One question guys, is it too late for me to start drawing/modeling and get decent/good? Im 16 and barely can make a stickman drawing
Feels like most people that are my age are like 100x better
junior stone
I started when I was 18, going to unviersity
its never too late to start tho
all it is, is persistance

nah 16 is fine
usually you dont get taught these kinds of things in school unless you go to a specific uni or college for it and by that time you're generally around 18 or older
junior stone
(Like I did)

so anything you learn before that is only extra knowledge
cursive sail
Oh okay awesome yea im willing to stop programming for a while to learn to draw/model
so I can put in a decent amount of hours a week
Well thanks, for letting me know

yah its good to try out a lot of different things anyway, you dont have to focus on 1 thing
maybe you'll enjoy modelling a lot more than programming
junior stone
you might*
cursive sail
Who knows
gritty reef
I started learning programming but enjoyed the limited modeling I was doing along with the programming courses and eventually switched my interests fully to modeling.
junior stone
try and think about what you want to tell a story in the scene. think about composition. make a small list of items you would like in the scene. look for reference on those items. A LOT OF REFERENCE. and make the models.you dont even have to do the whole scene. just doing a few elements of it is a good start to start modeling
@cursive sail

Okay, so i realized that for me, when updating 3d models in Unity, for some reason i have to delete the original 3d model asset from unity first in order to be able to import the updated version.
Reimport doesn't do that i guess.
lucid seal
Would this be the right place to ask about possibilities n' such?
I'm looking to make a 3d RPG like Legend of Dragoon, so I've already got plenty of ideas on what I want to accomplish.
I'm trying to figure out how I'd go about the Ps1-era 3d combat seen in LoD, FF7 and FF8. Creating a separate 3d environment for the battle area and placing the party in a line, that seems like the basic setup, but getting characters to rush directly in front of the enemy and perform their attack animation, then jump back to original position... that's what concerns me for now.
I don't wanna be a pest, btw, so for now I'm just asking, y'know, "Is that doable?"
fallow gate
Don't you just make then run a to b then attack when in range then run back b to a?

@fallow gate you have several options. You can assign several materials to different parts of the object in blender and make sure that in unity the mesh also uses several materials.
Or the better option is to bake all of the objects texture into one texture that contains both the wooden and the metal parts.

Hey im looking for someone to help me with my 3d voxel game with art and stuff
not my thing really
glacial elm
@eager mist Hi. What would you concider to be a good poly limit for a redwood tree. realistic. but game ready
fallow gate
@fallow hamlet my friend did the code so he gets at least half the respect.
eager mist
@glacial elm
That answer is always going to be relative to your performance budget
You need to know approximately what the is and how much poly an asset such as a tree should have
Do you have a forest?
or is it a city with 4 trees?
glacial elm
@eager mist its a forrest. and i did mention realistic. meaning im going from average to high end pc:s
the tree its self is over 70 meters (230 feet)
,etc.....
ive managed to settle it to 13 - 15k but now relized that speed trees unity measurments suck and are not realistic. they are based on generic unitys instead of meeters or any normal unity. Which ment i had to do some math and testing to kinda figure out how the measurments worked. 1m = 4.866 absolute units.
so when i relized that and adjusted size the poly count sky rocketed to 23k. and im trying to get another artists view on how they feel on poly limits of such a large tree
near lotus
I would go anywhere from 2K to 30K on LOD0 depending on the use case
There is just so much to consider
Is the player only ever going to see it from the ground?
Will they be able to walk right up to it?
Is it a slow paced walking simulator where detail is everything, or is it so fast-paced that you won't be able to ever see detail?
My method for trees from a first person ground perspective is to have a moderate poly count base trunk (1-2k) with tessellation, and then extend the trunk into fairly lowpoly branches
Without tessellation, I would triple or quadruple my polycounts probably
But I love detail
near lotus
Well you could be talking about a flight sim or something.
glacial elm
@near lotus its a MMO. I work at a studio. The studio poly limits on such large trees are up to 20k. im below that. But just wanted to see what others think
its fine i think i got it though

Alright.
Speaking of trees, I redid this one and made it better
Still has tessellation cracks I have to remove

How its looking atm. im waiting for the guy im working with who lives in california and has seen redwood trees to tell me if its too big. but in all cases thats the tree. on about 19k polies
near lotus
Doesn't look like 19k polys to me. The polygons should be concentrated at camera height.
glacial elm
@near lotus it is. redwood trees are very complex.
and ive omptimized that shit out of it.
its just the shear size that is killing polies.
a redwood tree is from 250 feet up to 360 feet. (70 - 73 meters average) and have a 10 to 15 feet radius on average
another vid but with it being smaller. still same poly count. its mostly just the clusters causing that though. the clusters are very lowpoly even on LOD0 but a redwood tree has many many clusters on it so its more the amount that is making the clusters take a bit over 10k

