00:00Hello everybody, welcome back, or welcome to the video, if this is the first one you've watched.
00:06I'll tell you to watch the first intro, just so you understand exactly what I'm doing,
00:11just to make sure you are interested in learning what I'm doing.
00:14I'll try to keep it as fast as easy as possible, so we're going to set up the library,
00:19and then we're going to set up the cameras, right?
00:22I will do, honestly, I will do it as fast as I can for you, and as easy as possible.
00:27I don't use short cookies, just so you understand that.
00:30So you open Blender, right?
00:32You start with a box, right click, and let's delete that.
00:35Okay, so here we go.
00:36I'm going to go over here, if you want to, you can go here,
00:42and now what we're doing first, we're going to import the character, just to start with,
00:47just so we've got something to look at on the screen.
00:50Now, you can import the model whenever you want, okay?
00:54I'm going to import a glyph file, number two.
00:57Because that's the new file for the map.
00:59So, yeah, I'll go to my D drive, I'm going to look down my menu, I'll go to Emma,
01:04I'm going to load Emma at age 12, right?
01:08I'm going to leave that in the rest post, so I'll press load, and load Emma straight into the scene.
01:14Give me a second.
01:15Okay, here's Emma, right?
01:17In order to see this part, I'll make sure you want to send it.
01:20I'm going to drop the box, while you click delete, right?
01:23Go here, and turn on textures.
01:26Now you can see the character, right?
01:29Now, I like to show my bones in a different way.
01:32There's two ways you can do it.
01:33You can go here, you can go to bones, you can go to display, and you can put the bones
01:38in front.
01:39Yeah, it's kind of great, but it kind of gets on your nerves as well.
01:44I don't want to do that.
01:46Okay, if you come in here, and there's a bubble all over it, that's the names.
01:50As I said, it's up to you, whatever here you want to turn on, you can turn on.
01:55I like to go here, I'll just make sure this one's turned on.
01:58I'll leave these two shapes on, that's what I'll do.
02:00And I'll turn the bones off.
02:02Why do I turn the bones off?
02:04I turn them off for some reason, if I want to see her bones, I click the skeleton, and I
02:10press this.
02:11Right?
02:12Not that one.
02:13I press the actual bones themselves.
02:15You see?
02:16I'll just zoom in, and I'll show you.
02:19When you press the skeleton, you press that.
02:22Right?
02:22If you're doing that, that looks good.
02:23Right?
02:24That's just so you understand that.
02:26Okay?
02:27Go here, press pose.
02:30Now, if I press this, and press this, I can actually see the bones.
02:34I don't have to go over here, and put the bones in front, because I don't need to do that.
02:39See here?
02:40I don't need to turn it on and off, because I'm turning it on and off here.
02:45It's just easier.
02:46As I said, you can use that what you want to do.
02:48As I said, I'll try to press this, and I'll go into here, select my armature, and I'll turn it
02:55on and turn it off.
02:56Now, of course, when I'm doing my lip syncing and things like that, when I am doing that, this is
03:02what I like to do.
03:02I like to go into object mode.
03:04I turn that invisible, because it makes it easier to put a lip sync when you do your lip sync
03:12later on.
03:13Okay?
03:13So, for now, we're going to turn it off.
03:15Okay, this is our character.
03:17Okay, first, we want to make an archive for her.
03:20So, I like to use my download folder.
03:23See here?
03:23This is my download folder.
03:25I'll bring it in the screen for you.
03:26As you can see, downloads.
03:28Right?
03:29So, what I'm going to do, I'm going to go here.
03:31And I'm going to create myself a new archive.
03:34Right?
03:35So, of course, I can do it here, or I can do it down here.
03:38I can go here, hold this, drag it up.
03:41Are you with me?
03:43Great.
03:43Okay?
03:44Now, if you go next to that, go right next to it, so you turn it to an X, and
03:49put it down.
03:50You can put it over that, by accident.
03:52Go on top of it.
03:54Go to the bottom, and close it.
03:56Put it, and put it down.
03:58You've got two menus.
04:00Right?
04:00Pull this one up.
04:01Pull this one up a little bit.
04:04Okay?
04:04This gives you two menus.
04:06This one is your animation, and this one is for your poses.
04:10Right?
04:11Go here.
04:13I'm going to change this one.
04:15Click that.
04:18When I do this, he always does that.
04:20Go here.
04:21Go over here, and press assets.
04:24Here's my assets.
04:26Right?
04:27Of course, now you see here, I've got a friend.
04:29It's called Emma.
04:30Right?
04:31I want to create a new friend.
