Transcript
00:01
This is a practice exercise video solution
00:06
for this practice exercise. Let's get started with the supplied data set.
00:09
Custom appearance dot F. Three D
00:11
appearances can be created and added in the design
00:14
work space as well as in the render workspace.
00:17
So let's get started by navigating to
00:19
the render workspace and selecting the appearance option
00:23
from here. We can modify the appearance that in this design or we can create a new one.
00:28
The best way to create a new appearance is to find one
00:31
that's close to what you need and make adjustments for this.
00:34
I'm going to right click and duplicate the blue appearance.
00:37
Then I'm going to select the duplicate right click and edit
00:40
first. We can change the name instead of blue. I'm going to add custom
00:46
Next. A simple changes for us to adjust the color
00:50
color can be changed by using the slider back and forth
00:53
or by picking a specific color or entering its red,
00:56
green and blue values.
00:57
We can also increase or decrease the roughness value.
01:01
Next we can go to the advanced tab and on the advanced
01:04
tab we have a little bit more control over the color.
01:07
You'll notice that some information is hidden off to the right hand side.
01:10
You can resize this dialog box by dragging it
01:12
just to make sure that everything is visible.
01:15
Next you can see that we can add a relief or bump pattern.
01:19
We can add a cutout pattern
01:21
or we can use advanced highlight controls.
01:24
These are all pretty advanced settings and it's great for you to play around with
01:27
them but they're a bit outside of the scope that we're going to cover.
01:30
So we'll select,
01:30
cancel on the advanced settings and then we'll drag
01:33
and drop our new anodized color directly onto the link
01:37
to get a good idea what this looks like. Let's go ahead and start an in canvas render.
01:41
This will begin retracing the light and shadows for each pixel
01:45
in the design for as long as we let it go.
01:48
And this will help us better understand what this color looks like.
01:51
Once you're happy with your appearance,
01:53
you can go ahead and render the image and see what it looks like for real.
01:56
At this point, let's make sure that we have saved the design before moving on.
