WEBVTT 00:00.330 --> 00:03.830 Welcome back to another quick modelling challenge and that is our king. 00:03.830 --> 00:10.350 So I'd like you to go ahead and create the king I suggest in this case using the queen as a starting 00:10.350 --> 00:12.210 point because we're almost there with it. 00:12.210 --> 00:15.880 We just need to change perhaps put a cross on me. 00:15.930 --> 00:19.730 I want to say hat it's a crown isn't it on the king itself. 00:19.740 --> 00:25.710 Maybe not so spiky so you might want to remove the spites is entirely up to you how you make this king 00:25.710 --> 00:26.300 itself. 00:26.490 --> 00:33.930 So to make the king the right size by our specifications and base size of four to 4.5. 00:33.930 --> 00:38.580 So we're going to be scaling the entire model by one point one to five. 00:38.580 --> 00:42.560 Now you may have to reposition the model on the x y plane. 00:42.870 --> 00:46.290 Should you do this scale because it's likely to scale beneath it. 00:46.320 --> 00:52.410 And finally and alluding to the points made earlier make the king your own and have fun whilst you're 00:52.410 --> 00:53.340 doing it. 00:53.340 --> 00:58.440 The suggestion I'm going to put forward in a few moments is just my way of doing things and you will 00:58.440 --> 00:59.430 have your own. 00:59.430 --> 01:00.550 There's no right or wrong. 01:00.660 --> 01:04.760 Try and keep it in style with the rest of your pieces as grow remember. 01:04.800 --> 01:10.020 We've got an entire board of pieces here and it's great if they kind of match up and look like they're 01:10.020 --> 01:11.620 part of one set. 01:11.650 --> 01:13.990 Pause a video now and give that a go. 01:15.290 --> 01:15.870 Okay guys. 01:15.890 --> 01:16.850 Welcome back. 01:16.850 --> 01:19.560 Let's go and create our king over in blender. 01:21.450 --> 01:26.280 So we're back over in blender with our queen of opened up the no poverty Queen set to make sure that 01:26.280 --> 01:28.770 I don't actually muck around with this model. 01:28.890 --> 01:35.850 I'm going to go straight away and go file save as and change the low poly queen so low poly King and 01:35.850 --> 01:41.760 of course making sure we change the name in the outline as well so our mesh has the right name. 01:41.760 --> 01:42.360 Brilliant. 01:42.510 --> 01:50.430 Okay so now let's have a look at some reference material So let's zoom round to one of the angles and 01:50.430 --> 01:55.050 obviously we've got the queen on show here let's go and change the reference image to a king. 01:55.870 --> 02:01.690 Excellent so we can see that the king is naturally bigger anyway and it's got a slightly different sort 02:01.690 --> 02:03.060 of crown on top. 02:03.190 --> 02:05.850 So on to keep the base relatively the same. 02:05.890 --> 02:10.190 In fact we could just stretch the entire model up to be the right height. 02:10.210 --> 02:17.340 So let's go round to the let's do the scaling right now let's just scale the entire model itself. 02:17.500 --> 02:22.780 So first of all the origins are on the base that's great so if we select our entire model in object 02:22.780 --> 02:29.100 mode and scale it by one point one twenty five let's do it straightaway and it's still on the base. 02:29.110 --> 02:29.970 Brilliant. 02:30.340 --> 02:34.540 Let's hop back over in to the front view and see how that lines up. 02:34.570 --> 02:36.250 Oh that's almost perfect. 02:36.430 --> 02:38.130 So we can do a tiny bit of adjustment. 02:38.130 --> 02:43.570 We're going to leave the base how it is because I really do want to be a chunkier object than the rest 02:43.570 --> 02:46.820 since it is the most important one on the board over in edit mode. 02:46.820 --> 02:52.450 However I'm going to make this crown certainly more in line with our model. 02:52.450 --> 02:57.400 So I've got a bigger top to it's going to grab these three edge and I'm going to grab most of those 02:57.400 --> 03:01.270 bits of edge loops and just bring them down to there. 03:01.630 --> 03:04.020 Okay so now we've got that basis there. 03:04.090 --> 03:08.010 We've got the top of our king row we've got a couple of options here as to what we do. 03:08.140 --> 03:14.830 We can go through and turn on limit selection or turn it off limits selection to invisible. 03:14.910 --> 03:20.770 We've got a couple of options here as to how we go about either removing the geometry that's here or 03:20.770 --> 03:23.190 in fact working with what's here. 03:23.230 --> 03:28.510 So taking that into account of what I'm going to do is I think it's actually going to be easier deleting 03:28.510 --> 03:33.970 everything and starting the top bits afresh some of them go on to border select and highlights the bits 03:33.970 --> 03:35.290 that I want to remove. 