ello. could anyone help me out with some custom walk / idle animation? im trying to make my avatar float above ground. i did create a custom idle animatikon and it does work, but the avatar is stuck in the ground, even though i moved the armature above ground in unity. it also seems to ignore my forward animation. thank you
oh and, im not sure if i should be using the animator controller from the sdk, or just use the custom standing animation override
it didnt seem to work when i put my animation in the animator controller
muted prairie
Did you change any setting in the animation file settings ? @red obsidian
red obsidian
what animation file setting?
first of all, im not sure how to make the avatar float above ground. im not sure which height i should be changing. secondly, im not sure where should i be dragging my forward animation to override the default forward one
same for left and right
red obsidian
this is the menu of the anim file?
muted prairie
yes
muted prairie
Did you check the boxes ?
red obsidian
cant drag an image to show you
but i only have loop time, loop pose, offset and mirror
thats it
i think perhaps the forward animation does work for me, so my main issue is that avatar being stuck in the ground

Is there a way of adding sounds on 2D avatars?

how long can an emote be ?
i have an emote with music that's around 42 seconds but it seems to stop at around 38 in vr chat

@ruby elk My guess is you missed some tiny detail. Best bet is to start it over from scratch and it will probably work the second time around

shut nebula
Hey question. I want my avatar to have his rifle on his back when it's not in his hands. How would I do that?
stray gulch
@shut nebula do two seperate animations for your gun on your back and one in your hand
@shut nebula do the animation for gun on your back and uncheck the avtive button when you make a new key for your animation. then do your gun animation as usual in your hand. you will have two guns in your scene
shut nebula
Okay cool Thanks

Hey, so I'm animating a character within Unity and I want them to turn there neck a little and then turn back to the original position. Instead of doing a normal neck turn, they do a full 360 to return to the original position. Is there any way to stop them from doing this?
tidal gull
So I have a particle set up for a fireball
I want to have a gesture override that spawns the fireball and shoots it forward
Is there a good way to do this? 😃
wise rover
is there a way to play audio in when you play your animation in unity?
nvm figured it out. though it's not the most optimal method I could think of
grand loom
@wise rover Can you explain? I was just about to ask the same question. A video tutorial works too if you used one.
I know how to make animation overrides for emotes, but not really sure how to work audio into it
tidal gull
Another Q: is there a gesture override for the finger flex you get when you squeeze the side buttons
on the Vive
For audio, I think you make a gameobject, attach your audio emitter to it, attach it to your model
Then when you build the animation, you can add that game object's visibility as something that is animateable
Have the game object invisible by default and then when the animation triggers you can set it to be visible
And when the object becomes visible the sound plays
I think
Same mechanic as spawning a weapon in your hands
torn pawn
yes, to add audio to a gesture you create an empty object, add an audio source to it and you enable the empty object with your override
wise rover
@grand loom for checking the sound, you just have to be on the model with the audio on it and press play on the scene
tidal gull
I think I have a nice solution for my fireball
Nested particle effect, light sources, fun times
Attached to a game object attached to the hand
Gesture override on the game object visibility, default off, turns on when animation happens, set to override HANDOPEN
grand loom
What if I added an audio source to a body part, but had it unactive by default? If I used a gesture which would set the audio to active would that work or no?
torn pawn
how would I go about making an object to be attached to a world? like a dancing avatar pet that would stay in place (static world mesh particle doens't do for this), is it something to do with clever use of rigid bodies?
clear patio
Question, my black hole animation had weird mirror like parts to it in VR, but in non-VR it looks like its supposed to. How do i go about fixing it for VR clients too?

