WEBVTT 00:00.270 --> 00:04.380 Welcome to joining separate objects in this video. 00:04.380 --> 00:09.840 We will join the two meshes we've created together forming one mesh object. 00:10.120 --> 00:13.000 Now there is more than one way to do this. 00:13.020 --> 00:19.570 Obviously not the joining but the actual mechanics of how to make it look seamless between the two objects. 00:19.620 --> 00:25.860 Once you've brought them together and it of course it is likely to involve some read topology. 00:25.890 --> 00:29.650 So let's go explore this now and hop on over into blender. 00:31.380 --> 00:35.180 Okay so we have to mesh objects here and. 00:35.220 --> 00:40.140 Well first of all let's join them together so selected to be active one. 00:40.170 --> 00:41.520 Excellent. 00:41.520 --> 00:43.410 And then press control in J. 00:43.530 --> 00:44.250 And there we go. 00:44.250 --> 00:44.750 Done. 00:44.940 --> 00:46.270 No I'm kidding. 00:46.440 --> 00:52.010 We've got a bit more to do because if we have a look at the topology we can see is or mis matched. 00:52.050 --> 00:56.670 So there's a couple things to think about here so the area that the ear is in. 00:56.730 --> 01:02.880 Well first of all let's select the whole ear and we can do that because all of these vertices have no 01:02.880 --> 01:09.150 links whatsoever to the rest of them so we can just hit the L key select the ear and hide everything 01:09.210 --> 01:10.030 else. 01:10.050 --> 01:15.840 Now we select the outer edge loop running around here we can see we've got 20 vertices. 01:15.900 --> 01:16.250 Okay. 01:16.260 --> 01:17.910 That's a starting point. 01:18.120 --> 01:21.990 And it's a nice even number as well which can help. 01:23.020 --> 01:23.240 OK. 01:23.270 --> 01:26.000 Let's bring everything back. 01:26.330 --> 01:32.960 Let's see one two three four five six seven eight nine ten. 01:33.170 --> 01:33.430 OK. 01:33.440 --> 01:41.780 So we've got a a nice relationship here between this group here and the ears themselves so we've got 01:41.780 --> 01:43.060 a tenor around here. 01:43.190 --> 01:50.290 And a 20 around the inside so we can potentially start from this point and create more geometry. 01:50.510 --> 01:56.330 But looking at the head itself does the edge of flow make sense at the moment. 01:56.360 --> 02:02.660 I don't think it does sir just like the ear itself if we have a look at the I how it gets more and more 02:02.660 --> 02:05.540 detailed as it goes in and the same with the mouth. 02:05.810 --> 02:10.460 What we don't have that around here there's no edge flow around the ears. 02:10.460 --> 02:17.330 In fact the closest one I believe is along mutt's hop just here this one here. 02:17.480 --> 02:21.740 So that's the closest we have to this is having any edge flow around it. 02:21.890 --> 02:26.220 And we want that so do we have one here almost. 02:26.300 --> 02:28.600 So we almost have one running around there. 02:28.610 --> 02:36.980 Let's make this happen around the edge itself and then we can get down to more and more detail and then 02:36.980 --> 02:38.660 join it on to the 20. 02:38.660 --> 02:40.130 Around here I am. 02:40.160 --> 02:47.860 I would rather do it that way than trying to make this twenty into 10 and taking it the other way. 02:48.040 --> 02:48.600 So. 02:49.520 --> 02:50.240 Guess what. 02:50.360 --> 02:52.460 It's time for a challenge. 02:52.460 --> 02:56.490 I would like you to go ahead and merge the ear and head together. 02:56.630 --> 03:03.940 Now you've got all the necessary tools available to do this joining these two mesh objects together. 03:06.250 --> 03:12.730 I'd like you to go ahead and merge the ear and head now join the two mesh objects together if you haven't 03:12.730 --> 03:19.330 done already and then think about redefining the head or ear topology to match each other. 03:19.330 --> 03:25.910 Now that will take some thinking and planning said Do save your file or create a new one so you can 03:25.910 --> 03:26.710 play with it. 03:26.710 --> 03:32.390 That's very important I don't want you ruining your head at this point having no way to fall back so 03:32.380 --> 03:38.140 make sure you save Vance at this point because you're about to do some destructive work. 03:38.170 --> 03:45.430 Finally think about the Edge loops and face loops on the side of the head hulky make it flow around 03:45.430 --> 03:47.690 their ear much better. 