1 00:00:06,060 --> 00:00:10,710 All right ladies and gentlemen we're going to take a look at SHAPE keys in this video and how we're 2 00:00:10,710 --> 00:00:17,220 going to use Shakey's to animate our characters face just like we use shape keys for our lattice in 3 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,640 the ball tutorial for selecting one of these vans. 4 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:27,150 I'm going to hit control tab go into object mode and H to hide all of the bones so that we can see what 5 00:00:27,270 --> 00:00:34,470 in the world we're doing in selecting the character hitting tab to go into edit mode. 6 00:00:34,710 --> 00:00:39,770 Let's hit control tab go into Virtex select mode and let slide this to see. 7 00:00:39,780 --> 00:00:47,640 And this furry fur to see or Virtex and going down here making sure our pivot point is still on median 8 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:56,570 point if not switching it to its Anhang g y and bringing it back a bit like so. 9 00:00:58,140 --> 00:00:58,660 Awesome. 10 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,480 And I'm also going to bring this one back a little bit as well. 11 00:01:04,540 --> 00:01:05,060 Cool. 12 00:01:05,110 --> 00:01:09,560 Now we're going to go the modifiers tab and guess what we're going to do. 13 00:01:09,790 --> 00:01:12,760 We are going to apply a modifier. 14 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,350 Believe it or not we are. 15 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,130 Let's go ahead and play it a mere modifier. 16 00:01:18,190 --> 00:01:24,420 Now if we go into edit mode you could see that everything is one giant mushroom mesh. 17 00:01:24,790 --> 00:01:26,140 Not a mushroom mess. 18 00:01:26,170 --> 00:01:27,370 A mesh. 19 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:27,760 All right. 20 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,790 Enough with the corny pony jokes. 21 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,050 Let's go to the vertex data tab. 22 00:01:32,170 --> 00:01:34,180 Add in a new shape key. 23 00:01:34,420 --> 00:01:36,760 And this one is called the basis. 24 00:01:36,790 --> 00:01:43,210 So this one is going to be the basic one on how our character looks like in its original form. 25 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,250 And then we're going to add a new shape key. 26 00:01:46,220 --> 00:01:47,360 Double click it. 27 00:01:47,430 --> 00:01:49,480 We're going to name it something fancy like 28 00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:53,160 I 29 00:01:56,490 --> 00:02:01,330 bottom dot L I underscore bottom dot L. 30 00:02:01,590 --> 00:02:05,210 And now what shape keys allow for us to do just like with the lattice. 31 00:02:05,250 --> 00:02:10,560 Is there going to allow for us to animate the actual mesh of the character. 32 00:02:10,830 --> 00:02:16,230 So the way to do that is first we have to put the value all the way to one because this is getting it 33 00:02:16,980 --> 00:02:18,050 right here at zero. 34 00:02:18,060 --> 00:02:19,940 The mesh is going to look like this. 35 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:25,560 And now at one we're going to basically dictate how the mesh will look like when it's at a value of 36 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:26,290 1. 37 00:02:26,580 --> 00:02:28,030 So with a value of 1. 38 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,090 Let's select these and hit G and Z. 39 00:02:33,130 --> 00:02:35,560 And let's just bring them up. 40 00:02:35,620 --> 00:02:40,910 It's like this corner one two right here. 41 00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:41,220 I could. 42 00:02:41,220 --> 00:02:43,470 All right click that to see where it is. 43 00:02:43,470 --> 00:02:45,870 There it is g and Z. 44 00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:58,990 And just by bringing these up to how would look like with our eye lid closed bring this down. 45 00:03:01,630 --> 00:03:04,990 Do something like that. 46 00:03:04,990 --> 00:03:05,420 All right. 47 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:12,580 Now if I bring the slider down you could see that zero is there and that one it's out of a position 48 00:03:12,580 --> 00:03:16,180 where we set it to just like before. 