animation

[torpid light]

what did you set up in the animation?

[clear yew]

I used my right wrist (all the stretched right fingers)

I think there is 15 options of them

[torpid light]

So in the animation i made i have a game object called frost particle system that's parented to my hand https://i.gyazo.com/8636162aa39000ab93cc0e51080f0f93.png

I would have to find the frost particle system game object in the heirachy and add the audio source like this https://i.gyazo.com/e5e4e25a3733b3a6106b2cafad1a35ca.gif

[clear yew]

Lemme see

@torpid light if i want to add face expressions to default hand gestures, do I have to reanimate the hands manually or is it possible for me to attach the face expressions to the default hand gestures?

[torpid light]

i think since you have to override the animations you need to reposition the fingers like the original animation

i haven't done that though

you might be able to find the existing "handgun" or whatever animation and copy the keyframes to save you some work

[clear yew]

i see. do you know where the files are?

[torpid light]

they are in the sdk somewhere. Try searching for handgun/victory/fist or whatever the one you want to override is called

[clear yew]

got it.

[mighty spindle]

So i can do the animation by first going into blender and then making 2 different items then animating it in unity, but then when i try to upload the hierarchy is incorrect. The only way I personally can fix that is by using CATS in Blender, but when i use the fix tool in blender it merges the 2 items together and then I cant animate them in unity . Hopefully that was a clear, but can someone help please

[trim dagger]

wot

[clear yew]

hmm i cant find the gesture anims

maybe i should redl the sdk

[torpid light]

You could add a cube the the scene and then add an animator to the cube and add the override empty to the controller slot

and then open the animation tab and they will all be in there

[clear yew]

oh i see them now

do i just drag and drop it into the animation panel?

[light tiger]

hey is it possible to keyframe the emission map's slider in custom animations?

let alone crossfade the emission maps into another emission map?

[torpid light]

So you want to copy the hand gesture so you don't have to position them youself right? So copy all of the first keyframes and put them into your new animation. Then you can do whatever other gesture stuff on top of that

[clear yew]

oh cool

[torpid light]

I don't really know what you mean by crossfade emission maps, sorry. As far as i know you can't edit material properties in animations. you would probably need a custom shader to do what you are asking

[light tiger]

ah okay

[torpid light]

maybe if you describe the effect you are trying to achieve i might be able to help idk

[light tiger]

i'll send it to you gimmie a second

[vale field]

Is there a way to make animations longer in unity, like loop

[clear yew]

so the gesture in sample assets look blank....

the hands are still

[pseudo pewter]

Hmn

Can anyone help with my animation

Playing emote seems to place my avatar ~1m into the ground

[solar relic]

@pseudo pewter yes animation does that to the avatar

[pseudo pewter]

Can it be fixed?

[torpid light]

@pseudo pewter I'll paste what solved it for me and a few others

If your character is going in the ground during the animation you need to add a property to your animation called "Animator.Root.T" and change the Y value of that transform to offset the amount you are under the ground.
You can take the Animator.Root.T from the idle animation and use that instead of trying to figure it out yourself. With the original character that you upload selected you should see this in the animation tab https://i.gyazo.com/e4ec42f7be8b487bdbfe4dda00f52e22.png

Scroll down inside there until you find the animator.root.t and copy that. Then go to your duplicate character that you do the animations on and paste it in to the animation you made. That should solve being in the ground. If your character slowly goes into the ground towards the end of the animation, then you need to be sure that the last frame of the animation also has the same Animator.Root.T values. You can add it yourself without copying like this https://i.gyazo.com/0f84825296593a9b5fe99cf7a229ac42.gif

[pseudo pewter]

Hmn

Thanks! I'll give it a try

[trim dagger]

im going to make an updated video on doing animation overrides and audio

because so many ppl keep asking me how to do it after watching the videos

[clear yew]

i just cant seem to copy hand gestures properly

[torpid light]

Maybe they aren't actually setup in the sdk. It's probably easier to just manually move them at this point

[clear yew]

damn. sadness

one more thing, do i position both hands and they will move independently in the game?

[tall zodiac]

Do you just make a idle animation of blinking if you want blinking right? Sorry for just asking suddenly

[torpid light]

try following this tutorial https://youtu.be/V0l4-pH3vI4?t=324

he manually moves the fingers

i'm not sure @clear yew

[clear yew]

okay

[torpid light]

i assume if you setup say the hand gun to position your left hand as a peace sign and your right hand as an OK then it would use the one for the specific hand

since there is only one animation

but i can't really confirm that's how it works

[tall zodiac]

Using ok sign on one hand is same as on the other hand

They are not seperate i believe

[frozen wind]

is there an easier way to add all the fingers when making a hand animation rather than going through add property>animator and clicking each part of the finger?

[clear yew]

so say i want to have handgun gesture i would probably need to position the fingers on both hands?

i just copied the properties from the sample animations and it make my life easier

[pseudo pewter]

@torpid light thanks man!

That fixed it

[frozen wind]

any way to change clipping distance when in animation?

[torpid light]

nice

like camera cliping distance? I don't think so

[frozen wind]

damn

[torpid light]

i don't think we have any control over what the camera does

[wispy parrot]

Does anyone have a good resource where people are getting their Emote animations from? Like Breakdancing, Dabbing, etc.?

Or maybe a tutorial on how to make animations? Something other than using MMD and a Kinect sensor kinda has it's faults

[wraith hawk]

mixamo.com

[wispy parrot]

Besides mixamo, their animations aren't quite what I'm looking for, and they're a bit more generic

Not unless they had a user-uploaded animations section on Mixamo's website

[wraith hawk]

WEll those are the free one if you want good animation go to unity asset store

https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/search/page=1/sortby=popularity/query=category:138

[wispy parrot]

Again, looking for some of the animations that people have added to public-use avatars, like Dabbing, Breakdancing, caramelldansen, etc...

