WEBVTT 00:01.060 --> 00:04.360 Welcome to testing the grass in this video. 00:04.360 --> 00:07.190 You will name your new texture layer. 00:07.360 --> 00:11.930 You'll turn back on the camera and lighting and the grass layer as well. 00:14.370 --> 00:20.400 Right so the first thing I'm going to do is actually get rid of the node editor for the moment because 00:20.400 --> 00:23.420 it's taking up a vast proportion of my screen. 00:23.420 --> 00:31.140 So Scott the 3D view on here and I'm on Lay 5 at the moment looking down here on the head a bar and 00:31.140 --> 00:37.410 I want to bring back my tall shelf I'm going to hide my propertys panel and then go to my layer's tab 00:37.470 --> 00:42.000 which we added on earlier and let's have a look at what we need. 00:42.120 --> 00:50.940 So I'm going to name this texture's or even more precise the grass textures. 00:52.500 --> 00:54.300 And it's on its gogreen tick next to it. 00:54.300 --> 00:54.830 Brilliant. 00:55.700 --> 00:56.960 Let's do the. 00:57.630 --> 00:58.590 Cameron lighting. 00:58.590 --> 00:59.110 Turn that on. 00:59.130 --> 01:00.860 And the grass as well. 01:01.880 --> 01:02.810 Brilliant. 01:02.810 --> 01:05.120 So now we've got all of those things on. 01:06.460 --> 01:07.830 You never guess what. 01:08.110 --> 01:09.900 OKAY GUYS IT'S challenge time. 01:09.900 --> 01:16.270 I'd like you to test render the grass so rotate your grass around its origins how it's pointing towards 01:16.330 --> 01:20.880 the sky the way the grass naturally grows and group the blades close together. 01:20.930 --> 01:26.110 At the moment they're quite spread out and spread them out a little on the x and y axis to give them 01:26.110 --> 01:27.570 some depth. 01:27.580 --> 01:31.600 Then finally do a test render and see how it looks. 01:31.600 --> 01:34.080 It won't be amazing at this stage. 01:34.090 --> 01:37.490 Oh and remember to set up a camera as well. 01:37.780 --> 01:40.350 Suppose a video now and give that a go. 01:42.370 --> 01:43.830 Okay guys welcome back. 01:43.990 --> 01:47.280 Let's go and render out this grass and see how it's looking. 01:47.620 --> 01:49.960 Okay guys welcome back into blender. 01:50.000 --> 01:57.340 What we need to do first of all is grab some of these blades of grass and make sure I'm moved one about 01:57.340 --> 01:59.110 earlier I think it was this one. 01:59.110 --> 02:04.840 If you've done that as well you will want to make sure to get rid of the tool shelf that the Z coordinate 02:04.840 --> 02:12.860 is zero because we moved our regions earlier but didn't do I mean that one about anyway so I'm going 02:12.860 --> 02:14.010 to rotate it around. 02:14.050 --> 02:17.810 At the moment the best way to rotate it round is on the x axis. 02:17.980 --> 02:25.780 So I'm simply in the tall shelf here going to go x 90 and I'm going to do that to everything else as 02:25.810 --> 02:26.890 well so x. 02:26.900 --> 02:28.620 They're 90. 02:28.950 --> 02:30.820 Oh I selected the plane itself. 02:30.820 --> 02:34.060 Let's just try selecting the right thing. 02:34.370 --> 02:35.990 Ninety. 02:36.130 --> 02:36.930 Okay. 02:37.060 --> 02:39.840 That's all a I've picked the wrong thing. 02:39.850 --> 02:41.050 And that one's not. 02:41.080 --> 02:45.550 I've not moved the origin for that one yet so we'll go back and do that one last. 02:45.610 --> 02:49.930 Let's change this one X 90 and the final one in the distance. 02:49.930 --> 02:51.110 I nailed it. 02:51.110 --> 02:52.630 They're brilliant. 02:52.630 --> 02:53.860 So those are all there. 02:53.860 --> 03:00.730 Let's go into this image here and move the origin so I'm going to pull it out of the ground initially 03:00.730 --> 03:02.320 so can see what's going on. 03:02.600 --> 03:05.650 That's There is the bottom. 03:05.740 --> 03:10.060 That's just make sure it's right at the bottom on the tall shelf. 03:10.060 --> 03:17.070 I'm going to go tools set origin to the 3-d cursor brilliance that's now done. 03:17.260 --> 03:19.210 I'm going to get rid of the tool shelf. 03:19.480 --> 03:21.750 I'm going to lower the origin. 03:21.760 --> 03:23.640 Essentially that's what were moving here. 03:23.770 --> 03:24.840 Down to zero. 03:24.850 --> 03:32.540 And rotate it's on the x axis by all not moving they're rotated by 90. 03:32.840 --> 03:36.460 Okay so we've got our blades of grass here and I want to render them out. 03:36.460 --> 03:40.600 So the first thing I'm going to do is put them a bit closer to one another. 