Does Dynamic Starry Sky from asset store work with VrChat ?

Sheeeeesh any one, I need some advice or something 😄 . trying to make Toggable ...
For that I simply put two planes that will act as mirrors, one that reflect everything and one that reflect only the player layer and a few other things. One is disabled while the other is on and vice-versa. 3rd button turn both off.
It's a good 1st project to learn Udon

@tough vessel thanks mate 😄 . ill look into. and yeah im trying to learn it 😄

I forget, if you have two objects that have different materials but use the same texture, is the texture uploaded twice?
Or did VRChat/Unity understand that it's the same texture?
It understands it's the same tex right?
tough vessel
It depends, nothing forbids you to import the same image a few time when you think of it.
If you imported different models and each have their own folder with textures, you may have duplicates.
If both materials reference the same texture image however, you're only using one tex, I guess?
bold ibex
is it normal when you decimate an object that it increases world file size?

hi im having a problem where when i upload my world (which is private) and i go into the game and join the world it will download the assets (40.50 MB) and load the map and then after the loading it will turn black and instently bring me back to my home. so i cant even go into my own world. and i have reuploaded it and idk what the issue could be

Hmm yeah can't see much reason why it would be throwing you back home then that's almost all that might be going wrong with the world checked now.
Would be helpful to see the output log of loading into the world which is not so easy with Quest, you might want to try it on PC and see if the same happens.

You mean that when you create a canvas is giant? Set the canvas like this (yellow highlight) for first time set up, then use the Rect Tool (shortcut "T") to resize it to your liking.

lunar barn
So i need some help as of yesterday my world wouldnt show any of the new stuff i added when i updated it and when i do a build test it just goes to the previous version

how would i do that?

by opening the unity console
near escarp
It's the tab next to assets
lunar barn
in project settings? or is it a different one?

In your main window
indigo fossil
When I Googled it before and after asking all I get are Unity forum questions about loading assetbundles through scripts.
The upload process works fine until I click upload in the game tab. Any info changes (tags, player count, preview image) update but the content of the world does not. VRCSDK says the upload is successful but VRWorldToolkit says that the last build failed.
I don't get any errors about my scene in the console nor in VRWorldToolkit
I restarted my computer and that is still the only error.
Again I have successfully uploaded the world before and I don't think I have imported anything significant since that would've caused the scene to break

Im not sure if this is the right channel but, I just want to clarify something.
When an avatar world that came out from community lab, is it because of vrchat staff checks it manually or is it because automated by the popularity of people visiting it

Well for the SDK being broken you would want to check what remains in your console after pressing clear on it once
worn elk
I have a question regarding nested objects:
I made an animation for an set of objects where they move around the map. However, the area where it moves around needs to be moved somewhere else in my unity project. Rather than re-do the animations for each object, is it possible to just nest those objects together in an empty game object and move that?
My worry is that the Z-axis coordinates are currently based on the global coordinates. Would putting them inside a "container" object "scale down" the Z-axis coordinates so that they are relative to the parent object? Or would I have to have animated them relative to the parent object in the first place?
worn elk
Basically, I animated something based on global transforms. Is there any way to convert those to local transforms based on the parent object?
not with scripting, just so that the keyframes match up
they are just playing an animation loop

i cant even get the example to work
The example uses the "StationGraph" script, try adding one (Also, SDK3 is Udon #udon-general )

So, I want to make a world on vrchat that have animals in it that can attack you when they see you and kill you u or hear you when you talk in the mic and if you stand still they won’t kill you and then they just run away.

