WEBVTT 00:00:11.776 --> 00:00:17.920 At this point, you should be able to add very basic objects, such as cubes or spheres or monkey heads, 00:00:18.176 --> 00:00:21.504 and move them around and change their size and rotate them. 00:00:22.016 --> 00:00:23.552 Doing very basic things. 00:00:24.064 --> 00:00:26.112 This is what you can do in 00:00:26.368 --> 00:00:29.696 what we call object mode. You always change 00:00:30.208 --> 00:00:32.512 the entire object in its entirety. 00:00:33.024 --> 00:00:36.352 You cannot change a cube into a monkey or 00:00:36.608 --> 00:00:42.496 into something that you want, like a tree or a guy or a football or whatever you want to model. 00:00:43.776 --> 00:00:45.568 If you want to edit 00:00:45.824 --> 00:00:47.360 the shape of your models, 00:00:47.616 --> 00:00:51.712 you want to go into what we call edit mode. In edit mode, 00:00:51.968 --> 00:00:55.296 you can actually see what the cube is made of. 00:00:55.808 --> 00:01:00.160 Make sure you select a mesh object, not the camera. This is a camera. 00:01:00.416 --> 00:01:04.000 You can't select that and go into edit mode and change it into something else. 00:01:04.512 --> 00:01:06.304 But all meshes can. 00:01:06.816 --> 00:01:12.960 Now, this is the cube, and everything is selected. Just like in Object mode, you can go back and forth 00:01:13.472 --> 00:01:14.496 with Tab by the way. 00:01:14.752 --> 00:01:20.128 What is orange is selected. If I am in Edit Mode, I can select a point, 00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:22.432 and the point is highlighted. 00:01:23.712 --> 00:01:26.016 The cube is made of points 00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:28.064 at the corners 00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:30.880 with edges between them. 00:01:31.392 --> 00:01:31.904 And between 00:01:32.160 --> 00:01:32.928 four edges, 00:01:33.440 --> 00:01:38.048 is a polygon or a face. They used to be called Faces. 00:01:38.304 --> 00:01:41.376 Nowadays there are called Polygons in Blender. 00:01:41.632 --> 00:01:43.680 I will probably use both names. 00:01:46.496 --> 00:01:52.640 You can select one of these points and just like before, in the object tools, now there are mesh tools. 00:01:52.896 --> 00:01:54.688 I can translate a point 00:01:54.944 --> 00:01:56.224 and change 00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:56.992 the shape of 00:01:57.248 --> 00:01:58.016 my model. 00:01:59.296 --> 00:02:00.320 I can't, however 00:02:01.088 --> 00:02:02.368 rotate a point. 00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:05.696 It says it's rotating at the left bottom corner. 00:02:06.208 --> 00:02:07.488 But because it's one point, 00:02:07.744 --> 00:02:11.328 it doesn't really matter. If I select multiple points however, 00:02:11.584 --> 00:02:13.888 I can rotate them around each other. 00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.728 In this case, in edit mode, rotating and scaling 00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:19.008 actually 00:02:19.264 --> 00:02:23.616 moves the points. So all we are doing is translating points. 00:02:24.128 --> 00:02:26.176 But because we take multiple, 00:02:26.688 --> 00:02:28.992 we can translate them in certain ways relative 00:02:29.248 --> 00:02:30.528 to each other. 00:02:31.296 --> 00:02:34.368 So, I can scale this polygon up, which just moves 00:02:34.624 --> 00:02:37.184 the four points the same as if you're moving 00:02:37.696 --> 00:02:38.464 the four points 00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:40.000 away from each other. 00:02:42.304 --> 00:02:44.096 This is ultra basic editing, 00:02:44.352 --> 00:02:47.168 except of course a cube is but a cube. 00:02:47.424 --> 00:02:49.472 There are only 6 sides to it 00:02:49.728 --> 00:02:51.008 and only 00:02:51.264 --> 00:02:52.288 8 points. 