00:09:32

good morning

00:09:33

hello everyone i hope you're all doing

00:09:34

really well um

00:09:36

welcome to another gnomon arp jam my

00:09:38

name is josh herman i'm the ceo of

00:09:40

gnomon school of visual effects

00:09:42

if you've never joined a noman art jam

00:09:44

today what we're going to be doing is

00:09:45

just kind of sculpting some characters

00:09:47

and just kind of hanging out and having

00:09:48

some fun i'm going to turn on the share

00:09:50

screen here in just a second and we're going to be

00:09:52

playing some music uh what i'm going to

00:09:54

do for about probably about the first 20 minutes to a

00:09:56

half hour is just do some warm-ups we've

00:09:58

done this before

00:09:59

in previous streams and often what i'll

00:10:00

do is

00:10:02

uh you know just kind of hang out and

00:10:04

maybe sculpt something from a sphere or

00:10:06

test things um today i want to actually just

00:10:10

play in a different application entirely

00:10:12

uh

00:10:13

and just kind of get into the creative

00:10:15

space before we get into sculpting

00:10:16

anything

00:10:17

as always if the music is too loud if i

00:10:19

sound bad if i freeze if i drop

00:10:21

out whatever just type in the chat let

00:10:23

me know and i'm happy to try to fix or

00:10:25

adjust things for you

00:10:26

but otherwise we will jump straight in

00:10:28

today what i'm actually doing

00:10:31

is i'm playing around in a in a program

00:10:34

called wonder draft

00:10:37

wonder draft is a map making program uh

00:10:40

i'm entertaining you know doing some

00:10:43

dungeons and dragons if you watched any

00:10:45

of this before you know that i'm a big

00:10:46

fan of that from the previous streams

00:10:49

and so this is a an application where

00:10:51

you can make maps and so they have a

00:10:53

bunch of cool stuff that you can do

00:10:55

uh and that's what i kind of want to

00:10:57

explore today so

00:10:58

i just kind of started on this right

00:11:00

before the stream and i've just been

00:11:01

using some randomly generated things

00:11:03

and you'll see this is kind of generally

00:11:05

the shape of what my map is looking like

00:11:10

but right now i'm kind of populating

00:11:11

i've decided to have these four major

00:11:13

cities here

00:11:14

and they're all gonna be leading to this

00:11:15

other one and as i fill this

00:11:17

out we're gonna keep going now again

00:11:19

this is only just something to get

00:11:20

warmed up for today

00:11:22

so it's kind of a fun thing i like

00:11:23

jumping into other types of programs if

00:11:25

possible every now and then

00:11:27

there's this little tree brush which i

00:11:28

can i can brush on which is what i'm

00:11:30

doing here so i'm creating this kind of

00:11:32

a forest

00:11:33

and adjust the density and the placement

00:11:35

rate so that if i wanted to kind of

00:11:37

taper off i can kind of create that

00:11:38

effect

00:11:41

but it's kind of fun so i'm enjoying

00:11:42

just kind of getting it you know

00:11:44

i love sculpting in zbrush i love making

00:11:46

characters it's i mean it's

00:11:47

kind of what i do as a sometimes just as

00:11:49

like a zen

00:11:51

hobby um but there's still something to

00:11:55

jumping into

00:11:56

into something else every now and then

00:11:58

and uh

00:11:59

make this like a really dense forest all

00:12:00

through here

00:12:02

maybe adjust some of the scale size so

00:12:04

some of them are smaller

00:12:09

i'm just kind of break up what you're

00:12:10

doing

00:12:18

uh as always if you guys are put working

00:12:20

on your own personal work or whatever

00:12:22

uh this is gonna be kind of a stylized

00:12:23

ish map at 100 it'll kind of look like

00:12:26

this

00:12:28

so you they they have all these really

00:12:29

cool you know presets which is obviously

00:12:32

a massive tree but it'll

00:12:34

color it based on the location of what

00:12:35

you're doing like it's like a wasteland

00:12:37

it'll color it pat

00:12:39

and you can just kind of come in and

00:12:40

like you know make a little

00:12:42

happy tree land over here which is

00:12:45

pretty great i love

00:12:46

i'm loving playing around with this

00:12:57

we're making some trees

00:13:05

let me zoom out a little bit it's about

00:13:07

50

00:13:09

so what i'm thinking again we'll do this

00:13:11

for about 20 or so minutes

00:13:13

people pile in and just kind of give get

00:13:16

our brain in creative space but um

00:13:18

i'm thinking this is going to be like

00:13:20

over here is going to be sort of like a

00:13:22

densely forest area of the classic

00:13:25

uh desert area kind of the classic ice

00:13:29

and then a wasteland over here and then

00:13:32

of course if the players would start

00:13:33

they would start in none of those areas

00:13:35

because they would have to go explore

00:13:36

them

00:13:37

so bring here

00:13:40

with this nice dense forest exactly the

00:13:44

classic skyrim world

00:13:47

i've been using this brush here which is

00:13:48

kind of a fun like almost like a

00:13:51

valley brush which is kind of cool

00:13:54

and this is again if you guys are just

00:13:55

joining this is called wonder draft so

00:13:57

this is just a program you can purchase

00:13:59

it's not terribly expensive

00:14:01

i think it's like 15 20 bucks it may not

00:14:04

even be

00:14:05

maybe it's a subscription model uh what

00:14:07

kind of fun for making maps there's a

00:14:09

bunch of these as well

00:14:10

online and different things so

00:14:18

hopefully you guys are all doing good

00:14:19

and if you guys are interested in this

00:14:20

uh let me know

00:14:21

uh otherwise i'm happy to you know we'll

00:14:23

jump into other things soon but i'm

00:14:24

curious what kind of projects you guys

00:14:26

are working on in the chat if you guys

00:14:27

are

00:14:28

working on anything for fun if you guys

00:14:30

are working on finals

00:14:32

uh no man's term starts next term or

00:14:34

next week

00:14:35

so we are gearing up for a you know a

00:14:38

big

00:14:39

big up and coming term speaking of if

00:14:42

you guys have any questions or

00:14:44

want to reach out to admissions uh

00:14:46

myself or somebody in the chat can

00:14:47

connect you

00:14:49

um with i think i can do it from here

00:14:51

let me see

00:14:56

there we go we can connect you with uh

00:14:59

our admissions team just fill out one of

00:15:00

those forums

00:15:01

if you have any questions about noman of

00:15:03

course i'm happy to answer those any

00:15:04

questions about art any questions about

00:15:06

anything

00:15:07

uh happy to do that so i think i want

00:15:09

this

00:15:10

this area a little further

00:15:13

and crank up the density and this will

00:15:15

be like super dense through here

00:15:17

[Music]

00:15:23

so like this is where the you

00:15:27

got to be really careful you know when

00:15:29

you're coming through this area

00:15:31

you get lost in the woods

00:15:58

maybe put some trees around this little

00:15:59

lake

00:16:02

might even change up the type of tree

00:16:06

over here

00:16:07

it feels very bob ross this little thing

00:16:10

because it's like oh you know make like

00:16:11

a little happy little

00:16:13

happy little tree land over here these

00:16:16

are all colored like they're

00:16:17

some of them are colored some are not so

00:16:19

you could do like oh geez

00:16:21

you know this

00:16:37

exactly there's no there's no like

00:16:40

mistakes we're just gonna take those

00:16:42

mistakes

00:16:44

we're gonna use them

00:16:47

or use them as inspiration

00:16:50

so kind of get to this tree and maybe

00:16:53

then we get into these

00:16:54

pine tree forest over here

00:16:58

it's kind of sparse

00:17:02

maybe that can be a wasteland there's

00:17:03

also um mountains and stuff we're gonna

00:17:05

play with in a sec

00:17:07

so you can use mountain brushes like

00:17:08

this oh there's like a little mountain

00:17:10

let's make a nice little happy mountain

00:17:12

range over here

00:17:19

i'll use another one of these i kind of

00:17:20

like this one being like a bigger

00:17:23

some bigger mountains

00:17:31

zbrush project for an art contest that's

00:17:33

awesome

00:17:36

uh what's your project you're working on

00:17:45

i love our contests they're one of my

00:17:47

favorite uh things to do

00:17:49

because they they're such a good

00:17:50

motivator like for

00:17:54

um for trying new things for

00:17:57

giving yourself a deadline i'm a huge

00:18:00

huge proponent of

00:18:02

art contest i think they're wonderful

00:18:20

i'm not going to do a mountain range

00:18:22

over here too but i like these dunes

00:18:24

they have speaking of dunes anybody

00:18:25

excited for dune

00:18:27

dune trailer

00:18:32

[Music]

00:18:38

i got a real crush on timothy shalom

00:18:40

right now too i'm not afraid to admit it

00:18:48

anybody saw the king the king

00:18:51

with uh timothy chalamet and robert

00:18:54

pattinson

00:18:56

big fan big fan of that movie

00:18:58

[Music]

00:19:00

oh just accidentally made a whole

00:19:01

mountain range there

00:19:09

all right there we go we're back

00:19:13

let's uh erase this one we'll get these

00:19:16

little mountains back

00:19:19

what is this dunes now let's do these i

00:19:22

like that there's these like

00:19:23

classic little wispy clouds too so

00:19:38

struggling to learn the mechanics uh are

00:19:39

you struggling to learn the mechanics of

00:19:41

zbrush

00:19:43

or just kind of sculpting in general or

00:19:45

sculpting digitally

00:19:51

uh npr filters to get the classic

00:19:54

comic look that's a good that's a good

00:19:56

call one of the things i found success

00:19:58

with was using

00:20:00

uh cavity shaders and uh using a cavity

00:20:03

shader you know you can um

00:20:05

i'll pull up my art station real quick

00:20:06

because there's one on there for you

00:20:11

doubt that i have um

00:20:14

the file with me but it's doing

00:20:16

something like this this is a zbrush

00:20:17

render test

00:20:19

and so i was using uh cavity shading

00:20:23

as the primary element there comics

00:20:25

legend

00:20:26

and i was using that and then i was

00:20:28

using

00:20:29

a couple different ones ones that kind

00:20:31

of had different levels and i would

00:20:33

composite them on top of themselves

00:20:35

and then i would just render a flat

00:20:38

shadow layer separately and it would

00:20:39

composite that on top as well

00:20:41

so that you could kind of get the you

00:20:43

could also change

00:20:45

the direction of the light so you can

00:20:46

get know more moody lighting or top

00:20:48

lighting or backlighting or uplighting

00:20:49

or whatever that is

00:20:50

and then all this stuff like the red was

00:20:52

just painted in

00:20:53

uh but you can kind of see like in here

00:20:55

this you can see the the remnants of the

00:20:57

cavity shading

00:20:58

uh full disclosure i found that cavity

00:21:00

shading is

00:21:02

the comics style is a little difficult

00:21:05

for

00:21:06

more organic shapes faces i found it to

00:21:08

be much more successful

00:21:10

on things like this

00:21:15

yes king was awesome i love that it's so

00:21:17

realistic so brutal

00:21:19

it's like so brutally like the fight

00:21:21

scenes are just so

00:21:23

i don't know it's hard to i don't know

00:21:24

what it is exactly maybe i do but it's

00:21:26

just hard to describe

00:21:28

um big huge fan of it

00:21:31

really dug it

00:21:36

put some of these like this is the place

00:21:39

that nobody explores over here

00:21:41

the dunes oh i like that little brown

00:21:43

dune as well

00:21:47

arrakis desert planet

00:21:51

[Music]

00:21:57

make some of those in there

00:22:01

because you can also come in with this

00:22:02

and like paint which is kind of cool so

00:22:04

go like land

00:22:05

paint and then they have like a couple

00:22:06

presets you can choose any preset you

00:22:08

want but if you color it it'll do that

00:22:13

uh working let's see just digitally

00:22:16

sculpting in general to create

00:22:18

soft and continuous surfaces has been a

00:22:21

nightmare

00:22:22

good question or not not really a

00:22:24

question but that's something we can

00:22:25

talk about later today once we jump into

00:22:27

zbrush in a little bit

00:22:28

uh this is not actually incarnate this

00:22:30

is wonder draft

00:22:31

which i believe is probably a very

00:22:33

similar

00:22:34

program to incarnate which i've heard is

00:22:38

is like i said is very similar uh so this

00:22:41

is wonder draft and it's just kind of a

00:22:44

map making program uh with a bunch of

00:22:46

presets and i'm trying to zoom out and

00:22:48

pretty zoomed in

00:22:49

i'm kind of exploring making you know

00:22:50

this area kind of a

00:22:53

foresty section a desert section it's

00:22:55

kind of kind of playing around with it

00:23:02

it's always nice to jump into other

00:23:04

programs every now and then and just

00:23:05

kind of see

00:23:06

how things happen right i think sticking

00:23:08

into one program forever

00:23:10

i wouldn't make this in vbrush or

00:23:12

anything like that to begin with but uh

00:23:15

it's kind of nice to do just fun to

00:23:17

explore

00:23:21

oh yeah this is wonder draft

00:23:26

there's a ton of those incarnate is

00:23:28

another very popular one

00:23:32

some of these little smaller dunes kind

00:23:34

of like the idea of like there's like

00:23:36

this

00:23:37

like like this is like the classic

00:23:39

skyrim world that somebody mentioned

00:23:40

earlier but there's like the forest area

00:23:42

the wet the winter area the desert area

00:23:45

and then like the wasteland right and

00:23:47

that makes it very simple for the

00:23:48

players to know

00:23:50

kind of what they're going to get into

00:23:51

and how to prepare

00:23:53

well i want to find ways to to break

00:23:54

them up so like maybe there's a really

00:23:56

big mountain range right

00:23:58

this they have these really cool

00:23:59

interesting mountains that are kind of

00:24:00

like this

00:24:02

i want to figure out where to put them

00:24:03

like me i thought about maybe making

00:24:04

like you know like these

00:24:06

volcano sections down here or something

00:24:11

like a wall

00:24:15

beyond the wall sort of an idea

00:24:18

[Music]

