00:00:00.312 --> 00:00:00.936
Hello,

00:00:01.456 --> 00:00:03.691
welcome to another video

00:00:03.692 --> 00:00:05.356
of the Blender Animation Workflow Tutorials.

00:00:06.656 --> 00:00:09.047
In today's video, I'm going to go over

00:00:09.048 --> 00:00:10.400
Animation Navigation

00:00:10.868 --> 00:00:12.168
and Manipulators.

00:00:13.468 --> 00:00:15.911
The first question of someone

00:00:15.912 --> 00:00:18.304
who's starting to use Blender is,

00:00:18.980 --> 00:00:20.592
how to move in the Viewport.

00:00:21.424 --> 00:00:23.036
It's super simple.

00:00:23.868 --> 00:00:26.000
You press Middle Mouse

00:00:26.468 --> 00:00:27.612
to orbit around.

00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:31.979
You press Shift Middle Mouse to pan around.

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:34.580
You press Ctrl

00:00:35.256 --> 00:00:36.348
Middle Mouse

00:00:36.868 --> 00:00:38.999
to zoom in or zoom out. You can also use

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:40.456
a Mouse Wheel if you want.

00:00:41.756 --> 00:00:43.991
For selecting object is also really simple.

00:00:45.136 --> 00:00:46.904
Press left click,

00:00:48.048 --> 00:00:50.180
and if you click outside that object,

00:00:50.804 --> 00:00:51.948
will unselect.

00:00:55.536 --> 00:00:57.355
Let's say you want to select everything

00:00:57.356 --> 00:00:59.436
in your scene, you press A.

00:01:00.424 --> 00:01:03.492
You can press A a few times quickly,

00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:05.936
it will deselect.

00:01:07.080 --> 00:01:10.200
Or you can go for Alt A,

00:01:10.668 --> 00:01:12.280
and it will also deselect.

00:01:14.100 --> 00:01:16.179
Now if you want to select multiple objects,

00:01:16.180 --> 00:01:19.091
just go select the first one,

00:01:19.092 --> 00:01:20.704
then press Shift and left click

00:01:21.068 --> 00:01:23.979
to select another one.

00:01:23.980 --> 00:01:26.111
What you want to unselect? Is the same,

00:01:26.112 --> 00:01:28.555
press Shift and left click, and you will unselect

00:01:28.556 --> 00:01:30.999
that object. You can also use

00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:33.547
Selection tools in the Viewport as long as

00:01:33.548 --> 00:01:35.368
they are selected in the T Panel.

00:01:35.836 --> 00:01:37.811
This case the one selected is Box Select.

00:01:37.812 --> 00:01:39.891
So if I left click in the Viewport,

00:01:40.880 --> 00:01:42.492
I will get Box Select.

00:01:43.012 --> 00:01:45.299
You can go into the T Panel,

00:01:45.300 --> 00:01:48.367
you press left click and you keep it pressed,

00:01:48.368 --> 00:01:49.824
you will get the list of the tools

00:01:50.292 --> 00:01:53.047
you can use, in this case Box, Circle, and Lasso Select.

00:01:55.804 --> 00:01:57.624
Let's say, you're on another tool,

00:01:58.092 --> 00:02:00.848
now if I press left click, it's going

00:02:01.004 --> 00:02:02.667
to move everything. It is not going to create

00:02:02.668 --> 00:02:04.592
any Box Select.

00:02:04.956 --> 00:02:07.399
So for creating Box Select, I will need

00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.103
to press B, which is the shortcut

00:02:10.104 --> 00:02:11.248
for accessing that tool.

00:02:12.236 --> 00:02:14.992
And then I press B and I get Box Select.

00:02:15.980 --> 00:02:18.111
If you want to know the shortcut,

00:02:18.112 --> 00:02:21.648
you can just go, left click, and just stay there,

00:02:21.856 --> 00:02:23.468
and a Pop-up will appear

00:02:23.936 --> 00:02:26.848
telling you which shortcut you can use.

