Hmmm. well, you can apply the deciamtor, and then do it again

spiral sigil Jan 10, 2018, 9:28 AM

#

wait would 48k mean alot or would i get in troble?

#

i mean i have one thats like 21k

brazen dirge Jan 10, 2018, 9:28 AM

#

VR Chat limits to 20k tris for an avatar

spiral sigil Jan 10, 2018, 9:29 AM

#

this suuuuuucks

#

all i wanted was to bring in a yuno

brazen dirge Jan 10, 2018, 9:29 AM

#

Thing is, if you have THAT many tris you might be able to also use the decimator on the face and other high poly areas

#

maybe at a factor of 0.6 or so

spiral sigil Jan 10, 2018, 9:30 AM

#

but he said if i do that i cant do eye tracking and mouth tracking

brazen dirge Jan 10, 2018, 9:30 AM

#

huh? granted i don'T do that much in blender but that stuff shouldn'T depend on a specific poly count i think...

#

Hmm

spiral sigil Jan 10, 2018, 9:31 AM

#

XC was going to say if you could find a yuno with a low polly count id be super happy XD

brazen dirge Jan 10, 2018, 9:32 AM

#

yuno gasai?

spiral sigil Jan 10, 2018, 9:32 AM

#

but i guess i could look for another one (2 hours of my time on my first mmd wasted XD) and yes XD she's my wifu

#

i'll try another one

#

ok i found one thats 30k should be able to do this now

brazen dirge Jan 10, 2018, 9:37 AM

spiral sigil Jan 10, 2018, 10:49 AM

#

you mean decimation?

#

so i did it but the shoes are now super whaked

remote otter Jan 10, 2018, 10:59 AM

#

How long does it take for a model to show up in game?

last hinge Jan 10, 2018, 11:09 AM

#

decimation only works so much, ideally you can use template/retopologise tools and remodel everything down to something sensible [I'm working on a MMD/Anime template and got it under 10k polys pretty easily buy remodelling everything from scratch, just drawing quads over the old surface and only putting detail where it needs it, then doing wraps/transfers to move blendshapes / uv's, etc to bake from the higher resolution model.

#

shit 3am got to hit the hay

inland fern Jan 10, 2018, 11:13 AM

Anyone know gow to replace the old with the new python in blender? can't add cat's plugin because it reports errors all the time.

Now it's at least trying to make an ambient occlusion map but 1) it saves it over the texture file I have rather than the new one I created and had active and 2) it still doesn't really look like an ambient occlusion map, with really rough edges and all

If you go to file>save as and press the + key on your number pad it'll increment the .blend filename by a number, then you can go back a bit even if you've made a major fuckup.

Of course you have to do that while you're working and before you make a balls of it, but it's useful to remember for the future.

Hey. I made my 1st iteration of my character ( will modify it as time goes on and add things to it), as of now its just a floating head with a dangling spine. ( may remind you of enemies that are spawned in Darkest Dungeon by the Collector boss ). What bones do I need exactly to put there? I have no limbs but I want to make sure that it will work well in the game. It's supposed to float but its something that has to be done in Unity iirc.

If i join a different hub it becomes invisible for everyone else.

I'm very sorry for asking it here, I basically just joined and have looked up on Google, YouTube and through most, if not all of the channels here, but is there a guide or something close to it for 3ds Max? It's the only modelling software I have (some) knowledge of.

I made my own model. I unwrapped and textured it, but I'm not sure if I should add Morph targets to individual meshes, the complete mesh or if I should add bones first

Well I found a way to download my favorite Avatar from a world I just want it in my personal avatars but it's a vrca so I was going to read all the sdk dll to try figure out how the upload bit works but to many files @sand lion

Ah, okay. I didn't know that was possible, but no I've no experience with ever using vrca file.

Can you import it into unity?

Duckers, are you on the correct unity version?

spiral sigil Jan 10, 2018, 6:23 PM

Umm add components

inland fern Jan 10, 2018, 6:24 PM

Add components doesn't have it in the list.

And yes. Downloaded the version the vrchat sdk supports

try typing vrc into the search when adding components, you dont see vrc descriptor?

