Hey I have a character that has a phone with their model, could I make it act like a camera? screen shows what im pointing the phone at, then I could make it take a picture? not actually saving the pic, but something that I would be able to show other people around me?
topaz barn
cameras are no longer whitelisted
torn sail
I saw similar functionality in a YT video but I cant find that video anymore :C
topaz barn
you cant use them anymore
torn sail
Thanks for the info!
I could probably make the screen a mirror to achieve a similar effect
you guys think that will work?

Thanks

@topaz barn yeah that didnt work only the sphere and sound appear

hey guys i need kinda advanced help
wheen i dont pull out my guns all my dynamic bones are completely fine and work perfectly
but if i pull out my guns my whole body shakes randomly forward and backward and stops wheen i put away the guns
and the dynamic bones are broken and flail wildly around
topaz barn
@valid estuary what is your custom animation overwrite?
valid estuary
thats how i set it up
it only does that on fingerpoint
silver shooter equip
wait do you mean the animation window
valid estuary
thats the equip animation
also my holstered guns dont dissapear if i use that too
candid token
I'm really confused. Known of my animations have looping to it but when i hit Emote on my animation that doesn't have LOOPING and it loops for about 23 times.
topaz barn
whats the gameobject for
topaz barn
under wrist
topaz barn
are the guns visible by default ingame?
valid estuary
no
if i fingerpoint only
and go away if i do anything else
inspector is disabled by default
topaz barn
the guns are shown by default according to your armature
valid estuary
ijust enabled that
on the ingame one it isnt active
it only shows wheen i actually do the animation
topaz barn
are the animations applied to the root armature of avatar or armature of the guns?
topaz barn
no thats good
valid estuary
the circle animation is ONLY on the circle tho
like the aiming thing infront of the gun
but i want that to play only wheen its out
so i did that
but the main problem is that my whole body jerks back and forth in 1 frame intervalls
wheen i take the guns out
for some reason
topaz barn
whole body, not just the hips?
topaz barn
take a look at your anim file
for taking out the gun
you have a position property
remove that
valid estuary
OH LOL
FUCK
i was like wtf is happening then it was this easy all along
thats totally whole body position too
wheen thefuck did that happen
ohjeah okay that probably fixed my problem then
thanks m8
but my holstered guns dont dissapear wheen i take out my guns
now i jsut feel retarded

@topaz barn ohjeah do you know why my holstered guns dont disaapear?
wheen i start the animation
the holstered gun is set to Game Obyect is Active 0

make sure both frame in the anim file is identical

@viscid loom take a look around youtube

Put my question behind im intereset in spawning stuff

ive already gotten the object to appear as an animation
topaz barn
Gameobject can be activated through animation
viscid loom
@topaz barn Yep i get it but do you have 1 or 2 to recommend ?
obsidian vigil
can you like make a pokeball to throw or something?
obsidian vigil
This is good as well @viscid loom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eT5_nyb0T1g&list=PLlqPjR6glT9lj7HeX3U4pFNEjwiRkVp4c

@sacred gale it will stay as long as you hold the hand gesture
obsidian vigil
can you pick it up?
topaz barn
no
viscid loom
Ok thank gonna check those out
obsidian vigil
aww
topaz barn
Spawned object has no interaction to world or other players
sacred gale
if i dont have vr can i still get it to spawn with a press of a button?
topaz barn
@sacred gale yes. however as soon as the enote ends it will be gone