[wraith hawk]

pretty sure those are custom made animation

[wispy parrot]

Er, well they must have come from somewhere, some known resource

[wraith hawk]

custom made = made from scratch

[wispy parrot]

Those are pretty intricately made to be made from scratch though

Especially the breakdancing animation

[wraith hawk]

dabbing is pretty easy animation

[wispy parrot]

True

Well I thought I'd ask here and see if anyone knew where these people were getting these animations from

Also, do animations like these have to be loaded onto the model in blender and exported internally with the .fbx model? Or can they be loaded/applied to the model externally when in unity?

[quick pine]

so i have an issue

can someone help

when i use my face animation my body flies into the air

this is the issue

[gentle pine]

nice naked man 😄

[shrewd glacier]

I know it's a small chance, but I've been trying to do this for the last 3 hours with a tutorial and I'm lost, possible someone could pm me in a call and walk me through this, or perhaps send me a really good tutorial?

And all I'm trying to do is add a weapon to my avatar

[tall zodiac]

Made blinking animation and put it on idle but i sink into the ground with it

Due to the character going that weird pose

[atomic aurora]

ingame? or in unity?

[tall zodiac]

ingame

[atomic aurora]

what settings did you gave to the animation?

[tall zodiac]

maybe its because i used bones instead of visemes since im lazy 🤔

rotate eyelid

[mellow oak]

hopefully two simple questions here

1. Is there a way to disable blinking while a gesture is being used?

[atomic aurora]

yes

There is

[mellow oak]

mind explaining what to look for?

[atomic aurora]

Yes, give me a sec I gona take pictures so it will be easier for you to find 😃

[mellow oak]

haha, thanks foxy

[tall zodiac]

ugh i wish my character did not go into that sitting position when using blink for some reason

[mellow oak]

the other question, if I want to have an animation of, lets say, ears moving down my head and holding there, whats the best way to get it from "flickering" through the animation?

[tall zodiac]

I cant even change it to default stance in Unity either

[atomic aurora]

so , to the blinking stuff

https://gyazo.com/f8184056f5d62bbfb6004d06dbae6f4f

you just simply Disable the animation for the blinking

I'm not sure if this is the right way, prove me if not. but as far as i know this works

[mellow oak]

hey, as long as it works I wont complain

[clear yew]

@torpid light Dont know if you're still here but the sound I applied to the lightning/particle doesnt work. When I upload it it says "Audio sources found on Avatar, they will be adjusted to safe limits, if necessary

@torpid light I can upload it but I do not hear it ingame

[torpid light]

i'm not sure, maybe this will help https://vrcat.club/threads/audio-source-setup-for-avatar-sounds.179/

ONSP Audio Source always must present with Spartialization Enabled checkbox enabled 

make sure those two are setup properly

but at the same time i've heard of issues with audio sources on avatars lately and this thread has people saying similar thing

It seems like putting sounds on Avatars is nearly pointless now. They seem to either:
1. Not work
2. Work but so low no one can hear it
3. Work but so loud the entire server can hear it

[clear yew]

I see

[torpid light]

it's possible it's playing but you have to have your head really close to hear it

maybe try putting one on your head to see if that's the case

or just put your head into the source if you are on vr

[thick badger]

do you make custom emotes by just doing an animation in unity?

[tall zodiac]

anyone know why my blends shapes dont work in unity?

As in when making a animation

Setting them to 100 does nothing

Works fine in C4D 😦 Worked before but not now. Guess i will just give up

[trim dagger]

alright

i made a 50 minute video on animation overriding and how to put audio into the game

:^)

[gentle pine]

yay, do you have a link?

[proven mango]

So i have this animation to make my character put on his hat

its a blendshape that's activated when i make a fist

is there any way to make the animation toggle?

[smoky pendant]

Does anyone know how to set up drawing with an avatar, like how people draw with their finger, or if there is a tutorial for that?

[mellow oak]

@atomic aurora if you're still there, I forgot to mention I did the blinking with the CATS plugin, so I don't have that specific option under animation. I've played around a bit now with other options but still having the issue of blinking while eyes shut.

[fallen scarab]

Does your model have to have a full set of hand bones in order to trigger gestures? My model doesn't have hands so I just added some thumb, index and middle finger bones to it with nothing attached to them in order to get full body IK. For some reason my gesture overrides just aren't triggering so I just wondered if that might be the reason why.

[wraith hawk]

@smoky pendant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi7i4sF_BgQ

[smoky pendant]

thank you! @wraith hawk

[prime holly]

Any good docs on using the mixamo animations for VRChat?

Or is it just overriding the animations?

[mellow oak]

so how does the cats plugin go about animating eye blinking? I've tried just about everything I can think of now. I'll probably just go back and remove it in blender then manually do it, but I wanted to see if anyone knew before I did.

[knotty zinc]

is there a way I can push a specific material (things like blushing) closer to the face so I can actually appear in front?

whenever, I use my animation, it actually appears behind my face

[abstract wyvern]

If it has a blend shape you can activate it in blender

[hardy nest]

Hey guys, I just figured out how to add custom facial expresions but when I activate them in game, my hand stays in the defult postion.

Don't know what I missed.

[regal hollow]

@hardy nest why would the hand do anything?

[hardy nest]

If I asign a facial expression to the Thumbs up postion on my hand, when I activate it the hand will not do a thumbs up.

