WEBVTT 00:00.270 --> 00:04.110 Welcome to complex shapes and you ve mapping. 00:04.800 --> 00:09.130 In this video you will have a quick tour around my church fault. 00:09.180 --> 00:14.460 It is by far the most complex model that I've got in my entire scene. 00:14.900 --> 00:20.020 And we'll see the challenges that we can have with more complex models. 00:20.070 --> 00:26.550 We'll go ahead and troubleshoot some common unwrapping issues that you may run into and work out ways 00:26.550 --> 00:30.210 to make an unwrapped easier and quicker. 00:30.300 --> 00:32.890 So let's hop straight on over in a blender. 00:34.750 --> 00:40.020 So the Volt just to remind you guys is the bit that we haven't really done anything with yet. 00:40.180 --> 00:43.660 There are several of them in the scene here as recency. 00:43.710 --> 00:45.430 There are a few issues. 00:45.430 --> 00:47.380 They overlap one another. 00:47.710 --> 00:50.720 There's some strange edges poking out of them as well. 00:50.740 --> 00:52.970 Have to have a look at that in time. 00:52.990 --> 00:55.030 It's come together really well. 00:55.060 --> 00:58.930 But it's starting to look out of place and a little plane. 00:58.930 --> 01:04.660 So we could probably do with ah probably not this texture but we can slap that one in any way just to 01:04.660 --> 01:12.070 give it a similar feel even if it's scaled slightly different maybe it's certainly going over the top 01:12.130 --> 01:13.430 of itself here. 01:13.570 --> 01:19.090 And in general I don't think it's suitable at the moment for just unwrapping. 01:19.210 --> 01:23.330 So let's go open the file up and have a closer look at it. 01:26.020 --> 01:33.400 Okay so here is the church vault itself and I will first of all just take you through how it's constructed 01:33.430 --> 01:37.310 because what you're seeing here is the end result and that's not very helpful. 01:37.330 --> 01:43.960 In fact I'm going to probably have to go back from the end result any way and re make some of it but 01:43.960 --> 01:45.010 that's fine. 01:45.420 --> 01:47.980 That's sometimes something we have to do. 01:48.010 --> 01:51.130 So it's going to turn on all my layers as well. 01:51.130 --> 01:54.020 So I've got something else turned on somewhere. 01:54.160 --> 01:54.730 There we go. 01:54.910 --> 02:01.420 So the whole thing started with the elodie a which was a very simple is looking funny there because 02:01.420 --> 02:06.430 I got back face Cowing turned on some was going to turn that off for the sake of trying to show you 02:06.430 --> 02:07.180 stuff. 02:09.200 --> 02:17.650 So I constructed this basic Voltz and then used it as a basis for some curved base geometry. 02:17.650 --> 02:21.330 So I've gone ahead and created that curve. 02:21.350 --> 02:23.980 There you can see it's more of a square than a curve. 02:23.990 --> 02:30.500 But that makes it easier to model with it as well because I can link things to this midpoint in between. 02:30.500 --> 02:35.690 And then I made one going the other way and this one looks a bit different but it's not that different. 02:35.690 --> 02:39.480 It's just got smooth shading applied to it. 02:39.480 --> 02:42.800 And then I went ahead and did some other things on top. 02:42.800 --> 02:50.670 I put some fake bits where the pillars would go to start to build a tarp and. 02:52.000 --> 02:52.530 Yeah. 02:52.580 --> 02:58.150 That's it basically and then I skin I joined all these bits together and started skinning if we go to 02:58.150 --> 03:00.350 the actual mesh itself. 03:00.640 --> 03:03.030 Hallett's Turn Off these other bits. 03:03.390 --> 03:08.660 We go to the mesh itself and turn on flat shading certainly helps to see what's going on. 03:08.890 --> 03:17.650 I then went ahead and all I got some more stuff turned on here I'm just going to turn off the length 03:17.710 --> 03:20.580 and I must have been measuring something at some point. 03:20.680 --> 03:25.210 So the whole part is only this one quarter. 03:25.210 --> 03:27.660 And as you can see it's them mirrored. 