That animation tab lets you export it out of the FBX. If you can't dupe it, try that.
fluid crescent
how to make model play sound when he does animation?
quiet needle
Add an audio source to your model (disabled by default) and enable it in the animation. @fluid crescent
fluid crescent
@quiet needle how do i enable it in the animation?
quiet needle
The audio source will be a game object attached to your armature. Just open up the "Add Property" option in the animation tab and go to where you dropped the audio, then choose the + for "Is Active" and check the box (Needs to be checked on both ends of your animation)
**** Make sure you're using a dummy/animation puppet before doing this, as your rig t-pose will break ****
fluid crescent
thanks @quiet needle i got it
obsidian vigil
Yo @quiet needle is there a reason why we have to remove the script at the bottom of the audio source before we can upload to vrc?
quiet needle
Because VRChat team has disallowed the use of ONSP audio components in a recent patch.
it was causing some bugs.
wind sandal
So can anyone here help me with a .VMD problem
quiet needle
What kind of VMD problem?
hardy hornet
Is there any way to import those walking/idle animations in Mixamo to your character in VRChat and replace it with those? I've always wondered.
wind sandal
I am trying to export a vmd as an fbx. But after I import it into blender, the model’s feet are anchored to the center of blender scene
How would I fix this?
final gazelle
@hardy hornet Mecanim (the thing controlling a lot of the automatic animations for humanoid rigs in Unity) seems to override a lot of bone-rotation based animations with its muscle system, so guessing it's very likely that even if you were to import the animations, it gets jammed up by the system
obsidian vigil
Damn @quiet needle is doing High Quality support +rep
final gazelle
i want to know how to get custom idle/walk animations on humanoid rigs as well, but it's even jamming up my animations which were meant for non-humanoid bones
hardy hornet
I see. Just recently I saw some guy using a Naruto model (who doesn't have a VR) went and did that Naruto ninja run lol so I wondered
final gazelle
he might be bypassing it entirely if he's using a generic rig, or has actual VR (he might just be doing that pose in real life)
quiet needle
I'm going to post this here in hopes that it gets some visibility - VMD animations use the MMD bone name to control your model's motions. Unity uses the bones assigned in the rig configuration screen to reassign those motions to the rig. The easiest way to get a VMD into Unity is to add it onto a stock (unmodified, except translation of bones and shape keys. Important note: Do NOT modify any bone names, model scale, or any other settings if you can avoid it as this may break your animation) MMD model in Blender, then export it to an FBX and it will have the animation baked on when you get into Unity. You can then configure the rig for your model, which will take some tinkering, and once you have the rig set up, go to the animation tab on the asset/rig section of your FBX file and export the animation from the model from there. You will want to delete the FBX file with the baked animation as it will likely be unusable for a VRChat avatar. It was simply a dummy model to get the animation into Unity so we could convert it to work with normal/optimized models.
Keep in mind that MMD has a pelvis/groove bone, and unity does not. You will lose any hip sway and may need to add it back into the animation manually if it impacts your animation enough to warrant.

^can a mod pin that message pls? 😛
quiet needle
@hardy hornet I have a naruto ninja run animation xP
Just have to set it as the default run override and it's in.
hardy hornet
Oh, do you mind telling me how does that work? I'm not looking for the ninja run animation but I'm looking to import one from Mixamo xd
I haven't explored that part of animation yet and seem to not find anything about it via google search
muted prairie
@quiet needle can you edit your second sentence into the paragraph so i can pin it ?
quiet needle
So basically all you'd need to do is get the .anim file into unity, then set up an animation override sheet from the VRC SDK animation examples. If you're not sure how to do animation overrides, I'd suggest watching a tutorial. Basically just set the .anim as the RUNFWD override file and it will be your new running animation.

I tried importing a running animation bit i have vr and that made it look extremely derpy

It may react strangely with VR users.

Oh, you're talking about that "CustomOverrideEmpty" . I remember trying to put one before but it seemed to not work though I guess it's because it was my first time on VRChat back then lol .I'll give that a try again. Thanks xd
And yeah, I read on the net that it's bad for people with VR

