00:00:05,780 --> 00:00:10,430

All right in this quick video let's take a look at what are called MTS.



2

00:00:10,470 --> 00:00:16,600

So we've taken a look at meshes which are our plane and our sphere.



3

00:00:16,650 --> 00:00:23,040

We also know what lamps are and cameras but there are an lattices of course now that we've done our



4

00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:29,460

last tutorial but there's something else called empties in blender and they are very very useful.



5

00:00:29,460 --> 00:00:33,080

And I'm going to show you what they are and how we use them.



6

00:00:33,090 --> 00:00:39,210

So going into view by hitting one of the numpad let's make sure our cursor is centered in the sphere



7

00:00:39,540 --> 00:00:45,090

if not right click your sphere or your ball shift as cursor to selected.



8

00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:49,280

Now let's go ahead and hit shift day as you can see under the mesh.



9

00:00:49,290 --> 00:00:55,090

These are the meshes we've been using before we were familiar with speed with the camera and the lamp.



10

00:00:55,230 --> 00:00:57,300

And we also use lattice.



11

00:00:57,300 --> 00:01:05,750

Now we're going to go to the empty and for the empty Let's go ahead and select plane axes.



12

00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:11,350

Now I'm going to hit Z to go into wireframe and you could see what our empty looks like.



13

00:01:11,530 --> 00:01:16,420

Let's actually go ahead and hide the ball and the lattice by selecting them right clicking and hitting



14

00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,550

h to hide and the floor as well.



15

00:01:20,770 --> 00:01:27,730

So this right here is what's called an empty and an empty is just as the name implies is just an empty



16

00:01:27,730 --> 00:01:29,650

point of reference.



17

00:01:29,650 --> 00:01:32,900

This is not a mesh is not object or camera.



18

00:01:32,950 --> 00:01:38,800

It doesn't affect the scene or do anything in any way unless you assign it to.



19

00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,940

And it's basically it doesn't get rendered or anything either.



20

00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,350

It's basically an onion.



21

00:01:44,350 --> 00:01:48,090

Show you how to how we use this in the next video.



22

00:01:48,190 --> 00:01:56,140

But Aunty's are used for various different things and they're extremely useful because they don't affect



23

00:01:56,140 --> 00:02:01,830

our scene directly but their use to effect are seen indirectly.



24

00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:07,960

Now the empty options are over here you can see we have our empty tab right here and down here we could



25

00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,890

select just how the empty looks and the size of it.



26

00:02:11,890 --> 00:02:13,890

So again these don't do anything.



27

00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,080

They are just for reference.



28

00:02:16,090 --> 00:02:18,700

It doesn't matter which one you select.



29

00:02:18,730 --> 00:02:21,150

You can actually select which ever one you want.



30

00:02:21,190 --> 00:02:24,940

Right here this one displays the coordinates which are pretty nice.



31

00:02:25,180 --> 00:02:27,840

But for now I'm just going to leave that on plain axes.



32

00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,470

And this is the size as the name implies.



33

00:02:31,540 --> 00:02:36,370

So that's an empty and again an empty does not get rendered in your scene.



34

00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,130

It doesn't affect your scene.



35

00:02:38,170 --> 00:02:39,430

It doesn't light your scene.



36

00:02:39,430 --> 00:02:41,640

It's not a mesh you can't edit it.



37

00:02:41,710 --> 00:02:45,630

It's actually used in relationship with other objects.



38

00:02:45,630 --> 00:02:52,340

So for the most part you would not have an empty just by itself you would be using it with another object.



39

00:02:52,340 --> 00:02:57,850

Another image with something in your 3D scene that will be affecting.



40

00:02:57,970 --> 00:03:02,670

So let's take a look at how an empty works in the next video.



41

00:03:05,050 --> 00:03:06,400

You are a liar.



42

00:03:06,410 --> 00:03:07,780

Hey.



43

00:03:08,830 --> 00:03:09,490

All right.



44

00:03:09,610 --> 00:03:11,730

Here's a poem for this video.



45

00:03:11,860 --> 00:03:13,270

You are Alive.



46

00:03:13,420 --> 00:03:16,110

This life is not meant for you to just survive.



47

00:03:16,270 --> 00:03:18,610

So look up be merry and thrive.



48

00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:25,090

Put a spring in your step and a smile on your face and I'll guarantee that you'll go someplace live



49

00:03:25,210 --> 00:03:28,180

laugh give and help others rise above.



50

00:03:28,180 --> 00:03:30,320

There's never a short supply of love.



51

00:03:30,460 --> 00:03:35,800

Do this each and every single day and in the end you'll realize how many people you've impacted in a



52

00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,210

positive way.



53

00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,120

All right guys life is amazing.



54

00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,080

Make the most of it every day.



55

00:03:42,220 --> 00:03:44,880

And with that I'll leave you on that positive note.



56

00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:45,990

I have an amazing one.



57

00:03:46,030 --> 00:03:47,200

Put a smile on your face.



58

00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,040

Appreciate you.



59

00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,430

See you in the next video.
