ABSTRACT

The Blender Interface is the gateway to the world of computer graphics using Blender. Blender is continually being amended and revised and new releases of the program are made available. The user input to the program is described in the manual using a standard keyboard and a three-button or wheel mouse. Blender is designed to be operated with one hand on the mouse and the other on the keyboard. Keyboard input is given by pressing a key or a series of keys. Keyboard shortcuts are used extensively in Blender. Every window may be divided to form a new window. In opposite corners of each window there is a small cross hatched triangle, which is a splitter widget. When the mouse cursor is placed on the cross hatching, the cursor changes to a white cross. One of the great features of Blender is that the Graphical User Interface (GUI) may be modified to suit the preferences of individual users.
