• To display all UVs in Blender’s UV editor without requiring specific face or edge selection, you need to toggle the UV Sync Selection icon.

Adding Lineart in Blender. Seems to be somewhat not that straight forwrd.

1. Add Grease Pencil>Stroke. But it just sits there outside view.
2. Add Line Art modifier to that. Then do scene>then color>then black material. Then done na haha

in Blender retopo, how to add an object as the snapping option?

Also another weird option. is blender quad remesh is inside the mesh menu itself in blender. not like tool /comman > remesh

Then after that, you can use the shrinkwrap mod to make ti match more closely.

Another roundabout haha.
So to have color during retopo and in viewport shading. Not in the mesh color of where there is a view in front. Also not this in the material then bse color.

It has to be in base color. material then viewport. shading.

Geometry Nodes

Selection

• Select one of the mesh’s vertices, edges, or faces, and press Ctrl+L. All the elements. Like ctrl+ F
• Selecting loops: Place your cursor on top of an edge, press Alt, and right-click to select the whole loop.
• Selecting rings: Place your cursor on top of an edge, press Ctrl+Alt, and right-click to select the whole ring.
• Hold down Shift combined with either of these shortcuts to add to the selection.
• This technique works with vertices, edges, and faces, but in the case of faces, selecting a loop or a ring returns the same results.
• To quickly select a border, hold down Alt while you right-click the outer edges of the mesh twice.
• Limit Selection to Visible
• When you have the display mode in Wireframe (Z), you can select vertices, edges, or faces that are in front of the model, as well as those that are behind it.
• Select Similar
• After making a selection, pressing Shift+G shows different options depending on the type of element that you just selected.
• Select Boundary Loop and Loop Inner-Region
• You can find options for selecting the boundary loop and the loop inner region in the Select menu of the 3D View header and in the Edges menu (Ctrl+E).
• Parenting in Blender in Hieararchy? You can’t do it by drag and drop. You have to select them (last the parent) and hit Ctrl+P
• Grow/Shrink Selection Ctrl+Numpad + –
• Select Edge Ring Loops Ctrl +Alt LMB
• Alt + LMB = Loop select

Sculpting

• Hold F and LMB to adjust the file size.
• Shift F + LBM for the intensity.
• Control R to remesh.
• Shift R to reveal the remesh grid
• While masking, you can open the pie menu editor like A key to invert or sharpen the mask.
• Draw face sets to have those colored polygons and hit H key to hide and unhide. To continue drawing face sets on existing ones, hit control,.
• Ctrl W to expand face sets . Ctrl alt W to reduce the face sets.

Retopo

• Click Edge. Ctrl + RMB. Extrudes the edge.
• Double Tap G to slide around.
• can immediately drag points. normally without the need for f2. same with maya
• Grid fill.
• create separate points that is not connected. (i.e. Ctrl + RMB

UV

• Ctrl+ E Mark seam
• warp uvs - animated uv
• Select Island. (Select L)
• You can create your own UV map using the Mark Seams tool (Ctrl + E) and the Unwrap tool (U key), you can make use of the automatic unwrapping functions such as Lightmap Pack or Smart UV Project.
• I recommend unwrapping the UVs for the lightmap in Blender since the automatic UV mapper inside UE4 is too slow in some cases or doesn’t work at all.
• To view the UV maps, go to the object part, then there are UV maps.
• Option>Live Unwrap
• 3D Painting. Switch from Edit Mode to Paint Mode.
• Baking in blender. Create an image texture node. Select it. And Go the Scene>Bake
• Blender has projection painting. Quick Edit Apply
• The difference is that whereas one face in a 3D mesh typically is connected to another, faces in the UV space can be freed from their neighboring faces, so you can apply a different texture to a different part of the model, even though the parts may be adjacent in the 3D model.
• Lightmap Pack: This option is not recommended unless you want to create UVs in an automatic way, which can be useful for complex objects that don’t need to be very accurate

Animation Workflow

• In the graph editor. Hit T for interpolation. Step or not. It is V. or under the points.
• In the timeline window, hit M to add marker and contrl+M to rename the marker.

• Fluids. Check: Initial velocity of the smoke to carry over. To art direct.
• For a rigid body physics simulation extreme unapplied scale transforms can cause very noticeable strange results, such as unnaturally fast or slow rotations depending on if the object is scaled up or down:
• The resolution of the strands is controlled by the step values in particle settings. Each hair system uses the material identified in the particle settings.
• If you activate children, the parents are no longer rendered. This can be enabled in the Render panel Parent Particles. By default, parent particles are not rendered because the shape of the children can be quite different from that of their parents.
