WEBVTT 00:00.240 --> 00:02.980 Welcome to selecting hid in geometry. 00:03.030 --> 00:09.030 So in this video we're going to learn how to select geometry that isn't visible to us in our viewport 00:09.030 --> 00:10.700 in front of us. 00:10.710 --> 00:13.680 Now there are two straightforward ways of doing that. 00:13.680 --> 00:17.930 Number one we can switch the viewport shading to wireframe mode. 00:17.940 --> 00:24.660 Number two we can toggle limit selection to visible and then finally we go on to build the rest of our 00:24.660 --> 00:25.320 bishop. 00:25.530 --> 00:27.520 Let's hop over straight into blender. 00:28.360 --> 00:30.650 Hello everybody and welcome back over into blender. 00:30.650 --> 00:35.080 The one thing that's different now is I've done a bit of reorganizing in between videos just making 00:35.080 --> 00:42.940 sure that the low poly Bishop itself is outside of the archive folder before it wasn't and now is okay. 00:42.960 --> 00:48.760 So the first thing I've noticed is that in between loading this up it's decided to lose my background 00:48.760 --> 00:54.970 image to one going to do is scroll down on the on the properties panel here until we get to the area 00:54.970 --> 00:58.670 where we have our background images and just go ahead and find it again. 00:58.670 --> 01:04.000 See my low poly chess set assets and we've got our bishop and us to make sure that's not going to happen 01:04.000 --> 01:04.690 again. 01:04.810 --> 01:09.880 Going down to underneath where it says source and let's just make this a little wider so we can see 01:09.880 --> 01:10.690 everything. 01:10.750 --> 01:12.570 We have an option here. 01:12.570 --> 01:18.170 This little icon on the far left to pack the image has embedded data. 01:18.330 --> 01:22.990 That will mean it you just load up every time I can unpack it later on by clicking that and removing 01:22.990 --> 01:27.600 the pack or linking it or creating you know there's lots at lots of different options there. 01:27.610 --> 01:33.520 But for the moment I just want it packed him just in case it disappears again and I don't have to do 01:33.520 --> 01:34.520 that again anyway. 01:34.810 --> 01:37.440 So selecting through our objects if we're in edit mode. 01:37.450 --> 01:43.000 Now we're trying to adjust our mesh here we might use board a select So we press the b key ones we press 01:43.000 --> 01:46.260 that we select these areas here that we want. 01:46.300 --> 01:50.310 And let's say we just move them up with the G key lock to the z axis. 01:50.440 --> 01:53.200 We start lifting them up and something weird is going on there. 01:53.220 --> 01:55.440 Okay so a couple of things have gone on. 01:55.630 --> 02:00.930 Let's scroll round to the side and see what we have different mesh completely. 02:00.970 --> 02:05.600 So one of the things that's happened is we had something else selected So that's a good hint there. 02:05.620 --> 02:10.240 Just watch and make sure you clear your selection before you start doing a new selection. 02:10.330 --> 02:14.850 And that can be done with the A key twice sometimes just the selecting everything. 02:15.280 --> 02:17.050 Okay so now get got everything off. 02:17.200 --> 02:23.380 Now that is kind of cool that column looks like a face with maybe a cravat going around but it's not 02:23.380 --> 02:25.290 actually are intended. 02:25.390 --> 02:27.690 We don't intend it to look like that. 02:27.860 --> 02:32.680 That's completely destroyed our model so we would probably want to take a step back from there and make 02:32.680 --> 02:37.030 sure that when we select and we select everything that we want to select some are going to undo what 02:37.030 --> 02:40.550 I've just done because it's completely butchered my bishop. 02:40.550 --> 02:44.860 It's going to take a few days to get there and we can see at this point what's happened is I've got 02:44.860 --> 02:51.580 the bottom face of face selected as we had before and I've got some of this up a bit selective but not 02:51.580 --> 02:52.060 all of it. 02:52.060 --> 02:56.790 Which is why when we went to move it it just distorted it in a very horrible manner. 02:56.800 --> 03:01.350 There is another option here with this ball on top and that's the fact that if we go into wireframe 03:01.390 --> 03:05.940 Moat's if I go down to the viewport shading options and go into a wire frame you can also toggle that 03:05.980 --> 03:07.220 on and off with Z. 03:07.240 --> 03:12.310 We've got the ball going into the objects here and at some point I would want to marry this all together 03:12.820 --> 03:15.980 as one solid object like it really is. 03:16.000 --> 03:17.880 There's no need for these separate. 