1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,810 Hello everyone and welcome to another video. 2 00:00:02,805 --> 00:00:04,605 In this video we're going to be adding in 3 00:00:04,605 --> 00:00:07,515 a little bit of detail to our modern house. 4 00:00:07,515 --> 00:00:10,295 At the moment, everything is very sharp. 5 00:00:10,290 --> 00:00:11,670 If we look up this corner, 6 00:00:11,670 --> 00:00:14,400 you can see it's a perfectly 90 degree angle 7 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:15,680 and it's very sharp. 8 00:00:15,675 --> 00:00:17,955 This does not exist in the real world. 9 00:00:17,955 --> 00:00:20,945 Everything has a slight amount of bevel to it. 10 00:00:20,940 --> 00:00:24,430 So we're going to fix that by adding in a Bevel modifier. 11 00:00:24,434 --> 00:00:26,354 Before we add that in, I wanted to talk 12 00:00:26,355 --> 00:00:28,595 about scaling and the bevel. 13 00:00:28,590 --> 00:00:30,620 If we select our object and press 14 00:00:30,615 --> 00:00:33,035 N and go over to the item tab, 15 00:00:33,030 --> 00:00:36,190 we're going to take a look at these scale numbers. 16 00:00:36,190 --> 00:00:39,950 You're going to see the scale of the x is 3.4. 17 00:00:39,950 --> 00:00:42,740 Now, this is important to know because if you add 18 00:00:42,740 --> 00:00:44,270 an a bevel modifier or 19 00:00:44,270 --> 00:00:46,250 a lot of other modifiers in general, 20 00:00:46,250 --> 00:00:48,400 it's not going to apply correctly. 21 00:00:48,395 --> 00:00:50,425 What I mean by this is it's going to take 22 00:00:50,420 --> 00:00:53,530 that scale factor and apply it to the modifier. 23 00:00:53,525 --> 00:00:55,975 If I go into edit mode and I'm 24 00:00:55,970 --> 00:00:58,040 just going to show this for demonstration purposes. 25 00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:59,570 You don't have to follow along. 26 00:00:59,570 --> 00:01:01,400 If I select this edge and press 27 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,540 Control B to add in a Bevel manually, 28 00:01:04,535 --> 00:01:07,145 you're going to notice that it's scaling 29 00:01:07,145 --> 00:01:10,535 along the x-axis away more than it's scaling down. 30 00:01:10,535 --> 00:01:12,385 And that's because of the scale numbers 31 00:01:12,380 --> 00:01:14,300 here you can see that the Z is 32 00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:18,430 0.183 and the x is much, much bigger. 33 00:01:18,425 --> 00:01:20,605 So it's taking that scale number 34 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,070 and applying it to this bevel. 35 00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:24,080 So you can see here it's not a plane correctly. 36 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,460 What we need to do is apply 37 00:01:25,460 --> 00:01:27,460 the scale, so everything resets. 38 00:01:27,455 --> 00:01:30,065 To do this with your objects selected in object mode, 39 00:01:30,065 --> 00:01:31,895 you need to press Control or Command 40 00:01:31,895 --> 00:01:34,415 a and then click on Scale, 41 00:01:34,415 --> 00:01:36,325 and that's going to reset the scale, 42 00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:37,880 everything back to one. 43 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,590 Now what happens is if we go into 44 00:01:39,590 --> 00:01:42,070 edit mode and press Control V to bevel, 45 00:01:42,065 --> 00:01:43,525 It's going to bevel the object 46 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,770 correctly as you can see here. 47 00:01:45,770 --> 00:01:47,960 Now, we're not going to be beveling these 48 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,330 manually because that's pretty destructive. 49 00:01:50,330 --> 00:01:51,620 If we do this, we're not going to 50 00:01:51,620 --> 00:01:53,210 be able to go back and we're just going to 51 00:01:53,210 --> 00:01:56,140 have way more geometry and it's just the paint. 52 00:01:56,135 --> 00:01:59,635 So instead we're going to be adding in a Bevel modifier. 53 00:01:59,630 --> 00:02:01,510 Over in the Modifier Tab, 54 00:02:01,505 --> 00:02:04,615 I'm going to click Add Modifier and select bevel. 55 00:02:04,610 --> 00:02:06,680 You can see here that it added in 56 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,350 a bevel to all the edges on our cube. 57 00:02:09,350 --> 00:02:12,250 Now if for some reason at the bevel is not working, 58 00:02:12,245 --> 00:02:14,515 you might have some doubles in your mesh. 59 00:02:14,510 --> 00:02:16,840 So detects that you can go into edit mode, 60 00:02:16,835 --> 00:02:19,045 select everything, and press M, 61 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,550 and then click on by distance. 62 00:02:21,545 --> 00:02:23,195 Or if that doesn't work, 63 00:02:23,195 --> 00:02:24,595 well you can do is open up 64 00:02:24,590 --> 00:02:27,640 the geometry and then turn off clamp overlay. 65 00:02:27,635 --> 00:02:30,055 And I will also fix the bevel issue. 66 00:02:30,050 --> 00:02:31,700 But if it's working correctly, 67 00:02:31,700 --> 00:02:33,340 you don't need to do any of that. 68 00:02:33,335 --> 00:02:35,755 Over on the right side we have an amount and this is 69 00:02:35,750 --> 00:02:38,330 the amount of bevel that will be applied currently, 70 00:02:38,330 --> 00:02:39,430 it's way too much. 71 00:02:39,425 --> 00:02:40,525 So let's bring it down. 72 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,030 Let's go with a value of 0.02 and enter. 73 00:02:44,030 --> 00:02:45,710 And we can see here that 74 00:02:45,710 --> 00:02:47,450 actually still might be a bit too much. 75 00:02:47,450 --> 00:02:48,520 So let's go even lower. 