Concepts on the Use of Software

(Commands, Menu, etc.)

What I Need to Know (Objective/s)

This module contains the lesson in Arts and one of this is the Sculpture
that is specifically concerned with expressive three- dimension form.
After completing this module, you are expected to:
1. Manifests understanding of concepts on the use of software (commands,
menu, etc.).

What’s New

Product designers use accessible material and technologies when creating prototypes
or the sample of working models. Since a good design can move the product off the shelves,
art elements and design principles are applied.
The shapes and colors or your design should have a visual impact on your target
market. It helps encourage the buyers to buy rather than restrain the buyer to use your product.
It also looks presentable when there is harmony in the letters, shapes, and colors.
A free software that you can use to create model of your product is Blender.

Blender- is a free open source 3D creation suite that supports an entire 3D pipeline from
objects modelling to texturing, rigging and animating to rendering, compositing and even video
editing. Blender can also be used to create interactive application, including web-based ones.

Blender is a cross-platform software that runs on Windows, Linux and macOS platforms
equally well.

Blender starts up showing the default screen, which is separated into five areas
containing the Editors listed below:

1. Information Editor
2. 3-D View
3. Timeline
4. Outliner
5. Properties

Info (blue), 3D View (yellow), Outliner (red), Properties (green) and Timeline (purple)
Each Editor has a region which is its main part, a header at its top or bottom which
contains the menus and commonly used tools, panels that have collapsible options like
buttons, menus, and checkboxes, pinning so it remains visible regardless of the tab you select,
and vertical tabs.
1. Information Editor
The Info editor found at the top. Logs executed operators, warnings and error
messages. Logged reports can be selected by clicking on them. To select multiple reports,
hold down Shift-LMB.

 2. 3-D View

The main window of the program, showing a currently loaded 3D scene (through a camera
or otherwise). 3D objects that compose any 3D scene are created, edited and animated in this
window.

https://cutt.ly/DxEzJFX

3. Timeline

This window (usually located at the bottom of the screen) shows various data that concern
animation. This includes the current frame, the total number of frames (i.e. the length of the
animation in the current scene) and key frames for the selected object. The key frames
themselves are also created in this window.

4. Outliner

The Outliner is a list that organizes data in the blend-file, i.e. the scene data, Video
Sequencer data, or anything that gets stored in a blend-file. The Outliner can be used to:

 View the data in the scene.

 Select and deselect objects in the scene.
 Hide or show an object in the scene.
 Enable or disable selection (to make an object “unselectable” in the 3D Viewport).
 Enable or disable the rendering of an object.

3
  Delete objects from the scene.
 Unlink data (equivalent to pressing the X button next to the name of a data-block).
 Manage collections in the scene.

5. Properties

Properties editor is probably the second-most used editor type in Blender. You use buttons
and values in this editor to modify the attributes of your scene and elements within it. Because
this editor can manipulate so many parts of a scene, it’s broken down and organized into a
series of subsections.

Creating shapes and transforming it

Press Shift + A, then select Mesh on the 3-D View so that you can create the shape of
your product design: plane, cube, circle, UV sphere, icosphere, cylinder, or cone.
If you look at the left-hand panel, you can edit the shapes through the vertices, radius,
depth, and cap fill type. If you want to transform your objects in Object Mode, select it, then
press G to move it, R to rotate it, or S to to scale it.

Selecting and viewing your shapes

Use the mouse’s right click for selecting, left click for performing an action on the
selection, or press Shift, then right click for adding more items in the selection.
The 3-D view allows you to look at the shape of your design at various angles. Hold the
middle mouse button and drag around to rotate your view or use the mouse’s scroll wheel to
zoom your view. To pan up and down, hold down Shift and use the mouse’s scroll wheel. To
pan right and left, hold down Control and use the mouse’s scroll wheel.
If you don’t like the shape that you made, you can delete it by clicking the shapes of
your product design. With your right mouse, press X, then choose Delete. To combine the
shapes of your product design, select both objects, press Ctrl + J, and select Join Selected
Meshes.

Painting your shapes

To put colors on your product, you can use the Texture Paint, Vertex Paint, and Weight
Paint. In Texture Paint, your mouse becomes a brush and you can choose its texture, strokes,
and colors at the Properties Editor. Vertex Paint has setting for brush presets, its texture,
stroke, and curve. In Weight Paint, you can use a set of weight brushes to paint on top of the
Mesh’s body.
