1 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,690 All right now let's take a look at how to add textures. 2 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:11,870 So what are textures. 3 00:00:11,910 --> 00:00:18,180 While the materials we've added are great so far but they're very bland and like they only have one 4 00:00:18,180 --> 00:00:27,000 color to them textures add a lot more detail to our Mash and to our object now textures are basically 5 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,330 an image that we project onto our three dimensional object. 6 00:00:31,380 --> 00:00:35,370 So we're going to be adding texture to our fence right here. 7 00:00:35,370 --> 00:00:42,780 One of the best places to get textures is CGU textures dotcom now known as textures dotcom go over here 8 00:00:42,870 --> 00:00:46,030 and we're going to go to the wood textures. 9 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:55,800 Underwood we're going to go to Plank's and we're going to go to bare now bare like BTA are. 10 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,370 Are you going to select this one right here. 11 00:00:59,650 --> 00:01:02,680 And to get free textures here all you have to do is create an account. 12 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:03,250 It's FREE. 13 00:01:03,260 --> 00:01:04,270 It's awesome. 14 00:01:04,270 --> 00:01:05,760 You can get a lot of great texture. 15 00:01:05,770 --> 00:01:08,170 So I highly recommend you do so. 16 00:01:08,390 --> 00:01:10,940 We're going to go ahead and download this one right here. 17 00:01:12,130 --> 00:01:19,730 And once it's downloaded just save this image wherever you want on your computer going back into blender. 18 00:01:19,930 --> 00:01:28,720 Let's select our fence hit one to go into front view and let's start texturing this or let's apply that 19 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:29,840 texture to it. 20 00:01:30,100 --> 00:01:31,530 I'm going to hide the House once again. 21 00:01:31,540 --> 00:01:37,640 So select a house right click and then H.E. to hide with the fence selected. 22 00:01:37,650 --> 00:01:45,120 Let's make sure that we are in cycles render not the blender render cycles and going over here to the 23 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,470 materials tab. 24 00:01:46,650 --> 00:01:51,440 Let's add a new material and leave it at that. 25 00:01:51,450 --> 00:01:55,920 Now we have to split our viewport to do that. 26 00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:02,580 Just go to the bottom left over here where you can see these little triangles and left click and drag 27 00:02:02,580 --> 00:02:04,770 to split the viewport. 28 00:02:04,770 --> 00:02:08,130 This won't we're going to change it to the U-V image editor. 29 00:02:08,220 --> 00:02:14,490 Now the U.V. image editor is basically where we're going to be adding and our textures. 30 00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:22,980 U-V are the coordinates for this image editor just like x y and z are the coordinates for here you and 31 00:02:22,980 --> 00:02:28,910 V are the coordinates for this two dimensional space that we're going to be working in here. 32 00:02:29,090 --> 00:02:39,150 Now to project our image onto this fence all we have to do is hit tab to go into Edit Mode A to select 33 00:02:39,150 --> 00:02:40,100 everything. 34 00:02:40,380 --> 00:02:54,080 And then you unwrap and now if we go down here Click image open image and find that image that you saved. 35 00:03:00,140 --> 00:03:02,950 Open it up you can see that right here. 36 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,230 Now we have that word in texture image. 37 00:03:06,230 --> 00:03:07,730 Now let's see how that looks. 38 00:03:07,790 --> 00:03:16,260 If we go back to object mode and go to rendered viewport you can see that nothing has happened. 39 00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:22,140 Because on our material we need to set it to image texture not diffuse. 40 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:28,590 So going down here to where it says color go ahead and select this little icon or this little button 41 00:03:28,590 --> 00:03:32,670 right here and go to image texture. 42 00:03:34,020 --> 00:03:40,100 And then click right here and select your image that you just load it into blender. 43 00:03:40,470 --> 00:03:41,540 And there we have it. 44 00:03:41,550 --> 00:03:50,370 We now have our image texture on our plane and actually let me go into material mode so that we could 45 00:03:50,370 --> 00:03:53,080 see a little bit better and there's not all those shadows. 