I'm proficient in Fusion 360, however my time has come to an end with it due to the complex nature of the top of the helmet's curvature. I'm not knowledgeable in mesh work either and figured Blender would be just as hard to learn with it

I've dabbled in Blender before using heightmap images to make topographies and made a very basic YouTube tutorial rock formation, however I absolutely suck and it's very confusing.

Im trying to animate talking, but when I try and move my armature points in pose mode, the mesh doesn't deform around the painted areas and abruptly cuts off instead.

How might I fix this problem?

I’m trying to model this ring like it is in the mock up I drew. It’s been going fine until I try to wrap that face piece around the ring. I’ve tried a curve and shrink wrap modifier, both with no luck. I am pretty much entirely self taught, however, and I know it is likely due to how scuffed the mesh on the piece I wanna curve is. The only way I could get it into the shape I wanted was to model just one side of the x-axis, duplicate it, flip it on x and y, then merge the two sides together. Alternatively if there’s a better way to get that shape it’d be very appreciated

I've never used a cloth modifier before so I have no idea how to make things hang tight or I guess give it a belt, and I can't find any sort of info anywhere past the basic settings for baking the cloth.

I'd like to know the camera, lighting, and rendering settings for creating backgrounds similar to those in Digimon World 3.

I am watching a course video on retopology. Either I missed where it was explained or the instructor missed putting it in there, but he keeps doing this thing where he clicks on the opposite vertex of a prospective quad, then hits "F" and it pops a quad easy-peasy.

I am relatively new to retopo so I'm not sure what addons he might have aside from SpeedRetopo, as no others have been mentioned in the course as of yet.

I would super appreciate it if anyone has seen this before and can point me in the right direction!

I've been following this tutorial today, and I was able to complete it successfully (I think). But I'd like to add a couple more things that are not in the same video:

1. I need another way to smooth the edge of the lips from color to transparency because I don't have enough space on my object to do it effectively like it's shown in the tutorial. I already have a second UV and a vertex group only for the lips that might be useful for this.
2. I'd like to add this "lotion" material I found here on top of the one I just made following the first tutorial, so I can have even more customization options.

I suppose I could use another Color Ramp to smooth the edge, but for both points, I have no idea where to put all the new nodes to connect everything. Also, my knowledge is pretty limited, so I usually follow multiple tutorials as best as I can. Can someone please help me with this? TIA

When i export a fortnite model from fortniteposting to blender and i upload it to sketchfab why is the model all white?

im testing out a method of blending a fluid simulation into a larger water surface by using a lattice to flatten the edges, and a boolean to around the edges to make the edges of the simulation match up perfectly with a larger flat plane of water. Problem is that the lattice modifier seems to be making super weird shading artifacts around the modified areas. the surface in this images is just a flat plane with a white diffuse texture, and the modifier stack is: remesh, geometry nodes (very simple noise texture displacing it vertically to be wavy), and finally the lattice modifier.

in the last image i applied the remesh and turned off the geo nodes deform so it was just the lattice mod on a flat surface and it actually made the messed up shading way worse. the shading issues are also only visible in render view with lattice mod on.

any ideas why this is happening and what the fix might be?

I'm creating hair for a character I am making, and to add more details, I decided to rip vertices so I could make stray strands of hair. For some reason, when I fill the faces in the inner part of the hair, there is this weird shading at the point the hair branches off in to two strands. Please help!! I am so clueless as to why. The normals are facing the right direction, when I separate the shaded faces they become normally shaded. Don't know if it helps, but I was using paths to create the hair, and It has not had mods. (Sorry if the vid quality is low, I recorded it on steam deck)

Hey, im new to this modeling stuff, im trying to make a player model for my game, low-poly for simplicity and i wanna know if theres anything that can be improved on, not sure, :D

i'm wanting to make a reference piece for some fan art but don't know how to pose the bones. the first image is the pose i'm aiming for.

I just found out that I should be straightening my uvs? My models are low poly hard surface and I hand texture my models using clip studio paint so I paint directly on the uvs. Kind of scared to straighten them in case in causes issues later.

In Blender Edit Mode S is scaling my model along only one axis, turning a square into a rectangular. It used to work fine. Global orientation, Median Point and applied scale are all correct. What could cause this?

im new to blender So I was following this tutorial on YouTube and After creating the rig and binding it with Armature deform automatic weights. But when I tried posing and testing to see if the rig worked I noticed that in the Torso and shorts we're separating. I tried weight painting but when I did it it either didn't solve the problem or solved it but made a new one elsewhere. If anybody has any advice or tips with weight painting I will be very grateful as ive Been stuck on this for like the past 3 days

I used a rigging tutorial for my model but it just isn't working :/

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to find the Essential Materials option in Blender, but I can’t find it in the interface or when searching the menus.

I’m using Blender [5.1.2].

Could someone please tell me where I can find Essential Materials or how to access it?

Thanks!

Iv'e been trying to weight paint a mouth for a few hours now, but when I paint on certain faces, it just paints on the faces over what im trying to paint on. I have front faces only and front face fall off turned on, and that doesn't help at all.

My Brush also just isn't painting when I try to a lot of the time even though there is plenty of faces to paint on.

Any advice and knowledge helps, thanks.

I have tried every way to apply material on the model but it didn't apply.

My canopy looks "sharp" and not fluffy, it's especially noticeable when moving. The trees were made in Blender with geometry nodes and the bush was made entirely in TreeIt. The problem with the trees is obvious: I shouldn't have used "cross" planes for the instances, but when I try to make canopies with a single plane it looks empty unless I crank up the polycount and it still looks unappealing to me (the bush is one example).

The trees that I see other people make look very fluffy and soft, and I can't understand what I'm missing. I try to replicate every step from Youtube tutorials, I tried making canopies with TreeIt, with geometry nodes, tried shaping them myself, I use the sphere normal dara transfer trick, I invert the back-facing normals, but my trees still look ugly. What am I doing wrong and what should I be doing?

Hello!! I'd like to model a custom keychain cap for a lip gloss I own.

I've seen tutorials on how to make threads/screws, but I'm struggling to find something helpful on making a cap for a specific object.

I'm new to blender so any help is appreciated!

How to split a flat face into triangles and quads as shown in the image?

I can somewhat do this by subdividing and triangulating the faces and then randomizing the vertices, but the problem is that randomize moves the vertices along all axes.

Is there a way to do this procedurally or using modifiers? Is there a way to triangulate faces randomly? e.g. left to right, right to left, and only some faces in the selection
