You don't have any faces or edges hidden inside the model or loose vertices hanging around?

Not that know of. I've removed doubles in blender and it doesn't remove any verts

Thats alright. Thanks for trying
If I apply the armature and then import to unity it's 100% fine. Is there some sort of setting that affects the weight assigned to bones in unity compared to blender?

No problem and good luck!
frigid widget
@slate axle most material propeties that are defind in Blender do not survice the import via FBX into unity , you have to adjust the materials in unity to your liking

@bronze mango Stuff like tiling textures, and trim sheets.
If you can afford it, stuff like decals and vertex blending can help a lot too.

Newer to Blender. I had 1/4 of this model, and I mirrored it get the other pieces. Is there a quick way to combine all the mirrored faces and edges together?
crystal wing
I tried that, it didn't work :(
mossy fjord
Are you sure that the vertices along the edges of the mirror are touching?
crystal wing
Yea, as far as I can tell. I had to leave the computer for a bit. But I'll double check that

If that doesn't work you can try to merge close vertices by pressing Alt+M and choose "By Distance"

Hey guys, I want to have an outline effect on my character, think like Borderlands. Should I just do it in blender has part of the model or use shaders?
mossy fjord
Alright guys, I'm convinced that Unity is just messing with me at this point. I've retopologized this model, rerigged, the whole thing. I updated unity and reimported my model. I get the same error with the mesh formation but to a slightly different degree. The shoulders are now relatively normal but now there's a cavity in the chest area right under the neck. There HAS to be something up with importing the rig to unity. I've tried going to the rig setting in unity and changing the skin weights from Standard (4 Bones) to 255 and it's done nothing for me. Does anyone have ANY suggestions? It feels like I've tried everything at this point.

You can do it directly in unity, if it is a humanoid rig

@lone light Cavity as in polys getting sucked in. The normals are all facing outwards. I also triangulated the mesh and it did nothing

๐ค if you export that mesh and import it in a different 3d tool does the same thing happen?
That would point at Unity
IF you're doing FBX you can also try a different version
mossy fjord
Which other file types support animations in unity?
I don't have any other 3D tools on my pc besides Unity and Blender so I can't test it sadly. However, when I import the FBX that I export from blender back into blender it looks and animates fine
Also when I apply the armature in blender it looks completely fine in unity but then I can't animate it
bronze mango
How do you model and texture things that are a bit bigger without losing quality? I see three ways:
- modular: downside - each piece will have a different material
- triplanar mapping: - downside is that you'll have to place a lot of decals to avoid repetition
- one piece: downside is that the texture will look bad due to lower texel density.
I see a lot of awesome unity levels but I can't figure this thing out
near lotus
You wouldn't use triplanar mapping generally, on something like a house for example. You would use a lot of tiling textures on regular UVs.
Modular is another good way. You can create a bunch of parts and texture them all together, so they share a material. Then assemble your house with them.
Using detail maps is generally a good idea for tiny details.
crystal wing
Why is it that importing a model from Blender to Unity changes my materials? It's not even the lighting. I checked the material in both programs, and the actual hex colour is different in Unity (along with all the values for stuff like metallic being gone)
near lotus
Because 1:1 compatibility with materials between Blender and Unity isn't the expectation. You need to set up your materials in Unity.
crystal wing
There's no way around that, eh? So set up textures in Blender, if it has a texture. Then make a material in Unity and apply the texture, if it has one
near lotus
Set up textures in Blender...? I guess, only if you're doing texture painting or something.
near lotus
No idea why you would think that. They're two different programs with different shaders and different uses.
crystal wing
I know that, just thought something as simple as the hex colour code would be retained. Would baking the texture be a viable option?
near lotus
See I can't answer because I don't know what you're trying to do.
crystal wing
Fuck, I don't even know what I'm trying to do.

It would help me if I knew what your end goal was.

crystal wing
Damn, alright. Thanks.

Are his materials complicated? Is he using nodes and stuff to make them render nicely in Blender?
Or are they just basic colors?

Just basic colours that are metallic and shit at the moment.

