https://imgur.com/a/f2ccu anyone know how i can remove a part of this? its all one mesh btw
the broken finger is what i want to remove.
viscid siren
that is more of a issue with skeleton and weight paint
throw it in blender and check how the model looks in there
spiral sigil
ok
odd
oh wait nvm
its something to do with the rig
no idea how to fix it
the unrigged ones fingers are fine, rigged ones are not
high jetty
Looks like the index finger is weight painted to something else
viscid siren
looking at it in blender there is nothing wrong with the skeleton or weight paint
or i guess it's the same model, your's seems to be decimated

can someone do a Devilman model with full rigging?

Expect to provide coin for such a task.
Sadly, my expertise is leaned towards hard surface modeling than organic surface.
Do it in zbrush first, then retopologize.

i used to watch the shit outta this
wary elbow
@spiral sigil - An "easy" way to get something rigged in a somewhat "Subpar" way is using Maximo.
Delete the skeleton if the thing has it. Then FBX it into Maximo. Then it should rig it - hopefully well at least. Then if there are some verticies going wack - then reweight it to the proper bone if necessary.

I'm not sure if this is the correct place, but can someone point me towards someone that might be interested in accepting commissions to a 3d model for me? Not take one deviantArt or such and rig it up and all - but to actually create the model.

@torn zephyr that's the version i'm more familiar with

Hello
I wanted to ask you peeps that if I wanted a model's hair, skirt, or jacket to bob around as I move, will I need dynamic bones in Unity for that? Or do I just create a new bone root in blender for that?
viscid siren
you need dynamic bones and they ain't free
timid vine
this
coral flame
huh
spiral sigil
@viscid siren Shiet. Well thanks for the response tho
carmine ridge
dynamic bones are a paid feature?
spiral sigil
Thank you everyone
viscid siren
they are from Unity asset store
spiral sigil
In unity, there's an asset store which you can get the Dynamic Bones Asset for $20
@carmine ridge

No it isn't i maked an animation for shaking the hair and the eyes and it didn't needed an asset

Hi, someone know a little about Dynamic hair ?
i mean dynaic bone plugin in unity ? someone knows ?
dynamic*
fiery frost
Actually yeah, I'm curious
I would very much be open to commissioning a 3D modeler to have my character created, doubly so for it to be rigged and Unity-compatible
Anyone know where I could find people willing to do that, if not in this server? 2D Artists-for-hire are plentiful but I don't think I've ever seen a 3D equivalent
spiral sigil
@hidden lake I know a little about it
hidden lake
@spiral sigil nice, so my probleme is that i add some more bones for a ponytail, but whene i see it in Unity, it works i can see the bone with physic, but only whene my camera is very close to it, whene i unzoom it, the physic doesn't work and i only see the bone bouncing but not the mesh with it, and also in the game it doesn't appear at all
spiral sigil
@hidden lake hmmm sounds like a strange issue that I haven't encountered yet. Do you have the right SDK and Unity versions?
hidden lake
It's like the mesh is linked with the bone, but only in close range, whene i zoom less, it doesn't work, the bone is moving but the texture are not linked, it's realy wierd
yes i have everything good it's not my first model
spiral sigil
right
hidden lake
But for this model i wanted to add dynamic bones but i think i'll forget it, it's so sad it actually work whene i close to it
i'm*
spiral sigil
sorry, no idea how to fix that one, and searching doesn't seem to bring any relevant information :I
hidden lake
ye i searched too, it seems i'm always the only one with those problems lol
spiral sigil
yeah there's always the annoying problems that no-one else has lol
i have some of those in blender lol
hidden lake
You use blender ?
hidden lake
i need to ask you something
spiral sigil
??
hidden lake
So i have my model, wich is rigged, and works perfectly fine, the thing is : How can i add more bones ? i mean i know how to do it, but do i have to creat another armatur in blender or should i add the bones to the original armature ?
spiral sigil
I usually just add the bones to the original armature and use the closest one as a parent, chest to 1st tail bone, etc
not sure if "parent" is the right word but i think it is
hidden lake
that's what i did
i add one bone (just for the test) to the head bone, so that it is it parent,
timid vine
take it to DM

what is dm ?

