WEBVTT 00:00.690 --> 00:06.390 Welcome to the last lesson in the series of creating this Ghostbuster trap in between the previous lesson 00:06.390 --> 00:12.630 and this one, I just made this little back end piece here and I just basically did that with all the 00:12.630 --> 00:17.550 techniques we've already learned through to the top of it to make this little kind of a rim. 00:17.790 --> 00:21.990 And then I beveled all of the edges and also added this little kind of a wing here. 00:22.320 --> 00:28.380 So I added edge loops here and then I beveled those kind of corners there. 00:28.890 --> 00:32.670 And then finally I made this little piece that sticks out the back. 00:32.670 --> 00:41.310 And this is basically a cylinder that I reduced the number of subdivision axes down to eight to make 00:41.310 --> 00:44.640 it more like a some kind of nut that you would have to screw in there. 00:44.970 --> 00:50.940 And then this is just another cylinder that I extrude it out and then beveled all the edges to make 00:50.940 --> 00:54.810 this kind of port for the cord we're going to make in this lesson. 00:55.260 --> 00:58.020 So that's just an update on, you know, some updates I did that. 00:58.200 --> 01:00.420 You know, you've learned all these techniques already. 01:00.450 --> 01:02.370 Same thing for finishing up the southern side. 01:02.700 --> 01:08.010 Based on the reference, you know, you've easily already learned how to do this little panel. 01:08.010 --> 01:13.020 So I'll leave that up to you to finish up the other side with all the technique techniques we already 01:13.020 --> 01:13.500 learned. 01:14.690 --> 01:21.400 I also added a little thing here that I've seen some reference in the cylinder, beveled edges, same 01:21.420 --> 01:22.170 same kind of thing. 01:22.620 --> 01:24.180 So let's learn how to do this chord. 01:24.660 --> 01:30.090 Let's first revisit the idea of curves we did in the previous lesson. 01:30.810 --> 01:36.630 And that's going to be basically the template for how we're going to extrude a cylinder over this curve. 01:36.960 --> 01:41.620 So let's go to a top down view so we can see kind of where this is going to come out. 01:41.620 --> 01:46.290 And I'm going to have four to see through this thing so I can see where it's going to meet down there. 01:46.800 --> 01:49.130 We go to the curves and services kind of tab here. 01:49.160 --> 01:51.960 You can also go to create and go to curved tools. 01:51.960 --> 01:56.570 You can get the same kind of tools here so you can see the similarities there. 01:56.580 --> 02:03.240 I'm going go to the epi curve tool and open up the tool settings so that I can see that we're on three. 02:03.240 --> 02:09.750 KUBIC So it's going to start to interpolate kind of a rounded edge there as after I go three points. 02:10.230 --> 02:22.410 So I'm going to hit X to line up on the grid and then I'm just going to kind of make a sweeping kind 02:22.410 --> 02:25.350 of a curve cord path here. 02:25.830 --> 02:28.620 And this is just going to kind of trail off in the distance. 02:28.620 --> 02:31.170 You can make it be whatever you'd like it to be. 02:31.170 --> 02:35.950 But and of course, I'm going to hit enter and then you can always edit this later, right. 02:35.970 --> 02:42.300 Click and go to control vertex and then drag these around if you want to change the kind of curves that 02:42.300 --> 02:43.440 you've you've made. 02:43.800 --> 02:50.070 And we're going to need to do that at the insert point here because it's not matching where it's going 02:50.070 --> 02:50.970 to be inserting. 02:51.420 --> 03:00.480 So when I go up here and lift all of these and then bring this one in and have this kind of secondary 03:00.480 --> 03:05.820 one, make sure that it's going in straight, you can also rebuild the curve. 03:05.820 --> 03:10.290 If you didn't make enough points, you can see how it starts to kind of get a little jagged here. 03:10.290 --> 03:11.670 It's not like super smooth. 03:12.120 --> 03:19.770 So you can go to the curve selected, you can go to curves and then down the bottom there's rebuild. 03:20.070 --> 03:23.010 You can go to the options and uniform. 03:23.010 --> 03:26.730 You can set the number spans all these different types of options. 03:26.730 --> 03:28.800 But this is kind of the most common to set apply. 03:29.070 --> 03:30.630 You can see how it curved out this thing. 03:30.630 --> 03:32.220 You're going to undo it and then redo it. 03:32.640 --> 03:35.220 And so you can see it a little better. 03:35.220 --> 03:41.520 I'll zoom in here so I redo it and you can see how that kind of curves finishes it out. 03:41.970 --> 03:46.980 But the only issue is now when we go back in and control to see there's there's a lot more vertices 03:46.980 --> 03:47.490 control. 