3. 0:15>> Hello and welcome back everyone to
4. 0:16Unreal Engine beginner's guide to
5. 0:17building an environment. In the last
6. 0:19lesson we left it off by getting a base
7. 0:22set up with a texture the size of the
8. 0:24walls for our tiny little hut. And right
9. 0:27now we're going to continue adding a
10. 0:29little bit of an extra touch with a side
11. 0:32roof attached to this area. So let's go
12. 0:35ahead and get started. I think we can
13. 0:36start off by getting a nice foundation
14. 0:40pole for this section and I think we
15. 0:42just click add and go to Quixel Bridge
16. 0:46right away.
17. 0:47Then we can search for wood pole
18. 0:50and see what we have. And actually
19. 0:53Sorry about that, it's not a pole, it's
20. 0:55going to be a post.
21. 0:57So if we search for that, we're going to
22. 0:59get some results out of that. So I think
23. 1:02there you go, this is the one that I
24. 1:03quite like. It's a simple but nice bit
25. 1:07of a wooden texture and let's go ahead
26. 1:09and make sure we have this downloaded
27. 1:11and added onto our project.
28. 1:15So once we have it added onto our
29. 1:16project, let's go ahead and close down
30. 1:18this window and go onto the MegaScans 3D
31. 1:21assets and this one is going to be
32. 1:25actually instead of just simply
33. 1:28searching for all of our folders, I find
34. 1:30it easier when we use filters. So in
35. 1:34this tab over here, if we were to click
36. 1:36on it, we can see a bunch of different
37. 1:38filters that we can make use out of. But
38. 1:40this time we're just going to be using a
39. 1:42static mesh tab. So if we were to select
40. 1:45it, it'll show you everything within
41. 1:46those folders that has static mesh as a
42. 1:50label. And that'll include all the
43. 1:52assets that we used previously as well
44. 1:54as the wooden post that we just
45. 1:56downloaded. So let's go ahead and simply
46. 1:58drag and drop it into our world and by
47. 2:01default it is actually quite small. So,
48. 2:03we may we need to make sure we increase
49. 2:05that by quite a large amount. And I
50. 2:07think we can just make sure we have the
51. 2:09snapping tool for the scale enabled and
52. 2:12increase it just like that.
53. 2:15And actually going back to the filters
54. 2:16tab, if you want to change up the assets
55. 2:18and see all of our assets again, we're
56. 2:20going to be able to do that by simply
57. 2:22clicking on this button over here, which
58. 2:24will turn off the filter for the static
59. 2:27meshes. Now, what's nice about doing
60. 2:29this kind of a way when working with
61. 2:31filters is that right now because we
62. 2:33used it previously, this static mesh
63. 2:35tags uh tag is always going to be there.
64. 2:37So, it's actually going to be nice for
65. 2:39when we're working throughout our
66. 2:40project and we want to see all of our
67. 2:42static meshes again, we simply have to
68. 2:44click on this button over here and
69. 2:45that'll just straight up show us all the
70. 2:48static meshes within our Megascans
71. 2:50folder, which is quite nice. So, I'm
72. 2:52just going to actually do save down the
73. 2:54folder, click control and S to save it
74. 2:56and I'm going to reposition this pole to
75. 3:00be to the side.
76. 3:03Going to make it just a little bit
77. 3:04larger. So, maybe it's a little bit too
78. 3:06large actually.
79. 3:08Yeah, make it smaller. This is going to
80. 3:10be quite fine because we're actually
81. 3:11going to have another frame support on
82. 3:14the side.
83. 3:16We're going to position it
84. 3:17in the way that would help us to get rid
85. 3:20of the
86. 3:21placeholder just like that.
87. 3:23Now, for the rest of the roof, we're
88. 3:25going to actually make use out of the
89. 3:27same planks that we had previously. So,
90. 3:29we're just going to grab a couple of
91. 3:30them.
92. 3:32I think something like grabbing five
93. 3:34will do. Now, we're going to hold alt
94. 3:38and make a duplicate by simply dragging
95. 3:40it out into the world like so.
96. 3:43And now I'm just trying to figure out
97. 3:45maybe we needed six. Let me just go
98. 3:47ahead and try to position it
99. 3:49accordingly and see if that will be
100. 3:52enough. And of course that's not going
101. 3:54to be enough.
102. 3:55So actually we need a couple of extra
103. 3:58ones. So instead of five we're going to
104. 4:00need seven. So I'm just going to hit
105. 4:02control Z a couple of times like so.
106. 4:05Make sure I go all the way to before we
107. 4:07when it was duplicated.
108. 4:09And I think I'm just going to grab these
109. 4:10couple like so.
110. 4:12And bring it
111. 4:14up just like that. So we're going to be
112. 4:16able to make use out of these planks
113. 4:19just like that
114. 4:21to have a nice kind of a
115. 4:23texture for the roof.
116. 4:25And I think
117. 4:27Yeah, I think the texture itself is not
118. 4:30going to look quite as nice. So we're
119. 4:31going to be changing that up in a
120. 4:32second. We're actually just going to
121. 4:34position this roof to be rotated a
122. 4:36little bit like so.
123. 4:39And I think we're just going to delete
124. 4:41this placeholder right away.
125. 4:43And the way we want to have this roof is
126. 4:46actually we don't want to have any type
127. 4:47of gaps in between those two. So we're
128. 4:49going to be squishing all of these up a
129. 4:52little bit like so.