subtle horizon
@near escarp I'm having troubles preparing to develop a forrest in low light for VRchat. Im not sure if I should buy a tree or two off speed-tree, and take that route, or utilize Unitys tree creator module.
any tutorial or recommendations I find online dont seem to take into account performance for VR, and I figure instead of digging to find out and making a mistake, id rather ask to see what the best route would be for production for vrchat.
its kind of hard to describe what I'm aiming to do, but im still in the preparation phase, and the use of the world will be in the vrcclub scene. im really stressing over optimization, but im also really keen on feel, and realism.
ive basically been told "buy a tree or two off speed tree, and just import that since it will handle all the LODs'" but I already have a collection of unitys tree creator trees, however my project cant utilize unitys terrain because I need a hole punched in the terrain and its not supported in 2018
TLDR: whats the best direction to take when developing a natural enviroment for vrchat?
near escarp
You can always do what you want on your terrain, and then export the terrain as a mesh once you're done and make holes in that ?
subtle horizon
I have a mesh for terrain ive made in blender, so the only reason I bring this up as an issue is that unitys terrain system lets me paint trees and grass
quiet juniper
Hey all, could i get some quick help??? I'm new to map making and all, but for some reason with a world i uploaded, I can't load into it. It always kicks me abck to my home world. I've tried uploading it as a new map a couple times, but it keeps throwing me out. Is this just vrchat, or is there something wrong with my world?????
green lagoon
I would suggest trying to upload a copy of the sdk demonstration map Twix that way you can check for something else being funny before debugging your map

https://unity.com/features/polybrush this might could help out for doing that
green lagoon
hope that works out for you
subtle horizon
my largest concern is how to go about foliage
quiet juniper
could make large amounts of grass in blender for the terrain you made in blender, since i dont think you wanna go copy paste grass lmao
Tree prefabs are easier to deal with
green lagoon
not that it would help on how to put together trees but I would suggest making sure you place your trees as prefab so you can easily swap out the trees to find what works out best for you
subtle horizon
gonna have to worry about LODs aswell
green lagoon
then yeah something like speedtree is probably easier to not have to worry about building those manually
subtle horizon
wallet go brr
green lagoon
or any free-to-download trees from the unity asset store that has lods would probably also work
subtle horizon
I have some trees I like, but they use unitys tree creator modual
and the LODs are only made using the terrain
quiet juniper
So I uploaded a test world and i managed to load into it, but i still cant load into my other map :///
green lagoon
quiet juniper

proven beacon
is there an issue with the SDK3.0? twice trying to install it on a fresh project and it just freezes after install
hollow fjord
@proven beacon that freeze might be unity re-importing the assets
it's pretty common for unity to be a huge derp when importing asset packages, can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 minutes to complete
even if it seems that it's not doing anything
proven beacon
@hollow fjord yeah I've had that before and worse cases have only been like 5 minutes, however certain this has been longer than 30 minutes, I'll set a timer now 🙂
hollow fjord
can try a slightly older version of the sdk if you want, still got it on my computer
proven beacon
can do if at the worse case 🙂
hollow fjord
there you go, happy world creating 😄

does anyone have a sugestion, or a Screenshot example for how far apart to make each area when setting up a large map?
glacial pond
does anyone have a sugestion, or a Screenshot example for how far apart to make ...
Moving things far apart won’t change anything. Just make sure to check stationary objects as static and then enable object occlusion so things will not render when not in view. This is not enabled by default.
Actually it’s preferable to not move things far apart, in addition to not helping occlusion, you just introduce float rounding errors at large distances from origin
white gulch
@glacial pond I set all static items to static, moved things closer. It just presist to render things outside the wall of structures or renders almost nothing. its a serious headache lol
glacial pond
After marking statics you need to hit bake on the object occlusion panel. You can then go to visualize, select a camera, and see what vanishes as you move it around
@white gulch
white gulch
Ive baked, i messed with the settings quite heres what im getting
camera is facing that bigger area still rendering it through numerous walls
@glacial pond
glacial pond
Try making an “Occlusion Area” cube around both of them. I believe they take higher priority over objects marked static
You’ll need to bake again after adding them
Then within a occlusion area, it will still check for static’s
Also be sure none of the objects in your scene have enormous bounding boxes that are extending into the other’s area
white gulch
ill look into doing those things thank you
brisk wharf
Something I do because I'm lazy:
- Make a huge static cube wall between those two rooms. It's important that it has a collider and non-transparent mesh I believe, but I could be wrong.
- Make the wall tall, wide, and deep
- Make the static wall have an "EditorOnly" tag so it's not in your final build
- Mark two occlusion area boxes around the two rooms like adeon mentioned
- Clear and re-bake occlusion data.
I find that without this, if you're looking at thin walls of your room in an angle, sometimes objects still pass into the overdraw that shouldn't. It's not ideal, but it's worked very well for me.
bold ibex
can someone explain how im getting a shadow with recieve shadows disabled
hollow fjord
can't you just add a baked point light? 🤔
bold ibex
it does nothing
hollow fjord
did you re-bake the lighting?...
bold ibex
i dont use baked lighting
only for light sources
as i said before, this model did not do this before on previous version
only after i changed it today it did this
bold ibex
i dont bake the lighting because of how massive this world is
it would take at least a day
hollow fjord
"Receive Shadows" will flag it to be excluded from receiving shadows DURING a bake
turning it off after a bake, doesn't do anything
bold ibex
again my lighting is not baked
hollow fjord
so all your lighting is realtime?
bold ibex
yes
with post
can you see why i dont want to bake the lighting?
i have occlusion culling baked and it works fine
but lighting baking would take at least a whole day
its not worth it
hollow fjord
well, putting the performance reasons aside, the only thing I could think about is either the reflection probes needing updating, which just means clicking on them and updating them
bold ibex
how do i do that is what i was asking
hollow fjord
just click on the probe that affects that area, the inspector has an "update" button
The other reason would be UV's but that's unlikely
hollow fjord
are you even using reflection probes?...
bold ibex
i honestly do not know
glacial pond
but lighting baking would take at least a whole day
Long bake times are usually indicative of something being set wrong, rather than scene complexity.
glacial pond
Avoid scaling things huge in unity. That’s the biggest cause of blowing up bake times
Huge objects should still be 1:1:1 scale in unity to avoid bake weirdness
Slight adjustments are fine, but if you have like 50:50:50 scale objects, it should probably be sized in blender instead
bold ibex

