00:00:00.468 --> 00:00:00.936
Hello,

00:00:01.300 --> 00:00:03.535
welcome to another video

00:00:03.536 --> 00:00:05.356
of the Blender Animation Workflow Tutorials.

00:00:05.824 --> 00:00:08.579
On today's video, I'm going to talk about

00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:09.568
Collections.

00:00:10.504 --> 00:00:12.479
Collections are the easiest way

00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:15.235
of sorting all the stuff in our scene

00:00:15.236 --> 00:00:15.912
in the Outliner.

00:00:16.692 --> 00:00:18.823
They were like folders in which we can add stuff,

00:00:18.824 --> 00:00:22.724
like objects, lines, armature etc,

00:00:23.192 --> 00:00:25.323
and then control the properties of all of the stuff

00:00:25.324 --> 00:00:27.299
in the collection at the same time.

00:00:28.704 --> 00:00:30.523
There is different ways of creating a new Collections.

00:00:32.448 --> 00:00:35.203
You can go to the top right corner of the Outliner,

00:00:37.336 --> 00:00:39.156
it is a new empty Collections.

00:00:40.092 --> 00:00:41.703
You can right click on the Outliner,

00:00:44.980 --> 00:00:46.747
you can go into the Viewport

00:00:46.748 --> 00:00:47.892
and press M,

00:00:49.036 --> 00:00:50.856
and you can create a new Collection here.

00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:57.303
As an example, I'm going to sort this scene

00:00:57.304 --> 00:00:59.591
as I will do it on my animation file.

00:01:01.048 --> 00:01:02.555
So I'm going to the Collection,

00:01:02.556 --> 00:01:04.636
I'm going to call this one "Set",

00:01:06.404 --> 00:01:08.379
second collection I'm going to name it

00:01:08.380 --> 00:01:09.056
"Geometry",

00:01:12.748 --> 00:01:14.411
third one I'm going to call it "Rigs".

00:01:19.404 --> 00:01:21.848
For moving objects inside a Collection,

00:01:22.056 --> 00:01:22.992
click them,

00:01:25.904 --> 00:01:26.268
move it.

00:01:26.892 --> 00:01:28.556
This case I'm going to move it to "Set".

00:01:29.856 --> 00:01:32.092
Now these two objects

00:01:32.456 --> 00:01:35.367
are inside "Set", so I can just change

00:01:35.368 --> 00:01:38.124
the visibility or deselect.

00:01:39.580 --> 00:01:42.023
For the "Rigs", going to do the same,

00:01:42.024 --> 00:01:44.104
click the "Rigs" and move it.

00:01:45.612 --> 00:01:47.224
And the same for the "Geometry".

00:01:51.436 --> 00:01:54.035
We can also add objects to a collection

00:01:54.036 --> 00:01:55.024
from the Viewport.

00:02:01.992 --> 00:02:03.500
By pressing the letter M,

00:02:04.592 --> 00:02:06.723
and then selecting the collection

00:02:06.724 --> 00:02:07.400
we want to move it to.

00:02:09.636 --> 00:02:11.455
And then, it will appear inside that Collection.

00:02:13.536 --> 00:02:15.823
We can also create collections inside collections.

00:02:17.124 --> 00:02:19.255
I just click in the Collection

00:02:19.256 --> 00:02:21.336
we want to create the collection into

00:02:22.168 --> 00:02:24.300
by pressing this icon over here,

00:02:25.548 --> 00:02:27.835
and then we will get a collection inside a collection.

00:02:46.504 --> 00:02:48.791
When I'm working on the Viewport,

00:02:48.792 --> 00:02:50.611
I don't like to go into the Outliner

00:02:50.612 --> 00:02:52.847
to change the visibility, because

00:02:52.848 --> 00:02:54.200
you lose a lot of time by just going there.

00:02:55.292 --> 00:02:57.579
What I generally do is, go into the End menu,

00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:01.011
here we have the collection visibility,

00:03:01.012 --> 00:03:03.923
which is a simplified version

00:03:03.924 --> 00:03:06.004
of the collection you have in your scene.

00:03:06.368 --> 00:03:08.500
Here you can change the visibility.

00:03:11.100 --> 00:03:13.335
Another way of changing the visibility

00:03:13.336 --> 00:03:15.155
in the Viewport is the one I use the most,

00:03:15.156 --> 00:03:18.223
is by using numbers.

00:03:18.224 --> 00:03:18.900
So if I press 1,

00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:21.655
collection 1, which is the one that is on top

00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:24.048
will be visible.

00:03:24.256 --> 00:03:26.700
And all the other ones will get hidden.

00:03:27.636 --> 00:03:28.624
If I press 2,

00:03:29.404 --> 00:03:31.379
exactly the same, you can read the second collection.

00:03:35.956 --> 00:03:38.867
If I want to add collections, I can press Shift,

00:03:38.868 --> 00:03:41.936
and then 2, for example, or 3.

00:03:42.404 --> 00:03:43.704
And I can do the same

00:03:43.912 --> 00:03:46.355
if I press 3 again and 2 again,

00:03:46.356 --> 00:03:47.812
it will hide those collections.

00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:51.347
This is super fast and this is the one

00:03:51.348 --> 00:03:52.700
I use the most in animation.

00:03:53.480 --> 00:03:55.456
This concludes the Collection video.

00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:58.055
Thank you so much for watching

00:03:58.056 --> 00:03:59.148
 and see you on the next one.
