All language subtitles for 09-Creating our Unique Ivy

Okay.

So what we're going to do in this chapter is, we are going to go ahead

and go over how to create very unique looking Ivy, that is

specifically based on your level.

For example, like having IV go over here.

That's the one that we will be doing.

So, this is great.

If you like are making something very specific and you just need to

have the IV going in, like very specific ways.

For example, also like on the car, would be like a great one to like

have it grow over here.

Now, this isn't too difficult to do.

It's just like a little bit of like a workaround, but we can still use

the IV that we already created.

So first of all, you would need your model.

Now.

I assume that often you are ready, have your model just sitting in my

or whatever 3D modeling program.

You have because you made it yourself.

However, if this is not the case, you can go ahead and go for example,

over here, inside of Unreal Engine.

And if you just select your model, and I'm just going to go ahead and

I'm going to XE, look it up in the Explorer over here.

And then all I'm going to do is right click.

Acid actions and exports.

And I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to export this easy foliage,

oops, wrong folder and if we then go ahead and go to exports from

unreal and just call this.

Yeah, ceiling whole a, it should be fine.

So, let's just press save and yeah, it's all good.

Okay, so we got that one.

Now, we should be able to just wipe it away.

Get it into Unreal, Engine.

I hope that it's all looks correct, and if there isn't

Anything strange going on.

But let's go ahead and do a file and do a save as and immediately like

safety says something else.

Just in case I'm going to call this IV underscore unique underscore,

01 and I always do the other one in case I have like another

variation.

I want to make later on because I can often not make up my mind.

So we have that done over here.

Now.

We want to go ahead and want to go up here to Collision art or no.

Sorry.

That's Collision, not

It's do it over here.

It changed a little bit since it will engine 8, so file, and let's

just do a normal import mesh at set and we are going to go from and

real ceiling.

Whole a open it up.

Okay, so that has loaded in fine.

It looks like.

So let's see how it goes.

Let's now go to go to Collision.

Or forces.

I have forces geometry.

Ceiling whole day.

Okay, you know what?

I'm going.

I'm just going to go out and I'm going to temporarily hide all of this

stuff.

Over here.

So we got this one, be ends, really, really large.

So let's just go ahead and fix that first.

Now, if we go ahead and just go down here.

We have a force, we have a geometry.

that used to be like,

Skating here, but I I got him.

I would like, oh, yeah.

Here transform.

There we go.

Here it says from, that's the what I meant.

So let's do 0.1 in a uniform scale and that should scale it down on

all sides.

And I just want to, okay, I guess I do need to actually have a look.

0.0., I need to go even lower because I want to kind like have it fit

along this B.

So let's do 0.01.

Is that too much 0.02?

Shilpa shelter should be fine.

Now.

One thing I am worried about is that we have these Alphas over here.

So, to be very honest, I think that this mesh, specifically, we just

want to go into my are remove these offers because these offers they

are this stuff over here.

That's not actual geometry.

This is just a plain.

However, that means that inside of Speed 3, it will just read as a

normal plane, but we can already places into position that is no

problem.

So we got this one.

I'm going to go ahead and set my angle.

290 over here.

So that's also good.

So that we have this and then you can kind like place in place and for

us it works almost like the cube.

So we got this stuff over here.

It's just like, it's a little bit more fiddly to get everything

working.

So I'm going to go inside of Maya, save my scene, and it's just create

a quick new scene, and I'm just going to go ahead and I'm going to

Go file and import and I'm going to import, oops.

Our ceiling over here.

And just leave it the same scale that it is before.

All I want to do is I just want to go in here and quickly, double

click and choose, delete around the area that I want to actually have

my foliage, which is just this area.

I don't, I'm not going to delete it everywhere, but I want to delete

anything that I do not like like for example, this place.

And to be honest.

I'm also going to delete these pieces because sometimes the Collision

Works a little bit funky on like really thin.

Pieces like this.

So if I do this, at least they will not be as thin and let's see.

Just in case.

I'm also going to like you move them over here.

So that's fine.

And maybe also remove this one.

There we go.

That should give us more than enough space.

And if we then override it, we can just reload it inside of unreal.

So, we can just form and real ceiling hole over here.

And now, if I go in here, I should be able to Simply press the reload

button on my meshes.

There we go.

So that fixes dead.

Next stop, just out like a nice gray material over here, and now we

can get started.

Okay.

So what we are going to do for this is we are basically going to hide

everything and start with the very base.

Which going to be a tongue and you probably guessed it.

So this time we just want to go ahead and press W and we want to move

it over here and then you can also choose like the scaling and

everything.