03:47.640 --> 03:55.920 So it's good to kind of get this working before you add a ton of vertices that then you have to control. 03:56.250 --> 04:01.290 If that's the case and you have a ton of vertices you can hit, be on your keyboard and that turns on 04:01.290 --> 04:01.950 self selection. 04:01.950 --> 04:07.350 You can hold me and middle mouse drag in the viewport to increase or decrease that self selection area. 04:07.680 --> 04:10.380 So that can be helpful if you have a ton of points to drag around. 04:10.800 --> 04:16.080 So I'm going to do something like that and we can adjust this later as well. 04:16.080 --> 04:25.170 But you roughly want to get this in the center of the thing and you want to have a shape that respects 04:25.170 --> 04:28.260 gravity and the weight of the cord and all that kind of good stuff. 04:28.260 --> 04:33.360 So we may need to get this on the ground sooner kind of thing. 04:34.260 --> 04:37.110 But yeah, you can mess with all that after the fact as well. 04:37.110 --> 04:43.430 But let's get to the meat of this thing where we need to extrude an actual curve over this thing or 04:43.740 --> 04:47.010 sorry, extrude a cylinder over this thing. 04:47.490 --> 04:50.820 So turn that off and close that down. 04:50.820 --> 04:56.130 And so now we need to create a poly model and grab a cylinder. 04:56.130 --> 04:57.660 And I'm going to. 04:58.140 --> 04:58.520 I know. 04:58.560 --> 04:59.340 Have it selected. 04:59.680 --> 05:03.400 Because I just created it, but also because I can see it in outliners don't have to like, you know, 05:03.400 --> 05:05.640 visually see it over there to know that it's selected. 05:06.070 --> 05:11.560 So I'm going to hold down, see which steps to curves and middle mouse drag that there. 05:11.950 --> 05:19.810 Then I'm going to rotate this down and maybe scale it down a little bit and roughly get it in line with 05:19.810 --> 05:20.330 this thing. 05:20.350 --> 05:22.360 There's a couple different ways you can extrude curves. 05:22.360 --> 05:29.530 You could you could grab a circular curve and do this as well, but then you would have to convert the 05:29.800 --> 05:38.170 nerve circle to a polygon which is under modify convert in terms of polygons. 05:38.470 --> 05:40.450 But let's just do with a polygon first. 05:40.460 --> 05:42.610 You can see how that is done. 05:42.950 --> 05:44.860 I'm going to select the faces of the polygon. 05:45.480 --> 05:51.400 I'm going to hit be to turn off soft selection control, click and select the ones I don't need. 05:52.280 --> 05:55.500 I'm going to shift select the curve, OK? 05:55.960 --> 06:07.840 And they're going to go to extrude that extrude and you can see something happened, but not exactly 06:07.840 --> 06:08.380 what we wanted. 06:08.680 --> 06:13.180 It looks like there's a face now at the very beginning of this curve here in the center when I turn 06:13.180 --> 06:16.180 on key faces on as well so we can see it. 06:16.450 --> 06:19.270 So if I hit five, you can see it kind of goes inside. 06:19.630 --> 06:22.750 That's because curves also have directions. 06:23.050 --> 06:28.030 I'm going to go back in the object mode and select the curve and we need to reverse the direction. 06:28.370 --> 06:38.280 So if I go to curves, reverse direction, now you can see the end of the curve is considered down here. 06:38.290 --> 06:40.670 So an extrude it, it's going to go in that direction. 06:41.130 --> 06:43.480 Problem is, it's not really respecting the curve that we drew. 06:43.750 --> 06:48.310 So we need to go into the extrusion options here. 06:48.620 --> 06:55.420 Let t and we need to increase the divisions and as we increase the divisions and let me just turn this 06:55.660 --> 07:02.320 pinwheel back to a normal speed as we increase these divisions, you can see that it's actually beginning 07:02.320 --> 07:07.390 to make the cord and that's just because it needed more information. 07:07.390 --> 07:07.690 Right. 07:07.930 --> 07:10.270 So this letter will max out at 25. 07:10.270 --> 07:11.650 You can type in higher value. 07:11.980 --> 07:12.460 We can. 07:12.730 --> 07:17.140 There's actually a taper value here as well that you can mess with and a couple other things. 07:17.140 --> 07:24.970 So basically, that's how you make a cord and the things to keep in mind as these subdivisions are based 07:24.970 --> 07:27.330 off the distribution of the curves in the curve. 07:27.670 --> 07:33.700 So if we hadn't have rebuild the curve, the distribution here would have been not as accurate. 07:33.710 --> 07:40.480 You can see here there are less, um, there are less points here. 07:40.480 --> 07:44.410 There's less edges here because there's less points in the curve. 07:45.040 --> 07:48.750 If I go to let me isolate it so I can. 07:48.760 --> 07:49.030 Right. 