#

Either that, or make the model size quite large so that you don't have to get quite as close to them for them to be able to see it

deft briar Jan 21, 2018, 2:02 AM

#

@hot flint I'm familair with that texture, and I never thaught of using it for that. Great suggestion, and thank you ❤

hot flint Jan 21, 2018, 2:03 AM

#

I'm working on a few ideas that are pretty outside-the-box, lots of experimentation and potential in this kind of platform

#

You learn a lot when you force yourself to make models from scratch with no MMD

slow slate Jan 21, 2018, 2:05 AM

#

@hot flint Would you happen to know a safe way of modifying the topology of a mesh without ruining the rig?

#

Say I want to cut off some feet that don't need to be inside some boots, how would I go about safely cutting that content

hot flint Jan 21, 2018, 2:05 AM

#

I'd be more worried about you ruining the shape key

#

Are you talking about the decimation process?

slow slate Jan 21, 2018, 2:05 AM

#

or shape key (I'm a Maya guy coming to Blender for the first time, terminology is not my thing)

hot flint Jan 21, 2018, 2:06 AM

#

Okay, it's still totally doable

slow slate Jan 21, 2018, 2:06 AM

#

Decimation is reducing polygons? Yes but I'd rather by hand remove some specific parts I don't need

hot flint Jan 21, 2018, 2:06 AM

#

Click on the model in object mode and under the.... Ugh sorry I'm not in PC right now, just mobile

#

Hmm

#

Are you familiar with where the vertex groups are located?

slow slate Jan 21, 2018, 2:07 AM

#

Yeah

hot flint Jan 21, 2018, 2:07 AM

#

For when you do weight painting

slow slate Jan 21, 2018, 2:07 AM

#

Yeah I see them

hot flint Jan 21, 2018, 2:08 AM

#

I believe on that same panel you should see something for shape keys

#

While in object mode, be sure to highlight basis

#

Before you do literally any modifications in edit mode to any of the individual verts

#

If you happen to accidentally be on one of the other shape Keys, it will modify that shape key and not the original mesh

#

And things can get really, really screwy

slow slate Jan 21, 2018, 2:09 AM

#

Alright thanks

hot flint Jan 21, 2018, 2:09 AM

#

Please for the love of God, save a backup because this is irreversible

slow slate Jan 21, 2018, 2:09 AM

#

Yep, lol

#

Oh also, if I created some tris in certain places, is there an easy way to paint that back onto the correct joint?

hot flint Jan 21, 2018, 2:10 AM

#

Absolutely

#

The trick in accuracy is not painting at all

#

Instead, highlight the new verts in edit mode

#

Select the vertex group they belong to, adjust the weight slider, and click assign

#

This will prevent you from painting things unintentionally

#

I realized that was a very vague description, you'll have to forgive me hahaha

#

I can always go into more detail with screenshots when I get back to my PC, but I'm going to be out for a long time tonight

slow slate Jan 21, 2018, 2:14 AM

#

No problem, I'll play around with it, thanks for the help

#

Blender is a huge headache coming from Maya lol, it operates very differently

hot flint Jan 21, 2018, 2:15 AM

#

Many of the features seem to be far more manual than automated

#

For someone like me that's great, but not everybody plays the same way

#

If I'm ever dead on General chat here feel free to hit me up on DM

slow slate Jan 21, 2018, 2:17 AM

#

Alright

#

I understand the appeal of keybind spam, it's theoretically great

#

but I don't have the time or attention to memorize this stuff, so it's a total pain to me

hot flint Jan 21, 2018, 2:18 AM

#

I totally understand, before I knew some of the key bindings things were a lot slower and more tedious, but now that I'm getting the hang of things it's so so fast

#

This very first model of mine took about a month or so to get it ready and working for vrchat at a basic level, with basic shape keys and animations for idle blinking and breathing

#

If I were to do it all over again with what I know now, it would probably take me about half that time

slow slate Jan 21, 2018, 2:21 AM

#

Yeah

#

Hmm, would you happen to know why I can't rotate around a selected vertice in Edit Mode?

#

I can't rotate my camera at all

#

Only works outside of Edit Mode

hot flint Jan 21, 2018, 2:22 AM

#

Camera movement for me had been one of my biggest hang ups...

slow slate Jan 21, 2018, 2:22 AM

#

*Only seems to be an issue with Edit mode on a mesh, not on a rig

hot flint Jan 21, 2018, 2:23 AM

#

I use alt + left click since my middle mouse button is jacked

slow slate Jan 21, 2018, 2:24 AM

#

Same, that's the config for Maya

#

I swapped all the camera motion stuff to Alt instead of shift

hot flint Jan 21, 2018, 2:26 AM

#

Nice!

slow slate Jan 21, 2018, 2:26 AM

#

See but now I try changing Rotate View back to Middle Mouse and it still doesn't work

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

There we go, got it

Somebody else asked before, but I didn't understand the fix. How can I hide the model's head in First person?

