#

You have to go in the Animator tab on the viewfinder and right click "entry", make transition to the animation.

#

so that it plays on entry

slender latch Jun 4, 2018, 1:38 AM

#

@orchid trench

#

I went to get food but uh, I have no idea where that is

orchid trench Jun 4, 2018, 1:39 AM

#

if you have the Animator on your object it should show up next to the Asset Store tab

slender latch Jun 4, 2018, 1:40 AM

#

doesn't say entry, only exit

#

am i dumb

#

🤔

orchid trench Jun 4, 2018, 1:41 AM

#

weird, mine shows Any State, Entry and Exit

🤔

#

i done goofed somewhere then?

#

Cause the animation plays perfectly fine.

clear yew Jun 4, 2018, 1:51 AM

#

I need help with unity, my avatar has a few audio sounds and they’re all together. Meaning that I have them on only one gesture but it’s colliding with the others, so it sounds like everything is playing all at once.

clear yew Jun 4, 2018, 3:35 AM

#

Try copying the first frame of the idle animation into your new animation and use that as a starting point

#

Yes, there should be a file with some animations in it

#

Or at least one frame of the animations; it's all you need

clear yew Jun 4, 2018, 6:24 AM

#

It's possible with generic rigs but I'm not sure about humanoid rigs

#

I wonder if an animation can activate an animator on something completely different and cause a chain reaction that way

#

As in:
Palm sets [something].Animator.Enabled to 1
Fist sets [something].Animator.Enabled to 0 again

#

It could probably still work in emotes as well; just activating the Animator at some point during the animation. I'm not sure if it'll stay active when the animation ends though

#

Alternatively, you could merge the two animations together.

slow estuary Jun 4, 2018, 7:36 AM

#

How can I keep my animated object from following me when I do the animation

valid estuary Jun 4, 2018, 8:16 AM

#

Render it in world space

slim sparrow Jun 4, 2018, 8:24 AM

#

Isn't that a project setting?

#

There's a setting that serializes stuff as YAML instead.

#

No idea how to change it back

exotic pilot Jun 4, 2018, 10:00 AM

#

is there a way to put audio on a world particle

regal hollow Jun 4, 2018, 10:03 AM

#

Not really

#

You could try timing an audio source to trigger at the same time as your particle

#

But you can't make it follow the particle

exotic pilot Jun 4, 2018, 10:04 AM

#

ah, its more like i want the audio to come from the same position in world space

#

its a non-moving particle

#

ah i got it

#

rigidbody on the world particle and fixed joint the audio

#

lmao

torn pawn Jun 4, 2018, 10:22 AM

#

@exotic pilot does it work?

exotic pilot Jun 4, 2018, 10:23 AM

#

yea

torn pawn Jun 4, 2018, 10:25 AM

#

i mean like in game work work

#

cuz what u see in unity doesn't always translate to game

exotic pilot Jun 4, 2018, 10:25 AM

#

yea

#

its a bit buggy though

clear yew Jun 4, 2018, 11:54 AM

#

I need help with unity, my avatar has a few audio sounds and they’re all together. Meaning that I have them on only one gesture but it’s colliding with the others, so it sounds like everything is playing all at once.

regal hollow Jun 4, 2018, 11:59 AM

#

You must be triggering them all with the gesture

clear yew Jun 4, 2018, 12:00 PM

#

i have a few audio files on my character and when i goto use it the audio from the on just overlaps the other one

#

how would i optimize it to a single gesture?

regal hollow Jun 4, 2018, 12:02 PM

#

You want to trigger them all with one gesture?

torn pawn Jun 4, 2018, 12:09 PM

#

u put them all under a parent, have all disabled, then use combo gesture to trigger different ones

#

lets say u activate clip 1 2 3 with your finger, victory and thumbsup

#

put them all under object that u activate with openhands

#

ull be able to trigger sound only when your openhands is active

clear yew Jun 4, 2018, 12:56 PM

#

no not with one gesture, why dont people read what i post? jesus...

#

i want sound to be separated for the gesture

#

it didnt work

regal hollow Jun 4, 2018, 1:03 PM

#

If you want people to understand you, write legibly and don't be so pissy.

clear yew Jun 4, 2018, 1:03 PM

#

How can i be anymore clear on what i want, dont be a jackass

regal hollow Jun 4, 2018, 1:04 PM

#

All you had to say was that you wanted to play your audio sources in sequence

clear yew Jun 4, 2018, 1:04 PM

#

im pretty sure thats what i said

regal hollow Jun 4, 2018, 1:05 PM

#

It isn't though sweetheart.

clear yew Jun 4, 2018, 1:05 PM

#

i said my audio is overlapping from one gesture to another

#

and it shouldnt

regal hollow Jun 4, 2018, 1:07 PM

#

And you got your answer from very cool dude

clear yew Jun 4, 2018, 1:14 PM

#

i dont understand what he said because ive never done this before

#

plus everytime i go and mess around with something it wants to instantly record everything

regal hollow Jun 4, 2018, 1:18 PM

#

You can click the red button on the animation window to disable recording

clear yew Jun 4, 2018, 1:18 PM

#

yeah but it comes back on even if i click on my model

#

like it never turns off

#

Well since no one wants to help me out i guess this project is just a waste of time that i could be using to be on vrchat. Thanks a alot everyone....

regal hollow Jun 4, 2018, 1:22 PM

#

No problem dude! Let us know if you need more help.

woeful seal Jun 4, 2018, 2:51 PM

#

anyone know of a unity anim for giving the middle finger i can download?

undone glade Jun 4, 2018, 2:55 PM

#

If you want to do just a middle finger I can just walk you through it if you like.

#

Do you have the animation tab by chance?

slim sparrow Jun 4, 2018, 2:58 PM

#

Muscle animation editor makes this a lot easier

undone glade Jun 4, 2018, 2:58 PM

#

Definitely

slim sparrow Jun 4, 2018, 2:59 PM

#

But basically, you'll want to set all stretch values to -1. Set all stretch values of the middle finger to +1. You might have to tone down the stretch a slight bit if you want the finger to be straight

#

Optionally, you can spread and stretch the thumb

undone glade Jun 4, 2018, 2:59 PM

#

Eh, I usually do about a .8, .8, .9. but that's simply preference.

#

But that's the summary of it

woeful seal Jun 4, 2018, 3:47 PM

#

are you guys talking about the muscle editor? is it an asset?

slim sparrow Jun 4, 2018, 3:50 PM

#

Yes

#

It costs money though

#

But it's really good

woeful seal Jun 4, 2018, 3:56 PM

#

k, thanks peeps

woeful seal Jun 4, 2018, 4:22 PM

#

anyway to mirror it to extra hands?