Thought it was max 20k, not 10k

sand lion Jan 10, 2018, 6:28 PM

#

it is max 20k

#

thats a generic warning if you go above 10k

#

as long as there's no red sign there, you're good to upload

#

but make sure you have imported your model as a humanoid rig

#

otherwise it wont use vrc standard animation

inland fern Jan 10, 2018, 6:28 PM

#

And i guess i can't add the humanoid in unity?

sand lion Jan 10, 2018, 6:29 PM

#

you can

#

if you go to your assets, click on the model

#

on the right you should see generic rig change it to humanoid

#

and then click configure below that, it will let you make sure all the bones are correctly set

#

I usually remove the jaw bone for good measure depending on what you're adding

Alright guys I'm stuck, still kinda new to this so bare with me, I have a model I just got done fixing in blender (weights and rigging) but now I am trying to get him into unity to finish up the rest of it and I noticed something is up with the textures, I see that my model has 7 textures (eyes, clothes, face, etc..) but when it goes into unity I only see one mat sphere pop up and if I drag any of the textures into it, the whole model gets covered in only that one texture. How do I either combined all the textures into one file or add more mat spheres and assign them to the right spots?

textures will be muddled

Id say youd faster learn to make an avatar by yourself than find someone to make it

its not that complicated tbh. Its a steep learning curve but as soon as you grasp the basics it gets much easier

oh good program?

yeah.. if you are serious about it.. maya, zbrush, mudbox, etc

For the nuts and bolts, you can look at co-ordinate systems, transforms, winding order, surface, point and vertex normals, etc.

#

you don't really need to know the nuts and bolts as an artist but it really helps troubleshooting issues.

honestly that was a question for a different type of software im not even using for VRchat but its like the same process

fucking thing doesnt even support vertex paints and the texture i have for it currently is warped like shit since i removed a part of it

abstract cradle Jan 11, 2018, 5:05 AM

#

you should just use blender

spiral sigil Jan 11, 2018, 5:06 AM

#

no, i have to use this thing called lens studio, its for making snapchat lenses

#

reason im asking here is cause i saw vertex paint and since i need to do stuff involving it since it doesnt support it, i figured they might know

#

o well

#

i figure i fucked up the uv maps or something when i removed a part of the model, so now when i try to apply the texture its all warped

@abstract cradle im adding new clothes to my avatar but it will stick with the hair......

#

if i try to move the hair bone

spiral sigil Jan 11, 2018, 5:13 AM

#

VRchat should make it so that you can get Models from the Steam workshop insted of spending 2 hours to set up a model and then it does not work

abstract cradle Jan 11, 2018, 5:14 AM

#

if that's the case, you will have to edit the hair to fit the outfit

#

it seems simple but its gonna take some time especially if you're changing outfits to make the hair look good

#

@spiral sigil what happened?

spiral sigil Jan 11, 2018, 5:16 AM

#

VRchat should find a way to make it more easy to get models in game cause it takes forever to get a model into the game via blender and unity

uneven drift Jan 11, 2018, 6:01 AM

What other things are you trying?

#

Do you have Cubed's toon shader?

#

@tight tartan Depends on if there are body parts under the clothes. If you remove all the body you can't see it might reduce a lot of tris

tight tartan Jan 11, 2018, 6:03 AM

#

@tribal garden download cubed's shaders, that makes the model more beautiful xD

astral forge Jan 11, 2018, 6:03 AM

#

@tight tartan just put everything but the face into one mesh and collapse decimate it

tribal garden Jan 11, 2018, 6:03 AM

#

Alright dude

tight tartan Jan 11, 2018, 6:03 AM

#

like, the body has 50k polys xD

#

but it also affects the hands

astral forge Jan 11, 2018, 6:04 AM

#

people say you shouldn't decimate limbs but you can do it to an extent

#

oh

tight tartan Jan 11, 2018, 6:04 AM

#

that's wy I'm not sure

astral forge Jan 11, 2018, 6:04 AM

#

wait ya keep hand out too

uneven drift Jan 11, 2018, 6:04 AM

#

If it if that high poly you might be screwed unless you can delete stuff under clothes

astral forge Jan 11, 2018, 6:05 AM

#

I got a 90k model to 20k, it's doable

tight tartan Jan 11, 2018, 6:05 AM

#

I deleted the panties, but that's it, I could reduce the polys in every part except on the body, face and legs

#

Guess I'll try decimating the body and I'll see in vrchat how it looks

astral forge Jan 11, 2018, 6:06 AM

#

feet you can decimate and they wont look too bad

tight tartan Jan 11, 2018, 6:06 AM

#

yeah? great

astral forge Jan 11, 2018, 6:07 AM

#

you can also decimate by vert group

#

so you can decimate something that's part of the same mesh as the hands but it won't ruin the hands

spiral sigil Jan 11, 2018, 6:12 AM

#

Can you explain that in detail @astral forge ?

