WEBVTT 00:00.150 --> 00:07.380 Welcome to this lesson where we learn more about unwrapping, making seams and specifically for organic 00:07.380 --> 00:11.810 models like ahead and in our case, bones as head here. 00:12.210 --> 00:17.120 And if you don't have this file, you can find it with the course files. 00:17.130 --> 00:22.800 And so you can work from your own from the previous course section on 3D modeling where we created him 00:22.800 --> 00:23.370 or her. 00:23.760 --> 00:27.610 And you can open that up or you can open up mine and follow along. 00:28.050 --> 00:32.050 So what I'm going to show you is also helpful for hard surface modeling. 00:32.070 --> 00:36.120 So if you haven't finished unwrapping the Ghostbuster model, that's fine. 00:36.120 --> 00:39.060 You can use these tools to actually even help even more. 00:39.300 --> 00:44.730 So I just want to wait and to show you these tools until we got to Bones, because it's a little more 00:44.730 --> 00:47.640 helpful for the organic shapes. 00:47.940 --> 00:50.430 So what we're going to do is focus on the head and unwrap that. 00:50.730 --> 00:53.780 So I'm going to go to workspace editing like we've done before. 00:54.330 --> 00:58.680 When I click the head and we can see the UVs are total nightmare. 00:59.580 --> 01:05.010 And with this turned on here, we see we have seams all around the eyes because that's where we did 01:05.010 --> 01:06.530 the kind of edge modeling stuff. 01:06.540 --> 01:12.330 And in theory, when we're looking at unwrapping ahead, we don't want any seams on the front of the 01:12.330 --> 01:14.700 face or we want very few seams. 01:14.910 --> 01:19.110 And the reason for that is simply because that's where we're going to be looking the most. 01:19.110 --> 01:24.030 And we don't want any textures to have any weird distortions around the seams, which is what tends 01:24.030 --> 01:25.260 to happen around seems. 01:25.560 --> 01:29.910 So with that knowledge, what we can kind of deduce is we need to put the seams back here. 01:30.180 --> 01:34.800 We need to unwrap from the back of the head and I'll show you how to do that in this lesson. 01:35.100 --> 01:40.290 So let's turn on the texture so we can see how just how crazy and psychodelic this is and why we need 01:40.620 --> 01:41.640 to make UVs. 01:42.090 --> 01:44.340 Let's turn on the border edges and think, you know what? 01:44.340 --> 01:49.650 Instead of us trying to merge these edges back together and dealing with this mess, let's just start 01:49.650 --> 01:55.440 from scratch, make our own moves with a projection of some kind and then start making our seams. 01:55.740 --> 02:01.830 Otherwise, we'd have to merge all this stuff down for no reason when we could just create our own moves. 02:02.130 --> 02:05.310 And we can do that by going to UV camera based. 02:05.550 --> 02:08.820 And it's just going to use the camera that you have and it's going to shoot them on there. 02:08.820 --> 02:13.410 And you can see where it gets distorted based on now that we moved the camera around, you can see how 02:13.410 --> 02:14.100 distorted that is. 02:14.100 --> 02:15.660 We can keep doing that, whatever. 02:15.660 --> 02:18.330 But, you know, it doesn't really matter. 02:18.520 --> 02:21.450 All we're doing in this step is getting rid of all the seams. 02:21.450 --> 02:23.180 You can see there's no seams now. 02:23.190 --> 02:29.970 OK, so just for clarity's sake, I like to do this from the front view, just so we can see that you 02:29.970 --> 02:34.500 know, the face in the Yuva editor more clearly. 02:34.810 --> 02:37.140 So let's go to camera based now there in the front of you. 02:37.140 --> 02:42.720 And we can see it's kind of looks a little more like what maybe we'd expect it to look. 02:42.730 --> 02:47.370 So what we need to do is unwrap it, because we can see this texture goes all the way through the head 02:47.370 --> 02:49.890 and there's all this stretching here on the side. 02:50.250 --> 02:54.420 So let's unwrap it with the 3D cut tool here. 02:54.750 --> 02:57.390 It's a new tool and my twenty eighteen. 