WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:0 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.150 Hello everyone and welcome to a new section. 00:00:03.150 --> 00:00:05.460 This section is going to be a very fun because it is 00:00:05.460 --> 00:00:08.295 focused on the lighting, our interior scene. 00:00:08.295 --> 00:00:11.430 We're going to be adding in an HDR to our environments, 00:00:11.430 --> 00:00:12.870 adding some lights everywhere, 00:00:12.870 --> 00:00:15.900 some pool lights, exterior and interior lights, 00:00:15.900 --> 00:00:19.350 and it will be covering all that in this video. 00:00:19.350 --> 00:00:22.230 One thing I wanted to quickly mention is 00:00:22.230 --> 00:00:24.180 that for this video in particular, 00:00:24.180 --> 00:00:26.010 we're going to be using an HDR. 00:00:26.010 --> 00:00:28.755 If you want to use this same HDR that I am using, 00:00:28.755 --> 00:00:31.005 I got it from Pali haven.com. 00:00:31.005 --> 00:00:33.660 This website is fantastic and they have 00:00:33.660 --> 00:00:36.135 so many high-quality HDR is 00:00:36.135 --> 00:00:39.435 textures and models, all for free. 00:00:39.435 --> 00:00:42.265 I highly recommend checking this website out, 00:00:42.265 --> 00:00:44.525 supporting them if you can't. 00:00:44.525 --> 00:00:47.690 Another thing I wanted to say is that this course is 00:00:47.690 --> 00:00:51.020 just a guide for you to create your own 3D house. 00:00:51.020 --> 00:00:53.990 So go explore and find an HDR that you like. 00:00:53.990 --> 00:00:56.480 If you want it to use the same one that I'm using, 00:00:56.480 --> 00:00:58.190 it is in the resources or 00:00:58.190 --> 00:01:00.335 in the article previous to this video. 00:01:00.335 --> 00:01:02.330 So go ahead and grab that link or 00:01:02.330 --> 00:01:04.880 explore this website and pick one of your own. 00:01:04.880 --> 00:01:07.340 Once you have downloaded and HDR that you like, 00:01:07.340 --> 00:01:10.460 we're going to go ahead and get started to add this in. 00:01:10.460 --> 00:01:12.875 We need to go over to the world settings. 00:01:12.875 --> 00:01:14.930 And then over in the color right here, 00:01:14.930 --> 00:01:17.420 we're going to click that little yellow dot 00:01:17.420 --> 00:01:19.475 and then select the environment texture. 00:01:19.475 --> 00:01:21.560 We're not going to be using an image texture. 00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:23.210 We're going to be using environment. 00:01:23.210 --> 00:01:24.895 Environment means it's going to add 00:01:24.895 --> 00:01:28.790 a 360 degree image all around the environment. 00:01:28.790 --> 00:01:32.630 So let's go ahead and select it and then click on Open. 00:01:32.630 --> 00:01:35.780 The HDR that we're gonna be using is this one right here. 00:01:35.780 --> 00:01:37.370 And I do recommend testing out 00:01:37.370 --> 00:01:39.230 some different HDR is because they 00:01:39.230 --> 00:01:41.120 can give you some really interesting results 00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:43.640 depending on which one you pick. 00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:46.160 So once you've found it, select it, 00:01:46.160 --> 00:01:48.275 and then click on Open Image 00:01:48.275 --> 00:01:50.540 to actually see what this HDR looks like. 00:01:50.540 --> 00:01:53.060 Let's press Z and go into a rendered view. 00:01:53.060 --> 00:01:55.700 This might take a minute to calculate, but once it does, 00:01:55.700 --> 00:01:58.220 you can see this is our HDR and we can move 00:01:58.220 --> 00:02:00.860 around the scene and see everywhere just like that. 00:02:00.860 --> 00:02:02.915 And that is looking pretty cool. 00:02:02.915 --> 00:02:05.675 Let's position this HDR the way that we want. 00:02:05.675 --> 00:02:06.845 Because at the moment, 00:02:06.845 --> 00:02:09.545 when we place our camera right about this position, 00:02:09.545 --> 00:02:11.060 I don't want there to be a tree 00:02:11.060 --> 00:02:12.545 and a field in the background. 