WEBVTT 00:00.920 --> 00:03.570 Welcome to making objects separately. 00:03.920 --> 00:08.870 In this video we're going to get back into modelling and the main reason for that is we cannot fully 00:08.870 --> 00:13.110 texture our model until the modelling stage itself is complete. 00:13.160 --> 00:20.240 And of course at the moment my model doesn't have an ear and it needs a bit of detailing on it as well. 00:20.240 --> 00:26.710 And of course with texturing we need to use young wrap our model and every time we move the mesh the 00:26.700 --> 00:31.340 UAE map will get less and less accurate and start to cause artefacts so we want to get that modelling 00:31.340 --> 00:37.130 done or as done as there were as close as it can be so we can then get on to texturing and adding those 00:37.130 --> 00:39.050 materials to our model. 00:39.050 --> 00:43.820 Now we're going to take a look at the ear in the section with all the folds in it it can be quite a 00:43.820 --> 00:44.980 challenge. 00:45.380 --> 00:50.980 Essentially there are two main loops for the year the inner and outer loop. 00:51.140 --> 00:53.810 And we'll show you those in a few seconds. 00:53.850 --> 00:55.630 We're going to make it separately. 00:55.640 --> 01:00.500 In this case in order to focus on the actual model of the ear itself. 01:00.560 --> 01:04.130 So isolation can be both a good and a bad thing. 01:04.160 --> 01:09.920 There is some natural isolation if you were making a model where let's say a car you'd have several 01:09.920 --> 01:14.190 components that would be separate from one another with them. 01:14.210 --> 01:19.670 With the model of the head of course ideally you don't want separate nose separate mouth separate eyes 01:19.680 --> 01:20.120 ears. 01:20.180 --> 01:23.190 Eyes Yes because we have made them separately. 01:23.510 --> 01:29.240 So that's about the only thing if you were making teeth I suppose you'd go for that as well. 01:29.350 --> 01:31.550 But the ear itself is actually attached to a head. 01:31.550 --> 01:36.750 So in some ways you would think oh well can I just make it from the head mesh. 01:37.010 --> 01:42.950 Well in this case what I would like to do is actually focus on the ear without worrying about the head 01:42.980 --> 01:44.120 itself. 01:44.120 --> 01:48.860 Now obviously that has good and bad implications but we can move backwards and forwards all the time 01:49.130 --> 01:52.530 or just turn the head on and off and see what's going on. 01:52.760 --> 01:58.760 But it does mean that you're not going to spoil your head mesh accidentally in the process of making 01:58.760 --> 02:01.680 the year especially if you start using something like sculped. 02:01.710 --> 02:06.170 So you don't accidentally grab part of a head and have to keep undoing some making it separately at 02:06.170 --> 02:08.460 this point is a good thing. 02:08.510 --> 02:11.350 And then we can reattach it to the head after it. 02:11.360 --> 02:16.530 So let's now go explore those two main loops and hop on over into a blender. 02:18.360 --> 02:21.940 Okay so in front of us here we have one I made earlier. 02:21.990 --> 02:26.860 And you can see that the ear itself looks pretty good once we've got. 02:26.920 --> 02:28.550 Let's turn our lights. 02:28.550 --> 02:29.130 Let me guess. 02:29.130 --> 02:30.330 The lights are on a different light. 02:30.330 --> 02:30.920 There we go. 02:31.110 --> 02:34.540 So we've got a nice ear going on here now. 02:34.590 --> 02:41.160 It will depend on what your ear looks like that you're modelling on in may look different to this. 02:41.280 --> 02:45.900 Some is have more folds or more creases or more defined shape. 02:45.900 --> 02:48.450 Some people have bigger ear lobes etcetera. 