WEBVTT 00:00.210 --> 00:05.280 In this lesson, we're going to start to model the eyes and we're also going to clean up the model a 00:05.280 --> 00:08.670 little bit when we start modeling, it's kind of like a sculptor with clay. 00:08.670 --> 00:10.400 It gets pretty messy, right. 00:10.410 --> 00:11.100 And that's OK. 00:11.100 --> 00:17.370 We're trying to find the form from the reference and kind of whittle away and build up and whittle away 00:17.370 --> 00:23.190 again and smooth out so things can get pretty messy with the topology that we learned about. 00:23.190 --> 00:27.900 Should be pretty follow the right kind of line flow and all that kind of stuff. 00:27.910 --> 00:31.740 But at the early stages, you know, you shouldn't be worrying about that too much and just kind of 00:31.740 --> 00:33.330 finding the form of it. 00:33.570 --> 00:36.780 So to clean up the model, I'm actually going to delete the left side. 00:36.780 --> 00:41.670 So I'm going to go to the front view and before I delete the left side, I'm going to go to the edge 00:42.000 --> 00:42.420 mode. 00:42.420 --> 00:44.790 And I'm a double click this kind of middle edge here. 00:45.120 --> 00:46.530 I'm going to go to scale. 00:46.530 --> 00:53.550 And because we have the negative scale attributes set, if I let a hold on are in left click prevent 00:53.550 --> 00:54.930 negative scale is turned on. 00:55.440 --> 01:01.560 When I scale this, it's going to flatten out that edge and have a hit W and then X and hold on X. 01:01.560 --> 01:06.190 It's going to snap this edge to the center line of the world here. 01:06.510 --> 01:15.690 So now I know if I go to my face mode and I select all the faces on this left side, I can just hit 01:15.690 --> 01:21.120 delete and there might be some stray pieces that you need to grab, but, you know, make sure you're 01:21.120 --> 01:22.840 not grabbing anything on the other side. 01:23.430 --> 01:27.330 So now we're working with just one side, and that's OK. 01:28.180 --> 01:34.350 So what we need to do is start to look at the line flow a little bit more so we can start to define 01:34.590 --> 01:36.930 areas that we need to work on, like the AI. 01:37.230 --> 01:42.690 So I'm going to scale this one in similarly, as I had done before. 01:43.230 --> 01:48.480 And actually I'm going to I'm going to d select this top because I liked the sphere that we had going 01:48.480 --> 01:48.870 up here. 01:49.200 --> 01:56.640 So I want to delete deselect those and then scale in this just kind of the front area here and push 01:56.640 --> 02:00.900 it over because we know we want the nose to have, you know, lines here. 02:00.900 --> 02:06.810 And if we look at the reference image, we know we're going to at the bare minimum, we're going to 02:06.810 --> 02:09.300 need a line here to hold the inner part of the eye. 02:09.870 --> 02:18.570 And I'm doing this now because we need to look at modeling the eye socket itself and deleting part of 02:18.570 --> 02:23.610 the geometry we already have and using the edge modeling technique instead for right now. 02:24.060 --> 02:30.480 So I'm going to go back to the perspective mode and kind of take stock of this where the edge edges 02:30.480 --> 02:33.990 are and see what I need to pull over, possibly. 02:34.560 --> 02:40.920 And I think we could maybe pull some of this over and deselect to the top. 02:40.920 --> 02:47.070 I want to go back to the front view, not having made that decision for to see that I have deselect 02:47.070 --> 02:49.520 on the backside of this thing the way that I want. 02:49.530 --> 02:56.250 I'm going to drag this over and select some of this stuff and drag it over to dislike the bottom kind 02:56.250 --> 03:06.450 of area and just trying to get this, this edge flow to start going a little more down the model as 03:06.450 --> 03:09.780 you would predict it so we can smooth that stuff out later. 03:09.780 --> 03:17.880 But what I'm trying to get at here is six on keyboard is we are going to delete these faces. 