So, just wondering... how would you go about making a characters mouth on a character being made from scratch? The lips to the interior of the mouth. This is my first character Im making from scratch so I kinda hit a wall.

When I create a new mesh and join it to an existing mesh, after I import the fbx to Substance Painter, the original is tiny, while my addition is huge. What's going on?

No, I haven't done anything else to this model but add that collar

why are you asking about weight paint?

elder mirage Sep 16, 2020, 10:27 AM

#

So after making a character model, would the next steps be 'rig, weight paint, uv map, texture, then animate'? Or is a different order the way to go?

quaint jasper Sep 16, 2020, 10:28 AM

#

Correct steps, aside from animate, which you don't need to do

#

Unless you want to, but that's done automatically otherwise if the character is humanoid

elder mirage Sep 16, 2020, 10:30 AM

#

I thought it would only be automatic if you're using stock/default animations or no animations at all cause of fbt.

quaint jasper Sep 16, 2020, 10:30 AM

#

Fbt can still chose to use animations for locomotion

ay, nice clothes Redotix99, how did you make the folds? they look really nice

gaunt abyss Sep 16, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

Alrighty thank you Redotix! I barely have any experience with sculpting so we'll see how this goes. Closest thing I've done so far is add a mouth to a mouthless character and the results were less than ideal. I just made a cut where the mouth would go and put a red inverted sphere with the front cut off for the inside of the mouth and put a bunch of white triangles behind what would be the lips for teeth. The result was this abomination haha

hey y'all quick question
im a blender newbie and I noticed something odd
in object mode my avatar mesh looks like this
it has lots of little gaps and holes thanks to me crushing the polycount
but

📎 ick.png

#

when i go into edit mode i get this gorgeous mesh with everything smoothed and filled

📎 wow.png

#

so my question is: which one makes its way into unity and vrchat?

barren quiver Sep 18, 2020, 12:42 AM

#

@astral ocean Modifiers have a toggle on them that shows whether they display in Edit mode. If you're decimating the mesh using a modifier, then the modifier won't change the mesh in Edit mode until either that is toggled or the modifier's applied. The mesh will only be modified when it's applied, and whether it's applied on Export depends on whether the modifier can be applied automatically. Meshes with shapekeys (i.e. face expressions) won't be able to apply the decimation modifier, so they won't get it.

astral ocean Sep 18, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

hmm, my decimate modifier doesn't have an edit mode toggle, just a realtime and a render toggle

#

for context I have a solidify, planar decimate and a smooth in that order

#

and even if I toggle all the viewport toggles off the edit mode mesh still looks better
thats completely bizzare, wtf

#

hmm figured it out, applying the modifiers made it match the obj mode mesh
edit: jesus getting the p-count down for quest is hard

#

do you have a single UVmap ?

also please check your normals orientation

Can I get some help with something basic? I've altered and added to some clothing that was made for my model, and I'm trying to export it from blender, but it seems to be missing an armature and I'm not sure why that would be.

spiral sigil Sep 22, 2020, 3:07 AM

#

@quaint jasper this looks right to me

#

idk why some of the mesh is that color though

#

do you have a single UVmap ?
[10:25 PM]
yes

quaint jasper Sep 22, 2020, 3:19 AM

#

i'm kinda stumped then

#

@primal prairie did you weight paint it ?

#

@timid stirrup No one will make something for free here

#

@spiral sigil Does baking the other maps results in the same problem ?

spiral sigil Sep 22, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

yes

#

I think

primal prairie Sep 22, 2020, 3:41 AM

#

@quaint jasper No I didn't.

quaint jasper Sep 22, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

then yeah it won't work

primal prairie Sep 22, 2020, 3:46 AM

#

Ah okay then I'll look into wieght painting it.

subtle jackal Sep 22, 2020, 3:52 AM

#

You have one or more faces unwrapped to the entire 0-1 UV space, @spiral sigil there are UV verts in each corner.

