peak kiln
guys help how do i control my particles so that they flash in one place instead of flying everywhere
clear yew
Here's to hoping it works, though! I'm going to get started
Oh, and @torpid light My animation was all set to on trigger, the delayed effects were just set to have a start delay.
peak kiln
this is frustrating lol
peak kiln
true true
torpid light
can you explain what you mean by flash in one place?
peak kiln
like
there arent particles shooting off
and the orb is stuck to one position
dies and creates a new one
im trying to make a siren @torpid light
clear yew
hmm, might tone it down a tad more according to peepz, well ill do that
uncut monolith
welp lets try asking again
https://my.mixtape.moe/drwnka.webm Any idea why this is happening? The guns pop in and out depending on where I'm looking at. Shows fine in the camera in the test room, as you can see, but the guns pop in and out for other people too who i asked. I've set two guns to appear when the rock and roll hand gesture is done with either hand
im stumped, i dont know what to do to fix this
trim dagger
um
let me see your unity
cause i have a katana on my rock n roll hand gesture
and it works fine for me
uncut monolith
I have a sword on set to the victory sign
and that one isperfectly fine
lemme load unity up, hold on
@trim dagger
trim dagger
can you move around with it in your hand
like for your sword
you can move with it on ur hand
and do you have vive or oculus
uncut monolith
vive. You mean walk around? Like sure I can swing my hands around and the guns will pop in an out of existence
walking kinda resets my fingers so everything disappears by default ive noticed
but I suppose thats just the game
I'm assuming it MIGHT be because I've set two objects to appear on each hand. I could probably fix it by setting two different gestures for each hands
but at that point im running out of gestures
trim dagger
yeah you cant move with the things in vive but in oculus you can
and you're sure you have the rock n roll hand sign out always?
uncut monolith
It's just a camera inside the the avatar testing room
And no they dont
people told me they saw both guns in the camera
but they would fade in and out
trim dagger
yeah
uncut monolith
if they looked at me directly
trim dagger
huh...
uncut monolith
this game is a wild ride
uncut monolith
Bone hierarchy?
uncut monolith
think if I got rid of the weapon bones it could potentially fix it?
the weapons themselves came on the model
they're not exactly necessary either
uncut monolith
yeah its really weird
I'll go ahead and see what it looks like if I only have one gun in one hand
if nothing else works then I'll just have to deal with one gun I suppose
trim dagger
yeah
oblique panther
~
clear yew
allright, now apparently it doesnt do any more issues... well i hope its all fine now
oblique panther
so i tried to animation override
and it works
but the fingers are going crazy when i do it
they open and close really fast
the object itself is normal tho
coarse hawk
that means you have different values for 0:00 and 0:01
oblique panther
yeah
coarse hawk
be sure they're the same or its going to do that
tropic nova
i have a particle effect on my running animation, the problem is that the particle also spawns when im just walking forward. anyone know whats wrong?
oblique panther
i change nothing after it?
tropic nova
i have the running animation on runfwd
trim dagger
yea
tropic nova
@torpid light u there?
torpid light
Are you on desktop mode?
trim dagger
just try it again
oblique panther
will do~
torpid light
It might be because you can't really do the walk animation on dekstop. I'm not really sure
like you don't have much granularity
oblique panther
oh no im in vr
tropic nova
oh that sucks
torpid light
im talking to jimg
oblique panther
oops
tropic nova
on sprint forward it would do this wierd thing where it would spawn the particles but not do the running animation
but runfwd does both
torpid light
it's because it's blending between the animations
so like part of the animation is from the walk and part is from run
tropic nova
oooh
trim dagger
lol
torpid light
there's no way to tween between active and not active since it's binary
ill post a screenshot 1 sec
oblique panther
so i copy and pasted it
torpid light
You can see i have the runfwd selected here in the blend tree https://i.gyazo.com/8747be91e1326b70a162393f83a0477c.png
it has a little bit of overlap between the nearby animations
so part of it is being used
oblique panther
do i give it the same values now
torpid light
and if you have even a little bit of the animation being blended, it's going to activate the game object all the way
tropic nova
do you think adding a custom walk animation where the particles are turned off would work?
trim dagger
Novamoon copy pasting means it has same values
torpid light
I mean it should work fine im not sure what you mean though
torpid light
like yes a custom animation without any activations in it will work fine
tropic nova
yea, i dont want the particles to activate when i am just walking forward, only when i run. i will try to make a walk animation
clear yew
allright, new question.
torpid light
You might be able to pull that off with a custom animation layer
clear yew
Can the animation itself cause lag if your character has been scaled in the unity's editor itself
oblique panther
i dont get it
trim dagger
Animations can always cause lag
oblique panther
im not retarded :c
twin tree
🤔
oblique panther
it resets all but one value
clear yew
well i am REALLY confused now then.
