WEBVTT 00:00.270 --> 00:07.170 High in this video we're going to make this kind of effect where it's kind of 3D in gradient happening 00:07.170 --> 00:12.480 it's very rich SRODES very in I don't really know what to call it and we'll do a couple of things we'll 00:12.480 --> 00:17.850 look at some more advanced uses and we'll add a kind of a cool grain to it as well to kind of grunge 00:17.850 --> 00:18.660 it up. 00:18.660 --> 00:18.930 All right. 00:18.960 --> 00:20.280 Let's go and do that now. 00:20.310 --> 00:21.810 In a Toby illustrator. 00:21.930 --> 00:22.400 All right. 00:22.440 --> 00:23.760 Let's get started. 00:23.910 --> 00:26.610 I've opened up blending two from the exercise files. 00:26.610 --> 00:29.820 You really don't need to open it because just a great background. 00:29.970 --> 00:33.610 And I have added some gradients which you might want to do regardless. 00:33.660 --> 00:38.040 Let's stop we need to kind of things we need our gradient kind of line. 00:38.190 --> 00:40.460 And then the shape that it's going to follow. 00:40.500 --> 00:41.370 So it is truly a gradient. 00:41.370 --> 00:46.940 First I'm going to draw an ellipse and fill it with one of the gradients that I've gotten here. 00:47.090 --> 00:48.720 K has got no stroke. 00:48.720 --> 00:50.320 It looks that way with a stroke. 00:50.350 --> 00:53.400 So Phil any kind of gradient doesn't have to be this one. 00:53.460 --> 00:56.050 I'm going to make a duplicate of it and then I want to blend it. 00:56.070 --> 00:57.810 And we've been using different tools in this course. 00:57.810 --> 01:02.370 Let's go for short cut time command option B on my keyboard. 01:02.640 --> 01:09.250 Or if you on a PC is control alt B be that'll do the blending just automatically. 01:09.420 --> 01:09.760 OK. 01:09.780 --> 01:12.900 Double click the blending to and switch out the steps. 01:12.900 --> 01:18.710 Now don't worry too much have at how many steps you do here and go high enough to go to 80. 01:18.880 --> 01:21.360 So you know that looks quite nice. 01:21.360 --> 01:26.700 You can start to see the banding it's ok don't worry too much about it at this stage because when we 01:26.700 --> 01:30.460 attach the line we're going to have to adjust it quite a bit afterwards so don't worry too much about 01:30.460 --> 01:32.370 it and I want a couple of copies. 01:32.400 --> 01:35.920 I'm going to have a little copy of the media kapok piece. 01:36.130 --> 01:36.640 All right. 01:36.660 --> 01:38.390 Now we need the shape for it to follow. 01:38.400 --> 01:44.190 I'm going to use my pins to KS underneath the shaper tool and double click my pins to cranked up the 01:44.190 --> 01:45.390 smoothing and turned off. 01:45.390 --> 01:47.550 Keep selected and click ok. 01:47.550 --> 01:49.470 Just helps with the flow of it. 01:49.470 --> 01:58.520 You could use a curvature to the pintu anything you like to K and I'm going to draw a squiggle k. 01:58.640 --> 02:03.830 I had no stroke on case I'm going to get a stroke so you can see my amazing this and now I'm going to 02:03.830 --> 02:04.790 get this to follow. 02:04.790 --> 02:13.490 I said this like both of them and get an object go to blend and it's go to replace the spine and it's 02:13.500 --> 02:15.130 kind of like that right. 02:15.350 --> 02:17.980 And all we need to do is increase the steps. 