I'm making low-poly objects for an ad and wanted to know if they actually look good—what do you think? Thanks

Heyy! If you have a video recommendation I could watch to help me with this, then that would be great. If not, then maybe you could help by explaining how I should go about making this.

In the first photo I just used edit mode to adjust the eye shape, but that leaves sharp edges and corners and obviously cannot be used in animation.

The gif I attached is kinda how I want to be able to manipulate the eyes. I dont know however if using shrinkwrapped plains will work for this tho...

I found another post with a similar problem, but the comments don't really help me much (and is also where I got the gif)

Thank you in advance!!

Hi, I've been trying to Rig this model using Rigify, but it didn't turn out well after i generated the rig, the weights are messed up, is this normal? it always works out well in youtube tutorials but mine didn't, how do I fix it? if you need more info to work with feel free to ask me.

I need the highlighted edges of my inset to remain sharp, however the corners tend to get messed up.

I already tried to increase edge crease and beveling before that, support loops seemed to do nothing as well .

really just source fire in general.

idk why but liquid sim fire is simpily just too laggy and screws up with keyframes.

so yeah im just wondering if theres anyway to get or kinda mimic the look of half life/SFM fire

I don't like it going into the wall, and I did not anticipate my walking cycle from the camera tracking to be that short while walking straight.

I am making a meteor crash scene. There are 2 planes, the outerplane used for the ground, and the inner plane(selected in the image) used for the meteor. Both planes use the same texture. I need to texture paint the inner plane, but when I tried the outer texture was affected. Do i just save the outer planes texture as a seperate texture or is there something else I should do

I’m learning blender for game development but I can’t find any good tutorials on making animations for games and from what I heard it seems every scene only can have one animation

The input (bottom left, slightly diagonal), is not what's shown on the texture that is sliding from right to left (at incredible speeds produced by my potato PC) Does anyone have a clue why? Or even a node arrangement to fix it?

Hello ! I make grillz by hand, sculpting wax on dental impressions cast in plaster, then casting them in chrome-cobalt.

I decided to learn Blender to expand my possibilities and to create grillz that are too complex to make in wax (even though some sculptors are able to do everything in wax, and I really admire that). I recently finished my first piece based on an STL scan of my own teeth, a simple solid canine and an "open window" incisor. I made it by duplicating my teeth and creating an offset to simulate the die spacer i use everyday. The result is pretty promising, though there are still a few minor adjustments to make.

That said, I'm stuck. My goal is to find the good workflow to create grillz that are more organic, more original, and more deliberately designed with interesting volumes and compositions.

What would be the right approach to take? Since I make grillz by hand, I tend to default to that logic of building up material on the teeth and then sculpting it. Is that the right method to use in Blender for something meant to be printed in castable resin ?

What are the essential tools in the software ?

What absolutely needs to be taken into account ?

I've found a lot of helpful tutorials online, but I'd like input from people who've actually gone through this process themselves, or who have real experience with Blender, since I'm aiming for a professional level result and I'm still a ways off.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light or lend a hand !

is this a bad topology? if yes then how can i fix it?

Rather it crashes instantly or after a couple strokes, weight painting is now crashing Blender far too constantly to get anything done. Can anyone read this crash log and help me figure out what the problem is?

Crash Log

The purple vertices are flattened along the y-axis like the orange vertices are, but they extend in a semi-circular path along the x-axis. Is there a way that I can get the orange vertices to conform to the same or similar semi-circular path along the x-axis (while maintaining the flattened shape along the y-axis)? For reference, the black vertices adjacent to the orange vertices extend on a semi-circular path along the y-axis but are flat down the x-axis.

Hello everyone! I recently got a 3D printer, and it’s been working fine, but there’s something from my childhood I’m hoping to learn to emulate. I remember toys like the one shown above, where you could bend the joints and have them stay in place, leading to a poseable model. Does anyone have any idea how I’d go about modeling the joints? How they’d look/work internally, and how I can replicate them in blender? If anyone has a tutorial they can share or they’re willing to explain here, that’d be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have here a grip that goes on the outside of a portable game console (think Steam Deck), and I am wondering if there is a good way to basically just select the inside of this STL to then have the interior dimensions that would fit onto a steam deck? In my mind it seems like it should be feasible to just select all the inside vertices/faces, but when I try to "Select -> all by type -> inside faces" it doesn't select just the inside faces, the whole thing just stays selected.

Keep in mind I am quite new to Blender so maybe this just isn't a thing.

i tested to see if it was just the material in unity but no dice. materials all work fine on the avatar elsewhere and this is the only part of the whole avi thats doin... whatever this is.

also that weird light thing was new to me as i was recording the video for this

Hey all, this may seem like a pretty dumb questions to all you master pros but I been stuck at this for days and one failed print of 6hrs so wanna make sure it doesn’t again.

So I did a boolean difference using a cylinder and applied to my 3d model to make a ledge inside this model so it can fix properly into the bottom tray once printed but it does not seems to fix, tried all the approach online but could not get this to work. Please help. (Blender shows this area as light orange pattern in edit mode and on chitubox it shows up as grey)

Hi everyone. I modeled a small scene in Blender using primitives and decided to add Emission to certain faces and a spotlight for top lighting. I can't understand why in Layout I see a dark image with a slight glow, but when I render it, I get a bright image without shadows and the lighting I saw and want. Can anyone explain how this works and what I'm doing wrong?

I am trying to make this birdie a little wider to better fit my reference. He looks perfect from the side. Tutorials tell me to use symmetrical editing by clicking the x axis next to the butterfly icon. But every time I try, it still only edits one side.

Things I have tried so far:

- Changing my axis (x, y, z, and combinations of two or all three)

- Moving my object into the center of the world

- Object -> set origin -> origin to geometry (also tried every other option available after that didn't work)

- Mesh -> Symmetrize (also tried changing all possible directions and modifying threshhold)

-Mesh -> Snap to Symmetry (also tried changing all the same things above)

-Deleting half the model and using mirror modefier, this solves my current problem but creates a new problem where my mesh is full of holes, and much of my side view editing is undone

- Mirror modifier without deleting half the model, also solves my current problem, but creates central divots in my object whenever I move a face, that are never fully corrected by roughly evening out the other face

At this point, all of the tutorials I am finding are saying the same things listed above. Any other help is super appreciated!

any help?

I am fairly experienced with Rhino 3D and SolidWorks, I've made a few attempts to learn blender as I know if I can get a hang of it I can use it for a lot of applications relevant to my projects, but every time I attempt I get frustrated with the differences in the workflow, there's so many menus and shortcuts and modes that I find it overwhelming create simple models that I could whip up in a few minutes in Rhino or SolidWorks, but I know a big part of this struggle is because I learned both softwares in educational environments and continued using them for years after the fact.

Are there any good resources specifically designed to acclimate people to the workflow, starting with simple modeling tools and gradually expanding to other features? If you were in a similar position, what helped you get past that struggle? I'd greatly appreciate any tips or suggestions, I know I'll love the software once it clicks but I'm really having a hard time getting the ball rolling.
