Anyone have any clue what's going on when a fbx object is put into Unity and some of the faces are transparent, but only when you are looking directly at them?
fringe rock
shader of the material is transparent most of the time when you inport fbx. change to opaque
thorny fractal
could be that some faces have inverted normals
forest cosmos
@thorny fractal Yeah, that's what it was, weird

Well this is a crazy bug Ive never seen before
I was working on my model when it became incredibly laggy.
The model, itself, is 92k
But when I leave the edit mode in blender, the tris count jumps from 92k to 9,160,767 tris.

what did I do

does it look good when you move the shoulder up ?

Its not how the shoulder move in vrchat
Its barely move up. It mosly rotate if i remember correctly

i see
thanks !
slim perch
@fringe rock I'll keep that in mind. I had a feeling something like that might be an issue
@fringe rock so its a back/front rotation?
fringe rock
If you have vr you can test it by making a bone avatar or use a shader that show the armature

sadly, I dont have VR. possible future investment

OH speaking of weight painting, can someone tell me what the colors mean?
A lot of my mixamo rigged models pick up parts of the torso when the arms are lifted.
thorny fractal
the colors are like the strength of the vertex to a bone
with red being the highest
you might have like a super low value of some verteces attached to one of the arm bones if you cant see the color
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/504378118799360010/519230740651704335/untitled.png finally rigged this model and set of face animations and even ported it to vr yesturday to mess around with it. so close to being done

Weight painting colors are a heat map. Red is highest influence, blue is no influence

i wish my shoulders worked better
hard to find good guidance for the bone placment
ask 3 peaple you will get 3 diffrent ways
thorny fractal
i woulkd just move them around and try what works best with the topology of your model
strong thistle
ya but i never find a any pro guidance for angle and basic starting points
some one should do a class for it
thorny fractal
ive never really had problems with the shoulders in the first place, except when i fucked up on one of my models and the topology in the armpit area was really bad
this is what i do tho, the bones are not actyually connected to the arms or chest
it at least works well on my model here
strong thistle
oh i can make them work and look ok but when i pull the vert data to layer up and over mesh layers thats when its can be more trouble, most peaple i think get lazzy and just cut the mesh under so not to deal with

Pretty cool, @visual vigil, fits the tanks' style well
spiral sigil
@jolly atlas also when you weight paint make sure "auto normalize" is enabled in the weight paint tool. Unity enforces auto normalize so if you dont paint with, it leads to undesired results
bitter leaf
Imstill working on textures

having autonormalize always on can lead to bad outcomes, so be careful and doublecheck always

does anyone have any good resources on manual vertex normal editing, its somthing i really want to get into but there just isnt that much material out there when it comes for somthing like cel shading like on a characters face or somthing so it looks nice

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/516130922140139531/519988269606240307/unknown.png
is there something missing? do I have to export the model as an fbx and then reimport it through cats in order for it to "find" the meshes?
spiral sigil
did you merge all the meshes ?
spiral sigil
then do that last when you combined everything
zinc furnace
Hmm, are the meshes inside an armature?
And do the meshes have the armature modifier on them?
balmy warren
nothing is parented to the armature. I only created the rig
zinc furnace
I think Cats can only detect the meshes if it's inside an armature
zinc furnace
Since I think visemes only work on humanoids anyway (not sure)
balmy warren
shouldn't be the case. cats shouldn't be able to detect whether an armature is humanoid or not
zinc furnace
No, but the logic is
If it has literally no armature it won't be humanoid
A lot of Cats functions only used to work with an armature
foggy maple
@balmy warren Yes, cats requires you to have an armature almost everytime. Just create a armature containing one bone and parent the mesh to it
balmy warren

That would work. It just would take me a while.
Anything worth doing I guess. XD
wanton hatch
@trim warren Not sure if I understand you correctly, but you can edit the weight vertex groups directly. Just enter edit mode on the mesh, select the entire mesh and click assign to the vertex group for the bone you want
reef lotus
@forest cosmos super late but there's a triangulate modifier

for subdivide, or for something else

zinc furnace
For some reason this model has glasses that are a mile below the actual model, activated on a shape key.
I can move the glasses into the head properly, but how do I then fix the glasses shape key so it moves the glasses into the right place again, rather than a mile above the model?
I would need a way to copy and paste vertex positions
dense kelp
@zinc furnace wouldn't editing the location with the Basis selected work?
Worst case scenario you reposition the actual shapekey to align after relocating
dense kelp
Hmm...
zinc furnace
But I already found a way. Had to apply the glasses shape key as new basis, make a new shape key to move the glasses into the head, then set that as basis.
Convoluted but I got the results I needed
I don't wanna deal with huge mesh bounds or weird lighting
dense kelp
That's good
I could've sworn the shapekey locations were absolute though... maybe it's because it's taking the basis as reference...
zinc furnace
They're relative by default

