Wheres a good place to upload assets for people to use. I've made a few simple things I'd like to share
thin bison
Sketchfab is pretty good for that
devout scroll
o that too
thin bison
Artstation has a marketplace as well
But if you just want a place to upload things you want to give away for free you could use a cloud storage solution which you can link to
spiral sigil
I mean if I ever got good I'd like to sell things but right now I'm working hard to just absorb as much information I can.
I'd like something where I can link to and say hey friend can you help me with this or hey I made something interesting you can have it
BOOTH looks nice but is very japanese. How much japanese do I need to know to be able to use it lol

Sketchfab prices can be set as free and it allows live preview

Have you tried looking up some tutorials on weight painting?
shell sentinel
On my 3rd model and learned about curves for hair
This is life changing
Thabkfully my pal who's getting the avatar doesn't really care about dynamic bones so I won't have to stick bones in all the hair strands
next fractal
A warning with the curves. They're extremely high poly.
spiral sigil
@shell sentinel did you do a tutorial for the hair
shell sentinel
@next fractal I FIGURED I’m wondering if there’s a way to knock it down
And I did!
hallow bough
Could always dissolve the edge loops you dont need if each hair piece doesnt have defined strands anyway
shell sentinel
Also yeah thankfully this guy only has 20 strands but I saw the 4 hair tufts that a commissioned model I got had and lORD
next fractal
Yeah, you can either retopologise it or manually decimate it, good luck man!
looks good though
shell sentinel
Good to know! Thanks so much
My models are really stylized so I alway try to keep it as low-poly as I can
This dude tho needed
Way too many loop cuts
spiral sigil
Can you post the tutorial pls
hallow bough
Around the joints im assuming xD?
shell sentinel
Yeah it was just this one!
@Mari not -too- many around the joints, mostly where the coattails met the waist
Here ya go! It's just this one
I edited the dhape a ton though to where it was practically a cylinder with tapered ends
hallow bough
Gotcha XD Well you learn everytime luckily!
Hair curves saved my life i didn't know how to make hair with volume before it tbh
shell sentinel
Yeah for real lol its so funny that every new tutorial I find I learn like 10 other unrelated shortcuts that could have saved me HOURS
I went from 3 hours to 10 minutes on the simple base mesh for sculpting tutorial
To make a simple body structure to start from
Rather than me modeling one body part off of a basic shape mesh and deleting/connecting the faces every time to merge them
hallow bough
The time it takes to make stuff improves so much the more you start actively watching 3d modeling videos and making things it feels good XD
shell sentinel
The 3d learning curve is really sharpe I’ve found
spiral sigil
I've found most of the things I'd want to make aren't super complex but I dont have enough program literacy to do it. So I'm constantly looking for better ways to do something

Does anyone have Maya and would be willing to try opening an .FBX and converting it to .OBJ for me? I am trying to open it in Blender but it's just not budging, and throwing out errors. (It's an .FBX of a ceiling light).
onyx crane
Nah, it's not that -- "Version 6100 unsupported! Must be 7100 or later." have tried opening in both new blender and old blender

Question: I have a glove on the right hand of my model. I copied, mirrored, and moved it over to the left hand. However, it still moves with the right hand. I've clicked everything and done about an hour of youtubing and can't figure out how to fix. Can anyone help?
quaint jasper
that's called weight paint
pulsar cobalt
I already tried subtracting and repainting
quaint jasper
probably done incorrectly then, you can select all vertices affected by specific vertex groups, try to find which groups affect the wrong hand

[Optiloops](https://github.com/vilemduha/optiloops)
TAGS: tagFree, tagOptimization
Allows you to quickly delete edge loops that don't contribute much to the shape's curvature. This is the proper fast way to optimize mesh, instead of the dreadful decimate```Mostly for @shell sentinel Looking for a way to trim the hair curves
That cat/devil guy is really doing for me by the way
shell sentinel
Omg thank you ! He's Spring-heeled jack :V
Also i ended up using a "decimate" modifier that worked!
And then joined everything
Here's how to turened out! Ignore the junky automatic weights lol
Hes gonna have a ton shader on so the head ans hair will essentially blend in
onyx juniper
I gathered from the picture that this guy is supposed to have hair over one eye, or where he's supposed to have another eye, like Jessica Rabbit
shell sentinel
YEAH lol pretty much, it doesn't technically cover the area on the model but he's gonna be in shilouettw so
Also im losing my mind in trying to wright paint the hair to the head and one. Single. Strand
Does not work
vivid crater
you werent gonna have bones for the hair anyway right?

