5. Blending Modes---1-2.Blending Options
P44 - 00:00
So let me do a quick recap and summarize on first previous for lessons.
P44 - 00:06针对前面课程做个复盘。
So overall I showed you progressively, we started very simple. We use like abstract textures exercise silhouette. They also did like different variations from abstract shapes and stuff like that.
P44 - 00:20做变异 轮廓和形状。
And also I showed you a different painting methods because I think there is not a single way of doing things that were like a lot of different ways of doing stuff.
P44 - 00:29很多思考和做事的方式。
So that's the reason why I show you different approaches. So you will be able to select on the stick with the one that you like.
P44 - 00:40不用坚持自己喜欢的。
And that fits you. And your painting style and your way of thinking.
P44 - 00:44学会突破思维模式。
But also I keep reminding is but what I really tried to communicate to you is that simple is always good.
P44 - 00:53简单的就是好的。
And numerous times I kept repeating it. And I was showing you examples Why? Actually I think with this lecture It's actually kind of taking it to the next level. And you will see how simplicity actually helps us to go and create much more complex things.
P44 - 01:11简单的也可以创建复杂的。
Let me quickly sketch for you something very simple, something that you could easily do by your like keeping composition rules in mind and stuff like that.
P44 - 01:23记住合成的原则。
So i'd say we did something like this, So now it's time to take this one into the next level. And I will show you how to do it using blending modes.
P44 - 01:37如何用混合模式做出来。
For example, because all the values here, they are very flat. And we just use two values, white and black.
P44 - 01:43我们只用黑白两色。
It's very easy to for me to make selections.
P44 - 01:48我做选择非常容易。
For example, if I go over here to the magic wand, which I have a sign tool.
P44 - 01:56用魔幻工具。
And I can easily with shift click, I can select this area that I want to paint or introduce some gradient.
P44 - 02:02选中想加入梯度的区域。
For example, if I want to do some sky, Now it's a completely different picture.
P44 - 02:08比如加入天空就是不同的图谱。
So imagine if this whole area was very busy with different small values, that it would be very difficult to change all that stuff.
P44 - 02:16用小的阈值，很难修改。
So selection is one way to do to alternate things. Like for example, if you wanted to introduce a little bit of folk, selected.
P44 - 02:28比如你可以加入雾蒙蒙。
But I wanna show you how to use blending mode is very clever because sometimes selection is not enough.
P44 - 02:32选择加上混合模式工具。
And for example, let's say I painted this and now there is no way I can select everything I need to multiple selection.
P44 - 02:38我需要多重选择。
It's not always working. So that's why we need blending modes. And first, I will explain you how to use layer blending mode.
P44 - 02:48如何用图层混合模式。
So if you double click on this guy, And you see these guys, two guys, basically the way to work like this Top row, I will start with the bottom one. basically, you have this guy over here and this guy over here.
P44 - 03:06有两个调节。
So what does it mean? So when is drag a slider?
P44 - 03:10当你拖动滑块的时候。
I think it's better for me to draw something. Let me just use it for really obvious red color. Let me put it like this.
P44 - 03:18用醒目红色来演示。
And now I just want this red to be on the wide surfaces.
P44 - 03:23想放置到宽屏上。
Like I want this red to be in this guy. So how do we do that without a selection.
P44 - 03:30不用选择如何做到的。
we double click on the layer. And you exclude basically the blacks.
P44 - 03:37双击图层，对话框排除黑色。
So you have to drag it to the point gives you this. So basically, you can see here, it shows you the range, but you will be using to kind of readjust those.
P44 - 03:50给到一个调节红色的范围。
So you slide this, and basically that's all you need. So afterwards, whenever you paint, it will only paint in the white areas,
P44 - 04:02所以只会绘制带白色区域。
which is very useful because let's say you wanna introduce a different kind of mood.
P44 - 04:07比如你想替换不同的影视情调。
you're just using a gradient, soft brush.
