I'm trying to atlas the textures for the house I'm trying to import, but for some reason when I atlas it with Cats, the texture ends up having a massive area of completely empty space. Is there any fix for this?
near escarp
Add more textures in your atlas or scale up some of the textures
it only uses the resolution of the images that exist, so if it doesn't fill up the result atlas, then it'll be transparency leftover

not sure i can ask at this time of night but ive ran into a very weird problem, i have doors that teleport you when you walk into them but they arent rendering the mesh but still function
invisible doors more or less
bold ibex
Were they Visible before you added the VRC Trigger?
silent plinth
yes
and they were visible earlier but something has changed their mind
but i havent touched them since i placed them
bold ibex
Is Mesh Renderer Checked?
bold ibex
Does the trigger still work?
silent plinth
lemme try quick, its been a long night when a simple fix could've helped >_<
tried 2 different things and nothing
dusk sapphire
does it still show up in your editor in play mode?
dusk sapphire
can you show a screenshot of the components on the door
silent plinth
wait hold on...i think i cracked the code
it changed the door from default layer to...mirror
right
thats exactly what i wanted
silent plinth
well there you go
thank you for the help both of you
unity is an absolute nightmare sometimes
dusk sapphire
you generally do want on enter trigger colliders on mirror reflection layer so they don't interfere with interacts, pick ups and raycast
so they should be on their own object, and not on the actual meshes
silent plinth
ill keep that in mind, im very new to world modeling
so anything is appreciated
thank you
lunar gale
so having a very odd and frustrating bug for uploading worlds console has not errors dosn,t say if its conflicting with anything but when i join the world it immediately blacks the screen and sends you home and now its ses its 200mb map when i know its 30mb with all the lighting baked even.
iv tried sdk2 and sdk 3 udon same results i prefer using sdk2 for the world.
dusk sapphire
import https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit it automatically detects and helps fix common issues
also I hope you didn't install both sdk2 and 3 into the same project
dusk sapphire
does it say the build was successful?
lunar gale
yes
i try to join the world it crashes you and sends you home theres literally nothing in this world
dusk sapphire
is your world public?
lunar gale
no i wont public it till i can get it to work for my self
dusk sapphire
put your vrchat logs into https://nyanpa.su/vrchatlog/ and see if it says any errors when trying to load your map
lunar gale
uh remind me how to get logs again havnt had to do that in a year or 2
dusk sapphire
also if you can, a screenshot of the vrworldtoolkit debugger
instructions are on the site
lunar gale
models are way more simple and never had issue with those but updating a avatar maps been a living hell right now
still dont know whats causing it to be over 200mb when the file of the map its self is 10 to 20 mb
but yes no visalbe errors in it
dusk sapphire
that build window doesn't look correct at all
i suspect you do have errors in your console
is that the latest version of the debugger?
and sdk?
dusk sapphire
can you show a screenshot on the console in unity
dusk sapphire
hit play
lunar gale
sure
moment hit build so now i have to wait till i can cancel it now
just one error on a simple button in scene
dusk sapphire
yeah that doesnt look right, restart the unity editor and hit play again
sometimes the console doesn't work right
also do you have any unity store assets in that project?
things known to cause issues are light probe placer, all sky

is there more?

