All language subtitles for 29-Creating our trees Part2

Okay, so sorry for the quick cut.

I didn't realize about the time.

So now that we have our old version over here.

What we can do is we can also just quickly create a younger version

and this one should be quite easy.

We can go ahead and first of all, you know, old version.

I'm just double-checking that my yeah.

Okay.

So this which I find you can if you want.

Like minimize, maybe the segment's in here, but I'm going to use LEDs

for that.

So I'm not too worried.

So yeah, let's do a save as and just save this as three.

Number 02 over here.

I already had a file like that because I crashed.

Unfortunately, but okay.

So this now 302 and what we can do in here is let's get started by

just getting this off.

This little cap.

We have a truck trunk over here.

Let's set the size like 15.

Yes, that this is like a lot smaller and then in our skin we can set.

Let's make this a bit bigger.

We can set the absolute down like this.

So that's quite good and for the cash you get off course just like

play around with a few things.

For example, if you want to play hard like with your noise a bit more.

You can also work with that.

I'm gonna actually yeah, I think I'm actually going to stay with what

we have right now.

So next stop is that we have like our little punch over here.

And I kind of need to decide, so I feel like our little bar just we

would already have.

Oh, no, wait, actually.

Yes, this is correct.

This is correct.

Having punching you.

I'm going to

Swai.

And first of all, maybe do like some random generation.

So, let's go to the big branches, and let's just go up here to, why

can I never find this?

Here we go ahead, and I'm seeds.

I want to go ahead and just do like a randomize owl.

Ooh, I like that.

I liked it, but I want to have them like less long.

So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to go into my spine.

I'm going to try and like make them little bit less Long over here.

Maybe also work a little bit more with like the Align.

Which is that's the start angle.

We had our line probably doesn't work with the large party.

So we probably want to like set the start angle little bit up as if

the tree is really like going.

So it's trying to go upwards and this will also just condense

everything into like a small area that if we go to my little bar and

she's our might want to just play around with my generate.

where,

Now I think the amount is fine.

I think we just want to go ahead and like player out a little bit

more, like, a first, he had to get like a few extra Bond.

She's in the center over here.

And once we've done that, we can go into our leaf and the number of

leaves, maybe like tone it down, because it is like a new growing

Bunch.

So, here, let's do like three orientation.

That's once you get like a line this out a little bit.

Okay, so we got that also and then what I'm going to do, some gonna

probably go back to my big bunches and just with the notes.

I want to carefully do like a little bit of manual hand placement.

Here C and then you can very quickly.

Also generates a nice.

Smaller version of your tree.

That's always annoying.

When it's

When I want to move it up, but it's deciding that I, that it is going

to move down.

All right, there we go.

Now we now we got a bag.

I'm yeah.

Actually, you know what?

I quite like that.

Maybe like a come on.

Tiny bit less.

There we go.

So we got that one over here.

This one feels very empty.

To be honest here.

Let's just do like a tiny bit of scaling, so that it creates a few

more branches over here.

Yeah, and I think like something that like, this looks quite nice.

So, there we go.

It's now we also have like a little tree and just like that you can

just keep going and going and going and you can also, of course, K,

different types of trees.

For example, if you make trunk way bigger, you can create like oak

trees.

Of course, you would need the coax leaves but in general,

This is looking pretty good.

So I'm going to save this.

I'm going to quickly.

Also open up our original tree over here, and let's just go ahead and

do an export.

So, we have a tree over here.

We already went over the general Branch optimizations as far as I can

see, so I'm not too worried about that.

Yeah, because the smaller ones.

If I lower them even more, they would just become well, I might be

able to lower them, just in the underway.

It's because the radial I already lowered, the reason that the lady

looks like this here.

I might, if I set this to 0.

And then set the absolute your then I can control the radio little bit

better.

So I'm going to have this like

Yeah, pretty much at once that we only have twelve thousand because

these branches are so thin.

Right now, they are just High angles basically, but from a distance,

that should be totally fine.

So, okay, we have this.

Let me do one last save.

And now what we can do is we can get export because material.

Why is this XD?

Very basic.

It's very simple.

The only things that we do need to probably do some balancing.

Maybe even if Photoshop to make it look good inside of unreal, so we

are going to export the game.

Exports.

By a form.

Speedtree.

That was correct.

Actually, 301 safe.

Yes, I'm fine with all of this because it is still.

Correct.

So we can just go ahead and press export and let's open up Maya.

Here we go.

So we are back in Maya.

I'm going to turn off my phones and I'm going to import.

