All language subtitles for 22-Placing our Foliage in our scene Part1

Okay.

So let's go ahead and continue by actually designing a level little

bit.

So you can, once again, see this is like a bonus because it doesn't

really have anything to do with foliage, but it's also important to

know how you can, like place your foliage and everything inside of

when real.

So having this in this scene.

Let's have a look over here.

So you can see mostly like the US.

The foliage is mostly focused towards these areas.

And the reason I did that because I, of course, made the scene, also

in the beginning is because this is where the

Light often hits even if the son of rotates around, these are often

the areas where the light will hit, but here it will be very difficult

for life's ahead.

So I still feel like visual interest.

I added a little bit of foliage but not too much.

So knowing all of that we are basically just going to go ahead and

just mess around with things a little bit and just see what we can

get.

So in here, I'm going to have a look so that ivy

It's pretty much fine.

I have like a main camera angle over here.

What I will do is to put more of an emphasis on the foliage.

I will make this camera angle probably like a little bit.

Closer like this.

There we go, so that I can really feel like focus on all the foliage

here.

We have our IV of here.

That is fine.

I don't think I need any more.

Maybe it might be nice to just have like a little bit of IV hanging.

Oh, and let me just turn off my God twice because whenever I have

those they are the first thing that will be selected because they are

really large objects, but I just want to see if I do something like

this.

How it will look.

Okay, so that's will look a little bit dark, but it does have

something I guess.

If I place it a little bit towards like this area over here.

Why am I running so slow?

Oh my scripts.

And she's only 150.

I'll set it back to 100.

I probably just, like, need to close something here.

Let me just close speedtree.

That might be it.

There we go.

Now, we are going a little bit faster.

Sometimes Unreal.

Engine 5 still has like the tendency to have like a random drop in

fps, even though it does not really wait, make any sense.

But anyway, I'm having this to this quite nice that I just have like a

little bit here in the top corner.

So now

Have a look.

This water over here.

You will not be able to actually see it.

So if you want, you can like temporarily turn it off.

So this is the LG plane, which is basically some algae are placed on

top, but then you also have like the water plane over here.

If you turn that off, you can see that this is pretty much how it

looks.

I'm gonna go ahead and I'm going to get started.

Probably let's go from Big to small.

Let's get started by going in our foliage painting because I think it

is easiest if I do it here and let's get started by just having our

water gas.

And yeah, let's start.

Let's just do a water glass for now.

Let's import these and I just want to basically see how this works.

So it's going to paint.

We have both of these.

I'm going to set the scale to maybe like 0.6 by 1.2.

I want to quickly paint it in just to see how it looks.

Yeah.

Okay, so that's not too strong.

That's fine.

Maybe I'm going to do is 0.7 and 1.5 to make it like a little bit

bigger density.

Let's set this to like around 300 over here and let's say that we have

like this scene over here.

So I would be able to.

I will be able to paint like that.

That's fine.

Now, let's go ahead and just these are like, the final settings.

I did it quickly in like the

These spots right now.

I'm really going to just go in and do like proper settings.

So a line to normal should be fine.

What the airline to normal does, is whenever we paint on here.

It will just basically go in the direction of whatever direction we

are painting on.

I do want to do that on the pitch.

Let's say 10.

No, too much.

Five.

Yeah, here we go.

So 5 is looking pretty good.

Okay, so we now got this kind of stuff.

And now I'm basically going to just use this as a cheat because in

this scene, I already spent a lot of time like looking at things and

planning and everything so I can kind of like use that to my

advantage.

And what I'm going to do is I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to

have another window few pots and I'm going to have a second few pot

and the reason I want to do this is that if I set my my camera angle

here and let's just press G in here, too.

I can basically see what I'm doing and I can immediately see that.

Well, actually, I will have another camera angle.

I will also have see this camera angle over here.

So I'm going to use this one for now, but I'm having this on my other

screen and this is just that I can easily see where I'm actually

placing stuff.

One second.

Let me just quickly.

So this angle a little bit lower.

There we go.

So, now that we've done that, I can go ahead and I can go in here and

I can start.

For example, like painting in sometimes, it might be nice.

If you just go to like, unlit mode, just make things a little bit

easier.

And I'm basically just like, filling up this space over here.

And let's see.

I want to go and like, have it.

