Hey, I've been making some override animations lately, they have only 1 frame, but every time I try to change away from them it takes them a few seconds to change, how am I able to fix that?
timid sparrow
hey does anyone know why I can't change the armature rotation? I'm trying to rotate the neck in an animation and it won't let me
halcyon dirge
@timid sparrow Are you in playmode?
timid sparrow
playmode? like where the buttons are blue at the top?
halcyon dirge
yes
timid sparrow
no
halcyon dirge
Odd.
tepid lantern
@timid sparrow are u using the rotation tool
halcyon dirge
It's a safety feature that activates to prevent, you from messing stuff up whilst animating, and rigging.
timid sparrow
is there a way to stop it?
halcyon dirge
Normally it would just be because you are in "playmode" which is fixed by stopping it.

Does anyone know how to make an object you spawn using an animation override stay where you created it using that gesture animation?
i´m trying and trying and trying and i dont know how
viral yarrow
@clear yew you can try to scale it so that It's impossible to see it, and when the animation starts, scale it back to it's original size
clear yew
i have the object, which is a cube on scale 0, it has a big particle system on it, but the cube is still moving with me like this
i dont now how scaling will stop it from moving

Is anyone free to help me work through importing an animation? It's an fbx file, and in the rig menu I've selected Humanoid animation type, copy from other avatar as the definition, and selected my avatar as the source. When trying to apply, I get an import error telling me my transform heirarchy doesn't match, that it can't find the hips transform for the hips bone.
It's preventing me from extracting the animation file

I have a really dumb issue. I'm trying to do an animation override for the "fall" animation. The animation has transforms for generic (non-humanoid) bones. If I do an override for anything other than "Idle", the generic bone transforms don't work.
I have way too many oddly specific problems.

Question.
How consistent is sound in custom animation?
Does it work all the time or only sometimes for others to hear?
valid estuary
Shooting too yes
plush meadow
For me it works sometimes.
What are your audio options?
Because I can see the muzzle flash of my gun.
But the sound is only for the user.
valid estuary
I think its more of an animation thing
I think its more of an animation thing
Audio settings shouldnt realy matter
Oh put the range up?
plush meadow
Sometimes the sound will not come at all.
It happened when my friend and I switched worlds.
He couldn't hear it on his end anymore.
valid estuary
Das weird
Audio sources should be default disabled and only be enabled to play the sound with the animation
plush meadow
can you send me the screenshots of what it should look like?
Maybe I screwed up somewhere.
I don't know.
valid estuary

Hey guys! do generic animations work on vrchat?

You mean the picture of the settings for the duplicate where the animation was made on?

plush meadow
Why do you have bypass reverb zones enabled?
valid estuary
doesnt reverb anymore then on stuff

you dont need that
prisma vessel
Hey guys, do you know how to loop animations to make them longer?
valid estuary
go to your animations
select all your markers

put the red line on the last marker of your animation
ctrl+v

OHH! yeah! thank you!
plush meadow
hollow olive
is there a good tutorial somewhere on how to import a custom run animation?
everytime i try to over ride it messes up my walking animation
valid estuary
are both frames the same settings?
plush meadow
Yeah.
valid estuary
you need to disable the audio in the inspector in the hierarchy
by default
the animation will turn it on for you and back to disabled
plush meadow
What do you mean by inspector?
plush meadow
You want to see my duplicate model's settings?
valid estuary
wheen you click on the audio source
should be default on your main body
i mean like that
top right
the small box
should be disabled
on your main body
so your animation manages it instead of it being always on
prisma vessel
Oh sorry I was wrong, yeah that was what I did with the blinking animation.
I meant like a dance, I want a dance to loop to be longer.
I know there's a 10 sec limit for those.
valid estuary
yeah just copy the markers should work fine?
prisma vessel
Oh, I can work the dance in that window? I'm gonna try.
clear yew
when you are making a animation in unity and it moves out of place do you have to put it back or is it oki?
valid estuary
if you stop the animation completely and the record function it should go back to its base state
plush meadow
I already did that in earlier screenshot. @valid estuary
plush meadow
So I have to disable everything on the main model?
Including muzzle?
@valid estuary
Can I show you my duplicate model settings as well?
valid estuary
no just the sound
the duplicate shouldnt matter at all
thats only where you do the animations on
plush meadow
So it doesn't mean anything if I change anything from the duplicate? https://gyazo.com/73dc485dcc841d7cbbfcbdaaac7e076f
So having the game object gunfire2 enabled on duplicate doesn't matter?
valid estuary
no because the duplicate gets deleted before you upload your model
normally
or atleast completely disabled
valid estuary
probably
since then the sound only triggers with the animation
instead of with the gun
plush meadow
So leave muzzle flash enabled on main?
valid estuary
yeah jsut the sound is broken right
plush meadow
yeah.
plush meadow
That completely disabled the sound. @valid estuary
Leaving it enabled with the game object off on main results in the sound working sometimes.
valid estuary
ohjeah
add the sound to the animation
so that the audio source gets enabled with the animation
valid estuary
just add the audio source itself to the animation
game object is active 1
for the audio source
plush meadow
?
plush meadow
So you're telling me that I have to manually add both muzzle and sound to the animation?
Or jus the audio?

