1 00:00:06,170 --> 00:00:11,920 All right to add more geometry to your object there are many different ways to do it. 2 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:19,520 Let's look at the first option which is called subdividing So hitting tab to go into edit mode or by 3 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,480 going down here and switching it from object mode to edit mode. 4 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:29,930 Let's select everything or it should already be selected but if it's not go ahead and hit a and have 5 00:00:29,930 --> 00:00:31,890 everything selected. 6 00:00:31,890 --> 00:00:37,640 Now as I said before if we look up here we have vertices we have eight of them. 7 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:43,050 So how do we add more geometry or more vertices to play around with. 8 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:48,390 Well one way to do that is by subdivision or subdividing our mesh. 9 00:00:48,410 --> 00:00:54,850 If we hit w on our keyboard you can see the first option in the specials menu is subdivided. 10 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,890 Let's go ahead and slide that. 11 00:00:58,920 --> 00:00:59,610 That's awesome. 12 00:00:59,610 --> 00:01:06,280 So you can see that now subdivided or cut up our mash into many different parts. 13 00:01:06,420 --> 00:01:12,200 And we have a lot more vertices and faces and geometry to work with. 14 00:01:12,450 --> 00:01:14,740 Pretty awesome. 15 00:01:14,790 --> 00:01:20,180 Now let's go ahead and select everything again and hit w Subud or before we do that. 16 00:01:20,190 --> 00:01:21,410 Look at the top. 17 00:01:21,540 --> 00:01:25,080 We have 26 vertices now instead of eight. 18 00:01:25,090 --> 00:01:29,270 It's an outlet subdivided again subdivided. 19 00:01:29,550 --> 00:01:34,660 And now we have even more vertices we have ninety eight vertices on our mesh. 20 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,270 Pretty awesome. 21 00:01:36,450 --> 00:01:41,750 Now we can do a lot more with this if we hit a control tab go into face select mode. 22 00:01:41,790 --> 00:01:48,570 We could actually select multiple faces by shift right clicking you know bring them out and start to 23 00:01:48,570 --> 00:01:56,720 get some interesting results with our cube here and actually start to deform it and change it. 24 00:01:56,730 --> 00:01:58,290 So pretty awesome. 25 00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:04,720 Now we are much more flow of how to do it and how to manipulate it. 26 00:02:04,740 --> 00:02:08,520 Now let's go back into edit mode by hitting tab. 27 00:02:09,020 --> 00:02:11,760 Let's hit Control Z to undo all of that. 28 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:21,920 Under the subdivision and I will show you the way that you can get more precision on the subdividing. 29 00:02:22,220 --> 00:02:30,710 If we hit t to open up our tool shelf and then hit w subdivide as soon as you do that you will see a 30 00:02:30,710 --> 00:02:38,580 subdivision menue down here and you could increase the number of cuts right here to up to 10. 31 00:02:39,350 --> 00:02:42,380 So you could actually choose the number of cuts you want here. 32 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:50,300 And once you're at 10 if you want even more than that then all you have to do is go into object mode 33 00:02:50,330 --> 00:02:56,060 by hitting tab go back into edit mode and hit w subdivide it once again. 34 00:02:56,060 --> 00:02:58,820 And you could add another 10 in there. 35 00:02:58,820 --> 00:03:02,670 Now you can see that this is becoming a very very dense. 36 00:03:03,050 --> 00:03:12,410 And one thing to always keep in mind is that when you do modeling you want the least amount of geometry 37 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:21,300 so the least amount of faces vertices and edges as possible to get the result that you want. 38 00:03:21,350 --> 00:03:24,390 All right because let's look at this here. 39 00:03:24,410 --> 00:03:29,500 This has 8 I can't even see the number. 40 00:03:29,590 --> 00:03:41,700 It has been around 8 or 7000 has 87000 vertices it says or something of that regard as a huge amount 41 00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:44,050 of vertices which is ridiculous. 