I'd usually like to model my own character but I don't know how to do so, yet and on Unity Learn I read that modelling is one of the things you should do at last. However, I needed some sort of character to start with. 🙂

can I ask questions here?

flint jungle Mar 8, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

Yes you can

maiden tangle Mar 8, 2020, 3:58 AM

#

the handle could be a bit more ergonomic and less blocky/sharp? But I'm not sure the style you're going for specifically realistic vs lowpoly etc @fresh juniper

#

and the trigger guard (loop around the trigger) is almost never the same thickness as the gun itself, so that might help trimming that down

subtle ridge Mar 8, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

@fresh juniper in pistols when the gun slide goes backward after the shoot it show the barrel, always I think that the barrel of a pistol is a cilinder, is there a pistol that have a cube shaped barrel? just curiosity, I want to know

wary eagle Mar 8, 2020, 10:26 AM

#

Barrel go up after slide going back too.

#

Because he is unlocked at the level of the chamber, then he drop like 0.5 cm down, to help loading the next bullet.

#

#

The pins (1) keep it in place during the fire time, then when sot fired, the piece (A) rotate (to the right in the image) so the barrel go down and almost align with next round

📎 unknown.png

#

It's a side view of a M1911, but almost all works in the same way!

subtle ridge Mar 8, 2020, 10:31 AM

#

yep, and as you can see the external shape is a cilinder

#

I have seen some revolver photos that the barrel have a shape like a cube

#

usually have a great caliber and need a great walls on barrel to support th pressure

#

as I can see the pistols cant manage those calibers, but maybe in the future, will be possible

#

sorry I'm writting very bad, I need to sleep a little xd

subtle ridge Mar 8, 2020, 10:52 AM

#

maybe the desert eagle? seem like the barrel is part of a solid block and the slider dont reach the top of the gun, just have two rails to guide the movement
I can't find info if the barrel can be removed, or all this solid cube-shape block is the barrel

#

Well, if you download the standard shader you can just add in the vertex color lines. I know that is possible because that's the first answer anyone gives when the subject comes up.

Probuilder is creating a cube (apparently) all by itself.
https://youtu.be/MhVi_ro8lO8
There's only a single script in the project:

using Cinemachine;
using UnityEngine;

[RequireComponent(typeof(CinemachineVirtualCamera))]
public class DollyManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    [Range(-0.02f, 0.02f)] public float _velocity;
    private CinemachineVirtualCamera _virtualCamera;

    private void Start()
    {
        _virtualCamera = GetComponent<CinemachineVirtualCamera>();
    }
    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        var dollyBody = _virtualCamera.GetCinemachineComponent<CinemachineTrackedDolly>();
        var position = dollyBody.m_PathPosition;
        position = Mathf.Clamp01(position + _velocity);
        dollyBody.m_PathPosition = position;
    }
}

I can't think of anything that would make a Probuilder create or alter any cube but here is it.
Any suggestions as to what it might be?

There's only one script in the entire project and all it does it get the dolly of the camera and adjust it's path position, but when I run the project a new Probuilder cube is created.

Seriously, though, you need to be more specific.

#

Do you want to duplicate a particular nintendo system, their character style, or what?

eager mist Mar 10, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

if i have models and textures and send to unity, it wont look like the same models and textures from a typical super mario game or super mario party game

#

even if i use simple textures like in super mario

fluid oak Mar 10, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

Okay, so that's actually a somewhat complicated question.

#

Ninendo, from what I've seen, makes a lot of use of lighting, and vertex coloring/animation.

#

So that seems to contribute a lot to the look.

#

I haven't played a lot of nintendo games, admittedly; the only 'modern' ones I'm fully familiar with are breath of the wild and the luigi's mansion game that just came out

#

And those both have very different looks 😄

i obviously mean graphics like in luiguis mansion and not the zelda shit

fluid oak Mar 10, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

I'd say it isn't obvious to OTHER people 😛

#

My suggestion is to take scenes from the games you like and try to break down what you see into specific elements you can replicate.

#

For instance, the shaders on the characters in Mansion are pretty distinctive.