02:57.960 --> 03:01.590 And with that selected, we need to go to the edge mode. 03:01.590 --> 03:04.170 Someone to hold down right click component edge. 03:04.890 --> 03:10.470 And like I said, in theory we need to put the seams back here. 03:10.470 --> 03:14.610 So I'm going to double click this seam in the middle and it's going to cut the head in half. 03:15.420 --> 03:18.660 But you know, like I said, we don't want these teams down the middle here, so we need to get rid 03:18.660 --> 03:19.230 of all these. 03:19.230 --> 03:23.790 And we do that by holding down control and clicking and dragging and we can try to get rid of some of 03:23.820 --> 03:24.480 these seams. 03:25.440 --> 03:31.680 And this is one way to create a scene and I'm going to show you another way, you can see accidentally 03:31.920 --> 03:33.810 double clicked it while I was holding down control. 03:34.230 --> 03:36.840 So it's this way can be kind of useful. 03:36.840 --> 03:40.170 And this tool is very useful. 03:40.170 --> 03:43.560 But in this case of making a scene, it doesn't go all the way around. 03:43.920 --> 03:45.540 It might be a little harder to use. 03:45.660 --> 03:50.970 So let's look at another method that's kind of more traditional and has worked. 03:50.970 --> 03:58.230 And every version of Maya, if we just take cue and go to selection, let's click on where kind of we 03:58.230 --> 04:01.380 want the edge to start, which is maybe high up on the forehead. 04:02.100 --> 04:07.560 And let's go down to the chin where we want the edge to end. 04:07.860 --> 04:09.880 So we double click that it goes all the way around. 04:10.230 --> 04:11.370 Now, we've just made a selection. 04:11.370 --> 04:12.210 We still haven't cut it. 04:12.210 --> 04:16.500 So we need to go over here and cut it so we can go to the cutting. 04:16.500 --> 04:19.210 So and cut the short cut for that. 04:19.230 --> 04:24.900 Also, if our mouse has hovered over the movie editor, we can hit shift X and we'll make the cut for 04:25.080 --> 04:28.110 we hit shift X while our mouse is over the viewport here on the left. 04:28.440 --> 04:31.110 It won't recognize that shortcut and won't cut it. 04:31.500 --> 04:32.580 So just know that. 04:32.610 --> 04:34.290 And so now we have that cut. 04:34.650 --> 04:37.760 But if we think about wrapping this, this, this isn't going to get us very far. 04:37.800 --> 04:38.700 We could actually even try. 04:38.730 --> 04:42.840 Right now, let's go to unfold and hit unfold. 04:43.380 --> 04:48.530 And you can see we actually need to select everything because you just have that one edge selected. 04:48.990 --> 04:54.120 So let's go undo that and go and go right. 04:54.120 --> 04:56.160 Click UVs and select everything. 04:56.160 --> 04:57.390 And now to unfold. 04:57.990 --> 05:07.410 Now you can see where the distortion lies based on our one cut and what we need to do more and why we 05:07.410 --> 05:08.100 need to do more. 05:08.350 --> 05:10.560 We can look at the distortion here as well. 05:10.560 --> 05:17.880 We can see there's quite a bit along the seam and on the kind of more curvy parts of the face. 05:18.280 --> 05:21.320 So let's try to reduce this by adding more seams in here. 05:21.750 --> 05:26.730 So I'm going to undo this just so we can kind of see it back where we were expecting it to be. 05:27.450 --> 05:33.510 And I'm going to go back to the edge mode and I'm going to turn on symmetry because with this texture 05:33.510 --> 05:35.970 on it, we can turn it off and it's easier to see. 05:36.450 --> 05:39.720 But if you want to leave that on, it's kind of hard to see. 05:40.020 --> 05:44.220 If we wanted to make edge cut here, that doesn't go all the way around. 05:44.220 --> 05:45.000 Click here. 05:45.000 --> 05:49.500 And then, you know, I think this is the same edge loop and double click and cross our fingers. 05:49.890 --> 05:51.660 It's actually easier to just turn on symmetry. 05:51.780 --> 05:53.190 You don't have to worry about that as much. 05:53.520 --> 05:57.780 So let's hold on w left click and go to symmetry symmetry. 