[cursive mulch]

do you build all of this i nstudio??

[pastel ember]

yeah

all csg stuff very little is mesh

only stuff that is meshed are the pulls and smokes

[mystic pawn]

peak

[naive elm]

ANSUL 🥹

[teal loom]

yea no im DEFINITELY redoing it the materials are genuinely ass

[rich kettle]

ho lee sheet

[fleet bobcat]

Wdym their ass, I would LOVE for those materials bro 😭

[rich kettle]

i wanna texture this so badly but i dont know how to textureeee and im new and i dont want to be spending 895 eons finding a video that doesnt help

(exporting it to roblox)

[stoic tapir]

Is that modular

You instantly have my respect if so

Still kick ass

[rich kettle]

so i have

an issue

how does one fix this

(substance 3d painter)

[stoic tapir]

Have you unwrapped

[rich kettle]

Yup

For extra detail, if I add a material is appears high quality for half a sec and snaps to extremely low res, same for the mapping

viewport settings is also set to very high so idk what in the world is going on

[cursive mulch]

is it that the 3d viewport is low res, where the 2d one is normal res?

is that the issue or

[rich kettle]

both actually

[cursive mulch]

hm

[rich kettle]

split second of high quality material then kaput

[cursive mulch]

okay a few questions to try and get a better understanding

when you import do you use auto unwrap or do you turn it off

do you bake the mesh

what does the uv unwrap look like

[rich kettle]

1: didn't know you can auto unwrap unless that's been off the entire time(idk)

2. it's baked

3: u don't really have an image for the uv unwrap but I'll try to find it

and bc im in bed

[cursive mulch]

ahh thats fair

yeah when you go to import a mesh, the settings

ill grab a photo rq

[rich kettle]

-# additional there's like 15 meshes

[hoary orchid]

some of them are like this

[cursive mulch]

i would turn off auto unwrap

its generally not useful

[cursive mulch]

oh thats not

they shouldnt be overlapping like that yeah

[hoary orchid]

it's not the issue though is the problem

checked in file

[cursive mulch]

it very well could be part of it tbh

do you have the file? would it be okay for me to take a look at it?

@rich kettle

[rich kettle]

I can forward it

[cursive mulch]

i'll pop it into blender and see if i can figure it out

thank you

[rich kettle]

ya

[cursive mulch]

do you want me to delete or

ill just delete it incase

[rich kettle]

yeah

[cursive mulch]

very cool mesh btw!

[hoary orchid]

i think it's their first

[cursive mulch]

oh boy

hm interesting

ill stream it actually incase anyones curious

[hoary orchid]

thanks for checking it out lava i couldn't figure it out

[rich kettle]

Tbf for a first time laser model I should've expected this

[cursive mulch]

i have a sneaking suspicion that the root cause is the uv unwrapping but ill double check with a before and after

[rich kettle]

well, second time

also how do you get the uv view

so next time I can do that

need to write this down

[cursive mulch]

uhhh

let me try and write out the steps

[rich kettle]

alr

[rich kettle]

could definitely be, I mean the squares as far as I see are rather large

perhaps that could be the cause

since well, larger the square, worse the texturing quality

[cursive mulch]

press and hold Z, then use your mouse to select the "Material Preview"
Once that is done, then select the mesh(s) you want to see the uv unwrap for, and go to Material properties tab on the right-hand side (red sphere with a checker icon)
Once on there, click "New"
Click on the yellow icon beside Base Color (Not the color itself, MUST be the yellow icon)
Click Image Texture
Click New
On the Generated Type Dropdown, click Color Grid
Click New Image
You should now have something that looks like the above, sometimes it might not look exactly the same but it will be because of the uv unwrap, it helps diagnose texture density issues and stretching etc

[rich kettle]

alr thx

[cursive mulch]

no worries!

[rich kettle]

screenshoted thst

also did sum more research

def the uv unwrap

I'll fix it by tmr

[cursive mulch]

there are definitely a few points of key interest I would recommend fixing yeah

mainly the top portion, and the mid portion

where it stretches and/or is solid in colour

[rich kettle]

yeahhhhhhh

yeouchers

but yeah thx alot

I owe you one

[cursive mulch]

i also would recommend when baking to select this

and crank all the secondary rays under each of the common settings

also set it to 4k for max resolution, especially for any larger props it'll be very beneficial

OH WAIT

its entirely inside out

gulp

[rich kettle]

oh dear

[cursive mulch]

easy enough fix though!
select all objects, tab to enter edit mode, then ALT + N to recalculate outside / flip normals

[rich kettle]

its beautiful

[cursive mulch]

holy ive never had a mesh take so long to bake

[rich kettle]

yeah lol

had me waiting a solid 5-10 mind

HELP

ITS NOT

[rich kettle]

Jesus christ

[cursive mulch]

ITS NOT SHUTTING DOWN

oh its done

[rich kettle]

Houston we have a issue

Houston take that back

[cursive mulch]

untextured, this is before fixing any uv unwraps

after bake

let me see if it does the thing

after doing some movie magic and uv unwrapping it and reducing the meshes from X to 3

[rich kettle]

ya

[cursive mulch]

seems to be okay now

i would however maybe manually uv unwrap portions to give priority to more "in-focus" faces, as currently the uh

laser face looks a little low res

btw a fun note; each material you create and assign to a mesh retains even after you merge them together

so even though its three meshes

each material is individually textureable

hope this helps!

