[warm robin]

and yeah

[spiral sigil]

when i imported it some of the textures were missing, which you have

[keen gazelle]

@warm robin go to materials and make sure most of them are opaque

[warm robin]

oh right

i always forget opacity

[keen gazelle]

my hair turned into a jellyfish and i got confused lol

[spiral sigil]

@warm robin can you give me a quick detail of what you did to the model

[warm robin]

i just used all the settings there in cats

and then i went and applied meshes, shape keys, separated mats

and applied bones

[gray crystal]

how hard would this be to make

[spiral sigil]

and decimated a little bit?

[warm robin]

that wouldn't be hard to make i assume

but im not the one to ask for making models

lul

alright, I finished it

😃

[spiral sigil]

the model?

[warm robin]

mhm

just uploaded 2 variants of it

ill show ya

[spiral sigil]

ok I will look at it

[warm robin]

come to hyper

[spiral sigil]

is that a world? how did you decimate it without losing shape keys

[warm robin]

decimation doesn't affect shape keys

[spiral sigil]

when i tried it, it gave me a warning message 'cant decimate a mesh that has shape keys'

[warm robin]

yeah, you probably hit the wrong thing

i remember doing something like that

now I just need to figure out how to make blinking animations

hopefully someone here knows how to do that q.q

[spiral sigil]

from scratch?

[warm robin]

and then i can apply dynamic bones to the clothing

nah

i just need blinking animations

[spiral sigil]

the shape keys for the blinking is already there for this model

you just apply them on cats

[warm robin]

really?

link me a sc

and then show me what to do q.q

[spiral sigil]

you just put them in the eyes part on cats inthe labelled slots and hit create

[warm robin]

wot

[spiral sigil]

???

[warm robin]

hold up

lemme look at that

you're gonna have to walk me through tha

that*

[spiral sigil]

in the eye tracking section, all you do is assign blink left, blink right in the drop down menus to the associated shape key

[warm robin]

uh

[spiral sigil]

the blink left.001, blink right.001 are the correct ones in this case

[warm robin]

what

i don't even know how to use shape keys

q.q

[spiral sigil]

you dont have to use them, just assign them

its in the cats plugin tutorial video

[warm robin]

alright

ill check that out

[golden mulch]

can anyone help me im getting upper chest error when trying to publish avatar

[wicked schooner]

Ok so

When Im texturing, for some reason a lot of areas are just

off on the area for no reason

[warm robin]

this avatar im working with right now is legit garbage lul

[wicked schooner]

Like ok

https://i.imgur.com/IqQajNx.png If I paint over this block

https://i.imgur.com/8tsaPlU.png

it shoots off like that

[warm robin]

weird

[wicked schooner]

Anyone have any ideas?

[warm robin]

Nah man

im all about models

no idea why that's happening though

[rugged turtle]

Bad UVs i guess

[warm robin]

Hey, could anyone try to see if this model's eyes are riggable? It's being super weird for me.

https://kirakirin.deviantart.com/art/MMDxDDLC-YYB-styled-Monika-BETA-DOWNLOAD-721538548

[wicked schooner]

How do I make good UVs thennnn

[spiral sigil]

shape keys are there, eyes are ready to go

[warm robin]

@spiral sigil you gotta teach me how to do that ;-;

I'm so confused with shape keys and all of it in general

[spiral sigil]

translate the shape keys, then go to eye tracking > Blink left and assign 'Wink 2' do the same for Blink right with 'Wink 2 Right'. hit create eye tracking

thats it

[warm robin]

okay

uh

screw it bro

can we just get in a call

then i can see your screen

and you see mine

cause i have literally no idea what's going on

[spiral sigil]

I don't really wanna do that i can show you a screenshot of the interface, but its all there right in front of you mane. and it is explained thoroughly in the tutorial video

[warm robin]

Well, I don't see a screen that was showing earlier

look

I don't know where the winking animations and all that it

[keen gazelle]

@spiral sigil make sure to remove the rigibodies before importing

[spiral sigil]

yeah i delete them after i dont see an option for doing it on import

[keen gazelle]

oh yeah that's what i meant, just makin sure you know

[warm robin]

wot

so just delete and restart?

cause i don't see the shape keys option anymore

I did before

[spiral sigil]

this is what i mean with the decimating or doing some things removing shape keys

are you sure it doesnt do it?

[spiral sigil]

also the shape keys dont show unless you have the right thing in the hierarchy selected

[warm robin]

which is?

[spiral sigil]

what it is that i have selected inthe screenshot

maybe separating the meshes messes it up

[warm robin]

I think that fixed it?

[spiral sigil]

yeah then just hit create and thats all that needs to be done

[wicked schooner]

Ok

anyone know how to copypaste from one blender file to another cause

Im tired of modelling this hair

[warm robin]

@spiral sigil but the eyes don't move when I test them

the ends of the eye lashes do

it's weird

[spiral sigil]

we were only talking about blinking. ur probably better off disabling the eye movement becuase it always looks weird imo

[latent charm]

@wicked schooner File>append
Select the blend file you want the object(s) FROM, when you accept that will bring them into the current blend file.

[warm robin]

@spiral sigil No, I mean, when she blinks, it only moves her outer-eyelash

[spiral sigil]

it works for me when i tested it for the screenshot

so i dunno

[warm robin]

screw it

im gonna make a new model

Sigh

alright, it's working now

finally

now I just need to apply both hair and jiggle physics through dynamics bones, and ill have a fully functioning model

thanks for all your help guys

I really mean it

[wicked schooner]

IT WAS DECIMATE

[frail spire]

hey um guys

i kinda need help

when ever i do create atlas

my charactor turn dark

like

this

any help?

[wicked schooner]

@warm robin I had decimate on

Protip to all

adjust your seams BEFORE coloring

https://i.imgur.com/mZ5bqic.png

[tiny lantern]

halp

pls

i have this problem

shet wrong one

that one

i need help

its driving me crazy

[warm robin]

Hey, guys, What should I do if a character's skirt is linked to it's hair via the spine, but I want to only exclude the skirt?

