Intro - What's Bugging?


So, you're working on a project. But then it turns out that your project begins to glitch out or things turn weird.

Note: I am still searching for more tips and will fill up when I find more...Slowly. Help me fix my bad grammar, misspellings, and catch incorrect information.

Second Note: I specialize mostly with grease pencil and VSE. So, most of the tips here will cater to that.

Don't forget to:



Troubleshooting - Chapter 1
Pinky Keen



When parts of your project turns pink like this, it just means that Blender lost track of the file of that thing (like textures). In other words, ya have to find the file and relocate it for Blender.


All ya need to do is go to File, scroll down to External Data and click on Find Missing Files.

Blender will show a window and wants ya to relocate those files.

Tip: To make Blender 'remember' your files for your projects, so, ya won't have to search and re-link. Just click on Pack All In The Blend, this will put those project files into the "blend file", though this will make it [the blend file] stuff, like a turkey.

This is handy if you're planning to share the files or accessing the files from a different computer.

Second Tip: Keep your stuff in an organize manner, because, if ya put your files in 'story rich cave diving' deep...It will take Blender longer to find and get things back to normal.

Note:
This type of glitch usually happens, if you're moving between computers, resorting your files, moving the files, trying to restore the files or other similar methods.
Troubleshooters #2
Boos


Sometimes Blender or the Boolean modifier glitches, this usually occurs when trying to remove one object, but keeping the other one the same or trying to fuse two and more objects.

Method #1

Go to Boolean, and go to Solver. Then switch Exact to Fast.

Method #2

Go to Edit Mode, while in your cutter object and pick Face Editing. Next go to Mesh -> Normals -> Recalculate Outside. This will cause the Normals to flip outside and will allow the Boolean to show up.

Method #3

Press G, hold Shift, and move the model lightly. Until, the model fixes itself.

Note: Go to the references, which are YT vids, if ya are nervous about this chapter and think that I misintepert things.

Troubleshooting #3
Importing

Sometimes, importing the model doesn't appear in the Viewport and anywhere else for that matter. One of the ways to fix this is to press Delete on the numb pad/ the period button.
