animation

[clear yew]

and a gesture with the bounce animation

[sacred gate]

then on the ball you'd set a loop animation where it goes up and down

[undone glade]

Yep

[sacred gate]

if you want to be able to bring the ball out without it bouncing

you can add a separate gesture to start the bouncing animatoin

so one hand brings out the ball

and the other hand controls the bouncing

[undone glade]

Or your case another gesture

[sacred gate]

you have to be creative with the vrchat engine to achieve simple things :p

[clear yew]

i mean

it works

the only problem is it endlessly loops

[sacred gate]

yeah it'll only reset when you change avatar

or log out/in

what is the animation you're trying to make?

[undone glade]

I have a ninja sword/sheath. Fist holds the sword in the sheath and rock and roll pulls the sword out making them seperate in both left and right

[clear yew]

like throwing a ball

[undone glade]

Sort of an Iaijutsu thing.

[sacred gate]

so make your ball with an empty component underneath it

[clear yew]

@sacred gate and there is no way around the resettting without relogging/avatar change?

[sacred gate]

exactly

i had the same issue

[clear yew]

that is dissapointing

[sacred gate]

i was trying to make an energy ball rise and throw at someone with an explosion

but because i was using gestures it just doesn't work

limitation of the engine

[clear yew]

def not a limitation

[sacred gate]

you can achieve the result you want, you just have to do it in a different way

[undone glade]

Well we have one guy that can do the Kamehameha and Spirit Bomb

[clear yew]

doing something when something is not pressed is just not working properly i suppose

[sacred gate]

i can do those @undone glade :p

[undone glade]

You might be them then xD

[sacred gate]

can't wait for scripting

[clear yew]

are you able to apply exact position to particles depending on how long its on for?

[sacred gate]

how do you mean?

[undone glade]

If only somebody was dedicated enough to add Wolf Fang Fist to their avatar xD

[clear yew]

like X position of X particle at X second

[sacred gate]

no

but you can get around it

[clear yew]

reeeeee

what do you mean get around it

[sacred gate]

it depends what effect you're trying to create

with particle systems you can only control the emitter

directly

but if you need a single particle you can just make a new particle system which only makes 1 particle and you can define that particle's velocity

[clear yew]

would need controll of full position tho

basicly just the animation hidden in a particle

[sacred gate]

particles don't work like that

because they have physics applied to them directly

you can only control them via certain variables

[clear yew]

feelsbad

[sacred gate]

like gravity, velocity, velocity over time, etc

you'd need to fiddle with all of those until the particle takes the path you want it to

[echo gull]

Is there a good video tutorial on how to create your own dance or wave emotes from scratch? (Not tge ones for a vr headset use )

[unique night]

you want to look up tutorials for unity animation in general

to get the hang of how unity animation timeline works

[boreal magnet]

@echo gull If you're looking for a quick fix you can download the animations from CMU in the pinned messages and open them in blender then take them into unity. I've converted a few and they work good enough

[echo gull]

Hmm ok gonna check that out.
Thanks

@boreal magnet bears i doubt that they have what i want ^^ but i'll look at that too. Thanks

[boreal magnet]

@echo gull No worries, the animations might take a little tweaking so be aware of that

[unique night]

there are animation override tutorials that are just as good to get a grasp on things though

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0txtOuZtx0

[echo gull]

I want an animation where my character pulls out a doll and a knife and stab it .... so i doubt that something like that exist already ^^

[unique night]

thats a mixture of different tutorials

[boreal magnet]

Ya that's a custom thing

[unique night]

look up weapon tutorials

and how they bring an objects that werent visible before

and then apply that knowledge with a standard emote animation

to break that idea down. Place Doll under the hand you want holding it. Turn it off. then with animation timeline on a cloned avatar, make that object turn on

same with the knife

and then animate the hands

to make the stabbing and holding animation

[echo gull]

I kinda already know how to make a hidden item appear in the animation ... the animating is the part i don't know

[unique night]

the animation timeline uses the animator properties

when you click on add property

(many often confuse it for the armature category which wont work)

so add the ones you need

and adjust the values to make the movements you want

it cant be longer than 10 seconds though

but to get started, watch the animation override tutorials

[echo gull]

10 secs should be enough =P

[unique night]

poor doll

T_T

[echo gull]

Poor knuckles

[unique night]

oh

good knife

[echo gull]

I mean yeah

[sage folio]

does anyone here know about the animation override with attachments?

[echo gull]

Well i'm gonna check out some vids then =) thanks for the dirrection pointing

[unique night]

👍

[pliant breach]

so uh quick question with the animation overrides can you override the emotes like backflip and dance and such?

[boreal magnet]

Yes

[unique night]

you can override all animations including running, idle, sitting, crouching, hand gestures and all emotes that you activate in a menu

[pliant breach]

thanks guys

[unique night]

@sage folio you mean weapons?

[sage folio]

yeah

[unique night]

theres some good tutorials available for that

on youtube

[sage folio]

I have a knife and its not showing the knife during the animation

[unique night]

make sure the knife is turned off by default

and then have it turn on during the animation

with the active object property

[sage folio]

active object property?

[unique night]

yeah, in the animation timeline

click add property

then go into armature and find the weapon

click the expand options for the knife

and add the "is active object"

property to timeline

if its for a gesture, place it at 0.0 and 0.1

if its an emote, have it just at 0.0

cant edit my messages at work but i meant 0.00 and 0.01 (which is frame 0 and frame 1)

[unique night]

yeah that looks right 😃

[sage folio]

yeah thats what I have

it does the animation in game but knife doesnt appear

[unique night]

gonna be afk for a short time, if no one else helps you I'll help out as soon as i get back

(about 15 mins)

[cyan sparrow]

@sage folio It shows the knife active on first frame. I've not done gestures (No VR) but doesn't it need to be turned on on the 2nd frame?

Move the red line to the 2nd frame and turn it on there, I think the first frame needs to be off?

[fast bloom]

both start and end frames should be duplicates if you just want a one frame hand gesture

[cyan sparrow]

Ah

[knotty zinc]

Anyone know how I can disable the blinking animation when I use animation overrides to usually wink or use other shape keys for my eyes?

[unique night]

are you able to disable it via animation properties? is it listed under skinnedmeshrenderer?

haven't tried it myself, just throwing out ideas

[fast bloom]

have you got a custom blinking animation?

[knotty zinc]

Yea

[fast bloom]

I think you can just disable the animator responsible for that during your override

[knotty zinc]

how do I do that?

If u don't mind me asking

@unique night I never used skinnedmeshrenderer

[fast bloom]

sorry, I should have said disable the animation object, not the animator. add it to your overrides as an animation property

https://youtu.be/yfVmfGOOkOw?t=4m15s this part of this particular video shows an example

[knotty zinc]

oh tyvm, you're a life savor @fast bloom ❤

[fast bloom]

no worries, hope that's what you meant

if I just want to add faces to the existing gestures there are no shortcuts to coming up with my own pointing, peace sign etc animator numbers are there?

