1

00:00:05,710 --> 00:00:10,480

All right now we're going to take a look at rendering our animation.



2

00:00:10,730 --> 00:00:13,000

Ah the final product is almost here.



3

00:00:13,150 --> 00:00:13,740

Sweet.



4

00:00:13,780 --> 00:00:17,010

So how do we render and what is rendering.



5

00:00:17,290 --> 00:00:23,170

Well if you go over here we have the render tab right here with the camera and rendering is basically



6

00:00:23,170 --> 00:00:29,110

Blendr taking into account everything that we did all the changes we made the lighting the textures



7

00:00:29,470 --> 00:00:37,510

the shadows the materials the animation pretty much everything and compositing it into images or into



8

00:00:37,570 --> 00:00:38,930

a movie.



9

00:00:38,980 --> 00:00:46,810

It's basically the final product of all the hard work you've done now to animate or to render excuse



10

00:00:46,810 --> 00:00:47,470

me.



11

00:00:47,470 --> 00:00:50,740

First I want to change a couple things on our scene.



12

00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:58,130

I want to scale this up by hitting as y and scaling it up so covers the whole ground.



13

00:00:58,140 --> 00:01:06,670

Another thing I want to do is add in a better light so going over here to the rendered tab or shading.



14

00:01:06,810 --> 00:01:12,540

I'm now going to leave this light that I have in here kind of like kind of like a chandelier I'm just



15

00:01:12,540 --> 00:01:17,440

going to leave this here it's going to be kind of like a chandelier lamp or light that we have here.



16

00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:23,350

But I'm also going to hit shift they add lamp and add in a sun lamp.



17

00:01:23,730 --> 00:01:25,050

Now I'm going to grab this.



18

00:01:25,050 --> 00:01:28,670

Bring it up and go to our lamp properties.



19

00:01:28,950 --> 00:01:35,580

Put the strength down to something like point to surely that's a little too little.



20

00:01:35,580 --> 00:01:43,720

Point seven point six guns a side view by hitting three on the numpad rotating it.



21

00:01:45,220 --> 00:01:49,140

And placing its In this corner.



22

00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:56,090

So I'm actually going to bump up the brightness just a tiny bit and change the color to a lightish yellow



23

00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,620

orange color as if it's the sun.



24

00:02:00,260 --> 00:02:01,360

Setting.



25

00:02:01,770 --> 00:02:07,890

It's a kind of a yellow pinkish orange color and going to bump it up a tiny bit more to 1.2.



26

00:02:08,210 --> 00:02:08,580

All right.



27

00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:09,260

Awesome.



28

00:02:09,260 --> 00:02:14,630

Now the last thing I want to do before we go ahead and render this is I want to position our camera



29

00:02:14,870 --> 00:02:19,630

so that we have a nice hour and nicer view than what we do now.



30

00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:25,000

If I hit zero on the numpad to go into camera view you could see that it will render from here.



31

00:02:25,310 --> 00:02:33,100

Now what I want is a little bit different because let's take a look at what this looks like right now.



32

00:02:33,110 --> 00:02:40,730

Let me also put on my graphics card rendering if you have a graphics card that can render our that's



33

00:02:40,730 --> 00:02:42,530

more powerful than you see.



34

00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:50,860

I recommend using it in order to do that and to check if you do go to File user preferences system.



35

00:02:51,170 --> 00:02:53,540

And right here is his computer device.



36

00:02:53,540 --> 00:02:59,300

Click on cued up and this would be your graphics card or it might say something else for your graphics



37

00:02:59,300 --> 00:02:59,930

card.



38

00:03:00,230 --> 00:03:06,480

Once you do that just go down here and change it from device you to GP you.



39

00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:12,830

So now using your graphics card if we hit render right now you can see that it's going to render what



40

00:03:12,830 --> 00:03:16,520

is seen in this camera view right here.