My.

Oops, wrong one exports from speed 30.

I will need to clean this up later on but we're almost there.

The trees actually last time that we are actually lost two models that

we need to create and after that it will just be a bonus chapter.

So you are almost done with this tutorial course.

Congrats.

So, okay.

We have a tree over here.

Move it up.

Yeah, I think for the size.

We probably want to end up like scaling it more of course, but let's

just start with this size over here.

You can see like the geometry on these leaves.

They are a little bit high.

So we probably want to like reduce those you yeah, it might be better

if we do that right now because if we do it later on, it becomes a

little bit more annoying.

So let's just go into your edit.

There we go, and just do debts and you will see that.

That's will actually make a very large difference.

So now we are only at 60,000 trees.

I believe it was like double before that.

So let's just go ahead and do one quick export again.

Yeah, I want to replace it.

And I win here.

You can just quickly.

Delete that one.

That's no problem.

And then just re-import it.

There we go.

So quickly done that just to make sure that it's optimized.

And now let's just copy the name.

Let's go ahead and

Ungroup, delete the old one based in name applied to a layer.

Give the layer name.

It's the same stuff over and over and over again.

There we go.

So now we have full control over here.

And what I'm going to do now is I just like to do like a quick check

to make sure like, sometimes I don't really like stuff like this where

I just want to

Quickly, delete it.

And then like carefully also delete that one.

So that's also why I like to you often have it first into Maya so that

I can just very quickly see if I don't like something and then I can

just get rid of it like that.

So it's just like it's if you're very picky, but basically now that we

are done with this one and everything should be shut up.

We can go ahead and we can save us in and we can export this to

unreal.

And then we will see how it looks.

And then later on.

We will also just do like the smaller one so exports to unreal.

So I close my eyes.

I just need to redo my settings.

Three underscore 01.

And we can just do normal export.

Now, one last thing is quickly, go to Speed 3 and 30 to, because I'm

worried that I might forget.

I'm just going to edit the leaf and just tone down again.

There we go.

And save.

So I was just going to quickly turn it down.

And if you want you can of course already just quickly export this.

That's no problem.

It does not take any extra effort.

There we go.

So, now that we've done this, let's go ahead and go into unreal and

it's actually properly set.

Up.

So in here, let's first of all, go to, Texas.

Three, I'll score branch.

And I'm also going to go textures drunk over here.

So 30 time bark, I should call that bark right-click.

Rename.

There we go.

And I'm just going to go import my textures.

So first of all, let's do the back one.

That one is very easy.

It is this open up your normal map, and let's not forget to quickly.

Press the flip green Channel, because these come from taxes.com.

And then I'm going to go for my tree branch.

And let's just navigate.

Where are you custom punch texture.

There we go.

So we can go ahead and we can use these four of them.

Yes.

I think I need out for them.

And once you can just go into your normal flip, the green Channel

Hound, that should be fine.

Because I baked in direct, except Leaf obvious will notice soon

enough.

So, we got these done.

Now.

Let's go ahead and go into assets.

Let's import our tree.

Here we go.

Default settings should still apply.

Then the first thing I want to do is I probably want to just drag it

in and just see.

I think I want to probably scale it up this one quite a bit more.

So let's go.

Yeah, because then if it's standing here, let's scale It Up by 1.5,

maybe 01.

.50 to.

Let's try 1.5 first.

Yeah, you see 1.5 is already more than not because this is like the

big one because we also have like a small one.

So that's all.

We're looking really cool.

Even as like just a gray scale.

So we can now go ahead and go to our materials.

I believe that we have like in simple IV bark, which we can duplicate,

and we can call this one back on score 01.

Open it up.

And let's go ahead and go to bark.

Would normal roughness.

Set the color back to like normal color, maybe like a little bit crazy

over here.

And then if we go to into our tree, we can start by just, you know, I

will just wipe my tree for the first time in here.

And then if I go to my materials, let's grab my back because it is

looking a little bit white-ish.

Show save.

Oh, no, it's not as bad.

I feel like I want to have control over my Norm map, in this case

here, first of all, to

Has coffins.

That's will also like make a difference.

But I think what I'm going to do is let's go into a solid master.

And let's see if we can have some control over the norm map by adding

a flattened normal notes over here.

Along with the scalar parameter.

That we work, all normal.

Intensity.

And often we need to go in -1 if we are using opengl.

So let's just plug this in here.

And it's have, look.

Come on.

You can do it.

It's strange how sometimes it just takes random long amount of time.

