[0:00] Today we are going to be working on
[0:03] advanced body angles. So we have done
[0:07] the beginner tutorial for body angles in
[0:10] which we covered the simplified forms
[0:13] and in this one we are going to be
[0:16] covering all of the forms all of the
[0:18] advanced stuff. So these are the body
[0:22] forms that we are going to be covering
[0:25] today. Uh, we have torso X, torso Y,
[0:29] torso Z, hips X, hips Z, position X,
[0:34] position Y, and position Z. It's a lot
[0:37] of forms, but we are going to try to get
[0:40] through this relatively quickly. So, the
[0:43] first thing you will need
[0:46] is all of these parameters.
[0:50] So what we're looking at is uh the input
[0:53] parameters which is body X, body Y, body
[0:56] Z, position X, position Y, and position
[1:00] Z. And as for the output parameters that
[1:04] we want is torso X, torso Y, torso Z,
[1:07] hips X, hip Z, lean X, lean Y, and lean
[1:11] Z. Torso and hips are minus30 to 30,
[1:15] while the leans are -10 to 10.
[1:19] Okay, first we want to start with the
[1:22] torso, which is relatively easy to do.
[1:26] Uh, so I already made a
[1:31] deformer torso angle. So in it is just
[1:36] the standard torso without anything
[1:39] else. So what we're going to do is we're
[1:42] going to bind this to torso X. And on
[1:45] the input, you do not want to bind
[1:47] anything on the input because we're
[1:48] going to be using that as physics input.
[1:51] All of the angles we're going to do is
[1:53] going to be bound to physics. Okay. So,
[1:56] we are going to do the same trick as we
[1:59] did in the uh basics tutorial. So, I'm
[2:04] going to speed through this. And for the
[2:06] mapping,
[2:08] uh we want torso X.
[2:11] And uh for the Y direction, I'm going to
[2:15] go lean Z. And this is going to make
[2:18] sense. So we want to add the torso angle
[2:21] to the
[2:22] object. And I am going to change this
[2:26] to yes
[2:29] 10° by 10°. We are going to update the
[2:33] key forms. So what that
[2:36] does is it gives us a plane of rotation
[2:41] and this is going to be a base to start
[2:43] working
[2:45] from. Now this is a little bit strong.
[2:49] So we are going to change that to maybe
[2:51] five. Going to update that. Yeah, that's
[2:55] better. Okay. And this is going to be
[2:59] the lean forward and lean backwards. So,
[3:02] we've got a good base to work from now.
[3:04] And we are going to ignore the lean Z
[3:07] and just focus on the torso X right
[3:09] now. So, what we're going to do is we're
[3:12] going to select uh the layers that are
[3:17] sticking out from the body, which would
[3:20] be the bust in this case. Right.
[3:24] So, let's get that. I'm going to I'm
[3:27] going to try to speed through it.
[3:33] [Music]
[3:41] [Music]
[4:03] Okay. Reflect motion. See how that
[4:09] looks. And as you can probably see, I
[4:12] have glued
[4:14] down the shoulders. We're going to be
[4:16] fixing
[4:17] that. Okay.
[4:20] So arm
[4:25] left, not arm right. And the reason for
[4:28] that is that it's her
[4:30] left. So this is arm right because it's
[4:33] her right. So we're going to fix the
[4:36] arms. So when she moves this way, we
[4:40] want
[4:41] to move it
[4:44] up. Now I need to fix the glue on that.
[4:46] Um but just bear with me. And then when
[4:50] she moves this way, we're going to
[4:52] rotate in a little bit
[4:54] and down.
[4:57] And that's how the arm kind of moves
[5:00] with the rotation there. And we got to
[5:03] do something about that glue because
[5:05] it's a little bit
[5:09] harsh. And it's only connected here. Um
[5:13] I'm not connecting that all the
[5:18] way. And this is essentially
[5:22] uh torso X. And what we want to
[5:26] do now is um and this this step is
[5:30] actually important. Uh I've I've been
[5:32] messing around, but this step is
[5:34] actually
[5:38] important. We're going to select the
[5:40] bottom of the model. Um control shift C,
[5:45] control shift V.
