Special Blender Tutorial - Using the APPEND function

In this one, I'll show you how to merge 2 or more .blend files.

Did you ever model something (the head) and your pal modeled something else (the hand) and you wanted to put them together?

Well, now you'll know how to.

How do you append materials, because I would like to take materials from other blender projects and use them in new ones, like if I made a nice wood texture for a desk a while back, I want to use it for a cabinet, how would I do that? Thanks in advance.

@Blendiv

Well, you'd pretty much have to do the same. You know when you click on append and you choose your file?

There's a menu once you click on the .blend file, and this menu lets you choose what you want to append, be it a texture, material, empty, whatever you want.

Just look for material and load it up.

You're welcome, in advance (hoping it'll work).

Thanks! But what if I were to want to append the animation of the pyramid as well? When I append the object, the animation changes when I scale or move the object. ):

@Wafflesmart

That, I must say, eludes me. I have never tried anything like that, but I imagine it's a similar process. Look up importing animations or something, if you haven't already.

@DarkEmilea It's Shift-f1, you know, shift, the key that makes capital letters, and f1, the key on top of the keyboard between esc and f2?
