WEBVTT 00:00.780 --> 00:04.600 Welcome to adding random nurse with children in this video. 00:04.600 --> 00:11.490 You'll adjust the particle settings to get a more realistic and less uniform hair appearance. 00:11.490 --> 00:14.410 So let's hop straight on over into blender. 00:15.500 --> 00:20.410 Okay so we have our bunny in front of us and I'm just going to switch across to the 3-d view. 00:20.600 --> 00:21.140 Okay. 00:21.140 --> 00:28.180 And let's focus on just one particular part of the bunny at the moment and let's focus on the body itself 00:28.190 --> 00:31.020 so I'm going to turn the other particle systems off. 00:31.160 --> 00:33.680 So it's nice and quick to move around. 00:33.710 --> 00:40.020 Now at the moment our bunny has a very uniform look to it looks very shiny very sleek. 00:40.070 --> 00:44.160 Now tear tends to be quite uniform when it's shorts. 00:44.170 --> 00:47.530 But you still have these stragglers roaming about. 00:47.600 --> 00:50.340 But you can also have tuft's. 00:50.360 --> 00:54.100 I mean hair isn't going to be completely regular as if it has been combed. 00:54.290 --> 00:56.300 Especially on a wild animal. 00:56.330 --> 00:59.630 So we're going to have to add a bit of randomness into that. 00:59.660 --> 01:07.560 So on the part cool properties over here we've got a selection of options under our children. 01:07.610 --> 01:14.560 So moving further down from our display and our renda Settings here the seeds etc.. 01:14.620 --> 01:15.200 Long hair. 01:15.200 --> 01:17.590 Well we're not gonna use that because it is relatively short here. 01:17.600 --> 01:19.550 But you would use that option if you approve it. 01:19.730 --> 01:27.260 Perhaps making a lady and you wanted long hair you know going down to the waist line rather than a short 01:27.290 --> 01:28.410 bob or something like that. 01:28.410 --> 01:31.980 Anyway back to this here so klump. 01:32.000 --> 01:36.450 Now this goes from minus 1 to 1. 01:36.530 --> 01:41.930 And when it's set to minus one that means it will clump together at the root. 01:41.930 --> 01:49.460 And in this case it will mean the children clump together round the parent close to the skin and then 01:49.460 --> 01:56.390 radiate out from there when it's set to one it's the other way round it starts further away in clumps 01:56.390 --> 01:59.330 together at the tip of the hairs. 01:59.330 --> 02:04.930 Now this doesn't seem to be working at the moment so let me investigate why it's not working. 02:04.940 --> 02:08.190 Have I come across a bug or have I forgotten something. 02:08.570 --> 02:13.710 Okay so I've just worked out what was going on there why those settings weren't changing for me. 02:13.710 --> 02:18.110 That's just simply because I had the wrong particle system selected here. 02:18.110 --> 02:23.030 So even though the body hair was being viewed I had actually Selecta chest hair. 02:23.060 --> 02:28.940 I've made some changes as I was feeling about so I'm just going to open up the saved file I'd made and 02:28.940 --> 02:33.360 I do suggest at all times you keep a regular save going on. 02:33.590 --> 02:37.260 Let's go back to where we were before now with body hair here. 02:37.280 --> 02:39.790 That's a good learning for us all. 02:39.800 --> 02:47.120 So let's have a look at our bunny and let's let's hide the properties and tool shelf so we can see more 02:47.120 --> 02:48.400 of our lovely body. 02:48.620 --> 02:56.540 Okay so we were talking about the clump of the clump value at negative one clump sit at the base and 02:56.630 --> 02:59.480 at positive one clumps at the end. 02:59.480 --> 03:05.030 Now that I mean that looks a bit silly but might be good for grasses because they tend to clump together 03:05.030 --> 03:08.710 at their roots and then come out from there. 03:08.870 --> 03:16.250 And if you had a wet rabbit it would probably have a clump value of one as hairs do tend to clump together 03:16.250 --> 03:17.190 when they're wet. 03:17.250 --> 03:18.350 And I'm going to render that. 03:18.370 --> 03:23.540 So I want to see if it does in fact look like our bunnies gotten a little soggy. 03:23.570 --> 03:27.030 It does indeed it looks either wet or greasy. 