@latent charm ctrl + n seems to break everything
what does it even do?
Something of note I just noticed from fiddling - The weight for the right leg (the one with a growth) look like this https://puu.sh/yGr2M.png but when I click mirror it doesn't seem to mirror the weight faces I added https://puu.sh/yGr5o.png
cursive wedge
I guess the model is decimated or the Vertecies have moved so it doesnt mirror correctly, just paint it yourself :p
latent charm
@silent vine ctrl+n should just recalculate the normals direction. If that's breaking shit (shouldn't be) select the problem faces and press w and select flip normals.
silent vine
@latent charm https://puu.sh/yGrAF.jpg it changed it's colour? lol

How do I create a parent vertex group in blender?
pulsar hawk
@stone holly can you elaborate ?
languid osprey
Is there any way you can make facial animation from 3ds Max work for Unity? I have tried morph targets, but that doesn't seem to work. It is like blend shapes, and that works in Unity. Can I use something in 3ds Max that works for Unity?
upper kiln
@languid osprey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9dJCT6AuCM
make sure no bake animation
in fbx
@coarse mauve would know more or mechiai
languid osprey
Alright, thanks. I'll see if there is something I've missed.

How much would it cost for someone to make a custom fully near perfect model with VR and non VR compat.? Also maybe some animations
cobalt willow
Really depends on the complexity of the model and the 3D artist's prices. Check https://vrcat.club/ or join the VRC Traders discord posted in #353285911322034177 and find an artist doing commissions @void sparrow
hazy linden
can anyone explain why its selecting the entire armature when trying to weight paint this mesh?
but not for the other meshes
latent charm
@hazy linden Need to add vertex groups that match the bone names before you can weight paint. Quick and easy way is
select mesh
shift select armature
ctrl+p → Armature Deform: With Empty Groups
Then you can weight paint
Or maybe you just need to set the armature to pose mode with ctrl+tab

fluid wigeon
Hey guys, i would like to know how much would it cost to pay someone to recreate my avatar from Secondlife as a 3D model i could use in VRchat?
cobalt willow
@fluid wigeon If you have the source files PM me and we can talk later
I have done it before for another user
fluid wigeon
would still work if its a mesh body made by someone else i use?
cobalt willow
As long you get the files to your computer, I guess? Don't really know much about second life
thorn moth
Honestly, considering how most avatars in SL are put together, a fully remade custom one would probably be the better route then trying to frankstien it back together in blender, and that's not even getting into the mess that would be all of the textures and UV's you'd have to manage
cobalt willow
It wasn't too difficult getting the SL avatar I got working
The uvs were intact on that one
thorn moth
Ya, but having a dozen different textures isn't very ideal unless you're willing to go through the effort of fusing them all together
cobalt willow
I've done worse work :p
@fluid wigeon But yeah, let me know later if you can get hold of the model files.

Somebody told me to put it in here but would anyone be able to help me get my Zenyatta Model to float and for his golden ball things to show up on his model/ potentially rotate?

Is there any resources on how to make guns, etc?
I've seen characters have them, as well as swords, etc.
crimson seal
those are called animation overrides
there's a few tutorials on them
(which I don't have any links to because I don't know how to do them either, I only just learned they were called that yesterday)
brave lily
@stone holly theres no actual video on how to make the gun add effects/particles/sound all together you're just gonna have to watch seperate videos and then put them together but the closest one to every would be this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0l4-pH3vI4&t=221s
im still trying to figure it out myself lol

How do i go about filling this in?
native girder
You could try hole filling. https://codeyarns.com/2013/10/22/how-to-fill-hole-in-mesh-in-blender/
Filled holes have to be retextured though. Not sure how to do that.
fervent falcon
It would require having to bake the mesh again
then redoing the textures entirely

So this is going to be an odd-ball question. I do most of my 3D stuff on Mac computers. I know of course that theoretically I could use Unity on Mac to throw together the rigging and proper stuff for my models, however I was wondering what I would be misssing out on? As to why I cannot develop on my Windows machine?? Well I don't have as much access to it as I am mostly on the move.
wary knoll
You can do all your development on mac os, just make sure you have Windows build support installed in unity. @supple vale
supple vale
Oh perfect!! Thanks for the heads up!

