1 00:00:04,430 --> 00:00:05,510 ‫Hello and welcome. 2 00:00:05,510 --> 00:00:12,140 ‫In this lecture, we're going to be making our level look a bit better by putting in some proper materials 3 00:00:12,140 --> 00:00:16,460 ‫and adjusting the lighting in our room. 4 00:00:16,460 --> 00:00:18,470 ‫Let's dive in and see how to do this. 5 00:00:19,820 --> 00:00:27,680 ‫So since we've migrated to a new level here, we have lost the all the functionality that we had at 6 00:00:27,740 --> 00:00:28,640 ‫our previous level. 7 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:35,330 ‫If we go ahead and hit play, we can fly around this level, but hitting spacebar just makes us go up. 8 00:00:35,330 --> 00:00:36,800 ‫So how do we change that? 9 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,990 ‫Well, fortunately, we can easily copy our functionality over from the old level. 10 00:00:41,990 --> 00:00:47,390 ‫We just need to go and find it in the starter content maps folder and open up minimal default. 11 00:00:47,390 --> 00:00:54,050 ‫Then we need to open up the level blueprint from the toolbar and then level blueprint and then we can 12 00:00:54,050 --> 00:00:59,540 ‫select all of the nodes in here by doing control A and then control C to copy them, then opening up 13 00:00:59,540 --> 00:01:00,770 ‫the content draw again. 14 00:01:00,770 --> 00:01:07,250 ‫We can go to the roots of content, open up the main level and then open up its level blueprint by clicking 15 00:01:07,250 --> 00:01:10,040 ‫the dropdown and opening level blueprint. 16 00:01:10,050 --> 00:01:14,930 ‫Then finally, when we're in here, we can select everything and delete all the nodes that are currently 17 00:01:14,930 --> 00:01:20,870 ‫here and then just control V to paste in the functionality that we wanted. 18 00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:26,600 ‫And now if we hit play in the toolbar, you can hit, spacebar and fire the cannonballs. 19 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:32,030 ‫Sometimes they go through the walls, which is kind of funny, but you can fire the cannonballs at the 20 00:01:32,060 --> 00:01:32,690 ‫scene. 21 00:01:32,690 --> 00:01:38,510 ‫Now, the most obvious thing that is wrong with this scene is that there are no materials whatsoever 22 00:01:38,510 --> 00:01:41,180 ‫on the floors and ceilings. 23 00:01:41,180 --> 00:01:43,760 ‫That is something we need to fix now. 24 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:49,730 ‫Fortunately, we've got some great materials in this project already that came from the start of content, 25 00:01:49,730 --> 00:01:56,540 ‫but if we wanted to filter just for all the materials, so whether it's in the industry props pack or 26 00:01:56,540 --> 00:02:02,330 ‫in the starter content, then we can do this quite easily by going to the little filter button to the 27 00:02:02,330 --> 00:02:09,710 ‫right of the search bar in the content browser and then going to materials and then checking the material 28 00:02:09,710 --> 00:02:10,490 ‫filter. 29 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:15,950 ‫This will automatically go and look for all materials that we have in our project. 30 00:02:15,950 --> 00:02:25,520 ‫So we could do things like bring in a grassy wall and we can drag that material onto a surface of our 31 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:26,390 ‫geometry brush. 32 00:02:26,390 --> 00:02:34,010 ‫And we've got ourselves a grassy wall, which isn't exactly the most conventional wall material, but 33 00:02:34,010 --> 00:02:36,950 ‫it certainly illustrates the point. 34 00:02:36,950 --> 00:02:42,500 ‫And one more thing that we can do to tweak our environment here is look at how it's currently being 35 00:02:42,500 --> 00:02:43,100 ‫lit. 36 00:02:43,130 --> 00:02:51,020 ‫If we look at the outlier and search for light, then you can see that there are a couple of light sources 37 00:02:51,020 --> 00:02:51,500 ‫in here. 38 00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:57,530 ‫There is an omnidirectional skylight which is just sending in light from all sorts of directions and 39 00:02:57,530 --> 00:02:59,810 ‫giving us a kind of fill color. 40 00:02:59,810 --> 00:03:06,620 ‫And there is a directional light which is called the light source in this case, and that reflects the 41 00:03:06,620 --> 00:03:09,200 ‫way that the sun lights our scene. 