02:18.000 --> 02:24.980 Case I don't like the blend 2 and we're going to go quite high and we have to play around with how much 02:24.980 --> 02:26.360 you want or don't want. 02:26.360 --> 02:27.690 Of these little dots. 02:27.760 --> 02:30.470 K if you want it to be super smooth you have to go quite high. 02:30.470 --> 02:35.600 The only trouble with that though is that you do run into potentially stressing your whole machine out 02:36.110 --> 02:41.480 and how high can I go before my machine dies thousand turns up. 02:41.640 --> 02:42.530 It's like a game. 02:42.710 --> 02:44.740 So you probably maybe in my. 02:44.790 --> 02:46.650 I drew quite a long line. 02:46.670 --> 02:50.410 What you might do is draw a line so those thousands it work fine. 02:50.450 --> 02:56.480 All right I've practiced loads on this one and taught it loads and it always comes out better than that. 02:56.520 --> 03:00.520 I feel like we failed there and you can also do hand drawing type. 03:00.530 --> 03:04.220 OK so let's quickly do that and we'll look at some of the extra options like you saw at the beginning. 03:04.220 --> 03:07.550 So pins with two stroke no pink white. 03:07.700 --> 03:10.470 And it doesn't have to be one continuous line only. 03:10.610 --> 03:11.990 I wish I had my way home with me today. 03:11.990 --> 03:16.670 I'm stuck in this snow day today so that's why the order sounds a little different. 03:16.700 --> 03:22.790 I'm stuck inside an hour or second my home office CO. 03:22.810 --> 03:26.620 That's as good as it's going to get with the mouse. 03:26.620 --> 03:31.150 All right so there is one two three four different ones. 03:31.150 --> 03:34.850 So for this to work we need four of these in total K. 03:34.870 --> 03:38.190 Can you fill those and I'm going to go. 03:38.300 --> 03:40.910 I'll keep a backup for as a backup. 03:40.920 --> 03:44.720 Am I going to pick a different gradients. 03:44.990 --> 03:46.080 K now. 03:46.110 --> 03:50.050 At the moment it's really hard to adjust because they're kind of stuck in a blend. 03:50.070 --> 03:53.270 What you can do is you can double click these guys to go inside. 03:53.320 --> 03:57.300 OK I'm inside this plane and I going to pick the first and last guy. 03:57.300 --> 03:58.570 You don't have to have the same things. 03:58.590 --> 04:00.380 OK they can change over time. 04:00.390 --> 04:01.170 Let's see what that looks like. 04:01.180 --> 04:04.150 I'm so we'll change this first one too. 04:04.170 --> 04:06.210 It's kind of bluey green. 04:06.600 --> 04:09.810 We'll see what these changes do to come out. 04:09.810 --> 04:14.550 Double click that area a few times and now I don't want you guys on this new fella. 04:14.680 --> 04:21.090 So a duplicate one use actual cats Kamandi will control the PC to duplicate it. 04:21.810 --> 04:25.090 OK now you didn't really matter where they are. 04:25.260 --> 04:26.610 OK and you. 04:27.300 --> 04:32.960 Let's blame the object Blinn replace spline quha. 04:33.160 --> 04:37.490 Now also what you might do is this guy here is a bit big maybe. 04:37.560 --> 04:38.060 K. 04:38.260 --> 04:43.120 And so you can change it now and he can never know it's kind of like a line white. 04:43.120 --> 04:44.570 Or are you a strict white. 04:44.650 --> 04:47.220 So let's go again. 04:47.500 --> 04:52.450 I was going to have to do is with this guy selected and let's go to. 04:52.450 --> 04:55.330 Don't like the blending to an unspecified steps. 04:55.420 --> 04:57.380 You can get a specified distance and go. 04:57.380 --> 04:59.350 Actually I want this to be like just one point away. 04:59.380 --> 05:03.970 Click preview and freak it out a little bit and it will just kind of keep them one point away rather 05:03.970 --> 05:09.790 than a mound of steps but do make sure you expand this at the end because it's an active effect and 05:09.820 --> 05:11.600 constrictive getting out already. 