1 00:00:05,750 --> 00:00:09,720 All right now let's take a look at actually modeling our sort. 2 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,980 So let's go ahead and start with this cube. 3 00:00:13,170 --> 00:00:17,670 And for the sword I'm going to be modeling the big portions of it we're not going to go and add all 4 00:00:17,670 --> 00:00:21,050 the tiny little detail that is going to be basic modeling. 5 00:00:21,060 --> 00:00:25,260 And so that we get a flow and a feel for how modeling works. 6 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,880 All right let's hit tab to go into edit mode. 7 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,710 And I'm also going to hit and to close both of those windows. 8 00:00:32,010 --> 00:00:34,020 And we have our mere modifier on a cube. 9 00:00:34,050 --> 00:00:36,790 We're good to go now in edit mode. 10 00:00:37,900 --> 00:00:43,020 Go ahead and make sure you're in wireframe mode as well and hit the box select. 11 00:00:43,060 --> 00:00:45,190 And let's like all of these vertices. 12 00:00:45,220 --> 00:00:50,950 The reason we want to make sure we're in wireframe mode is because you can see that our cube has four 13 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,370 vertices right here that have been selected. 14 00:00:53,590 --> 00:01:02,680 But if I hit one to go back into front view if I go to solid mode and hit B to box select you can see 15 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,300 that I will only select the front vertices and not the back ones. 16 00:01:06,370 --> 00:01:11,530 So wireframe mode allows for you to select through the Masch and select everything that's behind it 17 00:01:11,530 --> 00:01:12,610 as well. 18 00:01:12,610 --> 00:01:14,770 Another thing is we're in orthographic view. 19 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,290 So 5 on the numpad of course. 20 00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:20,770 And it allows for you to see your image as well. 21 00:01:20,770 --> 00:01:27,340 So let's go ahead and grab this hit as to scale Z to scale it down on the z axis and let me grab all 22 00:01:27,340 --> 00:01:34,580 of them once again of course as I explain that I only have two that are grabbed and let's hit B. 23 00:01:36,250 --> 00:01:39,340 Bring this up a bit too so. 24 00:01:39,820 --> 00:01:40,210 All right. 25 00:01:40,210 --> 00:01:41,710 Box select once again. 26 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:42,740 Eido extrude. 27 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:50,220 Let's bring it all the way out to here and hit ass on the keyboard to scale it down. 28 00:01:51,140 --> 00:01:55,510 Too about so. 29 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:56,020 All right. 30 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,670 Now let's tumble around see how it's looking over here. 31 00:01:59,670 --> 00:02:06,780 So what I want to do is I want this to be thinner over here as it goes out so I'm going to add in a 32 00:02:06,810 --> 00:02:15,570 loop cuts right here and leave it in the center and hit s and y to scale on the y axis. 33 00:02:17,420 --> 00:02:26,370 And also going to add another one here control our Add in the loop cuts and hit s and Y and scale it 34 00:02:26,410 --> 00:02:28,100 along the y axis. 35 00:02:29,740 --> 00:02:32,720 All right back into front view heading one on the numpad. 36 00:02:32,850 --> 00:02:36,520 Let's go ahead and add this little nub that's over here. 37 00:02:36,550 --> 00:02:38,340 If we can call it that. 38 00:02:38,370 --> 00:02:41,690 So box select B left click and drag. 39 00:02:41,970 --> 00:02:50,310 Let's hit it to extrude and right click to leave it in the center as to scale it up a little bit and 40 00:02:50,310 --> 00:02:53,460 then bring it out along the x axis. 41 00:02:55,500 --> 00:02:58,790 Scale up a little bit more and now either extrude once again. 42 00:03:00,250 --> 00:03:09,670 Scale it up to about so and then let's hit either extrude once more scale it down. 43 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,520 And one last time Eido extrude. 44 00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:15,770 Scale it down like so. 45 00:03:15,770 --> 00:03:21,300 All right so now we have that low nub portion of the model. 46 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:27,180 And what we can do if we want to rounded out a little bit more actually we'll do it. 47 00:03:27,180 --> 00:03:28,880 We're going to block it off first. 