@queen spade you could try using a photogrammetry software like meshroom and just clean up and rig the mesh in blender afterwards
forest cosmos
I can't remember how to fix this issues.
At some point, I copied an arm, then flipped it for the other side.
Then at some point, I made things symmetrical.
So both arms are the cloned copy. and it's not functioning correctly. In texture mode, if I draw on the arm, it shows up on the back, instead of the front. The texture also comes in with a seam.
Actually, a couple things have that same seam thing going on. I messed up somewhere.
Here's what I mean in Solid view.

proud ibex
So, this seems like the best place to ask, im not too sure. But i'm creating my own avatar and the model i downloaded to use as a base has shape keys to modify the body itself, and I want them to go past 1, up to like 2. So i set the max to 2, then exported but in unity, when i set the blend shape to 100, it's as if it was at 1. im not sure if im explaining it well enough, but can someone help out?
humble fern
easiest way would be to just duplicate the shape key so you can apply it twice. Not required, but if you want to you could then take that result and apply it to a new single shapekey on it's own so you don't need to do two every time
proud ibex
How would I go about duping the shape key? I'm pretty new to those
humble fern
apply the shape key, then in the drop down use new shape from mix
proud ibex
In blender correct?
humble fern
yeah
proud ibex
There is no apply or drop down for me

how do you import a fbx file into blender edit it and then import it back into unity with out breaking the model where ever you have made edits. my problem is i have a avatar that i wanted to edit so i stuck it into blender. then edited parts of the mesh and exported the fbx model as fbx and imported it back into unity. then where ever i made edits on the model it just spider webbed up down back and forth where ever i made edits on the mesh. some one said to me that i broke the key frames on the model when i did that and that i needed to import the whole unity package into blender but i don't know to do that. so does any one know what happend here and what i should do? or maybe have a video on it?

@distant girder https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/graphics/emissive-materials this might help

@distant girder you need to use a texture for the materialy, then make a copy and paint everything black except the parts you want to glow, then add it in the emission material slot. If you just use a color with no material use an emission shader like mkglow

forest cosmos
The weirdest issues is happing to me. So I textured my model myself (I'm not very good at it), and when I'm in the standard home world, just my skin is flickering between colors. Black, Yellow, and the actually color it's suppose to be.
In other worlds like the Box or an uploaded world, it looks perfectly fine.
And finally, if I'm in the Pug, if I look at my skin, my whole screen turns white. Testing it further, the more I move my body into my view, the more it becomes white, time it's just pure.
I didn't do anything to the texture of the skin I didn't also do to everything else, so I'm baffled.
Very fascinating

Oh yeah, I heard of that happening. It might be a normals issue

You need to have the fingers weighted to something i think.
You can use a transparent pixel texture (add alpha is transparent in the texture) and a standard shader with cutout to hide the mesh, though any projection shaders will show it, Avatar Testing has it with the flashlights.
You could also make that its own mesh and just hide the gameobject

wouldn't you just rig the third bone as the foot bone and the IK should be able to handle it natively as if you're on tip toes?

Cats are different than dogs though
Dogs are very limeted when it comes to their front legs, at least compared to cats.

cats are freakishly flexible, i'm pretty sure they can dislocate their shoulders at will.

@oblique wagon Don't break the prefab
If you change weight panting, add/remove bones, or edit any vertices, this'll happen and you'll need to re-add the fbx into your scene.
you can change bone positions in blender and override but you'll need to re-add the fbx, copy the position of the moved bone, and paste the position on the non moved bone on the original model.
summer plinth
Or just save the blend file to your Unity project and edit it from there
Won't have to keep re-exporting the FBX
That is, if you downloaded Blender through its website and not through Steam like some people I know

Just Google about the old Versions, Unity still have the old packs

You should not install/use the newest one, if you just want to make VRChat Avatars because, the SDK is not made for that. (Which means that it's will breake every thing, also because you just can Import in new/Upgraded Apps but than can't go back.
This is also with CorelDRAW and other Programms!)

deft laurel
Anyone here use Blender v2.79?
It updated automatically and now I have no idea what I'm doing. EVerything is different
It looks like UV mapping is completely broken, as it's not using the layout I set at all.
My model is super duper simple, it really shouldn't be this difficult. Why isn't it using the map I set?
I guess I'll just see if I can downgrade back to the version I'm familiar with. This is so frustrating...
Nope. I can't even do that. What the heck, man, let me use something I know how to use...
They haven't even updated the tutorial yet. There's no tutorial for this version so I have no idea where I can learn the new version from
If anyone knows how to use this version please help me ;-;
Even the user manual isn't helpful. It says nothing about this.
thorny fractal
your just trying to put the texture on it? its too low res im not really sure what nodes those are but i usually just do this
silent acorn
Does anyone know if having a model with multiple meshes affects performance? I'm making a low-poly model, and texturing will be waaay easier if I create another rectangular mesh instead of making loopcuts.
wary knoll
@silent acorn having extra meshes affects performance, but if it makes your work flow easier, you can create a second mesh, then merge it later to make it a single mesh.
As simple as selecting both meshes, and hitting ctrl+j in blender when you're ready to merge.
silent acorn
Oh, that's good to know! Thanks!

