All language subtitles for 11-Creating our ivy roots decal

Okay.

So now that we have our main IV done, what we're going to do is we are

going to go ahead and take a slight detour in a slightly different

topic.

So you can kind of see this as like a bonus chapter and that's that I

want to show you how to create some IV Roots specifically.

So without leaves and should like a decal because these often go

hand-in-hand with these kind of measures.

Now, this actually quite simple so we are going to go for some roots

that are let's say that we will have them like growing upwards because

then I can meet the also.

Show you how to create IV that goes in the opposite direction.

Basically, so that is not hanging.

Now.

We have our IV, generic 01.

I'm just going to do a save as and just call this IV on a score.

Roots on the score decal on the scores.

Another one in case you ever want to keep more.

Here we go.

Okay, perfect.

So with this, we do not need a mesh and we do not need leaves in our

spline over.

Here.

We are.

Going to go ahead and go to our skin and set this back to polygons

over here so that they become actual bunches like this.

Yeah.

The only thing is that they do now have value as to.

So they have like the wood material, so we would need to, like,

replace it later on.

So let's unhide.

My trunk.

Let's also go into forces and showcase our Cube Collision over here.

And let's just quickly hide because if you do not hide it,

it's really slow and that's basically just grab our trunk and let's do

a 180 in a rotation.

Although we probably don't even need to do 180.

We can also just change our hoods.

But let's just go ahead and have this a lot like the bottom over here.

Like this and then we unhide this one's.

And now what we are going to do is we are just going to go ahead and

moving this up.

I think we just want to I don't think the rotation is actually going

to work.

I think we need to like what I mean is I don't think we can just

rotate the see we cannot just rotate this piece so we can like me to

do the rotation for these pieces customly.

So let's just move this over here and I'll show you.

Well, actually I don't need to really show you.

It's very easy.

We are just going to go ahead and set probably the stock tangle.

I think that's easiest one.

So over here we have our starts know, this one also know.

So, I guess this is going to be a lot more.

Awkward than I thought.

Let's go ahead and let's do this a little bit different.

So what we can, of course do is we can just go ahead and like here,

click on this little Dot and just delete it, and then just delete

these branches.

Yes, I will always.

Yes, okay, and then, just re art them to out like, some new branches

over here, and then just going to your generation and just quickly set

the mode to proportional, probably, so that we are just creating like

a few new ones.

So, for this,

Once we are actually going to go for like way more punches because

that's what I want for this specific decal because we want to go for.

Where are you?

Here?

You are.

We want to go ahead and we want to get something that's similar to

what you can see like behind here.

So, just like really a lot of stuff, all winkley, and all that kind of

stuff.

So, let's see if we get something close to that.

It will not look exactly the same, but it should be fine.

So, let's just go ahead and have like a bunch over here of roots.

It's that's it.

Our first down to zero and our last down to one next.

What we want to do is we want to go ahead and we want to set our,

let's go to our spline.

Let's set our length.

And that's just randomly do something like this.

That the length basically becomes a little bit of random over here.

Next.

We want to go out and want to set the orientation.

I think, one set the rotation little bit higher.

Yeah.

For the rolling.

It doesn't really matter because we have them on all sides.

You can try and do like alignment, but that often also does not really

do much.

Anyway, let's go ahead and let's go in our shape.

No, not shape.

Segments.

Where are you?

Okay, I cannot find you.

I'm looking of course, for the thickness but so that's the length.

So where is my thicknesses?

I thought it was always a shape.

I'm going to find it in here.

We just call this up a little bit.

So the segments is basically your actual geometry.

So even though it says Hades in segments, that's not the one that you

want.

So we have a linked.

Orientation shape.

Or am I so blind?

I must be 0.

Here we go.

Skin.

Okay.

Wow, I don't, I don't know how I messed it up.

Anyway, I'm going to make them a lot to not like this, and now we are

really just going to have some like forcing them on here.

So let's get started by.

