WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:0 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.685 Hello everyone and welcome to another video. 00:00:02.685 --> 00:00:03.945 This video, I wanted to do 00:00:03.945 --> 00:00:05.400 some final touch ups on 00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:07.170 our scene and make it look better. 00:00:07.170 --> 00:00:09.930 I wanted to also mentioned the importance of taking 00:00:09.930 --> 00:00:11.460 a break from your scene and then 00:00:11.460 --> 00:00:13.590 coming back to it with a fresh mind. 00:00:13.590 --> 00:00:15.450 A lot of the time when you're working with 00:00:15.450 --> 00:00:18.285 a large-scale scene and you're working on it for hours, 00:00:18.285 --> 00:00:19.440 you'll be blind to some of 00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:21.090 the problems that come with it. 00:00:21.090 --> 00:00:22.785 As you can see in this scene, 00:00:22.785 --> 00:00:24.060 I didn't really notice when I 00:00:24.060 --> 00:00:25.500 was working on it that the lights 00:00:25.500 --> 00:00:28.455 inside are way too dark and they're just really dull. 00:00:28.455 --> 00:00:30.945 They have this like white tend to him and 00:00:30.945 --> 00:00:34.065 it just doesn't look good, so we're going to fix that. 00:00:34.065 --> 00:00:36.990 So I wanted to mention that it is very important to take 00:00:36.990 --> 00:00:38.370 a break from your current scene 00:00:38.370 --> 00:00:40.110 and then come back with a fresh minds. 00:00:40.110 --> 00:00:42.520 You can see all of the issues with it. 00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:44.810 So here's what we're gonna do in this video. 00:00:44.810 --> 00:00:46.520 You can see the inside is too dark, 00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:47.795 so we're going to fix that. 00:00:47.795 --> 00:00:49.940 I also noticed on the right side that 00:00:49.940 --> 00:00:51.980 we have some floating lights over here, 00:00:51.980 --> 00:00:54.125 so we're also going to fix that. 00:00:54.125 --> 00:00:57.500 Another thing I wanted to change is these lights here. 00:00:57.500 --> 00:00:59.900 They are basically the same brightness 00:00:59.900 --> 00:01:01.355 as the lights on top. 00:01:01.355 --> 00:01:03.860 And it's kind of distracting if you look over 00:01:03.860 --> 00:01:06.770 here and your eyes are drawn to this area. 00:01:06.770 --> 00:01:08.180 And I don't really want those things 00:01:08.180 --> 00:01:09.410 to be the focal point. 00:01:09.410 --> 00:01:12.575 Those are just a subtle detail that I wanted to add. 00:01:12.575 --> 00:01:15.110 So we're also going to create a new material and drag 00:01:15.110 --> 00:01:18.485 the brightness down on those stair lights. 00:01:18.485 --> 00:01:22.400 Another thing is the foreground is just a bit too dark. 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:24.440 You can't really see these chairs over here. 00:01:24.440 --> 00:01:27.110 You can see that they're like an outline up a chair, 00:01:27.110 --> 00:01:29.165 but you can't really see any details on them. 00:01:29.165 --> 00:01:30.590 So we're also going to turn up 00:01:30.590 --> 00:01:31.970 the world settings and then 00:01:31.970 --> 00:01:35.135 maybe fix the lines on these plants right here. 00:01:35.135 --> 00:01:37.415 So let's go ahead and jump into it. 00:01:37.415 --> 00:01:39.095 So let's go ahead and jump into it. 00:01:39.095 --> 00:01:41.075 I'm going to exit out of this render. 00:01:41.075 --> 00:01:43.580 And then we're going to change a couple of the settings. 00:01:43.580 --> 00:01:46.730 We'll go select one of the lines over here and remember, 00:01:46.730 --> 00:01:48.050 since we all did it, 00:01:48.050 --> 00:01:49.220 it's going to apply it to 00:01:49.220 --> 00:01:50.960 every single line inside the house, 00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:52.160 which is very useful. 