Go down here and I keep looking at my other ankle and my Adela.

Screen.

And I'm just randomly adding like a bit of stuff mostly around like,

this area.

So, I kind of like to have this in almost like clusters.

So, it will be just like random clusters where we will have these

plants.

And also, of course, stick to the water a little bit over here.

It's sometimes a little bit annoying to align by normal.

So sometimes you want to turn off alignment normals that when you

paint in here, it will still just like move up.

Like this.

I'm going to make this like a little bit less over here.

Because it's a little bit too intense.

Yeah, let's actually let's reduce these these amounts and instead of

like having it really strongly in here.

What I want to do is I can't like want to just move this along these

areas.

I know that there's no water here, but you will not really be able to

see that very clearly.

So I can just like kind of fill this up over here.

And then, I'm going to just nicely fade this out.

A little bit like this.

So we are kind like fading it out.

And this does require a bit of playing around like, what I'm placing

now, I might end up later on just like, removing it again and just

adding more, but I first watched just want to get like a base in seat

as sketchy.

You are first of all sketching in like a like a base to make sure that

everything looks pretty decent, and then after that, you are just

going to go in and do like some proper work.

So over here, I like want to have a little bit.

I guess I actually want to go to public, keep this open so that I can

probably see through it so that I can kind of like see the rest but

over here just around like these areas.

I'm going to go ahead, and I'm going to just

Go these pieces.

I don't know why my PC so slow.

This really slow all of a sudden.

And should not do that because this scene should easily run on 60 FPS.

So I don't know exactly why.

So there will no, there will be no water plants here, but maybe if we

just go ahead and

she's if I go here that not, I don't really like the look of it

because these are like Willie straight pieces, so,

Maybe like do something like this.

Yeah, that's quite nice.

So here you can see right now.

I'm having my resolution set to only 50.

So and the reason I'm doing that is just so that my seen runs a little

bit faster, but I quite like that.

So that's looking quite pretty cool.

I'm going to also have like a little bit more down here in the corner.

And maybe like a douche the amounts over here.

So down here, that's looking pretty nice.

Let's just quickly.

Like remove the amount or the large amount in its at my maximum size

to 1.

And then like are they back ins that we get like a little bit of like

a more nice of Fates that this is a little bit small on there.

You can see that over here, you get like this effect.

So over here like we have some water plants is fine down here.

I don't really like, but definitely, I don't like this one.

Just this just sitting here.

I'm going to probably like reduce this amount and then maybe like

painted in like a few smaller ones.

Over here.

Yeah, maybe like painting a little bit like this and I don't know,

maybe also actually, for those ones.

I want to go back to 1.5.

And maybe like, do so.

I'm erratic.

You will barely be able to see these.

So I just want to kind of have some filler objects in here.

That should be fine.

Here.

We can go also like out here, and then, I'm going to bus.

Just like some field of objects like this.

So these are like definitely like the larger largest objects and then

I volunteer I got like want to avoid having them so maybe like a

little bit but I can't like want to reduce the amount because you

would think that the light we have trouble hitting in these areas.

So maybe over here like a little bit and now you can see that we

already get like quite an interesting look down there.

So having that one done, I'm now going to turn these off.

And now I'm going to go ahead and move on to.

So the Lily clusters we will do with hand placement.

Let's do our grass complex over here.

Let's do that.

One.

One, the to 0.82 1.4 with a random pitch of five again and a slightly

bigger.

Brush size, maybe like 50.

Let's see if I paint this.

Okay.

I need to have like a lot more.

So first of all, I need to set my scaling more.

So let's set the scaling from 1 to 1 point 4 and let's set our density

to like 500.

It's because of the water.

So the water is making it sink down.

So that's why I want to scale it up.

So let's do one point five to two because else we cannot really see it

anymore in.

What?

Okay, so we got these pieces over here.

That's pretty good.

I'm now just going to go ahead and I'm going to also around here and

harms my seen by adding a bunch of gas and then around here.

Because this is so close to the camera.

I'm just going to wait with that and I'm going to do that very

precisely.

But basically over here, what we can do is we can have like just some

grass growing in between just to enhance our seen even more and then

how to you can also have this grass kind like just scattered around

these areas.

Like this and that will look pretty decent.

I think some scattering around the glass here.