#

I'm guessing a lot of them since the UV space is white and wouldn't normally be.

primal prairie Sep 22, 2020, 4:31 AM

#

@quaint jasper I think that it may already be weight painted:

📎 unknown.png

quaint jasper Sep 22, 2020, 4:35 AM

#

in that case you'd need to merge it all together

primal prairie Sep 22, 2020, 4:35 AM

#

You mean the bones or the meshes?

quaint jasper Sep 22, 2020, 4:36 AM

#

the bones

#

eventually the meshes too

primal prairie Sep 22, 2020, 4:36 AM

#

As the bones are already under a single armature.

quaint jasper Sep 22, 2020, 4:36 AM

#

but it needs to be a single armature in the end

spiral sigil Sep 22, 2020, 4:45 AM

#

@subtle jackal explain a little more?

primal prairie Sep 22, 2020, 4:48 AM

#

Yep all the bones are a single armature, and if I export with the selected item I can export the armature, but when I export the fbx and bring it in unity there's no "armature" object under the fbx.

quaint jasper Sep 22, 2020, 4:48 AM

#

can you show your hierarchy before export

#

and export settings

primal prairie Sep 22, 2020, 4:48 AM

#

📎 unknown.png

quaint jasper Sep 22, 2020, 4:49 AM

#

ok so merge your meshes to begin with

subtle jackal Sep 22, 2020, 4:49 AM

#

It means there are singular faces unwrapped over the whole UV space @spiral sigil Make sure the entire model is unwrapped, that all your seams are proper etc.

quaint jasper Sep 22, 2020, 4:49 AM

#

and then parent your mesh to the armature with empty groups

primal prairie Sep 22, 2020, 4:50 AM

#

Okay I'll give it a try!

#

Right all joined.

#

Then do I just need to shift drag the mesh under the armature in the heirachy window?

quaint jasper Sep 22, 2020, 4:52 AM

#

@subtle jackal zoomed out I dont see any

📎 unknown.png

primal prairie Sep 22, 2020, 4:55 AM

#

As the armature is not an object I can parent it under?

subtle jackal Sep 22, 2020, 4:56 AM

#

it's unwrapped over the space where everything else is. Try island select and select where you think there isn't anything in the UV space

primal prairie Sep 22, 2020, 4:56 AM

#

Like so @quaint jasper

it was the stupid square in the middle of the head

with no seams

primal prairie Sep 22, 2020, 5:21 AM

#

Okay now when I export it the armature has hips as the root bone, and it's got the wrong up direction.

#

📎 unknown.png

#

But when I place it in the world it works fine.

#

Until I tried using the clothing combiner tool in unity and then it breaks completely.

quaint jasper Sep 22, 2020, 5:48 AM

#

ctrl + A on everything before export

primal prairie Sep 22, 2020, 5:52 AM

#

Hmm, I gave it a try but the same thing happens. I also has no rig. Do I need to make it generate a humanoid rig?

quaint jasper Sep 22, 2020, 5:52 AM

#

nah something in your export is wrong

primal prairie Sep 22, 2020, 5:53 AM

hi everyone

i trying to make my car more smoother
but i run into some weird issue
like...when i create 4x4 single face it triangulate it
but when i click diagonal edge it doesn't indicate that that edges exist

here is an video to related problem:

anyone knows why it fake triangulate
and how to fix that

please help

median pike Sep 22, 2020, 1:16 PM

#

quadas are made out of tris

#

they are always triangulated technically

#

its the weird ass lighting youre using

#

it looks like you fucked with your blender a lot

#

also what version are you using?

#

you should use 2.8 or 2.9

#

it could be your normals. Turn on face orientation display to see if you have fucked normals

vivid crater Sep 22, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

It looks like the entire theme is just weirdly colored, not the lighting

brave prairie Sep 22, 2020, 2:07 PM

#

It also looks like you have a ton of duplicate verts and edges. When you selected the bottom edge to create a face the left edge highlight looked like it disappeared under a duplicate. Could be wrong since it's hard to see much with that video res and theme 😅

anyone knowhow to turn off colliders for this? the tentacles are supposed to be the legs and drag behind but they are all sorta inside each other.

📎 blender_help.PNG

analog shore Sep 22, 2020, 4:06 PM

#

Wait? @magic elm If you don't want them to go inside each other you need colliders. Without colliders they will intersect. Also the root of all the tentacles are intersected which would cause errors unless you boolean them all together.

magic elm Sep 22, 2020, 4:16 PM

#

@analog shore so the point was that to fit the amount of tentacles i wanted they had to intersect. however, i was told that having them intersect with colliders still there would cause them to not work properly. this is what the top of the tentacles looks like.