Ive wanted to ask this questions to 3d artists for a while... does anyone else feel like Maya/Blender is overly complicated and kind of hard to use? Like if there was a better 3d modeler out there would you switch to it? Or are you using a different program?
I feel like its time for a new program to come out, one that's way more simple and streamlined, intuitive, and is geared towards realtime models/animation
for a while Ive contemplated trying to make one. Besides the fact that its not easy, I've refrained from attempting to do so because my end goal isn't to start a 3d modeling program company, but to create content enjoyed by players/viewers ie. games. But now thinking about how pixar had to create their own software (renderman) to make their movies, I'm thinking its more practical than I did before.
glacial elm
@versed ridge they aren't. just needs the person to not be lazy and actually learn xD
fluid oak
@near lotus I'd love to know more about how you did that, it looks amazingly good
wise vine
@versed ridge Its so complicated because it is a very sophisticated program intended for professional use. There is a lot to learn, but its also extremely powerful.
This is like saying that Photoshop is too complicated, why not use Gimp
well because Photoshop is 100x more powerful
eager mist
@versed ridge
Blender is great. It's also free.
If you want user-friendliness and better 3D modeling tools.
Try MODO.
Modo is more that 3D app that veterans at one point end up using, because it's very 3d modeling centric.
DOOM 2016 was modeled primarily with MODO. MODO was developed by former LightWave 3D devs who wanted to do something better.
Since, MODO has been used for films and games. Films like Iron Man, Pixar films, etc.
near lotus
@fluid oak About 800 pics of a tree run through Reality Capture to obtain a 60 million poly highpoly mesh. Bake that down to a lowpoly mesh, remove lighting, add tessellation and displacement map, make beautiful in HDRP with an HDRI and directional light, tonemapping, contact shadows, etc.
Also bring into substance painter to apply the tiled terrain grass texture to the base of the tree to help blend it in
That can alternatively be done with the layered lit shader but painting it onto the base texture directly is cheaper
eager mist
MODO is still not very well known in the industry, unless you are familiar with big names such as Tor Frick.
The most common 3D apps in the industry are really Maya and 3DS MAX.
Blender is super popular because it's the ''free'' one.
And it is now in a really good spot, in terms of features.
In 2020, you can't go wrong with any of them.
They are all great.

It also does not look like the box has any look yet, intentional?
Maybe like that but with more depth.

outer halo
Fun question for Maya folk.
We have a single FBX that we're turning into a prefab and spawning these a bunch of times (lets say 100) in Unity. Each one will have their own IDs, (001, 002, etc.).
Each of these will have their own animations that essentially move them from their pointA to a pointB.
What's the best way to export these animations from Maya?
We're hoping to do this with some automation such that we dump the animations into the resources folder and apply them (by name) to each of the objects. Therefore, kind of want to avoid having to frame split a single Take001 anim.
I guess the question is, can you export only an animation from Maya? Therefore, we'd have 100 animation exports that we dump into the resources folder to pull from?
wise vine
@chilly oracle As a big fan of Greek Mythology, I am aware of the story of Pandora and her vase of evil spirits. I actually planned this to function as a Pandoras Box, funny you spotted that! Im planning to have it open up with an animation and have evil 'shades' escape from the inside.
By now I've gone with something else for the top spaces because I have limited time and skills. Here is what I have so far:
Im currently doing the painting in Substance Painter, Im going for Jade + Purple Metal. I'll post again when I've finished painting.
fluid oak
@outer halo if you use the right naming convention, Unity will only import the animation and append it to the original model.
and name them with the convention modelName@animationName.fbx. For example, for a model called goober, you could import separate idle, walk, jump and walljump animations using files named goober@idle.fbx, goober@walk.fbx, goober@jump.fbx and goober@walljump.fbx. When exporting animation like this, it is unnecessary to include the Mesh
in these files, but in that case you should enable the Preserve Hierarchy Model import option.```
For FBX files, you can export the Mesh in a Model file without its animation. Then export the four clips as goober@_animname_.fbx by exporting the desired keyframes
for each (enable animation in the FBX dialog).```Tree Stump asset I've created with Blender :^)

