dont worry about it
mine is 4.3 degrees out
and have no issues with my avatars
its only a problem when its red
yellow is just a warning
steady plover
@fluid light if it does cause an issue though (it does for some people), just go into blender and rotate the hip bone by 180 degrees (upside down)
mortal creek
@unique night I want to put like a galaxy or stars moving on a character jacket 😄
steady plover
i think you a can get a shader to do that
peak summit
@opal lodge did you attatch it to your base in a parent
Er. Did you attatch it under a bone or something
I'm having the same issue
midnight flame
🤔
opal lodge
I forgot to attach it to the original model
I only added the sound to the copy. Was stupid af of me
midnight flame
anyone know what that means
steady plover
@unique night I cant find the bake to pose checkboxes in the animator file's inspector window
peak summit
I have the sound system in the original model
But it's not playing
@opal lodge does it need to be on the armature?
opal lodge
It can be anywhere from what I've seen in videos
peak summit
Weird because mine isn't working ; -;
Does the animation have to be as long as the audio clip?
opal lodge
No. Animation override for gestures is only 2 frames big
Is the autoplay check on?
Play on awake
peak summit
Play on awake is on
If I enable the audio source and press play it plays

hey i have made an animation to pull out an apple
how can i reuse this animation for my next one ?
like to pull out a sword
steady plover
just do what you did last time but with a sword?
plush jungle
yeah but i dont want to trag all the animators in again
sullen saddle
Is it possible to move the position of your feet during an animation? I'm trying to animate a model in the air, and everything's working to a degree that i'm happpy with, except my feet, they twist inside my body when idle during the animation
steady plover
Im busy spinning on a glowstick
sullen saddle
I assume this is tied to the players position in the world and it wants to keep the feet on the floor as much as possible, can it be overridden does anyone know?
steady plover
I dont know, but with one my dance animations, it does an animated jump, and the feet worked fine
in the air
sullen saddle
thats different to animation overrides though
you lose control of your avatar during the dance emote
peak summit
My animation override is supposed to play a soundfile and it isn't working.

So I made this animation for an emote for sora
and I went to render it to test to see if at least that much worked
and when I try to upload it, it says he now has no feet or hands specified
feet and upper arms, to be exact
Interesting... my body is gone
wow what the fuck
I saved the scene as a new version
deleted the animation
and it deleted it all for both versions
there goes about 4 hours of work

Ive done 10+ models befre

its legit just not working
torpid olive
can i somehow change it that the sitting animation doesnt move my arms?

do i create an other copy of the model ( a third one) if i want to make more then 1 animation?
or do i use the same one as the first animation?
fluid nimbus
I wanna add a hand gesture that makes a prop show up (like a gun or something), does it count towards the 20k tri limit?

dark zealot
someone know how i can make the Drawing animation?
cyan sparrow
Is there a way to make it so that when you go into the animation creator in unity the model doesn't move out of the default T position?
languid cargo
create a duplicate of your model and keep creating duplicates whenever you need the T position
cyan sparrow
Er, I mean I need the T position as the origin of the animation.
Because it would be significantly easier to work from that position than this weird curled up position it gives me when I start making anims
errant oar
You can create an empty game object and put everything after the object
that worked for me once
now doing it breaks the whole character to the point of only being able to be fixed by reloading a save
so it may or may not work, try at your own risk
I lost 4 hours of progress thanks to it though