Yes, making them a lot.

Did know, something around 0.2.

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

publish set my length, my general length to be a little bit bigger.

And now if we go into our forces, we are basically going to

Do a few things.

So first of all, we want to have two planar.

And I don't know the cube.

I think we would we just want to go ahead and have plane over here and

set this like really high to like 50.

So we are really like pushing this out over here to the planar.

I'm going to set my start angle even stronger over here.

There we go.

So we got that one.

Now.

We don't need the direction for this but I just want to see if it will

work for us to have a magnet else.

We will just cut out all of these pieces, but it would be nice if I

can have even more branches.

That

To the magnet.

So we can go into our branches forces, turn on the magnet and

The yeah, it does not do exactly what I was hoping.

Like, it does pushes them to.

So, what you can do is at this point, you would be able to, for

example, grab this piece.

And like throw it down here.

It can just be straight.

Honestly, we don't even need this Cube here.

It can just be straight, but it does not exactly do what I want.

So, instead of a magnet, where are you instead of magnets?

Maybe we can try just like the direction that might give us a better

result if we do a direction.

And then if we scroll down and set the angle to 180,

Oh, no.

Sorry.

That's the wrong angle.

We need to go on the sea.

Willy.

None of the angles work.

Then.

I just need to do it manually.

Then I'm just gonna do it like this.

Oh, yeah.

Here 18, minus 1.

Okay.

So we had to go into the minus 1.

Anyway, so we had now, have this.

So, if we now go to our force and try Direction, what if we set a

direction like also 50 like really really high.

Okay, so that does allow me to have these prices.

Don't worry, that they are so sticking so far out because we are going

to basically bake it onto a flat plane.

So that's why I'm not too worried about the amounts.

So I'm going to, first of all, set my number down a little bit.

Over here so that they've been because these are just going to be like

the large punches over here.

Then I'm going to set my scaling.

I'm going to give my scaling let's setup Point here.

So double click and make these smaller and I'll set the point here and

make these small over here is that they are really like focusing into

like the center like that for the rest jumbled.

Basically just allows us to do like a little bit of random variation.

Some

Like this, we that's really far out forces planar.

Yeah.

We are.

We cannot set the plane at any higher.

So let's try something like this.

And now, you can just grab your little branches and just drag them on

top of your branch again.

And then if you hide or unhide them, they should behave the same.

So, as you can see, this is what we have right now.

That is really, really strong.

So, first of all, let's go ahead and set up Plano also really high for

this one.

And our direction, we can.

Yeah, we could do play around like a little bit towards a direction,

like moving it, upwards like this.

And then what we're going to is

We are going to play with the amounts and introduce a lot of noise.

Let me just first, move this down.

So yeah, let's play with that.

So let's get started by just reducing the amount of Lee said or the

amount of parts that we have over here.

Let's set the number two, like seven to get started.

And the way that you should see, this is if we activate our Cube

Collision, this is how we will be baking.

So you will see it.

From basically, this position there is a way to

Turn off this scaling.

Oh, I always forget overlay.

What is it?

Text axis, indicates, a no hide indicated.

There we go.

So when you turn it off, then you can turn off your like the little

guy.

So, this is basically how we will be baking.

So it will be going like from this position.

And what we can also do at this point is, I'm just going to quickly

grab our bark material over here, and I'm going to assign this back.

Okay.

And I'm also going to have Maybach material on my large punch because

this is one of the few times that we will also hear so you can just

replace punch detail.

This is one of the few times that we will also actually baked down our

branches.

So having this.

Yes, that this looking good here.

It's really irregular.

I think I'm going to make it even more.

So if we just because as you can see here, it's like all over the

place, but I don't want to make it look a little look too cliche, even

though it might look good in real life.

It will look like noise if we do.

In 3D.

So we don't want to overdo it.

I'm gonna go ahead and go to

I need to go in here because I cannot find this properly.

So we want to go out and do like our over here are late.