46 00:03:53,430 --> 00:03:55,950 Now you can see it looks kind of strange. 47 00:03:55,950 --> 00:04:03,980 So I'm going to do is if I had to have to go into edit mode you can see how it's looking here. 48 00:04:04,290 --> 00:04:14,190 And the way I unwrapped it is basically what happens when you hit you to unwrap it takes this mesh and 49 00:04:14,190 --> 00:04:21,570 basically flattens it out onto the two dimensional image and it's then projected on there as you can 50 00:04:21,570 --> 00:04:31,100 see if I select this right here this Square right here is the top triangular face of the fence. 51 00:04:32,030 --> 00:04:41,770 This other one right here or if I move that this other one right here is the bottom part of the fence. 52 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,400 This one right here. 53 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:44,490 Etc. etc.. 54 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,180 Is that part of the fence so you can see what happened there. 55 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,020 Now the only problem with this let me undo all that. 56 00:04:52,050 --> 00:04:53,560 Only problem with this. 57 00:04:53,780 --> 00:04:59,270 And we could actually just leave it there because when we do it actually Control-C the problem with 58 00:04:59,270 --> 00:05:04,450 this is that the projection of this fence to here doesn't look like a fence. 59 00:05:04,460 --> 00:05:10,700 I mean it's like I said the triangular part of here is shaped as a square so it doesn't really represent 60 00:05:11,030 --> 00:05:13,110 what we're looking at too well. 61 00:05:13,430 --> 00:05:20,550 So a better way to unwrap it is to hit you project from view. 62 00:05:20,820 --> 00:05:26,990 And this will unwrap it from the viewport the viewport or the viewpoint that you see it from. 63 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:34,190 So you want to make sure to be in front view by hitting one on the numpad you and Projekt from view. 64 00:05:35,750 --> 00:05:39,900 Now you can see that projected this from the view that we're in. 65 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,380 And you could see right here it looks a lot better. 66 00:05:44,490 --> 00:05:51,720 Now what I want to do and the reason I got a image texture of multiple boards is because we're going 67 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:59,720 to be doing this hitting our to rotate and then 90 to rotate it 90 degrees. 68 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:06,930 We're then going to scale it down so that it fits onto one of these planks like so 69 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,460 and now you can see that it looks pretty good. 70 00:06:13,810 --> 00:06:15,240 Only one problem. 71 00:06:15,490 --> 00:06:24,560 Our fence has the same exact texture on every single part of it which doesn't look too good. 72 00:06:24,820 --> 00:06:32,830 So a way to fix that or to make it look better so has more variation is really simple. 73 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:41,490 We can either go here to our modifier apply the mirror modifier and then I'll show you what I mean if 74 00:06:41,490 --> 00:06:43,720 I apply the modifier mirror modifier. 75 00:06:43,830 --> 00:06:51,470 If I select this by selecting one face and then hitting L to select everything that's connected to it. 76 00:06:51,570 --> 00:06:58,410 I can then move this one and have it like so and have it have a different texture so that's not the 77 00:06:58,410 --> 00:07:00,720 exact same texture as the last one. 78 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,910 Now I could do that for all of these. 79 00:07:02,940 --> 00:07:09,900 But then again it might get a little tedious and annoying if we have too many of them so what I want 80 00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:20,310 to do if I hit Control Z to get our modifier back where I want to do is duplicate this one about two 81 00:07:20,340 --> 00:07:21,890 or three times. 82 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,020 And before I do that I want to see how the texture looks right here. 83 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:32,010 You can see that right here the texture is a little stretched and I'm going to be going over that enough 84 00:07:32,100 --> 00:07:37,250 in the next tutorial actually showing you how you could make that look nicer. 