Im trying to use dynamics bones

[sacred zenith]

@tiny lantern yo your shoulder bones and neck bones arnt parented to ur chest bone so u need to put them under ur chest bone group I'll get you a screen shot in a few

[warm robin]

Hey, does anyone have any tips on how I could set individual inert and damping values on 2 separate parts of a model, each enabled with dynamic bones?

[untold jacinth]

hi, when I export my model from blender to unity, it breaks all my textures : http://kysmoboy.pl/24-12-17_9k2r.png

btw it's the first time, I'm using those bunch of softwares

[sacred zenith]

Double click on ur model and on ur left a panle will show u all the mats used make sure their all set to opaque if the problem is still their go into the mats file and find the face texture and drag it onto the face

[untold jacinth]

@sacred zenith thanks for the response, but that solved my problem at half. I have the skin texture now but a lot of things on it too http://kysmoboy.pl/24-12-17_946x.png

[lament pond]

Scared myself, forgot I turned off those textures

[warm robin]

hey, anyone know why my model changes drastically when i merge it?

[steel sorrel]

In what way

[warm robin]

when i join the meshes

[steel sorrel]

Yes but how does it "change"

[warm robin]

before

after

Look at the image

@steel sorrel

[steel sorrel]

Are you applying the decimation first?

[warm robin]

yeo

yep

[gaunt mango]

I've been working on this model for some time now.
But I can't seem to fix the transparent part between his legs.
Any ideas?

[steel sorrel]

It's not transparent, icons show through models.

[gaunt mango]

@steel sorrel Using the model ingame right now. It's transparent

[steel sorrel]

Is the material set to opaque in unity?

[gaunt mango]

Only the inside of the coat

It is

In Blender, everything seems alright

[warm robin]

@steel sorrel so, you got nothing?

[loud barn]

What's a good software for making custom skins for existing models?

[steel sorrel]

Nah, sorry mate. Only other thing i can think of is making sure it's weighting properly. @warm robin

Pretty much everyone uses blender. @loud barn

[loud barn]

Oh, I don't know much on blender besides decimation and rigging lol I'll learn more about It, thank you

[wicked schooner]

Protip

Make sure your lines are well made before texturing

[vocal rose]

Question can you use rigidbody in VRchat i have sholder pads on the model that need to move with the hands but at the same time they need to solid in shape.

Has anyone tryed it?

[restive raptor]

Rigid bodies work in VRChat

Though don’t use too many or they’ll cause too lag

[vocal rose]

Tnx 👍

its just for the sholderpad the rest is normal rig

[lament pond]

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone from my girls!

[lavish falcon]

when i decimate and rejoin the meshes, the face count goes back up to the starting amount but the quality remains as if it was decimated

wat do

should i just leave the meshes unjoined or is that bad

[robust bear]

guys

so i got up and my headphones dropped when i went to check something and when i got back my modeling is like this https://gyazo.com/cc71cb167c0ad45938df73aa3f7efa9a what happened

[cedar walrus]

hello, im kinda new to unity and all that, but im trying to figure out how to add lighting to my eyes to make them glow and shine like other ppl's models have it, ive tried point lights but i dont think im doing it right, can anyone point me in the right direction :x

[spiral sigil]

Hey

Why would legs appear backwards in-game? look fine everywhere else.

[grim mica]

Anyone up who knows which shapekeys vrchat needs? I want to make them myself, without cats

[lament pond]

There are 19 total

[charred echo]

how do i reduce the poly amount for my character, i tried maya, then my character no longer worked in unity i tried blender, but my fbx file didn't appear in blender after importing it, what the fuck do i do?!

[spiral sigil]

@charred echo decimate the model in blender

That is the only way

[charred echo]

when i try to import the fbx file it literally doesn't appear

don't know what to do

[hidden umbra]

Does anyone know how to fix an avatars feet clipping in the ground?

[charred echo]

PLEASE SOMEONE I NEED HELP WITH REDUCING THIS FUCKING POLY AMOUNT

i will fucking stab a bitch

[tawny anchor]

look up decimation, that is if you can import it in blender lol

[grim mica]

Where do i put my blink-shapekey in visemes in unity?

[upper kiln]

@grim mica if use eye tracking make sure 4 blink blend shape in order before visime mouth

[grim mica]

Not using eye tracking, just want that my char blinks like every 10 sec or so

maybe i have to make an anim for that

[upper kiln]

If visime mouth in them slots it use blink animation on them

If no eye tracking their #tutorials channel

I made use animation

@Kouji#4541

https://youtu.be/cBIZrRWeBTM

[grim mica]

@upper kiln thanks!

[dusk kettle]

Anyone here has the ooka miko model for unity to pass me by?

[cedar walrus]

anyone know why pinlights i add to my model's eye, would show up in unity, and avatar preview in vrchat, but not ingame when loaded in?

[wicked schooner]

Proooobably about to sleep but thought id ask

https://imgur.com/SF2ZLRf

Basically, the hair, body and eyes are 3 seperate objects but id obviously wanna export them in a way where the 3 seperate textures can work together, anyone have any ideas?

[spiral sigil]

i had something regarding that... lemme check. (Though, if your textures arent that big, it shouldn't cause any issues ingame.)

@wicked schooner https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/15510/possible-to-bake-texture-to-new-uv-map that could technically work

[wicked schooner]

its more, just the fact theres 3 of them

[spiral sigil]

so you connect them all, create a new UV map, and rebake your textures into one image for the new uv map

[wicked schooner]

does that mean I mayyyyyyy have to repaint

[spiral sigil]

Or you can just do it the simple way

connect all 3 images into one using photoshop and then just move the uv maps to fit the new image :v

[wicked schooner]

the easier way would be able to just somehow make all 3 objects/textures work but

from what ive learned this last 2 days

blender aint easy

[spiral sigil]

My personal model has around 6 images, with normal mapping and all that other fluff for semi-realism. Its not that big of a deal as long as your images arent in 4k resolution or anything like that

[wicked schooner]

I just have no idea how id make them work, unless I just

was able to export the model in a way where it can load into unity with the textures set in

I also gotta rig it

[spiral sigil]

Well, first of all, you should turn on smoothing on your model, else it'll look very polygonal. As for unity, you can just drag and drop your textures onto your model and it'll automatically set them up in materials.

