Yeah, I think my technical understanding of Blender is good enough, but I agree that my art fundamentals just aren't there (yet). I was in a semi-sleep deprived state when I made this, so that probably doesn't help either. Next one I make, I really want to focus on composition above all else.

Yeah but that means you got a bunch of extra edges taking up polycount. Creasing is nice because you can just tell blender to make an edge sharp without adding loops to the mesh itself.

you can use sphere projection for the main body - that gives you a clean rectangular unwrap
The lever doesn't need seams - maybe one on the the edge if you want to paint it on both sides
Unwrapping circular shapes like the ring and the upper/lower extrusions on the body can be done using "follow active quads"
The fuze housing is simple but needs a few seams - not being connected to the cylindrical adapter below makes this easier

In total there shouldn't be more than ~8 Islands. Look how much empy space you have.

That's interesting. Does that branch fix how the compositor works, though? By that I mean that, when I tried, I got the impression that it works very differently from the shader nodes in that things doesn't seem to be processes on a by pixel way, but rather in a by image way (try adjust the levels varying based on the y-coordinate, for example, it doesn't work).

That seemed more limiting to me. I makes impossible to make some stuff I wanted.

Try arrays and weld modifier.

There are multiple ways to go about this. One of them is to make the Y-shaped junction the base of the array, but then you'll get some odd no-where-going branches on the edges. Another is to make the whole hexagon, but cut it the outer vertices so that they'll join together. You'll get some non-manifold edges. Another is just to duplicate the whole thing exactly and let the weld modifier take care of joining them.

why does properly unwrapping even matter and where can i find a guide to even do it. whenever i google "how to unwrap" it just tells you to literally put the fucking uvs in the box, with no tips on etiquette or even a vague representation of how to do it "correctly"

Anonymous at Sat, 1 Jan 2022 00:13:08 UTC No. 873128

>>873121
the reasons for proper uv unwrap are for example
>getting the most out of the uv space you have
>the less space wasted the higher the details later on your model without having to up your imagesize
>non distorted and clean uv isles also make it easy for you to later edit your texture file for example in photoshop where you can simply place stuff like decals on your texture. if the uv is distorted or the isles are randomly placed in the uv space your later added decals would either be partially and randomly visible on your model later and/or distorted

you do not have to care about clean uvs for example if you just want to make fun sculpts that you paint directly on the 3D model. it will look meh but technically works.

You can add one if your base resolution isn't enough but as the other anon said it can cause problems with the weld modifier collapsing edges it shouldn't. But it's always a good idea to have one after the cloth modifier to make it look better.

I found the answer to my question coincidentally. Was looking up models to see how other people handle topology. it seems like for tight areas like where the breasts meet the ribs, or where the ass meets the leg, the artist makes the mesh "fold in" on itself, and that makes the nice pinching effect.
Though I was hoping this wasn't the case, cause I was banking on there being a more elegant way to keep the topology of clipping geometry separate

What's weird is if I make a plane, and combine an RGB node and a transparency node in a mix shader node (using whatever I want for the factor) the transparency works perfectly fine. I only have this problem with the volume scatter. Will definitely put in a report tomorrow. Even if it's functioning as intended, it seems like it would be useful to be able to export an 8bit RGBA png of exactly what is in the render window.

I'm trying to work on some animation with multiple models on screen and I sometimes disabled them for better performance, but the memory usage won't go down when they're disabled so Blender inevitably ends up crashing at some point because of it.

I have a modular character where the head, torso, and legs are separate meshes. I made my character a new shirt, but I think I messed up the weight paints.

There's a loop at the bottom of the shirt which is a 1:1 overlap with a loop at the top of the legs. This is because I cloned the fullbody mesh a few times then just deleted the parts they didn't need in order to make the modular parts.

Is there any way I could take the weights from the loop on the legs/fullbody and apply them to the loop on the shirt?

Why is blender still saving the image internally, instead of writing it to the file path. This is the piece of code I'm using.
bpy.ops.object.bake(type='COMBINED', save_mode='EXTERNAL', filepath='tmp/bake.png')

It's not writing the file to filepath that I specify. It's only saving it internally.

