Got some noobie question about animations and exporting them to Unity:
- Why some of my bones rotation are carried trough different animations when I switch from one to another. For example, if a rotate my feet on animation A and go to an already made animation B, animation B will inherit the rotation of animation A's feet. Why does that happen ?
- When exporting to Unity, I have a lot of problems with the character's rotation and location. When making a animation, does the location of the character matters in Blender?

...to archive the effect you want, you need to implement the algorythm into blender the comrade wrote as a new option, because the way blender calculates the voronoid makes it impossible to make each edge equal width - you get always a distribution between 0 and 1 in each cell, but cells differ in size, larger ones have more in between values than small ones -> unequal edge thickness.

what you need are the n-sphere radius edges between the cells, and from there, you equaly distribute the same values in each cell to the center point ...

Oh boy that's gonna be difficult because SFM has a large userbase, but I'll pick out personal favorites of mine. Hopefully they can illustrate the way the SFM renders objects and lights objects.

SFM rendering in dark environments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjXuC3ljbMc

Winglet is a very good SFM animator and I'd regard his work as the very best SFM can provide:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLDHLb-aQrE

Since tf2 is also a bit cliched with the Source Filmmaker because the game models come with that program there is also this Portal animation really phenomenal stuff: https://youtu.be/suOYQJhkFzU?t=42

Images if you don't have time to watch the videos: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/NxKa0P

https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Dm2wO

https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Oy0BXk

https://www.artstation.com/artwork/0nrNA5

Before you ask the reason I like the way Source Filmmaker (Source 2 Filmmaker on Valve's Source2 Engine also kind of has the SFM look too, but allegedly it is too little of a step forward in what it could have been) is because I just like how it renders things to look like video game cinematics, and sometimes even the craziest shit meant to be taken seriously can have the audience suspend its disbelief because it is rendered like a video game cutscene. Similar to how one suspends their disbelief when they watch a WOW cutscene or that awful video game based movie for Final Fantasy called "Kingsglaive."

I also feel that the renders should hit a sweet balance between the best graphical quality and the fastest rendering times and hopefully won't kill my 1060 graphics too quickly.

eevee can look significantly better than that, or is the goal to make it look as dodgy?

If you want something to look like it's rendered in a game engine then learn unity or ue4 and export your animations to that.

Anonymous at Sun, 27 Jun 2021 02:33:03 UTC No. 835540

>>835539
If by dodgy you mean to make eevee look a bit lower quality to match SFM/S2FM's quality when done right then yes that is what I want.

Unironically feel that sometimes low grade CGI when pushed to its limits and used to its best as one can somehow gives it a appeal that professional CGI lacks.

My best possible example is how the earlier seasons of RWBY while looking a bit low quality had a nice "homemade" look to its CGI that gave it its nice charm. The upgraded CGI almost completely ruined the original 3D charm the earlier seasons had.

I need some help, how can I use my texture's alpha in this material without making a separate file for the mask? if I use the mask I just use Transparent BSDF and a mixer, the problem is editing the textures since I can't see the results in real time (unless I am missing a button which I probably am).

Same way as what you want to do with a mix shader node and a transparent BSDF, connect the alpha of your image to the factor of the mix shader instead of using a mask.

I think the issue is that the output of your last multiply node is a color instead of a shader so it won't work with the mix shader. A quick fix would be to plug the output of your last multiply node into an emission shader and use that for the mix shader input.

Its better than nothing, but damn Youtube and google manages to fail me because anime/manga shaders keep taking up space for what I'm looking for.

The best I've ever come close is learning that eevee is a bit like SFM in terms of rendering it but I need to know what to tweak to get closer to SFM or at the very least Source2 Filmmaker quality of renders: https://youtu.be/AlxCgDref2A?t=182

It would also be nice to have renders that stand out from the rest of the hyper realistic hardware limit pushing renders if I ever want to start a portfolio. Could also be the start of a nice style to stand out too.

And try this for anime shaders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCF29s2FRsQ

Legit looks like RWBY's original animation but shaded better and has a nice "homemade" CGI look to it.

...save the file, open it with an other blender instance, goto file, append/link, choose shader file, choose materials, volia, there is your shader you can import into your project. do this everytime you need a new instance of the shader.

the other way is to use the blender 3's (alpha) assetbrowser. open your shader file, add the folder where you saved the shader as source folder in the preferrences file path, mark your shader as asset, save file, open assetbrowser, drag and drop the shader onto a object ...

It depends on what you intend to do with the hammer. For example, if you want to make an animation in which the head is pulled off, then you want proper geometry. Or reuse both parts as clutter, lying around separately, later on or something. Otherwise, spare the vert count and just use textures to indicate where the holes should be.
This applies to just about everything. If a part of the model isn't supposed to be seen in-game, then you can get lazy with it.

You can add some extra geometry around the bending parts. An easy way to do this is to just bevel along the offending edges with ctrl+b or to inset faces with i.

Then you don't need to retopo, just convert them to meshes. Just make sure to reduce the curve (and bevel curve if any) resolution to something manageable beforehand. Then you can use the grab brush or proportional editing to fix the clipping and you're done.

I've been doing 3D-modelling for about three or four weeks now. This is my first character that I've sculpted, retopoed, baked, textured, rigged etc. It has been tons of fun. Especially now that she's rigged and I can easily pose her. I've really enjoyed making her pieces of clothing and hair styles and other accessories too. I already spammed a bit in the wip-thread, but I really like how she turned out, so I wanted to show my coomer-tier collage of her here too.

