I can't remember Blender getting bigger this much this quickly. Sure, 228MB are still nothing for a modern 3D application of this magnitude but this is somewhat worrying. Freshly introduced Feta meme networking groundwork?

no its not, stop being an insufferable cunt, there is a reason for it (even if it eludes you right now).
Also, It is an alpha and not the final version. It might be trivial shit like prefabs for the asset library or other stuff bundled with Blender for convenience.
Even if its not the case, Blender grows, quite literally, so get with the times Grandpa or stick with 2.x and shut up.

I know less than nothing about Blender so I'm sorry in advance, I grabbed this model and its textures from a Source Film Maker file, and everything is working great - however I can't seem to do anything about the eyes except for grab the vertices/faces directly, I can't find where they're grabbing the face UV from, I can't seem to ungroup them from the rest of the face, could someone point me in the right direction?
This is the perfect model for a 30 second video bit I'm doing so I'm hesitant to try and find another one that may be already set up for blender.

Workflow question:

I want to take still shots of a character in various poses. I made the character's clothes in MD.

Now I don't want to rig the clothes, so I was thinking -> make an animation of the naked character from base pose to desired pose -> export the animation to MD -> simulate the cloth to desired pose -> export clothes back to blender -> align clothes to posed model -> render and take the shot -> repeat

Problem is, when I set materials for the clothes in MD, it looks like shit in Blender, so until now I preferred to do it in Blender. But it's just too much hassle to do it every time I reimport from MD for every pose on an already convoluted workflow.

Any suggestions for a different approach?

Do lights have nodes? I'm working on an object that has baked f-curves from audio, the way the material works is that I have a keyframed multiply node connected to the emission, and that boosts the power received from the audio keyframes. I want to do the same thing for a light, because if I simply try to keyframe the power it's only doing so in the nano-watts range, which is basically nothing.

I'm a complete newbie but i rigged my first character with rigify, and it's pretty easy to control once you know what does what. I recommend just watching a tut for the general use

You have to manually enable the poles for knees and elbow through the interface, it'll make things smoother

i personally can't imagine doing your own rig from scratch, if your model is a human rigify saves you a lot of time, then you can tweak it

Anonymous at Mon, 8 Nov 2021 00:51:39 UTC No. 860741

>>860575
Rigify is easy as fuck to use and set up, but it will be broken after you generate, so you will need to know how to fix it, and if you make changes to your model or realize that your joints are off you will need to regenerate it which will destroy any customizations you added, if you're a beginner go through rigging yourself, there's a lot to learn, and you will be better at modelling if you understand how your model interacts with your rig.
In my opinion Rigify is way too complex for it's own good and features a load of things that I just don't use, so I build my own rigs.
Weight painting is the real hazard.

For anyone who might face this problem in the future, I found the solution and it's simple as shit:

When you import an image as planes, the top option defaults to "Linear" switch it to "Closest" like I have here and then those seams will not only go away in the viewport, they go away in the renders too.

Anonymous at Mon, 8 Nov 2021 15:19:33 UTC No. 860849

>>860634
Source eyes are not like Blender eyes.
Source eye mesh does not move. Instead, Source moves a texture across the mesh to mimic eye movement and distorts it to mimic corneal bulge. A Source eye material is nothing like a Blender material.

https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/EyeRefract

It would probably be easiest to look at a Blender model and try recreating the eye material from there. The eye uv mapping is usually simple circles. You will need two eye bones to actually control movement in Blender.

If you don't know much about Blender, a 30-second animation will be quite a challenge.

Been trying to look for ways/methods/adjustments in cycles or eevee nodes to make renders in Blender look closer to good looking SFM/GMOD renders. The problem is that at most I was directed to this plugin:
https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Blender_VertexLitGeneric

Its a good find. And looks very helpful in having the surfaces of 3D objects mimic the look of the Source Filmmaker/GMOD.
Is there any way that I can make the lighting and rendering mimic the video game look of SFM/GMOD? Or at the very least look like a Source2 Filmmaker animation? I love the videogamey style of it and hopefully it can squeeze out a good amount of detail within the confines of what my PC is capable of.
>inb4 just use SFM
I hate how much it crashes. I don't wanna deal with that anymore.

