animation

[novel flower]

Anyone know how to get sfx small enough to fit in eye like this?

[sand apex]

use particle system?

[gusty pawn]

Would there be a way to make the right hand invisible just for that animation?

[novel flower]

I used particle system but couldnt get it small enough lol

[uneven moon]

is it possible to have a animation gradually animate. like closeing eyes, and setting it to the vive controller trigger? or are they all either on/off. no middle ground

[uncut monolith]

Is there a limit on how long sounds are allowed to be in game? Like if I decided to replace one of my gestures with with an audio source that basically plays a song for 2 minutes

[hard sinew]

What could be at fault if attaching a new animation to an override controller causes the model to not be loadable in-game?

Hmm, removing the animation and adding it back again fixed it >_<

[junior epoch]

Im having a problem - When I look at a mirror at my custom avatar, I see this, but when I look down, I see myself normally. However, others told me Im the default avatar. This started happening with I parented a gun to the armature of my hips and did a animation overload to have a gun in my hand. Any idea why its doing this?

[shrewd moon]

vampire

[clear yew]

he's definetly a vampire

to be fair i don't know, animations are the hardest thing for me, i yet have to learn those

does anyone know how to make the ear like flop, idk how else to put it

add dynamic bones to it, increase gravity?

tryed that but its not what i wanted

like it

change the bone orientation?

you can even make it animated

how do i change the bone orientation?

@clear yew

[nimble ridge]

@novel flower try making the whole emitter smaller, like with a mesh instead of particle size.

[novel flower]

@nimble ridge What do you mean? change shape from cone to mesh?

[nimble ridge]

You can do that too, but I meant to lower the size of the emitter by selecting it, press r and the drag from the middle of the white cube, you should be able to make small enough to fit the eye.

BTW what's your gravity modifier and initial speed set to?

If it still doesn't work just tell me and I'll start unity to find a better way :)

[novel flower]

oh i tried shrinking it throuh small white cube and it wouldnt go below a certain size. not small enough to fit in a hoppou eye =/

start speed at 5

don't see a gravity mod

oh nvm

0.5

[nimble ridge]

Hmm... When you select shape in the particle tab, how big is the cylinder ?

[novel flower]

Still too big lol

Trying to go for that

[nimble ridge]

Honly gosh!

Oh wait your particles aren't parenterala corectly

They should be under neck-head

And scale set to local

[novel flower]

setting it to local and attaching it will shrink it?

[nimble ridge]

It will remain the same from what I know but you will be able to shrink it after

Because unity keeps position and size when changing parents

[novel flower]

hmm didnt work still giant but now im shooting fire out of my eye instead of on me lol

[nimble ridge]

Well now check the particle size and set speed to 0, try fiddle with negative gravity to get a rising effect

Oh set start size to like 0.3

[novel flower]

im able to up right it by changing speed and such but the size wont get below certain amount which still engulfs me xD

[nimble ridge]

I'm gonna open unity and see how I can make it work ill give you the values in like 20 min 🤔

[solid plaza]

Does anyone know why only I can see my snail trail and nobody else?

[novel flower]

Not sure what particle pack they used or values xD

[nimble ridge]

I have one similar to this but I forgot it's name :P

[novel flower]

crap

send it to me through DM xD

[paper haven]

I'm trying to get an audio Source to play constantly every 20 seconds, should I put it in the IDLE animation as an override? It makes my character do the animation pose in Unity, wouldn't want to break the Idle animation.

[nimble ridge]

@paper haven you dont need to do that just add an audio source with the clip edied to have a 20 seconds gap betwen plays you can use audacity to insert silence

[paper haven]

@nimble ridge Oh yeah, it doesn't need to be animated. Do you turn on Play on Awake and Loop?

I was going to try and have a quiet ambient effect, so I'll probably need to scale down voluem too

[nimble ridge]

exactly and the volume ~0.3 its ok 0.5 is max

[paper haven]

The reason I said 20 seconds cause it was a 20 second clip, it's just breathing for a Michael Myers skin, lol

made the range really small so I can stand behind peopel and only then they can hear it

[nimble ridge]

😃

[paper haven]

Thanks for the help, Bahka

[nimble ridge]

np

[wind otter]

So im testing my model in game , and my torso is all jiggly , how do i make it non jiggly.

[nimble ridge]

@jovial rain yeah i think they are using that one

@wind otter are you using dynamic bone or another script?

[wind otter]

i'm not sure even myself, this is my 1st rigging .

[nimble ridge]

well try disablyng any bone script that is atached to the hips

the hips are used by vrchat to do prety much everything and it usualy conflicts with scripts

[steep citrus]

anyone know how to get a game object to move on a time delay without doing more than the standard 2 first frames? I cant get animations longer that 2 frames to work

[nimble ridge]

@steep citrus i never tried it bu i think you need an object with an animation controller with the desired animation and trigger that one with the 2 frame one

[odd mist]

Does anyone know were your can check out cutom animations in game, cant do it anymore since they changed the avatar test world?

[steep citrus]

@nimble ridge are you talking 2 separate animations or something else? Im still not sure how to delay the movement of an object over say 6-7 seconds, so if it is 2 aniamtions I still cant make the entire object I made move without the animator tab actuallly waiting thyose 6-7 seconds

[nimble ridge]

@steep citrus let me try something and ill tell you if it works

oke i think i got iot

[deep spruce]

https://i.imgur.com/QAT4h84.gifv Any idea how i could make the animation work simillary in unity, aka the can to appear in mid animation

[nimble ridge]

so you need to make a parrent thet has an animation of 2 frames of the other cube being activated in the scene the child cube can have ani animation placed onto it

[steep citrus]

So I need to duplicate my game object, create a 2nd animation of the dupe object moving, parent it to the non moving object, add an animator tab to the avatar model I’m going to upload, set the animation on the 2nd frame as the activation of the animation of the dupe object?

[deep spruce]

:|

[pulsar heron]

Does someone know why my custom animation works in the Unity Preview but not in VC?

[steep citrus]

hrmmm I think that may be it Bahka once I understand what you did better I should be able to apply it to my particle effect I made lol, thanks a ton man!

[nimble ridge]

@deep spruce you have to import the animation into unity and edit it to have the can parented to the hand and make it appear im still new to this so im not sure how to edit a animation if its read only tho :/

@pulsar heron what did you use to trigger the animation in vrc?

sorry for late response

[paper haven]

Hey Bahka, I uploaded the Audio Source as active and on my char's hips as a child, but I didn't hear anything in-game, does it need to be activated or something?

with an animation

Oh, maybe cause the minimum was too big.. lemme check

[nimble ridge]

theres some stuff you need to do before launching it into vrc

[weary cargo]

any workaround so that particle effects that are connected to a weapon or whatever dont get stuck at the waiste?

[nimble ridge]

@weary cargo can you send a pic

[paper haven]

Ah, yeah that fixed it, thanks Bahka

[weary cargo]

i mean its a comon problem i think with particle effects such as the paint tool and so on

but i can surly send a pic

damn its harder to see then i though :p

https://gyazo.com/22b207acdc78f29eeb63ab58e6bb17bd

well my sword is there

and the particles are stuck in one place between me and knuckles

[nimble ridge]

it may be a parenting issue

[weary cargo]

https://gyazo.com/f74fa2ddeed3bc14adb572c5b1f6694d

[nimble ridge]

🤔

[weary cargo]

also the effect has the mesh shape of the sword

but same thing happends with trails from the finger tip aswell

its like a common thing apperently with effects that uses particles

but not sure if there is a workaround or something

[nimble ridge]

is it using world as the simulatet space?

