WEBVTT 00:00:06.656 --> 00:00:12.800 We’ll begin by Modeling the eyes. For that， we're going to use the default cube， 00:00:13.056 --> 00:00:19.200 but delete all the vertices in Edit Mode. Shift X and delete. Then we'll add a circle， 00:00:19.456 --> 00:00:23.040 and press F6 to edit the properties of this last operation. 00:00:23.296 --> 00:00:27.648 The amount of vertices will be 12， which is a good number， and align to View. 00:00:28.416 --> 00:00:34.560 It was the Front View， the one we're working on. Then we’ll add a Mirror Modifier， 00:00:34.816 --> 00:00:37.376 so we only have to Model half of it. 00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:45.824 We’ll now rotate this to the side. For that， we're going to hit R twice. 00:00:46.080 --> 00:00:49.152 So it will execute a track by rotation based on the centre of the selection. 00:00:49.664 --> 00:00:55.296 Now let's extrude this shape to the inside by hitting E and S， 00:00:56.064 --> 00:00:57.856 moving the mouse to the center. 00:00:58.624 --> 00:01:04.768 Keep in mind that， Blender cares for the position of the cursor. If it's close to the centre of selection， 00:01:05.024 --> 00:01:07.840 then the transformation will be much more stronger. 00:01:08.096 --> 00:01:13.728 If your mouse is far away from the centre of the selection， the transformation will be subtle. 00:01:16.032 --> 00:01:21.664 Just did another extrusion to the inside. Now we’ll make the bridge between the eyes. 00:01:23.456 --> 00:01:26.528 E， Extrude， and then moved to the centre. 00:01:27.296 --> 00:01:32.928 They overlapped， because we didn't enable the Clipping option in the Mirror Modifier. 00:01:33.440 --> 00:01:37.024 It makes that so the mesh doesn't go through the other side of the mirror. 00:01:38.048 --> 00:01:43.424 Let's continue with the nodes. I select that loop by holding Alt and right click 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:44.448 on an edge. 00:01:46.240 --> 00:01:47.264 Then Extrude， with E. 00:01:49.568 --> 00:01:52.384 And start to making the nose shape of this character. 00:01:56.736 --> 00:02:02.368 For that loop cut at the end， I used the Loop Cut tool， which is Ctrl R， the shortcut for it. 00:02:02.624 --> 00:02:05.696 We’ll use it again. 00:02:06.464 --> 00:02:11.072 But for now， you can see that， it makes a little pink line along a loop. 00:02:11.328 --> 00:02:13.888 You can hit left click to accept that. 00:02:15.424 --> 00:02:20.032 Going to extrude this part of the nose. First let's shape it a bit better. 00:02:20.288 --> 00:02:26.432 The nose was very very tricky. I made it a couple of times before actually making it right now here. 00:02:27.456 --> 00:02:31.040 I know is cheating. But I want to show you the cleanest way to for making it. 00:02:31.552 --> 00:02:37.696 I made a hole for the nose basically， then， extrude it in， so I have a nice look there. 00:02:37.952 --> 00:02:44.096 I continue joining the top part with the bottom part by making faces 00:02:44.352 --> 00:02:48.960 with F key， selecting forward， to make a new shape， 00:02:49.216 --> 00:02:50.240 a new face. 00:02:52.288 --> 00:02:56.384 Then cutting with Ctrl R. I'm not using any new tool right now. 00:02:56.896 --> 00:02:58.688 You can see on the bottom left， 00:02:58.944 --> 00:02:59.968 all the keys I pressed. 00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:06.368 I need more vertices over there， 00:03:06.624 --> 00:03:08.416 so I'm going to add with Ctrl R. 00:03:12.256 --> 00:03:14.304 Using the Loop Cut tool. 00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:16.864 Then what I'm trying to do now is a way 00:03:18.912 --> 00:03:20.960 to make the nostril， 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:23.776 to keep that part clean. 00:03:35.296 --> 00:03:36.576 Maybe that's ok. 00:03:37.088 --> 00:03:41.696 F to make a face and then I just keep extruding to the inside. 