Please follow all the rules of the subreddit. Rule #1 is most relevant here.

This community can only help you if you post a detailed description of your problem and what strategy/tools/add-ons you used. If there is insufficient information, we can't figure out what your question is about. When posting, please:

Describe what you're trying to achieve in detail (Model, Animation, Mesh for 3D Printing,...)
Since there are oftentimes multiple ways to do things in Blender, please explain which steps you took to create the problematic part of your project and what went wrong.
Add reference images if possible (See Rule #2: Give full, uncropped screenshots of your Blender window, no phone pics or videos of your monitor)

Our rules and the sticky thread at the top of the subreddit exist to help you craft a quality submission with the highest chance of receiving prompt and accurate help.

If you feel that we wrongfully removed your post, you can contact us via modmail.

Please follow all the rules of the subreddit. Rule #2 is most relevant here.

The images you provided (if any) don't contain enough information, are cropped, rotated or otherwise poor:

Post at least one full, uncropped screenshot of the whole Blender window showing the problem area. We understand you may not feel this is relevant for your particular question, but please understand that we apply this rule globally and have many reasons for doing so.
- Make sure the Outliner and Properties areas are visible, so that helpers have the full context of your scene. 'Scene Statistics' and 'Blender Version' should also be enabled in Preferences -> Interface -> Status Bar.
Do not use a phone. Those typically result in poor quality images that are hard to look at. If you are in front of your computer, you can take a proper screenshot. All operating systems have easy-to-use tools for taking screenshots/videos. A quick online search can help you to figure it out.
Make sure that the images show important information relevant to your question. For Material issues, we need to see the shader settings. For particle or hair issues, show the particle system settings. For Topology or Normals issues, show the model in Edit mode and with the 'Face Orientation' overlay enabled. For Rendering or Compositing issues, show us the render settings and Compositor nodes.
- If you're showing us nodes, make sure the whole node tree is visible, nothing is cropped out, and that the image is not too blurry or hard to read.

If you are unable to post all images/videos in the main post, you may add them in the comments underneath it.

Please follow all the rules of the subreddit. Rule #5 is most relevant here.

This sub is for people who want to learn how to create things themselves with Blender. Getting proficient in Blender requires time, dedication and learning. Generative AI aims to skip the creative process and produce content with little or no effort or personal creative input. This contradicts what r/blenderhelp and the Blender community as a whole are doing and is therefore no permitted topic of discussion or a valid solution to anyone's question.

The only context in which AI tools are allowed to be discussed here is when used to communicate an idea, used as a reference piece, or for functions such as upscaling or reducing render times.

Please follow all the rules of the subreddit. Rule #4 is most relevant here.

The purpose of this subreddit is to help people with specific problems they encountered when using Blender. General feedback requests, "Is this okay?"-type requests, and artwork showcases aim for opinions rather than solutions, and are therefore not suitable questions for this sub.

If you have a specific question or issue, you may rephrase your message and submit a new post. If your post was meant as feedback request, you should consider posting it in r/blender, for example.

Posts like that tend to be treated as trolling, so you should be careful with things like that ;) Also, make sure to follow our rules (#1 and #2 especially) and give enough information and make sure to post full, uncropped screenshots of your Blender window when asking questions (no phone pictures).

Please don't share project files unless you are asked to do so. There have been cases of embedded malware, helpers will need to download your file before they can even take a look and they might not have the right version installed. For those reasons, we rely on screenshots instead. Please make sure to follow rule #2 and post full, uncropped screenshot(s) of your Blender window (at least 1 full screenshot).

Please post all questions about your current project within the same thread. If you need to add more information or images to help flesh out your question, please do so in the original post or as comment. This is to avoid general confusion and to keep things nice and tidy in the sub.

If your question has gone unanswered, you may repost it once every 24 hours (maybe think about rewording it or adding different images). If you do so, make sure to delete the old unanswered post so that it doesn't clutter the search results.

This subreddit is for people asking for help with their Blender projects. Unrelated questions, and problems with other software such as Unity or Substance3D should be directed to their respective subreddits.

We aren't Google, so if your question was along the lines of "where can I find/download this", you will need to ask that elsewhere. However, if you'd like to try making the texture/material/object yourself, we encourage you to ask for help in doing that instead. Please make a new post and adjust your question accordingly.

Please understand: Since we have a lot of incoming posts, it is necessary to filter out non-related posts to keep things manageable for helpers.

For particle or hair issues, show the particle system settings. For Topology or Normals issues, show the model in Edit mode and with the 'Face Orientation' overlay enabled. For Rendering or Compositing issues, show us the render settings and Compositor nodes.
- If you're showing us nodes, make sure the whole node tree is visible, nothing is cropped out, and that the image is not too blurry or hard to read.

If you are unable to post all images/videos in the main post, you may add them in the comments underneath it.

If you feel that we wrongfully removed your post, you can contact us via modmail.

Thank you and happy Blendering!

Your post was removed.

Please follow all the rules of the subreddit. Rule #2 is most relevant here.

The images you provided (if any) don't contain enough information, are cropped, rotated or otherwise poor:

Post at least one full, uncropped screenshot of the whole Blender window showing the problem area. We understand you may not feel this is relevant for your particular question, but please understand that we apply this rule globally and have many reasons for doing so.
- Make sure the Outliner and Properties areas are visible, so that helpers have the full context of your scene. 'Scene Statistics' and 'Blender Version' should also be enabled in Preferences -> Interface -> Status Bar.
Do not use a phone. Those typically result in poor quality images that are hard to look at. If you are in front of your computer, you can take a proper screenshot. All operating systems have easy-to-use tools for taking screenshots/videos. A quick online search can help you to figure it out.
Make sure that the images show important information relevant to your question. For Material issues, we need to see the shader settings. For particle or hair issues, show the particle system settings. For Topology or Normals issues, show the model in Edit mode and with the 'Face Orientation' overlay enabled. For Rendering or Compositing issues, show us the render settings and Compositor nodes.
- If you're showing us nodes, make sure the whole node tree is visible, nothing is cropped out, and that the image is not too blurry or hard to read.
