any animation unity can open you can transform and use, on humanoid avatars you can only use animations that use humanoid rigs

Hey everyone, i have a question here, im working on an animation and i need to have a sphere type space that has the colors inverted, i dont know much about this but i tried this: i made a gameobject sphere and gave it an inverted color shader that i found, obviously the shader will apply only to one face https://scontent.faep9-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/27336264_1928514060495227_6670297661533152276_n.jpg?oh=6558804b207c3052b19dfd6d69340ea8&oe=5B1FFB09 and once i get inside the sphere, its back to normal https://scontent.faep9-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/27336317_1928514697161830_3411762113856572836_n.jpg?oh=fd2da2388fa758ead609e41c6579bef9&oe=5AE1802C the thing i need to know is how could i make the entire inner space of the sphere to have the inverted colours? so when people get inside the sphere, they can still see the inverted colors

i skimmed through it
you need to make the particle subemit an explosion

yes iti s me astriel
ye what i wanna know is how to trigger an explosion on collision
rancid furnace
have the original particle set to die when it collides and set it to subemit the explosion when death
next shard
@rancid furnace can i screenshare with you on discord or are you busy? XD
rancid furnace
So the rocket will hit the wall - die because it collided with something - and subemit the explosion particle where it died

Just making an instrument pop up with a gesture.
Regular 1 keyframe animation override with no effects.

Do those use the grip button? I have a rift, so I'm really just asking which gesture wont freak out when moving around.

In Unity, the blinks play and the other facial bits too, but in VRChat only the ending bit plays, while taking the same amount of time as if the blinks were playing.
Is there a time limit to animations or something?

I added a new override, replaced rock and roll with it (it just changes some key shapes and moves my fingers a bit, I have plenty others like it). However, It's very slow and repeating itself over and over. My eyes and mouth are constantly looping between normal and the the override.
After remaking the override and reuploading it's now happening to my other overrides too. I'm very confused.

@covert gale Is the animation 2 frames long? It should be 2 if you want to just hold the gesture for the shape keys to change as long as it's held

yes it's just 2 and- oh my jeebus when I looked at it I just now realized I forgot to remove the default second keyframe that Unity puts insorry for being an idiot

how to make custom blinking in unity that is ignored when hand gestures overwrites are done
south eagle
I have a weird issue with a model I imported from blender. The shapekeys are nowhere to be found when it's in unity, and it's after making the body 2 seperate meshes.
long ridge
did you decimate the face?
long ridge
so you cant see them on the mesh renderer in unity?
south eagle
Mhm
long ridge
that's weird
prime elm
join meshes, or use the other body mesh <.<
south eagle
The meshes were joined in blender before I exported it, still should be. and I've checked both of the meshes
one is the body, one is accessories and other bits and bobs
signal dove
How do I make seperate objects appear within the animation of another?
opaque orbit
Has anyone else been able to animate lights besides just turning them on in an animation?
signal dove
@long ridge If I select it from the heirarchy it ends recording. I can select it from the Add Property menu but I can't confirm
signal dove
Oh
placid oriole
I made my first animation and it's working but it's looping... any ideas ? 😄
long ridge
turn off looping?
signal dove
Can I activate an animation from within another animation?
long ridge
uhhh, you can set a game object to active that can then play it's own animation by default
@signal dove yes you can
okay so
placid oriole
ok loop was on let me check
long ridge
you can set it so an animation disables the animation component
or enables
so if you have an animation attached to something with the animation component, you can use an animation to disable/enable it, but only the thing it's attached to
signal dove
Does it have to be a legacy?
long ridge
tbh
i dont know the difference
i dont even know if it will work properly
i'm about to try it
for myself
opaque orbit
Hey @long ridge Do you know why an animation with lights would work in unity but not vrchat?
long ridge
no idea
opaque orbit
dang, lol
long ridge
i dont do particle/light stuff
opaque orbit
Been trying to make lights change color and it always seems to work in unity but vrchat hates me
opaque orbit
So for example, if I make an animation that changes the color property of a spotlight over time, it works unity but stays the same color in vrchat
limber epoch
right
opaque orbit
Or if I rotate a light in an animation, it works in unity but stays still or doens't turn on the lights in vrchat
limber epoch
maybe try point light?
opaque orbit
or If I turn a light on and off, it works in unity but not vrchat .-.
long ridge
remember to not test that kind of avatar stuff in hub because hub is scuffed sometimes
opaque orbit
Yeah I test it in avatar testing
opaque orbit
I could try point lights but I really want spotlights for a dancing animation I have
limber epoch
i had a computer animation that changed the light and it seemed fine
opaque orbit
Changed the lights color?
limber epoch
but um it wasn't glorius
yeah
it also was a while ago, so maybe they changed something?
opaque orbit
Weird, I've tried everything from using color property to hiding and uhiding different colored lights and they always break when uploading
works in unity just fine tho
placid oriole
I have my animation (10secs) on ROCKANDROLL and after I play it every other emote triggers that animation from the middle of it... what's wrong ? :/
limber epoch
wait so hiding/unhiding different lights didn't work?
opaque orbit
Nope, I uploaded an animation that just turned it on, and that worked. So all I changed was it turning off 5 seconds later and it sticks on
But it turns off in unity when the animation plays
limber epoch
becuase it is an animation override, I have noticed a couple weird behaviours
opaque orbit
If I literally do anything with a light besides turning one on at the beginning it doesn't work lol
limber epoch
@placid oriole do you mean that playing VICTORY emote triggers ROCKANDROLL?
placid oriole
@limber epoch I mean after I play my animation on ROCKANDROLL the next buttons will trigger that animation from the middle of it
limber epoch
what does the animation do exactly
placid oriole
my weapon comes from the ground to place above me and goes back to my hand
devout igloo
Can you use custom animations to permanently move both the player and camera to the animation's end location/position?
limber epoch
I think since gestures are blended and are suppose to be instant, longer animations don't work as intended
placid oriole
after I click anything it's already in my hand
placid oriole
Yeah but I saw so many ppl using similar stuff
limber epoch
so those are instant anims
longer anims (like 10s) will be blended
as in, there is a transition time, and part of the animation wont play
its how unity works, if you dive deep enough
placid oriole
hmm
placid oriole
You mean emote?
limber epoch
yeah
placid oriole
It won't be that fun like instant from your gesture but let me check
limber epoch
make sure it doesn't loop though, it will take forever to get out of it
@devout igloo i don't think so
placid oriole
it's working in emote but that's shame it can't work like that :/
limber epoch
yep

