- [Instructor] The next step is to apply a scene
or a backplate to our rendering.
So let's go ahead over here to the next
little toolbar at the top.
Click on that tab,
and you can see here we've got
a couple of different environments
that have already been loaded in.
So we have this ambient backdrop here, Ambient White.
We also have this Chrome Studio.
You can just drag and drop those into your rendering
to get a little bit different look.
Now, each one of these environments has specific lights
that have already been added to it,
a background, or an environment that's actually in 360.
So as you spin this model around,
and I'm going to switch over here to the fast render mode
so it's a little bit easier to spin.
If you spin this around,
you can see the environment's changing
as you go through different things.
I can pan things around, move things around here.
So you can see that you're actually in a 3D workspace,
a 3D environment,
so you're spinning that model or that camera around
inside of that workspace
to get to that perfect angle.
Again, I'm using the middle mouse button
to kind of pan things around.
I'm using the left mouse button to rotate things around,
and I'm using the right mouse button to zoom in or zoom out
to get the look that you're looking for.
Once you get to an angle that you like,
you can then switch over to Accurate
to get a good representation of what's going to happen
when you actually going in
and actually start rendering this out.
Now we have the option of adding new scenes here.
So if I want to go over here to the Library,
notice I have Appearances here.
If I use the dropdown,
I can switch over here to Environments.
And I have all these various environments
that I can load in,
or I can switch over here to the cloud
and see all of the assets
that happen to be on the cloud.
And the ones that have a little green check mark
are the ones that are already loaded into my system.
If you want to bring something else in,
just go ahead and click on it
and then bring that into your scene.
It's going to go ahead and download
that environment from the internet,
and then load it into your system.
So now I'm going to have this new environment,
should pop up here in a second.
And let's give that a little bit more time to download
and load into our scene.
Okay, it looks like that scene downloaded
and now it's the backdrop for our environment here.
It looks pretty good.
I'm not sure if that's really the one we're looking for,
but I do want to just point out
how easy it is to just drag and drop those in.
And if they are on the cloud,
you can easily download those environments.
Now if I switch back over here to the scene I'm in,
notice it shows up right here
and I have a few other things here.
I can click and hide that image,
so I'm only using the actual lighting from that scene,
not the actual background,
or go ahead and turn that back on if you want.
And then down here at the bottom,
I have a bunch of options as far as flattening the floor,
bring that in.
I can turn that back off.
You can adjust the brightness, the gamma, the size,
the height, the rotation, and so on.
So, let's go ahead and just try
a couple of those real quick.
You know, rotate that around,
kind of get the look you're after
by rotating and adjusting things as needed.
Again, we have a whole bunch of different controls
you can play with as far as reflections,
roughness, shadows, and so on.
Definitely look at all these things, play with them,
and adjust them to being the perfect look
for whatever you're working on.
And then of course, once you have it all dialed in,
you can then save that out as a new environment
that you can then use somewhere else in another rendering.
