i used to go full-time when i was little

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 2:33 PM

#

thanks...

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 2:33 PM

#

but slowly went out of pace

slender holly Jul 31, 2019, 2:33 PM

#

Im 5 months in and i have only missed a collection of 10 total days of not practicing art whatsoever

#

and no days missed 3d modeling

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 2:34 PM

#

what ever

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 2:34 PM

#

Paladin

#

that attitude will NOT get you anywhere

#

can't say "whatever" to the truth

#

you can't do it? you don't like art? simple, just quit.

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 2:34 PM

#

know whats fun, spending an entire day until 2 am in the morning drawing something then being told its all done wrong....

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 2:34 PM

#

or show love to it

#

that's NOT how art works

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 2:35 PM

#

I know that...

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 2:35 PM

#

i knew a 12 year old years ago that could draw a piece of anime or a realistic portrait of his dog under 4 hours

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 2:35 PM

#

but I cant have done EVERYTHING wrong

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 2:35 PM

#

because he spent A LOT of time practising art

#

he drew everything daily

#

after school, all the time

#

and you? a simple thing spent hours on once in who knows

#

that's not gonna cover it

#

i do regret quitting art because that was my biggest hobby at the time

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 2:36 PM

#

I've been drawing for ages since i was 10

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 2:36 PM

#

i drew since 2009

#

but those were sketches

#

from boredom

#

didnt get into it until 2011

#

you have a bad pace

#

just because you drew that long ago doesnt mean you get good instantly

#

pace matters more than age

glad steeple Jul 31, 2019, 2:37 PM

#

Also no willingness to improve or listen to criticism.

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 2:37 PM

#

Motivation is kinda annoying..

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 2:37 PM

#

okay

#

motivation is annoying? quit

#

that's it

slender holly Jul 31, 2019, 2:37 PM

#

To improve you have to fail.

#

and keep failing

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 2:37 PM

#

^ and i failed to improve and improved at one time

slender holly Jul 31, 2019, 2:38 PM

#

i gotchu

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 2:38 PM

#

i was at my peak in 2017

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 2:38 PM

#

I know your just trying to give me advice and help.

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 2:38 PM

#

i remember that day i just sat on my bed and drew

#

man the good times

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 2:38 PM

#

but its kinda annoying being told everything i've done is wrong

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 2:38 PM

#

i remember wanting to draw that anime-like facial structure and i somewhat succeeded after a year

glad steeple Jul 31, 2019, 2:39 PM

#

You are acting like being told something is wrong is a bad thing.

#

wrong =/= bad

void narwhal Jul 31, 2019, 2:39 PM

#

being told something is wrong is a great thing to help you improve

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 2:39 PM

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 2:39 PM

#

i didnt even do 1 thing right? 😦

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 2:39 PM

#

ok look someone called someone an n-word

slender holly Jul 31, 2019, 2:39 PM

#

bruh im 5 months in still trying to master fuckin SHAPES

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 2:39 PM

#

dammit

slender holly Jul 31, 2019, 2:39 PM

#

I can finally draw a decent circle lmao

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 2:39 PM

#

i lost track of my example

#

thanks

void narwhal Jul 31, 2019, 2:40 PM

#

if anything being unaware of what is wrong is horrible

#

^sorry for the delay lagged out hard

slender holly Jul 31, 2019, 2:40 PM

#

damn i need to draw now

#

yall have a good day

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 2:40 PM

#

i'm glad to be told that i've done something wrong, but DID I REALLY Do everything wrong

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 2:40 PM

#

now you did

#

but you didn't before that attitude of yours

void narwhal Jul 31, 2019, 2:41 PM

#

but right and wrong in art is entirely subjective soo try addressing what's right or wrong within your style or vision

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 2:41 PM

#

i also did that

#

saw how my early 2017 art was horrible and fixed it

#

erased some parts and fixed it

#

simple as that

#

an artist sees a lot of details

#

small details to be precise

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 2:42 PM

#

Sorry....

glad steeple Jul 31, 2019, 2:42 PM

Chill out

slender holly Jul 31, 2019, 2:43 PM

can we just come to a agreement that hands suck

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 2:43 PM

#

yep

#

they do

slender holly Jul 31, 2019, 2:43 PM

#

to model and draw

stable edge Jul 31, 2019, 2:43 PM

#

I thought this was for modelling not for drama

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 2:43 PM

#

i'll just accept i do everything wrong and delete the drawing and start all over again because i suck.

