Blender Underground

Hi all,

I am new to these forums and want to learn Blender. Could anyone pls tell me where i can find a tutorial or how i can copy a mesh from one layer to the other.

thanks in advance.

hai reath,

watch your thread's titles,

you almost won a free ticked to the banning room.

[Edited by Ninja Krow] The least you could have done was try and answer his question... LOL... but then i remembered "It's Goliath" and thus almost all is explained...[/edit]

First of all Let me officially welcome you to the Blender underground. The place where I've never once ever seen anyone answer with fairly standards "RTFM" blanket answer. and I'm not about to start that mean spirited foolishness with this post either. Instead I'll answer as best as I can.

To move a object from one layer to the other you select the object, and then press m. there will be a small window that pops up with the Layers Grid widget. it looks like 20 squares in two rows of 10, and 2 columns of 5. you can them click which layer you wish to move it to bu clicking it. the light blue means it not on the layer, the darker blue means it is. you can also have the object show up on several layers at once.

If you want a duplicate items on a different layer. you will need to first duplicate it using Shift+D to duplicate the object. pressing enter them pressing M and schooing a layer for it to be changed to.

this is for when you want a separate copy of the object in question, One you can make changes to that wont effect the originals geometry.

There is a third way, in which you can share the mesh data over into multiple objects, making changes to the Mesh in one will change the mesh on all copies using the mesh data. Apollos details this in one of his video tutorials here at the underground.

all the tutorials can be found on the front page of the Blender underground.

Here a link to the complete list of tutorials.

please note there is a mirror site for all of these blender basic tutorials. due to Blue host and Bandwidth issues, please use the mirrors sites first before downloading them directly.

Apollos is an awesome teacher and the tutorials can get you up to speed faster then most tutorials I've seen so far.

Again welcome to the BU and hope to see you become one of our awesome regular community members...

Take care and Good luck...

so that was a compliment ?
that sure was one. ! !

Just ribbing you like always my friend. Heck if i don't rib on or tease you. It means I don't really like you at all. It's my way of saying, "your my friend and I'm comfortable enough to tease the living crud out of you..."

Take it as a complement if you really want to put a label on it.

But yeah you could have been a bit more friendly about your warning.

NOTE TO ADMINS: I think Goliath may be a Bit power Mad... He seems overly fixated about banning people... I think he may even be... GASP!... Ban Happy...

I guess so,
I also though it was just our usual spammer team growing up a little
and finally understanding this forum is focusing on learning how to blend properly.

I bet you 50 polished lines of code
(Or one polished mesh if you lose)
that this was his last post.






I'm still pretty careful not going too far.
this darn Half god hero Penix1 keep a close eye on me.
He's like the safety catch on my massive infinite ammo killing weapon ! !

thankyou Ninja Krow for your patiently written mail.

Goliath, thanks, but i don't understand your reply.

This is nothing personal, reath. Let's just say that there were enough spammers on this board in the last time. So we are maybe a bit paranoid right now, especially Goliath (so it seems). The Question, who is and who is not a spammer, isn't always easy to answer.

@Goliath:
You've lost, pal.
So Ninja, chose some nice scripting code or what about a beautiful mesh for your alchemy lab?
Goliath will be happy to make one.

It is rather hard to tell who is who from the first post guys... That is why as long as the first post is not a direct advertisement, I always write as if the first post is one of many more...

He sure did...

Oooo, you are so on the money with the
Alchemy Lab Idea. Just what do I need right now.

I know... I SO already know.... MUWAHAHAHAHAHA...

noooooooo !

I was wrong !

ANd he won !!

noooooooo !


@reath

Sorry pal for the hard welcoming,
I wish you luck on your path to the glory of art.

Be sure not to fall under the hand of The Man



@Ninja Krow

AGRAGRGAGAGRGAR !!!!

Children, play nice or I'll bust you all down to Informant.

I was under the notion that i was playing nice... Please oh great and powerful Penix1... don't demote me?....
**Falls to his, messed up and crippled, knees begging with all his might.**

He'll do it. I got busted down to operative once.
