forest inlet
anyone got any idea how i can export each animation separately using blender?
near river
Why? Exporting all of them and then just configuring which takes to import in Unity works fine for me
forest inlet
no real reason, id just like to have my animations in separate folder
so i can configure them once and leave them
and can iterate on the model separately
instead of re exporting full model each time
eager mist
How do I get unity to use two seperate UV maps on one mesh? I have a UV for lightmapping and a UV for the main texture but I'm unsure how to get them setup properly
forest inlet
so id like to do smth like export:
ModelFile.fbx
Animations/
ModelFile@Walk.fbx
ModelFile@Run.fbx
if u catch my drift
near river
Yup, I think you can still have a separate .blend file with just armature and dummy model rigged — import that in Unity, configure all your animations and leave it be. Roughly the same workflow, except fewer files, right?
Actually, just found a thread which suggests the same https://forum.unity.com/threads/export-actions-from-blender-by-separate-fbx-files-like-from-mixamo.470127/
@eager mist which pipeline? Built-in? URP? HDRP?
In shader graphs you'll typically get UV0 for main and UV1 for lightmapping (generated). In .shader files you'll use TEXCOORD0 and TEXCOORD1 instead. Everything else depends on what you want to do with UVs
eager mist
Great question, no clue. I've mostly just begun using unity so I'm only a little lost. I'm used to using the cryengine and older game engines
So I'll have to write a custom shader to specify what maps use what UVs?
near river
I think so; standard shaders I've seen all use UV0 for main textures
eager mist
Well hold on, if the first UV set is used for main textures and the 2nd for lightmapping, maybe I can just reverse the order in blender and it'll work without a custom shader. But then it looks like I wouldnt be able to use detail maps since they use uv1
I might be SoL on the way I'm going about this then
near river
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/LightingGiUvs-GeneratingLightmappingUVs.html — this one says that uv2 (i.e. TEXCOORD1 if I understand correctly) is used for lightmapping. Sadly, I've no idea about detail maps + lightmapping (never used that combo myself)
eager mist
Well atm it looks like swapping the UVmap locations worked, I'll get to the whole detail mapping issue when I get there, but here's something else
What would be causing the artifacting on the triangles in the distance?
It follows the camera around at that set distance away, so if you move forward its static relative to your position and moves along the geomtry
near river
First obvious q: do you have gizmos rendered?
eager mist
No, and a bit of googling indicates this is a known problem thats been reported and has been persisting for years, apparently caused by over interpolation of normals
hmm
What doesnt make sense is I don't encounter this in other peoples content in the game I'm making content for, so what makes my circumstances different? I doubt each and every modder implemented a solution for this
Ooh interesting, it only happens in the local test build, and not in the games live client - nevermind it still happens
forest inlet
also, does anyone know of an addon for blender that will do the following:
-let me apply modifiers and merge all meshes into one object, generate the UV map, then bake all the materials into one texture?
forest inlet
btw if anyone is interested
cut my work by 90%
all i have to do is combine the objects and make sure they're correct, set up armature etc
this addon can handle baking
btw, anyone can weigh in on the different textures they transfer to unity?
the base map -> i use the diffuse/albedo from blender
what do u guys use for metallic map?

Hey everyone I have a quick question. I have a 3d model that I imported and you can see the model facing forward but if you walk behind the model it becomes transparent. Anyone know how to fix that?