00:02:12.545 --> 00:02:13.940 I want there to be sky. 00:02:13.940 --> 00:02:17.120 So we're going to rotate the HDR to do this, 00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:19.730 come up to the top corner and then split this window. 00:02:19.730 --> 00:02:20.660 Once again. 00:02:20.660 --> 00:02:22.070 We're going to switch this to 00:02:22.070 --> 00:02:24.140 the shader editor just like that. 00:02:24.140 --> 00:02:26.090 And then before you do anything else, 00:02:26.090 --> 00:02:29.105 click on the object and switch it over to the world. 00:02:29.105 --> 00:02:30.740 Nodes. Here is all 00:02:30.740 --> 00:02:32.270 of the nodes that we're going to be changing 00:02:32.270 --> 00:02:36.410 for our world rather than an actual material. 00:02:36.410 --> 00:02:40.010 So first off with the Node Wrangler add-on enabled, 00:02:40.010 --> 00:02:42.050 we can select the environment texture, 00:02:42.050 --> 00:02:43.985 and press Control T to add an, 00:02:43.985 --> 00:02:46.850 a mapping and a texture coordinate note, 00:02:46.850 --> 00:02:48.710 make sure you are using 00:02:48.710 --> 00:02:51.965 the generated texture and plugging it into the mapping. 00:02:51.965 --> 00:02:54.785 And then if we take the Z rotation, 00:02:54.785 --> 00:02:56.870 we can move the environment around. 00:02:56.870 --> 00:02:58.370 So you can see if I rotate it up, 00:02:58.370 --> 00:02:59.735 it's going to move it around. 00:02:59.735 --> 00:03:01.610 So let's find a position where we 00:03:01.610 --> 00:03:04.115 want our HDR to line up. 00:03:04.115 --> 00:03:06.320 Now before we actually find 00:03:06.320 --> 00:03:09.605 a position that Let's set where we want our camera to be. 00:03:09.605 --> 00:03:11.360 So what I'm gonna do is place 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:14.075 my viewport right about this angle. 00:03:14.075 --> 00:03:16.820 And now what we can do is a shortcut that allows 00:03:16.820 --> 00:03:20.045 the camera to snap exactly to where we are looking. 00:03:20.045 --> 00:03:23.435 So I'm going to place my view right about here or so. 00:03:23.435 --> 00:03:25.700 And the shortcut is Control Alt and 00:03:25.700 --> 00:03:28.865 numpad 0 to snap the camera to view. 00:03:28.865 --> 00:03:31.040 If you don't want to press that way you can do 00:03:31.040 --> 00:03:33.125 is come down to view over 2, 00:03:33.125 --> 00:03:35.030 Align View and then click right 00:03:35.030 --> 00:03:37.010 there aligned camera to active view. 00:03:37.010 --> 00:03:40.820 You can also see the shortcut is Control Alt numpad 0. 00:03:40.820 --> 00:03:43.040 Once you've done that, you're going to need to select 00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:45.875 the camera by clicking in the bounding box, 00:03:45.875 --> 00:03:48.515 you can press the G key on your keyboard, 00:03:48.515 --> 00:03:50.660 middle mouse button, and drag 00:03:50.660 --> 00:03:53.420 it back until you find the right spot. 00:03:53.420 --> 00:03:55.250 So at this point you can play 00:03:55.250 --> 00:03:56.900 around with the position of your camera. 00:03:56.900 --> 00:03:59.090 You can also double-tap are and move 00:03:59.090 --> 00:04:02.240 the camera up like this to get more of an angle, 00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:03.560 you can drag it down, 00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:04.580 do whatever you want. 00:04:04.580 --> 00:04:06.320 You can rotate it along the z. 00:04:06.320 --> 00:04:07.460 So if you hit R and Z, 00:04:07.460 --> 00:04:09.560 you can rotate it like this. 00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:11.600 So I'm probably going to go somewhere 00:04:11.600 --> 00:04:12.740 around here and bring it 00:04:12.740 --> 00:04:15.500 back because I want to see a bigger view of the house. 00:04:15.500 --> 00:04:16.940 Rotate it this way, 00:04:16.940 --> 00:04:20.465 just slightly, something like that. 00:04:20.465 --> 00:04:22.400 And if you want a wider view, 00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:24.950 you can also go over to the camera settings and 00:04:24.950 --> 00:04:26.780 blender and you can see the focal length 00:04:26.780 --> 00:04:28.370 is currently set to 100, 50. 