1 00:00:06,210 --> 00:00:10,920 All right so now let's go ahead and animate our lattice with what we've just learned. 2 00:00:10,980 --> 00:00:15,440 And the first thing we need to do is go ahead and grab our lattice. 3 00:00:15,630 --> 00:00:18,120 Let's go to frame 24. 4 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:23,230 When our ball hits the floor hit one on the numpad to go into front view. 5 00:00:23,230 --> 00:00:26,660 And let's move it so that it's centered. 6 00:00:27,060 --> 00:00:27,380 All right. 7 00:00:27,390 --> 00:00:27,880 Awesome. 8 00:00:27,870 --> 00:00:32,860 So just like before we need to add some shape keys to our lattice. 9 00:00:32,970 --> 00:00:37,670 Now the first thing we need to do is go over here and make sure we're in the loudest hab with the lattice 10 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:42,360 selected and click the plus sign on shape keys. 11 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:48,640 Now again we have our basis which is the orange original shape of our lattice. 12 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:58,070 And we're going to go ahead and add one more Kiyan and rename this two ball underscore squash 13 00:01:01,110 --> 00:01:03,960 and now putting the value all the way to 1. 14 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,890 Let's go ahead and hit tab to go into edit mode. 15 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:16,500 Select everything and hit s and Z and you could see that our ball because it's spinning is not actually 16 00:01:16,500 --> 00:01:18,440 on the global Zed axis. 17 00:01:18,450 --> 00:01:21,810 You could see that as it's stretching a little bit weirdly. 18 00:01:21,810 --> 00:01:27,530 So just like we learned previously we're going to scale along the normal axis of the lattice. 19 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,770 So hitting z one more time. 20 00:01:30,030 --> 00:01:35,250 We are now scaling along the normal and it's scaling straight from this point to this point instead 21 00:01:35,250 --> 00:01:37,440 of scaling it diagonally. 22 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:42,210 So hit s z and then z one more time to scale along the normal. 23 00:01:42,570 --> 00:01:45,690 Let's go ahead and scale it way down. 24 00:01:45,690 --> 00:01:49,630 I'm actually going to exaggerate it quite a bit. 25 00:01:49,630 --> 00:01:51,950 So I'm going to make it like a cartoon ball. 26 00:01:52,020 --> 00:01:53,820 I mean exaggerated all the way here. 27 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,400 And left click to confirm. 28 00:01:56,460 --> 00:01:58,990 Now back into object mode by hitting tab. 29 00:01:59,250 --> 00:02:08,150 Let's go ahead and insert a key frame right here on frame 24 with the value all the way at one by hitting 30 00:02:08,220 --> 00:02:11,140 eye on your keyboard with your mouse hovered over here. 31 00:02:11,150 --> 00:02:14,810 Now you can see that the ball is no longer touching the floor. 32 00:02:14,810 --> 00:02:15,560 And don't worry about that. 33 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,810 We'll fix that in just a second. 34 00:02:17,990 --> 00:02:22,890 But for now let's continue making it animate and squash and stretch. 35 00:02:23,300 --> 00:02:32,220 So let's move ahead four frames by pressing the right arrow on your keyboard four times to frame 28. 36 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:38,940 And now just like an exaggerated animation I actually want it to squash and stretch. 37 00:02:38,940 --> 00:02:41,910 So right now it's already squashed when I hit the floor. 38 00:02:41,910 --> 00:02:48,890 Now I want it to stretch as you remember before the value goes to zero. 39 00:02:48,890 --> 00:02:54,810 But if we wanted to stretch like I said we could add in another shape he or we could put the value of 40 00:02:54,810 --> 00:02:58,370 the minimum down to negative 1. 41 00:02:58,650 --> 00:03:03,400 And since squashing and stretching is the same thing but inversed. 42 00:03:03,690 --> 00:03:11,510 Now we're able to go past 0 and when we do so it will actually move it in the opposite direction. 43 00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:13,710 So I'm going to move this all the way down. 44 00:03:13,740 --> 00:03:20,810 I'm going to put a value of Point 8 in here negative pointed scuse me. 45 00:03:21,410 --> 00:03:22,890 I'm like that's not right. 