My Personal Blender Column

Blender simple teaching

foreword

In this chapter, I will explain some techniques for complex modeling

Basic attribute setting

choose

Cycle selection: Alt+left button

We create a new sphere, enter edit mode, press Alt + left button

You can figure it out yourself. I haven't figured it out for the time being, but it feels like it has better selection ability than C4D.

perspective selection

lock object

Edit mode 123 shortcut keys

Press / (left of Shift on the right, right of the <> button) to lock the object

Select the object in object mode first, and then only select the object in edit mode.

Select Similar, Length: Shift+G

This way we can select edges with the same length.

Model deformation tool (pinch mud)

Add a custom model

In addition to directly moving the point, line and surface, we can also generate corresponding deformation by adding tools

Inset surface: I

Extrusion: E

insert text

input Chinese

But it can’t be entered directly, it needs to be written and pasted elsewhere

Circumcision: Ctrl+R

Effect

Subdivision surfaces. Ctrl+2

plane to volume

Add the Solidify modifier

effect

cursor

Basic cursor operation: Shift+right button

Quickly locate the surface of the object

Fix the cursor to the geometric center of the object: Shift+S

quick favorites

Put the commonly used shortcut keys into the favorites without modifying the key habits

Association modification

Associated modification method.

• Multi-select objects, put the main object at the end
• Apply linkage so that all other objects will sync with the last master object

For example, the copy modifier
