1 00:00:06,180 --> 00:00:07,470 All right ladies and gentlemen. 2 00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:13,100 Now on to the part where we're going to actually attach our character onto our armature. 3 00:00:13,260 --> 00:00:20,310 Now before we do a couple tweaks I want to make and the first being that I want to bring these fingers 4 00:00:20,310 --> 00:00:24,950 a little bit closer to one another because I think there's too much spacing in between. 5 00:00:25,140 --> 00:00:28,870 So hitting tab to go into edit mode. 6 00:00:29,070 --> 00:00:38,670 Let's go to wireframe and see to get the crosshair out and or the circle the brush tool out and select 7 00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:40,360 all those vertices. 8 00:00:40,980 --> 00:00:48,570 And I'd go down here turn on Proportional editing hitting one to go from view and then for twice to 9 00:00:48,570 --> 00:00:49,790 rotate the view. 10 00:00:50,040 --> 00:01:02,710 Let's hit r to rotate and then g to grab it and move it closer to the other finger. 11 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,170 And we still want it rotated out a little bit. 12 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:09,660 All right. 13 00:01:09,660 --> 00:01:11,300 Now selecting the armature. 14 00:01:11,370 --> 00:01:18,760 I'm just going to like these two bring em over and position them back there. 15 00:01:18,930 --> 00:01:21,440 Control seven to go into the bottom view. 16 00:01:21,450 --> 00:01:28,410 I'm also going to bring these down a bit and then seven to go on top view making sure that these ones 17 00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:33,100 are nice and aligned as well. 18 00:01:37,980 --> 00:01:38,400 All right. 19 00:01:38,430 --> 00:01:43,470 And then with the thumb what I want to do is just grab this one here and just bring it down just a tiny 20 00:01:43,470 --> 00:01:51,240 bit because I want this meet or this muscle part of the thumb to move when I'm rotating it. 21 00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:52,400 All right cool. 22 00:01:52,410 --> 00:01:55,850 Now couple last things before we get into the good part. 23 00:01:56,100 --> 00:02:02,000 If I hit tab to go in and out of object or edit and pose mode you can see that all the bones move. 24 00:02:02,340 --> 00:02:09,210 And the reason for that is because our I.K. hand is off the center of the hand bone. 25 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:14,410 See if I move this out and go in and out of object mode it will move even more. 26 00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:21,510 So what we want to do is select this right here shift us cursor to selected and then it's like this 27 00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:25,000 one and shift us selection to cursor. 28 00:02:25,170 --> 00:02:32,620 Now if I hit tab to go in and out of edit and pose mode it's not moving anymore. 29 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,590 So pretty awesome. 30 00:02:35,700 --> 00:02:45,900 Now just one last thing I wanna do is go over here to the elbow and Allt shift right click all these 31 00:02:45,900 --> 00:02:54,400 loops here and I just want to smooth this out just a tiny bit because it's a little bit to penetrate. 32 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:59,640 They're also going to have five on the numpad to go out of orthographic view and go back into perspective 33 00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:03,320 view because it's confusing sometimes. 34 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:03,690 All right. 35 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:08,790 Hitting W and a slight smooth to smooth that out. 36 00:03:08,790 --> 00:03:12,390 Now the very last thing we do is select these bones right here. 37 00:03:12,540 --> 00:03:21,150 Go to the bone tab and we're going to de-select deform on all three of these because we do not want 38 00:03:21,150 --> 00:03:24,240 them to deform our mesh. 39 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:30,150 We actually want it to be separate from that part of the deformation. 40 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:30,580 All right. 41 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:37,260 Now we're ready to put our character onto our bones to the good parts selecting your character shift 42 00:03:37,260 --> 00:03:43,340 right click any bone control P and select with automatic weights. 43 00:03:43,350 --> 00:03:49,920 Now before we had printed it to the bone veray here this is armature deform you can do it with empty 44 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,790 groups meaning that there will you will have to sign them by hand. 45 00:03:53,910 --> 00:03:59,450 You can do it with envelope weights or with automatic weights now automatic weights is really cool. 46 00:03:59,460 --> 00:04:05,220 It just calculates the mesh that is surrounding the bone and then assigns that part of the mesh to that 47 00:04:05,220 --> 00:04:06,960 particular bone. 48 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:17,860 So if I hit Control p with automatic weights now if I select my I.K. hand dot l hit G to grab it. 49 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,250 Check that out. 50 00:04:20,250 --> 00:04:21,560 It's pretty awesome. 51 00:04:21,750 --> 00:04:28,600 So we can actually animate and move our character with the bones we can hit are to rotate it. 52 00:04:28,860 --> 00:04:31,040 And same with the body. 53 00:04:31,050 --> 00:04:35,630 We can rotate it's hit twice to move it around. 54 00:04:35,820 --> 00:04:36,750 Pretty cool. 55 00:04:36,750 --> 00:04:37,760 Pretty cool. 56 00:04:37,770 --> 00:04:39,610 So we did it. 57 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:52,890 Now one thing that I want to or that we need to do is if I rotate this like so kind of bring it out 58 00:04:52,890 --> 00:04:56,870 like his hand is going to the front like this. 59 00:04:57,300 --> 00:05:03,090 You can see that if I hit control tab to go into object mode and hide the armature you can see that 60 00:05:03,090 --> 00:05:04,970 we have kind of a major problem. 61 00:05:04,980 --> 00:05:11,360 I mean it might not be a problem if you want your character to his his wrist to animate like that maybe. 