46 00:03:22,910 --> 00:03:24,700 Negative points eight. 47 00:03:24,860 --> 00:03:25,650 And then hit. 48 00:03:25,810 --> 00:03:28,940 I lock in the key frame. 49 00:03:29,210 --> 00:03:32,510 Moving ahead four frames two three four. 50 00:03:32,510 --> 00:03:34,420 I'm now going to add a pause. 51 00:03:34,460 --> 00:03:39,170 Or a positive value to this so that it's squashing once again. 52 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,950 But I'm going to put it less. 53 00:03:41,060 --> 00:03:47,570 So I'm now going to put in a point six positive value and hit I. 54 00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:54,080 So as it's going along it's squashing and then stretching and then squashing once again. 55 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,280 So it's going in and out of a squashing and stretching. 56 00:03:58,330 --> 00:04:02,030 Now moving ahead four more frames one two three four. 57 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,030 Let's go ahead and go negative. 58 00:04:04,510 --> 00:04:13,390 Negative point for and now we have it stretching once again hit I to insert the key frame. 59 00:04:13,570 --> 00:04:17,230 And moving ahead four more frames. 60 00:04:17,310 --> 00:04:25,060 Let's go ahead and put a positive value of point to you probably caught on by my master plan right now. 61 00:04:25,550 --> 00:04:29,870 Increasing it or decreasing it by point to every single time. 62 00:04:29,870 --> 00:04:32,180 So that's pretty much all I'm doing. 63 00:04:32,300 --> 00:04:35,910 And now we're going to move ahead four more frames and put it to zero 64 00:04:40,950 --> 00:04:44,000 and then hit the Ickey to insert the keyframe. 65 00:04:44,070 --> 00:04:49,320 Awesome so you can see that right here it's squash and stretch and it's squashing and stretching as 66 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:50,920 it's bouncing out. 67 00:04:50,940 --> 00:04:57,990 Now one problem though we have obviously is that it's squashed all the way since the beginning of the 68 00:04:57,990 --> 00:04:59,520 animation. 69 00:04:59,550 --> 00:05:06,700 Now we could go to frame one and you know go to frame one and put the value to 0 and insert keyframe 70 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:07,490 here. 71 00:05:07,610 --> 00:05:11,050 But easier a better way to do it is using the graph editor. 72 00:05:11,070 --> 00:05:15,990 Also when you use the graph editor to make sure that our ball is touching the floor as well. 73 00:05:15,990 --> 00:05:19,200 So let's go ahead and do that and split the screen. 74 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:27,560 Bottom left left click and drag and now select here and go to graph editor. 75 00:05:27,730 --> 00:05:29,170 Almost forgot the name there. 76 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:38,580 And now we're going to go over here and this is the trajectory that our ball is taking over here is 77 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:45,140 frame one and over here it's frame twenty four. 78 00:05:45,390 --> 00:05:51,240 So actually that's from 24 Scuse me and frame one is over here because we have no frame there. 79 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:58,910 Now one thing that we want to do is actually go ahead and insert a key frame at zero here. 80 00:06:01,750 --> 00:06:04,720 And then hit it answer a keyframe. 81 00:06:04,810 --> 00:06:11,760 And now what we want to do is you can see that it's actually inter prelate interpretating or Blendr 82 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:17,390 has put in zero all the way to a one right here in between. 83 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:18,900 So an easy way to do that. 84 00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:27,930 Make sure that's not stretching until it hits this point right here at 24 is you could go to frame 23 85 00:06:28,170 --> 00:06:33,650 ad in a key frame of 1 and then that frame are 0 and that frame 24 it jumps to 1. 86 00:06:33,850 --> 00:06:44,290 An easier way is to select this handle right here go to key then we need to go over here to extirpated 87 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:51,510 interpellation mode and go to constant. 