0:00:00.186,0:00:04.226
>> So perhaps you've always wanted to learn[br]how to make really cool stuff in 3D software.

0:00:04.226,0:00:06.996
You might not have done it, you might[br]have dabbled in it a little bit.

0:00:06.996,0:00:11.666
In this tutorial, what I'm going to be doing[br]is trying to take one video and introduce a lot

0:00:11.666,0:00:14.456
of the fundamental things, the things[br]you really need to get started.

0:00:14.456,0:00:17.826
And I'm going to show you how to do[br]it in a free software called Blender

0:00:17.826,0:00:21.766
that you can very easily download without an[br]account or a password or anything like that.

0:00:21.766,0:00:24.006
So you can see here, this is the final result.

0:00:24.006,0:00:27.776
I'm going to show you, first of all, the[br]software itself, just the very basics,

0:00:27.776,0:00:30.016
not covering all the thousands[br]of different things.

0:00:30.016,0:00:34.156
And then I'm going to take you step[br]by step after that through the making

0:00:34.156,0:00:37.606
of this character here, and how to[br]render it out as a final result.

0:00:37.606,0:00:41.826
And you can use this same low poly modeling[br]technique here, which is really simple

0:00:41.826,0:00:44.546
and beginner friendly to[br]make all sorts of things.

0:00:44.546,0:00:49.636
So hopefully this video grabs your interest[br]if you want to learn as an absolute beginner.

0:00:49.636,0:00:53.566
If you already know something about Blender,[br]maybe this is just a little bit too basic

0:00:53.566,0:00:56.636
and repetitive, but this is[br]definitely more for absolute beginners,

0:00:56.636,0:00:58.476
people who really don't know anything

0:00:58.586,0:01:01.436
and they just want a simple video[br]that's going to make it make sense.

0:01:01.436,0:01:04.816
And you can also, after an hour[br]or so, walk away with something

0:01:04.936,0:01:07.776
that you can feel really[br]good about, a final result.

0:01:07.776,0:01:11.806
And from there you can choose if you want[br]to go on and learn more about the discipline

0:01:11.806,0:01:14.376
of 3D modeling, maybe even animation later on.

0:01:14.376,0:01:17.096
So let's get into the video[br]and I hope you enjoy it.

0:01:17.096,0:01:21.796
I will be adding some timestamps so it can make[br]it easier for you guys, the different chapters,

0:01:22.096,0:01:24.646
and you can bounce back and[br]forth if you get stuck.

0:01:24.796,0:01:25.516
Let's hop in.

0:01:25.516,0:01:27.946
Getting your hands on Blender is quite simple.

0:01:27.946,0:01:29.126
You go to your internet browser.

0:01:29.126,0:01:32.636
You can type in blender.org, open[br]up the site, and you're going to go

0:01:32.636,0:01:34.136
to the tab here called downloads.

0:01:34.536,0:01:36.786
And what you can do is just[br]click on this blue button here.

0:01:36.786,0:01:40.286
That's going to download an installation[br]file so you can install it on your computer.

0:01:40.396,0:01:43.806
Another option, which I prefer to do, is to go[br]to this little drop down here and you're going

0:01:43.806,0:01:45.736
to actually see the portable versions here.

0:01:45.736,0:01:47.236
So it's for Windows and Mac.

0:01:47.236,0:01:48.756
In my case, I have a Windows computer.

0:01:48.756,0:01:52.956
I would click on the zip file here for the[br]Windows portable, download that zip folder,

0:01:52.956,0:01:57.586
then extract it like you do with any zip folder,[br]and then just open that folder inside of there.

0:01:57.586,0:01:58.406
There's going to be Blender.

0:01:58.406,0:01:59.076
You click on it.

0:01:59.256,0:02:00.356
You run the program.

0:02:00.356,0:02:02.706
And when it runs for the first[br]time, you can just right click

0:02:02.706,0:02:05.096
and pin that program to your taskbar.

0:02:05.096,0:02:06.256
And there you have it.

0:02:06.256,0:02:07.626
So very, very simple.

0:02:07.626,0:02:10.186
No signing in, no passwords, no accounts.

0:02:10.186,0:02:12.246
And you can do that anytime[br]there is a new release.

0:02:12.246,0:02:14.776
You can even have multiple versions of Blender.

0:02:14.776,0:02:17.136
So that is very self-explanatory, very easy.

0:02:17.136,0:02:18.886
So I'm not going to go any more into that.

0:02:18.886,0:02:21.926
Let's get into the next thing where we actually[br]open it up and I'll show you how to use it.

0:02:22.236,0:02:26.086
So if you go ahead and open up Blender, you[br]may even be doing it for the very first time.

0:02:26.126,0:02:28.866
And if you do, it may even[br]seem a little bit intimidating.

0:02:28.866,0:02:32.376
But rest assured, all of these different[br]tabs and windows and features that you see,

0:02:32.556,0:02:36.066
most of them you will not need to know[br]a thing about when just getting started.

0:02:36.066,0:02:37.226
You'll learn that with time.

0:02:37.426,0:02:40.586
Now this thing you see here, the[br]box when you first open up Blender,

0:02:40.736,0:02:42.676
what most people do is they[br]just left click somewhere

0:02:42.716,0:02:45.476
in the viewport and that box just pops away.

0:02:45.716,0:02:48.166
Now getting on to the user interface itself,

0:02:48.166,0:02:50.626
what you're going to see here[br]is the one that just stands out.

0:02:50.626,0:02:53.426
And this is, like I said, the 3D viewport.

0:02:53.426,0:02:54.736
This is where everything happens.

0:02:54.736,0:02:59.046
This is where we see our objects, where we[br]add things in, where we can set up our layout.

0:02:59.046,0:03:01.656
Now I'm not going to be covering[br]navigation just yet.

0:03:01.656,0:03:03.386
I promise I'll get into that in a bit.

0:03:03.476,0:03:07.666
But for now, I'm just explaining what these[br]different windows are or these different boxes.

0:03:07.786,0:03:12.526
Going on to this little box that sits[br]up here, that is our scene outliner.

0:03:12.916,0:03:16.336
And essentially what we see[br]here is the different items

0:03:16.636,0:03:18.586
and objects that are in our scene.

0:03:19.026,0:03:21.266
It really is a great organizational tool.

0:03:21.266,0:03:24.506
And if you're a beginner, this[br]really makes things easier as well.

0:03:24.506,0:03:27.456
Getting organized, especially when[br]your projects get a little bit bigger,

0:03:27.456,0:03:30.046
is one of the most important[br]things you can learn as a beginner.

0:03:30.166,0:03:32.926
And what you can see here is these collections.

0:03:32.956,0:03:35.756
Now collections are essentially[br]just these things you can create

0:03:35.756,0:03:38.556
where you can group different[br]objects in your 3D scene together.

0:03:38.556,0:03:39.876
You can put them in that group.

0:03:39.876,0:03:41.846
Look at it almost like layers in Photoshop.

0:03:41.846,0:03:44.576
I'm not saying there are layers, but[br]you can almost look at it like that

0:03:44.576,0:03:46.626
in a sense if that helps you visualize it.

0:03:46.626,0:03:50.866
You can add in different collections and[br]you can also name the different objects.

0:03:50.986,0:03:55.306
You can even directly come here and click[br]on these objects instead of actually coming

0:03:55.306,0:03:57.266
into your scene and left-clicking on an object.

0:03:57.636,0:04:01.256
The outliner is just another[br]way you can visualize what's

0:04:01.256,0:04:02.666
in your scene and select things.

0:04:02.836,0:04:07.316
You can even go to the drop-down and see[br]more information about certain objects

0:04:07.316,0:04:09.546
or what relationship they[br]have to different objects.

0:04:09.546,0:04:11.686
Now don't worry if that doesn't[br]make any sense to you.

0:04:11.686,0:04:13.106
You don't need to know that right now.

0:04:13.106,0:04:16.186
If it doesn't make sense, I will[br]explain it later on in the tutorial

0:04:16.186,0:04:17.966
if it's relevant to what we're doing.

0:04:18.206,0:04:20.506
But that is our scene outliner essentially.

0:04:20.716,0:04:24.606
Now we have that out of the way, we[br]can come down here to our properties.

0:04:24.606,0:04:29.976
And this is where different things that you[br]do in Blender, you can see their properties.

0:04:29.976,0:04:32.886
For example, let me just click on an object.

0:04:32.886,0:04:35.276
Say for example you just[br]left-click on the cube to select it.

0:04:35.866,0:04:37.796
Then you can go over here to[br]all of the different properties.

0:04:37.796,0:04:40.696
So if you click on this little tab,[br]which is the materials property,

0:04:41.176,0:04:44.486
the properties of the material[br]that this thing has are here.

0:04:44.486,0:04:48.066
So we can change values, we can[br]change different sets of information

0:04:48.066,0:04:50.456
that relate to the materials on this cube.

0:04:50.656,0:04:54.976
Now we have for example over here[br]one called the object properties.

0:04:55.046,0:04:58.776
So over here we can see the[br]different transforms for this object.

0:04:58.826,0:05:03.106
Now transforms essentially, I'll get into[br]that in a little bit, but it is the things

0:05:03.106,0:05:05.906
that we can use to move an object in 3D space.

0:05:05.906,0:05:08.146
So we have an X, Y, and a Z coordinate.

0:05:08.146,0:05:11.906
You can see for example here in the[br]scene, we have the green line here,

0:05:11.906,0:05:15.326
which is our Y coordinate and[br]the X is our X coordinate.

0:05:15.326,0:05:16.026
So pretty simple.

0:05:16.026,0:05:19.566
So essentially here you can see[br]all of these are set to zero

0:05:19.946,0:05:22.606
and that's why our cube is[br]in the middle of our world.

0:05:22.606,0:05:27.906
If we move any one of these on a certain axis,[br]you can see that the cube here is moving.

0:05:28.216,0:05:31.756
Doesn't matter if you don't fully get it,[br]I'll definitely get into that more later.

0:05:31.896,0:05:36.796
But that's what properties are, different[br]things relating to the objects in our scene.

0:05:36.796,0:05:38.996
We can come over here and see their properties.

0:05:38.996,0:05:42.926
Now sometimes some of these properties are[br]not relating to an object in our scene.

0:05:42.926,0:05:45.606
For example, if you click over here,[br]we can see the world properties

0:05:45.606,0:05:48.356
and the world properties has[br]to do with the environment,

0:05:48.556,0:05:50.946
which you can't really see now[br]because we're not rendering.

0:05:51.076,0:05:54.936
So these three windows here are just the[br]three main windows you need to know for now.

0:05:54.936,0:05:57.776
Another thing I'll quickly mention[br]is obviously just this little thing

0:05:57.776,0:05:59.266
down here called the timeline.

0:05:59.446,0:06:03.136
That's just when you're doing animating[br]and it's just like a timeline on a lot

0:06:03.136,0:06:04.906
of different softwares, even 2D softwares.

0:06:05.246,0:06:08.356
It's where you can come and[br]scroll through on different frames

0:06:08.356,0:06:13.156
and go to different time intervals within[br]your 3D scene and then you can change things

0:06:13.156,0:06:15.546
and this is where you would be doing[br]your animation and stuff like that.

0:06:15.546,0:06:19.286
So not to worry about that right now[br]because that's not what we're doing,

0:06:19.466,0:06:21.676
but you get the general idea here.

0:06:21.676,0:06:24.286
So just these three main[br]ones, keep them in your mind.

0:06:24.556,0:06:26.976
Okay, so now we're going to talk[br]a little bit about navigation.

0:06:26.976,0:06:29.286
It's actually pretty simple, but[br]before we can even get into that,

0:06:29.356,0:06:32.756
we have to talk about the[br]number pad on the keyboard.

0:06:32.756,0:06:36.176
So if you have ever seen a keyboard, you know[br]that it has a little number pad down here.

0:06:36.506,0:06:41.806
Now, some computers or more like laptops don't[br]have this number pad and if that's the case,

0:06:41.806,0:06:43.546
there's something you can do about that

0:06:43.606,0:06:47.026
where you can make these numbers[br]up here emulate a number pad.

0:06:47.026,0:06:49.756
So let's just quickly go over into Edit.

0:06:49.986,0:06:54.796
Once we have Blender open, Preferences and[br]then you're going to go over here to the input,

0:06:55.206,0:07:00.146
go up to keyboard and make sure emulate number[br]pad is enabled if you don't have a number pad.

0:07:00.146,0:07:02.666
For me, I have a number pad, so[br]I'm not going to have that enabled.

0:07:02.666,0:07:07.246
Then I'm going to close that and now you[br]should be able to use your number pad as well.

0:07:07.966,0:07:12.396
So while we're on the subject of number pad,[br]you could actually go over here to view,

0:07:12.396,0:07:17.016
go to viewport and then go to, for[br]example, the front view or go over here

0:07:17.016,0:07:20.486
and go to the right view, but it's[br]just good to use the number pad.

0:07:20.486,0:07:23.686
So if you use 1 on your number pad, you[br]can go into the front orthographic view.

0:07:23.686,0:07:25.806
You can see over here it[br]says front orthographic.

0:07:26.146,0:07:29.406
If you press 3 on your number pad, you[br]can go into the right orthographic view,

0:07:29.406,0:07:31.136
so you see it says right over here.

0:07:31.276,0:07:35.196
7 goes to the top and if you want to, for[br]example, go to the bottom, you can just hold

0:07:35.196,0:07:38.356
and control or command seven[br]and then go to the bottom.

0:07:38.356,0:07:39.676
So it just does the opposite of.

0:07:39.676,0:07:41.416
So for example, it's the same with 1.

0:07:41.416,0:07:43.556
If you press 1 on your number[br]pad, it goes to the front view.

0:07:43.736,0:07:44.856
What if you want to look from the back?

0:07:45.116,0:07:47.466
So to make it the opposite[br]of, you just hold and control

0:07:47.466,0:07:50.046
and then press 1 and now[br]you're at the back view.

0:07:50.046,0:07:51.316
So very, very easy.

0:07:51.316,0:07:54.636
You can note that down, write[br]it down and it's super simple.

0:07:54.636,0:07:57.276
So just experiment with the[br]numbers on your number pad

0:07:57.276,0:07:59.036
and that will take you into different views.

