You might have to fiddle with the mat
Have you tried the normal particle addictive shader on it?
shrewd moon
Big butt
shrewd moon
It's not unlit as you liked?
balmy orbit
nono the width is fine
the texture is just too trasparent
might be because of the texture settings
also i didnt mean for it to fade like this lol
it fades as it follows the particle, but i wanted the whole trail to fade at the same time
i guess its fine without the fade
wary parcel
What are you trying to do with the color over lifetime? As i see it it works in the first gif you sent. Since it changes from white (its texture color) to transparent.
gray lintel
@shrewd moon that's what she said
shrewd moon
Ayy
woeful seal
hey, in blender can you copy an animation from 2 rigs which are virtually identical except the source has more bones/nodes but the bones they have in common have the same names?
both for the same model
wary parcel
@gray lintel What and where do you mean that @shrewd moon said the same thing as me? i asked a question for @balmy orbit since he/she actually never said what was wanted to do with the Trail, make it transparent at the same time, or have it as an white color?
If you want the Particle trail to last longer you should put the lifetime of the trail a bit higher, this way it "stays" and the color over lifetime gets dragged across the whole lifetime.
shrewd moon
I'm sure he was making a peen joke
normal skiff
firing animations from triggers... it seems to go immediately to the final state somehow without actually animating 😐
exotic pilot
does anyone know why the Animator box is unchecked automatically by an animation?
woeful seal
can bones be renamed in unity?
wicked crown
Is there away to trigger animation parameters on avatars. If not any suggestions for alternatives.
undone glade
@woeful seal bones can be renamed if I remember right, but better to do that in Blender
@wicked crown what problem are you having?
wicked crown
Basicly have a deployable shield and want it to play its animation in reverse when I release the hand gesture
but and theres a big but
clear yew
put the reverse animation on another hand gesture
wicked crown
the shield is triggers by 2 hand jestures soo that I dont constantly acisidently activate it
with are limited ammount of hand gestures im geting bord of the Slight of hand
Current setup that only activates shield is a Empty obejected turned on by 1 hand gesture. Another empty in that turned on by another
then the last one has a 2 second timer to turn on the shield
and easyer way would be to be able to just send animator parameters to toggle these things and allow for the revese
slim sparrow
You can't have it play in reverse on release I think
undone glade
I think there is a better way to set that up so it's still two animations, but requires more time and work
slim sparrow
But what you can do, is combine gestures and have the shield un-deploy when you press fist while also holding the shield with the other hand
Ohhh, wait
I missed the obvious here
wicked crown
the timer throws that out
slim sparrow
Yeah, I think there's a solution
wicked crown
and I also tried legacy animations and they still wont do what I want
slim sparrow
Have two shields. One plays the deploy animation, the other plays the un-deploy animation.
The one that un-deploys is active by default, the other is not.
wicked crown
again thrown out by the timer
slim sparrow
Oh, you only want the shield while holding a gesture?
wicked crown
basicly atm I have to hold both point and fist for 2 senconds
then my shield deploys
wow my spelling today
but I cant bind the other animation to the release of the 2 hand gestures or 1 of them. As if I attach it to 1 then it'll play when I simply do that 1 hand gesture and release
undone glade
I was thinking more adding an animation to the shield, not the avatar. Making sure it plays on awake once. So all you need to do is set it up to make the object active and inactive.
wicked crown
Already have to or what I explaed wouldent work
clear yew
you can't play an animation in reverse without actually reversing the whole thing in another hand gesture unfortunately
wicked crown
im going to assume you ment cant
and ive been told cant a 100 times
and still found away
clear yew
yeah can't*
wicked crown
when it comes to VRchat ive find theres extreamly rarely a case where you cant do something
slim sparrow
Well, you can't until you prove otherwise
wicked crown
yep! but peoples suggestions have given me some mirror idears to try some more
clear yew
playing a animation in reverse when you let go of the hand gesture is impossible
slim sparrow
You can actually put it in one gesture, but then it won't sync to late joiners
clear yew
never saw anyone even get close to make it work
slim sparrow
As in, you can use fist to cycle between deployed/undeployed
wicked crown
well you can already do revese on 1 hand gesture