P44 - 04:15比如用带梯度的软刷子。
And you can easily do it without a selection.
P44 - 04:17这样做不需要选择区域。
If you might recognize, you get this kind of outline.
P44 - 04:21你会发现你得到这轮廓。
And this is something you fix, if you press out and expand this guy a little bit more.
P44 - 04:29这是修复，探索很多。
So it's kind of allowing it to exclude few different values.
P44 - 04:32排除掉不同的阈值。
Not only one over here, but the range between this and that will be excluded.
P44 - 04:39范围的阈值会是被排除在外的。
It's very powerful. Because like for example, you can copy merge this guy.
P44 - 04:44可以复制融合。
That's your first version, for example, imagine if you're doing some presentation for your client,
P44 - 04:56比如给客户展示。
but then you can go back and selected again to a different version.
P44 - 04:59回去选择不同的版本。
that could be a second version and you copy merged it.
P44 - 05:04这是第二个版本，复制融合。
And now you see you have completely different versions, but you spent literally like one second like less than one minute on doing those,
P44 - 05:15不同版本花费少于一分钟的时间。
just because you're having this blending mode option. And let me just, for example, you can also paint with the normal brushes.
P44 - 05:26可以绘制正常的刷子。
let's say, if you want to introduce some kind of structure behind it, Let's see if it was on the landscape, but it was some kind of like slide five structure.
P44 - 05:36比如四五个结构。
So let’s say it’s very easy to manipulate it because you're only painting where your whites are,
P44 - 05:43你只是绘制白色地方在哪里。
you not painting on the black color. And also you can change it afterwards. You see, and it's not affecting your previous silhouette.
P44 - 05:57会影响之前的轮廓。
Just affecting where your whites are.
P44 - 06:05只是影响白色的位置。
so it's very powerful thing to do.
P44 - 06:09这是非常有效的事情。
because it allows you to change so many things as you go.
P44 - 06:15允许改变很多东西。
Let's create a new layer. Like also you can, for example, if you making a version, for example, you did something and your client likes the silver, but he says, like, oh, I want to experiment with this guy, You go and you can create a group.
P44 - 06:30比如创建一组。
And again, you do the same for the group. And then inside the group, for example, you can you can start playing.
P44 - 06:37在组内，可以绘制。
That's version of one, press one, And you create a new layer.
P44 - 06:44按1添加新图层。
And the beauty of it is like you can do it manually, like I can create a new layer I can paint in clouds or something.
P44 - 06:57比如可以绘制新图层，加入云彩。
And then moving them around and see what works for me.
P44 - 07:03左右移动云彩图层选择适合的。
Or at some point I can swap with the photos as well,
P44 - 07:09某点可以和照片切换。
I can take a photo and slobbering and I will have a very good kind of integration without actually going on selecting and messing with a really complicated selections.
P44 - 07:18选择照片，有个复杂的选择。
So that's why you can easily see that staying simple is very important. Because if you had a lot of gradient and a lot of paint marks over here, you had to do it manually.
P44 - 07:31如果有梯度和标记，需要手动。
You know what? It takes some serious time to do that. Let's say you can do stuff like this.
P44 - 07:40需要花一段时间去做。
And now it's completely different story.
P44 - 07:58加入光，完全不同的故事。
And as you can see, this version is completely different than this one is completely different.
P44 - 08:14两个完全不同的故事。
So that's how you exclude darks.
P44 - 08:17这就是如何剥除黑暗的。
But how about if I want to paint on the ceiling? That so it's very straightforward. Let's create another group.
P44 - 08:23创建另一个组。
And you double click on this guy.
P44 - 08:27双击图层属性。
And instead of dragging from here. And now when you paint something, it will only affect your. Like for example, let me pick up the color that is different from the background.
P44 - 08:42选择和背景不同的颜色。
And when I paint, you see it just paints on the silhouette itself.
