zenith relic Jun 16, 2019, 1:39 PM

#

so that thing is called sculpting.

zenith relic Jun 16, 2019, 2:52 PM

#

ive tried for frist time sculpting...but for some reason i cannot see what changes im making unless im switching back to edit mode to see the result
any ideas how to make it live when sculpting?

coarse kestrel Jun 16, 2019, 3:15 PM

#

erh if you're using the newest beta version of blender with dynotopo it should show changes in real time

#

I've had issues in the past but i had no issues doing just that today

zenith relic Jun 16, 2019, 3:43 PM

#

i believe i still have the 79 version of blender @coarse kestrel

#

i cant sculpt if i cant see what am i doing.

#

2.79 i have.

coarse kestrel Jun 16, 2019, 3:45 PM

#

then get 2.8 :3

#

it's what i use

zenith relic Jun 16, 2019, 3:46 PM

#

well if its beta..

#

does still has all the stuff 2.78 has?

#

yesterday it crashed a lot for me when i tried to edit an avatar 😄 that had over 50k poly.

#

alright...

#

il guess im switching to beta one

#

im not sure if i should use 8.0 since they tell us to not use it for saving important files.

#

@coarse kestrel same goes for 2.8

#

am i missing something?

#

📎 unknown.png

#

this is how 2.8 looks like to me

coarse kestrel Jun 16, 2019, 4:09 PM

#

nope looks about right

#

actually

#

you'll want to disable "load ui" in your perferences then load your blend file again

#

because your tabs are all messed up

zenith relic Jun 16, 2019, 4:10 PM

#

well this is how as default looks like..

#

i havent done any change to it

#

disabled load ui..

#

gonna take a while till il find the buttons i was using on the older version

#

2.8 doesnt have other differents views? like material-texture-solid?

#

wow...lots of improvements on the fps side..

subtle jackal Jun 16, 2019, 4:34 PM

#

material view was more or less replaced by Look Dev

zenith relic Jun 16, 2019, 4:39 PM

#

i cant see the materials with the new blender..

#

or probably 2.78 used the textures as materials..(witch i didnt see the textures in texture view)

#

i still cant use the sculpting thing

#

works now i think. (the sculpting)

coarse kestrel Jun 16, 2019, 5:15 PM

#

woo!

vale nimbus Jun 16, 2019, 5:23 PM

I have Blender 2.79 and I can also see my changes straight away in sculpt mode

thought this might be useful. I had a few ask me how I make clothes so I made a tweet tutorial thats been broken up so if you click the first one you just hit view for the rest of them.

I remember I use to make actual 3D models from Scratch; it would take me 1 to 5 mins mins to do a basic foundation; however, I haven't done it in so long, so it would take me 5 to 10 mins. And I am sure it would take me 1 hour just to refine the look

#

XD

bitter leaf Jun 16, 2019, 10:22 PM

#

Yeah the base is always quick its adding in details that take time. I usually spend double the time on detail I just went through this quick.

zenith relic Jun 16, 2019, 10:41 PM

daring karma Jun 17, 2019, 7:32 AM

My bad! I don't remember what it said now, but I thought he was suggesting that we should rip models from that game

grizzled anvil Jun 17, 2019, 7:41 AM

#

That's a big gap of a misunderstanding 😂

daring karma Jun 17, 2019, 7:47 AM

Oh, he deleted the OG message I was responding to - he mentioned something like "we should rip from this game" but I suppose he could have meant take inspiration from it 🤔

bitter leaf Jun 17, 2019, 8:41 AM

Marvellous designer is great to use but a lot of the time they are way too high poly

zenith relic Jun 17, 2019, 9:17 AM

#

ive just hit my self in to something that starts to get annoying..
like: if i have something near the target i need to select i cant because the other one is already selected..

📎 unknown.png

#

the dot on the left of the selected one (witch is way behind it)
i cant select it while the other one is selected...thats annoying.

#

i wish i could fix blender 2.79 to do the stuff there..
im quite dissappointed in 2.8

latent charm Jun 17, 2019, 9:19 AM

#

2.8 is still beta you know

zenith relic Jun 17, 2019, 9:19 AM

#

maybe beta...but thats something obvious.

