This'll work

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 3:38 PM

#

Right so this is how it looks in blender (ima import it into unity as an fbx rn)

#

Btw. the one underneath the fbx is what 3D capture image by render doc

#

This is it in unity @vestal drum

#

Exactly the same just without the texture

sullen creek Nov 23, 2022, 3:41 PM

#

fathom ridge This is it in unity <@166982635950702592>

That looks different to what you shared before.

#

#

So is there or is there no issue with the mesh itself?

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 3:42 PM

#

it's a different render

#

sometimes there isn't

#

sometimes there is

#

It's weird

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 3:43 PM

#

sullen creek

but the one i sent this one. was of my personal project.. and for some reason.. the other one i sent has nthn wrong with it apart from the textures

#

It's weird

sullen creek Nov 23, 2022, 3:43 PM

#

Ok, then we're back to what I asked you at the very start: did you try extracting the textures?

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 3:43 PM

#

Nope I did not

sullen creek Nov 23, 2022, 3:43 PM

#

Then do it.

#

I suggest reading through this page:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/FBXImporter-Materials.html

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 3:44 PM

#

The model has tons of these

#

and nothing close to what's shown on the article

sullen creek Nov 23, 2022, 3:44 PM

#

Because you're looking in the wrong place.

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 3:44 PM

#

Ahh

#

where do I look?

sullen creek Nov 23, 2022, 3:46 PM

#

Start from reading this whole section:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/models-importing.html

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 3:47 PM

#

I assume the first one

sullen creek Nov 23, 2022, 3:48 PM

#

At least these 2 sections

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 3:48 PM

#

I think I've found the tab

#

Ima just press extract materials and see what it does

#

Ok? its opened up file explorer and it's asking me to find a certain folder called Materials

#

but I Don't have one

#

tf

#

Help?

sullen creek Nov 23, 2022, 3:52 PM

#

Did you finish reading all the pages?

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 3:52 PM

#

Somewhat.. And I'm just confused

#

mission failed successfully

#

dlich

sullen creek Nov 23, 2022, 3:54 PM

#

Read it thoroughly. There are some settings that you probably shouldn't have selected if you knew what they are.

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 3:54 PM

#

I'm reading this atm

#

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/FBXImporter-Materials.html

#

So I should just choose standard because that apparently tells unity to use what's there

#

right?

sullen creek Nov 23, 2022, 3:56 PM

#

Yes.

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 3:57 PM

#

Still nthn

sullen creek Nov 23, 2022, 3:57 PM

#

Well, what did you do?

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 3:57 PM

#

Chose standard and pressed apply

sullen creek Nov 23, 2022, 3:58 PM

#

So you didn't do what I asked you at the very beginning and again a few messages ago?

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 3:58 PM

#

I am reading it yes

#

...

sullen creek Nov 23, 2022, 3:59 PM

#

Not just reading. I suggested you reading it so that you know how to do something else that I asked you about.

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 3:59 PM

#

Such as?

#

I'm sorry

sullen creek Nov 23, 2022, 3:59 PM

#

extracting the materials/textures.

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 4:00 PM

#

Yes and then it shows up file explorer but I Don't have any materials for it to select (a folder)

#

see

#

Like bruh I don't have a materials folder

#

OHHHHH

#

NVM

#

IT WANTS ME TO CREATE ONE SO IT CAN EXTRACT THEM INTO THERE

#

BRUHHHHH

#

But still

#

the fbx still has no texture

#

Dlich

vestal drum Nov 23, 2022, 4:02 PM

#

They don't usually

sullen creek Nov 23, 2022, 4:02 PM

#

Then, it's an issue with exporting from blender

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 4:02 PM

#

this is tiring

vestal drum Nov 23, 2022, 4:03 PM

#

You can import textures separately and if Unity can find them with corresponding names under a "Textures" folder they'll be automatically assigned to the embedded materials

vestal drum Nov 23, 2022, 4:03 PM

#

fathom ridge this is tiring

Working with ripped assets is about 5 times harder than ones you make

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 4:03 PM

#

Is it possible for you to do it in a step by step?
1)
2)
3)
etc???

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 4:04 PM

#

vestal drum Working with ripped assets is about 5 times harder than ones you make

I prefer the authenticity. rather then relying on myself. plus it ads to the nostalgia

#

So. How do I word this. there's an issue with blender exporting my model. Then it just turns out white. (How in seven shades of goat sh* do I word that 💀)

You can practice basic model exporting first
And after that tackle a spaghetti mesh like this

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 4:08 PM

#

Any reccomended tut (pls provide one I'm stressed enough rn as is)

vestal drum Nov 23, 2022, 4:08 PM

#

https://youtu.be/nhJ8EJ_GtLI the first chapter of this tutorial is the most comprehensive one I've seen

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 4:51 PM

#

@vestal drum I'm watching the tut now. But does it matter That I'm using blender version 3.0.1? and render doc version 1.13? oh and unity version 2021.3.13f1

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 5:11 PM

#

@vestal drum At 2:50 I can't do that.. I only have an fbx what do I do?

It's not intended to solve your specific problem, but to familiarize you with the importing process
That's how you learn these things, gradually

Then how do I solve meh problum

vestal drum Nov 23, 2022, 5:34 PM

#

fathom ridge Then how do I solve meh problum

Nobody here has an exact solution, since it's quite a specific problem
Hence the best thing you can do is learn the ropes so you'll have what's needed to find the solution yourself

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 5:35 PM

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 8:13 PM

#

@vestal drum I've had a thought. Instead of going through all this palava. I could just download the Easy roads asset from the asset store (Which is free) Take a screenshot of the map I'm wanting from google maps (Using the windows snioping tool) Import the image into unity and trace the roads..

#

BUT. How'd I make the image so I can trace it?

vestal drum Nov 23, 2022, 8:17 PM

#

fathom ridge BUT. How'd I make the image so I can trace it?

You can make a texture and a material out of any image

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 8:17 PM

#

Right. Would I have to turn the image into a sprite?

vestal drum Nov 23, 2022, 8:17 PM

#

No
Do you know what a material does?

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 8:19 PM

#

I know how to make one but not 100% sure what it does exactly

#

can you tell me in short (Don't send me to a unity docs page pls)

vestal drum Nov 23, 2022, 8:24 PM

#

That's not such a bad idea
Images are textures (essentially)
Materials display textures on surfaces (among other things)
If you want to display an image on a surface, the connection between these concepts is fairly straightforward

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 8:25 PM

#

So I'd make a cube. make a material. Import my image. put the image on the material and put the material on the cube?

#

Does the image have to be any particular size?

vestal drum Nov 23, 2022, 8:27 PM

#

Sounds correct so far
Though you'll probably want a plane or a quad than a cube, assuming you want to display a flat image

vestal drum Nov 23, 2022, 8:27 PM

#

fathom ridge Does the image have to be any particular size?

Power of two dimensions are recommended

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 8:28 PM

#

vestal drum Sounds correct so far Though you'll probably want a plane or a quad than a cube,...

Yea.. Something I can trace around.. Yknow Like when you put sketching paper up against a monitor screen or smthn

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 8:28 PM

Power of two?

I've got no idea wym

@vestal drum "Power of two." The one thing that's gotten me beyond confused in the last 24hrs. (Asside from the 3D rendering stuff)

The article lists power of two numbers
An image texture's dimensions should be one of those numbers, ideally

fathom ridge Nov 23, 2022, 8:38 PM

#

Any size you reccomend?

vestal drum Nov 23, 2022, 8:39 PM

Anything between 2 and 8192