Has anyone had any problems with probuilder where when you assign a 2nd material e.g Element 0, Element 1; The 2nd material shows but when you do it again to a 2nd object, the 1st object looses that 2nd material and will not show again. Sorry if that sounds confusing
boreal rapids
Basicly, I apply the Element 1 and it shows. I then do the same for another model and then it all disappears and If I try adding it again, it does not work and will not show any other materials other then Element 0

Im trying to make a prop of a jar jull of suckers ,(lolipops)
but Im dont know the best way about doing it
lapis lance
kkk
sick junco
espicailly as the jar can easliy fit like 30 in it
I tried giving the suckers a rigidbody and paced them so they fall in , but it looks like that isnt the most effiecien way to do it
karmic lynx
what does the prop need to do?
is it just a jar full of stuff, seen, never interacted with?
sick junco
its a bit important so it needs to look good
yeah I want to fill it
as it will be looked at alot
karmic lynx
it it needs to look good and doesn't need to move, you don't need physics
you might be able to do it with rigidbodies, but getting that to work might take longer than doing it manually
rigidbody would be better if you had to fill dozens of jars with X stuff
karmic lynx
but for one jar that has to look nice, you can do it manually, and also make it look fancy while you're at it. put a ribbon on it or something 😄
glacial vector
There is also the option to do the physics simulation in blender, which isn't realtime so might give better results

karmic lynx
@lapis lance transparency and glowy stuff can be done in many different ways
the simplest is probably Additive particle shader
it's not the best, just simplest
basically, black color does nothing
anything not-black is added on top of whatever is behind it, making it look like bright lights
it can be green, red, whatever
for better results, you can do emissive stuff, there's specific shaders and materials just for making glass with glowing things, etc
sick junco
ok I added a light in the middle , but it is realtime , so I want it baked
can I do it so it only affects the jar
and the suckers?
karmic lynx
but additive shaders is a Unity thing
Blender can't actually do additive shaders easily, it has its own bunch of things to do
@sick junco it doesn't look like lollipops atm. more like glowing red eyeballs or fish eggs
also, that vase shape doesn't look right for an object that'd be full of candy
sick junco
yeah lol
I wanted to give it a glow , but thas how it turned out
karmic lynx
I was imagining something like this
sick junco
its not going to be a tradional candy jar
sick junco
yeah I went with that
karmic lynx
fill the bottom with some smaller candies - or, well, maybe a mesh with a tiling candy texture on them. no need to have individual pieces there for real
karmic lynx
it's too case specific
I have no idea what you're going for, realistic or cartoony, well lit or night
it's all about the illusion you want to make
any way, I have to go do some other stuff

when i apply a material to an object, the texture gets stretched to the dimensions, what if i want it to crop accordingly?
depending on the size of the object, the texture is stretched
can anyone help me?
karmic lynx
most materials use object's UV scaling
UV changes if object's scale is changed
use a special material that ignores UVs
or use other tricks
there are tons of tricks to solve this issue, but typically "I grab a cube and scale it" isn't enough
eager mist
yes figured that out myself and made the map in blender

Why aren't my sky textures being rendered at their actual resolution? The texture I'm using is an absurd 16384x8192, and I may end up using a cube map instead since it seems to be more efficient having six 2048 maps, but just for the sake of testing, I set the texture to 8192 which is the max, and well... It's clearly not that resolution. In fact, I see virtually no change in the viewport as I reduce the size of the texture all the way down to 2048. Beyond that, I then see the expected degradation.
This is about how detailed the moon should look at 8192:
errant plover
Change filter mode to point. I also think that Unity will scale down your texture until its a power of 2. So 16834 will be cut down to 8192.
unreal crest
I don't think you understand the issue. I realize the 16384 texture will be scaled down to 8192. My second image is showing what that would look like, approximately as it is at 50% scale in photoshop. Technically speaking it is 8192x4096 there.
Nonetheless, the result I am seeing in Unity looks virtually identical to a 2048x2048 texture. Its not even remotely similar to how the texture would look if it were scaled down to 8192.
And in general, it's not a good idea to change filter mode to point, as that means there's no blending between mipmaps when scaling the image down in game to lower resolutions which can result in aliasing and sparkling and other unwanted artifacts.
For example, with bilinear filtering:
And with point filtering:
Of course I didn't have the texture resolution set to 8192 there, so I just did that and... As you can see the result is identical:
And yes, I know I have scaled up the game view there. I did that so you could more easily see the difference in the moon.
errant plover
Interesting. Not sure what else to recommend.