P44 - 08:49绘制轮廓外形。
and it's very useful because sometimes you want to introduce a little bit of fog or you will do that like dark something.
P44 - 08:59比如绘制雾气等。
And that’s how you do it. So it's very good. It's just straightforward. I don't wanna bother you anymore how it works. I think you got the point.
P44 - 09:19就这样涂抹出雾气浓重的感觉。
But let's say, for example, you actually want to separate you for. Let me copy this guy. And instead of like, let me hide everything else. Instead of trying to delete everything, like, let's say you're building up your picture,
P44 - 09:36比如隐藏一切或删除一些。
And you won't get rid of this background with the whites.
P44 - 09:40不用用白色删除掉黑色。
The way you do you use this guy over here.
P44 - 09:42用属性图层。
So the second option controls the way you like the layer underneath layer controls your current layer.
P44 - 09:53用下面的图层控制当前的图层。
And this one basically controls the layer itself. So if I drag it from here, you see, I start to lose blacks. And if I drag it from here, I will start to lose whites.
P44 - 10:06上图层失白色，底图层失黑色。
So basically, imagine if there was a sky that I painted behind it.
P44 - 10:14比如背后绘制气候层。
Like some kind of sky. Before I did that, you can see why which I don't want to see. So you only need to do is to drag these guys. And you will start revealing the actual. And it depends on what your story is. You can keep going to the moment you feel. maybe this is like a hazy environment. And that's why I want to see those.
P44 - 10:49比如可以调节成雾霾天。
So this is kind of the next step where we're going, we starting to kind of introduce a lot more atmosphere using gradient.
P44 - 11:00引入梯度加入氛围。
And that's why we need firstly we had to have very flat surfaces and very flat areas.
P44 - 11:10加入平的表面。
But now having those we can create infinite amount of different stories. Just using one silhouette.
P44 - 11:21一个轮廓剪影可以创建气象万千。
I will stop this video and I will go and quickly paint some ideas and you will see how really quickly just from one silhouette that will get like a bunch of different scenarios that we'll be ready to take to the next level.
5. Blending Modes---1-3.Blend Techniques
P45 - 00:00
So we've got this really simple example an example. And I will try quickly to show you how to very quickly get some really interesting results.
P45 - 00:12展示如何快速创建结果。
So i've got my silhouette. Let me come combine it with the background, and i've got my version’s,
P45 - 00:18带背景版本的场景。
So as I showed you before, I excluded blacks. So I will be painting only on whites right now.
P45 - 00:25移除黑色，只在白色上绘制。
So and there are two ways you can do it. You can do it as I showed you before.
P45 - 00:34第一种办法是绘制。
You can start painting. But if you're struggling with like properly creating a good atmosphere, you can also use this gradient tool.
P45 - 00:41创建大气层和梯度。
So basically, you can use like a normal gradient like this.
P45 - 00:48可以用正常的梯度。
Or you can also use this guy over here, which is also very cool, because it it can give you different ideas that you could not come up with when you just doing it by painting.
P45 - 01:04针对如何绘制打开思路。
And then basically, for example, let's say that's our first version. That's the sky with different levels. Let’s say be one. Then we can make duplicates.
P45 - 01:16比如天空两个重叠层。
And then you can, for example, try out this guy over here. Basically creates this kind of things.
P45 - 01:30比如可以绘制星空。
It doesn't look right, but hold on and we will make it working. So after you've done it, if you can select everything and you start stretching it.
P45 - 01:41选择一切后延展。
You see kind of implies that the way you would create clouds,
P45 - 01:49这就是创建云层的方案。
you can move things around. Until you can find a good balance.
P45 - 01:57这样可以找到很好的平衡。
That's a good one. So now you can see a problem. If it wasn't an environment, you probably would have like a rain over there.
P45 - 02:15这样就可以绘制云彩下面的雨。
as we know, and. This is not something you would consciously do, but because you're sliding that, for example, you can copy it harder and so keep moving in around and maybe find something else as well.
