Hey, I got a quick question if anyones here. When I export a blender file to .fbx and import it into unity it loses its materials and is grey. I use cycles materials, does anyone have any ideas why this happens?
spiral canyon
Alright, I'm guessing the best practice is to use blender render materials then?
Yeah, I guess I could do that. It would have the same effect

hey, so I made a plant, and gave it a custom leaf particle in blender, but for some reason the leaves don't show in the engine. latest stable version of unituy
white goblet
I can't find any documentaiton on google about importing particles from blender
white goblet
like how can I make this in unity? I can only import the body of the plant
unity only shows this
white goblet
how does one do that?
thanks. also how can I adjust the shadows in unity? do I just mess with the sun?
I had another 3d question: I can't get materials to import in blender files. do I need to make uv maps of the materials?
white goblet
ahhhh ok thanks
do you know of any free material making apps I can work with for unity?
white goblet
yes.
and when i use the motion blend tree with two animations for my character, it distorts the scaling for some reason
white goblet
it does this when it should not
sullen plank
What do you mean? btw it looks like at least the trunk on your plant has normals flipped. Also setting shadows to double sided usually fixes light leaking through the seams.
white goblet
ok. i think it was just a mispelling in the controller script. and I did not realize that about the plant
sullen plank
in Blender in the edit mode select all faces and Shift+N to make them consistent.
white goblet
ah I just flipped normals
odd. it renders like this in blender, but in unity it's flipped normals
sullen plank
It's double sided shader probably. You can render it in Unity using double sided as well.

how is blender for sculpting
would rather not rip more food out of my poor savings account for zbrush
rapid echo
@split hound Blender is good in sculpting and best it is free. You can get decent results.
However, you should keep saving for future because Zbrush is really best. I have used both. There are some features in ZB which are very powerful. One issue I had in blender during sculpting was slower performance when working in high res meshes which ZB can handle more efficiently. Still try both.

Hi everyone i have an issue with my material on my imported 3D OBJ :

iron flare
Maybe it has something to do with the handle UVs ?
eager mist
how can i check for it ?
iron flare
Since the cube is 1m unit width , and 0-1 UV it is more detailed
You courld increase by 10 your tiling in the material
just to check it out if you see details appearing
iron flare
if "Metal_12" is the same material on your door , set the tiling x y at 10 instead of 1
and check if your door has now details in the metal
eager mist
Ok i try
iron flare
But first , are you sure both of the cube and door share the same material ?

@granite pasture, after you've modelled this, since it's quite detailed, you should bake the detail onto a less detailed version of the model as a bump map and such, so you don't hog up the vertices and VRAM.

Why in blender is 0 the rotation and Unity tells me that it has -90 rotation in X ??
sullen plank
Your parent or object itself most likely turned around or has not applied rotation settings. When importing from Blender to Unity models only have front and back switched.
sullen plank
Ctrl+A and apply Rotation and Scale on the object before exporting.
pseudo minnow
@sullen plank
i am a 3d designer I have advanced level in 3d modeling, but I have no experience in UNITY, my field of modeling is architectural not in game engine
sullen plank
Yep
pseudo minnow
I apply this all the time, if I did not, my textures would not be good
sullen plank
If that doesn't work recheck FBX export settings. But AFAIK Unity ignores Axis settings there and only issue is 180 flip on Y axis, not aware of any 90 degree flips.
sullen plank
Never used with .blend files. When exporting FBX with !Experimental transform settings models are pretty clean with correct rotation and scale.
pseudo minnow
@sullen plank I understand, but in reality I need to solve this technical problem since I work in a project that requires it
sullen plank
Sorry, don't have old Blender installed to test. New one has incompatible blend files anyway it seems.
pseudo minnow
@sullen plank the version of blender does not imply any change in the construction of the file blend technically the file blend is a compressed structured of information and data, it can be done with any file of any version of blender superior to 2.5
I am also a computer security programmer or hacker as they want to call my trade
even so I appreciate the effort to help, I will continue looking for answers before turning directly to unity
sullen plank
@pseudo minnow It seems it's a thing with .blend files, all individual models are -90 on X. Tested on Unity 2019.1 with Blender 2.79. Suggest using containers to correct this or export as FBX to have clean models.
And yes, Blender 2.8 blend files are not supported at all.
pseudo minnow
@sullen plank :the worst I've seen
as far as I understand it may be that unity and blender have different axes systems, this would be one of the conditions but not the problem, I would like to solve it, since I do not intend to use blender 2.8 since I have my own fork UPBE blender 2.79.5c R1c56 , I would also like to work with unity so I would like to solve this.
I will use FBX up while I work on a solution for this problem, maybe sell blender if unity I do not fix it is very rare, for an engine with so much support and development to leave a loose end like this is embarrassing
near lotus
@pseudo minnow Blender and Unity use different up axis. Blender is Z and Unity is Y. Unity will auto-rotate your imported model so that it's oriented properly, which is why it rotates it 90 degrees.
pseudo minnow
@near lotus jejejejej
I found out 5 minutes ago in a very quick reading of uniti
remember that what you just commented, that blender uses z as different than most 3d engines, and work on the solution can be corrected with a few small changes in the blender exporter to unity, maybe it does not intersect anyone but Hare is a challenge for me and I like to finish what I start
Thank you very much for reading and responding, now I can apply a solution

