I got a small question
I want to know from a rift user , what are the button you press for single finger(edited)
if you know what i mean like put a single finger up and down because i am mapping my ps move controller to do so but im tryna see wich button would that be
here are all the possiblity for me
"system"
"application_menu"
"grip"
"dpad_left"
"dpad_up"
"dpad_right"
"dpad_down"
"a"
"button_8"
"button_9"
...
"button_30"
"button_31"
"touchpad"
"trigger"
"axis_2"
"axis_3"
"axis_4"
this is my mapping as of right now
"ps": "system",
"move": "touchpad",
"trigger": "trigger",
"triangle": "application_menu",
"square": "grip",
"circle": "a",
"cross": "button_8",
"select": "button_9",
"start": "button_10",
"rumble_suppressed": false,
"use_spatial_offset_after_touchpad_press_as_touchpad_axis": true
circle and cross do nothing
verbal wolf
I can't help much on the development side but the rift controllers are capacitive, so you just lift your finger off the trigger irl and it points in game. Could be something to do with the trigger

So, if i have a model, that is fine the way it is material wise and i want to use CATS to atlas it.
Is there a specific setting i should choose so i don't f-this up within the atlas tab?
or just do a few presaves and test it?

Is there any drawback to using 8K texture? Can all PC's/laptops handle them?
rough sleet
@warm niche Obviously the first issue is it'll use a lot of VRAM. According to the Unity documentation cards that support DX11 also support 16K textures. https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ImportingTextures.html#TextureSizes However Unity's importer will only import up to 8K.
Are you planning on using a single 8K texture atlas for your world?
warm niche
Yes
rough sleet
That should be fine then.

Got another problem though, it is running at 60 FPS on desktop. It has 999 tris but i decreased it to 300k tris and it's still the same framerate. There's no light in the scene, it's an unlit texture.
warm niche
I haven't uploaded it yet, i'm just looking at it in unity.
rough sleet
Oh, in the editor?
warm niche
yes
rough sleet
The editor likely just has VSync enabled.
It's under Edit->Project Settings->Quality
"V Sync Count"
warm niche
Oh gosh how stupid am i? Thanks, it's now 2700 fps.
rough sleet
Lol, yeah, it does that by default.
It's a bit odd that VRChat doesn't use VSync or a 60 FPS limit when in desktop mode.
warm niche
It's usually about 90 in the game, i don't know if that's vsync or a framerate limit.

This is so frustrating. Unity 5.6.3p1 has a bug in it that crashes it for me after a few minutes of work. The only fix, according to Unity support, is to upgrade to something other than 5.6.3p1. I can't be the only person experiencing this-- the UI stops responding, although you can still Ctrl-S to save. The UI blanks out and screws up. If you try to resize the window, Unity crashes with a crash report. I've tried updating drivers, swapping down to D3D9 (works, but breaks other things), and etc. Apparently it is a DX11 issue. I'm completely unable to work on levels or avatars. ๐ข
If it continues I'll probably do a full reformat. I can't think of anything else to fix it.

Tere was a trick to fool unity into using DX12. I don't think it will help but it may be worth a try.

Oh really? thank you so much! lol I had a weird feeling I downloaded the wrong one
final wigeon
@hollow blade Is the version of unity you were using an earlier or later one than 5.6.3p1?
hollow blade
I believe a later one. Nothing was making the errors go away and I couldn't figure out why. This might also help me get her skirt working who knows lol.
@merry coral you mean physics and stuff right?
final wigeon
Okay, you'll need to redo the whole unity project in 5.6.3p1, since you can't really downgrade unity projects (well you can but it's unsupported)
hollow blade
Lol unfortunately I know....I'm gonna go cry now lol jk but yeah I'll restart. Wasn't too bad the model was already rigged.

