Assalamu Alaikum, welcome to GFXMentor, I'm your teacher Imran, and today is our 8th class. Today I'll keep it short, there won't be much details
(just kidding! 😛) Ahh but... Many interesting things and useful tools that are important to teach you. Right? So, c'mon let's start! So today is about Scale tool, Shear tool and Reshape tool. See here, tools that have small arrow attached, I already told you, it means they have more tools inside. You can also do this, at the very last there's another small arrow, click here. It'll give out the toolbar separately. So let's see what's the work of Scale tool. Like I showed last time that we can rotate objects with Selection tool, In the same way, we can scale our object too. But! You already get a Scale tool individually. Now naturally something is different about it, but that's very useful and interesting, let's see. Firstly, in this tool you get a pivot point just like in Rotate tool, but of course we won't rotate, rather scale here. if i take my scale tool and then i will do click & drag on any object then see it is becoming small and you can change this in any strange shape widely i mean you can do this small , big, long , i mean whatever you like you can do this but if you will press shift then it will work in constrained manner and here also you can do horizontal and vertical but here it will little bit in controlled way but if you will not press then it will work very different (fluid) or you can say uncontrolled way and you can also say this that it is working in organic way so here what is the work of pivot point here so see here pivot point is same as , i mean if i click here and i will make it smaller then see it is becoming smaller in this direction ok , i think this is not so difficult to understand because you all are now familiar with rotate tool and pivot point is very much familiar with you now and you know how to use this pivot point and it's work one more interesting thing is that like in rotate tool you can copy there by clicking with your pivot point while rotating here also you can copy it , see here i pressed both the keys alt and shift and see I when i will put this here and release it so see here a copy is generated here and if i will press control + D same as i did in rotate tool then it will make further copies of it and which is quite interesting, Right. Ok ahh and most important thing in scale tool is i don't use scale tool for this particular purpose instead i use this tool for some other work for example you have a rectangle here and you are selecting this two points from upward position by Direct selection you can do this on two paths, i mean here is a complete shape and you you can also do scaling on two anchor points of this shape so what is the use of scale here, you selected your scale tool and you want to simply spread this or you want to decrease this and remember one thing, i selected here two anchor points here, Ok if you will select this then this scale will be applied on the whole object so how we are selecting this ?
by direct selection ok and what if i mean how we will use this when we will have multiple objects i made a square here and i made some copies of this so alright and i selected all the upper anchor points of these all boxes and with my scale tool, i made them smaller and see this time our pivot point was in center so all are shrinking and coming towards center but if i put my pivot point here and i will make them smaller form this side then see you can also scale this in this way also and look very interested things is made so let me select only fill so you will get more clear about this and you will understand this more easily and i selected this all points with my direct selection tool and with my scale tool, i put my pivot point here and see i am making this small like this way and if you will not press shift then also it will move in an axis because we had restricted this with our pivot point and we had only selected our upper anchor points so only upper part will move here and if we go up and down then also no difference will appear here alright and in the same way if i will select this and i want to make them larger so we can easily make this larger see it is showing very beautiful perspective and we will read one point perspective, two point perspective,
we will learn them also but not now alright there is also one more work of scale tool remember we had made mango in our class 2 and i am making mango again and i want to explain a small part of it if i made a oval and and i want this upper anchor point i mean i want to increase it's width so you can do this work by your scale tool also which means if select one point which must have these tangent or curve handles right that will spread so i selected one point and with my scale tool, i am increasing it's breadth but we don't want to increase so much for our mango we just need to do a little bit broad and you people know what to do so i did just little bit like this from here and i did this from here and that's it ahh. It's our Black mango alright next tool which is coming in front of us is Shear tool Shear tool see in our direct selection you can select two points and you can drag it like this this thing is called shear but this is good for only one object if i have multiple objects for example we have many boxes like this and i am taking vertical copies also alright ok if i take whole design, see these all are separate boxes if i select all the upper parts with my direct selection and then i will drag them then see only upper part will move i want this whole object to be slanted all together i mean little bit sheared shape so here we can use our shear tool so select all of them and take your shear tool and see this, it is very easy to do you can shear all your objects together and here there is no details about this and i don't want to go in details and i just want to make this class small ok but in the end i will make a interesting thing for you peoples so you people will have something for practice i know you need something excited, i know my students love it when i make something for them so next our tool is reshape tool and reshape tool will give you some interesting result while working it will help you to reduce some steps but i don't use this but