First meeting with Blender

 

    I am writing a book on blender this is first chapter.I want to know your suggestions.

I think you all know how to install blender. If no then go to www.blender.org and download latest release of blender. After installing double click on in and follow instructions.

Now you have installed blender open it by double click on blender icon.

Wow you installed blender.

Now you thing what to do with this a cube in a centre and some buttons.

Now you can see in the picture below.

1-Camera- This is the camera how you see the image after render. Wit out camera you cannot render any image. To see how your image look like in camera press ‘0’ from number pad. Now you can see this cube from different angle. This angle will come after rendering.

2-Light source- This is light source. Consider 3D modelling program as a real world just like you cannot see anything without light, like this blender also cannot see without light, you will see only dark image if there is no light. And lighting is the best tool to make image realistic.

3-Object- This is your object which will give shape to your imagination. Default it is cube but you can add more object.

4-Object tools- These are the tools to change property of your object . We will talk about it later.

5-Render property – This is render property window , here you can set how your scene will look.

6-Shortcut Bar- I call it shortcut because it help you to find many thing very fast and help you to navigate and tweak.

Now you know where you are. Press zero from number pad and then press F12 from function key.

Hurray you have done your first render. Zero is to see what you are render and F12 to render.

You rendered a cube image with default colour of object and background (world).

If you want to save this image press F3 and choose location and save it.

Now you can render a image and save a image and you know why these all stuff is there.

Here is your first rendered image.

Now you can add many other objects by pressing key Shift+A.  and render those like this.

Have fun for one hour if you are following my blog then wait for next blog.

please comment and tell me your opinion.
