You should join everything that's deforming (the body basically, rigid props and such don't count) into one mesh with ctrl+j

I have a quick question regarding a visual effect I'd like to make. I have a character whose eyes glow, but he wears opaque glasses so they typically aren't seen. Is there a way to make his eyes always render on top of the glasses despite spatial position?
latent charm
Yes, shaders. Pretty sure there's a way to change the render order for an effect like that.

ikd if this is the right play to ask about blender but, is there a way to "lock" vertexs so that they are not affected from the radius of proportional editing?

Hiding them should work (h key)

Oh worth noting is after unhide them with alt+h

Any recommend tutorial for writting custom shader in Unity5 ?
spiral sigil
@bold pebble i think its a question more suitable for development-advanced, but probably you need to be able to program in C# or similar i would guess
bold pebble
Yes I can write some scripts in C# so I'm wondering if I can write one simple animated shader for my model
thanks
latent charm
@bold pebble https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/SL-ShadingLanguage.html
Info on shader languages in Unity.
I don't believe you can include any C# stuff though, due to vrchat's scripting limitations.
royal violet
@latent charm do you know if unity accepts xml models
latent charm
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/HOWTO-importObject.html
If it does it'd say so here, probably.

i was gonna try and use some rbxm files
but ill have to convert them firs

Convert models is such a process even with A tutorial. fml

What model are your converting
meager token
at first a pmd
But im gonna scrap it
cause the scalling is too high
I dont even find models to actually worth with
that alone is vexing enough
Now im at the point of startin from square one and just creating a model.

Pmd is mmd model

would it be easier to just start from mmd then convert from there?

raven ridge
What is this and can i change it into a mesh?
rich lagoon
🤔
raven ridge
like that's the model but for some reason that little bit isn't mesh
rich lagoon
It'd probably be best to teach them, not to do it for them
That way they know how to fix it next time
raven ridge
is fbx file fine?
rich lagoon
@raven ridge Go into edit mode, select all of the meshes and do ctrl + J
you can select everything by pressing A twice
that'll combine everything into 1 mesh
royal violet
Jokes are supposed to be nice..
rich lagoon
What do you mean it's not a mesh
@raven ridge Click that and click object mode
Then click A twice
and do ctrl + J
rich lagoon
Np
royal violet
also tanner

Yep
royal violet
Ive made a lot of progress on modelling side of tjings
royal violet
Im working on a head for a model i ripped
Because it didnt have the head for some reason
wanna see
rich lagoon
Lol
raven ridge
the reason i said it's not a mesh is cause it wasnt selectable in edit mode so i didn't know what was up
royal violet
I had to go ingame and take screenshots to model it from
rich lagoon
The reason it wasn't showing was because it was hidden
you could do alt + H to unhide everything
in object mode
Cool @royal violet Sounds like you're making good progress
royal violet
Yeah, just having a bit of trouble with her forehead eye area
sand dirge
Huh, this Mirror modifier just suddenly doesn't show anything on the other side of the axis
Actually it does do something but right atop the object
and it's not anywhere near X axis
raven ridge
any ideas how i can fix this?
rich lagoon
The meshes aren't connected together
you're going to have to merge the verticies in blender
rich lagoon
Lol

Don't sculpt
obtuse light
what should i use?
obtuse light
yes
rich lagoon
Go into edit mode, select the verticies and press X -> delete verticies
Numbered of what you should do
How to go into edit mode
obtuse light
yeah but thats connected to everything and when i delete all of it is gone
wait nvm
i got it
rich lagoon
So select 1 verticy

thanks mang
rich lagoon
also
make sure your origin point is in the center of the model
the orange little dot is the origin point
raven ridge
Can you help me with merging now?
obtuse light
how do you manage the origin point?
if i move the model the origin point moves too
also if iwant to scale some vertices how would i do that
i accidently set my mouse left click to delete vertices how do i change it for a?
nvm
it doesnt matter!
thanks btw!
now only problem is that the thumbs are super long

fix?
also how do i input textures?

