Hello, I've been working on a 2.5D face for my models and I couldn't find a tutorial for the rigging method used in this video. I already have setup of a face that uses a shrink wrapped planes but I honestly have zero idea on how to rig it to behave similarly to the example in the video.

I am working on a simple Lego figure that I eventually want to rig. However, I am stuck on how to connect these two shapes together.

I also need to connect the torso to the legs later on, but since that is a similar shape/problem, solving this first issue will probably help me fix that too.

How do I merge these parts while keeping the topology clean? Do they absolutely need to be joined into a single mesh for a proper rig, or is there a better way?

(the last picture is my reference)

Note : I'm not a complete beginner, but definitely still learning.

Edit: Solved. I found a working tutorial series that is helpful and enough resources and tips

Is there a TUTORIAL OR ONLINE LESSON THAT CAN HELP ME OUT?

I am an absolute beginner.

I have tried this program multiple times and seemed to fuck it up multiple times.

I tried looking up blender PS2 character model tutorials online and stuff and every time I found one it was either too complex/not the style I wanted or someone telling me to make a reference sheet before working on my models (I can not draw and one look at my post history will make you understand the toxic relationship I have with art)

I do not understand topology and I feel like this is just as hard as any other program I've ever used.

I am incaoable of making anything and feel like I'm a charity case compared to all the people around me or in this sub.

I do not have the money to commission or buy paid courses and I just wanna make and rig and animate character models for my game.

I am probably to stupid to find something or figure this out on my own this out so I need your help.

where the fuck do I even begin? I don't wanna make photorealism, corporate looking 3D models or high poly models I'll never use in a game due to optimization.

Creating a project in which i have two characters rigged using rigify. Both characters have their own rigify rigs created however one rig is controlling the other rig? During the creation of the models I duplicated the torsos to save on modelling time and I believe this to be the cause of the issue but haven't found a way to fix it.

So far I have tried deleting duplicate weight paint groups and also just deleting both rig set ups and starting over but each time this problem persists. I've made quite a few projects now without this problem so I'm at a loss for what might be happening here.

Hey everyone,

I have a quick question about optimizing render times in Cycles. I'm working on a detailed interior room scene. It features glass with realistic reflections and volumetric fog to create those nice light rays coming through the room.

Right now, I'm trying to get my render times down to about 30 seconds to a minute per frame (ideally even less) without taking a massive hit in quality. I want to keep the final output looking sharp and clean.

What are the best settings or tricks to achieve this? I've attached screenshots of my current render and render settings below for reference. Thanks in advance!

in the video you can see i make a key frame go forward in the timeline, make a change add a key frame. but it effects it throughout the whole animation?

So, the problem is that im trying to redirect this one edge loop so that it is quads only, but by myself i only end up with triangles.

I AM using a subd(1), and its visible when you apply it, so how can i fix this so that it goes clean(QUADS ONLY) from 3 to 2?

For some reason, cycles is handling my transparent hair cards weirdly, creating a black-hole effect. I've tried changing light bounce settings, but that's changed nothing. I'm really just confused. The individual hair cards seem to be rendering normally, but together they break

I want to put a hexagon pattern on my Car for design purposes. The car is only 1 Object (I found it Online) and it has a UV where the parts arent really conected. (See Images) I want the hexagons to contunue over the gaps like they arent there.

Thx allready, :)

Extra: I allready tried to use chat as help but it didnt work. Tried a lot in shading Tab. I had Mapping, Sepperate and Combine XYZ, and texture coordinates in and played around with it. Chat told me to try Generated, And Object which both had the effect of creating weird shapes on the side and lines from front to back on the top. And UV which just put me back to the original in the image. Combine and Seperate XYZ had no real changes for me.

TLDR: I want the bones to align and bend against the floor so I don't have to manually make sure they're in place while animating. Nothing I've tried has worked

So, i rendered this animation, but there's a difference between the viewport and the image that i rendered.
Does anyone know how to fix it?

I'm trying to model this circular window on a door. I'd like to approach it bit more cleanly and do it right instead of just using loopcuts going around the entire object. Is this the correct way to go about it?

I used a model splitter and it split the body of the rover into a couple of pieces but I connected them all. How can I patch these lines up?

What can be the cause of this shading issue while retopo-ing the face?

So I found this render which had a really good looking grass/dirt texture. However i am not sure how they made it look so good at the scale of that render.

From what i can see it doesn't look like hair particle emission but still 3d.

Does anyone know how to achieve this effect.

I am on blender 5.1.1 using some grass assets I got from botaniq. I scattered them and they look normal in viewport, but when I render they become dark.

I'm sorry if this is easily solvable and I'm just incompetent.
I somehow managed to unlink about the lower half of my model and now it ain't mirroring the model anymore. I've spent more time that I'd like to admit on this thing, so I don't want to it again <hyp>please for the love of god</hyp>
if anyone knows a way to re-link them (or as close to that as possible), I'd really appreciate it

feedback is welcome if you'd like to give me some, this is my first humanoid (basically a model where I can sculpt my actual characters out of at some point), so it'll probably not be very good, but I hope some of y'all can help point out specifically what's wrong

thanks :3

i was doing an animation on Caine but his eye textures were gone when i appended him to the grounds (i dont really know how to describe it) is there any way i can fix it

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a horror/VFX ghost character in Blender, and I'm looking for the best workflow to create it.
The ghost is based on a realistic female body, but the entire body is covered with long, thin hair-like fibers instead of normal clothing. The hair also covers most of the face. I want the fibers to move naturally in the wind and react to animation, giving the character a cinematic, eerie look.
I've tried using Hair Curves, Geometry Nodes, and cloth simulation, but I haven't been able to achieve the result I'm looking for.
Could anyone recommend the best workflow for creating this type of character in Blender? Specifically, I'd like advice on:
How to create the long fiber dress/body.
Whether I should use Hair Curves, Geometry Nodes, particle hair, or another method.
How to make the fibers simulate realistically with wind.
How to keep the setup efficient enough for animation and rendering.
If anyone has tutorials, example files, or suggestions, I'd really appreciate your help.
Thank you!

Hello I have tried to upload this model to Sketchfab as .glb .fbx and .blend and everytime i faced this problem even after manually uploading the texture file too. Any idea how to fix this issue?

Hi my name is Serbervz, I'm fairly new to rendering. So I've been cracking at this idea for about 3 hours now, and I fear that the obvious is well.. the obvious but I'm adamant that there is a work around for this, and hoping someone with more experience could help.

I have this object that I extruded and meshed from a 2d svg, and I made Curve 002 into this glass looking thing ( which I've already rendered and it looks great) I was wondering if it was possible to make both halves into different colors while still remaining glass, almost like a stained glass without the texture.

.
I am thinking about just dismantling the whole thing, and having two glass objects that I would just sandwich curve 001 with, but ultimately this would be a interesting learning opportunity I would be missing here if what I said IS possible.

.

-thx in advance Serby :)

why is the fold so non-linear, it curves around to the target location rather than following a linear path. I suspect it's probably an issue with applying transforms.

(also sorry for the OBS jumpscare i cant be asked to edit the video)
