1

00:00:05,930 --> 00:00:11,580

All right let's go ahead and continue with this animation that we got going here and what we're going



2

00:00:11,580 --> 00:00:21,020

to do now is actually create the floor so that we're able to crack it when he throws in the signposts



3

00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:22,240

into the floor.



4

00:00:22,260 --> 00:00:25,290

I want it to crack over here.



5

00:00:25,290 --> 00:00:28,160

Now how do we make it crack.



6

00:00:28,170 --> 00:00:34,570

Well we're going to be using a lattice modifier and it's pretty sweet how we're going to do it.



7

00:00:34,650 --> 00:00:37,370

So let's do it right away.



8

00:00:37,390 --> 00:00:45,200

Hitting tab to go into it mode when you hit Control are an add in tulip cuts here.



9

00:00:46,610 --> 00:00:50,060

As wide scale on the y axis.



10

00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:59,240

Let's actually go to frame whatever frame he's on where he throws the signpost into the floor and making



11

00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:09,950

sure that these are right there on the signpost and that they are wide enough to hold it or that they



12

00:01:09,950 --> 00:01:16,350

are just going outside of the size of the sign post.



13

00:01:16,430 --> 00:01:19,760

Now he didn't control our twice again.



14

00:01:20,770 --> 00:01:25,210

Are there aspects to scale on the x axis.



15

00:01:25,230 --> 00:01:27,700

I always feel weird saying I say it's all right.



16

00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,030

Scale is on the x axis is what I mean.



17

00:01:31,110 --> 00:01:34,730

Too like that.



18

00:01:34,730 --> 00:01:38,340

And then what we can do is we can even



19

00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:47,980

see to bring it out over here like this.



20

00:01:48,050 --> 00:01:51,130

I'm actually going to put this on the opposite side.



21

00:01:52,570 --> 00:02:06,730

Then hit Control are twice once again as X and then G next and bring it right next to the other one.



22

00:02:06,740 --> 00:02:07,220

All right.



23

00:02:07,220 --> 00:02:14,630

So that's the centerpoint of the domination for the destruction of the floor.



24

00:02:14,630 --> 00:02:19,430

Now what we want to do is hit Control are adding a couple of cuts here.



25

00:02:20,670 --> 00:02:29,210

Right click to confirm I'm just adding in a random amount not being exactly precise on each side.



26

00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,260

And now we're going into top view.



27

00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:39,530

Let's go ahead and select these right here.



28

00:02:41,950 --> 00:02:43,560

Just these two.



29

00:02:43,690 --> 00:02:44,490

There we go.



30

00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:47,200

These two are separate Fisher Fisher lines.



31

00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:56,620

I believe they're called and we're just going to bring them out so that it looks like they are cracking



32

00:02:58,550 --> 00:02:59,780

the floor.



33

00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,480

And just bring them out like so however you want your cracks to look like.



34

00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:11,240

Same thing with over here.



35

00:03:16,110 --> 00:03:25,950

And of course the skin can be exaggerated crack as as it is with all my animations.



36

00:03:25,950 --> 00:03:30,060

I'm going to move this out so that's not on top of the mushroom.



37

00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:32,910

I kind of wanted to go around him that looks pretty cool.



38

00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,050

I don't know if I'm going to make a crack all the way out to the edge of the scene.



39

00:03:42,050 --> 00:03:49,940

That's seems like quite a big crack for such a tiny sign post warning flag.



40

00:03:50,550 --> 00:03:52,630

All right.



41

00:03:52,670 --> 00:03:54,800

So Zig-Zag these babies



42

00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,040

were almost there.



43

00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:04,730

This is another one of those tedious things that went back.



44

00:04:04,930 --> 00:04:07,100

But we're almost done.



45

00:04:07,170 --> 00:04:11,410

So stay with me for two more seconds.



46

00:04:14,310 --> 00:04:16,390

All right.



47

00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,670

Bring these out as well.



48

00:04:21,990 --> 00:04:23,350

Almost there.



49

00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,070

Just grabbed those two last.