@hollow blade ye
hollow blade
@merry coral you'll need to buy/download an extension to Unity called dynamic bones.
hollow blade
@merry coral Hmm... you may want to try animation for it instead of the dynamic bones. Kind of like how people animate blinking to an avatar. I'm not quite sure I'm sorry.
runic mauve
to make moveing ship use car script put the boat in water
make sure water has collider floor

please, that's too many dynamic bones
plus that model will wiggle
you essentially made all of the bones dynamic
hollow blade
Right...I'm not sure how to fix her. This is my first time using dynamic bones >.<
Nevermind I figured it out lol
runic mauve
@urban tapir i think this be better idea https://vrchat.canny.io/feature-requests/p/turn-off-and-on-particle-and-dynamic-bone-vrchat-setting-menu
just have option to enable and disable in vrchat setting
if people cpu cant handle then just turn it off
it just make your client no render the particle and dyanmic bone
you just see them as static

Is it possible to make a one time spawn??
runic mauve
yea when it spawn let the button destory it self
after click on
just add destoryobjection
merry coral
I want something where once you go into a said place you can't come out by respawning
So for players
Not objects
runic mauve
there no vrc trigger for that
runic mauve
what you trying to do
merry coral
Have you been to the Thot Prison
I have it where you walk into a cell but you can't get out
runic mauve
make random spawner each cell
merry coral
But I want to stop people from respawning
runic mauve
when they get in there stuck in there
make your master spawn for your self be outside the persion
merry coral
Ok
tiny forge
does the Video Player wait for a URL to be downloaded before playing it?
runic mauve
@merry coral in spawn location slot in vrc world if you put empty each one
they try respawn the go to next prison
tiny forge
I don't know what I'm doing wrong
I tested the audio source with one of the test files and it worked fine
merry coral
How do I make more then one spawn point??
tiny forge
change the size of the spawn tab @merry coral
and put whatever object you want players to spawn on in the Element
runic mauve
just make empty place each empty in prison
then name so you know what prison they are and add them to vrcworld spawn tabs
tiny forge
lol I should have read higher
tiny forge
disregard what I said @merry coral, I didn't know what you were trying to do, it won't work for your prison thing
runic mauve
it will
just when they get to that area
be all ready in prison lol
he can make master teleport or door to get out only him
tiny forge
so everyone spawns in a cell?
I mean, if that's what you want
could work
the police could force people into the portal
to the prison map
imagine a map where it lines of sight your menu, so you can't even change world
runic mauve
problem that can abuse be annoying
tiny forge
it would be a dick move ofc
if you put a collider inside your cell with that trigger
whenever someone leaves the cell will get teleported back in it
assuming the teleport receiver is inside the cell
no idea if respawning triggers the exit
but if it works that would be the best way to do it
if you remove Trigger Individuals, you could basically have a prison cell where only the last person to exit gets teleported back
merry coral
So would this be under VRC_World?
tiny forge
on the collider inside the prison cell
merry coral
No
tiny forge
what do you mean?
merry coral
To set different spawn points
merry coral
Ok
tiny forge
there's a little tab you can expand called Spawns
merry coral
Also how would one have an object attach to a person's head
Like in ctf
Where if you die you get that bubble over ur head
runic mauve
ctf custom script only vrchat developer have access to
tiny forge
add child object to an object you set as reference Camera in the VRC_Scene descriptor
and use triggers to enable/disable the objects on your reference camera
huge hack
might work, idk, but it's the only thing I can think of that could work without scripting
I really should make a lab world just to try out stuff like that
merry coral
Understandable
Also I gotta work on a gun
Where it shoots you and it does a said task when hit