02:48.600 --> 02:51.100 Of course I've modelled mine on the head. 02:51.120 --> 02:52.470 I've got in front of me. 02:52.590 --> 02:58.920 And it follows nicely the curvature of the ear I've got in fact the low down here is perhaps a bit bigger 02:59.460 --> 03:04.740 than is in the reference material but I am absolutely fine with that and of course we've spread the 03:04.740 --> 03:06.150 ear out itself. 03:06.270 --> 03:08.560 So let's go back to the mesh. 03:08.750 --> 03:09.540 There you go. 03:09.540 --> 03:10.880 Looks nice. 03:10.920 --> 03:14.610 We've actually got a sort of plane to mount it on. 03:14.750 --> 03:17.700 Now one of the things that will have to contend with in a bit. 03:17.700 --> 03:22.130 And this comes with all modelling when you do something separately is joining it back together. 03:22.140 --> 03:25.820 So we will have a series of seas around the edge. 03:25.870 --> 03:30.000 So taking this one for example when I selected it there are 20 vertices. 03:30.150 --> 03:32.160 That means there needs to be 20. 03:32.160 --> 03:38.550 On the one we're linking it to and I can almost guarantee there won't be that on the head model so we'll 03:38.550 --> 03:46.290 have to when we get to this stage actually move the detail down as it comes towards this edge here. 03:46.290 --> 03:50.420 So we don't have such a problem merging it together. 03:50.520 --> 03:51.030 Okay. 03:51.120 --> 03:56.910 So without further adieu let's go ahead and start modelling this and I'm going to go ahead and open 03:56.910 --> 03:59.140 up my head file. 04:00.170 --> 04:00.500 Okay. 04:00.500 --> 04:01.410 That looks a bit odd. 04:01.430 --> 04:04.660 There looks like blenders being a tiny bit funny. 04:05.120 --> 04:07.270 Well the eye is in fact there. 04:07.280 --> 04:10.530 It just happens to be a work of blender. 04:10.550 --> 04:14.800 Never mind so let's was round to the side and go to layer. 04:14.810 --> 04:23.960 So okay now I'm going to be modelling now Polly to Polly this year itself and this is just one way of 04:23.960 --> 04:25.670 making it. 04:25.790 --> 04:27.590 There are loads of different ways of making it. 04:27.590 --> 04:32.680 We could literally go in and sculpt it's fresh. 04:32.810 --> 04:37.240 We could go in and and make it from the head itself. 04:37.250 --> 04:43.790 But this way itself is the easiest way I found of making something that's a bit more complicated like 04:43.790 --> 04:50.120 an ear but actually getting it's sort of to the shape I wanted straight away. 04:50.120 --> 04:57.440 Now I'm going to add this in a very straightforward manner I'm going to add a single vertex and then 04:57.470 --> 05:03.410 extrude that Vertex and that gives us an edge to work with and when we extrude an edge we get a face 05:03.410 --> 05:04.550 to work with. 05:04.550 --> 05:12.020 Now this is one of these times where if you want to copy me exactly Ira that's absolutely fine. 05:12.020 --> 05:16.480 So I want AITs of these pieces going out. 05:16.580 --> 05:19.810 So one two three four five. 05:21.120 --> 05:22.460 Six. 05:25.480 --> 05:26.610 Seven. 05:28.490 --> 05:30.140 It's okay. 05:30.200 --> 05:32.280 So that's the outer loop made. 05:32.300 --> 05:35.890 In fact I'm just going to move some of these bits about. 05:38.900 --> 05:40.120 Eric go. 05:42.110 --> 05:44.120 And this is obviously going to be quite low poly. 05:44.120 --> 05:46.040 Now let's get the inner loop itself. 05:46.040 --> 05:50.070 I'm going to start from this place here and come down. 05:50.270 --> 05:55.640 Now what we'll want to do on a scale that in Eleusis like what we'll want to do as we come around here 05:55.910 --> 06:01.450 is make sure that edges start lining up properly so that when we. 06:02.330 --> 06:09.320 Get to this point here we can merge vertices here and this one here so this one does need to come down 06:09.410 --> 06:10.690 a little more. 06:11.150 --> 06:12.070 Okay. 06:12.080 --> 06:16.620 So this itself will become a quad shortly one two three four. 06:16.640 --> 06:19.950 This one will become a quad and they'll be a quad in the middle here as well. 06:19.950 --> 06:25.190 So I'm going to go down to this point here and move it around. 