So yeah, I think something like this would be nice.

So it lets see it falls off.

Want to have it.

If I let's see that our main shot.

Our main fold shot will be something like this over here.

So, it will fall off on this side.

You're on this side and in between here, that's where I want to have

fall off.

So make a plan of how you want this to look.

So, that should be fine.

Once you've done that you can go ahead and can go to the second one.

So you can press hard on height on this one.

And what we're going to do is we are going to basically get rid of a

cube Collision over here and instead we are going to go for our

ceiling whole a collision over here.

So we got those then what we can also do is we could also just like

first of all like make them not as strong, to be honest, the ceiling

whole Coalition.

We might not even need it.

We might just need to go.

Of the, or like a direction.

To be honest.

If I do ceiling own or no?

No, sorry, we do need because the the direction is too strong.

So, without a collision, it doesn't know that it cannot go to it in

that case.

Let's do a little bit of boats.

Let's do our ceiling whole collision at 0.2 and then we will have our

Direction at zero point.

Yeah, I think actually, that was fine.

See 0.25.

And now what we can do is we can just go ahead and once again, click

on them, go to notes.

And let's say, let's make this one like a bit longer.

I just want to make all of these longer because I want to have them

like kind of hanging out.

It's an interesting side angle.

I'll see if I can like improve.

How they behave.

Because right now, they are sticking out a little bit too far.

Oh God.

Didn't mean to do that.

She meant to push it like this here.

Let's do this one.

This one actually, let's make this a bit here a bit longer.

Who that's quite nice.

Let's do like a start angle.

So I so we are going to have this one like hanging over you and then

it is quite nice that we still already have like a few branches just

sitting in here.

Like that's so let's see how far out do I want to have this?

Go to like one of my camera angle so that I can see?

Okay, so that's really low.

So if we look at our reference, it was actually quite a bit higher

quite a bit longer than I wanted to do.

So, let's go ahead and make these xe a lot longer over here.

With a length.

This one.

I don't know why.

This one is.

And giving me such a strange looking.

You can also by the way, you can like, set the settings customly.

I believe, on top of everything.

Whenever we have notes over here.

We'll see you like we can do size of parent and stuff like that.

Start of all, maybe I can.

No, I cannot alignment also not.

It's too bad that I cannot, I do not think we can do it with forces.

No here.

So, that's too bad.

I hope that they will alter the future that you can actually have the

forces, like the intensity of the forces based upon your barge, but

for now,

I just kind of like need to play around with this, so.

Because I want to have this one.

Like hanging, but right now I don't like that.

What it's doing right now.

So it's just kind of like giving me this really stage like these are

all hanging but this one it just isn't budging for some reason.

And I do not really like that.

Because he, I can hold it but it doesn't really seem to work exactly

the way that I want.

That's a difficult one, to be honest.

Yes.

I can just remove it.

So I guess that's something that I can do.

Okay, I can just delete and then just place this one into place and

just make this one longer because this one does work.

I don't know why that one specifically is being so annoying, but

But okay, so we have these pieces over here.

That's fine.

Now, as you can see, if we now go ahead and go back to generator.

That's the thing with our forces.

So we have a force over here, but because we have the ceiling whole,

they have the urge to try and curl back up on the ceiling.

That's why we need to keep it low.

But if we do maybe also display how to that direction, little bit

more, we can have them hanging a little bit longer like this.

And honestly, once you've done that, you can just unhide this one and

you can see

See, okay.

That's a little bit crazy Direction and we had it at planar instead of

playing.

I want to just have the direction and maybe have like the ceiling hole

over here and set that to be like a lower version.

Okay.

So another Direction I kind of that's a little bit annoying that it's

giving me these bows.

I don't like them because that's not how IV would go.

So IV would not really have these.

Bose over here.

Now, there is another force that I can sometimes twice.

If you go to forces art and like a magnet and basically what this one,

yeah, it will just be attracted to the magnet, which Herm can

sometimes like the little bit stronger here.

So if I do that, it gets attracted to the magnet, but then doesn't

look like it is working this time.

Let's have a look.

So, yes, you can do it by hands like you can manually get

Them to go like this.

But once again, I do not like that.

I want to minimize the amount of time.

I need to work on this.

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

have a look off camera because I want to make sure that I don't mess

around with this for too long because there are so many settings.

Okay.

So, I guess the easiest way to do this to get it, like a fairly decent

area is to go to spine and then set the start angle to be like a

little bit low.

So that is we like flows off like this and then you can also play how

to choke gravity like a little bit over here just to have it down and

I feel like that that is probably like the best way for us to go about

it.