Noisy.

And then you can like mess around to that.

If you want, you can also massage with your early noise over here,

just to give it like a little bit more well noise.

And that's basically, so we got those done.

Maybe make the thickness a little bit thicker.

So if we go to skin this time, I remembered let's make this a little

bit thicker and then if we go as and go to generate and set this,

maybe to like three,

33.

Yeah, for let's do 4 and then the only thing that I do not like is

that there isn't a lot going on in here.

So if we just press W over here I'm going to just do like some slight

manual movement just to reduce the amount of like cluster branch that

we have over here and over here, because that's a little bit too

over-the-top.

I still want to have it like somewhat even.

Because that will work best for a specific decal.

If it is not because this if I bake this it will become a little bit

too much.

So maybe you can even also like go out and like delete a few.

So whenever you have that you just kind of like want to see if you can

maybe move some stuff around.

And maybe, let's delete this one.

Also, in a move, this one over here and then move this one over here.

Like that, and if you want, you can also while you are moving, you can

also quickly just push some of these four words.

Over here to give them like a slightly more favorable position.

Actually, you know what?

Over here, I can actually use a few more.

There we go.

That's looking pretty good.

And you're done one down here.

If you want.

You can also like play rented but we of course we will basically cut

it off at the bottom over here.

So this is what we will see, pretty much so that is looking pretty

good and that gives us a very solid concept of what I'm trying to tell

you.

So, now that we have the stuff, we can hide this, we can also hide the

trunk, so that all that we have left is just a bunch of punches.

And then of course, if you would want to create a little IV like Ivy

that is

Instead of hanging down.

What you would do is you would just make sure that these punches you

would be like, Place less of them, so that you said that you do the

same thing as when they are hanging and just against the wall.

And that's pretty much the same thing and then you would just place

your leaves on there.

But anyway, so we can save our scene.

We can go ahead and we can export this to game and we are going to

call this Ivy hood, decal, 01 underscore HP.

Yes, underscore HP.

That should be fine.

So let's save, I don't care about any textures or anything like that.

That's all good.

So let's press.

OK, and once we've done that, we can go into Maya over here, and I'm

going to get started by.

turning that one off, and I'm just going to go ahead and

Create a quick plane over here.

Set this to 0.

All J to rotate this and scaled up.

And then we are also going to import.

Our IV, route decal, HP and this got its added that again.

So I need to reopen my scene.

I keep forgetting that.

I have my LR D 0 over here.

Edit Sun Group.

Ivy on the score unique on the score.

0 1.

There we go.

Let's try it again.

I'm just going to already import my hyperbola, the order in which we

do this kind of stuff, does not really matter.

So we just want to import it.

We want to rotate it, 90 degrees scale, it way down over here.

and,

Yeah, I guess the order doesn't matter what I think.

I want to just rotate it 180.

I think this this area looks a little bit better and you basically

won't have this in Fontana.

You want to have a plane behind it?

And the plane is what we will be using for our baking.

So, what we need to do is we need to go ahead and we need to create

our plane.

Because we have any segments.

We don't need that and this will become a decal.

So if we just go ahead and

scale it.

We can move it.

And now on the sides you can kind like decide what you want to do.

If you want to scale this big enough so that you are basically hitting

both sides and nice thing.

If you do this is that you don't have to make a tileable because a

decal doesn't have to be dialable.

The only thing is that we will have like some more empty space at the

bottom, but that should not really matter in our case.

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

go to my I don't think I actually have a few because this is probably

like the

Whew, so if we go to site view, we don't have the cameras for this

that that's no problem.

Like yes, I can create an entire new camera and everything.

But why would I do that?

When I like when I can just kind of like preview it here?

A basic ones, have your plane, not touching your high poly, but still

being very close to it.

Something like this.

So we have a plane and we have a high poly.

So basic concepts of baking.

What you can do now is basically, we can first of all because I keep

forgetting that.

