Very nice
#3d-modeling
empty turret
https://imgur.com/a/wvbZh here's what I got so far. It's gonna be a pain to work with every step of the development process but I'm pretty determined. Also I still need to block out the hair.
dry lava
This might be more of a process question than anything. If my model's topology is halfway decent in terms of edge loops and such to modify, should I do a limited dissolve of the useless stuff prior to UV unwrapping?
My model is more than 20k, but I know doing a limited dissolve can get it to 17k or so
For reference. https://i.imgur.com/Xv8XUa7.png
I figure the best thing is to have a model that has the geometry you want, save that separately in case you need to come back to modify any of the geometry, then continue with some kinda optimization for texturing and rigging?
dry lava
I just didn't know if it was normal to keep all the topology for modification when you start having to do the larger steps
I suppose the biggest step is being satisfied with the "modifiable" model before taking the leap to UV and texture, etc.
viscid siren
you could try to merge some useless lines from those flat areas, you don't need that many unless you are planning to animate those parts
dry lava
What other optimization techniques are used other than the non-destructive limited dissolve, or the destructive decimation
Those lines are used on other faces for things
viscid siren
enable "autoMerge Editing" from the Mesh menu and selec the verticle/edge and double gg and move it on other line so they merge
dry lava
I try to keep all my edge loops, well, loops.
Won't that break those loops from being modified?
viscid siren
not sure what you are planning with those loops, but the don't affect the UV or texture at all if they are on flat surface
dry lava
Isn't it kinda standard practice to keep loops as loops?
At least, for the modification process
I don't like knifing randomly onto a face
sonic nimbus
To really optimize your polycount you should combine any vertices that do not change the profile of your mesh.
viscid siren
that i mean
dry lava
Which is basically a limited dissolve across the mesh, right?
sonic nimbus
If the mesh is not going to deform it doesn't need nice topology.
dry lava
Since that just takes out any unnecessary vertices
sonic nimbus
That might work.
I haven't tried it myself.
Alternatively you can just slide all of the extra edge loops on top of each other and remove duplicates.
dry lava
There is geometry that depends on the placement of those loops
Which is why they are all there
viscid siren
on the whole loop just keep all the parts which creates the outline of the model, all the other you can just merge
viscid siren
do it by hand, that is bad
sonic nimbus
You don't really want to create ngons but they'll just get converted to triangles anyways.
dry lava
How is that bad?
I don't see too many ngons
The mesh isn't going to move
That tool alone took that mesh from 9k to 2.7k
viscid siren
As TCL just said it creates Ngons. It's all just for the optimization of your model,.
timid vine
@hidden pilot http://roestudios.co.uk/project/3d-pokemon-models/ make sure the models are rigged
dry lava
@viscid siren I'm still being destructive to the mesh if I'm merging edges and stuff manually, aren't I?
The tool I used is just a quick way to be rid of all, non geometrical defining topology
viscid siren
you really don't destroy anything as long your overall topology stays the same, but cleaner in parts that doesn't need any excessive edges
dry lava
My mesh's geometry stays the same with that dissolve I did.
hidden pilot
@timid vine not rigged, shows up as white in mixamo too
viscid siren
yes, but now it's less manageable, and if you start putting it somewhere else which doesn't support ngons, you would be screwed, unity thankfully creates tris from that for you.
frail viper
anybody have any clue what this ALP format is
and how its converted to FBX/PMX
Im finding them everywhere recently but nothing informing on how to actually utalise it
dry lava
@viscid siren Thanks for the insight. If I plan on sticking to just Blender and Unity, I should be fine?
sonic nimbus
@dry lava You can just add a triangulate modifier to it if you need to use it any where else.
dry lava
Oh yeah, true
timid vine
@hidden pilot then you'll have to rig the models
hidden pilot
im assuming youtube is my friend for that?
dry lava
On 1.5 or 2x, yes
dry lava
It doesn't
timid vine
@hidden pilot ye
dry lava
You would have to rely solely on animations if you wanted the model to move/turn/strafe
timid vine
@dry lava it does but the process is really tedious
viscid siren
you can make 4 legged models, but you ahve to create custom animations for the walking
dry lava
@timid vine Do you mean weight painting the rear legs to match the front?
hidden pilot
anyone accepting commissions?
dry lava
Ok. I just wasn't sure if that's something so frequently asked that this channel just does it based on the text
hidden pilot
only the user can edit their own messages
it isnt possible as an admin
how much would something like that cost?
dry lava
You mean, to do a bunch of custom animating for a quadraped?
dry lava
If I had to hazard a guess - and I'm not in the industry by any means - I'd say no less than $200 just due to time investment
hidden pilot
wew i am in the wrong business
dry lava
I mean, there are professionals out there that do this for a living
hidden pilot
yeah I know
dry lava
Depending on the person, creating art and stuff like this is always more expensive than people think

