Are you kidding me!!!!??? That is amazing! Blender Animation by Lurifax

You know I was pretty much absent from Gimp Chat yesterday because I was trying really hard to just become familiar with Blender. Had to start with just the very basics of setting the interface to work with the Mac and the MagicMouse. Today I'll try to get my keyboard to emulate a windows keyboard.

Hi Dalia and thank you.

Do you have problem with your Mac and "Window Keyboard" (Why Window Keyboard???) You dont have a Apple Keyboard cordless as I have??

I'm on a Macbook but you know what?! I do have a cordless keyboard in this house somewhere. Will try that today.

Wery good. Let me know if you need help.

Thank you Lurifax for your offer. Turns out I don't need the wireless keyboard. I've used "User Preferences" to tell Blender to emulate a three button mouse (instead of the MagicMouse) and have also told it to "Emulate Numpad" so that now it functions perfectly with the macbook's keyboard.

Perfect.

Lurifax.

Lurifax, you're too advanced for me! I'm still working on the cup and it has a few holes so I'm starting all over. I'm not giving up.

God morning Dalia.

Yes, Little WebHut tutorialas ar the best one. Easy to follow and he show you every singel steps you need.

But there is some tricks. You dont need to use all that Curve+Bezier to create your handle.

1.
On your cup you cut 2 holes with 8 vertexes on each hole. Add an Torus with 8 vertexes and cut torus in half.


2.

You select the cup and the handle by hold Shiftbutton down when you select both object and press Ctrl+J to join both object to each other. (A)

Select all vertexes on the cup and handle and press W and scroll down to Bridge Edge Loops. (B)

Delete Loop by press X + Edge Loops. ©