When an object is "UV-ed", is it correct to have one UV for the object or does each face have a UV?
I'm trying to get my head around the terminology.

maiden tangle Mar 11, 2020, 9:41 AM

#

A UV map will have multiple faces generally speaking mapped to 2d, but "seams" are the folding areas where your model is unwrapped so that plays an important part, youtube is a really helpful source for explaining the specifics I find

📎 0dea2f49418b9325babb8f07203034d22b4e9b4d.jpeg

#

(seams in red, not my model)

#

so like here for example you section off your model where the seams are not easily visible if at all like the corners

#

and then he selects them to fit as much of the 2D version, inside the editor as the texture resolution will allow as to give the best quality.

junior stone Mar 11, 2020, 9:50 AM

#

I wanna add that UV space of 0 to 1 is used by default for most people but you can ignore that and just make a tiled texture by going over it

I don't think I understand fbx files. Are they supposed to have models inside?

#

Or just anims

#

I imported a bunch of fbx files from Mixamo and they don't show anything when I drop them into scenes

#

Am I supposed to drag them inside other models or something?

junior stone Mar 11, 2020, 11:56 AM

there is a setting in mixamo to export model or not, check if you didnt accidentally do that @past tapir

#

also, one channel at a time is enough 😄

#

not quite sure where it is, I cnat check at work either

glacial vector Mar 11, 2020, 12:02 PM

#

@past tapir An fbx can have just a model, just animations, or both. Mixamo supports all of those

#

If you select an fbx without a model you can drag a model into the inspector preview

past tapir Mar 11, 2020, 12:03 PM

#

Ok downloading the fbx with a "skin" seems to work

#

Is downloading the animation alone so you can just put several animations into a prefab you have ready?

glacial vector Mar 11, 2020, 12:05 PM

#

it's easier to organize when you have your model and your animations separately

junior stone Mar 11, 2020, 12:05 PM

#

that way you can apply the animation, but have less filesize since the model would be the same either way

glacial vector Mar 11, 2020, 12:05 PM

#

It also means you don't have to reimport the model each time you add/change an animation

junior stone Mar 11, 2020, 12:06 PM

#

that too

past tapir Mar 11, 2020, 12:07 PM

You can drag the animation clips into your animator

past tapir Mar 11, 2020, 12:08 PM

junior stone Mar 11, 2020, 12:13 PM

they should be in the file, if you click the fbx file in project view you can probably see the animation lcips in there if they are imported in the fb import settings

How do I select an area of faces on a Probuilder object?
I've tried various combinations of mouse buttons and shift and control key presses without getting anything better than selecting faces one by one.
If I change the select more to "through" then I can select, but then it selects the faces on the other side, which isn't what I want.

📎 DragSelectProbuilderFaces.webm

#

Actually, when I change the drag select mode to Complete things behave as expected. When it's Intersect, it doesn't.

So i built my first textures and made uv maps for my spaceship etc. Now the thing is, the ship is rather big (30m iirc) and i want good textures also in astronaut mode. For that i use seamless textures, that look very nice up close. But the ship from afar looks bad bc you can see the reapeating pattern. How is that solved ?

@frozen cradle Use a different texture with a lower res at distance, so you can't see the pattern + you don't run useless high res textures.

The thing is that equipment like that usually has an 'up' and a 'down' so mirroring it makes it look fake

Because it means that there is no up or down to it

instead of mirroring he might wanna extend the cables procedurally or smt?

And if you need to stack them add some sort of frame or connectors

Does anyone know how to fix it? Tried a few things but nothing helped

Is 2sided not a standart setting you can choose for materials in Unity?

#

I moved from UE4 to Unity, trying to figure out how I should best start with opacity maps using an alpha texture

glacial vector Mar 17, 2020, 7:21 PM

With the old pipeline this is true @cerulean temple. But with the new render pipelines you have an option for this

The idea was these things can be disabled, they're not directly meant as barriers more like parts scavenged to make something functional that happens to provide cover. So I can see why it might look strange even as a concept to have mechanical bits sticking out.
Anyway this was directly inspired (shape at least) by this, which I thought too boring for this far into the future and wanted to spice it up a bit with some armor panels.
But in the end I agree the mirrored one would not have worked, the smaller one might be needing a second iteration to find the right concept thanks for the input!

