Fog lights up dark places way too much, is there something i can do to it?

Hi so i want to use in blender the snap tool but i doesnt seem to work can someone help? Also if this channel is for Unity's 3D system i'll delete this message

it works now

[prime tree]

Excuse-me, I'm not sure where I should ask this, but I have a problem of render texture (set on a camera) not rendering on too small objects, anybody have an idea why? Or where I should ask this? Thanks!

[abstract terrace]

Would like some tips on this, I have made a model in Blender which I've generated an AO map for, it looks pretty good until I apply a base map to it which inevitable turns out to be the wrong scale in Unity, without AO, I can adjust the tiling be happy with it, but unfortunately, the tiling adjustment also messes with the AO map. Is there anyway to keep AO separate from the scaling? Right now my work around is to create a new texture rescaled in photoshop to match, which feels like a bad workaround. Thanks in advance.

[turbid wind]

hey guys

does anyone know how can i project text in an object in unity 3d

please help

[lucid cairn]

You need to create an Text 3d

I think:

Create -> 3d Object -> Text 3d

[swift estuary]

Highly recommend TextMeshPro over the built in TextMesh

[worn yarrow]

How can I allow a mesh to be read/write enabled? It is a mesh asset generated within Unity not external software

I'm changing it's colors via script and resaving it and somehow it's turning off read/write

[acoustic walrus]

anyone know where i can find full anthropometric measurements of a human? i'm trying to make a character model with realistic dimensions but i'm unable to find a comprehensive full body measurement.

[swift estuary]

Have you tried measuring yourself?

You have a perfectly good human just sitting there

[radiant hatch]

Download a rigged skeleton and build around that, they are close enough for AAA games

[abstract terrace]

go on blendswap and search for human, you'll find plenty rigged starting points

[acoustic walrus]

i'm trying to find an average

is there no resource for finding measurements of the average woman, man, etc?

also i'm not sure how i'd measure my head width or whatnot by myself lol

[swift estuary]

get a friend or loved one to do it. If you don't have one of those, I'm sorry.

[acoustic walrus]

so i'm guessing no one has data?

[swift estuary]

IDK I googled it

and found hundreds of sources for that info

[acoustic walrus]

i tried googling it but i couldn't find full info

[swift estuary]

how much detail do you need??

that seems pretty thorough

[acoustic walrus]

that's not enough

i need width depth and height for every part

[swift estuary]

just get an existing 3d model then

boom you're done

[acoustic walrus]

....

that's.. not what i'm looking for

an existing 3d model might not use real details

[swift estuary]

why does it need to be so realistic

[acoustic walrus]

i want to have a base set of data

[swift estuary]

and what does "every part" mean

[acoustic walrus]

fingers, toes, knees, thighs, abdomen, hip, chest, neck, etc

[swift estuary]

You probably won't find exactly what you want in exactly the form you want. You'll have to put the data together yourself from multiple sources

also remember every person is different.

And "averages" from every region of the world are different

[acoustic walrus]

yeah, i'm aware

[proper ruin]

I’m trying to make a FPS but I don’t know where to begin

[onyx lynx]

do you know how to write scripts in C#? @proper ruin

[proper ruin]

Nope

I planned on winging it like everyone else

Or like some people have

I’m already teaching myself how to use blender and I made a full polygonal character

I also started to rig the model, but rigging is rather hard so I’m taking my time with it

In the meantime I want to learn how to make levels and do stuff in unity

And I know there are block based alternatives then c# that can be used with unity but I’d rather learn c# because I could apply it to things other than games

I’ve grown tired of making terrible Mario platformer clones and intent on making a pve pvp game

I also modeled a basic gun and I’m starting to model a arm with a semi detailed hand, because from what I’ve seen some people just put a camera behind the hand

Instead of giving a character a full model

[wheat wraith]

Being a generalist is great, but I wouldn't suggest attempting to create everything from scratch while you're learning.
If you're setting out to make a game in Unity you'd be far better off utilizing free asset packs while learning to script, at least in my opinion 🙂

[proper ruin]

Well regardless I’m still going to have to learn how to make levels

[keen phoenix]

oh

what variable type is text

nevermind

[wanton hound]

anyone know how i can get rid of the ugly dark texture in the distance? it might be a problem with mipmapping or aniso filtering or something but ive tried tweaking those settings but nothing changed

i always figure out my issue right after i ask about it in this server lol

i fixed it and i needed to uncheck generate mipmaps in the import settings

[fluid oak]

@scenic fulcrum Yes. That looks like a totally standard material.

[scenic fulcrum]

but do you know how to get the same look i'm new working on unity

[fluid oak]

Just use a flat texture with point filtering and a matching normal map.

[scenic fulcrum]

this is with normal map and point filtering

[fluid oak]

I mean, the lighting and the texture is probably all you need to worry about

[long grail]

Can anyone help me with this? So I want to be able to change the offset of the texture in unity so that it looks like the conveyor belt is moving. I need the 2 big rings on the UV map (The sides of the top part of the belt) to be a straight line like the top part with the arrow on it

As seen in this picture I have made a seem but it doesn't want to budge

[karmic lion]

Hey guys, what is the best tool for making 3D game assets?

i have some past experience with blender but i wonder if there is something more suitable for making game assets

[outer halo]

Blender is perfectly fine for making assets.

The only limitation in any software is going to be your own skill level.

[eager mist]

idky my character is pink

[outer halo]

The material it came with was probably not made in the same render pipeline you're using.

Is this your own asset, or something you got off the internet?

[eager mist]

something from the internet lol... i was thinking maybe i can test somestuff on a character from internet and then create my very own charatcer

[outer halo]

Okay, well, create a new standard material and drop it on. You can reassign the textures it might have came with to that new material.

[eager mist]

ok sure and i have the materials seperately for tht character

so maybe i can drop em?

[outer halo]

Give it a try

[eager mist]

but they are like this

uh nope didnt work

I am going to try to make some textures with normal maps. What are some good tools for that? These are going to be used to make materials that I will apply to many different things.

When you defeat the enemy you will get the rocks from the enemy and use it to make weapons that will have the same rock material applied on them

I have a rig in blender with an animation on it that works, but when I export the armature and everything in it the animation doesn't work on the fbx in unity preview or in blender

After I exported the fbx the animation didn't play in blender, so I tried changing the pose in pose mode and I got this

[brave ravine]

I know next to nothing about Blender, but if you're using a rig to animate are you baking the animations when you export?

people don't like to work for free :?

[icy mauve]

I know :/

Its hard looking to have people do stuff . When I am unable to pay

It's a simple character

[maiden tangle]

why not simply make it yourself or learn to on youtube, it's free.. There are plenty of young learners posting their work in progress it's not an excuse

also you may not know it but it's borderline insulting asking someone who is a professional or has the capacity to work professionally (be paid) to spend their time working for you, without pay

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPrnSACiTJ4

[brave ravine]

Also to judge what’s simple without any idea what you’re talking about

[icy mauve]

Sorry,I took 2 hours today of doing the Blender Guru tutorials, I'm still struggling

I want something like dis. I've tried making the head. But having trouble making the rest of the body

[maiden tangle]

once you know the fundamentals it becomes easier to see how you can create something like this.
There are also different ways/styles to do it too for example maybe you are not enjoying box modeling and would prefer to sculpt a character.. but box modeling is essential for retopology
(making it run in a game engine)

[brave ravine]

Or go through here and find something free: https://assetstore.unity.com/3d?category=3d&free=true&orderBy=1

[icy mauve]

Alright. Thanks guys

[maiden tangle]

yes, maybe 3d art is not even something you want to pursue

plenty of free stuff out there

[icy mauve]

I'll try and take something, then modify it to what I want

[brave ravine]

What's your goal? It's easy to get hung up on stuff like assets, but in most cases it's better to go for placeholders and get the mechanics and such working. You can always go back and find a way to have better assets if the game pans out

[icy mauve]

My goal is to release a small game which I am working on it by myself. And then in the future, I will hire others to do work that I dont do good, or cant do.