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 2:43 PM

#

well shit happened

void narwhal Jul 31, 2019, 2:43 PM

#

not really a very fitting place to discuss 2d art or art in general

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 2:43 PM

#

im off to eat

stable edge Jul 31, 2019, 2:44 PM

#

Neither of you are doing the right thing I swear

#

You both have sht attitudes

glad steeple Jul 31, 2019, 2:44 PM

#

I was trying to help but it turned into a melodrama

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 2:44 PM

#

@glad steeple sorry for being a shit person

glad steeple Jul 31, 2019, 2:44 PM

#

see

slender holly Jul 31, 2019, 2:45 PM

#

i think youre the one who escalated it, zzz

#

we were actually having a pretty good conversation if you actually read and scroll up

#

and if you think theres a problem, contact an admin.

stable edge Jul 31, 2019, 2:45 PM

#

Yeah that's what I came from

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 2:45 PM

#

Look i know i did stuff wrong I just want to know did i do anything at all anything right in the drawing anything?

glad steeple Jul 31, 2019, 2:46 PM

#

You did do some things right

stable edge Jul 31, 2019, 2:46 PM

#

Most of this is just bored trying to flex and paladin apologizing

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 2:46 PM

#

knowing what i did right and wrong is all i really want to know instead of just be bombarded with several people telling me i did stuff wrong

slender holly Jul 31, 2019, 2:47 PM

#

Bored hasnt been flexing wtf?

#

We were talking to paladin about improving at art and giving him inspiration

stable edge Jul 31, 2019, 2:47 PM

#

Well yes, but no

glad steeple Jul 31, 2019, 2:47 PM

#

Read the stuff you did wrong, and the stuff that wasnt mentioned is the stuff you did right, process of elimination! 😄

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 2:47 PM

#

i over think

slender holly Jul 31, 2019, 2:47 PM

#

and bantering about how improving at art is actually fucking REALLY hard

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 2:48 PM

#

if you tell me i did something wrong i end up thinking EVERYTHING i did is wrong

slender holly Jul 31, 2019, 2:49 PM

Hey its modern art ;)

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 5:44 PM

#

anyone else having the new blender update?

#

noticed that I can't use CATS plugin in the new blender

#

please ping me so we can discuss

quaint jasper Jul 31, 2019, 5:49 PM

#

@spiral sigil Get the latest version of the addon ?

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 5:49 PM

#

oh, no is it on the site?

quaint jasper Jul 31, 2019, 5:50 PM

#

It's anywhere, discord, website, github

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 5:50 PM

#

what should the version number be?

#

just wanna be sure I dl the right one

#

thanks ruu!

quaint jasper Jul 31, 2019, 5:51 PM

#

I have no idea, the latest would the best to use

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 5:51 PM

#

alrighty

grave jetty Jul 31, 2019, 5:51 PM

#

btw where is it located ruubick?

#

the addon on blender?

quaint jasper Jul 31, 2019, 5:51 PM

#

Press N

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 5:51 PM

#

oh like where would it be when installed?

quaint jasper Jul 31, 2019, 5:51 PM

#

on the left menu

#

You really got to look at their website or github

#

there's explanation with gifs and all

void narwhal Jul 31, 2019, 5:52 PM

#

isn't it the right now?

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 5:54 PM

#

oh!

#

yeah

#

it appears by N, and there's a little tab says CATS on the right, among the others

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 6:21 PM

#

can i ask something?

#

how do i set up images in blender to model around

ashen stag Jul 31, 2019, 6:23 PM

#

Section called background images in the menu that opens with N

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 6:26 PM

#

thanks

#

now how should i start modelling?

ashen stag Jul 31, 2019, 6:29 PM

#

Not my forte I avoid doing things from scratch. But first step is to use simple shapes(sqaures and cylinders) to block out your character

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 6:29 PM

#

look up Blender Fundamentals playlist on YT

#

use that

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 6:36 PM

#

here i go

📎 unknown.png

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 6:42 PM

#

no mirror modifier?

#

also stick to the quads

#

don' go tris when modeling

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

they arent tris

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

good

#

keep them that way

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 6:53 PM

#

I'll try finding out how to set up mirror modifier i guess

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 6:53 PM

#

📎 unknown.png

#

there

#

but cut your box in half

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 6:56 PM

#

its the one just called mirror right?