48 00:03:28,890 --> 00:03:34,300 It's usually better to block it off and then add more detail and rounded out more later. 49 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,500 So make sure you save your scene as well. 50 00:03:36,500 --> 00:03:44,310 I mean to hit Control s save my scene and let's move on to the handle of the sword. 51 00:03:44,860 --> 00:03:47,350 Why going to go ahead and select these verses right here. 52 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:54,240 Box select bring them down by hitting G and Z 53 00:03:57,310 --> 00:04:01,710 and now for the handle of the object or the handle of the sword. 54 00:04:01,930 --> 00:04:09,050 I'm going to go ahead and hit shift day and mash and I'm going to add in a circle. 55 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:14,070 Now our circle going to hit TAB T key and bring the vertices. 56 00:04:14,310 --> 00:04:18,870 I'm going to bring them all the way down to six. 57 00:04:18,870 --> 00:04:23,490 Now the reason for that being is that we're going to be using something else after that will make it 58 00:04:23,490 --> 00:04:28,860 less blocky and you'll see it's another really awesome modifier that we use all the time. 59 00:04:28,860 --> 00:04:31,240 It is really cool and very useful. 60 00:04:32,280 --> 00:04:39,650 Go ahead and scale this down hit G Z bring it down to about here. 61 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:48,530 And make it the size of the handle now hitting tab to go into edit mode. 62 00:04:48,950 --> 00:04:56,510 Let's hit it to extrude Z to bring it down on the Z-axis and bring it to about here. 63 00:04:56,510 --> 00:05:01,210 Now you can see that obviously this drawing or this reference image is someone who drew it. 64 00:05:01,220 --> 00:05:05,180 So it's not all exactly proportional. 65 00:05:05,210 --> 00:05:11,510 The drawing and saw exact You can see right here this one lines up correctly and perfectly but over 66 00:05:11,510 --> 00:05:13,170 here it's a little bit off. 67 00:05:13,430 --> 00:05:20,130 And we know that this object is perfectly mirrored because of our mirror modifier. 68 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:27,700 But when they drew the image they drew it a little bit off this off the off the center. 69 00:05:27,700 --> 00:05:29,820 And it's a little bit higher than this one. 70 00:05:30,010 --> 00:05:34,750 So again keep that in mind as this is a drawing that someone made. 71 00:05:34,990 --> 00:05:44,500 Now to add this little this little you know this nub type of detail that we have here. 72 00:05:44,690 --> 00:05:49,130 Let's go ahead and hit you to extrude. 73 00:05:49,170 --> 00:05:50,510 I don't believe I hit you. 74 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:55,730 I think I hit as easy to extrude as to scale it up. 75 00:05:55,970 --> 00:05:58,050 And let's bring it down a little bit. 76 00:06:00,170 --> 00:06:08,980 And then either extrude Z to bring it down on the Z-axis and then eat it one more time scale it down. 77 00:06:10,050 --> 00:06:13,900 A little bit and bring it down just a tad. 78 00:06:14,780 --> 00:06:15,100 All right. 79 00:06:15,110 --> 00:06:17,730 Now let's hit Eido extrude one more time. 80 00:06:17,770 --> 00:06:24,830 Z bring it down and once again when you're modeling things it's always best to block it out and then 81 00:06:24,860 --> 00:06:30,860 add in more detail because if you add in too much detail too fast it might be hard to go back and you're 82 00:06:30,860 --> 00:06:34,580 gonna have vertices and things all over the place. 83 00:06:34,610 --> 00:06:39,170 It's the same thing with drawing you know when you draw you you block it out you draw the basic shape 84 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:46,010 and then you fill it out and add more and more detail and then the smaller details are added in last. 85 00:06:46,010 --> 00:06:47,830 Now right here we're going to do the same thing. 86 00:06:48,010 --> 00:06:49,870 Easy to extrude. 87 00:06:50,030 --> 00:06:57,790 Bring it down or bring it down a tiny bit and scale it up and extrude again. 88 00:06:57,820 --> 00:06:58,510 Z. 89 00:06:59,340 --> 00:07:04,300 Bring down the Z-axis hitting each one more time. 90 00:07:04,410 --> 00:07:12,780 If you don't know already Schelling hit them with the esky and bringing it down just just let me know 91 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,340 if you guys understand that e is to extrude. 