04:32It's like Emma.
04:33Okay?
04:33I want to show you how to do it.
04:35Okay?
04:36That's what I can do if I want to do it that way.
04:38Okay?
04:39So, what I want to do, I want to create a new asset folder.
04:44That's what I'm planning on doing.
04:45If I go here, and go to my downloads, I'll make a new box.
04:52And I'll call it E12.
04:56So, it's got a different name.
04:58Right?
04:58E12.
04:59Okay?
05:00I'm going to copy the name.
05:01Two clicks, and I'll copy the name.
05:03Now, in order for Blender to find this file, if I go to Blender, Properties.
05:10Okay?
05:12When you go in here, scroll down.
05:15Okay?
05:15I'll just show you that one last time.
05:17You press Edit.
05:18Properties.
05:20You should tell Blender where that file is.
05:22Right?
05:23So, you put the file wherever you want to put it.
05:26So, if you want to put it in my documents, you can put it in my documents.
05:29You can put it absolutely anywhere.
05:31Normally, I put the files inside the Blender folder, depending on which version of Blender
05:37I'm actually using.
05:38Okay?
05:39So, anyway, go to the file.
05:40As you can see, you can see the file here.
05:42E12.
05:43I can go here, and I'll remove that.
05:45Right?
05:46So, if you add it, go here.
05:48It's going to ask you, where is your file?
05:50My file is in downloads.
05:52Click Downloads, press that, and press OK.
05:55Okay?
05:57Now, as you can see, I've got a brand new file.
05:59We can add it, and we can delete it.
06:01Go back here.
06:03Because of what we're inside, just press Add, and it adds it to your library.
06:08I mean, great.
06:09Don't forget to go here, and save the Preferences.
06:13Okay?
06:13So, this is how you teach you your main file for all of the assets.
06:17Okay?
06:17So, pull this off, by the way, for a moment, and pull this off.
06:19Just so you can actually see what you're doing.
06:22Okay?
06:22Now, go here.
06:25And what you want to do, is not tell in the menu, and see what's in the menu.
06:30You'll see this one.
06:32E12.
06:34That's your new file.
06:35Say yeah.
06:36Okay?
06:37E12 does nothing inside it.
06:39Okay?
06:39We can go here.
06:41Just make sure there's nothing else in there.
06:43Okay?
06:44If nothing else in there, right?
06:45Perfect.
06:46But sometimes, when you click this, it says, use this location.
06:51That's what it says sometimes.
06:52Okay?
06:53Just make sure your file goes here.
06:54We'll find out if it works in a moment.
06:57Okay?
06:57So, what we're going to do, we're going to put it down.
07:00I'm going to put it down.
07:02Now, what I'm going to do, I'm going to set my camera up at this point.
07:05Okay?
07:06So, the file now should be completely fully working.
07:08If there's any reason, it won't, I'll fix it as I'm going along with you.
07:13That's the simple process.
07:15Right?
07:15We get the character in, we make a new file.
07:17Got it?
07:18Hopefully, you got it.
07:20Okay.
07:20Now, we want to set up the camera.
07:22So, let's pretend we go in a scene, and we'll pretend there's no light and no camera.
07:28Okay?
07:28It's a brand new scene.
07:29Right?
07:31Just make sure it's in object mode.
07:33Go here, and add that camera.
07:37There's the camera.
07:38Okay?
07:39Now, what I'm going to do, I'm going to click it, and I'm going to call it,
07:43and then, what?
07:46This is my body camera.
07:48Right?
07:48Now, what I want to do, I want to lock the camera to the body.
07:52That's what I want to do.
07:54Now, some people don't do it this way, I do it this way.
07:57Right?
07:57That's my body camera.
07:58To look for the camera, you can either click that, or you can just double-click that.
08:03Okay?
08:04So, I'm going to go here, click this.
08:06Now, in order to see your character, just zoom out.
08:10If you're best to zoom, look, it zooms the actual camera.
08:13Yeah, not bad.
08:14So, go here.
08:16Go to view.
08:18Pick your little box.
08:19Pick your character's body.
08:22And tick, lock the camera to that.
08:25Okay?
08:26Zoom back out.
08:26And now, your camera will zoom in.
08:30Drag it down.
08:31Gosh, we lock the camera.
08:33Now, when we zoom, we zoom the character.
08:36If you turn it off, we'll zoom the whole entire lot.
08:40Okay?
08:40Leave it turned on.
08:42Okay?
08:42Position your character for a body shot.
08:45Okay?
08:46So, it doesn't matter which angle she's on.
08:48Just kind of stick her somewhere in it.