00:24:23

only one way in you know where there's a

00:24:26

secret path

00:24:28

oh they have to find

00:24:33

i'm sorry my nerd is definitely showing

00:24:35

today

00:24:37

i don't know what i'm saying sorry it's

00:24:38

it's always there

00:24:40

this is a cool one i like this mountain

00:24:42

range maybe i'll try that one

00:24:46

just erase them

00:24:47

[Music]

00:24:56

oh yeah this is totally like the mortar

00:24:57

mountains i wish i could make them a

00:24:59

little bigger but it

00:25:00

seems like i can't

00:25:02

[Music]

00:25:05

so in a little bit we'll jump into

00:25:07

sculpting and some zbrush stuff

00:25:09

i like these mountains quite a bit

00:25:10

actually

00:25:12

we'll do the oh this is like the classic

00:25:14

trope right you come in through one area

00:25:17

and then you gotta like only there's

00:25:19

like a

00:25:21

everybody's seen this before

00:25:26

the valley it's like there's a crater

00:25:33

[Music]

00:25:40

trying to create basic shapes uh m

00:25:42

helmet

00:25:43

when you say m exclamation helmet is

00:25:45

that something i should know

00:25:46

for some reason my brain is going to

00:25:48

iron man like mark

00:25:49

mark 7 mark 5 mike 42

00:25:52

as soon as you start moving stretching

00:25:55

there's some polishing it's needed in

00:25:57

the lows and highs and the surface

00:25:58

disappear

00:26:01

hard surface sculpting is are you trying

00:26:04

to do like a hard surface helmet or like a

00:26:06

sort of an organic style helmet

00:26:10

in one like a mark one iron man helmet

00:26:13

like the flat steel one

00:26:26

uh that's a difficult shape to sculpt in

00:26:28

zbrush i mean there's a lot of

00:26:30

you know tools you can use in zbrush to

00:26:32

do that

00:26:33

but it's definitely it's definitely not

00:26:35

an easy one i'm not gonna sit here and

00:26:36

lie to you

00:26:38

the key thing that i would say is focus

00:26:40

on the overall proportions first if

00:26:42

possible i know that's a

00:26:43

no-brainer but that's kind of the way

00:26:46

that i would

00:26:47

recommend you approaching it

00:26:54

so today we're just kind of warming up

00:26:55

and warm to wonder draft i love

00:26:57

just kind of warming up in these

00:26:58

programs where there's so many little

00:27:00

presets and it's just kind of a fun

00:27:02

thing to do

00:27:04

you know one thing i might do i don't

00:27:06

love the colors that they give you in

00:27:08

this i do like how it pre-colors

00:27:09

everything

00:27:10

but uh i was considering coming in and

00:27:12

just like erasing

00:27:16

all of the um the paint

00:27:20

this is the water i want the the land

00:27:25

and just doing it in photoshop later

00:27:26

maybe that would be a yeah i can get rid

00:27:28

of all this

00:27:30

and do it myself

00:27:33

so that's an option i'll just try to do

00:27:35

that real quick what if i fill this

00:27:37

ah that's what it looks like so i could

00:27:40

come in later and just

00:27:41

okay i want to zoom out fill this later

00:27:45

compared to like this even those kind of

00:27:46

creates a nice effect but

00:27:48

um filling it with this they can also

00:27:51

let me do they have all these other

00:27:52

themes which are kind of cool

00:27:54

i'll zoom in a little bit uh although

00:27:57

you could do like a paper theme which i

00:27:59

kind of like

00:28:04

now these are the wrong color which is

00:28:05

kind of annoying but

00:28:12

but this gives a very like classic

00:28:16

map

00:28:19

so room to play

00:28:24

i have a bunch of other ones black and

00:28:26

white right

00:28:28

some more colored ones paper was what we

00:28:32

just looked at

00:28:34

i've been using worn adventure is a fun

00:28:38

one

00:28:40

[Music]

00:28:41

uh this is wonder draft is the program

00:28:44

we're using today

00:28:46

[Music]

00:28:52

but there's tons of these

00:28:55

so if you're interested in this um

00:29:00

you like mess with the saturation of

00:29:01

things or just the values of things it's

00:29:03

a fun program

00:29:10

yeah it has like i automatically

00:29:12

generated the landmass you can paint in

00:29:13

the landmass if you like as well but

00:29:15

uh it has this feature where you can

00:29:18

kind of just click it and it'll create a general

00:29:21

landmass for you and then you can

00:29:22

kind of go from there so for now we're

00:29:24

just kind of getting some of these uh

00:29:28

mountains and stuff dialed in get the

00:29:31

rest of these maybe there's like a

00:29:32

massive one

00:29:34

that doesn't really fit in there

00:29:41

through here maybe

00:29:54

for inspiration on maps do i get uh

00:29:57

inspiration from tolkien's books yeah i

00:29:59

think tolkien's a

00:30:00

token is a massive inspiration i think

00:30:01

pray for almost everybody in the

00:30:05

is what i mean in the entertainment

00:30:07

scene there's so many

00:30:09

people that have been inspired by

00:30:10

tolkien in so many ways right

00:30:12

he just his maps you know any map like

00:30:15

game of thrones maps are another big one

00:30:17

that i dug

00:30:19

[Music]

00:30:20

um

00:30:24

mountain range up here so you had these

00:30:26

other map now that i look at these

00:30:27

mountains that they have this preset and

00:30:29

these ones i don't like these ones at

00:30:30

all so i'm going to erase them

00:30:34

we're going to make some new ones what

00:30:37

we had here

00:30:41

uh this is wonder draft we're playing

00:30:43

around in wonder giraffe for a little

00:30:48

while

00:30:54

adjusting the size of these little tiny

00:30:56

mountains

00:31:01

so what i was thinking we could do is

00:31:03

after i get these really quickly blocked

00:31:04

out because we'll only spend about 10

00:31:06

more minutes

00:31:07

uh in the previous streams we've gone

00:31:10

into to

00:31:12

sculpting a character base off of a

00:31:13

random prompt

00:31:18

it's not a custom token preset now it

00:31:21

just kind of has that vibe

00:31:24

i was thinking we could make a character

00:31:25

for one of these locations we had done

00:31:27

this before a little bit

00:31:28

uh and had like you know um

00:31:32

let's make a really dense mountain range

00:31:34

let's see what this happens

00:31:42

well we could name these and they have

00:31:44

some fun naming tools

00:31:46

so if you're into this kind of stuff as

00:31:48

far as like making maps or

00:31:50

or world creation or blue sky like it's

00:31:52

kind of a fun way to do

00:31:58

this

00:32:00

uh this preset is called the warn preset

00:32:02

by the way if you're ever playing around

00:32:03

with this thing

00:32:07

[Music]

00:32:13

it's in here a little couple of rocky

00:32:18

kind of going into the edge of the water

00:32:20

what you can do here which is kind of

00:32:22

cool is usually go to

00:32:23

land and you can make the land go up or

00:32:26

you can make the lane go down

00:32:28

so i just come over here and make a line

00:32:30

go up a little bit around this

00:32:35

has the same brush hotkeys so just use

00:32:38

the brackets

00:32:40

and there we go now that looks like it's

00:32:42

nice and integrated

00:32:49

starting a class at noman next week

00:32:52

awesome

00:32:53

uh which what class are you taking

00:32:59

[Music]

00:33:07

you want to kind of put this like big

00:33:08

thing in there somewhere it's just such

00:33:10

a different style feels like it needs to almost be

00:33:13

like uh

00:33:18

maybe it's further away from everything

00:33:29

maybe we just use it as like a icon

00:33:31

right it's like

00:33:32

this is

00:33:36

different depending on the stroke

00:33:40

there's like these little trees sticking

00:33:41

off

00:33:44

[Music]

00:33:49

that's what i wanted

00:33:55

i think you can grab individual ones too

00:33:58

yeah so i'll take like

00:34:02

this one i want

00:34:07

i'm gonna erase all these oh that wasn't

00:34:09

the one i wanted

00:34:16

change the color

00:34:32

uh you're doing the storyboarding class

00:34:34

that's great awesome

00:34:35

yeah i'm sure it'll be good i've heard a

00:34:38

lot of really good things about

00:34:39

storyboarding

00:34:41

uh we got a question or a comment that

00:34:43

says i don't know anyone else who works

00:34:45

in or studies in concept art and you're

00:34:46

having trouble finding active discord

00:34:49

servers to meet people

00:34:50

especially on lockdown oh um

00:34:54

discord servers i'm not super informed

00:34:57

about all the different types of discord

00:34:58

servers but i'm

00:34:59

there's got to be some or something out

00:35:02

there i would imagine

00:35:06

i don't know though [Music]

00:35:09

if anybody knows of a discord server

00:35:11

maybe we can help our friend out here

00:35:16

if anyone knows any discord servers you

00:35:17

would love to join just finished

00:35:18

characters

00:35:19

design and about to start gesture

00:35:22

awesome

00:35:28

this thing and it's not really working

00:35:36

all right we're gonna let's make some

00:35:38

names we've kind of got a nice starting

00:35:40

point for like general locations

00:35:42

and as i say that i'm like i want to put

00:35:44

some more mountains over here mountain

00:35:45

mountain

00:35:46

you can color them later i'll do

00:35:48

something like this

00:36:18

gonna get a little more in there maybe

00:36:19

we'll make this like uh just do

00:36:22

like i said we'll get into this in a sec

00:36:23

but i wanna quickly block out some ideas

00:36:26

like this could be like more of a planes

00:36:30

basement density of this

00:36:38

grant habit has a huge discord that's

00:36:40

good to know

00:36:59

see like these little pine trees there's

00:37:02

like a very token one

00:37:04

a very specific type of brush pen

00:37:09

you'll actually enjoy doing i think the

00:37:11

trees the most

00:37:20

fun

00:37:22

there we go

00:37:26

i'm like a dense type of forest over

00:37:28

here

00:37:30

i did already use these which are kind

00:37:31

of like a pine tree

00:37:33

so maybe i should continue using this

00:37:41

it's interesting if you start

00:37:42

researching or looking at you know the

00:37:44

world

00:37:46

typically you'll see a lot of a lot of

00:37:48

green on the side of mountains because

00:37:49

they'll get a lot of

00:37:52

water they uh

00:37:55

they fall off and kind of naturally

00:37:58

inform you as to what they would be

00:38:02

doing

00:38:04

wonder draft yes we are using one to

00:38:05

draft today well not the whole day we're

00:38:07

just warming up in it

00:38:11

we'll switch into zbrush here if that's

00:38:12

what people are interested in

00:38:20

i'm happy to hang out in wonder draft

00:38:22

which is what we're playing around

00:38:23

and just kind of a fun program

00:38:31

here we go get some smaller ones out

00:38:32

there as it kind of trickles around

00:38:35

some of these little trees i want to get

00:38:37

some like i would use these trees over

00:38:39

here which was kind of fun

00:38:40

[Music]

00:38:42

to me feels like it's like a special

00:38:44

location

00:38:46

how much do you stray away from nature

00:38:48

laws when drawing a map

00:38:50

um to be honest like i do

00:38:53

inform myself based on it but i don't

00:38:58

i kind of just do whatever feels right

00:39:06

palm tree one oh there's cactus

00:39:08

[Music]

00:39:09

i look like a cactus does it

00:39:14

check right in there

00:39:31

[Music]

00:39:32

let's see is noman opposed to

00:39:36

students creating its own discord or

00:39:38

facebook group or is encouraged to use

00:39:39

an official one from the class

00:39:41

instructor

00:39:42

uh that's up to you guys i mean i think

00:39:43

it's for me it's something that

00:39:45

it's whatever works for you right so if

00:39:47

that's

00:39:48

if that's you creating a discord you and

00:39:52

your class you and your friends that's

00:39:53

totally fine in my opinion

00:39:55

i mean if the teacher has one i think

00:39:57

there's no reason to not use that one as

00:39:59

well

00:40:00

you know i think that's kind of would be

00:40:02

smart

00:40:03

right to be able to engage with them in

00:40:05

that way uh but if

00:40:07

if you're wanting to create your own i

00:40:08

don't think that there's really anything

00:40:10

that should

00:40:11

that should stop you from doing that

00:40:18

[Music]

