WEBVTT 00:00.180 --> 00:04.580 Welcome to this lesson where we will continue making the Ghostbuster trap and learn a lot of new tools, 00:04.950 --> 00:06.960 so now we have the basic shape done. 00:06.960 --> 00:11.700 Let's choose a view and a piece of reference to try to add more detail in. 00:12.090 --> 00:16.410 So let's go back to our reference and look at a view like this. 00:16.410 --> 00:21.290 So I like to move my viewport to get a closer view of what the reference view is like. 00:21.660 --> 00:23.760 So it's kind of a three quarter angle like this. 00:24.000 --> 00:29.670 Let's focus on this edge here where there's a lower level here and then it goes up and there's a bubble. 00:29.880 --> 00:32.490 There's a bubble here as well, and then it goes out. 00:32.490 --> 00:35.550 So we have this higher kind of rim and a lower area here. 00:35.940 --> 00:40.830 And it looks like the backyard here is the same level as this edge here. 00:41.070 --> 00:42.450 So let's just focus on that. 00:42.450 --> 00:46.200 Any time you have reference in something that's kind of complicated, you know, break it down into 00:46.200 --> 00:50.830 its components and simplify it and only work on little sections like that at a time. 00:50.830 --> 00:52.890 So let's do this kind of edge here. 00:53.400 --> 00:54.510 So I'm going to go back in. 00:55.170 --> 00:56.490 And if I go into my face mode. 00:56.490 --> 00:57.030 Right, right. 00:57.030 --> 01:00.450 Clicking and going down a face I see like that and move it around. 01:00.450 --> 01:03.390 I can't really move this and divide this in different sections. 01:03.660 --> 01:05.010 So I need edge loops here. 01:05.010 --> 01:06.750 And that's, you know, if we're going to edge mode, right. 01:06.750 --> 01:11.460 Clicking and dragging up, I can move individual edges while we need more of those. 01:11.460 --> 01:13.470 We need an edge here to get that border. 01:13.710 --> 01:19.080 We need two edges here so that we can divide this section in half and it kind of have an angle between 01:19.080 --> 01:19.260 it. 01:19.590 --> 01:21.270 So let's add more edges. 01:21.480 --> 01:24.780 So to do that, we need to go to mesh tools, insert edge loop. 01:25.020 --> 01:30.990 And what I like to do is to add tools that I'm going to use a lot to my custom shelf. 01:31.260 --> 01:38.010 So let's move over to our custom shelf and go down to the mesh tools and hold down command and shift 01:38.430 --> 01:42.180 and then click insert loop and watch your custom shelf. 01:42.570 --> 01:47.700 So we get a new tool here so that now we don't have to keep going back to this menu. 01:47.700 --> 01:50.460 And if you do this back that in the future or you just want to delete it, you can. 01:50.460 --> 01:50.670 Right. 01:50.670 --> 01:51.810 Click and go to delete. 01:52.290 --> 01:53.730 So let's click that. 01:54.570 --> 02:01.740 And if we click and drag this, we can kind of make these two kind of areas where we're going to have 02:01.740 --> 02:03.630 the lower section and the upper section. 02:03.630 --> 02:05.040 And we have this angle here. 02:05.310 --> 02:10.200 So we need to have two edge loops, one here and one there, so we can make this division. 02:10.530 --> 02:11.550 Doesn't really matter where they are. 02:11.550 --> 02:11.970 Exactly. 02:11.970 --> 02:14.390 We can move that around later, but let's just get them in there now. 02:14.880 --> 02:16.290 So now we have those two loops. 02:16.740 --> 02:23.670 And the other thing that we're going to need to add are the edge loops of the border here. 02:23.670 --> 02:25.680 So let's go back to our insert edge loop tool. 02:26.100 --> 02:32.610 You can also I'm going to ask you to get off of it to just go to the select tool and go object mode 02:32.610 --> 02:33.900 and select the object. 02:33.930 --> 02:37.050 You can see the last selected tool down here. 02:37.350 --> 02:42.150 So if I also hold down or so while I'm still selected on it. 02:42.150 --> 02:43.380 So let's go to the move tool. 02:43.830 --> 02:44.850 So now it's a Deselected. 02:44.850 --> 02:51.990 I can go back to last one by selecting it here or I can hit G is the shortcut to get back to that, 02:51.990 --> 02:53.220 so it'll do the same thing. 02:53.220 --> 02:59.160 So let's go the move tool and I'm going to hit G on the keyboard and it'll go to the last used tool 02:59.640 --> 03:01.260 which is the insert Edgerly tool. 03:01.980 --> 03:06.930 So if we want to have this to be even on both sides, you can kind of try to eyeball it a little bit. 03:07.920 --> 03:09.930 And that might be good for our purposes. 03:09.930 --> 03:12.120 But let's you know, we're all about learning new stuff. 03:12.420 --> 03:14.010 So let's get more precise. 