@ruby raptor A bit late, but if you use the Blender add-on CATS, you can auto generate visemes, though it's not always as good as doing it yourself

I have CATS already, but I can't create "new" visemes off models that don't have it baked into the mesh? Like non-mmd models (take XNALara for example) don't have the "Ah" visemes etc so you can't select and create them.let alone when I use my own models 😃

is there like an easy way to add 2textures on a plane without blender nodes?
different texture on each side*

mental blaze
I wish I had a better suggestion, but I never had to do something like that before.
It's not hard

if it removes tris, then i'll check it out
small cloud
i mean, could prob just duplicate this bag, 700 tris, can strip it down to like 400
then save those 400 inbetween joints on legs and hands
mental blaze
Ok
small cloud
so i just duplicate, flip normals
and apply texture?
or does it need to be scaled down a bit
mental blaze
Yeah, assign a material to that area
Well, experiment on the results
I can't really picture it
small cloud
if I'll be using 2 sided shader, the area will not flicker due to overlapping faces?
mental blaze
Not sure.
small cloud
if it does then gotta scale down the duplicate
mental blaze
I was expecting a 1 sided shader for that
Since its viewable on the inside of the backpack
small cloud
well true, can apply just 1 sided shader on that material
ill see how it goes, thanks for the help

tranquil pawn
is this a place where i can get assistance for textures for a 3d model i made? saving alphas, importing alphas into unity, having them work properly within unity? that sort of stuff.
tranquil pawn
alright, well how can i get photoshop to actually save alpha settings without it yelling at me "must be saved as copy"? I dont understand this as it is really inconsistent and just seems to only work when it chooses to. Second, the last png i imported into unity didn't work properly. it was not transparent even when switching the shader to cutout, or transparent. I had to mess with the albedio/metallic alpha settings but then it looked all shiny and was not really transparent. So how do i go about making it work properly?
mental blaze
go to the texture import settings and check alpha transparency
then go and make a material and assign it as transparent along with assigning the albedo slot with your texture.
tranquil pawn
alright, thanks. ill do that next time i import.

@bronze barn Depends if you want a more Sci-Fi or Cyberpunk feel. Creating exposed actuators, or obvious mechanical joints can make it look 'tougher' or more industrial. Clean lines and soft glowing seams can make it sci-fi. I like the gritty Cyberpunk look myself. fairly anatomic but a few seems.

Hey guys, I'm trying to get an avatar down to less than 20,000 tris however the hair has lots of small parts of the hair weaving in and out of eachother, is there any command I can use to get rid of the unseen parts or will I have to do it manually?
hot hill
When I imported the model I did separate by selection. I think the panes of glass are one of the things that got separated. This is for a prop for a map, not a character model.

Tupper did an excellent video on manual texture atlasing. just don't delete the material you want to keep separate when you do it.

excuse me, In blender I texture painted parts of my avatar to what I wanted, but I don't know how to apply that same texture/material to my avatar when it is in Unity. Please help?
toxic belfry
When you export from Blender to FBX, drag the textures you're using into the assets, then the FBX and it should automatically grab them and make the required materials.

yeah but I made a new texture with the blendure texture paint tool, not sure how to save that as a new texture though.

@heavy fjord I don't think that's an extra hand, it looks like its just a piece of the hand

well, the vertex group with the "piece" has a fully modeled pointing finger, while the other 2 are pretty much just the fingers
I'm just completely lost right now
ok, im taking an alternate route to this
i got an alternate model that had seperate meshes for each hand (all of the meshes were complete hands btw) separated them from the rest of the model, and imported them into this project, but i can't join them to the main model without the main model becoming disconnected from the rig and losing all the textures

Welp just ended up using an hour to make my model into a T-pose
Since I knew that was the problem all along but tried to deny it

So in weight paint mode, you select the head bone of the armature. That'll show you the vertices it influences. The one's sticking out of the shoulder in that might have some color other than dark blue, and you can use a brush the remove the influence. Tutorial videos would be easier to learn from.

So I have a model with missing bits of his clothes when imported on blender. I was able to make the faces appear on the mesh through blender but it screwed some other stuff, like it made his glasses disappear and his hands were all weird, also the texture on the places were the polygons were not appearing messed up.
But my model is kinda weird on blender. On object mode he is normal (but still with the clothes messed), but on edit mode he goes upside down and he rotates, while the armature stay on the same place. Also, on edit mode he goes back to his pose pre Mixamo, not the t-pose that I setted when I downloaded him from Mixamo.
Is there a fix for this issue? I had finally made the lip sync of my character work and now this happened D:
Also, on paint 3D the exported .fbx model from blender apparently opens normally (although it opens withouth the textures so I can't know for sure if everything is ok on it)

If I understand your question, no. You only ever need bones with skinned meshes (creatures, people and things that need to move with more detail than just the position and rotation)

Yes, switch the shader to 'cutout' unless you mean a nice smooth alpha gradient. Cutout should cover the vast majority of what you need.

