All right now let's take a look at the axes.
Now you've probably noticed that we have several different lines here on our grid floor and in our cube.
Red blue and green lines.
And if you look to the bottom left here these are the three different axes of a 3-D space.
So the X is red the blue one is Z and the green one is the y axis.
Now these are very useful because what we can do as you can see right here we have a little 3-D manipulator
which you can enable and disable right here.
Now right now this one is actually the transform or the grabbing manipulator.
So you can actually left click and drag one of the arrows and it will move it along that particular
axis and actually constrain it to that axis.
In particular Now we can also do the same thing for rotating.
If we go down here and select the second option you can see that once again we have the three axes but
this one is the rotation manipulator.
And we could rotate our cube along that axes.
And that is super useful because being able to constrain a rotation of scaling or movement along an
axis comes in really handy because sometimes you want to.
For example if I hit Allt are to clear that rotation and go back to the movement if I want to move this
along here very nicely if I hit G it's going to be quite tough to bring it exactly straight in the line.
So bringing along a y axis keeps it within that axis and keeps it constrained.
Very very useful for precision of movement.
And the third one that we have here is obviously the scaling axis or the scaling manipulator.
And just like the other ones you could scale it along that particular axis very nicely.
Let's go ahead and we'll hit all our old G and alt as to clear any movement scaling or rotating.
Now all three of these can be enabled all at once if you'd like by Shift left clicking and you could
have all three of them.
Now this can be a little overwhelming so I wouldn't suggest that I would suggest to just have the first
one and use the others when needed.
Now you actually do not have to use this 3-D manipulator.
Once again there are shortcut hotkeys which come in very very handy.
So if you hit the G key to grab your cue you can move it around.
But if you hit the Y key you can now move it along the y axis.
And then if you hit X it will constrain it along the x axis and Z will constrain it along the z axis.
So that is really really awesome.
Same thing with the rotation or the scaling.
If you are rotating it but y along the y axis X along the x and z along the z and you get that same
thing with scaling so s y.
X and z and once again on any of those left click to confirm you as.
Right click to not confirm.
Also keep in mind when rotating and scaling and grabbing it will move usually in whatever position or
a viewport that you're looking at the cube.
For example I'm looking at the cube from this perspective right now.
If I hit r to rotate it will rotate.
From this perspective if I go to the top view by hitting 7 on the numpad if I rotate it now it will
rotate it from this perspective.
Likewise if I go to front by hitting one on the numpad and rotate it by hitting r you can see that now
it rotates.
From this perspective so pretty awesome and you can manipulate your objects much more precisely with
these options.
So once again the green is the y axis red is X blue is Z.
You can always look down here if you forget.
And then this is a 3D manipulator.
You can enable whichever ones you want by left clicking and dragging.
You can move it rotate it or scale it along the axis or you can hit G to move r to rotate or as to scale.
And then once hitting one of those hitting the Y X or Z to move it rotate it or scale it along that
particular axis.
All right so this one is actually a little poem I wrote so these quotes are positive quotes and poems
I write so I hope you enjoy this one.
Belief in oneself is all you really need to accomplish any deed.
Trust yourself and you'll go far but doubt yourself and you'll stay subpar.
You see belief in one's self is a magical spark that helps you accomplish anything you want from your
heart.
Ladies and gentlemen if all you do is one thing believe in yourself believe in whatever you're doing
in your three-D arts or your goals in life.
All right I'll leave you with that.
Have an awesome one.
I'll see you in the next video.
