All language subtitles for 23 Creating Variations with a Lattice.en

Hello everyone.

In this lesson I want to show you how I can easily create variations on

any of these objects that we created by using a lattice.

Now a lattice is, is basically a simple shape that we can manipulate.

And as we manipulate the shape of the lattice,

it also manipulates the shape of our more complex object.

So let me show you how that works.

Let's hide this key by clicking and dragging all those icons.

And let's re-enable our chest that we made earlier.

Now if you select the chest,

I'm going to edit mode with tab.

You'll see we have a fairly complicated geometry.

Now, let's go into vertex select mode.

And that makes it very difficult to change

the overall shape of a complex object like this.

So let's go back into object mode.

And what we can do now is press Shift a to add,

then go down to lattice and click on lattice.

And it's going to solid view by holding on z,

we will have to solid view and releasing z

and then activate x-ray mode as well by holding on Z,

moving a mouse down and releasing Z.

And then we can see the lattice that we created now.

So it's going to front view with numpad 1.

And now we can press S to scale,

make that a bit bigger and lifted to apply,

press G to grab Z,

to change the z axis and move that up.

And basically we want to do is make sure

the entire chest is contained within the shape of our lattice.

So it's pretty scale again,

x discount on the x-axis.

And left-click. Cool.

I can see the chase this inside the lattice completely.

Now the lattice selected.

Let's go to the properties of the lattice over here, and let's click on that.

And then we can see the resolution for the lattice.

And as we increase this,

you see we have more detail to our lattice object.

So we're going to turn the u value up to four and the v and the w values up to three.

Cool.

So now we have a bit more control over the overall shape.

But still simple enough that we can easily change the shape of this lattice.

And now we need to add a lattice modifier to our chest.

So let's click on the chest.

Go to modify our Properties.

Click on Add Modifier and then undeformed your CV letters modifier.

So let's click on that and info object.

We can click on this little dropper and select our lattice that we created.

So let's click and they can see it says lattice.

Now insulate the lattice again and press Tab to go into edit mode.

And now we can select any of these vertices of the lattice.

And if you press G to grab,

you'll see changes the shape of our chest as well.

Let's go into camera view quickly with NumPy at 0 and if 12 to render.

And let's make this a bit bigger.

I'm going to switch this over to slot one, if 12 again.

And then we can switch over to slot t2.

And now we can make some changes to the lattice.

I'm going to select those corners and those corners.

Press G to grab Z to constrain it to the z axis and then move them down.

And click Apply, then click and drag to select these top vertices,

press G to grab again Z to Christianity the z axis, and move those up.

If 12 again to see what that looks like.

Ooh.

And I can see we can easily make

some cool variations on the objects that we created already.

So let's switch back to slot one by pressing one nano keyboard.

So this is the original chaste,

and this is the variation that we made.

Now let's press three to go two slot three plus that down.

And with those middle ones still selected,

let's press G to grab Z to move them and visit axis.

Move him down.

In select this corner ones again,

holding Shift and select those.

Press G to grab Z to constrain it to the z-axis and move those up, something like that.

And let's select these middle-sized ones as well.

Hold down, Shift, select those.

And I went to scale those inwards on the x axis.

So I'm going to press S, scale x to constrain it to the x-axis and move those in a bit.

We go, It's press if 12 again.

And then we have another weird variation on our chest.

And then we can switch between the slots to see the difference between the variations.

So you can either select the slots over here or we can just place 123 on our keyboard.

So that's the first one, that's the second 1, third 1.

And in this way you can easily create variations to the shape of your objects.

And you want to take this one step further.

You can go in and change the colors of these different variations as well.

Let's go back into object mode.

Now we can make a copy of this object in this shape.

And do that.

Let's press Shift D to

duplicate and then right-click to sell it back to the original location.

And then in the modifier properties,

we can click on this little drop-down and click Apply.

And now if we move this out of the lattice,

you'll see it keeps that shape.

So now I can click on the lattice again,

go back into edit mode.

Let's look those ones.

G to grab Z to constrain to the z axis.

Windows down.

I'm just going to move these up again.

Go back into object mode,

select our chest again,

press Shift D to make a duplicate copy of that.

And then Katia modify properties and apply the lattice and press G to grab,

move that to the side.

And if you go into material view,

you can see we have different variations to our chest.

And if you want to go back to the original shape of your chest,

we can simply go back to the modify properties and remove this lattice modifier Qu.

And that is how easy it is to use the lattice to

make some different variations of your objects.