I imported an animation into Unity to replace IDLE, but in-game it appears upside down. How do I fix it?
quick forge
so for some time now I've had this weird thing going on with my avatar that I really don't know what it is caused by
certain rooms will cause this werird effect on screenshots, and in the mirror I will see my avatar as black, or random colors
Rooms with baked lighting are very dim, as if there was no lighting
or barely any
note for the gif above, the cracked effect was intended, but the strobing eyes was completly out of nowhere. For the most part they stayed completely black but at that moment thye started cycling through random colors.
minus the gif, the others were just using cubed shaders, but I'm wondering why just this avatar is causing these weird effects. If anyone has any idea of what it could be causing it I would greatly appretiate the help :). It makes it hard to take mirror screenshots when my avatar is doing these weird things.
quick forge
only the gif has the custom shader but shouldn't cause the eyes to spaz out like that, the rest are cubeds. I'm going to upload a version in standard and see if that changes anything
hollow blade
Sorry to bother everyone again but I'm having trouble on this final thing. In blender the back skirt appears, but in unity it becomes invisible. I've tried backface culling but then it disappears in blender and unity. Unchecked it shows in blender but not unity....any ideas on how to fix this?
sweet crystal
Unity is culling the backfaces. What shader are you using?
hollow blade
unlit texture. I've tried different kinds but it still is culling
sweet crystal
You need to use a shader specifically with culling turned off
hollow blade
Culling is turned off though with the unlit texture. Do you mean download one specifically? Or where do I go for a shader same place I selected unlit for the mesh?
sweet crystal
Well, as far as I can tell, the back of the skirt's being culled
hollow blade
Right. every shader I've tried including the standard one makes it culled...but not in blender which I don't understand how. If I cull it in blender then it goes away there too lol. It's so odd.
sweet crystal
Great!

If I have an animation that changes my position it makes all my dynamic bones flip out, is there a way to prevent this?

Dunno if this counts as advanced, sorry if it doesn't: I want to do custom animations for an avatar while also having an idle blinking animation. Can I do the idle by just adding a Animation component to my model or do I have to set it as something in the AnimationOverrides?

bug report time!
or maybe suggestion
For the CATS Blender plugin, in order to make it compatible with Mixamo, you should add a check to every place it would search for strings such as "Hips" or "Spine" etc. so it checks to see if they contain the string "mixamorig:" and removing that part, then also removing/renaming them to whatever their actual counterpart is
Becuase I'm currently in the process of manually doing that, as it says it didn't find "hips" because it was named "mixamorig:Hips"

@queen hearth mixamo you just use mix weight tool only
just need click on extra spine click mix weight tool

runic mauve
@warm niche you need to fix this blender or remove eye bone from model
in uinty
then wont have eye tracking no more
warm niche
well i want eye tracking
so is there no way to have eye tracking and disable blinking when i dont want it?
runic mauve
then you have to go back in blender make new blink blendshape
the tool do it for you
them 4 slot need blendshape that have no effect to face because if you delete or remove them then use visime for blink animation
script base off the 4 colum for eye tracking
if one them slots fill with mouth movment
it use blink animation add to mouth
lunar crane
@runic mauve You helped me on vrcat, I unchecked the baked animation but it still wont carry over the viseme movements
I get -none- in the drop down
runic mauve
did you check they move in blender
runic mauve
does it have more then one mesh on the avatar?
lunar crane
no just a "body" mesh
I've tried so many avatars to get visemes, nothing works. Just gonna give up on it. Thanks for the help

so u see where it says left leg and all that
quasi bobcat
yeah
hollow blade
Oh jeez lol
daring snow
you click it and hit "Enforce T-Pose"

it worked but not I'm rigging and it says she's not in a t-pose...hmmm
is there a way to put her in it in blender before?

oh nope I figured it out she had an animation attatched to her lol
thanks for the help!