Oh, and we can probably like increase it now over here.

There are still, like a few data bent.

But in order to fade this out, we are going to have basically a

genetic IV behind this to basically hide the fact that over here, all

of these pieces are sitting like this.

So we are going to hide it using, generic IVs now,

Now what I can do is I can go to generate and maybe survive first a

little bit higher over here.

That seems to be a bit better.

But there we go.

So that looks pretty decent.

I think that's go ahead and unhide are meshes.

Okay.

Okay.

Yes that can work that can work.

They are a little bit thick.

However, so lets you set the radio scale a bit thinner and now comes

the big one.

I'll leaves.

Let's see how they behave.

So they definitely work.

That's fine.

I'm going to go ahead and for this one.

So I'm going to first of all, make the size a little bit less, because

it's a little bit too large for my taste.

So let's set the size to maybe like 0.2 ish over here.

Yes, that's better.

Let's see.

So for our directions, what do we have right now, in our forces, we

have a planar which I want to turn off.

So the plane around 14 doesn't work.

Okay.

We don't play that.

Yes, that looks a lot worse, but that's probably because of our

Direction, isn't it?

Yeah.

It's because of our Direction.

So

oh, that is that is that is a bit tricky.

Let's see if our ceiling whole can do something.

Because we are losing, the reason that we are losing so many is

because of the rotations, see.

So because they are planes.

That's how we seemed.

That's why it feels like we are losing a lot of them, that's turns

off.

So if we do planar,

Planar surprisingly does make things look good, but that's interesting

because the planer is just like sitting over here.

So I guess that it just happens to be a lucky accident that it

reflects in a decent way.

Let's for now just turn it off and then let's see if we can maybe work

around with our orientation over here.

to see if we can maybe like,

let's play house.

It like are facing.

To get something that looks a little bit interesting, but still have

it.

It's not so it's really hard sometimes to properly.

See which direction we are going.

Let's see, the up.

In the right over here, that right seems to be quite well if we set

this to the - so that will move things down quite a bit.

So that's pretty good.

And then we have the out which also seems to move things down.

So that's also pretty good.

So like down here, I like it, like, all the stuff that we have here.

I like I just do not like the top.

So I'm just having a think for the top that maybe we will just like

have another ivy plant sitting on top of this.

But it would be great if we can just do like a little bit of just

something.

That's tricky.

This one is this one is trickier than you might think to get it

specifically in these areas.

It just happened.

So happens that exia honestly, even now plane also doesn't do much

anymore.

I think the plane.

What just happened to rotate them in a favorable position.

And what I also think is that a lot of them are hidden here.

If I go in here, like a lot of them probably hidden.

Now, we can try to have a ceiling whole turned on.

And then maybe at like a quite a low level in the hope that it's not

that it's goes towards the ceiling, but that's it.

Maybe like just avoids, the ceiling like this.

But and it's direct.

Yeah, you know what?

I think.

I think this should be fine.

I think I'm going to leave it as this.

The only thing I want to do is I want to go ahead and I want to

temporarily hide.

These pieces and then in our big I want to just go ahead and go to

notes and I want to make this one over here a bit longer.

Okay, that might be a little bit Overkill.

So a little bit less over here in the hope that it gives me here.

See that's I think that will look a bit nicer if it's really like

hangs down like that.

But as you can see here, so I you get point.

Oh, sorry.

There's a notification that is causing my back going to see.

Debbie go.

So, yeah, you can see the point like that.

It's looking really cool.

You get like all of this unique stuff and then if your hides

Your party over here and give the second to reload.

Excuse me.

Collision.

Is it broken?

I think, okay.

Yes, does this work?

Okay, as I said, speed, 39 has come out literally, two days ago.

So it might be that.

The version is not the most stable version ever yet.

So, but anyway, this is looking good.

I like this actually.

Yeah, it's looking really cool.

So I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to save this now.

Over here.

And now we are going to go ahead and go on with the export.

Now, the export that's one is going to be bit interesting because of

course, our scaling is a little bit uneven when it comes to very

specific works.

But for now, what you want to do is you want to make sure that your

height your Collision because else it exports your collision and you

don't want that.

So your hydro collisions are all that we have left.

Is this speech and then we can go ahead and we can do the normal

export to game.

From Speed 3.

Yes.

IV unique 01.

That's also fine safe over here.

Yeah, I'm fine with the scaling and everything because this is what we

will adjust inside of Maya.

So yeah, we got like just need to mess around with it a little bit

inside of unreal.

But the nice thing about this is because this unique one, you kind of

only need to do the scaling once and then you're done with it.