sand apex
@hardy hornet Did you duplicate the model before you made the animation?
hardy hornet
Yes.
@sand apex
I just follwed video tutorials on YouTube for it. Weird that it blinks when you try to upload/select in avatar selection
sand apex
Do you have multiple avatars in your hierarchy?
hardy hornet
Only 1
sand apex
Have you already tried starting over
hardy hornet
It's the 2nd model I've tried the blink animation and both got the same results
(Blinking only on upload/avatar select)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrfx3v45OJU
I followed this tutorial to be specific
sand apex
Can I see what your animation in inspector looks like
and just to add that you may need to double check the debug for your animation file so it looks like this http://prntscr.com/i8gghz
hardy hornet
sand apex
Also did you put in the controller that came with the animation clip?
celest trout
Have anyone of you guys encounters some slow gesture when you do gesture overrides?
hardy hornet
Oh I think that must be it. I'm not sure if I missed it or it was part of the video but I felt like that "none" on the controller should've contained something.
I'll try that out, thank you.
sand apex
no problem
celest trout
Like when spawning a sword with handgun, the hand takes a long time to return to normal position
sand apex
Exubunn that might mean there's a clip that doesn't have the frames right next to each other
celest trout
Oh my animations only have 1 frame for the overrides
should they have more than one?
sand apex
They should have 2 frames and they should be right next to each other
1 frame = 0.00 and the other frame should be 0.01
sand apex
both has to be the same
celest trout
Okay thanks
Another issue I have is when I make an object appear with rock and roll, when I stop the gesture and press another gesture it spawns the rock and roll gesture again.
I usually have to stop pressing anything for a few seconds and then everything is fine.
sand apex
that might also be due to the keyframes not being really short
celest trout
I see thanks I'll give that a try on my object active animations
cursive moon
Would there be any reason for an animation to play in Unity's playtest but not in VRC? I made a blink animation that blinks, blinks twice, blinks again, and then ends with a facial expression before looping, but only the facial expression plays in VRC despite the entire animation playing in Unity. The timing is as if the blinks were there, but they aren't.
sand apex
Animation length might be too long?
cursive moon
What's the maximum length?
Mine's about 21 seconds, but I knocked it down to 17 by reducing time between blinks and such
I'm testing right now with only 9 seconds
I have other avatars with ~11 second long blink cycles and they work fine
sand apex
yeah it could possibly be the long length
storm forum
Hmm.. so my face animations after a certain amount of time using them they glitch and get stuck so they are constantly playing is there a way to fix this?
sand apex
The safest length I can think of is around ~11 as well
You could mess around until you find the cap off though if you still want to try to expand on it
cursive moon
Even with 7.5 seconds the blink refuses to play
sand apex
@storm forum what does your timeline for the face animation look like? and is it checked for legacy and loop?
sand apex
@cursive moon Did you double check the animation timeline to see if it plays good
and np
cursive moon
lemme try making the key frames longer...
https://gyazo.com/e4b937e0fb8c510e8e516616000dab47
Here it is working in the playtest
https://gyazo.com/e4b937e0fb8c510e8e516616000dab47
Here's the timeline
sand apex
Just curious you're using the controller that came with making the blinking animation right?
Also they're the same link so I haven't seen the timeline yet
cursive moon
The controller that came with making the blinking animation...
whadya mean by that?
Also sorry, here's the timeline
sand apex
Whenever you duplicate the model and make an animation clip for it there should be a controller that comes with it
cursive moon
oh? Okay, I think I know what you're talking about, but I've never used that on any of my other avatars that blink. Am I supposed to?
sand apex
I don't know, a tutorial I saw always did it so I just did it ever since, it might make a difference for you
cursive moon
okay, so throw that into the Controller for the animator?
sand apex
yeah in your original
cursive moon
alright
uhh
Since I animated on the duplicate, she's transformed downward, so if I put the duplicate controller on the original she also comes down
at least, in the playtest

