(2012) Blender Absolute Beginner Tutorial: Ep. 2

Episode 2: Manipulating and Moving the 3D View Window

Notes for Mac Users, Notebook Users, etc.:

-If you don’t have a numpad, go to File, User Preferences, Input and check the box that says “Emulate Numpad.” This uses the normal number keys as numpad keys.

-If you don’t have a three button mouse, go to File, User Preferences, Input and check the box that says “Emulate 3 Button Mouse.” This will use Alt+Left Click as the missing middle mouse button.

-To zoom without a scroll wheel: Macbook (Pro) Users can pinch to zoom on the trackpad. Others should try scrolling, using the (Ctrl =) and (Ctrl -) keys, or as a last resort look under File, User Preferences, Input and expand the 3D View and 3D View (Global) categories to set a new or change an existing input for “Zoom View”.

  1. For any newbies watching this video, you can actually switch your mouse buttons to what you're more used to in the user preferences. For example, you can make left click your select button. Hope this helps. ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. These Video's are really good. I tried to learn things from other tutorials but this is just so much better.
    Probe my because you started doing this by yourself not to long ago and exactly understand what a biginner wants to know. Good work.

  3. really useful, me as above-common-user of 3DSMax 2012, it's really jump big to Blender (well I wanna learn it coz I prefer to use Linux wherever I can), so such video is exactly what I needed, thanks a lot :ฤ

  4. I was able to use the pinch gesture to zoom and the two finger drag to pan around but i lost the ability suddenly and i can't figure out how to get it back. I am using the latest version and on a macbook pro