So we have this exported.

And now if we go ahead and just 03, open up our original foliage setup

scene.

No, I don't need to save this over here.

That is fine, so we can add this one over here.

Let's go.

File import.

From Speed 3 IV.

Unique.

01 import.

And now I'm going to do this in a very basic way.

I'm going to do the typical all J2 like Haute 80 here since also like

Hotel.

It didn't interesting position, but that's all no problem.

So we just want to go ahead and we want to scale this down.

Maybe use this as like a scale headphones once again,

But it descale reference does not really matter right now.

So I'm going to have my Pivot Point in a location.

That will be the easiest for me to see if my scaling and positioning

is correct.

So, let's say something like this and then press the create new layer

and assigned select objects and call this IV underscore unique.

Underscores, the other one.

IV on score you on score.

0 1, then okay, fine name already exists.

So that should be already good.

So I can just go ahead and I can export or save my scene.

Export selection.

And we are going to export this to in real.

Ivy underscore unique underscore 01.

There we go.

And if we go in here, we can just go ahead and we can go to assets.

And I'm going to navigate to an real IV unique circle one.

Yeah, we can just do like a normal Imports.

And basically these kind of plans.

So yeah, you just do like a bit of placement.

The reason why engine is very slow is is because it is compiling the

shaders right now.

So if we just quickly open this up so that I can set it up right away.

so, let's go ahead and

find our materials.

Let's see.

Here.

We are.

Okay.

So we have our IV Bock.

That's this one.

And for the house, it's like generic IV, 1, 2, 3, and let's do one

again.

You can, of course, out more.

But guys, so that is now set up.

So that's done.

Okay.

Now comes the tricky part this Kaylee.

So over here, we want to go out and just import our unique IV.

Let's turn on, Snap rotation, and rotate, it exactly 90 degrees

because that seems to be like the most logical place, and let's see.

So, oh wait,

Go down here because we have decals on here.

You're the most decals.

So we just need to scroll down to deter.

Receive decals turned off.

Okay, let's move this up a little bit and now it is just a matter of

basically.

Scaling.

So if I have a look.

Where are my forces?

There you are.

As soon as you go to force and click on it, it will show.

So let's use this one as like a guidance to where the scale needs to

be.

And of course, where the position needs to be.

So I think we need to scale this up a little bit more.

In this really like needs to be in like the center over here.

And then we just need to kind like probably push this back a little

bit or down.

See

now we don't want to push it back.

You can't like once placed over here and it doesn't need to be perfect

of course, but I still want to try and make it so that we do not have

like everything floating.

I think something like debt.

Yeah, that looks really.

Yeah, that's actually looks quite cool.

And you also have like the subsurface scattering over here, which is

nicer.

You can see like to them.

And if you would have like a sun lens flare, you get like the typical

gay me, look where you have, like flare sitting to him.

And, of course.

Yes, we have like the metal in here, but that's no problem.

Because that intersecting you don't really notice it.

So, if we have this, if I would now go in and toe on like a generic

one.

It's still not my snap rotation.

And it's move it over here.

You can see if I turn off my rotation.

Let's set my rotation to be based upon my model, but here you can see

that we can very easily hide the facts.

That we have those pieces over there, just by adding one, extra piece

on top of this and just like nicely placing it here.

Once again, just turn off, receive decals.

There we go.

So that from a distance.

You will never ever be able to see it.

Even if we go like a little bit higher like this.

It will just feel natural.

Of course.

If you go very high logically speaking, you would then need to like,

art, probably like another one over here, and then like another one to

have it actually come from.

Like the outside that that's if you like would go like this high or

something like that.

Then you would have something like that, but that would take a lot of

time.

So we are just going to keep our camera angle little bit lower so that

you don't notice.

But I

Like that, that's, it's looking very cool.

So, we now got these pieces in the next job.

So what we will do is it's going to be a bit like a bonus chapter.

So that chapter we are going to just go over on placing some IV here

to make it look nicer realistic and just shown you, like easy ways to

place everything also play some Ivy down there.

And then what I want to show you as like a quick extra is I want to

show you how to create some, I feel Hood decals that you can use on,

for example, walls, but that you can also use like, in these areas to

have like, the roots.

Running everywhere and stuff like that.

So that would be very cool.

So I'm really happy about this.

And to be honest.

I think I actually liked it more than the original for my original

scene.

Although yes, it feels a little bit, a little bit more stylized, but

it does feel.

Ya just looks nice.

So, let's go ahead and continue with this in the next chapter and

don't forget to save your in real engine scene.