06:25.520 --> 06:30.110 Now this is quite manual issue probably as you're watching me there. 06:30.200 --> 06:34.910 Now I don't want to actually merge any verses just yet just in case I want to move things about so I'm 06:34.900 --> 06:40.790 going to turn my snapping tool off and I've got automatically merged vertices turned on at the moment. 06:40.820 --> 06:42.890 I'm going to turn off the safety. 06:42.900 --> 06:49.250 I know that sounds an odd thing to say but I don't want a problem where when it comes to sorting this 06:49.250 --> 06:49.730 out. 06:49.920 --> 06:50.150 OK. 06:50.180 --> 06:55.670 So we're almost there because this final one it's selfless just move this here and scale it up a little 06:56.310 --> 07:00.110 is all the way to the top here it's going to require a big rotator. 07:00.110 --> 07:03.070 Now be careful about going around inside yourself. 07:03.080 --> 07:04.700 You don't want the model looking like that. 07:04.720 --> 07:06.530 You want it like that. 07:06.730 --> 07:07.090 Okay. 07:07.100 --> 07:13.870 So I'm happy with this rough outline here I'm going to go to virtex and snap mode turned on and merge 07:13.880 --> 07:15.940 virtex Automatically. 07:16.260 --> 07:21.710 So I'm going to move this one and plonk it on there and this one to here and this one to here. 07:21.740 --> 07:23.210 This one to here. 07:23.300 --> 07:25.930 This one to here and this one here. 07:26.210 --> 07:26.660 Okay. 07:26.730 --> 07:29.350 There's one final one here and here. 07:29.480 --> 07:29.740 Okay. 07:29.750 --> 07:38.540 So we should end up with a quad that we have to fill in here one two three four fill 1 two one two three 07:38.540 --> 07:42.320 four fill 1 2 3 0. 07:43.060 --> 07:44.740 Three for Phil. 07:44.790 --> 07:45.300 Okay. 07:45.540 --> 07:48.040 So we should end up with a shape looking roughly like this. 07:48.060 --> 07:52.770 Now at the moment I'm not too concerned about it not matching exactly the reference material. 07:52.770 --> 07:58.470 This is of course an opportunity that you can go in and start tweaking it slightly so it resembles it 07:58.470 --> 08:04.940 just a little bit close or more closely but I'm happy with the overall layout of that win. 08:04.950 --> 08:08.820 We need more detail anyway in there and we can sort that out in a bit. 08:08.820 --> 08:12.990 This particular one here I am going to scale in ever so slightly. 08:13.280 --> 08:13.780 Okay. 08:14.070 --> 08:20.340 So this face in the middle here is going to be the hole in the ear so I might as well sort that out 08:20.340 --> 08:20.800 now. 08:21.030 --> 08:28.530 And I'm just going to literally push that all extrude it actually move it here scale in ever so slightly 08:28.560 --> 08:31.070 and move it to the front. 08:31.290 --> 08:32.080 So there's that. 08:32.160 --> 08:35.520 That is a bit deep actually as it goes. 08:35.520 --> 08:38.540 I mean orthographic projection that that's happened. 08:38.580 --> 08:40.950 So I've got no idea a perspective of course. 08:40.980 --> 08:43.670 So that would do for the input there. 08:43.680 --> 08:52.020 So around the outside here if we imagine the ear itself at this edge here is going to have some thickness 08:52.020 --> 08:57.240 to it so we can go round the edge itself all the way to the bottom and extrude. 08:57.240 --> 09:02.130 Now under that change the transformer orientation back to global. 09:02.460 --> 09:09.510 So I can actually extrude in the x axis in this case I've also noticed that my model seems to have its 09:09.510 --> 09:14.600 Normal's all skew whiff probably just the way I started the modelling. 09:14.610 --> 09:17.250 I'm literally just going to flip those Normal's. 09:19.320 --> 09:21.940 Normal's flip Normal's. 09:22.000 --> 09:22.750 And there we go. 09:22.750 --> 09:25.840 We've now got things on the outside and the inside. 