I just want a "squiggly" effect on the white line inside the eyes, everything else unchanged

dark moss Dec 31, 2017, 1:17 AM

Sometimes I've had to set a rendering mode other than opaque for eyes @arctic wyvern try that maybe

yeah, i set them to fade and it looks great, thanks!

#

Could anyone give me tips on MMD -> Blender -> Unity?

#

When I import a mmd model that's pre-rigged, should I delete the armature it comes with and replace it with VRchat's default one or no?

pls heple

What's the deal if a material in blender has the same texture multiple times?

quasi cobalt Dec 31, 2017, 11:11 AM

#

@solar mauve can you explain that in the context of your project? kind of hard to tell what you mean exactly.

solar mauve Dec 31, 2017, 11:12 AM

#

I just notice sometimes when I select a material in blender

#

And go to the textures tab

#

I see multiple occurrences of the same texture

quasi cobalt Dec 31, 2017, 11:12 AM

#

@tough blade you can try dampening the movement, thats usually what people do for that

solar mauve Dec 31, 2017, 11:12 AM

#

📎 unknown.png

#

And it seems like sometimes one is actually being rendered on the models (I checked that by unchecking each one)

#

And at other materials it seems to be divided

#

I'm just wondering why there's multiple and not just a single reference/link

quasi cobalt Dec 31, 2017, 11:17 AM

#

@solar mauve im not sure, is it causing a problem?

solar mauve Dec 31, 2017, 11:17 AM

#

Not really

#

Just curious

#

@quasi cobalt do you have experience with texture atlas?

quasi cobalt Dec 31, 2017, 11:19 AM

#

@solar mauve i've heard of it but on my models, i have two so maybe one of those is extra?

tough blade Dec 31, 2017, 11:21 AM

#

@quasi cobalt Ok I haven't messed with dampen yet hope this helps thank you. any idea what most ppl set it to??

#

cause it's more so her legs are going into the dress not the other way. need the dress to follow the legs movement more i think

quasi cobalt Dec 31, 2017, 11:25 AM

#

@tough blade I would play with the dampening, you can actually preview it live in unity

#

but dampening would make the dress move more slowly out of the way of colliders

quasi cobalt Dec 31, 2017, 11:44 AM

#

@rocky fossil yeah at 20:50 he mentions how decimating the hands may mess up how the joints look so maybe not. I just know they have a lot of polys

#

also check 25:45, good place to cut out a lot without even decimating

#

anyways, gl yall, guten night

solar mauve Dec 31, 2017, 11:47 AM

#

o/

spiral sigil Dec 31, 2017, 11:48 AM

#

The reason decimating hands normally isn't advised is because it removes tris and quads from the finger joints that are necessary for bending. Same reason with elbows, knees and so on. You can still decimate it, you just need to find the right ratio where you still have enough tris and quads to bend the body without making it look fucked up.

#

Or you can do it thoroughly manually and make sure it's done proper.

tough blade Dec 31, 2017, 12:04 PM

#

@quasi cobalt Ok, so just rotate it til it doesn't poke out?

I seem to be doing something wrong with texture atlassing

#

I just now (and once more before) created a texture atlas in blender and then exported the new model including the new texture to unity

#

In unity the texture is all fucked up however

by extra are you saying there's just too many?

because depending on the design of the character, sometimes more is needed

dense drift Dec 31, 2017, 8:50 PM

The VRChat SDK says I have 34569 Polygons, and it needs less than 20k

spiral sigil Dec 31, 2017, 8:50 PM

well you're gonna need a program capable of modeling like Maya or Max, and you'll have to go in and remove edge loops

whole cipher Dec 31, 2017, 9:35 PM

#

Does anyone know why Blender stops responding when I try to separate some meshes by material? It has happened with two of the five models I've worked with.

