WEBVTT 00:00.180 --> 00:06.390 Welcome to adding detail with sculpting in this video will see that detail can be added to our model 00:06.420 --> 00:08.420 in various ways. 00:08.430 --> 00:14.330 We're going to use in this case the multi resolution modifier to create derived data. 00:14.340 --> 00:22.770 Now what I mean by derived data is it's implied data is generated by a blender and anything that's generated 00:22.770 --> 00:31.470 for us saves a lot of time whether it's a render of an image or extra geometry of our model using that 00:31.470 --> 00:37.410 derived data is better than trying to produce it manually because it would take forever and we're going 00:37.410 --> 00:41.710 to sculpt the rest of the facial detail that we need. 00:41.730 --> 00:43.490 Now there are other options. 00:43.590 --> 00:49.410 You can manually move vertices Bout's and add more verses that is ill advised. 00:49.410 --> 00:55.170 The more detail you have on your model the harder and harder it is to work with. 00:55.170 --> 01:00.930 That's why the tools like the multi rays modifier exist so or even subdivision modifier that's why it 01:00.930 --> 01:09.060 exists so it's based upon your basic model that you've got with the bare minimum amount of vertices 01:09.120 --> 01:09.690 in it. 01:09.840 --> 01:15.180 And then we can smooth things out with various other techniques and the complete answers of course could 01:15.180 --> 01:18.000 potentially paint the details straight away. 01:18.000 --> 01:22.770 So once we've got our wrinkle maps and everything else all sorted on our model we're probably not going 01:22.770 --> 01:24.460 to do that in this particular video. 01:24.480 --> 01:30.840 We still got the the main features to bulk out but you could potentially if you were a skilled artist 01:31.080 --> 01:33.810 paint in the details that were necessary. 01:33.840 --> 01:35.570 We're not going to do that at this point. 01:35.850 --> 01:36.540 Okay. 01:36.690 --> 01:41.110 So without any further loop Let's hop straight on over in a blender. 01:42.920 --> 01:49.280 Okay so back over in blender there are a couple of things we need to sort out before Ideally we get 01:49.280 --> 01:54.250 to sculpting this area here is absolutely horrible. 01:54.260 --> 02:02.270 Now I've got a worry here that's the model itself is going to end up looking horrible. 02:02.270 --> 02:10.610 If I don't sort this out before we get to using the malty rez tool am special in sculpting some skin 02:10.610 --> 02:17.060 to pull that out there try not to create too much of a bump around me eye itself and it just basically 02:17.060 --> 02:20.550 looks like some of the I is not forward enough. 02:20.720 --> 02:26.270 I think it's going to be literally as straightforward as that so I'm going to go into wireframe mode 02:26.270 --> 02:32.080 to see if I can grab the virtex I need and pull that forward and up and over. 02:32.090 --> 02:33.980 Okay that is looking better. 02:34.070 --> 02:43.720 I'm not quite liking this huge area here inside there so I'm going to move the I A little bit about 02:44.120 --> 02:47.410 again using a bit of artistic licence here. 02:48.500 --> 02:51.230 And just view it from the side to make sure it's. 02:51.250 --> 02:53.150 No that's that's fine. 02:54.970 --> 02:56.800 That's also not too far off. 02:56.800 --> 03:00.080 The only thing we've got here now of course is. 03:01.880 --> 03:02.880 Yeah that's fine. 03:02.900 --> 03:06.640 Is this area at the top where we've got this. 03:06.670 --> 03:08.120 I eyelid. 03:08.150 --> 03:15.020 That's not really over the I at the moment so looking at it from this angle and would turn on proportional 03:15.080 --> 03:17.730 editing that's going to be very useful. 03:17.780 --> 03:24.280 I'm literally going to pull the eyelid up into that roughly the right place. 03:24.290 --> 03:29.960 Now of course one of the issues here is the eyelid is a three dimensional object is a lip over the eyes 03:29.960 --> 03:38.150 so we don't really want it intersecting the I we just want it to literally be a lip over the eye so 03:38.150 --> 03:46.070 we can play about this about with that for a little bit to try and get it in the right place and that 03:46.070 --> 03:47.100 is almost there. 