1

00:00:05,770 --> 00:00:14,450

All right now we're going to take a look at lattices and the latus modifier which is really awesome



2

00:00:14,710 --> 00:00:19,960

and latticed basically allows us to squash and stretch our mesh.



3

00:00:20,140 --> 00:00:27,610

So you would use us for a ball you could use this for a character that might have you know some extra



4

00:00:27,970 --> 00:00:34,680

some extra pounds on them that might be kind of bouncy and they squash as they walk and you could use



5

00:00:34,690 --> 00:00:41,940

this for a lot of different things so it's really awesome little tool that we have here and a modifier.



6

00:00:42,190 --> 00:00:48,640

The way we're going to add them a lattice modifier is first going to front view by hitting one on numpad



7

00:00:48,970 --> 00:00:53,740

and then hitting five on your numpad to go into orthographic view.



8

00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:59,350

We're going to be adding it around the ball to make it so that squashing and stretching as we're animating



9

00:00:59,350 --> 00:00:59,880

it.



10

00:01:00,130 --> 00:01:07,810

Now having five to go back in perspective we could if I hit s and Z could see that we could scale along



11

00:01:07,810 --> 00:01:11,790

the z axis and we could use that for a squash effect.



12

00:01:11,980 --> 00:01:20,500

But it might be good for a ball and it might work good for those ball but you want to get used to using



13

00:01:20,500 --> 00:01:27,610

a lot more fire because you have much more control over it and it adds a more realistic effect to it



14

00:01:27,670 --> 00:01:28,720

as well.



15

00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,640

It's a lot better you have more manipulation with it.



16

00:01:31,690 --> 00:01:37,570

And again for a simple object like a ball it might be OK you might be able to get away with it but for



17

00:01:37,570 --> 00:01:43,310

future things Latta's modifier is amazing and it's critical to use that.



18

00:01:43,310 --> 00:01:47,840

So let's go back into front view with one and five on the numpad.



19

00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:55,800

Let's go ahead and first off let's hit shift s and we're going to put cursor to selected.



20

00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,950

So this is basically going to snap our cursor to our selection that we have here.



21

00:02:01,770 --> 00:02:06,980

And now let's hit shift day and we're going to add a lattice.



22

00:02:07,290 --> 00:02:09,920

And now it's added it to our selection here.



23

00:02:10,110 --> 00:02:18,030

Let's hit zero to go into wireframe over here and then scale it up just above the ball so that the whole



24

00:02:18,030 --> 00:02:22,920

ball is within this cube that we have right here.



25

00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:29,640

Now going back into perspective mode hitting 5 numpad Let's go ahead and select the ball go here to



26

00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:40,530

the modifiers tab Let's click add modifier and let's add in a lattice modifier which can be found over



27

00:02:40,530 --> 00:02:41,320

here.



28

00:02:42,370 --> 00:02:49,720

Now all we have to do is select our ball which let's actually rename this ball go to the object tab



29

00:02:50,020 --> 00:03:00,190

and let's name it Beach underscore vaule Ellis name or latus modifier and then leave the name latus



30

00:03:00,210 --> 00:03:06,760

under the name it Beach underscore Bauld underscore latus.



31

00:03:06,990 --> 00:03:07,240

All right.



32

00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,470

Back to our ball.



33

00:03:08,590 --> 00:03:10,270

Let's go to the modifiers tab.



34

00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,630

And we took a look at the array modifier previously and this is another modifier.



35

00:03:14,620 --> 00:03:15,910

Now that's really awesome.



36

00:03:15,910 --> 00:03:20,950

It's the latest modifier and works in conjunction in conjunction with the lattice.



37

00:03:20,950 --> 00:03:27,820

Now all we have to do is go to the object and select beach ball latus which is our lattice that we have



38

00:03:27,820 --> 00:03:35,440

right here and now if we go to the lattice or the cube that we have here hit tab to go into what's edit



39

00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,060

mode for the lattice.



40

00:03:37,330 --> 00:03:40,650

You can see that I have points on the lattice here as well.



41

00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:46,690

And if I grab these by right clicking on them and hitting g to grab you can see that's deforming and



42

00:03:46,690 --> 00:03:55,050

stretching the mesh of our ball here so we can get some pretty awesome cark too to cartoonist stick



43

00:03:55,060 --> 00:03:57,770

or even realistic results with this.



44

00:03:57,910 --> 00:04:04,020

And it's really cool because you can manipulate it in whichever way you want as so.



