@maiden tangle yes bro I made the problem in the tutorials is no one is teaching for universal render pipeline but I changed one I found for HDRP according to my needs and it works fabulas
dim sable
And in unity there are modeling tools?
maiden tangle
@dim sable there are some asset store addons but, no not really beyond basic blocking out like "Probuilder" which unity acquired recently and is available free in the package manager.
I suggest you check out blender for actual modeling of characters or props, it's also free and will import into unity perfectly fine

I'm using Rounded Rectangle in shader graph with radius set.
Height and width are equal as it's being used as a texture mask.
The final surface rendering is actually a rectangle, 1x1.4, so the corner radius of the Rounded Rect ends up getting stretched vertically.
Is there a way to address this so the final corner radius is uniform?
I'm shrinking one texture inside another and preserving dimensions. It seems I have to use a shader graph shape. I can't seem to use a texture as a mask since there's no way to disable tiling (Tiling and Offset gets the size correct without distorting border radius, but repeat tiling defeats the purpose of using it as a mask)

Uv unwrapping?
maiden tangle
@eager mist like you have a checkered floor and want the pattern to repeat because it's too large?
if not just look up a youtube tutorial on uv unwrapping
if you want the texture to tile more though adjust that in the material
eager mist
lemme just get an image and itll say more
how do i get the texture size(compression?) to be the same without individually change each object's tiling
@maiden tangle
maiden tangle
@eager mist looks like you want a world space shader, so the tiling will be the same regardless of object
(uv free, using world space position)
I know there are some examples of this on google.
eager mist
so from the name im guessing it applies the texture using the world instead of only the object
maiden tangle
exactly
it won't care about uv's, the issue though while the object moves the texture will try to remain the same to it's position in the world
so you can have like a scrolling effect (of the same size) texture moving
so more for static objects, like environment pieces so on
sullen plank
And rotations as well will be problematic.
If you want simple geometry with consistent UVs you can use ProBuilder to resize them, instead of scaling
eager mist

Hi guys, I am building a battle scene for mobile with 10 characters fighting each other in it.

Has anyone ever run into issues in Unity when procedurally creating meshes, and the mesh just DOESN'T draw occasionally? The triangles and vertices are correct.

Hi all! I'm developing an Android app, and using a Canvas + 3d models. Inside Unity everything looks great, but on my actual phone (Pixel 3) I see the void background.

Noob question here but. Do you guys make your levels inside Unity with assets you have created? Or is it possible to make the whole level in for example, Blender? And then export it? My guess is that it is not so size effective etc?
muted relic
You can do, But I personally think its much better to make levels with peices inside of Unity, that way they are easier to adjust and refine. @eager mist
@eager mist transferring the textures over would be messier as well probably.
eager mist
ahh, so like exporting a whole thing like this from Blender (And then add trees and stuff in Unity), you would not recommend? Appreciate all input!!
Like building it up where every stair section for example is an instance. But for example the floor is not.
glacial vector
Honestly, both approaches work and you can do what you like best. It's common in game dev to do blockouts in engine, and then gradually replace it with 3D assets later on
But some studios, like naughty dog, create their entire levels within maya and have scripts to import that into engine

I'm playing around with Unity 2020.2b, is there a way to achieve a decal that modify a mesh (I think I should be looking at shaders but I'm unsure if unity has this functionality already implemented in an efficient manner). What I'm trying to achieve is erosion of surfaces reusing the same base asset.
Lets say I have this asset (not mine, random image from google)
and want to achieve this
I'm unsure if this is the right channel to ask, if not please tell me so I remove the messages

A shader doesn't sound right. I think you could try making a mesh with some visible noise and just add a boolean off of that. This is just my lazy "shut up and work" method.

When doing a Handrail , how many faces should it have at a minimum to appear round? (for a first person shooter, so pretty close to camera)
cunning thistle
the cylindrical part? anything above 8 with soft edges
But only you can tweak it
you have to compare and see how many looks good enough while being the minimum necessary
What I'm trying to say is that there is not a magical number, if it looks good with n sides then go for it.