#

the decimating by vert group*

#

I have this jetpack thingy thats been weighed down by the cones

📎 2.png

tight tartan Jan 11, 2018, 6:17 AM

#

@astral forge how is that of the vert group?

astral forge Jan 11, 2018, 6:18 AM

#

when you add the decimate modifier, there is a box with the vert group symbol on it

#

the 7 dots

#

6 with one in the middle

#

select a vert group from the drop down box and it will only decimate polys that are made from verts from that group

#

for the jetpack thing it probably is all one vert group (vert groups are a way to assign verts to a specific bone)

spiral sigil Jan 11, 2018, 6:20 AM

#

Yea, I was thinking that doesn't make sense for this ><

astral forge Jan 11, 2018, 6:21 AM

#

so you would have to creat a new vert group and add the verts from the cones to the new vert group

#

and then decimate that new vert group

#

you can create new vert groups under the data tab

#

with the plus button

#

and assign verts to the group by selecting the verts in edit mode and pressing assign with the vert group selected

tight tartan Jan 11, 2018, 6:22 AM

#

fuck, now I'm dizzy, I'll try doing that tomorrow

spiral sigil Jan 11, 2018, 6:24 AM

By george, I can't believe I actually think I understood that @astral forge

#

Wait!, lol what. it decimated everything but the cones ><

Oh wait, the collapse inverted button. got it!

I'm disliking how the cones are being decimated. Are there alternative techniques?

mossy cipher Jan 11, 2018, 6:36 AM

#

create ur own cones?

#

I was thinking that, but I didn't want to say it ><

mossy cipher Jan 11, 2018, 6:37 AM

#

by merging 6 squarish plates?

#

it looks okay since it would be small

spiral sigil Jan 11, 2018, 6:37 AM

#

Hold the phone, only been blender'ing 2 weeks, that's gibberish to me, (I'm dumb took that way too figuratively)

#

Oh, wait. your saying make a hexagon cone

mossy cipher Jan 11, 2018, 6:38 AM

#

trapazoid

#

6 trapazoids = pipe shaped thingy

astral forge Jan 11, 2018, 6:39 AM

#

usually it should decimate pretty effectively

mossy cipher Jan 11, 2018, 6:39 AM

#

it decimated and the connecting parts due to it being thinner than the rest

astral forge Jan 11, 2018, 6:39 AM

#

It might be doing a bad job decimating the cones because of how you selected the verts

mossy cipher Jan 11, 2018, 6:39 AM

#

i think

#

im no expert

astral forge Jan 11, 2018, 6:39 AM

#

you might need to select a few more verts

#

right now it doesn't think the cones are connected to anything

#

when decimating

mossy cipher Jan 11, 2018, 6:40 AM

#

yah

astral forge Jan 11, 2018, 6:40 AM

#

but maybe selecting the verts where the base of the cones contact the backpack

#

and including those in the group

#

could give it a better idea on how to decimate it

#

cause right now you only have the cones selected

#

so add a bit of the backpack in too

spiral sigil Jan 11, 2018, 6:42 AM

#

Rodger roder

astral forge Jan 11, 2018, 6:42 AM

#

and it might work better

spiral sigil Jan 11, 2018, 6:52 AM

#

I've included the boxes around the cones, and same result. decimating the entire jetpack too results in same result. Probably have to live with trapazoid cones

#

Now I just have to learn how to do that...

astral forge Jan 11, 2018, 6:54 AM

#

what happens when you just try decimating the whole jetpack?

spiral sigil Jan 11, 2018, 6:54 AM

#

Same result, cones become triangles https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/390924397726138370/400900628152582145/5.png

#

but thats with the cone vert group selected

#

what if you just use decimate with no cone group

#

Oh no, i just linked same picture from before to not have to crop another one

#

📎 9.png

astral forge Jan 11, 2018, 7:11 AM

#

ya

#

if you want hexagon shape get like 6 of them and thin them down

#

and to add them as a mesh under your jetpack mode you have to parent them to the jetpack object

#

to parent something you select the child in the heirarchy

#

then shift click on what you want the parent to be

#

then press ctrl p

#

and select the first option that appears

#

maybe a video wold be better lol

#

you can move around individual verts if you select them in edit mode btw

@raven ridge all of your faces are disconnected. select everything, hit space and type "remove doubles" and you will get what you want. However subdividing the model is not a good idea in general, what you want is to mark the faces as smooth an sharp edges as sharp.

