But also we need to get it to the proper size. All right, so as I said, what I want to do is bring in that reference image and put it on the floor here so we can see where the walls will go. Now you can also scroll the mouse wheel as well, turn it, and that'll zoom in and out as well. And if you hold the control key down and click the middle mouse button and move the mouse, you can zoom in and out. If you press the shift key and hold the middle mouse button down and move the mouse you can pan. If you click the middle mouse button and hold it and move the mouse, you can tumble around. To do that, it's really just the middle mouse button. All right, so now, actually, before we begin, let's talk a bit about moving around in this 3D view. So to get rid of these, let's just press the A key to select everything and then we'll hit delete, and there they go. Let's go back to blender and we've got the cube, the camera, and this point light here. So our first task then is to get this image into blender and to the proper size. So it can provide real world properties for the lighting. So when we get to the part of the project where we're going to create the lights for the scene, we're going to need our office space here to be real-world size because a lot of the shadows, light bounces, global illumination all of that really looks for real-world scale. So how do we begin something like this? what do we start with? Well, I think what I'll do is bring this reference image into blender and put it on the floor, put it on the ground plane and then try and get this image to be real-world size. But I do want to create the whole thing so we can walk through the whole area. But we may not add a whole lot of detail inside here. Now we'll create the walls and the windows and the doors for this area. And then all the offices around here and even back into here. Here's that kitchen area and the counter. So this is that main coworking space here. We're just going to work on what's inside the blue line here. We're not going to concern ourselves with this over here. ![]() This over here is just other office space. If I zoom in a bit, we can see that it's got this blue line around it here, and that is the coworking space. So what we want to do is block in the walls, the floors, the ceilings, and to do that, we're going to use this floor plan here. If we kind of scroll through the images here, you can see I've just taken some images walking through of the furniture and the general layout of the space as well. It actually has quite a bit going on here that I think it'd be pretty fun to create. It's got the furniture and the walls and the doors and the windows, the ceiling tiles, the light fixtures. It's got a lot of different things going on here, even though it may not look real complicated. My office isn't in here, it's nowhere near this nice but I thought this would be a good environment to create. So this is a coworking space in the building where I work. Before we begin creating our scene, let's take a look at the reference images and kind of get a feel of what we're going to create.
