WEBVTT 00:00.060 --> 00:07.320 In this lesson, we're going to mirror the face over and connected back up and kind of make some fishing 00:07.320 --> 00:08.310 adjustments on it. 00:08.880 --> 00:13.220 So I'm going to hide the reference for now. 00:14.220 --> 00:22.830 And when I go into the front view, we need to line up this middle edge because through the modeling, 00:22.830 --> 00:25.980 it's gotten off of the middle. 00:26.250 --> 00:35.160 So I'm going to go to the edge mode, click the center one and get off of component scale holding down 00:35.160 --> 00:43.230 or go to the entire world and scale this down and looks like it's snap pretty well. 00:43.230 --> 00:50.790 But I'm going to hold on X and just pull it over a little bit to make sure it's right on zero here in 00:50.790 --> 00:51.270 the center. 00:52.080 --> 00:56.400 And then so I'm going to close this. 00:56.790 --> 01:02.550 I'm going to delete the history real quick just to make sure it's clean. 01:03.750 --> 01:05.220 I'm going to duplicate this. 01:06.660 --> 01:14.970 I'm going to freeze the transformation's and scale this negative one in X. 01:18.790 --> 01:23.170 And now we have a copy and a proper skull. 01:24.400 --> 01:26.500 The only problem is it's not connected to each other. 01:26.500 --> 01:35.110 So we need to first combine the meshes, mesh combine, and now we can delete the history here to get 01:35.110 --> 01:37.650 rid of those empty groups over here and outliner. 01:38.410 --> 01:45.490 And let's go to vertex mode and we're just going to select the vertices down the center. 01:48.030 --> 01:52.300 Four in the keyboard to make sure I'm not selecting anything on either side. 01:52.320 --> 01:56.530 It looks like I grabbed one here and one there. 01:59.410 --> 02:10.390 For the most part, everything is together, so now we just need to go to edit mesh merge and the distance 02:10.600 --> 02:13.420 threshold shouldn't really matter because they should be right on top of each other. 02:13.790 --> 02:19.840 If we increase, that'll start to merge neighboring vertices that we don't want to be merged together. 02:20.410 --> 02:28.540 So when it fire on the keyboard, pull the shading and I'm just going to run through another relax tool 02:28.660 --> 02:34.780 sculpting tool now that these center ones are you can see where when you use the relax tool and it's 02:34.780 --> 02:39.630 on an edge like that's terminating it that way it won't relax. 02:40.090 --> 02:41.670 So I don't know. 02:41.730 --> 02:44.500 I'm saying relax that way or relax. 02:46.240 --> 02:50.610 So now we can get these center pieces to relax, relax. 02:50.620 --> 02:51.640 I don't know why I was saying that. 02:51.640 --> 02:52.180 That was weird. 02:53.000 --> 02:54.940 Um, okay. 02:55.900 --> 03:00.300 I think I turned on a steady stroke where I just turn on. 03:01.720 --> 03:02.080 Yeah. 03:02.920 --> 03:08.890 Sometimes when I'm right clicking you can accidentally go into those menus and it can be OK. 03:08.890 --> 03:10.210 Well, let me back up. 03:10.210 --> 03:12.040 I need to turn on symmetry here. 03:12.400 --> 03:17.080 As soon as we mirror something, we definitely want to make sure that we're measuring stuff, all the 03:17.080 --> 03:17.890 tools that we're using. 03:17.890 --> 03:24.690 So under the tool settings, we should go to a symmetry and turn on World X. 03:24.700 --> 03:28.840 We can see that this is the X axis and we hover over this thing. 03:29.320 --> 03:35.500 Yeah, we should get the dot on either side here so we can see where it's doing in the cemetery. 03:36.220 --> 03:43.750 So we get these centerpieces and everything we do on the mesh now should be in cemetery mode. 03:44.290 --> 03:49.960 Otherwise we'll have to mirror one side over again with the other. 03:50.560 --> 03:59.470 So I'm just going through and hitting these mainly these center points that we couldn't get to earlier 03:59.470 --> 04:01.030 when it was not mirrored. 