@barren lantern if you want a mirror i would take 1 piece put a metal texture on it and put a mirror shader after
#development-advanced

and its same as putting a sword on a avatar etc make sure you put the item in the hand or wrist of your avatar when you are done adjusting it
barren lantern
Would I be able to distance fade that mirror using the same shader?
atomic shuttle
Anyone know why that my 2 objects with different layers and in the collision matrix they are not set to interact, are still triggering the VRC_Trigger layer?
Might have fixed it 1 sec..
sleek locust
hmm if there is a mirror fade shader then yes @barren lantern
barren lantern
I'll have to look around or try to make one, then. It sounds silly, but I basically need to have a mirror on my wrist so that I can check if my facial animations are correct, but I'd like for this mirror not to be visible to other players, as it'd break the look of the avatar.
atomic shuttle
So does the Pickup Layer supercede any other layer i put on it? so if i make a trigger happen on the non pickup layer it wont trigger unless it looks for the pickup layer too?
Basically I need object A to be triggered by Pickup B but not by Pickup C
nvm think i found a solution

So how would someone go about optimizing their world if they aren't exactly sure what they need to optimize?
runic mauve
think bake light, reduce material
idont over use particle
less draw call better the world would load
and use LOD
untold vigil
aggressive use of lod is the bread and butter of optimisation. Also possibly look into texture atlasing.
Does the vr chat avatar system support eye tracking driven by blend shapes/morphs or even bone translation rather than rotation. I have a character whos eyes are just not suitable for rotation driven . an alternate approach i could take would be to use rotation but set the pivots in like the back of the head, and limit rotation to a few degrees, but im not sure the pipeline would support that either and honestly doing it with morphs would be a lot easier for me.
robust yarrow
is there a way to trigger a one time spawn animation? so for example I switch from Avatar A to Avatar B and it plays a small animation like an emote before going to the idle pose or whatever the player is doing. The only way to have it trigger again would be to change to a different avatar and switch back.

@rough sleet That sorta worked, but unity didn't like the result too much after export, i'll try something else just in case, thank you !

@stiff lily Hmm. my issue was more the opposite, i wanted to use morphs to drive eye tracking rather than bones. The eyes are a large flat plane so unless i pull the iris way off the eye rotation is going to cause intersection. if it cant be done with visemes will just not bother with eye tracking, but would like it.

When I move in game the model snaps to the same location and snaps back when I stop moving https://i.gyazo.com/473ec30f572afc70fdb1e08dbd345e2a.mp4
Since the model moves when I go in to playtest (what ever its called) could that be it?
If it is how do I fix it, I dont see any changes to the transform position values on the model or game object.
I have also poked around in the animations and it does not look to be an issue with the idle animation being anywere else (position wise)

just use tail root in vrchat it make it stick straight alot
if you add some animation to tail move back foward
it make tail more realstic

bone is already the tail, and it's set as root, what should i use instead ?
i feel like something is wrong with the way it moves, i'm not sure how to make it move straight like you're explaining

You just add a camera and make it write what it sees to a render texture and to take the picture you disable the camera. It will display the last thing it saw before it was disabled

so activate it with a gesture

Fixed issue where doing an emote with a non-humanoid avatar caused you to no longer be able to move. I read this at vrchat.com/release does this mean you can make custom emotes with generic rigs now?

I made a custom idle animation and my model is stuck in the ground, if I compensate for this my model when finishing motion moves from in the floor to the position I set in the animation.
Is there some blend between the default idle (which I can override) and some other animation that can’t not be overridden/is not in the override controller?
Also of note, when in VR and in idle the avatar will not move up and does with the head set but does in the walk/run/strafe animations

The cameras causing 2x draw calls makes sense, but at the same time, I've never noticed any kind of performance difference when people enabled/disabled their cameras. Hell, it was only a day or two ago that someone showed me the idea of leaving the RenderTexture active while disabling the associated camera, in order to have a 'still' frame on the texture, as if they had just taken a picture. That blew me away! If I never saw that person until after the most recent update, I never would have gotten to see that amazing functionality. I wish it could at least be a user-controlled setting...

