today in the refresher we had to make a house from a picture of a cartoon of our choice. the house I am making is the Simpsons house since the Simpsons is a cartoon and the design of the house is very good

shortcuts to remember

• q = select tool
• w = move tool
• e = rotate tool
• r = scale tool
• alt + LMB = rotate camera
• alt + MMB = move camera
• alt + RMB = zoom camera

create -> polygon primitives -> interactive creation

interactive creation is the ability to create the shape anywhere, if this is unselected it will create a small version of the shape in the center
