Can someone tell me why unity butchers my model this bad? I’m using Mochi’s Uber shader but compared to blender it looks really weird
quaint bronze
What does the wireframe look like for that mesh? You may have a ton of ngons and unity is triangulating them automatically.

are your normals set to import or calculate ?

Can someone tell me why unity butchers my model this bad? I’m using Mochi’s Uber...
I've tried replicating your issue here and while not as bad, do seem to be encountering shading problems, even with unity standard shader. Maybe with the right normal map these problems could be smoothed out. 🤔

maybe triangulate when export
glad steeple
custom normals would likely solve
latent charm
maybe triangulate when export
If you're baking normals you must work with triangulated meshes because any unpredictable quad→tri will cause shading errors.
ripe yacht
Idk if it would help but did you try poiyomis shaders? Got a lot of settings to play around with rendering aswell @spiral sigil
spiral sigil
I’ll get triangulating the mesh tomorrow and see if that does anything. Thanks for the help and advice guys!

If it were up to me, I would try retopologizing it to make all the quads go in one direction rather than letting them circulate around the holes. I would make it look like a grid.
glad steeple
I dont think that would solve it
Either way its going to triangulate and act weird around the hole

FYI triangulating before or after export does nothing, in fact apart from the normal map issue it should look identical to blender
it's all triangles anyway :V
thin bison
While you are correct that it'll be all triangles either way you should still triangulate as a part of export. If you import a quad mesh into unity the edges can be flipped causing shading issues
narrow forum
ah yeah, im just optimistic that unity should be able to handle itself :V
thin bison
Trust me, unity can be real stupid at times 
narrow forum
i can believe that, i've only been using it again recently for vrchat
white moth
Oh unquestionably triangulate in blender before putting it in unity. Unity doesn’t do any sort of logic at all. It just splits up quads based on which vertex ID was listed first in the file. No angle calculation or anything
Even when it’s very obvious which way a quad should split unity’s just 50/50

Probably just a niche that you don't need at the moment. Doesn't mean they are useless.
clear geyser
Use it on a high poly mesh and you'll see they aren't useless
devout scroll
too high poly to use ingame. subdivide it a few times and you can sculpt
opal night
@devout scroll can you please save me from the fucking absolute nightmare that is trying to get bones assigned to objects? I've watched 5 tutorials and every single one has failed
i've assigned weight to my objects
made their names the same as the bones
i've tried giving child/parent assignments to my bones and corresponding models
best i can do is get child bones to follow parent bones
that's it. nothing connects to the model
devout scroll
Your mesh also needs to have a modifier called armature, with the armature assigned in it
stuff doesn't just magically move when it's weighted
armature modifier tells the mesh to use it's weights to move with the bones
opal night
"called" armature as in, called that in general or called "armature" in blender?
and how do i activate the armature modifier, and which objects do i assign it to?
devout scroll
it gets automatically added when you parent your mesh to your armature and select armature deform when asked how to parent
but if you don't have one you have to added it yourself
you go to the modifiers tab with your mesh selected and add "Armature"
Then inside it you have a box where you select which armature (also sometimes called skeleton) to use
But since you likely only have one skeleton you can only select that
opal night
should i select my whole mesh? or only groups at a time?
devout scroll
your mesh should all be one object
opal night
i thought it was better to keep it grouped for more freedom of movement?
devout scroll
if it's not you can either join it or if you want to keep it separate you can just add the modifier to each
opal night
ah
devout scroll
all it does is tells bones to use weights on your mesh
opal night
so do i select ONLY the mesh when doing this? or can i/do i select the bones as well?
devout scroll
only mesh
opal night
can't show the whole thing but where do i go from here?
is the eyedropper the thing i use to choose the skeleton?
and, speaking of which, my bones are in two different skeletons, and yet doing the join function didn't bring them together

don't be afraid to look up tutorials (on sculpting or box modeling, whatever method you choose). i also find looking up how other people set up their topology very useful as well, especially when you start doing detailed faces
if you're specifically modeling for vrchat, try to keep the triangle count low to begin with as it will make your life so much easier later. also keep in mind that not every piece of the body has to be needlessly detailed, like the arms, legs, and feet as most people will be looking at the face, chest, and hands most of the time

booleans work but they cause more issues than they're worth if you don't know what you're doing as they create pretty ugly cuts sometimes
if you just want a door you can use the knife tool with K
then you can lock it to 45 degree angles with C
cut out the door outline then delete the face in the center