03:47.180 --> 03:52.620 It's going to decrease the size of my proportional on her didn't have proportional editing turned on. 03:52.640 --> 03:55.540 I thought I did that would have probably helped. 03:55.610 --> 03:56.590 Moment ago. 03:57.790 --> 04:00.230 So that's almost there. 04:01.120 --> 04:04.950 Let's bring this up a little and this one down. 04:05.060 --> 04:10.880 And again tweaking and tweaking and tweaking to you get roughly the right shape for you want. 04:11.080 --> 04:11.330 Okay. 04:11.350 --> 04:14.110 So that's looking better I need to redefine the top of the eye. 04:14.170 --> 04:16.810 But I think I can do that in sculpting. 04:16.810 --> 04:18.760 That's looking much much better. 04:18.760 --> 04:24.470 Let's look at it from the front again and again there's actually a ridge that runs round the I. 04:24.640 --> 04:26.760 Right at the very bottom GRC. 04:26.770 --> 04:28.480 There we can see it. 04:28.510 --> 04:30.720 And I don't have that ridge at the moment. 04:30.720 --> 04:32.010 It would be nice to have it. 04:32.170 --> 04:34.680 So I will model that in due course. 04:34.750 --> 04:37.390 But let's get on with this sculpting. 04:37.600 --> 04:44.560 I'm going to get rid of the subsurface division modify big cars the multi resolution modifier is going 04:44.560 --> 04:46.240 to do that for us. 04:46.240 --> 04:49.380 So let's go ahead we can't apply it in object mode. 04:49.410 --> 04:50.660 So subdivide. 04:50.740 --> 04:56.990 I'm going to go to five times and that's going to give me 2 million polygons to work with. 04:57.190 --> 05:00.970 And I can see a problem straightaway we get a ridge. 05:01.030 --> 05:03.760 This mirror ridge down the middle of our model. 05:03.760 --> 05:09.940 Now that's not a big issue at this particular point because all we need to do is apply the mirror modify 05:10.210 --> 05:13.160 boom it's all sorted now. 05:13.360 --> 05:18.580 One of the issues may be that later on you need to come back and do something to one side of the model 05:18.610 --> 05:24.220 and you want it to be mirrored on the other and not sculpting because when we sculpt when we go hop 05:24.220 --> 05:26.040 into sculpt mode. 05:26.090 --> 05:31.480 Elise you've changed your settings so just a reminder there's a symmetry on the tool shelf mirrored 05:31.480 --> 05:38.920 along the x axis so I'm automatically going to have a mirror going on or out without needing to worry 05:38.920 --> 05:39.380 about that. 05:39.400 --> 05:44.990 But if you need to alter the actual underlying geometry you'll have to reapply the mirror modify it 05:44.990 --> 05:48.540 the easiest way to do that is to hop round to the front. 05:49.030 --> 05:55.860 Go to a wire frame mode put a border select on select half your model and delete the vertices. 05:56.050 --> 06:01.660 And there you go you've now got half a model that you come back in and add a mirror modifier to and 06:01.660 --> 06:05.240 you should be roughly back up to where you were before. 06:05.290 --> 06:05.920 Okay. 06:06.100 --> 06:11.980 Now the other thing that we'll want to do before we really start getting to sculpting is trying get 06:11.980 --> 06:19.650 this low poly mesh not to look so cluttered around the high itself because that looks a little bit horrible. 06:19.720 --> 06:26.340 And if this is the mesh that we're going to be applying a normal map to once we've generated it. 06:26.410 --> 06:31.600 This whole mess around the eye itself may cause this problem so I'll cut. 06:31.690 --> 06:38.050 I'll come back to that and saw the how it looks okay once we've actually applied stuff or no it doesn't. 06:38.050 --> 06:42.370 We've got a face crossing over there so are there are a couple of things to sort out. 06:42.370 --> 06:43.620 That's right. 06:43.630 --> 06:46.730 So let's go ahead and apply our mirror modifier. 06:48.740 --> 06:50.080 But we were in edit mode. 06:50.080 --> 06:54.010 We're in now in sculpt mode let's be an object mode and apply that mirror modify. 