- [Zach] In this video

we will put together all the assets

which we created in the last video

to form a nice campfire.

So now in order to put
our campfire together,

let's right click on the stone collection,

click on select objects

and then move them a bit to the side

and the same for the logs fire.

Let's move them a bit to the front

so they are not overlapping here

and let's hide the cooking
pot collection for now.

In this video,

we will switch between
different pivot points a lot,

and maybe also between
some transform orientations

and of course,

you can always do this up here.

However, there are also
two nice pie menus.

Now hit period,

then this pivot point pie menu pops up,

by the way, the period knot on the numpad,

the other one,

and now we can hover

above this different pivot point options

and then release the period button

to switch and you can see up here

this is also switching

and here we will mainly
switch between 3D cursor

and bounding box center,

default is median point but in our case,

median point and bounding box center

is basically the same

and I find it quicker to
switch between bounding box

and 3D cursor,

which is pretty fast.

Bounding box allows us to
use the transform orientation

which is on our object here

and 3D cursor.

If we switch to 3D cursor,

it will use the position of the 3D cursor,

which allows us to do
some rotate duplications,

which you will see in a second.

And by the way,

if you quickly wanna switch the
transform orientations here,

press and hold the comma key again,

if you have a German keyboard,

not the one on the numpad

and then we can switch between for example

global and local,

which we will use most often.

So with that out of the way,

let's have a look from the top

and let's go back to the box select mode,

press T and now let's Shift
+ D duplicate them all.

And now let's put them somewhere here

for now something like this,

we will like scale and rotate
them randomly a bit more

in a second.

Now we have something like this.

So we have all four different logs here.

Let's hold on Shift and right click here

to add the 3D cursor somewhere
at the center of our fire.

And now before I duplicate the logs,

let's press and hold period

and switch to the 3D cursor pivot point.

Let's select all of them.

And now you can see I can
rotate around the position

of the 3D cursor.

And I can also duplicate
around the position,

let's press Shift + D

and before I confirm
with left click or Enter,

let's switch over to the rotate operation,

rotate this a bit.

And then let's hit Shift + R

which repeats the last action

and usually it can only repeat one action.

But with duplicate,

it switches automatically over to move

or we can switch this to rotate

or scale and then this
counts as one action.

So now let's press Shift + R once again.

And now we have duplicated this

and now we can go in here,

let's press period and
switch back to bounding box.

And then we can move these around.

And in order to scale
them all a bit randomly,

let's select them all,

let's press C scale this up a bit

and draw over here

and just make sure that we
don't select the ground here.

And in order to make sure

that we never accidentally
select the ground.

Let's go to environment here

and then disable this little arrow here.

If you don't have this arrow here,

then click on this filter
and enable this here.

This is the restriction
toggle for selection.

That means now we can't select the ground

even if we click on this

and now I can easily
select all the logs here

without accidentally selecting the ground.

And now in order to
randomize the Transform,

let's go to object, transform

and go on randomize transform.

Let's right click on this

and click on Add to quick favorites.

That means if I press Q,

I have my quick favorites menu

and you can basically
add anything you like

to this quick favorites menu

by right clicking on the option

and click on Add to quick favorites.

And now you can see we have
this randomize transform here

and I have some other things as well.

I added some modifiers

to quickly add a mirror modifier

for example, however here just
click randomize transform,

then this menu down here pops up.

If this menu does not pop up,

click on View and then
enable adjust last operation.

And then we can for example,

play around with a bit with the rotation

and let's set this to even scale

and hold on Shift while
changing the value here

and then we can change the
scale a bit not too much.

Then let's go in here

and maybe let's scale some
of these very big logs

and let's rotate some of them

more towards the inside,

these we will color a bit
more darker in a second.

So, the whole fireplace
looks a bit more dense

and a little bit more
super realistic, you know.

If you wanna use the free rotation,

simply select something and press R twice

and then you can freely rotate the object

by moving into a different
directions with your mouse

which adds a bit more freedom
when like placing things

a bit more randomly.

Let's scale this down a bit

because like the four big logs,

here are all the same,

then let's press R Z twice in this case,

because I have the global
transform orientation

enabled up here, scale this down a bit.

So I just wanna make sure
that it's not too obvious,

that some of the objects
are the same objects,

and they are placed on
the exact same spot.

Something like this.

