[Music]

hey what's up guys and welcome back to

asknk today we have exciting news Folks

at Bentley just recently announced their

a on set of tools which they purchased

sometime in 2015 are now totally free

and available for everyone to work with

and today we're going to talk about

these tools and see how you can guess

that be working with them and of course

a few things you need to know about this

interesting company called Bentley so

starting off Bentley is an

infrastructural and engineering software

company that has a huge huge huge huge

set of tools that you can work with

they've purchased a couple of tools over

time and one of the most remarkable ones

that we did talk about some time ago is

them purchasing Lumen RT so for those

who have no idea what Lumen RT is Lumen

RT used to compete with tools like twin

motion lumion and the folks at Bentley

hasn't really promoted or developed that

tool as much as we thought they will and

that brings us right back to the E on

software that deals with the view and

also the plan factory and for view view

was just this beautiful tool that you

can use to create interesting Landscapes

and do amazing stuff and of course we're

going to talk about how you can do that

and we do have plant Factory which is

also another impressive tool that you

can use to do some very impressive

impressive plant creation and these two

tools are high-end tools that you can

work with additionally they've also

released the plant catalog which is a

beautiful one so starting off for those

who like to get this you can simply go

over to link in the description and

check this out as this is now the new

platform where you can get it as the

previous website site is no longer

available on the internet which means

you can only view this with the Wayback

machine and before we proceed is is what

mentioning this tool no longer has

update and for the most part it is

having basically every single thing that

you want in terms of both USD and

Industry standard support and for those

who are looking for plugins that this

can work with once you start doing the

installation this installs plugins for

both Maya on real engine 3D C Max Cinema

4D and also light wave so if you're

wondering about that those plugins are

already inbu so you can go in and rest

easy and to download this is as simple

as coming over to the download section

and clicking on the word download this

is going to ask you if you would like to

just accept the terms and condition

which deals with the fact that you can

use this literally for anything that you

want and you can also commercialize the

products or anything that you create

with this however you cannot

commercialize anything that is within

the plant catalog but of course you can

create yours and do some cool stuff with

it and if you like to download the view

or plant Factory alongside your updates

there is a 2023 and also 2024 version of

both and this is for Windows and Mac and

for Content archives there's a 20 23.3

content archive which you can download

and the same thing can also be said for

the view extra tools that you can get so

with all this said let's dive directly

into view and take a look at how this

actually works and for plant Factory

we're going to make a separate video for

that so we don't stretch out this video

so long and one thing I need to mention

before we dive in is once you open up

view this takes the whole screen size

that you have So currently we have a

very interesting screen size but we

simply just died it down because of the

size of the content that we're making

any adjustment that has to be done is

after the welcome page so right in here

you can see we can select how we would

like to create stuff so we just going to

start up very basic okay just simply

click on empty and the scene loads up

and I'm going to just simply resize our

viewport so once you have this open the

first thing which you notice is you've

got this gigantic viewport by default

this isn't what you get so what you get

typically is this four quad view very

typical with standard tools that already

exist the navigation for this is very

industry standard which has to do with

holding down alt on your keyboard with

your left Mouse button you can obit

holding down alt on your keyboard with

your right Mouse button you can zoom in

and zoom out and holding down alt on

your keyboard and with your middle Mouse

button you can pan however if you like

to pan without holding down alt if you

press down your right Mouse button and

you move you can control the camera as

well so how do you build stuff and what

is this UI so to build stuff is very

easy like we mentioned this is a very

wonderful tool for creating interesting

landscape and I kind of think except for

the joen that is coming out this just

simply knocks it out of the pack

especially with the fact that you can do

some very interesting sculpins and all

that stuff so to start creating is as

easy as going over here and you can

click and drag in a height map and and

you see look look at that that is how

you start creating stuff so we can zoom

all the way out let's just get this

camera all the way out and you would

also notice that this has a small

looking widget it has a tiny widget

which has to do with scaling things up

and down this widget will come in handy

when we start talking about the

