Blender is able to "reach in" to other .blend files and pull in whatever you want. In this way, Blender supports reuse of your graphical models. For example, if you have a library .blend file that has a really neat Material used in it, you can, from your current .blend file, Append that Material into your current .blend file. This saves you from manually re-creating all the different settings.
In this comprehensive video tutorial we will walk you through a detailed demonstration of the Blender user interface. From navigation, to modeling, and even animation, this tutorial is a must for anyone who is interested in learning this free, yet very powerful, open source 3D application.
