must have been blind luck then

Yep. I had an avatar with a 3D spectroscope surrounding me in 5.3 a few months back. I used a baked animation I made in Blender for that
Of course, if we had scripting, that's something you can do in a few lines of Unity code, and it'd likely be more performant than an animation with thousands of keyframes.
and dynamic, too. But hey, whatever-- work with what you've got
viral verge
Animation might be a tad better 😛 since you are pulling data from audio
never made an animation instead tho, so not to sure
hell of a lot slower to make with animations tho, since you would need to redo it each time over just changing song
manic warren
how do i make an avatar float like the ones in the fairy forest?
autumn hatch
Move the hip bone up in the avatar config scene
manic warren
does that also move the "floor" up as well?
manic warren
what i mean by that is the white line
autumn hatch
But that's how you make a character hover anyways
manic warren
huh
autumn hatch
Likewise if you move it down, it sinks through the floor
autumn hatch
Good luck
manic warren
ill probs settle for some simple 1 frame anims to test with
which will be the weekend
i dont have time to do this during weekdays
where i have work 😦

Hello guys! Has anyone in here managed to make MMD imported models facial expressions work inside VRChat?
viral verge
look in #tutorials

For real? There is one in there? I guess I missed it, one sec

aight, gonna check it, thanks!
viral verge
whats hitting last build do?
Does it upload the build before last one uploaded?
or just reupload last
digital grove
it is suppose to take you to a test build world but it never works for me
viral verge
testbuild is above publish
digital grove
oh yea that is right idk what it does
viral verge
can't see a use for it is all, unless it downloads the last uploaded build
final wigeon
When you do any kind of build, it caches it.
That way if you do a local test build and it works all okay, you can just hit last build under publish and it won't have to recompile the whole thing and can skip straight to the upload section.

Got a vehicle set up in a VRC world but can't get it to move

runic mauve
need to make sure collider correctly on the wheel of the car if base on Physics
that how the script work on cars
faint zealot
Does anyone know if it’s possible to take a 360 pano in google earth to make it your skybox in unity
faint zealot
oo nvm we figured it out
kindred shadow
if anyone has a minute and any thoughts on the matter itd be much appreciated
no one can seem to figure this out
been trying for the past 2 days
slim apex
@kindred shadow in the standard shader for your legs, there should be a dropdown, change it from transparent to opaque.
In unity
slim apex
No such thing as a transparent polygon. Take a screenshot of the settings for the shader in unity.
kindred shadow
i know there isnt
its the matierial
that has the transparent issues
i know you're trying to help
but
the problem should be fixed in blender first
runic mauve
do you have any alpha on
slim apex
Forget blender. All blender does is create basic materials with basic shaders for you to modify later in unity.
kindred shadow
have you looked at the blender screenshot>
slim apex
I have
kindred shadow
the issues originates there when i make the material transparent
slim apex
The issue originates there, but it doesent have to be solved there.
runic mauve
why you use transparent shader?
slim apex
Way easier in unity. It's literally a dropdown that makes the shader ignore the alpha channel
kindred shadow
because im makinga translucent avatar
hmm on the standard shader?
unfortunately i dont have access to unity at this very moment
but i know most of the shaders by terminology
runic mauve
do you want to be glass translucent?
runic mauve
oh slime i think there person who has a slim type shader
he post slime type avata
r
kindred shadow
that would be helpful
i have a slime texture that im gonna be using with diffuse and normal maps made from it as well
kindred shadow
ah right
viral verge
Slimes
runic mauve
so how you make that shader
kindred shadow
that would be perfect
viral verge
the wobble or colour part?
runic mauve
guess made in shaderforge
viral verge
runic mauve
still need figure that out lol
runic mauve
shaderforge
viral verge
^
runic mauve
he just give you the bluepirnt lol
kindred shadow
and you can use shaders made there in unity?
kindred shadow
and shaderforge is paid or free?
viral verge
it's the same kind of thing that playmaker is
runic mauve
it pay
kindred shadow
welp
kindred shadow
i dont think i wana pay for it just to get a single shader
id pay someone who has it
a small fee
to make ti for me
viral verge
if you want to use unity for more then just this game it's almost a must 😛
kindred shadow
yeah i can imagine
but im not really at that stage just yet
so can anyone scratch my back and i'll scratch theres?
viral verge
that shaders not done yet sorry 😛
kindred shadow
and my dream of slime girl moves a little further away again
viral verge
Have you got the model done and working?
kindred shadow
still need to do a little sculpting and sort out that alpha issue
but im just using a miku TDA base
as the start point
so you coudl test it on one of those
viral verge
Not going to set you back to much then 😛 need to get that model made first
kindred shadow
fair enough
brisk cedar
if any one has any experiance animating textures or materials. heres my issue. basically the anime works perfectly in unity but not vrchat ;-; https://youtu.be/dbi7gpQSATY i think is close enough tech wise to count as advanced
crude schooner
i have similar shader made
@brisk cedar if u fall to the ground u are missing keys for hips legs and arms
in animator
brisk cedar
Nah i just didnt set a pose for the animation. Im more worried bout the hair not changibg color like it did in the preview
halcyon bolt
@kindred shadow About the slime shader, I'm busy atm, but I might look into it in the future, so keep working on that model!
My slime avatar is not a good example, though.
I was trying it on a sphere, before making a model, too. But then I ended up making stuff that works only on a sphere. It looks ok, but it's not very flexible
I'll try to make a better shader this time
brisk cedar
Yes basically. Theres a animation function called material text something and it lets you adjust the off set for the texture.
old bridge
So...shader lab is paid asset in Unity?
brisk cedar
Yeah ;-;
old bridge
😓 well..the same tool is free in UE4 though. So its kinda strange
brisk cedar
Dude. No offense cause this community is awesome and easy to start in but... UE4 is like amazing
old bridge
Yeah, agree. But it really lacks in terms of tutorials and documentation...so basically you just don't know what to do. And this C# scripting where you cana attach several scripts to add different behaviour to objects is just really far easier and intuitive compared to that object oriented approach in UE
halcyon bolt
he is thinking about buying it
https://lastfm-img2.akamaized.net/i/u/ar0/4396c55d963640f3b81ef027e2748fb7.jpg
brisk cedar
Mmm true tho bluprints is still nice with ue4 they both have strengths and weaknesses
final wigeon
In my (totally inexperienced) experience I've found Unity quicker and easier to get into than UE4, but UE4 has some seriously crazy stuff built into it out of the box, unlike unity.
old bridge
@brisk cedar blueprints are just for small tasks and they get ugly with complex tasks. I prefer programing. And you really need to do some programming for any nontrivial task after all
brisk cedar
^agreed
kindred shadow
ah thanks @halcyon bolt
brisk cedar
Ive realized over the pass 3 days @disco#8981 @old bridge @halcyon bolt @runic mauve and me are here the most XD
old bridge
@final wigeon yeah. That's why I tried to used it for my game attempts. Well...It was so painful even though I may call myself C++ programmer. In the end after several weeks of documentation lurking I were absolutely frustrated and abandoned it. Even though other aspect of engine are simply amazing. Foliage system...reach terrain editor and overall performance an graphics quality
kindred shadow
i got asked if i ever sleep yesterday -_-
brisk cedar
Do u
kindred shadow
yes
halcyon bolt
All the tools that UE4 has are really nice, but they're also what makes its learning curve way steeper than Unity's
It's like picking a random kid, putting him at a workshop, and telling him to build something.
First, he'll need to learn what all those tools are for.
However, if you only give some glue, cords, and wood instead, he'll probably build something shittier, but a lot easier for a first time
brisk cedar
LIES
Also perfect analogy. Except i would use the term power tools. Cause there more complex
old bridge
@halcyon bolt basically its perfect if you just use standard assets. Like character movement controller. But if you need to make something custom....you basically become permanent "how do you make custom avatar" VRchatter
final wigeon
As someone who comes more from the creative side of things, not having to faff around with 3rd party plugins for basic visual stuff is what makes me prefer UE, as long as I either have someone to do the coding, or spend time figuring out how to do it with BP.
old bridge
Yeah...I believe UE4 is primarily for experienced (in UE) game studious, and Unity is for anyone else
halcyon bolt
also, UE4 has you locked into deferred PBR shit. You can't do as much custom shading stuff as in Unity
kindred shadow
can anyone explain this please
i placed teh vertice on the left
but the mirror is clearly placing it way off on the other side
halcyon bolt
is it symmetric?
kindred shadow
the image, the mirror or?
halcyon bolt
nvm, I just realized where the vert is
maybe some previous transformation is fucking up the symmetry
Try exporting as say, fbx, reimport, and see if it still happens
if it does, it's a blender issue. Otherwise, it's the model
kindred shadow
ive not applied any transformations
and the hair model that i rendered the image of is at 0 posistion
herpa derp

