WEBVTT 00:01.290 --> 00:04.200 Welcome to the basic sculpting solution video. 00:04.440 --> 00:11.580 In this video you will see my solution to the define your bunny shape challenge in the last lecture. 00:11.820 --> 00:16.620 So let's quickly remind ourselves of that challenge which was defining your bunny shape. 00:16.830 --> 00:20.650 Hopefully you've gone through you've had lots of fun whilst this is happening. 00:20.880 --> 00:28.360 And let's hop straight on over into blender and define my bunny shape so let's hop back to our. 00:28.370 --> 00:31.260 I love these hop references with the bunny don't you. 00:31.260 --> 00:37.390 Let's hop back to our fluffy bunny and the first thing I'm going to do is actually add in some ears. 00:37.650 --> 00:44.550 So I'm going to place the 3-d cursor on the head roughly in the position I want to generate a bit of 00:44.550 --> 00:52.870 geometry I think let's stop thinking let's go back to our reference material hop around to our. 00:54.320 --> 00:55.290 Other way. 00:55.500 --> 00:56.050 Control. 00:56.050 --> 00:56.820 There we go. 00:57.110 --> 01:01.580 So the is emanate from somewhere around here and roughly at the back of a head. 01:01.580 --> 01:02.260 Perfect. 01:02.270 --> 01:10.760 So I'm going to add in this case a plane I'm going to rotate round on the x axis to roughly the right 01:10.820 --> 01:13.340 angle and scale it in. 01:14.340 --> 01:15.780 So again it's roughly the right size. 01:15.780 --> 01:21.720 Now I'm going to want to scale it in on its own axis x axis as well by the looks of it. 01:21.720 --> 01:25.350 So scale X. So make it a bit flat. 01:25.890 --> 01:31.610 So they're going to pull them in sitting all the way inside our model. 01:31.620 --> 01:35.690 And then I'm going to extrude it up in its own said axis. 01:35.700 --> 01:36.300 In a moment. 01:36.300 --> 01:41.020 So let's go into edit mode and extrude. 01:41.250 --> 01:43.300 In fact that's probably right. 01:45.870 --> 01:48.430 Why frame off. 01:48.540 --> 01:52.320 Well I say that's probably right that's probably massive. 01:53.820 --> 01:54.670 There it go. 01:54.900 --> 01:58.170 So I can rotate that top. 01:58.180 --> 02:04.110 But again on the x axis perfect pulled it up slightly and pull it up. 02:04.110 --> 02:10.750 I'm going to add a loop cuts in the middle here and again scale that outwards. 02:12.870 --> 02:15.580 That's probably made a bit thickness there. 02:16.050 --> 02:16.770 Okay. 02:18.450 --> 02:25.650 Scale back in on the x axis only to make it in again this top it's going to want to be thin anyway so 02:25.650 --> 02:32.280 I'm going to select the face and scale it in on the x axis to make thin ought not push it through one 02:32.280 --> 02:32.810 another. 02:32.880 --> 02:33.810 Okay. 02:33.900 --> 02:40.980 Now this whole top area here I'm going to turn this toggle off limiting selection to visibility so I 02:40.990 --> 02:42.810 can go through my model. 02:42.810 --> 02:49.110 If I wanted to but with that face selected I'm going to pull it over slightly to the side just a little 02:49.140 --> 02:55.840 and I'm going to do the same with this area here so I'm going to use border select to select all the 02:55.840 --> 02:57.070 that top area. 02:57.360 --> 03:01.520 And I'm going to selected something I don't want to select actually. 03:02.580 --> 03:05.630 It's clear my selection select. 03:09.640 --> 03:13.170 It's turned back on board a select and they're selected the face. 03:13.190 --> 03:16.400 Let's go to virtex select and that will eliminate that problem. 03:22.100 --> 03:22.700 Excellent. 03:22.700 --> 03:25.600 And just push that bit over as well. 03:25.940 --> 03:32.000 And probably just select the top here and again this is probably me delving a bit too much into detail. 