#

i guess i could re-rig the other arms and make multiple animations

#

but then i can't use anim controller for overrides and then i'd have to do that weird round about way of making another instance of the avatar a child of the main and have another anim which makes both instances visible/hidden

#

i don't think re-rigging will help anyway

slim sparrow Jun 4, 2018, 4:40 PM

#

Fixed joints

#

Joint the fake fingers to the real ones

#

It basically always works, even in VR, and without having to do weird animation stuff

#

Sometimes it makes stuff stretch though, no idea why.

compact obsidian Jun 4, 2018, 4:51 PM

#

yo

#

how do people make this cameras as overlays

#

where they can see their own avatar in front of them

woeful seal Jun 4, 2018, 4:58 PM

#

@slim sparrow if i add fixed joints to my main avatar instance does that mean any anim will apply to the connected joints?

slim sparrow Jun 4, 2018, 4:58 PM

#

Yeah

#

The connected arms will copy the rotations of your real ones

regal hollow Jun 4, 2018, 5:01 PM

#

@compact obsidian What streamers do is use the stream cam ingame with the greenscreen background, which they can add as a video source for their stream in obs etc.

dusky junco Jun 4, 2018, 5:07 PM

#

I think this is the right place to put this.
For whatever unknown reason, some of the shape keys on this model randomly "twitch."
The current version you see here has no animation overrides and is using the default set provided by the SDK.
I have no other information or clue as to why this is happening, so apologies on that.

woeful seal Jun 4, 2018, 5:08 PM

#

@slim sparrow i wouldn't want them always active, i tried seeing if i could do something l like adding break force as a anim property but it doesn't get added

slim sparrow Jun 4, 2018, 5:09 PM

#

@dusky junco blink

#

Your avatar has eye tracking, but the first four blend shapes in Unity are not blinking and lower eyelid related.

dusky junco Jun 4, 2018, 5:09 PM

#

So it's just connected to the wrong shapes?

slim sparrow Jun 4, 2018, 5:09 PM

#

Unmap the eyes or give them working shape keys. If you don't want blinking, have CATS generate the eye tracking without blinking, or make four "dummy" shape keys in Blender that move one vertice a tiny bit

#

Yeah

#

You can't configure eye tracking yourself

woeful seal Jun 4, 2018, 5:11 PM

#

@slim sparrow is there a way to to have fixed joints disabled and enabled by anims?

slim sparrow Jun 4, 2018, 5:18 PM

#

Yes, but it'll be bad

#

The extra arms won't snap to your real ones, they'll kinda stay in place if disabled, and start copying again when enabled again

woeful seal Jun 4, 2018, 5:19 PM

#

what will be bad?

#

i don't understand

regal hollow Jun 4, 2018, 5:21 PM

#

Your arms will follow the real ones when the fixed joint is activated

#

When the joint is dissabled they will stop following

#

and remain fixed

#

so when you activate the fixed joint again that will start following but they wont be in right place

#

in relation to your real arms

woeful seal Jun 4, 2018, 5:23 PM

#

i see

#

maybe i should stick to manually animating it rather than using muscle editor

regal hollow Jun 4, 2018, 5:29 PM

#

Muscle animator is a life saver

#

It saves so much time

woeful seal Jun 4, 2018, 5:35 PM

#

i understand but i would like to animate more than 2 arms without having to have the extra arms always following the main 2

slim sparrow Jun 4, 2018, 5:39 PM

#

What would be the easiest way to have another model follow me, including walking animations etc?

#

I already have a full animation set for the second model, but I'm wondering how I would apply it

#

So that it walks when I walk

regal hollow Jun 4, 2018, 5:42 PM

#

You could try putting all the keyframes into one anim file

clear yew Jun 4, 2018, 5:42 PM

#

either rigid body or custom run animation

#

and you animate both models

slim sparrow Jun 4, 2018, 5:48 PM

#

Urgh

#

Was kinda hoping I could just pass the animator state to the child somehow

#

I know you can do some weird fuckery if you have an object with the animator component's Avatar slot set to a child object's avatar

#

But that would make my own avatar T-posed

midnight moss Jun 4, 2018, 6:32 PM

#

Hey, does someone know how to make a gif an animation ?

west panther Jun 4, 2018, 8:01 PM

#

@upper parrot i think u could hide 2 extra body mesh that when the gesture is played, 10 seconds of audio go with the 10 seconds of 2nd body's blank animator, then making armor do its thing, then switching to the 3rd body mesh which activates with the armor. Its convoluted but not impossible to implement

median phoenix Jun 4, 2018, 8:04 PM

#

can i override idle/prone idle/ walk/run FW and BW animations?

#

it seems like not working some reason assume i can override them for humanoid avatar.

violet kraken Jun 4, 2018, 8:16 PM

#

yup it works

median phoenix Jun 4, 2018, 8:17 PM

#

well then

#

i make animation from blender, and imported into unity

#

extracted those files by duplicating from legacy setting

#

and put them into assigned tabs in override controller

#

then put the override controller into Descriptor section

#

but some reason, avatar cannot able to read the animation and do nothing in game.

muted prairie Jun 4, 2018, 9:06 PM

#

Is there something special about the idle animation on an override controller ? Do i have to check a box somewhere ?

#

Nevermind, i'm a goof.

slim sparrow Jun 4, 2018, 9:18 PM

#

Lol

#

Is there a way to have two Animators on an object by any chance? I think this would break a ton of stuff, but I tried doing it by serializing the scene as YAML and editing the scene file directly. Didn't work obviously

Anyone know where to get the orange justice animation?

neat path Jun 5, 2018, 5:39 AM

#

I have a gesture that enables a game object that gets stuck. The game object is a fire breath, and the gesture is only animated with the 0:00 and 0:01 frames. I took off the looping and made the duration one .1 to see if that would help, but I still get stuck on the gesture if I use it and it super slowly transitions to the next one I'm trying to use, any solutions?

slim sparrow Jun 5, 2018, 5:49 AM

#

@neat path is it on fist?

neat path Jun 5, 2018, 5:49 AM

#

No it's on handgun

slim sparrow Jun 5, 2018, 5:49 AM

#

It needs to be 1 frame long at any rate, and if it's on fist, you need to do another gesture to cancel it

neat path Jun 5, 2018, 5:50 AM

#

It's one frame long and it's not on fist

#

I can stop gesturing and it will stop the particle system

#

But if I try to use another gesture it will use it again

#

And I have to wait it out while my hands very slowly transition to the next gesture I'm trying to use

slim sparrow Jun 5, 2018, 5:59 AM

#

If your hands transition slowly, one of your gesture animations are too long.