Does anyone have any experience with the animation file thing exported with Noesis when exporting as .fbx?
clear yew
can someone help me
cursive moon
Depends on the problem
sand apex
Batter did it work out?
cursive moon
not really
so I noticed I have two eye bones for each eye
Eye_L and LeftEye, and I assume CATS made one of those when I was setting up eye tracking
maybe I'm using them wrong and thus can't blink in VRC?
I'm just so confused by this because the animation works in Unity
sand apex
When you make eye tracking you always want to disable eye blinking if you wanted to make your own
sand apex
I think so, there should be a video somewhere if you don't know how to do it
icy hazel
cats made two eyebones cause there was this eyetracking bug where you need a real eye and a fake eye
and if you wanted that to work you were supposed to bind the real ones
cause otherwise it went derp
then i also hear of more eyebugs rn
cursive moon
the naming conventions of my model point to the real ones being Eye_L, so I should rig that to the avatar in Unity?
final wasp
hey quick question, how do I get the animation file for the custom dances I see people doing in game? like the solid snake guys for example.
or where do I get it?

thank you
hardy hornet
@sand apex Still doesn't work, sadly.
Eyes still don't blink.
Just want to ask, do I need VR for this?
sand apex
Nope
Just curious did you try the eye tracking thing in blender before you tried this?
hardy hornet
No I didn't.
Should I?
The first model I used had that eye tracking system and it doesn't blink
So I tried on this second one without the eye tracking
Sadly it's still not blinking
sand apex
Oh well I'm not sure then, it might be one of those things where you missed a step or it might not just work on the avatar in general
hardy hornet
Oh I see. Well, it doesn't matter much. Thanks a lot for trying to help. I appreciate it!
nocturne radish
Can somone with animation override experience help me out a bit?
I have a completely Custom Avatar with Custom animations
thigns work as expected with a generic rig and custom animation controllers
however when using a humanoid rig with proper animations via Animation Override, they play back in unity correctly, but in VRC they're offset strangely
i'm probably doing somthing wrong but i'm not quite sure
limber epoch
@nocturne radish did you bake the transforms into the animation?
great animation btw
nocturne radish
thanks, the aniamtions are done in 3ds, they're baked on export i believe
they playback just fine in unity
and they playback fine with a generic rig
hmm
limber epoch
there is a setting in unity for importing the animations
if they aren't transferring, check there
nocturne radish
do you believe its a root transformation issue?
i'll play around with the values and see if anything changes

How to edit a idle animation, cause i got it from mixamo , but on my model the hand goes through the body
pliant plank
@nocturne radish i heard that the IK broke custom animation overrides for things like idles and walk animations
Having it disabled may fix the issue

besides IK's toggled on the animation cotroller right?

Unsure, only way i know of disabling it is via literaly breaking due to lack of fingers on one hand

how do i make the muzzle animation in particle additives not a 2d image coming out when using images?
the falprofessional video made no sense on this
scenic sleet
Hello, was wondering if anyone can help me with this. I got most of this to work so there's likely an easy fix to this problem im having with this animation override im working on.
Easiest way to put it, my gun shoots as soon as it's pulled out. How would I go about having it brought out without having it fire automatically, yet fire on will?
And I was just watching a video on that muzzle animations from FAL. Looked like he put a rotation on the 2D image, then sped up the particles to give it an illusion of a 3D effect?
rustic jewel
for props with animations like that, i have one animation override which enables the prop (gun), and another animation which enables the gun and the soudn effect
cedar root
As far as I know the easiest way to accomplish that is to set the gun shooting animation/sound on a different override. And then triggered with whatever hand you don't have the gun in. So for example you could have the gun mapped to "finger gun" and then have the shooting animation map to rock and roll or something like that
Then just trigger it with whatever hand isn't holding the gun so you'll keep the gun out and also trigger the shooting animation

