1 00:00:05,860 --> 00:00:06,240 All right. 2 00:00:06,250 --> 00:00:16,920 So now what we're going to do is we're going to hit B box select and bring all of this up and just scale 3 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:21,860 it up without this one right here. 4 00:00:22,780 --> 00:00:32,480 So it's de-select diesel like the ring right there that goes around the Hill or the handle of the sword. 5 00:00:33,350 --> 00:00:34,550 And this one as well. 6 00:00:34,540 --> 00:00:37,800 And let's just scale this one up a bit. 7 00:00:39,370 --> 00:00:44,950 And we could now grab it bring it out bring this out 8 00:00:48,180 --> 00:00:49,700 like so. 9 00:00:49,710 --> 00:00:49,990 All right. 10 00:00:50,010 --> 00:00:50,490 Awesome. 11 00:00:50,490 --> 00:00:53,590 So that is the base of the sword. 12 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,480 Now let's move on to the blade of the sword. 13 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:02,100 So the fun part and again there are many ways to do things in modeling. 14 00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:06,720 There are many different techniques and tools that you can use. 15 00:01:06,780 --> 00:01:13,170 But again it's there's different ways you can do the ones that work for you as long as the topology 16 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:21,150 and the way it looks is how it needs to look and as long as the mesh is clean and it's good topology 17 00:01:21,150 --> 00:01:28,080 topology meaning the flow of the vertices or the faces so you want it can see right here we have a nice 18 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,930 flow we have edge loops and rings. 19 00:01:30,930 --> 00:01:38,340 If I were to for example you want to do this but add in some things here and here that does not look 20 00:01:38,340 --> 00:01:44,310 smooth anymore it's kind of all over the place and we might need to add detail but again you want to 21 00:01:44,310 --> 00:01:46,790 keep it flowing smoothly. 22 00:01:46,790 --> 00:01:48,980 You can see we have face loops here. 23 00:01:49,140 --> 00:01:51,190 Everything is easy to select. 24 00:01:51,210 --> 00:01:52,760 It's flowing nicely. 25 00:01:52,830 --> 00:01:57,870 So you always want that in your match you want a flow to it you don't want it to be all over the place 26 00:01:57,870 --> 00:02:01,610 with vertices everywhere and no flow to it. 27 00:02:01,620 --> 00:02:05,090 All right let's go ahead and model the blade portion of it. 28 00:02:05,250 --> 00:02:10,440 So for the blade Let's go ahead and add in a new object so shift day. 29 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:19,000 We're going to add in a mesh cube scaling it down to the size of our blade. 30 00:02:19,230 --> 00:02:25,220 And now hitting tab to go into Edit Mode take control to have to go in the vertex select mode. 31 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:32,870 Beat the box select all this and let's just bring it all the way up. 32 00:02:33,010 --> 00:02:36,440 And now let's hit Eido extrude Z. 33 00:02:38,310 --> 00:02:43,680 Bring it up and scale it down. 34 00:02:43,690 --> 00:02:44,040 All right. 35 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:44,530 Awesome. 36 00:02:44,530 --> 00:02:46,720 So that was very fast for the blade. 37 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:53,240 Now let's take a look at it in the side view and you can see that it's way too thick so let's heads 38 00:02:53,340 --> 00:02:56,850 as why to scale on the y axis. 39 00:02:58,450 --> 00:03:07,800 Down to so and now let's also add in a couple of bevel type effects on it because it's very blocky right 40 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,270 now in order to do that. 41 00:03:10,290 --> 00:03:19,060 Let's go ahead and hit control our to add an edge loop all around here so you can see there's an edge 42 00:03:19,060 --> 00:03:27,630 loop all around there and let's hit s to scale it and then X to scale it along the x axis. 43 00:03:29,510 --> 00:03:38,120 So what that will do is it will add a kind of Bevil effect on the sword and on the blade so you can 44 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:43,370 see what's happening there on going exaggerated just so you could see exactly what is happening. 