does anyone here use vulkan with unity? i'm picking up my new ryzen card today, first time using amd, and although it sounds like more multithreaded options are coming with unity 2017 for now i read that with vulkan instead of direcx12 we can see a performance boost. but i'm not sure if that's with the editor or just the actual build of a game.
all the info on this online seems to come from the initial press release
harsh bay
how do you launch multiple instances of vrchat? (for world testing purposes)
autumn hatch
Through the .exe, I guess
harsh bay
ahh
viral verge
When ever two user controlled things collide 1 takes full control over the others scripts and i can't work out why
Also audio is not following a moving object and is centered off at a random spot
runic mauve
@viral verge turn off allow collision transfer
viral verge
oooo
viral verge
i was reading it as only "allow collision" x.x so i did not give it a 2nd look
Did yo work out how to get audio to follow an object right? do i need to take ownship of the audio source
runic mauve
i think you need to make animation to turn the volume down
then turn it back up
like have volume set to 0 then use animation to turn it back on
then make animation put 0 when they exit the car
viral verge
So it's a bug with volume ? and i need to reset it each time
runic mauve
volume like play even if it disable componet i dont know why
but change volume only effect it
that how mimi told me how she did it
viral verge
Will give it a shot
harsh bay
so i'm having sync issues with this. The randomizer is synced when alone on an object, but when in this case in the custom trigger it's not the same for everyone
any idea what might cause this or any workarounds?
runic mauve
@harsh bay did you try set to local
harsh bay
let me try that
stuck bobcat
For anyone curious about if there is a way to make Pickups not movable in game, I could not find a way to do that (constraining the axis was ignored). I ended up abandoning my idea to use the OnPickup / OnDrop triggers and used OnEnterTrigger/OnExitTrigger instead. This means that for my cooperative level, I'm using pressure pads (e.g. enter/exit triggers) rather than buttons.
If anyone DOES find a way to create a pickup that you can interact with (pick up / drop ) but not actually move, I'd love to know!
blissful walrus
@runic mauve @viral verge the animation changes the pitch not volume btw. 0 pitch for off
runic mauve
ok
viral verge
So that needs to be set to 0 to make it follow the object o.O? still an odd workaround
harsh bay
hmm no that didn't work jaz
blissful walrus
@stuck bobcat why do you need a pickup that can't move?
harsh bay
laozi what are you trying to achieve with the pickup not moving?
blissful walrus
There is a new trigger to give ownership of that's why
stuck bobcat
I'm creating a cooperative map where two players work together to bypass obstacles. The initial idea was to have one player click a switch and hold it to extend a bridge, for example. Upon releasing the trigger, the bridge would go away.
blissful walrus
Sendrpc, take ownership
stuck bobcat
The triggers OnPickup / OnDrop were ideal for that, since you get a Trigger both upon clicking the object and upon ceasing to click it
blissful walrus
Ah
stuck bobcat
Unfortunately we have an OnInteract, but not a "StopInteract"
blissful walrus
Yeah i really wanted a hold switch. I have a canny up for they
stuck bobcat
So to get the same effect (you are stuck in place to extend the bridge, and it goes away when you move) I used OnEnterTrigger/OnExitTrigger for the same type of gameplay.
blissful walrus
That*
stuck bobcat
Yup! A "hold switch" would be ideal
harsh bay
ahh
blissful walrus
It's called "on trigger down/on trigger up" or something, can't find it atm
But upvote it if you see it
Buut
stuck bobcat
I've seen the OnTriggerDown/Up, but I believe those only apply to pickups
Oh you mean your canny item
Got it!
blissful walrus
On hold and on drop should work
stuck bobcat
Maybe we'll get something like that in the scripting beta, or the ability to create it?
blissful walrus
So you know if the new teleport to rpc?
stuck bobcat
I've not used it.
stuck bobcat
Yeah, I do have an idea for a puzzle where you use the OnPickup/OnDrop in the form of a cooperative teleport sequence
runic mauve
need trigger let you teleport item with you
stuck bobcat
Basically I'm going to do something similar to CharlieTree's apple thing, where you pick up the object to teleport past a wall (taking it with you) then have to throw the pickup back over the wall for your friend.
If you do a teleport OnPickup, the object goes with you
Doesn't it?
blissful walrus
I mean you can make a psudo non movable pickup by putting the trigger on a box that will teleport it back if you pull it away from where it is
Also you can try to use joints
runic mauve
i mean like if you drive a car into teleport the car as well
blissful walrus
Attach the button to a joint
The new teleport rpc teleports the object to a reference object, usually an empty
blissful walrus
But try joints. I've seen a door I could not in any way pull off the wall, i tried quite a bit
It was a pickup attached to the hinges with joints
stuck bobcat
I think for now I'm going to stick with the pressure pads, since I have that working. But I'll keep the joint thing in mind for the future!
runic mauve
look like just need locked everything place when add vrc pickup
with joints componet
@blissful walrus do you know change out the wheel on car when i change them out the wheel wont move but in prefab version wheel it does
blissful walrus
Oh i didn't think of that or even notice the original one did
harsh nest
@blissful walrus I've seen the physical door knob too, but when I just tried with spring joint it didn't work :c
blissful walrus
Maybe hinge joint?
dull umbra
@kindred shadow I've thrown together a simple slime shader, but it uses a grab pass to make distortion effects. Last I checked grab passes don't work in VR, so it may or may not work for your needs.
median viper
Gem shader from the asset store on an organic shape often looks like slime
Try that if that shader doesn't work👍
harsh nest
@blissful walrus I didn't manage to make VRC_Pickup stay in place with any kind of joint, however I used hinge and configurable joint to make a physical door with invisible pickable knob
zinc basalt
question: I have a key and a door
and i want the key to disappear when it's touching the door collider and the user is pressing the interaction button
the key is working, I have OnPickup + OnDrop as a normal interactive object
the door has OnPickupUseUp with an action SetComponentActive = false where I attached the key object
but is not working
basically the question would be.... how can i make an object disappear when collides with another one?
runic mauve
I think need destory it self to make dispear after touch collider
zinc basalt
yes
but how?
i think OnInteract in the door makes the key disappear
but in that way you could make the key disappear just touching the door without having the key
the logic would be:
IF > user have key > AND > key is colliding with door > AND > user press Trigger button > THEN > SetComponentActive of key = false
runic mauve
Make empty then make door open
Custom trigger
Open the door and it destory empty
Need invisible layer
Don't put destory the door slef
Make emptyfor that
runic mauve
Do.you know what empty.is?
It game obj you make layer over the door
With box colliders in it
It destory that instead of the door
When then.thing come together
zinc basalt
do you mean an emptyObject? yes of course
runic mauve
You you that for detach
Just make.custom triggered with door animation
So when key hit that collider turn on custom animation triggered
Destory key
It easy way.
runic mauve
Because not many shared info world make r
I think just.make trigger video
Show how to do it

