- [Zach] In this video,

let's create the tent for our scene.

Alright, first of all, let's
disable the render collection

and let's click on the scene collection.

Press C to create a new one.

Let's call this one props,

because here, we wanna
put in all the props

we create for our scene.

For example, the whole campfire thing.

And actually, I would
like to put logs_pile

out of the campfire because
it does not really belong

to the whole campfire thing.

Let's select the props, press C,

create this new collection
and call it tent.

And you guessed it.

We will create the tent now.

And I think we will start with a cube.

What do you think?

Well, yeah? Then, let's
take this cube bottom.

Put it in here, press Alt +
G to place it on the ground.

And this little dude
here, let's rotate this.

I hold down Ctrl, so it's
snapping each five degrees.

So, that we rotate him in 90 degrees,

so that he's laying on the ground.

And now, let's measure how
big the tent should be.

So, I want this to be a
tent with enough room.

So, let's scale it up a little bit,

so it's not too tiny.

And I think the height is just right.

Then, let's press Ctrl
+ A and apply the scale.

And let's also call this one tent here.

Then, let's change the material to tent.

And I want this to be somewhat
orangy, something like this.

Of course, we can change
the color later on.

So, of course we could now
start to shape the tent

out of cubes as we have done before.

However, the tent has a
bit more complex shape.

And as soon as it gets a bit more complex,

it's better to use other
modeling techniques here.

However, in the end, we will
just have these cubic shapes.

First of all, I hit slash on the numpad,

switch to local view
with the tent selected.

So, basically everything else,

which is not selected, will be hidden.

And if I hit slash on the
numpad again, we will go back.

You can see it over here,

on this local in brackets,
that we are in local view.

If you don't have a numpad,

you can click on view, local view,

and then, toggle local view.

Now, let's switch over to edit
mode and let's do something,

which we are actually not allowed
to, but don't tell anyone.

Let's add some loop cuts here.

With Ctrl + R, let's scroll
the mouse wheel once.

So, we have two loop cuts.

Left-click and then, left-click again,

because right now, we
are in this slide mode.

And if you slide it somewhere else,

simply right-click or hit escape.

And then, the loop cuts are
perfectly in the center.

Now, let's press Alt + Z to disable x-ray.

Press 3 for the face election

and then, let's press S, X,

and scale this down here,
something like this.

Then, let's press 2
for the edge selection.

Select this whole loop by pressing Alt,

and then, left clicking on one edge,

scale this on the x-axis.

Something like this.

And this does indeed look like a tent.

Maybe, let's move this down a bit.

And then this one, let's select this.

Press double G to slide this down a bit

and then scale this along
the x-axis once again.

Now, let's make the shape of the tent

a bit more interesting.

First of all, let's go to
the face selection, three,

select these two faces and press Y

With Y, we splitting the faces,

and let's do the same
thing on the other side.

Y, then, let's also
select the face up here,

since this is also still
connected to the other ones,

press Y and then, this
is also disconnected.

Let's select all of them
here and press S, Y,

and scale it a bit along the y-axis.

Let's use the edge selection,
select this edge here,

and this one here, press double G.

Then, we can slide it.

However, now it's
limited to the face size.

And if we now press C, we can
go longer, as you can see.

Make this a bit longer,
something like this.

Then, let's also select
this front part here.

Press Y to separate this
and now, with Ctrl + R,

let's add one loop cut in the center.

And then, when you select an edge,

which you want to split up,

you don't press Y, you press V.

Then, the edge will be split.

And now, let's press one
for the vertex selection.

Select one of the vertices here

and move them to the side, so
that the tent is a bit open.

Something like this.

So, now the tent has the shape we want.

Let's enable x-ray.

Maybe move this top
part a little bit down.

And maybe, this part also down a bit.

Something like this.

So, I took care when creating this tent

that I only create quads,

meaning faces with four
vertices and four edges here.

So, I don't have any loop cuts going

through here and stuff like this.

However, you can see that these big faces

are still connected to each other.

And in the end, we just want
to have like single cubes

or at least it should look like it.

And for that, let's go
over to the modifiers.

Switch over to object mode and
add the edge split modifier.