42 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:14,630 ‫So you can see that the shadows coming in from the windows are quite a harsh angle here, and that's 43 00:03:14,630 --> 00:03:17,210 ‫because of the sunlight angle. 44 00:03:17,210 --> 00:03:22,910 ‫If you double click on the light source, you can see the icon for the directional light is a sun with 45 00:03:22,910 --> 00:03:29,750 ‫an arrow showing the direction, and we can use the rotate tool to change the directionality of that 46 00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:30,140 ‫arrow. 47 00:03:30,140 --> 00:03:38,030 ‫And so the directionality of our sunlight, so we can extend the shadows, change the direction of the 48 00:03:38,030 --> 00:03:44,360 ‫shadows, and have them cast against a wall, or have them come further into the room as we wish. 49 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:49,340 ‫So you can mess around with that to your heart's content to light the scene in the way that you would 50 00:03:49,340 --> 00:03:49,850 ‫like. 51 00:03:49,850 --> 00:03:53,750 ‫So let me challenge you to decorate your own room. 52 00:03:53,750 --> 00:03:59,090 ‫I'd like you to choose some materials you like and drag them onto the floors and walls and ceilings. 53 00:03:59,090 --> 00:04:04,880 ‫Probably choosing something different and something that matches with an industrial vibe to against 54 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,310 ‫the floors and ceilings and something that makes sense. 55 00:04:07,310 --> 00:04:12,140 ‫Or you could go completely wacky wherever your heart takes you in this particular instance. 56 00:04:12,140 --> 00:04:17,630 ‫And then I'd like you to adjust your lighting as well to however you like it. 57 00:04:17,630 --> 00:04:25,190 ‫And once you're done, don't forget to go and share a screenshot of what you've created in the discussions 58 00:04:25,190 --> 00:04:29,570 ‫below this lecture so other students can see the great work you're doing. 59 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,730 ‫Pause the video and have a go. 60 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:35,430 ‫Okay. 61 00:04:35,430 --> 00:04:36,120 ‫Welcome back. 62 00:04:36,150 --> 00:04:39,330 ‫So obviously, I'm not going to keep grass on my wall. 63 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:45,530 ‫I think my walls will probably be some sort of clay brick so I can drag that onto the wall instead. 64 00:04:45,540 --> 00:04:46,340 ‫And there you go. 65 00:04:46,350 --> 00:04:48,530 ‫We've got a nice brick texture. 66 00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:50,940 ‫I'm just going to repeat that on my other walls. 67 00:04:50,970 --> 00:04:51,360 ‫Okay. 68 00:04:51,390 --> 00:04:52,050 ‫That is done. 69 00:04:52,050 --> 00:04:58,080 ‫Now, I haven't been completely complete about this because you would have to drag the texture onto 70 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,450 ‫each of the windowsills as well. 71 00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:05,970 ‫But because they're a little bit far off in the distance, I'm not going to bother with this on screen. 72 00:05:05,970 --> 00:05:10,490 ‫And you can, of course, do this level of polish if you so desire. 73 00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:16,890 ‫But next up, I'm going to bring in some tiled concrete material for the ground, which I think gives 74 00:05:16,890 --> 00:05:18,740 ‫us a nice rustic look. 75 00:05:18,750 --> 00:05:24,060 ‫And then finally for the ceiling, I'm going to go for these concrete panels material. 76 00:05:24,060 --> 00:05:26,400 ‫So let's drag that on to the ceiling. 77 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,300 ‫And there you go, a very rustic looking ceiling. 78 00:05:29,310 --> 00:05:35,040 ‫So finally, let's hit play to test this out and see what it actually looks like once it's all illuminated. 79 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,020 ‫And I'd say looking pretty good. 80 00:05:37,020 --> 00:05:39,840 ‫We've got some nice light in here. 81 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:46,310 ‫We've got it's quite airy and we've got the right sort of scale for our props. 82 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:47,430 ‫That's it for this lecture. 83 00:05:47,430 --> 00:05:49,410 ‫I will see you in the next one.