thats easy
just have 2 shields that activate and deactivate depending on if ur holding or not holding
my issue is I have it on 2 gestures with a timer
undone glade
Only way I could probably see this work is if it was a shape key, but that requires some Blender work.
wicked crown
Did consider using a shape key but again hit a wall when it came to the 2 gesture timer part. Care to elaborate how you would do it?
slim sparrow
You said legacy animations didn't work
There are ways to make animations that enable or disable animator components
But since Unity's animation editor kinda sucks hard, you'll need a specially crafted file that you edit in Notepad++ before you let Unity import it
wicked crown
ohh that sounds like it would work soo "retracting shield" is on by default. 2 hand gestures activate the stuff for the "deployable shield" As well as turn off the legacy animation for the "retracting shield" Then when released have it turn on the retracting shield legacy back on then shield retracts back.
will give it ago. See never say cant
slim sparrow
Tbh your setup sounds needlessly complicated, it would be much easier to just activate a second shield that extends itself
Not sure why you're going on about a "timer", you can put a delay in the animator of the second shield
¯_(ツ)_/¯
wicked crown
ohh ok lets elberate that part more
Fist turns on "empty object A". Point turns on "empty object B that is a child of A" Empty object B has a animation that turns on the shield after 2 seconds. There for my shield will only deploy if I hold Fist and shield for 2 seconds. With touch controllers its a pain when you accidently trigger animations.
This has been me work around and it allows me to trigger animations only when I press and hold 2 hand gestures for a set amount of time.
Basicly Hold button long enuff then animation plays. Dont hold it long enought wont acsidently play.
also as im mixing hand gestures also allows me to have alot more animations bound to hand gestures beyond the normal setup
soo instead of being limted to 6 hand gesture animations
I can have 36
clear yew
seems way too complicated
wicked crown
Better than being limited to so little hand gestures. All my use 1 hand gesture are facials All my facials can be combied to make diffrent faces with 2 hand gestures. And I can also make the 2's trigger more.. Some of us a crazy and do the complicated
wicked crown
the issue with that methord if you doing what I think your doing. is it derps out for late joiners
clear yew
you can just use an animation that reset/respawn it and you are done
you can put it on an emote so it doesnt take a hand gesture spot
wicked crown
So you are doing what I think your doing. I dont like that because I would have to explain to a late joiner why they see different. But maby thats just a preference thing. Same thing when it comes to toggle emotes.
clear yew
dont need to explain anything since you can just reset and make it respawn immediately
slim sparrow
Prop toggle syncs to late joiners, as long as the entry state is the same every time
Unless you're holding the shield for a very long time and someone joins in that time
In that case, you might have to reapply or whatever
wicked crown
Its just seemed too unreliable from my experience soo I prefer to avoid it. Maby oneday we'll have away to just use animator parameters like with worlds.
wicked crown
Hand writing the legacy to trigger each other worked perfectly Thanks for the suggestion Rokk.
scenic rover
Need the help of that beautiful community again... I have this Audio Source set up on my avatar, works fine in game but the sound is really really quiet for others and they need to be like inside me or really damn close to hear it. In Unity, I've set the volume to 1 and the max distance was set to 30 (setting it up to 1500 to see if something changes right now...) in linear rolloff. But it keeps getting changed by the SDK I think to max distance 30 and vol. 0.9 with a custom rolloff. Am I missing something here? Or is the SDK hating me?
undone glade
You can check if that OPSAudio component on the audio source is the cause. I tend to remove that out of pure instinct at this point.
@scenic rover
scenic rover
Had some issues with it yourself?
undone glade
Awhile back, but like I said I remove it out of instinct at this point whenever I deal with audio sources.
either that or the audio you're using is not loud in general perhaps.
I can't judge that though since I don't know what you're trying to use.
scenic rover
Yeah, thought about that too, but the audio seems fine
It's just a music from Youtube, "Doom Theme remix"
But I'll check this ONSP thing, I don't even know what it does so I guess removing it won't really do any harm
chrome elbow
how come when i edit the postion in animation nothing happens
when i change it to 1 it automaticly get set back to 0

