1 00:00:04 --> 00:00:06 Welcome to the series of Blender Tutorials. 2 00:00:07 --> 00:00:16 This tutorial is about Navigation – Moving in 3D space in Blender 2.59. 3 00:00:17 --> 00:00:25 This script has been contributed by Chirag Raman and edited by Monisha Banerjee. 4 00:00:26 --> 00:00:37 After watching this tutorial, we shall learn how to pan, rotate and zoom within a 3D space such as the Blender viewport. 5 00:00:38 --> 00:00:42 I assume that you already know how to install blender on your system. 6 00:00:43 --> 00:00:49 If not please refer to our earlier tutorials on Installing Blender. 7 00:00:50 --> 00:00:55 Navigation in the Blender depends a lot on the type of mouse you have – 8 00:00:56 --> 00:00:57 a 3 button mouse 9 00:00:58 --> 00:00:59 or a 2 button mouse 10 00:01:00 --> 00:01:04 with a wheel. 11 00:01:05 --> 00:01:12 I am using a 2 button mouse with a wheel for this series of Blender Tutorials. 12 00:01:13 --> 00:01:16 The first action we shall see is Panning a view. 13 00:01:17 --> 00:01:21 There are three ways of doing this using the mouse and the keyboard. 14 00:01:22 --> 00:01:26 First we use the Shift key with the mouse wheel or scroll. 15 00:01:27 --> 00:01:40 Hold shift, press down the mouse-wheel and move the mouse. 16 00:01:41 --> 00:01:47 The scene pans in the direction of the mouse movement both left to right and up and down . 17 00:01:48 --> 00:01:59 Now, hold SHIFT and scroll the mouse wheel up and down. 18 00:02:00 --> 00:02:05 The scene pans up and down. This is the second method of Panning the view. 19 00:02:06 --> 00:02:18 Hold SHIFT and scroll the mouse wheel downwards. The view pans upwards. 20 00:02:19 --> 00:02:32 Hold SHIFT and scroll the mouse wheel upwards. The view pans downwards. 21 00:02:33 --> 00:02:39 Third and last method of Panning the view, is to use the CTRL key with the mouse wheel. 22 00:02:40 --> 00:02:54 Hold CTRL and scroll the mouse wheel. The view pans from left to right and vice versa. 23 00:02:55 --> 00:03:08 Hold Ctrl and scroll the mouse wheel upwards. The view pans to the right. 24 00:03:09 --> 00:03:21 Hold Ctrl and scroll the mouse wheel downwards. The view pans to the left. 25 00:03:22 --> 00:03:28 You can also use your numpad keys to pan the view. 26 00:03:29 --> 00:03:36 Hold ctrl and numpad2 the view pans upwards. 27 00:03:37 --> 00:03:45 Hold Ctrl & numpad 8 the view pans downwards. 28 00:03:46 --> 00:03:54 Hold Ctrl & numpad 4 the view pans to the Left. 29 00:03:55 --> 00:04:02 Hold Ctrl & numpad 6 the view pans to the right. 30 00:04:03 --> 00:04:18 If you are using a laptop, you need to emulate your number keys as numpad. To learn how to emulate numpad, see the tutorial on User Preferences. 31 00:04:19 --> 00:04:23 Right. The next action we shall see is to rotate the view. 32 00:04:24 --> 00:04:32 Press down your mouse wheel and move the mouse in a square pattern. 33 00:04:33 --> 00:04:38 That gives us turntable rotation. 34 00:04:39 --> 00:04:48 You can also use the trackball type of rotation in Blender for little more flexibility over the action of rotation. 35 00:04:49 --> 00:04:56 For this, you need to change the option turn table to trackball in the User Preferences window. 36 00:04:57 --> 00:05:04 To learn how to do this, see the tutorial on User Preferences.</p> 37 00:05:05 --> 00:05:07 Rotating the view can be done either 38 00:05:08 --> 00:05:08 left to right 39 00:05:09 --> 00:05:12 or up and down. 40 00:05:13 --> 00:05:18 Now let us rotate the view left to right. 41 00:05:19 --> 00:05:34 Hold ctrl, alt and scroll the mouse wheel up and down. The view rotates left to right and vice versa. 42 00:05:35 --> 00:05:46 Hold ctrl, alt and scroll the mouse wheel upwards. The view rotates to the left. 43 00:05:47 --> 00:05:59 Hold ctrl, alt and scroll the mouse wheel downwards. The view rotates to the right. 44 00:06:00 --> 00:06:06 You can also use the short cut keys 4 and 6 on the num pad. 45 00:06:07 --> 00:06:15 Press numpad 4 the view rotates to the left. 46 00:06:16 --> 00:06:25 Press num pad 6 the view rotates to the right. 47 00:06:26 --> 00:06:29 Now we rotate the view up and down. 48 00:06:30 --> 00:06:44 Hold Shift, Alt and scroll the mouse wheel up and down. The view rotates up and down 49 00:06:45 --> 00:06:57 Hold Shift, Alt and scroll the mouse wheel upwards. The view rotates downwards. 50 00:06:58 --> 00:07:09 Hold Shift, Alt and scroll the mouse wheel downwards. The view rotates upwards. 51 00:07:10 --> 00:07:15 You can also use the shortcut keys 2 and 8 on the numpad. 52 00:07:16 --> 00:07:22 Press numpad 2 the view rotates upwards. 53 00:07:23 --> 00:07:31 Press numpad 8 the view rotates downwards. 54 00:07:32 --> 00:07:35 Last action is Zooming the view. 55 00:07:36 --> 00:07:42 Scroll the mouse wheel upwards to zoom in. 56 00:07:43 --> 00:07:50 Scroll the mouse wheel downwards to zoom out. Easy isn’t it? 57 00:07:51 --> 00:07:57 For shortcut, use the plus and minus keys on the numpad. 58 00:07:58 --> 00:08:03 Press numpad + to zoom in 59 00:08:04 --> 00:08:09 Press numpad – to zoom out 60 00:08:10 --> 00:08:17 That wraps up our tutorial on Navigating in 3D space within the Blender View port. 61 00:08:18 --> 00:08:26 Now try to pan, rotate and zoom the 3D view. All the best! 62 00:08:27 --> 00:08:36 This Tutorial is created by Project Oscar and supported by the National Mission on Education through ICT. 63 00:08:37 --> 00:08:56 More information on the same is available at the following links oscar.iitb.ac.in, and spoken-tutorial.org/NMEICT-Intro. 64 00:08:57 --> 00:08:58 The Spoken Tutorial Project 65 00:08:59 --> 00:09:02 conducts workshops using spoken tutorials 66 00:09:03 --> 00:09:06 also gives certificates to those who pass an online test. 67 00:09:07 --> 00:09:14 For more details, please write us to contact @ spoken/tutorial.org 68 00:09:15 --> 00:09:16 Thanks for joining us 69 00:09:17 --> 00:09:22 and this is Monisha from IIT Bombay signing off.