@unreal crest , if it is a spherical map, than that 16k or 8k is one texture. You will get higher resolution from cube mapped skyboxes.
because that 8K texture is is 8K for the entire sphere, from 0 to 360 degrees.
with a 6 sided skybox you can have 8K per face, so your radial resolution actually becomes 8K X4
by this i mean, try to export the cube map faces alone. And use a 6 sided skybox - instead of importing a texture cube, and see what you can get out of that.

Having an issue with importing a mesh from MayaLT 2020 to Unity 2019.4.
In the project I’m working on there is a house model that has been placed multiple times in multiple scenes. I made a lower poly version and saved over the original file in the Unity project in explorer. When I opened the project again it had properly overwritten the original except that in the scene the model seems to have the wrong material assignments. It is supposed to be using 5 different textures which all show up perfectly fine in the inspector preview of the model and when dragging out a new instance of the model they show up fine but the previously placed models all look like they are only using 1 or 2.
Anyone else had this issue or know how I could fix this?

@tepid radish this is a different topic really so posting here. It's very new and a bit of work to get set up but this new Houdini SessionSync for Unity feature is pretty exciting to me for procedural mesh generation workflows. No export / import or round trip just live updates in Editor: https://youtu.be/kzKGZnimYlo
tepid radish
Oh wow that’s interesting
I don’t use Houdini but it looks good
Would be cool if blender did that but I don’t think it’s on their roadmap
azure ether
@tepid radish There is something similar called MeshSync that Unity Japan has been maintaining for Blender, Maya and some other software :

hello fellow game devs,
i am mainly a 3d artist so my unity skills are quiet limited. i made some models and textured them in substance. but they are way darker in unity hdrp 2020.1 than they are in substance, and i have no idea why.
i know that i am stupid and i messed around with lighing settings without an idea what i am doing so i am not sure if i messed this up there or maybe in the substance export settings or somewhere completely else?
if someone needs screenshots of other settings please tell me
brisk trellis
no
@quasi forge chk recycle bin if on windows
if someone needs screenshots of other settings please tell me
@stoic crescent do u have automatically generate lighting to on?
stoic crescent
i haven't. i baked them manuelly and now most things looks dark :S
(except for the things that are not lightmap static)
this is how the scene looks after baking lightmaps
i also reduced the sun lux in the meantime from 50k to a more common 18k
whenever i try to make things better they get worse
i have the feeling that i should first fix my horrible lighting before i should think aabout minor color differences between substance and unity

wooden portal
Hi guys, I hve a stupid question but i tried a bit of everything... I averaged the sides of two object but somehow the normal doesn't show up properly in unity... and i'm wondering why...
I tried multiple different way of importing the normal informations but nothing does the trick
it's a 2 piece thingand dont ask me why but it need to be 2 pieces
Nevermind it's the top view grid that was doing somehow a weird thing to it
actually it does that when the mesh is under 0 0 0.
any clue ?
dark jewel
When I generate a subdivided cube with greater than about 60,000 vertices, the mesh seems to break for some reason and have weird spots in it. The code I wrote for this has been run in monogame and godot and bot work properly. Is there any specific reason this would occur in Unity that I am not aware of?
maiden tangle
Try #💻┃code-beginner
Also would depend on what you mean by weird spots, unity is weird in many ways @dark jewel
severe sorrel
i hope im able to get the same result if i export from blender to unity
maiden tangle
@severe sorrel you will never get as good of a result comparing blenders rendering to a game engine, especially unity's
about as close as you'll get is post processing
but if you just want the thing exported and looking similar in terms of design sure, just export and import to unity throw it in a scene there you go. Unity can also import camera's and lighting, but they will be different than in your blender scene.
severe sorrel
For sure :D a simple image Export wont do it. Its sort of a mana bar and needs to be fully animated. But i will try my best to get close to it.
maiden tangle
I was referring to the model itself but if you need it animated yea that's out my league sorry, best of luck. 🙂

