WEBVTT 00:01.050 --> 00:09.540 Welcome to using procedural textures in this video will be introducing procedural textures and applying 00:09.540 --> 00:12.330 some to the chequers on the board. 00:12.330 --> 00:15.010 So let's hop straight on over in a blender. 00:15.240 --> 00:21.620 Now procedural textures are very similar to the image texture that we've just placed on the board. 00:21.810 --> 00:30.600 However the procedure ones often do rely on the diffuse colour that you set for V for the material itself. 00:30.600 --> 00:39.000 So if we go to our chess board itself we will see that it has two materials applied to Already a white 00:39.000 --> 00:40.200 square in a black square. 00:40.200 --> 00:40.880 Great. 00:40.950 --> 00:47.280 So we're going to select the black squares in this case and we're going to go to texture and I'm going 00:47.280 --> 00:48.590 to create a new texture. 00:48.590 --> 00:50.120 And I'm going to call it black square. 00:50.130 --> 00:52.490 So I don't get confused. 00:52.590 --> 00:53.930 Black square. 00:54.970 --> 00:55.830 Excellent. 00:56.170 --> 01:04.420 Now when before when we were adding here with the type of image or movie we've got all of these other 01:04.420 --> 01:10.780 options to choose from now each one of these will have a different pattern if we if we pick it we can 01:10.780 --> 01:16.820 see that straight away we end up with this somewhat or looks like pink leopardskin going on. 01:16.930 --> 01:19.750 We certainly don't want that to happen. 01:19.930 --> 01:24.840 The pinkness that and if you scroll right down we can see the other colour. 01:24.850 --> 01:27.610 It's bringing in just down here. 01:27.910 --> 01:36.830 So in this case we can change that from pink to white or blue or something else or maybe even orange. 01:36.850 --> 01:37.670 Who knows. 01:37.810 --> 01:41.300 That really does look like a leopard skin at this point in time. 01:41.460 --> 01:47.110 Now if we zoom in a little closer we are in the rended mode at the moment we can see that there's this 01:47.110 --> 01:51.610 horrible line going through the middle of Our Square. 01:51.650 --> 01:55.840 Now I'm pretty certain that this square is what we call plainer. 01:55.940 --> 01:57.650 It's completely flat. 01:57.800 --> 02:03.390 However it's trying to probably do a movie mapping to our. 02:03.400 --> 02:06.720 And yes it is here mapping the coordinate systems you V. 02:06.910 --> 02:10.510 If we change that's generated looks a bit odd. 02:10.510 --> 02:14.280 And that's because now that texture is spread out amongst all of these. 02:14.270 --> 02:17.640 We can see it's much larger than it was if we try object. 02:17.680 --> 02:19.670 It's gone really really small. 02:19.780 --> 02:26.250 If we set the object of the chessboard Well that's still a bit spotty for my liking. 02:26.350 --> 02:29.600 So we've got some options here that we can go through. 02:29.620 --> 02:36.700 I do prefer generated and perhaps if we were to make it a little smaller on the X Y and Z I like the 02:36.700 --> 02:41.160 way that it's spread out making each one look considerably different. 02:41.290 --> 02:44.490 However I'm not too keen on the type. 02:44.510 --> 02:46.540 This looks more of a tortoise shell. 02:46.540 --> 02:47.690 Now it's this big. 02:47.830 --> 02:54.130 So we can go back up here and we can change it to something else and there's loads of different types 02:54.780 --> 03:00.170 that you can choose from most of them will be seen as a kind of noise if you will. 03:00.310 --> 03:03.420 And there are various options so we can see this. 03:03.420 --> 03:05.400 I think that's pronounced sticky. 