At this point.

It will be so far away from the camera that I'm not too worried.

I'm going to.

Let's like, sometimes I like to like, bleed out across like this, that

it is kind of almost like trying to connect to each other.

Through the clouds, but it's not completely connecting like this.

So that's looking pretty decent and now you can see over here.

Also that you let me make this a bit smaller.

Come on, you'll see so you can see like we can see like these little

bits of grasp.

It's over here and there.

So now I'm going to go a little bit more precise in with my work.

So, over here, because now we are getting closer to the camera.

so for this piece, I just want to go out and I want to like

And it's gets rid of this.

Still have some guys here.

And now if I set my brush size, maybe like 20.

Let's have a look.

Let's go in here.

Maybe like it out here.

Have some glass.

Don't forget that on the solid pieces.

We will have the other type of cars also, so,

Because I decided that this one works really well to go along with

these plants, and then, I will have to normal grass and normal glass,

will be sitting on, like the ground over here, but it will also be

kind like sinking in here.

But I still want to get like some of this cause.

And like random areas.

And then once I'm done with like a pretty solid base over here, then

I'm just going to basically look at every single camera angle that I

want.

And they basically just going to Art foliage or chip away on foliage

to get it to look even better.

But this is looking pretty good.

So we got this.

I want to have like something extending out.

So let's just

maybe have like something like over here.

And it's okay.

If I go a little bit overboard, I still need to do my optimization

pass actually, so I will probably do that.

Also.

After this chapter because I kind of forgot about it, but this is

looking pretty decent as like a start.

So, we got like some cars here.

So this probably the extent to which you can see it.

And now that we have done this one.

So the bush isn't everything, we will have on here.

So we will do that later.

We will probably do maybe some custom placement.

Although I am using like different.

Like these ones are weight in a so they are not exactly the same, but

I'm just trying to like,

Change things up a bit.

Let's go ahead and get started with probably like, our basic are so

over here.

We have our basic and are large.

Let's that should not really be a difference between the two shooter.

No, and I especially like a low.

Has Lucien not one second.

Let me just

come on Allah.

Whenever you have to fold each thing on, you cannot select it.

So let me just quickly turn it off and let's go back into foliage.

I'm going to probably go for just like the basic one because in terms

of like polygon count, it does not really matter.

So let's do one point five.

22, which a random page of maybe like five again and a density of once

again like 500.

So the brush I stood around like 50.

Oh, no.

Wait, that's too much.

Let's do 30 and I just want to see how this works.

So if I go in here,

I want to see if this is like too much or too little, I would set my

density to maybe like 1,000.

Let's see.

I feel like it is too large.

So let's just go ahead and get rid of this and set the size.

Maybe to like 1 to 1.5.

Yeah, so I'm willing to start with like some really large clumps, and

then I'm going to just fade this out, fate this out.

Let's get started with just doing like some random gas and also in

between here and stuff like that.

So that should be fine.

Maybe at this point.

I'm also going to turn off the light to normal actually.

And I want to also go in and probably at this point temporarily

changed my camera angle so I can see where I am placing the guys over

here.

So we want to have something there.

And then I let's say that over here.

We also just want to have like the grass growing and the grass kind,

like, extends to the rubble because it likes to be in those kind of

places where water can collect compared to where water kind like Fades

out.

Be careful that we do not sink too much too.

The side over here.

And then over here, we can just fill it up because this will be just

like the corner.

So you can just kind of like art a bunch of stuff in here.

See, so we got like some God and then we are just going to like kind

of flow.

The cars over.

Over here.

and maybe like just have its guide like going,

Toys, he's different.

Locations.

Maybe I'm going to temporarily set.

My did density to like, 2,000, go in here and just like, art a bit

more.

Okay, 2000, might be a little bit too much.

So 1000 again.

So it will have like some bits of grass here and they're mostly out

like the corners over here.

So that's pretty good if we do that.

So it will be like around these corners.

Also, maybe like in these areas over here.

We will have some gas going.

And then what I will do is I'll Stones.

I will probably I will do like a few bushes that I will shops that I

will have very small and then I will add like some Ferns and

everything and think that will work quite nicely.

But anyway, so over here so we have this and now once we get to this

point you honestly you probably won't be able to really see it anymore

because of the

Thinness of the gas.

