WEBVTT 00:00.630 --> 00:03.750 Welcome to in setting in blender. 00:03.750 --> 00:10.470 In this video we're going to learn how to use a very powerful tool the inset tool and also understanding 00:10.470 --> 00:13.710 how the outset option works. 00:13.710 --> 00:16.800 So let's hop over into blender. 00:16.830 --> 00:19.600 This is the default view as always. 00:19.610 --> 00:29.870 And let's just zoom in to our cube hop home over into edit mode and we're going to select a face. 00:29.880 --> 00:33.740 So the inset tool works best when you select a face. 00:33.780 --> 00:36.650 And you can find it under meche. 00:37.560 --> 00:42.940 Faces and then inset faces and you can see it's got the shortcut key. 00:42.940 --> 00:50.610 I know when you incept the face it's effectively the same as and we've just locked it in. 00:50.610 --> 00:59.040 There is effect the same as extruding that entire face by nothing moving it no where creating a duplicate 00:59.040 --> 01:06.060 face on top of it and then scaling it inwards and we can demonstrate that on this face here if we extrude 01:06.390 --> 01:13.180 as we've done before but by zero and then scale that down. 01:13.320 --> 01:21.270 It produces a very similar result but allows us to do it in one operation we can then take that new 01:21.270 --> 01:24.450 face and do what we want with it. 01:24.480 --> 01:28.260 Now this face here we'll just play with it a little more. 01:28.560 --> 01:40.230 If we go in insets and we just move it a little and left click on the left hand side we see this area 01:40.230 --> 01:45.960 here which allows us to alter what we're doing so we've got inset faces from so we've got the boundary 01:45.960 --> 01:47.880 offset even et cetera et cetera. 01:48.160 --> 01:50.790 Now down here we have some finer control. 01:50.790 --> 01:58.080 So thickness refers to how far this insets has gone and as we can see we're just that it moves up and 01:58.080 --> 01:59.130 down. 01:59.520 --> 02:06.900 And in this case this number is relative to the actual face itself. 02:06.900 --> 02:12.550 So in this case one is in setting all the way up. 02:12.720 --> 02:16.570 So what I have done there is I've clicked away from this. 02:16.570 --> 02:21.400 Incest is actually set it at those distances which is not what I wanted to do. 02:21.610 --> 02:24.430 So I'm going to undo what we've just done. 02:24.450 --> 02:27.410 I'm going to go an inset again and left click. 02:27.410 --> 02:29.390 Just the once. 02:30.090 --> 02:35.820 So down here we've got our thickness if we set that to one it will inset right to the middle. 02:35.820 --> 02:40.920 If we insert it two point five then it will inset half way. 02:40.920 --> 02:43.240 That's how that is working there. 02:43.320 --> 02:45.140 The depth is slightly different. 02:45.140 --> 02:51.140 Now the depth allows you to push into your model or pull out of your model. 02:51.140 --> 02:58.040 See you can do what we've just done to the top in one movement from here and very precisely. 02:58.500 --> 03:07.980 Now outset is a bit different outset keeps the new geometry in the same place and it looks a bit weird. 03:07.980 --> 03:09.930 Now if took the outset button. 03:09.930 --> 03:14.220 So let's go back and play with these numbers so we can see what happens. 03:14.400 --> 03:21.960 Now you can see that this new face here the depth is the size of that face so if we leave it set at 03:21.960 --> 03:24.630 zero it'll be the same size as it was before. 03:24.630 --> 03:30.680 But the thickness is pushing the rest of the geometry away from that face. 03:30.690 --> 03:36.540 So this is what it looked like and as we poorish were pushing the rest of the geometry and it's squashing 03:36.570 --> 03:41.950 a way and there will be certain times where that will be of great benefit to us. 03:42.390 --> 03:48.740 So just remember that outsets you can toggle it on and off here and it will remember your previous ones 03:48.760 --> 03:55.800 if you go to insets again am and outsets is actually turned on ticked on the left hand side there in 03:55.800 --> 03:57.320 the operator panel. 