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)
Anyone got any clues? The mesh even disappears when I animate it!
glacial vector
We've had this at work before and I thiiiink it was because the blendshapes were keyframed. But i was not the one who fixed it. I'll try to remember to ask and ping you tomorrow @humble barn
humble barn
Ooh, I'll look into that, thanks!
halcyon lantern
Why is the branch texture now showing up doe?!
https://gyazo.com/c0f51cf3d5f2b82227a56dd3b6497918
How do i get this exact tree into unity?
https://gyazo.com/162b0010c137a40ef2065684ba0f4342
halcyon lantern
How do I do that? Im a total newbie
I just started today
I have a texture folder with all my textures including the branch texture
But they still arent showing up for some reason
glacial vector
halcyon lantern
@glacial vector I cant change anything in it
https://gyazo.com/25cdc72dda0241ed313a6d3e33335a27
glacial vector
You need to make a new material. You can't change the imported one
halcyon lantern
I dont know how to make a new material
And why does the tree texture work but not the branch texture?
tidal cairn
you can hit Extract Materials
and then work with the extracted mats
this makes them edit-able
halcyon lantern
I dont see Extract Materials
tidal cairn
click the model, go to the Materials tab
halcyon lantern
Yeah
But Tront when I imported the tree
The tree bark texture worked but not the branches.. Why is that?
tidal cairn
because its transparent probably
glacial vector
You might wanna watch an introduction to unity video if you're brand new
halcyon lantern
Yeh
U recommend a video?
I have seen a couple of videos explaining how to import blender to Unity
But still dont understand
They are either using a older version of blender or Unity
glacial vector
Brackeys has a lot of good videos covering a broad range of topics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlKaB1etrik
halcyon lantern
yeah I actually watched that a couple of hours ago
I watched a youtube tutorial on how to apply texture to a material and that aint working either.. What am I doing wrong?
https://gyazo.com/c565d7d60c5b008474dc9dc11cea7ecc
halcyon lantern
I have no idea..
I just did what the dude in the video said
I don't know what the heck I'm doing
I just want my tree inside unity
humble barn
@glacial vector fixed it, turns out that Unity doesn't take kindly to blender blendshapes that use vertex groups as a mask
glacial vector
Oh I see. Do you have to change your workflow then @humble barn?
humble barn
A bit. The vertex groups allow me to f-up the entire model, but the blendshape will only affect anything within that group in the end, so it's like a mask. I just have to do a lot of clean up now, because of many "dirty" vertices that are outside of those masks, and then remove the masks, and I should be golden
lean vale
not sure where to post this prefab/material-related question.
I got a prefab of an fbx file (that's a level map) 8 different children empties each with multiple meshes. Each of those meshes have anywhere from 1 to 6 different materials.
I recently added a material to one of those meshes and re-exported it from Blender.
Upon import, the material isn't added to the mesh in the prefab, but all the original materials are offset by 1 (because of the newly added material).
Is there an easy way to somehow refresh the prefab so it adds the new mat in there? Or do I have to manually reapply every single mat for each mesh?
Edit: If I manually add an extra mat to the mat element array for the mesh, and just reapply each of the mats for said mesh it seems to work. If anyone knows of a better way, please say! Thx.
lean vale
Diff question:
Anyone know how to make it so the Unity FBX exporter doesn't consolidate vertices on exported meshes? I got some trees. The leaves are 2 separate planes with vertices in the same position but their respective normals are facing in opposite directions. On export, the verts in the same pos get combined so I end up with only 1 triangulated plane.

Is there a way to quickly edit the color of a texture painted on a terrain?
This sounds like the dumbest question ever.
tidal cairn
you mean like tinting it?
or just straight up painting on it because then you might as well open photoshop?
round cedar
Yes just tinting
@tidal cairn I'm a very new user, excuse me for the dumb question.
I see how to do that with a .mat but not a .terrainlayer
tidal cairn
its not a dumb question
terrains in unity are weird
tbh Im not sure how you'd do it. Ive been in shadergraph so long I always just say use that