Quick Question:
What does RUNSTRAFELT135, RUNSTRAFELT45, RUNSTRAFERT135, RUNSTRAFERT45, STRAFELT135, STRAFELT45, STRAFERT135 and STRAFERT45 in the animation override mean? The number behind it confuses me.
quiet needle
It's an angle
running 135degrees left or right, 45 left or right, in run and walk motions.
old trail
Ahh thanks!
quiet needle
@scarlet mauve It's going to depend on how the animations are set up. It looks like some of those have audio components tied to them, which means you'll need to at least know the basics of animation creation to get them set up and working. I'd suggest the video I just posted up above.
scarlet mauve
actually, none of them have audio components, it's just the animation file
quiet needle
Then you should be able to just set them up as an animation override. Find the "CustomOverrideEmpty" file in the SDK animations examples folder, duplicate it and add it to your model folder, drag the animation to the gesture you want to override, then drag the override itself into your model's avatar descriptor under the overrides section.
hardy hornet
You download the music from the link the guy provided on the site then just add an audio source
scarlet mauve
Like, i already have the controllers set up, and override the EMOTE1,EMOTE2,etc
but how to add the audio to the specific animation?
hardy hornet
I was able to make the getdown myself by just importing MMD motion files but I had to make a separate model for it
quiet needle
You'll have to edit the animation file. You'll need an animation controller set up to do that, then drag the .anim file onto the armature using the controller (your dummy/puppet) and it will show up on the cliplist for editing. Add the audio file as a game object to your hierarchy somewhere and set it to disabled, then "Is Active" in the animation.
hardy hornet
So right now I have two models. One that automatically plays Get Down upon switching to it and one that moves normally. I still need to find out how to make it all in one.
Oh, so it is possible?
quiet needle
the process I just mentioned
scarlet mauve
So, i dragged the controller into my avatar's ''Animator'' and ''Custom Standing Anim''
hardy hornet
Yeah, I'm glad to hear that. Thanks a lot, I'll go spend some time to merge those.
quiet needle
So your controller should be assigned to your dummy's animator, and your avatar should just be set to the normal default option. Don't change that.
Just assign the override sheet to the custom standing
quiet needle
drag the anim file onto your dummy in the hierarchy and drop it. Afterward, open the animation tab, select your dummy and on the left side of the animation panel, click the animation cliplist (the name of the animation that comes up by default is usually what you named your controller) and you should see the anim file in there.
quiet needle
so you'll need to add an audio source to your main model and your dummy, both in the same place named the same thing. Just right click the bone you want to add it to (armature or hips is usually a good place for a generic proximity based sound) and go to Audio > Audio Source.
do this on both model armatures then add the sound file to the component and configure the volume and such
grand copper
Unity won't keyframe? even with the record button active. It just resets back to it's original value
quiet needle
Disable both audio sources by unchecking the box at the top of the component list on the right, then go back to your dummy and open the animation. Add a property and find the sound object and add the "Is Active" property. You will need it to be at the first keyframe and the last keyframe of the animation as enabled.
@grand copper Are you in play mode?
quiet needle
That just means you're in animation record mode.
Generally speaking, animations are easier to create when ignoring record mode and just using the properties menu and values on the keys.
You might need to save your scene and restart Unity.
Sometimes it freezes up and shows incorrect values in the animation tab
grand copper
If I want to animate my whole character through it's rig, do I use the animator properties or kan I use the rig itself as properties?
because I've been searching in animator and can't find something as simple as 'hips"
clear yew
Armature > Hips
grand copper
well yah, but why would all tutorials tell you to add all this "finger stretched" properties from "animator" if I could use the rig directly?
quiet needle
@clear yew you da real mvp
You could, but the animator is made for simple rig rotational modifications and is generally quicker and easier to use.
grand copper
ah, makes sense, thanks
quiet needle
Either way you'll have to add just as many keys and pips
grand copper
the values of for example hips position still reset
quiet needle
So you have your red timeline all the way to 0:00 and the hips position set as a property/key, and you type into one of the x/y/z fields and press enter and it resets?
grand copper
right after I press enter it goes back yes
quiet needle
Hmm. I'm not sure then. I've never had that problem on my avatars. Then again, I've not tried to move the hips. Is there a hips motion modifier in the animator that you can try using instead?
grand copper
I've been searching for that too but no luck, nothing called "hips" so I went looking for spine but then I get "spîne TDOF" "spine front back" "root Q" "Root T" so not sure which one does what
quiet needle
You could always just pop them on and test, then delete them if they're not the key you're looking for.
grand copper
true, but if it comes to that, I'll just go to maya and animate it there. If it's that difficult for unity
I've noticed that the resetting is fixed when I turn off record mode? but once I move the timeline again, it turns itself back on
sage leaf
how play a animation with a non-rigged avatar ?
quiet needle
@grand copper That would be correct. The timeline moving means the key resets.
grand copper
but a key is not supposed to reset when timeline moves? that's the whole meaning of a keyframe
quiet needle
Basically the way it works here is you set the keyframe object in the left panel, then when you actually type in a value, it puts a pip on the timeline with that keyframe value. Then when you move the timeline, it modifies the value to a curve between the last and next key, but doesn't actually encode the value unless you enter another pip.