[knotty zinc]

what you mean? Like default faces that would appear without having to move your fingers?

[jade rain]

@clear yew with the gun shot sound did u import it via top left assets?

and then drag it

[clear yew]

i just drag

[jade rain]

Before u uploaded the character, logically i assume the guy u hide to avoid going over poly count

but did u unhide the audiosource?

[novel violet]

um i just made a particle effect how do i apply it so it works ingame?

[queen oriole]

someone know a site where i can download custom animations like all the dances or how i make them myself?

[novel violet]

mixamo

[clear yew]

@jade rain hide

[jade rain]

cause i hide the audio source, and i was thinking when u activate the weapon wouldnt the audio source still be hidden?

@clear yew also when i go to press it, it doesnt make the actual SFX just some wierd static

[clear yew]

dunno

i just followed the video

step by step

and it worked

[regal willow]

Is lip syncing considered part of this channel or should I ask a question about that elsewhere?

[jade rain]

is your sound effect longer or about the same tiem as the keyframe

https://gyazo.com/4e116e456646214081353dc9eab062a3

https://gyazo.com/796131f69b628f64c93b46498c05b39d

did u put your audio source before the mesh and all that

[fast bloom]

are you trying to do a gunshot with a sound?

your keyframes should still be at 0 and 0:01 if all they're doing is checking Enabled on an audiosource

[steady plover]

is there a way to get a copy of the walking animation?

[fast bloom]

doesn't need to be as long as the sound, but it will stop if you let go of the trigger this way

[clear yew]

Is there a tutorial for 3D model lip sync?

[steady plover]

I just want to edit a version of it for one of my avatars

@clear yew a little old but still works fine https://docs.google.com/document/d/1W5KFa_aszCMrJaFD8mb9a-GHYO4X4S9M63GjM4UwuEw/pub

[fast bloom]

male or female avatar?

[steady plover]

female

[fast bloom]

not sure then sorry, but you could try editing one from mixamo

[steady plover]

ok, I will try that then

thanks

[clear yew]

thanks @steady plover

[steady plover]

no problem

[clear yew]

@fast bloom hai

[small violet]

hi if have tryed to ad magic in the form of lightning but when i want to upload it tel me this does anybody have a idea on what to do?

[keen plank]

Ay whats the peace sign gesture called in the custom overrides

[small violet]

victory

[keen plank]

Thanks

[woeful rapids]

@small violet You can just do lightning effects with particles noise and sub emitters

[small violet]

@woeful rapids eeh i have know idea what you mean i am still quit new to this you mean with the partical system?

[woeful rapids]

yes

[slim jewel]

anyone have an idea why my animation setting reset when i press Play? i fixed my Idle animation to close the mouth but it keeps reseting

[woeful rapids]

just adjust the jaw in character's rigging

[small violet]

@woeful rapids would you mind if i added you a friend to ask you to help me with it at a other time?

[woeful rapids]

I guess u can

[undone glade]

@slim jewel are you talking about the play button at the top of the window?

[slim jewel]

yes

[sour hedge]

anyone got trails to work on a weapon/... on a character? I got the following issue:

https://i.imgur.com/fqjTSDd.gifv

When I move the weapon: trail shown as supposed to
When I move the armature of the weapon: no trail at all
Ingame: trail is somewhere completely different and moves with my head movement @-@ it's the same with all my trails on different chars, so I'm most likely making a mistake

[slim jewel]

wanna test if the animation is right. but the value for jaw close switched back to 0 from 1

[torpid light]

@sour hedge that's a problem with world space simulation on particle systems. for some reason they get stuck in game. I don't know of any work arounds

[undone glade]

Changes made while that is on will not save.

[torpid light]

the only thing you can do is make it local space instead but it kinda ruins most of the effect

[slim jewel]

ofc i stopped the animation - edited it -start it again to see the changes. just allways switches back

[inner monolith]

Is character uploading still not working?

oh shiet its Toocanzs 😮

[sour hedge]

ooh, ok. Weird though, I defenitely saw model that had it working @-@

[jade rain]

@fast bloom where do i check for " if all they're doing is checking Enabled on an audiosource "

[fast bloom]

can you show me the Animation tab for your override?

@clear yew hi there

[jade rain]

@fast bloom the key frame thingo

[fast bloom]

yeah

[jade rain]

@fast bloom https://gyazo.com/53beac44cefb5e2e01c57cdb3f6f788c

is that what u needed

[clear yew]

Turn it off on first and on on 2nd o think

[jade rain]

so move the second series of dot things to 2 seconds?

is that wat u mean twofist?

[clear yew]

No

Click the check box

[jade rain]

ye

Oh

i getu now

turn pistol tick box off

and keep audio sources on

[clear yew]

Both off on first

I think

I dont remember anymore lol

[fast bloom]

Both on on both

if they are then that looks fine

it may just be an audiosource problem instead

[jade rain]

by that u mean its a problem with the sfx i used

[fast bloom]

or the settings

[jade rain]

https://gyazo.com/5e9f40c58e271bbdf6a57ba7667ae474

theres the hierarchy ^^^^

https://gyazo.com/8ae46bf7d999eee85c415f91a8a4a64f

https://gyazo.com/ee9e7a8c9457e26b59d43c0f0416edfe

the settings

[clear yew]

Put distance higher

And maximum

[jade rain]

what like 50 meters

[fast bloom]

that's pretty much what I use but with more volume, not sure why you are having issues in that case

what do you hear?

[jade rain]

static

like the sound fucking up

https://gyazo.com/911d1884648d8c3ee1eea6d5a42152da @clear yew this better?

[clear yew]

Dont ask me try it

[jade rain]

servers are ded anyhow 😛

[clear yew]

I cant even check my values cuz not home yet

[jade rain]

=\

[fast bloom]

I guess you could try a different sound file, try an .ogg format if you can

when you can*

[jade rain]

yea it is in ogg format

i was thinking maybe it is the sound effect it self

[clear yew]

Try mp3

[jade rain]

@clear yew when u get home tell me what format ur thingo is in

ur sound effect

[clear yew]

Mine is mp3

[jade rain]

@fast bloom your sfx's are they mp3 as well

[fast bloom]

mine is ogg

[clear yew]

Altough i did have problrms last night too

[jade rain]

hmm

🤔

[clear yew]

On the big size its as it should be

But my small one i dont hear iy

[jade rain]

i can send u what my ogg is

[clear yew]

But others do

[jade rain]

the sfx it self

cause in audacity i did increase the DB as a joke

so maybe the db increase broke it?