Hi everyone ! - nice hammer !!! - How do you turn this mesh into its own thing rather than being in a prefab with its material (just imported fbx)
I just don't want it to spawn as a prefab when drag and dropped and don't want to use this material like at all, ever, maybe I'll give it a new one later but right now I just need him to be a mesh
I thought I could easily unpack that but somehow its not possible through right click options i think
crimson vector
I don't know where nav mesh related stuff goes
for some reason my ai character can't walk onto other objects
It shows the place as walkable, but...
so confusing
the wierd part is that it works only when it's not directly linking to the other object
a straight on connection he refuses to cross
but if it's disconnected he thinks it's fine to run across
tidal cairn
oh thats quite strange indeed
crimson vector
it gets even wierder with a gap
he seems to prefer jumping across instead of walking wierd guy
cinder saddle
Your first geo is flat all vertice on same Z axis?
cinder saddle
all the time navmesh is the same ?
crimson vector
yeah i think so unity shows it as connected
cinder saddle
okay show us your collisions then :p ?
crimson vector
the first image i sent shows what it's showing me
cinder saddle
I'm guessing your collisions have an offset
crimson vector
collisions ill check
cinder saddle
Making it collide and not go on the platform on the first shot, working when its jumping lower etc maybe a tiny offset but enough to get you stuck
crimson vector
there's no offset to the collider nor the objects
cinder saddle
Im discovering pro builder atm tbh so if you find i ll love to read the answer aha
Btw. Why the Probuilder assets do not show in Hierarchy? Are we supposed to convert them to 'actual geo' afterwards?
crimson vector
they are in the hiarchy named "cube" normally
cinder saddle
Show inspector for the tiny block ?
crimson vector
it's not really tiny
it's about x 2, y 0.1, z 2
but i found out why it was doing this
the players collider decided to somehow get lower than the nav mesh agent's ground checking distance
cinder saddle
ah the little bastard
crimson vector
it's wierd because i distinctly remember putting it above it
anyways thank you for trying to help me <3

@hidden laurel in your render settings is the light limit set too low? If you delete the one light that is working will the other one start working?

Good evening ! Has anyone ever done or used a POM+PDO shader ? Trying to reproduce this from previous UE4 project : https://forum.unity.com/threads/pom-pdo-setup.824121/

hey there im trying to have a cube follow the mouse position but whenever i start it it will follow the mouse and send the cube flying towards the camera.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class dragObject : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject objToMove;
private float raycastLength = 100f;
private Camera cam;
void Update()
{
Vector3 mousePos = Input.mousePosition;
Ray castPoint = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(mousePos);
RaycastHit hit;
if (Physics.Raycast(castPoint, out hit, Mathf.Infinity))
{
objToMove.transform.position = hit.point;
}
}
}
lol does it have a collider?
the raycast is hitting the object
and it moves it closer
and the raycast hits the object again
and lol zooop
you can use a layermask too if you need the collider for some reason
@eager mist

Hi
hidden laurel
is it possible to have planes with 2d sprites act as if they are in 3d space, so objects that are behind other objects cant be seen through the on in front?
maiden tangle
Yes I've seen that done but it sounds like your issue is with layer sorting not the sprite itself
to use a sprite with a plane you would have to mess with the materials
hidden laurel
just placing a sprite in the air does the same thing (love your spacecraft btw!=
maiden tangle
Yea I'm sure I've seen a tutorial on that, like a material shader that uses sprites..?
hidden laurel
there is sprites/diffuse but it has the same issue
maiden tangle
hm someone in #archived-art-asset-showcase might have the answer 🤔

Is there a way to create some arbitrary plane from 2 vectors and find an intersection of that plaen and another 3rd vector?
This plane would have to be determine dynamically on the fly during run time
digital mortar
https://youtu.be/Uh4ZTlK9xls i didn't make this but i just thought it looked cool
glacial vector
@eager mist ... no it's not that easy. It depends on the style you're going for as well. There are tons of tutorials on youtube about this, I would recommend looking at that first
glacial elm
@eager mist look into sculpting using either Blender, Zbrush, or Maya. Personally I would say you should learn Zbrush since its industry standard. But it's not the easiest to get used to. It's very unorthodox. So What ever works for you really