[weary cargo]

yeh

all of the things use world

[nimble ridge]

yeah that causes alot of issues not sure why (sometimes will sometimes wont) try selecting local

[tropic steppe]

i've seen little avatars flying around as thier walk animation, how are they doing that is it a custom walk animation? Or something you can setup in unity/blender?

[nimble ridge]

its really wierd i placed world particles on my head and it works I placed it on my rifle and it goes crazy

i made a fling ghost not long ago i just lifted the caracter from the 0 0 0 point on y and made the legs bigger witout weight paint

[tropic steppe]

did you lift it in blender or unity?

[nimble ridge]

but im preety sure you can make an animation owerite

blender

in unity the new avatar descriptor ignors coordonates now witch is awesome no more 0ing the avatar

[tropic steppe]

I wanna make a small avatar and make it fly and the only animation would be wings if it had them

[pulsar heron]

@nimble ridge Oh sorry didnt see that you answered me

Im basically doing a custom animation override

[nimble ridge]

i never worked with animations that are always on before idk if you can import the character from blender with that animation directly...

[pulsar heron]

i edited a mixamo animation to make my avatar open its jaw but the jaw doesnt open in VC

only in the preview

of Unity

[nimble ridge]

when you imprt from mixamo make sure to edit the animation to be humanoid (it comes as generic and vrc wont recognise it) and then make a dupe of it

[pulsar heron]

yeah i did that already

the animation works in Unity just fine but not in VC ..

[nimble ridge]

wierd...

[pulsar heron]

indeed

[nimble ridge]

what do you use for the trigger?

[pulsar heron]

what do you mean by trigger?

its not VR, its desktop mode. I override an emote from the defaults

[nimble ridge]

oh ok

im at loss

[pulsar heron]

yeah no idea what it is. Thanks anyway

[clear yew]

So, uh, is there any way to replace walking animations in VRC? Or override them?

Google isn't bringing up much that's reliable.

[nimble ridge]

try replacing walkfwd to a custom one

[clear yew]

I should mention I've never played with animations in Unity before. I have some VMD files, but I don't know where I'd implement them.

[stray gulch]

@clear yew im doing one right now with a vmd

[clear yew]

Really? How'd you do it, if you don't mind showing?

[wicked crown]

Out of curiosity is there away to do an animation override that is a toggle, rather than having to maintain the hand gesture?

[nimble ridge]

from what i know no but im not sure maybe theres a trick

[wicked crown]

same from what i know no but you never know some crazy person might know how

[storm cape]

hey.. anyone here expereinced with 2d visemenes?

[stray gulch]

anyone here might know why my motion data isnt transfering from blender to unity?

[clear yew]

I have a question... When i move in VRChat with my HTC Vive, sometimes my avatar will pull out the animation i made for some reason. For example: If i do the Victory sign, my anmiation is going to be played. But also when i just want to turn to the right, sometimes the animation is played also... is this normal? Which is realy annoying if i just want to move and dont want to use my animation... any ideas?

[kindred jay]

this currently my issue with walking, running animation. The custom animation i got from mixamo is suppose to be more in ground but wat happends in game i kinda floats and the animation is 'paused'

[nimble ridge]

@kindred jay is your mixamo animation set to humanoid?

[floral island]

Sorry for re-asking this but if you want to do an animation override for one of the emotes, you have to stand your model up from that bent pose right? and it has to be the length of the animation?

[nimble ridge]

well i guess is my time to ask a question:
is there a way to put a vmd animation on a fbx character with a humanoid rig

[unique night]

which emote slot is dance and die?

[nimble ridge]

@floral island i think its around 100 frames and i dont think you need to take him from the bent pose as long as its set to humanoid

[floral island]

oh really? What if that emote has leg movement? @nimble ridge

[nimble ridge]

5 is dance from what i remember

[floral island]

Thats awesome if thats the case though. And each timestamp in unity is a frame right?

[nimble ridge]

i have animations with leg movment and it didnt cause any problems

depends on the frame rate you set

but normaly yes

[floral island]

Cool. Oh yeah that makes sense

[kindred jay]

@nimble ridge yes its set to humanoid

[nimble ridge]

if your eyes have bones you can change the rotation in a animaion

@kindred jay hmm... thats wierd

do other animations work?

[kindred jay]

just the dance but the other seams so far not work that much

[nova chasm]

https://media.giphy.com/media/3o752etcaSsNS1xoNW/giphy.gif

like wtf help

[kindred jay]

Have tried to figure out wat the cause could be.

[nimble ridge]

brb

@nova chasm before i go , use automatic weight its easier and than just edit smat thinghs with the brush

[stray gulch]

@nova chasm did you check the auto normile check box under mmd tools?

@nova chasm auto Normilize

[nova chasm]

yup

plus this

no vertex weight data

no deform data

[kindred jay]

I just found a way to solve the idle animation.

[stray gulch]

anyone know why motion data might not transfer to unity?

[kindred jay]

this is how i solved from the idle animation from freezing. Gonna test the others see if works too

[nimble ridge]

im back

[kindred jay]

wb

[nimble ridge]

hmm i havent chekt those and it still worked : P unity is wierd sometimes

[gusty crow]

is there a way to have the camera follow your character when you do an emote because I have an emote that has the character behind the original start point.

[kindred jay]

@lapis frost you might try this

@nimble ridge it sure is

[nimble ridge]

@gusty crow i dont think so ...

does anyone know how to convert vmd to motion data for humanoid rig

[kindred jay]

hmm got the animation works haha now just find a way to make the character with the animation not to float in air

[gusty crow]

@nimble ridge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUSe5uDLSJM&t=494s

[ancient topaz]

can't get the mouth movement working 😦

[gusty crow]

Another question. An emote I put on my character(s) has them start from a different spot (due to putting all the based upon settings to original and bake into pose) then has them move away. (this should happen) But how do I make it so the emote starts at my location then has them move with the emote?

[nimble ridge]

Thanks sorry for not responding but the video crashed my discord lol

[gusty crow]

lmao

[iron tusk]

Hey guys, I am currently working on an Emote with Sound but whenever I try the emote ingame the Sound is sooo low. Somebody an idea how to fix that?

[nimble ridge]

@iron tusk whats the volume set to in the editor and your ingame fx seting?

[iron tusk]

Ingame fx are set to max. Other people cannot hear the sound either. I put the volume to 0.1 and stacked the soundfile cause someone said, that might fix the problem

[nimble ridge]

0.1 issquite low try 0.3

[iron tusk]

I already tried 1

[nimble ridge]

and what setting do you have for rolloff

[iron tusk]

linear

The Sound itself is quiet loud (its a rocket start)

[nimble ridge]

🤔

[iron tusk]

And its weird that the sound doesnt get louder when I set it to 0.5

in Unity it already rapes my ears when it is on that volume

[nimble ridge]

can you send a pic of all the setings and position of the emmiter

[iron tusk]

On it

https://puu.sh/z1r2d/5b74f80d94.png

[upbeat field]

For some reason my custom emotes seem to loop like, ten times. They're only a few seconds long. Anyone got any ideas on how to make it only do it the once?