I have a problem and I wanted to ask here.. cause I'm more than 2 hours trying to fix this... I made an animation, where passes 14 seconds and the hair of my character becomes longers.. then 40 seconds more and it becomes more longer. I put that on my animation override I created, to do it whenever I want, but tried everything and not working, the Animation.enable, the animation.playautomatically... don't know what to do, If I only do Animation.enable on the override, it will show how my hair changes, yes, but the time is not resetting to 0 when I stop doing the emote.
I mean, if I stop , and want to do it again, I have to wait 14 seconds to become long. but that's not happening, it's already on the longest form, it's like animating in the background. And if I don't "Play automatically" and make a Animation.Playautomatically on the animationoverride it won't even work... Can someone please help me?

hi does sombody knows a Tutorial how to make super saiyan aura and kamehamehaaa beams stuf? am using unity/blender
small tapir
I have a question, can i make an emote and my body disappears and it just shows particle effects? "like i exploded"
halcyon dirge
@crisp valve
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qShjsxopbfQ Fire animation, just mess around with the density
It's roughly the same idea with the actual ball of energy, just make the lifespan longer, and the duration shorter.
@small tapir You should be able to, yes.
Hide the body, should do it.
small tapir
@halcyon dirge I will have a look at that thanks, i'm very new to the animation part, only thing i made is a weapon like everyone else have haha
halcyon dirge
^^
small tapir
Pretty funny why i need to do this, i use a sackboy and a guy have been trying to pull down my zipper and im going to show him what happens haha
halcyon dirge
xD
crisp valve
@halcyon dirge is not what am looking for am searching more for super saiyan ground aura effects wide

@crisp valve https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aBb3tXqdC8 Better?
small tapir
Oh i may take a look at that too 😄
crisp valve
gonna try thaht one thx
halcyon dirge
^^
small tapir
@halcyon dirge Because i don't want my avatar to be in the emote i can just hide my avatar all together and then just add the animation the the override? or do i need to put it on my avatar like with my weapon?
bad english sorry
halcyon dirge
You are refering to the effect yes?
hot orbit
How do i make an animation not move after a certain point
halcyon dirge
What were you thinking?
@hot orbit
Like a ball, that stops in the middle of the air, or it just stops the animation`?
clear yew
does somebody has a slav squat animation ? will be appreciated 👌
send me pm if you got one and want to share
hot orbit
But it's all tied to a gesture, there will be other changes done to the model too
@halcyon dirge
fluid crescent
Does anyone know why my avatar custom animation feet IK doesn't work in game?
halcyon dirge
@hot orbit I would recommend leaving the wings open, and upon doing the emote, they flap (or when pressing a button), since that would be the "zero"/Starter - point.
hot orbit
So there's no way to have them spread open from a closed state, and remain open during the animation?
halcyon dirge
@clear yew I mean, you can always make it yourself? Since it's just an idle animation, it should be easy enough.
@hot orbit No matter what you do, (unless they are in a constant movement loop) they'll revert back into a zero'ed state (the state that they are in pre-animation).
clear yew
im not good at making animations , in fact i dont even know how
halcyon dirge
@hot orbit If you wish to give loop animation a try, this will explain the basics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXU12lIqcfE
@clear yew The link I just posted about "Tail wag" will show you how to start animating, other than that, it's basicly just rotation the avatar's bones into the wished position.
clear yew
thanks ill try