04:02.560 --> 04:07.150 And I'm just going to gosh, I'm going to reduce the brush size here. 04:07.280 --> 04:08.350 I'm going in the center. 04:11.890 --> 04:14.000 Cool, it's looking a lot better. 04:14.710 --> 04:16.150 This is such an easy way. 04:16.180 --> 04:18.400 I don't know what we did before this. 04:18.850 --> 04:25.780 You had to just individually pull points around an eyeball trying to even stuff out like this. 04:26.230 --> 04:32.080 So I'm going to grab the kind of generic brush that it's pulling the points out. 04:32.650 --> 04:37.200 And that works just as well as the grab brush, just kind of in a different way. 04:37.630 --> 04:41.380 So I'm pulling things out that I'm smoothing them and. 04:45.200 --> 04:50.470 Just kind of going through and seeing where I'm when I'm rotating, I'm looking at the silhouette, 04:50.490 --> 04:55.550 see how there's this little divot here, I'm going to go find that and brush that out. 04:57.660 --> 05:05.370 Maybe past where it should be so that then I can smooth it like that, it looks like it's moving a little 05:05.370 --> 05:06.150 too strong. 05:08.830 --> 05:15.550 But it's pretty, um, all in all, the models pretty close to what I had in mind. 05:16.590 --> 05:22.600 There's some goofy little things going on with the shape in general. 05:22.600 --> 05:27.100 But I mean, for the most part, I mean, just relax this area. 05:27.110 --> 05:31.180 There's some there's seems like there's too much density here. 05:38.980 --> 05:45.820 Trying to bring all that dense mesh from the top of skull down around to the side, you can see here 05:45.820 --> 05:51.910 where we connected when we were adding those those bridge loops. 05:54.050 --> 06:01.460 And I think I'm going to adjust I shape a little bit. 06:03.610 --> 06:15.040 Let me turn on B for self selection and just it's once you get to this stage, it really is. 06:17.400 --> 06:21.870 Kind of very, very small tweaks at this stage, um. 06:25.900 --> 06:35.050 I'm not making huge adjustments, but I wanted to get more of an asymmetrical I, I don't want it to 06:35.050 --> 06:39.610 be super, super symmetrical on the ice shapes. 06:40.900 --> 06:50.310 So I'm just going to I'm holding down shift to smooth some of this sort of rounds it out again and I'll 06:50.330 --> 06:51.040 control. 06:51.040 --> 06:52.000 Just push that in. 06:54.680 --> 07:01.070 For the most part, this is kind of what I had in mind, um, some of this stuff isn't working, I think. 07:01.730 --> 07:06.970 So it's going to avert a see and really get specific with what we're doing. 07:09.110 --> 07:17.420 So this looks like a pretty hard edge here, and I think we were to use the smooth sculpt tool, it's 07:17.420 --> 07:23.210 going to collapse at too much because the, uh, there's not enough geometry there. 07:23.210 --> 07:26.660 So I'm going to turn off B and really just pull individual points around. 07:27.500 --> 07:33.480 And this is modeling and 3D for you if you've never done it. 07:33.500 --> 07:39.690 This is what it's about, getting very specific with individual points. 07:39.710 --> 07:39.950 Yeah. 07:39.950 --> 07:43.550 It's like there's not a roundness here like this. 07:44.690 --> 07:46.670 Like the front is too flat. 07:48.650 --> 07:51.600 I mean, um. 07:54.410 --> 08:03.540 You know, I feel like the same is true here, like that's the smallest thing, but there needs to be 08:03.810 --> 08:10.620 just the suggestion of a without looking like a point, but I'm going to continue to tweak some of those 08:10.620 --> 08:17.220 things and maybe experiment like once you get to this stage and I'm going to go out and save let's get 08:17.220 --> 08:17.750 to this stage. 08:17.760 --> 08:20.030 It's kind of fun to try different things, right? 