slim steeple
so, doing this should work fine once I set it's animation override right?
http://prntscr.com/i6ycfc
brave torrent
yep
heavy stirrup
Any way to prevent hand-tracking motion from going too far down? Like it overrides tracking of your arms if they're too low?
slim steeple
Hmmm, It semi-works, the animation loops constantly for the expression instead of staying on that expression, should I switch the first set of keys to the same set of second keys?
That would change the base element too though
brave torrent
both frames have to be the same yes
slim steeple
oh okay
brave torrent
It does not change base element
the base element is the default that you have set in the scene
When you end a gesture, the animation ends and the default element gets applied

I added a custom emote to one of my avatars, but now when I stand still my dynamic bones vibrate like crazy. Anyone know what I may have done wrong?
spice swallow
How to make custom animation for emote? I am created (empty) one, but I can't edit keyframes, unity says Keyframing for humanoid rig is not supported!. Why? How to animate humanoid rig?
normal skiff
it sounds like you're trying to add properties from the Armature hierarchy instead of the Animator hierarchy
but that's a real stab in the dark
normal skiff
when I say hierarchy here (because it's ambiguous) I mean when you click Add Property there is a tree of stuff in there, and I'm referring to that tree
I remember having a similar error come up at some point but my memory of the exact message is fuzzy and it was before I started documenting my work
as for moving humanoid bones... I've mostly been doing that via that Muscle editor lately so I haven't had to manually pick from there for ages
spice swallow
So I should add each property manualy and edit it numerical?
normal skiff
that's the way to do it if you don't have Muscle Animation Editor yeah
or at least it's the way I see tutorials doing it
spice swallow
okay... Is there other way to make .anim? In blender, for example, can I export it somehow?
storm forum
So the open hand animation is that the default position of the hands or is that an actual hand animation
storm forum
Okay thats what i needed to know thanks!!
dark ether
Custom animation overide controllers for each hand?
normal skiff
would be nice, wouldn't it
dark ether
Theres like 3 people that know how to do it
Was wondering if anyone else knows and is willing to share
normal skiff
oh it can be done? I thought it wasn't possible based on what I've seen with mine
in theory you'd think you could make a custom animation controller based on the real one, but I don't think we have the real one to modify
I haven't seen anyone do anything which would require it in-game yet
can you copy AvatarControllerTemplate itself and modify that?
this template makes it look like the default hand position would be fist though, and obviously it isn't
meager saffron
Say I have a particle system that I want to emit, but not have the particles follow the object they're parented to. So that when the item moves, the particles stay at the place they were emitted for their lifetime. How would I do that in VRChat?
If I set Simulation Space: Local , then the particles follow the object and look fine.
If I set Simulation Space: World as has been suggested, then the particles seem to be static and based on my character's body position rather than the object I want them to follow. :/
The effect I'm going for is something that emits a few particles, but leave a trail when moved.
dreamy geyser
You cant do that, need the static object to create the particles on behalf of the item
meager saffron
Like have the item, then attach a particle system to it? not sure what you mean.
I keep googling and finding stuff like this: https://answers.unity.com/questions/309893/particlesystem-maintaining-particle-position-when.html
:/
wondering if it's a caveat of the way VRChat renders stuff.
like world = character position rather than the actual map