Hi again guys
Look i have dynamic bones on my char but i want that the mesh dont get into the other
like the hand in the skirt
or the long hair into the skirt or the back
how do i do that?
clear yew
aye so when I do an override for an expression etc. model keeps blinking
way to stop that?
it's probably something simple just can't think of it
totally figured it out nvm
for anyone who doesn't know I guess-- you just add the mesh renderer for blink and keep it from happening for the loop
cyan sparrow
@errant oar I don't quite get how that would help? Sorry
hardy mural
alright boys, tell me if you see anything wrong with this, https://gyazo.com/59485a4c1a6c3d3f411719849b6ec20c
the particle system and light are off until the animation starts
In unity it works perfectly in the game scene play
but in game it does nothing
i put it on the overide emotes and put it on my character
cyan sparrow
Also how do I stop the hips resetting to 0,0,0 when you make an anim?
hardy mural
It's legit just not working
You don't
Thats why you make a dupe of your body
for animations
cyan sparrow
Yes I'm working on a dupe
hardy mural
yeah then it doesnt matter
hardy mural
not unless youre running it on an emote button
cyan sparrow
I am making custom emotes so...
errant oar
Less did you make sure to put it on the characters actual body?
cyan sparrow
I don't have VR, I want to make custom emote animations
errant oar
The main instance
hardy mural
yes it is on my characters actual body
errant oar
Is your face count too high?
hardy mural
errant oar
If the emote makes your faces go over 20k I'd imagine it just wouldn't work
hardy mural
emotes are built into the face
they dot add polys unless you removed them in decimation
errant oar
Oh so it came with the model?

I'm trying to turn up this audio trigger i have on my avatar but when I go to upload it keeps limiting it back to .5

Did you have to amp your audio up by a lot?
hardy wagon
have anyone added particlesystem to the armature that uses gravity?
hearty sapphire
I have an issue that I'm sure people have run into. I just added a weapon to my hand and assigned to an emote. It works fine when standing still. However, when moving, the alking/running animation overwrites the hand animation and the weapon disappears. How do you keep this from happening? Do you overwrite the walking animation with one that does not affect the hands and fingers?
lavish echo
If I wanted to have an avatar with a sword on a sheathe, and have the character unseathe it to hold it instead of having it teleport to their hand, is it possible to use the override for the gestures to do that? I've created an animation but it instantly teleports to the hand, skipping the animation

Umm, sorry if your video does cover it. I do understand how to make something like a weapon spawn in your hand. The question I had was that I wanted to have a sort of drawing animation, if that is even at all possible?
lavish echo
Any chance you could point me in the right direction? Don't need a complete guide. I've tried creating a drawing animation that doesn't loop and set that as a override. But in game it goes straight to the last keyframe

same
i just have it play whenever i have my awp out

I've added a weapon to my avatar but it says it's outside the bounds. Does that mean the weapon is too large?
warped pelican
is it possible to use custom walk cycles on my avatar
let alone, is it recommended?
lavish echo
Also. If I use the Unity Animator to make an emote, the avatar sinks through the ground while performing the emote. What can I do about this?
errant oar
An override can only be that many keyframes or it won't work, the complex animations use the override animation to trigger another animation placed on a hidden object that plays when it is enabled at start.
That's a method to make an animation with hand gestures longer
can someone explain to me exacly how to do this?

How do I do an emote override?
gray stump
Morgus' tutorial might be useful for that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0l4-pH3vI4
Or are there some more specifics to emotes?
dense kayak
I am watching this, but it seems a bit different from what I have
I dont have "MyCustomAnim"
gray stump
The tutorial should mention where to find it in the VRCSDK
dense kayak
It never did
@gray stump Its in a place called "Elmino" in the VRCSDK but that isnt in mine
Wait
It isn't even in the VRCSDK
???
gray stump
What timecode is this at?
dense kayak
@gray stump He starts the emote override at 13:17
gray stump
That folder appears to be his avatar itself, so the tutorial assumes you have some animations ready to slot into them already
I've never used mixamo, but I believe it has the options to bake some animations into the model?
dense kayak
Yes, but when I do, it takes the model out of the t-pose, so I cant descript it correctl;y
So I have 2 seperate models
One with the animation and one without the animation
I have the one without the animation in the scene
I cant move the dance animation out of the 2nd model though

