Procedure

Certainly! Here’s a more detailed step-by-step procedure for opening, saving, and customizing a 3D model using
Blender:
Opening a 3D model
1 Launch Blender: Open Blender by double-clicking its icon or selecting it from your applications menu.
2 Access file menu : Once Blender is open, look for the top menu bar. Click on the “File” menu.

3 Select Open : In the dropdown menu that appears under “File,” select “Open” or use the keyboard shortcut
Ctrl + O.
4 Browse for model : A file browser window will pop up. Navigate to the location on your computer where the
3D model file is stored.
5 Choose file : Click on the desired 3D model file to select it.
6 Open model : After selecting the file, click on the “Open” button in the file browser window to load the model
into Blender.
Saving a 3D model
1 Navigate to File Menu : If you’ve made changes to the model and want to save them, go to the “File” menu
again.

2 Select save or save as : Choose either “Save” if the model is already saved, or “Save As” if it’s a new file or
you want to save it with a different name/location.
3 Specify name and location : A file browser window will appear. If using “Save As,” specify the name and
location where you want to save the file. If using “Save,” Blender will overwrite the existing file.
4 Choose file forma : Select the appropriate file format for your needs. Blender’s native format is blend, but
you can also choose other formats like .obj, .fbx, or .stl.
5 Click save : Once you’ve specified the name, location, and format, click “Save” to save the model.
Customizing a 3D model
1 Select Object : If you want to customize the model’s geometry, select the object you want to edit by right-
clicking on it in the 3D viewport.
2 Enter edit mode : To modify the object’s vertices, edges, or faces, enter “Edit Mode” by pressing Tab or
selecting it from the mode dropdown menu at the bottom of the 3D viewport.
3 Use editing tools : In Edit Mode, you can use various tools like “Extrude,” “Scale,” “Rotate,” etc., available in
the toolbar on the left or through
4 Texture and material editing : To customize textures and materials, you can switch to “Texture Paint” mode
or “Shading” workspace to adjust materials, textures, and lighting.
5 Sculpting: For organic shapes or fine details, you can switch to “Sculpt Mode” and use sculpting brushes to
mold and shape the model.
