tick bypass effects, volume around 0.1-0.2, doppler level 0, min distance 3, max distance 5, and remove ONSP component
exotic ember
if the volume is fine in game, should I mess with it
regal magnet
Anybody here know a solution to draw multiple figures using the Trail renderer? Or am i limited to 1 line forever.
wispy onyx
Try that, 1.0 volume is way too loud, and since this sound will play whenever you walk you dont want the audio distance to be too far otherwise people will hear you on the other side of the map.
I have my volume on a world audio source set to 0.2 and with my sound effect volume at 70% its still relatively louder than id prefer
exotic ember
I'll double check it in game, if vrchat lets me upload it this time
wispy onyx
Double check what in game? Anything over .3 volume is going to be way too loud for other users
odd junco
Hi i have a sound trigger when do one of my custom gestures for face. How do i add another one to a different sound to other gestures? i tried doing this but it just plays the same sound for all
exotic ember
i've already had it at 1.0 though and asked others if it was too loud and never got anyone saying it was too loud
and I still cant upload so can't test it :<
wispy onyx
@odd junco are you sure you are activating the seperate audio source and not the same one ? haha
@exotic ember no one said it was too loud because your minimum audio distance was set to 0 metres
wispy onyx
Yes, someone would have to be standing on top of you to hear the 1.0 volume
clear yew
Has anyone ever had an issue where you replace an emote with a custom one, but once you use it for the first time in game you're unable to switch out of it to a different emote?
regal magnet
Storm you probably didnt make it 1 frame long
Or you didnt end the animation at all
clear yew
how would one end the animation?
regal magnet
Make a keyframe at 0 for start and 1 for finish
exotic ember
do emotes also have to be one frame long? I thought that was only for gesture overrides
clear yew
ive done a few one frame animations but this is my first lengthy one
odd junco
@wispy onyx ok so my angry face gesture is a growl sound. but for some reason its the same for my shock gesture when it should be an alert sound from MGS
regal magnet
I thinnk he means gestures since you dont "switch" emotes
wispy onyx
Emotes have a maximum animation length of 10 seconds
clear yew
oh yea i do mean gestures sorry
exotic ember
good to clarify either way
odd junco
as in Victory gester but instead it changes my face
cold shard
does anyone know how i would get my charcter to do an idle licking animation if possible cause she can stick her tongue out https://i.gyazo.com/9a84d56ea7634fb82d9d300e6d010519.png
clear yew
if ive got to set something to 1 for finish thats probably it, ive not done anything like that
regal magnet
I had a gesture for 20 frames ones, and it would slow all my other finger movements down over 20 frames instead of 1
You dont even have an ending so yeah..
Has anybody here used Trail renderer at all?
wispy onyx
Yes
odd junco
mabey changing the priority of the sound source will fix it?
regal magnet
How F'd am i if i want to start and stop, but keep the trail.
wispy onyx
I have that on my model, you need 3 animations, one to draw lines, one to draw "clear ink" which is the linr but drawn far away from the rest, and one to clear
google snail marker vrchat
you can cut it to 2 animations if you have the model automatically be drawing by default
regal magnet
Oh it is possible then thats good
No i probably will use 3
don't want to bother people by constantly drawing
wispy onyx
I have mine constantly drawing i just clear it after ive finished moving
Or keep my "clear line" animation gesture held down when im standing around
regal magnet
So clear ink is basically a different emitter that draws seethrough, am i correct
And it fools the other linne into staying there
Ive been animating the line itself all along
wispy onyx
No "clear ink" is just the draw animation, but with the x axis very very high up
So technically you are still drawing a continuous line
exotic ember
using an outdated sdk wouldnt mess with my uploads would it
wispy onyx
Its just that the "invisible parts" are actually just the line drawn high up in the sky
regal magnet
Netharion i think you wont be able to upload at all
wispy onyx
Yes it would, you need the latest version of the VRCSDK
exotic ember
huh neat
regal magnet
Wouldnt the line you are drawing high up show a jump into the air?
wispy onyx
Jan 3rd 2018 public build
regal magnet
When i teleport during drawings thres a line connected to me from the start point
I mean probably not since it works for you but it sounds oddfor a solution
wispy onyx
No because the line between the drawing ink and the "clear ink" does not interpolate
wispy onyx
Because it is done on seperate animations so the Y axis transformation doesnt allow the ink to travel in a continuos line from the visible ink to the clear
regal magnet
Ic, and if you telport you move, which doesnt happen in animation jump
Thanks 😃 i thinnk i got it
exotic ember
@wispy onyx so I changed the settings and now im only hearing the distortions
but not the sound effect anymore
exotic ember
im upping the volume back to 1 to see if it changes
noble fern
Shooting vs unholster. I have a cocking sound when it unholsters, but I don't know where to add the shooting animation sound on a different gesture
When I put it on the default model it does both sounds together when the gun is unholstered. Any ideas?
regal magnet
Can you not make an area around the gun where you put the sound on?
I always thought you drag the sound in seperately
noble fern
I have that
regal magnet
Couldnt you make the gun simply a parent and just enable annd disable the different audio clips?
not sure if thats the smartest way to do it but
I know you can Enable and disable durinng gestures, this would make only the audio clip play you want
noble fern
Yeah, but do I have to have the audio in the model I made for animation, or the one that I upload to the game
regal magnet
The one made for animation
noble fern
Unless
regal magnet
Cuz you animate it to be active
noble fern
Hmm I have an idea, maybe I can just duplicate the gun
regal magnet
If you have it on your normal model it plays by default probably
noble fern
And instead of calling the unholstered one, it called the already out
regal magnet