03:05.800 --> 03:12.650 If not do forgive me but that is the type of procedural generated texture that's going on here. 03:12.700 --> 03:18.610 If we changed that to clouds then when we scroll down it will have changed to some cloud options or 03:18.750 --> 03:25.240 oh quite like the clouds that it's put on there that see if we can play about with a bit more so if 03:25.240 --> 03:26.470 I change that to hard. 03:26.650 --> 03:30.240 Oh that's much better it's got sort of a grain to it. 03:30.250 --> 03:33.220 I don't know quite how to explain it but I do like that. 03:33.400 --> 03:38.280 Let's play with the depths as that shoots up as high as it go. 03:38.350 --> 03:42.470 Often the best way of seeing the difference between. 03:44.580 --> 03:48.930 What these options will do is to go to extremes high and low. 03:49.000 --> 03:51.480 Size if we go a bit higher. 03:51.480 --> 03:55.360 We can see that spread out across the entire board. 03:55.390 --> 03:57.400 Now we probably don't want that. 03:57.420 --> 04:04.640 So let's go back down to points to see what point one looks like that's a bit messy that low. 04:04.650 --> 04:10.410 So again you can go backwards and forwards and find out what you like now. 04:10.530 --> 04:13.750 I like that pattern but I think the orange is too bright. 04:13.780 --> 04:20.490 I'm going to go back to our material and scroll down the diffuse colour. 04:20.490 --> 04:23.970 Here is black because it's a black square. 04:23.970 --> 04:25.620 So sorry it's not that one. 04:25.650 --> 04:28.040 It's this colour here. 04:28.320 --> 04:30.500 An arm lit she unlike I like the colour. 04:30.500 --> 04:36.890 I just want it dark and then drag down the lightness on the side here. 04:37.220 --> 04:40.660 I might have to make it a little little different. 04:40.860 --> 04:44.750 Then again you get the hang of this playing about with it. 04:44.760 --> 04:46.060 I like that. 04:46.080 --> 04:50.910 It's now subtle yet won't detract from the rest of the board itself. 04:50.940 --> 04:51.840 Brilliant. 04:52.260 --> 04:54.570 Okay guys it's Challenge time for you. 04:54.570 --> 04:58.020 I'd like you to texture the white squares for me. 04:58.050 --> 05:04.560 So using a procedural texture on the white squares do exactly what we've done with the black ones. 05:04.560 --> 05:09.020 Choose a different type So it's it's kind of similar but different. 05:09.140 --> 05:12.810 And make sure it is visible but again make it subtle. 05:12.810 --> 05:19.050 We don't want it standing out and distracting the board is the stage for art pieces to sit on. 05:19.080 --> 05:21.080 Not the main feature. 05:21.200 --> 05:23.870 Suppose a video now and give that a go. 05:26.050 --> 05:26.910 Okay guys. 05:26.950 --> 05:28.420 Welcome back. 05:28.420 --> 05:31.120 Let's hop straight on over into blender. 05:31.450 --> 05:38.290 Okay so the white squares so we can simply go to the chess board down here. 05:38.290 --> 05:41.970 Switch our material to white square. 05:42.310 --> 05:48.490 I'm going to go to the texture's tab to scroll up in this case and get a change for that pink straight 05:48.610 --> 05:49.920 to. 05:50.930 --> 05:51.760 Blue. 05:52.140 --> 05:52.870 I've got a feeling. 05:52.870 --> 05:55.890 White and Blue might go quite well. 05:56.060 --> 05:57.780 And under the name this texture. 05:57.800 --> 06:00.620 White square. 06:02.410 --> 06:02.790 Okay. 06:02.800 --> 06:06.260 So we've got that that's change the type here too. 06:07.330 --> 06:10.090 Just try anything for the moments. 06:10.240 --> 06:12.750 Not too sure on that one. 06:12.760 --> 06:15.200 Let's try marble marbles going to be call cool. 06:15.310 --> 06:19.570 That's a bit too spread out so let's scroll down again. 06:19.580 --> 06:22.210 It's generated let's apply it to the OBJ. 06:22.210 --> 06:25.040 Oh that looks horrible. 