quaint jasper Dec 9, 2019, 5:56 AM

#

you should contact the blender support or ask on their forums then

#

it's usually very straightforward, but this could be a more complex issue or a bug

Hi guys, I need help with blender.
I am creating "shape keys" of the mouth and some vertices move mirror correctly , but others do not. For what is this?
I searched help on google and I haven't found anything.

tepid wagon Dec 9, 2019, 9:22 PM

#

Looks like if verticy isn't perfectly mirrored it won't move. Copy coordinates of one vert to the other and change X axis value to negative, see if X mirror works after that @twilit swan

twilit swan Dec 9, 2019, 9:25 PM

#

@tepid wagon Same coordinates and X axis to negative and nothing... :C

tepid wagon Dec 9, 2019, 9:26 PM

#

Did you try removing doubles?

twilit swan Dec 9, 2019, 9:26 PM

#

Let's try...

tepid wagon Dec 9, 2019, 9:26 PM

#

or merge at distance if its 2.80 same thing

twilit swan Dec 9, 2019, 9:27 PM

#

Removing doubles and nothing.

tepid wagon Dec 9, 2019, 9:28 PM

#

I tried making my mesh assymetrical (it braked x-mirror) and then symmetrical again and it was fixed. Wonder what is wrong here

twilit swan Dec 9, 2019, 9:28 PM

This not working too

tepid wagon Dec 9, 2019, 9:29 PM

#

The point of this was to remove verticies that are on top of another, selecting two that are on the other side won't do anything

Yes, I can move mirroring other verts

but not that verts

example, I moved 3 verts, only 2 was mirror

tepid wagon Dec 9, 2019, 9:34 PM

#

Did you try removing doubles? You didn't really tell me. Press "A" to select everything "Alt"+"M" -> "Merge by distance". Right after press "T" and in the menu on the left change merge distance to .0001

But I did "remove doubles" before with CATS

Have you tried weight painting yet?

Weight painting is a bit annoying

tepid wagon Dec 9, 2019, 11:09 PM

#

It is hell of a ride* no one is expecting

onyx juniper Dec 10, 2019, 3:14 AM

#

@silent junco after you have some weights on it, paint weights on after putting the model into problematic poses

silent junco Dec 10, 2019, 6:31 AM

#

Yeah ik

twilit swan Dec 10, 2019, 9:43 AM

#

Yes, I tried the weight paint with other models, it's an odyssey!
Now I am doing face shape keys, which seems to be the easiest.
I am afraid when I start creating bones.

runic isle Dec 11, 2019, 12:14 AM

#

I'm kinda new to 3D-modeling, what resource would be the best way to get started?
Like, any certain YouTube video series or documentation? Thanks!

tepid wagon Dec 11, 2019, 12:20 AM

#

You could try Blender Guru Donut tutorial for Blender 2.80 to get yourself familiar with the UI

steady zealot Dec 11, 2019, 3:20 AM

#

People like to rag on Blender Guru, but his tutorials are very informative, and at a good pace for beginners to grasp what he is doing easily.

idle niche Dec 11, 2019, 6:29 AM

#

It depends on what you want to model

#

If you want to do humanoid characters, don't bother with blender guru, although it's not bad at all. I'd lookup something along the lines of a beginner character modeling course

#

Or try and get someone why already knows to teach you the basics

#

If you want to do general modeling and are 100%clueless about 3d software, then yes, blender guru is good. lots of other channels are good also

#

You'll always learn best from actual courses or people though

#

@runic isle

median pike Dec 11, 2019, 7:11 AM

#

I suggest just trying stuff out. At least for me, trying to teach myself everything and just googling the specific thing I dont know how to do is the fastest way of learning for me. This might create bad habbits tho

solar fossil Dec 11, 2019, 7:18 AM

#

Even if you want to model humanoid, I would recommend to start with blender guru, so by the time you get to modeling humanoid you'll already be familiar with the modeling medium

halcyon hare Dec 11, 2019, 7:40 AM

#

Tradtional learning of human anatomy is extremely helpful for humanoid modeling as well

is there a way to extrude from a flat plane in blender like this

You could try to knife tool the shape you want and than extrude, or use loops

#

you guys think it will be hard to recreate this frosty head

solar fossil Dec 11, 2019, 9:47 AM

#

Shouldn't be too hard if you get the basic shape and than sculpt it, just be careful to not ad too many tris when sculpting