so I made a new animation in which my fog would be delayed but when I start it in vrchat, the fog shows up instantly. What did I do wrong?
torn pawn
what exactly did u set for delay
shut iron
quick question, does anyone know where to find the carmeldansen animation, or a model with it?
wise rover
I set the fog to appear roughly 27 seconds into the animation
and I made sure to subdivide to account for the frames per second
so I set it to 27 minutes
uneven moat
is there a way to make vrchat not have the animations go super above the floor? it looks fine in unity and blender weirdly
it also stops mid cycle
after walking once
wise rover
another problem I'm facing is that the stalagmites I added aren't showing up in the animation either
grand loom
Is there default levels for the sound emitter so its not blowing peoples ears off?
wise rover
I added an audio source to see if that solves it
grand loom
That's what I've been using.
wise rover
is it at least playing?
good
and wait. do you need the assets to be on both parts of the model for them to show up on the animation?
grand loom
Both parts?
raw hinge
Can anyone answer this question for me? Before I make an animation override for a sword to appear in my hand, why do I have to pose the sword in the hand before I pose it in animation mode like this video tells me to? Couldn't I just pose it in the animation with a position so that it's where I want it anyway?
wise rover
do you think I should just send in a screenshot of what I have and someone could guide me on what I actually need?
wise rover
ok this is really strange now. my stalagmites are bigger than they were before I deleted them and I now need to scale them down further
torn pawn
@raw hinge you have to most likely adjust the sword in pose anyway, when u make any changes in the duplicate to position or rotation to sword - copy the transformation component and then paste it on original
static panther
Noob question, how do I stop the model from resetting its position everytime I try twist a new fucking limb when trying to make my own animation?
slim solar
lilac cave
you could position the character dabbing and save that as a key shape
raw hinge
How do you add a particle effect to an animation override?
I put it in under Game Object.Is Active and checked it off but its not appearing
torn pawn
have particle active int he object, while object disabled, enable the object in override, but you dont need to put it in object, can do just system alone
outer plinth
Looking at making my own sitting animation. Should the character 'sit' on their origin (0 0 0) or some arbitrary height?
final gazelle
arbitrary height, i believe -- the actual seat itself isn't consistently set so that you'll meet the chair at 0,0,0
0,0,0 would probably put your hips inside the chair itself
iron flume
quick question, my particles effects are following my head movment even though its not connected to the head, eny sulutions?

Hey guys, I need to ask if there are any good idle animations/poses. The one I got looks off and my arms stick out when I move abit and then stop. I was just wondering if there was a place I could get them.

And also my avatar has the like ... lash line from the ''what face'' in her head, but I can't use it, cuz 1. the what face is not in the blendshape list on unity, 2. it doesn't work on blender either, even tho the lashline is in her head, and it's written in the shapekey list... what do I do to bring that out? or make it work? or something :/

https://gfycat.com/HiddenConcernedCranefly I wonder if I can edit her idle animation to actually hold that plane
Figured out how to create IK solvers in the engine, probably able to animate pretty decently with it -- but I assume it's just better to use Blender rigging for that
Curiously, is there a way to loop animations after they hit a certain point in their animation?
Like after a certain amount of time elapsing while standing still in the idle animation, have it transition into another animation?
heavy stirrup
I've asked before but don't think i got an answer. Where is the transition time to starting a walking animation-- so i can eliminate the "slow start" getting into a walk?
Would that be the MovementX/Z in the locomotion layer?
pine hinge
@copper bramble how did you do the tag thing above your head?
sorry random question but im just curious
copper bramble
Uh
Created a PNG file in photoshop with the text and background on the bottom
And in Unity I just made a plane, slapped the texture with a material on it
Make sure outside of the image it's actually transparent
so you have the name tag, and nothing behind it in photoshop
And set the blend mode to cutout on the material
pine hinge
yeah cause I had a friend try to help me out but its pretty uh
lets say it didnt work too well

If I have made an animation in Maya on a model with no skeleton, I only used 1 blend shape and Position Transform, then baked the animation and exported object as FBX...