Okay it seems to have worked, thanks DaemonGrave, you deserve a medal
Still gets the SDK switching settings back down tho, but at least it can be heard now

How do I fix, that my avatar doesnt have a weird stand in vrchat
I tried weight painting, and moving the leg in blender verticall but with no succes
Tagg me if you like
royal summit
Nice 👍. Maybe rotate the legs more inward in the unity rigging scene?
dense granite
Fixed it. I changed the AvatarControllerTemplate
Rotating the legs didnt do anything, because vrchat avatartemplate had an issue or something on this avatar
So I changed the numbers of the legs in the animation
royal summit
👌
fickle rune
dont you use fixed joints to keep objects in place?
royal summit
Yes
fickle rune
there is an issue
i have it appear, and disappear
in unity, when i move the character while it is appeared, then hide it, and make it reappear, its still in the same place and not where my avatar is
royal summit
Yeah it will do that based on avatars location when it is hidden. There’s a method using legacy animators which makes the props coordinates reset when the prop is hidden. I haven’t used the method myself so I can’t explain it but there’s a few people here who know it so hopefully they may explain it.
fickle rune
so who do i ask
royal summit
A couple people who I believe know it ain’t online at the mo. Not sure if it’s been discussed recently but it was talked about a couple of times in this chat
fickle rune
figured it out

@upper parrot
reef mason
If I already placed a different material/shader towards a avatar in a animation state. Do I still have to activate them in the animation set list?
icy crow
@fickle rune make an animation that constantly sets the objects position to 0,0,0 or wherever you want it to start. Then disable that animation when you actually spawn the object
Yeah as long as the particle systems are set to play on awake @upper parrot
I don't know what that tutorial is, but if it's using fixed joint/rigidbodies, then yes
slim sparrow
Animators will start from the beginning every time the object wakes up
clear yew
Yo Rokk do you know of a shader that dissolves a weapon when you spawn it, so it slowly dissolves into the weapon if i'm explaining that correctly
icy crow
were you wondering about the local/world particles being attached to each other? @normal skiff
normal skiff
yeah
only because if that worked without having to use a fixed joint or IK follower it would be useful
icy crow
For me the world PS attached to the local one worked, but it wasn't attached to any bone, just my parent avatar
so I'm not sure about bones
normal skiff
makes sense, so same result as just using a world space one by itself
IK follower will eventually solve all these things anyway, it's just a bit buggy still
icy crow
yeah I've only used it when attaching particles to the head bone which is apparently one of the buggier places to put it
fixed joint/rigidbody works fine though
icy crow
So you want it facing forward, shooting forward?
surreal garden
Easy fix, empty body, rotation to 90
That, then it makes it easier to use world physics later
slim sparrow
@upper parrot do you have collision on it?
If so, it's probably colliding with yourself
Setup your collision layers
valid estuary
Can i make particles that get followed by 4 trails that arc towards the endpoint of the particle?
So they arc outward on fire and on end back inward?
spark drift
Is there a way to allow movement during animations?
Something with a custom animation override or something?
spark drift
oooh
royal summit
Have other humanoid models attached to your main avatar, put an animator on all of em, drag the emote or dance u want into each of the models, hide em and reactive em in an emote or hand gesture
spark drift
I had them as emote, but put them to hand gesture now
but I'm playing on keyboard and somehow I cannot get out of one of the animations
slim sparrow
@spark drift you need to switch to another hand gesture before going back to neutral
Especially if you put it on Fist
It's an issue that keyboard users get, animations don't cancel correctly
spark drift
yeah, just swapped it away from fist
icy crow
is fist shift + F2 ?
I've noticed that on that key, objects enabled with a gesture don't disappear when using an emote
Unlike all the other gesture buttons
slim sparrow
Yeah
It's because Fist is analog
The only thing that works properly on Fist is hand movements
I usually leave it empty, but I might turn my right hand fist into an open hand instead. The open hand slot is already in use for a lot of my avatars
icy crow
Is there a way switch between animation overrides? Or idle animations?
slim sparrow
I don't think so unfortunately, it's been suggested before
Other than different avatars
icy crow
For example be standing by default and then when you activate an emote or something, you switch to a floating movement
slim sparrow
That's possible, but then you'd have to activate a copy of your model that won't respond to your movements in VR
It'll work fine on desktop though
icy crow
Yeah I don't have vr so thats fine
icy crow
Will the bones still move properly?
slim sparrow
Well, then you can just switch to a copy of your model that plays the new "idle" animation.
icy crow
Like head turning
slim sparrow
It'll basically be detached from your armature
You could joint it to your hips though
Or joint his head to your head
I dunno
icy crow
Could you attach each bone to the respective bone on the main model?
slim sparrow
Yes
With fixed joints
But since you probably want a different pose on your "fake" model than your real one, the bone rotations will be off

have the cube already on your avatar, just have it disabled
Then re-enable it and move your character in the animation
graceful turtle

Is there a way to restrict an object from following specified transformations of its parent object? For example I would like to have an object that follows the rotation of the hand, but does not follow the hand position and keeps a fixed location on my avatar. Can that be done?