spiral sigil
@unkempt sinew What for in Unity?
spiral sigil
hello
can someone clarify... unity and blender use a y up or z up axis
and how do i convert
spiral sigil
in unity or blender
y should be up but it isnt
blender uses z up
3dsmax also uses z up https://imgur.com/a/S89Qc
last hinge
most 3d packages use Y up, 3ds max is derived from autocad which is whyh they use Z = up
spiral sigil
how do i convert the axis for use in unity
last hinge
many programs let you pick what axis you wish to work in
I use Y is up [priopritetary software, maya, houdini, etc, my unity is Y is up?]
it could be an importation thing if you are brining in fbx's or whatever from another package that uses Z = up
for example on some fbx files that I didn't self make, I get a request/option to convert Y = up
spiral sigil
how do i convert it
last hinge
I wouldn't know in unity or blender [it's y = up for me?]
spiral sigil
nothing on the google says how to fix it
latent charm
@spiral sigil when you export a fbx from blender, it's possible to configure axis remapping. See where it says Forward: -Z Forward and Up: Y Up
That orientation will import correctly into Y-up software like Unity.

dusk tundra
it's simple enough to make your own, just learn the basics of edit mode. Select all [A], box select [B], grab [G], rotate [R], extrude [E]
just watch some videos. you can add a modifier to the 200k model called decimate to reduce the number of faces while leaving it looking roughly the same

Looking for someone who can replace outfits/clothes and basically put a model together using different parts from different models, will pay if u want💰
onyx juniper
@tawny burrow I don't think there are any intersecting tools outside of addons. You can create a vertex on the intersecting edge with ctrl + e -> subdivide though
tawny burrow
thats a good idea actually
since their position does not really matter i could do that
there is a way to merge them with vertices on the other edge i think
dusk tundra
there is a boolean modifier that can intersect. is that an addon?
viscid siren
boolean is a feature
it fucks up the topology and requires some cleaning afterwards, but it works
timid vine
ok, here's the current list of characters for VRChat: Devilman, Asterix, Obelix, Garfield, Shantae, Wallace and Gromit
any others?

Is it possible to make a high-detail 19k poly model

very much so
but preferable people make the high poly so they can take details from it and make a normal map for the low poly model, which retains all the detail even tho it has less polycons

Anyone know how I would take a model that has multiple meshes for one object, say a head, and combine all of the meshes into one solid mesh? I've "joined" them but that seems to just group the objects together. I then have to apply materials to each single piece of the mesh rather than the head as a whole...

how do i use blender
mossy quail
warm berry
cool
like im makeing a avatar and its all most done but after i deleted the uper chest and the toes it just now whut
@here
viscid siren
@granite dew no idea if you have figured it out, but to join meshes together you can select all and press ctrl+j, so you can now edit all the meshes at the same time, then you can also separate them again by selecting the meshes and pressing P and selecting "by loose parts",
we should start pinning some useful tutorials or addons jsut like other channels
silent warren
ffs, how do i link eyes to bones for eye tracking, i have hit hours of dead ends >_<
the model has surfaces for eyes, and bones to use
i just CANNOT seem to link them
i'm trying to follow Tuppers tutorial, but HIS model had eyes that worked with tracking properly
mossy quail
guess its a model problem then
viscid siren
select the bone in pose mode
then ctrl+p
when you have bone and the mesh select in mean
then "with automatic weights", then edit the weight in the weight paint mode
silent warren
that rotates the flat eye throug the face, though
AHA! of course it was something tiny that was screwing it up
viscid siren
you have to have the bone in right spot then so it would move accordingly
silent warren
i had to use armature deform, not bone
except.... the eye surfaces are still too flat
and the edges clip. a lot.
i thought what i needed was a driver to change the mapping, or mess with uv mapping or something
and the blender UI is... yeah...
i found the bone rotation, but when i tried to pin it, it disappears the values i want, and i don't understand the connected boxes i've seen in a few tutorials
again, blender ui having things buried a bit

Can someone help me regarding the export of a .nif model to .obj?
I was able to export the model but not the textures
agile cargo
you have to import the textures frst?