#

Double check that there aren't any keyframes at 1 second

neat path Jun 5, 2018, 6:04 AM

#

Okay, thanks.

signal elm Jun 5, 2018, 7:46 AM

#

Can you put an animation on each hand?

#

Like I am currently animating genji's Dragonblade and Wakizashi

#

And I want to only be able to pull out his dragonblade with right hand and his Wakizashi with left hand is that possible to bind it like that?

clear yew Jun 5, 2018, 8:07 AM

#

U can override for example handgun for dragomblade and roknroll for wakizashi.
But even if u set dragonblade on right hand handgun the left hand handgun also will trigger it

#

(If u even understand what i said, sorry)

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 8:14 AM

#

Gestures are not separated into left hand and right hand yet

#

The best you can do is have a gesture to activate weapon a, and have another to activate gesture b

#

*weapon

#

Hands are treated as separate ingame though, so you can have left hand activate weapon a, and have right hand activate weapon b

signal elm Jun 5, 2018, 8:17 AM

#

Ah so I can't currently just set rocknroll to pull out the weapon on a certain hand

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 8:17 AM

#

Just remember that l hand and r hand will both be able to activate weapon a and b

signal elm Jun 5, 2018, 8:17 AM

#

But I can bind two different gestures

#

And makes sure I know which hand I'm using it on lol

#

Also I don't think this is the exact area for this

#

But everything except my weapons like shrink in game

#

My entire model except swords become smaller ingame

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 8:19 AM

#

When you move a bone, it happens seemingly randomly, or it spawns smaller then it should be?

signal elm Jun 5, 2018, 8:20 AM

#

It spawn and is shown in selection shorter than it should be

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 8:21 AM

#

Did you scale the mesh "Body" by scaling the mesh, not the the armature at any point?

#

In unity.

#

Also, ensure the mesh is sized correctly in unity in general

#

Have both the weapons and mesh active and compare sizes

signal elm Jun 5, 2018, 8:25 AM

#

So my friend told me as a beginner it was fine to do this but I split the model into meshes instead of using body

#

Also I should probably try to scale in unity

#

Is there any references to help scale?

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 8:25 AM

#

You'll have issues if the head isn't called Body firstly

#

There is the default model in the sdk

#

I'll give you the location in a sec

#

VRCSDK/Examples/Sample Assets/TutorialAvatar

#

It should be there

#

Make sure you're scaling the armature, not the meshes

slim sparrow Jun 5, 2018, 9:14 AM

#

Oh yeah, and you should definitely not split your meshes

#

At least, the final product in Unity should be one mesh for your main model

#

Having the weapon as a separate mesh is fine

#

Someone told me that you can use your own animation controllers with Final IK, but is this true? I doubt how well this would work

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 10:14 AM

#

So

#

Everyone knows that when you making animation, we have to make a duplication first in order to make one

#

when we apply the animation, avatar do weird shape right?

#

if that weird position kept carries on to when i apply animation into custom override, what is the problem?

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 10:17 AM

#

You dont want to upload with the weird position

#

Thats all

#

I think that would mean you want it to be t or a pose before you upload, even if you have a custom idle

#

It is fine to have the weird pose with hand gestures but for others its a no no

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 10:21 AM

#

hum

#

so i found out it is because mainly i'm using animation for "generic clip" for "humanoid" avatar

#

Is there anyway i can convert them around?

#

wonder why the avatar wasn't moving hands, legs, and etc even i try to run on duplicate model, and that was the reason i guess

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 10:23 AM

#

If its an imported animation (built into the fbx) you want to set that avatar to humaniod

#

Oh thought that was a question

#

Well gj anyway!

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 10:24 AM

#

yes, it is an imported animation that i made from blender

#

i already set my avatar into humanoid

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 10:25 AM

#

Both need to be humanoid, and masking needs to be applied if you have any bones that aren't part of the humanoid bone structure

#

Eg a cape

#

Other then that there shouldn't be any issues

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 10:26 AM

#

oh well

#

i think you give me the way

#

i think i extract the animation file while fbx files was set into generic

#

i will try it to extract them after when i change into humanoid

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 10:28 AM

#

Humanoid, apply masking, duplicate animation, add duplicate to controller

#

Easy if you know how

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 10:28 AM

#

so what apply masking is

#

just simply drag my avatar into the right down cornor of video?

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 10:29 AM

#

No

#

It's within the settings

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 10:30 AM

Create from this model

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 10:37 AM

so

#

sorry for saying this late

#

but i made avatar bone and animation from Blender and import them together

#

isnt that meaning masking is already set into the avatar that comes with?

#

Blender isn't unity

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 10:39 AM

#

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 10:39 AM

#

Unity has this feature for game devs

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 10:40 AM

#

hum

#

so should i go down to "transform" and check all the boxes?

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 10:40 AM

#

So they can reduce animations

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 10:40 AM

#

even for the parts that is not humanoid?

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 10:41 AM

#

If you animated them, tick em

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 10:41 AM

#

aye aye

#

check them all

#

then i can extract them right?

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 10:43 AM

#

Yes is duplicate it will be fine

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 10:43 AM

#

thanks, i will let you know how it went

#

: D

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 10:44 AM

#

You can open the window animator in unity, chose the avatar you want the anim to be assigned to and then drag

#

No copy and paste!

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 10:45 AM

#

aye

#

so far so good, i just try to put one animation into duplicate avatar, there was no distortion in pose nor location. everything worked fine!

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 10:49 AM

#

👍

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 10:50 AM

#

so when i put them into override controller

#

are they automatically become looped?

#

or should i set look option at the animation file?

#

I dont remember, but I think it defaults to loop

As long and you aren't doing gestures with more then two frames and your walking etc. Animations have rotation to be facing the right direction, but there is no movement, only rotation you should be good!

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 10:52 AM

#

my walking is 50 frames

#

idle is quit longer tho

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 10:53 AM

#

I dont know if there is a cut off for the time, but as long as they loop id think they're good

slim sparrow Jun 5, 2018, 10:53 AM

#

Gestures are looped even if the animation itself is not, I think

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 10:53 AM

#

i see

slim sparrow Jun 5, 2018, 10:53 AM

#

Or it at least stays active, so if the two frames are identical it doesn't matter if it's looping or not

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 10:54 AM

#

humm

slim sparrow Jun 5, 2018, 10:54 AM

#

I accidentally put a 30 second blink animation on my fingerpoint once, could not figure out wtf was going on

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 10:54 AM

#

I had maya happy crying once

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 10:54 AM

#

alright i set all the animation

#

and try to see how it look in game

#

give me a min

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 10:55 AM

#

And it was longer then 2 frames

#

So it went on forever

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 10:56 AM

#

xD

#

well

#

they are not looping

#

xD

#

and seems like everything is to working some reason

#

model position got fixed tho

#

i think, i have to manually go into debug setting and put animation file into legacy

#

then put them into loop

#

i think...