03:47.710 --> 03:53.170 Ideally I don't think I'll want to change the topology of the Iraq. 03:53.380 --> 03:55.270 Rather the head itself. 03:55.330 --> 04:01.440 So I think about rooting the edge loops that are around there to the rest of the head as well. 04:01.450 --> 04:08.020 Perhaps there is too many at that point in time 20 but I'm sure I'll be able to fan that out relatively 04:08.020 --> 04:09.150 successfully. 04:09.160 --> 04:15.580 Do remember I only repeat myself here but do remember to save as and then work from there rather than 04:15.580 --> 04:18.140 just saving one continuous model. 04:18.160 --> 04:23.970 I don't want you guys losing you work you're doing wonderful so far and we don't want to spoil that. 04:23.980 --> 04:28.680 So remember to save often and save as often as well when you're trying something. 04:28.780 --> 04:31.050 Especially when it's destructive. 04:31.180 --> 04:37.210 Considering things like bridging edge loops as well that's one way of joining these things together 04:37.210 --> 04:39.750 if you manage to match the two edged loops running around. 04:39.790 --> 04:46.360 Or you could do a very destructive process and remove half the side of the head and just reconstruct 04:46.360 --> 04:49.340 the geometry from there is entirely up to you. 04:49.550 --> 04:53.010 So go ahead pause a video now and give that a go. 04:55.130 --> 05:00.220 Okay guys Welcome back let's go merge the ear and head together now over in blender. 05:01.260 --> 05:10.020 Okay so first of all I'm going to go file save ours and I'm going to name this year and hared merge. 05:10.140 --> 05:13.770 So I know exactly what this save as is. 05:13.790 --> 05:14.540 There you go. 05:14.570 --> 05:18.250 Oh I tried not to do that there again. 05:18.420 --> 05:21.400 Difficulty with having a whopping great big mike framed between you and the keyboard. 05:21.420 --> 05:21.930 Right. 05:22.080 --> 05:24.300 So there are a couple of ways to approach this. 05:24.300 --> 05:26.940 You can be highly destructive or not destructive. 05:26.940 --> 05:28.940 That's all we've got. 05:28.950 --> 05:34.440 If we go around this area we've got 10 edge loops in total. 05:34.460 --> 05:36.830 That's that's one possibility. 05:36.870 --> 05:41.700 What I'm going to do at this point in time is just explore some individual possibilities so I'm going 05:41.700 --> 05:44.030 to just hide the air from the scene. 05:44.070 --> 05:48.690 Well that was a great example of hiding the wrong thing. 05:48.690 --> 05:49.710 There we go. 05:51.120 --> 05:51.420 Okay. 05:51.420 --> 05:53.020 I've not got select it. 05:53.020 --> 05:55.050 Oh I didn't select everything. 05:55.050 --> 05:55.940 Silly Billy. 05:55.940 --> 05:57.700 Like this unhide everything. 05:58.890 --> 06:02.080 And just the head and high beers. 06:02.100 --> 06:02.500 Okay. 06:02.730 --> 06:08.270 So I'm just going to explore what happens if we delete these vertices here right. 06:08.400 --> 06:11.670 That will create an edge loop inside of mcclatchey 12. 06:11.790 --> 06:15.890 Let's go ahead and delete this vertex here. 06:15.960 --> 06:19.400 Now create an edge loop of magnitude 14. 06:19.550 --> 06:20.060 That's the. 06:20.070 --> 06:21.130 This one here. 06:21.540 --> 06:24.490 And this is just one example of playing with the model. 06:24.510 --> 06:26.280 This will be 16. 06:26.360 --> 06:26.960 OK. 06:27.150 --> 06:30.230 So this point we've got a decision to make I'll be 18. 06:30.240 --> 06:31.320 That'll be 20. 06:31.320 --> 06:37.590 So this is one way you could approach it so we've got a massive great big hole in the head. 06:38.610 --> 06:43.970 So we could bring those together and that's going to cause a bit of pinching so we could play with that 06:43.970 --> 06:44.580 too. 06:44.730 --> 06:48.570 You know a little bits without being too destructive. 06:48.730 --> 06:50.930 You can make a hole in the head completely. 06:51.130 --> 06:56.190 Okay so I'm going to leave it like that for the moment and just see what happens when I do a little 06:56.190 --> 07:01.840 bit of merging because this may work it may not is a you know it's all about experimentation sometimes. 07:01.890 --> 07:03.530 And there we go. 07:03.590 --> 07:05.750 Got two edged loops sorted. 