Blender 4.5 Basics - Orientations and Parenting in Blender - Part 5

Learn to master object transformations and hierarchical relationships in this 13-minute Blender 4.5 tutorial. Discover how to move objects along their local orientation axes (forwards, backwards relative to rotation) rather than just global X, Y, and Z coordinates by switching between Global and Local orientations using the 3D View header, comma hotkey, or double-tapping axis keys during transformation. Explore the concept of parenting, where objects inherit transforms from reference points other than the world center, creating hierarchical relationships displayed in the Outliner. Master essential hotkeys including Alt+G (clear location), Alt+R (clear rotation), Alt+S (clear scale), Ctrl+A (apply transforms), Ctrl+P (set parent), and Alt+P (clear parent) to efficiently manage object transformations and parent-child relationships in your 3D scenes.