#

Also, if there isn't a fix, how could I decimate the model without separating by material?

latent charm Dec 31, 2017, 9:46 PM

#

@whole cipher You'll have better luck separating by loose parts, since there's probably less than how many materials.
If not, manually separate the model up a bit into separate objects, then separate those one by one.

whole cipher Dec 31, 2017, 9:50 PM

#

Thanks for the help. Any reason for that happening though? I don't believe it is my computer

latent charm Dec 31, 2017, 9:59 PM

#

I think it's just a combination of how blender splits things up based on those criteria and how many goddamn materials some models use.

#

I can get a screen of that too if needed

lapis needle Dec 31, 2017, 11:35 PM

#

It might be that your model came with a texture mask. Its probably a black texture

glass venture Dec 31, 2017, 11:36 PM

#

Is that a manual removal type thing?

#

Like photoshop

lapis needle Dec 31, 2017, 11:37 PM

#

If it was made this way the model whould have came with some form of method of removing the parts that are ment ot be transparent. If you dont have this texture mask what you can do is use gimp to make these white parts transparent.

The second to last one looks like the entire model

#

But it doesn't look like it's rigged.

#

Do you know if it has bones?

warm coyote Jan 1, 2018, 3:30 AM

#

dont think so

#

think it was just striaght ripped from pokemon games

edgy remnant Jan 1, 2018, 3:31 AM

#

Ah. You'll need to give it bones in blender.

#

Check youtube for tutorials on that.

warm coyote Jan 1, 2018, 3:31 AM

#

ill give it a shot

#

thnx m8

edgy remnant Jan 1, 2018, 3:31 AM

Or there might be a boned up model on deiviant art.

#

No problem.

warm coyote Jan 1, 2018, 3:32 AM

#

got a bunch of these files so wna figure out how to fix em

edgy remnant Jan 1, 2018, 3:33 AM

#

From The Modeler's Resource?

#

Those models don't have bones. Found that out the hard way when trying to port a Persona Q model.

warm coyote Jan 1, 2018, 3:35 AM

#

got a few from deviant art and a few from some asian site

edgy remnant Jan 1, 2018, 3:35 AM

#

Hmm. Not sure on those.

warm coyote Jan 1, 2018, 3:35 AM

#

tried tossing one of em into blender and it doesnt seem to be able to find any of the files xD

#

i think i mscrewed

edgy remnant Jan 1, 2018, 3:36 AM

#

Is it a rar file?

#

You might need winrar to extract it.

warm coyote Jan 1, 2018, 3:36 AM

#

its the extracted file

#

i think there might be some black magic voodoo stuff going on man ;-;

edgy remnant Jan 1, 2018, 3:36 AM

yeah

#

they all are

edgy remnant Jan 1, 2018, 3:39 AM

#

If it doesn't come with textures, you might need winrar to extract it.

#

Not totally sure.

#

Gonna be honest, I know a lot of this from tutorials and tutorials only.

I've run into my own roadblocks with models.

iv been looking around

but havent rly found a tutorial to help me yet

edgy remnant Jan 1, 2018, 3:42 AM

#

Try using winrar with it

#

Buzzswole might be a slight challenge to bone due to how many legs it has.

#

Or you can try looking for a miku miku dance version of the the thing.

#

Blender has a plugin for it

#

And the models tend to come pre rigged.

warm coyote Jan 1, 2018, 3:43 AM

#

yeah

i guess i might have to just try that

Managed to find her Q model for mmd

#

Haven't quite figured out how to edit her expressions though. They used sprites rather than actual bones.

agile dust Jan 1, 2018, 3:56 AM

#

You want her expressions to animate in general? or only when you talk?

kind nova Jan 1, 2018, 3:56 AM

#

Hello guys, i have a problem.... i try countless of times uploading a character to vrchat but un unity preview never appear the edit for the model

#

Just keep in "play" mode and does nothing, anyone knows what happen?

agile dust Jan 1, 2018, 3:57 AM

#

make sure you have the corrent unity version and vrchat sdk version

edgy remnant Jan 1, 2018, 3:57 AM

#

I've seen people use events to change facial expersions. And the sprites defult to her having a sort of sad experssion.

kind nova Jan 1, 2018, 3:58 AM

I have correct unity and sdk ver

#

I follow all the steps in the tutorials page, i still dont know whats wrong

you saved your project right? if yes then try restarting unity and try again. hmm...