old cave
After using CATs to "fix" my model on blender unity only detects his fingers on the Mixamo's rig, anyone know why? Is there a way to reset the changes made by CATs?
left bobcat
Hello! I have a question. How do I make the character hover above the ground? I have the hovering animation and hover idle animation. But there is a problem. When my character idles his head goes to the place where the original head is so it looks like everything below the head is hovering but the body makes question mark pose because the head doesn't want to hover.
@old cave ctrl+z The only way I did it
pliant plank
I think shader changes via animations is impossible
left bobcat
I guess noone knows about my question XD
Time for some more experiments...
gaunt gyro
@left bobcat Make your animation character static. Hover animations is not possible on humanoid avatars due to how VRchat overrides certain bones and positions.
fallen rampart
More like how vrchat uses unity inverse kinematics - meaning physics
ocean knot
update on yesterdays question.. i am having an issue with animation overrides where if an object is set active on my face/head as part of the override it will NOT appear whatsoever. i found out yesterday that it actually does appear for other players, just not me, presumably because its on my face/head. i am not using a mirror to check for its presence, i am using a camera and still dont see it. is this intended? any way to bypass it?
fallen rampart
that's odd. It could be the vr viewport bubble
you will clip through geometry if that comes in contact with anything in a radius
if you're not using double sided faces then that could be why
ocean knot
i've tried with several objects including glasses and masks and they just wont "spawn" in on my client, but other people can see it just fine
i've seen other people with glasses on their avatars face that they can interact with and it seems to work okay, so its confusing me a little
fallen rampart
that's uber strange for things like glasses - but what they're doing is using "active" inactive"
so, for example, the glasses are "active" normally
ocean knot
it's not a big deal since i dont really need to see it, it's just very odd
fallen rampart
then they have an animation that makes them "inactive" and an instance of the object on their hand "active"
ocean knot
yeah. in a way i'm sorta doing the opposite where it's inactive on my face until i use the override.
fallen rampart
so they're not -really- interacting with it
yeah, that normally works. I do that with my headphones
(I have objects that play music and other things in a real mapped way)
but I can tell you that unless you're using HQ mirror you will not see it
ocean knot
yeah. i was using a camera that i knew would let me see objects as i was waving other overrides around and those worked fine. i actually was so frustrated because i thought the mask/glasses werent appearing at all
then i accidentally left the glasses on one of the overrides, and somebody made a passing comment about them while i was playing. and i was like wait..
fallen rampart
humm. Try leaving the object active then enter the game and look at a mirror. It should work like any other mesh prefab. If it doesn't, your cached version of your character might not be showing it and you may need to flush it
I spawn into a personal room with just a mirror and a chair and some spotlights to check things - sometimes you'll see a shadow of some geometry before you can see the object itself
also with the new sdk testing is fixed
ocean knot
yeah i'll try mess around with a few things to see if i can find out how to control it. it will be interesting to see if i attach effects/sounds, if they will spawn in for me
fallen rampart
Sounds always seem to work for me as long as it's the object they're attached to being activated and not the sound itself. The sound is set to play on wake and the object it's on is simply made active.
ocean knot
yeah, that's what im going to try
small tapir
Can't figure out how to make this an animation and emote, been trying but my avatar only ends up in the ground and no particles. https://imgur.com/a/BwTYV
torn pawn
you do animation on the duplicate
and enable it with an override, frame 0 and 1 has to be the same
and please don't make the animation laggy
if you can't make shit that runs decent - learn how to optimize it or don't do it at all
small tapir
It uses about 120 particles is it to much?
small tapir
I always test them, i know how i make it work as a weapon but don't want that just beacuse it's easy to start that's why i what to make it an emote
gaunt gyro
Particles don't cause lag if it's just a sprite. It depends how you configure it and if it contains collisions. The amount of particles can be pretty high without a problem.
small tapir
@gaunt gyro Do you know anything i should not do so i know if i did it?
gaunt gyro
No, I'm a newbie if it comes to particles myself. I was afraid my animation would cause lag, but apparently it works as smooth as a knife through butter. And it has a total of about 2000 particles.
Some people have shown me nukes with 6 million particles. THAT is causing lag. 
gaunt gyro
But yeah, this doesn't lag at all: https://puu.sh/z9Esg.png
warm harness
hey friendos, I need someone to stop me if I'm going to screw up my idle animation. I want my cat to gently wag her tail when standing around. I think I have to create an animation, set up the movement, put it in Legacy mode + Loop, then plug it into a new Animation component on my avatar. Is that it? Or should I put it as IDLE override like emotes and gestures? Anything to look out for? I've done custom emotes and gestures, but not idles/walks. Edit: I used an animation component and it works nicely.
ornate edge
is there a way to add more than one animation. every time i put an animation on my model that one is working but the one before doesnt work anymore
meager marten
@warm harness I would set it as your Idle animation in the Overide control
I get my idle animations from Loliking's discord, so if you need a template, I would check there

Can't figure out why i can't get my particles to work

@grand mango Hey Tupper, is there a reason why my dance emotes are canceling out before they are supposed to be done?
cursive moon
I'm looking to replace the default emotes with just some facial expressions - do I have to watch out for spontaneously teleporting into the ground, or am I good by just adding the facial expression and slapping that animation into the override?
meager marten
@cursive moon of everyone I have talked to about facial expressions on the emote slots(including personal experience) I can tell you that you will most likely teleport into the ground
cursive moon
so I should add a translation upwards to the animation too?
cursive moon
I wish I could, but I don't have VR
meager marten
unless of course u dont have VR
cursive moon
yeah
meager marten
in which case, too bad so sad I think
cursive moon
I'm working on that, in like the next week I'll have one, but it was just a temporary fix I guess

final sphinx
is there anyway to speed up an imported custom animation?
turbid sorrel
is it just me, or is it if you try to make an animation on emotes instead of gestures, your character just bends downwards on itself? Is this because gestures involve just the hands usually and emotes are the whole body meaning we have to animate the entire body?
stray sinew
If you do Emote overrides, I believe you'll need to reset the body structure since VR doesn't have override control with emotes.
clear yew
@turbid sorrel select 'bake into pose' and 'original' in unity's animation editor for your emote animations, I think

