1
00:00:00,456 --> 00:00:03,976
>> In this video, I'm going to go
over how to make a mug in Blender.

2
00:00:04,856 --> 00:00:06,576
So the first thing I'm going
to do is, I'm going to get rid

3
00:00:06,576 --> 00:00:08,886
of all these objects in the general scene.

4
00:00:09,316 --> 00:00:15,436
And I'm going to add a mesh, and
I'm going to choose a cylinder.

5
00:00:16,336 --> 00:00:21,116
And so when I zoom into the cylinder,
it looks like it's pretty round.

6
00:00:21,186 --> 00:00:24,156
It would make a nice cup sort of shape.

7
00:00:24,886 --> 00:00:26,976
I'm going to scale it up a bit.

8
00:00:27,406 --> 00:00:28,746
So it's a little taller.

9
00:00:29,006 --> 00:00:34,596
And then I'm going to turn
on Wireframe unshaded.

10
00:00:34,596 --> 00:00:38,846
So I'm going to go up here to my Settings,
under Viewport Overlays, and I'm going to turn

11
00:00:38,846 --> 00:00:41,636
on Wireframe so I can see the wireframe easily.

12
00:00:42,326 --> 00:00:47,916
And then I'm going to go into
Edit mode by hitting Tab.

13
00:00:48,446 --> 00:00:51,576
And I'm' going to start making some loop cuts.

14
00:00:51,576 --> 00:01:00,586
So I'm going to go to Loop cut, and I'm
going to make 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 cuts.

15
00:01:01,286 --> 00:01:05,146
And so now they're all sort of
like these evenly spaced cuts.

16
00:01:05,146 --> 00:01:06,746
That's pretty good.

17
00:01:07,746 --> 00:01:12,846
And the next thing I'm going to do is go into
Face mode, and I'm going to select the face

18
00:01:12,906 --> 00:01:19,346
at the very top, and the way I
go to Face mode is by hitting Q

19
00:01:19,546 --> 00:01:21,916
to go back into my Selection mode.

20
00:01:22,106 --> 00:01:23,366
Select the very top face.

21
00:01:23,686 --> 00:01:29,336
Hit X, and choose Faces to delete the face.

22
00:01:30,156 --> 00:01:34,396
Now I'm going to go into X-ray mode
and I'm going to select all the faces.

23
00:01:34,936 --> 00:01:40,976
And I'm going to go to Extrude
faces along normals.

24
00:01:41,396 --> 00:01:45,026
So I'll extrude the faces along the normals,
and you can see what's happening here.

25
00:01:45,116 --> 00:01:48,356
They're -- you know, it's kind of
pulling them out along the normal.

26
00:01:49,116 --> 00:01:51,866
And I'll make a nice, thick cup.

27
00:01:52,676 --> 00:01:53,836
That's pretty thick.

28
00:01:54,576 --> 00:02:00,206
And so now I've got the cup part.

29
00:02:00,316 --> 00:02:01,576
That looks pretty good.

30
00:02:02,066 --> 00:02:04,576
And then I'm going to select
the face in the middle.

31
00:02:04,576 --> 00:02:07,646
Grab it. And I'm just going to
pull it up just a little bit just

32
00:02:07,686 --> 00:02:14,646
so that there's some space been
this base and the bottom of the cup.

33
00:02:15,706 --> 00:02:26,136
I'm going to now select the bottom of the
cup, and I'm going to go to Extrude faces.

34
00:02:27,046 --> 00:02:34,346
And I'm going to set the extrusion down
here in the lower left-hand corner to zero.

35
00:02:35,056 --> 00:02:39,956
So it's like a straight -- you know, like
it's basically where the original face is.

36
00:02:40,136 --> 00:02:42,596
And then I'm going to go into Scale mode.

37
00:02:42,856 --> 00:02:44,916
I'm going to just scale it in a bit.

38
00:02:45,096 --> 00:02:50,016
And then I'm going to right-click and
go to Extrude faces along normals.

39
00:02:50,186 --> 00:02:52,166
And I'm going to pull that up.

40
00:02:52,856 --> 00:02:59,446
And Extrude face along normals basically is
whichever way the face or faces were facing,

41
00:02:59,776 --> 00:03:02,976
that's the direction the extrusion will happen.