#

the only thing that i like...is the performance increased/graphics and some of the interface, feels more light...

latent charm Jun 17, 2019, 9:21 AM

#

Are you using right or left click to select

zenith relic Jun 17, 2019, 9:21 AM

#

i think im going back to 2.79, with the idea that im trying to fix that issue..

#

for now only the default controls (left click)

latent charm Jun 17, 2019, 9:22 AM

#

Try swapping, one of the weird benefits of the right select mode is the gizmo responds to one click, and select to another, and they don't interfere with each other.

zenith relic Jun 17, 2019, 9:23 AM

#

ive hide the thing like this

#

📎 unknown.png

latent charm Jun 17, 2019, 9:23 AM

#

Or that

zenith relic Jun 17, 2019, 9:23 AM

#

and it responds to double click i think...(less worse)

#

nah nvmind

#

if i hid that. i cant get an acurate movement..

latent charm Jun 17, 2019, 9:24 AM

#

I have right select on and the gizmo location doesn't cause any problems with selecting

zenith relic Jun 17, 2019, 9:24 AM

#

like moving the dot to a certain way...like X or Z or Y

#

2.79 has a lock witch you can move

latent charm Jun 17, 2019, 9:25 AM

#

move it and press z x or y to lock it to that global axis, or the same key twice for local space

zenith relic Jun 17, 2019, 9:25 AM

#

here feels like grab

#

probably i need that thing on again.

latent charm Jun 17, 2019, 9:26 AM

#

select a vertex, press g then x, that'll move the vertex along the global x axis with no need for the gizmo

zenith relic Jun 17, 2019, 9:26 AM

#

📎 unknown.png

latent charm Jun 17, 2019, 9:26 AM

#

Yup

zenith relic Jun 17, 2019, 9:26 AM

#

works only with those on. (the one that gets in the way

#

without it doesnt work

#

anyways...il stop complaining

latent charm Jun 17, 2019, 9:27 AM

#

No it does work, move the mouse

zenith relic Jun 17, 2019, 9:27 AM

#

gimme some hints of how to fix that in 2.79 if u have

latent charm Jun 17, 2019, 9:27 AM

#

What exactly are you trying to do

zenith relic Jun 17, 2019, 9:27 AM

#

📎 unknown.png

#

only with this thing on i can move in one direction

#

well as an example...trying to move the poly or dot or surface in to 1 direction like Z

#

without moving it by accident to other directions.

#

it works with those on

latent charm Jun 17, 2019, 9:29 AM

#

So select the vertex, press g then press z and just move the mouse until it's in position

zenith relic Jun 17, 2019, 9:29 AM

#

but those things gets in the way if i have less space between the polys..

#

aaa there u go

#

thats much better

#

left click works like grab but only in all directions

latent charm Jun 17, 2019, 9:30 AM

#

You can also hold shift to slow it down for more precision

zenith relic Jun 17, 2019, 9:30 AM

#

much better

#

i know material was replaced with dev view

#

any clue if i can re-use that?

#

i still dont fully understand how sculpt works

Does anyone have some advice on how this characters textures where done? It's a quest avatar. Is it a combination between the mobile shader and a hand painted texture or an ao bake maybe?

void narwhal Jun 17, 2019, 3:17 PM

#

the jacket looks hand painted perhaps an AO bake would be hard to tell

#

rest of the detail for shadows look like toon ramps or something from a shader

manic iris Jun 17, 2019, 3:32 PM

#

@small cloud i did merge vertices

small cloud Jun 17, 2019, 3:32 PM

#

it's clearly not merged

#

joining meshes and merging verts are two different things

void narwhal Jun 17, 2019, 3:33 PM

#

did you select the vertices when you merged em*? and check the distance and actually check if they're merged

manic iris Jun 17, 2019, 3:33 PM

#

On neck and head I went and merged every vertice at center

small cloud Jun 17, 2019, 3:33 PM

#

can either remove doubles if they're over eachother, or do it manually

manic iris Jun 17, 2019, 3:34 PM

#

Wym doubles?