📎 road_concrete_barrier_step_barrier_3d_model_c4d_max_obj_fbx_ma_lwo_3ds_3dm_stl_1453658_o.png

#

But as for functionality I'm still curious what you guys think of the movability of these modified barriers, they would be somewhat heavily scattered along the map in question

#

player placement is everything so I really want to emphasize their importance

#

originally the caps on the bottom would act as jets? lift up and hover to another spot

#

which if the exposed electronic bits were destroyed, would leave it static and unusable essentially.. which seems too easy but, if you think in terms of what you might need yourself as cover the players will be focused on only doing damage if necessary. At least that's what the plan was lol

Hey you! Yes. Right YOU!
This "*😴 *" is sleepy. He needs your help with a problem he has when exporting and importing his first object ever from blender into unity. YOU BETTER help him, otherwise he will be stuck with that problem and never see 🌞 -light again.

The problem is that he made this nice little car in blender 2.82 and colored it with all its parts. He exported it from blender as .obj and also as a .fbx but whenever he imports the car into unity it just shows "defaultMat" as a material used in the new asset. The color doesnt appear and everything is white. Moreover the wheels seem to be destroyed somehow.

However. If you help 😴 he might be able to see 🌞 🔦 atleast one more time in his life. 👍 👍 👍

Hi everyone!

clarification: it's not an online game, it's a software for those childrens who need it

cyan otter Mar 19, 2020, 7:10 AM

#

@main snow Yes it will twist the entire cube, then you need to subdivide along the cube's length

#

and then create another piece with the same ending point so they are seemless

main snow Mar 19, 2020, 7:11 AM

#

Ohh

#

All this in blender

cyan otter Mar 19, 2020, 7:11 AM

#

as long as the object's center is along the same y and z values are the same you can line them up with coordinates really easily in unity

#

yeah

main snow Mar 19, 2020, 7:12 AM

#

Yes that's good

cyan otter Mar 19, 2020, 7:12 AM

#

it might be x and z or whatever but whatever coordinates are along the width and height of the cube

#

then your length doesn't matter because each peice will be it's own length

#

and I'd use lengths that are all divisible by the same number just so it's easy to put together in unity

main snow Mar 19, 2020, 7:14 AM

#

Length will be same

#

is there a way in blender to merge by distance on all selected objects?

gritty reef Mar 19, 2020, 3:21 PM

📎 ephyrdevice_front.png

#

Ephyr control device to be secured to the neck of the controller. Based loosely on the lore for @junior stone's game project.

📎 ephyrdevice_back.png

#

My scale might be a little wonky since I freehanded it. The idea was that the capacitor (little tank thing), is about five inches tall.

#

And it rests at the base of the wearer's neck while the top plate attaches directly to the skull and the bottom plate attaches to the spine to secure the whole device in place.

#

It would be insanely painful to attach and limits mobility considerably, but it's medieval dwarf technology, so what can you hope for.

#

If I were to redo it, I would probably put bigger, more defined hinges and gaps between plates and add a chain link style connector between the segments rather than a basic hinge.

junior stone Mar 19, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

it makes me think about parts of an exoskeleton

#

@gritty reef

#

rly like the concept, the valve in the back could be a replaceable cartridge for ephyr energy

gritty reef Mar 19, 2020, 3:54 PM

#

I figured you'd want it to be somewhat permanent, but also allow for resource management. So you don't want to overspend your ephyr so you don't deplete your device and lose access to the magic

#

So a little ephyr tank/capacitor that can be overloaded from too much use or depleted would give that limiting effect

cerulean temple Mar 19, 2020, 11:45 PM

Palmtrees are pretty easy to make so i'd do those manually, make one and then just modify that one slightly, move leaves around and twist the tree itself another way and so on

#

And then rotate them around for your final render for some extra variance

@arctic nymph That's honestly way too open ended for anyone to give valid advice. "Good looking" is subjective, and "functional" really depends on the type of game you're making.
@eager mist For SceneManager specifically, make sure you're using the actual library at the top of the script Using UnityEngine.SceneManagement, I think. But, if this goes for every other prompt, I think the only help I could offer is to restart the program.

