no just the mesh that's rigged to those bones that are animated

Basically you create an object that has "play on awake" on it. It starts disabled, but you enable it with the gesture animation. When it gets enabled it plays it's own animation.
languid lark
just need keep whole the button down till animation is done if you have long one
strange kite
@languid lark that works but the blend out to other gestures can be problematic.
severe sierra
I would imagine it would work better if the end of the animation ends where it starts
languid lark
reason i put on grip button for long animation lol
only time problem when you try pickup somthing with the trigger
turn on the grip
pale trail
@severe sierra Thanks!
strange kite
Yeah "let go" gesture plays automatically when you drop an item.
severe sierra
Would be really nice if in the future you could enable/disable your overrides in game 🤔
pale trail
@strange kite Interesting. Going to give this a try, thanks again!
strange kite
Yup better custom animation system coming in the future for sure.

anyone super bored?
grim cave
hmm
i wanna replace my idle animation but idk how to even describe the action i want with my legs/feet
dusty plume
woooaaah an animation chat :D
@grim cave you wanna be careful with making other movements on the idle animation. the legs may still want to use the IK stuff when you are using the normal animation set
if you want to, you can just make some extra bones to replace the avatars real legs. this will allow you to aniamte them the exact way you want. but you want be able to animate moving around even if you tried
feral thorn
Any way i can replace my idle animation with a dance but not have my oculus controllers take over my arms?
quasi gale
@feral thorn I haven't tried this because I don't have VR, but unmapping the finger bones from your avatar's rig configuration will supposedly disable IK for all bones except for the head.
dusty plume
IF MAKING OWN ANIMTION > Make animation in selected program > export model (check for tpose animation at top of alphabetical order) > import to unity project > FOR DANCE [Constant Playing] avatar do not use humanoid rig, keep generic > Make animation overide controller in assets > use set (Tpose animator or something) [if successful there will be only ONE animation slot.] > drag animation from model drop down into slot @keen elk
keen elk
If I don't use the humanoid rig will that change my other animations?
dusty plume
@clear yew there a video above in this chat history
look at that, itll teach you the controls on animation in blender :)
@ @keen elk you wont be able to track with the avatar. usually people just make two avatars, one dancing idle and one for being in vr and doing stuff
if youre talking about emotes, any animstions applied to the humanoid rig bones will last only 10 seconds max
keen elk
Track as in if I had vr controllers?
keen elk
Cause I've only got a keyboard and mouse
So if that has no effect
On KB+M then I'll accept it
boreal acorn
@clear yew thanks bud
dusty plume
@keen elk yep you fine my dude :) you wont have walking animtions. you will slide around dancing as if you were always still :)
if you want to walk around just make a seperate avatar thats uploaded normally
languid lark
dusty plume
see if you can find an animation rip somewhere. like a poser animation replicate
dusty plume
for mouth movements?
oh... never got that to worm but they should be in the mesh options or something
the avatar controller script could be an easy way to check
dont think thats enough for the eye tracking
you gotta be real specific with the names unless they changed it within the last week
like left blink, right blink, lower lid left and lower lid right
fallen flax
Afaik the VRChat blinking will not work if your hierarchy is not the exact same as VRChat looks for
And you'll need to have the lowerlid movements even if on a dummy shapekey or else you'll get wacky stuff going on when you look down
You could just use the animator method in Unity if you only want blinking
clear yew
need help with activating door open/close animation on a button interaction.
cobalt pivot
I highly recommend the Kinect motion capture method
But don't depend on that
Alwaya tweak it after captured

pastel ravine
so i found the animations for most female models in pokemon sun and moon
would they work in unity ? :T
dusty plume
when animating bones outside the humanoid rig, you need to mask the bones in on the animation. this can be found in the animstion tab when selecting the model in the assets window
@pastel ravine lol how
dusty plume
if they have a forward, backward, right, 45 degrees front and 135 degrees (45 backwards) [For left and right] and duplicated that for running and a sprint forward you got Keyboard an mouse all good
pastel ravine
ik they have a forward and back
not sure on 45 and 135
il look through it
if not il bodge one
nvm
its got a side step
:T
but im sure i can bodge
dusty plume
directly backwards run does not exist and also, in vr you MAY want animations for crouch fwd idle bck and left as awell a prone idle and fwd
pastel ravine
il look through more of them
dusty plume

