WEBVTT 00:01.000 --> 00:04.210 Welcome to repetitive tasks in blender. 00:04.330 --> 00:08.700 In this video you will learn how to manage repetitive tasks. 00:08.710 --> 00:13.930 There are lots we do over and over again and sometimes we just want to repeat the same action we've 00:13.930 --> 00:14.770 just done. 00:14.890 --> 00:22.120 But in a different location now we're going to also understand good uses for appending a blend file 00:22.300 --> 00:23.550 into our scene. 00:23.740 --> 00:26.780 So let's go hop straight on over into a blender. 00:28.060 --> 00:29.970 Okay so we're back over in blender. 00:29.980 --> 00:34.330 The first thing I'm going to do is just remove everything in the scene to keep it nice and straight 00:34.330 --> 00:35.260 forward. 00:35.260 --> 00:41.050 Now when you're spending far into a scene you want to do that whenever you basically want to completely 00:41.050 --> 00:46.510 forget all the history of that and use it as a base to generate something new from it. 00:46.590 --> 00:52.150 And so in order to do this we're going to go and use one of the basic objects that we've got so we're 00:52.150 --> 00:56.550 going to go and spend we can see a short cut there is shift in EF 1. 00:56.950 --> 01:03.710 I'm going to go to my assets and in meshes and I'm going to use the square the two by two by pointing 01:03.770 --> 01:04.480 five. 01:04.480 --> 01:09.610 Now we need to go to the object I want to bring the whole object in in all of its properties and just 01:09.610 --> 01:10.640 pick up the square. 01:10.660 --> 01:12.310 And that's a pen that in. 01:12.790 --> 01:17.630 So there we go we have our new object in the scene and it's not linked at all. 01:17.650 --> 01:22.500 So I'm now going to first of all change the name before we do anything else. 01:22.690 --> 01:26.200 And I'm going to call this square the tail. 01:26.200 --> 01:29.380 I think that would be appropriate if I could spell detail of course. 01:29.380 --> 01:30.220 There we go. 01:30.220 --> 01:31.310 Square the tail. 01:31.390 --> 01:33.080 And I'm going to copy that. 01:33.160 --> 01:38.320 Go to save make sure I'm in the ascites folder and paste that in. 01:38.320 --> 01:42.420 So we're working on a brandy blender far based upon the other ones who've appended it in. 01:42.430 --> 01:46.630 Any changes we make here or to the other blend file. 01:46.630 --> 01:49.210 I'm not going to impact the that's more important. 01:49.210 --> 01:51.830 Any changes we've made to the other blend file. 01:52.180 --> 01:58.140 So with this we can now go ahead and create some detail I'm going to make some very basic detail here. 01:58.180 --> 02:01.150 I'm going to take this top face and subdivide it. 02:01.150 --> 02:05.630 So let's go into edit mode and then select face. 02:05.770 --> 02:08.070 It's going to subdivide that. 02:08.460 --> 02:12.880 Now lemme have this face here and inset it's by I don't know. 02:12.880 --> 02:13.740 Point two. 02:13.780 --> 02:14.440 There we go. 02:14.590 --> 02:15.490 So that looks good. 02:15.490 --> 02:21.040 Now I want to do that to the rest of these faces and of course this isn't that trivial doing it to a 02:21.040 --> 02:22.800 few of these faces here. 02:22.850 --> 02:29.740 However I can quite easily end up having a very repetitive task going on and the easy way to do that 02:29.740 --> 02:30.990 is shift and ah. 02:31.000 --> 02:39.790 So if I select this next phase and go shift and ah it just repeats exactly the task I did moments ago 02:40.120 --> 02:41.700 and that is incredibly powerful. 02:41.800 --> 02:45.430 If I can just keep doing it and doing it because it will invert. 02:45.430 --> 02:48.540 In this case I don't want to go quite that far. 02:48.580 --> 02:50.450 Of course then I can decide right. 02:50.470 --> 02:52.730 I've repeated that along there. 02:52.960 --> 02:58.130 And I want to extrude ever so slightly by point one that's to say. 02:58.360 --> 03:01.630 And again I can select that one shift shift shift. 03:01.870 --> 03:06.750 And there we go we've got a a wall with a panelled wall if you will. 03:06.850 --> 03:08.480 Very very powerful feature. 03:08.470 --> 03:11.410 Be able to repeat things over and over again. 03:11.470 --> 03:17.650 Of course I can go ahead and save that file an I've got that ready to use in this scene later Ron. 03:17.890 --> 03:19.930 Okay guys it's Challenge time. 03:19.930 --> 03:22.210 I'd like you to add some detail. 03:22.310 --> 03:30.100 So spend a few of the existing modules into new blender files create some geometric patterns on them 03:30.370 --> 03:32.440 or add a bit more detail. 03:32.710 --> 03:36.260 Save them as new individual blend files. 03:36.520 --> 03:38.820 And of course make a commit. 03:39.040 --> 03:41.900 So balls are video now and give that a go. 03:44.480 --> 03:46.190 Okay guys welcome back. 03:46.190 --> 03:49.570 Let's go hop straight on over in a blender. 