03:17.920 --> 03:23.940 OK, so I'm going to go back to the front view with this texture turned on so we can see the reference 03:23.940 --> 03:24.300 image. 03:24.720 --> 03:33.990 I'm going to select the faces that encompass this eye socket and delete them. 03:34.770 --> 03:39.440 We could extrude them if we wanted to. 03:40.140 --> 03:49.440 So another method could be going to custom and extruding this and going we go to the perspective view 03:50.490 --> 03:59.250 and we could, you know, keep faces on and kind of scale this in and try to make the the eye socket 03:59.250 --> 03:59.700 this way. 03:59.820 --> 04:02.670 But to me, it's just kind of too messy. 04:02.700 --> 04:08.940 And I would rather just kind of start from scratch and focus on making one component of the skull really 04:08.940 --> 04:12.390 well and then trying to just figure out later how to connect it up. 04:12.390 --> 04:14.430 So I just hit delete on that to delete it. 04:14.880 --> 04:21.360 And I'm going to bring in actually I'm just going to work with the edges that we already have something 04:21.360 --> 04:22.290 called the front view. 04:22.710 --> 04:30.510 And I'm going to grab this edge here and I'm going to start to really think about the edges and pull 04:30.510 --> 04:33.090 this in and rotate it. 04:35.850 --> 04:42.900 And get it to a point that is somewhat representative of the outline of the I. 04:46.400 --> 04:52.160 And I'm doing like every other edge, because I know the edge above it is going to follow. 04:53.660 --> 04:59.870 So, again, you know, when you think about EDG flow, we're going to start to see areas get pulled 05:00.260 --> 05:02.820 in ways that we can't really resolve right now. 05:03.350 --> 05:11.440 So what I'm going to do is actually just delete this face and I'm going to bring this edge over. 05:13.190 --> 05:20.870 Actually, I'm going to make another because I want to leave that inner edge, someone to undo that 05:20.870 --> 05:24.170 super quick and just hit the edge loop tool. 05:24.830 --> 05:27.410 I do not want 10 edge loops right there. 05:27.410 --> 05:30.710 So I'm going to click the tool settings, go to one. 05:31.220 --> 05:32.900 Doing it in the center is fine. 05:33.530 --> 05:38.000 And what I'm going to do is delete this face here. 05:40.160 --> 05:47.630 And turn off all this stuff so we get a better view, so now I have this kind of free edge you get in 05:47.630 --> 05:53.120 here now I have this free edge to start a different direction. 05:53.510 --> 05:59.990 OK, so I'm going to go to the right view to make sure we're kind of in line with where we need to be 05:59.990 --> 06:00.380 there. 06:00.950 --> 06:02.870 We can see that this is way too far back. 06:02.910 --> 06:07.120 I'm going to push this way back and I'm going to do the same here. 06:07.330 --> 06:11.320 I know we can do that now because we have that extra edge loop to hold the nose bridge. 06:11.900 --> 06:20.210 So now I know I can pull this stuff around and be roughly in the right spot and still keep that the 06:20.210 --> 06:20.660 bridge. 06:20.660 --> 06:27.260 I want to make sure that I'm not selecting that one the bridge edge loop as I'm going through here. 06:27.710 --> 06:29.360 So I'm going to bring this stuff in. 06:32.330 --> 06:35.900 And make sure we're kind of getting in the ballpark. 06:38.060 --> 06:44.210 A lot of modeling is a lot of back and forth, especially if you don't have a ton of experience, you 06:44.210 --> 06:52.460 know, this is time consuming stuff like most aspects of 3-D and that you are bound to learn if you 06:52.460 --> 06:53.090 haven't already. 06:53.540 --> 06:57.620 So this is just part of modeling and learning. 06:57.620 --> 07:09.830 3-D is, you know, taking your time and trying to imagine this stuff in 3-D and making that a reality 07:09.830 --> 07:13.150 here in the computer by pulling points around. 