For a first time rigger you can just use blender's autorig, then just tweak it lightly

also id suggest using toon shaders on that model, default unity shader might make it look weird

[unborn dome]

my models arms are going through their sleeves

but like

wrong

help

[spiral sigil]

Check if your sleeves have weight paint on your shoulders

[wicked schooner]

Mako you ok

Mako calm down

[ashen nacelle]

Fug. @. @ Don't have time to learn to rig up new version of avatar in Unity.

[wicked schooner]

also Kirillian, I did model it smoooooth but like

I went waaaaaaaaay over the 20k limit so

[spiral sigil]

Its not that, lad

its called smooth shading

[wicked schooner]

Ooooooooo

[spiral sigil]

lemme show you where it is

[ashen nacelle]

I use Edge split

Is a nice modifier.

[spiral sigil]

Edge split is nice for mechs, yeah.

but normal map will always be better for unity

[wicked schooner]

I just wish there was like, a super easy way to put the obj and textures together

cause im lazy

[spiral sigil]

https://i.imgur.com/LrmwgLr.png

[wicked schooner]

oooooo

[spiral sigil]

shading in here, itll make it smooth

[wicked schooner]

And how do I do toony?

also im fine with it being a bit polygon

my next model is gonna be intentionally low poly

[spiral sigil]

Smoothing doesnt affect performance, just saying.

and, cartoony shaders come in Unity, so you'll have to assign it there

[wicked schooner]

Ooooh so

thats for when I basically just import it?

[spiral sigil]

yeh

[unborn dome]

how do i make my sleeves have weight paint on my shoulders

[wicked schooner]

why did I decide to take up this I have a webcomic I need to work on

[unborn dome]

i kinda suck at this

[wicked schooner]

Hey me too

[spiral sigil]

https://i.imgur.com/QUj25me.png

weight paint is there

basically, the more red your thing is, the more it is deformed by your skeleton's bones

[wicked schooner]

So thats post-bonitis

[spiral sigil]

of course, to see which bone has the most weight applied to it, you have to enter pose mode and click on the bone

https://i.imgur.com/7dOGAhj.png here's an example of weight paint

the blue outlined bone is the selected one, the colors show how much it deforms with that bone

red = hard and not deforming, moves with the bone entirely

greenish = slight deformation, can be deformed with other bones as well

so if your sleeves are just... blue, then they are not affected by your shoulders

sooo youll just have to paint them a bit until they become the proper color you want and move together with your arms

[wicked schooner]

is that jack

[spiral sigil]

yeh

just as example model

[unborn dome]

ok how do i select a bone

[ashen nacelle]

Robots are fun, cuz it can

ALL stay blue

[spiral sigil]

in pose mode, select your skeleton and then go to the same menu as ive shown before

there'll be pose mode, then click back on mesh and you can weight paint

[wicked schooner]

Ill figure all this out tomorrow

i have the textures saved so thankfully, I can always load em back up

but for now, slep

[spiral sigil]

GL with your model

[unborn dome]

ok so this bone is selected now right

[upper kiln]

@unborn dome what your trying to do?

[unborn dome]

add

weight paint

to these sleeves

so they dont go through my arms

but i suck

at everything

[upper kiln]

is it group to armature?

[unborn dome]

nevermind i figured it out

[unborn dome]

nevermind i didnt figure it out but im going to try this again tomorrow im too tired right now

[stark estuary]

Hey I am new here, so sorry if this is in the wrong channel or something but can someone help me with blender and mesh issues. (I have a model I am trying to turn into an avatar but the pants on him are so baggy that they overlap each other and when I go to rig it and animate it, it does that streching thing where it thinks they are joined together rather than being two seperate peices.. hope that made came out legible hah)
I've tried to google it and youtube it but I'm not really sure what that would be called or how to describe it to seach for it so I am having troubles finding anything about it

[tired lynx]

Just curious is anyone using cinema 4d ?

[solar mauve]

Hmn

How should I fix this hole

I thought that I messed it up at one point but it seems to be like that in the original model

Tried using the make face/edge function in blender but it gives somewhat transparent faces when I try to connect some point

[spiral sigil]

there's one more dot you havent select, i'd suggest merging

[solar mauve]

Oh I just undid everything for the screen shot

This is what I mean with transparent

It should be possible to manually assign the texture right?

[spiral sigil]

Yeah, just unwrap the invisible parts and move them on the UV map to the right position

[solar mauve]

Thanks!

[charred echo]

im trying to decimate my avatar in blender, but when i press apply nothing happens

[spiral sigil]

Make sure decimate is first modifier in the list

[lament pond]

I wish the tri limit was 25,000

[spiral sigil]

gib wireframe

because there's no way that mesh cant look the same with less polygons.

[lament pond]

I'm currently finding the more redundant ones

[lament pond]

22,452

[finite trellis]

Can someone help me with this, I'm having trouble understanding this part of a tutorial
Search for your model name, replacing the mdl at the end with * (ex: airboat.* instead of airboat.mdl). There should be several files with that name but varying extentions, most commonly .dx80.vtx, .dx90.vtx, .mdl, .phy, .sw.vtx, and .vvd.
https://gyazo.com/1807f47717045db12780d2d2fcbac977

[solar mauve]

You were trying to type one of those characters into the filename?

[finite trellis]

yeah, im not sure what im suppose to do

Don't worry, I think i got it sorted.

[regal sandal]

Guys. I'm an absolute idiot when it comes to 3D modeling. I want to use an Iron Man XPS file as a custom avatar for VrChat. How could I import it?

[cobalt willow]

You'd have to find and install a xps plugin for blender and then import the model and export in a unity friendly format @regal sandal

[upper kiln]

some time need fix the xps model

there not all way perfect either

[regal sandal]

K. I'll try that

[wicked schooner]

https://imgur.com/mxkiprB So when I began to rig and apply

for some reason part of the mouth isnt, moving?