[5:51] And that way, anything below the hips
[5:54] does not move. We do not want movement
[5:57] below the hips because we're just
[5:59] working on
[6:01] torso. Okay. Now, torso Y is going to be
[6:06] incredibly simple. So, we're going to
[6:08] make a new deformer for this. And we're
[6:12] going to put this on torso Y.
[6:16] And when she looks
[6:19] up, so I actually want the arms in
[6:24] there. Okay. So when she looks up, we
[6:30] want the
[6:31] shoulders to
[6:33] drop and the chest to
[6:36] rise. And this is just torso Y. We're
[6:39] going to go with the big Y movements on
[6:42] position Y.
[6:44] This is just the torso. Then when she
[6:47] looks down, we raise the
[6:50] shoulders and we drop the chest. Going
[6:53] to make sure the the ribbon stays kind
[6:56] of in the same place. Uh we do not want
[6:59] too much ribbon movement here. And this
[7:02] is looking up and down. This is what her
[7:04] chest is doing. Her chest and
[7:08] shoulders. And if you do this in real
[7:11] life, um, or you have someone else do it
[7:14] while you observe, you will see that
[7:16] this is pretty accurate. It's an
[7:18] exaggerated version of it, but this is
[7:20] pretty accurate to what your body does
[7:22] when you look up and down. So that's why
[7:26] we're on torso Y here. Okay. Now,
[7:29] speeding through torso Z. So, what we're
[7:32] going to be doing for torso Z is she's
[7:36] going to lean left and right. It's that
[7:39] simple. So, we are
[7:42] taking
[7:44] everything above the
[7:47] skirt and we're going to say this is
[7:54] uh torso Z. Now that we have our
[7:58] deformer, we're going to bind it to
[8:01] torso Z. And then what I like to do
[8:04] personally
[8:06] is I like to
[8:09] select the top of that with the brush
[8:13] tool. Uh shortcut is B by the way. And
[8:17] then we
[8:21] rotate. Make sure that's positioned
[8:24] properly. And this is the easiest way to
[8:27] do
[8:28] this. I don't know if I can reflect
[8:30] motion on this. I can get
[8:35] crates. Okay. And now what I want to do
[8:40] is I want to select the bottom cuz I saw
[8:43] it deform a little bit too far down. So
[8:47] we're going to
[8:49] copy and paste. Uh control shift C and
[8:55] control shift
[8:59] V. Okay. Now I'm going to take the arms
[9:02] and just kind of adjust those a little
[9:11] bit. And that is looking
[9:14] good. Now before we get into
[9:17] hips, I'm going to save this. Uh very
[9:20] important, save every 5
[9:23] minutes. And then we're going to go into
[9:25] physics settings.
[9:28] And she already has all of the head
[9:30] movement, but none of the body movement.
[9:33] So, we're gonna say torso
[9:38] X. And I have a preset for this kind of
[9:42] kind of it's kind of a preset. Uh, body
[9:45] physics, but I want reaction
[9:48] speed to be uh
[9:50] 0.4. Convergence
[9:55] uh I'm going to say 1.5. Okay.
[9:58] So we want to add body X and this is
[10:03] going to be
[10:04] angle 100% effective and I want to make
[10:09] this
[10:10] minus60 to
[10:12] 60. Okay. Then for the output settings
[10:16] we want to add torso X.
[10:20] So, we're going to swing this around,
[10:22] get the maximum output, and then
[10:24] increase
[10:25] it and then lower
[10:28] it because that's how we
[10:31] do. And as you can see, has a little bit
[10:35] of
[10:35] a delayed bounce back on it. Now we got
[10:40] the torso X
[10:47] in. And we're going to duplicate that.
[10:50] And we're going to say torso Y. Input
[10:53] settings is going to be body Y. Output
[10:55] settings is going to be torso Y.