#

I didn't find where you can hide the head bone

lapis needle Jan 21, 2018, 7:21 AM

#

@fathom tartan You can use clipping of some sorts. But the problem with that is if people get to close to your models head it is likely your head will disspear for them too.

fathom tartan Jan 21, 2018, 7:21 AM

#

Hard surface modeling is probably one the the most infuriating things for people who like to keep tri counts low

#

(i.e. guns, swords, etc)

fathom tartan Jan 21, 2018, 7:38 AM

#

@lapis needle is there a Bone Component that makes it?

lapis needle Jan 21, 2018, 7:38 AM

#

Im not sure what it is. I know a couple friends who it happens to them on accident. Your best bet is just to set the view further in front of your face so you dont see your head

hot flint Jan 21, 2018, 7:41 AM

#

Shape keys have absolutely nothing to do with Bones

#

In fact, they are a happy solution to some of the things bones cant solve on their own

#

however, keep in mind, if you plan on a major movement like a limb, bones stay in place even when a shape key is slid

#

The easiest way i can explain is as follows:

#

Bones are limited to how they can influence vertexs based on their rotation, scale, and position

#

Shape keys are COMPLETELY free-form

#

you can make a shapekey that could scale the entire model down into a few pixels, but wouldnt damage the mesh at all

#

Shape keys are like... hmm

tawny burrow Jan 21, 2018, 7:44 AM

#

@willow nova you could copy the mesh and scale it down probably. Other than that I don't know.

hot flint Jan 21, 2018, 7:45 AM

#

Idk how else to describe them, except that it's a set of orders given to specific verts to go from point A to point B

#

regardless of bones etc

12k tris doesnt seem too horrible either

#

unless that's JUST the turret for a full on tank

dark shadow Jan 21, 2018, 8:41 AM

#

I mod space engineers as a weapons modder

hot flint Jan 21, 2018, 8:41 AM

#

😮

dark shadow Jan 21, 2018, 8:41 AM

#

so the whole thing is a "block"

#

12k tris in a block is like half of what their assets have

hot flint Jan 21, 2018, 8:41 AM

#

sweet deal

#

I'm planning on modeling something... tricky.

#

I'm going to have a model with two "models" and one armature

#

tri economy is going to be very tight

dark shadow Jan 21, 2018, 8:45 AM

#

did I hear "decimate all the faces"

hot flint Jan 21, 2018, 8:46 AM

#

Hahah

#

My current actor is only 7k Tris

#

and has some decent detail

#

https://imgur.com/16KWEF8

Imgur

#

the only part i could really decimate more on would be the gloves, really

#

they're 1000 each, but boy are they going to have some complex movements

dark shadow Jan 21, 2018, 8:50 AM

#

limit is what

#

20k?

hot flint Jan 21, 2018, 8:50 AM

#

Aye

dark shadow Jan 21, 2018, 8:50 AM

#

you've got 13k to work with for the models and as long as they're not humanoid you should be good

hot flint Jan 21, 2018, 8:51 AM

#

That's the hard part

#

The second actor is probably gonna be another 7k tris

#

haaaah

#

and they both have weapons

dark shadow Jan 21, 2018, 8:51 AM

#

if I can make a US 16"/45 mk6 with tons of lifeboats and smoothed barrels with interiours and some minor details in 12k

#

you can make a pistol in 6k

hot flint Jan 21, 2018, 8:52 AM

#

2x pistols

#

but yes

dark shadow Jan 21, 2018, 8:52 AM

#

2 pistols 3k each

#

that's pretty generous

hot flint Jan 21, 2018, 8:52 AM

#

It's doable, definitely

#

You'd probably have a better idea of where to start tbh

#

Super simple shapes on that one that i showed too

dark shadow Jan 21, 2018, 8:52 AM

#

get reference images for the gun

hot flint Jan 21, 2018, 8:53 AM

#

well, that's about the most accurate available image to the style i want it in

dark shadow Jan 21, 2018, 8:53 AM

#

and then start with simple shapes and begin with looping and cutting, subdividing, etc

hot flint Jan 21, 2018, 8:53 AM

#

yep yep

#

I'll give you a ring if i need some input on the mesh for sure 😃

dark shadow Jan 21, 2018, 8:53 AM

#

hard surface is great because big faces can cover a LOT of ground

hot flint Jan 21, 2018, 8:54 AM

#

Oh absolutely!