09:25.840 --> 09:26.660 Perfect. 09:26.720 --> 09:26.950 Okay. 09:26.980 --> 09:28.850 So now we've got this here. 09:28.870 --> 09:31.670 We can go around the edge itself. 09:35.430 --> 09:39.900 The complete edge not just there okay. 09:39.990 --> 09:40.760 There we go. 09:40.890 --> 09:42.500 And then we can extrude again. 09:42.500 --> 09:45.490 Now this is going to require a bit more manipulation. 09:45.600 --> 09:47.970 So I'm just going to pull it out now. 09:48.000 --> 09:51.640 Yeah that far because we can faff about with it in a moment. 09:51.930 --> 09:58.170 And I'm going to move all of these just the part ever so slightly and also move snap is snapping off 09:58.170 --> 09:59.730 again. 09:59.730 --> 10:06.070 And we want these to line up some glasslike the entire edge loop running around there. 10:06.360 --> 10:12.570 And scale x x 0 with this set and normal so let's just try that scale. 10:12.570 --> 10:14.430 I think it's going to be x x 0. 10:14.490 --> 10:15.660 Yeah there we go. 10:15.660 --> 10:18.810 So now everything is co plainer. 10:18.900 --> 10:19.680 Excellent. 10:19.710 --> 10:21.710 So I'm going to move this back now. 10:24.680 --> 10:25.870 About there. 10:26.890 --> 10:27.250 Oh no. 10:27.250 --> 10:28.890 That is far too far. 10:29.850 --> 10:31.680 We get and scale that in. 10:33.080 --> 10:36.690 So that's kind of the back side of the ear itself. 10:36.770 --> 10:41.810 And then we need to do another extrude because we need somewhere to mount it to the head itself. 10:42.020 --> 10:44.250 And then we can scale that outwards. 10:45.650 --> 10:48.070 And move our model around. 10:48.120 --> 10:55.880 So I don't want that selects I want this select Let's grab this and move it back and get a term proportional 10:55.910 --> 11:02.050 editing on or not insert editing on so I can move the entire thing just back. 11:03.670 --> 11:04.720 There we go. 11:04.760 --> 11:11.220 It's just not in the way and then it's a matter of manipulating these here and getting them. 11:12.680 --> 11:14.900 Getting that flat surface for the it. 11:15.060 --> 11:22.440 Now at the moment you can see we've got some intersecting faces here that is a matter of moving vertices 11:22.470 --> 11:27.270 around until you get them in the right place. 11:27.270 --> 11:35.100 Now this can be a bit challenging to get it right and a bit infuriating but if you go around your model 11:35.100 --> 11:41.480 lots and make small changes rather than big ones you'll soon see what's going on. 11:41.620 --> 11:47.650 Now this at this point here these this is obviously too wide that it is standing out massively. 11:47.790 --> 11:54.400 So we've also got to move the edge that's somewhere along here and just push out ever so slightly. 11:55.810 --> 12:02.950 And again bring bring your mateer your reference material back again so you can move things in a more 12:02.950 --> 12:04.000 realistic manner. 12:04.060 --> 12:06.840 And this has a lot of tweaking to do. 12:07.030 --> 12:10.800 And of course that leads us on to a challenge. 12:12.330 --> 12:12.980 Okay. 12:12.990 --> 12:16.380 I'd like you to finish modelling the ear itself. 12:16.380 --> 12:17.080 So go ahead. 12:17.100 --> 12:18.560 Finish off the ear. 12:18.600 --> 12:20.830 Remember to add detail now. 12:20.850 --> 12:22.900 Ears are not flat. 12:22.920 --> 12:25.220 You can go a bit crazy with it as well. 12:25.460 --> 12:29.880 So obviously some features when they're exaggerated only a little. 12:29.880 --> 12:35.060 Don't go over the top but if they're exaggerated they can help convey a better sense of depth. 12:35.060 --> 12:41.070 They're now at the moment the ear we've got is far too wide so there are have to be manipulated flip 12:41.070 --> 12:47.580 forward and back between the head model itself and the ear and remember that you will have to add a 12:47.580 --> 12:50.140 subdivision surface modifier at some point. 