For the purpose of film and for my favorite YouTubers too who would like to film in the Backlot of vr Hollywood
lunar gale
thats literally all thats there
dusk sapphire
have you gotten your vrchat logs yet
lunar gale
no i have not ill have to figure out how to get em then
dusk sapphire
the page i linked you tells you exactly where they are
compact garden
Aw crap, dose anyone know what version of unity works for vrchat?
dusk sapphire
it might just be faster if you dm me that world's id so i can quickly look
dusk sapphire
Aw crap, dose anyone know what version of unity works for vrchat?
2018.4.20f1
compact garden
Thx
lunar gale
how would you even check a none public world
k ill loading into world see if i get a new log
okay got it put it in the log thing you suggested
what am i looking for
lunar gale
dusk sapphire
yeah thought so
your build failed, and it uploaded the last thing that was built successfully
lunar gale
i see an old id there which i dont use
dusk sapphire
i see you have a 200mb public avatar world and thats what got uploaded instead
lunar gale
well im not using same id or same unity prodject all clean unity file
so i dont under stand y its showing my old id ?
dusk sapphire
builds are stored in a temp folder
it uploaded the last successful built thing there
if the toolkit didnt pick this up it means there are some scripts causing errors in your project
what other 3rd party assets do you have?
lunar gale
maybe just poiyomis but i'm not even using it in there just standard shaders and bake lighting i haven't even put pedestals yet sinc enothing sbeen working
lunar gale
yeh i keep up to date with that one
i can remove it i guess i dont need it
but thats it i have tool kit sdk2 and a model
dusk sapphire
and just to check, unity 2018.4.20f1?
lunar gale
yes its current version
dusk sapphire
try hitting build and upload and see if any more errors show up
dont upload, just get to the upload screen
lunar gale
just get the trigger warning
compact garden
Wait so that version doesn't work??
lunar gale
i dont have issues uploading avatars so maybe i can some how wipe world temp files
dusk sapphire
no that is the correct version
you can try clearing them, they're in %TEMP%/DefaultCompany i believe
but you're likely just going to get a different error instead when trying to upload
are you sure you don't have anything else installed?
maybe try reimporting the sdk
dusk sapphire
does the toolkit say anything different now?
compact garden
Have you guys ever heard of 3d warehouse sketchup? Cause I wanna Barrow there 3d model for buildings and props
Not to mention unload it to unity
lunar gale
well re imported tool kit
now its saying this
wont let me bak occlusions either now
dusk sapphire
reimport the sdk if you havent
lunar gale
have i rebooted unit y now theres only this warning
since i removed all my triggers and shaders
dusk sapphire
you didnt need to remove triggers
lunar gale
well im stumped its way late at night now been trying to upload a box basically for 3 hrs
dusk sapphire
at this point just reimport the sdk and try uploading again
i dont see anything that should be wrong either
lunar gale
i need rest for work now but thanks for trying to help im tired and frustrated need to sleep on it for now
re-imported sdk still same thing still so ill sleep on it will update if i ever get it to work ill stick with models for now

I have another question regarding what might be possible with the engine. I would like to pilot a ship with multiple people on board. My past experience has lead me to believe that it's difficult. Avatars tend to rubber band and unless you are seated, it becomes a somewhat vomit inducing voyage. However, what if the only object you could technically be on is the ship and you were able to move the world beneath you. Would this be possible?
graphic for reference
errant beacon
That would be possible yes, but keep floating point stuff in mind
you might want to look into 3D skyboxes for that? (basically have a tiny version of your map that's blown up in the skybox that you move to "fly" the ship around, rather than moving a massive full-scale world model instead) o:

Ah - in that case yeah, normal/height/AO/etc maps are def allowed in VRChat lol
would recommend keeping your textures below 256 pixels for pretty much everything except normal maps, which shouldn't go past 512 imo
odd rock
Oh god
errant beacon
128 and 256 for albedo/color and normal maps respectively might be a better target actually
Sounds low, but you'd be surprised at how much detail fits in 256 pixels lol
texture sizes bloat map files v quick
also, keep the Crunch Compression option in mind in the texture's settings too! c:
won't reduce memory overhead, but it can reduce filesize drastically
grand remnant
odd o:

I deleted UdonSharp and reimported the package, looks like its better - ill test that, thank you
odd rock
hmmm I have used crunch compression before.. I am using 16x16 maps atm...
each pixel is a color, then i just put the quad in the proper pixel
errant beacon
oh in that case you're fine lol
odd rock
thanks Zuvali, I will consider 512 for the normal when I go to build the world I'm thinking about.
errant beacon
yw! would probably recommend 256 with 512 as a cap for normal maps specifically
random owl
That's still honestly horrible general recommendation
errant beacon
I mean, with albedo maps at 128 or lower, leaving the normal maps at a higher res seems like a decent idea to me o:
absolutely wouldn't recommend going past 512 though, as 256 would def be good for pretty much anything
random owl
Any kind of recommendation that you give to someone without having any idea of their world style is horrible
512 is way too low for any properly atlased pbr textures
errant beacon
should clarify then lol - for tiling, repeated PBR textures with seperate (non-atlassed) maps, 128/256 then imo
odd rock
hmm
errant beacon
for atlassed stuff though yus, def more pixels to actually fit the detail in
random owl
That still depends on how their textures are made
If someone is using asset store stuff or making their textures in substance painter that recommendation does not work
errant beacon
sorry, just recommending what works for me - def lots of ways to optimize textures lol
odd rock
Well I use substance painter, but not for this application
random owl
Yeah but the point is that you should not recommend something that depends on 100 of different factors
Like let's take this vhs cassette for example at 1k texture size and crunch compression the textures are 150 kb
odd rock
Ok. I will work on some ideas i have on this end. I think there are valid points made regarding compression and load.
random owl
Now let's put it down to 256 sure it's 125 kb less but it's also unreadable
random owl
Ok. I will work on some ideas i have on this end. I think there are valid points...
Always set the import settings based on the individual texture as low as it goes depending on how much you are willing to compromise or how low it goes without losing any quality
odd rock
Aim for the smallest file size I can get without sacrificing quality.
errant beacon
^ the jist of what I was trying to say yes, sorry lol
idle harness
hey, i got a problem when i try to upload my world, the upload menu doesnt appear. when i click build and publish it it goes throught the process and then just takes me to the main camera with no menu to input the name or upload the image. and it not giving me any errors in the console either
random owl
https://github.com/oneVR/VRWorldToolkit/releases
Import this and check VRWorld Toolkit > World Debugger from the top bar
idle harness
already did
this is what it says
maybe its the lights?
but when i bake them, they just stop emitting light
random owl
Can you show the settings on the camera that's view you see in the game window?
idle harness
this?
random owl
Hmm yeah -1 shouldn't overrender the upload camera
Try to upload again and then check if the upload screen is spawned in properly at the bottom of your hierarchy
idle harness
nothing appears at the top of the hierarchy when i try to upload
idle harness
nope nothing at the bottom either
random owl
That's a mysterious one then since there's no errors and nothing get's spawned 🤔
Anything interesting in the warnings?
idle harness
oh well i just tried to delete the sdk and re import it, and now when i try to upload it i am getting some errors
maybe it just didnt show them before
random owl
Unity do be like that sometimes
idle harness
random owl
Did you move your VRCSDK folder?
idle harness
In my file explorer?
random owl
Well in general inside your assets
Like is it in the place it originally imported into
idle harness
yeah i havent moved it
random owl
Show me that Assets/VRCSDK/Dependencies/VRChat folders contents
random owl
Now the good question is why does it think that the folder doesn't exist
idle harness
is that why its not working? hmm idk
is there a way to manually input the path it needs?
random owl
It wouldn't really solve the actual problem here
Can you clear the console and try to build again and see if that error comes up again?
random owl
That one is just a normal one the sdk throws by default
idle harness
oh so we got nothing to go off?
idle harness
probably let me go check if they've updated since i last dowloaded it
random owl
You can try making a empty scene adding just the vrcworld prefab and trying to upload that to see if it's just something in your current scene stopping it
Then if that also doesn't work you can try making a new empty project and seeing if you can upload there
If you have some external assets that aren't namespaced correctly or such they can create weird issues like this
idle harness
ok so i added the uppdated sdk and for some reason it had compiling errors with ur toolkit, so after i deleted that it still doesnt work but im not getting any errors either
random owl
I had to release a patch for the latest sdk so I guess you were on a older version of my tools and sdk
idle harness
and idk if this is any help but the list that shows the name and stuff doesnt appear
random owl
That's alright I think it just got lost from the cache or something while you updated
You can try making a empty scene adding just the vrcworld prefab and trying to upload that to see if it's just something in your current scene stopping it
Then if that also doesn't work you can try making a new empty project and seeing if you can upload there
Try these steps next ^^
I'm going towards it being some random script with some assets you imported breaking things
idle harness
yeah it does work on the empty scene
cerulean echo
this why i never import scripts wen i use assets from store i all ways test stuff in a test world
random owl
Okay if it works in a empty scene 🤔
idle harness
ill try and delete the external assets to see if that works
random owl
Then it's something in the scene itself
I would love to know what it is so I can add a check for it
idle harness
yeah ok ill tell u if i find out
cerulean echo
i hope you find the problem
idle harness
so i've deleted all the external assets but it still doesnt work
random owl
Duplicate your scene, try to upload the duplicated scene, then start cutting out game objects and trying to upload again
idle harness
how would i duplicate my scene?
random owl
Select it in your assets and ctrl + d
You can just do the half and half to find it quick
Start by deleting the top half of gameobjects see if it uploads
If it doesn't do the same again
That helps you narrow down slowly where in the hierarchy the problem is residing
idle harness
well just to see if it was an object i first just deleted everything except for the game object that had the vrcprefab and the spawn point and it still doesnt upload
so it seems its not a object
random owl
Can you check the meta file for the scene?
idle harness
where is that?
random owl
You need to go trough file explorer to the assets folder
And there will be a file named the same as the scene with .meta at the end
idle harness
theres no file with the name of my world but there is a _lastbuild.meta