03:32.000 --> 03:33.030 That's fine. 03:33.050 --> 03:35.860 I'm going to select in object mode. 03:35.870 --> 03:37.440 Both are models. 03:38.420 --> 03:42.590 So then I'm just going to duplicate that has got two ears rather than one so I'm going to use a mere 03:42.600 --> 03:43.620 remodify. 03:44.910 --> 03:45.540 Excellent. 03:45.540 --> 03:52.710 And it's going around the point of origin now I don't want the point of origin to be there I want it 03:52.710 --> 03:54.690 to be at 0 0 0. 03:54.720 --> 04:00.110 So with that in mind let's our mirror object. 04:00.180 --> 04:04.820 If I said it the rabbit itself which is still called metal ball. 04:05.070 --> 04:08.970 So sort that out and apply that's there we go. 04:08.970 --> 04:10.220 That's that's better. 04:10.320 --> 04:11.350 Or a rabbit. 04:11.370 --> 04:14.210 Big is that I can model a bit more detail in a moment. 04:14.490 --> 04:19.070 Let's all already add a subdivision surface modifier. 04:19.320 --> 04:19.860 There we go. 04:19.860 --> 04:21.280 It's already looking a bit better now. 04:21.300 --> 04:22.810 Crank it up by one. 04:23.950 --> 04:25.770 Excellent. 04:25.870 --> 04:33.500 And a lie and go got some curvy bunny is now going to select this top one and the bottom one and merge 04:33.520 --> 04:35.930 them together into one object. 04:35.950 --> 04:40.600 And I'm going to call that rabbits of course because it doesn't have a name at the moment. 04:40.660 --> 04:46.120 Excellent so let's get on to sculpting itself so I'm going to frickin to sculpt mode. 04:47.250 --> 04:48.200 And. 04:49.630 --> 04:56.120 Probably going to subtract first of all around the neck area and then it's just going to go round. 04:56.110 --> 04:57.770 Here is symmetry turned on. 04:57.820 --> 05:06.160 Yes Attis and low my strength a little but widen the brush that's a bit too big because I can zoom in 05:06.160 --> 05:07.100 and say well let's. 05:07.110 --> 05:09.890 I need to tidy up my screen so I can see more. 05:10.360 --> 05:11.320 Pull that across. 05:11.320 --> 05:12.640 I should be fine with that. 05:12.640 --> 05:15.830 They're okay so let's go through here. 05:17.230 --> 05:21.540 It's red tape round that's a bit of a hollow in the back of the neck. 05:24.010 --> 05:27.530 That's probably a little too much at the front so that's go and add. 05:31.390 --> 05:34.150 Now the devil is in the detail when it comes to this. 05:34.150 --> 05:38.390 I'm unhappy with the general body shape so let's focus on the head now. 05:38.410 --> 05:44.320 We're going to have to have a lovely little face here someone going to go to the front for you which 05:44.320 --> 05:49.130 will be control and one for me and turn our. 05:49.910 --> 05:51.600 Image off the back. 05:51.750 --> 05:55.020 I'm going to do a very caricature of a mouth. 05:55.030 --> 05:56.600 It's probably quite accurate as well. 05:56.600 --> 06:01.160 I'm going to subtract because I'm going to be pushing into our model and going any dynamics apology 06:01.190 --> 06:07.160 going on since we've got a lot of detail being made here I'm going to go back into object mode and set 06:07.160 --> 06:12.820 the shading as smooth go back into sculped mode. 06:12.920 --> 06:14.840 K I'm going to need a much smaller brush. 06:14.840 --> 06:18.570 I'm going to make it much smaller and zoom in a little way here. 06:18.590 --> 06:25.640 Now I'm going to define the rabbit's nose mouth as well and I do need symmetry turned on and are fine 06:25.640 --> 06:26.090 straight. 06:26.090 --> 06:31.080 Find out straight away of symmetry is turned on it's enabled dynamic top ology. 