All language subtitles for 13-Creating Grass Variations

Okay.

So now that you have a base class done over here.

The nice thing is that we can pretty much use this setup for all of

the other glass.

So what I'm going to do is I first of all want to just create a quick

variation of this that is like a much larger patch.

So for that, we can just go ahead and well, first of all, save the

scene and then simply do a save us and we can make this glass basic on

a score large over here.

And if you want, you can do underscores here for one or something.

I kind of broke my rule.

Ooh, because I forgot to do that, but now with this one.

All we need to do is we just need to go ahead and go over here in our

generation.

And we basically want to go ahead and just make the last to be quite a

bit larger to like the size that we want and then of course is

increased like the amount.

So we are increasing the numbers.

So now you can see that we have like a large patch.

Now once we get to something this large, you do want to introduce a

little bit more variation.

So let me first of all.

Play around a little bit more over here with like the pet show.

Yeah, that's looking pretty good.

But as you can see, everything is pretty much the same height.

There's like some small variation, but it is not very nice.

So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to go to my size scale over here

and just press the little button next to it for our graph.

Let's get started by, first of all deucing our guards B at like the

end and then I'm just going to go ahead and I'm going to make this

really irregular.

Like over here.

Because if you place it very closely together, even though it's goes

from the center, to the outer side, when we place it this close

together.

It kind of like just randomly.

Like what kind of noises randomly randomizes?

Yes.

That's maybe not the best explanation.

But as you can see over here now, we just have like a bunch of

different cars, B and stuff like that.

And let's see.

So rotation.

We don't need to do anything, but we can go into our let's see.

Another skin probably although in our skin.

We might want to just like introduce a few more of like the larger

bits and maybe like push this further out over here so that you have

like a few more of like this.

Lee large gas B here in the defamation.

I just want to go ahead and like mess around with the folding and the

curling like a little bit more curling.

We don't want to do too much.

But once again would like the folding or let's say like a twisting,

you can use over here these sliders if you want.

I quite like to also play around a little bit like my vertex and let's

see.

So we have our orientation over here and our orientation.

We can

Yeah, we can actually play out with our line a little bit by doing

something like this, but just giving it like some Randomness and it

may be at the outer side.

It would be nice if they are like kind of sticking underweight if you

want to stick them out and then over here.

So we just basically add a bunch of random variation like this.

And I can see that everything is just like a lot more irregular, which

will look quite nice for glass and maybe I'm just going to go ahead

and set the last a little bit in.

So there's a little bit denser over here.

So yeah.

Like that.

We can just have like a larger gas patch liked it.

So I'm saying like that like this too much.

So, sorry about that.

But anyway, I'm going to save this.

I'm going to very quickly export this to game and I'm going to call

this basic.

Gasps basic large.

And let's go ahead and press save and press.

Ok.

So that's one should do the trick.

Now if we go ahead and go into Maya.

All we need to do is show.

We have this one.

We can just turn it off, file import.

And set this to large Imports over here C and it is already divided

scaling, or it should be divided scaling.

So J.

Let's double-check.

Oh wait, it's just because we changed it up again.

This is getting more and more confusing by the minute.

So yeah, I'm not going to risk it.

I'm going to scale it up again like this, because else we would need

to go inside of unreal again and then again need to change it.

So that might be a bit Overkill.

So let's just

Poop gets rid of the top group and just rename this and then applied

to its own layer, which will also rename like this.

So that one is fine.

I'm not too worried about this.

I can just go ahead and save my scene and I can export this once

again, grass, basic large and because we can just reuse all of our

materials because we are K using the same thing.

We can simply go into and real over here.

I'm going to.

Import cars.

Basic Lodge.

And that's plus import.

This is double check, Okay, C.

So the skating now works and you can see that it is much larger.

So now if we just quickly, open it up, all we need to do is apply our

correct materials.

And of course, right now, I'm still doing this quite slow because it

is a tutorial, but when you do this outside of the tutorial, this will

go so far.

So then it is no problem to out like variations because within like 10

minutes or like 30 minutes, you can create many different variations.

So we have this,

This one over here.

You can see that it is not as dense.

But that is fine.

I quite like if it is not as dense because of the fading we can always

just go in and like give it a few duplication.

So sorry, this is a selection Buck.

It sometimes happens inside of unreal.

What you need to do is you need to select your original and then you

need to click away again.

Like this.

And then it fixes the buck.

It's really strange.

But it's just an Unreal Engine.

5 is still in the beta.

As of the time of saying this or recording this.

So yeah, but yeah.

Basically now you can see that this is really nice.

