WEBVTT 00:05.180 --> 00:08.370 Welcome to getting the right skin tone. 00:08.690 --> 00:11.000 So what are the right settings. 00:11.000 --> 00:15.370 Well as with most things in blender there aren't any. 00:15.380 --> 00:18.350 It all depends on what you're trying to achieve. 00:18.350 --> 00:24.800 Sometimes a more porcelain look more than a natural look or any other sort of carrot to look that you're 00:24.800 --> 00:29.180 going for will dictate how your model has to be made. 00:29.180 --> 00:31.390 Helen materials have to be set up. 00:31.880 --> 00:39.260 But skin itself is a complex surface so you can't really get away with just setting or one shade type 00:39.320 --> 00:44.540 and leaving it to it because it just won't work out what it might work depending on what you're doing. 00:44.540 --> 00:46.400 But in general it won't work. 00:46.650 --> 00:48.530 It has more than one tone. 00:48.530 --> 00:52.590 We're not just one colour across our face and the rest of our body. 00:52.760 --> 00:55.580 It changes depending on surface detail. 00:55.580 --> 01:02.810 It's shiny in some places it is dry in others so you have greasy patches on the face usually on the 01:02.810 --> 01:09.050 top of the nose obviously the lips can be wet or indeed they can be dry of your character is dehydrated 01:09.110 --> 01:10.280 as well. 01:10.280 --> 01:16.790 Skin can be thin or thick letting some light through or blocking it all says lots of things to take 01:16.820 --> 01:18.630 into consideration. 01:18.710 --> 01:21.590 Now what to do when picking a base colour. 01:21.770 --> 01:27.890 Well you need to start somewhere so you can use the colour picker on your own reference material if 01:27.890 --> 01:35.070 you've taken a photo of yourself or indeed I would suggest searching on Google for skin tone. 01:35.130 --> 01:43.100 RG B reference annual have an absolute ton of information that you can then actually see what the colour 01:43.100 --> 01:46.530 looks like and use that as your base colour. 01:47.000 --> 01:54.840 So things to consider and focus on ignore skin tone changes due to wrinkles and folds. 01:54.890 --> 02:01.010 We don't really care about those at the moment because of that wrinkles and folds are an effect of light 02:01.370 --> 02:03.890 rather than colour. 02:04.040 --> 02:06.380 Ignore areas of sweat or oil. 02:06.380 --> 02:12.050 Now we've mentioned the actual sort of like the shiny areas that you can have on the face but that will 02:12.050 --> 02:19.070 be a specular map that we end up generating and that will be applied with a gloss shade later on it 02:19.070 --> 02:26.360 will not be something that we need to paint in at the moment on the base colour that we are going for. 02:26.360 --> 02:32.600 You may want to consider freckles scars spots some moles that cause discolouration. 02:32.630 --> 02:35.950 Those will be a completely different colour to the rest of it. 02:36.110 --> 02:40.970 And if you do decide to start adding detail at this stage make it rough. 02:40.970 --> 02:43.080 Call it a place holder detail. 02:43.160 --> 02:45.320 The mesh is still under construction. 02:45.320 --> 02:51.230 It is going to change so if you think I'm going to give beauty spot or there's going to be a mole there 02:51.470 --> 02:56.270 just you know paint it on roughly and then just leave it for the moment. 02:56.760 --> 02:58.130 Some of those things to consider. 02:58.140 --> 03:03.640 Let's go and add a base colour to the head over in blender. 03:08.730 --> 03:15.170 Okay so we're over in blender now and we need to create this diff use an arm start with a diffusely 03:15.180 --> 03:17.190 we didn't have to. 03:17.220 --> 03:21.880 But I'm going to just pick at the fuse colour that will roughly match my skin. 03:22.050 --> 03:27.780 Now I am going to actually use the reference Chandler termly a passage of the reference material. 03:27.810 --> 03:28.930 Up to one. 03:28.980 --> 03:30.060 So I move round the front. 03:30.060 --> 03:34.820 I can just see that and want to go ahead here and go to the material section. 03:34.830 --> 03:38.540 Also the defog material that's already been applied to our model. 03:38.720 --> 03:44.310 I'm going to call it skin bass because it is just the base colour. 03:44.340 --> 03:46.070 I'm going to go to the diffuse kind of itself. 03:46.070 --> 03:53.130 Go to the picar and literally just pick a random area that looks representative of most of my skin. 03:53.340 --> 03:54.740 Now we can see Miles. 03:54.750 --> 03:56.300 We're having a look at this picture. 