First select the faces you want to put the material on
Create two materials, one for the default and one for this specific area
Go into edit mode (if you aren't already, tab switches you in and out) and go onto the side bar and hit
now if you change the color in the viewport display it will only change that specific area

@glad cloak is that just for design of character or an actual weapon you will use ?

the topo looks really dense, probably way too much for a small weapon

It has a bevel modifier, besides that the topology should be fine for use in later projects

if you were to use it how would you control it ? rig or physics i guess ?

A few days ago, I think someone on here recommended that I bake high-poly details to a low-poly mesh somehow, for use within Unity. I'm using Blender and have created a blanket model within Blender, and I have put a basic material on the mesh within Blender.
Any ideas on how I go about baking these high poly details, and whether there are any steps involving texturing / UV unwrapping that I need to know? I have unwrapped the mesh, and it appears to be rendering with the material properly in Blender.
I'm using a subsurf modifier for now, on the low-poly mesh, do I need to apply this before unwrapping to bake the detail?
I'm also kinda clueless as to what to do next with the high-poly count of this blanket and how to 'bake the detail' :/

azure coyote
I'm very new to 3D in general, and I'm wondering if it's good practice to use something like Blender to model levels, or stick with Unity's 3D primitives as much as possible
I'm also interested in knowing how "smart" Unity is about colliders on imported meshes. If I imported a model of an open cardboard box, could I simply put a box collider on it, or do I have to manually place collider points around the inside and outside?
zenith cove
@azure coyote depends on the level type, if you're blocking out something that has a flow and is closed (say uncharted level) it would be best to use primitives and stuff like pro builder or similar. Building the levels should always be done in unity though as a rule of thumb, otherwise you place too many restrictions on yourself.
For colliders in depends on the mesh really, if it's something like a cardboard box then sure, a box collider would be enough
but as a simple example, if the box is open ad you need to be able to place stuff inside, that wouldn't be good enough
in general unity tend to be quite a pain with colliders, but there are nice plugins that solve that
azure coyote
Yea I was concerned about placing stuff inside
The main pain I have right now is the lack of primitives like triangles or toruses
Is there a common solution or plugin around this sort of thing that doesn't require the learning curve of blender?

@eager mist there is no built-in visual scripting so there isn't really an answer. .. also kinda the wrong channel

My question was meant to see if the rig works separately from the animations
that's just the mesh

hm
you mean in import settings?
remove the animations
good idea
it's still malformed

I guess that means it's the rig and not the animations?

Hey. I just created a first human character in blender. Now i wanted to have clothes you can find in my game. The player should be able to put them on/off whenever they want. The same should work for different hair cuts or accesories.

I googled about that but didnt really find anything on how to move the clothing without having the body pop through it
Because of this question i have. I dont also dont understand whats the best way to create clothes. If i would create it as an additional object around my existing character, it would probably look weird on all other characters
gritty reef
With skeleton based animation, you can have all of the pieces of clothing share the same animation set as the character. So when a piece of clothing is on the character, it will share the same animation as the character, assuming you set it up correctly.
Hopefully that can refine your search for resources. I don't have any tutorials to link you offhand.
clever condor
Okay. I was just going to ask if theres any tutorials. So i have 1 skeleton that moves 2 "objects" ?
noble turtle
what about wieght painting
like adding extra backpacks in a character without backback you'll also need to add a bone ??
noble turtle
and what about using it in unity do you just make every possible clothing and enable/ disable it via onbuttonpress for a character costumazation
clever condor
i dont understand what you mean with the 2. sentence, cookie.
I just want to have swapable accessories, for example the backpack. But i dont want to make a new character + animation with every combination of different accessories or clothing.
I want to be able to make one character with possibility to just swap the clothes etc.
noble turtle
oh oke
clever condor
See if that helps you out a little
@gritty reef i will
I just thought that i may really need to make a new character + animations for every combination of accessories. But seems like i dont need that ^^
See if that helps you out a little
Does this work with Unity too ?
gritty reef
I don't know the implementation in unity since I haven't really worked with animations. It was just to get your ball rolling in the right direction to figure out what you need.
I know that you can have armor pieces overlaid on a character model following the same skeleton and animations. You can also swap out sections of the mesh with the modeled gear piece that also follow the same skeleton and then you get rid of any possible clipping issues.

