WEBVTT 00:00.360 --> 00:03.970 Welcome to particle editing in this video. 00:03.980 --> 00:07.500 You'll be introduced to the part Cool Edit option. 00:07.500 --> 00:14.070 Learn how to edit the particle's style the hairs to make them flow in a more natural manner and learn 00:14.070 --> 00:17.660 how to reset the hairs back to their default state. 00:17.910 --> 00:20.750 So let's hop straight on over into blender. 00:24.130 --> 00:31.180 Okay so we have our fluffy bunny in front of us here with the new materials applied but we want to style 00:31.180 --> 00:36.020 this hair because at the moment it's just sticking straight out of the mesh underneath. 00:36.040 --> 00:43.570 Pretty much straight upwards like it was a series of normals coming out of our mesh so we need to style 00:43.570 --> 00:48.570 this and make it flow in the way that it would flow naturally with an animal. 00:48.580 --> 00:55.630 So with the objects selected in this case the rabbits that the particle system is attached to under 00:55.630 --> 01:00.940 where it says object mode here we can change the interaction to particle edit and it's got a picture 01:00.940 --> 01:01.950 of a comb. 01:02.350 --> 01:07.880 And if we click that the screen changes ever so slightly and we get this in front of us. 01:07.940 --> 01:12.690 Now I'm going to quickly on the properties window over here. 01:12.730 --> 01:18.540 Just click on be cool over here and we will see the moment. 01:18.550 --> 01:24.250 Well at the moment it's grey doubts but the moment that we actually do something we can in particle 01:24.250 --> 01:29.630 edit we cannot actually change anything that's over here anymore so we can't add more hairs. 01:29.800 --> 01:34.350 We can't change the hair length etc. The moment we start doing things at the moment if we hop back into 01:34.360 --> 01:39.670 object mode I can add more hairs I can remove hairs I can do lots of things still. 01:39.670 --> 01:45.640 However the moment we go to particle it changes to this and we can see we've got a couple of options 01:45.640 --> 01:46.800 over on the tool shelf. 01:46.790 --> 01:54.940 Here we have a series of brush types similar to how we've had them before with the sculpting that we 01:54.940 --> 01:56.020 did earlier. 01:56.020 --> 02:02.590 Now just like before if I there's no brush selected at the moment if I click on comb it has a radius 02:02.620 --> 02:05.040 and a strength just like it did before. 02:05.080 --> 02:09.690 And he used the same keys the F key to make the brush bigger and smaller. 02:09.970 --> 02:15.510 And you can use the shift in F key to change the strength of that brush. 02:16.550 --> 02:17.120 Right. 02:17.180 --> 02:19.060 And there are a series of options down here. 02:19.070 --> 02:22.780 Now when I click wait it will crash my system. 02:22.970 --> 02:24.900 So that's important to know. 02:25.010 --> 02:29.320 Your system may crash if you click on wait so don't click on it. 02:29.330 --> 02:35.270 If you're in the middle of something important to I believe it's to do with the number of particles 02:35.270 --> 02:38.480 that are currently on the scene itself. 02:38.570 --> 02:41.260 If I reduce the number of particles it doesn't seem to happen. 02:41.270 --> 02:47.640 But then of course I don't have a fluffy bunny I've got a very bold Bunny. 02:47.860 --> 02:52.730 So komer does exactly what it sounds like it's going to do something to reduce the radius again. 02:52.730 --> 02:59.300 And if I just left click and drag across our model we can see though I can start combing my model. 02:59.300 --> 03:00.730 Now the. 03:01.690 --> 03:05.300 Limit selection to visible talk or does work with this. 03:05.350 --> 03:08.330 So I've actually brushed the hair on the other side as well. 03:08.420 --> 03:13.250 But from this perspective so it's not quite Howard want it to be. 03:13.250 --> 03:18.810 Of course you can brush that down like this like it would be on a real rabbit. 03:18.940 --> 03:25.330 And you can spend a lot of time brushing your virtual rabbit or grooming a virtual rabbit to make it 03:25.330 --> 03:27.370 look better. 