Hmph... Trying to diagnose why my old Blender model suddenly doesn't want to animate. The actions look fine in Blender, and it seems to still have all of its animation loops in Unity, but none of them actually do anything.

#

And I don't really know Blender so I don't know where to go from there

#

I understand that this isn't Blender Discord, but idk, maybe there are some general things to try

real cedar Mar 22, 2020, 11:43 PM

#

Update: Now they all do something, but it's only the currently opened action in Blender 😐
Not sure how to make separate animations any more. Seems like there is another step after making actions now?

nova panther Mar 23, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

i do not know if anyone can help me fix this problem but in my game i have a slide and if you slide under something and stand up in the middle it crashes i was wondering if anyone would know how to fix.

real cedar Mar 23, 2020, 1:07 AM

#

That sounds like something for a different channel... Also, might want to post the error that's being thrown for a starting point.

#

In any case, it looks like Unity does Blender animation imports in a weird way. I basically just have to manually export as FBX for Unity to understand what's going on

#

Apparently Unity's only reading the animations off the .blend if they're in the first NLA strip

#

If there aren't any NLA strips or the actions are in separate ones it seems to be ignoring them. Needs further testing; I might just be an idiot and have to create dedicated NLA tracks for each animation lol

What's a good way to get a basic animated 3d model of a human that's not stylized or themed for a specific genre?

#

Can't really find something in the asset store.

oh probably daz3d would be a good start

Is there a way to scale down an image that I'm using for a background to an exact measurement? I'm trying to make a shotgun model and have a good reference but at the moment it's about 9m across

Hey guys! I need some help.
Trying to use Maya's Game Exporter to export multiple animation clips.
Everything seems to be working in one way or another, but not optimally.

Case 1:
If I export all animations to a single .fbx-file, all animations are working, but are not set to have loop-time checked and I don't have access to the animation import settings for some reason.

Case 2:
If I export all animations to multiple .fbx-files, all animations are working, I have access to the animation import settings, but every file contains the whole timeline (animation is not trimmed) which means it will take a lot extra space.

I mean... wtf...
Does anyone have any experience with this?

eager mist Mar 23, 2020, 2:40 PM

hmmm, question guys, I'm using the textures from the MegaCity download but they only seem to be 2k, is it possible to increase it's resolution to 8k somehow? can artists do this easily and if so, is there a ballpark figure on how much it would generally cost?

willow nebula Mar 23, 2020, 3:15 PM

#

If the source texture is 2K, there is not much you can do about it.

eager mist Mar 23, 2020, 3:15 PM

You can fine some tool to do AI based upscaling, but it will never match originally based texture that were made on 8K

Nvidia had a free online tool for that, I'm trying to find the page again ...

eager mist Mar 23, 2020, 3:20 PM

#

im planning to use 8k substance materials in my project, but the MegaCity stuff was 2k and it's actually really good looking, so I needed to find a way of matching the quality as close as possible, because it's unlikely people will be getting a super close-up look of it, upscaling may be good enough

I'm triny to make a 2D style game in a 3D enviroment, can somebody tell me how apply a sprite texture to a plane?

eager mist Mar 23, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

just add a component called Sprite Renderer

#

then create a new material, use your sprite texture as the base map

pine trellis Mar 23, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

since the plane is 3D it go in conflit with mesh renderer

#

should I delete that?

eager mist Mar 23, 2020, 4:43 PM

#

then drag-and-drop the material into the material slot on the Sprite Renderer (yeah delete the mesh renderer)

pine trellis Mar 23, 2020, 4:44 PM

#

its invisible

eager mist Mar 23, 2020, 4:45 PM

#

try ticking the "double sided" box on the material

pine trellis Mar 23, 2020, 4:45 PM

#

what kind of material should I create?