OH its hooked to the neck
Yeah but I had to merge the hair onto the body
If you do that after weighting it, it turns off all your weights

Sign Langue Teaching world (in progress)
9564 tris as of right now
Divided into different meshed for each pillar, walls, floor and ceiling for a baked occlusion map ect.
quaint jasper
Planning on Quest compatible ?
spiral sigil
It will be Quest compatible. The render view will always be below 10.000 tris
quaint jasper
That's great !
spiral sigil
I don't know about the texture maps though. Should each be 2K?
I only use texture maps for the globe and pillars
Example the globe
Will it run smooth with high resolution texture maps?
quaint jasper
2K isn't considered high resolution, but i'd suggest trying 1K to see if the difference is that big
in terms of visual quality
spiral sigil
Thanks. I'll bump it down to 1K if quest users are lagging.
quaint jasper
Very unlikely though
spiral sigil
It is the first time I am making a map for VrChat, so I put all effort into making it as optimized as possible.
quaint jasper
You have some leeway though, no need to take down everything to make it run on an N64 😄
spiral sigil
In some cases there are about 40 players if not more (in the lesson)
So I have no idea how this map will work in practice.
Semi big lesson
And ALLL those avatars will just burn up any computer
quaint jasper
Quest by itself can't handle that many people, hardly half
Regardless of avatars, 20 people will already suffer from microphone stutter
spiral sigil
Oh, it is sign. Nobody speak, lol
quaint jasper
Of course, but some sign users may try to use speech in some cases like I've seen MrDummy before, it makes it even more difficult
That's why the Hub has such a low limit of users per instance
Performance can and should be great in an optimized world, but players bring in voice, IK and their avatars
So it all adds up very quickly if the avatars are bad
A single awful quest avatar could be worse than your world many times over
spiral sigil
Would there even be a solution to optimize an almost MMO like world for quest users?
quaint jasper
Agressive optimization
Lots of culling, lots of baking, lots of atlasing, low res, barely any audio, etc
spiral sigil
quaint jasper
Your world should be absolutely fine
I'd suggest maybe merging the pillars though, lowering drawcalls as they probably cannot be batched easily
And won'tt get culled anyway
At least not occlusion culled
spiral sigil
That is interesting. Maybe I should divide them into four sections? I wanted to have pillars behind the player not take up performance.
quaint jasper
Ultimately it's alright, there's a few good ways to do it, it's such a low number of drawcalls that it's not really a giant issue
I'm off for now, but feel free to ping me with any question and I'll do my best to answer them tomorrow
spiral sigil
Thanks for everything. Will do 🙂

Is it better to model a tail (Cat,wolf etc) In a natural position or straight/horizontal for rigging and such? I don't have experience working with animal tails XD

I would guess it's easier to make a straight tail

Yeah, they usually leave it straight out when weighting because that's easier

Where is the origin point of the circle?
the second curve that has the shape of hair
spiral sigil
bruh
the origin
I set the origin to object and it fixed it
thx
making hair this way seems pretty easy but this seems like a lot faces, etc. Is there a way to bring it down?
Also this doesn't seem like a thing I can uv unwrap and texture?
Is my only choice to assign a material to it and color it that way?
Thru some experimenting I converted the curve to a mesh. To optimize would I just dissolve faces and edges?
gray hornet
You can check in curve settings to lower resolution
but dissolving edges would work I think
also - best UVmap ever xD