Hey can anyone help me with my sound animations? i have an avatar with a boombox on her. i put music on it and in unity it sounds great but in game in some worlds you can hear it id say okay but in some worlds its pretty silent. what am i doing wrong?
quiet needle
Sounds are pretty messy right now. What's the volume level set to?
quiet needle
That's probably why. 1 is extremely low volume. I'd say somewhere around 5-7 would be good, and set the curve up so it meets your wants regarding non-annoyance levels.
pliant plank
Isn't 1.... like the max?
quiet needle
Oh wait, yeah.
proven quiver
yeah its on max lol
proven quiver
linear
pliant plank
After they screwed with the audio curvatures and ONSP audio in general is just BS tbh
quiet needle
yeah
pliant plank
That's why i haven't updated mine yet
proven quiver
well even before that it didnt quite work for me
pliant plank
They'll keep their custom rolloffs for as long as they live
Well unfortunately jask, that's honestly as well as you'll be able to have it audible
Audio has been really screwed with in the past patches and as i see it right now, there's no feasible way to have it atleast audible at midrange
So you're unfortunately stuck with it
pliant plank
Because they have old avatars that haven't been updated by the new SDK restrictions
proven quiver
damn okay well thank you anyway 😄
pliant plank
One such sign is the fact that you can't mute their avatars via the audio sliders, as they have a completely different configuration than what is supported
zealous needle

when removed and re-added 🤔
This, shouldn't be an issue, right?
fuck it let's find out
quiet needle
Without context of your import, it's hard to say, but if there is no mesh it shouldn't pose a problem. It's just not perfectionist friendly.
zealous needle
no shape keys in blender
muted prairie
Why isn't the canvas a single mesh ?
quiet needle
One other thing, you can rotate the part that you're using to a usable position, then press E twice to reset the rotational values.
That will make it easier to work with in regards to movement and rotation.
zealous needle
I, don't even know what I did or what this issue is. Like, it's a mesh that's not part of the mesh for some reason, correct?
and that should not be
pliant plank
I have a feeling it's a unity camera glitch for some reason
zealous needle
quiet needle
Did that object exist in Blender at some point?
quiet needle
the second mystery one?
zealous needle
Let me restart Unity
huh, still does it, but yeah, it does follow the camera
Funny enough, I just detached the mesh from the mesh renderer, and it's fine
I guess I'll make my edits and see what happens
surreal crater
Does anyone know how those things are called above people head for example loli army? Im looking for a tutorial.
surreal crater
thank you tech!
tall zodiac
Anyone know if you can make a mesh particle align to a direction its facing instead of being stuck in one axis?
Ah rotation over lifetime works
Now i just need to figure out how particle collision works
quiet needle
@tall zodiac Set the renderer from View to Local, then rotate appropriately on the particle section (start rotation)
Collision works when it hits into an object with a collider. That's a pretty shaky thing to base an effect on unless hitting the terrain is your target trigger.
tall zodiac
its one particle that spawns a another when on collision
Like a small bang
also what do you mean by View to Local?
zealous needle
But the real question is
how do you make a particle system as a projectile independently

scarlet mauve
i want to know the same thing
quasi dragon
so just added my second pistol to my avatar to have 2 out at same time, though even though the animation has both hand movments in one gesture, the hand movements only take effect for the hand i gesture with
meaning that i have to hold down the gesture on both controllers to get the hands to line up ok on the gun, gun still comes out though with just one gesture, though doing this makes it so i cant do a secon gesture to add a firing effect correct? any ideas?
@pale orchid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC6sW4kJwa8 this video around the 37 min mark he talks about adding audio to a gun, though i havn't tried it yet myself
clear yew
@quasi dragon Try adding weapon to your wrists instead of your hands
That way VRchat should call the weapons to be enabled in both hands, it won't track your hands, but will follow your arm movements
Or, add 1 weapon to your hand and the other to the opposite wrist
scarlet mauve
How can i disable an audio on the idle animation?
pale orchid
I saw the video, but don't understand how to put the sound with the emote animation :/
scarlet mauve
hey @pale orchid i think i've got it, i'm uploading my test avatar, if it works i pm you
pale orchid
ok
quasi dragon
@clear yew so just try moving the one gun from hand to wrist in the hierarchy?
clear yew
I think that would work if you want to dual wield with the current way vrchat works
quasi dragon
i can try that, will that make both my hands move though with only hitting the gesture on one?
cause both guns are showing up, just the hand im not gesturing with is kept open
instead of gripping gun like in the animation
clear yew
Oh, thats what you wanted
quiet needle
Everybody asking for help adding sound to an animation: You need to add an audio source to your model and in the animation set it to active at the start and end keyframes.
clear yew
Thats just how VRchat works, the opposite hands finger bones will not be called when your gesturing with the opposite hand
quasi dragon
ahh that stinks
clear yew
Unless theres some work around I don't know about
quasi dragon
hmmm guess i could just a another animation that is a copy of the guns with the added firing animation to a similar gesture so i can just press another button to go into that gesture
was just hoping for an easier fix lol
clear yew
I had a question of my own. How can I enable a bone to follow another bone? I basically want this tentacle to follow the direction of my hand on the X and Z axis on an animation override
https://imgur.com/TL1RfVV
quiet needle
Might be able to use a joint similar to how you attach world particles to a bone.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZxfQkxvxRI follow this but attach it to the tentacle bone instead? Worth a shot.
clear yew
Hey I'll give it a watch. thanks!~
old trail
Again, one quick question:
In the override, I can't find "STRAFELT". Does it even exist? Because there is a STRAFERT.
clear yew
You don't have to do that anymore
If you have the newest SDK, when custom override~ing you only need to add the actual overrides to the controller
old trail
Now I'm a little bit confused..
pale orchid
@quiet needle I add the audio source, I'm using a animation from this pack, https://www.vrcmods.com/item/565-Animation-Set-(35-total-animations) How can I set the audio on the keyframes?
candid token
@quiet needle Hey thank you for showing that video in here it's gonna help out allot with some sprites i have
quiet needle
@pale orchid You'll have to edit the animation file. You'll need an animation controller set up to do that, then drag the .anim file onto the armature using the controller (your dummy/puppet) and it will show up on the cliplist for editing. Add the audio file as a game object to your hierarchy somewhere and set it to disabled, then "Is Active" in the animation.
@candid token welcome
candid token
Also, I can never edit my fingers in the animations, It jus default back to normal
like the default hand pose
quiet needle
Yeah I'm still trying to work out why I get default hand pose sometimes when I try to gesture during an animation. I think you have to set both hands up fully in the animation and it will only call the one you're using.
candid token
it's rather strange
Eh, at least i can unsheath my sword and such
i also managed to getmy particle system working with my Form change
So that's all good
quiet needle
Just be sure to be frugal with your particles. Keep it under 500 if you can.
candid token
I always do
I keep all particles i have under -100
I find it rediculous making over exceeded particles that are unessacery