[clear yew]

So might just be vrchat borking tbh

[fast bloom]

yeah maybe it's too loud and you're being censored

[jade rain]

shall i send u the sfx

promise no virus

i swear on matsix

[fast bloom]

nah just try the original with 0.3 or something and see if you hear it better

then tweak from there

[jade rain]

what u mean the original 0.3

[fast bloom]

the file before you upped the db

and the slider in unity at 0.3

mine is pretty average file at 0.15

but it sounds loud up close anyway

[jade rain]

OH i do recall getting the warnning when i went to upload about " your avatar has sound something something safe limits"

[fast bloom]

yeah it does give you that warning whenever you have an audiosource

[jade rain]

ah

[granite sapphire]

The max volume is 0.5 i believe tho

[jade rain]

audacity or unity

[granite sapphire]

Blender/unity

[queen oriole]

sorry for the dump question but can i somehow rename the mixamo.com dance?

[cloud island]

Hey I've been having some trouble getting lip sync functioning on any of my models, I've tried both a mouth flap bone which I've tested in unity and had it working and a blend shape but even though I assign them in the avatar descriptor it doesn't function in the game

@queen oriole Press F2

[queen oriole]

oh damn :ausTy:

[granite sapphire]

@queen oriole yeah just rename it inside the fbx 🤔

[queen oriole]

i go with the f2 way x

xD

[granite sapphire]

Well yeah same thing 😄

[queen oriole]

im pretty new to this so xD

[mystic umbra]

Im trying to create an animtion of the head tilting

but I cant see it working

[fast bloom]

you should use the Animator properties instead of the Armature properties

[undone glade]

Body movements animator, facial expressions body mesh

[mystic umbra]

Oh

[spice meteor]

If i Import a fbx with animations and set it to humanoid should i unmap the toes of the animation model like on my own one?

[undone glade]

@mystic umbra this is why we make duplicates first 👌

[jade rain]

^

cause animations fuckup the model

[clear yew]

@jade rain ive got first frame both on and 2nd frame both off, and 100 max distance and 100 maximum

[fast bloom]

it shouldn't be necessary since you aren't using the ik or anything on an animation model like that @spice meteor

[clear yew]

min distance and minimum both 1

[jade rain]

@clear yew what exactly do u mean 2nd frame both off

[clear yew]

keyframe in animatino

[jade rain]

as in at the 0:01 mark the two tick boxes are unticked?

[clear yew]

yes

[spice meteor]

@fast bloom i just wonder if there is any collision if my model has toe unbound but the animation model has them

[fast bloom]

@spice meteor I'm not sure anymore actually, I know that if you're importing an mmd dance you should leave it on generic and just play the animation

[jade rain]

dumbass question here

[mystic umbra]

@undone glade I did tho

[jade rain]

colliders only collide with other things with colliders so basically, one avatar with colliders blocking a door way will only block other avatars with colliders no?

[mystic umbra]

😡

[jade rain]

y u no hide main model

y u do dis

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[clear yew]

you dont collide with other people

[jade rain]

😦

[fast bloom]

^

[jade rain]

cause i was imagining making an avatar that blocks a doorway blocking knackles

rip dream

[clear yew]

my dream got crushed too made a pokeball animatino for catching other people but it doesnt go away only on changing avatars 😦

[jade rain]

😦

[clear yew]

saves me work of putting in the particles / sounds i suppose

[fast bloom]

@clear yew the pokeball? 😮

[clear yew]

@fast bloom yea

[fast bloom]

do you want some help to fix it?

[clear yew]

id love it, but ive had only 1 person respond to the problem since ive been asking and he told me it was not possible bcs limitations

[fast bloom]

well of course catching another player isn't possible but what else would be the problem

[clear yew]

the animation just repeats itself

and i cant use any other gestures anymore

[fast bloom]

do you want it to be 1 gesture for the whole thing or 1 gesture to draw 1 gesture to 'catch' like a gun

[clear yew]

i have 1 gesture to draw and 1 gesture to "catch"

[fast bloom]

the draw works ok right?

[clear yew]

yep

gun works ok too

the only thing that is different is that its an 8 second long animation

[fast bloom]

hm

oh right, to throw the pokeball and everything

[clear yew]

yea

[fast bloom]

I'm stupid and forgot how pokeballs work

[clear yew]

lmao

[fast bloom]

can you put it in an animation slot even though it's not as fun

[clear yew]

yea that works properly

but i dont want that 😦

[fast bloom]

😦

[clear yew]

oh well thanks anyway

[sacred gate]

you can do it @clear yew

you just have to do it a different way

instead of using the gesture to trigger the 8 second animation, you need to use the gesture to activate an object with an 8 second animation attached to it

[fast bloom]

oh, right

then just hold the gesture for 8 seconds

[sacred gate]

exactly

[clear yew]

so i put the animation on the pokeball instead of the model?

[sacred gate]

yes

essentially

you might need other objects too

especially if you want to be able to pull out the ball and just hold it without throwing it

[clear yew]

any way to port the animation on the model to the ball?

[sacred gate]

have you made the animation as a component?

[clear yew]

no idea

i just pressed create animatino

[sacred gate]

does it show up on the inspecter under components

[clear yew]

dont think so

i mean

[sacred gate]

then you'll probably have to remake it xd

[clear yew]

it has an animator yea

[sacred gate]

do it like this

make a new empty object

in the heirarchy put the pokeball into the empty object, and make a 2nd empty object inside the first with the pokeball

use a gesture to activate the pokeball

then make an animation for the pokeball inside the 2nd empty object

and use another gesture to trigger that empty object, which will trigger the animation

[clear yew]

that sounds more complicated than just empty object + pokeball

and a pokeball seperated to just hold

[sacred gate]

yeah you can do it like that

but then what happens if you do both gestures at the same time?

you'll have one ball in your hand and another playing the animation

[clear yew]

idk what i just did

but the empty object got the animation somehow

[sacred gate]

lol

it's trial and error

[clear yew]

???

[fast bloom]

what does the animation look like anyway

[clear yew]

like the ball flying

hitting someone

going up

falling down

shaking

and stopping

[fast bloom]

ok so it's an animation just for the separate ball model

[clear yew]

what

i dont know anything anymore

[fast bloom]

there's no player animation involved right

avatar animation

[clear yew]

no

dont need that cuz vr

[fast bloom]

ok then yeah it should be pretty easy using an Animation component on an object like kris said

then ticking it off and gesturing it on

[steady plover]

if I use a custom idle and walking animation, will it break my blinking and lipsyncing animations?

[south mason]

Are there any idle animations out there that stop the knee bend?

[sonic tiger]

@steady plover It shouldnt

[steady plover]

ah ok, thanks!

[clear yew]

but when i remove the animation from the model it doenst work at all anymore

oh wait

nvm

@sacred gate on what should i make the animation? on the pokeball or the empty object?

