Ever wondered why XYZ-Axis are these specific colors? These are the colors where the normals are stored. The normals for the x axis is stored in the red channel, the normals for the y-axis in the green channel and the z-axis in the blue channel. I often draw normal maps for 2D sprites and it blew my mind as soon as i recognized this. It explained, why different engines handle stuff differently and why directions change based on the based hardware-implementation(DirectX/OpenGL/Vulkan) of the rendering engine.

@delqyrus2619 6 ай бұрын

@@ramirosandoval781 Every color is a channel of a n-byte sized color pallertte. 24 bit channels mean you have 3 channels out of 8 bit, which means 8 bit of precision for every channel. A channel is one range of color between 0 and 256 in a 24 or 32 bit color space(while 32 means you have some explicit alpha channel) 32 bit color space means you have a 8 bit value between 0 amd 256 fpr every channel - for every value if red, green and blue plus some alpha channel(8x4=32 bits)

Great video! Wanted to use model in gamejam project but I didn't manage to make it on time. Regarding IK bones: When you mentioned that you cannot uncheck "Deform" to multiple bones - you can do it. And you can change other options for multiple objects as well(in most cases). What to do: Before applying option/change hold left Alt key. This will tell Blender to apply changes to objects you have selected.

I think this might be the video that finally helps me learn to use Blender. Been bored with my work and eager to try something new. Although I'm not so interested in making super chibi-fied characters like yours (I want more realistic proportions while still keeping things fast and low poly), I definitely love your work flow from what I've seen so far, and this video does a great job of introducing the Blender interface. I haven't watched the whole thing yet, only about 40 minutes, but I'm eager to start over and follow along as soon as I have time.

Another awesome resource, thank you! Tiny tip: Selecting all bones and then running Armature > Names > Auto-Name Left/Right will suffix bone names with .L and .R according to their position. (Can be used before or after symmetrise). It might save you a couple of seconds in your 10-minute challenges!

@juleswombat5309 Жыл бұрын

Awesome. I hadn't appreciated the ability to Rig and Animate a template Character, before cloning. The confidence that new characters, with new vertices , would still animate reasonably well. (With a bit of refined paint editing) I was always worried that significant new edits, new vertices, would not be rigged/weighted to the animations to carry through. So Extrude and Loop cuts copy the vertex data, but when you move them, surely the vertex weights are impacted not necessarily correct. Your Hidden mode, when Weight painting is a very useful tip. I am not so proficient on weight painting. .

@Imphenzia Жыл бұрын

Extruded vertices will copy the weight, yes, so if you move them too far you will have to tweak. Loop cuts and knife cuts interpolate between the vertices based on distance.

@uber0ct0pus 2 ай бұрын

For anyone stuck on the edge part of the intro (sliding the edge of the torso to make the triangular hip shape) - if your model seems to be altering the entire shape whilst you drag, you may have Proportional Editing turned up. Once you drag, a tiny 'Move' window will pop up. On this, make sure your 'Proportional Size' is at minimum. Blender beginner here, only managed to figure this out by chance. Hopefully it helps someone else!
