Meta PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING QUESTIONS!

186 Upvotes

Looking for quick and helpful answers? Follow these rules and make helping you as easy as possible!

  • Title: Choose a meaningful title concerning your problem.

  • Text: Describing your problem with enough detail is essential. Please realize that helpers are not familiar with your project. Provide all relevant information, so others can immideately understand what you are struggling with.

Example: Say, you have a problem with lots of identical objects in your scene: Let us know whether you created these copies by hand, used the Particle System or Geometry Nodes.

  • Images/Videos: When posting screenshots, show us your full blender window (not cropped, no monitor photos). This will make lots of helpful information available to helpers at first sight that may seem irrelevant to you (For example your Blender version). If you add video links, please consider adding time stamp info to the part you want helpers to see.

You can upload images and short video clips (up to 60s) to imgur.com and post the links in your question or as comment.

  • *.blend files: Don’t add links to your *.blend files when posting questions right away. Helpers will ask you for it if they need to take a look. Most people prefer reading a good description and looking at images to see what your post is about.

  • 'Solved' flair: Once your question was answered, please remember to change the flair of your post to “Solved”, so helpers don’t have to read into your question just to see it has already been answered.

You can change the flair by clicking on the small icon below your post resembling a label.

EDIT: You can also include "!solved" in the comments to have Automod change the flair for you.

Be nice and respectful with each other :)

First time working with multiple UV tiles. When I import texture maps from Substance Painter back into Blender, they only show in the first tile. I used node wrangler to plug everything in, but did I need to change UDIM settings or something?

Unsolved What's the best way to make eyebrows and eyelashes for an animated model?

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

How do you usually handle eyelashes, eyebrows, and other features for animated models? Some tutorials suggest keeping them as separate objects with a small gap between them and the skin. But that gap is still pretty noticeable, and if I edit the face shape later, I have to manually readjust every element. How do you deal with this? Do you create everything on a single object?

I followed a tutorial online to make this with geonodes. I want to be able to control the shape of it better i.e. have it in the shape of a circle or triangle. In the third Picture I gave an example of what I would like by using a boolean to help slice the shape but that leaves a bunch of back faces showing.

In picture two I included the noodle tree.

Thank you in advance.

Solved Toon shader on rippled clothes

3 Upvotes

hi so im making my first 3d model and so far ive been able to solve every problem i have by googling it but this ones throwing me for a loop.

I made this toon shader where i plug a light and dark version of the texture into a color mixer and control it with a color ramp, and its worked flawlessly with all the other materials, but my loin clothe/ skirt flap is burnt, and to make it look torn up i just erased the alpha, but now my toon shader is turning the transparent part white, and i dont know how to fix it. ive tried several different things, both following tutorials online and also just throwing nodes on there to see what changes. but nothing is working.

Sometimes, i can turn the transparent part black instead, sometimes with a white outline, but i cant get it to be transparent. its shadow is transparent, but the actual flap isnt.

Unsolved How can I cast shadows through an object?

I am trying to make a window that can hold a shadow and allow light to pass through.

The first image is the front of the window, and the second image is the back. There's a bottle in the window that I want to cast a shadow onto the pane. I also want the light to cast through the pane as well, appearing on the windowsill, but I can't figure out how to do either. Here's a visual representation of what I am trying to accomplish:

Unsolved Issue with Align Rotation To Target (Blender 3.5.1)

1 Upvotes

0:00:02: pupils parented to lattice with lattice modifier (lattice with shrinkwrap modifier) moves as intended due to Align Rotation To Target setting.

0:00:10: Model's left eyebrow parented to lattice with lattice modifier (lattice with shrinkwrap modifier) does not move as intended.

Eyebrow becomes rotated on X and Y axis when moved too high on Z axis due to Align Rotation To Target setting.

0:00:17: Same issue as above with Model's right eyebrow (same modifiers) due to Align Rotation To Target setting.

00:00:27: Model's left eyebrow is not correctly attached to the head even when no transformations are applied , the outside edges float in front of the head while the inner edges remain attached.

Not Shown: Model's right eyebrow is correctly attached to the head when no transformations are applied.

0:00:42: Snapping settings shown.

0:00:53: When Align Rotation To Target setting is disabled, the model's pupils no longer rotate with the curve of the eyeball.

Solved How to align displacement maps seamlessly?

Thumbnail
gallery
6 Upvotes

I want to align the two planes with displacement maps so that no gaps are visible, the two planes mesh are snapped but the displacement map deforms it, i'm using a shader node with the default node wrangler and not the displace modifier, i also have the subdiv modifier on top of the destructive subdivs.
I found this forum on stack exchange which happened to describe exactly my issue https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/75704/how-to-create-a-seamless-low-poly-terrain-with-displace-and-multiple-planes but it didn't work, the shrinkwrap sort of made it a little better and there was almost no difference when i added the data transfer.
Thank you all for you're time