my animation works fine in blender but is all warped in unity
any fix?
the legs bend in the wrong direction, the cycle doesn't loop correctly, the forward and backward strides are different

sweet copper
Is there a way to make a Material "3d" in Unity ? Such as this.
If so how can i ? I downloaded a folder with 7 files for 1 material but i can't get it to have the same result as above
But when i mix them into a "basic" material in Unity i get this
glacial vector
That's called displacement, which needs tesselation to work. It's pretty expensive. An alternative is using parallax occlusion mapping, which creates an illusion of depth, but doesn't push the geomety out like that
sweet copper
Is that linked with the "xxxxx_ambienOcclusion" i have ?
glacial vector
No. When you have a material with depth, you would use the height map for that
glacial vector
No, this is not possible with the default shader. There might be some shaders in the asset store for this
sweet copper
i'll search for that, thanks 😃
steep radish
@glacial vector yeah I'm gonna script it tomorrow

With dealing with weapons, multiple weapons with arms, is it best to have each weapon have their seperate arm and animations? And then when switiching weapons change the mesh out?
Or would I have one arm model, and guns, but in blender animate the guns with the arms seperately but on export only export the gun as seperate and arms but when playing they'd match up?

steep radish
does anybody know why when i import things into unity, the shadows become extremely darkened?
tidal cairn
@steep radish got a screenshot?
my guess would be you havent baked lighting yet
but I dont wanna just guess
steep radish
Ive added terrain tool and some terrain textures
and soft shadows are on
@tidal cairn
tidal cairn
my guess is you havent baked any lighting
so you're not getting the right ambient from the skybox
the shadows will get a lighter blue hue from the skybox when baking is done
if you dont want to wait you can do what I do....
you can just disable all the gameobjects while baking and then turn them back on
steep radish
Where do you find auto generate lighting
tidal cairn
this will cook the ambient n shit without waiting for ambient occlusion/rays to actually bounce
Window >Lighting
althought it might have moved
I think its now Window > rendering > lighting
steep radish
Thanks
Its just its never looked like this before. Shadows were always there and didnt need baking
Maybe its because of the normals?
maiden tangle
you can change shadow intensity

@heady meadow I'm working on a huion 191 gt, no complaints beyond needing a pen charger replacement (super fragile, at least in my model)

Is it still true that you can't create 3D text in Unity? Could I use TextMesh Pro and then use ProBuilder on that to extrude text?

You can't do that because TMP text are just quads rendered with a cutout shader, not real geometric glyphs

@maiden tangle although im looking for newer one - the V2. I have borrowerd this old one and colors are shitty. And people talk about terrible ghosting

Microsoft 3D Paint to the rescue then. First time it'll have ever been useful.

I have an orthographic isometric camera in my scene that i want to be able to pan around the scene using touch or mouse.

Should i call this "Grocery Store" instead of supermarket?
junior stone
If I want to assemble a 3d scene, should I do environment modelling in 3dsmax and export the base mesh, then add the interactable props and and go from there. or add all smaller parts into unity and create my environment in there?
maiden tangle
I know people use probuilder in unity to rough out level design, I guess it depends on your situations requirements for things like gameplay or detail.. Unity is definitely more suited for importing external assets imo, to each their own
@dense blaze grocery is probably more universal, but if you want to go further call it like Super Foods lol
junior stone
@maiden tangle im gonna mix a bit of both, depending on what I need for a specific model. I will need to test both approaches and see wht works besst

My first attempt with Blender was 2.78 but after a week I stopped with Blender because I could't remember all this shortcuts and the UI was a mess. With 2.8 and the new UI it was easy for me to start with Blender.
young spire
2.8 seriously is godsend
As a blender user since like 2015, it's the best update ever
young spire
It's so pretty and functional
young spire
You want REAL bad ui, go look at blender 2.4
gritty reef
I actually went with a student license for 3ds max after trying Blender and the UI was just god awful
junior stone
I ve been doing 3dsmax, UI been the same since 2010 or smt
gritty reef
Recently switched to Blender since my student license is coming to an end
junior stone
nothing changes
gritty reef
3ds has their shit down, it's a solid interface that works, no reason to overhaul it
young spire
While that's nice because you never lose anything, Max is also garbage er inferior uhm less flexible than blender
junior stone
for sure, and lets not forget the most important part
FUCKING EXPENSIVE
the only reason I use it is becuz mt workplace pays the license
gritty reef
I used it because I could get it on student license for free (despite not studying in design, so that was cool)
No way would I ever pay the price they demand for it
junior stone
i honestly dont know how they stay in bussiness with that price
gritty reef
Professional studios who will pay out the nose just to say they paid for industry standard software
same way Adobe stays in business