I've tried to export the textures too but for some reason 3DS Max is not exporting them
agile cargo
it should just use the orginal textures
steel basin
But it isn't for some reason
Maybe someone who knows how to mod Bethesda's game would know, since .nif is the format of the models used on their games

I've tried noesis but it don't load my model
With nifscope I can export the model to .obj with textures but the model becomes totally messed up
And the .nif plugin I have on blender is not working
tawny burrow
can you not use the textures from nifscope then?
steel basin
yep
tawny burrow
oh yeah
steel basin
When I open the original .nif file on 3ds max the textures appears too
tawny burrow
your problem is that you want to edit it in 3dsmax and its not exporting right, right?
steel basin
I don't even want to edit, the model is fine. I just want to convert it to .obj with the textures
tawny burrow
can you not export the model with 3dsmax and export the textures in nifscope and then patch both together with blender?
shouldn't be a problem if the uvmap comes out of 3dsmax right
steel basin
I'll try, but to say the truth I'm a noob regarding 3D modeling, lets see if I can do something
tawny burrow
i wouldn't consider myself a pro too, but i am pretty sure if the uv map is right you can just tell blender to use the other textures and it should work fine
steel basin
Soo I was able to apply a texture through the material editor of 3DS Max, but my model have multiple textures
Anyone know how to apply more than one texture?
it is like that now
the body texture is ok

@steel basin you'll have to use Multi/Sub-Object material and link Standard material to it for each material ID that your model has

So I've applied the textures using multi/sub-object like @lyric osprey said
But when I save and open the model it is withouth textures again
wth I'm doing wrong?
whole fractal
have the viewport in textured mode right?
lyric osprey
how do you save the model? obj? fbx? collada?
steel basin
.obj
lyric osprey
.obj does't save textures
steel basin
but it does redirect to them, right?
lyric osprey
https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/47915/when-i-save-something-as-an-obj-file-the-texture-does-not-save-with-it-why same applies for 3ds max
steel basin
But it is odd, all the textures are on the same folder as the .obj file
and they don't have spaces on their names
their names are short too
the .obj file looks like that
lyric osprey
you must have messed someting in export/import dialogs. make sure "texture coordinates" is checked at both
and "import materials"
steel basin
The configurations are like that here
Could this be a problem because of the format of the textures? They are .dds images

Hello, would anybody have an idea how to extract a character with umodel ? I managed to obtain textures file, a pskx file and an uasset file, I tried to open the uasset with Unreal engine but the file is empty, Blender (with plugin), PMDEditor, none of them working for the moment. I have also a SkeletalMesh file but idk what to do.

Great, now even with multi/sub-object the textures aren't appearing on my model
This is driving me nuts, I've been trying to make this model work for like 4 days
willow wigeon
Hey, can someone help me out?
wicked kettle
Watcha need
willow wigeon
So I have this model in a tpose, but the feet are stuck together so it looks like i have flipper feet in vrchat. How do I split them so the feet look normal?
whole fractal
is it rigged?
wicked kettle
You have to rig it for it to move
whole fractal
then you'll have to go into wireframe and select all the overlapping parts of the mesh and move them away from each other and reposition
willow wigeon
No I did rig it, but in vrchat the feet are like connected
whole fractal
ok, back up. is the actual mesh merged? or is it a bone issue pushing the mesh together?
whole fractal
in unity does it look normal when you import it?
wicked kettle
Can you post a pic or gif of the model in action?
whole fractal
i think it has to be uploaded to an image host or something like that to post here
willow wigeon
can i dm it to you
willow wigeon
trust me its not
whole fractal
lol
small pic so its hard to tell. if the model looks normal in unity, you might have the leg bones reversed in the rig configuration. right on left, etc
willow wigeon
Well in unity the feet are connected too

does it look normal in blender?