Is there a way to toggle animations without using scripts?
stray gulch
@cunning saffron yea its called "gestures" animations you trigger with vr controls you tube it

@stray gulch can you send me a link i cant seem to find any video on that...
stray gulch
@cunning saffron this one is decent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxSezH13vAI
@cunning saffron https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfVmfGOOkOw this one might be better
@cunning saffron you do basically the same thing for weapons
@cunning saffron all i did was google vrchat emotes
in the process of making a pregnant miku with a belly and a baby comes out
cunning saffron
@stray gulch the only difference is putting the "animation enabled" thing?
stray gulch
@cunning saffron some "animations you sometimes always on for what ever reason. toggling animations off and on are so when your done with it, it disappears. also, any animations you have hidden do not count towards your poly count
ie. sword or any monstrosity
or taking your head off and removing it while holding it in your hand
stray gulch
"animation enabled" thing .. i dont follow
cunning saffron
@stray gulch at 4:55 in the second video
if not theres no difference between that and a non toggle animation
trim oasis
how do i visualize the box for particles?
stray gulch
@cunning saffron alright ill explain what he's doing at 4:55. you create a duplicate and do the animation on the duplicate. once you start the animation process on the duplicate it "breaks" it. when you finish the animation you delete the duplicate and add the animation to the main model. you need to make sure the key frames are at zero and 1 second so the object does not flicker or do weird things.
cunning saffron
yes that i already knew
what im talking about is the "Add Property > Animation > Enabled"
stray gulch
"add property" is what you want to animate. clicking the plus sign + tells unity this is what is going to change in the animation. the only thing you need to activate the object and what ever is interacting with it on your body.
for example you would animate and enable your fingers and the gun if you were to make a weapon for your hand
cunning saffron
ok you really dont get my question lol
stray gulch
and ive spent enogh time on it
cunning saffron
whats the difference between an animation that you can toggle and an animation that only works when you do the hand gesture?
stray gulch
nothing
cunning saffron
?
stray gulch
the hand gesture is your toggle
cunning saffron
...
a toggle is when you press a button and you have to press it again for the animation to stop
stray gulch
verb
1.
COMPUTING
switch from one effect, feature, or state to another by using a toggle.
a key or command that toggles between two modes, such as the caps lock key.
im not getting technical your nit picking
cunning saffron
the caps lock key you have to press it to turn it on and you have to press it again to turn it off...
nvm im pretty sure the only way to do it requires scripts and vrchat doesnt take them