[dusk kettle]

Does anybody have ooka miko on fbx?

[red sigil]

@wicked schooner u weight painted correctly? vertex group all that?

[wicked schooner]

I havent weight painted at all yet

Speaking of, is there a way to paint something back to default? For some reason the right foot has a paint?

[red sigil]

yes on weight paint mode on the brush there is a type of brush just click that (default is Mix) choose subtract

switch between subract/add and paint

https://youtu.be/Tl4qTgwQwYw

[wicked schooner]

Ok but, how will weight painting help with the mouth connectiosn?

Is it part of the weight?

[red sigil]

u said part of the mouth isnt moving, that what weight painting does, tells the mesh which parts to move when the bone moves

[wicked schooner]

Oooooh

Alright

While im dealing with this, anyone have any recommendations on mouth rigging? For speaking

Ok so I dont think its weight, for some reason those parts are just

unlinked

Is there a way to mess with the animation in unity?

[wide onyx]

does anyone know how to reduce the triangle count in unity?

[cobalt willow]

@wide onyx You generally don't. Import your model into blender and decimate it there.

[hot knoll]

haven't done textures in years. any recommendation as for software and tutorials?

thinking maybe mudbox but haven't looked around

[upper kiln]

i don think matter what program to make texture just need to know how to make UVmap

i know somone use paint for UV mapping lol

[hot knoll]

yeah, but like adding a logo or stencil, removing seams, that kind of stuff

maybe some normal baking

[wicked schooner]

Welp this model turned out bad, time to do a differetnt one

[sullen kite]

👍

[wicked schooner]

https://i.imgur.com/45AyhMi.png this is what I get for making her lean

[wide onyx]

anyone know how to paste an image onto an object in unity?

bc everytime i drag an image into a material then onto an image, it just changes it to a different shade

[fathom timber]

fuck

i have a peice of model that i wanna delete

but i have absolutely zero idea how

[loud silo]

The delete key

Or if it's all one mesh

You'll need to edit it in blender

[wicked schooner]

https://i.imgur.com/zZFavxO.png

not intentionally that style but def a low poly idea

does anyone have a quality anime model for vrchat? I want to use it as a reference

[last hinge]

Man That would be something fun to knock out...

Do those two characters plus the ones from the UHF wierd Al version...

hmm

I think I actually did something like that back in the amiga days in 90' in sculpt 3d.

[manic hatch]

Made a minecraft model to be low poly, for events

[tulip bone]

I have a tiny problem

Whenever I try to separate by materials with mmd_tools, Blender just freezes infinitely

[latent charm]

@tulip bone Object has a lot of materials. You can speed the process up by splitting things up manually a little bit.

[tulip bone]

Oh

So it can legitimately just freeze for 30 minutes trying to separate by material?

goddamn

[latent charm]

Because MMD modelers love to use ridiculous amounts of materials for some godawful reason.

[tulip bone]

wow

Shit, what's the split button/shortcut again?

[latent charm]

p key.
I suggest selecting a few chunks of the mesh and doing select linked (ctrl+l) so you have a few separate objects, then doing separate by material on each of those individually.

[tulip bone]

oh, oki

Thnaks, daddy

[spark spade]

oy

matey

anyone here

https://gyazo.com/5b75f1685abf5aa853b0489b74939059 how do i get these textures on the model

[odd rose]

I NEED Help , why does it do this? i need help

[native girder]

Change the shaders for the material to cubeds

[odd rose]

That literally doesnt do anything

[empty wing]

anyone know how to attach a object to another in unity

[elfin geyser]

create a parent object, create a child and drag the child on top of the part in the inspector window @empty wing

[spiral sigil]

work work

[elfin geyser]

cute butt

[spiral sigil]

thank ya 😄

[empty wing]

my plan is to link the tie to him and have it move with cloth physics when he moves in ve chat i am new to unity not that good at coding

[stoic bluff]

Can't explain why it only loads the player model with the clothes but not the accesory weapons

[native girder]

Are the weapons separate files?

Also, are the weapons bound to shape keys?

[stoic bluff]

it's in a seperate file

I opened them both

it just doesn't want to have them both be open at the same time

[native girder]

ah hmm

not sure :/

Maybe open each one by itself and edit them, then import into unity and combine?

[stoic bluff]

Not like there's a choice

Might as well

[cerulean heath]

Hey guys, im trying to add a jawbone to a model of kermit. Dont know the slightest of blender tho... anyone wanna help?

how can i change the strings so that its hanging downward?

[lament pond]

Rotate it

Or give it dynamic bones so they can flow

[topaz cipher]

i just want a tiny tina model for vrchat but i suck and dont know how to do anything

[jovial crest]

@lament pond how would i do that in dynamic bone?

[lament pond]

If it already has a bone on it you can put a dynamic bone component on it

[jovial crest]

yea, when i do that it just sticks straight out and wiggles left and right

cant figure out how to do it with dynamic bone without stretching the mesh

[chrome tree]

@jovial crest I'd go into Blender and change the default pose so that the strings are hanging down. then it'll be easy to put dynamic bones on those if you want them to waggle.

[jovial crest]

Yea thats what i was thinking of doing, I have no idea how to do it though

[chrome tree]

I forget how to do it, so I can't really guide you through it.

@jovial crest Wait... maybe this will help? https://nixart.wordpress.com/2013/03/28/modifying-the-rest-pose-in-blender/

[jovial crest]

what file type are you exporting as?

[spiral sigil]

fbx

[jovial crest]

try just putting your mb or ma file into your assets folder

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/HOWTO-ImportObjectMaya.html

also try the troubleshooting stuff at the bottom of the page

i dont use maya so i cant help much

Just moving the bm file didn't work. I'll try the trouble shooting stuff now. Any input is appreciated, i'm pretty new to this 😦

[jovial crest]

why not just use blender though?