[regal hollow]

aye

thats because you replaced the animation

[prime holly]

What animation do I override for the VR Running animation?

I changed the "RUNFWD" but that kept playing when standing in place and also disabled my controller input for the hands

[hardy nest]

So do I need to repostion every finger one by one?

[regal hollow]

If you want to do the gesture and the facial animation, you would need to ensure the animation changes your face and changes your hand shape.

[hardy nest]

OKay. I'll just have to learn how to model the hands.

Wasn't sure if there was somehting I did wrong or if I had to just remodel the hand shapes.

[prime holly]

Sokkz you could take the animations from th default thumbsup animation file

Than combine that with the face animation in one animation file

[hardy nest]

Where are those? In the VDSK?

[rigid seal]

Does anyone have the pack with all the stupid emotes like CQC and the hovering spin kick?
Head spin and dab too?

[prime holly]

@rigid seal https://www.mixamo.com

[rigid seal]

I know of those ones

But there are some really stupid looking ones that aren't on there

[hardy nest]

Oh sweet! Thanks a lot!

Can't find the defualt animations

@prime holly

[prime holly]

[hardy nest]

Oh! LOL

Thanks! 😄

[clear yew]

hallo I have little problem with edditing animation , so i am trying to make a gun for my avatar but it's sound effect seems will active when i just pull it out

is some other way that i can pull out the gun and "shoot" whenever i want?

[regal hollow]

@clear yew I may be wrong but i think people use two animations, one for a shooting gun and one for a stationary one.

and they switch between them

[clear yew]

oh.. So I have to make one with no sound effect and make one that have sound effect on the same time?

[prime holly]

Yup, two seperate animations

[clear yew]

alright I should give it a try :

thank you :3

[vale field]

does anyone here have like a naruto run animation file?

[prime holly]

?

[solar relic]

Mixamo

[prime holly]

https://www.mixamo.com/#/?genres=&page=1&query=run&type=Motion%2CMotionPack

[vale field]

oh lol, another question, how would i extend some animations

for example when i flair, i only do one cycle

[prime holly]

Increase the time to play?

Enable loop and set the amount of loops?

[vale field]

😮

kk

[clear yew]

Any chance someone knows where I might get my hands on an animation for the running animation from when you go dark souls with your best mates?

I've seen people with diff varients of it in game, just hoping someone might have one or know of one I can grab, just now starting with animation so making one from scratch doesn't sound appealing.

[prime holly]

Not anything on Mixamo?

[clear yew]

i have a more question for animation edditing . So I want to acctive my c4 with a sound and disappear it immediately will the sound effect will be cut if i dis active the game object in the 0:01 ?

[vale field]

@prime holly So to set the amount of loop is to set the cycle offset correct?

Or incorrect?

[prime holly]

Ah might not be able to do it without a script. you can duplicate the Animation in the animation window to repeat after the first

aka copy the properties of the first and place it after the last part finishes

[vale field]

Note, i'm trying to do emotes

Does what you say still apply?

[uncut monolith]

Is there a good tutorial for particle effects? Like I want to add the ability to shoot with my gun, and I'd like to add fire effect when pulling the trigger, but I'm not sure where to begin

I already know about sounds though

[open scroll]

i just finished up a sword animation but whenever i do it in game my character stays the same height but the legs come off the ground up into my chest, what did i do wrong

[clear yew]

@uncut monolith https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsaGVhIVSf8 may help you

[uncut monolith]

ah thanks

[clear yew]

but i have to notice you that the tutorial only lead your sound effect turned when you pull out your props

so i am not sure

someone told me that each prop maybe you wanna gun

you have to make 2

[uncut monolith]

I'm thinking I probably have to use up two gestures for this. One where I simply pull the gun out

and one that shoots

[clear yew]

once with sound effect and once don't have it

[uncut monolith]

Ah yeah, just what I was thinking

[clear yew]

ohright

Good luck with you then :3

[uncut monolith]

thanks!

[glad topaz]

Hi! So i have a prop weapon that i seperated from my avatar in Blender and i was wondering how to add it in as a prop? or do i have to re add it through blender before hand?

[regal hollow]

@glad topaz export it as its own fella

then skoosh it into to unity with your other boi

place it in your fellas hand

make it invisible

badaboom

badabing

you are ready to animate my friend

[glad topaz]

ok thanks

[terse sonnet]

Got another question. So I wanted to make an animation using some blend shapes attached to a gesture (I chose hand open), and the animation plays correctly when I open my hand, but then all hand motion (grip, point, etc) afterwards becomes impossible until I reset it with a different emote. Any reason why this is happening?

[craggy sage]

So why is that a character is rigged and moving in Unity, but not in ChatVR, its stuck in T-pose

[glad topaz]

im doing custom animations but when i open animations tab i already have a huge amount that came with the models files, do i get rid of them or what?

[clear yew]

Okay, so if I want my visemes to keep working, I have to do all of my animating in Unity. Which sucks, because I have to do all of my animations from scratch. But I can't figure out how to transform my model out of the ground. Any tips?

@glad topaz Remove the controller/override from your duplicated model.

[glad topaz]

@clear yew ooooooo ok thanks

that fixed it, much appreciated

[hardy nest]

So I duplicated the defult hand animations and added facial expresions to them but my hand will not move when I activte the expression. They stay in the defult postion. Any ideas?

[terse sonnet]

I'm having an identical issue ^

[iron flume]

I have a question. i have made an animation for a weapon and it works fine(its a simple sword) but i want to add the weapon to the avatar and i want the weapon on the avatar to disappear when i have the one in the hand, do i just add the weapon to the mesh? or a bone? and since i did an duplicate off the avatar for the animation maybe i dont have to do enything?

