YouTube on day: Waching daily Apr 26 2017

hello welcome on back to TutsByKai

I'm Kai and today we're getting started

making a 2d ring graphic. I previously

made a tutorial on how to make a circle

2d motion graphic and it was requested

that I do a more of a ring style, so

pretty much just have a circle in the

middle of it... so that's all we're going

to do today so we're going to get

started and delete the default cube with

the delete and left click, the lamp same

way and the camera. we're going to hit 1

on our numpad I'm using the middle mouse

button to move around my scene by the

way; clicking on it and we're gonna hit one on

my numpad to go into the front-facing

view, we're gonna go to create and scroll

down until you find the camera and click

camera, we're going to drag that back and

hit 0 to go into the camera's view

things are going to get a bit different

here than the first tutorial this is

where things change a bit so we're going

to add in a plane, we're going to drag

this open a little bit, we're going to add

in a plane just like we did before plane

and we're gonna hit R X 90 on our keyboard

to rotate that on the x-axis 90 degrees

I'm going to zoom in and hit tab on our

keyboard... this brings up the edit mode

and now what we need to do is we need to

add in two cuts on the on the on the z

and the x-axis so the way we do this is

we go to tools and then hit loop cut and

slide now this is a tool that we can use

to cut an object in half. so we're going

to add one there, we're just gonna click

and this pink line appears once you go to the

edge of the of an

object goes pink so we're going to hit

one there boom we're just gonna click

so I can drag this around, so we're

going to right click to cancel that

movement and I'm going to add another

loop cut and slide just one right there

right on the edge and then right click

to cancel the movement so now we have

four squares pretty much is what you're

seeing right? four squares and what we

can do with these is do what we need to

do (laughs) so we need to add in one more loop

cut and slide I'm going to add that

right here as you can tell it's

segmented by by the cuts so we could cut

directly on the center before but now we

have a few more options so we're going

to cut right there once there

boom so now we have all the vertices

we need we're going to is going to

delete all of these that we don't need

because we don't need any of these

except for the first two we don't need

anything but this one and this one we

need the top one and the one right here

in the middle there so we're going to

delete all of these other vertices

because we don't need them they're gone

all right so now we pretty much just

have this line and I know you're

thinking Kai how do you make a circle

from a line the same way we've done it

before

and the way we do as we go over to the

modifiers tab and we're going to add

modifier and go to screw look at that

boom now we instantly have a ring 2d

graphic so pretty much this is where it

gets back on the same track as being the

same as my previous tutorial whew didn't

see that I'll put a link up I put a card

up on the screen right about now and

you'll be able to see that if you need

to see it so pretty much what we just

did was we made a a screw screw pretty

much just takes two vertices and in

rotates them and tell it just

duplicates them there, duplicate them

there there there if I hit apply on

this you can see that all of the

vertices go like this but it's very very

low resolution I'm going to undo that

it's very very low steps it's only 16 so

we're going to drag this all the way up

to 512 512 is the max it this is nice on

the steps for viewing it but if I

render this like this as you can tell it

still looks like the 16 by 16 because we

didn't up because we didn't up the

render step so we need update as well

make sure you don't forget that that's

very important so now we pretty much

have a donut or if you want to if you

want to lower this a lot more you can

make an actual screw like a bolt looks

pretty cool

so let's put that back up now the way we

animate this is we go to the zero frame

make sure it says it says 0 on the start and

we're going to do the same thing we did

before so we're going to put this on

zero zero on the zero frame and we're

going to hit I on our keyboard make sure you hover

your cursor inside the angle box and hit

I on your keyboard and then we're going

to go to the fifth frame and we're going

to type in 250 oops 250 and then we're

going to hit I just like that right oh I

seem to have lost seem to have lost a

plane there

I'm on the wrong I'm on the wrong layer

right there that was weird all right so

uh huh make sure that says 215 hit on

your keyboard to insert that keyframe so

now we have it going from being 0 to 250

so now we needed to finish up we're

going to the 15th frame give it a bit of

time to finish up and we're going to 360

hit 360 on your keyboard hit I now we

have the full the full animation here

this is what it does... boom just like that perfect