You could just make an emote to "activate" it with the sphere increasing and disappearing and then other one to "turn it of " doing the opposite

Alright soim still running into this issue when i do hand gestures and face animations after i use them for a certain amount of time my face animations stick and will constantly be active the hand gestures will be fine but the one face animation will stick and i wont be able to get it to stop. Ive tried putting it to legacy and looping it but that just breaks the animation. and @sharp cove if your talking about like a blink or someting you need to add a animator compnent to your main model and then drag your animation you want to the animation slot in that animator component

No
I want it in my avatar
So if i where to say export it
It would export with said animation

I added an object with an animation to appear on my model when my model loads, but when I look in a mirror I can only see the object, and not my model. Does anyone know what causes this?

So, whats the proper way to override a weapon now?
I would normally just drop in a weapon to my characters hand, hide it, go to animation and make an animation to unhide it. But I can't get that to work now

@clear yew Did you try remaking the override controller?
clear yew
Not yet
shell quest
I had my override break once and reduplicating the override controller from the vrcsdk and remaking it fixed it
clear yew
Just to make sure I have that correct, your saying to reduplicate the 'CustomOverrideEmpty.overrideController'
shell quest
Yep
clear yew
Ok, I'll give that a go!
I've asked this before too, but, this character also doesn't have any fingers mapped,could this be why I'm not getting overrides?
shell quest
Does it have wrists mapped?

It should still work, let me test something really quickly
Okay I just unmapped the fingers of one of my avatars and it broke the overrides, so it looks like that is the problem

Ah! yes! thanks for that info, I was going crazy
So, I guess for my model in particular I just need to make bones that aren't painted and maybe it will work

custom override aniamtions that arent just two of the same frames? i wanna do an actual animation that plays when you hold down trigger, and stops when you let go?
heavy stirrup
On the note of emotes, mine are playing in loop despite being unchecked, do they need to be legacy?
gaunt gyro
Then make that animation and overwrite it with HANDOPEN
No wait, with trigger you mean fists I guess? So that should be HANDFIST
clear yew
well
ive already put an animation onto an override
and it stays there and loops
and wont go away
gaunt gyro
Then make it not loop?
clear yew
oh wait sorry
the idea is
it loops for as long as you hold it
will turning loop off still accomplish that?
gaunt gyro
I think so. Since it will still trigger while you hold the same gesture
Because animations with only 1 frame still loop aswell right? They won't go away aftee that 0.01 sec
heavy stirrup
So, i searched back a couple weeks in this section, and despite the looping emotes question being asked about 20 times, nobody seems to have answered any questions regarding why they are with Loop unchecked.
Actually, some suggest the issue only exists on generic, non-humanoid rigs
cedar root
So I've seen some animations where people Have multiple copies of them self or even other avatars dancing and I'd like to do this myself (don't worry I won't be bothersome with them like some people are. I'll mostly just use it when in private world's with friends) and so I made a copy of myself on each side linked it to my original armature and attached a dance animation. Then in the animator properties I linked them so that the first animation should automatically also trigger the other 2 and it seemed like it was working in unity. So I set the dance on my main to replace one of my emotes (which as set up in unity should trigger the other 2 to also simultaneously dance). But when I trigger it in game it doesn't triggered the animation for the 2 extras and they just stand in T pose while the one that is actually me dances
So is there an easy way to accomplish this or do I have to build it all into 1 animation file?
And if I have to put it all in one file is it possible to somehow copy and paste the dance for each avatar somehow or do I have to build it manually for the other 2 since they obviously have their own set of arms and legs and whatnot?
Any advice or tutorial links would be greatly appreciated

I guess that is still the question tho so if i have items in the animation does it get put on loop or no?
icy hazel
um what am i doing wrong when adding a mixamo idle animation to a model? cause i thought all i had to do was plug CustomOverrideEmpty into the avatar descriptor and plug the anim into that in the Examples folder...
pseudo pewter
You also need to but the that controller on your avatar in stand/sitting slot
icy hazel
yea that was the first thing
pseudo pewter
Also it's better if you don't directly plug it into the CustomOverride but a duplicate of that instead
Hmn
signal dove
You drag and drop the replacement animation into the custom override empty fields
and yes, a dube is better
pseudo pewter
Does your avatar have the same bones that the mixamo animation is using?
signal dove
I have a question. What's the length limit on emotes and why have I seen custom animations much longer than whatever the limit is?
pseudo pewter
Emotes are 10 seconds ( I think) whereas for gestures I'm not sure
Did you see like a dance animation?
signal dove
These were custom emotes over the ten second limit

