things are my new blender easy tutorials if you're looking to make a asset library and save your characters animations
Transcript
00:01Hello guys welcome, welcome back. This is part 3, I believe.
00:05In the end of the second video, yeah, I forgot to show you how to basically move the character if
00:15she doesn't move.
00:16So I'll show you. If you open the character's mouth, like this, she works, right?
00:21Now if you don't select the skeleton, and it's in object mode, watch what happens.
00:28In the end of clip number 2, see what happens, look. The character doesn't move.
00:36Like, okay, where's, how come a character's not moving?
00:39Okay, I actually thought Belinda crashed. It didn't crash.
00:43Erm, yeah. Erm, unfortunately for me, erm, yeah.
00:49I actually, somehow, I unticked the character. You don't have the skeleton on, but I tell you.
00:55You don't have the skeleton on. Go here, and press Pose.
01:00Pick a pose, and as you can see, now Emma is on the floor.
01:07Okay, so if your character doesn't work, so basically, you've done object mode, select your skeleton, press Pose, pick whatever
01:17character you want, and if you avoid the skeleton, you'll be able to see what the character is actually doing.
01:25She's having a conversation. Maybe, maybe she's not.
01:28Erm, now of course, you can set the character any way you want.
01:32Erm, I showed you how to add some files, right?
01:35So I'll show you how to add your animations.
01:38Of course, I can continue and continue and continue with the animations, but the idea is to see if you
01:45know how to do it yourself.
01:47Okay?
01:47I will show you more of it, but I wanna, because I've got quite a lot to cover, I wanna
01:53make sure you understand exactly every single part of it.
01:56Okay?
01:58Try to keep the videos as short as I can.
01:59Sometimes, yeah, take about half an hour, sometimes, because I'm trying to explain everything.
02:04Okay?
02:05The ins and the outs.
02:07Okay, so you've got the mouth, right?
02:09I haven't showed you how to apply that to, let's say, that pose yet.
02:15Okay, so if you zoom into your character, look at your character.
02:18Maybe you want a new position for your character.
02:21Okay, go here, just go to Apply.
02:24Okay, you're applying that pose, go to the face.
02:29And I want her mouth open, a little bit.
02:32So, it looks like she's going to speak, but she's not.
02:35Okay?
02:37Now, this is what I can do.
02:39If I wanna keep a new pose like that, don't forget it's only a static pose, temporarily.
02:45Okay?
02:46This is the very first pose of whatever she's going to do.
02:49Okay?
02:50You need the skeleton for this.
02:52Turn your skeleton on.
02:54Select all of it.
02:55Right?
02:56Go here.
02:57Save.
02:58Create a new asset.
03:00Now, if you see how it's put it in that folder, right click.
03:03You don't have to delete it.
03:04Right?
03:05Normally, I delete it.
03:06You can hold it, drag it, and put it back inside.
03:10Pose.
03:11Not in pose, in body.
03:13Drag it, put it in body.
03:15Now it's there.
03:16So, I'm just showing you how to drag and drop.
03:19Your content doesn't get you to stick it in the wrong folder.
03:22Okay?
03:22Now, this is what it is.
03:23Right?
03:24So, this one here is going to be, I don't know.
03:28animation.
03:29So, I'm going to put AM.
03:31I'm going to put AM.
03:33I'm going to put AM.
03:34Animation 1.
03:35And it's Pose A.
03:38And it's Mouth 1.
03:41Yeah.
03:42Bit of a mouth, alright?
03:43That's what I'm going to call it.
03:45So, obviously, I know what it is.
03:47If I want to take the screenshot of that.
03:49If I want to.
03:50I can press the body cam.
03:52I want to copy the name of that.
03:55You've got press CTRL.
03:57CTRL-C copies it.
03:59Okay?
04:00CTRL-C copies.
04:01And CTRL-V pastes it.
04:04So, just press this.
04:06Go to render.
04:07Render it out.
04:10Wait till you get it.
04:12Go here.
04:13Save it as.
04:14Hit the file.
04:15CTRL-V.
04:17As you can see, it just copies the name.
04:19Paste it.
04:21So, CTRL-C.
04:22CTRL-C this part.
04:24And CTRL-V that.
04:25Or, you can just type that on there.