so i've downloaded this 3d model to use in my little prototype, but when viewing it in the 3d viewer after I downloaded it it is only white with no textures. There is a seperate folder with textures tho. will i have to open up the model 3d modeling program like blender to assign the textures or can i just to that in unity?
rapid echo
@eager mist You can assign textures in Unity also. You can either create new material and assign texture through it or check if the model already has a material. Click the model and see if there is a material assigned to it in Unity editor inspector properties. You will then need to browse to the texture and assign it. Diffuse or in Albedo slot.
eager mist
ok thank you @rapid echo

Hi all, so this is my model I textured in it substance painter. When i import it in unity i got this uv seams and color difference problem, but when i import it in unreal engine 4 there is no seams or color diff. everything works perfectly. I didn't know how to fix it in unity. I'm trying to fix it like 2 days and i couldn't do it. Thanks for the help 😄https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/253401156250763264/760971335920123924/unknown.png
it should look like this, (in unreal it look like this but in unity its not)
red pecan
@night barn well thats probable because... you know, unreal and unity, big difference
night barn
@red pecan Yeah i know, but isn't there anything i can do about this
viral sluice
@night barn well thats probable because... you know, unreal and unity, big difference
@red pecan That is not what he is asking.
We all know that there is a difference between Unity and Unreal, they use different rendering engines. That's normal.
The problem we have is that one of the legs reacts different to lightning for some reason. The reason why my friend mentioned Unreal is that we tried to test the model and textures in Unreal to see if we get the same result with the hope of finding if this is due to a wrong application on our side.
When we saw that it worked just fine on Unreal we believed this might be due to regarding the export of the Substance painter for HDRP.
This is the screenshot of the leg we are talking about. Check the left leg, it reacts completely different to the lightning compared to the right leg
And this is only happening on the legs, all the other parts of the textures works just fine on both sides.
Here is an another picture, one side of the UV Seams reacting completely to the lightning but they are both part of the same material.

As you can see light reflection shouldn't just cut out like that. Any help regarding our issues will be appreciated ^^ we have been hitting rock bottom because of this problem for almost 3 days

@night barn @viral sluice i have no idea how you are exporting or importing models / materials but perhaps try the substance for unity plug-in if you haven't already.

@night barn did you make the mesh in unity it's self or blender because if you did it in unity then you should download blender, it's free and you can model meshes in it to have a good graphic texture.

@viral sluice Maybe your normals are messed up. You could try resetting the normals in blender, or turning "double sided geometry" on.

@simple ivy no worries, the way I've done is to go to the projects directory (default is documents > unity projects I believe?) might be just in documents, but anyway you find the project directory > Assets and that's everything from scripts to models and textures, you can probably salvage more like project settings too from before Assets I don't risk it though and go fresh

How can make a screen in unity, like an in-game computer screen?
cunning thistle
you use a render texture
Basically you have a dedicated camera to look at the "other things the screen should show"
and set this said camera to render to a texture
once it's a texture you can apply it to any material
and use it on a flat surfaced like a quad or curved plane

right, sorry, just meant to make sure i was in the right place
i have a simple model of a minecraft chest with two animations, which are separate actions, in blender
i've managed to import it into unity as far as model and textures go, but the animations only seem to contain the one on the timeline instead of both actions
maybe worth mentioning is that i'm importing as .blend
i've also tried importing as .fbx, which does show both animations (albeit it breaks them up into pieces for each object in the scene) but seems to apply some weird transforms i don't really understand to one of the objects; i'd rather import as .blend if it's possible

idk why, you need to wait for other one. Sorry!

you might need substance painter
But it's not needed if you know how to paint the textures directly in photoshop or another image editing software
So yeah, look up UV mapping in Blender