noble fern
Hey @regal magnet, if you duplicate a duplicate model you made for an animation to reuse, how do you get that animation dragged into the override?
Or do you have to redo the entire animation
regal magnet
You drag the animation into the override
If you dont make a new file for an animation you'll just end up rewriting an existing animation
Also @wispy onyx , I founnd some tutorials, but the animation DOES animate my line from 2000 position back to where i am. As i expected, Thanks anyway but ill have to look further

Does anyone have good dynamic bone settings for a Cape by chance?
pseudo kernel
Play around with curves too
I find that force is better than gravity. Gravity looks wrong if the angle is too great.
peak relic
https://i.imgur.com/SsMKxPf.png I'm trying to make it so that the cape doesn't stick out like that.
clear barn
Well the cape won’t collide with the floor I believe
pseudo kernel
@peak relic you can use force and or pose it downwards.
cyan sparrow
Rotate the bones in the cape to have a better rest position then use force
peak relic
I just wanna weigh it down. Lol
clear barn
Use gravity or force
cyan sparrow
Don't use gravity, just change the bone positions and use force. Gravity is borked.
pseudo kernel
Force y is the real gravity
clear barn
I use gravity for my tie and it works fine
spare bramble
i'll give that a try atm @clear yew cheers bro
peak relic
Will the cape still move with force?
clear yew
@spare bramble heres mine for referrence if you want to see it in action https://imgur.com/36O51XF

Just don't set the force too high and it will move
peak relic
Ok thanks
clear barn
Force is kinda the same thing as gravity
spare bramble
how'd you make it expand like that @clear yew
clear yew
pseudo kernel
If you ever tilt 90 degrees, gravity fucks up big-time.
clear barn
I’ve played with it and it works wonders
cyan sparrow
If you tilt more than a couple degrees you can notice it screwing up
pseudo kernel
Did you ever rotates along x? Try it
clear yew
@spare bramble I changed the size over lifetime settings
pseudo kernel
Or I guess it would be a z rotation? I don't know
cyan sparrow
Doesn't really matter which way you rotate it behaves strangely either way.
pseudo kernel
It's like the gravity curve is set up incorrectly
clear yew
So I wanted some input on something. anyone know the particle prefab people are using to make the kamehameha?
pseudo kernel
@clear yew maybe a trail or cylinder with a ki ball particle on the end?
clear barn
pseudo kernel
Your colliders might be keeping it from getting too janky.
cyan sparrow
Looks borked to me, doesn't point down correctly, sticks to the character somehow. Then again that could be a bone issue.
soft axle
Where I can change my custom running animation?
cyan sparrow
Probably isn't a big deal since you probably aren't rotating your chest much.
clear barn
force removes the wiggle
cyan sparrow
Although if the default position is pointing down you probably don't need any kind of external force at all
pseudo kernel
Also whether you have VR or not
clear barn
no cause i want it to angle if i crouch
cyan sparrow
Even with VR, how often are you lying down in game?
clear barn
not much, but it looks better with gravity imo