[sacred gate]

it depends

if you want the animation to play, attach it to the ball

if you want to be able to hold the ball without the animation playing automatically, put it on the empty object

@steady plover blinking and mouth visemes override custom animations, which will be fine for you unless your custom animations do anything with the eyes and mouth

[steady plover]

phew

[sacred gate]

@steady plover like if your custom animation closes your avatar's eyes, the blinking will still try to blink so your eyes will blink whilst closed and look really fucked

[steady plover]

I have noticed that my blinking and mouth visemes dont work on characters with custom emotes though

for some reason

well

long custom emotes

mmd dances

but the animations wouldnt work even while not using the emotes

[sacred gate]

maybe you didn't attach them correctly?

[clear yew]

i dont have to redo it

[acoustic nest]

So would anyone have an idea as to why my shape keys don't seem to be exporting on my fbx when they are all named properly and to the best of my knowledge my export settings are correct?

[clear yew]

i just have to rename the paths

pogchamp

actually

[sacred gate]

@acoustic nest so they don't appear in unity animation tab?

[acoustic nest]

They are all of my visemes for eye tracking and lip sync, and they don't appear in unity

[sacred gate]

@acoustic nest they generated in blender without any errors?

[acoustic nest]

I didn't generate them but they work in blender

[sacred gate]

@acoustic nest ok, so in unity do you have more than one body mesh?

[south mason]

How do I get my fbx to play nice with mixamo?

[acoustic nest]

Negative

[sacred gate]

@acoustic nest how many avatars do you have in your unity scene?

[acoustic nest]

only the one

[sacred gate]

@acoustic nest can you post a picture of your animation tab where the visemes should be?

@south mason where did you get your fbx from?

[acoustic nest]

It is a from scratch model

[south mason]

Blender

[clear yew]

so, if i want to have an animation where a mesh on a weapon would animate and move, would i have to add a bone to the mesh?

[sonic tiger]

not necissarily. you can animated object transforms directly

[clear yew]

if i select the weapon as a whole and do transform, it moves, however if i select the specific mesh and use transform, nothing happens

[acoustic nest]

This what you want? @sacred gate https://gyazo.com/88d6119074179916a664da360ec6349a

It's not my first time doing visemes which is why I'm so confused atm

[echo gull]

just a quick question ... are hidden items that only appear in animations part of the 20k tris for the upload ?

[lean acorn]

Nope

[echo gull]

sweet thanks

[sonic tiger]

@clear yew Not sure why that would be

Might need to put it in its own gameobject in unity

[clear yew]

I'm trying to add bones to each piece to see if that works

it's already its own gameobject

[sacred gate]

@acoustic nest can you show the full screen with the hierarchy expanded to show the body mesh?

[sullen hill]

Does anyone know where I can find those custom dance animations?

[clear yew]

@sacred gate alright got it ready except it isnt in the weird sitting pose now and the model doesnt have a animation on it, only the 2 empty objects triggering the pokeball

[acoustic nest]

https://gyazo.com/cbbd8cbad703ac1a76cadb96316eb9da

[clear yew]

is that how its supposed to be then?

[sacred gate]

@clear yew i think so, hard to tell without sitting. It's worth noting that you should make the animation before you attach it to your main armature

seeing*

[clear yew]

yea

or do i need to have an animation on the model that triggers the gameobjects animation?

[sacred gate]

@acoustic nest ok, issue must be in blender. I'm thinking it might be that the FBX export settings aren't set right

@clear yew yes you'll have to do that, but do the gameobjects animation before you attach it to the armature. and do the trigger animation for the main model on a duplicate of the main model

otherwise you'll break the main model

and have to start again

or just do everything on a dupe for safety an

[clear yew]

yea i done that

i have like 10 dupes right now

[sacred gate]

lol

[clear yew]

http://puu.sh/yXEAZ.png

[sacred gate]

you'll figure it out, i was in the same position as you a couple weeks ago but you learn from fucking up

now i can do animations on a model in like an hour

[acoustic nest]

@sacred gate My export settings https://gyazo.com/27dfbad2ea166c4610d9e9735d7568ae

[clear yew]

think ill sleep and do it tonight

am to tired

[covert linden]

Got a quick question, can I add sound to a custom animation (like a dance)

[clear yew]

thanks tho

[magic delta]

Are number of animations limited by gestures?

Or how many can you apply to an avatar?

[sacred gate]

@acoustic nest i don't know the settings off the top of my head 😒

@covert linden yes

@magic delta limited to how many slots there are in the customoverides

[clear yew]

so, having bones fixes my original problem however now I need to have the mesh spin on its axis, however whenever i try to do that through transform, all of them simply point the mesh in a direction rather than rotating it the way i want it to

[sacred gate]

@clear yew i don't really understand what you're trying to do

[clear yew]

just make it stay in place, not point anywhere else, and spin

like a merry go round would

[sacred gate]

just rotate it but make sure the axis you rotate it on is correct

[clear yew]

all of the axis make it point somewhere

[sacred gate]

rotate it over multiple axis

[clear yew]

one sec, i might be dumb

[sacred gate]

pictures would help me understand what you're trying to do

[dapper veldt]

Any tutorials on how to animate the mouth? (So it moves when talking)

[sacred gate]

@dapper veldt look up vrchat mouth visemes on youtube

[magic delta]

@sacred gate thanks

[clear yew]

pretty much, i want it to spin on its Y axis

[sacred gate]

@clear yew depending on where it's pointing it's Y axis won't necessarily be upwards

[clear yew]

true

[gloomy kayak]

https://gyazo.com/557cbe8d9c4b86fe066aad34d1fb9234 what do i set this controller to?

[clear yew]

in this case the weapon is pointing straight up

[sacred gate]

@gloomy kayak what are you trying to animate?

@clear yew the coloured lines will show you which way the axis are pointing

[gloomy kayak]

im trying to add an emote like just a magic circle when its done to see if i can pull it off

[sacred gate]

@gloomy kayak I don't think you need to build an animator for that

are you following a tutorial?

[gloomy kayak]

havnt found any good ones that talk about using particales just custom animations. this is the only one i found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNq1p8oXB3o and he doesnt go to in depth of how to use them in game like what diffrent emotes are ect

[clear yew]

so, ultimately, it is rotating, however it's rotating in such a way that the mesh starts to become messed up

so i imagine i have to have the armature line up in perfect symmetry so it can rotate without errors

i just didn't think that mattered

[sacred gate]

@gloomy kayak ok, that's a good tutorial it's the one I learnt from. I'll try to walk you through it

@gloomy kayak you need to make an empty object on the left in the heirarchy of the scene, drag your magic circle particle into it from the assets. Set the empty object to disabled. Make an animation with 2 keyframes where they both enable the empty object. attach the empty object to your avatar in the scene hierarchy. attach the animation file to the custom overrides gesture for your avatar

[uneven moon]

i made custom face animations for a avatar, and now if i hit 2 of the animations (1 on each controller) i get some kind of mix betweem the 2. how do i prevent this?