Quick question, how do I apply animation overrides to something in Unity? Never done overrides or anything with animations until trying to add a Snail Marker to an avatar
bleak basalt
Anyone know how I can change the color of my characters guys for an animation?
tropic vortex
Search for "override", create a copy of it and rename it, put the animations you want in it, then apply this override to your character in the vrc_avatar descriptor @cursive moon
How do you turn a character during an animation? I'm trying to find out which one does but, but my character never rotates / moves from its root position
cursive moon
Ah, like this? https://gyazo.com/d11c34d87e6b5bc58ca8ee03c8ece334
tropic vortex
Only change the custom standing one unless you are putting sitting animations as well
Separate the sitting from standing though, don't have mixed things in one override
Don't forget to change teh animation set and view position (and visemes in lip sync if you have them)
cursive moon
Thanks! Also, is there a way for me to upload this avatar as a seperate avatar in VRChat? For example, the model looks exactly the same except for this animation override?
tropic vortex
I think if you change the avatar name when you upload it it'll count as a different file, not sure. Haven't tried to upload different characters yet.
cursive moon
I'll try that, thanks
steep citrus
if you break your avatar that yopu intend to upoad by making an animation on it, is there a way to revert back to t pose?
tropic vortex
Exactly which property forces a character to rotate / move in the unity animation editor? I've tried the root animators, motion animators (those did nothing), body / armature transformations, whole model transformations, and none of them worked in-game, although some worked in unity.
civic sentinel
@bleak basalt Click on your avatar, go to Pileline Manager (Script) and click Detach.
I normally get that message if I delete something and try and reupload it.
civic sentinel
Hmm, yeah if you try and upload it normally works for me.
Just click on Attach again.
bleak basalt
nope just gives me the same erroer message
civic sentinel
You should be able to still Build & Publish and ignore the error.
bleak basalt
yeah I click it
"future proofing content"
gives me an audio ring and nothing happens
except that error message
tropic vortex
Oh I needed to bake the animation's parameters. That was what I was missing.
civic sentinel
Oh I have Future Proofing cut off lol.

cobalt mist
How to not let Cats removing my rigid bodies ?
Iam trying to import a motion, but i cant cause Cats "fix model" removes the rigid bodies
cobalt mist
I watched this tutorial. But after deleting the rigid bodies i cant import a motion anymore like him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWFvuRmTeFg
radiant crown
You dont need nor want rigid bodies for animations
I'm not sure what it is exactly that cats does to break mmd anims but when it comes to anims I only translate the model then rip the anim from the model in unity to use on a working model
If the animation's name contains any / or | you'll have to remove them before unity will let you rip an animation off a model
cobalt mist
how to you rip them? you mean you seperate both?
you just use the model to bring it to unity and then use the anim on a working model ?
radiant crown
I upload a fixed model to actually use as an avatar, and a mostly unchanged one that contains the undamaged anim file, convert both to humanoid them change the anims name if it has 'illegal or invalid characters' in it
After the name change is applied click the anim in the model's group and ctrl + D
Then this anim can be used on any other model as long as the bone structure is relatively similar
lapis ledge
yo how do I add sound to particle effects?
radiant crown
play on awake audio source
cobalt mist
i think i need some help for this, can i pm you ?
radiant crown
Sure
lapis ledge
uh wait do you have a tutorial for it? I wanna know how to get the sound I want, add it to unity, then add it to particle effects.
radiant crown
Get an mp3 or wav, convert it to an ogg if you can just so its a smaller file size but mp3 or wav will still work, make a hidden object to contain the sound, same disable enable stuff you do for your particles, the sound object will need an audio source
Audio source is applied the same way as avatar descriptor, just search for it with the sound object selected
lapis ledge
alright thanks
tacit latch
@radiant crown but what if the sounds always stop after 1 meter of distance?
ashen sedge
Q for height, T for rotation
radiant crown
You cant really fix distance on sounds with the forced defaults VRchat does now
The only thing you can really get away with is adjusting the volume with a sound editor like audacity, all else is in vrchat's hands
Also doppler but, who uses doppler?

how do I lower polygons in unity?

where's that option?

so the polygons are basically the tris or?
warm harness
@lapis ledge http://www.mesh-online.net/download.html
warm harness
but I'd still do it in Blender, it gives much more control

go to blender lower it
then upload it
solar relic
so.. I wana ask when doing animation... does it only apply to the parts u animate?
lapis ledge
:p
solar relic
like I only apply th animation to the head.
warm harness
well what would it do with the rest of the character?
so yeah, only parts you specify
solar relic
then. the legs,arms and body? what they do? I mean what animation? the deafult?
lapis ledge
wait that didnt lower it
warm harness
i mean, the animation applies to the whole model technically but you decide what moves by placing keyframes on the timeline
lapis ledge
uh @warm harness are the polygons the tris?
warm harness
depends
tris is what sdk cares about
you can have a poligon with any number of tris
lapis ledge
the tris is now 15k but unity still says the polygons are 22k
warm harness
as far as game engines are concerned, one tris = one poligon
solar relic
@lapis ledge theres mantisLodEditor.
warm harness
it means you have quads on your model
so you have 15k tris + a bunch of squares that are divided into poligons in unity
add a triangulate modifier in blender as a top one
lapis ledge
wait is that a tool i have to install or is it already smthing in blender
lapis ledge
wait dude i messed up
I clicked new scene
and now all the models i have are gone
in unity
not deleted.
I cant open em up again in unity without having to redo all the shit again rip
oof imma redo this, was fun anyways.
So it says tris here