Like build a team

[brave ravine]

Right. Which is a good plan. But it's more important to make the game work in a way you can demonstrate it's fun and viable than to get exactly the right model right from the jump.

[icy mauve]

Yea, buy it's kinda that the model is important. Like the shape of the model, because my game involves shapes

I'll practice

[brave ravine]

Ah, I see

Are you using the literal shape of the mesh as a gameplay element, or does it just need to represent a shape?

[icy mauve]

The literal shape of a mesh

[brave ravine]

Would you be able to get away with just primitive shapes like triangles and spheres (like, don't have a body/arms/legs) for prototyping purposes?

[icy mauve]

Yes

I think so

[brave ravine]

Might be a good stepping stone to do that then. I think Unity can make primitive shapes directly, but you could use it as an opportunity to get used to the basics in whatever modeling app you choose, like Blender.

Create materials, assign textures to those materials and assign the materials to your mesh.

You have to recreate materials in Unity.

[swift flint]

I am looking for a graphics designer for a game trailer, If anyone is interested please DM me

[reef elk]

would you say a mesh topology is defined only by its vertex and their locations? or is the definition also includes the way the vertices are connected together ?via triangles, edges etc

[swift estuary]

The topology is basically vertices + triangles

anythign like "edges" "faces" etc.. are all built on top of just vertices and their triangle relationship

at least in Unity's Mesh data model

[reef elk]

@swift estuary that's what i thought. Someone said that if you remove just the triangle from a mesh and leave the vertices (even if they are not used by other triangles), essentially leaving unused vertices, the topology would not change... my understanding of topology was that it is the vertex count and triangles/edges connected those edges. I don't even think that moving vertices location around changes the topology.. it changes the surface for sure but not the topology. Is my understanding not correct?

[eager mist]

Hello, i need help for understand how to change the hair colour of this model, the ear is connected with the hair

but when i look at it, 2 of the legs have inverted themselves? how wouldi fix this/stop it from happening in the future (pics incoming)

in blender

[outer halo]

You need to flip the faces in Blender.

[main adder]

oh ok, thanks!

[outer halo]

Turn this on in Blender to see the direction of the normals.

Any faces which are red need to be flipped.

[main adder]

aaahhh that's the trick, thanks!

oh thats so cool i'm using this forever now haha

perfect that fixed it, thanks!

btw, is there i way that i can select just the red faces?

[outer halo]

I don't think so, not without some scripting.

mkay, fair enough lol, thanks!

Hmm not really I just need 1 vertex point at that position, I already have three at the other sides.

[fluid oak]

@raven dirge Blender materials are not supported by unity.

[eager mist]

You will never be able to transfer materials (at least, with any degree of complexity) between programs - material systems are entirely application-specific.

Actually, I think GLTF might support some form of material graphs but Unity's importer doesn't.

[brave ravine]

There's also things like Substance, which exists in Maya and Unity alike. But certainly not free

and I dunno about Blender

[ionic harbor]

Hi, im making blender models for my unity game, I recently made a small house with interiors. I wonder, with every interior in the fbx file, unity will keep them glued together, with the ability to move them but under one parent. Having 10 or sometimes a massive amount of blender files and exporting each fbx seems farfetched. I also want the benefit of using the same uv map for multiple objects

[fluid oak]

@ionic harbor well, in unity at least uv information is stored in the mesh, so once imported thats how unity will treat it.

[ionic harbor]

Hmm alrighty

Im working on nanami for vrchat, I need to draw black lines on the face and also the suit, is it easier using unity or blender?

https://tenor.com/view/nanami-nanamin-jujutsu-kaisen-jujutsu-anime-gif-18620728

as an example, the cheeks lines

or the dots from the tie

[maiden tangle]

what I've seen most people who use anime lines is first using an outline shader, based on normals adjusted to show these detail lines

but that requires you to work within blender and unity

[weary girder]

Is it ok if i build my project with .Blend files or would that be an issue for player with no blender on their PC

[brave ravine]

Unity takes those Blender files, exports then to FBX, and imports the FBX files into its own format. It's that format that gets published in the games you produce, so the player doesn't need any extra software.

[weary girder]

Thanks

be Blessed Sir

Whats the best way to generate stylised terrain like in genshin impact. Ive tried world machine and l3td, but couldnt get a stylised look. Do i have to hand craft the terrain? I understand that you basically go over the whole thing again anyway, shaping it how you want, but as a basis id like something generated

[outer halo]

They definitely hand crafted it. They used normal terrain (probably generated from a height map) to create the basic flow of the landscape. But mostly everything you see, such as the cliffs and stuff, are hand placed mesh.

[remote mantle]

ok interesting, i wouldve thought most of the cliffs were generated to begin with. not the answer i was hoping for, but making cliffs will be fun

Hello. I have a question for those that use 3D art with LODs in their projects. What would you consider the best option?

[fossil pebble]

Hi. I have a blender cube in Unity and I'm trying to map a texture to one face of the cube so that it doesn't wrap to the other faces and fills the face with the entire image. Not sure how to do that. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

[stone junco]

Hi @fossil pebble. Do you want the same texture to be mapped on all the faces of your cube? If so, select your cube, enter Edit Mode, select all cube faces, press U key than click on Cube Projection option

[fossil pebble]

Thanks. Actually I prefer the texture to be on one side of the cube only

@stone junco curious when you say "edit mode" do you mean in Unity, or in Blender?

[stone junco]

I mean Blender

[fossil pebble]

ah

ok

can I still do the same if I want to have one face have the image only?

[stone junco]

Yes, you can

[fossil pebble]

so I do the same as you suggested but pick one face instead of the entire cube

?

then U > Cube Projection

I have not added a material at this point in blender, btw, because I want the cube to act as a generic canvas within Unity. So whatever material / texture I apply to the cube in Unity, I want the image to go to one side of the cube only.

will that work do you think?

[stone junco]

What do you want the other faces of the cube to be mapped to?

[fossil pebble]

whatever the base material is for the cube, if possible. in this case it would be black to form a kind of frame for the image.

the base material being set in Unity

if that's possible

in other words I want to be able to give the cube a black color, with an image on one face

though the color could be white, or whatever. that doesn't matter too much to me.

the important part is that the cube sets the texture on one face only.

I have another question. I noticed that when I save the cube as fbx and import it the cube comes with a camera and light. Should I keep those, or delete them? Does it matter so far as Unity is concerned?

[stone junco]

Enable these toggles when you export

The first toggle will make sure that only the object you selected is exported. The second toggle will make sure the model is exported with the correct scale and rotation

[fossil pebble]

ok way cool

thanks

trying it now

ok so it kinda worked

one face has the entire image on it which is good

but all the other faces also have the image wrapped around them too.

the one on the lower right is correct

the other faces have parts of the image

[stone junco]

Your best option here is to use a shader that replaces the mapped texture on the other faces with a color

[fossil pebble]

interesting

not sure how to use shader yet

[stone junco]

What version of Unity and pipeline are you using?

[fossil pebble]

5.4.1f1 pipeline not sure

(I just got started with unity yesterday)

(personal edition)

I've done some 3d modelling before, but not with unity. So I'm not totally lost.