#

im working in URP

eager mist Mar 23, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

just use a standard shader

#

I used the Lit shader, but I think you can also use Unlit to make them as dark as the source image

pine trellis Mar 23, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

nothing

#

should the sprite texture be marked as "sprite (2d and ui)" right?

eager mist Mar 23, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

yeah

#

does it have any transparency on the texture?

pine trellis Mar 23, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

yes

eager mist Mar 23, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

make sure "alpha is transparency" is checked on the texture, and "transparency" is checked on the material also

#

erm Alpha Clipping I mean, not transparency (on the material)

pine trellis Mar 23, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

📎 aa.PNG

#

📎 bb.PNG

#

alpha clipping just enabled

#

still nothing

eager mist Mar 23, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

try setting the surface type as standard

#

the transparency is in the texture, not on the material

#

a transparent surface type is like glass in 3D

pine trellis Mar 23, 2020, 4:54 PM

#

try setting the surface type as standard
@eager mist so opaque

eager mist Mar 23, 2020, 4:54 PM

#

yeah

pine trellis Mar 23, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

still nothing

eager mist Mar 23, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

hmmm

#

I can try checking my other project, see how I did it

#

one minute

pine trellis Mar 23, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

thanks a lot

eager mist Mar 23, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

it's got to update the engine version so i'm waiting on that, in the meantime, I havent tried the URP but i'm guessing a lot of the settings are similar, just in different places

#

like the Workflow Mode, never used that in HDRP lol

#

can you screenshot the texture inspector also?

pine trellis Mar 23, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

sure

eager mist Mar 23, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

yeah your going to need Alpha Clipping on too I think

pine trellis Mar 23, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

its just a tiny gun, black on alpha

eager mist Mar 23, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

actually, try this: just find the gun in your project, then drag-and-drop it into the scene, see if that shows up

pine trellis Mar 23, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

so i should drag directly the sprite?

eager mist Mar 23, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

yeah, try it

pine trellis Mar 23, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

yup it shouws up

eager mist Mar 23, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

aha!, well, there you are 🙂

#

you shouldn't need a material to use a sprite, so yeah drag-and-drop them

pine trellis Mar 23, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

problem is I cant change pivot If i justy do like that

eager mist Mar 23, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

ahh ok, hmm, my project is taking ages to update so I can't check how I set up my sprites...damn

#

ok, see if you can get me that texture inspector screenshot, in the meantime, try posting on Unity Answers, someone may spot something on those screenshots I havent

pine trellis Mar 23, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

so u mean just "open" the file in the texture section?

eager mist Mar 23, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

just click it in your project and screenshot the inspector

pine trellis Mar 23, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

📎 cc.PNG

eager mist Mar 23, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

ahh!

#

try setting your mesh type to Full Rect

pine trellis Mar 23, 2020, 5:13 PM

#

nothing

#

guess ill just drag the sprite and use an empity object to controll them movement

eager mist Mar 23, 2020, 5:14 PM

#

thats probably best unless someone spots something I havent, I know the mesh needs to be Full Rect, Alpha is Trancparency needs to be checked and Alpha Clipping needs to be on, but you have all that done so i'm not sure why it's not working tbh 😦

#

hmmm, try the other wrap modes?

#

I remember sprites being annoying to set up properly if they have transparency, took me ages to get a template down

Hi guys, does anyone has a solution for exporting FBX from Blender to Unity? For some reason, no matter which settings i put in Blender FBX export (Forward and up axis), my object always end up with a -90 x rotation for some reason?

I didn't say bad I just said it's easily spotted.. it's subjective, but in my opinion you could say it's bad when compared to others sure.. not bashing unity, just saying it's widely known unity's lighting by default is a bit off

alright

maiden tangle Mar 24, 2020, 7:12 PM

maiden tangle Mar 24, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

start with getting into pbr shaders and you will quickly see what works and what won't, you could be dealing with wrapped lighting / cel shading rim lighting directional rim lighting all those modern mario games are basically sitting on shaders, the lighting comes after

#

the thing with toony colors pro, it comes with a generator

#

you can create your own shader with the specifications

#

it's not rocket science what they're doing, it's just customized to where there is no "use x shader specifically"

maiden tangle Mar 24, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

these are simply examples of various techniques, how you mix match and modify them is up to your shader writing ability, or in the case of generating them having $40 for tcp2

#

as I said they didn't use a "standard" shader they have a custom one so, it's up to your own experimentation. Though I'm sure there are people out there if you search that have come close to the same as specific games you're interested in

toony pbr is a fairly popular way of doing it.