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 11:00 AM

#

If you have a custom blink, yes

#

For gestures no

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 11:01 AM

#

it's idle motion

#

so it suppose to be the same i guess..?

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 11:01 AM

#

Walks etc is a no iirc

#

As long as it loops it should be fine

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 11:01 AM

#

well

#

it is not looping xD

#

and half of surface animation is not working

#

gotta find why tho..

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 11:02 AM

#

When you go to upload you can see in the normal view if idle is working

#

Make sure you have the vrchat avatar overrides in use

I've heard people have issues with it blank

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 11:04 AM

#

what do u mean for other one then?

slim sparrow Jun 5, 2018, 11:04 AM

#

Just make sure the avatar is in there (which it is by default)

#

Literally all my avatars have no animation controller assigned in the Animator

#

All it does is change which animation your avatar plays in the preview screen

#

In your avatar menu

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 11:05 AM

#

well

#

still gotta find the missing animations and loop issue

slim sparrow Jun 5, 2018, 11:06 AM

#

Walk animations are weird

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 11:06 AM

#

That could be used to determine if its looping though

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 11:06 AM

#

on unity it looks same tho

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 11:06 AM

#

Ingame, does it loop or nah

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 11:06 AM

#

i mean same in terms of original animation

slim sparrow Jun 5, 2018, 11:06 AM

#

Walking animations sometimes fail to loop if you're also trying to run in-between

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 11:06 AM

#

so here is my animation how it looks, think about heart beat that something pumping

#

i have those pumping effect animation on the surface of my avatar

#

at least there are 4 of them

#

but some reason those animation are not working

#

and not looping

slim sparrow Jun 5, 2018, 11:07 AM

#

Wait, you're animating bones in your walking animation?

#

Ones that aren't part of the humanoid rig?

#

Could you post the properties you're using in your animation here? Just a simple screenshot of your dopesheet

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 11:08 AM

#

so

#

you mean, i shouldn't mask the bones that makes that pumping animation

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 11:10 AM

#

No, that means they won't show

slim sparrow Jun 5, 2018, 11:10 AM

#

VRChat's humanoid rig animation controller has an avatar mask applied to the walking animation

#

Which makes it only affect specific bones

#

If you try to animate other bones, it won't work. I haven't tested enabling/disabling objects though, although I heard shape keys can actually work.

#

Maybe try turning the pump stuff into shape keys rather than bones

#

It's similar to how gestures can only move your fingers (although regular non-humanoid bones are not excluded from gestures). And how they only move the fingers on the hand you use the gesture on.

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 11:13 AM

#

so basically as conclusion, in idle or walking animation , other than normal humanoid bones wont work. correct?

#

i wanted this pumping animation as default setting for my avatar that is why i choose use Idle animation, but seems like that was not a good idea.

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 11:15 AM

#

Oh if you want it to play when you walk, idle etc, just set it as you would with a custom blink

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 11:16 AM

#

but those animations are bound together with walk and idle

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 11:16 AM

#

So you only wanted it on idle?

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 11:16 AM

#

is that a problem? should i make separate animation for them?

#

no, actually not xD

#

want them to be on all the time

slim sparrow Jun 5, 2018, 11:17 AM

#

Is it the same animation for forward and backward?

#

Oh yeah, it is

#

You might be able to put it on a legacy animation and toggle the animation component instead

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 11:17 AM

#

yes, that is same animation

#

should i make them separate too?

#

walk fWD Back

#

even tho they are basically the same animations

slim sparrow Jun 5, 2018, 11:18 AM

#

I don't think so

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 11:18 AM

#

Well if you need to be facing backwards when you walk make two

#

But if not only do one

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 11:19 AM

#

so

#

for my idle animation

#

that animation has large motion that involve head movement

#

it basically swings the head front and back

#

but seems like because head bone is bound to my vision (aka mouse pointing direction) only neck is moving, not head xD

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 11:24 AM

#

It'd think that'd work normally, but it might be best that you dont have it anyway

#

Your view point doesn't seem to follow head so you'll have issues seeing

#

Since you'll be seeing a neck and or head swinging back and forth 24/7

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 11:26 AM

#

wait

#

you saying my view position also will follow with it?

#

lol

#

wait

#

it wont

#

well, here it is not a big problem, i check and it wont block my view position.

#

the problem is, this thing is not working xD

lilac cave Jun 5, 2018, 11:35 AM

#

There isn't really any non painful way to fix that so id probably drop the idle

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 11:36 AM

#

xD

#

trying to solve issues here

#

i'm trying to un-mask everything that is not part of humanoid bone

#

try it our to see whether head and rest of body is moving properly

#

and convert pumping animation into way people set their avatar as blinking animation.

#

dunno why my idle is not looping...

#

: *

#

some reason, walking animation working pretty well

#

but idle is only the problem

clear yew Jun 5, 2018, 1:04 PM

#

I have a running animation but some reason model clips through floor any reason why?

slim sparrow Jun 5, 2018, 1:25 PM

#

Try ticking "Bake root transform Y" on the animation @clear yew

#

And make sure it's not sinking lower when played in Unity, otherwise you'll need to add/fix root transform yourself

median phoenix Jun 5, 2018, 1:29 PM

#

@slim sparrow i'm just decide to use regular idle and walking animation

#

but when my avatar decide to move from idle to walk (any direction) some reason its floating

#

how can i solve this?

#

all my avatar is set at origin tho.. 0,0,0

halcyon bramble Jun 5, 2018, 2:05 PM

@halcyon bramble your animation is too long

You forgot to remove the keyframe at 1 second

halcyon bramble Jun 5, 2018, 2:16 PM

#

What really??? I thought that was normal??

slim sparrow Jun 5, 2018, 2:56 PM

#

No, gestures need to be exactly 1 frame long

#

One at 0:00 and one at 0:01 @halcyon bramble

#

You have a keyframe at 1:00 too

#

I can see that because the rest of the timeline in your screenshot is not greyed out

If you're looking to edit the .asset file directly, you can enable "Force Text" under Asset Serialization in the Editor Settings. The YAML is alot easier to read.