Ok, just set them up in Unity then. It's the best solution.
frail skiff
when bringing assets into a scene- is there any tricks to doing that efficiently? Currently using a set of assets which fit together quite well but dragging stuff into the scene always just places them wherever kinda
fit together quite well - i mean like this
glacial vector
Holding v to vertex snap is useful for placing modular pieces
But there is also a ProGrid package in the package manager than can be helpful for level art
frail skiff
ok nice thanks alot already 2 things i didnt know
the only decent way i found is by replacing the mesh inside the mesh filter but that would not be clever since there the mesh renderer doesnt care about that right? In addition to this it is quite a hassle because i need to "open" up the hierarchy of the objects everytime since i need to access the mesh inside
so every replacement takes these steps right now
glacial vector
It's not ideal but it works
But ctrl+D to duplicate if you already have one present
frail skiff
the thing is i totally loose focus on whats which mesh cause everything is open
even with just these 20 things once i open everything up its 60
ok so importing them on from one FBX seems to save myself from having that many unncessary icons
glacial vector
And materials ๐
frail skiff
youre right its only one material now
now i am wondering tho. What if i wasnt working on this alone hmmm
then i guess ill have two of these massive fbx files with meshes in them?
glacial vector
Not sure what you mean. You wouldn't have two people working on the same mesh
frail skiff
true but i might have different people bringing different meshes in and if you have to search through multiple huge fbx "folders" it might become strange
but am i actually just doing something entirely wrong tho ? i have worked with ue before and each mesh actually is imported as that into the engine but in unity i always get two of each
im sure there is a way to not have that happen?
junior stone
@frail skiff did you just export your scene as an fbx from your modelling software?
frail skiff
yes @junior stone
exporting them one by one did this ... (one sec making a screenshot)
since i want to access the meshes tho, to replace them i need to open them all up, you know what i mean?
junior stone
you can have them all in the scene in blender and export them separately instead of as one fbx tho
when you export, you can choose to export only selected
junior stone
oh ok, but wouldnt you just keep the .blend file and re-export them if you need to?
frail skiff
you mean import the blend file instead of fbx?
junior stone
I mean open the blend file in blender and re-export the fbx files you changed
frail skiff
not sure what you mean ? I can just export again from blender since i have the export folder and the asset folder for the project share the same location
its gonna automaticaly reimport
junior stone
what do you think will happen if the fbx file on unity corrupts?
if its all in one fbx
you re basically asking for trouble
frail skiff
hmmm didnt know thats a thing
junior stone
im not saying it will happen, but its always possible
frail skiff
but importing them one by one gives me ... this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/497873833043296277/708010608192127046/unknown.png
these are.. i guess automatically generated prefabs?
junior stone
mhmm, whats the roblem with that?
they are meshes, not prefabs
if you check their inspector, they dont have a transform component
they do have import settings
are you confused about what the sphere is?
junior stone
huh
oh wait
I have things mixed up, those are kinda prefabs. but you cant edit them there. you can drag them into the scene taht way. if you open the arrow it shows you the mesh object and the sphere is the material
junior stone
you can think of the parent being a fbx file, and the mesh is a child of it together with the material
data wise
frail skiff
ok but my issue is, that everything gets extremely messy because of this
now I place an object in my scene
to replace this
i need a mesh to drag on it
now i cant just access the prefabs down in my project window
i need to open each of these prefabs up and take the mesh from there
and with only about 20 of these prefabs- stuff looks like this
frail skiff
nope sadly not
junior stone
you could click the little + icon next to the mesh field and select the mesh from there
frail skiff
now thats kinda cool but that also means i cant use folders to seperate houses - grounds and so on
my workflow seems to not work well with unity so far
lol
junior stone
why do you need to change the mesh in the meshfilter component btw?
wouldnt it be easier to just drop a new fbx into the scene?
frail skiff
not really cuz i made everything tile you know ? so i want Ground_01 at the location x 0 y 0 z 0 and Ground_02 at x 2 y 0 z 0
junior stone
so you take the mesh for 1 and put it on 0,0,0 and take the 2nd mesh and place it at 2, 0, 0
I assume what you are doing is take the first object, duplicate it and replace the mesh
junior stone
yeha I wouldnt rly do taht, just drag a new mesh object from the project window into the scene
frail skiff
is there a trick to you know.. not have it be placed somewhat random? like can i place it atleast on top of others somehow?
junior stone
you may be able to use progrids for that. that ll give you a grid to work with. alternatively you could place a plane with a collider on it and if you drag a mesh over it. it will snap to the plane
frail skiff
ok ill try that out
somehow i disabled my move gizmo during taking screenshots tho so ill have to fix that first lol
junior stone
alternatively alternatively, you can hold v to snap meshes to the vertices of another mesh in the scene