06:54.010 --> 06:54.660 There we go. 06:54.940 --> 06:55.190 Okay. 06:55.210 --> 06:57.360 So we've got a little bit more to sort out of this. 06:57.370 --> 07:02.850 I hear not to worry we can come back and do that but let's have a look at the nose. 07:03.070 --> 07:10.600 Okay so remember when you're sculpting I'm going to knock back the preview before I go any further to 07:10.600 --> 07:11.460 three. 07:11.470 --> 07:15.750 So when we're moving around in the viewport it's not quite as busy. 07:15.790 --> 07:19.260 We're down to a quarter of a million rather than 2 million polygons. 07:19.450 --> 07:23.970 OK so now we've got a decent level when we go to sculpting you may find a little bit of a slowdown when 07:23.980 --> 07:30.020 switching between them and just a reminder of your sculpting tool so you got your brush types here. 07:30.100 --> 07:31.540 Feel free to play with them. 07:31.540 --> 07:34.990 I do like Clay strips for instance under the eyes. 07:35.090 --> 07:38.720 Then you can hold down Shift to smooth that out. 07:39.010 --> 07:43.560 And there we go we start to start to get a bit of definition to the skin there. 07:43.720 --> 07:49.900 And let's say the bridge of the nose if I wanted to build that up I could go along and do that here 07:49.990 --> 07:51.080 as well. 07:51.080 --> 07:53.130 I added a bit around the eye there. 07:53.130 --> 07:53.710 There we go. 07:53.860 --> 07:56.170 So we can start building that up very quickly. 07:56.170 --> 08:01.670 You've got to control the size of the brush shift and efforts to control the strength of the brush. 08:01.840 --> 08:05.580 We've got radius and strength here as well on the top shelf. 08:05.980 --> 08:11.920 Now one of the things that often gets people is when you've zoomed out like this Your brush is very 08:11.920 --> 08:14.910 very big even though you've not changed it. 08:15.070 --> 08:20.950 If we zoom in it can be very very small creating very minor detail. 08:21.040 --> 08:26.470 So there are pluses and minuses to zooming out just bear in mind that the radius of your brush is also 08:26.470 --> 08:29.470 affected by the zoom level you're currently at. 08:29.710 --> 08:32.170 K. A final few things down here. 08:32.170 --> 08:37.110 Often it's quite nice to have a texture on your model as well. 08:37.240 --> 08:42.520 And this is a texture for the brushes self we want this texture of texture. 08:42.520 --> 08:47.530 Yes is this texture so we can go ahead and create a new texture and there's nothing there at the moment. 08:47.530 --> 08:50.600 But this new texture will now be available. 08:50.770 --> 08:57.030 We can see texture 0 0 1 I presume yep is over here in the texture's tab. 08:57.710 --> 09:04.130 Here Okay so there's nothing there at the moment but what we can do here is instead of the type of being 09:04.130 --> 09:07.400 an image if you've got an image great you can use that. 09:07.640 --> 09:14.630 But for instance here I can go to all which is the one I had like let's just do marble just for the 09:14.630 --> 09:15.500 sake of it. 09:15.500 --> 09:22.580 Now we've got that so you can see that the brush itself is going to have a marbled affect to it. 09:22.580 --> 09:28.760 Sunday is going to smooth that sound along there and let's try something like inflate. 09:28.760 --> 09:34.150 So now when I when I'm actually painting on the model of we got the harp not applied the textureless 09:34.160 --> 09:41.330 apply a texture and there we go we start getting some wrinkles in the skin rather than just a smooth 09:41.330 --> 09:41.880 lump. 09:41.990 --> 09:49.380 So if you've got I mean this is far too small for here so let's try bumping this up to five by five. 09:50.550 --> 09:53.680 And that should bring out the detail a little bit more. 09:53.980 --> 09:54.870 Oh there we go. 09:54.870 --> 10:02.190 So if you wanted to create veins on the surface or something along those lines you can use textures 10:02.430 --> 10:03.540 to help you do that. 10:03.540 --> 10:07.020 I mean this would be someone with a serious illness. 