WEBVTT 00:00.450 --> 00:05.330 In this lesson, we will model the sternum very quickly, because I think we may need another rib, 00:05.730 --> 00:11.430 and before we make on the rib and figure that out, I want to make the sternum because it should connect. 00:11.760 --> 00:14.640 You know, there seems to be kind of a gap here. 00:14.640 --> 00:18.300 And the art reference, how all this stuff works here in profile. 00:18.720 --> 00:21.000 So it's just seems like a large gap. 00:21.010 --> 00:25.230 So let's go ahead and model the sternum and we'll figure this out on the fly. 00:25.710 --> 00:27.510 I'm going to do some box modeling. 00:28.290 --> 00:29.310 I'm going to go to the right view. 00:29.820 --> 00:35.580 And I'm going to go to the poly modeling shelf, click the cube and drag that up. 00:39.090 --> 00:43.620 I'm just middle mouse drag and a lot of isolated that vertical axes. 00:44.760 --> 00:51.780 And I'm just going to get it in line here so that we can do some box modeling and scale down. 00:53.490 --> 00:58.180 And I think it'll probably end up connecting with the collarbone somewhere. 00:58.410 --> 01:06.000 Again, I don't know if this is all medically accurate, but yeah, for our purposes, I don't think 01:06.000 --> 01:07.170 it really matters all that much. 01:07.180 --> 01:09.300 It's a cartoon type of character. 01:09.870 --> 01:16.320 So when I get to a point where I can grab this face and then go back to the right view so that now I 01:16.320 --> 01:27.330 can extrude the face here and I'm going to try to go and even distance, you know, this section to 01:27.330 --> 01:30.270 this section, maybe like a almost like a descending thing. 01:31.170 --> 01:38.610 But we want to make sure, too, that each rib is getting its own little section here. 01:41.340 --> 01:44.760 So I want to make sure I'm doing that. 01:46.070 --> 01:51.900 It's going to scale us up a little bit any time I rotate a face, I can start to lose its volume a little 01:51.900 --> 01:58.740 bit so we can make sure whenever I'm rotating a face or edges that it's maintaining its volume. 02:02.180 --> 02:10.340 And I'm only trying to go on these two axes, I'm not trying to grab the middle one here because I could 02:10.340 --> 02:19.910 get it off of the get it off of the kind of center where it's aligned to the center. 02:21.190 --> 02:24.210 So let's do one more after this one. 02:27.280 --> 02:31.360 Gee, more time, can I get this in line? 02:34.230 --> 02:38.130 I think that's kind of in the ballpark, go to the edge mode. 02:39.180 --> 02:45.240 Can make this kind of more rounded as it goes down, probably going to need an edge loop in here somewhere. 02:46.410 --> 02:52.700 Drag this up and maybe divide this one because it's such a large distance trying to find my custom tab 02:52.700 --> 02:55.980 and angelic tool or something like that. 02:56.310 --> 03:03.920 And I'm going to the component mode and double click on the edge now. 03:03.940 --> 03:07.260 Should be a little more in line with where I'm trying to scale up from. 03:08.970 --> 03:14.450 Although it's hard to tell how the axes are oriented, that's close enough. 03:16.290 --> 03:22.650 So this doesn't look like much right now, but we can use this now that it's we know where it's positioned 03:23.010 --> 03:24.020 and profile. 03:24.060 --> 03:27.600 We can kind of adjust this now for our front of you. 03:27.990 --> 03:37.410 So I think the general idea with this is that the places where the ribs connect are going to be the 03:37.410 --> 03:38.790 widest parts. 03:39.660 --> 03:42.920 I get back to object space because we're going straight across. 03:43.410 --> 03:44.580 So something like this. 03:45.180 --> 03:54.300 And so we need to add a lot more edge loops in here to help connect this stuff and. 03:56.830 --> 04:03.190 Actually, undo that one and wait until we get the bottom done, so, yeah, I think we may need like 04:03.190 --> 04:04.990 one more little small rib up here. 04:05.170 --> 04:06.590 It's hard to tell that was collarbone. 