Timelapse: Modeling a Human Head in Blender with BMesh

[TraversyKid]

what song is this

[organizedcalamity]

Always amazing to watch you work. The symphony seems fitting to your level of skill.

[johnpimentel100]

wow. how long did it take you to do this?

[perestroikoCore]

blender version??

[CadenBurleson]

This video gave me a boner.

[adlsfreund]

incredible noob question, but i can't answer this myself: are you using orthographic projection for most of the modeling instead of perspective? if so, why?

[ZoyncTV]

anyone know how to use that thing that there using that draws in some lined to the mesh?

[jonathancarter26]

@ZoyncTV I'm using the Grease Pencil. You can draw over your mesh by holding "D" while drawing with your mouse.

[ZoyncTV]

@jonathancarter26 thank you very much! :) that seems like a good tool for planning :) and, sorry to ask more but what about the tool thats used a lot at 0:34? where they add in vertices to blank areas, that are then connected to the side?

[jonathancarter26]

@ZoyncTV That's the new knife tool that I was using (I did the video for BlenderCookie). You can use the new knife tool by pressing K.

[ZoyncTV]

@jonathancarter26 ok thanks very much again :)

[ZoyncTV]

literally the other day i was trying to do this for my art :( i failed and put a face mask with glasses on xD so now it really annoys me that i have seen this and spent all that time trying to do it myself xD

AMAZING :O N U CALL THIS A TEST :O:O:O

[blender3dger]

Fenomenal! eres increible, muy bueno el resultado final!

[pd96music]

How can a get that theme for my blender can you tell me please!?

[Kram1032]

@pd96music Go to graphicall (dot) org and search for BMesh branch builds.

Note that it's not totally stable yet. It's an experimental build.

If you feel like doing anything serious, it has become pretty usable by now but despite that, you should save all couple of minutes using it... At least for now.

[pd96music]

@Kram1032 thanks

[verrekteanusrand]

how long shal it take without timelapse

[SledgeNE]

Very amazing to see what is possible to model with Blender. This looks not so easy for beginners.

[mrjimmyos]

Ah yeah, this tool. It's like a knife tool that words on faces aswell as edges right?

[manucarlos751]

u missed a spot....

[KaiRoland8]

This is when you've done the topology for a head so often it's second nature. Not quite there yet personally. Cool though.

[twowinds]

hmmmm....

[GhostGuy764]

hi i'm new to blender but i was wondering if this could be exported as a 3D printable object like an stl or something

[DjTokenMusic]

i imagine its alot more freeing not having to use CTRL-R and risk messing with the topology

[ehabcharek]

wow, ear modeling looks so much easier with this branch

[Kram1032]

Crazy Skype Dance at the bottom of the screen, lol

This clearly shows that boxmodelling suddenly becomes a LOT more feasable once bmesh is in trunk.

I'm very curious, how BMesh will change the workflow of all you guys from BlenderCookie!

[blendercookie]

@Kram1032 it may make me box model a bit more :)

[Kram1032]

@blendercookie heh, that's likely.

It's Jonathan, right?

Might be a taste-thing but I didn't like the final head very much...

It was more of a proof-of-concept/bmesh-stress-­test than anything serious, wasn't it?

By what you'd normally do, I'm kind of sure, you would have went on tweaking all kinds of stuff for hours before calling it done.

[blendercookie]

@Kram1032 yep Jonathan! You're spot on, this was a test more than anything and is far from a finished model.