41

00:03:16,730 --> 00:03:21,930

Now it looks pretty cool but I want it to look a little bit different in my view.



42

00:03:22,130 --> 00:03:32,370

So I'm going to hit escape to stop that hit 11 to go back here and going to solid mode.



43

00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:43,740

I want to grab our camera and making sure that I'm on frame 1 I grab with the camera and rotate it like



44

00:03:43,740 --> 00:03:48,580

so and have it over here.



45

00:03:48,780 --> 00:03:51,210

I actually want to have it facing Suzanne.



46

00:03:51,210 --> 00:03:52,610

In the beginning so long.



47

00:03:52,710 --> 00:03:54,990

All are to clear the rotation.



48

00:03:55,750 --> 00:04:01,560

Going into a side view grabbing at and then just rotating it.



49

00:04:03,940 --> 00:04:14,530

Like so and then rotating it Z R and Z 180 degrees so that's facing the front or monkey head in the



50

00:04:14,530 --> 00:04:15,330

camera view.



51

00:04:15,340 --> 00:04:23,860

I'm going to hit the middle mouse button to zoom out and then just grab it up and then hit our twice



52

00:04:24,190 --> 00:04:29,020

to tumble around and face it this way.



53

00:04:29,030 --> 00:04:31,300

So this is kind of the intro shot that I want.



54

00:04:31,490 --> 00:04:32,120

I'm going to hit.



55

00:04:32,180 --> 00:04:36,890

I have location rotation scale.



56

00:04:37,020 --> 00:04:46,610

Now scrolling along on the timeline I want the camera to be here until just before the gate open so



57

00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:47,670

I'm going to hit I.



58

00:04:47,910 --> 00:04:51,650

Location rotation scale and then on the next frame.



59

00:04:51,660 --> 00:04:57,840

So from 93 it's here if you want an object to snap to a different place like right away.



60

00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:00,620

All you have to do is go right to the next frame.



61

00:05:00,630 --> 00:05:07,120

So frame 94 on frame 94 are going to go ahead and top view 7 on the numpad.



62

00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:18,600

Grab my camera with the GQ rotate it's and bring it up so that we can see the view of the whole house



63

00:05:18,630 --> 00:05:25,800

and then hitting G and the camera view and the middle mouse button to zoom out I'm going to bring it



64

00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,310

to about here.



65

00:05:28,170 --> 00:05:31,230

And then his I location rotation scale.



66

00:05:31,410 --> 00:05:37,480

So now we could see the result that we have pretty cool.



67

00:05:37,650 --> 00:05:42,360

Now when the gate is opened all the way I want it to be here.



68

00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:50,600

So round this frame I'm going to hit I a location rotation scale and now all the way to where Suzanne



69

00:05:50,690 --> 00:05:54,500

walks into the house I want our camera to be zooming in.



70

00:05:54,500 --> 00:06:01,490

So at the end of her arriving into the house I'm going to go to that frame which is frame about 220



71

00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,830

hit the middle mouse button and just zoom in.



72

00:06:07,730 --> 00:06:13,150

To the door and grab it with the key.



73

00:06:13,310 --> 00:06:16,310

And then her eye location rotation scale.



74

00:06:16,310 --> 00:06:23,390

So now if I hit shift spacebar to maximize this window shift left click to rewind are frames all the



75

00:06:23,390 --> 00:06:28,070

way to the first frame and then also to play our animation.



76

00:06:28,070 --> 00:06:30,470

You can see the result that we have here.



77

00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:31,580

Pretty cool.



78

00:06:31,580 --> 00:06:37,170

If I do say so myself it's simple animation but it's still pretty awesome.



79

00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:42,640

Now let's see how we render this thing.



80

00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:48,820

Stop it right there by hitting Alt A and let's go ahead and see what it looks like will render just



81

00:06:48,820 --> 00:06:50,880

one frame.



