WEBVTT 00:04.250 --> 00:05.840 Hello everybody and welcome back. 00:05.840 --> 00:10.820 In this lecture we're going to take a really quick look at adding objects to our scene now in front 00:10.820 --> 00:13.120 of us art default scene we have a camera. 00:13.130 --> 00:13.950 Objects. 00:14.000 --> 00:21.960 If I go ahead and select that now we have a cube object and we also have a lamp or light object. 00:21.980 --> 00:29.780 Now all of these have a position in our 3D world and that position is governed by this little orange 00:29.780 --> 00:35.120 dots that all three have in the lamp in the cube it's in the center of them. 00:35.120 --> 00:38.620 And for the camera it's where the camera comes to a point. 00:38.630 --> 00:43.190 If we just move around slightly we can see it's got it there. 00:43.220 --> 00:45.710 Now we won't just cover adding objects. 00:45.710 --> 00:46.940 We're going to cover deleting them. 00:46.940 --> 00:52.670 So let's go ahead and delete all default cube I'm going to select it and I'm going to go X to delete 00:53.340 --> 00:58.290 when you press the X key we get a confirmation come up and then we can go ahead and delete. 00:58.310 --> 01:00.050 That's objects. 01:00.050 --> 01:03.620 Now what we can do straightaway is go ahead and add a different object. 01:03.620 --> 01:05.660 So we've got rid of our default cube. 01:05.720 --> 01:10.760 We can go up to the Add menu at the top here go to mash and add a cube back him. 01:10.760 --> 01:14.380 But now let's add something else let's add in a AUV sphere. 01:14.450 --> 01:17.700 So we've got a ball in our scene now. 01:17.750 --> 01:21.740 You can also see what's in your scene by going over to the outline. 01:22.490 --> 01:27.500 If we go ahead and I'm going to widen this up a little and let's have a look by clicking this that's 01:27.500 --> 01:30.440 an hour here we get a dropdown we've got camera. 01:30.530 --> 01:35.360 And if we left click here you can see not only is it selected in the outline which can be a little bit 01:35.360 --> 01:42.170 difficult to see the orange circle behind the objects but also it's selected in the 3D view and the 01:42.170 --> 01:44.730 same is true with the light and the sphere. 01:44.840 --> 01:48.470 And these are ordered by their name. 01:48.470 --> 01:52.730 Now the question is why did that sphere appear in the center of the world. 01:52.730 --> 01:56.820 Well objects will appear wherever the 3d cursor is placed. 01:56.840 --> 02:02.540 Now if we have a look on the tool shelf on the left hand side if it's not there press the T key to make 02:02.540 --> 02:08.690 it appear and we've got this little thing that looks like a target this red and white circle with crosshairs 02:08.690 --> 02:09.110 in the middle. 02:09.110 --> 02:15.110 If we go ahead and click that if you make sure that surface projects has a tick in it we can click on 02:15.110 --> 02:22.280 our sphere and if we zoom in and I'm going to just pan down ever so slightly we see that this cursor 02:22.310 --> 02:26.270 is now snapped to the surface of our cube. 02:26.270 --> 02:32.840 And now if we go ahead and go add mash and let's go to a cube it will add it with the center of that 02:32.840 --> 02:35.810 object where the 3d cursor is. 02:36.020 --> 02:42.350 Now whilst you've added something in the lower left you'll see something that says add cube if we do 02:42.470 --> 02:46.970 anything else to the cube that will disappear and change to something else. 02:46.970 --> 02:48.620 This is the operator panel. 02:48.620 --> 02:55.390 If we go ahead and open it up we've got an option and this is the one time option to edit. 02:55.400 --> 02:56.650 That's primitive. 02:56.750 --> 03:00.650 Now with a cube that doesn't matter too much because a cube is a cube is a cube. 03:00.650 --> 03:06.920 But we can change its size but if we go ahead and click on the edge of the cube here and go to add something 03:06.920 --> 03:11.600 else a bit more complex like a U V sphere again. 03:11.600 --> 03:18.770 We see that we've got an option here to adjust how many segments how many rings its radius and loads 03:18.770 --> 03:21.400 of other pre-determined options as well. 03:21.410 --> 03:28.490 I'm going to make this a very very low low polygon sphere and as we can see is very low at the moment 03:28.520 --> 03:30.890 I'm going to make it just a tiny bit smaller as well. 03:30.890 --> 03:37.490 Now if you're clicking and dragging in these fields what you can do is hold down the shift key to really 03:37.490 --> 03:42.800 slow down so you're not jumping all over the place and trying to really find assets you can hold down 03:42.800 --> 03:47.300 shift and that will slow down how rapidly these values change. 