I've attached a cube to my dynamic bones in such way like it stays behind me on a chain. Then I added some dynamic bone colliders for that. Everything looks good for me, but apparently everyone in VRChat sees just a local version of that cube, so it is in different positions for everyone. Any ideas on what causes it?
I didn't parent that "chain" to character's bones in Blender though so I have 2 root bones. May it cause such an issue?

Here's something I know someone told me, but I can't remember now. I'm using OnEnterTrigger / OnExitTrigger with players. I'd like the OnExitTrigger to fire ONLY once all players have left.

Does anyone recall how to do that?

@viral verge you mean physics are local for everyone? So if I use dynamic bones, everyone will see different bones behaviour?
runic mauve
desktop mode client lttle buggy with the dyanmic bones and when your in VR it fine
old bridge
So guys with VR should see what I see?
Well...I have an interesting concept of "pet" which follows you and you can also interact with it (like pick up from ground with your hands). I got it working, but people said that they saw this "pet" in a different places that's why I asked this
viral verge
Then it is probs Local physics
old bridge
What a bummer then 😔
viral verge
Could cheat it 😛
When you pick it up, hide it and spawn one in your hand
That way if you are slightly off for people it will still work

did y ou put obj sync on it
old bridge
It looses all the point then...😔 and unfortunately hand gestures don't work for me since I use PS Move controllers
Its a part of avatar

oh ok

I think its really funny idea, but looks like it won't work
viral verge
Still worth a shot, no clue how much of the sdk can be used on the avatar
old bridge
@viral verge besides people see it in different places even of if its till on the ground
viral verge
ObjectSync could fix that if it works
old bridge
Looks like when they see it for the first time, it just appears in default position for them
ObjectSync is for worlds, isn't it?
viral verge
No clue, seen some of the sdk used on avatars that i did not know could
so give it a shot