Is there a max duration for animations made in unity?
hardy osprey
no but there is a max duration for emotes on vrchat which is 10 seconds
@tropic rover if your avatar has more than 1 mesh it will show up either invisible to you or broken
but to others it will look fine
more tha 1 mesh as in
you adding stuff to your avatar like swords hats
which only happens in animation overides i guess

Guys question
I want to add an object behind my avatar when i do a weapon animation
do i add the object to my body instead?
like i want to have an object appear standing behind the avatar

Yeah something like that
The orientation of the object is affected by the orientation of whatever it is parented to. Parent it to the root of your avatar's heirarchy
And you can summon whatever Stand you like

Weird question but I need help fixing a dance. I found a dance animation and it looked fine in unity and everything but when I do it in game it acts as if my character is sort of locked in the air or something. Like instead of bending down if I bend my legs the legs just kind of lift up into the air if you get what I mean. This happens with a few dances I have but then some others I found clearly work just fine so is there some sort of setting I need to change or value I need to set so that it actually behaves like a proper dance?
fallen rampart
You need to have root motion enabled
cedar root
@fallen rampart thank you :)
I just looked at the settings and set them the same as they are on the dances that actually worked. So hopefully that'll fix it.

wary parcel
But ofc if you want an line it would need a trail option :p
tidal gull
Every .2 of a second spawn a sub particle that is smaller, doesn't move, has view space, where the particle was...
Anyway for vert groups: you need to make sure that the bones of the middle finger are assigned as the bone for the vertices of the middle finger
Bugger me how to do that in Blender

Small particles are not that expensive to process than large ones though

I can do it in Max

That cylinder is weightpainted to a certan bone

That means that the red paint you see there moves when that bone moves in any direction
azure vault
So that's what vertex groups are for :3
wary parcel
There is several vertex groups to make an hand move like an hand
Or fingers for that matter
If it is painted dark blue in blender it means it is not moving that part

Well then you need to parent them correct
May have mistaked the last bone of the middle finger to something else

I recently made a complex animation of dragon fist that involves the model uncoiling and then flying forward. Before I added on these animations, the model simply flew forward and easily canceled when I let go of the designated trigger. All I added was the extra animation to the model itself, leaving the finger poses as one frame, but now the animation breaks and the model stays active after I let go. Is there something I'm missing?
wary parcel
If you make the sweater its own mesh and vertexgroup the weightpaint to the same bones as in your avatar it should work, but not always

Not worked with the dual animation where you activate another animation yet, cant say.

I've decided to combine my reload animation with my firing animation

No wonder no one is making complex animations. The trigger system must mess with them
alternatively keep a copy of the avatar without the animations and switch to it quickly between them. Effectively resetting the avatar but if youre smooth, no one notices.

anyone know if it's possible to make a character with 4 arms move the non main arms in a certain way upon hand gesturing?
or possibly link the four arms together so they both move when I do stuff

@spring remnant Hello, I had the exact problem as you. Disabling blinking in CATS will fix the problem BUT you have to create a new blinking animation for your character again instead of using one that you already have.

Is it possible to get an animation exported from blender to not be read only in unity?
The animation is super jittery when exported in unity when it wasn't in blender so seeing if some of the keyframes may have been messed up
Nvm haha just putting the blend file instead of creating an fbx export fixed my issue ❤

Does anyone know why I'm not able to cancel out of my animation? I've made the finger animation on my avatar a single frame while the object it activates has all of the animation. It worked when the animation on the object was a simple position transformation, but now that I've added several more keyframes, I can't cancel out of the animation anymore.

Why is the SDK so limited?
Ive been trying so many animation types / even meshes and shaders
And SDk just doesnt allow them even if theyre the simplest thing
It's just silly.
I know it was my bad, but for a simple Mesh pack it wouldnt let me upload because of a tiny trail on it. And it costed 22$
surreal iron
well... for starters, we're forced to use models with lower poly count than a NieR character which is a ps2 character with 25k poly XD

Hey question, Im using a model that came with a weapon as part of the original model. Is there a way for me to make an animation to toggle it to be visible/invisible? I would like it to be invisible by default if possible.

