WEBVTT 00:00.180 --> 00:06.300 Welcome back, and before I leave you to do the rest of this on your own, I just want to cover one 00:06.300 --> 00:11.310 more object and the three cut to a little bit just so you get a little more comfortable with it and 00:11.310 --> 00:15.450 continue to think about how we're going to be moving, wrapping everything. 00:15.780 --> 00:21.720 When I approach an object or a character like this, I mean, we can see that there's a lot of symmetry 00:21.720 --> 00:21.930 here. 00:21.930 --> 00:26.520 So we only really need to do one half of the body and then we can do the transfer attributes like we 00:26.520 --> 00:27.740 learned in a previous lesson. 00:28.080 --> 00:30.300 So let's take that into consideration. 00:30.300 --> 00:34.710 When we're you know, it's easy to get overwhelmed looking at this, but in reality, we just do one 00:34.710 --> 00:36.900 half of this thing and we're going to be set. 00:36.900 --> 00:38.430 We just need to transfer the attributes. 00:38.760 --> 00:41.520 So let's do one more object here just so we get comfortable with it. 00:41.910 --> 00:46.560 And when I'm looking at this arm, I'm thinking we're going to put the seams on and put them on the 00:46.560 --> 00:50.850 bottom, probably because we're going to see, you know, maybe his arm pit the least and we're going 00:50.850 --> 00:55.620 to see the front and this side a lot more even maybe put it in the back and all depends. 00:55.620 --> 01:00.000 But, you know, in general, I try to you try to hide stuff in the armpits and the back of the head 01:00.000 --> 01:02.070 and things where people might not see as much. 01:02.790 --> 01:06.870 The other thing I want to show you right before we start that is the optimised tool. 01:07.170 --> 01:14.640 And just to think of it like the relaxed tool and the sculpting tool set when we learn that in the modeling. 01:14.910 --> 01:21.660 But instead of for the geometry, the optimized tool is for relaxing the UVs. 01:21.990 --> 01:30.060 So if we select all leaves, click drag and select the head UVs and click optimize, we can see how 01:30.060 --> 01:32.730 everything starts to kind of relax a little bit. 01:33.060 --> 01:37.610 And the idea is that it's going to hopefully reduce the distortion on the UVs. 01:37.620 --> 01:39.330 So that's one other little tool. 01:39.330 --> 01:45.510 And basically ever, only ever using, you know, cut, stitch together, optimize, unfold. 01:45.840 --> 01:52.200 And then, of course, like we learned in the hard modeling, I'm going in and doing the kind of get 01:52.200 --> 01:54.270 and set for the textile density. 01:54.270 --> 02:01.590 So objects are kind of relatively similar because if we apply one fractal to everything, those kind 02:01.590 --> 02:06.180 of fractal bumps or, you know, checkered bumps or whatever kind of texture, noise, texture you're 02:06.180 --> 02:09.210 doing, they're going to look at different scales. 02:09.210 --> 02:14.370 And if you want to, you know, create one texture, one shader and apply it to a lot of things, we 02:14.420 --> 02:16.110 got to make sure that has the same textile density. 02:16.120 --> 02:18.990 So those are basically the main things I use. 02:19.530 --> 02:26.580 And with that said, let's follow through on one more piece and then I'll leave you to do the rest yourself. 02:27.000 --> 02:30.000 So it's like this again, and we don't want to deal with these seams. 02:30.000 --> 02:30.630 I'm going to go. 02:31.360 --> 02:32.010 You've. 02:33.080 --> 02:39.320 Camera based, now I can make my own seems and I'm going to use the 3D cutting so tool here and I'm 02:39.320 --> 02:45.230 going to go to Component Edge and I'm going to make these on the bottom of the bone here. 02:45.740 --> 02:47.810 And I'm just going to click. 02:48.800 --> 02:56.300 That's in double click it and then I'm going to control click along here to dislike that. 02:57.280 --> 03:07.930 And instead of doing the entire incap here, I want to go around the object, so I'm going to r the 03:07.930 --> 03:09.330 end cap here. 03:09.580 --> 03:10.870 So when I click Drag. 03:11.750 --> 03:12.940 A little bit here. 03:14.970 --> 03:18.150 And control, click that. 03:19.280 --> 03:24.800 Piece and click and drag up here. 03:33.210 --> 03:37.950 I mean, kind of see that the check box change when it takes into account the selection and the cut 03:37.950 --> 03:43.770 in the same object, which is one of the benefits of this tool, instead of having to go back and forth 03:44.220 --> 03:48.000 with the movie editor, it will make the selection, cut it at the same time. 03:48.930 --> 03:51.290 The disadvantages, it can be a little finicky. 03:51.600 --> 03:59.610 So depending on, you know, your level of patience with this tool and what you're more comfortable 03:59.610 --> 04:04.590 with, you could use this tool or you can make the selections and then make the cuts yourself using 04:04.590 --> 04:08.100 the tools and the the editor window like we did previously. 