but adobe has actually a reasonable price for creative cloud
again, I dont need to pay for it myself, but 15/month isnt that bad

is there a snap to surface for meshes dragged into the scene?
its annoying having to drag em in and fix em all the time
willow nebula
Only if the mesh has a collider
A kind of workaround is drag in scene, hold shift and start to use move for a free move, then release shift and hold V to snap on vertices
junior stone
that ll have to do. I could also probabvly add a meshcollider when I add them to the scene?
willow nebula
yes, but don't forget to remove it if you don't have a use for it

What is the best way to set up clothing if you want to continuously keep adding new stuff ?
rapid echo
I think you are referring to character customization. @old snow
You can have a base cloth shirt pants as separate meshes and swap with different presets of cloths which have other stuff already over it.
or another way would be place each new item asset to see how it fits properly over the cloth parts before, define places that can have items and add them when needed.
Depending on character design and his base you will need to have customized 3d model items. Just some ideas.

@ionic shore i don't know of any version control systems or tools that allow for merging image/texture files or any other binary file for that matter.
ionic shore
Hmm, guess I'll just have to make do with whatever I have for now then
azure ether
your only option may be to split up that giant texture atlas into separate parts. as many as needed that you are confident only one artist would ever need to work on one file at a time. and either split up the meshes / UV maps to accept multiple textures, OR add some automation in your asset import / management process to merge those separate files into the large texture atlas required to render the model(s.)
@ionic shore AssetGraph may be helpful in managing that process https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.assetgraph@1.6/manual/index.html

Thankfully now with Blender you can do both 3D sculpting, if required, and polygonal modeling.
Your 3D model will look bad if, to begin with, you don't have a decent concept to work from.
So if you aren't particularly good at 2D design, you might want to get help from a volunteer or pay someone to make you some character designs

@limpid abyss If you look up how they actually did the fake 3d effect in diablo 2, it is pretty amazing
gritty reef
I didn't realize it was 2d. I assumed it was just early 3d
fluid oak
It used 3d rendering(textured polygons) but not a 3d world
gritty reef
That's so cool
fluid oak
It was 2d the way unity 2d games are- flat sprites rendered to quads facing the camera
It's pretty unique, I think
limpid abyss
yeah it's full 2D, I've actually reconstructed part of the original game using the original assets, and now I'm looking into if it's worth it to switch to 3D or if that's gonna break the gameplay somehow
2D works very well for that kind of game, but converting the 3D models to sprites is really a pain
fluid oak
Well, they did it because the game had to work equally well without 3d mode
Only like, a tenth of the audience had 3d cards that could do the 3d mode at the time? Maybe less.
limpid abyss
there is no 3D mode in diablo 2
there is the perspective mode, but everything in that game is only playable in 2D
fluid oak
Read up above- perspective mode is still entirely 2d, but rendered using 3d hardware. That's why you needed a 3d card to activate that mode.
limpid abyss
ah my mistake, I miss read you

very cool, I think the hands are a little long though (maybe it's just perspective? mid one)

Why does my character keep falling down?
The pole sticking out the front is just so I can see which way is forward; it hasn't any colliders or rigid bodies on it.
The only script is to move the chatacter:
[RequireComponent(typeof(CharacterController))]
public class Character : MonoBehaviour
{
private CharacterController _characterController;
public Vector3 _gravity = Physics.gravity;
public float _speed = 5;
private void Start()
{
_characterController = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
}
private void Update()
{
var move = new Vector3(GetAxis("Horizontal"), _gravity.y * deltaTime, GetAxis("Vertical"));
_characterController.Move(deltaTime * _speed * move);
if (move != Vector3.zero) transform.forward = move;
}
}
I added the box on the base because I thought it might have bee the curved base of the character controller.