00:40:23

oops

00:40:29

all right and what was i going to do oh

00:40:31

that's right i was going to do a couple

00:40:33

smaller mountain ranges as it kind of

00:40:36

trickles off

00:40:38

maybe it's more of these like these

00:40:41

types how does this one look like when it's

00:40:43

big yeah this is more like a hill

00:40:55

there's a lot of blender groups that's

00:40:56

for sure i've definitely seen a lot of

00:40:58

letter groups up there

00:41:04

linda has a really incredible community

00:41:06

though so

00:41:09

i think that's cool

00:41:13

that it has such like a built-in you

00:41:15

know network and

00:41:21

it's a great place to learn

00:41:28

i see all these little things popping

00:41:30

like all the alpha sorting

00:41:32

it's kind of interesting

00:41:35

[Music]

00:41:37

all right so let's make some locations

00:41:39

and then we'll jump into zbrush here

00:41:40

after this

00:41:44

kind of enjoying enjoying

00:41:47

placing these little mountains and

00:41:48

making this little world

00:42:09

all right we're gonna save this usually

00:42:12

take a second uh so regions you can use this this will

00:42:15

like

00:42:16

create like actual regions like if you

00:42:17

want to like map out part of the world

00:42:20

uh but labels is something you can do

00:42:21

and you can just click

00:42:23

like we'll name this town i already have

00:42:25

a name for this town and this town is

00:42:26

called crossroads

00:42:29

crossroads

00:42:33

that's what you can do

00:42:40

should be able to select it yes

00:42:45

we'll zoom in we'll enhance enhance

00:42:49

and uh i believe if i click this

00:42:52

yeah you can rotate it move it spin it

00:42:56

right uh some default stuff but they

00:42:58

also have some like preset names

00:43:00

so there's bodies of waters and there's

00:43:01

settlements um

00:43:04

which is kind of cool you just delete it

00:43:06

just deletes it

00:43:07

so we can make another one here

00:43:10

uh it'll automatically do a generator

00:43:12

too so you can click this and

00:43:15

this little mario question mark to give

00:43:18

you random names which is kind of cool

00:43:22

and that'll also depend on if you choose

00:43:24

citytown or water so

00:43:26

town is smaller city right so change the

00:43:29

size of that

00:43:30

water changes entirely and then if you

00:43:32

hit this it also

00:43:34

changes that but you can choose the

00:43:37

fonts which are kind of cool so there's

00:43:39

like

00:43:40

we'll go to city and we'll choose

00:43:43

like um

00:43:49

settlements

00:43:52

figure out what we want our font to look

00:43:54

like i kind of want to just be

00:43:56

black or white

00:44:01

we'll make it a little bigger for now

00:44:02

we'll just press 60 so we can all see it

00:44:04

maybe 80 so we can all see it

00:44:11

and we'll say do we want it to be this

00:44:13

is aladdin

00:44:14

this is barlow bilbo that's

00:44:18

obviously very tolkienesque

00:44:21

which could have like no outline you can

00:44:23

remove the outline and just say like we

00:44:24

want to be black

00:44:26

right

00:44:30

but to be able to preview it i kind of

00:44:32

want to see what their options are

00:44:35

since el east c ooh that's like a very

00:44:40

handwritten one

00:44:44

that definitely looks like somebody hand

00:44:45

wrote this one i like that

00:44:47

it's kind of cool

00:44:50

it's like if you're doing a like a paper

00:44:52

map it's like a child wrote that map i

00:44:54

dig that

00:44:55

um frederick the great

00:44:59

frederica that's cool

00:45:07

that's kind of cool too another one that

00:45:08

would look really good on like a paper

00:45:09

preset

00:45:10

because again there's all these okay get

00:45:12

out of here there's all these presets

00:45:14

uh themes so if i go to like paper which

00:45:16

all this colors we're going to compete

00:45:18

with but that's kind of a nice

00:45:21

uh look to it

00:45:26

overall that actually looks not great

00:45:27

but up close it looks pretty good

00:45:31

uh does noman offer a student discount

00:45:33

on software like zbrush i don't believe

00:45:35

so

00:45:36

um but there is a free version of zbrush

00:45:40

that you can play with called

00:45:41

zbrush core mini that i would recommend

00:45:43

if you've never played with it

00:45:45

definitely check that out let's see what

00:45:48

else we got here

00:45:50

we'll put on turn that outline back on

00:45:53

gentlemen gentium book okay very classic

00:45:59

got it

00:46:06

lance a lot

00:46:10

so they have some nice fun fonts that

00:46:11

are very the thing that

00:46:13

this is obviously not a vast a program

00:46:16

with a ton of stuff this is wonder draft

00:46:18

what we're playing in

00:46:19

it doesn't have like a ton of options

00:46:20

for you but it does give you like a very

00:46:22

specific

00:46:23

group so i kind of want to just use this

00:46:25

bilbo one

00:46:27

i know this this was going to be

00:46:29

crossroads that's what this place is

00:46:30

called

00:46:36

so here you can do the

00:46:39

the uh ye old curvature

00:46:44

so maybe a little bit of curvature there

00:46:49

and i might just make this a little

00:46:51

smaller for this one

00:46:52

[Music]

00:46:54

what's the size of the bigger cities

00:46:56

bigger cities gonna be and i gotta

00:46:58

figure out what that's gonna be and i'm

00:46:59

gonna put that like

00:47:01

here maybe

00:47:11

see how legible it really is we could

00:47:14

probably use some work but we'll go

00:47:16

we'll run with it for now like what i

00:47:18

think is awesome is that you can come

00:47:19

over here

00:47:20

right finally go back to my theme i'm on

00:47:22

the wrong scene

00:47:26

there we go so come over here we'll just

00:47:29

delete this

00:47:30

and make a new one we'll change the

00:47:33

settlement body of water and we'll

00:47:35

change this to water and then we'll just

00:47:38

click one

00:47:40

it's like this is the autumn expanse or

00:47:43

the

00:47:44

permafrost expanse there's a lot of

00:47:46

expanses

00:47:47

the mossy pond secret abyss the yellow

00:47:51

golf

00:47:53

strange ocean eerie basin the lesser

00:47:56

bayou oh i like that name i don't think i

00:47:58

should go here but maybe down here

00:48:02

let's make another one

00:48:06

feared waters oh yeah that's like here

00:48:08

for sure

00:48:13

the methyl ocean sure

00:48:17

this can be the methyl lotion i don't

00:48:19

know if i like that actually

00:48:22

tragic lake oh yeah every

00:48:26

good story has a tragic lake

00:48:32

get over here thing

00:48:58

tragic league should definitely be up

00:49:00

here

00:49:04

it's kind of a fun thing to just make it

00:49:05

nice and easy

00:49:08

really good for world building the

00:49:09

narrow lagoon right

00:49:11

because there's this narrow little pass

00:49:12

here

00:49:14

maybe these should be swapped well i

00:49:17

guess the lake is a contained body of

00:49:19

water

00:49:24

so that can go there

00:49:33

dirty golf bottomless whirlpool dead

00:49:36

depths

00:49:37

boom

00:49:42

i just know well whatever

00:49:47

the wizard void the peaceful cove you

00:49:49

know there's all kinds of fun stuff in

00:49:56

here

00:50:02

and then we'll pick uh let's pick let's

00:50:04

do a name let's do a

00:50:05

city and create that

00:50:09

city had doing bilbo

00:50:14

with no outline i think it was a 60

00:50:17

with black

00:50:23

and white settlements

00:50:27

snowberry oh it's like it knew

00:50:34

lickin horn oh i like that let's keep

00:50:36

that one

00:50:37

all right so you could do this on the

00:50:38

whole thing obviously

00:50:41

um just kind of a fun thing to

00:50:44

uh create presets so i could have

00:50:47

saved or made a preset i guess say like

00:50:50

my pounds

00:50:51

big cities

00:51:01

just what this is

00:51:02

[Music]

00:51:05

we'll figure this out eventually all

00:51:07

right we have been hanging out in this

00:51:09

for a little longer than i expected but

00:51:10

i've been having some fun so we're going

00:51:12

to unsafe

00:51:13

we've got a little bit of our uh world

00:51:17

that we're creating here i should make

00:51:20

one big one over here though right

00:51:24

i wish i could have like evil place

00:51:31

what did it choose for this 60

00:51:36

mana horn that's almost like the

00:51:38

matterhorn

00:51:45

[Music]

00:51:52

i think that says vulcan wind or alken

00:51:56

[Music]

00:52:02

wind

00:52:10

we'll pick one of these at random one

00:52:13

two three four

00:52:14

five nope one two three four

00:52:18

shiver drum some of these are obviously

00:52:21

very

00:52:22

um

00:52:26

obviously taken from tolkien or other

00:52:29

things like that

00:52:30

the bantam shire that feels like

00:52:33

this area

00:52:38

uh this is wonder draft which is what

00:52:40

we've been playing around in

00:52:43

all right so now that we've kind of been

00:52:45

exploring some places and having fun in

00:52:47

wonder draft we actually are going to

00:52:49

jump into zbrush and start sculpting

00:52:51

uh so what we're going to do is i'm

00:52:52

going to do what i did last time to kind

00:52:54

of make a random character because i i

00:52:56

like having a random prompt we could

00:52:58

obviously say you know we're going to

00:52:59

make a character

00:53:00

from bantam shire or something like that

00:53:04

but it makes it a little easier for me

00:53:07

to um to do it from

00:53:11

from a random thing here so we're going

00:53:12

to build a character

00:53:14

i'm going to hide this i'm going to show

00:53:17

this this is d beyond if you've never

00:53:20

seen

00:53:21

this before it is a little hard to see

00:53:23

so i'm going to actually hide myself

00:53:25

for you all so hopefully it'll make me a

00:53:27

little just a tad bit

00:53:28

larger or a tad bit larger uh

00:53:31

and we're gonna also open up another tab

00:53:33

and we're gonna do a

00:53:36

dice roller now if you guys

00:53:40

not guys the drive roller dice

00:53:43

roller uh they have them on google has

00:53:45

one built in which is cool

00:53:47

um if you've never done this before i'd

00:53:49

recommend uh doing this because it is

00:53:51

kind of a fun thing to to give yourself

00:53:53

a very random prompt

00:53:55

right to say like you know this is the

00:53:58

type of character i'm making

00:53:59

so i turn all this stuff off i just say

00:54:01

like blank

00:54:03

and now we're gonna start with our

00:54:04

abilities if you haven't seen us do this

00:54:06

the past couple weeks

00:54:07

we're gonna roll 4d6

00:54:11

remove the lowest number we're going to

00:54:13

put that in the left one

00:54:15

we're going to do that

00:54:22

so we're going to just go left to right

00:54:24

so we have a 12

00:54:26

we have a 10. oh

00:54:30

it's very informative we have a 7

00:54:32

unconstitution

00:54:34

but our intelligence is a 16.

00:54:38

just

00:54:43

our wisdom is 15.