0:07:59.036,0:08:02.796
Primarily, you're going to be working[br]in 1 or the front orthographic view.

0:08:02.796,0:08:06.916
So you'll almost always be using one or[br]sometimes even three to see the side view.

0:08:06.916,0:08:09.936
So not really that much you have to[br]learn as far as changing the views.

0:08:09.936,0:08:12.216
That's about the main thing[br]we have to cover for now.

0:08:12.776,0:08:16.966
But as far as actually moving around with the[br]mouse, if you hold in the middle mouse button

0:08:16.966,0:08:19.246
on your mouse and you hold[br]it in and you move the mouse,

0:08:19.276,0:08:21.326
you can actually rotate around like this.

0:08:21.676,0:08:22.746
And that's pretty simple.

0:08:22.746,0:08:27.246
So just middle mouse button holding it in,[br]and if you wanted to go side to side like pan,

0:08:27.246,0:08:31.516
all you have to do is hold and shift, then[br]the middle mouse button, and hold that in

0:08:31.516,0:08:36.006
and just move side to side, and then[br]if you wanted to zoom in and out,

0:08:36.006,0:08:38.306
you can literally just roll[br]the middle mouse button.

0:08:38.576,0:08:43.296
There's also the option of holding and control[br]and then the middle mouse button, holding it in

0:08:43.296,0:08:46.296
and then moving the mouse,[br]but it really is just simpler

0:08:46.296,0:08:48.346
and more intuitive just to[br]roll the middle mouse button.

0:08:48.346,0:08:51.276
So Blender's navigations[br]are actually really easy.

0:08:51.276,0:08:55.486
So just a quick recap, middle mouse[br]button by itself, you can rotate, shift,

0:08:55.486,0:08:58.276
middle mouse button, you can move side to side

0:08:58.356,0:09:01.016
and then just rolling the middle[br]mouse button, you can zoom in and out.

0:09:01.116,0:09:02.096
Extremely simple.

0:09:02.096,0:09:05.446
There's a lot more you could probably say but[br]those are some of the fundamental things as far

0:09:05.446,0:09:08.626
as navigation goes and this[br]isn't really navigation but what

0:09:08.626,0:09:10.136
if you actually want to move an object?

0:09:10.266,0:09:12.206
Well, all you have to do[br]is left click on an object.

0:09:12.206,0:09:16.296
And you can just come over here to these[br]things here, they're called the tool panels

0:09:16.296,0:09:17.656
but you have this one here called the move.

0:09:18.136,0:09:21.506
You can click on it and then you can just[br]click on any one of these handles here.

0:09:21.506,0:09:28.596
So the red one is the X axis, the green here[br]is the Y and the blue is the Z. If you press N

0:09:28.856,0:09:32.216
on your keyboard, you can go over[br]here to the control panel, go to item,

0:09:32.386,0:09:35.156
and you can actually see here[br]these are our transforms.

0:09:35.216,0:09:39.846
So the Z here for example is the blue so you can[br]actually come here to the Z under the location

0:09:40.286,0:09:41.696
and move it that way or this way.

0:09:41.696,0:09:44.646
It's just really the same thing,[br]just a different way of doing it

0:09:45.126,0:09:48.866
and if you just press G, G is the[br]shortcut key for moving things.

0:09:48.866,0:09:51.196
So just pressing G, you can[br]actually move things.

0:09:51.626,0:09:55.346
And also you can go G and[br]then press Z to restrict it

0:09:55.346,0:09:58.976
to the Z axis, X to the X or Y to the Y.

0:09:59.046,0:10:01.486
So all the same thing, just[br]a different way of doing it.

0:10:01.486,0:10:05.656
If you don't really understand what I just[br]did, don't worry, we'll be recapping it

0:10:05.656,0:10:07.586
as we get into the modeling tutorial.

0:10:07.586,0:10:12.436
So it's just something you need to be aware of[br]and then you have this one here called rotate

0:10:12.436,0:10:14.546
and scale, and it's the exact same thing.

0:10:14.696,0:10:17.446
Obviously of rotation, you[br]still have these axes here

0:10:17.446,0:10:20.096
but now instead of moving, you're just rotating.

0:10:20.096,0:10:23.666
So you can left click on 1 or[br]maybe left click on this red one,

0:10:23.806,0:10:25.976
so you can rotate around the[br]X. And the exact same thing.

0:10:26.136,0:10:28.726
Over here in the properties, you[br]can just come to the rotation

0:10:29.086,0:10:32.456
and do the same thing manually[br]here on these different vectors.

0:10:32.826,0:10:36.446
And scale, I mean [inaudible][br]explain the exact same principle,

0:10:36.736,0:10:38.706
this time you're just dealing with scale.

0:10:38.706,0:10:40.626
And you can also just click here on the tool.

0:10:41.456,0:10:46.876
And by the way, the shortcuts here[br]are S for scale and also R for rotate.

0:10:47.436,0:10:51.396
So very, very easy navigation[br]and also moving an object around.

0:10:51.396,0:10:55.176
So I think we really have covered enough now[br]just to get you to understand the basics.

0:10:55.176,0:10:58.736
We'll now jump into the tutorial and if[br]there's anything you haven't understood,

0:10:58.736,0:11:00.086
we'll just cover it slowly.

0:11:00.086,0:11:03.396
I'll go over it again if need be,[br]but you should be able to get it now

0:11:03.396,0:11:05.196
that you're up to speed on Blender.

0:11:05.366,0:11:08.646
So before we get into Blender, and we do a[br]little bit of modeling, you're probably going

0:11:08.646,0:11:12.156
to need a model sheet and that's just[br]something to give you a little bit of reference.

0:11:12.156,0:11:15.286
So you can actually see here on[br]the screen that's now recording,

0:11:15.286,0:11:20.376
here is a picture of a screenshot[br]that I actually took of a model

0:11:20.376,0:11:21.666
that I've already modeled to practice.

0:11:21.986,0:11:25.226
So what you can do is you can just use[br]the print screen key on your keyboard

0:11:25.226,0:11:27.326
or just use the snip tool[br]that comes with Windows.

0:11:27.376,0:11:30.796
Just about every operating system[br]has some sort of built-in tool

0:11:30.796,0:11:33.076
to allow you to do screenshots or snips.

0:11:33.076,0:11:36.576
So just go ahead and you can also crop it[br]if you want, just so you have the picture.

0:11:36.816,0:11:41.286
And once you have that, you should just hit,[br]like in this case, I just named mine Girl

0:11:41.546,0:11:43.356
and here it is somewhere on my computer.

0:11:43.766,0:11:45.766
What you're going to do is[br]you're going to open up Blender.

0:11:45.766,0:11:50.036
So in this case, I am using Blender 3.2.

0:11:50.156,0:11:51.446
So I'm using Blender 3.2.

0:11:51.696,0:11:52.986
And it's now opened up.

0:11:52.986,0:11:54.716
Now the thing that's going[br]to be different here for me,

0:11:54.716,0:11:56.656
I'm just going to enable[br]something that's an add-on.

0:11:57.006,0:11:57.826
You don't have to do this.

0:11:57.826,0:12:01.386
That just enables you guys to see[br]over here the keys that I'm pressing.

0:12:01.386,0:12:03.656
So that just should help you out a little bit.

0:12:03.706,0:12:05.736
But you can see here we have the default scene

0:12:05.946,0:12:08.186
as we've already kind of[br]covered in the previous part.

0:12:08.186,0:12:12.796
But what you can do is you can press[br]1 on your front orthographic to go

0:12:12.796,0:12:13.896
into your front orthographic view.

0:12:13.896,0:12:15.486
So the number pad 1.

0:12:15.586,0:12:18.736
You can also just go to view,[br]viewport and then go to front.

0:12:18.986,0:12:21.246
And what you're going to do is[br]you're going to get that image

0:12:21.606,0:12:22.926
that you should have taken a screenshot of.

0:12:23.216,0:12:25.566
So in this case, I have it[br]somewhere on my computer.

0:12:25.566,0:12:28.936
So I just named it girl and you're just[br]going to click on it and just drag it

0:12:28.936,0:12:30.276
into the front orthographic view.

0:12:30.276,0:12:33.926
Make sure not to drag it onto the cube, but[br]just drag it somewhere here in the empty space

0:12:34.456,0:12:35.676
and you're going to see it adds it in.

0:12:35.676,0:12:38.496
So now you can make it full screen again

0:12:38.496,0:12:41.896
and you have this image here in[br]your front orthographic view.

0:12:42.266,0:12:46.546
Now you can press G while you have it active[br]and if you're not sure if you have it active,

0:12:46.546,0:12:48.536
what you can do, come up here[br]to your scene collection.

0:12:48.536,0:12:52.676
You can see the different objects and by[br]default it's going to be named empty over here.

0:12:52.676,0:12:53.836
See that object called empty?

0:12:53.836,0:12:58.046
So if it's not active, just click on it[br]and you should be able to go G and move it.

0:12:58.326,0:13:03.796
And you can just move it over here and then when[br]you have it roughly in place, just left click

0:13:04.326,0:13:06.626
and what you can also do is while you[br]have it active, you can go over here

0:13:06.626,0:13:09.806
to your properties panel that we talked[br]about earlier and you can go over here

0:13:09.806,0:13:14.256
to object data properties down here[br]on this little image and you can come

0:13:14.686,0:13:17.116
to this option here called[br]opacity and just click on it.

0:13:17.116,0:13:21.906
And then just click here and drag that down a[br]little bit so it's almost see-through like that.

0:13:21.906,0:13:27.886
Okay, so just a little bit is fine and what[br]you can now do is you can just hold your middle

0:13:27.886,0:13:30.986
mouse button in and just[br]move to the side like that.

0:13:30.986,0:13:32.826
You can see here it's now in a 3D space.

0:13:33.266,0:13:37.266
What you can do is you can go G,[br]Y and move it back in your scene.

0:13:37.266,0:13:41.116
So G and then Y to restrict it to the[br]Y axis just so it's not intersecting

0:13:41.446,0:13:43.056
with the object we're going to be modeling.

0:13:43.296,0:13:48.316
And if you go into your front orthographic[br]view again by pressing 1 on your number pad,

0:13:48.696,0:13:53.406
you can see here that we want the[br]front pose to be in the middle.

0:13:53.406,0:13:58.946
So in this case, if it's not quite in the[br]middle, all you can do is go G and then X

0:13:59.376,0:14:02.386
to move it along the X. And just[br]make sure it's in the middle

0:14:02.386,0:14:06.006
as it could possibly be here and also over here.

0:14:06.266,0:14:08.136
In fact, let's just quickly go and enable

0:14:08.136,0:14:11.656
up here this thing called X-ray[br]and now we can see through.

0:14:12.076,0:14:13.816
We still have this empty active.

0:14:14.316,0:14:18.146
We can now make sure we have the feet sitting[br]on the ground so you can see this red line here

0:14:18.146,0:14:20.436
that kind of represents where the ground is.

0:14:20.466,0:14:22.906
So we're going to go G, Z,[br]and just move it down until

0:14:22.906,0:14:26.066
that feet there are sitting[br]right kind of on that red line.

0:14:26.066,0:14:29.996
So now we have this front pose right[br]in the middle there and we can use

0:14:29.996,0:14:32.256
that as a reference and how do we get the side?

0:14:32.256,0:14:33.366
So the side is simple.

0:14:33.366,0:14:35.676
All we have to do now is go[br]Shift D with this active.

0:14:35.676,0:14:43.626
So Shift D, just right click to let go,[br]and then type in RZ90 and hit enter.

0:14:43.626,0:14:48.396
So RZ90 and if you press N to open up[br]your properties panel and go to item,

0:14:48.666,0:14:51.786
you should be able to see here[br]that on the Z, it's rotated 90.

0:14:51.786,0:14:53.636
So if it's not, just type in 90.

0:14:54.136,0:14:57.596
Now press 3 on your number pad to[br]go to the right orthographic view.

0:14:57.596,0:14:59.356
You can see up here, right orthographic view.

0:15:00.076,0:15:06.346
And now you can go G, Y and move it on the Y[br]till the side image is lined up here and kind

0:15:06.346,0:15:08.666
of in the middle of where[br]this cube is over here.

0:15:08.666,0:15:11.156
You can also look at this[br]blue line here as a reference.

0:15:11.186,0:15:16.126
That's just the Z coordinate that you see[br]in the right orthographic view and make sure

0:15:16.126,0:15:17.976
that she is roughly in the middle here.

0:15:17.976,0:15:20.296
So G, Y to move it.

0:15:20.296,0:15:24.546
And make sure you restrict it to the Y when you[br]do because we don't want to be moving it down

0:15:24.546,0:15:27.266
or up now because those feet[br]as you can see here are still

0:15:27.596,0:15:29.756
on that floor there which is really good.

0:15:30.216,0:15:33.186
So also with this one now on[br]the side, we want to go G,

0:15:33.186,0:15:35.256
X and just move it over to the side like this.

0:15:35.256,0:15:38.696
So we're going to our right orthographic[br]view and we model with this cube here.

0:15:38.766,0:15:41.536
That image is not intersecting[br]with the mesh here.

0:15:41.536,0:15:46.496
So now we have our front reference and if we go[br]into our right orthographic view by hitting 3

0:15:46.496,0:15:49.016
on the number pad, we have our side reference.

0:15:49.356,0:15:51.206
Now before we lose anything, let's save this.

0:15:51.206,0:15:54.736
We're going to go File, Save as -- I'm going[br]to choose my desktop and I'm just going

0:15:54.736,0:16:00.476
to call it Girl, low poly, and I'm[br]going to go save as and now it's saved.

0:16:00.896,0:16:05.546
So when it comes to actually modeling something,[br]we can use something called primitive objects.

0:16:05.616,0:16:10.336
So you can see here, for example, we have one[br]already in Blender called the default cube.

0:16:10.386,0:16:13.006
So if you left click on it,[br]you can see it becomes active.

0:16:13.006,0:16:15.216
Also up here in the scene[br]collection, you can see the cube.

0:16:15.686,0:16:19.146
And you could make this into any[br]shape once you start editing it.

0:16:19.146,0:16:21.316
And it's just so you understand.