📎 unknown.png

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 6:57 PM

#

yes

#

you might have to check the boxes to get to the other side

#

usually it's on the left

#

but you have to mirror it to the left

#

not right

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 6:58 PM

#

?

📎 unknown.png

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 6:58 PM

#

yup

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 6:59 PM

#

I dont think i'm doing the arms correct

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 7:03 PM

#

yep

#

you're not

#

you need a hole

📎 unknown.png

#

and extrude the hole

#

till you reach elbow

#

then adjust the shape and shoulder

#

extrude again but after elbow

#

extrude to the wrist

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 7:05 PM

i will be done quick

for the torso

quaint jasper Jul 31, 2019, 7:11 PM

#

@mild trellis Remember that you can also switch to sculpt mode and use the grab feature to move things around

#

much better than the proportional editing

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 7:12 PM

#

i doubt they own a tablet for it

#

doing sculpt with mouse sucks

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 7:12 PM

#

like this?

📎 unknown.png

quaint jasper Jul 31, 2019, 7:12 PM

#

sculpting with mouse is fine 😄

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 7:12 PM

#

well....yeah?

#

@quaint jasper try drawing with a mouse

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 7:12 PM

#

i have a drawing tablet

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 7:12 PM

#

good

dense kelp Jul 31, 2019, 7:14 PM

#

Doing precise things with a mouse is generally hard until you get a hang of it, if you have more proficiency with a tablet you'll likely highly prefer it over a mouse as it is far more natural

quaint jasper Jul 31, 2019, 7:14 PM

#

I've modeled a few things with my mouse, they ended up fine, he's not doing professional modeling anyway

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 7:14 PM

#

@mild trellis a'ight im ready

📎 unknown.png

#

just set up some image stuff

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 7:15 PM

#

here we go...

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 7:16 PM

#

shit

#

ive forgotten the shortcut for making a thing

#

to make it half

dense kelp Jul 31, 2019, 7:16 PM

#

The mirror modifier?

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

no no

#

cut the cube in half

#

like, add some sort of seam in middle

#

ive forgotten that

dense kelp Jul 31, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

K

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

been years since i modeled

#

not that either

dense kelp Jul 31, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

For Knife, Z to pass through

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

it autmatically makes a center cut

dense kelp Jul 31, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

Ah that i'm unsure of

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

CTRL R

#

CTRL R

#

dammit

#

@mild trellis this is what i do next

📎 unknown.png

#

i make it half

#

now its mirrored

📎 unknown.png

#

time to model

#

oh and i ticked Clip on

#

clipping

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 7:19 PM

#

📎 unknown.png

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 7:19 PM

#

otherwise it wont mirror the shape too

#

yea yea

#

good start

#

i usually start off around the collarbones

📎 unknown.png

#

and usually end up near the neck

📎 unknown.png

#

later ill make a cut to the center

#

but first i wanna make some edits to the torso

#

form the shape before bust and other parts

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 7:24 PM

#

ok

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 7:24 PM

#

this is my simple form

📎 unknown.png

#

simple quad form

#

i can however make a full collarbone adjustment

quaint jasper Jul 31, 2019, 7:25 PM

#

Could use some subdivision

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 7:26 PM

#

yea i know

#

this is easier to work with

📎 unknown.png

#

so i could later give it some seams

#

CTRL R thing

#

make a decent cut for the armpit holes

#

or whatever they call it

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 7:29 PM

#

ok

#

maybe i should restart the model...

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 7:30 PM

#

nah

#

you can delete seams on quads easily

#

select them by holding ALT i think

#

and press X

#

and select Delete Edges

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 7:31 PM

#

brb

#

hold alt and click the lines to delete the multiple and then delete the thing you want yea.