00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:59.968 It’s pretty much impossible to make that into a nicely more complicated shape. To do that, we need to add 00:03:00.224 --> 00:03:01.248 point to our cube. 00:03:12.768 --> 00:03:16.352 The functions that let you add points to a model 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:20.192 can be found on the left in the Mesh Tools menu. 00:03:20.448 --> 00:03:21.472 You can see there is 00:03:21.728 --> 00:03:27.360 Extrude Region, Extra Individual, Subdivide, all of these add points to your mesh 00:03:28.384 --> 00:03:29.664 in different ways. 00:03:29.920 --> 00:03:34.784 In this case, I would like to try to use the shortcut keys on my keyboard. 00:03:35.296 --> 00:03:37.344 I want to select a face to 00:03:37.600 --> 00:03:39.392 show you what Extruder does. 00:03:40.672 --> 00:03:41.952 I’ll hit E on my keyboard. 00:03:42.464 --> 00:03:48.096 I just remember what it is. I can Exclude. You can see it drags a shape out of my selection. 00:03:48.608 --> 00:03:50.144 Here's a little tip. 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:51.424 I can drag it smoothly. 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:53.984 But if I hold down ctrl, 00:03:54.752 --> 00:03:55.520 I can do it 00:03:56.032 --> 00:03:56.800 in increments. 00:03:57.056 --> 00:03:57.568 So I can 00:03:57.824 --> 00:03:59.104 E for extrude 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.152 and drag it out in increments. 00:04:02.688 --> 00:04:03.200 That works quite nicely. 00:04:03.712 --> 00:04:04.480 I’ll do it again. 00:04:04.992 --> 00:04:07.808 You select a Face. You can do multiple face as well. 00:04:08.832 --> 00:04:10.368 And extrude. 00:04:11.648 --> 00:04:14.208 You don't have to keep them in the shape of a block. 00:04:14.464 --> 00:04:15.488 I can still go 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:17.791 select individual points 00:04:18.303 --> 00:04:20.095 and move them around. 00:04:20.607 --> 00:04:21.887 But if you have enough, 00:04:22.911 --> 00:04:24.703 you can extrude. What you don't want to do is 00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:26.751 extrude a single point. 00:04:27.775 --> 00:04:30.591 That will give you a floating-point somewhere mid there. 00:04:30.847 --> 00:04:35.455 That's not printable. It is not what we call manifold. It doesn't make a neat shape. 00:04:35.967 --> 00:04:37.503 I will delete that point. 00:04:39.039 --> 00:04:42.623 Deleting is something you try not to do too much, 00:04:43.135 --> 00:04:48.767 when editing in this way. By the way, this technique I'm using is called Box Modelling. Because we're starting from a box, 00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:51.583 and adding more and more points to it. 00:04:52.095 --> 00:04:53.631 What we can do now is 00:04:53.887 --> 00:04:55.679 move points around 00:04:56.191 --> 00:04:59.263 with the same methods we used to move entire object, 00:04:59.775 --> 00:05:01.055 and extrude shapes 00:05:02.335 --> 00:05:02.847 out of it. 00:05:03.615 --> 00:05:04.895 That works quite nicely. 00:05:05.663 --> 00:05:06.175 The side, 00:05:06.431 --> 00:05:07.711 I’ll make this a little more narrow. 00:05:09.503 --> 00:05:11.551 That way we can extrude a shape. 00:05:13.599 --> 00:05:17.439 This is a nice way to add models, but you always make your shape bigger. 00:05:17.695 --> 00:05:21.535 If you want to add more detail inside what you already have, 00:05:22.047 --> 00:05:23.327 for instance, if I want 00:05:23.583 --> 00:05:27.423 to cut this in half, adding points in the middle of this edge, 00:05:28.191 --> 00:05:30.751 what you use is Loop Cut and Slide. 00:05:32.287 --> 00:05:36.383 I’ll click on it, and then, you'll have over the edge you want to cut. 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:38.943 They’ll cut all the way around the model. 00:05:39.455 --> 00:05:40.223 So I will cut. 00:05:40.735 --> 00:05:42.783 And then say, where I cut? 00:05:43.039 --> 00:05:44.575 Wherever I want. In this case, 00:05:45.087 --> 00:05:48.671 I like the exact middle. So type 0 and hit "enter", 00:05:49.183 --> 00:05:50.719 that always cuts in the middle bit. 00:05:51.999 --> 00:05:53.791 The one just above that, I skip. 00:05:54.303 --> 00:05:55.327 I skips on purpose. 