08:50Okay?
08:51So, that's my body camera.
08:52Right?
08:53Of course, I can zoom a little bit more than that.
08:55So, I want to stick her something like that.
08:59Okay?
08:59Now, in future, I can totally ignore the camera.
09:03Come back out of it.
09:04The camera's there.
09:05I don't have to worry with the camera no more.
09:07Because I'm just leaving it there.
09:09If it's in the way, we can just go here.
09:12Turn it off.
09:13You can't see, but it can be seen in the render.
09:17Okay?
09:18If you want to see and not show it in the render, just un-tick that one.
09:22That one shows it in the render.
09:23Okay?
09:24So, I want to turn it off because I don't want to see.
09:26Okay?
09:27I don't want to see the camera.
09:28I want to be able to see the character.
09:30Okay?
09:30Now, what I want to do is go back in.
09:33I'm going to add a second camera.
09:36And this one is going to be for the face.
09:40And why do I want a face camera?
09:41The face camera, the idea of that.
09:45You see the settings already turned on?
09:48I'll go to it.
09:50Check it.
09:51Make sure the settings are turned on.
09:52They are turned on because I've got it on the first camera.
09:55Right?
09:55Open the green bar.
09:57Look through the camera.
09:59Okay?
10:00Turn on the camera.
10:01Make sure it's on Emma.
10:03Make sure it's on lock the camera.
10:04Zoom back in.
10:06And then go up.
10:09Check the camera.
10:10Zoom back in.
10:12To as close as you want to go.
10:15Something like this.
10:16Because this is for the face expressions.
10:18So I want to call it a half-turner.
10:21Go to the rear somewhere.
10:22Turn her a bit more.
10:25I'll say just call it a lot the way you want it.
10:28We have that here.
10:29I'll say if you want more control.
10:31Just use that button there.
10:34I'll say it'll be perfect.
10:36Just as long as you can see what's going on.
10:38Okay?
10:39So this is for the face shot.
10:41It's already all set.
10:42I'll come back out of it.
10:44Okay.
10:44Now the only thing I've got to do is save the file.
10:47Right?
10:48So go over here.
10:50Save it as.
10:51Now it's going to ask you where you want to save it.
10:53Go to tablets.
10:54Open the same file.
10:56And give it the same name.
10:59E12.
11:00Save it.
11:02Now in future when you close it like that.
11:04And open it back up.
11:05This is exactly what you're going to see.
11:07Okay?
11:07So now we're going to save our very first animation scene.
11:11Our animation.
11:12Anyway.
11:13We're going to save the pose.
11:15However you want to look at it.
11:17Okay?
11:17Click on your character.
11:18Go back into pose mode.
11:20If you want to see the bones.
11:22Turn them on.
11:23Select the whole character.
11:25Right click.
11:27Insert animation.
11:29Right click.
11:30Insert.
11:31And I like to use.
11:32Visual location and rotation.
11:35So yeah.
11:36It puts together a dot.
11:37Right on your screen.
11:39That's her standard A pose.
11:41Now.
11:42How do you keep the animation?
11:43Now of course you can pull these out.
11:46This one shows you your photo.
11:48We can take the photo.
11:50Pull this one out.
11:52It says create the pose asset.
11:54Yeah you can.
11:55But I don't use that.
11:57Ideally.
11:58Instead of using this one.
11:59I just press that.
12:01Okay.
12:02Now if you look here.
12:03When you press it.
12:04It says here.
12:06It's all grey.
12:07It's not working.
12:09I think you know yeah.
12:11Where's my file?
12:11Now like I said to you.
12:13Sometimes you have to go here.
12:15And now look here.
12:17It says current file.
12:19If you go here.
12:21And it's grey.
12:23You need to turn this on.
12:25You would have to do it one time.
12:26Okay.
12:27If I press this.
12:27It still won't do it.
12:28Because look.
12:29It's turned off.
12:30Okay.
12:31You have to go here.
12:32You have to tell blender.
12:34To use that folder.
12:36Okay.
12:36This is used now.
12:37My animation already set.
12:38It's there.
12:40I'm going to save it.
12:41Create animation.
12:42Oh look at that.
12:44Now if you look at it.
12:45It's not bad.
12:46Well if you look at it.
12:48Because I'm looking through the camera.
12:52I've got a face shot.
12:55Of my entire character.
12:57Hmm.
12:58Not quite right.
12:59Right.
13:00Okay.
13:00So you come this slide.
13:02Okay.
13:03On this slide.
13:03If you bring it out.
13:04You have to bring this out.
13:05So you can see.
13:06Okay.
