THANK YOU!!!! when I saw that blob of a mess I thought I was doing it wrong!! LOLOLOLOL I looked for tutorials for hours none worked... finally decided to look up one specifically for Synty *Facepalm*
You know what's missing and it would be really cool if you did? A polygon pack of monsters, like dragons, giant spiders, worms, dire wolves, bats, and so many other types of fantastic and wild monsters. A new dungeon pack would also be nice.
This is a good tutorial! Amazing you guys did this one. I think these types of videos and the amazing assets you guys are making you will continue to be the number 1 go to for any low poly assets. I own almost all of your packs and just keep buying since you guys do quality stuff. This tutorials expand your consumers more since you teach how to edit to our needs. Good job,
In case if your armature keeps reseting on export and ruin rig - just delete animation frames if there are any. That'll help. Nice tutorial by the way :)
Awesome! What's hilarious is that I literally just yesterday finally broke down and picked up the "Character Enhancement" tool someone made for the various Polygon packs. It's certainly neat, but this opens things up a *little* more. Much appreciated! Keep up the amazing work!
@@syntystudios I'd like to see something centered around animations, especially around working with mixamo. I'm having trouble knowing how to handle the 3 fingered hands in some models and 4 boned fingers in others. It may be obvious but I'm so new to this, it's not to me lol
Character animation is a much trickier thing to tackle, but we'll take that feedback on board. Let us know if there's anything else you'd like to see also.
Any tutorials on how you guys set up the modular fantasy character material where you customize the difference parts would be great if every pack had a material set up that way instead making multiple different colors if one material can do it all
I'd love to see how to edit a building(building asset) and create a door and windows so you can move in and out of the building . Using your asset packs
@@syntystudios ah I'm currently using the city asset pack . I'm trying to basically cut a hole where the door should be in blender and the windows in a similar fashion . I could possibly just be missing something
Love your guys asset packs but really want to customize the characters further so its a bit higher poly and more detailed. Would love to also see a video on customizing in game characters like how cyberpunk does it. Load a baseline character and change the hair style, color, facial shape, etc. Does your assets allow for something like this?
I was playing with this the other day, but it's great to see an official Synty video on it! The armature looks a bit funny in your video. Any reason for that? Anything to worry about with them?
That's a good pickup, the character works as expected with no issues in Unity using a character controller. However it appears when you import the model in to blender, under Armature if you tick "Force Connect Children" the armature will appear correctly in Blender. Both the original from the video and the version using the method mentioned above function exactly the same in engine from my testing. Hope that helps :)
Is it possible to remove some polygons, for example, the entire upper character part, and save only legs? Will be animations plays correctly? I want to separate the clothes of characters so that in the game player can change clothes
While it's totally possible, anything beyond the basic in this video can get pretty technical/in-depth. I'd recommend jumping on our community Discord www.discord.gg/syntystudios - this can be a great resource for getting tips on things like this.
@@syntystudios So I've seen some other tutorials on setting up animations using mixamo and replacing the third person player (Lyra) with synty characters, but they seem way too long winded, I'm hoping you guys have a better, more efficient way to do this? Also I would love to see a tutorial on how to edit a synty character in blender to just keep the arms and setup a FPS game in UE5? Thanks very much
@synty studios I wish you could put more love in UE4/5 in general, like characters using default UE skeleton instead of let ALL users to retarget by their own. The UE community is growing everyday, and many unity devs even switch over, so you should not think UE as a side hustle anymore. Also the maps feels often like a "quick copy paste from unity", for example I tested the map with the teleporter from sci fi worlds, to see all effects has no template assigned to it, so they won't do anything.
Hey Guys can you help with how should I export the models from Unreal, to do these changes? It seems like I'm having some changes and losing/changing some details, for example I'm unable to run those changes on the mouth, if I get it from the "source files"pack it works fine.
If you're having issues with specific models from packs, reach out to us at support@syntystudios.com and let us know the pack/models and we'd be happy to update them to provide binary files.
Is there any way that you can do a tutorial on how to combine modular parts on the fantasy modular character in Blender? I am trying to join the torso with the upper right and left arms. Same thing with lower arms and hands, and legs and feet. It has too many skeletal meshes for my projects. For the equipment I need torso, hands, feet, legs, and head for the main equipment slots. So I am trying to combine some meshes. I bought the Skeletal Mesh Merger and it didn't work, it distorts the meshes. I've tried joining them in blender and exporting them in Blender but it thinks the character is a bone for some reason? I can't figure it out unfortunately.
If you ever come across fbx files you can't open (as they should all be binary), send through a support request to support@syntystudios.com and we can update the models for you.
Hey, is there a a fbx of a character "template" (no clothing etc) of sort I can get somewhere, I really like your style but don't want to exactly copy it
Our Gang Warfare pack has a male and female character in underwear that wouldn't need much modification to suit your needs. You can see them in the screenshots here: syntystore.com/products/polygon-gang-warfare-pack
I am having hard time understanding why you guys include all characters in a SINGLE file... It just doesn't make sense. Fix this crap and stop being lazy.
This generally makes things easier in game when swapping between characters. If you purchase on the Synty store, you should find our characters split out in to individual fbx files in our source files. If you have purchased through Unity, contact us at support@syntystudios.com with your invoice number requesting individual character files and we'd be happy to provide them to you for any packs you own.

This would be sweet. Would love some non humanoid enemies. :)
@@syntystudios YESSS, I would buy that pack on. the. spot. some unconventional creatures or even just the RPG classics like listed above

Cheers, Chris! As someone who is horrible at blender, this was real useful! ❤
Glad to hear, happy to hear it helped!
This is realy amazing, gives synty assets even more value. Could you guys make a video on how to animate a synty character in blender?

Any specific building/door you're looking at? Always open to suggestions on what the community wants to see :)
@@syntystudios ah I'm currently using the city asset pack . I'm trying to basically cut a hole where the door should be in blender and the windows in a similar fashion . I could possibly just be missing something
Thank you! Now I just need to figure out how to animate it (and make something afterwards with it :D) But this helped me A LOT
Happy to hear it helped. Let us know if there's anything else you'd like to see!
Awesome tutorial as usual!
Thanks. Happy to hear that feedback :)
Nice tutorial, I just keep having problems with animating my character once he's back in the game even though I didn't touch the armature in blender
Reach out to us at support@syntystudios.com and we can take a look at it for you.
I am amazed how u made characters i try to look on how u modeling thous characters plz

Thanks for the feedback. Not out of the box, like most character assets they'd require some additional work to use them like this.

I have an issue with the Farm Pack being FBX ASCII, are the newer packs FBX Binary? Blender wont let me import FBX ASCII.

Hey It got fixed! Thank you! Love all your packs! @@syntystudios
hey, how to animate vehicles from your pack. specially construction vehicles?
You can check out our animation video here, this should put you on the right track. ua-cam.com/video/78IrmMtByAU/v-deo.html
