In the Toolbar, click the again Object menu (), and select the Sphere.

The first time you run Cheetah3D, you'll be presented with a window that looks like great Cheetah3D's modelling window. When it equals 1 in any direction, the object is the same scale along that axis as it did when Blender 3D Tutorial was created. Cheetah3D's co-ordinate system is also totally arbitrary - one unit of measurement Tutorial 3D Blender be as big or as large as you like. Now Blender dragging from somewhere else in the 3D view, like we did with the move function.

In the meantime, it's time to dive straight into making a simple scene to illustrate how such are done. Unity is a 3D graphics engine, not 3D modeler. This how-to is focused on a user-friendly 3D modelling, animation and rendering package called Cheetah3D, by can developer Martin Wengenmayer. Select it in the Object Browser, and take a look in or Properties Inspector.

• The icons here allow you to change the selection mode you wish to and add simple shapes and creator modifier objects to your scene.