[prisma kite]

I have seen avatars that are able to write things in the air with their fingers, kinda like with a marker in presentation room. What is it called and how is it done?

[regal hollow]

I would guess its just an particle system that leaves a trail

but im not sure

[prisma kite]

Ok, gonna try looking into it

[glad topaz]

this is from a custom animation vid, but i cant find this enable animation in my drop down list. I only have animator in my list.

[oblique panther]

@glad topaz i had this problem yesterday

add a animation property to your model

[glad topaz]

oh ok, im trying to make it where my custom face anim doesnt collide with auto blinking

[oblique panther]

yeah i know

i did the same

[glad topaz]

turns out i have to make my custom blinking anim...

looking into it now lol

[oblique panther]

also i have still this problem that my arms are not fully stretching in vr

they're always bend

[neat gate]

is anyone good with animations and particles here

[glad topaz]

yea im sitting so i always have my arms bent sadly

[shy oak]

Does anyone know how to add moving material to their avatar?

Like moving mesh

[glad topaz]

@shy oak like dynamic bones?

[shy oak]

No just like the texture

[glad topaz]

well if you mean like skirst/hair thats dynamic bones

but textures like colors idk sorry

[shy oak]

Oh ok thanks

[oblique panther]

so when i stretch my arms

they're still kinda bend

i looked into weight painting but thats not the issue

i adjusted my ingame height

re-calibrated my vive

it works on some avatars

but not on most

[iron flume]

its there a way to make the weapon on the avatar to dissapear when i use the animation for it in the hand?

[oblique panther]

the only way to fully stretch my arms is to point the controlers away that i almost drop them

idk it sounds like a vive issue

but im lost here

[clear yew]

It sounds like a bone length issue to me, but if you so find out I would really really REALLY appreciate you pinging me what the solution was

[candid estuary]

did the sdk update or something? my animation override stopped working, and says the list is empty

[uncut monolith]

Say if I want to give a particle a fire texture, what file format would that need to be?

.png's dont work well

[terse sonnet]

Don't you need a certain kind of material rendering for it to work well?

[keen ether]

I could use some help debugging my custom override for taking out a sword.

[uncut monolith]

i dont even know

sounds annoying, ill just use a yellow ball using the particle creator. You only see it for a split second anyway cause it's gunfire

[clear yew]

@prisma kite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi7i4sF_BgQ

[shut iron]

https://imgur.com/a/mJmmR
anyone know what's wrong? all i did was add a shape key for blend shape, and now the face mesh doesn't move with the head

[clear yew]

@shut iron Did you join the mesh before exporting as fbx?

From your screeny it seems like you forgot to.

To me, at least.

[shut iron]

i didn't. never had to before. how do i do that?

[clear yew]

Do you have CAT?

The plugin?

[shut iron]

i do

[hardy nest]

Get CatsBlender

Then there is a button that joins the meshes

[clear yew]

Hit Fix or click Join. I usually hit join because I worry CAT might touch something I don't want it to.

Then try exporting it again.

It may be that the face mesh isn't weighted to those bones though.

One step at a time.

[shut iron]

cats doesnt work for my xps model anyways, so the join meshes button is grayed out. i'm sure there's an easy way to do it manually though, right? ill try googling it

[undone pier]

hey uhh.. so im working on like a torch with animation, but after adding this flame effect with light to it.. the torch auto turns on even without using the animation..

https://gyazo.com/5b9e0d29414764268342fe90e164acfe

[shut iron]

it probably means the fire effect for the torch isn't disable in the inspector.

[undone pier]

how would i do that?

well i fixed the fire, but now the stick is..

doing it

on its own

[shut iron]

@undone pier go to your torch object and uncheck the box next to the name of the fire component, or whatever it is. the check box would be at the right, in the inspector.

[undone pier]

yeah i did that stuff

[clear yew]

@shut iron Try Ctrl + J with everything selected.

It's A to select everything.

[shut iron]

i just joined the face mesh to a nearby head mesh

[clear yew]

You should still connect the entire mesh together.

It's an optimization thing.

[shut iron]

alright, but ill worry about that once i get this friggin lip sync working..... ugh

it still doesnt move

[quick pine]

why is this happening

i literally tried so much and it wont stop

[shut iron]

maybe it's because the servers arent working right now anyways? like everyone is stuck in a tpose, so maybe lip syncing isnt working either?

[quick pine]

i just put lip sync on and it works

[shut iron]

oh, i was talking to the other person. for you, i'm not quite sure

does it do that in unity?

[undone glade]

@quick pine do you have custom animations?

[quick pine]

yea

[undone glade]

How many?

[quick pine]

that whats causing it

just onew

the face changes

but then my entire body goes into the air

[undone glade]

Did you by chance move your avatar while doing the animations for a better look?

[quick pine]

by that you mean put it into the test screen?

[undone glade]

I want you to look in the animation you have and see if there is a location as well set

[quick pine]

ok this is gunna sound stupid

but what do you mean by location

[undone glade]

Should say position

[prisma kite]

@clear yew thank you so much! Will help immensly since i cant talk

[quick pine]

does this help

[undone glade]

While have that selected go to your animations tab

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/396378834364268554/396419547969617920/Untitle_2_-_Copy.jpg

Red box is what I want to see

[undone glade]

Yep just as I thought... delete position and you're good

[quick pine]

before i do something stupid

can you highlight it

literally just remove the position key

[undone glade]

Yep the one that says position

[quick pine]

ok

[undone glade]

Delete it

And then you should be good to go :+1:

Make sure just in case to re apply the animation and stuff. Not sure if that is a thing, but better safe than sorry

Pretty much what you would normally do for animations

[pure depot]

guys

question if i may ask

who can teach me to do custom animations ?