night topaz
Anyone know how to pull the models out of steam workshop
exotic tree
@night topaz For what game? For most games, workshop content is saved to Steam/steamapps/workshop/content folder in one of the randomly numbered folders. Try using last modified date to search for the file you downloaded. If your trying to get files from a garrysmod addon, check out my tutorial on vrcat.club: https://vrcat.club/threads/rough-tutorial-for-porting-source-engine-models-to-vrchat.122/
night topaz
It's through gmod
old bridge
@hollow blade rotate the bones in armature editing mode in blender
night topaz
I extracted the file i got the mdl and vmt files just need to convert them somehow
exotic tree
@hollow blade You'll need to use blender to fix it. Rotate the wrists 180 in pose mode so the palms are facing down. Then select the mesh, go to the modifiers tab (wrench icon) under the properties pannel and apply the armature modifier. Then select the skeleton again, go to pose mode, press crtl-A, click apply pose as rest pose. Then select the mesh again and go back to the modifiers tab. Add an armature modifier, and select your skeleton in the object box.
@night topaz my tutorial explains how to decompile source models, including garrysmod models. You'll need the .vtf textures and not the .vmt files by the way, the .vmt's are just text files that define the textures and properites a material will use.
night topaz
Ok Thank you so much
exotic tree
@night topaz Also, I forgot to update my tutorial to say that you don't need to delete one of the spine bones. Just redefine ValveBiped.Bip01_Spine2 and _Spine4 as the spine and chest in the humanoid configuration.

Ok thank you
verbal tusk
i'm ahving toruble with animations playing reverse with emotes
i mean hand gestures
They play backwards, slowly
old bridge
@verbal tusk probably some incorrect values in animator? Like -0.2 speed instead of 1. You enable objects wiht animators for that, right?
old bridge
You mean preview when you hit play in unity or animation preview in the lower right corner?
verbal tusk
Neither
It happens in VR Chat when someone is doign the gesture itself
The preview itself in unity is one way
@old bridge I have no way to explain it
other than spooky
verbal tusk
Animation in this case can't be that short
I'm also getting animations for expressions that are mixing witht eh blinking @runic mauve
The animation that i'm tyring to make work is unfolding the RWBY scythe
old bridge
@verbal tusk the only way to do it is to have an animated object of that scythe and make it enabled with gesture
@verbal tusk you can't make gesture animation longer that 2 frames (probs you know that already)
runic mauve
he would have to make animator controller
for that object
then have animation to turn on that game obj
old bridge
Yeah
exotic tree
Hey, does anyone have the default movement/sitting animations? I've seen people with edited versions of the default sitting animations that fix the height issue for small avatars, and I've seen some discussion on here about editing the default movement animations to make non-humanoid avatars. Where do I get the animations from? They're not in the vrcsdk. Are they mixamo animations?
verbal tusk
Is there really no way to make animations longer than 2 frames? @old bridge
old bridge
@verbal tusk as I said, you need to make and object with animator controller and it may have your long animation. Then disable the old scythe and enable animated one with gesture
@exotic tree probably Mixamo
@exotic tree they there animated? Or just still? Probably someone manually edited it in mechanim in Unity

@exotic tree i was asking myself the same question the other day. I'm interested too!

hallow portal
@split orbit you were right at least one light can throw shadows from rt objects on static geometry in substractive mode. but it looks like crap.
from the manual...
Static GameObjects do not show any specular or glossy highlights at all from Mixed Lights. They also cannot receive any shadows from dynamic GameObjects, except for the main Directional Light (see paragraph below for more information on this).
hazy spear
Why are they looking so different? even though they have the same values? (on the blue arrows has to be an "-" but they are not shown in the pic. i had to figure that out myself)
marsh narwhal
I would like to make those hand thinner and smaller. Have an idea ?
final wigeon
@marsh narwhal alt+s will scale it along the normals making it thinner. Just s will scale it as usual.
marsh narwhal
Ok thanks ๐
final wigeon
Hold shift to make mouse movement scale it less for fine control.
marsh narwhal
And do you know if I can make the bones which are linked, scale too ?
Like scaling the bones and the mesh together so it don't do anything weird.
If I scale the bones the mesh should scale too no ?
final wigeon
If you scale the bones they'll scale normally. They'll only pull the mesh with it if you scale in pose mode.
To keep the changes you'll have to
apply the armature modifier
apply the new pose as the rest pose
re-add the armature modifier.
marsh narwhal
ok

@near obsidian Are you using vertex colours? If not the you should UV unwrap your model and bake a texture atlas to minimize the number of draw calls. Otherwise if you use separate materials for each colour you'll end up with a separate draw call for each one as well.