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 7:34 PM

#

yea i guess

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 7:35 PM

#

I'm unsure if i'm good with what i have so far

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 7:36 PM

#

also when you reach that, delete the pussy vertice

📎 unknown.png

#

you later want to extrude the thigh

#

without that other thing coming in contact

quaint jasper Jul 31, 2019, 7:36 PM

#

personally i started with a sphere, cut the bottom and top edges then moved the vertices on the axis, working with super low poly geometry sucks

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 7:36 PM

#

@quaint jasper sorta but hey, whatever works

quaint jasper Jul 31, 2019, 7:37 PM

#

and that makes it even harder to be satisfied with what you have

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 7:37 PM

#

there's the thing that makes your model more high quad

#

Subdivision Surface i think

#

not the best thing

#

but does the job

quaint jasper Jul 31, 2019, 7:37 PM

#

subdivision for edges is great

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 7:39 PM

#

I'm going to start the model over

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 7:39 PM

#

i also CTRL R'ed these two areas

📎 unknown.png

#

to form a better shape, and make a cut for neck

#

and a decent cut is made

📎 unknown.png

mild trellis Jul 31, 2019, 7:40 PM

#

Bored might be btter to send me this via dm

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 7:40 PM

quaint jasper Jul 31, 2019, 7:41 PM

#

there's also videos pinned in this channel btw

slender holly Jul 31, 2019, 7:41 PM

and tutorials on youtube]

#

althought following a tutorial on more complex models is insanely hard to follow because a lot of people go over it too fast to copy

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 7:42 PM

#

Blender Fundamentals playlist is good for starting off

#

i used that when i got into blender

#

sssshit

#

i did something idiotic

#

instead of the pussy vertice i shouldve cut the hole for the thigh....

#

dammit

#

got it

why do you have tris on quad model

#

this is bothering me

#

this part

📎 unknown.png

#

is a demon spawn

#

shiiii, how do you flatten this loop

📎 unknown.png

#

S+X -1 does a flip

#

lol

quaint jasper Jul 31, 2019, 7:52 PM

#

because i can just do alt + J at then end and that fixes everything ?

#

better to work with tris most of the time

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 8:29 PM

#

ok so i found all the vertex that are making contact with the shape keys

📎 unknown.png

#

this group

📎 unknown.png

guess its now fixed

as i check i cant see any deformations

📎 unknown.png

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 8:36 PM

sorta

#

i think the suggestion on the circle modeling by @quaint jasper is a better way to do it

#

ive never done it

#

so i dont know myself

#

but i believe him since i cant model for shite

#

but practice

#

some like cube modeling

#

some like circle modeling

quaint jasper Jul 31, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

I like the sphere because you start with a low poly mesh, but you still have existing curves to work with

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

true

#

and shape keys work now

📎 unknown.png

#

no problems even inside the head

#

also idk why

#

but this haircut without the front part

#

looks slightly like the one Pearl from SU would have

#

without the bang of course

now lets fix the body texture

and remove nipples

if im correct, you use some Subdivision

because like hell you can make it THIS smooth manually

#

adjusting every loop cut

quaint jasper Jul 31, 2019, 8:41 PM

Yeah, the sphere started pretty low, i subdivided twice

It seems like blender 2.8 breaks a lot of old .blend files due to the removal of the blender renderer

#

Anyone else having the same issue?

spiral sigil Jul 31, 2019, 10:15 PM

#

That generally happens when a large change occurs in programs. Older doesn’t always go to newer. I’d recommend using 2.79 for the older blend files then if you want to, continue using 2.80 for new ones.

Blender 2.80 isn’t exactly directly meant for the purposes we want it for anyway, plus it’s still very new so Hotox is still updating Cats to function with it properly for work. So you’re better off sticking with 2.79 for old blend files for now

white cloak Jul 31, 2019, 10:16 PM

#

thanks, i'll be sure to keep a copy of 2.79 for older files

Uninstall the current version and reinstall the previous one ?

tepid wagon Aug 1, 2019, 10:29 PM

#

Download old version from Blender website

#

You can have new version at the same time as long as it is in different location, I got both 2.79 and 2.8

feral radish Aug 1, 2019, 10:30 PM

#

Okay thank you

onyx juniper Aug 1, 2019, 11:51 PM

Blender 2.8 so such a huge update

#

Is there any way of accessing Plugins in Blender 2.8?

quaint jasper Aug 2, 2019, 12:27 AM

#

I believe you press N and it's now on the right

mellow olive Aug 2, 2019, 12:29 AM

#

I don't see my Plugins. Also I want to make sure, by Plugins I mean like CATS.