85 00:07:37,650 --> 00:07:44,910 But for now this looks fine as we're going to be looking at it head on like this for the most part and 86 00:07:44,910 --> 00:07:50,730 we're not really going to see right here where it's stretched like so and it still has a nice feel to 87 00:07:50,730 --> 00:07:51,540 it. 88 00:07:52,380 --> 00:07:57,020 But what I do want to do is add some variation here because this looks way too symmetrical. 89 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:04,150 So what I'm going to do is select everything in edit mode and hit shift d to copy it acts to bring it 90 00:08:04,150 --> 00:08:08,320 along x axis and then position up there. 91 00:08:08,540 --> 00:08:17,750 And here on the U-V image editor grab this one and move it to some other spots on the map and scale 92 00:08:17,750 --> 00:08:25,820 it down a little bit place it like so and do it one more time shift the X 93 00:08:29,750 --> 00:08:35,200 and move this one to another portion of the map. 94 00:08:35,300 --> 00:08:40,610 And in fact this low point re here where it's the connecting piece in between. 95 00:08:40,610 --> 00:08:48,140 We act we actually hover a massive list select a spot hit L to select everything and actually box select 96 00:08:48,140 --> 00:08:56,630 it like so select everything rotated 90 degrees and place it like so so that has a better texture and 97 00:08:56,630 --> 00:08:57,740 feel to it. 98 00:08:57,770 --> 00:08:59,350 Let's do the same with the other two. 99 00:08:59,540 --> 00:09:04,250 Select this one hit L to select everything that's linked. 100 00:09:04,610 --> 00:09:13,060 Hit the Beaky box select all this are to rotate 90 degrees and just place anywhere you want. 101 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,590 And finally with this one selected right click L.. 102 00:09:17,900 --> 00:09:26,030 So to select everything linked and then a to select everything are to rotate and 90 degrees. 103 00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:28,300 That way we have it nicely there. 104 00:09:28,340 --> 00:09:36,440 Now if I offset this a tiny bit you could see that now we have some variation in there because it's 105 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,060 only repeating every three of these. 106 00:09:40,060 --> 00:09:44,750 It's repeating every three fences or fence posts that we have. 107 00:09:44,750 --> 00:09:50,280 But it adds a little bit of variation in there because it's not the same one one after the other. 108 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:58,820 And the beauty about it is that we still have our array modifier right here to be able to add however 109 00:09:58,820 --> 00:10:04,450 much more we want and not have to it makes it much more duplicatable. 110 00:10:04,580 --> 00:10:10,310 And it's a system you know we don't if we want our fence to be 20 feet long we could just increase this 111 00:10:10,370 --> 00:10:16,460 and decreases whereas before if we had applied it and tried to change the texture that way we would 112 00:10:16,460 --> 00:10:18,800 kind of be stuck with a long fence. 113 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:24,830 Now if you do know how long your fence is going to be or whatever object if you know already that's 114 00:10:24,830 --> 00:10:27,770 going to be this long or this big or this is how it's going to be. 115 00:10:27,980 --> 00:10:31,250 Then you could definitely have it this long. 116 00:10:31,460 --> 00:10:38,810 Apply the modifier and then change how every single one of these looks on here you know go through each 117 00:10:38,810 --> 00:10:42,070 one individually and change them so that they have a different texture each. 118 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:50,330 And obviously that would be the absolute best result because in real life I doubt if it very possible 119 00:10:50,330 --> 00:10:52,910 that none of them have the exact same texture. 120 00:10:52,910 --> 00:10:56,520 So let's take a look at it in our rendered view. 121 00:10:58,070 --> 00:11:05,000 And you can see it's a little bit dark so I'm going to grab this fear that I have over here which is 122 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,810 my Miller Light still. 123 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:16,940 And if you don't have it just add in a sphere shift a mesh sphere right here go the materials tab added 124 00:11:16,950 --> 00:11:20,080 material and select emission. 125 00:11:20,150 --> 00:11:26,110 I'm going to move this to the front of the fence. 126 00:11:26,900 --> 00:11:29,770 And now going back into rendered mode. 127 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:31,970 Let's take a look at our fence 128 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:36,660 pretty cool. 129 00:11:36,670 --> 00:11:39,120 So now we have a texture on our fence. 