Well...I'll try at least
runic mauve
wait you can use 3 person script on avatar?
viral verge
try everythins :p
@runic mauve Have you messed with having passengers?
Noticed if you take control of something it boots people out of the station
runic mauve
only make the button work when you sit the driver set
just add regluar chair
to it tell no one hit controller
when there in the car lol
viral verge
Made it so only 1 person can trigger start then the button turns off
so that should not be a biggish problem
runic mauve
you dont need put ownership the other chair just need regluar chair setting

will give it a shot when i'm done ty 😛
Going to take me a bit to reoutfit my gocarts with my updated car base >~<

sweet crystal
I made an animation for my avatar, but it makes them sink into the ground when I play it. What do I do?
runic mauve
need to make dublicate before make animation for avatar
sweet crystal
They're just intended as facial animations
But when I go into animation mode the duplicate gets forced into that weird pose
runic mauve
that normal for the dublicate
reason why we make dublicate in the first place
dublicate take the muscle animation effect when you try make animation humaniod
sweet crystal
How do I fix that?
sweet crystal
I did not
I made the animation on the duplicate and then put a custom overlay on my main avatar with the animations I made
runic mauve
then you did somthing wrong because only does that if you use animation on your main model first
if you did that you have to start over
sweet crystal
Well, what did I do wrong?
runic mauve
when you make animation never use animation on main avatar only do all the animation 2nd clone avatar
then you use animation file you make on your main
sweet crystal
How does that avoid the main avatar getting shoved into the ground when I do an animation?
runic mauve
i told you how i guess you did on your first but not accpet my answser lol
i see alot with people dont understand animation at all i did before that how i figure out problem
start out clean because i have feel you did tempet make animation on your main before look at info tell make dupilcate first
bend in werid pose
wont effect that
it big sign to anyone who does override animation
sweet crystal
Wouldn't it be bent in the editor?
runic mauve
not on your main avatar
it bend because how animation setup humaniod. put if you going make any dance type animation better off make animation blender
only thing you can do in that form add weapon particle effect
and move finger
on the model
animation dont over write pose if not set in the animation only time it does if you use main to make animation
watch morgus video and read evoleant document it very well tell
you about that
sweet crystal
Well, I didn't use the main to make the animation.
sweet crystal
T pose
runic mauve
then add animation file to animation overridde only change your blendshape and finger movment
if you did it right
sweet crystal
It sounds like your information is wrong, then
runic mauve
well good luck dont listen no help lol
sweet crystal
You're the one who's not listening. Where's that documentation on it?
runic mauve
WARNING: The red record button on the animation window is usually enabled, be careful as editing your avatar such as moving it, changing a property, etc, will cause that action to be recorded on the animation timeline. (Can be fixed by deleting the property.) If you need to make a change unrelated to the animation you want, first disable the red record button. Be aware this button re-enables itself as soon as you mess with the timeline.
even the pic show this
TIP: There is a cheap asset in the asset store called Muscle Animation Editor that can make this process incredibly easy, as it allows you to edit the muscles within the scene view itself and then make the proper adjustments on the timeline, this asset can be the difference between spending 30 mins recreating hand gestures to go along with your facial animation for each replacement, and spending 5 minutes doing the same. You can also easily create new sleep animations and other things in an hour that could take all day otherwise.
sweet crystal
I noticed that
sweet crystal
Emotes?
runic mauve
emote only be 10 sec
sweet crystal
What about idle animations?
runic mauve
if you try to do full animation you need use asset plugin i post up there
that make alot eaiser to get avatar standing pose
sweet crystal
I'll try doing whole animations later, but right now I just want to get closing my eyes working
sweet crystal
And the truth comes out
runic mauve
well didnt say emote
there regluar vr animation
most people have problem understand only do the fingure
emote is total different thing
it longer processed
better off make blender
sweet crystal
How do I add gestures? All I saw were emotes
runic mauve
you have to make full body animation for emote
cant be only one thing
because it actally switch out humaniod IK
for 10 sec
VR animation is easier because you have control of the body
with your own body
emote need know when you stand in place
sweet crystal
I just want to know how to turn these into gestures
runic mauve
i told you need make full body animation with eye genseture it longer process
not like make only blink animation
you actally need make your avatar stand
sweet crystal
I find you very hard to understand
runic mauve
asset app will do that
just watch video show how to make animation with it
^^^^^ this only easy way
cost $15
sweet crystal
I'll need a second opinion on that
runic mauve
emote full body animation, Gensture finger and blink animation and particle and summon weapon
idle is fullbody animation
dull thunder
@sweet crystal you fixed avatar sink into the ground while emote playing?
sweet crystal
Nope
dull thunder
I'm have same problem
I'm animate ONLY ON DUPLICATE
But its not work
Viewed all tutorials, doing same
But nothing
what we need to do 😭
@runic mauve can yo help? I'm animate only duplicate, but it still doesnt work.
@sweet crystal you doing same, right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-14-xeG8cA&feature=youtu.be
Its my problem :C
sweet crystal
So what I'm getting now that he didn't explain is that "gestures" are the animations applied based on your finger positions
I was kind of hoping there'd be a simpler way of adding face animation
merry nacelle
There's time-based animations, like eye blinking, and then I think you can do emote overrides as well maybe?
sweet crystal
I can't get time-based animations to work, so far
merry nacelle
sweet crystal
After all the useless videos I've seen, I'd rather have a written guide

Hi. I just started doing animation for my model and my animator script stopped working all of a sudden. Can anyone tell me why this happens and how to fix it?