better to tell the animation specifically what to activate

If it still rotates the part properly when posing I think you can just move it into place. I've done that a couple times.
Like, just take that back part and place it by the other thumb joint. Then set them to be connected. Should work.

seems to have worked. just a pain to get it to rotate in place but i can do it
just sucks I did all the dynamic bones and everything in Unity already.... anyway to just refresh the model with changes?

Yup just export and import again.

but that just makes a copy

I want it to fade in when the animation is triggered and fade out when the animation stops. I can't do that by editing the file

If you know how long the animation is why don't you make a single game audio clip the same length as the animation and put your fading sound at the beginning and at the end ?

I don't know how long the animation is. It's not an emote or gesture

okay, but that's not how it is. The sound is set to play while the avatar is in the "falling" state

they changes nothing 😦
@main bone can you try setting the falling animation as the idle animation and seeing if the tails continuously sping when idle?
in vrchat
main bone
I tried that
and sure enough, it worked
the default tail animation if part of my idle override as well, and that works
it just seems to not work with the other anims

I have an idea. can you find what the default vrchat falling animation is and open that in unity and just paste in the tail spinning animation and save it as a new falling anim?
formal tangle
you can find them and dublicate them then add stuff to them

let me check it out

alternatively you can find them , open the one you choose and control c the movements in it and then paste them into a new anim

you can do that, but it has to be in rig configuration
move / rotate the bones where they need to be
doing it in the scene editor will have no effect

maybe take the VRC chair template and have the legs positioned in an alterative sitting pose for an animation clip.. eg. sitting like a kid, legs crossed flat or have the legs spread out or to the side and not dropping below the seat.

So I've continued on working on my BB8 avatar and planning to go a bit more advanced with it. Is it possible to give the antennas of it some movement? Kinda new to blender too so I'm not sure how much weight should I give it without being able to preview it 😓
normal skiff
isn't it supposed to reset on the next keyframe?
perhaps the question is ambiguous though
if you want a keyframe to have the same value as the previous one you can copy/paste...
or I think you can just omit it too?

erm i have a question

Hey friends, can anybody lend some insight in to how to add an effect to an avatar that functions as a pen that follows your fingertip?
like an animation that draws a line on your fingertip?
normal skiff
jaunty gull
oh thanks omg
normal skiff
the line does disappear when the pen disappears and I'm not sure whether there's a way around it just yet
if you don't want the actual pen you can just set it not to render it
I see some people drawing lines which stay up despite their pen being put away so I know there is some way to do it -_-
jaunty gull
maybe they dont add the erase all override
normal skiff
I don't either XD
jaunty gull
hm, i think i get it, thanks for linking xD
normal skiff
being able to hide it and show it is fun in its own way anyway so I might just keep it the way it is now
I've mostly been using it to draw glasses and moustaches on people who are AFK
guh, I can't tell what I'm doing wrong with this animation controller
it only has one state .. how hard can it possibly be to get it to play my one animation lol

cloud galleon
I made an animation for a generic rig, it is 1.5 seconds but it keeps looping until the maximum 10 second mark is reached. I want it to stop and not loop

ok the moral of the story is
if you're gonna make a prop animation, make it on a clone of the prop that isn't connected to the avatar

do you know drago

what do you mean by "both seconds move up"?