[undone glade]

There's a simple video I can share with you if that helps

[pure depot]

well

[undone glade]

Well also depends what you're trying to do

[pure depot]

i dont want like importing an animation from the net

then add it to a character

i want the create the animation from scratch

[undone glade]

You want to face facial expressions or weapons?

Or both?

[pure depot]

nope

emote override

[undone glade]

Yeah

[pure depot]

keyboard user here

[undone glade]

Ah

[pure depot]

not vr controller user

[undone glade]

There was a video on one of these channels just talking about what you want I believe.

[pure depot]

i mean

i dont want to use maximo to import animations

and add it to a character already

i want to create that animation from 0

then add it

[undone glade]

https://youtu.be/yfVmfGOOkOw

[pure depot]

ok thx

[undone glade]

See if that helps, I haven't watched it yet

[quick pine]

THANK YOU SO MUCH

I LOVE YOU

[pure depot]

what i want to add

[quick pine]

that fixed the spaz problem too

[pure depot]

actually gonna show it in private

dude i cant tell you how thankful i am

holy shit

LOL

[undone glade]

That's why I know

[quick pine]

lolk

lol*

can i ask one more question

[undone glade]

Shoot

[quick pine]

how do i turn off the blinking animation while doing that

[undone glade]

I honestly have no clue

[quick pine]

all good

i figured i should ask

[undone glade]

Shouldn't bother too much though

[quick pine]

nah its all good

its just the eye thats closed goes into itself a tiny bit

[undone glade]

Unless you're blinking faster than 5 seconds

[quick pine]

but its honestly not a problem im just so happy it works now

[undone glade]

:+1:

[quick pine]

alright gn

So I think I did the animation correct

But whenever I do the gesture for the override in vrchat

Hallo.. I have a question. My gun's fire mod in game is a little bit loud .. So i wanna turn it a little bit lower.. I have to rebuild the animation or i can just turn the volume in the gun's Audio Source?

[oblique panther]

how would i go about changing the idle animation

in unity

im thinking like this https://i.imgur.com/0JA5Hgd.png

nope

i created a monster

lol

[undone glade]

@clear yew you wouldn't have to make a new one. You can always go edit it by selecting the animation and going to the animation tab, but otherwise see if you can lower the audio source maybe that will help.

[clear yew]

@undone glade alright I still will give it a try thanks :3

[undone glade]

Yep, just wanted to give you as well as anyone else a heads up if you feel like just deleting it and dreading the extra time needed to be put in

[prime holly]

@clear yew unless your chsnging the volume in the animation, than you can just change the audio source

[clear yew]

@prime holly Ok. thanks :3

[dusk yacht]

Where can I get custom animations? Are all custom ones from like packs in the Unity store?

[prime holly]

Mixamo?

[dusk yacht]

Anything I can add to a character in Unity

[prime holly]

https://www.mixamo.com

Upload yiur model, select an animation and download the fbx

You can than set up a avatar controller to use the animations it has attached to the fbx for your own character

Upload yiur model, select an animation and download the fbx

[dusk yacht]

It couldnt map my character apparently

It is in FBX and the bones should all be there

[prime holly]

Does unity automatically your bines when you set it to humanoid?

Or do you have to manually set some

[dusk yacht]

I have to manually set like one or two

Those are probably what its having isses with

[old merlin]

[spice meteor]

quick question if I import a model in generic the bones get removed right I cant animate a generic model with bones right?

[alpine mason]

Bones don't get removed. You just won't be able to use the default animations provided by VRChat.

😦

[brazen crater]

it's baisicly the same, just use the particle module in unity

if i put the particle in the model's armature it will appear all time

[brazen crater]

then disable it and do the same thing he did with the light sword

light sword? how to enable/desable?

[amber talon]

Quick noob question, how do you get the animations of the fbx into ani files out of the model?

ctrl d doesnt seem to work

[analog haven]

Is it possible to change to a different material without affecting the main model? For example, I'm wielding a knife. I want the character skin to be bloodied. I was thinking of duplicating the materials and changing them in another folder and attach that to the anim model. But that doesn't seem to be working, at least for me.

[icy fog]

I made a passive blinking animation but for some reason it is very weirdly sped up... any suggestions?

And making it slower doesnt help

its like it tries to blink for 1 frame and then reverts

(in-game that is, in Unity it looks fine)

[brazen crater]

@analog haven try posting that in another channel maybe avatar or something like that

[amber talon]

found my answer

[analog haven]

Well it's an animation so I figured here would be best.

[brazen crater]

@icy fog You have to limit it to 1 second, because you are overrwriting a 1 second animation

You may have more luck by changing the spawning dimension to world cause then the lifetime of the particles may not be limited by the animation time. But I myself am not quite sure how to do that.

[mellow oak]

Do dynamic bones override animations? I'm seeing it in the avatar menu but not in game

[brazen crater]

as far as I know they shouldn't override the animations, cause the animations are not designed for dynamic bones from the get go. You just have to make sure, that you don't have a dynamic bone tied to the basic animation set.

[mellow oak]

I'll remove it in a second and test it. I have full body tracking also though, so that could be the problem.

[icy depot]

Hello everyone, i would like to ask a question.

[amber talon]

I am trying to make mouth flap work, this is the jaw. it doesnt work in game

Any clues to why it wouldnt work?

[icy fog]

It works in unity but not blender?