It dosent work :(

#

By the way Ryan is on new year stream on youtube

edgy remnant Jan 1, 2018, 4:12 AM

#

Anyone happen to know how to cycle through sprite experssions? This is the only one that shows up when I load her in.

#

📎 unknown.png

#

If I try loading it with only the base experssion, her face ends up completely white

#

Strangely enough, she has her default experession in Blender, but not Unity.

Ah. I'm having a similar problem.

#

What are you tryin to do?

stray tartan Jan 1, 2018, 4:21 AM

#

I have a prety complex model and I'm weight painting atm

#

Unfortunately, some of the pieces of the head are stuck in the body

#

But without seeing the textures I can't make out which they are

edgy remnant Jan 1, 2018, 4:22 AM

#

Hmm. Deleting each piece and testing it would be tedious, but might work.

stray tartan Jan 1, 2018, 4:22 AM

#

What do you mean by deleting ?

edgy remnant Jan 1, 2018, 4:23 AM

#

Or possibly cutting the parts that are stuck in the body.

kind nova Jan 1, 2018, 4:24 AM

And i cant still upload a model

stray tartan Jan 1, 2018, 4:28 AM

I'm gonna do it manually

Ok manually painting is way better rofl

thorny spear Jan 1, 2018, 4:59 AM

So I am in Unity and my model has two problems...
First one is my model is horizontal until the skeleton is selected
Second is it is HUGE!
Any idea how to fix?

Like all of my models are doing it for some reason.

Both in Blender and Unity

stray tartan Jan 1, 2018, 5:15 AM

Did you reset the rotation in blender ?

#

For all your meshes

#

After importing them

#

And did you then apply rotation and scale ?

safe quiver Jan 1, 2018, 5:21 AM

#

anyody know how to fix a transparent mesh in unity if its not transparent in blender?

stray tartan Jan 1, 2018, 5:21 AM

#

Yus

#

I had problems with this myself

#

You need to invert the normals

#

Or apply them out or in

safe quiver Jan 1, 2018, 5:22 AM

#

what are the normals

stray tartan Jan 1, 2018, 5:22 AM

#

Select the mesh

#

go into edit mode

#

press mesh next to edit mode

#

then go to normals

Then click flip normals

how do i invert

stray tartan Jan 1, 2018, 5:27 AM

#

There are 2 parts

#

Right ?

#

One of them works fine

#

Which is the main body

#

and the other is something else

safe quiver Jan 1, 2018, 5:28 AM

#

is it the 2 things on top?

#

top right

#

ones a texture

#

and ones a material

stray tartan Jan 1, 2018, 5:29 AM

Could take a better screenshot of the transparent part ?

Coz I can't actually see what part is transparent

stray tartan Jan 1, 2018, 5:36 AM

#

Sure

thorny spear Jan 1, 2018, 5:38 AM

#

@stray tartan Thank you for the reply, I am about to check the rotation and I forgot to do the scale part lol....

#

....I forgot how to reset rotation, don't you just have to press Alt+R?

stray tartan Jan 1, 2018, 5:49 AM

#

Yes

#

Select what you want to reset

#

then press alt + R

#

Often when you import obj waveforms, the rotation is at a 90 or -90 degrees angle

#

Which of course results in your export being in an angle

thorny spear Jan 1, 2018, 5:55 AM

#

Odd, I press Alt+R and it doesn't reset, I do it on reference and skeleton and no changes occure. I'll google maybe I am doing something wrong

#

So the animations work fine on it, I tried Mixamo. It only makes my character horizontal when idle

#

Should I post a screenshot to show the problem? Maybe someone will know it if they see it?

thorny spear Jan 1, 2018, 6:23 AM

#

Aha I got it!
If you are porting the model from Gmod you need to get rid of the ragdoll pose completely then press W and "Clear user transforms (All)"

#

Do you know what's wrong.

