3. 0:15>> Hello and welcome back everyone to
4. 0:16Unreal Engine 5 beginner's guide to
5. 0:18building an environment. In the last
6. 0:20lesson we left it off by setting some of
7. 0:22the frame for diagonal beams and
8. 0:23decorating them. And in this lesson
9. 0:25we're going to continue on with the roof
10. 0:27and setting up something on the top of
11. 0:29these areas. So I think the best beam
12. 0:33that we could use is actually going to
13. 0:34be the one that we had previously for
14. 0:37this section over here. We're just going
15. 0:39to make a duplicate out of this one over
16. 0:40here right away.
17. 0:42And actually I'm going to go back onto
18. 0:44the material. So I'm just going to click
19. 0:47to browse the content with the material
20. 0:49instance. I'm just I'm just going to
21. 0:51place the original material that we had
22. 0:53previously made a copy out of. So for
23. 0:55now we're just going to get a default
24. 0:56sort of a sort of a color and right
25. 0:59right away we're just going to place it
26. 1:01in the right position. So we're just
27. 1:02going to see what it looks like as its
28. 1:04own sort of a texture. So we're going to
29. 1:07enable the snapping to a rotation and
30. 1:11we're we'll set it up as 90°.
31. 1:14And position our entire beam to be to
32. 1:17the side of the house. Now I'm trying to
33. 1:19figure out if it's a good idea to have
34. 1:23an entire beam
35. 1:25that in the very top or we should have a
36. 1:27couple of them. So for example
37. 1:30there's a lot of options that we could
38. 1:31use for this one.
39. 1:33We could either have a larger one
40. 1:36that just covers it entirely like so.
41. 1:40Or we could have a
42. 1:42couple of smaller ones.
43. 1:44So both are viable options and we could
44. 1:46even check them out how they look like
45. 1:48and see if they look any good.
46. 1:51So for example if we were to grab both
47. 1:54of these like so
48. 1:56make a duplicate
49. 1:57and that might look quite nice.
50. 2:01We just got to experiment it a little
51. 2:02bit, see how it looks like from the
52. 2:03side, and maybe, just maybe, they're
53. 2:06going to look quite nice all in all.
54. 2:09But, I think
55. 2:10we are okay if we just were to use a
56. 2:13normal
57. 2:15single beam. I think that's going to
58. 2:16look much better.
59. 2:18So, in this in case, we're just going to
60. 2:20make this one quite a bit larger. And
61. 2:23actually, I'm going to reset the scale
62. 2:25first, so we
63. 2:26sure that we have no distortion in this
64. 2:28mesh for now. So, within the
65. 2:31transformation, within the scale, we're
66. 2:32going to click on the reset this
67. 2:34property to its default value. So, we're
68. 2:36going to get its original ratio without
69. 2:38any distortions. And now, we're just
70. 2:39going to scale it up in all directions
71. 2:42without it distorting. And I think
72. 2:44that's going to be a much better choice.
73. 2:46So, now we've got to figure out if we
74. 2:48want it to be this way,
75. 2:50or if you want to raise it up a little
76. 2:51bit.
77. 2:52Maybe that's going to look quite nice.
78. 2:55What we need to figure out is
79. 2:57if it's actually not too big, because
80. 3:00from looking from this way, it might
81. 3:02just be a little bit too big. So, we're
82. 3:04going to actually squish it down by
83. 3:06quite a bit.
84. 3:07I think that's going to be quite nice.
85. 3:09Put it down like so. I want to have a
86. 3:11bit of a gap going overhanging a little
87. 3:13bit from these tiles. I think that's
88. 3:15going to be quite nice.
89. 3:17Just going to check the other side. We
90. 3:19might need to make this one even wider,
91. 3:21actually,
92. 3:22cover this up. It all depends on the
93. 3:24type of roof that we be having at the
94. 3:25very top. But, in general, we just
95. 3:27wanted to make sure we cover the very
96. 3:29top like so.
97. 3:31So, we've got some overhanging from this
98. 3:33area,
99. 3:34and some overhanging from this area as
100. 3:36well. Actually, maybe just a little bit
101. 3:38bigger.
102. 3:40Like so.
103. 3:41That's going to look quite nice.
104. 3:43Yeah, that is looking quite nice. So, I
105. 3:45like that. And
106. 3:47think we can
107. 3:49now probably extend it. Yeah, but that's
108. 3:51going to If we were to squish it out
109. 3:54towards like so, thing that's going to
110. 3:55be too distorted. So, we're going to go
111. 3:58back. We're going to position one beam
112. 4:00like so to the side.
113. 4:01Get another beam.
114. 4:03Put it on the other end.
115. 4:04Like so.
116. 4:06And we're going to actually grab both of
117. 4:07them and squish them down quite a bit.
118. 4:11This way we get a lot of detail left
119. 4:13over and I think it's going to look
120. 4:15quite nice.
121. 4:17So, we're just going to make sure we
122. 4:18position them
123. 4:19properly.
124. 4:21So, while having them both grabbed,
125. 4:23actually we should probably
126. 4:24make sure we don't have this sort of a
127. 4:26gap. It's a little bit too much for us.
128. 4:28I think we should
129. 4:29hide it a little bit.
130. 4:31And that's going to be quite all right.
131. 4:34So, now we're just going to grab both of
132. 4:35these beams
133. 4:37and scale them up properly.
134. 4:40So,
135. 4:41something like that maybe.
136. 4:43A little bit too much.
137. 4:46And I think
138. 4:48if we were to be having some of that
139. 4:50beam to be sticking through, I think
140. 4:51that's going to be quite all right.
141. 4:53Actually, I will going to reposition
142. 4:54this beam a little bit to the side.