06:31.300 --> 06:32.940 I think this is the middle of our model. 06:34.110 --> 06:35.400 Yes it is. 06:35.400 --> 06:37.110 So I'm going to put a straight line down here. 06:37.110 --> 06:44.790 And of course your version of your bunny you can do it how you like and then increase the strength a 06:44.790 --> 06:45.220 little. 06:45.240 --> 06:47.530 So you want this well defined. 06:47.580 --> 06:50.590 Now the nose is something like that. 06:55.550 --> 06:58.050 And the mouse is almost the reverse of that. 06:58.070 --> 07:02.210 And of course I've learned how to jaw rabbits from my stuffed teddy when I was little. 07:02.210 --> 07:03.350 How about that. 07:03.950 --> 07:10.370 Okay enough of my teddies and then see how that looks. 07:10.520 --> 07:12.850 That might be a bit Big actually on our rabbit. 07:12.860 --> 07:15.640 But you know what I'm going to leave it like that. 07:15.670 --> 07:18.770 Let's give it more of a nose as well. 07:18.770 --> 07:24.040 So let's bring up the size of the brush a bit lower. 07:24.320 --> 07:28.310 One of the great things about using the short is you can see how big the brush is actually going to 07:28.310 --> 07:29.640 be life. 07:29.660 --> 07:36.240 I don't want the strength too high but I need to start defining the nose a little more. 07:37.390 --> 07:41.630 That we might want a bigger brush here and smooth that out. 07:45.220 --> 07:46.620 Lesson learnt here. 07:48.820 --> 07:52.160 That's eating away at my changes down here but that's fine. 07:55.370 --> 07:59.560 So I've actually had a brief look at. 08:00.810 --> 08:07.920 A skeleton of a bunny and it doesn't look a thing like what I'm doing here that smooth that out a little 08:08.400 --> 08:09.490 and around there. 08:09.570 --> 08:15.180 Yes we do need a little bit of a dimple in there starting to come together. 08:15.210 --> 08:17.000 Probably a little strong. 08:17.070 --> 08:18.380 Half the problem. 08:21.030 --> 08:21.480 Okay. 08:21.540 --> 08:25.400 And I'm going to smooth some detail around the neck as well. 08:28.530 --> 08:29.130 Excellent. 08:29.130 --> 08:31.290 So that's starting to come together really well. 08:31.290 --> 08:32.660 Now the position of the eyes. 08:32.670 --> 08:33.730 Let's get this accurate. 08:33.730 --> 08:41.260 It's always round here and turn my reference on the eye is there and I'm literally going to do a subtract 08:41.260 --> 08:46.660 at full strength and I'm just going to get the brush roughly the right size. 08:46.710 --> 08:48.250 So let's go in. 08:50.000 --> 08:50.960 There we go. 08:51.310 --> 08:54.460 And I'm just going to draw a round and round in a circle. 08:55.680 --> 08:59.870 To give us the eye sockets that we can work on. 08:59.990 --> 09:07.260 Now of course that looks quite rough there at the moment and you can go round it and smooth it out. 09:10.370 --> 09:15.670 I don't like that at all so let's come back a little more and just do that again. 09:17.340 --> 09:20.240 That's probably not happening here is enough detail. 09:20.580 --> 09:22.090 So I've zoomed right in. 09:22.110 --> 09:27.340 So now we're going to have much more detail when we come in to fill our model in. 09:27.360 --> 09:30.640 And of course that will go down to a certain level. 09:34.050 --> 09:39.080 Then we can click again and found when increase my breast size ever so slightly and undo that last bit. 09:39.240 --> 09:42.660 You'll find yourself undoing lots whilst you're doing this. 09:42.660 --> 09:44.760 Do not worry about it. 09:44.880 --> 09:48.130 There's no perfect way of doing this. 09:48.270 --> 09:54.510 And literally the amount of time you spend doing it will be proportional to the detail that you can 09:54.510 --> 09:56.400 actually put into your model. 