but only if you didn't edit them by hand

fervent folio
#

I'll try that when I get home, this blender stuff is new for me and crazy

#

I also couldn't figure out how to edit a specific joint. Whenever I selected the elbow joint it included the lower arm as well

brave dune
#

@hot flint im far from knowlageable but in theory coudlnt vertex paint be used to define a height position as a percentage on the ramp texture?

hot flint
#

I'm unfamiliar with that technique hmm

#

the extent of my knowledge iissssss

#

there's a video where the makers of Guilty Gear Xrd describe vertex normal height

#

but it aint in blender

brave dune
#

yeah, you need some custom plugin for custom normal editing in blender

#

https://image.prntscr.com/image/9ZRKdEMsS0CW6V0AXXWegg.png
the idea i was thinking was more using something like the vetex paint itself to dfine ramp zones where in your example image, say almost pure red would use the upper ramp where almost black would use the lower ramp. and anything inbetween i fdifferent ramp values were used. All in theory though. Might not be the most optimal thing

hot flint
#

Hmmm

#

I can definitely look into that

#

That's not something i've actually experimented at all with

#

could lead to a lot cleaner mesh overall

fervent folio
#

So when i export my file, its not creating an updated version of the combined asset

hollow raven
hot flint
#

make it loop back into itself

#

@hollow raven

hollow raven
#

! thanks
i was looking for an image like that but couldn't figure out what keywords to use

hot flint
#

Try topology, or topology decimation

#

something along those lines

#

or quad reduction

#

something like that

#

it's a good idea to keep that detail on the bases of the toes, so you were right not to try to decimate it there

hollow raven
#

i honestly dont know why i put toes on this bc it's going to be covered by shoe anyway

hot flint
#

I feel that haha

#

I applaud your dilligence

fervent folio
#

So uh how do I reattach that

glacial pasture

#

@hot flint Xiexe's XSToon uses a colour map, and a greyscale ramp to give a similar effect. Since you need different ramps for different parts you can encode a mask/ID into a texture or vertex colours.

#

Some of your ramps look like they don't really fit a colour * greyscale model though

hot flint
#

Yeah they dont really

#

it's not just different values of a color

#

it's complimentary colors

#

reds bleed to purples, etc etc

#

I appreciate the ideas though!

fervent folio
#

@glacial pasture doesnt work

glacial pasture
#

weight paint it to bones after CTRL J

hot flint
#

Why are bows so gosh darn fun to model

glacial pasture
#

PG13 language.jpg

chrome tree
#

Frills are also fun! But if you get carried away, they consume so many tris...

hot flint
#

yes, absolutely

#

I keep mine pretty minimal

#

the frills on her skirt are only around 250 tris

fervent folio
#

@glacial pasture I havent a lick of clue what im doing, which bone do i weight paint it to

hot flint
#

nice and clean..

glacial pasture
#

Head 🅱one

hot flint
#

@fervent folio depends on what it's logically trying to follow

#

if it's hair, yeah, head bone

glacial pasture
#

Polar you got a world?

fervent folio
#

So just color ebverything on the head red and link it to the head bone armature

glacial pasture
#

p.much

hot flint
#

I do not have a world, nope

fervent folio
#

so i have the entire back of the head covered and most of the front

#

everything is stretchy and like shit

#

when i set an object's parent to my avatar model the model ends up looking transparent. anyone know how ot fix that?

hot flint
#

I'd say she's nearly done

#

vivid crater
#

the real question, how are her armpits 👀

hot flint
#

HAH

#

They're there, i guess

#

I could probably put more detail into them id i really wanted to be a meme

vivid crater
#

🙏 noice

dense kelp
#

And it just keeps gettin' better, i swear your artistic shading just adds so much to an already good model, props as usual

hot flint
#

doing my best to keep honing it

#

if that's my claim to fame, i'm gonna make it the best I can do

hot flint
#

Phew

#

That was stressful

vivid crater
#

cuttin it real close there

hot flint
#

considering the box and prayer rod are interactive items, they wouldn't even count towards the count

#

but I haven't gone over 20,000 before, and i'm not about to

#

No no

#

Add two more tris

#

And upload it as is

hot flint
#

Oooohhh

lament pond
#

I wanted to do something more, robotic?

#

I don't know the term for what I wanted xD

vivid crater
#

Mechanical?