03:35.530 --> 03:42.700 And in fact because I've broken edge loops around here the end I'm going to select a bit further than 03:42.730 --> 03:49.090 that and we'll come right down to here and deletes what we still got some other stuff selected. 03:49.090 --> 03:54.130 Good job I spotted that so let's try that third time lucky and we're going to delete the vertices so 03:54.130 --> 03:55.800 these vertical edges also go. 03:55.990 --> 04:01.390 So we've got a great starting point here we're going to go from here and it's going to branch up on 04:01.390 --> 04:08.110 the z axis to about there then it's going to come back in to our little squashed ball on top. 04:09.490 --> 04:10.110 Brilliant. 04:10.270 --> 04:15.870 So now we've got that we can scale this edge loop out to make the top of our king. 04:15.880 --> 04:16.550 Brilliant. 04:16.750 --> 04:23.430 And this one's going to be scaled in quite a lot so let's just scale that one all the way in almost 04:23.440 --> 04:24.390 to nothing. 04:24.520 --> 04:28.120 But we'll sort that out when we place this little ball on top. 04:28.150 --> 04:32.510 So let's place the 3-d cursor roughly around where we want it. 04:33.610 --> 04:34.260 She's there. 04:34.270 --> 04:39.060 And then change its position so x and y both equals zero. 04:39.280 --> 04:40.270 Perfect. 04:40.450 --> 04:46.980 So now we're going to add a u v sphere of the same number of segments as before. 04:46.980 --> 04:49.820 So we're going to add a mesh euv Sphere. 04:50.170 --> 04:53.950 It does actually need to be a separate object so we'll go ahead and make it a separate object. 04:53.950 --> 04:58.100 In a moment we're going to have eight segments and four of those. 04:58.120 --> 04:58.800 Brilliant. 04:59.110 --> 05:05.690 So what we need to do here just to make sure that it matches up is separate it by selection whilst it's 05:05.690 --> 05:07.120 sylves Selected. 05:07.120 --> 05:12.880 And I'm not going to bother renaming it because we can simply we're going to merge back in a few moments 05:12.910 --> 05:13.850 anyway. 05:14.200 --> 05:17.580 So let's scale that in so it's approximately the right size app. 05:17.740 --> 05:25.600 So it's because we built it as a new mesh object with in our current object is added it in the origin 05:25.600 --> 05:30.190 for it's way down at the bottom of the screen which is no good. 05:30.190 --> 05:32.650 However we don't need to redo the origin. 05:32.710 --> 05:36.540 In this case what we can do is change the pivot points. 05:36.550 --> 05:43.390 So next to the viewport shading we've got a box here so we can actually change the pivot point to 3D 05:43.390 --> 05:48.280 cursor which is brilliant in one case because that saves us a load of Faffing about moving something 05:48.280 --> 05:49.780 that's only temporary. 05:49.780 --> 05:55.090 So on a scale that inserts approximately the right size and then begin to scale it again but this time 05:55.090 --> 05:59.650 only on the z axis so I'll be squishing it a bit flatter. 05:59.680 --> 06:00.190 There we go. 06:00.190 --> 06:02.860 So that's got the shape and then again going to scale it. 06:02.860 --> 06:08.170 But this time excluding just me that bit wider for the base of our King itself. 06:08.260 --> 06:14.650 And now I'm just going to combine the two together with a Boolean operation and I'm going to make it 06:14.650 --> 06:15.880 a union. 06:16.120 --> 06:18.820 And with the king itself. 06:19.430 --> 06:20.210 There we go. 06:20.240 --> 06:22.620 That's done once we've clicked apply. 06:22.760 --> 06:25.210 Now one of these we want and one of them we don't want. 06:25.250 --> 06:32.450 So we don't want the low poly Kings 0 0 1 which is the one we've just created and now we've got the 06:32.450 --> 06:38.630 rest of our model on top here and we've got a cross on top of our king here. 06:38.630 --> 06:43.290 Now I'm going to make my cross a little more rudimentary than the one we've got here. 06:43.730 --> 06:48.080 Just to save me a bit of time and also I don't want it too complex because if I make it too complex 06:48.080 --> 06:50.490 it won't be in keeping with the rest of our model. 06:50.750 --> 06:56.820 So then I hop back over into edit mode and select these faces running around. 06:56.900 --> 07:00.220 Well let's turn visible off again. 07:01.280 --> 07:03.620 Select these faces running around here. 07:03.800 --> 07:07.530 Let come pull that up to give us something to work with. 07:08.230 --> 07:09.050 Excellent. 07:09.840 --> 07:16.510 Let's zoom out and check that for proportions zoom background to the front and away of saying zoom perhaps. 07:16.560 --> 07:17.420 I mean Wiz. 07:17.660 --> 07:17.910 OK. 07:17.940 --> 07:22.220 So we've got that now and we can I'm going to make a slightly different type of cross. 