We now can have very dense gas and then we basically can have the gas

kind, like fading out like this, with our smaller gas.

And now, what we're going to do is we are also going to create some

more like individual cars, which will be great later on, for example,

for like, in the water and everything.

These are also pretty good for in the water, but those will be even

better.

And also

Like again to fade them out and everything but as you can see here

that is already looking like quite a nice and irregular wild grass

patch over here.

So I'm just going to save my scene once again, and now if we just go

in here, let's pick our.

Let's once again open up.

Let's go file and just open up our glass, basic small again, and then

we can later on also do the large.

Or not or should I no wait, I'm going to start with the gas basic

large because I quite like the variation we added to this.

We are now going to create the because that is individual strains.

It is much more higher Poli.

So you can like want to just keep it quite small, but it does look

really cool.

So I just want to show you how to do those because they are pretty

straightforward.

File save as and let's go ahead and call this Goss on the score.

Complex underscore.

Yeah, let's start with large cars, complex large over here, and then

we'll make the small later on.

There we go.

So that's now, save and what I'm going to do is I'm just going to go

in here and I'm going to basically remove these, then adds a new one.

We just need to have one of these because we only have one material,

just call it glass and press.

Ok.

Now you can see that over here.

Yeah, it will be like an error, but that's no problem.

If you go down into

Your skin.

You can already like get rid of these bits and and then leave one

left, which we can make grass.

And now this can be quite time consuming.

So let's add like a few of them.

It would be nice.

If I actually out the material.

Also, let's go ahead and find our materials.

So we found it in Ms.

And then swamp, cars, I believe is the one that I want.

No, wait.

Swamp cars is not the one that I want.

This one was at all.

What's a grass?

So that's fine.

We can do that later.

It's cup.

That's was the bushes.

So we can we don't need to do that.

Where are you?

It is it just car.

Oh, it's just we just called it cause okay?

Or I just called the car.

So it shouldn't blame you for my own not being able to probably.

Name things.

So we got this kind of stuff.

Yeah, that's all fine.

So we got that imported.

So we now just need to go in here.

You basically want to go ahead and mostly focus on these areas.

So I'm going to just have a very quick time lapse where I will be

setting up all of these little meshes and we are going to go for like,

five, probably five different meshes.

Most of them are going to be in the green areas.

So let's kick in the time lapse right now.

Okay, so, all of our matches have now been audits.

So now, I honestly, all I need to do is I need to go to Glass set.

My mesh to mesh cut out over here.

So, this is the first one.

As you can see, it looks like that we went quite white with our meshes

in this case, but that is just going to be because of the scaling most

likely.

So, what I want to do is I just want to go ahead and I want to give

it.

A few different meshes.

So let's do gosh, number two, because number three, grass number, for

class number 5, and actually went with like one extra.

Grass number 6 over here.

Okay, so we got that stuff.

See, it is very white white.

Now.

What I would recommend is so first of all, let's go ahead and go into

our generation over here.

So, our size scalar is fine.

It's probably like meant to be like that.

But I think what is going on is it is probably offered C.

So, let's go to orientation and then here in the vertex amount.

And she okay.

So that's not the one that's see twisting twisting is also causing

some problems because we are twisting it.

Like we really strongly in the previous one but these ones here.

See there we go.

These ones.

We cannot do that strong of a twisting because then since they are 10

and they have less geometry, they will simply look bad.

So that's looking better.

Now see we also have a folding over here.

Which interestingly enough it is all going into like a strange

location.

It's played out to the angle little bit more.

Oh turn on two-sided.

There we go.

That's will matter quite a bit.

And with these ones I'm going to set my size scale a little bit

smaller over here.

I'm going to also make these little bit more condensed.

Like you can see like this.

However, let's turn also reduced in number because else this becomes a

bit Overkill.

So right now we are sitting at like 1500 twists.

So, let's see if we can get to like a thousand or something like that.

To be quite nice thousand.

Might seem very like.

It might seem like a lot and it is pretty much, but for up-to-date AAA

games with LEDs, it is often easy to handle something like that.

So, let's see we got this stuff now we can always

Is go into the orientation and down here.

We can always like mess around with the scale.

If you want to make them like a little bit thinner, but that should

not be too bad.

I cannot see that.

These are really large on the outside.

So let me just quickly go.

See, so this is our size.

So if we go over here and set that aside scalar to be quite a bit

smaller like this, that they kind like flow off a bit better.

And then maybe like over here.

I also want to give it like quite a strong.

Variation like that.

Okay.

Let's set our first to be a little bit lower like this.

So let's add this to like zero.

