You can keep adding linked duplicates to your scene all day long, and Blender (and your computer) won’t mind a bit. This is basically an instance of your original object, which doesn’t use any additional memory. Alt+D is the shortcut for creating a Linked Duplicate. Blender literally would have come to a grinding halt at some point. While the previous shortcut is a real time-saver, this one is a real performance saver! In fact, I don’t think I could have finished some projects without it. It may not seem like a big deal, but it will save a lot of time! This is ideal when you just want to move a chair or table accross the floor perfectly, without risking moving it up or down. What this does, is move your object in every direction except the Z-axis. When placing furniture in your scene, the second most useful shortcut you’re gonna be using is G+Shift+Z. Finally you can also use the arrow keys on the keyboard. You can also use the mouse, in that case the scroll wheel controls the back and forward movement. In each case, press that key again to go faster. They can be found in the View > Navigation menu.Īfter adding them to your Quick Favorites, you can bring them up by pressing Q. Unfortunately Blender 2.8 no longer has a shortcut for this, but you can add both options to the Quick Favorites menu. As you might guess, one lets you fly freely through the scene and the other lets you “walk”, as if you’re playing a FPS game. There are two special methods of navigation in Blender: Fly Mode and Walk Mode. If your client gave you a big Sketchup file of the building, you may want to “walk around” in it to get familiar with it. If your scene is more than a single room, you need an efficient way to navigate through the scene. You could say the requested work costs X amount, and anything over that is just calculated per hour (since it is unpredictable), for example. Leave room for additional work on the quote: your client may change their mind mid-project, requiring additional or different assets after the original ones were already made. There’s a big difference between a scene with one room and a scene with 10 rooms! I wouldn’t accept a project if the client isn’t willing to share this info before getting my quote. That way you can see how big the scene is. Ask them for the Sketchup files as well if they exist (they probably do, unless they are somehow hiring you before hiring the architect which would be a red flag). This is also costly, in fact more costly than furniture. Another “asset” to take into account is whether they want people in the renders. You have to calculate this into the price. It’s very useful to have this, as you may need to buy several assets. Some practical business advice: Your client may already have a list of furniture they’ve selected from catalogues. 2 - Ask for a list of required assets before giving a quote