03:57.320 --> 04:03.000 Then you may find yourself having difficulties thinking it's in setting and it's going to be outsetting. 04:03.030 --> 04:07.610 You can also use the o key as well to get out of outset mode. 04:07.680 --> 04:13.060 So armed with that knowledge I have a challenge for you guys and v.a challenge. 04:13.070 --> 04:15.920 I would like you to go ahead and create a Mayan pyramid. 04:16.080 --> 04:22.220 Now using the inset tool create a mind pyramid so we're gonna use that tool to create it. 04:22.230 --> 04:27.270 But I'm going to give you some guidance now has to how I'd like you to go ahead constructing it so that 04:27.270 --> 04:31.650 you can end up with something that's very similar to what I'm going to be making seek and follow along 04:31.650 --> 04:33.030 really closely if you want. 04:33.030 --> 04:36.450 So of course if you want to go off on your own please do. 04:36.450 --> 04:38.820 Just remember to save your file before you do that. 04:38.910 --> 04:40.330 So you can come back to it as well. 04:40.350 --> 04:46.080 If you need to I'd like you to make the base 20 by 20 blender units. 04:46.080 --> 04:54.180 So that would be scaling up the cube that we have by 10 times on only the x and y axis. 04:54.180 --> 04:56.390 I believe that's how I'm going to start doing it. 04:56.550 --> 05:03.810 Now make each step have a height of one and a depth of one and that means that the angle when we eventually 05:03.810 --> 05:09.450 get to putting the smaller steps that go up the side of the pyramid will be 45 degrees and that really 05:09.450 --> 05:11.490 does help us later on. 05:11.490 --> 05:18.180 I recommend around seven steps or so and then we'll add the smaller steps to it later so don't worry 05:18.180 --> 05:22.590 about having to add those tiny steps which you'd walk up later on. 05:22.710 --> 05:27.090 So to give you an idea of a style a pyramid would go for it's going to be this here but we're going 05:27.090 --> 05:29.970 to do a much lower poly version of that. 05:30.000 --> 05:34.920 So this is sort of like the end goal if you were really getting into your modelling. 05:34.920 --> 05:36.990 However this is the source of pyra. 05:37.180 --> 05:43.720 We're going for and as you can see here we have one two three four five six seven steps and then we've 05:43.720 --> 05:47.520 got the little sort of box shape on top as well. 05:47.530 --> 05:52.290 And that base is going to be 20 along here by 20 along here. 05:52.540 --> 05:53.480 So there we go. 05:53.590 --> 05:55.670 All set up and ready to go. 05:55.690 --> 05:58.510 Pause video now and give it a try. 06:00.710 --> 06:01.850 OK everybody welcome back. 06:01.850 --> 06:06.770 Let's go ahead now and I'm going to go through the process of creating my Mayan pyramid. 06:08.410 --> 06:12.340 I'm going to get rid of what we've got on the screen because it's not going to be a good starting point 06:12.340 --> 06:14.790 in this case and it is going to start a new fire. 06:15.280 --> 06:18.550 So I'm going to want to start with the base. 06:18.550 --> 06:24.680 So I'm simply going to scale this cube whilst we're still in object mode that's fine. 06:24.790 --> 06:26.460 And I only want it on the x y. 06:26.470 --> 06:33.120 So I'm going to exclude the z axis was shift Z and I'm going to pull that out and I'm going to lock 06:33.120 --> 06:35.260 it it's a size of 10. 06:35.800 --> 06:39.880 So that's 10 times bigger in the x y plane and fit in the Z. 06:40.510 --> 06:44.370 Okay so now we can hop on over into edit mode. 06:45.360 --> 06:48.310 And I'm going to go to face select. 