WEBVTT 00:03.090 --> 00:05.620 Hi guys welcome to box modelling. 00:05.640 --> 00:10.500 We're going to be covering some awesome stuff in this next session really get new into blender making 00:10.500 --> 00:11.680 your first model. 00:11.740 --> 00:15.520 And we're going to start off with the real fundamentals of any 3D models. 00:15.540 --> 00:16.640 What are those Ben. 00:16.940 --> 00:20.790 So we're going to take you through from the very beginning because we think that is really important 00:20.790 --> 00:24.470 to understand what's going on down at the detail level in blender. 00:24.480 --> 00:28.790 It's really good to serve you in the future if you get those basic lay of your understanding sorted. 00:28.920 --> 00:34.170 So we're going to start by telling you what vertices are vertices are basically points in space. 00:34.170 --> 00:37.770 That's all you need to think about them as they're just something in a three dimensional space with 00:37.770 --> 00:39.810 an x y and z coordinate. 00:39.930 --> 00:42.050 And once you've got more than one vertex let's say. 00:42.070 --> 00:46.260 Well two we can draw a line between them and if we do that what is that line that we draw between two 00:46.260 --> 00:46.830 vertices. 00:46.880 --> 00:51.430 Oh that's an edge and edges will make up the majority of your geometry. 00:51.490 --> 00:57.880 And eventually when you have three or more edges close together you get a face. 00:57.900 --> 01:02.010 We'll be talking about faces a little bit more in the middle of the section but faces are what they 01:02.010 --> 01:02.490 sound like. 01:02.490 --> 01:04.510 It's a flat surface and it hurts. 01:04.600 --> 01:09.390 It does actually have a direction to it a face can be facing outwards or inwards and that's quite important 01:09.390 --> 01:12.840 so pay attention to that and we'll talk about that a little bit later on. 01:12.900 --> 01:15.650 Basically by the end of the section what are they going to do Mikey. 01:15.740 --> 01:20.020 Are you going to be able to make any place hold any basic model that you like. 01:20.130 --> 01:25.050 So think about children's toys and how they're representations of real life objects. 01:25.070 --> 01:29.910 You have to be able to create pretty much any of those that you can see cool and by a process of successive 01:30.090 --> 01:33.950 improvement you'll really go from your place holder objects to fully fledged models. 01:33.960 --> 01:36.650 If you want to do that here on the Benda folks you probably do. 01:36.660 --> 01:41.010 Some people might just want to be making placeholders just to pop in maybe in a game and then go away 01:41.010 --> 01:45.050 and carry on with development whatever you want to use these place holders for their starting point. 01:45.070 --> 01:49.140 If either you or somebody else to take that and make it into a fully fledged model you might just want 01:49.140 --> 01:50.390 to try it out and prototype. 01:50.400 --> 01:52.470 See Is this the right type a shape and size. 01:52.470 --> 01:53.960 Is this thing I want to go for. 01:53.970 --> 01:54.920 So play around with it. 01:54.920 --> 01:59.010 Have great fun and remember share your creations as we go along. 01:59.040 --> 02:02.070 We as in structures love to see you guys come up with. 02:03.050 --> 02:07.760 And first of all I want to show you one of the first things will be creating in this section is a very 02:07.760 --> 02:13.700 simple blockwork plain is a great place holder for any particular plane youre going to use. 02:13.700 --> 02:15.920 Maybe not a jumbo jet but you get the idea. 02:16.010 --> 02:19.420 And this is just the first iteration Once youve got skilled up. 02:19.460 --> 02:25.460 This will take you but a few moments to make of course from this you can build that out and you end 02:25.460 --> 02:27.860 up with something more like this. 02:27.860 --> 02:28.620 Here we go. 02:28.640 --> 02:34.580 And this is actually just a little bit more time and you will find that while I say a little bit more 02:34.580 --> 02:37.480 time it is exponentially more time. 02:37.490 --> 02:44.030 So the first one I could now do in about a minute give or take this one with more detail in its probably 02:44.030 --> 02:49.470 good take me about five times longer maybe even 10 times longer if I start putting more detail in. 02:49.670 --> 02:51.950 And from this you can now make out. 02:51.950 --> 02:56.080 This looks kind of like an F 15 or something along those lines or maybe a MIG. 02:56.210 --> 02:58.370 We just don't know at the moment as the details not there. 02:58.370 --> 03:04.280 However from this you can build upon it again and thats the best way of building your models from the 03:04.280 --> 03:10.040 ground up is very tempting to go straight for the high poly ultra realistic. 03:10.040 --> 03:17.000 But really if you get these low poly models nailed you will be able to produce things much much quicker 03:17.180 --> 03:20.300 and work out what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of. 03:20.480 --> 03:24.680 Now by the end of the section we'll be building these Mayan pyramids. 03:24.710 --> 03:29.810 There's lots to learn with in setting and look all these stairs or wonder how we can go about creating 03:29.810 --> 03:33.280 those in a way that's not too painful to do. 03:33.290 --> 03:35.360 This is a very simple mind pyramid. 03:35.360 --> 03:39.120 Obviously you can take all the schools you've learnt add even more detail. 03:39.290 --> 03:42.530 So remember if you go please do show your work over on the form. 03:42.530 --> 03:47.780 I love seeing what you guys come up with especially as you're talking about and playing sometimes you 03:47.780 --> 03:50.620 end up with happy accidents Okay. 03:50.630 --> 03:53.470 And I will see you guys over on the next lecture.