00:02:28.512 --> 00:02:31.267
Let's talk now about how to manipulate objects

00:02:31.268 --> 00:02:32.568
in the Viewport.

00:02:33.504 --> 00:02:37.091
We have three main tools, which is Move,

00:02:37.092 --> 00:02:38.548
Rotate and Scale.

00:02:38.756 --> 00:02:41.355
It's pretty simple.  Move, of course,

00:02:41.356 --> 00:02:42.500
you can move the axis.

00:02:43.124 --> 00:02:45.047
You can use the square over here

00:02:45.048 --> 00:02:47.647
to move into axis at the same time,

00:02:47.648 --> 00:02:50.247
and you can use the white circle

00:02:50.248 --> 00:02:51.080
to move in the Viewport axis.

00:02:51.756 --> 00:02:54.355
With Rotate, pretty much the same.

00:02:54.356 --> 00:02:55.500
You can click the axis,

00:02:56.124 --> 00:02:58.255
you can click the white circle to rotate.

00:02:58.256 --> 00:02:59.556
In the Viewport axis,

00:03:00.180 --> 00:03:01.636
you can click in the middle

00:03:02.104 --> 00:03:03.404
to get free rotate.

00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.524
You can also use a Scale and is the same.

00:03:11.048 --> 00:03:14.999
Blender has also this really cool way

00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.080
of manipulating objects in the Viewport.

00:03:17.704 --> 00:03:19.524
So if you want to translate an object,

00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:21.291
you don't need to select it and move it

00:03:21.292 --> 00:03:23.424
in the axis, you can press G,

00:03:24.256 --> 00:03:26.647
and you can grab it and move around.

00:03:26.648 --> 00:03:28.780
For example, press G,

00:03:29.404 --> 00:03:30.236
X,

00:03:30.756 --> 00:03:33.355
and you will move it on the x-axis.

00:03:33.356 --> 00:03:36.423
You can press G and Y and you will move it

00:03:36.424 --> 00:03:40.168
on the y-axis.  You can press G, Shift Z,

00:03:40.636 --> 00:03:43.391
and then you will move it in the two axis

00:03:43.392 --> 00:03:44.536
that are not Z.

00:03:46.824 --> 00:03:50.724
You can also like press R for rotation.

00:03:52.024 --> 00:03:53.947
Will rotate on the Viewport if you just press once,

00:03:53.948 --> 00:03:57.224
And you can press R R, so twice,

00:03:57.900 --> 00:03:59.980
and then you will be free rotate.

00:04:00.448 --> 00:04:03.255
You can press R, X, the same way,

00:04:03.256 --> 00:04:05.803
can press the axis you want to rotate around.

00:04:07.104 --> 00:04:08.455
With the Scale is pretty much the same.

00:04:08.456 --> 00:04:12.199
You can press S and then X, you can

00:04:12.200 --> 00:04:13.812
scale on the X.

00:04:14.436 --> 00:04:16.411
Or you can play the scale and you will scale it

00:04:17.504 --> 00:04:18.804
on the Viewport axis.

00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:22.548
Three shortcuts we use all the time are,

00:04:22.756 --> 00:04:26.655
Alt G for resting the location,

00:04:26.656 --> 00:04:29.568
Alt R for resting the rotation

00:04:30.192 --> 00:04:31.180
and Alt S for resting the scale.

00:04:31.700 --> 00:04:34.091
Let's move on now to the Manipulator Orientation

00:04:34.092 --> 00:04:36.068
and Pivot Point.

00:04:36.900 --> 00:04:38.823
If we want to change the Orientation,

00:04:38.824 --> 00:04:41.267
we go to this menu over here

00:04:41.268 --> 00:04:43.556
and we can change it to Local,

00:04:44.804 --> 00:04:47.767
change it to Normal, can change to Gimbal,

00:04:47.768 --> 00:04:48.548
to the View,

00:04:49.224 --> 00:04:51.979
to the 3D Cursor, which is this guy over here.

00:04:52.812 --> 00:04:55.203
You can also change the Pivot Point

00:04:55.204 --> 00:04:56.556
by going to this menu over here.