09:56.400 --> 09:57.540 It's as simple as that. 09:57.550 --> 10:02.790 The more and more detail you want the longer it will take of course you've got to be careful not to 10:02.790 --> 10:09.030 go too over the top with detail because that's where most of us get caught in drawn in and sucked into 10:09.510 --> 10:17.280 making our models because we end up spending far too much time on the model itself instead of where 10:17.280 --> 10:19.080 the detail actually matters. 10:19.080 --> 10:24.210 And I think this whole is in in the bunny's skull is probably deep enough. 10:24.210 --> 10:27.460 Now let's hop out and see and go around. 10:27.490 --> 10:28.950 Yeah that's absolutely fine. 10:28.950 --> 10:34.460 Now I'm going to turn the strength down as I apply smoothing not zero but a little bit more. 10:34.590 --> 10:40.250 So I just want the area around the eye to be much smoother than that. 10:40.290 --> 10:45.570 So let's go round here and just smooth out the details around here. 10:45.780 --> 10:49.350 So that will make the recess not so big in there. 10:49.350 --> 10:50.170 Perfect. 10:50.360 --> 10:54.080 Then I'd make the brush size just a little small and go around the edge here. 10:54.240 --> 10:57.520 So it's not quite so disastrous. 10:57.760 --> 11:05.520 Kate I don't like this little bit here so we can go back to AD and start adding some stuff back in. 11:05.520 --> 11:06.830 That's absolutely fine. 11:09.310 --> 11:14.560 Moving that house a nice big eye there and whilst I'm here I mean that's that's there. 11:14.560 --> 11:18.170 But we can actually model a rough in place. 11:19.920 --> 11:27.420 So out of sculped mode into object mode I'm going to click there with the 3-d cursor and add ourselves 11:27.510 --> 11:29.430 an eye as well. 11:30.600 --> 11:33.600 Well that's a big big player in. 11:34.780 --> 11:35.660 There we go. 11:35.780 --> 11:40.940 And I'm going to rotate that around so the pole is facing outwards. 11:41.050 --> 11:43.200 So that would be along the y axis. 11:44.160 --> 11:45.070 There we go. 11:47.360 --> 11:48.920 That looks okay to me. 11:48.980 --> 11:56.240 So let's have a quick look around the model and see some areas that we can focus on a little more now 11:56.270 --> 12:02.090 looking at the IS themselves we can actually go and sort some of that out as well. 12:02.090 --> 12:06.410 I'm always conscious of the time I've got in these lectures to show you what's going on. 12:06.410 --> 12:11.570 I've got another five minutes or so so let's crack on and do some modelling with those ears. 12:11.930 --> 12:18.440 Okay so when you spend a bit more time on it you can define a bit more of your model here and you can 12:18.440 --> 12:24.270 see I've gone into a bit more detail around the is itself I've pushed in. 12:24.300 --> 12:25.600 Oh have just clicked. 12:25.700 --> 12:30.620 I just pushed in this area here and help redefine where the mouth is et cetera. 12:30.830 --> 12:34.580 Completely referring to the reference material again. 12:34.580 --> 12:39.530 So one thing I noticed with my reference to in fact looking again I made perhaps a bit too hollow around 12:39.530 --> 12:46.790 here but I did notice that the nose here kind of comes to a point and mine didn't it came to a blob 12:47.420 --> 12:47.980 at the end. 12:47.990 --> 12:50.690 That helps to find the nose a bit better again. 12:51.200 --> 12:57.350 Do bear in mind that the fur itself is being added on top of this mesh so you don't need a super detailed 12:57.350 --> 12:58.830 mesh at the moment. 12:58.970 --> 13:05.390 I can see here that I probably want my ears to be much bigger as well and I'm going to use a proportional 13:05.420 --> 13:11.510 editing tool in a moment in order to just move this knows about the thing it needs lifting up ever so 13:11.510 --> 13:12.200 slightly. 