82

00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:59,300

So with rendering you would think that you would render the whole animation as a movie but that's actually



83

00:06:59,870 --> 00:07:07,700

probably the worst way to do it because here's the reason why when you render it as a movie or when



84

00:07:07,700 --> 00:07:09,050

you want to render as a movie.



85

00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:17,980

Let's say you're rendering it and it takes you 22 hours surrender it and on hour 21 your computer crashes.



86

00:07:18,290 --> 00:07:20,830

You've just lost everything.



87

00:07:21,140 --> 00:07:24,250

So you don't want to render it as a movie.



88

00:07:24,270 --> 00:07:29,870

Now let's take a look at the several different options and I'll show you what we will render it as if



89

00:07:29,870 --> 00:07:31,180

not a movie.



90

00:07:31,250 --> 00:07:36,380

I'm going to hit 11 here to go back to this viewport right here.



91

00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:41,960

And also I want to bring the lamp that's inside the house down a little bit because we can see it being



92

00:07:41,990 --> 00:07:43,590

rendered right there.



93

00:07:44,850 --> 00:07:48,410

And had zero bring it down just a little bit.



94

00:07:48,790 --> 00:07:55,180

And also I'm going to select this window that we have here shift the X and bring it to the other side



95

00:07:55,180 --> 00:07:58,900

so that we have two windows at least Suzanne can't have just one window.



96

00:07:58,900 --> 00:07:59,480

Come on.



97

00:07:59,710 --> 00:08:01,640

She's living in a nice house.



98

00:08:01,660 --> 00:08:02,880

At least I hope so.



99

00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,810

So now these are the different options that we have for rendering right here.



100

00:08:07,810 --> 00:08:09,830

This is to render a still image.



101

00:08:09,940 --> 00:08:17,230

This is to render an animation which would be a different it would be more images than one right here.



102

00:08:17,230 --> 00:08:24,550

Obviously we have the device which we render it with so GPS is faster than we have render presets right



103

00:08:24,550 --> 00:08:26,870

here you choose from 720 P to 10.



104

00:08:26,860 --> 00:08:30,220

Eighty two different formats and ratios.



105

00:08:30,220 --> 00:08:31,690

I'm just going to leave it as it is.



106

00:08:31,690 --> 00:08:34,500

Right now it's set to 1920 by 10 80.



107

00:08:34,570 --> 00:08:41,170

Now if we look at the image we just rendered right here the image is 1920 by 10 A.D..



108

00:08:41,260 --> 00:08:43,780

But it's also rendered at 50 percent.



109

00:08:43,780 --> 00:08:50,440

So if you want a full 1920 by 10 80 render you would have to bump this up to 100 percent and then it



110

00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:51,560

would be so.



111

00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,870

Keep in mind the higher the render the longer it will take to render.



112

00:08:55,870 --> 00:09:01,630

I'm just going to leave it at 50 right here is a start frame of your animation and end frame.



113

00:09:01,810 --> 00:09:07,950

So our animation ends at about frame let's say frame 225.



114

00:09:08,410 --> 00:09:13,220

So I'm going to put a frame to 25 because we don't need any more than that.



115

00:09:14,510 --> 00:09:17,150

This is the frames per seconds which is 24.



116

00:09:17,150 --> 00:09:18,600

We'll leave it at that.



117

00:09:18,620 --> 00:09:23,030

And now over here this is where you would select if you want to render it as a movie.



118

00:09:23,030 --> 00:09:28,310

Now once again you don't want to do that because it might cause some trouble if you lose your file or



119

00:09:28,310 --> 00:09:29,860

if it crashes.



120

00:09:29,900 --> 00:09:31,500

So how do we do that.



121

00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:42,740

Well what we're going to do is we're going to render it as individual images as 225 individual images



122

00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:48,440

and then we're going to put those images into a movie and we're going to give it the impression that



123

00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:55,050

it's a movie by putting all those images together because let's say you your computer crashes.