03:14.400 --> 03:17.130 Let's go to the tool settings here, which is next to this button. 03:17.490 --> 03:19.680 It'll pop up the tool settings panel. 03:20.130 --> 03:23.910 And depending on the tool that we have selected, it will give us different options. 03:24.210 --> 03:30.510 If I change the tool here, you can see this menu will change every time I have a new tool. 03:30.900 --> 03:34.570 So with the insert tool selected, I can get to there. 03:34.620 --> 03:36.010 There are energy. 03:36.090 --> 03:38.190 There's a bunch of different ways, which is kind of the theme of Maya. 03:38.520 --> 03:40.320 There's a lot of different ways to do the same thing. 03:40.320 --> 03:44.520 So it's just whatever you're more comfortable with or is quicker to work with for you. 03:44.970 --> 03:54.330 So now that we have this, let's go to the multiple edge loops option and I've set it to six and let's 03:54.330 --> 03:55.920 go to six. 03:56.400 --> 04:03.330 And if I click here and I drag, it won't matter because we're doing a equal distance from each other. 04:03.330 --> 04:10.560 So when I let go, you can see now we for sure have the same distance from the outside edge for these 04:10.560 --> 04:11.700 new edges that I made. 04:12.480 --> 04:14.760 But what if we don't want these interior edges? 04:15.180 --> 04:17.850 If I go to edge by right. 04:17.850 --> 04:18.870 Clicking and dragging. 04:18.870 --> 04:22.980 And keep in mind, you do need to have your cursor over the object that you want to change to. 04:23.220 --> 04:27.180 If I was to do this up here and go to Edge, it'll change to this object. 04:27.180 --> 04:27.720 And we don't want that. 04:27.720 --> 04:29.430 We want that object to stay in object mode. 04:29.880 --> 04:31.410 So let's click this and go to edge mode. 04:31.770 --> 04:35.370 And if I select this now, it's just going to select that one little section. 04:35.610 --> 04:38.370 But if I double click the edge, it'll select the whole edge loop. 04:38.370 --> 04:41.640 If it goes all the way around, if it doesn't go all the way around, it won't select the whole thing. 04:42.540 --> 04:49.470 But OK, so if I hit delete now because I don't want that now, you can see it still has a division 04:49.470 --> 04:50.760 here, right. 04:50.910 --> 04:52.650 There's got to be a vertices here. 04:52.650 --> 04:53.880 Look, there's a vertices there. 04:54.180 --> 04:55.530 We don't want that vertices. 04:56.400 --> 04:59.310 So I could go through and delete each of those vertices like this, but. 04:59.420 --> 05:04.220 On all the corners, and it's it's kind of stupid to have to do that, so it's undo this and get that 05:04.400 --> 05:07.520 loop back and I'll show you the right way to do it. 05:07.910 --> 05:15.890 So we're going to loop we will double click each edge and hold shift to select more than one edge and 05:15.890 --> 05:17.900 now a whole down shift and right. 05:17.900 --> 05:19.900 Click and go to delete edge. 05:20.240 --> 05:24.290 And this is how you delete edges for it from now and forevermore. 05:24.650 --> 05:28.010 OK, so use this because then we'll get the vertices as well. 05:28.040 --> 05:29.450 So now this is one solid edge. 05:29.450 --> 05:31.430 It's not still divided up in a weird way. 05:32.000 --> 05:32.380 Cool. 05:32.780 --> 05:40.370 So the next problem we need to deal with is the fact that these kind of faces here should be at the 05:40.370 --> 05:41.240 same level. 05:41.270 --> 05:41.660 Right? 05:41.870 --> 05:43.460 They should be down here somewhere. 05:43.850 --> 05:45.980 And not just those, but these here. 05:46.760 --> 05:47.130 Right. 05:47.150 --> 05:52.730 Because the we noticed and the reference this kind of back area looks like it's at the same level. 05:52.730 --> 05:54.110 It goes across this. 05:54.560 --> 05:59.390 And you can kind of see this little edge here or even this is a better view. 05:59.990 --> 06:01.430 Look at this kind of back edge. 06:01.430 --> 06:02.420 It's flat here. 06:02.420 --> 06:05.090 And then it looks like it lines up to this flat edge. 06:05.480 --> 06:09.440 So it's more like this is an extrusion than anything else. 06:09.440 --> 06:12.890 And, you know, there's a bunch of different ways you could you could go about doing this so we could 06:12.890 --> 06:18.050 actually just select these two and extrude those up, which is probably the easiest thing to do. 06:18.060 --> 06:19.030 So let's go out and do that. 06:19.370 --> 06:25.130 Conversely, you could extrude everything else down like I had selected earlier. 