#

Trouble with my shading style is that unless i use textures... I've gotta do two versions for each model, bake wise

dark shadow Jan 21, 2018, 8:54 AM

#

which is absolutely where I get lost on modeling people and soft surface stuff

#

always comes out looking really really bad

hot flint Jan 21, 2018, 8:55 AM

#

Yeeeahhhhhh.... It's so difficult to economize in soft serf

#

and have any sort of roundness

dark shadow Jan 21, 2018, 8:56 AM

#

I'm not worried about economizing soft surfaces

#

I'm worried about managing to not make it look bad with the literally unlimited faces I'm allowed for things not going in VRchat

#

So I want only part of the selected face to be a different color of the same texture

#

I know I could go through and knife in the geometry that I want a different color, but I feel like that's a bad method

And it would need a separate UV space for just that single face, I think

viscid siren Jan 21, 2018, 9:34 PM

you could make a new material, add a new image in teh and then assign it to the selected spot

#

Or is the problem that I'm doing an image as texture when it isn't the correct way?

viscid siren Jan 21, 2018, 9:35 PM

the image editing in blender is pretty limited, so you could take to different program

dry lava Jan 21, 2018, 9:36 PM

So, with the given image as texture, and the component placements, take it to GIMP or something to color as I see fit?

yes

Is it unusual for UV maps to be a few MB in size?

viscid siren Jan 21, 2018, 10:48 PM

#

no

spiral sigil Jan 21, 2018, 10:55 PM

#

hey guys.

#

How do you handle a model that is broken into a ton of parts. Like a low poly one what seperates faces all over the place? If i start joining the parts it will screw up the UV mapping / texturing.

#

Im about to say screw it and join the parts where I need them to and just retexture it in zbrush or something by poly painting it back on by projection or something

#

you could use this to join all the UV maps and still have the obejcts separated

spiral sigil Jan 21, 2018, 10:59 PM

#

When I use the model in vr chat the parts come apart when I move.

viscid siren Jan 21, 2018, 10:59 PM

#

ah you have to fix the weight paint on the parts

spiral sigil Jan 21, 2018, 11:00 PM

#

The model has the wrist and the hand and the plate armor all as seperate parts. Its anoying as heck

#

Like every other face is seperate

#

I guess I could group them and then weight paint them

viscid siren Jan 21, 2018, 11:30 PM

#

after the initial sculpting i'll decidemate the model atleast by 50-30% and the create then low poly model on top of the high poly

spiral sigil Jan 21, 2018, 11:30 PM

#

In Zbrush I just make a copy of high poly. Decimate that 1 down. UV it. The n Subdivide that one a few times and Project the high down to the low

#

When its somewhere I like I just normal map it in substance painter

viscid siren Jan 21, 2018, 11:31 PM

#

yeah doing normal map in substance gives a nice result

#

with this model i did create a basemesh first with shapes and then sculped the details on top of them, then UV mapped and shrinkwrapped the duplicated version of the basemesh on the high poly and then created the normal maps

#

because because base was still only 4k polys so i'll just added an another shrinkwrap and subdivison to get it more like the high poly

#

now it's 17k tris

spiral sigil Jan 21, 2018, 11:47 PM

Might end up redoing the entire lich king mondel using the game model as a base mesh.

So, my model was originaly a .nif model. I imported him on 3DS max but I'm not able to export his bones alongside the model. I used maximus and the rigging on the body with it is perfect, but I want the rig on the face as well
Can I copy the bones of the .nif model to the .obj model?
Here is the .nif model on 3ds max

You can use any 3d model program to create them

There are basic 3d model programs if yyou wanna create something simple

#

Use Google

#

3d paint?

#

You can try that

Paint 3d is really limited in what it can do if you have some time I would highly recommend just the core basics of blender

@worthy cypress you need to play around with parents and children. What I mean by that is setting the Knuckles head as the child of the head (the parent) so they're attatched

#

If it doesn't work with the head, try other body parts, like the hair or something

Running into an issue in unity, when I import the blender model and textures all the options for my materials become greyed out, making it so I can't toggle the render setting from transparent to opaque, any help in solving this would be appreciated!

spiral sigil Jan 22, 2018, 2:09 PM

#

have you gone to the materials itself? @craggy copper

craggy copper Jan 22, 2018, 2:14 PM

I believe so, I'm new to using unity and blender so when you say materials you mean the folder containing my textures correct?

ye

craggy copper Jan 22, 2018, 2:14 PM

have you dragged them onto your model?

How do you fix the camera for smaller models?

