WEBVTT 00:00.300 --> 00:05.730 Welcome to this lesson where we will continue working on the skull head and the previous lesson since 00:06.150 --> 00:14.550 you last watched, I have finished following the outline of the silhouettes of the concept art and now 00:14.550 --> 00:19.910 we can move over to the right view, holding down spacebar, left clicking and going to right view. 00:20.670 --> 00:23.730 Now, we can see this is still kind of a box shape. 00:23.730 --> 00:26.950 And so we have a lot of work to do to pull this around correctly. 00:27.510 --> 00:33.000 One thing you also keep in mind is the fact that this is, you know, there aren't any subdivisions 00:33.270 --> 00:34.320 on the face yet. 00:34.860 --> 00:39.480 So we're going to still work kind of in a boxy fashion for as long as we need to. 00:39.720 --> 00:46.050 And I'm going to show you an interesting technique we can use to try to sculpt a more rounded shape 00:46.050 --> 00:46.290 here. 00:46.560 --> 00:52.170 So I'm going to go into my vertices mode here and just start pulling vertices around them and hit be 00:52.170 --> 00:57.420 to pull on self select just because I know the vertices around it are going to need to be over there 00:57.420 --> 00:57.990 somewhere. 00:58.140 --> 01:04.770 And also, I'm going to remember that I need to turn off some select and we're going to the inside edge 01:05.160 --> 01:10.440 of this concept, art, because the drawing lines are very thick. 01:10.800 --> 01:18.180 So we can also see where there's some discrepancy in where the actual top of the head was finishing. 01:18.630 --> 01:22.050 But, of course, you know, these drawings are not perfect. 01:22.440 --> 01:29.670 And this is where the skill of modeling comes into play, where you need to be able to interpret art 01:29.670 --> 01:36.460 and understand shapes in three dimensions going from a 2D drawing. 01:36.840 --> 01:41.990 So this is really the skill that's going to take quite some time to become proficient at. 01:42.450 --> 01:45.340 But again, you have to start somewhere. 01:45.360 --> 01:51.120 And so I'm going to speed this up for right now and then I will see you on one second. 02:12.020 --> 02:18.590 So now that we have this side profile done, I go over here to the appropriate editor and just turn 02:18.590 --> 02:21.230 down the transparency so we can actually see the object. 02:21.740 --> 02:25.530 You can see it has a lot of kind of ugly shapes to it. 02:25.550 --> 02:27.550 Right now, it's not circular in any way. 02:27.920 --> 02:30.150 So we need to resolve this somehow, OK? 02:30.590 --> 02:37.400 And because we can see that it's just kind of doesn't respect the three dimensions of this object in 02:37.400 --> 02:39.980 any way, like the nose goes all the way across. 02:40.160 --> 02:41.930 So we need to start dealing with that. 02:42.470 --> 02:48.790 And we can do that with adding more geometry here on the front, because we can see there there is none. 02:49.070 --> 02:52.520 So for us to resolve this, we need to add a lot of geometry here. 02:52.880 --> 02:58.370 But the problem is, if we start adding loops, I'm going to click the edge loop to go to the tool settings 02:58.890 --> 03:02.350 could have multiple edge loops and you to add a bunch of geometry here. 03:03.140 --> 03:06.590 It's all kind of concentrates up here through the top. 03:06.980 --> 03:10.040 And that's not really what we want. 03:10.430 --> 03:16.520 You know, we want to have the type of edge flow into biology we talked about earlier where things can 03:16.520 --> 03:17.960 redirect and whatnot. 03:18.200 --> 03:22.070 That's where the edge technique works sometimes. 03:22.070 --> 03:26.270 So we could start with a I'm just going to do that. 03:26.270 --> 03:32.120 We could start with a just a new plane and start working that way. 03:32.360 --> 03:40.620 We could also just kind of rough in the shape here with that topology that we don't like and then read 03:40.620 --> 03:44.230 topologies it and I'll explain how that works as well. 03:44.690 --> 03:50.900 So let's let's go ahead and go with the method that we tried here and add all this topology. 