had to redo uv's because i forgot mipmaps exist, mood rn
green ember
just turn off mipmapping lol
spiral sigil
wtf is mipmapping
green ember
texture scaling by distance
thin bison
Basically, it's your renderer creating downscaled version of your texture to use at distance
spiral sigil
oooh
thin bison
And turning it off is inadvisable as it leads to very jaggy looking textures at a distance when off
ashen stag
Talking about creating UV maps with mip maps in mind. What is a good practice? I've created UVs that are fine in every aspect except mip mapping.
thin bison
Having a good pixel margin between uv islands, it will help with seams. Also planning, such as having uv islands with similar colours and tones close to each other. Some artists even have certain sections where the background colour will be similar to the uv islands
ashen stag
Yeah warframe does it where instead of blank space or solid color the islands bleed outwards until they hit another island. Was just curious as I had some jarring mip mapping on a simple texture so I just turned it off. Thanks for the advice
thin bison
http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Edge_padding This page shows examples of what's happening without proper padding, it also give general tips on minimum padding distance @ashen stag
ashen stag
Alright thanks a bunch, looking back at the texture that I was having an issue with it makes a lot of sense that mip mapping would struggle with it. Do you think it would be best to try to separate the white and black into different islands instead of having it the way I do?
thin bison
I'm guessing that's for one whole piece of a mesh?
ashen stag
Yeah its knee high socks, the UV is the leg as it goes down
The main reason I didnt split it into different islands was because the white and black are not cut on vertex edges
thin bison
Is it the stripes which are causing trouble with the mip maps?
Or the seams on the leg?
ashen stag
I can open unity and send you an image, but the main problem is that the black blurs into the white all across the leg
thin bison
Yeah, show me
ashen stag
thin bison
ooof, what's the original texture size?
thin bison
You might be better off without mip mapping then, is it a texture atlas for multiple parts of the model?
ashen stag
Yeah the entire model is atlased into 1 texture
However, the legs are the only issue with mip mapping
thin bison
Yeah, you might be able to fix some of it by redoing the uv map for the legs, giving the stripes more breathing room and softening the transition between black and white
As the biggest issue seems to occur in areas were the stripes are really close on the texture
You could also do the arc system method as you seem to just use solid colours with gradients and create a white and black block and placing faces in them
ashen stag
Alright well thats a couple things to try when I head back to this model at some point. Just wanted to chime in since its a problem that I found quite a while ago. Thanks a ton for the advice though
thin bison
Always happy to help
green ember
i was hoping to have it be all shiny and cool ingame but there goes that because unity is shit

that's standard shader ?

rero standard with custom reflection fallback
i guess its not that bad as long as it never uses the normal reflection probe
spiral sigil
don't know much about rero's shader
but for a very shiny metallic look with standard
green ember
it's basically standard but with extra stuff

i know. just that unity doesnt have very good metallic roughness

not sure if anyone have interest but - Retopoflow is free (V2.03) for blender 2.79 - some ppl have working with 2.8 / i can not get it working for that version - hers the git for DL
spiral sigil
How is this free?
you download it from their repo
for free
Just downloading the repo doesn't mean it'll be setup to work in blender though
spiral sigil
Just downloading a clone of the repo works?
waxen pewter
this is the free release for blender users
spiral sigil
Where do you get it though.
The releases page only has a 3.0 beta.
waxen pewter
thats the paid version
spiral sigil
Then where do you download it because the only other download I see is cloning/downloading the entire repo
waxen pewter
it's 4mb / python code for blender / i dont see your argument here
spiral sigil
I don't see where I'm supposed to look to download it is the problem.
waxen pewter
just clone and download the 4mb file - install the zip as an add-on - thats it
@green ember is that for 2.8x - not 2.79
green ember
id assume theres a version for 2.79
spiral sigil
What file specifically.
I tried to clone the whole repo and install it and it didn't work.

I was just posting this for the unwrap approach

@spiral sigil i managed to just select the .zip file "cloned DL" in the add on section of 2.79 - set it active with checkbox and then save prefs - nothing different from any other plugin rly
then it's here -