Possibly with fixed joint/rigidbody. You can constrain rotation/position on the rigidbody. Not exactly sure how it all works though
graceful turtle
I think i got it, hopefully
Fingers crossed
Hmm... SO the animation is there but it wont load
hard eagle
yo moons
clear yew
Is there a way to edit an emote so a specific object appears while you use it?
karmic sparrow
yes, just enable the object in your animation file
clear yew
But what if the animation file isn't connected to a model? How do I connect it?
when you download mixamo animations, is there a way to change the bones from mixamo to the normal mmd bones
karmic sparrow
@clear yew Simply drag and drop the animation on a duplicate of your model, and you can access it in your animations window. Always use a duplicate for animation editing since it messes up your avatar's pose. Once done, the animation will work fine on the undamaged original as well
clear yew
Oh I see! Thank you.
karmic sparrow
To continue about my own issue, I looked into rigidbody and joint components and while it offers the possibility of locking a position, the rotation in my case is still done from the wrist. What I'm actually looking for is a way to follow wrist rotation, but using its own gameobject parent as a pivot point for those rotations. Would that be possible somehow?

covert girder
@clear yew if you change animation type from generic to humanoid in Unity, you'll able to use this animation for every humanoid model
also you can open the animation in Blender and select all bones in Pose mode and in Dope sheet editor type you'll find all local position keys on a time line for each bones

@jade sparrow You can import them in MMD tools. I remember finding a tutorial on youtube about this when I tried it a while ago, just search for "vrchat vmd" and you should find something
jade sparrow
ok will do

i need some help, every time i try to make an animation, Unity just decides "Nah, you're not doing that" and puts the value back to the default no matter what i do
i cant really have Mario walking around all the time with his mouth open
it does that for position and rotation but not scale it seems
yep, scale is the only one that saves
slim sparrow
@gloomy plume you can't directly alter bones like that if they're assigned to the humanoid rig
Unmap the jaw bone
gloomy plume
but then how do people animate hand poses? or are those handled separately?
slim sparrow
You can alter humanoid rig values
The animator properties
But they only work on the hands in gestures
Either way, unmap the jaw bone. Always.

gloomy plume
i dont know then, im sorry
im pretty new to custom animations
restive oar
Thanks tho ^^
icy crow
you want it fixed in the world where you spawn it? @restive oar
restive oar
yes^^
icy crow
put the object under an empty game object, then put a fixed joint onto the empty game object
restive oar
Thats it?
icy crow
yeah, it'll automatically make a rigidbody too, which you might want to set the drag to "infinity" so that the object doesn't jitter when you move around
also make sure the game object with the fixed joint is always enabled, so only have your spawning object disabled by default, then re-enable it in the animation
restive oar
Wow. Thank you so much 🙏 😄
icy crow
alternatively you could just use a world particle with a mesh of whatever object you want

so for infinity i just change it from 0 to sth like 999999 right?

It doesn't sync
Gestures can be kept active on desktop though
Why do you want the glasses on a gesture? Is it because of the poly limit?

2 frames then

i tried making it so the muscles only allow for 1 axis of rotation but that didnt do anything for outside of emotes
gloomy plume
would the be any way to do that on the bone itself? the mesh is all one
torpid wadi
so uh anyone
i tried tweaking with legs chest and neck and there's no proper result that won't make it look weird
clear yew
my goal is to have a gun that actually has animations. not just a 2 frame animation, but longer....
icy crow
don't think so no @upper parrot
what are you trying to do?
its a world particle i'm guessing ^
hmm
subemitters?
shrewd moon
Submitters can move with a particle
icy crow
you could have them spawn on birth
icy crow
what are the particles you want to follow?
like a trail or something?
That should work