13:07You want to change your character's name anyway.
13:09So what I'm going to do.
13:10I'm going to change this.
13:11This is how you change the name for that.
13:14We're going to call it E.
13:16And this.
13:17I'm going to call it E.P.
13:20And it's pose A.
13:23That's what it's called.
13:24So the name changes.
13:26Okay.
13:26Come down here.
13:28And then you see the photo.
13:30Now if I press refresh.
13:32Because I'm looking through.
13:33This camera.
13:35This one here.
13:37I'll show you.
13:37See that.
13:39We're going to open this up.
13:40And we're going to look through this camera.
13:42Go back in.
13:43Check it.
13:44Okay.
13:44I want that.
13:45Now watch what happens.
13:46Now the photo's okay.
13:47Watch what happens.
13:48I'll press refresh.
13:49Oh look at that.
13:50The photo's changed.
13:51Because this is a full body shot of character.
13:55Now it's not too bad.
13:56Oh dear.
13:58I want a bit of colour in there.
13:59I want it to look like that.
14:01I think okay.
14:01And to do that.
14:03What you want to do is go over to.
14:05Go to your printer.
14:07Change this to about 512.
14:08512.
14:10Okay.
14:10You don't have to too big.
14:11It's only a little thumbnail.
14:13Okay.
14:13So just go here.
14:14512.
14:15512.
14:16Just keep it nice and even.
14:18Okay.
14:18Now you can scroll down.
14:21And there's nothing down there.
14:23You don't have to do nothing here.
14:24Right.
14:24Press this.
14:26I think it's this one.
14:27Is it?
14:27No it's not.
14:28It's a TV screen.
14:29I apologize.
14:30So go here.
14:31Go to the top.
14:32It says 512.
14:33512.
14:34Go to the TV screen.
14:35I apologize for that.
14:36Scroll down.
14:38And you'll see still.
14:40Turn this on.
14:41And turn on transparency.
14:43The transparency will give you a clear background.
14:46Now watch what happens.
14:48Because I chose this one.
14:50Right.
14:51When I go to render.
14:54I go to render image.
14:58You can see my character.
14:59Now of course with task.
15:00Because there's no light in the scene.
15:02Right.
15:03So of course.
15:04I can add a light in here if I want to.
15:06I've got the sun light on the screen.
15:08I'll come back out of standard mode.
15:11I can pick where I want the light.
15:13It's really different to me.
15:14So I'll go here.
15:16I'm going to add.
15:18Add.
15:19Add a light.
15:20You can add whatever you want.
15:22I'm going to go add a light.
15:23And see how that looks.
15:24Let's go here.
15:25Go into that.
15:29Not really.
15:30Okay.
15:31Leave the light where it is.
15:32Go open the light.
15:34Just two clicks.
15:36You'll see that what you're doing.
15:37I'm going to change the lot.
15:39To the sun.
15:40Go back to render.
15:43There you go.
15:45Okay.
15:45It depends where you put the light.
15:47Depends on how your character looks.
15:48Right.
15:49So obviously.
15:51I'm going to be showing you how to add the lights.
15:53And whatever else you want to do.
15:55Ideally you put the light over here somewhere.
15:57That's how you would do it.
15:59Okay.
15:59So I'm not here to add the light in.
16:01I'm not here to add anything else.
16:03Except the way to do it.
16:04Okay.
16:04So I'm not going to do that.
16:06So I'm going to render it.
16:07I'll go back here.
16:08Render.
16:09Render the shot.
16:11Right.
16:12Did you just shot for your character?
16:13I'm moving over because the sun is going on the green.
16:16Okay.
16:17Go to save the image.
16:18Save it as.
16:20Of course I want to call it that.
16:23EPA.
16:24Right.
16:26So you go here.
16:28I want to call it EPA.
16:30EPA.
16:32Okay.
16:33Of course I want to save that wherever I want to save it.
16:37In my case.
16:38Downloads.
16:39Open the file.
16:41And save it in there.
16:43Okay.
16:43I can close this.
16:44Now I need to change the image.
16:46Go back to your file.
16:47Whichever one you're working on.
16:49Go here.
16:50And load the image.
16:52Oh look at that.
16:53Now that's how you change the actual image for your character.
16:57Okay.
16:58So as I said.
16:59If you want to get a half decent looking printer.
17:03Set the size of it.
17:04Whatever size you want.
17:05You don't want it too big because the box itself is only tiny.
17:09Right.
17:09So bag 512.
17:11Set a bag.
17:11Okay.
17:12Go to here.
17:13And if you don't turn this on.
