                       ▶   Blender is an open-source 3D creation suite used by animators, game developers, visual effects artists and
                         designers worldwide.
                       ▶   The Layout workspace is the default workspace that provides an organised environment for managing and
                         interacting with your 3D scene.
                       ▶   Blender provides three primary navigation techniques: Orbit, Pan and Zoom.
                       ▶   Blender’s workspaces are highly customisable, allowing you to change, resize or collapse editor screens.
                       ▶   The Toolbar in Blender allows you to access various tools, with buttons for each tool displayed on the left side of
                         the interface.
                       ▶   Modelling in Blender is the process of creating and shaping 3D objects.
                       ▶   Blender has a powerful feature called Nodes, which are visual tools used to manipulate materials, geometry
                         and compositing effects.
                       ▶   Shading in Blender refers to the process of creating and applying materials to 3D objects, giving them realistic
                         or stylised appearances.
                       ▶   Mapping is the process of projecting a 2D texture onto a 3D model by unwrapping its surface into a flat layout.
                       ▶   HDRI (High Dynamic Range Image) lighting is used in Blender to create realistic environments by providing
                         natural lighting and reflections.

                                                       HANDS-ON PROJECT

                     PROJECT 1: A Bot

                     Objective:

                         Model a realistic 3D robot using Blender tools such as scale, rotate, move and the mirror
                         modifier.

                         Add intricate details like arms, legs, antennas and eyes to create a complete robot.

                         Apply materials and textures to give the bot a unique appearance.

                         Animate the robot to move along the scene using keyframes.
                         Add HDRI and render the final animation with a polished environment.

                     Step-by-Step Instructions:
                     1.  Set Up the Workplane

                             Open Blender and start a new project.

                             Align the front of the 3D model with the -Y axis to maintain consistency.

                                                                                                 Introduction to Blender  195