@loud sierra there are some things that aren't being translated

loud sierra Jan 11, 2018, 4:02 PM

#

@inland fern What I would do, would remove the sword and shild, and add them later in unity. This way, you don't have them stuck to you hands constantly.

#

@tight tartan If it won't translate, you may need to do the "Change color till you find it" method.

#

@tight tartan Click on a texture and click the little white box on the right side, where you'll be able to change the RGB color. If you see it change the color of the eye (or face) you found out if it is a Facemesh, or Eyemesh. If not, then tough luck, Ctrl + Z, and try the next, untill you find it.

#

@tight tartan An eye texture would usually look like this:

@inland fern in edit mode, go to vertex or edge selection mode, select one vertex or edge and press L, then press X to delete the verts

Assuming they are all inside one object.

L selects the whole polygon island, it should definitely not select the character if it's in seam mode and otherwise disconnected from the character. If you have somehow fused the sword into the character, then the only option is to manually delete parts of it. Use that box selection for example, or with one vertex selected press CTRL + + to grow the selection

im a bit rusty in blender. but it looks like you have a seam thats not cut completely. those long triangles usually go between two verts that you intended to split. check all your seams and unwrap again if you missed something. a proper unwrap should arrange itself with no overlap.

@spiral sigil What I'd do to bring that polycount down, is separate it into hard surfaces, and soft surfaces. The hard ones should react quite nicely to a planar decimate with a triangulate modifier after it.

The soft deforming stuff, you can use a regular decimate coupled with a vertex weight group to guide the decimation away from joints (especially the hands)

#

go in blender and check your weights

#

see what area of effect each bone has

#

I think that some vertice groups for bones are really messed up

#

@spiral sigil unless you have VR, you shouldnt worry

#

ok ty

#

tfw having experience after making one stupid avatar you feel like a pro in everything only to later realise that you still dont know shiz

@thorn hare are you checking the weights?

#

I need some help, I separated a single object by selection and a bunch of others turned black

#

I can't figure out what happened nor can I undo it due to the short history

#

I can't get it to show the texture without going to render mode

thorn hare Jan 11, 2018, 11:00 PM

#

I have zero to none blender experience

#

so I'm trying my best lol @spiral sigil

#

I know unity a bit

Why my mesh turns black?

I'm new here.

My problem is.... my mesh turns black, I don't know why also when I create a new object like a cube it turns black as well, I recalculated the normals and nothing happened, please he...

#

Well I have the opposite, I can make a model from scratch, rig it and so on but my knowledhe in unity is only enough to upload what Ive made in Blender to VRchat

#

maybe this helps

#

@spiral sigil thanks but I'm working in shadeless + not in texture mode

#

only certain objects are black

#

all in one area

spiral sigil Jan 11, 2018, 11:03 PM

#

@thorn hare Id reccomend watching Darrin Lile Character Rigging tutorial series, especially Ep. 5-7/8 where he does weight texturing

#

you should be able to at least know how to check the weights with that

true olive Jan 11, 2018, 11:06 PM

#

I figured it out

#

Blender bug

#

I turned off use alpha and turned it back on, it fixes

#

Not sure why, but weight paint isn't showing up for me.

spiral sigil Jan 11, 2018, 11:39 PM

#

I imported my model but it only appears as a red outline, whats the cause of that?

Anyone know of a good pistol? Pretty please :3

Desert Eagle always looks cool @molten geode

#

I was thinking more of something with a silencer, but I have a week experience of blender and unity XD I know how to do stuff, but I'm soooo slow XD

#

and the ones I'm finding on the net are more complex than my avi ^^

spiral sigil Jan 11, 2018, 11:51 PM

#

@spiral sigil check pinned post by the devs. ITs a game bug

radiant horizon Jan 11, 2018, 11:52 PM

#

There's weight paint.

spiral sigil Jan 11, 2018, 11:52 PM

#

@molten geode I made a flintlock pistolwith about 2 days of experience with blender, and I think its good enough. making a pistol aint that bad

#

You need to remember to do things that have to be done ( general shape of the gun) and just skip anything beyond that you can mask lack of some elements with a texture and it will look fine. Theres no point doing every little screw

molten geode Jan 11, 2018, 11:57 PM

#

Okay, I shall try XD

#

Thanks

it has over 156k polygons, so a redo is a must.