how do i fix it?
cyan sparrow
So this animation I have translates my body forward, and this works in Unity. But when uploading to VR Chat the animation happens on the spot and no full body translations happen
gray stump
@dense kayak The animation should be in the avatar itself, or wherever you saved the animation file, should be able to slot it into the overrides of the other one.
@mortal creek Mirrors can't really handle seperate meshes, aslong as they're seperate you won't see them properly in mirrors.
gray stump
You might want to consider combining them for the sake of everyone's FPS
Also, a bit more of an #avatars-2-general issue
fluid nimbus
does anyone know how to have a gesture pull out a prop (gun) and play a sound (gunshot) without it playing on activation?
I already managed to get the gun to appear on gesture, but i dont want it to fire as soon as i take it out
gray stump
Just make it so the sound emitter activates on a different override.
cyan sparrow
Anyone know about my issue?
fluid nimbus
so like, if I had gun enable on the Handgun gesture, and sound activation on Fist gesture?
is it possible to do it on the same hand without the gun going away?
gray stump
You could call the gun override on one hand, and fire with the other hand perhaps.
I'd be careful with using the fist gesture, as you might accidentely shoot every now and then when interacting with menus.

question: can animations go over poly in any way?
like should i be saving poly room for animation stuff in future or is it not a big deal?
mystic umbra
I think one particle = one poly
and im talking about one of those orb particle you start out with
custom particles will have different poly numbers If I was to guess
has anyone here make a custom particle effect?
I have a 2D image I wan to turn into a texture file so I can make that texture file into a particle
but I can really figure out how to go about it
clear yew
cuz i've seen fancy stuff, like in a stream i saw someone with a megumin model (not the lowest poly in the world) who could spawn a world around with particles everywhere (raising light orbs), some music, animated water below, and the scene expanded on forever into the distance
cuz i have a model that's probably only gonna barely squeeze under 20k if lucky, but would love to do epic anims for it too if possible
brisk robin
Keo it's just like making a particle system in Unity. You make an animation to enable the particles and do an animation override to use the animation, this guide here can teach you all about the particles, can't really demonstrate it myself rn cause im not on my computer
i know its an hour long but.
eh, you can read about it somewhere.
brisk robin
you can just replace it as a png or jpg
mystic umbra
im a little lost but ill definantly look at that
brisk robin
You just add a material to the particle system, make sure the texture is considered GUI so that there's transparency.
going from my little to no experience in unity
mystic umbra
I think that makes sence
brisk robin
Also, does anyone know how to make animation overides serperate to each hand?
Like I want animation overrides different to my left hand than my right hand.
Or is it some kind of animation trigger..? Like a KeyEvent? But then again isnt that on an object, not an avatar?
cyan sparrow
Anyone have experience using these mixamo animations on their VR chat char?
I can get them working perfectly in Unity but they break in VR Chat
woeful rapids
Anyone know if it's possible to adjust VRC_Avatar Descriptor View Position with an animation?
Like if I make myself hover up and down. Can the View Position be changed to stay in the correct position?
cyan sparrow
@brisk robin That is literally what I did but the guy never shows the anims working in VR CHat. They work in Unity just like he shows but when you go into VR chat everything is borked.
brazen badger
@woeful rapids probably, since animations allow you to change any value, including scripts
brisk robin
@cyan sparrow I don't know what you mean by borked. . _.
Make sure that you've replaced the animation controller with a preset animation controller with all the correct animations.
cyan sparrow
I mean they don't look like they do in Unity
They're all screwed up in VR Chat
You don't move at all like you do in the unity preview of the animation
Furthermore the emotes don't seem to allow any kind of hip translocation
So emotes like dances where you move around happen on the spot
My idle and walk animations look great in Unity but in VR chat the movements do not work, my character's hands aren't moving right. The idle ends up making my character look like they need to pee because the legs/feet keep bopping up and down, etc.
None of that exists in the Unity animation.

spice meteor
they have 2 states one with the gun out and one with the gun out muzzle flash showed and gun sound activated
they switch between them
manually
cyan sparrow
Can you provide more than 1 parent to a bone, and if so, can you completely remove all degrees of freedom by overparenting?
spice meteor
yea that would
cyan sparrow
It seems that the primary issue with walk animation overrides with mixamo (and possibly in general) is whatever workflow VR chat uses to blend the animations. For emote overrides, you either have the issue of your feet pointing into the floor, or your character sinking into the floor depending on how you rig it.