Dynamic bone? If so that’s an external script. You can edit the script to make some solid spheres if you want, but it’s all code
Someone else made it, not unity, so no options for it
They decided wireframe spheres were most useful 👀
barren sage
nah just like, the regular box colliders. getting something to line up with the floor and such. like for this image its hard for me to tell the height of the collider compared to the floor. i can use ortho view for this one because its on the outer edge of the map but its gonna get kinda complicated for the inner bits

Can you enable Mesh Renderer component in the Inspector @barren sage ?

When I was placing colliders in my world I enabled mesh renderers for them to see them and I mean on colliders themselves and not "map's mesh" like terrain or walls, not sure if its still possible. If they don't have mesh renderer you should be able to add it @barren sage

is anyone able to help me add bones to a cape to make them dynamic bones

You pretty much just need to add a bone to the armature
so select it, go into edit mode

I dont think it has armature
deep dirge
oh?
coarse light
Its just a cape mesh
deep dirge
You have the entire avatar right?
coarse light
Yeah
deep dirge
use that armature
deep dirge
Youll neeed to parent the cape to the armature
coarse light
For some reason its parented to the hips
deep dirge
then its already part of the armature
but weighted somewhere on the mesh
select the armature, then the cape and go into weight paint mode
deep dirge
May I saee a picture?
deep dirge
can you show the armature in blender
I also dont think the root bone is important to anything
coarse light
of the cape?

well first id try to add a dynamic bone component
and then see if there are are bones for a cape in the armature, unless you already did so and thats why you are here

Getting some behaviour with Blender that is confusing me. I'm working on joining some meshes, and I need to rename the UV Maps to be consistent with each other so the join doesn't break one of them.
The issue is that everytime I rename a UV Map the mesh becomes completely black like the UV mapping was lost or something. I checked in the UV editor and it does seem like the UV's are still there, but the mesh is just black.
I swear I was able to rename UV Maps earlier today with no issue and join meshes with them.

reload the textures that go black maybe?

coarse light
its so strange
narrow forum
that’s the cached prefab that vrchat generates
coarse light
so where do i find the fbx?
i cant find it anywhere
i checked every single folder too
narrow forum
do you still have the prefab in the scene?
if you do, then if you double click one of the meshes, or materials or any other asset you should be able to find it
or there might even be an option to trace back the prefab to the fbx file too, but I don’t have unity in front of me to check
narrow forum
That’s really strange hm
Maybe it just doesn’t exist anymore?
It looks like it’s looking inside of the vrchat archive or smth, I’ve never seen that before
coarse light
so odd
i need to find it within the prefab somehow
does anyone know how to get an fbx from a prefab

