@tired plume make sure the proportional editing is set on connected
also can someone please help me? i made an object in blender and it screws up when i import it in unity
red silo
Screws up how?
mint ginkgo
it changes the rotation point of the bones in my avatar
im trying to rotate the arm
and its rotating around the bat
instead of around the arm bone
red silo
Ah, sorry. Thought it was a different issue. I don't know the Unity rigging system too well.
mint ginkgo
im pretty sure it has something to do with blender not unity
because ive imported many objects in the past but its the first one i make myself
and all the other ones were working properly
so there must be something i did wrong while making the bat
red silo
Did you set the origin to the grip point in Blender?
mint ginkgo
no its where the rotation point is
but wouldnt that just change the bats rotation point?
red silo
It would. Sorry bud, that's all I got. I was thinking if the axes was in the floor or something it might cause probs.
red silo
Yeah. Maybe try moving the origin to 0.0 and take away the roll so it stands straight up. But if you've done this before then I doubt that's it.
mint ginkgo
no i havent changed the blender at all so far
how would i go at making the origin 00?
red silo
Press n to bring up the side panel in object mode. And zero out the locations.
red silo
No that'll just set the origin to wherever the cursor happens to be.
red silo
I'd just rotate it and eyeball it if you don't know the angle it's on.
mint ginkgo
ok
red silo
The reason I mentioned the roll is because Unity seems to stand some bones upright. I made my first eye tracking avatar recently and had the bones horizontal. Then Unity flipped them up inside his head.
mint ginkgo
nope that didnt work
red silo
Damn. Sorry bud. Hopefully someone else can offer something.
mint ginkgo
its like if all the bones above it become parented to it
red silo
Can you not add the thing to the avatar in Blender itself? That way you can set the hierarchy parenting yourself.
That's how I add attachments.
deft kite
is there a distortion effect in existance that vrchat can handle for a unity shader? I have a jello-man, and i want him to have some kind of distortion from his texture, like a blobby magnification effect? Is it possible?
red silo
You'd need to find a shader that can do a single-pass compatible index of refraction effect. Nord Lake might work but I've never tried it.
mint ginkgo
@red silo when i press separate by materials on my object it does this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/413199275292491798/419014077835247616/unknown.png
red silo
I haven't used CATs much. Why do you need to separate the meshes? If that's a new single bone though it should be easy enough to set up fresh.
mint ginkgo
um i wanted to separate the meshes because for some reason my second mesh lost the color i gave it
and even after separating the meshes and going back to change the color it wont change anymore
its just stuck to the basic grey
red silo
Just add another material slot to the mesh and assign all the relevant faces to it in Edit mode.
red silo
Noice
mint ginkgo
they still wont change color
vivid crater
awe, thats cute
hot flint
I've been challenging myself not to make any MMD avatars

That's a weird one @mint ginkgo Even with no UV's it should be changing color.
hot flint
What color did you want it to be?
red silo
Are you definitely changing to the new material before hitting assign?
mint ginkgo
yeah i made a new material and it didnt work
hot flint
did you hit assign?
mint ginkgo
yeah doesnt change anything
mint ginkgo
why??????
hot flint
make sure the weight painting is correct

hot flint
Did you save an earlier copy?
mint ginkgo

Sorry, i build my own models from scratch so i have no idea why MMD/cats does certain things

i just removed the bat and now the model works properly...
i clearly did something wrong when making this object and i have no clue what