[sacred gate]

@uneven moon pretty sure you can't prevent that

[novel locust]

Does anyone have information/instructions/videos regarding making your avatar be able to draw with their finger? Thanks.

[sacred gate]

@novel locust ask under development-advanced

[uneven moon]

oh, thought on already made character. the "current" animation overrides the previous one to prevent that. ill keep digging

[sacred gate]

@uneven moon what do you mean by already made character?

[uneven moon]

oh, went to some avatar world . ive never had this problem on those. except for this first one i tried making myself

[gloomy kayak]

is there a place to find out all the emotes ect

[uneven moon]

thought it had something to do with the fact that i only assigned the new animation and left all others at "none" in the override window

[sacred gate]

@uneven moon if it was an old world, or made by VRC devs there could be scripts on those avatars to fix that issue. I'm pretty sure you can't fix it

@gloomy kayak you could ask me 😄

[uneven moon]

@sacred gate ah so its normal? or is it only visible to me? havent seen it on other people. and some of the "mix"faces look horrible 😛

[gloomy kayak]

so if i bind something to an emote will it be that number in the emote menu?

[sacred gate]

@uneven moon it's normal and i think it's visible to everyone. most people don't make facial expressions on more than one gesture. I don't think i've found a single person with one. like you said, some people run around with prebuilt ones like Kanna which work correctly, probably because of old scripting etc.

[gloomy kayak]

also for this do i have to go through and set none to its equivalent for in game? https://gyazo.com/7bf127e15f9ddea7c7b1a7b517a9b29a

[uneven moon]

@sacred gate alright. thank you for the help !

[sacred gate]

@gloomy kayak yes, it's literally left to right top to bottom. It will replace the emote name in your in-game menu with the name of the animation file you set

@gloomy kayak no, you can leave none as it is and it will default

@uneven moon no problem. if you think about it, just by having your hands you're doing a gesture, so if you were to disable gestures whilst gesturing you'd break everything :p

@uneven moon I could be completely wrong though, but as far as i'm aware yeah

[fast bloom]

would it help at all to set the other blend shapes you make use of to 0 in the animations?

would that make each new gesture 'override' the last one or still mix

[sacred gate]

@fast bloom it still overrides

[river trellis]

Hi, i just downloaded some custom animations from Unity Asset store, anyone know how i apply one of these animations to my avatar? If anyone got a tutorial exactly for this i would be happy.

[fast bloom]

okie

thanks

[sacred gate]

i mean mixes

it still mixes

sorry

[fast bloom]

yeah it's ok

the still saved it

[sacred gate]

xd

[fast bloom]

hi Grana, what animations are they, do you have a link? basically you want to make a duplicate of CustomOverrideEmpty in the VRCSDK/Examples/Sample Assets/Animation folder, move it wherever you like. then assign the animations you want to the different overrides, and set your avatar to use that CustomOverride file

I will find a video

[river trellis]

I downloaded a package called "basic motion Version1"

[fast bloom]

https://youtu.be/V0l4-pH3vI4?t=11m4s this part of this particular video shows where to get the override file

towards the end of the video he fills in some of the animations and sets it to the avatar

as long as they are compatible that should be all you have to do

[river trellis]

Ah alright i think i got the idea of it, Thanks mate.

[fast bloom]

no worries, good luck

[dense radish]

When i start walking my avatart lifts in air, anyone know why?

[undone glade]

@dense radish custom walking animation?

[dense radish]

didnt do any

[undone glade]

Any animations at all?

[dense radish]

none that i know

[undone glade]

Thinking maybe a position thing that must be deleted.

[dense radish]

i stand on ground when idle, but when i start walking i lift up

[undone glade]

I am unsure. If it was an animation you created that's constant I would have you check to see if a position was added to it.

[steady plover]

do you lift up for any other animations, such as emotes?

[dense radish]

i just imported the fbx nothing else

[clear yew]

yeah, this is the weirdest thing

no matter what i do i cant get it to spin properly

it just kind of wobbles on its axis

[peak relic]

Does anyone know any Unity assets that will make an object move when you speak?

[fierce copper]

that'd be cool but im not sure if thats an option

and if it was there i doubt itd be free

[peak relic]

Like for example I would like the speakers on my model to move when I talk.

[gloomy kayak]

https://gyazo.com/526d3b3885a8cd5774fd0c8a32e08d59 anyone else getting this?

[fierce copper]

eh maybe something to do with animating?

@gloomy kayak not sure havent published anything yet, might be servers though

they were having issues a lil earlier

anyone here happens to know how to do the thing with the like, galaxy fx particles

as in spawning pictures around everyone

[queen oriole]

bcs the server are down

[fast bloom]

I've just done an avatar upload successfully

well, as far as I can see so far 😃

[covert linden]

Does anyonw know how to add sounds to custom animations?

[fast bloom]

create an AudioSource somewhere in your avatar hierarchy, disable it, and then in the animation you want to find its Enabled property and turn it on

[clear yew]

alright hopefully it works now but i cant test cuz reeee servers

[covert linden]

@fast bloom where do I find Enabled property? I'm not sure what you mean with that

[fast bloom]

sorry, it's called isactive

[fierce copper]

@covert linden if you made an animation clip you can find the file under armature/wherever u put it

if you press the plus it gets added ro the properties

and there will be a checkbox called isActive

[covert linden]

I got a clip from mixamo and was hoping to add music to it, so its only in my assets

[fast bloom]

oh right

I'm not sure about that then

[river trellis]

Hey, when in Unity -- > Animation... is there a faster way to add properties when it comes to the animator rig parts? Or do i have to do them all individually...

[frosty pendant]

question: can i use both of the hand bones fully and try to switch them with an nimation or sth?

[fast bloom]

@river trellis if there is I haven't found it yet 😦

[undone glade]

@gloomy kayak servers be down. Upload later if nobody told you yet

[heady sundial]

What is the "Default Take" AnimationClip that is now in my character's project file?

[echo gull]

That should be pretty easy, just set a particle emmiter to emit pictures of knuckles

[clear yew]

vr users taking the meme to the next lvl

[fierce copper]

@sonic tiger happent o know if there are any guids on the topic?

i need that in my life

[sonic tiger]

Do you know how to make a material in unity?

[sullen saddle]

is there a quick way to add in all the fingers when doing an animation?

or to save a template?

[fierce copper]

eh i know the basics, i started doing stuff with animations yesterday xD

[clear yew]

@fierce copper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61vO-IswFps&t=546s* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzYvNKgzTKY

[sonic tiger]

Awesome. I can walk you through it in PM

[clear yew]

follow these 2 tutorials

[fierce copper]

@sullen saddle i mena if u made it once u can copy them to a next keypoint

@clear yew thanks! 😄

[sullen saddle]

I mean when doing a new animation

add component > animater > finger bone

everytime for wach animation is so tedious

[analog meteor]

is there a way to get a piece of my avatar to spin?