@rose helm did you make the particle outside the model/avatar first?
@clear yew if they are the same armature sure
thats if they use bones

Hello,can someone tell me how to add music to an avatar,for that it will start automaticly when i change to that avatar (trying to make a dance+song avatar)
rose helm
Someone familiar with mmd dance importing ?
On preview it displays the full animation of the MMD dance but when i add it to the controller and preview it it just does a few mill seconds of the full animation
also at the animatoin bar it only displays frame keys for 0 sec and 1 mil sec so theres that.
Yea that i know that its different then the regular one ^^
im just curious towards why its only playing a few mil seconds of it 😮
but on the preview when i click on the animation
it displays fully
clear yew
@silk berry can you pls tell me how to import just the sound?
rose helm
something like this ?
basicly under animator select the bone or w.e u want to move
save that animation and set that as idle

Any good tutorials you would suggest for making guns and such on hand gestures?
dusty cobalt
dusty cobalt
anyone knows a solution to my problem that I sent a few messages above
versed tide
do you guys know if the custom faces in override have to be set on legacy?
versed tide
gotcha. yeah, it wasn't that. i got a person to test the avatar and the problem was that the hands weren't moving but the gestures were there
do i have to do something to have the hands move as well? like if i make a fist i want to be able to see the fist and also do the face
chrome granite
@versed tide You have to add keyframes for the hand animations, under the 'animator' dropdown menu, otherwise they're like this default 'open hand' pose
versed tide
oh ok. that's what i thought. is there like a clip already made for those?
chrome granite
Not to my knowledge, something like a fist would be pretty easy to hash out though. It's just tedious since it's 20 keyframes per hand pose that you have to poke around with.
versed tide
u_u
versed tide
@chrome granite sorry to bother again but like i have to do it for both hands, right? like if i make a fist with the left hand and i put keys for only the right hand what would happen? or does the game knows which hand i'm closing and just move those fingers?
clear yew
i made an avatar that dance,when i click the play button the animation work in unity ..all good but in game it dosn't does anyone knows why?
chrome granite
@versed tide Sorry for the late reply, you have to do it for both hands, luckily if you're doing the same hand pose, the values will be identical for the other hand. If you don't put keys for the left hand and do the fist pose, you will get the default open hand shape for the left hand.
versed tide
alright thanks!
chrome granite
The upside to this is you can have two different hand shapes for one override animation, but they'll be bound to their respective hands
versed tide
yeah :D
also can you duplicate a clip? so for instance, i don't have to make a fist again if i want to make a point animation
chrome granite
I actually tried that earlier today, but no luck. Any changes that I would make to one animation would just mirror to the duplicated one.
versed tide
hnngg!
versed tide
@chrome granite i think i found a way on how to duplicate the clip. just go the top and create a new clip then go back to the 1st clip and copy all the keys, then to the new clip and paste
versed tide
me again. is there a way to stop the eyetracking blink when doing overrides?
grim cave
Is it possible to: 1. find and download .anim files to use (either online or from other people), and 2. use the same animation for multiple models?
like animations arent model-specific right
versed tide
if the avatar is set to humanoid the motion should be the same, except for maybe clip throught due to different body proportions. if the avatar has blendshapes or other bone animation that are not part of the humanoid, the hierarchy and names should be the same
boreal rivet
Can I use the CustomAnimationOverride without VR? I just want to change my movement animations to stuff I found online.

yeah, you can change the walks, run, and emotes

I'm trying to add a dance animation (which is a .anim file) with music (.ogg) to the override but I don't seem to find the solution for it to trigger both at the same time. I've looked around the internet and I haven't found any tutorials for it. Plz help!