03:27.260 --> 03:30.950 Okay so let's hop background to the 3-d view. 03:31.160 --> 03:35.990 And we probably don't want it clumping together too much but since hairs clumped together naturally 03:36.290 --> 03:42.700 having a little bit of clump does add to this sort of realism of our model. 03:42.710 --> 03:48.450 So looking at the length here well if we set it down to zero it makes them all very short. 03:48.470 --> 03:57.380 And the threshold under neefe Simply tells blender the percentage of hairs that are at this lower value. 03:57.380 --> 03:58.190 So that's good. 03:58.220 --> 04:05.820 If you've got a lot more hairs in here for making sure you've got a variation in hair length. 04:05.900 --> 04:11.720 So if I reduce that ever so slightly and then have the threshold not all the way down here. 04:11.750 --> 04:17.300 Not all the way at the top but somewhere in the middle we get a nice compromise so let's have a short 04:17.300 --> 04:22.310 length and the threshold of ones that like fat quite high. 04:22.350 --> 04:22.770 There. 04:22.940 --> 04:28.070 So partings not going to give us too much of a difference in our model but we can see it does make a 04:28.070 --> 04:31.090 slight difference to the hair itself. 04:31.550 --> 04:33.230 Now uniform the roughness. 04:33.230 --> 04:35.300 These are all roughness settings here. 04:35.360 --> 04:39.730 So we've got the uniform ness of it and it's currently set to zero. 04:39.740 --> 04:46.730 And if we play with extremes here so we just slide that up gradually to one you can see it gets increasingly 04:47.060 --> 04:52.510 more and more scruffy until it goes over one and carries on going. 04:52.520 --> 04:54.940 And that's a very very fluffy bunny. 04:54.950 --> 05:01.240 So this is basically telling blender how disorganized is going to become the size here. 05:01.250 --> 05:06.950 As you can see causes a few ripple effects and gives us the size of the disorder. 05:06.950 --> 05:14.820 So if you imagine the hairs themselves if you had a metre long hair and the size was high it would. 05:15.040 --> 05:15.880 Be disordered. 05:15.880 --> 05:20.000 But it would ripple in a very long ripple. 05:20.140 --> 05:26.230 But if you pull the size back down it causes this disturbance it looks like a ripple at the moment doesn't 05:26.230 --> 05:30.460 it as it's going down but it causes more and more and more kinks in the hair. 05:30.520 --> 05:33.070 It ends up a very scruffy Bunny. 05:33.070 --> 05:39.070 So we render it out whilst it's looking like that it's going to look not like it did before it's actually 05:39.070 --> 05:43.530 going to look like a very rough matted hair as we can see here. 05:43.660 --> 05:47.710 And in fact it does look more matted than the head does. 05:47.710 --> 05:50.950 So we can use that to our advantage as well. 05:50.950 --> 05:54.590 In this case that looks again is gone too far. 05:54.670 --> 05:59.130 I don't think a rabbit would ever have hair that looks like a bristle brush. 05:59.140 --> 06:02.250 So again let's go back to the 3-d VIEW. 06:02.290 --> 06:05.580 We're going to set the uniform here. 06:05.580 --> 06:11.350 I'm going to play with these figures just a little bit and probably make it just a little bit fuzzy 06:11.380 --> 06:12.700 but not much. 06:12.790 --> 06:21.910 Now the end point that changes how the end of the hair the very end of the hair itself is actually being 06:21.910 --> 06:22.700 roughed up. 06:22.750 --> 06:25.850 So it changes the direction of those very end hairs. 06:25.870 --> 06:29.200 So we look towards the end of hairs and I move this. 06:29.200 --> 06:33.410 It deviates them around and you see because there's a lot of children there. 06:33.550 --> 06:35.380 It tends to move everything around at once. 06:35.380 --> 06:40.360 So we've got to be careful about not creating escorts of a wave pattern going on. 06:40.370 --> 06:41.650 Plus we certainly don't want that. 06:41.650 --> 06:44.980 But having a little point there does change it. 06:45.010 --> 06:53.710 How the shape itself determines where on the hair that it starts are actually changing so at zero it's 06:53.710 --> 06:55.740 going to start changing at the base. 06:55.900 --> 06:58.840 And we can see there it's moving the whole hair about. 