All language subtitles for 16-Creating our lilys Part1

Okay, so we are starting to get a pretty solid collection already.

We've got some gas here.

Some longer glass cutters and everything IV.

So that's quite nice.

Now, what we're going to do is we are going to just create some lily

pads and also some lily pads with like the flowers and everything.

I think that will be quite interesting.

After that.

We are going to create some bushes or scoffs or whatever you want to

call them.

And then we can start with like our actual Leaf textures and are three

materials.

However, I need to have a look because it's winter.

So I hope that I can even find a leaf.

But anyway, lili-beth C.

Yes, let's go ahead and I think that we will just like place them on

the ground here.

But of course if you have water they would be floating on the water.

So for this, this is probably the first time that we actually need to

go 100% in Maya for this.

So, let's turn off our water gas and let's create a new layer and just

call this

Lily on the score cluster on a score 0 1, for example, something like

that.

So the cluster is that it's going to be like a collection of a few of

them.

But this is all super easy to do.

So pretty much all that we need to do is we need to go ahead, we need

to create a plane over here.

And if we just go ahead and zoom in turn off our segments to get

started.

There we go.

And now all we need to do is we need to

Hide click assign favorite material Lambert.

Such like a heart, a new material to.

It may move it up a bit and then we shoot over.

You have the texture here.

So what did we texted?

Yeah, here attach the comb, we found him.

There we go, and if we just go into color file,

Opened up and we are going to go up.

Albedo over here for this one.

But then, what we can do is we can also go as we can click again on a

plane and you need transparency.

We can also load this one and we should be able to Simply load.

Our Alpha over here and it should work totally fine.

Sometimes it does not but often you're in this case, it does.

Okay.

Perfect.

Now, I assume that this is going to dislike the bottom side of a

lilies.

So what we want to do is we probably just want to go ahead and go over

here.

And we just want to I'm just using my Loop cuts and slide or split

Edge links so that I can like art a bunch of etchings.

And what I'm going to do is I basically go to split these pieces up

like this.

And now if you go into your tool settings, you can grab an edge and if

you turn off or turn on pressure vivi's you are able to carefully move

this Edge over here.

And now it is pretty much just a matter of selecting a phase shift,

click and press extract faces to basically make

Its own object and you want to do that with all of these extract

faces.

Strike faces.

And extract races.

And the nice thing is because these are going to be flat on the water.

They also, they do not need any extra geometry or height or renting.

The only thing I like to do for this is I like to just nicely place it

as close together as possible without breaking our shape.

Because even though this is empty space, the engine will still need to

render this empty space even though it is Alpha.

So it's always nice to just optimize the not leave a very large plane.

So this is dead.

The more optimized, it is very, very minimal in the optimization.

But I think it's also just it looks cleaner if we do it this way, but

I'm not going to go as far as to actually add some geometry in here.

That would be a little bit of Overkill most likely.

So, we have this one.

But yeah, I'm not exactly sure how much expense it is to render off as

an Unreal Engine because normally we, I'm used to having like a

technical artist.

Tell me that.

So I would not know specifically right now.

But anyway, just like this, we have our lilies done, which is pretty

easy.

And then it's just going to be placing them around.

I think the biggest one would be if when we create the actual flower.

So having this stuff.

If we just have a look.

Oh, that's very large here.

Goats, make smaller.

Okay, so you can see over here that yes, they do have like a little

bit of curving.

However for our scene, they are going to be so small that even if we

add those curves in our geometry, you probably would not actually see

it.

So it looks like that it has like a little bit of overlapping often.

Yeah, he also looks like there's a little bit overlapping.

There are Roots down here and it is kind of up to you to see if you

can if you want those or not.

If I have a very quick look because I do need to know before starting

in my tunnel scene.

So this water over here.

It is like very dark and it is only very shallow.

So I have a feeling that even if I add those roots, it would not be

useful.

Like I would not be able to actually see them.

So, I'm just going to avoid them for now.

So knowing that all, so let's go back to our preview map over here.

We can go into Maya, and now we know how to place this.

So, all we need to do is grab all of them.

Turn off, preserve you've ease and just reset your pivot.