04:28Let's save it.
04:29Okay?
04:30Again, we're going to update this animation.
04:33Go here.
04:33Of course, if it's an animation.
04:35We would stick it in an animation folder.
04:38Go here.
04:39And press yes.
04:40As you can see, now we've just updated the archive.
04:44Right.
04:45So, now we've got a brand new position.
04:48Of course, with the character already in that pose.
04:52So, okay.
04:52What else can we do with it?
04:54Well, maybe I want to customize this one a bit more.
04:57Hang on a second.
04:58She can open her mouth.
04:59She can move her arms.
05:00She can move her legs.
05:01Her fingers and toes.
05:03Emma herself.
05:05Of course, depending on how many categories you want.
05:10Each body part.
05:11Let's say the hand.
05:13What you want to do.
05:15Make a file.
05:16A file.
05:17For the hand.
05:19Let's say one for the left hand.
05:20One for the right hand.
05:21Okay?
05:22That's what you can do.
05:23You can make one file.
05:24And make two files inside the file.
05:26Right.
05:27Just so you know where the hands are.
05:29You can make another file.
05:30For the face.
05:32For the eyebrows.
05:33For the eyes.
05:34I want to show you this one.
05:35Okay?
05:36So, this is file too, right?
05:38So, this is what I'm going to do now.
05:40Because I want to keep my character as it is.
05:42I want to zoom into her.
05:44Now, when I'm doing her face.
05:47You see this file here?
05:49This is not a file.
05:50I apologize.
05:52This one.
05:52And this one is her eyes.
05:54I'll show you.
05:55If I move it.
05:57It gives you her bottom eyelid.
05:59Look.
06:00Okay?
06:00That moves her eyelid.
06:01Right.
06:03The problem is.
06:04When you save out the model.
06:07Sometimes.
06:07It puts the bones in the wrong place.
06:10See here?
06:11I don't want the bones or that.
06:12Because I can't actually get the bones.
06:15So, I think okay.
06:16Let me fix that problem with you.
06:18Okay?
06:18So, you understand how to fix it.
06:20Okay?
06:20First of all.
06:21Go into edit mode.
06:23Right?
06:24You have to go into, let's say, the wireframe for this.
06:26So, you can see what's going on.
06:28Okay?
06:28You can do this mode.
06:29Or you can go into full wireframe mode.
06:31Okay?
06:32I recommend you just turn it off.
06:34Press here.
06:35And just basically turn this off.
06:38Okay.
06:38I'm in heat mode.
06:40Right?
06:40Heat mode allows you to move the bones.
06:44Without actually moving the face.
06:47So, this is what I'm going to tell you to do.
06:48Press scale.
06:50Scale this bone down.
06:51There's three bones here.
06:53Right?
06:54That's it.
06:54I don't know why it puts them all inside each other.
06:57Because it makes no sense at all.
07:00Just kind of put one there.
07:02Click it again.
07:04Scale it.
07:05That's it.
07:06It's, yeah.
07:07It's absolutely pointless.
07:09That's it.
07:10All these bones originally was actually in the correct place.
07:14On the character.
07:16Okay?
07:16This one.
07:17Here.
07:18And scary.
07:19As I said, I know how many bones are in there.
07:21Because I put them in there originally.
07:23Okay?
07:24So, there's three bones in there.
07:26Don't put it on the same one.
07:28Just move it over here.
07:29These three are supposed to be optimal.
07:31Right?
07:32If the software behaves itself, they will stay as they are.
07:36If it doesn't, they will go back big like that.
07:39Okay?
07:40So, go over here.
07:42Scale it.
07:44As I said, when you're working on your character, try to get it the way you want it.
07:49And if you're really, truly looking.
07:52Yeah.
07:52Blender match, you just might leave your content the way it is.
07:57Okay?
07:57That's this.
07:59Scale.
08:00That's why, before it changed the file format, I usually use all my files as color.
08:09I like collider.
08:11I like collider.
08:11I think collider's great.
08:12What I like about collider is when you actually put the bones in whatever position you put them
08:19in, they stay in that position.
08:23I can still use collider.
08:25I can still save the files.
08:26But, yeah.
08:29As long as I'm using, let's say, the old version of Blender.
