WEBVTT 00:01.050 --> 00:09.120 Welcome to linking blend files making a proxy in this video you will learn more about linking data blocks. 00:09.300 --> 00:12.290 Understand what is happening when you leap. 00:12.580 --> 00:14.230 Realize that when. 00:16.490 --> 00:20.140 Realizing of course when you need to use a proxy. 00:20.430 --> 00:25.580 And we already got some issues at the moment that we can't move are linked objects. 00:25.580 --> 00:27.670 Perhaps that's a clue of what's coming next. 00:27.860 --> 00:29.730 So about making a proxy. 00:29.750 --> 00:38.540 What is happening in the background is it creates a new object that is a parent of the linked data and 00:38.540 --> 00:44.080 what that in turn allows us to do is transformation of an object. 00:44.090 --> 00:50.030 It allows us to edit the parent the new object that's been created the proxy object that's been created 00:50.360 --> 00:57.800 and that allows us to do things like scale move rotate etc. and it also allows us to change the object 00:57.800 --> 01:02.800 properties of the parent which in turn will modify the linked data. 01:03.260 --> 01:06.290 Otherwise it's exactly the same as the linked file. 01:06.290 --> 01:13.580 It is identical to the source file that you brought in to Blender the object data blocks is linked to 01:13.580 --> 01:16.630 the original and any dependent data blocks as well. 01:16.630 --> 01:21.800 So if you've got you will probably have a mesh data in there but you might have imported lamps that 01:21.800 --> 01:24.320 won't be there but that will have like properties. 01:24.320 --> 01:29.930 So in a mesh data when you brought that in so you will have the object data block you'll probably have 01:29.990 --> 01:32.170 a mesh data block along with that. 01:32.240 --> 01:38.430 And if you've got materials applied to that those are come across and any textures as well. 01:38.780 --> 01:42.350 So let's go experience making a proxy over in blender. 01:42.600 --> 01:47.840 Oh okay of course we're on our way to a blender at the moment and first of all we need to make the commit 01:47.840 --> 01:52.790 message what we're going to do in this case it's going to be the title of the video that I'm doing of. 01:52.940 --> 02:00.790 And in your case it's going to be making my Linked objects a proxy or something along those lines or 02:00.790 --> 02:02.930 of course if you're working on something else in between. 02:02.930 --> 02:08.320 Remember to give it an appropriate name so you know what you've done right now that that is done. 02:08.570 --> 02:10.820 We're ready to hop home over in a blender. 02:10.820 --> 02:15.740 I just want to say at this point this is going to be the last time I'm actively going to be showing 02:15.740 --> 02:18.060 you source tree working in the background. 02:18.110 --> 02:21.410 I'll just be doing this as I progress. 02:21.410 --> 02:25.910 Please do continue making your commits whenever you make major changes to your model because it's going 02:25.910 --> 02:28.070 to allow you to go back if you have a problem. 02:28.280 --> 02:31.880 We'll be visiting how to go back in a future lecture. 02:31.880 --> 02:33.180 So don't worry about that. 02:33.260 --> 02:34.340 That's still coming. 02:34.340 --> 02:38.940 But otherwise you won't see much of sourced tree from now onwards right. 02:39.020 --> 02:44.660 So now we're back over in lendu we've got a series of linked objects and we can see the outline of their 02:44.690 --> 02:50.330 links because they have this little bits of paper on them with the arrow which means they're link to 02:50.360 --> 02:52.300 a another blend far. 02:54.670 --> 02:58.240 We can't see anything at the moment because we shove them all on too late too. 02:58.230 --> 03:05.470 So let's go over to layer 2 now that's looking pretty good and we need to make these things a proxy 03:05.560 --> 03:10.950 which will allow us to move them and therefore construct our church from these pieces. 03:10.960 --> 03:14.720 Or your interior building if you're working on something different. 03:15.090 --> 03:16.090 So I'm going to select that. 03:16.090 --> 03:22.210 Now this is an object operation so we can go down to the objects menu and if we go up here we've got 03:22.210 --> 03:28.090 make proxies about half way down the menu and you can see the shortcuts there are control Oulton. 