[stone junco]

Why are you using a version of Unity so old

[fossil pebble]

hm

well, that's the one I had installed from a while back that I haven't used since then.

so ... not much of a reason, really.

basically I installed it, and then tried a few little things, and then moved on to other projects. now I'm circling back around to unity.

weak. I know.

anyway, I assume then I should upgrade to the newest (freebie) version

[stone junco]

You should install Unity Hub

From there you can install the latest version

[fossil pebble]

getting it now

I assume hub will keep it in sync and stuff?

also, I assume I should uninstall the previous version first?

[stone junco]

It doesn't really matter

[fossil pebble]

ok cool

@fossil pebble if you have other questions, you can DM me. If we continue to talk here, we are only going to spam this channel with discussions that have nothing to do with 3D art

[fossil pebble]

ok cool thanks

will do

[fossil pebble]

ok so I'm all set up on the new version and have the same cube and same question ... how to make one side of the cube show the image, but the back of the cube simply be a color (preferably black if that won't kill the albedo on the front.

from what I understand I can use a shader for this

[royal ingot]

Right, im trying to make a world in unity. As someone coming from hammer editor and making source maps for quite some time I find that unitys built in worldbuilding functions are lacking. Ive recently discovered probuilder and am going to test some things with it. But what would be some advice for a world designer coming from hammer trying to intigrate into unity.

so far Ive had trouble making doorways and windows as unity lacks a in engine mesh editor.

im going to experiment a bit with probuilder but im sure if it will yield the results im hoping for so any advice is appreciated.

[outer halo]

Probuilder is really only meant for blockout, it isn't as easy to easy/robust as using a proper modeling program.

There is also the Terrain package, if you need that.

[opaque wasp]

sorry for interrupting, i have a low-poly sphere made of triangles. i want player to be able to be able to place and remove objects on any face that they desire

here is the sphere

example of what i mean by placing on a face

[outer halo]

This is a #💻┃code-beginner question. But essentially you raycast your mouse position into the world, if it hits the sphere, snap the objects to that position and rotate it such that it's up direction is the raycast's hit.normal. (the normal of the face, essentially). But anyway, ask in the proper channel if you can't figure that part out.

[opaque wasp]

oh yeah i didnt think about using raycast in this case, how would i center the object onto the face?

also, would it be possible to add an outline to a specific face on the sphere?

[dusty jewel]

Hello artists. I'm working on a project with mlagents for my master Thesis. My implementation has 2 enemy agents that are competing in several tasks. Anyways, Im not really familiar with modeling in Blender etc.. So i was wondering if anyone has a simple character similar to this one in terms of mechanics : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogz-3r0EHKM&ab_channel=JelleVermandere and similar to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kopoLzvh5jY&t=30s&ab_channel=OpenAI in terms of style 😛

[eager mist]

Am I allowed to ask Blender related questions here?

[brave ravine]

I believe so, as long as it's in the name of using Blender to do something Unity related

[eager mist]

Yea it's for my game

Ok so how do I wrap a cylinder properly so shit like this doesn't happen?

[eager mist]

Nevermind I just gave up

[outer halo]

Unwrapping can't really be explained without visuals. But in Blender you can use a texture for a reference in the UV unwrapping window, and then position the unwrap so it aligns. Maybe find a basic unwrapping tutorial on Youtube.

[brave ravine]

This is using Maya, but I found it pretty clear/easy to follow with regards to "getting" UV Mapping. Bonus: they're demonstrating with a cylinder for you 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dj0uXid9oGo

The idea should translate into Blender fine once you get it though

[novel flint]

Hey guys. I'm a beginner in Unity and I'm having trouble importing a model from Blender. In some objects of the model you can look right through them. How can I fix this?

[brave ravine]

You probably have the normals reversed

I don't know blender or I'd tell you how to fix it, but Google can probably help with "Blender flip normals" or similar

[novel flint]

I'll try to recalculate them gimme a sec

yep that was it

I have another issue if you wouldn't mind

I'm getting these weird white lines where the seams of the meshes are located

and they show up both in Blender and Unity

I have tried to bleed the color in the textures but it didn't work

[swift estuary]

Raycasts give you this that may help:

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/RaycastHit-triangleIndex.html

if all your faces are just triangles, you can take this index, reach into the mesh data, read the 3 vertices of that triangle, and place your object at the center of the triangle formed by those three vertices

[ornate cloud]

does anybody know how to fix this? It is ok in blender but when I import it the wrist and other parts look like this

[pastel steppe]

I think that has something to do with the UV map

Try unwrapping it in blender again

[royal ingot]

how would I go about cutting a hole in a mesh with probuilder?

[ornate cloud]

Ill try

[brave ravine]

@ornate cloud Does it look like that after import immediately, or only with an Animator assigned?

[ornate cloud]

immediately after I import

[brave ravine]

Ok. I ask because I had some problems with joints getting warped around and twisted that SORTA looked like that, but only after creating an avatar/using the animator.

Unless those diamonds in the fingers are part of the design, I find them kinda suspicious. They look like gizmos made real. And for the wrist, is it possible you have some faces that have reversed normals? Can you swing the camera around and see whether they're visible from the other side?

[ornate cloud]

oh well theres something strange, look, same happened with the shoes

and when I turn the camera it looks different

[brave ravine]

Yeah, I think that's reversed normals

[bitter mural]

Why do .fbx files with embedded material appear without any materials when imported

[ornate cloud]

how do I change it

[brave ravine]

Unity shaders normally only render one side of a poly, the "back" is transparent. So if you have them backward in you modeling application, that's what happens

I don't know Blender, but if you google "Blender flip normals" or similar I bet you find the answer

[ornate cloud]

got it

thank you so much

[bitter mural]

when i try to import .blend files it just says blender not found

[brave ravine]

Unity uses Blender to export FBX for you when you stick a .blend file in Assets

[bitter mural]

altho

is there a reason why .fbx files with embed material appear without any materials when i import them

also i already have blender installed on my pc

but it still says blender not found

[brave ravine]

I don't really know how it finds Blender normally, I've never used it. I'm sure someone will know eventually though.

As for materials, do you mean non are listed in the Import settings?

[bitter mural]

dw i figured it out

[ornate cloud]

I cant change it, I want to add an image as a texture

[glacial vector]

You need to make a new material @ornate cloud

[eager mist]

Hey diese someone now a good tool to color 3D models?(would be good if it’s free or under 20€)

[outer halo]

It doesn't really work that way. But Blender is a free software which also lets you do texture painting.

[leaden lagoon]

blender or armorpaint (i think it is free if you dont mind building it yourself, but if you do then you can buy it for i dont remember how much)

armorpaint is considered to be substance alternative, though i have no idea how they compare. i use blender for everything, but its not the best way to go about things im pretty sure

[glacial vector]

$20 will give you access to substance painter for a single month hehe

[shrewd axle]

is there any way i can separate walls from ground with probuilder?

[swift estuary]

Wdym by separate

[shrewd axle]

like i built everything with a single cube

[swift estuary]

Are they the same mesh?

Oh

[shrewd axle]

xDD

[swift estuary]

Yeah you can do it

Idk how lol. Probably select all the "wall" faces and there will be a button to separate it to another object or something

You will end up with some holes in both objects afterwards that will need to be closed as well

[shrewd axle]

honestly just gonna erase the ground and create a new one

easier

[proper ruin]

im trying to make a fps, and i've seen indie devs make models that focus specifically on arms

that the camera will be behind

so I did that

I also started to make a level in unity

im taking baby steps, I may not know anything now but I'm dedicating myself to making this FPS

[eager mist]

hey guys, I'm playing around with shadergraph custom functions a bit and like

{
    color = float4(Texture2D_Bar.Sample(ss, uv));
}```

something like this, in HLSL generates a "Implicit Trucation of Vector Type" warning

any shader wizards here?