as i said after i made edits today it decided to randomly change its lighting
i didnt change any light sources or anything
this is what it should be
as you can see the lighting is even
i dont know what the fuck blender did to it
-w-
glacial pond
That’s a blender screenshot?
bold ibex

showing i didnt need to bake anything
it was fine before
im just trying to make it look like this again

this came back again
this one single mesh vanishes when i hit play

What is the criteria for flagging a world as having malicious avatars? Is it based on reports or automated?
Is it a matter of performance of the avatars? or are there other considerations?

It's just based on user reports, if you don't have anything like that in your world then you won't have anything to worry about usually and can ignore the tags.

It’s a unity asset. It is expected to be purchased and used in a game that will be sold by you for profit and the license provided and listing price reflects that.
In that context, the price is fair

usually what I do to fix that,
make sure to check any important errors that could stop it from working
because usually stuff like that could stop it from working
and if there aren't any, just press play, usually that gets it working for me

i did had a compile error
after i yeeted the udon audio link in
this is the error window
should i just throw audiolink out of there
see if it works after
ah
its audio link
where does one download udon sharp ?XD

here ill get a link to it
download this
not having it is probably the reason why its not working

theres many other methods. but dropbox seems to be the easiest

so it works
but then the second problem comes up
the video is laggier than a network connection thats 512kb/s

usually vrchat updates their list every 5 minutes
maybe wait, or check in the vrchat sdk if it shows up

alright

it's weird because it doesn't let me upload again until next week
try updating to the latest sdk of whatever it is, and try again?
was it sdk 2.0 or 3.0
okay so i apparently had 2gb of cache
so im just reinstalling it since its taking a bit too long
did that, cache was cleared
still had the same issue
probably also has to do with the fact the mp4 looks better than when i run it with a youtube link

it was 2.0 but i can't upload again since you only can upload a world once per week

audiolink version 0.2.3
ehhhhh close enough
assuming you have the latest udonsharp. then in the audiolink folder. and there should be a controller
drag that into the scene

and youre using the basic unity videoplayer?

yes
this would be just me xD
but i think it would be handy for dumb fucks like me

coming soon.... eventually..... acc i can’t remember if texelsaur is going to put the videoplayer in the official or not
desert python
is there a way to make music play after one song has finished
yes. but its going to require scripting that im not 100% on
desert python
but i think it would be handy for dumb fucks like me
so in the audiolink controller. there should be a thing called “audio link” and in its udon behave. should be an audio source slot. but that videoplayers audio source into that slot
desert python
try adding back in the “audiolink” script. thats weird
desert python
omg. i dont think you have udonsharp my dude lol