How do I toggle the mesh renderer through an animation? What drop down menu is it under? This is probably a question better suited for channel.

icy crow Jun 5, 2018, 8:12 PM

whatever your body mesh is called

it's the skinned mesh renderer

or I think you can just turn off the mesh game object if you're trying to go invisible

I have an object in hand connected to an object in wrist with rigid body / fixed joint. Every time I toggle the animation on the hand object is in a different xyz location like its drifting each time I turn on the anim. I can't parent it to the wrist in my situation, is there some way to fix this?

icy crow Jun 5, 2018, 10:20 PM

#

I think the fixed joint object has to be always enabled

orchid trench Jun 5, 2018, 10:26 PM

#

Oh. I'll give that a try. Thanks

#

Actually that won't work because I need to toggle the parent object to trigger the animation but they also need to be under that object so that I can animate them. 😦

Is there really no simple way to slow down animations in unity ?

clear yew Jun 6, 2018, 5:08 AM

#

If it's in an animation controller you can set its speed value either in its state or in its blendtree node if it uses one

#

I think you can also slow down the sample rate of the animation and that could also slow it down, but I'm not sure if that has other consequences with it

#

https://dl.dropbox.com/s/f7h2fzkrn7qdm1b/AnimSpeed.png

As for legacy animations, I think you can edit its sample rate here:
https://dl.dropbox.com/s/t68sxov0v7s651v/AnimSpeed2.png

But this changes the speed anywhere the animation is used

muted prairie Jun 6, 2018, 5:16 AM

#

Sample rate didn't seem to have an effect

clear yew Jun 6, 2018, 5:16 AM

#

I'll look a little deeper

#

You can select all of the keyframes and drag the right edge of the selection to scale it up

#

Note that it still rounds all of the keyframes to the nearest frame though

muted prairie Jun 6, 2018, 5:20 AM

#

muted prairie Jun 6, 2018, 5:24 AM

#

Actually, is there a way to scale the keyframes in a way that doesn't break the animation as much or is it just luck/animation dependant ?

#

I guess that's maybe too much to ask for complex animations 🤔

clear yew Jun 6, 2018, 5:35 AM

slim sparrow Jun 6, 2018, 8:52 AM

You always have to animate on a duplicate

#

If you messed it up, I think you need to manually animate it back into T-pose, or drag in a new model into your scene and copy over the avatar descriptor and dynamic bone components

#

Then you can delete the old one

And now the ghost bones are not animated anymore even tho in blender they work

#

I'm definitely missing something

lilac cave Jun 6, 2018, 10:14 AM

#

you if they wernt animationg before you need to do some masking

#

animating*

#

make sure that the rig is humaniod, correct bones assigned etc.

#

rotation needs to be done to the model for walks but you dont need to move the avatar in the anim

#

masking is near where you found the transform settings

#

create from this model, tick everything

#

duplicate the animation, open animator and drag the dup into that screen when you have the charater you want to do the action selected (in scene) drag the anim in

#

when i say "rotation needs to be done to the model for walks but you dont need to move the avatar in the anim" i dont mean setting wise, i mean animation wise

#

the game moves the model for you but does not rotate the avatar iirc

woeful flame Jun 6, 2018, 10:39 AM

@lilac cave about moving the avatar you mean in space?

slim sparrow Jun 6, 2018, 9:04 PM

Might be easiest to use Jaw Blend Shape

That requires one shape key that activates and deactivates itself as you talk.

#

You'll probably need to make a duplicate of your eyes in Blender and move them slightly behind your real eyes. Make the duplicate light up

#

Then in a shape key, swap the two eyes.

yes

west panther Jun 7, 2018, 12:31 AM

But put it on an empty and turn the empty on btw

mm anyone has good idea on how to animate the rig that is attatched to armature with ridged body?

wait.. how did.. yo..wah

west panther Jun 7, 2018, 12:40 AM

This is how its set up for extra arms and people always figure it out from this much but ive never personally done it

queen pewter Jun 7, 2018, 12:40 AM

#

i'v made it work but its gun-arm

#

so I wanted to put animation but .. o-o whenever I make duplicated -animation and apply on main model it just wont apply unlike everything else

west panther Jun 7, 2018, 12:42 AM

#

That doesnt need rigidbodies

queen pewter Jun 7, 2018, 12:43 AM

#

hmm?

#

if you don't mind, could you give me a quick tutorial in video chat

#

o-o

west panther Jun 7, 2018, 12:44 AM

#

I think Just duplicate the entire mesh in blender, in unity hide second mesh, give second mesh animator with the dance

#

And i dont think theres a tutoral

#

And in a gesture turn off your main mesh and turn on the second one

#

I think thats how it goes but.not sure. Someone else has answered it better before

queen pewter Jun 7, 2018, 12:46 AM

#

woa but thanks mayo.. such kindness

west panther Jun 7, 2018, 12:47 AM

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 12:48 AM

wait
i made a new animation and drug it onto the dude
it has the frames / animation from my last emote
do i need to make another model dupe to do another?

west panther Jun 7, 2018, 12:50 AM

Emote or gesture

#

Oh wait

#

My bad didmt understand the question, on the keyframe window at the left tou shohld see the animations name somewhere

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 1:10 AM

#

so i got the thing to un-hide itself

#

but doesnt seem to you know...blow fire

#

like i have to manually click the Simulate button to make it do so

#

like the "Is_Active" keyframe seems to only un-hide the emitter itself, not simulate the particles

#

i confuzled #-#

mint prism Jun 7, 2018, 1:37 AM

#

"Parent it to two empties; have one gesture activate one and have the other gesture activate the other. The particle will only activate when both empties are active"

Me again it seems it didnt worked

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 1:49 AM

#

um..wot

mint prism Jun 7, 2018, 1:50 AM

#

Basically i want to activate a particle effect with 2 finger gestures

#

so it only activates when both are active

#

but it doesnt work for me

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 1:53 AM

o

#

i thought u were helping me x3

mint prism Jun 7, 2018, 1:56 AM

spring nova Jun 7, 2018, 2:06 AM

#

By parent it to two empties, did you copy the same particle into two separate empties? Because those empties need to be one inside the other, like empty > empty > particles

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 2:07 AM

#

mine is attached to the bone / armature the fire system is located by

#

dunno if that fucks it up or not

spring nova Jun 7, 2018, 2:07 AM

#

It might, are you using world space particles?