#

Or go one step further and add details thru normal mapping

bold zephyr Dec 11, 2019, 9:52 AM

#

i never got into 3D modeling though so i dont know where to start

#

@solar fossil

solar fossil Dec 11, 2019, 9:57 AM

#

Well, I'm not that skilled myself, but I would start by breaking the model into basic shapes

silent junco Dec 11, 2019, 10:10 AM

#

You don’t need to worry about too many tris when sculpting

#

It’s actually a good idea to make it very detailed

#

Then use a copy of the basic shape to bake uvs on

ashen stag Dec 11, 2019, 10:11 AM

#

Yeah just retopo takes time

silent junco Dec 11, 2019, 10:12 AM

#

Which is why you can make a semi high detailed base mesh before sculpting that has good topology

#

And bake sculpture as normally

no it wouldn't as the way you would have selected to change the shape wouldn't affect the thickness

you rotate the camera so that you're at the bottom of the Hat

basically grab the top and bottom faces of the edges of the hat and turn on proportional editing so you can make the the Hat into a curved shape when you grab it using the G key https://i.gyazo.com/ca4990eb9e76c375926d36f24f25eda7.png

right, I'm a complete beginner with blender, but the usual person I bug for help is afk. I've somehow disabled the background grid???
If I go into a 2d viewpoint via numpad hotkeys the grid shows up but as soon as I move the camera at all it immediately vanishes?? It's not super important from what I gather, just kind of weird that it vanished on me, don't know what I've done

main hinge Dec 12, 2019, 4:01 PM

#

Im somewhat new to blender, but I have a cylinder that I want to extrude the side faces out so i have another segment outward. the only way I seem to be able to do so is to select the faces and the E to extrude and immediately right click then scale. The problem is the scale scales it on all axis so its not level with the middle of the cylinder. Is there an easier way to extrude outward on one axis?

#

Nevermind, i found i can press shift + z after scaling

#

Sorry D:

latent charm Dec 12, 2019, 4:03 PM

#

If you want to extrude along the faces' normal directions you can use alt+e for some extra extrusion options

Ahh thats a lot easier! thanks!

Ive only modeled levels in probuilder in unity and im pretty good at extruding/moving/welding vertices together but i want more control so ive moved to blender. i hope to learn more as I craft my next level. appreciate it

quick question, when orienting a sword in blender, do yo point it up or forward?

#

also, do you put the origin on the handle or the geometric center of the sword model?

steady zealot Dec 16, 2019, 9:29 AM

#

I point them up

#

origin on hand grip spot

#

but it doesn't really matter as far as I know

#

hand grip origin is useful for certain animations

silent junco Dec 16, 2019, 9:34 AM

#

Doesn’t matter

#

Depends on how you prefer modeling it

austere inlet Dec 16, 2019, 9:34 AM

#

which is why I'm asking what people's preferences are and if they have a good reason for it

silent junco Dec 16, 2019, 9:35 AM

#

I don’t really make props often but I do both

#

Just make sure the middle of the handle is at the center of everything

steady zealot Dec 16, 2019, 11:03 AM

#

Having the origin be the handle makes aligning the weapon in your hand a little easier, and allows for easy sword spinning animations and stuff like that. Also, If you want your model to be a projectile (ie. An Arrow or Missile) it's best to have it oriented upwards, because the velocity based alignment uses the upward direction as the forward direction.

anybody have any recommendations for sources of Trim Sheets?

azure rain Dec 18, 2019, 10:03 PM

#

what about trim sheets are you looking for

steady zealot Dec 18, 2019, 10:04 PM

#

I'm looking for trim sheets themselves

#

Premade ones.