00:03:41.952 --> 00:03:44.512 But the most important was to have 00:03:45.024 --> 00:03:47.328 the shape of the nose well. 00:03:47.584 --> 00:03:53.728 I just added a Subdivision Surface Modifier， which basically subdivides the faces 00:03:53.984 --> 00:03:55.776 and smooth the interpolation between them. 00:03:56.032 --> 00:03:59.360 So you have a much better and softer mesh. 00:03:59.616 --> 00:04:05.760 But as you can see， parts where you don't have enough vertices， it makes it too small. Almost every Modifier 00:04:06.016 --> 00:04:08.064 has 4 little buttons in the header of each one. 00:04:08.320 --> 00:04:14.208 The first one being to enable or disable the visibility of these Modifiers on Blender. 00:04:14.464 --> 00:04:18.047 The second one is to enable the disable it in the 3D View. 00:04:18.303 --> 00:04:24.447 The third one is for editing， we want to see it in Edit Mode or not， 00:04:24.703 --> 00:04:25.727 while it is still in Object Mode. 00:04:25.983 --> 00:04:32.127 And the fourth one is a Cage. So you basically see the actual position of the vertices 00:04:32.383 --> 00:04:36.223 after the transformation of this Modifier. 00:04:36.479 --> 00:04:38.271 Modeling with that Cage enabled is not recommended. 00:04:38.783 --> 00:04:44.927 Because you don't actually add the actual position of the vertices， 00:04:45.183 --> 00:04:46.975 and it is not comfortable. 00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:55.423 This Modifier subdivides the meshes and make it more smooth. But you lose this hard edge， sometimes. 00:04:55.679 --> 00:04:57.215 If you want to add that back， 00:04:58.751 --> 00:05:03.871 the best way is to subdivide that part or just adding new loop cut. 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:09.247 The more vertices you have， the more defined your mesh will be. 00:05:13.087 --> 00:05:19.231 Box Selection is made by Ctrl B. You hit Ctrl B and then throw a box， 00:05:19.487 --> 00:05:20.255 that would be your selection. 00:05:21.791 --> 00:05:27.935 If you accept that selection with left click， then you will select the vertices around there. 00:05:28.191 --> 00:05:31.519 But if you do it with middle mouse button instead of left click， 00:05:31.775 --> 00:05:33.823 it will deselect whatever is inside that box. 00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:39.455 Sometimes， it's nice to hide some vertices， so you can see the Mesh without them. 00:05:39.967 --> 00:05:46.111 Just select them and hit H to hide， and Alt H to unhide. You can see now 00:05:46.367 --> 00:05:49.439 why it was a good thing that we had that loop over there. 00:05:49.695 --> 00:05:54.815 Because that way， I can hit Ctrl R to make a new loop cut， like I just did， 00:05:55.071 --> 00:05:57.631 and add more detail whatever I need it. 00:05:57.887 --> 00:06:02.495 And the detail will stay in that part， it will not go to the rest of the head or the body， 00:06:02.751 --> 00:06:03.775 that's a great thing. 00:06:04.031 --> 00:06:08.127 Before spending more time in the nose， let’s move down to the mouth. 00:06:08.383 --> 00:06:10.175 Select that Loop， 00:06:10.943 --> 00:06:13.247 with holding Alt and right click. 00:06:13.503 --> 00:06:18.879 Then Extrude， hold middle mouse button and draw line down. 00:06:19.135 --> 00:06:24.767 That will constrain that to the vertical axis， which is in this case， Z. 00:06:25.791 --> 00:06:31.935 If you do it in another direction， like horizontal， it will constrain it to the other axis， which in this case， is Y. 00:06:32.191 --> 00:06:38.335 Now I just close the bottom part by extruding from the side to the centre of the mesh. 00:06:38.847 --> 00:06:44.991 And in the back， it has 4 vertices， so I can make a face. But in the front， I have 5 vertices， so I will need a Loop Cut. 00:06:45.247 --> 00:06:47.551 But actually， if you think of it， 00:06:48.063 --> 00:06:52.415 that part will be the neck. I don't need that. I should delete the vertices. 