Uploaded a world fresh but keep falling through the ground. I searched and tried what I could, but I can't figure out how to resolve the issue. If I put Respawn Height Y at -100, I endlessly fall.

Hi, I want to create a comfortable world in VR, how much fps should I get?
I think that depends on how many polygons are on the screen at any given time coupled with the resolution of the textures you decide to use.

For VR, aim for the highest you can get - your FPS is locked to your headset's refresh rate in VRChat, too

search for the vrc mirror prefab from the sdk and drag it into your scene

but since i've uploaded it on community labs, does it replace that world with the newer version? @dusk sapphire

yeah, it just updates it
as long as you keep the same world id in pipeline manager

i added a song for my audio source, is there a way to add multiple song files?

you can use the VRC_Audio Bank component for it

how do i make a spawn with the scene descriptor
dusk sapphire
the vrcworld prefab already has the scene descriptor set up for you with itself as the spawn

you just need a transform in the spawns slot, you can use the object your scene descriptor is on as one
then place it wherever you want the spawn to be

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrc_panorama Seems to load images from either a texture or a URL, though I personally haven't used it - is def interesting though! o:
pure kraken
It looks like there is a source of light there but there isnt..there is emissive light on the far right as you can see but thats far away from where that random patch of light is in the middle
dusk sapphire
vrc panorama is mainly used as a means to load images remotely, or as its original intended use, for panoramas. not a need if it's part of the map.
errant beacon
ah
like Temporal said though, a quad with the image on it is probably sufficient
haughty pewter
temporal when you mean by making a quad, are you talking about creating a new single object then applying the texture?
dusk sapphire
If you have baked lighting sometimes the generated light map uvs have areas too close to each other which can cause a bleeding effect.
dusk sapphire
temporal when you mean by making a quad, are you talking about creating a new si...
Yes
If you really want to optimize you'd make your map in blender and add your images accordingly with your own uvmaps but this is a bit out of scope and a much longer discussion.
haughty pewter
okay, ive done that but then i duplicated the object, then im wanting to put a different picture on the duplicated object, but.. when i apply the different image, it also copies onto the original object for some odd reason

You need to make a separate material for each quad

Hello, I noticed something when creating a loop with a timer on the SDK, once in game and that we trigger this loop, at certain times it is not possible to stop it, obviously the speed of the loop is 0.03, but it should still be possible to stop it.