[spiral sigil]

lol good question

i had maya installed already, but i didn't think it would be this much hassle exporting it. I've also used maya a little bit before so it was the devil i knew

[jovial crest]

if none of the troubleshooting stuff works, just install blender, export it to blender, then export it as fbx in blender and see if that works lol

[spiral sigil]

i love you @jovial crest. Down the bottom in the troubleshooting it told me to delete non-deformer history and that seemd to do the trick

hes looking fly

[jovial crest]

lmao

[spiral sigil]

a little too tan but oh well

[jovial crest]

remember google is your friend

its just the light source making him tan most likely

[spiral sigil]

yeah it should be allgood, now i just have to get him in game

[night trench]

How do some people make their characters really damn big. When I tried to do it Unity tells me it's too big but I've barely up'd the scale

[jovial crest]

does it say ita too big or does it just say its probably bigger than you want?

if its the latter you still can upload it

[lapis needle]

I wonder how much longer till the vrchat community catches up with modeling animu characters.

[somber roost]

I love getting ads about pay-for Blender courses while I'm literally modelling in blender.

It's deliciously ironic.

EDIT: Thought I was still in PMs. Good thing that wasn't a much worse link.

[robust bear]

Could've also deleted it if it was a worse one

[somber roost]

I mean I deleted it anyway but if it was a much worse one I coulda been in quick trouble 😛

[craggy frigate]

i want live 2d support

[still torrent]

Anyone know how to make the wings to not have that black part in them in Unity and in game?

[cobalt willow]

@still torrent set rendering mode to cut out on the material

[still torrent]

Where do I do that?

[cobalt willow]

It's a drop down window just above where you put in the texture in the material

[still torrent]

In Unity?

[cobalt willow]

Yes

[still torrent]

Ooohh found it! Thanks!

[glad quarry]

does anyone know if there are any good plugins for decimation in blender? Or other programs altogether. Something that can do more than decimating by hand

[arctic wyvern]

do you guys know whats the deal when you import a fbx from blender to unity and the model loads in colorles?

[robust bear]

did you put the textures in BEFORE you put the avatar in

[arctic wyvern]

yep

[vocal garnet]

Is the texture format .dds by any chance?

[leaden ice]

how does one make props?

anyone?

[proud ibex]

You build an animation override in unity

the SDK comes with a controller for it i think

[leaden ice]

for props?

like static mesh objects?

[proud ibex]

Yeah, like a gun/sword/ball

that you can pull off you back or something

[leaden ice]

i mean ive seen people that just rezz stuff in, so there is a way

[proud ibex]

im not sure other than the animation override

[leaden ice]

what should i search for?

tutorial wise

[proud ibex]

you an just seach for animation override for vrchat on youtube

can*

[leaden ice]

thankies

[proud ibex]

no problem 😛

[jagged stag]

Can you use 3ds max instead of blender for shoving models into unity/vrchat

[keen wing]

I think you just need the fbx/obj.

[minor gull]

can someone help me out with unity problems

it says to add a scene desciptor

or acator descriptor

how would i go about doing that?

[keen wing]

did you import the SDK? @minor gull

[minor gull]

yes

[keen wing]

have you tried to add a component to whatever you're working on?

If not go to add component and add the descriptor ya need

[little spoke]

I'm attempting to stencil a texture onto a material (just trying to add text or an image onto a model essentially). It looks good in Blender as of right now, but if I were to save it and re-open it, it looks like the texture in not getting applied to the material/model.

Is there another step to apply the texture after I stencil it on?

[latent charm]

@little spoke Are you saving the modified texture itself after making the changes to it?

Since blender handles certain kinds of external data differently (images, video, audio) they have to be specifically saved should any changes be made to them.
Just open up the texture in the image viewer and make sure you save it as something from there.
A * next to image image* means that the image data has been changed, but not saved.

[little spoke]

@latent charm Would you be able to take a screenshot or point me in the direction of the Image Viewer?

I feel like there should be a simple way to just add an image and paste it onto a model, but all the forums I am finding have some long explanations that I'm not sure actually applies to what I'm trying to do.

[latent charm]

@little spoke Any window section can be changed to a different one. You can change something to the UV/Image editor via the icon at the left.

Also recommended reading.
https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/interface/window_system/areas.html

[little spoke]

Nice. I think I am making progress. I was able to save the image and now it is sticking to the model after save, quit, and re-open. But when I export as fbx, the materials and textures do not come with it.

into Unity

[little spoke]

Holy shit! 6 hours later. Finally got it. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Now just to add to an animation.

guys
guddamn i need help
every bloody trime it ry to put a model from unity to vrchat

i saw that, was gonna check it out but thought id ask, thanks!

[upper kiln]

yea use own skin of the character make it have less ploygon

because you have delete under the clothes then

[cobalt light]

When weight painting, is there a way to mirror onto the other side so I don't have to paint the back, too?

[wicked schooner]

Also, I assume you make the body model befor eeven starting the clothes?

[solar mauve]

Unmap it

Backspace/select none

Click the dot to the very right and select none

this mdoel has a tail

Nah its more

i fixed it

how do i fix this?

[coarse nexus]

how do i enforce t-pose in blender? anyone know?

[untold dagger]

https://gyazo.com/9855b96ed68bcd9c7b5914668c62d86a
Any ideas on why this may be?

[coarse nexus]

try changing the scale

[somber roost]

Fug, help me out here bois.

I'm just testing it out now but, say I want to use that wooden board for the floor, but I want it to tile and be used MUCH smaller across the floor. But I still want to add more things to that texture later.

Is there a way to force that UV'd spot to tile-repeat ONLY one part of the image?

Or will I likely be stuck having to use more texture files than I neccessarily would like?

[untold dagger]

@coarse nexus What do you mean? I changed the scale on unity and that didnt work.

[last hinge]

If you can isolate that surface and put a custom material on that you can scale the uv's of the texture map and probably get what you want.

[somber roost]

MMmmmn. But multiple materials is far worse of a CPU killer than multiple textures, innit?

[sonic nimbus]

Each material will require an extra draw call

@somber roost However it isn't necessary to try and cram everything into one draw call.

I would suggest that you start by using a separate material for each repeating texture.