00:05:55.583 --> 00:05:56.607 I will select 00:05:57.631 --> 00:06:00.191 everything and hit Subdivide. 00:06:00.447 --> 00:06:01.471 You will see what it does. 00:06:01.983 --> 00:06:03.775 It adds points 00:06:04.287 --> 00:06:05.055 everywhere 00:06:05.311 --> 00:06:05.823 completely. 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:09.407 It’s not random. But it just add them everywhere, 00:06:09.663 --> 00:06:15.807 which makes your model more and more detailed, which can be nice. But it gives you detail also in places 00:06:16.063 --> 00:06:16.831 where you maybe don't need it. 00:06:17.343 --> 00:06:18.111 So it lacks control. 00:06:19.647 --> 00:06:22.207 If you do it to a single edge, 00:06:22.719 --> 00:06:23.231 I can 00:06:23.743 --> 00:06:24.511 Subdivide. 00:06:24.767 --> 00:06:28.351 It adds a point in the middle of that edge. That seems very nice. 00:06:29.631 --> 00:06:30.143 But, 00:06:30.655 --> 00:06:32.703 it means that the shape 00:06:33.215 --> 00:06:33.983 next to the edge 00:06:34.495 --> 00:06:36.799 is no longer a quad. 00:06:38.847 --> 00:06:39.359 It isn't a square. 00:06:39.615 --> 00:06:40.639 This is a square, right? 00:06:42.943 --> 00:06:44.991 This is something with 5 points 00:06:45.247 --> 00:06:46.527 attached to it. 00:06:47.039 --> 00:06:47.807 This point is also part of that face. 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:52.415 And you really don't want that. 00:06:52.671 --> 00:06:56.511 The reason you don't want that is that, Lloop Cut and Slide 00:06:57.023 --> 00:06:58.047 no longer works here. 00:06:59.071 --> 00:07:01.631 You see it goes all the way around until here. 00:07:01.887 --> 00:07:02.655 And it doesn't want 00:07:02.911 --> 00:07:04.703 to cut the front face anymore. 00:07:05.471 --> 00:07:08.031 The features like Loop Cut and Slide 00:07:08.543 --> 00:07:11.103 only work if your model is made out of squares. 00:07:12.383 --> 00:07:14.431 Squares are really really nice. 00:07:14.687 --> 00:07:20.063 The reason being that, if you come to an intersection, you know which way is a head, which is to the left, 00:07:21.087 --> 00:07:21.599 and which is to the right. 00:07:22.111 --> 00:07:24.159 I'll lock Loop Cut and I’ll undo 00:07:25.183 --> 00:07:26.463 with Ctrl Z, 00:07:27.743 --> 00:07:28.767 until it is done. 00:07:30.303 --> 00:07:31.583 We are back to squares. 00:07:32.095 --> 00:07:34.143 This is really neat. 00:07:35.935 --> 00:07:38.239 So I can add detail in this way. I can loop cut 00:07:38.495 --> 00:07:39.519 wherever I want. 00:07:40.031 --> 00:07:45.919 And I can extrude regions as well. Be careful. Don't just extrude anything. Always make sure 00:07:46.175 --> 00:07:47.455 you have faces selected 00:07:48.991 --> 00:07:50.271 in their entirety. 00:07:50.783 --> 00:07:51.551 So I will 00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:52.831 do that, 00:07:53.087 --> 00:07:53.855 really neat. 00:07:55.135 --> 00:07:55.903 Extrude out. 00:07:58.975 --> 00:08:01.023 Maybe where I'm going with this, 00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:02.303 select the front face, 00:08:02.815 --> 00:08:03.839 and extrude that as well. 00:08:04.863 --> 00:08:07.423 Almost turning into a little character. 00:08:09.471 --> 00:08:10.751 That brings me to the next bit. 00:08:11.007 --> 00:08:13.311 Because what I do not want to do is 00:08:13.567 --> 00:08:19.199 I've made his left arm and left leg, I don't want to make his right arm and right leg 00:08:19.455 --> 00:08:20.223 by hand as well. 00:08:21.247 --> 00:08:22.271 We can auto made 00:08:22.527 --> 00:08:23.295 that’s sort of thing. 00:08:36.351 --> 00:08:42.495 You don't always have to add all points by hand. Somethings we can do automated in Blender. 00:08:43.007 --> 00:08:44.799 If you look on the right, 00:08:45.311 --> 00:08:50.175 this is our Properties panel. This is the object I'm in. It is still called Cube. 00:08:50.687 --> 00:08:52.991 And if I go to the right two more spaces, 00:08:53.247 --> 00:08:55.551 there is a little wrench symbol. 