Activate a hidden game object at the beginning of the animation with an audio source that has "play on awake" enabled. At the end of the animation hide the game object again

Hello, i recently tried turning my finger gun gesture into equipping a gun

@modern dagger you might have an idea for that
when you go in your unity folder with the animation
check the preview for the animation... do you notice something ?
patent light
if your hand spazzes out on animation trigger its most likely that at the start or the end of the animation you have accidentally left the default values, so it keeps quickly switching between default and modified hand

i fixed the issue with the spasm, but the sword (for me) doesn't spawn. @patent light

just wondering
do i have to make my chariters root bone move for walking animations?
languid lark
@pastel ravine for what? mmd, animatior controller?
pastel ravine
just for any animations for walking in vrchat
like
animation moves the root bone for movement
languid lark
oh yea add custom override animation dont like use hip bone
it make it stay on place
no matter what
pastel ravine
fuk
languid lark
if you in full body track it wont work at all
pastel ravine
so for something like a fourlegged you would have to make the animation move the root bone for movement
languid lark
maybe pupplet the legs hook to other leg
pull on the other mesh weight paint
that add extra bone
and weight painted
pastel ravine
so for something like this which has its own walk and flying animation would the walk need to move the model
languid lark
yea hip like not move with animation
i put on it
it keep it all stay one spot
it like lock
you could make generic avatar make your own ik
and animation for it
pastel ravine
that wouldnt work though?
pastel ravine

just wondering
do i have to make my chariters root bone move for walking animations?
@pastel ravine To expand on this a little bit: the root bone has no effect for walking animations in humanoid avatars. When you start walking, VRChat switches to 'Meathook Rigging' which sets your avatar's head bone as the pivot. While this does solve the problem of deciding where to position your avatar as they move, it does lead to some unexpected side effects. For example, if your avatar leans forward as part of their moving animation, then the entire avatar hierarchy will be shifted back to ensure the head is always exactly where your view position is.
I haven't determined whether this happens only for the local player, or for all other remote player avatars as well.

I want to use my custom idle animation but no matter what if i stop moving he plays the default idle, all other anims work perfect
quaint crystal
is there any restrictions on how long animations can be on your avatars or objects for vrchat?

