00:00Hello and welcome. Welcome back to the next video part 4. I am trying to get the model out of
00:07the software and what I've done I've decided to record the screen to see if you can do that apparently
00:14according to someone on the internet if you're recording you get better results now of course the idea would be
00:22to turn your camcorder on your camera and retain that she was an actual human character
00:28you can turn her around like this in the 360 and take all of the images of the character from
00:37this view from this view and from the top view great okay I've already done the process so let's jump
00:46over to the software and let's make the process a bit easier now when you go here right you go
00:52to flow you bring in the project click anyone you want just click that go next
00:57this one is that I don't know the photographs because we have one and load the image this is the
01:05image great the input file okay go here I saved it in my videos then she's there Emma one there's
01:16Emma as you can see I've done a full 360 of it from start to finish right now I want
01:23to tell you to extract all of the images
01:27and I don't need to do this and I don't need to do nothing else and leave it on normal
01:30and what we can do is go here and go extract and now it's cool if you press extract here
01:36it's going to put the photos in the video go here change your file location downloads photos see yeah so
01:47your video goes here and wherever you're going to put your photos put them there right extract
01:55of course it only allows 50 photographs that's what it tells you I don't know how many photographs it's going
02:02to get out of the video
02:05ok we've obviously got more than 50 photographs say sorry the free only allows the process of 50 frames
02:14ok so that's the free version yeah no wonder it's free it's a bit useless it's already loaded go here
02:24of course you want it on the internet I think you don't think so leave it on that go next
02:28and we'll leave it as a standard we'll leave it on your body because that's what it is and let's
02:34make it in fast
02:37no let's put it on deep just to make sure that it actually draws it properly and we'll go here
02:45let's see how long it takes
02:51so now this is reconstruction from a video we're going to see if it's capable of basically building the actual
03:023d character from a video clip can you do that or will it be as bad as the first time
03:11and second time around
03:13as of the first time we got nothing the second time we got a little bit of something yeah which
03:20was a little bit horrendous and and now yeah we're going to see what we get
03:26as they say reconstructing views so it's building the character from the point of view that it's looking at I
03:34think ok
03:35I don't know what view it's looking at I really don't so we'll be able to see in a moment
03:42hopefully and hopefully it's looking at what's that so you took 50 photographs and they're no good
03:53really really come on so there's 50 photographs right and only seven of them are worth taking a shot
04:04well
04:09yeah ok and let's let's see what we get with seven photographs ok we got a point line yeah we
04:19got a totally messed up point line
04:22look at the state of that yeah I know there's only seven photographs there
04:29but what human character on the planet looks like that none there isn't no human on the planet that looks
04:38like that
04:40look at the state of it ok I have to build this it's going to give me some kind of
04:45rock looking thing ok so it's on the video
04:49and we took 50 photographs you only want seven photographs ok great if that's what you want that's what you
04:56want
04:56go next and go next and run the process let's see how long it takes to build the seven photographs
05:05seven photographs
05:08I can't even build the model with how many was it 37 photographs
05:14so I had photos and photographs I still couldn't build them on
05:18this one reckons it can build it with seven photographs
05:20yeah I don't know how it's going to do that
05:25unless you've got a really really good algorithm
05:29it must be really good
05:32if not we're going to end up with a rock
05:36let's see what we get
05:39I was really hoping that this software worked
05:41because it's pretty easy to use
05:44I was saying it's almost as easy as an AOI