04:06.970 --> 04:08.880 We can model that really quickly as well. 04:09.730 --> 04:11.580 And maybe this is going to high. 04:12.070 --> 04:20.470 It's you know, again, it's just reconciling the artwork with 3D. 04:21.080 --> 04:23.820 This is the hardest part of modeling always. 04:25.000 --> 04:27.020 So don't get discouraged. 04:27.550 --> 04:32.050 This is as hard as it should be and is for everybody else. 04:32.860 --> 04:33.430 So. 04:37.730 --> 04:48.680 Yeah, OK, so I'm just going in here and cutting edge loops and I'm clicking, dragging on the ends 04:48.680 --> 04:53.960 and squares, it tends not to let you connect the loops. 04:55.130 --> 04:59.660 So I'm just control clicking areas where I don't need it and. 05:03.740 --> 05:11.960 Scaling these down, I think, I mean, maybe the wrong guy and the wrong axis, their skill and these 05:11.960 --> 05:12.920 down a little bit 05:15.380 --> 05:16.430 and. 05:20.160 --> 05:22.240 Yeah, just going through an. 05:24.850 --> 05:29.440 It looks like to me that we're going to need one more bud. 05:32.180 --> 05:40.970 Yeah, so the other thing, of course, we have at our disposal is, uh, extrude, oops, shift double 05:40.970 --> 05:46.880 clicking should get you the edge loop of face and extrude this inward. 05:48.480 --> 05:49.320 That's freaking out. 05:50.900 --> 05:51.920 I'm just going to scale it. 05:59.390 --> 06:11.030 And maybe push these down closer to the rim that it's inserting into and get this one a little more 06:12.620 --> 06:13.560 in line. 06:15.530 --> 06:16.880 Same thing with this one down here. 06:17.510 --> 06:20.780 Hopefully you can kind of get the idea of what I'm going for visually. 06:22.840 --> 06:23.920 At this stage. 06:32.220 --> 06:40.130 Go back to component and hope, nope, um, just move the edges. 06:46.230 --> 06:54.510 You can see him moving between the different spaces pretty quickly, you know, one tool is not always 06:54.510 --> 06:57.810 going to work and going to be your catch all. 06:57.810 --> 07:07.170 You got to adapt pretty quickly and not get too discouraged about, you know, something not working 07:09.270 --> 07:10.250 when you expect it to. 07:11.670 --> 07:13.230 It's always just problem solving. 07:23.390 --> 07:25.050 I think I have the wrong edge. 07:25.850 --> 07:32.540 So, yeah, not just in the kind of front view, do we want to make these little in between parts if 07:32.540 --> 07:34.720 we want to do it and the side view as well. 07:35.480 --> 07:42.800 So I want to make sure we're adjusting those in every way. 07:45.750 --> 07:46.860 And. 08:26.550 --> 08:32.940 And you can tell right now, you know, I'm not really paying attention to the reference at all, actually, 08:32.940 --> 08:40.170 just turn that off because I got kind of the idea of what the references is trying to do. 08:40.170 --> 08:44.220 And that was enough for me to try to make it work now in three dimensions. 08:45.270 --> 08:47.460 So three on the keyboard. 08:48.600 --> 08:56.760 So kind of give me an idea of how much further I need to go with adding geometry to support this volume, 08:56.760 --> 09:02.190 which is, you know, you can see it shrink quite a lot when you hit three because there's no geometry 09:02.190 --> 09:03.640 here supporting this. 09:03.660 --> 09:06.000 So we'll need to add loops here. 09:06.630 --> 09:11.040 And I wait to do that because it's a lot easier to select edges when they're it's just, you know, 09:11.070 --> 09:14.010 this whole thing instead of this being divided into two or three edges. 09:14.490 --> 09:22.500 So trying to get always when you're modeling, try to get the kind of big the big stuff done and worry 09:22.500 --> 09:27.690 about the smaller stuff after the fact and only add geometry when you need it. 09:28.350 --> 09:35.730 Otherwise you're going to create a lot more work for yourself and it will make you a lot slower and 09:35.730 --> 09:36.720 you'll be more frustrated. 