Trying to port a model from Max to Blender to make use of CAT's plugin and reduce my drawcalls. Saving it as an openGL ODS, but Blender puts all the bones in random places throughout the scene when I import it. Any suggestions?

Hi guys, i hope my problem is correct here.
My Problem:
I created a magic circle and i want to add it to a sword. But everytime i do it, the color changes from blue to black. Does someone know why this could happen? im adding the circles in unity to the object.
and now after adding it, it gets black:
even removing it from the object again lets it stay black.
crimson seal
I need to figure out how to do magic circle stuff

question about Blender
is there a way to get something accurate to an actual physical size? as an example, say I want a model that is 5'2"/1.5 meters tall
(Blender or Unity)
cobalt willow
@crimson seal https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/interface/ruler_protractor.html https://i.imgur.com/3nqFokn.png
cobalt willow
Not by default atleast. However, a standard 3D cube is 1 meter by default so you can use that to measure things roughly
crimson seal
ah, okay
character I gotta make is 1.3m tall
and I just wanna be as accurate as I can cause I'm weird like that
cobalt willow
You could set the scale on the Y axis on the 3D cube to 1.3
That would be exactly 1.3meter
cobalt willow
And set X and Z to like 0.1 to make it easier to measure
crimson seal
how would that affect?
crimson seal
ah, okay
hot knoll
anyone knows how to avoid having holes in the model when it's decimated?
hot knoll
nvm. remove duplicates helps
hazy linden
anyone know how to make this mesh the same distance from the middle of the y axis when i apply the mirror modifier?
keeps on appearing like this
fiery galleon
it sounds to me like the origin of the object itself is somewhere wrong
so you may have to go into edit mode to get the vertexes of the object more near it's actual origin, and then move the origin to the correct place

carmine plinth
hi ho
I have a little problem, I downloaded a .stl model but it doesn't show the textures when i import it on blender
it didn't come with separate texture/materials, but in the thumbnail it had textures, are they inside the .stl?
narrow olive
stl files don't contain any texture information as far as I know
worn steppe
@carmine plinth stll files have no color data. strictly for 3d printing
carmine plinth
@worn steppe Thanks! Dind't know that
barren holly
If you import the textures too properly they will be normalmapped to the object though
I believe
So like if you were using google blocks and you import google block's palette of colors it will work
spiral sigil
Does anyone know how to make an image into a model? I saw this guy as Dr.phill and it was 2D looking when you looked at him from his sides, it was pretty funny
carmine plinth
@spiral sigil I think there is an option to import images, like jpg in blender
crimson seal
there is
I can't remember how to do it, but there is
it's what I did to make a tree
(all the leaves are just one leaf with a colour randomiser repeated over and over)
carmine plinth
oh ok, you go to blender user preferences > addons, then search por the addon called Import_Export: Import Images as Planes
spiral sigil
@carmine plinth what do i do from there?
wary knoll
Or you can just create a quad in unity and drag your image onto it.
carmine plinth
spiral sigil

carmine plinth
you could also try Squid's method

dire ginkgo
drag the blender file into unity
That should import it as a prefab
then drag the prefab from the assets folder in your project panel into the hierarchy panel
You might only be able to see the image from one side though - the other side might be transparent, if the normals are only one-sided
If the plane doesn't have your picture on it
drag the image into unity
Then click on the material that the plane is using
then click this circle next to albedo
and select the image

