WEBVTT 00:00.390 --> 00:05.670 And the upcoming lessons, we're going to continue to sheild this Ghostbuster trap with a little more 00:05.670 --> 00:10.200 detail, but before we do that, we kind of need to adjust the scene a little bit. 00:10.500 --> 00:17.730 If we go to the Arnold Render view and we hit play, we can see that everything looks kind of black 00:18.120 --> 00:21.430 and it's hard to really tell what's going on if you look over here. 00:21.450 --> 00:24.870 We can't really see where the edges on this part of the model. 00:25.320 --> 00:28.380 So to remedy this, we need to make kind of a ground plain. 00:28.740 --> 00:35.700 And to do that, we can go over here to the modeling shelf and click the plane and we can just scale 00:35.700 --> 00:36.180 this up. 00:39.330 --> 00:41.430 And I'm going to scale us up quite big. 00:45.640 --> 00:46.300 And. 00:47.580 --> 00:51.510 The other thing we can do is add some subdivision's to this. 00:54.190 --> 01:03.400 And then we can add of to former and what I'm creating is a basically what is called an infinity background 01:03.910 --> 01:06.450 and it's used all the time and photography. 01:07.360 --> 01:12.190 And if you've watched the modeling part of this course, you'll have you'll know how to use the binda 01:12.190 --> 01:12.640 former. 01:13.040 --> 01:16.840 So I'm not going to go into a ton of detail on that as I'm making it. 01:18.010 --> 01:20.040 But you can follow along here just visually. 01:20.530 --> 01:25.390 And the reason is to make this background. 01:25.870 --> 01:35.590 We need something for the the model to reflect off of for light, to bounce back off of onto the model 01:36.040 --> 01:41.130 and so that we can see the reflections and all of that kind of a thing in the model. 01:41.650 --> 01:42.250 So. 01:43.490 --> 01:50.360 Now that we have this, I'm going to maybe increase the curvature just to touch more and to lead by 01:50.360 --> 01:55.100 type history to get rid of the former, and we can just rotate this and whichever way we want and. 01:56.810 --> 01:58.370 Push it in space back here. 01:59.670 --> 02:06.300 And I'm going to put this on its own display layer so that we don't actually accidentally grab it and 02:06.420 --> 02:08.160 turn off the grid now that we have the ground plane. 02:08.520 --> 02:16.680 So now if we go back into the Arnold interview and hit play, we can see that the model looks way different 02:16.680 --> 02:23.250 than it did before because it actually has something to reflect off of and for the light to bounce back 02:23.250 --> 02:23.850 on, too. 02:24.380 --> 02:29.060 So now we can kind of see the edge of the model itself where we couldn't before. 02:29.400 --> 02:34.680 And the other thing we need to add here before we move forward is just two things that might kind of 02:34.680 --> 02:35.760 help us in the future. 02:36.090 --> 02:42.510 And I'm going to create a sphere here, drag it over and make it a little smaller here. 02:43.470 --> 02:45.450 And this is done. 02:45.450 --> 02:52.410 And look, development where you basically create a chrome ball somewhere, right? 02:52.410 --> 02:59.910 Click and go down to assign the material, create a standard surface and use the chrome preset here. 03:00.900 --> 03:09.180 And click replace and then I'm going to leave this on the Lambert, and when we go into the Arnold Render 03:09.180 --> 03:17.970 review and play, we can now see these kinds of reference balls basically, so that whenever we're making 03:17.970 --> 03:24.360 Shater adjustments, we have a reference point of, OK, this is no, this is what it should look like 03:24.360 --> 03:24.720 in the scene. 03:24.720 --> 03:28.160 If there's no reflections, this should look like if it's totally reflective. 03:28.470 --> 03:34.320 So when we're making adjustments to our shaders, we can kind of visually reference the two extremes 03:34.320 --> 03:41.070 here and kind of dial it in based on what's possible with the lighting that we have and the environment 03:41.070 --> 03:45.000 that we have in the scene, which right now is just a simple ground plain. 03:45.450 --> 03:49.740 But so these couple of little adjustments will make our life a lot easier in the coming lessons where 03:49.740 --> 03:55.170 we are going to add more detail and create some more shaders for these pieces here. 03:55.710 --> 03:56.100 All right. 03:56.100 --> 03:56.910 Well, thanks for watching. 03:56.940 --> 03:57.780 I'll see in the next lesson.
