WEBVTT 00:00.530 --> 00:07.880 Welcome to setting up the camera in this video you will understand that the can review is for our animation 00:07.880 --> 00:12.010 rendering as well as our normal rendering that we do. 00:12.080 --> 00:13.710 We're going to set up the camera. 00:14.600 --> 00:18.760 Ready for the animation and also and make the camera. 00:19.220 --> 00:21.750 So let's hop straight on over into blender. 00:23.190 --> 00:27.250 Okay so we have our animated lamp that's jumping about here. 00:27.390 --> 00:32.430 But of course the way that we're currently viewing it the view that we've currently got is nothing to 00:32.430 --> 00:33.730 do with the rendering. 00:33.750 --> 00:39.250 If we go over here and click render image we will see what actually is going on. 00:39.500 --> 00:40.100 Okay. 00:40.110 --> 00:44.880 So before we go any further there's something really weird going on with this space here. 00:44.880 --> 00:49.530 This is not the view we want for our animation but this is neither the base that we want here so let's 00:49.530 --> 00:52.140 go and troubleshoot this really quickly. 00:52.170 --> 00:59.820 Now it looks like geometry is going over the top of one another yet in the 3D view. 00:59.850 --> 01:07.170 When we render or set the viewport shading to rendered we don't get that issue so something that's turned 01:07.170 --> 01:13.460 on in rendered mode is not turned on in our view mode. 01:13.500 --> 01:19.230 I'm guessing actually looking at the outline here I'm guessing it's probably these two curves are still 01:19.800 --> 01:22.820 rendering we can see here they've got still cameras on them. 01:22.820 --> 01:29.820 So these are the base curves that we had before we turned those two off and just render our image again 01:30.510 --> 01:31.210 perfect. 01:31.230 --> 01:34.100 That artefact has gone so a good point. 01:34.110 --> 01:40.560 Just to highlight here that before we go an animator anything and do 120 different renders. 01:40.560 --> 01:43.130 Let's just make sure one of them comes out right first. 01:43.140 --> 01:44.220 And I'm happy with that. 01:44.310 --> 01:46.480 But I'm not happy with how it looks. 01:46.500 --> 01:51.340 So we need to move our camera sets hop straight back to the 3D view. 01:51.720 --> 01:52.380 Okay. 01:52.470 --> 01:59.040 And let's turn on some of the other lighting that's going to be going on here so we're missing the plane 01:59.070 --> 02:06.870 at the back so let's turn that plane on right and hop around to where the camera is so view camera or 02:06.870 --> 02:11.330 no pad ziran and this is what the camera can currently see. 02:11.340 --> 02:15.090 You will not all that the carrot and carrot and say I'm not going to need to zoom out a little. 02:15.150 --> 02:20.310 They go that's what the camera is Curry currently seeing inside that border. 02:20.310 --> 02:23.230 Now that's not an inspiring view. 02:23.250 --> 02:27.870 We want to move the camera around and the camera is just like any other object. 02:27.990 --> 02:31.890 First of all in the outline and we need to check that it is actually visible in our scene. 02:31.920 --> 02:33.790 We can see that it is not. 02:33.870 --> 02:39.480 And if we try and select the camera and do anything with it try and move it well we can move it up here 02:39.480 --> 02:41.840 in the transform pane that's absolutely fine. 02:41.880 --> 02:49.180 But if we try use G and move it with out it being selected as visible it won't do anything. 02:49.210 --> 02:53.960 Depends which tools you want to use our We've got key framing still turned on notes as this is all gone 02:54.060 --> 02:54.870 yellow. 02:54.900 --> 03:01.350 Now we may in fact want to key frame it anyway so let's move it around to its starting position. 03:01.410 --> 03:04.260 So I'm definitely going to want to rotate. 03:04.260 --> 03:14.220 It's not like four that's around it's own z axis maybe about there now this plane that submitting light 03:14.250 --> 03:20.190 for us is likely to end up being in my shot if we leave it like this and we don't want that. 03:20.190 --> 03:24.610 If we go file file we go render render image. 03:25.620 --> 03:27.350 Well let's see as that comes out yes. 03:27.480 --> 03:29.800 That plane is going to be in our render. 