I recently discovered this amazing software for 3D design and animation called Wump
It caught my attention not only because it is free and easy to use, but also because you don't need
to download anything to your computer. You can create directly from your browser
Look at this cute emoji I was able to create on my first try after watching a tutorial
And take a look at what other creators have been able to create with this platform
To access Wump, type wump.com on your browser and once you are on their homepage click
open Wump Alpha. From here simply select sign up for free and follow the steps to create a
new account. I already have an account and this is how it looks like when you are logged in
Now I'm going to show you some useful resources inside Wump and then I'm going to show you the
step by step on how to create this 3D emoji in the editor. As you can see on the left panel we have
a menu and we are located on the discover page. In here you can see a bunch of different designs
from other creators. You can filter them by hottest, newest or staff picks. And I would say
that this page is really helpful in case that you want to find some inspiration if you don't have
any particular project that you want to work on. What I like about this page is that you can like
the designs that you see in here. So for example I like this one I'm gonna heart it. You can also
leave a comment and some of these designs you can remix them. So basically you will have a copy of
this design if you click this button and basically you can use it as a template if you wish. You can
change the colors, you can change the textures or you can add your own elements to this design
Coming back to the home page and to the left panel we are going to open my projects which is
below discover. From here you can open any project that you have worked in the past. Then below my
projects we have events. So what I understand is that WAMP they create different contests and if
you want you can join these contests. This page is interesting if you want to find more inspiration
or also if you don't know what to create you can follow one of these contests and see what others
are creating. Coming back to the left panel we have under events my account and from here you
can edit your profile, email settings and your account settings. Then below my account you have
what's new, you have everything that WAMP has been releasing or solving. Below we have the learn
section which is pretty pretty useful. I do recommend that you come here and watch the
tutorials that they have. You can create any of these characters that they have on the thumbnails
and then you have some other tutorials in here. You then have people in case that you have
followed any creator you will see them in here. Then you have the leaderboard. I honestly don't
know how you can get points and how you can rank higher on this list but I find this leaderboard
interesting because you can click on the different names or the different accounts that you find on
this list and discover different profiles that you may be interested in following. And finally we
have chats. Basically you have different conversations filtered by different topics. I actually found
one that is called 3D printing and it's quite interesting because you can create 3D models
inside WAMP and then 3D print them. So as you can see here Aura created this 3D model. I suppose
Aura created this model in WAMP and then she was able to print it and have a physical product
As you can see in here it is something real, something substantial
Now let's create a 3D design. For this we are going to click on the new project button that we
see on the left. WAMP is going to open the editor and by default we will have these shapes that we
can use to start understanding the platform in case that you are new and you don't know how to
use it yet. Now let's talk about the editor basics. You can drag your mouse to move around the scene
or to have a different view of your elements in the editor. You can also use the wheel on your
mouse or your mouse pad to get closer or to move further away from your object. Now as we are
working in a 3D editor we have three different arrows to move the elements in this three-dimensional
space. So every time you click or select one object you will see these three different arrows
When I drag this green arrow it's going to take the element to one side. If I take this red arrow
it's gonna bring it to another side and this purple or blue arrow you can move the element
up and down. If you want to increase or decrease the size of your element you simply take one of
the corners and reduce or increase the size. If you want to rotate your element select your element
and select this rotate icon and like this you can rotate your element. You can view and select
your elements from the editor or this page I would say the canvas but you can also view it
on the left panel. So in this case I have selected the sphere so that's why it appears selected in
here but if I wanted to select the cube I can also do it from here and if I want to deselect
the sphere I simply click again in here and I only have my cube selected. You can also see a
menu for each of these elements by clicking on this icon or these dots. So you can either lock
hide, copy, paste, duplicate, rename, positive or negative, replace with another shape, delete
send to top, up, down, bottom, break union, so this is kind of like grouping some elements
or move out. So you have plenty of different settings in here to play around with
Now let's discover some editing tools while we create this 3d emoji. The first step we need to
follow is to delete these elements that we have on the editor because we don't need them and an
easy way to do it is by selecting this union because we have a union of elements in here
Click on the six dots and then select delete. Now we need to create the shape that is going to be
the head of our emoji and to do so we can click on the objects icon on top of the screen and then
select either a sphere or a cylinder. I'm going to select a cylinder because this is going to
help me shape the head of my emoji much better and in order for us to have a round shape on this
cylinder we are going to use the menu that we see on the right hand side and to do this we are going
to move the roundness slider to the right. You can leave it to 100 or maybe 90. I'm going to play
around a little bit with the shape in here and also the size. I'm going to make this face very
big so we can see clearly how this emoji is looking. Now I'm going to change the color of
this sphere because I want the face of my emoji to be yellow. On the right hand side we see a section
called appearance and when we click here we can change the color of our shape. We can either enter
an RGB or hex code or we can open the color picker and choose a color from here. Now for the eyes we