#

Or Add-ons.

quaint jasper Aug 2, 2019, 12:30 AM

#

Yep, that would be the menu

#

or maybe T ?

mellow olive Aug 2, 2019, 12:31 AM

#

Nope, that was the menu for scaling, transformation, etc.

quaint jasper Aug 2, 2019, 12:33 AM

#

😦

onyx juniper Aug 2, 2019, 12:34 AM

#

A huge update indeed.

quaint jasper Aug 2, 2019, 12:34 AM

#

It should be N

#

Don't know if you have special keybinds, but it's the one that works for everyone else

mellow olive Aug 2, 2019, 12:35 AM

#

I do not have special keybinds. Sorry, it's just I haven't used Blender since 2.79, and 2.8's layout's really got me fucked up.

#

However

quaint jasper Aug 2, 2019, 12:36 AM

#

Yeah i won't make the switch to 2.8 until i'm done with all my current projects for that reason

mellow olive Aug 2, 2019, 12:37 AM

#

there is a small Addon Menu, but it only has "Cycles Render Engine" in it.

Are you in the Cats Discord ? If not you should join and ask

#

That's how to add add-ons, not use them AFAIK

tepid wagon Aug 2, 2019, 12:39 AM

#

He meant that there is no CATS tab?

quaint jasper Aug 2, 2019, 12:39 AM

#

Most likely, i know the menu isn't opened by default in 2.8

spiral sigil Aug 2, 2019, 6:29 AM

#

cool

dull canyon Aug 2, 2019, 6:57 AM

#

CATS is accessible via hitting N in the viewport and then selecting the tabs on the right that show up

#

but you have to make sure that the plugin is actually enabled too

ok so im trying to make a turtleneck dress by using parts of the chest and modify it from there to make it easier and save some time.

the fold-over seems to be transparent since the entire thing has no thickness and is an overlay like usual.

how do i fix this?

Fix it so you can see both sides in blender or make it double sided with verts?

spiral sigil Aug 2, 2019, 8:27 PM

#

don't double geometry for no reason, just render backfaces aswell

#

@ashen stag idk how to fix to see both sides

#

i see the same on most avatars in VRC

#

the insides are transparent

#

since they are overlays like mine

ashen stag Aug 2, 2019, 8:29 PM

#

In the N menu there's a checkbox for backface culling, you want that off

spiral sigil Aug 2, 2019, 8:29 PM

it is

#

still transparent

📎 unknown.png

#

it doesnt render the inside

ashen stag Aug 2, 2019, 8:32 PM

I don't know what would cause that besides the backface culling sorry

spiral sigil Aug 2, 2019, 8:32 PM

#

mmm

spiral sigil Aug 2, 2019, 10:33 PM

#

inside is transparent cause nobody will see those, so back faces get culled

#

why over rendering something

#

if you need to see it then model backside aswell or don't cull backfaces on that material

dense kelp Aug 3, 2019, 4:19 AM

#

If the issue isn't backface culling then it's a transparency issue, unticking transparent in the material for it should suffice if that's the case

dull canyon Aug 6, 2019, 5:54 AM

#

in Blender the only way I know is using shape keys

#

I guess you could do bones and weight paint

#

but that sounds like a pain

#

unless you absolutely need full control over the face

#

You can use the sculpt tools or move vertices with the connected tool

dull canyon Aug 6, 2019, 7:17 AM

#

yeah for that you'll be better off just using shape keys I think

not at all, i'm somewhat ok at anatomy so i was just goofing off while seeing what I could come up with

#

at least head anatomy

#

body not so much

quaint jasper Aug 8, 2019, 5:29 PM

#

I think it's easier with a reference of some kind, unless you know exactly what you're trying to make

pulsar skiff Aug 8, 2019, 5:32 PM

#

I'm incapable of using references, I was raised as a realism artist so anytime I drew with reference I always copied the reference 100% without ever deviating from the reference image.

This killed my interest in art and made me feel like all i was capable of doing was copying photos or life, and I stopped being able to be creative.

So if I were to use a reference image for anything, it'd end up looking exactly like the reference, which might be good, but it'd end up killing 3d sculpting like regular art was killed for me

#

sorry for the long rant lmfao

small valve Aug 8, 2019, 5:55 PM

#

does anyone know why cycles baking in 2.8 is so slow now? feel like im doing something wrong

#

tried doing UV bake type and taht didnt work, switched to combined with only diffuse ticked to make tex atlas, hoping it goes well this time

#

but its taking forever just like my last botched attempt (edited the existing UVMap directly instead of a new one, mega yikes)

#

in fact, ive looked here and there but ive yet to find a tutorial that properly explains how to make a tex atlas in blender 2.8, much less with vrchat

#

baking just results in only my hair getting tex (really scuffed tex) and nothing else...