00:54:49

so this is a sickly smart person

00:54:53

10 is the average in case you weren't

00:54:54

aware so we're going to go into

00:54:56

race if i go to this and i choose the

00:54:58

player's handbook there is 10 races here

00:55:01

so what i do is i remove all these and i

00:55:03

just roll a detend

00:55:06

seven one two three four five six

00:55:09

seven halfling okay

00:55:13

okay uh we haven't done a halfling

00:55:16

before i'm gonna roll a d4

00:55:18

odd is gonna be the top even i guess

00:55:21

even

00:55:22

evens odds than even so it would have

00:55:24

been this one

00:55:27

there we go

00:55:31

and i would say we've done this before

00:55:34

um there's only one class that benefits

00:55:37

from intelligence they think we could do

00:55:38

a cleric or something like that

00:55:40

there's 12 classes if you remove the

00:55:41

artist's facer and the blood hunter

00:55:43

so i roll this 12 is what i would get

00:55:46

which is a wizard

00:55:47

so we are making a halfling wizard today

00:55:50

you can make all this stuff if you want

00:55:52

i always like doing it because it's

00:55:53

relatively quick

00:55:56

i'm going to go to description there are

00:55:58

54

00:56:00

of these backgrounds what i do is

00:56:01

there's there's another dice roller

00:56:03

right here from wizards of the coast

00:56:05

i roll a d177 i try to get something

00:56:08

under

00:56:09

54 so 21 is what i got on that

00:56:12

and i just count my way down one two

00:56:14

three

00:56:17

10 is cloistered 11 12 13

00:56:21

14 15 16 17 18 19

00:56:25

20 21 folk hero

00:56:28

so this is a folk hero wizard

00:56:31

halfling i don't need we'll just say

00:56:35

like they like

00:56:36

to alchemist

00:56:40

equipment this is just simple stuff if

00:56:41

you want to pick one

00:56:44

i like picking some of these because it

00:56:45

gives us a nice starting point for what

00:56:48

our equipment will actually be

00:56:49

so i'm going to choose wizard quarter

00:56:51

staff

00:56:53

there is five four real options here so

00:56:56

we'll just pick the fourth one

00:56:59

so this person uses a staff

00:57:02

scholar sure and sure

00:57:07

so we have all this which is already now

00:57:09

selected for us so we can go into our

00:57:11

character sheet

00:57:15

our character at level one has four hit

00:57:16

points because he has a negative two

00:57:18

modifier

00:57:19

to constitution which is pretty garbage

00:57:22

this character will die

00:57:23

very quickly if it were to be played

00:57:25

which i think is actually hilarious

00:57:26

though

00:57:27

so uh we are making a character oh and

00:57:30

we need to go in here

00:57:31

and edit our character and uh go back to

00:57:33

that dice roller

00:57:39

roll it d6

00:57:42

three so i go into my race our

00:57:45

name now and i can randomize and hit

00:57:47

three times one

00:57:49

two three yobricks swift whistle

00:57:53

is our character's name

00:57:57

so let's go ahead and jump into zbrush

00:57:58

now and let's make

00:58:01

yobrix swift whistle

00:58:04

the halfling

00:58:07

wizard

00:58:11

so i'm going to load up my

00:58:17

base mesh that i've been using in the

00:58:18

past couple of times

00:58:25

so i'm going to lit up my uh

00:58:28

where is it there it is

00:58:32

this character here in case you guys

00:58:34

hadn't seen before into the

00:58:36

previous streams uh what we had been

00:58:38

doing was

00:58:39

making two other characters we made this

00:58:41

character which was our half

00:58:42

orc rogue i believe he was a noble

00:58:49

what i recall and then we also made

00:58:53

uh this character here which was our

00:58:58

halfling swashbuckler bard

00:59:03

last week william defoe

00:59:06

a lot of william coming in there

00:59:09

this is his charm holster

00:59:14

so today we're going to make a halfling

00:59:16

which we need to keep in scale right

00:59:17

happens only about yet tall so that's

00:59:19

something we're going to do

00:59:20

or at least keep in mind

00:59:26

what i'm going to do to begin is i'm

00:59:27

just going to start stretching and

00:59:29

making some

00:59:30

head shapes here now halflings are very

00:59:32

different proportions so

00:59:34

uh the first thing i always do is i get

00:59:36

some groups set up

00:59:38

polygroups so that it's easier for me to

00:59:40

kind of define

00:59:42

the areas that i'm going to be working

00:59:44

on

00:59:52

and then very likely we will actually

00:59:54

end up using

00:59:57

a head bass head

01:00:02

to uh define the to start with that

01:00:06

all right so now we have this what we

01:00:07

can do is we'll just use the old

01:00:10

action lines here and we're going to

01:00:11

squash this person in half

01:00:14

that's the easiest way to get that out

01:00:15

of done and i'm going to go straight

01:00:17

from the middle and we're going to

01:00:18

squash them a little bit i don't want to

01:00:19

go crazy

01:00:20

right but i can mask these elements off

01:00:23

and soften some of that

01:00:31

i get this proportion feel a little more

01:00:36

fling or hop it if you don't know what a

01:00:38

halfling is it's essentially a hobbit

01:00:49

now this is a we had again why do i like

01:00:52

i know it's you know some people aren't

01:00:54

role play fans or i've never done that

01:00:55

so it's kind of a little confusing to

01:00:56

them

01:00:57

the reason i like using that is because

01:01:00

it gives us

01:01:01

very key pieces of information for our

01:01:04

prompt

01:01:05

knowing that this is an intelligent

01:01:06

person who's actually somewhat strong

01:01:09

but

01:01:10

somewhat fast somewhat perceptive very

01:01:14

oops weak

01:01:17

constitutionally means something in

01:01:20

there is a really key defining trait

01:01:23

some other things we can do is we can go

01:01:24

into our description

01:01:26

so under descriptions i'll edit this

01:01:28

character

01:01:29

so we can do because we did this on the

01:01:30

previous ones i want to edit that in a

01:01:33

separate window

01:01:37

okay we'll just do the dice roller again

01:01:41

because we can also get some more

01:01:42

information for this character

01:01:44

by um description

01:01:48

suggested things here so we can roll

01:01:51

these and they'll give us random things

01:01:53

we need to roll a d8

01:01:56

twice one eight and a four

01:01:59

so this character has a song strong

01:02:01

sense of fair play

01:02:03

and always trying to tries to find the

01:02:04

most equitable solution to arguments i

01:02:07

like that but they also get bored easily when am i

01:02:10

going to get on with my destiny i dig

01:02:12

that and then these all are sixes so i

01:02:14

just roll 4d6 at the top

01:02:15

and whenever one's on the left i start

01:02:17

here so a two a two

01:02:20

and a three which when we collapse this

01:02:23

you'll see them all here

01:02:26

so their ideals is fairness no one

01:02:28

should get preferential treatment

01:02:30

their bond is that they worked the land

01:02:32

they loved the land

01:02:34

they will protect the land and flaws as

01:02:36

the people who knew me when i was young

01:02:38

know a shameful secret and they can

01:02:39

never go home again so this person has

01:02:41

like a little bit of a depth to them

01:02:42

with now

01:02:43

with given what we kind of know about

01:02:45

them and so since we have that

01:02:47

i'll pull it off to the side i kind of

01:02:49

keep this as sort of part of my

01:02:51

reference and we can uh

01:02:55

use that as character inspiration

01:03:02

i get the head size to be a little more

01:03:04

accurate you know assuming a character

01:03:06

is yea tall here

01:03:09

right it's obviously way too big

01:03:13

but as in form

01:03:16

some of our proportions halflings tend

01:03:19

to be

01:03:21

kind of bigger heads

01:03:27

not not too big like i had it

01:03:37

not so stocky that they feel like a

01:03:39

dwarf which is something i want to fix

01:03:42

see if this person's supposed to be kind

01:03:44

of sickly so

01:03:45

that's going to be a challenge is to

01:03:47

break some of that

01:04:11

at this point i do like to start getting

01:04:12

into a pose

01:04:14

what i'm going to do i bring those

01:04:16

shoulders in even a little bit further

01:04:26

so how do we you know i don't think that

01:04:28

they should be leading with their chests

01:04:29

which is kind of if you look at these

01:04:30

other two characters we did like

01:04:32

reading with their chest reading with

01:04:34

their hips

01:04:38

right

01:04:40

and then same over here hips forward

01:04:44

hands on hips or the pose

01:04:49

and these two this character

01:04:53

should absolutely not be doing that

01:04:55

right they should not be doing kind of

01:04:56

the same pose and some of that's built

01:04:57

in

01:04:58

to the uh to the base mesh but we're

01:05:00

gonna adjust that

01:05:10

so we're going to push all this back

01:05:11

hide this mask that

01:05:15

so maybe this is kind of like a more of

01:05:17

a

01:05:19

sunken now just because they have a low

01:05:22

constitution doesn't necessarily have

01:05:24

strength so it's

01:05:25

maybe there's something different about

01:05:28

this person

01:05:31

yobricks is their name

01:05:35

making them weaker

01:05:54

[Music]

01:06:04

[Music]

01:06:16

mm-hmm

01:06:18

turning make sure my perspective is on

01:06:32

these arms down i don't love sculpting

01:06:36

in t poses if i don't have to even a poses

01:06:46

[Music]

01:06:58

oh

01:07:12

oh

01:07:16

trying to get as much of the character

01:07:17

out of the basement as i possibly can

01:07:28

[Music]

01:07:32

they are the role-playing games really

01:07:33

can be a great inspiration for art

01:07:36

um and you see so many people doing fan

01:07:38

art of their own characters or their

01:07:40

parties or

01:07:41

uh a gnomon we had a there was a

01:07:45

star wars cop game that was being played

01:07:48

and

01:07:49

one of the one of the players

01:07:53

was drawing the key moments from the

01:07:55

game every game like what was the most

01:07:58

you know memorable section of the game

01:08:01

and they would draw that every week

01:08:07

i was running a game for a while and i

01:08:09

was actually writing

01:08:10

so i would write like a a chapter of a

01:08:14

book

01:08:15

essentially of each session

01:08:18

that's what happened there's like a

01:08:19

recap which was fun it's just a great

01:08:21

inspiration for all types of art

01:08:23

it really really is

01:08:30

so we can do what i like to do which is

01:08:33

when i uh subdivide this character i

01:08:34

don't like to

01:08:38

uh smooth so i'm going to turn that off

01:08:40

i'm going to hit this twice

01:08:42

and i'll smooth again what this does is

01:08:44

it gives me a very blocky person but

01:08:46

it's also bumped up the

01:08:47

the holy count significantly

01:08:51

and so what i can do now is just start

01:08:53

working from that and it makes it a

01:08:55

little simpler

01:08:58

and what i like to do here is just kind

01:09:00

of get some of those

01:09:02

initial planes of the face planes of the

01:09:05

body and uh use it as a as a

01:09:08

tool to begin

01:09:12

the foundation stuff for later

01:09:21

[Music]

01:09:29

[Music]

01:09:44

just getting these anatomical landmarks

01:09:46

in

01:09:48

it's not a you know very muscular

01:09:50

character whereas the previous two were

01:09:52

so

01:09:53

i'm not attempting to make them muscular

01:09:55

but

01:09:56

i'm starting kind of with the muscles

01:09:58

and so something that

01:09:59

sometimes one of the things i find that

01:10:01

can be a little bit of a challenge when

01:10:02

you're making a character is

01:10:04

you know you want to start with anatomy

01:10:06

but they're not a muscular character so

01:10:08

how do you start with just muscles

01:10:12

muscles in bone and um

01:10:16

not make them a bodybuilder right when

01:10:19

especially when

01:10:20

the majority of the references that

01:10:22

you're going to find are going to be

01:10:24

bodybuilder reference anatomy reference

01:10:26

which is typically life drawing models

01:10:27

who are fit

01:10:28

right so it's kind of a challenge

01:10:33

this is a a

01:10:37

base mesh that is from an old modeling

01:10:39

program called silo

01:10:41

silo is a modeling program probably from

01:10:43

about 15 years ago

01:10:45

which doesn't really get used anymore

01:10:48

and so

01:10:51

uh one of their like just like in maya

01:10:54

you know or 3ds max you have like a cube

01:10:57

and you have

01:10:58

a um sphere and a cylinder and all that

01:11:01

and a teapot

01:11:02

they had a base man like this

01:11:06

which is kind of this look

01:11:10

i would imagine i have never i haven't

01:11:12

searched for it in a long time

01:11:14

but i would imagine that you could find

01:11:16

it online by just searching like

01:11:18

silo modeling program base mesh maybe

01:11:21

maybe you'll get lucky

01:11:23

i haven't tried though i got it i got

01:11:25

about 15 10 12 years ago and i just kind

01:11:28

of

01:11:29

found it and it's one that i really like

01:11:30

using

01:11:32

you can use any base mesh anything that

01:11:34

works for you i just like

01:11:36

it's also not a terribly complex base

01:11:38

mesh for modeling so if you want to make

01:11:40

one

01:11:41

it's a pretty easy one to make

01:11:43

[Music]

01:11:45

or to sculpt and then re-top okay

01:11:50

we'll get some of this stuff in and

01:11:52

we're not going to go crazy on the

01:11:53

anatomy on this guy

01:12:03

make human is another defunct program

01:12:06

for base meshes

01:12:12

i think probably just gonna focus on

01:12:14

this bust today

01:12:21

[Music]

01:12:29

i'm gonna give like a little bigger ears

01:13:16

so

01:13:25

[Music]

01:13:37

[Music]

01:13:38

go and pull out a nose i really like

01:13:42

actually sculpting the most of you guys

01:13:43

have seen this before from these planes

01:13:45

in the head

01:13:46

this is my favorite thing to sculpt from

01:13:49

but um i'm gonna try it on this today

01:13:53

[Music]

01:13:56

saying you start from a sphere for

01:13:58

almost everything

01:13:59

you don't know you don't think that's

01:14:01

the most efficient way sometimes just

01:14:02

started zbrush about a month ago

01:14:04

uh it it can in yes and no

01:14:08

i would say it's probably not the most

01:14:09

efficient thing uh the challenge of

01:14:12

starting with a

01:14:13

sphere every time is you have to create

01:14:15

the base forms

01:14:16

every single time from the very

01:14:18

beginning right this is a

01:14:20

this is a crafted sphere is what i would

01:14:22

call this like this is

01:14:23

just an elegant sphere at least the head

01:14:26

uh

01:14:27

the body is obviously not if you start

01:14:29

from something

01:14:30

like one of these you go into light

01:14:32

spotlight light box which

01:14:34

i think it's called headplanes one of

01:14:36

these these are really good for starting

01:14:38

like this

01:14:39

um i'm gonna save because why not

01:14:44

[Music]