So that they are in the center, and then you basically just want to

create like a small cluster and then we can also do a large cluster.

What that what I mean with that is let's say that I have for example

This actually, you know what?

Let's do this.

Let's make them all.

Tiny slightly different height.

So if we go over here, here 0.002

0.003.

0.001.

And 0.004.

Now the reason I do that is this is such a slight difference that you

won't will be able to notice it.

However, for me when placing it it makes sure that I do not start a

clipping into my other mesh so I can just have them like sitting on

top of each other or below each other.

So I'm able to create much do this so I can go in here and I can

basically just move and rotate stuff around and sometimes I just like

to have like a lily just sitting on top of

It like this and then I can just go ahead and hold shift and I can

basically keep doing this until I get like a nice and interesting

looking cluster.

Now, I don't want to have them like too many or too many of them.

So.

I'm going to get started with like a nice small cluster.

Maybe like one over here.

And maybe like another one, probably, like over here or something like

that.

Yeah, he is something like that.

So it's like a very small cluster but it will work.

Totally fine.

So we got like this cluster over here.

Now, what you want to do is you do want to make sure that if you, for

example, go to your phones view that they are just above the surface,

like a little bit above, because this is where our pivot will be.

And this way, it will always be floating on top of the water.

So let's say that we have like a small cluster over here.

That's totally fine.

We can go ahead and we can save our scene and we can already export

this.

So we can go ahead and call this Lily cluster on the score 0 1.

And then we will make a bigger cluster.

And then also one with the flower because these lilies are one of the

few things that we cannot actually paint using our foliage tool,

because they are sitting on top of water.

But because it is water, it doesn't register as Collision.

So it will not properly work.

And also, yeah, you just want to have like free range in terms of

placement so I can go in here.

Here, I can go to my textures.

New folder Lily.

Imports a taxi over here and then if we also go ahead and go to our

assets for some reason.

Oh, God the me to do that.

I'm I press the wrong button.

If you accidentally press the button, you need to go to compression.

Settings are set has to be normal over here.

So I accidentally pressed the effort.

But anyway,

I'm going to import my lilies.

And just find it.

Here we go.

Yeah.

Import all I don't know about the size.

So this size I did not.

Yeah, I kind of expected.

It did not really keep track of the size.

So what I can do is I can just go ahead and go in here and if you

scale this what that will what will happen is it will try to scale all

of them individually.

So just go ahead and click on manip over here and then scale them and

then they will scale them as like a cluster at which point we can just

re-export this.

Yeah, it can be actually a bit bigger because yes, here they are

small, but they can actually become quite large.

So let's just go ahead and scale this even larger.

Just once we have this girl done, we can just fit, make sure that

everything is going around the scale also.

There we go.

There's that look correct.

If that is the LIE, yeah, you know what?

That feels great.

Maybe tiny bit smaller, but for the rest, it seems pretty much

correct.

So little bit smaller last one because I'm a little bit picky.

And then we can import and there we go.

Okay, perfect.

So now that we have this, all we need to do is go into our materials.

You can probably just grab like a glass materials, like a default,

duplicate it and call this Lily.

And then the other one will be like a lily flower.

So we can go in here lilies.

Select these pieces over here.

Subsurface scattering.

Let's set it to 0.5 roughness.

It is on the water.

So let's set this to like 0.2 to make it like quite maybe like 0.3.

It's to 0.25 to make it quite shiny desaturation.

I'm going to set to Zero by default for now, and I'm just going to

save this.

Then open up a model and you guessed it simply apply your material,

which is hidden below here.

Tada, there we go.

Okay.

So that's pretty good.

I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to set my subsurface 20.3.

I'm going to set my base color a little bit down over here.

And then maybe somebody saturation, two point, two point, five point.

Three.

Okay, looks like that we had to go 4.3 after all.

Just play around with it, a little bit until you get something.

That looks correct.

Like this.

Okay.

The normal map is being a little bit weak, but it can be because these

come from texture come so they are probably opengl or not.

Yeah, I think they are opengl.

So we probably just want to flip.

The normal amount.

Yeah, yeah.

See that already looks a little bit better.

So now just like that.

You just have like a few simple lily pads.