00:06:52.671 --> 00:06:58.815 And all the detail I need will be actually under the mouth. Then I can add a Loop Cut， 00:06:59.071 --> 00:07:00.095 so I can have the same amount of vertices 00:07:00.607 --> 00:07:03.679 in the front part of the face and the bottom part of the mouth. 00:07:05.471 --> 00:07:06.495 Because I don't care 00:07:07.007 --> 00:07:10.847 on the neck part. I will actually need vertices later on. 00:07:12.127 --> 00:07:16.223 Just a matter of tweaking and I'm just extruding. 00:07:19.807 --> 00:07:24.927 Just keep using Extrude and tweaking the shape of my character. 00:07:32.095 --> 00:07:33.887 Let's add more details to the mouth. 00:07:34.143 --> 00:07:39.007 Ctrl R again to add a Loop Cut， because we have a nice loop over there， 00:07:40.031 --> 00:07:42.335 that would be the bottom part of the mouth. 00:07:45.151 --> 00:07:47.455 You can already see where this is going. 00:07:50.527 --> 00:07:53.599 Basically， I'm opening up what it would be the mouth. 00:07:54.623 --> 00:07:56.671 Let’s use a new tool over here. 00:07:57.695 --> 00:07:58.975 Let's cut this part. 00:08:00.511 --> 00:08:01.791 I could do it with Ctrl R. 00:08:02.047 --> 00:08:08.191 But that'll make vertices all over the back of the face， I don't need that. 00:08:08.447 --> 00:08:09.215 I only want detail in the mouth. 00:08:09.471 --> 00:08:15.615 So， we're going to use a new tool called Knife. It’s pretty simple to use. You just hit K， 00:08:17.151 --> 00:08:18.687 then draw the figure you want to cut. 00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:22.015 Something like that. We can make that the mouth shape. 00:08:22.783 --> 00:08:27.903 Blender can cut and drag faces of any number of polygon. 00:08:28.671 --> 00:08:34.815 But， for example， this big one here， that's actually a face. But we don't really want something like that， 00:08:35.071 --> 00:08:37.119 because it doesn't work that well for animation. 00:08:37.631 --> 00:08:43.263 What we're going to do is， fix this and convert to quads. How to do that? We can do it manually， 00:08:44.543 --> 00:08:48.383 by selecting two vertices and hitting J. 00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:54.783 J will create a link between these two vertices and split the faces. 00:08:56.575 --> 00:08:58.367 Now we have a nice loop over there. 00:09:04.767 --> 00:09:06.047 Check the shape. 00:09:17.055 --> 00:09:19.103 Now I want to remove that part. 00:09:24.479 --> 00:09:28.575 Selection Mode， Ctrl Tab， to switch the selection modes. 00:09:29.599 --> 00:09:32.159 I need to fix that here in the front. 00:09:32.415 --> 00:09:34.975 Since when I did the cut， I didn't cut this part. 00:09:37.023 --> 00:09:37.791 Is easy to fix. 00:09:38.303 --> 00:09:39.583 That edge， 00:09:41.119 --> 00:09:43.167 Extrude and then make a face on the hole. 00:09:44.191 --> 00:09:45.727 Selecting the vertices. 00:09:45.983 --> 00:09:52.127 Hitting F. To select that ring， you could do it manually. There is a shortcut for that. 00:09:52.383 --> 00:09:58.527 It’s Ctrl Alt right click on the edge and it’ll select all the edges in that edge ring. 00:09:59.551 --> 00:10:05.183 Then， it's a matter de-selecting the other ones. 00:10:05.439 --> 00:10:08.255 I did it， in this case， with the Circle Selection， which is C， 00:10:08.767 --> 00:10:10.559 and then just remove the edges. 00:10:16.959 --> 00:10:20.031 Since we have this nice loop over there， 00:10:20.287 --> 00:10:24.127 we can tweak the vertices a little bit， moving around and add a loop. 00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:27.711 So we can have more definition in the lips area. 00:10:30.015 --> 00:10:32.063 Ctr R to add a loop， 00:10:32.575 --> 00:10:36.159 and then I’ll scale it. But not scale with S. 00:10:37.183 --> 00:10:41.791 I will scale it with Alt S. Which is the tool， Shrink/Flatten. 