weary iris
hey anybody have experience with blender??
weary iris
can anyone help me out with a model?
fiery galleon
@quartz thunder I would just say that means make the hat bigger and tilt it away from the part where it's clipping
quartz thunder
@fiery galleon yea thats what i did at after not finding solid solution for it
like i thought theres a quick way to make the "santa"model force display above everything else
fiery galleon
@weary iris it's easier to help if you give a picture and a reason than just saying "can someone help", but what's up?
I mean maybe but it would probably involve shaders or something, and it might not be very efficient when everything is very pipelined these days, graphics-wise
spiral sigil
@quartz thunder its because the hair mesh is pushing through, u got to reshape the hat or the air, moving the vertexs of wich ever section you pick. I would pick the hair and push down where its clipping
quartz thunder
So i will have to move around the vertex of either hair or /santa (pref hair) just to make the santa hat more visual ? Dam i thougth theres some kinda of category system to define which model is basicly transparent and which force display through others fully
so basicly i gotta go back to pmx editor and play around

frail dawn
Anyone have a YouTube video of how to make changing lights on your avatar like rainbows and stuff?
lapis needle
@frail dawn Its not recommended to put light sources on your avatar as they can conflict with any light sources curently in the scene or any special post processing effects
frail dawn
I mean I see people who have like rainbow colored hair and was wondering if there’s any videos on how to do stuff like that.
loud silo
hey
does anyone know how to make both sides of a mesh visible
in the textures?
@here anyone?
is there a nocull value somewhere im missing?
dire ginkgo
What do you mean?
cobalt willow
@loud silo You gotta find a double-sided shader
fiery galleon
@frail dawn it's a shader, so it's just part of the material, it's programmed in the shader to change colors
spiral sigil
@quartz thunder yep it's a pain. If there was a way around it I would be a happy man. But that's pretty much one of the joys of D modeling.
ancient sage
If the amount of faces when decimating is 6k im good right?
spiral sigil
Yep. Give you a good amount of wiggle room to add extra aswell
ancient sage
Do I need to add extra? im just getting an MMD ready to upload, also it says avatar measures too large on one axis
Nevermind found out where the scale was lol
Well I think I definitely messed something up
spiral sigil
U don't need extra but if wanted add some funky stuff like hats and what not you can.

@spare nest So I removed all the transform rotations and it looks like this in unity
Thoughts?
spare nest
Try add offset when you export/import from blender?
Not sure whether the change in transfrom in unity will be effective in game
ancient sage
offset?
spare nest
I think when you export fbx there should be options to set the transfrom of model
ancient sage
Ill check, forgot to save my blender model so i gotta redo bone parenting
ancient sage
When imported to unity it starts at that position
spare nest
So you change the transform to make up straight and upload and became michael jackson?
ancient sage
Yeah, in blender its standing straight up too
spare nest
What will happen if you leave it like that and upload?
ancient sage
It goes into unity rotated
spare nest
and directly upload into the game?
ancient sage
Also im trying to export the FBX but I dont know where the offset thing is
spare nest
Without changing the transform
spare nest
I mean since your model is lying on the ground horizontally when you freshly import into unity, and you rotated it to make it upstraight right?
ancient sage
Yeah, it wouldnt let me upload it as it was under 20cm
I think I may have fixed that issue though
But now im dealing with size issues lol
spare nest
Weird
ancient sage
Yeah and apparently some parenting stuff got messed up

they could be a little bit more clear on that point ^^ but the rest of the avatar making process in unity is so user friendly I was actually super impressed
I'll have to retopo a little bit still as I might want to experiment with some kind of cloth on her too. aaand she needs teeth.

