[ Thanks to Ramsai for this link. ]

"This article by Allan Brito, author of Blender 3D 2.49 Architecture, Buildings, and Scenery, will deal with all the basic aspects related to Blender, which will be useful for artists who have never had the chance to use Blender. We must learn the basics first before we get into more specific questions about modeling and rendering architectural visualizations and scenarios. It's very important to understand how object manipulation, creation, and editing works in Blender. This way, we will be able to work a lot faster and create better models and visualizations.

"In this article, we will learn how to:

* Use the interface
* Set up the interface
* Select Objects
* Work with modes
* Transform objects
* Create objects