can someone tell me why some models have several layers? for example i go into tab mode, delete the faces of my skirt and their is another layer of faces directly beneath it
upper kiln
@nocturne marlin it can be for many thing for damange effect for example
if you every play game with damanage effect it layer of mesh
that get remove in games
some game use swap face for 2d face
vindictus model have serverial verison clothes be ripped
on model
how they do that in vindictus if every get hit that layer will disable the mesh
nocturne marlin
is there a way to remove them easly because under certain light situations you can see it clipping (very bright areas/or very dark) https://gyazo.com/7ec54cb5e927d9a9efcc0d8f32938a4a

@rich lagoon 0 vertices its different layers basically, really annoying

Different layers in object mode?
try pressing A twice in object mode to select everything and do ctrl + J
go back into edit mode and remove doubles

If I only plan to use actual textures on very few areas, and just materials for color on most, should I separate my model into multiple objects and unwrap just the ones that want textures
Can I cut my whole model into multiple objects just like that
or will there be problems later on
I'm just overall having trouble understanding how the UV map works as a whole
quiet zenith
damn that guy's a CG master
high jetty
@sand dirge if you separate your mesh into multiple objects it’ll be really bad for performance.
sand dirge
So do I have to connect everything together
like if I have a hat do I have to connect vertices and edges and create faces, rather than just ctrl+J
high jetty
As long as they are joined everything should be fine. Connecting everything is not necessary
high jetty
You can add seams to areas you want to add to a UV map and then select them and unwrap them
sand dirge
I tried, yes, but it's going to take a while to get it into any proper textureable form
Plus I would've preferred to have some parts just be a blender-made material, not something I'd draw by hand on an image
high jetty
UV mapping takes practice
Also, using too many materials is also bad for performance so I’d try to limit them
sand dirge
So I can use both textures from UV map and materials?
I guess it's just through assigning in edit mode after selecting the specific parts?
high jetty
Indeed
sand dirge
Also, I rearranged and scaled stuff on the UV map and was planning to export it so I can draw on it, but will it stay like that
Seems like touching something resets the UV map at least, so what do I have to look out for so I don't have to rearrange and scale everything again?
high jetty
As long as you save the blender file it should remember any changes you make to uv map changes
Just remember if you are making any changes to the image file, that needs to be saved separately
sand dirge
Alright, thanks a ton
sand dirge
Huh
Now I'm in trouble with modifiers then
wanting solidify on some but not whole object

wish I could make a proper face
and gotta figure out what to do about the no-longer-solidified parts

hybrid kettle
Would anyone be willing to help me out with a little modeling, Mostly backface curling which has been an issue for me. My face or mesh is one sided so when i import into the unity game engine the normals disappear on one side and of course show on the other. I've tried to flip normals, can't do that as for it will still do the same thing but on the opposite side. Tried doubling does nothing once so ever, and the modifier soildify, whch doe work if i keep the materials separate. I don't want to keep them separate as that's just making people pc have to run harder for draw calls and everything. Once i join them back i lose the solidify and it's right back to normal with the backface curling issue. Hope i said enough to help a litte, I really want to get this fixed but i can't seem to find a way. Thanks.
hybrid kettle
Looks like a uv mapping issue, but i don't really know much about uv mapping to help.
fair reef
hmm
rich lagoon
@hybrid kettle You need a face on both sides, so extrude a bit and then recalc normals so there are faces on both sides
extrude > right click > alt + s
or
make sure the object is unwrapped
hybrid kettle
Thank you, i will give it a go. have a few models that have that issue and just can't use them because of it.
rich lagoon
tab into edit mode, select the faces, press F9 and click the twoside option
or you can use the solidify modifier
Which adds depth
hybrid kettle
My olny issue with the solidify is it add more un needed verts for models that already have over 60k faces. so it's harder to get it under with decimate without losing so much detail.
hybrid kettle
option 1 doesn't seem to work for me any time i try it. but i will try option 3 as for the second one wont save when i join the materials back together.
rich lagoon
You have to have the faces selected
rich lagoon
Just go into face mode, select the faces, and then select the check box
hybrid kettle
So the double sided still won't work , even after going to edit mode selecting faces option and selecing all the faces. I can see it does something, but once i click back on backface curling it;s still the same.
maybe i'm just doing something so simple wrong lol
extruding works though.
rich lagoon
You don't have to click backface culling
Backface culling doesn't do anything outside of Blender
@hybrid kettle
hybrid kettle
Well in unity the faces will flip so i use backface curling to see if i have any meshes that are one sided.