P45 - 02:33复制大气层之后移动。
I think I crop did right. So let's do it again. So let's use our friend. And then afterwards.
P45 - 03:08绘制星空后延展。
And you can also, for example, go and blur it a little bit as well. A little bit of motion there.
P45 - 03:15可以用模糊 运动模糊。
Only blend it a little distribution.
P45 - 03:20融合一些分布。
And then basically you move this around and you find a good composition.
P45 - 03:23移动后找到很好的合成。
Do you think is something that you're going for.
P45 - 03:30云淡风轻或乌云密布。
Like for example, if you go like this. Then just by adding like a small thing over here.
P45 - 03:46比如可以加入小物体。
Change the story completely.
P45 - 03:55就变成大山中有灯火。
So and very quickly, we we had a lot of versions.
P45 - 04:04就这样有多种版本。
Let me just so this is where we started from, let me open a new window.
P45 - 04:13打开新页面。
Get rid of this guys. first idea was like this. And then we had this idea as well. And now we have this guy.
P45 - 04:48对比下我们上面的思路。
So as you see, very quickly, I was able to generate bunch of different ideas just by using those blend modes.
P45 - 05:13用混合模式短时间创建不同场景。
Let's do more. Let's go back and For example, let's create a group and exclude why its rights. Let’s just paint on blacks.
P45 - 05:31这次去除白色，只绘制黑色。
So once again, we can use gradient tool. All we can do it from here. You can also start using a liquid cloud brushes and stuff like that.
P45 - 05:57也可以用液体云刷。
So it’s very straightforward. And once again, we're not using selection, even though it potentially can use selection, but having blending mode and just gives you much more chance to experiment.
P45 - 06:29不用选择用混合来实验。
If we just like this guy and drag the sliders. Don't change. The way your image looks just by sliding those.
P45 - 06:52调节图层属性，并刷子涂抹。
we've got five different versions. Very, very fast.
P45 - 07:04我们就这样得到五个版本。
and also I can show you another blending. Another thing that will help you look at a lot as a blending mode. If you create a new layer, double click on this guy.
P45 - 07:15新图层，双击图层属性。
And check off these transparency shapes layer.
P45 - 07:21核对下透明形状图层。
And I will show you why, for example, if you want to paint light right? if you want create a realistic light, you can just do it by hand, like this white. It doesn't look right. It it it is not what you would have in real life.
P45 - 07:36单纯的加入灯光看起来不真实。
That's why it looks very artificial as well. So there are two ways.
P45 - 07:42两种方案。
like, there is a good way to do it properly. you painted and also you shift right click on your mouse and you will a sign you brush mode to linear dodge.
P45 - 07:56右键 刷子模式 线性减淡。
It's the same one over here, And then when you paint, it will make it more and more kind of you just wanna play linear dodge. But still it's not very good. It's still not exactly how it should look like.
P45 - 08:12线性减淡看起来效果欠佳。
You can change your mode to linear dodge as well,
P45 - 08:17图层模式改成线性减淡。
but still it's not the way it should look like. Like, for example, if I drag it over here and we'll see what I mean, and once you can uncheck this box, the way you cut, you start having like a real light effect, which is very powerful because if you're doing some light effects.
P45 - 08:34不选择透明形状图层，才像真光。
Let’s say. If we’re doing something like this. The light house. So now you have got a proper light. Because you want to drag it out. Especially you can see it on transitions very well.
P45 - 09:57这束移动的光源是可以变形的。
Is the difference only. It just creates this hot spot that you would have, when you're having like a real light.
P45 - 10:17保留光源硬核部分模拟真光源。
So that's pretty much it about layer blending modes, in the next chapters, I will show you how to use blending modes over here. So this one was a quick introduction, but I will go through all of them and show you what those really do and how they work together.
5. Blending Modes---2-1.Darken
P46 - 00:00
So let's move on. I will take this one as a base from a previous chapter.
