00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:12,750

Now let's take a look at something called groups and how they are used and how they are useful.



2

00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:20,260

So groups unlike Virtex groups or like Virtex groups are actually used to basically grouped together



3

00:00:20,530 --> 00:00:21,640

different objects.



4

00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,380

Now this one is an object group that we're gonna take a look at.



5

00:00:25,630 --> 00:00:32,560

Whereas Virtex groups you can group together certain courtesies on your mesh into one group.



6

00:00:32,620 --> 00:00:38,740

This kind of group allows for you to group together different objects into one group.



7

00:00:38,770 --> 00:00:44,470

We see that here on the particle type if we go down where we were emitting an object and we had our



8

00:00:44,470 --> 00:00:49,120

sphere selected We also have another option called group.



9

00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:56,810

Now let's say you want to emit a circle and a sphere and a Taurus from here.



10

00:00:56,990 --> 00:01:03,580

While you couldn't do it with objects because this is only one single object but wherever you have a



11

00:01:03,580 --> 00:01:10,390

group tab you could be given the option to effect whatever it is you're doing.



12

00:01:10,390 --> 00:01:17,230

And obviously we have the group tab here under the particle tab but we also have it in different places



13

00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,710

around Blender's or wherever you see this group tab.



14

00:01:20,710 --> 00:01:25,810

It means you could add a group to it and make it affect the group.



15

00:01:26,150 --> 00:01:28,190

So let's take a look at adding a group.



16

00:01:28,270 --> 00:01:35,790

If I hit shift day and add a mesh U-V sphere and then hit shift day and add a Taurus.



17

00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:42,070

Let's go ahead and create these or put put these into a single group.



18

00:01:42,070 --> 00:01:48,300

Right now you can see that there are individual objects via the orange contour line around them.



19

00:01:48,310 --> 00:01:54,760

If I go to the object data tab which is this little cube right here and go down to groups you could



20

00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,130

see I have ADD group.



21

00:01:57,130 --> 00:02:05,100

Now we can click this to add it to a group or like we always do let's use a shortcut key for this.



22

00:02:05,180 --> 00:02:10,480

So shift right clicking the Torah says well I'm going to hit Control G.



23

00:02:10,750 --> 00:02:12,600

To put them into a group.



24

00:02:13,150 --> 00:02:15,340

What would we do without shortcut keys.



25

00:02:15,370 --> 00:02:17,710

I mean honestly it's making us lazier and lazier.



26

00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:18,330

But it's good.



27

00:02:18,340 --> 00:02:21,190

It makes the production work flow much faster.



28

00:02:21,190 --> 00:02:26,470

So right here you can see that we have a group and this is the group name we'll name it.



29

00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,800

Taurus and cube.



30

00:02:30,990 --> 00:02:36,080

And now we go to our particle settings or particle system cube here.



31

00:02:36,570 --> 00:02:42,160

Go to the settings click on group and select that group name Torossian cube.



32

00:02:42,420 --> 00:02:47,160

You can now see that it is emitting a bunch of Tauruses and cubes.



33

00:02:47,370 --> 00:02:49,550

So pretty awesome.



34

00:02:49,770 --> 00:02:51,660

And this is what groups allow for you to do.



35

00:02:51,660 --> 00:02:55,800

It allows for you to wherever you have a field for group.



36

00:02:55,830 --> 00:03:02,090

You could put that in and it will take into consideration the group of objects that you added.



37

00:03:02,100 --> 00:03:07,770

Now these objects are still separate objects but they are in the same group.



38

00:03:07,860 --> 00:03:17,250

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



39

00:03:17,340 --> 00:03:25,560

selected from active group Taurus and cube and it will become a single object once again.



40

00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,180

So you can add as many objects as you want to group.



41

00:03:29,190 --> 00:03:35,820

If we were to add 50 different objects to this group then it would then emit 50 different objects from



42

00:03:35,820 --> 00:03:36,990

here.



43

00:03:36,990 --> 00:03:42,840

Pretty cool groups are very useful and you're going to be using them a lot as well as with everything



44

00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:43,720

else here.



45

00:03:43,740 --> 00:03:45,410

So it's all coming together.



46

00:03:45,450 --> 00:03:48,030

And let's take a look at our next tutorial.



47

00:03:48,030 --> 00:03:51,060

I'll see you there and I'll see you there.



48

00:03:51,180 --> 00:03:55,550

Just trying to think of something witty to say to close off my tutorial.



49

00:03:55,770 --> 00:03:56,950

Oh boy.



50

00:03:57,900 --> 00:04:00,970

All right this one is an action quote.



51

00:04:01,380 --> 00:04:04,300

So there is an assignment after getting.



52

00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,220

Look in the mirror today.



53

00:04:06,420 --> 00:04:07,440

I believe in you.



54

00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:13,290

You should say for how you see yourself to be is how you look to both them and me.



55

00:04:13,470 --> 00:04:17,140

So with your words lift yourself high and never doubt yourself.



56

00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,990

Don't ask why.



57

00:04:18,990 --> 00:04:21,340

Ladies and gentlemen believe in yourself.



58

00:04:21,420 --> 00:04:24,120

I believe in you even though I can't see you.



59

00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,560

Trust me I do.



60

00:04:25,740 --> 00:04:26,180

All right.



61

00:04:26,230 --> 00:04:27,790

Ciao of avoir.