First of all.
Your CharacterController is already a collider 🙂
You also have a CapsuleCollider

GOT IT! I'm not affecting rotation directly, but I am setting the forward property on the transform to the move vector which has 0 for the y-axis.

Changing the transform.forward = move to transform.forward = move + transform.forward solves the problem.

Well, you can extrude any 2D image into 3D with the right tools, actually
You'd still need to do adjustments to make it look nice though and not blocky later though
neon wedge
@digital frigate Not as simple as pasting and clicking extrude then?

That's how extrude works. If you want your cog to simply pop out, extrude is the way to go. But afaik cogs are tad curvy at the edges

@digital frigate That's all I'm looking for. Does it need to be done in another bit of software or is there a nice extrude button in Unity?

Never looked for it in unity. If there's none, pretty sure you can do it in blender or any other decent 3d software

Fusion it is then! Thanks @digital frigate, that saved me several hours of faffing about.
fluid oak
@digital frigate what sort of animation, more specifically?
digital frigate
I'm making a 2.5D mobile game; graphics are in 2D, but I'd love to give the illusion of 3D using layers and pre-rendered sprites. Since I use 2D LWRP renderer, there's practically no way to make cloth physics; it would be too expensive anyway, so I'm thinking for doodads such as flags in the wind, it's better to get looping pre-rendered sprites to achieve the cloth effect, if possible within my budget and timeframe. Please do tell me if such effect is not ideal, though, as I'm still not 100% on board with this plan.
fluid oak
@digital frigate a lot depends on the style you're going for. Do you have any examples?
You can definitely do some cloth-like 2d animation in unity with skinned sprites, but that is pretty limiting when it comes to perspective so a lot depends on the specific look you're going for.
wary eagle
Low Poly Modern Soldier Pending review!
digital frigate
@fluid oak yeah. Do you know monument valley? I'd imagine that it'll be similar to the doodads within that game...
neon wedge
@digital frigate Does the 2D shader let you do flag effect type stuff?
fluid oak
If you mean like the flags in this scene https://youtu.be/Yy2bXqs0x3o?t=219
Then there are a lot of easier ways than prerendered
Using an actual 3d object would be easiest, but a skinned sprite could handle that quite easily too.
glacial vector
yeah, you could animate it in your 3D app and just run it as a looping animation, but you could also animate the vertices in the shader
fluid oak
Or just a UV based 2d distortion, yeah
glacial vector
It would need to be 3D in monument valley and not prerendered, because the perspective changes
fluid oak
I believe they said(and correct me if I'm wrong, @digital frigate) that that was just an art style reference
But yeah, this was done 100% in unity with a mix of 2d and 3d https://i.imgur.com/llQbtsf.mp4
The wheels and chain were 3d meshes made by script, with UV animation, and the rest is 2d skinned sprites.
digital frigate
Heh. Thanks for the input, guys. It's 3am at my place and can't really focus
That's pretty cool
Heard that ori and the blind forest was also made that way
Yeah afaik monument valley uses 3D models for everything
fluid oak
This one on the other hand is 100% 2d animation, but stuck on a 2d quad in a 3d scene in lwrp https://i.imgur.com/pMMiqCp.mp4
So for such simple movement that is entirely possible.
A rippling flag could probably be done a million ways, really, so it all comes down to what is easiest for you.
digital frigate
Yeah. I saw some 3D rendered into 2D animation earlier today. It had motion blur, and looked extremely wonderful, which is why I'm going to try the pre-render path. I think it'll be really hard to manually draw blur, or to do it with shaders.

using a human armature rig
disregard my question, i figured it out
its a drop down
i dont use blender anymore but thats my guess
yeah silly me was looking for 'display' but it was called 'viewport display'

Hey, this seems to be a dumb question, but I'm trying out probuilder and for some reason "Set Pivot" doesn't seem to work, either because I'm using it wrong or I don't understand it's functionality
When I choose a vertex or edge or face in the appropriate mode and click on "set pivot", the object pivot doesn't appear to change
What am I doing wrong?