So, quick question.
I've been trying to weight paint this section for a decent amount of time with no success
How do I stop the joints from folding in on themselves and messing up like this when bent

deft fog
oh fun
fun fun
Im seconds away from just trying to find someone to commission to fix it for me
hot flint
I have a more pressing question for you
look at the top of your blender window
how many tris does it say this model is
hot flint
I'd work on that first
deft fog
I want a model I can use elsewhere, too, instead of just having something low-poly for VRChat
hot flint
makes enough sense
deft fog
For elbow and arm?
deft fog
ha, damn
Oh
I think I understand this more
The arm gets more weight in the front of the arm, while the elbow needs it in the back to keep its shape
Yay!
What sucks is trying to redo this for the other arm
It's not pretty, but it works
spiral sigil
@deft fog elbows and knees require a corrective blend shape or an extra bone to look better
with a basic rig this is good
deft fog
I've seen them before, seems like a lot of work
I do want to try doing a little sphere to keep the elbow intact.
But that sounds like another thing to go wrong constantly
Ive been fighting this model for about 15 hours
deft fog

Looks nice
Thanks for the help with the arm weighting, by the way. Wouldnt have figured that one on my own

Cell shading is a lot of fun to work with :)
Because the models are shadeless, you can kinda get away with murder on how low poly you can go
Even moreso if you're using textures

how long have u been modelling?
hot flint
I'd been modeling as a hobby since highschool, but very on and off
when i got involved in VRChat about 4 months ago was the first time i'd touched blender in over 6 years lol
my first model was like 9k tris and took me over a month to make
these models i'm making now are 2.5k tris and take me like 3 days
eternal crow
One Question, https://image.prntscr.com/image/4S7SvVIAR8GUVt5oHFi9Zg.png How would i go about making a raincoat of sorts?
hot flint
Have you looked up basic modeling tutorials on Blender? I'm not sure how much of an understanding you have of doing things from scratch
eternal crow
ive made weapons before and thats about it
and ive put clothing models onto models by hand and so forth
outer pollen
The basics are pretty much the same so if you have done weapons you should be fine
A coat doesnt sound that complicated to do. Just imagen it as a shape and work around with the verts and faces. Only hard part which I think you would have issues with if you havwnt done arms before is the sleeves
eternal crow
thankfully for me i don't have to make the enitre character from scratch
because ive got a base to work off of
but i will have to hand rig the coat itself
outer pollen
Oh, even better. You can highlight the shape of the coat from the characters body and clone the elements. Then just extruding and playing around
eternal crow
well i meant just a base of the characters body
outer pollen
Anything works~ as long as you arent starting from scratch
outer pollen
Not that bad lol
Like I said. The only "hard" part would be the sleeves if it was from scratch and you hadn't made arms before
eternal crow
he has base sleeves i can work with
http://prntscr.com/ime4rt im using a model ripped from the game on the wii
so i can use parts of that to make it a bit easier
since it has a similar design at parts
like the pants
but of course before i can start i have to do stupid chores....as usual....yay
soooo off ta' do said chores....
outer pollen
Actually, you already have the coat there. You see his shirt? Just grab that, duplicate it and make it bigger. Fit it to the model and bam
rugged pollen
Anyone know how i can blend textures together in blender?
spiral sigil
@rugged pollen you have to create a second uv map

well maybe you know? or haven't you learned them yet?
I just want my damn objects to follow the particle hairs
if they would do that it'd be easy

the model will be used in a ai pathfinding test in unity
so imagine playing an rts in a vr world.
but this one is treated more like a side project.
polar flower
pr2
mental blaze
yo
mental blaze
a recommendation is to edge model the core areas of the face. I believe you modeled in one view
also, look at face topology references, so you can see how the edge flow works.
polar flower
wat u mean edge
mental blaze
a wireframe of an object.
polar flower
i only have that one image i dont have a side view
should i just use any random side view
mental blaze
I guess you can since female anime faces are pretty generic.
mental blaze

