So that's G for move, followed by zed to move in the z axis. I'm going to move this image slightly in the z-axis. Press and hold shift for fine adjustment. And let's drag our mouse to scale in the image. And you can now see that we have a faint dotted line between our mouse cursor on the image. The next thing we need to do is to scale this reference image. You now need to navigate to the reference images folder in your files folder for the project. Let's scroll down to Image and choose reference. And we're going to load the first reference image. The shortcut for that is Option or Alt Z.

So to do this, you're going to activate x-ray mode. We need to see the reference images through our object. That will make each of the grid squares now ten centimeters. So I'll go to the viewport overlays tab down to scale. I'm also going to change the grid spacing which is currently set to meters. And then I'm going to bring the object back into view while it's still selected using view and frame selected. I'll go ahead and close up the transform menu now that's keyboard shortcut. And I'll change the zed value, which is the height to 9.1 centimeters. I'll change the y-value, which is the length to 20.5 centimeters. And I'm going to change the x value, which is the width to eight centimeters. I've already worked out the dimensions for the toy truck. We're now going to use the cube to scale our reference images. And on the units, I'm going to change the length from meters to centimeters. Let's head over to the same properties tab. So we need to change the default units of measurement that blend a little joke which is meters to centimeters. Now I'm going to be modeling the toy truck to real-world dimensions. So I'll left-click, select the camera, hold Shift, left-click select the light, keyboard shortcut X, and I'll choose Delete. I'm just going to clean up the same before we start. Adding the Reference Images: Okay, let's get started In this lesson, we will load the reference images for our model. So let's jump straight in and get started.Ģ. By following this class, you will see how easy it is to get great results out to a blender and have the knowledge and confidence to start making your own 3D models used in this fantastic software.

This will be part of a series of classes in which we will go on to shared at textures and render our model I0. In this class, we will be modelling a toy truck using some of the basic modelling tools found inside the blender to 0.9.

Introduction: Hello, my name is Richard and welcome to my very first class. In further classes we will go on to shade, texture and render our toy truck so please look out for them when they become available!ġ. Note - The toy truck model is broken down into a series of classes.

Reference images are attached to the Class Project!īy the end of the class you should have the confidence and knowledge to start making your own models and be on the road to 3D greatness! Have Fun!!

You should be able to follow along with most of the steps using an older version however I would recommend you get the latest version for the project if your hardware will allow, it's free so why not! I have created this model using Blender 2.9+. You can get by without one but I would advise you use one to follow along. I will be demonstrating the class using a basic three buttoned scroll wheel mouse. This would make a great model to show your friends, use in your portfolio, use as a design study or simply as a fun toy to make. This class is for beginners who are familiar with navigating inside of Blender and who want a project to get started with. We will go through the steps of adding reference images, editing geometry, applying modifiers, organising our work and building on each stage until we get to the final result. There’s no complex geometry or difficult modelling techniques this is simply Blender made easy. I will guide you through the steps needed to finish the toy truck model and show you how easy it can be to get great results. In this Skillshare class we will be modelling a toy truck using some of the basic modelling tools found inside of Blender! Do you want a model to be proud of, show off to your friends or have in your portfolio for potential employers. There are lots of 3D models around but only a select few grab attention.