50

00:04:27,070 --> 00:04:29,080

All right so that's cool.



51

00:04:30,110 --> 00:04:32,140

Oh see



52

00:04:35,700 --> 00:04:36,800

how cool.



53

00:04:36,830 --> 00:04:42,860

So I'm going to have an exaggerated crack on here because this is a pretty big crack for such a small



54

00:04:42,860 --> 00:04:43,880

signpost.



55

00:04:44,180 --> 00:04:48,320

But you know what it's all about exaggeration for me over here.



56

00:04:48,470 --> 00:04:50,700

When you hit Control are you going out in a loop.



57

00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:58,980

Cuts in between all of these what's happened there.



58

00:04:58,980 --> 00:04:59,600

There we go.



59

00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:08,330

So now if we all out right click the middle look cut if we had G and Z you could see what the crack



60

00:05:08,330 --> 00:05:12,950

is going to look like it's going to look something like that except it's not going to go all the way



61

00:05:12,950 --> 00:05:15,800

out to the edges of course.



62

00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,350

Now how do we animate this crack.



63

00:05:19,610 --> 00:05:24,410

Well we're going to be using a lattice modifier once again the trusty lattices and is going to show



64

00:05:24,410 --> 00:05:30,530

you a different way that you can use lattices instead of just using it for squishy characters and balls



65

00:05:30,530 --> 00:05:31,670

and beach balls.



66

00:05:31,730 --> 00:05:37,220

We could actually use lattices for something that you wouldn't think would be used for such as a stone



67

00:05:37,220 --> 00:05:38,600

floor.



68

00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:43,340

Now the way we're going to do it is that the lattice can grab the vertices and bring them down.



69

00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,960

But here we have a problem of not being well.



70

00:05:45,980 --> 00:05:46,930

Again not a problem.



71

00:05:46,940 --> 00:05:52,790

But that being that it's going to take the vertices and bring him down except right here I wanted to



72

00:05:52,940 --> 00:05:53,990

animate it.



73

00:05:54,260 --> 00:05:56,850

And because there's so little vertices in between.



74

00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:03,110

It's basically going to animate it like this and it's jumping way too far so it's going to crack like



75

00:06:03,230 --> 00:06:13,850

boom boom boom like way too way too sharp of a crack because it's going to do this this and then whatnot.



76

00:06:13,860 --> 00:06:21,140

So to soften it out we're going to add a bunch of lube cuts here so that it has a nice smooth transition



77

00:06:21,450 --> 00:06:28,210

and not so sharp like that hitting control are going out a bunch of loose cuts here.



78

00:06:28,210 --> 00:06:31,730

Don't ask me how many because I have no idea.



79

00:06:31,750 --> 00:06:34,750

So now when we animate it's going to look more like this.



80

00:06:35,470 --> 00:06:39,150

And it's going to have a smoother transition.



81

00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:44,950

Now obviously we're not going to animate all those by hand but you'll see exactly what I mean.



82

00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:49,770

So now we're going to tell you I'm just going to add in a bunch of loop cuts everywhere.



83

00:06:50,850 --> 00:06:57,760

Or control our mouse wheel up left click right click again don't ask me how many I'm adding.



84

00:06:58,380 --> 00:06:59,760

I couldn't tell you.



85

00:07:00,060 --> 00:07:03,630

I'm just scrolling up to a good feel.



86

00:07:03,630 --> 00:07:11,180

They say I have a good mouse fingers so should be some decent amount of cuts here.



87

00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:12,650

All right.



88

00:07:12,670 --> 00:07:17,360

And then in the other direction to see how fast we can do this.



89

00:07:18,780 --> 00:07:22,970

Boom boom there's a little bit less there but it doesn't matter.



90

00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:30,300

All right.



91

00:07:30,310 --> 00:07:31,470

All right.



92

00:07:31,780 --> 00:07:33,080

Well making progress.



93

00:07:33,660 --> 00:07:38,030

All those there we got it.



94

00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,700

All right cool.



