00:00:00.884 --> 00:00:03.015
Hello, welcome to a new video

00:00:03.016 --> 00:00:05.459
of the Blender Animation Workflow Tutorials.

00:00:05.460 --> 00:00:07.539
On today's video, I'm going to be talking about

00:00:07.540 --> 00:00:09.256
Quick Access.

00:00:10.452 --> 00:00:13.259
I will cover Quick Favorite, Shortcuts, Pie Menu

00:00:13.260 --> 00:00:16.484
and a quick overview of others.

00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:19.915
Pie Menu is a simple menu

00:00:19.916 --> 00:00:22.151
where we can select depending on the direction

00:00:22.152 --> 00:00:23.400
in which we move the cursor.

00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:26.727
Now, I'm going to go through all the Pie Menu

00:00:26.728 --> 00:00:28.652
used for animation.

00:00:28.860 --> 00:00:30.627
Some of the Pie Menu I'm going to mention

00:00:30.628 --> 00:00:33.799
in this video are off by default.

00:00:33.800 --> 00:00:35.983
But because they are really useful

00:00:35.984 --> 00:00:38.583
and improve efficiency, I'm going to show you

00:00:38.584 --> 00:00:40.040
how to activate them.

00:00:40.716 --> 00:00:42.795
The first Pie Menu I'm going to show you

00:00:42.796 --> 00:00:44.771
is the one I used to switch between

00:00:44.772 --> 00:00:46.384
the different modes in Blender.

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:49.139
To activate this one, we have to go to

00:00:49.140 --> 00:00:51.116
Edit, Preferences,

00:00:51.740 --> 00:00:52.416
and Keymap.

00:00:52.884 --> 00:00:55.327
In Keymap, you have to check Tab For Pie Menu.

00:00:56.472 --> 00:00:58.551
Remember to save your preference

00:00:58.552 --> 00:00:59.696
if you want to keep it.

00:01:02.400 --> 00:01:05.155
Now if I select an object in the 3D Viewer

00:01:05.156 --> 00:01:07.495
and stop, it doesn't matter where am I

00:01:07.496 --> 00:01:08.796
in the 3D viewer,

00:01:09.472 --> 00:01:11.239
I can change between the different modes

00:01:11.240 --> 00:01:13.059
in Blender. So let's say

00:01:13.060 --> 00:01:14.256
I want to go into Edit Mode,

00:01:14.672 --> 00:01:16.700
I don't have to actually click them

00:01:16.856 --> 00:01:17.740
where they want to go.

00:01:18.156 --> 00:01:20.027
I just have to go in that direction

00:01:20.028 --> 00:01:21.172
and then released them.

00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:23.771
Once your master memory get used to it,

00:01:23.772 --> 00:01:25.851
you don't even have to look

00:01:25.852 --> 00:01:28.555
at the Pie Menus anymore. So for example,

00:01:28.556 --> 00:01:30.739
I know Object Mode is always on the left

00:01:30.740 --> 00:01:32.871
and Edit Mode is always on the right,

00:01:32.872 --> 00:01:34.795
if I want to change really quick

00:01:34.796 --> 00:01:37.083
to Object mode from Edit mode,

00:01:37.084 --> 00:01:37.552
I just have to

00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.672
tap, left, released up, and then

00:01:41.296 --> 00:01:41.972
I'm in Edit mode.

00:01:44.884 --> 00:01:47.951
You can see this is really fast

00:01:47.952 --> 00:01:50.083
 and it has a lot of benefits for saving time in animation.

00:01:51.852 --> 00:01:53.359
To use the next Pie Menu we're going to talk about,

00:01:53.360 --> 00:01:55.856
you have to go to Edit,

00:01:56.272 --> 00:01:57.416
Preferences,

00:01:58.196 --> 00:01:58.872
Addons,

00:01:59.340 --> 00:02:00.016
and then go

00:02:00.484 --> 00:02:02.356
Pie Menu.

00:02:03.656 --> 00:02:06.983
This one Pie Menu, 3D for Pie Menu,

00:02:06.984 --> 00:02:08.855
activate this one, and then I'm going to look

00:02:08.856 --> 00:02:10.156
for the one I want,

00:02:11.040 --> 00:02:12.860
which is called Manipulator Pie

00:02:13.640 --> 00:02:15.616
and it's activated by Control Space.

00:02:16.656 --> 00:02:18.840
Addon is a component

00:02:18.996 --> 00:02:20.815
that adds a specific feature

00:02:20.816 --> 00:02:21.856
to an existing computer program.

00:02:23.052 --> 00:02:24.715
Remember to save the Preference

00:02:24.716 --> 00:02:25.600
if you want to keep this.

00:02:30.072 --> 00:02:32.255
What I can do with this Pie Menu is

00:02:32.256 --> 00:02:34.595
to switch between the different manipulator types

00:02:34.596 --> 00:02:37.455
we use to interact in the Viewport.

00:02:37.456 --> 00:02:41.095
I can do Ctrl Space and go to the left,

00:02:41.096 --> 00:02:43.071
and I will get that manipulator for Translate.

00:02:44.372 --> 00:02:47.127
Ctrl Space and the right to rotate.

00:02:47.128 --> 00:02:49.260
Crtl Space down to scale.

00:02:49.728 --> 00:02:53.159
Ctrl Space up to hide or unhide the manipulator.

00:02:54.616 --> 00:02:56.851
As you can see, it's really quick and fast

00:02:56.852 --> 00:02:58.827
to switch between the different manipulators.