I'm in animation tab right

@clear yew I believe there is an option to "select verts" from a vertex group via that would help with narrowing down shapekey vert selection..
But that's the good/bad thing about shape keys, they allow for more freeform movement, but are tedious
What sort of shape key are you trying to accomplish? Viseme sounds? Or something different?
Something I've used in my shape keys when I've got a bunch of tiny annoying to select objects is a dummy material I apply to things I want to select quickly
In the materials panel, there's a button to "select effected verts" with any given material on them
So... In effect, this can be used a bit like selection layers for Photoshop

Hmm anybody know a problem with the avatars not moving positions in animations in which they should? for example i made an animation in which the character should take a few steps back then run foward however the avatar does the animation on the spot and does not move backwards.
noble fern
So I've seen this on two different avatars. But they have an invisible cube, and when they put it on your head the interior is animated and has sounds. How would I go about trying to do this?
fickle bay
Ok so I've got a animation fully made for blinking and ear twitch that I have set to legacy and put in the animation component on the avatar
The blinking is blend shapes the twitch however is done using the transforms on the bone and controlling them in the animator
In game the blinking works completely fine however the ears don't move at all
It works in unity when I hit play and go to scene view but not in vrchat
Anyone know what's up?
fickle bay
Not sure what you mean by that can you elaborate? I'm only moderately knowledgeable about this stuff
@late phoenix
late phoenix
Not at my computer right now but when you go to Add Property in the animation timeline you need to add a controller and not just a transform property
For example there'll be a controller for like Root Q and T and other stuff
I think it's like the 2nd thing down in the menu
It's the icon with like 4 little squares
fickle bay
So do I have to remake the twitch animation completely? Or is there some way to salvage what I've done already?
late phoenix
Maybe
If you add the animation controller you could probably copy the keyframes from what you already did
fickle bay
Ok so I've never used the animation controller while animating is it similar in some way to anything else I've might have done?
late phoenix
Mmm like have you animated blend shapes before?
fickle bay
Yup I got that down pretty well
late phoenix
It's like the same type of thing just for the arms or whatever you're moving
When you're moving stuff that isn't a blend shape you need an animation controller
Otherwise it'll like snap back into place
fickle bay
Ok cool
Thanks for the help your awesome
late phoenix
No problem hopefully that helps a bit, hard to explain when I'm not at my PC lol

Then you make the movement

If I make an animation in Blender that spawns in an object just for that animation can that be used in VRChat?

why not make the animation through unity? I think you'd have an easier time since you'll be able to test to see if it works out too, That method might work though

Yes, copy the properties of that dance and add it to your new animation and then just add the aduio/effects you wanted

Doing animations in unity are a lot safer since you get to easily test them out
You should be able to copy the properties of the file not edit

why does my unity go through so many uploading steps than usual?

novel flower
yep
sand apex
It's going to require some creativity but the idea is that you're going to need to add a couple of 3D rectangles that are really flat and put them on areas of your model you want to glow like that
Make it so all of the shapes are black and add the noenoe shader that makes it where a texture would transition across the Y axis (Up and Down or vice versa)
That's the general idea
You're going to have to put it really close to the model so it looks like it's a part of the outfit and make it as Flat as possible

It's missing the shape keys for the blinking?
Trying a new model separately and go straight to the eye tracking to see if it'll allow you to add a tracker in the first place

Might have to explain in more detail what im trying to do
An example:
I got a spell and a gun
Both have a basic animation (loading the spell/basic gun)
I want to have both change to an action (spell shooting and gun flashing)
My idea was to do that all within a signle other animation and create a second animation to switch between them
So i would turn off the normal spell and turn on the action animation with lets say an open hand emote
And if i got my gun out it would trigger that instead
sand apex
Oh you'd need more than 1 emote
unkempt moat
I know
But im pretty sure i can push both the end results into one emote by swapping whats happening
sand apex
You can
rapid cypress
@clear yew I've been beating my head against a wall with it for about a month now, so I can see where some of its mechanics are unfriendly for new users
sand apex
I don't think you can use the emote like a switch unless its a particle because that would require another emote to set the particle's render time back to 1 or 0 so it can turn off or be infinite