I don't mean to be so harsh towards you- You're curious about this, and I think it is a cool goal- But I really want to see you get the rubber on the road and start spitting some test renders to try and nail the look. I have a short fuse for self-sabotage, and I think you should have either found a solution by now, or given up to explore other solutions. How about neither- Just start getting your hands dirty in the pit ASAP. You'll regret not brute forcing it sooner.

Is it possible to add a delay to the child of constraint? As I understand, Blender had a feature like that a few years ago, but then it got poofed for reasons.
I know fuck-all about coding, so maybe I'm asking for the impossible, but I feel like something to that effect should be possible through baking the keyframes at least.

I don't fucking understand what background process it needs to finish as it closes down but these kept happening since the last update for 2.93. I don't understand what the fuck is wrong with it. The memory for the program doesn't empty up properly maybe? I really don't understand. It just starts chugging away at the hard drive as if it's trying to either write down or read something for a good chunk of time after it's closed down.

Doesn't even look like you have it selected right, hombre. Look at your hierarchy on the top right, and you can see you're only in sculpt mode for the doughnut. You can tell by the little icon to the left of the name on that panel.

As for your selection...
Orange means it's "part" of a selection (like you shift+selected multiple objects), but not the "active" selection (light yellow).
Leave sculpt mode, select ONLY the icing, and then go into sculpt mode.

The webm I don't think so, but the gif looks like regular shapekeys with drivers. You just have a shapekey influenced by the bone position for things like eye open/closed, and just move/scale a bone to move and scale the eye.

I don't rig much. is the purpose of these layers to have separate normalized weights for face and head, or what? why not have all bones in the same armature?
total influence can go above 100%. you can assign bones to layers and hide selectively. you can save shapekeys from armature. I don't think any of this is what you're looking for though.

now all the verts being influenced by both the head bone and face bones have weights totaling more than 1.0, so they're getting double transformed. the verts weighted to 1.0 on the nose bone and 1.0 on the head bone now behave as if they were weighted to 0.5 on each, and so on.
you could go through and manually normalize the weights group-by-group, but it's a tedious and brittle process. layering like in the patch makes it so the sum of all the weights of one armature can be automatically subtracted from the influence another, like a normalizing mask. makes rigging and skinning easier, and would make tools like the automatic weights operator more useful, by letting you keep complex areas separate from each other in discrete armature objects.

I've seen textures being able to be moved around using a bone. Is that using drivers or what?
For reference, it was this hair highlight on an anime model, the model itself had a special donut looking bone which when selected and moved around, it'd also make the procedural texture of the hair highlight move around, up and down or rotate it like you wanted it to.

there's a dozen ways to do that. you can add an empty and constrain it to a bone, then reference it's transform from wherever (UV modifiers or straight from the shader). or with drivers, yeah.

Meanwhile Cycles takes a little while but manages to render just fine. Rendering with eevee crashes as well as expected

The best way to move forward is through your own experimentation- Never fear the crashes, just save often, and adjust your solutions accordingly.

The cup part looks better, shape wise- On my image, I applied a subdivision surface modifier. Notice, I have edge loops near the ends of the faces- near the "folds" of the shape. These are support loops for the subdivision surface - (also for the smooth shaded normals, w/o the subd). I think you're almost there- You don't need so many edges on the cylinder either- My example above, I used 8. Looking good though, and I like the potion flask you have going next to the glass.

Split the edges where the mouth should go so you have an opening, make a mouth-pouch (pretty sure that's what they're called), and then grab some verts make them into a circle and inset the faces for the eyes.
Don't sell yourself short. The shapes are mostly there.