procedural Landscapes that you can

create meanwhile this other section is

where your object properties exist at

the same time you've also got a window

that has to do with an interactive

rendering and right here is where we

have our scene graph or our inspector so

to preview anything that we're doing we

can simply click on this button and

automatically we can start seeing that

so if we like to make copies of this

simply hold on all click and drag and

there you go so we can have that and I

can stretch this out you know depending

on what we want and I can also go over

to another view and I can click and

stretch this out as well so with this we

can make some changes and I can just

navigate across our viewport just to get

things going and if you like to make

adjustment to the height map or any of

the things that you're working with of

course you can all you need to do is

have this selected and you can go over

to where you have this Cog and the Cog

simply means properties so you can click

on that can go in and from here we can

start defining how we want this terrain

to be if we like to get these things as

mountains we can set that if we like to

have these things as Peaks we can set

that and the same thing can be set for

like erosions and you know as many of

the things that we want to do we can

click and just Define the kind of heill

or the kind of terrain that we're going

for if you like to start painting this

that is also super easy go over to the

paint section and you can select any of

these painting brushes and you can start

painting if you like to have a bit of a

rise we can do that and let's just

simply back down go over to the radius

increase that drop the flow a little bit

and this is what we call strength here

so we can drop that down and of course

we can actually let's just crank this a

little bit up and we can go in and make

some of these changes now there are also

multiple things that you can add to

whatever thing that you're making which

includes adding some surface details so

if you're done maybe scoping maybe you

just want to add a little bit of a play

to let's say you go in increase the flow

add that play to as much as you want and

possibly maybe you just want to add a

little bit of a rise here and there you

know once you're done doing all of this

and you like to add some more noise or

probably some effect how you can do that

as well is super easy go over to where

you have the effect and you can start

putting in some effect there are some

erosion effect that exists here so you

can use those erosion effects or you can

use a Global Effect and this includes

the grit the gravel Stones Pebbles you

know whatever you want you can do that

at the same time you've also got like

this rock hardness and you can also use

that to control how things are placed in

terms of PS you can also click and add

pics to this and if you click and hold

the P just simply applies automatically

for any of the things that you have here

if you proceed to right click you can

have access to the properties and you

can make adjustments to the properties

how you want so in this case if we're

comfortable with what we have here we

can simply go in here and click on okay

so I'm just going to make sure that we

have this within the viewport and once

you click on okay automatically you've

just made changes to your model and most

of you guys might also be wondering what

are these things here because you notice

that you get to see it on every viewport

so these are very simple stuff this is

for the parent object this is for the

local this is for Global and this is for

the view so you probably wouldn't notice

that changing the Gizmo as much but if

we simply switch to perspective you

would notice that so I can click right

here and we have that and I can click

here there and here and you'll notice

those changes so once we start clicking

and doing those stuff you would notice

those changes there and You' also notice

that we have the move the rotate and

also the scale so we have the rotate so

if we like to rotate this by the local

axis probably by the global Axis or the

view axis we can do all of that so

depending on what you're trying to

create actually you can work with this

Gizmo set and get on with it and again

to any of the things that you're doing

if you simply click on this button you

can refresh it this also support an

automatic rendering so if you like to

have that you can always right click and

click on auto update so whenever we move

our camera this will automatically

update so you don't necessarily need to

click that you just simply move your

camera

and this would automatically update if

you like to secure your camera so you

don't get to move it all the time there

is a lock button that you can use to

lock that camera in place so what we'll

do now is just simply unlock this and

I'm going to click on this button and

from here we can choose to play with any

of these views actually if we go in here

and we set this to perspective this is

now the perspective as we have this

camera locked in so we can set this

active and we can lock in that camera

because maybe this is the view we're

going for and and if we like to expand

our perspective we can click on this

button and we can do a simple maximize

so in this case we have maximized our

scene then we can start doing some stuff

[Music]

[Music]