I'm trying to combine OnEnterTrigger
https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/onentertrigger
With AudioTrigger
https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/audiotrigger
But is not working. I just want to trigger a sound when a pickup object collide with another object.
The key is the pickup object (it is already using the pickup layer) and the door has an OnEnterTrigger where only the pickup layers can trigger the AudioTrigger action, which has an audio source as a receiver and the Clip selected.
The audio source is working perfectly alone when i turn on "play on awake" so, as far as i know the audio source should be playing with the audio trigger as well.
Anyone?
runic mauve
@zinc basalt you would need this if you want to be like the pug PhysSounds
cost $10
runic mauve
@ornate pine you can have music play with audio source
or unity player
he want a physsound collider type thing when you hit each other put it down it make nosie
that what owlboy use for his pug cups
ornate pine
ah ok
zinc basalt
thanks but......
if there's a component that allows you to trigger sounds, i don't see the point of buying extra assets
i mean, the component is there
if this doesn't work, why is this in the documentation? why are they confusing devs like me so much? if this doesn't work it would be nice to read something like "DON'T USE THIS, IT'S DEPRECATED" or whatever. I totally believe in a community based project where everyone make this grow every time someone upload something to VRChat, but i see this as a huge problem and really make me want to quit all this :/
runic mauve
@zinc basalt audio trigger just make nose that it when you intract with it
it keep make thatn ose
nose none stop
runic mauve
yea noise
but if you want collider base noise
need use script
that only script work in vrchat
zinc basalt
you can't use script in vrchat, i would LOVE to use script, but you can't
the point is
what is this for then?
zinc basalt
i just want an admin/dev or someone who could confirm this https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/audiotrigger is not working so i can move on
runic mauve
this how use it
need make game obj with a audio source
in it
give the info. i know and people told me what use for collider base sound
going tell the same. but world building very lack info because they dont make guide for it
so people who figure stuff out should share info
avatar was like for while till me and tupper change that
zinc basalt
communities and companies are not always the same if you know what i mean
this is the pickup obj
and this is the obj that you could collide with the pickup obj and which should be triggering the audio
zinc basalt
I also tried just using SetComponentActive and the enabling the AudioSource (true) when the pickup obj enters the other obj (OnEnterTrigger) but doesn't work.
In editor is working ok when i collide both objects manually.
zinc basalt
I also tried making an animation that triggers the audioSource component using PlayAnimation in one OnEnterTrigger, but is not working. The weird thing is that the other PlayAnimation i have (CubeUp 1) is playing perfectly OnEnterTrigger, so I definitely think this is related with the audio obj
pale violet
i have a working web panel, kind of, but in-world it's about the size of a laptop screen and it's tough to interact with. do these screens need to be a lot larger?

Does anyone know how I could make a texture flip like how it does in this gif?
Or how to make it scroll like this one
warm niche
Oh yeah, he had that one that scrolls from bottom to top.
runic mauve
he would know how to do other way to
sweet crystal
What about a flat surface with the texture offset in the material animated?
You'd then need texture maps made to have the strip of ads you had in mind
autumn hatch
Scrolling UV shader?
sweet crystal
Yeah
brisk cedar
@warm niche if u figure that out let me know it would help me with an animation im trying to fix
harsh nest
@warm niche That grid is bunch of triangular blocks that rotate, probably alot of work to animate. The sliding it easier, you can just make shader for that, maybe a tall texture that changes it's offset based on inbuilt _Time
sturdy lynx
are emotes only usable with vr controllers ?
warm niche
Rotating cubes.
Cut the picture up into small long strips and put each one onto a side of the cube. Make sure there are no colliders. You could do simple rotation with Constant force, or you could animate it.
warm niche
I'll be doing the square flip because it's easier to animate. As Tiger and Neitri said, multiple different blocks that just rotates.
wary epoch
this is my audio setup, but i barely hear anything ingame, am i doing anything wrong? its work just fine in unity
harsh bay
you can use a time and sin node going into a lerp that changes between two uv states.
or have a value that you animate that goes into the lerp
autumn hatch
ONSP component doesn't use the custom rolloff. Minimum range is the distance you will hear it at max volume, and since it's set to zero you will never hear it play at max
To be honest I know very little about it but try disabling the oculus attenuation
sterile cipher
I think it might behoove us all (users and teachers both) to make up a bunch of "preset" audio setting screenshots for various effects. "Long range, spacilized", "short range, spacilized", "long range, unspacalized" etc
then more generic ones like "music" or "gunfire" or etc.
autumn hatch
That would certainly help me
sterile cipher
I might explore and make those screenshots when I get home on Tuesday.
yet another item to add to the videos TODO
autumn hatch
Also the reason it works fine in unity is because the onsp script isn't running in the editor

How would I create a prize wheel in Unity. A basic numbers one, which would go on a wall?

do you mean the spinning ones?
?
i would probably mess around with making it pickuable, but attached to some sort of joint that locks all axis except for spinning in one
pale violet
@zinc basalt oh thanks i hadn't read that web panels aren't working at all atm. sure would be a great feature to have so hopefully they keep at it.
final wigeon
@fading pollen Scaling issue, probably. Add a default unity cube into the scene. That cube is... I think 1m on each edge?
If it turns out your avatar is HUGE then you might want to modify the scaling when exporting.
Changing the number of vertexes of a mesh when you've got shape keys can have varying results in blender.
Yeah. Changing the vertex order on a mesh with shape keys can do that. It's why you can't apply most modifiers to a mesh with them already on.
Even to vertexes you haven't touched. If they're part of the same object they can be affected.
pastel notch
Does anyone know what went wrong with this?
final wigeon
Without seeing more of the rig in blender, couldn't really say. Also a question better suited for #avatars-2-general
brisk cedar
@pastel notch it looks like u havent weight painted the finger tips
https://youtu.be/mhQY2_gVoVg heres a vid that might help
autumn hatch
@pastel notch Third fingerbones's rest position is at a weird angle. Unassign the last bones on the fingers, click on the pose button, reset pose and enforce t-pose. Think that should fix it
pastel notch
@autumn hatch You're my hero
autumn hatch
Tips fedora