[iron tusk]

Whats the Settings for the emote?

[nimble ridge]

Brb

[iron tusk]

okok

[upbeat field]

I have it as a looped pose. is that why?

[iron tusk]

Yep

Untick Loop Pose

and put cycle offset to 0

this way it should only play once

[upbeat field]

Got it. Thanks.<3

[iron tusk]

No problem. Wish somebody could help me with my problem too

[upbeat field]

I'm no expert (self-taught in like two days) but what's up?

[iron tusk]

Problem is up there

[upbeat field]

Ah. Hmm.

I haven't started that work yet. I was gonna work on that later though.

[nimble ridge]

ok im back

[iron tusk]

You will have the same problem my dude

Wb

[nimble ridge]

well lets see

what setings do you have on the onsp script?

[iron tusk]

https://puu.sh/z1rn2/664926e64f.png

[nimble ridge]

what do you use for the trigger

[iron tusk]

It is set on "Play on Awake" So I make the Sound Object "awake" when the emote starts

[nimble ridge]

ill try replicate it and test it in game

[iron tusk]

Okay

[gusty crow]

Any of yall know how to make the emote start on your original spot instead of anywhere else it starts

[ancient topaz]

idk :3

[nimble ridge]

hmmm ok thats wierd i cant hear it either

@iron tusk it might be from the update they pushed not long ago all my avatars are super quiet now : /

[fluid light]

can someone help me

i have this mixamo animation but my fingers are messed up

in the animation

[tropic steppe]

Anyone know how to make small avatars fly instead of the default walking?

[fluid light]

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

[upbeat field]

You could have an animation override that just shows a floating animation rather than a walking one

[fluid light]

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

@upbeat field do you know of a fix for my animation?

[upbeat field]

If you have a floating animation in place, just use it as an override.

[fluid light]

i need help with my fingers during the mixam oanimation

[tropic steppe]

So like shape key?

[ancient topaz]

Help 😛 what would u guys set

[upbeat field]

I closed my unity thingy but you need a copy of the SampleAvatarTemplate thing from the SDVK folder.

When you click on it in UNity, a list of places to override animations comes up on the right hand side

[amber pollen]

.anm files don't work with unity, fml

is there a way to remove objects for when you're sitting?

[tropic steppe]

I wanna make a small avatar hover, so do I make a shapekey of what it would look like when its hovering? Go into unity with it and make an animation with it and loop it than put it as an override for walking?

[upbeat field]

You'd probably have to do the animation in Blender

Or maybe Mixamo has one if you import it there.

[tropic steppe]

ok, i was thinking along the lines of how blinking is done with blendshapes

[upbeat field]

You could do it as the idle animation too so you'll always be floating.

[ancient topaz]

uhm

i need sum help

trying to fix the mouth movement atm doing viseme blend shape with the face on face mesh, but it only moves my lips.

[kindred jay]

does any one know how to fix walking animations not to float mid air?

[ancient topaz]

shape keys for teeth are induvidual , not the same as lips

[amber pollen]

is there no way to remove an item for sitting animation?

[fading solar]

is there a disintegration effect on unity ?

[split onyx]

is it normal that my weapon doesn't show up on a mirror while it's in my hand?

[wispy thorn]

Under what category

does that standing posture go?

in Mixamo, if I can get one like that

[iron tusk]

T_Pose

[wispy thorn]

The left one

not the right one

[iron tusk]

No idea

[amber pollen]

ok, if there's an object in front of me that's part of the model, is there a way to remove it for when you sit down?

[wary goblet]

I've seen some avatars out there who are able to draw with their hands/pens. Is there any tutorial on how to do that?

[upbeat field]

If you go into the presentation room you can do that

[wary goblet]

Sure, but I've seen avatars do it without presentation room pens

[clear yew]

Hi, how to do or where to find animated textures like rainbow all over the model?

[obsidian vigil]

Is it possible to attach an item so an avatar can like throw it?

[amber pollen]

so, no one know how to remove objects from a model for specific animations?

[kindred jay]

I have no clue but eventualy some one can help you

[high summit]

@split onyx Don't know if anyone ever answered you but, yes. Weapons and other animations don't appear in mirrors

[clear yew]

Anyone know how to stop an emote overide animation from playing over and over again? keep getting stuck

can some one help me with dynamics bones? i configure some physics but when i test in game arent like unity

[marsh tide]

Alright! Fixed my shaders, on to animations. Noen of the ones I generated and are working in Unity, will display in VRChat. basic tutorial for this issue?

[whole granite]

http://prntscr.com/i0dqfs How do you fix it so when I do "openhand" it doesnt change to what the hands are in the animator?

[wintry matrix]

@amber pollen the way VRC handles heads .. SEEMS to take anything on the head bone/capture and scale it to zero. If the objects blocking your view aren't part of that bone setup, it may stay in place and block the view. Another workaround is to move your VRC head position ahead on Z axis a bit so its out of the way.

[split onyx]

@high summit Ty for answering i was spending a lot of time redoing everything lol

[wintry matrix]

the AFK rig with VRC has that issue

[amber pollen]

@wintry matrix i mean, i wanna use DJ Sona as my avatar, Idk if i can remove her disc jokey for when i'm sitting

[wintry matrix]

You.. could use an animation override that toggles the visiblity of that mesh group

eg. have her DJ hardware toggle on and off with a emote witch or some other method

actually emote may not work....

liuke you can look at how people are doing guns/rifle props and treat it like that

[clear yew]

I'm attempting to give my character a sword for use in vr, however no right hand exists. is there anything I can do?

[cobalt flicker]

but it on the left

[clear yew]

left hand doesn't exist

[sullen hill]

Anyone know how to stop the blinking animation when doing a custom animation override gesture?

Like I have an gesture that closes the eyes, but then the closed eyes will still blink while closed

[clear yew]

how is that even possible?

Blinking with closed eyes?

[wintry matrix]

It probably exists its called something else

[sullen hill]

The eyes will be closed, but then they will stretch even further down as if they were blinking

[clear yew]

oh

[wintry matrix]

eg. chest being spine 3 or LLeg being LUpperLeg or someone calling a hand a palm or wrist or something

naming conventions aren't uniform unless the author does it.

[clear yew]

so would I put the sword on wrist? No right hand exists

[wintry matrix]

ignore the name for a second

is there a joint/bone on the hand area

[clear yew]

I'll go check

[wintry matrix]

select it and figure out what is it called

use whatever its called instead..

[clear yew]

how do you check bones? I haven't done it in a while

[wintry matrix]

Load it up in your 3d software and use the equilvent of an outliner [object scene list] to look for it

or click on the bone in the viewport

[clear yew]

viewport?

[wintry matrix]

3d preview window same thing

[clear yew]

oh

@wintry matrix this?

[thorny fox]

hello

how do I add a particle effect to my animation?

[clear yew]

hi

[thorny fox]

That is to say, how do i make it "appear" in my animation

[clear yew]

someone who knows will come eventually

[wintry matrix]

So whoever built that rig just called their hand bone a wrist bone

[clear yew]

grab some popcorn or chips

whoever built it is also a idiot?

[thorny fox]

objects work as per tutorials found online but when it comes to particle systems, it is always shown as invisible 😦

[wintry matrix]

Mixamo sword rig example

[clear yew]

scale may be to big, color may be a clear white etc boop

can that thing be used in vr?

