Notes from 9-10-09 Jordan R.

The golden Rule: Keep one hand on the keyboard and the other hand on the mouse. Review on the number keypad and what each button does. If you press the “A” button to select an animation you will either select all the objects or de select them all. Press the “B” button to make a box to select. To redo something you can press “Ctrl” “Y” if needed. You can also press “Alt” “U” you will bring up your history box to go farther back. To get out of a menu you can press the “Esc” button. To make a save you can just press the “F2” button to save as. The “F1” is the file load key that allows you to create more than one animation and then you can combine them on one scene. Layers can be separated by different layers and you can work on each of them separately. You can manipulate the objects by changing the mode to “edit mode” allowing you to grab and move the vertices manipulating and changing the shape of the object.
