All language subtitles for A_04a_limited_color_palette_exercise

If you wish to practice limited color palettes
here is a quick exercise. here we have a wonderful

wonky hoodie model by Manu Järvinen and this
hoodie is composed of a bunch of materials or

colors, well, each material represents its own color and
within the world tab of the shader editor you will

find the gradient that represents the environment
color. or two colors. you can treat them as separate

colors or as one, that's totally up to you. so
you will have three or four colors in your

limited color palette. then you can open the site
like Color Hunt or any other website with color

palettes or you can improvise it, also totally up
to you. the point is to have something to work with.

to make it slightly more convenient i will open
the image editor and drop our limited palette

there. it's surprising how expressive it can be
with just a few swatches, but that ultimately

depends on the design of the scene. the simplified
and exaggerated compositions like this one

work great with simplified palettes, it's just a
great match. right and here's a cool little tip,

we can hit the E hotkey or select the
eyedropper and then click and drag through

all the colors like this and it will populate
the color ramp with these values automatically...

this may come in handy. now back into the object
mode of the shader editor. so i'm trying to nail

down the colors from... from the palette that
we have chosen and we can do it manually by

simply eyeballing it, or we can use the eyedropper
tool which i will show in a moment. so here is the

eyedropper tool that would save us some time
but i would still recommend to do it manually

the scheme is the starting point, nothing more. and
if you're going to use the color picker make sure

that the view transform is set to Standard. that
is the case because Filmic transforms the hues

for the display which is usually great, but not for
the eyedropper. the exposure is also important to

keep at zero, at its default value, otherwise the
eye dropping capabilities will be mangled. so that

is the premise of this exercise, i guess. feel
free to experiment with different combinations

of colors from the same palette and feel free to
ditch the palette and start from scratch or try

a different one :) finally you can find and download
this .blend file from the resources pack. good luck!