Unity's not trash, just not made for vrchat
slim sparrow
GIMP isn't that unintuitive
Trying to explain Blender to newer people was harder
Unity's pretty good for this kind of stuff, it's just that the SDK limits you a lot
shrewd moon
Blender on first sight is sensory overload
slim sparrow
It's also not very intuitive that you need to press A to deselect stuff
You'll get used to it, but still
slim sparrow
That's not really intuitive tbh
pine root
Any idea if the last SDK removed the animators for bones? Because I am trying to make some new animations but can't the animators for the joints anymore.
pine root
Yeah.
I found the problem.
I forgot to rig the fbx to humanoid like an amateur.
lol
I forgot because I had just copied the fbx for another folder in the project and didn't think to check if it was still configed.
gloomy plume
i still cant find how to make a bone not rotate on certain axis
its pretty odd when you see a robot and his head is in his body like this because he's looking downwardshttps://i.imgur.com/1WfDyo7.png
bonus points to anyone who knows the name of the robot in the picture
pine root
Don't remember his name but I do know where he is from.
gloomy plume
the icon on his shoulder is part of his name
pine root
Yeah, I just can't remember the rest of it.
royal summit
Omega? I think that was it? Not sure if the constraints on rigid bodies could help u
gloomy plume
yes, it was E-123 Omega
gloomy plume
also, i tried constraints on rigid bodies but it didnt work
slim sparrow
Probably not possible without scripts.
I think rigid body constraints only prevent the rigid body from moving along certain axes. That is, the rigid body cannot actually move the bone on those axes
But the bone can still be moved through scripts or animators
gloomy plume
well, thats unfortunate if true
gloomy plume
i think thats the only way
gloomy plume
which basically means its not possible because of no custom scripts
slim sparrow
Yep
Besides, you'd get issues with the IK system anyway
Are you on desktop or on VR?
gloomy plume
i use both, but mainly VR
slim sparrow
On desktop, you could probably change your walk animations so it doesn't sway your hands as much
But in VR, the IK system simply cannot be overridden this way
Unless you meddle with fake bones, but I don't think that's possible for your situation.
And even then, you wouldn't be able to constrain their rotation on one axis, you'd make them unable to rotate at all
grizzled snow
How do I have the sound trigger by Gesture and not by default?
grizzled snow
Mind showing me what it's ment to look like?
or guiding me to a video on how it's done?
Because I am not intelligent and i need to be shown how to do it
oof, I cannot figure it out for the life of me
I'm searching everywhere for a tutorial and NOTHING
What do you mean by disable the audio source
can I please get an explaination?
torn pawn
just like you disable an object and enable it with a gesture
you do the same with audio
slim sparrow
There are plenty of tutorials on how to make gesture overrides
grizzled snow
Ye, but nothing on sound
There's adding sound to emotes, and making gesture overrides, but neither show how to add sound to gestures
slim sparrow
Adding sound to emotes should work the same way
You add a property in the gesture override animation that enables the audio source
gloomy plume
On desktop, you could probably change your walk animations so it doesn't sway your hands as much```
i *would* rip Omega's animations from Forces, but the issue there is he only appeared once in a non-pre-rendered cutscene
on the other hand i could rip 06 Omega and *his* animations, but his materials and model would look nowhere near as goodso i might just settle on what i have until i can update him with the proper things
plus, 06 Omega's model isnt that good, and PBR speculars are not easy to make
for reference, here is one of Omega's PBR speculars https://i.imgur.com/2643iZh.jpg