Make sure the weapon is a seperate mesh from the body
Once done
Click on said weapon
And either delete it

in unity I assume? currently its part of the main model I think. When I click on it the main model is also selected, so I assume that's what you mean. How do i go about separating them?

^^^^^
In blender

okay, and then i have to import it into unity separate from the main model right?

not really
they will become 2 separate meshes, so you can do whatever you want then

my animation seems locked, cant adjust any fo the values or even drag the keys, the proper animated body is selected - what am i doing wrong?
wait, says "some transformations are already bound to a humanoid character" then lists the things im trying to animate, this has never happened before, all im trying to do is make an animation gesture
sharp cove
Did you make a duplicate avatar and turn it into legacy
And then duplicate the animation
?
sweet zealot
i duplicated the avatar yes
but i cant seem to create an animation, the values are locked
sweet zealot
ill give that a shot right now
sharp cove
Duplicate the animation
By clicking that arrow on the legacy avatar
And then left click the animation file
And press ctrl D
sweet zealot
if the avatar is a dupe of the same source avatar, how do i make the duped avatar a legacy one?
sharp cove
Press ctrl D on the first avatar in the project area
And the newly duped avatar should be a seperate file
sweet zealot
oh
sharp cove
Ye
sweet zealot
okay, ive duplicated it, now do i drag that one into scene and add animation to that one?
the raw avatar is a different size from the editted avatar, will that mess it up or is it simply going by bones?
sharp cove
No
Keep the of avatar in the scen
Keep the dupe off
You just needed a legacy animation
To apply to your walk cycle
Legacy allows you to mess with it
sharp cove
Ohhhhhh

i need my dragon to open its mouth on rocknroll but the values are locked i cant make an animation for it

sharp cove
Did you create a new animation
sweet zealot
yes
i even duplicated the avatar to apply the animations to THAT one, but its not allowing me to change the values in animation
sharp cove
Ok
sweet zealot
if i duplicate an old animation and change it from there will that force it to work?
sweet zealot

Is the dragon rigged

Quick question about gesture-triggered animations. If I'm gonna have my character bring out an item with a gesture, the item has to be in my model's hand in the original Blender file, correct?
heavy stirrup
It has to have its own bone armature, and be in the same file
You can have it modeled around the hand in unity even if its separate
versed yacht
Oh so if it's positioned separately in the FBX file, I can move it into the hand in Unity?
heavy stirrup
Aye, I'm not fully sure about turning it on and off, but i know that you can have a mesh with an armature separate from the actual body -- and you can change where it is in the hand in Unity
I haven't actually tried anything like that though, so my answers are from a vague understanding
versed yacht
Alrighty, np
rancid ingot
im honestly getting annoyed, no matter what I do my animation overrides wont work
clear yew
The only time your gesture object should have an armature is if you're object is going to be using dynamic bones for some reason. Or if you want to morph it with a separate animation but don't have shape keys for it.
heavy stirrup
MMhn, i thought it was related to how people turned portions on or off-- guess they can do that with just the mesh?
Oh, i want to make a character with a whip now. I've seen a few
clear yew
You just use "Is Active" on the mesh where you have it placed in your avatar's hierarchy.
It doesn't need an armature.
Unless you're sneaky and use a shrinking shape key.
Then you just set the key to 100.
@heavy stirrup It's not difficult. Just get your gravity values about right unless you want it to look like a fishing rod or a spring.
😅

You know anything about walking animations in the locomotion layer by any chance?