#

camera is as if it would be normal sized

dry lava Jan 22, 2018, 2:38 PM

#

Hopefully this isn't super long winded, but I'm trying to wrap my head around texturing and coloring a model.
If I wanted to paint sections of a model in Blender that don't match the geometry/mesh faces, I have to UV unwrap the components I wish to do that to, right?
Secondly, if I create a material for the components in blender, along with its own diffuse/glossiness, will those painted items take on that characteristic?

#

@dense lichen If you import the FBX of the sample avatar, you'll get an idea of how large your model needs to be

#

Or do you mean the view height?

dense lichen Jan 22, 2018, 2:40 PM

#

view height

#

when i load the model in vrchat the "camera" is way to long up over the model

dry lava Jan 22, 2018, 2:43 PM

#

You change that view in Unity

#

When you add the avatar description thing in the right hand side before an upload, there is a set of coordinates that shows up as a very small grey dot that you adjust the position

#

In Unity

#

You modify the coordinates of that dot to a satisfactory place

dense lichen Jan 22, 2018, 2:48 PM

#

what grey dot do you mean?

dry lava Jan 22, 2018, 2:49 PM

It's a small grey dot in the scene where you see your model just before upload

it worked fine in preview. everything looked great

and now, with everything set to standard and opaque

I get this shit

have you tried other shaders?

and no fucking idea how to reset it without starting over.

I've already added in dances and emotes, so i dont wanna start over..

I guess I can just never use shaders ever.

But honestly what could be the issue

spiral sigil Jan 22, 2018, 4:37 PM

wait save the project, import the model again, like put it next to it

#

add the desc and rig, try the model without any of the stuff added

lofty dust Jan 22, 2018, 4:37 PM

#

well

#

I tried that

#

if i reimport the fbx

it just assumes the colors of the old fbx

immediately.

dont use shaders with MMD models, it fucks everything

so I was applying it to the correctly named texture, but in actuality it wasnt the right one im thinking

#

Maybe?

there was mutiple textures so it would have mutiple ways to look

all you have to do to change the matertails texture is find the one you want to change then click it then press the little circle next to "main Textures"

looks like there are 7 diffrent eye colors to pick from

wireframe + depth so you see the vertexes behind it and use the are select (C i think) from inside the head to make sure you don't miss them

For anyone good in blender: A model I'm using has a backface culling issue where the other side of his apron is see through. Rendering it double sided doesnt help and if I flip normals it just reverses what shows

inland matrix Jan 23, 2018, 4:01 AM

#

@bold stone Ultimately I think as far as its eventual trip into unity goes, you have to use a double sided mesh shader. Otherwise you'd have to make a copy of the geometry you want double sided and invert the normals facing. Which is kind of an unwanted expendeture of geometry budget usually. 😐

and then click the - sign

Shape keys are basically used to make animations @dense meteor

If I set an object to have a specific material in Blender (with subsequent diffuse/glossy properties), will that transfer to Unity via FBX or a normal Blend file?

twin rapids Jan 23, 2018, 3:59 PM

any shader gods on that can direct me to the appropriate shader, i have scoured asset store cant figure it out. Need the background of the material to be unchanged with a cutout of lightning shape to overlay ontop. inside of the cutout needs to change color to the setting i need and rapidly. simulating midoriya's powerup charge before and during his smash in boku no hero academia. much appreciated thanks!

dry lava Jan 23, 2018, 4:01 PM

#

Like an emission overlay that omits all sections but the lightning?

twin rapids Jan 23, 2018, 4:01 PM

#

yes exactly

dry lava Jan 23, 2018, 4:02 PM

#

I have yet to explore that, but read about it.

#

I'm also not sure how to get a color change with it

twin rapids Jan 23, 2018, 4:02 PM

#

is it a complicated shader? It sounds so simple compared to what other ones do

dry lava Jan 23, 2018, 4:03 PM

#

As far as I know, emission overlays only work with the underlying color

#

Like, a green color from the atlas will give a green emission

#

If it's Unity based, I have no clue

#

But I know it's possible since I've seen rainbow stuff that progresses through ROYGBIV

#

Like that rainbow wendy avatar thing

dry lava Jan 23, 2018, 4:10 PM

Texturing in the sense of material properties, or texturing in the sense of how the mesh is colored or speckled?

Alright, haven't done this part yet--Is it even possible to decimate a model from 130k tris to <20k tris?

viscid siren Jan 23, 2018, 5:49 PM

#

it would take quite a bit of detail, so if the model doesn't have any normal maps yet you should make a duplicate of the current high poly and use it for creating normal map later for the decimated model

spiral sigil Jan 23, 2018, 5:50 PM

#

Hi, Im new to blender,unity and need some info. So i have a model with cat ears, but they are visible only when their shape key is 1.000 (they kinda growing from 0 to 1).
So i set slider to 1.000 (so they are fully visible) then imported to FBX, but in Unity i cant see them. What to do?

viscid siren Jan 23, 2018, 5:50 PM

#

so you kinda have the detail there

@viscid siren How much material editing experience do you have?

viscid siren Jan 23, 2018, 5:53 PM

#

I use substance painter.

dry lava Jan 23, 2018, 5:54 PM

#

Maybe I'll pose the question this way instead: Is it possible to assign a material (with its reflections/glossiness, etc) to an object and have those material properties transfer to Unity?