49 00:03:16,180 --> 00:03:17,080 Awesome. 50 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,540 Now what I want to do to mirror it onto the other side. 51 00:03:20,740 --> 00:03:25,300 Want to make sure that this is set to one and then go over here. 52 00:03:25,450 --> 00:03:29,410 Select the low down arrow and select mirror. 53 00:03:29,850 --> 00:03:32,920 No new shape from mix. 54 00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:36,460 Now if I increase its value you can see that it's affecting this. 55 00:03:36,490 --> 00:03:40,600 I still so with this value just set to zero. 56 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,550 I'm just going to click this and then click on mere shape key. 57 00:03:44,710 --> 00:03:49,730 And now if I increase its value you could see it's been mirrored to the other side. 58 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,780 Pretty sweet. 59 00:03:51,850 --> 00:04:00,970 And now let's go ahead and rename this to high underscore bottom dot r. 60 00:04:01,350 --> 00:04:05,300 And I'm going to bring this value back down to zero. 61 00:04:05,300 --> 00:04:05,830 All right. 62 00:04:05,850 --> 00:04:07,810 Now adding a new shape key. 63 00:04:07,860 --> 00:04:10,930 Let's go ahead and do the top of the high. 64 00:04:11,340 --> 00:04:13,340 So much like we just did before. 65 00:04:13,350 --> 00:04:21,180 Let's rename this to I underscore top got al. 66 00:04:21,420 --> 00:04:26,770 Increase the value to 1 and then you guessed it. 67 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,720 Let's go to the top right here. 68 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:35,270 Cheesy and bring this puppy down. 69 00:04:35,260 --> 00:04:36,370 I'm actually going to. 70 00:04:36,530 --> 00:04:37,680 All right click. 71 00:04:38,700 --> 00:04:42,050 This entire loop and then just dislike those hit G and Z. 72 00:04:43,430 --> 00:04:53,660 Actually I am going to de-select those as well GZ and bring it down and right here you can see that's 73 00:04:53,700 --> 00:05:01,110 going into the ILO bids are going to bring it down and out a little bit onto the y axis. 74 00:05:06,870 --> 00:05:07,690 Like so. 75 00:05:07,710 --> 00:05:14,920 And then I'm going to bring the corner down as well 76 00:05:26,950 --> 00:05:32,160 and bringing the middle part down a bit more 77 00:05:37,470 --> 00:05:43,170 I want to exaggerate it a little bit just in case it's a cartoon character so I want to be able to exaggerate 78 00:05:43,170 --> 00:05:45,640 his facial expressions. 79 00:05:45,810 --> 00:05:56,940 And also I could always not lower the value as much to keep it 80 00:06:01,490 --> 00:06:03,790 not as exaggerated. 81 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,070 If that makes any sense. 82 00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:08,570 Of course it does. 83 00:06:08,580 --> 00:06:17,470 All right so now if I increase or decrease it's value you can see the effects the I and I could also 84 00:06:17,470 --> 00:06:25,390 increase the bottom one and you can see what's happening in there now the eye is not closing completely 85 00:06:25,390 --> 00:06:26,190 right here. 86 00:06:26,230 --> 00:06:36,110 So let's go ahead and fix that by first going to the I talked we're going to bring these three down 87 00:06:36,140 --> 00:06:42,100 a little bit more making sure the values that one I talk bring them down. 88 00:06:43,850 --> 00:06:55,840 And then bring this down and you go that I left clicking I bottom increase that an bring this one up 89 00:06:56,740 --> 00:06:59,640 a little bit more. 90 00:06:59,650 --> 00:07:01,750 Now let's test it going to the top. 91 00:07:01,750 --> 00:07:02,700 Let's increase this. 92 00:07:02,710 --> 00:07:06,590 And you could see that it closes just fine. 93 00:07:09,350 --> 00:07:15,510 And I want to actually it's overlapping So what I'm going to do 94 00:07:20,670 --> 00:07:23,600 we can have it right there. 95 00:07:24,510 --> 00:07:33,840 So what I'm going to do is I could go in here and actually change it so that you know our vertices only 96 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,700 go down to about right here. 97 00:07:38,090 --> 00:07:48,170 But I like to have a little extra free flow with it just in case for whatever reason. 