Are the main animations desktop users have access to the 8 emotes, walking forward.,sideways, standing idle, sitting and jumping?
final gazelle
i haven't actually found a time when a jumping animation plays -- there's one for falling, which is meant to activate when you're not grounded
but there's none for when your Y axis velocity is greater than a certain amount
clear yew
Mica ==》》 strafe/run/fall/jump and sitting anims
Have heard the jumping animation doesn't play but I wasn't aware there was one for fall
The last time I was on I kept jumping and noticed the model with her hands up during some jumps
Wonder if that was the "Fall" animation rather than the ending bit of the jump animation
hot agate
Does anyone have experience with making custom jumping
Oh you guys were actually talking about it already
The falling animation i made only seems to be local so i dont think falling works
final gazelle
@hot agate falling only seems to work properly if you were already moving laterally when it kicks in -- if you jump straight up and down, it usually won't play for some reason
hot agate
Do you know if it repeats if its not long enough?
Im thinking my issue is its way too short and i have to make it longer
final gazelle
guessing that it's got something to do with the fact that there only seems to be a reference to an "airborne" state in the locomotion layer, and none in the idle layer
there should be a "loop" option on the actual .anim file itself, try ticking that
final gazelle
hmm...that i have no answer for, unless it's just unity/VRChat being weird about it again
@clear yew as for the no jumping animation, it's most obvious if you look at the animation clips you're allowed to override in the animation override controllers the SDK gives you
the options it gives you are from animations which are used and assigned in the original animation controller -- there's no slot for "jump", because they never put one in to begin with
i've tried mimicking some of the structures i've seen in there and adding a "MovementY" parameter to go along with the "MovementX" and "MovementZ" parameters they use to determine whether you're using walk or run animations, but it doesn't seem to register with them -- most likely because whatever VRChat is doing, it was never programmed in or exposed to us to use
clear yew
I believe what someone mentioned earlier is correct about only needing one strafe animation
The animation is flipped to go on the other direction
@final gazelle I'll take another glance at the list though did feel like it showed more than I recall seeing
final gazelle
looking at the animation controller component now -- yeah, there's an option ticked in there for two of the STAFERT instances (there're 4 of them, for some reason)
clear yew
Oh
final gazelle
these two have "Enable mirrored" ticked
so the thing about the automatic mirroring is most likely true -- it's for when movement on the X axis is negative
animation isn't mirrored when movement on the X axis is positive
mystic umbra
would a particle effect trail stay in place after animation
where the animation is just activating a deactivated particle
heavy stirrup
Don't see the option for enabling mirrored anywhere, though i know i've seen it somewhere
final gazelle
it's in the animation controller itself, you probably don't need to worry about it if you're using a copy of the one provided with the SDK
heavy stirrup
I am, but i don't see it.
My model isn't humanoid, though it's symmetrical
might be an issue?
My strafe right works fine, and i have an animation for left that i can't put in, strafe right doesn't mirror by default for me
final gazelle
if you know how to get to the Locomotion Layer in the animator, open up the "StandingHeight" state, then go down to "Standing Locomotion"
there should be 4 "STRAFERT" animations assigned in the inspector, two of which have the tickbox option enabled
hovering over the top of that tickbox icon will show the text "mirror animation", and considering that the two ticked ones have the same numbers as the non-ticked two -- just with negative X values instead of positive -- i'd assume that those two will play a mirrored version of whatever's set as the STRAFERT animation when you're moving in the opposite direction
ah wait, didn't read what you wrote properly -- non-humanoid rig, yeah, that may potentially be a problem
in that case, i'd recommend making a copy of the controller and seeing if you can directly replace the animations assigned in the controller with your strafe-left animation
clear yew
Sprint and run should be the same?
final gazelle
i don't see any difference in-game with the humanoid rigs, for whatever reason
feels like the default animations VRChat uses for the run/walk cycles completely overrides anything i try
sprint is supposedly meant to kick in when you're moving faster than run, but if you don't really care for a difference, you could replace both of them with the same thing on a generic rig
gaunt gyro
Anyone else here had some success with editting the controller template and split up left and right hand overrides?
I tried to rename the event blocks in the left and right hands to things like "FistLeft", but that didn't work because I think they have to be specific names for the game to pick them up, quite like how eye tracking works.
heavy stirrup
I think i got it Spearmonkey, it actually makes a lot of sense how it works now.
Going to test it though
Worked perfectly.

Can anyone help me understand how rigid bodies and hinge joints work?
What I am looking to figure out if I can enable a bone to follow another bone? I basically want this tentacle to follow the direction of my hand on the X and Z axis on an animation override

@hot agate @clear yew @final gazelle Falling animations failing to play is a known bug. There's also a request for a YVelocity parameter which would allow for separate jumping/falling animations.