03:56.310 --> 04:02.150 There are certain areas that are not the same colour as the skin colour I have picked here. 04:02.190 --> 04:03.830 We've got a freckle. 04:03.910 --> 04:11.280 I got some freckles here and it's lighter across the years or around the top of the cheeks and the fore 04:11.280 --> 04:16.930 head now can be a bit difficult to discern what's a reflection in the room this. 04:16.950 --> 04:22.290 This was taken in Certainly I'm not certainly shiny on the side of my head that just happens to be light 04:22.320 --> 04:28.740 bouncing off of or coming through a window so it's worthwhile just taking a good look at the colour 04:28.740 --> 04:31.360 variation on a face itself. 04:31.380 --> 04:36.480 We can see here there's a vast difference between this colour here that's grab just literally grab another 04:36.480 --> 04:41.000 area and this one here we can see there's a huge difference between the two. 04:41.010 --> 04:42.660 See if I can undo that note. 04:42.690 --> 04:47.410 Let's go and pick the same sort of area again a bit more neutral. 04:47.430 --> 04:48.070 There we go. 04:48.120 --> 04:54.470 So I'm going to switch back round and we can see the he's already applied it to our model. 04:54.510 --> 04:58.680 If I go to rendered view at the moment because we got no lights in the scene it's cancer looks pretty 04:58.680 --> 04:59.790 dire. 04:59.790 --> 05:04.830 Now there are certainly some other areas that we can apply straight away or at least get the colour 05:04.830 --> 05:08.760 ready for the lips as we can see here. 05:08.790 --> 05:12.830 There nothing like skin colour so I'm going to add a new material. 05:12.830 --> 05:16.140 I'm going to call that whole new material. 05:16.140 --> 05:22.470 Call it lips underscore base because I may have. 05:22.470 --> 05:28.420 Later on when we do our maps for the face we're going to have a gloss layer. 05:28.740 --> 05:34.020 And so we're going to want to make sure we separate the materials out into their areas. 05:34.020 --> 05:40.390 So with the lip space I am in fact is just going to be one texture later on. 05:40.390 --> 05:46.820 But just for the sake of getting this right at the moment as a place holder colour there you go there 05:46.820 --> 05:50.430 that the bearer of that's the colour of my lips who wouldn't know. 05:50.430 --> 05:52.950 Now I've got that's ongoing always bit random. 05:52.980 --> 05:59.000 Also to make sure the skin is applied to this and not the lip space. 05:59.680 --> 06:03.210 I'm bit confused now as to which one is applied to this model. 06:10.760 --> 06:11.950 I will look at material. 06:11.970 --> 06:15.280 Yeah case the skin basis applied there. 06:15.390 --> 06:21.310 So having a look at our model itself are a couple of things that I wanted to sort out. 06:21.330 --> 06:27.510 There's this triangle here and I think facking go by literally removing this edge loop running around 06:27.510 --> 06:34.310 the model I just realized that's the colour that I've chosen is very close to the core of the orange. 06:34.310 --> 06:35.900 That may be difficult to see. 06:35.940 --> 06:43.020 Now there is something that we can do in the viewport to make sure that we can still see lines that 06:43.020 --> 06:48.400 are going on now I can see that fine after my eyes adjust by don't want to be second guessing. 06:48.420 --> 06:55.270 So if we scroll all the way down and the skin base to settings and open maths up there is a view port 06:55.270 --> 06:57.680 colour and we can change that to what we likes. 06:57.680 --> 07:01.400 I'm going to make it a lot lighter but still roughly skin coloured. 07:01.410 --> 07:06.720 Now we're in material mode at the moment but when we go back over the solid mode it will be a different 07:06.720 --> 07:09.550 colour which is much easier to see anyway. 07:09.570 --> 07:16.140 So let's go ahead and not delete the edge but dissolve the edge and that should have repaired the damage 07:16.140 --> 07:17.870 there now vs. 07:17.910 --> 07:20.790 I'm pretty sure these lips are far too wide. 07:20.910 --> 07:27.240 And what I'm also concerned about is when I was trying to slip to a face earlier they weren't being 07:27.240 --> 07:32.670 selected a select them for some reason zooming in and turning off the modifier. 