1

00:00:05,860 --> 00:00:11,690

All right in this Tauriel is take a look at something called Custom shapes and what they are and how



2

00:00:11,690 --> 00:00:19,010

we can use up so custom shapes are basically going to be used to replace all these bones with as the



3

00:00:19,010 --> 00:00:23,010

name implies custom shapes because right now it's looking a little bit messy.



4

00:00:23,090 --> 00:00:29,960

It's just bones all over the place and it's not very pleasing to look at and it's going to be annoying



5

00:00:29,990 --> 00:00:41,930

to animate with this way because it's a little condensed and yeah not that not that organized.



6

00:00:41,950 --> 00:00:45,430

So let's go ahead and add some shape our custom shapes.



7

00:00:45,700 --> 00:00:50,410

First we're going to control tab and make sure we're in Object mode shift day.



8

00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:59,300

We're going to add in a circle hitting the tiki vertices and change it to eight vertices.



9

00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,910

So the first bone We're going to replace is going to be the eyebrow.



10

00:01:03,220 --> 00:01:10,440

So all we have to do is turn this into an eyebrow looking shape hitting tab to go into edit mode.



11

00:01:10,930 --> 00:01:19,120

Let's bring this up on the y axis a disliked everything else and wide scale it down like so and that



12

00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:28,750

we get a modifiers type out a modifier subdivision surface and added subserve modifier to our eyebrow



13

00:01:28,750 --> 00:01:29,780

shape here.



14

00:01:30,940 --> 00:01:37,440

Also going to bring these down make it more of an eyebrow look and shape right there.



15

00:01:45,770 --> 00:01:47,360

Something like that.



16

00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:47,860

All right.



17

00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:57,410

Now with this one selected I'm going to rename this to custom underscore shape one.



18

00:01:57,730 --> 00:02:04,240

And now going to a armature let's select it hit control tab to go into pose mode.



19

00:02:04,270 --> 00:02:09,660

It's like the eyebrow Go to the bone properties and select custom shapes.



20

00:02:09,660 --> 00:02:14,760

And again custom shapes will help us to make this a little more organized and we're going to select



21

00:02:14,790 --> 00:02:21,850

custom shape one as you can see it's much more organized because it's completely gone.



22

00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:26,040

So that makes it a lot easier for us because there's nothing there anymore.



23

00:02:26,420 --> 00:02:26,750

No.



24

00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,210

OK so a couple of things we need to do.



25

00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:34,050

First let's like to wireframe and now you can see our custom shape right there and then selecting our



26

00:02:34,050 --> 00:02:44,870

custom shape which is somewhere over here and see it up there it is hitting tab to go into edit mode.



27

00:02:45,030 --> 00:02:50,820

You can see that right now our custom shape is is facing the wrong way so ADAs select everything are



28

00:02:50,820 --> 00:02:59,690

to rotate X and 90 to rotate it 90 degrees on the x axis.



29

00:02:59,730 --> 00:03:08,450

Now going back to my character here also going to go ahead and close this window on necessary and then.



30

00:03:08,460 --> 00:03:16,480

Now you could see that we have a custom shape and it's still the bone but it looks like an eyebrow instead.



31

00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:17,190

Awesome.



32

00:03:17,220 --> 00:03:21,570

And this is so much better and easier and looks better.



33

00:03:21,570 --> 00:03:27,860

So let's do the same thing with the other eyebrow custom shape one wireframe.



34

00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,130

Cool.



35

00:03:29,130 --> 00:03:35,370

Now we just add some custom shapes for the rest of the the bones.



36

00:03:35,370 --> 00:03:40,880

So let's go ahead and do that selecting our eyebrow.



37

00:03:41,580 --> 00:03:45,530

Let's actually grab this and move it over.



38

00:03:45,540 --> 00:03:47,780

We're going to move it to another layer after.



39

00:03:47,850 --> 00:03:49,190

For now I'm going to keep it here.



40

00:03:49,350 --> 00:03:51,060

Bang ahead shift the ax.