09:36.720 --> 09:37.560 So don't do that. 09:43.760 --> 09:50.960 OK, just trying to make sure everything is lined up as well, and, you know, the thing with this 09:50.960 --> 09:56.190 is like when you model something, it's not done, especially with this stuff. 09:56.690 --> 10:03.170 So in general, the idea with this stuff is that we're going to have all the bones floating just to 10:03.170 --> 10:10.640 give ourselves our kind of a cheat almost so that we don't have to worry about all these things intersecting 10:10.640 --> 10:11.330 perfectly. 10:11.730 --> 10:12.610 It's a cartoon. 10:12.620 --> 10:16.670 So, you know, that's that's and it's a skeleton on top of that. 10:16.670 --> 10:21.020 It's not like something it's believable that we see walking around every day. 10:21.020 --> 10:27.020 So that's why, you know, I think it's fine to have this stuff. 10:28.170 --> 10:28.910 That's why I think it's fine. 10:28.910 --> 10:35.390 Just have this stuff just floating in space next to kind of the joints that it would it would be connected 10:35.390 --> 10:35.690 to. 10:38.330 --> 10:40.460 So I'm not getting too caught up in that. 10:40.460 --> 10:41.330 I don't think you should either. 10:41.330 --> 10:49.700 This is just kind of a good exercise with a good goal in mind to help facilitate learning this stuff. 10:50.240 --> 10:56.660 Because I know for me, if I don't have, you know, a goal in mind, it's a lot harder to motivate 10:56.660 --> 11:01.750 myself to get going and learn something new. 11:02.570 --> 11:05.470 So that's kind of just the idea here. 11:05.480 --> 11:13.430 So don't be too hard on yourself when you're modeling this stuff and being super specific. 11:13.850 --> 11:15.050 That stuff will come later. 11:15.290 --> 11:23.600 The more you model and I hope that you continue modeling or doing something in 3D and that you find 11:23.600 --> 11:30.260 the stuff that you started doing, you know, you might not show anyone anyways because you do it. 11:30.260 --> 11:32.300 You know, the longer you do it, you'll do better and better. 11:32.300 --> 11:35.510 So you'll you only want to ever show your best stuff. 11:36.260 --> 11:42.200 So don't get too caught up in making everything perfect just yet because you're still learning and it's 11:42.200 --> 11:48.020 OK to not be, you know, a hundred percent perfect on this stuff. 11:49.160 --> 11:54.200 That's just kind of the practice of going through the motions and getting comfortable with the software 11:54.800 --> 12:04.040 and and then later on getting more serious about it and taking a little more time. 12:05.000 --> 12:09.830 But at this stage of the game, you don't want to frustrate yourself to the point where you're not going 12:09.830 --> 12:10.900 to pursue it anymore. 12:11.750 --> 12:17.300 So try to keep it fun for yourself here and go easy on yourself. 12:22.420 --> 12:29.030 So I'm just kind of going through the model and trying to do the last little tweaks before I add in 12:29.080 --> 12:29.830 geometry. 12:32.920 --> 12:39.000 And let's also look at how this works. 12:43.730 --> 12:52.850 Let's just take because I'm just thinking about the scapula or the other scapula, the collarbone. 12:54.860 --> 12:57.800 So just to kind of block something and super quick to see. 13:00.750 --> 13:06.870 Visually, the weight of this stuff, I think we might be good, the collarbone might take up enough 13:06.870 --> 13:07.680 room that. 13:09.730 --> 13:15.880 So what I'm thinking is it's going to point from the sternum to the shoulder. 13:18.470 --> 13:19.370 And. 13:23.510 --> 13:33.050 Holding down control there to scale and that it kind of isolated access that we've done before, so 13:34.460 --> 13:36.190 I think three is actually fine. 13:36.710 --> 13:41.990 So let's continue with this and finish up the sternum and hit one. 13:42.530 --> 13:48.930 And the first thing I'm going to try is just throwing down loops in the exact center. 