1

00:00:05,590 --> 00:00:10,790

All right now that we've added the latus and the empty Let's take a look at animating our empty.



2

00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:16,370

And the ball and actually locking in the rotation and location of our empty.



3

00:00:16,380 --> 00:00:20,550

That way we don't animate it in any way that we don't want to animate it.



4

00:00:20,790 --> 00:00:25,920

So the first thing we're going to do before we do that let's go ahead and split the screen right here



5

00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:33,390

by clicking on the bottom left corner and switching this mode to rendered mode and hitting zero on the



6

00:00:33,390 --> 00:00:35,730

numpad to go into camera view.



7

00:00:36,030 --> 00:00:43,590

Now selecting camera going to top view with seven on the numpad Let's hit alt art to clear the rotation.



8

00:00:43,740 --> 00:00:51,590

Grab it with the key are X to rotate along the x axis and position it to about.



9

00:00:51,590 --> 00:00:54,050

So let's bring it back.



10

00:00:54,770 --> 00:01:00,930

And also in the camera view hit the middle mouse button to zoom it out.



11

00:01:02,700 --> 00:01:10,240

All right grabbing the plane on the scale this up and bring it back so that it fills the entire viewport



12

00:01:10,330 --> 00:01:11,740

of the camera.



13

00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,770

Now this right here you can see this orange line on your camera.



14

00:01:15,770 --> 00:01:20,270

This is where it's going to render this is what is going to be in your animation or your final render.



15

00:01:20,270 --> 00:01:28,770

So you want to make sure that within this right here now selecting the actually let me position the



16

00:01:28,770 --> 00:01:30,180

camera a tiny bit more



17

00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,530

like so.



18

00:01:35,790 --> 00:01:38,780

Let me grab the plane and bring it back.



19

00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:46,630

And scale it up a little bit more.



20

00:01:46,630 --> 00:01:51,950

All right so now with the empty selected which is this right here.



21

00:01:52,270 --> 00:01:55,240

Let's go ahead and basically what our ball is going to do.



22

00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:00,850

And we want to select the empty not the ball where the ball is going to do it's going to go from here.



23

00:02:01,850 --> 00:02:06,800

Bounce right here in the middle of our scene and then bounce back out.



24

00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:07,610

All right.



25

00:02:07,610 --> 00:02:14,940

So let me actually zoom in the camera just a tiny bit more by hitting G and the middle mouse button.



26

00:02:16,540 --> 00:02:18,040

Or rotate it on the z axis.



27

00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:23,540

I'm just trying to get a nice angle over here and scale this down a little bit.



28

00:02:25,670 --> 00:02:26,360

Skillet.



29

00:02:26,410 --> 00:02:28,440

Make sure it fits the whole camera.



30

00:02:28,450 --> 00:02:28,750

All right.



31

00:02:28,750 --> 00:02:29,920

I like that right there.



32

00:02:29,980 --> 00:02:36,730

So our ball once again is going to go from here bounce here and then bounce back out.



33

00:02:36,730 --> 00:02:42,460

Now we want to make sure we have that empty selected and with the empty selected you could see that



34

00:02:42,460 --> 00:02:46,160

we are going to be moving our ball on the X-axis.



35

00:02:46,540 --> 00:02:50,180

So from left to right and also it's going to be bouncing.



36

00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,270

So it's going to be moving on the z axis.



37

00:02:53,290 --> 00:02:54,780

Now we don't need the other two.



38

00:02:54,790 --> 00:03:02,440

So let's go ahead and hit the end key go up here and this is where your the location is for this ball



39

00:03:02,470 --> 00:03:05,980

or the transformed properties for moving it.



40

00:03:06,250 --> 00:03:08,880

Let's go ahead and lock out the y axis.



41

00:03:08,950 --> 00:03:16,650

So now if you hit G to grab it can see that we can no longer move it along the y axis.



42

00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:22,190

It's constrained only to the x and to the Z as far as rotation.



43

00:03:22,380 --> 00:03:28,210

If we hit our why we're going to be rotating along the y axis.



44

00:03:28,530 --> 00:03:32,490

So you could see right here for here are why we're going to be rotating in this axis.



45

00:03:32,580 --> 00:03:34,430

So the other two we do not need.



46

00:03:34,470 --> 00:03:38,740

Let's go ahead and lock the X and the Z axis as well.



47

00:03:39,090 --> 00:03:41,800

So now we have all of those locked in place.



48

00:03:41,820 --> 00:03:45,870

Let's go ahead and do the first part of the animation of the ball.



49

00:03:46,020 --> 00:03:53,310

Go ahead and in front view by hitting one on the numpad make sure again that all of this and the grabbing



50

00:03:53,310 --> 00:04:02,630

and the Minimed the manipulation is on the the empty that we created not on the ball itself all right



51

00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:08,890

so grabbing the ball bring it just out of frame so to about right here so that it's right outside of



52

00:04:08,890 --> 00:04:10,940

your frame of your camera.



53

00:04:11,350 --> 00:04:17,830

Make sure you're on frame 1 and let's go ahead and hit I and location and rotation.



54

00:04:17,830 --> 00:04:20,940

Why don't you do the scaling as we won't be scaling it.



55

00:04:21,340 --> 00:04:26,940

Location rotation it's added and keyframe Now jump to frame 24.



56

00:04:27,250 --> 00:04:33,520

So that would be one second of animation because every 24 frames is 1 seconds go ahead and grab your



57

00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:40,320

ball and bring it to the center of your sphere.



58

00:04:40,350 --> 00:04:44,770

Or sorry of your of your camera and bring it right.