07:05.940 --> 07:06.350 Let's. 07:06.360 --> 07:08.730 Bridge edge loops and see what happens. 07:08.760 --> 07:09.610 Okay. 07:09.780 --> 07:12.680 Now does that destroy the top ology. 07:12.680 --> 07:14.470 How much pinching do we have from. 07:14.490 --> 07:17.830 Case So here's some horrible pinching behind. 07:17.880 --> 07:22.560 There's a little bit stretching towards the ear which is fair enough. 07:22.560 --> 07:28.520 And as a little bit underneath but actually has worked out relatively well. 07:28.530 --> 07:29.640 I on it. 07:29.650 --> 07:34.960 I'll be honest with you I was not expecting it to be quite so for chewits doing that. 07:34.980 --> 07:42.450 Okay so I'm gonna stick with this and I'm going to add in an extra edge loop around here and I'm going 07:42.450 --> 07:50.940 to use the smooth virtex command to try and smooth that out a little bit more. 07:50.990 --> 07:53.190 I'm probably going to select this one up here. 07:53.260 --> 07:54.930 It's edge looped round here. 07:55.200 --> 07:58.180 Okay so we've got a couple of breaks in flow here. 07:58.440 --> 07:59.250 Do we want. 07:59.250 --> 08:05.940 So this edgerley running around here is broken up there and we've also got a five pole here so that 08:05.940 --> 08:13.110 to me is kind of okaying kind of not so we've got a flow around the top and the bottom of the ear and 08:13.110 --> 08:15.190 then we've got this flow in the middle here. 08:15.300 --> 08:19.200 It would kind of be nice not to have too many of these pinch points. 08:19.200 --> 08:27.300 So for instance it would be better if this point here was merged somewhere up here if possible or at 08:27.300 --> 08:31.780 the top here so we've not got the she flow round. 08:31.810 --> 08:34.620 Okay we've got another pinch point here for example. 08:34.620 --> 08:40.650 So there's lots of little playing we can do around our model itself to try and get it looking just that 08:40.650 --> 08:45.510 little bit neater and of course the the model itself gets quite dense around here. 08:45.510 --> 08:50.310 In fact the whole air itself you can see that because the top colleges are being pushed down rather 08:50.310 --> 08:54.300 than going around that's causing a little bit of a problem. 08:54.300 --> 09:01.650 So around here perhaps if we take the edge flow and try and redirect it round of the year rather than 09:01.710 --> 09:06.500 into the year that will stop this sort of funnel affect that's going on. 09:06.510 --> 09:12.880 So I'm just going to manipulate these vertices for a moment and I will see back in a few moments. 09:13.940 --> 09:21.460 Okay so having a look at the model now I have redirected some of the edge loops around. 09:21.620 --> 09:27.290 I believe I've gotten rid of all the unnecessary junk that did exist. 09:27.290 --> 09:28.640 There are a couple of things to do. 09:28.640 --> 09:32.380 Like the fact that this ear is in fact sticking out of the head. 09:32.390 --> 09:34.680 A very weird angle. 09:34.820 --> 09:40.250 I've had a look at the back of the head and I don't have this bulge that exists on my ear coming out. 09:40.250 --> 09:41.320 We have a look there. 09:41.390 --> 09:45.720 Apologies out so a couple of ways of resolving that would. 09:45.770 --> 09:56.270 Well there's two ways we can either movie in or this part of the model needs to not be bulging so much 09:56.330 --> 10:02.700 so we can go along here and select the appropriate edges that we want to move. 10:06.430 --> 10:07.270 Excellent. 10:07.270 --> 10:10.710 Kevin this edge loopier G twice. 10:10.720 --> 10:12.310 And just shift along there. 10:12.310 --> 10:15.830 How's that looking much better much more smooth. 10:15.830 --> 10:18.470 It just needs to be pulled out ever so slightly. 10:18.610 --> 10:23.480 Okay let's hop back into object mode and have a look around the model. 10:23.500 --> 10:25.220 Any nasty pinching. 10:26.120 --> 10:29.470 Now no nasty pinching Okay that's looking pretty good. 10:29.470 --> 10:35.630 The only thing that I don't like here is this rage that's going on here that needs to be pretty smooth. 10:35.640 --> 10:42.760 And that again is a product of this edge here just being too low. 10:42.760 --> 10:47.490 Of course if we lift it up don't quite get there entirely. 