00:10:42.303 --> 00:10:45.631 It's really nice， it's like Scaling. But instead of Scaling 00:10:45.887 --> 00:10:49.471 from the center of the selection， it’ll do it along the normal of each face. 00:10:49.727 --> 00:10:50.751 In this case， it’s vertices， 00:10:53.311 --> 00:10:55.615 that's what we have selected. 00:10:56.127 --> 00:11:00.479 It's really handy. Because for example， if you're facing vertex， 00:11:02.527 --> 00:11:03.807 it will scale it 00:11:04.319 --> 00:11:05.855 in some direction， 00:11:06.111 --> 00:11:07.647 which is called the Normal. 00:11:07.903 --> 00:11:12.511 Here I need to add more detail below the nose. So I could just cut 00:11:12.767 --> 00:11:18.911 with Loop Cut. But it’ll go all the way to the top of the head. I just remove the inner part of the nostril. 00:11:19.167 --> 00:11:23.263 I can loop cut over there and just have detail where I need it， 00:11:23.775 --> 00:11:29.919 without worrying about the rest. A bit of tweaking， and then， I can close the nostril again. 00:11:31.967 --> 00:11:33.759 There is no actual need of that. 00:11:34.015 --> 00:11:35.807 But it's nice to keep it closed. 00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:52.191 So since I have 8 vertices， 00:11:52.959 --> 00:11:55.775 it’s nice to close it. 00:11:57.055 --> 00:12:01.919 Since there was a face before there， there're four vertices. If I did one cut， 00:12:02.175 --> 00:12:08.319 I wouldn't have an even amount of vertices to make faces later. So that's why I did two. 00:12:08.575 --> 00:12:14.719 Some more tweaking. When you want to tweak a big amount of vertices， or when they are too close together， 00:12:14.975 --> 00:12:21.119 you can enable Proportional Editing tool from here or just hitting O. Now every time you use Transform， like Rotation， 00:12:22.143 --> 00:12:28.287 Grab or Scale， you will notice that there is a little circle around your selection. 00:12:29.055 --> 00:12:31.359 That means， whatever is inside that circle， 00:12:31.615 --> 00:12:34.431 it will be affected by the transformation you make. 00:12:34.687 --> 00:12:40.831 You can change the size of that circle by hitting "+" or "-"， or you can choose a scroll wheel. 00:12:41.087 --> 00:12:47.231 Now， let's smooth the surface， so we can see a better shading on our Mesh. 00:12:47.487 --> 00:12:52.607 This option is under the W menu， call "Specials"， but there are two options， "Smooth" and "Shade Smooth". 00:12:53.119 --> 00:12:57.727 The Smooth option smoothes the position of the vertices. 00:12:57.983 --> 00:13:03.359 We don’t want that， we want the Shade Smooth. When you add a circle and you extrude it， 00:13:03.615 --> 00:13:06.943 the normals are not pointing to the same side. 00:13:07.455 --> 00:13:11.295 We have to fix this manually. This is why we see all these black things here. 00:13:13.343 --> 00:13:19.487 We fix this by recalculating the Normals， by hitting Ctrl N 00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:22.303 in Edit Mode. 00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:24.351 Or you can do it also from the T， 00:13:24.607 --> 00:13:26.655 the Tools panel， in the left side. 00:13:26.911 --> 00:13:33.055 Tweaking a bit more the eyes socket， I want to add 00:13:33.311 --> 00:13:35.359 a Placeholder Sphere over there， 00:13:35.615 --> 00:13:37.151 so I don't deform this too much， 00:13:37.407 --> 00:13:43.551 because there will be an eye there. Since your options are added on the position of the cursor， let's put it there. 00:13:44.319 --> 00:13:47.391 Select the ring of the eye， 00:13:47.647 --> 00:13:53.023 and then Mesh， snap cursor to select it， or you can also do Shift S， 00:13:53.791 --> 00:13:57.375 then the cursor is positioned and the selection. 