void narwhal Jun 17, 2019, 3:35 PM

#

remove doubles basically merges verts based upon a distance that you can define
but it's set to default at an absurdly low value for the sake of "removing doubles" like 0.000001

manic iris Jun 17, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

On blender I merged vertices, but in game it break that’s what confuses me

void narwhal Jun 17, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

it might be a weight painting issue

#

check the weights

manic iris Jun 17, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

This is my first headswap so thanks for helping me out as well lol

void narwhal Jun 17, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

otherwise give a better image cause it's kinda hard to see

manic iris Jun 17, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

Crap I never looked at weights

#

So I should look at my weight paints?

void narwhal Jun 17, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

yes for neck and maybe the head

small cloud Jun 17, 2019, 3:40 PM

#

weightpaint issue doesn't cause holes when things are merged

#

if there's a hole, the vertices are not merged, it's that simple

manic iris Jun 17, 2019, 3:41 PM

#

Let me show u what I see on blender

#

Cuz I believe I have them merged

#

definitely not merged

#

otherwise you'd see orange lines going out from the other side

manic iris Jun 17, 2019, 3:49 PM

#

i thougt i had merged tho

#

aslt + m and cenetr merge

void narwhal Jun 17, 2019, 3:49 PM

#

you can press G to move a vert

#

and right click to cancel the movement just to test it

#

also just use "remove doubles" and adjust the distance as need be

#

make sure you select the verts you intend on merging

manic iris Jun 17, 2019, 3:51 PM

#

its not even letting me move the verts

#

@void narwhal

#

i can select but i cant move them

void narwhal Jun 17, 2019, 3:57 PM

#

are you pressing G with your mouse within the 3d viewport?

manic iris Jun 17, 2019, 4:25 PM

#

Yes

void narwhal Jun 17, 2019, 4:26 PM

#

how about you take a screenshot of blender then perhaps i can give you a solution rather than guessing blindly

coarse kestrel Jun 19, 2019, 5:02 PM

it's likely an issue with weight painting

make sure things aren't weighted to stuff like the arms

the entire avatar is blue

#

thats the prob

#

@coarse kestrel

coarse kestrel Jun 19, 2019, 5:08 PM

?

you'll want to make sure you have the rig selected first before you select weight paint mode on the model

manic iris Jun 19, 2019, 5:09 PM

#

im using most current version on steam

#

lemme check

coarse kestrel Jun 19, 2019, 5:09 PM

#

it's probably 2.7 as 2.8 is in the beta branch

manic iris Jun 19, 2019, 5:10 PM

#

yea

coarse kestrel Jun 19, 2019, 5:10 PM

#

ok i think you need to go into pose mode with the bones

#

then shift select the body then go into weight paint mode to select the bones while editing the weights

manic iris Jun 19, 2019, 5:11 PM

#

ok im there

coarse kestrel Jun 19, 2019, 5:11 PM

#

can you select the bones in weight paint mode now?

#

you'll need to shift select the bones

#

but they should show up as blue and allow you to move them

#

while still being able to paint

manic iris Jun 19, 2019, 5:13 PM

#

i cant see the bone i need to paint though

#

im attempting to fix the neck

how do i make something ore blue?

manic iris Jun 19, 2019, 5:34 PM

ill lyk if it works when i test

coarse kestrel Jun 19, 2019, 5:34 PM

#

just spin the arms and whatever around until you notice anything being out of place

manic iris Jun 19, 2019, 5:36 PM

#

the neck is the only problem

#

everything else is fine

#

because it did a headswap

#

📎 unknown.png

#

do i need to make that more red or more blue?

coarse kestrel Jun 19, 2019, 5:51 PM

#

blue means it isn't weighted

#

red means 100% weighted

manic iris Jun 19, 2019, 7:14 PM

#

@coarse kestrel I max weighted

#

But there is still a hole

#

Do I have to move the head down?

coarse kestrel Jun 19, 2019, 7:15 PM

#

well

#

could also be that the head isn't actually connected properly to the body

#

as in the vertices aren't merged from the head to the neck

#

but since it was a headswap doing so can be difficult and more work

manic iris Jun 19, 2019, 7:19 PM

#

i mean they seem connected

#

📎 unknown.png

#

#

but then i get this in game:

coarse kestrel Jun 19, 2019, 7:27 PM

#

yup just as i thought the model isn't connected properly

#

seems there's a lot more wrong with it though than i can really see from here

#

can you take a picture of the neck close up in blender?

