In this section we look at using a quick way to mockup worlds and create folliage Reference (BEC)
In this video (objectives)…
Mike shows you a simple scene that you'll be able to create using the new and improved Grease pencil in Blender 2.8
In this video (objectives)…
- Add a Grease Pencil object
- Look at the options with the Grease pencil
- Change to the different brush types
After watching (learning outcomes)…
You will be able to use the basicgrease pencil in Blender!
In this video (objectives)…
- Look at how to change the Background
- Understand when to use a light vs a dark background
- Reason why you need to have an appropriate colour grease pencil with your chose back ground
After watching (learning outcomes)…
You will have a more comfortable working environment for sketching in Blender.
In this video (objectives)…
- Edit stokes made using the grease pencil tool
- Great for when things new a slight adjustment
- Use Proportional editing to manipulate your sketch
After watching (learning outcomes)…
You will be able to modify your grease pencil after you have created it.
Michael show you a quick tip that is especially useful if you don't have a stylus.
In this video (objectives)…
- Convert a Grease Pencil To A Curve
- Understand the process
After watching (learning outcomes)…
You will be able to convert grease pencil sketches to curve data
In this video (objectives)…
- Whilst keeping the curve as a curve object create real geometry
- Explore the different options
After watching (learning outcomes)…
You will be able to use your curves as real geometry
In this video (objectives)…
- Look in detail at the various shadow options
- Understand that with thin items, Shadow detail needs to be increased
- Cycles doesn't have these issues as the shadows occur naturally
After watching (learning outcomes)…
Be able to control Eevee's shadow settings with ease
In this video (objectives)…
- Look at what subsurface scattering is
- Understand that currently Eevee and Cycles produce very different results
- Cycles produces much more realistic results
- Turn it on in Eevee's rendering settings
After watching (learning outcomes)…
You will be able to setup and configure subsurface scattering in your materials
In this video (objectives)…
- Use the grease pencil to draw on an object's surface
- Control the offset from that surface
- Understand it's limitations
After watching (learning outcomes)…
You will be able to sketch upon the surface of a model
In this video (objectives)…
- Draw a curve rather than converting a grease pencil
- Understand it's limitations
- Far fewer control points to manage
After watching (learning outcomes)…
Use the mouse to sketch curves directly
In this video (objectives)…
- Use the grease pencil in a new way
- Link our strokes to each other
After watching (learning outcomes)…
Build much more complex sketches by linking a new stroke to previous ones
In this video (objectives)…
- Use Bend Angle
- See that it works across many object types in Blender
- Convert a curve into mesh
After watching (learning outcomes)…
Be able to adjust your strokes another way
In this video (objectives)…
- Understand the impact when models are used repeatedly
- Optimise our models
- Learn about dissolving
After watching (learning outcomes)…
You will be able to produce models and therefore scene that are more optimised.
A quick lecture showing you how to increase your speed by using the mirror modifier
In this video (objectives)…
- Understand that you can convery curve data into mesh data
- You can then manipulate it even further
After watching (learning outcomes)…
Be able to usefully convert curve data into mesh data
In this video (objectives)…
- More advanced array manipulation
After watching (learning outcomes)…
Be able to use array in a much more creative manner
In this video (objectives)…
- Use particle systems to position many objects in our scene
- Add some randomness to our particles
- Paint our objects to certain areas
After watching (learning outcomes)…
Have a basic grasp of Blender's particle system
Michael wraps up this section :) Hope you have had fun!
In this video (objectives)…
- What we did
After watching (learning outcomes)…