05:11.650 --> 05:13.030 My fans already come on. 05:13.030 --> 05:18.580 So a few things that we can do to make this why she I'm going to fast for now to have the whole damn 05:18.580 --> 05:19.400 thing done. 05:19.570 --> 05:21.140 So let's go and phosphor for it now. 05:38.110 --> 05:44.870 I'll write you back k am so a couple things I want to show you is kind of tidy because things are up 05:45.170 --> 05:51.760 is with the selected often you want to play around with object blend and who's at the front and who's 05:51.770 --> 05:56.670 at the back if you reverse the front back you can like that's kind of more what I was looking for. 05:56.760 --> 05:59.600 And with all of these guys too I like that. 05:59.600 --> 06:00.270 I'm not sure. 06:00.470 --> 06:02.860 And there's a lot of kind of trial and error here. 06:02.990 --> 06:07.520 So object play and refrains from back. 06:08.380 --> 06:08.700 Yeah. 06:08.720 --> 06:12.660 Bits of it I like bits it's about I don't think you can do is you can edit it. 06:12.680 --> 06:18.290 OK so I like to go to command y all control y on a PC and you can edit a couple of things the splines 06:18.380 --> 06:24.590 and the and the kind of circles that we're using for blending going to grab my white Eric Metrix listen 06:24.600 --> 06:32.720 to and let's say that I want this kind of whipped to be like a lot bigger and when I'm maybe pintu and 06:33.080 --> 06:34.470 I'm I'm going a little bit 06:37.210 --> 06:43.290 too much time he has the Cuvier not the Kivi that bit but you know you can you can spin a bit more time 06:43.290 --> 06:43.710 here. 06:43.800 --> 06:44.760 Fixing these up. 06:44.850 --> 06:46.160 Also these guys here. 06:46.320 --> 06:48.640 Now I've got to beginning and ending shape right. 06:48.660 --> 06:49.880 So actually let's go. 06:49.880 --> 06:50.160 Come on. 06:50.170 --> 06:50.600 Why. 06:52.380 --> 06:53.910 So we've kind of fixed that one. 06:53.910 --> 06:56.270 You can play around the beginning and ending shape. 06:56.340 --> 06:57.860 So I'm going to zoom in. 06:58.510 --> 07:01.100 I grab my Erato on him. 07:01.170 --> 07:05.340 I'm going to try and look at him with my black error when I double click on him to go inside of him 07:05.670 --> 07:08.610 and that I can be a lot bigger. 07:08.870 --> 07:18.850 Have a look man why they don't have to be the same size they are kind of a feller that sets crapolla 07:18.970 --> 07:23.630 looks like a neon credible and what else can we do. 07:23.860 --> 07:29.380 Sometimes what I like to do is see this bad one here like it's not my favorite parts. 07:29.530 --> 07:34.240 And what I like to do with the gradients is let's go inside this once I get a double take the edge double 07:34.240 --> 07:38.560 click it until I double click it and come inside the play and I can see the fill here. 07:38.650 --> 07:45.340 What I like to do is go to my fill grading options and maybe just tuck that in a little bit right and 07:45.340 --> 07:47.080 add another one so I just click. 07:47.080 --> 07:50.980 So I just drag that one and then click some way down here and it makes a new swatch of double click 07:50.980 --> 07:58.460 that swatch and go to my favorite hue saturation and brightness and just drag down a little bit. 07:59.360 --> 08:03.890 What's happening here it gives it a kind of fun sometimes it just needs a little bit of that to kind 08:03.890 --> 08:05.470 of get the depth right. 08:05.600 --> 08:05.990 OK. 08:05.990 --> 08:08.530 And there's a better. 08:08.630 --> 08:14.390 It's not much better but it's got a bit more 3D shininess to it you can add a little bit of highlight 08:14.390 --> 08:21.500 on one side just really slow then of white can look quite cool when you finished you don't like this 08:21.500 --> 08:22.450 area. 08:25.210 --> 08:27.150 Sheen is struggling. 08:27.190 --> 08:32.840 I go in now and the other thing I'll just talk about it doesn't every circle is right and you can squeeze 08:32.840 --> 08:38.090 triangles stars that don't have to be the same things one could be a circle one could be a star and 08:38.090 --> 08:39.590 you get some really cool effects. 08:39.660 --> 08:44.070 Wasing I want to do is I want to show you some kind of grain. 