as if in holding a hotkey holds the animation on and releasing turns it off

guys where could I find a 2d lip sync mouth sheet?
For custom visemes?
No idea where to find one
topaz barn
@sacred gale without vr you cant do hand gestures
the item will not stay
@hexed current cats tool can create visemes for u
hexed current
not on all models.
This model which is xnlara
when i highlight over it its greyed out
with no optuion to make them
đ˘
Did I do something wrong?
topaz barn
do you have blendshapes/shapekeys on the model?
topaz barn
@hexed current google shapekeys in blender
follow steps
if u find none
no visemes
hexed current
I have vertex groups lol
hexed current
this model isnt mmd, lol
So how can I create my own facial animations? Idk how to get a mouth sheet, im following a tutorial but he has mouths
it is a 2d character, persona 5 char
so it should be possiblew
clear barn
In blender select the mesh, go to the tab that has a triangle with 3 dots and open the shape keys menu
There you press the + button twice and the second one is your new shape key
Select it and press tab to go on edit mode, there you can modify your expression
Press tab again and your shape key is done, you can change it by moving the value slider
hexed current
oh shit
I hav e mouth bones too
I might notr even need that
I can probably do shape keys with the mouth bones right?
hexed current
Ok so where do I get started xD
rugged yew
Is there a reference somewhere to see how I should make my model blink/eyelid shape key ? Like how much should the model close the eyelid
clear barn
Select the skeleton and in pose mode, move the mouth, then select the mesh and using the armature modifier select âtransform into shape keyâ or something like that
Then the movement that bone used to perform can be found as a shape key
sacred gale
anyone uses mixamo.com for animations?
slender mango
does anyone know where i can get the Muscle Animation Unity Asset for free?
topaz barn
Dont ask that kind of stuff here
clear barn
@hexed current yes. Now if you go to the shape keys menu thereâs the movement called âarmatureâ
fallow dawn
does anyone know why the idle im trying to use does not match the preview on unity at all with my model ingame? i can see its different from the default but not what it should be

Yes
hexed current
If i delete one of the 2 the slider 0-100 goes away
hexed current
got it
so like, if i wanna specify a mouth movement in unity, id select it and type in the nuimber?
clear barn
Itâs the default position shape keys are based off
clear barn
Yes, move the slider until itâs a nice position, then click the drop down menu to the right and select âcreate new from mixâ
Then name the new one âvrc.v_aaâ
And keep going until you got all the mouth positions
hexed current
thats in unity though right?
or in blender?
or out of curiosity
do i create the keys
then just use cats?
Im confused cuz like, what does cats do to the one thing I just created?
Make multiple visemes?

hexed current
Can there bem ultiple for the same mesh?
clear barn
Then combine those and select ânew from mixâ to make new keys, and name those the Vietnamese things
hexed current
Is that why it aint working?
clear barn
Yeah there can be multiple

i cant get anything to move now

Ctrl+z all the way until it works lol
hexed current
like it works fine but why cant i make new shape keys -__
am i doing something wrong here lol
hexed current
yes
but i cant pose it
or change it
i can simply adjust it from 0 to 100 and it goes from default to open
clear barn
Yes thatâs what itâs supposed to do, what do you need?
hexed current
I want to create different versions for the mouth for different visemes
thats what im supposed to do right?
one for open, one for smile, one for sad
clear barn
Yeah, but thatâs just the one youâll use for posing, thatâs not an actual Vietnamese pose
Youâll make poses out of it
clear barn
Set that one to 0, and add a new key
Remember, all keys will move from default to its pose
You can combine multiple keys to make mouth shapes
hexed current
now the shape key
is greyed
and cant be adjusted
Wtf!
oh it was hidden]

anyone got any shaders or materials for making electricity on a particle effect? i tried the free unity store one but it seems to be causing compiler issues
sonic tiger
Shape keys are vertex edits, they do not take bones into account
if you want to use bones to make shape keys, you will need to pose your model, then bake the pose into the shape key by selecting "applly as shapekey" on the armature modifier
Be sure to remake the modifier after the apply, and reset your bone positions

No
All you're doing is showing the "is active" in the animation window.
So the only polygons you're adding are the object i.e. weapon/sword.

Okay, so I've got a shape key that makes an object reduce in size to nothing when it's set to 100. How do I make the default state 100 and the final state to 0. Whenever I modify the value of a key it changes both the start and end.