62 00:05:11,370 --> 00:05:13,170 But for me it's a problem. 63 00:05:13,170 --> 00:05:15,240 So let's go ahead and fix that. 64 00:05:15,330 --> 00:05:16,980 Two things that we need to do to fix this. 65 00:05:16,980 --> 00:05:19,080 First selecting our character. 66 00:05:19,380 --> 00:05:21,800 Let's go to the modifiers tab. 67 00:05:21,990 --> 00:05:27,000 Right here we have the three modifiers the mirror the subserve and the armature. 68 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,900 Now it's very critical in which order these are put. 69 00:05:30,900 --> 00:05:37,120 So we want to have the subserve modifier last before or after the armature modifier. 70 00:05:37,230 --> 00:05:43,020 So clicking down this down arroba and on subserve modifier you can see that already that does quite 71 00:05:43,020 --> 00:05:44,340 a bit for here. 72 00:05:44,340 --> 00:05:49,420 The rest area and for the elbow you can see the difference there. 73 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:55,170 So subserve modifier all the way down and now we still got some weird deformation so let's hit all h 74 00:05:55,530 --> 00:05:58,080 to unhide our armature. 75 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:04,710 Select a control tab to go into PPOs mode and selecting this bone right here the forearm. 76 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,570 Let's go over here to the bone. 77 00:06:08,850 --> 00:06:17,030 The bone options go to deform and we're going to increase the segments to six. 78 00:06:17,730 --> 00:06:23,260 So the segments basically segment's the bone and makes it smoother. 79 00:06:23,260 --> 00:06:29,160 So right here you actually can't see it because if we go over here you can see that right now it's set 80 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,440 to octahedron bone. 81 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:39,050 But if we still like the bone you could see that these segments basically breaks up the bones or subdivides 82 00:06:39,060 --> 00:06:44,150 that now going to set it back to octahedron because I tend to like that better. 83 00:06:44,210 --> 00:06:50,240 And what we're going to do as well to have some better deformation because you could see that at the 84 00:06:50,270 --> 00:06:52,910 elbow it's deforming a little bit weird. 85 00:06:52,910 --> 00:06:58,840 We got our wrist handle but at their elbow it's a little bit pinched so what are you going to do is 86 00:06:58,850 --> 00:07:03,950 hit tab to go into edit mode select this bone and hit Allt p. 87 00:07:04,310 --> 00:07:10,040 And I'm going to disconnect the bone so now it's no longer connected. 88 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:18,260 It's still printed but now what we have is a much sharper and cleaner defamation right here and it's 89 00:07:18,260 --> 00:07:27,040 actually able to deform properly at a 90 degree angle instead of it kind of wrapping around there. 90 00:07:27,650 --> 00:07:37,300 So one last thing we could actually do is we could slice this and change the ease in put that to zero. 91 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:45,910 And also the ease out put that to zero as well which will clean it up just a little bit more. 92 00:07:47,350 --> 00:07:50,640 Now let's make sure that on here we do the same thing as well. 93 00:07:50,710 --> 00:07:58,690 Segment 6 and ease in zero and ease out zero as well. 94 00:07:58,690 --> 00:08:03,850 All right there we have it we have our character reg you could slide the bones and hit all our LG or 95 00:08:04,050 --> 00:08:06,220 as to reset them. 96 00:08:06,610 --> 00:08:15,970 And now you can see that we have pretty much our character and for the most part all the bones are animating 97 00:08:16,060 --> 00:08:23,290 and rotating and changing whatever they're changing the correct part of the mesh that we want if we 98 00:08:23,290 --> 00:08:27,890 see like the two fingers here or even one of them and it are to rotate. 99 00:08:28,150 --> 00:08:31,790 And then Z twice to rotate the Annese normal. 100 00:08:31,990 --> 00:08:36,330 You could see that when we rotate it it rotates both of them. 101 00:08:36,550 --> 00:08:44,740 And we're actually able to animate the fingers as well and same with the foot thumb if we are an X to 102 00:08:44,740 --> 00:08:53,020 rotate it or x twice to rotate it on the x axis you can see that we can animate the fingers and then 103 00:08:53,020 --> 00:09:00,370 we could hit our to rotate the hand grab it and whatnot. 104 00:09:00,370 --> 00:09:01,750 All right so that's pretty cool. 105 00:09:01,750 --> 00:09:09,220 And now we just need to do a couple of tweaks because on some of them you can see for example if I grab 106 00:09:09,220 --> 00:09:12,330 this you can see that it's moving the eye. 107 00:09:12,580 --> 00:09:17,110 It's moving part of the face and the eye and some of the teeth as well. 108 00:09:17,110 --> 00:09:23,620 So we don't want the arm to be moving the teeth so we could fix that quite easily. 109 00:09:23,620 --> 00:09:27,780 And also for here it's moving a little bit of the eyes too much as well. 110 00:09:27,850 --> 00:09:33,310 And the way we're going to fix these couple of tweaks is through the weight painting which we're going 111 00:09:33,310 --> 00:09:38,840 to take a look at in the next tutorial but awesome so far. 112 00:09:38,860 --> 00:09:44,930 We got our whole character Reg and for the most part it's looking good. 113 00:09:44,950 --> 00:09:45,270 All right. 114 00:09:45,310 --> 00:09:48,640 I'll see you in the next Tauriel sailor chap. 115 00:09:49,540 --> 00:09:54,350 I don't know about you but I predict he's going to belly flop. 116 00:09:54,350 --> 00:09:55,360 All right. 117 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:56,710 Looks painful. 118 00:09:56,710 --> 00:10:02,290 Step up to the plate take that leap of fate jump off and go soaring away in this place. 119 00:10:02,290 --> 00:10:04,370 You were never meant to stay. 120 00:10:04,420 --> 00:10:06,860 I ladies and gentlemen take a leap of fate. 121 00:10:07,090 --> 00:10:09,650 But don't belly flop on the way down. 122 00:10:09,730 --> 00:10:10,710 Ciao for now. 123 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:11,410 Overlock.