#

Err, assign in Blender

viscid siren Jan 23, 2018, 5:55 PM

#

they won't you would have to make different texture map for those and then put the texture in their rightful spot in the unity material

dry lava Jan 23, 2018, 5:56 PM

#

I don't mean textures/colors

#

I mean how the material reacts to lighting and such

viscid siren Jan 23, 2018, 5:56 PM

#

most those maps are grayscale

#

i'm exactly explaining that to you

#

they need their own texture images

#

for reference there is a roughness map, metalness map and ... well normal map

#

which mostly gives the detail that the models need

#

details and how much the light affects the material

dry lava Jan 23, 2018, 5:59 PM

#

So I would essentially want to create a flat color atlas, then bake each property onto the atlas? AO, diffuse, etc?

#

Or do you mean apply those roughness properties in Unity?

viscid siren Jan 23, 2018, 6:01 PM

#

http://poliigon.helpscoutdocs.com/article/30-what-are-texture-maps-for

dry lava Jan 23, 2018, 6:02 PM

#

Say I assign a metalness of 1 to a component in Blender, after I UV it, apply the color I want the finished metal to look like, I could bake a bunch of property layers as separate images to stack on the atlas in Unity?

#

That link is actually pretty useful.

#

My model isn't so complex that I need a normal map, though

viscid siren Jan 23, 2018, 6:03 PM

#

poliigon is a great site from which you can get some really good material textures

dry lava Jan 23, 2018, 6:04 PM

#

I figured it was, I just didn't know if I wanted to pay for some of those textures

#

barely scratching the surface of texturing, etc, so I didn't wanna deep dive right away

#

Plus, the free trial only lets you grab 1k x 1k textures

#

So if I just have a bunch of flat metal surfaces that I just want to seem somewhat polished/reflective, I could just bake a specular map onto my Atlas?

#

I don't have any sculpted "wear and tear" type stuff to necessitate a normal map

Yes, it will remove them by default. If you do want to keep them (not recommended), you'll need to adjust the settings in the bottom-left when you import the model.

dire marsh Jan 24, 2018, 12:18 AM

@radiant notch I don't know if it's for every model but if you enable backface culling in Blender you should see that happening and the way to fix it is to select the vertices that make a face and flip the normals

spiral sigil Jan 24, 2018, 12:40 AM

#

@worldly topaz the problem is unity (and most games) only render one side of a polygon, to skip all the polys you only see the back of

#

one solution is making the cape double layered in blender and having the normals on each layer point outwards

#

another one is using the toonshader's outline to force double sided rendering in unity, making both sides of the single layer visible

#

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back-face_culling

Back-face culling

In computer graphics, back-face culling determines whether a polygon of a graphical object is visible. It is a step in the graphical pipeline that tests whether the points in the polygon appear in clockwise or counter-clockwise order when project...

Hot

#

In edit mode you can select all the edges around the opening and press f to "fill hole". You can also press K for the knife tool if you want to... make any edges.

#

Maybe try that not sure if theres some better way

i need some help with unity, trying to add weapons (non functioning) to my model

hey i have a question, does anybody knows how to draw on texture, for exemple i want to draw a dick on my model's forehead, how can i do it

#

You'd find that the texture for your models forehead and draw on the image file... But I doubt that's allowed nor should you do it unless if you were referring to that as "an example"

#

yeah i was referring to that as an exemple ofc lol

#

Do you know how to open the image file and edit it? Was that your question?

#

i dont know i didnt even try its hard to find the texture that i want to draw on

#

its messy

#

Just look for similar features of the characters forehead?

#

i dont really want to draw on it i just wanna put a picture on my chest but i cant find it so messy

#

You should attempt to look for it

#

so after i find it i need to click on it and then draw and save ? will it work

#

Yes as long as the file name and type stays the same...