#

Or non organic

lament pond
#

Probably the second

#

I wanted something with simple shapes that while human in overall shape was clearly not human

vivid crater
#

Looks nice, from the chest down reminds me of a ball jointed doll

#

Hi I learned basics a little bit ago in blender and would like to make a anime style character model, any good tutorials out there to share beginner level

#

I really want to know best tutorials to take so I can start making my characters

lament pond
#

I've made a head modeling video @heavy lichen

#

I should probably update it

vivid crater
#

Whoa, 3 years ago

lament pond
#

xD

spiral sigil
#

holy shit

#

make a full model tutorial

vivid crater
#

Lul, I was just about to say

lament pond
#

I have a more recent one but it's a patreon only video at the moment

spiral sigil
#

reeeee

vivid crater
#

Ahh, I see

#

;-;

lament pond
#

It's actually full model as well xD

#

It was making a model from start to done

vivid crater
#

Coming to non patrons in 2019? 😉

lament pond
#

The character in the video is currently a private one so I need to wait until the client is ready to reveal it

#

So it's ultimately up to them when it'll become public xD

vivid crater
#

Welp, I tried 🤷

spiral sigil
#

is it a model for vrchat ?

lament pond
#

Yeah

spiral sigil
#

why is he keeping it a secret ? anybody could see it, record it and reveal it

lament pond
#

It's a vtuber

spiral sigil
#

🤢

vivid crater
#

Still strange imo 🤔

#

But, can't do anything about it I guess

lament pond
#

They are planning a big announcement of it but have been too busy to actually do it

heavy lichen
#

Yeah I'm looking for more recent ones and more of an explanation tutorial, that's a little slower

#

Looking good as usual vrclike

hot flint
#

Starting up on Marisa

lament pond
#

The shading reminds me a lot of stardew valley

hot flint
#

That's actually a pretty accurate comparison

#

I like to try to stay away from pure black as much as possible

#

I take a lot of inspiration also from pixel/sprite based palettes

#

so that would make sense

#

This one's for you, Tupper:

I don't see how that works without using UV mapping from camera's perspective. Which surely would screw up the seams?

lament pond
hot flint
#

@rocky peak

#

The seams all fall inside the edges of the color grid

#

so they dont show at all

#

Tbh can't wait to see Ran

#

Keeping the polycount low on her is gonna be such a pain

#

I never worked with UV maps but just lookin' at that uv setup, i think i've sort of narrowed down the setup flow, or maybe i'm overthinking it

#

Hmm... merging multiple mesh portions would probably be quite a pain but i've done it myself so it shouldn't be off the table either, especially for the one makin' the models

#

Tell me if i'm close when you got the time, i'm a tad curious

solar abyss
#

Is there any potential issues I should know about using Blender 2.8 to make VRChat avatars? I have a novice understanding of Blender, but I'd like to practice on the newer version.

glacial pasture
#

as far as I know the most up to date blender is always gonna be viable

#

just waiting on unity 2018 🙏

latent charm
#

The 2.8 update is a big one from the 2.7 series. Addons may not work as expected (or break entirely) along with other unexpected things.
That's because 2.8 is still in development. Once it gets to the bugfix stage where it's generally feature complete would be an okay time to switch to it if you really want to.

solar abyss
#

Gotcha. I've been poking around the alpha 2 and I'm liking the new layouts.

glacial pasture
#

ah didn't know that was an experimental build

#

yeah probably best not to mess with beta stuff

latent charm
#

Definitely have a look at it and take it for a spin, but don't expect things present to be 100% final.

#

Ive imported an MMD model into blender

#

it has a skin underneath its clothes I want as a model not for vrchat

#

so

#

I remove doubles

#

select outfit

#

make selection

#

and remove it to get the hidden outfit underneath

#

yet

#

when I try to show materials

#

the body comes up as invisible

#

and I dont understand why

fringe rock
#

make the material opaque

violet sable
#

Could someone help me? I think I make something wrong. When I export the model (fbx file) and put it in Unity it doesnt get get his collor like in blender. Does someone know what I did wrong?

fringe rock
#

change the color of the material to white

violet sable
#

but then everything is white

fringe rock
#

you have a texture or not

violet sable
#

Yes

fringe rock
#

then you not have aa problem

zinc furnace
#

Are there any retopo methods for redoing small areas without losing the UV's and texture mapping?