Quick question- What bone should the eyes be weight painted to? Currently, they're weight painted to Eye_L and Eye_R but when I do my eye tracking they pop out of my head a bit. I tried weight painting them to just the head and then it won't even create my eye tracking. wutdoido
zinc furnace
@river tangle pop out?
Screenshot?
It's probably bone placement
If you have real eyeballs that move, place the bone right in the center

they just stick out of the top ever so slightly when the eyes look down

how do I connect bones to a mesh that doesn't really have a full body. https://imgur.com/PMkco4T

gentle forum
Is it possible to change the Basis shape key, for example.. to change the default face of your mesh without having to re-do each and every other shape key?
grand mortar
@gentle forum i tired googling what u meant but I'm sorry i don't understand it yet. just started using blender a couple days ago
gentle forum
well, the basis key is the default pose for the mesh and vertices, if you change the basis it'll mess with all the other shape keys instead of remembering how the shape was before the basis key gets deformed..
past mountain
shouldn't it also work by pushing the shape key you want to have as the default to the top and by that making it the default one or is that what you mean rokk?
@grand mortar the way bones in a sense work in blender, is that if the vertex group name matches with the bone name then the bones controlls the vertex group. You just have to make sure that the mesh is a child of the armature
grand mortar
ahhh i kinda understand what u mean thanks for the help
i got it now. haven't slept cause of this
zinc furnace
@past mountain I dunno, not entirely and that might mess stuff up
past mountain
yeah that's correct, never really tested it out but in my head it shouldn't really break anything cause in the end it's just vertex positions, the problem would be that every other shape key will be refering to the base key. That could indeed mess some stuff up
@zinc furnace
but I guess it depends what you set as the base shape key
@grand mortar blender is good and it takes time to learn, but it's not worth enough to rob your sleep from you
grand mortar
I have the free time why not plus when I'm learning something I give it my all plus ultra. Thanks for the heads up tho.

hardy marsh
question
so i formed a sweater to a 3d model how do i do automatic weight paint on the sweater and panties so it moves with the bones and such
this is how i have it set up idk if thats correct
the sweater and panties dont have bones or a hirarchy
can anyone help please
hardy marsh
lets say there is a model of a person with no clothes and im trying to put clothes on this person.
umbral crystal
if there is a skin underneath the clothing then thats actually a lot easier
hardy marsh
and the person already has a armature
umbral crystal
use the transfer weights tool
cosmic nest
^
hardy marsh
transfer weights?
umbral crystal
source: by name destination: all layers
yes
if you select multiple objects
and and use weight paint mode on the active one
it will transfer weight data by nearest vertex or whatever setting you set
from the selected objects
so if you have skin underneath clothing it makes it 1000x easier and no clipping issues
hardy marsh
im a tad confused im a bit more of a visual learner
umbral crystal
bc its basically gonna follow what the skin is doing
look up transfer weights
the weighted mesh being the body/skin
the other one being the clothing
the setting where it says nearest vertex u can change to projected faces if u want
it just changes how the weights are mapped
try whatever looks best
press r to rotate bones so u dont have to leave the mode
can be cancelled with right click
hardy marsh
after i click parent with empty groups a thing comes up on the side that says make parent
and has some options but there is no button to parant it am i supposed to do anything when this comes up
@umbral crystal
umbral crystal
what
u dont use any button or anything
u dont need to do any parenting at all if its already in the armature
other than the process for transfer weights
if u want to re parent for whatever reason
then remove its parent then drag it into the armature with empty groups
hardy marsh
listen im new i dont know what any of this means im just trying to follow directions and im having a hard time
ive used blender plenty before
umbral crystal
just do what it says skipping the empty groups
hardy marsh
i just remodeled some stuff but theres plenty i dont know. do you know of any videos i can follow that show me how to do this specific thing
umbral crystal
after selecting the objects just go into weight paint mode
hardy marsh
so that looks fine
umbral crystal
select the body first then the pants or sweater (do the clothing seperately)
so u need to use shift-select
hardy marsh
do i select all of the meshs at the same time or do i just do body pant then body sweater?
that tab there does not pop up anywhere after i go into weight paint mode
@umbral crystal ?
hardy marsh
lol under tool tab?
umbral crystal
u click transfer weights and it opens up
no as a weight painting tool
where all the other ones are
like weight gradient and normalize
umbral crystal
ye
then after u change those
should work perfectly probably
and u can pose it to test
hardy marsh
so after you change the 2 settings it says to change in the picture what then?
you dont press anything you just move the slider and it does it?
i think that worked thanks for the help. sorry im such an idiot
um this didnt seem to work actually. with dynamic bones i mean im trying to get the chest and the butt to move with the pantys and sweater @umbral crystal
😦
so there are no weights set for the body for some reason
can anyone help me with this problem why wont the clothing move with the butt and chest with dynamic bones?
umbral crystal
selecting the wrong thing
undo what u did
again ur supposed to make the clothing the active object
so u select the body first then shift-select the clothing
select the body first then the pants or sweater (do the clothing seperately)
its the clothing that should be blue

