WEBVTT 00:02.630 --> 00:03.260 Hi guys. 00:03.260 --> 00:04.310 Welcome to the game. 00:04.340 --> 00:05.250 Asset packed. 00:05.390 --> 00:11.370 Now in this section we are going to be mainly focussed on interior modelling and also focussing on a 00:11.390 --> 00:13.760 level of detail and baking. 00:13.770 --> 00:15.850 So what is all that's about then. 00:16.100 --> 00:18.210 Well let's take one of the time level of detail. 00:18.350 --> 00:25.100 So the idea with level of detail is that your models need to be created not just as a single high detail 00:25.100 --> 00:31.070 model for purposes of a saving your bacon which we'll talk about in a minute and be making sure that 00:31.070 --> 00:35.200 in the game engine the models are provided at various different levels of detail. 00:35.240 --> 00:35.600 Yes. 00:35.600 --> 00:41.090 So the thing can perform properly at a long distance you don't want to can't have 1000 million polygons 00:41.090 --> 00:43.090 on it it wants to be a very simple little block. 00:43.200 --> 00:43.690 Yes. 00:43.760 --> 00:44.110 Yeah. 00:44.120 --> 00:47.300 So as the model moves further away you can afford to have less detail. 00:47.390 --> 00:49.310 And then the computer can spend less time rendering it. 00:49.310 --> 00:51.100 So that's the idea of level of detail. 00:51.240 --> 00:57.400 Yeah baking We'll said all about like baking is where you've you've worked your way up to a high polygon 00:57.410 --> 01:00.470 model and you've got all of this detail in the geometry. 01:00.500 --> 01:05.510 Well some of that detail doesn't actually need to be geometry we can bake it solidify it as an image 01:05.510 --> 01:11.480 has a texture and then apply it to a plain surface and make that plain surface look like it's got incredible 01:11.480 --> 01:12.430 detail on it. 01:12.440 --> 01:18.110 It's a wonderful tool and again is optimized not only for game performance but in blend itself it improves 01:18.110 --> 01:19.180 the render times. 01:19.880 --> 01:20.240 Wonderful. 01:20.240 --> 01:23.320 So these are really useful tools even if you stay inside them. 01:23.360 --> 01:27.050 If you go outside a blender is going to be even more valuable because when you're in a real time environment 01:27.200 --> 01:29.320 both of these things are super vital. 01:29.780 --> 01:31.940 So how's the section laid out Mike. 01:31.950 --> 01:35.180 What are they going to do in terms of building these models are they going to start with a high detail 01:35.180 --> 01:41.390 model and then go down although it is quite easy for you guys to hop in and we'll go into this much 01:41.510 --> 01:46.760 deeper to really focus on these high detail model and that can take hours and hours of work. 01:46.760 --> 01:51.470 What's more important like we've done in all the other sections is to have a place holder in place so 01:51.470 --> 01:57.680 the right size dimensions and overall shape and then build upon that detail and we'll be really focussing 01:57.680 --> 02:02.020 on that making sure it's very much a lean process and not wasting time. 02:02.030 --> 02:06.140 So I said earlier that is going to save your bacon if we think about level of detail the reason is this 02:06.380 --> 02:10.400 you're being contracted by a client to make something say it's a chair or so for whatever let's say 02:10.400 --> 02:12.880 a sofa and they ask you to make a sofa. 02:13.010 --> 02:17.030 If you make a high high poly model of that sofa and show it to them and they don't like it you've just 02:17.030 --> 02:19.460 wasted days weeks who knows. 02:19.580 --> 02:22.270 So you do get a simple place holder for a sofa takes minutes. 02:22.310 --> 02:22.790 Yes. 02:22.790 --> 02:28.360 To get the next level of detail up a little bit more could take tens of minutes maybe now and take the 02:28.380 --> 02:32.960 next level of detail could take days and then maybe weeks to really finish it off right. 02:32.960 --> 02:36.230 So what we want you to do is be sure that the thing is going to be used. 02:36.440 --> 02:43.510 So we want you to provide your client whoever that might be with a model that is low in simple detail. 02:43.510 --> 02:44.240 Get their feedback. 02:44.240 --> 02:44.620 Yes. 02:44.630 --> 02:45.700 Then spend more time. 02:45.800 --> 02:49.850 And then if there is ways to minimize that waste we don't want wasted time. 02:49.850 --> 02:52.200 We've already got enough time waiting for things to render. 02:52.200 --> 02:54.140 I don't want to waste time modelling as well. 02:54.440 --> 03:00.440 So this part of the Course is currently early access and what that means is it is subject to change 03:00.470 --> 03:04.010 and we very highly value your guy's feedback. 03:04.690 --> 03:09.200 So just in the discussions anything you want to say you'll have a bit of a chance to steer the direction 03:09.230 --> 03:14.360 of this section you might be wondering by the way why there's a Gothics Gothic chirked section below 03:14.360 --> 03:18.630 this part of the course that section is going to disappear from the course a few in a few weeks time. 03:18.680 --> 03:22.940 It's just there because it is older content that's being replaced with this section. 03:22.950 --> 03:26.990 Mike is going to be adding videos how many a week Mike are you going to be adding to this section at 03:26.990 --> 03:28.200 least 10 a week. 03:28.310 --> 03:32.300 So I'm likely going to add 10 videos a week to this section just stay in this section keep consuming 03:32.300 --> 03:34.500 it keep watching it and it's going to be great. 03:34.730 --> 03:37.270 OK guys let's dive in the blender. 03:38.370 --> 03:40.650 He always says that when I say hop on over each. 03:40.800 --> 03:42.170 That's true.