07:14.600 --> 07:24.980 And so this really starts to stress how you interpret things in 3D space, because we don't have like 07:24.980 --> 07:30.340 I said, you know, it's not like we have a drawing from every single angle that we're looking at. 07:30.350 --> 07:37.250 We have to interpret based on the art what we think the outline of this should be. 07:38.390 --> 07:38.750 Cool. 07:41.270 --> 07:51.920 So we kind of started getting it in the right space, the right depth, and you can also see why we're 07:51.920 --> 07:57.740 trying to work with his few edges as possible because it makes the work go so much quicker. 07:58.490 --> 08:03.920 So here's another example of me wanting to split off from the current edge flow. 08:04.190 --> 08:09.020 So I'm going to click the creative edge loop and the tool settings and turn relative distance so I can 08:09.020 --> 08:11.780 put this wherever I want it, which is right here at the top. 08:11.800 --> 08:12.070 Right. 08:12.080 --> 08:18.530 I want an edge loop here so that now I can take this edge and extrude it. 08:20.600 --> 08:26.150 And just pull this out, I'm not worrying about everything above it right now, I just want to make 08:26.150 --> 08:26.960 sure that. 08:29.140 --> 08:35.060 We're doing the I correctly at this time, and I worry about connecting everything up later. 08:35.080 --> 08:38.400 That's why that's why I taught the topology part first. 08:38.650 --> 08:44.330 So you'd understand the fact that, you know, and I and I actually just pull this off. 08:44.350 --> 08:48.820 There's like a straight line, a roughly straight line Maji to extrude again. 08:49.510 --> 08:50.680 There's roughly a straight line. 08:50.680 --> 08:56.980 You know, you can just get a perspective mode to make sure I'm rotating this edge in the right direction. 08:58.360 --> 09:02.740 If there's roughly a straight line like this in the design, you could just pull this edge out super 09:02.740 --> 09:09.850 far and then make edge loops later on on it where where there should be. 09:10.210 --> 09:15.390 So just to move and and work a lot quicker, that's one way to do it. 09:16.420 --> 09:26.470 So kind of wherever there's a kind of turning points in the shape, when it g again g it looks like 09:26.470 --> 09:28.750 we missed the the shortcut there. 09:28.750 --> 09:30.280 So I'm going to hit extrude from the menu, 09:34.240 --> 09:40.600 but that's just to work a lot quicker to pull edges past. 09:40.600 --> 09:45.700 You know, you don't have to stop every little centimeter to create an edge loop. 09:45.730 --> 09:49.660 You can, you can pull things really far and then make new edge loops later. 09:50.290 --> 09:55.990 So when things start to turn a corner, you will have to obviously have more edge loops like this. 09:56.920 --> 10:02.950 But, you know, take advantage of those straight areas so that you can not have to worry about too 10:02.950 --> 10:03.090 much. 10:03.100 --> 10:07.060 I'm also going to hold on our click left click and go to component. 10:07.540 --> 10:13.540 And now I can kind of scale up and down because before we scaling up like object space, which was up 10:13.540 --> 10:15.040 and down in world. 10:15.040 --> 10:20.080 So in component mode, you know, it's taking into account where the line is. 10:20.080 --> 10:23.680 So we're going up and down the line itself now, which is very, very helpful. 10:23.980 --> 10:27.630 Scaling things appropriately for what are our needs are at the moment. 10:28.150 --> 10:39.250 So just going to continue to drag this stuff out and make one last edge loop here and extrusion that 10:39.250 --> 10:41.410 is and cool. 10:41.710 --> 10:47.380 Now I'm just going to select to this edge and I'm going to go to edit mesh merge. 10:48.350 --> 10:54.860 And it's going to increase tolerance until those snap together and we have the outer kind of rim of 10:54.860 --> 11:00.490 the eye now, so that's looking pretty good considering how messy it was before. 