06:25.180 --> 06:30.210 You can see how playing with some of these doesn't work out to your advantage duvy also looks horrible. 06:30.250 --> 06:34.210 So let's go back to generated and it's just too big at the moment. 06:34.210 --> 06:36.750 So from the size here. 06:38.410 --> 06:40.710 Let's lower that right down. 06:41.620 --> 06:42.820 Point oh five. 06:42.820 --> 06:45.080 By the looks of it that's a bit better. 06:45.100 --> 06:45.840 Yes I do. 06:45.850 --> 06:52.420 Like that's a little lower I think it's play with the depth turbulence. 06:52.500 --> 06:54.700 Well that's interesting. 06:54.790 --> 06:56.120 Not that high though. 06:58.660 --> 07:02.860 A little higher than that so you can go through here and play to your heart's content. 07:02.880 --> 07:03.860 All right. 07:04.020 --> 07:09.810 I like that but it's too pronounced so we need to certainly tone that down a little so I'm going to 07:09.810 --> 07:12.380 go to here. 07:13.070 --> 07:17.560 Let's bring that back up and drag it towards the lighter side of things. 07:17.910 --> 07:21.210 There's going to be incredibly subtle we're not too careful. 07:21.210 --> 07:22.700 It will just disappear. 07:23.080 --> 07:23.990 Okay. 07:25.230 --> 07:28.590 Got a kind of a marble defect down there. 07:28.610 --> 07:32.020 Is there anything else we can do to help pronounce it. 07:32.020 --> 07:32.460 Ch change. 07:32.450 --> 07:33.980 It's a sharp. 07:34.010 --> 07:36.210 There are lots of options here. 07:36.290 --> 07:38.850 Looks like lacquers peeling off at the moment. 07:38.870 --> 07:43.220 I think I'm sick of being a bit soft in its tone or blender original. 07:43.220 --> 07:46.500 So there's a lot of different options we can have. 07:46.520 --> 07:48.710 All that was a good pick. 07:48.710 --> 07:50.540 Let's try another one quickly. 07:50.780 --> 07:52.870 Yes I do like fats. 07:52.940 --> 07:53.710 So there we go. 07:53.710 --> 07:56.820 We've got our board now all mocked up and ready. 07:56.960 --> 08:01.610 A couple of things that I'm going to do that you dont have to do but I'm just going to sort them out. 08:01.610 --> 08:06.390 I'm going to group these together under another empty. 08:06.410 --> 08:12.530 Again you can group them just on top of one another if you want but I'm going to create an empty for 08:12.530 --> 08:18.120 us after centreing called Whereas the antes go on being blind. 08:18.140 --> 08:18.930 Empty. 08:19.010 --> 08:20.310 Just a plain access. 08:20.320 --> 08:22.270 I'm going to call this chess board. 08:25.030 --> 08:31.300 And another way you can parent objects is you can simply drag and drop them here in the outliner over 08:31.300 --> 08:32.960 the top of the parent that you want. 08:33.010 --> 08:39.170 Now the chess board is all grouped together so I can turn it on and off at will. 08:39.370 --> 08:40.900 Excellent. 08:40.960 --> 08:46.160 Oh yes there was one final thing that I wanted to do there and I just want to see what this looks like. 08:46.180 --> 08:50.290 If I set the shading on the chess board surround. 08:50.440 --> 08:55.710 So now we've got that if we set the chessboards round to smooth shading. 08:56.470 --> 08:57.290 Ah ha. 08:57.310 --> 08:58.300 Yes. 08:58.300 --> 08:59.820 Do I like that better. 09:01.170 --> 09:02.790 I think I do. 09:02.790 --> 09:04.560 Not sure actually. 09:04.590 --> 09:07.830 No leave it with flat shading along the board. 09:07.970 --> 09:11.110 I think I prefer the sharper edges on it. 09:11.490 --> 09:11.760 Okay. 09:11.760 --> 09:12.330 Brilliant. 09:12.450 --> 09:15.170 How did you guys get on please share in the discussions. 09:15.180 --> 09:18.130 And of course I will see you in the next lecture.