03:17.950 --> 03:22.440 This separate meshed data within the mesh object was all that out in a few moments. 03:22.720 --> 03:28.150 So the next thing we need to do here is now we're in edit mode with wire frame. 03:28.150 --> 03:29.840 We see that if we do border. 03:29.860 --> 03:32.700 We can select everything on our model. 03:32.830 --> 03:34.210 Even the bits we can't see. 03:34.210 --> 03:39.880 So the first thing is just to switch to wireframe mode and this is my preferred mode for selecting through 03:39.880 --> 03:41.260 a particular model. 03:41.260 --> 03:43.540 There is however another way to do it as well. 03:43.660 --> 03:51.070 And along the toolbar along the header bar at the very bottom of the 3D editor there's a limited selection 03:51.070 --> 03:52.470 to visible button. 03:52.750 --> 03:57.670 And if we go along to it of course it does not exist with any rim wire frame mode because it would make 03:57.670 --> 03:58.290 no sense. 03:58.300 --> 04:01.000 We go back to solid view as we would see here. 04:01.000 --> 04:06.760 Now there's an extra button here next of a vertex edge and face selects we've got a limited selection 04:06.760 --> 04:12.490 to visible clip to with the depth buffer so that's just saying there that if you cannot see it in the 04:12.490 --> 04:17.750 viewport it will not be selected and their depth buffers for it are referring to. 04:17.770 --> 04:21.400 If you scroll up here are display not display. 04:21.460 --> 04:22.540 Whereas it clipping. 04:22.540 --> 04:25.690 This area here so we would see if it was outside the clipping range. 04:25.690 --> 04:28.660 It would not be selected before we toggle that button. 04:28.660 --> 04:32.060 We see there are mesh itself go somewhat see through. 04:32.260 --> 04:36.790 And if you've ever seen it doing this that is what you've toggled on and off there's a good chance that 04:36.790 --> 04:41.620 when you went to go and select face select you inadvertently toppled that and was wondering why things 04:41.620 --> 04:42.590 are see through. 04:42.790 --> 04:44.710 And the downside of that of course is that you. 04:44.710 --> 04:49.930 Now if I'm trying to sweat this face in front I've actually selected the face behind and so can be quite 04:49.930 --> 04:54.150 difficult to Selecter objects however or items that you want to select. 04:54.280 --> 04:59.890 But if I go B and board a select I can now select the entire top as well so it's got its drawbacks and 04:59.890 --> 05:00.850 its benefits. 05:00.850 --> 05:08.110 I personally prefer to leave it in solid shaded with the limited selection to visible on and then using 05:08.110 --> 05:12.480 the wireframe select to select the areas that I want to manipulate. 05:12.610 --> 05:18.070 And then I can go through and move things about how I want them to and then we can win back round to 05:18.070 --> 05:20.990 our side view and move those bits as we'd want. 05:20.990 --> 05:22.740 So now we've whizzed round to the front. 05:22.810 --> 05:25.030 It's time to start making the rest of this model. 05:25.030 --> 05:27.420 We've got these two lips at the top here. 05:27.670 --> 05:31.600 Then we've got the bishop's hat shall we call it and we've got the little ball on top. 05:31.690 --> 05:34.420 Now the notch itself will come back to that. 05:34.450 --> 05:39.320 But let's go ahead now through a challenge and make the arrest of Archbishop. 05:40.230 --> 05:42.340 Okay guys it's Challenge time. 05:42.360 --> 05:47.820 What I'd like to do if you haven't done already do import the bishop's reference image and scale it 05:47.820 --> 05:52.030 appropriately and move it about then model the rest of the bishop do. 05:52.060 --> 05:53.600 Leave out the notch. 05:53.760 --> 05:58.920 Try out using different techniques we can put loop cuts in there you can extrude things you may have 05:58.920 --> 06:04.870 to delete some things as you go as well and possibly even bridging edge loops that may help you out. 06:05.160 --> 06:11.940 Have fun and do keep the low poly in mind so don't go adding a ton of geometry and use your own artistic 06:11.940 --> 06:14.520 licence as to what details you do include. 06:14.520 --> 06:20.670 Towards the top of the bishop and which ones you don't say pause the video now and go off and create 06:20.670 --> 06:21.460 the bishop. 06:23.860 --> 06:24.170 Okay. 06:24.210 --> 06:24.900 Welcome back. 06:24.900 --> 06:27.250 Let's hop back over into blender. 