#Particle Fur

[here-be-dragons-and-whatnot]

He has fur! Sort of!

I have hit my first serious barrier with Jar Full of Cosmos, and that is the fact that my little laptop just doesn't have enough compute power. Unfortunately it's too laggy to effectively experiment with materials and do a better job grooming--not to mention animation tests. Thankfully, I have new PC components on the way. In other good news, the fur system obscures pretty much all my bad mesh deformations. It also obscures his facial movements, but I planned for that and intend to do most of his emoting with ear and eye movements. Next time I make an animal, I think I'll use shapekeys instead of bones for facial animation.

The groom holds up from afar (and with lower resolutions) but up close it needs a lot more work. It's also worth noting that I am using the old particle system because the geometry nodes still feel too confusing, and apparently they can't be animated.

I have a really weird problem with blender hair particles and I still haven't found any other solution than using specific blender versions, which also creates difficulties because blender 4 and 3 have many differently working things and the files are not always compatible...

Okay, the problem:

For some mysterious reason hair symmetry & mirror doesn't work for all my models in many blender versions (so in almost all my models I combed both sides separately). If I try to mirror the fur or to use X symmetry in particle edit mode, it messes the fur up (even if it was already combed properly).

It works properly in 3.6 and 3.5, and also in some older version, because I remember I didn’t have this problem when I created the fur for the very first time. But then this problem began to haunt me and I'm desperate to fix it. Nothing helps and I have no idea why it depends on the blender version.

I asked my friend to test my models on different versions too and he confirmed that everything works the same for him, even on clean blender versions without any additional addons.

The model is 100% symmetrical.

And the most interesting!

After really a lot of tests I found out that this problem is most likely related to topology/faces/whatever else that my models has and hair mirror works properly if model is automatically remeshed (it also works on a completely new object such as sphere). Which is no way because it breaks the topology and everything.

It's still mysterious for me why it depends on the blender version though.

Does anyone know what this could be? What could influence this? I tried flipping the normals, delete everything including the UV map, nothing works. I googled it a lot and found no working solution.

prime looking-ass roughness maps today hee hoo

the most annoying thing is when you’re first learning how to do something and there’s this one step that everyone who’s been doing it for a while thinks is so obvious that they don’t need to explain it so every tutorial has this “draw the rest of the fucking owl” cut and you’re just sitting there like wait a second you did some things between those steps that you did Not mention

honestly i put too many details into snookie9 over here look at the fact their headphones are unplugged cause their ass is not listening look at the fact theyre uhhh apple headphones (im so funny) and the cookie and eveyrhting just look at them

also the snake, thats,, not subtle of me in any way

i couldnt resist drawing a lil 432 so. you get him too. my love. hes john-the-baptist themed (what if you wanted to prelude the main guy and do some cool stuff and be associated with commonly sacrifical animals but then you get wiped out the story like a loser) except hes no animal handling training so pls ignore how terrified the sheep seems

i would be too honestly

also this is the first time i think ive ever posted a proper drawing of him!! and this is what you get! wow thats memorable huh

[tearlessrainart]

it was done with an extremely basic rig for the sole purpose of messing with/testing particle hair dynamics (I still do not understand how particle hair works) but I'm weirdly proud of this little piaffe animation

because yeah the fathier model is still a thing

Hi again GSGSGSG could you do a Ranboo particle board?

This is such a good image of it /j

A lot of Purple, glitter, the rest is up to you :33

It has been a while since I posted something about the 3D work. I’ve been rather busy with work and other stuff, but I’ve made some slow progress with the fur. It took me a while to get the hang of it - as in; that I feel in control of what I’m doing. But I’m satisfied with the fur so far - at least for a first demo version. I have the following layers: down, awn, guard hairs, long guard hairs, very short fur (face, paws) and the whiskers. I still have to add some proper colour + hair reflection and maybe add some hair dynamics (gravity and/or wind) and then render it.

However...damn this is heavy on my computer. I’m using Blender’s ‘old’ particle system (just to have tried it) and it can take minutes to change from one layer to another or to look at the render preview. I’ve a heavy duty gaming laptop, but I seem to have ran into the limits of the system and I really need to train my patience.

Also - the details that I projected onto the simple mesh through normal mapping got lost. The fur sticks to the simple mesh and not to the detail illusion layer (which is the normal map). So I will have to take this into accoutn when modelling a demo v2.

I'm telling you guys, Blender is incredible these days. This is literally a skin modifier, simple UV paint job, some Mixamo mocap data, and a couple area lights. I remember spending HOURS in college trying to get reasonable renders of stuff for school deadlines and this was just... so dang easy (by comparison). Like, approaching Keyshot levels of easy. This is actually a whole animation, but it takes over an hour to render a single frame on this i5 integrated graphics laptop so no renders for me :c

I used the dynamic particle fur system, and I'm struggling to get the fur to look less clumpy. Regardless, this is a big upgrade from my rotating Suzanne.

hello I've decided to redo her paws, rig, and give her a mouth this is quickly becoming a model of theseus

and here are her paws, also she looks like a stupid loser gecko now

Ok I'm like halfway through the second season of breaking bad (no spoilers please) and like. I cannot stop entertaining the idea of an au where they secretly made like fursuits and shit. Bonus points if the furries are like incredibly over dramatized and still operate in the same way as drug lords.

circle number six is a brick pattern labeled throwing bricks. the bullet points are "you're my resource for all of the things happening in the world", "probably really punk or at least an Anarchist".

circle number seven is a red panda's facial fur pattern labeled red panda. the bullet points are "so soft", "very small", "you're so cute", "my favorite silly".

the tenth circle is a medium purple with a light purple heart in the center. it's labeled my favorite purple. the bullet points are "you're my favorite person on this hellsite", "why are you here, you're so nice", "are you a people pleaser".

the eleventh circle is a bright pink with pastel pink stars labeled barbie dream house. the bullet points are "nostalgia.", "do you live in the past I swear you do", "are those rose tinted glasses comfortable bub".

the final circle is a black color with a red blood splotch. it's labeled Gerard Way in the 2000s. the bullet points are "popular mutual", "I think you're pretty neat and also kind of scary", "probably really sweet but I'm still intimidated". /.End ID]