Okay, so let's go into a boxer one.

Set the normal strength device do like - 50 k.

So I'm able to use it.

So - 3 may be getting minus 3 is pretty good.

Now as for the UVS, you are able to control the TVs in here, but since

we are already inside of unreal, it might sometimes as like a little

cheat, just be easier to add a scalar parameter.

That you will call tiling and set the default value to 1.

And this only works of course for Tyler ball, materials, not for the

other ones.

And then if you add a texture, coordinate, notes, just right-click

texture, coordinate and a multiply node.

You can basically multiply these two and this will give you control

over your UVS because you are

Adding base, you are adding to your texture Corner noting your text

record node, not coordinates note will control your actual UVS.

So if you save this

And if we then go ahead and open up our material again.

Should really just keep it open.

Yeah, if I set my time to like 0.5, it becomes bigger.

Now, normally you do not really want to go below 1 because then it can

give you

errors.

However, in this specific case, if you cannot see anything, when you

look at it edit form like a far, then I personally am not too worried

about it.

So, we got over here, a tree bark.

I would say, maybe let's make it like a little bit more.

Like a tiny bit more, like a brownish color over here, and that should

be fine.

So, I'm happy with that.

Let's now, go ahead and go on with, like actual leaves for which we

can use our IV.

Generic.

Let's just duplicate this one and just call this.

Three branch on the score, the 01.

And of course, if you want, you can like get multiple different

textures for your tree branches to again, apply variation.

However, I'm going to just open this one up.

Have it over here.

Three branch and now it is Moshe just going to be us balancing a

little bit.

We have this one.

We have a normal and now for a subsurface.

I need to add like a little bit more control over here.

Let's open up our foliage master.

So what we can do in here is we can have a

static switch parameter that we will call has sub map.

If these two, we will use this.

However, if it is false, we will use.

Duplicate this.

If it is false, we will use this one which just does not use the map.

It just uses a simple color.

And by default, I want to just have the default a true because that is

the one that we use the most next.

For our roughness.

I can do another, static switch parameter has roughness, map by

default.

It is false.

However, if we go over here,

If it is true.

We can simply have an ATS converts to parameter.

We will use our roughness map like this.

Okay, so we got those pieces.

So that's also good.

I'm going to add one more note, and it is called a lightness note.

Lighting got I forgot what it was called.

Lights.

Brightness.

Let me just quickly, look it up.

Okay, I got it.

I got a bit confused.

I create a scalar parameter that I call light nurse.

And I set the scaling parameter.

I believe a default of 1 and I just multiply this.

So that's why I was thinking of the note, but the lightness notes, he

does not exist in real.

So if you do this, I just need to double-check.

That one is the default and not zero.

So, let's see, see how becomes

I said civil or one that's tricky.

If I do this, does it change know?

Okay, so one is the default.

So let's keep it to one because we do not want to accidentally change,

all of our other textures.

So now we can go ahead and we can save this.

So now, if we go ahead and go in here.

We have our tree branch.

Which uses are for its Master, but where are my o'dare?

I just had the skull.

So okay, we have at a bunch over here.

It now has a roughness as fine subsurface color.

Let's go for like a little bit more of like a Greener color.

We have some lightness over here.

So this is nice because this allows me to basically, because remember

how I said like, it feels a bit dark.

This allows me to just control that one thing that looks a bit

strange.

Is why is this?

Green.

Oh, that's most likely.

Just a subsurface being a little bit too strong.

So we probably want to go into a subsurface sets to like 0.2 and we'll

just mess around with it.

So let's first of all, apply it before we start doing that.

Let's go in here.

Let's select our three branch.

And apply.

Okay.

So this is what we got right now.

Let's have a look here.

See, it's really, really dark.

So that's something that we definitely need to work on.

Let's get started.

If we go in here, first of all, let's turn on that.

It has a roughness map.

Let's turn off that it has a subsurface map.

Okay, let's set my subsurface to maybe, like .5.

Let's set my lightness to maybe like five.

Maybe even 10 yet, set my likeness to like 10 like super high, but

then set my desegregation to maybe like point seven or something, just

to tone it down again.

So, that is looking pretty nice.

I do want to have my colors here.

Let's go to my color and let's definitely.

Oh, wow.

I was literally you already having my color so dark, so I want to go

for maybe like a little bit of like a yellowish tone.

Like that with my color, quite bright, so that's looking pretty good

already.

So I can just look through it.

So yeah, that is actually looking pretty nice.

So we got these ones.

How do they fit in with the rest?

Feel like that.