Okay, so we got that stuff now done.

So it's starting to look already like a little bit better.

So it's very much similar to our grass.

It is still a little bit high and I don't like the entire look.

So I'm just going to mess around with a few things.

First of all, let's try to like play.

How to add our a line and over here.

We also have our scale y scale, and I'm

Probably like he makes it like a little bit lower and I want to get

rid of my Sinking by the way because that is now causing problems.

So that set my sinking to maybe like 0.01.

So we got that stuff.

So it needs to look like pretty decent from a distance.

I'm still not happy with like the size scalar.

It is.

Giving me a surprising.

Where are you from?

It's these ones over here.

I think this one's need to be

like fairy here.

We need to like tone, nose down, and then there's another here.

You can see like the Rings.

So you can see that over here.

You probably like me to, again, give it like a bit of variation.

So that's already looking a little bit better from the top.

Of course.

It will not work very well, but that's okay.

We are most looking at it from the site and to maybe, like, improve

the top you can, once again, as I said, you can do stuff like a line.

Folding in this case folding does not do much facing could also give

you like a little bit more variation.

So if we just try like play, how to this a little bit more and for the

rest, we can also go ahead.

And we can also just once again, mess around with our fault.

Maybe our vertex amount can give us like a little bit more variation

but not too much because else it gets stretched.

I quite like our curl but it seems like maybe I feel like one of these

and I don't know which one.

Oh wait, I forgot to do tessellation.

That's it.

I forgot to do the tessellation on these bits and because I forgot

that that's why the folding is not working as well.

So this one has desolation.

Okay.

So now

If I twist or if I curl it shoot, it should have done it.

It doesn't really look like it has to be honest, like here.

Test giving me some tessellations.

That's fine.

This one has tessellation, but not a lot to be honest.

Like for this as said before, we kind like need to go quite high if we

want to do this properly.

So maybe give a like another layer.

And what we can also do to figure out which one is, is, is if we go to

our skin.

we can, for example, mess around with our

Wait to see which one if we if we reduce this, which one is currently

causing the problems.

I think it is the first one.

Yeah, I think it is the first one actually.

Cos cut out.

Why are you causing me problems?

I gave you more than enough geometry.

I gave you all this stuff and still it's complaining.

Let's give it like a tiny bit more geometry just to see and else.

It is just an awkward folding else.

We cannot really do too much about it.

And then we just need to go into our orientation and we just kind of

like me to reduce the folds amount and everything or at least a girl

amount.

Yeah, see here.

I think it is just like quite awkward that it doesn't work.

You can also create custom mesh if you want, but that would take way

longer to then import them and get them to work properly.

But over here, it seems like the defaulting here.

It seems to work for all of them except for

One.

I need to fix this Ike.

I don't think I can ignore it.

Okay, so Goss, cutout is not wait.

I'm already like losing pieces.

Let me just try this again.

Let's go ahead and add our layer.

Hey, look at that.

There's a bug going on.

See, did you see that?

That, that was incorrect?

That was a problem.

Anyway, I think now it is fixed.

So, first of all grass, cut out, that one is looking fine.

Grass got out to is the problem, so we can go grass, cut out to edit.

Give it some more geometry because I assume that that is the problem

that it is just complaining.

There we go.

Now we can go gasps.

Cut out three is fine for also has problems so we can go to the cutout

for

give it even more geometry, which I don't really like butter.

For now, I'm going to go for like the highest quality glass that I can

get number five has a problem.

So let's go over here give that a little bit more geometry.

And then what we will do is we will once it is in place.

We can always optimize the inside of in view.

And number 6 is also the problem.

So we had much more problems than I expected.

So let's go ahead and

UV present might not work.

Should work.

Totally fine.

Rule number 6 is doing something really strange.

I'm not sure exactly what it is.

Because it should work.

Totally fine.

Let's leave number 64 now.

I don't trust number 6.

It's not really important.

So one, two, three, four, five, grass, grass, grass, and grass.

Call tattoo.

Three four and five and let's get rid of number 6 and okay, so we now

know that it works.

So sorry about that.

It just had to happen like this.

So, we now know that this works.

And now what we can do is we can basically play around a little bit

more with the girl and give it like some more proper curling and

twisting and everything to make it look a bit more interesting.

And we got also going to our generation and maybe

like compressed is a little bit more.

Sushi 0.5, probably.

And there we go.

I think this is like a pretty solid base for our second type of gas,

which is going to be these grass blades.

So we are now pretty much ready to export this and then of course

after that we can just make like some more variations.

So let's go ahead and go file and let's do export to game quite easy

class, complex large.