07:32.670 --> 07:35.050 I see that I've got a trying door here. 07:35.220 --> 07:41.310 I've probably got another triangle hiding away in here and also it's very very ugly around here with 07:41.310 --> 07:48.000 it's well with all of this mesh It's folded in in itself in certain places so there needs to be a bit 07:48.000 --> 07:49.540 of a tidy up here. 07:49.650 --> 07:53.960 Now the first thing I'm going to do is literally LOL. 07:54.120 --> 07:55.500 I don't quite know. 07:55.510 --> 07:56.060 There we go. 07:56.070 --> 07:57.240 I managed to do it. 07:57.420 --> 08:07.320 Yes so I've got two triangles we've got one here and one here and that was all those were probably created 08:08.310 --> 08:13.850 when I had the merge vertices automatically turned on and I was just moving the lips around. 08:13.850 --> 08:18.270 It looks like I've snapped into place and cause myself of a problem. 08:18.420 --> 08:20.510 Now there are a couple of ways that I can fix this. 08:20.520 --> 08:29.430 I'm just going to literally go in with the knife tool and hopefully cutting there will give us two triangles 08:29.460 --> 08:36.660 there and there and another two there and there and with two triangles you can dissolve it into one 08:36.660 --> 08:37.620 face. 08:37.620 --> 08:45.300 Now I'm going to select the edge itself in the middle and dissolve edges and here dissolve edges. 08:45.300 --> 08:50.390 Now is the time where I need to test my edge loops 1 2 3. 08:50.610 --> 08:53.470 Excellent so that is working fine. 08:53.490 --> 08:59.580 It still looks a bit ugly around here and that's going to take a while to sort out all I want it to 08:59.580 --> 09:04.440 roughly do is not be folding in on itself any more. 09:04.620 --> 09:13.050 And of course make sure that those face loops are still working which they are perfect right so I need 09:13.050 --> 09:17.820 to have a look at this from the front and I think this is one of these instances where I'm going to 09:17.820 --> 09:18.540 have to. 09:18.600 --> 09:25.410 How lovely a pastie off my image for a start but also just manipulate my image as well because my head 09:25.410 --> 09:27.120 is at a different angle. 09:27.120 --> 09:34.380 So this is all too wide at the moment so I'm going to select the face on the inside JERs there and with 09:34.380 --> 09:40.650 proportional editing turned on and asking going to move in and make sure I'm moving. 09:40.650 --> 09:44.880 A lot of it in once now hopefully. 09:44.890 --> 09:46.200 Where was the edge of my mouth. 09:46.200 --> 09:48.050 I can't actually see that I need. 09:52.250 --> 09:57.840 There may be a little bit more if I can do issues that circle as guidance though we get sets turning 09:57.850 --> 10:00.290 a pastie bet down that looks good. 10:00.290 --> 10:02.050 There's some more editing to be done. 10:02.120 --> 10:09.430 And by the side we can see here all has some horrible horrible folding going on in the middle there 10:09.440 --> 10:13.280 so let's sort that out as well whilst we're looking at it. 10:13.280 --> 10:23.200 This isn't really kalila stuff but it's certainly important and we can move this one back again in fact. 10:24.410 --> 10:26.590 It used to come in. 10:27.530 --> 10:29.900 We can come up. 10:30.020 --> 10:37.100 The whole all of that inside can come up and then lower that down so let the Edge loop and raise the 10:37.100 --> 10:39.260 whole thing up. 10:39.260 --> 10:40.310 Perfect. 10:40.360 --> 10:44.570 Then these will have to respectively go inwards slightly. 10:44.780 --> 10:47.150 And there's lots more of modification that can be done. 10:47.150 --> 10:50.510 Here's the face isn't so deformed. 10:52.320 --> 10:54.300 So I'll leave that like that for the moment. 10:54.360 --> 10:59.710 In fact when you're looking at things like this you must have a subsurface modifier applied Otherwise 10:59.730 --> 11:01.860 you could be doing lots of work for nothing. 11:01.950 --> 11:05.840 But now we're on the side or not that's the wrong image. 11:05.850 --> 11:07.540 No from the side. 11:11.200 --> 11:12.360 On the side there we go. 11:14.150 --> 11:19.970 So the mouth comes too far back as well so that now on a side we can actually I'm sorry to repeat myself 11:19.970 --> 11:26.250 five times but now we're on the side we can actually see that those movements that we've just done aren't 11:26.530 --> 11:26.970 white. 11:26.990 --> 11:31.250 Right because of the myths. 11:31.430 --> 11:32.430 The face itself. 11:32.510 --> 11:41.010 And it goes back to far some women grab their inside face again and just literally shift it forward. 11:42.140 --> 11:44.220 And down to about there. 