10:07.110 --> 10:14.730 But now we can hold down Shift and start smoothing out that detail so it's not quite what doesn't come 10:14.730 --> 10:16.320 through quite as much then. 10:16.460 --> 10:22.020 And of course if you've got I mean that's blurring it's but you can see adding some texture to the skin 10:22.020 --> 10:24.570 can add much more detail. 10:24.570 --> 10:32.700 In fact if you are doing a zombie you know having veins or something like that coming out of well that's 10:32.760 --> 10:33.690 that's just brilliant. 10:33.690 --> 10:37.400 Now I mean that could be a burn on someone's face or something on those lines. 10:37.450 --> 10:40.630 Of course if you're into zombies it could be a zombie thing. 10:40.710 --> 10:41.210 Okay. 10:41.220 --> 10:46.200 So now we've explored the different brush types and the starting of the sculpting. 10:46.200 --> 10:47.980 It's time for a challenge. 10:48.090 --> 10:54.640 Okay I'd like you to go ahead and add your detail so make sure your low poly mesh is neat. 10:54.750 --> 11:00.930 I've got that problem with my I was moving things about without really thinking and end up pushing some 11:00.930 --> 11:06.600 geometry through itself of China sculpt with geometry pushed through itself. 11:06.600 --> 11:14.460 You end up with some horrible pinching that even smoothing something out is not going to help with Apply 11:14.460 --> 11:20.770 your mirror modifiers he don't get a horrible crease down the middle and set up your malty redd's modifier. 11:20.880 --> 11:25.480 Be cautious of how high triangle count you end up with. 11:25.560 --> 11:30.030 I've gone up to five subdivisions and that's given me two million. 11:30.030 --> 11:33.130 Of course it will depend on the number of polygons you have to start with. 11:33.260 --> 11:39.960 That's fine for sculpting and then lower down at the actual preview setting much lower so you can see 11:39.960 --> 11:45.260 what's going on and in the viewport when you're in object mode much more smoothly. 11:45.270 --> 11:52.470 Remember to save your work or even save as the process you're about to do is destructive. 11:52.470 --> 11:57.770 You are changing the geometry so it can be very difficult especially with sculpting. 11:57.870 --> 12:02.580 The uh don't rely on the undo buffer when you're sculpting when you're sculpting you're going to do 12:02.580 --> 12:09.440 lots of little brush strokes and will very easily go over the amount of underuse to get back from to 12:09.510 --> 12:10.590 wherever you want to go. 12:10.590 --> 12:15.360 Fair enough if you make one or two mistakes but if you decide no I don't like but I want to go back. 12:15.390 --> 12:22.380 Well you know kind of stuffed because you've changed the underlying geometry start sculpting your macro 12:22.380 --> 12:23.460 detail. 12:23.910 --> 12:28.240 Okay so were talking about the areas around the nose the lips. 12:28.350 --> 12:35.790 Bring out the cheek bones the jaw line etc. start moving those bits about and start really defining 12:35.790 --> 12:37.590 the overall shape of your model. 12:37.590 --> 12:39.220 It's very basic at the moment. 12:39.270 --> 12:43.080 We're going to hone in on that detail and then go ahead. 12:43.080 --> 12:48.930 After you've done the macro detail to add in some fine details do you want to add in a couple of wrinkles. 12:48.930 --> 12:51.660 Do you want to add in a fold in the skin. 12:51.660 --> 12:55.950 Perhaps there's lots of different options but we can already see. 12:56.010 --> 12:57.520 Remember the texture brush. 12:57.540 --> 13:02.760 You don't have to do something quite as extreme as the zombie or the burn victim. 13:02.770 --> 13:10.710 I've just done a home but you can use less air noise texture to start putting in little dimples in the 13:10.710 --> 13:12.080 skin as well. 13:12.210 --> 13:13.140 Okay. 13:13.350 --> 13:16.260 Share your word in the discussions after you've done this. 13:16.260 --> 13:17.250 They're going to be epic. 13:17.250 --> 13:18.760 They're going to look really good. 13:18.810 --> 13:20.010 So are you proud of your work. 13:20.010 --> 13:22.030 Make sure you share it okay. 13:22.130 --> 13:24.700 Pause a video now and give that a go. 13:27.190 --> 13:28.710 Okay guys welcome back. 13:28.860 --> 13:33.310 Let's go hop back on over into a blender and start applying some detail. 