11:00.500 --> 11:05.930 This still probably looks pretty messy to your eye, but let's look at it from the right view and get 11:05.930 --> 11:07.250 things lined up now. 11:07.640 --> 11:11.120 So I'm going to go to the face mode because, uh. 11:12.250 --> 11:18.070 You know, I can't it's harder to click the edge that we would be going for there, so. 11:19.680 --> 11:26.010 This is going to make things go a lot quicker now, I can actually select this kind of middle edge here 11:26.640 --> 11:28.970 to get this going in the right direction. 11:31.360 --> 11:31.710 Cool. 11:33.180 --> 11:39.580 So it's kind of, you know, all about switching between views and again, here you can see where the 11:39.630 --> 11:45.060 two drawings don't really line up and they don't sync up with what the drawing has. 11:45.090 --> 11:47.580 So you kind of have to start to interpret for yourself. 11:48.740 --> 11:50.900 And three dimensional space. 11:52.260 --> 12:00.480 What should be happening, some hitting be holding downby to change the size of it here and just trying 12:00.480 --> 12:07.330 to get things kind of roughly in the right area in space as well. 12:07.890 --> 12:09.630 What we need to start thinking about, too. 12:10.440 --> 12:15.690 So I'm just trying to get this stuff out of the way so we can actually model the eye socket. 12:17.190 --> 12:23.300 So you can see how modeling is very time consuming and is a difficult job. 12:23.310 --> 12:26.670 You know, I have a lot of respect for people who this is. 12:26.670 --> 12:29.870 All they do at studios is create models like this. 12:29.880 --> 12:33.630 It's it's not an easy job artistically. 12:33.630 --> 12:37.440 And, you know, technically it's quite challenging. 12:38.490 --> 12:43.520 So as I make changes to it from different views, you know, it's kind of like pushing and pulling it. 12:43.530 --> 12:48.150 I want to make sure that it's still roughly in the same area. 12:48.150 --> 12:57.480 And and I may have to just kind of split the difference on how the two drawings are not lining up. 12:58.650 --> 13:06.690 So but what I want to make sure is that the general kind of the the general idea of this kind of teardrop 13:06.690 --> 13:10.520 shape is starting to take form in the eye socket. 13:11.820 --> 13:21.720 So let's just pull that there once we have this done and go to the edge mode here and a double click. 13:21.720 --> 13:24.120 And you can see now we have this kind of inner ring. 13:24.420 --> 13:26.310 I'm going to extrude them all at the same time. 13:26.760 --> 13:34.410 I'm going to go to the perspective mode and I'm going to see how well this stuff. 13:35.450 --> 13:42.470 Wants to extrude in, I might just grab this from the center, but we need to keep bases on it together 13:42.500 --> 13:49.790 on and drag this stuff in and hit R and scale this from the center now. 13:52.250 --> 14:01.130 And we can start to see us getting the edges of this thing, this socket working on it again, extrusion 14:01.130 --> 14:06.710 did not work, so I'm just going to choose it there at W just pull the move to and just drag this stuff 14:06.710 --> 14:07.080 back. 14:08.570 --> 14:16.820 So now we have kind of the general idea of this socket, the front view, and make sure that, you know. 14:21.610 --> 14:23.540 We didn't have key pieces together on there. 14:23.860 --> 14:31.240 That's why I was double clicking, um, it was not, uh, it was not going around. 14:31.670 --> 14:34.150 So now when I double click it, it will go all the way around. 14:34.630 --> 14:37.380 So I'm just going to scale this stuff out. 14:40.380 --> 14:44.430 And DoubleClick, this scale, this out. 14:50.910 --> 14:57.330 So we can start to see this go in the depth, right, go inside the skull. 14:58.700 --> 15:07.250 And I'm going to pull that one back a little further cool, so we start to make the eye socket and now 15:07.250 --> 15:10.490 we need to resolve how this starts to fit with the rest of the model. 15:10.880 --> 15:12.290 And we'll do that in the next lesson. 15:12.440 --> 15:13.070 Thanks for watching.