88 00:06:51,530 --> 00:07:02,450 So now it will be constant at 1 or 0 Actually it will be 0 constantly all the way to the next key frame 89 00:07:02,450 --> 00:07:03,650 that we have. 90 00:07:03,650 --> 00:07:11,570 So at this keyframe it will be 0 0 0 all the way and then went to his frame 24 it goes to a value of 91 00:07:11,570 --> 00:07:15,610 1 and then it does the rest of the animation. 92 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:16,940 All right cool. 93 00:07:16,940 --> 00:07:20,330 Now let's take a look at it's actually touching the floor. 94 00:07:20,570 --> 00:07:29,710 So let's hit all h on Heidar floor and making sure that we have the empty selected. 95 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:38,510 Let's go ahead and in front for you by hitting one on the numpad go to the UN hide our hide that one 96 00:07:38,970 --> 00:07:42,830 and let's go to the Z location. 97 00:07:44,220 --> 00:07:54,620 And over here we can see that our bottom handle is not at zero So zero is the ground floor or the grid 98 00:07:54,620 --> 00:07:55,610 floor. 99 00:07:55,610 --> 00:08:04,730 If we had G and Z bring it down to zero or actually G and y Scuse me and now if we take a look at this 100 00:08:04,790 --> 00:08:07,790 you could see that it's going to zero. 101 00:08:08,270 --> 00:08:10,950 And you're like no it's not Alex it's going below the plane. 102 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:18,830 Actually it's going to zero because the origin of the sphere or of the mesh is at zero right now you 103 00:08:18,830 --> 00:08:21,640 can see the origin is zero. 104 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:28,520 But since the ball has geometry outside of the origin it's actually going through. 105 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:38,350 So we bring it a little bit above zero so g and Y and just bring it to where it's just touching the 106 00:08:38,350 --> 00:08:39,400 floor. 107 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:45,680 You could even look just under your plane and hit G and Y and just bring it. 108 00:08:45,940 --> 00:08:48,660 So that's hitting the floor right. 109 00:08:51,170 --> 00:08:57,230 So now it's hitting the floor nicely and you could see that it's bouncing pretty awesome. 110 00:08:58,020 --> 00:09:00,750 Now let's hit zero to go in the camera view. 111 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,320 Let's take a look at this. 112 00:09:03,510 --> 00:09:04,930 It's pretty cool. 113 00:09:04,940 --> 00:09:07,680 Now an easier way to see exactly what's going to be rendered. 114 00:09:07,790 --> 00:09:09,310 Select your camera. 115 00:09:09,750 --> 00:09:14,960 Let's go over here and put the alpha all the way to one. 116 00:09:15,290 --> 00:09:21,430 Now you will see only what's rendered and selecting your empty back again. 117 00:09:23,330 --> 00:09:24,890 Let's go back into camera view. 118 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:28,920 It Z. 119 00:09:28,940 --> 00:09:32,800 Let's scroll through this to see exactly what we're going to be seeing. 120 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,850 So you can see that it's actually looks pretty awesome. 121 00:09:38,020 --> 00:09:44,680 Now in another video we're going to be looking at actually some low tweaks and finishing touches that 122 00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:48,500 we could do for this to make it even look look even better. 123 00:09:48,550 --> 00:09:51,180 So you could see it's looking pretty cool. 124 00:09:51,250 --> 00:09:58,100 Now if you'd like the bounce to be higher or lower because right now it's a little bit out of the camera. 125 00:09:58,330 --> 00:09:59,530 We can move the camera. 126 00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:06,460 So if we select the camera we could hit r to rotate it and along the x axis a rotated up a little bit 127 00:10:08,310 --> 00:10:10,500 and then we'll have to move our plane as well. 128 00:10:10,500 --> 00:10:16,910 But going back to our empty you could see that the balance has a certain height to it. 129 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:23,520 Now if you want to change the height of the bounce if we select everything by hitting a on the keyboard 130 00:10:24,970 --> 00:10:27,120 then hitting s and a Y 131 00:10:29,860 --> 00:10:35,750 and scaling it down you could see that now we have a lower balance. 