User Interface of blender
1.Splash Screen:-
When starting Blender, the splash screen
appears in the center of the window. It contains options create new projects or
open recently opened blend-files. To close the splash screen and start a new
project, click anywhere outside the splash screen (but inside the Blender
Window) or press Esc.To reopen the splash click on the Blender icon in the
Top bar and select Splash Screen.The upper part of the splash screen
contains the splash image with a lot of key information overlaid.
- Title:-Besides the Blender icon and text, it shows the Blender version. e.g. the current version is 2.80.
- Date:-At the top-right corner, you can see the date on that Blender version was compiled.
- Hash:-The Git Hash. This can be useful to give to support personnel, when diagnosing a problem.
- Branch:-Optional branch name.
- Interactive Region:-The interactive region is the bottom half of the splash screen.
- New File:-Start a new project based on a template.
- Recent Files:-Your most recently opened blend-files. This gives quick and easy access to your recent projects.
- Open:-Allows opening an existing blend-file.
- Recover Last Session:-Blender will try to recover the last session based on temporary files.
- Links:-Links official web pages, the same could be found in the Help Menu of the Topbar.
2.Window Interface:-
After starting Blender and closing
the Splash
Screen the Blender window should look something similar to the another
software;
3.User interface:-
Blender's user
interface incorporates the following concepts:
- Editing modes:-The two primary modes of work are Object Mode and Edit Mode, which are toggled with the Tab key. Object mode is used to manipulate individual objects as a unit, while Edit mode is used to manipulate the actual object data. For example, Object Mode can be used to move, scale, and rotate entire polygon meshes, and Edit Mode can be used to manipulate the individual vertices of a single mesh.
- Hotkey usage:-Most of the commands are accessible via hotkeys. There are also comprehensive GUI menus.
- Numeric input:-Numeric buttons can be "dragged" to change their value directly without the need to aim at a particular widget, as well as being set using the keyboard. Both sliders and number buttons can be constrained to various step sizes with modifiers like the Ctrl and Shift keys.
- Workspace management:-The Blender GUI builds its own tiled windowing system on top of one or multiple windows provided by the underlying platform. One platform window is divided into sections and subsections that can be of any type of Blender's views or window-types. The user can define multiple layouts of such Blender windows, called screens, and switch quickly between them by selecting from a menu or with keyboard shortcuts. Each window-type's own GUI elements can be controlled with the same tools that manipulate 3D view.
4.Screens:-
Screens are essentially pre-defined window
layouts. Blender’s flexibility with areas lets you create customized working
environments for different tasks such as modeling, animating, and scripting. It
is often useful to quickly switch between different environments within the
same file.
Default Screens
- 3D View Full: A full screen 3D View, used to preview your scene.
- Animation: Making actors and other objects move about, change shape or color, etc.
- Compositing: Combining different parts of a scene (e.g. background, actors, special effects) and filters (e.g. color correction).
- Default: The default layout used by Blender for new files. It is useful for modeling new objects.
- Game Logic: Planning and programming of games within Blender.
- Motion Tracking: Used for motion tracking with the movie clip editor.
- Scripting: Documenting your work and/or writing custom scripts to automate Blender.
- UV Editing: Flattening a projection of an object mesh in 2D to control how a texture maps to the surface.
- Video Editing: Cutting and editing of animation sequences.
5.Areas:-
The application window is always a rectangle on your
desktop. It is divided up into a number of re-sizable areas. An area contains
the workspace for a particular type of editor, like a 3D View Editor, or an
Outliner.
6.Properties Region:-
To open and close the Properties Region
panel, use the N key.