01:14:48

these are really good to to be starting

01:14:51

from base meshes are always really nice

01:14:53

to start from

01:14:54

especially if you want to explore

01:14:55

something in a

01:14:57

form that you already know that you need

01:14:59

that you want to get to what i mean by

01:15:01

that is

01:15:02

uh you know that you are going to sculpt

01:15:03

a human you are going to sculpt a

01:15:06

humanoid alien with two arms and two

01:15:08

legs right

01:15:11

yes you can obviously sculpt from

01:15:12

scratch and there's nothing

01:15:14

there's genuinely nothing wrong with

01:15:15

that the challenge is

01:15:19

the more time that you spend building up

01:15:21

the

01:15:22

form the just the base form meaning i'm

01:15:24

making the arm and making the legs

01:15:26

uh you are not sculpting

01:15:29

the actual design that you want right

01:15:32

that's kind of part of the problem there

01:15:34

when you sculpt with a base mesh the

01:15:37

opposite happens is

01:15:38

is that you have all this stuff there

01:15:40

but sometimes you get locked too much

01:15:42

into the proportions there that are

01:15:44

there right you're not

01:15:46

you're not given the complete freedom

01:15:47

that a spear has

01:15:49

so i think when you're beginning try

01:15:51

both methods there are other base

01:15:53

measures inside of here not just

01:15:55

in this one but there's also the demo

01:15:57

soldier

01:15:58

which is one that i don't love uh

01:16:01

the demo soldier there should be

01:16:06

the mannequin is okay demo projects

01:16:09

let's see what we got in here

01:16:10

super average mail is okay

01:16:17

that seems to be the main ones that are

01:16:19

in here now so

01:16:20

check those out let's see if there's

01:16:22

anything up

01:16:24

tools sometimes in z tools

01:16:28

yeah z tool there's demo soldier there's

01:16:30

another super average man here

01:16:32

there's a uh nick

01:16:36

z human guy is pretty decent

01:16:40

so play around with those for your base

01:16:43

meshes that are already inside zbrush

01:16:47

but what's going with a base mesh you

01:16:49

don't have complete freedom

01:16:50

right you don't have the the entire

01:16:54

the ability to add a subdivision level

01:16:57

here uh you don't have the ability to

01:16:59

just start sculpting

01:17:03

and on something but you also can do any

01:17:05

proportion any shape

01:17:06

and often i find that some of my best

01:17:09

sculpts

01:17:10

are done when i'm using a sphere and

01:17:13

that's because i'm often

01:17:15

not caring about you know what we're

01:17:17

making

01:17:19

you know i'm not caring about how i'm

01:17:21

making it but it starting maybe in one

01:17:23

section finding something that works for

01:17:25

me and going from there i'm gonna do is i'm

01:17:28

gonna start making some more eyeballs

01:17:29

first

01:17:34

just going to sculpt eyeballs into this

01:17:37

form

01:17:43

a little formless on the side i'm

01:17:44

looking at even though i can see

01:17:47

this side i'm actually looking at this

01:17:50

side when i sculpt

01:17:51

uh and that's because i i want to see

01:17:54

the the silhouette

01:17:55

right so when i say it's formless what

01:17:56

i'm saying is from a profile or from a

01:17:59

perspective view

01:18:01

there's not a lot of you know

01:18:04

variation in the form so that's

01:18:07

something i might want to look at doing

01:18:18

nice thing that goes with animating

01:18:19

basic stuff like walks or

01:18:21

runs or loops yeah exactly

01:18:25

having something to build on is nice

01:18:27

it's always going to be a

01:18:28

fast almost always going to be a faster

01:18:30

way to make something

01:18:31

there's no i don't know if there's

01:18:34

really much debate about that right like

01:18:35

starting with a pre-made human and

01:18:37

sculpting

01:18:38

a costume on them is easier and simpler

01:18:40

and faster

01:18:42

than um hoping if

01:18:46

from scratch with nothing same with

01:18:48

painting right starting with a photo and

01:18:50

painting on top or

01:18:52

or collage is is likely going to be

01:18:54

easier than painting that same thing

01:18:56

from from just paint strokes so

01:19:00

just kind of think of it that way

01:19:03

you're starting from a zbrush is easy to

01:19:05

equate to

01:19:06

traditional sculpting right so think of

01:19:09

it like

01:19:11

if you're starting from a sphere every

01:19:12

time you're just starting from a block

01:19:13

of clay

01:19:15

if you're starting from a base mesh

01:19:16

you're starting from an armature

01:19:18

with proportions play on it but you can

01:19:22

adjust but yes it's still it's it's something

01:19:25

that's already got a pretty

01:19:27

heavy foundation within it just kind of

01:19:29

think of it that way

01:19:30

it's not bad it's not worse it's

01:19:33

efficient is different but it's not

01:19:34

always

01:19:36

always about efficiency especially if

01:19:38

you're just starting

01:19:54

[Music]

01:19:59

i don't want them to have like crazy

01:20:01

especially because i made this dude it

01:20:02

was like incredibly um

01:20:06

defined cheekbones

01:20:09

right this does this dude

01:20:12

[Music]

01:20:14

i kind of want somebody who's a little

01:20:15

rounder and a little softer

01:20:18

in the party

01:20:32

there's no sucker for a mustache so

01:20:34

every time i do this accidental large

01:20:36

stroke i'm like hmm

01:20:40

[Music]

01:20:42

there are no happy accidents

01:20:48

we use what we're given

01:21:10

look like mario luigi

01:21:17

did this

01:21:26

you kind of like this little lip shape

01:21:28

though so i'm going to try to

01:21:30

play with that

01:21:42

[Music]

01:21:52

so i like using the damian standard

01:21:54

brush just kind of adds like a carving

01:21:55

brush

01:21:56

uh sometimes you can use it like what

01:21:58

i'm doing right now so this was the base

01:21:59

form

01:22:00

and so just carving in like maybe what

01:22:02

maybe what the ankle could be like

01:22:04

seeing what it could be like

01:22:07

maybe adjusting some shapes afterwards

01:22:10

say is this the shape that i want yes or

01:22:12

no

01:22:14

okay we'll continue

01:22:31

like i said i'm kind of enjoying doing

01:22:33

something with some rounder shapes

01:22:34

because a lot of the times

01:22:36

things that we do are not like that

01:23:04

hmm

01:23:07

at this point sometimes once i start to

01:23:09

get a face i like to see a little bit

01:23:10

more of the body

01:23:15

does that just feel like a kid

01:23:19

i feel like a halfling let's get some of

01:23:21

these

01:23:23

taller dudes in here for scale

01:23:36

[Music]

01:23:40

this game would be like yay big

01:23:50

[Music]

01:24:00

oh

01:24:14

is

01:24:21

sculpting kind of from a distance

01:24:22

because i want to

01:24:26

i was saying earlier you know respect

01:24:27

kind of the

01:24:32

try to get these features in

01:24:39

i need some eyebrows

01:24:44

[Music]

01:25:07

[Music]

01:25:12

[Music]

01:25:32

so kind of like that but i'm gonna pass

01:25:35

on it for now

01:25:42

[Music]

01:25:44

i've mostly made this feel like a child

01:25:47

which is not intentional

01:25:51

some ways it is right it said i wanted

01:25:53

rounder shapes

01:25:56

[Music]

01:25:59

uh do i use this antique it seems like

01:26:01

all pros use one no

01:26:03

i don't i use a tablet i think you'd

01:26:05

actually be shocked at the amount of

01:26:06

people that use tablets

01:26:08

uh because it's a lot there is a heavy

01:26:11

amount of users that do use

01:26:14

cintiqs uh but there's a lot of people

01:26:18

a lot of people that i know uh will use

01:26:22

[Music]

01:26:24

uh tablets

01:26:25

[Music]

01:26:31

here so maybe we'll find this a little

01:26:34

bit

01:26:36

a little character

01:27:22

[Music]

01:27:30

foreign

01:27:53

i don't really like the eyes that i've

01:27:55

sculpted here so i'm gonna try to get

01:27:58

some

01:28:00

little more attention in here

01:28:22

[Music]

01:28:40

do

01:28:47

[Music]

01:28:54

so the mesh that i actually have doesn't

01:28:57

have

01:28:58

enough resolution to really to really

01:29:01

push some of these shapes without going a

01:29:03

little higher

01:29:04

so what i do is i just start sculpting

01:29:07

uh with

01:29:08

the damian standard brush in reverse to

01:29:11

try to really push

01:29:14

as much as i possibly can

01:29:21

with both of the other ones that you see

01:29:23

in the background i actually ended up

01:29:24

sculpting

01:29:25

both of those using

01:29:29

the planes of the head and then using

01:29:32

certain elements of that to be

01:29:35

dynamesh so like the head was dynamesh

01:29:37

and the rest of it was separate

01:29:40

that's what i'm doing a little differently and i'm sculpting just the

01:29:44

whole thing in one mesh which is all one

01:29:46

single thing

01:29:48

with its own challenges but it also has

01:29:50

its own advantages i want these eyes to

01:29:52

be a little bigger though

01:30:00

i'm gonna make a mask that i can kind of

01:30:02

fade in now when i scale them at first

01:30:07

it's going to do that

01:30:08

which is that's what we don't want

01:30:13

so what's going to happen is what you

01:30:15

see is it starts pushing them outward

01:30:18

if you turn on this l sim which is local

01:30:21

symmetry right here

01:30:22

it'll move from the center of the pivot

01:30:25

now obviously that's going to create our

01:30:26

own issues you can see on the right here

01:30:28

it's creating some problems

01:30:30

uh the center actual line is is getting

01:30:33

blurred

01:30:34

so i'm going to try to go a little bit

01:30:37

here

01:30:38

and then it means that the eyes are

01:30:40

going to have to kind of go outward a

01:30:46

little

01:30:49

and knowing that the character is going

01:30:50

to be you know yay tall

01:30:52

the eyes being bigger uh will help quite

01:30:55

a bit

01:30:57

[Music]

01:30:59

they read better

01:31:06

[Music]

01:31:18

of course now i need to blend all that

01:31:20

in meaning

01:31:21

i changed a pretty key feature of the

01:31:25

face

01:31:26

[Music]

01:31:29

i need to make it work

01:31:47

[Music]

01:32:10

me

01:32:28

[Music]

01:32:38

brexit i'm just gonna add a little bit

01:32:42

of texture of the whole thing

01:32:44

uh i said this before but one of the

01:32:46

things i like doing

01:32:48

with the texture or why i just kind of

01:32:50

i'm going over the whole surface just

01:32:51

kind of like

01:32:52

this this which is very soft

01:32:56

with the clay buildup brush the reason i

01:32:59

like doing that

01:33:00

is because it breaks up just some of the

01:33:03

the smoothness there was a

01:33:04

question earlier in the stream or a

01:33:06

comment earlier in the stream

01:33:08

about you know feeling like uh you know

01:33:13

always struggling to make everything

01:33:15

feel smooth and i think that they were

01:33:16

sculpting a helmet

01:33:17

mark one from what i recall but

01:33:21

one of the things that i struggle with

01:33:23

or did especially

01:33:24

this is kind of why i do this now is to

01:33:26

to help myself

01:33:28

but when i was starting sculpting i

01:33:30

really struggled a lot with

01:33:33

making sure that every form or feeling

01:33:34

like every form i sculpted had to be

01:33:36

perfect

01:33:40

it doesn't have to be so what i do now

01:33:42

is i kind of will once i get to a point

01:33:44

where i'm

01:33:45

feeling not stuck but i'm feeling like

01:33:47

i'm not entirely sure of where to go

01:33:50

uh i'll take this and sometimes i'll

01:33:52

just turn down the intensity too

01:33:54

like i just did and just kind of cover

01:33:57

the whole surface because it gives it

01:33:58

this nice little texture in this pattern

01:34:00

and it makes it in some ways it makes it

01:34:01

feel more like clay

01:34:03

in some ways it makes it feel just more

01:34:05

traditional but it definitely breaks up

01:34:07

the monotony of the overall surface

01:34:10

being perfectly cg and perfectly you know all

01:34:13

these highlights that you see

01:34:14

especially like in the areas where i

01:34:16

haven't sculpted like this are so

01:34:18

perfect and machined that it's

01:34:20

impossible for that to be

01:34:22

hand sculpted right it's not impossible

01:34:25

but

01:34:26

it'd be very difficult and so what this

01:34:29

does and adding this little bit of

01:34:30

texture that i like to put in here

01:34:32

uh does is it gives it a little bit of a

01:34:34

pattern

01:34:35

that breaks away from that and it also

01:34:37

gives you as an artist

01:34:39

you know we were joking about it earlier

01:34:40

when i was messing around in wonder

01:34:41

draft

01:34:42

but happy little accidents happy little

01:34:44

mistakes like searching for a happy

01:34:46

accident

01:34:47

uh it gives you lots more information to

01:34:50

do that with

01:34:51

you know where can i put a wrinkle where

01:34:53

can i create a form where can i

01:34:56

uh what can what can i emphasize to make

01:34:58

this more interesting

01:35:06

so now that i've kind of done that

01:35:08

you'll see what i have is is there's a

01:35:10

lot of these little marks

01:35:11

like all these little marks all over the

01:35:13

face so now i can use those

01:35:14

so i can say like maybe there is a

01:35:18

maybe there's some sort of a design on

01:35:20

them right i can use this

01:35:22

line and i can you know it's a design or

01:35:25

is it a you know for doing

01:35:28

robotics and hard surface stuff right

01:35:30

this could be a form

01:35:39

right and then i can start using others

01:35:42

within here to start defining that as

01:35:54

well

01:36:13

i went a little heavy on the

01:36:17

menstruation but i kind of like some of

01:36:18

the shapes that it's been creating

01:36:42

[Music]