#

I learned of shrinkwrap retopo two days ago, but that's essentially just overlaying new geometry over old

#

It can get pretty hard to properly unwrap the geometry and get the texture back on after that

@violet sable in material options, make the box right next to the texture selection white

#

hey all. ive been using blender for awhile at this point but ive never ran into this issue. i have my model seperated and assigned to different materials. but when i export it and bring it into a different program. there are 4 polygons on my characters face that get assigned to a different material and its really irritating

#

nvm i found the issue is that when i export to obj it splits up every object thats not connected into its own object and material. ik obj cant have a skeleton this is for a different thing unimportant but idk how to make it not split up everything

hot flint
#

Ooooh good catch

help my "Welcome to the VRChat SDK!

Before you can upload avatars or worlds to VRChat, you'll need to spend more time enjoying the app. We do this for security reasons, and so you can learn more about us.

When you get the ability to upload, we will notify you via email and in VRChat. For now, you can learn and test on your own device.

To get started, check out the resources below.

Thank you for your patience, we can't wait to see what you'll build!"

is there a way to lay a svg file on a mesh like a texture in blender?

latent charm
#

@oblique wagon Blender has an svg importer, brings it in as curves. You'll both need to convert it to a mesh with suitable vertex density, then you can use the shrinkwrap modifier to lay it on the surface of another mesh.

oblique wagon

thanks iv been stuck on this for weeks

mental scroll
#

How would I go about assigning a different material to a select part of mesh? https://puu.sh/BK7DJ/414a2af841.png
The problem here I'm having specifically is that the "body" material is automatically being assigned to two different parts of the model, merging it into the one single material. Normally this is never a problem, but the model was pieced together using many different parts so there are some conflicting files.

What I want is to be able to assign a texture to the actual skin of the model and the outfit completely separate.

How can I make my avatar's eyes glow in the dark?

visual vigil
#

seperate material on the eyes with emission up

vague idol
#

You don't need a separate material for it. You can use an emission map (and capable shader) to pick and choose which portions glow.
Black is no emission, white is full white emission (tinted by shader coloration if available). Colors can be used on the map directly as well and follow the dark->black of black/white but with the color itself.

visual vigil
#

TIL

zinc furnace
#

Basically, to make eyes glow you can just copy the texture and black out everything you don't want to glow

#

Then put it in the emission slot @visual vigil @spare skiff

There's something really weird happening on my side whenever I try to import my model to Unity. I have multiple meshes for my model, the bounds extents of all the meshes are fine (they perfectly get the bounds around the mesh) except for the body. The body has an absurd bounds extents value, and I keep getting this error in my unity log when I have my model in the project: Assertion failed on expression: 'IsFinite(outDistanceForSort)'. And VRChat SDK throws this error: 'The avatar measures too large on at least one axis', which makes sense considering how ridiculous unity is calculating the bounds extents. I even made sure to delete any loose geometry vertices in my model, anyone has any idea why this is happening? EDIT: I tried to artificially modify the bounds extents value to make it fit around the body, the error went away and I was able to upload my model but my body material kept randomly changing colors in-game like a rainbow (even though it shouldn't); its so bizarre.

new to unity and avatar making, but everytime i move a model into unity the textures load wrong. head text, hair,body ect. but the body loads to all the 3d model, cant figure a fix.

zinc furnace
#

@granite hamlet did you manually texture atlas the model by any chance?

#

Check how many UV maps the model has before export. It should only have one.

#

After manual atlasing for example, you might still have the original UV map that has to be deleted

granite hamlet
#

no found the model on a site, used maximo, then put it in unity

zinc furnace
#

@granite hamlet import it into Blender first and check the UV maps

#

Also merge the meshes and have Cats Blender Tool create an automatic texture atlas

granite hamlet
#

tried to import it into blender, but i cant figure out how

#

dragged and dropped, used the import function on files. but it doesnt appear.

zinc furnace
#

Is it a .dae file?

#

@granite hamlet

granite hamlet
#

yes

#

ok i think its working now, either that, or the models was so small i had to zoom in to see them...

#

Always check the scene hierarchy to see if it's actually missing or just small

so i cant tell depth

#

so atm only looks like this

hot flint
#

@silent acorn yep! That's the plan

silent acorn
#

Neat!