41

00:03:51,060 --> 00:03:52,360

Copy this over.



42

00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,740

And now tab to go into edit mode.



43

00:03:54,750 --> 00:04:00,090

I'm going to change this one a little bit and this one is going to be middlebrow



44

00:04:02,420 --> 00:04:12,330

I'ma just grab these so that one will be middlebrow on and I scale it down to an edit mode.



45

00:04:14,330 --> 00:04:21,590

And then I'm going to rename this one custom shape to very clever with my names.



46

00:04:21,620 --> 00:04:29,860

Of course you can name them anything you want and then select custom shape to wireframe and in edit



47

00:04:29,870 --> 00:04:37,840

mode like everything are to rotate 180 degrees to flip it upside down.



48

00:04:37,980 --> 00:04:38,300

Cool.



49

00:04:38,300 --> 00:04:40,760

So now we got the eyebrow.



50

00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:49,280

Let's go ahead and let's actually do these bigger bones here because they are very intrusive.



51

00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:52,430

So let's go with those beforehand.



52

00:04:52,790 --> 00:04:55,480

For those what I'm going to do is hit shift day



53

00:04:58,310 --> 00:05:05,600

once I find my other bones control tabs go into object mode first I'm going to hit shift day.



54

00:05:05,780 --> 00:05:16,560

Add Mersch circle and for this I'm just going put it at 32 vertices and name this custom shape.



55

00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:17,000

RE



56

00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,870

and now selecting this one right here.



57

00:05:25,230 --> 00:05:30,260

Let's go ahead and select custom shape three ladies and gentlemen.



58

00:05:30,690 --> 00:05:32,310

All right.



59

00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:33,790

That looks perfect.



60

00:05:34,140 --> 00:05:43,050

Let's go ahead and rotate this because it's completely wrong are x 90 degrees and we could select it



61

00:05:43,260 --> 00:05:46,510

over here on a scale let's bring the scale down.



62

00:05:49,290 --> 00:05:54,850

If my mouse were to work I would be able to.



63

00:05:54,970 --> 00:05:55,580

There we go.



64

00:05:55,610 --> 00:05:57,210

Point four.



65

00:05:57,230 --> 00:05:57,670

All right.



66

00:05:57,710 --> 00:06:01,100

Awesome Let's do this let's put the same.



67

00:06:01,100 --> 00:06:04,050

My mouse has a mind of its own right now.



68

00:06:04,100 --> 00:06:05,430

I'm so sorry.



69

00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,990

Let's do the same with these three.



70

00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:16,510

Put on the same custom shaped three for all of these.



71

00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,580

And the head as well.



72

00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,870

So look how much neater that looks.



73

00:06:23,870 --> 00:06:28,470

Also another thing we could do is turn off white wire axes on come on.



74

00:06:28,490 --> 00:06:30,820

We're trying to make it cleaner and we got all these axes everywhere.



75

00:06:30,830 --> 00:06:32,470

Let's turn that off as well.



76

00:06:32,810 --> 00:06:37,080

OK so now let's try the arms as well with that custom shaped key.



77

00:06:37,230 --> 00:06:41,180

We might have have to add another one but let's try and see.



78

00:06:41,180 --> 00:06:43,150

No we are good.



79

00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:48,880

Turn the scale down on this and just go all the way through.



80

00:06:49,220 --> 00:06:52,550

So I think custom shape key.



81

00:06:52,930 --> 00:06:54,240

Our custom shape.



82

00:06:54,450 --> 00:07:00,530

Numero three you know Meraux that's about as much Spanish as I know.



83

00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,030

All right for this one we're actually going to move this bone to another layer because this one were



84

00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,150

not going to use.



85

00:07:06,220 --> 00:07:09,830

We're just going to use the I.K. bone so this one which is called Hand L..



86

00:07:09,940 --> 00:07:13,880

Let's hit them and let's move it to bone layer dots.



87

00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,330

I like I know a little bit more Spanish.



