All language subtitles for 37 - Tileset Creation Pt 1

All right so now that we know if some of the basics of blender

We can get started actually making our art assets for our project now as I said in April

This video in this course and really only going to be covering the tools and functionality that is required to make

If you are interested in

Learning more about blender in all of its functionality is because it has a lot of functionality and I do

You taking the blender mega course with the blender basics

A portion of it if you're not

Very familiar with wonder or the concepts behind 3D modelling

That being said let's move forward and what we are going to be making today

Is we're going to start on our tilesets tilesets in

Game development are the pieces of mesh that need to snap together in a seamless way

Things like our walls in our floor in our ceilings r o b tiling

Because they're right next to each other

We need to create them in such a way that there's no seems or gaps

Piece of self so that is what we are going to be covering today we're going to be making our for my wall piece

So the first step

For making this is here I have just a new general blender file here in the first

Just like everything in the scene in press the week

To delete a lot

Because we're not going to be using the cube for that's what we are going to be using is a mess

Put pressure stedet in add a new mesh plane into the sea

Now if you recall our wall pieces for all 4 m by 4 m that does all the dementia

Reset

And by default blender as in new Match prisoners at a

Dimension of 2 mm typically

These gridlines here each represent 1 m

So this playing is a 2 by 2 plane

So the first thing I want to do is scale this app however I'm not going to scales to 4 m

You may expect to my mind at the moment

Scale this properly so what I'm going to do is in object mode I'm going to select

SCS

In 4

2 scale this out by a factor of 4 because 2 x 4 is of course 8 and you can see here

We're ages we have a plane of 8 m by 8 m

Now you may be wondering why I'm doubling the size and that is because the method we are going to you

Create this

Texture is going to require us to use tiling in order for things to appear

Mostly in our final result without any weird hitches or gaps you need to use a tiling method

The scale is 2 twice the size of a needs to be and we're going to create or

Mesh on it

But eventually we are going to break it down at 2

4 by 4 mm wall segment

And I'm having a little extra room when you're working with tiling a can help you achieve a better result

So here we have our 8 mm by 8 mm wall piece

And

The first thing we need to do it we need to add more geometry to it because if we were to tab in

Now consists of a single face

Which we are not going to be able to add any detail to this until it has

Points to work with

So the way that we're going to go about that is by using a subdivision surface modifier

Division is the process of dividing faces evenly

Into smaller faces so if I were to subdivide this in a normal way

I could in edit mode select this face

Can we discuss this earlier in the course

We're not going to be doing it

Irregular mesh modelling we are going to be using a subdivision surface modifier

The process just a little bit

In the properties panel on the right here

Click on the icon

To bring up the modifiers pen

Modifiers are automatic operations that affect an object's geometry in a non-destructive way

Which modifiers you can perform mini fix automatically that would otherwise be too tedious to do manually

And also it will not affect the beef geometry of your object

Spell to add a subdivision surface modifier to the smash here all we have to do is click admin

Subdivision surface and you can immediately see what this has done it has subtle

But it also has also smoothed it out

So we get sort of this more a circular form right here and that is

This option right here this catmull Clark is describing the subdivision algorithm in is using

Is dividing it and then smoothing it

If we wanted to divide without smoothing

Which in this case we do

What we wanna do is come over

Now this will return our plane to its original form but we do have some subdivision

Underneath

So I'm going to go ahead and click the levels of subdivision up to would save for

So what does has done here is this essentially tells us how many times to perform this up

Operation cell

When I write quite impressed some divide directly into the mash and that was subdividing the national 1 time

I'm here and I'm here so the subdivision surface modifier has just allowed me to do

4 times very quickly

If I was to anybody would see that I still have a singular face here and

Is because of course I'm working with a modifier which is a non-destructive method for mesh edit

However we are going to need to be able to

So the way that we take this information into arm

Which is by applying the modifier

How to apply the modifier with come over here to the modifier in the modifier stack

Click on the floor drop down arrow anus in option here which says apply

Now if when you click down and this is greyed out

And you cannot apply it this is because you are still in edit milk modifiers can only be applied to all

While they are in object mode so if this is the case just press tab to return to object mode and you should be