Some people say it doesnt cause lag whatsoever, it doesnt lag on my end, but some people say their frame drops to 2 for a second
...???
Even toned down its the same
torpid light
Are you sure it's 4 particles?
clear yew
It uses different particle systems for the animations
which i toned down to the same as world model now
torpid light
Can you click on the particle system and hit simulate and tell me the particle count?
if it's lagging it's probably not 4 particles with a 128x128 texture
i mean that just doesn't make sense
clear yew
so they are not the issue, i assume the issue can be the fact that my animation scale is wrong, and i scaled the player model down in unity without reimport
clear yew
I heard that could have been the case when i worked with a little fangame of mine
torpid light
like this @clear yew https://i.gyazo.com/5e82e3170d47b0602eda44ac00c3b189.gif
torpid light
oh ok
clear yew
What i am doing right now, is finding the issue causing it
at first ill try to compress the textures a bit more
to 64 even, since they dont really matter that much. then gonna see maybe its the material causing issue for some people rather than particles themselves
uneven bronze
🤔 When I make a custom animation and replace it for default emote, Do people see it ?
gleaming tusk
Oh, damn I tried a custom walk animation and spins around as I walk, but my friends can see my model ok
is this a visual bug?
clear yew
better check and make sure it's working on your end too.
I had an avatar that shown up fine on my side... but from people's perspective it's arm looked like it was fapping
trim dagger
Lol
clear yew
not joking
I fixed it later because as it turned out, it was a bug with bones... but still, quiet hilarious
gleaming tusk
how did you fix it?
clear yew
That was the issue with the model itself
so i assume it might be the same on your end, try to check if some bones connected to right bones
and not wrong ones
@trim dagger it works! yay!
trim dagger
Ayy nice
uneven bronze
https://gyazo.com/fe3e45035063f3c1a61d8209ae84b742
Do people see it?
clear yew
A little wonky, (like starting to play the animation for a sec when I pull out my staff) but I'm happy
clear yew
Thats the thing i am actually trying to figure the F out
trim dagger
And yea bigzeek but at least you got that complicated mess to work lol
uneven bronze
🤔 My mic is broken, so I can't ask them
clear yew
why does it not lag on our end, but does on their?
torpid light
Does that actually follow where you look or is it just a set distance in front of you @uneven bronze
trim dagger
Because kirillian
uneven bronze
@torpid light set distance in front of me
clear yew
No way, duh. But my PC is really bad. by modern standarts.
trim dagger
So these big ass animations fuck me over
torpid light
that looked like it followed your cursor i was hype for a sec
torpid light
still a really cool effect
clear yew
I know about the double rendering, there's no need to explain that to me
trim dagger
??
uneven bronze
😍 tks
clear yew
VR renders two scenes at the same time, one for the left, other for the right, thus causing double the stress on GPU and CPU
Desktop mode only renders one scene, thus making it lighter
trim dagger
I just asked if you were in desktop or vr my dude
No need to turn into bill nye here
trim dagger
Ok so you answered your own question
clear yew
So how does particles affect people on high settings then? hmmm?
trim dagger
I use vr with a 960 so i lag with huge animations
clear yew
Same texture resolution size
vernal cairn
SO I'm having issues with eye tracking. The eyes have bones, the bones are assigned in a human rig, and they all rotate properly. They don't function inside of VRChat though. What's up with that?
torpid light
might sound weird but ask someone else in game if they see them moving. My mouth moves for others but not me @vernal cairn
remote onyx
Ok, when I want the mouth to move as I talk
do I just, keep the mouth closed by default when importing it?