Is there a way to bake a texture exactly as it appears in Solid view/ Material Preview? In particular I'm trying to bake an alpha clip threshold into it, because that's what was on the entire time I was painting the transparent textures.
Basically while I was painting it only rendered the colors on the transparent meshes as having either an alpha of 1 or 0, despite the UVs/texture itself showing a full range... I didn't realize that when I exported the fbx it would actually apply the texture normally instead of the way it appeared in the viewport, pic related (actual export looks even worse than the right img, just a bunch of translucent brushstrokes)
Tried getting around it by taking the existing texture png into an art program and duplicating/ merging it with itself a few dozen times to bump up its opacity, but that also had the problem of making previously unseen and undesired brushtrokes completely opaque (where they were hidden by the clip threshold prior), and it looked comparatively terrible even after cleanup

the command is called "threshold"
in ps, do layer>layer mask>from transparency, then image>adjustments>threshold
or in gimp, right click layer>add layer mask>transfer alpha, then colors>threshold
or in blender shader nodes, feed image alpha through "color ramp" in "constant" mode

I can't answer directly, but consider: looking at your example, it seems like the spiral doesn't keep going through to 0,0,0, but terminates in a circle after reaching a very small width. So maybe let it get less thick, and put a cylinder at the end to fill the space.

That's what I HATE about Daz models past G2.
They reduced the base resolution mesh to 1999 levels and force everyone who wants to have some detail to slap on grafts that cause all sorts of problems.
>b-but muh HD MAPS!!
That shit doesn't help when you need actually geometry in body parts like for example sizes that make sideviews blocky as fuck or lacking definition because no real pinches or overlaps.

G2 was the last good Daz model that came with a high enough rez for cool morphs without the need for stupid ass grafts.

Tried converting an older Samsung tablet (tab 4) into a drawing tablet today.

Web-based Weylu has too much of a delay and can't capture continous strokes with a decent precision
GfxTablet only works for Unix-based systems and i can't get Blender to run on WSL
VirtualTablet has ads in it; but with a direct usb connection getting rid of any delay (treating the tablet as an input device). Sadly, no video feed here.
Additionally i discovered that the tab 4 has no pressure sensitivity or any other pen features which made everything even less worthwhile.

All in all a terrible waste of time and effort. Do you guys use something else than a mouse for sculpting?

Anonymous at Sat, 15 Jan 2022 22:15:36 UTC No. 876067

>>875879
Having mostly quads allows you to select edge and face loops which makes modelling much easier, so the base shape should always be quads only

Aside from that, it mostly depends on your workflow.
In box/boolean/hardsurface modelling tris don't matter much unless they
>mess up shading
>break booleans
>don't deform properly when animated
>cut off bevels
which can be mostly resolved by just moving or connecting them somewhere else

In SubDiv modelling it's not only important to have quads, but also a good edge flow and sensible placement of pole vertices - which is not as hard as it sounds.
The issue with tris here is that they can't get smoothed by the algorithm, causing a visible bump nor be used to direct edge flow.
On flat surfaces however that doesn't matter as much. I could remove the triangles in the picture, but i'd rather keep the support edges at an even width.

So do you even want quads only?
If yes, go for subDiv but start with a lower-res Cylinder. I usually go for 8 on small details, 16 for bigger ones or something inbetween if i have to match the surrounding vertices.
If not, you dont even need to bother connecting vertices. As long as you have a decent base shape just slap the details on there using a boolean modifier for the shape, a generic angle-based bevel to make the edges pretty and the weighted normal modifier to fix the shading.

Thanks for reading my Blog

Still, you can jsut throw math nodes at it

A map range node along with a colorRamp/curves is usually enough, it allows you to say from where to where the gradient will run and how its values are going to be interpolated.

someone to weight paint it for you?

or courses on those topics?
also it's "losing" not "loosing"

Is there a NON DESTRUCTIVE way to symmetrize an object?

The thing is, I have an object that I want to be 100% symmetric but I can't just cut it in half, symmetrize it and weld it back together because the exported result will have its vertex order mangled and that means I can't import it anymore as morph in the other program.

I also already tried "snap to symmetry" but for some reason this also changes/effects the "good" side AND doesn't even mirror correctly (vertices all over the place in tight spots, wtf is the point of that function then).