#

yup it is

#

the faces on the neck are overlapping but aren't merged

#

might cause the verts to merge incorrectly but yup

#

problem is there might be too many verts along the base of the head compared to the neck

manic iris Jun 19, 2019, 7:31 PM

#

do i merge with f or alt+m

coarse kestrel Jun 19, 2019, 7:31 PM

#

that works ye

#

mhm

#

make sure you select "at center"

#

so it doesn't get all weird

manic iris Jun 19, 2019, 7:33 PM

#

so i need to redo it and merge and not have them overlap?

coarse kestrel Jun 19, 2019, 7:33 PM

#

redo? just select two verts one from the head and one from the neck at the place where the model overlaps

#

and go around the neck until it's fully merged all the way around

#

📎 unknown.png

manic iris Jun 19, 2019, 7:35 PM

#

ellumi do u merge with alt+m or f

#

f creates a new poly

oh, I thought I was the only one that used paint.net for textures!

#

It's honestly a really good program

ancient escarp Jun 20, 2019, 8:38 AM

#

I use paint.net for everything.

#

I have photoshop, but I stick with paint.net.

indigo stirrup Jun 20, 2019, 8:44 AM

I use Paint.NET for almost everything

#

tried to learn GIMP when I was a little kiddo, one day in school friend shows me Paint.NET, have been using since.

As a great man once said, "It just works".

ancient escarp Jun 20, 2019, 8:45 AM

#

Can't remember when and why I started using paint.net.

#

But I'm glad I did.

#

Best part about it, is that you can install custom plugins.

#

Which makes the program even better.

"great man" 🤣

Maybe I could work more efficiently with photoshop, but paint.net's just comfy as hell to use.

#

Yep.

dull canyon Jun 20, 2019, 8:50 AM

#

if you have like 20usd or so to spare I can highly recommend Clip Studio Paint

it's like the inbetweeny of Photoshop and GIMP/paint.net

#

and it's regularily on sale

ancient escarp Jun 20, 2019, 8:51 AM

#

That's a good one too.

dull canyon Jun 20, 2019, 8:52 AM

since it's actually made for just painting/drawing you get a lot more options than paint.net or gimp

#

without the big price tag of PS

indigo stirrup Jun 20, 2019, 9:04 AM

#

I DONT want the options tho

I also dont want mspaint

pdn is the perfect stopgap between kiddy and hell for me

dull canyon Jun 20, 2019, 10:06 AM

well you don't need to use all the options, the default brushes work fine too

#

or even just the standard round brush

#

anyways, use what you're most comfortable with, just throwing it out there that there's some good value alternatives

I have another goofy issue if anyone is willing to help. When I subdivide a face, some vertices still have a sort of ghost edge in between them.

coarse kestrel Jun 20, 2019, 6:13 PM

#

that's just how blender is splitting up the faces

#

if you want to "fix" the issue use the knife tool to cut down the middle of the ghost face to make two triangles instead of a square

cedar gazelle Jun 20, 2019, 6:14 PM

#

The knife tool does the same thing

coarse kestrel Jun 20, 2019, 6:14 PM

#

📎 unknown.png

#

like that

cedar gazelle Jun 20, 2019, 6:16 PM

#

That just moves the "ghost edge" somewhere else

void narwhal Jun 20, 2019, 6:16 PM

#

it looks like this "ghost edge" you might be confused with is simply more geometry beneath it

coarse kestrel Jun 20, 2019, 6:16 PM

#

probably that too but if using the knife tool "moves it" then it isn't that

void narwhal Jun 20, 2019, 6:17 PM

#

also don't go around subdividing triangulated meshes

coarse kestrel Jun 20, 2019, 6:17 PM

#

yeah lmao

cedar gazelle Jun 20, 2019, 6:18 PM

#

What I'm seeing when I subdivide is the creation of what is supposed to be a flat plane, but is actually a 3d shade without a selectable edge.