jay leno chin
mental blaze
The eyes still needs some work
and as well as the chin
but... the front side view of the character has that jay leno chin
so...
well, I'll eventually come back into character modeling and fix those issues.
forest comet
pr2 do you know how to use particles in blender?
mental blaze
yep, what you tryna do?
coral flame
ok
forest comet
now it's correct
mental blaze
I will say this, if you convert that hair into a mesh, you're going to have a bad time with getting the model under 20k
forest comet
Basically I'm adding the spines as particles and I want them to follow the hairs that the particle system creates
mental blaze
You want to tackle the hair by using a shader in unity
kind of like how the technical artists who made conker live and reloaded.
forest comet
I don't know what you mean
Either way let's ignore the problems I'd have getting it under 20k for now
mental blaze
Im saying is that you're better off making a shader to tackle the hair
forest comet
I just wanna make a nice hedgehog now
mental blaze
anyways, do you know how to weight paint the areas on where the hair will grow from?
mental blaze
thats how youre going to tackle that
hollow sedge
Oh man that low poly alien is cool
mental blaze
see a video example on how a dude made cat hair in blender
forest comet
I mean I have videos about how to make hair
the problem is that they don't use objects for their hair
mental blaze
I'm saying that it's been a while since ive tackled hair particles.
ah, actual hair particles
forest comet
hair itself is fine, I'm trying to align objects to the hairs
mental blaze
aligning to individual strands of hair...
Ive never thought about that method.
but I've actually came across your issue before.
forest comet
oh hey, did you manage to solve it?
mental blaze
I had to tweak the rotation values of the grouped objects.
I didnt use the hair particle to tackle the task though.
forest comet
Hmm
So basically you made a bunch of the same particle and rotated them a bit?
I mean as you can see they are spread out randomly already
mental blaze
You have to tweak with the particle settings to get each individual object to align along the surface.
forest comet
again, aligned with the surface is easy
mental blaze
I remember choosing normal alignment
forest comet
that's basically what I already have, and then I introduced some jitter to make the spikes spread a bit for a more natural look
mental blaze
I'll have to look it up online for an answer. I'll definitely come across your issue when I model the orbed piercer.
forest comet
Right
I did look around online, there seemed to be an answer but I didn't understand it because even though I tested it it didn't do anything
mental blaze
post it, so I can read.
mental blaze
Particle Instance modifier
forest comet
Yeah I applied the particle instance modifier to the body mesh
mental blaze
- Set the particle system to Render / None (not 'Object' or 'Group')
- Select your object and add the "Particle Instance" modifier.
- In the modifier settings, select the object with the particle system.
- Select 'Create Along Paths'.
mental blaze
yee
forest comet
I already told you, with those instructions I don't get it
I tried doing it a couple ways with those instructions and none of it worked
mental blaze
let me see if I get the same issue.
forest comet
make sure you try to use an object to align with the hairs
mental blaze
modeled a hair strand and added a hair particle system to a cube.
looked funky, but the hair particles do align with the hair strand object.
so, it works.
forest comet
yeah ok
gimme a bit I gotta go get food
but my problem is I don't understand the instructions
mental blaze
lol, the results are hilarious
but dont worry, the instructions are legit.
you basically need 2 objects.
one for the hair stand mesh and another with the hair particle system
I had to rotate the hair strand 90 degrees downward in edit mode to make the hairs align
adjust alignment to z axis in the instance modifier settings.
forest comet
wait so did you use 2 cubes or 1?
right now I have 2 cubes, one that I wanna put particles on, one that I will use as the particle
forest comet
ok so I added particle system as hair on the cube
mental blaze
create a low poly hair strand
forest comet
yeah
mental blaze
and add the particle instance modifier to it
mental blaze
no, to the hair strand mesh
well, you called it particle.
but in this case, its a literal mesh object.
forest comet
mental blaze
add edge loops on the hair strand mesh
forest comet
what?
forest comet
mental blaze
wut, no. but set that to None.
mental blaze
you should be editing the other object.
now comb the particles and subdivide the hair strand mesh
forest comet
there's no particles on that
mental blaze
and... rotate your hair strand
mental blaze
yep, thats what should happen
What I do to avoid confusion is placing the hair strand at the same place as the cube with ps on it.
mental blaze
forest comet
no I meant in a call
so you can show me the process
because there's very obviously something I'm messing up
mental blaze
can't, got school work due today
but there isn't really much to edit. Rotation and location values of both objects have to be at 0,0,0
the hair mesh should be pointing upwards
and subdivide it so the mesh can have some accuracy in aligning with the hair particle strands.
mental blaze
yep, all good
forest comet
mental blaze
check off size
mental blaze
what are the scale values of the giant box?
forest comet
mental blaze
how about for the hair mesh
mental blaze
yee, thanks for posting about the particle instance modifier
that will definitely come in handy in making the spikes for the orbed piercer
mental blaze
forest comet
yeah I know 😉
I watched MIA too
oh jesus christ
I think this -might- be a bit too many particles
mental blaze
oh no

