00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,800

Let's take a look at a really cool feature on Blendr and that is animating values.



2

00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:16,370

So believe it or not you could actually animate any value within a blender.



3

00:00:16,380 --> 00:00:19,430

Now let me show you what that means exactly.



4

00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:27,450

If we go over here and go to our particle Settings tab add a new particle and leave it on emitter.



5

00:00:27,750 --> 00:00:30,480

Let's say I day to play.



6

00:00:30,670 --> 00:00:36,560

Now we can see the particles have a certain action or thing that they're doing are going to increase



7

00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,430

the lifetime of them as well.



8

00:00:39,460 --> 00:00:45,490

And now let's say that I want them to go down and then slow down to like a slow motion and then speed



9

00:00:45,490 --> 00:00:46,400

back up.



10

00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:54,940

Well the way I can do that is going over here and going to the dam factor under the physics if I go



11

00:00:54,940 --> 00:00:57,540

to say let's frame let's say frame 40.



12

00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,150

And what the damn factor with my mouse hovered over it.



13

00:01:01,150 --> 00:01:02,810

I hit the Ickey.



14

00:01:03,010 --> 00:01:09,770

You can see it actually enters in a keyframe right there for the dent factor at volume zero.



15

00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,040

And you can see we have a frame here.



16

00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:21,060

Now if I go to frame 41 I could increase this damn factor all the way to 1 and hit I to answer a keyframe.



17

00:01:21,070 --> 00:01:22,980

Now let's see what that does.



18

00:01:23,110 --> 00:01:25,330

Hitting all state of play.



19

00:01:25,330 --> 00:01:32,020

You can see that it basically goes fast and then right here you can see that the value jumps to one



20

00:01:32,530 --> 00:01:35,450

and does that pretty cool.



21

00:01:35,450 --> 00:01:42,490

Now let's go to frame 70 hit I over this answer a keyframe there as well.



22

00:01:42,490 --> 00:01:48,930

And now let's make it go more gradually back to going faster.



23

00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,300

If we wanted to make it jump back to going faster we would go to the next frame.



24

00:01:53,350 --> 00:01:59,190

But here let's make it take 10 frames go to zero and hit I.



25

00:01:59,530 --> 00:02:01,700

So let's see what we have here.



26

00:02:02,790 --> 00:02:08,020

So it goes it goes very slow and then it gradually goes faster once again.



27

00:02:08,430 --> 00:02:09,090

Pretty cool.



28

00:02:09,090 --> 00:02:13,410

So this is just one factor or one value that you could animate.



29

00:02:13,410 --> 00:02:18,880

You can animate pretty much any of these by just hovering over them and hitting the eye.



30

00:02:18,910 --> 00:02:27,390

Q Let me stop all day just by hitting the Ickey and it will insert keyframes on pretty much any value



31

00:02:27,420 --> 00:02:28,680

that you want.



32

00:02:28,830 --> 00:02:30,420

Pretty cool.



33

00:02:30,420 --> 00:02:36,390

Now of course these don't work as you just saw but most of the values you can add keyframes to them.



34

00:02:36,420 --> 00:02:36,720

All right.



35

00:02:36,750 --> 00:02:39,140

Let's take a look at another quick example.



36

00:02:39,300 --> 00:02:41,000

Going to the materials tab.



37

00:02:41,190 --> 00:02:45,840

Let's go to cycle's render and click on use notes.



38

00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:53,580

Believe it or not you can actually animate the the colors of cubes as well because these are just values



39

00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:54,500

though.



40

00:02:54,540 --> 00:02:59,700

If I go to frame one and going under viewport color so we could see it in the viewport.



41

00:02:59,860 --> 00:03:06,960

I excuse me I couldn't hit I with my mouse hovered over it and cert's a keyframe and then I'd go to



42

00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:16,190

say frame 10 and change us to a blue color and then hit the Ickey once more and you could see that it



43

00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,470

now animates the color of the cube.



44

00:03:19,470 --> 00:03:20,470

Pretty cool.



45

00:03:20,550 --> 00:03:22,260

I could go to from 30.



46

00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,870

Change it to read and hit I to answer a key from there.



47

00:03:27,090 --> 00:03:29,170

And now we have that.



48

00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:29,720

All right.



49

00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,650

That is pretty awesome.