if you like to add water to your scene

you can click and hold and you notice

that you've got different parameters or

different types of waters that you can

throw in I'm just simply going to go for

the default one which is going to be

this huge ocean so we can have that and

you can start noticing that we having

that rendering going on on this side

other things that we can do from here

includes adding vegetations throwing a

couple of leaves probably you want to

throw in some clouds yes you can so we

can click on this button as well and I'm

just going to drag this into our scene

and we can start defining the kind of

cloud that we want say you would like to

get the cloud opacity drop down you want

to increase the density play with the

coverage you know whatever you want you

can make this changes here you can also

play with the direction of how you want

things to be probably add some velocity

if this is what you're into and once you

click and let that go you notice that we

have a new object here which Now

controls the cloud within our scene

let's simply go ahead and drag this out

a little bit more so that we can see see

what we're dealing with and of course if

you like to add a few vegetations yes

you can so because this is fully tied

with a plant tool you can click on this

button and this is going to launch a new

plant so we can drag in that plant tap F

on the keyboard and we can zoom right

into that plant if we want to have it

but this isn't how we want to place

plant actually if you're looking for

more plants you can right click and this

is going to present you with a catalog

of plants from plant Factory and also

some Legacy plants so if we would like

to throw in trees we can simply select

all the Tre trees and we can use them

however placing these things one after

the other isn't what we want to do as we

like to Simply paint vegetation and to

paint vegetation is very very easy all

you need to do is go over here where you

have the paint click this is going to

launch an echo painter we can go over to

the echo painter which is what we have

right here and we can decide what we

want to paint so we don't have anything

here and to add items we can simply

click on ADD items and we can click on

ADD plants so these are the plants that

we like to have I can go in and have

them selected click on okay and say we

would like them to be static meshes of

course if you like them to be animated

meshes procedural meshes you can choose

to do that I'm just simply going to make

sure that we have them in here and we

can load up all of these so just like we

have with twin motion and all the other

stuff that we've talked about and that

has to do with painting we can go in and

paint this vegetation however we choose

there's also a global setting for the

paint brush so if you like to increase

or reduce the radius you can of course

go in and do all of that and like we

mentioned once we start making changes

you would notice that they automatically

update because we have our real-time

renderer simply doing the hard work for

us if you like to clean up any of the

ones you can simply click on the erase

brush just like you have with the

vegetation tool in Unreal Engine and you

can clean this up as well and once

you're done painting you can of course

launch a new ecosystem so if you like to

work with multiple ecosystems you can

have that this also comes with some

presets so probably you don't want to

spend so much time setting up these

things yourself you can use the presets

that already exist and go in and make

the painting decisions for yourself and

contrary to popular belief this actually

handles huge polygons very very well so

if you're trying to set up something

like that you can simply go in and do

all of these things by hand another

thing which I think should be super

useful is painting things like pebbles

say for example we would like to paint a

couple of pebbles in our scene and what

we can do is similar to what we've just

done all we need to do is click on add

item section go over to where we have

the Rocks select the Rocks we like to

paint in say for example we like to

paint in this holding down control we

can click and select multiple ones we

can proceed to just simply click on this

button to apply them so once we have

that we can go ahead and paint the

Pebbles however we choose there's also

multiple ecosystem tools that you can

also go in and paint and all of these

are currently available for you to

explore and start creating amazing

looking Landscapes and if there's any

Echo painter you like to reuse you can

also click on the save button to save

this there's a couple of presets and

parameters that you you can always

explore and this is for those who like

to paint their ecosystem by hand and get

things going and for the plant content

if you like to have more the folks at

Bentley has also released a plant

catalog so you can of course click on

this plus button and locate the file

section where you have the catalog and

you can add this in case you want to

have varieties of plants that you can

spread within your scene and if you like

to play with other tools that exist here

of course you can first off we're just

going to go in and we're going to do a

hard click and drag and we're going to

get a procedural out terrain because you

know I kind of think that we should add

one more so I'm just going to move these

over to this point and we would use the

widgets and simply change it okay so

that looks really really nice we can

just drag that down and we can make

another copy by holding down alt on the

keyboard and we can switch transforms

with the standard tools which is the q w

e and r so we're just going to use that

to do a simple rotation so once we have

that I can also go ahead and bring this

down and position this right right where

I think it should leave okay so once we

have this going we can go ahead and play

with planetary bodies so I can click

right here and we can load in a new

planet if we scroll down you'll notice

we have a planet right there and I can

move these into position so this is

currently the moon so if we would like

to have this within our scene let's

refresh that and see so if we like to

have this within our scene yes we can so

we can throw in the moon there if this

is what we want if we like to change

this to probably venu or something else

we can of course go ahead and do that

and automatically that would also be

reflected there there's a couple of

object parameters that you can use to

change and position how these things is

and you can play with the phasing to get

the most out of it now one thing which