88

00:07:16,390 --> 00:07:18,590

Those are now custom shape.



89

00:07:18,620 --> 00:07:32,890

Three on the I.K. hand go and actually on the I.K. hand what kind of a different shape to it.



90

00:07:34,690 --> 00:07:37,150

Yeah I'll figure it out when it comes to my mind.



91

00:07:37,450 --> 00:07:39,410

Let's go ahead and do the fingers.



92

00:07:41,900 --> 00:07:44,750

My horrible German accent.



93

00:07:44,750 --> 00:07:45,540

All right.



94

00:07:46,330 --> 00:07:49,050

You guys know I'm french and i can't even do a french accent.



95

00:07:49,060 --> 00:07:50,130

It's terrible.



96

00:07:50,930 --> 00:07:52,600

I've been in America for too long.



97

00:07:54,010 --> 00:08:05,240

So now I'm just going to go through all these and try to entertain you guys while I'm scaling and adding



98

00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:06,330

these custom shape.



99

00:08:06,380 --> 00:08:14,900

So it's point 6 let's try to keep it even you know even the name of the game.



100

00:08:17,750 --> 00:08:18,630

It's 2.5.



101

00:08:18,690 --> 00:08:19,490

I lied.



102

00:08:20,550 --> 00:08:26,500

Don't trust me with anything I tell you anymore because I might change my mind at any second.



103

00:08:26,500 --> 00:08:28,880

So just now we're going to point four.



104

00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:29,780

No kidding.



105

00:08:29,950 --> 00:08:31,640

Let's go to point five.



106

00:08:32,020 --> 00:08:36,640

Or you can do whatever you want you know you could totally ignore me and put it at whatever size you



107

00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:37,330

want.



108

00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,730

I'm not it's all like I'm going to come to your house and tell you to change it.



109

00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:44,360

Yes I am.



110

00:08:44,580 --> 00:08:45,720

All right.



111

00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:46,660

Enough of that.



112

00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:48,570

Let's go.



113

00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:55,850

Let's do this one we're not going to use either so let's hit em and move it to layer 2 as well.



114

00:08:55,850 --> 00:08:59,990

And this one as well and two.



115

00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,740

All right.



116

00:09:01,740 --> 00:09:04,880

Same thing on this side custom shape three.



117

00:09:04,950 --> 00:09:10,360

I wish there was a flip custom shape option over here.



118

00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,070

I don't believe there is.



119

00:09:12,070 --> 00:09:14,290

These ones are set to point for



120

00:09:23,150 --> 00:09:24,850

I want this one a bit bigger.



121

00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:32,060

This one I'm going to set 2.4 to match the other side.



122

00:09:32,530 --> 00:09:35,760

I'm telling you my mouse is possessed.



123

00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,110

It's just clicking stuff on its own.



124

00:09:39,100 --> 00:09:40,950

I have to retire this thing.



125

00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,970

It's been with me all these years.



126

00:09:43,230 --> 00:09:46,290

It's by grabbing the hand.



127

00:09:46,340 --> 00:09:47,460

Not the I.K..



128

00:09:47,510 --> 00:09:59,510

Let's move that to layer DOS as well and then select the hand custom shape shaped three wireframe scale.



129

00:09:59,510 --> 00:10:01,270

I'm going to leave it at one.



130

00:10:01,580 --> 00:10:08,730

And now let's go to the fingers custom shape three wireframe point.



131

00:10:09,410 --> 00:10:10,320

We put a point.



132

00:10:10,340 --> 00:10:11,430

I think it was point five.



133

00:10:11,450 --> 00:10:12,310

Yeah.



134

00:10:14,190 --> 00:10:18,400

Well you can see how organized I am in my mind.



135

00:10:19,170 --> 00:10:20,370

Only kidding.



136

00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,000

It's it's organized by my standards.



137

00:10:24,010 --> 00:10:31,630

All right let's 2.5 on all of these I'm telling you this mouse is not going to last through to the next



138

00:10:31,630 --> 00:10:32,510

tutorial.