something i started yesterday and wrapped up today
heres the concept piece
nice work yo! got a cool sci-fi ish vibe to it
Thanks ๐ Glad I captured that feel, the concept is from star citizen 
versed oriole
Question I couldn't find a proper answer to yet: 3D modelling apps like Blender, Maya, Modo all support mesh instances in the FBX file format. Unity seems to recognise these as well, at least according to the hierarchy. (For example, a quad, a cube and 19 instances of said cube made in modo lead to 1 mesh-item for the quad and 1 mesh-item for the cube with 20 gameobjects total all referring to the cube mesh in the mesh renderer)
But how is that mesh item being handled by Unity / the GPU. Does it make a (noticeable) difference whether you have 1 mesh item or 20? Or are these instances all converted back to whatever the mesh is and treated as unique items?
In other words: What are the pro's and con's of using mesh instances for the specific case of realtime rendering in Unity?
glacial vector
@neat scarab glossiness is just inverted roughness. Painter handles that in the export
junior stone
@versed oriole AFAIK the meshes are just imported together but are handled separately. but its not that big of a difference having 20 meshes of 100 vertices or one of 2000 (this is to scale ofc)
glacial vector
Yes, quite. The memory footprint of the mesh will be smaller. But that's not really a huge problem unless you have very complex meshes. When it's on-screen, instancing doesn't help on the amount of verts unity has to render
versed oriole
Okay, so it doesn't really matter that much and is more of a workflow thing then. Thanks a lot! :)
Sometimes, little questions keep me from actually getting down to the work because I still tend to "over-optimise"... ^^
junior stone
all I can say about that is

I had to load a revit file a while back. that was just hell

just make sure you have good collision meshes
how complex are these meshes you are making?

Just trying to keep everything as performant as possible. ^^
junior stone
on performance then, I w ould like to recommend smt xD
versed oriole
Always aiming for the "FPS OVER 9000!" effect.
junior stone
make sure you have a mesh for visual and collision, separately
if you have a cable on a wall, it wont need collision
versed oriole
Yeah, I thought about using LOD2s as mesh collider as a rule of thumb.
junior stone
I like that, could even be an LOD3 depending on complexity
dunno what style / lighting model you are going for
versed oriole
I'm aiming for stylised realism, just a prototype of a potential remake of a game I used to love and play, which got canned by Ubisoft in 2016 (passion project)
But as I said, for now it's just a blockout.

i mean, getting the game blockout and flow right is the first step. after that you add meshes to add detail and make it look good

@eager mist The app is Rhino. A beast of a 3d modeling software. The curves are isocurves or bsplines that describe the surface geometry.. this is a nurb model and not a mesh, so I can export a mesh at various resolutions.. so this can be very high poly

Anyone know why the texture isn't sticking out at all like a PBR material should?
maiden tangle
@elder pecan It's in the last option in terrain tab, gear icon, change to custom material.
willow nebula
@untold edge Define "sticking out" ? Are you expecting some sort of displacement ?
maiden tangle
@untold edge I would suggest checking the heightmap, it's incredibly low is it not?
in the textures themselves
mess with the normals as well
untold edge
I actually did go back and do that @maiden tangle @willow nebula however Iโm starting to figure out that a more long term problem is taking pictures of things that tile together nicely
maiden tangle
Sorry do you mean the long term solution is taking tile pics? I would suggest checking out quixel :)
But also, there are some tools in most modern photo editing software that allows you to create seamless tiles with a given photo, I'm not saying it would work for things as strict as bricks but it's helped me a lot when I was going that route
@untold edge
you definitely want that consistency in whichever style you go that's for sure! something I'm working on at least
untold edge
Well Iโd rather take my own pictures if I can, maybe I need to look into these tile software programs
@maiden tangle I know itโs probably a dumb thing to try and get all the images myself but if I can find a way I should be good
maiden tangle
To each their own :) ps/gimp have plenty of ways to make things tile be it manual adjustment or noise splattering etc
junior stone
to make textures I usually use this xD http://www.boundingboxsoftware.com/materialize/index.php
I hope that link is correct, cuz net security wont let me load the page at work
@untold edge
junior stone
I mean, whats your strategy for creating tiling textures @untold edge
untold edge
I literally started with PBR materials/textures last night so I've not figured that out yet
I just went outside today, took a picture of a wall and later figured out that tiling will be a big problem
junior stone
if something is not tileable, offset it in photoshop (or any other tool) with 0.5 on x and y
fix the tiling and repeat until satisfied
junior stone
if you have a texture for pbr its square right?
you offset it by 1/2 of its width
or height
and you fix the part where they used to have an edge
untold edge
I really wish I wasn't so new at this and understood what this all means lmao
junior stone
what part isnt clear? ๐
untold edge
Well I've no idea what a clone stamp is....
untold edge
so I offset the image by 0.5, which I'm assuming means I move it over to the right by half?
junior stone
this seems to explain the gist of it
junior stone
most of the textures on the site I sent you are tileable, but sometimes you need to do it yourself
untold edge
Yeah they have a tab 'Seamless' which I think is the same thing
Just one other thing, when I create a material, it makes me specify how many tiles it should be. So if I put it on a 1x1x1 cube it has the same amount of tiles compacted into that cube as if I put it on a 50x50x50 cube
junior stone
thats more like a statement than a question tho. What are you asking here?
@untold edge
untold edge
Well is there a way where it auto scales
so if it's 1x1x1 - it tiles 3 times
but if it's 4x4x4 - it tiles 12 (3x4) times
junior stone
thats called world space uv mapping
untold edge
Okay so clearly there's a lot I still need to learn xD
untold edge
hmmm interesting mystery...
mortal wing
anyone had this problem before? a mesh looks fine in maya but in Unity it's as if blend weights are turned off, we checked the quality settings in unity and blend weights is set to 2 bones, plus, it only happens on that mesh, the rest of the character is fine
EDIT: So it turns out it's because in the Quality settings in Unity, blend weight was set to 2 bones only, but the 3d model had about 5 bones painted in its skin weight.
glacial vector
Have you changed the import settings from 'calculate' to 'import' @mortal wing?
mortal wing
the what? are you talking about the normals?
the normals in the import settings have always been set to import, the normals/tangents look fine, it's the skinning in that mesh I'm having a problem with

