Chapter 2. Getting Comfortable Using the 3D View
In the previous chapter, you had a good introduction to animation and computer animation. You learned a little about how to make an animation come alive, and discovered that the animation principles are the same whether it's made in the old-fashioned way or with a computer. Now it's time to get into Blender itself.
In this chapter, you will learn about the following topics:
- The idea behind Blender's windowing system
- Manipulating and resizing the Blender windows