[whole sigil]

@sullen saddle Keep a character with animations set up and hidden, then just copy and paste their animations when you need to and change the values or whatever you need to

[sullen saddle]

Yeah I just figured out you can copy the keyframes to a new animation, this is saved me hours of work haha

[whole sigil]

😉

[analog meteor]

alright so my avatar has a beanie with a propeller I want to get the propeller on his hat to spin if anyone has any ideas it would be great 🤡

[spark shard]

Is there any way to make an object go from opaque to transparent over a set amount of time? Kind of like a fade to nothing?

[muted prairie]

Animation 😃 @analog meteor

[whole sigil]

🙄

[analog meteor]

so I can use an animation to just make it constantly spin?

[muted prairie]

Yep, gotta make sure the loop is perfect though

You'll need two or three bones and make all his move

[analog meteor]

alright got a good tutorial for animation? lol sorry new to unity use scripts in SL

[muted prairie]

This probably https://youtu.be/V0l4-pH3vI4

[analog meteor]

I would imagine the prop only being a single mesh I could just use one bone to rotate it

[muted prairie]

That too

i thought you wanted to only have the blade move and not the whole propeller

but that works too if it's not too visible i guess !

[analog meteor]

well the propeller is like 1 piece of plastic on a post so the whole thing would spin

[river trellis]

Anyone have a simple list of what the Emote1,2,3, ProneFWD, rocknroll does ingame so i dont replace the wrong animations? 😄

[echo gull]

ok i can't manage to get my avatar out of the ground during the animation ...

[clear yew]

add the models positioning in the animation where you add stuff

[finite rock]

or u can add root t component in your animation

[olive lynx]

Does anyone know of a good website to get animations from for my avatar? I am already using Mixamo and I tried devientart but Deviant art only gives me .vmd files.

[quasi gale]

@river trellis Emotes and their corresponding animations are listed inside the sdk's TemplateAvatarController.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/361742235525709825/399631140501323796/unknown.png

Does anyone have any good big light animations they can msg me and send me

[south mason]

Is there a guide on creating visemes?

[exotic ember]

Like actually tahe shapekeys or just what visemes vrchat wants

[south mason]

You lost me at shapekeys

[finite rock]

@south mason cat plugin in blender have an option for lip sync it does not solve what you want?

[south mason]

I don't have the three visemes for cats with this model

[young marlin]

is anyone here really good with 3d model skins? cause the one i have isnt working for a custom model i want to use. I have the model, but i need the skin

[river trellis]

Hey so i followed this tutorial here ---> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0l4-pH3vI4
Did everything correct... i think, but none of the animations show up/work ingame

[finite rock]

First: What happens when you try to activate your animation?

[river trellis]

The normal emotes, as if they werent replaced at all

[finite rock]

Did you change your custom standing animation?

[river trellis]

yup

[south mason]

Is it possible to create some visemes for use with cats if the model uses doesn't come with them?

[finite rock]

And there?

[river trellis]

waaaait

i think i realized my retardation

i replaced Fall, Fingerpoint, Fist with custom animation

it should've been the emotes right?

[finite rock]

Do u have vr?

[river trellis]

no, so i realize now that is hand contoller emotes

[finite rock]

If u don't have vr, u should replace your emotes

[river trellis]

yeah mb, thanks for the help tough 😅

[finite rock]

No problem

[tawdry ruin]

Guys a quick question, is there any site like mixamo.com ??

I just need .fbx animations and I dont know where to find them other than on Mixamo.

Thank you!

[finite rock]

maybe https://sketchfab.com/models?date=week&features=animated&sort_by=-likeCount ?

[tawdry ruin]

Hmm...I know that site, its pretty good but not much free content in terms of animations. But thanks!
If anyone has other alternatives let me know!

[torpid bobcat]

Is there anyway to make an animation that will make my head dissapear? I tried using scaling in the animator on unity but it doesnt allow me to scale it with the animation and just turns red and resets

[lofty crypt]

anyone here use Mixamo for their custom emotes?

[torpid bobcat]

If someone answers my question just @ me so I see it

[tawdry ruin]

@lofty crypt me , but Im already bored of those animations. So I wanted to know if there are any other sites like Mixamo.

[clear yew]

how do you use those animations

[glass anchor]

yo, do you need VR to use animation overrides?

or is it the same as just accessing it from the emotes menu

[clear yew]

gestures need VR

emotes anyone can do

[glass anchor]

right, so when you do an animation override, is it adding a gesture, or replacing an emote?

[wintry matrix]

overrides existing emote [as an example] or another animation action [like walk forward, etc]

[glass anchor]

alright cool, thx

[clear yew]

hey so how do you use animatinos from mixamo

[wintry matrix]

eg, download a wicked sick dance move from mixamo.com and get it working with your rig/character then ujse an animation override to replace emote5 to swap out the old dance emote

[clear yew]

yeah thats what i wanna do

[wintry matrix]

for mixamo [I use a rig that's similar to the mixamo rig] I upload my character to mixamo, map animation to it, if it works, download it, make sure the rigs match on my rig/asset and the fbx import rig and duplicate the motion file and plug it into an animation override.

[tawdry ruin]

@wintry matrix Do you know any other sites like Mixamo?

[undone mesa]

http://puu.sh/yXPyX/c0818793aa.png

which one is the one to change the sit animation?

[pseudo pewter]

Quick question: how do I play a sound when playing a custom emote?

[wintry matrix]

sites like mixamo? No.. mixamo is ar eally good deal since it's free if you have any form of adobe subscription.

there's other sites that sell mocap/animation data including the unity store

or if you have a kinect or a full body setup [vive] you can record motion in unity and edit it into clips that way.

@undone mesa I'm at work now buit isn't there two override templates? one for standing and one for setting? looks like oyu have the standing one up.

[undone mesa]

when i click the box for sit animation i can only choose the standart override

there is nothing else

[weak tiger]

Do any of you
have a turtorial of emoji?
like making dance

[clear yew]

hey so i have the animation from maximo

how do i clone it

@BigKofJustice#6064

[whole sigil]

does texture baking mess up the internal face animations for most MMD models?

[clear yew]

Hey i got a question regarding the default animation. whenever i move and stop moving, so when it goes back to the standing animation, the body kinda shakes and moves a bit back (or forward on some avatars). is there any way to fix this since it looks super weird?

[lofty crypt]

imported a mixamo anim

thats not the anim i imported fyi

lmao

how do i fix this

[sonic tiger]

That is the default unity humanoid pose!