03:47.360 --> 03:51.920 So we've now got a couple of objects added to a scene and we can see in the outline that we've got a 03:51.920 --> 04:00.530 series of spheres and a cube now sphere and Sphere 001 aren't great names we can rename streets in here 04:01.130 --> 04:02.350 and type in the name. 04:02.360 --> 04:05.810 So I call cool this one low poly sphere. 04:05.810 --> 04:08.620 Now it is important to name things as you go. 04:08.690 --> 04:15.800 Now you'll notice that underneath it also got renamed and that's because we're in the object data properties 04:15.830 --> 04:18.740 and we have a closer look at that area in the future. 04:19.340 --> 04:25.490 So the final thing I want to show you is having precise control over this 3d cursor at the moment we 04:25.490 --> 04:31.250 can click on the surface of an object and it will place things there but it might be worthwhile generating 04:31.310 --> 04:36.860 our objects in a very precise location in order to do that we'd need to position that 3d cursor more 04:36.860 --> 04:42.740 precisely and that's true let's say if we wanted another lamp in our scene we can't just click anywhere 04:42.770 --> 04:48.730 and it also magically go to the right place because there's no surface for this 3d cursor to go to. 04:48.740 --> 04:54.320 So if I go ahead and open up the 3D Ed properties panel by even go into the little arrow next to the 04:54.320 --> 04:59.810 3D limbo or pressing the end key we will go into this one lots in the course. 04:59.930 --> 05:06.020 And if I scroll down we've got an option for the 3D cursors position and hey you can type in some world 05:06.020 --> 05:07.070 coordinates. 05:07.070 --> 05:16.250 So if I wanted to position a lamp directly above this object I would have an x location of 0 a y location 05:16.280 --> 05:16.990 of 0. 05:17.630 --> 05:24.770 And here we can see maybe an as Z location of three and then we can go to the ad menu or use the shortcuts 05:25.130 --> 05:30.700 and go to light and we've got a couple of different types of lights but I'm going to add a point light 05:30.800 --> 05:33.800 again just like the one we've got at the top here. 05:33.950 --> 05:37.670 We'll cover lights and lamps in much more detail later on. 05:37.760 --> 05:42.200 And there we go we may think that the other lamp is now redundant. 05:42.210 --> 05:47.070 So in order to select it we're going to have to go back over to our tool shelf and I'm going to click 05:47.100 --> 05:49.830 over so we're selecting items again. 05:49.830 --> 05:51.390 And then I can select my lamp. 05:51.480 --> 05:54.150 Press x to delete and off we go. 05:54.870 --> 05:57.990 Okay everybody I've got a real quick challenge for you. 05:57.990 --> 06:00.200 Just so we can practice what we've just learned. 06:00.210 --> 06:07.890 I'd like you to load up the default scene delete the Cuban light from the scene and add in a U V sphere 06:08.280 --> 06:14.940 and another light put it in a different place if you like but it has to be away and somewhere floating 06:14.940 --> 06:19.380 in space like we've done with this one here pause video now and give that's a go 06:23.670 --> 06:25.080 Hello everybody and welcome back. 06:25.080 --> 06:28.910 Let's go ahead and do this real quick challenge something to open up about the false scene. 06:28.920 --> 06:32.140 I'm going to delete my lamp. 06:32.280 --> 06:34.260 I'm going to delete my cube. 06:34.260 --> 06:39.150 Now the 3-D cursor is already in the middle of the scene so I can go ahead and add in my u v sphere 06:39.150 --> 06:41.040 straight away. 06:41.040 --> 06:46.670 Now for the 3d cursor for the lights needs to be placed in a certain position. 06:46.680 --> 06:49.230 And we haven't taught you how to move things yet. 06:49.290 --> 06:52.030 What I can do here is set my 3d cursor. 06:52.120 --> 06:57.960 I'm going to lift it up and I'm going to move it out and across ever so slightly sets roughly the same 06:57.960 --> 06:59.290 as it was before. 06:59.320 --> 07:02.440 I'm going to add in the type of light that point lights. 07:02.580 --> 07:03.330 And there we go. 07:03.360 --> 07:05.090 My scene has been recreated. 07:05.120 --> 07:07.300 But this time with a goofy sphere. 07:07.870 --> 07:09.030 OK so there we go. 07:09.030 --> 07:14.070 Everybody well done for performing this very simple challenge but very important challenge. 07:14.070 --> 07:19.530 These are some of the fundamental skills that you're going to be using again and again in blender and 07:19.530 --> 07:25.550 it won't be long before you're generating some really amazing models from just using these basic skills. 07:25.650 --> 07:28.380 But until then I'll see you in the next lecture.