A good idea is to lookup for vertex normals, you can achieve some smoothing effect by properly instructing the lightning model

@pine trellis you'll need to vonvert the normal map to height/displacement, subdivide the model enough to hold gbe detail, and project thr heightmap onto it. You will probably need some manual editing as well, since normal maps don't really translate directly to height well.

onyx tartan
hey all, any suggestions on blender to unity workflow? Particularly for many models in the same file? Do you use collections then bulk export? Or just select each model and export to fbx one-by-one?
one model per blender file feels like a super hard workflow for keeping model styles consistent, but manually exporting fbx one-by-one feels super tedious to update.
I kinda feel a bit like I'm taking crazy pills... I've watched and read dozens of tutes and articles about how to export fbx, but no-one actually talks about how to set up a good workflow for lots of models across a project, and it feels like it should be the main workflow.
maiden tangle
@onyx tartan I'm not really sure the best way, but I do know I'm working with lots of moving parts in my scene, an interior to be specific with all its individual items.
When I want to make a change, I edit the object then save all objects (not a collection mind you, maybe that's better), and it overwrites in my scene even with changes to their positions etc
hasn't really been an issue for me
edit > save > see results in your already assigned positions/rotations feels pretty standard

@spice venture u figure out how to export > import?
save the image texture > import in case not

when you export the fbx it'll save uv's
(texture coords)
@spice venture nuked the light sorry what?
you have a chair fbx with a light inside it when you import it to unity, when you delete the light the chair disappears ?
first of all make sure you are selecting "selection only" on export, so you're not saving your entire blender scene
I know of no circumstance where deleting a light would destroy the mesh.. so you must have deleted the prefab as well, or it's something with your hierarchy
fluid oak
The mesh could have been a child of the light?
(When you delete an item everything parented to it is deleted as well.)

Is it recommended to create all models in a single blender scene or use separate blender projects?

Doesn't matter, creating each on their own scene would be better for organization purposes, though.
But that's for characters or things with animation.
For simple static models, you could use just a single scene.

So I'm completely stumped on an issue happening with a simple model. I'm using Maya, Substance Painter, and Unity, while also testing in Blender and Second Life of all things, and I'm not even sure where or who to ask, but here goes... I modeled a jug. Here it is in Maya with an albedo https://gyazo.com/d7f63d683689d1c64127be5921d468f5 This albedo texture was made in Substance Painter and exported using unity standard metallic settings, so it looks the same in Maya and Substance. I also imported it into Second Life and it looks exactly the same, but in both Unity and in Blender, the textures come out stretched like this https://gyazo.com/f0afeaceefd93396d092fdbe6f25d9d4 <Unity< Does anyone know what is going on? I'm mostly worried that if I do a more complex model and it's for a client, this kind of issue will hurt me in the future. Also, I've never seen such a huge inconsistency between an albedo applied in various programs before. It looks fine in 3 programs I've tried, but equally awful in 2. Any ideas?

Hello my questions gents
im total nub at materials and textures
i have 4k textures (i think)
but i think i dont need that resolution, its a low poly game. currently i use their tiling option as 0.1 (is this too much or not enough?)
my question is whether is it bad idea performance wise?
heres how it looks
im not sure if its how it should be. its 4k metal and wood textures with tiling set to 0.1

oh ok, seems its better to leave tiling setting at its default. now the question is if 4k texturs it not too much for performance? does unity optimize this depending on game quality setting?
fooling with few 4k textures uses max of my gpu

there is no "merge" in terms of the geometry actually merging permanently, you would need to program it / get an asset for it / use an external tool like blender