Is it possible to force a emote animation to act like a gesture so I can equip a sword on a model without a vr headset or is there no way to stop the game repeating the animation over and over
pastel hill
you could equip a sword but you wont able to move your hand
vivid pond
I know but I have other animations to move it around and swing it
And the sword is very low poly so it can be imported with the model but I really don't want to keep switching models to a sword version if there was a way to make the game run the animation to equip it and not remove the sword after
But am I missing something like a way to use gesture controls on keyboard by pressing certain keys or am I just out of luck
(Though having the avatar spaz up and down so it looks like it is jumping is somewhat interesting when I bored and in a world all by myself)

out of luck, non vr must bind animations to emotes

I have a question, since I'm having an issue right now
So my avatar has a sword in one arm, a cannon in the other, and another hand emote that's supposed to make the cannon fire a 3d laser
But ever since I added the laser it seems to screw up all the other emotes
And almost all the emotes activate the laser when I don't want it to
Is it because I copied keyframes from one emote into most of the emotes or something?
(Currently uploading a test w/o the laser emote to see if it's the center of the issue, or if it might be something else)
(Although it's taking years to upload)
manic rose
i know my gintoki mmd model has facial expressions but i have no idea how to use them. sadness.

@cloud nexus check the settings on your particle and it might be how long you have the animation which could stay in your hand
Assuming a particle effect is like a sound effect you can just have it set to :00-:01
And it should play through as long as you hold that gesture

Yes

well yesterday i was playing bowl

cause my avatar is a star platinum
and she makes a emote

@tall zodiac what happens when you try to import it as fbx?
clear yew
what emote is the pointing one
verbal shuttle
clear yew
in the emote menu
tall zodiac
It freezes Unity and when i restart it is unimported
tall zodiac
It didnt before, just randomly and now all fbx files, all different versions which sucks
Only with animation though in file. which is even suckier
Since i have to import my file to blender and then to Unity which for me is like 3-4 file conversions
That sometimes breaks stuff
Like merging toghether my blendshapes so it looks like my eye is itchy when i speak lol 😆
Oh my, it seems like my c4d fbx exporter is just fucked up
Importing via blender then exporting to FBX works perfectly, time to file a bug report to Maxon and Unity i guess

Whenever I import a weapon and animate it, the weapon doesn't stay in the same position as the hand. Even though I Parented it to the wrist. Anyone know why?
weary cargo
i have the same problem but with an animation
clear yew
trying to add an animation to the avatar, seen it on video where you just add the Animation component, set the anim you're gonna use to legacy, set it to loop, and apply it to the Animation component, he pressed run and the animation played, mine won't play though
what did i do wrong?
tribal sparrow
could you link the video you're talking about baffler? I need a tutorial for animations as well
@clear yew
tribal sparrow
crap. This isn't what I was looking for. I guess the question I have is if I can have longer object animations on my Hand Gestures.. I don't want to use it as an Emote
clear yew
yea i'm trying to do the same thing, but i'm pretty sure you use the Animation component and you just enable it with an override
weary cargo
anyone know why the effect is not where i animate it?

i see now that when i change my dance animation to legacy it stops playing correctly

oh my god, im almost crying right now, i try and make a particle come from my finger, ive animated it and it sticks to the finger and everything, but when i go into the game its not on my finger, its like halfway up my body, anyone else know what to do? i beg u
ashen sedge
@weary cargo Did you parent it to your fingerbone?
knotty wasp
I'm having the exacty same problem thyrak, idk what to do
ashen sedge
And what happens when you move around? Does the particle effect move around or stay the same height?
knotty wasp
In unity it works fine, if I grab the wrist and fling it around it draws as I would expect
weary cargo
it moves around
knotty wasp
But as soon as I'm in game, if I move my hand around it doesn't move the particle effects at all, i just see the dot in place somewhere near my waist
ashen sedge
Dunno what to suggest, really
knotty wasp
if I move my character around i see the line develop, but its not linked to my pen for some reason
proud grove
If you set the particle system to Simulation Space: World it will not work correctly
knotty wasp
What do we use instead of world?
proud grove
Local
There's no way at the moment (with the current IK system) to get world space particles to work on moveable bones
weary cargo
oh my god, if this works im gonna kiss you
knotty wasp
I don't think rate over distance works if you set local?
I guess I'd have to just do rate over time to create particles in that case
proud grove
if you're making a pen
knotty wasp
yeah
proud grove
i'd try using a trail renderer instead
only downside is that it goes away when you disable it
knotty wasp
hmm, ok
proud grove
but theres no way at the moment to make a pen on an avatar using particles
knotty wasp
I dont even care about the "drawings" staying in place tbh, I just want to have a short trail that goes away after a second anyway
It's more to show the "effect" of drawing
knotty wasp
will watch thx
proud grove
and yeah if you want it to go away a trail renderer is probably your best bet
knotty wasp
ok cool