[11:02] And you can see it's
[11:04] um moving the chest and shoulders on the
[11:07] Y position and not doing much else at
[11:09] the moment. But that's okay because we
[11:12] have a lot more parameters to go. So
[11:15] we're going to say torso Z. Um and then
[11:18] this is going to be body
[11:21] Z and that's going to be torso
[11:27] Z. And now you can leave it like this.
[11:31] But what I like to do is I like to
[11:32] reflect
[11:35] it. So this is what this is doing. And
[11:38] now we
[11:40] have the torso
[11:44] movements. Okay. Now what we're going to
[11:48] be moving on to is
[11:50] hips. What we're going to be doing for
[11:54] the hips is I kind of want the torso in
[11:57] it. So, you know
[12:00] what? We're getting the entire
[12:04] body. I can't do that, can I? I can't
[12:09] can't do this. Let me um figure out what
[12:13] I'm doing
[12:15] here. This skirt is throwing me for a
[12:18] loop. It's a very pretty skirt, but it
[12:20] is throwing me for a loop here. So, what
[12:23] I don't want in this is the arms. If I
[12:27] throw this in torso Z, how does that
[12:37] look? Not great. Not great, but we can
[12:40] fix it. We can fix her. This is fine.
[12:44] This is
[12:46] fine. You know what? This is fine. Okay,
[12:50] we're going to keep the skirt here
[12:52] because I want to select the torso with
[12:56] this as well. So, we're going to say
[12:58] this is
[13:01] hips. Great. So, now what we're going to
[13:05] do for the hips
[13:08] X is we want to rotate. We are rotating
[13:18] hips. Okay, cool. So, um I like that
[13:22] rotation. So, what we're going to do
[13:24] now, bear with me. So, we're going to
[13:27] throw this over here. Why are the arms
[13:29] in there? Hold hold
[13:31] [Music]
[13:33] hold. Why are the arms in there? We
[13:35] don't want the arms in there. Let's try
[13:37] this.
[13:40] That certainly is
[13:43] better. Okay, so we want the hips to
[13:47] swing
[13:48] out. Rotate and swing. Maybe I'll swing
[13:52] to the other side, actually. So, what if
[13:54] I swing this to the other side, but
[13:57] still have it rotated to this
[14:00] side? I actually kind of like that. I
[14:02] have to fix the top, obviously, but
[14:05] okay. You know what? Kind of like that.
[14:09] Kind of like that. I definitely know
[14:12] what I'm doing, by the way. All right.
[14:15] And then we're gonna reflect motion on
[14:17] that. So, now we're going to grab the
[14:21] legs. And we want to grab one leg at a
[14:25] time. We want to bind those to the
[14:30] hips. And that goes out as we swing this
[14:34] way. And when we swing the other
[14:38] way, we go
[14:42] in. I don't think we need to go down,
[14:46] though.
[14:50] So, we swing out and
[14:53] in. We want to make sure that is
[14:58] smooth all the way. The toes do not
[15:01] move.
[15:02] toe movement. Not good. Now, we take the
[15:06] other leg. And for the other leg, we
[15:07] want to uh give it a little bit more of
[15:10] a subtle movement. So, we're going
[15:18] to bend this
[15:21] in. And when we go to the
[15:25] sides, we bend it
[15:28] out. There we go.
[15:31] And this is how the hips swing on the
[15:35] X. Now we want the hips swing on the
[15:39] Z. And this is going to be a little bit
[15:41] more
[15:42] dramatic. I do like dramatic hip
[15:46] swings. So what we're going to
[15:53] do is this.
[15:56] We're swinging
[16:01] up.
[16:04] However, we want to make sure
[16:07] that the top does not move. So,
[16:12] um, control shift C, control shift V.
[16:17] And then we reflect motion on that.
[16:23] And then we uh controll 4 which is
[16:28] synthesize corners. We're going to do
[16:31] that. Now we want the legs as
[16:35] well. So when the hips swing this way
[16:39] because the hip is raised to one side,
[16:42] she's probably going to go on her tippy
[16:44] toes on that side to get the leg up.
[16:46] Right? So that's what we're going to do.