[glacial vector]

#archived-shaders @eager mist

[timber tinsel]

Wanted to share an image of my favorite model I've made.

[brave ravine]

Cute, look very clean

[fluid oak]

@eager mist While that is definitely a #archived-shaders thing, you don't really need to worry about it; it just means that you have a case where you're not using all the outputs of a vector, implicitly converting it to a different type by doing so. HLSL lets you do that, unlike c#.

[limber plume]

Is there a website (besides the asset store) where I can get stylized game assets?

[glacial vector]

@limber plume https://kenney.nl/assets

[eager mist]

hello

im trying to apply this brick textures on my wall but its messing up

[swift estuary]

uv mapping

[eager mist]

the wall are all one object btw

[swift estuary]

on your wall

Or if you're using ProBuilder and this is just a tiled texture read this: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.probuilder@4.2/manual/workflow-uvs.html#auto-uv-mode-features

[eager mist]

ill read that

but i was gonna ask you is it better to build 1 wall at a time?

i just have 4 anyway

[swift estuary]

it can be simpler to deal with yeah

especially with ProBuilder

[eager mist]

ok because we didnt learn uv mapping in unity at all

we do it in maya

but why is it dark

?

[swift estuary]

Do the UV mapping in Maya then if you're familiar with that

ProBuilder UV mapping stinks

[eager mist]

seems like the light was pointing at the other direction

had no idea it was a directional light

i dont think im going blind yet

[round mason]

is there way to "apply" game object transform changes to 3d asset ?

[swift estuary]

In Blender or ProBuilder

[fossil pebble]

Hi yall. Just getting started with Unity and I have a cylinder as my player with the camera set behind him. I have movement setup with my script and that's good. But I want to have him pivot a little differently than what is happening now. When I pivot using the A or D key the whole object moves, and he does face a new direction, but I'd rather him just pivot in place. Can I do that?

[exotic valley]

I don't know if this is the right channel or not. Hopefully this will make sense: Can you make decals that only affect the normal information?

I guess probably not, because the decal can't really 'read' the other textures from the mesh its sitting over

[eager mist]

How would I go about making a Sphere hollow?

[swift estuary]

pretty easy to do in blender with two spheres and a boolean modifier

but you essentially need to make the inner and outer wall

[eager mist]

Okay, so I should just make one in Blender?

[swift estuary]

definitely

[eager mist]

Okay gotcha, I am more experienced in that anyways. Thanks!

[bold shore]

Hello!

I'm very new to Unity and would like some help, anyone that is avaible and/or likes to help please @me or DM me

[rotund moth]

Hey guys, I'm building a tool for very quick 3D creation and would love your feedback on the idea! We are creating all the props that are so boring to make, starting with chairs and tables. Other interiors to come. What else would you want to see? Would you use something like this? https://sloyd.studio/

[brave ravine]

That certainly does sound/look useful, for blocking out a room if nothing else.

[eager mist]

Hey does someone now how to remove a specific part of an 3d object in blender?

[bold shore]

No idea brother, sorry

[eager mist]

ok thanks

[bold shore]

No problem XD😂

[glacial vector]

In edit mode you can make any selection you like and press X do delete facec, vertices etc @eager mist

[velvet lava]

Hi! Very new to Unity and need some help regarding mesh colliders and children and parents. For more info pls dm me

[eager mist]

i have a huge issue

every time i use the rotation tool, and switch tools, the rotation tool resets but the rotation of the object doesnt.

and i need it to save rotation because a steering wheel script i have depends on it

[limber plume]

I use Hdrp and got the flooded grounds asset from the asset store, but most assets are purple what should i do

[shut juniper]

the better approach would probably be taking a sphere, cutting it in half and then extruding but either way works, this will give more overall control

[swift estuary]

I'm by no means a blender or 3D modelling expert so I'll happily defer to you

[tired steeple]

When it comes to building rooms is it preferable to build them in Unity or build them in Blender then import them?

[amber walrus]

It's easier to iterate when you can do it in Unity

[brave ravine]

It kinda depends. It’s probably easier to block out and test gameplay in Unity. But if it’s more like a room that you’re trying to build out with details and props it may be easier to do in a modeling app

[amber walrus]

Oh I read it as doing the placement

Doing the models in a dedicated 3D package should be better

[brave ravine]

Well, he just says “building rooms” which is too vague for a good answer

[fluid oak]

I'm doing my first real tests with adding 3d objects

[brave ravine]

Looks good!

[vestal shore]

hows it??
will upload some more after post processing

[fleet harbor]

Hey y'all. I am pretty new to unity and need some help. Any idea in making 2 gameobjects into 1 prefab, i.e. connecting (?) those two?

[vestal shore]

well if a prefab is a game object itself
as for my knowledge if u make one gameobject a child of another gameobject and then make them a prefab u can get a prefab with two gameobject

[fleet harbor]

Thx !

[fluid oak]

Yes, you can nest prefabs since 2019.x, I think

https://i.imgur.com/qOFCPXQ.mp4

[brave ravine]

That's really great progress really quick

[bitter mural]

so umm

when i use unity Remote 5

the resolution of the game decreases

like crazy

everything looks pixelted

is this normal?

and will this affect the end result?

also

it gets really bad fps

i get 60 constant on pc

on phone its like 20 or smth

[midnight glade]

uhh so

i need help

just gotta add a subdivision surface and it will be beautiful

[native furnace]

Try the build and run. The actual build will be how your game looks and plays, the remote is more or less a low res video from your device.

Its pretty normal to get much worse FPS on mobile than pc. If you aren't VSynching and are normally at 60, you'll probably have to push up performance a lot more for mobile.

[bitter mural]

alr thanks

[wicked umbra]

y0 guys

my assets on Unity have their pivots centered

how do I import with custom pivots

[outer halo]

All assets import with their own pivots, which is their origin point.

Make sure this doesn't say Center. If it does, click it to toggle to Pivot.

[swift estuary]

If the pivots are not right the best option is to go back to Blender or whatever 3D modelling application you prefer and reset the origin of the mesh there as desired

[manic crypt]

for an rpg how are different armor sets modeled for the character to wear? do you make it from the character model or some how make it over the character? I'm wondering cause it would mean you have to make at least 3 sets if not more of the same armor, male, female, more if you have different races for it to work with.

[plucky lodge]

Yo, hope you are all safe. How would I achieve this look? It almost looks like clay. Can somebody point me in the right direction?

[swift estuary]

Lots of different games use lots of different techniques

[manic crypt]

Does it have to do with shape keys which is a similar process with customizing the character itself? deep in the rabbit hole atm

I think its something to do with blend shapes and weight painting, seems like a complex pipeline

[brave ravine]

There isn't one way to do it, but a lot depends on just how many you're planning to have and how "generic" they are. Like, if it's an MMO-ish game where a piece has to fit over a character with a ton of variation you might approach it differently than if there's 3 main characters.

[manic crypt]

the game im considering to make is an rpg, which the player can make a customizable character and so armour would have to fit different types of characters.

[brave ravine]

Have you looked into something like UMA?

[manic crypt]

what is that?

[brave ravine]

http://umadocs.secretanorak.com/doku.php?id=start

It's a system for creating characters in Unity that supposedly has a pretty good system for dealing with clothing.

I haven't personally tried it but I've heard it's pretty good.

[manic crypt]

I'll look into it, but I've been learning a lot of blender for a while here and would like to make my own.

I've been enjoying the ride on learning how something is done, im not looking for the fastest way.