124

00:09:55,070 --> 00:09:57,630

Frame frame 223.



125

00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,090

Well guess what.



126

00:09:59,090 --> 00:10:03,680

Now you still have all the images because they've been saved to your computer and you could just go



127

00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:09,740

back to your file and start off at frame 224 and do frame 224 and 225.



128

00:10:09,890 --> 00:10:12,770

And you would have to rewrite the whole entire thing.



129

00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,210

So this is a great way.



130

00:10:14,210 --> 00:10:17,730

You want to render in images even if it's a movie.



131

00:10:17,930 --> 00:10:21,070

So the best formats are jpeg or PAGG.



132

00:10:21,110 --> 00:10:23,990

I personally like PMG much better.



133

00:10:23,990 --> 00:10:29,570

And again this is great especially if you're doing large projects Trust me you want to render in images



134

00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:37,090

because it ends up being the exact same thing except when a movie crashes you lose everything.



135

00:10:37,340 --> 00:10:43,130

If you render it in images you could start off from whatever image it crashed at that and this will



136

00:10:43,130 --> 00:10:47,720

all make sense once we put all these images into a movie you're probably wondering how the heck are



137

00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:55,580

images going to be a movie you'll see it's basically the same way that these frames are actually moving



138

00:10:55,580 --> 00:11:04,020

the monkey because if you look at this these are all one individual image or position of your thing.



139

00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:10,750

But when you scroll through it fast it looks like it's animating and that's exact same thing we're going



140

00:11:10,750 --> 00:11:12,060

to do with images.



141

00:11:12,070 --> 00:11:17,890

We're going to take them and make them scroll through the images just like one of those old flip images



142

00:11:17,890 --> 00:11:21,540

you know from Disney and it's going to give it the illusion of movement.



143

00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,090

So let's have it on PAGG.



144

00:11:23,110 --> 00:11:27,580

And then one last thing we want to look at there's a lot of different options here but we're not going



145

00:11:27,580 --> 00:11:29,000

to take a look at any of these.



146

00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,360

The last tab we want to look at is sampling.



147

00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,620

This is critically important.



148

00:11:34,540 --> 00:11:40,390

Under the samples right here we have the render samples and the preview samples if we go over here to



149

00:11:40,390 --> 00:11:41,300

render.



150

00:11:41,620 --> 00:11:45,550

You can see that right now says samples whatever out of 32.



151

00:11:45,550 --> 00:11:48,160

And if I move around it says like one out of 32.



152

00:11:48,370 --> 00:11:55,720

So the samples to pens the more samples the more clear your image is you can see that as I zoom in it's



153

00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:56,760

very grainy.



154

00:11:56,890 --> 00:12:00,430

And as the samples go up it becomes clearer and clearer.



155

00:12:00,610 --> 00:12:06,850

So these are the preview samples if I bump this up to 64 or let's say you can see that now up here it



156

00:12:06,850 --> 00:12:14,200

will render all the way to 64 and there will be many more samples in our image or in our animation making



157

00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,310

it clear.



158

00:12:15,460 --> 00:12:18,590

Now the render samples is set to 128.



159

00:12:18,610 --> 00:12:23,580

So when I render an image there will be 128 of these samples.



160

00:12:23,650 --> 00:12:29,380

Now the more samples you have the clear the image but the longer it will take I'm going to show you



161

00:12:29,380 --> 00:12:34,590

just to exaggerate it if I put this to two samples and hit F 12.



162

00:12:36,070 --> 00:12:39,860

You can see that's very grainy the really really grainy.



163

00:12:40,150 --> 00:12:45,170

So you want a number that will work for you and your computer and how much time you have.



164

00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,180

So I put it to 128.



165

00:12:48,420 --> 00:12:55,350

You will see that it's much clearer and much nicer and it's rendering every little cube right here or



166

00:12:55,350 --> 00:12:59,110

square to 128 samples.