03:40.810 --> 03:44.470 And I'm going to be a bit adventurous and scale this one up. 03:44.620 --> 03:46.460 This one up even more. 03:46.810 --> 03:49.790 And that one can stay the same size as well. 03:49.980 --> 03:52.880 But I'm going to put them on a scale up just a little. 03:53.060 --> 03:58.270 And Gollum put them rather close to one another so we can see how they're going to render. 03:58.270 --> 04:04.390 In fact I'm going to give them a bit of depth both ways as well just to make it a little bit more exciting 04:05.020 --> 04:08.260 although it's not going to be a great render anyway at this stage. 04:08.530 --> 04:10.930 Now I'm going to have to set up a camera. 04:10.930 --> 04:16.300 I'm pretty sure that none of them at the moment are looking at what's I want to look at. 04:16.300 --> 04:20.020 So I'm going to grab the camera I set up earlier to do exactly that. 04:20.020 --> 04:20.470 We shall see. 04:20.500 --> 04:21.890 I can. 04:22.060 --> 04:24.420 It is the current camera I believe. 04:24.430 --> 04:29.870 But if not we'll just make sure it is a science a good asset the active object as the camera. 04:30.130 --> 04:34.480 And on the propertys mania another lock the camera to view. 04:34.480 --> 04:36.400 So I can move it about now. 04:36.430 --> 04:40.810 This is looking like it's a silly amounts of zoom on it. 04:40.810 --> 04:41.910 I'm not sure. 04:42.120 --> 04:44.790 No it's because I'm zoomed all the way out here. 04:44.830 --> 04:50.170 Now if I lock should be a bit easier to control I'm going to make my view bigger as normal. 04:50.170 --> 04:52.310 You probably won't have to do this. 04:52.480 --> 04:57.140 I'm just doing it because I can't see what's going on otherwise. 04:57.160 --> 04:59.030 And let's zoom in here. 04:59.030 --> 05:01.510 It's position the camera come back out again. 05:01.510 --> 05:06.720 See how it looks when we got rendered mode on and we can see some shadows coming off there. 05:06.730 --> 05:12.610 Now something is incredibly bright in our scene and it's probably one of the lights. 05:12.610 --> 05:17.020 So let's go and see how that's turning out really really bright. 05:17.110 --> 05:22.300 I've got my lamp here my sunlamp set up to an intensity of 11. 05:22.300 --> 05:23.970 Let's lower that down. 05:24.100 --> 05:30.380 That's much better and we can move around now obviously because they're a flat image of we go side on. 05:30.520 --> 05:33.110 That's not going to be a very exciting render. 05:33.760 --> 05:36.240 But let's go to about there. 05:36.250 --> 05:38.150 Try and get everything in shots. 05:38.380 --> 05:39.190 Excellent. 05:39.190 --> 05:43.410 I'm going to go to my render tab here and just make sure my settings are set up. 05:43.420 --> 05:50.880 I'm happy with 50 percent of 10 80 P on the dimensions. 05:51.140 --> 05:53.170 Scroll down and look at the samples. 05:53.170 --> 05:56.830 Now my render is set at 100 that's going to be a bit too high for a test render. 05:57.040 --> 05:59.310 So I'm going to lower it down to 25. 05:59.350 --> 06:03.620 In fact that might be too high later on when our scene gets more complicated. 06:03.700 --> 06:06.650 And let's scroll down a little further. 06:07.690 --> 06:13.680 And yet I've got my tile size optimal because I'm using my s.p. you. 06:13.700 --> 06:22.480 Let's just make sure that the world for some reason I have lost Yes I've lost my Sky box that we created 06:22.480 --> 06:22.800 ervice. 06:22.810 --> 06:29.920 I'm just going to add that in really quick so environment texture there a lovely pink environment at 06:29.920 --> 06:30.760 the moment. 06:30.760 --> 06:37.630 I'm going to use a Mirrorball and I'm going to go ahead and open up it's one of these angular maps that 06:37.630 --> 06:38.970 I was using previously. 06:38.980 --> 06:42.300 I think it was the one of the sun angular mapped well. 06:43.460 --> 06:44.860 Open that image. 06:45.230 --> 06:47.020 That looks much better. 06:47.030 --> 06:50.900 In fact we can then have some sky and it is well perfect. 06:50.900 --> 06:52.310 How did you guys get on. 06:52.310 --> 06:57.290 I'm going to render my image out now and I'm going to post mine in discussions because that looks like 06:57.290 --> 07:00.100 some pretty good grass in a wasteland of white. 07:00.110 --> 07:01.680 We'll need to sort that out. 07:01.700 --> 07:06.990 Post your grass in the discussions and I will see you guys in the next lecture.
