Now that’s neat
Haha yeah a nice little not-so-obvious feature
WTFFFFFFFFF!!!
Lol yeah!
Works on tablet or iPhone?
Give it a try!
WHEN I CLICK ON VIEWPORT SHADING IT DOES NOTHING HELP PLEASE
Which version you are using?
Oh this is an old version in this video, can't remember it's been so long, probably like 2.9.
i can't see in the add the single vert
Just add a plane, tab into edit mode, select all vertices, press M, merge at center.
@@RussellMidfield i can see only one dot
@MikeLanda2008 yes, that is the single vertex.
@@RussellMidfield so how can i do what you did with pressing the e key?
You need to install the built-in blender addon Extra Objects. Then you'll see it in your add Object menu.
Free editing software like Gimp or Krita? No, thanks, I use cracked Substance Painter 💀👍
Haha yeah another way for sure!
it doesn't doing the color, someone can help me?
The UV map is broken it seems on the latest model so it doesn't seem to work at all.
@@RussellMidfield thank you
@@RussellMidfield so how can i put color to check if that's what i want?
does it matter if i use a different version of blender?
can I use solid?
Yeah go for it!
Please, don’t name that retopology. It’s f*** not retopology. It’s remeshing. Retopology is about animation and deformation, you can’t do anything with what you do with those addons. Respect job of CGI artists, don’t tell shit.
Good point!
How to remove the watermark in iclone 8 ؟
Oh I'm not sure sorry!
60$, non commercial license, it's actually 109$ if I recall correctly for the commercial license.
Oh yeah good point
From where can i get this character
Oh this is just a character I made for the purposes of this video
When I use shift to smooth, it actually deforms a lot, it looks like I'm using a deform tool, what do I do?
Turn down the brush strength
@@RussellMidfield TKS BRO!
Yeah no worried man!
Cool tutorial, man. However, when I try to export it as an OBJ file, the transparent image texture doesn't apply to the exported model. Why is this happening? I want to use in Unity
Thanks man! Oh yeah sorry this isn't the way for transparency in a game engine. You'll need a texture map with an alpha channel.
I haven't test this with Photoshop, but if Photoshop is not working I can share a quick addon I made myself to do the same thing but with Photoshop.
Oh that's awesome, yeah for whatever reason if it doesn't work with Photoshop, that would be really helpful, let me know, thanks!
Thanks man. It was easy to understand. Btw, could you show us how to export it as obj or fbx format?
Yeah no worries man! I'm glad if it helped. Oh yes that's a good idea!
Finally i got this tutorial after 3 years😭
Haha lol nice! I'm glad if it helped!
i pulled apart my pen but the wires still seem to be attached? am i confused or do i have a different issue
wanted to draw for the first time in months because of my studies and my dumbass immediately dropped my pen😭
Oh no haha! Yeah you probably have a different issue then if the wires aren't disconnected
@@RussellMidfieldwow thank you for the quick response!!, might have to get a new one (again) after all😭
Hi Russell, Thats a great video. Could you please tell your character name ? Which you use in intro ?.
Thanks John! Oh that is a character from the Reallusion software.
Is there a way to modify and scale those alphas when u are placing them on mesh? Something like "Zbrush Spotlight"
I'm not super familiar with zbrush spotlight feature but you can modify some attributes of the alpha like scale yes.
woah a short that showed me exactly what I wanted, thanks alot.
Nice! I'm glad it helped!
This is way too complicated for my little brain even though I have worked with the Blender in the past. Nothing becomes a good product if you don't put effort they say!
Thank you so much! You just saved me a lot of maney and sanity. I was crying cuz me, as a simple student, wouldnt be able to aford such a important item por me. <33 THX!! xo
Yeah no worries, I'm glad it helped!
Thank you for this series. But one thing you should really mention is the fact that saving the blend file, does not save textures. I lost the whole episodes work because of this and had to redo it.
Oh gosh sorry about that, huge oversight on my part!
1m
Thanks man!
Quad remesher - couldn't get this to install in Blender 4.1 unfortunately. Installed the add-on and nothing happens - no quadremesh tab appears in the panel. Installed with ease in 3DS Max but would prefer to use it in Blender with the workflow I'm using. Any ideas?