[teal loom]

my plan is to be modular but i haven't made the other sections yet

if i wanna be cool ill probably texture it in substance, render it and put it on my artstation

since employers loooooove modular kits

[stoic tapir]

pretty much every game anyone has ever played

Uses modular assets & trim sheets

and not just pipes or scaffolding or metal beams

The actual architecture itself, rooms,floors, ceilings, all being built to be snapped together on a grid

Great examples here

Bethesda uses it a lot in all their games

[teal loom]

the bunker is directly inspired by far cry 5, which uses a modular kit for all region bunkers

[worn apex]

That only makes sense if you do a higher poly detailed mesh to bake onto the low poly

Otherwise just bake it without HP to LP

[cursive mulch]

Well the name says use low poly as high poly, so probably not?

Idk i leaned it from bkb

Bob

[rich kettle]

update: i fucked it up again

(trying to fix up uv wrapping)

[mystic pawn]

what did you even do

also for something as big as that if you dont wanna bother doing complex stuff with uvs id recommend using multiple 4k textures for good texel density, though that isn't as performant as smartly using uvs

[worn apex]

Oh that yeah uh I have no idea what difference that makes

I've looking into it and you absolutely do not have to do that, just press bake by itself without checking anything if you have just the model

Apprently that checkbox is for wanting to align the high poly and testing it by baking the low poly alone

[dreamy bone]

some buttons

reactor is very much a stand in model also. way too similar to the DMR for my own personal liking

i thought that was my laser for a second lmfao

[rich kettle]

lol

[stoic tapir]

Imo these wouldn't really be cores, they're more like star generators

would be neat if theyre making an artificial star, and then using means such as solar or heat to harness the energy from it

OR

the chamber itself has nodes that harness the fusion energy emitting from it

Well

that means the chamber itself IS the internal combustion vacuum chamber

anyway-
THATS COOL AF MAN

[fleet zealot]

800max. Nice

[tawdry fox]

woah buddy

that looks cool and all but that looks alot like the unreleased ball core that im working on for a group

please release it after we do so we can
sue your

thank you

[dusty vault]

hey, please don't add such comments in this forum, we expect positive and constructive criticism, and this is just plain rude.

[tawdry fox]

i didnt mean it like that 😭

[dusty vault]

it's better to avoid making such jokes, as especially with that tone they can be easily interpreted as otherwise. regardless it isn't suitable for this forum, so we ask that you avoid doing it in future.

[loud moon]

ok.

[hushed shell]

how do I texture paint something

in blender

how do I get the UV map as an image that I can design on separately

[hushed shell]

how am I even supposed to texture this

[fleet bobcat]

💀

Good luck

Best answer tho is slowly and painfully

[hushed shell]

Oh

How do I even begin to texture this

Do I just

Take a screenshot of it

[civic torrent]

Step 1: Aquire a 3D texturing software

(Preferably Adobe Substance)

Be careful if you’re gonna go through the Caribbean to get it, try to not get a virus.

[hushed shell]

Can any art program work if the texture isn't super complicated

[teal loom]

fix ur uvs first

[teal loom]

• for hand painting i wouldn't say so, if your uvs are simple enough sure, but at that point paint in blender
• for pbrs, no, no, and no. use a free 3d painting software, or texture in studio by separating your mesh before exporting and using different pbr materialvariants

[hushed shell]

I mean they show up as squares just fine

Or do I literally just scale them by 20

[naive elm]

I made a full pbr texture in figma once

fight me

[hushed shell]

So how do I get it to the app in the first place

[rich kettle]

thats the neat part

you dont

[hushed shell]

What am I supposed to do 😭

Rn my only idea is to cut the parts I want to colour

[rich kettle]

best i can suggest is try to not

put too many seams

unless if you didnt

then uh

[hushed shell]

The part I'm texturing is the big cylinder that makes up the main structure of the ship

I used one seam for the cylinder

Excluding the top and bottom faces

yknow what would make this like 3 times better

Not that it isnt already good

make the frame wrap around the entire thing like a protective cage

like youd see on a dune buggy or monster truck

yes thats a m249

ill be trying to make it actually work (using acs since i cba to scriptt a whole ass gun system)