📎 blender_help_2.PNG

#

my other issue is the "skeleton" of the model is weird to make, because the only things that are semi-normal on it are the hear and torso. the rest is not proper human.

analog shore Sep 22, 2020, 4:23 PM

#

I dont think I understand what you're saying? @magic elm

#

You don't need to have colliders if you're trying to do dynamic bones.

magic elm Sep 22, 2020, 4:25 PM

#

oh ok

#

Another issue is since there are bones on each individual tentacle it doesnt work when i try to join them all together. When i join the tentacle to the torso, even if the bones for the tentacle are selected, they do not join and then no longer move the tentacle.

#

im sorry if this is hard to understand im very bad at explanations.

analog shore Sep 22, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

Are you trying to parent the bones from the tentacles to the torso?

magic elm Sep 22, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

no im trying to join the tentacles and their bones to the torso using the actual Join function. would the bones work if i parent them to the torso after joining the tentacles to the torso?

analog shore Sep 22, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

You would need to parent them to the armature?

magic elm Sep 22, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

so for some reason only on the tentacles works fine and its the right arm one. i dont know why but when i join those together the bones in there work.

analog shore Sep 22, 2020, 4:46 PM

question

you're gonna hate me

#

but

#

im trying to use a shrinkwrap modifier in blender to put Quagmire onto a toilet

doesnt need to look too good, it's just a shape key

but im not quite sure how to go about it

#

i keep getting something like this:

#

but i want it to fit naturally around the toilet

#

is there a way i can do that?

#

i also have to make him big beforehand with another shape key, which pretty much breaks the entire thing

next aurora Sep 22, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

i just want a simple way of giving one object a shape key that is another object

next aurora Sep 22, 2020, 7:38 PM

i was hoping to have one object morph into the other

#

at that point i'll just have seperate meshes

radiant moon Sep 22, 2020, 7:39 PM

You may end up having to model the shapekey yourself

A dramatic change like that would require a lot of polygons in order to make it not look like shit

All you really have to do is pull the correct channels and know that the "roughness" map is inverted, or just use the roughness version of the unity standard shader

why is that happen and is there a any way to fix it ?

well im still gonna do the solidfy for skirt lol cuz one side is empty

median pike Sep 26, 2020, 12:13 PM

#

turn off backface culling in your shader for them to be double sided

#

thats a very bad way of doing it. Youre more than doubling the polycount for no real reason

devout scroll Sep 26, 2020, 12:19 PM

#

i've literally seen people yell at me for suggesting not to do solidify and instead turning off backface culling

#

can't win either way I guess?

#

though turning off backface culling also doubles the face count

static vapor Sep 26, 2020, 12:20 PM

#

iv turned off backface in the past still makes skirt one sides

median pike Sep 26, 2020, 12:20 PM

#

it doesnt lol

static vapor Sep 26, 2020, 12:20 PM

#

i had to make up for with shader

median pike Sep 26, 2020, 12:21 PM

#

thats literally the job of backface culling. It wont cull the back face if its turned off

static vapor Sep 26, 2020, 12:22 PM

#

iv been told that for the past 2 months now

backface bulling in unity*

static vapor Sep 26, 2020, 12:23 PM

#

exactly

devout scroll Sep 26, 2020, 12:23 PM

#

backface culling in blender doesn't do anything but hide backfaces

#

but exported mesh is the same

static vapor Sep 26, 2020, 12:24 PM

#

i agree with pumkin

#

look as long as u hide the polys

#

it wont effect performance

median pike Sep 26, 2020, 12:25 PM

#

thats not how that works

#

thats not how unity renders at all

#

unity shows the whole mesh if at least a bit of it is in the view

#

what pumkin said is that if you turn off backface culling in blender it wont change anything in unity because those two render independently

#

you have to turn off backface culling in your unity materials

stable edge Sep 26, 2020, 1:20 PM

#

which you shouldnt do, as its less optimal than having those extra faces

#

You're choosing between adding a little bit more data to ram, or adding another drawcell.

