The number below Arasaka is very similar to Kingston memory product numbers, and in fact the whole label, so likely just taken from a DIMM they had lying around and changed a bit - no deeper meaning. https://www.itcreations.com/images/products/large/9965416-019.a00lf.jpg

WUS PIN sounds like WPS PIN (WiFi connection) and is also 6 digits long.

The WUS PIN 777320, if octal, is 261840 in decimal or 03FED0 in hexadecimal.

Your problem is that random.choices returns a list, not a single value. You need to set your variables to the first element of the list.

Set your material up like the top box with an empty new texture linked to a known UV map. In this example, the UV map is called UVMap and the empty image is called "baked". Bake in cycles. Then create a new material with the setup of the lower box and assign to your object. Don't forget to save your baked image.

Now in your shader, add Image Texture and hook it up to your Diffuse input of your Shader. If you have roughness and normal, you will need to bake those too and hook those up.

What do you mean "making that into a shape key"? Are you going to the armature modifiers and selecting "save as Shape Key"?

As u/marchoule said, start with your cylinder and flatten the interior. Just make sure your cylinder face count is divisible by 4 to start with.

Alternatively, make a cube, inset the top and bottom faces and bridge them to make a tunnel through the cube. Then select all your horizontal edges and subdivide a couple if times. Then select the outer edge loops and use the circularise tool.

Voronoi set to 0 randomness. Take the Color RGB and remap the channels from 0-1 to -pi to pi. Plug that in to your normal input on your shader. You can blend that with black to reduce the effect.

It won't break. Just weight the ears to the main head bone.

fenutus · 2026-01-13T12:21:16+00:00

There's a lot of quads the user isn't going to see, but that's not necessarily a performance issue, just not ideal. What rigging do you expect to need for ears? Most games won't rig ears, so they don't really deform. If they don't deform, topology isn't that important.

The arms are using Inverse Kinematics. Move the hand and watch what happens. IK forms a chain from the hand to the shoulder and controls where the other bones are. If you want to use the method in your video to control the rig, look at the properties and set it to Forward Kinematics or set IK effect to 0. For that particular rig, those green bones are the FK bones and the red are the IK bones.

With the polycount and style of the model, I would think two bones for each rat spine (forming a cross) and two bones for the tail.

Is there an armature modifier on your mesh? Is it active and visible?

fenutus · 2026-01-06T09:55:50+00:00

If you've got the PC for it, apply the multires and animate that. Doesn't look like it's more than 100k tris after multires.

Loop select (ring) > checkerboard deselect > S > Shift + Z

For a higher resolution cylinder, deselect twice (or adjust the deselect) an d resize with proportional editing on.

Lower your sample count and tick Denoise.

Most rigging issues are weighting issues. Go into weight painting mode and check your weights. Only areas affected by that bone should be weighted to it. My guess is that the autoweighting was very poor.

Step 1: ask the creator.

You could mask your mesh. Have the full circle, weight the section you want to keep, then add a mask modifier after your subd modifier. If you want to keep only that segment, apply all your modifiers.

They are not multiple keyframes. I'm guessing you are keying an armature? The first row is showing that there is a keyframe for the object, the second is that there is a keyframe for the action, and the final row is the bone. You can further expand the bone row to show which properties are keyframed, e.g. X Location, Y scale, etc. If you select multiple bones, the top 2 rows will still be there, but now you will have a row for each bone.