does atlasing make performance better? ive been just deleting dupe mats
bleak tendon
deleting dupe mats helps a lot, but atlasing is the best performance wise, cause you then theoreticly only need to load one texture
median flare
It reduces the drawcalls substantially. As an example, I've seen some pretty bad MMDs hit 80-100 drawcalls. Atlasing them can reduce them to one single call.
(They'll typically be around 20-50 normally though)

does anyone know how to fix a model that has camera in had, I tried to more in the front but still not working, always in game is in head, I can see anything cause this
head*, sorry for my bad english
bleak tendon
did you correctly set the camera point of view in unity?
median flare
Generic avatar?
bleak tendon
weird, maybe there is a limit, how far off the camera can be forward, try draging your model backwards? and then adjusting the camera again
median flare
Was making sure it wasn't a humanoid issue. I'm not too sure honestly, I guess try what MC said and maybe check the animations to make sure they're not pushing you away from where you want
bleak tendon
yeah, maybe try that and then put it further back, see if anything changes
if the further forward doesn't do anything and the further back does something it's probably because there is a limit of how far forward the camera can be

@faint shell Camera placement for generic avatars is broken. Currently it is only possible to move the camera up and down.
Either move the camera up above the avatar, or enable backface culling on the mesh.
dull umbra
That would work.

autumn plover
so im working on a 4 legged creature model
what do i need spefically for the animation contoller
or in the controller?
faint shell
you need to have a rigged model
autumn plover
well of course
iv got base stuff
im on about the contoller its self
nothing else
im sorta used to unitys animation controller system
faint shell
you need to make some animations like idle, walk.. there are some tutorials on youtube how to use the animation tool in unity
autumn plover
do you need a walk for each direction
as my model that i did has a run and walk
:T
in one direction
faint shell
most easy is to make a walk forward and backward
left and right don't need a special animation
autumn plover
im guessing the animtions need to move the root bones
faint shell
yes
faint shell
when you animate you need to use the bones
autumn plover
i mean for movement
so like moveing the root bone for a direction
forwards back ect
faint shell
yes but you need to record this with unity and make keys
autumn plover
oh
ok
il go do that in blender
unless it needs a special type of easing
or whatever
autumn plover
how this for move speed? https://puu.sh/yWog9/8cba299b2e.gif

does anyone have any ideas if there's any way to spawn an object locally? Or something similar like setactive(f) or !enable the colliders of an unowned obj?
would be a HUGE optimization boost if I could somehow do that.
cause each deck costs about 20 frames (for me at least)
because of the colliders
well, moreso the colliders being stacked I think is causing it. (yes they're set to triggers in the deck)

@warm niche https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi7i4sF_BgQ

@warm niche Not that I was able to find in my own experiments. However, you might be able to get something to work if you used world space particles instead of trails.
warm niche
@dull umbra so what you're saying is that @runic mauve vid is useless?
For what i want that is
runic mauve
you can do with trail render
dull umbra
It uses a TrailRenderer, which is limited to a single line.
runic mauve
snail made shader
you can stop and draw with this
snail made shader then stop line draw when it get sent other side of the world
trail render use animation and shader made for it
@dull umbra watch the video
before think it wont lol

So if i follow the video it will work like that?

Then it should work now

and snail draw with all the time
i made perfab for my room with this it do the same thing https://i.gyazo.com/3c504b166ba1f35f38a906cdad03373f.gif

@runic mauve I don't see anything in the video or the shader code indicating that lines can be broken using this...