How to apply the modifier

See all the point in the Sunderland that has created here and now we can work with these

Individual-level

What is really great for adding detail to your model

So this has given us a really good starting point so what I actually want to

For this wall piece is sort of just a generic stone wall texture

So I think the best way to go about

Creating this is actually by using our sculpting mode

Cell to enter sculpting Mode all we have to do a select the object that we wish to sculpt on

And from the motor drop-down list for going to choose sculptor

Sculpting in

3D modelling

Within the world of 3R is

Somewhere tomorrow in in that it is a method of manoeuvring these points on our playing around however

This is just

Done in a more artistic way than modelling which is a little bit more mathematical so

When you go to Ascot on your piece if I just click and right now you can see that

Underneath my brush here

I have pushed all these vertices up

Just control the angle that cos that's not actually what we want to do

So over on the left here we had our two panel of all of our different stuffing

Brushes so I can pulleys out to view all their names here and there's lots of different brush

Is that we can use to school on the surface and these are all meant to replicate the

Process of sculpting in clay so you can think of our playing here is just a flat piece of clay that we want to

More in-depth about sculpting when we talk about proper creation

For now just now that is assistant of allowing us to move our vertices around by basically drawing

Directly onto our mesh

Here you can see that it's moving all these points up

And in

The forming lamb from the surface of our plane but quite faceted and jagged and

We don't have enough geometry

2

Click here to create anything visually wedding

So what we need to do if we need to increase the

Number of points the number of subdivisions on this plane further now

This is sad increasing

Subdivisions to the level that is generally required for a sculpting

Very performance heavy in calcium machine to slow down or what

Winner has cleverly come up with some ways to use a high number of poly

In a more formal way

So I'm just going to press ctrl Z Don Jesus marks I made

I'm going to come back over here to the Mont fire stick because we need a new modifier in order to get the dentist

That we need

To do the Scott

In the morning Forest I'm just going to add another fire in this time I'm going to choose a multiresolution

Now what is done immediately is nothing because we have no levels of sub division

This is another modifier that we're going to use for subdivision but this one is made specifically to work in school

So what multiresolution us to do is we can press the Sunday life here

And you can see that we've already said running out the corners because we are increasing the levels of sunburn

Each time you press this button

So now if I said divide the slip say three times and coming here and Scott

You can see using the same job rush with the same settings I get a match in the result in this is going to allow

To draw in the details that we need

Because we are creating tilesets Deezer rounded corners are going to be in a shield so I'm just going to take control Z

To undo it because it's very important when creating tiling textures in tiling measures

That they be able to snap together perfectly in all

Directions so if I were to duplicate the smash out in the y-direction here

And in the extraction there should be no gas

Sell I've just done my son divisions here in instead of clicking subdivide in order

Keep this I just typed I'm just gonna hit these simple subdivision

And

Let's Go app too I think

Every year for bed I'm going to check the number of polygons that I have here

Coming up to my overlays drop down in enabling statistics

So I will get read out in the corner that tells me how many vertices and faces are currently working with

You can also tell if you if your message dance enough just by making a stroke

And checking on a quality of a hair cell this is still a bit love

Do it let's do a simple sum division up to

Yes I'll start with this 262 or

Rafael Behr

So as you can see when I draw on this is much smaller than the result I was getting before

However at the really nice thing about the multi res is that at any point if I needed to make a la

Stroke I could my son divisions by coming into this modifier

Looking down and you can see that the

Daddy subdivisions are dynamically di resin

What's really cool like this is that I can then make Strokes at my lower subdivision level

And when I return to my higher one

It will be

The struggle still be there and it will be smooth out so this is really good for dynamics

Because it helps you get the forms you need and at the level of detail that need them

I'm just going to control seat and do the strokes because for this we want to create a course a tiling

Or stone like texture

I'm going to do it for 7

To come into top or the graphics you because I want to be a viewing this

Straight down

The next thing I'm going to do here is coming to my active 2 and workspace settings here we have

Dear we have

What's a settings for whatever brass you currently have selected so if I select a different brush here from