08:35As I said, once you've done your bones, just go here.
08:40I'll come out of this first.
08:42Come out of that.
08:43Go here.
08:44And save your file.
08:46As I said, because I save my files as collider normally.
08:49If you go here, export it, I can export it as collider.
08:52If I've done that, it will keep all the bones exactly where I put them.
08:58But, for some reason, when you export it as glyph, yeah, it puts some of the bones, yeah.
09:05So, okay, let's go back to continuing what we're doing.
09:09Okay.
09:09I want this.
09:10This is what I'm using.
09:12Right.
09:13I can't select it.
09:14I've got a better character.
09:16Make sure you go into pose mode.
09:19Okay.
09:19Go in here.
09:20Make sure to pose.
09:21Hit the character and just apply it.
09:24Okay.
09:25I want to keep the same file, but I want to change it slightly.
09:29Now, one of these does the top lid.
09:32One does the bottom and one is the eyeball.
09:34This is the eyeball, which is great.
09:37Right.
09:38This one is the top lid.
09:43Right.
09:44So, ideally, I'd put that one out there and put that one in there.
09:48That's how exactly I would do it.
09:50Ideally.
09:51Not out, personally.
09:53I can do it now, so I can actually show you how to do it.
09:57Okay.
09:57It doesn't matter where these are.
09:59Okay.
09:59So, this is the eye.
10:01This one is the top lid.
10:04So, let's fix that.
10:06Go back here.
10:07Because, as I said, originally, that's exactly how it was.
10:10Okay.
10:11So, I want to go back into my frame.
10:13So, this one here is the top lid.
10:17Right.
10:17So, put that over here.
10:19Grab this one.
10:20And put that over here somewhere.
10:22Not like that.
10:23I'll do that.
10:25Okay.
10:25Now, I'm going to take this one again.
10:28I'm going to move it back over here.
10:30I'm going to grab the eyeball and put it in the center.
10:35So, now this one here is supposed to be the bottom lid.
10:39This is the eyeball.
10:40And this is the top lid.
10:42Okay.
10:43Go back here.
10:43Back to standard.
10:45Come back out.
10:47Go back to save.
10:48And save in.
10:49I need to do the same with this one over here.
10:51So, first, before I do that, I want to make sure I'm in this mode.
10:57Find out which one is which.
10:59That's the eyeball.
11:00That should be in the center.
11:04This is the top lid.
11:07So, yeah.
11:08They're all kind of messed up.
11:10So, I think, okay.
11:11Kind of great.
11:11I was there.
11:12I don't think I'll give you a really bad looking model.
11:14Because I don't.
11:15Okay.
11:16So, this one belongs on the outside.
11:19This one belongs in the center.
11:22And this one belongs on the inside.
11:25So, that's the actual order.
11:29Okay.
11:29So, now the whole model is set up again.
11:32Yeah.
11:33As I said.
11:34Sometimes I said, when you do the content.
11:36And if you do a lot of content and you've got to keep going back and fixing the bones.
11:40Yeah.
11:41It's a real pain.
11:42It really is.
11:43I agree.
11:43Like this big massive bone white daddy.
11:46You see that?
11:46In the middle of the face.
11:48What on earth is that?
11:50See here?
11:51Okay.
11:53Just leave it there for now.
11:55Go here.
11:56And go pose.
11:57Okay.
11:57What I can do.
11:58I can pose it.
11:59I can grab that.
12:00I can move it.
12:01It's got a top lip.
12:04That's beautiful.
12:06Shouldn't that be over there?
12:07Yes, it should.
12:09Okay.
12:10So, as I said.
12:11If you look at your character.
12:14Just pull the bone.
12:16See here?
12:18It's pulling the bone.
12:18Right?
12:19So that's actually her top lip.
12:22So, again, I can basically go back into any bone.
12:26I'll show you this just in case you actually want to learn how to do it.
12:29Okay.
12:29Go here.
12:31I want to click on the bone.
12:32There's two bones here.
12:35Okay.
12:35Press this.
12:35Press this.
12:36And turn it.
12:38Okay.
12:39Now, if you look at the wire.
12:41It's not.
12:42It doesn't go to the lip.
12:43It goes all the way inside here.
12:46What?