Yes, that's fine.

Although in the end.

It's not that large.

But these ones you don't really want to overdo them.

So I'm going to start with just like one variation probably, and then,

later on, I can always have like a Timeless chapter, where I will add

multiple different variations because it is not that special anymore

of this.

I noticed that I'm in the wrong program.

So let's try that again.

Let's import our grass, complex large over here.

Now.

Let's first of all, just double click on the name and then just do

none group.

Poop.

Rename this all the to her lair.

Rename the layer.

So that stuff is just it's the same thing over and over and over and

over again.

But that's no problem.

And then I'm just going to quickly match it up with my other grass

over here like that.

And there we go.

That should do the trick.

So I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to export this and this one is

going to be glass complex large.

We do need to set up a new material for this, but that should be fine.

So let's go ahead and let's exports to and real.

So I'm doing this always on my other screen.

So when you hear me talking like that, it's just because I'm doing

stuff on my other screen.

But anyway, so now if we go ahead and import this here, that looks

already quite interesting.

Let's go into a Texas new folder and we will just call this grass.

And I'm going to import my car's Texas.

Just give me one second to find them.

Here we go.

And now if we go to materials we can just go up like that, right cars

and like duplicate it and just call this gauze on score 01.

Open it up.

Let's try again.

These pieces over here.

Here we go.

Let's open up our model.

And let's apply because one going here.

There we go, and we can apply it.

And I should get something like this.

Now.

The occlusion will be quite a bit stronger because we have still quite

a bit of gas in between but it is not quite nice to this one.

I think what I end up what I will end up doing is out this one as like

my glass to be used outside of my water after all because I feel like

in the end this this one actually does look better if it would be

inside of the water.

So we got this one and maybe like with this one you want to like by

default.

Get like a little bit smaller if I have a look at that, might be nice

if I just go in Maya.

Let's make it like a little bit smaller over here, like this.

And yeah, that should be fine.

Then we can make more variations of this later on.

For example, Like A variation that does not have as many grass, B in

here.

That's something that I can create.

So, let me just quickly re-import this.

There we go.

And another thing that I want to do is I just want to quickly go into

my grass.

And if I just grab probably like the Albedo, what I can do is I can

scroll down and I can just change the brightness.

So the Albedo of your gas, you can scroll down and set the brightness

to like to

And if we do that and then play around a little bit more words are

desaturation.

We can at least match it up to be a little bit closer to this class.

That everything feels a little bit more in place in a bit even, and

not like it is two very, very different types of gas because then it

will not blend very nicely.

So let's do like point three point five, maybe no point.

Yeah.

Let's do point three and in our color,

Actually, you know, what a color is fine for this.

Maybe of subsurface scattering know, that doesn't really matter.

Okay.

Yeah, in that case then I'm happy with this.

So we now got this one's also over here.

So we got that gas patch.

Let's go ahead.

And well, first of all, save our scene

And it's quickly art a God complex large over here.

Set our scale from 0.8 to 1.3.

That's my favorite numbers.

And if I have a look, so this one is 2000.

So that's also this one to like 2,000 and then we can just go ahead

and

it's not like a grass patch like over.

I don't know.

I go over here.

And there you can see, is that this one looks like this.

So it definitely looks like a lot denser, and it is definitely like a

different look as you can see over here.

But oh wait, sorry.

It's because I'm adding two different types of cars.

Would it actually looks really cool.

You know, that looks really cool.

So keep, let's keep that in mind.

You can hold shift by the way to just in, do the grass placement.

It is a little bit buggy, in Unreal, Engine 5, but if we just turn off

the little checkbox that only this one will paint now.

It's just not our normal glass over here.

So that's nice that we can like, use this one.

Like that.

Perfect.

So, those are also done.

We are going to do an LED pass later on, but you can definitely see

like the difference between these type of cars pits, which they feel

very, very high quality and because they are all individual, and they

are also quite more expensive and these bits, which are great for like

Phyllis.

So they are great to like fill large areas, but you can see that they

are quite noisy.

You

Cannot really make everything out because they are Tina.

And also, if you look at it from the top,

I know actually from the top is not too bad this time.

But yeah, just in general.

These are great Phyllis.

These are great at if you just need like something higher quality and

just want to kind, like, have them all individual like this and you

can get and you can clearly see them.

You can also see it a little bit like stylized or realistic versus

stylized in a way, something like that because it is slightly larger

shapes.

Okay, in our next chapter, we will start focusing on our water gas.

So that's going to be

These ones over here.

These ones over here.

Yeah, like this one's over here.

So like the extra gas next to it.

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