Is there a way to make unity see the mesh already placed in the world as collectible I've made a cave and need the walls and such to be solid objects... Am I using the mesh colder or just mark it as static and that does it?
Ping me in responses plz
maiden tangle
@coarse tiger I'm not sure exactly what you're asking
''Is there a way to make unity see the mesh already as collectible''
That is you programming it.
''Ive made a cave and need the walls to be solid"
Use a mesh collider

@timid totem How do you know how to make games without knowing how to code?
Hey guys, I'd like to make my own 3d models (because (a) I don't like having to rely on already created work and (b) I don't want to pay to get the quality I want).
My problem is, that I don't have the freetime to get good at blender, but I want results quickly. (Honestly, I'd rather write the model data by hand than to use an editor. I know it's dumb, but that I can at least do right now. 😁 )
I'd like to animate the model myself using code or have the animations premade and adjusted during runtime, if possible.
Can you recommend a simple program to create a model and rig it?

@buoyant bolt if you want high quality results you need to invest either time or money. There are no shortcuts to get what you want. As for parametric model creation the best program for this would be Houdini, but it has a pretty high barrier to entry. For characters you could consider a service like MakeHuman

mystic scaffold
Evening! I'll be honest, I am NOT an art guy. I have a little bit of experience in Blender.. I'm wondering if anyone has the time/patience to guide me through getting started on a project I have in mind.
I've acquired a 3D model of a book, my dream is to have this book open, then be able to cycle through.. maybe 10 pages, that I hope to animate with 2D sprites like a pop up book.
My limitations right now are related to the manipulation of the single book object that I have. At very least I need to cut it in such a way as to make the buckle on the book free moving, and to allow the cover to open (pages can be 2D assets added as I make them, I assume)..
Any input is appreciated. All my time has been spent building in 2D Unity, but I figured I would challenge myself by making these as Christmas presents.
facepalm see? lol
harsh fjord
i take emphasis on low poly, the key to making it look good is Texturework and nothing else
maiden tangle
@mystic scaffold the model itself aside, if you are wanting to separate the mesh pieces, select the vertices you want to be separate and press 'p'
then in object mode you will see it's a different object, which can then be animated
mystic scaffold
@maiden tangle Thanks for the reply! I managed to cut 'er up. I think in terms of animation, I'm going to load these pieces as separate objects in Unity and use DOTWEEN to transform them based on 'page turns'
maiden tangle
I would also suggest not to think of it as having to animate 10 or so pages, but have a single or a couple good animations of the paper flip, that can be used for infinite page flips
mystic scaffold
given my pop up book design, I don't need the pages to be bendy - so just using transforms on stiff planes should be good for purpose.
rose ember
I'm making a third person character and I don't know how to make it so the feet can be at different levels and like bend the knees and stuff
anyone know how to do that well?
frigid hull
Idk how to implement it into unity, but what you are looking for are called "inverse kinematics"
rose ember
yes
I have the IK working for my feet rotations and positions
but for some reason I can't figure out how to offset the position if one is higher than the other
like if he's on a slope, both feet are at the same height
when realistically one should be lower and his knee on that leg will bend
frigid hull
As I said, I have no idea how unity handles that, best thing you can do is look for a tutorial

@eager mist Most likely Blender and youtube, as ive been learning unity through youtube, ive seen hundreds of simple low poly blender videos.

well, alrght. But i see most vids have sketches of their character before they make them. it seems like its reccomeneded to make learn how to make sketches which I am not the best artist.And blender seems quite complicated, but guess I have no other choice.
thanks
tropic idol
you dont NEED to have the sketch, its just a guide tool, and blender isnt all that hard to grasp, back in highschool, my sophomore year I knew a guy who used it for roughly a week and was making like 10 different models for his Computer class back to back, I guarantee you'll pick it up fast.