12:50.220 --> 12:53.240 So the ear would actually shrink from where it is now. 12:53.250 --> 12:59.760 I wouldn't recommend in my experience just adding a subdivision surface modifier and applying it to 12:59.760 --> 13:04.960 get yourself Self more and more vertices to work with. 13:04.980 --> 13:09.450 I would actually just subdivide the mesh if you need more vertices to work with. 13:09.480 --> 13:15.330 The reason for that is if it shrinks immediately you've got a problem from way he was starting from 13:15.330 --> 13:23.520 source just subdivide with out actually using subdivisions SERPs monifah or just use simple as the option 13:23.520 --> 13:25.130 on the subdivision surface modifier. 13:25.130 --> 13:27.440 That would also work as well. 13:27.500 --> 13:30.370 And just a reminder you have the sculped tool as well. 13:30.390 --> 13:35.580 This can help if a struggling moving vertiz about just dragging them. 13:35.580 --> 13:42.600 You can use the sculped tool to help provide a bit more adjustment in air in a more artistic manner 13:42.600 --> 13:45.260 rather than precise moving that Vertex about. 13:46.330 --> 13:53.320 Okay so finally before we crack on with that just a reminder that this modelling itself when I've done 13:53.320 --> 14:00.460 the modelling of an era in the past it's typically taken around half an hour or so to get roughly right 14:00.480 --> 14:03.270 and maybe another half an hour of tweaking as well. 14:03.340 --> 14:07.620 So don't expect this to suddenly miraculously look like a wonderful ear. 14:07.720 --> 14:09.910 You're going to have to tweak and modify it. 14:09.970 --> 14:14.560 And of course when I show you that challenge results as far as I'm concerned it's not going to be real 14:14.560 --> 14:15.150 time. 14:15.170 --> 14:21.970 I'll skip through the various points that I find important when I'm modelling the support of video now 14:22.210 --> 14:23.570 and give that a go. 14:25.670 --> 14:27.180 Okay guys welcome back. 14:27.350 --> 14:29.460 Let's go finish modelling our ear. 14:30.730 --> 14:38.110 Okay so before I get cracking with any further detail I am going to see what it looks like on our head. 14:38.110 --> 14:42.800 Now I'm not expecting it to be smack bang on the head just at the moment. 14:42.880 --> 14:46.150 It faxes e in in the head itself. 14:46.270 --> 14:52.920 So it's going to be roughly here and I might as well get it orientated correctly as well surman irritate 14:53.020 --> 14:56.640 it's about there and push it back into the model. 14:56.650 --> 15:02.300 So there we go we've got a bigger front profile there we have so we can see here. 15:02.320 --> 15:07.720 One it sticks out further than the other that you may or may not want to do that with your particular 15:07.720 --> 15:08.170 model. 15:08.470 --> 15:13.540 But it is important to have a look at reference material because some people's ears stick out more than 15:13.540 --> 15:14.190 others. 15:14.200 --> 15:20.770 So even though it's not it's too high at this point in the model on the backend it really needs to be 15:20.770 --> 15:21.710 pulled out. 15:21.970 --> 15:26.210 But first of all let's add some more geometry to here. 15:26.400 --> 15:28.910 That's go to delay it too by itself. 15:28.950 --> 15:32.660 It is important to hop backwards and forwards and check this often. 15:32.710 --> 15:38.370 Now before I do anything else here I need to sort out this mess down at the bottom here. 15:38.410 --> 15:42.760 It shouldn't take too long to do but I will see you guys back in a few moments. 15:44.640 --> 15:47.470 Okay so that is looking pretty good now. 15:47.490 --> 15:49.710 They were just a bit on top of one another. 15:49.800 --> 15:56.550 Or rather one was pulled one way too far and not the other so you ended up with a lot of non plane geometry. 15:56.550 --> 15:58.620 But that doesn't matter too much. 15:58.620 --> 16:01.140 But it was intersecting which does matter. 