- [Zach] In this video,

let's finish up the modeling process

of the Cubic World human character

by adding the color and the details.

Now, before we continue with
adding the details to the face,

let's actually add the
colors here already,

which I think makes it
easier for us to decide

where to place the details.

So, let's start with a skin color here.

I'll just call it 'male skin',

pick the diffuse shader here

and let's pick a skin color,

something like this.

And let's drag and drop
this on all the elements,

which should have the skin color here,

and the neck,

and the rest on the other side
will be mirrored, of course.

So we don't have to do
this stuff on this side.

Then I wanna have a brownish sweater.

So let's duplicate this material,

call it 'male sweater'.

Pick the diffuse shader here,

and give it like a

slightly reddish, brownish color,

something like this.

And then put it on all the parts

which should have this color.

For the pants, let's use a dark gray.

And a similar tone for the shoes here.

Call it 'male shoes', diffuse.

And maybe make it a
little bit more brownish

darkish brown gray,

something like this

for the shoes.

Yeah, now I think we can imagine

the character much better.

And now let's add the
additional details to the face.

Let's grab one of the
mirrored elements here,

Shift + D.

And what you can do,

you can open up the reference object,

make it selectable,

and add like three loop cuts.

And I think in this case,

let's move it down a bit more

towards the center of the head.

And then you can take this
as reference for the eyes.

Scale this down,

move it over here.

So the eyes for a Cubic character

consists out of three main parts.

We have like the eyelids here.

Let's duplicate the skin color here,

duplicate this and call it 'skin two'

and make it a bit more
reddish in this case,

something like this.

Then Shift D, duplicate this,

make it smaller and thinner

and make this pretty long.

Here, let's just call it 'black'.

It's one of these default materials

which we can use for anything,

which is just pure black.

And the last one is

another duplicate, very small,

which I like to place
somewhere here on the eyes.

Duplicate the color,

call it 'white',

and make it perfect white.

And then we have this reflection here.

Maybe let's remove the gradient here,

which makes the eyes
look a bit more alive.

And I don't use this
general specular color

because it would just
highlight the entire eye,

which wouldn't help here.

Then it's grab the neck,

Shift D, duplicate it, and place it

somewhere here at the middle line,

give it the 'male skin two' color.

Maybe let's scale it a bit wider,

a bit down and in edit mode let's

slide this here down a bit.

Something like this.

And for the mouth, let's
duplicate this part,

place it somewhere here,

Shift D, duplicate this,

put it to the inside, and from this one,

let's remove the mirror modifier,

and actually make sure that this is

perfectly in the center here.

Then let's scale this down a bit.

Move them a bit to the outside,

and to the inside,

so it's not flickering around.

And of course we can scale it a bit wider.

We leave the color with
a secondary skin color.

Then Shift + D, scale it
thinner and also not so high.

Move this back to the
inside and a bit smaller.

Something like this.

Then with Shift let's select one eye,

press Control L and link the material

because this one should be just black.

When the characters open up the mouth,

then we have this black inside.

Then let's grab one of these here,

Shift D, scale it a
bit longer, a bit wider

and not so thick.

And these should become the
ears which I place is roughly

at the height of the eyes.

And a bit more to the
back here on the sides.

Then we need some eyebrows, Shift D.

They should be a bit wider, a bit thinner.

Something like this.

Maybe the entire eye part can be moved to

the inside a bit more.

Then this one here, let's
call it, 'male hair',

the material and give it, I don't know,

brownish yellowish color,

something like this.

So last thing we do here,

let's add some hair,

Shift D, duplicate this
add the male hair color,

and here let's create one object here.

Well, that's good, right?

(laughing)

Scale this down.

Then create another one,
which we make a bit higher.

This one let's, do not make so high.

And then another one, which
we place somewhere here,

which goes up here, then make sure that

they are not intersecting
too much here on the sides.

Then let's create another
one for the top part.

So like for the hairstyle,
you can go pretty crazy

create whatever you like.

And maybe in this case,

I don't want to have these wide hair,

this should be pretty tight to the head.

Maybe the ear could be a bit bigger.

And let's add a tiny detail
here, let's scale this down.

Which makes the hair look
a bit more interesting.

Something like this here.

So maybe the entire face part

could be moved down a tiny bit.

And if you like, you can also
move the hair up a bit so,

he has a bit of a forehead.

But yeah, these are tiny details,

which you can play around with.

Then let's duplicated this
one, make it a bit wider,

scale it down to shape a belt.

Let's duplicate the material.

Make it dark brown.

And duplicate another cube,
place it somewhere here

to form the buckle.

Let's call this 'male metal'.

Make it brighter, and in this
case we add the specular color

so it's reflecting a bit.

Yeah, then let's disable
the reference object,

and let's have a look.

Maybe the legs could be
a little bit wider here

and maybe the arms as well.

Then let's scale the shoulders up a bit.

So some small adjustments here
and that's pretty much it.

So of course you could now
shape everything in detail

for hours but I don't want to
make this video any longer.

So now you have a good understanding

on how to create the shape.

Now to finish this model
up, select everything,

first of all, press Control
A, and apply the scale.

Then, Control A, visual geometry to mesh,

to apply all the modifiers.

Then select one of these objects here

with everything selected, press Control J

to merge everything.

Then with Shift C, make sure
the 3D cursor is down here,

right click Set Origin,
Origin to 3D Cursor.

Then go to edit mode,
select everything, press U,

and Reset the UV Map.

So, we have the nice edge gradients here.

And then of course you can go
in here and adjust the colors.

Maybe this looks too red,
this a bit more dark.

Maybe the mouth is too low here.

So with L you can select
the different parts here

with Shift L you can de-select some.

Then let's move this up a
bit and so on and so forth.

And yeah, now you know how
to create a human character

in the Cubic World style.

And in the next video, I
will show you how to turn

a basic human character into yourself.

See you there.

And of course, if you want
to keep this character,

don't forget to save.