#

But you should save a copy of the original texture so that you don't lose it

#

alright ill try to do what you said thanks for the help

#

dammit i have to use photoshop to place a picture on the texture

#

Do you have photoshop

#

I mean it would make sense to use an image manipulating software to edit an image

#

Need help in blender

#

Can you be more specific

steel quest Jan 24, 2018, 4:43 AM

ive somehow broken my model XD

The pmx file is fine in pmxeditor, also before i switched to fbx it looked fine in blender

If anyone has experience with blender and unity pm me or privet call if you could. 😄 would be apprieciated

tender geode Jan 24, 2018, 4:45 AM

It was til i put it into unity as a fbx and put some textures i noticed all the blendshapes were mushed together

steel quest Jan 24, 2018, 4:45 AM

#

i have a similar problem sort of lmao

#

i edited a model to remove pieces that wouldnt cooperate and i could do without and when i improt to unity its broke af lol

tender geode Jan 24, 2018, 4:46 AM

#

You removed what pieces?

steel quest Jan 24, 2018, 4:47 AM

#

i was attempting to upload an evelynn avatar and the newer eve has these like flosting "Tails" but they just stick out straight instead of float behind her so i removed the verts of the tails to remove them

#

leaving only the character itself

tender geode Jan 24, 2018, 4:48 AM

#

Do you not have dynamic bones?

steel quest Jan 24, 2018, 4:48 AM

should

#

i didnt mess with anything else in the model

when i imprt the original "with tails" its fine

tender geode Jan 24, 2018, 4:48 AM

No, do you have the dynamic bones unity pack?

Is there a guide or something on merging meshes without them losing their proper texturing or UV maps? Every time I combine meshes all but the base part they were merged into lose their texture mapping

Hey what do i do to keep my model from falling throught the floor

hot hill Jan 24, 2018, 8:28 AM

#

Someone told me just now that VRChat devs have stated they intend to up our polygon limit from 20k to 60k. Can anyone confirm this?

tender geode Jan 24, 2018, 8:28 AM

#

Yes

#

Its a well known thing thats been spoken about

#

When it'll happen I dont know

hot hill Jan 24, 2018, 8:29 AM

#

Do you know where they wrote/said it? I just have a difficult time believing they would up it to that. Even 20k moving verts seems like a lot to render?

tender geode Jan 24, 2018, 8:29 AM

#

Uhhhh no its not

#

honestly they can bump it to 64999 and everything would be fine

#

as long as you dont get models at or above 65k there should be no issues

hot hill Jan 24, 2018, 8:30 AM

#

Even with 20+ people to a map?

shy tartan Jan 24, 2018, 8:32 AM

#

There's explicitly FAQs saying that the devs have no plans to up the limit, its one of the most common rumors and it's got no truth to it. 20k is more than enough anyway

safe flume Jan 24, 2018, 8:34 AM

#

20k becomes a problem because the majority of the models are converted from MMD and those models aren't made with gaming optimization in mind.

hot hill Jan 24, 2018, 8:52 AM

@spiral sigil @shy tartan Thank you

winged shuttle Jan 24, 2018, 8:57 AM

#

@tender geode Learn base two.

#

It's 65536, but since 0 is a number, max is 65535, but because they use a < instead of a = it should be limited to 65534.

tender geode Jan 24, 2018, 8:59 AM

#

Oh okay

winged shuttle Jan 24, 2018, 9:00 AM

65536 is 2^16 or 256*256.

I have a question when it comes to legs
I'm planning to create another avatar with a character who has legs of an creature (as shown in image)
When it comes to rigging the bones in unity, should I pick the 1st or 2nd option? Do I have to create some sort of animation for them if they dont work out? I've seen people have raptor avatars n such

@sand hemlock Frills having issues may be because of transparencies in the frills which is fixed by setting up Cubed's Flat Lit Toon shader properly

mortal leaf Jan 24, 2018, 3:07 PM

#

Hello, I have a problem importing a model from Maya to Unity. The model looks ok in Maya but in Unity it has transparent parts depending on camera position. That means I can view the texture from it's back. If someone had this issue, assist me please. Thanks

cobalt willow Jan 24, 2018, 3:16 PM

#

@spiral sigil I suppose the first option would be how to do it. If it helps this is how my avatar is rigged and it works really well https://i.imgur.com/64Zg5nZ.png

Imgur

small cloud Jan 24, 2018, 3:16 PM

#

@mortal leaf add tinted outline set to 0 and white in cubeds shader, or you can use double sided shader

#

or add Cull Off in shader you are using (can send screen where to)

cobalt willow Jan 24, 2018, 3:16 PM

#

Though my models legs aren't as extreme as in your example

spiral sigil Jan 24, 2018, 3:17 PM

well im still figuring out how the legs works

@mortal leaf yeah or that, i find it easier to put cull off in shader if i dont use cubeds rather than flipping normals

Hi all, i have a model with cat ears, but they are visible only when their shape key slider is set to 1.0

Anyone know how to apply a color correction map in 3dsmax? And how to apply colors that will translate over to blender and unity?

