All language subtitles for 12-Creating Basic Grass

Okay, so as you can see, I made the hoods quite a bit thinner over

here.

So, now that this is done.

Now, what we're going to do is we are going to get started with our

glass, and let's get started with like an easy one.

So, we have over here.

If we go to Texas, Ms.

Forgot.

Which one it was Miriam.

No.

Hay grass.

Yeah, here he goes.

That was the one.

So, let's do this one because these are like, clumps of gas and the

clumps, although they do not always look as high quality.

They are easier to make compared to like the very thin pieces.

So what we can do is if we go in Speed 3, because once again, this is

an easy for this tutorial and speeds, he makes everything very easy.

So let's create a new file and we can just makes a nice blank file.

Although you can see over here.

You have like a glass file so you can kind of already see how it

works.

This one is new.

That's pretty cool.

They have like some new files in here.

So let's go for blank over here.

And what we are going to do is first of all, let's go ahead and set up

our materials again.

So we have three of the rhaegar's materials.

So let's just go ahead and do that and call this cars on score 01.

Grass on this co co 2 so that we still get like a nice amount of

variation grass on the score.

03.

Okay, that is all done in 01.

I'm going to grab my Albedo and normal and on a by C and I don't

really care about the rest.

For now, turn on two-sided.

Go to number two.

Give me S to navigate to it.

Cola opacity normal because we I'm just making this very quickly

inside of Speed 3.

So I'm don't need to have like translucency and often isn't everything

and number three.

Oops.

That's the wrong one.

Number three needs to be this one, color, normal, and opacity.

Perfect.

Now you might have guessed what we're going to do next.

Same thing as with the ivy

Go to your cutout meshes.

And on the first one, simply press edit.

And this is how these ones look over here.

So, yeah, pretty basic.

Now.

What we're going to do is these do needs definitely a little bit more

geometry.

So I'm going to get started by just adding my

You'll just having like a nice Square plane.

And also don't forget to add like your pivot point and then in

tessellation, I'm going to give it probably like to tessellations over

here because we need to do a lot of bending.

If we want to make this look fairly realistic and then just apply them

and that's pretty much all you need to do.

So we have this one, we can go ahead and art.

And then the next one we can go in here and the next one adult.

We do need to do like a little bit more.

Moving around.

Like this.

And then over here, what we need to do is we need to go ahead and we

need to set the angle a little bit and then once again give it like a

bit more tessellation.

Okay, it's trying to some reason still giving me like an extra Edge

over here, which is a bit annoying.

The mean.

Let's try this.

Oh, no, it's getting rid of that one.

The me to do that.

Yeah, there we go.

Let's try something like this and let's apply.

And we need two more.

If we are going to use so many materials, we can just smell use all of

them.

And not try to do the things a bit quicker by, like, not using all of

them.

So, we have this one over here and hopefully, we did with all of these

pieces.

The variation will be enough.

That it does not look very basic because technically, the technique

that we are using, it is a very old technique.

I'm talking, like techniques that are already being used in games for

I know what seven years.

Ten years.

I honestly, I don't know how long, but there's something that you can

see Willie, like the classic games even in like assess great one and

everything.

You can see it.

So, how that time frame.

Oh, no, wait, even a god, Theft Auto San Andreas, you can see it.

So this like the old-school methods, although, we are still making

them a little bit higher.

Poli.

Of course, then they would be in like the very, very old games.

But yeah, so,

And I don't know why.

Yeah, I say very, very old games.

But that makes me really sound like a man Millennial because I'm from

the PS2 era.

Maybe just the PS1 era.

So,

I can understand that there are a lot of people that have like what do

you call like the NES or something like that?

And I just don't know anything about those type of consoles.

So just need to give it some tessellation.

Perfect.

That's one is done on to the next one.

And the next one, just has like one big one and it is oh, hey looks

like that sits out at the text is already sort of like the direction.

So that is pretty good.

Only the angle needs to be a little bit up and let's give it like a

bunch of desolation over here.

So let's apply this one.

I'm not sure how many, how many times you were going to use this one?

But the nice thing is that you can control how often you want to use

one specific material.

And finally, we are just going to go ahead and grab this one.

Just get rid of this line.

I don't need it.

Sometimes I miss click.

So that is also new in speech.

We nine it is that it is trying to automatically already like set your

masking over here and set your angle.

However, looks like that.

It is not always good.

Maybe if you have like a single leaf, it it will be pretty good.

But for this one, it's not yet.

Good enough for us to use so we can just go ahead and do this.

And then finally, the last one.

We can go ahead and we can set that over here.

Just going to give it like an extra segment.

You can see me sometimes, like get it like cutting off very small

pieces, just to make everything fit a bit better.