@marsh narwhal common sense is your friend here. If you've seen those huge avatars with circles and all the obnoxious stuff, and you still get decent fps. I wouldn't worry too much. Just don't go overboard lol
marsh narwhal
ok
urban tapir
Yeah, i have two stupidly giant avatars o use sometimes but everyone still gets decent fps
marsh narwhal
What do you mean by scaling the animation ? O_o
When you do an override gesture animation. And make it last for 10s (not 1s). Does it affect the reaction time to pop out the animation. For example, if I'm doing 'handgun' for 2s, then do other gestures. Does the animation will be cancel after those 2s of animations, or does it gonna take 10s after the gesture was ended ?
marsh narwhal
Yeah I'm at the same problem
testing things
but I have not a good connection so can't tell if it is my connection or the animation
marsh narwhal
Don't change samples
they need to be at 60 or your animations gonna be laggy or look weird
This is the frame time at which is played your animation
crude schooner
hm all my anims are at 30
marsh narwhal
Like if you want 5s animation. You need to put the start at the 0 key and the 60x5 => 300 key for the end
crude schooner
its like in blender when u want to scale animation time
marsh narwhal
But I don't think that there is an other solutions than take key per key and make them at the good point
crude schooner
LOL f unity
marsh narwhal
(I'm a begginer, so I don't know if there is one actually)
crude schooner
yah im looking in gogle but nope
marsh narwhal
So just multiply all your key by 5 and place them :X
marsh narwhal
I wonder if you make the durations double if it double it
wait
gonna see on mine
No o-o
Maybe it's not on our version ?
marsh narwhal
Ehhhh
My animation is lagging ;-;
When I press or don't press one or an other button it make animation play
Is there a solution to make an animation override that lasts 1s but If I'm pressing continually the same key without interuptions it make it 9s longger without repeating it (for particles to stand and continue they're way) ?
marsh narwhal
Solution found :d
bright dragon
Guys, any idea how do i make my avatar not sink into the ground when i use an animation i made in unity and that i put on emotes?
upbeat citrus
Make the animations on a copy of the model
bright dragon
i did, avatar still sinks into the ground when o use the emote/during the emote
marsh narwhal
Without the red recording button put your avatar in the right position
bright dragon
without the red recording button, the avatar is in the right position. only when i click on the record button
or when i start the animation itself
marsh narwhal
Yeah I mean if you move it after the position is f*cked without red button does it works ?
dark sigil
are you making an emote or override?
I know for overrides it doesn't matter if the model is underground
ornate comet
In the animator how do I get it to change facial expressions? I add them into the key frames but I don't know if there is a specific thing I need to do to make them work or
any suggestions?
bright dragon
@marsh narwhal i click on the red button, the position gets f*cked. I click it again (to turn it off), the position goes back to normal
@dark sigil I created all the movements of the avatar throught unity animator
even on the preview the avatar get's underground:
so i presume it's the animation itself..
dark sigil
@ornate comet theres a number near the property and you can change those values to get the expression
and @bright dragon are you trying to make an emote or a gesture for hands?
bright dragon
emote
marsh narwhal
Ehhh
dark sigil
I'm not too sure then
ornate comet
@dark sigil Yeah found it, didn't realise that it was out of 100 on scale
ornate comet
Thats probably easier, however keyframes feel easier in unity
bright dragon
i have the entire animation ready, the only problem is that it sinks into the ground..
dark sigil
Nah i'm not talking about the blendshapes, those I just add in after in unity since it's easier
ornate comet
@dark sigil Do you know how to get the hand gestures ontop of any animation I do?
I'm guessing I have to find the keyframes
Wherever they are
dark sigil
if you go to the animation override thing and click on the gray circles next to the box to replace them I think you can find the animations from there
they should be named the same as the name for the override
ornate comet
Yeah I see them
hard part is getting those keyframes into the animatior
Think I got it
Copy pasted even though its read only
warm niche
Does your version of that file with the hand animations have different values for each action? Look in the animator to hand open and fists, are those values different at all? I've been trying to source the finger values for a long time.
bright dragon
i think i fixed it. If you're wondering how, i was looking into the animations components, and added some of the "T poses" it has there. probably the "motion" or the "root" one made the trick
still need to see if it's good ingame, but it should be