Or open?
trim dagger
Closed
remote onyx
Alrighto
remote onyx
Nah
clear yew
hm. well, ive done something interesting now. I compressed all particles to lowest things possible, in total, there are 23 particles. As in each is a plane, so thats like extra... 23*2 = 46 tris. Its not heavy on memory or GPU or CPU, thats for 100%. What i did check now, is the sound playback... I did something different this time, and that is playback from Memory rather than streaming, i assume with assets like that it should help out the performance rather than decompressing and streaming it from VRChat's memory... that should help, but if not, then i can only guess it's the good ol scaling issue and i might have to redo everything from scratch again.
now... just gotta wait until the game is up to test once more.
Ingame profiler would've help for sure.
fathom tartan
So have shape keys setup for blinking and bones for eye tryacking but im not sure how to add them in Unity where does one set it up?
I have the Lip Sync already setup but there is no similar area to setup blinking from what i can find.
tame gust
Maybe someone can help me with this, I have a particle system and I want it to follow my weapon in my animation override. When I view it in the editor it looks alright, but in game the particle system just locks at my hip. Is there a way to make it follow the weapon without using "Local Simulation Space?" I wanted the particles to be left behind as I move.
clear yew
@tame gust put the particles as a child, in the heirechy, to the weapon?
tame gust
Yeah it's there, that's why I'm confused.
clear yew
Thats what I did for mine, using local simulation space and it follows
but your asking without, so I wouldn't know a workaround
tame gust
Yeah, probably require scripting and they still haven't implemented custom scripts.
Wish they'd update for the newest Unity build as well.
torpid light
im having the same issue @tame gust . I don't think world simulation works at all
tame gust
It does, but it locks at the first frame in the animation, so when I do my override and pull out my sword, it just locks at my side where it's placed in the editor.
torpid light
Yea same thing here
stuck where it was originally placed
makes sense now why i've seen so many particle effects where I've thought "Huh that would be so much better if it was in world space"
tame gust
Yeah, it's unfortunate. All you can do it enable the noise module and hold the weapon still and it'll do some neat things.
slim phoenix
Is there a best tutorial video for custom animations to follow along with?
peak summit
Anyone got a neat tutorial about particles and effects?
clear yew
There actually isn't any vids pinned to this channel
trim dagger
Fuck
U guys are trolling me
I have all these tutorials on my comp but not at my comp rn
slim phoenix
im not even sure how to see pinned things in discord >.<
trim dagger
If u pm me and u still haven't found the tutorial on youtube i can link you tomorrow
clear yew
theres a pin at the top
trim dagger
Im too lazy to get out of bed
slim phoenix
ah, i see
trim dagger
Theres two good ones on animation override and one good one on audio and particles
torpid light
If you are trying to create your own animations inside unity I've got a tutorial here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxSezH13vAI
if you want to import animations from mixamo this video goes over it at about 13:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0l4-pH3vI4
@slim phoenix
peak summit
That I'm familiar with. I'm talking about things like particles. Pew pew lasers and whatnot
slim phoenix
ah, thanks @torpid light , I was looking for the first option!
I've watched one before to get a basic idea, and quick question, is there a way to set the time it is going for? is that done in keyframes?
peak summit
@torpid light but thanks for the 1st video I need that for later
torpid light
I don't go over creating the animations much, just how to get an override working in a not 30 minute video
trim dagger
As long as you have that hand gesture out
torpid light
it's keyframes and everything in between is tweened
slim phoenix
ah, gotcha
trim dagger
Cece theres one online for particles and audio
Search up like unity particle and audio tutorial or something
On youtube
Its the one with no sound
peak summit
Alrighr I'll keep that in mind
slim phoenix
thanks @trim dagger
trim dagger
Ye
vale gazelle
so anyone good at doing weapon animations via emotes? if a person doesnt have a vr headset so its invisible inless u toggle the emote then your avatar does a sword swinging action and the sword becomes uninvisible?
pure ledge
Lets say I have some different particle objects, if I don't include the 'set active' property on the animation, it won't show, right?
pastel spruce
I'm trying to do generic rig animation override for the first time, how do I know what root node to use? I haven't gotten any responses in the regular avatar channel.