And here we can split the
edges by a certain angle.

And here, if we enter
zero, each and every edge

of the whole tent will be splitted.

However, right now,
everything is super flat.

We don't have these cubic shapes.

So, let's add the solidify modifier

and this modifier adds thickness.

So, let's hold on shift and
then left-click and hold,

and carefully slide this to the side.

Now, you can see everything becomes cubic.

And with the offset, we can
slide this in or out a bit.

Usually, I set this to
zero, so it's in the center

and then, you can also see that

the faces are splitted here.

Now, this is all nice.

However, I want to randomize the rotation

and everything from the faces a bit.

So, let's actually apply the modifier.

So, we can do it either here with apply

or we can simply go to the 3D view port,

press Ctrl + A, to open up the apply menu

and then, click on
visual geometry to mesh.

Then, all the modifiers will be applied.

Now, let's go over to edit mode.

Press P and click on
separate by loose parts.

Now, you can see each of these
cubic parts are separated.

However, the origin is still down here.

So, let's select everything,
right-click, set origin,

origin to geometry.

Now, the origins are back
on these specific objects.

Here, you can see for example,

the lower object is peeking through here.

So, let's rotate this a bit

and now you're totally free
to, like, adjust everything.

Let's select everything and press Q

to open up my quick favorites menu.

And here, I have this
randomize transform option,

which I added to my quick favorites.

Otherwise, you can find it here under

object, transform, randomize transform.

And let's run this operation.

And, now we can randomize
everything a bit,

just very slightly.

So, I want to have a little
bit of randomness in here,

in the location and also, in the rotation.

So in the end, you can actually see that

these are different cubic shapes.

And also, for the scaling,
let's enable scale even.

And let's scale, this
just a tiny little bit.

Something like this.

Like you can see everything
has shifted a bit.

If you realize something
is, like, too much shifted,

of course, you can also
manually move stuff around.

But anyway, in the end,
it's all pretty far away.

So let's don't care about that too much.

However, there's still one issue.

You can see, we have this
bottom gradient now on each

of those parts, which looks a bit weird.

So, now let's rejoin some of the parts

to make it look better.

For example, these two
parts, let's select them.

Press Ctrl + J and then you can see

how this gradient is scaling
through the whole object.

Same thing here, here, and also here.

Now, since we added modifiers
and we basically changed

the actual geometry, the UV map of

our objects is not correct anymore.

And as you remember, we
need this basic UV map

in order to have this darken edge effect.

However, this is pretty simple to fix.

Let's select everything,
go over to edit mode,

select everything with A, and
press view and click on reset.

Now, it was resetted for
each individual face,

as you can see.

And now, we also have this
nice edge darkened effect here.

Now, let's add some basic patches,

so that the tent looks a bit repaired.

For that, let's use a cube
button, place it somewhere here.

Then, under snapping,
this snapping option,

let's enable face and let's
enable these two options.

That means we could enable
snapping all the time,

however, I like to use holding down Ctrl

to enable it temporarily.

First of all, scale this down a bit,

a bit longer, and super flat.

And then, press G to move it
around and hold down Ctrl.

And now, it's snapping to the
surface here, as you can see.

Let's move it somewhere here.

I think it can be even
flatter. Something like this.

Let's rotate it a bit and then press G

and then Ctrl, again, to
snap this to the surface.

Let's add a few patches here and there,

and scale them a bit.

And also, to the other side,

which we maybe don't see in the end,

but you know, maybe we do.

If we want to rotate the tent then,

let's select all the patches here.

Then, select one of the tent parts.

Press Ctrl + L and
click on link materials.

And by the way, you can see these parts

are now called a bit differently.

So, let's Ctrl + F2,
selected, type, set name, new.

And let's also call it tent,

so it belongs to all these tent parts.

Let's fix this little thing here.

I don't want to have
this to be too choppy.

Something like this.

Now, let's select everything

and apply the scale, just in case.

And now, let's hit slash
on the numpad again,

or go to view, local view, and
click on toggle local view.

Now we are back.

This little dude is lying
in here. Looks good.

And in the next video, and
let's finalize the tent.