Is there a way to make a mesh or object rotate constantly in a 1 frame animation. For example how someone would pull out a gun but instead of a gun its a drill that is constantly spinning? I know how to do animation overrides, its just that I cant get this object spinning. I've used Cs Rotate and it works but I can't attach that script to something thats going to be uploaded.

Animate the drill seperately, then for the gesture override just enable the drill game object or mesh

could someone maybe send me a unity project with working dynamic bones?
i would like to find out how you work around this bug https://vrchat.canny.io/bug-reports/p/dynamic-bones-flickering-since-update-0120p1
runic mauve
everyone use same dyanmic bone from the asset store
it more vrchat problem
then script it self
they would have update it to work with vrchat better
trim ibex
yeah i get that we all use the same dynamic bones
runic mauve
dyanmic bone when you far distance does get shut off
trim ibex
but other people do not encoutner that bug on their avatars
trim ibex
yeah..
runic mauve
well need video it
trim ibex
i dont need to take a video of it. i can just show everyone in vrchat
runic mauve
for perfect skirt in vrchat would use clothes but that take 2 skin mesh render and it perfomance hog as well lol
runic mauve
what your setting on your bones
need adjust them not every model
can be same setting
because different bones layout
trim ibex
but different setting do not seem to affect the bug
also yeah i know it capps at 60 and i have tried setting it to 60 or lower
runic mauve
might have lower how many bones
are on the skirt
you can do that with mixd weight tool
cat plugin
could be limit on bones as well
trim ibex
i cannot say that limits on the bones themselves arent the reason
but i dont really know how to find out
the amount is definetly not the problem
this happens even with just one dynamic bone
trim ibex
i assume it has something to do with the IK. maybe the IK updates more often than the dynamic bones and that might cause it to flicker like that
no its not the hip bone
also the things i am trying to do are not the skirt
runic mauve
what you trying to do
trim ibex
i am doing the hair, boobs, ears, and a collar
runic mauve
boobs you have to stiff it up more
hair dont use gravity or force
ear just hook to root ear not the headband
need alot more adjust on them
plus base on weight paint
set on them
if weight paint little werid
dyanmic bone look werid in vrchat
trim ibex
the thing is that they dont look weird
they flicker when my framerate is over 60fps
since the update
trim ibex
yeah that does not do anything
runic mauve
90 fps what cuase fps drop in vrchat
mimi had 120 fps
they lag a room
reason it got reduce
trim ibex
the problem is that when my actuall framerate is higher than the update rate of the dynamic bones they flicker
and i am not the only one that has that problem
but i want to find out what causes this since there are many people who dont have that problem with their avatars
runic mauve
there not using 90 fps
there using standard 60fps
set all ready on dyanmic bone
dyanmic bone be optimze for perfomance problem
so it not going be perfect