Anyone know how can I remove those eyelash ? it is really ugly

Well crap
The character's front hair is mirrored and I don't know how to exclude it
since mirror doesn't seem to accept vertex groups
Okay so this weird crease along the axis appeared again
assuming it's caused by mirror and subdivide modifier but I properly have mirror before subdividing
It wasn't there two saves ago and I didn't touch the vertices along that line
or actually maybe I did
I was gonna say I touched her chest but that sounds inappropriate
Well the front hair I don't want to mirror is still a problem
WTF the crease is caused by a solidify affecting a vertex group
I guess I should just, like
not use solidify
So apparently putting mirror as the very first thing and only then using solidify and then subdividing works
Should I just have subdividing off for the actual avatar .-.

Merci, it's for a commission
rich lagoon
Apply the mirror modifier and then add a subdivision
Either that or keep the mirror modifier and go into edit mode, select everything, and press w and subdivide
sand dirge
My ambient occlusion just paints the whole thing black
I don't see the baking process in real-time but it takes over a minute to do
and I still have no idea how to handle the front hair as I don't want it mirrored but I can't leave it out of the mirror modifier if I make it into a single object
Everybody's posting pics of models with asymmetrical hair
:<
rich lagoon
So then make the hair it's own mesh and remove the mirror modifier
Select all of the hair and press P
Separate by selection
@sand dirge
sand dirge
I was told here I should keep everything single object
rich lagoon
Well you can rejoin the hair and body when you're done with the body
Make sure you apply the mirror modifier to the body before you join the 2 though
rich lagoon
You can join them by going into object mode and selecting both meshes and pressing ctrl + J
rich lagoon
I'd recommend saving a backup blend file before applying modifiers... that way if you mess up you can go back
But, once you join the meshes make sure you join the vertices from the neck and body
That way it's all 1 mesh
nocturne marlin
does the blender material settings have any influence at all if I put over another shader over it anyway in unity?
rich lagoon
If the shader colors the whole body, I'm sure it wouldn't make a difference
But if you have a toon shader for example you would need a material
sand dirge
...huh
Should I have used toon shader rather than diffuse
Didn't even know it was a thing
rich lagoon
A toon shader is only in Unity.. you apply it after you import it
It just draws a black outline to the character
You'd still need a material for the character

@last hinge Not a very updated one right now, I think
Not that I'm sure what that even means exactly
Latest pic I have of it and it's outdated, I said "later" because I'm away from home for another two hours maybe
also that's a censored face so doesn't much help
Oh well here's something but again, old
Smoothed though so no proper topology (I think??)
last hinge
well you aren't defining any forms..
chin/lips/eyes, the planes of the face
eg.
planes of the face
you can use simialr meshes and pull it to a realistic shape or an anime shape/animated shape
but you'll still have the same underlying forms/polys/curves defining features
This one has example of face toplogy on a stylized character.. its high polycount for vrchat but you get the idea
sand dirge
I'll DM you a proper picture once I'm home, is that fine with you?
last hinge
sure
sand dirge
Will have a look at those too, of course
last hinge
Like this has really nice facial topolgy on a 10k polygon character from league
click the play icon and you can look at the model in webgl hit \\ and click on topology can you can zoom in on the face
You'll find a lot of artists will start using similar edge loops and layouts for facial features and then sculpt/push and pull the porportions
eye treatment will be slightly different if you want to do the MMD style anime eyes where you punch out the eye holes and have "cups behind" them with little nubs for the pupils sort of thing

