[@kayleewoz]

It's such a joy to watch your videos. You would make a very good teacher/instructor/educator. This is coming from someone who has been a tertiary educator for 30 years. Keep up the great work!

THANK YOU my gosh it's so hard to rig pants in blender 😭

[@ravenousawolf2938]

Thank you so much Amber I'm been looking for some help in blender your videos helps me so much thank you with all my heart hugs

[@AskAmberOfficial]

You're so very welcome!

[@knittedwarbler]

Yay so happy you're back❤

[@AskAmberOfficial]

Thank you so much!!

[@Ayunaah]

super helpful! i was struggling with understanding the armature part before finding this video. definitely subscribed so i can learn more and save some time and frustration!

[@Makanoyasha]

top right has a mirror function if the vertices are mirrored, helps with doing edits. GL on guides.

[@AskAmberOfficial]

Yes this series does mention that function a lot it’s so helpful!! Thanks!!

[@bellyoscar2031]

did anyone know how to fing fix model or model panel? i cant find it on the side panel and the same cant find pose mode button .what should i do to after<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="560">9:20</a>? since i dont know where can apply a new amature of the shoes.

[@ScarlettxStarlett]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="597">9:57</a> I had a small issue. So The shoes I'm using are a pair of slip on shoes by sadi (at the end of the file, it said 0001 so idk if that's just the number for the asset or part of their name). But 1, the texture is really weird and I can't see the laces until I turn the model towards the side. Not only that, but after I did everything you said, the shoes didn't have the modifier that you said would automatically be there after clicking fix model, and they didn't stay to the model when I went into pose mode either.

[@ScarlettxStarlett]

I literally just started using blender like 2 days ago so I don't really know what to do here

[@swanoflove6833]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="579">9:39</a>, after following the steps the shoe is not stuck to the armature, might I ask what could have happened? I've been searching for probably 5 hours straight all over reddit and the internet as well as just messing with things in blender but I cannot figure out why this is happening

[@cameronelasan1363]

Can't get past <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="544">9:04</a>, for some reason the modifier completely disappears and even when I retrace my steps I can't seem to figure it out, I'm still currently trying to figure out blender so it could just be beginner level messups on my end.

[@hazukipadilla3854]

were you able to figure it out? having the same issue

[@BuxtonHouse]

Hey great tutorial, absolutely straight forward to understand. Im wondering though,with Verticies, Trist, Faces Count, what ones are important ect. I am asking this as you are putting sweats on and it seems like alot although as of yet you haven't said anything so its fine?

[@nayalyl]

how did you get that section where it has, import model, export model, fix model, and start pose mode??

[@Pathesis]

seriously thank u for these tutorials! however I have a question! I have an outfit I purchased that his a skirt with bones attached to a armature that does NOT match the armature of my current model. I'm not sure how to proceed with this, is it safe to merge the armatures?

[@777Purgatori]

I’d recommend to watch her video about clothing armatures. I’m pretty sure she advised to delete the other one and merge it to the base BUT since it’s a skirt I know it’s going to have its own skeleton that moves to maybe you’d keep that one? Good question though, I hope her clothing armature video helps!

[@blitzrigen]

What is thats "CATS" Thing on the that sidebar that holds the Fix Model Button?

[@aspecialkindofleaf]

I love you, platonically. Thank you so much!!!

[@user-ks3nh3hl4m]

do you have any tips for making tight clothing fit to a different body base than what it was purchased for? I know the common route is using elastic deform and doing it slowly but sometimes it really just messes up.

[@TakerOfBoxes]

The Fix Model button seems to have been removed in recent versions of CATS. What exactly does that button do and how can I replicate it or repeat this process in the newer version of CATS for Blender 4.3?

[@mikuzu.7410]

Js download older blender and download cats 0.14-0.19, any in between those should work fine.

[@mikuzu.7410]

download blender 2.6 or something older that supports cats

[@TakerOfBoxes]

NVM. There's an unofficial update to CATS that's handled by an offshoot group that works just the same. The recent versions have moved the Fix Model button to a new menu.

[@kitlaplante1228]

Question let's say you make a boob slider to make your avatars chest to have the opition to be flat do you have to make a blendshape on your tops to make the flat too for when you put a boob slider or no?

[@mikaylamillsaps9415]

what if the clothes/ hair still wont follow after doing this? or a finger lets say a pinky wont follow the rest of the hand after doing this?