hot knoll
any tips on how to decimate this without messing up the fingers?
latent charm
@hot knoll Vertex groups.
Basically, make a vertex group, go into weight paint mode for that group and paint the finger tips & joints at full weight (red). Then in the decimate modifier, set that group in it. Then as you pull the slider down it will avoid that area. (Once a group has been set a little <-> button appears next to it, that inverts the group's influence on the modifier)
I can give you further examples if you need them.
latent charm
I strongly suggest doing that on any deforming mesh. Keeping decimation away from the joints is always a good thing. I mean, you can decimate the joints a little but it's a case of trying it and seeing how bad they deform after.
Which you can preview by putting the armature modifier after the decimate modifier and going into pose mode and giving those limbs a good waggle around.
hot knoll
yeah! i just feel i just leveled up lol
cobalt willow
You could also manually decimate it. Select the hand mesh and press CTRL + F and choose "tri to quad", then select the edge selector and mouse over loopcuts and hold ALT + SHIFT + Rightclick to select them and then press X and dissolve edge
latent charm
That's the best method of reducing the poly count. Also the hardest and slowest. You have to take into account supporting edge and face flow and do your best to maintain them.
cobalt willow
Yup. It's obviously more tedious, takes longer and you have to get creative sometimes but it usually gives the best results.
Especially if you need to decimate carefully
latent charm
And of course, none of these methods exclude using any of the others. You'll get the best results by using a mix of all of them. It's a case of knowing when and where to use which ones and how they all interact.
Also don't use planar decimation unless you know why you should be.
hot knoll
i don't like tris. i would rather do a full retopo
latent charm
Ugh, what I wouldn't give for models to be provided with their original topology. But alas, graphics cards must have their triangles.
hot knoll
yeah
latent charm
Although the tri->quad method Zarni mentioned is often a tolerable substitute.
Also alt+j is a quick shortcut to it.

lapis needle
@spiral sigil Its because you put the render mode into "Rendered"
Next to the tab button you use to change to edit mode and object mode there is a little orb looking thing with an up and down arrow on it. Click on it and you can switch between the diffrent render modes. You either pressed "Z" (wireframe mode) twice or you used "shift+tab" (quick switch between render modes)
vague atlas
Anyone know how to solve this https://i.imgur.com/I7Wx2Ff.png i have tried to replace parts and remake from scratch with no luck

Solve what?
vague atlas
the walls being metalic looking, look at the bottom of the object one side is bright and other is dark
lapis needle
@vague atlas It could be blender showing you your normals are backwards in some places. To check this bring up the side bar by pushing "n" find the tab called "shading" and turn on backface culling. If the walls dissapear you need to flip the normals. Also if its just the material being metallic itself you can adjust it in the material tab underneath the outliner box.
If thats not it either. You can try and push "t" (tool tab) and under neath the tools tab under edit select your mesh in object mode and then push smooth under shading

New to modeling, are there any programs or plugins that enable 2d images to be made into (probably rough/basic) 3d models?
lapis needle
@buoyant gyro There is one that I know of
buoyant gyro
Sweet! What's the name?
lapis needle
radiant sage
@buoyant gyro you pretty much have to just use blender and take the 2d drawing and use it as a template for your model
lapis needle
I use that method for everything. Its a topolgy method where you can use 2 refrence images to make just about anything.
buoyant gyro
Wanted to make an avatar from this: https://i.imgur.com/W8SwftZ.jpg
Thanks for the help, should make it a lot easier.
radiant sage
you would need to redraw it with a standard concept design layout

Unless your good like me. I could make that into a model
radiant sage
yeah its possible, but you have to guesstimate
buoyant gyro
I've never made a model in my life.
lapis needle
Do something easier than that
lapis needle
Cuz if you have never modeled before trying to model an anime character is going to frustrate you very much
buoyant gyro
I could probably simplify it just by finding a basic female animu smoli model, then changing any facial things to match, adding the hair after. Sweater seems like the hardest part to me.

anime is kinda hard because you have to protray what you expect it to be like in 3d

Hey all. I am right now rolling with the Sinon tutorial which seems to be popular here (she's my waifu). Anyways, I decided on recommendation by @analog lark to scale the model to my actual body dimensions (the good news is that I have a runner's body, so long legs short upper body). What's the best way about setting up the proportions to where it's not unnaturally off to where it will not look too off model from the original character design?