That's in the not that much of a problem.

Like you will never be able to see that.

Over here and don't forget, like, later on.

We will also have an optimization chapter where I will do like a bunch

of optimizations.

But anyway, so perfect.

So this is now done.

Now the way that this is going to work inside a speed trees, very

easy.

So what I like to do is, if you want, you can add a Zone over here and

this is basically like a circle in which we will have all of our gas

or honestly nowadays.

So this used to be the way I think nowadays we can even just leave it.

So we basically just want to go ahead and

Tweet away at a leaf.

Because if you aren't a leaf after the tree, it will basically here.

Can I zoom in?

There we go.

Let's go that they did this.

So basically what we can do with this is we can just add a bunch of

leaves and then take it from there.

So here you can set like your number.

Now, the numbers, they will always like go around like this and if you

have a Zone it would basically contain it.

But nowadays, you can just go ahead and do this to do like the last

and the first.

So what we're going to do.

This is first of all, let's see.

Set this to probably like proportional and then you can like art quite

a bit of them.

Then.

What I'm going to do is I'm going to get started by already starting.

My first cars over here and having my first cars.

We looks like that.

We need to rotate this to d.c.

Orientation.

Up.

No, not up.

Right.

No out.

Okay out needs to be to 0.5.

So now it is rotated like this.

Next.

What I'm going to do is I'm just going to go ahead and in my

generation.

I'm just going to already set my scale a little bit higher and now we

basically just want to give the bunch of variation and then we are

going to Art like more Leaf types.

So we got this stuff.

Now we can of course decide to like the number but let's get started

with like one that is not too dense.

And then your first you want to keep quite close and then your last

also like

Too far away and just kind of like play around with it and decide how

wide you want this grass patch to be.

So I want to have it something like this.

Now.

Don't worry.

It will look very bad until the very end.

So we got something like this.

That's fine.

Next.

What you can do is you can also go over here and go for a sink and

what the sink will do is it will sink it below the ground which for

this type of grass, might be good because the grass kind like it has

some Roots so you kind of like want to have it.

Sunken into the count a little bit.

So we have that one rotation doesn't really matter so we can do like

some what is it?

Sweeping is probably like something that gave us gives us our

variation, jumbled.

Also it would give a like some random variation and if we now go to

our skin over here, so here we have our leaves.

Now, what you can do is we can already add this one.

So let's ask for and do gasps.

1 cos 0 1 cross 1 cross, 01 cut.

To and just out all four of them to get started with and then we will

add more later on.

But first, I want to just play around with this.

So we now got our glass and then if you go down here, you have your

folding.

And this is like the big one.

So we have a folding.

We have a curling over here and we have our random twisting.

So this can give us like quite a bit of variation.

Then we also have vertex variation over here, which is also quite

nice.

You can play around with the noise to make it smaller or stronger.

And then we do have some scaling.

Now for the scaling.

What you can do is if you have your wide scale over here, you can

actually click on the graph and if you then randomly, give it some

scale.

So I'm going to give it some.

Let's keep the scale quite large at like the center because it goes

from the center to the outside.

Scale it down a little bit but then in between I do like the sometimes

just go in here and just give it like some random variation like this

which will basically randomizer scale it.

It's that's like a nice work around to just do some quick proper

scaling.

Orientation.

So we have a folding over here.

That's fine.

Our a line is can be quite nice to give it like a little bit of an

outward.

So line, so that when we push this a little bit further in, it will

show that is it?

That it is basically pushed in.

So here you can see like the orientation.

It has a gun out the form, but basically if we go to generate and set

our last be like a little bit smaller and a first

Yeah, we can basically just make this like a small glass patchy.

Now, you can see here.

Now.

It's starting to look a little bit better.

Let's go into our Skin Art.

Another one that is going to be grass, too.

Cause to cut out.

And that's one is a little bit more sunken.

Let's set a way here.

You can see like the weight.

So let's set the weight down a little bit and the weight is basically

how often it is being used.

And then we want to have two more so we can go down here and we can go

gasps tree.

And again, Grass Tree in and second mesh over here and what we can do

with this one's is who these are a lot bigger actually.

Mmm.

You cannot value can of course, scale the individual sizes, but that

you would need to do it by hand.

So I'm just going to leave this for now and I'm going to actually add

those later on when we have these ones.

That's where I'm going to probably add them as like a little extra

around the edges.

But for now, see, this is looking pretty good.

We have over here.

This is

Cassio to she'll give us like some more stronger B.

I want to have these bits mostly on the inside.

So let's just go ahead and set like a point here and move this down so

that it never really generates these large bits on the outside.

So we got that one done.