are going to add a sphere so again going back to objects and sphere. Remember that we have these
three arrows and the red one, the red arrow, is not visible because this arrow is pointing directly
to us so we see simply a dot but we can drag it towards us to be able to see it. I'm going to change
the color of this sphere to black and I'm going to reduce the roughness. As you can see my sphere
is looking shiny and that's what I want for my eyes. I think this is looking good. Let me leave
it a little bit less shiny, bring this sphere up, make it smaller
Now that I think I'm happy with the size of my eye I need to drag the space to see where my eye
is located. As you remember we are in a 3d editor so as you can see my eye is really far away from
the head of my emoji so I'm going to play around with the arrows of the eye to bring it closer to
the face or the head of the emoji and then I'm going to continue moving the space so I can see
exactly where the eyeball is located. Okay now my eye is inside the head and I can be more precise
with the size of the eye. Remember to double check the position of your eye and then once you are
happy with the position and the size you can open the sphere menu and then select duplicate
Once you have a sphere number two you can drag this arrow to the right or to the left and now
we have two eyes. If you want you can also select two elements and increase the size at the same
time so both eyes have exactly the same size. Now I'm going to duplicate one of these spheres
again and I'm going to bring it down and to the left so I can create a little mouth and lastly
we are going to create little cheeks to our emoji face. We can take one of these spheres
can be sphere one, duplicate it, I'm going to bring it down and now I'm going to change the material
and the colors so by having the sphere four selected let me move it a little bit down
and to the left. Now let's open the material menu on top of the screen and in here you will see
different materials like metallic, plastic, rubber, skin, jelly and glass. You can play around with
these different materials by clicking on any of these options and see how it looks like on your
design or your emoji. I'm going for a skin material and I'm going for skin number 12. If you want to
change the color you can go back to appearance and select the color in here. In my case I want to
make it a little bit more saturated and then I'm going to play around with the position of this
element. Now that I'm happy with this shape I'm going to duplicate it and then bring this cheek
or this duplicated cheek to the right and I'm trying to make it the same size as this one
I'm going to adjust the size of my eyes a little bit more
and now I think I'm happy with how my emoji is looking. I'm gonna select all of these elements
and then I'm going to create an union. This is basically like grouping all the elements and then
This is basically like grouping all the elements and then if I want to move my emoji in this space
I can simply drag one arrow and as you can see the whole emoji is moving at the same time
I think our emoji is ready to be downloaded and the first thing that we need to have into
consideration is how the emoji is looking at the moment. So if I were to download it as it is it's
going to be downloaded exactly as you are looking at it. If you want your emoji to be pointing to
one side you need to drag the space and point your emoji to the direction that you want to
download it. I think I want my emoji to be looking directly to me and then if you want you can also
come closer or far away if you want your emoji to be really small. I think I'm gonna leave it
this size and then before downloading I want to show you something cool because you can add
lights to your model. On top of the screen you have this icon called lighting and from here you can
add lights and also environmental lights. You can add rectangular lights. You can see I have this
light in here and I can move it in this space. We see this rectangular light on top of my emoji face
You can also see the lights that you have added in this left menu. I'm going to delete this one and
add a spherical light. You see that the light now is right below the emoji and if I bring it up
I'm going to start illuminating the top of the head of my emoji. Let's delete this light
and add a dome light. As you can see my emoji is very illuminated at the moment. You can see that
we have a lot of light in front of the face and let me delete it so you can see the difference
Now with the dome light and now without and then you can also add environmental lights as I already
mentioned. You can try them by clicking on these thumbnails and see which one you prefer. I think I
like this one right here and then you will see that on the right hand side you have some
environmental light settings. If you move the first slider to the right you will have more light on
your model and if you move it to the left it will be darker. So let me show you moving the slider to
the right. This is a lot of light and then if I move it to the left it's gonna be completely dark
So I'm gonna leave it to 14. Why not? And then with this one you are going to rotate the
illumination on the scene. So let me show you quickly how this one looks like if I move the
slider to the right and then if I move it to the left. I'm gonna leave this one to zero and I think
I am ready to download my emoji. So on top of the screen you will see the export button. Click here
and then download image. From here you have two options image export and 3d export. If you want
to download this file to 3d print select this one and you will see the 3d print in here. I just want
a png file so I'm going to image export. You can select the resolution so I'm going for 4k. Why not
Format, png. I want my emoji without a background so I'm going to leave it as it is and then I don't
want to see the grid on my emoji either. So this one is going to be deselected as well. Then simply
export image and you will have this little pop-up message that says we are preparing your image to
be downloaded. It can take up to a minute or more. They are saying as well that you can continue
working on your project while they download your design. So if you want continue working on it and
actually my design is ready to be downloaded. It took just a couple of seconds and let me name it
and save it. And this is the final outcome. Please let me know what do you think about this 3d emoji
that we created today. Now I would like to hear from you if this tutorial was easy to follow and
also I would like to know if you were able to create something with Wumpf after watching this
video. Please let me know in the comments. To discover more tools for content creators we have
plenty of tutorials you will love. Subscribe to our channel and watch this playlist to learn more
I think this is it for this video and I hope to see you in the next one. Bye
