Welcome to Vanilla Blender. I figured before we get into Bonsai we can go
2
00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:11,760
through some of the functionality that's native to just Blender and then later
3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:17,880
just jump into Bonsai. When you open Blender you'll see three default objects
4
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:24,480
here a light a cube and a camera and those are outlined here in the outliner
5
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:33,120
on the side. To start I'm just gonna delete the camera and that light. Select
6
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:41,080
the cube. You can zoom in and out with the middle mouse button. To move the cube
7
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:47,320
click on this tool here and it'll come up with these axes and you can just
8
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,400
click and drag on them and start moving them in a certain direction and then you
9
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:57,320
can as you're doing that you can type in a distance so three meters again you
10
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:04,560
can do four meters and it moves the cube in that dimension. You can also if you
11
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:09,840
hover over any tool you'll see that there's a quick key that shows up the
12
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:16,080
this instance it's G so if you had the select tool here and you click the cube
13
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:22,120
and type G it'll start moving it and again you can lock it in the X Y or Z
14
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:31,920
and then type in a certain distance. As you can see we move the cube up here but
15
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:39,620
as I click on it and I try to zoom in on it it zooms to the origin here. I like to
16
00:01:39,620 --> 00:01:45,320
change the preferences so it actually zooms to where my mouse is at so in
17
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:54,160
order to do that go to preferences and navigation and zoom to mouse position so
18
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,919
then it'll actually zoom to wherever your mouse is at which is very quite
19
00:01:58,919 --> 00:02:07,800
helpful. The other helpful thing I like using is like to turn on statistics that
20
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:14,400
tells you more information about what you're selected and that can be here and
21
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:20,600
click on statistics you see over here it's like the cube it tells you a little
22
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:25,000
more information about it like the vertices edges and faces and various
23
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:34,240
triangles. There's another way and I actually prefer this way is to turn on
24
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:40,160
scene statistics from the preferences here and it shows that I've actually done
25
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:46,520
the slower right corner so I prefer that one a little better so I'm going to
26
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,560
just turn the other one off.
