Now let's take a look at something called groups and how they are used and how they are useful.
So groups unlike Virtex groups or like Virtex groups are actually used to basically grouped together
different objects.
Now this one is an object group that we're gonna take a look at.
Whereas Virtex groups you can group together certain courtesies on your mesh into one group.
This kind of group allows for you to group together different objects into one group.
We see that here on the particle type if we go down where we were emitting an object and we had our
sphere selected We also have another option called group.
Now let's say you want to emit a circle and a sphere and a Taurus from here.
While you couldn't do it with objects because this is only one single object but wherever you have a
group tab you could be given the option to effect whatever it is you're doing.
And obviously we have the group tab here under the particle tab but we also have it in different places
around Blender's or wherever you see this group tab.
It means you could add a group to it and make it affect the group.
So let's take a look at adding a group.
If I hit shift day and add a mesh U-V sphere and then hit shift day and add a Taurus.
Let's go ahead and create these or put put these into a single group.
Right now you can see that there are individual objects via the orange contour line around them.
If I go to the object data tab which is this little cube right here and go down to groups you could
see I have ADD group.
Now we can click this to add it to a group or like we always do let's use a shortcut key for this.
So shift right clicking the Torah says well I'm going to hit Control G.
To put them into a group.
What would we do without shortcut keys.
I mean honestly it's making us lazier and lazier.
But it's good.
It makes the production work flow much faster.
So right here you can see that we have a group and this is the group name we'll name it.
Taurus and cube.
And now we go to our particle settings or particle system cube here.
Go to the settings click on group and select that group name Torossian cube.
You can now see that it is emitting a bunch of Tauruses and cubes.
So pretty awesome.
And this is what groups allow for you to do.
It allows for you to wherever you have a field for group.
You could put that in and it will take into consideration the group of objects that you added.
Now these objects are still separate objects but they are in the same group.
And to take an object out of a group all you do is select it hit shift alt and G and it will say remove
selected from active group Taurus and cube and it will become a single object once again.
So you can add as many objects as you want to group.
If we were to add 50 different objects to this group then it would then emit 50 different objects from
here.
Pretty cool groups are very useful and you're going to be using them a lot as well as with everything
else here.
So it's all coming together.
And let's take a look at our next tutorial.
I'll see you there and I'll see you there.
Just trying to think of something witty to say to close off my tutorial.
Oh boy.
All right this one is an action quote.
So there is an assignment after getting.
Look in the mirror today.
I believe in you.
You should say for how you see yourself to be is how you look to both them and me.
So with your words lift yourself high and never doubt yourself.
Don't ask why.
Ladies and gentlemen believe in yourself.
I believe in you even though I can't see you.
Trust me I do.
All right.
Ciao of avoir.
