How to: work with Blender

[Hamilton]

When the mesh using a mirror is complete, go back into object mode. Where you set the mirror, there is a small button labeled "apply".  Clicking it will make the mirrored part into real mesh and the exporter will export the whole mesh instead of only half.

In the very first post is an image showing where everything is. While I am uncertain what exactly you are referring to, at the moment I am going to assume it is the window view button.

This is highlighted with a red heart in that image. It is on the left-hand side of the screen and is the very first button in any window.

In blender 2.59 the icon is a square and the button itself appears some-what smaller. But the location is the same.

Older versions of blender the icon is a grid pattern.

Clicking on it will pop-up a list of options. One will say "scripts". You really can't miss it. I think it's all in capitol letters, too.

That top window divider? drag it down to access the user preferences.

I dont understand how to drag it down. Ive got the latest version so its different theres these rectangle square things not the crossing line thing. I dont want to be downloading another Blender like Tao did cause i might end up on dial up speed until next month. Even though ur on an earlier version of Blender would u or anyone else know how to change it?

Also i cant find the Edit Methods

I wish i knew these things and wasnt such a noob at this.

blnder 2.59 intro and tutorial downloadable content

It's a pdf, so all you need to view it is Adobe Reader. It should be way more helpful than someone with a dated version :3

Ok ive finished making a mesh but im not sure where to save it or wat to call it. Also after ive made the mesh should i just follow the instructions on the first page about scripts and texture stuff? I noe u wont respond straight away so its saved as firstballoon.blend in some folder i made and put on the desktop. Is there a special name and folder it has to be called and put into?

When I start blender I am not getting the black box at the start, the program just opens. There is no "scripts" thing either. I installed everything from the links you posted, and everything appears to be in the right place, but try as I might I have no option for scripts...