#

@spiral sigil Select your model and your skeleton and hit ctrl + P and select automatic weights.

spiral sigil Jan 1, 2018, 5:45 PM

#

i tried to do that but it says: loop in parenting and nothing happens 😦

toxic forge Jan 1, 2018, 5:53 PM

#

you can parent a parent to its child

#

you are supposed to move the bones in pose mode

#

also what's with the bones underneath your character's arms?

spiral sigil Jan 1, 2018, 5:56 PM

#

those bones are for the scarf movement, i still need to fix those, i moved the scarf mesh but the bones stayed the same... i still cannot fix the bone issue 😦 i hope tupper or someone will make a full lenght video on armatures

#

parents and children and stuff confuses me RIP

#

can i find a working armature from another avatar fully rigged correctly and slap it on my mesh?

#

i got it working once, but it was buggy on the fingers 😦 it's too hard for me i never used blender before. it took me 3 days to understand decimation and atlas optimization

stray tartan Jan 1, 2018, 6:43 PM

#

Btw what's up with the texture on the shirt?

#

Is it supposed to be like that ?

#

Also, when you weight paint, and you move a join up, you just select the bone and weight paint the stretched out parts to the correct bone

spiral sigil Jan 1, 2018, 6:50 PM

#

yes it's a checkerboard pattern, i don't really understand what are you saying with bones and weight XD i am using blender from less than a week 😦 i am now trying to use a different armature from another model on my the mesh in the picture

@formal perch prolly got too many faces atm you can try reducing your loops with a quick trick of selecting every other on this technique, then once selected dissolve those edges https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/3487/select-every-other-face-loop

Select every other face loop

How can I select every other edge loop. In this example its not too bad to do it manually but it other cases it might be. How can I easily select alternating face loops?

Oh yeah, it was the unapplied modifier, you're right

#

But well, that's annoying

If I'm decimating and it creates gaps here and there

#

So.... The feet are backwards on my model, anyone else have this problem or HAD this problem? If so how did you fix?

#

And when I say they are backwards I mean when I go into "Build and Publish" His ankels are twisted and his feet are backwards.

can anyone give me some help. im trying to export my modle from blender into unity but i keep loseing the texture somewhere and i dont know why

gilded canopy Jan 2, 2018, 12:51 AM

#

You have to reapply the texture in unity

#

Fbx files are model files, they don't include textures

sacred harness Jan 2, 2018, 12:53 AM

#

but if there is like an individual texture for a part of a modle how do i get that to work

gilded canopy Jan 2, 2018, 12:54 AM

#

If you have multiple materials on one model, you will have to apply multiple textures to that one model

#

Idealy you should only have one material for pretty much the entire base mesh btw

rich lagoon Jan 2, 2018, 1:02 AM

#

Make sure you have the actual texture saved

Does anybody know if substance painter is good for doing the textures for the playermodels?

last hinge Jan 2, 2018, 2:57 AM

#

Its a really solid pro tool

#

I use it at work, mostly for environments and such but there's a few lookdev character guys I work with who use it for their stuff.

