Yup, this is still kind of just an outline right now. Finding time to flesh it out has been, difficult. But consider this a preview for another book.

Intro

Learning to navigate the view is perhaps the most important skill for making three dimensional models with 2 dimensional tools. So I hope you’ve taken the opportunity to practice moving and snapping the view. While Blender does provide multiple ways to do anything, learning the keyboard shortcuts can be the most efficient way to quickly navigate the view.

Now that we can navigate the view, let’s do an exercise that involves not moving the view so we can learn something about how moving objects works in Blender.