torpid light
Generic rigs can't have emote overrides
your charater will just freeze in place forever
if that's what you are trying
pastel spruce
Oh. I thought that's just what using a seperate animation from the standard male/female ones meant
But I'm trying to animate a generic rig is all
mystic hull
Anyone able to point me in the right direction for adding collision to my avatar's ears to make it so I can touch them
?
torpid light
Yea you can do that. Just letting you know about the emote thing because i would have loved for someone to tell me that before i got into trying to make a generic rig
You need to make your own animation controller @pastel spruce . I would reference the default one and create it from there
any animator parameters in the default one can be used in your animator except for emote
pastel spruce
I have never done this before.
torpid light
yea you're going to need to understand how the animation controller works then
i suggest watching videos about just the controller in general to get an idea
You need to understand basic transitions and blend trees
clear yew
Hi guys.. I am try to make an animation here.. Is there any good video that can help me with?
Just want to set a props on my avatar and i can put it away and pull it out when i want
torpid light
this is what i watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eT5_nyb0T1g
clear yew
@torpid light I watch it before but I still don't know how to put the props away in game
torpid light
They should just go away. Well, they did for me at least
the object is set to hidden by default and shown in the animation and they go away when i do any other hand gesture
pastel spruce
It seems simple enough to just use the override option in the avatar descriptor, but is this really what I need to do?
torpid light
Yea overriding should work fine you just need to override a lot of animations
i personally find it easier to simplify the controller and make it myself, but I guess it's not as easy if you don't know what you are doing
pastel spruce
So basically create a clip for each of the options in the customoverride controllers?
torpid light
yea
pastel spruce
I mean, if those are the animation types in the game, it makes sense to just fill in the blanks
I just don't know what some of these are.
torpid light
if you do that, note that strafe left is actually the strafe right animation but mirrored.
pastel spruce
Uh... what about 135 & 45?
torpid light
If you create an object like a cube or anything and add an animtor to it and drag the override into it's controller slot you can view the animation controller
and see the blend tree
that's the blend tree
pastel spruce
I mean, there are already animations in the sample assets
pastel spruce
What happens if I don't set an override? Will it just use the default?
torpid light
it will probably just tpose you
the defaults reference humanoid bones which you won't have mapped as you aren't using a humanoid rig
so they can't move your character really
pastel spruce
Wait, do I create an Animator Controller on the model?
pastel spruce
So it's not in the avatar descriptor and is just its own component?
torpid light
both i think. I'm not 100% sure if the one in the avatar descripor does anything with a generic rig, but it worked when i put it in both
pastel spruce
What template should I use, then?
torpid light
I just used custom override empty and duplicated it for my own use
pastel spruce
But that's not a controller, it's an override
torpid light
it's an override of a controller
pastel spruce
Does it matter? Do I just dump all of the clips somewhere and use them there?
pastel spruce
...how do I duplicate the override controller? Is it the only controller I need?
mystic hull
Anyone know how to make a particle aura emote like the ones that say meme and stuff?
pastel spruce
Okay I have no idea how to animate
just... zero idea
it's 2AM I'm gonna get some sleep and try to understand how the hell this works tomorrow
torpid light
Yea take some time to get a basic understanding of animations in unity
it will make this a lot easier
strange kite
@pastel spruce I suggest you start with the SimpleAnimationController as a base for generic rigged avatars. You will at least have some support of the two layers and the animation parameters in that (for movement speed)
craggy sage
is there a way to test the ingame hand animations?
tropic nova
does anyone know if there is a way to disable particle effects from running animation when im just walking
languid lark
@craggy sage if you want to test in game animation you need setup animator controller with finger finger animations
mystic hull
Anyone know how to make a particle effect to replace an emote?
Trying to make an emote that puts Traps Are Gay float around my Felix model for like 5 seconds
Can't figure it out though
tropic nova
@mystic hull uncheck the particle effect in the top of the inspector and during the recording of the animation re enable it by checking the box and stop recording. the emote will then trigger the particles
hardy mural
Is the rocknroll emote a hand gesture?