00:13:57.631 --> 00:14:00.447 That's great. Then we could add a new mesh. 00:14:00.959 --> 00:14:03.775 We could do it actually in Object Mode. But then， 00:14:04.543 --> 00:14:10.687 this new object， we don’t have any Modifier. We have to do it manually. So it's faster 00:14:10.943 --> 00:14:14.015 if we actually add it inside Edit Mode of our Mesh， 00:14:16.575 --> 00:14:19.903 because it already keeps everything. Now we separate that 00:14:21.439 --> 00:14:23.743 into a separate mesh. 00:14:24.255 --> 00:14:25.279 First， 00:14:25.535 --> 00:14:29.887 let’s tweak among the vertices， just not that detailed. 00:14:31.423 --> 00:14:32.191 That’s ok. 00:14:37.567 --> 00:14:38.847 Align to View. 00:14:40.127 --> 00:14:41.919 We just rotate it the same. 00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:48.831 Scale it down a little bit 00:14:49.087 --> 00:14:50.367 to make it fit. 00:15:02.911 --> 00:15:09.055 Perfect. Now let’s separat it to another Object. So it doesn't bother when we’re Modeling. 00:15:09.311 --> 00:15:12.639 Press B， then Separate Selection. 00:15:23.135 --> 00:15:27.743 Shade Smooth. We could leave it like that. But we can also use another feature 00:15:29.791 --> 00:15:33.375 to fake the shape of the iris in our Mesh. 00:15:36.703 --> 00:15:39.263 You can select those vertices and extrude， 00:15:39.775 --> 00:15:43.103 or we can also learn a new tool， which is called Rip. 00:15:43.615 --> 00:15:45.407 You select those vertices， 00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:48.479 and then hit V. 00:15:49.247 --> 00:15:50.271 That will Rip 00:15:50.783 --> 00:15:54.367 the vertices selected， and it’ll create two separate islands. 00:15:54.623 --> 00:15:59.999 Now， our meshes are not together any more， and you can see it in the Shading. 00:16:01.791 --> 00:16:02.815 A great tool. 00:16:07.167 --> 00:16:12.543 If you want to put them together again， you can just "Remove Bevel". 00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:14.079 Because the vertices are always on top of each other. 00:16:14.335 --> 00:16:17.151 Remove Bevel is inside with the W menu， 00:16:17.407 --> 00:16:18.431 Remove Bevel. 00:16:19.711 --> 00:16:21.503 Let's close the mouth. 00:16:22.527 --> 00:16:28.159 It shouldn't be any hard. We’ve already seen most of the tools. We are going to implement the new one as an alternative. 00:16:30.719 --> 00:16:31.999 First， 00:16:32.511 --> 00:16:36.351 let's extrude that part only. 00:16:36.607 --> 00:16:39.423 So， we keep the part that actually joins the bottom and the top. 00:16:41.471 --> 00:16:46.079 Because we need more vertices there， I'm going to show you now how to do it. 00:16:46.591 --> 00:16:52.735 This thing I'm doing now is Alt B. It clips the border. 00:16:52.991 --> 00:16:54.015 It clips the view actually to a border， 00:16:54.527 --> 00:16:55.295 that you can draw. 00:16:55.807 --> 00:17:00.415 So that way， you're not cutting your actual Model， just a view. 00:17:00.671 --> 00:17:03.487 It’s easier to Model that way. 00:17:03.743 --> 00:17:05.279 For disable， just the same， 00:17:05.535 --> 00:17:06.303 Alt B. 00:17:08.863 --> 00:17:11.423 In the bottom， was pretty easy to do. 00:17:13.727 --> 00:17:18.335 I just added a new cut， so I can have more vertices close to the lips. 00:17:18.591 --> 00:17:24.735 And here， I just extrude to the inside， and then make that missing face， 00:17:24.991 --> 00:17:28.575 and then I already have a nice loop that close all around the lips. 00:17:28.831 --> 00:17:31.135 That would be the faster way to do it. 00:17:31.647 --> 00:17:36.511 Why? Because if I didn't extrude and I just joined the inner part of the mouth， 00:17:38.047 --> 00:17:38.815 and 00:17:43.679 --> 00:17:44.959 if I just join that， I will have one border， 00:17:45.471 --> 00:17:47.263 one vertex that shares many. 00:17:49.055 --> 00:17:50.079 Then， 00:17:50.335 --> 00:17:54.943 if I did it the other way around， I will have a triangle there， that is not really good. 00:17:56.223 --> 00:17:59.551 What we do is just extruding that missing bit， 00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:02.879 and then we have a nice part on the bottom， 00:18:03.135 --> 00:18:06.463 and a nice loop around the lips， which is really important too. 00:18:10.303 --> 00:18:16.447 On the top， it’s different. We have many more vertices on the front， 00:18:16.703 --> 00:18:18.239 because we added more detail， of course. 