coarse kestrel Jun 20, 2019, 6:18 PM

#

yup

#

like i said it's blender trying to figure out how the poly is being created.

void narwhal Jun 20, 2019, 6:18 PM

#

again you're getting confused due to the geometry beneath also try rotating your camera

#

the purple colored geometry is a separate object i believe

cedar gazelle Jun 20, 2019, 6:19 PM

#

This has nothing to do with the purple geometry, I know thats a different model

#

@coarse kestrel If thats the case, is there a different way to split these planes that will work?

coarse kestrel Jun 20, 2019, 6:20 PM

#

can you show me all the "ghost edges" you're trying to fix?

void narwhal Jun 20, 2019, 6:21 PM

looks like you have a duplicate face

#

though it might be an idea to just and space some of those verts out a bit more because that can cause shading problems too

void narwhal Jun 20, 2019, 6:41 PM

#

yeah no idea really i've experience this issue before in the past i think it's in relation to vertex order or maybe some sort of issue when handling the deformation in relation to multiple quads

#

but really you shouldn't be subdividing triangulated meshes

coarse kestrel Jun 20, 2019, 6:42 PM

#

well when the entire model is tris it doesn't matter anymore

void narwhal Jun 20, 2019, 6:47 PM

#

just triangulating it after subdividing would definitely fix it but again you shouldn't really be subdividing tris

#

there's an actual process if you wanna actually subdivide something even if it was triangulated to begin with

@zenith relic in edit mode select the faces and hit shift + n

shift+n?

#

oke..

dull canyon Jun 22, 2019, 10:28 AM

yeah, that recalculates the normals

zenith relic Jun 22, 2019, 10:28 AM

i hope i wont have that issue i had on 2.79 (flipping normals and nothing was visible but physicaly it did switch)

#

i want to flip surfaces

#

not re-calculate

#

dammit.

dull canyon Jun 22, 2019, 10:29 AM

#

what do you mean by flip surfaces then

#

that they're facing the opposite direction?

zenith relic Jun 22, 2019, 10:29 AM

#

if i have a surface with the face/facing the inside the box...the face becames invisible in game or unity.

#

yes

that's exactly what shift + n does

recalculate tries to determine the proper direction automatically

based on the mesh

woven scroll Jun 22, 2019, 10:34 AM

Recalculate makes all the normals consistent in regards to neighbouring faces

dull canyon Jun 22, 2019, 10:34 AM

flipping does a "hard" flip of the current direction

Imgur

carmine dragon Jun 22, 2019, 5:42 PM

Try turning off Use Creases on the Subdiv, or use smooth vertices on the 5 faces on the edge and then use the 3d mouse to realign the center vertices so that there is no gap

dull canyon Jun 22, 2019, 5:43 PM

turning off use creases doesn't seem to change anything

and smooth vertices somehow creates an additional edge

thats... strange, its like it has a crease on it..

For Blender 2.80 CATS Users

To access CATS in 2.80, press "N" on your keyboard to open up the side panel in your viewport. Next, on the right side of that toolbar should have the following tabs View, MMD, Misc and Cats. Once you have found the tab, select it and you're good to go!

Note: If you don't see the following tabs, then it could mean that CATS is out-of date! To update it, you can download it from its github page here: https://github.com/michaeldegroot/cats-blender-plugin
Once downloaded, go into "Edit -> Preferences", click on Add-ons and then "Install...". Find and add the zip you downloaded from the github page and then enable it.

anyone know where I can find resources on painting shading onto clothes?