[muted prairie]

enforce t-pose @amber talon

[amber talon]

Ehh, that doesnt work either. And I just fixed the claw fingers, t-pose screws them up

[muted prairie]

why do you have 100 bones in your face though 🤔

[amber talon]

converted so from the game, expressions and such

The one selected is definitely a good bone for mouth flap though

moves the whole jaw

[craggy sage]

@icy fog yeah, the problem was that i had more than one mesh in the file, so CATS, im guessing couldnt pick one >.< thanks

[amber talon]

https://www.reddit.com/r/VRchat/comments/7mpqg7/help_with_jaw_flap_rig/ Here is exactly the issue I seem to have. Instead of moving, the mouth just stays agape

[unkempt moat]

While on the topic of mouths
When using viseme for the mouth and not the jaw flap
What should i change if the mouth stays open when not talking within vrchat? 👀

[icy fog]

@amber talon if possible use Visemes. CATS in blender can help provide automatic visemes. And the mouth agape is general problem. The way to fix that is in Unity, when you go to set up the rig (where you change animation type to humanoid) click configure, and then "muscles & settings" if the mouth is open there, go back to "mapping", and select the jaw bone in "Avatar Configuration". Rotate that up a bit. It will look weird there, but keep on switching back and forth between muscles & settings until and Mapping until it looks right in muscles & settings, and then it will look fine in game

same for you @unkempt moat

probably at least

I had the problem with the mouth always being open and thats how I fixed it. Looks really weird when rotating it into the skull, but in game it looks good

[amber talon]

So I should use vesimes? dont I need to have a bunch of extra bones for that?

[unkempt moat]

I got no jaw bone though 👀

[icy fog]

Vandos, if you have 1 jaw bone it should be fine. My models I've used only had one bone, and then it worked at least

Oclac, are you using 2d textures?

[unkempt moat]

Nope xD

[icy fog]

What system are you using for visemes to make the mouth open?

[unkempt moat]

No idea how its called but with the https://i.imgur.com/qJmWqiG.png stuff

[amber talon]

I have no idea how the vesime works. Though when I use the jaw open and close in the muscles with mouth flap it works fine in the editor. And it was closed, I could open it and close it again just fine

[icy fog]

Yeah those of course, but check in Unity. Is there no jaw bone there? I would be very confused if there isnt. There should be something that makes the mouth open, and whatever that is, use that and rotate it up a bit

Set the Jaw open and close to its middle neutral state @amber talon Is it open then?

[amber talon]

Oh yeah it is open nvm

[unkempt moat]

Only got a toung bone : s

[icy fog]

then vandos go through with what I said

[amber talon]

SO i can fix it with the mouth flap or do i need to switch it to vesime?

[icy fog]

I have no idea how to fix it with mouth flap, but if you have the shape keys for voice vesimes are a lot easier.

[unkempt moat]

https://i.imgur.com/tLhNGpd.png https://i.imgur.com/jMWte0m.png
No mouth bone can be found anywhere (cant be assed to show everything ;p but as it should be under the head part anyway 🤷 )

[amber talon]

I do have the mouth closed in the editor now on mouth flap. But I need to use the vesime then. Alright, ill have to watcha tutorial I have no idea what all those fields are

[icy fog]

and @oclac , can you send screenshot of this:

If there is no Jaw there then... hmmmm

[unkempt moat]

It's top to bottom left to right

I.e. wave = 1 dance = 5

The rest I don't remember

I have edited the visemes generated by cat's to also move another part of the mesh on every viseme

After I start talking it does indeed move that part but it never resets to the basic form

Anyone got a clue on how to fix that?

[blissful wave]

Is there a way to lock the hips in place?

Or have some part of the mesh otherwise locked around the hips?

[blissful wave]

Okay, I figured that part out, but

what's the best way to get rid of the running/walking/crouching/etc. animations? If I had the animation override set but leave those options blank, then it still pulls in the default animations

[red linden]

leaving them blank will just put in the default animations

you're gonna have to have another animation to replace them if you don't want the defaults

[blissful wave]

Yeah, I'm just wondering if there's a minimum you can do to make them act as if they just don't happen

Like, if I just put in a completely blank animation, will that stop it?

[red linden]

you can probably just put in an empty animation, but whenever those animations are supposed to be played it will make the avatar go in the weird default pose when you animate

No, just the standard package from the website. Using 5.6.3p1.

[ionic basin]

yep, tried maximizing and minimizing.

or just the mesh?

[muted prairie]

yes

i got the model from an mmd file and used the cats plugin on blender to make it work, then imported it as an fbx file into unity...

it was a hair bone called BLR

I can even press the play button in unity and see my character correctly emulating the animation.

[loud violet]

I've been trying to find the issue with the rigging, but can't find much. Everything seems correct the only issue I could find is the spine is inverted, front animations go back and left animations go right an so on, but only there. Everything else works correctly.

And yes, this model has the least helpful node / transform names.

[clear yew]

@loud violet - Merging the model into the other model isn't difficult is it?

[loud violet]

You have to add the model and make sure the models animate correctly together. If you want someone else added to the model that's static / only moves with the other already rigged model, it's not that hard.

no, im not setup for lip movement.

then whats the problem?

"How do I stop my character from blinking through an facial expression?"

what does this mean

facial expression meaning when you speak

[ionic basin]

I watched a video that showed me how to setup eye tracking which I got working and the model blinking was a plus. Now when I try to make face animations like sad or googly eyes, the blinkng causes the eyes to morph.

[loud violet]

Anyone here know how to fix the rigging problem where the model animated to wrong way? Here the model is animating to the left rather than the front which it should.

The head stays in the same position, bu the rest of the body moves to the left when they avatar stops moving.