00:01:52.160 --> 00:01:54.515 We're going to jump over to these lamps settings 00:01:54.515 --> 00:01:56.045 and the power of this, 00:01:56.045 --> 00:01:58.595 I'm going to drag all the way up to 15. 00:01:58.595 --> 00:02:01.265 So the inside is a lot brighter. 00:02:01.265 --> 00:02:03.275 Then for the color, we're gonna go with 00:02:03.275 --> 00:02:05.930 a nice orange color somewhere around here. 00:02:05.930 --> 00:02:08.360 I think we'll look pretty good. 00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:10.610 And as you can see already, 00:02:10.610 --> 00:02:12.800 the interior is looking much better. 00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:14.300 As for the world settings, 00:02:14.300 --> 00:02:15.650 we're going to jump over to the world 00:02:15.650 --> 00:02:17.090 settings and the strength of it. 00:02:17.090 --> 00:02:19.444 We're going to bring up to a value of 0.2. 00:02:19.444 --> 00:02:20.630 This will just make sure that 00:02:20.630 --> 00:02:22.430 the outside is a little bit brighter. 00:02:22.430 --> 00:02:24.050 We can see the chairs a lot better 00:02:24.050 --> 00:02:26.570 now and the whole thing just looks better. 00:02:26.570 --> 00:02:28.820 Let's grab the lights on the exterior, 00:02:28.820 --> 00:02:31.085 these lights right here for the plants. 00:02:31.085 --> 00:02:33.545 And we're going to change a couple of settings here. 00:02:33.545 --> 00:02:35.360 So we'll jump over to the settings. 00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:36.980 And the first thing that I'll do is 00:02:36.980 --> 00:02:39.245 I'll bring the strength up to 100. 00:02:39.245 --> 00:02:42.260 And I also want the blend to be bigger. 00:02:42.260 --> 00:02:44.390 So I'm going to drag the blend up all the way, 00:02:44.390 --> 00:02:46.265 probably let's go with a value of one. 00:02:46.265 --> 00:02:47.540 And then for the sides, 00:02:47.540 --> 00:02:49.310 I also want to drag those up so 00:02:49.310 --> 00:02:52.055 they're going to be a bigger spread. 00:02:52.055 --> 00:02:55.460 Something like that, I think will look better. 00:02:55.460 --> 00:02:58.970 Just so we can see those lights a little bit better. 00:02:58.970 --> 00:03:01.670 Then finally, we're going to fix the interior. 00:03:01.670 --> 00:03:03.200 So let's go into wire-frame. 00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:05.645 And then I will select the light over here 00:03:05.645 --> 00:03:08.375 and press Period at to zoom in on it. 00:03:08.375 --> 00:03:11.000 As you can see, this thing is just floating there. 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.235 It's not on a ceiling or anything. 00:03:13.235 --> 00:03:14.360 So let's fix that. 00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:17.120 We're going to select both of those objects will 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:20.405 go into side view by hitting three. 00:03:20.405 --> 00:03:23.570 And I'll also grab this light and 00:03:23.570 --> 00:03:26.540 the lamp and de-select the window. 00:03:26.540 --> 00:03:27.890 And I don't think I ever mentioned it, 00:03:27.890 --> 00:03:29.900 but to de-select with box alive to 00:03:29.900 --> 00:03:32.000 you can press B and then draw with 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:33.620 the middle mouse button to 00:03:33.620 --> 00:03:36.605 de-select an object that's very useful. 00:03:36.605 --> 00:03:39.725 Then we'll click and drag and place it on the ceiling. 00:03:39.725 --> 00:03:41.930 We'll zoom in over here and then right 00:03:41.930 --> 00:03:43.940 about there looks good. 00:03:43.940 --> 00:03:46.400 Let's go into camera view and check what that looks like. 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:51.020 So I'm going to hit 0, Z and go into rendered view. 00:03:51.020 --> 00:03:53.660 If we then press Z and toggle or village, 00:03:53.660 --> 00:03:55.325 you can see those lights are gone, 00:03:55.325 --> 00:03:58.190 which actually I think looks a bit better. 