Anybody know how to import a Unity .fbx into Blender? Whenever I try, my model turns into a weird blob

someone knows how to get rid of those black things in both eyes? I tried something, and although I managed to delete those black parts on the inner part of the eye, the color in the outer part of the eyes isn't white as it should be, instead it is pink, someone knows how to solve this?
it looks like this now
lapis needle
@tight tartan If its black. Its probably ment to be transparent. Meaning there was something either white behind it or it would be replaced by a white texture. Also if you see something thats pink and shouldnt be. Its because either you dont have a material assigned to it or its just not present.
tight tartan
that's the "pink" thing I was referring to
lapis needle
That looks like that stuff behind the eye is suppose to be white
Did you just delete them or did you color them something diffrent?
tight tartan
no, I changed the transparency to the minimum and now it is like that
tight tartan
I crreated an atlas and then I changed this to 0
lapis needle
Bring it back to a hundred. You just need to assign those parts in the model to something white
tight tartan
do you know where to do that?
because I tried clicking and changing many random things
lapis needle
Fist youll want to select everything thats ment to be white in the eyes. In my case these areas are seperated from the main mesh so I can push ctrl+l to select them. Then youll come over to your materials tab and find the correct material that corosponds to this and click on it and asign it.
Youll want to select all the parts in the eye that are ment to be white and then assign the proper material to them.
sand dirge
I thought tris were considered bad practice and then you post a model that's only tris
eep
tight tartan
Already selected everything and clicked those things you tolde me, it is still there, am I missing something? First I tabbed, then I selected the things I want to change, then I clicked "EyeWhite" then went to the shading tab, ticked the backface culling, clicked "assing" but iit is still there

trying to create fake bones for a model, using 3ds max, anybody got a good tutorial for that?
last hinge
@spiral sigil I had the black thing happen going from Houdini -> Unity so it could be a similar issue I just assigned a new shader and populated the abedo value with something
eg.
I'm like whelp whever, it works after assigning shaders so...
if it still happens it could be a winding order issue.. iun which case you need to reverse u/vs or toggle that switch on the shader maybe.
was everything modelled and rigged and blendshaped in maya or was parts done in another package
?

Extremely new to making models. I downloaded this model off of sketchfab as an OBJ, and was wondering if 1. It comes present with the proper bones and points so I can upload directly to VRChat and 2. How to get the chain and lantern into his hands.
Is this too big of a project to start with?

@sacred mist THat's a pretty advanced project to take up if you never modelled/textured/rigged or done game engine stuff before. I'd focus on just getting the character working first, ignore the props until you are comfortable.

can not add second avatar, it always replaces the first one, as a result, I always have only one avatar and no more than that :
I thought it was because I was doing everything in one Unity project, but this is not the case

It's my first time making an avatar and I've made it to unity, but the atlas I've created doesn't wrap right in unity it just looks like the map is layed flat against the character. Any suggestions?

Hm so i'm new to 3d modeling, and i'm trying to figure out how i would remodel this
and shape it to fit the grey alien from VRchat
Would that be possible?
Wanna have the body shaped for the alien, so it doesnt look weird, then make the hood bigger and have my aliens head under the hood
smoky nymph
What program are you using?
willow radish
well the cloak is on blender, but whenever i try to upload the alien to blender it doesnt turn out to well, I'm completely new to this so maybe i fucked up
i was following a guide for VRchat, but it doesnt help for what im tryint to do
teal delta
nvm fixed my issue
smoky nymph
Editing th cloak is pretty easy just search for some guide but for the alien.. I'm not sure

i need to be able to compare the cloak to the alien so i know how to model it, but the alien model is messed up when i import it, FeelsBadMan

Did you tried opening a new blender scene then File>import>.fbx yet? and copy the cloak in after that.
Sorry if I wasn't much help as I didn't mess around with importing .fbx much

So I would guess either the .fbx is broken or the thing is hidden...
Or maybe a material problem

hello, ive got a question and i am not sure if this is the right channel to ask. i am rigging a model in blender and i noticed the toes of my character are inside of eachother while in a T pose but when the legs move the toes stay stuck and stretch as if theyre one part. is there an easy way to seperate them?