[16:52] [Music]
[16:54] And now when she goes down, because the
[16:56] hip is all the way down, she would
[16:58] probably bend the knee a little bit
[17:03] [Music]
[17:04] here. And now we do the same on this
[17:08] leg. Okay. So we want to select both
[17:10] legs and then again Ctrl 4 to synthesize
[17:14] corners. So, now that we have the
[17:16] corners, as you can see, the hips are
[17:20] doing their thing without the upper body
[17:23] moving at all. So, we're going to save
[17:26] again. And before we go into the
[17:30] lean, we're going to go into physics
[17:32] settings and we are going to add hips X.
[17:38] I don't think I have a hip swing here,
[17:40] do I? I do not. I do not have a hip
[17:44] swing. I'm going to have to do that uh
[17:47] manually unless it's body custom.
[17:50] It that might be it. Hold
[17:56] up. It's not going to be that though.
[17:59] Okay. So, what we're going to do is
[18:02] we're going to add input. We're going to
[18:04] say this is body
[18:09] X 100.
[18:14] I don't know if I want to put this on
[18:16] angle. I think I'm going to put this on
[18:18] angle. Okay. So, we're going to do this
[18:21] - 60 to 60. And then we're going to be
[18:25] adding oop uh hips
[18:31] x. You can see it moving a little bit,
[18:34] but we want to uh really get the output
[18:38] going.
[18:45] What if I reflect
[18:49] this? Okay, you know what? I think the
[18:52] reflected version is actually better.
[18:55] Okay. So now we're going to say uh
[18:59] duplicate hips Z and we are going to say
[19:04] uh body Z and the
[19:08] outputs hips C. There we go. Now these
[19:12] are some basic
[19:17] angles. And now we are going to move on
[19:20] to
[19:23] position. And position is fun. Position
[19:26] is fun to work on. For
[19:30] this we want to take the entire
[19:34] body and we are going to
[19:38] say position and this is going to be the
[19:42] left and right lean if that makes sense.
[19:45] We we are leaning left and right.
[19:48] with our entire body, not just our
[19:51] torso. So, what we're going to do is
[19:54] we're going to bind that and then do
[19:57] this little trick in modeling
[20:00] uh temporary deformer and then
[20:04] distort and we're going to drag her
[20:07] over and then reflect motion on that.
[20:11] Now, you could leave it here if you so
[20:14] desire. Personally, I want to anchor the
[20:16] feet cuz I do not like floating feets.
[20:19] Okay, you could leave it here. However,
[20:22] you could also make this into a step. I
[20:26] have a step toggle tutorial somewhere on
[20:30] my channel. Um, and if this makes it
[20:33] into a tutorial video, I will probably
[20:36] link that right here. I am not going to
[20:40] put a step
[20:42] in. That is not something that I'm going
[20:45] to do right now, but you know, if you if
[20:48] you want this step, it would have to be
[20:50] on lean X for it to look good. Now, a
[20:53] lean Y is basically just her body going
[20:58] up and down. That's it. That's what lean
[21:01] Y does. Lean Y is the bounce. So, we are
[21:05] going to grab uh the torso Z and we're
[21:09] going to put that on uh lean Y.
[21:14] And now we drag her
[21:18] up. And then on the minus 10 we drag her
[21:24] down. And that's what that does. And now
[21:27] we want to have the
[21:29] legs. We want to
[21:32] make new deformers for
[21:35] that.
[21:37] Uh lean
[21:40] leg left.
[21:42] We're going to make one for this one as
[21:44] well, which is going to be lean leg
[21:50] [Music]
[21:56] [Music]
[22:00] right. And that is how lean Y works.
[22:04] Very simple, very bouncy. Now the last
[22:08] one, lean Z. And this is uh the famous
[22:13] lean in and out. Now, I like to keep it
[22:16] subtle personally. I know a lot of
[22:18] people like to go for like the crazy
[22:20] leans, but we're keeping it subtle.
