WEBVTT 00:00.150 --> 00:07.420 So let's talk about what you can export in this video you will understand what will export. 00:07.480 --> 00:14.310 Realize some elements of your models will not export or will once or not properly at all. 00:14.310 --> 00:19.110 It does depend on the target package that you're exporting to. 00:19.170 --> 00:21.480 So what will appear on import. 00:21.480 --> 00:28.740 Well often you will have no problem with meche data including the U.S. maps armatures and animation 00:28.740 --> 00:32.780 data will appear to support it in the target package. 00:32.790 --> 00:39.840 So for instance if you were moving a mesh in the animated lamp that we've done into something like unity 00:40.350 --> 00:43.100 or unreel you'll find the animation is there. 00:43.100 --> 00:49.860 If you're trying to import that into something like Sketchup which doesn't support that type of animation 00:50.100 --> 00:51.960 then it just wouldn't be there. 00:52.020 --> 00:59.540 Now textures may appear that once this is one of these odd ones or the simple diff based the fused texture 00:59.550 --> 01:05.820 that comes when you make your model but often that will appear there once and then not update anymore. 01:06.060 --> 01:12.870 So what we have to do in a lot of cases is if we're working in another application is a lot of reconstruction 01:13.830 --> 01:19.050 so texture's often have to be reapplied whether they're in normal mapper or a diffused map and will 01:19.050 --> 01:23.580 go over those types of map in much more detail shortly. 01:23.580 --> 01:29.900 Shaders how it actually renders the image work differently in other packages. 01:30.090 --> 01:34.910 And what that basically means is any of your materials would have to be remade. 01:34.950 --> 01:42.630 So we've got our texture's on one level whether they're a bump map showing as artificial surface detail 01:42.780 --> 01:49.440 or whether they're a diffuse map which show is the base colour of a material the materials themselves 01:49.440 --> 01:52.380 will often have to be reconstructed. 01:52.380 --> 01:58.800 So that means if we're working primarily in another package and we use using blender to model with then 01:58.800 --> 02:04.800 you shouldn't be focussing too heavily on materials within blender you need to focus on materials within 02:04.800 --> 02:10.120 the target package particle systems are local to Blender. 02:10.140 --> 02:15.060 So if you've made something with hair and try and export it the hair won't be there. 02:15.060 --> 02:16.590 You can solidify the hair. 02:16.590 --> 02:20.490 Sure you can make it a mesh object and then it will come across. 02:20.580 --> 02:23.680 But that might put your polygon count through the roof. 02:24.580 --> 02:28.540 Of course one of the best things you can do is test. 02:28.540 --> 02:32.190 So if you want to move from one package to the other. 02:32.320 --> 02:33.940 Just test what you want to do. 02:33.940 --> 02:39.890 Be very lean about to just make a hairy cube and see if that opens up in an external package. 02:40.030 --> 02:42.850 If it doesn't ask yourself why is that. 02:42.850 --> 02:48.820 And then you drift back and you go well is this a particle system or you've made the cube look like 02:48.820 --> 02:49.540 glass. 02:49.550 --> 02:55.330 So it's a glass paperweight on a desk for instance and then you test it and it just comes across as 02:55.330 --> 02:56.110 a cube. 02:56.290 --> 03:02.250 Well then you need to set up the material in the target package so we don't want to do is waste time. 03:02.260 --> 03:09.430 In blender if youre moving your models straight over to an external package of course that's not what 03:09.430 --> 03:13.470 were going to be focussed on entirely here because it is a course on blender. 03:13.540 --> 03:18.710 So we'll be focussed on actually all of these things within blender and how to get them out as well. 03:18.730 --> 03:20.270 If you want to use them there. 03:20.410 --> 03:22.230 So a quick challenge for you here. 03:22.240 --> 03:25.340 Where's your models end points. 03:25.420 --> 03:29.200 So where is the model you were making going to end up. 03:29.200 --> 03:30.880 Is it going to end up in a game engine. 03:30.880 --> 03:33.460 Is it going to end up in a completely different package. 03:33.460 --> 03:35.580 Are you moving between the two. 03:35.590 --> 03:42.070 We need to make these decisions now before we start moving ahead and are wasting time in one package 03:42.280 --> 03:44.080 when we should be putting up that effort. 03:44.080 --> 03:52.930 For instance materials in another what do you need to do in blender vs. the external package was the 03:52.930 --> 03:55.100 video now and give that some thought. 03:58.180 --> 03:59.830 Guys welcome back. 03:59.830 --> 04:02.460 Now I'm going to go through my challenge answer. 04:02.500 --> 04:06.550 Well I'm going to remain in blender for the entire project. 04:06.640 --> 04:10.840 So I of course is a course focussed on blender so I'm going to be doing that. 04:10.870 --> 04:13.950 And so the materials will be fleshed out in blender. 04:14.050 --> 04:18.270 Textures will be made in blender but kept unpacked. 04:18.430 --> 04:22.900 So before we've had them packed into the blend file I think I've still got it. 04:22.900 --> 04:28.030 Default sets being packed so I'm going to have to sort out when I looked at my data block it did show 04:28.030 --> 04:35.140 me that they were packed so I need to change that and then I can use any textures I create across multiple 04:35.140 --> 04:40.930 models because they are not going to be stored in the blend file they're going to be stored on a folder 04:40.960 --> 04:45.930 probably at Textus folder on the actual computer itself which is incredibly useful. 04:45.940 --> 04:52.510 Now I just need to bear in mind that if I do move my models out and I will do throughout this section 04:52.510 --> 04:57.970 to make sure that they're working externally that things that I've had to make a particle system I just 04:57.970 --> 05:00.710 need to be aware that that isn't going to come across. 05:00.790 --> 05:04.350 The lighting in the scene that's not going to come across etc etc.. 05:04.360 --> 05:10.600 There's lots of things that potentially I could do that have no impact in an external file so that may 05:10.600 --> 05:11.140 aid. 05:11.170 --> 05:11.640 Glenda. 05:11.660 --> 05:17.530 Well it's not going to aid anything else moving out so I'll just bear that in mind and wherever possible 05:18.090 --> 05:23.880 limits things like the particle systems and special lighting effects etc.. 05:24.250 --> 05:25.660 How did you guys get on. 05:25.660 --> 05:28.410 Are you working in multiple packages at the moment. 05:28.420 --> 05:34.180 Please share how your working what packages you're working in are you moving between two 3D modelling 05:34.180 --> 05:36.970 packages like sketch up through the s Max and blender. 05:36.970 --> 05:39.850 Perhaps you use one for one thing and one for another. 05:39.850 --> 05:45.070 I know a lot of people out there use Z brush for sculpting and then hop back into blender for rendering 05:45.070 --> 05:45.920 etc.. 05:46.670 --> 05:48.860 Or are you working with the game engine. 05:48.890 --> 05:53.130 Please share in the discussions and I will see you guys in the next lecture.