130 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:44,530 It's looking a lot better because there is much more detail added to it. 131 00:11:44,530 --> 00:11:47,710 Now obviously the lighting is flushing it out a little bit. 132 00:11:47,830 --> 00:11:50,300 But I did want us to see what happened to our fence. 133 00:11:50,380 --> 00:11:57,970 So that is how you add textures to objects and a couple of other things. 134 00:11:58,060 --> 00:12:05,620 So on certain textures there are what are called seamless textures meaning if I have to go into edit 135 00:12:05,620 --> 00:12:15,670 mode and select these three fence pieces by hitting the a.e and then hit 8 select all these can see 136 00:12:15,670 --> 00:12:22,900 that if I scale this up it will repeat the texture over and over and over and over again even if it's 137 00:12:22,900 --> 00:12:26,980 going outside of the texture it will just keep repeating it. 138 00:12:26,980 --> 00:12:31,290 Now obviously we don't want this for this texture or this image. 139 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,280 We can see if I zoom in really closely it see that right here. 140 00:12:35,410 --> 00:12:39,580 This is one of the images right here is another one of these images. 141 00:12:39,730 --> 00:12:45,100 And then right here is another one and another one so it repeated it over and over and over again across 142 00:12:45,130 --> 00:12:46,510 all of this. 143 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:52,780 Now if you have what's called a seamless texture like I said a seamless sector is one which can be repeated 144 00:12:52,780 --> 00:13:00,160 like that over and over again without you seeing the seam or the edges of the texture. 145 00:13:00,310 --> 00:13:08,320 So images such as you know grass or sand or dirt or things of that nature can be seamless meaning they 146 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,120 can be repeated over and over and over again. 147 00:13:11,290 --> 00:13:18,840 So you don't have to have a texture that's like 10000 pixels by 10000 pixels you can have a decent size 148 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:19,320 texture. 149 00:13:19,330 --> 00:13:26,890 I would recommend 1000 pixels minimum and then you could just repeat that texture by scaling up your 150 00:13:26,890 --> 00:13:34,450 object and it will look just as great as having a huge texture which will take up way too much spot 151 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:39,640 or way too much space on your computer and in your animation. 152 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:44,020 All right so that's textures that's how you add them and project them onto there. 153 00:13:44,020 --> 00:13:52,510 Now let's take a look at how we could go about actually what's called adding seams so that we do not 154 00:13:52,510 --> 00:13:59,810 have this stretching effect on our mesh. 155 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,500 Here is our little quote for the end of this video. 156 00:14:03,500 --> 00:14:04,610 Trust your heart. 157 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,660 Never let the opinion of someone be the reason for doing or not doing something. 158 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:13,280 I think we all know deep down what's right and wrong what we should and shouldn't do and when we go 159 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,390 against that unfavorable results occur. 160 00:14:16,610 --> 00:14:21,860 We've all had beliefs and lies passed down to us since childhood from others who might of even had our 161 00:14:21,860 --> 00:14:26,120 best interests in mind but just didn't know any better. 162 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,980 These aren't necessarily the truth. 163 00:14:27,980 --> 00:14:35,330 The answers aren't found outside but within what we seek on the outside just provides an inner realization. 164 00:14:35,330 --> 00:14:41,330 What it takes is to look at the truth to trust in your higher self is to be aligned with truth. 165 00:14:41,450 --> 00:14:45,010 From this place any answer can be found. 166 00:14:45,020 --> 00:14:46,800 Ladies and gentlemen trust your heart. 167 00:14:46,940 --> 00:14:51,590 Trust what your higher self tells you and that goes for your three-D arts or anything in life. 168 00:14:51,740 --> 00:14:57,230 Don't let anyone tell you that you can't for example make money doing art or you can't accomplish something. 169 00:14:57,230 --> 00:14:59,150 Trust your self. 170 00:14:59,190 --> 00:15:01,020 All right I'll see you in the next video. 171 00:15:01,170 --> 00:15:01,530 Oliver.