[wicked schooner]

IF I want my models mouth to open and close as I talk, do I keep their mouth closed by default?

[sonic nimbus]

As long as you don't use a ton of different tiling textures it shouldn't cause too many extra draw calls.

[somber roost]

I wanna try and cram things as far as I can into one draw. 😛

[sonic nimbus]

That is possible but it'll make modifications a lot more difficult.

[somber roost]

I know it won't ALL be possible but I figure if I can make one part of an image tile instead of using a different image for each tiling spot (which shouldn't be too many anyway but still) I'll cut down a lot.

[sonic nimbus]

You could use a texture atlas but you'll lose resolution in the tiled textures.

Even with an 8K atlas

Alternatively you could use a custom shader that lets you specify which texture set to use in the vertex colours or UV3, and UV4 sets.

[somber roost]

D'ahkidoke. Welp, I've stll got a bit of modelling TO do before I bite hard into texturing the whole place. So.

But come that time, it's better to rpefer multiple textures over multiple materials just to clarify, right?

[fathom locust]

@vital hinge get set the shader render mode to obaque

[vital hinge]

@upper kiln Thank you, but I found the problem.... It wasn't a fbx file. Mind you, I've been researching the problem for an hour and a half now...

tiny tina low ploygon

i have that model all ready in vrchatl ol

[topaz cipher]

Lucky

[upper kiln]

xps lower ploygon only thing i did add visime and eye tracking

[uneven drift]

Could someone give me some general advice on how to approach creating a particular model?

[topaz cipher]

@upper kiln Mine was a fbx or dea it had 25k I tried lowering it in blender but it did nothing and I don't know how to do all this stuff with 3ds max and xps stuff

[uneven drift]

Are there any 3d character creator type softwares that export into a 3d model? Like BDO/EVE Online/etc. character creator type things that will export?

[spiral sigil]

anyone know why my model in game is invisible to mirrors, but ppl still see me but just mirrors wont show me?

[swift jolt]

goto #user-support-old or something for that

[ebon pebble]

How do I make the eyeballs separate from my mesh so I can do eye tracking?

If you have an answer please @ me so I can see it. Im at work.

[latent charm]

@ebon pebble The eyes don't need to be separate, just weighted fully to the eye bones only.

[ebon pebble]

Do they need to be spheres because they are half spheres.

[latent charm]

Nope. Half spheres are fine, keeps the polycount down and with the eye tracking there's a max angle they rotate.

[ebon pebble]

Awesome. But how do I place the eye bones well? Because the tutorial I watched said to select the sphere’s center of mass and place it in there. That doesn’t apply in this case.

@latent charm

[latent charm]

Wherever the sphere's center of rotation is, the eye bone root needs to be.

[inland fulcrum]

can any1 tell me how to remove this ?

ye ik but i want to remove the upper chest part completley

because when i try to upload it

it says that is missing

[plush kite]

Does renaming the texture break the mesh?

[alpine bluff]

Question, anyone know a good method to fix normals? The models I have have some of the normals flipped and it's quite a pain to go through it by hand to change them all back.

[soft sandal]

Is there a way to remove a shape key but keep the current model so it doesnt revert back to "standard" in blender

nvm i found a way 😃

[willow island]

hi

i just desimated and readyed myavatar

how/where do i add the toon shader

[ebon pebble]

Do you have the shader imported yet?

If yes, just change the materials.

[languid elm]

Hello

[karmic flare]

Does anyone here using 3dsmax? How do you use shape key like in Blender?

[ebon pebble]

@latent charm How do I associate the eye part of the mesh with the bone?

[coral imp]

so if normals are facing outwards, i shouldnt be able to see the faces from the inside yeah?

theyre not double sided

but im still seeing the model from the inside?

[coral imp]

oh it doesnt work that way

[ebon pebble]

How do I save part of my mesh as a vertex group and pair it with a bone?

[valid sentinel]

@karmic flare 3DSmax calls them "Morpher" modifier and "Morph Flexes"

The modifier works by choosing a named morph slot and then picking the mesh that has the modified mesh

[languid elm]

ok nvm no one wants to help

[valid sentinel]

A long time ago i made a morph flex set for boomer for L4D and this is what the set looked like. The main mesh picks it http://the303.org/imaeg/boomerflexes.jpg

[karmic flare]

ah ok i think ive seen some tuts about that but isn't too sure if it would work with mmd models

that looks hilarious hhaaha

gj btw

[valid sentinel]

I think you can import MMD to max but i forget the pulgin you use. It automatically builds the *existing morph modifier set, ive seen some people have it done

[karmic flare]

hmm i also wanted to know how do you use morph with 2d texture similar to this tut here with blender https://youtu.be/ZB2aXKkwXuA

[valid sentinel]

isnt that just clipping though?

[karmic flare]

i've tried it with an xps model that has different meshes expression but morph doesn't pick up 2d meshes

[valid sentinel]

wierd. a mesh is a mesh so it shouldnt be an issue

[karmic flare]

yea i have hard time figure that out

[valid sentinel]

unless you modified one of them. Morph/Flex/Shapekeys all have to have the SAME amound of verticies and if you remove/weld any of them it refuses to pick

so if you add something it has to be added to the base and all your other targets iirc; but its been a long time since ive done this

[karmic flare]

im sure i haven't modifed any of the meshes as far as rename them

also i know that 3ds max port with CAT does it have same function with the plugin in Blender?

oh i think i might figure this out how to pick up the mesh with morpher

[earnest sigil]

I tried to do that but with the eyes on my model but it just still colors the whole eye

[spiral sigil]

Can someone help me with a problem I have in Unity?

A 3D character model I imported to Unity from Blender doesn't have a face but all other textures are there

But the face was visible in Blender

[karmic flare]

Your texture is transparent change it to opaque

[runic barn]

i have an issue with one of my textures in unity for a model im working on

[spiral sigil]

Idk if there is a texture for the model's face..