00:04:57.024 --> 00:04:59.155
I can change it to the Bounding Box Centre,

00:05:00.924 --> 00:05:03.004
we can change it to the 3D Cursor.

00:05:03.212 --> 00:05:05.811
The 3D cursor is this floating tool

00:05:05.812 --> 00:05:08.255
we have over here. We can move by just

00:05:08.256 --> 00:05:10.180
pressing Shift and right click.

00:05:10.648 --> 00:05:12.311
We can put it whenever we want

00:05:12.312 --> 00:05:13.404
in the 3D space.

00:05:14.392 --> 00:05:16.368
It will move from that point.

00:05:16.992 --> 00:05:18.499
We can also change into Individual Origin.

00:05:18.500 --> 00:05:21.411
For example, if I rotate now,

00:05:21.412 --> 00:05:23.699
it will rotate from the Individual Origin,

00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:26.404
Medium Point,

00:05:27.080 --> 00:05:29.679
and Active Element. We will take

00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:30.824
the last one selected.

00:05:32.748 --> 00:05:35.191
And last but not least, I'm going to talk about

00:05:35.192 --> 00:05:37.635
moving the viewport camera around.

00:05:37.636 --> 00:05:40.235
For that, we use the Grave Accent,

00:05:40.236 --> 00:05:42.991
which is the key that is below ESC,

00:05:42.992 --> 00:05:45.435
at least in the keyboard area.

00:05:45.436 --> 00:05:47.255
But I know in different regions, the keyboards are different.

00:05:47.256 --> 00:05:49.336
So it might be

00:05:49.700 --> 00:05:51.000
in another position.

00:05:51.780 --> 00:05:53.911
This is a Pie menu. I will explain

00:05:53.912 --> 00:05:56.303
more about Pie menu in the future.

00:05:56.304 --> 00:05:56.668
For now,

00:05:57.448 --> 00:05:59.112
it's just super simple to use.

00:05:59.580 --> 00:06:01.399
So you press the button, and then,

00:06:01.400 --> 00:06:03.791
you go Bottom, if you want to go to a bottom,

00:06:03.792 --> 00:06:05.299
press Right if you want to roll to the right,

00:06:05.300 --> 00:06:07.692
so it's fairly simple.

00:06:08.368 --> 00:06:10.812
You can also use a numpad.

00:06:10.968 --> 00:06:12.892
For 5, you can switch between perspective

00:06:13.100 --> 00:06:14.504
and orthographic.

00:06:15.180 --> 00:06:15.856
Press 1,

00:06:16.324 --> 00:06:17.936
you can go to the front.

00:06:18.404 --> 00:06:20.536
With 3, you can go to the right.

00:06:21.524 --> 00:06:24.799
With 7, you can go to top,

00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:26.724
with 9, you switch between

00:06:27.400 --> 00:06:28.856
top, bottom.

00:06:29.324 --> 00:06:31.611
Or if you are in front, you will go to back,

00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:34.367
and if you're in right, you will go to left,

00:06:34.368 --> 00:06:36.136
just pressing 9.

00:06:36.968 --> 00:06:39.047
If you have a camera in your scene,

00:06:42.636 --> 00:06:45.079
by pressing 0 in the numpad,

00:06:45.080 --> 00:06:46.380
you will go into the Camera View.

00:06:47.004 --> 00:06:48.980
Right now, if you try to move

00:06:50.124 --> 00:06:50.800
or zoom in,

00:06:51.736 --> 00:06:54.700
it will work as a 2D Pan or 2D Zoom.

00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:57.455
So if you want to move this view,

00:06:57.456 --> 00:07:00.003
you have to go into the End Panel,

00:07:00.004 --> 00:07:01.148
and select "Lock Camera to View".

00:07:01.980 --> 00:07:02.604
Now,

00:07:02.812 --> 00:07:04.580
we can move the camera with a view.

00:07:07.336 --> 00:07:09.779
And that's it for today's video.

00:07:09.780 --> 00:07:11.755
thank you so much for watching.

00:07:11.756 --> 00:07:12.536
See you in the next one.