nice model - substance painter eh?
swift dock
ok so, I have a unity package that contains a model and what not fully set up and ready to go, uploading works fine and all.
However lets say I edit the .fbx file in blender, and just delete a piece of the clothing. Once I load back into unity to see how the model was updated there, it's entirely messed up (almost looks like a very thin stick figure). There any way to get around this? Or am I going to have to just not use that custom scene and have to re-do all the animations/dynamic bone colliders/etc?
open scarab
Wouldnt recommend you save over a fbx in unity when its set up, usually mess stuff up, create a new one instead
spiral sigil
I usually version control my fbx then let unity reload it so I don't have to redo all my bones and what ever
sounds like you did something wrong in blender like accidently edit outside of the basis shape key which happens to me a lot
devout scroll
If you change the number of bones it will likely break
old robin
someone dm me if they can make me an avatar bacause i dont know hoe
spiral sigil
Can I get some guidance / critique on how I unwrapped this nanachi. I'm still fairly new and have a lot of anxiety with uv unwrapping for some reason so I'd appreciate any comments.
quaint jasper
You should have maybe have seems to cut the legs in their own parts
The fingers have seams ? And what are those very tiny islands ?
balmy oriole
yeah i feel like i would separate the legs and the fingers into separate pieces
desert crown
separate all materials via cats plugin and then you can fix uv's separately on each of them
young vault
🤔
spiral sigil
I want to do it without cats.
The fingers seem to be their own mesh and account for the bigger circle islands
The really small islands are nails and paw pads
I'm going to propperly seam the fingers and legs then
inside the arm-- the fingers are basically cylinders jammed into the arm and I guess get unwrapped separately. I can't imagine making them a different color from the rest of the fur so I guess I'll keep them as is in terms of wrapping
quaint jasper
Any reason you're making seams for all the tiny parts on the hand then ? i can't imagine you wouldn't be able to paint them as whole
spiral sigil
I'm incredibly dumb and think the only way I'd be able to find, and paint them correctly is if they are their own island
balmy oriole
honestly i feel like it would be easier for me to just take the model file and do it myself than it would be to explain
just pretend you're making a stuffed animal and split the seams like that
like the way you've done the fingers instead of separating the pawpads it would be better to split each finger in half (one for inside, one for outside) and then paint the pawpads on the correct side
spiral sigil
i feel like it would be easier for me to just take the model file and do it myself than it would be to explain
Then I wouldn't learn anything
balmy oriole
the way you're doing it now is fine for really tiny texture maps (like if you're just doing solid colors)
spiral sigil
I was planning on doing mostly solid colors. I debated doing it how you mentioned for each finger, but I'm very inexperience with retexturing
balmy oriole
ah i see. of course it's best if you do it how you feel comfortable
spiral sigil
Thanks I'll re do some of it and come back later
balmy oriole
i probably tend to over-mark seams anyway, if i'm being honest
spiral sigil
it's best if you do it how you feel comfortable
I mostly want to step out of my comfort zone and get better
quaint jasper
If you're doing solid colors then those can overlap, no need to take space for nothing
also your arms aren't fully seamed
spiral sigil
yeah I see that, but kinda unsure where to put them. Can it be arbitrary?
maybe put seams here?
I ended up going with something like this
nvm this looks better
tepid wagon
@spiral sigil Not sure do you use it (it doesn't seem like from your screenshots) but you can enable Streching in UV view options to have easier time deciding does certain parts can be connected or should you separate them https://gyazo.com/f678b3e58f1cd90f797d839da3a42e12. Most likely you going to need seem around each finger (possibly on their sides and not top to bottom). You should also consider removing half of your mesh and using mirror modifier for any parts that will have mirrored texture, that way you can save up a lot of space on the UV as both sides of the mesh will overlap on the texture. You mentioned you gonna have many parts in single color - you can create a small plane for each color you gonna use, name them with different colors you want and unwrap them with every part of your model that will NOT be single colored. Single colored parts can then be sorted according to what color you want them in, scale them down to a single pixel on the UV and place them where your little planes are on the UV so they take least amount of space (you can use different shapes like triangle or hexagon to have easier time in finding them on the UV)
spiral sigil
@tepid wagon I can't seem to find the place in your screenshot to enable it
I found it
I thought blue was good?
quaint jasper
Do you have giant UV padding values ?
tepid wagon
Yes, none of the islands seem streched to much
spiral sigil
I turned the padding down a little
tepid wagon
Top to bottom is how I described cuts you just made, I thought cuts will be less visible if they are on the sides of fingers @spiral sigil
quaint jasper
If these pieces are symmetrical then you should cut them in half and overlap all UVs islands
The more space you have for the things that matter, the better it'll look
glad steeple
avoid all the empty space too, your materials can make the most of the texture res if they take up more room!
tepid wagon
I cut my avatars fingers only on one side so if I had my hands in natural position seams would be visible only behind me but I compromised on streching which is pretty high in this case https://gyazo.com/79ef5de403be420256b40638f71d78e5. At the end it didn't even matter cos I decided to use single color for the fingers. Try switching from Streching to Area in the options and if streching is low and area of faces uniform it should be good enough
spiral sigil
Oh I think I understand now
If these pieces are symmetrical then you should cut them in half and overlap all UVs islands
[6:02 PM]
I have to learn how to do this
I'm not entirely sure how
modest wadi
Im trying to merge the meshes of a model together so I can get it to just two, but it messes up the textures. Any way I can get around that or remap the textures?
spiral sigil
when im in obj mode and click on armature and want to go to pose mode, i cant actually click on any of the bones and pose them. anyone know why?
alright one more thing before I loose my mind. How would I unwrap something like this. I've tried a few things but the uv keeps coming out weird
spiral sigil
not sure where to put the seams on this one
spiral sigil
i tried straight down mix results
spiral sigil
NO DICE
quaint jasper
enable correct aspect
spiral sigil
I don't see that in the UI and google isn't helping
spiral sigil
😠 crap im dumb
stable edge
dw im worse
spiral sigil
ok so that didnt help
quaint jasper
unless you have an addon to make those UVs, i don't understand how you can get a rectangle as a result
spiral sigil
yeah im perplexed
no addons
at this point im really stuck
made this with curves then converted to mesh
quaint jasper
Did you not merge the vertices at the end ?
spiral sigil
im not sure what you mean so likely not
quaint jasper
Well if it's a curve then it becomes a tube, if it's a tube it makes sense you end up with rectangle UVs
stable edge
Editmode > select all verts > Mesh > clean up > merge by distance if you missed it
spiral sigil
No I see what you're saying it does make sense because it's literally a tube. But is there any way I can maintain some of the shape so I can paint on it later?
and i dont get why i need to do the clean up
quaint jasper
can you send us this piece as its own fbx ?
well that's the whole model
You didn't apply transforms to your model @spiral sigil
quaint jasper
In object mode, select everything and do ctrl + a
It gives you a warning at the bottom of you screen when you tried to uv unwrap
stable edge
o
makes sense that you were trying to unwrap a tube and it was unwrapping that way
because it was still shaped like a tube
quaint jasper
It's also mostly because they didn't have scale applied
devout scroll
Yeah, if you scale stuff in oblect move and your scale isn't uniform you'll have issues with a lot of things not working right. Gotta apply it