If you have baked lighting sometimes the generated light map uvs have areas too ...
I increased the padding to 4 which solved the random patch of light there, but there is still that hard line that seems to be dividing, since they were originally 2 separate objects then I merged them via probuilder

So I'm trying to make an item pickupabble that has an emitter attached to it. Is this just not possible?

mild spade
By emitter, do you mean a particle ?
misty wave
Yeah
I even disabled the emitter and it's not letting me pick it up, I'm not even sure what's going on with this item, how weird
misty wave
No, and I've not done anything different than what I've done for all of the other items I have that are able to be picked up fine. Dropped in the prefab, added the PickUp and Udon component... This one is just being very weird
dusk sapphire
so the emitter which is a child of the object moves, but not the object itself?
can you show a screenshot of the components on the object?
misty wave
Now with the emitter disabled it just grabs nothing... the collider/click here to pick up box is working fine but it's just grabbing nothing and leaving the actual model there
Yeah holdon one sec

A bit on the top got cut off as well

Probably a good thing to try. Looks like it's 3000 right now. So lower means lower, like, I should make it 2000 or 1000?
dusk sapphire
going that low would cause other issues, i'd just try -1 (2999)
it was just a shot, its likely its just that sprite shader doesnt work well with the interact highlight

Oh it looks like the dropdown gives me some sensible options. I'm gonna try setting it to Geometry, which is 2000

i am animating an object that will play through a flying away animation when the world loads (to make it seem like its just dropped you off) but i encountered a small bug on the animation and i am new to the animations tab so have no idea why its doing it, but in short, the engine should rotate upwards slightly, but instead, the engine spins a entire circle then goes to that point

Tried 2001, 2450, 2451, 2800, 2900, 2999, a couple others. Some of those values appear to make the sprites render earlier than the skybox. At least, they don't appear at all, in which case I can see the highlight I'm looking for. But when they do render, they cover the highlight

Well you can't modify the stuff that vrchat has set themselves since it will just get replaced by the actual one ingame and the sdk will complain unless you edit the scriptable object that stores the correct values
But if you edit the collisions on your stuff that works ofc not sure which one you mean

does anyone know how to export a texture from Blender? im trying to get windows done for Unity, but when i import the entire building i have into Unity, the windows just come in as the default material
this is how it is in Blender, and how i want it in Unity
however, this is how it comes in as, in Unity
desert python
@verbal hare you have to tell the material to be transparent

thats what i did in Blender

no

I believe that is a shader specifically for blender. There are some "glass" shaders for unity that will give you a similar effect, but you will need to look for them. If you want a simple transparent-like-glass shader, you can use the default "transparent" included in the Standar shared with high smoothness

you probably want on network ready to be local rather than alwaysbufferone since its fires for everyone locally when they load in, and would cause the play rpc to fire every time someone joins for everyone. this repeatedly playing might also trigger a stop and play, and your empty on stop callback is probably throwing an error in the audiobank causing it to break.