Mmh @mental blaze it kinda flattens my spikes.. and if I keep shape it doesn't follow the hair >.<

I think thats the limit of the modifier.
otherwise, dive deep into finding a solution.
mental blaze

I don't think it's helping
true juniper
any Tutorials? wan't to get started into model making
hot flint
Kind of depends on what direction you're planning to take work modeling
If you're going for higher or lower detail/poly count
And what you want the model to be able to do, and things you don't really care about
With modeling*
As an example, if you want your model to be able to blink and open its mouth, you'll treat the modeling process very differently than if you didn't care about those features
true juniper
well for now, just simple modeling and rigging then work on something with animation
hot flint
You'll come to find out that so many people have so many different ways of modeling that there's no real concrete recipe
There's a lot of difference in modeling Styles just as there's difference in artwork Styles as well
Depending if you're going very low detail, or very high detail, is usually the biggest difference
That's why I often recommend that you write a list of what you want your avatar to be able to do and what you don't mind doing without
true juniper
well, probably high detail, cause i do want it look fine
it just a mix, and mostly depending on what character i'm thinking of
hot flint
At least for me, the most that I've ever learned about 3D modeling has been taking a peek at other people's models and seeing how they set them up
Rather than beating my head against the wall not using a reference
true juniper
right now for basics i want to make a mimikyu
hot flint
For something as small as a Pokemon, I would recommend looking up low poly tutorials and you can always add finer details later on
Low poly tutorials or a great way to learn how to make very basic shapes that still give you the detail that you want
true juniper
any suggestions on what who's channel?

I'm looking for a unity shader that put an outline on hard edges
flat lit toon and noenoe dont do that
at least not that i can figure out
anyone have any idea?
mental blaze
unfortunately, I haven't seen a shader that properly done that.
scratch that last post, I'll double check for one.
so averaging vertex normals, eh?
@azure adder
I have shader forge, so I can probably take a stab at it after I submit my school work for this week.

Stupid question (im very tired) - connecting an object directly to bone, how do i undo that? How do i unconnect an object to a bone? (its not wieghted its just directly connected)
nevermind i found it, its in the parents tab

Does anyone hv megumin blueprints for modeling
modern mango
google should help with that. no?

how do i make my vertices snap to others?
like when im extruding them
i want them to connect to another plane
kindred yacht
alt+M while having two verts selected(choose which option suits most),or press F while selected multiple verts to create a single face(or an edge if only two verts were selected)

is anyone an expert at eyetracking in blender using CATS? I have an error message that i dont even know how to describe (im also brand new)

@polar flower snap during transform (magnet icon) on the 3D view bar
and then the icon right next to it to the right, change to vertices then whichever setting like closest
Anyone know any odd specifics about getting custom model lip syncing to work? I made the best imitation shape keys I could and set everything up in unity accordingly, but the lip syncing itself still doesn't work in VRC
the shape keys/visemes don't seem to work in unity either although the model is fully rigged as a humanoid
spiral sigil
@carmine summit is the mesh called Body ?
carmine summit
It is not. I have it called "face"
spiral sigil
could be the problem
if you added all shapekeys
i made a custom model
with lipsync
i had one mesh called body one skelleton called armature
and dragged the mesh into the slot
then selected the right shapekeys
and worked
carmine summit
does the mouth itself have to be a separate mesh?
For context, this model is fully rigged, but basically just with a dumby skeleton. The "head" is the only meshed part and its only a front and back with cuts in the vertex on the mouth to make the shape keys

