1

00:00:05,780 --> 00:00:11,150

All right let's take a little break away from modeling and we're going to take a look at the text option



2

00:00:11,390 --> 00:00:13,790

that we have in Blender.



3

00:00:13,790 --> 00:00:17,980

So the writing or the text or how to add letters.



4

00:00:18,260 --> 00:00:24,420

Let's delete our default cube X delete getting 7 to go into top view.



5

00:00:24,470 --> 00:00:28,940

It shift day and let's go ahead and add text.



6

00:00:29,390 --> 00:00:29,890

Awesome.



7

00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:35,210

So like a lot of other objects as soon as we are it we have some options here but let's go ahead and



8

00:00:35,210 --> 00:00:40,940

look at it a little more in depth in the text properties panel over here.



9

00:00:41,790 --> 00:00:47,580

So selecting this we can see we have several different things here of course is the name of our text



10

00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,740

which we could rename it to testing right here.



11

00:00:52,740 --> 00:00:55,940

This is the resolution of your text.



12

00:00:56,070 --> 00:01:03,640

So the lower the number the less resolution the higher the number the more resolution over here is how



13

00:01:03,660 --> 00:01:07,630

B the resolution when it will be rendered.



14

00:01:07,740 --> 00:01:14,730

The officer is basically going to determine the thickness or the size of your tax system less the thinner



15

00:01:14,730 --> 00:01:19,010

it will be and the more the thicker it will be.



16

00:01:19,020 --> 00:01:25,110

Over here we have extrude now extrude basically does as the name would imply And as you would think



17

00:01:25,110 --> 00:01:34,910

it would it extruder the text out and of course you could offset it once it's extruded the depth is



18

00:01:35,030 --> 00:01:41,420

this is the bevel So the depth of the bevel that we can add on here you can see that like just what



19

00:01:41,420 --> 00:01:46,700

the bevel modifier is actually bevelling art text which is pretty cool.



20

00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,880

And we have the resolution of the bevel so we can smooth it out.



21

00:01:51,980 --> 00:01:54,980

The higher we go or bring it down.



22

00:01:55,130 --> 00:02:02,150

Now if we had Z to go into wireframe mode you can see what's happening if I changed the preview resolution



23

00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:09,020

it makes it either more resolution or more edge loops or less.



24

00:02:09,210 --> 00:02:17,130

Now it does only does it to the T and the E because the X and the t actually doesn't need less or more



25

00:02:17,250 --> 00:02:20,870

since they are just straight objects.



26

00:02:21,090 --> 00:02:29,670

However the E and the T both have curves so for curves you would need more resolution on them.



27

00:02:29,730 --> 00:02:35,090

Now again also the bevel depth and the resolution you could see how that changes right here.



28

00:02:36,090 --> 00:02:44,370

And it's adding more edge loops around the beveled parts of the mesh such as here to smooth it out.



29

00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:45,490

Pretty cool.



30

00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:48,350

Let's head CSY to go back into solid mode.



31

00:02:48,630 --> 00:02:50,120

And now let's go down here.



32

00:02:50,370 --> 00:02:55,300

You can see that we can add different kinds of fonts which we will be doing very shortly.



33

00:02:56,220 --> 00:03:02,670

Over here is the size of our text so you could do this or you could just like any other object you can



34

00:03:02,670 --> 00:03:11,670

hit the s key to scale it up to grab an R to rotate and of course if you hit tab you would think it



35

00:03:11,670 --> 00:03:13,540

would go to Edit mode.



36

00:03:13,770 --> 00:03:20,240

But when you hit tab you can actually change what your text says.



37

00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,460

So let's name this



38

00:03:24,820 --> 00:03:30,950

cool to Tuor real the first thing that came to my mind all right.



39

00:03:31,580 --> 00:03:38,680

So you could actually put in anything that you want by hitting the tab key.



40

00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:39,360

All right.



41

00:03:39,380 --> 00:03:40,890

Now let's go down here.



42

00:03:40,890 --> 00:03:43,440

Take a look at some of the other options.



43

00:03:43,580 --> 00:03:51,590

Of course you could align it to the left centered or to the right of your origin or your center point



44

00:03:51,650 --> 00:03:52,800

right here.