[brave ravine]

Oh, you can still make your own: http://umadocs.secretanorak.com/doku.php?id=knowledgebase:content_creation

It lets you make and skin your own character, make the clothes. It just provides a system for doing it efficiently as I understand

[manic crypt]

I assumed this was a character generator... ohh

[brave ravine]

I'm not gonna try and sell it too hard, but I didn't want to give the wrong impression either 🙂

My main character has a few different outfits, which are modeled as different meshes in the main model file. I turn them on or off at runtime as needed. It's one approach, but it certainly wouldn't scale beyond a handful of looks.

One of the problems with generic "armor" pieces is clipping. They tend to get made oversized so that the player model underneath can't clip through them too easily.

[manic crypt]

Well this could be the way around what I was thinking of an alternative is if im roadblocked too long I could just make a dedicated character, id rather have a personalizable character for players to use.

[brave ravine]

Yeah, UMA solves it by prescribing a way of chopping up the character base mesh in a way that the body parts obscured by the clothes aren't rendered at all, so no chance of clipping.

[manic crypt]

but it isnt turning the faces of the base model off? doesnt that make a performance issue

[brave ravine]

Well, it is. YOu split the mesh up so that they can be turned off when appropriate

[manic crypt]

oh okay

Yea im going to have to read more into this program I like the price too, lol. thanks

[brave ravine]

Hope it helps!

[polar grotto]

Hey everyone! Sorry if it's wrong channel for that, but... is there way to paint on all the lods with Polybrush? It's possible to paint on a few meshes, but seems it doesn't work for lods by some reason

[swift estuary]

So in Blender you can do Inset Faces to split a face in like a beveled pattern, or Poke Faces to get an umbrella-pattern (that's what I like to call it!). Is there any way to split a face into a grid of faces?

[odd dune]

Hiya, I am quite new to unity, but here goes;
Is it possible to create a huge array of 4D points (x, y, z, w) and then tell Unity to render only those points for which a statement is true, for example if you say w=0.47, then render all points of form (x, y, z, 0,47)

Im looking into creating cross-sections of the 4th dimension, and though i have a lot of prior experience, am completely new to Unity

Also, do points have a thickness in Unity? Or is it just a data point that you can't visualise, but have to make like a cubemesh for or something

[ornate cloud]

Ive used CATS in blender but I havent found the problem, I have also flip the normals, when I import the model it looks like this

and it should look like this

I have not finished it no bullying please its my first model lol

[brave ravine]

Darn good for a first one

[manic crypt]

thats amazin for a first model

[brave ravine]

Does that hole correspond to a poly face in blender if you look at the wireframe? Could there just be single faces that still have reverse normals?

[manic crypt]

it could be lightining in unity isnt set up right?

[brave ravine]

Yeah, I think a lot of the blotchiness is just the topology interacting with the lighting

But the holes are something else

[manic crypt]

yea im not sure how to help on that

my first model looked like a blob monster, an several times while grab / sculpting it I couldnt help but bust out laughing

[brave ravine]

I can't model anything organic to save my life, so I've been commissioning characters when I can afford it

But I have been trying rooms and props a little

[manic crypt]

yea the inorganic stuff with sharp edges saved me from giving up in blender, still going to attempt to make a char though

[ornate cloud]

yes they do correspond, I thought doing Normals - Recalculate outside would help but apparently it does not

and thank you for those who say its good, if I finish it and you play VRC youll be able to use it

[manic crypt]

the glasses remind me of the pilot in cowboy beebop

[brave ravine]

@ornate cloud Try telling it to flip those normals on those faces explicitly

I don't know how to do that in Blender exactly, but I know it's a thing based on problems people tend to have 🙂

[manic crypt]

oh can help there

[brave ravine]

I've only used Maya so far

Can you show a wireframe from blender too? I have a theory that the topology will explain the blotchiness

[manic crypt]

top right view port overlays, check box, face orientation, select the ones that are red. then ctrl + n to flip

if it doesnt flip, there should be a check box overlay that pops up in the bottom left*corner that you have to check

after doing ctrl+n

[ornate cloud]

I did use decimate bc I can only use 20,000 faces

[ornate cloud]

will try

my first attempt was good but it had 380,000 faces, only 360,000 more than the allowed

[manic crypt]

lemme know how that works when you import it. I havnt played with decimate yet, but was curious how topology changes when you do that

oh! did you save the first one as a normal map before you did that? Thats a trick to keep the look without the face count I think, thought that was really cool when I first heard about that

[brave ravine]

Yeah, it's common to model in high poly then make a lower poly version with a normal map

[ornate cloud]

damn, I did not, is there any vid u could share?

[brave ravine]

But I think those unevenly shaped faces are what's doing you in with the lighting

[manic crypt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LuEqvO9QsE

[brave ravine]

That's the sort of topology you want, where the faces are pretty evenly spaced and sized

[manic crypt]

do you have to remesh to get that to work or does remeshing break it?

[brave ravine]

The artists I've worked with have all gotten the model the way we want it first, then they spend a couple days "Retopologizing" to get that

[manic crypt]

oof days you say. I havnt dived into retopologizing yet, but I heard it could be a pain

I know maya supposedly does it really easily, but I dont want to pay for that

[brave ravine]

I don't know if it ACTUALLY takes days, or if it's because htey have other clients than me 🙂

[ornate cloud]

wait, so, does it work with any mesh? Like if thats the case I could redo the model from 0 not taking care of the polygons till the very end

[brave ravine]

@ornate cloud As I understand it, it's a process rather than a magic button. But yeah, they do it as a matter of routine to everything they make.

And you want higher density around places that need to deform/move. Like, around her mouth

[ornate cloud]

Oh well the model will not move the mouth neither the eyes (it has got glasses)

[manic crypt]

I think this video might help if you want to dive into it a bit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIM6EXisvu4&ab_channel=RoyalSkiesLLC

[ornate cloud]

you guys saved my life

[manic crypt]

happy to help when others have helped me 😄

[brave ravine]

@ornate cloud That helps, but surely it'll move SOMETHING. It applies to joints like shoulders and elbows too

[ornate cloud]

im using mixamo to auto-create the bones, I hope everything will go ok

[brave ravine]

Higher vertex density around articulation points makes the model work better without gross looking oddities when animated

[ornate cloud]

I see, well I will apply what youve shown me only on high poly things like the hair

THANK YOU SO MUCH

https://tenor.com/view/jujutsu-kaisen-satoru-gojo-gif-20182157

[brave ravine]

Hair can go either way depending on what you want it to do

For instance, her hair here acts mostly like a helmet and doesn't really move, and since the texturing is fairly uniformly colored it actually has a way lower density than the rest of the model

I did add a little physics to the pony tail in-game, but since the texture isn't complicated looking it still works fine

[compact mantle]

Hey, Game Artists, I'm curious, how you named your folder where you save the .fbx files?

[ornate cloud]

u used curves right

[brave ravine]

I didn’t make it myself, so I dunno what he did

[ornate cloud]

oh ok, because Im using curves which have got a lot of polygons but I will try to do bake once I finish it

[ornate cloud]

ive got a file of models (theres 1 named other models and another one named own models) all my models are saved as .fbx

[mortal notch]

Anyone know how to use Color Studio?
It's currently free on the Asset Store
I'm trying to change a particular color to another for a Synty's Ploygon Character model.
But the asset has no instructions for doing a color change

I dont know srry

and for those who helped me, I have finished, I hope everything will go ok once I open unity lol

[brave ravine]

[empty sky]

Hey! I wanted to try to model a character myself, do you have any guide advice? I don't want anything complex, just some pointers. At the moment I have a base mesh like the one at the beginning of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf7TWY1MB94 but I don't think the topology for the face that is done in this video is good, right?