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 2:07 AM

#

nien

spring nova Jun 7, 2018, 2:07 AM

#

Then it shouldn't

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 2:07 AM

#

or atleast i think not

#

yeah no it local sim

spring nova Jun 7, 2018, 2:08 AM

#

You should have hips > spine > whatever > hand > empty > empty > particles

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 2:08 AM

#

but as you can see by the gif, its clearly unhiding / "turning on"

#

but not like...turning on

hexed current Jun 7, 2018, 2:08 AM

#

Hey guys, does anyone know a good starting point to learning particles for vrchat? 😮

spring nova Jun 7, 2018, 2:09 AM

#

Also both of those empties should be off on default, and the gesture turns them on

mint prism Jun 7, 2018, 2:11 AM

#

for me its hip > empty > empty > particle, particle, light

#

both emptys are unchecked only particle, particle, light is checked

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 2:12 AM

#

considering whenever i un-hide / enable it (not in the animation window), a lil box pops up with buttons for Stop and Simulate, id say im missing a step to turn it on somehow

spring nova Jun 7, 2018, 2:16 AM

#

No the simulate is just in the editor

#

Go to play mode and then try

mint prism Jun 7, 2018, 2:16 AM

when its "snout" flexes is when the fire is supposed to turn on / come out

spring nova Jun 7, 2018, 2:24 AM

#

Looks like the fire is turned off

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 2:25 AM

#

well then perhaps i did fuck up in animation. i have it hidden, then in the animation, flip on that "Is_active" thing

#

wot

#

whenever i turn it on / test in the animation window, that box being like "Simulate Stop" pops up in the scene

#

so its def unhiding

#

i just need to find out how to actually make it go

clear yew Jun 7, 2018, 2:27 AM

#

The emitter is active?

spring nova Jun 7, 2018, 2:28 AM

#

This should be on by default, but if it's not, check something about activate on wake in the particle

clear yew Jun 7, 2018, 2:28 AM

#

I would do it something like this too:

[something in armature]
--Empty1
----Empty2
------Particle Emitter

Have one gesture unhide Empty1, have the other unhide Empty2

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 2:28 AM

#

yeah, the Play on Awake thing is on

clear yew Jun 7, 2018, 2:28 AM

#

Particle Emitter will only work when both are active

spring nova Jun 7, 2018, 2:29 AM

#

And in bloats example, the particle will always be "active" it's just the empties you manipulate, which are hidden by default and the gestures unhide them

thick cedar Jun 7, 2018, 2:30 AM

#

how to spawn audio from colliding? like for example. rocket launcher. it create audio when it collides wall?

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 2:31 AM

#

i could try somethin like that, its just the actual armature bone its attached to is actually a bone that does something / i need for the other parts of the animation

#

ech idk

#

im so bad at this x3

spring nova Jun 7, 2018, 2:34 AM

#

Don't mess with the bones, if you've got a snout that does something, just put all the empties inside of it

#

So like snout 1 > snout 2 > empty > empty > particles

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 2:34 AM

#

i dont even have empties, i just got the particle emitter thing and slapped it on snout 2

spring nova Jun 7, 2018, 2:35 AM

#

Yeah, so make empties

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 2:35 AM

idk if i can even do that in Unity tho

k, so now its like... Snout2 > Gameobject > emitter thing

#

@blazing bluff not rlly to be a douche, but pretty sure no ones gonna help make something obnoxious like that. no one wants to have a random sphere block their vision cuz someone did it

#

or so id assume

blazing bluff Jun 7, 2018, 2:38 AM

#

@jade kraken Its actually not for anything you just assumed. Its purely for the purpose of rp. Not gonna lie I hate shit like that to, but it fits with the character im doing.

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 2:39 AM

#

idk if its the same, but in Roblox, doing somethin like that just meant turning a sphere inside out. so instead of seeing the texture on the outside / empty inside, it was empty outside / texture inside

#

so idk, maybe try like inverting a sphere object

#

@spring nova so...i make 2 empties, hide them, then unhide them via animation? does that mean i leave the particle thing unhidden?

spring nova Jun 7, 2018, 2:40 AM

#

Yes

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 2:42 AM

#

k

#

still doesnt make it work. it still pops up that box being like Simulate

spring nova Jun 7, 2018, 2:47 AM

#

So put it in play mode

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 2:48 AM

#

nope

#

idk

#

unless theres some sort of keyframe / component im missing to actually turn the particle thing on, idk

#

WAIT

#

cracked it

#

i think

#

ye it works on the new copy of the model for animation

#

guess only way to see if it REALLY works is a test port to VRC

jade sparrow Jun 7, 2018, 2:58 AM

#

Would anyone know how I would animate a small model on my avatars hand using a hand gesture.

I have the animation and the gesture set up to make him appear when using a gesture. I just don't know how I would set that small guy to animate when I make him appear.

spring nova Jun 7, 2018, 3:12 AM

#

Yeah, drag the object outside your model, click create animation, then bring it back in. Then you can do the animation

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 3:13 AM

#

oh gee would you look at that

spring nova Jun 7, 2018, 3:13 AM

#

The key is that you can't click create animation on anything inside your main model, otherwise it will think you want to animate the main model itself and put it into that crouch pose which you don't have want

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 3:13 AM

#

emotes dont work ingame

#

or atleast idk how id make em work

#

cant use a humanoid controller / avatar since its 4 legged

#

and idk how to bind it to the whole Shift + F6(ex) thing

spring nova Jun 7, 2018, 3:14 AM

#

Yeah gestures don't work on generic rigs

jade sparrow Jun 7, 2018, 3:15 AM

@spring nova I have the option to create animations, but I do not know how to drag my animation into that model without freezing my game

so much for having my thing breath fire -w-

great, hours down the drain

no i got that down

#

ight

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 3:16 AM

#

just making it work on an avatar that doesnt have the usual Hips > legs / spine > chest > arms / neck > head ting

#

is what i need to figure

jade sparrow Jun 7, 2018, 3:17 AM

#

yah I can help you with that

#

I just had to figure out that issue

#

@jade kraken You need to add a working humanoid model into the scene within your generic model and then just disable her mesh. She will basically do the animations, and you can position them wherever you want.