Ivy on the score Hoots on the score, HP.

And I'm going to edit ungroup, and delete that.

There we go.

And now we can, first of all, save our scene.

Add this to a new layer that will call hoot on the score decal on ask

0, 0 1.

And then we can export, first of all, the low poly and low poly will

already have.

It's you've eaten everything and I'm just going to export this in

here.

So let's just call this.

IV underscore hoods on the score LP.

So that's fine to just leave it there.

And then if we go ahead and also export this one, we will call this IV

on the score Hoots on the score HP.

And Export that perfect.

Okay, I am going to use marmoset because that is by far the easiest I

find to do something with like very do something that is sticking out

very far away from your low poly because you can in real-time edit

your cage here, Mom said, however, you can also do this in X normals

or in substance painter or anything like that.

But anyway for mum said, we are going to go ahead and just a brand new

version of mom said super easy.

We don't really need to do much.

I'm just going to go up here and add a new

Take project.

And then what I want to do is I'm going to go ahead and import my IV

Roots, low Poly, High poly by dragging it in here and you can just use

alt left Mouse button to rotate around ultimate the mouse button to

pan around.

And now that we've done this, we want to drag our hyperbola into the

high low poly into the low and then your high polish automatically

hidden, but if you just turned on, you want to click on low.

And first of all, turn off how to bake set this to none.

Because else, as soon as we make a change, it will try to already

baked, but we have not done any settings yet.

And then your max offset, which is your cage.

You basically want to go ahead and want to set this in front of your

hypo lie like this.

So what will happen is it will now bake like this.

Now lastly, what we need to do is we can go ahead and just delete all

of our materials that we have one left, create new material that will

call Bark by clicking on the name.

And drag this onto your hyperbola and you probably guessed it.

All you need to do is you need to go to your textures and dragging

your Albedo map of your back, your Norm map.

No map, okay, weird.

And also your rough this map over here.

So now you can see that we now have our back just like that.

So quite easy.

And now all we need to do is we just need to go ahead and set up our

baking scene.

So I'm going to go in here textures.

Let's make one, that's what I will call Ivy, Hoots decal.

And this is basically what we're going to use to save all of our

Textures in.

So let's copy that location and then down here into the baked.

You want space is location, location IV, hoods on the score 0, 1 and

press save, and now that you've done that, pretty much all you need to

do is actually, I'm saving it as a PSD IV hoods on score 01.

I can just as well save it as a TGA.

So that we can, I hide away import it into in real.

We don't even need to go anywhere else.

We can just totally turn real.

So let's save

And now in the configure.

So first of all, set your samples do 16 next set, your ex.

Yes.

We want to leave up padding on for now.

But for our masks, we want to publicly turn it off.

No way that does not matter.

So let's just leave on the padding to model it as a solution, to case

more than enough.

And in your Maps, you just want to go ahead and configure and let's

turn everything off first, and we need a normal map.

We need down here and Albedo map.

A roughness map.

And we need a alpha mask map over here.

Yes.

It's often mask.

Right?

I'm not confused.

No Alpha mask, that's correct.

Okay, and now if we turn all these four on what it will do is it will

literally bake this down onto our plane and it should give us like

correct looking texture.

So we can just go ahead and first order like save as

And if we just go ahead and save this in Texas, a big scene.

And bake.

And give that a try.

So, we have our TJ over here.

We can quickly go if once into Photoshop and just like double check

our work.

So it is the U Visa flipped.

That's a bit annoying roughness, normal and hoods here.

You can see that everything is working.

We need to flip it, 90 degrees counterclockwise, I believe.

So if we just go in here,

I need to grab this and I need to rotate it.

Yeah, counter clockwise like this.

You are the reason I it takes about it because you cannot actually see

the rotation.

So we need to make sure that it is correct.

And now if we go ahead and Export this again.

And if we then go, in mom set, it will automatically update.

So we can just press baked again.

And it's very, very fast do this.