we haven't mentioned is textures so if

you want to texture anything let's

actually start off with this one if you

like to texture anything have that

object selected and then you can go over

to the object inspect or the object

aspect as it's called here do a simple

double click in let's drag this into our

window and you can make changes so if we

simply double click we can also select

the type of landscape textures that we

want most of the landscape textures you

ever be looking for already exist and

there's a couple of interesting

materials that exist right here so

probably we would like to have that and

I can simply have that there and click

on okay and automatically that becomes

what it is we can of course go in double

click if we like to have an overall

color let's go in and drag this slightly

lower make that slightly darker and we

can have it going the same thing can be

done for these other ones so we can also

go in and have them selected let's

actually select the procedural terrain

and we can go ahead and make some

changes as well just to apply the kind

of material that we want them to have at

the same time just like you have with a

simple terrain if you proceed to double

click on the procedural terrain or if

you select the procedural terrain and

click on this button you can of course

go in and make some tering editing if

these are things that you're going for

so probably we might want to conver add

this to a canyon we can go ahead and do

that let's add some craters to these and

probably terase it just about that much

okay so once we have that we can also

click on okay and now we have this right

here the same thing that we just saw

with the previous ones for the textures

is also the very same thing that we're

going to do for this one too so we can

have that and click on this button to

preview what they look like when we're

done with the final rendering so you can

proceed to add as many textures as you

want and style the scenes to your hat

content and with this ready if you like

to see the material summary probably you

want to see what and what you have in

your scene you can so you can simply

just go over to your material summary

and you can see all the materials that

you have right here so we can also go in

have this SC selected and choose to

expand that if we want one final thing

which I think a lot of you guys may also

want to see is is this even animated as

much as you can place all of these

things in here you can go in and throw

wind and other kind of effects to drive

your scene so if you like to hide lock

and unhide stuff how you can do that is

very simple say for example we like to

hide this terrain what we can do is

click on this button so you've got two

clicks the first one would lock the

object so you cannot move the object and

the second one is definitely going to go

in and hide it so we can do the same

thing here so we can lock and hide and

because you know we have it selected

that's why you can still see that if I

go in and just turn that off and the

same thing can be done for every other

thing right here so if we go over to

this Terrain you can lock it it turns

gray and if you click one more button

you hide it and that is how you hide and

lock stuff in your viewport now within

the World Browser or the inspector you

can also find some more stuff here so

these are places where you can find what

is connected to what how you can access

those and how you can tweak the settings

for all that like in this case with a

physical seawater we do have the foam

and the default water so in case you

like to make changes to this of course

you can go ahead and do all of that the

same thing happens with what textures is

l to what textures and you have the

properties that exist within one layer

which means you can go in and create as

many layers as you want and build as

many scenes as you want on top of

whatever you're creating and like I

mentioned earlier contrary to what most

people do believe that you need like a

beefy computer to get things going this

technically do not really rely on a

massive amount of computing power to get

things going all right let's talk about

animation which I believe a lot of you

guys will be super excited about so in

this case we have our lovely scene and

maybe what we would like to do is just

get our camera move from this point over

to this point okay so we can do that and

how to do this is extremely simple go

over to animation use the animation

Wizard and of course if you do have an

animation part probably you've tracked

the camera and you've converted that

camera track to a part you can also come

over here and import it you can also

import synchronized data as well and you

know these are just lovely stuff so for

here we're going to click on animation

Wizard and we can go over to next select

the kind of animation we want so if we

like a standard animation good and fine

if you like this to be a missile a

helicopter shot whatever shot you want

you can simply do that in this case I'm

just simply going to say maybe we want a

speed bolt because you know it is here

or probably we can just do a simple

standard one okay and we can go over to

next and it's going to ask us if we want

this to be a one time team a repeated

stuff a loop pendular stuff which is

like back and forth whatever we want we

can select it in this case again we're

going to select once go over to next and

if we want our camera to spin on our

rival we can so we can turn on the spin

and we can decide how much spin we want

say for example we want this to just

spin about 8° okay that would spin about

8° within a given axis so you can select

that if you want if you want your camera

to vibrate you can also add the

vibration you can turn off the spin if

you want of course and whatever thing

you get to select you notice that there

is a preview for it so once we have that

going we're not going to select any of

this because that isn't what we want

want we can click on next and here is

where we Define our camera movement so

we can see where our camera is right

here and if we like a movement or a path

to be created we can click and then

click and that is how easy it is now in

some cases you would also notice that

you've got this tiny Bend happening

there so what you can do with that is

literally simple go in here and use the

edit okay so we can use the edit to edit

that and we can move these over to a

point like so and this is how we can set

it up and once you're ready probably you

want to insert multiple points you can

go in and insert that you want to delete

points you can do that but once you're