#

@spring nova Mind if I PM you, I really want to figure out this animation thing.

spring nova Jun 7, 2018, 3:22 AM

#

I'm not sure about why it's freezing, but of you already have an animation file you should be able to add an animator component to it and then drop the file into it in the animation tab

#

And it's better to keep it here in case someone else can chime in to help

jade sparrow Jun 7, 2018, 3:22 AM

#

I am not really sure what you mean. Sorry I have only been doing this for about a week

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 3:23 AM

#

well i mean, i could do that, but i plan on making the thing animated / move

#

so idk if it would work like dat

jade sparrow Jun 7, 2018, 3:23 AM

You can't animate something without bones

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 3:23 AM

it has bones

sweet zealot Jun 7, 2018, 3:26 AM

#

particle question - my particles are shooting straight up, and simply rotating the root cube 90 degrees does not affect it, how can i control the direction the particles are going?

spring nova Jun 7, 2018, 3:27 AM

#

Is the particle system inside the cube? It should

#

Unless you're using velocity over time set to world instead of regular speed

sweet zealot Jun 7, 2018, 3:28 AM

#

the particle system is in the cube yes

#

to ME it shoots straight forward (cause i rotated the cube 90degrees) but to EVERYONE else in vrchat its shooting to the side (its original angle)

spring nova Jun 7, 2018, 3:34 AM

#

Is it attached with a rigidbody and fixed joint?

clear yew Jun 7, 2018, 3:43 AM

#

Emotes don't work on generics properly yet

#

./late

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 3:44 AM

#

ech

#

then perhaps its possible to animate the model when i have the human slapped on it?

clear yew Jun 7, 2018, 3:46 AM

#

It's possible but you'd have to adjust all of the animations I think. I tried parenting mine to a human rig but it only ever played its idle animation

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 3:48 AM

k

jade sparrow Jun 7, 2018, 4:16 AM

Anyone know how to combine an animation pack from mixamo in on fbx

Like I want the breakdance pack into one FBX like how it shows in the preview.

clear yew Jun 7, 2018, 2:56 PM

#

It has 34 animations and when you click on it. It plays a huge animation of all the breakdances together. I want that animation. But when I download the pack. It comes in separate animation files

#

I want it for one FBX animation

#

Just like how it was shown in mixamoe

civic harbor Jun 7, 2018, 5:22 PM

#

it's unfortunately not possible anymore @clear yew

#

adobe kinda gutted the site

#

you have to download 1 by 1 now

clear yew Jun 7, 2018, 5:25 PM

@civic harbor I have the skeletons animations already

civic harbor Jun 7, 2018, 5:25 PM

oh, sorry, i misunderstood your question

clear yew Jun 7, 2018, 5:25 PM

#

Yeah when I downloaded the pack

civic harbor Jun 7, 2018, 5:25 PM

#

yeah, merging animations from multiple FBXes is tricky

#

not sure how you'd do that

#

it might be possible to do it with a custom animation controller in unit

#

unity

clear yew Jun 7, 2018, 5:26 PM

#

It gave me all the skeleton animations

#

Yeah but

#

If I do that

#

How do I put that as an emote

civic harbor Jun 7, 2018, 5:27 PM

#

using a custom animation controller

#

same deal

#

it's definitely a complex thing though, not gonna lie

clear yew Jun 7, 2018, 5:27 PM

#

Yeah but like. Vrchat uses its own animation controller

#

I can’t just change to another one. Like can I extract the animation FBX of the new animation controller

#

Also fuck Adobe for closing that shit

civic harbor Jun 7, 2018, 5:30 PM

#

just do an override!

#

if you dont specify anything in this list

#

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/ct6tadfceyd1a50/Unity_2018-06-07_19-30-29.png

#

it doesn't change anything

#

just put in your new clip on whatever taunt/emote etc you wish to override

#

and i presume you'll have to somehow assemble all your dance moves in unity

#

as a new clipo

clear yew Jun 7, 2018, 5:31 PM

#

You’re gonna have to guide me....when I get home.

civic harbor Jun 7, 2018, 5:31 PM

#

i do believe unity has tools to modify animation clips etc

#

i can't guide you sorry

#

look up the docs

#

it ain't hard 😛

#

everything is a lot more simple than it seems, i think.

#

except eye tracking.

#

THAT stuff is wizard ritualistic shit.

clear yew Jun 7, 2018, 5:32 PM

#

Yeah I just want the dance shit

#

FBX

#

So I use the override to put all the animations together and it’ll become one FBX animation

civic harbor Jun 7, 2018, 5:32 PM

#

no

#

override is how you specify what clip you want to override which stock animation slot

#

the question is

#

"how are you going to merge all your 36 clips from mixamo into one" (since that's what you want to do)

#

thats the tricky question

#

and one i dont know the answer to

#

you can either try to do it in your 3d package of choice

#

blender 3ds max etc

#

or try to assemble a new animClip out of the 36 animClips directly in Unity

#

but i don't know if thats even a thing

clear yew Jun 7, 2018, 5:33 PM

#

Ughh fuck Adobe for removing the site

You know i don’t understand why mixamo plays all 36 that transition together

civic harbor Jun 7, 2018, 5:35 PM

#

to give you a preview.

clear yew Jun 7, 2018, 5:35 PM

#

And not give me an option to download that

#

When I get home I want someone to help me with this

clear yew Jun 7, 2018, 5:52 PM

#

You can copy/paste animation curves I think

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 6:02 PM

#

what would i override in the thing in Unity if i wanted stuff to be triggered by like

#

F6, F7, etc?

#

EMOTE6, EMOTE7?

civic harbor Jun 7, 2018, 6:03 PM

#

whichever you think is best to replace

#

people usually replace the fingerpointing gestures

#

e.g. rockandroll

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 6:09 PM

#

yes but i dont have finger movement as i am on desktop

clear yew Jun 7, 2018, 6:15 PM

#

Shift-F1 to Shift-F6 trigger finger movement animations on desktop

#

Emotes are the ones you find in the emotes button in your main menu

#

f7 and f8 as well

#

Keyboard Gesture Overrides

You can now trigger gestures with keyboard!
- Hold down Left Shift and F1-F8 for left hand gestures.
- Hold down Right Shift and F1-F8 for right hand gestures.
- F1=open fist (relaxed), F2=closed fist
- F3-F8 are: LetGo, Point, Peace, RocknRoll, Gun, Thumbup
- Your arm is not animated by default, so these are mainly useful for animation overrides.

#

um k

#

unsure on how that works

clear yew Jun 7, 2018, 10:40 PM

#

there is explanation in the package

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 10:48 PM

#

um k...? wtf is "add logic to pulseout"

#

nvm found a video

#

owait also

#

what im toggling isnt a seperate prop

#

this model has a like

#

long Yoshi-like tongue that i made a Blendshape to have it hide inside the mouth

#

and i just wanna toggle that animation on and off

#

so i dont have to hold down a button to keep the tongue hidden

#

so idk if thats any diff @clear yew

jade kraken Jun 7, 2018, 11:15 PM

#

nvm figured it out

steel perch Jun 7, 2018, 11:50 PM

#

Is their a way to use Mmd poses for idle animations or do you actually need to do it in unity?

#

I checked pin but I don't understand what he means lol.

#

I've seen quite a number of animal avatars like cats that have running/walking animations on them, how do people do that? I assume they're not all making it from scratch.