42
00:03:04,006 --> 00:03:07,376
So I extrude this along the normals.

43
00:03:07,446 --> 00:03:09,916
Pull it up a little bit.

44
00:03:10,416 --> 00:03:13,036
So this is looking pretty good so far.

45
00:03:13,216 --> 00:03:14,206
So far, so good.

46
00:03:15,186 --> 00:03:21,966
And now the next thing I'm going
to do is, I need to add the handle.

47
00:03:22,536 --> 00:03:31,836
So in order to add the handle, I'm going to
go into Edit mode, and I'm going to hit 3,

48
00:03:32,246 --> 00:03:38,806
and I'm going to select two faces
here and two faces here at the bottom.

49
00:03:39,216 --> 00:03:42,716
I'm going to right-click and extrude faces.

50
00:03:43,296 --> 00:03:45,646
And just pull those out like this.

51
00:03:45,716 --> 00:03:54,956
And then I'm going to go into Loop cut,
and I'm going to make a couple loop cuts.

52
00:03:56,436 --> 00:04:01,166
And then I'm going to go
back into Face selection mode

53
00:04:01,166 --> 00:04:07,496
by hitting Q. And select these faces.

54
00:04:09,146 --> 00:04:12,736
And then I'm going to extrude those faces.

55
00:04:13,586 --> 00:04:17,936
And I'm going to use Scale, since
they're both going in the same direction,

56
00:04:18,776 --> 00:04:25,976
instead I'll just use Scale and
scale them both close together.

57
00:04:26,456 --> 00:04:30,536
And then I'm going to zoom in
and delete these faces here.

58
00:04:30,536 --> 00:04:33,746
So I'm going to hit X and Select faces.

59
00:04:34,116 --> 00:04:36,486
So now those faces are essentially deleted.

60
00:04:37,126 --> 00:04:44,746
And I am going to go into Vertex mode,
grab these vertices, scale them even closer

61
00:04:44,746 --> 00:04:48,746
to one another, so they're like
practically right on top of one another.

62
00:04:49,256 --> 00:04:54,596
And then I'm going to merge
these vertices together.

63
00:04:55,126 --> 00:05:02,256
So I'm going to do that by right-clicking
and going to Merge vertices by distance.

64
00:05:02,436 --> 00:05:04,786
So when I use Merge vertices by distance

65
00:05:04,786 --> 00:05:08,746
in the lower left-hand corner,
there's a Merge distance number.

66
00:05:09,036 --> 00:05:13,956
And as I crank this up --
boop -- that's what happens.

67
00:05:14,006 --> 00:05:19,066
It basically -- once you get to a high
enough number, it says any vertices that are

68
00:05:19,066 --> 00:05:25,666
within this number will -- this
distance -- will merge together.

69
00:05:26,176 --> 00:05:32,426
So because all of the vertices that I
wanted merging together were so close

70
00:05:32,426 --> 00:05:34,976
to one another, it was a relatively low number.

71
00:05:35,316 --> 00:05:40,796
If I kept cranking the number up higher, you see
they'll all, like, collapse in on one another.

72
00:05:41,116 --> 00:05:51,736
So we want to just merge by a distance
that only merges these vertices here.

73
00:05:51,736 --> 00:05:56,036
And if you're ever in doubt of,
like, did those vertices merge,

74
00:05:56,036 --> 00:05:56,976
because sometimes it's hard to know.

75
00:05:57,056 --> 00:06:05,116
You can double-check by going up here to your
Viewport overlays, and select Statistics.

76
00:06:05,116 --> 00:06:09,866
And now you can see statistics of
how many vertices you have selected.

77
00:06:10,256 --> 00:06:14,286
So under vertices, you can see
I have 12 vertices selected.

78
00:06:14,736 --> 00:06:20,966
And so now, when I go to merge vertices
by distance, they've merged together,

79
00:06:20,966 --> 00:06:26,416
and now I have six vertices, which means
that every two vertices that I wanted

80
00:06:26,416 --> 00:06:29,706
to have merge together have successfully merged.

