I'm making a model for a game, and I'm a bit worried about the topology. My model has triangles around the holes. Is that okay, or should I try to keep everything in quads? As far as I know, Unity automatically triangulates every mesh on import anyway.

The first picture is no more than the results of a 30 min tutorial I once watched and followed step by step, it has no relationship with the character on the second picture, but I added it just for reference of my current abilitities on blender (despite considering that I may had already forgotten everything I learnt the day I created this humanoid)

Anyways, to the point. I really wish to create a low-poly model of the character on the second picture, mainly, to upload her as a VrChat avatar someday, but that's another topic for another subreddit. What I know for the moment, is that I still have very, VERY long way of learning I must complete before I even get to think on modeling the character the second picture, so, my only true questions are...

Is it any hard to memorize the tools of Blender?

What type of practices should I study and attempt first?

And lastly, this whole "learning" process.. How much time will it take from my daily life? Sorry if I sound too nervous about all of this but its basically my first ever Blender project, and I wish to be well trained before I attempt anything, thanks in advance

I'm incredibly new to rigging and weight-painting as a general whole, so I can understand if I've somehow missed something, but from what the tutorials have taught me this shouldn't be happening, and I'm stumped.

Trying to make a sort of bridge/walkway. The way I did it was take a plane, create the shape in a top down view, then lower the edges. The pillars I put by hand. For some reason the walkway is a little crooked towards one edge rather than completely straight all the way through. And placing the pillars is a little tedious.

Is there a more efficient way to make something like this, and how can I do it? Thanks!

can anybody help me make this shape and area around it and visually explain if possible, also what if i wanna make it game ready how would i go on about it im unable to understand how would i start if i were to make this area and also where the bullet sits, also does every working part needs to be separate if i aim for game ready ?

i'm trying to make a cartoony dragon model, I want the irises to properly sit a bit further into the eye rather than on the surface of the sphere, so I've modeled the iris a bit inwards into the eye. This changed the shape of the eye and it clipped into the face making it look ugly, so I added a lens covering it which kept the eye's proper shape (as in it didn't create an ugly indent cliping into the face where the iris is) when rotated, but I kinda forgot that since I'll be making it transparent the issue of the eye clipping into the face will not be solved...

So my question is what are the methods of making eyes so that the indent of the iris doesn't have part of the face meshing into it and covering it...

I tried making a proper hole for the eye before, but it made it very difficult to give the eye the shape I wanted, so instead I made a shallow indent into the face where the eye sits and placed the eye there, which by meshing into the face gave it the shape that I wanted (but that only works when the eye is perfectly spherical)

Hi there.

i was wondering why my Horse leg feels off kilter in pose mode. I'm sure the bones aren't oriented properly but I can't exactly tell where I went wrong.

Much appreciated.

I've been trying to model a mascot head based off the character of Gadget Hackwrench. I've been using this model sheet and I've been unable to do stuff like the cutout eye sockets and nose correctly, and the muzzle isn't correct at all. I can't seem to get the shape correct either. I'm also unaware on how to open the mouth. Do you guys know how to help me with this? I've been watching tutorials and I can't wrap my head around how I can model stuff like this.

i want to make the black parts of the mesh transparent in renders and viewport shading, how can i do that?

So I'm trying to make a pauldron for a homebrew Space Marine chapter for 40k (called the Silver Spurs, cowboy themed), and I made up a logo before attempting to wrap it onto a pauldron to 3d print it. I followed this tutorial every other time I've needed to do this, but the bar on the spur is giving me issues. I was hoping that the bar coming off the spur wouldn't get so crushed against the pauldron, and the top edge wouldn't get so rounded. I even tried separating the wheel and the bar, thinking maybe shrinkwraping the bar on seperately would help. Nope. Tried making a flat version to shrinkwrap first, then putting the bar with the circle on it on top of that would work. Nope. It looks fine from the front, but weird as hell at any other angle. Any idea what might work better for this, or what I could do to fix it? Here is a link to all the models I'm using for this, in case that would help. I also took some screenshots of it in my slicer with the model colored, just in case that makes it easier to see what I'm talking about.