Yo, what’s the suggested poly limit on a VRchat world?
I’m trying to find out for a project I’m working on
solid atlas
i dont think it matters much if you can do model culling
so that when stuff aint seen
its not loaded
but dont take it from me
errant beacon
there isn't really a poly limit on worlds afaik, but just generally keep it reasonable
i.e don't use 1-million polygon rocks or something lmao
kind tide
Okie doke, thanks. My main worry is I have been working on terrain for scenery and the poly count for the terrain tile was 250,000 polys in total
solid atlas
my main world was 1.5 polies
for halloween
i got a slightly to high poly pumpkin
that even after decimating it
was to much xD
kind tide
I know I’ve gotten away with some pretty chonky statues before but had to use some special method to optimize them
This dude is 150,000 polys. Mind you this is the normal mapped one so it’s much more optimized than the raw statue would be
Even then your frames can chug if you look at it
solid atlas
why not....
have it only load when your close to it
that other wise its a heavily decimated version of it
errant beacon
i,e LOD
kind tide
I think LOD works in VRchat
solid atlas
i know it does
kind tide
I have it set as a collection of meshes that an on a special layer that keeps with from being rerendered in cameras/ mirrors and stuff
Though icarus here operates well in the world he is in. I’m more putting him here as an example because the terrain I’ve made is going to be much more of a monster to deal with.
Why can’t I post a picture of this?
errant beacon
Discord might be auto-flagging it as NSFW?
nonetheless as long as you've got culling set up and aren't rendering all 250k polys at the same time, it could be fine? o:
kind tide
Would it help to separate it into separate mesh sections? Or would that be worse? I’m not to knowledgeable on the culling options in unity. All I know is that I think they go by mesh
kind tide
Discord might be auto-flagging it as NSFW?
Guess it must fear the polygons
errant beacon
lmao
and I'm fairly certain it does it per-mesh, though I don't know what the overhead of rendering extra mesh renderers would be
could absolutely be super wrong on that though
kind tide
Yeah I’m probably gonna need a second opinion.

Is the mesh collider actually using the same exact mesh as the mesh renderers and are they on the same gameobject?
burnt pilot
I never messed with the mesh renderer
only mesh collider
both scripts are on the mesh itself not on a gameobject
let me make a gif
Let me know if I have to do something to mesh renderer @random owl
this issue is new to me
random owl
You have a mesh renderer without a mesh filter that's just nothing
Put the mesh collider where the meshes actually are
burnt pilot
and how do i do that, all the meshes i put into one, most of them
random owl
Well looking at this the meshes all look like to be under that parent object
burnt pilot
those are ones I made seperate because I won't be puting colliders on them / moving them around in the future probably
random owl
What I said still applies there is no mesh on that gameobject you are trying to put the mesh collider on so the scale is wrong you need to put it where the mesh actually is, I can't really properly tell you where you have your meshes from just those videos

how can I make an object collide with everything but the player
random owl
https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.4/Documentation/Manual/LayerBasedCollision.html
The Pickup layer should already do what you want
surreal nebula
Whats a good texture size to use on pc. would 4k for everything be too much or some 2k and 1k?
green lagoon
I guess I would also depend on what kind of textures they are as well like tiling versus unique unwrapped or for single object or texture atlases
idle jolt
How do I make a convincing train world? A friend told me to make animations for rocks and cliffs, but it can’t be that simple right?

the disadvantage of moving the train is you can't really access your menu or walk around the train comfortably

No you don’t understand whatsoever.
The train isn’t moving. The environment is. To give the illusion that the train is moving.

well you can't get off the train if you move the environment
because the environment would be moving away from you standing on the ground

Some packages are either outdated or just aren’t compatible with VRC worlds so it’s best not to use anything other than the SDK itself.