@autumn hatch Should I reasign them after, or leave them unassigned?
autumn hatch
Leave them unassigned
Otherwise bent fingers will happen
Doubt the hand gestures will be too much different with just two bones
remote chasm
Anyone know more about custom controllers for vrchat?
Would a custom driver with steamvr (For example a custom hand controller) be accepted by VR chat?
I talked about this yesterday to someone on VRchat and he said he wasn't suer but he said if bones would match the names of the defined bones it would just work??
since I assume there is a standard in the naming of bones

ok so i got my gesture to work my hair becomes bigger. I have it set to thumbs up and it works Instantly. only issue is if i try to change to any other gesture even just a normal hand it sloooooowwlly starts to shrink. I do have this animated using blend shapes. is there some setting i need to adjust where it doest take forever to shink back down?

@harsh bay I'll stick with a dice

Oh, my problem was entirely my own fault. Nevermind!

@remote chasm I use PS move controllers which emulates oculus touch...so basically you need your custom controllers to emulate either touch of vice wands
warm niche
In blender, how can you put a shape as default so that it stays with that particular face?

Have anyone tested out how tiny dynamic props behave in unity?
old bridge
so I've tried everything I could come up with, but couldn't do a magic trick like this one on a pic
basically there's avatar with cat and its house
and (seems like) the cat can move freely while its house is stationary
any ideas on that?
autumn hatch
You parent a particle system with a mesh particle (the house) to the avatar and set it to worldscale and a long lifetime
autumn hatch
Has SetMeshVisibility been removed from the SDK? @sudden smelt
It exists in the SDK example actions but cannot set it myself
warm niche
Not sure if I should post this in #avatars-2-general or here so.. i'll post in both.
How do I remove this image in blender? I can't select it.
autumn hatch
Select the mesh and go to edit mode. Highlight the faces the texture is on, then on the UV window you got up on your left press the X button on the lower menu row near the bottom @warm niche
warm niche
I just dragged and drop it in the plane so it's not on any mesh.
autumn hatch
What do you mean? Is the picture a background image?
warm niche
Background image, yes.
autumn hatch
If you scroll down the menu left to the hierarchy you should see options for background images
Untick the active box
warm niche
:/ There's nothing here.
What I did was in a new project, I deleted everything and dropped this image in.
autumn hatch
warm niche
Oooooh, thank you.

@autumn hatch Not sure, it may have been replaced with SetComponentActive which basically does the same thing

kindred shadow
Can anyone recommend some shaders for unity that you would consider "must haves"
old bridge
You mean besides Cubedes' ?
old bridge
Then no
kindred shadow
im not talking just for VRchat though
just shaders that would be good for general use
or ones that people find themselves regularly reaching for
paid or free, not fussed
old bridge
I see. Well, standard shader is pretty good I think. Since it's physically based and stuff. They made it "standard" not without a reason. This one along with mobile->diffuse were almost the only shaders I used for my small projects back then. But yeah, I'm not any pro in shaders, you know 😅 So I guess you just need to search for some fancy shader if you have an exact idea on how something should look or just wanna something cool. Other than that I'd stick to standard one or less expensive ones
kindred shadow
i'd like to find something that can actually do transparency properly at some point
but i'll bear in mind what you've said
old bridge
Can't the standard one do that though?
sweet crystal
Transparency is not an easy problem to solve
Though, I'd like to make a version of the standard shader with transparency through dithering
Someone made one but it's from 2016 and doesn't support some stuff
brisk cedar
So ive got a particle effect working on an emote and in unity it fires from my hand the way my hand is facing. But in vr chat it fire from my chest . ny way to fix?

I fixed it kinda. I just rotated the direction of the particle and moved along a different axis

Hey guys, I got my animation override working so an object appears in my hand. But when I move my avatar it dissapears, is there a way to keep it in my hand as I move? Thanks in advance.
rough sleet
@sweet crystal You're using alpha clip/test not alpha blending for that and using noise to make the transition less sharp?
I might have to try that on my avatar as it might actually look nicer than using alpha blending since using that requires me to leave back face culling enabled to avoid triangle sorting issues.
stuck bobcat
seeing a weird thing where avatars on an avatar panel are totally black. Not sure why. Wasn't the case with another avatar
Is there something I need to set up on the avatar panel?
Or something I need to do to the room, other than lighting it?
(using baked lights currently)
warm niche
This seems to be the best way to set up a click-to-activate Portal while keeping the same visuals? Portal is surrounded by 3 solid box colliders. One of the solid box colliders has an interact trigger which teleports the player inside of the portal.
I tried using a solid collider that was inside the portals collider but it didn't work.
Oh, i've got an idea. Hold on.
sweet crystal
@rough sleet Yeah. I'll post it if you want, the only problem is that I used shader forge so it's missing some options from the Standard shader
rough sleet
That'd be nice. I'll probably end up using the technique in my own shader so that's fine.