11:44.240 --> 11:48.380 Now hopefully that hasn't distorted the model too much hasn't. 11:48.380 --> 11:51.950 Well looks like I'm pouting So that just needs to be smooth out. 11:51.980 --> 11:56.030 In fact there isn't some nasty edges around the whole model. 11:56.030 --> 11:59.710 And there's one thing that you can do called smooth virtex. 11:59.710 --> 12:04.900 It's a virtex command and we get it through the night. 12:04.910 --> 12:09.710 Looks like that's the last thing that I've practiced using and I'm going to apply that so you can also 12:09.710 --> 12:10.610 get it smooth. 12:10.610 --> 12:17.800 Vertex under the mesh but sees smooth vertex just there. 12:17.810 --> 12:22.430 Now the great thing about the smooth virtex is that it smoothes out the entire model. 12:22.430 --> 12:27.230 The bad thing about this is that is that it makes things shrink ever so slightly as well. 12:27.350 --> 12:33.080 So we can see that nose has been pulled in it doesn't seem to have affected this that much. 12:33.080 --> 12:36.140 And of course has some work to be done down here as well. 12:36.170 --> 12:44.540 It's shrunk the four head a little but it has meant that there's no or not as many jarring areas as 12:44.540 --> 12:46.450 there was before. 12:46.700 --> 12:47.330 Okay. 12:47.360 --> 12:49.350 So we've got our base covers here. 12:49.580 --> 12:52.570 And of course it's now time for a challenge. 12:53.270 --> 12:57.830 I would like you to go ahead and get your base colours sorted. 12:57.830 --> 13:01.830 Make sure you have a base colour applied to your model. 13:01.910 --> 13:06.670 Tidy up anything in your model that is standing out as bad or wrong. 13:06.740 --> 13:12.130 Just like I was going around earlier and saying where the mouth is too wide it's in the wrong position. 13:12.230 --> 13:13.720 Is your neckline right. 13:13.730 --> 13:18.340 Etc. it's worth doing some tidying up at this stage. 13:18.350 --> 13:21.260 Check all your loops are working as well. 13:21.260 --> 13:26.050 I had a few triangles and I'm sure there's something else in the background. 13:26.060 --> 13:28.360 There's going to cause me a problem later on. 13:28.430 --> 13:33.210 But go round and check and make sure your main loops are actually working. 13:33.230 --> 13:35.360 Now here's an optional one for you. 13:35.360 --> 13:42.890 We are going to do this later on as well but feel free at this point to unwrap your model and add even 13:42.890 --> 13:48.090 more detail so with it unwrapped you can actually paint directly on to the model. 13:48.230 --> 13:51.180 Don't worry so much about how you can unwrap it. 13:51.200 --> 13:58.640 If you go down that stage but just be aware of the seams on your model itself and make sure if you do 13:58.640 --> 14:00.170 decide to unwrap it. 14:00.230 --> 14:07.790 You keep the face as a face because that's the area where you don't want a seam causing you any problems 14:08.360 --> 14:08.890 anyway. 14:08.980 --> 14:14.520 Balls of video now make sure you have a basic colour applied to your model. 14:17.010 --> 14:17.770 Okay guys. 14:17.790 --> 14:18.870 Welcome back. 14:19.020 --> 14:24.390 Let's hop back on over into blender and just go around my model and see if there's anything else that 14:24.390 --> 14:26.100 I need to sort out. 14:28.120 --> 14:33.230 Okay so one of the glaringly obvious areas is my eye. 14:33.350 --> 14:40.090 Know I'm not going to focus too much at the moment on getting it absolutely perfect but it does stand 14:40.090 --> 14:43.540 out at the moment as not something suitable. 14:43.540 --> 14:50.270 So I'm going to select the edge loop running around the eye itself and just pull that forward knots 14:50.330 --> 14:51.360 Oh lots. 14:51.370 --> 14:53.130 Births first about there. 14:53.140 --> 15:00.070 I'm also going to flip around the sign just make sure that we've got the right amount of wealth of detail 15:00.070 --> 15:01.990 that it goes back far enough. 15:02.080 --> 15:09.320 So looking at VAT's the eye the eye itself is not quite in the right place and the move that. 15:09.390 --> 15:13.090 In fact we need to make a decent eye at some point. 15:13.090 --> 15:18.310 Okay so now that VAT is in roughly the right place now we can start moving the other bits and bobs will 15:18.310 --> 15:23.670 notice straightaway by looking at this and weave was round to the front and I can't see anything. 15:23.830 --> 15:26.350 Why can I not see anything cause the. 15:26.350 --> 15:27.920 Or a pass at sea. 15:27.970 --> 15:33.040 Or put it on the wrong area so the lips here I've moved upswell have to move it back down again for 15:33.060 --> 15:34.130 V. 15:34.930 --> 15:40.010 And this is where I can start moving some vertices to help define the shape of feet. 15:40.050 --> 15:42.840 I just a little bit better. 