frozen tundra
okay so I want to try and make my own small vrchat world just for fun to try out different things. I'm already a programmer who's able to write code and I've already tried to make minor projects in unity before (not vrchat related). so having to use Udon looks very similar to visual scripting which I'm honestly not a big fan of. so my question is should I use SDK2 or SDK3? is it really worth it using SDK3? I also fear SDK3 will have fewer tutorials compared to SDK2
bold ibex
I never build a world before, I use sdk3, and there are a couple good start to finish videos by spookyghostboo on youtube that I use. Doesn't skip anything. I don't know programming but I don't think you need only use the udon graph. I think you can do whatever in c#. But I dunno.
frozen tundra
yea I looked around a bit and it seems like you're also able to create C# scripts and compile them to Udon meaning your C# file is just converted to Udon. I guess I can live with that

oh, I didn't meant to make your own. I always had problems when making my own. I always use the prefab. I just thought you may have had the vrcworld and your own spawn/descriptor since you mentioned a spawn object. I didn't even notice the line that mentioned you were using the vrcworld haha

I made a world yesterday which I deleted in a different project.

You can manually specify an object to use as a spawn which is all I did
I just point the vrcworld where I want to spawn. I never tried having 2 spawns.
I'm gonna quickly build this same world and see what happens
So I found where the SDK is storing temporary files in appdata.
I'm going to try clearing it I think.
Yep that was the issue.
I named the project the same name as the other one.
So I guess it messed up the SDK as it had old files in the temp folder.
Now it appears to work.
This is where I found the files that needed deleted.
AppData\Local\Temp\DefaultCompany{world_name}
@bold ibex Thank you so much for trying to help me ❤️
ah sweet, was going to say. I just finished building the same world and no problem 😄
Yea 🙂 I guess it's not every day you remake a world and name it the same thing
:kek:
Aw no nitro emoji.
Anyways thank you so much, going to work on it now 🙂
What's with the planes though? Do they make good walls? I just use probuilder to build everything. One cube, extrude down, boom floor and 4 walls.
Just habit I suppose.
I've made my own little projects in Unity and used them before.
Ah, I've only been doing this for a few days. So I was curious. I did use some planes for posters though, because trying to texture a photo onto something else never works hahah
I don't know if there's an advantage to it, but they only render on 1 side too
Yea, they just seem easier to work with than playing around with a cube when you just need a flat surface that you only need to see from 1 side/angle
I see the plane is also in probuilder too. So you can still merge them onto everything else. Most of my walls are seen from more than one side, I guess that's why.
That makes sense 🙂
I just made a simple platform (like a box) that you can't leave for now 🙂
My favorite thing so far about it, is that I can merge all my static objects for the framework into one object. I just have to remember not to do it too early cause then you can't move/duplicate anything after. I can still manipulate faces, so that saved me a little bit. But next time I'm not merging until the end. ahahah.
Haha that's a good tip 🙂
I built my first world without probuilder and I don't know how.
If it works, and you like the outcome, that's all that matters 🙂
I'm probably going to delete it once I upload this one. Though, the more I work on this one the longer it seems to take. Because I keep wanting to add tiny things that take up more small testing than building the entire thing did.
I'm on a break now for days to try and learn c# and udon, blaaaah.

How would I do it via a shader?
random owl
Either you find a shader that already has it as a feature or write your own scrolling shader.
Don't have much to link right now as I'm about to sleep but any of the popular VRC toon shaders has scrolling as a feature for example

Yes there are some movies worlds that exist so it’s possible.

You need to add colliders in Unity
You could go the easier route of adding a mesh collider, or you could go the more performant route of adding a bunch of box colliders to the floors and walls

Is there a recommended toon/cel shader to use for environment in worlds as opposed to on avatars?
I've been using one I found online for a while but it's just not really cutting it anymore, and it's had a weird PC-only graphical bug where objects can be seen through objects slightly, for instance the trees sitting behind this wall:

Hey how much play time to i need to upload worlds i have only just got back in to vr chat and decided to make a world plz @ me if you respond to me so i know somone is talking to me

So I just realised we can open vrchat links with a specified Instance Id in the browser. This might solve some of my issues for moving between worlds.
Query:
Is there anyway for users to open links in browser from VRChat?

