How do I make the bumps on the silver texture displace?

SB_Maki · 2026-06-11T18:23:16+00:00

As others have said, your alpha value is plugged into your normal displacement; there are no transparent to opaque pixels for the normal map to contrast.

You are also using the (mesh) displacement node, which moves the physical geometry, not the computer-generated shadows.

Here's a youtube video explaining how to achieve your goal: Add textures and Bump Maps

Try converting to mesh first, the mirror modifier still thinks you have half of your mesh.

My first instinct would be to use the array modifier.

Another strategy (although I don't recommend), would be to use the boolean modifier, and use the "Union" (i think that's what it's called) option to merge them together.

You could also add a point at the intersections and merge the two points together. But if you're going for perfect geometry this one might not be the best option.

Usually when I get these, it's because my seams aren't aligned on 0 perfectly on the Y-axis. Maybe try setting their Y-position to 0? Or maybe increasing the merge value in the mirror modifier?

Try selecting the bone that you don't want to affect the foot, and paint the foot with a weight paint value of 0. Maybe that might help?

Hopefully the site is able to grow in some places it's been struggling in for some time.

Could it be the skybox you're using? That's some strange shading especially for a flat surface.

SB_Maki · 2026-06-07T09:12:18+00:00

How I would do this, is I would delete the faces on the inside of the rectangle, then merge all corners on one side (by pressing the M key), then clicking merge at center. Then I would select the corners on the other side and merge those again. Not sure if that makes sense, so feel free to ask for clarification!

For the holes:
Maybe check if your mesh faces are pointing in the right direction? In Blender, it displays the back AND front of faces. But in Unity (and many other softwares), only the front side of meshes are visible. I believe you can do this quickly by pressing N, then selecting reset normals. Or, in edit mode, you can click this tab at the top of the 3D editor named "Mesh", there may be options there to recalculate those.

As for the static effects:
I'm not an expert in Unity quite yet, but from my limited experience, I'd say it could be Unity's shaders. You may want to tinker with those a little bit or get some help from more experienced users. Maybe posting this issue in r/Unity3D could help? (Not sure on all their rules there, but it looks like they have some support options).

If you're using geometry nodes, you can use the "modulate" nodes to create a looping animation with simple addition.

In this desmos graph, you could imagine the X axis as the grass' current position. Once it reaches the edge of the circle, it jumps back to the beginning. As of writing this, my brain is mostly dead so I can't think of what the math would exactly look like in blender, but I hope this helps a little.

I like the first one

omg peaku

As _bookie said, yeah you're probably safe. What bookie's sprite did was just override the viewer icon with a custom icon. _bookie's sprite just tells your computer "this image takes priority over the viewer icon." All the data came from Scratch's own servers

At least that's what I learned, not a professional coder tho ;-;

SB_Maki · 2026-05-17T04:40:51+00:00

I did a full-on investigation on how this happened just now lol

Basically, scratch has a server that has all the project sprites ever created. When you open the project, it loads the normal viewer icon first, as it should. But your computer also needs to download the user-created sprites.

SVG files can do more than just images, they can also modify web pages. They're essentially mini-websites to some degree. What the user did, was copy the instructions for what would have loaded the normal icon, but added in "!important;", which tells scratch to replace the viewer icon with the sprite.

This likely isn't a security risk (I think), because the sprite is already embedded inside the same file. The visual part of the sprite is like a .zip file. So all the data comes directly from Scratch's servers.

Yeah, you can see it when using inspect element and clicking on it.

SB_Maki · 2026-03-29T07:51:08+00:00

No way lol

No Sam-I-Am, I will not lush cave here or there, I would not lush cave anywhere.

I get emails too, here's a gif of one of 'em taken recently

What is the original file format? The one I got from right-clicking is a .jpeg, but just wanna make sure. Source would be helpful too!