OK, nvm, it does work, I just didn't get, that the visual transform pivot thing is not the same as the actual pivot

You can change transform gizmo placement by pressing Z

Ah ok, thanks

@eager mist I think it's to late to answer but you need to put your bones/skeleton in X-ray mode to see it through your model. To do it I think you need to first select your armature then go to the armature property (in the properties panel) then go to "viewport display" and check "in front" or something like that

best way to create clothes for a 3D character?
I've been trying to make clothes for my character for a while but I've been having trouble with clipping (skin clips through clothes)
atm I just duplicate the parts of the mesh that would be covered by a shirt, duplicate and separate it and then change some stuff to make it look more like clothing
Weight painting it is too time consuming and can lead to even more problems

mask the parts that are fully covered by clothing

Hello!! It's possible to use the turbosmooth from 3dsmax to unity? Thanks!
heady meadow
@zealous glacier well, you just export fbx with applied turbosmooth.
Normally you'd want to retopo the turbosmoothed model and bake the highpoly maps into lowpoly model.

anyone in here know how to make a cone where i can apply the unity projector material onto from above? currently made a simple cone in blender, but the material doesnt get displayed properly on in it. does work on the standard unity 3d objects.

Does anyone have a good idea how to make a Character Creator for a Player Character
edgy totem
basically I used brackey's beginner tutorial, and I finished it but switched to HDRP after. Transferring all my assets to the new HDRP Project from the old one, it completely messed it up. The player is supposed to slide on the floor, but it goes through. Any help? https://prnt.sc/rcb26f
Does transferring assets to a 3d template project to a hdrp one break the physics?

im following this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QajrabyTJc
but it assumes i know how to set up the platforms
how do i do that?

Add a cube, stretch it to the size you want? Or find tutorials that aren't Brackeys >.>
eager mist
Why use cubes instead of planes?
knotty yarrow
he also uses a package manager for building objects

is brackeys like frowned upon or smthn

what references are you using?
I like the mallet/chisel
you would normally have some kind of support for the legs on the bottom left one if they're so spread out

@sonic oyster in the other channel we get so many people who can't get one specific tutorial of his to work, because it uses other scripts he didn't mention in the video.
So I just get a bit annoyed about that >.>

can someone teach me moddeling? i tried making a 3D simplistic character model but i just don't have any idea where to start, how to do different things and so on...

there are lots of blender basics tutorials on youtube

how is this practice?

Better than I can do
But I'd definitely smooth out those thighs, avoid the 'frontbutt' look 😄

Hello everyone! I'm currently working on an FPS game. I imported a character model from the AssetStore to experiment with it (screenshot). The character has a weapon called "AssaultRifle".
I noticed that for some reason it is impossible to rotate this weapon in any way - neither through a script nor in the Scene tab. This is a problem because it makes it impossible to let the weapon follow the cameras x-rotation which is essential for an FPS game in my opinion.
My question: Is there some sort of setting which prevents any rotation of an object which might be enabled for this prefab? Or is there any other reason why I can't rotate the weapon? Rotating the whole prefab works in any direction.
Feel free to @ping me when replying. 🙂
pallid fractal
probably the rigidbody?
eager mist
This drives me crazy. I just noticed that I can't move this and all other objects in the scene for some reason at all.
Oh, I removed the rigidbody and it still remains the same, rogue_code.
pallid fractal
oh 😦
eager mist
moving any object in the scene just changes the Position value of the Transform tab, but its actual position remains the same.
pallid fractal
never encountered that
pallid fractal
oh, it's because it's skinned, I think
eager mist
Does it affect it somehow?
pallid fractal
yeah, the bones override your local transform
eager mist
oh
damn it
okay thanks. I guess there must be a way to move/rotate bones then, right?
eager mist
I don't have any bones in there.
pallid fractal
it's everything under and including "Hips"
that's the armature
each transform is a bone
eager mist
Ah okay!
Thanks. So there must be some sort of reference to the weapon under the "hips" tab?
pallid fractal
I think it's those arm position ones

🤦♀️ omg, sry for the stupid question and tysm!!
pallid fractal
not stupid at all

this made me go crazy for days now 😅

what's the name of the asset @eager mist ?