Okay, I've got to be doing something wrong, but I'm stumped. I want to make eye tracking work. What does it need? I can't make the bones move the textures. I can make the bones swing the flat eye plates around, but that's not really useful. The model has two eye plates, two textures, and two eye bones: https://i.imgur.com/oXTmCuq.png

@elfin talon https://www.models-resource.com/playstation_2/ratchetclank/model/6657/ you could use this but you would have to rig it

could someone tell me how to get the default roblox model into vrchat?
timid vine
there's already a world for that, it's called Roblox United
idk if it still exists tho
silent warren
pleh, i just can't get the bone to leave the meshes alone and just move the texture
eye tracking does something, but having eye plates clip through the face isn't quite what i was going for...
pale coyote
@willow wigeon You could try messaging the guy who made the roblox world and ask him to give you the model
willow wigeon
Thanks
steel basin
Someone know why this is happening? The textures aren't appearing even after I've putted them on the model
steel basin
I do but I don't know how to put them on the model. What do I need to do to apply the textures on Unity?
wicked kettle
In my case I went from zbrush to blender to unity, and made the textures and UVs in zbrush, I didn’t add any textures in blender since I knew I’d have to do it again in unity
Don’t know how it works with autocad 3d tho
steel basin
I see... If I rigg the model with mixamo will it lose the texture paths after the transfer?
wicked kettle
If you upload it to mixamo without the textures it won’t
Add the file and it’s textutes (if they have been pathed previously) into a zip file
Then chug that zip into mixamo
wicked kettle
Even then, it doesn’t matter cause you’ll need to add the textures again in unity
surreal ridge
hey guys, I'm trying to figure out how to make my mesh move with the body without weird stretching, it's a piece of armor. I use blender and tried a lot of stuff, but always end up with mesh being heavily distorted. Can I just make it move depending on a few bones without any deformation?
wicked kettle
Try modifying the weight mesh using the weight paint option in blender
viscid siren
yeah weight paint needs editing
surreal ridge
aight, thanks, its working
silent warren
ok, so i have bones inside a tail. how do i select only SOME of the tail for each bone? I can select either mesh, or armature, but can't seem to set the points that I want to the bone that I want...
wicked kettle
Weight paint
silent warren
the tail doesn't even move with the bones, so i don't need that yet
wicked kettle
Are you on blender?
silent warren
i see these things saying "select mesh then bone" but i must be hitting somethign wrong
ya
wicked kettle
After selecting both do CTRL+P and select automatic weights
silent warren
so i grab the part of mesh that i want
wicked kettle
Remember select the mesh first, then the armature
silent warren
please expand on "selecting both" because i must not be hitting the right buttons
wicked kettle
Right click the mesh, then while pressing shift right click the armature
viscid siren
the bones needs to be in pose mode
wicked kettle
And both, the mesh and the armature must be in object mode
viscid siren
either works
silent warren
i select the mesh, then go to post and select the bone, then set parent. no effect
*pose
silent warren
hm, that did something
wicked kettle
If it lags for a bit it’s working
silent warren
of course, the root of the tail makes the rest of the tail go incredibly janky
wicked kettle
That’s cause the tail is parented to the base
silent warren
can you be a bit more verbose? i'm only a couple days into blender here >_<

This is my model on Unity after I rigged him on Mixamo
It seens like Mixamo messed the UV Mapping, what can I do? :/

so guys after some weight paint - this is what still happens to one part of the mesh after rotaion
but the other one is fine
both are identical, settings, parenting, weight etc
i dunno

Can I import UV maps from 3DS Max to Unity?

I guess you can but I’m not familiared with 3DS Max

Check to make sure it didn't just assign the same material twice. I think you can fix your texture issue in Unity
I'm guessing you have one map for the body and one for the head?

Hey maya guys. Where is "Edit Mesh > Merge Components" in maya 2018?
Im not seeing it there and thats what autodesk website listed for it
Im going off this
"Model tears apart during animation, polygons are not connectedEdit
Open the model in a 3D Modeling studio such as Maya or Blender and make sure that you remove doubles for vertices to force nearby vertices to combine, thus joining nearby polygons.
You may need to combine multiple mesh objects (if available) into one single mesh object before removing doubles."

