how to undo in blender (please god)

ctrl+z is not the whole story and i'm tired of pretending it is

Okay so you need to know how to undo in blender because you just did something REALLY stupid – like grabbed the wrong vertex and yeeted it into another dimension.

Deep breath.

Ctrl+Z works. Yeah. Fine. But what if you need to go back FIVE steps? Huh? You gonna sit there hammering the keys like a maniac?

No.

Here's the good stuff.

Edit > Undo History

A whole list pops up. Click any old action. Blender just... rewinds. Like magic but better because it actually works.

First time I used it I literally sighed out loud. My roommate asked if I was okay. I wasn't. But then I was.

Oh and you can tweak how many undos Blender remembers. Go to Preferences > System. Look for "Undo Steps" and "Undo Memory Limit."

More steps = safer. Too many steps = slow death. Find your balance.

And redo is Ctrl+Shift+Z (Cmd on Mac). For when you undo too much. Happens to everyone.

Just watch this. 60 seconds. Starts right at the good part.

Go. Learn. Stop yelling at your screen.

blender move origin to selected vertex – okay look

subtitle: i swear it’s easier than you think just let me yell at you for a sec

first sentence: so you’re in blender and you need to blender move origin to selected vertex and the stupid orange dot is just sitting there in the middle of your object like it owns the place.

ugh.

here’s the thing

that little orange dot? the origin? yeah. it controls everything. rotation, scale, where the heck your object spins from. and by default blender puts it right in the geometric center. which is FINE if you’re making a boring cube.

but what if you’re making a door? a wheel? a freaking lightsaber that needs to spin from the hilt?

you need that dot on a VERTEX.

i found this video. it’s like… one minute. maybe one minute and five seconds. no fluff. no “hey what’s up guys welcome back to my channel please subscribe and click the bell” for ten years.

just. bam. done.

here’s what you do (and i’m writing this like i’m texting you at 2am)

step one: tab into edit mode. you know. the tab key. press it.

step two: pick ONE vertex. just one. click it. don’t get greedy.

step three: shift + s – that little snap menu pops up. choose “cursor to selected.” and watch the pink-and-white 3d cursor jump onto that vertex. it’s so satisfying. like zip.

step four: tab back to object mode. don’t forget this part. i forget sometimes and then i’m like “why isn’t it working” and oh right. i’m an idiot.

step five: right click. set origin → origin to 3d cursor.

and then.

then.

that orange dot MOVES.

it’s not smooth or animated. it just pops into place like “oh you wanted me HERE? okay fine.” and you feel a little rush. i swear.

the video timeline? fine i’ll tell you:

first 35 seconds: guy goes into edit mode, selects a vertex, shift+s cursor to selected.

next 25 seconds: back to object mode, right click, origin to 3d cursor.

last 5 seconds: goodbye.

that’s it. that’s the whole thing.

you know that feeling when you finally figure out a shortcut and your brain does that little ding? yeah. like when you find a $20 bill in an old jacket.

this is that.

some random thoughts:

works on ANY mesh. not just the cube. i tried it on a sphere. on a suzanne. on a messy imported model from god knows where.

no it doesn’t mess up your geometry. only the pivot point changes. your model stays the same.

multiple vertices? nah. origin only goes to one point. BUT you can select a bunch, snap cursor to their average, then set origin there. sneaky.

wanna reset? right click → origin to geometry. easy.

look i’m not trying to sell you anything. i’m just… tired of watching people struggle with this. it’s such a small thing but it changes EVERYTHING.

so here.

watch the stupid video. it’s one minute. one minute of your life.

👉 click here – it’s timestamped to 29 seconds so you don’t even have to scrub

go do it. then open blender and try it on something. anything. you’ll see.

or don’t. i don’t care. but you will care later when you’re frustrated and i’ll be like “told you so.”

Want to blender inset multiple faces individually so each face gets its own little frame instead of one big border?

Here’s the 2‑key trick:

Add a plane → subdivide it (4 cuts works great)

Select all faces (A)

Press I once… then press I again immediately

👉 That’s I + I

Every face now insets on its own. Move your mouse → click to confirm. Then hit E to extrude for real depth.

Why this rules: Perfect for waffle grids, sci‑fi panels, keyboard keys, tile floors – anything with repeating recessed details.

Pro tip: Undo with Ctrl+Z if it goes wrong. Works on any mesh with multiple faces.

how to undo ctrl z in blender (please god)

you know that feeling

cold sweat behind your ears finger hovering over the keyboard cube gone. just… gone.

yeah.

how to undo ctrl z in blender is just

ctrl + Z

that’s it. that’s the post.

but wait – no, actually there’s more. because blender keeps a whole history. edit menu. undo history. jump back ten steps. twenty. to that one perfect moment before you ruined everything.

and you can tweak it. preferences. set undo steps to FORTY. forty mistakes allowed. memory limit? crank it.

the sound? that little clack-thump of your pinky hitting ctrl then z? feels like a promise.

watch someone actually show you:

go on. mess up on purpose. undo it. breathe again.

you open blender. there’s a cube. you click it. you try to drag it. NOTHING HAPPENS. i been there. infuriating.

here’s the secret. THREE WAYS. just three.

1. the gizmo – little colored arrows on the left toolbar. red = left/right. green = forward/back. blue = up/down. drag ’em. the little SQUARES? drag those and you move on a flat plane. whoosh. satisfying as hell.

2. keyboard – just press G. G for GRAB. then move your mouse. want only one axis? G then X. or Y. or Z. want exact? G X 2 ENTER. moves 2 units. i did G Z 1.5 once and my cube floated up perfectly. i literally whispered “nice.”

3. press N – panel slides out. type numbers for X Y Z. zero zero zero sends it back to world center. snap.

you know that sound? the soft tick tick tick when the cube snaps across the grid? your fingers hovering over G and X and Z? the screen glow at 2am? yeah. that’s the good stuff.

watch this – four minutes and you’ll stop yelling at your cube

now go move something.

Okay so here's the thing about Blender tree generator 4.5

(which isn't actually called that but that's what people search so whatever)

I was losing my mind. Like actually. Staring at my scene. Dead. Empty. Needs trees but who has the patience to model every single leaf? Not me. Definitely not me.

So I'm grumbling to myself at 1am – why is adding a tree in Blender harder than doing my taxes?? – and then I stumble on this random free addon.

Easy Tree.

Install? Thirty seconds. Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > search "easy tree". Check the box. Done.

I click a preset. "Small, spring." Switch to material preview.

And I literally stopped scrolling.

The leaves were green. Like that deep, almost-wet green you see after a rainstorm? The kind that smells like dirt and grass? Yeah that green. And the bark – oh man the bark – it had grain. Actual wood grain. Rough. Brown. Like you could run your finger across it and feel the ridges.

I just sat there. Rotating the viewport. For way too long.

You can mess with branch number, trunk height, even how many levels of branching. Slide stuff around and the tree just morphs. Weirdly satisfying??

Oh and wind animation. Checkbox. The tree sways. Soft. Like it's breathing. Not a crazy storm – just a little "hey I'm alive" wiggle.

Seasonal presets too. Fall leaves orange and red. Summer dark green. Even thin pines for mountains.

I'm not selling anything. I'm just tired of bad trees. And this one... this one works.