03:30.840 --> 03:35.240 And we don't think we can just turn it off in the render because there will lose the light from it. 03:35.250 --> 03:40.410 Let's just try that and go and click on render as it comes out you see the scenes much darker so we 03:40.410 --> 03:46.140 cant just hide it from our friends because it needs to physically be there in order to admit light to 03:46.140 --> 03:50.910 make our lamp shine so were going to have to move the camera ever so slightly closer on a hot straight 03:50.910 --> 03:59.810 back round to the 3D view and we were going to use these transform here's just adjust our view of slightly. 03:59.970 --> 04:03.450 I do actually want to be a bit closer to the lamp so there's fire. 04:03.490 --> 04:12.330 I'm just going to grab the camera and move it there and let's hop into non rendered just solid view 04:12.810 --> 04:16.710 and just play our animation and see how that looks OK. 04:16.860 --> 04:18.070 That's looking good. 04:20.200 --> 04:25.390 We can see here that the animation it's slipping back ever so slightly before we go. 04:25.390 --> 04:29.970 So let's just go to this part here and then. 04:30.190 --> 04:36.160 Well we don't want the camera following us so we just need to shift it back slightly on that key frame 04:36.160 --> 04:38.170 there since I am going to annamay this. 04:38.170 --> 04:42.260 I can just move it back ever so slightly like that. 04:42.290 --> 04:46.720 Let's see how that looks now as we shift through yet that's still in frame. 04:47.850 --> 04:53.320 And it's actually still in frame as it jumps at the top so let's see if we can zoom in a little closer 04:53.320 --> 04:57.080 so let's change the work. 04:57.130 --> 05:02.200 Is it going to be Z goes up and down so I'm going to have to move it down slightly and then move it 05:02.200 --> 05:03.860 closer to the camera. 05:03.910 --> 05:07.050 And probably this way as well. 05:07.840 --> 05:12.120 Now I need to rotate it so let's rotate round a little this way. 05:14.070 --> 05:18.570 I don't need to do it that way and I will have to look up slightly because I'm going to lower the camera 05:18.630 --> 05:21.780 down here and pull it back here. 05:21.780 --> 05:23.590 There's lots of adjustments you can do here. 05:23.640 --> 05:28.910 This There's no right or wrong for doing this I'm just setting it up how things can look quite good. 05:28.920 --> 05:30.180 On the final render. 05:30.180 --> 05:31.440 And that's going to go out of shot. 05:31.440 --> 05:36.260 But that's fine because we can adjust and keep framing some new camera positions. 05:36.480 --> 05:41.900 As we go forward and obviously that's going to fly off the end of our scene they're brilliant. 05:42.090 --> 05:46.890 So we've got the first stage we got the first key frame all set up. 05:46.890 --> 05:49.710 We've got our starting position for the camera all set up. 05:49.770 --> 05:55.360 We'll just do a quick render again to make sure it's coming out how we want it to be perfect. 05:55.590 --> 05:56.100 That's great. 05:56.100 --> 06:01.980 If this render here is taking a very long time remember in the rendered options there are some settings 06:02.310 --> 06:03.800 that you'll need to do. 06:03.900 --> 06:10.410 And if I scroll down 64 by 64 well for a start I know that 16 by 16 is going to be slightly quicker. 06:10.440 --> 06:12.000 Now this is not going to be a fair test. 06:12.000 --> 06:17.650 We got two minutes twenty six if I render again like this is probably going to be very close to it. 06:18.220 --> 06:20.280 So you can longer track. 06:20.940 --> 06:25.020 But it's too close to call at those low levels anyway. 06:25.470 --> 06:29.120 So the other thing of course is scrolling up the samples. 06:29.120 --> 06:31.080 Here we've got the render sample set to 10. 06:31.110 --> 06:34.650 Now I suggest you do leave it down low at the moment. 06:34.650 --> 06:39.210 If you increase that massively and find there's a problem like we have that base problem if I hadn't 06:39.210 --> 06:40.970 rendered it there and missed that. 06:41.430 --> 06:44.460 Again being lean make sure you render it quickly. 06:44.670 --> 06:51.600 Well we're about to render 120 So 120 times three seconds is several minutes of waiting. 06:51.600 --> 06:58.800 However if we set that renova samples to one just for a test render and then hit there we can see it's 06:58.800 --> 07:06.150 very grainy but it's done very quickly and we go ahead and render out an animation like that which I 07:06.150 --> 07:11.790 don't want you to do just yet because it's not going to come out how we want it because we haven't set 07:11.790 --> 07:13.650 it up for exporting like that yet. 07:13.650 --> 07:15.220 We're just dealing with the camera. 