if you think it is useful for you then you must use this so let me tell how it's work but first of all i want to tell you something else related to this see if i add a point with my pen tool and then with direct selection i move this point here alright and then with my anchor point tool or you can say with my convert anchor point tool, i made a curve like this see here we had take 3 steps reshape tool will do this same work in 2 or 1 step but for this it is necessary to select this simple path by your direct selection tool see here only this path is selected and other no parts are selected i just selected this with my direct selection tool so select your reshape tool and drag it and see it is automatically adding an anchor point as well as it will give you a curve also so see in the same way we can do this from here and i don't need to select this anymore from here it will do all the things automatically so i am clicking here and moving this towards inward direction like this and i am also clicking here and moving this here see some interesting thing is made see in reshape tool just remember one thing that i mean make sure only one anchor point is selected otherwise while moving by dragging all the shape will move so see here it is added and if you select this and move then whole shape will move so simply do one thing aahh whenever you want to use reshape tool then please select one path by your direct selection and after that you can add curves in it which is very easy ,like this, like this if you want your points in very equal and proper manner then i will suggest you to do your work along with your guides it will be very easy for you and i said you earlier that i don't find this a controlled tool so that's why i use this very rarely so i use this tool very less but if you want to use this you can use it if you like something in this then you can use this so it was very necessary that what was the purpose of this tools so you can understand this why this tool is used this is one thing and now another thing is that as i said that we will make some interesting thing with our scale tool lets start , i said you that today's class is small but i will make some interesting things for you i will teach you something which will be very interesting for you guys alright ok ok i am making a simple rectangle here and lets add some gradient in it and now you people knows how to use gradient so let color it and i am using my work space which i made in my last class i am loading that and i want to add some color here let's see which color is this alright this is good and i am applying this color as a gradient here and i made a copy of it and this is something dark so i am adding a lighter tone here ok like this this is little bit cylindrical gradient and i am spreading this little bit alright i removed it's stroke and i am zooming in for you here i am making a box so you guys had already learned all the things which will be needed here so i am opening align panel from here alright and and i am doing one more thing is that i am taking one more copy little bit larger remember one thing whenever i am making this larger , i am doing this with pressing Alt key so it will increase from both sides proportionally alright and i want to add some shadows below them so do one thing that here i made a box and here i am not changing any color and i am telling you a new thing to you guys so open your transparency panel from windows alright and come below and i just open transparency and we will study this in details but not now just see that i made a simple box here and let me show you that this is simply a box made by my rectangle tool and by default same gradient is showing here which i used in making this pillars and i am making this smaller and i am doing simply that i am changing it's mode to multiply and if you want then you can down it's opacity from here so it will look like little darker here like this and you can also make it smaller ok alright and i want one more here make it smaller and i am copying this all things and i rotated like this and i put this here so do zoom in and fit this properly see my smart guides always guide me that i am doing this right or not sometimes i don't need to align anything because my smart guides are enough for this so my art baord is little bit smaller so i am making this larger or you can change your art board into landscape so i need little bit wide art board so i just took my art board tool see here some options are coming that if you want to then you can change your page sizes etc but i just want to change it's orientation now it is portrait mode so i just want to change this in landscape mode alright i made a column same like pillars ok i am making one more box above it ok this and i am taking a copy of this and putting it here ok and i am selecting all and making them group by pressing control + G see this is like i mean you can say that we have two pillars here so what we are going to do ? scale tool will help here it will give a most interesting result here let us take our scale tool and see our pebble point is locating in the center now there is no issue due to it so let it be on the center and i am making it small from here ok alright and you can do it by pressing shift also ok like this and i am also pressing alt so it will generate a copy with it ok and now if i will press control + D see it will give us a interesting result something very interesting thing is made here see a corridor thing this is very simple , there is no rocket science used here and and yes some little things i want to tell you that i made this and i also applied gradients here if you put it like this while making it small i mean here on the top position then remember one thing it will show on the upper position i mean top most and you have to do send to back but that's not a big problem i made some copies by pressing control + D this are so close to each other and looking nice but but if you see it carefully then you will notice that they all are overlapping on each other so do one thing and i selected all of them from here and i did send to back and let me tell you short cut of send to back Control + shift + [ ok i mean left square bracket it will do send to back directly but remember one thing that this is