So here C.

So we can see like the car sitting here.

So that's pretty good.

We have like some nice bits of cost.

I'm going to make the cars a little bit denser in these areas over

here.

I'm fine with it, fading out and I will see if we can maybe do like a

tiny bit of course over here, but it will probably

Yeah here.

So by this distance, even if you do it like on here, you probably

won't be able to see it.

Now.

You see almost nothing and it's just it just has to do with this fact,

of course.

Right now.

If we go to like 200 you are able to see it a little bit longer, but

even from that distance, it's still it cannot hold up because it's

simply too thin of an alpha.

So let's go back to 100.

However, over here.

I am going to go ahead and I'm going to set my density to 2000.

I'm going to push the amount of gas that is in here as if that this is

like really just like a lot of gosh is growing here and stuff like

that.

And for my car, I can't like just need to play around with this a

little bit later on.

To see if I can hear like remove it a bit more.

And also like with these plans over here later on, I will just clean

it up.

So that's no problem.

Maybe like a little bit more cars in these areas, especially because

it's really dark in this area.

So you cannot really see it.

So then it would be nice to maybe like increase it.

So let's do something like this.

Let's get my density now, back to 1000 and now I'm going to turn on my

align to normal and I probably just want to like in some of these

cavities.

I want to push in a little bit of gas because it would make sense that

it like gross in these areas.

This is a little bit annoying over here.

As you can see, it is trying to go on top of these metal bits.

So you kind like need to just be careful and see if it looks good or

if it looks really bad.

Whenever we go like that this point over here.

You probably cannot even see.

The guys anymore, but I'm just going to like some of these hot spots.

I want to just go a little bit of cars.

Here's another one.

And whenever we cut out to really do it because of these bits down

here.

Yeah, I got twice to like set it below.

See what if we cannot do it.

Then we can always just do like some manual placement.

Here, you can see that like over there.

It's a little bit difficult.

But then later, we can just do some manual placement and stuff like

that.

Let's see.

At this point.

You cannot really see it anymore because it's outside of the camera

angle.

Over here, it's would be nice if we just have like growing up a little

bit.

So we're just trying to make this feel like it's really like nature is

really taking over all of these pieces over here.

I don't know if over here.

It might look nice.

Yeah, looks pretty decent.

But I'm not sure.

We'll see we'll see how good that it really looks.

When we have fill on the resolution to none.

Just like over here on like the out ends.

I don't really like it.

But okay, let's say that we have something like this over here.

Okay.

I'm actually going to remove this part but it's a base.

We are going to, of course, work on this more later on.

So, what I'm going to do now is I'm just going to go ahead and I'm

1000 already.

Wow.

I'm going to set my minimum maximum size a little bit smaller to like

0.82 one.

And then I'm just going to go in here.

No, tune.

Awful line to normal.

and I just like want to

give it a small fate.

In some areas may be set my brush size to like 20.

And then set my density to 1500.

But I just want to make give it like some smaller grass bits here and

there.

I don't know why.

Come on.

Some reason, it does not want to paint in this area.

That's strange.

But okay doesn't really matter because probably outside of the camera

angle.

There we go.

So just give it like a little bit of like a fade here and there.

And that should do the trick.

Okay, so we got those done.

Now, what we will do in the next chapter is we will get started or

focusing over here these piece and also our, of course, out some water

lilies.

So let's see what we have so far.

Let's save our scene, go temporarily closed, my other view, make this

one, a bigger camera angle lids.

200, and let's have a look.

So if I see this

This looking pretty good.

Like you can see like it's nice and dense over here.

Also, I want to change my materials a little bit.

I don't really like the cars on here.

So we might want to like change that around.

We also have this angle here C so you can like see some nice dense,

foliage going on.

And over here.

We can also like she'd going so I'm really like I'm off on purpose,

adding way more foliage than I did in the original because the

original is really tone that tone down.

And of course in the original, I spent like two to three hours on the

foliage painting.

Make sure that it's absolutely perfect.

So, of course doing it in 20 minutes here, you cannot get the exact

same result, but that's looking pretty nice.

Its own thing that I find too bad that the cat, the cat tails maybe

because they are too dark.

So I kind of like want to increase those.

But anyway, let's save our scene and let's continue with this in the

next.