u lost me
zinc hearth
I'm making a model with a Mesh I want to become a world particle
So a particle that's no longer attached to the model
Like the guns that shoot particles that become world particles
So they stay in the line no matter how it shoots
solar relic
particle can change from world or local
zinc hearth
Mind if I call to explain it's rather confusing
solar relic
Hmm... I havent figure it out yet, but local means ,it only appear to you.
zinc hearth
I know how to swap it over
I just need to learn the basics
Could you teach me local since I can make it world
solar relic
same, I wish I can upload models so I can test stuff
zinc hearth
Do you know how to do local particles?
solar relic
if im not wrong world is something that the particles will trail along with you
but as for local
it moves along with you but there aren't any trails
that what my friend said
zinc hearth
World means it detached from the area it originates from so if I move my hand it won't affect a particle

Why does your katana have an armature? Isn't it just one mesh and nothing more?
tulip thistle
it was a sheathed sword, I seperated the models but I guess the bones r still there or something
should I remake the model and remove the armature?
gaunt gyro
I still see no point in having an armature. If the sword has a housing, I would assume making 3 models:
- Sword inside housing
- Housing
- Sword
For default avatar, it has the sword inside housing partented to your hips (or whereever you put it) and on hand gesture, it has the sword parented to your hand, and the empty housing whever the other one was.

long explanation. SO. I've got this hairpin that has a outline i want to change colors, so i created an animation for the outline color, so it would loop forever and change colors, and attached the controller to my animator, but there is some sort of issue where the hairpin in-game stays green in the mirror, and for other people (i can also see this with 3d locamotion) the hairpin stays white.
also, when i press "play" in unity with the animation controller attached to my animator (attached to my player), it causes the model to "curl" up and its center body become level with the floor.

heres an example of the hairpin color animation working in unity,(but when i uploaded this, it didnt work in vrchat) , as stated above

ah okay so apparently creating things in a different order somehow made things different? i'm guessing its a bug with this version of unity, since the only difference was the order things were made in.
but its fixed now. so woot.
opaque orbit
@pure summit Animating characters in unity causes them to drop like that. Only way to fix it that I know of is to find an idle animation and add your desired animation effects to the idle
If you have VR it shouldn't matter
pure summit
well, i didnt do any of that, just changed the order i added the components/created the files
and it fixed

What you can do is duplicate the animation and drag it in to the hierarchy of the avatar you want to add the animation to and they'll have the properties setup @celest trout

i have a weapon that i spawn, it does an animation (grows) over the course of 11 seconds. When i turn off loop it weapon stays in my hand AFTER the animation ends. i just want it to go away untill the next time i activate the weapon. any ideas?

I'll do it on another mesh whenever I get around to making a new one

The problem is if that was your main avatar it won't upload to vrchat anymore as it gives "the legs are under the origin point error"
To do a quick save of the mesh try using mantisLOD editor

quasi gale
@opaque compass That's a typical problem with euler rotations. Since you're not rotating around 1 of the 3 cardinal axes, you get an unusual interpolation. Try adding an empty object where the crown is and parent the crown to it. Use the empty for the tilt so that the crown can rotate on a single axis inside of it.

guess this question is better off in here.... so ill repost it: ey, so i converted some motion files to anim files and theyre kinda long. but what happens is after like 30-45 seconds into one, it buggs out and tries to recenter on me while still doing the animation.... is there a hard cap on how long an animation can be before it tries to re orient to your descriptor?
and if so... how to bypass? 😛
junior dagger
Learning animation for the first time... been trying to use a simple model to practice with and I found a free animation on unity assest store.

copper rose
anyone know a way to get the shapekeys to show up in unity cause it aint working for me on a model im working on
little raft
@junior dagger did you make the animation on the original model?
avoid creating animations on the original model, duplicate the model, animate it, then place an animation override on your original model, this override will then take the animation inside
speaking of animations, anyone familiar with making custom emotes? I saw some custom emotes that would last 20 seconds top, but for whatever reason my custom emote doesn't last that long.
junior dagger
Oh okay. Lemme give that a shot then. Thank you!

