Post by Chimpow » Wed Mar 24, 2010 12:01 am

This is a small tutorial for the complete beginner to start understanding 3D graphic design using the absolutely free, open-source 3d graphics creation and animation suite Blender3d. You can grab a copy of it at: http://www.Blender3D.org.

1. First and foremost your going to want to download and install the program.

2. Once installed your going to want to click File>New see "fig0".

5. You'll now see small dots at each corner of the cube, These are called "vertices" .

6. Select one of the "vertices" then click and hold the right mouse button, move it 1 inch to the right and let it go. Now as you move the mouse you'll see that you've grabbed one of the corners, click again to set it down. Do the same with the other corners.

As you see you've transformed the cube, Congrats, your now a Graphics Designer!!

Look at the menu at the top of the window and click Render>Current frame to see a preview of your work.

More soon if anyone enjoys these.