[thorny fox]

nono it works perfectly in size and color in simulation mode

[wintry matrix]

For example that's the 2H sword rig from mixamo.. all they did there was added an extra sword bone and parented it to the hand/wrist joint.

[clear yew]

waot

wait

would that work with unity for vr?

[thorny fox]

i could never get the mixamo animations to work... i wonder if its because I deleted some parts in the rig

[wintry matrix]

@tacit gorge that's usually the case

@tacit gorge you have to take your rigs upload it to mixamo and apply it to mixamo then bring it back to unity and make sure unity maps things correctly then the motion files will work

Rig example

so once you get your rigs built

upload the fbx to mixamo to see if it can map the motion

[clear yew]

for some reason dynamic bone isnt lineing up with the body, can anyone help?

[wintry matrix]

shaders fucked up but whatever

[thorny fox]

no experience here with dynamic bone, @clear yew you got any experience with particle effects in vrchat?

[wintry matrix]

if it works in mixamo, it'll set the motion to your rig then redownload it, then process in unity.

[clear yew]

nope nun

big?

[thorny fox]

danm

[clear yew]

how much do you think is needed for adding a sword with unity for vr use?

[wintry matrix]

The problem I get with mixamo is dropped keyframes with anything to do with the feet once it goes from Unity to VRC.. I'm not sure if they're doing client side resampling or something is going on with how they are doing feet.

[thorny fox]

eto not much there is a tutorial on that

[wintry matrix]

Eta96: should be pretty easy.. just create an interactive object..

heres a tutorial..

[clear yew]

ok

yea I need the sword for those knuckles

they keep harassing my friend -_-

Lets hope the sword works

[wintry matrix]

Shit

[clear yew]

what?

[wintry matrix]

I had it bookmarked but its gone

[clear yew]

ooof

oooooooof

[wintry matrix]

you had to add a vrc component to it

Its on my to do list but it shouldn't be that hard, you just build the sword as part of your rig, and have a visibility toggle for it somehow in theory.

[clear yew]

ok

I found a tutorial but I don't know if it works. do you want the link?

[plush meadow]

https://youtu.be/pC6sW4kJwa8

Works for if you want at static prop with no particle effects.

[thorny fox]

@plush meadow do you know anything about animating particle systems?

[clear yew]

static = still?

[plush meadow]

Static as in no gun shot, muzzle flash, etc.

Jus that you can draw your weapon.

A bit. @thorny fox

In regards to guns.

[thorny fox]

how do you have said particle system show up in the animation? all i can do is make it show up in simulation mode

assuming you use bullets that must mean you did something to show them firing off

[plush meadow]

Well first, you have to make a particle system for the main model.

[thorny fox]

which i did

[plush meadow]

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

So it doesn't show when you trigger animation?

[thorny fox]

yea

but this is in regards of emotes

[plush meadow]

No experience with emotes.

Only gestures.

[thorny fox]

if im looking at your gun... you arent holding a gun and then having the option to fire right?

[plush meadow]

I'd feel that emotes are dealt with differently.

I have to animations.

One where I draw the gun.

The other shoots.

Handgun gesture is draw gun, thumbs up is fire.

[wintry matrix]

oh so its two emotes they are chaining.. thats how that gag works

[thorny fox]

you didn't play with any event creations right?

nono emotes are different from gestures

[plush meadow]

It's two separate animations.

[wintry matrix]

oh right gestures are triggered from the touch pads?

[clear yew]

can someone help me line up dynamic bone with the body please

[spare bramble]

so out of curiousity when making a blade for example a katana on a character how to do make it so its in the sheath when not out then out the sheath and in your hand (sheath still on waist) would this involve multiple animations?

[severe sierra]

@clear yew Add the Dynamic bone component to the head bone, not your avatar mesh

@spare bramble Just make sure the sheathe and sword are their own meshes, then just hide the sword in the sheathe when you do a gesture and make it appear in your hand

You will need 2 meshes for the sword, one with it in the sheathe and one with it in your hand and just hide the one in your hand by default

[clear yew]

@severe sierra i did what you said and it didnt work

[severe sierra]

pic?

[clear yew]

see

[severe sierra]

weird

[clear yew]

i know

[thorny fox]

hey brightside any experience with particle systems in animation?

[severe sierra]

a little

[thorny fox]

in emotes*

[severe sierra]

a little

[thorny fox]

how do i get them to show up in the animations?

they are always invisible, i wonder if i have to turn on/enable something for them in the animation

[severe sierra]

you just have to "unihide" them

[thorny fox]

omg the intro to this video is obnoxiously loud

[severe sierra]

I have a titanfall animation I made for an emote override for some of my titan avatars

all I did is just unhide them

[thorny fox]

oht hats objects

i couldnt get that let alone my particle system to show up in the animate tab

even after i put the particle system in my avatar

[severe sierra]

@wintry matrix how do I save a animation?

[thorny fox]

its save automatically

assuming you created the animation file

[clear yew]

where?

yea, I made it but i'm not sure where it is at

[thorny fox]

well when you click animate, it gave you a directory..

ah 😦

[clear yew]

oof

[thorny fox]

:x

[remote onyx]

@ancient topaz oh you arent

those are for lip synch

Im super late so you may have fixed this

[clear yew]

@thorny fox so

how do I save it?

[thorny fox]

i cant help you there if you dontk now where it is

but google will know!

[fallen rampart]

hehe

[clear yew]

is that a indirect way of saying you don't know?

[thorny fox]

google must know how to save animation

yup

[clear yew]

oh lol

[fallen rampart]

it saves automatically

you make a copy of your avatar

[thorny fox]

yes but he doesnt know WHERE

[fallen rampart]

you click new animation

you make the animation

the animation file goes in the same directory as the asset you copied lives

[thorny fox]

not always

[clear yew]

yea

look\

[fallen rampart]

well, depends how you imported it

so where is your avatar

[thorny fox]

i had my animation saved in w.e directionary i selected in projects 😦

[fallen rampart]

which oine of those folders

[clear yew]

third file

from left to right

[fallen rampart]

it'll be in there

[thorny fox]

hopefully*

[fallen rampart]

if it's an FBX animation

it'll be tied to the asset

[thorny fox]

eto if you know the name of your file

[fallen rampart]

(the prefab)

[thorny fox]

just go to the project folder

and search the name of it

[clear yew]

ok

[fallen rampart]

woo!

the feels when your animations have so many keyframes they're a black line.

[clear yew]

oof

[fallen rampart]

mocap.

[sullen hill]

Can someone tell me how to save changes to an animation override?

[fallen rampart]

you mean apply it to your avatar?

[clear yew]

oof

[sullen hill]

Nah, I made an animation and finished, but I went back to add some expressions to it but it doesn't reflect the changes when I press the play button

[fallen rampart]

check to see if the values got reset when you changed them

you can click the animation file and stick an avatar on the right to play it on too

[clear yew]

prime tutorial eh?

[fallen rampart]

lol those are easy to fix

[clear yew]

Ok

[fallen rampart]

click your avatar in the scene

click select, top right

go to rig

[clear yew]

k

on rig

[fallen rampart]

change to humanoid, click configure

[clear yew]

uh

[fallen rampart]

well, apply first

[clear yew]

it is on humanoid

[fallen rampart]

okay, then you broke your prefab

[clear yew]

:/ hard to fix?