Awesome work Squid!
Btw, if i pressed a button that triggered an animation on a chair that then moved through a floor with a collider on it, what would happen to the person sitting on the chair? Would they also move through the floor? If that animation then brought the chair through a vrchat portal, would the user be portaled or still on the chair?
weary mica
Anyone know how hard it is to transfer a Unreal project to Unity? I'm assuming their are no tools to make this easy
mortal violet
Does someone know of a good tutorial for changing the animations for walk run idle etc? i've searched like hell but everything i'm getting is outdated, no mention of triggers...
brisk cedar
@warm niche its hard to tell what animations will do once a character is sitting on them. It might also depend on whether that specific model comes with colliders. Im assuming u wanna make like a trap door system
warm niche
yeah pretty much. select chair and it lowers to portal
runic mauve
@warm niche if the person stay in the chair they should be stay with chair when they go with the animation. @dusty girder did that for he mecha chair
brisk cedar

either way i know another way to do it

For the chair, the chair is attached to a bone which is apart of the mech avatar animation controller, so yes, the avtar moves with the chair.

Is there any way to get it to do a basic event when two pickups collide?
autumn hatch
OnEnterCollider, Layer Pickup?
warm niche
Thanks, i'll try that.
bleak sleet
Speaking of pickups, is it possible to have a part of your avatar (ex. hat or something) be one? Not that I have any avatars in the making right now that could have that feature, but it'd be good to know for the future.
autumn hatch
No, not possible
bleak sleet
Ah, I thought as much.
autumn hatch
Not a true pickup anyways. You can simulate it with animation overrides
bleak sleet
Yeah, that's what I thought to do at first, but then started to think if pickups were a better idea if they were possible, but since they aren't, guess I'll do some animation overrides when I get my VR set. 😂
warm niche
Thanks it worked.
autumn hatch
Does anyone know any substance painter getting-started guides that are recommended?
sweet crystal
@rough sleet Sorry for the wait, here it is. I fixed some bugs from the screenshot (the noise wasn't working properly 👀). Though I'm not sure if I set up specular/roughness correctly.

How hard would it be to make a jojo playermodel with a star platinum stand that appears/disappears on command?
sweet crystal
Depends on your skill level. My guess is; If you put it into a blendshape, you could replace a standard hand gesture with summoning your stand. Or if you're into animating you could have an emote where it'll pop out for a few seconds and then vanish.
autumn hatch
Relatively easy. Make an animation override that animates the transparency of star platinum materials to make him appear and disappear
hollow lotus
What's the best way to fix audio that stops working after spamming with the trigger activation?
autumn hatch
Activate and deactivate the sound source object to play the sound instead. Then you can spam the sound to your hearts content without it breaking
The toggle operation in activating/deactivating game objects used to be unreliable. Dunno if that has been fixed
hollow lotus
I see, I'll have to learn more about timers. Thanks.
autumn hatch
I would set it up like this
BUTTON turns on SOUND SOURCE and EMPTY
SOUND SOURCE plays on wake
EMPTY has OnTimer trigger with X seconds, with X being the sound duration on both low and high.
EMPTY deactivates EMPTY and SOUND SOURCE
Then you can mash the button like a tetris pro player, but the sound won't overlap and never break
Sound source and Empty starts off deactivated also
OnTimer triggers only start counting when the game object it's on gets turned on
If the low and high numbers (it's in seconds) are different then the trigger will fire randomly between those times
hollow lotus
Another question, how can I adjust POV of a camera with a trigger?

You're one SDK version behind! 2017.10.26 is the latest @hollow lotus
autumn hatch
Ah, gotcha
lofty gulch
even a free version http://www.mesh-online.net/download.html
warm niche
@viral verge is that cruncher extension better than just decimating it in blender?
final wigeon
I think the main advantages of some of these decimation addons is that it's a one-click kind of thing. Vs blender where you have to do it manually, but you get way more control over the decimation, which is very useful for character models since you can guide the decimation away from deforming joints.
lofty gulch
looking at the reviews, i'd say decimation in blender is beter
final wigeon
Yeah.
Plus to guide decimation intensity in blender you just paint a vertex group onto the mesh and set that in the decimate modifier.
brisk cedar
@final wigeon ^ how do decimate XD lol id like to know for future projects
final wigeon
Left to right we have
Vertex weights (blue 0, red 1)
Decimate modifier guided with the vertex group
Standard decimate
It's really simple. Add a decimate modifier, paint a vertex group onto the area where you want the decimation to have most (or least) effect. Then set that group in the decimate modifier (It's the field directly to the left of 'Factor') and if you want to invert it, the little <--> toggle will do that.
Then you just crank down the Ration value until things stop looking okay then go back up a little. Or until the vertex count comes within range. Hit apply when you're happy with it.
Note: Don't do this on meshes with shape keys, such as the face. Separate the face out, decimate the rest, then rejoin the face.
@brisk cedar
brisk cedar
OH THATS AWESOME. thanks
final wigeon
The general concept works with a lot of modifiers, using a vertex group for specific areas of influence.