Is there anyway to import a VMD motion to a unity Animation?
Thats hilarius lyv, I have no idea
fuck i want this = D
I would guess something like a trigger animation override, that temporarily hides his model, and replaces it with the model of him on a rocket
yea but how makes him push up?
and that is sent into the air by a velocity over lifetime thing
hm
or, the rocket has a shapekey that slowly gets extended to 100 and the higher it gets the higher he gets
If its possible to move an object in the animator, it also could just slowly be going up from that too
hm
eithor way, I'm 100% sure atleast step 1 is the hand gesture override is hidding his model and replacing the model with his on a rocket because his nameplate doesn't move
Anyways, I have two questions of my own. How can I make a kamehameha blast, and how are people doing overrides that you can walk with?

I get some people in that vid just have the animation going as soon as it loads. but I've seen Miku APB summon a chainsaw, get glowing wings on command and dubstep music to boot. and then went around and chased a dude for 5 minutes

@clear yew that's just a beam made from a bunch of particles, doesn't really look like a kamehameha honestly. i'd suggest experimenting with particle trails.

I just need something thats close
My only experience at the moment is using already made prefabs from particle packs
But I'll google that

@safe bay
It takes alot of time to do. @undone glade
Not as easy as rigging or decimation.
safe bay
@plush meadow You first need to drag that prop on the bone you want it stay in.
undone glade
Well I assume a few planes and a sound effect
plush meadow
I put it under the right hand.
safe bay
For example if you have an axe. The axe goes in the wrist section.
plush meadow
Then?
safe bay
It should work that way. Since its under the armature and you are summonin the game object with an emote.
How does it look for you?
plush meadow
Well I don't have vr but when standing still drawing the gun works.
I mean if you want to test it out with vr, you can be my guest.
I have an alt account.

I dont have vr myself.
I just have people to test it for me
Nothing says that the prop doesnt move around.

It includes having to position the gun properly as well as the particle system. @undone glade

undone glade
anyone have kind of a default volume setting for their gun sound effects?
so it's not quiet and at the same time not threatening to make people deaf
weak gulch
Alright I have question, If I want to add a sound effect like a "Party Popper" tied to an animation how would I go about it? I actually just want the sound effect to play by hitting an animation or the emote button.
undone glade
add a audio source
make sure you have the settings how you want them, make it play on awake, and apply it like it's a prop
Like if you have a party popper, drag the audio source into it
weak gulch
okay I know that part but how would I go about to tieing it into the emote or animation slot in the "overrideAnimation" part
do I drag the object into it?
undone glade
Do you have a party popper or you just want the sound?
weak gulch
Just want a sound to play when I hit the emote or animation button
undone glade
so it would be like adding a prop, you uncheck the box to make it hidden drag it onto your avatar, create a duplicate, and then create an animation with the duplicate where you will add a property then you go into your heirarchy to find it and click 'activate'
weak gulch
alright I did that by duplicating the said model and hide the original one
undone glade
yep
add property>armature, then you will simply look for the audio source, open it and click "active"
weak gulch
Where exactly do I go to do the "add property" part?
weak gulch
ahh I see it
undone glade
figure it out?
weak gulch
uh I went to Armature and couldn't find the audio source
undone glade
is the audio source on your armature?
weak gulch
I attached the audio to the object
undone glade
did you uncheck the box or the object?
weak gulch
oh I see it
undone glade
the audio or the object?
weak gulch
okay so I just pick the audio sourcE?
weak gulch
yeah so the option is play on awake?
undone glade
If it's play on awake and it's active have :00 be active and :01 active.
and that's it.
then it's simply drag your animation into a gesture and you're good to go
weak gulch
wait so both times should be active?
weak gulch
okay
undone glade
like if the sound effect was 15 seconds long. You can hold the gesture and let it play all the way through or let go and stop it at anytime
weak gulch
alright ty ty ^
actually one more question
when doing the overridecustom part
do I add the animation script to both objects or just the one main
oblique pivot
if i want to animate someone in a wheelchair how would i do it?