what do you do if your model commits mitosis?

anyone here have any tips for modelling and rigging suspenders? should i use bones for the whole thing or just have it move with the chest? i don't want it to clip if possible, but it's going to hand off the body in parts

that's kind of interesting I'd also like to know how that would work

i forget how long it takes me to model things, sheesh...i'm so tired
at least it's uv mapped so i can paint it later
unfinished models always look kinda scary lol

how can this kinda hair be created in blender? this looks somehow generated in some other software like maya or 3ds max....
gaunt aurora
that's a complexe one, make a plane, add an array modifier, add a curve, and then on the plane, add a curve modifier. By doing this, and modifing the curve and the modifier settings, you'll get 1 strand, just repeat it quite a few times. don't worry about the shape of the strands, you should do that through texturing
@hardy lake
hardy lake
Well in this example the coiling isn't done through texture... It's all a mesh
I have experience making straight hair with curves and even have Hair tool addon, but these coiling hair won't stop bothering me
gaunt aurora
if you modify the starting shape, like instead of using a plane like i suggested, you can make it all mesh, but your poly count is probably gonna tripple at best
glad steeple
also "generated in maya or 3ds max" those programs dont have special tools for anything like that, blender/maya/max do it the same
This is how its done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqWYgrXw7Jk
just modify the shape youre using to be a curl
@hardy lake ^
hardy lake
In fact there are tools in maya and 3ds max, they're called xgen and ornatrix... As for blender, i wasn't able to make the profile of the curve perpendicular to its direction, unless i was using a z-up twisting method, but using that messes up the flat part of the curve, which is laying on top of the head
stable edge
Why not just have textured cylinders?
hardy lake
cylinders would make sense if the hair is kinda like an afro (curly from root to tip) but what about hairstyle like this? it starts with very flat hair card and then goes down curling around itself
better resolution so the roots are more visible

https://gyazo.com/ba72714b4e24a1f2482bcc0ffa963a20
isn't stretching just determined by the orientation between the verts that make up a face on the UVmap and not where they are placed on the UVmap (rotation and location)?
does the stretch display not tell everything o.o?
ember prairie
I feel like it might make it easier to do texture work not having it at an angle, but that's not true for all programs

@small valve is it me or your mouth is super small

And not be scared of modeling lips
The workflow for this one was mostly experimental and me learning so i modeled myself into a corner where having no lips was better than any
So its kinda shoite
runic nymph
what i saw shonzo do is make the lips first and then the chin/cheeks, and then connect them together slowly
allows you to defermine the shape of the mouth in advance