Howdy!
so uhhhh this might be a very dumb question but
How would I go about editing a humanoid 3D model's face without messing up the animations
would I move the armature around?
or would I just edit the face mesh
here's the unaltered mesh
and here's how i'd like to alter his eyelids/eye shape (same on both sides i was just too lazy to draw the shape on both eyes)
here's the version with the armature
if you need anymore information, just ask, and i can provide!
if messing up the animations on the face is unavoidable, then i'd just like to know how i could fix/minimize the damage altering the face mesh would result in.
raven tide
you can't really, without rebinding the rig
green nimbus
shoot
raven tide
you could, POTENTIALLY, move those verts down
but it won't animate properly after that
is it an fbx?
green nimbus
yeah
and i plan on doing more changes than just the eyes later on, so i'd probably have an easier time just rebinding the rig
which i have no idea how to do
so that uhhh says something about the difficulty level there, lol
i'm assuming i'd make my mesh changes first and then rebind the rig
raven tide
yes
green nimbus
so i'll get started on that
and i guess come back later for help when i need to fix the rig
thank you for informing me though!
raven tide
I'm not entirely familiar with blenders workflow for rigging, but its a pretty complex thing
but not impossible. Just time consuming with painting weights etc.
green nimbus
yeah
at least my drawing tablet can pick up the slack for certain aspects of sculpting overall
green nimbus
yeah
raven tide
yeah that complicates things then.
raven tide
yes
green nimbus
alright just checking because i've confused the names of programs and features with other things before
you know how it is sometimes
raven tide
like if only his head was supposed to move and nothing else, you could probably move the eyelids and the rig would be able to drive it in unity ok
green nimbus
if i rerigged his face, i'm assuming the animation would make his eyes clip or stretch a little?
depending on the shape difference compared to the original, that is
raven tide
yes most likely
because the animations are baked expecting each vertex to be in certain spots at certain times
green nimbus
alright, that's not as bad as my worst case scenario
which was that it wouldn't play the animation, period
raven tide
do you have the entire rig and character? or just fbx's of it?
raven tide
like you could create new animations if you wanted with the controls and stuff provided
green nimbus
i got the model off the unity assets store as a placeholder and i was hoping to make it a slightly less terrible looking placeholder
raven tide
is it free?
green nimbus
yep
raven tide
which one? I can take a closer look maybe
green nimbus
taichi character pack i believe
lemme grab the link for ya
another concern i have is that the mesh change might mess up the textures, but that'd be an easier fix, so i don't really mind as much for that one
raven tide
yeah thats easy, you just have to realign the uvs
raven tide
all hinges on what you can do with the .fbx's though. Since fbxs are baked you may need to noodle some stuff
raven tide
which file did you open?
green nimbus
fbx
specifically uh
one sec i'll screenshot it
this guy in the legacy models folder
raven tide
ok
so it looks like they didn't include the actual rig they use to animate the character with
green nimbus
haha.... oh no
raven tide
so you'd have to just move stuff, safe the new .fbx, and try and assign some anims and see what happens.
green nimbus
oh dear
raven tide
yeah
green nimbus
i knew what i was getting into with a free model but good lord
raven tide
well them including the base model and rig would be bad for business. They'd be giving away all their work isntead of products they make with it
green nimbus
fair enough
well shoot
is there just no way i can rerig this model then? or could i do some sort of magic houdini shit to pull the rig out of one of these files?
raven tide
you'd have to rig it yourself, unless I just cant see where they left the file but I only see .fbxs
but if you rigged it yourself, you would have to do all your own anims
raven tide
they should, his eyelids will probably just get some crashing
green nimbus
the animations that come with this are also meant to just be placeholders, so it isn't a huge loss if they work weirdly, but if they don't work at all, then i'm a bit screwed
raven tide
of the geo, not the app
green nimbus
alright that's good, i can cope with that
as long as he isn't t-posing across the map, then it should be fine
raven tide
