I'm probably one of the 5 people who've actually used library overrides, but I just want to say how powerful yet so poorly designed it is.
>You can have a base model (most often a collection) link to different files, and make small variations of that model on a per-project basis while still linking back to the original.
Awesome, I can't wait to-
>You can't rename the original collection, or any of the contained objects that you've overridden in other files, otherwise the links get completely fucked, with no way to repair them other than reverting the name change.
Oh. I guess just git gud at naming things and committing to them? What a great idea to have the user-editable name be the one link that holds everything together. What's a UID? Never heard of it.

Blender gents, I have this mesh here. It's an upper jaw(teeth). As you can see I've created UV maps for it.
I also have a high poly version with matching seams. Is there a way to transfer the UV layout of the low poly to the high poly mesh so that they match?
I'm actually trying to bake AO maps. When I try and bake from the high poly to the low poly I get a lot of clipping artifacts though. This is why I am thinking If I can just get matching UV layouts for both I can just bake an AO map of high poly alone, an then use it on the low poly.

>>	Anonymous Tue Sep 12 22:24:44 2023 No.957919 >>957891 What I'd recomend is that you use a mutires modifier, you can subdivide your lowpoly a few times and then use a shrinkwrap modifier to conform it to the HP, there's even a built in way to bake AO, Normals, etc, from a multires modifier

I've got this posed figure I would like to sculpt over.
Entering edit or sculpt mode, the mesh returns to the default pose.

What I currently want to do it:
Sculpt over the body both in-pose and in the default pose, toggling between them as I want.
I also want to keep the rig, so I can do minor adjustments to the pose/expression as I work.

Is what I'm talking about even possible? Any suggestions?

Trust me I TRIED ZBrush. It's just so utterly alien I genuinely don't enjoy using it even after I kind of figured out how to sculpt and get around in it...

Besides that, some of my favorite pro artists are Blender-only. They can do insanely good stuff in it, and as a hobbyist I kinda do want to be like them.
Also, I tried using GoZ/GoB bridge. It was cool for a moment, but I spent most of my session just troubleshooting...
Latest would import from ZB, but couldn’t export from Blender. I ver. down seemed to work fine, but wouldn't display the full mesh in ZB no matter what I did... Despite that reimporting to Blender would show the full model (stripped of texture though).

All in all, while ZBrush is definitely more powerful and there's a lot more high-levdl courses on it I simply don't enjoy using it one bit. I enjoy using Blender, so that's what I want to figure out how to work with.

Some brushes are disabled on multires and others lag, the clay, the pose, cloth are things that you shouldn't use on these lvs and the trim is really broken too if you want to do something like that it is better to use the carver addon (free inside blender) or the boxcutter (free in cgpeers), you can use the mask slice, that works in 2-4m meshes.

Blender is fucking me about. I can't figure out why it's doing this:
Every time I save, these messed up looking meshes show up again on my sculpt.

I have a feeling it has to do with frames. I didn't setup anything, but my frame 1 looks different to my frame 2.
I genuinely lost 1HR+ of sculpting because I accidentally presses Space and it shifted everything.

I went into the "Dope Sheet" and deleted all the keyframes (why where they there in the first place?) but it hasn't helped.

something is killing my viewport fps and i can't figure out what. when i start playback at frame 0 i get smooth 24fps for about two seconds and then it starts falling to 20 15 10.. and when i get to frame 100 i am at like 6 fps, and even if i start the playback at those frames, like at frame 100 i get 6fps, the fuck is going on? i even tried hiding everything in the scene so it's literally an empty scene with everything in it hidden and it still does this

normally i only render pictures but tried rendering an animation today and noticed an issue.
the noise in the pictures causes jitter in the final video and increasing the samples isn't an option since it blows up render times
it's super sad that blender has no support for temportal denoising so what do i do? all products i found that do it are paid kike shit

Interesting, maybe I'll mess with that. For now I've just gone with taking a plane, chopping off an edge and replacing it with a bevel curve converted to mesh. It would be nice if I could just keep the plane normal and then use something like #frame/24 on the wave moving along the x or y for the edge, but oh well.