And with no texture.. Im new to blender and unity and wanted to create an asset for my game .. how would i go about doing this? thanks

@shrewd palm you need to export the texture along with the mesh (or assign the texture to a material in unity) and assign that to the object

Hey everyone! Quick question for you if anyone has an answer. I am a teacher and am looking at different tools to speed up our Unity development pipeline. I teach kids about many aspects of programming, art, and project management pipelines, but character modeling, rigging, texturing, and animating is way more complex than we usually have time for. I was thinking about getting something like Character Creator 3 to significantly speed up that pipeline, but I am wondering if anyone with industry experience can tell me if that is a bad move to make from a high-school-preparing-kids-for-the-workforce perspective. Anyone have some guidance for me? ๐

The trrain should have a collider
you should be sure that your mesh collider is effective

I am talking from the pov of the rigidbody, the terrain mesh collider works but If I have 40 Multiplayer players in on game, I cannot have a mesh collider for every player
unity doesn't let u do that

You should use primitives for characters. You don't need that many capsule colliders for a pretty solid hitbox

Hi Everyone, I have a strange problem with Blender FBX export to Unity. My default pose when exporting all clips in an NLA stack is a pose in an animation not even being exported. For example, here is the exported FBX default pose in Unity:
Here is my NLA stack and the pose I want as my default in Blender:
The TPose clip is the first in the NLA stack, and it's also the first animation in my list of Animations, I appended an "A" to the Animation Clip name to bring it to the top. No matter what I do, when I import into Unity, I get this strange default pose.
Now, why this is a Unity problem and why I am asking this question....
This is the correct pose when I don't use a humanoid rig in Unity, It comes in as a TPose (Great!)
Only when I select Humanoid does it get this strange default pose.
I figured this out just by experimenting... The default pose is not the first FBX file exported from Blender, it's the first animation clip in the Clips list in Unity:
Unity does not have a way for you to move the clips around in this view, (you cant move the clips up or down in the heirarchy). So you need to get this correct from the start, you remove all your animations, and ensure TPose is your first animation clip. And then you manually re-add all your other animations into the list and set them to the correct animation.
What a giant pain in the ass this, since you can't control what order your animations are exported in Blender. The NLA strips seem to have no effect on the order your clips are exported and seemingly use some other property on the file as the order they are imported into Unity. Maybe a timestamp on the animation clip? It seems arbitrary and probably something Unity or Blender need to sort out..
Sorry anyone if you are getting notifications on these posts.. I just Rubber Ducked this one.
Unity really needs to add the ability to move Animations up or down in the Import window:

@eager mist i realize you asked a while ago, but here's a great infographic for blender-> unity
By default, unity imports blender .fbx files as each object having (100,100,100) scale parented to a single (1,1,1) scale object. It is TERRIBLE. The above settings make eevrything work flawlessly.
Note that materials and textures are not totally compatible! You'll have to remake all of your materials within Unity to get them to look right.

Hi,does anyone know what might be causing this problem
Clicking Swap UVs fixed it, dose anyone know what it did?