139

00:10:33,980 --> 00:10:34,940

I'm going to chuck it



140

00:10:38,580 --> 00:10:39,330

only kidding.



141

00:10:39,450 --> 00:10:41,760

Only love for my mouse.



142

00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,020

It's got me so far.



143

00:10:45,030 --> 00:10:47,360

Point five up with this one point four.



144

00:10:47,370 --> 00:10:50,170

No it's good mouse.



145

00:10:50,250 --> 00:11:03,900

Listen to me because I'm shaped three wireframe point five and custom shape three point five wireframe



146

00:11:05,510 --> 00:11:07,020

and boom.



147

00:11:07,290 --> 00:11:08,870

Check this out.



148

00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,320

How cool is that.



149

00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:15,720

So very very awesome very handy very practical.



150

00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:16,600

I have this one.



151

00:11:16,620 --> 00:11:18,570

This one actually we're never going to move.



152

00:11:18,810 --> 00:11:21,290

And this one we're never going to move either.



153

00:11:21,300 --> 00:11:24,240

So let's move these to layer two as well.



154

00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:31,920

Actually we might rotate it so scratch that let's just leave it there.



155

00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:32,470

All right.



156

00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:36,570

Now let's do the eyes also.



157

00:11:36,580 --> 00:11:39,160

Let me see one thing.



158

00:11:42,500 --> 00:11:45,850

See how we're going.



159

00:11:45,930 --> 00:11:47,470

All right let's do the eyes.



160

00:11:47,790 --> 00:11:49,120

So for the eyes.



161

00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:50,820

Very simple.



162

00:11:50,900 --> 00:11:59,410

I'm going to shift the copy this over and for the while we're going to have three separate ones for



163

00:11:59,410 --> 00:12:02,060

the eyes because we're going to have the eyes.



164

00:12:02,170 --> 00:12:04,800

And then we actually we only need one week for the eyes.



165

00:12:04,810 --> 00:12:07,240

We can use the circle we were using previously.



166

00:12:07,420 --> 00:12:12,350

So for me I look which is this one right here.



167

00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,000

The middle one.



168

00:12:14,260 --> 00:12:17,860

Let's make a kind of like a glasses type shape.



169

00:12:18,070 --> 00:12:21,630

So I'm going to it be the box like this.



170

00:12:21,790 --> 00:12:36,540

Bring that over bring this over and then just select these four my mouse allows me to subdivide and



171

00:12:36,540 --> 00:12:52,280

then bring X X bring these down two aspects bring these down and then subdivide this one more time w



172

00:12:52,580 --> 00:13:02,790

subdivide and gluts as much as sex these guys to get scale on the x axis.



173

00:13:02,810 --> 00:13:03,650

Geez.



174

00:13:03,890 --> 00:13:08,290

All right and let's add a subdivision surface modifier to this as well.



175

00:13:08,420 --> 00:13:18,330

Make it a little rounder and let's name this custom shape for custom underscores shape for and then



176

00:13:18,410 --> 00:13:21,720

selecting this right here.



177

00:13:23,990 --> 00:13:31,320

You guys know what we're going to do a custom shape for wireframe and let's bring them in the scaling.



178

00:13:31,380 --> 00:13:38,010

And then with these two right here let's put custom shapes three on these scale them down so that they're



179

00:13:38,030 --> 00:13:47,290

inside the glasses or I don't know if those would really be glasses but you know my version of glasses.



180

00:13:47,570 --> 00:13:54,350

And then for this one I actually want it to fit both of them right now it's kind of not fitting at all



181

00:13:54,350 --> 00:14:01,940

so I'm going to have to go into edit mode as x scale it down and then G and x to bring it over and make



182

00:14:01,940 --> 00:14:12,240

sure you're doing this in edit mode so that now these two are within the glasses right here.



183

00:14:14,930 --> 00:14:15,770

All right cool.



184

00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:16,820

So now we got that.
