1 00:00:05,820 --> 00:00:09,240 Are right now we're going take a look at Virtex groups. 2 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:10,820 Dun don't don't. 3 00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:12,150 I Virtex groups. 4 00:00:12,150 --> 00:00:12,860 What are they. 5 00:00:12,860 --> 00:00:16,130 How do we use them and what do they do. 6 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:21,780 Well if we go over here to this little triangle which is the object data tab you can see that we had 7 00:00:21,780 --> 00:00:27,730 shape keys here which we used previously and just above that we have text groups. 8 00:00:27,790 --> 00:00:32,460 Now Virtex groups act kind of like what we did with the material. 9 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:39,300 If I go back to cycle's render and go back to our material tab you can see if I edit or sorry if I go 10 00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:48,150 to a hit tab to go into edit mode and then going to face select mode I can go ahead and add in new materials. 11 00:00:49,460 --> 00:00:58,160 And what I could do is assign different parts of my cube or different vertices and faces to the different 12 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,170 materials that are here now. 13 00:01:01,190 --> 00:01:07,820 Virtex group act in much the same way as right here we're assigning different parts of our cube to materials 14 00:01:09,110 --> 00:01:16,370 Virtex groups basically allow for you to assign different parts of your cube to different groups and 15 00:01:16,370 --> 00:01:23,630 these groups are then used in conjunction with modifiers or Clotho simulations or many many different 16 00:01:23,630 --> 00:01:27,250 things to that effect in different ways. 17 00:01:27,260 --> 00:01:32,840 So if we take a look at this and add in a new vertex group you can see that right here we have the name 18 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:38,570 of it which we can change by double clicking can name it to test. 19 00:01:38,570 --> 00:01:45,050 Over here we have the assign button which if you select whatever vertices you want on your mash and 20 00:01:45,050 --> 00:01:50,810 then click assign it will then assign it to this vertex group called test. 21 00:01:50,810 --> 00:01:53,750 Now how do you use this vertex group. 22 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,550 Well in many different fields like I said you could use it. 23 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:06,710 If we go over here to our modifiers tab and add let's say a mesh deform or a simple form or an armature 24 00:02:06,710 --> 00:02:12,600 modifier you can see that all these modifiers have the option vertex group right here. 25 00:02:13,410 --> 00:02:21,150 And if you assign this vertex group to these modifiers the basically the modifiers will only affect 26 00:02:21,270 --> 00:02:26,940 the vertices or the faces that are assigned to this vertex group. 27 00:02:27,030 --> 00:02:29,170 So vertex Roop in essential. 28 00:02:29,190 --> 00:02:39,580 Basically allow for you to then make only make a modifier or something else affect only that group which 29 00:02:39,580 --> 00:02:45,070 is super useful because you're using this like I said a lot in the future including the next tutorial 30 00:02:45,070 --> 00:02:50,830 where we're going to be taking a look at how to make an animated flag or a waving flag in the wind. 31 00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:53,710 We're going to be using Virtex groups to do so. 32 00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:01,740 Now over here we have remove as well which will remove these from the Virtex group if we go ahead and 33 00:03:01,740 --> 00:03:02,900 add these back. 34 00:03:02,910 --> 00:03:09,440 We could also if they're not selected we could then hit select and it will select whatever faces or 35 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,140 Verd vertices are in that group. 36 00:03:12,150 --> 00:03:17,740 We of course have de-select and then we have this option right here which is the weight. 37 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:23,340 Now the weight is basically the value that you give to this vertex group. 38 00:03:23,340 --> 00:03:31,290 So if I put a point five and then assign basically the vertex group is assigned to it at a 50 percent 39 00:03:31,380 --> 00:03:32,670 value. 40 00:03:32,670 --> 00:03:41,100 So if I then go to a modifier tab and use this for text group that modifier will only affect it 50 percent 41 00:03:41,130 --> 00:03:43,930 because the weight of it is only at 50 percent. 42 00:03:45,060 --> 00:03:51,690 Now we also have two different options here we could add more vertex groups or remove them and we have 43 00:03:51,690 --> 00:03:57,200 some options here to copy the vertex groups mirror them delete them etc.. 44 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:03,180 And so you could see we have quite a bit of options here but the main options you can use pretty simple 45 00:04:03,210 --> 00:04:08,530 is just a sign remove and adjusting the weight of it. 46 00:04:08,550 --> 00:04:10,340 All right so that vertex groups. 47 00:04:10,380 --> 00:04:11,550 Very very useful. 48 00:04:11,550 --> 00:04:16,470 You're going to be using them in a lot of upcoming projects that you do on your own and including the 49 00:04:16,470 --> 00:04:20,150 next Tauriel where we're going to take a look at making a flag. 50 00:04:20,250 --> 00:04:24,190 So let's jump on over there and I'll see you there Chuck. 51 00:04:24,770 --> 00:04:25,340 OK. 52 00:04:25,350 --> 00:04:28,570 On EVA there is little more French for you guys there. 53 00:04:28,830 --> 00:04:29,840 Hear me. 54 00:04:29,950 --> 00:04:32,820 And you could just plug your ears is fine you don't have to hear me. 55 00:04:33,030 --> 00:04:36,120 Hear me when I say to you your beliefs aren't true. 56 00:04:36,210 --> 00:04:38,210 They're just a version of the whole. 57 00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:41,180 But are the ones you hold on to having a toll. 58 00:04:41,340 --> 00:04:47,000 If so drop them now and be set free to the greater potential of who you were meant to be. 59 00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:51,510 Ladies and gentlemen see if once again your beliefs are serving you. 60 00:04:51,510 --> 00:04:52,230 Take care. 61 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:52,830 Alwa.