Alright I want to make sure i'm doing this right.

or is there another more simpler way to do this.
I think I am doing this wrong not that I typed it out XD

I'm simply trying to keep the sound effect, but having the flash.. you know.. flash. XD
I have the gun, the muzzle flash, and audio source.
unless I'm missing something in the animation
topaz barn
whats the problem?
peak summit
If you want it to move with the gun have it be a child of the gun
undone glade
It's all positioned correct just need the sound effect to keep going while the flash a simple flash
topaz barn
Flash should be continuous right?
dull fiber
How are you guys animating cloth for emotes and stuff? I want my cape to flare during the emote but not sure how
peak summit
Then make the duration of the particle system as short as you want
topaz barn
So one flash, but gun fire sound is continuous?
Ugh
You want single fire or full auto
topaz barn
So one flash and gunshot sound?
undone glade
yep
undone glade
It's kind of like a flintlock pistol
topaz barn
I suppose you have duplicated the weapon right?
undone glade
I duplicated the avatar for the animation.
undone glade
peace sign to wield, devil horns to fire.
undone glade
or do you mean one to wield, one for the flash, and one to fire?
topaz barn
no
undone glade
thank god

one wield and one fire is enough
do you have flash particle created
make it child of firing
undone glade
most likely a mesh

I'm guessing just make the particle effect single and set it to like.. .1 or something.
because I think I just stumbled into making it.

@bleak delta youll need to animimate the other hand too

what you mean?

with a single face animation both hands need to be animated

ah okay
and another question, if i go ingame my left thumb is broken
how can i fix it?
arctic heart
what cha mean?
topaz barn
@arctic heart I am afraid that is not correct
bleak delta
wont move
topaz barn
You can animated facial expressions without touching hands

@bleak delta im not sure you might be able to use mesh render in Add Component to fix it but not sure
@topaz barn if not hands what would you use?

@arctic heart what do i have to do in Mesh render?

Hey guys, what's the best way to make a cloth with bones (like a cape) move during animation? Just need to figure out, have a character in a powering up pose and would like his cloak to flow a bit rather than be still

@bleak delta @bleak delta just animate the thumb to stay in a default position... but you said the thumb wouldnt move at all?
bleak delta
no even on the common gestures likes fist

When you set the Animation type to humandoid did you configure the hand bones any?

Hmm, adding gravit doesn't seem to do anything, are there a set of values I should be trying?

@bleak delta youll probably need to manually set the bones then

how do i get the tail moment in the animation clip though

hard coral
how hard is it to learn to do animations by hand?
clear yew
I guess this might be a better place to ask my question instead of #avatars-2-general. Whenever I do a gesture to perform an animation and accidentally sit down at the same time, the animation stays loaded until I switch worlds, is there any way to fix this?
For example pulling out a gun while at the same time sitting down makes the gun stay loaded
clear yew
Thanks for your input. But yeah, looking for another way.
hard coral
the root to it would be figuring out what triggers it, example, it registers you sitting down as an animation to play, but its already playing an animation, so it goofs and loops the animation already loaded while it tries to play sitting down
have you tried standing back up and sitting down again?
or does it just completely ignore your actions afterwards
clear yew
Yeah, nothing fixes it, performed the action again, tried sitting down and standing up again, etc. it just stays on my hand.
Don't really know whether its the animation thats looping or objects that are active forever either
Actually, I do know because I can move my hands freely, they are not tied around the weapon as they are when the animation plays.
Its just the objects that are active forever then I guess, unless I'm completely wrong.

sigh... I can never get this audio source to play as an emote on a generic model.
Anyone tell me if I'm wrong otherwise but I'll say what I did:
- Have the model audio source attached to the Armature of the model and have the sound as Hidden.
- Duplicate model and hid the original model
- Go to Animation tab
- Hit record
- Go to the armature and unhid Audio Source
- Ctrl + a in the animation slider and paste another version of it to the 05 second.
- Stop record
- Hid the duplicate model
- Duplicate the CustomOverrideEmpty
- Add the animation into Emote_1, Emote_2, Emote_3, Emote_4, Emote_5, Emote_6, Emote_7, Emote_8
- Add the CustomOverrideEmpty onto the VRC_Descriptor
- Upload model
- Attempt to Test (Going to VRChat)
- Failed (Model did not show an emote change in name)

I don't think you can anymore (if it's relating to scripts) I'm not sure. I just use Soundpad from steam to do my sounds manually.