#

but im not familiar with how, but I know you can extract materials from FBX files using it

Okay thank you for the help

This is the first 3d model I made so I don’t know much about it

dont worry, youll get the hang of it

practice - practice - practice 🙂

#

it confused me a LOT when I first started Unity, but it's only been 2 months and i'm already a lot more competant

Thank you that’s helpful to know

good luck!

@supple stream if you want to "paint" you 3d model, you need to either create a texture, aka an image that matches the UV map of the model or you take an existing texture and change the uv map.
The uv map is a "virtual map" that tells the model how a square texture is painted on the non-square model

eager mist Mar 25, 2020, 8:59 AM

#

i think he's trying to extract the material from an asset model he has

frozen cradle Mar 25, 2020, 9:00 AM

#

Yeah if its in the fbx, unity should be able to extract tze image tho

#

So either it doesnt have a texture or hes doing sth wrong :)

eager mist Mar 25, 2020, 9:01 AM

#

I think he may have extracted it somewhere else in his project, because he followed my instructions and it wasnt extracting anything, so he would need to re-import the model fresh then re-extract, or find the original extracted material

nice love the subtle detail, though I am wishing there was a middle prong on the pitchfork lol

fluid oak Mar 25, 2020, 11:09 PM

#

@maiden tangle That isn't a pitchfork, it is a garden fork.

#

Pitchforks are long and skinny, with three tines, used for picking up hay. Garden forks are for digging and pulling up roots.

maiden tangle Mar 25, 2020, 11:16 PM

#

@fluid oak have you googled what the average garden fork looks like? I've yet to see one with such a gap in the middle, just saying.

fluid oak Mar 25, 2020, 11:17 PM

#

The only weird thing about it to me is that most of the ones I've seen have a smooth cap piece

#

Instead of looking like a pipe with side pieces or something

can someone help me with this issue? im using the "Nature/Tree Creator Leaves Fast" shader on these branches and the alpha doesnt work right when its infront of any meshes. it only works against the sky. all other transparent shaders dont have this issue. no idea why

📎 treecreator_fast_leaves.png

eager mist Mar 26, 2020, 8:15 AM

#

@eager mist Not sure about that, although looking at the screenshot it could be the shadows they are casting rather than the leaves themselves?

gritty reef Mar 26, 2020, 12:17 PM

#

@fluid oak @maiden tangle The fork is modeled after an ooooold garden fork we used to move mulch when I worked in Parks & Rec. The middle gap is way larger than it's supposed to be hahah

#

This is the best reference I could find on google. https://cdn.shortpixel.ai/client/q_lossy,ret_img,w_1000/https://acraftymix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/A-Rusty-old-fork.jpg

#

The one I used had rounded, straight prongs, but it had the same welded, blocky look

#

Those tools were done freehand, which is why the shovel head looks goofy lol

Hey everyone. I've been running into some issues importing my models from Blender to Unity. Anyone know why they all look like they have sciatica?

Hey, I am kinda baffled by the free premium access to learning resources. There is a course on 3D development, but the whole thing only uses Maya and does not warn students that without that and few other programs, one cannot progress with the course :)) Since Maya costs about 200 per month, it is not really a free course is it? I wish that Unity course at least comes with a student license or some free version. I am also puzzled why none of the course materials teaches how to integrate unity and Blender which is much more widely accessible and free

glacial vector Mar 26, 2020, 2:53 PM

#

Maya has a free education license @rugged terrace

#

Maya has a way longer history of being an industry standard for games, which is why Maya is the focus of a lot of tutorials. But it's changed a lot lately. On ArtStation Learning there was a course released lately on blender 2.8 for games

gritty reef Mar 26, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

I utilized 3ds Max for about a year on a student license, which is also an Autodesk property. So I assume you can get a license for Maya as well.

rugged terrace Mar 26, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

Yes, but isn't Maya free only for students who are on actual university modules?