45

00:04:04,270 --> 00:04:06,070

So that is the latus modifier.



46

00:04:06,070 --> 00:04:07,930

It's really cool modifier.



47

00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,360

And this is the strength down here.



48

00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:17,530

So if we put the strength down all the way to point 1:08 can see that if I go back to latus now it's



49

00:04:17,530 --> 00:04:19,780

only affecting a tiny bit.



50

00:04:20,020 --> 00:04:26,140

So if you don't want it to affect it completely at 100 percent you put down the strength and you could



51

00:04:26,140 --> 00:04:33,060

see that it's only affecting it at a very fraction of what it was before.



52

00:04:33,550 --> 00:04:34,380

Let's go back to that.



53

00:04:34,390 --> 00:04:36,300

Put the strength all the way to 1.



54

00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,710

Also right here we have verdict's vertex groups which we'll take a look at a little bit later in future



55

00:04:41,710 --> 00:04:43,210

to Tauriel possibly.



56

00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:52,940

But one last thing I want to show you on the lattice is basically if you go over here to the lattice



57

00:04:52,940 --> 00:04:57,840

modifier tab and this is found under the lattice not the actual beach ball.



58

00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:04,400

So right here on the beach ball we have the modifier for the lattice and this affects the beach ball



59

00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:10,130

and how the beach ball is affected but to affect the actual modifier and or to actually change the lattice



60

00:05:10,130 --> 00:05:10,910

itself.



61

00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:17,580

Just select the lattice and go over here to the lattice option tab in our properties window.



62

00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:25,010

Now the only options I want to show you right here for now is the u and v and w options right here.



63

00:05:25,010 --> 00:05:28,280

Now this is basically like the subdivisions of the lattice.



64

00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:29,440

So right now it's at 2.



65

00:05:29,450 --> 00:05:37,760

If I bump this up you can see that it basically adds in some loop cuts here on the U coordinates on



66

00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,430

the axis.



67

00:05:39,470 --> 00:05:44,510

So if I had have to go into edit mode I could then select these additional points now.



68

00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:53,540

And I have even more or different angles on how to manipulate and stretch the ball and the object.



69

00:05:53,570 --> 00:05:59,130

We also add them along the V access or the W axis.



70

00:05:59,180 --> 00:06:05,600

So now we have all of these and we could actually manipulate it and stretch it from any angle and position



71

00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:06,570

possible.



72

00:06:06,650 --> 00:06:10,660

So that is the lattice modifier and the lattice object.



73

00:06:10,820 --> 00:06:11,630

It's pretty cool.



74

00:06:11,630 --> 00:06:14,800

You can get some pretty awesome results with this.



75

00:06:14,810 --> 00:06:22,730

And of course you can animate the lattice so that it gives you these kind of awesome stretching effects



76

00:06:22,820 --> 00:06:25,290

on the ball or whatever object you use.



77

00:06:25,540 --> 00:06:31,630

Let's put this back down to two because that's all we're going to be needing for now up until this point.



78

00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:32,930

We might add some later.



79

00:06:33,140 --> 00:06:34,680

But two is fine on each of those.



80

00:06:34,700 --> 00:06:38,540

And again that is of a lattice modifier and object.



81

00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,550

They are used to squash and stretch that is pretty much what the lattice does.



82

00:06:43,790 --> 00:06:49,810

All right let's take control as to save our file and I'll see you in the next one.



83

00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:51,520

Ciao.



84

00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:52,250

All right.



85

00:06:52,290 --> 00:06:57,590

Alex is quote of the video and you guys are getting used to these.



86

00:06:57,590 --> 00:06:59,990

I'm going to run out of things to say.



87

00:07:00,420 --> 00:07:01,050

I don't know.



88

00:07:01,050 --> 00:07:01,910

I don't think so.



89

00:07:02,130 --> 00:07:04,180

All right quote for today.



90

00:07:04,230 --> 00:07:06,290

Shine your light like the sun.



91

00:07:06,420 --> 00:07:13,230

You have the power to be the one to touch the lives of not just a few but all of those that are around



92

00:07:13,230 --> 00:07:14,040

you.



93

00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,150

I guess be a positive source of energy to all those around you.



94

00:07:18,150 --> 00:07:19,010

Appreciate you all.



95

00:07:19,020 --> 00:07:24,620

There is positivity to leave you for the day or if you head off to the next video you'll have some more.



96

00:07:24,630 --> 00:07:25,440

Appreciate you all.



97

00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,500

See you in the next video.