[fallen rampart]

if your root node isn't blue

no, bring in the fbx into the scene again

and copy the components you added back to it

then delete the origial

make sure not to change the order of the bones outside of the tree

[clear yew]

components = sword descriptor etc?

[fallen rampart]

anything youve added, yeah

but your prefab can't have non-blue bones

if those are black you've broken the prefab

you can move things like lefthip and righthip in my example above to any posistion (which matters for vrchat)_

but you can't move them outside of hipsmaster for example

that'll break the prefab

then the avatar descriper just needs things to be childed properly

[clear yew]

childed?

[fallen rampart]

it doesn't care about the bone order as much

meaning hips are the next branch above spine, and torso is the one after spine, and neck after that, then head, then eyes

[clear yew]

ok

[fallen rampart]

so when you expand them they "tree out" like folders

[clear yew]

so for this sword, just drag and drop to new fbx?

That hand alignment had taken a while

[fallen rampart]

your animation shoul dhave the movements

and it'll still work. all it's doing is transforming the bones into posistion

[clear yew]

good to go?

[fallen rampart]

you added an avatar descriptor to a seperate fbx object

you probably don't want that

[sullen hill]

@fallen rampart Do you leave looptime on for your animation overrides that are just expressions?

[clear yew]

Ok

so do I need to have the sword under right wrist again?

[fallen rampart]

eto: dragonblade is not an avatar, you need to make it part of your character and hide and show it when you want to pull it out

[clear yew]

how?

its part of the emote thing already

[fallen rampart]

@sullen hill an expression like a gesture override should be at the value you want it to be on frame 0 and frame 1 (so if the transform value was 100 as a blendshape, put that in both)

@clear yew in your fbx is there a seperate mesh for the dragonblade you can manipulate that is part of the prefab?

or at least seperate bones?>

[clear yew]

yea

what is that? I have the model in the avatars hand already

[sullen hill]

@fallen rampart frame keys are good to go. Just wondering if the boxes on the right need to be checked or not

thanks for the help btw

[fallen rampart]

yeah but is that fbx part of your avatar

@sullen hill you actually need to click the thing in the top right next to the lock

turn on debug

click "legacy"

and make it loop

I think - that might just be for blinking

give it sa shot

[sullen hill]

Ah okay. This goes for any gesture override?

[next obsidian]

why is trying to use the colliders on a skirt is such a pain, can someone help me? I have no idea of where to put them

[sullen hill]

ty

[clear yew]

where is debug?

[sullen hill]

@clear yew Click on that corner button and Debug should be in the options listed

[clear yew]

Ok

turned on it

[sullen hill]

Just make sure to turn it off when youre done

[clear yew]

uh

regarding the sword..what do I do next?

[sullen hill]

@next obsidian Colliders are unreliable, especially with long skirts... it'll prob clip anyways

[clear yew]

@sullen hill ?

[sullen hill]

Oh uh, i'm not sure where you're at with that lol

wasn't paying attention to what you and Lhun were talking about

[clear yew]

do you want to screen share?

[sullen hill]

im gonna take a quick look at the message log and see if i can give you a quick answer. im still working on my own avatar

[clear yew]

ok

[sullen hill]

so youre just trying to add a sword as a gesture override?

[clear yew]

yea

if thats the thing that will let me use the sword in vr

[sullen hill]

yup. So I watched this quick tutorial - it goes over all the steps on how to add a prop to your character https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0l4-pH3vI4&t=426s

[clear yew]

ok

the prop is usable in vr?

[marble pollen]

what do you mean by that?

[clear yew]

I can pull it out and what not

swing it etc

[marble pollen]

yeah

[sullen hill]

Yes, the tutorial will show you how to make it come out if you do a certain gesture

[next obsidian]

then fuck the colliders, I hope they fix it

[abstract current]

Is ther a way to like change models or form when you pull an object out?

[clear yew]

how long does it take for this to be gone?

oof

also how do I exit playmode?

[abstract current]

have to press play button on top and re upload

[clear yew]

thx\

ffs

it keeps sending me to play mode when I try to upload from control panel

[amber pollen]

@abstract current i have a similar question but its to remove excess objects for sitting

[clear yew]

@sullen hill

[sullen hill]

@clear yew when you hit build and publish, it will send you to play mode

[clear yew]

Yea

[sullen hill]

under the game tab, you need to check and hit the upload button

then itll upload your avatar and take you back out of play mode

[stray gulch]

anyone know why my motion data wont transfer with my model into unity?

[sullen hill]

i have no clue what motion data is lol

[clear yew]

where is upload under game?

[stray gulch]

@sullen hill its a vmd you can download to make your avatar dance and stuff

@sullen hill "vmd"

[sullen hill]

@clear yew you don't get this screen when you hit Build and Publish?

[clear yew]

nope

turns on play mode and then just sits there

oof

turns on play mode and then just sits there

[sullen hill]

what messages lol

[clear yew]

oof

lag

turns on play mode and then just sits there

[outer lake]

i know this channels for Animation stuff only but no other channels besides a few will even load..

[sullen hill]

Under VRChat SDK menu, go to settings and uncheck Future Proof Publish

[jade kraken]

do you like, NEED VR to be able to do custom animations that spawn in things?

[sullen hill]

then try Build and Publish

[jade kraken]

do you like, NEED VR to be able to do custom animations that spawn in things?

[sullen hill]

There might be server issues... My messages are coming up as red too

[jade kraken]

do you like, NEED VR to be able to do custom animations that spawn in things?

[sullen hill]

@clear yew

It should automatically take you to that Update Avatar screen when you hit Build and Publish

[clear yew]

it doesnt

rip

[sullen hill]

did you uncheck Future Proof Publish?

[clear yew]

how do I check?

[sullen hill]

Under VRChat SDK menu, go to settings and uncheck Future Proof Publish
then try Build and Publish

sorry, I guess when my messages show up as red, they don't send

[clear yew]

it had been selected

yeah, same had happened to me a few minutes ago

[jade kraken]

do i absolutely NEED VR to be able to make a custom animation that spawns in objects?

[sullen hill]

@clear yew try unchecking it then Build and Publish

[clear yew]

ok

so

[sullen hill]

@jade kraken yeah probably, unless there's another way to do that stuff other than Custom Animation Overrides

[clear yew]

last question about swords, I would make a fist then the sword would be visible as long as my hand is making a fist?

[marble pollen]

if you have the animation set to the fist

[clear yew]

It is

[sullen hill]

Yes, if you override the FIST animation with the sword animation you created. And make sure you place the Animation Override component into your avatar VRC

[clear yew]

aaaand

still brought me to play mode

classic vrchat

any ideas? ;l

@sullen hill

[sullen hill]

Seems to be a Unity issue? Not sure

maybe wait a few minutes when it takes you to play mode

[clear yew]

ok

totally not frustrated ya know?

[jaunty ermine]

When making a custom finger animation, how can I make it change the materials used for my model?

like everything to one new material

[sullen hill]

@jaunty ermine like you do a gesture and it'll change your model's material?

[jaunty ermine]

yes

[exotic ember]

Would anyone be able to help identify why im having this sound error? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jWRo0brlBE

[sullen hill]

way above my current knowledge lol

same with sounds

[jaunty ermine]

but it would be an animation property correct?