The process is often a bit painful in Blender, but it goes like this: Add a material to your low res model. Add a texture to that material. Do not connect the texture to anything yet. Select the texture. Select your high res model. Add the low res model to your selection with shift-click. Go to render properties and change render engine to cycles. Scroll down to bake-menu in the render properties. Select Normal as the bake type. Click the "selected to active" checkbox. Add a little bit of extrusion there. Finally, click Bake. If you see artifacst or discontinuities, play with the settings and bake again until they're gone. Once you're done, you can connect the normal texture in the material.

If you get transparent normal textures, make sure your high res and low res model are both enabled to render.

Or substance painter, which has some actual uses, industry standard, and a perpetual license on steam for half the price, on sale now too. Although it feels wierd to say buy it on steam and industry standard in the same sentence. Definetly a safe purchas now because Adobe just half killed substance proper and jacked up the price.

I'm already good enough at proportions, but my sculpts still fail because I suck at getting the forms (primary, secondary, etc) right.
In that pic you posted her collarbones are insanely cylindrical, while in the references I am using her collarbone is more like a thin line shape, which I failed to capture now that I am looking at it.
I'm starting over, just have to sink in the hours practicing and understand the forms I get with each tool and stroke. No way around it.

They're moving everything over from the substance site and currently have two subsciption plans, one being a new one . They also changed a bunch of names and logos and are adding a modeller with augmented reality modelling or something but that will probably be a mess.

Basically, next year they'll probably just increase the price to be more in line with other adobe products.

I assume you're talking about the mesh seams. Those are unique to blender and as far as I know can't be exported to other formats. BUT you can import a mesh from one blender scene to another by selecting File > Append.. Seams and all. Or by using the plugin "uv toolkit" you can take a models uv islands and apply the seams from them.

How the hell is sculpting a human face so hard? I try to make myself a beautiful 3D waifu, but my sculpts just keep looking wrong.

Because we are very sensitive to human faces and male faces are harsher so you default to it more.

I would say good female faces are the hardest thing to sculpt. Also, and this is a wierd one, but since you never actually see completely naked bald women they can look freaky at first glance. Especially with grey skin, no eyebrows, and empty sockets where eyes should be.

Yes, I've noticed. It's absolutely incredible how moving lips barely enough to even see in any direction makes me perceive some different emotion in my model's face.

I just wish I could say what I need to change. Right now, I feel like the mouth is too low, jaw is too thin, chin juts too much, tip of nose is too low, bottom lip too wide.... Maybe. It's just guesses. I change those things and she'll still look wrong.

Lets say you have a texture from some other software that has zero bleed area, making texture seams super obvious and obnoxious. Is there any straightforward and at least semi-automated way to add edge bleed?
Closest I can think of is baking the texture set with a decent amount of bleed, but that would just bake the problems of the original to the new.

That works if all the edges are nice, flattened, and clean to the edges of the UV islands, I've done that in the past. It doesn't work too well when you're dealing with layers that have their own transparency to them already, which is the main problem I'm currently having.
Guess doing it as a final pass thing may have been more sensible than trying to fix layers as I go.

Maybe you have modified the mesh but haven't updated the tree. Or maybe you actually don't have a face where you think you do. Bear in mind that a vertex of a face can be very close and the face itself very far if the face is big enough. Also, find_nearest doesn't select anything. It just gives you the location, normal and the index.

I extracted a model from a game, this is one of the meshes. It has a boob slider to increase the size of the breasts which is why I guess the breast geometry is strange. I'm wondering what the simplest way to make the breasts bigger would be? There isn't a shapekey for it.

the game probably uses bone scaling instead of a shape key

Bone scaling is underrated and great. Shape keys are really only useful for face stuff and deformation edge cases.

activate proportional editing, select connected only and the falloff you think works best.

Does this general have some kind of link list? Like "start here" or "helpful links"?

How's the Blender video editor? Is it any good, or should I just treat the Blender video editor as if it doesn't exist and give Kdenlive a go?

Watch flipped normals videos. Be ultra sceptical of any other youtube tutorials. Don't start with anime. Don't be scared of sculpting, it's like half the work.

Unless you want to make anime. What do you want to do, anon?

Is your goal to learn to render in eevee or cycles? Then yes. I'd still hold flipped normals up as a good course but I don't know if they are actually much good with blender.

Blender guru is decent enough but if i remember correctly he has a very heavy focus on using the renderer. Maybe his paid courses mix it up a bit but looking offhand I doubt it.

you sound like you've never even looked at texture nodes, really
just find a skin tone you like, turn subsurface scattering up to 0.1 - 0.2, and feed a small scale texture into a bump node

about to strangle the idiot who put "white noise" over "noise texture" in the texture node search box in the latest release

I'm kinda stumped on trying to find out the root of lagginess when in pose mode.
Model is a simple DAZ human model, butter smooth in object mode, but when I swap to pose mode, it feels sluggish as fuck. Subdiv modifiers are turned off, naturally and the I'm in Studio view with Studio lighting. Is there a way I can find out what the fuck is causing the sluggish-ness?

Probably not it, but, having the 'Properties' displayed in the 'Item' tab of the side panel can cause lag if there are a lot of things in it. Just minimizing it with the little triangle fixes it for me, though i have never actually had it happen except in object mode.

Should i remove attributes once they're no longer needed?
Since anonymous attributes aren't a thing yet i end up with a handful of redundant attributes for each vertex/point

You probably have something else selected on the distance, you could use fill or select the edges an do a bridge to close that off.

Make sure there's no duplicate vertices and try again