crude schooner
hi all im using cloth on skirt with cylinder collides on bones. when in game and i press jump i fly away up in map spinning turning off cloth - same effect so i assume don't use collides ?
runic mauve
@crude schooner because any collder there not dyanmic bone collider will make avatar fly
in vrchat lol
only part of clothe maybe use on the shoulder and hair but anything near hip
will push avatar body
viral verge
Try adding collides to the skirt if using cloth
But might not have the effect you want
runic mauve
i think they would actally need fix collider bug if be useable
but fix that no more flying
in vrchat
with collider
turbid moon
is there video about coliders for the skirts?
runic mauve
if you using clothes all the video with collider wont work
in vrchat
they would basic have disable collider on body to not be effect
only be effect when somone touch world collider
collider are bug on avatar
viral verge
Can you use unity joints?
turbid moon
i see
viral verge
Wont find any tuts how to do this, but you could jerry rig them to act like colliders
Only if you can use joints to start with
runic mauve
you mean character joint
dull umbra
@crude schooner Apparently there's an object layer you can set colliders on so that they won't interact with player collision - at least that's what I've gathered by listening to bug reports from the beta lobby.
So if you can find out which layer that is, you may be able to get the leg colliders to work only for the skirt.
hollow lotus
Is there a shader that's visible only behind a specific texture/object?
Actually, never mind. I think I can just make a 5-sided box for this instead.
hollow lotus
Neat. I love stuff like this.
final wigeon
@viral verge You can use unity physics joints, and if you can I hear you probably should, since they have significantly better performance than the dynamic bone script.
viral verge
it would, but also needs more work to the point it might not be worth it unless you have time to learn
final wigeon
Setup is easy, tuning the settings to make it behave how you want isn't quite as clear.
viral verge
You feel setting up leg collistions is simple with it ? o: feel free to teach peeps 😛
Feel it might be a tad tricky for most since they are still newish to unity
final wigeon
I was trying it on the upper body, so things might be a bit weirder with colliders lower down the body. But what confused me most was definitely what settings actually did what.
viral verge
Way i was talking about was to use things like distance joints and springs to create a mock local collider
That way it wont effect you char like real colliders and throw you about
runic mauve
that way no one want to learn it would take to long. plus there no video on how to do it so will never work out lol
viral verge
Would not take to long to learn o.O and you don't always need vids
runic mauve
talk about most people in vrchat
there not many skill people
most skil ones dont even like share there info lol
want somthing happen you have to make it happen lol
need make tutiroals and info
want people use it
viral verge
Not as much as not wanting to share, but the people who tend to want it, don't want to work for it and only want it handed to them
runic mauve
then never be standard in vrchat
viral verge
?
runic mauve
if you want people to do this actally need share info simple as that i just saying
reason i share alot info avatar channel because there no info when i started
viral verge
I don't care if people do it
If people want to seek information they can
I'm not going to sit here and explain how something is done unless they want to learn
runic mauve
need to make easy as well want to make it grow
complex it get the hard normal joe enjoy
i think about people cant do it alot and find way to fix that issue we have in vrchat
viral verge
I'm not going to give handhouts simple as that, I'm fine helping people who want it. But i'm not just going to give them the end product
runic mauve
reason make tutiroal not give to them
just little guide
info you know
so they can do it
viral verge
Explain the benefit i gain from making them?
I dislike video editing and recording my voice.
viral verge
Not what i asked
runic mauve
i just saying hard to start use jont system were there no info how actally how to do it reason dynamic bone more popluar
because it eaiser
viral verge
Is tones of info online about joints
runic mauve
not for bones and avatar
viral verge
And like i said, If people seek info and ask, then they gain help
runic mauve
that jont never be use lol
viral verge
Does not bother me, I know it could be done
runic mauve
then be lost info
viral verge
Not lost info, takes basic understanding of joints with problem solving skills to work out how it's done
runic mauve
you get credit for help people that how i see it
viral verge
I'd rather help them 1 on 1 then people just copying the vid and learning nothing
runic mauve
actally people do learn from video
avatar would not be this big if somone didnt make guide on it
or video
i see the popluation still be down 40 people
viral verge
I can see that from all the mmd rips and player model rips
just looks like teaching people how to use ctrl c - v to me
It's the people who spend time to learn past them vids that make custom stuff
runic mauve
like the vrc trigger system there no info how to make complex trigger
viral verge
Lack of documentaion is not comparable
You should not need to try and understand someone elses code
It should be clearly documented
runic mauve
reason vrchat call coumminty they basic use use to figure out that for them lol
i see what there doing give tool to play with and find way to use it
viral verge
That changes nothing, it's still not comparable
Talking about something not fully documented over things that are
Plenty of info online to teach how unity systems work
runic mauve
trigger system actally much easier to understand they jont system
it visual script
it tell you the command it can do
play maker visual script more complex
viral verge
Still does not change anything like i keep saying, People need to work out that system, over info fully documented
runic mauve
there some stuff minecraft did they didnt told everyone what you can do with it alot people figure way to use it

If it views desktop stuff/background it previews perfectly. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall everything. Going from last night today nothing has change. I haven't updated anything. Please let me know if u had a similar problem at some point. @mention me if u can. thx

@runic mauve So you think i should go out and get some replacement cables? Like if i jiggle the cords (all of them) nothing changes. Im honestly at a bind
I DUNNO WAT THAT MEANS
viral verge
sure you can treat anything as a game, But does not mean its built for that purpose, but i sadly don't see the point in this loop so i'm out, don't see it going anywhere

tulip flower

tulip flower
@hazy mountain hey YOOOooooooo
@mention me if anyone has any suggestions. I love doing vrchat and learning new things in unity and blender everyday, but having my VR headset do something like this just confuses the hell out of me

Well, if you have a spare HDMI cable lying around, try hooking it into the DK2 and graphics card instead of the 2-in-1 cable hdmi. If the same issue results, then it is likely the DK2 mainboard is kaput.

idk if mine is in the right section but
how do i use a png image in unity ?
like making it float infront of my avatar
urban tapir
you could probably just place a quad and changed the material
and then place it on your avatar hierarchy
sturdy lynx
whats a quad
do i just drag the png image onto the model itself ?
@urban tapir pokes
urban tapir
you make a material
and change the texture in that material
then you drag the material onto the quad
also its only one side
sturdy lynx
would it deform my png image ?
urban tapir
so you might want to make another quad
sturdy lynx
like stretch it to fix the object
urban tapir
yeah probs
sturdy lynx
:C
urban tapir
don't know yet but fiddle around with it
urban tapir
I'm seeing more models of that recently
urban tapir
Hmm... maybe I should try a phone model that pops up. And a ui appears
sturdy lynx
@urban tapir is gif usable in vrchat ?
urban tapir
i don't think so

@sturdy lynx nope you would have to make a 2d sprite sheet with animation