03:28.100 --> 03:31.570 P When we do that we get an okay message. 03:31.570 --> 03:32.920 So we have to click again. 03:33.100 --> 03:37.540 And now it is a proxy so we can see here that it's ever so slightly different. 03:37.540 --> 03:40.000 It's been renamed underscore proxy. 03:40.210 --> 03:42.970 And if we open it up it's got a little bit of a hierarchy. 03:42.970 --> 03:48.630 We've got a linked church vault mesh down here and the linked object there as well. 03:48.630 --> 03:49.350 So this is great. 03:49.350 --> 03:52.770 This is showing us that it is a proxy it's renamed it for us. 03:52.900 --> 03:59.340 And now of course what we can't do with any of the others is move it about and translate it in our world. 03:59.350 --> 04:01.570 We can even rotate it and scale it. 04:01.600 --> 04:06.460 Of course what we do have to be careful with is the whole scaling thing. 04:06.580 --> 04:12.190 That's one of the reasons why I've made a series of church floors here because later on when I go to 04:12.190 --> 04:18.830 apply a texture to those floors or walls or wherever if I decide to scale that object. 04:18.850 --> 04:24.790 So for instance the church floor that's two by two can quite easily be scaled to fit even a two by four 04:24.790 --> 04:26.080 or four by four. 04:26.110 --> 04:28.800 However the textures will also stretch. 04:28.900 --> 04:33.540 So with the church floor four by four what would have to do is remap the textures. 04:33.580 --> 04:39.280 But if we've got the original object already mapped properly and will go into that soon then we don't 04:39.280 --> 04:45.790 have to worry about stretching it and re rejigging all of the texture mapping to sort that out so that's 04:45.790 --> 04:49.260 why I've got a series of objects there with the walls and everything else. 04:49.260 --> 04:52.060 I think I'm going to be filed the settings that I've got. 04:52.130 --> 04:57.660 I'm just going to undo the movement that I've done with this particular. 05:01.050 --> 05:02.570 Church of here. 05:02.850 --> 05:06.170 And of course I've got a very quick challenge for you guys. 05:06.180 --> 05:12.990 I would like you to proxy or linked files some make the rest of your linked objects proxy's in your 05:12.990 --> 05:13.740 scene. 05:13.760 --> 05:16.160 Balls of video now and give that ago. 05:18.000 --> 05:18.690 Okay guys. 05:18.690 --> 05:19.670 Welcome back. 05:19.830 --> 05:23.030 Let's go make those other linked files proxies. 05:23.300 --> 05:25.730 I'm going hop into a blender. 05:26.040 --> 05:27.020 And here we go. 05:27.060 --> 05:28.590 Now I am just going. 05:28.610 --> 05:29.870 I've not tried this. 05:29.910 --> 05:35.530 I'm going to try selecting all of these going to object and make proxy. 05:37.020 --> 05:38.890 No it's only done the selected one. 05:39.020 --> 05:47.310 I think you do control all tempy make proxy control or to make proxy select it control orders and make 05:47.310 --> 05:50.430 proxy make sure your cursor is not over the outline. 05:50.430 --> 05:52.890 But over the 3-d editing window itself. 05:52.890 --> 05:58.520 Otherwise you'll shortcut key is not going to work if I trying use it whilst I'm still over the outliner. 05:58.590 --> 05:59.770 It's not going to do anything. 05:59.770 --> 06:03.570 So make sure you're over the 3D editor window and there we go. 06:03.570 --> 06:11.190 All of these have been made proxy's Finally I need to make sure I've saved my blend file and then if 06:11.190 --> 06:18.750 I hop on over into source tree I can see my uncommitted changes which will be my Gothic church blend 06:18.750 --> 06:24.230 file which is the scene I'm creating and my read me updating what I've done. 06:24.240 --> 06:24.990 Perfect. 06:25.110 --> 06:27.910 So let's stage those files go to commit. 06:27.930 --> 06:30.680 And of course the name is correct. 06:30.680 --> 06:34.340 Their hit commit and we're sorted. 06:34.410 --> 06:34.920 Brilliant. 06:34.920 --> 06:41.460 How did you guys get on how we're almost ready now to start constructing our church but we've got one 06:41.460 --> 06:47.880 more thing to learn about when it comes to linking files and that so we can have some more control over 06:47.880 --> 06:50.690 these files locally within this blend file. 06:50.910 --> 06:54.040 But I would be discussing that in the next lecture.