#

those who know this better than me can feel free to go off, but from my knowledge:
you're choosing between adding a few more verts and faces to their respective buffers to an already existing mesh with its already existing material,
or
youre telling the computer to render both sides for that material which impacts all other meshes that use that material, meaning you draw everything twice, which is like saying the computer has to double everything itself and then send that off to render instead of just a few things,
or
youre making a new material which means your computer will have to say ok cool lets see what they want from me and lets make a whole new instance of whats needed (instead of using what the other materials use) which takes a chunk and then we render that mesh

#

tl;dr:
making a whole new double sided material for one mesh so you can have it render double sided is suboptimal, making all meshes use the same double sided material is suboptimal, using solidify is recommended unless of course you want a toasty pc and in that case go the material route and freeze some poor low end users computers

#

ah fancy letters that i cannot type

median pike Sep 26, 2020, 1:39 PM

#

I wasnt aware that it renders double the geometry

stable edge Sep 26, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

materials arent the way to go buddy

median pike Sep 26, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

well I cant speak on the skirt issue but I think we can all agree that using solidify to flip normals is very unnecessary

stable edge Sep 26, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

youre basically saying render it twice and also new material soooo 🔥

#

i dont actually know what the issue is with @static vapor lol

#

also @devout scroll because relevant party

#

id say that the person who made the skirt only made one side (the outside part) though which is fine but some people like immersion or something in a virtual game

#

alsooo lets see @tulip condor 2.8: preferences>addons>install. If its for an older version of blender it should warn you but if it doesnt search what youre expecting the addon to be called there and it should show you something

devout scroll Sep 26, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

fair enough

stable edge Sep 26, 2020, 1:47 PM

not that i didnt use it i just like using things that are being actively developed heh

devout scroll Sep 26, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

also if you're installing addons, don't unzip them

stable edge Sep 26, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

^

#

unless its just a py i guess thats fine

devout scroll Sep 26, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

if you got a py file don't you need to manually put it into your addons folder

stable edge Sep 26, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

also,

no
?

devout scroll Sep 26, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

or run it in the text editor if you want to use it once

#

no idea how blender handles it

stable edge Sep 26, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

it depends if they wrote it to actually be an addon or not

#

py / zip blender if you install addon blender will put the files in...

#

C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\BLENDER_VERSION\scripts\addons\

#

so if theyre proper addons youll be fine to just add them

#

you can tell if theyre proper addons if they have bl_info at the start of the script or if theres more than one .py file, usually

#

bl_info = {
    "name": "",
    "description": "",
    "author": "",
    "version": (0, 0, 0),
    "blender": (0, 00, 0),
    "location": "",
    "warning": "",
    "wiki_url": " ",
    "category": "",
}

hopefully thats not too much info to confuse people

ashen forge Sep 26, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

Decided to use this spooky guy for the Crossplatform Spookality thing, left is the PC version and right is the Quest version. The left uses Poiyomi for the outlines and right is just normal scaled outlines, it adds a lot more polygons but to be honest this thing is only 1k polys so another 1k isn't anything.

manual effort will generally look better than a generalized shader

#

Like manually modelled fur vs fur shader

📎 korosh-ghanbarzadeh-ghctp-fur-colored-f11.png

#

less expensive as well 😉

ashen forge Sep 26, 2020, 8:10 PM

I generally just enjoy the fixed sized outlines, which are kind of difficult to replicate in such a manner.

#

My models are typically very high performance too. Majority of which are 1 material and around or under 15k tris. I pride myself on it :')

Is there a way I can stop blender from exporting the fbx in a way that Unity thinks the rig is scaled at (100, 100, 100)?

#

Apply Transformations isn't doing anything at all, and the usual apply-scale trick doesn't really work for armatures

quaint jasper Sep 28, 2020, 12:03 AM

#

experimental apply transforms

uncut flax Sep 28, 2020, 12:06 AM

#

That's what I meant with apply transforms, doesn't work.

#

📎 unknown.png

#

In Unity, I have the model itself and two children; one for the armature root ('rig'), and one for the mesh. Both are scaled x100, and the armatures are also rotated (-90, 0, 0) because reasons

#

Actually nevermind; the mesh itself is now proper, but the rig is still off. The root object for the armature is scaled/rotated

#

I can get it to scale properly if I set it to "FBX All" instead of "All Local", but then the model's origin is in the center

#

which I guess I can fix by hover the entire model in blender but uh.

subtle jackal Sep 28, 2020, 1:39 AM

#

scale to 0.01 and uncheck apply unit.