00:03:58.190 --> 00:03:59.270 There we go. 00:03:59.270 --> 00:04:00.590 And I'm also going to 00:04:00.590 --> 00:04:02.435 change the material on these things. 00:04:02.435 --> 00:04:05.300 So I'm going to select those lights on the stairs. 00:04:05.300 --> 00:04:07.655 We're going to jump over to the Material tab. 00:04:07.655 --> 00:04:09.800 You can see that this material is using 00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:11.840 the same material over here. 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:13.760 So if I select this object, 00:04:13.760 --> 00:04:16.130 you can see it's using that light material. 00:04:16.130 --> 00:04:17.750 So I don't want to change this one. 00:04:17.750 --> 00:04:19.310 I think that one looks pretty good. 00:04:19.310 --> 00:04:21.830 So what we're gonna do is select this object. 00:04:21.830 --> 00:04:23.150 And then we're going to hit that 00:04:23.150 --> 00:04:25.085 too to create a new material. 00:04:25.085 --> 00:04:28.265 We'll call this stair lights. 00:04:28.265 --> 00:04:30.260 And as for the strength of this, 00:04:30.260 --> 00:04:31.520 so we're going to bring it down to, 00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:33.290 let's try, let's try 25. 00:04:33.290 --> 00:04:34.790 Let's just cut it down by half. 00:04:34.790 --> 00:04:36.710 And then we'll go into a rendered view 00:04:36.710 --> 00:04:38.930 to see what it looks like. 00:04:38.930 --> 00:04:41.210 That looks pretty good. I might want 00:04:41.210 --> 00:04:43.250 to go even lower. Let's try 20. 00:04:43.250 --> 00:04:44.495 And then for the color, 00:04:44.495 --> 00:04:46.995 we're also going to bring it over to a nice orange, 00:04:46.995 --> 00:04:49.880 more of an orange color, something like that. 00:04:49.880 --> 00:04:52.730 And I think that's just going to look a bit better. 00:04:52.730 --> 00:04:55.250 And there we go, That looks pretty good. 00:04:55.250 --> 00:04:56.810 So a lot of the time when you're working 00:04:56.810 --> 00:04:58.655 with big scenes like this is, 00:04:58.655 --> 00:04:59.900 I will do about like 00:04:59.900 --> 00:05:01.310 five or six renders before 00:05:01.310 --> 00:05:03.245 I'm happy with the final result. 00:05:03.245 --> 00:05:06.440 And actually I think those lines are a bit too orange, 00:05:06.440 --> 00:05:08.615 so I'm going to actually bring the saturation down. 00:05:08.615 --> 00:05:10.130 So you can do that by going over to 00:05:10.130 --> 00:05:11.810 the saturation value right here in 00:05:11.810 --> 00:05:13.910 the color and bring it down 00:05:13.910 --> 00:05:16.460 just a little bit, something like that. 00:05:16.460 --> 00:05:18.785 I think that will actually look a bit better. 00:05:18.785 --> 00:05:22.130 So now let's jump over to our render one more time 00:05:22.130 --> 00:05:23.570 and then double-check that those are 00:05:23.570 --> 00:05:25.190 the settings that we want to change. 00:05:25.190 --> 00:05:26.525 So to do that, you can press 00:05:26.525 --> 00:05:29.480 F to bring back your original render. 00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:30.925 So you can see here we change 00:05:30.925 --> 00:05:32.750 those lights are going to be a bit brighter. 00:05:32.750 --> 00:05:34.010 We change these lines and 00:05:34.010 --> 00:05:35.360 those lines are actually in the ceiling. 00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:37.580 Now, the background is going to be 00:05:37.580 --> 00:05:39.770 brighter and the interior 00:05:39.770 --> 00:05:41.720 is going to be brighter as well. 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:44.000 So you can go over your scene and pick if 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:46.115 there's anything else that you want to change. 