95

00:07:39,730 --> 00:07:44,840

And we don't need to loop cuts here because that's not going to do anything.



96

00:07:44,850 --> 00:07:46,420

Now selecting.



97

00:07:46,500 --> 00:07:55,170

All right clicking these loop cuts in the middle of our fingers for our crack.



98

00:07:55,470 --> 00:07:59,460

Let's go to the Virtex have an adding a Virtex group.



99

00:07:59,580 --> 00:08:06,870

We're going to name it rack and assign it not that kind of crack.



100

00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:07,870

All right.



101

00:08:08,190 --> 00:08:18,150

Let's assign it to weight of one and out hitting well I'm going to do is selecting this middle vertex



102

00:08:18,150 --> 00:08:18,910

on art.



103

00:08:19,060 --> 00:08:27,760

Where are impactors shift desk cursor to selected and I'm going to add shift day add a lattice hitting



104

00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:28,670

G and Z.



105

00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:36,320

Bring it right under the floor and let's make the W zeros just a flat plane.



106

00:08:38,170 --> 00:08:41,990

We're going to scale it way up with the ASCII



107

00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:53,700

and then turn the is the U and the V to something like 40 ohm already.



108

00:08:55,390 --> 00:08:57,290

And now selecting the plane.



109

00:08:57,460 --> 00:09:01,400

Let's go ahead and go to my modifiers tab out a modifier.



110

00:09:01,510 --> 00:09:06,850

Oh that is good find a word you go there it is.



111

00:09:07,070 --> 00:09:11,440

Object lattice vertex group.



112

00:09:12,490 --> 00:09:15,070

Let's go ahead a name or latus as well.



113

00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:17,760

Gurlitz name it.



114

00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,900

It's already named latus.



115

00:09:22,010 --> 00:09:27,660

So on a name it crack or I cool.



116

00:09:27,670 --> 00:09:32,780

Now we hit tab to go into any motor the latticed we can see we have a lot of different points here just



117

00:09:32,780 --> 00:09:34,650

like we did with the ball or the mushroom.



118

00:09:34,650 --> 00:09:43,280

But many many more if we select the the the points on glass you can see that when we bring it down you



119

00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:44,380

can see what's happening.



120

00:09:44,390 --> 00:09:47,990

Every point is assigned a different part of the crack.



121

00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:53,060

Virtex pretty freakin cool.



122

00:09:53,110 --> 00:09:55,090

So let's light one of these two right here.



123

00:09:55,100 --> 00:10:03,550

That's in the center of our crack I mean it's like this one and that going to the lattice modifier we're



124

00:10:03,550 --> 00:10:05,480

going to add in a shape key.



125

00:10:05,500 --> 00:10:11,260

But first we need to go into object mode out of shape key out a second one.



126

00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:16,060

Bring the value all the way to 1 and hitting tab to go into edit mode.



127

00:10:16,060 --> 00:10:18,700

Let's turn on proportional editing.



128

00:10:20,020 --> 00:10:29,040

And now if we hit G and Z bring it down and scroll up you can see what's happening.



129

00:10:29,130 --> 00:10:31,450

Pretty sweet.



130

00:10:32,340 --> 00:10:36,480

So look at that and you can see that lattice how it's moving.



131

00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:45,600

It's basically because of the proportional fall off it takes a center first and then kind of transitions



132

00:10:45,690 --> 00:10:55,800

out more further out the more you scroll it up let's it G and Z and just bring this to however big you



133

00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:56,580

want your crack.



134

00:10:56,580 --> 00:11:01,680

I would not suggest to bring it all the way out because otherwise your crack is going all the way to



135

00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:07,950

the edge of the plane so I would leave it to somewhere like there is.



136

00:11:09,700 --> 00:11:11,430

Kind of want to exaggerate a little bit.



137

00:11:11,470 --> 00:11:16,380

I want to like that so to click for that tab to go into object mode.



138

00:11:16,390 --> 00:11:28,540

And now you can see that if I move this value we got our rack going and it's basically fracturing the



139

00:11:28,540 --> 00:11:29,140

floor.