I believe

Looks like your animator component isnt set up

Or if it is just happening when you do the emote, maybe the imported animation isnt set up as humanoid

[finite rock]

@lofty crypt Inside unity, click on the animation you'have taken from mixamo

and check if your avatar will be stuck underground or not

[lofty crypt]

clicking on the anim does nothing

this is what i did

[finite rock]

No i mean

click in the thing next to it ->

Snake hip...

[lofty crypt]

yeah i did

nothing happened

thats what i just said

the screenshots was just showing the controller temp

incase theres different ways of doing it

[glass anchor]

is there a go-to tutorial for basic overrides?

everything I can find seems to skip over stuff

[finite rock]

It it should open a window like that

[lofty crypt]

unless you want to see the settings

yeah nothing like that shows up

[finite rock]

Can you send me the animation link you downloaded?

[lofty crypt]

https://www.mixamo.com/#/?genres=Dance&limit=96&page=2&type=Motion%2CMotionPack

[fierce copper]

so i was having fun with shaders

and i want the inside of my cylinder to be shadered

and not the outside

is this possible?

[half shell]

how do i apply an fbx i got from mixamo to my avatar?

[sonic tiger]

A shader can have two fully separate calls for back and front faces

[finite rock]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0l4-pH3vI4&t=233s 15:20 @half shell

[sonic tiger]

look up multi pass shders

[half shell]

@finite rock people keep sending me that but i have an fbx file i cannot put an fbx into the animation override controller

[sonic tiger]

You arent following it then

putting the FBX into unity produces an animation

[half shell]

this is what it gave me from mixamo

[sonic tiger]

You might need to set the FBX to humanoid configuration

[finite rock]

/\

[sonic tiger]

Yes, see that one with the play arrow?

That is an animation

[half shell]

yeah i have no way of taking that out

[sonic tiger]

The tutorial never told you to take it out

it lives there, just let it be there

You might need to drag it into a slot in your override, so you can do that from right there where it lives

[half shell]

also in the preview in the bottom right, my avatar doesn't animate with the animation

when i press play

[sonic tiger]

This is likely because you didnt set the FBX config to humanoid

[half shell]

alright

[sonic tiger]

Unity does a thing called animation retargetting, which allows rigs with different skeletons to play the same animation

it only works when all rigs in question are humanoid

[half shell]

ty it worked

:D

[sonic tiger]

Oh sweet! glad it fixed

[half shell]

any limits to lengths of emotes in vrchat?

[sonic tiger]

10 seconds

[half shell]

can i cut it?

[pseudo pewter]

Where should the audio source be placed for an animation?

[sonic tiger]

Yep! In the animation tab on your imported FBX, you can shorten it

[pseudo pewter]

On the main model or the copy on which the animation was created

[half shell]

@pseudo pewter are you using a gesture animation or an emote animation? from my experience audio doesn't work on emote animations, though i could be wrong

[sonic tiger]

Main model, preferably before you copy so you can test it on your copy

[pseudo pewter]

Emote

Aw

[sonic tiger]

Just make another copy 😃

[half shell]

as in, i followed like 4 guides of putting audio onto an emote

and none worked

and @grizzled furnace had a look at my stuff and said it looks like it should work even though it does not

so 🤷

[pseudo pewter]

Hmm, I'll give it a couple more tries

[half shell]

how would i shorten the animation from the fbx?

not sure how to do it

[sonic tiger]

In your properties window for the imported fbx, the rightmost tab is animations

[half shell]

ty

i couldn't get audio emotes working for a Freddy Krueger model

was hoping to walk up behind people and play weird sound effects

so instead i'm just gonna fill his emotes with stupid dances

:p

[sonic tiger]

I havent done audio yet, sorry

[half shell]

from what i can gather it's easy and works fine on VR gestures

but not on emotes

you basically put an enable for an audio source as part of an animation, and that's pretty much it

[finite rock]

@half shell I have one emote with sound

[half shell]

how did you do it

is it an actual emote or a VR gesture

[finite rock]

Almost the same thing as if it was a gesture

[half shell]

:o?

can i activate it on desktop is the question

[finite rock]

but the sad thing is if u don't make your animation really good, your avatar will be like a rock while talking

lol

yesh i don't have vr

[half shell]

can you not just make a half a second blank animation?

then have the audio just play?

or does the audio only last as long as the animation

[finite rock]

u will need to make your animation last as long as the audio

[half shell]

d'you think that was my problem where the audio didn't play

[finite rock]

maybe

[half shell]

it's a 3 second voice clip

[finite rock]

when i did try my animation had 0:01 sec

so it was not working

when i changed to 5sec - ( my audio have 5sec) it worked

[half shell]

is there a way to change the 'default' pose unity puts your model in when you're animating?

because it seems to put it into a weird crouched pose

[finite rock]

yeah of course

[half shell]

it's just a weird crouching pose, clipping with the floor

rather than something useful like a t-pose

[finite rock]

i'll show u one sec

[half shell]

kk

[stray gulch]

is it possible to add 1min+ vmd to your charcters?

[half shell]

what

:D

[stray gulch]

ever see people with min long dances?

[finite rock]

@half shell

[half shell]

i always thought they looped them

[stray gulch]

nope

[finite rock]

inside your animation tab

[half shell]

so where's your audio file out of interest?

[finite rock]

oh sorry that animation don't have sound

i'll make one

[half shell]

then where do i get it to play the sound

[finite rock]

one sec

[half shell]

:D

this is the model i'm using

so

[stray gulch]

sildek do you know how to add motions to your character?

[gloomy kayak]

how would i go about adding a gun to my character by pointing?

[stray gulch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUSe5uDLSJM this is the best resource ive found but the guy says you can only have 10 sec dances. I know they go longer

[half shell]

override the point animation with one that spawns in your gun

[finite rock]

@half shell

@stray gulch what u mean?

[half shell]

@gloomy kayak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61vO-IswFps

[gloomy kayak]

ty

[finite rock]

like dance animation?

[stray gulch]

yea

[gloomy kayak]

oh it has no sound rip

[half shell]

you can see what he does from his mouse @gloomy kayak

[finite rock]

well u can make one @stray gulch

or download from mixano or any other site

[stray gulch]

I've found a few i like and want to add them to my charcter

[finite rock]

@gloomy kayak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC6sW4kJwa8&

[half shell]

@finite rock so you set up an audio source, linking to a piece of audio in your assets, then as part of the animation you set the audio source to IsActive?

[finite rock]

yeah

[half shell]

i did that earlier and it didn't work

have you tested that works with emotes?

did i just do it wrong

[finite rock]

yes

[half shell]

alright

i'll make the animation longer

[glad topaz]

soo just wondering if theres a way to make a sound effect play when say i stab someone with a weapon or will i have to put it in a seperate hand gesture?