@teal mesa The mesh has multiple UV maps, one for the texture and one for lighting. They were in the wrong order, so the lightmap UV was being used for the texture.

whats the best way to add custom clothing to a 3d character? so you can mix and match shoes, pants, shirts and so on
old snow
good question buddy, been trying to find that myself for a few weeks
junior stone
its quite simple, all you need to do is make a base model and add all of the clothes on top of it with separate objects, or if they need soft-skinning you can do the same thing in blender and add weights to them, then hsow or hide the right clothes
junior stone
I was faster
old snow
yea
i kept going :DD
you could use cloth physic asset, ive seen a few in the asset store
junior stone
depends on the art style of the game tho
old snow
but that takes up on the performance i guess
Also ive seen some mesh masking, but havent really found out more, but basically you masked out the body mesh that was underneath the clothes to remove clipping
well idk how that really works

You need the drawer to be a separate mesh so you can move it independently in unity

Does anyone know why the trees are not generated with a random size as they should?

gritty reef
@heady hedge You can go to edge select, hold ALT and click the edge to select the ring and press F to smart fill the empty area. You'll have an NGon and can break it up by selecting vertices and connecting them with J until you've got some nice quads.
@silver crescent Similarly, select pairs of edges and F to connect them with a new face since your area is more complex than Miffy's.
Actually, I didn't notice you don't have a bottom face on that. You can select the edge (r), extrude it straight down, and then merge vertices at the (g) corners.

Not sure if this is the right place for this. Just trying to understand the issue better first, I guess. I'm repurposing SteamVR's highlighting script to show where an item can be placed.

This is fine when the highlight is ON the item it's highlighting, but when I place that highlight elsewhere, it's odd.

hey! im a super noob to unity, i just got it a few hours ago. im looking for help with something very specific. i want to make a mod for a game that uses the weapon models from unturned, and the unturned weapon models are in a unity package, and the game requires "3d model" files to use in the game. i thought i had done it right when i exported the Ace revolver, i right clicked the texture, [ https://prnt.sc/sgktei ] and exported it from the microsoft 3d texture viewer. But when i do the same with the crossbow [ https://prnt.sc/sgkwly ] it looks like this. [ https://prnt.sc/sgkx6i ] , basically i need a way to export this ( a model and the texture ) as a FBX file. if anyone responds to this please @ me as i likely wont see the message if you dont. thanks!

also in relation to my problems with unity not importing 3d objects correctly (textures not importing) and that according to some people that it's impossible for unity to be able to do that and it's not it's fault for whatever reason, godot literally does it fine with no changes to my blend file at all while unity cannot do it at all.
I see no reason why unity shouldn't be able to do one of the most basic things it should be able to do as a 3D game engine.
final granite
unity wont load blender procedural materials ?
queen mulch
@night socket Unity can do all those things just fine. Are you having problems with importing texture sets? or materials ? or materials with blenders node based procedural textures?
glacial vector
No, you would need to make them inside unity @final granite
final granite
that sucks
glacial vector
They are entirely different render engines. But with ShaderGraph you can do many of the same things
final granite
wish i asked first, instead of spending hours on nodes ๐
queen mulch
You can render those textures and set them in unity if you wanted
final granite
how? ๐ค
queen mulch
You would need to use a technique called Texture Baking. Lots of tutorials , bake out the textures save them and in unity add them to a material.
night socket
@queen mulch they're materials that literally are just principled bsdf with a image texture attached. All of them.
Keep in mind:
Godot doesn't have a problem with this at all
Some materials work fine in Unity, some don't (seemingly completely random. Trust me, I've checked every multiple times)
I also can't just import every texture and make a material for them by hand since there's a tonne of them and it'll also mean when I update 1 I have to update it in both Unity and Blender