0:16:21.316,0:16:22.556
I'm going to quickly delete this.

0:16:22.556,0:16:24.326
You don't have to follow along,[br]but just so you understand.

0:16:24.326,0:16:26.136
So for example, you didn't have an object.

0:16:26.136,0:16:29.636
What you can do is you can go shift[br]A. Shift A brings up this add menu

0:16:29.636,0:16:30.786
and you can just go to the meshes.

0:16:31.116,0:16:35.466
Now the meshes are the actual things,[br]the topology that we'll model in 3D,

0:16:35.776,0:16:37.366
and you have a whole bunch of objects here.

0:16:37.366,0:16:44.126
Now all of these are just a bunch of points or[br]vertices that make up an object in 3D space.

0:16:44.126,0:16:46.566
So here is a cube, the one we already had.

0:16:46.566,0:16:47.476
Here's a circle.

0:16:47.476,0:16:48.396
Here's a UV sphere.

0:16:48.396,0:16:53.966
So if I add in a UV sphere, you can see same[br]thing, but just it's shaped like a UV sphere.

0:16:53.966,0:16:56.596
So I'm just going to go ahead,[br]add back in a cube.

0:16:57.156,0:17:00.976
And the reason it is actually in the center[br]of the world here when it's added in is

0:17:00.976,0:17:03.276
because of this little thing[br]here called the 3D cursor.

0:17:03.716,0:17:07.186
Now over here, you can see above[br]the move tool, there's a 3D cursor.

0:17:07.186,0:17:10.176
If you click on that, you can click[br]anywhere and it moves that 3D cursor.

0:17:10.176,0:17:14.076
That 3D cursor is where things get[br]placed by default in your scene.

0:17:14.356,0:17:18.266
It's also a point you can use[br]to rotate around as a transform.

0:17:18.466,0:17:19.836
Won't get into that at the moment.

0:17:20.326,0:17:23.796
But if I now went shift A after[br]moving that cursor and added

0:17:23.796,0:17:25.506
in maybe a sphere, it adds it in there.

0:17:25.506,0:17:27.796
So it's important if that[br]thing isn't in the center.

0:17:27.856,0:17:31.016
First of all, just click back on[br]the move tool if you've done that.

0:17:31.016,0:17:33.886
If there's ever a situation where you need[br]to get your cursor back to the center,

0:17:33.886,0:17:38.206
you can go shift S and you can see[br]cursor to world origin as option here.

0:17:38.206,0:17:42.196
You can actually set the cursor to all sorts[br]of places, but to have it in the center

0:17:42.246,0:17:43.856
of the world, go to world origin.

0:17:43.996,0:17:46.796
It's important that you understand[br]that as a beginner kind of concept.

0:17:46.796,0:17:52.556
Also, when an object is added in, all objects[br]in Blender have what you call an origin point.

0:17:52.556,0:17:55.836
So you can see this little[br]orange, yellow dot in the middle.

0:17:56.016,0:18:02.106
If you come over here to this overlays and you[br]go to the dropdown, origins may not be ticked.

0:18:02.106,0:18:05.346
So if it isn't, just make sure to click[br]on it so you can see that origin point.

0:18:05.406,0:18:07.976
And that is actually the point[br]where things rotate around.

0:18:07.976,0:18:10.016
So if you go R, it rotates around it.

0:18:10.016,0:18:11.716
If you go S, it scales from that point.

0:18:11.716,0:18:16.096
And G, all of those transforms[br]look at that origin point.

0:18:16.776,0:18:20.686
So in 3D, I've already shown you[br]guys previously how you can scale,

0:18:20.686,0:18:22.706
move things around, rotate things.

0:18:23.056,0:18:25.316
But how do you actually edit[br]a piece of geometry?

0:18:25.316,0:18:27.686
To do that, you can come up here[br]and this is the object mode.

0:18:27.686,0:18:29.846
And for now, don't worry[br]about all of these options.

0:18:29.846,0:18:32.126
Just focus on the edit mode.

0:18:32.126,0:18:35.626
If you go into edit mode with an object[br]selected, you're going to now actually see,

0:18:35.866,0:18:38.036
instead of seeing not only the whole object,

0:18:38.036,0:18:43.056
but you actually now see the[br]vertices that make up these objects.

0:18:43.056,0:18:46.576
In this case, you can see, you can[br]actually left click on an individual point.

0:18:46.576,0:18:52.156
And just like you can move things in the object[br]mode, you can also go G and R. At the moment,

0:18:52.156,0:18:53.456
you can't really notice rotation.

0:18:53.456,0:18:56.686
You'd have to select more than two to see that.

0:18:57.056,0:18:57.946
But exact same thing.

0:18:57.946,0:19:01.696
And this is how you can actually[br]edit the shapes.

0:19:01.696,0:19:03.906
You can see the origin point[br]is still there in the middle.

0:19:03.906,0:19:06.426
But if I were to actually just[br]left click and drag to select all

0:19:06.476,0:19:08.256
of this, and then go G to move it off.

0:19:08.256,0:19:13.156
If I now go back into object mode, you can see[br]the origin point is still there where it is.

0:19:13.156,0:19:15.766
So if I now go R to rotate,[br]it's not going to look

0:19:15.766,0:19:17.646
at the object, but actually the origin point.

0:19:17.646,0:19:22.016
So it's important that you guys understand what[br]the origin point is and how that all works.

0:19:22.516,0:19:27.946
You can almost look in object mode, an object in[br]object mode as being just a collection of verts

0:19:27.946,0:19:29.886
that are connected to this group.

0:19:30.106,0:19:32.146
And the vertex is the center of it.

0:19:32.146,0:19:35.316
Just look at it almost like a[br]collection of points in 3D space.

0:19:35.416,0:19:37.936
So now that you understand[br]that, let's actually model here.

0:19:38.126,0:19:41.736
So currently we have the X-ray toggled on.

0:19:41.956,0:19:43.946
You can also toggle it off[br]so you can see through.

0:19:43.946,0:19:45.086
I'm completely up to you.

0:19:45.086,0:19:47.496
But for now, I'm going to press 1 to[br]go into the front orthographic view.

0:19:47.826,0:19:50.966
We have our image set up and we have[br]our cube, which we're going to be using.

0:19:51.336,0:19:54.886
And let's go G and then Z to restrict

0:19:54.886,0:19:58.146
to the Z. Let's just move it[br]roughly to where the body is here.

0:19:58.146,0:20:01.636
In fact, I'm going to turn the[br]X-ray on for now so I can see.

0:20:02.046,0:20:05.726
And let's go S and let's[br]scale this down to about here.

0:20:05.726,0:20:08.766
So it's almost the width of the body like that.

0:20:09.266,0:20:13.226
And as long as your cube is just roughly in[br]the middle, it can be down a little bit or up.

0:20:13.226,0:20:13.866
It doesn't really matter.

0:20:13.866,0:20:17.256
But what you're going to do is you're[br]going to press Tab to go into edit mode.

0:20:17.256,0:20:19.476
Or you can just come up here[br]and go into edit mode that way.

0:20:20.226,0:20:24.626
And inside of edit mode, you're going[br]to left-click and drag and just drag

0:20:24.626,0:20:27.876
over these top vertices to[br]have them selected like that.

0:20:27.876,0:20:32.496
And then you're going to go S,[br]X, and scale them on the X axes.

0:20:32.496,0:20:37.846
You can even see up here that red is the X. And[br]you can actually see the numbers written here

0:20:37.846,0:20:40.866
on the different colors or the[br]letters on the different colors.

0:20:41.006,0:20:43.426
And then you're going to left-click[br]and drag and select the bottom ones.

0:20:43.426,0:20:48.356
And you can go S, X, and scale them along[br]the X. So now from the front, it looks okay.

0:20:48.356,0:20:49.906
But if we press free on the number pad,

0:20:49.906,0:20:53.636
we can see on the right orthographic[br]view that it's not quite matching up.

0:20:53.636,0:20:56.206
So we can select these at the top[br]by left clicking and dragging.

0:20:56.206,0:21:01.996
And we can go S, Y, and flatten it on the[br]Y. You can also just left click and drag

0:21:01.996,0:21:06.736
and just select just the front ones or the back[br]ones and go G and just move them like that.

0:21:07.436,0:21:10.376
So we're currently in the right orthographic.

0:21:10.616,0:21:13.486
And these ones here, they're[br]more or less in the right place.

0:21:13.486,0:21:15.226
But you can also move them if you wanted to.

0:21:15.506,0:21:18.126
So now we have that roughly in place.

0:21:18.126,0:21:21.786
What we can do now is we can[br]extrude this bottom face.

0:21:22.166,0:21:25.666
So one way to do that is just left click[br]and drag to select all of the bottom verts.

0:21:26.216,0:21:29.416
But I'll quickly mention you also have these[br]options up here for different selections.

0:21:29.916,0:21:31.236
You can also click on the face mode.

0:21:31.236,0:21:34.036
And now instead of selecting[br]verts, you can select a face,

0:21:34.036,0:21:35.876
which is a collection of verts and edges.

0:21:35.876,0:21:37.966
So now you can just left click on that face.

0:21:38.076,0:21:40.976
And then you can go back into your[br]right orthographic view by hitting free.

0:21:40.976,0:21:44.096
And you can go E. So E is[br]the shortcut to extrude.

0:21:44.326,0:21:45.936
And that'll extrude a face.

0:21:45.936,0:21:49.186
You can also come here and click[br]on the extrude button here.

0:21:49.186,0:21:50.506
And it'll bring up some options.

0:21:50.576,0:21:52.646
But it's easier just to use the shortcut.

0:21:52.746,0:21:54.726
So I've extruded it down[br]and then just left clicked.

0:21:54.726,0:21:59.096
And then I'm going to just go R. And[br]I'm going to slightly rotate that face.

0:21:59.096,0:22:01.196
And I'm going to go G. And I'm[br]just going to move it back.

0:22:01.376,0:22:06.896
So one thing you'll notice is we're still using[br]a lot of the same G, S, and R to scale, rotate,

0:22:06.956,0:22:08.306
and move things, which is really cool.

0:22:08.486,0:22:11.776
So now let's go to our front view[br]by getting one on a number pad.

0:22:11.776,0:22:14.596
And you can see here it's[br]kind of right at the bottom.

0:22:14.826,0:22:19.386
But over here now it is lacking[br]the right dimension.

0:22:19.386,0:22:24.486
So what we can do to add in an edge is we can[br]just come over here, hovering over an edge.

0:22:24.486,0:22:28.076
And you can go Control R or[br]Command R if you're using a Mac.

0:22:28.076,0:22:29.746
And you're going to see this yellow line appear.

0:22:30.066,0:22:33.976
Once you see the yellow line, you can[br]just left click twice and it'll add it in.

0:22:34.876,0:22:39.086
Then go back into your front orthographic[br]view by hitting one on the number pad.

0:22:39.086,0:22:41.126
S, X with that edge selected.

0:22:41.606,0:22:42.926
And you can scale it out like that.

0:22:42.926,0:22:45.076
Now let's just say you accidentally[br]unselected that edge.

0:22:45.496,0:22:46.256
How do you select it?

0:22:46.256,0:22:47.616
By left clicking and dragging?

0:22:48.496,0:22:49.596
No, not necessarily.

0:22:49.596,0:22:53.746
Because now that it's an edge select, you[br]might select more edges than you wanted to.

0:22:53.746,0:22:55.096
In some cases that would happen.

0:22:55.576,0:23:00.156
So what you may want to do is you can[br]actually, when there's a loop like this,

0:23:00.496,0:23:05.666
you can go Shift Alt and then just left click[br]on an edge and it'll select the whole loop.

0:23:06.056,0:23:07.586
You can also just hold in Shift.

0:23:08.026,0:23:12.306
And while you're holding in Shift and you're[br]moving around, you can select multiple faces.

0:23:12.306,0:23:15.756
So that's one thing to keep in mind[br]if you guys struggle with that.

0:23:16.466,0:23:17.676
That's how you select edges.

0:23:17.886,0:23:19.096
So now we have that in there.

0:23:19.316,0:23:23.706
If we now go to our right orthographic view by[br]hitting free, we can see it's not quite right.

0:23:23.706,0:23:27.706
Let's go to our vertex select, left[br]click and drag to select these verts.

0:23:27.706,0:23:31.966
And let's just move them by pressing G.[br]And you can see what we're doing here.

0:23:31.966,0:23:33.306
It's not hard at all.

0:23:33.306,0:23:36.426
We're just creating the rough[br]shape from the front and the side.

0:23:36.826,0:23:38.116
And yes, it is boxy.

0:23:38.296,0:23:42.986
But what we can do now is we can[br]progressively add more topology.

0:23:42.986,0:23:44.146
So let's come here to the middle.

0:23:44.556,0:23:47.876
Control R, just like we did[br]hovering over one of these edges.

0:23:47.876,0:23:49.506
You should see the yellow line appear.

0:23:49.816,0:23:50.896
And then left click twice.

0:23:51.376,0:23:53.656
And now what we've done,[br]we've cut it in half here.

0:23:53.966,0:23:55.576
It's perfectly symmetrical.

0:23:55.576,0:23:56.856
But we can cheat a little bit.

0:23:56.856,0:23:59.496
We can actually mirror so[br]we only work in one side.

0:23:59.496,0:24:03.036
So let's now left click and drag and[br]just select these verts over here.

0:24:03.036,0:24:05.856
And let's press X and then go delete.

0:24:05.856,0:24:06.786
And what are we working with?

0:24:06.966,0:24:09.056
Vertices. So let's click delete vertices.

0:24:09.356,0:24:11.366
And now we only have half an object.

0:24:11.366,0:24:13.406
We can now go to the properties panel here.

0:24:13.406,0:24:15.346
And let's go to our modifiers.

0:24:15.346,0:24:17.866
Modifiers are just these cool[br]things we can add to an object.

0:24:18.036,0:24:19.726
I won't go into too much detail.

0:24:19.836,0:24:21.756
But let's just go to the add modifier.

0:24:21.756,0:24:24.176
And let's just go and give[br]this one under the generators.

0:24:24.356,0:24:25.436
And that's a mirror.

0:24:25.436,0:24:28.226
And all it's simply doing[br]here is mirroring this object.