eager mist

@eager mist Thanks, yes you are right it is too much on the edges, will fix it ๐
untold edge
I'm having trouble with PBR textures, I made one with Materialize and it looks good but when in unity it's completely flat
In unity^^
Materialize
willow nebula
It's because the standard shader doesn't do displacement
If it's the "inflate bricks" that you're looking for
junior stone
@untold edge as @willow nebula said, there is no displacement in the default shader, only normal. You need a different shader model if you want displacement, im not sure which, if its even there by default. You may need to make a shader for it
untold edge
oh shit really
junior stone
normal just makes it look like it has depth, heightmaps actually apply depth to a model
if you look at it from the front and with lighting it should look way better than the way you are looking at it now
Do you know what a normal map actually does @untold edge ?
untold edge
pretty sure it shows the angle that that piece is pointing
junior stone
a normal map is a collection of those vectors for every uv coordinate, it is not the angle itself ๐
untold edge
Well I know the basics, I just thought Unity had it in build where it will displace just like Materialize
junior stone
which in turn alters the orientation of the UV coord and makes it look as if the UV location is in a different position
not by default
pretty sure the PBR model in shadergraph has it, but i wouldnt be suprised if its not
untold edge
Soooo I need to try find a shader that works with displacement?
junior stone
yes
willow nebula
Don't know if it's an option, but HDRP has one. It does mesh and/or pixel displacement
fiery plinth
Hello guys ! I have a quick question. What's the best way to generate collisions for Imported meshes ? Create UCX in 3ds max or generate them in Unity ?
junior stone
high rez mesh (LOD 1) -> low rez mesh(LOD 2) -> ... (LOD X) -> collision mesh (LOD X+1)
untold edge
Right yeah so Unity uses pixel displacement and Materialize does not
junior stone
@fiery plinth
junior stone
in that case you migh tjust be able to do a set of colliders from the LOD 1. depends on the amount and complexity
untold edge
Anyone know how to install HDRP?
junior stone
@untold edge should be in package manager
@fiery plinth in that case just generate collision with MeshCollider and it should not be too bad
untold edge
Yeah I found it in the end @junior stone I really need to remember to delete my questions if I found the answer sorry! ๐
Okay so I got HDRP working (pretty sure anyway), I set the displacement on my material to Vertex instead of pixel but then it displaces the entire material - so basically shoves the wall forward instead of the individual bricks in relation to the height map, I'll try upping the contrast and see what happens but it seems as if it's still 2D
It didn't make any difference rip
untold edge
there's two options:
pixel displacement
vertex displacement
surely they can't be the same
junior stone
you need pixel dispalcement to displace pixels of the UV. vertex displacement is for objects with altered geometry
you are trying to edit the texture, so use pixel
untold edge
Well I want the bricks to stick out and the cement to stay, pixel makes it look like that if you're looking straight on but it doesn't actually do it
I thought vertex was more what I saw in Materialize where it actually does stick out
junior stone
think about what you are doing
vertex or pixel displacement
if you displace the vertices of a plane what happens to the plane?
untold edge
Well I assumed that unity uses the texture maps to divide the plain into more verticies and then move them
junior stone
thats not a thing unless you do it manually by subdividing
untold edge
Yeah I just tried that in blender
so subdividing does work
however would it then be better just to make a brick wall as a mesh or still better to use PBR material with a heavily subdivided mesh?
junior stone
it depends if you want people to be able to press their face to it
the closer they are to the mesh, the more I would detail the mesh
untold edge
Yeah but how bad will the performance be if I do the subdivide way
junior stone
depends on the scale of your scene.
that mesh in itself wont impact taht much, but if you have millions of polygons in a scene you might see some slowdown
untold edge
I'm very tempted to make an art style similar to Unturned - then just have bigger maps and more dynamic things to compensate
willow nebula
@untold edge If you don't want to subdivide yourself the geometry, look for the HDRP/LitTesselation shader, it will do subdivision for you
Alternatively, when using pixel displacement on the HDRP/Lit, enable "pixel depth offset" and it will appear "like" if the brick wall had a real volume where it overlaps an other mesh.