@clear yew make a bone for it (if it doesn't have), put 100% weight on it and then create animation (unity or blender) and then put it in Animation component (debug > legacy + loop ), or you make a shape key that spins it, which you also make as animation and then put in animation component

hi, does anyone know where i can find info on making an avatar hold out another dancing avatar? i allready got the second model in my hand, i just need to add a dance animation to it. anyone know any tips?
long jacinth
@thin meadow The second model must have the bones for dancing, then you apply it to that specific model
then drag the second model into the first model's "hand"
for the armature
and if you don't have an animation already, that's when you'd create it and all
It's basically the exact same as giving an avatar a fluffy doll that moves around
thin meadow
been looking into converting an mmd animation to it
long jacinth
converting .vmd is basically a no-go
thin meadow
oh
long jacinth
You'd have better luck making it yourself from scratch altogether
thin meadow
you think it will work to use a maxamo animation for it+
long jacinth
Mixamo is super easy to port to it
thin meadow
mixamo*
icy hazel
super easy when it works
long jacinth
Basically
fathom plaza
Did something change with animation with the new patch? When I add a legacy animator it doesn't play
thin meadow
allright, cos i so have the secod model in my hand as a standing ragdoll atm
long jacinth
take the second model .fbx or whatever file
add that into mixamo so that the animation will be for that specific model
download without texture
at max possible fps (I think 60)
It'll give you a .fbx for the animation
now back in Unity
add the second model in
then add the newly created .fbx in
You'll see a little arrow to open up the stuff inside
there's going to be one for the animation specifically, and if you look at the right hand bar
it'll show the rigging settings
set it to use another pre-existing model
and select the second model you want as the doll
then you can duplicate just the animation part you just edited (CTRL-D)
then you can delete the original animation stuff
then just add the animation thing into the animation override
thin meadow
hm allright i will try ginving that a go
long jacinth
and to make it so the doll is tied to the hand or such rather than just by itself, like I said, just add it into the main model's armature under the hand section
and you'll be good to go hopefully
thin meadow
i know those steps, itss just making the avatar i got in my hand, preform animations, cos i can't manualy edit it when its in my hand, cos its animation set does not exicte when setting up the animation
like its going to be a doll that i can pull out, and trying to make it so that when its pulled out, it starts its own animation. like a wave, or a dance
icy hazel
idk if you can do that cause people can't even rig a second rig behind them like jojo stands
and that might as well be another doll but no animation and just bone constraints or whatever
maybe tho

clear yew
okay waht i mean since the animation is in a vmd file and since its using not one but two models
uhmm
it will be directly applied to the hands but its not like a hand weapon
its more like do a hand gesture and something pops up from the side of the shoulder and its suppose to summon a gaster blaster and shoot a laser
zinc chasm
Don't think maximo deals with that xD more of a unity thing.

problem is i dont know how to get it to work even when exported as a fbx animation when exporting the model and the animation both into a fbx and importing it into unity

Like if you mean make your own gesture/animation

Yeah thats what im saying i am trying to find a easy way
zinc chasm
Unity has tutorials for that.
clear yew
NO i mean
to use like animatiion
that already has been made
that comes with the model

no i mean i KNOw how to use it in the game
i am saying how to make it work and such or how to import it
like look atm y screenshots and tell me if i did it right or not

Oh haha omg so
Usually people who have it all premade
When you import the uhh whatever the unity symbol model is called
Its actually already set

okay but

You just have to ad your textures

Like my kirito one
clear yew
i am meaning like
VMD files
like theres a gaster blaster pmx and a sans model pmx which i already decimated both to be under 20k
but the animation will be applied directly to sans hand
but the animation will be on the gaster blaster
but i generally think since its going to be applied to the character shouldnt i do it on the character but how will it work with the gaster blaster
i duplicated the sans model and gaster blaster and put both gaster blasters into both models into both models wrists on right hand
okay so i had one where its like invisible and the other one not i believe i had the main model invisible but
the other model i think has the animation
unless if it was suppose to be the other way around
anyway so in the clone i did put the animation on it but like when i do put the Control Animation Override on the main
of course because in the CAO I did like put the animation (after being imported into blender of course its like in a amature.gasterblaster motion bone it said it was )
in the hand gun/finger point or whatever its called
and then when i uploaded into vrchat the main sans model i did try to like
do the hand gun or finger point
it wouldnt like do anything it wouldnt let me do the finger point for some reason
i did put it in the animator and vrchat descriptor in custom standing animations
but like when i try doing the hand gestures it just wont like, work
i had seen it to where people imported the sans model to do that in vrchat and i am just wondering how to make that work
zinc chasm
Do you use a VR headset, or play it on your computer
clear yew
with oculus rift controllers
zinc chasm
Ok then I wouldn't know because im a PC xD