Post a pic
What do you mean they're inside each other? All of tghe toes on one foot?

Is there a way to put the model in a T-Pose on Blender?
Fingers are bending inward and what not when uploaded to Unity. Just opt to solve the problem in one go in Blender than doing a trial and error attempt everytime. Saves me a couple minutes.
sullen zinc
@spare musk Hmm, try redoing the armature maybe? My guess is they're both weighted to the same bone.
modern compass
Hey guys, any idea on why this is happaning/how I can fix it? https://i.imgur.com/RVR5T0v.gifv
Not sure why the gif doesn't play in Discord but it does on the Link
spare musk
@sullen zinc I was thinking that too ill have to check it
wary elbow
@modern compass Check weights of the Vert's.
It seems like there is a confliction between the Lower and Upper. (Lower arm seems to have a weight applied in the Upper arm).
Or possibly one vert has no weight at all. Not applied to either Upper or Lower.
modern compass
Hmm, I actually just had to leave my computer but I'll try that. Just in case it's not that and you're not around, could there be anything else? @wary elbow
wary elbow
I'm pretty sure its just a misapplication of a weight. It's an easy fix, but you'll have to dig in there and snip it back to the proper bone.
modern compass
Not really sure why I didn't think of weight, thanks for the reminder though! It's funny because I only realised the issue after getting in game :/
dusk cave
I'm trying to add an image to my character, are there any problems with just adding in a Plane via Unity and assigning a material to it?
i've tried that, and it's supposed to show up on my avatar with an override but it doesn't show up in mirrors or cameras and other players see it but only rendering over top of where my character model renders
also my character's pupils rendering through it, which is kind of scary.
modern compass
From what I know, objects from animation overrides can never be seen in mirrors
hardy bridge
How would i go about getting the map for where editing a specific part of a image would affect a specific part of a model
like it gives you the wire outline on a flat image indicating what goes where and how it changes it
something that looks like that
but how do i get to the point of how to make that kinda thing
spiral sigil

edit bounds on the "Body" of your model

@hardy bridge if you mean UV wrapping there are some guides out there

where do you edit the "bounds" ?

@hardy bridge you gotta look for uv mapping and texture painting

Is there a guide to getting things from oculus medium with multiple layers to vrchat?
hushed belfry
There's a video tutorial for medium models to vrchat
It's one of the first you'll find on youtube if you search vrchat model rigging
but you can include the word medium to be sure @sullen zinc
Ohdamn I'm ready for VRchat
sullen zinc
I've been watching that video, but it's old and doesn't tell you how to get multiple layers to work. I'm going crazy trying to get this model to work.
hushed belfry
Ah yeah donno how many people can help you if it's a medium specific thing
How does it export?
If it exports into multiple objects you can merge them in blender
wary elbow
@spiral sigil
Make it smaller. Those are over 5.
sullen zinc
It does, and I have been, but every time I try to join them together then rig the resulting mesh, it gives me Bone Heat Weighting: failed to find solution for one or more bones. I got everything to work once, but tried to pose it into a T pose and this happened:
wary elbow
Needs to be 5 below
sullen zinc
It's a nightmare.
I've resigned myself to combining them all into one model before I export it. The only problem is that the same thing happens when I try to pose it.
I'll just try to use this torn up model

In blender, if you seperate materials with Cats you can select the purple dots and delete them

Check materials for the color, i guess

And as for the background color of the eyes, I wouldn't have a clue sorry.

Hi, can someone help me change eyes color to something like turquoise color?
fossil birch
Hopefully someone in here can answer this blender question: I have a texture which has transparent bits. I want those parts of the mesh to actually be transparent. But instead blender just gets rid of the alpha and it looks like it's just replacing it with the nearest 0 alpha color. Which is obviously quite bad.
here's the settings on the texture
it sort of works if I enable transparency on the material and set alpha to 0 but
it forces everything to be 100% transparent or 100% opaque for some reason which is super ugly

Could also be that you need to turn culling off in your shader which can be done by downloading the Unity shader source and adding the line "Cull Off" to the subshader section.