76 00:02:48,515 --> 00:02:50,125 Let's go 0.01. 77 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,010 Enter. 78 00:02:51,005 --> 00:02:53,705 Now the segments that's going to add some resolution. 79 00:02:53,705 --> 00:02:56,755 So if I zoom in and I turn the segments up to a value of, 80 00:02:56,750 --> 00:02:58,580 let's say three, it's going to smooth 81 00:02:58,580 --> 00:03:00,460 out that corner and that looks much better. 82 00:03:00,455 --> 00:03:02,185 So with a segment of three and 83 00:03:02,180 --> 00:03:05,350 an amount of zero-point one, that is good to go. 84 00:03:05,345 --> 00:03:07,325 Let's do that same thing on 85 00:03:07,325 --> 00:03:09,225 every single one of these objects. 86 00:03:09,229 --> 00:03:11,389 Let's select them first though and apply the scale. 87 00:03:11,390 --> 00:03:13,430 So it actually does the bevel correctly. 88 00:03:13,430 --> 00:03:16,400 So I'm going to select the back face, the ground, 89 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,360 this object, the first floor, the sidewall. 90 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:21,650 And we don't really need to 91 00:03:21,650 --> 00:03:23,170 do the grass because we're not 92 00:03:23,165 --> 00:03:26,245 applying a bevel modifier to it. 93 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,790 So just these objects, 94 00:03:27,785 --> 00:03:30,295 press Control a and apply the scale. 95 00:03:30,290 --> 00:03:32,240 Now we can apply the modifier to them. 96 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,010 Now, there is a way to copy 97 00:03:34,010 --> 00:03:36,460 modifiers from one object to another one, 98 00:03:36,455 --> 00:03:39,205 but that's going to mess up the Boolean modifiers here. 99 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,840 So instead we just need to apply it manually. 100 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,430 So with this object selected, 101 00:03:43,430 --> 00:03:46,210 I'm gonna click Add Modifier Bevel, 102 00:03:46,205 --> 00:03:48,355 set the amount 2.01, 103 00:03:48,350 --> 00:03:51,350 enter, and then add in a couple of segments. 104 00:03:51,349 --> 00:03:52,939 We'll do the same thing down here. 105 00:03:52,940 --> 00:03:59,080 Add a bevel modifier, 0.013 segments. 106 00:03:59,075 --> 00:04:00,945 And for the sidewall, 107 00:04:00,949 --> 00:04:04,099 we're going to click Add Modifier and select bevel. 108 00:04:04,100 --> 00:04:06,040 If the bevel is not working, 109 00:04:06,035 --> 00:04:07,535 That's because you need to make sure it's 110 00:04:07,535 --> 00:04:09,185 above the Boolean modifier, 111 00:04:09,185 --> 00:04:11,835 but below the solidify modifier 112 00:04:11,839 --> 00:04:14,119 or the window will not work properly. 113 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,680 Make sure you apply this scale 114 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,410 as well if you haven't done that already. 115 00:04:17,405 --> 00:04:18,535 And then for the amount, 116 00:04:18,530 --> 00:04:21,890 let's go 0.01 and segments up to 3. 117 00:04:21,890 --> 00:04:24,890 We don't really need to apply a bevel modifier 118 00:04:24,890 --> 00:04:26,390 to the first floor because we 119 00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:27,910 can't see the corners of the ceiling. 120 00:04:27,905 --> 00:04:30,205 So I think I'm just going to leave it off. 121 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,760 And finally, the other object is this object right here. 122 00:04:33,755 --> 00:04:35,275 One thing though is if we press 123 00:04:35,270 --> 00:04:37,000 Control a and apply the scale, 124 00:04:36,995 --> 00:04:38,605 you're going to notice we can't apply it. 125 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,510 And that's because we have a duplicate one over here. 126 00:04:41,510 --> 00:04:43,930 So we're gonna go ahead and delete that one. 127 00:04:43,925 --> 00:04:47,825 Select this object, control a, apply the scale. 128 00:04:47,825 --> 00:04:49,565 And then we'll just do it one more time. 129 00:04:49,565 --> 00:04:51,845 So we'll go to the back of the house, 130 00:04:51,845 --> 00:04:54,505 Alt D, Y, and 131 00:04:54,500 --> 00:04:58,070 drag it backwards and then apply the modifier. 132 00:04:58,070 --> 00:05:00,910 So we'll click Add Modifier level, 133 00:05:00,905 --> 00:05:07,865 set the amount 2.03 Enter and the segments of 23 as well. 134 00:05:07,865 --> 00:05:10,675 And then finally, just do that one more time on this one, 135 00:05:10,670 --> 00:05:15,860 set the amount 2.01 and the segments up to three. 136 00:05:15,860 --> 00:05:17,930 And there we go. 137 00:05:17,930 --> 00:05:19,630 We now have bevel along 138 00:05:19,625 --> 00:05:20,935 every single corner of 139 00:05:20,930 --> 00:05:23,560 our modern house and this looks much better. 140 00:05:23,555 --> 00:05:25,885 It's important to do this because it's going to 141 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,030 add some realism to your renders. 142 00:05:28,025 --> 00:05:29,335 If you don't do this, 143 00:05:29,330 --> 00:05:31,040 you're going to notice that your renders look 144 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,050 kind of fake because the corners just don't 145 00:05:33,050 --> 00:05:34,670 really line up properly and they don't 146 00:05:34,670 --> 00:05:37,520 shine the lighting or reflections. 147 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:38,420 Very good. 148 00:05:38,420 --> 00:05:40,390 So with the bevel modifier active, 149 00:05:40,385 --> 00:05:43,655 this is going to make our renders look much better.