Also.

The size over here is just like, oh God sighs, but that's looking

pretty good.

Like form a distance.

You cannot really see that.

These are just like planes over here because we have them all rotated

nicely and stuff like that.

So that is pretty nice.

Orientation has said before, like, you can set your a line or so.

I know.

That's yeah, that's is my alignment.

That's not what I meant.

No, not face.

I think it is like

Lights up.

No.

Not a fool folding.

Where are you in?

Generators, just are rolling.

Oh, yeah, I guess it is just all falling but you can play how to that

if you like your rotations are not correct.

And of course, what you can do is you can also go down here, you can

change the generation.

So if I just quickly first save my scene and I will call this do,

let's do grass on the score basic on the score small and then we will

also have got son score complicated or like advanced.

Something like this.

So, as I said before, you can go over here, you can randomize a

generation.

So you can very quickly generate like different cars, B over here

until you get one that you like.

And yeah, so that's pretty much it if you want to like generate some

very quick cars.

So that's pretty good.

I quite like this one.

Let's set the sink a little bit less intense over here.

And let's actually see how this looks.

So this one, it is turning out a little bit bigger than expected.

So this would be not yet would be perfect for this kind of stuff.

And then we will also have like some smaller grass that is just like

going here.

Like see, it's hard to see but there's like some really small glass.

So this one is perfect for like the

B, more watery cars or bit larger?

Now exporting, this is the same.

As always you, save it, you export it to game and you can just call

this cars, basic small over here, and save it like this.

Yes.

It's all looking fine.

Just going to press, ok.

Now if we quickly go into Maya, can turn this one off.

We just want to go file import.

And I will clean this up at like, the very end, Cass basic small over

here.

And if we don't just go out and quickly set it then, like the correct

location, what you can also do.

Actually, if you want at this point, we can also like twice some stuff

out.

So I'll do for the IV.

I did not really bother but just because we are now going to create

like many variations.

If we click on the cards, basic small, we can go up here and set the

scale to, for example 10, which will make it like a lot smaller like

that the flipping.

Which still not work as far as I know, because I already tried them

out.

So, for some reason, flipping, the actual rotation of your geometry

does not seem to work, but we can pass.

Okay.

And the scale should just work.

So if we go in here and we import this we have our where are you Cass?

Basic small here C.

So now it is quite a bit smaller.

And what we can do is we can just go ahead and give this a few twice.

So that is number 10.

So if we now try this once more.

We can go.

410.

Let's do tree and press ok.

Just to make it a little bit more manageable.

So once you've done that go in here one last why Imports?

You see three?

We rotate it.

And I guess that we want to set this to maybe like 0.5.

So lot next time we will go for 1.5 or 0.3.

1.5.

Let's do one.

Let's set this to 1.

So did this might seem like I'm going back and forth a lot, but it's

for its preparation.

It's for later later.

This becomes quite important, or at least it will just make your life

easier.

Let me say it like that.

So just nicer, if we just quickly, do it in here.

You'll see.

Okay, so that's when it's done.

So we just give the quick rotation.

We quickly go ahead and we ungroup this.

I should really Arty uncooked to my custom shelf actually.

Here we go.

So that this up in my shelf.

And now that we have done this one, we can just go ahead and assign a

layer.

Like this and then we can export it to Unreal.

So to and wheel guards on the scope basic underscore small.

And Export and then we can just preview it inside of an wheel.

And then in the next chapter, we will just create like a few

variations of it.

Also create like the more complicated one and stuff like that.

But for now for this one we can also use the same material.

So all we need to do is infectious.

Kate.

It's actually at work all day.

I'm score glass.

01.

02 and 03 because we have different textures for this.

In number 01.

We want to grab our

We don't need the roughness so we can save some space with that.

So let's just grab this.

01.

02.

Ciao, three quickly.

Double check my no map to make sure that it is correct, which it is.

Okay.

And now if we just go in here in a materials, we can grab our IV.

Generic?

01.

Duplicate it and just call this array class underscore 01.

And if we open this up, we should be able to Simply replace.

Pieces.

I am Miss.

I'm missing one.

I am missing my mask.

Here we go.

Let's hide.

Click convert to parameter mask and press save.

So I just forgot to expose it.

That's why it is important to do that.

And now in here, you can just go ahead and have your OB do mask

normal.

Translucency iqaluit set back to White because that's the default or

sub color.

We can probably.

Let's start with like a greenish color, but we can change it later on.

And for the rest, everything should be maybe set the deceleration 20

for now, so we can save this.

We can go ahead and go into our assets and then if we go in and import

because I've got that did not do that yet.

So let's import our gas basic small.

So fine.