I don't know why, but a model I'm trying to import a model from Blender to Unity and it's missing some faces.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
sullen plank
Your normals could be flipped. Select all faces then Shift+N and export again
sullen plank
It's Blender shortcut to recalculate normals. You have to be in edit mode with the faces selected
mystic briar
I've done that but there was no notable change in Blender
limber condor
@sullen plank @mystic briar Could this be caused by the mesh compression setting in the unity Import settings?
mystic briar
How do I access the mesh compression setting?
limber condor
It would be in the inspector when you select the model in the explorer
mystic briar
What setting should it be on?
limber condor
I would think off
sullen plank
Resetting export settings wouldn't hurt. Also if you want to make sure it's not flipped normals https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/100196/viewing-normals-in-blender
mystic briar
Off was the default setting, and I got the result above.
sullen plank
It may have problems recalculating normals automatically if there are anomalies with the mesh, like extra vertices.

It is recommended to have a mesh with a maximum of 4000 faces, but how many total faces of all the meshes in the scene could you have? I have a lot of individual rocks with an average of 40 faces, 300 of these rocks would add up to 12,000 faces ... and I do not know how this affects my performance.
help ?
civic mesa
Ummm this is quite complex qustion. I don't know where they recommend to have max 4k faces ( I mean, characters in a mobile game can easly have ~12k). There is some max poly number for mesh to be included in batching process (thats ofc. for static meshes). What is/are your target platforms?
@eager mist
eager mist
I remember seeing an unity article where it was recommended and my platform is PC
the rocks use the same material and are static
@civic mesa
civic mesa
If it's PC, Polygons is not something you should worry about. You should be ok with 1-2mil polys on screen. The bigger problem is the amount of objects. Its better to have one mesh that has 12.000 faces than 300 unique meshes that have ~40 polys each. Read about batching. It should help you.
@eager mist
eager mist
@civic mesa well, is that some case if I start to join meshes these would have more than 1 material and I read that it is advisable to have only 1 material per mesh, for this reason I separate my meshes, example I have a spring with 3 different meshes, if I mix them, will have a single mesh with 3 materials, what would be the best option?

you're going to have a really bad time with cutting holes in meshes in Unity. i've spent many hours trying to figure out something similar to you want. boolean mesh operations are probably similar to what you want, but the results may not be very good, depending on the mesh.
https://github.com/karl-/pb_CSG
@river echo
another option is a stencil shader to fake the hole. physics will be a bit more difficult though

Aside from putting up wall beams all over the seams, what else can be done to remove these seams?

@pastel owl Late response I know and only kind of answers your question but it completely depends on your target hardware, amount of characters etc.. If you're game is aimed at high end PC, you could have 30 materials at 200k polygons with ten chars in a scene plus another eight million poly's worth of enviro stuff and a metric ton of other materials , the PC's would hardly break a sweat.. If you went for console / mobile / intel graphics machines you'd probably want to aim far lower.. Test, test, test some more and you'll easily find out.