12:48How is it connected inside there?
12:51Okay.
12:51So, I'm going to put it about here.
12:53And I'm just going to basically move it to about there.
12:56I'm going to press this.
12:56And I'm going to scale this down.
12:58Because I don't want a bone that massive on the screen.
13:01I really don't.
13:03Okay.
13:03And of course, I want to scale these as well.
13:06One here.
13:07So, I'll press these.
13:08And I'll scale these down a little bit.
13:10As I said, you don't need to have bones that big.
13:15See the bones here?
13:18There's two bones here.
13:20Okay.
13:22So, what I'm going to do here.
13:23I'm going to split and separate these bones.
13:26I'll put one there.
13:27I'll put one there.
13:29I'll put one there.
13:29Okay.
13:29As I said, there's two separate bones.
13:32How beautiful is that?
13:34Yeah.
13:35Makes no sense.
13:36It doesn't.
13:37Take off here.
13:38Make sure there's only one bone.
13:40Yeah.
13:40They're not normal.
13:42Okay.
13:42Let's go.
13:43Let's do this.
13:44Come back out of it.
13:46And in a moment, we can get back to animating the character.
13:50As I said, I'd like to show you how to tweak bones.
13:52Just engage they're actually in the wrong place.
13:54They're too big.
13:55They're too small.
13:56Whatever.
13:57You can't quite trick it.
13:58Great.
13:59Okay.
13:59Let's get back to what I'm doing.
14:01What I'm doing is posing the character.
14:05Okay.
14:05So, this is the original pose.
14:06This is the A pose.
14:08This is A pose.
14:10Right.
14:10With the mouth open.
14:13Okay.
14:14So, the mouth open a little bit.
14:16Okay.
14:17So, that's what we can do.
14:18We can reset the mouth if you want to.
14:20Okay.
14:21I'm not giving you the idea.
14:22Okay.
14:23Now, you want to pose this.
14:25We're afraid.
14:26Not that one.
14:27But this first.
14:28We've got bones.
14:29Okay.
14:30You can keep the bones on so you can see what you're doing.
14:32Right.
14:33Now, I want the top lid.
14:35I want to be able to close her eyes.
14:38Because she's going to sleep.
14:40And what?
14:41Emma.
14:42Come on, girl.
14:43Can't go to sleep in the middle of the video.
14:46I've got these back to front, I think.
14:49Yeah.
14:50Okay.
14:50As you can see, she's kind of just slowly sneaking up to sleep.
14:55Emma.
14:57That's bad, girl.
14:59Click this.
15:00Well, she's only young.
15:01So, she wants to go to sleep.
15:03Okay.
15:03So, now, once you select the bones, go here.
15:06And press a new file.
15:09Right.
15:10And this one is going to be called Stand.
15:17And I'm going to put Stand.
15:20And sleep.
15:24If you start the sleep, one.
15:27Yeah.
15:28Sounds good.
15:29Press Control-C.
15:31To come here.
15:33I'm going to go here.
15:34Now, this one could be that good.
15:37My body shot.
15:40Of course.
15:40Really, you can have a face shot on that.
15:43Go here.
15:45Save it out.
15:46Go here.
15:48Control-V to paste it.
15:51And just save it.
15:52Go back to your file.
15:55Look at the files.
15:57I want to make sure you get the one where she's asleep.
15:59Which is this one.
16:02And great.
16:03Now, we take off this.
16:05And I think we see Emma now has closed her eyes.
16:08Now, hmm.
16:09Maybe she's done asleep.
16:11Maybe she's going to blink her eyes.
16:14Yeah.
16:15As I say.
16:16And get personal preference.
16:18Now, we can load the first one.
16:21Oh, hello Emma.
16:22You're awake are you now, girl?
16:24She gets really tired.
16:27Really?
16:28She goes, yeah.
16:29Well, I've been doing a lot of work today.
16:31And she closes her eyes.
16:33I'm thinking, Emma.
16:34Come on.
16:35We're doing a video, girl.
16:36Could you do that, me?
16:38So, anyway.
16:39Let's say you kind of go around and basically customize your character.
16:44Okay.
16:44That's a lot of work, right?
16:46It's a lot to learn.
16:47It's not really a lot to learn.
