00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:08,630

Hi guys and welcome to this new lecture about shapes and Mersch by Mersch path are a way to create compound



2

00:00:08,660 --> 00:00:13,970

or complex shapes and the best example I can give you here is to create a good from then on you will



3

00:00:13,970 --> 00:00:20,060

understand most path and you can go ahead and create very complex shapes the way you like them.



4

00:00:20,090 --> 00:00:21,610

They start by creating a start.



5

00:00:21,650 --> 00:00:25,800

I would click on Start two and go and create my funny style.



6

00:00:25,820 --> 00:00:33,960

As always we give it more spikes or corners come to the Poly start here in the poly Star Bar.



7

00:00:33,980 --> 00:00:38,380

We increase that in around nice I will be cool.



8

00:00:38,740 --> 00:00:39,310

Fine.



9

00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,290

And we want to adjust it in the middle center.



10

00:00:43,300 --> 00:00:47,680

We put the position in Transform start to zero.



11

00:00:47,860 --> 00:00:50,510

Now it's in the middle of the left or center.



12

00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:55,150

I will come to Pollstar let's say this wrong we'll call it a group and we sigi.



13

00:00:55,180 --> 00:01:05,340

For example I would create here a ellipse and from this ellipse I want to start trimming the top the



14

00:01:05,430 --> 00:01:12,970

spikes of the Gaea I would come to the ellipse here and scale it up decide where I want to scale it



15

00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,810

to trim the top exactly that that will be fine.



16

00:01:16,810 --> 00:01:23,130

Now since I wanted to limit these ones might not work with you at all now is a really different job



17

00:01:23,140 --> 00:01:30,550

so I will use the merge but I will come to the gear group and I will go and use the path the Mersch



18

00:01:30,540 --> 00:01:33,040

pass game under the star and the ellipse.



19

00:01:33,130 --> 00:01:38,550

And these are the two paths that will be merged I would come to and use substract for example.



20

00:01:38,550 --> 00:01:44,520

So we have an interesting shape but not really what you want let's say about the intersect that is working.



21

00:01:44,530 --> 00:01:47,980

It has chopped off the spikes and it's looking good.



22

00:01:47,980 --> 00:01:54,110

The boss has here has made the intersection between the ellipse and the polystyrene can put the Polish



23

00:01:54,110 --> 00:01:55,190

side on top.



24

00:01:55,210 --> 00:01:56,630

It's still the same.



25

00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:02,420

Eric I will come to the ellipse part and can make it bigger or smaller.



26

00:02:02,420 --> 00:02:04,290

The way I would like to find.



27

00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:05,180

That's OK.



28

00:02:05,530 --> 00:02:06,910

Now I have immersed.



29

00:02:07,180 --> 00:02:12,620

So these two ships have been merged and the last shape is contained inside the most part.



30

00:02:12,730 --> 00:02:19,930

Let's add another ellipse because I want to remove these spikes here from the inside take the ellipse



31

00:02:20,020 --> 00:02:21,960

and put it under my most path.



32

00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:22,760

Fine.



33

00:02:22,810 --> 00:02:25,680

Now I will get the ellipse to be bigger.



34

00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,550

For example over here and here you are.



35

00:02:29,770 --> 00:02:33,290

I have now my kind of will I like this one pretty much.



36

00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,750

I want to add the whole in here to put together for example the shaft inside.



37

00:02:39,250 --> 00:02:42,900

So you have here emersed path one and ellipse path one.



38

00:02:42,910 --> 00:02:44,030

These are two ships.



39

00:02:44,050 --> 00:02:47,920

I want to merge them in one to make a hole in the middle.



40

00:02:47,950 --> 00:02:56,820

What I will do I will add another Mersch path and take it under that leaps and just make it or merge.



41

00:02:56,820 --> 00:03:03,770

If helike is the same so that my last final shape here all the ship path is everything that I can see.



42

00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:11,240

I would come and add an ellipse in the middle and take it under the path and add another Mersch path



43

00:03:12,050 --> 00:03:14,120

under the ellipse.



44

00:03:14,140 --> 00:03:15,620

Notice how it's coming.



45

00:03:15,710 --> 00:03:23,000

So now I will make this one substract So the small ellipse has been substracted from Mersch But to that



46

00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,710

is everything above fine.



47

00:03:25,730 --> 00:03:27,950

I will make my ellipse a bit bigger.



48

00:03:27,980 --> 00:03:31,070

You have now a very nice gear that you can of course.



49

00:03:31,130 --> 00:03:37,910

Any made either from the gear group or from the layer that's emitted from the polystyrene we can't do



50

00:03:37,910 --> 00:03:39,120

that with keyframe.



51

00:03:39,170 --> 00:03:47,730

The rotation come after four seconds give it for example three and read on it I believe you.



52

00:03:47,770 --> 00:03:51,940

So now you're not sure you have your gear that is turning extremely fast.



53

00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,570

Let's make it only one.



54

00:03:53,710 --> 00:03:55,150

So we see it slowly.



55

00:03:55,390 --> 00:03:55,780

Here you are.



56

00:03:55,780 --> 00:04:01,130

This is how you use Mersch path but so the concept of it is inside the group.



57

00:04:01,300 --> 00:04:08,170

You can add more spot and use the four or five modes that you have here add subtract intersect and exclude



58

00:04:08,250 --> 00:04:12,310

intersection to create some very nice shapes.



59

00:04:12,310 --> 00:04:18,550

This is one Chibs just by changing a single Mersch But of course you want to train on this you want



60

00:04:18,550 --> 00:04:21,870

to make sure that you know exactly how it works.



61

00:04:22,090 --> 00:04:30,400

You can come now outside the group in the content add another shape for example and a rectangle just



62

00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,970

for the sake of giving the example and make the rectangle a bit bigger.



63

00:04:35,980 --> 00:04:39,870

OK.



64

00:04:40,140 --> 00:04:44,730

Put it like this just for the example is not going to look good at all we can use now.



65

00:04:44,740 --> 00:04:50,660

Emersed path under the rectangle and say for example abstract.



66

00:04:50,830 --> 00:04:53,070

So subtracting everything from the outside.



67

00:04:53,070 --> 00:04:58,110

Or we can say intersect and you can see the gear has been chopped off.



68

00:04:58,110 --> 00:05:04,550

So the merged path can either be used in side the group or inside the content here and you can blame



69

00:05:04,550 --> 00:05:10,890

it all it's actually much but are very useful and you can use them to create companionships.



70

00:05:10,890 --> 00:05:16,020

Thanks very much for listening and I hope you will use the most path go to after effects and start playing



71

00:05:16,290 --> 00:05:18,510

with the most pass and see exactly what you can do.



72

00:05:18,500 --> 00:05:24,270

Now it's important that you collect all this information and train yourself using all the strategies



73

00:05:24,570 --> 00:05:27,930

that they gave in shapes here and I'm going to give you much more.