#

@slender holly be aware of your model topology and how it reacts to transforms, also, checking what your model looks like in smooth shading from time to time, you can make a convincing circle with 10 sides for example.

void narwhal Jun 24, 2019, 1:55 AM

#

@slender holly retopology or you gotta work in the mindset of low poly topology with good deformation
but really don't be too overly concerned about poly count

#

@indigo stirrup for toon styles just look up references/tutorials outside of 3d modeling aka anime or cartoons
if you aren't dealing with a toon/anime style just look up AO baking

indigo stirrup Jun 24, 2019, 2:00 AM

#

that's a good tip, thanks.

thorny fractal Jun 24, 2019, 3:18 AM

You can bake out curvature maps and overlay those on your texture for some baked detail. Could probably get some stuff out of it that youl wouldn't get from baking ao maps. At least for stylized looks I do it some times

thorny fractal Jun 24, 2019, 4:38 AM

does anyone know if tis possible to use a custom direction/ flow map with a tiling detail normal map and generate a new textures where the flow map drives what direction the detail normal map faces. or maybe not a normal map maybe a hieght map that can then be fed into a normal map generator cuz rotating normal maps can be weird

#

in a character before i lines all my hair uvs from going top the top to the bottom of the texture so i could feed in a detail normal map for hair strands and then use an anisotropic shader but i had to distort my uvs a bit so i would like to just hand paint a flow map for the anisotropic shader that can also be used to generate a secondary normal map for the strand details

#

its always possible that i could just do some photoshop magic to distort a hiehgt map to run along the length of the UVs and then convert that to a normal map but this could speed up the process since i still need the custom direction map in the end for the anisotropic shader

very similarly to this but this works in a way that isnt exactly how i would want it to be because it kinda does some other random scattering and stuff to try to make it look like fur when that's not what I'm using it for

Would a good work flow for sculpting a model be doing a low poly base for the entire thing then sculpting? Or block out the shapes? I've seen tutorials where they grab different shapes and merge them. What's the best way to go?

dull canyon Jun 26, 2019, 6:23 AM

#

I think there's no single best way, it's mostly personal preference for the most parts

but as with drawing in 2d it's generally advised to start with big simple shapes and slowly add more and more details

thorny fractal Jun 26, 2019, 8:49 AM

It's personal preference. I personally don't really like working in zbrush so I usually block out shapes in blender first but a lot of the time I see people blocking it out in zbrush and doing everything there

i need assist

#

i cannot find "remove doubles" in 2.8

i think remove doubles was replaced with merge by distance

fringe rock Jun 26, 2019, 9:19 PM

not sure I dont use 2.8 that often

zenith relic Jun 26, 2019, 9:47 PM

yes it was replaced with merge by distance

#

anyone know of a way to like sorta do the opisite of subdivide something

#

cuase i made something in autodesk inventor

#

but when i put it into blender it just all of a sudden added a bunch of verticies

latent charm Jun 27, 2019, 12:29 AM

#

Blender has a decimate modifier, which if your mesh is quads can be set to unsubdivide

#

Although in your case a screenshot might help figure out what's going on

sterile laurel Jun 27, 2019, 12:31 AM

#

its conbinded

📎 imconfuzed.PNG

#

so i made the head in autodesk

#

but then i made the body off of the head in blender

#

like its one solid object

#

so this will make things hader

#

harder*

#

and i aleady added the limbs

#

😛

latent charm Jun 27, 2019, 12:32 AM

#

Might be a case of split the head off, use decimate on it and re-join

sterile laurel Jun 27, 2019, 12:33 AM

#

but then i would have to redo the limbs

#

!??!?!

latent charm Jun 27, 2019, 12:34 AM

#

Nope, it'd preserve the weights and everything and would be fine after being rejoined.

sterile laurel Jun 27, 2019, 12:34 AM

#

how do i split it

latent charm Jun 27, 2019, 12:35 AM

#

p key in edit mode

#

and ctrl+j to join two objects together

sterile laurel Jun 27, 2019, 12:35 AM

#

sorry i havent decapetated someones head before ||in blender||

#

modifier can not be applied to a mesh with shape keys

latent charm Jun 27, 2019, 12:40 AM

#

Yeahhh, can't decimate something with shape keys. Might have to rethink your workflow or do some manual poly reduction.

sterile laurel Jun 27, 2019, 12:40 AM

#

i mean

#

it still brought the faces down to 784

#

imna try and do it without applying it

#

and while still merged

#

oh nice with an angle of 5 it brought it down to 1800

sterile laurel Jun 27, 2019, 1:04 AM

#

i fixed it thx man

#

i just re imported it

#

split it

#

and deleted the old head

#

and then decemated

#

and joined

#

and fixed heat map on head

When creating a texture for a model what size is best ?

hardy agate Jun 27, 2019, 4:04 AM

#

i dont really know if there is a "best" it kinda depends on the model, if its supposed to look cartoony, you could possibly get away with a very small texture with a bunch of colored dots on it, if its supposed to look realistic, you will probably want a decently sized texture, such as 1024 by 1024.