07:49.030 --> 07:49.540 Click on it. 07:50.200 --> 07:51.370 Control vertex. 07:51.790 --> 07:54.850 You can see that there's a big gap here between these two. 07:54.850 --> 07:56.440 So that's the same. 07:56.440 --> 07:59.290 It'll be reflected in the edges of the cylinder. 07:59.440 --> 08:01.360 There's less here than there are over here. 08:01.720 --> 08:03.070 So just keep that in mind. 08:03.490 --> 08:08.710 If we drag this over, it'll kind of group them, you know, and that's you can still edit this stuff 08:08.710 --> 08:09.880 after after the fact. 08:09.880 --> 08:12.040 Until you delete the history, you can edit this stuff. 08:12.520 --> 08:18.160 So the other thing we need to do, we can see if we can go into the poly cylinder and and change the 08:18.160 --> 08:23.140 original radius and we can, which is a super nice thing about keeping the history as even though this 08:23.170 --> 08:26.830 was we've done a lot of things to it since we created the cylinder. 08:27.460 --> 08:30.040 This first piece of history takes precedence, right. 08:30.400 --> 08:34.330 So we can still have that and we just can have five so we can see this in shaded mode. 08:34.990 --> 08:40.570 And the only thing I might do as rebuild the curve again so that we get a little more definition here 08:40.570 --> 08:46.570 and the cord single curves rebuild and let's just crank this up and then apply. 08:47.320 --> 08:58.600 And then we will probably need to increase the extrusion, the subdivisions, and it totally spouses 08:58.600 --> 08:58.870 out. 08:59.080 --> 09:06.250 Then it turns black because so this original one, sometimes this happens. 09:06.940 --> 09:13.330 So you want to keep in mind that you can't do more subdivisions than you are kind of allowed here from 09:13.330 --> 09:13.930 from the beginning. 09:13.930 --> 09:20.890 If we go a minimal drag so it goes back to the max default, you can get by middle mouse dragging. 09:21.250 --> 09:31.510 But if we keep increasing this and this edge here goes past this one, it'll flip the edge around itself. 09:31.510 --> 09:33.760 So then it flips all the faces inside out. 09:33.760 --> 09:36.940 So if you get this black thing, you've created too many divisions. 09:37.510 --> 09:39.910 So let's just go right before that happens. 09:40.450 --> 09:46.600 And now we have this kind of smoother looking curve and then we can also again. 09:49.260 --> 09:59.430 Go to the curve and push some points around if we still want to adjust where the kind of density of 09:59.430 --> 10:01.890 the edge loops are getting concentrated. 10:03.960 --> 10:11.100 Cool, so that's how you extrude an object, make a card, something like that, most mech and hard 10:11.100 --> 10:13.740 surface models have cords of some sort. 10:14.230 --> 10:21.570 And let's just right before we sign off here, let's just make sure we get the. 10:23.170 --> 10:31.330 Probably cylinder radius, correct, something in this neighborhood is a little closer point five. 10:33.430 --> 10:41.730 Cool, and then I'll just select the curve, isolate it and go to the control vertex, select the end 10:41.740 --> 10:50.110 one at B and drag this out a little bit and on isolate that and just get that right in the center there. 10:50.800 --> 10:51.810 So there you have it. 10:52.150 --> 10:59.260 We have created the Ghostbuster trap and we've done it with hard surface modeling techniques. 11:00.490 --> 11:07.180 In the next series of lessons, we're going to cover more organic modeling techniques and we're going 11:07.180 --> 11:13.530 to create a character that we will eventually use to rig and animate in later lessons. 11:13.660 --> 11:21.190 We're also going to revisit this model later on and texture it and maybe do some animating on this as 11:21.190 --> 11:21.520 well. 11:21.980 --> 11:23.950 Let's see what we have in store for that later. 11:24.280 --> 11:25.900 But great job. 11:25.900 --> 11:30.130 And following these lessons, if you've gotten this far, that's quite an accomplishment and it's a 11:30.130 --> 11:30.880 lot to take in. 11:31.240 --> 11:33.670 So just take your time and watch these. 11:33.670 --> 11:38.710 If you have any problems and you know, you can always pick up wherever. 11:38.710 --> 11:42.460 I'm just middle mouse dragging all this stuff into the top group. 11:42.460 --> 11:43.630 So it's all organized. 11:44.290 --> 11:50.500 Just, you know, you can come back and watch this stuff and ask me any questions that you may run into 11:50.530 --> 11:52.240 because, yeah, this stuff's not easy. 11:52.240 --> 11:55.450 And I admire you guys trying to learn this stuff. 11:55.450 --> 11:57.780 So I appreciate you watching and good luck. 11:58.090 --> 11:58.510 Thank you. 11:58.740 --> 11:59.740 See in the next series.