03:28.300 --> 03:29.320 To get it. 03:30.020 --> 03:32.140 To get these other pieces out. 03:33.580 --> 03:41.950 Now looking at the model itself you can see that the original arch ways are here and here and under 03:41.950 --> 03:43.530 here as well. 03:43.690 --> 03:51.210 The reason you can't see some of the other bits if we go into wireframe you can see the original arches 03:51.280 --> 03:52.140 the ribs. 03:52.150 --> 03:53.080 I'm going to call the ribs. 03:53.080 --> 03:53.710 There we go. 03:53.830 --> 03:55.520 That make up this and this. 03:55.570 --> 03:57.790 There are simply faces on top of them. 03:57.850 --> 04:00.730 So give it ace top and bottom surface. 04:00.940 --> 04:10.930 So now that I've got all of this sort of laid out one of the problems with a u v is well if I try and 04:11.050 --> 04:17.910 utilize this so I then condense that down in so this. 04:19.490 --> 04:21.230 I mean that it so I can't hide it. 04:21.250 --> 04:28.120 This final model here which isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination but it's a good halfway 04:28.120 --> 04:35.110 house at the moment and it's not very suitable for unwrapping Let's see what happens if we try letting 04:35.110 --> 04:42.430 blender do it for us so we can see the impacts of having a more complex model and we can go into some 04:42.520 --> 04:45.010 details in a moment of other things we can do. 04:45.010 --> 04:46.710 So we've got renda result here. 04:46.720 --> 04:52.150 I'm just going to clear that's going to select it and go into edit monas still got those length items 04:52.150 --> 04:59.490 turned on amrullah Select everything unwrap an umbrella you gonna glue unwrapping of you smart you reproject. 05:01.090 --> 05:02.390 Wow look at that. 05:03.180 --> 05:07.790 Now whilst there is a unwrap it's not very usable. 05:07.800 --> 05:11.970 I don't know which bits which And I'd have to do a lot of cross references. 05:12.510 --> 05:16.480 So this model is too complicated for a basic smarts. 05:16.500 --> 05:18.080 You ve unwrap. 05:18.150 --> 05:20.660 In fact it's too complicated. 05:20.730 --> 05:22.210 Just full stop. 05:22.260 --> 05:26.180 If we just get rid of the movie image editor for a moment. 05:26.370 --> 05:32.940 This is made up of actually more than one component these windows and the window frame itself so this 05:32.940 --> 05:40.740 area here that's doesn't need to be a part of the main model that can be a separate item and that will 05:40.740 --> 05:42.750 make it both easier too. 05:51.830 --> 05:59.890 You ve unwrap in the first place and also when making the vault and introducing it to the main church 06:00.130 --> 06:03.130 I can put windows where there need to be Windows. 06:03.130 --> 06:08.500 The other thing that stood out especially on the Gothic church go see this insitu because we need to 06:08.500 --> 06:15.740 be lean about it not just talk about it abstractly so we have the. 06:15.760 --> 06:20.560 Let's just go in here and just have a look at the aisles and naves. 06:20.560 --> 06:22.970 Nothing else on here now. 06:22.990 --> 06:30.970 One of the issues with this particular model at the moment is that these bits going across these braces 06:30.970 --> 06:33.220 if you will don't really make any sense. 06:33.220 --> 06:37.210 They make sense to me when I was putting the window frame in as the base of the window. 06:37.210 --> 06:43.480 But I didn't really conceive how what would happen if I put all of these bits together and one of the 06:43.480 --> 06:53.020 problems that I run into is when we go a long and let's find the transects and put that back on. 06:53.050 --> 06:55.180 Well let's just enable everything else. 06:55.180 --> 07:00.250 You see that the windows facing this way and we need another window here and that's going to be pretty 07:00.250 --> 07:03.890 difficult to do without a separate window piece to go in. 07:03.910 --> 07:07.990 So there's another reason why the window piece needs to be separate. 07:08.020 --> 07:14.110 Now it's worth bearing in mind at the moment that this bit on the end is a customized piece and so's 07:14.440 --> 07:16.070 this one over here. 07:16.120 --> 07:19.880 Or is that just a scaled version that might be a scaled version. 07:20.140 --> 07:22.740 But this is completely customized. 07:22.930 --> 07:27.340 Which means that any changes I make to these ones will not come across to here. 07:27.440 --> 07:33.100 Some men might have to rebuild that but that's not a problem because that was a very quick scale in 07:33.100 --> 07:36.830 this direction and then put it all back together again. 