98 00:07:48,860 --> 00:07:57,670 Let's say the bottom is not is not is not up and the top one I wanted to go further down. 99 00:07:57,860 --> 00:08:05,090 So what I'm going to do actually instead of changing what we did is I'm just going to go to where it 100 00:08:05,180 --> 00:08:06,610 meets the eye. 101 00:08:07,220 --> 00:08:11,450 And then with this value which is eight point six four I'm going to put the max right here. 102 00:08:11,540 --> 00:08:18,670 Two point eight six four sorry eight point six four that's going to be way too much. 103 00:08:18,830 --> 00:08:21,270 So the max will be point eight six four. 104 00:08:21,350 --> 00:08:26,450 So that will be the maximum that we could do for the eye. 105 00:08:26,780 --> 00:08:30,950 So now we have a perfect eye that is closing. 106 00:08:31,110 --> 00:08:35,270 I'm actually going to increase it by one hair we're not. 107 00:08:35,270 --> 00:08:44,830 Nine point eight six five we go now bring this all the way down. 108 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,620 And I bought them all the way down as well. 109 00:08:47,790 --> 00:08:55,160 But I'm going do now is actually select this one to lead it and with the bottom the L increases all 110 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,470 the way to 1. 111 00:08:56,850 --> 00:09:06,720 Select this go to new shape from mix and then go to mirror shape key. 112 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,150 Now you can see it's doing that. 113 00:09:09,170 --> 00:09:11,420 Go ahead and rename this one too. 114 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:18,640 I underscore the bottom Dot are go back to bottom. 115 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:24,220 I'll put all this all the way down to one go the top dollar I'll bring it all the way. 116 00:09:24,220 --> 00:09:34,540 Two point eight six five new shape from mix and then click mirror shape key. 117 00:09:34,860 --> 00:09:37,010 And we got the top one right there. 118 00:09:37,020 --> 00:09:47,220 Let's go ahead and rename it to I underscore not a plus sign. 119 00:09:47,220 --> 00:09:53,120 By turn dot r r sorry. 120 00:09:53,460 --> 00:09:57,060 I underscore top dot are. 121 00:09:57,100 --> 00:09:59,310 I am mixing my names together. 122 00:10:00,850 --> 00:10:02,590 Let's bring this all the way down. 123 00:10:02,710 --> 00:10:10,390 And on top dot are let's put the maximum two point eight six five and boom. 124 00:10:10,390 --> 00:10:11,460 There we go. 125 00:10:11,470 --> 00:10:20,010 All right so we got the I's handled and out of the way where the I's are ready to be animated. 126 00:10:20,010 --> 00:10:22,060 So pretty cool and a future. 127 00:10:22,090 --> 00:10:27,290 Tauriel we're going to see like I said how to add bones so that these values can be animated by bones 128 00:10:27,290 --> 00:10:30,090 and set of these sliders right here. 129 00:10:31,350 --> 00:10:36,840 Now in the next video we're going to continue along with the shape keys and we're going to go ahead 130 00:10:36,870 --> 00:10:41,480 and do the eyebrows and the Rau area. 131 00:10:41,670 --> 00:10:46,640 So a see there make sure to save your project of course. 132 00:10:46,740 --> 00:10:52,770 Saving is the key to the Blendr life. 133 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:54,710 All right. 134 00:10:54,860 --> 00:10:59,000 All right I'll see you in the next Tauriel up. 135 00:10:59,190 --> 00:11:01,730 What is this guy doing in the middle of nowhere. 136 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,960 Are at he all the non-selling past. 137 00:11:04,980 --> 00:11:10,540 It can be done quite fast and once you finally do you'll realize the potential within you. 138 00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:15,540 For now the all is wiped away and you can create every day in a brand new way. 139 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:21,520 As you can see from my quotes I truly believe there's lots of potential and greatness within you. 140 00:11:21,540 --> 00:11:21,960 All right. 141 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,130 Ciao for now. 142 00:11:23,170 --> 00:11:23,850 Overwash.