00:05:46.115 --> 00:05:47.930 If you're happy with the final results, 00:05:47.930 --> 00:05:49.745 we can go ahead and render this out. 00:05:49.745 --> 00:05:52.070 I'm going to jump over to slot t2. 00:05:52.070 --> 00:05:54.440 And you can do that by hitting two on your keyboard or 00:05:54.440 --> 00:05:58.100 coming up to this menu and then selecting a slot t2. 00:05:58.100 --> 00:06:00.860 This will allow us to render it and then 00:06:00.860 --> 00:06:03.455 preview what the before and after it looks like. 00:06:03.455 --> 00:06:05.600 So now that we've selected a slot t2, 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:06.905 we are ready to render. 00:06:06.905 --> 00:06:09.904 I'm going to press Control S to save my project. 00:06:09.904 --> 00:06:11.390 And then we'll jump over to 00:06:11.390 --> 00:06:14.525 the render and then click on Render Image. 00:06:14.525 --> 00:06:17.060 This should only take a minute or two since we're 00:06:17.060 --> 00:06:19.955 rendering at a 1000 samples with cycles x. 00:06:19.955 --> 00:06:22.980 So once this is done, we will take a look at it. 00:06:23.650 --> 00:06:27.380 The render has finished and here is our result. 00:06:27.380 --> 00:06:30.200 Now to preview the previous render to this render, 00:06:30.200 --> 00:06:31.850 we're going to press 1 on the keyboard. 00:06:31.850 --> 00:06:33.605 So this is the previous render. 00:06:33.605 --> 00:06:36.170 You can see everything is much darker and 00:06:36.170 --> 00:06:38.885 the colors are not as saturated. 00:06:38.885 --> 00:06:40.100 And then if we go to slot 00:06:40.100 --> 00:06:41.990 t2 by hitting two on our keyboard, 00:06:41.990 --> 00:06:44.480 this is the second render that we've created, 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:46.625 and as you can see, it looks a lot better. 00:06:46.625 --> 00:06:48.740 The interior pops a lot more. 00:06:48.740 --> 00:06:49.910 There's a lot more colors. 00:06:49.910 --> 00:06:51.425 The brightness is a lot better. 00:06:51.425 --> 00:06:53.045 And I think it just looks overall 00:06:53.045 --> 00:06:54.815 much better than the first result. 00:06:54.815 --> 00:06:57.110 So we'll do that one more time. Here is the first one, 00:06:57.110 --> 00:06:59.525 and here is the second one. 00:06:59.525 --> 00:07:01.610 At this point you can exit out 00:07:01.610 --> 00:07:03.050 of this window and jump over to 00:07:03.050 --> 00:07:05.180 the compositing workspace and then 00:07:05.180 --> 00:07:07.610 change a couple of settings if you wanted to. 00:07:07.610 --> 00:07:09.620 So if you want the vignette to be darker, 00:07:09.620 --> 00:07:10.985 you can drag that this way. 00:07:10.985 --> 00:07:13.370 The corners are going to be darker just slightly, 00:07:13.370 --> 00:07:15.710 which I'm going to go with a value of 0.6. 00:07:15.710 --> 00:07:17.495 So I'm going to bring it up just a little bit 00:07:17.495 --> 00:07:20.435 because the scene is overall brighter. 00:07:20.435 --> 00:07:22.580 As for the color balance, 00:07:22.580 --> 00:07:24.020 I'm going to set the color of 00:07:24.020 --> 00:07:26.375 the shadows to be a little bit more blue. 00:07:26.375 --> 00:07:28.070 And then the midtones, I'm going to bring 00:07:28.070 --> 00:07:30.500 more over to a yellow color. 00:07:30.500 --> 00:07:32.660 So we're going to preview what that looks like. 00:07:32.660 --> 00:07:35.030 I'm going to hit M to mute that note. 00:07:35.030 --> 00:07:36.170 And this is the before, 00:07:36.170 --> 00:07:38.570 and then this is the after with the color correction. 00:07:38.570 --> 00:07:40.070 And I think it looks a lot better. 00:07:40.070 --> 00:07:41.510 It might be a bit too red, 00:07:41.510 --> 00:07:44.090 so I might go over to more of a yellow color, 00:07:44.090 --> 00:07:46.895 something like that might be pretty good. 00:07:46.895 --> 00:07:49.025 And then for the highlights, I'm also going to go 00:07:49.025 --> 00:07:51.575 over to more of a yellow color. 