how i can set the humanoid animation?
high cape
is it possible to use mmd animations/effects for an animation in vrc?
errant oar
An override can only be that many keyframes or it won't work, the complex animations use the override animation to trigger another animation placed on a hidden object that plays when it is enabled at start.
That's a method to make an animation with hand gestures longer
can someone explain to me exacly how to do this?

@high cape yes
Animations, not sure about effects
Unity has its own effects systems like particle effects, emitters, etc.

cloud nexus
Okay
I don't know why
But whenever I do this animation with a 3d laser on it, it messes up everything
So my avatar has a sword arm and cannon am
And I'm going to make my cannon arm fire a laser
It works in-game
But for whatever reason
it messes up almost all of my assigned hand emotes
Litteraly my entire left controller just becomes that emote
Grip buttons, all hand motions
Etc
And I don't know why
Why would my hand emote ruin my left controller emotes to ONLY do that emote? (The Cannon is on the right arm btw)

I had this issue when my animation had too few or too many frames

anyone know how i can rotate this particle? the rotation tool doesnt work and it just stays horizontal. i want it to line up with my gun barrel
dusty plume
Depending ot the particle it will stay flat. you want to either set the particles spawn to be rotated and test it out in play mode, or set it to be always look at camera or something
fluid nimbus
no, i guess it's kinda hard to word this right, I want the circles lined up like this (https://youtu.be/6xxSj0la-HI?t=1m14s)
empty yew
how do you fix a bouncing mouth while moving around?
fluid nimbus
I need to animate the gun along with the particle later so I cant rotate the gun yet
i want the circles to follow the gun even when i move it around, and not always face the camera or stay horizontal forever
vertical billboard in renderer just makes it face camera forever 😦
dusty plume
, so what type of emission is your particle @fluid nimbus, is it cone shaped, spot or something else?
mortal creek
Hi guys
fluid nimbus
where can I check that? I just pulled an example magic circle asset from the store
dusty plume
Cone might be able to force the direction. But another thing is to see what rotation on spawn helps. You HAVE to similulate it though to see if it works, I beleive...
mortal creek
Anyone here knows the config for that particle system pls i need it
I made this mother
but i want the particle system to be like the goku one
dusty plume
I havent worked with particles in a while so I dont know from the top of my head where to look @fluid nimbus but you should be able to find something similar to what i am saying
fluid nimbus
still stays horizontal no matter which variable i change
torpid light
@fluid nimbus If i were trying to create that effect I'd make it using a bunch of double sided quads instead of particles
especially if you want it to spin and then move you get way more control by just animating it yourself
torpid light
I think with particles you need to change the 3d particle rotation @fluid nimbus although i've never done that myself
fluid nimbus
i'll keep messing around, if i still have trouble i'll come back in a bit
gonna attempt to make the particle from scratch instead of pulling out the premade one
premade one doesnt seem to allow Cone for some reason
torpid light
by premade one you mean 1 particle?
dusty plume
@errant oar I dont animate in unity, but could it be something to do with the reason why the buttons above are red???
dusty plume
It looks like its in IK pose though... yeah just play around, google it for now until someone here knows 😉
fluid nimbus
rip cone doesn’t work either, still can’t force it to stop facing camera
torpid light
@fluid nimbus that's why i would use quads
https://i.gyazo.com/726d19bdc4a0332f0e1939ab0161c3c6.png
they can all be stacked together in the beginning and then moved to a cone shape. Each ring being a separate quad like
unreal sparrow
when making my custom animation override, do i leave everything but the stuff i want to replace blank, or do i fill all the boxes?
torpid light
anything blank will use the default
fluid nimbus
any guide for doing something like that? I’m still pretty new so I’m not sure how to achieve that 😦
do I just make some circles in blender and import them?
torpid light
make the circles in photoshop
each of those objects is just a quad
if you want the effect to look good on both sides you need a double sided quad
so that's as easy as going into blender and adding a quad then selecting both faces and duplicating and then flipping the normals and export back to unity
that's how particles are done too. They are just floating quads that face you at all times
the transparency does all the work
fluid nimbus
after that, how do I apply the rotation in unity?
torpid light
In an animation
errant oar
That's my problem
I can't rotate anything
I'm trying to rotate the leg and the second I click on the time bar it reverts
and I'm sitting there like why
torpid light
@errant oar instead of trying to rotate the leg, try finding the animator property that controls the leg. Maybe "animator.left lower leg strech"
See how the default animations use these? https://i.gyazo.com/a5fc977fd6d3e25633d0ef03188f4850.png
errant oar
yeah...
that's exactly what I was afraid of
it worked last night
so it's like... why?
ya know?
torpid light
@fluid nimbus heres a wireframe view of that scene. Maybe it will help you understand. https://i.gyazo.com/3008cf250a512a4a0a1bcbc62e022f9a.gif
The moving stuff on the left is a particle system
torpid light
yea i think that's telling you to use what i just told you to use
So it's saying instead of using an animation that only would work for your specific avatar, use the generic animatior.knee or whatever instead so it's universal
fluid nimbus
yeah i understand, just gotta make the quads with the textures, then figure out how to get it to spin in the animator
torpid light
yea spinning in the animator is the easiest part. Getting the textures to look right is the hard part
errant oar
what if I changed to model from humanoid to generic just to make the animation
fluid nimbus
is there a proper name for Quad? gotta look up how to make this stuff in blender
torpid light
I don't think that's going to solve the problem
a plane with only two faces is a quad
a plane in unity has a bunch more faces so there's a slight difference in terminology
fluid nimbus
o
errant oar
I just don't get why it worked fine last night
torpid light
it's actually more like a plane is a bunch of quads linked together https://i.gyazo.com/991cf50236e8f83afddf7e6253b96361.png