00:08:55.807 --> 00:08:57.343 The little wrench is for 00:08:58.623 --> 00:08:59.647 Object modifiers. 00:08:59.903 --> 00:09:00.927 The modifiers are automated functions 00:09:01.951 --> 00:09:05.791 that do things to your shape. 00:09:06.303 --> 00:09:11.679 I will add a modifier here. For instance, I can add a Subdivision Surface. 00:09:11.935 --> 00:09:12.959 This is the one that a lot of people use 00:09:13.215 --> 00:09:16.799 a lot of the time. I will put one there. You can see, 00:09:17.055 --> 00:09:18.335 it adds point 00:09:18.591 --> 00:09:20.383 to my entire model. By the way, 00:09:21.151 --> 00:09:23.199 it doesn't matter whether I'm in Edit Mode 00:09:23.967 --> 00:09:27.295 or Object Mode. If you go into Edit Mode, you can see, 00:09:28.575 --> 00:09:31.647 it doesn't actually add points that I can edit. 00:09:31.903 --> 00:09:34.463 There are more points here in the grey model. 00:09:34.975 --> 00:09:36.767 But the actual point I can edit 00:09:38.303 --> 00:09:40.607 are still just the few I already had. 00:09:41.119 --> 00:09:42.399 So I can still go here 00:09:42.655 --> 00:09:43.167 and extrude. 00:09:43.935 --> 00:09:48.543 It adds extra points. But all these rounding is done for me. 00:09:49.055 --> 00:09:50.079 I can even make it 00:09:50.335 --> 00:09:51.359 a little more rounded. 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:55.455 This character is coming along really nicely. 00:09:56.735 --> 00:09:58.783 We can extrude and still edit. 00:09:59.039 --> 00:09:59.551 But we don't have to edit 00:09:59.807 --> 00:10:01.087 as many points as you might expect. 00:10:03.647 --> 00:10:04.159 You can edit. 00:10:05.439 --> 00:10:08.511 I’ll change the shape of it. In the meantime, 00:10:08.767 --> 00:10:10.047 we don’t have to finish straight away. 00:10:10.815 --> 00:10:12.095 That's starting to look like 00:10:12.863 --> 00:10:14.911 what I had in mind. Here we go. 00:10:16.447 --> 00:10:17.471 That could be an elbow there. 00:10:19.007 --> 00:10:20.799 What I mentioned before was 00:10:21.055 --> 00:10:26.687 I don't really want to edit all these stuff on the other side as well. I've already made his left arm. 00:10:26.943 --> 00:10:28.991 I would actually like his right arm 00:10:29.503 --> 00:10:32.063 to look exactly the same as his left arm. 00:10:33.087 --> 00:10:39.231 We can also use a modifier for that. First what I will do is, 00:10:39.487 --> 00:10:40.767 remove everything on this side. 00:10:41.023 --> 00:10:43.839 What I just did for selecting was drawing a box. 00:10:45.119 --> 00:10:47.935 Click B on your keyboard and then draw a box 00:10:48.191 --> 00:10:49.215 around what you want to select. 00:10:50.751 --> 00:10:51.775 Delete those verts. 00:10:52.287 --> 00:10:57.151 I just made a hole in my model, which is something I shouldn't be doing. 00:10:57.407 --> 00:11:01.503 I did it anyway. Now I'll add a Mirror Modifier. 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:02.271 You'll see, 00:11:02.783 --> 00:11:06.111 it mirrors my character on the other side, 00:11:06.367 --> 00:11:07.391 straight away. 00:11:07.647 --> 00:11:08.159 That works 00:11:08.415 --> 00:11:09.439 really really well. 00:11:09.951 --> 00:11:13.023 And if I edit the points on this side, for instance, 00:11:13.535 --> 00:11:14.815 select all of this stuff, 00:11:16.351 --> 00:11:18.911 the other side is edited with it automatically. 00:11:19.423 --> 00:11:20.191 We can give him 00:11:20.447 --> 00:11:21.215 some skinny hips. 00:11:22.495 --> 00:11:23.007 Oops, if I cancel it. 00:11:24.287 --> 00:11:24.799 There we go. 00:11:27.103 --> 00:11:27.871 That works. 00:11:28.383 --> 00:11:31.455 Something that I'm thinking about when I do things 00:11:31.711 --> 00:11:32.991 for 3D printing is, 00:11:33.247 --> 00:11:35.295 I don't really want arms 00:11:35.551 --> 00:11:37.599 sticking out at the side of my character. 