06:59.230 --> 07:06.340 And if we increase that up is going to change the very very ends of the hairs instead which gives them 07:06.580 --> 07:09.290 again a much more realistic appearance random. 07:09.290 --> 07:13.090 Now this as you can probably guess adds randomness to our model. 07:13.180 --> 07:17.560 The higher we increase the randomness the more scruffy our model will get. 07:17.770 --> 07:20.360 And then we've got to size value. 07:20.500 --> 07:28.720 So if we change the size value that changes how does the same the size on the uniform it changes how 07:28.720 --> 07:34.960 much randomness is across the whole hair so the larger sizes the more the randomness is spread over 07:34.960 --> 07:37.810 the hair rather than lots of little changes in the hair. 07:37.810 --> 07:42.390 So if we change the size all the way down we can see it becomes very very disordered. 07:42.400 --> 07:47.100 However if we change it up it comes more and more back into being uniform. 07:47.320 --> 07:53.140 And of course we want probably a little bit of that in our model as well. 07:53.180 --> 07:59.230 And the threshold of course very similar to the threshold with the length when it's at 100 percent here 07:59.230 --> 08:08.170 or 1 then none of the hairs none of the particles are left untouched by the random rough amount. 08:08.170 --> 08:13.240 But if we decrease that's more and more particles or more and more hairs. 08:13.240 --> 08:15.990 In this case become randomized. 08:16.060 --> 08:21.260 So let's just have a quick look in the rendered image how our bunny is looking. 08:23.200 --> 08:26.190 So it's certainly looking a little more rough around there. 08:26.200 --> 08:29.140 But I do want it to be a little more fluffy. 08:29.140 --> 08:35.710 So we're going to have to experiment with here so I think I need to up the end point disorder and that 08:35.980 --> 08:39.600 set that value perhaps at one and this one at point two. 08:40.320 --> 08:41.980 All that might be a bit fluffy. 08:42.020 --> 08:43.520 So said it appoint one. 08:43.640 --> 08:45.630 And let's go and render again. 08:45.890 --> 08:50.290 Doing this over and over again it's not a bad thing you're going to have to have a look. 08:50.390 --> 08:56.180 And the reason why I'm going straight for the rendered mode rather than viewing it in the viewport is 08:56.180 --> 09:00.450 because if I view it in the viewport I'm not seeing all of the hairs involved. 09:00.560 --> 09:06.710 And we still have this bald patch on our bunny just here so I'm going to go ahead and investigate that 09:06.710 --> 09:08.960 now and see what's going on. 09:09.440 --> 09:14.030 So we're looking at it from here and I can see straightaway that there is a lack of hair around there. 09:14.040 --> 09:19.760 Couple of options that we can do with that because I don't want to have to restyle the bunny just yet. 09:19.760 --> 09:26.910 Let's just see if it's a virtex issue so let's go in select the body. 09:27.020 --> 09:28.180 That's what we're doing. 09:28.400 --> 09:29.830 So we've got that selected. 09:29.840 --> 09:35.550 And let's go into white paint and just add I've assuming I've got ADD turned on. 09:35.570 --> 09:36.600 Yes. 09:36.850 --> 09:42.220 And I'm just going to go in here and add more hair to this area. 09:42.500 --> 09:45.570 It just in case that's not enough. 09:46.930 --> 09:50.460 And see if that covers up half poor rabbits bold spots. 09:51.520 --> 09:53.570 So let's go back to work. 09:53.580 --> 09:58.690 We can just render it now and see if that solve the issue if it hasn't we might have to change some 09:58.690 --> 10:04.340 of the options perhaps just increasing the number of children ever so slightly so that's still not covered. 10:04.420 --> 10:05.560 That area there. 10:05.560 --> 10:11.470 So let's go into the particle options and can we increase the number of children we can I'm going to 10:11.470 --> 10:17.500 try going up to 150 on the final render and seeing if that makes a difference. 10:17.530 --> 10:18.670 So I'm not liking this bald patch. 10:18.670 --> 10:24.430 I thought it would be relatively straightforward to cover it up but it doesn't look like it's being 10:24.430 --> 10:25.650 relatively straightforward. 