if its just placeholders i wouldn't bother, it'll be more of a headache than its worth. Or at least just do the eyelids and leave it at that, any major changes to .fbx's isn't really a useful workflow
green nimbus
since the company won't sue me for using their model as a base to alter, i'll probably end up using it for the demo, so i'm probably gonna use it for a decent amount of the game's development
the animations will probably last until i can get replacements, which will also be awhile, but should be replaced before the demo
raven tide
yeah that should be fine
Before you go to far I'd stop at the eyelids and test some of the anims before going any further
green nimbus
aite
i've already messed with his chin a bit, but that shouldn't really mess up anything
and it was relatively low effort, so if everything crashes somehow, then no biggie.
here's hoping it works, with maybe just some minor clipping at worst.
raven tide
godspeed!
green nimbus
thanks!
oh wait, quick side note, i'm definitely gonna have to mess with the armature at some point, aren't i
raven tide
I dont think you can even if you wanted to
all the fbx's are just baked bones, so you dont have access to it
all you can do, I think, is save out a new base pose fbx and assign the anims to that and see what happens
green nimbus
i mean, blender's showing me the armature to mess with, it just happens to move around the mesh with it
raven tide
can you edit it though?
green nimbus
yeah i've moved it around a bit before undoing any edits
raven tide
interesting
green nimbus
so there's the hope that i can possibly do something with that
raven tide
potentially. I wouldn't count on it, but I guess its possible
usually you need the base rig and to bake out anims to .fbx
green nimbus
ya know,,,, the worst part about this is that i can't tell if the animations aren't working because of my shitty programming or because i changed his mesh
i'm gonna double check that real quick because last time i had this open, he looped the same idle animation no matter what he did
like he slid around the environment doing this idle animation and nothing else
but now he's just t-posing
hm
yeah no it's the mesh
the other, unaltered models work just fine in the viewer, but he just doesn't move
shhhhhhhhhit
i'm totally boned
is there no way i can rig him to get the OG animations to work with his new mesh?
@raven tide
eager mist
that 3d model looks good tho
green nimbus
thanks
eager mist
i wish i could help but im mainly 2d
raven tide
they may be auto attaching based on the naming conventions
raven tide
what did you name it?
green nimbus
I gave the new model the same name as the old one.
raven tide
if you save the fbx that you edited, you can select one of the animations in unity and in the preview window under the little green dude, change the select an "other" avatar and pick the model you just did
green nimbus
made sure to place it in the same folder too
i'm not sure i understand?
oh wait i see it now
he's still t-posing
shootttt
meanwhile the unaltered models using the same animation are like this
raven tide
when you edited it did you only move vertices or did you delete and add faces as well?
green nimbus
i just moved the vertices and used the draw tool to sculpt his chin a bit
nothing else, as far as i know
raven tide
interesting
green nimbus
maybe i deleted something on accident? although i doubt it
raven tide
on the model, if you go to "rig", are the settings on that the same as the one you saved?
green nimbus
uhhh lemme check
raven tide
i.e. set to humanoid and all that
green nimbus
i totally forgot where the rig area is
raven tide
should be in the inspector area when you select the fbx
raven tide
k im gonna try something quick
huh. I'm getting the same thing. I guess you need the original rig
sorry man.
I do this stuff in other programs so unity probably just does it differently
green nimbus
crap
guess i'll have to make placeholder animations
and rig the entire thing from scratch
oof
raven tide
but then youd have to do all new anims anyway
green nimbus
yeah, i was gonna hafta make new anims eventually, might as well do it now
or at least after i finish altering the model
btw i was using a really outdated version of blender before this, and they definitely changed the vertice tools
how do i add a new vertice on a line with two other vertices
i wanna add vertices on the lines, where the red dots are, and then connect all the red dots across
but i have no idea how to do so in the latest version of blender
does anyone know how?
i probably should've clarified that i was asking for help earlier