I've a sphere with shape key that make it bigger so it take in my avatar and other. And I wanna make those avatars invisible
I've seen people with a shader that make them invisible, wanna do the same but with the sphere. But will it make the sphere and us invisible or just the sphere ?
autumn hatch
Hm... Sounds you need some kind of stencil shader for that effect, if you want that sphere to turn other objects invisible.
marsh narwhal
Ok thanks ! ๐
autumn hatch
MAYBE you can put the render queue on the sphere ridiculously high
Not exactly sure if it will work
Doubt it

old bridge
@trim ibex oh god why do you use 0.9 stiffness? I usually use 0.05 and damping like 0.1-0.15. inert is ok here I suppose
@marsh narwhal just flip the normals on sphere and use any shader with backface culling (like a standard for example). backface culling will make everything inside the sphere invisible from outside. You'll see the sphere from the inside though
marsh narwhal
@old bridge So basicly I need a script with that to flips the normals ? "using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
[RequireComponent(typeof(MeshFilter))]
public class ReverseNormals : MonoBehaviour {
void Start () {
MeshFilter filter = GetComponent(typeof (MeshFilter)) as MeshFilter;
if (filter != null)
{
Mesh mesh = filter.mesh;
Vector3[] normals = mesh.normals;
for (int i=0;i<normals.Length;i++)
normals[i] = -normals[i];
mesh.normals = normals;
for (int m=0;m<mesh.subMeshCount;m++)
{
int[] triangles = mesh.GetTriangles(m);
for (int i=0;i<triangles.Length;i+=3)
{
int temp = triangles[i + 0];
triangles[i + 0] = triangles[i + 1];
triangles[i + 1] = temp;
}
mesh.SetTriangles(triangles, m);
}
}
}
}"
old bridge
@marsh narwhal well...I'd better just flip normals in blender with like one command ๐ฅ
but if it works then why not...
old bridge
probably your material has transparency on it?
like the color is slightly transparent
marsh narwhal
No it's because the script don't actually work ;-;

probably I was wrong. let me try it too
yeah, I was wrong. It only culls the sphere itself, sorry for misleading ๐

transparent shader for the outside and then a skybox shader on the inside?

Hey, someone mentioned a while ago that there was a IK script on the unity asset store that was whitelisted. Was it FinalIK?

Damn. Is there any workaround for not having gestures and emotes on non-humanoids?
autumn hatch
Write your own controller and apply it to your avatar
Controllers don't get overwritten on generic avatars
exotic tree
I've tried that before, using the AvatarControllerTemplate as a base. That appears to have everything set up for emotes and gestures, but for some reason the gestures won't play and attemping to do emotes freezes me in place permanently. I honestly don't know how to do controllers, but without some sort of example that works I'm not going to be able to figure it out.

@rough flame Change the trigger to OnEnterTrigger because the capsule collider has Is Trigger active, and change layers to Player Local

What is OnEnterCollider used for?
autumn hatch
For example, if you were to hold a lightbulb for a game world and if you drop it to the ground, it breaks. Then you would put a OnEnterCollider on the lightbulb and an action to destroy it

The layers window decides on what layers comes into contact with it, in your case when a player enters it, an action is triggered

I mean if you want a mesh to just float then there.... You can do like I do and just parent the mesh itself to the head bone. But if its the same mesh as the main body and doesnt move. I would recomend making sure its even weighted

Anyone have a transluscent water shader that works with VR?
winged lotus
So I would weight it and let the head parent the bones? I leave the mesh alone too right
dark epoch
Yup.
winged lotus
Alright, I'll try it and hope it works!
dark epoch
@warm niche You can use the one unity has
warm niche
The WaterProDaytime one? The simple one isn't transluscent. The water4advanced one doesn't seem to be compatible with VR.

How are people making avatars that collide with other avatar
dark epoch
I imagine its using that dynamic bone thing. One person can have a collider set to a layer that the dynamic bone is setup to and they can interact

Can we import anims onto objects in Vrchat ?
dark epoch
Yes. But its depends on the circemstance. If you were to simply try and put an animation onto a humanoid object. VRC's IK system would simply overide it.