[ornate cloud]

its good but depends on what you will use it for, I would not make it using subdivision (nothing wrong but not my favourite way to create a whole body), what Ive been doing is that a take a look alike model and then I go to sculpt mode and start making the changes, but as I said, its up to you, you can see here the model ive been working on recently, for the head I took one from an already made character attack on titan and modified it, but do not consider my advice as a GOOD one, I started using blender some weeks ago

[ornate cloud]

but its perfect if you want to have a really low poly model

[ornate cloud]

mine has got 19,990 polygons

[fervent tapir]

I'm just throwing stuff together with blender and need to know how to export a model as a single mesh

Nvm worked it out

[empty sky]

And so do I, I have never tried sculpting... I just had a feeling that using the knife tool that way to do eyes a and so on was a little wrong, dunno why exactly

[ionic harbor]

Hey, im using a software called armor paint for pbr texturing. I want to make a scope black glass material but cant get it to work

Anyone uses armor paint?

In there it looks fine but in unity its not really the same

[ionic harbor]

Is this the correct setup for a pbr textured object?

Smoothness ive adjusted to look as good as possible, 1.0 looks all watery

[vague karma]

just wondering for workflow, (since I've only really done subsurf models before). Is it better to create a high poly first and then a low poly after? rn I'm wanting to make an axe but just wondering where to start.

[outer halo]

Whatever fits your style. One way is definitely do high poly, or even sculpt the model then retopo it for a game. Or, you can go straight to the low poly version to be used if that's your style.

[vague karma]

fair enough, I'm thinking of creating a block out first, and then adding detail to each part of my axe, which is what I'll consider high poly. Then head into sculpting for any extra detail, ngl... I'm not looking forward to UV unwrapping. But cheers for the help. Its much appreciated 🙂

[ionic harbor]

I thought uv unwrapping was a hassle but really learn how to do it and have no problems now

one thing that can screw up is the object scaling, what i do is to make sure to scale individual axis always in edit mode

so the object remains 1,1,1 scale in object mode

that appears to be affecting uv mapping, correct me if im wrong

[outer halo]

It'll affect a lot of things. In blender you can apply the scale though, which you should definitely do from time to time.

Hotkey for that is Ctrl+A

[eager mist]

i now only see this pls somebody help

[ornate cloud]

outline issue

it is the same no matter how much width I apply

[ornate cloud]

tried changing the shader to poiyomi

and still

[maiden tangle]

no idea what outline script is supposed to do

make an outline sure, but is this an official script? how is it trying to make an outline happen

https://github.com/unity3d-jp/UnityChanToonShaderVer2_Project

maybe check some free shaders out

@ornate cloud

[ornate cloud]

It is official I got it from the assets store, I need to add it individually, I will try with the shader you sent instead of the one Ive got because that one has no outline thats why Ive been struggling

Thx

[vestal shore]

have u made this in blender???
if yes did u use sculpting tools for making it???

[brave ravine]

@ornate cloud Worth noting that just because something comes from the Asset store doesn't make it "official". When people say "Official" they usually mean either it comes with Unity or is supplied by Unity. If they didn't make it themselves, they don't guarantee anything that's on the asset store. It also means that if you're using an asset you found we're not likely to know anything about it; you generally would need to contact the Asset seller's support for help.

[winged copper]

how should i go about bringing this into unity

its a bunch of particles that act as grass

i can get the model itself with the particles in no problem but how would i do the material?

[swift estuary]

Blender materials aren't compatible with Unity

You can bring over whatever image textures are involved

But then you have to remake the material in Unity

[wicked umbra]

guys how do I make double sided transparent materials?

[ornate cloud]

imported an object that has an camera maybe?

[wild imp]

hi all - i have an issue that probably has a simple solution..

when I "build" with probuilder, it renders as the box on the left. i was wondering how to keep the scale markings there, like i see in a lot of videos?

[swift estuary]

The thing on the right is a material that comes with ProBuilder

I general you change the appearance of objects by applying materials to their renderers

[wheat blaze]

Can someone help me out and tell me why this happens when I drag this .fbx into Unity?

It is not meant to look like that

[swift estuary]

how is it supposed to look

[wheat blaze]

A lot of the things you see inside are being stretched out of the plane

[ionic wren]

The scaling is wrong. You have 0.12 on the Z axis. It probably has to be the same number for all 3 axes.

[untold edge]

So I’m going to be making a very large airplane in blender to use in a unity game, where the play can go through multiple cabins etc (hence why it’s so large). I’m wondering how I should split the plane up object wise, since I’m fairly certain that if it’s all one large object it’ll be really bad for performance right?

[swift estuary]

I like magicavoxel

[last cove]

Can anyone help me with textures? I download textures from poliigon and want to use them in unity. This works but I don't really understand how all the different maps work. I have this shiny brass metal, but it looks really dark, ugly and doesn't reflect light. I have no clue how to make it look how it is supposed to.

How mine looks:

Supposed to look like:

[wheat blaze]

Thanks! The y scale was already 1, so I went back into Blender, selected all, then applied scale

So, that worked

[wheat blaze]

When I add a wheel collider, how do I see it?

I add the component, but I can't see how it changes when I change the radius

[crimson vector]

What am missing?

[crimson vector]

make sure gizmos are turned on in the scene window

[wheat blaze]

Thanks

[vestal shore]

i think decreasing the alpha would work here

🤔 just give it a try

[glacial vector]

@last cove setting your normal map to the correct mode would help, also are you sure you want to be using a specular shader model? Can you show your list of textures with full names? Lastly, with metallic materials it's important to have a reflection probe so make sure you have one baked

[wicked umbra]

I doesn't show the backside

[last cove]

These are all the textures of a "Specular" setup. I also have the option to download "Metalic". But I don't know what the differnce is. What do you mean with setting the normal map to the correct mode?

I'm really new to this, especially to texturing and models. So I'm not sure what a reflection probe is 😅

[glacial vector]

As long as you're assigning the appropriate textures it's fine to use specular

Make a reflection probe from GameObject>Lights>Reflection probe

You then need to press bake in the iinspector

[last cove]

Well the problem is I don't really know which maps to put where, I know Albedo, normal map, heightmap and secondary albedo and so..

But I don't know what to do with the AO map and how to combine the gloss and reflection map.

Most textures look fine, but as soon as I need reflections or something shiny it looks like it came right out of the gutter 😄

These for example look normal, I think.

[eager mist]

can someone tell me how the mesh of the cube is colorized that way by such a multicolor texture file selected below in the project explorer. I dont understand how the mesh knows which color to use for which areas for the cube, for me it is magic. Where is this info stored 🙂

[glacial vector]

You will need to combine your textures somehow @last cove, for example in Photoshop

[vale plume]

hey guys,do you think this building is too highpoly for a mobile game?assuming there will be atleast hundred buildings like this in the game environment
this specific object has around 2k faces
im texturing the assets using a 128*128 color palette

[smoky vine]

Hey, I have a question. I want to make a car game but building the level in the unity editor is pretty time consuming. So I want to build a map editor where you can create maps and import them into you game. So everybody can create some, and publish them.
Is that possible?

[vestal shore]

is that a plane or cube with a little thickness???