So I have this audio source right. Do I attach it to the duplicate object and set it as active and then when uploading have it hidden and the main object up?
foggy pier
Anyone maybe know why when I upload my avatar is invisible?
weak gulch
Damn I am still having problems having this audio source attaching to the animation.
lilac dew
Lemme get on my pc and ill help
you only need 1 audio source
set as hidden
under add properties, add this
https://puu.sh/z4Mdf/8ab1d11fb1.png
afterwards
check the audio source, remember to click on the record button as the moment u check that box, it goes into recording mode
weak gulch
okay so I did that but it wouldn't capture it
so I just went to the add property -> audio source -> play_on_awake
weird it won't let me hit active on it
nvm it worked this time
lol idk how
Okay @lilac dew I got that so now I add that animation to the CustomOverride and then set it to Emote1 ? Do I have to delete the duplicate object or anything else? I know I have to set the VRC stuff for the main one but is that it?
lilac dew
drag and drop the duplicated animation clip into the animation override controller
weak gulch
done
peak summit
Are emotes only 10 seconds long?
earnest trail
no
lilac dew
they go up to 60 seconds
before breaking
the animation overrides your idle animation
so you can move around while ur animation plays
but your head doesnt move
weak gulch
So after I attached the animation clip to the animation override controller and then attach it to the item. What do you do with the duplicate or original object?
peak summit
So I imported a vmd animation and made it an animation file but how can I also add sound to it?
weak gulch
lol I swear I need like a detailed tutorial to do that. I did what people said to do the sound part but idk what to do with the duplicate object or what should be hidden.
I'm sure the question has been asked countless of times too lol
thick olive
hey can anyone hook me up with the middle finger animation? i dont have the muscle poser, also if y'all got some funny run animations it would be much appriciated! lol
empty wave
The duplicate model you used to make the animation can just be totally hidden
And any particle effect or audio effect on your main model should be unchecked unless you want it always on
weak gulch
okay let me try to reproduce this thing what I did.
Information: Model has an attached Audio source
-
I duplicated the first object containing audio source
-
Hid the first object and hid the audio source
-
I went to Animation tab and did add property
-
I went to hit record & activate the audio source and then stopped recording
-
Hid the duplicate and unhid the original
-
I went to add the OverrideController
-
I also added the animation to emote_1
-
Upload
-
Test on VRChat
-
Failed test on VRChat
empty wave
Failed how
weak gulch
I went through all emotes / emojis and no sound audio played
empty wave
Did you overwrite an animation with the audio animation on the override
Oh you added to emote 1 didnt read that
plush meadow
For my gun, I had to enable the sound and muzzle flash on the main model.
empty wave
What did you name the animation
plush meadow
While unchecking the game object on the duplicate to get it to work as intended.
empty wave
Also set the audio to 1-100 distance, linear rolloff just to make sure that it works
drifting coral
Have anyone here successfully changed dynamic bone properties with animation ?
signal mango
can someome walk me through adding particles to an animation
weak gulch
I just named the animation generic like "model_se_1"
empty wave
And that name is now what is in emote 1 slot on override?
weak gulch
I set the Audio range from 0-2 for default VRChat stuff?
No the emote_1 didn't change its name
empty wave
Click the override, beside the emote 1 click the little circle to the right and add the animation
lilac dew
that too
weak gulch
I did @lilac dew on to the original object
empty wave
Then yeah drag it on
lilac dew
hmmm
empty wave
Can you screen shot your override
plush meadow
It's probaby the options of the audio source.
weak gulch
the audio source is suppose to be "hidden" right?
If I uncheck hidden on the audio source and just press play where it's near the camera, it plays the audio on the Unity engine itself*
signal mango
does anyone have a good video for make particles an animation
empty wave
I would delete duplicate, the animation, audio source on original model.
Add new audio source, set the position to 0 0 0, attach to models spine or something, 1-100 distance linear rolloff, uncheck it.
Duplicate model, create new animation, click add property, find audio source open the drop down and make active. Make sure its checkmarked. Move the secondary animation keys to how long you want the audio to play forr. Hide duplicate, add animation to override drag override to model and that should hopefully work
Also,make sure the audio is a .ogg file
weak gulch
Alright
empty wave
Thats exactly how i do all my animations and they work
pale acorn
can i also ask relating to the audio thing, if i use the override slot of EMOTE1 with my own animation. where do i put the audio so that it will play when i click on my custom animation
thorny fox
hii
has anyone attempted to do a black hole effect? (like blending light)
bending light*
empty wave
@signal mango https://youtu.be/zNq1p8oXB3o try this video, dudes kinda annoying but it helped me a bit
@pale acorn idk if i get what youre asking but drag your audio source to your avatars armature and add the audio to your animation
pale acorn
how do i add the audio to my animation?
the animation i got from mmd
i mean trigger the audio when i play my mmd animation
empty wave
Oh you downloaded the animation from somewhere?
pale acorn
yeah
empty wave
Hmm im actually not sure sorry, only ever added audio to my own animations
thick olive
hey i got a question so i made an animation of a gun in my hand but when i pull it out in game it keeps moving around like it trying to spin?