and when i dont have the animation on the figner point it lets me do that finger point but

@onyx charm @signal dove GUYS I GOT IT ITS COOL OMG THANKS
zinc dagger
so i made an animation ovverride and now its always active when i get in game
and when i jsut hit play in unity if the SimpleAvatarController is on
its jsut always toggled on
if i dont use the SimpleAvatarcontroller the ovveride doesnt autoplay
haven't tried uplaodign it without the SimpleAvatarcontroller on
anyone else had this happen?
clear yew
i dont know but is anyone to help me with my situation? (look up and look at all of my messages/chatlogs to understand what im trying to do)
zinc dagger
i cant comprehend the stage ur at through all those can you summarize?
clear yew
okay so
when i do a hand gesture
you know what a gaster blaster is right?
well like when i do a finger point or something like that its suppose to come from the side and a gaster blaster summons and shoots a laser
and im trying to figure out how they managed to do that in vrchat
but the problem is from the file i downloaded it from it was a vmd file
so i had to import it into blender and export it with the model into a fbx into unity (without gaster blaster)
and when i did duplicate the blaster and the sans model i did put both the blasters into both the models right wrists
and i did rig both sans as humanoids
and of course i did duplicate the control animation override and put it in my assets
named it CAO
and i put the animation (which had "armature gaster blaster sample motion bone" or something like that for the name
i did put the CAO on the clone and i did try uploading the clone but wouldnt work on that either
i dont know what i did wrong exactly or how to make it work
I was just kinda hoping to find someone who can help
onyx charm
Did you make an animation for it
clear yew
there was a animation file already i told you the VMD file that i had to import into blender and export it with the model
to make it work
and that will export it from a VMD into a FBX animation
yes its the animation file that came with the downloaded model
zinc dagger
aren't unity animations .anim files tho
clear yew
Yes
but when you import into blender a
VMD file with miku miku dance tools
it will like when exported into a fbx animation
i think thats when its a anim file idk
but i had seen people where that works for them
but wont work for me which wth
idk if i skipped a step or
if i did it wrong maybe
i am confused
zinc dagger
does the animation work if you just try to play it on your character in unity
like before tryign to add it as an ovveridde or anyhting
clear yew
i dont know i am pretty sure it does? except on the sans model itself i dont see anything
but i think because even tho
it is applied on the sans model but
the animation is on the gaster blaster though
but of course enabling it when doing a hand gesture on the sans of course
zinc dagger
is hte gaster blaster part of the sans model?
clear yew
well no its in a seperate mesh but
the animation is suppose to be like
on the gaster blaster itself yes
but it is suppose to be a part of the sans model
but again in two seperate pmx
but the animation as far as i saw in a VRChat world
that its suppose to be applied to the sans model and i can do a hand gesture
and like i explained how the animation is suppose to work/do/animate
like how it animates i mean
get what im saying?
zinc dagger
well for one you need to make sure the hand gesture enables the mesh for the gaster blaster
and that its attatched to ur sans model
clear yew
okay well how do i do that
zinc dagger
so if its an animation file you'll need to add that to it
clear yew
well its not directly on the hand in the model/mesh itself
but i mean it is in the hand
zinc dagger
so make a duplicate of sans