So this is a really complex question. I'm a 3D artist that can model sculpt texture rig but-
>tl;dr
I downloaded Mustard's Tifa model to make coomer stuff dont judge me. So, the rig has custom properties and I can change all that on the custom UI included.
>the problem
So I have to move the rig to another point on the scene. The model moves everywhere except for the boobs and butt because they have custom physics enabled. If I turn off physics in the Ui, the boobs and butt move along with the rig.
>collisions
There's also an option to enable collisions but I can't get it to work? I have no idea.

How do I fix the physics issue? I'm not good with either physics or collisions in blender.

texturing in this program gives me a brain tumor, i can't for the life of me figure out the curves stroke, it wont apply the stroke and it cant snap to the surface of the mesh making it useless because 2d projection. Cant tell if im genuinely just mediocre at texturing or blender's texture drawing is just that difficult to use. One thing i struggle at the most is making sharp good looking strokes.

>There's very obvious seams in any of my attempts.
Post 'em. There's a lot of possible reasons for seams, could be the texture (whatever you're using may not be tileable by default) or the mesh itself.

>Substance Painter
>nodes
Painter is for texturing (using whatever you come up with in Designer, among other things) and baking.
Designer lets you create materials with nodes. Blender's nodes are perfectly functional, but Designer just gives you more tools to work with. It's also less likely to fry your GPU than messing with Blender's procedural textures.

>Is switching to Substance worth the effort?
I'd say yes. It takes no time at all to get used to the UI and from there you'll just have a better time texturing than in Blender. The workflow of exporting substance textures /materials and importing them into blender is now more streamlined than ever as well.

well, I know how I'd do this with objects, but haven't used it with rigs.
I'd imagine you need an actual spline (i.e. curve) to tie the bones to. and possibly then hook its control points to empties (not sure how automated this setup is).

>>864051
small scale or large scale (i.e. mountains or fist-sized debris?)
for large scale: displace with texture (mix a bunch of noise nodes), then sculpt for specific shapes and composition. for small scale it's usually down to playing around with scattering, may be a good excuse to learn the geo nodes.

SP automates a bunch of tasks that would be extremely tedious in Blender. the big ones are: working in layers, mask generators (from ao, curvature and normals) and multi-channel painting. also non-destructive resolution changing.
I'd also say "switching" to SP is no effort at all if you've ever used photoshop for 5 minutes. eventually you'd want to learn relatively obscure features like anchors, but initial barrier is very low.

I have a sneaking suspicion that you just want to unwrap cylinders and don't know about rectify. whatever it is you're doing, this seems like a dumb way/order to approach it.

but to your question, some ugly non-auto ways:
unwrap, scale from individual origins x500, scale each corner cluster to 0, then scale back down and fill the space.
if they're all 2x2: make a copy, decimate-unsubdivide, reset UVs, subdivide back, then either shrinkwrap to original mesh, or transfer UVs to it.

How the fuck am i supposed to mirror topology in real time in blender? Everytime i use Topology Mirror under mirror settings it does nothing. I need to keep the other half of mesh on unmirrored UVmap, and whenever i dissolve verts, or move them nothing happens at all. I thought the issue was imperfect symmetry, so i created a fresh cube and subdived it. Still nothing happened, my only solution for my issue is disabling topology mirror and using X Mirror with edge sliding, but it takes more time than it would with just dissolving them on both sides at once

Hello, I'm really new to Blender and wanted to try 3D printing. I imported a model then wanted to make some changes to it. Did a bit of sculpting, but noticed that when I'd pull some sections it'd pull on parts I didn't want it to. At first I used masking to isolate the parts I wanted to work on but it wasn't 100% because of the complex shape, so I eventually isolated some vertices and separated the mesh into multiple objects.

Making sure not to affect the bases of the new objects so I could put them back together, I did my manipulation then tried to put them back. I didn't realize that by separating them I was creating new vertices, and so when I did eventually put them back together and join the objects, there were lots of small tears throughout the mesh and way too many to try to repair manually.

I've tried using cleanup->fill holes, limited dissolve (which is what you're seeing in the screenshot) and other things. Nothing seems to be working. Any ideas?

