new project setup
- preferences>settings>centimeters
- grid>use default
- set up render options
- set up shortcuts for outliner, graph editor, hypergraph.
- setup shelf for editing tools
- adding tools to a custom shelf
  - select control shift then select the tool
- download teapots Source images
- setUp image planes
  - image plane
    - importing images planes
    - image imports to the window selected at the time
    - changing size of image in channel box
    - selecting image plane via the outliner
    - select the camera view and go to channel box
    - swapping image planes (view>image plane attributes)
    - to delete image plane>select camera in outliner>
      open hypergraph>input/output>select image plane>delete
- setUp reference Cube to size images
- Setting up current project folder
- understanding unit/grid size and the prefs window
- importance of resetting tools prior to use
discuss
- Polygons
  - components
    - vertex (verts)
    - edges
    - faces (new selection techniques vs old in tutorials)
      - three sides faces (tris)
      - four sided faces (quads)
      - more than four sided (n-gons)
      - using channel box INput to alter geometry
      - extrude tool
      - insert edges
      - split polygon tool
    - using "control" key to deselect components
    - new tools: merge vertex tool, multi select mode, soft selections (hold B key for sizing)
  - quads tris and n- Gons
  - extrude
  - select edge loops
  - insert edge loops

Hierarchy workflow
- naming objects
- outliner
- parenting (P) (ShiftP)
- Parenting in the outliner
- parent child relationships
- grouping (controlG)
History (channel box Inputs)
- deleting history and its ramification
- usually done when the model in complete
