- [Instructor] To use those scenes and lighting options
within the animation, we'll just jump back into
our Motion Manager here, and just the same,
I'll want to move my time bar to
whatever point in time I might want to make the change,
so if we just play through from the beginning here,
we just see my vise closing and opening here.
Then nothing changing, I'm just at my
three point faded scene and no scene or light changes
or anything like that occurring.
But of course, all I have to do is make changes
at any specific point in time,
and those will come in to my animation.
What's important here again,
is you'll probably want to turn on the auto key,
so when those changes are made
they'll automatically be applied within your animation here.
So first I'm going to navigate to where I'd like
my changes to come in, so maybe I'll say
right at the end at about six seconds
is where I want my change to be completed.
So that would mean from zero to six seconds
my animation will be slowly fading
into a specific lighting or shadow setting
or whatever it might be.
So I'll move to about six seconds here,
and then all I have to do is
make sure that auto key is turned on
and make whatever changes I may want
to my scenes, lights, and my cameras here.
So I'll first start just again,
making a change to ambient lighting here,
so I'll right click, edit,
and I'm just gonna change the intensity
to whatever I see fit, maybe edit the color
to a kind of pale orange type of color here as well,
and see how that might come in,
and just play around with it a little bit here.
Okay, and then once I'm happy with that,
hit the green check.
Okay notice as soon as I hit the green check there,
I see some new keys coming in,
and they're coming in within this lights, cameras,
and scenes folder, and I can expand that
as well if I'd like, and I'm seeing exactly
what is changing across that timeline,
so right now from zero to six seconds,
my ambient light made that change,
in this case just from no color changing to orange
and the intensity changing slightly and so on.
So if I just play through,
it should come in with really no color
and then slowly turn into that
kind of orange-ish shade there.
The exact same idea with all other lights.
And you can control shadows this way
and a whole number of other things, so just a real quick,
maybe my directional light one here, I'll make some edits,
again at six seconds, I'll right click
edit the directional light,
and I'm just going to change this slightly,
change the location and so on.
Yeah, let's do something like that
just to make it a little bit different.
Okay, and we should see that change being applied,
again from the zero to six seconds.
When I'm happy with that, hit the green check,
and now I can try to play through
so I'll play through beginning again.
So now not only is it changing
to a somewhat orange shade, but kinda the shadows
within my object are changing slightly as well
due to that directional light change.
So you can control a whole bunch of different
lightings here, the color's changing,
the shadow's changing, the direction's changing,
and you can apply these within your animations
to fit your own needs.