03:27.370 --> 03:31.340 And then of course I'm just going to add a note. 03:31.480 --> 03:33.610 Give it a Mohawk in the middle just there. 03:33.610 --> 03:35.230 There are loads of different options here. 03:35.230 --> 03:39.410 So we've got smooth which will smooth out the differences as you go through. 03:39.910 --> 03:46.390 Now that adds hairs and that's one of the reasons why now we can't add it over here. 03:46.390 --> 03:49.180 We can change the length so we can grow and shrink it. 03:49.180 --> 03:50.370 Very very powerful. 03:50.380 --> 03:54.120 But we going to use a different method of determining length. 03:54.130 --> 04:00.490 But you can certainly make some minor alterations here if you want puff will puff it out and cut will 04:00.490 --> 04:01.030 remove. 04:01.030 --> 04:05.100 Now a note about cuts and I'll do it now for you just to show you. 04:05.100 --> 04:08.740 It cuts hairs but it cuts hairs completely off. 04:08.740 --> 04:14.760 Now once you've cut them off Unfortunately there's no way of adding them back to where they were before. 04:14.860 --> 04:21.160 You'd have to add them back with the ADD brush which you can see straight away is going to take a lot 04:21.160 --> 04:23.200 longer to do then removing them. 04:23.200 --> 04:26.990 So use the cart with caution. 04:27.010 --> 04:29.620 That's why I'd say and I'm not going to click on weight. 04:29.650 --> 04:31.890 As I've said before it crashes blender. 04:31.990 --> 04:37.330 So I'm going to avoid clicking on that so be interesting to know and do Potin discussions if it also 04:37.330 --> 04:43.260 crashes on your system whether it's a little bug that I have or whether it's a general one. 04:43.570 --> 04:43.980 Okay. 04:43.990 --> 04:46.290 And obviously. 04:48.000 --> 04:54.930 And looking at the brush types with Cone there's no difference that's going to undo several times to 04:54.930 --> 04:56.550 see if I can get back to a hairy Bunny. 04:56.550 --> 05:02.640 There we go we have certain brush types like lenk for instance we can grow and shrink. 05:02.700 --> 05:08.670 So if you were thinking about removing some hairs perhaps you'd want to shrink them back and create 05:08.700 --> 05:13.020 more of a stubble I suppose then actually cutting them off. 05:13.170 --> 05:15.180 But that would depend on your application. 05:15.180 --> 05:21.150 And we're going to use slightly different methods for controlling our hair growth over our body as well. 05:21.150 --> 05:26.180 So we've got a bit more control than this arbitrary cutting back etc.. 05:26.550 --> 05:30.920 And if we look down there's something very interesting here that deflect emitter. 05:31.050 --> 05:37.890 So again I'm just going to undo my length changes that I had there and now that deflects amounts here 05:37.920 --> 05:43.900 the distance changes so I'm going to send it back to comb up here it changes the skin of our rabbit 05:43.920 --> 05:46.290 the actual underlying mash deflects. 05:46.290 --> 05:53.400 So if I set that to zero there's a good chance there's some point I will push a hair into the model 05:54.330 --> 05:56.540 and essentially create an ingrowing hair. 05:56.850 --> 06:03.930 But of course when that happens if we quickly switch to rendered mode I'm going to select this area 06:03.930 --> 06:06.420 here to render. 06:06.420 --> 06:08.730 And if I hop into rended mode here. 06:08.900 --> 06:14.780 Oh and that's another thing to tell you when you're in particle edit the render mode won't show anything 06:14.790 --> 06:17.060 you have to hop back out of that. 06:17.280 --> 06:21.790 And we see that with that will probably do various assuming it changes. 06:21.900 --> 06:24.640 It's got a bold patches there when we've brushed it. 06:24.780 --> 06:33.270 If we go back into particle edits and increase this amount to one point eight which is lots. 06:33.330 --> 06:41.160 Now when we brush over our model and we hop back on over into object mode we can see that the hairs 06:41.220 --> 06:44.730 are much better and you will have to keep going back and forth. 06:44.730 --> 06:49.510 I'm just going to draw a bigger render border here because that's a bit small. 