crimson vector
I'm unsure if this fits here,
is there a way to measure my 3d models boobie size in engine?
grizzled bone
not exactly appropriate but you can measure the distance between vertices
vestal dew
@crimson vector need some context info:
-are all the models made by the same person or with the same method?
-if yes, are they procedurally generated?
-Do bigger boobs have more vertices?
-Anime or realistic?
And also, is the size assesment supposed to be continuous or once in a while?
@lunar dagger No, it's not like that, more like the surface normals breaking up on the edges, as if they were different separate planes rather than a continuous shape
crimson vector
Ok, @vestal dew
The models are make in a program called Vroid studio.
They are partially procedurally generated by the program, but I make the character details.
hmm, let's see... well, the boobs tend to get really big if you pull the slider all the way to the right so, yes?
theyre anime girls, but im not sure that really matters.
I only plan to do this once, to define my characters info more.
and for @grizzled bone's answer
I tried that i came up with
Boobie Length: 2.13 inches
Booble Height: 2.96 inches
Boobie Width: 3.48 inches
but that's like square, and not at all accurate
vestal dew
How did you get those calculations? Did you write a script in Unity?
crimson vector
I made a script to place on two objects and made them reference eachother while calling "Vector3.distance" every frame with [ExecuteInEditMode], setting a float to the distance found.
it's really simple.
[ExecuteInEditMode]
public class differ : MonoBehaviour
{
public differ d;
public float e3;
void Start()
{
if (d != null) {
d.d = this;
}
}
void Update()
{
if (d == null) return;
e3 = Vector3.Distance(transform.position, d.transform.position);
}
}
I made the script quick with no intentions of ever using it again, so that's why the variables are named like that
vestal dew
mhhh, it looks like there's an easier way of doing this, if it can be considered easy, but it doesn't involve Unity
you can import the model into Blender and, I can't believe I'm saying this, you have to cut one boob out, or at least copy/paste it as a different object
then bring up the Print3D menu and use the buttons there to obtain the precise size, this assuming the model gets imported to the right scale

and notice how the faces running along the middle are all squished horizontally
Redistribute the UVs on the model, for starters

Does anyone know why people can't see my blender model that I imported as an assets into Unity, if they open a collab project?
granite shadow
how can i make faces like this flat, is there any tool?
mystic briar
@granite shadow Select and delete the two faces plus the edge between them, select the 4 vertices, then press F to create a new face
granite shadow
@mystic briar there's no edge it's only one face i fixed it by moving vertices the problem is there is so many faces like that
sharp crow
Yea.... not very good... so many problems when it comes to moving, and not sure how to fix certain abnormalities... such as his arms sink in, or his chest rips apart...
vestal dew
@mystic briar those people must have Blender installed too, because Unity hooks into the local Blender installation to make the .blend import work
mystic briar
I thought as much, so one them installed Blender, but still couldn't see it.
vestal dew
@granite shadow delete the face and keep the vertices, then connect the opposite vertices with an edge and fill the missing faces
there must be a name for that situation
I don't recall it right now
mystic briar
Do they have to have Blender previously installed before downloading the project?
vestal dew
@mystic briar no, just ask them to click right on the assets and do a reimport
assuming Blender is installed

You're welcome, I also had issues with that when switching PC, I had almost released an app with invisible assets because Unity won't complain

Ummm
you need to either re-model it, use double sided material or make non-transparent windows
@eager mist
or maybe the model has more materials than listed in Unity and it simply doesn't render them

try different shader types

celest crown
Assuming the material is fine, you probably need to UV unwrap the mesh
If it's not unwrapped then the whole mesh would be just sampling the pixel at 0,0 of the texture, which is why it's one flat colour
drowsy harness
How would I go about UV unwrapping in script?
celest crown
it's a procgen mesh? or an asset in the project? I think there's an auto unwrap option in the import settings if its an asset
I'm not sure about UV unwrapped a procgen mesh though
celest crown
Well, the easy part of the question is that you need to set the UVs using the myProcGenMesh.uvs property. The hard part is working out what values to put in the uvs buffer

UV unwrapping was the case. Thanks!

Hello! I have a question about avatar customization. I am working on a 3D game that has customizable avatars. We will have a female and male character model, and customizations will mainly be limited to the head and face, so the main body shape and size of the models will remain constant. The game will also contain equipable and swappable clothing (Shirts, jackets, pants, hats, et cetera).
So, what I want to know, is if there is a way to have clothing pieces we create work with both Male and female avatar models. Hats are a non-issue, but we want to prevent having to model 2 versions for most clothing items if possible, since we will potentially have a massive catalog; Are there any suggestions for how to go about doing this? Thanks!

In the DCC / 3D package I usually snap to edge / vertex which stops it or I'm really careful.
Although my setup is based on a city so it's not all that complicated, when you start having miles and miles of road / complex twists and turns everywhere just go spline it's far easier.