07:22.230 --> 07:29.470 I think on mine I'm going to use that as the INS and outs but we need a pivot point in the middle and 07:29.470 --> 07:36.750 we can do that with a loop cuts so we decide where the loop cuts are going if I want to make this vertical 07:36.750 --> 07:37.810 to begin with. 07:37.920 --> 07:39.470 So let's all. 07:40.320 --> 07:42.360 Let's put a loop cut in. 07:43.690 --> 07:50.230 Pull it down to about here and then scale that back in itself so we've still got this sort of dome shape. 07:50.230 --> 07:55.990 Now want this and this one here to kind of just make a straight line for the moment. 07:55.990 --> 08:02.090 So I'm going to select that top edge loop and go and scale it. 08:02.970 --> 08:04.740 Do it by eye instead. 08:04.740 --> 08:06.420 That would be absolutely fine. 08:06.420 --> 08:07.220 There we go. 08:07.380 --> 08:12.090 So we've got our model here and it's just a matter of putting a couple of loop cuts in. 08:12.210 --> 08:15.320 In fact I should put two in at the same time. 08:16.420 --> 08:24.040 Whilst I'm working on it do I want three or two or even four probably four to keep the shape that I 08:24.040 --> 08:24.950 wants. 08:26.050 --> 08:28.260 And I don't want to be too detailed. 08:28.270 --> 08:31.990 But at the same time I don't want to lose too much. 08:31.980 --> 08:37.010 Even so let's pull this one out slightly to make one bit of Vic cross. 08:37.100 --> 08:42.020 And we only want the scale on the x y axis so that's that bit there. 08:42.020 --> 08:47.980 In fact we could scale this bottom one and the top one at the same time. 08:47.980 --> 08:49.370 That would help us massive late. 08:49.420 --> 08:52.320 If I can get the right edge loops selected. 08:52.330 --> 08:55.440 In fact if I hold down the right button it helps as well. 08:55.750 --> 09:01.730 Okay so we're going to scale that on we're not on the z axis and pull those out there. 09:01.750 --> 09:06.480 I'm going to add another loop cut just at the top if I can if it's going to let me. 09:06.730 --> 09:10.080 Sometimes it can be a bit fiddly to try and get the right place. 09:13.560 --> 09:19.530 So let's undo those bits that I'm happy with this bit sticking out here so we just want recross coming 09:19.530 --> 09:28.030 out basically from this centerpointe or these centrepointe here so let's select this face here. 09:29.260 --> 09:33.400 And these faces here they are opposite one another. 09:33.420 --> 09:34.670 Yes yes they are. 09:34.920 --> 09:38.390 And let's just grab them and pull them about. 09:38.400 --> 09:44.820 Well we need to change the pivot points not around there but these individual origins then I'll be able 09:44.820 --> 09:50.220 to pull that area out which is perfect that alone would do it too far. 09:50.610 --> 09:51.600 Excellent. 09:51.600 --> 09:59.210 Now this we're going to have to add a nother edge looping around here and scale that out. 10:00.090 --> 10:02.200 And probably another edge loop at the top. 10:03.490 --> 10:06.740 Lift it up a little and scale that out. 10:09.620 --> 10:10.820 So kind of like that. 10:10.930 --> 10:15.670 And then finally these edges here and here. 10:16.110 --> 10:21.680 Now I do want to just give the top one separately from the bottom ones so let's grab those. 10:21.720 --> 10:25.960 And I'm going to move them by I take note of the number. 10:26.320 --> 10:30.140 So that looks roughly right and that's about minus point eight. 10:31.040 --> 10:33.740 Oh no it's not nor take perhaps. 10:33.740 --> 10:34.440 There we go. 10:34.670 --> 10:36.870 And this one will be plus. 10:36.920 --> 10:42.170 So this go round the also has a lot of experimentation to be done when you're making a model especially 10:42.230 --> 10:43.460 when you're not quite sure. 10:43.500 --> 10:47.310 And you wanted to look and let's move that in the z axis again. 10:47.330 --> 10:51.910 By this time point not point nought eight again. 10:52.460 --> 10:52.980 Okay. 10:53.000 --> 10:54.740 So I quite like that. 10:54.760 --> 10:59.000 Actually it's been accidental I didn't mean to make these two things at the top but it turned out okay. 10:59.000 --> 11:00.450 At the end. 11:00.710 --> 11:03.070 Let's have a look at it in rendered mode. 11:03.260 --> 11:07.640 And the other question I have is do I want this cross on the top any bigger. 11:07.640 --> 11:08.900 In this case no. 11:08.900 --> 11:10.640 I'm quite happy with that. 11:10.640 --> 11:13.290 I'd love to see what you guys came up with your king. 11:13.460 --> 11:18.740 So please share in the discussions going to make sure I say this now please share in these discussions 11:18.770 --> 11:21.030 and I will see you in the next lecture.