#

I need some brutalist/concrete/dystopian textures

azure rain Dec 18, 2019, 10:05 PM

#

you're probably going to have to end up paying for those if you want pre-made ones

steady zealot Dec 18, 2019, 10:05 PM

#

Even if I wanted to buy them, I can't seem to find any

#

I guess I'll have to just make my own somehow

Yeah I know how to make them

#

Thanks though

#

But that first site is actually a really good find, thank you

azure rain Dec 18, 2019, 10:08 PM

#

hope you find the ones you're looking for

#

and I would recommend at some point learning how to make trim sheets yourself as they're quite helpful but I suppose good to start to learn how to use them on environments

steady zealot Dec 18, 2019, 10:09 PM

#

As I said, I do know how to make them

#

I'm just trying to save time

#

and I'm not that good at sculpting detail

azure rain Dec 18, 2019, 10:11 PM

#

so taking a look it looks like wood cost you fifteen or twenty bucks to go get some trims

steady zealot Dec 18, 2019, 10:12 PM

#

which isn't expensive at all tbh

#

Well worth it I think

#

but unfortunately that site didn't have the type i was looking for for this particular project

azure rain Dec 18, 2019, 10:13 PM

#

which is not surprising as concrete doesn't tend to come in trim shapes architectural

steady zealot Dec 18, 2019, 10:13 PM

#

It would seem that way

azure rain Dec 18, 2019, 10:14 PM

#

having to look at brutalist architecture you're probably going to be okay just using tiling concrete

steady zealot Dec 18, 2019, 10:14 PM

#

Yeah, I just wanted worn edges

#

and like, repeating blocks

#

Guess it's time to hit up substance painter lol

@sleek arrow did u already resolve that? Looks like strange vertex normals or unmerged verts

Vertex look not connected soo a fast way would be to merge the double. @sleek arrow

sleek arrow Dec 19, 2019, 8:41 PM

#

It's slightly better than what it was, just looks like dimples on the side. I am just concerned it'll show up when I AO bake.

#

I would show a picture, but it's just the bare butt atm lol. I don't know if I'm allowed to even if it isn't NSFW.

#

I usually get them when I sculpt and most of the time, not even smoothing would fix it.

stray topaz Dec 19, 2019, 9:25 PM

#

I could help with that Koviana, it seems like an easy fix

#

and while I'm helping Koviana, does anyone know of any tutorials that show how to do texture atlasing in blender 2.8?

ionic snow Dec 19, 2019, 9:45 PM

Anyone remember what I do to separate parts of a mesh in Blender? I forgot

quaint jasper Dec 19, 2019, 9:54 PM

@stray topaz Wdym ? It's pretty much the exact same steps

#

@ionic snow press P

ionic snow Dec 19, 2019, 9:54 PM

Clicking P doesn't seem to work though

#

Just, nothing happens

stray topaz Dec 19, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

not really the texture atlas plugin is not there for blender 2.8

sleek arrow Dec 19, 2019, 9:56 PM

#

Oh thank you! I'm still studying 3D modelling, so I'm sorry if I ever ask anything dumb. ;_; I appreciate your help! 😄 @stray topaz

stray topaz Dec 19, 2019, 9:57 PM

It's all good, just going to take another glance at the picture you had

so i just opened it up, and it looks completely smooth so now I'm confused lol

#

don't mind my horrible panties ;-; I'm really bad with sculpting panties to a body lol.

stray topaz Dec 19, 2019, 10:02 PM

#

my guess is it had flat shading at first, it was just a matter of switching it to smooth shading in the faces menu in edit mode

sleek arrow Dec 19, 2019, 10:02 PM

#

I've noticed sometimes when i go into sculpting, some things change as well.

glad steeple Dec 19, 2019, 10:04 PM

need to pull them pants up

sleek arrow Dec 19, 2019, 10:04 PM

I know. :c I'm the worst with panties

#

anything that is strip like, i have the worst time sculpting to a body lol

stray topaz Dec 19, 2019, 10:05 PM

#

well everyone has to suck at something first before they get better, I feel like I'm having to re-learn blender again with the new UI

sleek arrow Dec 19, 2019, 10:06 PM

#

I just started 2.8 almost a month ago

#

it was insanely overwhelming

stray topaz Dec 19, 2019, 10:08 PM

#

How I went about it (which I bet you're doing the same thing) is to take it one step at a time and ask Google stuff like "blender 2.8 loop cut shortcut" or something of the sort

sleek arrow Dec 19, 2019, 10:08 PM

#

Yeah, I watched ALOT of sculpting videos.

