Blender 3d basics: an intuitive approach

Edit mode is where you add the details to the model.

You will need to see the 3D model from the different angles. This is where I explain the difference in the different angles that you can see the object with in Blender. 

Others start with this video first. But I waited until you are slightly used to the interface before explaining just what is where. I believe the understanding would have better depth this way.

Edit mode has different tools to manipulate vertices better. This is the theory of all those. There are demos for hands on experiences.

Proportional editing is quite powerful. This video shows just one of so many applications of proportional editing. And its easy to follow along as well.

This video shows the process with which you can create a pawn or any symmetrical chess piece. Its pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it.

In this demo the above concepts are applied to create a fantasy sword.

We will quickly block out a pumpkin face in this one.... It will utilize most of the tools present in the edit mode....

We will see how to use modifiers for the first time here.... While modelling something basic- a spoon, or maybe more.

The what? why? and how? of materials is covered in this video in brief.

We will have our first material study here. This will be the first time we will see how light interacts with different kind of materials.

Here we will see the  basics of textures and UV mapping. Also some masking.

This is the final project in which we will apply all the things we learnt in the previous videos to make a final model. Only if you have practiced and revised those tools shown above can do this on your own easily without the video.

This video gives an idea of what to aim after you have completed the final project. This challenge is much more difficult to make than the final project but it uses the same principles. I hope you attempt this challenge and learn something from it.