13:33.630 --> 13:38.010 Okay so let's go ahead and start adding some detail. 13:38.160 --> 13:40.890 Now I've got a couple of things to do here. 13:40.890 --> 13:45.440 Number one I need to make sure that the base mesh is good to go. 13:45.450 --> 13:48.160 So let's go ahead and sort that out now. 13:48.170 --> 13:51.040 So I'm going to apply the mirror modifier. 13:51.090 --> 13:54.420 Can't do it in edit mode so we're going to apply that mirror modifier. 13:54.480 --> 14:00.570 Now one of the things I have to bear in mind I'll just turned off the cage and viewing it in edit mode 14:00.900 --> 14:07.500 is that my mesh needs to be relatively clean and needs to be the final low poly version that I want 14:07.500 --> 14:08.840 to go for now. 14:08.850 --> 14:15.330 In this case this is quite low poly but the eye itself is a bit of a mess so I'm going to have to go 14:15.330 --> 14:18.550 and sort that out and the inner sticks out quite a bit. 14:18.630 --> 14:25.410 Now before I go ahead Russian delete things and do lots of other things that would potentially destroy 14:25.410 --> 14:26.360 what's there. 14:26.370 --> 14:34.290 The first thing to do is look at any geometry that's necessary that's important and then start working 14:34.290 --> 14:36.090 from that point forwards. 14:36.120 --> 14:44.010 So this in itself I suspect is going to be quicker to delete the what's there and remake it with everything 14:44.010 --> 14:46.000 in the right position including the eye. 14:46.020 --> 14:51.840 Because if we look at the eyeball itself note the eyeball is in the right place so I'll be careful when 14:51.840 --> 14:54.920 I move that that's Or I don't move that. 14:55.020 --> 14:58.010 But the rest of the eye is not quite right. 14:58.170 --> 15:00.080 So let's go in here. 15:00.090 --> 15:07.860 Okay so the first thing I'm actually going to do is apply a level a sub surface the Vission. 15:07.860 --> 15:15.420 So I've got some more geometry to work with and that is going to be about as low a poly as it's going 15:15.420 --> 15:15.660 to go. 15:15.660 --> 15:17.430 This is where the detail is going to be. 15:17.430 --> 15:24.480 Now I need a lower level like this because when we get to the details where the eyes are all around 15:24.480 --> 15:30.240 the is they're just going to have it's simply going to be too pointy to work with. 15:30.390 --> 15:36.570 But I think this I itself I'm going to have to go in and actually do some major surgery so I'm going 15:36.570 --> 15:40.730 to go ahead and do that now and I'll be back in a few moments. 15:45.110 --> 15:49.490 Okay so after doing a little bit of modelling I've read done this. 15:49.500 --> 15:52.990 I hear now we can see what it looked like before on this side here. 15:53.060 --> 15:58.340 So I've actually gone in and removed some unnecessary face loops and I probably do the same around the 15:58.340 --> 16:00.470 rest of this model especially on the fore head. 16:00.590 --> 16:05.840 It's going to be too much detail needed on the fore head so I can select a particular face loop and 16:05.840 --> 16:11.770 dissolve the edges and just basically thin it out a little where it's just not necessary. 16:11.780 --> 16:17.560 Now the remaining thing here of course is because I've done it after applying that mirror modifier. 16:17.720 --> 16:20.240 I will in fact need to whiz round to the front. 16:20.240 --> 16:26.750 I'm going to go to wire framo to do this with border select and actually select all of those vertices 16:27.170 --> 16:28.170 and delete them. 16:28.560 --> 16:33.860 And because I'm happy with the general layout for the moment I can go ahead go to the mirror modifier 16:34.040 --> 16:37.620 and just click apply whilst in object mode. 16:37.790 --> 16:40.400 And um back ready to start sculpting. 16:40.490 --> 16:43.280 So let's bring a model back round. 16:43.280 --> 16:47.390 I've applied a multi rose here I'd do that again. 16:47.480 --> 16:49.320 So multi resolution modifier. 