Ok guys, now it’s time to apply our train toy with basic material and texture. This tutorial is very basic. I just want to show and make you comfortable to use the material and texture panel. Because if you’re a beginner with blender, you probably will get lost where all this tool place.
First we will add material on first torus on the project scene. Go to properties editor panel, click on material slot and choose yellow on diffuse color. Also change the the specular intensity to 0.8 or 1. Don’t forget to rename the material to yellow. Continue reading How to Apply Basic Material and Texture in Blender 2.77→
Hello guys, we meet again!. I’m so exciting right now because this article will give you a real project tutorial!. Well, not actually a real, real project, but I want to show you how to build thing only using blender 3d basic objects. In this case a train toy for kids.
But, I will not go to give you instruction step by step, because that’s gonna make this post a very long post, and you probably get bored or your eyes starting to ache because staring in the computer too long. Beside, I will provide you a video tutorial in the end of this post. Below is the image reference that I use for this tutorial.
Sometimes when you working on a scene in blender, let’s say a landscape or environment scene, you can create a lot of object. And it’s hard to focus on one object when other object block your view. It also make your computer slower. That’s why you need to make an object focus, hide, isolate, zoom, or using a layer trick.
Hide Object.
This is probably the most method I use when too much object and only want to focus on one specifically. I have a picture below with sphere selected and want to only focus on it. What I did is selected other object beside sphere and then go to object —> show/hide —> hide selected or only press H shortcut. If you want to display the rest of the objects, just press Alt + H.
When you working on a project, you want to know how How to Make Object Snap in Blender. Because it’s an important tool, you’ll get headache if you can’t figure it out. Here’s several approach that you can use:
Object Snap.
Increment.
One of the way to move object in precision is Snap Increment. If you use this method, you will move object every 1 unit value.
Try create a plane and a cube, make sure you active the snap increment tool like the picture above show, and now move the cube along x axis. You will see the move in 1 unit value, right?. And if you want to change the object move to 2 unit, you can change it on properties panel ( N ) —> Display, and set grid floor: scale to 2.