Hello, nerds! I heard there are some experts here on 3D modeling.
This is my model https://a.uguu.se/GFYQqHc5BMuW.png
It does not have any jaw bone, but it does have lip bones. Can I get visemes to work?

indigo sedge Jan 24, 2018, 6:43 PM

#

@spiral sigil
in unity go to the left side where the hierarchy is. go to body and open blendshapes on the right side. you can see the shape keys in that window. put the one for ears to 100 and done

spiral sigil Jan 24, 2018, 6:50 PM

@indigo sedge Omg, u saved me, ❤ Thank you!

Hope this is the correct place for this question, but: I'm trying to acheive a certain texture effect on Blender and having difficulty. You know that sort of plaid effect, like the texture is unmoving on a separate "layer"? Like the model that has it is a window to the texture? I hope that makes sence; Any way to acheive this?

its a obj file i cant get it to add the textures do i need to export it as a fbx then start working on it and rigging it?

dry lava Jan 24, 2018, 7:26 PM

#

Nah, you can work on it right away, though I'd save it as a blender file while you work

#

As for texturing and rigging, unless you have a separate Atlas or UV map file, you'll have to make all that from scratch

desert anvil Jan 24, 2018, 7:28 PM

i have jpg texture files i just dont know how to apply them to the model

dry lava Jan 24, 2018, 7:31 PM

Google for applying texture maps in Blender

Easier to see how it's done rather than explain it here

I need someone who is good with blender to possibly help me one on one with my model's issues x~x

dry lava Jan 24, 2018, 7:34 PM

What specifically?

sand hemlock Jan 24, 2018, 7:35 PM

#

I'm the one with the frills issue, the facing's are acting up and all that https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/405489889467957259/405568826676084739/unknown.png

#

I've tried many suggestions, I've tried different ways of exporting, I've messed with random settings... I don't know blender and its driving me crazy :<

dry lava Jan 24, 2018, 7:38 PM

#

The frills are doing what?

#

Stacking on each other?

#

Or is the geometry of the mesh inconsistent?

sand hemlock Jan 24, 2018, 7:40 PM

#

I'm not sure what you would call it, the faces flip but when I flip them back over they look like the previous image https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/405489889467957259/405808812805718026/unknown.png

dry lava Jan 24, 2018, 7:40 PM

#

You mean, flipping the normals?

sand hemlock Jan 24, 2018, 7:41 PM

#

Yea that, not faces my bad

dry lava Jan 24, 2018, 7:41 PM

#

What is it supposed to look like?

sand hemlock Jan 24, 2018, 7:42 PM

#

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/405489889467957259/405809617801838592/unknown.png It looks fine in Mixamo

dry lava Jan 24, 2018, 7:43 PM

#

If you're flipping the normals, what might be happening is that since that mesh is non-manifold, it just reverses them all

#

So you might have to select each face you want to be facing outwards

sand hemlock Jan 24, 2018, 7:44 PM

#

I have done that

#

the image I showed first is what it looked like afterwards, every normal I flipped was not the right color/texture or something. Gave this weird triangular choppy graphic

dry lava Jan 24, 2018, 7:46 PM

#

Have you changed the geometry at all that the texture atlas can't properly color that geometry?

sand hemlock Jan 24, 2018, 7:46 PM

#

I don't know what that is lol

dry lava Jan 24, 2018, 7:47 PM

#

Have you moved or resized any of that frill mesh?

sand hemlock Jan 24, 2018, 7:47 PM

#

None

#

I've only flipped and yesterday I tried duplicating to have it on both sides, but both came out with that first image

dry lava Jan 24, 2018, 7:48 PM

#

If you hide everything but the frill, and wire frame it, is it all triangles?

sand hemlock Jan 24, 2018, 7:49 PM

#

hide everything but the frill and wire frame? What do you mean?

dry lava Jan 24, 2018, 7:50 PM

#

Select all but the frill, hit "h", then hit "z" in Blender

#

Not in edit mode, mind you

#

Object mode

sand hemlock Jan 24, 2018, 7:51 PM

#

If you are talking about how it looks as the wire frame, it looks normal

dry lava Jan 24, 2018, 7:53 PM

#

Is the frill mesh a bunch of triangles, or are there quads?

sand hemlock Jan 24, 2018, 7:53 PM

#

Triangles

dry lava Jan 24, 2018, 7:54 PM

#

Do the triangles that comprise the mesh match up with the visual problems you see?

sand hemlock Jan 24, 2018, 7:54 PM

#

Wait, I see quads too actually

#

Oh, yea it seems its a mix of quads and tris that are randomly missing/flipped (I guess?)

dry lava Jan 24, 2018, 7:58 PM

#

That's what my guess was

#

Since it's just a flat mesh, it doesn't know what's inside and outside

#

So you've gotta comb over the whole mesh to flip what you want to be outside

#

I think

sand hemlock Jan 24, 2018, 7:58 PM

#

I've done that

dry lava Jan 24, 2018, 8:00 PM

#

Tried viewing the textures to see if that's being impacted in Blender?