06:25.640 --> 06:33.440 And the other fun thing you know about my as I'm undoing its reloading in the last selection's so includes 06:33.440 --> 06:35.360 that and its undo history, which is kind of nice. 06:35.870 --> 06:43.160 So we could extrude these down or we could just extrude these two sections up. 06:43.550 --> 06:49.430 Let's go this method, because it's the less amount of things that we have to do which is always good 06:49.430 --> 06:49.910 in 3D. 06:50.480 --> 06:52.430 So let's extrude these up. 06:53.090 --> 06:58.370 So to extrude it's another tool like we did insert edge loop tool, but this one is in the edit mesh 06:58.550 --> 07:04.040 option here and I'm going to command shift it because I'm going to use this more than once probably. 07:04.460 --> 07:08.900 And to that point there's a ton of options in here to to do stuff. 07:09.200 --> 07:13.880 And this is why I like adding things to my own custom shelf, because I'm not going to use most of this 07:13.880 --> 07:14.450 stuff right. 07:14.720 --> 07:19.280 We're not even probably going to cover, you know, half of this stuff because you just don't use it 07:19.280 --> 07:19.730 that much. 07:20.210 --> 07:24.470 So I like to create my own shelf of the tools I use the most. 07:24.470 --> 07:26.870 I don't have to keep hunting through all these things up here. 07:27.380 --> 07:31.370 So I'm going to click the extrude tool and I'm also going to turn off this kind of tool settings here 07:31.370 --> 07:33.770 so we get more view area space here. 07:34.340 --> 07:40.220 And so now we have this little window and that gives us options for our extrusion. 07:40.580 --> 07:45.920 You can also see those options here and the inputs kind of similarly when we were, you know, changing 07:45.920 --> 07:51.290 the size of our original cube, we had that input down here, the poly cube input. 07:51.290 --> 07:54.290 And it's still there right now, five to two. 07:54.290 --> 07:57.170 Those are the things we changed in the previous lesson. 07:57.590 --> 07:58.940 And so it keeps all these inputs. 07:58.940 --> 08:05.540 You know, when we added those split edges, what they call split ring, I don't know why they change 08:05.540 --> 08:10.820 the the type of language they're using instead of saying insert loop, you know, for the tool. 08:10.820 --> 08:16.860 And now here they say they call a split ring so that this is the history of what we've done on the object. 08:16.860 --> 08:22.550 And you can see we added edges to this and then we deleted some and now we've extruded it. 08:22.550 --> 08:24.500 So it keeps the history of the object. 08:25.580 --> 08:30.170 There's also what we'll do at the end is delete all the history so it's a lot cleaner when we're done 08:30.170 --> 08:30.740 with the model. 08:31.250 --> 08:34.940 So let's you know, there's multiple ways to use this. 08:34.940 --> 08:36.290 We can just click and drag this. 08:36.650 --> 08:38.470 We could also you can see it changes. 08:38.480 --> 08:40.580 The locals translate also click and drag this. 08:41.180 --> 08:42.950 You can see it also changes here. 08:43.100 --> 08:50.000 We could also change the thickness is is pretty similar to the local Z translate that is does kind of 08:50.000 --> 08:50.600 the same thing. 08:51.380 --> 08:57.230 And if you're having trouble clicking and also, you know, remember, if you're doing something like 08:57.230 --> 08:59.060 this, you can click and drag on it here. 08:59.060 --> 09:01.010 You can also middle mouse drag it out here. 09:01.580 --> 09:06.410 And if it's going too fast, it's probably because of this little pie chart thing and you can change 09:06.410 --> 09:07.970 the speed at which it moves. 09:08.210 --> 09:09.800 So this is the slowest one. 09:09.800 --> 09:13.850 And if I needed to go faster, I can click that a few times and it goes up and we don't need it in this 09:13.850 --> 09:14.300 little window. 09:14.300 --> 09:16.190 It's actually also changing the one over here. 09:16.220 --> 09:22.130 You can see that if I change this one or if I change that one, it'll update the other so you can get 09:22.130 --> 09:23.540 it to it in two different places. 09:23.540 --> 09:26.930 And this is going to be super, super handy animating modeling. 09:27.470 --> 09:30.860 This is a very useful tool to get more precise. 09:31.250 --> 09:34.790 So let's, you know, make the thickness, something like that. 09:35.450 --> 09:40.160 Now, the problem we've encountered is we have this kind of stairstep look instead of a kind of straight 09:40.310 --> 09:42.500 edge, the kind of diagonal that we're going for. 09:42.920 --> 09:45.590 If we look at the reference, let's get a better picture. 09:46.160 --> 09:48.020 OK, now we have a better picture. 09:48.050 --> 09:50.480 We can see that this is a slow but not a stairstep. 