Hello
I got a question about making a walking animation... Is it possible to move bones that are not included in the animator during the animation?
as example a bone group that is connected to the hips called "tail1,2,3,4..."
would be nice if someone has an solution
icy crow
I think you can animate any bone in an animation
slim sparrow
You can't actually animate those in walking
You can animate them yes, but not in your walking overrides for whatever reason.
VRC only takes a select few humanoid bones into account and discards the rest
chilly vapor
@gloomy plume using a face head and rigid bodys, you could probably get the head to only mimic the left right rotation. Downside is that the head would be in your viewspace at all times. As for that specular you posted before, that looks to be a standard multi channel one. You would just need to split it up in photoshop to be something unity can use if you are using the standard shader
depending on the rig though, you might be able to put some of 06's animations on the forces model
gloomy plume
im actually using a custom shader i made in shader forge that can use either PBR speculars or roughness and metallic maps
also thanks for the tip, ill try that out when i get the time later
also, the animations would likely not fit for multiple reasons
for one, 06's models are huge in scale, in addition, differences in models, because of 06's more realistic look and proportions, may cause clipping issues
dull wedge
A lot of my animations do a full 360 when I change the rotation of a model. How do I fix this?
wheat scroll
Is there a way in blender to make a shape key that hides certain faces?
gloomy plume
@chilly vapor what do you mean by a "face head"?
tardy abyss
So I'm trying to figure out the names of all the Hand Gestures (of their corresponding keys).
So far I got Shift+F4 as Fingerpoint, F6 is Thumbsup, F7 is Handgun, and F8 is Fist.
What are the others? I need to know, to set the animation to the right key.
icy crow
Shift + F1: Idle
Shift + F2: Fist
Shift + F3: Open hand
Shift + F4: Finger point
Shift + F5: Victory
Shift + F6: Rock n roll
Shift + F7: Finger gun
Shift + F8: Thumbs up
tardy abyss
Thanks so much.
gloomy plume
ah, that makes more sense
jade sparrow
Does anyone know how to make an animation loop a specified amount of times
spring nova
You could have a secondary animation that keeps it playing a specified amount of time. Or you could just copy the keyfranes a bunch of times
slim sparrow
If it's an animation on a game object, that's easy
You can just change the animation controller
spring nova
Oh yeah, just copy the animation tile a few times
That's much cleaner than dealing with duplicate keyframes
slim sparrow
Not even that
You can just make X states that exit into each other, and have them point to the same animation file
Oh whoops, that's what you said. Thought you said animation file
spring nova
Ah state, that's the word I was looking for. Didn't know what they were called
chrome gorge
Kind of a shot in the dark, but does anyone know where I can find the default animations?
west panther
I've got a gesture that moves an exclamation point via bone out of my head as well as make it spin atop my head. The problem is that when I let go the bone doesn't reset and just continues on. how could I go about making it reset, preferably at the end of the gesture and not just putting a bone reset on a different gesture
wary parcel
Make it its own animator and attach that animation to it
Create an gesture to activate that game object with the animator, remember to keep gestures at 1/60 of a second to not let it get stuck in animation pose for to long.
weary oak
when you work with particles there is usually the option for simulation space (set to world) so they won't move when you move but how do i handle that if i put 2 extra models in the animation which gets active when i trigger the animation?
west panther
ty shelf, im not exactly sure how but from your comment I derived that what I was doing wrong was putting the bone's position and scale on the bone's animator instead of the gesture!
exotic pilot
One of my gestures, when played, causes all my other gestures to do the same gesture. Does anyone know how to fix this?
sand wigeon
^ bump
lilac cave
Gestures should ONLY be one frame long
Use what the previous person did to extend to length
Well its 2 frames lg
You have a start at 0 and the end at 1
Think of gestures as an on/off switch
You only need to make the on though
When you dont have the gesture on ingame it would be considered off
exotic pilot
so i cant do like an animation as a gesture?
i would like to move around during my animation
but i assume i cant?
@lilac cave
if i dont want it to break
west panther
its been mentioned here several time but what you can do is hide your body and spawn in one with an animator with the emote you want
west panther
i read through about a month of posts before asking, i prolly saw it like, 3 or 4 times
lilac cave
Mayos solve may have issues with visimes
west panther
true, i presumed he just wanted to do a little dance
exotic pilot
hm, well mine is more that
i have a pet that i want to push forward and slowly bring out particles with a song
~50 seconds long
and new particle enabled every 10 seconds
exotic pilot
no bones, only moving the position and enabling particles
on the same topic,if a particle is in world space and the particle system for it is disabled, does it still stay in the world?
lilac cave
I'd just use the empty object and anim combo
lilac cave
You'll have to check with the particles but I think they will die once you deactive gesture
Pretty sure there was a work around though
west panther
instead of disabling the particle system just change its emission to 0
lilac cave
Whoop there it is
Also you make an empty object as a child of the armature and make that have a dup of your avatar
And make the empty the controller for the anim
exotic pilot
@west panther in that method, do you keep the particles always on, and when you enable you increase the emission?
i see
west panther
im not too sure I've never used a particle 😂
thats just what the smart people around me do
that i can comprehend
lilac cave
It'll stop making particles but it'll keep the ones already spawned
west panther
So what Ive gathered as I tried to expand upon my experiment is that you cant toggle an animator with an animation. its like that want me to make a separate mesh X|
weary oak
does anyone know how to make particles not follow the avatar when i move around? and can i apply that aswell on extra models which are active through a animation?
exotic pilot
make the particles world space
weary oak
what about the extra models? can i do that to them too?
west panther
i think for that you attach a fixed joint to it so when it spawn it stays still, setting drag to infinite or something
weary oak
the fixed joint worked thats all good but the particles are still following me
i'll try fixed joint on them aswell who knows maybe it works
west panther
i think you can put the particles on an empty object and do the same with the fixed joint? not sure
weary oak
i intend to do that if it won't work now
haven't uploaded yet (with fix joint on particles)
west panther
gl! i believe in youuuuuu

aight it worked!