[sullen hill]

maybe? i'd have to look

@jaunty ermine best workaround I can think of is to have two of the same mesh in the armature, both with different mats. Hide the extra mat, then enable it in the animation and disable the original

[unkempt spruce]

how long can i have an animation

[marble pollen]

Hey what is a good video to learn how to make a gun fire?

i dont really know how to use particles at all

[civic oracle]

Does anyone know how to make a mesh appear on a timer?

I could do it by having it appear later in the animation, but I wonder if that breaks the override

[amber pollen]

i want to animate my avatar but idk how (wanna make her float first)

how do i make a character levitate?

[clear yew]

Anyone here who has good experience with unity/animations?

[amber pollen]

is there a way to animate an avatar that can levitate?

[thorny fox]

hii anyone here good with particle systems in animation?

[amber pollen]

are you able to import .anm files into unity?

[daring frigate]

i'm trying to use trails for my particle system ( for a gun shoot) but the trail never start at the start position of the particle but only at a random delay after. does anyone know how to fix this ?

[spare bramble]

@amber pollen yes you can import .anim files into unity via the import asset button should go in without issue

[amber pollen]

wait

are .anim and .anm the same?

i guess so

[spare bramble]

i am under the impression they are the same they are both animation files types

[amber pollen]

...

apparently not

[junior epoch]

I see a lot of people with some animations that arnt from Miaxmo. Are they getting them from another place, possibly the unity asset store?

[finite inlet]

or they're making the animations themselves

[amber pollen]

@spare bramble the actual folder has .anm files

[junior epoch]

I do see people using the same animations though

so maybe there sharing them amongst themselves

[amber pollen]

unity does not work with .anm files

[unkempt spruce]

okay i got an animation working but its too fast how do i slow it down

[gusty pawn]

I have a Mega Man X MMD model and it has a shape key to form his Buster on his right arm but the hand just kinda juts out still. Wanna see if I can hide that inside the Buster while it's out. I'm trying to map it to the trackpad so I can just change the lil devil horns finger emote to make it so his hand vanishes and the Buster forms.

This is what it SHOULD look like.Got this by rotating his hand inside and demolishing a few of his fingers to fenangle them inside. Tested it in game though and it just doesn't work. I just get a mangled hand. Is there a way to properly shove his hand inside there and/or possibly shrink it inside? Or is there another way, like, turning the right hand invisible during that animation or something?

[haughty spindle]

Anyone have muscle animation editor laying around?

[unkempt spruce]

how do i slow this down

[dense radish]

Can I somehow edit mixamo animations? So like sword pops up in my hand

[tidal zodiac]

gang ang

[sharp nova]

hello, so yesterday i saw an animation/emote (idk which one) of someone being able to reach into another persons clothing and get a cookie out, how am i able to do something like that where i can reach into someone's clothing and get an item out?

[hot orbit]

Does anyone here know how to add Snail markers to your avatar?

[candid light]

what are snail markers? if you mean like something dragging behind you I assume you just generate particles that take awhile to disappear

constantly

or at least that would be one way to do it

[gusty crow]

Quick question, do you have to set the Based Upon to original on emotes to make them move around?

Or does bake into pose do that?

[stoic harbor]

hmm.. noob question, I wish to start animating but i keep seeing Blendshapes, what is blendshapes and how to port this into unity?

[paper haven]

@candid light Snails markers are a prefab set of markers that use trail renderer but also allow you to erase all with a seperate animation, pretty nice

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi7i4sF_BgQ&feature=youtu.be

[exotic ember]

Im so fucking annoyed

[candid light]

@paper haven cool, i don't know what a trail renderer is but the effect is cool

[paper haven]

It's a similia system to use particles to draw

but in unity by default, I use it

[exotic ember]

why the fuck is my audio source fucking up in this clip

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jWRo0brlBE

[candid light]

okay, a question, is there any way for me to move my character around during an animation i'm playing

[muted shoal]

How do I add the extra/replacement emotes to my avatars? I saw some have like, dab, different dances, ect?

[candid light]

rephrased question, if I had an object on me, and I had an animation involving it, could I then move around while the objects animation played

assuming the animation doesn't actually involve my avatars body or armature

and assuming the animation is like say, longer than 2 frames, maybe even several seconds long

[spark shard]

Anyone know if there's a way to set player position in an animation without making dynamic bone flip out ingame?

[coral copper]

Hey I'm trying to make a new animation but I can't seem to find the button as it just shows a shit ton of keyframes..

[ivory lagoon]

my model has a mouth but i can't find it in the blender or unity file

i don't know how

[clear yew]

When i do my emotes i want have made it so my head turns in the animation is there a way to disable this so it does it in vrchat with the head movements instead of keeping in stationary

[unique ferry]

Question if anyone can answer- sorry if i'm interrupting anyone.
Basically I downloaded a Pokemon character from Sun and Moon, and it already has pre-made animations
I was wondering if there would be a way to apply the SMD Animations to the character emotes and override them?
I'm sure there's a way, the problem is I'm not exactly sure. Maybe something to do with Blender?

Again, sorry if i interrupted anyone else's problems
I would attempt to help but I'm somewhat inexperienced with model animation

@muted shoal Also, not sure if this is exactly what you were asking, but if you haven't seen this, maybe it will help?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxSezH13vAI&t=89s

[daring frigate]

does anyone know if you can put a delay on an audio source ? like playing the sound 1s after the object is active ?

[stuck zealot]

@unique ferry you can override the default animations in unity with a "CustomOverride" which you can find in you assets if you search for them

[unique ferry]

Ah- so smd files can actually just override the emotes?

[split onyx]

I have a gun with audio but it keeps looping and my hand remains stuck in the gesture that i use for it, how can i solve this?

[ivory lagoon]

my model has a mouth and i can't find it in the blender or unity file

[stuck zealot]

dunno if they fit but animations in unity can, never seen smd thingies ^^

[ivory lagoon]

i want to get rid of it or move it

[unique ferry]

Thanks anyways- i'll give it a go

Also goku, can you send a screenshot?

[ivory lagoon]

yeah, one sec

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/378761490599116800/401519951967420416/unknown.png

but it's nowhere in the unity or blender file... xD

[unique ferry]

Huh. that's really strange, because I was about to just say I just open up everything and look closely lol

are you trying to get lip sync?

[ivory lagoon]

this model's super weird, i converted it from xps to blender fine but the parts are named all strange and the mouth is no where in the unity/blender file

but it shows up in game and I have no idea why

[unique ferry]

Huh, that's odd.

[ivory lagoon]

anywhere specific I should look?

i checked the mesh in unity

he doesn't have a mouth modeled in his model either which is confusing me

[unique ferry]

Wait, click on your model
If you have the vrc avatar descriptor, and there's an auto detect button for lip syncing which could possibly relate to the mouth, maybe?
I have actually no idea

[unique ferry]

Did anything happen when you clicked auto detect?

[ivory lagoon]

YES here

[unique ferry]

Oh, something showed up?

Ahh. So that probably means

that's where the mouth is

the jaw bone part

So if you go back to your model and open everything up on the left side, you could probably search for it that way maybe

[ivory lagoon]

if i wanted to move the mouth up more towards the mustache i'd do that in blender, right?