yea ik, i'm just not sure if the parameters are still set even if you can't move fingers because you don't have them
autumn plover
the avatar has paws
so
unless i make fake bones for it
then no
im guessing head movement is done automaticly even if its not a humanoid rig
?
golden valley
i don't think so. Just rotation of your avatar. There's not a way to tell the game what bone is your head if your using a generic rig
autumn plover
oh :/c
thats ok i guess
im mainly working on walking and idle
nothing else
maybe a emote or two
im guessing movementx and y are floats
im gonna give it a try on how it is atm
last parcel
@misty narwhal scale it on the respective axis to be thicker. If that doesn't change anything, you probably have to go into blender and drag the vertexes a bit towards the front. You could also try to use the cubed's paradox flat lit toon shader and play with the outline setting (0- 0.002, sth inbetween), but if it has no depth it might not change anything, didn't use 2d chars yet
autumn plover
tested it and it kinda works
it didnt exit the walk though
and dint work on run

random question: in Unity can you use the first UV channel as the lightmap channel, similar to Unreal?

look at the profiler

if you them to be diffrent kinds of movement just do for a couple and make another and do it for other couple

There's some overhead, so one single script is prefered. If you need to, go ahead and use more for other chains, but keep it reasonable.

it's not possible for other players to see them anymore. Only you can see them.
The way it works is they have a camera and a render texture. If the camera isn't active the render texture still displays the last thing written to it, so you position the camera and deactivate it to take a picture

Too much work involved on fixing this next project i'm doing. Lot's of one sided glass walls connected to each other. I used a double sided shader to fix the visual problems but placing box colliders on each wall would takes weeks for me to do, not to mention performance issues. So i'm just going to leave it without colliders so people can walk though the glass. Seems to be the best solution. There's 50+ doors too, would be daft to put teleporters on each one.

Quick question about particles, does anyone know if its possible to add an object or something to particles? I have some particles set to float around like fairies, just I'm trying to figure out a way to add wings to them, to give them a nice final touch, just hoping I dont have to model my own particle for it
warm niche
I have 300+ chairs so i'm going to have to pick the best ones, unless someone knows a way. It's not as simple as putting an onEnterTrigger because the trigger turns off when you sit down, creating all sorts of problems. My museum is set up to turn off/on the chair script component when you go through a door, this is not possible on a large map such as this with lot's of chairs.
dull umbra
@warm niche Add an animation to the default hand gesture that sets the TrailRenderer's Time variable to 0. This will immediately erase the entire trail.
warm niche
Thank you very much.
dull umbra
@flat bloom Further expanding on what I mentioned before, I would add 2 OnBirth sub-emitters to your fairy particles. Each one would emit a single oriented quad particle that would rotate up and down to simulate wing beats.
Although IIRC OnBrith sub-emitters don't support burst emission, so you may have to get a little bit creative using continuous emission and limited lifetime particles.
flat bloom
@dull umbra Sweet thank you I'll try that out! I have some wings on now with sub emitters, my only issue now is the scaling, they look good up close, but seem like the wings take over in size the further out you go, is there any way I can keep the size constant with the particle instead of how close the player is to the particle?
@dull umbra This seems to be my main issue at the moment
dull umbra
@flat bloom To get a fixed size, set the Max Particle Size under the Renderer tab to some large value. Then scale the particles to your desired size.
flat bloom
@dull umbra Thank you! (:

Can you explain the issue real quick? what kinda effect is the main 1 and what should the subs do
Nvidia graphics update just crashed my unity before I saved T.T
flat bloom
so basically the main particle is just a ball of light that floats around, the sub particles are just particles that look like wings, and are attached to the main particle, Basically I'm trying to make an ocarina of time type fairy that floats around
but when they float around
the wings and the main particle seperate and go different directionjs
atomic shuttle
Navi? or w/e
flat bloom
yeah
frosty nova
@warm niche for your many chairs, you ever think to put them into groups with an empty object and disable them all via that one main parent object?
atomic shuttle
hmm let me poke around real quick
You can see the wings so its not an issue of your max particles
Since sub emmiters take on the shape on the parent, why not just put 2 emmiters on the object thats supposed to move
and dont make the particle systems rely on eachother, but a root object
narrow token
Would it be possible to make a cape that's longer that my avatar "trail" along the ground? It doesn't need to literally do it but it'd be nice to give off that effect.
flat bloom
@atomic shuttle Yeah in total the main particle and wings are a total of 3 particles, and how would I go about doing that? would I still be able to get it to float around randomly like normal particles can?
atomic shuttle
Ah, not sure, I know sub emmiters are pretty wonky, but maybe you just have to make a sphere. remove the renderer, and put a animation on it that just moves around
and just make the emmiters child of that
fair nest
Does somebody know how to make this effect?
I think it was possible with cube's rainbow shader

