Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
Blockbench is a versatile software for creating pixel art, low poly, 3D models for games like Minecraft.
- •
In Blockbench, you can rotate the camera by clicking and holding the left mouse button, move the camera by clicking and holding the right mouse button, and zoom using the scroll wheel.
- •
The pivot tool in Blockbench moves the model's origin, and the transform space setting (local or global) determines whether you move the cube only or both the cube and its pivot.