17:15You'll have a great background.
17:17Right.
17:18If you turn it on.
17:19You'll have a clear background.
17:21Right.
17:21I don't want a background.
17:23So I want to get rid of it.
17:24Okay.
17:25So that's my very first character.
17:27So now you've just learned how to settle your pose library.
17:32And you've also learned how to set up the camera.
17:35And maybe a light.
17:37What I'm going to do with the light.
17:38Just to show you this.
17:40I'm going to turn the character side base.
17:42I'm going to make sure to object mode.
17:44I'm going to go here.
17:45I'm going to add the plane.
17:48I'm going to move.
17:50And I'm going to put the light over here somewhere.
17:54Right there.
17:54And what I'm going to do.
17:55I'm going to pull this over.
17:58I'm going to put this up there somewhere.
18:00So I'm going to go back to top of you.
18:02Make sure where it is.
18:05Zoom out a little bit.
18:06Put it over.
18:07Okay.
18:07I want to get it somewhere right there.
18:09So once I'm happy where it is.
18:11You see the target.
18:14I want to move the target.
18:17I want to go here.
18:18I want to set the cursor.
18:20Cursor to free geology.
18:22Right.
18:23Now that's wrong.
18:24I don't want it there.
18:25So I'll do that.
18:27Right click.
18:28Snap.
18:30The cursor to active.
18:32So the cursor comes from there to there.
18:35Go here.
18:36Set origin.
18:37Origin to geometry.
18:39Now what I can do is go here.
18:41And I can add myself.
18:43A point light.
18:44A sunlight.
18:45Doesn't matter.
18:46Let's add a funny way.
18:47And now you want to go here.
18:49And you want to turn it in the direction of your character.
18:53Go back into render.
18:54You just check it.
18:58You see the photo?
19:00Looks a whole lot nicer.
19:02Because the light's not actually on the floor now.
19:04I know it's up there.
19:04But it's okay.
19:05But I can't see a thing.
19:08So what I want to do.
19:09Is maybe bring it up a bit more.
19:11I want to stick it right there.
19:13Show me again.
19:16Not too bad.
19:17But I still can't see a thing.
19:19And it's fast dark.
19:20So what I'm doing.
19:21I'm moving the light in the wrong direction.
19:24Move it this way.
19:27That fella.
19:29Now except for your character.
19:30She looks a whole lot better.
19:31Of course.
19:32It depends where you put the light.
19:33Right.
19:34So now what I want to do.
19:35I want to render out that image.
19:38And I want to go save.
19:40Save it as.
19:41Save it to the same folder.
19:43And replace it.
19:44Now of course.
19:45Because it's red.
19:46I'll show you.
19:47Go ahead and save it.
19:48It's red.
19:50Click it.
19:51Get rid of it.
19:52And save it.
19:54Okay.
19:54Go back to your file.
19:56See the file?
19:56It's not too great.
19:58Go back to here.
20:00Reloading.
20:01And save it.
20:05Okay.
20:05Press refresh.
20:06Okay.
20:07Now the photo has changed.
20:08Believe it or not.
20:09But because it's really $120.
20:11You don't really notice that.
20:12Okay.
20:13So what we're going to do in the next file.
20:15In clip number two.
20:17I'm going to show you how to basically model and pose your character.
20:22Now the idea of the two cameras.
20:26The idea of the two cameras is one so we can do the body.
20:31Like that.
20:33So we don't have to keep moving the camera.
20:36And this one will do the face shot later on when we do the actual mouth movements.
20:42And maybe later on if you're still watching the content.
20:45Then I will show you how to lip sync your character's voice to the actual image.
20:52Well that's of course you want to go to an AI website.
20:55And continue paying for something that you can actually do in Blender.
21:00So as I said.
21:01If you want an alternative way.
21:03How to basically lip sync your character.
21:06You can add a lot of videos and I'll show you.
21:08Okay.
21:09So that's it.
21:09So come back out of the camera.
21:11Click it.
21:12Come back out of here.
21:13So click it to go in it.
21:14Click it to come back out.
21:15As in you don't need to go in and out of the camera.
21:17Because you know if you click that one.
21:19You know it's on the body.
21:21And if you click that one.
21:23Make sure you press the green one.
21:25If you click on it now that we don't need to go inside it.
21:28Because we notice the face.
21:30Because we're telling you right there.
21:32Stay safe.
21:32Keep friendly.
21:33See you next time.
21:34And thank you for your interest.
21:35And I'll see you later on.
21:37See you in part three.
21:39Part two is it?
21:40Yeah.
21:41Part two.
21:42See you later.