Model your character in T-pose (makes it easier for rigging) -> UV map it -> Rig -> Export

flint hull
Any possible fixes for this issue where parts of the model (and eventually the whole thing) disappears when the camera zooms in on it? This seems to only happen with a new model I exported to it via Blender.
cunning thistle
Change your camera's near clipping plane to a smaller value
It might have to do with the model scale, if you are exporting it and it's too small in the world I can see why the near clipping would cause issues
flint hull
Well there's others models in the game that's virtually identical in scale that don't have those issues, so idk about that
late surge
@cunning thistle I'm working with Komodo to resolve this dilemma, would it be okay if I DM you to ask further questions about the near clip plane? We tried adjusting it but are still having the same issue, and I'd like to be able to chat further about this 🙂
frozen vault
ignore the "active windows thing"
cunning thistle
@late surge You can just share screenshots and continue asking in this channel tbh
late surge
Okay! One sec I'll get some screenshots!
Okay, I'm ready! So, our team is using Blender to make a new 3D model for the game; When the camera gets too close, clothing parts and eventually the model disappears and just vanish from sight when the camera is too close, even like a meter or two away.
Turning on "Update When Offscreen" in the skinned mesh renderers fixes it, but that is costly performance wise, so we don't want to do that (And we have not needed to use it in the past)
Also, the issue of disappearing clothing parts happens even when not in game: It happens when adjusting Muscle Settings in the Unity Editor too.
I'm going to send 4 images: The first 2 images are pictures of previous models that have no problem and work fine. The second 2 images will be of the current model with the issue:
Previous Female Model: Works fine, no issue
Previous Male Model: Works fine, no disappearing issue
These next two are of the current model where we are experiencing the issue of disappearing clothing and model parts:
Current model with issue: Far away, you can see all clothing and parts
Same Model, Same Screen: Clothing, hair, and other parts disappear as you look at it closer. All parts disappear eventually if you get close enough.
For the last 2 images, I didn't do anything special: I was just in the muscle settings editor, and I zoomed in to look closer, and parts start vanishing from view.
@cunning thistle Do you have any idea why this may be happening, and how to fix it? I think it is blender/model-editing side, since it happens in the Unity Editor even in just settings menus like this.
Or does anyone else have any ideas either? Thank you so much for any help you can give 😄 !!

Sorry to say this but I have no idea what could be causing that issue, it's unrelated to what I thought it was at first and I haven't experienced this myself

Question. Is this one way to go about with UV where I want one texture file for multiple objects or is this absolutely botched?
I manually arranged them so the pixels don't look weird as I texture paint them in blender.
I'm planning to use a 1024x1024 texture file
cloud latch
Well if that object has the same uv map then the different textures should work
Also you might want to apply the mirror modifier and uv unwrap properly if you’re texturing be object
shut hinge
oh. Ummm. I kinda selected all of the objects so it appeared like that but that's several objects.
It does have a Mirror modifier for the necessary ones.
And how do I unwrap this properly?
cloud latch
Oh I miss read the question and didn’t noticed there isn’t a mirror modifier , well in order to have a single texture file for all the different objects you will mees to set the same single material to all the objects and that’s pretty much it
cloud latch
Yes ! That’s how most games are made instead of having multiples textures and materials for a single mesh you can have a single one and apply all the textures to an specific are
You can do that by vertex painting the models and using a 3D texturing software like substance painter but you can also use photoshop or gimp to make the textures but it’s hard that way
shut hinge
I see. I see. Thanks for the responses. Got a clear direction now.

anyone have a clue how to fix his face? His normals seemed normal (ha get it) in blender but got weird once I exported to unity
also I know there are some wonky things but I'm fixing those

@rose ember make sure your character in blender has no open seams in their skin, extra verts, etc. it looks like they do to me
rose ember
yeah I figured it out
taht was the problem
I was using the mirror modifier
and I turned off clipping for some reason and forgot to turn it back on before i applied it

Its a fps but the characters r 3d. My question is, i keep seeing the side of my character as shown when ever i look to the side (its a test character drawing)

@coral hemlock you 3D model?