0:24:28.326,0:24:31.146
So now we can't actually come here[br]and select anything on this side.

0:24:31.266,0:24:35.376
But if we select something on this side[br]and we press G to move it or rotate it,

0:24:35.376,0:24:36.846
you can see it updates on this side.

0:24:36.886,0:24:40.596
But one of the issues is if we start[br]moving things around, it pulls apart.

0:24:40.596,0:24:42.196
So what we're going to do is[br]we're going to come over here.

0:24:42.196,0:24:43.686
We're going to click on this[br]thing called clipping.

0:24:43.866,0:24:46.716
And now if you move it, it all sticks[br]together, which is really cool.

0:24:46.716,0:24:48.106
And it's going to help you a lot.

0:24:48.246,0:24:51.666
Now going back into the front orthographic[br]by pressing 1 on the number pad,

0:24:52.146,0:24:55.906
you can actually see that little origin point[br]that I talked about earlier is in the middle.

0:24:56.156,0:25:00.576
And that's actually what our mirror[br]modifier is looking at as a reference point.

0:25:01.226,0:25:04.956
So now that we have that mirrored, what we[br]can do is we can press 7 on our number pad

0:25:04.956,0:25:06.106
to go to the top orthographic view.

0:25:06.106,0:25:07.886
And this is looking boxy.

0:25:07.886,0:25:12.936
So let's go Control R. And with Control R, we're[br]going to see the yellow line appear over here.

0:25:12.936,0:25:15.446
Let's double click by left clicking.

0:25:15.876,0:25:19.066
And now what we can do is from the[br]top, we can left click and drag

0:25:19.066,0:25:22.306
and select the front verts[br]over here in the corner.

0:25:22.306,0:25:24.976
And we can go G and move them in a little bit.

0:25:25.326,0:25:25.996
And then left click.

0:25:26.376,0:25:29.556
And let's left click and drag[br]over here, selecting these verts.

0:25:29.556,0:25:32.696
And then let's go G. And[br]let's move them in like that.

0:25:32.696,0:25:34.546
Now we simply rounded that out.

0:25:35.066,0:25:37.416
So this is already starting[br]to look a lot better.

0:25:37.816,0:25:40.346
And we've just used some very[br]simple modeling techniques.

0:25:40.836,0:25:43.906
Let's also just select this vertex[br]down here by left clicking on it.

0:25:43.906,0:25:46.276
Let's just go X and delete that vertex.

0:25:46.406,0:25:48.356
So we now have this open like so.

0:25:48.356,0:25:51.016
And let's also select this one at the top here.

0:25:51.226,0:25:53.816
Let's go X and delete that vertex as well.

0:25:54.076,0:25:56.926
okay, so we want to go back into[br]the front orthographic view.

0:25:57.296,0:26:01.976
Let's continue extruding this topology[br]up and making the rest of the body.

0:26:01.976,0:26:03.366
okay, so what we're going to do is we're going

0:26:03.366,0:26:06.786
to make sure we have our[br]vertex select option enabled.

0:26:06.816,0:26:07.586
We're still in edit mode.

0:26:07.586,0:26:10.576
We're going to left-click and drag[br]in our front orthographic view.

0:26:10.576,0:26:13.426
And we're going to select these verts over here.

0:26:13.426,0:26:16.866
So once they are selected in[br]your front orthographic view,

0:26:16.866,0:26:19.046
remember 1 to go into front orthographic view.

0:26:19.046,0:26:23.886
You're going to go E to extrude and[br]then just move it up to about here

0:26:24.106,0:26:26.046
on the reference or just under the neck.

0:26:26.046,0:26:30.616
And then you're going to go R. So R to rotate[br]and rotate it this much and then left click.

0:26:30.746,0:26:33.286
And then just G again and[br]just move it till it's lined

0:26:33.286,0:26:35.716
up to the bottom of this V here, this delta.

0:26:35.876,0:26:38.516
Then you're going to press 3 to go[br]into your right orthographic view.

0:26:38.516,0:26:43.596
And then you're going to go SY[br]and flatten it on the Y like that.

0:26:43.596,0:26:45.466
Okay, back into the front orthographic view.

0:26:45.466,0:26:49.846
Let's go E to extrude and extrude it[br]up like so, and leave it about here.

0:26:50.346,0:26:52.516
Let's go into our right orthographic view.

0:26:52.756,0:26:57.036
And we're going to go SY and[br]scale it on the Y about that much.

0:26:57.216,0:27:01.566
And then we're going to go Ctrl R or[br]Command R, hovering over one of these edges.

0:27:01.566,0:27:02.676
You should see the yellow line.

0:27:02.746,0:27:04.426
And then you're going to just left click once.

0:27:04.656,0:27:06.476
And then if you move the mouse, you can slide.

0:27:06.476,0:27:09.236
So you can slide it to about[br]here and then left click again.

0:27:09.236,0:27:10.466
And that should put it in place.

0:27:11.016,0:27:17.166
And while that is still active, you can go[br]Alt S. And what is different about this,

0:27:17.216,0:27:21.046
and I won't really get into[br]normals at the moment too much,

0:27:21.086,0:27:23.506
but you have these things[br]on the faces called normals.

0:27:23.546,0:27:28.486
They're like these directional[br]points that the face is kind of --

0:27:28.486,0:27:30.186
I'll quickly show you because[br]it's kind of hard to explain.

0:27:30.186,0:27:31.236
I'm just going to enable something.

0:27:31.236,0:27:35.396
You guys don't have to do this, but it's just[br]so you understand kind of what's going on here.

0:27:35.396,0:27:36.276
I'll quickly show you.

0:27:36.276,0:27:38.416
So these things here, right, the normals.

0:27:38.736,0:27:42.206
Now, if you just press S by itself, it[br]just scales everything as like an average.

0:27:42.256,0:27:47.526
But if you go Alt S, it looks at these[br]normals and it scales out along the normals.

0:27:47.526,0:27:49.076
And it does it a little bit in a different way.

0:27:49.076,0:27:52.836
So going Alt S will scale that[br]out like this, nice and evenly.

0:27:53.466,0:27:55.376
So I'm just going to turn that off that I turned

0:27:55.376,0:27:57.386
on because I don't need to[br]have that on right now.

0:27:58.116,0:27:59.816
But you guys should understand[br]where I'm coming from.

0:27:59.816,0:28:02.116
So I want to go back into[br]the front orthographic view.

0:28:02.116,0:28:06.356
I'm going to come over here, Control R[br]over one of these edges, left click once

0:28:06.356,0:28:07.916
and then move the mouse to bring it down.

0:28:07.986,0:28:11.216
And then Alt S and scale it out like that.

0:28:11.216,0:28:15.476
And then just like that, we have this[br]little thing forming here quite easily.

0:28:15.956,0:28:18.716
And what we can do as well,[br]just Control R hovering

0:28:18.716,0:28:22.446
over this edge here, double[br]click to add an edge.

0:28:22.446,0:28:26.086
And over here as well, the back,[br]Control R and then double click.

0:28:26.496,0:28:28.186
And now we have a bit more topology.

0:28:28.186,0:28:32.046
I'm also just going to come in here,[br]Control R hovering over one of these edges

0:28:32.046,0:28:35.136
and just double click once to add in an edge.

0:28:35.276,0:28:36.896
And that's most of the body done now.

0:28:36.896,0:28:38.846
So let's just quickly make the leg.

0:28:39.096,0:28:42.006
So instead of using existing topology in[br]here, what we're going to do is we're going

0:28:42.006,0:28:44.056
to go back into our object mode up here.

0:28:44.246,0:28:46.576
And earlier I showed you[br]guys how to add in an object.

0:28:46.576,0:28:49.296
So we're going to go Shift A. We're[br]going to go to our mesh options.

0:28:49.296,0:28:51.396
We're going to add in something[br]called a cylinder.

0:28:51.396,0:28:52.546
So go ahead and add that in.

0:28:52.756,0:28:54.716
Now this has got way too much geometry.

0:28:54.716,0:28:57.176
So let's go over here to this[br]add cylinder option down here.

0:28:57.176,0:28:57.926
Just left click on it.

0:28:57.926,0:28:58.696
It'll open it up.

0:28:58.846,0:29:01.866
And currently this consists of 32 vertices.

0:29:01.866,0:29:04.016
So let's click on here and type in five.

0:29:04.016,0:29:06.346
So now you can see it's a lot less topology.

0:29:06.626,0:29:07.606
That's more like we want.

0:29:07.606,0:29:09.356
We're going for low poly workflow here.

0:29:09.556,0:29:13.296
And you can also come here[br]to the type and change it

0:29:13.296,0:29:15.576
from whatever it's at and change it to nothing.

0:29:15.576,0:29:18.036
So it won't have the caps on here on the end.

0:29:18.036,0:29:21.056
Okay, so if you quickly go to your[br]X-ray mode and just turn it off up here,

0:29:21.416,0:29:22.576
you can kind of see it a little bit better.

0:29:22.576,0:29:24.906
So for now I'm just turning off[br]the X-ray up here to toggle.

0:29:24.976,0:29:26.556
And this is now a new object.

0:29:26.556,0:29:28.926
So if we selected this, you can see up here,

0:29:28.926,0:29:31.016
the cylinder is active up[br]here in the scene collection.

0:29:31.016,0:29:35.136
And we press tab to go into edit mode or we[br]can also come up here and go into edit mode.

0:29:35.136,0:29:38.026
You should now see that you[br]can't edit this object over here.

0:29:38.286,0:29:41.166
You have to actually go back into object[br]mode and then click on this again.

0:29:41.516,0:29:45.526
But what you can do is you can hold and shift[br]after you've selected one of the objects

0:29:45.526,0:29:46.716
and then select the second object.

0:29:47.366,0:29:49.966
Then when both were selected,[br]you can see they're both active.

0:29:49.966,0:29:52.366
You can press tab or go into edit mode.

0:29:52.366,0:29:54.456
And now both, you can work with both of them.

0:29:54.456,0:29:57.886
And when you go back into object mode,[br]they're still both separate objects.

0:29:57.886,0:30:00.206
Something interesting about objects[br]that you guys can keep in mind.

0:30:00.296,0:30:02.606
So we're in object mode again,[br]just select this guy here.

0:30:02.606,0:30:04.886
And remember that origin point,[br]see that little orange dot?

0:30:04.886,0:30:05.746
Same thing as the cube.

0:30:05.746,0:30:09.586
We're going to go S and just scale the whole[br]thing down in object mode to about this scale.

0:30:09.586,0:30:13.586
And then left click once you're done and[br]then go G and move it over here roughly.

0:30:13.916,0:30:17.556
Okay, then you're going to go[br]and press free on your number pad

0:30:17.556,0:30:18.846
to go to your right orthographic.

0:30:18.846,0:30:22.036
And you're just going to move it forward a[br]little bit like that, just roughly in place.

0:30:22.286,0:30:24.716
And now we can tab into edit mode.

0:30:24.956,0:30:29.236
And while we're in a right orthographic view,[br]let's just turn on our X-ray again up here.

0:30:29.236,0:30:32.076
And this is left click and drag[br]and just select these bottom verts.

0:30:32.076,0:30:35.936
And let's just go G, move them down to here and[br]then go R to rotate them and S to scale a bit.

0:30:36.056,0:30:39.706
Then we're going to select these[br]ones up here, move them forward,

0:30:39.706,0:30:42.196
S to scale them a bit, just like that.

0:30:42.196,0:30:43.766
now we have a leg starting to form here.

0:30:43.946,0:30:47.016
And let's just click and drag and[br]select these bottom verts again.

0:30:47.256,0:30:50.746
And what we're going to do is we're going[br]to go E to extrude and then we're going

0:30:50.746,0:30:53.586
to go S to scale to about this much.

0:30:53.586,0:30:55.866
We're going to go G and move[br]all of that forward a bit.

0:30:55.866,0:30:58.946
And then we're going to go E[br]to extrude, bring it to here.

0:30:58.946,0:31:02.666
And then we're going to go E to[br]extrude, S to scale about that much.

0:31:02.856,0:31:06.616
Back in your right orthographic view,[br]you can just move this whole thing back

0:31:06.616,0:31:09.496
by pressing G, S to scale it just a little bit.

0:31:09.496,0:31:13.516
And then we're going to go E to extrude[br]and extrude it down to here, R to rotate

0:31:13.596,0:31:16.166
and then S to scale till it matches up.

0:31:16.166,0:31:18.306
And then what we're going to do[br]is we're going to press 1 to go

0:31:18.306,0:31:19.546
into our front orthographic view.

0:31:19.546,0:31:22.006
And you can see over here, this[br]comes out a little bit too much.

0:31:22.006,0:31:26.796
So let's just select these verts over here[br]and let's just go G, move them in, left click

0:31:26.796,0:31:30.006
and drag, select these two[br]and then G to move them in.

0:31:30.146,0:31:32.856
Now you can see it's all[br]starting to look pretty good.

0:31:32.856,0:31:35.826
So how do we mirror this[br]leg onto the other side?

0:31:35.826,0:31:38.116
So we can do the exact same thing[br]we did up here with the body.

0:31:38.116,0:31:40.186
So we're going to go over[br]here and this time we're going

0:31:40.186,0:31:42.366
to give it a mirror again under the modifiers.

0:31:42.796,0:31:46.316
And we don't have to enable clipping

0:31:46.316,0:31:49.516
because these two objects are not actually[br]touching like this one is over here.

0:31:49.516,0:31:52.416
But you can notice there's[br]not anything appearing here

0:31:52.416,0:31:53.506
on the other side and why is that?

0:31:53.506,0:31:57.866
So if we tab back into object mode,[br]what we have to do in this case,

0:31:57.866,0:32:02.246
because that origin point is not in the middle,[br]this one has its origin point in the middle,

0:32:02.246,0:32:05.066
we have to actually select a[br]mirror object as a reference.

0:32:05.406,0:32:08.496
So in this case, we're going to click on[br]this little eyedropper and we're going

0:32:08.496,0:32:10.196
to click on the body as a reference.

0:32:10.196,0:32:15.866
And now it'll put it right in the middle[br]or the point where it's mirroring is going

0:32:15.866,0:32:17.236
to be right in the middle of that body.