Guys I have a model where the head is split into 8 different meshes. I have done CTRL+J to join them but when rigging it breaks apart. Same with the torso which is partially split at the hips and down middle of chest. If I move the arm the torso splits into separate pieces. How do I fix this?
And I going to have to go in and manually merge vertices?
Am I*
It is not an MMD or anything, it is something I essentially had to piece together like a puzzle
viscid siren
yes you have to manually merge them, but if there are multiple verticles on top of eachothers you could just select whole then and enable "automerge editing" from the Mesh menu and then pressing the "remove doubles"
it merges the parts together
if doesn't work then do it manually

Hey peeps, I've made that model https://gyazo.com/8ac153e5cffac9752859e4dc91a3da61 and I want to make textures for it now. The model is basically a dozen objects at this moment and I wonder what workflow would be the best to make the textures for it. I'd want to make it so the textures are atlassed from the very beginning and AFAIK it is possible to make not overlapping UV maps for multiple objects on 1 texture file. Would you leave them as they are and paint them ( the textures will be made by hand) or join the meshes together now and then try and paint? ( I think it would make getting access to some parts of the mesh problematic). what do you think, i've never done anything like that before
viscid siren
moment i have just the addon for your problem
https://github.com/ndee85/Multi-Object-UV-Editing check this shit out
@spiral sigil ^
spiral sigil
ok, checking
Yeah it will help a lot getting the maps for it. I will be able to make the textures for each object individually with the rest hidden. When I'm done with the textures I will join the meshes into 1. Then I will rig it. What do you think, would that work? Or do you have a better idea
viscid siren
you don't have to join them as one mesh, you could just parent them and and have a proper weightpaint
spiral sigil
interesting, I thought weight painting for 1 mesh would be easier than a dozen objects
viscid siren
yeah it is easier, just thinking that it would be easier to fix invidual part if they are kept separated.
spiral sigil
OK, i'll try to keep them separated entirely for now
viscid siren
just make sure once you start rigging you select all the required meshes and then parenting them to the bone. Fixing the weight paint is the annoying part, just keep moving parts and paint away any color from that mesh that stretches when you don't want it to.

you would't have had to put the texture on in the blender, you could just have do that in unity :B
just import the model file in unity, then create a new material, put the image file in the albedo after first importing the file in unity too and then throw the material ball on the character

Connecting more than 4 vertices creates an n-gon. Game engines hate n-gons.
You should strive for quads, triangles if you need them, but no n-gons.

Ive been trying to weight the head, so after that when i rotated it for testing, this little section here moves along with it, even checked that i have not accientally painted it
ive checked the vertex groups as well and the selected head is not assigned with the tail
i have no idea whats causing this
viscid siren
there might slight paint on it, so just select possible bones and paint over it even tho you don't see any color on it.
spiral sigil
Ive tried
still doing this
It's only the head bone thats causing the problem
no other bones nearby are not causing it

you could try to remove all the weight from the bone adn then repaint only the wanted area

another vertex group you might have accidentally made?

isn't it supposed to be one thing to publish?
spiral sigil
did you reimport SDK?
rotund cape
np
viscid siren
resend the question to #avatars-2-general some people might know better, this is 3D-modelling channel :P

Hey I want to make parts of my model glow like neon tron style, how do I accomplish this?
viscid siren
you have to create an emission texture for the model
which is just an image where parts with color other than black corresponds with the area of the uv mapped area of your model
prisma jungle
are there any tutorials for building an avatar from pieces of models?
rotund cape
guys I've uploaded my model on to VRCHAT and I can see the avatar in game but I can see the model in the mirror
Just don't know why
agile cargo
what?
spiral sigil
highlight the edges and press f to fill in the holes?
frigid perch
Theres a fast way to fill all with out selecting singles under the faces tab in edit mode
coarse walrus
I imported a model and I recieved this error, it happens to all .mesh files that I used: https://imgur.com/a/51TOk DM me with a solution.
agile cargo
any one have the low poly weapon pack for unity

