see if your ideas are workable or if other directions should be taken. You can also check the 3D Links for ideas and methods.
