00:00:05,430 --> 00:00:10,620

All right now before we start animating our lattice Let's take a look at something really quick and



2

00:00:10,620 --> 00:00:17,850

that is the normal's of an object and what normals are because we use it quite a bit for editing and



3

00:00:17,940 --> 00:00:18,860

animating.



4

00:00:18,990 --> 00:00:21,910

And I'm going to show you exactly what it is.



5

00:00:21,930 --> 00:00:24,300

So hitting X to delete this cube.



6

00:00:24,330 --> 00:00:29,220

Let's go ahead and add in a new cube shift day and mesh cube.



7

00:00:29,550 --> 00:00:36,360

Now you can see that down here we have our 3-D manipulate set to global.



8

00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,380

However there's also different options right here.



9

00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:41,650

And there's one called normal.



10

00:00:41,740 --> 00:00:50,990

Now the normal is basically going to be perpendicular to whatever face there is for example if I hit



11

00:00:51,020 --> 00:00:56,290

tab to go into edit mode and hit control tab it's going to face select mode.



12

00:00:56,510 --> 00:01:06,860

You can see that if I select this face right here I have the Z the Y and the x axis right here dip dictated



13

00:01:06,860 --> 00:01:10,370

by the X the the red the green and the blue arrow.



14

00:01:10,370 --> 00:01:13,910

Scuse me with that came and talk mixing all my words together.



15

00:01:13,970 --> 00:01:16,140

So you could see that right here.



16

00:01:16,220 --> 00:01:18,970

Now let's say you go into the front view.



17

00:01:20,020 --> 00:01:22,260

And grab this and rotate it



18

00:01:25,260 --> 00:01:31,980

now you can see that the z x and y axis are still pointing in the same direction.



19

00:01:31,980 --> 00:01:41,160

So if I were to want to move this along here I can't do that with hitting G and Z because now it's still



20

00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,580

moving along the global z axis.



21

00:01:44,580 --> 00:01:45,690

So that's what this is.



22

00:01:45,690 --> 00:01:54,480

This is the global coordinates so the global z axis x axis and y axis which never change z is up and



23

00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,130

down x is this way and Y is the other way.



24

00:01:58,380 --> 00:02:05,280

So if we want to be able to change it and manipulate it from what are called the normals you would go



25

00:02:05,430 --> 00:02:13,440

here and switch it from global to normal and basically manipulating it from the normal means that it's



26

00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:19,020

going to always be perpendicular to whatever you have selected.



27

00:02:19,020 --> 00:02:26,460

So you can see now the z axis is perpendicular to the normal of this face or the way that this face



28

00:02:26,490 --> 00:02:27,570

is facing.



29

00:02:27,570 --> 00:02:34,450

So I can left click and grab the Z-axis and move it along the faces in what is called normal.



30

00:02:34,490 --> 00:02:39,960

Now if I hit G and Z it will move it along the global axis.



31

00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:45,040

But if I had Z once again it will move it along the faces normal.



32

00:02:45,270 --> 00:02:52,140

So that's very awesome to be able to edit it like that because it comes in very handy to want to move



33

00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,910

objects or edit them along the object's normal.



34

00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:04,230

Now if you select more than one face or more than one thing it will actually calculate what is perpendicular



35

00:03:04,230 --> 00:03:09,680

and average it out so you can see that right now the normal of these two faces is here.



36

00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:16,860

If I disliked everything you could see that it's put in this position right here because it calculates



37

00:03:16,950 --> 00:03:20,280

all of them and averages them out.



38

00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,790

Now it's the same thing in Object mode.



39

00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,930

If I go to object mode say for example and let me actually undo all this editing.



40

00:03:27,300 --> 00:03:32,840

If I go to object mode let's say I rotate my cube like so.



41

00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,100

And now let's say I'm still in global mode.



42

00:03:36,100 --> 00:03:38,680

Let's say I want to scale my cube.



43

00:03:38,830 --> 00:03:40,740

You know it's rotated like this.



44

00:03:40,750 --> 00:03:46,260

But if I hit s and Z it will scale it along the z axis like that.



45

00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,880

And that's not the result that I want.



46

00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:56,260

Let's say that I want to scale it along this angle of the cube you know make it longer and shorter this



47

00:03:56,260 --> 00:04:03,270

way while I could do it in edit mode you know by grabbing this and moving like that.



48

00:04:03,370 --> 00:04:11,350

But if I go to the objects normal's right here you can see that now the global axis is now on the normal



49

00:04:11,350 --> 00:04:12,940

axis of the cube.



50

00:04:13,060 --> 00:04:20,730

And because it's rotated this way the normals are now pointing this way and if I hit s and Z twice you



51

00:04:20,730 --> 00:04:24,820

actually scale it along the normal of the object.



52

00:04:24,820 --> 00:04:30,660

So it's really cool and the normal the object just like the face is dictated or just like the normal



53

00:04:30,660 --> 00:04:37,990

is dictated by the face right here and is perpendicular to the face in Object mode the normal is perpendicular



54

00:04:38,020 --> 00:04:40,840

to our center point right here.



55

00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:45,810

Now although you can't see it it does have a rotation to that point.



56

00:04:45,850 --> 00:04:52,440

So right now it's actually being perpendicular to the center Origin's normal.



57

00:04:52,440 --> 00:05:02,650

So again that's normal and global coordinates or positioning or 3-D manipulation you use these two very



58

00:05:02,650 --> 00:05:05,690

often so both global and normal.



59

00:05:05,770 --> 00:05:11,500

And once again the shortcut key for moving something along its normal is just grabbing it if you hit



60

00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:18,970

G and Z it will move it along the global axis and if you just hit the axis one more time whether it's



61

00:05:18,970 --> 00:05:24,910

Z wire X it will move it along the normal axes or coordinates.



62

00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,510

All right so now we are ready to animate our lattice modifier.



63

00:05:29,530 --> 00:05:31,920

Let's go ahead and go do that.



64

00:05:31,930 --> 00:05:37,130

All right ladies and gentlemen let's watch this beautiful sunset together.



65

00:05:37,450 --> 00:05:39,480

OK let's get to the quote.



66

00:05:39,970 --> 00:05:45,640

But if I was wrong all along trying to find something out there that I couldn't see never realizing



67

00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:51,220

that I was always inside of me and all I had to do was let go to be set free.



68

00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:51,990

All right.



69

00:05:51,990 --> 00:05:58,780

Sometimes the answers aren't outside but within ourselves so take a look inside see what answers you



70

00:05:58,780 --> 00:06:00,210

can come up with.



71

00:06:00,460 --> 00:06:00,760

All right.



72

00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:01,890

Appreciate you guys.



73

00:06:01,900 --> 00:06:02,950

You guys are doing awesome.



74

00:06:02,950 --> 00:06:05,170

By the way keep on going.



75

00:06:05,290 --> 00:06:08,860

I know you're getting tons of value in creating some awesome things.



76

00:06:08,980 --> 00:06:11,210

So I'll see you in next to Tauriel.