Anyone know why dynamic bone might not work for hair? I created dynamic bones for a cape and then did the same thing for each part of hair, but the hair doesn't move or react when I move the model.
hot hill
There's no "root" for the hair on this model that I could find. I just put it on the individual hair strands. Would I need to make a "root" bone for it?
spiral sigil
Well
Like a section of the hair has three bones for example, you'd pick the top
Would that work?
hot hill
There are individual hair pieces like this: http://nerdorable.net/misc/rance-hair.png
I just made a dynamic bone for each one. But they don't move.
There is a hair bone that is just labeled as hair. Even when I put a dynamic bone there it doesn't do anything.
hot hill
The ones I added for the cape work though. 
worthy cypress
anyone know how to rip meshes from one model and use them in another?
@stuck rain did you set the root bone in the dynamic bone script?
hot hill
I don't think I set a root bone. Maybe that is the step that I missed. I didn't do that for the cape though and it works.
Oh wait
No I did set root bones for the cape, I'm checking it now.
Well I'm a doof. Let me try it again and this time I'll set a root bone for the hair.
spiral sigil
OK really simple question but I don't feel like searching throughout tutorials and would rather a straight forward answer. When I go to edit mode on blender, how do I morph the faces/points to my will? I think it'll be easier to get the face I want this way than scult mode
viscid siren
select the verticle/line/face and press g and move
hot hill
When I set the root, I make that the hair I want to affect, right?
That's how I did it with the cape. I did that with the hair and it's the same thing -- no movement.

Any ideas how can I fix emotes? https://imgur.com/a/do1dd
worthy cypress
the heck
eager karma
I've been dabbling in Photogrammetry and I've came up with a semi-decent result, but only my head, I'm now wondering, how the hell do I model the body and 2nd, how de feck do i join the 2 yins?
spiral sigil
Any ideas how to fix the face textures? https://gyazo.com/bc03106b7651d669da48ef2d0fb42f07
spiral sigil
Is there a way to get a picture in blender so I can morph the face to the right shape?
spiral sigil
Thank you so much rubber ducker, you've been a huge help twice

Hey so im trying to Use Mantis LOD editior to reduce the polygons, Howeever on the right its not letting me change anything? https://gyazo.com/d67c526a4c16aa51a5faded9a3c31499
heavy pulsar
That tool hasn't been working for a week now. @pure loom
I
It continues to remain in upload mode whenever I try to use it.
pure loom
ahh ok
Well i scrapped that avatar and ran it with a claptrap
it didnt turn out too well
fast sentinel
Can anyone help me with texturing something in blender?
mental hemlock
anyone know my anime pls?https://imgur.com/a/NSoON

@pure loom Blender also has a decimate tool. I use it whenever mantis acts up
timid vine
if anyone starts working on the Devilman model let me know
spiral sigil
anyone god some good dynamic bones settings for hair

Slow and Steady progress, still nice and low at 7500 tris
The thought of decimating the hands any more makes me cringe

Ok, so, I am having the hardest time doing the simplest thing here: A cube (Or sphere), with textures only on the inside. You know how there are models where it's see-through/invisible on one side, textured on the other? I want that, but inverted! Invisible from the outside, textures on the inside. I can't for the life of me get my normals to invert the way I want them to in Blender, or maybe I'm skipping some very basic step. Any help here? Simple instructions for something that should be very easy?
hot flint
Have you tried flipping the normals?
hollow raven
select all, press space, type "make normals consistent". press space again, type "invert normals"
hot flint
As long as you have backface culling, it wont render the backs of the object
hollow raven
boom, inverted normals
deft briar
I have yes, and it doesn't seem to work. Me thinks I'm missing something simple (I've only begun messing with texturing in blender) but I'm not sure what.
hollow raven
also, backface culling is off by default
hot flint
also what dok said
deft briar
I'll check that out, thank you kindly
hot flint
😃
deft briar
You guys are the best <# Thank you. Now to see if it's possible to make the box invisible until your head is in it, but that'll be another adventure. @hot flint , @hollow raven , I appreciate the help!
hot flint
If I remember right, Unity has a Shader that allows you to have something the invisible all the way up until it's right up in your face
I don't know if you've ever experienced it in game, but there are a couple of character models that are meant to be horror related
They only appear when they're right in front of you
For something like that though, you would have to rely on somebody having personal space enabled
So keep that in mind if you're planning on making this on a player model and not in a world
