Blender - Basic Controls - Part 1

[lifessparkduh]

how do you select a block and de select it? so you can scale it or rotate it? I made a cylinder for my sword hilt but once i made it I couldn't select the sword hilt again T_T

LOL ON NUMPAD! I've been pressing 7 on the keyboard for the longest time and it changes to layer 7 LOL thanks for adding that extra bit of info this tut was very useful!

What is that red and white circle with the crosshairs? and what is it used for?

[asib12]

@SpaceboySixFour Wherever the centre of that circle is, is where objects will be positioned when created.

[asib12]

There is an animation mode in blender. You can use it to make scenes and to animate them. Try Googling 'How to animate in blender' or search youtube.

Excellent tutorial,, you want over basic controls well. That's good, as i had not yet seen any tutorial that explained how to line-up or snap-to-grid anywhere. Thanks for doing that. Good work :)
