Installation & Builds

Blender Launcher

Support Tools

User Settings

When a new version of Blender is first opened, the splash screen includes an option to Copy Previous Settings if previous Blender user settings are intended to be transferred to the newly installed version.

File Management

Open File & UI

By default, opening an existing file will do so with the UI in which the file was saved. To simply load the assets from an existing file without its UI, disable Load UI.

image

Link & Append Blender Files

Linking a Blender file is referencing it into the existing session, whereas appending a Blender file imports the contents into the current session.

Default Startup Configuration

Configure workspace and navigate to File > Defaults > Save Startup File. This will initialize each new project file with specified default settings.

Workspace Management

Custom Preferences

Settings

Start Shortcut VUr add-on.

Sculpting Brushes

  • Clay Strips: Set Tip Roundness to 0.75.
  • Smooth: Set Strength to 0.3.

User Interface

Configure, Swap & Join Areas

Drag from top right corner of area to spawn new areas. RMB over separators to access area management options, including swapping areas and joining areas. Areas are joined by specifying the area to be absorbed by the opposite area.

Display Scene Statistics

image

Display statistics (image to left) in Scene View by enabling Overlays (icon) > Statistics. These can also be made available for display in the Status Bar at the bottom right corner of the Blender session (image below). Through the Status Bar, other information can also be displayed, including System Memory, Video Memory, and Blender Version. These Status Bar options are available under Preferences > Interface > Editors > Status Bar.

image

Configure Shortcuts

Access Edit > Preferences > Keymap and search by Name to select operation and shortcut configuration.

Another option is to RMB over a specific tool in its menu and select Assign Shortcut. Within the field, enter the intended shortcut.

Built-In Add-ons

Access Edit > Preferences > Add-ons. The following built-in add-ons have been enabled:

  • 3D Viewport Pie Menus

      • Of the available options in this add-on, the following pie menus are enabled:

    1. Edit Delete Pie (X)
    2. Origin Pie (CTRL + ALT + X)
    3. Save Open Pie (CTRL + S)
  • Node Wrangler

Custom Add-ons

Access Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install... and navigate to .zip file of add-on.

Save Preferences

By default, the hamburger menu at the bottom left corner of the Preferences dialog is set to Auto Save Preferences, but it can be disabled so that the Save Preferences button is visible and manually initiated.

Package File

File > External Data > Pack All Into .blend

This file packaging option encapsulates all of the relevant data into the .blend file, including textures and other referenced data. Note that this can lead to very heavy file sizes. But it can be very valuable as a complete deliverable.

Persistent Orthographic Views

Disable Preferences > Navigation > Auto Perspective to keep all views in orthographic mode, as well as when transitioning between views. This keeps all views persistently as orthographic without automatically converting back to perspective when transitioning to another view.

Scene Management

Outliner

Collections

  • Collections are not groups; they do not represent a hierarchy of the scene.
  • Objects can be linked to multiple collections (SHIFT + M).

Outliner Restriction Toggles

Under Filter, enable Selectable and Display in Renders; save to startup file (File > Defaults > Save Startup File).

Parenting Objects

  • Parent Objects
    • Select object/s to be parented first, followed by object to serve as parent last.
    • CTRL + P to parent.
    • Specify type of parent and transform relationship.
  • Un-Parent Objects
    • Select object/s to be unparented.
    • ALT + P to clear parent.
    • Specify type of un-parenting and transform relationship.

Groups

  • Group Objects
    • Objects are grouped using empty objects as parents. Typically these are Plain Axes (SHIFT + A > Empty > Plain Axes).
  • Ungroup Objects
    • Outliner > RMB > Unlink.

The Machin3Tools addon provides a quick and efficient tool for grouping selections (CTRL + G) in the Object context.

Collections

In Object mode, select objects to be assigned to a collection and create collection (M).

Objects & Object Data Structures

Object

  • This the 'container' for the data and represented by the yellow/orange icon in the Outliner hierarchy.

Object Data

  • This is the data contained within each object, including meshes, camera, light, etc.
  • It is represented by the green icon in the Outliner hierarchy.
image

Each object and datum within each data has its own transforms.

Object Data Properties

  • This identifies what is currently linked to the data within the object.
  • The drop-down menu allows for linking other data based on the object data type, such as mesh, light, camera, etc.
  • The same mesh can be linked within 2 separate objects in a form of instantiation, but each object will have its own independent transform.

Orphan Data

Orphan data is data that is not currently being utilized, meaning that it is not linked to any particular object or object data.

❗
CAUTION: Orphan data is purged when the current Blender session is closed.

Outliner > View Mode (icon) > Orphan Data

  • This outlines a list of current orphan data.
  • To retain orphan data, enable the shield icon to the right of the data block. This assigns the data to a fake user so that when the file is closed or Purge button is enabled, the data is retained alongside this fake user.

Cleanup Protocol

  1. Navigate to each of the following view modes in the Outliner (Outliner > View Mode (icon)) to manage data:
    • Blender File
      • Outline showing all aspects of the current Blender file and its components.
    • Orphan Data
      • As noted in the section above, this view mode identifies data that is not currently being used.
      • It should be decided to assign them to the relevant data, retain the orphaned data, or Purge.
    • View Layer
      • Use groups (CTRL + G) or collections (M) to organize data.
      • Rename data as necessary either individually (F2) or by using Batch Rename (CTRL + F2).
  2. Verify that content within the file is not still packed by navigating to File > External Data > Unpack All Into Files.
  3. Select all objects (A) and Apply, freeze (CTRL + A) > All Transforms.

Lighting & Rendering

Eevee

  • Real-time rendering engine

Cycles

  • Path-tracing renderer
  • Suitable for high quality rendering

Render Settings

Persistent Viewport

By default, the render operation (F12) renders to a new window, but if an area has already been defined to serve as the render panel, it can be set to the persistent render window without opening a new render window. This setting is defined under Edit > Preferences > Interface > Editors > Temporary Editors > Render In > Keep User Interface.

Render Slots

Render to different slots for quick comparisons.

Render Properties

Sampling

  • Higher numbers for higher quality.
  • Render
    • Samples applied to final render (F12).
  • Viewport
    • Samples applied to render in viewport.
  • Adaptive Sampling
    • Strategically locates samples in scene.
  • Denoising
    • Various options available, including NVIDIA's OptiX (recommended).
    • When enabled, it can mitigate the need for higher samples to achieve good quality render.
    • Individual settings for both Viewport and Render, similar to samples.

Simplify

  • Individual settings for Viewport and Render.
  • Lower subdivisions can allow for quicker rendering.

Output Properties

Dimensions

  • Presets
    • Preset dimensions available under icon at top right of panel.
  • Resolution %
    • Modify to lower overall resolution for test renders before final render at 100%.
  • Render Region
    • Used to specify the area of the image to render in the Viewport.
  • Crop to Render Region
    • This renders only what is defined in the Render Region.

Output

  • Directory specified for receiving the render output.
  • Includes various options for specifying the final data output.

Eevee

Cycles

Settings

If hardware-capable, enable Render Properties > Device > GPU Compute.

Lighting

Area Light

The smaller it is, the sharper the shadows and the larger it is, the softer the shadows.