#

you also have to tell unity not to futz with it as well

#

keep in mind it will break any translation-based animations on your model as well

quaint jasper Sep 28, 2020, 1:40 AM

#

kinda have to apply transforms on all tho

subtle jackal Sep 28, 2020, 1:40 AM

#

well yeah that should be a thing you do regardless

#

prior to export

devout scroll Sep 28, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

i think all you have to do is set the apply scaling to fbx all

#

on export screen

#

origin being in the center could be a unity thing if it's a 0,0,0 in blender

#

are you sure center pivot isn't enabled

uncut flax Sep 28, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

I can't really scale it, as it's the armature/rig that's being scaled/rotated wrongly

#

I mean, I can, but that seems to mess up the model in all kinds of weird ways

#

and yes, I'm sure - because the avatar's stuck in the floor

devout scroll Sep 28, 2020, 2:20 AM

#

right

#

where are your origins then

uncut flax Sep 28, 2020, 2:21 AM

#

The root bone is at the origin in blender

devout scroll Sep 28, 2020, 2:21 AM

#

in blender, for both the Armature and the mesh

uncut flax Sep 28, 2020, 2:21 AM

#

mesh too.

#

I've had tried the FBX All export instead, and manually adjusted the origin, and that seemed to work - but the bounding box for the renderer was all wrong, and I didn't really investigate in what else broke on top of that

you should merge the vertices instead

easy way is to dissolve the edges you created from bridge edge loops

I'll probably use merge in the chest neck verts and creat a 2nd body for hiding poly for clothes

Be aware that merge can totally botch your shapekeys if they aren’t disconnected

static vapor Sep 29, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

Well the face shape keys and body shape keys are separate

#

There's no shape key for body infact I might make the body into shape key as to a alternative

#

I found something better

#

in edit mode remove doubles

#

cuz since the vertices where created whehn meshs were created it created an extra vertices therefore by removing the double vertices it can fix line clipping

Take up sewing. You'll learn that you need more material to stretch around big boogaloos properly.

Which means a more advanced stitch pattern.

if you're not painting straight on it will cause artifacts in places

i don't know of a script like that but you could scale your uvs down a tiny amount

well i just fixed a nightmare scenario somehow.

no idea how it happened, but a shape key i made somehow got negatively applied to every other key. (the right cheek moving up, somehow turned into neutral right cheek with ALL other keys moving the cheek DOWN. applying multiple keys would make it look like i was having a stroke) fortunately i still had a key with the left cheek moved up exactly the oppsite amount on every vertex. so i mirrored it, then blended it into every other key, add box ticked. took a few mins but saved me an insane amount of work x.x

@devout scroll blender does suck for coloring, what should i use?

devout scroll Oct 3, 2020, 7:20 AM

#

You can get a free student license for substance painter

#

(even if you're not a student)

#

You can still use blender but just be careful on how you paint, if you're painting over a bend for example, the brush gets projected in 2D and it causes ugly smears over the edge

#

Blender needs layers and a 3D projected brush like in sculpt mode and it'll be a million times more useable

Hi, I've got a quick question. I'm pretty new to 3D modeling and I was wondering if anyone has advice for modeling faces for avatars? I'm really struggling to figure out how to make the mouth for example.

devout scroll Oct 3, 2020, 8:33 PM

#

usually helps looking at how others do it

#

there's lots of timelapses on youtube

muted bough Oct 3, 2020, 8:35 PM

#

Yeah I've tried looking at tutorials and whatnot but I haven't quite found what I wanted. I'll keep looking though

muted bough Oct 3, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

Alright I swear every video in existence starts with "I expect you've already got the mouth modeled" and I'm losing my sanity

primal narwhal Oct 3, 2020, 9:31 PM

#

Alright so I'm messing around with Substance Painter trying to figure it out, got most of the basics down, however my model keeps getting its world normals baked like this, and the edges around those poly's are showing up in the AO map, the Curvature map, and then the regular Normal map.

I have checked, double checked, and triple checked the edges on the model, and there's no double edges, no edges that are just super close together, no double faces, and no double verticies in these areas.