You can use any overlay, just suggesting XSOverlay because it's objectively the best

This is for other users, I want to make world travel between my worlds I have made more deterministic, so a fixed instance ID, which you can do with browser links

Well actually you get the ID on the thumbnail, if that's the one you meant
oh, that ID

There's no minimum amount of play time needed - ranks are based on many things, like friends added, worlds visited, avatars/worlds uploaded (if the account has permission) active hours and etc all help, along with not getting kicked/banned/muted/reported, etc
You need to be New User rank to upload public/private avatars and private worlds, and you need User rank to upload public worlds

Ok thx
coarse swan
I want to have two worlds A and B linked to each other, and a user who travels back and forth to still end up in the same world they came from
which is unreliable using vanilla portals, you are likely to end up in a different instance
coarse swan
Bleh. If instance Id was exposed thatd solve half my issues
Cause that also amusingly also provides you a way to "send" data to a world from another, you can encode some bytes (16? 32?) of data in the instance Id itself if you specify it

I've had luck with newer versions of Poiyomi's Toon Shader. The world I'm working on has a more realistic feel but it has so many options that you can get pretty much any style out of it.
They say it's meant for avatars but it works just as well in worlds

Yeah that's what I'm afraid of. I'm going to have a big world and I'm afraid that an "avatars" shader may be too heavy for extended use in a large world y'know?
bold ibex
@fervent garden #shameless-self-promotion might work for that
frosty goblet
But Idk a thing about shader performance so I might just be terribly confused
fervent garden
<@!190327128519213056> <#380564294506643457> might work for that
👍 thanks

Well, after switching my world to Poi's shader it still performs just as bad, but the important part is that it didn't get any worse. Mine is pretty huge too.

def look into occlusion culling if you haven't yet? o:
short gulch
I have, I think a problem is with the size of the buildings, and some having interiors that are a hall that leads straight through, they don't always occlude the ones behind them. Ruubick suggested combining meshes that use the same materials, but I haven't gotten around to trying that yet.
Would fog hurt performance at all?
errant beacon
def depends on the type of fog but I don't think normal Unity fog'd notably hurt performance?
could vv well be wrong on that though
short gulch
Mkay, also on the topic of fog, is there any way to add it in vrc other than the default Unity fog? I'd like to be able to animate it along with my day/night cycle. (Somehow doesn't completely destroy performance, roughly the same frame rate as if it was disabled)

One asset bundle I had had some fog particle system prefab within it. I used that, other than that tho I dunno

Well, funny thing about that lol. The way this map was made is that the interiors are not a separate piece (they're extremely simple anyway and there may just be like 2 or 3 props inside of each one like a door or something.) But the buildings themselves are segmented and the segments contain pieces of the interior.

Silent has a bunch of useful shaders/effects for VRChat, and his XSVolumetrics might be what you're looking for? o:
https://gitlab.com/s-ilent/XSVolumetrics
also here's the rest of his shaders and such: https://gitlab.com/users/s-ilent/projects

looks like it was a mist prefab particle effect, not a fog. But it looked like fog.
It's called c.v.p - japanese garden
I really like it for the trees you can use to fire up some terrain, tho my worlds never use terrain hahahah

Awesome, thanks guys. I'll check both of those out :)
Using the default Unity fog looks alright, but it looks weird with it not changing with the time of day. This was recorded in the editor so it's a little laggier than ingame.

most things Mono behavoirs can do, Udon behavoirs can do. A few things are sealed off for safety reasons
short gulch
Gotcha, thanks!
Hmm, Can it change the density of the fog too? I want it to get a little more dense in the morning
glacial pond
yes, the whole rendersettings class is exposed in udon
all the methods and set/gets are there
short gulch
Sweet thanks, I barely know anything about udon so far lol
glacial pond
what I do is look up documentation for unity's mono behavoir scripting to see what all Udon can do, since pretty much all the classes are just forwarded to udon. with few exceptions
the names of the classes and methods are all the same
it can be a bit daunting if you've never coded before (or in my case, never worked with nodes before) but you can scratch simple things together pretty easily
short gulch
Very good to know. Only reason I haven't converted this world to sdk 3 yet is because my cars will break and I'm kinda intimidated by Udon due to never having coded before. Was kinda waiting for Varneon to release his car prefab first.
glacial pond
Going purely with using the node graph, I find it less confusing than setting up triggers. But i know alot of people who say triggers just make more sense to them. it's really two different ways of thinking
short gulch
I was gonna rely heavily on CyanTriggers lol
