HPR4177: Blender 3D Tutorial #1

In this tutorial I will guide you through the process of making this image. Check the comments of this episode later for information on where you can share your results.

Since this is an audio tutorial, I recommend you consider using media player software that allows you to easily rewind, pause and skip around without issue. Something that allows you to use hotkeys to pause and rewind 10 seconds at a time would be ideal.

Also, here are some important hotkeys that will be explained throughout the tutorial.

• Ctrl+s = Save your scene (do this frequently in case Blender crashes on you)
  
• Numpad 0 = Camera view
  
• g = grab
  
• r = rotate
  
• s = scale
  
• x,y,z = axis restrictions while using above keys
  
• Middle mouse button hold = rotate view of the scene
  
• Tab = Change between object mode and edit mode
  
• F12 = render scene
  
• ~ = From camera view, this will reposition your camera using the keys below.
  
• w,a,s,d,q,e = In camera view forward,left,backward, up, down