[wicked umbra]

it's a plane

I got to the conclusion that unity doesn't have double sided materials

it also doesn't have a snap to grid toggle when placing objects

[vestal shore]

it has snap to grid in pro builder

[vestal shore]

wait i will check it out
u need double sided transparency right
like glass doors have 🤔

[wicked umbra]

yeah

I'm gonna be honest, I'm used to a very modular workflow from Unreal, and unity is a pain in this aspect. Gotta research more to see if it's possible to use the same tools as Unreal

for example, unity duplicates assets in the project folder, so it I want to quickly reimport an asset, it's a pain

🙃🙃🙃

[loud summit]

When I import my object from Blender to Unity some faces disappear while looking from different angles. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[wicked umbra]

for now I duplicated the geo and flipped the normals in each side. for my small scene it's not a performance issue

[wicked umbra]

you have the normals flipped

[loud summit]

Is it on Unity or Blender?

[wicked umbra]

Blender. look it up on Google, how to flip geometry normals in blender

[loud summit]

Ok thank you very much

[vestal shore]

okay i didnt get it (as the whole thing that u told is somewhat new to me) but i will pretend like i understood

here is my approach

this is what u wanted to do right???
@wicked umbra

[wicked umbra]

if you go to the other side can you see the glass aswell?

[vestal shore]

yeah bro

this is the whole scene

[vestal shore]

well here i forgot one thing
turn your material rendering mode to transparent
and then decrease the Alpha
that way u can achieve this thing...

[eager mist]

i need help

if i rotate using the rotate tool it doesnt lock the tool just the objects rotation

[vestal shore]

can you elaborate??
i think u are asking about pivots (World rotation pivots and object rotation pivots)
correct me if i am wrong

[eager mist]

yeah i think

@vestal shore when i use the rotation tool, it will reset the tools rotation after a rotate it but not the obj i am rotating

[spark vigil]

does anyone know how to use animations from unity asset store for you on model in blender and use that model in other game engines?

[maiden tangle]

where the hell did .3ds import option go in blender?

tried an online converter doesn't seem to be quite the same model I remember

[maiden tangle]

**it's been an addon that hasn't updated to 2.8.. ok blender 🙂

[brittle falcon]

its called an uv map

and it is inside the object

its somewhat an cutout of the object

this is a bad uv map but for the idea

and it goes over the texture and so it puts the textures on the model

[honest bane]

Hey, I'm using probuilder to make an UV map. I've colored the maping but I have no idea how to get the UV map into probuilder.
Can anyone assist me?

[golden laurel]

Does anyone know any software or techniques that can be used to make rigged voxel models? Running With Rifles had something like this for modding.

help
when i try to import this bowser model from blender to unity, this is what happens to it

when i try to import other models they turn out fine, but only this model looks like that
some meshes are transparent, making him look like he has no eyes and body, and some of the colors are darker than normal
idk how to fix it

[eager mist]

i need a 3d modeler for a fps survival game im making dm me if interested

[errant plover]

@last cove Clear Baked Lightmaps.

[plucky meteor]

Little guy that I've been working on for my game

[pastel steppe]

Check the normals

[keen apex]

wdym

what normals

[keen apex]

where are they and how do i check them

[pastel steppe]

In blender

https://all3dp.com/2/blender-recalculate-normals-simply-explained/

This should explain it

@keen apex

[keen apex]

ok

also one more thing

i have a mario model as well, and im trying to animate it, but when try to in the configure tab in the rig tab, it stretches the model out like this

it shouldnt be like that

neither should those extra parts be in front of mario's eyes

oh yeah and when i get close to the model the parts disappear

then reappear when i back up

[keen apex]

how do i fix all of these?

[pastel steppe]

I honestly do not know

The disapering parts I belive is because of normals

look up a video on hot to fix them inside of blender or whatever 3d program you use

[plush prairie]

If modeling a static mesh should you dissolve all the extra edges from loop cuts before importing and triangulate? I tried this and it cuts triangles by ~900 but it irks me how ugly the triangulation looks - maybe it doesn't matter though for static? Here is the mesh with only quads and a bunch of loop cuts for reference

And this is with the loop cuts taken out and then ngons triangulated

[supple osprey]

you should remake your light generator.

[keen apex]

thanks

[pastel steppe]

Did it work?

[keen apex]

idk i just opened the page cause i had to do something

but im back

[plush prairie]

After reading through a lot of crap I went with the triangulation, from what I've read should be fine if the surface is flat and won't be animated.

Okay as long as I triangulate ALL faces before export it is fine like that, if I leave some quads it gets real jacked up

[tame flicker]

I made some campsite props for my game and I was wondering about the best way to bring them into Unity would be.

Should I import each prop as it's own FBX? Or should I export all the props into a single FBX?

[supple osprey]

Depends if they are grouped, combined. Will you be able to use them individually, then each one seperatly. Or just static objects=one mesh combined.

[tame flicker]

I'll be using them individually

This just feels kinda.. wrong I guess? Unintuitive? Exporting items one by one and setting up the materials one by one in Unity is slow and clunky and the asset browser quickly becomes unmanageable. I feel like I'm missing a far easier way of doing this

[plush prairie]

Setting up materials is easy, they will come over with the mesh so if there is a new one you pop the mesh open in unity with the arrow button, hit ctrl+d on the material then drag the copy into your materials folder for your project. Great thing is they are very reusable and you can remap everything right here on import

So if you need a mat you've used before you just drag and drop. It doesn't even really matter what mats you used in blender.

[maiden tangle]

if it's a scene with many moving parts it's not expected you do it one by one, group them up and send in a single FBX.
That way the materials can be exported all at once into a materials folder,
easy

by group them up I don't mean merge them into a single object- simply selecting them (dragging across the blend scene even) will be enough info for the FBX to bundle the objects together, and they'll be able to be moved separately inside unity

ofc if it's an environment maybe you want them merged, up to you

[hushed ibex]

when i attach like a gun model or any object like a cube
to the main camera
and look up in the game
the object streches

[sullen plank]

Your container parent object has uneven scale. Should not touch scale at all unless modifying default primitives as child objects or simple temporary animation effects.

[hushed ibex]

i fixed it by shrinking the character to 1:1:1

but now how do i make him taller

without it goin weird again

[sullen plank]

set properties on child objects. But scaling affects physics as well. So you should really use already properly scaled model.

[vestal shore]

has anyone worked with sketchup here???

i need some help with importing a model from sketchup to unity but i am not able to extract the materials applied to the model in sketchup when imported to unity

[swift estuary]

move the actual mesh renderer / collider part of your character to a separate child object

scale that child object instead of the main parent object

[edgy lodge]

when i import .fbx file from Blender to Unity, and i try to add Mesh Collider to that object it does not want to make any collider, or if i choose different same named "objects" it provide some kind of strange collider in front of it, and when i export .obj file, it can provide great Mesh Collider but the .obj file contains only one single model and i can´t program parts of the object later on, can anyone help ?

[sullen plank]

@acoustic river Place for this is pinned in #💻┃unity-talk

[plucky meteor]

[Work In Progress] Glock that I modeled/textured. It still has many missing parts, and I've only made the base texture. Also messed up the proportions 😭

[maiden tangle]

yes the trigger guard is a bit chunky I like the base material you've got on the edges looking good 🙂

[plucky meteor]

Thanks! It's procedural so I don't have to do hand painting or anything! xD

[maiden tangle]

substance? good stuff

[plucky meteor]

Blender

I can't afford Substance Painter

[maiden tangle]

oh I see, me too haha

Armor paint is getting better, blender style nodes if you're interested

1 time fee super affordable

if you don't need it though all the better!

[acoustic river]

How does it look?

[plucky meteor]

Nice!

[plucky meteor]

Hehe that's what I'm going for

[brave ravine]

For some reason, if you buy Substance Painter through Steam it's a one-time fee.

And you get a regular license you can use with the non-steam version so you don't have to launch it through Steam every time

If I recall correctly, it's also slightly cheaper that way than buying a yearly sub. The only catch I know of is you can't use that version if you make more than $100K on your game.