0:32:18.106,0:32:21.306
So it's almost using the origin point[br]of this one now, which is really good.

0:32:21.306,0:32:23.776
So now it's nice and mirrored like that.

0:32:23.776,0:32:25.036
And it's all starting to look really good.

0:32:25.036,0:32:27.056
So let's just select these[br]legs again, tab into edit mode.

0:32:27.326,0:32:30.306
This is press free to go into our right[br]orthographic view, click and drag,

0:32:30.306,0:32:33.396
select these bottom verts and then[br]go E to extrude, bring them down.

0:32:33.576,0:32:35.706
R to rotate them, to flatten them out a bit.

0:32:35.706,0:32:36.826
And then this is really simple.

0:32:36.826,0:32:39.136
Just click and drag and select[br]these verts over here.

0:32:39.476,0:32:44.046
E to extrude and bring them forward and[br]then bring these two verts down like that.

0:32:44.286,0:32:46.486
Click and drag, select these[br]bottom verts, bring them up.

0:32:46.516,0:32:48.456
Then go into your front orthographic view.

0:32:48.786,0:32:51.076
And in this case, you may[br]actually just have to come

0:32:51.076,0:32:54.016
and select just these verts over here like that.

0:32:54.016,0:32:57.886
So clicking, dragging over them,[br]go to your front view and then go G

0:32:57.886,0:32:59.376
and just move them to the side a little bit.

0:32:59.376,0:33:02.106
And you can do the same thing[br]over here just to widen that foot.

0:33:02.396,0:33:04.246
So that's looking a lot better.

0:33:04.246,0:33:06.066
And then you can come in[br]here, add in more topology.

0:33:06.066,0:33:09.756
You can go control R and instead[br]of just leaving at one cut,

0:33:09.756,0:33:11.896
you can just roll the middle[br]mouse button up once.

0:33:11.896,0:33:15.036
That's going to add in two[br]segments and then click left twice.

0:33:15.156,0:33:18.376
And then you can come in here,[br]control R over one of these edges

0:33:18.376,0:33:19.596
and you should see a loop appearing.

0:33:19.766,0:33:24.456
Just double click once and then go[br]alt S and scale it out a little bit

0:33:24.566,0:33:26.346
on the normals, just to round things out.

0:33:26.346,0:33:28.906
And there we have a simple foot forming.

0:33:28.996,0:33:33.296
We can refine things a little bit later,[br]but the foot or leg area is now done mostly.

0:33:33.606,0:33:36.586
And let's just toggle off the x-ray for[br]now, see what things are looking like.

0:33:36.586,0:33:37.906
And you can see how simple this is.

0:33:37.906,0:33:42.086
Even if you're a beginner, these are very, very[br]simple techniques and are very easy to follow.

0:33:42.546,0:33:45.846
So the legs or the arms are going[br]to be very similar to the legs.

0:33:45.846,0:33:50.686
In fact, to save a little bit of time, what you[br]can do is you can actually select the leg here

0:33:50.846,0:33:54.746
and in your front orthographic view, you can[br]go shift D. That's going to make a duplication

0:33:54.746,0:33:56.396
and you're going to move[br]this duplication up here.

0:33:56.596,0:33:59.106
Left click and then you can go R and rotate.

0:33:59.106,0:34:01.546
Remember, it's rotating around[br]this origin point.

0:34:01.756,0:34:02.746
That's why we have it at the top.

0:34:02.746,0:34:06.576
So we're going to go R to rotate and[br]just roughly line it up with the arms.

0:34:06.576,0:34:07.616
It can be very rough.

0:34:07.676,0:34:10.606
And if you need to enable the[br]x-ray, make sure to do that.

0:34:10.666,0:34:14.846
Then you can go G and just move it so this[br]origin point is the top of the shoulder here.

0:34:15.106,0:34:17.066
And these things can be roughly lined up.

0:34:17.066,0:34:18.866
In fact, let's just quickly, while we have

0:34:18.866,0:34:22.256
that cylinder 001 active,[br]let's just tab into edit mode.

0:34:23.006,0:34:27.896
Left click and drag and just select all of these[br]bottom parts and then go G and just move it

0:34:27.896,0:34:31.716
so this middle bit is kind of[br]where this sleeve is over here.

0:34:32.646,0:34:35.626
And then what you can do is[br]while that's also active,

0:34:35.626,0:34:38.596
you can press X and then go delete faces.

0:34:38.856,0:34:42.196
Now we only have this cylinder[br]here roughly in place.

0:34:42.196,0:34:44.876
And if you go 3 on your number[br]pad, you can see it from the side.

0:34:45.136,0:34:48.616
And in the side here, you can just left[br]click and drag, select all of these top parts

0:34:48.616,0:34:52.426
and go G. Just move them back a little[br]bit and then go S to scale and then click

0:34:52.426,0:34:56.436
and drag these ones, G and move them a little[br]bit to the middle and then go S to scale up.

0:34:56.656,0:34:59.956
And now that we have that roughly in place,[br]go back to our front orthographic view

0:35:00.066,0:35:02.866
and we're now going to quickly[br]model our arm as well.

0:35:02.866,0:35:06.396
So what we're going to do[br]in edit mode with our arm,

0:35:06.396,0:35:08.116
let's just select these top verts over here.

0:35:08.116,0:35:09.436
We're still in our X-ray mode.

0:35:09.436,0:35:12.166
We're just going to select them and[br]we're going to go R to rotate them

0:35:12.286,0:35:13.896
and G to move them here a little bit.

0:35:13.896,0:35:15.516
And then we're going to select[br]this bottom vert here.

0:35:15.666,0:35:18.436
And we're just going to come up to this[br]thing here called our proportional editing.

0:35:18.436,0:35:22.426
I'm not going to get into these settings too[br]much, but if you select one vertex now down here

0:35:22.426,0:35:25.746
and you press G to move it, you can see[br]the rest of them kind of drag along.

0:35:25.746,0:35:28.366
Now if you roll down your[br]middle mouse button or up,

0:35:28.366,0:35:31.776
you can see you have this influence[br]factor here and that controls more

0:35:31.776,0:35:33.356
or less depending on how much you roll it.

0:35:33.356,0:35:38.346
So this allows you to grab one point and[br]then kind of gradually over a gradient

0:35:38.846,0:35:40.996
to the area affect the rest of the verts.

0:35:40.996,0:35:45.516
So I'm going to drag that down like that and[br]then I'm going to disable it again up here

0:35:45.516,0:35:48.106
and I'm just going to click and[br]drag to select these bottom verts.

0:35:48.376,0:35:53.686
And then what I'm going to do is going to[br]double tap R, pressing R twice to rotate it

0:35:53.686,0:35:56.876
and then just rotating it till[br]it's a little bit more flat.

0:35:57.296,0:36:01.016
And then I'm going to go G and I'm going to[br]move it here and I'm going to go E to extrude

0:36:01.016,0:36:02.546
to here and then S to scale down.

0:36:02.746,0:36:04.746
And now let's go to our right orthographic view

0:36:04.746,0:36:07.256
and make sure everything is[br]looking okay here from the side.

0:36:07.256,0:36:08.916
At the moment, it kind of is.

0:36:08.916,0:36:13.176
So maybe just move this out a little bit more[br]here, but just more or less trying to line

0:36:13.176,0:36:14.826
that up to what we see here on the side.

0:36:15.136,0:36:16.096
That's looking okay.

0:36:16.096,0:36:18.566
So let's go back to the front[br]view and just click and drag

0:36:18.566,0:36:20.326
to select just these verts down here.

0:36:20.326,0:36:24.566
I'm going to go shift D to duplicate them,[br]right click to let go and then E to extrude,

0:36:24.926,0:36:29.676
S to scale, and then G, let's move them down[br]a little bit and then R to rotate like that.

0:36:29.676,0:36:35.076
And I'm going to go E to extrude them here,[br]S to scale and then E to extrude, S to scale.

0:36:35.076,0:36:36.876
I'm going to scale them in like that.

0:36:36.876,0:36:37.966
So S to scale.

0:36:38.586,0:36:40.396
Now we have that simple little sleeve there.

0:36:40.556,0:36:44.686
In fact, we can just select any vertex[br]on this part here and go control L

0:36:44.686,0:36:49.256
or command L. It'll then just select anything[br]that is loose and connected to that vertex.

0:36:49.256,0:36:53.136
I'm going to go G and just move it up in there[br]a little bit just so it's nicely embedded

0:36:53.136,0:36:55.516
and then select these bottom[br]bits and move them down again.

0:36:55.516,0:37:00.306
So now if you go to your right view, you should[br]see it more or less that that is also lining up.

0:37:00.556,0:37:04.636
Go back to the front view and[br]let's make a simple hand over here.

0:37:04.636,0:37:07.636
In fact, let's just tab back[br]out into object mode.

0:37:07.896,0:37:10.826
and we're going to go shift[br]A and I'm going to go

0:37:10.826,0:37:12.716
to my front orthographic view by pressing one.

0:37:12.756,0:37:16.256
I'm going to go shift A and[br]I'm going to get a cube.

0:37:16.516,0:37:18.846
The cube is down here and I'm[br]going to go G to move the cube.

0:37:19.086,0:37:23.926
Over to where the hand is and then S to[br]scale it down quite a bit and then I'm going

0:37:23.926,0:37:25.986
to go into my right orthographic view.

0:37:25.986,0:37:27.466
Make sure it's in the middle of the hand.

0:37:27.626,0:37:28.536
Okay, that's all good.

0:37:28.716,0:37:32.246
So going back to the front orthographic[br]view and we're going to tab into edit mode

0:37:32.246,0:37:35.506
and then just select all of this[br]and then R to rotate it like so.

0:37:35.726,0:37:39.536
Then click and drag and just select[br]these verts over here like that.

0:37:39.536,0:37:43.416
And then what you're going to do is you're going[br]to go G, move them to about here and then S

0:37:43.416,0:37:46.466
to scale them a little bit and[br]then E to extrude and then click

0:37:46.466,0:37:48.336
about here and then go G, move them here.

0:37:48.446,0:37:50.736
R to rotate and then S to scale a little bit.

0:37:50.796,0:37:53.976
Now if you go to your right orthographic[br]view by hitting 3 on the number pad,

0:37:53.976,0:37:57.376
you're going to see things don't quite line up[br]so you're going to select these ones over here.

0:37:57.376,0:37:58.226
You're going to move them back.

0:37:58.326,0:38:02.906
Select this one over here, move it here and[br]then select these two and then bring these ones

0:38:02.906,0:38:06.506
to the corner of the thumb intersection[br]there and then move these ones out a bit too.

0:38:06.886,0:38:10.036
We're then going to come in here[br]and you can see we have a face here.

0:38:10.216,0:38:11.756
In fact, let's just add an extra loop.

0:38:11.756,0:38:15.496
We're going to go control R or[br]command R hovering over this edge.

0:38:15.496,0:38:16.486
Add in an extra loop.

0:38:16.686,0:38:18.526
Then we're going to go to[br]our face select option here.

0:38:18.746,0:38:19.546
Click on this face.

0:38:19.806,0:38:23.276
Go back to our right orthographic view and[br]then we're going to go G and move this one

0:38:23.276,0:38:25.136
out to here and then R to rotate.

0:38:25.136,0:38:31.366
And then we're going to go E to extrude that one[br]about this much and then S to scale, R to rotate

0:38:31.366,0:38:34.076
and then G and we're going to[br]move that one back like that.

0:38:34.146,0:38:38.916
And now we have a face over here and that face[br]in our front orthographic view we're just going

0:38:38.916,0:38:42.776
to go E to extrude it, and then S[br]to scale it, and then G to move it,

0:38:42.916,0:38:44.976
and that's going to be a simple thumb.

0:38:45.216,0:38:48.056
And this hand here is about[br]as simple as you can get.

0:38:48.056,0:38:54.486
You can come in here control R to add an extra[br]loop and control R in here to add an extra loop.

0:38:54.606,0:38:57.746
Then if you press A to select[br]all of this geometry you can come

0:38:57.746,0:39:01.816
to this tool here called the smooth tool[br]and then just drag in this little gizmo

0:39:01.816,0:39:03.926
and it'll smooth it all out like that.

0:39:04.156,0:39:06.066
And then just go back to the[br]move tool when you're done.

0:39:06.356,0:39:08.406
So you can see that's looking pretty cool.

0:39:08.566,0:39:11.006
So let's just tab back out into object mode.

0:39:11.466,0:39:14.796
We've got a hand instead of adding a[br]mirror to that hand you can just hold

0:39:14.796,0:39:20.496
in shift while you have that hand selected,[br]and select the arm, and then go control J

0:39:20.496,0:39:23.326
and it'll join that mesh to that arm.

0:39:23.326,0:39:24.666
So now that's all one object.

0:39:24.986,0:39:28.876
Let's just quickly disable our x-ray so[br]we can see what it's all looking like.

0:39:29.206,0:39:31.246
So pretty easy so far, isn't it?

0:39:31.596,0:39:33.646
And it's looking really cool, very stylized.

0:39:33.936,0:39:37.876
Let's quickly get into making the head which[br]is actually pretty simple despite the fact

0:39:37.876,0:39:39.336
that it looks a little bit complicated.

0:39:39.486,0:39:42.326
So let's go shift A, add in a cube.

0:39:42.326,0:39:45.886
And with this cube we're going to go G,[br]Z and move it to the top of the head.

0:39:45.886,0:39:49.246
I'm going to go S to scale that cube[br]down to about the size of the head.

0:39:49.386,0:39:51.706
Let's enable our x-ray once again go

0:39:51.706,0:39:55.006
into our right orthographic view[br]by pressing 3 on the number pad.

0:39:55.126,0:39:58.756
And let's tab into edit mode[br]and go contol R over one

0:39:58.756,0:40:02.046
of these edges to add in a loop, double click.

0:40:02.356,0:40:06.946
And let's just with that still selected[br]go G and move it just down a little bit.

0:40:07.046,0:40:10.676
And let's get to our vertex select option,[br]select this vertex over here, these two.

0:40:10.676,0:40:13.456
And then go G and move that forward a bit

0:40:13.456,0:40:16.946
and then select these two back ones[br]here or these four I should say.

