WEBVTT 00:04.460 --> 00:07.930 Hello everybody and welcome to this very quick reminder video. 00:07.940 --> 00:12.780 Now we're going to talk about applying transforms we're about to do some animation in this section. 00:12.920 --> 00:19.040 And if you forget to apply your transforms as I've seen some of you do hence why this lecture even exists. 00:19.130 --> 00:24.350 If you forget to apply those transforms you can end up moving your model later on when we start rigging 00:24.350 --> 00:27.460 it and animating it and it will fly apart. 00:27.500 --> 00:33.140 And one of the reasons for that is the lack of applying of transforms now would just remind you now 00:33.170 --> 00:36.170 what that entails and the effect it's going to have on your model. 00:36.170 --> 00:40.620 So let's hop quickly over into blender and remind you about applying transforms. 00:41.850 --> 00:47.790 Okay so here in front of us I've mocked up a really quick lamp just to show you where the scaling is 00:47.790 --> 00:48.760 going funny. 00:48.810 --> 00:50.840 So we have four parts to our lamp. 00:50.840 --> 00:55.410 We have the base the lower arm upper arm and the lampshade itself. 00:55.420 --> 00:59.170 And as we look along here we've got a rotation that's on here. 00:59.220 --> 01:01.460 We've got a location and we've got a scale. 01:01.470 --> 01:07.170 These are the three transforms that you can go ahead and apply in general we're not going to touch the 01:07.170 --> 01:11.820 location that is important if you go and change its location you're going to often change its pivot 01:11.820 --> 01:17.190 point and even go ahead and inadvertently move your object so we don't want to do that. 01:17.280 --> 01:23.580 But the rotation itself we may want to set that and we also may want to have a look at the scale the 01:23.580 --> 01:25.450 dimensions are absolutely fine. 01:25.470 --> 01:29.130 You will not need to touch those but it may need scaling. 01:29.130 --> 01:34.910 If it's not got a scale factor of 1 1 1 on X Y and Z we need to apply a scale there as well. 01:35.040 --> 01:36.060 So let's start with this. 01:36.060 --> 01:41.640 On top we can see that it only needs a rotation applied so we can even go down to the object menu itself 01:42.060 --> 01:45.960 and go to apply and then we can apply the rotation. 01:45.960 --> 01:49.150 Now you can also see there the shortcut key is control in a. 01:49.320 --> 01:51.260 And that will bring up this same submenu. 01:51.260 --> 01:54.540 So we go ahead there and apply the rotation. 01:54.810 --> 01:59.960 Let's go to the next arm down at the upper arm in this case and just have a quick look here. 01:59.960 --> 02:01.310 So we've got this upper arm here. 02:01.380 --> 02:06.160 We can see it's got a rotation applied to it but it does have a scale factor on it. 02:06.240 --> 02:12.000 So in order to sort that out what we can do is go control and a Or command an A if you're on a Mac and 02:12.000 --> 02:18.330 we get that menu up and notice here we get an option for rotation and scale so that it does lump those 02:18.330 --> 02:22.150 two together because they're often two things you will need to apply. 02:22.470 --> 02:25.860 So let's go ahead and apply in this case just the scale because it's all we need. 02:25.950 --> 02:31.560 And then we can repeat that on these last two is where in fact we can group select them and apply the 02:31.560 --> 02:37.470 scale and then when we have a look at both of these individual items we can see that their scale factor 02:37.500 --> 02:38.570 is now 1. 02:38.610 --> 02:42.150 The rotation is or one is whether managed to click on the right part. 02:42.150 --> 02:42.800 There we go. 02:42.960 --> 02:46.520 And this lampshade as well is all sorted. 02:46.650 --> 02:53.040 So just as you're going through this section do remember to apply those transforms to save yourself 02:53.040 --> 02:54.970 a bit of headache further down the line. 02:54.990 --> 02:59.820 Of course the final thing you can do here is whenever you are creating parts for your lamp or any other 02:59.820 --> 03:01.140 project you're working on. 03:01.290 --> 03:04.970 Think carefully about when you when you need to resize something. 03:05.040 --> 03:10.080 If youre not reciting the entire object and then applying the scale afterwards if you are actually creating 03:10.080 --> 03:16.050 something then think about it is youre creating a mesh and therefore youre editing a mesh and therefore 03:16.260 --> 03:20.010 you would be in edit mode as you are editing something. 03:20.400 --> 03:20.970 Okay. 03:21.150 --> 03:25.560 Is no particular challenge with this video so we're going to crack on and jump straight into the next 03:25.560 --> 03:27.720 lecture and I'll see you all there.