143. 4:57And this one a little bit to the front.
144. 5:00There you go.
145. 5:02So, now we're sticking some of them
146. 5:04through. Or actually, I'm just going to
147. 5:05grab both of them and bring them
148. 5:07outwards just a little bit more.
149. 5:10So, half of them will be sticking out. I
150. 5:11think that's going to be much nicer in
151. 5:13regards to that.
152. 5:15And the other side,
153. 5:17we might need to make it just a little
154. 5:20bit bigger so it'd be
155. 5:21touching. I wanted to move this
156. 5:23individually.
157. 5:24I'm going to do that. Just that.
158. 5:28And I think that's going to be quite all
159. 5:29right.
160. 5:31Yeah, okay. That's quite nice. Now, we
161. 5:32need to do the other end as well. So,
162. 5:34we're just going to grab both of these
163. 5:35beams. Hold Alt. Make a duplicate out of
164. 5:38it. Click E. Rotate it 90°.
165. 5:41And position them to the side just like
166. 5:44that.
167. 5:45Bring them back. Uh bring them to the
168. 5:48front edges.
169. 5:49And
170. 5:50I'm going to think how I'm going to
171. 5:51break these edges over here.
172. 5:54I don't want to make it
173. 5:57too much stick it out, but at the same
174. 5:58time we should definitely
175. 6:00have it some overlap over here.
176. 6:03So, I think
177. 6:04by looking we do have a bit of a gap
178. 6:06coming out. I think that's
179. 6:08plenty actually. Or maybe just maybe can
180. 6:11experiment it actually and try bringing
181. 6:13this out even more.
182. 6:14Maybe that's going to look much better.
183. 6:17Just going to see how it looks like from
184. 6:19a distance.
185. 6:20And maybe maybe not. That doesn't look
186. 6:23quite as nice. I'm just going to leave
187. 6:24it as this. I think this is much better
188. 6:27in regards to how it looks.
189. 6:29Of course, this beam doesn't look quite
190. 6:30as nice. So, I think I'm going to grab
191. 6:32both of these. Going to bring them up.
192. 6:34So, this one is going to look like it's
193. 6:36all being overlaid on top of the other.
194. 6:39Of course, we got to squish it down
195. 6:40quite a bit those two beams.
196. 6:43Or maybe we could stretch them out.
197. 6:46But, I quite like the way that we have
198. 6:48some of the seams visible in between
199. 6:50those two beams.
200. 6:52Maybe it's a little bit too much though.
201. 6:54So, I'm going to delete one of them and
202. 6:55just extend this entire one onto this
203. 6:59end. And I think that's going to look
204. 7:01much nicer.
205. 7:03So, just grabbing it, making sure that
206. 7:05we're sticking them through like so.
207. 7:09And just a little bit more.
208. 7:11Just like that.
209. 7:13I think all in all this is going to look
210. 7:14quite nice.
211. 7:16So, by just tweaking the values just a
212. 7:18little bit, we're going to get some nice
213. 7:19results.
214. 7:20I think this time we need to make sure
215. 7:22that we have it
216. 7:26a little bit to the other side. Or
217. 7:27actually, I think I'm just going to flip
218. 7:29this around because I see that this side
219. 7:31of the mesh
220. 7:33doesn't
221. 7:34um have a good way to end it on the
222. 7:37other end. As in the diagonal edge is
223. 7:41slightly tilted. So, we're going to make
224. 7:42sure that the tilt is going downwards. I
225. 7:44think that's going to look much nicer.
226. 7:46I'm just going to make sure I reposition
227. 7:49this log though.
228. 7:50We put it in the very center like so.
229. 7:53And of course bring it down just like
230. 7:55that.
231. 7:56So, looking at it though looking at it
232. 7:58though
233. 7:59we might need to
234. 8:02slightly make it a little bit wider.
235. 8:05And
236. 8:06maybe this will do.
237. 8:08Let's go ahead and just simply
238. 8:10because we raised it up a little bit in
239. 8:11order to hide this end of the beam.
240. 8:14We got to make sure we fit it in
241. 8:16properly.
242. 8:17Just going to extend it even more.
243. 8:20Bring it upwards.
244. 8:21Actually going to turn off the
245. 8:23uh
246. 8:24local gizmo and set it up to the world
247. 8:26position.
248. 8:28And now
249. 8:31just a little bit more of a tweaking
250. 8:33making sure it's small enough.
251. 8:36But we're going to have this beam
252. 8:38sticking through it, so I think that's
253. 8:39going to look much nicer.
254. 8:42Something like that.
255. 8:45I think that's much much better.
256. 8:48I think we just wanted to
257. 8:50be going like this though.
258. 8:53But that's going to leave a gap. So, in
259. 8:55this case
260. 8:57we can probably Yeah, we can probably
261. 9:00just leave it as is and I think that's
262. 9:01going to look quite nice.
263. 9:03Like so.
264. 9:05Or alternatively, we can actually just
265. 9:07hide this entire end
266. 9:09and see how it will look like.
267. 9:11And
268. 9:13maybe that's a bit nicer, but I don't
269. 9:15like the flow the way it interacts with
270. 9:17this. So, actually I'm going to keep
271. 9:19this at the very top of this log. I
272. 9:21think that's going to look nicer all in
273. 9:23all.
274. 9:25Now they just look a little bit too
275. 9:26straight, but we're going to fix that up
276. 9:29in the next lesson and we're going to
277. 9:31actually do some deformation to get some
278. 9:33nicer results out of this entire roof.
279. 9:35So,
280. 9:37yeah, thank you so much for watching and
281. 9:39I'll see you in a bit.