Select all faces and use Ctrl + Shift + 'N' to call recalculate normals. If the mesh is not malformed it will figure out which ones should look outside

Your normals are inverted 🥴
Try manually adjusting the faces individually with backface

I'm on mobile currently, if you youtube "blender fix inverted normals" and nothing helps I'll make you a sandwich @frail flame
river onyx
you can view Face orientation by enabling the "Face Orientation" in the Viewport Overlay (the 2 circles at the top right).
Blue means it faces outward, Red is inward.
If you have faces that are red(on the outside of your Model), switch to edit mode, select them and do "alt"+"n". and select flip.
That should work

@frail flame apply transforms of the mesh and then recalculate your normals

If recalculating doesn’t work then you have to ctrl a and apply transforms
And then ctrl shift n to recalculate normals
If you wanna see if backface is happening, then go to the drop right and enable it

raven tide
@golden berry not sure about dodgeball specifically, I think the best way is to learn the specific things you need to know to build the game, instead of just a walkthrough in building exactly what you need. Like start with a tutorial on getting characters to throw things. Then move onto one that teaches you how to do health and OnCollision functions and stuff.

unfortunately unity is a lot like maya, in the sense that if someone said "i want to model a dragon breathing fire on a helicopter but I've never modeled before"
you'd be like "...start smaller, or find tutorials to build the fundamentals kind of thing"
unity is the same. No magic buttons, but you'll be much happier in the long run if you learn how things work and how they affect each other instead of just following one tutorial
its way more fun too!

I'm pretty new at Blender and am having a weird issue when importing a model, wherein the normals look correct in Blender but in Unity some faces don't seem to properly occluded.

I am truly mystified, I recreated the model in blender, it's just a cube with 2 faces extruded, solidified, and recalculated normals for good measure. Then imported into unity with default settings. Looking at the imported mesh it looks fine too.
just kind of figured it out. Had something to do with how I merged the geometry I think. Not merging it at all leads to proper outcomes within unity. Still mystified by why but I'm happy that there's a solution.
or maybe having materials that use the "fade" rendering mode
It's definitely using fade that is the problem. Is there a way of making a material translucent other than using the fade rendering mode?

I'm not far enough with my efforts for having had to deal with transfering material from blender to unity yet. Pretty sure you can bake all sorts of Maps (in Cycles) but I was planning to do the final shader-stuff exclusively in unity.
prisma lintel
it's actually a unity made material, just applied to the imported blender asset

Anyone here has any experience with building custom shpaes etc ?
granite fossil
Cell fractured object, exported as obj -> import to unity and it shows the object is fractured but the parent/children aren't showing the pieces. ("untitled" in hierarchy is the cube). Am I missing a step to show each of the fractured pieces as children of this object? https://i.imgur.com/FbnHDab.png
river onyx
did you separate the Pieces into separate Objects in Blender?
granite fossil
It even looks correct in unity (the model), just for some reason the hierarchy isn't set up correctly to show all of the pieces. For example, this is how the pieces should look in unity https://i.imgur.com/2cojth3.png

@sullen radish Unless you're keen to use Blender, or are experienced in some other 3D CC tool like Maya or 3DSMax, you need to use ProBuilder in Unity maybe:
sullen radish
is ProBuilder tough to use?

I tried 3d modeling for the first time on ZBrush. It's not nice, but still the first.
crimson flint
ok so i downloaded a weapon off of https://devassets.com/assets/modern-weapons/ and i have it in my folders but it wont let me import it in unity anybody know why?
sullen plank
You need to show at least what you are trying to import
crimson flint
like post the Model?
sullen plank
Type of file, some description. People can't read minds.
crimson flint
hmm good point

Looking up a tutorial how to import assets in Unity wouldn't go amiss as well.

i fucked up
i've got two separate blender files
one with the model with all the edits i want except i accidentally poked a hole in the hair mesh and undo won't let me fix it
and then i have another save of that model with none of my changes except an undamaged version of the hair i damaged in the file above
how do i replace the hair in the original???
i've tried copy pasting, merging meshes, everything seems to not be working
whenever i move the hair into the new model, the hair moves to the t-pose position while the rest of the model is animated
or it'll just sprawl out in this giant mess
like this
tame pond
taht is repulsive
green nimbus
yeah that's why i'm trying to fix it

Hey, me and my friend NightFormula858 are creating a 3D terraria styled videogame on UNITY and having trouble with making 3D models. Could anyone help create 3D models for us for free? Reply on this message so I can send you a friend request! Thanks, CodeUniverse012.
no?