45

00:03:53,150 --> 00:03:54,800

So those are the main options.



46

00:03:54,800 --> 00:04:01,350

Of course you could offset it etc. and some other things are pretty self-explanatory.



47

00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,020

You can offset it on the y axis and whatnot.



48

00:04:05,300 --> 00:04:10,200

So those are the main options you're going to be using however are these top ones over here.



49

00:04:10,340 --> 00:04:14,020

You're going to be using the offset the depth resolution and extrude.



50

00:04:14,030 --> 00:04:16,040

And of course the resolution.



51

00:04:16,370 --> 00:04:23,510

Now let's take a look at how to change our font to change our font.



52

00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:32,030

All we have to do is go to our Fonts folder in blender and that can easily be found by going to our



53

00:04:32,030 --> 00:04:33,190

folder right here.



54

00:04:34,430 --> 00:04:38,260

Going to wherever blender is saved on our computer.



55

00:04:38,270 --> 00:04:40,840

So for me it's over here.



56

00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,650

Clicking on your blender folder and then going to data files.



57

00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,730

And selecting fonts.



58

00:04:49,820 --> 00:04:51,460

Now I just downloaded this font.



59

00:04:51,470 --> 00:04:57,900

But you might not have any font there so let's go ahead and download one and see what it looks like.



60

00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,770

The one I downloaded here is Pokemon.



61

00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,570

So the best place to download fonts.



62

00:05:02,570 --> 00:05:08,750

If you go online you can go to DAPH font dot com or da font dot com.



63

00:05:08,750 --> 00:05:11,600

Pretty sure it's done Fahed dot com.



64

00:05:11,620 --> 00:05:11,980

All right.



65

00:05:11,990 --> 00:05:14,690

And then we could go over here to any of these.



66

00:05:14,750 --> 00:05:22,190

For example over here we have cartoon font and you could see that this is the one I just downloaded



67

00:05:22,190 --> 00:05:26,890

here which says download for a year and it's the Pokemon font.



68

00:05:26,990 --> 00:05:28,810

So let's go ahead and download that one.



69

00:05:28,820 --> 00:05:30,190

Go ahead and download it.



70

00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:31,490

I already have.



71

00:05:31,970 --> 00:05:35,820

And let's download a second one as well.



72

00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:39,230

Let's go ahead and go with



73

00:05:42,770 --> 00:05:43,340

comic.



74

00:05:43,340 --> 00:05:46,350

I'm going to go to fun sized.



75

00:05:46,550 --> 00:05:48,910

So let's go ahead and download that one as well.



76

00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,380

Or you could just download one which is fine.



77

00:05:52,620 --> 00:05:55,600

Now clicking on your folder to unzip it.



78

00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:01,590

Let's go ahead and click extract to find your blender folder.



79

00:06:01,620 --> 00:06:03,270

We're Blendr is saved.



80

00:06:04,530 --> 00:06:05,460

Open it up.



81

00:06:05,490 --> 00:06:11,840

Go to data files fonts and click OK and save it in there.



82

00:06:11,850 --> 00:06:19,020

Now if you need it and zipper program you could get when rar which is a unzipping program or you could



83

00:06:19,020 --> 00:06:23,820

just check on Google unzipping program for free.



84

00:06:23,820 --> 00:06:30,070

All right let's go back to blunder once again clicking on this folder here.



85

00:06:31,510 --> 00:06:42,700

Let's go to our blender folder click data files fonts and let's go ahead and go with the Pokemon font



86

00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,250

that we just downloaded.



87

00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,240

So Pokemon solid open font.



88

00:06:48,250 --> 00:06:53,210

And now you could see that our text looks like a pokmon font.



89

00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,180

Pretty cool.



90

00:06:55,180 --> 00:06:59,370

All right let's go ahead and hit shift day text.



91

00:06:59,710 --> 00:07:05,000

And before we do that let's rename this to pokey mohn.



92

00:07:05,270 --> 00:07:10,200

I don't know if any of you were big Pokemon fans when you were a kid but I sure was.



93

00:07:10,220 --> 00:07:12,770

All right let's go ahead and hit shift day.



94

00:07:12,770 --> 00:07:17,690

You know char's art and and all those are the good old days.



