b-1040-BlenderNavigation Navigation is the first skill you must master if you are going to be proficient in Blender. Basic screen orientation (my video) Navigational Orientation – jkh_video
b-1030 User interface – Blender Video The UI is made up of menus, viewports, and panels. ========================== workspaces (Top Menus) =========================
It is easy to overlook measurements when you first use Blender. But at some point you will reach the level that you need to know precisely wher and what size your objects are.
Blender uses Templates to define how the screen is setup when a new blender file is opened. As an alternative you can use a Basic Layout blend file for much the same purpose.
These templates only contain the layout of the screen, not the settings, such as the world background. This is very important to remember if you want to open screens with specific backgrounds, and other settings that are not a part of the Template.
Note that user created templates will not be included when Blender updates are generated, they must be manually copied to the folders in the new versions. They will then be included in the templates for that version.
1. Copy existing Blender template FOLDER. The hardest part of the process is finding the folder to copy. Location Example – C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 2.91\2.91\scripts\startup\bl_app_templates_system
3. copy one of the existing FOLDERS and rename.
4. re-open Blender and in File-New select you new template you just created. 5. After making you changes to to Files – Default and save you new template. Make sure it asks if you want to save the template or you changes will not be saved.
This is one of the key tenet of Blender. You can take a few minutes to do learn to do something right or you can spend a few hours latter trying to remember where you saw how to do it.
Blender is too overrwhelming to try to remember it all.
Probably the most import reason for making the tutorial is that it is the best way to really learn the subject.
General 1. do not make video with only a music background and no voice descriptions. 2, avoid Bright backgrounds, very hard on eyes. 3 . use large cursor.
4. avoid using ‘press here’ etc. 5. keep to a single subject and simple.
They made one mistake. They do not tell you what editor they are using!. After looking closely at the screen I could see that they were using Snagit, which I happen to already own and recommend for simple editing.
Recording the Video
Creating and Using Tutorials Make sure the video recorder you use has a restart.
Make sure you identify any external tools you need to make the tutorial. Wait a week before releasing the tutorial and watch it. Guaranteed you will find errors.