cool thanks just was wondering

Anyone have any thoughts? theres no sign of my avatar being able to access the default idle animation but somehow it still plays
@strange kite im the skele bike dude
clever salmon
I'm having difficulties attaching a particle effect to a weapon animation. When I start the animation the particle effect just floats in the air in front of me instead of following the tip on the spear that I tried to put it on and it follows where ever my character faces. Any ideas?
quasi gale
@radiant chasm Idle animations for humanoid avatars are largely driven by the IK system, so regular placement of the hands, leg, and head are enforced ontop of the animation you specified.
torpid light
Is the game object with the particle system on it parented to the tip of the spear? @clever salmon
radiant chasm
Ok, so in the Custon Standing anims i overrode the old idl with my and removed it entirely
but still does default
is that normal?
quasi gale
Depends what you mean by "removed it entirely"
If you just left the override slot empty, then it will fall back on the default one.
clever salmon
@torpid light The particle effect is parented directly to the spear.
quasi gale
Depends on what the animation was.
radiant chasm
my dude is posed on a bike, works fine when moving
so i made a animation with him in bike position at keyframe 1, then copied it to keyframe 10
so he just sits]
and them made the animation loop
and set it as the idle anim
quasi gale
As I said before, it's probably the IK system pulling the feet down to the ground.
strange kite
@radiant chasm the default idle is only useful for breathing and hand twitches. Most of a humanoid avatar is being animated by IK. So arms legs hips, neck etc are all being overriden
quasi gale
Incidentally, you can disable the IK system by unmapping the finger bones from the import rig.
quasi gale
Or simply use a generic rig to remove IK altogether.
radiant chasm
in my animation
but the default makes it act like im standing
for this avatar i dont really need it to be humanoid, just 2 animation, 1 for moving and 1 for standing
can I do a generic rig with that?
quasi gale
Sounds like that'd be the better choice.
clever salmon
@torpid light Odd thing is that if I move the spear around in the game space in Unity the particle effect follows the spear, but in game if I play the animation and the spear activates in my hand, the particle effect won't follow my spear.
quasi gale
Although you will lose head tracking and emotes with a generic rig...
radiant chasm
Do i have to start over in blender? or take the anims i have now and remove the humanoid part
torpid light
not sure why that would be the case
radiant chasm
I can like without those for this particular model
live*
i have a standing normal one and a mounted version of my avatar
mounted just needs to move with animation playing, and freeze when not
strange kite
Superscope it sounds like you want generic -- but you can't use overrides for that, you make your own Animation Controller.
radiant chasm
Ohh
makes me sad cuz everything is perfect, just standing still messes it up
So for the generic, on the VRC_Avatar Descriptor i use custom standing anims but my own controller? or leave blank and use the Animator component
strange kite
maybe you want to use a secondary set of legs?
radiant chasm
ohh
strange kite
don't assign the skinned legs to the humanoid rig
radiant chasm
Maybe, would be nice to not have to decimate more of my model to puplicate it
duplicate*
strange kite
no extra geo, just empty bones for the ik assignment
the animated legs get the skinning and the geo. the non-animated legs have no skin. they just get hooked up in the humanoid rig, and the ik takes them over, but no one sees
radiant chasm
Sounds good! Thank you 😄
clever salmon
I am at a loss as to why this freeking particle isn't following my spear :/
quasi gale
What's the particle system parented to? It should be parented to the hand bone that's holding the spear or the spear itself if it is unskinned.
clever salmon
@quasi gale I have it parented to the spear
quasi gale
Just to confirm, is the spear a skinned mesh or an unskinned mesh?
clever salmon
Skinned
quasi gale
Parent the particle system to the hand bone instead. Child objects are unaffected by skinning transforms.
clever salmon
Ok I'll see if this works
@quasi gale Nope, didn't work. The particle effect was still glowing in front of me instead of on my spear when I started the animation.
radiant chasm
Try empty gameobect on spear where you want effect and parent that empty object to spear
empty object should have the particle on it
clever salmon
Alright I'll give that a shot
@tribal escarp No dice, same effect.
@radiant chasm
radiant chasm
Thats odd, Can you screen shot your spear selected with inspector
clever salmon
radiant chasm
Is that disabled gameobject the particle effect?
or is it the lightning cloud
object
clever salmon
Cloud
radiant chasm
is cloud enabled and gameobject disabled?
clever salmon
