.psd update little bug

[brazen sapphire]

Hello,
I tried to update my model by sliding in the new .psd with just light changes, here are the parameters I have done, but 90% of my layers become invisible. I've done it before multiple times and it never happened, I'm currently meshing my parts
Do you have an idea what is causing this ? Thanks!

[flat tide]

if you click on the body part on "Parts" channel, what it showed?

[brazen sapphire]

for the torso, it's showing something like this. It's selected, but nothing appears

only the face folder appears to be more precise

and the mouth, eyeballs, eyes, nose, very hairs and brows, but not the ears nor the back hair, nor the neck and nor the body folders

[flat tide]

You haven't rig anything yet it seems.... If you import the PSD to a new file, is it still as problematic?

[brazen sapphire]

like this ?

or this ?

[flat tide]

Create new model

[brazen sapphire]

the new file works alone

[flat tide]

I see, since you haven't rigged anything why not use that?

Hm? Why there are two arm? Is that the design?

[brazen sapphire]

well, i have been already working on my first file for a bit, as i was meshing and everything, and to be honest i don't want to redo it.. again as i already had a problem with a precedent file and yes that is the design!

[flat tide]

You can copy the mesh from the old file to the new one.

[brazen sapphire]

not a bad idea.. thanks!

i hope it doesnt happen again if i try to update it later

[flat tide]

How big is your psd?

[brazen sapphire]

2000 * 4000, as i was on Procreate, with 125 layers. It's only the second VTuber that i rig (and the first one was a year and a half earlier)

[flat tide]

Procreate? Have you save the PSD on another file?

I mean another drawing software

[brazen sapphire]

yes, my last problem was because i only saved my .psd from procreate. So now i saved it on procreate, then re save on Krita

[flat tide]

For this one when you update it you also save it again, right?

[brazen sapphire]

yep

as you can see, it is a Krita file

but in .psd

[flat tide]

I honestly have no idea what caused it. Hopefully nothing wrong with the new file

[brazen sapphire]

i love my life, this project is cursed thanks again, hopefully i will not have to sort my kayers a third time

[keen pulsar]

From what i heard with krita, you might have to use the "export as" to psd, NOT the "save as". But since i dont use krita Im not sure how that works.

[brazen sapphire]

i just got the exact same problem, but i took hours to mesh the face and didnt see it for a very long time, so i'm going to try that

[brazen sapphire]

didnt change anything, i miss a leg and an accessory, and even in my last save i have the sames problems

i might have found a solution ?- i have opened two saves save4 that had the problem first, save8 who has the problem now, i tried to copy past the missing part in save 8.. and it worked ?

now i guess by security i will have 2 saves open until i find why when i update my model layers become invisible ?

If you have the one that became invisible
can you do this for me?
1.-Click the piece that disapeared
2.-click Mesh editor
3.- Change display to second option
4.-take a screenshot of how everything looks

[brazen sapphire]

okay i'll do it, give me a sec

so i recreated the bug artificially

it appears on the mesh edit (ps : it wasnt the case the last few times, i did what you said and it only appears in display : show model image)

i'm also currently sending a question forms to Live2D to report that bug

if i have news, i will keep you aware

[glossy lava]

does that display is first or second option?

i was looking for the second option of display that is called model image

[brazen sapphire]

This one is first, but when I switch to second, we also can see the texture

It's only not in mesh mod that it's invisible. Like the layers are here in the list, but not here

[glossy lava]

let me do some questions first to know exactly the situation
did you already did atlas texture?

[brazen sapphire]

Nope

[glossy lava]

ok

[brazen sapphire]

I'm following a tutorial, and I'm still meshing

[glossy lava]

can you go to mesh editor, delete the mesh, do a simple square mesh all around
then accept
then go to the top menu
modeling > edit form > revert to original

[brazen sapphire]

I'll give you updated, I just turned off my computer to get some rest bc I'm a bit sick I'll do that tomorrow

(french hours, it's 8pm)

[glossy lava]

dw take your time, if you need anything feel free to pin me

[brazen sapphire]

Thanks that's really kind ^^

[brazen sapphire]

so, i did what you asked, and .. nothing c':

but I noticed there are two invisible bug type ; the one that we can see in mesh edit like the chest, and the one totally bugged and invisible, like the leg here

[glass totem]

Could be a problem with the program, usually when my layers go invisible its because i normally use the automesh feature so the program does it for me and sometimes when theres small pixels or “dust” around the art layer the mesh breaks and the whole layer becomes invisible so i have to redo it manually XD hopefully your issue gets resolved 🙏🙏

[brazen sapphire]

yeah i saw that problem on internet, but its not the case with me i'll keep you aware if Live2D responds

[glossy lava]

this is first option of the display, i need you to select second option

when you select second option you dont see the rest of the model

the fact that on the left side we can see the preview of the model make me thing that you probably used automesh, so we are fixing that first

[brazen sapphire]

Yess I did auto mesh before meshing manually, bit the problem was occurring before the meshing. I can't access to my computer today, so I'll give you updated

Btw Live2D gave me a response, being just "use CSP or Photoshop only", literally-

[glossy lava]

you used other software to make the psd?

[glossy lava]

well the problem is that sometimes automesh or auto-stuff breaks things thats why we try to get them back ro original after square meshing, but still i dont know whats the real placement of your texture because you havent show me the display second option

the reason why second option of display is more important in your case than first option
is because, first option will show you the current situation or status of a layer on the model, so if its lost is not gonna show
BUT if you select second option of display, this will insolate only the layer itself and only show that layer, that means that if the layer exist after the replacement of psd, it should show. even if the layer is broken for a bad meshing, it will still show, so we can delete everything from there, re-mesh and then revert to original so the software can recover the layer from wherever it is after breaking

[brazen sapphire]

I'm sorry I can't get to my computer, but indeed when I tested it was showing in the case it was still invisible in the 1st statut

[glossy lava]

yeah thats why we are ignoring first display option