10:47.500 --> 10:51.980 So I'm going to try just smoothing those out. 10:52.270 --> 10:56.070 All of these around here huffin as the last thing I used as well. 10:56.080 --> 10:56.850 Yet there you go. 10:56.920 --> 11:00.000 Moving the virtex Okay there's Hopkins of. 11:00.010 --> 11:00.930 Looks a bit better. 11:00.930 --> 11:02.280 Not quite there yet. 11:02.380 --> 11:06.760 Again there's quite a bit of bunched up information here. 11:06.760 --> 11:12.330 The question I now have is is this age loopier even necessary. 11:12.340 --> 11:15.050 I'm going to guess not. 11:15.100 --> 11:19.200 And to have room dissolve the edges so disappears. 11:19.210 --> 11:21.440 That should get rid of some of our issues. 11:21.610 --> 11:25.080 And then the next question is is this one of any use. 11:25.090 --> 11:28.780 And again I don't think it is so. 11:28.930 --> 11:36.430 Again we want as much geometry as necessary but as little as possible that is looking a lot neater already 11:36.460 --> 11:39.090 and a lot smoother because of it. 11:39.220 --> 11:39.970 Excellent. 11:40.030 --> 11:47.510 Okay so the final thing is this bit here I am looking at the reference material. 11:48.070 --> 11:52.220 Let's just make sure it all looks okay so it's not quite there yet. 11:52.240 --> 11:57.040 We've still got a few issues along that stop. 11:57.430 --> 12:00.330 Let's go into perspective mode as well. 12:01.450 --> 12:07.890 Where's my model gone come up then it just makes it a little bit easier working around here. 12:07.900 --> 12:16.510 I don't know what camera I've got set up to scroll down and have not seen that it's in a bit too wide 12:16.600 --> 12:19.320 angled so lens here. 12:19.420 --> 12:22.780 No it's set to 35 on the set 50. 12:22.900 --> 12:30.130 So it's not so and barrelled as we're moving about how Kate so that looks fine. 12:30.130 --> 12:36.310 It's just it's now after all that manipulation and moving some of the bits are missing. 12:36.310 --> 12:40.950 So this area here needs moving down. 12:41.170 --> 12:43.960 Now as you can see it's very easy to push it through itself. 12:43.960 --> 12:49.810 Some of the term proportional editing on and try moving that again and then it will move the lock the 12:49.810 --> 12:53.850 whole lot at once as it moved back round to the side. 12:53.920 --> 12:56.250 So give myself a bit more space as well. 12:56.440 --> 12:56.740 Okay. 12:56.740 --> 13:01.960 This topic here this just needs lifting up and he's lifting up from here. 13:01.960 --> 13:03.420 By the looks of it it's. 13:05.150 --> 13:10.320 This back bit here and this top bit here or bit fiddling. 13:10.340 --> 13:11.150 There we go. 13:11.340 --> 13:16.810 Let's whiz background to the side and literally just lift that's up. 13:17.590 --> 13:17.930 Okay. 13:17.930 --> 13:18.890 That looks good. 13:18.890 --> 13:22.220 This top bit here needs pressing back in. 13:22.220 --> 13:24.130 So again back down to the side. 13:25.460 --> 13:30.360 That's move it back ever so slightly have a go that's a better shape. 13:30.410 --> 13:39.190 And again I'm half using the reference material for you know getting it right. 13:39.240 --> 13:45.700 But on the flip side I'm also using my judgment on what I think looks good in this particular case. 13:45.700 --> 13:54.010 Now if you were trying to do a case study of a real person obviously the better you pay attention to 13:54.010 --> 13:58.360 their features the better the model will end up looking. 13:58.360 --> 13:59.230 Simple as that. 13:59.490 --> 14:09.970 I'm just going to pull this bit in these set of verses here and pull them into the model slightly. 14:10.420 --> 14:11.000 There you go. 14:11.060 --> 14:11.910 My liking. 14:11.920 --> 14:13.090 That's OK. 14:13.110 --> 14:16.470 Hey right let's whiz back out again. 14:16.480 --> 14:19.420 There's lots of whizzing back out and forward and out. 14:19.440 --> 14:21.780 Okay the ear looks much better now. 14:21.790 --> 14:23.340 I'm happy with that. 14:23.350 --> 14:24.880 How did your ear go. 14:24.880 --> 14:30.290 Does it now look good when it's attached to your head or any disc these eyes out shortly. 14:30.460 --> 14:32.960 We'll get round to the front of the face very shortly. 14:33.010 --> 14:36.280 Case I'm um like in that that looks really nice. 14:36.280 --> 14:37.430 How's yours getting on. 14:37.570 --> 14:43.210 Please share your head as it is at the moment in the discussions and I will see you guys in the next 14:43.210 --> 14:43.820 lecture.