No. Do lights need those as well so everyone sees them in the same state? I have a trigger set to turn them on and off, but people have still been seeing them in different states even with object syncs.

There is a synchronize URI option on the web panel already and I think they see what I'm doing.

For performance reasons i usually set the chairs to 'advanced mode', 'local' instead of 'AlwaysBufferOne'. Proximity of 1. Not recomended to have too many chairs in a scene (30 should be fine). Don't use a local SetGameObjectActive' on them, seems to cause a bug where you can't get out of seat, instead, disable the scripts using a local SetComponentActive.

I'm running into issues with Unity freezing/locking up when I'm editing avatars. Either the interface will become completely unresponsive, or it will go blank. Weirdly, I can still hit CTRL+S to save when this has occured. I've reinstalled Unity and created a new project, but the problem still persists. Does anyone have any ideas?
dreamy dagger
@atomic shuttle buffer your input to the trigger. AKA, trigger a trigger that triggers your spawn trigger on Enable so it can't be repeated
then make sure you clean that up and reset that object to false so you can do it all again
probably the trigger you spawn things with would be the best to turn the spawner itself off
so, to reiterate, Input(collision, interaction, etc. Disable Input here)->CustomTrigger(sets object active)->OnEnable(send spawn RPC and disable this object. Either Re-Enable input here or through other means)
if you are doing input based on collision you will have to buffer that too
and do a handshake with the thing you are colliding with
which is a whole other mess of code

is there any way to bake the Pose to a static object and have the mesh collider work? when i use mesh Filter and regular renderer, it only shows up in Tpose... I assume I need to pose it in Cinema4d, but then I would have to Export the Terrain as a Reference, so what would be the best way to get a mesh collider on this model so people can jump on it

Does anyone know what and how to solve this problem? Mesh 'ClinkerNov17/Clinker_Base_26Oct2017' has no normals. Recalculating normals.
I get a preview of the image fine, but when I place it in the scene, it's not there

quick question with particles, I made a flamethrower, and it all works great, but I want the flames to collide with the world as well, does anyone know why when I turn collisions on the flame shoots out about an inch then shoots off upwards or in some random direction? I cannot for the life of my figure out why its doing this
dull umbra
@flat bloom Very likely you have an errant collider that your flames are running into. Double check to ensure your avatar doesn't have any colliders near where the flames are appearing. Also check that the size of the colliders for the individual flame particles isn't too large. Finally, if you want the particles to get destroyed when they hit a wall instead rebounding, then set the lifetime loss to 1.

@warm niche you can pose it in blender etc then that wouldnt be an issue

@warm niche I'd say use box collider and place/scale them in a proper way.
Maybe if you move it in the configure window to the position you want and click apply. But I'd go for the box collider.
lucid flax
@flat bloom That's because collision is world space (for all intents and purposes) and world space simulation on bones doesn't work well with the IK. Unfortunately there's no good way to replicate the effect you want.
What's happening is the particles are colliding with the floor because that's where it thinks it is.