Did you remove doubles?
I think it's called "merge by distance" now. If you select all your geo (or more specifically all the verts around the problem areas), and use that operation, it'll merge verts that are close together or overlapping into one.
It should just work at the default value, but you can also incrementally increase it until it merges verts at the distances you want.

I didn't actually try that, thank you! It did remove some of the tears, but it seems to arbitrarily not work on others. Here's a section with vertices that are practically touching yet the function doesn't do anything to them. Any chance you know why?

I did also try the Manifold function from the 3D print add-on. It ended up creating more holes in the mesh, strangely.

Can someone explain why my booleans aren't working? I need a hole in this plane and I'm trying to put one through the cube. It worked previously with a longer door like cube for the same plane. I'm guessing it's because of the edge in the middle?

is there a way to use a wasd camera movement? i tried the walk modal but it resets the camera position to god knows where everytime i enter it.

usually booleans fail when there are self-intersections in either mesh, often it gets fixed if you tick "self" box. extra edge shouldn't matter.
>>864740
walk mode is right, you confirm it with enter or left click, shouldn't reset enything

I don't get it. it stops where you stop. how else do you expect it to work?
if you want the camera "viewfinder" to occupy more of the viewport, unlock "camera to view" and adjust.

turn off the subdiv modifier and you'll see that the underlying geo actually IS getting thinner, but the algorithm the modifier uses is stretching it back out.
to make smaller details with the subdiv modifier on you need to add more geometry to the underlying mesh (like adding loops with CTRL-R)

Here ya go. Keep this nodegroup handy for future projects. Just gotta plug it in after your Texture Coordinates.
Amount is the strength, and since it's based off of a noise texture, it essentially uses "samples" for the blur, so you can adjust that for a finer grain. Though it works fine at default.

Here's a directional blur as well. Works the same as the Image blur (though I forgot to mention you plug the blur node into the vector input of your texture).
Only quirk with this one is you put it after the Texture Coordinate like before, but also plug the blur node itself into another Texture Coordinate node, essentially sandwiching it. Then connect the result into the texture's vector like normal.

Adjusting the z-rotation of the second TO node changes the direction of the blur. If it's not working properly when you rotate it, you might have to adjust the first TO's z-rotation to be the inverse of the second. So if the second is at 90°, the first has to be at -90°.

Actually, I made a few mistakes. TO should be TC (texture Coordinate).
And on the directional blur, the first TC controls the blur direction, and the second controls the texture rotation. If things don't work, though inversing the pair seems to work well for it.

Good god, blender's nodes could really use some work. Shame the SDK is downright retarded if you want to write ANSI C/C++ plugins.

Ay dudes, how would I go about transferring the rotation of one object to another, but onto a different axis?
So if I rotate an object on the Z axis, it rotates the Y of the other.
I'm guessing it's something to do with the "Transform" constraint, but I can't seem to get it to work. I'm guessing it has to do with the fact that the source object is also the parent object, but that shouldn't matter I don't think.

What's the best way to add geometry to a sub divided object without screwing up the existing model? I'm trying to give this a rounded base.

Nevermind, I'm fucking retarded I guess. I thought just putting the values in the right spots what how you did it, but you actually have to specify the axis on the bottom with the dropdown. I thought that dropdown was asking what axis to affect, not where to draw the data from.

You can keep the two objects separate and use floating geometry + a transfer data modifier to copy the normals to give the illusion that it's a single mesh.

Also the new OIDN is seriously impressive
Left was an 88 seconds render, right was 8 (EIGHT) seconds.
EIGHT
That's 7.5 frames per minute
450 frames per hour
Which is 18.75 seconds of animation at 24 fps
Per hour

How do I move multiple objects based on only one of the objects origin points and have them stay in the same place relative to each other?
some of the objects also have a lattice modifier if that matters.

Make sure the object you want as your pivot point is selected last (yellowish outline instead of orange outline) then set your pivot point as "active element"