16:49.430 --> 16:54.020 And I'm going to subdivide it and I'm going to pay attention here. 16:54.020 --> 16:59.930 I'm going to subdivide it four times should take me to just under two million triangles gives me a nice 17:00.260 --> 17:01.280 area to work with. 17:01.280 --> 17:05.890 I look quite sad there at the moment with the expression on the face. 17:06.030 --> 17:11.870 A whiz round into the profile modes and we can use that to work on the shape of our model and I will 17:11.870 --> 17:17.560 see you guys back in a few moments after I finish sculpting I'm going to start work on the nose. 17:19.280 --> 17:23.720 So the nose itself is coming along really nicely and I wanted to take this opportunity to just show 17:23.720 --> 17:26.870 you the clay brush itself these clay strips. 17:26.870 --> 17:32.140 They're one of my favourites so I'm just going to muck around here do it in more detail later on. 17:32.170 --> 17:36.890 I've applied some under the eye there and then I can literally hold down Shift and smooth that out and 17:36.890 --> 17:39.430 then add a few more and smooth those out. 17:39.560 --> 17:45.550 It's very easy to build up let's say in this case bags under the eyes or things like that. 17:45.620 --> 17:52.830 It just helps make detail where you need to build something out or have a crease in the eye line. 17:52.950 --> 17:55.930 And let's say at the top here we want to bring that out. 17:55.970 --> 18:02.150 We could do very easily and of course I'm not going to keep most of those changes I'll go back and sort 18:02.150 --> 18:02.520 them out. 18:02.690 --> 18:10.250 But the clay brush itself is very very powerful and the smoothing afterwards just hold now shift will 18:10.970 --> 18:16.490 automatically goes over that's moving that enables you to get out rough things or where it's pinched 18:16.490 --> 18:18.360 in too much say on the on the. 18:18.380 --> 18:19.750 I hear I can see this. 18:19.750 --> 18:23.830 This Crisco running down here just kind of smooth that out a little. 18:23.870 --> 18:24.690 Perfect. 18:24.830 --> 18:28.370 Okay so I'm back and this is what I've got so far. 18:28.370 --> 18:32.410 So we've spent a couple of minutes sculpting out here. 18:32.420 --> 18:39.410 I've literally skipped backwards and forwards between sculpting level so if I wanted macro detail I 18:39.430 --> 18:46.250 could put tahn and then bring it back down in to fine a detail level for I've never gone over Level 18:46.250 --> 18:53.300 4 and I've also remember to apply the base which then goes ahead and changes the underlying mesh to 18:53.300 --> 18:56.320 do well to match or sculpting a bit more closely. 18:56.330 --> 19:01.880 Now what I have found that did was it ruined my nose it pushed the geometry through itself but that's 19:01.910 --> 19:07.610 not a big problem because it just meant I need redo it any way because it wasn't suitable for the mesh. 19:08.060 --> 19:10.300 So this is our underlying mesh at the moment. 19:10.530 --> 19:11.310 Oh my word. 19:11.310 --> 19:12.740 There's something crazy going on here. 19:12.740 --> 19:14.330 Did I just do that yes I did. 19:14.330 --> 19:14.850 Phew. 19:14.960 --> 19:18.920 I thought I'd sculpted something crazy I just accidentally clicked and moved to town. 19:18.920 --> 19:21.650 Good job of swotted that Skinner saved my work. 19:21.650 --> 19:29.090 The final thing I think I'm going to do here is the chest areas not looking too great compare it. 19:29.110 --> 19:31.280 Well it's not had anything done to it yet. 19:31.400 --> 19:37.940 So using some clay strips thinking about where the muscles lie I can add a few bits of detail in here 19:38.300 --> 19:44.700 and literally smooth them out as well and that will help with the underlying shape. 19:44.750 --> 19:45.320 Excellent. 19:45.320 --> 19:47.090 How is yours coming along. 19:47.090 --> 19:49.010 Hope it's looking good. 19:49.010 --> 19:50.520 I'm really proud of mine. 19:50.510 --> 19:54.060 I hope you are of yours to remember to practice lots. 19:54.110 --> 19:59.020 Share your work in the discussions and I will see you guys in the next lecture.