Great for animation I suppose, to each their own.
@eager mist increase scale? Splat using noise to break repetitiveness? Or is the material supposed to be better than what its showing in general

Hello awesome people!
I'm working on a low poly model like this one for my game

@green kindle link doesn't appear to be working! π
oh I can see it now that I open it, not appearing on the discord itself tho.
you would use an IK target for the head to follow, the pupils will be done with a shader, which is sorcery and therefore not practiced by myself but google has plenty of magicians willing to share.. some will be at a price π§ββοΈ

metallic map has a specular map inside it right?
@glossy whale I believe you can group them in blender and export as FBX with no assigned materials, and use the unity standard ones, the grouping just defines the material slots in the inspector I think
outer current
Is there such a way to use a tileable texture (albedo, normal, etc) that can repeated and overlay a mesh's own unique normal map/AO independently of the tileable texture? Like a column that uses a rock tileable texture that can be repeated but has its own baked normal/AO map that isn't repeated.

Anyone knows why when I import this object from magicavoxel the shadow has empty spaces in it like this?
zenith cove
@untold axle have you tried playing with light shadow bias/normal?
untold axle
I tried messing with the normal and bias but it makes all the shadows super harsh even the light one but it does fix it
maiden tangle
wouldn't be because it's been imported as ludicrously small would it?
lighting would be my best bet yea bias and all that..
also for objects that sharp consider making the shadow sharp as well, additionally changing to linear just imo.
zenith cove
yea very small objects can also have problems akin to that
untold axle
Hmm could it be to size I export them? Since it only happens in directional light
thing is I am using magicavoxel so the biggest I can go is 126x126 xD

does it happen even if you scale them up in editor?

@bold scroll how do you ensure that the UV maps A.) apply to the model in the "Rendered" view in Blender with transparent images B.) ensure that the UV maps used carry into Unity? I've found that when I import my FBX models into Unity, the UV mapped images are lost, and I have to put the image on a new material in Unity and then put that in the corresponding material slot of the imported FBX model

@pine ore did you scan those mushrooms from a real object?
pine ore
yup
glacial vector
With photogrammetry for games it's common to do a retopo of the scan, so you can optimize the model and make it look better for the engine
Like sharpening corners, which tends to be smoothed out from scans
pine ore
yeah i was having trouble doing it
i got meshify and blender but its all so much to keep up with hahaha
glacial vector
It would give you a more readable and more optimized model if you do that
pine ore
and then there is mask maps to make for hdrp
glacial vector
Yes, if you do a lowpoly retopo though you can bake down details from the scan
pine ore
yeah i watched a tutorial on how to bake all the detail into normals or what evs it was,
they are supposed to be looked at from more this angle and distance as its a td
glacial vector
Yeah that should be fine then :) I would probably adjust the textures so they pop a bit more but your scene does look kind of desaturated so it might make sense like this too

Hello, not sure if I'm posting this in the right room. I have a question about using using a texture atlas and loads of objects in flat colored low poly art.
eager mist
I've been watching some game dev logs where the art style is flat color low poly and I've noticed that they all cram a ton of objects in a single blender file and UV unwrap and assign the meshes onto the atlas with color/gradient grid.
I have a few questions:
- Is it necessary to model all the items in a single blender file if you are planning to use a texture atlas?
- If you are using the same texture atlas (since we are using a color/gradient grid for multiple things), is it ok if you model objects separately in its own file and only unwrap it?
- When in Unity, lets say you have 50 objects active on a screen which all use the same texture atlas & material. Will there be a draw call for each object even if you are spawning new ones from the same texture atlas? Or will there be only one draw call since all the items are using the same texture atlas?

@eager mist it doesn' matter how you make your models - it can be in a single scene file or multiple. The export is what matters.
For 3, if objects share the same material they can be batched together, as long as they are static in the scene. This is on e of the big benefits of using a texture atlas

night socket
I'm trying to see if there's a way I can improve my modelling workflow for my game
my game is set in a school so I have to model buildings with interiors and it's incredibly annoying to do so
I'm using archipack pro and I find it to be useful but has two major flaws in my case:
takes a long time (sometimes days) to make a building
it's very hard to modify the building in edit mode without archipack freaking out
Does anyone know any better ways to create buildings with interiors? I just care about the wall parts rather than furniture btw.
Ideally I would LOVE a tool that lets me generate a building w/ interior but it seems like that doesn't exist (there's plenty that just generate a building exterior)
plucky hinge
@night socket I would think the process is the same as exterior just modified?
Im personaly using Roundrtip workflow at the moment but with no stingray shaders as i cant get them to import textures
night socket
not really. It's still annoying to make an interior the 'same' way I made the exterior
if I just delete the roof and then place walls I might as well just use archipack
plucky hinge
@night socket have you seen the systme they made for sunken city?
they made there system open soruce but if you was to edit it to a CLosed system that looked at the interal space Vs the enteranl, it hsould work to populate interiors
the same way UBISOFT populated there interiours for assaisn creed Unity
definatly look at Ubisofts system for filling interiors
but at the same time i understand the issue your facing is not a easy one -__- I wish you the best of luck
rigid pelican
plucky hinge
@night socket I guess your real challange comes from the facat that you want your Exterior generations IE Windows to match what is proseduraly genratd for the Interior. so that the windows on the oustside would match the windows of your interior
that would definaly requer a logic to restrain the prosedruatl generation in ether the exteranl or internal elemnts
could i ask what you END gole is ?
night socket
I don't really care if it's automatically generated, that's just the ideal solution. I just want something that is quicker than my current process and doesn't leave me with buildings I can't modify if I don't want to risk breaking it all and having to remake it
this is one of the buildings. I wouldn't be able to modify anything substantial on this at all (move a window, door, etc)

hmm in regards to placement method I definitely think there is a point of Diminished returns in regards to the time developing a procedural system VS manually placing them with an artist.