tropic nova
uncheck the box in like this https://gyazo.com/c6edb1ce4f5e0703c3c65dea797862e2 and then hit the record button on your animation window and check the box again. but make sure the particle is off by default so the emote will trigger it on
tropic nova
on the model. the particle will show up as a property in the animation after you record yourself checking the box
iron crescent
how tf do i animate lol
mystic hull
@tropic nova When I put the particle effect on the armature the text becomes extremely small and unreadable
tropic nova
it doesnt necessarily have to be on the armature if you do not want it to attatched to any bones. you can just simply put it under the first parent in the higherarchy
iron crescent
No
mystic hull
@tropic nova Checking the box didn't record anything
I unchecked it, pressed record, checked it and then pressed to stop recording
And nothing happened
tropic nova
thats wierd. try adding some random property first so the timeline shows up and then do it
iron crescent
whati did to get that to work is i clicked record and then moved something and the properties were added
but uh
what's happening for me is my avatar is randomly moving around unity when i move the arm around
hardy nest
I have a problem. So I just learned how to add facial expressions. Only problem is that when I activate the expresion, my hand doesn't move ( Peace sign, pointing, thumbs up). The expresions work, but my hand just stays in the defult postion. Don't know what I missed. x-x
tropic nova
just add property > transform > position first
then it should let you record your particle effect
but dont actually change position values. just leave at 0 0 0
iron crescent
alright so jimb what was going on with my error do you know?
pseudo pewter
Does anyone know how to import vmd into blender and play it's animation?
frail pasture
Has anyone figured out how to apply an MMD (VMD) animation to models using the new CATS tool plugin?
tropic nova
@iron crescent sorry i dont know, i just started animating yesterday lol
iron crescent
yeet
frail pasture
Hitting 'Fix Model' breaks the VMD animation preview for me (and all tutorials uploaded online aren't working since they don't use CATS)
pseudo pewter
@frail pasture did you manage to get it imported and play a preview?
frail pasture
Yes its imported but the preview doesnt show the model moving at all.
pseudo pewter
I think that I've imported it properly but Idk how to play it
Idd
Looks like we are in the same boat 😛
frail pasture
Yep 😄
tropic nova
does anyone know why my emote bugs out my character and i cant move? its for a generic rig
azure pilot
iirc vmd uses one of the mmd stuff to animate but cats plugin removes that
azure pilot
you could try manually fixing up the avatar yourself
mystic hull
@tropic nova ^^
frail pasture
Yeah... that seems to be the only solution atm @pseudo pewter @azure pilot
tropic nova
@mystic hull you can also just delete the position property if it messes with anything in the animation
pseudo pewter
Oh boy
azure pilot
If you hide the textures and bones you will see something like rounded cylinders all over with lines drawn to the bottom
mystic hull
@tropic nova If it didn't work I'm just going to call it a night
azure pilot
Not sure what that thing is called but im sure the vmd animation uses that
feral sedge
ive thrown a question in rigging channel if someone knows
mystic hull
Thanks for the help though @tropic nova
tropic nova
np
does anyone know if it is possible to add an emote to a generic rig without your avatar bugging out?
azure pilot
Wait if it isnt humanoid how do you even import it into vrc?
pseudo pewter
@azure pilot you meant the rigidbodies?
tropic nova
@azure pilot you can import almost anything as long as it has an avatar descriptor

and in the video
the animation button is not in my unity

how tho

I got one question, maybe you guys know that allready. I want to let something appear in my hand while it dissapears from the model itself. I tried to unhide it in like the clone, but that didnt work in vrchat. do i have to do something else?
sour hedge
heya, is there a way to make my tail jiggle (not dynamic bones), as in moving in a certain way on it's own? I'm guess animation but I'm unsure how to realize it
tropic nova
yea you can do an animation. if you go to youtube and follow a tutorial it will tell you the basics. you just have to rotate some bones
sour hedge
oh, ok. Good to know. If I were to want it permanently, do I have to add it to... well, the idle animation?
cuz in unity I can't seem to add more animations to the cao for example
clear yew
So, I was wondering if I was supposed to be ripping the animations I want to modify from the VRChat SDK and modifying them rather than making animations from scratch for my ovverrides.
steady plover
Idle and possibly walking
clear yew
I made idle animations from scratch in Blender and used them in an ovverride, but it disables my visemes. I was wondering if it was because I made them from scratch rather than ripping one from the SDK and modifying it. I only mention it here because I know others have the same issue and this may be a potential fix. I'll try it tomorrow myself to find out.
steady plover
Not sure, sorry man
oblique panther
gonna have to ask again
i wanna do facial expressions
and im watching this tutorial video that has this button
but i dont
the animation
to cancel blinking when i do the expression
steady plover
Do you not have the animation tab? Or is the missing button the only problem?
steady plover
I forgot how, but you can google to figure out how to make the animation tab appear, its something simple
oblique panther
hm i cant find it
this is so annoying
@languid lark you know everything

when putting a weapon as a hand gesture override, do i need to edit the keyframes for both hands or only the one holding the weapon?
