How do I fix my Blender crash or freeze when opening or creating a new file?

Most of the time, this is caused by hotkeys stuck in your keyboard. Press ctrl+shift+c to open the control panel, choose workspaces and uncheck the workspace where Blender is running from. Usually it helps. Reloading Blender can also help fix this problem if it is not caused by hotkeys. Press F5 and click on Reload button in the top right corner of the screen (also known as restart button).

How do I fix a stick blender?

Some people have had issues with their sticks. Here are a few suggestions:

Make sure that Blender is closed, then press ctrl+shift+c and check which workspace it is the stuck in, you might want to move it to another. Find the file which is getting the error message and go to its directory and once in the directory you will find a .blend file (or .blend-2 or something similar), rename this file, for instance to blender.blend If the error still occurs in this renamed blender.

How do I fix a blender assembly blade?

When using an assembly blade, after choosing a property in the pop up menu, save the file. Then, when you open that file, choose ‘Modify > ID’ and change the number in the ID (without spaces) to something else. So for example if it was 1 for assembly blade #1, you would change it to 2. Save the file again, open it in blender and retry your problem.

Where is save button?

There is no button, it is hidden or strongly recommended to save often. If you press the ALT key, it will show Blender’s version number (if version.txt exists in your current directory) and stored settings of some presets. If you press F4, it will only open help window and return to the default behavior of pressing F5.

How do I share a scene file?

You can send scene files from within Blender by using the CTRL+S shortcut. This is also useful for uploading files to Bitbucket and Bintray if you are creating a public release of the software. When you want to download a scene file, use the F6 shortcut.

How do I share a frame?

You can upload your frame by using the CTRL+D shortcut. After you press this key, Blender will ask if it should immediately take a screenshot and save it to your computer. Pressing ALT+F will bring up the screenshot dialog box where you can change the filename and location of where it should be saved. This can be useful for sharing images directly on social media platforms such as Twitter or Instagram, since they automatically post either a full-screen image or an interactive slide show.

Conclusion:

Blender comes with a number of features, which can be used to its utmost potential. Judging by the statistics of the Blender community, approximately 200,000 users use Blender daily to create professional quality CGI animation movies. The Blender Foundation is constantly upgrading its software tools and providing new tools for their users to learn and explore new capabilities without having to work with outdated programs that are long past their prime. There are many models in Blender that are made available as free software via the official Blender website. This makes it easy for people to download and use these models as they require no plugin installations (such as certain plugins necessary for mesh editing or rendering).