08:20.040 --> 08:27.510 Like what if we wanted to put horns on them like it's a little devil skull or something or, uh, you 08:27.510 --> 08:30.330 know, exaggerate the cheekbones a lot more. 08:30.730 --> 08:35.160 You know, this is a time to kind of experiment and see how far you can push things. 08:36.480 --> 08:37.960 That's actually kind of looks cool. 08:38.790 --> 08:45.300 So, yeah, like we you know, we were following the reference pretty close and now, you know, feel 08:45.300 --> 08:50.400 free to kind of get creative and see what what you come up with. 08:50.730 --> 08:52.020 That's the end of modeling the skull. 08:52.020 --> 08:52.590 For the most part. 08:52.590 --> 08:56.310 I'm going to kind of continue to refine this on my own as I encourage you to do as well. 08:57.000 --> 09:04.410 But in the next lessons, we will continue with the rest of the body and we will learn maybe a couple 09:04.410 --> 09:09.690 of new tricks and also how to mirror the body. 09:10.020 --> 09:13.980 The ribs are going to be interesting when I go over some deformities, which we haven't talked about 09:13.980 --> 09:14.310 yet. 09:15.000 --> 09:16.200 So look out for that. 09:16.200 --> 09:23.040 And hope you enjoyed this kind of a lesson, getting kind of a cool skull out of out of this. 09:23.880 --> 09:24.900 I think it looks pretty cool. 09:25.290 --> 09:25.710 All right. 09:25.710 --> 09:26.980 I'll see you guys next lessons. 09:27.030 --> 09:27.450 Thanks. 09:28.530 --> 09:31.980 One one more thing real quick I want to touch on before we close out. 09:31.980 --> 09:39.510 This lesson is so say in this example of like me pulling out the cheekbones, if we had three on the 09:39.510 --> 09:45.180 keyboard to do that kind of auto smoothing thing, we can see that we lose a lot of that shape and the 09:45.180 --> 09:48.840 sharpness that kind of make the cheekbones look cool, I think. 09:50.250 --> 09:54.660 And I think the contrast is kind of cool, like everything else is smooth and the cheekbones are kind 09:54.660 --> 09:56.460 of more jagged. 09:57.330 --> 10:03.690 So to maintain this shape, we need to add more geometry in here. 10:04.080 --> 10:05.850 And there's a couple of different ways we could do that. 10:05.850 --> 10:13.050 One of the ways would be to select faces here and make sure we have symmetry on we can select faces 10:13.050 --> 10:17.880 here and kind of choose the ones that are facing out like that. 10:18.870 --> 10:28.560 And let me just say real quick before I do a bunch of crazy stuff, we can extrude here and turn on 10:28.560 --> 10:34.260 key pieces together and just do like a small adjustment here. 10:34.950 --> 10:38.250 We'll just bring in the offset just a little bit. 10:39.120 --> 10:44.880 So now when we hit three, these are much stronger edges, right? 10:45.480 --> 10:48.540 Like it's not collapsing and rounding off as much as it was. 10:49.080 --> 10:51.060 Now you can see this is kind of harder edge. 10:51.630 --> 10:52.950 So just keep that in mind. 10:52.950 --> 10:58.770 Like the closer edges are together when they're rounded out, even though these are kind of just in 10:58.770 --> 11:02.640 line, that these are kind of supports. 11:02.640 --> 11:07.110 Basically, when it starts to smooth, there's more geometry here it has to deal with. 11:07.110 --> 11:12.810 So it creates a harder edge when it's when we do the Otto Smooth kind of a thing. 11:13.200 --> 11:19.320 So you can go through this and do that on, you know, different faces like here. 11:19.860 --> 11:22.110 We can try to do that again. 11:23.340 --> 11:30.780 And he faces together on Offset and bring it in and have three. 11:31.800 --> 11:38.010 And it just makes everything a little sharper right around here, which I think makes sense for the 11:38.010 --> 11:38.700 cheekbones. 11:38.700 --> 11:42.090 But I just want to touch on that real quick before we close this lesson out.