#

also, what's up with the texture atlas plugin being gone? hope that doesn't affect anything...

#

been reading up, looks like cycles workflow is dogshit in 2.8

#

might reinstall 2.79 and try again

#

i hope blender projects are backwards-compatible...

tepid wagon Aug 8, 2019, 6:12 PM

#

Usually files from older versions of a software can be read by new versions not the other way around but who knows

small valve Aug 8, 2019, 6:15 PM

#

mmf. i just wanna know how to bake everything proper in 2.8 fff, i already have the UVs laid out, i just dont know why baking isnt going swell

#

📎 unknown.png

#

also, do i have to hit unwrap for every single object?

#

i dont want to fuck up any UVs that are already pretty fine, how the hell did the texture atlas component from 2.79 just unwrap them without changing them?

tepid wagon Aug 8, 2019, 6:20 PM

#

2.79 had pin UV island option which made them hold their position even after you unwrap them, maybe it is also present in 2.8?

#

Previously P was for pin and Alt+P was to unpin

small valve Aug 8, 2019, 6:22 PM

#

eeek, so im taking that as yes then? thats gonna be a bit annoying to put everything back in place

#

im currently trying out these settings for baking, hopefully it somewhat turns out okay this time:

📎 unknown.png

tepid wagon Aug 8, 2019, 6:23 PM

#

Just save your project before unwrapping as Im stil lworking in 2.79 and havent learned 2.8 yet

small valve Aug 8, 2019, 6:23 PM

lovely, it didnt even bake anything at all, diffuse just kinda fucks it up

im reinstalling 2.79 lmfao

tepid wagon Aug 8, 2019, 6:24 PM

Didn't have any decent success with baking normal maps in Blender and haven't tried diffuse maps baking so can't help with that at all

small valve Aug 8, 2019, 6:25 PM

its fine, it wont be long after this till the avatar is done anyway

only other thing i bake in blender anyway is subsurf

or at least, im going to actually not be lazy this time and bake my subsurf maps instead of trying to make them in paintDOTnet

to atlas in 2.8 you gotta switch to cycles and make some nodes, it will bake onto the selected node which should be a new texture node

i add a texture called base color

pick the color

then scroll down and change the color on the wheel and paint on the map thingy

You should use automatic weight paint if you have the armature

@proud grail the reason the hair bones are like that is likely due to their origin not matching the armatures' when it got merged.
You can select all of the hair bones in edit mode and match them properly, or re-do the merge after applying rotation, location and scale

Have you removed doubles ?

I'm trying the headswap thing but the bones won't move with the head I'm putting on when I'm adjusting it

glad steeple Aug 11, 2019, 4:07 PM

#

I can't believe they renamed remove doubles

#

That hurts my soul tbh

proud grail Aug 11, 2019, 4:10 PM

#

Like here's my problem

📎 Capture..PNG

#

The bones lined up with the hair when I imported it, but how can I get them to stay with the hair when I move the head?

proud grail Aug 11, 2019, 4:26 PM

#

Anyone know how to help with this?

strong thistle Aug 11, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

weight paint the hair bones only to the hair and use dynamic bone s in Unity

proud grail Aug 11, 2019, 4:41 PM

#

weight paint?

strong thistle Aug 11, 2019, 4:44 PM

#

yes weight painting is a operation performed in blender
i suggest you check out a few youtube tutorials on the subject and it will be more clear

#

its not the easiest steps to do in modeling and it will take a bit of time to master it

proud grail Aug 11, 2019, 5:23 PM

#

Well I figured it out, I needed to grab a certain bone to drag all of the head to a spot

fickle pecan Aug 11, 2019, 5:43 PM

#

too many bones

#

why not just have the hair static

glad steeple Aug 11, 2019, 5:49 PM

#

Thats not the meta

proud grail Aug 11, 2019, 6:55 PM

#

Now my problem is that I'm trying to join the model to the neck but it keeps turning into a no-neck creature

#

I'll get some screenshots here in a sec

#

So when I try to join the armatures, it just lowers the head.