#

I recently learned AO baking which i absolutely love, because I used to hand draw my shading on

#

Now I'm wanting to learn how to create hair, which is a bit harder to find videos about

#

I see videos of actual sculptors making hair, but I feel like thats different than avatar hair

glad steeple Dec 19, 2019, 10:10 PM

#

Learning in pieces is almost the only way to learn

#

with how many features there are it would be impossible to not do that

stray topaz Dec 19, 2019, 10:11 PM

#

For the panties, it might help to use snapping to face and use the solidify modifier

📎 blender_o0Jw5pERrq.png

ionic snow Dec 19, 2019, 10:11 PM

#

Managed to get the separation part to work but now I'm having trouble deleting the parts I want, since I'm probably selecting them in the wrong way. They delete, just only where I drag the box

#

I remember you could select the points another way instead of dragging a box

sleek arrow Dec 19, 2019, 10:12 PM

#

What I usually do is I search body bases on DA, and if the verticies on the body look decent, I can make panties from that and shape it

quaint jasper Dec 19, 2019, 10:13 PM

#

You can also use the blender function to relax geometry, it does a better job than smoothing afaik

sleek arrow Dec 19, 2019, 10:13 PM

#

relax geometry?

stray topaz Dec 19, 2019, 10:15 PM

#

is it similar to maya with smoothing without shrinking the shape?

quaint jasper Dec 19, 2019, 10:15 PM

#

it's an add-on

#

part of the default ones, so you just turn it on in preferences

stray topaz Dec 19, 2019, 10:15 PM

#

Mesh: Relax?

quaint jasper Dec 19, 2019, 10:16 PM

#

that sounds like it

stray topaz Dec 19, 2019, 10:16 PM

#

yeah, got it enabled already

#

also, I made the "weighted normal" modifier my best friend and it never let me down so far

sleek arrow Dec 19, 2019, 10:19 PM

#

Ooo

stray topaz Dec 19, 2019, 10:20 PM

#

oh and pair it with mark sharp to keep those sharp edges that you want to be sharp with the weighted modifier

silent junco Dec 19, 2019, 10:21 PM

There’s also skinwrap

#

Modifier

sleek arrow Dec 19, 2019, 10:21 PM

#

whats skinwrap do?

silent junco Dec 19, 2019, 10:22 PM

#

It makes a mesh cover a surface

sleek arrow Dec 19, 2019, 10:22 PM

#

so if a mesh doesn't fit another mesh, it would fix it?

silent junco Dec 19, 2019, 10:22 PM

#

Basically snaps all verts to closest surface on another mesh

sleek arrow Dec 19, 2019, 10:23 PM

#

oooo i like the sound of that, is it an add on?

silent junco Dec 19, 2019, 10:23 PM

#

No it’s a default modifier

stray topaz Dec 19, 2019, 10:23 PM

#

I still can't find out how to do texture atlasing with 2.8, it just looks like theres a long way around with the cycles rendering and video tutorials go way too fast or don't go into detail on what to do for the two UV maps

sleek arrow Dec 19, 2019, 10:23 PM

@sleek arrow it's part of the settings no ?

@sharp flicker I can make that but will take quite the time if you want it the best quality.