10:25.660 --> 10:29.390 So this here is getting better now. 10:29.420 --> 10:35.020 However I think the issue may be that the hairs are actually pressed to fight against the rabbitskin 10:35.320 --> 10:38.760 possibly even an Engro or it looks very rough there as well. 10:38.890 --> 10:43.270 So let's see if we can go in and particle it. 10:43.660 --> 10:49.640 Oh we don't want it at length some risks to undo that let's go and comb it and just move it back a little. 10:49.870 --> 10:56.080 That seems to be a quite had a lack here of parents. 10:56.140 --> 10:57.930 This part of our model. 10:57.970 --> 11:03.220 So one of the other things that we can do just to help us with covering up this bald spot in general 11:03.220 --> 11:09.220 seeing a better impression about what's going on if we look over on the tool shelf with the tools tab 11:09.220 --> 11:12.390 selected scroll down we will see children. 11:12.400 --> 11:16.870 And if we put a tick in that we can see how the particles are actually looking in this case the hairs 11:17.110 --> 11:20.820 including the children which is very very useful. 11:20.830 --> 11:29.440 So I'm going to try playing with the seed of children just a little and see if that sorts out are boldness 11:29.440 --> 11:32.890 problem that indeed looks much better. 11:32.890 --> 11:33.680 Brilliant. 11:34.000 --> 11:35.760 Okay guys it's Challenge time. 11:35.760 --> 11:38.520 Id like you to alter the remaining particle groups. 11:38.620 --> 11:41.860 So add some further styling to the rest of the bunny. 11:41.860 --> 11:47.590 So make some of the other hair on my head perhaps make it a little bit more frizzy etc.. 11:47.680 --> 11:49.810 It's up to you how you do that of course. 11:49.810 --> 11:53.940 Now make the chest hair and whiskers a different colour. 11:53.950 --> 12:01.500 Now I suggest white in this case when you render it you may find it comes out a little grey. 12:01.510 --> 12:03.040 Don't worry about that. 12:03.040 --> 12:06.760 We'll sort out the colouring in a later lecture. 12:07.020 --> 12:08.980 And finally a little hint for you. 12:08.980 --> 12:15.570 You will need to create another couple of materials underneath the rabbits or bunny mesh. 12:16.260 --> 12:18.650 Pause video now and give that a go. 12:21.080 --> 12:21.700 Okay guys. 12:21.710 --> 12:22.670 Welcome back. 12:22.670 --> 12:25.220 Let's hop straight back over into blender. 12:25.610 --> 12:29.650 Right so the first thing I'm going to do here is just create the materials. 12:29.660 --> 12:31.850 So we need two materials. 12:32.030 --> 12:39.110 I'm going to click this one here and actually select brown fur for both of them. 12:39.110 --> 12:43.310 Now there currently there's three uses of brown fur which you can see one two three. 12:43.340 --> 12:48.960 Now I want to make them unique users so I'm going to click that three and now that three becomes a two. 12:49.340 --> 12:59.240 And I'm going to call that white fluff and I'm going to call this one here whiskers in case the whiskers. 12:59.300 --> 13:06.160 We decide to do something else with later Ron and we go in to set the colour to white. 13:06.170 --> 13:11.610 You can do that quite easily by the way with the hue saturation and value of hue and saturation as nothing. 13:11.720 --> 13:16.730 And the value as one that would be pure white and I'm going to do the same with the white fluff here 13:16.760 --> 13:19.610 arguably I should have made one of them white and then copied that one. 13:19.610 --> 13:21.330 But there we go that's done. 13:21.650 --> 13:29.780 So we need to assign those materials to the appropriate particle systems of the chest down here on render. 13:29.780 --> 13:34.750 We're going to select white fluff and the whiskers we're going to select whiskers. 13:34.790 --> 13:36.860 Perfect So that's all those set up. 13:36.860 --> 13:39.630 Let's have a quick look how that is looking. 13:39.920 --> 13:40.490 Oh dear. 13:40.490 --> 13:46.490 One day I will hop into the right mode you can't render in particle edit mode it doesn't show us our 13:47.120 --> 13:48.430 hairs properly. 13:48.470 --> 13:50.300 So let's see how that's going to come out. 13:50.360 --> 13:56.450 Probably find that they will come out a dark grey which they have done that's not a problem at all we 13:56.450 --> 14:02.720 can sort that out in a bit um just want them to be a different colour at the moment perhaps a little 14:02.720 --> 14:03.180 long. 14:03.170 --> 14:09.380 I will make them shorter so chest it looks like I've edited them at some point. 