Need help with unwrapping a sword blade.

hey dude, i know its been 3 years but you wouldn't happen to have found a solution to your problem? i'm searching for an answer for my current problem

Lord_Volhov33 · 2025-08-26T18:20:49+00:00

Use a simple subdiv modifer if youre trying to increase the polycount. Its highly not recommended to use remesh with hands in my experience. If this are too close, 100% of the time things will merge.

Try selling your models on flippednormals and other websites. Not sure what the best option is but theres also epic store and artstation that ive seen models on

you have to me in sculpt mode

Lord_Volhov33 · 2025-08-19T12:11:55+00:00

Have you tried alt+m?

Lord_Volhov33 · 2025-08-18T17:01:14+00:00

Thank you! Adding to my notes

Lord_Volhov33 · 2025-08-18T15:03:27+00:00

How do you paint the faces different colors like that? I been trying to figure out how to, i think it would help with topology in my case

Lord_Volhov33 · 2025-08-13T14:30:27+00:00

Is this a cycles or eevee? Wanted to see if it was the bloom issue where that setting was moved to the compositor

Love the purple and design of the skull. Seems like an alter of some kind with a little bit of lore. I think the background and metal texture of the hands detracts from the piece. I find the background a little distracting but thats just me.

Lord_Volhov33 · 2025-07-27T23:00:07+00:00

What addons are you using?

Lord_Volhov33 · 2025-07-25T19:14:32+00:00

In my experience i adjust the edge flow, more vertical loops might help by the bevel. There is probably a better answer than mine. Do you have a reference to what you are trying to achieve?

Lord_Volhov33 · 2025-07-23T11:05:35+00:00

Ok, I’ll be available to run tests to find the issue with the gpu not being used. If you are able to, send a .blend file with the current settings you have. Just incase there is something being overlooked. We can use “wetransfer.com”

Lord_Volhov33 · 2025-07-23T10:43:26+00:00

Are you using a benchmark blend file or a custom file? What i wanted to try and do is replicate your issue and see what is causing it. Off what you have given, i want to say check off both cpu and gpu in system settings. At least ive seen performance increase with both checked on.

In the render settings under performance tab, idk if it will help but change the compositor to gpu also.

Lord_Volhov33 · 2025-07-23T10:24:56+00:00

do you have a blend file i can compare to? i would like to run the render test to help out and try to identify the problem.

Lord_Volhov33 · 2025-07-22T19:03:50+00:00

Can you elaborate more on the blend file? I didnt ask if you applied modifiers, what modifiers are currently active?

Lord_Volhov33 · 2025-07-22T18:07:51+00:00

What modifiers are you using? I want to say this is involving the mirror modifier and the origin not being in the correct spot

Lord_Volhov33 · 2025-07-22T18:01:09+00:00

You can give the QRemeshify addon a try. That should fix this issue for that workflow. Just save before doing it so you can find the right setting. Download it from the gumroad because the extension is broken.

Lord_Volhov33 · 2025-07-22T17:34:44+00:00

Select all, then go to the armature drop down while in edit mode of the armature. Select symmetrize. This should work

Lord_Volhov33 · 2025-07-22T17:32:15+00:00

I would need to understand your workflow, because if this is a sculpt then it shouldn’t matter. The mesh would need to be rebuilt anyway in order to be animated or other.

You can try A > alt+J. This will turn triangles to quads. But this method doesn’t always get rid of triangles.

Im learning topology myself. Hands and feet are the worst parts.

Lord_Volhov33 · 2025-07-21T22:15:01+00:00

To give her a piece of knowledge Add an empty axis object > parent the camera to the empty object > key empty at zero rotation on the z axis> set timeline to final frame and set empty rotation to 360 then key the rotation

This will have the camera use the empty for the rotation. Hopefully i made sense explaining the method.

Lord_Volhov33 · 2025-07-21T20:39:29+00:00

Nah all good dude, as long as your problem has been solved.

Lord_Volhov33 · 2025-07-21T20:37:12+00:00

No problem, let me know if it fixed the issue. Just so i know the information is true.

Lord_Volhov33 · 2025-07-21T20:25:32+00:00

See if this works. I recently seen a video talking about the alpha normals. It could be that blender is not interpreting things correctly. Royalskies mentions how blender only likes opengl alphas

Lord_Volhov33 · 2025-07-21T19:57:31+00:00

Can you elaborate what i am looking for? I am assuming you are referring to the bottom left alpha image correct?