tawny elbow
Hey, so you know those animated avatars people have that load in and do an mmd dance? I wanna know how I can do that myself. I think all I need is the mmd motion/dance, the model, and to just import both into blender and export a model fbx and an fbx with the model/animation right? And then I'd make the model in unity a generic model and use the animation override to make that my idle animation?
Sorry if I've answered my own question I just wanna be 100% sure before I go into doing that
Since I don't wanna have to pause more than I need to 😅
clear yew
there should e videos on youtube for that

I must be looking up the wrong terms 🤔
Still, if I already know most of what to do, all I need is someone to just say yes or no
I guess I'll just try it then
fluid nimbus
@torpid light i cant figure out how to make it properly in blender 😦
is there a way to just import that asset from unity into blender?
torpid light
go into blender
press a twice
press delete
shift+a
add plane
tab to go into edit mode
a to select all
shift+d(i think) to duplicate
right click to reset back to default position
space and search for flip normals
export to unity
@fluid nimbus
fluid nimbus
oh i thought i had to add the texture from inside blender
torpid light
no you can drag it from the assets folder onto the object in the scene view and it will create a material for you
or just create a new material and drag the texture into the albedo slot
fluid nimbus
so i have these 4 planes in blender now
would i be able to manipulate them seperately in unity?
torpid light
yea you can make 4(or however many rings there are) materials and assign seperate materials to each one
where each material has the texture of a seperate ring
in unity
they all share the same model
steady oriole
So I'm doing face animations and I'm kinda getting tired of adding each finger property for each new animation, but whenever I copy an animation, the duplicate doesn't affect the model I'm animation. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Never mind, I just had to drag the animator controller onto the game object
fluid nimbus
wait so I have this plane in my scene now, but when i drag a material onto it, it just goes invisible
midnight crest
@clear yew yo i could make a shader for that if youd like. just tell me exactly what you need it for

Your material might have the albedo color set to a color with 0 alpha or something @fluid nimbus

@midnight crest i want to make a rotating overlay effect for eyes

you can make them yourself too
i made a nice cute hoppou torso twist . . . i'll share it with anyone who wants once i fine tune it on my own hoppou
once you see how the animation importing works, making animations is actually super easy... you just tell it to grab a body part and to do X with it, at Y keyframe, and it'll just tween it auto
grizzled snow
How would i edit the sitting animation?
clear yew
you find it first
then you ctrl+a then copy all the keyframes
make a new animation
paste
then tweak
if i want to fix one of my avatars sitting high up above the seat or inside the seat, i'd have to add or modify a 1-frame location key to put it where it should be
midnight crest
jesus christ this gif is taking forever to upload...
grizzled snow
@clear yew what if i need to do just simple tweeks to the existing animation?
clear yew
like i said
you just find the animation in the vrc sdk assets, and then copy all the frames into a new animation
then replace the animation in a new new avatar controller (you have to add all the other ones manually, but it's there in the sample assets
clear yew
Anyone know what's going on here? This model is perfect except her leg armor does not move with her legs. Like it's not attached.
midnight crest
is that what you wanted aria?
slow tiger
so, I put a gun animation as an animation override for my avatar, but in game it just flashes constantly when i do the animation. Anyone ever had a similar problem?
torpid light
the override animation should be exactly 2 frames long
you probably have the set active property set to active on only the first frame and not the 2nd
when you do a gesture it loops that 2 frame animation forever
so if there's any difference you will see flickering
slow tiger
think i got it, thanks

Not sure why this happens. Do I need to mess with the rest of the body and tell it not to move? I don't have VR and want to have a facial expression.
The animation on the face works fine though
languid lark
@boreal rivet need to animation the whole body for emote
need to make it stand up
emote disable the IK
so you have basic make animation with full body animation
there 2 way to do use blender to make animation or get Muscle Animation Editor cost $15 asset store
fluid nimbus
http://puu.sh/yTOto/e068b8a0b4.png
if i wanted to make a gun firing animation that only plays once (i have another animation override thats just holding the gun out) would this be right? there's like a charge up before the shot, so theres more than one keyframe
@torpid light
theres so many keyframes cause each one is activating the next magic circle behind the previous one
normal skiff
@terse sonnet your problem sounds like it might be identical to mine
torpid light
Are they parented to a common parent or in a chain? @fluid nimbus
normal skiff
Although in my case I'm trying to override FIST, and it isn't playing it
torpid light
They should all share the same parent. soudns like they are in a chain so activing the first one is activating all of them
normal skiff
I haven't thought of trying to override everything to see if others work
torpid light
Also is this an emote override or a gesture override?
that's a common parent that's perfect
torpid light
gesture overrides can only be 2 frames long
normal skiff
gesture override
fluid nimbus
ah
torpid light
so what you need to do is add an animator to the object you spawn
and do all the rest of the animation there
the gesture should just spawn the gundo object and that's it
gundo should have an animator
a new one you can right click create in the asset folder
or a new controller rather
fluid nimbus
Animator Controller?
torpid light
ya
fluid nimbus
ok created it
torpid light
so the gundo needs an animator component, with the controller slot set to the new animator controller you just made
then once that's made select gundo in the hierachy and go to the animation tab and create a new clip
then do all the animation there
it will start from the begining when the object is set from not active to active
which is what you want
fluid nimbus
it doesnt loop right?
torpid light
it will by default
when you create the clip it will ask you to save it somewhere
go to where you saved in the asset folder and uncheck loop time or whatver it's called
i think it's loop time
fluid nimbus
i just want it to play the firing animation, then go back to the gesture override where i'm just holding out a gun
i hope it allows that
normal skiff
wrt gesture animations, do the two frames have to have the same parameters, and does the loop setting matter at all?
torpid light
yea it should default to what it looks like when the animation started
once it ends
you probably want two seperate gesture overrides then
terse sonnet
yeah, I can't get any of the gestures other than handopen and maybe fist to do anything
terse sonnet
and all I'm doing is editing some blend shapes
fluid nimbus
yeah the spawn is handgun and the shooting is victory
also im in the animator controller
im lost as to what to do lol
normal skiff
same, I'm only modifying blend shapes to 100
torpid light
@normal skiff yes they need to loop and yes they should be exactly the same on both frames
normal skiff
this is good to know and something to check
haughty spindle
Where will my uploaded model be in the game?
normal skiff
sadly I can't get at my files from here
I am pretty sure it does loop in my case though, and that I did put 100 into all values for both columns
torpid light
@fluid nimbus first off you want to create an empty gameobject that's parented to the gundo and parent all the circles to it
so you can just active the effect separate from the weapon
boreal rivet
How do I make an animation clip longer? I want to make a laugh last for 3 seconds, but I just wanna know how to change that.
fluid nimbus
do i just drag them all in
torpid light
there's a speed modifer on the animation file you can change
oh actualyl that's controlled in the animator controller nvm
normal skiff
To try and rule out the only theory I have about my current problem - if my character has no fingers, will that turn off all hand gestures, and in turn, turn off all my animation overrides even if they're not relevant to fingers?
torpid light
i think when you upload it will tell you if the finger tracking is turned off
i don't know
normal skiff
I think it does warn about that, in the context of full IK being disabled
torpid light
if you have invisible figner bones it will work fine so you could just add some bones with no weight painting to them in blender
full ik is for body tracking i think
you should have fingers then idk
normal skiff
I was thinking of trying to add actual fingers at some point but since the character is blocky making sensible fingers is hard
it's kind of like the finger bones will actually cause fixed cuboids to protrude out of the hand
boreal rivet
@torpid light Do I change that in the animation controller that the override controller is using?
torpid light
no you probably don't want to do that
torpid light
i thought you could change the speed in the animation file, but you would have to edit the animator which isn't exactly easy
yea
put an animator on the gameobject rather than gundo
remove the one on gundo
and here's how u start animating https://i.gyazo.com/fac7dfe4e669a9c857e086481edc997e.gif
torpid light
@boreal rivet you can open the animation in the animation tab and change the samples number
that should change the speed
fluid nimbus
when im done creating the animation, do i just drag the controller to the gesture i want to override?
torpid light
no the controller is only used on the empty game object
you want to drag a separate clip similar to the one that spawns your weapon
but instead it spawns the empty game object
the animator will play on awake which means it starts when it spawns
fluid nimbus
o
terse sonnet
I have a question, how do you get the default animations for female characters?
The default ones in examples are for male characters
fluid nimbus
http://puu.sh/yTPFC/779e19fdff.png
it says all my fingers etc are missing
trim dagger
do you not have female selected
torpid light
is that the clip for spawning the object or for animating the effect @fluid nimbus ?
fluid nimbus
animating effect
torpid light
you don't need finger properties on that
terse sonnet
If you don't override based on something else, the pose won't be quite right for that gesture
torpid light
just move the game objects with animation record on
The finger stuff is for the clip that spawns the object
they should probably match the finger positions for the one that spawns the weapon
fluid nimbus
wont that cause all my fingers to snap back to the default open palm?
torpid light
i'm not sure though
no because the effect animation isn't being used in a gesture override
so it has no effect on the fingers
fluid nimbus
oh so in the controller i dont even need to add the property to activate the gun?
terse sonnet
actually, I think every file has the same pose in that examples directory
torpid light
Yea in the empty game object controller all you do is rotate and move the objects like how you want the effect to look
terse sonnet
so if you're overriding you don't get the right gesture animation, even if you just want to edit the facial expressions
fluid nimbus
ive watched your video before lol, dont think it goes into animator controllers
normal skiff
the duplicating thing is because playing animations on the main avatar model causes it to get stuck in that position which the SDK can't deal with
torpid light
the reason you animate a duplicate is because if you don't your character will go out of a tpose sometimes and that's annoying to deal with
yea basically