07:36.840 --> 07:42.500 You see it doesn't quite line any way so needs to have some more stuff done to it. 07:42.610 --> 07:46.410 So what can we do to our faults to make it better. 07:46.650 --> 07:55.610 One of the things we can do is to separate out the things that we don't want as part of the main model. 07:55.650 --> 08:01.810 We could go so far as to separate out the rips and then separate out the roof and then separate out 08:01.810 --> 08:07.870 this that and the other that might be a bit over the top but certainly the main vault itself the support 08:07.870 --> 08:15.250 pillars and the roof or the ceiling depending which way of looking at it they are definitely all one 08:15.280 --> 08:16.180 item. 08:16.180 --> 08:22.210 The window itself is a separate item and so it should be a separate mesh object as well. 08:22.210 --> 08:27.490 In fact I can call it elodie B vault window to be explicit about it. 08:27.610 --> 08:29.670 So I'm going to have to re. 08:29.740 --> 08:31.660 Well redo this separate them out. 08:31.660 --> 08:39.310 Fortunately I kept the old data a duplicated it before solidifying it down to one mesh object. 08:39.310 --> 08:42.850 Turns out that's not ideal in this situation. 08:42.850 --> 08:49.630 The other thing that I didn't realize at the time of course is these pet these volpe's share the same 08:49.630 --> 08:52.460 place when we've got more than one of them. 08:52.540 --> 08:59.440 We put them next to one another and we end up with intersecting like that so we end up with meshes on 08:59.440 --> 09:00.850 top of one another. 09:00.850 --> 09:05.680 Of course when we end up with meshes on top of one another we end up with it getting quite horrible 09:05.680 --> 09:09.210 and nasty and we end up with lots of artefacts in our model. 09:11.530 --> 09:13.780 So quick challenge now for you guys. 09:13.780 --> 09:18.270 I'd like you to think about breaking down complex models. 09:18.520 --> 09:24.520 So do you have any parts of your scene that are going to cause you a headache if you try to unwrap the 09:24.520 --> 09:26.410 mess they currently are. 09:26.410 --> 09:30.220 Are they actually made up of multiple components. 09:30.220 --> 09:34.950 In which case it's likely that they need to be separated anyway. 09:35.530 --> 09:37.620 Can they be broken down. 09:37.630 --> 09:39.950 Are they really more than one model. 09:39.970 --> 09:41.920 Something to take some thoughts on. 09:42.220 --> 09:45.620 So pull somebody agao look at your models that you've got. 09:45.670 --> 09:52.840 Think about if you can increase the level of detail to elodie see on any of these is anything you are 09:52.840 --> 09:57.010 doing now going to impact that model further down the line. 09:57.070 --> 09:59.400 Pause video now and give that ago. 10:01.790 --> 10:02.350 Okay guys. 10:02.360 --> 10:03.240 Welcome back. 10:03.440 --> 10:08.040 Let's have a look at my vault and break it down into its component. 10:08.180 --> 10:15.260 So just looking at my model itself I do have separate items as I've kept them. 10:15.260 --> 10:23.570 I think first of all they need sorting out and so before I do anything else will remove the modifiers 10:23.570 --> 10:25.220 that I have applied. 10:25.220 --> 10:30.130 Obviously if you've built your walls up without modifiers this won't be that much of an issue. 10:30.140 --> 10:33.360 But in this case I'm want to remove the. 10:34.100 --> 10:42.040 All those can have both modifiers gone out the window outline again modifiers gone. 10:42.050 --> 10:47.260 In fact this outlined here is completely irrelevant because it's part of a window base. 10:47.270 --> 10:50.990 So this and this are all part of one object. 10:50.990 --> 10:55.720 So the question is should they should be part of one object shouldn't they. 10:56.070 --> 11:04.610 We can sort that out so let's make sure that we've got the mirror at all for the moment on any of these 11:04.610 --> 11:05.370 bits. 11:05.580 --> 11:09.830 So I'm going to remove the mirror there as well and you can see him using the mirror to my advantage 11:10.130 --> 11:11.740 and the solidify as well. 11:11.780 --> 11:16.160 And I've got a few other bits that I need to correct on here that stray edge that was somewhere down 11:16.160 --> 11:16.920 the base here. 11:17.030 --> 11:23.120 And I'm going to remove these feet completely and make them part of the pillar rather than parts of 11:23.120 --> 11:24.080 the vault. 