01:36:50

me

01:36:55

[Music]

01:37:08

[Music]

01:37:17

one of the downsides of using the whole

01:37:20

mesh

01:37:21

right is what i've been doing before is

01:37:23

i have been sculpting

01:37:26

eyes right it's a little harder for me

01:37:29

to do now

01:37:30

i can sculpt it in but i'll have to

01:37:31

really up the level

01:37:34

of the subdivisions be able to be able

01:37:37

to get that or i'm gonna have to split

01:37:39

the head off entirely which is kind of

01:37:40

what i already did here

01:37:46

still not loving this pose

01:37:50

[Music]

01:38:03

i almost kind of liked the idea of this

01:38:05

little

01:38:13

removing the idea of being a half

01:38:14

language sort of that little astro boy

01:38:16

type

01:38:26

i'm kind of getting into this

01:38:36

just take a little diversion and see

01:38:38

what we can make

01:39:09

[Music]

01:39:27

[Music]

01:39:53

you

01:40:20

so

01:41:02

so

01:41:05

yeah i'm kind of wanting to take this

01:41:06

just in a different direction

01:41:11

i started to like where this was going

01:41:14

it wasn't necessarily

01:41:15

fitting and the prompt is just kind of

01:41:19

a way for you to get in the zone

01:41:26

i want to see where this goes

01:41:40

so this is most certainly going to

01:41:42

diverge

01:41:44

from what we started off as

01:41:45

[Music]

01:41:48

that's okay

01:42:00

[Music]

01:42:09

[Music]

01:42:12

i also realize i misread the question

01:42:14

earlier it says

01:42:15

why don't you use this antique uh the

01:42:17

reason i don't use this antique

01:42:18

is because the screen gets really hot

01:42:22

i think it's really hot and that kind of

01:42:24

uh

01:42:26

is not my favorite thing to use or

01:42:28

because because of that

01:42:30

and then

01:42:33

the body position that you have to be in

01:42:35

for a lengthy time

01:42:36

it's just a little less comfortable for

01:42:40

me

01:42:54

uh

01:43:02

[Music]

01:43:08

so

01:43:19

[Music]

01:43:36

do

01:44:04

oh

01:44:08

[Music]

01:44:18

oh

01:44:25

[Music]

01:44:51

[Music]

01:45:00

um

01:45:14

oh

01:45:18

what i'm thinking is i want to kind of

01:45:19

bring in some more gestural forms i

01:45:21

don't mind actually this like

01:45:23

sort of shape i don't like this right i

01:45:26

don't know if i love this but i'm kind

01:45:27

of okay maybe bringing in

01:45:31

that's not super you know thin

01:45:38

something about it that i was liking

01:45:44

[Music]

01:45:50

i want to do

01:45:58

i don't know something that's more like

01:46:02

open to something like a wall rather

01:46:04

than like a free freestanding character

01:46:22

okay so let's fix some of this

01:46:36

let's make this let's get into the pose

01:46:38

a little bit i kind of like

01:46:40

the idea of this being

01:46:44

it's just something like this

01:46:46

[Music]

01:46:49

this will help a gun

01:46:59

[Music]

01:47:06

so

01:47:11

[Music]

01:47:18

[Music]

01:47:20

so

01:47:26

[Music]

01:47:34

six

01:47:48

i

01:47:49

[Music]

01:47:59

[Music]

01:48:05

[Music]

01:48:16

um um

01:50:03

[Music]

01:50:22

sculpture

01:50:27

[Music]

01:51:18

so

01:51:28

losing a lot of those forms in the face

01:51:30

though from this angle

01:52:13

[Music]

01:52:35

[Music]

01:52:56

so

01:53:24

uh

01:53:35

[Music]

01:53:47

anybody's got any questions while i'm

01:53:49

working on stuff or what i'm doing i'm

01:53:50

kind of just

01:53:51

free-forming at this point and seeing

01:53:53

what comes out of this because i was

01:53:54

kind of enjoying

01:53:56

the direction that this was going and i

01:53:58

wanted to try to pull it into something

01:54:00

a little different

01:54:02

so i'm gonna see where it goes

01:54:21

[Music]

01:54:34

uh no reference i mean i probably should

01:54:38

right at this point or around this point

01:54:40

i should figure out

01:54:41

i mean to be honest i'm still really

01:54:43

trying to figure out exactly what i'm

01:54:44

doing

01:54:46

um there's elements of that i'm liking

01:54:49

and so i'm trying to

01:54:51

to take those

01:54:54

and keep them right i'm trying to say

01:54:56

like okay what is that i like

01:54:59

i keep that if possible what is but what

01:55:01

is it and really trying to figure out

01:55:02

what it is is it the shape of the head

01:55:04

is it the body is it the pose is it the

01:55:07

gesture what is it that i'm liking

01:55:22

what i am liking is kind of the the

01:55:24

large

01:55:27

forms in the face that are creating some

01:55:29

gesture i'm a big fan of of lines that

01:55:31

won't like i'll do it like right now

01:55:32

this is actually probably what i should

01:55:33

have done is

01:55:34

create a bold mark right so i have

01:55:37

a line like this with something that i'm

01:55:39

seeing

01:55:41

in the face i want to do that i want to

01:55:44

replicate that through the body and so

01:55:46

that's what some what you're seeing here

01:55:48

so

01:55:55

i'm going to come in with like a little

01:55:57

a little more intensity on this brush

01:56:26

so

01:56:40

so

01:57:08

c

01:57:11

[Music]

01:57:22

foreign

01:57:24

[Music]

01:57:35

i'm getting into like sort of a fairy

01:57:38

planned look

01:58:11

[Music]

01:58:46

foreign

01:59:27

and in this way it's actually different

01:59:29

than the ways that i was working before

01:59:31

uh i'm working off of one location this

01:59:34

is kind of countered

01:59:35

a lot of the streams that i've done

01:59:36

before where i would start

01:59:38

in you know the base mesh get the pose

01:59:41

and work my way up that's kind of for

01:59:43

the past two how we've been doing it

01:59:45

this is actually almost exactly the

01:59:47

opposite of

01:59:48

i found something i liked here

01:59:52

and i've been starting to work on that

01:59:56

and then after working on that i'm

01:59:59

working my way out

02:00:00

from outwards from that

02:00:16

[Music]

02:00:39

so

02:00:53

and so all those little you know

02:00:55

adjustments i was making earlier some of

02:00:57

them i'm going to keep most of them i

02:00:58

probably won't

02:01:34

foreign

02:02:30

do

02:02:44

so

02:03:10

i guess in case anybody's joining now

02:03:12

it's kind of secure what we've been

02:03:13

doing

02:03:14

uh we started with a different character

02:03:16

which is actually this character and so

02:03:18

we were exploring

02:03:20

uh this this is based off of one of the

02:03:22

random generators we've done before

02:03:24

and then now i kind of pushed

02:03:27

a little bit of a different direction

02:03:28

and kind of been exploring uh just

02:03:30

somewhere

02:03:31

i guess a more feminine version but also

02:03:33

a just kind of an entirely different

02:03:35

character here so

02:03:37

um was starting to dig some of the stuff

02:03:39

that was happening and just taking it

02:03:41

another direction

02:03:42

before that we had also been playing

02:03:43

around in wonder draft which is a map

02:03:46

making program

02:03:47

uh which is pretty fun uh if you're

02:03:49

interested in playing around with that

02:03:51

it's it's a cool program that lets you make

02:03:53

this stuff um

02:03:54

relatively easily so i definitely

02:03:56

recommend checking it out

02:04:07

now what i want to do is actually want

02:04:08

to start adding some elements to this

02:04:10

that break the silhouette so if i turn off

02:04:13

painting on this

02:04:15

and i hit v you'll see that the

02:04:16

silhouette is pretty bare at this point

02:04:18

right it's just standard standard human

02:04:22

humanoid and so i want to break that up

02:04:24

by adding some either some design

02:04:26

elements or something that's going to

02:04:28

kind of bring a little bit more life to

02:04:29

it so i can either

02:04:31

start pulling pieces off right and then

02:04:32

we can do

02:04:34

it as part of the costume like i kind of

02:04:36

like what that was doing

02:04:37

[Music]

02:04:40

that was just that to create that

02:04:43

right so before

02:04:46

after

02:04:50

now maybe we use that as a as a starting

02:04:53

point [Music]

02:04:55

i mask this and i already have some

02:04:56

lines drawn out so what i can use

02:04:58

so i can continue to use those lines

02:05:00

maybe and we'll say that that's like the

02:05:03

starting point for maybe where some of

02:05:04

this is going to go

02:05:06

at this point we can also look into

02:05:10

color as an option as well

02:05:25

[Music]

02:05:32

so

02:05:41

[Music]

02:05:46

um

02:06:00

uh

02:06:18

[Music]

02:06:29

[Music]

02:06:35

[Music]

02:06:45

[Music]

02:07:09

using some of those little things that

02:07:10

i've been doing i'm going to pull some

02:07:12

of these shapes out so like

02:07:14

we're going to sculpt this roughly but

02:07:16

we'll get a pretty good idea i kind of

02:07:18

you know we talked about it's almost

02:07:20

getting getting into like a little bit

02:07:22

of a plant

02:07:24

looking like a fairy into me that kind

02:07:25

of is getting into like plant

02:07:28

if you're using plants as part of their

02:07:29

costume

02:07:33

these are um you know this could be like

02:07:36

a little headdress

02:07:44

made from something plant-like right

02:07:59

[Music]

02:08:05

[Music]

02:08:11

[Music]

02:08:21

[Music]

02:08:27

[Music]

02:09:04

the this is the main area i've really

02:09:06

focused on so some of this is starting

02:09:08

to work for me there's still some really

02:09:09

odd posture things that i need to fix

02:09:11

especially from the profile which is

02:09:13

looking very strange

02:09:26

[Music]

02:09:47

there's also element of it is like right

02:09:49

now i've kind of sort of gone for this

02:09:50

very

02:09:52

like rhythmic like you know this kind of

02:09:54

a shape

02:09:55

where it's like it's doing this worth

02:10:01

and basically by just doing this you can

02:10:03

even just do

02:10:04

what i'm doing now in and out and in and

02:10:06

out right

02:10:07

you can start to get some designs and

02:10:09

you just kind of keep

02:10:10

elements of that right and you say

02:10:14

you know there's your character right

02:10:16

it's it's a

02:10:18

pretty straightforward idea um

02:10:22

there's something about this angle that

02:10:25

is creating sort of a

02:10:26

slightly off element to it

02:10:29

right and i think that that's what could

02:10:31

be really interesting

02:10:33

is that little bit of difference

02:10:36

right that little bit of like

02:10:39

something just slightly being different

02:10:42

um

02:10:44

not working a hundred percent maybe

02:10:47

that's what i want to bring in is like

02:10:48

this sort of jaggedness to it

02:10:50

occasionally and so

02:10:51

uh that's what i'm trying to figure out

02:10:54

how i can bring it in

02:10:55

the questioning that says uh from twitch

02:10:58

is saying do you usually sculpt it

02:10:59

closed

02:11:00

right on the model rather than on a

02:11:01

separate layer uh no it really depends

02:11:04

for something like i'm doing today where

02:11:06

i'm just exploring yeah

02:11:08

i'll just sculpt them right on the model

02:11:12

uh if i'm doing it for you know a game

02:11:14

or something different

02:11:15

i would want to make it as a separate

02:11:16

piece and that's kind of what we've done

02:11:18

on these characters here so previous

02:11:19

characters

02:11:20

um you know these guys have like

02:11:25

all these are little different pieces

02:11:26

that can go on and can come off

02:11:28

so this is a head is a separate piece

02:11:29

and the body is a separate piece and

02:11:32

the belt and the pants and everything

02:11:34

individually

02:11:36

are separate pieces

02:11:39

with this one right so you have

02:11:43

the head you have the body

02:11:47

ants you have every every bit the hair

02:11:50

the hat the vest

02:11:53

the sleeves the undershirt

02:11:57

all this stuff is on separate layers

02:12:06

for this because i'm just exploring

02:12:30

[Music]

02:12:37

[Music]

02:12:48

[Music]

02:12:52

what i'm doing now is i'm going to push

02:12:53

it until it really breaks

02:12:55

so what i'm going to do is i'm going to

02:12:57

save before i push everything around

02:13:00

by hitting a point where it's okay it's

02:13:02

some of it's working so it's not working

02:13:05

so i'm gonna try to break it but push it

02:13:08

till it breaks

[Music]

02:17:47

[Music]

02:17:53

what is the key factor i got a question

02:17:55

from youtube what is the key factor in

02:17:57

designing a realistic

02:17:59

3d character sculpt

02:18:04

uh that's a really hard question um i

02:18:06

don't think there's one specific key

02:18:08

factor but i think it's

02:18:09

it's really just the same as if you're

02:18:10

designing in 2d

02:18:12

uh having an understanding of the design

02:18:15

of what you're wanting to make

02:18:18

[Music]

