Here is all 64 00:02:30,740 --> 00:02:32,270 of the nodes that we're going to be changing 65 00:02:32,270 --> 00:02:36,410 for our world rather than an actual material. 66 00:02:36,410 --> 00:02:40,010 So first off with the Node Wrangler add-on enabled, 67 00:02:40,010 --> 00:02:42,050 we can select the environment texture, 68 00:02:42,050 --> 00:02:43,990 and press Control T to add an, 69 00:02:43,985 --> 00:02:46,855 a mapping and a texture coordinate note, 70 00:02:46,850 --> 00:02:48,710 make sure you are using 71 00:02:48,710 --> 00:02:51,970 the generated texture and plugging it into the mapping. 72 00:02:51,965 --> 00:02:54,785 And then if we take the Z rotation, 73 00:02:54,785 --> 00:02:56,875 we can move the environment around. 74 00:02:56,870 --> 00:02:58,370 So you can see if I rotate it up, 75 00:02:58,370 --> 00:02:59,740 it's going to move it around. 76 00:02:59,735 --> 00:03:01,615 So let's find a position where we 77 00:03:01,610 --> 00:03:04,120 want our HDR to line up. 78 00:03:04,115 --> 00:03:06,325 Now before we actually find 79 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,610 a position that Let's set where we want our camera to be. 80 00:03:09,605 --> 00:03:11,365 So what I'm gonna do is place 81 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,080 my viewport right about this angle. 82 00:03:14,075 --> 00:03:16,825 And now what we can do is a shortcut that allows 83 00:03:16,820 --> 00:03:20,050 the camera to snap exactly to where we are looking. 84 00:03:20,045 --> 00:03:23,435 So I'm going to place my view right about here or so. 85 00:03:23,435 --> 00:03:25,705 And the shortcut is Control Alt and 86 00:03:25,700 --> 00:03:28,870 numpad 0 to snap the camera to view. 87 00:03:28,865 --> 00:03:31,045 If you don't want to press that way you can do 88 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,130 is come down to view over 2, 89 00:03:33,125 --> 00:03:35,035 Align View and then click right 90 00:03:35,030 --> 00:03:37,010 there aligned camera to active view. 91 00:03:37,010 --> 00:03:40,820 You can also see the shortcut is Control Alt numpad 0. 92 00:03:40,820 --> 00:03:43,040 Once you've done that, you're going to need to select 93 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,880 the camera by clicking in the bounding box, 94 00:03:45,875 --> 00:03:48,515 you can press the G key on your keyboard, 95 00:03:48,515 --> 00:03:50,665 middle mouse button, and drag 96 00:03:50,660 --> 00:03:53,420 it back until you find the right spot. 97 00:03:53,420 --> 00:03:55,250 So at this point you can play 98 00:03:55,250 --> 00:03:56,900 around with the position of your camera. 99 00:03:56,900 --> 00:03:59,090 You can also double-tap are and move 100 00:03:59,090 --> 00:04:02,240 the camera up like this to get more of an angle, 101 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,560 you can drag it down, 102 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:04,580 do whatever you want. 103 00:04:04,580 --> 00:04:06,320 You can rotate it along the z. 104 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:07,460 So if you hit R and Z, 105 00:04:07,460 --> 00:04:09,560 you can rotate it like this. 106 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,600 So I'm probably going to go somewhere 107 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:12,740 around here and bring it 108 00:04:12,740 --> 00:04:15,500 back because I want to see a bigger view of the house. 109 00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:16,940 Rotate it this way, 110 00:04:16,940 --> 00:04:20,470 just slightly, something like that. 111 00:04:20,465 --> 00:04:22,405 And if you want a wider view, 112 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,950 you can also go over to the camera settings and 113 00:04:24,950 --> 00:04:26,780 blender and you can see the focal length 114 00:04:26,780 --> 00:04:28,370 is currently set to 100, 50. 115 00:04:28,370 --> 00:04:30,200 If you go down further, 116 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,410 it's going to zoom out the camera. 117 00:04:32,405 --> 00:04:34,195 So I think I'm actually going to go 118 00:04:34,190 --> 00:04:36,430 down just a little bit probably, 119 00:04:36,425 --> 00:04:38,785 let's go with a value of 40. 