[pastel steppe]

The model and materials look good however I think the lighting could use some work

[plucky meteor]

If you reach over 100k, just spend a tiny fraction of that on a license that allows you :p

[brave ravine]

Yeah, I never consider those clauses much of a concern 🙂

[vestal shore]

can anyone help me with this??

[brave ravine]

I don't know anything about Sketchup, but materials generally don't transfer between applications

Create a new material in Unity using the same textures

[ornate cloud]

when I get close to my model (using mouse wheel) my camera stops moving, I cant do anything after that

[vestal shore]

actlly i meant the textures are extracting when i try to extract them so that i can make a material

[vestal shore]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmI59VIMeNA&t=68s

i want to do something like this

but i m not able to extract the textures

[swift estuary]

What would be the consequence of vertex normals not being normalized on a 3D mesh?

Is that going to screw up lighting calculations?

[crimson jewel]

Maybe you can import the model in Blender then UV bake ?

[unreal crest]

I just spent all day trying to figure out why my lightmaps weren't baking properly, and it appears the issue is that Unity isn't re-importing FBX's properly when they change. I must have resaved and reloaded that file 50 times with different lightmap settings, and various tweaks in Blender. But it turned out all I had to do was save it with a different filename. Of course, doing that means my entire scene setup has to be re-created, which is why I didn't even attempt it, and even knowing this, it means I may run into this issue again when I am far along in the development of my game and need to make a change to the base scene, which is crazy. Does anyone know of a workaround to this? It seems like one ought to be able to make a script that can replace the fbx in the scene with one with a different name and retain all the changes to the children in the heirarchy.

[ornate ocean]

Anyone have a solution for models not taking the material that you put on them?

Yes, I've already UV mapped the model in Blender. Yes, the model in blender has the texture applied to it. Yes, I've created a material and assigned the material to the Base Map. No, the standard shader in URP does not work(its all pink...). V2020.1.17f1 Personal.

[acoustic river]

@ornate ocean screen shot?

[near phoenix]

What texture size is optimal for unity? (looks the best but isnt over the top like an 8k texture)

[acoustic river]

most of the time 2k resolution would suffice

[ornate ocean]

@acoustic river Hope these help

[acoustic river]

is your normal flipped?

or maybe using the wrong render pipeline

[ornate ocean]

I'm using the Universal Render Pipeline

[ornate ocean]

In Blender? I can check and see

Importing the model into a brand new project lands me here

But, the material application doesn't match anywhere near whats on the blend file

[outer halo]

Materials aren't imported into Unity, you need to recreate.

[ornate ocean]

Huh? I'm not sure what you want me to recreate. I've already reimported the material(png material) as a material and applied it to the model

[thick ember]

In metallic mode of standard shader, lighter shades of grey on the specular map, are considered metals and darker non-metals. Range is between 0.0 and 1.0. I am confused what shade I should give to the transparent glass surface? Glass isn't metal so it shouldn't be lighter shades, I guess. Is there any usual shade between 0.0 and 1.0 that is used for transparent glass surfaces?

[ornate ocean]

For some reason the exported UV's only contain the face

A helpful fellow created UVViewer and its showing my model as having 3 different UV's. Unfortunately, all three of those UVs have issues with their layouts(random verts dragged over). Seems I need to figure out a way to fix the UV on import to Unity

[ornate ocean]

Solved - Unity doesn't like multiple UV maps and defaults to the first UV map which was only the head. After deleting the other two and keeping the final one - it works now.

[amber walrus]

Textures can be transferred between applications, but the shading logic itself cannot (which materials generally include).

[ornate ocean]

Okay

[half tangle]

Anyone know why my UV seams become visible during play mode?

Looks perfect in Blender and scene view

[glacial vector]

Might be mipmapping or something like that, you should dilate your textures to adjust for that

[half tangle]

Thanks I'll see if that works

[lone bough]

Hey everyone, so I've made a scene in Unity, using several different asset collections and I'd like to clean up my project.

Put all the materials/textures/models into neat folders with just the things I'm currently using.

Is there any easy way to find all the materials I'm using in a scene?

Or do I have to go through every prop individually and place them?

[native furnace]

I'm not aware of any built in way, despite Unity doing it automatically when you build the project.

But you can use this script to check if a gameobject in the scene is using a Material.
Got it somewhere online awhile ago, found it useful for that.
Could modify it for other components too, Or maybe even modify it to shuffle through a folder and check each of those materials.

using System.Linq;
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;

#if UNITY_STANDALONE
// Not supported when building to mobile
namespace Utils.EditorExtension
{
    public class MaterialChecker : Editor
    {
        [MenuItem("Assets/Check Material")]
        private static void CheckMaterial()
        {
            Material matToCheck = Selection.activeObject as Material;

            foreach (var renderer in FindObjectsOfType<MeshRenderer>())
            {
                if (renderer.sharedMaterials.Contains(matToCheck))
                    Debug.Log("Material used by " + renderer.transform.name, renderer.gameObject);
            }
        }

        [MenuItem("Assets/Check Material", true)]
        private static bool CheckMaterialValidation()
        {
            return Selection.activeObject is Material;
        }
    }
}
#endif 

It would work as is by:
Selecting a material.
Then use, Assets -> Check Material
Check the console to see what objects are using that material.

[lone bough]

@native furnace Thanks, I managed to sort it out. I exported the scene and then found that I could search stuff my type on the search bar. I when through and sorted the different items into folders and deleted copies.

[near phoenix]

I am new to unity, I have money so I have some questions for experienced unity developers

what are absolute must have tools/asstes/etc? (paid and free ones)
btw my criteria is I am using URP, making a FPS horror, it will have randomly generated rooms (it will take place underground, and it is based on SCP if you know what that is)

Also if anyone can recommend me a place where I can pay someone to model realistic humans with clothes based on my descriptions, UV and Rig them.
That would be cool since my modelling skills aren't good enough to make realistic humans.

[brave ravine]

I’ve commissioned a few 3d models, honestly it’s tough finding them unless you don’t care about the art style. And I’ve found few of them texture themselves, and never found one who also rigs

But I often started by browsing art station looking for art in a style I liked, the. writing the user if their profile mentioned an interest in freelance

[near phoenix]

yeah I would browse artstation for inspiration, but I can never make up my mind on an interior design

[near phoenix]

also that sounds helpful, I will try that thanks

[brave ravine]

To set expectations, I find that about 50% never respond at all, and another 20-30% are too busy/uninterested.

So don't get your heart set on any one person, and send a lot of emails 🙂

Rates can vary a LOT too. And having concept art often helps.

[near phoenix]

to make it not so work heavy, I plan on just asking for a female and male type of each outfit and then multiple female/male heads I can just switch out to create variation without so much work

[dusty jewel]

#🔀┃art-asset-workflow message This matter is still unsolved , If anyone can help i'd appreaciate it

[pastel steppe]

How new are you to Unity? That projects sounds quite ambitous.

[near phoenix]

yeah I am probably dumb for going for a project this big on my own, I hope to acquire devs to work with me in the future but with dedication and purchasing the few assets I cannot make on my own, I think I can eventually put out a playable game

[crimson mica]

hey guys, for some reason all of my (horribly made) 3d models that I've imported into unity have a much lower clipping range than any of the in-built unity models, such as the sphere or cube.

can someone please help me and explain what the cause of this is?

[ornate cloud]

so basically if you want to do it as simple as the vid I would suggest adding a cube, subdivide it and then add the modifier the video shows, then Id use sculpt mode and chose elastic deform

thats how I would do it, idk if there are easier ways

[pastel steppe]

Best of luck to you