00:04:28.370 --> 00:04:30.200 If you go down further, 00:04:30.200 --> 00:04:32.405 it's going to zoom out the camera. 00:04:32.405 --> 00:04:34.190 So I think I'm actually going to go 00:04:34.190 --> 00:04:36.425 down just a little bit probably, 00:04:36.425 --> 00:04:38.780 let's go with a value of 40. 00:04:38.780 --> 00:04:40.760 I think that's a pretty good focal length. 00:04:40.760 --> 00:04:42.800 And then we'll zoom in slightly more, 00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.620 something like that and place the camera there. 00:04:45.620 --> 00:04:48.350 I want to be able to see the brick wall and I also 00:04:48.350 --> 00:04:51.005 want to be able to see this side of the house. 00:04:51.005 --> 00:04:53.060 So I think I'm happy with that result. 00:04:53.060 --> 00:04:54.620 This gives us a nice view of 00:04:54.620 --> 00:04:57.930 the grass and everywhere else. 00:04:58.150 --> 00:05:01.670 Alright, now that we have our camera in place, 00:05:01.670 --> 00:05:03.410 we can actually change the rotation 00:05:03.410 --> 00:05:05.300 until we're happy with the result. 00:05:05.300 --> 00:05:08.510 So we'll drag this back out and you can rotate the HDR. 00:05:08.510 --> 00:05:10.160 So if you want more clouds or 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:12.005 less clouds, you can move it around. 00:05:12.005 --> 00:05:16.100 I'm probably gonna go with somewhere around here. 00:05:16.100 --> 00:05:19.235 I think I like that reflection along that wall. 00:05:19.235 --> 00:05:21.800 So I think I might do something like that. 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:25.250 And probably around there is pretty good. 00:05:25.250 --> 00:05:26.480 We've got some nice clouds in 00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.285 the background and the lighting is pretty good. 00:05:29.285 --> 00:05:32.180 Next, I'm also going to change the strength of 00:05:32.180 --> 00:05:35.945 this HDR because at the moment the strength is too high. 00:05:35.945 --> 00:05:37.880 What I want is for our scene 00:05:37.880 --> 00:05:40.025 to have the look of the blue hour. 00:05:40.025 --> 00:05:42.590 The blue hour is a time of day where the sun is going 00:05:42.590 --> 00:05:45.875 down and the sky is a really vibrant blue. 00:05:45.875 --> 00:05:48.590 So if we turn the strength down of our background, 00:05:48.590 --> 00:05:51.020 let's try a value of about 0.1 or so. 00:05:51.020 --> 00:05:52.610 It is going to be pretty dark. 00:05:52.610 --> 00:05:55.010 But don't worry, once we add in some exterior lines, 00:05:55.010 --> 00:05:58.175 interior lights, it's going to look really cool. 00:05:58.175 --> 00:06:01.940 You can also, if you want to add more blue to your scene, 00:06:01.940 --> 00:06:03.260 you can press Shift a at 00:06:03.260 --> 00:06:06.245 an eight color and a hue saturation node. 00:06:06.245 --> 00:06:07.760 You can place this here. 00:06:07.760 --> 00:06:10.070 And if you bring up the saturation, 00:06:10.070 --> 00:06:12.485 you're gonna see it gives us a more blue look, 00:06:12.485 --> 00:06:13.670 which I actually like. 00:06:13.670 --> 00:06:15.455 So I might drag it up just slightly. 00:06:15.455 --> 00:06:17.090 That might be a bit too much. 00:06:17.090 --> 00:06:18.215 Somewhere around there. 00:06:18.215 --> 00:06:19.910 I like a value of 1.2. 00:06:19.910 --> 00:06:21.815 I think that's pretty good. 00:06:21.815 --> 00:06:24.200 I'm going to press Z and click on 00:06:24.200 --> 00:06:26.915 Toggle overlays to get rid of any outlines. 00:06:26.915 --> 00:06:29.600 And here is what our result looks like. 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.760 I think that looks pretty neat with all 00:06:31.760 --> 00:06:33.425 of the clouds in the background and the, 00:06:33.425 --> 00:06:34.955 and it's pretty dark. 00:06:34.955 --> 00:06:36.080 So there you go. 00:06:36.080 --> 00:06:37.610 We've now added an HDR, 00:06:37.610 --> 00:06:38.630 and in the next video, 00:06:38.630 --> 00:06:41.310 let's add in some pool lights.