140

00:11:29,260 --> 00:11:40,240

So we're going to animate this value when the character strikes his signpost into the floor so this



141

00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:47,930

value is basically going to animate and it looks like it's actually cracking the floor.



142

00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,810

So pretty cool.



143

00:11:49,810 --> 00:11:51,880

If I do say so myself.



144

00:11:51,910 --> 00:11:52,420

All right.



145

00:11:52,450 --> 00:11:54,430

So that's this part of the tutorial.



146

00:11:54,430 --> 00:11:55,930

I'll see you in the next one.



147

00:11:55,930 --> 00:11:56,740

Very well done.



148

00:11:56,740 --> 00:12:00,400

We just made it so that we can crack our floor.



149

00:12:00,460 --> 00:12:09,510

In fact before we head on to the next Tauriel Let's go ahead and make this animated So let's see right



150

00:12:09,510 --> 00:12:13,190

when he hits the floor which is right here.



151

00:12:13,770 --> 00:12:16,000

Right around there.



152

00:12:16,050 --> 00:12:21,870

So just before let's select this and hit I for the value of 0.



153

00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:29,900

And then on the next frame let's put that value to.



154

00:12:30,410 --> 00:12:35,780

Let's put it to 0 and we've got automatic keyframe insertion as well so whenever we move a value it's



155

00:12:35,780 --> 00:12:37,360

going to automatically insert it.



156

00:12:37,550 --> 00:12:48,390

So keep that in mind as well and you can see that the lattice modifier actually has keyframe in it because



157

00:12:48,390 --> 00:12:50,020

I completely forgot to take that off.



158

00:12:50,020 --> 00:12:53,220

So this is a lesson for me and for you.



159

00:12:53,340 --> 00:13:08,320

Let's make sure to hit all eye on these to remove the keyframes.



160

00:13:08,550 --> 00:13:17,760

And what I'm going to do with this is actually go to the graph editor select the lattice go to f curves



161

00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:29,190

and just select all these x and delete the keyframes from the loudest modifier.



162

00:13:29,430 --> 00:13:31,460

Oh my bad.



163

00:13:31,460 --> 00:13:32,900

Go back to the dope sheet.



164

00:13:34,660 --> 00:13:36,640

And I don't believe we moved anything else.



165

00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,660

No we just move the lattice modifier for the lattice object.



166

00:13:40,670 --> 00:13:42,310

Sorry.



167

00:13:42,340 --> 00:13:43,310

So that's a lesson.



168

00:13:43,310 --> 00:13:49,170

Make sure that Mike Freeman's version is not on when you're moving objects around.



169

00:13:49,190 --> 00:14:00,640

All right so now back to this going to frame that frame I'm going to bring this to this value.



170

00:14:02,460 --> 00:14:12,200

And I turned her locate the the keyframe and then go to where his flag is completely slanted in there.



171

00:14:12,570 --> 00:14:22,730

And I'm actually just going to leave it like that because when he hammers it in is when the the cracks



172

00:14:22,730 --> 00:14:26,050

are going to go further and deeper and.



173

00:14:26,260 --> 00:14:26,900

All right.



174

00:14:26,910 --> 00:14:27,930

So cool.



175

00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:34,390

I'm going to also go to the frame right before that and set the value to zero of course.



176

00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:39,620

I and there we go you could see what happens.



177

00:14:39,650 --> 00:14:42,630

So he just stuck incident.



178

00:14:42,650 --> 00:14:44,240

Pretty awesome.



179

00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:50,090

So there is a couple of lessons in there that's how you use the lightest modifier for using cracks and



180

00:14:50,150 --> 00:14:56,060

also making sure that you're automatically Freman assertion is off before you move anything otherwise



181

00:14:56,570 --> 00:14:59,980

you're going to create some things that you do not want.



182

00:14:59,990 --> 00:15:00,540

All right.



183

00:15:00,570 --> 00:15:01,570

See in the next Tauriel.



184

00:15:01,580 --> 00:15:02,330

Very well done.
