1

00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,600

All right let's take a look at one of our modifiers.



2

00:00:09,610 --> 00:00:12,430

Let's switch it up a little bit from the modeling.



3

00:00:12,460 --> 00:00:14,560

Actually we're going to model OBut to slide.



4

00:00:14,770 --> 00:00:21,040

But let's we're going to take a look at a modifier that we use fairly often and it's a really really



5

00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:21,900

cool one.



6

00:00:22,060 --> 00:00:27,560

So going with the theme of our house let's hit shift spacebar.



7

00:00:27,970 --> 00:00:31,320

Open that up and let's go ahead.



8

00:00:31,540 --> 00:00:39,400

First of all let's move our house shift right click Let's move it back and now in top view 7 on the



9

00:00:39,410 --> 00:00:46,010

numpad Let's go ahead and add in a plane so shift day and mash plane we're going to create a little



10

00:00:46,010 --> 00:00:50,030

fence over here and then I'll show you what the array modifier is.



11

00:00:50,750 --> 00:00:52,920

And this is give me really fast to create this fence.



12

00:00:52,940 --> 00:00:59,770

All we're going to do within a matter of seconds hit tab to go into edit mode scale it along the way



13

00:00:59,850 --> 00:01:12,080

back along the y axis or X Y and then grab these two vertices shift right click x x Asano was strange.



14

00:01:12,210 --> 00:01:15,280

I meant scale it on the x axis.



15

00:01:15,780 --> 00:01:21,390

Actually before we do that when you add on loop cuts the distracted myself control our Add in a loop



16

00:01:21,390 --> 00:01:23,440

current bring it about here.



17

00:01:23,850 --> 00:01:34,710

Then select these two as X and scale along the y the x axis and then bring it up Llobet so that we have



18

00:01:34,730 --> 00:01:43,380

a picket fence and now hitting a select everything e to extrude and just bring it down so that it has



19

00:01:43,380 --> 00:01:49,340

some depth to it going back into object mode tab with skill.



20

00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:57,010

Scale it way down and then hit are to rotate it on the x axis.



21

00:01:58,020 --> 00:02:01,420

90 degrees by hitting 90 on your keyboard.



22

00:02:01,830 --> 00:02:04,050

And let's bring it up.



23

00:02:04,060 --> 00:02:07,570

All right here's one on the numpad to go into front view.



24

00:02:07,770 --> 00:02:15,680

Now let's say we want a fence here and we want to duplicate it but we don't want to.



25

00:02:15,990 --> 00:02:22,190

You know we want it so that we only have one object but it's duplicated many many times.



26

00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,610

So the way to do that is really simple.



27

00:02:26,610 --> 00:02:33,660

Now as I mentioned previously in editing you can hit shift d to duplicate an object and that's fine



28

00:02:33,660 --> 00:02:38,000

and dandy but we don't want to duplicate those 100 times because it's the same object.



29

00:02:38,010 --> 00:02:43,620

And then we wouldn't have as much control over it because if I had shifted to duplicate this now I have



30

00:02:43,620 --> 00:02:46,590

two objects to worry about and to edit.



31

00:02:46,740 --> 00:02:49,700

And imagine a fence which will have like hundreds of these.



32

00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,340

So an easier way is to use the array modifier when you go ahead and delete this.



33

00:02:54,360 --> 00:03:00,570

I'm actually going to hide the house so that we can see better to hide an object just right click on



34

00:03:00,570 --> 00:03:03,580

it and hit that H key.



35

00:03:04,020 --> 00:03:04,790

It will hide it.



36

00:03:04,830 --> 00:03:08,490

If you ever want to unhide it it's alt H.



37

00:03:08,580 --> 00:03:10,970

All right let me hide that sucker back up.



38

00:03:11,130 --> 00:03:19,500

And now selecting the fence I mean a scale I'm as Z-axis a little bit as zeed make a little bit taller.



39

00:03:19,810 --> 00:03:28,660

And now going to are modifiers tab over here let's click add modifier array and you could see that it



40

00:03:28,660 --> 00:03:30,660

basically duplicates our mesh.



41

00:03:30,700 --> 00:03:39,900

And any thing that we change on this original one it will actually change on the second one as well.



42

00:03:40,090 --> 00:03:40,810

Awesome.



43

00:03:40,810 --> 00:03:42,040

How cool is that.



44

00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,530

So we only have one object to edit.



45

00:03:44,590 --> 00:03:53,910

Now if I increase the number of counts you can see that we have more and more fence pieces.



46

00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,470

And it's a little bit pointy at the top so I'm going to go into edit mode.



47

00:03:59,860 --> 00:04:05,860

Sorry I didn't show you what I did there went to Elmo by hitting tab Z to go into wireframe B to get



48

00:04:05,860 --> 00:04:08,110

my crosshairs select.



49

00:04:08,620 --> 00:04:11,700

Bring it down.



50

00:04:11,700 --> 00:04:12,030

All right.



51

00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,620

To go back into object mode Z to go back into solid mode.



52

00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:21,090

And now you can see that we have our fence pretty awesome array here this is a relative offset.



53

00:04:21,110 --> 00:04:22,480

So right now it's set to 1.