Yeah, I'm happy with that.

It's way too slow.

Way too.

Small did not realize that that we are, that we have it.

So small.

So, of course, because we are not really working with specific metrics

for this because to keep the metrics from speedtree to Maya to Unreal.

You can do it, of course, but it just takes a little bit too much to

focus on when we can just do make it easier by just doing this, for

example, but here we go.

So we

Like Argos.

Now, all we need to do is we need to go ahead and we have our

materials looks like we only need two of them.

So, where are you?

Ray Garcia one duplicate.

Rygaard 02.

Open this up.

Replace this one with number 02.

And then we just need to figure out which one is which, which should

not be too difficult.

So let's artists because 01 and 02 the, so that's should be

corresponding with this 010 to save.

Go over here, but G and now you can see that here.

We have our gas and of course, yes, we took the typical glass fashion.

It is really subtle because it is just like one of them, but first of

all, what you can do is, you can go ahead and if you want mess around

a little bit more with the colors just to see,

If that looks good, for example in my subsurface.

Let's set this to 0.1 or 0.2.

So the color maybe like a bit darker over here.

Just small stuff like that.

Yeah, that's looking fine.

And now, what you can also do, which is quite an important one, which

we will use later on if I just quickly save my scene because this can

be a little bit buggy inside of in reel five.

But if we just go over here to activate foliage and if we then drop in

our assets, which is going to be our basic class.

Nice thing is that we can literally paint in the foliage.

Now, let's start by setting the paint density to like, 0.1, click on

your foliage.

And then what you can do in here as you can set the scale for example,

from 0.82 1.3 and it will randomize the scaling.

And now, if I just click once,

Oh, I expected more.

Maybe we need to set the paint density, bit more higher C.

Then you can paint in.

I honestly, expected way more.

So normally when I do this, I get like 500 in one go.

So, I don't know.

Why it is only 6 and that case you can set the density per kilometer.

You can set this to like 200 and that will basically paint double the

amount.

But or we can go like five hundreds even more.

Yeah, and then you can basically like paint in some extra bits of gas

and then it's already starts to become a little bit more nicer.

Now.

We are going to have more and larger variations.

So this would be like something you would use later on.

Let's do 10.

No.

No, I just want to make sure that I have it correct because I'm a

little bit thrown off by how little we are placing.

Because normally, you really place like a lot.

So I guess if I go to town,

Ins.

Yeah, see that's that's more.

What I was expecting this kind of stuff.

So now we already placed seventy.

One of them, of course is hyperbole.

But once we have our once, we have our LEDs, sorry, LOD Stan, what we

can do is they will be a lot more optimized.

So, right now, if we do for example, this and we can close this

window.

You can see that very quickly.

We can just start this nice bits of grass over here.

And just to quickly show you, if I go ahead and I go in here in my

gas, basic small, just to already show you how to do the LEDs for this

kind of stuff.

You can simply go down here and set the LD group to be foliage and

plus.

Yes.

And now what it will do is often it will generate multiple LOD.

So if we go ahead and set a number of LEDs to 3, and press apply, it

will generate LEDs.

If you look at the triangles right now, it is 400 at 0.

Then if we go to one, it is 200.

And if we go to to it is 100 and you can even go like to number four.

So you can go even higher and it will basically have it every single

time and then it starts to Blake.

And basically, another thing is that if you go to not show, go here to

LIT.

Level of detail, cultivation and turn on.

Michelle D.

Coloration, you can see when the species are basically a

Teaching from if you set this to all the Auto, when they are switching

to the different LEDs.

So you can see that here.

This is quite nice and then you can no longer see it.

So you save this and that's basically it.

Now it is optimized.

So now if you go in here, I believe that in here, I can also do level

of detail.

Coloration.

You can see that here.

See,

That's a, they quickly switch to the different LEDs, and I'm going to

keep them nice and high over here.

However, you can always go in here.

And if you, for example, click on ld0 one and you go down to your

selection here, you can set your screen size right now.

It is set to Auto computer.

But if you turn this off right now, when the when the gas is filling,

the screen for less than 0.2.,

2528 blah blah, then it will basically turn to this LD and like that.

If you set this lower or if you set it higher it will turn quickly.

So the higher this number is the quicker, it will turn to that LOD.

So just keep that in mind.

Here we go.

So yeah, basically that is now working.

We don't really have like a distant field occlusion set up properly.

So it does not yet.

Look as nice as it can be for later on but it is looking pretty good.

So like that.

Yeah, we got like some nice cars.

So let's go ahead and continue on with our other variations and I will

do that a little bit later because I'm getting a sore throat.

So I will continue with this when I take a break.

So yeah, let's go.

Let's