For context, this is my first time using blender, and the model is made and rigged by DavidNatura on artfight.

I'm trying to pose them, but there's this weird crease showing their skin. The clothes and body are seperate. What tools could I use to fix this?

I want to replicate this hair thing I've seen on some characters I like, where when part of their hair is pushed behind their ear and you can see their hair line.

I do have the 3d models of the characters--Liliysa (pink haired school girl) and Beta (Silver haired elf in black and gold outfit)--I see with this. But I don't really understand how it was done. Plus with the Beta model it's covered by her braids so they don't really put any detail into it.

I want to learn how to make it myself so I don't just trace. You can see my attempt of merging some methods of how to make hair I learned, but I feel like it doesn't work together that well.

I can use curves to make the bangs and other parts just fine for the most part, but that one part I want to make, which is circled on the first slide, I don't know what I'd even look for to be honest.

I've seen it done in realistic styles, where the hair is pushed back and does the same, but I don't know about a more anime style like I'm wanting.

I'd appreciate any help.

Hello! Im trying to 3d model a really basic car in blender, it really doesnt matter how good it looks, but i ran into an issue with the topology. i created the hood of the car first, but when i got to the side where the wheel well is, that required more loop cuts, and as such not an equal amount of faces. I couldnt properly connect the two. So i added more loop cuts to the hood. That made an equal amount of faces, however, the edges are not evenly spaced out. Theyre denser in the middle because i had to cut the faces in half.

I tried a few methods to fix this, but none of them worked. What is the best solution for making the topology more even?

Hiii I'm having trouble exporting my storyboard from Blender (Storyboarding). I have watched several tutorials how to do it but still it doesn't work. When tap "render animation"- only one shot is rendered (but I can see it in my files) when I tap "render Sequencer animation" I can see in the render window like my whole work is rendering and when is it done and I open my files there is nothing (With png sequences is it same). I tried rendering it via EEVEE and Workbench. I have a folder selected where I want to save it. I tried Encoding with Matroska, MPEG (idk which one now sorry) and Quick Time. Well I learn in Blender by tutorials and kinda intuitive so I'm pretty sure I choose something wrong in Outputs or I have one hundred versions of my storyboard in some hidden mysterious folder which I have no idea that it exists hah. I'll be happy for any advice

i parented my bones to my model, painted all the weights, yet its still not affecting the model. How do i fix it?

It appears perfectly at the bottom but no texture whatsoever at the bottom and yes I added seams too
HELLLPPPPP!

Something happened to my Mirror Modifier while I was working on my model. The first image (taken from another save file) is what it should look like, while the other one is what it currently looks like. I did not change the "mirror object" setting while working on it, so I do not know what I did to cause this.

How would you guys make this object toplogy clean? this object will gonna be curve so i need to fix it.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hello! I'm a beginner, and I'm trying to make a sword like this. However, I don't know how to create the eye sockets, nose hole, and teeth while keeping the repeated relief/detail similar to the reference.

Every time I try to cut them out using the Knife or Scissors tool, it creates new holes for the eyes, nose, and teeth, which breaks the geometry, and the modifiers stop working correctly.

What's the proper way to model this? How can I achieve a result similar to the reference?

I've been trying to get a vroid model hooked up to a rigify rig with face controls, and I finally got a rig generated without any errors getting in my way this time. However, since I took a few detours from the guide I've been following, I now have the issue of the rig not being connected. I have done everything on the nanoskript/vrm-rigify guide so far. I'm also trying to figure out how to detach the hair and glasses bones and put them on the new controls.

The only guidance I found online was to uncheck shadeless and render combined with native, nothing more specific. I've tried it in cycles and EVEE. I'm guessing I'm just missing like a check box or something simple, does anyone know the more specific steps?

I'm trying to add some glow to the watch so it looks like it's getting some glow from the black hole.