0:40:16.946,0:40:20.666
And then go G and move it like that and[br]then you're going to select these two

0:40:20.956,0:40:24.026
or these four verts at the top by[br]clicking and dragging over them,

0:40:24.336,0:40:25.606
and you're going to move them here.

0:40:25.606,0:40:28.836
And you're going to go E to extrude[br]them up and then S to scale like that.

0:40:28.996,0:40:32.966
It's still looking very boxy so now[br]if we go control R while hovering

0:40:32.966,0:40:37.396
over this edge we can add in a loop, double[br]click go to your front view and what we're going

0:40:37.396,0:40:40.076
to do is we're going to go control[br]R hovering over one of these edges.

0:40:40.206,0:40:44.066
You can see the yellow line, double[br]click then select half of the verts

0:40:44.066,0:40:45.846
over here and press X and delete.

0:40:45.846,0:40:49.396
You can see that origin point is nice and,[br]in the middle, there so just like we did

0:40:49.396,0:40:52.056
with our body originally if[br]we now go to our modifiers,

0:40:52.056,0:40:57.926
we can give it a mirror modifier enable clipping[br]so it doesn't pull apart and now it's mirrored.

0:40:57.926,0:41:03.106
So what we can do is come in here control[br]R to add in another edge here double click.

0:41:03.356,0:41:06.776
And let's just select this[br]vertex down here let's go

0:41:06.776,0:41:08.966
to our proportional editing by enabling it.

0:41:08.966,0:41:12.706
And then we're going to go[br]G and if you have too little

0:41:12.706,0:41:17.176
or too much influence you can roll the middle[br]mouse button while you move to control that.

0:41:17.176,0:41:18.916
So we're just going to select[br]that vert and move it in.

0:41:19.166,0:41:23.546
Then select these verts here and then[br]go G. And just move them in as well.

0:41:23.866,0:41:26.306
Then just select these ones[br]bring them down a little bit.

0:41:26.306,0:41:30.196
And you can figure this out yourself it's[br]actually pretty easy all you're doing now is

0:41:30.196,0:41:36.586
going to the different views and you can select[br]verts, and you can go G and just move them

0:41:36.636,0:41:40.586
and roll the middle mouse button while[br]you have that proportional editing just

0:41:40.586,0:41:42.156
to select things and round them out.

0:41:42.156,0:41:43.796
It's actually really simple.

0:41:44.316,0:41:48.586
So I'm going to select this corner one here in[br]the right orthographic view and then this one

0:41:48.986,0:41:51.326
so just rounding things out[br]and if you're not sure

0:41:51.326,0:41:53.486
which one you're pressing[br]just go into the normal view.

0:41:54.046,0:41:56.096
Left click then press free to go back

0:41:56.096,0:41:59.146
into the right orthographic[br]view and just repeat like that.

0:41:59.626,0:42:00.856
You can even select everything.

0:42:01.056,0:42:04.066
Once again go to that smooth[br]tool and just slightly smooth it

0:42:04.066,0:42:05.766
out then go back to the move tool.

0:42:05.766,0:42:07.326
So you can see how we're making the head here.

0:42:07.326,0:42:11.976
So what I'm going to do is I'm just going[br]to come in here ctrl R over this edge

0:42:11.976,0:42:13.926
to add in another loop, click it in.

0:42:14.116,0:42:17.856
Select these two here and just move them forward[br]to create a bit more dimension to the face,

0:42:18.106,0:42:21.196
and then ctrl R over here to add double click.

0:42:21.506,0:42:26.146
Select these ones at the front and then G and[br]move them in and down, then select this brow

0:42:26.146,0:42:29.736
over here and move it forward and that[br]just creates a bit more of that area

0:42:29.736,0:42:31.046
where the eyes would kind of sit.

0:42:31.046,0:42:32.136
It just gives that feel of it.

0:42:32.136,0:42:37.586
And then we're going to just move some of this[br]topology back a little bit by just selecting it,

0:42:38.276,0:42:41.526
pressing G to move it, going[br]back to the front you can kind

0:42:41.526,0:42:43.936
of see how this head is coming together.

0:42:44.296,0:42:45.006
Pretty cool.

0:42:45.006,0:42:51.596
So let's now tab back out into object mode[br]and let's just go shift A add in a cylinder.

0:42:52.006,0:42:56.086
Once again, let's just come to the vertices[br]and let's just make it five then we're going

0:42:56.086,0:42:59.926
to go G, Z, move it up, S to[br]scale, and there you have a neck.

0:43:00.006,0:43:03.076
So go into your right orthographic[br]view if you wish in edit mode.

0:43:03.076,0:43:06.446
You can just select the different[br]points, rotate them.

0:43:06.966,0:43:09.376
And this is just like we've[br]done before at this point.

0:43:09.526,0:43:12.326
You guys should be able to start[br]getting how this all works.

0:43:12.326,0:43:16.216
So selecting the verts, scaling[br]them, moving them by pressing G,

0:43:16.526,0:43:18.106
and just matching it up to that neck.

0:43:18.106,0:43:19.956
So just a very simple cylinder like that.

0:43:20.016,0:43:22.816
You can delete these caps[br]on the end by just dragging

0:43:22.816,0:43:25.046
over them, and going X and delete faces.

0:43:25.266,0:43:28.156
And there we have it that[br]neck is very, very easy.

0:43:28.486,0:43:29.796
Let's go back into object mode.

0:43:30.116,0:43:34.166
Let's un-enable the x-ray, we[br]don't need to see it at the moment.

0:43:34.346,0:43:36.976
And you can see it's actually[br]coming together pretty well.

0:43:37.106,0:43:40.226
Before we get into the hair let's[br]just quickly select the body here.

0:43:40.516,0:43:44.266
Shift A, left click on this edge[br]to loop, select it over here.

0:43:44.266,0:43:49.796
Let's just go E to extrude S to scale,[br]and then G just move it in a little bit,

0:43:49.796,0:43:52.186
you can disable proportional[br]editing at this point.

0:43:52.436,0:43:59.266
Move it down a bit and then E, Z, and extrude[br]that down, and then S to scale it, like that.

0:43:59.266,0:44:01.626
So just bringing that in like that.

0:44:01.626,0:44:03.496
Okay so we're pretty much[br]now done with most of this.

0:44:03.496,0:44:06.146
You can add some ears as well like I did.

0:44:06.326,0:44:12.436
A very simple way to do that is to go shift A,[br]just add in a cube G to move that cube forward.

0:44:12.606,0:44:17.756
S to scale that cube, and of this cube[br]here, just get roughly the size of the ear.

0:44:17.976,0:44:21.416
Then tab into edit mode, and if you[br]want to enable the x-ray just do

0:44:21.416,0:44:25.826
that so you can select the top[br]face, G to move it, R to rotate.

0:44:26.026,0:44:28.676
Then select these bottom[br]ones, G to move it down.

0:44:28.786,0:44:31.346
R to rotate, then go to your[br]right orthographic view.

0:44:31.346,0:44:34.516
Select the whole thing and[br]then go S, Y, to flatten it.

0:44:34.516,0:44:37.016
And then R to rotate it just[br]at a bit of an angle.

0:44:37.306,0:44:43.616
And at this point, you can do something where[br]you go control R, roll in two extra loops.

0:44:43.866,0:44:47.236
Control R over this edge, roll your middle[br]mouse, button up, and then double click.

0:44:47.466,0:44:50.246
Now you have a little bit more[br]topology and in your front view.

0:44:50.246,0:44:53.116
You can kind of pull these[br]points around selecting them,

0:44:53.266,0:44:55.736
and just evening things out just a little bit.

0:44:55.736,0:44:59.576
And then to make that divot there, it's[br]actually really simple, you can go to your face,

0:44:59.576,0:45:01.776
select option disable the mirror for now.

0:45:02.036,0:45:06.126
And then holding and shift, you can just[br]click on all of these front faces like so.

0:45:06.586,0:45:09.286
While you're holding shift, and[br]go E to extrude, S to scale.

0:45:09.566,0:45:11.476
Left click, and then E to extrude in.

0:45:11.476,0:45:16.266
And then S to scale, and then you can[br]just select the whole thing by pressing A.

0:45:16.506,0:45:20.686
So you select all of the topology, go to your[br]little smooth tool again and then just drag

0:45:20.686,0:45:23.286
that little gizmo and smooth[br]it out just slightly.

0:45:23.886,0:45:28.426
And there you have a very simple ear to[br]which you can also add a mirror modifier.

0:45:29.006,0:45:33.976
Make sure to click on the little eyedropper, and[br]select something like the head for a reference.

0:45:35.056,0:45:36.036
And there we have it.

0:45:36.336,0:45:41.656
Ears. You can scale them up a little[br]bit, go back into object mode.

0:45:41.836,0:45:45.546
And with the head here, you can[br]always just go into edit mode again.

0:45:45.806,0:45:48.806
Go to this edge, select option,[br]and then select an edge.

0:45:49.026,0:45:53.696
And you can enable proportional editing, and[br]at this point, you can very simply select edges

0:45:53.806,0:45:59.536
and just adjust accordingly to make that all[br]look a little bit better by bringing it all out.

0:45:59.806,0:46:01.826
Maybe go to vertex select if it's easier.

0:46:02.036,0:46:05.836
But at this point you guys see what we're[br]doing here just how simple all of this is.

0:46:06.386,0:46:10.366
So an easier way to make the hair is to[br]kind of use an existing mesh like the head.

0:46:10.406,0:46:11.646
So let's just select the head.

0:46:11.976,0:46:12.986
Go into edit mode.

0:46:13.386,0:46:16.666
And one thing that might make things[br]a little bit simpler here is maybe

0:46:16.666,0:46:18.376
to round the head out just a bit.

0:46:18.376,0:46:22.576
So I'm going to go into the x-ray again[br]by toggling it, selecting just these here.

0:46:22.576,0:46:24.496
And then with proportional editing.

0:46:24.496,0:46:28.416
I'm just going to press G, and move them in[br]a bit and the same here with the squareness

0:46:28.416,0:46:29.656
of the head, just bringing it in.

0:46:29.986,0:46:33.796
Optionally, maybe go CTRL R,[br]add in an extra loop here.

0:46:33.836,0:46:39.216
CTRL R hovering over this edge, see the yellow[br]line and double click A to select everything.

0:46:39.216,0:46:42.136
And then just with that smooth tool enabled,

0:46:42.316,0:46:45.496
just drag the little gizmo and[br]smooth it out a little bit.

0:46:45.496,0:46:50.056
So now we can select the scalp[br]and start turning into hair.

0:46:50.056,0:46:52.616
So let's just go to the face select option here.

0:46:52.896,0:46:55.676
And let's just double tap A to[br]deselect everything in edit mode.

0:46:55.676,0:47:00.546
And if you now press C on your keyboard,[br]so C. And you roll your middle mouse button

0:47:00.546,0:47:02.416
up you're going to have this[br]selection tool here.

0:47:02.606,0:47:06.136
So you can make it whatever size you[br]want by rolling the middle mouse button.

0:47:06.596,0:47:09.296
Then you can left click and[br]hold in the left click and drag,

0:47:09.896,0:47:12.946
and then select all of these parts like this.

0:47:12.946,0:47:14.666
Now remember this head isn't mirrored.

0:47:15.286,0:47:19.686
Okay, this head is mirrored, so you should[br]still make sure you have the x-ray enabled just

0:47:19.686,0:47:21.366
so you select all of the faces.

0:47:21.446,0:47:22.646
You don't want to miss any faces.

0:47:23.276,0:47:24.596
So I'm going to just do it again.

0:47:25.096,0:47:28.246
So any ones like this, just select them roughly.

0:47:29.016,0:47:32.786
And go Shift D to duplicate,[br]and then right click to let go.

0:47:33.546,0:47:36.856
Then you can go Alt-S, and[br]scale it out along the normal.

0:47:36.856,0:47:39.886
So Alt-S. Remember I talked[br]earlier about normals,

0:47:39.886,0:47:42.906
and how they're different[br]from just normal scaling.

0:47:42.906,0:47:46.016
So Alt-S instead of just S. And we want

0:47:46.016,0:47:48.566
to make this its own geometry,[br]it's no longer part of this.

0:47:48.566,0:47:51.816
And a simple way to do that is just while[br]that's still selected, you can press P.

0:47:51.816,0:47:53.696
And you're going to get the separate option.

0:47:53.696,0:47:55.336
You're going to go separate by selection.

0:47:55.476,0:47:57.236
Now this is actually a different object.

0:47:57.236,0:48:00.356
So we need to go back into object[br]mode, and now we get a click

0:48:00.356,0:48:02.476
on this object, and it's its own new object.

0:48:02.656,0:48:05.516
And we can tab into edit mode,[br]and now we only have this.

0:48:05.736,0:48:08.086
So I'm going to just disable the x-ray for now.

0:48:08.086,0:48:10.866
I'm going to go into my right orthographic[br]view, and what I'm going to do is I'm going

0:48:10.866,0:48:13.246
to go Alt-S even more with all of that selected.

0:48:13.246,0:48:16.606
Go to something like this, I'm going[br]to enable the proportional editing.

0:48:16.756,0:48:19.556
I'm going to go to the vertex select[br]option, and then I'm just going

0:48:19.556,0:48:21.226
to drag and select these verts here.

0:48:21.226,0:48:24.696
I'm going to go G, and move[br]them up to follow the reference.

0:48:24.696,0:48:27.856
So you can see what I'm doing[br]here, bringing this fringe forward.

0:48:28.136,0:48:30.006
Same with these ones here, very simple.

0:48:30.056,0:48:34.016
And then I'm going to select these[br]ones here, I'm going to go G,

0:48:34.016,0:48:36.516
and just bring them down,[br]and bring these forward.

0:48:36.576,0:48:38.226
So pretty simple stuff.

0:48:38.306,0:48:41.406
Then go into the front orthographic[br]view, and then select these ones here.

0:48:41.406,0:48:44.976
And then go G, and then just[br]move them out a little bit.

0:48:44.976,0:48:46.846
Doesn't have to be perfect,[br]but just more or less.

0:48:47.096,0:48:50.476
And then what we need to do is enable[br]the x-ray again, so we can see through.

0:48:50.706,0:48:54.716
Let's just select this bottom vertex[br]here, just this one by itself.