P46 - 00:06这是上一章拿来做背景的。
And I will show you how I use different blending modes to generate different ideas and compositions.
P46 - 00:12不同的思维和混合模式融合一起。
And just to move on in terms of idea exploration and design.
P46 - 00:16用某种探索设计的思维。
let me just make second copy of this layer and I will start with dodges. They're a bunch of different but I will just show you the ones that I use all the time for this kind of exploration, abstract sketches.
P46 - 00:33草图的探索。
So the first one will be darkened and the way dark and works because they're like, let me just offset this layer like, I'm using CTRL shift t, which is a short cut on my transform for flipping horizontal.
P46 - 00:51调节图层CST水平翻转。
So and then press CTRL t. And then i'll start moving things around.
P46 - 00:56CT可以移动图层。
And you see as I move them around dark and is a very good way to kind of build up your silhouette and introduce something new,
P46 - 01:04构建轮廓很好的方式。
because, for example, let's try multiply and you will see it just makes everything very dark, which I don't really like.
P46 - 01:13多重层让一切变得很黑。
So that's why I use dark. If I want to keep building up my silhouette and introducing different other ideas like for example,
P46 - 01:20构建剪影，引入其他的思维。
and as you can see, I'm not painting at this stage because I'm trying to use whatever I already had. And all I'm doing. I'm just kind of squashing and moving it around and saying, okay, this is something new. Maybe I can do something with that.
P46 - 01:37图层之间位置不断调整。
And then if I'm happy with this composition, then I start adding some new things. hold on. For example the guy walking over here.
P46 - 01:52比如我可以加入一些行人。
And you can see like how quickly from this, it was a different composition. Probably like this one is more likely looking from the ground level. So this is the guy and we are behind him. But this one is more likely on some we are on some kind of platform and still it's very like an ambiguous.
P46 - 02:28比如这是平台上的某个行人。
We don't see really the content of this frame. It could be anything. That's why I keep saying like keeping those really abstract in the beginning is very helpful.
P46 - 02:39保持最初的抽象是非常有效的。
Because this could be like a cleaver rocks. And this guy could be just a pilgrim walking.
P46 - 02:44比如这是峭壁岩石，这是朝圣者。
All this could be like a sulfide structure. And all you need to do is to put couple of indications. And then suddenly becomes something completely different.
P46 - 02:56比如加入硫化物构造变成不同山。
but We will not spend our time on details at the moment. But what we will do, we will just carry on.
P46 - 03:05目前不是花精力在细节的时候。
I will copy this one and copy merged it as an next layer, I will go to darken again.
P46 - 03:11融合成下一个图层。变成增黑。
And now I will transform it once again.
P46 - 03:15再次变形。
So we'll see how it goes. And if you see as I move around, it keeps me so many interesting kind of happy accidents that I wouldn’t actually paint. If I was doing it consciously, and I move things around.
P46 - 03:44比如下意识的做些事，移动来去。
this is not working. Maybe sometimes it's good to go and pick the first frame and darken the sky as well.
P46 - 03:55选择第一帧增黑。
I will start playing with this guy. that’s pretty good. Can also change the darkness of that one.
P46 - 04:35调节暗黑曲线的亮度。
And now you have a completely different story like this could be, let's say, where is he going? I don't know. You put another guy over here. So these guys going somewhere,
P46 - 05:03比如背景再放入两个人。
And as you can see, like this places, it’s very very abstract. So it could be content with the light is coming from. And we don't really want at this stage to bother with that. We want to stay with the abstract because I know at some point we will start kind of refining our things and everything will start to make sense.
P46 - 05:21比如在某一点会重新调整获意义。
So let's say this was some kind of entrance, so these guys are actually walking towards the entrance. But for now, let's keep it simple.
P46 - 05:34比如这是人走向入口。
So and then probably you've got another over there. And you can also use a little bit of soft brushing.
