In order to create anything in 3D, you’ll need to learn how to navigate in 3D space. You can do that with the gizmo in the top right of the viewport or you can use hotkeys. The most common hotkeys are:
MMB: Orbit the view
Shift + MMB: Shift the view
Ctrl + MMB: Zoom the view
Numpad 1: Front view
Numpad 3: Side view
Numpad 7: Top view
Numpad 5: Toggle perspective
Numpad 0: Toggle camera view
Numpad /: Toggle local view
Numpad Period: Frame selected
Home: Frame all
Tilde: View pie menu
You can also use the Emulate 3 Button Mouse and Emulate Numpad options in Blender's preferences if you don't have those respective hardware configurations.

Thank you very much for not forgetting us MacBook users! Most of the tutorials that I see on KZbin basically tell us that we're SOL if we're not using a mouse. However, you showed various ways and workarounds for navigation. I thank God that you exist!

[@GhostiePostie]

Simple intro to the software controls is just what I needed, thanks man

[@JohnLedford]

The intro to these vids are so cool!

[@MoraimaDiaz]

I'm a complete newbie not only to Blender but also to 3D, this is exactly what I needed, a super basic and detailed tutorial. I tried starting with the famous donut and I was beginning to capacity to learn 😂 Thank you, thank you!!!

[@richochet]

What's the keyboard at 5:26?

[@mae2309]

thank you. but it seems that my shorcuts for MOVE, ROTATE and SCALE. do not work on 4.0... what gives?

[@jonlampel]

Did you choose a different keymap when installing, like the industry compatible one by chance?

[@mae2309]

@@jonlampel no. just the default intallation one.. let me uninstalled and install once again see if that works...

[@mae2309]

@@jonlampel Hmm it works now.. once I chaged the keymap to Drag and Active Tool. or changed it and changed it back thanks mate!

[@bonjovi1354]

whole keypad is like joystik

[@arua41]

Very helpful except for the home key button since almost all laptops the has a numpad ends up combining the home key and numpad 7 key together making the home key useless since blender doesn’t recognize lock and unlock state of the numpad 😢. Hopefully they implement a solution for this within a future update but besides that this video is very helpful.

[@Kestrel99-Ani]

Is there any fix for this? Or is it just a waiting game? I'm using a laptop, and it would be really handy 😊

[@arua41]

@@Kestrel99-Ani I think it’s just a waiting game at this point until they implement something. So until they implement something any default shortcut key bind that uses a key that is combined with the numpad on laptops is useless unless you modify your shortcut key binding settings as a work around for laptops.

[@sohailamahmoud3444]

wwwwooooooowwwww .. thank you

[@adyme9420]

I just don't get it, how you get on the screen, with the German keyboard those top, back, right etc.

[@Mac-jk3gy]

Home Button = pos1 (on other keyboards)

I'm using blender to make UGC (user- generated content) inside of Roblox, and if I make a ton of money, I'll subscribe to you. Sound like a deal? PS: Don't worry I'll remember you when I get famous! :)
