Spinning Topper

I'll be modeling a simple spinning top in Blender. Open up your blender and click on the outside of the splash screen. Select the square by clicking on it. Press X on the keyboard and then click on delete. Then you'll want to go to create in the top left corner. You'll want to select the cone in the primitive window.

Then go down to the object mode and click on it. Select the edit mode. We'll find vertices, edges, and faces in the edit mode. I kept pressing the number 2 key until I got to the part of the cone I wanted.


In the middle of the screen select faces in the edit mode. Go to the object and select the top round face.

Press S key and scale out to the size you want. Then press E to extrude the face up a little.


Press E again to extrude. 


Press S to scale in.

Don't forget to save your project. I forget to save mine and I had to start over. Anyway, extrude again and scale it in.


Walla, you are done with a simple spinning topper. Click on edit mode and go to object mode. Press Ctrl S to save your project.


Thank you for checking out my post and have a fabulous week.

Noob-ish in Blender.

To start off I am kind of a noob at this. As I learn Blender software, I aim to become advanced in the Blender world. As I advance in Blender, I would like to discover easy tips and tricks. I have chosen Blender because it is FREE. It is also a great software that keeps getting better. There are great video blogs out there but not all of them. As I start my first blog I would like to go through Blender and some of the shortcut keys. Hope this will help you as you play around with Blender. You will need a keyboard and a mouse. Interface So we are going to start with the interface. I'll be working with Blender 2.78 version. Hopefully, you have your Blender downloaded and installed. When you open up Blender this will open up on your screen or something similar to it. You can open up one of your projects from the splash screen  or start a new one. Click on the outside of the box. Go to file and then click new . (The short key for the new file is  Ctrl N ). Shortcut to open recen...

cubes

   I'm going to make a Rubik's cube. I'll be using modifiers and mapping.   I'm going to start with the simple cube. Also, I'm going to save the project and name it Rubik's cube. I want to smooth out the edges a little. So, I'm going to add a bevel to the edges. There is a little button that looks like a wrench.  I'll click on the wrench, which will take me to the add modifier button. Click on the add modifiers and then click on the bevel selection. So, the cube will look like this. I want to change the bevel a little to make it rounder.  I changed the segment to 5 and clicked on the button smooth in tools. Next, go to edit mode and select the face . Press I  to inset the face. Do the same thing on all of the faces on the cube. You can either continue or move down a couple of steps to add array . Don't forget to save. Select a face and press E to extrude into the cube. Do the same thing to all the faces on the cube. Now extrude the fac...