valid estuary
Yeah found another method which stays onbeat it just takes forever since you cant like hear the song in the animation at the right point i literally have to start and listen up to that point if it works

so I've animated a weapon to spawn in my right hand on the hand gun gesture, but on desktop, if you use the left shift gesture button, the weapon appears but the right hand doesn't animate. Is there a way to make it so the weapon doesn't spawn if the left button is used. Or alternatively, is there a way to make the left button make the right hand animate?
valid estuary
somehow if you go into the override script or something
icy crow
I don't want to mess it up for vr users though. It's just a bit awkward having to activate the gesture with the right shift, otherwise you'll have a weapon appear but no fingers are animated to hold it properly

if using 2 weapons then they need to be under game object, but just 1 should work

rough eagle
So Im having trouble. I have a character that already has a .dae and bones but I dont know anything about rigging and wondering if I can just upload as is since it already has a .dae
slim sparrow
If it already has bones, you don't have to rig it yourself, just import it into Unity
You might have to fix it up in Blender though, but you'll see
rough eagle
Is it ok if Unity is saying it doesnt have a chest in rigging?
slim sparrow
You need Hips, Spine and Chest
You can subdivide the spine in Blender if it doesn't have a chest
But it might have a chest, just not auto assigned
rough eagle
http://puu.sh/Axcp4/b230128da8.jpg heres what I have
marker didnt show up tho >_>
oh yes it did, just have to click on it
Ok so, the marker... Is what Unity is saying the Spine is
slim sparrow
You need hips, spine and chest
If unity maps it wrong, you can reassign it yourself
If you only have hips, spine and neck, you need to subdivide the spine
rough eagle
oh snap, I forgot I could totally upload warframe models too
rough eagle
someone REALLY needs to make an easy to animate program
Click on the bone, move it to where you want it, click next slide in the animation.
Then it'd be as simple as doing stop motion animation
clear yew
Is it the animation that does that or does the model just appear like that on its own?
I just used a generic rig for my eevee avatar.
rough eagle
this evee has a skeleton that came with it, when I go to make say an idle animation... it did thatr
ah.
So how do I get it to NOT do that?
if say... I just wanna make an idle animation where her tail wags
I do have a .smd and a .dae for her
dunno what the smd is for
icy crow
if you want the tail wagging all the time, make an animation where you make the tail wag, then add it to an animation component on the avatar
i think that'll work for generic avatars
rough eagle
What about eye blinking and making a triggerable animation for emotions?
icy crow
I don't think emotes work well for non-humanoid avatars

i have now even added the audio sorce to a game onject and then done it rhough that but it still dosnt work
the worst part is i have mad a audio gesture before
but i cant remeber how i did it nor can i go back and see how i did to
sigh
i even watched that vid
dont know hat im doing wron

Did you remake the animation after changing the audio sources location?
And is the animation exactly 0.1 seconds long, with the source enabled on both start and end frames?
@clear yew
clear yew
yes
and i think i know what i did wrong
hang on
nvm deleting the ONSP audio source did not fix it
Just make it linear and drag the bar so its flat on the top line
Lmao
U wont lag people with 100 particles per second
Add collision and bounce with burst particles and subemitters with 50000+ particles and trails and noise if you wanna do that
Point light doesnt do much
slim sparrow
Realtime lights is laggy unless you disable shadow casting
The bigger the light, the more laggy it will be
Any light is realtime on avatars
The other kind of light is baked, which only applies when you're making your own worlds.
Realtime light is light that is calculated at runtime rather than baked into the map
Anyway, a stroby effect usually means that the light isn't constant enough. Isn't that kinda what you want on flame particles though?
If you want a constant light, try an actual light object
It could also be the case that not every particle emits light
You can still put it in a prefab if the parent object contains both the light and the particle system
Or you can literally put the light component on the particle system object
You can also change the distribution of lights on the particles so it's random
Rather than sequential
It's the "random distribution" checkbox on the Lights module
Make sure to set a sensible maximum too
If it's a fire particle, it shouldn't need too many lights
clear yew
You can set lights to be on one every x particles if you want; there's a ratio option inside the light section I believe
The light section of the particle system*

In armature?
Also I am seeking on how I can have like a rainbow after image effect of a character
how would i go about doing that
clear yew
Probably put it as early in the armature as you can; so probably parented to the armature itself and not anything inside it. It'll follow the character but not any specific bone
I'm not sure about the afterimage effect though that's definitely something shader related
grizzled snow
I want something like that
because I'm working on a god asriel
as well as regular asriel

Can't you add more animations into the animation component? Change the size to 2 and drag it in there
And if that doesn't work then you'll probably have to merge the 2 animations into 1