Hey guys. Just out of curiosity, what happens if you change avatars mid-emote? Does it just cancel the emote or will it continue to play but with the next avatar?
errant light
using common sense it stops/cancel the emote or it won't work to change until the emote stops
fallen scarab
I would test it myself to get a definite answer but I can't get onto my main PC right now. Shame
errant light
lol, but the reason being is that when you change avatar then you don't bring anything with you from the old one so it shouldn't continue on the new one
fallen scarab
I was just thinking that since all avatars share the same selection of emotes they would just continue on from the same frame or something. Then again, emote overrides would probably mess that up anyways.

Any way to lengthen an Emote so it dousn't immediately revert back after running?

I made a custom idle animation - why this http://prntscr.com/i317wa

Emotes are limited to 10 seconds I believe. No idea if there's a way to bypass that limit currently.

Do you have an idea why my idle animation sinks into the ground
fallen scarab
It honestly could be a number of things. Is it still sunk in when you move around?
main bone
only while idle
What property are you supposed to use to set the position (since it's in the ground by default)

how do i make something invisible when an animation starts
main bone
I believe the 'Is Active' property will do that for you
swift folio
?
swift folio
yes but what i want is to make something that is stuck to the charcter or a part of the charcters mesh invisible
main bone
it has to be in a separate mesh

yes

and you use the property I described

?

just set the visibility while the animation is recording

in the heirarchy
main bone
that works
obsidian vigil
also the components stop it from being uploaded
main bone
that would be a better question for #avatars-2-general
obsidian vigil
Its an animation though
main bone
did you add a mesh that gets toggled on and off using a gesture
obsidian vigil
I animated this https://media.giphy.com/media/So4TiytAqACd2/giphy.gif,
no
but technically
main bone
then how did the poly count increase

any particle emitters will also add to the poly count iirc
main bone
hmm
obsidian vigil
i can do sth about that but how do i get it to upload alongside my components?
warm furnace
@obsidian vigil You're using the old particles system
obsidian vigil
How do i use the new one then
warm furnace
create "Particle system"
then you gonna need tomake each effect one particle system
and make a whole thiing
main bone
So hey, if someone could help me with this, that'd be neat http://prntscr.com/i317wa
I did a custom idle animation
obsidian vigil
but its an asset
main bone
happens only in idle
warm furnace
One fore forward ightning, one for backward, one for the railgun, one for the ball railgun going forward, one for the explosion, and for the money, you gonna need a money piece and make it appear, rotate dissapears
Yeah I know it's an asset
But those are old one, i've take one for a "waterfall" and it was shitty as hell, and would be correctly uploaded, so I've made my own
obsidian vigil
isnt there any way i can like copy the scripts from the asset or something?
warm furnace
If you know how works particles system works, should take you something like 3 4 hours to make the whole thing
obsidian vigil
i dont
warm furnace
Script doesn't work with avatar for the moment
You have no way to do it :X
At least
main bone
what property do I use to make the model level with the ground
novel flower
Not quite sure how to go about doing this. I am trying to do a gesture where the avatar takes a weapon off their back and into their hands. I've created the main version with a weapon on their back then for the duplicate I moved it to their hand. and attached that to the main model. Now when I go to the animator I make a duplicate of it, but when I go to spawn it both avatars appear. What am I suppose to do?
warm furnace
You can take some particles asset from the asset store and combine them
like a lightning effect, + a laser beam, plus other one and combine all
obsidian vigil
arent they working on implementing custom scripts atm?
main bone
I have another query. Can I make dynamic bones disable while an animation is playing

@main bone Never tested before, but try to record when in tab animation, then uncheck dynamic bones.

main bone
hmm
languid nimbus
Ok idk if I should be asking in this channel or not but the top texture of my foot is teleporting behind me but only ever in VRChat

also one more time, what property do I use to set the whole model's position
languid nimbus
Nihlus, hide the weapon on your back and show a new version of the model in your characters hand when you do it?
warm furnace
@novel flower You need to have two weapon one is visible on your avatar, one is invisible in your hand, and when you do animation just make the one on your avatar invisible and the one on your hand visible
@main bone Idk
novel flower
Hmm.