final gazelle
@quasi gale oh, many thanks for that! You do enough work in the feature-requests channel, but nice of you to drop that info in here too 😛
clear yew
Didn't know that was a bug, TIL guess I've never noticed it
quasi gale
@clear yew Most of the premade joint configurations are generally built for physics systems. Try using the Configurable Joint. It's a bit scarier, but you should be able to get by by setting rotation X and rotation Z to locked.
clear yew
Jeez >< thats a huge component
quasi gale
Oh, and also disable Auto Configure Connected Joints and set the Connected Anchor to 0.
clear yew
Yea, this ones kinda scary, so much stuff I don't know about
So... lemme type out what I want, and how I am guessing I do this...
I want that tentical to follow my hand only on the point gesture, so, I add a game object to my fingertip, and give that a rigid joint component
erm, maybe rigid body component I mean
and then, on the tenticles bone, I add the configurable joint, and point the connected body to the rigid bone on the finger
quasi gale
Mmm... It's kind of tough to toggle joints of any kind. The best way to do it would probably be to setup the joint so it always follows the hand bone's orientation. Then turn on the IsKinematic flag on the tentacle bone. Whenever you want it to follow your hand's direction, use your gesture animation to disable the IsKinematic flag.
clear yew
wouldn't setting the game object to inactive, and only calling it on the gesture be a toggle? or would that cause a compiler error
Or, would it still track even if inactive I guess
quasi gale
Joint bindings will break if one of the associated rigid bodies get disabled.
hot agate
@quasi gale thanks bro
clear yew
Ill start testing around, thanks for the help @quasi gale Im giving this model away on reddit once I'm happy with the animations, so you've contributed to more squids being in VRchat
quasi gale
Let me know if you run into any trouble. Joint bindings can be a bit of a pain sometimes.
clear yew
Especially when you don't know what your doing and there is hardly any tutorials on it ><
clear yew
I'm trying to add particles to rigibodies so they can be a world object in my hand but whenever I make the animation the particles don't move with my hand and stay in the same place as before, any possible fix?
white herald
instead of a rigidbody try setting the particles to world space @clear yew
clear yew
Wait was this problem just talked about before me
white herald
depends on what you'[re going for
clear yew
I'm trying to shoot a beam from a cannon that bounces off walls
Thats the only thing I've been told on the issue
Yeah I did it almost like that just followed a different tutorial but the particles are in the wrong place
clear yew
ugh, i don't wanna animate a laugh emote from scratch, but there's nothing good on mixamo and i need laughing emote QQ
vestal osprey
does anyone know how i can stop an particle effect from getting triggered unless i have my gun out. however the particle effect cannot be parented to the gun.
sorry start
not stop
white herald
just enable/disable the particle effect's parent
vestal osprey
i cant do that either. I use it to make the particle worldspace so i cant dissable the particles parent
white herald
well make another parent in between?
vestal osprey
yeah but how do i link that to only play when i have my gun in my hand.
if the gun is visible only then should the particle play when i push my trigger
white herald
enable it in your gun animation? or are you saying you need to not disable it when you put your gun away but not trigger it either
vestal osprey
it works for the sound cause that sound is parented to the gun
yeah if i dont have the gun visible the particle effect shouldnt trigger
right now it does
idle crater
GUys, VRchats SDK wont let me use RandomParticleRotataion componants. But where is the seeting for this?
grand copper
What is the best way to play a different sound under every gesture? The only method I know of right now is making 6 duplicates of my character and then with animation make the sounds appear
white herald
just add 6 empty gameobjects with each sound to your character
regal cedar
anyone know good place to find already made animations that aint soo bad like mixamo
shrewd moon
deviantart?
grand copper
@white herald but I would still need to make the 6 duplicates of the character?
topaz ermine
You can delete the duplicates after you make the animation
grand copper
but....then the animations would animate....nothing?
could there be a visual tutorial out there covering this or something comparable?
something similar*
grand copper
I've been searching "vrchat audio" but all I get are simple "weapon sounds" videos
topaz ermine
The part about the audio on those should apply to your audio as well
It's the same thing but without the particle or the gun models
grand copper
yah well they create 1 duplicate of their character for that 1 sound, so I guess I have to make 6 duplicates for these 6 sounds?
topaz ermine
No
You just make another animation on the single duplicate
You save the animation files and then the duplicate can simply be deleted
grand copper
I've tried that but it doesn't work tho :/ no sound coming appears
no sound appears*
topaz ermine
What does your animation look like?
topaz ermine
Also do you want it to keep playing when you stop doing the gesture?
grand copper
uuuh that would make things easier maybe
topaz ermine
You do have the same audiosource in your main model right
grand copper
yup
topaz ermine
Alright to make the audio keep playing after you stop the gesture you need a 2 frame animation
audiosource should be enabled by default with play on awake off
grand copper
ah wait apparantly the sounds were not in the original model --'
topaz ermine
frame 1 you set it disabled with play on awake on
grand copper
so sorry
grand copper
thanks for the information on playing audio when stopping the gesture 😃
topaz ermine
No problem
grand copper
I have another question if you don't mind
topaz ermine
I'll answer if I can
grand copper
I basically have a weapon animation, but I want the character to hold the weapon forever, no gesture needed. so I tried putting the animation in all animation overrides. It did the job for the weapon, but my character is now taking the pose you get when you animate it
topaz ermine
You can simply enable the weapon at all times can't you?
Unless you're trying to bypass the poly limit
grand copper
if I just enable the weapon, my hand isn't holding it correctly, right?
it would just float in my hand?
topaz ermine
Yeah you'd just need to animate the fingers on every gesture
Don't think there's an easier way
grand copper
but I've already done the animation on every gesture :/
topaz ermine
You're saying you go into the crouching pose?
grand copper
believe me, I don't think there is an easy way haha
yah this one https://i.imgur.com/r01ucPm.png
and in the game it basically looks like I'm in the floor of course
clear yew
Always make the animation on a duplicate model
topaz ermine
Ah
grand copper
it is the duplicate model
topaz ermine
Yeah you made one of the animations on your main model
grand copper
I just disabled the main and enabled the duplicate to take the prtscrn......
clear yew
It won't look like that on the main model when you do the animation ingame
topaz ermine
Yeah it'll just do the things the animation tells it to do, like change the bending on the fingers
grand copper
I'm not talking about the crouch in unity but actually in game
I'm in the floor in the game
I'll go eat first and I'll take the screenshot in the game for you guys after
topaz ermine
Maybe you're uploading one of the duplicates?
grand copper
I'll try uploading again soon
grand copper
@topaz ermine https://i.imgur.com/zmWhdB5.jpg I uploaded again and made sure it was the main model but the problem still exists
the sounds work now tho 😃
and putting the saber animation in all animation overrides is not the cause?
storm bronze
how would i go about adding an animated tornado (particles with animator on it) as an emote? (desktop user)
quiet needle
You'd create the particle system and the animation then add the animation to your override on top of the emote you want to replace. @storm bronze
errant solstice
So has everyone gone trough the whole importing process on their own with the Hoppous or is there a ready one that can be used?
tawny wyvern
Hmm, is there a good method for exporting an fbx (armature), importing it into unity as a generic animation and have it work an avatar rig as normal? I seem to get the default 'curled up' pose no matter what I do for the root. I have a need to include translations in the body animation and rigging the animations as humanoid in unity discards these, annoyingly.
lost musk
The default VrChat animation are setup as humanoid. So if you have a generic avatar and not an humanoid one, you have to setup your own animation.
So I guess the only way to have an animation working for an humanoid is to setup the animation as humanoid too
quiet needle
@tawny wyvern You might end up having to set up your own generic rig. If you're doing your own animations anyway you might be able to make it work.
tawny wyvern
The rig matches the rig in every way, I feel I just need to figure out parenting. Adding a dummy "Armature" root didn't add any joy, though. Otherwise it starts out at Hips. Hmmn. @quiet needle
I'm almost positive I accidentally set up an animation like this when I was trying to create a custom idle animation before I figured out that animataion sets could be rigged humanoid as well. I guess I'll tinker onwards..