45 00:03:43,390 --> 00:03:46,740 It's now bevelled and it looks pretty cool. 46 00:03:47,030 --> 00:03:50,460 Let's add another bevel type thing on top as well. 47 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:57,770 So right here some swords have kind of a raised towards the center so let's hit control tower control 48 00:03:57,790 --> 00:04:07,910 our Add in a loop cut here and with that selected let's de-select these top ones here by hitting B to 49 00:04:07,910 --> 00:04:15,580 boxlike of left clicking and dragging which is to select Let's hit B and then middle click and drag 50 00:04:15,730 --> 00:04:17,740 which will de-select. 51 00:04:17,740 --> 00:04:24,070 Now let's hit s and Y and scale that up just a little bit. 52 00:04:24,420 --> 00:04:28,210 Or actually I'm going to scale it in because I like that effect better. 53 00:04:29,220 --> 00:04:31,750 I'm going to scale it in words. 54 00:04:32,820 --> 00:04:37,110 Likes so not too much. 55 00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:37,670 There we go. 56 00:04:37,710 --> 00:04:42,590 So he has a nice you know indentation to the blade. 57 00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:43,150 All right. 58 00:04:43,170 --> 00:04:46,220 Awesome So that's looking really really cool. 59 00:04:46,290 --> 00:04:49,920 And that is the basis of our sword. 60 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:55,690 So now let's go ahead and take a look at our reference image. 61 00:04:55,710 --> 00:04:56,550 Let me move this. 62 00:04:56,550 --> 00:04:57,840 I can see it quickly. 63 00:04:58,050 --> 00:05:07,880 The blade looks a little bit fat on the x axis here so I'm going to hit S X scale it way down. 64 00:05:09,540 --> 00:05:16,240 Too So unless you want some kind of fantasy sort you know those crazy swords that have huge blades on 65 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:16,780 them. 66 00:05:17,050 --> 00:05:19,600 So that is the basics of our sword. 67 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:26,270 Now let's let's take a look at a couple of other things that we could do further on in the next tutorial. 68 00:05:26,380 --> 00:05:30,410 Before I do that I want to do something. 69 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,090 Let me see. 70 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,310 Now let's take a look at some further techniques that we could use. 71 00:05:38,340 --> 00:05:46,080 And in in in relation with our modeling that we just did here for a sword but it's looking pretty cool. 72 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,780 If we had five to go into perspective mode you can see our sword right here. 73 00:05:50,970 --> 00:05:55,800 And it looks pretty legit and awesome if I do say so myself. 74 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:03,330 One more thing I'd love to do is to Bevil this out and I'm actually going to show you how we can smooth 75 00:06:03,390 --> 00:06:09,720 out our object a little bit more in the next tutorial So let's head on over there and let's stop talking 76 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,220 about it and let's do it. 77 00:06:11,220 --> 00:06:16,070 So save your project and I'll see you in the next one. 78 00:06:16,070 --> 00:06:18,960 All right. 79 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:24,030 And nothing that goes more perfectly with Blender than fishing. 80 00:06:24,350 --> 00:06:28,910 All right much like a fisherman at sea who cast that was line. 81 00:06:29,050 --> 00:06:32,790 You're constantly casting out your thoughts and energy to the universe. 82 00:06:32,940 --> 00:06:37,310 Whatever thoughts you cast out will reel in the corresponding results in your life. 83 00:06:37,500 --> 00:06:41,230 So what are your dominating thoughts that you're casting out. 84 00:06:41,490 --> 00:06:45,180 Well all one has to do is look at one's results. 85 00:06:45,180 --> 00:06:50,700 All right ladies and gentlemen I don't know if you believe in the law of attraction but it is pretty 86 00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:53,820 powerful so be aware of your thoughts. 87 00:06:53,820 --> 00:06:55,610 I'll see you in the future Tauriel. 88 00:06:55,620 --> 00:06:56,810 You guys rock. 89 00:06:56,820 --> 00:06:57,850 Very well done. 90 00:06:57,870 --> 00:06:58,320 Check out.