06:49.890 --> 06:50.530 There we go. 06:50.700 --> 06:58.410 And remember this isn't the final render amount that is determined down here with the display number. 06:58.410 --> 07:05.390 So if I increase that's maybe 25 we'll get a better impression of the thickness and we can see it's 07:05.390 --> 07:13.200 being Kome go over there and if we hop back on over into particle it and we can't see it when it's like 07:13.200 --> 07:20.780 that so we need to hop into solid mode as well and we can comb about here we can puff the hair out. 07:20.940 --> 07:27.390 We can even add length to it if we want but we'll be doing a different method of controlling the length 07:27.450 --> 07:28.330 later on. 07:28.380 --> 07:33.330 However for mine the changes at the moment this would be a great way of making those little tweaks. 07:33.350 --> 07:39.300 Now of course when we hop back in surrendered mode and into objects he'll take a few seconds to do. 07:39.330 --> 07:46.590 And as you can see there I've actually made the hair quite long and brisley so I don't know what that's 07:46.590 --> 07:50.080 actually going to look like quite strange I should imagine. 07:51.470 --> 07:53.660 Yes very quickly. 07:54.020 --> 07:54.770 Great. 07:54.770 --> 08:00.020 Finally if you've ever done something and it's irreversible like cut all the hair off. 08:00.230 --> 08:07.300 Don't worry about it because in particle editing properties window over here towards the top there's 08:07.310 --> 08:09.170 a button that says Free edit. 08:09.170 --> 08:12.350 Now when you click on that it does say youre going to lose. 08:12.350 --> 08:18.320 The change is done in particle mode and that will reset it back to how it was before you started playing 08:18.320 --> 08:20.450 about and styling the hair. 08:20.870 --> 08:21.600 Okay guys. 08:21.600 --> 08:22.700 Its challenge time. 08:22.700 --> 08:29.070 I'd like you to style the bunny's hair so spend a few minutes trying out the different styling tools. 08:29.180 --> 08:30.690 Create a few styles. 08:30.710 --> 08:33.680 Now don't spend too long in the style at this time. 08:33.680 --> 08:36.130 For starters it's a prototype. 08:36.130 --> 08:42.080 Were nowhere near the finished model at the moment and also were likely to in a few moments have to 08:42.080 --> 08:43.950 reset it anyway. 08:44.270 --> 08:48.470 Now when you've done this when you've done new styles do share in the discussions I'd love to see the 08:48.470 --> 08:50.200 hairstyles that you've come up with. 08:50.210 --> 08:52.190 Perhaps you've given the rabbit aside partyin. 08:52.220 --> 08:53.150 Who knows. 08:53.150 --> 08:59.110 Also please share that in the discussion so pause a video now and go ahead and style the bunny's hair. 09:01.550 --> 09:02.290 Okay guys. 09:02.300 --> 09:03.530 Welcome back. 09:03.530 --> 09:06.160 Let's hop straight back over into blender. 09:07.620 --> 09:10.650 Okay so let's go ahead and style our bunny. 09:10.650 --> 09:15.240 So the first thing I'm going to do is just come out of rendered mode for the moment and hop into solid 09:15.240 --> 09:19.820 mode and I'm going to just clear that render border so there's less on the screen. 09:19.890 --> 09:23.890 Once I press the right key combination there we go. 09:23.910 --> 09:29.600 So now that we've got this here what I'm going to do is go over into particle edit. 09:29.670 --> 09:35.940 Now in general if you look and make sure the comb sighted and in general if you look at an animal most 09:35.940 --> 09:40.860 of the fur falls downwards with gravity so it's worthwhile remembering that. 09:41.000 --> 09:47.160 And what we can do here is with limited selection to visibility turned off and I can view it from the 09:47.170 --> 09:51.090 side it doesn't matter which side at this point. 09:51.150 --> 09:53.590 Well with the background it does. 09:53.600 --> 09:54.740 Well that can help us. 09:54.750 --> 09:59.940 But I would just turn the A pastie on the background image background image. 09:59.940 --> 10:00.640 Here we go. 10:00.870 --> 10:05.320 I'll just turn that down a little so I can see more of my model. 10:05.760 --> 10:07.370 Well let's have a look at the proper thing. 