How do I make a sword appear in one hand of a gesture but not the other
Say if i wanted to make a sword appear in one hand when triggering the gesture for that hand

@grizzled snow you can trigger 2 different animations at the same time with both controllers
So say i have a sword in my right hand ill do the victory gesture and bring it out but then I’ll do hand gun gesture on my left hand to bring out a sword on my left

how come when I play my ^ ^ the eyes open slightly when i look up? I don't think it's the weights, since the problem doesn't occur in blender when I turn on the shapekey, and move the head/bones in that area in the same way D:
also, is there a way to just disable lower lid movement altogether? even when i put in an animation for the lowerlid movement that only moves a single vertex very slightly where it wouldn't be seen, lower lid movement still seems to happen. which messes with the expressions :<
grizzled snow
okay so exporting the model as FBX doesn't have it's shape keys

Question, is there a memory cap on audio files with gestures?
clear yew
I've seen some rediculously long music tracks played through gestures so I'm not sure; larger files will take longer to upload though
I do have a question myself; what's the standard run speed in an animation controller? I have a faint alarm sound I want to activate when I'm going much faster than normal (worlds that have raised run speed) but the alarm always seems to activate at normal run speeds or not at all
languid elm
Well... The issue I am having is my song is short (1:49 mins) and has three different particle effects (very small) and the audio is literally sounding like it's running out of batteries...
clear yew
I actually have that exact same issue but my audio is only a second or so long
So I don't think it's related to length
languid elm
Glad to see that I'm not the only one 😋
Well, someone told me it could be a memory cap, but I don't think that's the issue.
clear yew
@clear yew you mean the normal run speed in vrchat ? without modifier ?
Yeah, I want to make sure my run animation is playing at the correct speed and such
i think i saw somebody say 2m/s with normal walk and 4 m/s when running
I hope that's the same in the animation controller. Thanks!
MovementZ set to 4.0 should be the same thing then I assume?
I'm using a generic rig which is the only reason I'm wondering
you'll have to test
i honestly have no idea
never messed with speed
i just remember that somebody asked that and a chat mod gave these numbers
Then I'll use them as a basis for my testing.
I'll put my run animation at around 4.1 and see what happens
languid elm
Also, can someone tell me how to listen to the audio when I'm in play mode? All I see is the animation and cannot hear any music. Can only hear it if I double click it.

I have an animation with audio set to a gesture, but if the animation doesn't end before I turn it off, the audio becomes out of sync with the rest of the animation
slim sparrow
Gesture needs to be 1 frame long
And if you go from Gesture A to Gesture B, gesture A will play for a split second

Nope, you need to activate an object that plays the animation itself
icy crow
so i attach the animation to an animation component, then just enable it in the animation?

I have no idea what you want to do so I can't give any advice on that

Is there anyway to fix it? Because I have googled it and found people having the same issue, however no solution was found there.

I was told of a script you can use in unity to make world particlwe work a lot easier does anyone know what its called?
Like it allows it to track a hand and everything
ocean knot
VRC IK_Follower
but it doesnt work correctly right now - i would stick with using fixed joint/rigidbody method

I have an avatar with shape keys that I want to use for a long animation. I've duplicated the model and put it under a gameobject, then created a gesture animation to to hide my main skinned mesh renderer and show the duplicate model which plays the animation on entry. Except now I don't have VR IK and i'm stuck in the "muscle pose". The only way I found to keep the IK is to make the armature children of the main armature but then the bones are "outside" the animation gameobject so I can't animate things attached to his hand in the animation timeline. Is there another way around this? I tried to rigidbody every bone but it messed everything up.

@orchid trench you need to swap models? if possible, stick with meshes that are properly attached to the armature. You can have multiple meshes in blender exported to the fbx and enable/disable them separetely, though i'm not sure if that's what you need.

The problem is once I start animating them for longer than 2 frames they stop working properly. I was searching through the discord and read that you had to create a gesture override to trigger the animation on a duplicate model to get around that.

oh yes

It would be fine if it was a preanimated dance or something, but I want to keep VR tracking

right
so if you just duplicate "Body" and don't put it under a skinned mesh render, add the Animator component to that with the animation, instead of under a gameobject, i think it should work @orchid trench
i haven't tested in game though
very cool idea though, want to try this

let me know if it works :D

How do you make an animation, trigger another animation
white herald
@slender latch if the gesture override animation enables a hidden gameobject, and the hidden gameobject has its own Animator component
