WEBVTT 00:00.880 --> 00:03.560 Keeping with the same theme of the lesson here, 00:03.560 --> 00:05.640 what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna actually 00:05.640 --> 00:08.440 take a look at this perforated screen material. 00:08.440 --> 00:12.400 So right now, if I were to just do a quick rendering 00:12.400 --> 00:13.480 of this view, 00:15.120 --> 00:17.000 just doing a quick draft rendering 00:17.000 --> 00:19.240 just so we can see what it looks like. 00:19.240 --> 00:21.640 I'll even zoom in a little closer here. 00:21.640 --> 00:23.400 You'll see that all of these materials 00:23.400 --> 00:24.480 are gonna look the same. 00:24.480 --> 00:25.680 This guy here, 00:26.200 --> 00:30.320 the mullion and the perforated screen, 00:30.320 --> 00:33.000 all are gonna have the same appearance to them 00:33.000 --> 00:35.480 because they're all using the same asset. 00:35.480 --> 00:38.520 And so we clearly don't want that for the screen, 00:38.520 --> 00:41.160 we'd like it to actually look somewhat perforated 00:41.160 --> 00:44.640 so you can see here, not perforated at all. 00:44.640 --> 00:47.160 And so we're gonna take a look at that 00:47.160 --> 00:51.480 and see what we can do to get it to look 00:51.480 --> 00:53.440 the way we want to. 00:53.440 --> 00:55.640 And so I'll start by selecting it, 00:59.440 --> 01:00.800 going to edit type, 01:02.160 --> 01:04.320 editing that material structure 01:04.320 --> 01:06.480 and then it says aluminum screen. 01:06.480 --> 01:08.600 And we're one step away from this, 01:08.600 --> 01:11.320 but we need to just make sure we're using a different asset. 01:11.320 --> 01:13.160 And like we talked about before, 01:13.160 --> 01:15.240 using satin, which is the same as the one 01:15.240 --> 01:16.760 that's on this aluminum, 01:16.760 --> 01:17.840 isn't gonna work for us. 01:17.840 --> 01:21.400 So we need to go in and we need to replace the asset 01:21.400 --> 01:22.720 with something else. 01:24.440 --> 01:27.600 And so when I go to replace it, 01:27.600 --> 01:31.200 what I wanna do is I can actually look through 01:31.200 --> 01:32.200 the different materials. 01:32.200 --> 01:34.080 And what I'm gonna do actually here 01:34.080 --> 01:37.120 is I'm gonna duplicate this one first. 01:40.200 --> 01:42.360 And it gives me just satin one. 01:44.240 --> 01:45.280 And when we look through, 01:45.280 --> 01:47.360 you can see here's all the different information, 01:47.360 --> 01:50.960 aluminum screen, the different description of it. 01:50.960 --> 01:53.120 And then we have our appearance here, 01:53.120 --> 01:54.880 which under the information, 01:54.880 --> 01:58.720 we can change the name to something different if we wanted to 01:58.720 --> 02:02.120 so I can call it aluminum screen 02:02.120 --> 02:06.400 because that makes a lot more sense than satin one, right? 02:06.400 --> 02:10.360 And then we can replace it with a different one 02:10.360 --> 02:12.280 or we can modify it as is. 02:12.280 --> 02:15.080 And so we have those options to where I could go in 02:15.080 --> 02:17.280 and I could say the cutouts, 02:17.280 --> 02:19.360 which are gonna be the perforations, 02:19.360 --> 02:23.880 are what I want to have added to this one. 02:23.880 --> 02:25.800 And so you can see there's the staggered circles. 02:25.800 --> 02:27.640 So if I check this box, 02:27.640 --> 02:29.000 I have all these different options 02:29.000 --> 02:31.440 for the different cutouts I have. 02:31.440 --> 02:34.080 And if you're not willing to go through the effort 02:34.080 --> 02:35.520 of creating your own custom one, 02:35.520 --> 02:37.040 like we're doing here, 02:37.040 --> 02:40.720 you can always go through and use that replace asset. 