04:08.440 --> 04:15.180 I'm just clicking and dragging actually want to want to go down one more level here so we get all of 04:15.180 --> 04:21.560 that shift clicking and then I'm just going to control click the top here. 04:21.610 --> 04:21.960 What's. 04:27.190 --> 04:27.600 Cool. 04:30.680 --> 04:35.600 So now that we have that done, one cool thing we can do is with this tool still selecta, we can see 04:35.600 --> 04:38.720 we still have the three cuttone so tool we can right. 04:38.720 --> 04:39.980 Click on this, go to component. 04:39.980 --> 04:43.690 Instead of going to EDG like we have, we can go to you by Shell like this. 04:43.700 --> 04:48.170 And then if we hit D with our mouse over here, it should unwrap it. 04:48.470 --> 04:53.540 And so that's a really nice shortcut of this tool specifically. 04:54.180 --> 04:54.710 It won't. 04:54.740 --> 04:57.300 That shortcut won't work unless you have this tool selected. 04:57.680 --> 05:03.530 So if you're not sure where to put the seams and stuff, it's kind of nice to stay in one tool hit D 05:03.530 --> 05:05.990 and then maybe go back to component mode and go on edge. 05:05.990 --> 05:06.620 Keep cutting. 05:07.100 --> 05:09.680 Dig again is going to re unfold everything again. 05:10.010 --> 05:17.060 So it's kind of a good tool to experiment with and see where the best unfolding is going to take place. 05:17.450 --> 05:22.040 So you can kind of see the distortion that had been kind of referring to, especially when something 05:22.040 --> 05:25.850 is smooth like this object is when we were modeling, we had three. 05:26.600 --> 05:30.800 When you smooth something, it tends to distort DVS worse. 05:31.310 --> 05:39.410 So this is very, very important part to understand because it's something that many people run into 05:39.410 --> 05:41.120 and never really fix or understand. 05:41.480 --> 05:43.130 We can actually fix this. 05:43.280 --> 05:51.650 So instead of all these all this stretching here at the edge, we can fix this by going into for this 05:51.650 --> 05:52.730 piece of geometry. 05:53.090 --> 06:00.230 We can go into its attribute editor here by clicking up here and going down to the smooth mesh option. 06:00.560 --> 06:04.190 So it's the shape node of this piece of geometry. 06:04.310 --> 06:14.000 If we click smooth mesh and we go down to the open subedi controls, we can see that currently we have 06:14.000 --> 06:16.610 vertex boundary, we have UV boundary. 06:16.610 --> 06:23.270 And what typically happens is the any kind of, you know, smoothing that's done, if we hit three or 06:23.270 --> 06:27.770 one, it's going to do the same thing on the UVs as it's doing on the vertices. 06:27.770 --> 06:28.880 And we want to separate that. 06:28.880 --> 06:33.860 We want the smoothing to happen on the vertices and not the UVs. 06:34.190 --> 06:40.760 So to do that, we need to go to the movie Boundary Smoothing and we need to click on preserve edges 06:40.760 --> 06:42.830 and corners and watch what happens. 06:43.340 --> 06:51.680 BOEM fixes that stretching issue and it's kind of amazing and also bizarre at the same time that this 06:51.710 --> 06:52.790 is not an issue. 06:52.970 --> 06:58.700 So you may need to fix this later on when you're doing some rendering and lighting and you can see there 06:58.700 --> 07:00.230 stretching on seams. 07:01.160 --> 07:07.190 But you may just hold off on this until that time and not get too in the weeds on fixing that, because 07:07.460 --> 07:08.600 this may never be an issue. 07:08.600 --> 07:10.310 You may never see those seams anyways. 07:10.670 --> 07:12.140 So I'm just going to leave that on for now. 07:12.140 --> 07:13.760 But know that that does exist. 07:13.760 --> 07:16.280 If you ever run that issue, that's what's happening. 07:17.090 --> 07:17.420 Cool. 07:17.420 --> 07:21.290 So now all you need to do is transfer the UVs over to the other side. 07:21.560 --> 07:25.940 So I'm going to shift click it and you can see how terrible they are and how much time we're going to 07:25.940 --> 07:26.930 save here. 07:26.930 --> 07:34.460 And one second by going to the edit, going to the mesh transfer attributes, let's just click on this, 07:34.460 --> 07:39.620 make sure we have the right options when I go reset settings and we can see that we need to go to the 07:39.620 --> 07:43.670 component mode again and we need to do nothing else. 07:43.670 --> 07:44.180 That's it. 07:44.180 --> 07:44.840 And apply. 07:45.140 --> 07:50.090 And it transfers the IVs and we are much happier. 07:50.090 --> 07:51.680 And we just saved about five minutes. 07:51.680 --> 07:58.940 And over this whole model, we could save easily an hour or much, much more if we don't have to, you 07:58.940 --> 08:00.290 know, unwrap both sides. 08:00.320 --> 08:06.380 So in this lesson, you have learned kind of the last a little bit of everything you need to know about 08:06.380 --> 08:07.580 movie editing, I think. 08:07.910 --> 08:14.240 And you can now unwrap this whole thing yourself or you can skip it, which I also do not recommend. 08:14.240 --> 08:16.550 This is all about kind of going through the motions. 08:16.550 --> 08:19.130 Otherwise you're not going to learn or remember this stuff. 08:19.310 --> 08:21.920 And I hope you enjoyed this lesson and I will see in the next one. 08:22.040 --> 08:22.430 All right. 08:22.430 --> 08:22.910 Thanks a lot. 08:23.060 --> 08:23.360 Bye.
