WEBVTT 00:00.360 --> 00:07.530 Welcome to this update class for my 20 20, and we're going to discuss the Remez and read topologies 00:07.530 --> 00:12.930 tools, these are pretty handy new additions that actually were around in twenty eighteen. 00:12.930 --> 00:17.070 And I'll show you how to access those if you're working on an older version of my like twenty eighteen 00:17.070 --> 00:17.450 as well. 00:17.910 --> 00:23.370 So I've just created these a couple of spheres here to demonstrate these tools. 00:23.670 --> 00:29.040 And what I want to do is just use the boolean so we have some geometry that's not ideal, especially 00:29.040 --> 00:30.780 to kind of any defamations. 00:30.780 --> 00:35.490 If we wanted to start to create this as like a character head or something like that, that we want 00:35.490 --> 00:36.750 this mesh to deform. 00:37.050 --> 00:42.150 We don't want all these in guns that were created by the Boolean operation. 00:42.510 --> 00:48.270 So I'm going to delete the history to get rid of all those empty groups we had over here. 00:48.780 --> 00:52.950 And now all I have to do is, you know, Ramesh Arete apologize. 00:53.280 --> 00:55.290 There's there used for different things. 00:55.290 --> 00:58.590 So if I remember, it's going to create a ton of triangles. 00:58.890 --> 01:01.920 And because of the second tool, that's actually OK. 01:01.920 --> 01:08.730 We could use this, let's say, if we're going to start sculpting to have some more geometry to where 01:08.730 --> 01:11.220 we could actually pull things around a little bit more. 01:11.970 --> 01:18.630 Now, those kinds of black kind of areas are just an artifact of the viewport. 01:19.470 --> 01:24.960 You know, we could shade that out and smooth those out as well if we were going to sculpt, you know, 01:25.290 --> 01:26.940 little ears or something on this. 01:28.200 --> 01:35.130 So it's very helpful to quickly take a simple object that has very few polygons and give it a lot more 01:35.130 --> 01:35.670 geometry. 01:35.670 --> 01:37.770 So then we could start to use the sculpt tool on it. 01:38.250 --> 01:42.480 So you might say like, well, what's good is this, because now we have all these triangles and we 01:42.480 --> 01:44.940 can't, you know, use this for animation. 01:44.940 --> 01:47.300 We have to read topologies it and that's going to take forever. 01:47.730 --> 01:49.650 Well, that's what the second tool is about. 01:49.650 --> 01:54.360 So let's click that and go back to the modeling and apologize. 01:56.140 --> 02:04.120 So now we have quads and we can actually use this for animation, and it's even if we don't like exactly 02:04.120 --> 02:12.070 how it's set up now, we could this would be a much better mesh to reach apologize from if we wanted 02:12.070 --> 02:13.960 to do the traditional manual method. 02:14.320 --> 02:16.930 We also have access to the. 02:18.560 --> 02:26.810 The settings of these, you can find them here if you wanted to adjust exactly how it is interpolating, 02:27.830 --> 02:33.350 you know, it's not a perfect tool and that's why you need to know how to do this stuff manually just 02:33.350 --> 02:34.970 in case it doesn't do what you want it to do. 02:36.380 --> 02:38.330 You need to be able to know how to do these things manually. 02:38.330 --> 02:39.410 But it is a nice addition. 02:39.620 --> 02:45.830 So if you want to have access to these in your own Miah twenty eighteen, all you have to do is actually 02:45.830 --> 02:55.010 type in in the Mel script down here, Polli Ramesh with a capital R, it is important to have the capital 02:55.010 --> 02:58.340 are there and it will remeasured. 02:58.340 --> 03:01.340 You know, you can see that this is much different from the default settings. 03:01.390 --> 03:02.420 The other tool we had. 03:02.780 --> 03:08.930 But again, we can get to these settings here and we can increase that or decrease the settings to get 03:08.930 --> 03:13.820 something more similar to what we had in the the default settings. 03:14.060 --> 03:15.400 If we click the button here. 03:16.100 --> 03:19.270 So the same is true for retail. 03:19.370 --> 03:23.190 So we could just type in poly retail. 03:23.240 --> 03:33.080 So again, with a capital R and the semicolon and then hit enter and again we have something reach apologizing 03:33.080 --> 03:36.650 to Quad's that we could use in animation or use as a base. 03:36.890 --> 03:42.770 And so this is really good to prototype and quickly iterate and not have to worry too much about your 03:42.770 --> 03:45.530 topology at an early stage. 03:45.740 --> 03:52.390 But again, let me emphasize that it is important to know, you know, how to do this manually. 03:52.640 --> 03:56.630 The other tool I want to demonstrate is the symmetry tool. 03:57.050 --> 04:00.620 So I also show this in a separate lesson. 04:00.620 --> 04:05.690 But just in case someone is watching this update and watch the other one have this as a separate lesson. 04:05.690 --> 04:14.750 But because this tool created non symmetrical geometry, a quick and easy way and there's no line down 04:14.750 --> 04:20.140 the center here, quick and easy way to make this symmetrical is to click this symmetry button here. 04:21.080 --> 04:23.180 Now we will need to adjust the settings. 04:23.180 --> 04:25.190 The default didn't do what we wanted to do. 04:25.370 --> 04:28.820 It was on the symmetry of the wrong axis. 04:29.210 --> 04:35.360 So we can do is just change these settings here and it will take a second to update. 04:35.360 --> 04:42.450 But that's basically creates a seam down the middle and it's somewhat symmetrical. 04:42.740 --> 04:50.450 Again, the importance of knowing how to reach apologize mainly manually is that, you know, the give 04:50.450 --> 04:52.490 and take care of that now that we create a triangle. 04:52.500 --> 04:55.160 So you're going to use these tools back and forth. 04:55.550 --> 05:06.680 And this would most, most be helpful when your you have symmetry on in your tools and you want it to 05:06.680 --> 05:12.770 be selecting the same vertices on either side. 05:13.580 --> 05:14.090 So. 05:15.130 --> 05:20.410 Now, you know, now that we're starting to move things around, it'll actually mirror from one side 05:20.410 --> 05:20.980 to the other. 05:21.250 --> 05:27.520 But the disadvantages now, we've lost that nice quad to have triangles there. 05:27.880 --> 05:34.870 So, you know, we could go back and forth between these tools, use the Rito again on this. 05:37.360 --> 05:38.240 And it may not. 05:38.260 --> 05:43.510 Yeah, we got rid of the cemetery again, but now we have quod so it's a give and take and again, it's 05:43.510 --> 05:49.990 very important to know how to do this manually so that you're not constrained by the tools, not doing 05:49.990 --> 05:50.920 what you want them to. 05:51.730 --> 05:54.460 They're really just for convenience sake. 05:55.300 --> 05:58.510 It's very important if you want to become a modeler to know how to do all this manually. 05:58.750 --> 06:03.360 But I wanted to show this quick update and demonstrates a couple of new tools in my 20 20. 06:03.430 --> 06:04.030 Thanks for watching.