00:11:37.855 --> 00:11:39.647 For lot of 3D printing technique, 00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:42.207 like for instance, this is a Doris, 00:11:42.463 --> 00:11:43.231 he has wings 00:11:43.487 --> 00:11:45.279 sticking out of his side. 00:11:45.535 --> 00:11:46.559 That can be printed fine 00:11:46.815 --> 00:11:51.423 in this full color technique. You see his arms are sticking out of his body as well. 00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:56.287 This is fine because he is printed in a powder basin that can support 00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:58.847 the weight of the arms as they're made. 00:12:00.127 --> 00:12:03.967 If ever you want to print on an extrusion type printer, 00:12:04.735 --> 00:12:08.831 like the Makeball I have, like Automaker, or there is many different ones, 00:12:09.343 --> 00:12:11.903 they can't do that. They can't make arms 00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:13.951 sticking out of the side 00:12:14.207 --> 00:12:14.975 because they need support underneath it. 00:12:15.743 --> 00:12:18.559 If I want to print this guy on my own printer, 00:12:18.815 --> 00:12:21.631 I can't do this. I can't have his arms like this. 00:12:21.887 --> 00:12:23.167 So what I will do 00:12:23.423 --> 00:12:27.775 is I want to connect the arm as if he's standing with his hands in his sides. 00:12:28.543 --> 00:12:30.079 And I'll do that 00:12:30.591 --> 00:12:32.127 by making a hole here on his hip, 00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:34.943 actually Inset in here. 00:12:36.735 --> 00:12:41.087 Inset is a very nice function as well, along with Extrude and Loop Cut. 00:12:41.599 --> 00:12:44.671 But you can't find it in the Add menu. 00:12:44.927 --> 00:12:45.695 Instead, 00:12:46.207 --> 00:12:49.279 if you know it's called, I know there is a function called Inset, 00:12:49.535 --> 00:12:51.071 I don't know where to find it, 00:12:51.327 --> 00:12:55.423 you can hit the spacebar. I'll hit the spacebar that give you a Search menu. 00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:56.191 In here, 00:12:56.447 --> 00:12:57.727 you can find 00:12:58.239 --> 00:12:59.519 every function in Blender. 00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:02.591 I will type Inset, 00:13:03.103 --> 00:13:06.687 and it tells me the function is called Inset Faces. 00:13:07.199 --> 00:13:10.271 And the letter I does it for me automatically. 00:13:11.295 --> 00:13:13.855 Click on I on my keyboard or I can click on it here. 00:13:14.623 --> 00:13:16.159 I'll click over here and move my mouse in a bit. 00:13:18.975 --> 00:13:19.743 Inset. I can then 00:13:21.023 --> 00:13:23.071 select the points around the face, 00:13:23.327 --> 00:13:26.399 and click on X or Delete to delete 00:13:26.655 --> 00:13:27.679 only the face. 00:13:28.191 --> 00:13:30.239 That cuts a neat hole in my model. 00:13:30.751 --> 00:13:32.287 And I'll do the same here. 00:13:33.823 --> 00:13:35.103 Select all four. 00:13:35.615 --> 00:13:36.127 Delete the face. 00:13:37.151 --> 00:13:39.199 Now I've got two holes 00:13:39.455 --> 00:13:40.223 which I like to connect. 00:13:40.479 --> 00:13:42.015 I’ll go look from the bottom, 00:13:42.527 --> 00:13:44.063 so I can align them a bit. 00:13:45.855 --> 00:13:49.439 I could do this automatically, but I'll do it by hand. These ones, 00:13:50.207 --> 00:13:50.975 I select 4 points 00:13:51.231 --> 00:13:55.071 which I know I want to connect with a square. 00:13:55.583 --> 00:13:56.863 And then you can hit F 00:13:57.119 --> 00:13:58.143 on your keyboard, 00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:00.191 or you can find it here as well. 00:14:00.447 --> 00:14:00.959 You can 00:14:01.215 --> 00:14:01.983 under Face, 00:14:02.495 --> 00:14:03.519 Make Edge/Face 00:14:05.567 --> 00:14:06.591 is letter F. 00:14:07.103 --> 00:14:08.639 So I can select 4, and hit F. 00:14:11.455 --> 00:14:14.271 And I will do that all the way around here. 00:14:15.551 --> 00:14:17.599 Make my character a little bit strange. 00:14:17.855 --> 00:14:18.367 I think. 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:20.159 But it's a good start. 