In Review
In this chapter, we have looked
at the preparatory steps to think
about when working on a project
in Blender, including planning
what you want to make, collecting
reference and concept art, and
generating ideas for your final
composition. We then moved
on to discuss ways to make this
information available to you in
Blender while you work. In the
next chapter, we begin model-
ing our projects. By blocking out
the key elements of our projects,
we will develop a foundation on
which to build more complex
models.

angle. If your image has an Alpha (transparency) channel, it too will display as a
transparent image in the Viewport.