P46 - 05:57可以用一些软化刷子。
we started with this one very simple. And we keep adding. So let me just copy this one and go to darken as well.
P46 - 06:19复制后进入增黑模式。
And darken one more time. And you can see now we're getting more and more complicated. Introducing different things like this already could be some kind of sacrifice story.
P46 - 06:51我们引入更加复杂的图层。
and this one basically changes so much. All we need to do is to introduce, like for example, it could be shaped over there as well.
P46 - 07:13比如在这里涂形状。
And now it's became a certified setting. where you have these guys saying that guns and stuff like that.
P46 - 07:24比如这是拿武器的人。
And now, for example, this stage, you can also start using the trick with the lights. Here we come from transparency.
P46 - 07:44锃亮。透明。
You activate the linear. Maybe these guys are looking for something.
P46 - 08:10比如此人在寻找什么。
select and copy this one. Manual use repetition. And now your story slowly starts to shape and because it's so simple and the light is just, there's nothing definite you can start actually seeing what your lighting could look like.
P46 - 09:19很难开始描述锃亮灯光什么样的。
And for example, 30, like with the selection or once again with the blending mode. Like I showed you that, for example, let's exclude whites, Like this. See if it works. And it works perfectly.
P46 - 09:40选下层白色混合。锃亮效果好。
All you need to do is adjusted properly. So let's make a Mark. You see its being scaled. So we need to crunch it a little bit more.
P46 - 09:53稍微调弱一点。
So now when I paint it just affects those areas. So I can start introducing the effect of this light over here.
P46 - 10:08光打在下面的建筑和人的背影后。
Just a little bit of these guys as well. And you can like create a few layers with different levels.
P46 - 10:19不同层面创建不同图层。
Now I'm painting in this guy. there's something off the camera.
P46 - 11:14有些出了摄像头。
As well. And now let's just merged this guy. So you can see it really quickly. We were able to go from this. Then we have this one. Now you can copy this one as well. And let's see how it goes. Let's apply darken once again.
P46 - 11:42再用一次增黑。
Let’s see if we can make it even more complicated. You can start introducing layers, and you can keep going. And every time you introduced darken once again. you're getting additional Information on the frame becomes more and more complicated, which is very good because When you're painting those, the reason why dark works better than if you would like, let's say you want to introduce something.
P46 - 14:02增黑可以变得复杂。
you need to paying eye to flat or like really be consistent with the stuff you have around it. But when you use the darken and you are using an existing image, that's why it gives you some really cool kind of transitions that you wouldn't expect.
P46 - 14:23转化的形式未必是期待的。
If you were painting those, that's pretty much it about darken. And it's a very cool one. So if you want to build up your silhouette and every time you introduce dark and it’s basically a darken image.
P46 - 14:38构建轮廓和增黑模式。
So like, let's say you see this. We did that. we started with pretty bright image. But as we went, we introduce more and more layers. And basically, like if I keep going, it will get darker and darker. But also story wise. You might end up having something really cool.
P46 - 15:02创作出很多有趣的故事场景。
For example, over here, if I start deleting these guys. And basically I'm having gold is bit in the darkness, which is really cool. It works as a composition.
P46 - 15:19像是灯光里的一盏灯。
We only have all whole story happening here. So probably. You just need to bring back a little bit of this guy. So remember those movies studies that we made. Specifically asked you to see how they put lights on emphasizing.
P46 - 15:44这就是我们做的影视，突出灯光。
So this is pretty much what we will be doing. we will be starting with a very simple frame.
P46 - 15:49我们从最简单的框架开始。
And then we will build it up using dark and all other blending modes.
P46 - 15:55用黑色和混合模式构建。
because when you build up your picture like this, you have a full control of what story you want to concentrate on.
P46 - 16:04集中精力搞清楚自己做什么。
And then and we can just brightness it a little bit. I'm using dodge tools, dodge and burn.
P46 - 16:41我们用减淡和烧灼工具。