92 00:07:17,060 --> 00:07:19,160 All right either extreme one more time. 93 00:07:19,590 --> 00:07:24,580 Let's bring it down and just repeat the same process each extrude. 94 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:30,240 Scale it up bring it down a tiny bit eat extra. 95 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,790 One more time Eido extrude once more. 96 00:07:34,790 --> 00:07:36,230 Scale it down. 97 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,360 That's going to be the word of the day. 98 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,950 Extrude word of the day for Blender. 99 00:07:42,950 --> 00:07:43,250 All right. 100 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,220 Extrude it one last time and hopefully we'll be done with that word. 101 00:07:47,330 --> 00:07:53,600 Bring it all the way down to the base or to this spherical shape over here. 102 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:53,870 All right. 103 00:07:53,870 --> 00:07:54,250 Awesome. 104 00:07:54,250 --> 00:07:58,540 So now we have the handle for our sword. 105 00:07:58,610 --> 00:07:59,840 Pretty cool. 106 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,600 Now let's go ahead and add in this portion right here. 107 00:08:04,610 --> 00:08:07,140 The spherical shape down here. 108 00:08:07,140 --> 00:08:09,320 Nor do in order to do that. 109 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,110 Scuse me we're going to be adding. 110 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:18,950 I actually do want to connect it together as it will look better I believe. 111 00:08:18,950 --> 00:08:22,360 So I'm going to go ahead and write here. 112 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:27,240 We can see that we have eight vertices. 113 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,160 Try to see my screen. 114 00:08:29,170 --> 00:08:30,490 Actually we have six. 115 00:08:30,490 --> 00:08:32,350 Scuse me we have six vertices. 116 00:08:32,530 --> 00:08:35,430 So what we're going to do is in edit mode. 117 00:08:35,620 --> 00:08:41,370 Let's go ahead and hit shift day and we're going to add in a U-V sphere. 118 00:08:41,560 --> 00:08:47,470 Now if you add in an object and when you're an object mode it will add in a separate object. 119 00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:54,370 But if you're an edit mode of another object and you hit shift day and add in let's say a U-V sphere 120 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:56,740 you will see that. 121 00:08:56,830 --> 00:09:05,920 Now if I hit the tiki first we want to make sure to put this segments to six and the rings to six as 122 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,740 well. 123 00:09:07,750 --> 00:09:15,900 Now if I scale it way down you will see that if I had tabbed to go into object mode that these two are 124 00:09:15,900 --> 00:09:17,070 one object. 125 00:09:17,070 --> 00:09:24,180 So when you add an object in edit mode of another object it will actually become a part of that same 126 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:25,350 object. 127 00:09:25,410 --> 00:09:26,130 Pretty cool. 128 00:09:27,270 --> 00:09:35,820 Now what I'm going to do is select the center point right here of the sphere hit X and delete the vertices. 129 00:09:35,820 --> 00:09:40,300 Now what I want to do is connect this and this together. 130 00:09:40,470 --> 00:09:44,610 The way we're going to do that is with the snapping tool. 131 00:09:44,610 --> 00:09:48,450 So if you remember correctly we have our snapping tool here. 132 00:09:48,630 --> 00:09:52,110 And let's set it to vertex. 133 00:09:52,260 --> 00:10:01,860 Let's hit Allt right click to select the loop of our sphere down here and if we hit S and then control 134 00:10:02,310 --> 00:10:02,940 two 135 00:10:05,340 --> 00:10:15,520 to snap it you can see that it will it will scale it to about the size of our of our circle over here 136 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:16,890 for our handle. 137 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,880 Now it didn't do exactly what I wanted to wanted it to do. 138 00:10:20,890 --> 00:10:25,870 So what we're going to do is go ahead and scale it down just a little bit so it lines up better. 139 00:10:27,170 --> 00:10:34,220 And now all we have to do is line up the vertices so that they're actually lined up together because 140 00:10:34,220 --> 00:10:39,740 right now you can see that our sphere is rotated in different way than our handle. 