Sampling an edited material to apply to another surface
- [Instructor] I would like for the brick in this fireplace to appear at a slightly smaller scale. So I'm going to edit it, and to do that I'm going to double click into this group until I have access to the face. I'm going to right click and choose texture, position and now I'm presented with these colored grips which will allow me to alter the texture in some way but what I'm looking for is this green grip which I'm going to click and drag to make it slightly smaller. Now I can right click and choose done. Now this face is resized, but I'd like to apply that to all of the other faces so that they appear at the same scale. The fastest way to do that is to sample it. So again, I need access to the face. Double click into the group until I can select the face. And all of the other faces. And I'm going to activate my paint bucket tool by hitting the letter B. And on a Mac, the materials browser will appear. But I don't need it at this point. What I do need to do is look in the lower left hand corner where it says select object to paint, and I can see that if I tap and hold down the command key, I can sample the material. So I'm going to hold down command, and if you're on a Windows machine it will be the alt key. And I'll see an eye dropper icon. So I'm going to click on the edited material to sample that and load it into my paint bucket. Now, I can click on the remaining faces and it will wrap the texture for me. So I'll continue to apply that and now all of the faces have the edited texture applied. So if you have edited a material and would like to apply it elsewhere with those changes applied, use the sample function to apply those changes.