15:43.270 --> 15:50.620 So here we go I'm literally just spinning the video up here because I am literally moving Firths backwards 15:50.620 --> 15:56.380 and forwards and tweaking the shape of the eye turning proportional editing on and off as I need it 15:56.670 --> 16:03.430 as I'm doing this I start to realize that the brow isn't well formed at the moment some just moving 16:03.460 --> 16:10.370 the verses around and adding in a new face loop to actually get that looking much better. 16:10.420 --> 16:16.060 And now we see here that the eye is not pointy enough we start moving around some vertices and hopefully 16:16.060 --> 16:18.790 up with time and practice. 16:18.790 --> 16:23.090 You guys will be able to form the shapes that you desire as you go. 16:23.140 --> 16:26.600 Some of it however is just trial and error. 16:26.620 --> 16:30.900 Remember to view your model externally all the time just to make sure is looking right. 16:30.940 --> 16:33.810 In the third dimension as well. 16:34.600 --> 16:35.470 Excellent. 16:35.500 --> 16:37.470 So looks like a bit of a grump on then. 16:37.480 --> 16:44.110 Also looks like I'm embossed watching a little from nisbett of my for head which is not natural. 16:44.110 --> 16:48.580 However it is natural to have a brow itself. 16:48.730 --> 16:55.060 So I'm just going to try pulling that forward ever so slightly that should lessen the impact here and 16:55.060 --> 17:00.100 also pulling this area forward ever so slightly as well. 17:00.630 --> 17:03.180 Okay that's looking pretty good. 17:03.250 --> 17:06.610 The eye itself still needs a bit more refining. 17:06.730 --> 17:13.810 And again you will just have to go around here and it may be a case that we do actually require more 17:13.810 --> 17:14.420 detail. 17:14.410 --> 17:21.050 It may be that we've got too little detail in this area to define the eye properly. 17:26.390 --> 17:32.880 In fact one of the issues here is the IDE does not fly round in quite the right areas. 17:32.880 --> 17:37.960 He's got a fink of the various areas of the I as it goes around. 17:39.090 --> 17:42.640 So you got this area around here that's now too high. 17:42.900 --> 17:49.280 But what does it look like from the side caterer's stand to get some nice defamation along the top here. 17:49.290 --> 17:51.150 I think I need that to continue. 17:51.150 --> 17:54.480 No it does fade off around there but I would like it. 17:54.540 --> 18:01.480 Following this line just a little closer so I can move that whole long. 18:03.370 --> 18:03.910 There you go. 18:03.910 --> 18:06.610 That's a much better definition now. 18:06.650 --> 18:08.250 This is a bit extreme here. 18:08.250 --> 18:17.590 So again we'll have to lessen the impact slightly by pulling it back again and again we can go and tweet 18:17.620 --> 18:23.710 and tweak and tweak can tweak and tweak until now until a blue in the face now that's it. 18:23.730 --> 18:28.220 Well one of the problems here is I don't think that corner of my eyes quite this high. 18:28.240 --> 18:29.930 So let's sort that out. 18:29.950 --> 18:36.270 And I am going to have proportional editing turned on at this point to make sure I can more. 18:36.280 --> 18:42.350 I don't need that much but I do need to move quite a bit down at the same time. 18:52.050 --> 18:54.890 Yeah it's looking much better now. 18:57.380 --> 19:00.260 Actually the smooth this bit out. 19:03.380 --> 19:06.050 And again this is where smoothing the verb. 19:06.090 --> 19:10.640 You've got couple selected can help out massively as well. 19:12.170 --> 19:12.670 Okay. 19:12.680 --> 19:15.550 I'm liking that form at the moment. 19:15.830 --> 19:19.010 Is there anything else that I need to sort out the top of a head. 19:19.010 --> 19:21.160 Has some funky things going on. 19:21.230 --> 19:24.850 But I think we all believe that until another lecture. 19:24.950 --> 19:26.480 How are you guys getting on. 19:26.480 --> 19:29.270 Have you made something that's frowning a bit like that. 19:29.310 --> 19:31.400 Um actually I think I'm smiling there. 19:31.580 --> 19:32.750 I'm not quite sure yet. 19:32.810 --> 19:34.190 How are you guys getting on. 19:34.190 --> 19:40.180 I'd love to see your heads how detailed they're becoming now make sure you share in the discussions. 19:40.310 --> 19:42.920 And I will see you in the next lecture.