10:07.420 --> 10:10.680 So we've got a lot of hair going down here. 10:10.860 --> 10:16.050 When it comes down here and all the hair on their head does go backwards as well towards the ears and 10:16.140 --> 10:19.220 upwards and a little bit downwards here so we can use that. 10:19.220 --> 10:23.970 I'm just going to turn on and off rather than looking at it so we can pull our model down now. 10:24.110 --> 10:30.090 What's deflect deflect to me it is quite high at the moment sundermann Lower that back down to around 10:30.090 --> 10:31.300 point five. 10:31.320 --> 10:34.660 Otherwise I can't get the hair close to the body. 10:34.750 --> 10:41.410 I'm just going to pull it down now because I've got the limit selection so visibility turned off will 10:41.460 --> 10:42.870 go round the other side. 10:42.870 --> 10:45.770 It's combed it round in a symmetrical way. 10:45.780 --> 10:51.300 Now there is an X mirror here but it doesn't seem to work at this point in time. 10:51.870 --> 10:55.650 So now we've got that there that's do this bottom bit as well. 10:55.650 --> 11:01.320 Now bear in mind the bottom is not going to be seen as hot background to the side view. 11:01.350 --> 11:05.460 The left hand side and I'm going to have a look at the head. 11:05.580 --> 11:08.910 Now of course we want this hair all brushed back. 11:08.910 --> 11:12.460 And if you want to do some detail around the ice you can do. 11:12.840 --> 11:20.110 And then pull it down towards the neck just here so you can have a lot of fun playing with the Komen 11:20.130 --> 11:26.190 brushing in fact you probably spend a couple of hours on a more detailed model just getting the hair 11:26.250 --> 11:30.140 looking roughly right now V is for the moment. 11:30.240 --> 11:33.210 Well I don't want hair on the air so I could actually cut it off. 11:33.330 --> 11:38.370 But for humor's sake I'm just going to brush everything up so it's got spiky ears. 11:38.400 --> 11:40.550 Now of course we need to remember the middle of heads. 11:40.570 --> 11:44.680 It's got a mohawk going on at the back here. 11:44.680 --> 11:45.350 There we go. 11:45.420 --> 11:46.700 All combed back. 11:46.700 --> 11:47.970 We got a few stragglers there. 11:47.970 --> 11:51.090 Let's push those up and push those up as well. 11:51.090 --> 11:55.090 So we we've pretty much combed all of the hair on the bunny. 11:55.080 --> 12:00.430 Now that's part from the few little stragglers but that's absolutely fine. 12:00.450 --> 12:04.670 So let's go and have a look how it actually looks in rendered mode. 12:05.070 --> 12:05.940 Oh yes. 12:06.070 --> 12:10.620 We've got a pink bunny here that's obviously the skin colour at that point was still in particle. 12:10.690 --> 12:17.820 So that's out there and have a look at this model here that just kind of gives us a little inkling of 12:17.820 --> 12:20.680 where the problem areas may end up being. 12:20.750 --> 12:23.820 There's a few tufts coming out in random places. 12:24.000 --> 12:26.250 So let's pull that back fair. 12:26.310 --> 12:31.950 And there was a little bit around here that's brush that down and let's just have another look in object 12:31.950 --> 12:32.580 mode. 12:32.760 --> 12:35.880 Yeah that looks a bit better I don't mind a few tufts coming out. 12:35.970 --> 12:38.660 And let's go and render that now. 12:42.570 --> 12:43.280 Okay lovely. 12:43.280 --> 12:45.960 So that's got a quite nice shine to it. 12:45.960 --> 12:51.030 By the looks of things so we'll need to work on the materials later on for the hair because obviously 12:51.630 --> 12:59.180 that was a well conditioned Bunny by the looks of things and there are a few things here to sort out 12:59.190 --> 13:00.580 like round the eyes etc.. 13:00.600 --> 13:04.800 But we're going to do that in a slightly different way rather than just trimming the hair back etc. 13:04.800 --> 13:10.450 but that's a that's a pretty good first attempt at just brushing your hair back and seeing how it looks. 13:10.470 --> 13:16.260 Remember to share your bunny in the discussions I'd love to see the styles that you've put out and I 13:16.260 --> 13:18.550 will see you guys in the next lecture. 13:18.630 --> 13:19.420 Take care.