Fixing scale problems exporting .fbx files from Blender to Unity 5

It's a bit of a pain to correctly export meshes from Blender to Unity 5 using .fbx and retain the correct scale. Making a note of how to do it properly here for future reference. By default, Unity 5 applies a 'File Scale' of 0.01 and a 'Scale Factor'

onyx juniper Jun 27, 2019, 1:59 PM

#

Did you all know that you can save Blender's native .blend file directly into your Unity project folders, and Unity will recognize and import it?

dull canyon Jun 27, 2019, 3:28 PM

#

neat

zenith relic Jun 27, 2019, 3:31 PM

#

connect them they are in pieces that happens..

#

@icy edge

#

connect the meshes before u make changes with sculpting..

latent charm Jun 27, 2019, 4:44 PM

#

@onyx juniper @dull canyon This is slightly misleading. Unity doesn't read native .blend files, it has a feature that converts the blend file to fbx behind the scenes.

dull canyon Jun 27, 2019, 4:45 PM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

onyx juniper Jun 27, 2019, 4:57 PM

#

@latent charm Yeah, I know. But the functionality under the hood isn't contrary to the simple practicality I was describing. No extra converted files, no scale fixing.

ashen stag Jun 27, 2019, 5:41 PM

#

I don't think it's a good idea to put your blend files in your unity project as it's just another file to package up when we inevitably upgrade to 2018 LTS. Blends are much larger than fbx

latent charm Jun 27, 2019, 5:45 PM

#

That and using the .blend 'importer' gives you limited control over the export settings, most importantly the ability to select specific objects to export.

icy edge Jun 27, 2019, 8:57 PM

Ah ok @zenith relic

is it normal for unity to show the skin texture as a purple even though textures are there

distant carbon Jun 28, 2019, 1:20 AM

#

If I recall correctly it's because the shader is missing or something along those lines, either way it's easily fixed by changing the shader back to standard or some other shader

sonic nimbus Jun 28, 2019, 6:29 PM

#

@cinder wraith The weird shading is a sign of poor mesh topology

#

You probably joined too many vertices together and now there isn't enough geometry to properly store the vertex normals.

so difficult to make a head...probably because of low skill..

covert fractal Jun 29, 2019, 4:56 PM

So I got a model (it's an .obj) that has 54,428 polys. And with my model, it puts it over the 70k limit in Unity.
Imported it in Blender (using CATS), and trying to use the Quick Decimation (to bring it down to a more comfortable Poly limit). But when I try, it says "No meshes found!"
How do I add a mesh? Semi-sort of new to Blender.

zenith relic Jun 29, 2019, 6:51 PM

probably u need to select the meshes(avatar surface) to reduce poly..

im literaly stuck at making the head of the avatar 😦

is there a sane way to paint a map in blender that isn't the main texture

#

is using blender to do texture painting a sane option in the first place

#

I know there are some crazies who use it for everything up to and including their audio work

stark crystal Jun 30, 2019, 1:47 AM

#

@stoic ridge i use it for texture painting - it's really good for it

#

trust me its a very much sane option

#

i see so many people do that

#

i just finished part of my model, so i can show it to you - everything done in blender

#

not that great but ehh

#

i even used blender texture painting to pain alpha channel for that part of the cloth thats transparent in the arms

stoic ridge Jun 30, 2019, 1:54 AM

#

yeah right now I'm using it not to paint the albedo, but to paint up the metallic

#

there is probably a proper way to do this

#

this job is truly the worst because the UV map doesn't put similar things near each other, nor does it put things near each other if they are in close proximity on the model

stark crystal Jun 30, 2019, 2:02 AM

#

@stoic ridge u can paint metallic maps, roughness maps, etc in blender too

but you do you