05:47but erm
05:48yeah
05:49I'm sticking with an AOI at the moment
05:51I'm going to stay with Meshi
05:52it's fun and can't really do it
05:57the stereo process was complete
06:00here we go
06:01we've got a stereo process again
06:03wow
06:05yes
06:06I won a nice collection of rocks
06:08look at that
06:12where's Emma
06:14well Emma
06:15must have got squashed
06:17on the mountain
06:19because
06:19yeah
06:20that does not even look like Emma
06:23I'm going to stay to that
06:27erm
06:27yeah
06:28I think the need to basically take this software off the internet
06:33erm
06:34it's a great bit of software
06:35don't get me wrong
06:36it looks nice
06:38it works nice
06:40erm
06:40but the 3D model part of it
06:42erm
06:43yeah
06:43absolutely horrendous
06:45look at that
06:47if I give my kids that model
06:49yeah
06:49they would laugh at me
06:50they really would
06:51look at it
06:53she's not even a model
06:55she's just a texture
06:56stuck on a rock
07:00yeah
07:01that's going to be the worst algorithm
07:03I've ever seen
07:04in modern time
07:05it really has
07:06that's it
07:07I've never seen anything
07:09produce anything
07:10as bad as that
07:12I really haven't
07:13erm
07:15ok let's click on it
07:17just in case
07:17let's supposing
07:18you get a model
07:19and it actually works
07:20and you have to go here
07:22this one generates the model
07:23ok
07:247 photographs
07:26if it actually looks properly
07:27it'll work
07:28go here
07:28next
07:29and go next
07:30run it
07:31let it process the model
07:33it will give you a rock
07:36great
07:36erm
07:37perfect
07:37I've always wanted a rock
07:40perfect
07:40yeah
07:41you can get a rock over in Blender
07:44as I said
07:45look at the shape of it
07:46there's only 7 photographs
07:47even with the 7 photographs
07:50erm
07:51yes
07:51the 7 photographs
07:52don't need to look like Emma
07:54they just don't
07:56it looks like it built the background
07:58and forgot about Emma
07:59I'm thinking
08:00come on
08:02that's actually terrible
08:03it really is
08:03I said
08:04once you do this one
08:06then you have to do this one
08:07then this one
08:09ok
08:09so as I said
08:10then you process the actual process first
08:14so we built it
08:15it doesn't take on to build it
08:16I shouldn't be really thinking
08:17erm
08:19as I said
08:20in a couple of seconds
08:21finalising
08:21yeah
08:22I bet you're so proud of that
08:24you really are
08:25erm
08:25you see here
08:26you have to do this one
08:29so this is mesh 2 right
08:31just press yeah
08:32and just go ok
08:33and just export it
08:35when you do
08:36when you do the second time
08:37when you do this one
08:38it gives you this option
08:39watch
08:41maybe I'm going there wrong
08:43but that's how I get my model out of here
08:46as I said
08:46if you see I'm building nothing again
08:48it's build it
08:49build it the second time
08:51as I said
08:52maybe I'm
08:53exporting wrong
08:54it doesn't matter how I export it
08:56at the moment
08:57see here look
08:58now I can take this
08:59and I can export it back out
09:01so I export it back out
09:03and say where do I put it
09:05yeah
09:05in the garbage
09:06erm
09:07just save it there
09:08say yep
09:09overwriting
09:10ok
09:10we're going to stick it over there
09:13and what we're going to do
09:14we're going to fire up Blender
09:16yeah
09:16erm
09:17I don't think I'll be using this software
09:21honestly
09:21because
09:22as I said
09:22erm
09:23I like software that works
09:24and even though the software is great
09:26and they give you some nice tools
09:28to play around with
09:29erm
09:30and
09:30well
09:31yeah
09:32it doesn't actually do
09:34erm
09:35yeah
09:35what it's supposed to
09:36go here
09:36import
09:38import
09:38the OBJ
09:39through the tablets
09:40bring it in
09:42you say
09:43look at that
09:43big beautiful masterpiece
09:46yes
09:48yeah
09:49and there's Emma
09:49Emma squashed on the rock
09:52yeah
09:53all it's done
09:54was took a paintbrush
09:55and painted Emma
09:57on the rock
09:58I think
09:59wow
10:00how
10:01how is even that
10:02how is that
10:03some of the photographs
10:04of Emma
10:05how
10:06it's really not
10:07look at it
10:09it's a rock
10:11it's some
10:12kind of rock
10:14yeah
10:14look at it
10:16I said
10:17there's
10:17there's not one single part
10:19of that