Topo looks all kinds of fucky. You might have more luck using sculpting for projects like that rather than using hard surface style modeling.
A lot of the character/natural modeling I've seen, the artist starts out with a rough blockout and then they use subdivision to add detail and keep topo clean. Rather than starting with what amounts to a higher poly model and then trying to tailor it as you extrude.
onyx summit
any way to make 3D pixel objects in like blender or unity?
gritty reef
Are you talking voxel style? Like this: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f1/3c/65/f13c65c37957eeae23edd32e5fa2ce80.jpg
gritty reef
Well, in blender you can use snapping increments to get a blocky design. Just choose how far you want it to snap and then move/extrude faces using that distance.
For instance, here's a 1mx1mx1m cube
Let's say I want to use that as my base size for each "pixel". I can just hold CTRL and move that face along the Y axis in chunks of 1m
You can set it to lock by default by clicking the little magnet icon to make it easier
then when it comes to texturing it's super, super easy since you'll want each "pixel" to be a single color.
So you can build things in cubes
onyx summit
im very new to blender so i dont anything about the program. Maybe you could explain a bit more in dm's or something
gritty reef
Because it's not my go-to style, I'm not familiar with the exact setup that's best for this style of design. You'd be better off looking on youtube for Voxel designs in blender tutorials to get an idea of how to manage settings like scale and snapping.
onyx summit
ahh okay
queen mulch
In the new dev builds of blender there are new mechanics coming that make that kind of modeling very easy like auto booleans and extruding and removing squares. But that is yet to be in main build. You can use something like MagicaVoxel( https://ephtracy.github.io/ )(https://www.voxelmade.com/magicavoxel/) and export your designs to unity.

@rotund snow You should ask yourself what does my game require in terms of graphic styling and what workflow and pipeline best fits the project. Is there more than one artist working on the project? Is there a game document that lay's out all of those details? All of those workflows you mentioned can be done but ask yourself if you will need those steps. Will you need AO maps? Will you need highpoly mesh normals baked onto a low poly model? Will you need to use blender material nodes and shaders then bake all the maps needed and import them to unity? All those questions can be done with blender sure but what does your game actually require?
rotund snow
@queen mulch Thanks so much for the response. Very much appreciated. It's good advice for sure as I did try a model with and without AO and couldn't really see any difference. It's for a mobile game so I guess extreme detail is not needed. I am working solo on this project. I guess I'm trying to understand what are the common workflows used by others for texturing. I really wasn't sure if those methods were being used or if there were better alternatives. I've read so much about different ways to go about this, like using Substance Painter for example. There are so many options I was finding it difficult to know which one I should use.

What happens is when you click the gas button, you accelerate to the max speed and keep going until you click break, and that's when you gradually slow down. Is there a way I can detect when my gas button is not being pressed so the speed goes down like it does when you click the break?
Here is my code
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
public class PlayerMove : MonoBehaviour
{
public float maxMoveSpeed = 10f;
public float currentMoveSpeed = 0f;
public float acceleration = 0.2f;
public Joystick joystick;
private CharacterController cc;
private bool gas = false;
private void Start()
{
cc = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
}
public void Gas()
{
gas = true;
}
public void Break()
{
gas = false;
}
public void Update()
{
if (gas)
{
if (currentMoveSpeed < maxMoveSpeed)
{
currentMoveSpeed += acceleration;
}
Vector3 forward = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
cc.SimpleMove(forward * currentMoveSpeed);
}
else
{
if (currentMoveSpeed >= 0)
{
currentMoveSpeed -= acceleration;
Vector3 forward = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
cc.SimpleMove(forward * currentMoveSpeed);
}
}
}
}```For example, I could run the break function whenever my button isn't pressed

So I'm creating the prototype for a card game. What is the best way to get text to be rendered on the card within certain boundaries? I was using 3D Text, but as far as I can tell, there's no way to set any outer boundaries to stop the text from going over the size of the card. What's the best way to fix this? Am I missing some option somewhere?

You should probably use TextMesh Pro

Oh I see the option! I didn't notice it before. I'll try it out ๐

When in 3D, how do you crop a sprite instead of stretching/resizing it?
For example, here. How would I get this to crop instead of stretching out in a 3D space?
Sorry if I'm asking stupid questions ๐ I'm new to Unity
And is it possible to make sure any sprites loaded will stay the same global size, instead of changing depending on how many pixels they have?
I think I'm going to go ahead and get ready for bed, so pings would be appreciated! I'll respond when I wake up ๐
glacial vector
Ask this in #archived-art-asset-showcase instead. But if you're new you should try and follow tutorials on how to do these things @molten slate

@maiden tangle Hi,
I am using a UI button and not a key press. My first script was when you click space then it goes and when you let go it stops, but Iโve changed it to be a mobile game with UI elements.