Hey everyone, I created a cool model of an island in Blender following this tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lj643VmTsg), and although it looks great in Blender, parts of it appear white when I import it to Unity (the ground and the water). I think this may be due to 2 things :
- the ground was painted using Blender's vertex painting, and apparently this is problematic with Unity
- the water used a custom Blender node-based shader to give it a transparent/glossy look
Therefore I have two questions :
- how to make my vertex-painted colors appear inside Unity ?
- is there a way to import to Unity the node-based shader I created in Blender for the water ?
Here is what it looks like in Blender
And here is what it looks like when I import it to Unity
deft lagoon
baking the textures (search on youtube) and importing them with the model into Unity should work
You can't import blender shaders into Unity

You'll need vertex shader for this. Haven't exported from Blender, but I've seen some tutorials illustrating this.
You can find one or how to make one for the default pipeline. It's easy to make one yourself in ShaderGraph.

forest ice
anybody familiar with creating custom meshes in Unity?
Is duplicating vertices really the only way to get any sort of hard edge?
Or is it possible to somehow dupe the renderer into using polygon normals
although I don't know that that might look like π
willow nebula
@forest ice You can use DDX/DDY functions in the shader to "force" having polygon normals, but dupplicating the vertices is probably easier if you're making your own mesh
forest ice
@willow nebula yeah, I ended up googling some more and hitting on a shader that uses those functions, however I couldn't get it to work beyond flat shading for every polygon regardless of angles. I ended up rewriting the mesh generation to duplicate the necessary vertices instead.
Still kind of frustrating since I figure there is literally a hard physical edge there that "should" be possible to utilize, but I guess if that's not how Unity does things it can't be helped π Thanks for taking the time!

@wary root You have to apply rotation and scale in Blender to the model and then when exporting there's !Experimental! Apply Transform checkmark when exporting FBX, it will have 1:1 scale in Unity

granite saffron
hey, is now better use Blender Eevee instead Cycles right? So we don't have to bake to have all the materials
*to have all the materials in Unity
ebon ermine
@foggy vine
the answer is a bit more difficult. Overlaps dont cause issues. And if your model looks similar to what you have there its better to combine it manually. The problem arises if you for example merge the entire terrain with lots of houses etc. Because unity can handle object culling before combining them and sending them off to the gpu... so stuff thats always seen together should be merged and otherwise might be better of left apart
@granite saffron it doesnt really matter. Because in both cases you will need to rebuild the materials in unity.
Really eevee is just a nicer way to preview your materials in realtime. It wont help you create all the textures/shaders. (except in the sense that you can preview the textures while painting them)
@foggy vine i guess i should add that the combining that unity does, doesnt work like a boolean. it just puts all the meshes in there and doesnt worry about overlaps.
granite saffron
@ebon ermine okey, thanks. The good point is that with Eevee and with a plugin in unity, the materials appear. Without baking before in blender. Is just amazing

Why the hell is my exported textures from substance painter not fitting on my mesh WHICH WAS ALSO EXPORTED FROM SUBSTANCE PAINTER
there is no tiling on the materials

it makes no sense
I haven't changed the UVs AT ALL since I started texturing
I export the textures and mesh from substance painter, put them into Unity (removing all old versions of the textures/model beforehand so I don't get confused) and create a material for them
they don't fit correctly

And I fear I have to reduce the amount of faces for my monsters. But I also need to finish the boots and legs for it
I also will use the pockets I build just as a textur orientation and delete the mesh of it later

okay so I updated to 2019.2.1 and I can actually import blender files properly now

Still need to figure out why not all the animations are importing with the model though

anyone have on tips on how I could improve the model? kinda new to modeling
I like the disproportionate look he has so I dont mind the long arms or oversized head

I downloaded the model pack. There are many of them, when I try to drag one of them onto the stage, everyone appears. How to fix it?
What am I doing wrong?

That's only one model (one model asset file), with multiple objects inside. You can't drag & drop only one object, but once you've put all of the in the scene, you can separate them
gritty reef
@fluid vapor Hard to say without knowing the style you're going for. I would say add some hips so the legs fit into them nicely instead of just looking like they're clipping into the torso. Some feet might be nice, and maybe add some slouch to the shoulders to break up that flat across shoulder/chest area. If the arms/legs are going to bend, some more easily visible joints might look good as well.
willow nebula
@fluid vapor Not totally related, but I'd recommand that you switch to the new version of Blender (2.8) so you won't have to experience the huge UI change, as you're starting from clean bases.

oh I probably havent updated blender in a while lol

guys, i download this free asset for an offroad car, i need to dettach it's wheels tho..... can some one help? i have zero 3d skills and no tools at all
i need this so i can make the wheels work separately

So I have this guy I have been working on for almost 3 months now. With the prototype I built, I was lucky enough to find some senior graphics guy to come on board. We are both new to Unity and trying to see if there is a way to quickly apply some shaders or something to quickly change and test look and feel of the game graphics. You know how you have those filters for photos on the Instagram app to try on different look and feel effortlessly? Is there a way to do this with 3D assets in the scene?

you tried with PostProcessing?