06:28.240 --> 06:34.410 Everybody welcome back let's go ahead and do that now so the first thing I'm going to do here is decide 06:34.410 --> 06:36.700 what I'm going to do with this ball on top. 06:36.720 --> 06:39.050 In fact to be quite honest I'm going to delete it. 06:39.060 --> 06:41.960 I don't think it's going to add anything to our construction. 06:41.970 --> 06:47.280 I'm going to go to virtex select and select the individual virtex right in the middle at the bottom 06:47.280 --> 06:49.490 and just delete that out of the way. 06:49.590 --> 06:55.920 Now that's separated our mesh out as soon as it's done that so I can select everything here and I've 06:55.920 --> 06:58.340 missed this vertex on the edge and I think that's everything. 06:58.340 --> 07:03.570 So let's just I'm going to with background to the front view and then lift that up only on the z axis 07:03.570 --> 07:05.490 to roughly the right location. 07:05.820 --> 07:09.040 This edge loop around the very top of the neck. 07:09.060 --> 07:12.930 I'm going to clear my selection hold down all out and select the age loop. 07:12.930 --> 07:18.510 I'm just going to verify have selected it by coming and moving my view round ever so slightly and then 07:18.510 --> 07:19.880 going back round. 07:19.890 --> 07:23.740 So now I've got VAT's I can scale that outwards. 07:23.980 --> 07:25.100 That's the pivot point. 07:25.100 --> 07:31.470 It's still scaling around the 3D cursor at this point I do want to change it back to the medium point 07:31.470 --> 07:39.030 because I want to scale it around that part and I can lift that up and move it down and I can start 07:39.030 --> 07:44.160 to extrude out for the next bit and I'm going to do this in a very gross manner. 07:44.160 --> 07:50.730 I'm going to do that entire bit the bottom there and then I'm going to add in an edge loop to deform 07:50.730 --> 07:53.830 it so I'm going to scale that in ever so slightly. 07:53.880 --> 07:59.190 And this edge loopier scale that in ever so slightly and then I'm going to use control and ah to add 07:59.220 --> 08:04.310 in an edge to make sure I get it in the right place roughly there and just scale that out. 08:04.310 --> 08:09.360 So now we've got these two I don't know say lumps but these two bumps coming out. 08:09.360 --> 08:14.340 The next thing I need to do is join this wedge loop in this one together numerous ways you could do 08:14.340 --> 08:14.490 that. 08:14.490 --> 08:16.660 I'm going to bridge my edge loops. 08:16.740 --> 08:22.100 Now we can go through the mesh menu and do edges and bridge edged loops. 08:22.110 --> 08:24.660 But of course we can also use the space menu. 08:24.660 --> 08:27.940 I'm a big fan of the space menu so I'm going to use it now. 08:27.960 --> 08:33.930 Press the space bar while my cursor is in the 3D view and I can start typing in a command. 08:33.930 --> 08:37.640 In this case I've haven't even finished the word bridge and it's there. 08:37.650 --> 08:40.650 And if I press enter it will bridge those edge loops. 08:40.650 --> 08:47.270 Now I can go in select to that edge loop there and change things about ever so slightly I'm unhappy 08:47.310 --> 08:49.980 with the overall shape of this model. 08:49.980 --> 08:52.160 Now that's getting there now. 08:52.170 --> 08:54.300 I think I'm pretty happy with that. 08:54.300 --> 08:57.330 Let's have a look at what it looks like in solid mode as well. 08:57.660 --> 08:58.590 Excellent. 08:58.590 --> 09:01.140 Now we've got that final thing with that ball on top. 09:01.140 --> 09:07.170 I'm going to generate that now as well whilst I'm in the modelling sort of phase and there's a couple 09:07.170 --> 09:08.310 of ways I can go about this. 09:08.310 --> 09:14.820 I'm going to select the virtex on the very top and then I'm going to go and add in. 09:14.850 --> 09:22.450 Oh no I want to shift Ma I want to snaps sorry my thrilly cursor to that point and shift in S and S 09:22.470 --> 09:24.200 cursor to selected. 09:24.270 --> 09:30.960 So now whatever information we generate will be added VAT that mesh state is going to be added at that 09:30.960 --> 09:32.310 particular point. 09:32.320 --> 09:34.410 Now there are a couple of ways I could go about doing this. 09:34.410 --> 09:39.720 Now I've got an eight sided shape here so an eight sided u v sphere would be ideal but I want it all 09:39.720 --> 09:44.870 linked together as one mesh objects rather than separate mesh data in there. 09:45.030 --> 09:51.300 So I'm going to add another loop just around towards the top but not fully at the very top so control 09:51.300 --> 09:55.310 an R let's add in that loop I'm going to bring it up slightly so it's close to this one. 09:55.330 --> 09:59.700 Then again to select this edge loop and once that edge loop is selected I'm going to press the G key 09:59.700 --> 10:07.310 twice and what that enables is edge slide and I can move all the way almost to the top but not quite. 