All language subtitles for 08 Breaking Negative Space.ENGlish

So now we're at a point where we have a really clean, visually appealing mesh.

And this is why it is so important to kind of understand these different

elements we've discussed. Detail clustering, echoing shapes, using negative

space, all these types of things are what is going to allow you to create a good

design, a good form, a good shape here in Blender. A lot of beginners, and I see it

all the time, and I did it as well, trust me, I'm not off the hook here. I just

did this when I first started, is I would just add detail all over the freaking

place. And when you do that, you completely destroy the power of the

elements you added before. See how, like, everything we added, now it just looks

awful. That is why you really want to use that negative space. You can just see the

difference. It's night and day. So now that we're on the topic of negative

space, the question is, should I always keep the negative space completely empty?

And the answer is no. You can definitely add small, minor details in the areas of

negative space, but you don't want it to be overwhelming. You don't want it to

pull attention away from the detail clusters that you have on your mesh. So

for example, I'll show you how I could introduce some additional elements here.

Maybe I could come in and add in a cut across, kind of like this, and you know,

just kind of expand that a bit more. That looks kind of cool, but I kind of like

where it was before. But what I could do is, you know, scale this down and just

make some very, very small details, kind of on the ends here. And you can see, we

clearly have detail on it in the negative space, but it's not really

pulling attention away from the important stuff here in the center. So

you can definitely add in little details like that. And in fact, I would recommend

it, just to kind of, not necessarily break up the negative space, but to

introduce like a little something, you know, like a little bit of seasoning on

the top, like for food. You see what I mean? It's just very subtle, but it's not

pulling attention away from the main form. So you can do stuff like that. It is

totally okay, and in fact, I would recommend it. So let's keep trying to

introduce a little bit more here, while still maintaining that empty space.

Getting pretty close to the end of the shape. Obviously, you could detail this

for days and weeks, and then you just have some insanely complex looking model.

And if that's what you want to do, I mean, by all means, do it. But for me, not

really. I kind of like this. It's very subtle, just expanding that all the way

through, and it kind of elevates those more linear elements. So that's before,

that's after. I think this is a bit more powerful. I like that. Yeah, it looks cool.

So there are many different ways to kind of break the empty space, but you want to

make sure you do it carefully. Maybe what I could do over here, is kind of

encroach into the empty space by adding a little notch, kind of like this. We can

add in a bevel, and just do like a very small something, kind of like that. And

you can see it's kind of in the empty space, but it's not really pulling too

much attention, compared to if I did something like this. You see what I mean?

That's just a bit excessive. So you can do very small stuff. You can kind of move

these in, see what place it might fit better. I think more towards the end here,

kind of like 30% of the way in, could be a good option in this case. So this

is a great way to kind of break into the empty space, without pulling too much

attention away from the main detail. So that's a pretty good way to kind of

enhance the design even more.
