I HATE Dynotopo, I hate the way it crunches up models with ugly triangles that fuck up the surface finish and cause it to act weird with certain brushes like smoothing or just straight up don't work like relax and slide. I wish there was a better voxel remesh that could correctly handle T-junctions and not fuse surfaces that are too close to each other. And it fucking kills me that they working on exactly this 4 years ago and then stopped when Pablo took over the sculpting branch and fucked up the code and then fucked off to work on a shitty ipdad app.

I'm trying to do the meme donut tutorial and my icing disappears when I apply the solidify modifier.
>changing solidify modifier offset or thickness does not affect it
>normals are facing the right way
>object is set to visible in the outliner
>modifier order does not seem to affect anything (it disappears no matter the order)
>all visibility options are checked in the object properties tab and viewport display as is set to textured
The thing is after I apply it, if I go into edit mode you can actually see that it applied it correctly and the mesh is there, but it just won't show and I have no clue why. Am I fucking retarded? Donut mesh on the left is before applying solidify, and the one on the right is after application so I know the damn icing is there.

Anyone here into noding? 4.5 finally released the node everyone has been begging for for years. I've already found a use for it. It makes remapping SO much easier. If you have multiple groups you want to normalize, you can do it with ease now. Just use this not do find the min and max of each group. Then, grab a map range node. And plug the min and max in there. And presto! normalized groups!

So I kind of fucked up by making clothes for a character in a T pose while the armature for their body mesh has a rest pose in an A pose. When I do the weight data transfer and armature modifier it snaps the clothes out of alignment between the A pose and T pose.How do I weight transfer a posed mesh?I tried duplicating the body mesh, applying the armature modifier, then doing a weight transfer. That didn't seem to work. I've tried a bunch of other combinations of these sorts of steps to just brute force it into working, but all I've managed to do is burn through an evening's worth of productivity.

Character for Iron age setting. Hair is a placeholder from a Skyrim mod, hands are being redone as well as redoing the rigging for the hands, feet need to be redone but aren't a priority.
I have this strange error where parts of the rig especially ones using IK will detach and then if I move anything in the rig they snap to their correct position, I'm thinking of just deleting the rig and redoing it, maybe the rig itself is bugged.
Criticism very much welcome.

what's the use of Quad Remesher in the sculpting workflow?
on a sculpt it absolutely decimates high frequency details, even if the QR retopo has twice as many tris
all I can think of is that:
>used after remeshing loose objects together and want a clean base to build on
>can bake normal maps onto lower poly QR it so it's more performant
>maybe good for creating bases for multires?
>likely makes posing sculpts easier, not sure

I'm enjoying creating stuff in blender, but fuck me is the UI of this thing brutally unintuitive. It's like the software actively wants you to piss off. I've never seen anything else like it. Take pic related as an example. For the modifiers you have a cursor for a drop-down menu on the left, and an X on the right, but for the physics panel they removed the X from the right side and placed it above on the related physics button. Fucking why? This is just one small example, but these types of annoyances pile up, and they apply not only to the UI but everything across the board.

I want to pose and animate some characters. However, when I tried to open a model I downloaded from SmutBase, my computer almost crashed. It was probably too much for my poor PC. For this reason, I decided to download an SFM model and import it into Blender using an add-on. Everything looked fine except for the armature. From what I've read online, I need to remove the existing armature and create a new one with Rigify. I've been following a tutorial on the subject, but I must admit that it's quite complicated, especially when positioning the face bones. I have to do this with every model I download.
Is this truly the only solution, or am I unaware of another way to solve this problem?

I hate open source software
Why is it that every time I have a use case and I think it's relatively simple, it is completely impossible to do that thing? I just want to make an outline. I don't care if it's expensive, let me worry about that, just let me fucking do it.

I want to try animating
Where do people go to get blender models?
Like in general, I know of Smutbase, and some people sell stuff on Itch and Gumroad, but I dont know how to actually search for them unless I know the artist beforehand
But where would I go to get a solid made model to learn with?

what exactly is the use case for multires?
I'm going through the sculpting course on CG Boost and afaik you create a base mesh using dyntopo and/or the voxel remesher, then use something like Quad Remesher to create a base to apply the multires on so that you can polish and add in high frequency details
thing is, with multires it lags to fuck and sometimes the brushes don't behave as expected, like draw sharp being all jittery and seemingly having a mind of its own
I'm using the sculpt base mesh option and made sure the scale and everything is applied beforehand
the only thing it seems to do is make the mesh very smooth and clean since it's all quad-based, but the lag is unbearable

now that rosenthal is retiring from blender foundation will blender continue to be good or will it be taken over by the non-profit professional class like what happened to mozilla?

I haven't blended in years, I think they just swapped to the new UI was when I last used it. before I slowly start getting back into things, are there any must-have addons or settings that I need to have a better experience? I'm not talking about user preferences, I'm talking about things that factually make working easier/better
also why the are people talking about workflows, sure it matters to follow a certain path but you'll never follow the same route twice so ''following a workflow'' doesn't matter

I'm using a 3D into 2D sprite workflow
as far as I can tell, matcaps give me better results in less time compared to real-time lighting. left is rendered, right is matcap
the only catch is that I can only use one matcap at a time, so if something has metal armor for example, I can't have my regular matcap and metal simultaneously
is there a way around this?
the only way I can think of is doing two sets of renders, one for color and the other for metal, then manually overlaying the metal sections, like so, but this would be time consuming when making entire sprite sheets

I could've swore ambientCG or CG Axis had some sort of blender add-on for built-in texturing and the like, so you can just drag and drop materials from the site without first having to download 12k PBR materials
does something like this exist? I swear I saw it not too long ago
even Bryce had this kinda shit

is there no way to adjust the intensity / blur of shadows of HDRIs in Cycles?
I can easily do it in Eeevee by just tweaking the 'sun' angle in the World properties and it behaves exactly as I'd expect it to, but in Cycles I'm often left with these cartoony stencil shadows
even the actual HDRI image doesn't have shadows that harsh, yet their material preview image is harsh as fuck

Anything interesting?
https://developer.blender.org/docs/release_notes/5.0/>There are six new Geometry Nodes based modifiers.
New array modifier, I did not expect that. Probably going to take a while to learn the parameters from those modifiers, but at least I don't have to make them myself.>Radial symmetry settings are now stored on the mesh instead of as part of the scene,
About time.

I figured out how to do a toon shader in UE but I'm having issues in Blender
The way it works in UE is that faces under a specific "light" value have their texture replaced with a "shadow" texture I made.. It gives me a lot more control over the model colors.
I haven't figured out how to setup the shader nodes in Blender to do that, if anyone has any examples I'd appreciate it

when I go into camera view, it restricts my vision / render to what's inside the camera, but I want to capture the entire viewport
the obvious suggestion is View > Viewport Render Image, but that only renders whatever's inside the camera, and you can't do that in Cycles anyway
I want to render it as if Render passerpartout is turned off
basically, how do I make my camera exactly the same as what my extended viewport sees when in camera mode?
Ctrl + Alt + 0 isn't working in this case either, and I can't just leave camera mode and do it manually since the focal length and stuff isn't the same, so I just clip into the environment in free view