I've spent the good portion of the day trying to figure out the secret behind that myself, @little raft Other people's animations (like dances) last the duration of what they made it, without the animation breaking or the characters head locking into place.

That is sorta of how it works currently I believe, I just recently started messing with it. Myself.
You have to assign the Trailsource: Poistion in the Draw animation.

Can I copy the shapekeys from one model to another?

Don't think so because they're usually attached the vertices of the that specific model

The other model is identical
dire tusk
Then I don't see why not, though if they're identical wouldn't the other model have the same keys?
old cave
I have a problem with the clothes of my character, blender fucked it
One have the keys, the other don't
but they are the same model
But the one with the keys is fucked by blender and the other is fine
dire tusk
I think clothes also have weight painting stuff attached the whole package
in addition to certain shape keys affecting them
old cave
This is my problem, I'll just copy and paste it
So regarding my model and the missing bits of his clothes, I was able to make the faces appear on the mesh through blender but it screwed some other stuff, like it made his glasses disappear and his hands were all weird, also the texture on the places were the polygons were not appearing messed up.
But my model is kinda weird on blender. On object mode he is normal, but on edit mode he goes upside down and he rotates, while the armature stay on the same place. Also, on edit mode he goes back to his pose pre Mixamo, not the t-pose that I setted when I downloaded him from Mixamo.
Is there a fix for this issue? I had finally made the lip sync of my character work and now this happened D:(editado)
Also, on paint 3D the exported .fbx model from blender apparently opens normally (although it opens withouth the textures so I can't know for sure if everything is ok on it)
So if I can't fix the model on blender I thought that maybe transfering the keys from the bugged model to the right one would work
Like, on Unity

Have 3 meshes. Standalone sword, standalone sheath, and sword-in-sheath. Put sword in hand and sword-in-sheath aswell as standalone sheath on your back. Disable sword and standalone sheath by default.
Make animation where you disable sword-in-sheath, and enable standalone sword and standalone sheath

when animating, how many frames make up a second
im trying to time an animation with audio
potent obsidian
Does anyone know how you do that cellphone trick? What I'm refering to is avatars that have a cellphone model and animation that lets them take 'pictures' that show up on the phone.
iirc that would just be FPS or Frames Per Second, @primal gull
So... 60? Or however many you want to make?
The smallest increment I've seen on Unity when making animations is a tenth of a second, though.
So I guess 10 would be a safer number.
gaunt gyro
They probably raised the origin of the avatar in the animation. But humanoids in VRchat overwrite leg bones, so it's nothing more than just walking in the air while your viewpoint remains on the ground.
In other words, you literally get this: https://puu.sh/z3MJm.gif

glad topaz
i re checked my custom hand gestures that im making, it seems for some reason some of the fingers werent staying the same when i made the 1 keyframe so i remapped them
ill check tomorrow if it worked but i feel like it did
thanks again
torn pawn
can make frame 0, then copy paste to frame 1

Can someone please help, I made this default animation where my tail wags in game but it doesn't actually wag. It works in unity https://imgur.com/a/Y7BF4 and works in the hovering over it thingy https://imgur.com/a/U9Pn3 but when you actually select the avatar the tail doesn't wag

Is there any way to modify the position of your hands with a animation override?
I made a reg avatar from made in abyss and his arms extend I have to somehow change the armature to have the same length as the animated arms
warm harness
@clear yew did you map this animation to idle in avatar's overrides?
nimble ridge
From what I know you can do it in another way easier @clear yew
Add an animation component to the character
Select the animation you want go to the top right above the gear and click the 3 lines select debug
Check legacy and put it to loop go back to normal mode and drop it in the animation component
nimble ridge
Did it work @clear yew ?