right if you want to change this

thickness the way you do this is really

cool

if you go back into tab mode as you can

tell if you drag this bottom vertice or

the top vertice if you drag this bottom

vertice you can make it smaller on the fly

right there it's amazing this is super

super handy stuff and the way we can

animate this it's actually as you can

tell you can't animate in tab you can

edit in edit mode you can't add

keyframes in edit mode which is a shame

by how we work around that as we go over

here to the data tab object data and we

hit and we click that now this this

whole panel brings up shape keys shape

keys is something we can use to insert

keyframes in edit mode which is super

cool stuff so we're going to add in not

an edit mode because we can't do an edit

mode we can click this plus over here

twice hit that plus twice to bring up basis

and key 1 now pretty much because this

was nothing it did nothing we have to

animate this ourselves so pretty much

this basis is telling it's telling this

plane this circle now now we need to

keep it the way it is and then key 1 is

saying we need to change it so what we

need to change it to is this when you

hit tab and we need to drag this to this

top vertice up here but as you can tell

I can't get that perfect there's always

going to be a bit of a line there if I

render this excuse me if I drag the

value up and then render this you can

see you can see there's a line there

instead of trying to get this perfect

you know scrolling all the way in and

you know getting it perfect like that

I'm never going to get it 100% perfect

so let's undo that a way we can get is

absolutely 100% perfectly is we can add

uh... we can add in snap mode the magnet

down here if you click that and then we

make sure this is on vertex mode

then we move this up as you can tell it

snaps right to that vertice so now it's

perfect so if we release that, hit tab

again you can tell that this line is

completely gone if I if I get rid of

that you can't see the line at all the

line is no longer there you can't see it

anymore a hundred percent perfect lined

up perfectly but now the problem is is

like I won't be able to grab this guy

because there's nothing for me to grab

it's it's completely scaled to zero so I

have to hit this plane up here

if I hit plane then you should be able

to grab that that bad boy once again so

now the way we animate this is we go to

the zero frame and make sure this value's

on one and then hit I hover your cursor

inside this box and hit I now we're

going to go to the fifth frame or your

second frame whatever frame that's on

and then we're going to hit 0.4 like

that right and then hit I now we're

going to drag this all the way back down

go all the way down hit I... but

now that is pretty much it we have our

our circle and it gets smaller and it

you know it fills out as it as it zooms

around like that pretty cool stuff and

one last thing I'm going to do is I want

to rotate this as it's coming in so

we're going to hit I for rotation on the

first frame our first keyframe and then

on the fifth frame we're going to rotate

this by 25 degrees and then we're going

to hit rotation and then we're going to

go to the 15th frame and we're going to

our Y 45 and then I as you can tell

didn't do much because it's connected

but it did so this was like right there

so you can't really tell because going

the same way that it's coming so instead

of doing that we're going to undo that

and make sure all those those numbers we

just put in more negative so our Y

negative 25 I on our keyboard go to

the fifth frame our Y negative 45 enter

right so now it doesn't look like it

just stays still right so does that I'm

not sure why this last keyframe didn't

go in though that's weird

we're going to do a negative 45 again

and then hit I location- oh excuse me... I rotation... that's why I didn't go in

all right so there we go now that's good

there we go so now our animation is 100%

finished

it rotates as it comes in it gets bigger

it goes all the way around really cool

stuff here I really really enjoy making

these these 2d motion graphics tutorials

now I haven't seen a lot of people doing

motion graphics tutorials, so I'm glad I

can assist since we did this in Blender

Render you can always switch on over to

cycles since we didn't add any materials

anything like that and then hit on

motion blur make sure that's on because

this motion blur is a lot better than

the blender render motion blur so we're

going to make sure that says Ambient

Occlusion make sure this is all the way

black... hit use nodes so now we have our

100% stark white circle in our black

background with the perfect motion blur

that is good I'm going to use Cycles

Render for this... so that is pretty much

it for this tutorial I hope you enjoyed

it if you want to see more tutorials

just like this I post them weekly I'll

be posting more stuff just like this let

me know what you want to see down below

and for the next tutorial I'll see you

guys in the next one bye