You should probably combine all the meshes into a single file anyways
coarse light
The textures are separated tho
deep dirge
easy fix though
coarse light
But what if u need different shaders on different parts of the body
deep dirge
Different materials assigned to specific tris on the mesh I believe
coarse light
That sounds difficult
deep dirge
not really
coarse light
I have no clue how to do it
deep dirge
Im guessing that it works like this, havent actually tried it in unity, but I did accidentally use two materials on a model once and in unity the avatar had two sepereate material slots
This is all to just make the avatar run better
coarse light
I think then its actually separated meshes tho
deep dirge
well, do you have the armature of the avatar in blender?
deep dirge
Pretty sure you need it to create bones for the avatars armature to act as bones for the cape...
coarse light
I mean items can have bones
And u can attach them by throwing them into ur hierarchy
deep dirge
Can they?
hm
well
if you can do that, create an armature in blender
shift a
youll have a bone, press tab on it to go into edit mode, and grab the thick end of it and drag it to the top of the cape, and the thin to the bottom
then you can subdivide it as many times as you want for dynamic bones
coarse light
How many times should i subdivide
deep dirge
the message is still there? is it not
coarse light
Nope
deep dirge
coarse light
Oh lmao
deep dirge
just depends
deep dirge
ok
do that and exit edit mode and enter object mode, then shift right click the bones, enter weight paint mode
oh also make sure you have enough tris to bend at the bone joints
you want the left
coarse light
How do i tell
deep dirge
go into edit mode on the cape to see the wirefram or turn on the overlay
deep dirge
yes
coarse light
it doesnt let me move the bone in edit mode tho
deep dirge
click a tip and press g
after you press g, press z to lock it to the z axis (up and down)
or press 3 on the numpad to enter orthographic side view
also the cape look high enough poly to not really worry about the joints thing I said

then see how the bones bend by selecting one and pressing r
if they look terrible, do it manually
coarse light

coarse light
deep dirge

well, youll have to do it manually unless you want to find a fix online, probably is one
coarse light
how do i manually do it

where is that
deep dirge
coarse light
coarse light
deep dirge
then exit pose mode, select the armature, then mesh in order, enter weight paint mode

exit by hitting tab?
deep dirge
that goes into edit mode
deep dirge
you have left click select dont you
coarse light
i believe so
deep dirge
I do right click because I got used to it in 2.7... use the left click if thats what selects things
coarse light
so was i supposed to shift left click the mesh
deep dirge
dont think it makes a difference to click with the opposite side
coarse light
okay so what mode do i go into
deep dirge
select the armature, then mesh in order, then weight paint mode
then you need to change 2 settings
advanced tab, turn off front faces only,
coarse light
wheres the advanced tab located?
coarse light
deep dirge
yeah
coarse light
coarse light
noice
deep dirge
something that was literally a single fucking click in 2.7 without stupid names like that
coarse light
soooo
deep dirge
and for the top bone, dont paint anything above the hilt
coarse light
how should i paint it
deep dirge
weight 1 strength 1
radius depends
also every time you change a setting, press tab twice, it saves it so when you undo it doesnt undo the settings you changed
also save the blender file
I dont trust undoing in 2.8
coarse light
done
deep dirge
you could also watch a normal blender weight paint tutorial
those might be better than me
also turn on wireframe in overlay, it helps
set it to 1 too
you want to weight paint only from top to end of each bone
afterwards you can blur the weights
deep dirge
yes
coarse light
how do u select the bone
deep dirge
exit weight paint mode
shift select the armature first, then the mesh, and enter weight paint
another thing that wasnt like this in 2.7 yet was changed for absolutely no reason
coarse light
how do i select the specific bone
deep dirge
can you still not select individual bones?
coarse light
yeah i cant

does anyone know how if i can turn a 3d builder model in to a model on unity??
winter plinth
what? @rigid garden
rigid garden
on windows there is an app called 3d builder and i was wondering if i could turn a model from it into a model for unity
winter plinth
most likely, if you can export as a obj, fbx, or dae from it, itll work fr unity
winter plinth
check its file name
winter plinth
try opening them up in the windows 3d viewer and export them accordingly
winter plinth
as obj, fbx, or other file
rigid garden
there is only png, jpeg, bitmap, and tiff
winter plinth
hmm, maybe you cant, i suggest model in non windows programs
rigid garden
blender??
winter plinth
yes
winter plinth
never heard of that file
winter plinth
still no idea
young vault
It's a file for 3d printing.
https://github.com/Ghostkeeper/Blender3mfFormat this addon allows blender to import them to then export them as FBX, or other formats. You'll have to rig it to work in VRC though. And you can export as OBJ in windows 3d builder.

onyx mason
Did you try fiddling with these two options? try removing the alpha itself.
That or your normals might have been flipped or something, not sure but that's all that comes to mind.
Sometimes the materials might glitch out too, so if it's only 1 material on your avatar try removing the material and putting a new one in its place (using the same texture of course)
Also UV map names for the meshes may not match, this might not be the problem here but just in case