[runic barn]

there is a menu in blender where you can check what texture is assigned to what

i had an issue with a missing texture, so i had to basically create another

using an older version of the model im using, i then assigned that to the newer one

this is what the texture is doing in unity, but it doesnt do this in blender nor any other 3d viewing app i have

idk how to get around this

[spiral sigil]

I still don't know how to find the face texture..

Sorry I just started today.

[runic barn]

check your folder where all the textures are

and look for one that looks like it would go on the face

[spiral sigil]

It only has 2 texture tga files but neither of them have a face on it

But the face appears in blender

[runic barn]

i had a simmilar problem with the model im using, the eyes had no texture

it was showing in blender

but in your case idk

[heady grove]

can someone explain to me how to get my model from blender into unity?

[runic barn]

export the model into a FBX file

from there create this folder https://puu.sh/yQpNo.png

put all relevant texture image files in there

and then put the model into unity

make sure you put the textures in BEFORE adding the model

[heady grove]

ah ok

the model is imported but how do i make it use the textures?

[runic barn]

it should pull all textures from the folder

you may see something like this https://puu.sh/yQpUB.png

[heady grove]

yes

let me try the process again and see if itll work

[runic barn]

try clearing out all model related files

[heady grove]

which files would those be

[runic barn]

textures and materials

take out the model itself as well

[heady grove]

so just remove everything but the srcsdk folder?

[runic barn]

yes

you have to re import the model and its textures

create the texture folder first

[heady grove]

alright

[runic barn]

and then add the model

[heady grove]

how should i import the textures, one by one, or copy and past them using file explorer

[runic barn]

select everything fromt the folder and add it into the unity texture folder

[heady grove]

ok did that

[runic barn]

then add the model into unity

[heady grove]

alright now how do i view the model itself

do i drag and drop it from teh assets folder?

[runic barn]

double click it

[heady grove]

that just tried to open it in paint3d

[runic barn]

where did you put the model

[heady grove]

i imported it into unity

[karmic flare]

lol are you guys still trying to get the texture working

[heady grove]

yeah

dont know why its not working

[runic barn]

i dont know either

[karmic flare]

Do you see the texture in blender? have you try to apply it manually in Unity

[heady grove]

yea i see them in blender

and i dont know how to apply them in unity

im only just learning this stuff

[karmic flare]

click on your model in unity after you place it in the Hierarchy

[runic barn]

try dragging the model from the unity assets into the screen

[karmic flare]

Do you see the texture menu pop up in Inspector tab?

[heady grove]

no

[karmic flare]

ok in your Hierarchy tab, click on the mesh

now do you see the texture menu in Inspector tab?

[heady grove]

this is all i see

[karmic flare]

show me the whole screenshot of your unity

[karmic flare]

these are the meshes click on them

[heady grove]

alright in the inspector i see nothing for textures

[karmic flare]

These are your texture

click on each one and add the texture manually

IF your shader is on Standard then you should add the texture in Albedo

alright i g2g good luck with the rest

[heady grove]

finally got that figured out

[runic barn]

congrats

[heady grove]

this tutorial is talking about the vrc avatar descriptor

[runic barn]

that is where you set your viewpoint

[heady grove]

editing the y z values in the inspector bar doesnt seem to make it move

[runic barn]

you need to look for a small white dot

get those to eye level

[heady grove]

that dot is small as hell

should the dot be in the center of the head or out between the eyes

[runic barn]

between the eyes

[heady grove]

for a helmet you think this is far enough out?

[runic barn]

that is good

[heady grove]

alright

where do i go to chose the amination type to set it to humanoid?

[runic barn]

click on your model in this menu https://puu.sh/yQsL9.png

the inspector will then show this https://puu.sh/yQsMb.png

[heady grove]

do i need to reset the viewpoint after doing this?

or no?

[final brook]

can anyone send me a guide or video link on how to do this

[heady grove]

not sure how i go about fixing these problems

[dark moss]

I've got a question. So I decimated a model to get it under 20k tris, but later on I found out I created some odd holes and incorrect uvs in certain parts where I must have been overly aggressive with it. Are there any tutorials on fixing these issues in Blender? I haven't touched anything uv related in years.

[native girder]

@heady grove Adjust your model size with transform. Also you have slots in your rig that aren't mapped

[heady grove]

ive adjusted the size down to .1 and it still says its too tall

[native girder]

Try 0.01

I usually have my models imported from blender at 0.08

For all fields

[heady grove]

now it says its short lol

[native girder]

XD

[heady grove]

well now i gotta fix the spine some how

which i have no idea how to do

oh i see which parts arent mapped

but the rig did have those parts set

k i fixed it

[raw panther]

hey could someone tell me how i can separate these two things? when i go on cats and press separate by mesh it doesnt do anything

[native girder]

It's prolly one mesh then. Try https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/6184/splitting-pieces-of-a-mesh-into-a-new-object

[raw panther]

i cant select it

oh i got it

[dark moss]

Oh, I think I understand my issue. It wasn't the uvs, decimate was collapsing certain things that used to be convex to be flatter, causing the skin below to start popping out through the clothes, so it looked like I was having UV problems, where it actually was a mesh problem.

[languid elm]

yo steve

@raw panther

[final brook]

alright so i was watching this guys video on how to decimate models and he says he doesnt decimate faces, legs, or arms since the way there were meshed helps with the joints and all that bending and so and so can anyone tell he if thats a super big deal or if its alright to decimate then a little?

[spiral sigil]

Modifying an MMD to look good in blender is an awesome project to learn Blender.

[native girder]

@final brook You shouldn't decimate if you want eye or mouth movements.

Not sure about joints and such.

see on the legs and how theres bleeding

[tepid fossil]

Maybe a different angle would help?

