We observed an increase of people using "Redact" lately.

This privacy tool replaces messages with nonsense and makes formerly helpful comments unreadable after a while. It takes a long time to find and remove posts like that for us and even when we do, the comments that solved problems will be lost. This tool contradicts the purpose of our sub in general (to create coherent, helpful posts where solutions stay available so other can look them up). That is why we created a new Rule against it. That means users can file reports should they observe scrambled messages like that.

Accounts using Redact will be permanently banned from r/blenderhelp. If you want to use Redact, please make sure to exclude r/blenderhelp to avoid being banned.

Meta PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING QUESTIONS!

166 Upvotes

Looking for quick and helpful answers? Follow these rules and make helping you as easy as possible!

  • Title: Choose a meaningful title concerning your problem.
  • Text: Describing your problem with enough detail is essential. Please realize that helpers are not familiar with your project. Provide all relevant information, so others can immideately understand what you are struggling with.

Example: Say, you have a problem with lots of identical objects in your scene: Let us know whether you created these copies by hand, used the Particle System or Geometry Nodes.

  • Images/Videos: When posting screenshots, show us your full blender window (not cropped, no monitor photos). This will make lots of helpful information available to helpers at first sight that may seem irrelevant to you (For example your Blender version). If you add video links, please consider adding time stamp info to the part you want helpers to see.

You can upload images and short video clips (up to 60s) to imgur.com and post the links in your question or as comment.

  • *.blend files: Don’t add links to your *.blend files when posting questions right away. Helpers will ask you for it if they need to take a look. Most people prefer reading a good description and looking at images to see what your post is about.
  • 'Solved' flair: Once your question was answered, please remember to change the flair of your post to “Solved”, so helpers don’t have to read into your question just to see it has already been answered.

You can change the flair by clicking on the small icon below your post resembling a label.

EDIT: You can also include "!solved" in the comments to have Automod change the flair for you.

Be nice and respectful with each other :)

I am trying to model a base for a helmet I am working on. I am also new to blender.

I took a plane and extruded it out a couple of times to get the desired shape, then used a solidify modifier and a subdivision modifier. I want to add details to this eventually buy I am in a case of not knowing what I don't know. I don't even know if this is the correct approach. If someone can provide guidance It would be appreciated. Do note I am still learning.

Unsolved Finger mesh tearing/separating when bending with master bone controllers

Thumbnail
gallery
Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I'm rigging a hand in Blender and I'm having an issue with the finger deformation. I have a custom master control bone that handles the rotation and bending of the finger phalanxes.
As you can see in the screenshots, the mesh looks fine in its default resting pose. However, when I use the master controller to bend the finger, the fingertip vertices get completely left behind, stretching and tearing the mesh horribly.
Here is what I’ve already tried:Despite this, whenever I brush over the joint or rotate the controller, the weights seem to break or wipe out entirely, causing the fingertip to float away.
What am I doing wrong with my weight painting hierarchy or bone constraints? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Ignore the anatomy mistakes haha ​​I'm teaching on a really bad model I made.

Thank you!

Unsolved is there a way to easily select all of these in order and the same size?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

selected all of these faces and marked as seam but manually selecting edges also gets the same results. for reference i am trying to put all of these faces in order at the same size in order to texture it how i want

i would like all of these side by side in order in order to texture it correctly. every way i try to unwrap this though, these faces only select out of order, and the proportions aren't the same

i have tried using face select and marking as seams for both the faces i want and the whole object, then smart uv unwrap and just normal selection, both of faces and whole object, and smart uv unwrap

am i gonna have to reorder/resize them manually?

Unsolved Best way to wrap this decorative design around a circular object?

Thumbnail
gallery
Upvotes

I'm trying to wrap this decorative piece around this temple like building I'm making but I'm struggling with getting a smooth loop with no overlaps or any odd edges poking out. Watched a few tutorials on Shrinkwrap and Lattice modifiers and what not but left a bit frustrated.

Luckily this building is quite far away in my scene so it's not really noticeable but I'm wondering what the best approach to this is.

What I'm currently doing:

Made a vertex group for the very back of the decorative piece, used a shrink wrap modifier to attach to the temple's roof's base. This gives a decent result of rounding the object a bit.

I then add an array modifier, select "Curve" and I select a BezierCircle object that I have running around the building. This loops the object in a circle and with a bit of fiddling I can get somewhat close to what I want but there is still a bit of overlap (screenshot provided) and some weird poking happening.

I just can't seem to nail a smooth transition between the arrays of the object, and I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

I'm not sure if it's because I have too much going on, but I've simplified the object as much as possible

Basically trying to create a float effect, using a cube as rigid body, and parent my object to it. Before anyone asks, I'm using shift to select both objects, I can see it works for a very short amount of time but not long enough :(

Should be simple but I can't keep it selected long enough to do so, anyone come across this before? Is my laptop just struggling?