#

I know it was weird in Unity

sand hemlock Jan 24, 2018, 8:01 PM

#

How do I add the textures to the model in Blender? lol

dry lava Jan 24, 2018, 8:01 PM

#

It's easier to just look that bit up than explain it

#

Since I'd be explaining UI elements

sand hemlock Jan 24, 2018, 8:02 PM

#

Alright

dry lava Jan 24, 2018, 8:02 PM

#

Sorry

sand hemlock Jan 24, 2018, 8:14 PM

#

I couldnt get the texture on it for some reason, it just stayed blank white, but using Cats from a previous attempt gave me this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/405489889467957259/405817504867287041/unknown.png

dry lava Jan 24, 2018, 8:17 PM

#

I swear those normals look flipped randomly

sand hemlock Jan 24, 2018, 8:18 PM

#

It seems like it only happens in Blender is what I have been noticing

dry lava Jan 24, 2018, 8:18 PM

#

I don't know the solution, my man. Sorry.

#

Stumped myself without messing with it

#

Might be a shading thing with those textures

#

With a normal map

#

It looks like its flattening the normal map or something

sand hemlock Jan 24, 2018, 8:21 PM

#

Hmm, well thanks for trying. If it means anything, the model is from Models-Resource, PS3 model. Idk if that helps

dry lava Jan 24, 2018, 8:21 PM

#

Or the AO map got fucked

sand hemlock Jan 24, 2018, 8:23 PM

#

Would someone be willing to make me dummy fingers with the model then? B/c I dont think it'll be possible for me, unless Maya is a good alternative to try?

dry lava Jan 24, 2018, 8:27 PM

#

You mean bones?

sand hemlock Jan 24, 2018, 8:28 PM

#

Yea, the whole reason I need it in blender is to give it dummy fingers

dry lava Jan 24, 2018, 8:28 PM

#

Oh, that's cake

#

Do you have an armature in Blender with the model?

sand hemlock Jan 24, 2018, 8:28 PM

#

Yes

dry lava Jan 24, 2018, 8:29 PM

#

So you don't have all 5 fingers or something?

sand hemlock Jan 24, 2018, 8:30 PM

#

Yea, thats my issue, but I can't get it into blender without those normals being messed up on the frills

dry lava Jan 24, 2018, 8:31 PM

#

I don't know if you can add bones in Unity, but it's pretty easy in Blender

sand hemlock Jan 24, 2018, 8:32 PM

#

I think I've already added the bones before, but like I said it screws with the model and I don't want to run around looking like a choppy avatar :<

dry lava Jan 24, 2018, 8:32 PM

#

Fair enough

sand hemlock Jan 24, 2018, 8:34 PM

#

I noticed something, the model I auto-rigged with Mixamo and the one I put into blender and added the dummy fingers to have different tris and verts values

fading dust Jan 24, 2018, 8:37 PM

#

Anyone knows a plugin or a way to only select outer edges of a mesh? I want to dissolve the inner part of the mesh but the outer must stay original otherwise there will be holes in the model.

dry lava Jan 24, 2018, 8:42 PM

#

You can select the faces you want to delete in Blender, and hit "x" and select delete faces only

#

That should leave the edge lines to fill in however you please

https://imgur.com/a/tbbLM so my hands were originally skin colored go figure but they wont work right after atlasing. following tupper's tutorial i go to fix shadow stuff and these steps occur. Also, on my texture atlas the hands literally show up as 1 pixel

Anyone else having issues with emissive materials lighting working within the engine but not in VRChat?

Google is sending me in loops - I am a completely novice/noob at unity - I imported a model I rigged in Mixamo and need to assign it back its textures but the material on all the meshes is named the same, so naturally the texture changes on parts change everything. I used control+D to duplicate the material and then named each material differently and now want to replace the materials on the meshes with their new named ones so i can give each a unique texture, is this even possible in Unity or have I done this backwards?

@rigid wraith Nah that's face normals, usually if you want to check that out within blender go into edit mode and in your tab to the right there should be three little cubes, if you click the face one and increase the length you should see which way your faces are facing, that's not my issue

@rigid wraith i dont know if your issue was resolved. sometimes unity is not able to read color in the texture files properly. converting to another fileformat (e.g. png) can help. i guess this might be related