And then what you can do is we can also get like a larger cluster and

then we want to just go ahead and create one that has also like the

flower.

So, The Logical ostrich very easy.

So, what I tend to do is identi.

Just do a Shifty.

And then assign these to a new layer.

I got these Lily cluster on the score.

02, of course later.

We do need to have we do need to check this inside of our actual seem

to make sure that everything works correctly.

So that will be like some balancing happening later on.

Oh, looks like that.

These ones are supposed to be in League lots of 0 and 1.

Okay.

Now it works and then for these I tend to just duplicate it.

Oh.

Duplicate it.

Yes like this and maybe like duplicate it again.

And after you've done that, you paid too much just want to go out and

well, first of all, he said, all of your pivot Points and just do it

like some general movement.

To make sure that they, like, change up a little bit and do like some

general rotation.

If you want, you can even select all of these go to rotate.

And if you set the hotei to object, it, they shoot rotate all

individually like this.

See?

So you can instantly change all of the rotations to make them feel

different from the previous one.

But then I can go ahead and go ahead and sometimes it might be nice to

have like one lady.

That is quite far away.

And just quickly like move some stuff around.

Yeah, let's have like some overlapping.

I like this.

You can very quickly create like, some variations.

Once you are happy with it, like this, what you can do is you can go

ahead and go in here.

And then we can go file export selection and we can simply export this

as Lily cluster 02.

Yeah, and one thing I probably want to do is if you go to Lily

cluster, 01 or now, let's do Lily.

Cluster server to.

Actually I want to go ahead and I want to press another shift d and

are these again to their own layer and called this Lily cluster, 03.

And this is just talking from experience that it is often.

Nice to also have one that has way less lilies.

So that you can like, have some more flexibility in moving them.

So,

Here like this for example, and then if you want we can do like a

manip.

We can like move this routes that they changed a little bit.

Like this, there we go.

And then immediately, we also have a lily class of 0.3 so we can

export this.

Lily cluster on the score, 03 and save perfect.

So that's an easy one.

These are always very easy to do because they are just planes and

displacements doing the flower.

However, is a little bit more annoying especially because we need to

change the texture bit, but it should still not be too difficult so we

can go ahead and assign are correct material to these.

These also do not need an LOD because they are already at their lowest

and then what we can do is we can simply

And this is why we want, not that one.

This is why we want to always have them like slightly above the

surface because else they would be else.

They would look like can't really replicate it, good enough, but they

would be like flickering a little bit.

So we got this one and then we also have like this this cluster over

here.

So you can see that whenever we have, like a really dense patch, we

can add these.

And then if we want to, for example, fate them out, just like, we are

doing with the glass.

We can simply add some of these and then they will kind like, fade out

like that.

So, that's pretty much like the idea for stuff like this.

You'll see so you can have like some closet and then of course if you

combine this cluster with maybe like some extra gas foliage and stuff

like that, like we have over here or you would, for example, combine

it with like a bunch of these bits.

You can see that that blends in really nicely.

You see?

So we have these.

And over here we going again like grab a bunch of this stuff.

You're like this scene then in here, if imagine now also having like

some flowers and everything and it will just all look quite nice.

If like one overlapping, that's what I mean.

So it's because these two are exactly the same so it is something that

I always get really bothered by.

So I do want to go in here and it looks like it is this one over here.

So let me just

Move this up a little bit.

There we go.

Export cluster 2.

So yeah, basically, fixing any box that we can see, which for these

pieces is very often almost nothing.

So we just re-import this.

Okay, perfect.

So now you can see now we have like a little clusters over here and

just imagine this being the water basically.

So let's go ahead and save us him.

And now the next stop is and I will do this in the next chapter.

We will go ahead and create a flower.

And once we've done that.

Yeah, I do really like the texture over here, but we simply do not

need complicated text like that because this is an easy foliage

tutorial.

This is the kind of stuff that you would want to make it look exactly

like this for advanced, for each tutorials with like the cracking

everything but that I can spend literally two hours on just lilies.

And that's what, not what I'm going to do for this.

But okay perfect.

So that's already starting to

Look really nice.

Let's save a senior.

Let's continue onto the next chapter.