@warm niche https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/SL-CullAndDepth.html Take a look at this link. You'll have to create a custom shader and modify the "Cull" value to "Front" if you only want to render the inside or "Off" if you'd like to render both sides.
@ me if you need more help :)

How do you toggle an object from visible to invisible and so forth by clicking on an object?
@warm niche VRC_Trigger on the object you click on and then drag and drop the object that needs to be affected
no clicking area to add?
@warm niche you can adjust the proximity i believe

How would I go about creating an ocean like that which is in the map Uganda. It seems tobe a Terrain , underneath a plane? That is patterned and translucent, and has a foam an all the water where the island touches. :< I mostly have everything down but this.
warm niche
@warm niche the area depends on the object you apply the trigger on i think

I'm dying not being able to understand how. 😦

@warm niche Hey, So I have a bird that flies with a seat attached, and it all works great, but the game cant seem to keep me synced with the seat so I find myself floating off to the side of the object most of the time. Is there a better way to make the player locked onto the chair in the object?
warm niche
@atomic shuttle No.. its a vrchat issue it happens everywhere else.. happens on all my rides too.. the one thing ive found that helps is rigidbody.. but with rigidbody you cant exactly link children to parent with it enabled because things parented like seats to chairs as an example just fall through.. the easiest way ive found is colliders main place holder for seats and rigidbody then works but doesnt make the physics engine go crazy keeps chairs in place and stabilises movement.. but when it comes to us flying out with 1st person camera.. thats a vrchat thing.. for some reason.. we all have it right now.. i will work on a fix in the meantime i believe i may know how to fit it.. but it will take some experimenting as usual.

does anyone knows how do i remove the 1 min freezed in place of the emotes? I need to use emotes on that menu, and move freely, and don't actually freeze my head or body in one place...

@timber musk link me your world id so i can create a portal from my world to yours, we should link all theme park worlds together on a great chain to make fun ever-lasting.
how would i go about using colliders to make my helicopter float?

Anyone have thoughts on why my triggers seem to happen multiple times based on the amount of people in world? Ive tried local and AlwaysBufferOne and I have the spawning happening on enable... so how does it spawn more

@warm niche you can just set the origin for your model in blender to like, a few meters below the actual mode
Much easier imo

@warm niche
In the Project window, Right click. Select Create>Shader>Unlit Shader. Name it whatever you would like.
Now that you've made a custom shader We can create a material to use this shader.
In the Project window, Right click. Select Create>Material. Name it whatever you would like.
With your new material selected, Look at the Inspector window. Right underneath the Name is a drop down menu. From there, you can select Unlit>(whatever you called your new shader)
Now you can select the texture and drag the material onto your object in the scene.
After that, you can double click the new shader in the Project window and it should open up your prefered editing program.
With the code in view, find the line "LOD 200"
Hit enter, and on this new line Type "Cull Off"
Save the file and go back into Unity. The object should update and you should be able to see the texture on both sides.
Rendering something different on either side is a tad more complex but still possible. Let me know how this turns out first.

i'll ask here... why are my convex mesh colliders no longer colliding with the floor, when i'm using rigidbodies? i can't tell what i'm doing differently.
barren lantern
Hey, I'm having a Unity issue, and I have no idea why it's happening. I can't configure the rig for any avatar in the editor; it used to work, but for seemingly no reason in particular, clicking the "Configure..." button to set bones just causes Unity to hang for a few seconds, then select the avatar in the project folders without actually opening it to edit. This happens with any model, even ones that used to work fine. I've completely uninstalled and reinstalled Unity, as well as created a new Project, and it's still happening.

@warm niche refer to the rules neaxt to development-advanced
@warm niche if you hold down right click you can rotate the camera and you can scroll through the space using the middle mouse button
summer eagle
is there a unity setting where i can adjust the hand alignment of my avatars hands to the vive controllers? Its currently at an obnoxious angle that makes my real hands bend at awkward angles just to make the avatar look like its holding its hands straight. I cant find settings anywhere.
I can trick the bone sets to be at the 90 degree difference, but they are still placed at the base of the controllers rather than the tips.