I've seen people do both in different tutorials
Gotcha, thanks!

So I made myself a Kakashi avatar to the game, I was thinking about adding lightning/particle to his hand with sounds. Any pros, knows how to go about this stuff, pretty new to sounds and particles :x
Example
I know that there already is another avatar with this effect.. Maybe I could get it in some way?
fierce ivy
can someone sauce me dynamic bones?
fierce ivy
anyway to get it off the black market?
clear yew
not that i know of since the license would be tied to your account i believe
clear yew
anyone know how i add facial expressions to my gestures without overriding hands?
quiet rose
royal sky
Anyone know how stop my cloak from clipping into my arm? I've tried adding colliders and its helping only a little
frozen wind
are there any good particle effects that dont render as 2d sprites?
I found a few in the asset store but when they went ingame they didnt look very good
trying to get an orb with smoke coming from it style
abstract dew
Question, I wanted to do 2d mouth visemes, followed the tutorial (the 1h one) to do it and everything is fine in blender but the visemes dont work in unity, as in when i type the values in the blend shapes in the skinned mesh renderer, it changes nothing no matter what value I put in.
My thought is maybe its a problem with the model? I used a collada .dae model imported into blender and then exported as .fbx
Is it impossible to do somthing like this on that type of models?
light tiger
Quick question, what happens if your custom emote is longer than 10 seconds
torpid light
it just stops early

So I managed to get eye tracking working (sort of) except for some reason I have times where the characters eyes just roll back, especially on short people. What's up with that?
torpid light
@frozen wind There aren't really any particle effects that are rendered in 3d. You can get a decent smoke by adding some shading to the texture so it looks something like https://gyazo.com/f44d6921048dbb75bb3f3102f493d26e
it makes it look more 3d if there is a bit of fake lighting to it
swift root
Anyone knows how to get a gun to shoot?
craggy sage
so question, when you do eyes and for a custom head, do you need to mesh and rigg the eyelids?

Hey guys~ anybody has a second to help me with animator related problems in unity?
torpid light
post the problem i might be able to help
proven mango
my character has a hat as a blendshape, how would i be able to make an animation that toggles the hat on/off?
sour hedge
okay i fiddled around a bit and tried to make a part of the model visible if I do an animation. Now, I only added it on an emote instead of gestures cuz I don't have VR yet. In the animation the additional stuff is visible, but I don't see it ig. Is it even possible with emotes instead of gestures? Or is there a difference in how to make em?
like, custom dance emots n stuff works
lone yoke
Question, can I add a weapon and the animation to it after I have already made animations without the weapon attached?
vale field
Does anyone know where to get good animations, all the mixiamo ones seem kinda buggy
gritty thicket
Is there a way to make animations work by pressing a key? VRC_EventHandler and VRC_Trigger are currently not supported.

Quick question, is there a way that I can bind both a sound and a prop to the same gesture? Like a lightsaber with sound.
torpid light
yea just add an audio source to the prop
light tiger
is it possible to crossfade an emission map into another emission map in an animation?
clear yew
How do you go about that? 🤔
torpid light
Go to the game object and click add component and search for audio source
then for the audio clip drag in the sound file
clear yew
Ok I'll give it a try. thanks!
devout fog
is adding custom emotes to a character a lot of work?
clear yew
Well actually it is a particle.. So I do not have the option to add a component, atleast that's what I know
torpid light
so you already have the object appearing on a certain gesture right @clear yew ?
clear yew
@torpid light Yes, the particle/lightning works fine ingame, I just want sound with it
torpid light
So whichever game object has the particle system on it is the one you need to add the audio source to
clear yew
That is the hands?
torpid light
depends on what object you are enabling/disabling
