Blender Basics, This is a map teaching you the basics of the software…

- - - - The next thing is to add an object once you want something else than a cube. You can do this by Shift + A. You can grab your object by G and bring them along the axis by X, Y and Z as you are dragging them.
        
        To scale your object, you can press S. To rotate it, press R. These can also be changed along the axis using X, Y and Z.
    - - To select only vertices, faces or edges, click one of the options in the top left corner.
        
        The options given in the beginning can also be done here: G, S and R. Other parts can also be added using Shift + A, but since it places it separately from the main mesh, it is better not to do that as of now.
  - - - Do not do anything. If a separate action is done, it will remove the box given. On the bottom left corner, you will see a pop-up as you add the shape. Change the vertices from 32 to 16. This will make the forming the shape easier. Do not worry about less detail. We can add them later, but we are making a low-poly sword anyway.
        
        Keep changing the scale (S) by different axis until you have the rough shape of what you need.
        
        Go in edit mode and hit Ctrl + R. This adds a loopcut where you want the grip to be. This adds a line of vertices to wrap around your model. The first option asks you where on your mesh, horizontally or vertically, in between which two faces you want the loopcut. The second option asks where specifically in that area, along the lines you want it.
        
        Add another loopcut right under this one, and select both of them. You can do this by clicking Shift + Alt + Left Click (Shift holds multiple vertices, and Alt picks a line of vertices). If you do not like your placing, you can change the position by G and then changing it to the Z axis.
        
        The hilt will currently look inflated if you scale them now. This is because it does not know how to expand it. Remember: you can sharpen this by adding more loopcuts above and below. You can put it right above the previous ones, but it will cause major problems later on. We also need it to make it so that it is not outwards in a sharpened way. If you need to make it that way, E is to extrude a vertice. Currently, that is not needed but will be needed later. You can then begin to scale the middle ones.

        Repeat this step two more times below. This can be done by selecting all of the loopcuts, and pressing Shift + D. This hotkey duplicates objects, or vertices.