@thorny wasp I've been known to, but I'm not like...good or anything
thorny wasp
i er, im not touching blender, i hate 3D modelling. Is it possible you could help me out? Just adding armaturte to this book so it can open/close?
coral hemlock
send the model over? If I feel like I can do it in a few minutes then maybe
if you look at the geometry though, i'm not sure it'll look good 'fully' closed

I have a proble with my mesh collider. I made a cube with rounded edges in blender, but when I create a Mesh collider it's a normal cube or the flat surfaces aren't flat
Why isn't Unity creating Mesh Colliders which actually fit my Mesh
rocky sonnet
Is there any way to scale the vertices in blender relatively to their position on one axis. For instance, XZ scale * input value * Y Position
So vertices that are higher would naturally end up further outwards
coral hemlock
@rocky sonnet Funnily enough, I asked the same thing a while ago and couldn't find an answer. I'm sure you could script something to do it for you, but short of that the best I found was using proportional editing with a large radius
rocky sonnet
@coral hemlock I just got an answer on stackexchange. The suggestion is to use the Simple Deform -> Taper modifier which does just that.
Thank you for the suggestion as well

ok so
I have an fbx file with animatinos

Hi! I’m thinking about using a 3d modeler for making my game character... should I use Umodeler or blender to make a realistic one?
final granite
blender seems like more viable option, but in the end it all comes down to which one are you more comfortable with

@final granite Ok, thx! Hmmm... any tutorials recommended for making 3d characters?

Hello guys,
I'm using URP and changed all of shader to URP-Lit.Everything is prefect in scene menu till to play button.Some material turns again pink color.
I set URP preset in project settings.
OK.I found my issue.Unity version has been bug which is 2019.4.1f1. I moved my project to latest version of 2019.4.12f1 and fixed.

Hi, I'm modeling a simple wall with a bricks texture using a shader which supports displacement in URP. The shader is doing awesome work on the surfaces, but the edges of the model are split. I understood , that this is a common problem in displacement, due to vertex normal showing different directions, but I merged and smoothed them in blender to face that issue and heavily increased the vert / face count to round up the edges even more (which made result much better).
However, the edge split still is visible and annoying. I'm just wondering, if I do something completely wrong in preparing the model or can add additional workflow steps to change it to the better.
This was the result I could get so far (note the edges split apart) with already smoothed, merged normals and increased vert count (already 4k on that simple model)