Does anyone know how I can make a blush effect? My model has a 'blunder' shape key but it just looks really blocky and bad.

Having issue with unity reverting a material change. Each time I record the animation it displays as fine but when I hit play or end recording it reverts a random material back to its previous material instead.

Having an issue with character animation, my character goes to the ground in game and animation not showing. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?
clear yew
did you make a duplacate of your avitar when you made the avatar animation?
prisma hornet
@clear yew Like particles that stay on the floor as snow?
clear yew
no like sphires that surround my avatar
prisma hornet
Not attached? So they don't turn with you?
clear yew
no they need to move with me but not turn
clear yew
?
clear yew
i am trying to make them into an animation but i dont know if i attach them to my modle if it will break them as another one did when i attached it to my hand
prisma hornet
They won't break, just put it under the parent if it's an aura
So there is only one parent above it
Outside of the armature and body otherwise they will 100% turn
Other than that I haven't looked into it much
I know that you can lock the axis somewhere
clear yew
so if i want them to surround my body where will i need to attach them to?
prisma hornet
Well it doesn't really matter
But personally I put it outside of the body and the Amature
Also because I make the mesh my body depending on the Particle
@clear yew Ohhh I believe it's Simulation Space
Change that to world
Instead of Local
Maybe

My character is getting glitched by blender. Some bits of his clothes are not appearing when I import him on Unity. I tried some things like recalculate the normals and flip direction on the places where the clothes are messed but no success. Anyone know how to help me?

Hi guys, im doing an animation pose where my character sits down on a chair. Where my a chair pops up and she does an emote, everything works but the sitting pose. Any ideas?
mystic umbra
I have the same issue with one of my idle animations in sitting pose
sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. most times it doesnt
I think the chairs are bugged because some people sit right throught the material and taller people can sitt on it normally

The arms of my character go right through his legs on the sitting pose
mystic umbra
has anyone here done a sitting idle custom animation that works 100% of the time
spice storm
any one how knows how to add a infinet loop in a animation (i never used unity before only have experiance with adobe)
maby by using a event script but idk
what im trying to do is to loop a spesific part of the animation
so that the start of the animation dousnt show the second time it loops
mystic umbra
I guess you can copy paste the shape keys of that specific moment to the end of your animation and extend your animation
spice storm
yah already did that... actualy if i make it long enough it might not be problem :3
haha thans ^^

weary cargo
Anyone know how to stop a longer hand animation from keeping on going ? it keeps playing if i let my hand gesture go
prisma hornet
@old cave Usually when that happens I atlas my materials and make them one.
@weary cargo Not possible, just make the animation shorter or 1 second.
Well from my experience anyway.
It would be possible if you can script or modify the Animator Controller

i have loop unchecked on the animation file
pure summit
so, i havent seen very many complex/in detail tutorials about creating emotes. I've seen all these people create massive emotes (like the megumin explosion) but nowhere online provides detailed context or tutorials on how to do stuff like this.
if anyone has any links/tutorials let me know.

i am having a problem with several overrides using several different objects. each one adds an object to a hand, and an object to my face/head. whatever i do, no matter how i set it up, the object in the hand always appears and everything related to that works fine, but the object on my head/face NEVER appears, no matter what i do. i even tried putting it on its own override and cant get it to work. is this something intended, am i missing something?

Can I not have two different legacy animations going at the same time?

@vernal juniper just taking a guess, but i think it is a particle system

jaunty gust
Hello all 😃 I'm trying to make a custom 'peace sign' animation for my avatar (default one has some weird thumb movement going on) by animating bones and overriding that gesture. (also adding facial expressions on it)
However, now I'm wondering how I can make it so that I can use my own peace sign on both my left and right hand without it having to be triggered at the same time. Is this possible?
Because I'm kinda scared that if I'm animating my right hand bones, it only will work on the right hand. (and the left hand will keep an idle position) And when I will animate both hands in the same animation file, both hands will do the peace sign when only one hand is triggering it