I thought my confusion with exporting from blender was all in the past.
But I think my brain is about to explode at this point...
First off. What does this second sentence even mean? :
"The main body mesh(es) of a vehicle should be oriented such that the positive z-direction points out from the grille, and the positive y-direction points up from the roof.
Suspension objects (not the meshes) should have their positive z-directions point out from the sides of the vehicle they are on, and their positive y-directions towards the roof."..?
How can the Positive Z axis point forward (direction of grille) on one object, and Out the side of that in a child object? I cant make that work in my head or using a Empty GO
And then there's the issue of at all getting the model into Unity with thee right forward axis..

Alright, I've got this organic metal character
I want his hand to look the same, but I want these "extensions" of his hand (for holding larger objects requiring 2 hands) two be procedural in blender
How do I accomplish this?

so i'm new to unity and i'm attempting to import these materials into my project:

however, they look like this when applied to a stretched object
and i can't find the corresponding option to switch from clamp to repeat
any suggestions?

hey all, I'm having trouble understanding the importing of prefabs. every time I import an .fbx it has a little "file" icon over the blue prefab icon. and when I double click it, it doesn't open in prefab mode, it opens the model in paint3d. can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I'm exporting from 3ds max
I don't get it, shouldn't I be able to import this from 3ds max and then open it in prefab mode and edit it there
clear sable
How do I get this to not look like a lightsaber lol
gritty reef
@elder oyster If you've already got your asset in your folder, you can right click > Create > Prefab Variant and it'll make a prefab copy that you can open in the prefab editor.
I don't know if that's the "proper" way to do it, but it works π€·

So is he a bunny/fairy/jester? Do you have any lore thought up for that or is it just off the top of your head?

Hi everyone, i was just getting to build my big "map" in unity, and i wonder what kind of tools and stuff you guys recommend from the asset store. Stuff that can build shapes and maybe stairs etc. I've heard of probuilder. Is that a good tool for a beginner? Is snaps good?
sturdy scaffold
@gritty reef
He is the smallest of a 4 group of jesters/clowns. But he is just not as funny and neither as popular as all of the other clowns. This made him drown in sorrow and grief. So his darit companion in his mask took over to fulfill his dream in a aggressive distorted way. To took over the whole circus and be the biggest clown ever with a show were he is the only star in.
His obsession to act overshadows the need for him to defeat the heros. what will happen to him in the end of the fight depends on the heros. Will it be a drama or a comedy.
gritty reef
That sounds hella cool

darites are somekind of nature spirit in that word. depending on how they get raised they and their user can turn into monsters or guardians that resemble either holy beasts or demons. that monster is more based on baphomet.
trying to make a game. I got now 3 scripters. just not enough artist, writer or 3D designer.

Ahh gotcha.
I'd be happy to model some small stuff for you, but I'm only about 3 months into seriously working with 3d and brand new to unity.

@eager mist just dont set a texture, and set the albedo colour to whatever you need.

Anyone got any idea why this mesh is following my camera??? i just ran combine meshes on it, no scripts are active - the editor is in play mode cos i just used that to tsst the combining, but its paused! The object shouldnt be able to move, but it is!
(As if that wasnt wierd enough, the mesh should now be one piece, but only one part is following the camera!)

What is the parent object for the cut mesh?

Hello, can anyone please tell me how to properly configure my detail meshes? I can get them into my terrain but the texture UV shows up screwed up. Do I need to use a special material shader like you do with grass and trees?
I'm making them (rocks) in 3ds max and importing using a .3DS file

Hi,
I have a bit noob question:
I need to create a 3D plane, which is not a rectange (exactly it's a trapeze). Can somebody help me?
eager mist
If you have a 3D program like Blender or 3Ds Max then you can easily create it there
If not there's a asset in Unity Assets Store called Polybrush
I think you can do what you want to with it
whole fog
I cannot figure out why all my animations are not importing into Unity from Blender
gritty reef
@eager mist What small cat said ^^
Doing a plane is super super easy stuff so even without ever opening the program before I'm sure you can do it with ease. If you want to take the super simple route, you can create a plane, add more width/length segments and move the vertices or edges around to suit your needs.

hey guys why does this happen when i transfer unity animations to blender they supposed to be arms i thought once i import it back to unity it would fix itself because i imported it to UE4 just to test and UE4 managed to fix it but unity doesn't