[@AskAmberOfficial]

try clicking fix model a second time. that usually fixes it up

[@meeble7050]

@@AskAmberOfficial and if it doesnt? it still doesnt follow?

[@mikuzu.7410]

See my problem is my skirt I’m trying to add has pays ones. So when merging or fixing the model it just merges to the base model and I don’t see my physbone anymore

[@josemacasinag5734]

Is the process the same if I want the character to wear heels/pumps? Or do I also have to adjust the rig on the feet?

[@Maddy-n8b5x]

im stuck at the moment where i try to go into pose mode and i go to spread her legs apart but her pants dont follow her legs then stay in the default stance? how do i fix this ?

[@ChubbyDuck-q1t]

why does my have to look so diff i dont have that brush no where

[@Bankingup4]

can you make an updated version using the new blender, cause fix model is no longer an option

[@saeri3015]

and if i added bones to my shirt how can i do ?

[@Fumiko_VRC]

Been a long while but what if during making the armature the parent of like the shoes or a piece of clothing doesn't work? Like the whole thing doesn't go with it, just ig one piece?

[@swanoflove6833]

Have you been able to figure this out? I've been searching for several hours across everything as well as messing around in blender to no avail whatsoever

[@userbunny14]

cool weight painting wont work at all and now my character is stuck in this pose.

[@userbunny14]

HAHA on my shoes when I delete the armature of the shoes it deletes the shoes.

[@newoshiofficial1600]

tje weight painting isnt working for me like its not getting rid of any of that extra material?????

[@natasjabeaty]

i'll @ you if i find a way to fix it. Currently working on a model myself and I DID get rid of the extra material but unfortunately, the pants start clipping thru the legs if you weight paint too much. def frustrating asf. but again, ill lyk if i find a solution

[@Reyna-c5u]

I did the weight paint and when i move the body some of the materials on the shoes move with it. What did i do wrong?

[@BrinkHouse]

how do I then take the weight painted asset (say pants for example, and export JUST those along with their armature into Unity? Any special settings needed? Especially if the asset already has blendshapes and you want to keep those.. Thanks!

[@myooralsystem6102]

I know it's been some time, but I was wondering how you got the colors to show through on there? In my blender project only some of the clothing is actually colored (i just want a simple black color but it's showing as the same color as the body making it hard to sculpt)

[@nana_0822]

Make sure your meshes have materials on them. If they already do then you may need to turn on "material preview" It's the 3rd sphere/circle on the top right (above the CATS)

[@luci_1152]

So quick question how would this work with dresses?

[@hxneypxnk.mp4246]

yesss i just did it with a shirt, just a tip the smooth button was a life saver for me in sculpt mode! hope this helps

[@Vitria2293]

As someone who has no clue about anything Blender related... I really wish it was clear to have CATS installed into Blender before doing all that work. From what I can tell I just have to start the whole thing over now because I had no options like "Fix Avatar" or anything like that even after trying to install CATS and importing the model (that was already imported outside of CATS) it still didn't show.

[@diamondthompson8444]

Hi! So in the very first episode (as she did say this is 3 parts) she specifically says multiple times that you need cats- just fyi

[@nenenieves1976]

my avatar wont get out of the pose mode stance now

[@BeeVee-vd2nn]

Do you have any tutorials on not using CATS plugin? it always breaks my models and the inti files say there's errors even though I've fixed them

[@nana_0822]

What about the plugin breaks your model? I've heard that some people have had problems only when using the "fix model" feature. If that's the case, fix model isn't absolutely necessary to make a model

[@TaylorDiamondTurtle]

@@nana_0822 what do we do instead of fix model? like at 9:20 after she applies the modifier?

[@nana_0822]

@TaylorDiamondTurtle you don't do anything if ur model is set up correctly. If it's not, then you fix any issues. At 9:20, it seems that using fix model applied an armature modifier, but if you don't use fix model, then you would manually put on the armature modifier

[@samtezz7402]

I sculpted the body a little but as soon as I enter pose mode it changes. Any advice?

[@kumabear4105]

Make sure you are on the correct shape key and if youre editing a shape key its set to 1 otherwise you should be on the basis one

[@MistyRainss]

where do u get the base model+clothes ?

[@BeeVee-vd2nn]

the data transfer doesn't work!!!

[@nana_0822]

wdym by "didn't work"? did it not generate vertex groups or did it not weight paint or something else?

[@misaeldoesanimation4408]

​@@nana_0822 it didn't weight paint

[@5StarNasir]

After you clear the vertex groups and transfer the data, just drag the pants to the armature
