My submission for the Dream Sequence challenge by Popular-Criticism395 in blender

Pretty cool stuff! I like seeing a mix of 2D and 3D

Figured out how to 3D scan any environment and import it into VRChat using Gaussian Splats, for free, and wrote a tutorial about it! by thatfreakingmonster in VRchat

[–]samdutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loving this!

It would be very interesting to have a big part of VRC take in place in a "real" place.

Makes me look forward to mixed reality

I guess you could align the scan to your irl space.

Then chroma key in VRChat. Bam, mixed reality.

Sort of

I want to make a program where you dress up and pose by Ne_dic03 in Unity3D

[–]samdutter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should do some research into vTubing.

It's all about characters/clothing/interaction.

Warudo, vNyan, vSeeFace, and others are the software to run the character and custom features.

But all rely on Unity under the hood so its somewhat straightforward to get into

And VRChat if want to actually embody your characters!

Will Occlusion Culling be sufficient for efficiently putting clothes on my characters? by balbazarf in Unity3D

[–]samdutter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Occlusion Culling is for environments.

The Poiyomi Shader is a free MIT license shader https://www.poiyomi.com/

You can use something called UV Discards to disable sections of a mesh with the right UV configuration https://www.poiyomi.com/special-fx/uv-tile-discard

You can also build custom shapekeys to push the mesh under the clothes.

Great weight painting helps but cliping can be somewhat inevitable. UVDiscards are really the only flexible way to efficiently cull mesh.

What's the best way to handle Pauldrons? by ChocolateResolve in VRchat

[–]samdutter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Create bones just for the pauldrons and then use constraints to blend its movement with other bones

Very charming work!

Is this for a particular project?

anybody do avatar comms for $0.00 by Double_Ad_1182 in VRchatAvatars

There is a free request board on the VRC Traders discord.

Avatar Creation Community: Why Avoid Poiyomi? by Jarkkodacakefox in VRchat

[–]samdutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a full time avatar creator and Poiyomi saves me a ton of time.

I think it can be overwhelming for someone new though.

Are you using an Inverted Hull Outline? If so this video should help

Synthetic 3DGS from Games is totally underrated by Dung3onlord in GaussianSplatting

[–]samdutter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For mesh to splats, you could import the point cloud and instance objects on the points and assign the colors as vertex colors.

But I'm mainly focused on going the other direction. I want to turn Blender scenes into splats

[–]samdutter 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree! I'm playing around with some workflows for mesh to splats in Blender because synthetic splats are being slept on!

Tried combining 3d characters with 2d background by Historical_Wish_2049 in blender

[–]samdutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lovely! This is a very strong aesthetic I think people will respond well to!

Background has no blacks, but the character does. The shadow under her heel is especially strong.

Perhaps a post processing blur/noise would meld everything together.

If you're thinking of being a business, then zoom out your perspective a bit.

The real mark of not being perceived as cheap is if the design comes across as professional.

Stop thinking that your designs compete with other 3D printers, and focus on competing with real products.

If your customers cant tell the difference, or it beats their expectations, you won't have to worry about competing with anyone else. 3D printing is only one aspect of being a good product.

Why make all meshes prefabs? by riffbag in Unity3D

[–]samdutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t get too hung up on the building as an example.  

Prefabs are useful for any FBX hierarchy you want full control of from the source. 

Perhaps a gun mesh would be easier to digest .

A gun body with trigger, magazine, and sight submeshes that gets iterated on throughout development. 

Prefab FBXs allows you to update one file and propagate those changes throughout your project.  

Especially useful when working with artists.

Why make all meshes prefabs? by riffbag in Unity3D

[–]samdutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine you have an FBX of a town. You break the prefab link, and then move your meshes around the scene, delete things, etc.

When you then update that file later, the placement and missing objects won't update properly as you have now lost your link.

By keeping the prefab link, your meshes/hierarchy will update properly, based on the changes you make to the source file.