120 00:04:38,780 --> 00:04:40,760 I think that's a pretty good focal length. 121 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,800 And then we'll zoom in slightly more, 122 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,620 something like that and place the camera there. 123 00:04:45,620 --> 00:04:48,350 I want to be able to see the brick wall and I also 124 00:04:48,350 --> 00:04:51,010 want to be able to see this side of the house. 125 00:04:51,005 --> 00:04:53,065 So I think I'm happy with that result. 126 00:04:53,060 --> 00:04:54,620 This gives us a nice view of 127 00:04:54,620 --> 00:04:57,930 the grass and everywhere else. 128 00:04:58,150 --> 00:05:01,670 Alright, now that we have our camera in place, 129 00:05:01,670 --> 00:05:03,410 we can actually change the rotation 130 00:05:03,410 --> 00:05:05,300 until we're happy with the result. 131 00:05:05,300 --> 00:05:08,510 So we'll drag this back out and you can rotate the HDR. 132 00:05:08,510 --> 00:05:10,160 So if you want more clouds or 133 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,010 less clouds, you can move it around. 134 00:05:12,005 --> 00:05:16,105 I'm probably gonna go with somewhere around here. 135 00:05:16,100 --> 00:05:19,240 I think I like that reflection along that wall. 136 00:05:19,235 --> 00:05:21,805 So I think I might do something like that. 137 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,250 And probably around there is pretty good. 138 00:05:25,250 --> 00:05:26,480 We've got some nice clouds in 139 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,290 the background and the lighting is pretty good. 140 00:05:29,285 --> 00:05:32,185 Next, I'm also going to change the strength of 141 00:05:32,180 --> 00:05:35,950 this HDR because at the moment the strength is too high. 142 00:05:35,945 --> 00:05:37,885 What I want is for our scene 143 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,030 to have the look of the blue hour. 144 00:05:40,025 --> 00:05:42,595 The blue hour is a time of day where the sun is going 145 00:05:42,590 --> 00:05:45,880 down and the sky is a really vibrant blue. 146 00:05:45,875 --> 00:05:48,595 So if we turn the strength down of our background, 147 00:05:48,590 --> 00:05:51,020 let's try a value of about 0.1 or so. 148 00:05:51,020 --> 00:05:52,610 It is going to be pretty dark. 149 00:05:52,610 --> 00:05:55,010 But don't worry, once we add in some exterior lines, 150 00:05:55,010 --> 00:05:58,180 interior lights, it's going to look really cool. 151 00:05:58,175 --> 00:06:01,945 You can also, if you want to add more blue to your scene, 152 00:06:01,940 --> 00:06:03,260 you can press Shift a at 153 00:06:03,260 --> 00:06:06,250 an eight color and a hue saturation node. 154 00:06:06,245 --> 00:06:07,765 You can place this here. 155 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,070 And if you bring up the saturation, 156 00:06:10,070 --> 00:06:12,490 you're gonna see it gives us a more blue look, 157 00:06:12,485 --> 00:06:13,675 which I actually like. 158 00:06:13,670 --> 00:06:15,460 So I might drag it up just slightly. 159 00:06:15,455 --> 00:06:17,095 That might be a bit too much. 160 00:06:17,090 --> 00:06:18,220 Somewhere around there. 161 00:06:18,215 --> 00:06:19,915 I like a value of 1.2. 162 00:06:19,910 --> 00:06:21,820 I think that's pretty good. 163 00:06:21,815 --> 00:06:24,205 I'm going to press Z and click on 164 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,920 Toggle overlays to get rid of any outlines. 165 00:06:26,915 --> 00:06:29,605 And here is what our result looks like. 166 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,760 I think that looks pretty neat with all 167 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,430 of the clouds in the background and the, 168 00:06:33,425 --> 00:06:34,955 and it's pretty dark. 169 00:06:34,955 --> 00:06:36,085 So there you go. 170 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,610 We've now added an HDR, 171 00:06:37,610 --> 00:06:38,630 and in the next video, 172 00:06:38,630 --> 00:06:41,310 let's add in some pool lights.
