3D Modelling  

Blender is a powerful and versatile open-source software used for 3D creation. It is widely known for its comprehensive features, allowing users to perform tasks such as 3D modeling, animation, rendering, texturing, rigging, simulation, and video editing. Blender is popular in various industries, including game design, animation, visual effects, and even architectural visualization. 

Some key aspects of Blender include:

1. 3D Modelling: 

Blender offers a range of tools for creating and manipulating 3D objects. It supports polygonal modelling, sculpting, and parametric modelling.

2. Animation: 

Users can create complex animations using Blender’s timeline, keyframes, and rigging tools. It also includes a non-linear animation editor for more advanced control.

3. Rendering: 

Blender has two main rendering engines: Cycles and Eevee. Cycles is a physically-based path tracer, providing high-quality renders, while Eevee is a real-time rendering engine, ideal for faster, less resource-intensive rendering.

4. Texturing and Shading: 

Blender includes a node-based material editor, allowing users to create detailed textures and shaders for their models.

5. Simulation: 

Blender supports various simulations, such as fluid, smoke, fire, soft body, and cloth simulations, which are useful in creating realistic effects.

6. Video Editing: 

Blender has a built-in video sequence editor that allows for basic video editing, including cutting, splicing, color grading, and more.

7. Scripting and Extensibility: 

Blender uses Python as its scripting language, enabling users to automate tasks, create custom tools, and extend its functionality.

In todays session we are going to have a look at blenders interface and how we can imput basic shapes to make a simple robot.