Gone are the days of that.

You need to wait a really long for like the baking.

And then if I just quickly, double check.

Perfect C.

So now here we have our IV hoods.

Yeah, that's pretty much looking good.

So now we can already told us into a real and all we need to do is

then just create like a quick decal material, but that is super easy

to do.

So, let's go ahead and go into textures, right?

Click new folder IV underscore hoods.

And in here, I'm just going to go ahead and I'm going to import.

All four of them.

Yes, all four of them, and you just need to go into your normal, a

need to flip the green Channel because it is an opengl normal.

And once you've done that sexy D stinks over here, we can close.

Takes a while to close because it is saving like this and if we just

go into materials, we just want to create a new material that will

call decal on the scope master.

And I will go over this very quickly because most of it is just the

same thing over and over again.

You want to get started by just importing your textures over here like

this.

It's totally fine.

All right.

Here we go.

Now what I want to do is I just want to go ahead and do a very quick

constant tree Factor converts to parameter called this color overlay.

Don't forget to make it white.

Multiply it with our base color.

So that will control the color and towed it into a base color.

Next.

What I want to do is I just want to go ahead and I want to click on my

decoy master and to turn this into a decal.

We want to set the material domain to the third decal, the blending

mode to be masked and the black decal blend mode to be D, buffer,

translucent color normal roughness over here.

Oh, so you need to set this for master translucent, which allows us to

Art in a norm map, a opacity map, which is a mask and also a roughness

map.

And then, if you want, you can also convert this to parameter base

color.

Mask.

Normal.

Half - just like that, super easy.

Easy.

Does it.

Now?

All we need to do is just go in here.

Decal Master, right?

Click convert to material instance and just call this IV roots on a

score.

0 1.

And now, the nice thing inside of in real is that the material?

Because it is set to the third Eagle, it will detect to it to be a

decal.

So you can literally just drag it in and you can see right away that

if you wrote it, let's do like a proper snap.

Like this and maybe like scale it flat.

If you scale is flat, you will have less like leftover Pieces.

Just make sure that you don't scale it into the -.

But now, if I move this up, you can see that now, we have our Roots

over here.

Yeah, you can basically go ahead and you can scale this.

However you want, or what you can do is you can, of course, do some

balancing.

So if I see this, for example, what I would want to do,

Is I would go ahead and I would make my colors like a little bit.

Dhaka over here.

And now this is also the first time I'm seeing it on a plane.

And I would say that I probably want to make everything like a little

bit thinner.

So what I will do is I will make it a bit thinner, but I will not go

over the entire process again.

So, I will just in the next chapter.

We will just be done with this because it's like an extra.

So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to set my skin over here, the

parents a little bit thinner and that will automatically also make the

other branches dinner.

So if we just have a look,

Look, so we want to make it thinner and is there anything else that we

want to do?

I don't think so because it is not meant to be something that you

really like see from a very large distance.

So that is totally fine.

And also the great thing about this stuff is what you can do.

You can simply throw it up, turn it upside down to 180.

And then, if you for example, throw it in here and you click on your

IV, so let's just select all of our IV over here.

Like this, what you can do is you can turn off the receive decals.

And now it will look like you have roots that are coming out on top of

everything else.

See so that will out like an extra bit of realism to your IV to have

like The Hoots like this.

And the nice thing about decals is also that they because it is

projected they work on longer shapes.

So I am able to, for example, over here.

Maybe I do not want to like scale down but you are able to basically

place your roots in here.

And because they work on longer shapes you get like some Dead IV like

that and it will just properly project just like that.

So yeah, that's pretty cool.

Pretty cool.

So, this done what I will do is I will just go through the process of

just exporting this energy baking this.

And in the next chapter, that's going to be the cast chapters.

So we are going to make small cars faded, cars long grass.

What?

The glass grass and cars with get AIDS.

So that's going to be quite a bit of work.

But once we got the basics done, it will be very easy.

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