81
00:06:31,416 --> 00:06:38,026
Okay. So now we're getting closer
to finishing off this cup already.

82
00:06:38,396 --> 00:06:42,816
So I'm just going to grab
some of these vertices here.

83
00:06:42,816 --> 00:06:47,976
I'm going to grab some vertices here,
and maybe even rotate those a bit.

84
00:06:53,736 --> 00:06:57,986
And grab these vertices here.

85
00:06:58,136 --> 00:06:59,296
Grab those.

86
00:07:00,066 --> 00:07:03,676
Move them a bit.

87
00:07:03,996 --> 00:07:10,866
And again, I'm going to rotate
these a little bit.

88
00:07:18,046 --> 00:07:21,286
And maybe move them up some.

89
00:07:22,046 --> 00:07:23,976
And then I'm going to pull these ups.

90
00:07:28,106 --> 00:07:30,286
And move these around a bit.

91
00:07:30,286 --> 00:07:33,786
So lookin pretty good so far.

92
00:07:34,536 --> 00:07:41,926
And so right now -- let's see what we've got.

93
00:07:42,086 --> 00:07:51,766
So I'm going to go out of the Wireframe mode
so I can just see what's happening here.

94
00:07:52,046 --> 00:07:52,716
And [inaudible].

95
00:07:53,716 --> 00:08:00,696
And from here, I'm going to grab these vertices.

96
00:08:01,376 --> 00:08:05,976
So I'm going to go back into this mode here.

97
00:08:06,066 --> 00:08:10,156
I'm going to grab all of
these vertices in X-ray mode.

98
00:08:10,236 --> 00:08:17,866
And I'm going to scale them in a bit, like that.

99
00:08:18,116 --> 00:08:21,446
And I think they also need to be moved in some.

100
00:08:22,126 --> 00:08:25,926
And maybe this one needs
to be out a little more.

101
00:08:27,046 --> 00:08:28,976
Maybe some of these could be out a little more.

102
00:08:34,176 --> 00:08:37,956
And so now this is looking pretty good.

103
00:08:37,956 --> 00:08:41,766
So I'm going to go out of Edit mode, and yes.

104
00:08:41,876 --> 00:08:42,956
This looks like a mug.

105
00:08:43,226 --> 00:08:43,976
Looks pretty good.

106
00:08:44,446 --> 00:08:49,446
And so the next step is, you know,
right now it looks pretty blocky.

107
00:08:49,806 --> 00:08:51,976
So I'm going to smooth it by selecting it.

108
00:08:52,046 --> 00:08:56,886
And I'm going to go over here to the
right-hand side, and I'm going to go

109
00:08:56,886 --> 00:08:59,956
to the Modifier properties button here.

110
00:09:00,806 --> 00:09:03,276
And I'm going to add a modifier.

111
00:09:03,726 --> 00:09:06,766
So there's all kind of different
modifiers that you can add.

112
00:09:07,216 --> 00:09:13,446
And for the time being, we're going to
just go straight to Multiresolution.

113
00:09:13,806 --> 00:09:21,976
And what multiresolution does is, it allows
you to subdivide and smooth your objet.

114
00:09:22,466 --> 00:09:24,996
So I subdivided it once.

115
00:09:25,126 --> 00:09:32,166
I think subdividing it twice is
probably the optimal resolution.

116
00:09:32,576 --> 00:09:34,976
Maybe don't even need it quite this smooth.

117
00:09:35,396 --> 00:09:40,316
Right now, we can see all the faces,
you know, all the individual faces.

118
00:09:40,316 --> 00:09:42,836
And it doesn't look so great right now.

119
00:09:43,016 --> 00:09:49,596
But you can actually change that by
going to Object, and Shade Smooth --

120
00:09:50,516 --> 00:09:53,676
or with the object selected, Shade Smooth.

121
00:09:54,136 --> 00:09:58,726
And then it makes it so that you
don't see all of the individual faces.

122
00:09:59,086 --> 00:10:03,956
It kind of smooths all the edges
out, and this is what you get.

123
00:10:04,336 --> 00:10:06,066
So that looks pretty good.

124
00:10:06,316 --> 00:10:13,676
And just a quick and easy way to use
extrusions, and using the multires tool.