Hello, I recently made some basic blocks to generate maps with, and they work fine in Blender, but when I try to import them in Unity the UVs seem to be all out of whack... Is there an easy fix I'm not seeing ? Gave up and just modified the UVs with ProBuilder inside Unity
(don't mind the wiggly bits of the texture, those parts will never be seen by the end user so I didn't bother UV mapping them properly)
eager mist
Anybody have any ideas as to why this isn't matching up in Unity, when it's basically seamless in Maya?
This is using the same material too.
It's almost like Unity just completely ignores my UV mapping.
molten slate
@glacial vector Even though it's technically in a 3D space? I'll do that ๐ Also, I couldn't find any documentation or tutorial on how to do what I'm trying to do

@eager mist what are your model import settings?
@molten slate to make the sprite in 3d space use the same global size every time, you can use a gameobject with a looping particle system, emission set to 1 particle, velocity of zero, lifetime same as particle system lifetime, then change the size property.
As for "cropping" rather than stretching, I believe you can set the texture import setting for Wrap Mode to Clamp.
molten slate
@tall forum Huh, thatโs an interesting workaround. I also already have it on clamp
tall forum
@molten slate particle system also lets you specify a 3d scale.
Not sure about cropping in Unity itself...I guess crop and save a copy in photoshop/gimp?
molten slate
Well if the cropping isnโt an option thatโs alright. Iโll just have to make sure everything is the same scale. Thank you Josiah! ๐

question about voxel style games. i want to build a premade world by hand, maybe 700x700(x16?). i will probably create the blocks in magicavoxel and optimize them in blender. is it feasible to have each block its own mesh, or will i have to find some way of merging vertices between blocks.
and does anyone know any good resources on this topic? (also not against paying for courses)

limpid zephyr
Hello! This summer I've been working on a game with a small team of student developers and we're looking for one more artist to add to the team. This is not for profit, just for all of us to practice and learn. We started about 2 weeks ago and we have about 3 weeks to go. The project is a downhill, infinite runner where you ride on a scooter. Think SSX Tricky meets Temple Run. We're targeting PC and mobile platforms. The time commitment we're looking for is about 10-20 hours per week and we have three meetings weekly on M/W/F @ 8:30pm. We're looking for one motivated artist to work on modeling, UV'ing, and texturing in-game environmental assets.
If you're interested, just send me a direct message

Hey, how do I keep ProBuilder from fucking up my game because it keeps resetting colliders ? All the answers I've found online are for outdated versions of ProBuilder
For more detail: I have a stair model and a clip mesh with no stairs on it and just a single flat surface, and even if I set that clip mesh as the collider mesh ProBuilder resets it whenever the program runs
It's driving me absolutely insane
eager mist
im pretty new to this stuff
but heres what ive come up with
just messign around
whatcha think?
queen mulch
@dense copper
Unity does not modify UV's on import. I suspect the UV's are fine and the problem you are having is due to the way you where displaying the texture before you applied it in unity and was most likely not matched up to the uv layout correctly. One thing you can do is while in Blender's UV editor export the "uv layout" as an image and bring it to unity and in your objects material set the uvlayout map in the albedo slot.(In Blenders UV editor)
This should now show the uvlayout on your modeland should line up.If not there are a couple things to look at in blender tab into edit mode for your model then look into Object Data panel
Here you can see if you have multiple UV sets for that model and remove any uv layouts that are not needed.If you have a single entry thats great.Now back in unity select your Model object and look into the materials properties
Here you can select the proper uv layout if you had accendently had multiple. If everything is as should be then it is like expected and the texture was not placed correctly to match with the uv's in the firstplace. (also: Check offset, rotation, and tiling properties in your material that can also cause that issue)