@thick olive did you remember to delete the keyframes and paste them at 1 second?
https://prnt.sc/i2inpf you delete the ones that are red, copy the first keyframes and paste them where the blue box is

Besides that lol, I just get the small window in the bottom
Rather do it in game view after pressing play
Or does the controller I attach just play all animations?

@lilac orbit if you look in the assets store u can find free motion cap data
@dull fiber what are you trying to do?

I guess, but I have a bit of a different issue, and I'm not using MMD's.
flint light
ah that might be a issue yes
vestal forge
Not just that, I just want to be able to do the default gestures with different expressions.
flint light
if you don't have visemes on your model it will be a problem tho
you'd have to add them yourself if thats the case
vestal forge
Not really, I made, like, 8 custom objects that I'm using as my eyebrows and eyes, and if I ever need a different mouth image, I'll draw one, but the problem for me is editing animations.

flint light
edition animations? which animations specifically?

Hand gestures.

hey guys how i get the particles in a particle system to emit faster?
prisma vessel
found it thanks @topaz barn
clear yew
yeah thats not working
lemme word it diferently
i watn the whole sysetm to shoot out faster
like its to slow
clear yew
particle speed
i think
its not that i want more particles from emmsion
they are jsut moving too slow
clear yew
yeah thats not changing anything when i increase the number
topaz barn
screencap
clear yew
thats why im confused
prime gale
Just to check I'm right
If I wanted say, a handgun to fire, and it has the armature to allow me to rock the slide, should I be making the animation on the model of the gun itself?
topaz barn
no
topaz barn
@prime gale animate directly on root armature
prime gale
because it'd be essentially a two stage animation, one to draw it, the other is the "firing"
So on the root of the overall avatar like normal then?
topaz barn
yes
topaz barn
@clear yew is the start speed not working?
clear yew
it is
when i type a larger number nothing happens
when i type a smaller number it works
topaz barn
Screencap entire unity window
clear yew
now the way the way the particles spin around the cylnder changes
but it does speed up
but it is more narrow now
topaz barn
@clear yew just wondering, whats your emission rate?
topaz barn
1 million max particles worries me
clear yew
i havent changed it yet
topaz barn
People can get severe lag from 500 particles
clear yew
like i said i was playing with it earlier
prime gale
Another stupid question, animations can only be a couple frames, so I shouldnt be animating the slide rocking back should I?
I know otherwise its basically gonna snap forward, and look weird, but I dont see how I'd animate it in so few frames
topaz barn
@clear yew Lower lifetime causes particles to die earlier.
prime gale
What I mean is
prime gale
the way this works is the Rock'n'Roll gesture draws the prop, hilariy ensues, now I want to be able to "fire it"
topaz barn
@clear yew there will be less particles on the screen at one time
prime gale
I'm lucky in that this prop has a moving slide and stuff
but animations can only be like, 2 frames right?
prime gale
So the way this was gonna work was I make the Rock'n'Roll to "draw" it
and then just clench into a fist to fire
topaz barn
yes
prime gale
surely lifting the one finger on my touch controller to go back to the last gesture would reset it?
prime gale
Yea but this is a seperate, near identical model
I'd switch when I want to have shenanigans
topaz barn
you need to do another gesture to cancel it
prime gale
Yea but literally just lifting off the grip button is another gesture no?
it would go back to the previous one
prime gale
I have a Rift, it tracks fingers way better than the Vive
I keep forgetting that
I'll try it
Gestures in this are literally just moving fingers up and down off buttons
Is the vive the trackpad or something?
I know vive users can do gestures, obv
topaz barn
it is
prime gale
Alright, I'll try it
topaz barn
Oculus's controller is undoubtedly better than vive

where can i find a video on how to remove something (in my case a mask) and have it on my hand https://i.imgur.com/r9EhDXc.png
i can only find vids on how to add stuff