#

Their pricing model makes it super affordable.. the smaller you are the cheaper it gets epsecially if you are just a solo guy doing stuff on the side.

visual eagle Jan 2, 2018, 3:03 AM

#

There's a trial thing, and I'm in a game dev program at university so I can get a student license for it later on.

last hinge Jan 2, 2018, 3:04 AM

#

That's the way to go

#

You can get most of the software for cheap or free if you are enrolled in school.. autodesk basically gives you a 3 year licence for everything fro Maya to 3DS to CAD software and Inventor, etc through an education account.

rich lagoon Jan 2, 2018, 3:04 AM

#

I'd use substance painter anytime I could if I could get it lol

last hinge Jan 2, 2018, 3:05 AM

#

you don't even have to go full time, I went to a 3d printing/Cad/cam class for a few weekends and got a autodesk educational account.

rich lagoon Jan 2, 2018, 3:05 AM

#

@last hinge You do environmental work?

last hinge Jan 2, 2018, 3:05 AM

#

I'm primarly a VFX artist so I tend to blow shit up a lot.. usually large scale stuff.

rich lagoon Jan 2, 2018, 3:06 AM

#

Ah lol

#

That's pretty cool... I'm getting into modeling.. Programming got boring so I gotta learn new things

last hinge Jan 2, 2018, 3:08 AM

yeah, some basic programming is helpful.. if you can script stuff.. most rigging on the high end these days are script generated

visual eagle Jan 2, 2018, 3:09 AM

I'm pretty sure I actually get a substance painter license through the school next year, but I don't feel like waiting that long is a good idea if I wanna use it now. 😛

Guys after i get the obj model how do i transfer it to pmd or pmx?

hybrid bramble Jan 2, 2018, 3:49 AM

#

If you just need to move on to animation and popping it through unity, push your OBJ through Mixamo, otherwise, there's a plugin for blender that'll allow you to import the OBJ

clear prism Jan 2, 2018, 3:51 AM

#

i know how to import the obj to blender

#

the problem is converting that obj into a pmx

#

and then use cats for the bones

hybrid bramble Jan 2, 2018, 3:52 AM

you should be able to export with the mmd plugin that cats needs to function

@hidden briar go into edit mode deselect everything (have nothing selected) down by the tab that you change to edit mode, object mode etc.. click "select", click "all by trait", click "interior faces"

#

@austere field select all of your mesh then "W" and then push remove doubles. This should join all duplicate vertices consdiering you didnt move it around too much. If that doesnt work try "mesh", "clean up", and then "delete loose"

@misty canyon are you using the knuckles character?

And when you do that, you might end up unwrapping that model again and since you got textures already done to it, I wouldn't bother, if your tri count is good then its fine

It's best for performanve to copy it and flip the faces

OK. Then I'll have to use decimate for the inner layer, I think it will suffice. I don't like the Idea of adding 1k tris to the model

Yeah, just put the texture in the albedo slot on the material in unity.

Drag the UV texture into the albedo area on the material

you might have to import the UV image though first

@scenic robin to fix this when configuring bones [AKA Rigging]
http://puu.sh/ySQXd/46fb163213.png
change your spine02 to spine03
or in yourcase it might be changing Spine01 to Spine02

the objective is to make the Top part of spine connect to shoulders and neck region so your Rig works how it should

^this is what you should have

Hello, I am in need of assistance on Blender.

Make it short - I'm having problems putting on Materials on a model. I do, however, have it Texturized --- If that makes any sense.(edited)
I do have the TGA/PNG files for the materials, but everytime I apply them they turn out wonky.

I have access to the UV maps of the models, but I lack the knowledge to apply/use them correctly. So I only manage to, with strenous and probably fruitless effort, to apply textures to the models. Applying it in Unity did not port them. And again, applying the PNG/TGA Images as the Materials makes the models quite wonky.

Oh shit

Nevermind - I manage to solve it.

If you go into material settings, there should be a "Shadows" slider that is set to 0.4 by default (Cubed's shaders). For standard shaders, no idea.