Slow going, but using my basic knowledge of MMD models to make a good setup for Shape Keys
rocky dagger
anyone knows how to fix the flexes of a source engine model that has been imported to blender? The body keyshapes are located in the head and I cant seem to figure out how to relocate or fix it
lapis needle
If they came from a source engine/gmod file the shape keys may work diffrent because blender doesnt natively support it. Can you specify what you mean doesnt work?
rocky dagger
The shape keys are in the head, so when I use them, for example, a shape key to make the model be thinner, It just deforms the head. I can not transfer the keys since the head and the body have two different vertices counts. I would like for it to behave properly and transform the body mesh and not deform the head.
@lapis needle Im using the Crowbar Extractor to convert them into QC files and opening them with the Source engine blender plugin btw
spiral sigil
would anyone know why people see two of my avatar when they use vr?
lapis needle
@rocky dagger Select your base shape key and select all vertices in edit mode you wish to be reset to there base shape. Next push "w" and click "shape propagate" this will reset all vertices on all of your shape keys to the base position. You could also just split the head from the body mesh, remove the shrink shape key from the head mesh and then rejoin it to the body.
rocky dagger
ill try it now, also when I use the shape keys, it deforms the head but not the body, forgot to mention that. Hopefully This works
lapis needle
You might have to make a shape key for the body to shrink.
rocky dagger
@lapis needle Ok so It didnt work, The head is already separated from the body mesh by default, thats why it doesnt affect the body mesh I think, I believe this is because Gmod and SFM can deform meshes from a model even if the shape key is in a totally different and separated part. Is there a way to move a shapekey from one object to another that has a different vertex count?
lapis needle
Does the body have shape keys on it? If not. Then I dont know then.
rocky dagger
Nope, The all the shape keys are cramped with all the other facial keys on the head. I tried it in SFM and Gmod and it works perfectly but in blender is a mess. I guess it's just not possible. Thank you so much anyways, ill just move on to another model
spiral sigil
Is there a reason why this is happening?
I've re-added the material and checked transparency, it's opaque
nvm. Fixed it with tinted.
lapis needle
Your culling could also be backwards. In blender what you can do to fix it is: select all of your faces in edit mode and push "ctr+n" this will recalculate all the normals to the proper direction.

fiery plaza
Hey there, I'm following a guide on how to optimize an avatar, and I'm at the point where I'm trying to texture atlas. I'm following the steps, but the UV map goes nuts, and the texture atlas seems to be overwriting instead of creating a new UV. So when I go to try and switch the texture mapping back to UV map, all that is there is Texture atlas.
The tutorial has no other steps inbetween or settings to turn on, so I think something is missing from it
chrome tree
@fiery plaza The camera icon. Make sure you're on UVMap before you bake your Texture Atlas. Also I hope you didn't delete all of your materials if your TextureAtlas doesn't look right.
fiery plaza
I have multiple saves of the model as I go, so I didnt lose anything ^w^
chrome tree
@fiery plaza That's the way to do it!
fiery plaza
Hmm, well I still think I am missing something
this is the point in the vid that I am getting stuck
When I select the material, then texture, and try to switch mapping back to UV Map for the material there is only "TextureAtlas" available

i got that problem couple time
i just went back to beginng
try do it over again
because maybe miss somthing
spiral sigil
I forgot how much of a bitch modeling something from scratch is.
quasi ingot
i wish there was a way to download a texture of a shape or mesh from unity so i could easily make textures and materials
and not have to guess the side by multiple random textures
fiery plaza
Well, I've tried it from scratch a few times now. And the model always goes from textured just fine, to broken and the UV map missing after I pack islands.
Is it possible that the Texture Atlas is overwriting the UV Map instead of making a new selection?
chrome tree
@fiery plaza You are pressing the Finish button right?
fiery plaza
Nope, let me run through it again and try that.
Woo, that was the issue
I understand what it was doing now too because of that. The duplicate object that it dispalys while unwrapping was missing the UVmaps because it was only the texture atlas
So it messed up, and had nothign to switch back too. Finish merged them back, and UVmaps are back
so thaaaaaaank you!
I wish I knew about this feature of blender 2 years ago when I was making models and painting textures and unwrapping UV's by hand...