But somthing like that no one will make for free.

thats like at least a month of work there if you want to make exactly as it is on paper

#

Alot of engravings on the model to

#

So sculpting may be needed to use a normal map lol

#

that in itself takes time

don't you need to make the engraving on a seperate model to make it on the basic model

#

as a normal

dull canyon Dec 20, 2019, 9:28 PM

not necessarily

you can do a low poly mesh and use a multires modifier

when you just quickly need to texture something without having to manually unwrap it

tepid wagon Dec 20, 2019, 9:51 PM

#

Yeah creating rooms with custom furniture fox example could be done so much faster now

#

Although I tried other model with less poly and it crashed twice

#

but it did really good job here except that it couldn't possibly know which parts to mirror and which need the same texture

#

btw it took it about a minute to unwrap it

#

I spent few hours

quaint jasper Dec 20, 2019, 10:10 PM

#

Is there control over the minimum size of pieces ? I've seen a few images like that about the new update but it seems to make rice grain sized unwraps

tepid wagon Dec 20, 2019, 10:34 PM

#

I don't think so. I started new project, selected fbx, pressed ok and autounwrap was first thing it did. I will try finding some options in just a moment.

#

The "rice grain" sized islands in my case are there mostly because my character has tiny hairs on ears made of triangles, it seem to respect the cuts I made (yup I didn't remove seams)

#

Ok, I looked around and I can't see any options or parameters for autounwrap in current version

feral wolf Dec 20, 2019, 11:20 PM

#

i worked on unity for a while now and know quite a few stuff but never touched/made avatar model making or anything with model making

#

it be great if sommeone could help me

@feral wolf What do you need help with ?

#

yeah that meshes going to be way too big as it's using the subsurface modifier to do all the work

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 12:25 AM

#

are then there any better tutorials or any other way to learn how to make things?

glad steeple Dec 21, 2019, 12:29 AM

#

The donut one is great.

#

@silent cove Great model!

silent cove Dec 21, 2019, 12:30 AM

#

😊

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 12:33 AM

#

@glad steeple but that is only for modeling

#

what about the other parts

glad steeple Dec 21, 2019, 12:33 AM

#

what other parts?

#

you mean like uving and texturing?

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 12:33 AM

#

so i only need a model and it works fully?

glad steeple Dec 21, 2019, 12:33 AM

#

Uh

#

📎 unknown.png

#

there are more parts

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 12:34 AM

#

so it also says how i can make it moveable

#

like for example an arm

glad steeple Dec 21, 2019, 12:35 AM

#

No donuts do not have arms; you can learn to model first then learn rigging 😛

#

No need to bite off more than you can chew, no pun intended

azure rain Dec 21, 2019, 12:39 AM

#

yeah you would want to have some idea of how modeling Works before you try drinking

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 12:40 AM

#

so i have to learn all the parts?

glad steeple Dec 21, 2019, 12:40 AM

#

Typically

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 12:40 AM

#

that be 6x4

#

would be 24 parts

#

jeez

glad steeple Dec 21, 2019, 12:41 AM

#

and that doesnt even touch rigging :-P

#

3D art is an advanced specialist skill what can we expect.

#

i wish there was some way to inject knowledge into our brains but we gotta do it the hard way currently, manually.

azure rain Dec 21, 2019, 12:42 AM

#

and honestly in the game industry it's split up to like 5 jobs to make your typical game model

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 12:42 AM

#

wait but only that 1 part is about modeling then why do i have to learn all 24 episodes .-.

glad steeple Dec 21, 2019, 12:42 AM

#

Its not just that 1 part

azure rain Dec 21, 2019, 12:43 AM

#

because it takes 24 parts to make a donut

glad steeple Dec 21, 2019, 12:43 AM

#

Well i mean

#

He complicates it to show the ins and outs of alot of blenders features

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 12:44 AM

#

isnt there a better tutorial with less split episodes and more in the vrchat area

#

?

spiral sigil Dec 21, 2019, 12:44 AM

#

The donut is a great place to start.

azure rain Dec 21, 2019, 12:45 AM

#

that's not going to make a functional difference if it's one long video or 20 smaller videos

glad steeple Dec 21, 2019, 12:46 AM

#

There arent alot of good vrchat tutorials on making characters in blender 2.8, no.

spiral sigil Dec 21, 2019, 12:46 AM

I liked Daniel Kreuter's method but it's in 2.71, which is similar to 2.79 https://youtu.be/F1CTfis1TEg

why does nobody do uptadated tutorials it makes things much easier

spiral sigil Dec 21, 2019, 12:49 AM

#

Because only recently blender released 2.8.