Hey-- I tried asking around in #avatars-2-general, but I didn't get any replies, so I figure I'll try here.
I'm making my first model with animations. Most everything works, and I was able to get the blinking animation working, but none of the other animations I've made are working on the avatar. I'm using a CustomOverride to try and replace the hand gestures with animations that change facial expressions, which I've seen used on other avatars before, but none of them are triggering at all. In addition, I've also set Visemes for my model, but those aren't working, either. Is there some basic to avatar animation I'm missing?
stiff lily
Which tutorials did you follow ?
barren lantern
I followed this tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0txtOuZtx0
In the part where they're mapping the finger gestures to facial animation, I skipped also re-setting the finger gestures, because my avatar very literially doesn't have fingers. Are those animation triggers disabled entirely if the finger bones aren't detected?
stiff lily
Well, if they can't be played, then i'd assume so
They need to be bound to fingers afaik ?
like eye, eyelid, jaw etc
barren lantern
I'm not sure. As far as I'm aware, this just re-maps the gestures to play a different animation file. In that case, they'd work, and that still wouldn't explain my Visemes not working, either. There might be something wrong with my Avatar Descriptor, but I don't see anything out of place.
stiff lily
your custom standing anim isn't overwritten ?
or are you using CustomOverrideEmpty 1 for both ?
barren lantern
I don't think it gets overwritten, as this is the exact method the tutorial used, and I've seen the same technique applied to other avatars, too. In the CustomOverride, I'm only overriding the finger gestures, but everything else is still set blank and uses the default animation.
I would check if the default animations are triggering at all, but I have no fingers to test with.

Have you also seen this video ? https://youtu.be/V0l4-pH3vI4
But it's pretty odd to not have fingers
barren lantern
It's a highly stylized model.

The animations you use have to be mecanim animations
Im not sure if there is a software you have to use or if you can get a plugin through unity. Youll have to research it.
...unless you plan to make it a non humanoid object. But you plan to overide say a walk cycle or a sitting anim.. Then mecanim is da' tingy.
barren lantern
Hm. I'll have to look around, then. It's weird that my blinking animation works fine, and mecanim seems to only work with skeleton animation, not the blend shape animation that facial expressions use. Seems I've got a lot of looking at the docs ahead of me...
sterile cipher
If you don't have fingers, then some animations will not work properly. You can make some fake fingers in Blender and then assign them in Unity (even if they're not weighted to any verts, its fine)
dark epoch
"extreme texture mode acctivated"
barren lantern
I managed to get something vaguely resembling fingers rigged up and working in Unity (it's not complaining about them, so that's a good sign) but was still unable to get the facial animations to trigger. Hm. I'll fumble around with some settings in Unity until this (hopefully) works.
Got it working! My issue the second time was me trying to re-use the animations on the edited model, which Unity didn't appreciate very much. Re-creating the animations has fixed it and gotten this working, finally. Thanks, @sterile cipher!
rich wyvern
How do you fix this stuff
this happens on an vmd animation imported using mmd tools
and the model im applying it to is using the fixed armature
prisma fox
No idea :/

is there any way to find out what is causing a lag spike in a world I am building like a way to see the Profiler inside unity but running live on the server
i cant seem to figure out the bottleneck
pale violet
is there any chance that Playmaker will make it possible to trigger the unity fog on and off?
marsh narwhal
There is some animation that takes a lot of poly but they're rare. Mainly it's because number of people with dynamic bones and thing like that :p
warm niche
Is there an animation overwrite for the controller trigger "if you place your finger on the button (Occulus at least, dont know what it is in vive)"?
cause then the finger bend a little and i want to overwrite this animation to a smile
covert chasm
argghh how can i save decimation for objects that have shape keys?
stoic brook
just realized this is probably the proper place to ask about animations.
anyone know why the animations I've made for my avatar in unity make it go to the "muscle test" pose?
marsh narwhal
How do you duplicate a materials and his texture and settings?