03:51.200 --> 03:54.170 OK, let's go in both directions here. 03:54.170 --> 03:58.310 So we have all this topology now and right. 03:58.310 --> 04:02.420 Click and go to object mode, but it's very boxy, like I said. 04:02.420 --> 04:06.560 So one thing that we can do is go to poly modeling and bring up a sphere. 04:10.010 --> 04:21.470 Because I know the general shape of the skull should be circular and I'm going to turn down the transparency 04:21.470 --> 04:30.140 again on the one we're currently working on and assign a new shader to the sphere so we can see that 04:30.650 --> 04:31.040 it's going to. 04:31.040 --> 04:31.220 Right. 04:31.220 --> 04:34.150 Click on it and go to assign new material, which is a Lambert. 04:34.640 --> 04:36.350 And now we can see that through. 04:37.100 --> 04:43.040 So I want to turn this one up, back a little bit because I can't really still want to see where it 04:43.040 --> 04:44.030 is relative to that. 04:44.600 --> 04:51.790 So basically what I'm doing is I'm trying to create the form of the top of the head, you know, roughly. 04:52.520 --> 05:00.290 And it looks like the back is the only thing that's kind of messed up maybe. 05:00.890 --> 05:05.210 So I'm just kind of getting this in a general shape. 05:08.400 --> 05:17.190 And I want to go to the vertex mode and I'm going to make sure symmetry is on which it is, and if you 05:17.190 --> 05:20.700 don't remember how to do that, go to the tool settings, get on the symmetry settings. 05:20.700 --> 05:24.170 And remember, we left that on from when I showed you how to do that. 05:24.540 --> 05:25.350 That's what it be. 05:25.890 --> 05:28.620 And I'm going to hold downby and middle mouse drag. 05:28.950 --> 05:30.670 So now I have a soft selection. 05:31.530 --> 05:40.680 So now what I can do is drag this in and it looks like I need to go in quite a bit. 05:40.680 --> 05:47.160 So I'm going to actually do a really big soft selection back here and select more of those vertices. 05:49.050 --> 05:53.220 And I know it's going to do it evenly because we have soft selection on. 05:54.420 --> 06:01.020 So something like that is going to drag this, maybe reduce the self selection a little bit. 06:05.070 --> 06:06.180 Drag this back. 06:08.020 --> 06:18.720 But the idea is just to kind of rough roughly get a more circular shape and form for these top areas. 06:19.480 --> 06:27.610 So when all right, click and go to object mode to get off of that, I select this object and then I'm 06:27.610 --> 06:35.950 going to actually select the sphere and go to this little magnet up here where we click this. 06:36.100 --> 06:41.380 You can see right here changed from no life surface to P Sphere one, which is the name of this object 06:41.380 --> 06:43.480 here, which we can't. 06:43.960 --> 06:48.120 It's hard to click there, but you can see that the outlines turn green. 06:48.130 --> 06:55.810 And what that indicates to us is the fact that if we go to a component mode like Vertex and I click 06:56.350 --> 07:04.870 one of these and I start to drag this around, it's going to snap to that sphere and I can move this 07:04.870 --> 07:06.610 all around and it's going to snap to the sphere. 07:06.860 --> 07:08.110 You can see if we hit four. 07:08.530 --> 07:11.430 There's a lot of crazy stuff happening, though, because we have to select on. 07:11.860 --> 07:18.760 So it's best not to select what this method and just two individual points, but as soon as I touch 07:18.760 --> 07:26.590 this, it's going to snap down so I can go through these and kind of get them, you know, in the general 07:26.590 --> 07:33.220 area of this sphere, let me choose several of them without self select and see if we can do kind of 07:33.490 --> 07:34.570 more than one at once. 07:34.820 --> 07:36.640 You can see it doesn't really like that. 07:37.180 --> 07:39.760 So you will have to kind of go through one by one. 07:40.420 --> 07:45.190 And if you're click dragging, selecting, you're going to probably select things behind this. 07:45.580 --> 07:47.470 So you want to be careful about that as well. 07:48.190 --> 07:52.300 So I'm going to take a minute to snap all of these points to the sphere. 