nice work
but also i feel your pain as a solo wanting to automate the process but in my oppinion,
at that scale
it would make more sence to manutaly place the assets
as opposed to spending the time to creat a automated process
for a city sure
but this set of buildijng , evern though it is large.. its just a matter of manual work
night socket
I've tried the modular but I found it to be even more slow than archipack and assuming I don't merge all the modular assets, creates the problem of a lot of individual objects
plucky hinge
So will this layout say the same though your project?
its not needed to change on the fly etc
or do you anticipate that it will shift and morph though your project many times
night socket
yes it will relatively stay the same
plucky hinge
hmm yea
then in my opinion , i would say you just take the manual approach and place assets or things one by one
its Tedious i know -_-
can i recomend you look for support
not from paid artist but from the Congative surplus s of artists out there who would be willing to help you
I fully understand the mind of the solo dev, I have been there many times, but i would say the power of Cognitive surplus and the artist who would be WILLING to help you is what makes indi gamming what it is
@night socket even Garfield had Jon Arbuckle and lazanja

How do you make it so textures repeat say if you increase the size of a cube to stretch by 1 in the x direction. How would I make it so the texture was 1x1 and not 1x2 after I stretch it.
I'm not sure if that made much sense, I'm pretty new to everything. Don't completely roast me lmao.

Two options @eager mist: in UVs or in the material itself. If you're modeling something it's easy to adjust the UVs so they are not stretched. If you are just scaling a cube in Unity then there is an option for X and Y tiling on the material itself

Need some help with modelling a landscape. I want to use this as a reference but I'm not entirely sure how to go about starting to actually model it
fringe hawk
I only use blender so I only have tips on that, but, just in case you are using blender, I'll tell you how to go about modeling it there.
For something like this, it's good to start off with a Plane and use that as your ground.
Scale it up to the amount you need it to be and then go to sculpting mode. In there, you can edit the land to have any slight slopes and hills. If you don't have time to do that, go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons and search for Add mesh: A.N.T landscape and click the checkmark. Then just go to Add > Mesh > Landscape and mess around with the settings until you get basically what you need. You can fix any small mistakes in sculpting mode.
After that, you can start working on trees and other things by starting off with simple shapes, like rectangular prisms. You can place these in the areas where you need each of your buildings and or trees to be.
After you know where they should be, sculpt on top of it or deform the object until you get what you need. Again, if you don't have time, go to the add-ons again and this time, search for and select Add curve: Sapling tree gen and Add mesh: Archipack/Add mesh: Extra objects.
The final thing to do is to color and texture the objects, unless you're going to do that in unity.
If you're going to do it in blender, I recommend this one addon where you can get textures for your objects. Go to add-ons and the search for 3D view: Blenderkit asset library. You can search for whatever textures you need and most of them already have depth and color taken care of.
I really hope this helps you
night socket
I always just end up with boring landscapes that are flat and end up being impossible to change after they're 'done' due to shit topology (see attached image for my previous landscape).
I've tried already to map it out with planes(sculpting isn't ideal because of the fact it usually ends up with high triangle count and having a large mesh with a large triangle count that will always be rendered because it's the ground is a big no for me)
The main problem is the paths. I want them to be separate from the grass parts but my last attempt ended up with awful topology and then I realized some paths caused problems and removing/changing the shape of them was literally impossible
And then there's the buildings. I'm not remodelling them because archipack sucks ass if you want to do any editing in edit mode and still want to use archipack to make doors and windows (archipack will remove literally any change done in edit mode. I'm using the pro version and it still does that) and it's incredibly hard to find landscape references that end up fitting the buildings
i've tried multiple times to find better ways to fix some of these problems such as easier methods for buildings but the answers always seem to be:
archipack
modular
and neither are ideal because of reasons I've already stated for archipack and modular leaves me with a bunch of separate objects that will usually be a pain in the ass to merge because I don't want to deal with 100s of separate objects (and then imagine if I want to change stuff after merging)