Toolbar you can see my settings a change

Now the selling rights pacifically want to look at for this is under the need the cemetery Ops

What's tomorrow about sculpting with symmetry when we talk about props

Lights

In this particular case I want to look at the lock and the tiling options

So

We walk option here will prevent movement in any Direction that you select here cell

In this case the X and Y because I don't want

My points to move this way or this way

I want to move up and down away from the plane

And the circuit

Option here and more importantly is the tiling this is what is going to allow us to create

A piece that seamlessly when it is when there is an array of them next to each

So I'm going for a 7 to return to

Orthographic view here

I'm just going to pulleys

I'm just saying that my

Keystroke capture is fortified to see here so we just fix our liquid

Cell area that's all better and now you can see the names of the brushes as I'm using them as well

We want this piece to be a 4-way tiled piece which means that I can tell

Or in this direction in there will be no seems or gas

Keep in mind that the red wine in blender is for the extraction in the green is for why

And does the X and Y directions

So now I need to go about sculpting in the actual Stones or bricks

And the way I shouldn't to do this is by using decrease pressure right here

Now as an employers when you draw with a crease brush

Yeah she will push down and pin chin

The line cell in here

Create an indentation like that as opposed to the dry brush which was pushing upwards

This is what I want

4

Netanel self

I will send a version somewhere when I am dead but you can also see when I draw on this with the

How the styling feature works instead of just drying underneath my singular stroke is going to tile

In all directions so you can see here on the Edge

It has split my stroke along the edge here

In such a way that

If I were to tile this

In fact let me just quickly pop into object no to show you that

Also if you were using the materials and you come and object mode in all your detail disappears

You didn't lose your work don't don't worry it's just because this setting for level viewport is still set to zero

Turn up to five in your throat will be there again

I'm going to show you how this tiles by just having a quick modifier of an array here so

Modifier does it basically just simply duplicates

Your mash your object in whatever direction to whatever dimensions you set here

Account on 21 so we have a total of 2 of these

One time one of its own length

Across The xx

So you could increase the count any number of times and it would still tile on this Direction

Additionally

If we create another array modifier here

Set the X Factor 20

Set the lights after 21

We can see here that this is tiling seamlessly in all directions because of court or actual match that's here

I'm on fire we can we can

Duplicate any number of times and there's no

Gaps here where are stroke what is

Cell

That is one of the basis for what we're going to do here

Control Z to get out of this

So I just control Z to get back to your basic playing here with no stroke some money

And a subdivision

Level five

So

With Allah in mind we can now basically doesn't draw a what we want our whilst

But because we are working in 3D drawing a flat image of course

Going to push and pull overseas oven down to create a 3D effect

I just press 7 to return to orthographic mode

And continue crease brush with a relatively small size you can incrementally increase

And decrease the size with the bracket keys here or you can press f and use your mouse to select

The size that you wish I'm going to go pretty smile here

And what I'm going to do is I'm going to come over to the edge

Click

Before I start to draw on a serious one more setting I need to change

So in the actor tool

Here are the properties saying that I need to change my stroke

Because right now it's just a free hand

Stroke underneath my cursor but I want to be able to create straight lines to create the gaps in between your breasts

To do that I'm going to

Within the cruise ship sail from going to come down here to where it says it's stroke

And here it's a stroke method is Facebook going to change that to line so now on a click and drag and get a line

Release

That line is drawn in

Ok so now we are ready to actually start the strength of this up to

1

So you can change the strength of your address right here

It was the same setting that is right here in the sidebar as well

Just a quick and then I'm going to press all to lock the rotation to

45 Ingle

So it will snap and come across here

And I'm just going to release

And it will create four of us perfect

Indented wine here that you can see if you look at it and profile and has pushed the vertices in

So now I'm going to do it

Use the grid lines as our my rough estimate for where to place even just going to continue this app

Until we have horizontal lines across the entire match

You have to click first and then press old which is a little bit tricky when you're selecting close to the edge

Can you get diesel at all

Searchers in this don't worry too much about this because we don't want our stones to be completely Perth

That was strange

And damage to these afterwards so don't worry too much about slight

Because you don't actually have to pull your stroke across your entire mesh if you like to zoom and you just