10:20that looks like the human body
10:22nothing
10:25I said
10:26erm
10:27it's horrendous
10:29let's take the texture off it
10:33let's turn it into a rock
10:37ok
10:37now
10:38if we take it and put it in the game world
10:40yeah
10:41I could use that as a rock
10:45so
10:46the entire process
10:48wasn't for nothing
10:48of course
10:49have you got any use for that in the game world
10:52yeah
10:53probably
10:53probably not
10:54well
10:55but it is
10:55it will make it of an asset
10:57for the game world
10:58so if you want it
10:59you can have it
11:01really
11:02who wants that
11:03I'm only joking
11:04I'm not even going to make that available
11:06I'm really not
11:06erm
11:07I said
11:08it's horrendous
11:09look at it
11:11it's definitely going to be a unique rock
11:13it is
11:14it really is
11:15I guarantee
11:16nowhere else on internet
11:17you will find that
11:19I would say
11:19you wouldn't want to find it
11:20you really wouldn't
11:21anyway
11:22yeah
11:23back to the software
11:24I would say
11:25look at that
11:26if you want to clear that
11:27just go here
11:27and go clear it
11:29because you wouldn't actually keep that
11:31it's horrendous
11:32so here's the software
11:36yeah
11:36the website makes it sound great
11:39yeah
11:40and
11:40I'm showing you in full videos
11:42yeah
11:43it's
11:45it's horrendous
11:46it really is
11:47there's nothing else to say about it
11:49erm
11:49only horrendous
11:51erm
11:51as I said
11:52unless you use proper digital photos
11:54yeah
11:55it might be a masterpiece
11:56it might be
11:57well then
11:58it won't be the software
11:59that's actually making it
12:00because
12:01as I said
12:02all of the settings
12:03if you use digital photos
12:05they're already built
12:06into the photograph
12:07all the software's got to do
12:09is reassembly
12:12reconstructing
12:12that's all it's got to do
12:13as I said
12:15erm
12:15this one's supposed to be able to do it
12:16from a photograph
12:19erm
12:20yeah
12:20as you can see
12:21photographs
12:22and we don't have one photograph
12:25we have 50 photographs
12:29but
12:29and you can't do it
12:31yeah
12:32that's bad
12:33it's terrible
12:35it really is
12:35so yeah
12:36the software company
12:37erm
12:37yeah
12:38unfortunately for me
12:39erm
12:40yeah
12:40I don't think the software's for me
12:42I don't think it is
12:44as I said
12:44I'll play around with it for a few more weeks
12:46and see
12:46and see if I can get it to do something else
12:48but erm
12:49yeah
12:50as I said
12:50I was expecting just to put the photos in
12:52go and generate the mesh
12:54generate a point cloud
12:55and get something that looked like a character
12:58yeah
12:59not in this case
13:00stay safe and friendly
13:01anyway
13:02this is the final video for this
13:03erm
13:04as in
13:05if you see any more in the future
13:06erm
13:07yeah
13:08maybe I'll get it to work
13:09but I don't know
13:11I'm not going to hold my breath
13:12so for now
13:13if you've got a photograph
13:17of your character
13:19like this
13:21right
13:22this is what I recommend
13:23I
13:24get off the screen
13:25I recommend
13:26that you take it over to
13:28what's it called?
13:29MESHY
13:30MESHY will give you an actual mesh
13:32that looks almost completely
13:34exactly the same as well
13:36the only thing you're going to have to do
13:38with MESHY
13:40unless you upload all of the images
13:42the left
13:43the right
13:43the back
13:43the front
13:44the sides
13:44erm
13:45you're going to have to fix the hands
13:48and you'll have to fix the feet
13:50because MESHY doesn't do those
13:53erm
13:53as I said
13:55my characters are made in a software called MakeHuman
13:57that's why
13:58when I show you my characters
13:59they're all fully made
14:00they're
14:00they really are
14:02and they've got all of the ages
14:04just in case you're interested
14:06yeah
14:07not for any particular reason
14:09it's just that in my game world
14:10my characters age
14:11anyway
14:12stay safe
14:13I hope you subscribe
14:14I hope you like the content
14:15I hope you like the honesty
14:16and to the software company
14:18yeah
14:19I thought this software was going to be different
14:22yeah
14:23I will let you know in a few more weeks
14:25how it goes
14:27and if it's terrible
14:28it's going into the trash
14:31stay safe
14:32see you soon
14:32bye