10:07.350 --> 10:13.140 Now I'm going to go ahead and delete that vertex at the very top and then a whiz around to the side 10:13.140 --> 10:21.250 view and add in a u v sphere making sure it's got eight segments and I think four rings. 10:21.300 --> 10:22.370 There we go. 10:22.380 --> 10:28.170 And of course I can scale that down to the appropriate size as well whilst I'm here roughly speaking 10:28.210 --> 10:34.260 as I've been married I can do a lot more editing anyway so now it's like that I can shift it up slightly. 10:34.260 --> 10:40.900 I'm going to make sure it's created shift up slightly on the z axis scale it in a little more. 10:40.950 --> 10:44.540 Move it down so that's roughly in the right place. 10:44.550 --> 10:47.110 Now of course our image doesn't line up perfectly. 10:47.250 --> 10:53.330 So now I can remove the vertex of the bottom of that sphere and then I can mate these two together. 10:53.340 --> 10:57.510 Now there's going to be a couple of ways that I could go ahead and do this and what I'm going to do 10:57.810 --> 11:03.110 is by selecting this top object I'm going to go into wireframe mode to do that. 11:03.140 --> 11:08.970 I'm going to select everything at the very top and then I'm going to shift it down until it snaps with 11:08.970 --> 11:13.850 these vertices some going to have to turn on snapping and turn on vertex. 11:13.860 --> 11:14.570 I could try. 11:14.580 --> 11:20.190 Edge as well but I think vertex is going to be best and would the cursor benefits not on top. 11:20.190 --> 11:22.260 That benefits and then go g. 11:22.300 --> 11:27.460 Z and bring it down and it's pretty much snapped into location now. 11:27.580 --> 11:34.340 I'm going to merge some vertices and sort of weld all of this together so I'm going to select everything. 11:34.420 --> 11:38.810 Select all the vertices around this edge because they're not gonna perfectly match at the moment. 11:38.900 --> 11:40.660 I bring up my space menu. 11:40.660 --> 11:41.400 There we go. 11:41.470 --> 11:47.790 And I'm going to type in remove doubles M O V E K it's not there yet. 11:47.810 --> 11:49.230 There again removed doubles. 11:49.230 --> 11:54.550 That's not going to remove anything yet because if I zoom in we can see that the sizes don't quite match 11:54.550 --> 11:54.900 up. 11:55.030 --> 12:00.920 But what I can do is increase the merge distance slightly until I can see at the top on the info head 12:01.000 --> 12:02.920 removed a vertices. 12:03.280 --> 12:05.660 Okay that's starting to look really nice. 12:05.710 --> 12:11.320 Finally along my edge I'm just going to scale it in just that little bit more bring it down so it's 12:11.350 --> 12:19.570 just the rights sort of aspect and all at this point I'm going to grab that or everything on the top. 12:19.570 --> 12:24.700 In fact border select and lift it up ever so slightly. 12:24.700 --> 12:25.600 There we go. 12:25.600 --> 12:27.100 So that is pretty good. 12:27.100 --> 12:29.020 I like how that's turned out. 12:29.380 --> 12:30.150 Excellent. 12:30.280 --> 12:31.900 That's turned into a nice bishop. 12:31.910 --> 12:34.080 Now I am going to do one final thing here. 12:34.090 --> 12:43.210 That's put a loop cut in around the neck because then I can scale that in ever so slightly and get more 12:43.280 --> 12:48.810 smooth transition between the neck and the top itself. 12:48.970 --> 12:50.620 That's coming along really well. 12:50.830 --> 12:51.230 Excellent. 12:51.250 --> 12:56.300 I'm really happy with that I'm going to ship shift into perspective mode to get a better angle on it. 12:56.470 --> 12:57.460 Excellent. 12:57.550 --> 12:59.000 How are you guys getting on. 12:59.020 --> 13:01.150 Love to see your bishops and how they're coming on. 13:01.150 --> 13:03.850 Did you perhaps construct it in a different way. 13:03.850 --> 13:09.000 Now one of the important things to remember with Blender is there's no right or wrong way of doing things. 13:09.070 --> 13:12.590 You might have been scratching your head and wondering while I would have done it this way. 13:12.630 --> 13:13.400 You know what. 13:13.580 --> 13:15.450 That's absolutely fine. 13:15.460 --> 13:19.070 If you've chosen to take a slightly different workflow then do it. 13:19.090 --> 13:23.560 Whatever you're comfortable with is as long as you get to the end result and it doesn't end up taking 13:23.560 --> 13:24.940 round the houses. 13:24.940 --> 13:25.830 Jobs are good. 13:26.080 --> 13:28.670 And I'll see you all in the next lecture.