Has this happened to anybody yet, while exporting it from blender? Get this UV Map error. wont let me export it :(

does anyone know where i can get the screaming duck mmd?? PM me if you have a website i can get it from
steel basin
Anyone have a tutorial on how to set a generic rig avatar on VRChat? I was able to import my model's animations into unity (but I made one .fbx for each single animation because the .nif plugin on blender didn't let me put all the animations on one single model), but I have no idea on how to set the animations for them to work on VRChat.

guys
quick question
I have a model
but all of its bones are "Jnt 1 Jnt 2"
do I need to name them for it to work fine in unity rig?
wrong channel fuck'
desert ocean
So I have a model, and I have a mask of a model that I want to attach to it. However, if I just join the two then run them through mixamo, the resulting obj does not play nice with the textures at all
Does anyone have any advice on how to resolve this issue? Other than actually actually learning to rig, because I've been through that, and I am hot garbage at it

wait
is this from scratch ? or did you take some body part and heavily modify them ?
visual vigil

oh no
lament pond
@spiral sigil everything I make is from scratch
rare edge
can any1 help me with unity?
lament pond
It looks like the normals might be backwards
Of course that's hard to see with the axis covering it up
hot flint
Oof, for both, or each?
lament pond
I'm usually in that dangerous 19k zone xD
lament pond
Congrats
hot flint
@visual vigil are you familiar with how normals work? I can give you a few quick fixes for it
visual vigil
Nope
Not familiar
I was able to work around, but the issue seems to be blenders cylinder shape
Which I kinda need to use in the future

Hey there~ is there anyone that can help me? I'm trying to make my dog avatar and I'm having issues with the textures, is there any way to randomise the multiplication of the edges of the textures?

ooh
mental blaze
Ah, you beat me at making violet. My version however, is leaning towards keeping in proportions to the anime reference.
But, it will be awhile before I force myself to finish the model.

try to approach this topology
👀
if you follow this basic edge flow things should get a lot easier
polar flower
thanks
polar flower
the problem is that the character isnt looking directly into the camera
whole pike
you should follow one side and mirror it over so it would be more aligned
The left side of their face seems to be more leveled
lament pond
@polar flower you can always rotate the photo
whole pike
it seems like the head is the only part tilted though; but i might be wrong
polar flower
Also the mouth is open. I guess I can just edit a photo of it with a closed one and have the head rotated. Maybe that will make it easier for me

@whole pike is that some fucking greed ling i see
@visual vigil nice work on that proto suit my dude

@polar flower search the show for a point where he's looking to the side, you're in business
Only model one side of the face

"similar"
lament pond
You could commission the artist to do a side view
polar flower
I was just hoping if anyone knew of any generic side views I could use
Of anime characters
The ones I found don’t match well. I’ll just keep looking
spiral sigil
@polar flower load up an mmd model that looks similar
and use it as reference
your face count is to high btw
try to keep it as low as possible in the beginning
polar flower
I suck with topology. I guess it gets better with practice
mental blaze
Bruh, what's that in your profile pic

https://taz0x.deviantart.com/art/Megaranger-Digitizer-190727616 can anyone make this????

oh hey rubber
I actually tried sculpting, just now

viscid siren
you can turn on the smooth shading from the Dyntopo menu.
whole pike
@frigid robin Hell yeah it is :^)
viscid siren
also sculpting is pretty fun way to model, but after that doing the retopology for low poly is a pain in the butt
frigid robin
@whole pike are you pulling him out of the wii game of are you making him from scratch
whole pike
I'm making him from scratch