13:49.970 --> 13:57.110 So we're going to go to the tool settings over here after selecting it and go to multiple loops and 13:57.110 --> 13:58.040 then just choose one. 13:58.820 --> 14:02.630 And that will put it right in the center over whatever edge loop that we click. 14:05.920 --> 14:13.990 And if we have three now, it should be a little thicker and have more volume have to queue to get off 14:13.990 --> 14:16.090 that kind of wireframe thing. 14:17.680 --> 14:18.600 Yeah, so this is good. 14:18.610 --> 14:22.960 I think the proportions of this thing are can use a lot of work, which I'll do in between the next 14:22.960 --> 14:23.440 video. 14:24.070 --> 14:31.720 But the other thing we can do real quick and when I say proportions, I mean like, you know, this 14:31.720 --> 14:33.030 one is way bigger than this one. 14:33.040 --> 14:38.110 It'd be nice to have an an even kind of fashion in descending order. 14:38.110 --> 14:46.030 So I'll probably move this cap down closer to here so that this one is a smaller kind of chunk and this 14:46.390 --> 14:51.060 indentation is maybe too big or this one needs to be more. 14:51.490 --> 14:55.600 So that's what I mean when I say proportion stuff, you know, having this stuff all work together as 14:55.600 --> 14:58.720 one piece and I'll continue to refine that stuff. 14:58.720 --> 15:07.120 But the last thing I would want to mention is also considered doing a Bevell on just these edges to 15:07.120 --> 15:15.520 help kind of support this and also maybe even give you the option of not using the kind of auto smooth 15:15.970 --> 15:16.660 feature. 15:16.660 --> 15:23.290 And Miah, so when you go to the Poly Bevell and Hitti, crank up the fraction probably. 15:23.290 --> 15:29.200 Yeah, we're limited by something, whether it's hitting some edge loop somewhere. 15:30.350 --> 15:30.760 Oh. 15:30.760 --> 15:32.020 Because this is so close together. 15:32.020 --> 15:39.040 So the fraction can only be that big, we could space that out like hit on do here and spaced out. 15:39.040 --> 15:41.410 But I think this is pretty close to what I had in mind anyways. 15:42.040 --> 15:45.070 Let's it's actually let's go three now. 15:46.840 --> 15:47.140 Yeah. 15:47.140 --> 15:51.250 And that kind of made this edge a lot sharper and stiffer. 15:51.790 --> 16:02.770 And if we actually use this than three mode, we can see how much sharper this edge can be, might spazz 16:02.770 --> 16:04.720 out here, won't get to zero. 16:05.650 --> 16:06.190 But yeah. 16:06.640 --> 16:14.350 So you can make this a super sharp edge depending on how close those edges are together, just as all 16:14.350 --> 16:18.340 up to you and something you can kind of change on the fly here. 16:18.340 --> 16:25.000 I kind of like it closer to the maximum to kind of keep a bony idea here. 16:25.240 --> 16:26.740 Kind of smooth edges a little bit. 16:26.740 --> 16:27.790 But yeah, thanks for watching. 16:27.790 --> 16:32.230 And in the next lesson, we will kind of continue doing the rest of the body. 16:32.230 --> 16:37.060 I'm going to spend the time in between these lessons, kind of finishing out the sternum and making 16:37.060 --> 16:38.770 it look a little bit nicer. 16:39.490 --> 16:40.990 That's just pulling stuff around. 16:41.140 --> 16:45.940 And yes, it's coming along really well, pretty much from here on out. 16:45.940 --> 16:50.170 The most complicated thing is probably going to be the hips and maybe the hands and the feet. 16:50.680 --> 16:52.960 But, you know, the arm, the arm bones. 16:52.960 --> 16:55.270 I'm imagining us duplicating most of this stuff. 16:55.780 --> 17:00.490 And, yeah, we're going to speed this up as we go here. 17:00.850 --> 17:02.020 Thanks for watching by.