sturdy salmon
- yes, it's tris
- just move it up
torn plover
@wicked schooner there is a technique to turn splines into hair type objects that are easy to manipulate because of the ease of moving spline points will deform the object in edit mode. I created 2 line splines and a circle spline. Now I reduced the Resolution - Preview U so the curves have less points on all splines. then i select the first spline and for bevel object select the circle, and for target object select the 2nd spline. THen you will get this shape that can be modified by editing the points. If you need more segments, change the resolution of one or more of the objects. Then when done positioning your hair altC to turn to mesh then with all verts selected go remove doubles to weld the top and bottom so you dont have shading smooth errors.
also as for optimizing model, select loops and dissolve them; will be faster also in symmetry
as for topology for rigging, this is a good example of the collapsing triangle joint which allows for simple but effective distortion at low poly cost
cobalt willow
I love you for this gif
torn plover
another example ive found in a practical setting
cobalt willow
In editmode, press K I believe and you can make cuts in the mesh
just make cuts from vertex to vertex
then you can add those in

kind ruin
Any reccomendations on reducing the poly count on a model I found? Its too high for VRchat, and proOptmize from 3dsmax seemed to not port over to unity, so i am lost
torn plover
@kind ruin pro optimizer is tricky to use properly and can mess up rigging & UVs. You can use Graphite modelling tools to dot ring select edges and then expand loops and remove them in high density areas which will roughly reduce by half. One of the better videos on Max optimizing is this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1v1YUC6z64 (granted, you don't have to go as low poly as this example of mobile target polycount, but the techniques are solid)
In any case of heavy optimizing you will have to recheck your rigging/skin modifier due to topology changes
ALso that Graphite modelling tools reduction loop dot ring technique i just mentioned is shown in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYK3MP1G910
kind ruin
thanks for pointing me in the right direction
torn plover
No problem 😃 max is my main. Also for blender users I believe you can use the same techniques as the above video for optimizing. A page on how to do similar "dot ring/loop" methods here with gif examples for blender https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/3487/select-every-other-face-loop

ill figure it out
spiral sigil
What exactly do you need want*to do?
spiral sigil
...couldnt you just select them and move them down until they are hidden, or perhaps move the other part up to hide them. It looks like that mesh can be fixed just by joining them both in one object, then selecting and moving them a bit and then just merging the dots to make sure its one mesh instead of two different ones
sudden tapir
no...they cant be thats why im asking how to draw the lines
spiral sigil
shrug.
latent charm
@sudden tapir Go to side view (3 on the number pad) and make sure it's in ortho view (look at the top left of the 3D viewport, it should say User Persp, needs to be User Ortho, press 5 on the number pad)
Mesh in edit mode, press shift+k and that'll let you cut edge lines.
torn plover
^this. also you could attempt to border select those tops, then flatten the border loop selections on the Z axis and then drag down (proportional edit as well to bring everything else down)

Me neither, hence why I'm so confused, I think it's not really important as I done some research, MMD uses it, so I don't know if it's relevant for this channel's topic. I think it's an animated texture file with transparency. Hence why I cant easily convert it to tga or png.

how can i fix it @spiral sigil

use cats plugin thats in the pins its the easiest way and works so far for everything ive tried

left is how it is before, then right is after exporting to FBX. its probably something really simple that i dont know but as a beginner id appreciate if someone can tell me or give me a little hint as to what i have done wrong here

i did, yeah

hmm

i deleted a lot of the mesh but there are no loose points anywhere which i thought might've been causing it

then if you go and export it over to unity it shouldn;t look that way anymore
shouldn't*
the .fbx file I mean

just to make sure, you have mmd_tools, mmd_utils, and Cat, right?
all three?
spiral sigil
yeah ive used it before on other models

yeah you just need to put it to a setting that doesn't do that visually
decimating it removes polygons
you can't just set it to lowest
spiral sigil
I haven't put any modifiers on it

yeah you have
you said you lowered the tris
which is decimation
that's what's messing up ur model
spiral sigil
I have done this manually by cutting pieces off. Do I still need to switch a setting somewhere?
spiral sigil
maybe ill just call it a loss and move on..

alright
but this is after you've got it under 20k?
it worked for me to before lowering it

gimme a second
talking with the fam
the wings take up a big majority of the tris
i got a good 10k out of it
it makes it look ugly as all hell though