0:48:54.986,0:48:57.866
And then go G, Z. We still[br]have proportional editing,

0:48:58.076,0:49:01.226
and you should just roll it just[br]slightly and bring it up like that.

0:49:01.226,0:49:06.076
And then select this one down here, and[br]then G, and just move it down slightly.

0:49:06.366,0:49:09.176
So now if we enable the x-ray, you can see here.

0:49:09.316,0:49:11.656
That's what we have this[br]kind of cute looking fringe.

0:49:11.776,0:49:13.236
We're now going to just take this.

0:49:13.296,0:49:17.776
Just kind of roll it in like that towards[br]there, and while you have it selected hold

0:49:17.776,0:49:19.636
in shift, and then click on this vertex.

0:49:19.826,0:49:23.016
And then in this vertex, you have[br]three of them selected like a triangle.

0:49:23.016,0:49:27.386
And then if you press F, it'll add in[br]a face between all of those like that.

0:49:27.386,0:49:29.406
And then you're going to[br]select this vertex down here,

0:49:29.406,0:49:31.816
and we're going to go G,[br]and just move it up here.

0:49:32.216,0:49:36.056
Yours doesn't have to look exactly like that but[br]just something along those lines should be fine.

0:49:36.336,0:49:39.736
And then what you can do, click and[br]drag and select these bottom vertices

0:49:39.736,0:49:41.966
over here and go X, and delete vertices.

0:49:42.086,0:49:44.486
And now what we can do is we're[br]going to go to our modifiers.

0:49:44.486,0:49:46.796
We're going to give this[br]something called a solidify.

0:49:47.086,0:49:49.856
And now if you come to the[br]solidify, and you drag this value.

0:49:50.096,0:49:52.076
You can see we're adding a[br]bit of thickness to that.

0:49:52.076,0:49:56.176
Now you can't actually edit that thickness,[br]it's not actually geometry you can grab.

0:49:56.176,0:50:00.926
But you can still see the thickness even[br]if you edit the geometry here in edit mode.

0:50:01.046,0:50:01.746
Which is really cool.

0:50:01.746,0:50:02.906
So it's a modifier.

0:50:02.906,0:50:06.116
It's modifying the mesh in real[br]time while you're working with it.

0:50:06.406,0:50:08.136
So now let's go to our right orthographic view.

0:50:08.276,0:50:09.466
Let's enable x-ray again.

0:50:09.746,0:50:13.206
Let's just click and drag and select these[br]bottom verts over here, and let's just go G,

0:50:13.206,0:50:15.186
and move them down a bit and rotate them.

0:50:15.186,0:50:17.426
And I'm going to disable[br]proportional editing for now.

0:50:17.546,0:50:19.506
Then I'm going to go E, and I'm[br]going to extrude them down a bit.

0:50:19.506,0:50:21.086
Then I'm going to select this vertex here.

0:50:21.216,0:50:23.866
G to move it in a bit, and[br]this one here like that.

0:50:23.896,0:50:27.116
Select all of these again, and I'm[br]just going to continue E to extrude,

0:50:27.336,0:50:30.406
S to scale, E to extrude, S to scale.

0:50:30.626,0:50:36.136
Then I'm going to go into my back orthographic[br]view and instead of pressing 1 on a number pad.

0:50:36.296,0:50:40.796
You can hold in Ctrl or command and then[br]press 1, and now you're seeing the back.

0:50:40.796,0:50:43.226
Let's just try and model it from the back here.

0:50:43.226,0:50:44.556
I'm just going to grab that vertex.

0:50:44.756,0:50:48.636
And I'm just moving these out just to round[br]them out a little bit, moving this one in,

0:50:48.636,0:50:50.526
you don't have to do this precise.

0:50:50.606,0:50:51.556
But you get the idea here.

0:50:51.556,0:50:55.246
All we're trying to do is just even[br]out the verts here at the back.

0:50:55.246,0:50:57.286
So we kind of have the hair[br]just coming down like that.

0:50:57.286,0:50:59.516
Something very simple but it works.

0:51:00.006,0:51:03.006
And then if you wanted to, it's optional[br]you can add these little bits at the side.

0:51:03.076,0:51:07.396
A very simple way to do that is to go to[br]your edge select option up here in edit mode.

0:51:07.456,0:51:12.416
Select any edge up here go to your right[br]orthographic view, shift D to duplicate it,

0:51:12.606,0:51:17.616
enable the x-ray, and then G, move it[br]somewhere above where that hair should start.

0:51:17.616,0:51:21.056
And then E to extrude, S to scale, rotate.

0:51:21.366,0:51:27.696
E to extrude, S to scale, and then R to rotate,[br]and then E to extrude down, and then S to scale.

0:51:27.696,0:51:34.846
Go to your front view, and now you can select[br]these edges like that and you can move them

0:51:34.846,0:51:38.656
in a little bit, and edit them to make[br]them look nicer from the front as well,

0:51:38.786,0:51:41.566
and it still has that modifier on it now.

0:51:41.566,0:51:44.996
You can notice that this one here, if I[br]go to face select, and I select this face.

0:51:45.486,0:51:49.856
The solidify modifier here is[br]making this the effect come in.

0:51:49.946,0:51:53.976
But this one here, if I select the face,[br]the effect is happening towards the outside,

0:51:53.976,0:51:55.376
and that's got to do with the normals.

0:51:55.476,0:51:58.056
So what we may have to do in[br]this case is correct the normals.

0:51:58.056,0:52:01.576
I'm not going to get into why that happens,[br]it's a bit tricky to explain for beginners.

0:52:01.576,0:52:04.236
So just for now all you have to do[br]is press A to select everything.

0:52:04.336,0:52:08.496
Alt N, and then go recalculate outside or[br]inside depending on what the situation is.

0:52:08.496,0:52:11.286
So I'm going to go outside, and[br]now all of these should be the same

0:52:11.286,0:52:13.366
so I'm just going to select a face here.

0:52:13.366,0:52:15.386
Go Ctrl L to select the whole thing.

0:52:15.386,0:52:17.086
And then G and just move it out a bit.

0:52:17.086,0:52:19.636
You guys can adjust this however you want.

0:52:19.636,0:52:24.296
You don't have to do it exactly like me --[br]completely up to you how you want to do that.

0:52:24.466,0:52:28.256
And once you're happy with that,[br]you can also just select any vertex

0:52:28.256,0:52:33.416
of face Ctrl L. Select the whole thing and[br]then go shift D in the right orthographic view,

0:52:33.416,0:52:36.056
move it back and then slightly[br]edit the second piece,

0:52:36.096,0:52:38.966
and there you have these little hair[br]droopy things coming off the side,

0:52:39.176,0:52:41.616
and you know very, very simple.

0:52:41.616,0:52:45.936
So based on what I've just shown you guys,[br]you can make this however you want now

0:52:45.936,0:52:47.466
that you know the basic techniques.

0:52:47.706,0:52:50.846
But it's very boxy, very[br]stylized, very low poly.

0:52:50.846,0:52:53.746
But that's a nice look, and that's actually[br]what we're deliberately going for here.

0:52:53.746,0:52:54.486
So there we have it.

0:52:54.486,0:52:57.386
The character is pretty much[br]done; add a nose if you want.

0:52:57.386,0:53:00.316
But what we're going to do next is[br]we're going to add some nice colors

0:53:00.316,0:53:03.886
or materials what we call shaders,[br]and then we'll add some nice lights,

0:53:03.886,0:53:06.866
and I'll show you how you can render[br]this out as a nice looking result.

0:53:06.946,0:53:08.636
And then we're pretty much done.

0:53:08.636,0:53:12.736
So whenever we want to work with things,[br]remember our properties panel over here,

0:53:12.736,0:53:16.426
so remember, we have this one here[br]called the materials property.

0:53:16.426,0:53:18.286
I think I briefly mentioned[br]this in the very beginning.

0:53:18.476,0:53:22.956
but over here if you click on it, says material[br]properties here is we can actually add materials

0:53:23.246,0:53:24.586
and change their properties.

0:53:24.586,0:53:25.686
So how do you add a material?

0:53:25.686,0:53:26.936
It's actually very simple.

0:53:27.426,0:53:29.966
Let's just say you want to add[br]a material to a certain object,

0:53:29.966,0:53:32.096
you just simply left click on it in object mode.

0:53:32.716,0:53:34.296
So let's start with the body, all right.

0:53:34.296,0:53:37.106
And then you go over here and you[br]can see this button called new.

0:53:37.106,0:53:38.216
Now there's a little drop down here,

0:53:38.216,0:53:39.976
that's where pre-existing materials[br]are materials you already have.

0:53:41.236,0:53:45.066
Let's just go new and now it's created[br]the materials, given it a default name.

0:53:45.066,0:53:48.686
So you can actually double click here, or just[br]click on it the name, and call it something.

0:53:48.686,0:53:51.496
So I'm going to call it Yellow,[br]because I want it to be a yellow color.

0:53:51.696,0:53:54.386
And then over here you're going[br]to see something called a preview.

0:53:54.386,0:53:56.796
This is where you can actually[br]see a preview of your material

0:53:57.106,0:53:59.016
and under here is something you see the surface.

0:53:59.016,0:54:00.676
This is where you change[br]a whole bunch of settings.

0:54:00.676,0:54:04.786
Now I'm not actually going to get into all of[br]these settings here because that's a lot more

0:54:04.786,0:54:07.816
in depth, and this is something[br]you'll learn as you grow as an artist.

0:54:07.816,0:54:11.596
But for now, we're just going to look at nothing[br]more than the color, literally just the color.

0:54:11.596,0:54:12.766
At the moment, the color is white.

0:54:12.886,0:54:17.746
So we want yellow, so we click on this, and[br]we go and click on yellow or wherever we want.

0:54:17.746,0:54:21.426
Not only can you change saturations[br]here and colors, but you can also come

0:54:21.426,0:54:23.866
to the value slider and change the values.

0:54:23.896,0:54:27.876
So pretty simple not much more to say[br]than that, and now you have that material.

0:54:27.876,0:54:30.506
Now, obviously, you're not seeing it,[br]because you have to actually render,

0:54:30.506,0:54:34.606
so rendering is when we press Z on a keyboard,[br]and we can click on this option called rendered.

0:54:34.606,0:54:38.436
Now we're no longer seeing just[br]the shading viewport shading,

0:54:38.436,0:54:39.836
but we're seeing the actual material.

0:54:39.946,0:54:42.936
Now another thing to think about is[br]when you go up to your properties,

0:54:42.936,0:54:44.156
go up here to this little camera.

0:54:44.526,0:54:45.606
That's your render properties.

0:54:45.606,0:54:48.816
Currently there's an engine, a render[br]engine being used called Eevee.

0:54:48.936,0:54:50.836
That's more like a real-time rendering engine,

0:54:50.986,0:54:53.146
and we're going to change it[br]to something called Cycles.

0:54:53.146,0:54:57.146
Now I'm not going to really get into[br]the details here, Cycles does a lot more

0:54:57.146,0:55:00.006
like bounce sliding, ray tracing,[br]a lot more advanced things.

0:55:00.266,0:55:04.946
But if you have a GPU under[br]the device, you can enable it.

0:55:05.106,0:55:07.456
If you don't just leave it[br]at CPU, it's not a big deal.

0:55:07.456,0:55:11.226
This isn't really a render[br]processor intensive render anyway.

0:55:11.226,0:55:13.406
It's very low poly so probably doesn't matter.

0:55:13.466,0:55:14.886
So I'm changing mine to GPU.

0:55:14.886,0:55:16.496
We'll add lights in a bit.

0:55:16.496,0:55:20.456
But for now, I'm just going to go into the[br]material preview which is kind of like a mix

0:55:20.456,0:55:25.226
between the just standard viewport[br]solid shading and the render.

0:55:25.326,0:55:27.416
Co you can see here, we have the color.

0:55:27.416,0:55:28.166
So what we're going to do now.

0:55:28.166,0:55:30.166
Let's go back to our materials properties.

0:55:30.266,0:55:32.906
We have that shirt still selected or the body.

0:55:33.136,0:55:34.826
And remember we added that yellow material.

0:55:34.826,0:55:36.126
What if we want to add more?

0:55:36.126,0:55:40.976
So let's just tab into edit mode, and let's[br]just say, for example, let's just go Ctrl R,

0:55:41.426,0:55:44.226
add in a loop here double[br]click, double G to slide,

0:55:44.646,0:55:47.026
and then alt S to scale out along the normals.

0:55:47.296,0:55:47.976
Maybe move it up a bit.

0:55:48.046,0:55:50.026
Let's just say we want to[br]add a little border here.

0:55:50.026,0:55:55.286
so what we can do, go to your face select, and[br]then going shift alt with face select enabled.

0:55:55.286,0:55:59.226
You can just shift alt click on this edge over[br]here, and it'll loop select these faces here,

0:55:59.226,0:56:02.326
and now what you can do is come[br]here under your materials property.

0:56:02.326,0:56:05.506
Click on the plus again, and now you[br]have a new thing here, you can go new.

0:56:05.776,0:56:07.556
And let's just call it red, for example.

0:56:07.696,0:56:12.736
And now we can go assign while those[br]faces are selected, and has that material.

0:56:13.156,0:56:17.806
Now, we called it red, but we still have to[br]come to the surface here, and just like we did

0:56:17.806,0:56:20.556
with the yellow, come to the[br]base color and give it a color.

0:56:20.556,0:56:22.026
I'm going to go with an orangey kind of red,

0:56:22.026,0:56:24.526
so I'm going to quickly tab[br]back out into object mode.

0:56:24.626,0:56:29.346
And now I'm going to select the shirt, and[br]instead of this time still on the materials tab,

0:56:29.346,0:56:30.896
instead of coming creating a new material.

0:56:30.896,0:56:35.496
Let's just go to this drop down and create get[br]the existing yellow, and then what we can do

0:56:35.496,0:56:39.666
as well is tab into edit mode,[br]and then click on the plus here.

0:56:39.776,0:56:41.546
And we can create a new one, and once again,

0:56:41.546,0:56:44.046
we can just go down and select[br]a pre-existing color.

0:56:44.046,0:56:44.846
So I'm going to go through red.