00:14:21.695 --> 00:14:23.231 Now if this is steep enough, 00:14:23.743 --> 00:14:28.607 this horizontal, if it starts printing it, this will drop down on my printer. 00:14:30.655 --> 00:14:33.471 But if I select all of these and make it steep enough, 00:14:36.031 --> 00:14:38.591 I should be able to print it. This maybe not. 00:14:40.127 --> 00:14:44.223 We have some really nice new tools in Blender that help you check 00:14:44.991 --> 00:14:46.527 whether it is steep enough. 00:14:46.783 --> 00:14:50.623 Right now, I'm guesstimating. The checking is for a later tutorial. 00:14:51.135 --> 00:14:53.183 This is starting to look pretty nice. 00:14:53.439 --> 00:14:57.279 We've got a Subsurf that we can make more and less detail. 00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:01.375 And the left is automatically mirrored on the right. 00:15:15.199 --> 00:15:17.759 To finish this part, I want to show you 00:15:18.015 --> 00:15:21.599 a few little things about these modifiers we've added. 00:15:22.111 --> 00:15:26.463 One is that you can disable them temporarily really easily. 00:15:26.719 --> 00:15:30.815 I can click on the "eye", and you see the model as it would be 00:15:31.071 --> 00:15:32.095 without the modifier attached. 00:15:32.863 --> 00:15:36.703 Very neat way to see if you have anything too weird happening. 00:15:37.471 --> 00:15:37.983 You can just 00:15:38.239 --> 00:15:39.007 modify it 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:40.031 in here. 00:15:40.287 --> 00:15:40.799 This look pretty OK. 00:15:43.103 --> 00:15:43.615 So I go back. 00:15:46.687 --> 00:15:50.271 Another thing you can do with modifiers is changed their order. 00:15:50.783 --> 00:15:53.343 You will see here in the crotch, for instance, 00:15:54.367 --> 00:15:55.647 the way that this is 00:15:55.903 --> 00:15:56.671 subsurface 00:15:56.927 --> 00:15:58.975 changes if I mirror it first. 00:15:59.487 --> 00:16:01.023 I can click on the little arrow, 00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:04.095 and it's gone lower. It's a lot smoother 00:16:04.351 --> 00:16:07.167 by mirroring and then subsurfing. I'll do it again. 00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:08.191 You see, 00:16:08.447 --> 00:16:09.215 it changes. 00:16:09.471 --> 00:16:12.543 So you can change the order of these. You can click on the little X 00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:14.079 if you want to remove 00:16:14.335 --> 00:16:15.359 the modifier. 00:16:16.127 --> 00:16:18.687 Another really helpful function 00:16:19.199 --> 00:16:23.295 in the Mirror Modifier is Clipping. That's one that I wanted to show you. 00:16:23.807 --> 00:16:25.855 It is now disabled, 00:16:26.367 --> 00:16:28.159 that is the way it is by default. 00:16:28.415 --> 00:16:30.463 If I select everything 00:16:31.487 --> 00:16:32.767 and I move it to the right, 00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:35.839 just clicked G move it to the right. You can see 00:16:36.351 --> 00:16:40.703 there's a big gap between, the two halves arn't actually connected. 00:16:41.215 --> 00:16:42.495 If, however, 00:16:42.751 --> 00:16:44.543 I have Clipping switched on, 00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:45.823 I can't connect them. 00:16:46.847 --> 00:16:49.663 I will go to the front, I have this selected. 00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:52.223 If you want to select an entire Loop by the way, 00:16:52.735 --> 00:16:53.759 hold down Alt, 00:16:54.271 --> 00:16:57.087 and then click on an edge, 00:16:57.343 --> 00:16:58.367 and select the entire Loop. 00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:00.159 I’ll go to the front view 00:17:00.415 --> 00:17:01.695 and extrude this out 00:17:02.719 --> 00:17:03.999 towards the centre. 00:17:04.511 --> 00:17:07.583 And I cannot move this beyond the center. 00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:12.191 Once it is connected, I cannot move it away from the center, either. 00:17:13.471 --> 00:17:15.263 Clipping is also very nice 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:16.799 if I want to 00:17:17.311 --> 00:17:18.847 extrude all of these. 