You might need to set the viewport to GLSL instead of Multitexture, press n and it's in one of the sections there.

It's already set to that
I won't dwell on it too long since it'll be fine in Unity, I just don't get why some models do it and others don't
If I make new materials diffuse works on them, so it has to be a material setting of some sort

so like i have the aparment thing running fine, like put it as private world and everthing with like 2.5M tris , and it wasnt lagin, even had a few peeps come join, and they were doing fine
maybe till will slow down after i back all the stuff, but still its running fine

i just learned how to use blender last night
oh no
i cant upload
now i gotta learn how to rig
also texture
silent junco
very basic
quaint jasper
That's a very good start !
distant sapphire
yes very considering i litterally had no idea how to model while i was making it@silent junco
distant sapphire
if i did that
then when it was rigged
the feet would not be flat
i just made it go the direction the legs were going
silent junco
oh ok...
umbral crystal
yea but theyre inside the floor too
also ur gonna need to subdivide ur cylinders for rigging
cuz looks lik some of them are not cut in half
ripe pine
what are some good dynamic bones hair settings for a nice sway
umbral crystal
also typically depends on how many hair bones

Nice edit, brings out the features in a better way, especially with the eyebrows and the chin. You may want to correct the UV map as your editing has caused some wonkiness with the texture. Also if there's a face rig for the model you could make the eyebrows a bit more neutral and do the furrowed look on a gesture. @visual vigil

Yeah I'm gonna fix the uvs
Throw a normal map on it to deepen the grooves if possible

heh, I forgot this was a channel
I fixed up Dracula from Smash last week with visemes, and eyes set for rigging. Have to rename the armature manually though, since thats another mess to deal with

No matter what I do, the arms always come up in unity as if the normals are facing the wrong direction. While in blender they're right.
I may have solved the issue
Gonna try merging all the separate objects

Nice Dracula

How do you merge? Looks like the mesh is but not the uvs(blender)

hey guys! I know it must have been a recurring topic already but is it possible to create an avatar completely in Cinema4d and import it to Unity? I used to learn it years ago and when I tried getting into Blender my mind just rejects it entirely.I just can't get used to it at all It's driving me mad. 😓
dense kelp
If it's possible to create an armature and weight said armature on the model in C4D, then yes
@reef bramble

does anyone know how to make object move by its own Y axis in blender?
dense kelp
Press G to move and press either X,Y or Z to lock it to that axis
dense kelp
iirc on the bottom left corner, above the animation section you can select the type of drag selection, not entirely sure if that'd work out for your case specifically
Selected Object, Bounding Box, 3D Cursor etc
dense kelp
Seems the first input is global and the next is local, neat

thanks that actually helps me a little

When you guys create avatars do you usually go with 1024 x 1024 for the texture, or higher?
latent charm
I would say higher, or lower. It entirely depends on the texture itself. For example, if it has a lot of unique detail, higher. If it's small repeating detail, small.
umbral crystal
a diffuse color atlas: tiny
a detailed texture for an entire character or large entity: large
latent charm
When creating, if in doubt go large. You can always scale down.
spiral sigil
Obviously lol
umbral crystal
but be reasonable based on whats on it
spiral sigil
Thank you guys
umbral crystal
textures themselves are typically only a couple hundred KB in size tho
latent charm
When creating them do use a lossless format like png or tga, they get converted to something else in unity when you build the avatar anyway.
umbral crystal
theres compression methods also but unnecessary
the model itself is already pretty large
latent charm
And do enable crunch compression on the textures in unity, it brings the filesize down with minimal quality loss. People on slower connections will thank you for it. 😀
spiral sigil
Many thanks
near wraith
it looks very good ' 3')b
cold basin
Oooooo. Ok
spiral sigil
I see, cool. I ended up going with 2048 because I saw that the detail I wanted didn't look great with the size I had made the UV shells with 1024
jolly scroll
ok, basic question here. In blender. I can press middle mouse key to rotate on x or y axis. But how do I move my pov up or down? If I click on the model it moves the model relative to the center reference point, and I don't think that is what I want to do.
zinc furnace
Pretty sure you hold shift
jolly scroll
awesome, it works. Thank you.