07:15.750 --> 07:17.610 It will render very quickly anyway. 07:17.820 --> 07:22.710 And of course once you've got the animation right you can turn these rendering samples up as high as 07:22.710 --> 07:25.710 you'd like depending on how long you have to wait. 07:25.710 --> 07:31.640 The higher that is the better the image quality is going to be until you get diminishing returns. 07:31.840 --> 07:34.250 But anyway I've got a challenge for you guys. 07:35.540 --> 07:42.740 I would like you to set up an animate the camera to set up the camera so our lamp is in view the entire 07:42.740 --> 07:51.320 time alamy the camera to keep our lampin view as its jumping about and then have fun try different angles 07:51.620 --> 07:53.260 see what you come up with. 07:53.270 --> 07:57.950 I'd love to see your animations as well but we're not quite ready to export the animations. 07:57.950 --> 08:00.050 Hold on and we'll deal with that in the next lecture. 08:00.050 --> 08:03.910 But for now pause a video now and set up an animation that camera. 08:06.200 --> 08:06.890 Okay guys. 08:06.920 --> 08:07.810 Welcome back. 08:07.850 --> 08:09.810 Let's hop back on over into blender. 08:11.280 --> 08:15.710 OK so I need to hop straight on to my 3-d view once more. 08:17.670 --> 08:26.250 Now that we're here the camera needs to really be rotated upwards so we can see it's now at the lamp's 08:26.250 --> 08:28.670 highest point which is around there. 08:28.860 --> 08:31.650 I'm going to move the camera up. 08:33.960 --> 08:36.040 I actually I'm going to look up. 08:36.080 --> 08:39.070 So going to move the camera along so it's kind of following. 08:39.120 --> 08:40.970 And let's see if I rotate. 08:40.980 --> 08:44.170 I think it's X yet to look up. 08:45.220 --> 08:48.730 And I can even move the camera in ever so slightly. 08:49.840 --> 08:50.200 Brilliant. 08:50.200 --> 08:52.150 So let's just see how that looks. 08:52.150 --> 08:54.360 So the camera should follow us here. 08:57.240 --> 08:59.370 Now the base goes slightly out of shots. 08:59.370 --> 09:02.030 But am I happy with that. 09:02.430 --> 09:03.620 Yeah that's fine. 09:03.630 --> 09:09.290 And as it goes down to land obviously it's nowhere near our lamp and I would like to be looking back 09:09.300 --> 09:11.720 I've decided I want to look back on our lamp. 09:11.850 --> 09:20.190 So before it lands so I can see it lands about there before it lands I want my camera already in position 09:20.190 --> 09:25.380 so it's going to be around here that the camera needs to be there so I need to rotate it round to look 09:25.470 --> 09:27.380 down on our scene. 09:27.750 --> 09:33.560 And this is the X cordon I believe that's college towns let's move this in. 09:34.890 --> 09:37.010 And the camera down. 09:40.610 --> 09:45.980 So let's see how that looks as it swings around because the other thing we need to bear in mind is if 09:45.980 --> 09:48.870 we're animating the camera does it make sense. 09:49.160 --> 09:50.270 So look there. 09:50.270 --> 09:53.020 And then the Cambers being pulled round. 09:55.680 --> 09:59.830 Now I'd actually like it's had me looking down on the scene at this point. 10:00.160 --> 10:04.410 Part of the point of having this lamp is that it's shining a light on the floor. 10:05.360 --> 10:08.000 So at this point here we come to here. 10:08.150 --> 10:15.910 I want to be looking down silhouettes rotate the camera pull it down here and then lift it back up. 10:16.590 --> 10:19.970 So how does that feel as we pan across go across here. 10:21.690 --> 10:24.520 And then we go out for a wider shot. 10:26.450 --> 10:27.670 Perfect. 10:30.870 --> 10:35.840 So the final thing that I would do here's our just pull this camera perhaps a little bit further down 10:35.850 --> 10:40.550 even rotate it round rotate just a little bit more. 10:40.620 --> 10:45.300 That's a bit too much because I want to see the spots that this is doing. 10:45.300 --> 10:47.390 So let's just run through that from here. 10:47.390 --> 10:51.050 So comes around and. 10:52.390 --> 10:53.740 Pans out. 10:54.410 --> 10:55.820 Perfect. 10:56.870 --> 10:57.730 Excellent. 10:57.740 --> 10:59.580 How did you guys get on. 10:59.720 --> 11:03.920 And shortly you'll be here to share your animations with the rest of us. 11:03.920 --> 11:04.610 Take care. 11:04.610 --> 11:06.010 See you in the next lecture.