[22:22] We're keeping it classy. I think if you
[22:25] want a crazy lean, you got to make it a
[22:27] toggle. Um for the subtle leans, you can
[22:30] make it in tracking. Okay. So, we
[22:33] already have the torso leaning in and
[22:36] out.
[22:38] However, me select
[22:41] that. We want to adjust this a little
[22:43] bit because when we lean out, it goes
[22:46] too far down. So, we want
[22:52] to push that
[22:55] up. And
[22:57] then we push this down.
[23:02] [Music]
[23:08] And this is the lean forwards. And
[23:10] that's the lean backwards. And you can
[23:13] already kind of see that take shape.
[23:15] What we don't want is for the bottom to
[23:18] move. Hips
[23:21] uh need to stay where they
[23:25] are. So, we're going to anchor that.
[23:28] I need to
[23:31] uh get the head
[23:38] involved. So let's say head lean uh 21x
[23:45] [Music]
[23:49] 21. Okay. So
[23:51] below the rotation deformer on the head,
[23:55] we want to make another deformer and
[23:58] call it head
[24:02] size. And this is very straightforward
[24:05] on what it does. When
[24:08] we lean in, we want the head to be
[24:12] bigger.
[24:15] And if your character has long hair, you
[24:17] are going to need to adjust the hair,
[24:19] just so you
[24:21] know. And when she leans back, the head
[24:26] will be smaller. That might be a little
[24:28] bit of an exaggeration. Nope, it's
[24:30] actually
[24:30] good. Now, we want uh the arms.
[24:43] and we drag those
[24:45] down. However, we're going to um
[24:48] temporary deformer and then we're going
[24:51] to go
[24:53] perspective. We're going to increase the
[24:56] width of
[25:04] that when she leans
[25:07] in. And then when she leans
[25:11] back, going to do
[25:17] perspective. We're going to make the
[25:20] shoulders a little bit smaller.
[25:25] Okay. And this is the lean.
[25:28] [Music]
[25:44] Now, let's see how this looks in
[25:46] physics. If you're not sure about a
[25:48] movement, the best thing to do is just
[25:50] put it in those physics, see how it
[25:52] moves, and then decide if you need to
[25:55] change something. Okay, let's start
[25:58] putting in the leans. So, let's start
[26:01] with lean X and put this on
[26:05] angle. I don't think
[26:08] uh I have the cursor tracking active for
[26:12] that. I do
[26:17] not. Okay. So, we want to take input
[26:21] position X. And this is one that you
[26:23] have to add manually. Uh we covered that
[26:25] in the beginning.
[26:28] So, we want to add a position X on angle
[26:32] at
[26:34] 100%. And I want to do this minus 30 to
[26:39] 30 on the angle. And for output
[26:41] settings we
[26:44] are too far down. Lean
[26:51] X. We want to swing this around, get the
[26:54] maximum output, and then
[26:58] increase. Let's say
[27:03] 15. And this is how that
[27:06] looks. We won't see this very often
[27:09] because it takes a lot for the tracking
[27:13] to register one way or the other. That
[27:16] is the lean X. And I'm actually going to
[27:21] take that off of the cursor
[27:25] tracking because you rarely ever see
[27:27] that when you're actually tracking.
[27:30] Okay. But we duplicate that and we say
[27:33] lean
[27:35] Y and we change this to position Y. And
[27:38] the output we change
[27:41] to lean
[27:44] Y. And there's the
[27:47] bounce. And we duplicate that. And we
[27:51] say lean
[27:54] Z. And we say this is position
[28:00] Z and lean
[28:07] Z. And as you can see we are uh doing a
[28:11] subtle lean here.
[28:17] And this is the full range of motion
[28:23] here. I I spot a
[28:27] mistake here. Right here. Here's the
[28:31] mistake.
[28:32] Okay. Interesting.
[28:35] Interesting. It's probably the torso Z.
[28:38] It's probably the torso
[28:41] Z. Try that. Try to synthesize those
[28:45] corners. Yes, it
[28:48] was. Takes a little bit of experience to
[28:51] know exactly where you messed
[28:53] up, but I I spotted that. And this is
[28:58] the full range of motion.