I've recalculated normals, made sure they're pointing the right direction, I've reset vectors, set them from faces, smoothed them, etc...

There are no seams along these faces, no sharp edges, just plain faces. I am not baking from a high-poly model, I'm using the "Use low poly as high poly" option because I don't have a full high-poly mesh to bake from.

Does anyone have any idea what the problem is? Again, everything in Blender seems to be in order and I can't for the life of me figure out what these are caused by

📎 unknown.png

#

I am also using pretty much the default baking settings. I've only changed the size and antiailiasing, and changing any other options seems to make no difference.

📎 unknown.png

primal narwhal Oct 3, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

I should mention that letting Substance Painter regenerate all the UV data has fixed it but I don't really consider that a solution so much as a convenience

tepid wagon Oct 3, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

Did you try using triangulate modifier on your model before exporting? If I remember correctly what you have may be caused because you have two mirrored halves of your modeled overlapping on the UV map and without triangulating before export they get triangulated randomly by SP @primal narwhal

primal narwhal Oct 3, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

Interesting, no I hadn't tried that. I'll give that a shot and see what I get out of it

tepid wagon Oct 3, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

You don't need to apply it btw. That way you can still have nice quad mesh to modify if you want but exported model will be triangulated

primal narwhal Oct 3, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

Neat

tepid wagon Oct 3, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

Make sure the modifier is after mirror modifier

primal narwhal Oct 3, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

Hm, no that didn't seem to make much of a difference. I'm also not using any modifiers other than the armature and now triangulation one. The mesh is symmetrized, but manually not through modifiers.

#

well, "manually" being through the mesh options

tepid wagon Oct 3, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

I see. How is the model unwrapped? Does it have two halves separate or are they overlapping?

primal narwhal Oct 3, 2020, 10:31 PM

#

When you mentioned they overlapped it reminded me that I do have the skull's UV's overlapped so that I could have them take up more space on the texture instead of two smaller yet identical halves. So I can imagine that's the problem then

tepid wagon Oct 3, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

Maybe try deleting half of your model and mirroring it again with the modifier?

#

Although since you didn't use mirror mod before I am not sure whether you rigged and weight paint it differently as well and don't know whether that might brake something else so make sure you save before doing it if you decide to test it @primal narwhal

primal narwhal Oct 3, 2020, 10:37 PM

#

No I'm pretty sure that I could do that and it would work I'll just have to test and find out later. Thank you for your help, very insightful

How would you fix visememes

#

Do I need to delete some bones?

tepid wagon Oct 3, 2020, 11:03 PM

#

You saw what Ruuubick told you before. Usually you would use shape propagate for the parts that don't have visemes but since the face is busted too you need to redo them. I don't think bones have anything to do with issue you have so don't delete any bones

twin flare Oct 3, 2020, 11:04 PM

#

dang, it was a different model to

quaint jasper Oct 4, 2020, 5:00 AM

#

@tepid wagon If the face is also broken then they fucked up too badly and then they need to do what Justin suggested

devout scroll Oct 4, 2020, 7:20 AM

#

@tepid wagon worth noting that if you mirror and want to export to substance, you should move the mirrored uvs out of your main uv space, you can do that by going to data and sliding U or V to 1 in the mirror modifier

devout scroll Oct 4, 2020, 8:26 AM

#

that should get rid of the ugly seam down the middle and the overlapping uvs

#

I'm not 100% sure if substance had an issue with the seam down the middle or blender baking did, but it should prevent that anyway

on the newer versions it prompts you that you didnt save the texture if you try to close it

just downloaded it today, so it's most likely a newer version

I've clicked the Save Texture button and saved the project as a whole, but the textures keep on disappearing for me

#

it's pretty frustrating

latent charm Oct 5, 2020, 2:31 AM

#

To make things easier on yourself, don't use blender 2.9 yet since it's more of a public dev build and potentially has unknown (as of yet) bugs.

As for the textures, saving the images to disk then saving the blend file should be enough.

