                     Workspaces: A Workspace refers to the layout or configuration of Editor panels displayed

                     on the computer screen. Blender offers various Editors, each designed for specific functions,
                     which are arranged and selected to streamline specific tasks or operations.
                       Blender also comes with many pre-installed Workspaces to help you with different tasks.
                     Each workspace is designed for a specific type of work.

                 The  Layout  workspace  is the default  workspace  that  provides  an organised  environment for
                 managing  and interacting  with your  3D scene. Modelling  allows you  to  change the shape  of
                 objects using various modelling tools, while Sculpting helps in shaping objects with sculpting tools
                 to add fine details. UV Editing is used for mapping images (textures) onto 3D objects, and Texture
                 Paint enables painting colours and designs directly onto them. If you're working on movement,
                 the Animation workspace is designed for making objects move and creating animations. When

                 finalising a project, the Rendering workspace lets you view and check the final output. For advanced
                 editing, Compositing allows you to combine images, make adjustments, and work with render
                 data. Lastly, the Scripting workspace is useful for writing and running Python scripts to extend
                 Blender's capabilities and automate tasks.




                           CUSTOMISING WORKSPACES

                 Blender’s workspaces are highly customisable, allowing you to change, resize, or collapse editor
                 screens. While it might seem tricky at first, learning how to customise workspaces can improve
                 your workflow and make navigating Blender easier.