I also found that the defautlt shader albedo is a grey color and putting it to white makes it slightly brighter. Also the "Mobile" shader i found is way brighter than the standard which ive used

hey, what's the best technique to make anime hair? I've seen a pretty neat one wth Bezier curves, it looks great but the problem is that 1 little flock of hair is approx 1k tris and it would require using at least a few dozen of them so it doesn't seem optimal for VRChat purposes

#

@amber token If you mean into blender then just use Import -> Wavefront ( .obj)

#

@amber token and if you want to get it into unity you can import it into blender first, and save it as .blender file. Unity works with .blender files just fine, no idea about .obj

#

Going back to the hair I tried just making vertices and moving each and individual vert to an appropriate location but it seems to be sooooo tedious and the outcome isn't that great

torn plover Jan 2, 2018, 11:46 PM

#

@spiral sigil you can still use that technique and you can reduce the amount of loops by changing your Resolution - Preview U on your object and on the source and destination splines

amber token Jan 2, 2018, 11:47 PM

#

@spiral sigil yeah but need to creat a rig for models without a rig.. and that is not that easy.. so yeah. .mmd files has already a bidy rig.

#

see you reduce for both and you have much less loops and poly. One thing you may have to do is when converting the final object is to weld the verts and use shading smooth to fix the faces shading

#

using reduced resolution/edge segements you can have hair locks that are only a handful of poly compared to the default values which are massive density

Today I had to decrease poly count of some pair of shoes from ~40k to below 1k so I can use them on my model.

lapis needle Jan 3, 2018, 11:26 AM

#

@deft fern You would model it obvously

#

If your unsure how to start I would recomend small. Try and do the face first. If you cant get that right try to model something easier

#

With alot of people here that barely know what they are doing I would recomend you dont even try and make some of this really complex stuff you want. Instead I would recomend you try and make something simple a couple times over so you get the hang of the processes. Such as making an apple. Its pretty simple you would think but actaully to get the shape right it takes alot of paying attention to the details. The stem, the upper core split, the bottom split, the curveture, the leaf. Things like that you can practice on to try and get a "groove" of the process. You would be suprized how many come to me asking how the hell do you make this stuff in 2 days? Well I have an extremly well thought out process of how I go about it

#

I first get as many refrence images as I possably can find. I can use this to get the scale and shape of things while keeping accurate to the orginal style of the show or anime that Im trying to imitate. The most important refrences you will find are straight side refrences as they will give you the depth of very crucial things. How big is this chest in relation to the back? How far does this nose poke out in relation to the ears? How far do the ears come back? How thick are the arms in relation to the legs? Are my hands too small? Are the eye shapes correct?

#

The texturing is very VERY important to weither your model looks good in actuality as well. You can have a terrible model that actaully looks quite good if you can texture it well enough. Its all about patience. Lots and lots of it. Ill even sometimes take a half hour staring at the face of a model checking for little descripinies in the face. Does the smile line come out too wide? Are the lips too big? Did I get too lazy with the topolgy in the nose?

#

You have to pay attention to how you spread out your polys as well. You cant be afraid to use as many as you need to try and get a good look. Because with blender you can easily just decimate it down to about 8,000 to 15,000 as needed. Of cource the max is 20,000 but you really should aim for about 10,000 for the sanity of vrchat's future performance. 500 people with 19,876 polys per avatar in one room is quite catastrophic. 20,000 is actually considier low poly in todays standards and it acutally doesnt affect perfermance all that much. In face the only thing that really does is the layers you apply to these avatars. Multiple materials layerd on top of one character basicacly makes it so that all those polys have to be rendered each time. 19,879 polys becomes the equal of about 99,396 with just 5 materials. Please limit your self to 2 at max if possable. Having a material for each color of a part of a model just aint right man.

#

But rememver to keep a smile on your face if you enjoy this stuff. peace

formal perch Jan 3, 2018, 11:53 AM

I mean you made it sound easy as if modeling a character is a step by step process, considering how most people here never done 3D, its jot gonna be as easy.
If you really want to model a character you'll probably have to sit through shit tons of modeling/sculpting tutorials to understand what you are doing, cause if by the end of it your model has some errors on it and you don't know how to fix them, well that would be your time wasted. So take your time and really absorb info from the tutorials

Hopefully I am not discouraging, but just want to point that people do this for a living, it's not like 'open blender' > sculpt