How would I make an ocean modifier both loop and not be a square? It seems like the not square solution is to set it to displacement, but that's also part of the step of having it loop with one generated and one displaced.

As of right now I have a perfect loop, but I have ridged edges when I want them to be more wavy but I can't figure out how to stop having it be a plane.

i have multilayer exr file sequence and i want to use bledner compositor to render it out to a png sequence for an animation but the problem is the denoising is saved in view layer while the motion blur is saved in the composite layer in the exr file.. so how the shit am i supposed to make it so i can combine them into the png with both denoise and motion blur at the same time?
Since the motion blur is applied to the noisy image for some reason

I think you're looking for a driver expression? In the box for the X rotation value, type in #frame, that will make it increment every frame for as long as your animation goes for. But that's usually too fast so you probably want to divide it by something to slow it down.

Can anyone explain why editing the normals at the end of a cylinder makes blender mark all the lengthwise edges as creases? I literally just want to make a tileset for low poly tubes but the generated smooth normals don't always align between pieces so the shading gets fucked up.

I tried it, it marks the edges as sharp. You can select all and clear sharp, then continue editing normals as usual.
The obvious semi-explanation for marking the edges sharp would be to generate unique vertices for each face, maybe to avoid interpolation artifacts from vertices pointing in opposite directions. But that's not really sufficient as an explanation

Honestly I might just completely drop Blender for modeling/sculpting in the next project.
It's just got so many issues and ZBrush just has a ridiculous amount of amazingly fast options for sculpting.

it's a float precision error thing, all software that works with 3d, even games have this issue, in unity if you try to move too far from 0,0,0 you will get the same problem, in other engines too.
it's just super gay in blender i already see it so strongly after few kilometers of camera movement
and turns out it also affects cycles ray tracing where if the object is too far from origin it will look wrong on renders

>why
Because blender is a multipurpose 3d app and they need the developers doing other shits nobody asked for like geometry nodes or whatever.
Yes we could have all the paint mode done and we could have the new multires with paint support and all that a year ago, Dobarro wanted a new viewport for sculpt mode, based on what zbrush does? a plasticity alike mode for blender and a bunch of other shits we will never have, it has been 2 years since he left and they haven't integrated all the shit he had in review.

So I'm rendering a simple raindrop animation effect for something.

The particle system randomly for a few frames seems to end up popping up as a solid square (the shape of the plane). What causes this and is there a fix for it? It doesn't start that way and I have no idea why randomly every so many frames it does that.

As it turns out, my original icing was clipping through the donut somewhat *before* I had applied any modifiers, which was causing it to clip when it was stretched. I deleted my icing and re-made it and it works now. If no solutions are working for you, check and make sure that your icing isn't already clipping! Delete and re-make it if you have to.

about 50 seconds per frame, the whole animation is around 4000 frames long, so thankfully i at least notices half way through it, would hurt even more if i rendered the whole thing

Ay dudes, this the Blender General? Title says fuck all.

Anyway, I'm using a bunch of particle systems in my scene to generate far away car traffic. In my head I figured I'd whip up a particle system for a lane, then duplicate them around the scene as needed.
The thing is, I'm lazy and I don't want to set a random seed for each particle system (since there's going to probably be a fuckton). Is there some way I can use a driver to generate a random number in the particle system's seed every time I duplicate it? I searched around and figured "noise.noise((x,y,z))" would work, but on giving it a go, it seems to need an object manually specified in the driver to reference, and I can't just have it use the self xyz. So using that would be more work than just clicking and dragging the seed value a bit.
So yeah, any help? I'm not looking to change the seed every frame, just one and done so I can spam the system around the scene and have the traffic be shit out of the system in a different fashion.