#

@umbral crystal it's mostly just a matter of trying different body shapes until something feels right. You could always draw up your own side-view reference, even just a basic outline would do

umbral crystal
#

not best at drawing

#

but trying

silent acorn
#

👍 👍

#

good luck with it!

umbral crystal
#

idk y it clipping down middle

#

using mirror modifier

silent acorn
#

Do you have 'clipping' checked?

umbral crystal
#

yea

silent acorn
#

if you drag the vertices that are clipping back towards the middle, they should merge todether

umbral crystal
#

didnt do anything

#

they are merged together but

#

it still does that 4 whatever reason

Looks solid. I imagine the tricky part is making a smooth transition from front, to side, to back.

umbral crystal
#

this all i got so far

#

i not ver good modeler so taking long time 2 make

hot flint
#

My best piece of advice is to take a look at how professionals set up their topology

clever spindle
#

Very descent look. The ears just need to widen out enough to get their decent size and careful for the face not to get too pointy there. But looks nice.

hot flint
#

Mimic the same edge loops they use

lament pond
#

@umbral crystal the "cheek" region could use some more volume

#

Not the sides but like the region under the eyes

clever spindle
#

There's a handful of things that could be done to fix it up if we want to be specific.

1 Getting rid of the edge that starts between the eyes and the ears, and runs down along the cheek. It needs to be flattened and rounded out.

2 Flattening the nose a bit and the snout in general, also fixing the upper-bite if you don't want it.

3 Puffing out the cheeks (as mentioned) so they're rounder and more filled out

4 Fixing the bump over the forehead and the bump over the bridge of the nose

5 Just keeping up with the good work!

solid shale
#

Have a blender question. Since GG moves verts along edges and then E makes them align to either side, is there a key that makes the verts go to the middle?

solid shale
#

I guess as an example, I have two straight flowing edgeloops with a crooked one in the middle and want to straighten that one out without losing the shape.

lament pond
#

You could get rid of that edgeloop and make a new one

solid shale
#

True but I was hoping for an alternative incase I couldn't do that

spiral sigil
#

@solid shale try Loop tools > Gstretch

#

enable loop tools in addons, you have them under the W key then.

#

@solid shale alternatively, you can ctrl+E>Edge Slide to one side of the loop, confirm the operation, and edge slide again to the middle of the loop.

But I'm quite happy with my models at least

@pliant falcon Working with programs like Blender can be tough at first, but it's not too hard to get the hang of things. Modelling is just as much about practice as the end product- maybe your early models might look a bit weird, but they'll get better over time!

drobox and onedrive are file share services but I feel like I'd run into problems because all files are in different locations ( unity said something about scenes having to be in the unity folder or something )

@lament pond + matcap? afais AO doesn't influence geometry relative to camera position, just geometry relative to each other. Unless it's some 2.8 magic? 🇭 🇴 🇼

unless it's not viewport?

It is the viewport and it is just ao xD

I'm still using 2.78, if you click N under Shading there's an AO option

I need help with unity. I have hair on my avatar and for some reason even though I made the hair texture PNG with a transparent background, it has a black background instead of the transparency. so I googled around and tried downloading a hair shader. now , it looks fine, the transparency is there but it seems like the opaque parts are also slightly transparent?? please help me fix this mess ;-; https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/473964102562349066/506981674437836812/unknown.png

#

@spiral sigil unity doesn't like transparency, you'll probably want to use a cutoff shader

spiral sigil
#

okay :c it just looks so ugly though with the cutoff thing

#

cause the hair looks sharp on the edges

#

yeah! ao is great for shape and form, i just wish there was an easy ao node for rendering bakes. I think i read they included it in 2.8 or dev. Or it's in the works?

#

Beautiful concept for an avatar btw.. was just logging off and saw that, quite realistic. hope you get the hair sorted

#

Thank you! :)

#

but you seem to be getting ao on model edges, and all I managed to get is sharp crevices that would normally obstruct light.

The model is pretty sharp

#

I need some help I want to make a helmet that looks shiny but I don't know how

compact mulch
#

Using a Unity standard shader or standrd specular, you need to make a gloss map and then put the gloss map inside your metallic or specular maps as an alpha. You will need a 2d editing software that can do it

#

I'd reccommend making a .tga format image. They work really well with custom alpha channels

🤔

#

Never heard of it

spiral sigil
#

@umbral crystal look for "hair cards" or any other hair tutorial for vrc. You can make it from mesh as well if you want it spiky and massive.

#

topology is a science of its own, look for topology refs on humanoids on any image search engine. Polycount has some stuff about it on their wiki too. Dated, but good.

umbral crystal
#

ye bc like i want to make the

#

chest and shoulder floof

#

and idk how to make it look pretty

#

or how to extrude it so thqat

#

it doesnt cause weird overlap in subsurf

spiral sigil
#

try a lot of things, see how other people model that

umbral crystal
#

also do u know why the head looks like this

#

theres this shading thing in the cheeks

#

nvm topology issue

spiral sigil
#

ehhh, welcome to subsurf modelling :3 You're gonna get artifacts on places with weird geometry, triangles, ngons, double vertices, mesh edges.