ready you can click on next and right

here you can select the duration of your

movement for this one we're just simply

going to set 10 seconds because I think

that's fair enough and we can click on

next and with that we have our shot now

if you're not comfortable with the speed

or any of the things you can always go

back say for example we can go back well

and I can drag this slightly closer

Let's uh undo that let's use the delete

tool to delete that small stuff that we

just added right here we can use the

edit and I can just maybe we want this

to move from this point then maybe to

this point and also to this point as

well maybe a little bit faster will be

fine we can go over to next 10 seconds

sounds good and we can have it so

depending on what you're trying to

create you can simply go ahead and make

these decisions and get your camera

animated and once you have that this

automatically gets plugged into your

timeline so if you go over to your

timeline you would notice all of the

points that we added earlier they are

now converted to key frames and you can

proceed to open up these things and make

more decisions on how you want them to

react so right here we're looking

through the perspective let's switch

over to the active camera so we can see

it so this is the active camera and this

is what our animation would look like so

at this point if we would like to set a

key frame we can so we we can have that

selected and we can go ahead and make a

key adjustment so we can go in make a

key adjustment in this case and by every

means these things are set to automatic

key frames so if you right click you

notice auto key frame is turned on so

once you've got something animated

automatic key frames are turned on and

you know you can always go to town with

it this case I can also have that

selected right click and we can go over

to the key frame probably we don't want

to keep that and I can delete that key

frame and we can move over to the final

key frame which we have here and we can

make some changes to that let's also

zoom in so if you hold on control you

can zoom into this and I can simply pan

with the right Mouse button over to a

position like so and with a few sort of

features for the camera so maybe you

like to play with the camera position

the camera orientation all of these are

totally up to you and you can work with

them so in this case if you press the

playback button you would now notice

that we can get that animation working

so again depending on what you're trying

to make you can flip these cameras in

and out switch these cameras get some

cool stuff working for you and animate

your scenes however you choose and once

you have this you're good to go and want

thing to keep in mind for timelines is

this that for a timeline like this if

you choose to make any adjustment there

is an automatic key frame that already

exists so if you right click you would

notice auto key frame is turned on and

this is something you can turn off if

you don't want to create unnecessary key

frame frames as you move your camera so

I'm just simply going to go ahead and

have that selected right click go over

to key frame and we can delete that key

frame so if you don't want to have

automatic key framing all the time turn

this off and you can go in and key frame

these things however you choose when you

want to key frame it so in this case we

can go over to a position like so move

this slightly upwards right click and we

can go over to key frame and add a key

frame for that and once you're ready to

render how you can render is very simple

so you can go over to the render section

actually you would notice that we've got

two different kinds of rendering the NPR

and we also got the render so we can

right click and we can come over here

and Define the kind of render we want so

if you like this to just be a simple

render probably final render an ultra

render Superior render broadcast render

you can set that render how you choose

this is where you get to define the

aspect ratio of what you're trying to

make and for our case we would like to

do a simple 1920 x 1080 let's actually

go ahead and find that that should be a

16x 9 and this is what we want as much

as I know you can render images I've

actually not found a setting that allows

you render videos actually most of the

times you probably would have to send

this off to another destination and get

the rendering happening and you know it

is one of those things and speaking

about renders it is also mentioning that

we've got Cycles rendering here so we've

got both the Cycles rendering and also

the simple patraca rendering which is

also amazing so in this case we can go

over to the edit section of the pat

Tracer and edit the pat Tracer however

we want again this is depending on what

you're trying to create and in this case

once we're ready to go we can simply

click on the render button and this is

going to initialize a render currently

this is outside my screen but then it

will initialize a render and we can use

that to see what the final rendering

result would look like for multiple

renders and you know stuff like that I

would definitely suggest that you EXP

this and use this in other DCC apps as

they will probably give you more

flexibilities on dealing with animation

and rendering the final shot there's one

final thing which I think you guys may

also want to know and that has to do

with exporting so you can export your

entire scene as both fbx a Lambic and

also USD this is a 2024 tool which is

definitely future proof for a very long

time of course updates may not be coming

to this after this particular release

probably patches and all that might be

the only thing coming to this to but for

the most part if you're looking at

exporting this probably you want to use

it for zbrush or probably you want to

use it as an almic file then you can go

ahead and see these things for yourself

and Export them to the desired file type

that you want so this is it view is now

here and a huge shout out to the folks

at Bentley for making this one available

of course we're going to make another

video where we're going to talk about

the incredible plant Factory tool which

they've also announced with this and for

those who like to see it and probably

follow us through or through walk

through they link to that would also be

in the description of this video and of

course Vice ver tell me what you guys

think about this one in the comment

section and of course you like this

video I something from this you can go

ahead and give a like and don't forget

to share with a friend I see you guys in

the next one peace
