Blender Help, Suddenly all your object move too much?

Example, when I try to move my camera by 1 pixel, it move 10 pixel, so what actually happened? after another 10 minute of search, i figure that it is because i accidentally click the "SNAP" button on bottom screen, the "MAGNET" icon, that will move every pixel by the setting you set such as 10cm every movement, just unclick it will get it back to 1 pixel per move

Blender Help, Suddenly cannot rotate camera?

Suddenly your blender camera cannot rotate? Well, it happened to me just now, after searching for a full 10 minute, I discover I have accidentally click the "Manipulate Centre Point" button on the bottom screen, the "3 dot" symbol, if you accidentally click this, then you cannot rotate your camera anymore, just click it again

Blender: How to use shapekey to animate blinking eye

Below is the tutorial I found on youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gScAPFxTfv0


1. Select your object
2. On top right, under object data -> ShapeKey -> add shape key(basis)
3. then you click again add shape key 1
4. then you modify your mesh, such as close the eye
5. open 3 layer of screen, the second layer view as timeline, the third layer view as dopesheet
6. your mouse pointer pointing at the VALUE 0 under shape key 1 and press "I" to insert a keyframe
7. then just run the animation

Okay, so today I am trying to learn how to make an easy animation using blender

So today objective is to make a

1. white background
2. box with mouth
3. talking mouth

today I learned
1. right click view to toggle quadview
2. press tab to go to edit page
3. press B to border select an entire area
4. RMB + right click to select the vertices you need
5. on object mode, press X to delete the object
6. to move a vertices influencing others, you press G to grab and press proportional editing, so that every dot follow your movement
7. The normal animation can only record easy move, scale, rotate, but cannot record changes of mesh
- to do changes on mesh, you need to use shapekey
- almost every animation is base on IPO curve

  •     scale.x = Screen.width/originalWidth; // calculate hor scale
  •     scale.y = Screen.height/originalHeight; // calculate vert scale
  •     scale.z = 1;
  •     var svMat = GUI.matrix// save current matrix