#

enter the edit mode, smash "select", select all by trait, and then "select non manifold"

#

you gotta be in vert select mode

umbral crystal
#

also any tips to marking seams

#

should i just draw a seam all the way down the middle and assume its good

spiral sigil
#

if you're gonna get selections in the area of the shading artifacts, something's broken there, either internal faces, edges, doubles, or split mesh

#

there are standard ways to place them if you follow one of the humanoid topologies. In general, try to avoid the places that will be well visible

umbral crystal
#

i want to make it easy to texture

#

i could always use view project but then i cant do the mouth

spiral sigil
#

so run it on the sides of the character rather than front/back, on sides of the fingers, etc.

#

you can unwrap the mouth separately, just hide everything else , select the mouth, and click unwrap

umbral crystal
#

o ok

#

how do i separate it from main mesh uv bc it will be attached

spiral sigil
#

you can unwrap stuff with selection only without marking the edges. Edges are for repeatability, if you do a dozen unwraps in a row, pin verts, etc.

umbral crystal
#

do i mark seam

spiral sigil
#

yeah, you can mark the seam on the lips. It's gonna be easier to select then

#

protip: cursor over mesh, hit L on keyboard

#

on the left bar, you're gonna get a menu

#

and there you can choose what gets selected.

#

if you choose "seam", it's gonna select only the island that's under the cursor

umbral crystal
#

its still attached

spiral sigil
#

also a good way to check if the seam is not broken anywhere

umbral crystal
spiral sigil
#

you mean in the UV editor?

#

ah yes

umbral crystal
#

ye

#

i put seams along the mouth part

spiral sigil
#

these are tris

umbral crystal
#

nvm fixed

spiral sigil
#

@umbral crystal change to face select mode

umbral crystal
#

no i had to unwrap the face again

#

but without selecting the mouth

spiral sigil
#

ok, but if you go into face select mode, mesh won't pull verts with it

#

yeah, you have to unwrap parts of the model when you modify the seams

umbral crystal
#

is that good

#

should be enough for that right

spiral sigil
#

yeah, the meshes overset on the UV map, if you want them to have the same color, that's gonna be OK

#

also, if you're using flat colors, you can just assign materials to them, without textures.

umbral crystal
#

yea but then i will have to like

#

firstly increase draw call and also

#

have to move my quads around

#

i wanna keep my quad patterns and not change them too much

#

they will all use the same shader so a bit unecessary

spiral sigil
#

Okay

umbral crystal
#

ye

#

is there a better way to color it other than texture paint

#

or like photoshop

spiral sigil
#

you can paint directly on the UV map, just export it as an image, modify, and reload in blender

#

duh, i mean, you can paint directly on the texture, and you can generate the UV mesh lines as a separate alpha layer to know what you're doing.

#

there was an export option for that somewhere in the image editor

umbral crystal
#

o ok

zinc furnace
#

You can also use vertex painting or just a plain new material for every new color, then atlas it

umbral crystal
#

kk

spiral sigil
#

Oh yeah, vertex paint > paint > dirty vertex colors. Poor man's ambient occlusion =^)

#

autopaints all the creases, so you can link them to a darker material/texture and bake to texture.

#

how to make the brush less feathery

worked totally fine on a different model a few weeks back

I'll just leave this here :3

how does one create a avatar

#

from scratch or just importing one for vrchat ?

#

from scratch

#

check the pin of this channel

#

and search tutorials related to that video

#

ok

Does anyone know how to merge armatures in blender?

#

Cats tool doesn't function for me when it comes to merging

spiral sigil
#

you need to show it where to join and it will only be assigned to that one bone

Are there any downsides to letting Unity calculate the normals rather than importing them? I've found one case where it just looks plain better when calculated.

#

I get weird seams and rough edges in some areas if I import them

spiral sigil
#

there's a bunch of dowsides, usually people 'sculpted' the normals a little to give some areas extra curve or lighting angle

#

so sometimes if you let blender, cats or unity recalc the normals the face looks broken or something looks smooth where it had a crease

zinc furnace
#

Alright, thanks. There's some kinda weird spots in some areas, I should probably re-check if I accidentally did that in Blender or if that's just what the model is

#

Like seams or random sharp polys

spiral sigil
#

you can set a treshold angle when normals need to be smoothed that also influences how it smooths out contrast

whats a good way to get into modeling avatars from scratch

#

i need to make my own original thing

cobalt willow
#

You can ignore the parts he sets up his own IK bones, you don't need that for VRchat.