Any advice on posing a model with this sort of bones?

I'm used to FK posing, but these bones don't seem to be linked at all.
Like, rotating the shoulder doesn't move the whole arm, it just rotates the tiny segment of the shoulder...

Maybe you're new and missed something obvious, like all the control bones being in a separate layer in the armature's bone layers. Or you're trying to pose the armature in edit mode rather than pose mode, the hand and finger bones don't line up with the mesh in >>961279.
Otherwise ask your artist about it.

Is there some type of "down and dirty" tutorial on Geo Nodes so I can get my head out of my ass and learn them? Something that doesn't assume I've never touched the program, and from someone that actually knows what the fuck they're doing and not just rehashing shit they read in the manual for YT views.

I've been using Blender for like 10+ years now, and can do anything I can think of with it, but GN are the new hotness that I just can't wrap my head around.
I really just don't know where to start. I can scatter objects with it (since when it was first implemented that's all you could do with it), but that's about the extent of it.
I feel like the Geo nodes are something I NEED to learn since the way things are going with Blender, fucking everything is going to revolve around GN in the future.

I know it's kinda retarded to say, but I feel like I "forgot" how to learn shit like this. I had to learn it all back in the day, but I don't really know how I did it. When I remember it, it's like "at one point I had no clue what I was doing, then at another I didn't have any problems" there's no "in-between" period.
I guess the real problem is I don't feel like I have any real use for them in any projects. Apart from scattering, there hasn't been any instance of "Oh! Geo Nodes would be perfect for this". Though maybe that's because I really don't know what I don't know, and I'm probably passing up dozens of opportunities to use it.

Thanks for reading my rant/blogpost/question.

I assumed you already had a way to select them all... Even in your screenshot, you used the search to get all the objects with the subsurf modifier, couldn't you select them all like that? There's also this picrel setting that lets you limit the max subdivisions over all objects in your scene.

You can't have light ignore the object AND cast shadows from that same object, though you can probably hack together a few invisible objects that cast shadows around it. Use transparent shader, turn blend mode to alpha clip but leave shadows opaque

Well fair enough, I just would've liked to know what you did wrong because what you're doing should work fine. But doing the instanced collection thing just so you can animate its visibility is dumb anyway (and yes you should be able to animate the collection visibility, it's baffling that you can't). I'd suggest scaling the parent to 0 instead of moving it far away since you retain the position, but if moving it works for you, then it works.

Metal AMD GPU rendering has a significant performance regression in scenes that use the Principled Hair BSDF, in addition to existing lack of support for the light tree and shadow caustics. Due to GPU driver limitations that are unlikely to be fixed, it is expected that AMD GPU rendering on macOS will be disabled entirely in a future release.

So are Geometry nodes faster for particle shit than actual particles, or are they about the same?
Like a simulation-node based GN system that just randomly makes points vs a particle system that does the same thing, which would be faster in terms of viewport playback and rendering?
Like I'm making a bunch of animated rain for a scene. Would particles or GN be better for the task? I can do the same thing in both, but one of them has to be more performant in putting a literal fuckton of raindrops into a scene.

Yep collections have completely different user interaction paradigms than objects. Just a lot of context/toolbar menu inconsistencies. But if you're going to be working with multiple scenes, you'd better get used to the Scenes mode of the outliner anyway.

Add the sim as a VDB volume object, but only import the frame you want to use. If you baked the sim as OpenVDB, the VDB files should be where you baked the cache in the "data" folder. If you baked it with noise though, use the one in the "noise" folder (just make sure to change the "density" attribute in your volume shader to "density_noise").

I think the length of the bone affects its envelope when you do automatic weights, but other than that I don't think so.

No I don't think you can do it directly on the same property. You have to do workarounds like you said. But I'm wondering if you really need drivers or could your needs be solved by parenting/constraints. Obviously I don't know the full scope of what you want, so do whatever works for you.