Didn't work either because the mesh glitches out in too many parts. I guess it's simply not possible to symmetrize without keeping the original vertex order intact. I hate how I keep bumping into problems that no one else seems to have.

make a mirrored UV for your og mesh (one half of the mesh on the texture the other moved one texture to the side
copy og mesh delete half mirror mod apply move the one half of the uvs to the same play as og map

both UVs should look exactly the same.

take og mesh activate mesh data transform select mirrored mesh as object, active UV mode

Question regarding exporting .FBX for Unity:

Is there a way for an .FBX file to maintain the parenting hierarchy for Unity?

Background: Joined group of friends in making a game in Unity. When the .fbx files are imported, the assets are keeping the rigging information, but not parented in the asset list. There's no icons to differentiate the armature, bones, and mesh pieces.

I've been renaming pieces like:
>mesh_Enemy01
>arma_Enemy01
>bone_Enemy01head
>bone_Enemy01torso

Am I doing something wrong with the fbx output that's not maintaining the parenting? Also, any other tips that I could do to make the programmers' lives easier in Unity?

M.2's get much faster read/write speeds than SATA, and funnily enough it does affect my usage of blender, at least when pressing Ctrl + S. especially when a scene is 2 GB.
I have a Samhyde 980 PRO, I decided to get the PRO over the EVOs because they are rated to last longer (more writes). I think that is related to them using a different/better type of NAND. Also they perform better, not that it matters much to me compared to an EVO, I really just bought it for more endurance.

I need to redo the wing, I think. This is a (almost) all quad wing, and results in the flaps and alierons being perfectly flush with the wing (which I want) but it's pretty ugly.

Head slightly too narrow
Huge mismatch of skin tones. She's too pale, and the skin tone should be hue shifted a little more towards red
Missing shirt. I assume this is intentional, but the line work on the bottom of the breasts is very rough looking. Use Blender's "stabilize stroke" feature to help with this. If no-shirt is intentional, you should probably add some sort of indication of a belly-button
Booba too large compared to the original
Black mark in the armpit of the coat is not present in the original, looks like a UV issue
Where the smile starts on the right side of her face is curving downward in your render, where as in the reference, it appears to level, if not slightly curved upward.
The smile in the reference also makes use of an a technique called "implied lines" which is not present on your render, and makes the seam between her lips look unnaturally hard.
You have a great deal of line work in the hair which is not present on the original drawing, and also seems somewhat stylistically inconsistent with the rest of the image
If you want the softer, more realistic shading on your render, I think that's fine, and actually looks good, but if you want it to match the reference, you need to use a different approach. Look at the "Shader to RGB" node for eevee. You can run that through a color ramp, push the points closer together, and use the resulting black and white data as a factor for a "Mix RGB" node. Again, though, if you prefer the softer shading, keep it that way. I would still do something to make the shadows darker, though, as the shading looks a bit flat without having any pockets of darkness.
Her left arm should be a little more behind her torso. This will match the pose better, but will also fix the fact that the outline of the arm almost implies an invisible shirt.

ctrl numpadzero to get into the the objects point of view. numpad 5 to get out of the objects view but keep your rotation. Click the object so that your cursor has the objects rotation. Then shift-s and move the cursor to the object location.

Probably one of these. To get it to show up, you have to click the actual 3d cursor "tool" on the left toolbar.
Combine it with transformation orientations (not pivot point) set to "3d cursor" and you'll be able to move on the 3d cursors axes.

I'm only loosely getting into blender for model ripping purposes (2.7 because potato PC), but I'm coming across a consistant issue in that whenever I unwrap it's not aligning with the intended texture. Also, if it's relevant, this a cheap chinkshit model, so this might be the source of my woes.
The most frustrating part is that I got it right at some point when I was just fucking around trying to figure out what to do, and now I can't replicate myself; I'm pretty sure it had something to do with unwrapping without going into edit mode, as the model I had it right for never went into a T-pose.

Anybody got any ideas?

uv unwrapping a beyond 100tris model and matching the uv islands to the texture takes forever and should be avoided.

>I got it right at some point
The model probably already has a UV map and by unwrapping again you replaced it with a new one.