A, but some of the buttons on the blue side are not fitting with the red side imo
feels weird that everything is rounded, and the arrows are straight
probably a preference on my part tho
gritty reef
He's consistent with the buttons, so I don't see it as a problem. I'd be bothered if some of the buttons are rounded and some aren't.
wheat apex
Interesting, yeah there is aspects of both which bug me a little, I like the clean look of B's lines, and I like the shape and volume of A... lol
Not exactly happy with layout on buttons on red side, however it is just a small background prop.

Does anyone know why Emissive Light from an object doesn't work the same as say a spot light? And if there's a way to make it so they are the same?
willow nebula
You'll need to bake the lighting for that.
Lights = direct lighting
Emissive = indirect lighting
untold edge
I did
it's really...REALLY bad @willow nebula
The light is emitting from an object on the ceiling of that little room there, and it finished baking with this result
This is an image of a normal spot light (though it's in the middle of the large room as seen on the ss) - it's not even finished baking but looks well..yeah
fluid oak
Light objects are an entirely different process from emissive surfaces
willow nebula
Yes, also, baking isn't a magic process that "will make stuff look good"
I suggest that you look at some tutorial on unity light baking and lightmapping

hey all! for people using unity with maya: do you import your maya scenes directly into unity, or do you export from maya to FBX and import the FBX to unity? i've seen people using both, but not sure if one is more highly recommended compared to the other.
ah ok, to answer my own question, via the unity docs (https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/3D-formats.html): "Warning: Unity converts proprietary files to .fbx files as part of the import process. However, it is recommended that you export to FBX instead of directly saving your application files in the Project. It is not recommended to use native file formats directly in production."
so it sounds like you should only use maya scenes when prototyping

I have a 3d model I'd like to use in unity. Last night, while working on attempting to animate it, I learned that it didnt have any bones and needed to be rigged. At that point I realized it was alot more involved than I knew. What kinds of tools dont have a big learning curve when it comes to rigging? I know Blender is probably go to answer but I wouldn't mind knowing of any other paid options that might get me back in to unity and focusing on moving the game forward vs modeling.
I found puppet3d last night too, looks like it can rig about anything is appears to be easy to use.
tidal cairn
blender is the obvious answer
if you can afford it, learn maya
but literally anything you use for rigging isnt gonna be easy

if I do end up selling it, i will do it revshare tho. but first im making a demo to see if people are even interested

hmm you would need a lot of models right?
junior stone
well, I do have a fair amount from the synty store
eager mist
nice xD
junior stone
those are a good base, but I wont have everything ofc
if you are interested I could invite you to the discord server, if only to check it out
(need to add you as friend for that, im not putting that link in here. and I have dm disabled cuz spammers xD)

Hi! Quick question, I just imported a .fbx model made in blender, and wanted to see if the blendshapes had imported properly, but they show up like this (sliders have no circle thingy)
And if I change the values by hand, well...
Using blender 2.8 and Unity 2019.1.8f1 btw
Has anyone run into this before?

Hello ๐ When importing a model made in blender the textures wont show. Why is that?
In blender:https://gyazo.com/7e34d01b278f290ac1991571d9ba5da0
In unity: https://gyazo.com/060b69b4dea7f52a600d468cd863dfe1

is it worth it to get the substance painter subscription or should I get the 2020 version from steam?
its like 100 euros cheaper, but only updates to 2020
how much does substance actually change with updates in you guys' experience?

@halcyon lantern you need to import your individual textures into Unity and then create materials with them then add the materials to your object
halcyon lantern
@eager mist How do I do that? Im totally new to Unity
eager mist
Create a folder called Textures in your Assets folder & import your textures there
then a Materials folder and create materials there
halcyon lantern
@eager mist Thanks!