03:50.420 --> 03:52.060 OK so back over in blender. 03:52.080 --> 03:53.910 I've done my square the tell. 03:53.930 --> 03:55.620 Let's go ahead and. 03:56.350 --> 03:57.880 Start a brandley blend far. 03:57.970 --> 04:00.160 And again I'm going to remove everything from the scene. 04:00.160 --> 04:05.440 I am tempted to set up my basic scene without anything in it at this point. 04:05.500 --> 04:06.050 Let's go. 04:06.100 --> 04:06.800 Pen. 04:06.900 --> 04:10.240 An I'm going to work on the door. 04:10.240 --> 04:14.810 I think that I've made early I'm not sure actually at the moment let's go see what I've got as I've 04:14.830 --> 04:18.740 done my door with Herbert the one with the window on it underneath. 04:18.760 --> 04:20.960 Add some detail to that. 04:21.040 --> 04:26.450 So we've got this window in the wall here let's go ahead and edit it. 04:26.470 --> 04:29.020 Focus on it as well so you can see what's going on. 04:29.020 --> 04:34.750 And I think it would look quite nice with a couple of detailed edges to it so I'm going to this time 04:34.780 --> 04:39.720 use a couple of loop cuts to help frame the wall a little. 04:39.840 --> 04:41.830 Would it help if I knew where that was. 04:41.830 --> 04:44.150 No I'm going to do that by I. 04:45.400 --> 04:47.540 I'm going to put a loop cut round the top here. 04:48.300 --> 04:53.610 GROSS I could be more precise if I wanted to as well but if that looks right by I that's all good for 04:53.610 --> 04:57.990 me and I'm going to go ahead here and win this case. 04:57.990 --> 05:02.590 I'm going to select them all individually and move up rather than repeating. 05:04.260 --> 05:08.490 Although arguably I think it would be just as quick to do both of those. 05:08.610 --> 05:10.770 And I'm going to pull that out ever so slightly. 05:10.790 --> 05:13.460 Or are there by how much. 05:13.460 --> 05:14.600 I'm looking down there. 05:14.850 --> 05:20.370 Not by much hyped or by about point nor five I think to add a bit more detail around there. 05:20.370 --> 05:25.840 So that's a new level of detail I suppose with our window that's useful to know. 05:25.890 --> 05:32.570 And whilst I'm here adding detail that now looks like I can pull this up ever so slightly. 05:32.700 --> 05:37.480 Not by much just a little bit again by about porton point not 5. 05:38.190 --> 05:43.840 And pull it out and that will start to give us a bit of a window ledge which is quite nice. 05:44.130 --> 05:50.570 Again I'm going to extrude that out by about point 1 and I'm going to do it on the other side as well. 05:50.570 --> 05:55.330 It's always very useful so extrude by about point 1. 05:55.500 --> 05:58.710 So then I can have an inside of the wall and then outside. 05:58.710 --> 05:59.380 Really good. 05:59.520 --> 06:01.520 So I'm going to now save this. 06:01.520 --> 06:04.550 I'm going to make sure it's named appropriately so. 06:04.680 --> 06:06.000 Wall window 06:08.370 --> 06:10.730 underscore the tell. 06:10.770 --> 06:16.280 Copy that so it's exactly the same over here and save as. 06:17.060 --> 06:19.290 Place that in and save. 06:19.640 --> 06:24.730 Okay so the final thing to do is hop over to our repository. 06:24.860 --> 06:30.780 So just opened up where we are and I've got uncommitted changes going on from our first commit. 06:30.830 --> 06:36.260 So this allows me of course if I make a complete Booboo and change things up I can always hop back in 06:36.260 --> 06:36.740 time. 06:36.830 --> 06:42.740 So I want to make this commit now that I've added two new models I could have done just at every stage 06:42.770 --> 06:45.640 but I haven't changed any of the other models at the moment. 06:45.770 --> 06:51.650 So you can consider when you actually change something from how it was previously That would be a good 06:51.650 --> 06:52.310 time to make. 06:52.310 --> 06:56.270 Commit Sonor click click here on uncommitted changes. 06:56.480 --> 07:00.040 I'm going to have a look down here at my unstaged files. 07:00.060 --> 07:03.760 Now I'm just going to try to find the little widget to pull this window up. 07:03.800 --> 07:05.580 Okay so now I've done that. 07:05.600 --> 07:11.390 I've got two files here ready for staging which of the two that I've done I'm going to put a tick in 07:11.390 --> 07:16.990 the box there which I'm happy with and I'm going to commit those and I'm going to put here. 07:17.270 --> 07:24.550 I've added detail to window and wall. 07:25.220 --> 07:28.780 And press commit now I've not got any particular. 07:29.700 --> 07:36.840 Text File going on in here but of course before doing that comic you could have appended your text file 07:36.930 --> 07:38.220 as well. 07:38.220 --> 07:39.660 How did you guys get on. 07:39.660 --> 07:42.730 What detail did you add to your models. 07:42.750 --> 07:46.870 Please share in the discussions and I will see you guys in the next lecture.
