Introduction

Before we click a single button, it helps to understand the environment we are stepping into. Blender is built upon geometric principles, concepts of dimension, direction, and origin. This guide is not a math lecture; it is a philosophical primer designed to give you an intuition for 3D space. Understanding the "language" Blender speaks, will help you understand why Blender works the way it does.

A structured approach to modeling projects from reference and blocking to finalization and validation.