To pull it over the lines here the y-axis and the x-axis line

It is a pretty good basis for art stone tiling texture

How large do you want the stones is

Entirely up to you so if you wanted the stones to tile load it smaller you can just go in and out

In between the ones that we've just added

And like these are

Completely perfectly even I think that's going to be ok in this case I think it'll still

You don't want everything to be completely uniform because that's just not natural looking

That one creating tiling measures you definitely want to avoid

Anyway large form features that are going to be noticed when

This is repeated across many many

Wall pieces that are all start right next to each other

Ok sweetheart horizontal lines and now I'm going to do is using the exact same method I'm just going to add some vertical

Across this space

Zoom into the upper quadrant because this is

This is what makes up like a single tile

I don't want these to be perfectly uniform because it's just not the look that I'm going for

If you didn't want them to be

Perfect TV deathly use the grid to to achieve that

I'm just trying to get some variation in the sizes in the width of the years

Putting on to make sure that it's nothing exactly

Exactly aligned with the with the world

My hero

Overshot mine creases a little bit and not

Especially concerned about that because I think I'll just incorporate that in as part of the natural like day

Engine roughness of the bricks

That's like a little bit more Square in here

Give me that one lol that longer

Two long sides Justified that one

Can get something roughly like that so when you zoom out

You can see if you really sad they're in love you could see the repeating elements but to the eye

Just going to read this as a brick wall

So that is going to be like the basis for this but now I'm just going to come in in

Detail so I'm gonna do is I'm going to come back to my modifier stack

One more time just so we have about a million points here to work with I

Can I find out for like a mid-range PC which is what I'm working on here

Sculpting

Generally give you the details that you need without crashing your computer which is death

Also make sure that you save a lot

Call Lewis

Because I went when sculpting working with Billy hi

Polycount here you can potentially crash your PC if you have a lorry

PC to definitely make sure you save a lot

Cell

And some like some roughness to these cos there for two square in for two uniform

I found that the ascribed brush works really well in this particular case but I'm you can definitely experiment with

All these brushes and I encourage you to do that but I'm going to use the scraper brush right here

I'm going to increase my size a bit not too much because I don't want

Too much damage going across these bricks

What I'm going to do hear them when I come in and just start laughing

To a Rough up the edges especially

Fortunately because we are still using the tiling in are sculpt here

When I only have to do one quarter of this and all of this will

Carry over to the other quarter in so you can think of it is doing like a quarter of the work

So I am using a drawing tablet for this

This is it necessary for sculpting but it does make it a lot easier

Because you do have you using more than natural drawing stroke

With the pen in you can use the pressure of the pen to determine that things like

Dr strange here and even the size of I click this

If you do have a drink hour that may help me with this amazing things up

Not strictly necessary however everything I'm doing can be accomplished with a mouse and keyboard you just now

I have to come in in manually settings like the size of the strength of a little bit more often than I'm doing

So

There's not

Any special technique here I just have my scrape brush a decent me high strength and all I'm doing

Coming around

And just giving the edges at once over and not been too careful with that because of course

China accomplishes adding some

Natural variation and damage to bed

I'm also trying to vary the amount of that I add to each of these brexit like for some of these are coming in

To the brackets elsmore and some of these and sticking closer to the edge

Just you just can I have to get a feel for it in eyeball it and just kind of work with the mesh

Can I go to hear over over shot Minecraft little bit

I'm just getting work that in as part of the day men

You want to avoid

Too many things like this

Because I'll start to

Penis ball when you start to tile them

So you can have white any sort of Damaja detailing that you add over your messages if they're

Uniform away so that when you zoom out

Large spots that stand out of the eye

Increase the strength of my brush to one here just have a little bit

So you don't really spend a lot of time on this but I think that is sufficient for

This is

I'm not quite dance cutting their says I've added some nice chunky Danish Charlotte corners

The the surfaces of the tsar

How much to smooth cell

What's the different ways that you could go about adding some surface variation to this

I think the way I'm going to do it is by using a texture alpha self

In The Plaza recording in we come back we're going to talk about how to add a little bit more surface detail to our wall