Hey, anyone who's experienced in importing blender models + materials into unity?
If you are, feel free to dm me! ^^
gritty reef
@eager mist Is your spline set to Bezier or is it Poly? Poly has no curve handles, bezier does.
gritty reef
Poly draws straight from point to point. To get a smooth curve, you have to add more and more points. Bezier does the curve on its own.
eager mist
-> normally if i create a new spline it makes nice smooth curve
subdividing it doesnt change anything
gritty reef
Most splines are bezier by default
gritty reef
It's the same concept. Set your path to bezier and it will allow you to use the handles to modify your path's curve
eager mist
nah. i tried that long agooo.
if you place a path curve there is no handles
i dont want even stupid shitty ugly handles
ew disgusting. go away wit hthat xD
glacial vector
Great attitude towards someone who tries to help
eager mist
its not towards him.
gritty reef
S'all good. I haven't messed much with paths so I'm not totally familiar with them.
eager mist
its towards handles
gritty reef
Handles are the only way I know to achieve the same curve you're talking about.
That being said, I don't know how blender handles paths ordinarily.
gritty reef
ah okay, so it's some kind of automatic smoothing
glacial vector
It's more like the control points in Maya, as opposed to curves with bezier points
gritty reef
Give this a try @eager mist
eager mist
cant cause i ve deleted the old stuff
gritty reef
ripperoni
Well if you run into the issue again, it looks like setting the path to NURBS makes it smooth automatically. It might have been accidentally changed to poly or bezier.

If I made a default Blender cube 0.1m, would the file size be drastically smaller than the same cube but 1000m?
Same verts count
gritty reef
The .blend file stays the same size
glacial vector
shouldn't change fbx either
gritty reef
I made a default cube and the blend size is 607kb. I scaled it way up and it stayed the same size.

@mental kernel thats an uhm... interesting character
dense copper
@queen mulch Thank you so much for that - I only have 1 map but I will mess with it in blender to see if I can look at it like you said. A temporary solution I came up with was just to tile the material in unity a bit on the x axis which shifted it back

uhh I have a problem with a spaceship I'm modelling, I can't decide if I should keep every moving part as a separate object or if I should just use skeletal animation
can you easily take the rotation of a gameobject and make a bone copy it? I've got an asset that would be really good for targeting and I would like to be able to use it, but I don't think it works with bones directly

nvm I just found out Unity handles every bone like a gameobject.. since the asset works with gameobjects it should work

Yeah, he's either doing this for fun, or he's starving to death. If he's doing it for fun, he'll get bored and quit eventually, and if he's starving to death, expect his prices to go up.
I guess the third option is he could actually starve to death.
glacial vector
@eager mist This is the standard way to do foliage. It becomes more and more heavy the more layers of transparency have to be rendered on top of each other. The most important optimization is to use cutout transparency instead of transparent or fadeout
The issue you're referring to is called alpha overdraw, you can look it up
eager mist
@glacial vector oh thanks, I was already using the transparent cutout shader so its all good

@eager mist this is #๐โart-asset-workflow .
@vapid trail the shape you're looking for is a cylinder. Delete the default cube and click add>cylinder (in the top bar inside the editor window). From there you can model it into a log.
I'll post a screenshot for you when I'm on my PC in case you still need help.

Whatโs the right way to render thousands of meshes? Is it best to combine all the meshes into one mesh or can you limit draw calls if you have 1000s of GameObjects?
glacial vector
If meshrenderers share the same material and their gameObjects are marked as batching static, they will be combined into the same drawcalls
mortal maple
How many can you make before seeing a drop in frame rate? I mean on a modest system.
glacial vector
That varies greatly from project to project. Draw calls is only part of the puzzle
mortal maple
So if Iโm instancing these gameobjects at runtime and I set them all as static in the editor, once I add them can they be disabled and destroyed individually like normal or are they stuck together
glacial vector
They can still be destroyed, it's just the renderer that batches them together

I'm very new to working with 3D and for days now I've been trying to simply import a premade room I found on CGTrader. I've been unable to find a file format for which the textures will load in automatically in Unity. In my search I realized that none of these models were UV mapped (I think?) and so I looked into the process of doing that. But it seems insanely time consuming, and this map has like 40 objects. Do people really do this every time they import a 3D asset? Am I missing something?

So on a whim I tried using a much older version of Unity I happened to have installed, and now the Materials tab is appearing on my fbx asset. I have no clue why this tab does not appear on the newest version of Unity for me.

After extracting the materials and textures from my fbx, none of the textures are applied to the materials. Is there a way to get them on there automatically, or do I have to sort through dozens of textures and figure out which ones are correct?