Like that little dog guy that floats up into the sky
Okay, my clip is under 10 seconds but it gets cut off

I believe I've seen people do this before but I'm not sure how. Can you use an animation file to start as a preset and then save it as a different file as you change things you want? I have a file where my fingers are a fist, and I want to use that for another animation but also add things to it without overwriting the first file
heavy stirrup
Erm, you can copy and paste keyframes between animations?
Not sure if that's as simple as you want.
@short oxide In regards to looping emotes, i finally found a solution for my own model. Firstly, the model must be set to humanoid and not generic or any other in the rig. Secondly, it needs to have a proper T-pose bone setup.
For my non-humanoid, i created a set of fake bones in a T-pose design and after making sure my animations held no Armature or other bones linked to my line of fake humanoid skeleton my emotes finally no longer were looping. They were a bit off-center but that's fixable.

someone told me maximum emote time was 10sec... i made a 9sec animation and it cut off at like 8sec

okay, so you said you have the two copies, both different fbx files? to have it remove they do have to be two seprate files. so in the animation tab add both of them. Then only check the one you wish to have in your hand. I'm sure you have. just checking.
pale warren
okay
pale warren
so no you want them both to be different meshes
torn pawn
i mean yea, i have a Body mesh and a Hat mesh, where hat is disabled, and other fbx hat is enabled
aight, ill boot up vr and check
maybe i fixed it and didnt check in camera
pale warren
so in the hierarchy you have it unchecked as well? the hat you wish to be off when that animation starts.
I have been having issues myself with animtions today, just not showing up for some reason. anything new that i made since last night.
torn pawn
in hierarchy it's enable, as it should be on my head
pale warren
well on the second one with the animtion, to remove the hat have it unchecked
pale warren
i have what your doing on a few guns
torn pawn
i've done lots of overrides with enabling/disabling stuff, but not one yet where it "reappears" in a different location
pale warren
so your not wanting it to disappear off your head and into your hand?
torn pawn
i want it to disappear from head
if you're saying that i need to disable it in the duplicate hierarchy, then that's the problem most likely
pale warren
yes it should be disabled in the dup
mirrors don't work so you will have to get someone to look at it for you
torn pawn
i mean the cameras work in avatar test room
pale warren
not working for me lol
torn pawn
i can see my lewd hentai mahazines there 😏
i mean ill see
if this doesn't fix it then i'll ask some1 to check
small tapir
I have an Particle system that have 5.00 in Duration, and im making an animation should i still put the end frame on 0:01?
small tapir
Okey just making sure i did it the right way. 😃
pale warren
Mind if i ask a question, it worked before when i did it, but since i wanted to update the animtion i can't keep any of them to play anymore lol.
so I'm making some jets to fly out and past me with sound, it's a different seprate object was able to get them to work before, maybe now i'm just tired and am missing something simple myself, but no matter what i do i can't get them to trigger in game. character asks like an animtion is playing. but non of the effects or models show. could just be forgetting to uncheck something or check a button, just any help would be great. Getting annoyed with it not wanting to work all of a sudden lol.
torn pawn
@pale warren ok so yes apparently it is the thing that I didn't disable it in duplciate hierarchy, and mirrors do not show disabled objects from what it seems (other person could not see it on my head on the one of verrides i had )
i'll add 3 more overrides and see if they all work, thanks ❤
pale warren
Np glad i could help ^_^ @torn pawn
torn pawn
now to think of what she can pull out of the hat 😏 so much lewd
torn pawn
i love my quantum field theory book on my schoolgirl miku
nope, it's hentai magazine cover
pale warren
I'm sure you will have something great coming out of it lol. hope to see what someday.
torn pawn
yeah, i'll most likely end up with more than 3 versions where all gestures are taken
pale warren
it's all okay i dont have gestures anymore lol
torn pawn
rip
pale warren
i used all mine for weapons and effects
torn pawn
it's hard when your gestures are taken with enable triggers, you just keep triggering random shit
also q, if I have a hat disabled in duplicate hierarchy, is the disable object property still needed? (I'd guess it is)
pale warren
yes it is.
torn pawn
yeah, better to double check
too easy to make stupid mistakes and then search for the cause..
frank parcel
hello
torn pawn
hello
frank parcel
YES FINNALY SOMEONE SAID HELLO TO ME
k ignore that
i wanted help with something
bassically i want to change one of the emotes with a downloaded dance animation
pale warren
Ctl+j
torn pawn
i think you copy from VRCsdk folder http://prntscr.com/i97mxn and just put that in your emote slot, then put this controller in your avatar descriptor standing anims?
i havent done mixamom emotes