11:25.680 --> 11:31.750 Oh looking at that I've also got intersecting geometry here as well so there's lots of things to go 11:31.750 --> 11:33.420 ahead and fix it. 11:33.430 --> 11:37.590 This particular model that doesn't look like it straight down there even. 11:37.630 --> 11:40.750 No it's not so there's plenty of things to go through. 11:40.750 --> 11:44.540 In fact I'm probably going to remodel this with the. 11:44.620 --> 11:47.200 Just making the window by itself. 11:47.230 --> 11:47.860 Here I am. 11:47.860 --> 11:50.990 I'm working on the window at the moment. 11:50.980 --> 11:58.870 I've set up a bevell objects to some a circle for there are curve to follow and I've decided to use 11:58.870 --> 12:02.590 Curves because they give some quite awesome results. 12:02.770 --> 12:09.910 So let's just give this a go now so I'm going to select the first point and control and click control 12:09.910 --> 12:16.650 and click here and here you can adjust that in a moment come back through here. 12:17.370 --> 12:18.860 All the way down here. 12:18.900 --> 12:26.160 There you can see straightaway that we can start to get some really really nice shapes going on. 12:26.160 --> 12:33.240 Obviously some of them the tweakings have an not a not so random kennett's that's that's quite nice. 12:33.320 --> 12:39.090 It's a bit cluttered in the middle here and like trying to get things that all crossover at the same 12:39.090 --> 12:40.250 point. 12:40.440 --> 12:44.900 And it looks deliberate servers three things crossing over here. 12:45.090 --> 12:47.920 I will move that in to pass. 12:47.940 --> 12:51.140 There they go a bit more of an interesting shape. 12:51.330 --> 12:58.190 So you can end up very quickly with a source of a pattern that might be a little sparse for a window 12:58.260 --> 12:59.400 this large. 12:59.450 --> 13:04.980 But one of the other ones that I was working on look came out and looked a bit like an angel which I 13:04.980 --> 13:06.000 thought was rather cool. 13:06.060 --> 13:07.690 I get round the right way. 13:08.340 --> 13:09.620 So that was pretty cool there. 13:09.620 --> 13:16.260 And then I tried another random shape and I also tried setting it to vector's to get more of an angular 13:16.260 --> 13:17.850 display as well. 13:17.880 --> 13:25.200 That's pretty pretty powerful on how to get those sorts of quick shapes out there and make it look a 13:25.200 --> 13:30.700 bit more like it was made of obviously stained glass or something along those lines. 13:32.030 --> 13:37.910 Hey Okay so I've been enjoying myself and playing around with various window designs and I've come up 13:37.910 --> 13:40.220 with a few great fun. 13:40.270 --> 13:48.500 I'm making my way very very quick to do so I've got this one in front of us named window Why don't know 13:48.500 --> 13:50.200 why but there we go. 13:50.300 --> 13:55.440 The standard window profile son was the one we had first of all I've got my angel. 13:56.370 --> 14:02.560 And I have gots this which is my first attempt at squiggling over V over the window. 14:02.640 --> 14:10.740 So all that's left for me to do now is convert these curve objects into mesh objects and then make the 14:10.740 --> 14:12.260 various windows from them. 14:13.740 --> 14:18.400 Right so I've been in I've done my conversions that I need to do sir. 14:18.420 --> 14:26.460 Now all those curves are mesh objects I created each one of the windows individually with its own frame 14:26.520 --> 14:32.670 as well I don't think that needs to be separate so that's gotten all the complication of the actual 14:32.670 --> 14:38.400 window part out of the way I've removed the base bits that don't matter anymore so that just leaves 14:38.400 --> 14:38.720 us. 14:38.730 --> 14:41.460 This still somewhat complex object. 14:41.460 --> 14:43.780 It's not just like a solid object. 14:43.800 --> 14:45.570 It goes back on itself. 14:45.720 --> 14:51.510 So in order to get this done and cut it up appropriately we're going to have to use something called 14:51.510 --> 14:55.580 seams and would talk about that in the next lecture.
