You will be setup and ready for the rest of the section.

• We're excited to see how you will change.
• We'll be exploring the fundamentals of Blender.
• Vertices: points in space.
• Edges: lines between vertices.
• Faces: closed polygons of edges.
• By the end you'll be making simple placeholder assets.
• What's coming up in this section

• Your files will come in a Zip file ready for extraction to your computer.

Michael goes through some basic modelling concepts on a whiteboard.

• Learn about Object Mode and Edit Mode.
• Naming your meshes.
• Manipulate Vertices, Edges and Faces.
• Understand their relationship.

Here Michael shows you how to make a basic wedge shape.

• How to control your model with more precision.
• Blender's co-ordinate system.
• Co-ordinates are always listed as (X,Y,Z).

• We’ll take a closer look at pivot points.
• How to change them.
• Things to watch out for.

• Learn about Duplication.
• Create one mesh from multiple objects.

• What is Version Control?
• Why you would want to do this.
• How to change Blender's Save Versions.
• Your Other Options

• Explore Wireframe Mode.
• How to merge 2 vertices into one.
• Why you would want to do this.
• How to control the sensitivity of the merge.

• "Normal" means 90-degrees
• Normals are vectors at 90-degrees to the faces.
• Think of them like hairs.
• Hairs should grow outwards!

• Learn about Normals.
• Why they're are important.
• How to fix them if they have gone wrong.

• What exuding is.
• Planning your model.
• How it applies to Faces, Edges and Vertices.

• Learn how to use the Inset Tool.
• Using the Outset Option. (Updated 06/02/2018)

Michael asks a quick question for your feedback on keyboard shortcuts.

• What edge loops are.
• How to select an edge loop.
• Show the power of loop cut.
• How to control the slide function.

• Learn more ways to select your geometry.
• Border select.
• Circle select.
• Updated 25/10/2017

• Learn another way to constrain movement.
• Using the Snapping Tool.
• How to snap objects into place.
• Control whether or not you merge vertices.

Here we combine the knowledge we have learnt so far to complete an extra challenge.

• Your first modifier: The Array Modifier
• They're non destructive… Until you apply them!
• How to separate your geometry.
• Updated (15/09/2017)

• Build on your knowledge of Loop Cutting.
• How Face Loops are similar to Edge Loops.

• What subdivision is.
• The dangers of subdivision.

• A useful export checklist.
• Introducing left and right handed coordinates.
• Demonstrating an import into Unity.
• Where do you want to export to first?

• Editing an object and transforming an object can look the same.
• Transforms aren’t applied by default.
• Not applying transforms can impact animation, particles systems, physics, bevelling, modifiers….
• (Updated 31/12/2017)

• We now have a lot of basic modelling tools to hand.
• It’s time to re-enforce our modelling knowledge.

• Well done getting this far.
• Please remember to share in the Discussions.
• Try making your own boat, house and tree.
• Start the next section now!
