00:00:06,100 --> 00:00:13,030

Now let's take a look at something else that is very useful to know and that is the 3D cursor and the



2

00:00:13,090 --> 00:00:15,720

origin of your object.



3

00:00:15,980 --> 00:00:18,460

So right here you can see this crosshair.



4

00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:23,430

And this is a 3D cursor and you were probably wondering what it was.



5

00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:28,170

But anywhere that you click left click your 3-D cursor will go there.



6

00:00:28,330 --> 00:00:33,250

And this is very useful because the three cursor is used for many different things such as adding your



7

00:00:33,250 --> 00:00:36,070

object in that position.



8

00:00:36,070 --> 00:00:44,350

You could rotate around your 3D cursor and it's just a positioned spot for different manipulations of



9

00:00:44,350 --> 00:00:47,870

your scene or your 3D object.



10

00:00:47,890 --> 00:00:53,830

Now the cursor or the 3-D origin of your object you could see this tiny little spot in the middle of



11

00:00:53,830 --> 00:00:54,690

your cube.



12

00:00:54,910 --> 00:00:59,440

No this is not the atom or the nucleus or something.



13

00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,090

This is the origin of your cube.



14

00:01:02,470 --> 00:01:07,780

And this is from where your cube is scaled rotated or moved.



15

00:01:07,780 --> 00:01:16,960

So if I hit s and x to scale along the x axis it will scale it's from this origin spot so it's scaling



16

00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,840

from that as the center of that point of that scaling.



17

00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:30,000

If I rotate it and hit x r x it will rotate it around that center point right there.



18

00:01:30,370 --> 00:01:38,700

So pretty awesome now like I said you could rotate around different points other than the origin of



19

00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,510

your mesh or your object.



20

00:01:41,580 --> 00:01:42,810

Now before you get into that.



21

00:01:42,810 --> 00:01:47,730

Keep in mind that for the majority of the part especially in the beginning you'll launch the origin



22

00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:54,270

of your object in the center where it normally is further on when you get a little more advanced you



23

00:01:54,270 --> 00:01:57,480

can move it around to different parts of your mash.



24

00:01:57,540 --> 00:02:02,700

But for the most part when it's in the center it's usually good.



25

00:02:02,750 --> 00:02:07,410

Like I said I want to go over a couple more things just to show you what it's like to rotate around



26

00:02:07,410 --> 00:02:10,660

something else then the origin of your object.



27

00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:16,800

So I'm going to go to one of our hit one of the numpad to go from view and if I go down here you can



28

00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:23,760

see that I could change the pivot point of my object if I like 3-D cursor.



29

00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:30,980

You can see that now my 3-D manipulator goes to my cursor wherever I click my cursor.



30

00:02:31,010 --> 00:02:38,190

It follows along and if I hit r to rotate you could see that now it's rotating around the 3D cursor



31

00:02:38,460 --> 00:02:41,500

and no longer the origin of the cube.



32

00:02:41,670 --> 00:02:49,540

Same thing if I scale it it's now scaling as this point being the pivot points of your object.



33

00:02:49,770 --> 00:02:55,440

So this can get a little bit funky and it's definitely useful at some points but for the most part you



34

00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:02,970

want to keep it at your 3-D are your origin point of your cube again if you move your cursor anywhere



35

00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,850

and your cursor is the 3D point or the point of pivot.



36

00:03:07,020 --> 00:03:12,840

You can see that if I rotate it will rotate it around that so this becomes the new pivot point.



37

00:03:12,900 --> 00:03:16,770

Let's switch it back to median point.



38

00:03:16,770 --> 00:03:21,360

So there are some other ones which we will get into in the future possibly but for now just keep those



39

00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:22,510

two in mind.



40

00:03:22,620 --> 00:03:30,000

Also I would love to show you a different shading of your scene so that you could have different views



41

00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:36,800

of viewing your 3D object which gives you an ability to actually see through your object.



42

00:03:36,810 --> 00:03:40,280

So if I go down here you could see ice I have viewport shading.



43

00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,160

Right now we're on solid.



44

00:03:42,630 --> 00:03:46,260

Let's take a look at another option we have here called the wireframe.



45

00:03:46,650 --> 00:03:52,110

Now in wireframe you could see that displays a cube as a wire and you could see through it.



46

00:03:52,350 --> 00:03:58,680

This becomes super useful when you want to see inside your mesh or see through it to another part of



47

00:03:58,680 --> 00:03:59,980

your mesh.



48

00:04:00,540 --> 00:04:04,680

Keep those two in mind solid and wireframe.



49

00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:14,120

Now those are the couple of tips regarding that regarding the 3D cursor the origin of your 3D object



50

00:04:14,370 --> 00:04:19,860

and the pivot points and the different the two different kinds of shadings that we have right there



51

00:04:19,860 --> 00:04:23,870

which come in very useful.



52

00:04:23,870 --> 00:04:29,300

All right you made it to the end of the story and guess what time it is it's time for a little positive



53

00:04:29,300 --> 00:04:31,100

quotes of the video.



54

00:04:31,340 --> 00:04:33,880

So this one goes as follows.



55

00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,310

Breakthrough to who you were made to be.



56

00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:41,250

Sometimes our limit is a glass ceiling that we've put above our own head.



57

00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:48,260

But if you can just see past it to the other side and see the dreams goals and aspirations that are



58

00:04:48,260 --> 00:04:51,510

there for you you'll stop at nothing to break through.



59

00:04:51,710 --> 00:04:57,290

And once you do you've finally realized that you had the ability all along for you're the one who had



60

00:04:57,290 --> 00:05:03,710

created that ceiling which in turn gives you the power to shatter it once you realize the simple fact



61

00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:10,370

that it's all in your hands and always will be or always was you take back your power to accomplish



62

00:05:10,460 --> 00:05:11,780

anything.



63

00:05:11,780 --> 00:05:15,910

All right guys take back your power break through whatever limitations you have.



64

00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,330

I'll see you in the next video.



65

00:05:17,330 --> 00:05:18,130

Take care.