Thank you @cobalt willow

#

He makes it look easy but I know I’ll have fun with it good luck

I'm new to this whole blender thing and I'm super confused with something

#

I tried to follow some tutorial on how to use GMod models in VRChat but the person is using one big model and putting a texture on it, but my model has like a bunch of individual parts but one big texture picture

#

And now i'm not entirely sure how to deal with that.

#

I'm going to make the assumption that each part has a UV mapped. This means you may have to link the texture to each part through the material of each part.

regal jetty
#

So I have to select a specific part of the texture and map it to one of the smaller models?

light rivet
#

Well if the model has no UV unwrapped, then you would have to unwrap it first and lay out the UV over the texture. Putting it in general, yes, you select a specific part of the texture.

Alright, i'll go from there. Thanks.

remodeling freaking akali was the best decision but worst

#

for some reason the hoodie unwrapped the shoulder parts

royal raven
#

holy this looks good 😮

#

im a bit sad, that i dont know how modeling etc works, i would make every ahri skin 😄

lament pond
#

@bitter leaf I'm thinking of making Ahri, now we just need two people for the other two

bitter leaf
#

Oh hell yeah @lament pond just letting you know the original riot games one is garbage in topology your better off building from scratch

lament pond
#

I am building it from scratch xD @bitter leaf

#

Any know any good books for modeling?

#

I don't like where that bus is going

#

too much anime with buses with certain purposes 👀

#

🚚 sama avatar?

lament pond
#

I'm probably gonna use it in a map

Looks sick👌

#

there any good tips on how to keep a good quad pattern when modelling and also have low polygon count

#

bc like my last model the quads werent as clean and it had 120k tri in all

#

should i just like make a subsurfed cube then just sculpt it?

bitter leaf
#

@umbral crystal It all depends on what your modeling honestly. You should always make your edges flow good edge flow can help with poly count. Do you have a picture of your models topology? maybe I can point out things you can change

umbral crystal
#

not rlly easy 2 see bc subsurf

bitter leaf
#

are you in zbrush?

umbral crystal
#

but idk how to like

#

make sure that there is a equally spaced quad pattern

#

bc things are larger in other places

#

cuz a lot of models i see theres like these quads that almost perfect shape

#

and when i try 2 do that it doesnt get the right shape

#

and thats before subsurf modifier btw

bitter leaf
#

Depends on the software so im a high poly to low poly workflow. I sculpt all of my work in Zbrush then move to Maya which then I draw my quads on.

umbral crystal
#

oh ok so like

#

u make the high poly version first

#

then u make the quads and remake it?

bitter leaf
#

Yeah I sculpt my stuff first

umbral crystal
#

o ok so wat ur saying is

#

i just wrap something around it

#

btu how do u make it so

#

the quads evenly spaced and

#

follow pattern throughout

bitter leaf
#

relaxing the quads in quad draw helps

#

the sculpt is like 20k the final ver is 6k

umbral crystal
#

like this for example

#

how do i make sure that the quads are like perfect

#

cuz i cant seem to do it right lol

#

i dont know how many i need to do one part and how many i need to do another

#

i keep like loop cutting a dozen times to get detail right

#

then theres way too many in one spot

bitter leaf
#

I would be smoothing your topology also model one sice and duplicate over

#

dont forget you can bake the details onto a normal map

umbral crystal
#

i do that but then i have too many or too little to match them with

#

like ill model head or arm or hand or foot etc separately

#

then this one will have too little quads for me to combine

#

and also its kinda hard for me when i do it from a sketch

#

cuz u gotta kinda follow it from all 3 angles

#

so i dont know where to place them or how often

#

especially on things like muzzles

#

where i have to add quads in a specific way so that it fits with the rest of the head and that it doesnt look out of place

bitter leaf
#

polycount has a ton of topology references too

umbral crystal
bitter leaf
#

I would check there its a really good resource for this sort of thing

umbral crystal
#

like for this would i just move the vertices down and to the right a bit on the muzzle

#

u can see i attempted 2 do quad thing but oofd lol

#

the loop cut part is the thing i find the most difficult tho

#

bc wat if i want like the nose hole i made there

#

how would i make it without having that