42 00:03:44,050 --> 00:03:49,590 I've the glare on my screen so it's a little tough to see but there is a ton of vertices. 43 00:03:49,590 --> 00:03:55,370 However if we if all we want is a cube we would not need to have all these verses. 44 00:03:55,380 --> 00:04:00,470 If I had to have to go into object mode you can see my cube looks like a cube. 45 00:04:01,050 --> 00:04:03,980 Now why would I need all these vertices. 46 00:04:03,990 --> 00:04:11,820 Because my cube looked like a cube when I only had eight vertices so you would not need all of these 47 00:04:11,850 --> 00:04:17,690 because a cube only needs eight Virdi season to look like a cube. 48 00:04:17,940 --> 00:04:24,210 So keep in mind with every single measure you do whether it's human or dog or animal or tree rock whatever 49 00:04:24,570 --> 00:04:31,550 you want to use the least amount of faces vertices and edges to get the desired result that you want. 50 00:04:32,250 --> 00:04:39,240 Let's go ahead and take Control-C to undo the subdivision and let's look at one more way of subdividing 51 00:04:39,300 --> 00:04:40,710 which is pretty cool. 52 00:04:40,710 --> 00:04:43,200 And that's called subdividing smooth. 53 00:04:43,290 --> 00:04:48,280 It will basically subdivide it and make it smooth at the same time. 54 00:04:48,450 --> 00:04:55,820 So if I hit w subdivides smooth you can see that subdivides it and smooth it out. 55 00:04:55,890 --> 00:05:01,770 And again you get this menu over here so you can increase the number of cuts right here and also increase 56 00:05:01,770 --> 00:05:04,560 the number the amount of smoothness here. 57 00:05:05,450 --> 00:05:09,640 So right now it looks like a Cuba 0 and that one it looks like a sphere. 58 00:05:09,860 --> 00:05:17,030 So as you can see it's subdivided and smooth it out because believe it or not this cube right here we 59 00:05:17,030 --> 00:05:22,040 could actually make it look like a sphere by grabbing all the vertices one by one and moving them out 60 00:05:22,580 --> 00:05:28,340 but by smoothing it out it actually works a lot better and it can look like a sphere. 61 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,520 So as I was saying in the previous video. 62 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:38,870 Every shape that you have usually is composite of faces which are made up of four vertices. 63 00:05:39,140 --> 00:05:47,360 You can see that even though this is a sphere it has four fertile seed faces so all the faces are square 64 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,820 looking even though it's a sphere. 65 00:05:49,820 --> 00:05:56,660 So that's why I was saying even for humans or for heads or whatever you're going to have vases that 66 00:05:56,660 --> 00:06:02,840 compose of it and you want them to usually be four vertices because that's what works best for animation 67 00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:03,840 or anything else. 68 00:06:04,010 --> 00:06:09,030 Even this one right here is four vertices and it's a square. 69 00:06:09,110 --> 00:06:11,160 So that's subdividing smooth. 70 00:06:11,210 --> 00:06:20,920 And that is how you add extra geometry or that's one of the ways to add extra geometry to your mesh. 71 00:06:21,030 --> 00:06:24,880 And here's our little poem for the end of this video. 72 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:32,500 You might say that I cannot do something but you obviously don't know me for I can do anything. 73 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,450 So just take a giant step back. 74 00:06:34,530 --> 00:06:39,140 I don't want you having a heart attack as you watch me accomplish this task. 75 00:06:39,250 --> 00:06:40,410 And what's your opinion. 76 00:06:40,410 --> 00:06:41,820 I never did ask. 77 00:06:41,940 --> 00:06:45,800 And even though you once told me it couldn't be accomplished I just laugh. 78 00:06:45,810 --> 00:06:48,620 Look back and say unfinished. 79 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:49,330 All right. 80 00:06:49,330 --> 00:06:51,070 Hope you guys enjoy that one. 81 00:06:51,070 --> 00:06:52,980 I'll see you in the next video. 82 00:06:52,980 --> 00:06:54,510 Appreciate you all. 83 00:06:54,510 --> 00:06:55,540 I'll see you there.