They are disabled because I have an animation setup for them that acrivates them.
activates*
radiant chasm
Yeah, so when not animating they are both off?
clever salmon
Yes
radiant chasm
and during your animation a keyframe turns it on?
clever salmon
Yes
clever salmon
I have the animation working fine for the spear, it's just the particle effect that is having issues.
one sec
radiant chasm
it activated and everything at the right time, just not following spear?
clever salmon
Yeah
I just don't understand why my spear follows the animation fine but the Particle effect doesn't
radiant chasm
Could be simulation space, if it gets activated then its gunna happen at the point in the world
maybe you have to keep it local?
clever salmon
Yeah I can try that
radiant chasm
enable the particle effect and click play and click the effect in the hierarchy and drag it around
see if the particles follow
shouldnt mess with anything once you stop
clever salmon
They follow regardless if I pick Local or World
Only difference is that World has the particals linger after I drag it.
radiant chasm
Interesting, is it your spear tip the effect is covering?
radiant chasm
Yeah like hack said, a skinned mesh renderer doesnt move physically
only by animation
try making a empty game object
and parenting the spear to it
and putting the effect on the empty object
clever salmon
I did that earlier when you mentioned that, that's what the game object is in the spear.
radiant chasm
if you click the Spear object and drag it does the spear move?
clever salmon
Yes, and the particle effect moves with it.
radiant chasm
Honestly lost this point then 😦 has to be just some silly unity thing we are overlooking, any google advice?
seems like it just a basic unity thing should be lots of reports on it
radiant chasm
Damn, yeah ive been at mine forever, but eventually got it. yours seems like it should just work tho which sucks
clever salmon
It's gota be something with the Particle effect because I have an animation on my spear and it follows my hand movements without an issue.
Oh well, I'll leave it for tomorrow. I got my dynamic bones working today so I guess I have one win for today lol.
honest basalt
hey so im trying to just add a sound to play whenever i make a fist
i followed a tutorial up to the very end
im pretty sure that its set up to work, but when i upload it
i have the custom standing animation override set to CustomEmpty or w/e
the only animation i have set in there is the new i have that overrides fist that adds nothing but the sound
but what do i need to set for the controller on the model?
when i have it set to none or simplevatarcontroller my model is t-posed in the upload screen
modern urchin
don't want to interrupt, but I was told there was a way to test animations before uploading so I can see if my dynamic bones are working, is that a thing with the VRCSDK?
honest basalt
ugh this is so annoying
the tutorials for this are so vague. they dont specify if i need to end with the controller on "none" which is what the video ends on, or if i need a controller. they also dont specify if i need to select every animation in the override or leave them at none
they just say "fill all this out, uhhh.."
its this tutorial
and this one
modern urchin
with a blank override it just does what it usually does
honest basalt
yes but what should the controller be set to then
simpleavatarcontroller? the one that its always set to?
honest basalt
so i went in game and tested it and it didnt work
IK worked perfectly, but i had no animations
and the sound would just play when i spawned the model
if someone has an answer please @ me cause i gotta goooo
radiant chasm
Hey @strange kite So finnaly got the animations to work, but now my character wont leave the idle animation, even tho every other animation besides idle is my move animation
strange kite
@radiant chasm check the masking on your locomotion animations. They may only have the human bones enabled.
radiant chasm
Not sure what exactly that means, but i did what you said, and duplicated my bones, so my model is following my animation bones while the avatar is following the invis bones to keep it grounded
could it be because the bones touching the ground arent technically moving?
And does it update right away on changes to Custom standing anims? cuz the model changed but its behaving the same after removeing my idle anim
strange kite
When you select your fbx and look at the Inspector, checkout the Animations tab -- that lists all the animations embedded in your fbx file. Each one has a Mask property at the bottom. make sure the checkboxes for the bones that you are animating have been selected. I think by default they may just be standard human bones.
radiant chasm
Or do i have to restart VR chat to update that stuff
strange kite
sometimes you have to restart vrchat to get the avatar to update, but I like to change the name each time I upload, so I can tell i've got the right version.
radiant chasm
Yeah that sounds like a good thing to start doing
That was it...
restartign after upload