Wait

I see it now, the white stuff

Maybe try hiding the pants and see if you can delete the boxers underneath

[simple vine]

Oh i got the same thing today

i tried getting a mmd model to work for the first time

when I put it in blender that white stuff was hidden

i pressed alt h to unhide stuff because usually models like these have a few extra weird thingys on them

then that shit appeared

i deleted it

did not work, got t posed in game

still no idea what it is

i suck :^)

I always use the sample VR chat skeleton, even on pre-rigged models, just to be sure unity wont fuck things up such as names and such

works, sometimes, but is it normal? Does anyone else do this? lol

[wheat marlin]

Anyone here make avi's / texture them ? I'm willing to pay, it wont be anything overly challenging

[wispy totem]

Quick question. I grabbed the blue man test figure recently and was giving it a look over. I didn't notice any LOD meshes. Is part of the packaging process done by the unity plugin autocreation of lod's or is that left up to users to sort out / most people are not using lod's

[waxen nest]

@spiral sigil if it wont let you select it just manually do it with tab, using c to select the verticies and deleting them

Hello somebody meet already this problem ?

[glad niche]

does anyone know how to import occlusion maps into unity properly?

To the right is what they're supposed to look like

but in unity they're all black

[waxen nest]

try applying it to a material and see if its pure black on the model

[glad niche]

yeah it's pure black

[waxen nest]

on the model?

[glad niche]

without occlusion texture applied

with occlusion applied

all it's doing is making it darker when it should remove those black parts I'd assume

[waxen nest]

supposed to make things dark based on lighting

[glad niche]

yeah but it's making everything dark equally looks like

I'm probably just misunderstanding how to do it completely

[waxen nest]

dont know of a way to fix the occulsion mapping but without it it looks fine

[glad niche]

It's just that it should look like this:

which looks 100x better

I'd still need to apply a shader to color it too but that should be easy

anyone knows why my textures isnt apply to my model?

my texture shows perfectly in blender and pmxeditor

[toxic forge]

@glad niche occlusion is the ambient occlusion map

which is used to fake lighting

your maps are not occlusion, they are alphas for the diffuse texture

[glad niche]

oooooooooooooh

yeah that works, thanks

Hi, im needing to resize a texture making it smaller but i have no idea how to do this, is there anywhere that explains it?

[serene matrix]

can anyone help me with something? I made my first model in blender, but when i upload it to mixamo it loses 90% of the color, any ideas?

[nocturne marlin]

is there a way to merge two armature into one? https://gyazo.com/8343390afe23d310a8c6c9e8551c918e

[main blaze]

@nocturne marlin i think if you select both amrature and press ctrl+j it puts them into 1 thats what i did anyway

[civic tartan]

@shrewd marten you have to translate your materials and textures before exporting...

[shrewd marten]

oh i just need to change to fbx instead of obj and it works

thx though

[civic tartan]

Ohhh no problem 😁

[nocturne marlin]

@main blaze thanks bud worked like a charm

[quasi gale]

anyone experienced with rigging and changing the parameters for what bone effects what skin ? I've done it before but cant for the life of me remember how i did it.

[arctic wyvern]

do you guys know how to remove the camera attatched to my head in unity?

[sonic nimbus]

@arctic wyvern Search for camera in the hierarchy and delete them.

[arctic wyvern]

ah, easy fix, i deleted the camera componets off the head and eyes. cool, thanks

[glad quarry]

Is anyone else unable to install Cat's tools for blender?

[serene matrix]

anyone mind answering a question for me?

[toxic forge]

easier to ask your question right away and hope somebody responds instead of asking if you can ask your question

[umbral cove]

Anyone got an idea of how to fix these thumb bones. They work fine in Blender pose mode, but unity animation mode breaks them like above

[lilac niche]

I have an avatar I'd like to have made and implemented into VRchat, I was given an original price of 1500-2000 dollars, I'd like to know if anyone could assist me with it for less. I do not have anything prepared for the creation

[simple vine]

Yikes

that looks complicated

Where is it from? @lilac niche

[wicked schooner]

I did it

[simple vine]

did wat :v

[mild briar]

@simple vine I think his model is from For Honor

[simple vine]

Yeah it looks like it, never played it though

Isn't there a way to take the model from the game?

And edit it to reduce the poly count?

Could work :v

[wicked schooner]

I modelled this weasel

took me a few days

[simple vine]

@wicked schooner oh

Looks nice! congrats ',:^)

[agile dust]

Im trying to make mouth visemes for a bear model. When I join all meshes my textures don't work. Do I have to manually skin it or is there a workaround?

[simple vine]

@agile dust Blender?

[agile dust]

@simple vine yeah

[simple vine]

Is that the method that uses shape keys or bones?

:v

[agile dust]

I'm using the cat plugin. join all meshes

[simple vine]

don't know that plugin

I just joined :x

[agile dust]

but the textures I have are for the separate meshes. when they are fused there needs to be one texture for the entire mesh I assume.. hmmm...

[simple vine]

can you show us a print?

the only model I've ever done on blender didn't even use textures, just solid materials, so I don't know what might be going on ;-; but I'll try and help if I can

[agile dust]

Don't worry about it. I'm probably missing some step or something. There has to be a workaround.

[simple vine]

Whats happening? The texture is messing up when you join meshes?

Might be something with the mapping

[umbral cove]

If someone could take a look at this and let me know how to fix the thumb bones that'd be great. I've spent the last 2 hours on it and can't figure out why the hell the thumbs go crazy but absolutely everything else is fine

[neat stump]

can I have some help on my model

the arms and feet are screwed up

[simple vine]

@umbral cove I'll take a peek

[mild briar]

l o n g f e e t

[umbral cove]

thanks >.<

[simple vine]

@umbral cove Is this how it looks in your file? Just making sure I imported it correctly

[flint arch]

can anyone share dynamic bone?

[agile dust]

Yay I found out. I had to name all the UV maps the same name and after the mesh joining the textures will work!

[umbral cove]

@simple vine yea

[simple vine]

Well, it seems alright to me '-' is there something wrong with it in game?

[umbral cove]

thats how it looked prior to me mucking around and attempting to fix it at least

[simple vine]

moving it to match the mesh could help

or was it not working even with the bone in the right position?

[umbral cove]

thats what it looks like in the unity rigger

[simple vine]

Hmm it looks different than in blender

[umbral cove]

yup D:

when i loaded it into mixamo, its animations all showed the thumb just fine

but going into animations into unity, all borked
