I can't figure out how to work blender. All I can do is add those freakin' simple models, but I can't create my own meshes.
I've got some Blender hints, if anyone needs them.
1. Pressing E will "extrude" vertices, edges, or faces. Pressing shift+D will duplicate whatever you have selected. Alt+M will give you several options for merging vertices together. Pressing Y will "split" vertices, i.e. select part of an object, hit Y, and that part will separate from the rest. The P button will split off pieces like the Y button, but it will make the piece a separate object.
2. In Edit mode, go to the Mesh menu, go up to Vertices, and hit Remove Doubles. That will get rid of any vertice that happen to be in the exact same place as another.
3. Hold CTRL when manipulating objects to snap them to predetermined units. This is VERY useful for exact rotating.
4. Hit the N button to pull up a Transform Properties menu. This can help get objects, vertices, etc. exactly where you want them. Also, go to the View menu and select View Properties. That will help you keep track of the 3D cursor.
If you need any more tips, PM me.