[unique ferry]

Well,

in unity when I click on something, I get the option to move it up, down, or to the side
i haven't tested it because i'm afraid of ruining it lol, but i'm not sure if it will do anything or not.

but if you have blender experience that would probably just work too

Unfortunately I never really used blender that much, though

[ivory lagoon]

it makes his beard smaller when I do that, maybe I should try blender'

[unique ferry]

When you click on it?

Or when you move it

[ivory lagoon]

when i move it ;;

[unique ferry]

Ohhh. Duh lol i'm dumb
Yeah, that sounds like the best option at this point

[unique ferry]

Ohhh

[ivory lagoon]

so there's his mouth...? xD

[unique ferry]

I feel like that just pushed it back

Did you move it with the blue arrow?

[ivory lagoon]

with the yellow one

[unique ferry]

I would actually ask to see the model myself, but I'm already caught up in something myself haha

But yeah, you could probably edit it in blender i assume

[ivory lagoon]

i could send screenshots if you need!

[unique ferry]

I also have no idea how Master Roshi's mouth works, but I hope you figure it out

Oh-

yeah sure

[ivory lagoon]

YEAH i don't either omg this model is strange

[unique ferry]

What does it do in-game again? you said it just appears in game but you couldn't see it in unity right?

[ivory lagoon]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/378761490599116800/401519951967420416/unknown.png

yeah, i can't see it in unity

is his beard too far back maybe? why is his chin modelled like a mouth

[unique ferry]

Yeah- my assumption is that the model wasn't meant for lip sync or something like vr chat
which is why they just modeled it that way or something

[ivory lagoon]

aaaahhh i gotcha, so maybe I should just move his beard forward a bit?

[unique ferry]

You could- maybe that would cover up his chin in the game.

[ivory lagoon]

omg hopefully that works, thank you, i don't know why it was doing that

[unique ferry]

Np, I hope something works out for you/you figure something out

[ivory lagoon]

i moved the bone in unity and now it's not detecting

i mean blender

does that mean there's no lip sync

(that's what i wanted so i'm happy if there's not)

[unique ferry]

Yeah, probably
Because like, all it did was appear in vr chat right? it didn't appear when you spoke or anything?

[ivory lagoon]

it sort of jutted out when i spoke xD

[unique ferry]

Ohhh

Well, try it out and see
hopefully it could be covered up now thanks to the bone being moved

[next obsidian]

Someone knows if anybody created something more usefyll that the colliders? because they don't work with long skirts, they bug even more

[peak plinth]

Does anyone have any emote animations that theyre okay with sharing?

I have no idea how to make custom animations so if anyone has some theyre cool with sharing id really appreciate it

[clear yew]

attaching files has been disabled in this channel from now going forward

[peak plinth]

that is too bad, you can always private send pics when getting help i guess

[drifting coral]

Is it possible to attach model when using emote button on the menu ?

Last time i tried, the whole body just freezed

Except hands and head

[clear yew]

This is done as a security measure. You can still link to pics via imgur or similar service.

[unique ferry]

So links work, right?

Gotcha.

[warm fiber]

is it possible to make a togglable emote? like i press a button and i play an audio, but when i press it again it turns off?

[unique ferry]

Oh- I was just about to ask that haha

that would be useful i'd say

[warm fiber]

ouo

it'd allow me to be more involved in vrchat immersion wise as a desktop user

[unique ferry]

Right.
If there isn't, maybe that could be a suggestion to the devs

[warm fiber]

indeed

[amber pollen]

how do i animate capes?

[unique ferry]

Are you trying to make it constantly flowing in a direction?

Or just

Because the farthest i've gotten was just bones haha

[amber pollen]

animate it for running animations

https://gyazo.com/b5f9726e32b420e5fcb0dd85266ab769

trying to find out how to animate this cape

[lime valley]

dynamic bones?

[amber pollen]

the cape doesn't have bones

[wide kindle]

then you cant animate it

you can probably add just a single bonesset down the middle but I'd suggest three at least

[sharp torrent]

Can you add custom running animations to generic type avatars?

[gentle kestrel]

Does anyone has a Muscle Animation Editor that they can share? Thank you.

[toxic hatch]

Guys I imported my MMD model into the game
And i tried adding a walking animation
but the animation looks slow
is there a way to speed it up so it looks more natural?

[wintry matrix]

There's probably a curve/animation timing editor in unity, if not you can adjust in another 3d animation package and reimport it.

[gentle kestrel]

Was that message intended for me? @wintry matrix

[wintry matrix]

I was talking to Leeskii

You'd have to define "Muscle Animation editor" for me as to exactly what you mean..

VRC chat / blender / MMD community has .. different terminology for standard 3d stuff.

Unless muscle deformations are fast enough for real time, it's still in in the realm of film and rendered graphics due to computational overhead and cleanup needed.

But I'm guessing another package its calling something else "muscles"

[marble pollen]

hey can you animate the parameters for shaders with animation overide?

[wintry matrix]

Ok I looked it up.. muscle animation editor is a keyframe/data/curve editor for unity...

so remapping mocap data or adjusting keyframe data.. nothing to do with muscles in the technical scenes but I guess that's what the tool writer named it

[marble pollen]

so does nobody know? lol

[supple pawn]

hi, my custom emote is 8 sec long but it loops for like 2 mins...any advice?
*and yes i uncheck the loop option

[gentle kestrel]

Oh sorry I was taking a shower

Yea Muscle Animation Editor lets you add custom animation to your model in game I believe

[tropic steppe]

Anyone here know how to make small avatars float/fly for thier default idle/walking animation?

Do I just move the avatar up the y axis in unity??

or z axis forgot which one is height

[gentle kestrel]

Yea and add in some flying/floating animation i think

[safe fern]

Sigh. Wish i had vr so i could make use of animation overrides

[pale acorn]

anyone know how to add music to the motion like death emote or something :v

[clear yew]

Im working on hair motions using dynamic bones any suggestions

[lime cove]

do you guys apply Animator to both hands with animation overrides? cause I've seen videos without people adding that

[robust tendon]

I'm having an issue with my avatar bugging through the ground when activating an emote animation, how should I go about fixing this.

[wheat moss]

@clear yew just curious, as i have heard lots of different things. In regards to animations what is the max hidden poly increase count allowed. As I know alot of people including streamers and video makers do not reduce their character tris to account for the additional polys from animation items. So what would be the limit for additional polys added from animations. As technically you could add alot and that could lag the server alot

Good day. Can I some how create activate animation in Unity for humanoid avatar?

[drifting coral]

i've been trying to get this work, but i think no one can see trailrenderer except me ?
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/385545913390727188/402135478146433034/vrchat_pen_test.gif

still trying to get this animation for object and pen right

[sand apex]

Are you sure other people can't see it because I don't think trails show up in the mirror anyways

[manic rapids]

Try camera on avatar Testing for trails.

[pseudo kernel]

did you ask someone if they could see it?

[drifting coral]

well i didnt yet, but i did place some tons of trail in front of em and didnt say anything about it

i think its more like my avatar didnt load for them 🤔

[manic rapids]

oh nay be they dont care)

[drifting coral]

maybe 🤔

well they did talk about my avatar, but its the other avatar i loaded before changing it to the one that has trails

[manic rapids]

Try camers some were. On Avatar Testing world for example.