I'm not sure how to fix archipack's issues but I'll see if I can find a way to fix it. If I do, I'll tell you. Also, if you want to fix the ground after it's done press F9.
I also created some land that could fit with what you're making but some of the hills might be too extreme so you can lower the height. Here's the photo of the settings I picked:
And here's a picture of the land it generated

Need some help with some landscape I'm making for my game
All the issues I've had with the landscapes I've made so far is that they're all too flat, which is no exception for this one
(this is a boarding school campus btw)
Does anyone know what I can do to make it more.. dynamic?
The grass parts are unity terrain while the paths and river/stream are not. (The terrain is also made from a mesh using the object to terrain script)

Hello, I want to bake a navmesh for my level, but it doesn't work well, so, instead, I want to use the NavMesh Surface Component. But it doesn't bake well also
This is when I try: Physics Colliders
(It's a box collider so I don't understand that behaviour)
This is when I use: Render Meshes
Still wrong, how could I make the navmesh to cover the full mesh?

Hi, I am having a really hard time solving a problem with converting world maps I can find online into a map I can work with in Unity (either 2D or 3D). Would really appreciate some help if anyone has a spare minute throughout the day?

I've got some trouble. It's my very first own project I want to try to finish. There is one cannon you rotate 90 degrees and shoot projectiles to enemies that walk along 4 lanes. The porblem is - at first I made some mistake with my cannon blender model and had to fix it. When I did it I changed somehow (haven't noticed) the position of center of coordinate system. And thus instead of rotating cannon around beatifully-centereed Y axis there is parallel shift in this axis. After few rotations my cannon starts aiming to mountains, not lines. Any ideas how to fix it? Or should I make another cannon model?

@torpid elk just create an empty gameobject you place as parent of the canon, put it where you want, and rotate it instead of the cannon
torpid elk
I made this mistake, because I realised too late that blender is z-up and unity is y-up and had to find a way to fix it. In a meantime I had to replace cannon somehow that the rotational axis has been moved. Thanks for advice

Hey Guys & Girls. I created my first couple low poly weapons i might use in a game i am currently making. Can you give me some opinions on what you like about it / what i could do better next time. They took less and less time with each one being finished. The bow was my biggest challenge.
I uploaded pictures on imgur: https://imgur.com/a/37sUF82

BTW, do you have any good solution to change z-axis = up in blender to y-axis = up in unity? Any good methods to make this transition?
buoyant tundra
is it not enough to rotate it before import?
speaking of blender, does anyone know how I can select multiple objects (countries in my case) and downscale them not together as one but relative to their own position? (so I add a small amount of space between each countrys border/meshes)

so anyone think I got a good basic shape for a wasp?
I used a curve to get it to look more like a zinger
near lotus
It's a reaaaaally basic shape. It's so basic that there isn't anything to critique. It looks like a bent cylinder, which is what it is.

i know it is
I intend to sculpt it to make it look like a wasp or a bee
or at least something that looks like one of those things

Hello, are there any tutorials out there on how to import fbx characters and use them?

I'd like to ask if you have any good tutorial or books about blender usage in terms of game dev (like basic modeling, textures, animations)? I want to feel more confident and control what I do

How can i import magicavoxel model to unity?
bronze mango
All tutorials show the workflow to create small game assets for game engines, say a car: sketch, model, texture, done, but I can't find anything on how to not lose texture detail when you model something large (for example a house), I can't a have a 4k texture for every hose in a game. Do you have separate materials for walls (with a tileable texture) and other parts? How do you do it?

does anyone have any tips on how i can get rid of these hard edges where the two objects intersect? Im using blender

Join the two objects and then use a combination of the knife and merge vertices? That's all I can think of.
mossy fjord
Hello! I was wondering if anyone has had a similar issue to me and know how to solve it. I modeled This dog in blender and exported it as an fbx to unity. Unity for whatever reason distorts my model and I can't seem to find a solution. I've applied the transformations in blender and that's done nothing for me. Anyone know a solution?
eager mist
check the import settings and switch the normals generation around a bit @mossy fjord ? just a guess, idk if it will help or not
Anyone know why some of my very low poly models, turned ultra high?
it seemed that something subdivided them x10
mossy fjord
the thing is It's not just the normals. It's the actual geometry that's deformed
eager mist
oh weird- yeah; i dont know what would cause that, srry. but another guess would be maybe that its some form of topology issue. what does the wireframe of your model look like?
also worth a check; did you apply the modifiers (assuming you are using a subsurface modifier?) cause blender modifiers dont play nice with unity sometimes
mossy fjord
admittedly the topo isn't great. That's probably the cause of the issue. I was hoping i could get away with the lazy topo. All modifiers are applied
latent dome
you shoul watch the backface culling @mossy fjord
activate the box backface culling to see what faces are missing
near lotus
@mossy fjord It looks like either a flipped normals issue or you're using a transparent shader in Unity that's causing depth issues.