00:17:19.871 --> 00:17:21.151 It will assume or 00:17:22.943 --> 00:17:23.967 simulated 00:17:24.223 --> 00:17:30.367 as if I've also selected on the other side; as if it's all connected. 00:17:31.391 --> 00:17:33.439 So I can extrude and move all this up a bit. 00:17:33.951 --> 00:17:34.719 There we go. 00:17:35.743 --> 00:17:37.535 I have now made the shape. 00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:39.583 That is pretty nice. 00:17:40.095 --> 00:17:42.399 If I want to select the edge around it, 00:17:43.679 --> 00:17:44.191 can Shft and Alt, 00:17:44.703 --> 00:17:45.727 select like this. 00:17:45.983 --> 00:17:46.751 A little trick 00:17:47.007 --> 00:17:52.127 for the Subsurf Modifier. You can see, Subsurf Modifier makes everything smooth. 00:17:53.407 --> 00:17:54.943 Sometimes you want a hard edge. 00:17:55.455 --> 00:17:56.223 To do that, 00:17:57.759 --> 00:17:58.527 you want to crease it. 00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:01.599 Creasing is like folding a piece of paper 00:18:01.855 --> 00:18:03.391 or creasing a piece of cloth, 00:18:03.903 --> 00:18:05.695 you make a hard edge. 00:18:06.207 --> 00:18:06.975 You can find 00:18:07.231 --> 00:18:10.815 all sorts of things to do with edges under Ctrl E, 00:18:11.071 --> 00:18:12.863 that gives you the Edges Menu. 00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:15.423 In here, I want to, in this case 00:18:15.935 --> 00:18:16.959 Edge Crease 00:18:17.215 --> 00:18:17.983 or Shft E. 00:18:18.239 --> 00:18:19.775 I do Edge Crease, 00:18:20.543 --> 00:18:22.847 drag it away, 00:18:23.103 --> 00:18:23.615 you see, 00:18:23.871 --> 00:18:27.455 we've created a hard edge around the shape here. 00:18:28.223 --> 00:18:29.759 And if I want to make 00:18:30.527 --> 00:18:32.831 the entire character little thinner, 00:18:33.087 --> 00:18:34.367 that is fine too. 00:18:34.879 --> 00:18:35.647 Just have to make sure 00:18:37.951 --> 00:18:43.583 I don't drag it beyond the middle, because they all disappear. This is what the Clipping does. If I switch it off, 00:18:44.095 --> 00:18:45.119 I can drag him 00:18:45.375 --> 00:18:47.167 beyond the middle just fine. 00:18:47.423 --> 00:18:48.191 Clipping 00:18:48.447 --> 00:18:48.959 stays on. 00:18:49.727 --> 00:18:51.263 Just drag him to the middle a bit. 00:18:52.031 --> 00:18:52.799 Let’s give something to look through. 00:18:55.103 --> 00:18:55.871 I will just do 00:18:56.127 --> 00:18:56.639 these two, 00:18:56.895 --> 00:18:58.431 for this case, or just this one, 00:18:59.967 --> 00:19:00.735 Extrude it in. 00:19:01.247 --> 00:19:02.015 Here we go. 00:19:02.527 --> 00:19:04.831 He’s got a little bit of an eye slids thing hole, 00:19:07.135 --> 00:19:07.903 or a helmet. 00:19:08.415 --> 00:19:09.951 This is a weird little character. 00:19:10.975 --> 00:19:13.023 If I wanted to print him, 00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:14.047 I can go 00:19:14.303 --> 00:19:14.815 File, Export, 00:19:16.863 --> 00:19:17.631 and then choose 00:19:17.887 --> 00:19:19.167 your file format. 00:19:19.679 --> 00:19:23.007 This guy doesn't have any colour. He is very simple. 00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:28.895 We would pick STL. That's the most common format for none colored objects. 00:19:31.455 --> 00:19:37.599 You can export and get a print, which is what I've done with a guy I made in exactly the same way, 00:19:37.855 --> 00:19:40.159 though I spent a little bit more time on giving him 00:19:40.415 --> 00:19:42.719 a more refined shape. 00:19:42.975 --> 00:19:45.279 And I even made a little friend for him. 00:19:45.791 --> 00:19:50.143 I will include these models on the DVD. So you can have a quick look. 00:19:50.399 --> 00:19:54.239 It just took about twice as much time as this tutorial took. 00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:59.615 Before you export, however, have a look at the Scaling tutorial. 00:19:59.871 --> 00:20:04.223 Because this guy right now would print. I think at 1 cm tall.