does anyone know how i can make a an animation that constantly loops on my character? i have blinking working but i need to add another animation? but that second animation wont appear for some reason
quiet needle
If you want to add it to an animation, yes. Otherwise if you just want to see what carried over, it's just in the body mesh under your armature
mystic umbra
do you know if particle trails last after animation
quiet needle
Not if you let go of the gesture
quiet needle
I don't think so, because essentially you're disabling the particle at the end of the gesture/anim
quiet needle
I still need to pull apart their prefab so I can discover that exact thing.
sacred schooner
How do I disable automatic blinking for closed eyes animations? I can't seem to find the video that metnioned it a while back.
mystic umbra
if you find out can you let me know
quiet needle
I@sacred schooner I remember seeing that, and I think what you have to do is disable the animator during your animation.
small tapir
@quiet needle Wait do you mean here https://imgur.com/a/dmxsH
quiet needle
Yes.
mystic umbra
wait what if the person disabled the trail as a sub particle but kept the main particle active at all times
sacred schooner
Which animator, though. Lmao
mystic umbra
maybe ...
quiet needle
Yeah I can't remember which video mentioned it, but I do remember seeing that.
sacred schooner
Yeah, same.
quiet needle
I'll look back through. I think it was one of the facial anim tuts
tawny wyvern
Aha, I can get it to work with humanoid by attaching the animation to the armature node directly. ❤
mystic umbra
you just have to delete the blinking animations
tawny wyvern
So at least it -can- work.
mystic umbra
I mean shapekeys
quiet needle
@sacred schooner https://youtu.be/yfVmfGOOkOw?t=243
sacred schooner
Keo, I said during animation.
mystic umbra
oh mb
quiet needle
If you blink while performing a blinking animation, your eyelids go through your cheeks. There is a way to disable it in this video without disabling blinking altogether
sacred schooner
Do you remember what time? I think he does it near the end, but I don't have an "animation" category he goes into.
quiet needle
It's at 4:00
mystic umbra
what if you create a shape key of your eyes open at all times and set that in your animation in unity
sacred schooner
Won't work, Keo. Your blinking still goes through your custom anim.
Yeah, I don't have that "animation" category.
sacred schooner
Oh, she doesn't use visemes.
quiet needle
Yeah they're manual blinkers
mystic umbra
im unity dupliacate the eylids then make a shape key of the original eyelids going into the body
so if blinking occurs it happens inside the body
and the duplicated eyelids say still
if the duplicate blinks as well you might have to set the new eyelids onto another material and then delete the shape keys and only have base
sorry I mean in blender
actually you might not need to do that new material just redo the duplicate eyelid'd shape key to stay still as the other eyelid blinks
I dont remember if shapekeys translate onto duplicated meshes in blender
sullen saddle
"Camers are removed from non-local avatars at runtime" does this mean I can't make a selfie style prop anymore?