What kind of tools would you guys use to edit mouth shape keys? I'm thinking of sculpting, but I'm not sure if there's a better way
spiral sigil
Good rigging, pose mode, pose to shape key as a start, then edit the shape keys with proportional editing to make life easier.
fervent light
pose to shape key as a start, then edit the shape keys with proportional editing to make life easier
Not sure what you mean here. Shape keys are attached to mesh, not the armature, right? And what do you mean by proportional editing?
spiral sigil
devout scroll
Shape keys are all verts yeah
fervent light
Ahhh that makes sense. Also, I edited stuff about the eyes in basis, but the rest of the shape keys seem to deform them. Do I have to go through all of them and blend for shape?
devout scroll
proportional editing is this guy up here
as far as I know shape keys are vertices and the amount they should move and where
so if you edit basis they're still gonna move the same amount
tho if they don't match basis i think they remember their position or something, i'm not sure
you could try to propagate shape key on basis with the eyes selected
that's gonna make the eyes just match basis in all shape keys
spiral sigil
Shape propagate can help you apply a shape/basis to all other shape keys
fervent light
Both tools worked wonders. Blender is literally loaded with shit I will never use 😂
I figured out the major reason why these visemes looked so bad anyways. Ah, Oh, and Ch were toothy. Like Chip Skylark himself made them
onyx juniper
@fervent light Just making sure you know to only make permanent changes in the Basis shape key
fervent light
Yeah, that much I'm aware of. Editing with a selected shape key edits the end position of the shape key
I'm making sure to check them afterward too
wise zealot
I'm really new to making avatars in blender, is there a course/video/videos (preferably free) that anybody would recommend?
green ember
the actual reason why viseme look bad ingame is that two of them are switched out and one never gets used
the devs could actually fix that in an update and take credit for something oculus lipsync devs shouldve done
spiral sigil
wdym?
onyx juniper
What do you mean, "wdym"?
quaint jasper
@green ember Which are switched ?
quaint jasper
That's apparently incorrect:
"the ih viseme is the ee sound like in beam. E (shouldn't be written as EE) is more like get. We should probably link the docs to the viseme standards that Oculus uses. ou most definitely gets used. I usually test my visemes by making both the ou and oh sounds to make sure the blendshapes work.
https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/unity/audio-ovrlipsync-viseme-reference
its easy to get confused because they use the word tip as an example for ih. If you know anything about linguistics, the sound for 'tip' and 'beam' are closer than the sound for 'get' (Oculus uses 'bed' as the example for E). As a French guy you probably realize it, as the French accent turns 'tip' into 'teep' not 'tep'"
@green ember
green ember
so what youre saying is that theyre just switched out on text and people have been misinterpreting them this entire time
that makes more sense than them being switched actually switched out, but still doesnt explain why OU doesnt get used
quaint jasper
it's pretty easy to test
green ember
i just always assumed that e as an EE sound and ih was eh
i tested it with the lipsync demo in unity
fervent light
Yeah that's a valid assumption
onyx juniper
Same here
green ember
thats odd, OU works fine on the viseme demo mesh there but if i put a custom one it doesnt
i dont know man this shit wacky. thanks tho for that i never actually read into it and that explains it
onyx juniper
Maybe OU for some reason is the only one that expects an exact morph name?
runic nymph
the lil diamond is to animate i believe

ooooh, shit, thats right, thats a thing now

yep yep, got it in 83
green ember
I use it when i sculpt so i can have a high poly and low poly with same topology that i can bake normals on
yes
i mean theres quadroflow eitherway for retop that gives you pretty decent topology with the press of a button
but this is cleaner in some ways
They also added another thing that simulates cloth on the entire thing with the ability to mask stuff out.
i'd say it could be used for applying clothes with gravity but since it doesnt have collision ill stick to marvelous design probably

If you don't care about topology then it doesn't matter
potent thunder
He just mumbles in the end and says "as this is bad topology mbmbm" No explanation why.
I have only done Udon stuff, so I don't understand topology (yet?).
quaint jasper
Topology is just edge flow and the information that goes with it. It helps with normals, sharps, and and everything else Substance might use to bake the texture
runic nymph
topology, the way i see it, is only important in places where your model is going to be moving (stuff like joints)
quaint jasper
If the topology is bad, you miss out on correct detailing and you'll have innacurate information to provide other softwares about your mesh
Ngons are poor because it's up to other softwares to decide where to cut it in triangles
And that can create bad normals =innacurate shading
In the case of hard surface, it doesn't really matter as long as it's flat afaik
potent thunder

If you are using current blender there are five sources of edge sharpness: edge doubles, object set to shade sharp, edges marked as sharp, custom normal split data on the object , and auto smoothness enabled on the object. Remove the doubles (via “merge by distance”) and make sure all four of the others are smooth if you want a fully smooth model