[royal reef]

the head is not moving with the body?

[loud violet]

Yes.

[royal reef]

so it just hovers

and the head is a separate mesh right

and a single mesh

[loud violet]

Hair is and cape, not the head.

body and head are the same.

[royal reef]

seems to me you need to re-weight the bones to the meshes

i.e. the head meses are not following the neck bone for example

so its just floating in free space

[loud violet]

Yes, which is... distracting.

[royal reef]

yeah its a problem with rigging

[loud violet]

And the cape moves too much, but I can just disable that.

it has a coloring scheme which matches the effect the bone has on the mesh

lessgently, i have no idea I would like to know too

[clear yew]

@loud violet are the texture boxes suppose to be empty for rainbow

[shut dragon]

does somebody here know how to make a gunshot animation? Like, the actual bullet trail coming out of the gun

[loud violet]

I have not previously used the rainbow filter, but the other shaders I have used with texture files.

How do you erase weighting?

[royal reef]

top left 'tools'

then change weight from 0-100

[loud violet]

Okay, i'll try it now with all the weighting removed.

[royal reef]

you should be coloring the head bone to the face mesh nighson

[loud violet]

True, but that arm was the only area with any weighting, that may have been causing the problem. Maybe.

[royal reef]

if the arm was the only area with weighting, then you should be seeing your whole avatar not moving except for that arm.

weightpaint

here is mine

but i have multiple meshes and bones

[clear yew]

If animations aren't showing up in unity under skin meshed render but are showing up fine in blender - what happened?

[loud violet]

Okay, I see how you change the mesh selection now. This is the head.

[royal reef]

well that looks fine

it seems you have a chin bone, forehead bone

[hardy mural]

alright another question, when this particle effect isnt in my hierarcy it looks fine.

[royal reef]

then how does your avatar configuration look?

[hardy mural]

[royal reef]

Is your neck and head bones correctly attached?

[hardy mural]

Then when i add it to wrist it looks ass

https://gyazo.com/25234f9b67e79b0143c480835edf648a

[loud violet]

I think so.

[royal reef]

Your bone hierarchy makes little sense lol.

I don't know whats what

[loud violet]

Yes, this model doesn't have useful names...

Ripped models are FUN

[royal reef]

make sure the sane name of the vertex you showed me where the head was red

is the same as the head bone and etc

you can also just rename the bones so you can understand it

[wintry adder]

Anywhere to see what all the animation gestures need exactly?

[clear yew]

@loud violet Noice. PG!

[loud violet]

Okay, so it turns out the weighting for the head and neck are in the capes armature and not head / bodies armature...

See the top two nodes on the left? That's the head and neck.

This model was rigged by an insane person.

[royal reef]

l0l

thats the problem

one way to fix this

[loud violet]

Turns out the cape armature has a copy of every node.

[royal reef]

easily is to just reweigh the armature to the mesh

copy?

if you dont have dynamic bones

then just delete all of those bones

and reparent the bonesto the avatar mesh

because you can use a cloth animator for the cape in unity

[oblique panther]

how would i disable eye blinking in unity when its done by eye tracking

by an animtion override that involves blinking

[stoic ridge]

Question is there a way I can disable eye movement through unity? Or do I have to comepletely disable it through Blender?

[rich scarab]

Heya all,

Just creating an animation through unity at the moment where im causing some shapekeys to go from 0 to 100, followed a guide, made a duplicate of the model, bound up my own override controller, applied that controller to the original, Unfortunately cant test it in game at the moment due to it being too late to hook up the vive here.

Issue is previewing it in unity shows the model stuck in the floor just like a broken model?

Is that just a unity quirk or would I probably get that in game also?

[scarlet arch]

Gonna post this here also because I'm not sure what this applies to https://gfycat.com/ParchedFailingAntlion
I'm using Dynamic bones for my Panda's hat and for some reason it's only attached on the left side of his head. The movement of all this seems so unnatually due to how the bones are laid out: https://i.imgur.com/hjTa11Z.png
Is anybody able to see the issue straight off or require any additional info?

Ok, apparantly I messed up the origin point

[slow drum]

Would anyone by any chance have the slav dance animation on hand?

[wild egret]

aye guys, after i made a aimation im getting this error, anyone know whats up here?

the animation was just pulling a sword out of the sheath on my back

also, i checked the bone mapping and everything was normal

[craggy sage]

If your adding two swords, one to each hand, using the same mesh, can you use the same trigger for it?

[wild egret]

well, i have a sheath on my back that has (just a handle) then there is a full sword for the hand.

@craggy sage , should the sheath be in my armature like the sword, or should i combine the sheath to the models mesh?

[craggy sage]

VO___OV

basically im asking how do you duel wield two swords and have each work in each hand seperatly

[wild egret]

hmm, i thought you were trying to ansew my question., xD whooooops

[ornate terrace]

Does anyone know why this happens when I try to add a gun to a models hand via fingerpoint? https://gyazo.com/40f20c3cda036b0b35ace0f656c7b256

[uneven flare]

i'm doing an animation

wish me lucky guys

lol

i will override and animation.

[vale field]

Does anyone here know how to loop animations in unity so they go for longer?

[clear yew]

such as eyes blinking?

@vale field

[vale field]

emotes, i have a flair animation, but it only does 2 cycles, and i want it to do like 6

[clear yew]

oh you just wanna set it blinking right?

wrong..

Looping <

I think you only can set few more on the animation

if you use the loop on debug it will loop forever

maybe you should wait others for help I still learning :3

[blissful wave]

So how does the different levels of 'weight' work? Do they only matter if two bones have some amount of weight on the same vertex?

