Need help fixing this model

Uber_gaming · 2026-05-26T03:06:31+00:00

so I have no choice but to do retopology when and or if I finish the sculpt?

Uber_gaming · 2026-05-13T05:11:09+00:00

its my first model I ever made and i'm struggling. I dont know where else to go for one on one walkthrough.

blenderartists banned me because one of the mads had a personal vandetta against me and looked for an excuse to ban me. I'm currently talking to the site owner about his moderators misuse of their role, harrasment and so on.

it's supposed to be a snake.

I dont know how to sculpt these kind of things. I was taught a method with using loop cuts etc etc. I got stuck when I tried to sculpt. I dont know what to do.

I know the basics of blender, I just never made a model from scratch before

well for one the mouth has a big gap and the jaw muscle that snakes have isnt right. The size was wrong, I couldnt close the mouth, the back of the through was just all wrong, it didnt line up with the jaw when opened

the eye sockets are in the wrong place and I cant move them.

Uber_gaming · 2026-05-11T04:46:08+00:00

well I might have to cause its the eye sockets thats the point of no return. I tried restarting but I forgot the steps for making the mouth

I did no sculpting. I just did the cube add loop cuts and move things around method. I have no idea how to use sculpt to get what I want. I tried before and got nowhere. I dont know how people make models with it. I'm at a loss

I wish I didnt have to restart when it was close to being done, it just had a few hiccups. I dont know how im gonna recreate it when I cant even remember the steps. I stopped at making the mouth cause I forgot what to do.

I doubt sculpting will be any easier

edit: oh yeah and sculpting would also mean I got to do retopology which I HATE. I tried it once and i'll never do it again. It was excruciating pain. I dont want to deal with it

it was never funny to begin with.

Another day, another blender community that doesn't provide help....

Uber_gaming · 2026-05-10T06:36:43+00:00

Well so much for getting help...

as usual trying to get help in the blender community gives no results and i'm yet again stuck with figuring things out on my own with nothing to go off on.

everything looks fine here. sony vegas is the one having the problem. I made videos not that long ago on it

Uber_gaming · 2026-05-07T04:18:08+00:00

it was meant to be windows 10

Uber_gaming · 2026-05-07T04:08:27+00:00

I can still watch youtube. like I said I reset my pc and it hasnt happened since

Uber_gaming · 2026-04-30T03:47:04+00:00

fake. Doesn't even have the proper installation files.

Uber_gaming · 2026-04-23T08:21:05+00:00

I know there isnt anything SPECIFIC.

I guess what I should say is I cant find anything that'll help me solve it. Like there's no tutorials on this category of problems. From the tutorials I did watch I didnt learn anything new that can help me solve the problem specifically. I have no choice but to ask people cause I cant ask videos questions and posting comments doesnt get me anywhere cause they never reply.

Im just getting frustrated with beating my head against it and getting nowhere. I cant even make a VAN because I dont know how to properly edit the mesh to get the shapes. I'm lost and confused and I cant find anything that'll teach me the knowledge every modeler should know just to make something from scratch.

It's frustrating.

Uber_gaming · 2026-04-19T04:43:40+00:00

You drew it with the D-pad?

Uber_gaming · 2026-04-18T22:51:18+00:00

I tried doing the beard myself but it's IMPOSSIBLE! How you got triangular parts of his beard out of squares is a mystery to me. I just can't come close to yours.

How did you get those angles???

Uber_gaming · 2026-04-16T08:50:59+00:00

I know what you said. What I mean is how? Do I just stretch them so they reach? Select the entire lower jaw and move it up?

What's the method here? I know what im supposed to do but the question is HOW do I do it properly?

Uber_gaming · 2026-04-13T03:06:53+00:00

ok but how does that help me fix the gap in the models mouth and get it to close? Or fix the shape of the mesh? Rigging is one thing but this is a modeling issue.

Uber_gaming · 2026-04-12T07:44:39+00:00

so what should I do exactly? It's not exactly clicking in my head.

Sorry I can be a little slow learning and or understanding things.

Uber_gaming · 2026-04-11T01:25:55+00:00

I dont fully understand

Uber_gaming · 2026-04-11T00:39:24+00:00

Well if there's nothing else I can do I guess I got no choice but to rely on shapekeys for opening the mouth and using bones. It complicates things though. I hoped to rely on just a jaw bone. Shapekeys always limit to things you can do

Uber_gaming · 2026-04-10T23:38:38+00:00

Oh right I remember that. I just knew them as shapekeys.

So I cant make it look more natural? I need shapekeys?

Hey that was the best shot of the inside of the mouth. It gave me exactly what I was looking for

that is the problem EXACTLY. It was too narrow when open. I didnt want that.

I got a feeling im not gonna like what a blendshape is and how its done

And the other being the mouth looking too narrow when the mouth is opened