141 00:10:39,740 --> 00:10:45,440 So let's actually undo the snapping and it might actually work better if we have it rotated in the same 142 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:46,740 direction for us. 143 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:53,690 Let's go ahead and hit 7 on the numpad to go into top view and hitting control L to select our whole 144 00:10:53,690 --> 00:10:54,450 sphere. 145 00:10:54,710 --> 00:11:04,470 Let's go ahead and rotate it so that this these are aligned all together so we could even grab it with 146 00:11:04,470 --> 00:11:13,250 the GQ and aligned them so that these vertices are all aligned together and it's nice and symmetrical. 147 00:11:13,450 --> 00:11:16,510 Now hitting one to go into front view. 148 00:11:16,930 --> 00:11:18,550 Let's go ahead and try that one more time. 149 00:11:18,550 --> 00:11:27,520 All right click so as to scale and control to snap it now it will align much better to the mesh and 150 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:28,660 all we have to do now. 151 00:11:28,750 --> 00:11:31,820 Now that's scaled to the correct size Let's hit G. 152 00:11:32,590 --> 00:11:37,900 And Z and hold control to snap it up to these vertices right here. 153 00:11:39,210 --> 00:11:44,610 Let's go ahead and you can see that right here you might neer do a little bit of manual manipulation 154 00:11:44,610 --> 00:11:51,660 by hitting g to grab it and then control to snap it on to this vertex back here. 155 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,810 And this one as well. 156 00:11:55,260 --> 00:11:57,170 And this one as well for that matter. 157 00:11:57,180 --> 00:11:58,940 So it's all about. 158 00:11:59,310 --> 00:12:03,400 And again yours might have aligned perfectly. 159 00:12:03,410 --> 00:12:08,470 But again sometimes they don't so you might have to go in there manually and do it. 160 00:12:08,630 --> 00:12:15,890 Let's go ahead and hit a disliked everything w remove doubles and it says it removed four vertices so 161 00:12:15,890 --> 00:12:17,050 there still are two. 162 00:12:17,100 --> 00:12:18,020 Are not removed. 163 00:12:18,020 --> 00:12:19,160 You can see this one. 164 00:12:19,340 --> 00:12:23,140 So g control to snap it to that vertex. 165 00:12:23,300 --> 00:12:24,960 And this one G. 166 00:12:25,370 --> 00:12:32,540 And they hold control to snap it to this vertex to select everything w removed doubles. 167 00:12:32,540 --> 00:12:32,810 All right. 168 00:12:32,810 --> 00:12:34,610 Now we have all of them removed. 169 00:12:34,610 --> 00:12:36,600 Let's go ahead and hit one. 170 00:12:36,690 --> 00:12:38,060 Go into front view. 171 00:12:38,900 --> 00:12:41,550 Let's hit Z to go into wireframe. 172 00:12:41,690 --> 00:12:47,400 And now what I want to do is basically I want to scale this up a little bit. 173 00:12:50,510 --> 00:12:58,230 And now I want to add in the loop cut right here by control our left clicking scaling it down. 174 00:12:59,380 --> 00:13:07,080 And then hitting control are all right clicking this and bringing this down over this part of the mesh. 175 00:13:07,260 --> 00:13:12,550 So that kind of looks like so. 176 00:13:12,580 --> 00:13:14,910 All right so that's the base of the sword. 177 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:24,270 Now let's actually head to box select select all this and I want to hit s z to scale it along the z 178 00:13:24,270 --> 00:13:25,050 axis. 179 00:13:25,150 --> 00:13:28,510 Make it a little bit more round. 180 00:13:28,540 --> 00:13:33,230 And also as to scale it up and bring it down. 181 00:13:33,390 --> 00:13:40,890 And of course you can see again the reference image is a little bit off to the left and that is because 182 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:48,780 either if we hit n and we go down here and we change our rotation a little bit either because we've 183 00:13:48,780 --> 00:13:51,810 rotated it. 184 00:13:52,030 --> 00:13:53,530 And there you go. 185 00:13:53,530 --> 00:13:57,600 So actually the image is actually quite good. 186 00:13:57,610 --> 00:14:03,060 The rotation was a little bit off and hence the reason that the reference point was off. 187 00:14:03,310 --> 00:14:08,410 But even though we have lined it up a little bit more you could still see some of it is still off. 188 00:14:08,530 --> 00:14:09,550 So keep that in mind.