I've been very inactive but for those of you who design models, here's a tutorial on proportions I did. It says it's for drawing, but it works on modelling too! https://corniival.deviantart.com/art/TUTORIAL-Easy-Proportions-728468092?ga_submit_new=10%3A1517385286

Very much worth noting, if you either intend the model for full-body tracking, or simply want good 1:1 VR:Real matching, avoid anime proportions if possible

If I want a specific texture such as the eyes to glow in game, how can I do that in unity?

make sure the eye has a separate material thats not used by anything else
slim summit
Id just have a glow shader or a single emission particle in the eye
vast kite
@spiral sigil i have the eyes texture atlased
vast kite
how do I do that
spiral sigil
atlassing is good but you need control over the eye material only
slim summit
if its atlas just do a particle emission, less materials is better
vast kite
@slim summit id prefer to make the texture glow because I have textures on it
spiral sigil
when the mesh is separated copy the atlas material, before exporting set the eyes to the copied material
particles for glowing eyes is bad practise and bad for performance
slim summit
worse than having an extra material?
spiral sigil
two particle systems doing nothing
yes
because its cpu not gpu calculating the particle positions
slim summit
oh fair enough
spiral sigil
I love particles but using them for static eyes is overkill 😉
slim summit
I saw some guywho added a trail to the praticle in his eyes. made it look dope

making one material emissive is the way to go

particles*
spiral sigil
yeah for trails it would make sense to use them

less is more 😄
Or make a separate texture that only has the eyes, in the same position as the albedo
And use that for emission

What would be the best way to go about creating a translucent surface that actually lets people somewhat see through it (possibly with some refraction-like effects), but isn’t too faint to make out in the first place?
For instance, I could use the Fade option on the material
But that usually ends up making it disappear altogether
Or become incredibly faint
I want it to be a very vibrant color, but transucent
Sort of like say, stained glass would be
Or colored crystals
Like emerald or amethyst or things like that for example
Not really sure what other options there are, as I’m fairly new to 3D modelling. Was wondering if there even was a decent solution that could work in VRChat.
An at-mention would be nice for anyone who replies to this, since I might not notice it otherwise. Thanks again in advance!

The black spots are there even without any textures. With textures, it brightens up some parts of mesh, seemingly randomly. I have no idea why it does that. The only thing I did in Blender was split the arm a the shoulder, rework the bones a little and apply weight paint. The black spots problem was actually there even without editing imported fbx model at all. The spots also fade away and disappear when rotating camera view in Blender.
Any idea what could cause this thing?

normals in bad direction
click mesh go to edit mode/uv tab
recalculate
flip if needed
nocturne zealot
Will that break existing textures?
@spiral sigil Sorry, but where do I find the UV tab?
@spiral sigil I think I found it, but nothing happens when I press either recalculate or flip direction
nocturne zealot
Still the same problem
eternal crow
now how do i attach the meshes again?

Wtf, i try to texture my model and when i drag a texture onto a part i have selected, it applies the texture to the wrong mesh

hello guys im new. Do you know a good tutorial?

hey guys, I tried decimating the mesh in Blender and ended up with a weird part of the mesh around the neck. It's a camo-like parttern of dark splotches. Any ideas on how to fix it?

how i can select an two eyes as left and right in blender? the model only have two eyes as left eye

anyway to reverse a shape key? I did it backwards
so like my 100 value should be the basis

How would i make a multiple material and texture for uv mappinh

Quick question
How do I apply the rainbow effect to models?
Like where it slowly flows through the colors?
slim summit
Thats a shader
forest orchid
Okay so I have an Ahri Arcade model
In unity it shows up green
How do I apply the shader?
slim summit
There are hue shifting shaders and noenoe shaders you can use
You go into the material in unity and select a new shader
forest orchid
After that? Can I can control how fast it goes?
And I don't want just the outline, but like her whole tail
tails*
slim summit
The ui control of shaders are all different but you can tinler around with the values and see what happens in play mode
It also matters if the tail has a seperate material or not
forest orchid
It does have a seperate material
slim summit
Then find a rainbow shader, like noenoe online or a hue shifting shader online and import that to your unity project
Then apply tje shader to the material and tinker with the values in play mode
forest orchid
It comes with an animated rainbow mesh I think though
Oh nvm
It's png file
It comes with an FX for tails

Hey guys I made a model which should have 2 different colours how can I do that the easiest way ?
spiral sigil
is there something grotesqueilly wrong in your opinion?
Because I can't make up my mind
don't look at textures, its just placeholder materials

Does anyone know how to unlock view offset in blender

Can anyone tell me what is this error? https://i.imgur.com/nOHa6Ku.jpg

can someone help me please?

