0:00:00.456,0:00:03.976
>> In this video, I'm going to go[br]over how to make a mug in Blender.

0:00:04.856,0:00:06.576
So the first thing I'm going[br]to do is, I'm going to get rid

0:00:06.576,0:00:08.886
of all these objects in the general scene.

0:00:09.316,0:00:15.436
And I'm going to add a mesh, and[br]I'm going to choose a cylinder.

0:00:16.336,0:00:21.116
And so when I zoom into the cylinder,[br]it looks like it's pretty round.

0:00:21.186,0:00:24.156
It would make a nice cup sort of shape.

0:00:24.886,0:00:26.976
I'm going to scale it up a bit.

0:00:27.406,0:00:28.746
So it's a little taller.

0:00:29.006,0:00:34.596
And then I'm going to turn[br]on Wireframe unshaded.

0:00:34.596,0:00:38.846
So I'm going to go up here to my Settings,[br]under Viewport Overlays, and I'm going to turn

0:00:38.846,0:00:41.636
on Wireframe so I can see the wireframe easily.

0:00:42.326,0:00:47.916
And then I'm going to go into[br]Edit mode by hitting Tab.

0:00:48.446,0:00:51.576
And I'm' going to start making some loop cuts.

0:00:51.576,0:01:00.586
So I'm going to go to Loop cut, and I'm[br]going to make 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 cuts.

0:01:01.286,0:01:05.146
And so now they're all sort of[br]like these evenly spaced cuts.

0:01:05.146,0:01:06.746
That's pretty good.

0:01:07.746,0:01:12.846
And the next thing I'm going to do is go into[br]Face mode, and I'm going to select the face

0:01:12.906,0:01:19.346
at the very top, and the way I[br]go to Face mode is by hitting Q

0:01:19.546,0:01:21.916
to go back into my Selection mode.

0:01:22.106,0:01:23.366
Select the very top face.

0:01:23.686,0:01:29.336
Hit X, and choose Faces to delete the face.

0:01:30.156,0:01:34.396
Now I'm going to go into X-ray mode[br]and I'm going to select all the faces.

0:01:34.936,0:01:40.976
And I'm going to go to Extrude[br]faces along normals.

0:01:41.396,0:01:45.026
So I'll extrude the faces along the normals,[br]and you can see what's happening here.

0:01:45.116,0:01:48.356
They're -- you know, it's kind of[br]pulling them out along the normal.

0:01:49.116,0:01:51.866
And I'll make a nice, thick cup.

0:01:52.676,0:01:53.836
That's pretty thick.

0:01:54.576,0:02:00.206
And so now I've got the cup part.

0:02:00.316,0:02:01.576
That looks pretty good.

0:02:02.066,0:02:04.576
And then I'm going to select[br]the face in the middle.

0:02:04.576,0:02:07.646
Grab it. And I'm just going to[br]pull it up just a little bit just

0:02:07.686,0:02:14.646
so that there's some space been[br]this base and the bottom of the cup.

0:02:15.706,0:02:26.136
I'm going to now select the bottom of the[br]cup, and I'm going to go to Extrude faces.

0:02:27.046,0:02:34.346
And I'm going to set the extrusion down[br]here in the lower left-hand corner to zero.

0:02:35.056,0:02:39.956
So it's like a straight -- you know, like[br]it's basically where the original face is.

0:02:40.136,0:02:42.596
And then I'm going to go into Scale mode.

0:02:42.856,0:02:44.916
I'm going to just scale it in a bit.

0:02:45.096,0:02:50.016
And then I'm going to right-click and[br]go to Extrude faces along normals.

0:02:50.186,0:02:52.166
And I'm going to pull that up.

0:02:52.856,0:02:59.446
And Extrude face along normals basically is[br]whichever way the face or faces were facing,

0:02:59.776,0:03:02.976
that's the direction the extrusion will happen.

0:03:04.006,0:03:07.376
So I extrude this along the normals.

0:03:07.446,0:03:09.916
Pull it up a little bit.

0:03:10.416,0:03:13.036
So this is looking pretty good so far.

0:03:13.216,0:03:14.206
So far, so good.

0:03:15.186,0:03:21.966
And now the next thing I'm going[br]to do is, I need to add the handle.

0:03:22.536,0:03:31.836
So in order to add the handle, I'm going to[br]go into Edit mode, and I'm going to hit 3,

0:03:32.246,0:03:38.806
and I'm going to select two faces[br]here and two faces here at the bottom.

0:03:39.216,0:03:42.716
I'm going to right-click and extrude faces.

0:03:43.296,0:03:45.646
And just pull those out like this.

0:03:45.716,0:03:54.956
And then I'm going to go into Loop cut,[br]and I'm going to make a couple loop cuts.

0:03:56.436,0:04:01.166
And then I'm going to go[br]back into Face selection mode

0:04:01.166,0:04:07.496
by hitting Q. And select these faces.

0:04:09.146,0:04:12.736
And then I'm going to extrude those faces.

0:04:13.586,0:04:17.936
And I'm going to use Scale, since[br]they're both going in the same direction,

0:04:18.776,0:04:25.976
instead I'll just use Scale and[br]scale them both close together.

0:04:26.456,0:04:30.536
And then I'm going to zoom in[br]and delete these faces here.

0:04:30.536,0:04:33.746
So I'm going to hit X and Select faces.

0:04:34.116,0:04:36.486
So now those faces are essentially deleted.

0:04:37.126,0:04:44.746
And I am going to go into Vertex mode,[br]grab these vertices, scale them even closer

0:04:44.746,0:04:48.746
to one another, so they're like[br]practically right on top of one another.