Oh that's odd, maybe the add-on hasn't been updated yet for 4.1.
manual retopology is the best
Yeah and it can be sort of fun/interesting too!
Hi! I just wanted to say I really appreciate this tutorial, and was wondering if there were plans to finish it off? Thank you.
Hey crazygaming! I'm glad if it has helped! Haha yeah it's possible, maybe one day if I can find the time and energy 😅
Thank you, you saved me!
followed all steps, when I press generate rig nothing happens... :/
Oh no that sucks, maybe something changed since I made this video.
Btw can I delete the _MACOSX file??
Yeah for sure
why does it say unable to import invalid header???
Hard to say, but most likely you are not importing the .fbx file, but some other file like the zip file itself. Unzip the zip file first.
@@RussellMidfield I did it tho
@@RussellMidfield I’ll retry tomorrow and I’ll inform you on how it goes (it’s gonna be around this time or a lil before)
Im trying to import Belle into blender for the current supercell make, but her UVs are just not lining up at all, any way I can fix this without manually moving each vertex to the correct place?
same happenned to me
Yeah just took a look at the .fbx, seems like the UVs are off
@@RussellMidfield the weird thing is the UVs for the head is just a side view of the model
Yeah it's way off in Blender for the head, arms are the only part that seems to line up. I suppose you'll need to unwrap and line up manually which sucks but shouldn't take too long.
@@RussellMidfield I got no clue how im gonna do that, im relatively new to blender and im hopeless with UVs
Since blender updated a lot, some things have changed and i dont understand many things because they arent in my version
Yeah it's true
I want to join the Belle skin contest but too scared because of my art skills...
Go for it! You can do it!
@@RussellMidfield The thing is... I don't have blender or a laptop... ☹️
@JCISUNLUCKY try on your phone or paper! Good luck!
holy very cool man I don't think i will ever understand this though
Haha thanks man, aww it's not too bad, you'll get there for sure, keep at it!
I would like to make a skin for Belle, but i do t know how all the submission stuff works, its my first time. Can anyone tell me what kind of tools do i use? Could i do it in flipaclip or ibis paint or do i need a more "professional" program?
Yeah you could use any program, you don't need to submit a 3d file anymore, just an image with your design.
I have my tablet back, I just straight up love you
Haha I'm glad it helped!
Amazing I literally wasted hours on this
Nice! Glad it helped!
does this work for video game character?
It does yeah!
The blender team needs to work a little bit on the user experience. 1001 steps just for transparency. 😅
Haha there is probably a much better way at doing this admittedly haha
"deh-cools" lmao
Haha 😄
awesome.... how do I open the Edit Motion Layer?
Thanks! Select the charactet and then click on Modify > Animation > Edit Motion Layer.
I’ll keep this in mind I when get payed next Friday for the quad remesher
Haha yeah good idea!
Great tutorial. Is the face riggable? Is it feasible for this model to speak dialogues?
Thanks! Yeah for sure.
@@RussellMidfield Alright, thank you!
where to find Quadriflow? in preferences?
Oh I did a more detailed video on these that shows where you might find it, can't remember off the top of my head it's been so long since I made this video, sorry!
@@RussellMidfield oh its ok, i will find on the internet thanks :)
My Rigify is LITERALLY messed up, because I deleted some facial bones. Why did you claim it wouldnt in the video? I have to start all over.
Yeah you have to be careful for sure, but it definitely can be done. Good luck!
I have the issue of my weight paint physics not carrying over/showing in Unity. I did precisely THESE things for each bone for each part of my body "Cat Ear L, Cat Ear R, Boob L, Boob R, & Skirt".... 1: Entered Weight Paint Mode/Left click on rig & Shift+Left click on body. 2: Ctrl+Left click on targeted bone. 3: Weight painted desired area/body part for bone (I did this for all bones/body parts.) 4: Turned each bone into a spring bone (For movement.) 5: Tested physics with Interactive mode in pose mode (Looked AMAZING.) 6: Exported & made sure to select "Copy" & click the box icon to the right of it. 7: Imported avatar & applied avatar to scene & applied "Avatar Descriptor" as a component in Unity, pressed play mode,.... but NOOOOO physics :( Was there a step i missed/skipped in Blender or maybe a setting or something that needed to be adjusted? ?