95

00:07:17,690 --> 00:07:21,610

All right let's go ahead and add another text and this one.



96

00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,010

Let's go to the folder.



97

00:07:24,260 --> 00:07:32,850

Go back to our fonts and load in the font size font that we downloaded and you could see what that looks



98

00:07:32,850 --> 00:07:33,380

like.



99

00:07:33,390 --> 00:07:34,430

Pretty cool.



100

00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,530

So it looks very interesting to say the least.



101

00:07:37,530 --> 00:07:42,600

And then of course you can extrude it and have all kinds of different things.



102

00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:50,050

Now keep in mind if we had Z to go into wireframe and we extrude this you will see that this one will



103

00:07:50,050 --> 00:07:57,320

have a lot more vertices to it because of the complexity the complexity of how it looks.



104

00:07:58,850 --> 00:08:01,180

But that is pretty much it for text.



105

00:08:01,190 --> 00:08:03,590

And of course you could change this.



106

00:08:03,590 --> 00:08:04,930

And let's name it.



107

00:08:05,110 --> 00:08:05,840

Under



108

00:08:08,690 --> 00:08:10,670

So that looks pretty cool.



109

00:08:10,690 --> 00:08:15,750

If I do say so myself and again you could play around with the settings with it.



110

00:08:15,770 --> 00:08:23,930

Let's take a look at one last thing before we wrap it up with the text options for blender again.



111

00:08:24,050 --> 00:08:29,030

You can download any kind of font you want from dot dot com and loaded in here.



112

00:08:29,030 --> 00:08:31,490

And another thing that we can take a look at.



113

00:08:31,700 --> 00:08:34,610

Let's say we want to edit this and change it.



114

00:08:34,610 --> 00:08:36,590

Change the vertices and everything.



115

00:08:36,650 --> 00:08:41,900

If we had tab to edit we're only able to change what it says.



116

00:08:42,350 --> 00:08:46,310

How do we edit it as a mesh like we do with a cube.



117

00:08:46,550 --> 00:08:56,160

Well the way to do that is to convert this into a mesh so we're able to convert text into a mesh just



118

00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:08,430

by pressing all at c and then selecting Masche convert to mesh from curve metal surface or teks meta



119

00:09:08,430 --> 00:09:09,720

surface or text.



120

00:09:09,870 --> 00:09:16,930

So if we select this now we no longer have the text option because it's no longer a text object.



121

00:09:17,100 --> 00:09:20,890

But if we hit T ARV's if we had tabs scuse me.



122

00:09:21,190 --> 00:09:28,170

You can see that it is now a mesh and we could actually go in here and edit it just like a mesh.



123

00:09:28,170 --> 00:09:37,060

And if we want to we can hit control our control alt to select this and move it up and let me actually



124

00:09:37,060 --> 00:09:44,620

redo that if I boxlike some of these vertices hit Control to select all those we can bring it up and



125

00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:46,380

edit our text that way.



126

00:09:46,570 --> 00:09:52,630

However we can no longer edit what it says because when we had tab now it goes to editing the mash and



127

00:09:52,630 --> 00:09:55,170

no longer editing the text.



128

00:09:55,450 --> 00:09:59,020

So that is text and blender pretty awesome.



129

00:09:59,020 --> 00:10:05,240

And you could convert text into a mesh object and edit it and change it as you wish.



130

00:10:05,350 --> 00:10:12,330

Of course you can make your own text using a plane and just modeling it out and extruding it and everything.



131

00:10:12,430 --> 00:10:17,950

But this tends to be of quick simple easy way to add text for your scenes.



132

00:10:17,950 --> 00:10:19,600

All right that's time for Blender.



133

00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,440

Let's head on to the next tutorial.



134

00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,590

I'll see you there chump.



135

00:10:23,830 --> 00:10:24,250

All right.



136

00:10:24,250 --> 00:10:26,590

Here's one that short and sweet.



137

00:10:26,620 --> 00:10:30,150

Be willing to change for nothing remains the same.



138

00:10:30,220 --> 00:10:31,300

That is it.



139

00:10:31,300 --> 00:10:32,350

Have an amazing one.



140

00:10:32,350 --> 00:10:33,880

I'll see you in the next video.



141

00:10:33,970 --> 00:10:34,750

Oh wah.
