WEBVTT 00:00.240 --> 00:05.610 In this lesson, I'd like to discuss Texture's if we take a look at the reference so we can see that 00:05.610 --> 00:14.850 the doors of the Ghostbuster trap have this yellow and black tape on it and some other ways it's representative, 00:14.860 --> 00:16.590 maybe it's paint or something like that. 00:17.070 --> 00:19.410 But for us, we just need to kind of get this texture down. 00:19.740 --> 00:24.960 And traditionally, what you would expect is maybe taking a photograph and somehow bringing a photograph 00:24.960 --> 00:26.010 in here and using that. 00:26.550 --> 00:33.510 And that's a file texture, which is totally a possibility of something to use. 00:34.020 --> 00:38.220 But there are two different types of texturing in 3-D. 00:38.700 --> 00:46.830 One is called procedural and the other, I guess, is really just photographic texturing for lack of 00:46.830 --> 00:48.290 a better category. 00:48.630 --> 00:54.960 So the difference between like a photograph texture and procedural is the fact that procedural implies 00:55.230 --> 01:00.960 that you can update this in real time and you'll begin to understand what I mean when we start to compare 01:00.960 --> 01:01.380 the two. 01:01.590 --> 01:05.730 So let's first take a look at what using a photographic texture might look like. 01:06.240 --> 01:08.850 We could maybe download one of these images. 01:10.200 --> 01:15.660 We could try to find a top down view and projected on there. 01:15.960 --> 01:22.740 Conversely, we could open up Photoshop and create our own texture inside Photoshop so you could open 01:22.740 --> 01:26.880 up Photoshop, create a new texture. 01:26.880 --> 01:34.050 You could go in and use paint brushes and do all type of things to create the texture. 01:34.080 --> 01:36.480 That would be a little bit time consuming. 01:36.480 --> 01:42.570 But at the end of the day, what you would be left with is something that's baked down, meaning you 01:42.570 --> 01:44.580 can't change it inside of Miah. 01:44.760 --> 01:54.540 You would have to go back into Photoshop and change it yourself and then save out a new file texture 01:54.540 --> 01:58.620 and then update that file texture, then bring it back into Myia. 01:58.860 --> 02:06.770 And there's a lot of back and forth that you'd have to do to get this done with a file texture. 02:07.590 --> 02:09.030 So let's play that out. 02:09.900 --> 02:16.140 So let's do one door with a photograph texture and the other door with the procedural texture and compare 02:16.140 --> 02:18.300 the results in this lesson. 02:18.300 --> 02:21.710 Let's just focus on the photographic texture in the next lesson, we'll do the procedural. 02:22.140 --> 02:26.790 So I'm going to close this down while we're working because sometimes I can actually crash when it's 02:26.790 --> 02:29.880 trying to constantly update and you're adding new things to it. 02:29.880 --> 02:34.770 So it's better to just either pause it by hitting the stop button here or just by closing it altogether 02:34.770 --> 02:36.140 and we'll open it up again later. 02:36.570 --> 02:38.940 So I'm also going to close down the slides because we don't need that. 02:39.480 --> 02:47.070 And so I need to add a new material, a new shader, because we can't apply texture without a new shader. 02:47.400 --> 02:50.880 And because this is going to be a unique thing, it needs to have its own shader. 02:51.270 --> 02:51.810 So I'm going to right. 02:51.810 --> 02:54.030 Click and go to assign the material. 02:54.450 --> 02:56.400 In our case, we could really choose anything. 02:56.400 --> 02:59.280 But let's just stick with Arnold materials for now. 02:59.940 --> 03:02.280 We can use an A.I. standard surface, as always. 03:02.670 --> 03:03.630 And now what do we do? 03:03.780 --> 03:05.730 We're stuck with the same kind of dialog box. 03:05.730 --> 03:12.270 There doesn't really appear to be anywhere to put in a file, an image file that we have so we can click 03:12.270 --> 03:15.180 these little checker boxes over here and say. 03:16.130 --> 03:17.240 Create render a.. 03:17.930 --> 03:21.890 What we get is a lot more options, and what we want is the final option. 03:21.920 --> 03:23.540 We want to add a file to this. 03:23.990 --> 03:25.350 We could add a lot of different things. 03:25.370 --> 03:26.630 We're going to get to this later. 03:26.960 --> 03:32.060 But right now, we're doing what if we wanted to add a texture to this, a photograph, an image file. 03:32.070 --> 03:33.120 We want to click file. 03:33.530 --> 03:38.660 So now we have this and we can direct the path to where it needs to go. 03:39.350 --> 03:44.320 And by default, if we've set our project, it's going to look in the source images folder. 03:44.810 --> 03:50.900 So in the source images folder, I have the photograph, the texture I just made in Photoshop and I 03:50.900 --> 03:51.620 can open that. 03:53.580 --> 03:58.390 So now nothing's happening because we can't see the texture. 03:58.410 --> 04:03.780 We need to turn on textures here in the middle viewport so I can click textured or I can hit six. 04:04.410 --> 04:11.010 And now we see that I indeed have a texture here and it looks pretty good. 04:11.820 --> 04:12.720 But you know what? 04:13.110 --> 04:17.270 I don't like the distance at which these black bars are. 04:17.580 --> 04:19.500 So what does that process look like? 04:19.530 --> 04:22.470 That means I have to go back into Photoshop. 04:22.920 --> 04:24.840 I have to adjust the texture. 04:25.500 --> 04:34.050 I have to delete this, maybe start over, do all these types of things, then save out a new JPEG file, 04:34.980 --> 04:44.250 go back in here, go to the shader, go to the color and update this file here or reload it. 04:44.250 --> 04:46.140 If I saved over it, I can also. 04:46.140 --> 04:46.290 Right. 04:46.290 --> 04:47.670 Click here to see a preview of it. 04:48.870 --> 04:53.010 So that's quite a bit of back and forth and you need a whole different program to do that. 04:53.190 --> 04:59.220 So let's in the next lesson discover the advantage of procedural texturing and how that might be able 04:59.220 --> 05:05.730 to help us and texturing this other door and making changes much quicker on the fly and adjustments. 05:06.360 --> 05:07.050 Thanks for watching.