16:01.140 --> 16:04.280 So I'm happy with that overall shape for my ear. 16:04.380 --> 16:10.010 The next thing to do is to go ahead and select everything because we're subdividing everything. 16:10.010 --> 16:16.520 I'm going to use the specials menu to get with the w.k. and all where subdivide right the top there 16:16.740 --> 16:22.600 and only one level some just going to open up the tall shelf I'm sure as only one level Xome sense. 16:22.730 --> 16:26.020 Now we should find we've got a couple of loops. 16:26.030 --> 16:28.980 Let's make sure our loops are still intact as well. 16:28.980 --> 16:30.620 So we've got a loop running around here. 16:30.630 --> 16:32.430 Of course it'll go all the way around our model. 16:32.460 --> 16:37.830 In this case and there should be another one right next to it and then we've got an inner ear loop as 16:37.830 --> 16:38.430 well. 16:38.700 --> 16:39.870 Okay perfect. 16:39.870 --> 16:42.390 So we've got a very flat ear at the moment. 16:42.390 --> 16:43.860 This is no good. 16:43.860 --> 16:44.800 It's self. 16:44.820 --> 16:52.180 So at this point now I've got the extra geometry I'm going to go in and subdivide or add a subdivision 16:52.180 --> 16:53.480 surface modifier. 16:53.490 --> 17:00.420 Now this extra geometry helps cage our model and stops it collapsing too much in on itself so that should 17:00.420 --> 17:02.910 still be roughly the right size which is. 17:03.070 --> 17:08.010 And of course now's the time to go in and grab the edges like this. 17:08.010 --> 17:13.490 Edge here let's do all the way round here. 17:13.620 --> 17:19.740 Of course an ear is not flat so that's where you just move that in. 17:19.740 --> 17:27.630 I'm going to move it Imber selects normal here and just push it in essence so we start to have a shape 17:27.630 --> 17:28.800 of our ear. 17:28.950 --> 17:34.430 Now in this case I'm going to also push a couple of these upwards. 17:34.470 --> 17:36.710 We sure help pinch the ear itself. 17:36.870 --> 17:42.510 Now I've got proportional editing turned on I don't actually want too much of it turned on here so I'm 17:42.510 --> 17:47.860 going to grab this law here and pull it over the top to make a lip. 17:47.880 --> 17:53.170 And of course this is going to be more and more tweaking to try and get the right shapes involve the 17:53.170 --> 17:59.670 mosque and turn smooth shading on as well as our is a lovely so we can already see this is starting 17:59.670 --> 18:01.590 to take shape wonderfully. 18:01.650 --> 18:06.220 So going to go around here and manipulate some more vertices and get it sorted. 18:07.400 --> 18:13.910 Okay so I'm just putting together the final bits of my model here and just going back to the reference 18:13.910 --> 18:21.260 material and looking at the contours So we've got a contour that flows round here and back again. 18:21.260 --> 18:27.440 So it's a good idea to try and make your mesh reflect that's by just tweaking it ever so slightly and 18:27.440 --> 18:33.140 pulling some bits closer and some bits further away so sometimes I can move a face as a whole. 18:33.140 --> 18:39.230 Sometimes I push virtex up just to add that little bit of a crease in to our model. 18:39.230 --> 18:42.230 So I'm quite happy with how my ears turned out. 18:42.230 --> 18:43.990 How is yours turned out. 18:44.000 --> 18:48.150 Did it take you a couple of times to get your ear right. 18:48.170 --> 18:49.510 It certainly does. 18:49.550 --> 18:55.120 When you first start and that's what it's currently looking like on the model. 18:55.220 --> 19:01.400 So of course I'm not too happy with how it looks in terms of here's I'm going to modify it a bit more 19:01.400 --> 19:07.850 I think but I'm happy with that as a starting point now because we've got a fairly detailed year on 19:07.850 --> 19:08.930 our model. 19:08.930 --> 19:14.340 Please share your ears in the discussions and I will see you guys in the next lecture.