not applied on all of them now i have to deselect this so i will press shift and i will click left button of mouse and then again send to back again shift + click and send to back also again shift + click and send to back so you have to work little bit if you want to make some thing good don't think why we are doing so many works ok and i am doing send to back one by one control + shift + [ control + shift + [ control + shift + [ control + shift + [ control + shift + [ control + shift + [ control + shift + [ control + shift + [ control + shift + [ that's it see it is completed these are now properly arranged you can also add some background behind it if you want but i am not so interested to make this with a background i mean arrange this with background but you got the idea do some handwork and i am dam sure you will make some interesting thing with this one more bonus i want to give you let me delete this or no let me do one work let me take a new file and let me do some work on it so i take a copy of it and i will pasted it on a new file and i am taking landscape orientation from here i did ok and i pasted here that is control + C and then control + V alright now so i am removing all the colors from here so i want to tell you one thing and i made this flat black design and i don't have to do send to back here see this simple black color and you can take any color like grey or whatever you like just keep it flat and but see this multiply will overlap but no problem its ok in scale tool the pivot point will do some interesting thing actually it is same as vanishing point. and what is vanishing point ? in perspective when things go form one to point (near )to other point (far) and they meet each other at some place (point)or end at that point that is known as vanishing point here in this Technic this point will play an important role here this is playing the role of station point what is the station point ?
the point where you are watching this for example if am watching this by lying in the ground that is watching from this point and i am in this place then see when i will take its copy like this and i will do control +D then it will generate copy see it is visible to you such as you are watching this while lying on the ground and alright in the same way and i watching this hanging above , somehow suppose that i am hanging above and i am making this smaller like this and then control + D see you angle is changed now you are watching everything from above similarly if i am watching this left side from here then the whole corridor will be visible to us like this ok remember what i am doing . So let me tell you once more so may be i showed you at very speed way so let me tell you once more i am just taking scale tool and i am adjusting pivot point by clicking it here is my pivot point and with pressing alt + shift i am making this smaller and i released my mouse button and then control + D ok it is so simple is that alright then let us see our next tool very quickly next our tool is Free transform tool see you will think that as with my selection tool i am doing rotate , scale and increasing or decreasing size exactly your free transform tool will do the same thing ok but the interesting thing is that a separate panel opens in front of you with some more option that is extra things are given we will discuss this but let us see first what it will do you can do scale up and scale down from here and if you want to then you can rotate this also from these tool and you can do 2 or 3 things which will be applied by this tool bar when you will select this then it will open automatically itself alright so first one is constrained so if i will on this and resize it then see i am not pressing any shift here and if i do anything it will be constrained so what do you mean by constrained constrained means it's width and height proportion will be same as we do this with pressing shift exactly same thing will be applied here but without shift here a link is coming here and it is written constrained here so it's width and height will constrained in proportion so what we say constrained in urdu ? i don't know i don't know i don't remember it now so please check this in dictionary next you have see free transform is by default selected here see here is perspective distort and if i will take this and i will take this little bit below then see it is going up automatically from upward position also ok alright similarly if i will take it inside it will make it from up and down and if will apply this in width then it will change the width also ok alright this is perspective distort lastly you have free distort which mean you can easily i mean you can do this with taking your points i mean you can distort your object or shape like this so now i am taking only one object so it is not looking so interesting here let's see if we have some more objects then what will be the result of that so i am making some multiple boxes which i had made earlier also (in class 1) alight and i selected this now i am selecting my free transform tool now if i will come at my perspective by selecting this free transform tool so click and drag like this so it will look like this ok and if will click here and spread it like this or do like this then this is looking very interesting i mean it is made something like a floor it is showing very interesting perspective ok but if will take free distort then some different things will made by this remember one thing i am doing this different objects all together because i had selected them all together and with this tools you can spread them like this i hope this things will he helpful for you now you can use them creatively and you can make a whole room for showing me by this tool so please use them and it is very useful things so today i am ending this class till here i hope you all liked this and if you peoples didn't subscribed yet then please subscribe it and if you liked this video then please press the like button and please share it with your friends so i am 100 % sure that you all people are ready for Eid and in world wide many places are celebrating Eid so Eid Mubarak (Happy Eid) to them so i will come with my Eid special video and we will make some interesting things at that day So THANK YOU SO MUCH
