The introduction to 3D modeling in Blender covers essential navigation, transformation tools, the distinction between object and edit modes, and advanced non-destructive workflows using modifiers.

Navigation and Basic Operations

  • Fundamental Controls: Navigation involves using the middle mouse button to orbit, scrolling to zoom, and holding Shift + middle mouse to pan. Objects are selected with a left-click, and multiple objects can be selected by holding Shift.
  • Transformations: Three primary tools for moving objects are G (Grab), R (Rotate), and S (Scale). These movements can be constrained to specific axes by pressing X, Y, or Z during the operation.
  • Management: Users can add primitive mesh objects (like cubes or spheres) using Shift + A. Objects are deleted with X or the Delete key, and everything can be selected or deselected using A or double-tapping A, respectively.

Edit Mode and Mesh Components

  • The Tab Key:
