For some reason whenever I try and load in a whole song in an animation the song sounds like its breaking and distorted. Yet a sound clip works fine. Anyone know why?

@languid lark that marker contained a lot of polys :S
languid lark
@ivory lodge dont need use the marker
use any other object
snail said in the video
sonic tiger
@fervent elm Do you see the "Add Property" option on the left of the animation window?
ivory lodge
@languid lark how do i do
fervent elm
yes i see it
sonic tiger
Click it
then choose your particle effect
Those keyframes will allow you to control the particle effect from the animation
fervent elm
oooh ok i got it
sonic tiger
👍 😃

Thanks a ton

Hey guys, I made a custom animation for my avatar in Blender, exported it into Unity as part of an .fbx model, replaced a default emote with it and verified it works in-game. I duplicated the animation and added sounds to it in Unity, and mapped it to another emote, however when I try playing it ingame, my character just sinks into the ground and performs some kind of paddling pose. I still have the soundless animation mapped to another emote and it's working fine, anyone have any ideas what might be up?
ivory lodge
@languid lark have you tried the snail marker lately? for me it doesn't work corectly
@languid lark it draws all the time and the eraser doesn't work
ivory lodge
that's not what he said in the video?
languid lark
he use rift
ivory lodge
do I need to have mesh renderer active?
ivory lodge
but you have erase on rock?
ALSO is it possible to like combine the fingerpoint anim with the draw anim
languid lark
undone glade
@polar iris check your animation for anything that says position. If you moved your avatar during it may have been recorded.
ivory lodge
oh
ivory lodge
I did watch the video you linked, he didnt say dat :S

1 frame animation stuck in a rapid loop this should be an easy fix right? Anyone know how?
toxic solar
Aye, anyone here know how to make an edittable copy of the existing hand gestures? Or at least their values. I'd basically like them to stay the same, but add my own property to them instead of having to re-animate every finger and joint and such.
tranquil current
how much work would it take for a model to pullout an axe or etc
toxic solar
Not much work at all. Unless you mean a whole baked in "Withdrawing it from it's sheath and holding it" then sure, but if you just want it to appear in your hand, that's easy.
sonic tiger
@brazen badger make sure both the frames of your one frame animation are exact copies
brazen badger
Yeah, pretty sure they are
sonic tiger
thats my best guess :/
brazen badger
or am I checking it incorrectly?
sonic tiger
click the little top diamond > crtl-c > click the second frame top diamond > ctrl-v
press play and see if it flickers
brazen badger
it doesn't flicker when I pres splay
but ingame it does
when triggering one of them
Is there any way to add multiple of these at once? https://i.imgur.com/wzCNnRp.png
Clicking each of them individually is genuinely one of the most tedious things i've ever done
Well I'm stumped, don't know what's causing it, hopefully it's just the servers not uploading my new thing or something idk /shrug
sweet zealot
just to clarify, for an item equip from a hand pose, i have to add every single finger on that one hand? Even if the hand pose is alright?
also what is the official name of the "spiderman" handpose?
brazen badger
ROCKNROLL you mean?
sweet zealot
yeah, guess thats the name.
that answers my second question. Thanks!
but seriously if i want to keep the hand pose but just have an item appear, do i have to do every finger?
brazen badger
If you're asking me specificly and that thanks was sarcastic I don't know mate, that's why I'm here myself getting help
serene lava
@languid lark Hey I converted that model as well
Does anyone know how to use a custom animation controller in vrchat
sweet zealot
that was a real thanks, i genuinly didnt know its name and you gave me the name.
brazen badger
ah right just the "but seriously" threw me off mate my apologies, im frustrated after trying to fix stuff and load into the game, i'd try and help you with your issue by doing some testing but it's like impossible to test right now given the servers performance
sweet zealot
ack yeah! it took me 3 hours to get online just to test an elbow bending. took 30 seconds for me to see what i needed to adjust, it was awful for a 3 hour wait.

why is it when I override an animation for a facial gesture, my fingers awkwardly and slowly move even though I didn't touch them

Excuse me, what's the override for sidewalk animation?

Is there a way to get the key-frame animator values for the default VRChat hand gestures? ie. Open Hand, Rock&Roll etc
quartz summit
Hello I've got a quick question whenever someone has time. Fairly new to this but I made some anmation overrides for my avatar where the head moves. In-game though the head is stationary and continues to follow the camera during emotes. Not sure how to prevent this. Thank you for your time
I've seen it done so I know its possible I just don't know how
sweet zealot
animations dont show up on mirrors so if you were checking it on a mirror you wont see it
normal skiff
that is still a mystery to me
because my cat ears are an animation and they do appear in a mirror
I assume the difference is that they're done using blend shapes
so...if I built a prop into the model itself using a blend shape...that would appear?
sweet zealot
perhaps?
clear yew
what doesn't show up on mirror is stuff you activate like swords, and effecrs
but blendshapes are shown
and movements
quartz summit
Right I asked as well and everyone says theres no movement in the head.
But it animates fine in unity (probably one of the most commonly uttered phrases around)
It's true tho
sweet zealot
the head movement might just be locked to follow the camera, perhaps have 2 rigged heads in same position, 1 for the normal movement, and the second to switch to when you want the animations?
quartz summit
And just hide the other one during animations? I could try that
Not on VR yet so I've had to override the existing emotes
sweet zealot
ohhhh wait how are you doing animations then? the animation menu?
quartz summit
Yes, sorry for not prefacing with that.
Emote overrides with animations I key myself
In unity's "super good" animator
sacred wharf
Yo
So I heard from this one dude that some russian site had the dynamic bones thing for free
Is this true?
normal skiff
sounds like piracy to me
sweet zealot
wut? o_O since when do you need to buy a bones function?
sacred wharf
The dynamic bones for unity
wintry matrix
yeah but it has to be whitelisted and cleared by vrchat for use in vrchat.. so it can't be an alternative or different script
sweet zealot
......strange..... mine has them already..... and i got the whole unity from the unity webstie.
oh! whitelisted, yeah
makes sense
wintry matrix
[not that its not possible for someone to code/release one, its a common techique you see in 3d software, harmonic transforms and such]
that being said no one is going to code one if theres a good one already widely used for $20.
sacred wharf
unless they wanted to be a competitor
wintry matrix
well yeah.. someone could release another one for $9 and then the original author price matches.
sweet zealot
quick question - what sound file is compatible to put in the animations for vrchat? ogg? wav? mp3?
radiant raptor
Is there a way to make an animation stay? For instance I have a sword in my hand and on my back. I want to "swap" between them. I have an animation for both the sword on hand and shield to fade away just need to know how to make it stay until I swap back. If that makes sense?
unique night
@sweet zealot ogg
sweet zealot
thanks
sacred wharf
Doesnt anything work as long as it is through unity?
sweet zealot
@radiant raptor if you are using keyboard set the animation for over a minute, if you are using VR just do it by hand pose
radiant raptor
I am using VR thank you. This is on Unity correct?
long knoll
ANyone have a good guide i could follow for animation from the hands? Like when people make a gun that shoots, or make money appear, or even a camera
sweet zealot
you mean to equip an item?
long knoll
Yeah i guess. When they have like a sword on their back, and make it appear in their hands etc
sweet zealot
am i allowed to post a video tutorial link in here?
radiant raptor
hmm I can't hide the weapon through inspector....
serene lava
I would think so
terse sphinx
Emission of shader should be set below which number to avoid performance hit for other players?
sweet zealot
(im afraid that one i do not know)
frosty oyster
does a gun that i put on my character thru an animation have to be a rig or a model?
long knoll
Thanks!
sweet zealot
the item being equipped can be a model, just make sure its attached to the hand bone
if the item intends to move, it has to have its own bone set rigging, again being parented to the hand bone
sacred wharf
Sorry, how do you add animations like changing colors to your avatar?
sweet zealot
at the moment, i can only think of having duplicated bodies of different colors and having them swap by hand gestures. unless you wanted the rainbow effect - in which case i havent gotten that far yet and dont know how
hollow sorrel
How come my animations aren't separated by hand? In the animator, it only says right hand. But in game it doesnt matter which hand i use
sweet zealot
i wish it could be by seperate hands too. T_T i wanted only one hand per wolverine claws but nope, only both
frosty oyster
does anyone know why my chracter glitches out when i use an animation to get a pistol
radiant raptor
what is the rocknroll gesture? Just the index and pinky finger or is the thumb included?
sweet zealot
its the middle two fingers bent inward and the others spread out. like "spiderman hand"

I know there is that free cat but IDK if I can import to the animation from it
molten elm
Can anybody help me real quick..?
The animation overrides aren't playing the facial animations, and whenever I use the gestures I reassigned, my fingers just move about slowly without doing anything.
ashen sedge
@molten elm You probably have the animation length to 1 sec instead of 0.1 sec
molten elm
I'll double check
ashen sedge
Also both keyframes should be identical for gesture overrides
molten elm
Yeah, 2 keyframes, same ones
ashen sedge
First keyframe should be on frame zero, and the second one on frame one
fierce copper
so i was watching this tut and they said it had to be done differently if it was for emote override in the video, and that theyd make a vid on it later but that one isnt out yet
im currently at the point where im making the animation clip and the character like, goes down
how am i supposed to do it differently if its for emote override? (lets say for the cheer emote)
molten elm
languid lark
@fierce copper you would have stand up the avatar best way to do use blender or muscle animation editor that cost $15
molten elm
And I don't have to do anything else but add it to the override, and apply it to the descriptor, yes?
fierce copper
@languid lark sorry what do you mean?
languid lark
emote full body animation
basic have edit all moveent of the body
when it go in mucle mode you have go in animation editor move leg
arm etc
simple cheer for emote alot more work
this asset will make it easier to do in unity with set different value
for mucle
languid lark

watch video on animation
or you can take apart vmd or use mixamo animation

eh thank you for the effort but thats not the kind of animation im trying to make, and it doesnt help with what im trying to do ;P
fierce copper
I'm trying to override an emote so when i use it it pulls a certain object
languid lark
you have to do full body animation
for that
it not like gensture
emote disable the IK for 10 sec
reason your character be stuck in that muscle pose
all that info i post correct info for emote
most anyone who know how to animation tell you same for emote
sweet zealot
is it possible to do a custom animation and a sound effect at the same time for the same hand gesture? Cause i notice the override slot only works for 1. Unless i should apply the sound override to the animation override?
im trying to make wolverine claws by rocknroll gesture, and i want the ogg sound file i have to activate on that same gesture too
languid lark
@sweet zealot just make game obj
with audio source
then add that to your animation
you make animation turn back on the game obj
sweet zealot
i figured it out, i needed to put the audio in the heirerchy of the animation obj itself. oops.

hello! I haven't touched animation at all before. is there any way using the animation window in unity that I can use override a hand gesture (rock and roll probably?) to toggle on and off this gasmask for this model? As you can see the value 0 for the shape key has the gasmask on and value 1 takes it off
i did lip syncing for the model so i dont want it to go to waste by having a gas mask on all the time
frosty oyster
what is the rock n roll gesture im going try using that to see if the gun will work

@frosty oyster rock n roll only works if u have a vr headset

eh theres plenty of tuts for hand gestures in #tutorials
idk i havent tried them myselrf

@frosty oyster if you look up i post info full animation

cant just be the finger and arms
it has to be whole model

only be 10 sec

Ok that's my issue right now, i've downloaded a model from mixamo, it has an anim ccalled walking that does nothing in the preview and has those options
and the other anim is mixamo.com and has the walking animation in preview but not those options

How do I get the mixamo animation fbx to an actual anim file
glacial pike
That is what worked for me atleast on the x many animations I used, though there are two types of files you can get. (look picture) the one file is a .anim, change the options as said above and it should work, the other one is a .fbx file, you need to change the rig of that to humanoid and then open up the file (little arrow) select the animation inside and select the options as shown in the first picture I sended :)

uhhhhhhhhhh

I don't know, never seen an option for the anim file alone sadly enough

I've tried the two animations and they do the same thing
that's honestly the only thing i can't understand right now, it's so frustrating

whyyyy is this so hard
When ever i try to play the animation the model goes halfway into the ground
glacial pike
Depends
muted prairie
ah ?
glacial pike
Custom animations (once you create yourself) don't have those options it seems, I run into the same trouble with what I'm trying to work on now
I'm trying to rotate a part of the character, fire a laser and go back to normale state, but the laser doesn't show up and I fall halfway through the floor every time I try as well
foggy vector
im going to screammm
muted prairie
and i thought my problem was difficult lol
i'll mess with the other options of the anim and then i'll kill myself probably

sadly there seem to be very little tutorials or information about that exact problem, so most of us are stuck and the people that do know are either busy, asleep, have to many people they are helping, or can't be bothered to answer

You make sure the animation is mapped as a humanoid rig, then ctrl d on the animation clip, the play button thingy, and add a CustomOverride from Animation folder in VRCSDK to your same folder, preferably rename it and make a copy. Then add that animation inside the CustomOverride, then replace your Standing Anims with your own CustomOverride
Should be a video on youtube explaining better

@trim nimbus where did you put the override? did it go in the vrc descriptor or did you put it in the animation controller on the model?
trim nimbus
I put in in the avatar descriptor as standing animation override
unique night
and its triggered by which emote?
trim nimbus
I have set it to emote2 atm
unique night
that could be why
try placing it in close fist and test that
emote1, emote2 etc are for menu emotes
and can be 10 seconds long
clear yew
and will the game graphics stay as they are right now? or will they improve them?
trim nimbus
yes but I dont have VR headset so I'm kind of limited to menu emotes 😦
unique night
probably best they stayed as they are
regal hollow
agreed
unique night
@clear yew yeah
clear yew
i dont have vr >_<
clear yew
so why not have the option to tweak the settings xd
unique night
it has to be as equal as possible since its a social game afterall
@trim nimbus make the emote longer then
with the slot you put it into, you can have a longer emote animation
that 2 frame animation will be over in a blink
trim nimbus
ok I will try that
unique night
but, your model will also move into ground
so you need to reposition back to base pose manually
add the property: animator.root T
and after you're done, click the animation file for the emote and click all the checkboxes that say "bake to pose"
in the inspector

hey, would anyone know how to fix the problem that with the clapping emote, the hands clip through each other?

Replace with custom clapping anim
the original was made for humanoids with proportions that are... well, 100% humanoid
oversized hands/not properly scaled hands will always clip unless you do a custom anim

How are people able to make thier models have the rainbow effect? is it a different shader from the ones that come with the models?
regal hollow
There is a rainbow shader in cubed paradoxes shaders
tropic steppe
is that in blender or unity?

i c, do you just apply to the materials like you would usually do or is it something along the lines of animation?
regal hollow
in the material at the top of the details you can choose shader

anyone know if there is a tutorial for adding a smartphone that can take pictures and stuff?
regal hollow
i can tell you how i did it
not sure if there is a tutorial out tho
i just had to experiment
weary cargo
you did it ?
regal hollow
aye
weary cargo
how did u do it ? 😮
i do know like, add a camera, put it on the phone, then add a render texture to the screen of the phone
regal hollow
thats it my man
weary cargo
i dont know the rest tho
weary cargo
but people can take like a photo, make the picture still for a moment to show the picture and stuff
u know on the phone
regal hollow
aye
weary cargo
so they take a photo, then the camera feed stops
regal hollow
both the same except one has the camera disabled
regal hollow
when the camera is disabled the render texture shows the last thing it saw
regal hollow
but im pretty sure thats not possible right now
weary cargo
that would require shitton of scripting im sure
regal hollow
aye
weary cargo
yeh
regal hollow
but its not worth their time to work on that right now

btw this photo thing recuires two animations right? one for the pre photo, and one for the "frozen" picture right?, do u create one duplicate of your model for each animation?
north patrol
I don't want to mess the whole thing up so I'm not touching anything
regal hollow
@weary cargo ye two animations. and you can use the same model
north patrol
@regal hollow does it works correctly with your method ? I just don't want the dead fish stare

are you sure the original model has the phone

Im not sure but i think change the emotes (wave, dying and ect) to something else
No idea how that would work but its the only way i can think of doing it
echo gull
@kindred blade try this video starting at 13:17 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0l4-pH3vI4&t=15s
glacial pike
mixamo.com has some nice free stuff, it requires a bit of reading (or watching tutorial video) on how to import that into the game
kindred blade
im not sure if that does what I need though
i dont really want any additional fancy stuff I just want to make sure my model isnt a t pose sliding on the floor

Now im not in the air anymore when doing the animation but now im glighty as hell when i am not looking at a mirror
When i look at a mirror its fine 😂

basically i want to resolve that second error
echo gull
did you set the animation type to humanoid ?

Are sounds added in the same way other animations are?
plush meadow
One question, how do you make a muzzle flash and add an accompanying gunshot? Also, how would you trigger the sound?
solar wing
is there a way to download just the animations from mixamo? without having to upload a char, etc
torpid light
Activate an empty game object with your effect on it @plush meadow . So maybe a particle effect or something on the empty game object
so in your gesture you should both active the gun and the empty game object
plush meadow
But how would you trigger the gunshot though?
torpid light
Use a 2nd gesture actually
plush meadow
Would it have to be some sort of gesture?
torpid light
yea on your other hand
so maybe use rock and roll for the gun and finger point for the shot
rock and roll will activate the gun while finger point will activate the effect
toxic solar
Anyone have previously working animations make their model explode? My simple, previously working knife holding animation now makes my character's model explode across the map and I have no idea why.
torpid light
and if the gun isn't active, you won't see the effect being active because the empty game object with the effect will be parented to the gun
plush meadow
Makes sense I guess. One more question, how does one trigger the rock and roll gesture?
I'm making the model for someone who has vr, unlike myself.
torpid light
on oculus? it's done by pulling the trigger with your thumb on the stick or buttons
i don't know for vive
toxic solar
Vive it's touchpad down
plush meadow
Thanks.
toxic solar
Roll finger aroudn the touchpad, he'll figure it out
torpid light
i find that some of the gestures are easy to accidentally press on oculus, so you may want to ask if they have oculus or vive and find out what gestures they want it on
pastel hill
ok,so my avatar's eye tracking didn't work ,but it works in Unity and Blender and it also have "vrc.blink" shape

are finger bones required in order to trigger gesture overrides? for example, my avatar has only a single hand bone (no fingers or thumbs). Would i still be able to make a thumbs up in real life and have it recognised in the game to trigger an animation?

just download the animation without a model/skin
then put the downloaded animation into your character's assets, make sure the animation is rigged as humanoid, and go to the animations tab and make sure these boxes are checked
@junior epoch
Then your animation will appear here
I reccommend changing the name from mixamo.com to whatever the animation is though
Or you'll get them mixed up if you have multiple

Like I'm just trying to activate a hidden mesh on animation and if I put the mesh were it should be without moving the avatar my avatar sinks into the ground and if I move it to the ground on my character then it just flys upward from the ground on animation
never just sticks to my freaking hand rip

This animation plays when I do the finger gun emote, the knife appears in my hand when I do the finger point and then the blade extends when I do a fist (using an occulus btw)

that tutorial is great for the basics, it just doesn't help at all when you try to make somewhat more advanced animations. Can't even find out why it still puts me under ground on custom created animations :/
glacial pike
tthat is the point, I already am on the ground :/
cyan sparrow
Are you making this animation in unity?
glacial pike
yes
cyan sparrow
By default it puts you at 0,0
I'm pretty sure you don't have your feet on the ground if you've not used Root T to shift yourself up.
That is what I had to do in my animation
glacial pike
there is no possibility to add a root-t though if I create an animation from a gameobject and then add that game object into my armature after the animation file was created (this also solves your character from breaking when you create an animation)

Is the Dance emote just one of the standard emotes in the override list, like EMOTE1 through 8?

I assumed Idle was for standing, since I'd already replaced it and noted that was the case in game

that's because you have two different slots on the descriptor
you make two copies of the override controller, one can be standing the other sitting
apply custom anims as you like to each one, then just use those controllers on the avatar descriptor

When using emotes my model just locks in place and doesn't move. Any fix?

Question as a VR player: Would slotting in an animation to one of the "Emote" sections be able to be cancled with hand gestures/moving? As of now, using an animation as a VR player, control is kinda taken away from you unless you move, so I don't want to make something dramatic if it can't be easily cancellable.

Sorry for piling on questions but does anyone know why an animation using hand gestures in vr would linger and the audio would loop? really hurting my head with this

Does this look okay in terms of positioning?

looks pretty good
dont animate the model you're importing into vrchat, animate a duplicate and apply that created animation to the override on the descriptor
make sure you delete the duplicate after you make the animation
but seriously guys why do my animations linger, the audio repeats and its really annoying, once its activated it wont stop
until the hand resets that is

So when wanting to add a magic effect on a model, do you want to use an actual model or an effect in unity?
hollow sorrel
the volume is already pretty loud. It works fine in Unity, but ingame it's barely audible

@hollow sorrel it got lowered by the client

So i have to put the original file to extreme volume orrr

@clear yew Import into blender, delete all the bones/rigid bodies/joints an leave only the mesh. Re-export as an FBX, upload to mixamo an done

@steep citrus Thanks I'll try that
plush meadow
This look fine?
clear yew
But wait if I do that then won't all the visames, dynamic bones, and colliders be removed? @steep citrus
steep citrus
@clear yew yep it gets your model into VRchat with working hands an such an thats about it lol. its a quick process though. Mixamo in genral isnt going to provide you those things anyways
mixamo is the most basic skeleton possible
clear yew
Oh in a way that saddens me since there are lots of fun animations in mixamo Oh well
Thx anyways
steep citrus
you can still use the animations
clear yew
Oh I can?
steep citrus
yeah just download them an look up the emote tutorial I think thats how you do it. Ive never done it yet

@clear yew I’ve made a middle finger animation and it overrides my rockstar gesture
You have to manual pose the fingers in the animations tab
clear yew
Alright I'll try that thanks a bunch

My emote loop like 20 times and loop is not checked in the settings?

Lucy i just made it thanks anyway though

is there anything special I have to do to get the automatic blink and eye tracking to work? I made shapekeys (blinking, etc are first in the list) and assigned them in unity (mouth movement works), have a Body mesh, eye bones named correctly, etc.
When I load the avatar in vrchat it does not appear to blink or move the eyes (looking in a mirror)

hey so my friend is trying to put facial expresions into the emote area
pure ledge
If I want to move my character in an emote do I need to adjust the T root or can I just use the position arrows in the animation tab?

Hello guys. I added sound sources and added them to my animations. I got them working in game. The problem I'm having is that the volume of the animations seem really soft
This is what I currently have for the settings. Was wonderinf if anyone had any insight on why the my sounds are really soft in game
sinful rover
Might help to increse gain

Hi guys, I've been trying to do facial animations for my avatar but whenever I bring her into vrchat to perform the animation she'll dip halfway into the ground and sort of spasm between that condition and idle stand. This seems to happen on any avatars I do this on. Anyone got any advice what I should check?
Been checking past most of the youtube tutorials but I don't think I've missed any steps pertaining to animation overrides
