Shift-a to add.

"Tab" to enter edit mode.

'g', 's', and 'r', to grab, scale and rotate.

Right click to select.

 

That's the basics, as long as the interface hasn't changed.

Alright, I'll try that probably tomorrow; unless I have time to try tonight. =)

 

Any ideas of what to start with, model wise?

Well, that depends on what you want to make.

I'd say, right now just familiarize yourself with the basic commands, and do a bit of menu exploring.

 

One more important command is 'e' for extrude. Usable only in edit mode.

 

Once you've got that down, work with some basic geometric manipulation. Turning cubes into pyramids, or hexagons into diamonds... that sort of thing.

Extrude? What does that do?

 

Funny you should mention Pyramids, though, just attempted to make a Triforce piece. =P

It's easier to learn it by doing it.

It's a simple concept, I'm just not sure how to say it...

 

Basically, you select a face, and 'extrude' a new face from the original, connected by lines and faces.

Ah, I see, that makes sense. I'll try it out tomorrow. =) Hopefully it'll work well in practice, just as it does in theory. =)