02:18:21

having an ideal a form and design and

02:18:23

rhythm and balance and

02:18:25

you know just kind of it just kind of

02:18:27

comes down to saying

02:18:28

[Music]

02:18:30

how do you make a good design first

02:18:32

right whether it's 3d or 2d

02:18:34

it doesn't really matter uh it's it's

02:18:37

about

02:18:39

finding something that works just in

02:18:40

general so understanding

02:18:43

appealing shapes being able to find

02:18:45

things that are

02:18:47

you know that are cool that are

02:18:50

appealing that you like

02:18:52

that other people seem to like is it a

02:18:54

key element of that

02:18:56

but it's it's not so much about being in

02:19:04

3d

02:19:10

i think this could almost be like petals

02:19:15

[Music]

02:19:17

a rose or flower

02:19:32

this is still looking very very human

02:19:34

and i think that might be okay i mean

02:19:36

there's a lot of things

02:19:38

this is clearly like kind of being

02:19:40

inspired by so

02:19:47

maybe this is all flower petals and

02:19:51

this character is actually quite small

02:19:53

or maybe the place they live this stuff

02:19:55

is huge right

02:20:00

it could be an option

02:20:08

[Music]

02:20:14

[Music]

02:20:25

[Music]

02:20:28

so

02:21:34

uh are we expecting any talks or

02:21:36

presentations by naughty dog focusing on

02:21:38

the technical side of their latest

02:21:40

release the last of us part two i'm not

02:21:42

sure if this question should be made

02:21:43

here

02:21:44

uh i assume you're asking about if there

02:21:46

will be an event by naughty dog

02:21:49

uh we have been asking them to do an

02:21:51

event but i know they've been very busy

02:21:53

so maybe at some point we'll get a

02:21:55

naughty dog event

02:22:20

so

02:23:41

i'm not so sure about the rest of the

02:23:43

body so probably will hide all this for

02:23:45

today

02:23:47

even the hands

02:23:56

let's just do this

02:24:04

looking at this posture that i don't

02:24:05

love from the profile

02:24:08

i was trying not to do something where

02:24:10

you know you kind of do this

02:24:14

from this bus perspective it's going to

02:24:17

feel a lot better

02:24:24

i mean

02:24:41

we're gonna do is we will just go like

02:24:43

this

02:24:45

press it up as high as we can

02:25:07

split this apart

02:25:10

didn't really do exactly what i wanted

02:25:17

okay clip it

02:25:35

i'm going to duplicate this one

02:25:40

[Music]

02:25:45

i don't know i see

02:26:10

oops

02:26:13

well there's something there i think it

02:26:15

needs another pass and probably a fresh

02:26:17

set of eyes i think i'm kind of at the

02:26:18

point now with this where it's kind of

02:26:20

like you know i've got i've got this right

02:26:23

and i know i would probably want to

02:26:25

develop it a little further i think it

02:26:27

does look better with

02:26:29

this included probably somewhere in here

02:26:34

something down here so the selection

02:26:37

makes more sense but something like this

02:26:38

feels like it's

02:26:39

kind of what's working the most um

02:26:44

still a lot of issues that i would want

02:26:46

to work out i think the face is kind of

02:26:48

just a little too generic

02:26:52

like i want to i want to add

02:26:55

something to this that makes it feel

02:26:59

and just changing the nose is definitely

02:27:02

doable

02:27:03

right like we can change it to make it

02:27:05

do something like that

02:27:07

we can

02:27:10

for some reason just just removing a

02:27:12

nose or completely changing a nose

02:27:14

i can give you a lot of freedom

02:27:24

so i think if we even just started with

02:27:42

this

02:28:07

i don't know

02:29:19

[Music]

02:29:27

[Music]

02:29:35

[Music]

02:29:48

hmm

02:29:52

[Music]

02:30:02

[Music]

02:30:13

[Music]

02:30:15

i do go back every now and then and look

02:30:18

for reference like this is kind of a

02:30:19

point where i was saying it's like

02:30:20

it feels like i need something

02:30:24

to i think i've got elements in here

02:30:28

that i like right i'm just but at this point i'm

02:30:30

really just noodling

02:30:32

to be honest so it's kind of like i need

02:30:34

to go back in

02:30:37

and find some reference

02:30:40

[Music]

02:30:41

or i need to find some photos or i need

02:30:44

to

02:30:46

a little bit of inspiration or just

02:30:49

something i need to find something

02:30:50

that's gonna make this

02:30:52

better uh me sitting here and noodling

02:30:55

for

02:30:56

you know another hour two three four

02:30:59

five hours i'll probably

02:31:00

find something that i like right i'll

02:31:02

probably find something that's

02:31:03

interesting or i'll find something

02:31:04

that's

02:31:05

um effective

02:31:09

but it might not be as unique it might

02:31:12

not be as cool

02:31:14

right it might not be you know

02:31:18

i can sit here and spin and try to find

02:31:21

things all day long

02:31:25

but is it gonna be

02:31:28

what it needs to be and the answer is i

02:31:30

don't know so

02:31:31

that's kind of where it's like you know

02:31:33

we kind of got this what's turned into

02:31:34

sort of this

02:31:37

asia fairy sort of thing so i would

02:31:41

maybe go and look for some inspiration

02:31:43

off of that

02:31:46

see how it looks

02:31:50

or say you know i don't i want to pull

02:31:52

away from

02:31:53

from x of this i'm not i'm not liking

02:31:56

this about it

02:31:57

you know how can i how can i change that

02:32:00

part

02:32:01

and that's also another thing you can do

02:32:03

with references is to help you

02:32:05

move away from something as well

02:32:12

[Music]

02:32:20

as we fall in love

02:32:28

[Music]

02:32:31

i think the challenging thing like uh

02:32:34

pro

02:32:35

4210 just said in twitch is it's just

02:32:38

kind of fun to do this so it's hard

02:32:40

sometimes to come in and be like oh like

02:32:43

i want to go look for reference or i

02:32:44

want to make that want to

02:32:46

do that because i am enjoying

02:32:49

just kind of sketching

02:32:52

it's not like i'm especially looking for

02:32:54

something specific

02:32:57

you know from where i was here to where

02:32:59

i was here

02:33:01

before we did all that like oh i'll save

02:33:04

a new version it'll be easier

02:33:26

that's what we started with before that

02:33:31

so you know we did a decent change on

02:33:34

the face here and i think that this

02:33:35

overall looks

02:33:37

looks better

02:33:41

this feels just like a human and i think

02:33:43

we're getting into some more interesting

02:33:44

things which is cool

02:33:46

so i like that

02:33:53

now i might go like we had talked about

02:33:55

some plants i might go research some

02:33:57

plants

02:33:58

i might see maybe what other

02:34:00

inspirations we could bring

02:34:02

into this like i was for some reason i

02:34:04

was remembering the movie

02:34:06

james and the giant peach and like the

02:34:08

bugs and the spiders and stuff that were

02:34:10

in that

02:34:11

maybe there's an element of that but

02:34:12

this could be brought into so that it

02:34:14

could also be bringing in some insect

02:34:16

reference which could be

02:34:17

nice right um

02:34:20

[Music]

02:34:23

we could research

02:34:30

a lot of different stuff you know

02:34:31

there's so many different things you can

02:34:33

start looking into

02:34:37

for me those are the initial things i

02:34:38

could start going aquatic with it and

02:34:40

say maybe there's some

02:34:41

is there like if this person lives in an

02:34:44

aquatic region is there something that

02:34:49

i could look at that would give me sort

02:34:51

of an aquatic feeling

02:34:53

underwater plants underwater animals

02:34:57

you know if i want to be like oh you

02:34:58

know there's

02:35:00

there's gills like that's easy right

02:35:02

there you go

02:35:03

she lives underwater but uh that's not

02:35:05

really

02:35:07

thoughtful right now i'm kind of at the

02:35:09

point where i need to put a little thought into it i think

02:35:11

we're probably gonna wrap this up in

02:35:12

just a minute

02:35:14

we might jump back into our map

02:35:41

[Music]

02:35:52

sessions

02:36:31

[Music]

02:36:48

hey

02:37:16

so

02:37:22

i would love to see how i work through

02:37:24

that creative process

02:37:25

uh yeah we could do that in another

02:37:27

stream maybe i mean maybe that's what

02:37:28

we'll do for the next stream with this

02:37:30

character

02:37:31

uh or another character we've got a

02:37:32

bunch that we've kind of stocked up at

02:37:34

this point

02:37:35

um to just kind of go through and and

02:37:38

see

02:37:39

what we could do right i have some ideas

02:37:42

like

02:37:43

for a game this might fit into i've

02:37:46

wanted to

02:37:49

something with spiders for something for

02:37:50

a while so maybe this could be like a

02:37:54

spider queen and you know

02:37:57

we could start getting into like you

02:37:59

know

02:38:01

all that like because there's a lot of

02:38:02

really beautiful things that you can do

02:38:04

with webs right so we could really

02:38:06

play up that texture right the plants

02:38:10

that they're

02:38:11

attached to the structure of that

02:38:15

the repetition of that like we could get

02:38:17

into some of that

02:38:19

maybe that's a maybe that's something we

02:38:20

do for next stream

02:38:31

[Music]

02:38:42

[Music]

02:39:04

[Music]

02:39:15

of course thank you for coming

02:39:25

[Music]

02:40:03

[Music]

02:40:46

so

02:40:48

[Music]

02:41:42

hmm

02:41:57

[Music]

02:42:03

it looks like our bot just posted uh if

02:42:05

you guys have any questions about any of

02:42:07

our gnomon classes or

02:42:09

curriculums or programs or anything like

02:42:10

that feel free to fill out that paper

02:42:12

form

02:42:14

form you'll get in contact with our

02:42:15

admissions team they can help you

02:42:17

with anything anything regarding any of

02:42:20

those things so

02:42:21

feel free to chat with them they're

02:42:23

awesome so highly recommended

02:42:52

hmm

02:42:55

[Music]

02:43:01

[Music]

02:43:06

me

02:43:16

trying to get a little over detailed and

02:43:18

it's kind of hard to focus my eye around

02:43:20

certain parts of this right now because

02:43:21

it's kind of doing this

02:43:23

this effect that's kind of like this

02:43:29

maybe that's part of what the intent of

02:43:30

the character is so i might need to when

02:43:32

it comes to

02:43:33

color i need to really focus on that

02:43:35

meaning like

02:43:36

we'll just do a quick color paint job

02:43:38

here

02:43:40

we'll just use black and white so i'm

02:43:42

going to use like a really dark

02:43:43

gray uh which is gonna be almost black

02:43:47

for you guys so i'm gonna go like this

02:43:48

color here

02:43:50

and we'll say like let's maybe just fill

02:43:52

the whole thing

02:43:54

[Music]

02:43:56

so i might need to focus or find a way

02:43:59

to focus

02:44:04

the face so you

02:44:07

just doesn't need to be just in value it

02:44:10

can be and this is working

02:44:11

right if it's a really effective way to

02:44:13

do this

02:44:15

uh but when you have a lot of stuff

02:44:18

going on in your design

02:44:20

you can rely on other elements of design

02:44:22

that are not just

02:44:23

you know the lines and the shapes and

02:44:25

all that uh if you want to push those

02:44:27

back a little bit more

02:44:28

you can take them in

02:44:33

focus with contrast or color

02:44:39

this way we're getting sort of that

02:44:40

queen amidala look

02:45:06

[Music]

02:45:13

i'm going to continue that we could

02:45:14

maybe i'll just

02:45:17

fill this with this color

02:45:19

[Music]

02:45:24

i'll separate objects now because i

02:45:26

thought that would have been a good idea

02:45:36

[Music]

02:45:41

[Music]

02:45:50

a couple different ways right

02:46:02

[Music]

02:46:08

okay

02:46:14

[Music]

02:46:22

so

02:46:25

let's set you know plants and flowers

02:46:28

and this is definitely getting into more

02:46:29

like a

02:46:32

darker element and so maybe we bring in

02:46:46

there's these brilliant green

02:46:50

maybe brighter greens

02:46:55

[Music]

02:47:03

find ways to bring in a little bit of

02:47:05

color

02:47:09

first if we want to go even darker we

02:47:10

just go black like pure black

02:47:13

[Music]

02:47:15

and zbrush we're using a matte cap turns

02:47:17

to absolutely nothing so it's going to

02:47:19

look a little odd

02:47:20

but it is an option that we have

02:47:24

i kind of like starting with this which

02:47:26

is just having

02:47:27

you know the basics done what i'll do

02:47:31

at this point is

02:47:37

this all into

02:47:44

kind of digging this direction a little

02:47:54

[Music]

02:48:04

uh we are using zbrush today

02:48:25

[Music]