What is the problem, Sayori? I don't have much experience with modeling yet, but if I and the others know the situation, we should be able to help.
Oh, and has anyone here tried using Heroforge to make models yet? It would seem helpful for making quick bases.

deleting verts is such an ass
is there a way i can mirror the effects here if the other side is a mirror?
same mesh
or is there a way to quickly select all visible verts (not through another mesh) and exclude any verts that connect to the outside
okay i figured it out
but
can someone tell me what mirror modifiers to apply please?
i did all the options
works fine in blender and unity
i guess that's fine then

my model has these missing model parts or something on the wheels and in some other places. The pictures look fine and everything but the model doesn't in unity. I can't edit it in blender either so that's out of the question.

dusky glacier
I can apply different textures to different parts of the model but the model is just one piece
it starts off missing the wheels and the gun like this
putting it into online program that converts .blend to obj didn't fix it either
spiral sigil
have you gone and seperated the mesh by materials?
dusky glacier
can i do that without blender?
dusky glacier
blender doesn't agree with my gpu and just gives me a black screen
dusky glacier
or if i do manage to get it to work, it runs Extremely slow
like 15sec to do everything including pressing buttons
dusky glacier
nah it's not that important, i just want a tank that i can fight ugandan knuckles tanks with :p
spiral sigil
hahha alright
dusky glacier
switched to the german tiger as it doesn't have any model problems

What is the skinned mesh renderer in unity and what are the bounds and extents in there?
why do my extents and bounds come in all completely out of whack

Is there any good tutorial on editing models, like replacing clothes? Like MMD ones.

I have only really attempted through PMX though results may vary
Biggest pain is leg clothing imo

Any idea why my face is transparent when using fade rendering mode? When I use cutout, I lose detailes like hair shadow and blush.

anyone know why when i try to upload my new avatar from unity, it switches to game mode and the screen to input the avatar name, description and upload button are all in the unity game scene and i cant input or press the upload button?

@elfin agate change rendering mode to cutout and change it to 0.01

How I fix this? I tried a tutorial and didnt work https://i.imgur.com/mnPb0XK.jpg
@spiral sigil I just deleted one object I didn't like (but was attached to the body) and yep, it looks like all is messed up , I've tried to fix it but I don't find any solution.

http://prntscr.com/i9kl1f how do I attached the ears to the catears armature because i just realized thats where they really go....afte unhiding the armature...sorry i'm still learning and can't find video or anyone in vrchat to help me with this...
safe flume
Do they move when you pose the ear bones? If so you don't technically have to move them. 😄
but if you go into edit mode, you can select the bone and move it into place
if they don't move when you pose the bone, you're going to discover the joys of weight painting.
desert ferry
just a question, guys... do you know how to remove a bone/texture attached to the body? if I do that using C and delete I get so much errors after that. I guess I should unattach it and then I can delete it, but I don't know how
nvm i found how
lavish spindle
thank you for helping @safe flume , i'll look into it after my game of league xD
if anything i could just remove the ears but i want them now that i seen them hiding in the head part. plus its kinda even cuter ( if that even a word) with ears!
copper kiln
So for some reason, my models feathers on its head arent moving once i added the dynamic bones. Its like the bones are moving but the mesh isnt
spiral sigil
I find if it's only one bone you need to set the end length of the dynamic bone to non-zero for it to work
eg; the dynamic bone has no children bones

For those who modeled anime characters, how do you deal with accuracy when portrait references are inconsistent throughout the scenes? For instance, modeling the hair.
azure adder
observation skills and knowing which details to focus on.
especially in anime characters you can get away with a lot of inacuracies so long as the major details are correct
details like the hair and eyes are most important with anime characters
the rest of the face is usually pretty generic with the exception of characters who have a detailed lower half of the face
head shape is also fairly consistant with female characters
older male characters usually have very distinct faces
but for females. focus on the unique charactaristics of the characters face such as the eyes and hair and you can fill in the blanks by looking at other anime character models

Gotcha.
Flute it's own separate model eh? Ctrl+L and press p to separate under selected.

i dont know how to model. can someone model something for me?
mental blaze
Gotta provide the coin. Not many people do it for free.
Curious though, what did you had in mind to make?

models i make in blender are appearing transparent in unity, shaders are opaque
confused :/

is there any way to control which face gets ripped from an intersection of verticies there is suppsedly some kind of pattern but as far as I can tell there is no rhyme or reason to which faces get ripped and which stay attached
in blender

Anyone know how I can fix these buggy textures, whether in blender, in fbx export settings or just straight up in unity?