0:04:49.256,0:04:54.596
And then I'm going to merge[br]these vertices together.

0:04:55.126,0:05:02.256
So I'm going to do that by right-clicking[br]and going to Merge vertices by distance.

0:05:02.436,0:05:04.786
So when I use Merge vertices by distance

0:05:04.786,0:05:08.746
in the lower left-hand corner,[br]there's a Merge distance number.

0:05:09.036,0:05:13.956
And as I crank this up --[br]boop -- that's what happens.

0:05:14.006,0:05:19.066
It basically -- once you get to a high[br]enough number, it says any vertices that are

0:05:19.066,0:05:25.666
within this number will -- this[br]distance -- will merge together.

0:05:26.176,0:05:32.426
So because all of the vertices that I[br]wanted merging together were so close

0:05:32.426,0:05:34.976
to one another, it was a relatively low number.

0:05:35.316,0:05:40.796
If I kept cranking the number up higher, you see[br]they'll all, like, collapse in on one another.

0:05:41.116,0:05:51.736
So we want to just merge by a distance[br]that only merges these vertices here.

0:05:51.736,0:05:56.036
And if you're ever in doubt of,[br]like, did those vertices merge,

0:05:56.036,0:05:56.976
because sometimes it's hard to know.

0:05:57.056,0:06:05.116
You can double-check by going up here to your[br]Viewport overlays, and select Statistics.

0:06:05.116,0:06:09.866
And now you can see statistics of[br]how many vertices you have selected.

0:06:10.256,0:06:14.286
So under vertices, you can see[br]I have 12 vertices selected.

0:06:14.736,0:06:20.966
And so now, when I go to merge vertices[br]by distance, they've merged together,

0:06:20.966,0:06:26.416
and now I have six vertices, which means[br]that every two vertices that I wanted

0:06:26.416,0:06:29.706
to have merge together have successfully merged.

0:06:31.416,0:06:38.026
Okay. So now we're getting closer[br]to finishing off this cup already.

0:06:38.396,0:06:42.816
So I'm just going to grab[br]some of these vertices here.

0:06:42.816,0:06:47.976
I'm going to grab some vertices here,[br]and maybe even rotate those a bit.

0:06:53.736,0:06:57.986
And grab these vertices here.

0:06:58.136,0:06:59.296
Grab those.

0:07:00.066,0:07:03.676
Move them a bit.

0:07:03.996,0:07:10.866
And again, I'm going to rotate[br]these a little bit.

0:07:18.046,0:07:21.286
And maybe move them up some.

0:07:22.046,0:07:23.976
And then I'm going to pull these ups.

0:07:28.106,0:07:30.286
And move these around a bit.

0:07:30.286,0:07:33.786
So lookin pretty good so far.

0:07:34.536,0:07:41.926
And so right now -- let's see what we've got.

0:07:42.086,0:07:51.766
So I'm going to go out of the Wireframe mode[br]so I can just see what's happening here.

0:07:52.046,0:07:52.716
And [inaudible].

0:07:53.716,0:08:00.696
And from here, I'm going to grab these vertices.

0:08:01.376,0:08:05.976
So I'm going to go back into this mode here.

0:08:06.066,0:08:10.156
I'm going to grab all of[br]these vertices in X-ray mode.

0:08:10.236,0:08:17.866
And I'm going to scale them in a bit, like that.

0:08:18.116,0:08:21.446
And I think they also need to be moved in some.

0:08:22.126,0:08:25.926
And maybe this one needs[br]to be out a little more.

0:08:27.046,0:08:28.976
Maybe some of these could be out a little more.

0:08:34.176,0:08:37.956
And so now this is looking pretty good.

0:08:37.956,0:08:41.766
So I'm going to go out of Edit mode, and yes.

0:08:41.876,0:08:42.956
This looks like a mug.

0:08:43.226,0:08:43.976
Looks pretty good.

0:08:44.446,0:08:49.446
And so the next step is, you know,[br]right now it looks pretty blocky.

0:08:49.806,0:08:51.976
So I'm going to smooth it by selecting it.

0:08:52.046,0:08:56.886
And I'm going to go over here to the[br]right-hand side, and I'm going to go

0:08:56.886,0:08:59.956
to the Modifier properties button here.

0:09:00.806,0:09:03.276
And I'm going to add a modifier.

0:09:03.726,0:09:06.766
So there's all kind of different[br]modifiers that you can add.

0:09:07.216,0:09:13.446
And for the time being, we're going to[br]just go straight to Multiresolution.

0:09:13.806,0:09:21.976
And what multiresolution does is, it allows[br]you to subdivide and smooth your objet.

0:09:22.466,0:09:24.996
So I subdivided it once.

0:09:25.126,0:09:32.166
I think subdividing it twice is[br]probably the optimal resolution.

0:09:32.576,0:09:34.976
Maybe don't even need it quite this smooth.

0:09:35.396,0:09:40.316
Right now, we can see all the faces,[br]you know, all the individual faces.

0:09:40.316,0:09:42.836
And it doesn't look so great right now.

0:09:43.016,0:09:49.596
But you can actually change that by[br]going to Object, and Shade Smooth --

0:09:50.516,0:09:53.676
or with the object selected, Shade Smooth.

0:09:54.136,0:09:58.726
And then it makes it so that you[br]don't see all of the individual faces.

0:09:59.086,0:10:03.956
It kind of smooths all the edges[br]out, and this is what you get.

0:10:04.336,0:10:06.066
So that looks pretty good.

0:10:06.316,0:10:13.676
And just a quick and easy way to use[br]extrusions, and using the multires tool.