167

00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:04,860

So those are all the options you need put the samples to a correct amount that gives you a nice feel



168

00:13:04,860 --> 00:13:09,660

to your image or to your animation or to your scene.



169

00:13:09,930 --> 00:13:20,660

And let me just grab the lamp and put it down even more so that we can't see it through the window.



170

00:13:21,140 --> 00:13:26,060

I still want that glow from inside though so I'm going to put it down a little bit more and then that's



171

00:13:26,060 --> 00:13:27,110

all the presets you need.



172

00:13:27,110 --> 00:13:33,230

So make sure that the resolution is good the frames are from one to whatever your frame ends at or your



173

00:13:33,230 --> 00:13:38,990

animation ends that also right here the images set them to PFG.



174

00:13:38,990 --> 00:13:43,690

And one last thing we need do we need a set of folder where these images are going to be saved.



175

00:13:43,700 --> 00:13:45,700

So clicking on this right here.



176

00:13:45,980 --> 00:13:52,940

Go ahead and create a folder for your for your renderers to go to.



177

00:13:52,940 --> 00:13:58,700

So here I have a folder called still's click accept and all my images are going to be saved are going



178

00:13:58,700 --> 00:13:59,480

to go there.



179

00:13:59,540 --> 00:14:00,640

You want to make sure I do that.



180

00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:05,150

Otherwise your images might go somewhere on your computer where you have no idea and then you have to



181

00:14:05,150 --> 00:14:10,200

go and find them and have a treasure hunt with your images for your animation.



182

00:14:10,370 --> 00:14:12,260

Not the funniest thing.



183

00:14:12,260 --> 00:14:16,490

All right so once you have that and once you have your samples we are now.



184

00:14:16,550 --> 00:14:18,830

We are now ready to animate this.



185

00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:23,930

And all we have to do is go ahead and click on animation.



186

00:14:24,020 --> 00:14:25,800

So let's do that right now.



187

00:14:28,590 --> 00:14:33,540

As you can see it's going to start with the first frame render out the first frame you can see right



188

00:14:33,540 --> 00:14:35,100

here says frame 1.



189

00:14:35,580 --> 00:14:41,180

It's rendering it all the way to 128 samples as a 1920 by 10.



190

00:14:41,290 --> 00:14:46,620

MH but at 50 percent resolution and you can see it's rendering.



191

00:14:46,620 --> 00:14:52,950

And once that image is done it's saved in your folder and it goes to frame 2 or image 2 and it's rendering



192

00:14:52,950 --> 00:14:54,690

that as well.



193

00:14:54,690 --> 00:15:00,030

So now we just leave our computer let it render all the way to 225 and we'll be back in the next video



194

00:15:00,210 --> 00:15:07,530

showing how to make our final images and stills into an actual video animation.



195

00:15:07,530 --> 00:15:09,180

All right I'll see you there.



196

00:15:10,100 --> 00:15:11,560

Do you guys like hiking.



197

00:15:11,700 --> 00:15:14,420

I love hiking So this picture is awesome.



198

00:15:14,610 --> 00:15:18,910

All right let's get on with our quote for the end of this tutorial.



199

00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,520

Don't settle for anything less than you are worth.



200

00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:27,060

Once you realize your own greatness the universe will as well.



201

00:15:27,150 --> 00:15:31,130

And once it does be ready for it will flow to you in abundance.



202

00:15:31,140 --> 00:15:33,300

All that you truly deserve.



203

00:15:33,630 --> 00:15:39,540

All right see the worthiness and the deservedness that's in you because you have it you are worthy of



204

00:15:39,540 --> 00:15:41,240

whatever you want.



205

00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:42,620

All right you guys take care.



206

00:15:42,690 --> 00:15:46,110

207

00:15:46,140 --> 00:15:47,600

If I'm ever in your area.



208

00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:47,930

All right.



209

00:15:47,930 --> 00:15:49,050