[sand apex]

just outright ask if they can see it

[manic rapids]

camera

[drifting coral]

i'll try with avatar testing world later

[sand apex]

Also the avatar may get buggy and other people won't be able to see your emotes so you need to do an emote like a backflip to reset yourself

[manic rapids]

Can I some how create activation animation in Unity for humanoid avatar?

[clear yew]

When i try to make an animation for making a weapon visible my character gets stuck in an infinite loop where the visibility of the weapon switches on and off

this also stops me from moving

[drifting coral]

emote in emote menu doesnt seems good for weapon wielding from what i try
thou i only tried it once

[clear yew]

im just trying to just get something i can toggle while not using vr

[drifting coral]

i want to use it too, but cant find the right keyword to check the tutorial for it :/

[lilac grove]

@dawn widget If you scroll the to very far right of the Animation window, there will be keyframes you need to delete I think?

[clear yew]

i did

[lilac grove]

Is your animation for more than one frame too?

[clear yew]

0:00 to 0:01

[lilac grove]

Seems okay -_-

Are those two frames identical?

[clear yew]

yes

exavtly the same

[lilac grove]

I would double check that the second frame isn't turning the visibility off

If not, I'm outta ideas

[sand apex]

Is there a wa to make it so an object like a square is rotating on it's X or Y axis over a certain amount of speed?

[clear yew]

its the same on both frames

[clear yew]

@lilac grove should i jsut try to reupload it?

[lilac grove]

Does it look static when the animation is played in unity?

[clear yew]

no

well yes

i redid the animation and am reuploading it

just to see if i did something wrong

[manic rapids]

i still cant load screenshot. some one can tell me why?

is no plus on my typing zone

[gentle kestrel]

Do you guys know any alternative similar to Muscle Animation Editor out there that is free? Message me by @ because I might not check it by the time you respond

[tawdry crescent]

I added some anims as emotes, but when I do them I get stuck looping the emote
and it won't ever stop

[compact oyster]

Avatar is placed underground during idle animation in Unity. How can I move the avatar up?

[weak tiger]

where i can get animations

[clear yew]

im stuck permanently falling through the ground

on an emote

[manic rapids]

https://yadi.sk/i/hMP_oXS83RTMfp https://yadi.sk/i/LHVtye973RTMfr Ok, how can i call subroot animation from root animator?

[indigo apex]

Anyone have a naruto run animation

[unique ferry]

Oh my god haha I need that

[indigo apex]

Anyone have a naruto run animation if you do .@ me or pm me

[warm cobalt]

Is there anyway I can make an animation run for more than 1 frame?

[wind reef]

Does anyone else experience a weird twitching from dynamic bones when you use the CustomOverride (even if it's empty)?

[celest jackal]

this is my first time doing anything with mixamo, im probably using the worst model for it (a pokemon model) but can someone tell me why the tail is just. absolutely destroying itself?? also ignore the weird gif for some reason my laptop hates gifcam https://puu.sh/z1UvH/9469772628.gif

[chilly topaz]

is there a way to mirror the stock emote animations for my left handed avatar? (moved question to here from avatars channel)

[mental fjord]

im still stuck on how to make my character blink derply

[sand apex]

Do you know how to make a blink anim for that character?

[mental fjord]

yes i know how to make a blink animation

but i cant find blend shapes

and its annoying

[sand apex]

alright then instead of picking the blink shape you need to look for the wink shapes

[mental fjord]

well i cant find blend shapes so nothing i can click atm

[sand apex]

How'd you find blink shape?

[mental fjord]

i cant find blend shapes in general lmao

[sand apex]

Do you know how to create an anim file even?

[mental fjord]

im saying i know how to make the animation just i cant find the blendshapes

like the section for blendshapes aint even there

[sand apex]

you might've decimated the face

[mental fjord]

when i go to add property and go to body or whatev and scroll through no blendshapes are there

[minor pulsar]

If your avatar more than specified verticles or face or maybe split into two body mesh you can't find the blendshapes

[mental fjord]

well the body is all one mesh

[minor pulsar]

Then it might be you decimated the face,if you decimate the face you can't find the blendshape no matter what.

[mental fjord]

welp

i guess i did cause the character had about 48k polys brought down to 20k

and it had barely anything on it

[toxic hatch]

Guys i really need help trying to fix up my walking/running/idle animations, they're all super buggy and i have no idea how to fix it

[sand apex]

Manually decimate next time

[mental fjord]

i did manually decimate but after doing so it left me at around like 21k

[sand apex]

@toxic hatch where'd you get those animations from?

[toxic hatch]

From mixamo

[mental fjord]

guess the 1k it took away was from the face and hands maybe

[toxic hatch]

I duplicated the character overdrive thing from the vrchat sdk

Then I dragged in the thing into my character

and dropped in some of the animations

[sand apex]

Does it look like this? http://prntscr.com/i0klur

[toxic hatch]

For the walking ones?

I ticked loop time

[sand apex]

for all of them

[toxic hatch]

and left root transform rotation

[quartz summit]

I tried replacing an idle animation with a mixamo one (of course) and my body spun around under my head like a top :^)

[toxic hatch]

We must be doing something wrong

xD

[quartz summit]

already rigged as human before the duplicate and set the settings identical to that screenshot

[toxic hatch]

I'm trying to get a crawl animation as the run

But it kinda flies upwards

and looks weird

And i'm super confused on what animation to assign to the right spaces

So it looks really strange when i'm in game

[quartz summit]

I'm figuring out myself the specification of "run" and "sprint"

I've a custom sprint animation in sprint but it doesn't work. It works in run but also messes up my walk animations

While triggering on shift (sprint)

[toxic hatch]

I think you're stuck at the same part as me

I've tried uploading it a few times changing it up

But it's always abit buggy

[sand apex]

It's probably a different setting for animations like those then

[quartz summit]

With a new idle in, the idle plays when i stop moving yet also causes my body to spin around when I walk

[toxic hatch]

Have you figured out how many animations you need by the way to make it walk smoothly?

[quartz summit]

I'd assume you need a full override for the walk animations and an ease into idle

[toxic hatch]

I've got a front walk animation, a back walk animation, a front run animation

[drifting coral]

60 frame per second :X

[quartz summit]

unless it does that automatically

in the controller theres overrides for all strafing so that'd help with jerkiness as well

not understanding my spinning body from an idle animation though

[minor pulsar]

Guys how to make my shot animations as loop?

[fathom plaza]

Anyone know how I get unity to blend the walking to idle animation and vice versa?

[mental fjord]

question

in blender do i need to do that eye tracking thing?

or if im gonna make a derpy animation does that not matter?

@sand apex

anyone??

[sand apex]

It doesn't matter

Just make sure to disable blinking when you create eye tracking

since you're making your own

[mental fjord]

oh okay

@sand apex

sorry for tag but thank you

so much

i had a friend who had so many characters with derpy eyes and i asked him for help and all he said was "its my trademark thing" so ive kinda been off on a limb

[sand apex]

its fine that's what vrchat discord is for

[mental fjord]

thanks again

now im gonna go and make my character retarded

[icy hazel]

there's still that weird vrchat eye crooked bug though right?

where you have to make unity think you have real eyes but you have fake eyebones and real eyebones in there? lol

[languid robin]

[simple aspen]

jsut make a particle effect and turn it on in the animation