13:12.380 --> 13:16.510 So I'm going to go ahead and go to edit mode. 13:16.670 --> 13:18.010 Wow there's a lot of geometry there. 13:18.020 --> 13:20.630 I'm just going to dissect everything for the moment. 13:20.630 --> 13:26.940 I'm going to select one of these things on the front arm to turn off this see through our model malarkey. 13:27.140 --> 13:32.960 And I'm just going to circle select to select a group of staff at the front of the nose it doesn't really 13:32.960 --> 13:41.450 matter in this case which ones I've selected and then I go to move those but I'm going to use that proportional 13:41.540 --> 13:42.410 editing tool. 13:42.400 --> 13:53.480 So let's turn proportional editing enabled memory go and let's make it nice and big so we can move our 13:53.480 --> 13:54.610 model. 13:54.920 --> 13:56.120 That's quite useful. 13:56.210 --> 14:00.850 In fact we can move a lot of our model if we wanted to which we don't want to. 14:01.070 --> 14:04.970 We just want to move a much smaller area and points up slightly. 14:04.970 --> 14:07.780 But I do need to be in the right for you to do this. 14:07.790 --> 14:13.310 So now I've got VAT's with proportional editing on I'm going to grab it and make sure it's only moving 14:13.310 --> 14:19.610 in the z axis up and down and you can see I can raise it up to roughly the right place and I'm going 14:19.610 --> 14:21.620 to pull it out ever so slightly. 14:21.800 --> 14:23.600 Then I can do a very similar thing. 14:23.600 --> 14:28.820 So this is almost like sculpting again but in a different way we're actually just using proportional 14:28.820 --> 14:35.180 editing to control a model angle to select this area here on ARM model again and whiz around back to 14:35.180 --> 14:38.940 the side after selecting that area. 14:38.950 --> 14:43.030 If I'm right and I'm going to move it again but this time. 14:44.060 --> 14:48.180 Down ever so slightly now because we're locked to this plane. 14:48.190 --> 14:53.990 We should be absolutely fine it shouldn't move in the x axis at all. 14:54.110 --> 14:55.270 Perfect. 14:55.280 --> 15:01.510 Now this fluffy area here I am not too worried about that because we can add that fluff later on the. 15:01.520 --> 15:04.700 Is themselves let's have a look at the years. 15:04.890 --> 15:08.000 So let's spin round and go up here. 15:08.790 --> 15:13.490 Okay so I'm going to say D select what's currently got selected. 15:13.530 --> 15:14.350 Excellent. 15:14.550 --> 15:18.680 And go around to the side view again and use. 15:19.560 --> 15:20.470 Border select. 15:20.480 --> 15:28.290 Just select the top of a I once the top of that area on both so limits a selection to visible turned 15:28.380 --> 15:35.450 off round to the side and let's just select the very top of those is brilliant. 15:35.700 --> 15:41.340 And then we can move those up and because proportional editing is turned on it will do everything and 15:41.340 --> 15:45.320 using the scroll wheel we can change the size of that pocket there. 15:46.980 --> 15:50.840 Let's see how that looks now much bigger is much better. 15:50.840 --> 15:51.600 Perfect. 15:51.680 --> 15:55.590 Let's whiz round and object those who can see what we've got here. 15:56.000 --> 15:56.510 Excellent. 15:56.510 --> 15:58.040 How did you guys get on. 15:58.040 --> 16:00.920 I'd love to see your bunny rabbits and see how they're coming on. 16:00.920 --> 16:04.450 Did you go for a more caricature of bunny rabbits. 16:04.580 --> 16:11.010 Please share in discussions how you got on what you created and I will see you