07:57.240 --> 08:01.950 And just really quickly, I'm going to turn off symmetry, there's also a shortcut for it up here. 08:02.390 --> 08:10.800 Just turn that off and I'm going to select everything from the kind of top portion here except for maybe 08:10.800 --> 08:12.150 this bottom row. 08:14.470 --> 08:17.780 Let's let's turn on six again to so we can see the texture. 08:19.120 --> 08:20.120 Yeah, I'm going to turn off. 08:20.140 --> 08:30.810 I'm not going to select that bottom row here and I'm just going to move everything, let's say, down. 08:30.940 --> 08:32.980 But as I try to move it down, it's going to snap it. 08:33.670 --> 08:36.280 So it's spazzing out. 08:36.280 --> 08:36.990 And that's OK. 08:37.480 --> 08:40.210 Um, we can clean this up later. 08:41.500 --> 08:45.490 And the other method we can use is to use the relaxed tool. 08:45.850 --> 08:53.740 So I'm going to go to object mode, select this and go to the sculpting tools, go to relax and with 08:53.740 --> 08:59.620 a larger brush, I'm just going to kind of click and drag on these. 09:00.790 --> 09:07.330 And we've kind of, at this point abandoned the symmetry of the model. 09:07.900 --> 09:11.410 And that's OK, because we're going to essentially redo apologized this thing. 09:11.950 --> 09:14.410 And I'll show you what that means a little bit later. 09:14.410 --> 09:17.320 But we basically just kind of want to get the forms down. 09:17.680 --> 09:26.050 We could also later on do the symmetry thing where we kind of delete one half and then mirror it over. 09:26.320 --> 09:30.490 There's a lot of different ways to work and there's no one right way. 09:30.910 --> 09:38.170 There's just you know, you should know as many ways as much as you need so that when the time comes, 09:38.170 --> 09:44.830 you can kind of dip into that toolset and take advantage of all that knowledge, which is why it's helpful 09:44.830 --> 09:51.040 to learn techniques that you may not use immediately so that later on when you run across problems, 09:51.490 --> 09:52.990 you can deal with that. 09:54.310 --> 10:02.950 So if we go back to texture mode with six hydrosphere control H, I'm going to look at this model. 10:03.130 --> 10:06.640 You know, it's, you know, obviously a lot more rounded. 10:06.640 --> 10:10.210 There's still some issues here and back here on the corners. 10:10.570 --> 10:16.360 But for the most part, you know, it's a quick way to get a more rounder shape instead of having to 10:16.360 --> 10:22.720 pull, you know, vertices by vertices over, you know, of course, the bad thing is there is a lot 10:22.720 --> 10:24.730 of geometry here that we probably don't need. 10:25.000 --> 10:29.470 And and the previous step, we could have just probably gotten away with a lot less geometry. 10:29.770 --> 10:37.840 You can also just reduce this stuff, you know, doing like selecting like every other one and reducing 10:37.840 --> 10:39.520 the amount of topology here. 10:39.940 --> 10:41.950 So I'm going to shift right. 10:41.950 --> 10:45.310 Click and go to the edge and I'm going to do the same thing in the front. 10:46.870 --> 10:48.910 I'm just going to take out every other whoops. 10:49.270 --> 10:53.800 It's going to take out every other edge and. 11:00.700 --> 11:06.580 Shift the left click, go to the lead edge so we don't have to pull as many points around when we're 11:06.580 --> 11:10.150 editing things, that's one important thing to keep in mind. 11:10.870 --> 11:19.210 Early stages of modeling is to keep it as light as possible so that when you're editing, you're not 11:19.210 --> 11:20.830 having to pull a ton of points around. 11:21.400 --> 11:28.180 So I'm going to continue to clean this up with the relax sculpt tool, and I will see you in the next 11:28.180 --> 11:28.600 lesson. 11:28.630 --> 11:29.260 Thanks for watching.