06:48.330 --> 06:55.950 Now another way as you can see here that you can do this is control and Tab gives you a pop up wherever 06:55.950 --> 06:58.810 you are in the 3D editor to select what you want to do. 06:58.840 --> 07:00.470 In this case face. 07:00.640 --> 07:02.850 And I'm going to select this top face. 07:02.900 --> 07:06.250 Now I'm going to insert it by pressing the key. 07:06.360 --> 07:13.860 Now remembering that's the this is the number that it's going in by is proportional to the actual size 07:13.860 --> 07:14.960 of the face. 07:14.970 --> 07:18.820 So I want each step to be one and I've gone out by 10. 07:18.870 --> 07:22.330 So I need 10 percent or point one. 07:22.500 --> 07:28.830 So I was going to type in point one and we can see along the bottom that the thickness is set to point 07:28.860 --> 07:29.640 1. 07:30.090 --> 07:32.470 And I'm just going to press enter at that point. 07:32.870 --> 07:40.290 And there we go we've inset now we can extrude that face upwards sung and press the E key to extrude 07:40.550 --> 07:46.340 is already seems to be locked in the z axis and I can press one and press enter. 07:46.380 --> 07:47.320 So there we go. 07:47.370 --> 07:52.140 There's our first step and we're going to have to repeat that a couple of times to get our steps in 07:52.140 --> 07:52.920 place. 07:52.980 --> 08:00.510 So I'm going to do that now so I'm going to get insert by point one extrude and we can see the blue 08:00.990 --> 08:07.520 z axis is highlighted succoured just hit one eye point one e one. 08:07.920 --> 08:16.200 So this is quite a quick way of getting our pyramid shape built up by just using the keyboard and not 08:16.200 --> 08:18.020 even touching the mouse at the moment. 08:18.150 --> 08:25.200 Of course you could go through and all I've gone out of sync there you could go through and use the 08:25.290 --> 08:29.870 normal commands with all the buttons on the side if you wanted to. 08:29.880 --> 08:36.310 I do like using keyboard shorts where possible because it tends to be or they tend to be very powerful. 08:36.480 --> 08:43.230 And I have gone into automation mode now so I have no idea if I've done seven or it has to be at least 08:43.230 --> 08:43.560 seven. 08:43.560 --> 08:44.670 I think I said so there we go. 08:44.670 --> 08:47.080 So we got the final box on top. 08:47.250 --> 08:49.880 So there's a nice mind pyramid there. 08:50.730 --> 08:56.740 And I'm actually going to move this bottom face also up by one. 08:56.790 --> 09:00.420 So I'm just going to grab it and move it up. 09:02.310 --> 09:08.220 But I wanted to be a bit more precise so grab by one and we can see it's travelling by one in the lower 09:08.220 --> 09:12.870 left and press the Z key to make sure it's going in the z axis. 09:12.870 --> 09:14.260 And I will at press enter. 09:14.310 --> 09:20.210 So now I can see that that the base of this pyramid is actually on the x y plane. 09:20.220 --> 09:23.400 So is on what we call the light the ground. 09:23.400 --> 09:28.180 So the final bit here is this little bit of square stuff at the top. 09:28.230 --> 09:30.270 I haven't a clue how wide that is. 09:30.750 --> 09:32.400 Probably three or four. 09:32.550 --> 09:39.810 So if I extrude And again the blues already highlighted by four and just have a look that just looks 09:39.840 --> 09:41.890 odd it doesn't it looks too big. 09:41.900 --> 09:45.630 I'm just going to bring it down to there. 09:45.670 --> 09:47.620 So I'm just doing that by eye. 09:48.120 --> 09:54.540 So there we go we've got our basic pyramid you of course could go in and create some steps if you wanted 09:54.540 --> 09:59.820 to make this a much more fleshed out pyramid using the previous knowledge that we've got. 09:59.850 --> 10:04.650 Otherwise there we go we've got my pyramid using the inset tool. 10:04.860 --> 10:06.710 Take care see you in the next lecture.