Hey people, is anyone here familiar with Blender? I'm trying to do some light editing of a model I bought and I want to be able to select a... Hmm.. how to describe it? It's like apart of the mesh but at the same time the geometry isn't connected. I know there is a selection type in 3DS Max that just allows you to do this... in fact there is one inside Pro Builder as well but I'm not sure what it's called.
I think it might be the 'Select Object' tool in 3DS Max
eager mist
You can connect objects(2 separate ones) into just one by pressing ctrl + j
lone bough
That isn't what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to select an object that is apart of a mesh.
eager mist
left click on it? is the model one object or multiple?
lone bough
Here's an example, this is a part of the mesh where the faces are separated from the rest of it. Here is the front.
And here is the back showing that it's disconnected from the rest of the mesh.
In other 3D programs I'd be able to select it as a whole. I'd like to know how to do that in Blelnder
That is select just these separated faces not the entire mesh.
glacial vector
That's the sub-object selection in 3ds Max
lone bough
Ah, thanks @glacial vector . Do you know how to do that in Blender?
lone bough
Hmm... doesn't appear to be working.
glacial vector
it does for me
lone bough
Wait, you just hover your mouse over it and press L?
lone bough
It looks like it just selected that one face though
glacial vector
In my image?
lone bough
Yea
glacial vector
No, the white one is just the one that was selected last
all the green faces are selected
they are both grey
lone bough
Hmm... ok. Doesn't seem to be working for me though. When I try to move it around it's just that one face.
glacial vector
Try selecting one and then ctrl+L
lone bough
Oh, there we go!
Thanks @glacial vector
I don't supposes there are any extensions or anything like that that makes it closer to how 3DS Max works?
rose ember
I have a 3D movement system in my game
I have a Vector called input
it takes in Horizontal and Vertical axes
input = new Vector2(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
I want it to be based on thedirection the camera is facing
so that he always moves based on the cameras direction
anim.SetFloat("Horizontal", input.x);
anim.SetFloat("Vertical", input.y);
here's my current movement code
it uses animation based movement
how do I adjust this to apply for the camera's rotation?
I know I should be using it's forward transform or something
but I can't figure out how to use it right
hollow rampart
i'm working on a project with cards (CCG, like Magic), and there's a frequent card flip animation that takes place.
Right now it's just a quad with front/back textures.
I'm wondering if it would look more realistic if I added some small depth to the card
If I do that, I'm not sure how to handle the radius of the curved corners... Is there some "bevel this box's corners to match the alpha on the texture" thing?
Or do I need to model out something in blender first with a matching corner radius?
rose ember
I've never done this before
but
what I would do is
I would model a card in blender
and UV unwrap it
and then just make a texture for each card that can be applied easily
and in code you could just wrap the texture onto the uv
but to answer your question
I would just bevel it in blender
and then export it

azure dirge
I think this is the chat I gotta ask this (sry if I'm wrong)
the texture of my floor needs to be these tiles
but on this same path the upper horizontal line disappears after I go more to the right in my scene
there are even some weird lines showing up where the horizontal black line has completely disappeard
the texture is being projected as triplanar
so I am very confused about how this works and how to fix this
maiden tangle
@azure dirge why not just use standard shader?
trying to line a grid up perfectly with triplanar will be hell
if you have a slope on a cliff, and want the side to be dirt for example, the top to be grass you'd use triplanar
a basic one will be messy but because it's used mostly for organic shapes it all can blend well especially with noise
azure dirge
oh alright

What sizes on the UV map do you guys use for the main character? A game that should be able to run on mobile.

my android game looks yellowish on my Samsung Galaxy A6+. I checked on my father's Redmi phone, it looks exactly like i made it in unity editor. I checked night light option in my phone, it was turned off and everything else (photos, videos and other games) looks fine. Only my game looks yellowish on my phone. Its fine on other android phones. Anybody know how to solve it?

flint hull
So, I have a character with some objects attached to it that seem to be disappearing in the game when viewed at certain positions, and I found it's because they aren't staying within the boundary box under the skinned mesh renderer. Like here, the whole character just drops down into it when I view the Muscles & Settings menu, and I can't edit the parameters to make it stay over the objects consistently. Only thing that keeps it from happening is if "Update When Offscreen" is selected, which we don't want. Didn't help changing the origin points of each object, either. I also thought of merging them all into one object, but since the clothes at least are meant to be changeable, they should probably stay separate objects. Any other options?

@magic acorn LWRP? you'll want to install a newer version of Unity with URP to start out with. It's not an embarrassing question, though. URP still needs work with improving shadow quality settings, it's a known issue and on the roadmap to be resolved relatively soon. So you aren't the only one.
azure ether
@magic acorn you're welcome. here are some related resources. if you have further questions on this matter i recommend trying the #archived-lighting or #archived-hdrp channels

@eager mist
I believe your need a shader that allows it. Maybe add multiple materials on the mesh renderer.

you could also make a single material and then apply textures to an specific area in the UVs its quite easy with substane painter

@magic acorn make sure you generate lighting
or shadows will be completely black

to switch whats on the screen of the model?
because you can just make a animated texture for something like that

I want to change images on the screen, how do I do that?

with an animation on the model
or if you want the player to be able to actually use the computer just make a gui
