Haha, thank you 😊 And welcome to the channel!

That’s not the wireframe by any chance is it? Could you describe what the black lines look like?

@@JamieDunbar imagine a zebras stripes but rotated a bit (its like it puts the stripes on the main color then takes a picture of said color and repeats it where ever i try to paint

@zi3rra My best bet is you've managed to attach a texture to your actual brush. Take a look at this image: docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/sculpt_paint/brush/texture.html On the right hand side you'll see a heading called "Texture" with an image under it? Directly under that there's a few controls, one of which is an "x". Click that to remove the texture from your brush. If that doesn't work, or you can't find that setting, shoot me a message on the Facebook page. That way I can share some screenshot to guide you: facebook.com/DragonbootsStudios

@@JamieDunbar that fixed it thank you so much

@@zi3rra Oh wow, that was right? Haha, man I'm good 😂

Too late for me! 😝😵‍💫🤡

AutoRig Pro comes with some built in tools to automatically export its rigs to both Unreal and Unity. I don’t work in games much, but the couple of time I have it’s been a huge timesaver 😌

Ooff, now that’s an interesting error. Firstly, are you sure you didn’t accidentally choose “unwrap” rather than “smart UV”? “Unwrap” is a slightly different method that does require you to add edge seams for it to work. “Smart UVs” is meant to automatically create those seams for us, so I’m surprised you’re seeing that error by picking this option. If that doesn’t work there may be some issue with your model. Is it a very high poly model? Or is it made up of multiple objects?

This is for the bevel node right? By default I believe it gives you some XYZ coordinates, which are represented as RBG colours, hence you get random colours. If that doesn’t make sense, don’t worry. The short version is, did you add the colorRamp node at the end to turn those colours into black/white values?

@@JamieDunbar hmmm, maby i didnt. Ill have to retry this afternoon

Good question! There’s a few ways you can handle this. 1. This will still work with multiple meshes in one object. 2. You could seperate the meshes into two objects and paint them separately. 3. You could leave them joined, but do the process twice. So you’ll have two materials on the one object.

And I love you random citizen 😁

Omg that’d be awesome. I mean, I think I’ll try and start with one 8minute episode…but we can build from there 😆

Hi Max. This is a beginner tutorial and was never designed to include things like importing and exporting. That said, I was interested by your claim of still needing UVs. I didn't think that's how vertex colours worked. I tested it this morning and I was able to export a simple sphere with vertex colours and no UVs as an alembic file. When imported back into Blender, it still had it's vertex colours 🤷

Haha, fantastic 😄

To be fair, you might be 😬 Are you using Blender 4.0 or above?

same lol. can!t figure out the uv map part- im using blender 4.2.1

@@fishkid1177 Just did a quick test in 4.2 and all the steps and buttons still work. Is there any chance your model already has some UVs? If so, just keep watching. We go over how to create UVs from the viewport.

@@JamieDunbar ah, i figured it out! for some reason my screen didn't have the button, but i just missed when you said the key. i pressed "u" and was able to figure it out from there lol! i also had a friend who helped me in real time! i'm halfway done with texturing my model now :D this tutorial was extremely helpful, tysm!

@@fishkid1177 That's great mate. Glad you got there 😁

Lmao, fantastic 😅 I’ve been doing animation for nearly 20 years and it’s often really hard to remember those initial struggles. I’m glad I haven’t completely forgotten them.

Hey mate. You won’t be alone. Frankly it’s a little harder than it had any right to be. If you’re still struggling, feel free to reach out to me on the Facebook page. We need to at least get you to the painting stage 😉 m.facebook.com/DragonbootsStudios/

Thanks man. It sounds like you appreciate the vibe I was aiming for :) I really wanted to expand the Pokemon universe in a more 'adult' direction. Not in the sense of violence, but the real life implications like family and financial realities.

Lmao. Maybe Oddish can get their 'sweet dreams' moment in a second episode :P

Thank you! That's one of my favourite shots. Since day one, I wanted that and the fist bump shot in there.

Thanks for watching! :D

Yeah my timing on making this video was bad. 4.0 had just released and the hotkeys addon hadn’t been updated yet 😔 It’s working again now, so it’ll be back in further videos.

@@JamieDunbar It's going to be great man👌

Yes, absolutely 👍

Awesome, thank you!

“And I love you, random citizen” 😜

Thank you! I’m also in my 30’s (further towards the back end than I’d prefer to admit 😅). It sounds like you’re exactly the kind of person I made this short for - the long term, lifelong fan who’s been around since the beginning. I’m hoping these animations can be a more mature look into the Pokémon universe, with more complex characters that have a few more shades of grey to them.

Sorry I’m on holidays at the moment and can’t really look at the video properly. Isn’t the only part where the viewport changes when we jump over to “texture paint” workspace?

Yes! Once you have a texture map saved you can import that into your game engine.

I don’t know if I should take offence or not. I have no idea what that means 😜