Quick Blender question
If you have a shape key that's already combined between two sides, say Wink, which is the combination of WinkL and WinkR. But we don't have a WinkL and WinkR anymore.
Is there a way to easily generate those symmetrical type shape keys based off of the shape key that contains both of them?
I've poked around and it seems that there isn't much information out there for this specific case, since most people just make one side shape keys, then duplicate the shape key and mirror it for most of their shapes. And then create a mix from the two to make the combined one.
This case I kinda want to go backwards from it.
quaint jasper
You can a copy of it, then select half of the face, blend from shape > Basis
same for the other side
spiral sigil
AH, that's what I was missing. I had to uncheck "Add"
Alright, thank you! This is perfect
While I'm here, is there a bit of an easier way to reorganize shape keys instead of just clicking them up and down one step at a time?
quaint jasper
you can click on the button below and "move to top"
but afaik there isn't an option to click and drag
that would be too convenient
and blender doesn't do convenience

I want a meme of Randy from South Park saying "I'm sorry, I thought this was America," but instead of "America," it's "VRChat," and instead of him being arrested, it's 100,000 polygons and 40 fps
I have a noob question
Is it common practice at all for VRChat builders/modelers to use some VR-based 3D modeling app? Like, not Blender?
I know at least one exists, I forget what it's called. But you can so a somewhat rough job of sketching out a 3D model, and then you can export it and do whatever you need
hmm, seems like professional software
I don't know how to model 😛 what I'm asking about is modeling using six-degree-of-freedom controllers, in VR
The flow I'm considering is
- sketch something in such an app
- export it
- import into Blender and work with it some more
- export and import into Unity for use in VRC worlds
Is that something people do? Is it not really feasible, and if so, why?

If you honestly think this you need to have a much harder look at how game engines and rendering work. Polygons still have a performance impact, and they definitely have a performance impact on animated models. Modern GPUs can draw millions of them, yes, but that's just the drawing. Each polygon has multiple additional operations that need to be performed, especially with characters. Each time you move, all those polygons have associated vertices that have to be calculated for deformations. You have to run depth and occlusion tests on each of them for culling or for alpha sorting, etc. Please do not spread incorrect information to people, and always keep your polys to a minimum.
Again, I highly suggest you have a sit-down sometime and look into what goes into drawing a polygon on screen. It will be very enlightening. I'm not saying you should agonize over each triangle but to suggest what is clearly a multi-million-poly avatar would be fine to upload and not impact performance is outright incorrect, especially if you multiply this cost by the number of avatars on screen. VRChat has limitations for a very good reason, it's not just to ruin your day.

**Blender 2.9 weight paint question: **So in 2.8 I usually used "x mirror" in weight paint options to keep weights mirrored - now after some updates, whenever I toggle the "x" in options it also toggles x symmetry which either does nothing or screws over weight mirroring between left and right bones...
Am I just missing something or like how are people doing weights now?
outer ginkgo

the X mirror isn't used for weights, the mirror modifier + naming your bones with ".L" and ".R" should have the same effect though

white moth
Wait, does mirroring clothing UV's break the normalmaps?
latent charm
Yes. Normal maps are very strongly tied to the geometry and the UVs.
white moth
So if hypothetically I cut pants in half, and mirrored the remainder (so that the texture is now used symmetrically, and only half of the texture space is used) the normalmap on half of it is now busted and bouncing light wrong?
It looks fine but with normalmaps I just don't know, they're hard to tell
latent charm
Actually, no I think it might be okay.
maybe
The best way to check is to find an area that you know how it should be correctly shaded, grab a point light and move it around the area. If it's always lit as expected then it is probably okay.
If you're baking your own normal maps, the best thing to do with identical UV islands is to just move them one whole UV space to the right (or left, or any direction really) so they'll be ignored by the bake but will still get the texture because UV space repeats by default.