I get alot of WTF and laughs so thats a good sign
People definatly arent expecting it lol
quasi gale
@strange kite This is possibly related, but I've found that the VRChat movement blendtree for humanoid avatars doesn't properly do blending for non-humanoid bones. Humanoid bones work fine, but non-humanoid bones will always play their animation for the idle animation. All other animations such as jumping and emotes will also properly animate non-humanoid bones. It just seems to be a problem with that one blendtree.
radiant chasm
Yeah, everything else worked every time, the first time i tried to mess with the Idle animation it went screwy
strange kite
yeah, unfortunately, there's a mask on that layer so that the gestures above it (hands) are not affected. That layer mask only has a human bone setup, so rigs with extra bones get masked out.
quasi gale
Oh, interesting. That's good to know.
Good to know there's a valid reason for it at least.

honest basalt
So I asked for some help last night and didn’t get a reply, I’m trying to override a fist animation so that it’s the same but it has a noise
I followed the two tutorials on YouTube about it, I added the audio source, I created the animation, and I overrode it in CustomOverrideEmpty for the FIST animation
But one thing the tutorials didn’t specify is if I needed to override all animations. I tried doing that because my friend told me I did, but then in the unity animator all of the key frames were empty, unlike what it looks like by default
So then I uploaded two versions of the avatar, one where the Controller was set to the SimpleAvatarController and one where no controller was selected, as that’s how both the tutorials ended their screen
Both avatars would just play the sound when they spawned, and did not have any animations except my IK
What did I do wrong in the custom override? What should the controller be set to?
strange kite
@honest basalt For humanoid avatars, the main animation controller is unused, it doesn't matter what you put in that slot after its uploaded. The two override slots in the VRC_AvatarDescriptor are what will be used for standing and seated. Use a copy of the example override controller to put into these slots. You only need to put the animations into the override controller that you want to replace. The empty animations will get the defaults. (The SimpleAvatarController is an example for non-humanoid avatars).
honest basalt
Was CustomOverrideEmpty the wrong override that I wanted to start with then?
If that’s the case I don’t know why overriding one animation killed all of them
strange kite
That's right, just make a copy of it. Then replace any of the animations in it that you don't want to be default. Then put this controller into the (for example) StandingOverride slot in the VRC_AvatarDescriptor.
honest basalt
Huh, that’s exactly what I did
Do you know of anything else that might’ve killed animations in this process? I hadn’t tested the avatar prior to doing this, but previously it was a perfectly average Mixamo rigged standard humanoid shape
With the usual avatar creation process
I had no errors uploading it
strange kite
I would test the avatar first and make sure it works without overrides
honest basalt
Yeah I’m gonna now
strange kite
which animation did you override?
honest basalt
Just FIST
strange kite
is it only 2 frames of animation?
honest basalt
in fact I’m not even adding an animation, just key frame 1 and 2 to play a sound
strange kite
okay that sounds like it'd work. better test the avatar without overrides first, then.
honest basalt
My friend had told me that if I don’t change the animation it’ll maintain the fist animation with sound addition
I’ll do that and get back to you
Thanks
so, a few questions. when i create the override i want to the original to be CustomOverrideEmpty and not AvatarControllerTemplate or w/e?
the thing that its overriding?
@strange kite heres what it looks like https://i.imgur.com/H3Rhx2W.png
that should be sufficient to override, correct? also do i want it to be play on awake
one thing i was always confused about was how it knew to play the specific audio source i have in the model, i feel like i didnt tell it anywhere to play that clip
safe shuttle
how to i make rainbow color? i don't find any tutorial
strange kite
@honest basalt yes, you enable PlayOnAwake and then enable the game object when you want it to play. This animation needs to be made as a animation on your avatar, so make sure your avatar is selected when you create the clip (it has to be a AnimationController/Humanoid anim, not a legacy one). When you create your first clip, you'll see that Unity generates an AnimationController tied to your Avatar. This is where your animation clips are created.
honest basalt
that mightve been what i was missing
strange kite
leave the main AnimController slot empty, select the avatar, and go into the animation tab. when you create a new clip, the AnimController is created and put into the main slot.
honest basalt
and do i want to leave that there whenever i upload? in the controller slot
https://i.imgur.com/Nhjl7r0.png thats what your referring to right
sorry for the dumb questions
ok now im confused, i restarted from scratch, clicked on my model in the project, created the animation, it set the controller to paul2u, i added audio source enabled property to the new .anim, but now for some reason the avatar is just like stuck in a seated position in the floor
@strange kite he's just stuck like this https://i.imgur.com/zYNreru.png
this only happened after i attempted to play the animation
i put the simple avatar controller back to attempt to get him back to normal
when i have that on and i hit play he stands back up but he keeps going inside the floor
https://i.imgur.com/Mp1qr8H.png can i force him back into t-pose? applying the textures again on this guy takes forever
fuck it im just gonna restart again
@strange kite ok so whenever im creating the animation the moment i click on 0:01 in the keyframes it puts him in the fucking floor
i have no clue why its doing this
i click on the model in the hierarchy, go to the animator, create animation, add the property for audio source enabled, and whenever i click on keyframe 2 he starts drowning
strange kite
its normal to see that in the editor. it should be fine when you play it in game.
you are basically playing an empty muscle animation with your sounds, so thats the "rest" position of the avatar. when you are in game the idle is mixed in.
honest basalt
is there a way i can get him back to t-pose though
no matter what he seems to stay in rest
strange kite
You can load the TPose Controller on him. But make sure to go back to the other one when editting the animation.
gusty crow
so I'm trying to make my avatar in unity breakdance, but the fbx wont upload to mixamo. I used another avatar to use on it, is there a way to change the other avatar's bones to the avatar I want to use on it?
honest basalt
also do i want to leave the animation controller that it created when i made the animation there when i upload it?
strange kite
@honest basalt it doesnt matter what controller you have in the main controller when you upload, that is replaced at runtime.
honest basalt
and do i want the audio source to be enabled when its uploaded
strange kite
if the audio source is enabled it'll start playing as soon as the avatar loads. not sure if you want that.
honest basalt
no
but what i did in the tutorial was turn the audio source off, hit record on the new animation, then enable it, and copy it to keyframe 2
strange kite
I like to make a test scene in the same project as the avatar, so i can try it out locally in VRChat, without loading Hub and all that.
basically an empty room, maybe with a mirror in it
honest basalt
https://i.imgur.com/nz2qcSj.png if i get this, does it mean he's not gonna have animations
he was forced t-pose last time
i have no clue why his animations do not work
strange kite
@gusty crow as long as your fbx works in unity, you just need to set it up as humanoid rig, then you can apply it to any other humanoid. Unity does the bone remapping for you.
@honest basalt is this without the overrides? get the avatar working first before trying overrides.
strange kite
oh, you wont know until its uploaded an you've tried it inside VRChat.
signal fractal
So i have this avatar all set up and ready to go. Only problem is ingame the legs clip through the skirt when they move. Is there a way to get around this with dynamic bones or something?
strange kite
@signal fractal yes you can use Dynamic Bone with colliders, but this is not very efficient and kind of overkill, esp for a short skirt. Usually weight painting the skirt properly (with some influence from the legs) will fix the problem.
honest basalt
im about to give it a try now