130. 4:53And just going to make sure that
131. 4:56they kind of don't have gap in the
132. 4:58middle.
133. 4:59And they only just have a nice kind of a
134. 5:03roof so it would actually protect from
135. 5:05the rain coming downwards. So that's
136. 5:07going to be much nicer I think. And
137. 5:11actually just going to
138. 5:13set them up just like that.
139. 5:16And going to move this other piece like
140. 5:19so.
141. 5:20And this one like that.
142. 5:23And finally this one over here like so.
143. 5:26So now that we have it like that we can
144. 5:28select all of them and what we can do is
145. 5:30actually quite simple. We can just uh
146. 5:33click R go to our scaling and just scale
147. 5:36it up all the way like so. Now this
148. 5:39might look a little bit too stretched
149. 5:41out
150. 5:42but let's go ahead and check that out
151. 5:44before
152. 5:46making any changes.
153. 5:48And I think
154. 5:49I think it'll still look quite nice,
155. 5:50actually. We're going to keep it as is.
156. 5:54In regards to the textures, I think
157. 5:55it'll look really nice, so
158. 5:57we've just got to make sure we attach
159. 5:59this to the side of the roof.
160. 6:01So, let's go ahead and do just that. I'm
161. 6:03actually going to move this
162. 6:05with the gizmo set as local and just
163. 6:07kind of slide it backwards like so, so
164. 6:10we have all of these sticking outwards
165. 6:12just like that.
166. 6:14And I think we'll have some real nice
167. 6:16results by the end of it. We've just got
168. 6:18to make sure we stick it to the side of
169. 6:20the roof.
170. 6:22And it'll give us some really, really
171. 6:25nice patterns to work with.
172. 6:27And actually, we'll need to make some
173. 6:29additional adjustments, but before the
174. 6:30doing that,
175. 6:32we got to make sure we're actually
176. 6:34sticking this to the roof. I'm just
177. 6:36going to click control Z because I mis
178. 6:37selected
179. 6:38my option.
180. 6:41And again, I'm going to stretch it out
181. 6:43even more
182. 6:44until we get this sort of a shape. I
183. 6:47think that's going to look quite all
184. 6:48right.
185. 6:49Of course, these planks are a little bit
186. 6:51too much off.
187. 6:52I'm just going to squish them down a
188. 6:53little bit like so. But, we can actually
189. 6:56make use out of them
190. 6:58and
191. 6:59have them be just like that. And this is
192. 7:03where the variation comes in from
193. 7:05actually by going to the local mode like
194. 7:07so.
195. 7:08We're going to do it in a bit, but
196. 7:09basically, we'll want to kind of slide
197. 7:11uh some of them up and down a little bit
198. 7:14just to make sure
199. 7:16we get some variation in between those
200. 7:18planks.
201. 7:20I think this one we can just for now
202. 7:22focus on the front a little bit. We can
203. 7:24break off the front of the roof just a
204. 7:27little bit more and get a nicer
205. 7:28variation out of this overall kind of a
206. 7:31tile.
207. 7:33So, I think this one
208. 7:35we can instead of just scaling it up, we
209. 7:36can just bring it back a little bit like
210. 7:38so.
211. 7:39Just like that.
212. 7:41We're getting some nice variation in
213. 7:43this one for sure. I think we need to
214. 7:45upscale it just to make sure we keep the
215. 7:48original form
216. 7:49for the roof.
217. 7:51Actually, I even want to make sure that
218. 7:53this is
219. 7:55a bit of a wider type of a plank at the
220. 7:57very end.
221. 7:59Going to give us nice results.
222. 8:01And probably want to squish down this
223. 8:04gap like this. I think this is going to
224. 8:05look quite nice.
225. 8:07And finally, just going to go for all of
226. 8:10the front to check how this looks. Maybe
227. 8:13want the final one to be a little bit
228. 8:15wider as well. That's the nice way to
229. 8:17break them apart. And finally, of
230. 8:19course, we need to make sure we have
231. 8:21some variation within this as well
232. 8:23because right now it just looks a little
233. 8:24bit too flat. So, what we can do is we
234. 8:26can grab one of them, make sure that the
235. 8:28gizmo is set to the world location
236. 8:31position, and then if we were to just
237. 8:33bring it down just a little bit, we can
238. 8:35see the type of difference it makes
239. 8:36within our entire roof. So, that is
240. 8:40actually quite nice.
241. 8:41We can even just rotate it a little bit
242. 8:44slightly without the snapping mode
243. 8:46turned on. And by doing that,
244. 8:50if I were to select the right one, and
245. 8:51by doing that just a little bit, we're
246. 8:53going to be able to kind of have it
247. 8:56snapping out outside of this area over
248. 8:58here. And I think it's just going to
249. 8:59look so much nicer if we do that. So, I
250. 9:02think I'm just going to grab the last
251. 9:04couple of ones.
252. 9:05Just do the same kind of a idea
253. 9:08where we just slightly rotate them.
254. 9:11And in turn,
255. 9:12I think it gives us a really nice type
256. 9:15of looking roof. And we still have some
257. 9:18supports to add to this roof since it's
258. 9:21already just kind of floating by in the
259. 9:23air, but I think we're going to do that
260. 9:25in the next lesson, and we're going to
261. 9:27adjust the color at the same time as
262. 9:29well. So, thank you so much for
263. 9:31watching, and I'll see you in a bit.