00:18:18.495 --> 00:18:22.079 But on the inside part of the mouth， we don’t have that many， actually. 00:18:23.103 --> 00:18:26.175 I could do the same and try extruding. 00:18:26.687 --> 00:18:32.831 I can get rid of some of them， but not all of them. How am I going to do that? 00:18:33.087 --> 00:18:37.439 I could add detail. But if I add detail， it will go all around the body. 00:18:39.231 --> 00:18:43.583 We don't want that. Because we'll end up with many vertices we don’t need. 00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:44.607 We're going to add detail 00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:48.447 only inside the upper side of the mouth. 00:18:49.215 --> 00:18:49.727 How? 00:18:50.239 --> 00:18:54.079 We could add， if we need more vertices at the bottom， 00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:58.687 we could use the Knife tool， like we did before. 00:18:59.967 --> 00:19:00.991 Cutting that face， 00:19:03.807 --> 00:19:09.695 using the Knife. But no， we're going to use another tool， which does something similar， 00:19:09.951 --> 00:19:11.487 which is call Inset. 00:19:13.023 --> 00:19:14.559 We're going to use 00:19:15.071 --> 00:19:20.703 this new Inset， which is something like extruding to the inside. 00:19:20.959 --> 00:19:24.031 It's much easier. The shortcut is I. 00:19:27.103 --> 00:19:29.151 Let's do it without the Cage. 00:19:29.663 --> 00:19:30.431 You hit E， 00:19:31.711 --> 00:19:37.087 then， you can select how much you want. Of course， this is not what we want. 00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:43.743 Just leave it there. Now in the F6 panel or in the Property， 00:19:43.999 --> 00:19:50.143 you can click "Boundary". Now the Inset will only happen on the boundaries. 00:19:50.399 --> 00:19:50.911 It wouldn’t happen 00:19:53.471 --> 00:19:57.567 on all the edges. That is what we need actually. 00:19:57.823 --> 00:20:02.431 Now， we have 8 vertices and we can join them. 00:20:04.223 --> 00:20:10.367 Here I could add that. Because we are actually missing vertices there to make it nicer. 00:20:12.671 --> 00:20:15.487 Here is just a matter 00:20:17.535 --> 00:20:21.119 of keep making faces. 00:20:22.655 --> 00:20:28.031 Here， I still have 3 on one side， and then two on the bottom， that is not good. 00:20:29.567 --> 00:20:31.615 Let's try the same technique again. 00:20:32.895 --> 00:20:37.759 We need one extra vertex. So we're going to use Inset again on that side， 00:20:38.015 --> 00:20:41.599 to add more vertices. So select Faces， 00:20:46.975 --> 00:20:52.863 press I， it’ll preserve the settings of the last time we used it. So it would have "boundary" disabled， 00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:55.935 it will work properly for our need. 00:20:59.007 --> 00:21:01.311 Create the Faces， minicing with F， 00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:02.847 that’s it. 00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:05.407 And now， 00:21:05.663 --> 00:21:07.455 we have all the detail on the front， 00:21:08.223 --> 00:21:09.759 and no detail in the back. 00:21:10.271 --> 00:21:11.551 Because we don't really need that. 00:21:12.063 --> 00:21:14.111 And it's the inner side of the mouth， so it's not in it 00:21:19.488 --> 00:21:21.280 a lot of relevant polygons. 00:21:21.536 --> 00:21:25.632 Unless you make a short movie or whatever， featuring the inside part of the mouth. 00:21:25.888 --> 00:21:32.032 It was a very basic. I hope you like that. we are going to model the body， using some of these new tools.