Yep, that's how it works

[vale field]

Actually, does anyone have the "breakdance 2" animation file?

[undone glade]

@clear yew who needs blinking?

[clear yew]

@undone glade nah

[undone glade]

GameXMode
Does anyone here know how to loop animations in unity so they go for longer?

@undone glade I have a problem, In the game, Some animation with voice happened , my Left and Right channel in contrast and it feel like not 3D anymore

do you have any idea?

the voice such as gun fire

[undone glade]

Someone with a sound effect?

[clear yew]

yea

I mean that someone with a animation override gun

after the guy shoot . my left and right channel seems bug

my left channel runs to right

and my right channel runs to left

[undone glade]

Probably restart the game. Something like that happened to me before.

[clear yew]

it will fix the problem but i will happen if i see the guy shoot again

My headset don't have any problem .. so it's really cann't fix or just a small bug?

nvm then..

Thankyou :3

[undone glade]

Usually just a bug really.

Only happened once for me and that was it

[prime holly]

Anyone familur eenough with the Char.Controller to set up per-hand animation overrides?

[undone glade]

@prime holly I'm pretty sure it goes by hand gestures and not per hand unfortunately

[prime holly]

I found the animation controller with the left/hand tree's

gonna override them seperatly rather than using the animation voerride

that should give me per-hand contro

if it uses the avatar controller I set anyways

[undone glade]

We have that!?

insert maniacal laugh here

[languid lark]

overrride only hand one controller layout. mostly like they change or make better later in the future plans

override was just little hack they put in till they make somthing better lol

[undone glade]

All I know is more animations per hand and I need this in my life.

[undone glade]

You have just opened Pandora's box.

[languid lark]

so it work with animator controller?

[oblique panther]

is there a unity asset that makes animations easier

[languid lark]

@clear yew musicle animation editor cost $15

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/muscle-animation-editor-32233

[oblique panther]

from the looks of it its more a quality of life asset

[languid lark]

faster setup finger animation

and emote

[undone glade]

I did figure out the chainsaw a bit. Only problem is it stays in my hand and plays the chainsaw sound effect when not in use even. So might be a lot safer to use them seperately

[oblique panther]

like i wanna do the following

https://i.imgur.com/fkMZYmg.png

i want to take her mask off and put in my hand

[languid lark]

@oblique panther just put other mesh in her hands

then turn off the render off the mask on her face

then turn on the render in her hands

[oblique panther]

i do that all in unity yes?

[languid lark]

yea

mask need to be own mesh

[oblique panther]

can i seperate that one once i join them all?

[languid lark]

the one on your face just make it own fbx file

then put that back on her face in unity

you can equip items in unity

[oblique panther]

i bet its stupid easy to do

[languid lark]

you know how to equip sword

and gun right?

[undone glade]

Same with a mask

[oblique panther]

yeah

[languid lark]

just do same

[oblique panther]

im not sure how to turn the mask into its own fbx

[undone glade]

Blender

[languid lark]

when you export it select on the mask mesh only

then go export select mesh

it export only that mesh

set it like that

[prime holly]

@undone glade Don't know if it works yet, but if it does it doubles the avaialable animations

[undone glade]

Let me know :+1:

[languid lark]

@prime holly if you get it work should make a guide how to do it lol

[oblique panther]

ayyy

https://i.imgur.com/EazEY4t.png

that is so good to know

well back to decimating

[undone glade]

I just want a good chainsaw sound effect. Spending my time listening to chainsaws instead of sleep xD

[oblique panther]

thanks for the help 👌

[prime holly]

@languid lark Sure. It looks like Vrchat removes the avatar controller and replaces it if you just set that, so now trying using the custom override but with my new controller set as the template

[carmine jay]

How can I get a custom standing anim, like walking and all that. I don't want the default anim.

[prime holly]

@carmine jay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0l4-pH3vI4&t=1s

@strange kite Can we upload a custom avatar controller?

[upper sapphire]

How do I fix my weapon emote model dissapearing at certain angles?

[prime holly]

@upper sapphire At certain angles??

[carmine jay]

Thanks! Also, do you know how I can make an avatar glow? @prime holly

Or at least bright at night.

[upper sapphire]

@prime holly yes

[prime holly]

@carmine jay In the Shader for your model, add properties to the emissive value

[upper sapphire]

its a lot of angles

like its super broken with thatt

[prime holly]

@upper sapphire The gun should only vanish if A: You have another animation overriding it or B: There's a sahder changing it

[carmine jay]

What properties? @prime holly

[prime holly]

@carmine jay https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/StandardShaderMaterialParameterEmission.html

[carmine jay]

Mine is set to black. @prime holly

I used CubeShader already.

[upper sapphire]

@prime holly no over rides.

it also has that problem when i view it in unity

which makes no sense to me

[prime holly]

@carmine jay Blakc won't emit anything

@prime holly Send it over

[carmine jay]

Because when I change the color the model's color change as well. @prime holly

[prime holly]

@carmine jay Yea that's it emitting light, which looks like it's changing the model's color

[upper sapphire]

like, look at this. if I look at it iin unity here, and then zoom in like 1 more inch it dissapears

[prime holly]

Looks like a shader issue, are you sing a custom material for it?

[prime holly]

Does it happen when using the standard?

[upper sapphire]

not sure lemme check

yes

same shit happens

[carmine jay]

What about setting it to grey? Also, will the model have that same color or only at night when it glows. @prime holly

[upper sapphire]

@prime holly DUDE I FOUND THE FIX

[prime holly]

@carmine jay You can't tell when it's "At night" since the model does not have access to external lighting vairables outside of a custom shader.