08:44.390 --> 08:45.060 This one here. 08:45.080 --> 08:49.140 Now if you're finding like mine it's stressing out and you're happy with it and you're like man that's 08:49.140 --> 08:50.840 that's the kind of thing I wanted to do. 08:51.050 --> 08:58.300 And I think I like the way you can Slichter or can you do all one big-O object blend and we're going 08:58.310 --> 09:00.520 to go to expand. 09:00.610 --> 09:01.260 OK. 09:01.310 --> 09:02.740 And is it better. 09:02.810 --> 09:08.270 What happens is it's lots of shapes but it's going to be less stressful on this computer than the Blin 09:08.270 --> 09:09.410 mode trying to do it. 09:09.410 --> 09:14.200 The only trouble is it's not kind of it at all like it was before it's just the zillions of little shapes. 09:14.390 --> 09:19.790 So adding a bit of grain hides some of the bending and just looks kind of goes like film grain type 09:19.790 --> 09:20.470 of thing. 09:20.570 --> 09:21.990 And we do it this way. 09:22.010 --> 09:25.130 So we're going to grab the rectangle too. 09:25.400 --> 09:25.800 OK. 09:25.820 --> 09:29.620 And we're going to draw a rectangle over the whole thing because I want to kind of go across the grass 09:29.620 --> 09:30.430 as well. 09:32.160 --> 09:36.840 I'm going to fill it with white and I had no strik. 09:37.470 --> 09:47.040 And it's in effect up here called effect down to does the texture and then go to grain gay and minds 09:47.040 --> 09:49.020 kind of see it from when I was practicing before. 09:49.020 --> 09:53.250 Mine's 40 by 50 it really depends on the size of the box that you're using what kind of grain you want 09:53.310 --> 09:54.300 like the intensity. 09:54.300 --> 09:54.720 Crank it up. 09:54.720 --> 09:56.250 You can see kind of gets a bit more grainy. 09:56.250 --> 09:58.160 Depends on the kind of look you're looking for. 09:58.230 --> 09:59.760 You can play around what kind of grain. 09:59.760 --> 10:02.550 There's all sorts of stuff you can do is click OK. 10:02.660 --> 10:03.600 It doesn't quite work right. 10:03.600 --> 10:05.250 You got this just big white box. 10:05.250 --> 10:08.360 But memba alb blooming it's OK. 10:08.430 --> 10:15.180 And remember because where is that right click on a PSAT or if you're an older version go to window 10:15.690 --> 10:19.330 appearance click on a passerby and he a normal part would be multiply. 10:19.350 --> 10:22.670 Everything works on multiply and play around with different ones. 10:22.740 --> 10:24.810 But it just gives over cooked it. 10:24.920 --> 10:30.390 I totally have but he get the idea there then I really want to go back and change this. 10:30.390 --> 10:36.000 The cool thing about it it's an active effect so I can click on Green K and go back and say actually 10:36.010 --> 10:38.560 then what it was kind of messing with it. 10:39.240 --> 10:40.690 And let's have a look. 10:41.010 --> 10:43.000 I feel like that's kind of a happy medium. 10:43.080 --> 10:47.670 Maybe it's still a bit much but it's a bit of texture to your really strong Victor. 10:47.670 --> 10:50.230 All right so it is class exercise time. 10:50.310 --> 10:50.660 OK. 10:50.700 --> 10:52.880 And it's going be pretty easy one to understand. 10:52.880 --> 10:57.380 I want you to make your own name K and end all shapes. 10:57.410 --> 11:05.760 K. I want to just see some 3-D blobby goodness maybe some catapults and yet and I'd like you to share 11:05.760 --> 11:09.120 it on this Web site here as a project. 11:09.130 --> 11:09.470 OK. 11:09.490 --> 11:12.850 And but I'd love to see it on Twitter and Instagram. 11:13.270 --> 11:16.890 So Instagram is bring your own laptop. 11:16.920 --> 11:18.690 And Twitter is. 11:19.410 --> 11:22.210 You probably got this burned into your heads now. 11:22.230 --> 11:23.010 All right. 11:23.250 --> 11:24.860 I will see you in the next video. 11:25.110 --> 11:25.620 Bye now.