14:09.500 --> 14:11.750 Let's go into 3D view here. 14:11.900 --> 14:16.040 Oh they're hidden So let's turn them all on so we can see what's happening. 14:16.400 --> 14:20.290 So let's see if we can fluff out this chest area. 14:20.420 --> 14:22.090 Let's try less hairs. 14:22.100 --> 14:28.350 Let's try 400 hairs with a length of point to five. 14:28.610 --> 14:32.750 And let's just try actually fluffing them out. 14:32.750 --> 14:41.240 So if I come down here and uniform point one a bit of randomness in there as well and the end points 14:41.240 --> 14:43.790 let's make the points a bit scruffy. 14:43.790 --> 14:48.420 So that does look a lot more fluffy and I'm happy leaving it like that for the moment. 14:48.680 --> 14:50.880 And the threshold of randomness. 14:50.880 --> 14:55.880 Well let's not make everything random about 40 percent they'll be absolutely fine. 14:55.880 --> 14:57.910 Okay so that's those bits. 14:57.910 --> 15:03.230 They're done let's make the head go up here and again you can spend as much or as little time on this 15:03.290 --> 15:04.190 as you'd like. 15:04.200 --> 15:11.150 I'd like the head to be relatively smooth so I'm going to add in a randomness value of one I want it 15:11.150 --> 15:12.340 to be totally random. 15:12.350 --> 15:19.550 No I want to increase the threshold now so that some of the hairs are completely maybe random of one 15:19.550 --> 15:24.470 is a little too much that's just adjust the size here. 15:26.420 --> 15:32.990 Let's turn the random value down as where a lot of this is a bit of playing as well. 15:33.150 --> 15:41.810 So the larger the size the better it's going to look over ride and there's a still a bit scruffy that's 15:41.810 --> 15:49.550 lower the randomness have the ranton was quite low and the size one that's looking pretty good may have 15:49.550 --> 15:50.510 to read brush. 15:50.510 --> 15:55.820 If I make it to random because you can end up starting to see through your model. 15:56.090 --> 15:59.080 And let's add a few more parents. 15:59.210 --> 16:04.100 I don't know why I just feel like any more parents now we're going to have to go to free edit at this 16:04.100 --> 16:10.950 point and just top that up a little Thousands are going to be too many maybe 15 hundred. 16:10.970 --> 16:18.070 So occasionally you will have to do this back into particle edit and basically brush your rabbit again. 16:18.110 --> 16:23.210 And of course taking the brush around the eyes down here. 16:23.540 --> 16:24.900 Pull that back. 16:24.920 --> 16:27.580 Pull this down here onto the body. 16:27.590 --> 16:34.520 Now depending on how much time you spend doing this will change how your rabbit looks quite significantly 16:34.520 --> 16:40.500 actually because it alters everything it alters the whole feel of your rabbit. 16:40.640 --> 16:44.200 So I'm just here making the hairs go round. 16:44.280 --> 16:49.430 Now you'll notice that when you're brushing you sometimes have to pull around lots because it brushes 16:49.430 --> 16:52.190 relative to where you're viewing from. 16:52.460 --> 16:55.640 Not necessarily where you think it's going. 16:56.090 --> 17:00.620 So if I'm not careful just brushing straight up the rabbit's head here we'll end up with a queef. 17:00.620 --> 17:02.000 But that looks good to me. 17:02.000 --> 17:03.920 Let's see how that renders. 17:04.430 --> 17:05.700 Oh dear I've done it again. 17:05.900 --> 17:08.910 Let's hop into object mode and render that out. 17:12.940 --> 17:17.820 Okay I'm liking the look of that we've got our collard Wisconsin that we can't see at the moment obviously 17:17.820 --> 17:23.730 because there's a background there and looking at the there's a nice sheen to the ears themselves. 17:23.730 --> 17:26.460 The rabbit's head is fluffy enough that's great. 17:26.460 --> 17:28.870 This is all looking really good so far. 17:28.920 --> 17:30.420 How are you guys getting on. 17:30.420 --> 17:32.610 I'd love to see how your rabbit is coming along. 17:32.610 --> 17:37.450 Please share in the discussions and I will see you guys in the next lecture.