02:40.720 --> 02:43.360 And I'm not gonna guarantee it, 02:43.360 --> 02:46.000 but it's gonna be pretty close to saying 02:46.000 --> 02:48.560 that there's gonna be a lot of different types of metals in here. 02:48.560 --> 02:52.480 So you can see I'm in the different types of aluminum 02:52.480 --> 02:55.760 and there may or may not be a perforated one in here, 02:55.760 --> 02:57.920 but there's gonna be something 02:57.920 --> 03:00.400 that's really close to what you're looking for. 03:00.400 --> 03:02.120 And so in our case, 03:02.120 --> 03:07.120 by simply going in and grabbing the cutouts option 03:07.280 --> 03:10.720 and saying the check box there, 03:10.720 --> 03:14.040 we can go in and I can say whether I want staggered circles, 03:14.040 --> 03:17.160 straight circles, squares, hexagons, whatever, 03:17.160 --> 03:18.320 we're looking to use. 03:18.320 --> 03:22.720 And then I can adjust the size and the spacing of it throughout. 03:22.720 --> 03:25.040 At this point, because it's its own asset now, 03:25.040 --> 03:27.720 I can even go in and change the color. 03:27.720 --> 03:29.320 And I don't have to worry about it 03:29.320 --> 03:32.640 impacting the rest of my material assets 03:32.640 --> 03:34.600 because it's its own thing now. 03:34.600 --> 03:37.160 So we're gonna start with just the staggered circles 03:37.160 --> 03:40.120 with this size at this point in time. 03:40.120 --> 03:42.720 And then we'll go ahead and adjust it if we need to. 03:42.720 --> 03:44.560 So let's go ahead and hit OK to get out. 03:45.520 --> 03:48.320 And then we'll go in and do a quick rendering 03:48.320 --> 03:49.800 just to see what it looks like. 03:51.960 --> 03:53.760 Again, I'm just doing a quick one 03:53.760 --> 03:56.720 making sure it's on draft and then screen 03:56.720 --> 03:59.480 because that's typically gonna be a lower resolution. 03:59.480 --> 04:01.440 And it should render pretty quickly here. 04:12.000 --> 04:13.880 As we see it kinda coming into focus, 04:13.880 --> 04:16.680 you can see there's our perforations there. 04:16.680 --> 04:19.240 And it'll be up to you whether you look at that 04:19.240 --> 04:21.680 and you think those are a little too big 04:21.680 --> 04:26.000 or maybe they're not large enough for your taste. 04:26.000 --> 04:28.440 And I think maybe depending on the type of screen 04:28.440 --> 04:31.440 you're looking at doing, these would be pretty large. 04:31.440 --> 04:33.880 And so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go ahead 04:33.880 --> 04:36.880 and reduce it by half. 04:37.200 --> 04:40.200 So I'll jump back into that material. 04:44.280 --> 04:46.280 Into that appearance tab. 04:46.280 --> 04:50.080 And then it's as simple as just going in here instead of 04:50.080 --> 04:55.080 having a diameter of 0.5, I can change it to 0.25. 05:00.080 --> 05:01.880 And the spacing, 05:02.840 --> 05:04.680 we'll have to see how that works out. 05:04.680 --> 05:07.280 But I have a feeling we're gonna want to reduce that 05:07.280 --> 05:09.880 as well to make them more frequent. 05:09.880 --> 05:15.280 So I will go with a 0.35 on that one. 05:15.280 --> 05:19.480 And so we have smaller circles at a tighter frequency. 05:19.480 --> 05:22.880 And let's take a look at the rendering again. 05:25.880 --> 05:28.880 And so looking at this frequency, 05:29.880 --> 05:33.880 and the spacing, that looks much better. 05:33.880 --> 05:36.880 So we're gonna stick with that. 05:42.880 --> 05:45.880 And now we've set up our exterior materials. 05:45.880 --> 05:49.880 So the last one I want to look at here is the glass material. 05:49.880 --> 05:52.880 And this is just me double checking 05:52.880 --> 05:56.880 to make sure the glass material is an appropriate asset. 05:59.880 --> 06:02.880 So we can see this is our appearance. 06:02.880 --> 06:05.880 And it's really just set up as clear glazing, 06:05.880 --> 06:07.880 which is totally fine. 06:07.880 --> 06:09.880 So I'm gonna hit OK. 06:09.880 --> 06:13.880 And this during this stage of the project, 06:13.880 --> 06:15.880 we're doing a lot of things that are gonna be kind of intense 06:15.880 --> 06:16.880 on your computer. 06:16.880 --> 06:21.880 So it's a good idea to do a lot of this quick save.