Hey, I would recommend using Blender not Zbrush!

((weird artifacts in the recorder sorry
Hey, I really like your style!
maiden tangle
thank you!
hearty sluice
thank you!
All good
hearty sluice
thank you!
Actually, thats the kind of style we want in our game, tht model would be a good elf/dwarf hey?

I'm not sure the original concept artist's idea but I can totally see it being an elf traveler of sorts, with the slight point to the shoes / scale 🙂
maiden tangle
Honored to be considered! I'm actually involved in multiple longer term projects as of late, if you want to dm a message regarding the project would love to have the chance in the future if it's still needing one, cheers 🙂

Honored to be considered! I'm actually involved in multiple longer term project...
Ours is considered a extra long project, hoping it to be released on STEAM
maiden tangle
my priority is hoping to launch steam as well, seems the place to be!
hearty sluice
Yeah, STEAM is awesome
Its called TREE-BOUND, its kinda gonna be like a 3D terraria! XD
maiden tangle
That sounds interesting (love terraria!), best of luck to you and your team. 🙂

Is someone able to help me to Fix my VRM model (Textures)
?
Because thats a bit wierd.

As imported into Unity.
You can see, despite this being 5thGen inspired, I've implemented HDR to a visible extent
And as you could tell, I'm going to ENJOY posing these models for promo art.

hey guys, do you know if a character with 4 fingers will still work as a humanoid rig?
limber meteor
🤷 3 fingers and a thumb? Well... Go for it. Just get rid of the excess.

yeah, thanks
acoustic marsh
how do move this origin to the center of my gameobject?
tardy dune
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this question. Was looking at the Puppet Master asset on the BOSS sale...does that provide mecanim animations? I bought some 3D humanoid assets from Polygon that didn't have animations included, and I'm wondering if the Puppet Master asset would help with that
eager mist
Hello if any one here advance at unity dm me
stoic crescent
hey guys do you think 340 triangles is to much for a fish in a stylized rpg that is supposed to swim in swarms of 10-20?
@acoustic marsh i am not sure if you can really change that origin in unity. the 3 ways i know of would be:
- use probuilder to create a probuildermesh and recenter it but maybe destroy it since probuilder is... weird (at least to me)
- create an empty gameobject and make this one a child of it
- load this gameoobject into a real modelling software like blender and center it there (would recommend this)
oh wait. i think my polycount for my fish question is wrong

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this question. Was looking at the Puppet...
I think that only gives you ragdoll stuff, you have to make animations yourself similar to Final IK
but I could be wrong, I'd check out the asset page
tardy dune
I saw it said ragdoll...and wasn't sure if that was different than the animations. Thank you!
stoic crescent
ah yes i did a dumb so i have to rephrase my question:
do you think 660 tris is to much for a fish in an 3rd person rpg that is supposed to swim in swarms of 10-20 sfishes making it a total of around 6-12k triangles
raw pecan
how can i combine the meshes to all the cubes of my terrain? (i got told to move here)
heres my code:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class TerrainGenerator : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject block;
public GameObject[] blocks;
public float freq;
public float amp;
public int cols;
public int rows;
void Start()
{
generateTerrain();
}
void Update()
{
}
void generateTerrain()
{
for (int x = 0; x < cols; x++)
{
for (int z = 0; z < rows; z++)
{
GameObject newblock = Instantiate(block);
float y = Mathf.PerlinNoise(x / freq, z / freq) * amp;
newblock.transform.position =
new Vector3(x, y, z);
}
}
}
}
- type this in pasta bin and send the link please
- isn't terrain merge a question for well Terrain channel?
raw pecan
im not using unity terrain
