Conventions used

There are several text conventions used throughout this book.

Highlighted text: Indicates physical keys you should press in the written order, with the mouse in the correct area (shortcut keys are contextual to cursor location).

Here is an example: “They will also still be parented to the arm, which will cause a dependency loop, so make sure you clear the parent with Alt + P .”

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “To add a new shape key, navigate to Object data properties | Shape keys and click the Plus button.” In this example, each successive action is a menu selection that leads to the next one.