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 12:49 AM

#

man my brain aready starts hurting and i didnt even began

spiral sigil Dec 21, 2019, 12:49 AM

#

It's still new and people are more comfortable working in 2.79

glad steeple Dec 21, 2019, 12:49 AM

#

They refuse to mooooove

#

😠

spiral sigil Dec 21, 2019, 12:49 AM

#

I refuse to move because in 2.82 they changed all the shortcuts again. I'm not moving until they stop changing those.

glad steeple Dec 21, 2019, 12:50 AM

#

Did they?

spiral sigil Dec 21, 2019, 12:51 AM

#

That's what I heard from people who tried it

glad steeple Dec 21, 2019, 12:51 AM

#

Even if that was the case, use the legacy keymap..

#

it changes all the shortcuts back to how they were in 2.7

#

even though the 2.8 shortcuts make waaay more sense and are easier to learn

spiral sigil Dec 21, 2019, 12:53 AM

#

Then I wouldn't be standardized with everyone else, still not a great thing.

glad steeple Dec 21, 2019, 12:53 AM

#

is anyone ever using just standard ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

i think most people who have a brain rebind the stuff they often use

spiral sigil Dec 21, 2019, 12:54 AM

#

I just wish you could have 2.79 and 2.8 at the same time.

glad steeple Dec 21, 2019, 12:54 AM

#

uh you can

#

📎 unknown.png

azure rain Dec 21, 2019, 12:55 AM

#

you just install them different directories

glad steeple Dec 21, 2019, 12:55 AM

#

big is 2.8

spiral sigil Dec 21, 2019, 12:55 AM

#

I tried it, it deleted 2.79 from my system.
Probably cause they were in the same directory

glad steeple Dec 21, 2019, 12:55 AM

#

small is 2.7

#

Search for Blender Portable

#

it keeps everything self contained and seperate

spiral sigil Dec 21, 2019, 1:01 AM

#

Man, my training is in illustration/design, but 3d is so damn easy with blender

#

I would've learned sooner if I knew it was this simple

glad steeple Dec 21, 2019, 1:02 AM

#

same

#

i tried Maya way back when and chalked it down to me not being smart

#

Turns out maya just sucks 🤫

spiral sigil Dec 21, 2019, 1:03 AM

#

Don't regret learning perspective though

#

Hybrid 3d/2d designers are very employable in game/film concepting. Sometimes I wonder if %100 3d will ever become standard

#

Drawing just happens to be really quick so its still used quite a bit in conjunction with 3d greyrenders, but if the day ever comes I might need to switch to being an illustrator again 😛

azure rain Dec 21, 2019, 1:12 AM

#

yeah I doubt we're going to get rid of 2D concept artist anytime soon

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 1:15 AM

#

so question how long does it usualy take for creating a model from scratch

azure rain Dec 21, 2019, 1:16 AM

#

depends on the model and the complexity

#

like it takes much less time to make a flower pot then a fully detailed car

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 1:19 AM

#

i mean an avatar

#

a human

azure rain Dec 21, 2019, 1:20 AM

#

same caveat still apply as there's a big difference between a low poly flat colored person and basically a triple A game character

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 1:20 AM

#

im pretty sure theres an avarage time a humanoid avatar takes

spiral sigil Dec 21, 2019, 1:21 AM

#

At least 100 hours I'd say. Still extremely variable and dependent on a person.
A week straight of work or a month of casual effort.

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 1:22 AM

#

oof

#

well what if you try doing just an arm or arms like youknow robot arms (there was 1 avatar that used that but idk its name

azure rain Dec 21, 2019, 1:22 AM

#

and if you were making a triple A video game character more like a whole season

#

https://www.polygon.com/2015/8/29/9222257/how-much-does-it-cost-to-make-one-game-character

Polygon

How much does it cost to make one game character?