132 00:10:35,950 --> 00:10:43,820 But there's also a problem if we go to front view we could see that's no longer touching the floor. 133 00:10:43,860 --> 00:10:48,480 So an easier way to do that if we had control Z to undo that. 134 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:57,480 If we click right here on the middle point where our ball touches the floor and then we change it down 135 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:04,200 here from the bounding box center to the to the cursor. 136 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:11,880 So now instead of scaling from the bounding box or from our overall selection just like we had seen 137 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,510 in one of the first videos we're going to scale from the 2d cursor. 138 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:23,190 So if we saw a 2D cursor and now with everything selected hit s and Z we could actually scale it down 139 00:11:23,430 --> 00:11:32,100 and it's going to keep the center or the the impact point on the ground so we could hit s and y scale 140 00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:40,590 it down on the y axis and in that way we affect how much it bounces so obviously right here. 141 00:11:40,710 --> 00:11:42,570 It's not a lot at all. 142 00:11:42,570 --> 00:11:53,940 If we hit s y and we need a scale along the cursor which I moved by accident as why we can scale it 143 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,100 up and make our balance even bigger. 144 00:11:58,110 --> 00:12:02,970 So if your balance is going out of the camera you can either move your camera back or scale it down 145 00:12:03,270 --> 00:12:04,700 if you want a bigger bounce. 146 00:12:04,710 --> 00:12:06,280 You could scale it up. 147 00:12:06,450 --> 00:12:11,450 And this is really really cool because you can tweak your things. 148 00:12:11,490 --> 00:12:16,140 You're animating via this graph editor and not have to go back here and re-animate it. 149 00:12:16,140 --> 00:12:18,300 If you made it go too low. 150 00:12:18,630 --> 00:12:25,530 So again that's the graph editor that's the latus and empty and everything that we just went over that 151 00:12:25,530 --> 00:12:30,470 is pretty much it for the animation portion of it. 152 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,480 Now we're going to do a couple less things and then render this into a final animation. 153 00:12:34,650 --> 00:12:45,600 So keep in mind also that just like the 3D view port and the 3D objects you can scale things here from 154 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,810 your 2D cursor or your bounding box. 155 00:12:48,810 --> 00:12:55,320 Now make sure to set this back to bounding box after because if you have had three cursor or 2d cursor 156 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,420 and you start scaling stuff you're going to get all kinds of interesting results. 157 00:12:59,460 --> 00:13:06,660 So set it back to here so that you have it how it originally was because the worst thing is always doing 158 00:13:06,660 --> 00:13:09,360 stuff and messing up and you're wondering why is it doing that. 159 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,930 So you always want to set back the settings to how you would use them the most. 160 00:13:14,190 --> 00:13:14,430 All right. 161 00:13:14,460 --> 00:13:21,320 Let's go ahead and save this a file save as I'm going to name it Part 6. 162 00:13:21,390 --> 00:13:25,000 Stay with the theme of the numbers over here and save it. 163 00:13:25,020 --> 00:13:27,990 And let's go on to the next tutorial. 164 00:13:27,990 --> 00:13:29,910 All right see there. 165 00:13:29,940 --> 00:13:34,200 All right this one's for all of you listening in right now. 166 00:13:34,270 --> 00:13:36,350 Hope you enjoy it. 167 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,050 I hope you're enjoying these words at the end. 168 00:13:39,060 --> 00:13:43,340 I'm doing this all for you my friend thought sometimes run in my head for a mile. 169 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,750 But at the very least I hope these leave you with a smile. 170 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:51,000 So hope you're enjoying these words and these videos and learning a lot. 171 00:13:51,010 --> 00:13:53,820 I'll see you in the next video over.
