Getting started

To get started, download and install Blender 8x from the Blender website. Once you've installed Blender 8x, open it up and create a new project.

The Blender interface can be a bit overwhelming at first, but don't worry, we'll go over everything you need to know in detail in the next chapter.

Creating your first 3D model

In this chapter, we'll create our first 3D model, a simple cube. To do this, select the Cube object from the Add menu in the 3D Viewport.

Once you've added the cube to the scene, you can use the Transform tools to move, rotate, and scale it.

To move the cube, select it and then click and drag the Move tool in the 3D Viewport.

To rotate the cube, select it and then click and drag the Rotate tool in the 3D Viewport.

To scale the cube, select it and then click and drag the Scale tool in the 3D Viewport.

Once you're happy with the position, rotation, and scale of the cube, you can start adding detail to it.

To do this, we'll use the Edit Mode. To enter Edit Mode, select the cube and then press the Tab key.

In Edit Mode, you can select individual vertices, edges, and faces of the cube and move, rotate, and scale them.

To select a vertex, click on it with the left mouse button.

To select an edge, click on it with the left mouse button while holding down the Shift key.

To select a face, click on it with the left mouse button while holding down the Ctrl key.

Once you've selected the vertices, edges, or faces you want to edit, you can use the Transform tools to move, rotate, and scale them.

To move the selected vertices, edges, or faces, click and drag the Move tool in the 3D Viewport.

To rotate the selected vertices, edges, or faces, click and drag the Rotate tool in the 3D Viewport.

To scale the selected vertices, edges, or faces, click and drag the Scale tool in the 3D Viewport.

Once you're happy with the shape of the cube, you can exit Edit Mode by pressing the Tab key again.

Congratulations! You've now created your first 3D model with Blender 8x. This is just the beginning of your journey into the world of 3D modeling. With practice, you'll be able to create stunning 3D models of all kinds.