09:50.810 --> 09:52.700 So how do we resolve that? 09:53.240 --> 09:56.210 Let's go about it and learn another new tool. 09:56.570 --> 09:59.180 So let's go to the face and let's just. 09:59.240 --> 10:05.090 Elite, these faces, and also be careful, you're not selecting faces through it. 10:05.110 --> 10:06.550 This is a can be a common thing. 10:06.550 --> 10:11.860 You can see if I drag my mouse over here, I'm actually selecting things on the bottom side. 10:12.370 --> 10:16.840 And to double check that, you can also just go into wireframe or let's have four on our keyboard and 10:16.840 --> 10:17.800 now we're in wireframe. 10:18.130 --> 10:22.780 So you can kind of see through the object and make sure you're not selecting something on the opposite 10:22.780 --> 10:23.170 side. 10:23.680 --> 10:30.160 So to delete that and let's go back into the shaded mode and hit five, you can also get to these modes 10:30.160 --> 10:32.770 up here by toggling through them. 10:33.340 --> 10:36.070 This is a texture Mudgeeraba texture so that one doesn't matter. 10:36.580 --> 10:39.220 So now we have these holes that we need to fill. 10:39.610 --> 10:45.490 We'll go to mesh tools and go to append, to polygon, to command shift. 10:45.820 --> 10:48.190 And that's my custom self selected. 10:48.400 --> 10:51.970 And now you can see there's kind of these highlighted borders. 10:52.570 --> 10:58.240 I don't know if that's super obvious in your view, but this is a thinner kind of green and this is 10:58.240 --> 10:58.840 a thicker green. 10:58.840 --> 11:05.920 So that's telling us where we can select and if we hold our tool in the viewport or, you know, if 11:05.920 --> 11:11.950 we look down here and the bottom left, it'll say a to polygon to activate the object, then click on 11:11.950 --> 11:13.960 the first border edge depend on. 11:14.410 --> 11:18.660 So let's select one of these edges and then just like the other. 11:18.670 --> 11:23.110 And now we have this kind of bridge that we made and let's hit enter and do the same for the other side. 11:23.110 --> 11:28.780 And remember, if we had G, we can pull up the last use tool and we can do the same thing and make 11:28.780 --> 11:33.190 a little bridge here and let's hit it again and do the same for these holes. 11:34.120 --> 11:39.130 And you can see that we just have to do that for two edges and it'll fill in the third edge. 11:42.000 --> 11:44.280 And it's a Jigen. 11:46.210 --> 11:58.090 Oops, I selected the wrong thing, so I just hit backspace and it again, oops, so it's trying to 11:58.630 --> 12:01.180 go to another who knows why it's trying to go out there. 12:01.550 --> 12:02.190 But I didn't pick up. 12:02.200 --> 12:02.890 I'm trying to hit that edge. 12:02.900 --> 12:07.720 So one thing I like to do is go to a view where there's kind of nothing behind this thing. 12:07.720 --> 12:08.010 Right. 12:08.680 --> 12:13.060 So that's pretty much the only thing I can select if you're having trouble with it and hit enter. 12:14.500 --> 12:23.150 And it looks like it didn't undo that that goofy thing that it did someone undo that hit G, select 12:23.200 --> 12:26.650 the object, select the edge and there we go. 12:27.250 --> 12:32.020 The other thing to keep in mind, let me just hit backspace to undo that. 12:33.730 --> 12:34.960 These purple things are arrows. 12:34.960 --> 12:36.730 So it's telling you the edge direction. 12:37.600 --> 12:43.150 So if I select an edge, you can see the arrows are pointing in a certain direction. 12:43.150 --> 12:44.370 They're going in this direction. 12:44.380 --> 12:45.010 They're huge. 12:45.010 --> 12:45.910 So it's kind of hard to see. 12:45.910 --> 12:50.020 But, you know, I think that's if I chose this one might still do it. 12:50.020 --> 12:54.580 But if you if you have a problem where you have more than two or three edges, you know, look at those 12:54.580 --> 12:58.630 purple arrows and see which direction it's going in if you're having trouble making that work. 12:59.080 --> 13:04.630 So now we have this type of slant to our object. 13:05.830 --> 13:06.610 How cool is that? 13:07.540 --> 13:09.180 And we have this back area. 13:09.190 --> 13:11.070 Is that the same level as those? 13:11.380 --> 13:17.110 So in this lesson, we learned the insert tool, the Apollo extrude tool, the append a polygon tool. 13:17.680 --> 13:19.000 We learned three new tools. 13:19.000 --> 13:20.110 We learned a lot. 13:20.380 --> 13:22.820 And those are tools you're going to use over and over again. 13:23.170 --> 13:25.810 So in the next lesson, we're going to continue to refine this. 13:25.810 --> 13:29.260 We're going to Bevell some edges and keep adding more detail. 13:29.350 --> 13:29.980 Thanks for watching.