Thanks 1. Damn. I've got an issue where a collider is attached to my hand and is not on the MirrorReflection layer, and is thus blocking the UI laser raycast. The collider is on the PickupNoEnvironment layer, because it kinda has to be. I already tried adding my own custom collision layer earlier, but that didn't work at all. I might be out of options with this.
Is there no way to modify a layer to allow the UI laser raycast through it?
dusk sapphire
what are you trying to do?
upper gate
It's a hand collider. I want to use it to push around objects on the Pickup layer, but not collide with the environment. So the walkthru layer won't work.
But because I'm attaching it directly to hand tracking location, the UI laser's raycast origin immediately collides with iti
dusk sapphire
ah
upper gate
I need something that
- Doesn't collide with Walkthrough
- Doesn't collide with the player
- Doesn't block UI raycast
I don't think any such thing exists outside of a custom collision layer, and those seem bugged. I made a layer that collided with nothing at all, and it still intermittently pushed my player around. Made a note to repro it and report it when I get some time.
dusk sapphire
to my knowledge mirror reflection is the only thing that doesn't block raycasts
and you cant modify collision matrix of layers used by vrchat
and I think that extends to any layer that interacts with the player layer
it might always be set to collide? could be wrong
I suppose the convoluted workaround to this would be to offset the colliders on your hands and the objects, and have them connected with position constraints to the real hands/objects
or you could sculpt a mesh collider for the hand precisely so that it leaves a hole just for the raycast to go through
would that work?
upper gate
I could make a mesh collider that just has a tiny hole where the UI laser can raycast through 🙃
dusk sapphire
yeah
upper gate
hahah
dusk sapphire
unless you have tiny objects that could go through the hole its not a problem
upper gate
Yeah....but I'd know what I did
dusk sapphire
the question is
upper gate
and I can't live with that shame 😂
dusk sapphire
is the positioning of the raycast relative to the bone position fixed? or does it scale with player size
upper gate
I don't think bone position is a factor. I'm tracking the controller tracking data, and I assume that's where the UI raycast starts.
dusk sapphire
hm
i've noticed its a bit different depending on your controller
hopefully its consistent
the controller to hands, not raycast
gleaming terrace
Im making a pool and I want to make it so when they dip there head under the water that it will get a screen effect, how do I get screen effects?
dusk sapphire
you put a post process volume encompassing the water
gleaming terrace
Oh? may I get a little more detail if its not to much to ask?
dusk sapphire
post processing is used to get full screen effects for worlds typically for things like colour grading, bloom, etc
you make post process volumes to tell unity where you want the effects to be at
typically people just check "global" to make it map wide
but you can make a volume where the effect will only turn on if you're in it
so you can make a volume that encompasses the body of water
and have effects that try to mimic underwater
like a bit of dof for blurriness, blue tinting, etc
gleaming terrace
Nice! Thank you so very much!
dusk sapphire
theres also a prefab you can use in the vrcprefabs database https://vrcprefabs.com/browse called immersive water if you're on sdk2
uses player tracking to more accurately turn on the effect, as well as some splash sounds iirc
gleaming terrace
Will check it out, again thanks a lot!

wraith mural
What's with unity making cameras cast light onto objects
casting this on metallic objects when theres no lights nearby
desert python
does the cam have a light source script for some reason?
desert python
thats odd, double check
make sure its not attached to anything with light sources as well
wraith mural
not seeing any lights attached to any cameras
One camera in scene and nothing, then doubling check the Vrcworld spawner and nothing
desert python
i mean, thats super weird, is it attached or has a mesh renderer? might just be reflecting that. if not. id just move that cam somewhere hidden
because i cant really think of anything else thatd cause that
random owl
Sounds like whatever environment reflections, skybox or reflection probes have something bright in them on one sight properly baked reflection probes should help
wraith mural
I thought it might have had something to with do with the reflection probes, so everything is currently disabled
huh
Its the directional lights
and changing their intensity doesnt do anything
ue and unity have a very way of lighting things im learning
Like how am I meant to light character models ambiently? Unity doesn't have a skylight object, so if I don't use directional lights character models end up dimly lit, and I can't have my point and spotlights running in real time or else it ruins performance
wraith mural
Do area lights even work in Unity? As I understand it, they are meant to project light straight forward, but they seemingly do nothing?
dusk sapphire
area lights are baked only
dusk sapphire
they wont show up unless you actually bake the lights
wraith mural
I have
dusk sapphire
are the objects set as lightmap static?
and if you want baked lights to affect dynamic objects and players, you need to have light probes

@thick flint If the builder is blank you may have two vrchat Sdk in and you may have to delete from folder system open file location and re insert the up to date sdk
The second sdk maybe hidden in another folder
Or re set world ID and re new the instance

Since you reinstalled the sdk might be looking for the executable in the wrong location change the client path in the sdk settings tab to point directly to the oculus VRChat.exe

Is your building a mesh that you imported, or did you build it by spawning 3D shapes in Unity?
verbal hare
imported
upper gate
You've got some options, then. You could add a component to the mesh called a "Mesh Collider" that will shape a collider exactly the shape as the mesh. Any polygon that's a part of the geometry will be a collision surface.
I don't know much about Mesh Colliders. They might be expensive physics-wise, and you don't have much room to change them
Your other option is to add a bunch of box colliders and change their dimensions to fit what you need. The easy way to do that is to add a bunch of 3D cubes, scale them how you want, and then just delete their mesh renderers so they're invisible