@proud grail if youre doing it through cats, checkmark "apply transforms"

#

if not, then select everything out of edit mode and hit ctrl+A > location/scale/rotation

#

then join after it's been done

proud grail Aug 11, 2019, 7:37 PM

#

Ah okay, I'll have to do that when I get back from work

#

I was doing the second method even though I'm using cats

So I've been trying to make a ken ashcorp based avatar for vrchat, but I really want to add a gesture where I can pull off the leggins ever so slightly to reveal the ken ashcorp logo.

How can I effectively pull away the leggings so it does the same thing as in the picture? and how do I model that without it getting broken?

swift heart Aug 12, 2019, 10:22 AM

#

shapekeys?

spiral sigil Aug 12, 2019, 10:38 AM

#

^

dull canyon Aug 12, 2019, 12:58 PM

#

yeah, shapekeys and separate meshes, or just model the leg just far enough so you won't see the transition from leg to leggings and use just one mesh

#

unless you want to make it actually dynamic to pull with your hand, no idea how you'd do that

#

probably with colliders or something?

small cloud Aug 12, 2019, 1:30 PM

#

inverse dynamic bone collider

oak notch Aug 12, 2019, 1:30 PM

#

I was thinking attaching the mesh to a finger bone, which will disappear when the gesture is deactivated,

#

along with the duplicate leggings

swift heart Aug 12, 2019, 2:05 PM

#

that would work

proud grail Aug 12, 2019, 7:53 PM

#

Is there a possibility i might be able to get someone to help me through making this model in a discord call? I feel like having someone talk me through it would help a ton

spiral sigil Aug 12, 2019, 7:55 PM

#

i forgot how to access mesh menu and flip normals on Edit mode, 2.79b

#

pls help

#

CTRN-N flipped normals again but differently and now other part is not fine

tepid wagon Aug 12, 2019, 9:41 PM

#

T -> Shading/UV's -> Normals -> Flip Direction

robust niche Aug 12, 2019, 9:44 PM

#

You have to select the area you want to flip normals on, otherwise it does the whole model if the entire thing is selected (or unselected)

pulsar skiff Aug 12, 2019, 10:03 PM

#

When bending a strand of hair in a curve, the middle of the strand bends inwards and the end flares out, does anyone have a way of fixing this? Am I not using a modifier or setting i should be?

📎 slightly_less_ew.JPG

robust niche Aug 12, 2019, 10:26 PM

#

can you grab the other sections of the curve and try scaling just the tip?

#

Im assuming the curve is just a large scale, but is also flattened around the curve

pulsar skiff Aug 12, 2019, 11:32 PM

#

so doing this results in a very bumpy texture which when smoothed our ends up looking like the same curve as before

proud grail Aug 13, 2019, 12:25 AM

#

I said this before, but could I have some sort of vocal tutor to help me finish making this model? I'm sure it would help me get it done a lot faster

quaint bronze Aug 13, 2019, 12:40 AM

#

@pulsar skiff Is this in Blender or Zbrush?

pulsar skiff Aug 13, 2019, 12:42 AM

#

blender

quaint bronze Aug 13, 2019, 12:43 AM

#

Are you using the Thumb tool to pull the hair out?

#

It seems the thumb tool has that indentation but the Grab tool doesn't - maybe try pulling the hair strands using the grab tool instead?

pulsar skiff Aug 13, 2019, 2:40 AM

#

i was using grab and proportional editing, and both caused the problem. Is it because i've got a high poly count?

#

or that i was using a plane and adding a solidify modifier?

earnest socket Aug 13, 2019, 6:53 AM

#

Hey has any one used blender 2.8 to create a texture atlas?

foggy maple Aug 13, 2019, 6:54 AM

#

@earnest socket The material combiner is available in 2.80 if you want an automatic solution

earnest socket Aug 13, 2019, 6:57 AM

#

yes I know I've tried that but whether I do it manually or with the plugin my new uv map isn't using the right image and not rendering the texure on it. so my Model is only black.

@daring roost if youre using Maya or something with a multicut tool you can get some more subdivisions in there

They arent using maya, and you dont need too

blender can do exactly what you need it too

wait i'm looking up decimate and thats for reducing mesh faces isn't it?

glad steeple Aug 15, 2019, 8:58 PM

#

Decimate is exactly what the word means

#

it destroys the mesh to remove faces via an algorithm