@obsidian vigil there is a audiosource component in inity
@errant light Is the mask a seprate model?
obsidian vigil
Yes i know but ive tried it multiple times now it wont play when i use my animation
what do i need to trigger and check in order for it to activate?
topaz barn
@obsidian vigil screencap entire unity window
@errant light is the mask a seprate model?
I cant help if you don't provide enough information
@errant light @obsidian vigil

do it

it needs to be on the model?

topaz barn
Use an animation to hide face mask and make hand mask appear
when you put your hand near your face, activate hand gesture
errant light
do i dupe the model first?
topaz barn
yes always do animations on a duplicated model
animate directly on duplicated avatar root
errant light
how do i remove previous animation?
nvm
so i do animation on the face mask? https://i.imgur.com/9kQEP9D.png
or hand or both

yeah I gave up on adding the audio source to a model.
It just didn't work or does it not work for Generic models?

delete the keys on the right
add a key frame at first frame
you should have two key frames
one at 0 frame, one at 1 frame
and they should have the properties and numbers

@limber matrix If the wings come in a fbx, just drag them under spine or whatever
If you want particles, there are plenty of particle tutorials online

do you use vr?

drop the controller under "animator component"
add it to "custom standing anims" under avatar descriptor

By dropping
I mean set it to none

do i puthe the sphere and cylinder or do i just put the whole parent file?
topaz barn
Well
What I like to do is make the sphere as the parent of cylinder and light
Since it directly attach to your hand
Sometimes it fixes the problem with incomplete objects for me
clear yew
ok so in the anim file would i put the whole sphere file or both
clear yew
would that include the particles as well?
topaz barn
where is the particle system located?
clear yew
thats the light
topaz barn
yes
You can make the hand the direct parent of the sphere btw
since now its just one object
clear yew
ok
in the anim file
would i need to add the light particles separatly as a property or can i jsut include in the sphere file since it is a child of that?
clear yew
clear yew
so the particles will work as just a child of sphere
clear yew
?
topaz barn
the particle system is a component
like dynamic bones
or avatar descriptor
It attaches itself to a gameobject
In this case, the sphere
clear yew
ok
topaz barn
@grizzled cobalt ?
topaz barn
@grizzled cobalt there is a slot called FINGERPOINT in override
grizzled cobalt
I know but
when I tried replacing that last time

in which way?

the particles went from sliding down cylinder to converging inside of the sphere
the particles went form going down the cylinder to going inwards on the sphere

Is there a method by which I can stop an animation looping? I'm having the issue now where this is what happens: Handgun gesture to make prop appear, my index finger closes over the trigger to "fire it", but that causes the slide to go back and forth like crazy as it loops the animation
or would not looping it break everything?
topaz barn
@clear yew Sorry helping other people
woeful rapids
@prime gale I think you would have to just animate it going back into position normally?
topaz barn
When u need me mention me
prime gale
Yea but I'd need to do it on another animation override, making it impossible to do it seamlessly
honestly I could get around this by just not animating the slide, but I dont have a muzzle flash effect yet so it'd just be the audio
:/
We really need better animaton control one day
topaz barn
@clear yew Can you show the effect?
woeful rapids
I just wish we could do over 10second emotes. But I do have a workaround
prime gale
I'm lucky, the Rift lets me weave hand gestures pretty well, but I have 3 haptics on the face of the Touch that all do the same thing
topaz barn
adjust rotation
clear yew
of?
because the particle system is a component now
if i try to roate the sphere everything rotates?
rotate
clear yew
?
topaz barn
what you did before
clear yew
ok then the animation will still be a problem
topaz barn
unhid the particle system
hide the sphere
if sphere is activated, al its children wll activated
so sphere -> hidden, cylinder -> active , particle-> active
just active sphere in animation

ok