59

00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:52,990

Here to the SO heads and contacts the floor right there.



60

00:04:53,070 --> 00:04:53,350

All right.



61

00:04:53,350 --> 00:04:55,980

And let's go ahead and hit I.



62

00:04:56,070 --> 00:04:58,150

Location rotation.



63

00:04:59,020 --> 00:05:05,440

Now one thing that we want to do is actually I would like to have a better angle with the camera.



64

00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,310

So let me just see if I bring it down.



65

00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:15,740

And rotate it on the Z-axis bring it up a little bit.



66

00:05:17,670 --> 00:05:18,120

There we go.



67

00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,810

You can play around with the angle.



68

00:05:19,830 --> 00:05:23,110

All right selecting the Aksa the empty once again.



69

00:05:23,130 --> 00:05:30,040

Let's go back to frame one make sure it's still out of our camera view which it is now from frame 24.



70

00:05:30,060 --> 00:05:33,410

Let's go to frame 48 which is another second.



71

00:05:35,270 --> 00:05:40,700

Let's go ahead and first make sure that's not going through the floor and that it is nice.



72

00:05:40,700 --> 00:05:44,210

And even with the floor one thing you could do even is hit.



73

00:05:44,300 --> 00:05:51,710

Make sure you're in front of you by hitting one and then hit five on your numpad to go into orthographic



74

00:05:51,710 --> 00:05:52,610

view.



75

00:05:52,610 --> 00:05:59,420

So if we go back to frame 24 you can see that we could bring it down on the Z-axis just a hair more



76

00:05:59,870 --> 00:06:03,530

and then hit by location rotation.



77

00:06:03,530 --> 00:06:09,000

Now we're going to frame 48 by typing it in right here.



78

00:06:09,410 --> 00:06:15,410

Let's go ahead let's get out of orthographic mode by heading 5 to go back into perspective mode and



79

00:06:15,410 --> 00:06:16,480

let's go ahead.



80

00:06:16,490 --> 00:06:24,990

Still in the front view grab the empty and make sure that's centered within the camera and bring it



81

00:06:25,050 --> 00:06:33,630

out of your frame over here just making sure that the distances are about the same on each side it looks



82

00:06:33,630 --> 00:06:34,510

about good.



83

00:06:34,650 --> 00:06:42,480

So again bring it out of your frame too right here so that it's right outside the camera frame hit by



84

00:06:42,780 --> 00:06:45,040

location rotation.



85

00:06:45,570 --> 00:06:48,510

Now if we scroll through this we can see what happens.



86

00:06:49,410 --> 00:06:52,450

Our ball comes in and it goes out.



87

00:06:52,500 --> 00:06:57,370

Now you could probably see one thing that's not that good with this.



88

00:06:57,390 --> 00:06:59,780

Let me go ahead and go into camera view here.



89

00:06:59,790 --> 00:07:01,510

It will be easier to see.



90

00:07:01,950 --> 00:07:07,030

Let me close this up or actually I'll leave it open or close it whatever.



91

00:07:08,100 --> 00:07:14,050

Right here you can see that the ball kind of has a U shape to it.



92

00:07:14,070 --> 00:07:21,350

It's it's kind of doing a you know it's hitting the ball and having a U shape to the bounce of the ball.



93

00:07:21,420 --> 00:07:22,970

It's not going here.



94

00:07:23,750 --> 00:07:27,200

Bouncing here and then hitting the floor and bouncing off.



95

00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,180

It's kind of.



96

00:07:28,460 --> 00:07:33,590

I'm not too sure what it's doing but it's not realistic looking because as soon as it comes here and



97

00:07:33,590 --> 00:07:37,940

hits the floor it should bounce and then bounce up.



98

00:07:38,210 --> 00:07:40,050

And right now it's conscious gliding.



99

00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,680

And like I said making a U shape so is not what we want.



100

00:07:44,780 --> 00:07:50,150

And in order to do that we're going to be going into a graph and making a couple of tweaks and changes



101

00:07:50,180 --> 00:07:51,640

it's going to be really cool.



102

00:07:51,650 --> 00:07:57,850

So we're getting more and more into more advanced things so that is how you animate an empty.



103

00:07:57,860 --> 00:07:58,980

Same as everything else.



104

00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:05,690

And this is how you could lock in the rotation and location of any object so that you don't animate



105

00:08:05,690 --> 00:08:07,900

it in that particular direction.



106

00:08:07,910 --> 00:08:10,370

If it doesn't need to be.



107

00:08:10,370 --> 00:08:15,860

All right let's take a look at this graph that I'm talking about in the next video.



108

00:08:15,860 --> 00:08:20,190

Make sure to save your project of course.



109

00:08:20,340 --> 00:08:23,160

This one will make you ponder.



110

00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:30,570

At the end of the evening one should sit down and ask Did I give it my all on every test.



111

00:08:30,750 --> 00:08:35,070

You might analyze yourself and you will say I didn't seem to give it my all.



112

00:08:35,100 --> 00:08:37,830

On this day don't worry don't fret.



113

00:08:37,830 --> 00:08:40,210

You have tomorrow to place a new bet.



114

00:08:40,260 --> 00:08:43,240

Make the most of every single day.



115

00:08:43,290 --> 00:08:49,350

Ladies and gentlemen every day is a new blank canvas or should I say a new scene in blender where you



116

00:08:49,350 --> 00:08:51,790

could create anything that you want.



117

00:08:51,930 --> 00:08:53,260

So give it your all.



118

00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,500

All right see you on the next Tauriel Ciao of all.