#

In the image editor there is a save all images menu item which may also be of some use

hi there

is there a way to make (blenders 2.79 and up) sidebar properties tabs to be horizontal instead vertical

because it's wary difficult for me to read vertical tabs name from bottom an up
plus i got to many tabs because i install many other addons
so tabs name becomes more dense and its really really hard to know what is what

i mean who in the world make this nonsense anyway
it's horrible i tell ya

@devout scroll
wow so far so good
i like the old to new transition
plus it's little more comfort and it has pc-windows hotkey manipulations
it's much more compact that i expected
in wary near future i will delete the old one for sure

thanks

@devout scroll
one problem still exist for me
which is addon transfer

is that location is for blender addons?
if yes then can i transfer some old addons to new blender version
that i show in this video
because some addons is possible to work from old to new and vise versa

You probably want to just reinstall them through the addons thing

Dm if you want a vrchat meme

tulip condor Oct 5, 2020, 12:01 PM

#

yes i do have some .zip and .py backup for my addons
but some addons are only packed in folder because they are old
and i by mistake delete their .zip or .py backups

devout scroll Oct 5, 2020, 12:02 PM

#

you can still install them through the install button

#

you can zip them back up i guess or if it's one file just click on the file

tulip condor Oct 5, 2020, 12:03 PM

#

hum never thought about that is possible
i will try that
thanks 👍

@tulip condor why do you need so many addons? I only have one.
I am just curious what do you use them for? Because I mean, blender can do most things you need to make models already

tulip condor Oct 5, 2020, 12:37 PM

#

@median pike
yes that's correct

but i install some of those because
it more simplifies and speed up the modeling process
but for the rest integrated addons i will plan to hide them
so in the near future i will migrate to newest version
and do what i mention before

median pike Oct 5, 2020, 12:46 PM

#

yeah I just recommend going to newest version and use the least amount of addons needed

@median pike You can do simple A->B pistons with constraints but anything past that is legit IK so you need FinalIK

median pike Oct 5, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

is final IK intuitive? I only ever used it with a spider character and it was horrible to work with

ashen stag Oct 5, 2020, 2:33 PM

#

The spiders are a mess of workarounds and abusing mechanics, for a piston you would just need CCDIK/FABRIK

#

Keep in mind due to NetIK you would have to have the piston's bones constrained to your main armature instead of being children

solar fossil Oct 5, 2020, 2:35 PM

#

final ik is pretty easy to start with, but the difficulty increases for very complex stuff because you are not really using it for what it is intended for anymore, so workarounds are required

median pike Oct 5, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

@ashen stag why is that necessary, thats stupid. I avoid doing stuff like that because I have done similar with rigid bodies and fixed joints, which offset over time in game

ashen stag Oct 5, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

It's necessary because it was broken when Netik released and since barely anyone uses Final IK for their avatars the devs wont fix it

median pike Oct 5, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

so its a vrchat specific issue?

ashen stag Oct 5, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

Oh yeah

median pike Oct 5, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

whats the behavior if you children it?

ashen stag Oct 5, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

Its the same thing where you need to constrain world particles

#

If you have it as a child, it will work for you, but be displaced for everyone else

median pike Oct 5, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

great

ashen stag Oct 5, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

since you are not telling other people where those bones are specifically since you are only sending the tracking points, not the bones in between

median pike Oct 5, 2020, 3:31 PM

#

well I guess I will giving up on that than.

ashen stag Oct 5, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

Another complicated way to do it is have everything be a child of the armature, duplicate the bones of your piston so its outside, do the final IK on the duplicate, then rotation constrain the original to it

hey can someone help me with dynamic bones? i bought an avatar from booth last night, and it got prerigged with most dynamic bones. except when my avatar crouches, the legs go straight through the skirt

#

#

i already tried some stuff with adding dynamic bones to the legs but i am a bit lost tbh

#

(if this is the right channel idk there are so many related to models)

median pike Oct 5, 2020, 3:35 PM

#

is the skirt rigged?

vestal glacier Oct 5, 2020, 3:36 PM

#

think so yeah

median pike Oct 5, 2020, 3:38 PM

#

I mean

#

you have colliders on your legs

#

are they selected the the skirts dynamic bone script

#

?

#

if yes than you will just have to set up some constraints

vestal glacier Oct 5, 2020, 3:45 PM

#

i added those leg colliders myself. dynamic bone collider, but they dont work.

#

if yes than you will just have to set up some constraints
how do i do that?
this is my first time with dynamic bones, thought it would be easier then it turns out to be