00:07:51.575 --> 00:07:54.860 And then maybe drag them up just a tiny bit. 00:07:54.860 --> 00:07:57.800 There we go. So this is a before. 00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:00.920 This is the after with the color correction. 00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:03.095 And that looks pretty nice 00:08:03.095 --> 00:08:05.360 if you don't really like how red the interior looks. 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:06.740 Another thing that you can do is 00:08:06.740 --> 00:08:08.180 go over to color and then 00:08:08.180 --> 00:08:11.195 add in a RGB curves right here. 00:08:11.195 --> 00:08:12.440 If we place it between the 00:08:12.440 --> 00:08:14.090 color balance and the Gamma node, 00:08:14.090 --> 00:08:15.800 we can switch the mode over to 00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:17.720 the red channel and then just 00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:20.240 drag this down and just slightly. 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.610 And that will help reduce some of the red colors, 00:08:22.610 --> 00:08:25.340 which actually I think that looks a lot better. 00:08:25.340 --> 00:08:28.550 You can also go over to the color mode and 00:08:28.550 --> 00:08:29.870 driving entire thing up 00:08:29.870 --> 00:08:31.880 just slightly and that will brighten it. 00:08:31.880 --> 00:08:33.650 And there we go. 00:08:33.650 --> 00:08:36.350 So now let's take a look at it from the before and after. 00:08:36.350 --> 00:08:38.900 We'll Control Shift left-click on the render layers. 00:08:38.900 --> 00:08:40.205 This is the before, 00:08:40.205 --> 00:08:43.535 and then this is the after width, the color correction. 00:08:43.535 --> 00:08:46.220 So now at this point we can save this project. 00:08:46.220 --> 00:08:49.220 We can press F 11 to go back into the rendered view. 00:08:49.220 --> 00:08:50.990 So here is our render with 00:08:50.990 --> 00:08:53.360 the previous compositing nodes. 00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:55.145 And you can see it's a bit too red. 00:08:55.145 --> 00:08:58.550 But if we grab the menu here and type in the word viewer, 00:08:58.550 --> 00:09:00.620 we can select the viewer node. 00:09:00.620 --> 00:09:01.850 And this is the after. 00:09:01.850 --> 00:09:03.530 And I think that looks a lot better. 00:09:03.530 --> 00:09:07.340 We can then press Shift Alt S to save this project, 00:09:07.340 --> 00:09:10.115 and then I will call it final render. 00:09:10.115 --> 00:09:11.780 And then two, since that we 00:09:11.780 --> 00:09:13.940 already rendered one image. You can see it right here. 00:09:13.940 --> 00:09:15.710 Final render one. I'm going to render 00:09:15.710 --> 00:09:17.735 this one as a final render too, 00:09:17.735 --> 00:09:19.865 so we can keep everything organized. 00:09:19.865 --> 00:09:22.520 Then you can click on Save As image. 00:09:22.520 --> 00:09:25.190 And there we go, That looks much better. 00:09:25.190 --> 00:09:27.170 So here is the before and after with 00:09:27.170 --> 00:09:30.050 our previous render and then our render now. 00:09:30.050 --> 00:09:33.065 And as you can see, the overall image pops a lot more. 00:09:33.065 --> 00:09:34.970 So again, it's very important to take 00:09:34.970 --> 00:09:37.040 a break from working on a scene as you can 00:09:37.040 --> 00:09:39.080 come back to it with a fresh mind and 00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:41.660 see what the problems are in that scene. 00:09:41.660 --> 00:09:44.690 So there you go. We've now created the modern house. 00:09:44.690 --> 00:09:46.040 And in the next video, I'm just going to 00:09:46.040 --> 00:09:47.630 talk about what is next in 00:09:47.630 --> 00:09:49.640 this course and some things that you 00:09:49.640 --> 00:09:52.980 can add to this house if you wanted to change it up.