Make sure you rip the model with it's UV map.
If the uv map section of the object is empty in blender you ripped without uv.

Why is that and does it even matter? I want to be sure when I send it to client that they won't have scale problems. It looks normal in Maya scene though, but idk how will it import in engines.

Pepe anon here. I've paused my hard modelling for a while before I get traumatized, and I've tried Ducky3D's last tutorial.

I guess this counts as my fourth/fifth day, I've been offline for a while.

Do I do the donut tutorial or the default cube tutorial from Blender.org? Default cube is for 2.8 if that makes much of a difference.

change angle of light, move the sides out, put something in there, every edge of that back wall should be catching a little bit of light
you're close, if you can turn this into something good, you would have learned something very valuable. keep trying

Still working this one out. My current solution is to make a copy of the armature and use it as a reference as I manually edit the original. Would be so much faster if I could just apply the pose though.

anyone know what types of textures these are? trying to extract a model from a game, none of them even look like a base color texture. stuff like _RMOE i've never seen before, but i'm a noob

>I don't know how to build things
Break things down into simple shapes. A sloped wall is just a prism with a raised edge. Learn proper topology. JL Mussi is a good resource.

>I can't texture
Start with downloading materials from places like textures.com and 3dtextures.me. Eventually move on to learning about different types of texture maps and how to use programs like Mari and Substance Painter. FlippedNormals and Artruism Digital are channels worth checking out.

>How to get into lighting?
Look up photography lighting cheat sheets. Understand that mood is more important than a light source making sense (Just because there's only a light on the ceiling doesn't mean that you're not allowed to put a light elsewhere to make your render more legible). Learn about PBR materials and read the documentation for all of the settings on the Principled BSDF node.
>How to design?
Artstation learning is currently free, check out the art tutorials there to learn basic art a& design concepts.

Thanks a lot for the input. Fixed some of the issues like the paleness and bad shadows etc already.
Will probably learn to use Blender properly before going back to this. Do you believe using/learning Malt will give better results to achieve to original look?

I would guess RMOE is Roughness, Metallic, ambient Occlusion, and Emission packed into one texture on the RGBA channels. Could be wrong though.

Can anyone help me go from left side to right side of picture related?
I need to edit the custom split normals of faces so that they all point to the same direction, ideally an averaged normal. I tried to select the vertices in edit mode and do mesh > normals > average > custom normals, but that just sets them all to the face normal which is not what I want. The only way I found to edit the split normals is to manually rotate them, but I need to do this to hundreds of faces so I can't do it by hand

Thanks for the link.
I don't think I can achieve what I need with teh normal edit modifier. In my case the custom normals were previously set using the data transfer modifier, stealing the normals of a target object. I want to keep those stolen normals, but in a sort of flat-shaded way in which vertices of the same face have the same normals

There's a plugin called Abnormal that lets you edit normals by hand.

I tried Abnormal but unfortunately it couldn't do what I need. I ended up writing a script, I'm not sure if I can use code tags on this board but I basically just loop over the mesh faces (mesh.polygons), get the split normals for the loops, average them and set them as the new normals.
Thanks for the advice

Guys I'm going crazy. I just started using the asset browser and for some reason when I try to import an asset, it defaults to not showing it in render. Is there a way to turn that off? After placing a dozen things into a scene, it's frustrating to render it and see everything missing.

How do I fix this? Is it a scene setting? Is it the asset's fault?

There is no diffuse texture there. If you convert the png transparency to alpha it looks more like a spec map. Maybe the map was exported wrong and it was supposed to be diffuse + spec in alpha channel.

So I read your post and went back into asset studio gui, thinking it didn't export all the textures. But in the preview window I saw it had a bunch of hotkeys to "select" the RGBA channels. So ctrl a produced this. Honestly I don't really know what that did to the alpha channel, I don't really understand this shit to begin with. But it definitely looks right now.

Usually perpendicular, at least on Maya.
It doesn't change anything on skinning and you will save yourself from trouble in the future if you're doing advanced rigs.
It's a pain to rig angled bones you're doing IK stretching with locators and nodes on Maya.
(also it's better for the IK solver to have 1 clean straight axis for bending)