Has anyone had issues with a large complex world + many pickupable objects? I found when profiled that Physics, related to the pickup rigidbodies, was eating a good chunk of CPU time. Causing the world to drop to about 30 frames. Has anyone solved this problem for themselves? To achieve decent performance in complex and large interactable worlds?
dreamy dagger
@burnt knot how massive? like how many interactables and how large is your map
sick shuttle
what water shaders are people using? The one I have on my old map has a weird camera
so it changes when i turn my head and shows two different views in each eye
dreamy dagger
I had tried with maybe a hundred? just make them all box colliders, it will help some.
unless there are ones that really wouldn't look right with box coliders, then try adding mesh ones.
for the large map problem I just used occlusion baking. if you are indoors you can use occlusion areas as well
that is, if it is a series of rooms. or even if you have an open world with some interiors you can occlude the interiors.

Is there support for depth layered multiple cameras in vrchat ? I know/heard that 5.6+ does support it on the VR_camera component [using depth attributes]
[Wanted to use a small scale scene as a 3d skybox scaled up via 2nd camera, it's a gag used a bit in flight sims/ space games]
burnt knot
@dreamy dagger I'm not sure. Maybe a couple hundred, I didn't count. They don't use anything but box colliders. Maybe afew with sphere colliders. No mesh colliders.
Rendering isn't the bottleneck. Occlusion culling was fine, the Unity3D profiler indicates it's a physics issue.
dreamy dagger
okay if you are going into the hundreds then yea it will be slow
without custom scripting it is much harder to optimize that many objects
burnt knot
Well largescale or complex worlds need to support many objects. I imagine others will also run into this issue at some point. You're probably right though, custom scripting could solve this issue. Since you could ditch the rigidbodies and implement a less heavyweight pickup solution.
dreamy dagger
I agree with you as I too am trying to scale my worlds up, I just don't know of a way to optimize it through the components alone
usually at that scale you would just use some kind of dynamic occlusion to only process ones near players
I mean idk if you could add a collider to the players but maybe that could work? Just have big spheres turn on the rigidbody and collider
burnt knot
Mhmmm, I only had about 20 minutes to think of a solution for this problem due to the 2am UTC cutoff, which I think I missed anyway, so I haven't come up with a way to deal with it yet. I highly doubt there is a way we as content creators can do right now. VRChat needs to support non-physics based pickups. Because Physics eating half of the frame time is bad. Or like you said, a way to stop calculating physics through a manual occlusion culling algorithm.
Hmmmm, you found that manually turning on the rigidbodies as you encounter them allowed you to support hundreds of objects? That's interesting, I'll have to check that out.
I don't think Rigidbody can be enabled or disabled though 😦
It doesn't appear to matter if they are kinematic either.

@warm niche the new sdk work fine

Oh, nobody can see my avatar, or go to any of my worlds except me

Hey anyone have any thoughts on how to use different pickups with different objects? because all pickups need that special pickup layer so every pickup triggers stuff..
Or more so the layer of the object is overridden by the pickup layer causing all collider triggers to look for a pickup to trigger

just login issues not uploading issues

My VRC SDK is logged in to the servers but when I go to upload it tells me to log in again, but you can't while you're trying to upload.
Also my character randomly broke in the last half hour, like the custom anims lost some properties somehow, without any update of the avatar. Very strange behavior both in game and out of game the last half hour.
Ok for some reason it is only an issue in one of my scenes, wtf?

Is there any tutorial on how to correctly use the VRC_AudioBank script? I can't seem to get a hang of it :(
I've added a trigger, an audio source, told the trigger to activate the audio source but where does the Audio Bank actually go? How does it trigger the random sounds I've set?

Is there a way for a world creator to allow others to upload to their world ID? Because we're working together on a map and I'd love to test it inside VRChat but whenever I do so it'll launch it in VR and not Desktop mode.

Just detach the world I'd and upload it
It will be a separate world, but it will allow you to upload

need to make new ID because if people were apply overwrite other people id it be Big headace
@restive kindle in the script channel there fourm in the pinned only info we have there going use play maker it cost $65
in asset store
mostly like close beta be first for playmaker wont see public for while
till it get out all the bugs

Playmaker allows for visual scripting, I'm just wondering if they are going to support additional functionality with custom scripts in some way, like maybe they mention it in a blog post or something.
