Getting It Done With Blender: Parenting an Object

Sorry, no pictures this time! I did the following to create a parent-child link between two objects in Blender:

  • First select the object that will be the child
  • Second, hold down the [Shift] key, and select the object that will be the parent
  • Click in the 3D window, press [Ctrl] + [P] then select “Object”.

The order is important!

Done.