16:49Honestly.
16:49It's really not.
16:50Once you're done a couple of times, you will have it.
16:53Yeah.
16:53You'll master it like a master.
16:55You really will.
16:56As I say.
16:56Just click on your video.
16:58I'm not on your video.
16:59I'm not on your video.
16:59On your character.
17:01Go into edit.
17:02Edit the bones.
17:03Okay.
17:04So, you can delete the bones.
17:05You can delete the bones.
17:06And you can add new bones.
17:08Okay.
17:10That's what you can do.
17:11That's what you can do.
17:11I don't want to give you too much in one go.
17:14As I said.
17:14I like to go into this mode.
17:16So, I can see my bones.
17:18Like these bones here.
17:19I can scale them down a little bit.
17:21Of course.
17:21I don't need them that big.
17:28I can't do it for that.
17:31I had to sneeze for some reason.
17:33I was saying.
17:34It's up to you.
17:35How do you want to customize the more you're reading?
17:37I was saying.
17:38She's a 3D character.
17:40Of course.
17:41You already know that.
17:43So, okay.
17:44This is video.
17:46Is it video free?
17:47I think it's video free.
17:50Let me know what you think of the content.
17:54Let me know if you get any other ideas.
17:56What else we can try?
17:58You say.
17:59Well, can't you carry weapons?
18:00You can carry weapons.
18:02But the problem is.
18:04The websites tell you.
18:06Don't promote violence.
18:08So, if you make a zombie game.
18:10If you make a combat kind of game.
18:14Yeah.
18:16You can't use weapons.
18:18You have to use things like bananas.
18:22I mean.
18:22What?
18:23Yeah.
18:24That's allowed.
18:25Maybe an apple.
18:26Maybe some fruit.
18:29Yeah.
18:31It's up to you.
18:32It's whatever you want to do.
18:34We can give our items later.
18:36If you want to.
18:38But later on.
18:39I've got a big massive syringe.
18:43It's a syringe.
18:45It's not really a syringe.
18:47It's a balloon pump.
18:49That's what I'm going to tell you.
18:50It's for blowing up your balloons.
18:52It's not.
18:53It's a blender syringe.
18:55I made it for blender.
18:56Because I got an email from blender.
18:59In.
18:59Inside of my.
19:01Anyway.
19:01I got an email from.
19:03It said get a daily dose of blender.
19:05That's what.
19:05That's what the email says.
19:07Yeah.
19:07I found it pretty funny.
19:08Honestly.
19:10I think.
19:10Yeah.
19:10Yeah.
19:10I want to give that idea.
19:12I want to give it to Emma.
19:14And yeah.
19:15I am.
19:17I'll show you later.
19:18I am.
19:19I think you'll be impressed with it.
19:20I think you will.
19:22As I say.
19:22So she uses the balloon pump.
19:25To pump up the balloons.
19:27She got a blue balloon.
19:29Which is a water balloon.
19:31And she got a red balloon.
19:33If you get hit.
19:34Let's say.
19:35With the red balloon.
19:37Yeah.
19:37That's it.
19:37Game over.
19:38You're out of there.
19:39That's the only way I can basically explain it.
19:42game.
19:42So if Emma sprays the red paint on you.
19:45Yes.
19:46You're out.
19:47Yeah.
19:48And if she throws the blue water on you.
19:51Yeah.
19:51You won't be pretty safe.
19:53Anyway.
19:54That's later on for the Emma game.
19:56I will be adding the assets into Emma.
19:59So if you want a couple of assets.
20:01To go with Emma.
20:02If you download her.
20:04As I say.
20:04She won't be too young for you.
20:06You might not want her.
20:07As I say.
20:08She can do a lot.
20:09Anything you can do with any character.
20:10You can do with her.
20:11Um.
20:12Ideally.
20:13It's just.
20:14If you like.
20:16To climb the wall.
20:17Or fences.
20:19Yeah.
20:19Yeah.
20:19You've got to do it a different way.
20:20Because she's only little.
20:22She's tiny.
20:23So.
20:24As I usually say.
20:25Thumbs up.
20:25Thumbs down.
20:26Subscribe.
20:26Don't subscribe.
20:27That's what I usually say.
20:28Um.