short maple
hello guys. So I've been playing around with animation movement on my non-humanoid avatar but the movement doesn't look like an infinite loop while walking. I made some custom animations that transitions into an infinite clip, but somehow the game wants to use the other clip attached to the model with the non-infinite clip. (kinda hard to explain..)
proud estuary
does it look like it cuts off at the end then starts over?
short maple
my custom animations for movement transitions into a smooth loop, but the original animation clip attached to the model doesn't. Idk why it's using the non-smooth transition considering that the controller has defined the custom animations and not the other.. đ
so what the non-smooth clip does is that it starts moving at the start of clip, but then slows down at the end to a complete stop, then repeats
short maple
wait I just checked my model and I remembered I removed it, so it has to be to do with the custom animations perhaps..
though when I preview the animation in Unity it looks fine. So Idk what's going on đ¤ˇ
hmm okay the animation somehow reappeared but I've corrected the keyframe distance like you said. Gonna try again

@novel flower when your face is doing blinking + facial expressions ?
novel flower
Dunno if its blinking. But if i move my head around while looking at mirror the >_< face and closed eye face seems to clip into head
warm furnace
if it's blinking try count seconds without moving see if it's regular
hmmm maybe it's eye tracking
you can desactivate both in blender
with catz plugin

pliant plank
@solemn cloud search for jazneo's or shana's tutorials on VMD to vrchat
solemn cloud
I don't think either of those covers creating a .anim file
fair slate
Is there a way to edit an animation file?
like i have the file under my character but i dont know how to get it in to the animation file so i can edit it cause i made a mistake and need to remove it
in to the animation tab in unity*
pliant plank
@solemn cloud they cover converting a VMD into an animation to be used in unity, a.k.a. .anim
solemn cloud
I want to create a .anim that I can drag into custom animation overrides easily across multiple models, like all the ones loli army / kanna gang post
I'll look at it again closer if it covers that and I missed it in my skimming though
pliant plank
Alright so the quick rundown is as follows
Import vmd into blender
Export model with vmd in it as fbx to unity
Rig the model as humanoid correctly
Go to imported animations next to the rig select menu
Rename the name of the animation so you can export it ( if it has | in its name it can't be duplicated)
Then go under your model and duplicate the .anim in it
The animation will work on ALL of the humanoids rigged correctly
solemn cloud
Thanks for explaining - ĚŽ ĚŽ-
On the step where you import the vmd, do you need to select all on the model before doing so? I tried importing the anim on a model that's already gone through various cats tool steps and the animation didn't seem to play when I tested it
Or could it be because I translated all the bones or something?
pliant plank
The model must not be alteref
Names must be the same and all bones should be present and unmodified
You need a standard unmodified .pmx/.pmd essentially
solemn cloud
ah that's why
In one of the tutorials they hit a button that says "shadeless" to make the textures appear, I can't seem to find it
they have a whole tab that I don't have
pliant plank
Yeah most people use CATS nowadays and don't install mmd tools...
pliant plank
Uh i thought i heard they implemented it into it
Oh well, take a screenshot of where you're searching for it
fair slate
Btw does anyone know how to open a .anim file inside of unity? never had to reopen it cause i didnt need to close unity
and now i dont know how to open the animation again so i can edit it
pliant plank
Can you not simply select it and open the animator window?
fair slate
Ok got it open now, I have a problem with the face animation im doing, im doing a face animation while making 2 objects active. its just a smile with closed eyes face animation but the animation just spassing. Like it blinks at like 200 blinks a second
pliant plank
I don't see yours though, did you forget a link?
fair slate
Anyway to work around that or should i just not have a face animation + objective active animations?
yeah @solemn cloud u forgot ur ui

I have this little escort fortress that is activated like a handgun, but If I want to make him "float" with a up / down effect how do I do it?
Should I make the animation of the "handgun" longer and affect his transform.position or is this a wrong solution ?
little raft
@robust hound You can give that escort an animation of its own and have it play on wake
little raft
@devout star Wouldn't recommend it unless you're tight and want to bring up a weapon on your avatar or something. There is a limit for a reason so either try to decimate a bit more ooooor wait till the poly limit is buffed up god knows when

Got it thanks

@rugged yew figured it out. "Idle" in the overrides list is supposed to be for standing idle, not hand position idle. I had overwritten it for the hands, and so that caused the body to glitch. removing it fixed everything