05:58.440 --> 06:03.750 You can also get to that where we've learned before in the tool settings over here and go down to symmetry 06:03.750 --> 06:05.610 settings and turn that on here. 06:06.360 --> 06:11.550 So I just like to kind of teach shortcuts a little more the further we get along and get comfortable 06:11.550 --> 06:12.240 with this stuff. 06:12.810 --> 06:17.820 So now symmetries on now we just have to go to the center and shift Double-Click. 06:17.820 --> 06:19.810 So now we have that shift ex. 06:19.860 --> 06:20.910 Now we made a cut there. 06:21.240 --> 06:22.920 Let's go to the chin and do the same thing. 06:23.400 --> 06:29.190 So I'll click here and go to the center and shift X with my mouse over on this side. 06:30.660 --> 06:33.450 Sorry, shift X and make a cut there. 06:34.320 --> 06:37.860 And then we also want to make one cut that goes across the back of the head. 06:38.340 --> 06:42.660 So I'll make it up to the kind of biggest protrusion here, which this was a human head. 06:42.660 --> 06:44.520 It'd probably be the ear or something like that. 06:44.910 --> 06:52.590 Someone had shift X, my analysis over here make another cut and now we can try to unfold this again. 06:52.590 --> 06:54.480 But I will say what? 06:54.480 --> 06:58.830 One last thing I want to do is get rid of this kind of inner part of the nose because we're never going 06:58.830 --> 06:59.310 to see it. 06:59.670 --> 07:06.090 And it could add a lot of distortion to the unwrap because it's all one piece right now. 07:06.090 --> 07:13.140 So I'm going to double click it and then try to follow along and edge. 07:13.140 --> 07:18.480 That will not be seen by the front. 07:19.170 --> 07:23.640 So I'm just kind of going in here and following along until I get to that. 07:24.060 --> 07:27.780 So I'm going to hit the cut button here or shift X, you can do the same thing. 07:28.440 --> 07:30.150 And now if we right. 07:30.150 --> 07:37.260 Click, go to UVs, select everything and hit unfold, it should look much better. 07:38.160 --> 07:40.260 And we can see here as well. 07:40.260 --> 07:42.270 You know, the checkers look pretty good. 07:42.870 --> 07:47.370 One goofy thing is just how this is kind of cockeyed and it's not straight and all that kind of stuff. 07:47.370 --> 07:52.980 So if we hit shift and click on any button in here, we can put the option box. 07:53.370 --> 07:56.640 So the one little thing you can do is click back. 07:57.480 --> 08:02.370 And so it's going to pack the unfold UVs as it's done. 08:02.370 --> 08:07.650 So if I hit apply, it should pop back down to the zero to one you've space that we're expecting it 08:07.650 --> 08:08.060 to be in. 08:08.700 --> 08:12.180 So if I scale these down just a touch, I'll get rid of this. 08:12.450 --> 08:15.060 This kind of tells me this is poking out over here a little bit. 08:15.450 --> 08:19.650 So I always tend to just scale it down, just touch and that go off. 08:20.280 --> 08:24.420 So now we can look at the distortion and it should be quite a bit less. 08:25.340 --> 08:29.400 There's still quite a bit I mean, there's still some there, but that's to be expected. 08:30.230 --> 08:30.770 So. 08:31.840 --> 08:37.360 This is a really good start, and, you know, there's no right way or wrong way to to unfold ahead 08:37.390 --> 08:43.900 organic objects, we're really just trying to get the least amount of distortion on this and hide as 08:43.900 --> 08:51.250 many seems as we possibly can so that when we, you know, paint a design for his eyebrows or his mouth 08:51.670 --> 08:54.880 and around his eyes that it's not going to be distorted. 08:55.360 --> 09:01.390 So we have learned how to use the new 3D cutting and so tool a little bit. 09:01.390 --> 09:07.690 But we're going to use this a little more and learn a few more shortcuts with this as we continue to 09:07.690 --> 09:09.880 unwrap the body in the next lesson. 09:09.880 --> 09:14.950 And from there on out, you'll have pretty much everything you need to know about UVs and you can move 09:14.950 --> 09:18.640 on to shading and texturing, which is a little more exciting. 09:18.910 --> 09:21.280 But thanks for watching and I'll see in the next lesson.