Anyone know why this might be happening? I have these blades on a looping animation that just rotate 180 but when hitting play in Unity they rotate 90, but in the animation preview theyre perfectly fine

Hello everyone, So I did a simple animation overwrite to have a sword appear upon the Hand gun gesture. the problem im having is that I cannot get my avatar to do that hand gesture in game. Im using an Oculus, and I can make a fist or point but cannot form the handgun shape.
wooden ivy
Handgun is index extended, thumb extended, other fingers on controller
Different from pointing, where your thumb rests on the controller
Your thumb needs to be riiiight out
Is it possible to edit the default animation set? I made copies of each animation and then put them onto a controller in the place of the originals. When I go in-game the original animation plays but not what I added.
wraith hawk
@whole igloo found it by accident on mixamo
languid lark
@wooden ivy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNnnaHqhks0
wooden ivy
Is that relevant? I have already modified the animations.
wooden ivy
🤔 ?
So I made copies of each of the animations from the default avatar, and then used the animation editor to add parameters to them to modify visemes. Then I assigned each animation to the controller and then assigned the controller to the character. So when I go in-game, my hands move fine, but my visemes don't activate.
tawny elbow
in unity, how can i preview a specific animation I have? i have two but everytime i click that play button it only shows one of them and i wanna see the other :0
wooden ivy
When you assign an animation to a character, Unity creates an animation controller that's connected to them, which is the flowchart in the Animator window when you select them. So if you have two animations on them, they'll both appear there, and one will be connected to Entry by default
Alternatively, when you select the character, and have the Animation window open, you can click the animation name to swap between the two and then click play

So I want to put a character in a wheelchair do I keep them both in the same file, or do I export the character and the wheelchair seperate.

then it cane combine togther

make it own avatar folder
it going avatar in wheel chair

it alot more work just put wheel chair on model lol
need add leg and adjust the bones
so can be on that wheel chair

@languid lark So I managed to merge the wheelchair with the character
and get my eyetracking+blinking to work
so I keep em merged?
then I jsut create new leg bones?
languid lark
yes eye tracking if you label bone name correctly what i told youj
it all about bone names
your legs become useless for the wheel chair
so you have make compelte new legs