My colors might want to go a little bit more in the green area XE, and

let's set my desaturation.

Maybe to like .5.

I want the most, you look at it from a distance.

Let's say, .6 x knee.

And my lightness.

I don't know, 5 10 15.

Yeah.

Okay.

So I think 10 is fine.

Roughness is using a roughness map.

So it should not really be affected.

I'll subsurface I can set to 1.

It's a bit strong.

Let's do you see how .7

And now it's starting to look a little bit nicer.

Let's go into our bark.

And that's it.

My color for my bark a little bit brighter over here also.

Get them might be a little bit too much.

Like this.

Okay.

So we have our bark.

Let's see.

What else.

My normal map is in the right direction.

Looks like it.

Let's just double check by going into our known map and just

While looking at it, flipping the green Channel.

I don't know.

Is it in the right direction?

It's really difficult to see.

To be honest.

Yeah, I think if we flip the green Channel this in the correct

direction over here, sometimes it's just quite difficult to see that

guy stuff.

But now that's looking pretty good.

So that's quite nice.

I feel like

Yeah, you could maybe like it increase the size of your actual

branches if you want, but let's just say that we have like 13 over

here and let's not forget that we are going to have like multiple

three.

So once you have those and they are overlapping, then it might

actually become a little bit too.

Damn.

So here, if I do this then you can see that.

It is often fine to just have them not as large because it just looks

better like this.

But okay.

So let's say that we have this one over here.

Let's do another one.

That I will place like nicely here, just like a test.

So that's quite nice.

So that definitely shows how to create trees.

So what I'm going to do now is I'm just going to do one final import

of our 302 and that one should be very quickly because all we need to

do is reapply are materials that we know already work.

So I'm just going to go ahead and rotate this.

Scaling of 1.5.

Copy the name ungroup.

Page name applied to its own little layer.

And now we can just go ahead and we can export.

302 and there we go, see, so that's nice and quick.

And then, all we need to do is just do like one little import.

And let's just go ahead and open it up and just assign our materials.

So, we have our boxer who won, and we have our three branch over here.

Perfect.

Have a look.

See nice little tree.

That's looking cool.

So, of course, you can just go ahead and like create more three

variations.

You can keep more Branch, variations more Leaf variations.

All of this stuff.

Maybe you can have a have them like some debts leaves and everything

in here.

So there's so much stuff that you can do with this.

And it's you can do it also very quickly.

Once you have a base.

It is fairly quick to work.

It's either speedtree, but here you can see that if I do something

like this,

So if I quickly give me something interesting or if you want to go

even more extreme, you can of oh, let's not do that.

That's not change this.

You can, of course, go into your foliage.

And if we just double check that everything is turned off.

Yes, we can import our two trees.

And we can set the size from 0.72 1.4 or something like that.

With a non, let's not do a kind a pitch.

But now if we just go ahead and go into our bank mode.

You see, you get very quickly create an entire forest.

And if you just remember that, this is only like two different trees

with one single Branch texture.

And it already looks like this.

Then you can imagine that.

If you have like more variation, it will look very nice.

But okay, so that is pretty much it.

I'm going to go ahead and get rid of these ones over here just because

I don't really need them.

And I would say that this is also the end of our

Our real-time Parts over here.

So we now went over on how to create all of our foliage, multiple

different variants of form, plants to flowers, to water plants, to gas

longer, gasps Ivy and also three.

So and bushes all fours or shrubs.

So I think this will give you a very solid overview of everything that

you need to know to just create like a basic scene with foliage inside

of Speed, 3 to use in your levels.

Now, the next few chapters, they will be bonus chapters, what I'm

planning to

To do is I'm going to create like a little forest scene with a lake to

also show you like an outdoor scene.

Because right now if we just show the tunnel it might not look as

nice.

So that's one last thing that I want to do.

I want to open up my tunnel.

So let's save my scene.

And then what I like to do in here is I always like to just have like

a tree sitting at the top to kind of like break up.

Just how things look so I can go in here and I can, for example, grab

301.

And I can see here.

So if we just have like a little tree and maybe you want to have like

another 30 to like sitting next to it, like, a bit further away.

You can see that over here.

That just looks nice to have like a tree sitting in here.

And maybe like moving it around a little bit.

But anyway, that's pretty much it.

So here is already one final scene.

And now let's go ahead and continue to the bonus.

And at the very end.

I will do a quick out.

So if you want to like just have a quick overview of everything we've

learned and maybe like some additional information.

So let's go ahead and continue to our bonus.