pale warren
make sure to select the meshes you want joined @hexed fern
torn pawn
so i might be wrong
frank parcel
i have tried a simillar thing already
hexed fern
i pretty much want the entire thing joined
final sphinx
Isa there no left strafe overide in the custom controller?
frank parcel
bassically i went to mixamo
pale warren
so just select everything and hit Ctl+j
frank parcel
then just downloaded the animation with a charather and then i got the override thing
and then when i clicked on EMOTE 1
i searched for that dancing animation
frank parcel
even tho it was in a charather's folder
i could still choose it
and i did
then i had EMOTE 1 as that dancing animation
and then i put the override thing into the avatar descriptor
but then i went in game
after the whole waiting uploading thing
and i tried out every emote
but everything was the same
hexed fern
http://prntscr.com/i97ozl it duplicated the top for some reason
and now that one thats farther back is joined to the stick
pale warren
shouldn't dup anything.
hexed fern
idk why it did, i never had that one there
pale warren
Did you make it?
hexed fern
but whenever i try to join any of them it tells me theres no mesh data to join and yes i made it
pale warren
do a box select and keep your cursor in the render sreen and hit ctl j. sometimes, when the meshes are selected in a weird way it doesnt think you have a more then one selected.
pale warren
ctrl b
by bad just b lol
need to get some sleep here lol
can't type for anything anymore
hexed fern
http://prntscr.com/i97scy is it just me or does the center part look off-centered
http://prntscr.com/i97skl its supposed to look like this btw
pale warren
so you can center them as well should say in the transform tab if they are off, or you can do shift+ctrl+alt+ C kinda hard to do because it weird and select
oh and select geometry to origin
hexed fern
Ok, now is it possible to texture them when they're seperate in blender? thankfully i got smart and saved a .blend file before i merged them
pale warren
yes.
hexed fern
I already know the green shield part in gonna be done in unity mostly due to it being stransparent
but yay 😄
frank parcel
anyone could help?
hexed fern
and i just realized there's a cone part i forgot to add, xD
pale warren
what's up jon?
frank parcel
i need help with animations(notcreating them)
hexed fern
So, how do i cut a hole into a mesh using the knife tool and not have it be messy looking?
pale warren
alright i can help with that.
hexed fern
Wait, i figured it out xD
pale warren
okay lol
frank parcel
ok so bassically i i went to mixamo
then i downloaded an animation with a random char
its a dancing animation
pale warren
so you want a movement from mixamo as an emote?
frank parcel
i have this
this is a charather i made
it already has gone through blender
and is in the game and works
and i have this dancing animation(the gokueh thing)
it has the animation in it
so what do i do now
i already duplicated my char incase something goes wrong
and i made the main thing invisible
pale warren
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsfdJVOVI70 Let me just shoot you this, shows the steps from mixamo to putting it on your avatar. may be easier to follow then me explainning. should it still not work or you don't quite understand just send a message and ill try to help a little better.
frank parcel
i watched a simillar video and i saw this exact video in the tab
lol see
but when i import my char
pale warren
people have a few tuts thankfully on the things. just hard to explain everything in text, i don't do mixamo thing, as for my animation are all done in unity.
frank parcel
ohh k
pale warren
but i have done one dancing animation. but i made that in blender lol
but that's funny it was in your tab lol
hexed fern
http://prntscr.com/i985t7 I try to texture each piece but it only lets me texture one
and the meshes are not joined yet
oh wait, it let me texture another part
pale warren
Sad part is when it doesn't take it after that long wait, from what i hear mixamo donesn't seem to like things to much.
hexed fern
but it textured the stick instead
the part that is highlighted with the orange border is the gem however
but if i try to texture other parts, it'll texture another random part
not the one i have highlighted
frank parcel
yesterday i waited an hour and it was still going
mixamo fix ur shit
IM SO TRIGGERED
AND IT JUST KEEPS GOING
hexed fern
I honestly don't know what would be wrong with it, i don't know much about using mixamo, it might be the model itself or the server just sucks
frank parcel
this is what i get when i try to download while its loading
it is the god damn char
i picked one of the chars from the mixamo list
and it loaded immediately
but my char doesnt load
waht the fuck
its an fbx
from belnder
blender
im so fucking triggered

I am not sure if this is a bug on my end or not, but for both of my most recent avatars their walking animations look like they are limping. Like one leg is shorter than the other.
Does anyone know a fix for this?
ruby minnow
the default hand animations stretch the fingers on my avatar in some weird ways
is the only option for me to manually override every hand animation?
short oxide
@heavy stirrup thank you so much for solving my problem!
