• Use “Save” to save a new ile or to save work you have
added to a file.
• Use “Save As” to save a copy of a ile. You will have to give
this a new name if you are saving it in the same folder as
the original.
With our new default scene, click on “Save.” The Blender file
browser window should open with the option “Save Blender File” in
the top RH corner of the window. Where you see “untitled.blend” is
the name of your file (Figure 2.2). Blender automatically names the
file untitled.blend. Click on the name to highlight it, press Delete on
the keyboard, then type in a new name and hit Enter. I have named
my file Demo.blend. It is good practice to add the “.blend” suffix—
older versions of Blender did not automatically add it.
Just above where you have typed the name you will see the file path
to where your file will be saved. On my computer this is “c:\temp\.”
Blender has automatically decided that if I do not say otherwise my
file will be saved in the temp folder on the C: drive. You can see there
is a previous .blend file already saved to this folder. The temp folder is