00:03:02.052 --> 00:03:04.755
Just remember, this Pie Menu will not work

00:03:04.756 --> 00:03:07.251
if you have a tool activated in the Toolbar.

00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:09.852
So right now, as it is,

00:03:10.216 --> 00:03:11.984
it will not do anything.

00:03:13.128 --> 00:03:15.259
So you need to be in Box Select.

00:03:20.096 --> 00:03:21.759
The next Pie Menue I'm going to talk about

00:03:21.760 --> 00:03:24.256
is this Orientation Pie menu

00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:26.284
which you can access by pressing ",".

00:03:27.428 --> 00:03:29.715
It is the same thing like going up here and

00:03:29.716 --> 00:03:31.328
changing the different modes.

00:03:32.160 --> 00:03:36.995
I can change it to Local, Normal,

00:03:36.996 --> 00:03:38.660
Cursor, Gimbal,

00:03:39.128 --> 00:03:40.428
or through the 3D View.

00:03:43.340 --> 00:03:45.783
Another Pie is the Pivot Point.

00:03:45.784 --> 00:03:47.552
We can access by pressing the ".",

00:03:48.696 --> 00:03:51.451
so I can change it to Individual Origin.

00:03:51.452 --> 00:03:54.051
And now if I select the three objects,

00:03:54.052 --> 00:03:56.755
they will rotate around each individual centre.

00:04:00.760 --> 00:04:03.671
Or, I can switch it to 3D Cursor.

00:04:03.672 --> 00:04:05.751
And then if I move the 3D cursor somewhere else,

00:04:06.896 --> 00:04:09.183
I can just rotate from the 3D cursor.

00:04:11.056 --> 00:04:13.240
The last Pie Menu I'm going to show you

00:04:13.500 --> 00:04:16.515
is the 3D View Pie Menu.

00:04:16.516 --> 00:04:19.427
You can access it by pressing the Grave Accent.

00:04:19.428 --> 00:04:21.455
Here, you can change your Camera Viewport

00:04:21.456 --> 00:04:22.652
to the top,

00:04:23.016 --> 00:04:25.356
right, left,

00:04:25.772 --> 00:04:27.955
or the video on. Or even if you have

00:04:27.956 --> 00:04:29.100
a camera in your scene,

00:04:33.416 --> 00:04:35.340
you can also access the camera.

00:04:37.784 --> 00:04:39.655
And for the last topic of this video,

00:04:39.656 --> 00:04:42.359
I'm going to cover Quick Favorites.

00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:44.699
Quick Favorites  was a Menu that was added

00:04:44.700 --> 00:04:48.495
in Blender 2.8 to be able to add

00:04:48.496 --> 00:04:50.628
all your favorite toggles into a menu.

00:04:51.252 --> 00:04:53.696
You can access this menu by pressing Q.

00:04:54.372 --> 00:04:56.295
Right now I don't have anything assigned yet.

00:04:57.960 --> 00:05:01.027
So, for example, I usually like to have

00:05:01.028 --> 00:05:03.627
the bones into the Quick Access menu.

00:05:03.628 --> 00:05:06.071
You go into the toggle you want,

00:05:06.072 --> 00:05:06.956
 you press right click,

00:05:08.256 --> 00:05:09.556
Add To Quick Favorites,

00:05:10.856 --> 00:05:12.260
now it's in this menu.

00:05:13.352 --> 00:05:14.860
I can toggle on and off

00:05:15.328 --> 00:05:16.160
the things I want.

00:05:17.460 --> 00:05:19.799
You can also add buttons that are inside menus.

00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:24.271
One I usually like to have is a Viewport Render Image

00:05:24.272 --> 00:05:26.872
or Viewport Render Animation.

00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.252
So I can add it to Quick Favorites,

00:05:34.828 --> 00:05:36.699
and I have a quick access to make my renders.

00:05:38.572 --> 00:05:40.859
You can assign shortcuts the same way

00:05:40.860 --> 00:05:42.784
you add to the Quick Favorites menu.

00:05:43.252 --> 00:05:46.059
Let's go to a button, right click, and then

00:05:46.060 --> 00:05:48.400
can assign the letter S

00:05:48.816 --> 00:05:50.896
to the shortcut.

00:05:52.196 --> 00:05:54.171
The problem with these is that

00:05:54.172 --> 00:05:56.771
this option is not available yet in all the buttons.

00:05:56.772 --> 00:05:59.215
But it's planned

00:05:59.216 --> 00:06:00.828
to be available in all of them.

00:06:02.128 --> 00:06:03.895
Right now, if you want to change your shortcut

00:06:03.896 --> 00:06:06.027
or your Keymap, you have to go

00:06:06.028 --> 00:06:09.200
to Edit, Preferences, and then Keymap.

00:06:09.616 --> 00:06:11.695
And here you have the full list of shortcuts

00:06:11.696 --> 00:06:13.516
that Blender is using.

00:06:14.816 --> 00:06:17.571
You can also make your own.

00:06:17.572 --> 00:06:19.755
You can import and export this once

00:06:19.756 --> 00:06:21.939
and you can change some of the key settings

00:06:21.940 --> 00:06:22.356
of Blender.

00:06:23.656 --> 00:06:25.683
This concludes the Quick Access video.

00:06:25.684 --> 00:06:28.439
Thank you so much for watching,

00:06:28.440 --> 00:06:29.584
and see you on the next one.