#

You can't just claim being a student by studying official Unity course material or can you?

glacial vector Mar 26, 2020, 2:57 PM

#

Nothing stopping you, really

rugged terrace Mar 26, 2020, 2:57 PM

#

to join university?

glacial vector Mar 26, 2020, 2:58 PM

#

If you are concerned about this there is also Maya LT which costs around $150 a year, and comes with all the features you need for games

normal bolt Mar 26, 2020, 2:58 PM

#

@rugged terrace If you know someone with a login to their college email, you can get all sorts of cool stuff for free. That's how I got a bunch of Autodesk to mess with.

Also that Unity official course wants students to use Zbrush and Substance which are also premium SW. Is there any chance to get similar licensing?

normal bolt Mar 26, 2020, 3:21 PM

#

I can't entirely remember for sure, but I believe I got Substance free.

glacial vector Mar 26, 2020, 3:24 PM

#

Substance is $20 a month. For the educational license you need proof that you are a student. ZBrush has no educational license for individuals I believe

rugged terrace Mar 26, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

Nah both are subscription based the only way to get those is to buy or pirate. Are there any open source alternatives?

eager mist Mar 26, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

substance is broken atm, cant use gpu instancing with it, they are working on a fix for it though

glacial vector Mar 26, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

The integration you mean?

eager mist Mar 26, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

ah no, the plugin still works so if you dont need GPU Instancing thats cool

glacial vector Mar 26, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

If you're following a Learn course then there's a trial period on substance @rugged terrace

#

An alternative would be the newest version of Quixel Mixer. But it's not the same

rugged terrace Mar 26, 2020, 3:33 PM

#

what is the main difference between those two?

glacial vector Mar 26, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

Mixer isn't really meant to paint directly on objects. But that's what painter is built for. And Painter is just the industry standard, there's nothing that really compares to it

rugged terrace Mar 26, 2020, 3:35 PM

#

so it is Substance or Painter?

glacial vector Mar 26, 2020, 3:35 PM

#

It's Substance Painter...

rugged terrace Mar 26, 2020, 3:40 PM

#

ehh lol, yes sure, that sucks, but thanks

glacial vector Mar 26, 2020, 3:41 PM

#

Honestly it's well worth the subscription. But you can also buy a perpetual license through steam

rugged terrace Mar 26, 2020, 4:09 PM

#

oh it is on Steam too? Cool

#

But it only accounts for one year worth of updates. But yeah, good to know thanks. Does ZBrush have any open source alternatives?

This got buried in General...

Hi Everyone, I have a prefab I created that references a rigged humanoid mesh. I added a bone to the mesh in blender and I exported the FBX while my game was still running, and somehow I lost all the meshes in the prefab viewport.

On the actual import, its fine, and I can copy the prefab into the scene and it renders fine, but only in my prefab it seems to be broken. Has anyone seen this, or does anyone have time to help troubleshoot?

#

📎 unknown.png

#

Here is a snapshot of the actual imported object:

📎 unknown.png

#

It renders fine in the viewport, all meshes seem okay. It just seems broken on the prefab.

#

Is there some kind of cache I can clear? Or a way to regenerate the meshes in Unity?

eager mist Mar 26, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

I have a question. I'm new to unity and listening to a brackeys tutorial on how to make a Fps, and I keep getting the error "Input axis Mouse x is not setup" I wrote the code in visual studio, and am trying to run it in unity, but the camera won't rotate by the X axis. I probably sound like a complete noob, but what did I do wrong?

@thorn cairn Someone smarter may correct me here, but I was under the impression that 2d games built in unity are technically built in a 3d workspace to produce a 2d game based on the camera position to the canvas.
In short, the dudes in #archived-art-asset-showcase will probably be of more help than us 3d scrubs 🙂