[finite rock]

I mean not that one, but the one i did yesterday i could hear my song and ppl too

[half shell]

p.s. how do i edit animations i've already made

last time i tried the add property button was greyed out

[finite rock]

tbh idk

lol

[glad topaz]

last time i checked you have to have the model you made it on selected

[half shell]

wanted to import an animation from Dead By Daylight for Freddy, then add the audio thing to it

:p

[glad topaz]

so if you deleted it GL

[finite rock]

yeah /\

[stray gulch]

@finite rock basically how do i do this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hqPc4bkKnI

[finite rock]

time?

[glad topaz]

its best when making animations to keep the model and just hide them after creation so you can edit later if needed

[finite rock]

I would say, he bought/made or downloaded a mmd animation

[half shell]

@stray gulch he looks like he is stringing them together

i bet he replaced a load of them

[stray gulch]

hes not

its one piece

[half shell]

how d'you know :p

[sonic tiger]

If you make changes to the model, no problem. Just delete the animation duplicate, make a new one, and drop the animation back onto the new one

[stray gulch]

ive seen others do it

[half shell]

@sonic tiger do i REQUIRE the animation duplicate?

[finite rock]

I mean it's look more a emote than a gesture

[sonic tiger]

No, but your model setup is going to be altered a bit by the animating

[stray gulch]

yea its triggered but what people say it can only be 10 sec long

[finite rock]

Well he could do that, but it would be really hard i think

[sonic tiger]

The duplicating prevents issues arising from that

[half shell]

as in, once i've made the animation on the duplicate and applied it to the animation override, can i delete the dupe?

[stray gulch]

yes

[half shell]

k

[finite rock]

@stray gulch Do u know how to make a basic emote?

Like just standing still or something like that

[sonic tiger]

The duplicate is only there for you to easily work on the animation with

it is disposable

[half shell]

any way to snag the default VRChat animations?

[stray gulch]

@finite rock ive done simple blinks and face emotes

[half shell]

i kinda wanna take the default Idle animation and modify it

[clear yew]

hey so i have a hip hop dance from maximo on my model but he doesnt do it right

like it looks messed up

[finite rock]

Can u send a pic? @clear yew

or gif

[clear yew]

yeah sure lemme open the game

again

[half shell]

@finite rock so how would i go about setting up a 'default' pose for an emote

something other than 'half crouching in the floor'

[finite rock]

Inside unity?

[half shell]

yeah

[finite rock]

Well first of all remember to make a duplicate

and make your animation with your duplicate

[half shell]

just realised i have to turn off the animation controller with the duplicate too

[clear yew]

@sildek#3666 nvm i got it

its working

[finite rock]

nice

[half shell]

@finite rock so how would i go about posing the bones in animation mode

[finite rock]

add property -> animators

chose what u want to change

[half shell]

oh god

all of it? :D

[finite rock]

well up to u

hahah

[half shell]

is it seriously this complicated to animate stuff in unity?

[finite rock]

with these your avatar will be standing up

well that is the way i know

[half shell]

somehow he already is

guess that's a start

he's in t-pose somehow

i think because i duped him while he had custom standing anims set to the vrc controller

then removed the vrc from the dupe

[finite rock]

and tbh i'm noob working with unity

[half shell]

:p

you said you had an emote with audio?

what animation do you use with it

[finite rock]

well it was just a test

so my avatar is idle with voice that is my animation

[half shell]

:p

so it's doing nothing for 5 seconds

in tpose?

[finite rock]

yeah something like that

[half shell]

lol :D

[clear yew]

is it possible to make the animations longer then 10 secs?

[restive trail]

Is there a way to quickly get all the mouth visemes into the avatar descriptor with the new sdk?

Not having a dropdown is quite tedious

[rain wyvern]

Ay lads so I'm doing the animation override thing and I've made it so the animation makes a weapon appear in my hand but I also have one on my back, how would I make it so I can toggle between with one hand gesture.

https://i.imgur.com/WHwcp2i.png

[restive trail]

Both need to be seperate models. Turn the one on your back invis while turning the one in your hand visible

[half shell]

you don't

i don't think you do at least

[rain wyvern]

aa

I see

[half shell]

one custom thing per gesture

only

you need to replace another gesture for a second gun

so if you replace rock n roll with a pistol, you can't also have rock n roll be a rifle, you have to replace lets say pointing for that

[rain wyvern]

Nah what i want to toggle between is making it visible and not visible

but I think that @restive trail got me a solution already

[half shell]

ah

@finite rock so i copied what you did for your animation yet in unity it plays it when i actually just wanna change his position

[clear yew]

i'll ask again if anyone knows how to extend time for the emotes

[stray gulch]

im looking to

[torpid bobcat]

Anyone here able to help me make my models head dissappear for an animation?

[gloomy kayak]

what is the rock and roll animation?

[stray gulch]

@torpid bobcat have you made a weapon in vrchat yet?

[torpid bobcat]

Yeah, im trying to make an aniamtion to remove my head as jack skellington

I already have the head in hand set up

it works

but I want my models head to dissappear during the animation

I attempted to use the scale key however it doesnt work

[stray gulch]

@torpid bobcat delete your head in blender and sperate it like you would a weapon

[torpid bobcat]

Wouldnt that then cause my head to no longer function with looking around in vr

[stray gulch]

thats different problem

you asked how to animate and remove your head

[indigo lintel]

Would there be someone here who knows why my animations are visible to me but nobody else?

Strikes me as a weird-as-hell problem to have

[torpid bobcat]

I asked how to make my had dissappear with an animation

head*

[stray gulch]

@torpid bobcat if you can find a way to play with the shaders in the animtion you can do it

[torpid bobcat]

Already looked for that

I also tried using scale but it locks it for the duplicated animation model

[stray gulch]

unless you've seen someone and asked how they did it thats gonna be tough

[clear yew]

Or be like me steal thier model

[torpid bobcat]

No never seen someone do it but I highly doubt its impossible

[stray gulch]

@zone i just had an idea what if you got a box and made it a mirror so nothing would show on the other side and place it in your hand liike a weapon

like an illusion

@torpid bobcat i just had an idea what if you got a box and made it a mirror so nothing would show on the other side and place it in your hand liike a weapon
like an illusion

[torpid bobcat]

I dont think that would work

[stray gulch]

@torpid bobcat you could also make other parts of yourself disapear as well as other people

@torpid bobcat people do it hiding their name

[torpid bobcat]

I just turned my head upside down for now

[finite rock]

looks cool

[half shell]

i am fucking terrible at animation jesus chrsit.

so i told it to do a thing for 5s, at first it kept spamming it within half a second over and over, then when i changed the length of the keyframe it no longer does it at all

[torpid bobcat]

So the issue there

is your second key frame needs to have the same input

thats or spread your keyfram out 5 seconds

[unique night]

@Tenshinen#8213 5 seconds is 5:00 on the timeline