02:48:52

and sometimes what i'll do is i actually

02:48:54

just start treating the

02:48:55

model at a certain point i could add

02:48:57

some more subdivisions

02:48:58

but i'll start treating the model almost

02:49:01

just as a

02:49:02

drawing on it at a certain point so i'll

02:49:04

start sketching in

02:49:06

you know as you can see here there's

02:49:08

there's stuff to support some of this

02:49:09

but it's not all there so i could come

02:49:11

in and say

02:49:12

you know maybe there's like a little

02:49:13

thing

02:49:17

right and just treat it as is just

02:49:22

a white color in there

02:49:30

you can treat it as you're just drawing

02:49:32

on it at that point first time i saw

02:49:40

somebody do that i was really

02:49:42

shocked i was like why would you just

02:49:43

draw on it you could just sculpt it

02:49:45

uh and then it kind of was like oh like

02:49:47

i see i see the value in it now because

02:49:49

it's a lot faster

02:49:50

a lot faster

02:50:20

so

02:50:34

so

02:50:42

this might look like nipples and they're

02:50:46

not intending to be

02:50:51

there we go

02:51:05

the eyes are still sculpted you find

02:51:06

that when you make them separate tools

02:51:08

easier it's early it's easier to get the

02:51:11

eyelids right

02:51:12

yes i that's the thing that i i do

02:51:14

sometimes as well is i'll separate them

02:51:17

put some spheres in there and then wrap

02:51:18

the eyelids around them

02:51:20

uh it's a good way to like you're saying

02:51:22

to make sure that they're spherical

02:51:24

right because that eyes are

02:51:28

mostly spherical uh and then especially

02:51:31

if you're going to animate it's a really

02:51:32

good idea to do that early

02:51:34

but i'm doing this kind of stuff

02:51:35

sometimes i find that that creates a

02:51:37

little bit of a problem for me where i'm trying to

02:51:41

spend so much time move the eyes get

02:51:44

them get them set up and then resculpt

02:51:46

the shape and really what i'm looking

02:51:47

for is kind of like the overall

02:51:50

graphic look right that rather than

02:51:54

what i have now

02:52:13

[Music]

02:52:17

i'm using a wacom intuos5

02:52:29

[Music]

02:52:36

now the rest of the body that i have is

02:52:40

not going to look as good

02:52:42

right because i only focus on the head

02:52:44

so we've talked about this a couple of

02:52:46

times but like

02:52:47

the difference between starting in one

02:52:50

place and that we're working the whole

02:52:52

character right in this stream we only

02:52:53

had about we had about two hours was the

02:52:55

previous streams we had about four

02:52:57

um what you'll see is i think that this

02:53:01

face is probably more well

02:53:04

well defined than these ones are a

02:53:07

little priest caller

02:53:15

i think overall design i think that this

02:53:18

one is probably getting a little closer

02:53:23

as compared to these ones which are the

02:53:25

ones we did

02:53:26

the previous streams right you can see

02:53:28

how just how early these all are

02:53:30

these we're getting the full character

02:53:32

right we're getting a full sense of the

02:53:33

character we're getting a general

02:53:35

idea of of who they are

02:53:38

right so we've got a whole character we

02:53:40

could print this out if we wanted to

02:53:41

we could you know do

02:53:45

present best to say this is the vibe of

02:53:46

the character uh

02:53:48

similar with this one right we can do

02:53:51

the same

02:53:52

this is the vibe of the character that

02:53:53

you're getting whereas this one if we're

02:53:55

to present this

02:53:57

we have this which we can present and

02:53:59

say this is kind of what we're thinking

02:54:00

for the face

02:54:01

for the tech for the general idea of the

02:54:04

character but we're not really able to

02:54:06

say like here's the whole body right now

02:54:08

because

02:54:09

because i spent a little bit more time

02:54:10

and just focused on one direction

02:54:12

now what that means i have to do is now

02:54:15

i have to take the body and i have to

02:54:16

spend all this other time

02:54:19

matching what i have right both in a

02:54:21

costume element-wise

02:54:23

uh for costumes for general proportions

02:54:26

for for all of that so there's there's

02:54:29

this is sort of a

02:54:30

you know not really a debate but it's

02:54:31

just kind of a difference of style

02:54:33

right so if you want to be somebody who

02:54:35

focuses on

02:54:37

um a whole character that's great

02:54:40

you know i think that there's benefits

02:54:41

to that i wish i did the whole character

02:54:44

so i had this one

02:54:45

as is because i'm kind of liking the

02:54:47

direction that it's going uh but now i

02:54:49

have a pretty clear idea of where it

02:54:50

should go or where it could go

02:54:51

so um yeah kind of different

02:54:54

different ways of working for sure um

02:54:57

but yeah definitely a big difference

02:54:59

from what we were doing

02:55:00

i'm gonna save this

02:55:06

like we were kind of at

02:55:10

here for a while

02:55:14

so we went from this

02:55:25

to this

02:55:29

scopes themselves are not vastly

02:55:32

different there's a lot more detail and

02:55:33

there's a lot more

02:55:35

thought as far as what certain things

02:55:36

are doing uh but it sort of started to

02:55:39

all tie together once the

02:55:41

uh paintwork came in

02:55:44

got a question from twitch saying

02:55:46

question about eyes in general i noticed

02:55:48

there are a few

02:55:49

artists that rotate the eyes slightly

02:55:51

outwards and i was wondering is that

02:55:53

based on actual anatomy information or do you

02:55:55

think it's just an aesthetic choice

02:55:58

um i have seen it done both ways

02:56:01

and i've seen that the eyes are slightly

02:56:04

you know working

02:56:05

in games and stuff i've seen that most

02:56:07

of the time we do angle the eyes very

02:56:09

very slightly outward

02:56:11

and that's because sometimes when

02:56:12

they're just looking straight ahead

02:56:15

uh it looks a little strange especially

02:56:17

in a game or something where something

02:56:19

gets close to the

02:56:20

something cross their eyes it'll look a

02:56:22

little odd

02:56:24

um so i think it's easy

02:56:27

well i think it's based a little bit on

02:56:32

um anatomy but mostly on visual

02:56:39

i think i would like just paint a little

02:56:41

bit of a white glaze

02:57:12

in the chat we just got posted but we

02:57:14

have an event coming up this friday we

02:57:16

have a

02:57:17

virtual info session with our guest

02:57:20

02:57:25

02:58:04

uh friday definitely will be awesome

02:58:07

well

02:58:08

i'm gonna probably keep this up for a

02:58:10

little bit

02:58:11

and maybe uh jump into this for just a

02:58:14

short little bit was what we were

02:58:16

working on before

02:58:17

for a complete different change of pace

02:58:20

um we were kind of making our maps

02:58:22

before this is kind of a fun

02:58:24

cool down so

02:58:27

getting back into wonder draft

02:58:30

have a fun program

02:58:47

i do i do

02:59:11

if you guys have any questions while we

02:59:12

kind of wrap up the rest of the stream

02:59:14

please feel free to ask them

02:59:19

questions about process questions about

02:59:22

[Music]

02:59:26

anything

02:59:30

happy to help

02:59:41

[Music]

02:59:54

[Music]

02:59:59

how do you develop your art style that's

03:00:00

a really good question

03:00:03

it was funny somebody commented like

03:00:04

they could see art styles coming through

03:00:08

uh and i don't even know necessarily

03:00:10

what i would define my art style as

03:00:13

um so i think it's just kind of your

03:00:16

preferences over time

03:00:18

you know your shape choices your shape

03:00:20

language

03:00:22

um projects you work on

03:00:25

[Music]

03:00:28

i think it's just something you you have

03:00:29

to develop over time that's that's yours

03:00:32

right it is it is your style it's not

03:00:34

anybody else's style so

03:00:37

it's kind of important i think to know

03:00:39

or to think about that in that way of

03:00:41

you know don't worry about too much of

03:00:44

trying

03:00:45

to spend too much time to develop it if

03:00:47

you like a certain

03:00:48

person's work then by all means

03:00:51

try take that person's work and use it

03:00:53

as your example of what you want to

03:00:55

paint

03:00:58

you know like if or draw or sculpt or

03:01:00

whatever

03:01:04

that's a fine way to do it

03:01:07

you know if you want to paint like ryan

03:01:09

weiner ding or if you want to

03:01:11

paint like dave raposa or if you want to

03:01:13

paint like

03:01:15

you want to sculpt like whoever

03:01:18

right fatale or raphael garcetti or

03:01:21

or whoever um look at that person's work

03:01:25

and see what it is that makes it

03:01:28

be that and then

03:01:31

try to emulate it

03:01:36

am i a game designer no i'm not a game

03:01:38

designer

03:01:39

i'm just a person making a map right now

03:01:42

we were

03:01:43

in case you're just joining we were

03:01:44

doing some sculpting in zbrush and

03:01:46

kind of made this character and kind of

03:01:47

hitting a point where i feel like i'm

03:01:49

ready to go get some reference and come

03:01:50

back with

03:01:52

um come back with some

03:01:55

more inspiration and thought about where

03:01:57

i want to push it so i'm kind of at a

03:01:58

point with this one where i'm a little

03:01:59

stuck

03:02:00

but we're running out of time today so

03:02:04

let's go back to making a map

03:02:19

[Music]

03:02:28

so

03:02:31

interested to see how many artists play

03:02:32

role playing games i think he'd be

03:02:33

shocked there's quite a bit

03:02:46

the map and the character what relation

03:02:48

between them exactly

03:02:50

see we'd have to figure that out

03:02:55

knowing that we created a

03:02:58

they could go in one of the the four

03:03:01

general locations really

03:03:05

where they could be in a cave and a

03:03:09

[Music]

03:03:10

mountain

03:03:15

why is the mountain on the left

03:03:16

twitching whenever i paint a tree that's

03:03:17

a good question at this one's switching

03:03:19

i've seen a bunch of like this one and

03:03:20

this one i think that

03:03:22

the program is having alpha sorting

03:03:24

which basically is when

03:03:26

two things are sitting on top of each

03:03:27

other so it's probably just trying to

03:03:29

figure out exactly which one

03:03:30

is um you know

03:03:34

on top every time i place an object i

03:03:36

think it's

03:03:38

saving or it's trying to to decipher

03:03:40

like

03:03:41

where where the object i'm putting

03:03:45

is in the stack of things and so it's

03:03:47

constantly

03:03:49

doing that this is called wonder draft

03:04:19

we are just wrapping up our chain we got

03:04:21

five minutes left in our stream today

03:04:22

we're just kind of wrapping up

03:04:24

doing some fun little stuff here

03:04:39

[Music]

03:04:48

do

03:04:51

[Music]

03:05:02

jump

03:05:06

[Music]

03:05:16

[Music]

03:05:24

for concept art portfolio should one

03:05:25

separate illustration

03:05:27

pieces versus actual original concept

03:05:30

designs

03:05:31

or what should portfolios contain

03:05:34

um illustration pieces versus original

03:05:38

concept designs

03:05:39

um that's a tough one you know i think

03:05:41

if you're doing a really

03:05:42

if you're trying to do concept and you

03:05:44

have a a lot of illustration

03:05:47

it doesn't necessarily hurt to have that

03:05:49

in and i think

03:05:50

they're not always the same job right

03:05:53

sometimes they can

03:05:54

they can overlap right and that's

03:05:56

somewhat common

03:05:58

to have that happen um but i think what

03:06:01

you're

03:06:02

you're saying is like how do i

03:06:06

um [Music]

03:06:10

i might separate them i would probably

03:06:11

separate them i guess that's the short

03:06:13

answer of what i'm

03:06:14

getting at without rambling for too long

03:06:23

now this is wonder draft we're playing

03:06:25

in today

03:06:31

[Music]

03:06:40

wow

03:06:54

wow

03:07:14

[Music]

03:07:26

[Music]

03:07:33

[Music]

03:07:36

uh

03:07:39

[Music]

03:07:48

[Music]

03:07:50

uh

03:07:55

[Music]

03:08:04

healthy

03:08:18

huh

03:08:22

[Music]

03:08:24

sweeping off the side effects again

03:08:52

no we were using zbrush before

03:08:56

for this one

03:09:09

a sacrifice

03:09:28

hey

03:09:37

it seems you lost your train of thought

03:09:42

again

03:09:48

don't throw me away

03:10:16

all right everybody that's gonna be it

03:10:18

for the end of our stream

03:10:20

uh thank you everybody for joining and

03:10:22

tuning in uh

03:10:23

it's been a fun day so to kind of recap

03:10:26

what we did we ended up

03:10:27

starting on this for a while to kind of

03:10:29

warm up just kind of explore get into

03:10:31

the art headspace

03:10:32

uh this program was wonder draft if you

03:10:35

were wondering and then we also sculpted for a while

03:10:38

and ended up getting to this point

03:10:40

uh with our character we ended up taking

03:10:41

a a creative turn and

03:10:43

diverging from our original prompt but

03:10:45

kind of finding a

03:10:47

direction that we liked and ended up

03:10:48

getting to to this

03:10:50

so i'm happy with this and probably for

03:10:52

the next stream what we'll end up doing

03:10:54

is um i'll be getting some reference

03:10:58

off stream we'll come back and we'll try

03:11:01

to get the rest of the character which

03:11:02

is

03:11:03

not up to par uh to fit this and we'll

03:11:07

integrate some of that in the future

03:11:10

stream as well

03:11:11

cool i'm going to save this make sure

03:11:14