how does one attach a particle prefab to an emote? im stuck
mystic umbra
you have to animate its activation
make a duplicate and then create new animation, then in armature you should find the particle system (have the particle system attached) and then set the particle system as activated
youll have two key frames one with the beginning and one that ends, youll have to pull the last keyframe outwards to some length of time

how do i make an gun and the sound separate?
so i would be able to just point or shoot
tight flower
It would have to be 2 separate gestures, one gesture that just has the gun and the second one which would be a copy of the stationary gun but added sound effect and muzzle flare
gilded flume
ok ill try that
tight flower
So long as you keep a copy of the stationary gun animations frames open on your dupe model, you should just be able to copy those keyframes and paste it to the second animation dupe model. Eliminate the hastle of having to re-pose all the fingers around your gun

so in the animation tab after duplicating ect, go to armature, find your emoji you bound to whatever bone (and all the sounds binded to the emoji) and set to "as active"
clear yew
How do I mAke that?
ahh
So
If I found a image
for example
Of that OK sign
I bound it to a bone?
lofty crypt
the emoji is a 2D plane with an image material on it
the plane has a sound attached to it
and the plane is parrented to any bone
clear yew
well the sound I added myself
vapid ruin
Does anyone know where i can find like a floating idle animation?
clear yew
the plane is attacthed to the charecter
hey so
also
how do I select a certain part of the charecter ot make a texture
u know what im saying like
lets say
I want one part to panosphere or whatever
tthe image that follows you
if i did that it would make the whole thing panospehere
I dont want the whole thing to be that shader
lofty crypt
that comes down to how many materiels you have
and what mateirels they represent on the model
clear yew
can i add materials
I only have 4
5
3 for head
2 for suit
or would i have to go back into blender
lofty crypt
blender if you want more
lofty crypt
dont have one, never done it
lofty crypt
or you can look it up
lofty crypt
uhhh
clear yew
trust me I know.
lofty crypt
i mean like
in theory
what you need is blender seperate materiel by mesh
and then save as seperated materiels
clear yew
WAIT
lofty crypt
then again, never tried it
lofty crypt
literally only what it works for
hand gestures are vr only
i have an oculus myself
used that tutorial as an intro to gestures
clear yew
so
sorry to keep you typing but
this tut
will it allow me to
Just an example
if i were to hold UP Two fingers
if i set that gesture to that specifitcation
and i wanted it
to bring out
I dont know
lofty crypt
1 sec
lofty crypt
that video shows how to use blend shapes
turning on invisible objects on the model
isnt included
but i told you how here
clear yew
no not that
But
If i had a model
a speaker
A model made JUST Like a normal avatar
like physical
You know
Can my gesuture make it appear
etc
and play music
and do particles
clear yew
can i learn how to use that with the video you showed me
clear yew
but that also means
lofty crypt
on your original model you want your stuff on gestures invisible
lofty crypt
do you want it to be a sound trigger or a image trigger with sound
lofty crypt
so completely invisible at first
clear yew
meme
lofty crypt
yes
lofty crypt
so literally what i was saying
clear yew
ok look
lets make it simple
Will that video help me do that?
well
Essentialy teach me the concept?
pale warren
So if your asking, any gesture tut will show you what you need to know. So for sound, images, particles it will all be the same steps when it comes to gestures. Sorry just a quick look at the messages.
pale warren
I'd say watch both.
lofty crypt

lofty crypt
the first one is just basics
clear yew

"heres a good q i got
i want to have an animation override where the thumb rotates a bit
doing so in the animation tab, with rotation in add property doesnt work for the thumb
while it works for bones like the ears
any help"
"the problem isnt that i dont know how to animate
its just that for fingers, rotation doesnt work
while it does on other bones
unfortunatly in the ">animations" tab there is no tilt
for fingers
which is how you bend fingers"
any help
rotation is colored out for some reason
any edit to the values will revert to default
clear yew