Now, let's select one
of the logs down here,

maybe let's move this up a bit.

And it doesn't really matter
if some of the objects

are clipping into each other

because the camera is
usually quite far away,

then we don't see this anyway.

Let's duplicate the wood material.

Let's call this one wood burned

and make this a bit darker
and a bit more grayish

and disable random here.

Then let's select some of the wood pieces

which are inside the fire.

And then as last one,
let's select this one.

And then we can press Ctrl + L

to open up the link transfer data menu

and then click on link materials,

then it will copy the material from here

to all the other selected objects.

Maybe let's add this one here as well.

So let's select this one here,

and then just drag and
drop it on to this one.

And maybe same over here.

Yeah, I think this looks good to me.

Now let's go over to the
stones and do a similar thing.

Let's in this case, just move them,

put them somewhere here.

Something like this.

Now let's switch over to
the 3D cursor pivot point,

let's select these three objects,

Shift + D, then press R,

immediately rotate this
a bit and then shift+ R

twice to repeat the last action.

And then let's hit period

and switch back to the bounding
box center pivot point.

Now let's move them a
bit to the right spot.

But before we do that,

let's right click on the
stones select objects,

press Q and click on randomize transform,

then set X and Y to zero
and change the Z rotation

and the scaling a bit.

So now let's move this stuff around

until it looks good.

Something like this.

And now there's one thing left here

for the fire,

the ground below looks too bright to me.

So let's add a cube bottom.

And now this was added
into the stones collection,

let's actually create
a new collection here,

call this ground burned.

Put this down here and
call this burned ground.

And then let's press all G to
move it to the ground here,

scale this down and make this very flat,

something like this, move it over here,

scale this down a bit
more, something like this.

Let's call this material ground burned,

give it a darker color,
a little bit brownish,

something like this.

And then let's duplicate this,
scale this one a bit smaller,

and same to the other side.

And first of all, let's apply the scale.

And then we can switch over to edit mode.

As you can see,

you can also select multiple objects

and switch over to edit mode.

Let's use the vertex selection.

And let's move some of
the vertices around.

Important, I have X-ray enabled here.

So I can also select the
stuff which I can't see.

And I just change the shape a bit

so that I cover the full ground here.

But I don't change the geometry

in terms of adding loop
cuts or anything like that.

I just shaved the cubes
because as you know,

cubic worlds is made out of cubes.

So, now we have the fireplace here,

let's add the cooking pot thing.

So let's place one thing over here.

One thing over here,

this one on top, somewhere here.

And you can see it's not long enough

but in this case,

I wouldn't scale this in object mode,

because then this branch
thing will be distorted.

So let's first of all,
move this down here.

And then let's simply go to Edit mode,

select this face and press G twice

and then press C to move this longer

in this specific direction
here on slide this

along here,

something like this.

And it's always nice if not everything

is like perfectly straight.

So let's rotate this a
bit, something like this.

Let's grab the pot here,

move this to the position here.

Move this up

and the knot up here is not big enough.

Let's select this,
scale this up even more.

So that's covering the whole log here

and it's hanging nicely above the fire.

And here it's floating a bit.

So move this down.

Same for the pot,

and this is looking good.

Now the last thing we still
have these logs over here,

let's select them all,

press M,

go to campfire new collection.

Let's call this log pile

because we wanna create a
small pile of logs here.

Let's press R X 90 to
rotate this 90 degrees.

So simply type in 90 on the keyboard,

move this up a bit.

And now let's put them a bit closer.

Rotate them a bit randomly,

maybe swap this around.

duplicate this, move this up here.

So, something like this,

and let's just move it to the site here.

We will decide later where
to pack it in the scene.

But now we have the campfire
and our log pile here.

Maybe call this logs pile instead.

Let's move this up.

So we have the logs along here,

maybe stones up and ground.

You can like sort this in a way you want.

But that's it for the campfire.

And by the way, if you wanna
check your scene in between,

make sure that the render
collection is enabled

and click on the preview collection

and enable the render viewport shading

and this is how it looks like

without any outlines enabled here

or any helping objects and
yeah, looks pretty nice.

Now just in case,

make sure to select everything here,

press Ctrl + A and apply the scale

and the actual fire with
a particle simulation.

We will do a bit later
in a separate video.

And now don't forget to
save your blend file.