54

00:04:22,490 --> 00:04:28,360

So they're right next to each other if you want to set it apart a little bit you could increase this



55

00:04:28,370 --> 00:04:29,160

amount.



56

00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:37,320

But what this allows for us to do is to edit one single piece of object and then all the other ones



57

00:04:37,410 --> 00:04:44,010

are edited at the same time so we don't have to go through each one individually individually to change



58

00:04:44,010 --> 00:04:44,620

them.



59

00:04:44,670 --> 00:04:45,740

Pretty cool.



60

00:04:46,460 --> 00:04:52,130

One thing I want to do quickly is get one to go into front view.



61

00:04:52,200 --> 00:05:00,210

I want to add some kind of a bare barrier here or a little a little what do you call it like a little



62

00:05:00,210 --> 00:05:00,710

piece here.



63

00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:01,830

Connecting the two.



64

00:05:02,070 --> 00:05:07,290

So what I'm going to do is going to face are actually I'm going to go into a face like the mode control



65

00:05:07,290 --> 00:05:17,900

tab face select this face right here shift the bring it out rotate so are 90.



66

00:05:17,930 --> 00:05:19,580

Rotate it 90 degrees.



67

00:05:19,780 --> 00:05:28,000

Scale it in bring it about there tumble around and I'm going to hit the delete key or the period key



68

00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:36,980

on my numpad to focus in on this I'm going to bring it into the center of my fence and then hitting



69

00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,390

it to extrude.



70

00:05:38,610 --> 00:05:46,340

I'm going to extrude it out to about here one of numpad go back in Front View tab to go into object



71

00:05:46,340 --> 00:05:53,490

mode and I'm going to decrease the relative offset so that we are connected and we put it to about there.



72

00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:54,260

So awesome.



73

00:05:54,260 --> 00:06:02,600

Now we have what looks like a picket fence and the best part of it is it's only one object.



74

00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:03,410

How cool is that.



75

00:06:03,410 --> 00:06:06,200

And any change you make here will change.



76

00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,660

The other one so that's the array modifier.



77

00:06:08,660 --> 00:06:11,090

And these are the options on it right here.



78

00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,180

You have different options which we will get into more later.



79

00:06:15,260 --> 00:06:20,510

But these are the basic options the count and the relative offset.



80

00:06:20,510 --> 00:06:25,640

So again you could offset it on the other axes as well such as like this.



81

00:06:25,630 --> 00:06:31,230

This is very useful for stairs or bricks or anything of that nature.



82

00:06:31,610 --> 00:06:32,630

And you could offset it.



83

00:06:32,630 --> 00:06:35,920

On the other axis as well.



84

00:06:36,510 --> 00:06:38,140

Like so.



85

00:06:38,150 --> 00:06:42,320

So those are the two main options that you're going to be using for the array modifier again there's



86

00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,790

more in the future.



87

00:06:43,790 --> 00:06:50,300

And for the most part modifiers you do not apply them unless you need to when you're finally done because



88

00:06:50,300 --> 00:06:54,780

let's say you want to edit your fence and let's say you want to.



89

00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,000

You don't have to do this.



90

00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,680

I'm going to undo it but let's say you want to extrude this.



91

00:06:58,700 --> 00:07:03,430

Scale it down and extrude it out to add that detail on it.



92

00:07:03,620 --> 00:07:11,360

If you had applied it for example if I do this if I apply this modifier now everything is a separate



93

00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:12,290

mesh.



94

00:07:12,460 --> 00:07:18,150

And the problem with that is if I edit this one the other ones aren't edited anymore.



95

00:07:18,350 --> 00:07:24,680

So for the most part you want to keep your array modifier until you're absolutely certain that the that



96

00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:30,560

your you're editing is finished or that you need to edit the other one separately.



97

00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,670

Let's say you want this one to look different because you want it to have a crack but you don't know



98

00:07:34,670 --> 00:07:37,230

all the other ones have a crack then you would apply it.



99

00:07:37,460 --> 00:07:41,420

So that's the array modifier super awesome tool you use it a lot.



100

00:07:41,420 --> 00:07:45,360

I'll show you more awesome ways to use our RE modifier in the near future.



101

00:07:45,380 --> 00:07:52,040

And again these are the these are the options that you would use the Count and the relative offset the



102

00:07:52,040 --> 00:08:01,080

other ones we will go into a little bit later and our quote for the end of this tutorial is as follows.



103

00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,950

Ladies and gentleman give it everything you got.



104

00:08:05,010 --> 00:08:06,310

Give it your all.



105

00:08:06,390 --> 00:08:11,760

You might take a shot at it and fall but never say that you didn't give it all your heart.



106

00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,870

Right from the beginning right from the start.



107

00:08:15,030 --> 00:08:15,840

Everything you do.



108

00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:21,420

Ladies and gentlemen given everything you got your three arts your life your business what ever you



109

00:08:21,420 --> 00:08:22,230

do in life.



110

00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,230

Just give it your all.



111

00:08:24,230 --> 00:08:26,550

All right I'll see you in the next video.



112

00:08:26,550 --> 00:08:28,590

Appreciate you all season.