Total studio cost is around $80K, says Portal developer Kim Swift

#

and as far as your robot arm that would also depend on how detailed you want it and how much time is just learning the skills

glad steeple Dec 21, 2019, 1:25 AM

#

just like any kind of art - it all depends how long you want to work on it

#

if your deadline is in 1 hour - its going to take 1 hour 😅

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 1:26 AM

#

so beside modeling

#

the rigging make it all work right like moving at all

#

or am i wrong?

glad steeple Dec 21, 2019, 1:26 AM

#

Rigging/weight painting - yeah.

azure rain Dec 21, 2019, 1:26 AM

#

yep and there's also UV unwrapping so that you can paint a texture on it and the actual texturing itself

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 1:27 AM

#

so of how i understand it rigging is basicly the bones you put in?

glad steeple Dec 21, 2019, 1:27 AM

#

Yep

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 1:27 AM

#

and the more bones the more it can move

glad steeple Dec 21, 2019, 1:27 AM

#

Uhh sure

why does it look like you just smacked the face on it

definitely pretty good as it's definitely recognizable

#

if youre on 2.8 1, 2, 3 switch between them

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 4:35 AM

#

@azure rain im now done with part 6 level 1 at the donut tutorial do you think i need to watch all episodes befor i can start modeling avatars

gleaming tree Dec 21, 2019, 4:36 AM

#

wat app to make the 3d modelling

azure rain Dec 21, 2019, 4:39 AM

#

you're probably going to need a lot more knowledge than just a donut tutorial to make an avatar

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 4:40 AM

#

ooof

#

well do you think i should keep watching

#

or switch to a new tutorial

azure rain Dec 21, 2019, 4:41 AM

#

yes you should keep watching as you need to learn how blender works

#

honestly I probably have your near-term modeling golsby make a hat

#

as you can attach a hat to an avatar without much knowledge about how weight painting works

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 4:43 AM

#

ooof

#

24 episodes

azure rain Dec 21, 2019, 4:44 AM

#

you need to build up your basic knowledge and complete a few models

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 4:44 AM

#

and then about 50 episodes propably about modeling of an avatar

azure rain Dec 21, 2019, 4:44 AM

#

yeah probably considering that's a lot more complicated making an avatar as you have to make a skeleton before it and actually be concerned about how you put the model together so the skeleton works properly

#

and that's before you even get into the stuff required to have the facial animations

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 4:46 AM

#

so what do you recommend me to watch after i done the donut thing

azure rain Dec 21, 2019, 4:47 AM

#

I honestly don't know off the top of my head

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 4:48 AM

#

oof then i never get to start with modeling of an actualy avatar

azure rain Dec 21, 2019, 4:48 AM

#

mostly the reason I don't know off the top of my head as I haven't gotten checking with blender 2.8 tutorials

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 4:49 AM

#

so should i watch after the donut tutorial how to make avatar models or what

#

thats what i mean

azure rain Dec 21, 2019, 4:49 AM

#

and I don't have the answer right at the moment

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 4:49 AM

#

k

#

im taking a break anyway

#

just write wen you got 1

azure rain Dec 21, 2019, 4:51 AM

#

also maybe inquire in the Avatar Channel if there's any tutorial recommendations

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 5:30 AM

#

@azure rain i dont think anyone in the avatars channel has

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 5:49 AM

seems like none rlly knows any good tutorials

#

go follow daniel kreuter's anime character modeling tutorials on youtube

#

throw yourself in the deep end

#

it's for blender 2.7, but it should still be fine as long as you've learned the controls for 2.8

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 6:29 AM

#

well what you mean by controls?

#

like editor mode?

#

@swift heart

swift heart Dec 21, 2019, 6:32 AM

#

like the layout of blender and the keyboard shortcuts

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 6:33 AM

#

well theres actualy png with all the shortcuts

#

does that work?

swift heart Dec 21, 2019, 6:33 AM

#

because it's different between 2.79 and 2.8

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 6:33 AM

#

??

swift heart Dec 21, 2019, 6:33 AM

#

sure, as long as you can figure out what to press to do what you need to

feral wolf Dec 21, 2019, 6:34 AM

#

well good that i watched the donut tutorial

#

bc the guy made a 2.8 shortcut png

with all things on it