50

00:03:31,650 --> 00:03:37,210

Now of course to actually render it you would do it here on this color because this is just the viewport



51

00:03:37,220 --> 00:03:40,410

color the render color would be right here.



52

00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,430

Let's take a look at one more example.



53

00:03:43,460 --> 00:03:52,520

And also if you had this say on glossy or another color you could actually increase or decrease the



54

00:03:52,580 --> 00:03:55,690

glossy ness or the shining ness of your object.



55

00:03:55,850 --> 00:04:01,220

Let's say you have a mirror and for some reason your animation you want it to be very shiny and then



56

00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:07,030

you want it to turn very not shiny.



57

00:04:07,130 --> 00:04:10,130

If that's correct vocabulary very not shiny.



58

00:04:10,220 --> 00:04:16,370

And so you could animate the roughness value of how shiny or not shiny your object is.



59

00:04:16,370 --> 00:04:19,420

Let's take a look at one last example quickly.



60

00:04:19,430 --> 00:04:20,690

If we had shift day.



61

00:04:21,170 --> 00:04:30,490

Add in a lamp let's add in a sun lamp hitting G and Z.



62

00:04:30,530 --> 00:04:36,860

Let's go into rendered mode and we actually hit Need to hit shift day.



63

00:04:37,100 --> 00:04:39,000

Add mesh plane.



64

00:04:39,110 --> 00:04:43,190

Scale it up and grabbing our sun lamp.



65

00:04:43,190 --> 00:04:52,160

I'm actually going to change it to a point light and ringing it I'm going to bring it down next to my



66

00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:52,980

plane.



67

00:04:54,300 --> 00:05:02,550

Going back to rendered view let's increase the strength of this and now we're going to animate it.



68

00:05:02,550 --> 00:05:07,050

So going to frame 1 we get hit.



69

00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:12,900

I over the strength of this lamp and then go into frame 20.



70

00:05:13,250 --> 00:05:16,990

We can bring this value all the way to zero and hit.



71

00:05:17,030 --> 00:05:19,830

I answer a keyframe.



72

00:05:20,090 --> 00:05:28,000

Now if we play this you can see that the light starts very bright and it diminishes.



73

00:05:28,070 --> 00:05:33,680

So pretty cool you could use that for example if you have a street scene with some street lights and



74

00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,600

the light is kind of flickering out or it's going to flicker out.



75

00:05:38,630 --> 00:05:42,900

You could actually animate this value.



76

00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:48,060

Scuse me you can actually animate this value up and down so it looks like it's flickering you know it's



77

00:05:48,060 --> 00:05:50,790

flickering in and out of on and off.



78

00:05:50,910 --> 00:05:52,890

So you would just animate it that way.



79

00:05:53,070 --> 00:05:58,050

And of course you can animate the color of it and the size etc..



80

00:05:58,380 --> 00:06:00,040

So pretty pretty cool.



81

00:06:00,060 --> 00:06:04,470

And that is basically animating values in blender.



82

00:06:04,470 --> 00:06:11,340

It is really awesome so keep that in mind as you go along and have some fun with it because now pretty



83

00:06:11,340 --> 00:06:16,170

much anything is animated will and no holding you back now.



84

00:06:16,290 --> 00:06:16,910

All right.



85

00:06:17,130 --> 00:06:21,520

I'll see you in the next tutorial by.



86

00:06:21,570 --> 00:06:21,990

All right.



87

00:06:21,990 --> 00:06:23,600

So everybody's here.



88

00:06:23,610 --> 00:06:24,900

I take it.



89

00:06:24,900 --> 00:06:30,680

Let me do roll call first make sure everyone's here for the quote of the video.



90

00:06:31,230 --> 00:06:32,290

All right.



91

00:06:32,340 --> 00:06:36,780

Do you believe in magic do you believe in magic.



92

00:06:36,930 --> 00:06:39,410

A world without it would be tragic.



93

00:06:39,420 --> 00:06:42,810

It's not some made up stuff or some hyped up fluff.



94

00:06:42,810 --> 00:06:47,460

Just look around and you'll see it's all around you and me.



95

00:06:47,460 --> 00:06:49,190

Seriously ladies and gentlemen.



96

00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,310

Take a look around.



97

00:06:50,430 --> 00:06:52,060

It's pretty amazing.



98

00:06:52,260 --> 00:06:52,680

All right.



99

00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:53,880

Ciao for now.



100

00:06:54,030 --> 00:06:54,690

Oh vois.