0:56:45.366,0:56:49.146
And this time if I wanted to be assigned[br]to something, I have to actually select it.

0:56:49.146,0:56:52.026
So I'm going to click on[br]a face here on the sleeve,

0:56:52.026,0:56:54.726
I'm going to go control L[br]to select the whole thing.

0:56:54.816,0:56:56.846
And then click on the red and then assign.

0:56:57.396,0:56:58.436
How simple is that.

0:56:58.736,0:57:01.336
Now let's create a new thing,[br]which is going to be the skin.

0:57:01.336,0:57:04.576
So let's just left click on the[br]hand, or on any face on the hand.

0:57:04.576,0:57:06.286
Go control L to select the whole thing.

0:57:06.406,0:57:09.426
Then let's click plus over here, and this[br]time we're going to create a new material.

0:57:09.876,0:57:10.806
Let's just call it skin.

0:57:10.806,0:57:15.376
And now we can go to the surface, and let's[br]just give it something like a brownish blush.

0:57:15.376,0:57:18.986
I want to go for almost like[br]a brown olive kind of color.

0:57:18.986,0:57:22.686
And then I'm going to go assign, you can make[br]your skin whatever you want, perfectly fine.

0:57:22.846,0:57:24.086
So now we have that there.

0:57:24.086,0:57:25.256
I'm going to tab out.

0:57:25.256,0:57:28.406
And now we can actually select[br]the head, and go to the drop down.

0:57:28.406,0:57:30.076
And we already now have that skin.

0:57:30.076,0:57:30.816
So let's select it.

0:57:31.006,0:57:34.686
Let's just also select the ear, go to[br]the drop down, give it that same skin.

0:57:34.856,0:57:38.286
Select the neck, go to that[br]drop down, give it the skin.

0:57:38.386,0:57:39.836
And let's select the hair.

0:57:39.836,0:57:42.546
Now the hair we haven't created a[br]material for, so let's click on the hair,

0:57:42.686,0:57:44.996
create a new material, and call it hair.

0:57:45.236,0:57:46.836
And let's just come to the base color.

0:57:46.836,0:57:50.446
I'm going to go with a brownish kind[br]of red like that, and there I have it.

0:57:50.806,0:57:51.886
And that's now the hair.

0:57:52.156,0:57:54.146
So let's go to the legs.

0:57:54.146,0:57:54.876
Let's click on the legs.

0:57:55.246,0:57:58.516
Let's go new I'm going to call this blue.

0:57:58.516,0:58:03.066
And I'm going to make it kind of like a[br]robin's egg kind of blue, like cyan almost.

0:58:03.166,0:58:08.916
Then I'm going to click on the plus again, go[br]new, and I'm going to call this one darker blue.

0:58:09.216,0:58:13.336
And if I want to assign it to any specific[br]part, we have to go into edit mode.

0:58:13.486,0:58:17.266
In this case, I'm going to make[br]sure face select is enabled.

0:58:17.266,0:58:18.656
I'm going to go shift alt.

0:58:19.226,0:58:22.106
Click on this edge over here[br]to loop select these faces.

0:58:22.816,0:58:26.246
Ctrl plus or command plus to[br]grow the selection just once.

0:58:26.366,0:58:27.836
So we have this part here selected.

0:58:27.956,0:58:30.146
I'm going to click on the[br]dark blue and go assign,

0:58:30.856,0:58:35.366
and then under the base color let's make it[br]something that fits the description, like that.

0:58:35.366,0:58:37.086
And the exact same thing for the rest.

0:58:37.086,0:58:40.716
In fact, I'm going to turn on my x-ray[br]here and I'm just going to click and drag,

0:58:40.716,0:58:42.526
and just select these bottom faces.

0:58:42.556,0:58:43.346
They're all selected.

0:58:43.516,0:58:47.086
And I'm going to do the same thing, I'm going[br]to come here plus, I'm going to go assign,

0:58:47.086,0:58:51.576
I'm going to click new, and I'm going to make[br]this like a leathery kind of brown color,

0:58:51.696,0:58:54.306
bring that value down and there you have it.

0:58:54.586,0:58:55.506
Pretty cool.

0:58:55.506,0:58:57.906
And you can even click on[br]here and name it something.

0:58:57.906,0:59:00.806
I'm going to call it leather,[br]and there we have it.

0:59:00.926,0:59:02.406
How simple is that.

0:59:02.406,0:59:05.206
I'm going to go back into object[br]mode, and now we've added all

0:59:05.206,0:59:06.926
of these materials as you can see.

0:59:06.966,0:59:09.436
Once again, if you want to see[br]this, you actually have to press Z

0:59:09.436,0:59:12.166
and go into material preview like I said.

0:59:12.166,0:59:13.676
So there you have it.

0:59:13.676,0:59:17.106
So press Z and go into either[br]rendered or material preview.

0:59:17.106,0:59:19.586
So now all we have to do[br]is just render this out.

0:59:19.716,0:59:22.926
We've already gone to our render[br]engine and given it the cycles engine.

0:59:22.926,0:59:24.526
But we do need to add some lights.

0:59:24.526,0:59:27.896
So let's go shift A and we've[br]been adding meshes before.

0:59:27.896,0:59:29.686
But let's go down to our lights.

0:59:30.256,0:59:34.866
Add in this thing called an area[br]light, and we're going to go G Z

0:59:34.866,0:59:36.816
and move it just like we've moved anything else.

0:59:36.816,0:59:37.836
I'm going to move it up to here.

0:59:38.036,0:59:40.006
So we've moved it up on the Z axis.

0:59:40.666,0:59:42.706
And then we're going to go R,[br]and we're going to rotate it.

0:59:43.026,0:59:43.576
Like this.

0:59:43.756,0:59:44.966
And then G to move it.

0:59:44.966,0:59:48.766
Now you can pick whatever lighting[br]direction you want once you have a position

0:59:48.766,0:59:51.406
where you want your light to come[br]from, go over to your properties.

0:59:51.406,0:59:53.646
And you're going to see this little light[br]bulb, and that's your light settings.

0:59:53.646,0:59:56.106
And why is this our properties[br]like I've mentioned before,

0:59:56.106,0:59:58.016
because we edit our properties here.

0:59:58.096,1:00:01.976
So you can go to the power and just as you[br]might assume that's got to do with the strength.

1:00:02.096,1:00:06.956
So the more you put this level up here, the[br]watts, the more power you're going to get.

1:00:07.106,1:00:08.266
Pretty common sense.

1:00:08.416,1:00:11.896
And then also the size that's going[br]to make it a bit of a softer light.

1:00:12.046,1:00:16.276
The smaller you have that, the point of[br]the light, just like you do in real life,

1:00:16.276,1:00:17.406
you're going to have a sharper light.

1:00:17.496,1:00:20.646
And the broader the light is[br]and closer to the subject here,

1:00:20.646,1:00:21.996
it's going to be a bit more scattered.

1:00:21.996,1:00:25.496
So I like to increase the size a[br]little bit bigger than the default.

1:00:25.606,1:00:30.086
Something like that, and if we now go Z and[br]we go rendered, we can see we have this light.

1:00:30.086,1:00:33.956
So it's up to you how much you want to[br]tweak the power amount here for your light.

1:00:33.956,1:00:34.956
You can drag it up as much as you want.

1:00:35.156,1:00:38.526
You can even change the color of[br]your light to give it some mood.

1:00:38.636,1:00:39.616
Very simple stuff.

1:00:39.676,1:00:43.286
But once you're happy with it you can[br]also go shift D with that light selected

1:00:43.346,1:00:44.996
to duplicate it like anything else.

1:00:45.096,1:00:49.486
And then rotate it, and you can duplicate[br]and make as many of these lights as you want.

1:00:49.706,1:00:53.416
So I'm happy with that I'm going to go shift[br]A, I'm going to add in one more object.

1:00:53.416,1:00:55.386
And that's just a plane on the floor here.

1:00:55.476,1:00:59.656
I'm going to go S to scale that plane up[br]like that, and then tab into edit mode.

1:00:59.656,1:01:04.176
And I'm just going to go into my solid[br]work press a Z and then go solid.

1:01:04.426,1:01:05.706
And you can go to your edge select.

1:01:05.826,1:01:10.196
Select this back edge, and then go E,[br]Z and extrude it up on a Z like that.

1:01:10.446,1:01:15.576
Select this edge here, and then you can go[br]Ctrl B and Ctrl B allows you to make a bevel

1:01:15.576,1:01:18.706
on an edge you can move it as big[br]as you want by moving your mouse,

1:01:18.736,1:01:21.356
and then roll your middle mouse[br]button to add in more segments.

1:01:21.356,1:01:23.086
And then just double click and it's added in.

1:01:23.256,1:01:27.556
Now you can go back into object mode,[br]and you have this nice fancy backdrop,

1:01:27.626,1:01:29.866
and you can see here in our scene is a camera.

1:01:29.866,1:01:31.326
So you can literally click on that camera.

1:01:31.586,1:01:36.176
And with a camera active you can press zero on[br]your number pad, and it goes into camera view.

1:01:36.396,1:01:40.436
And then with that camera selected you can[br]double tap R and as you move your mouse,

1:01:40.466,1:01:41.766
you can actually rotate the camera.

1:01:42.066,1:01:45.396
If you press R by itself, you[br]can rotate just like this.

1:01:45.696,1:01:48.936
And then you can press G[br]and G allows you to move it.

1:01:48.936,1:01:54.356
So you just press G and move the camera to[br]where you want it, and then you can just

1:01:54.356,1:01:56.496
like anything else, you can[br]come to your move tool,

1:01:56.496,1:02:00.996
and you can just move these little sliders,[br]or you can just press G like we've been doing.

1:02:00.996,1:02:05.116
So G, and then Y to move along[br]the Y or Z, whatever you want.

1:02:05.116,1:02:08.646
And if you want to go change the[br]dimensions, just go to your output here.

1:02:08.836,1:02:10.406
And you can change your resolution.

1:02:10.406,1:02:11.306
So these are the pixels.

1:02:11.306,1:02:13.946
So 1020 by 1080 by 1920 here.

1:02:13.946,1:02:18.636
I'm just going to drag this value here down a[br]bit, just to make it a bit of a different ratio.

1:02:18.886,1:02:19.526
Just like that.

1:02:19.526,1:02:23.206
And then I'm going to just move my camera[br]in a little bit, something like that.

1:02:23.206,1:02:24.956
You can also come here to your camera settings.

1:02:24.986,1:02:28.186
I'm not going to get into all the advanced[br]things here there's a lot that can be said.

1:02:28.316,1:02:31.956
But just as a beginner here, let's just[br]go to the focal length and change that.

1:02:31.956,1:02:34.616
So if so those of you who are[br]familiar with photography,

1:02:34.616,1:02:36.726
a lot of this would make more sense to you.

1:02:36.796,1:02:40.236
But once again it's not what we're[br]focusing on here as this is more just

1:02:40.236,1:02:44.256
about a very beginner's tutorial for[br]the modeling and things like that.

1:02:44.256,1:02:47.916
So here we have our camera set up, we[br]have our scene, we're pretty much done.

1:02:47.916,1:02:50.346
So let's just select these two reference images.

1:02:50.346,1:02:51.376
I'm holding in shift.

1:02:51.446,1:02:53.286
And remember these collections I told you about.

1:02:53.466,1:02:58.706
If we now go M and we go new collection[br]after we selected those two reference images,

1:02:58.706,1:03:01.976
we can go ref type whatever you[br]want in here, and then go okay.

1:03:01.976,1:03:05.536
And under your collections here now, if[br]you just drop down this main collection,

1:03:05.536,1:03:07.556
you can now see a collection called ref.

1:03:07.756,1:03:09.076
And now two references in there.

1:03:09.076,1:03:10.906
We can just untick it and[br]they're out of the way.

1:03:10.906,1:03:13.156
So they're not deleted, but[br]they're just out of the way

1:03:13.156,1:03:15.316
so if we want to ever bring them back, we can.

1:03:15.656,1:03:19.236
But that just organizes our scene[br]a little bit and there you have it.

1:03:19.236,1:03:22.066
We now have this, if we press[br]Z and we go rendered,

1:03:22.396,1:03:25.656
we have our subject in the[br]view here of the camera.

1:03:25.786,1:03:30.156
And another cool thing you can do in camera[br]view you can go Ctrl b and then click and drag,

1:03:30.156,1:03:34.466
and drag over the camera with Ctrl b. And it's[br]just going to limit that render to the camera,

1:03:34.596,1:03:38.366
and that's going to free up a little[br]bit of your processing as well.

1:03:38.536,1:03:39.746
So there we have it.

1:03:39.746,1:03:43.196
A fantastic looking low poly model[br]that you guys can be proud of.

1:03:43.196,1:03:44.536
I hope you've enjoyed this.

1:03:44.536,1:03:48.206
And what you can do now is[br]press z go back into solid mode.

1:03:48.296,1:03:50.276
And all you have to do is[br]go to render, render image,

1:03:50.276,1:03:52.356
and it's going to render this image for you.

1:03:52.526,1:03:57.036
And in fact, I'll quickly just press escape[br]to cancel this because I forgot to mention.

1:03:57.186,1:04:00.876
Under your render settings, just click[br]on that and go down to the render,

1:04:01.096,1:04:05.076
and take the sample amount down to[br]something like 80, because if you have it

1:04:05.076,1:04:07.356
at 4000 whatever, it's going[br]to take forever to render.

1:04:07.356,1:04:09.546
So the more samples, the higher the quality is,

1:04:09.616,1:04:12.176
but if you have this little[br]thing the denoiser enabled,

1:04:12.386,1:04:16.156
Blender's algorithm does a pretty good job at[br]getting the noise out after you've rendered.

1:04:16.156,1:04:18.886
So just make sure you do that[br]and then go render, render image,

1:04:19.216,1:04:20.686
and we'll see what that looks like.

1:04:20.686,1:04:25.286
So you can see here, this little sample[br]count, it's 48 samples out of 80.

1:04:25.436,1:04:27.886
Okay, it's just finished,[br]it's out of the denoising.

1:04:27.966,1:04:28.716
And there it is.

1:04:28.716,1:04:31.296
Now what you can do is you[br]can go to image, save as,

1:04:31.296,1:04:33.686