#

@wide steppe Dynamic bones aren't going to behave like that when you're in desktop mode.

#

also the amount of bones on that model, and having them all be dynamic. big oof for performance

#

especially when you're a desktopper that will barely be able to show them off

celest trout Jun 8, 2018, 2:46 AM

#

Does anyone know if you can have a prefab object be emmited from a particle system?

wide steppe Jun 8, 2018, 2:51 AM

#

@raw hinge I'm not talking about dynamic bones

#

I'm talking about the 3 balls

#

ignore the dynamic bones =_=

spring nova Jun 8, 2018, 2:51 AM

#

@celest trout do you mean like actual gameobject meshes or just prefab particles?

raw hinge Jun 8, 2018, 2:52 AM

#

are they set up as local particle effects or world particle effects?

spring nova Jun 8, 2018, 2:52 AM

#

They're rigid bodies and joints, we talked about it already over in development advanced

wide steppe Jun 8, 2018, 2:52 AM

#

You can't eject prefabs xD

#

prefabs are just like blueprints

spring nova Jun 8, 2018, 2:53 AM

#

If they're gameobjects with meshes, you'll have to remake them as mesh particles and then just be a subemitter

wide steppe Jun 8, 2018, 2:57 AM

#

Phase

#

He actually asked if he can project prefab

#

prefab is created when you pull thigns from scene to asset folder

#

it's basicly a blueprint for things

spring nova Jun 8, 2018, 2:58 AM

#

Yeah, no need to make fun of him for it

wide steppe Jun 8, 2018, 2:59 AM

#

I'm not

#

I just told him that he can;'t

spring nova Jun 8, 2018, 3:03 AM

#

I'd rather correct a simple misunderstanding about prefabs than answer the 500th " I played an hour and I still can't upload"

lyric latch Jun 8, 2018, 4:32 AM

#

can i get a quick rundown on how to use the ik follower

spring nova Jun 8, 2018, 6:29 AM

#

Just make an empty gameobject on your hand, put the ikfollower component on it, and then put all your particles into it

@Yuumi, that works with avatars without bones??

clear yew Jun 8, 2018, 7:14 AM

#

lol no lmao

#

you need bone if you want to animate a model

midnight moss Jun 8, 2018, 9:37 AM

#

Oh

#

Didnt knew that

#

(Im new in unity as you see)

queen pewter Jun 8, 2018, 9:54 AM

#

is there anyone who can help me out with making weapon? o-o this thing is confusing as ehhh

icy crow Jun 8, 2018, 9:55 AM

#

making it appear in an animation?

queen pewter Jun 8, 2018, 9:55 AM

#

uhh yes.

icy crow Jun 8, 2018, 9:56 AM

#

have the weapon disabled by default
at 0:00 in the animation, enable it
at 0:01 in the animation, enable it

#

assuming you want this as a gesture

queen pewter Jun 8, 2018, 9:57 AM

#

uh yes but like

#

how do you take out a weapon and shoot when you want?

#

o-o without pull out a gun and fake it with 2nd gesture

#

well like failsafe

icy crow Jun 8, 2018, 9:58 AM

#

one gesture would be the gun, the other gesture would be the gun + the shot

queen pewter Jun 8, 2018, 9:59 AM

#

how do you make 2nd animation to only work if 1st animation is enabled;

#

i know some people made this..

icy crow Jun 8, 2018, 10:00 AM

#

so you only want the gun to shoot if the gun gesture has been used?

queen pewter Jun 8, 2018, 10:01 AM

#

yes

#

thats wheere i am confused at

#

😮

icy crow Jun 8, 2018, 10:03 AM

#

have the bullet particle system attached to a disabled empty game object, then when you enable the gun, also enable that game object

#

this way, the particle system will only activate when after the first gesture has been used

slim sparrow Jun 8, 2018, 10:09 AM

#

Or just attach the particle system and sounds to the gun

valid estuary Jun 8, 2018, 10:37 AM

#

problem with that is that you can make the particles only local without breaking everything

#

mostly

slim sparrow Jun 8, 2018, 10:51 AM

#

IK Follower or fixed joints works

#

But yeah, fixed joint particles can't be a child of the gun then

waxen echo Jun 8, 2018, 11:09 AM

#

Can anyone help me when i use my emote my animation wont play only the sound

charred oar Jun 8, 2018, 11:21 AM

#

Can anyone help me, I'm trying to get a video to play in a animation but it is not working. What is the right way to add a video in a animation?

waxen echo Jun 8, 2018, 11:21 AM

#

No

#

help me firsy

#

first

slim sparrow Jun 8, 2018, 11:24 AM

#

@charred oar to play a video, you need a shader like the flipbook one

#

And a spritesheet

charred oar Jun 8, 2018, 11:25 AM

#

ok cheers

valid estuary Jun 8, 2018, 11:28 AM

#

i cant get ik follower to work

#

like at all

clear yew Jun 8, 2018, 11:29 AM

#

did you put it directly in the particle system ?

valid estuary Jun 8, 2018, 11:29 AM

#

yes

waxen echo Jun 8, 2018, 11:30 AM

#

Can anyone help me when i use my emote my animation wont play only the sound

charred oar Jun 8, 2018, 11:45 AM

#

I have the shader / the sprite sheet done, but how can i add the video mp4 to it or do i need to change the video file type or something else?

royal summit Jun 8, 2018, 11:50 AM

#

If it’s apart of a avatar u need to make the mp4 into a gif then into a sprite sheet then apply it to the flipbook shader or a particle system

charred oar Jun 8, 2018, 12:25 PM

#

ok i have done all of that and when i wanted to test to see if it plays, it does not 😦 sorry for asking for all this help

waxen echo Jun 8, 2018, 1:27 PM

#

Can anyone help me when i use my emote my animation wont play only the sound

regal hollow Jun 8, 2018, 1:52 PM

#

Your audio source might be to quiet

#

You might not be toggling it on

#

It might be disabled in a way you aren't changing

icy crow Jun 8, 2018, 1:55 PM

#

Does your avatar go into the broken pose? @waxen echo

crystal vigil Jun 8, 2018, 4:07 PM

#

hey, is anyone available to help someone who knows nothing about animation add a knife and sound to an avatar?

icy crow Jun 8, 2018, 4:12 PM

#

put the knife and audio source onto the avatar, disabled. Then in the animation, enable them both at 0:00 and 0:01

#

and make sure there aren't any keyframes at 1:00

crystal vigil Jun 8, 2018, 4:14 PM

#

could you post a pic or something? sorry, never done this before for anything

icy crow Jun 8, 2018, 4:22 PM

#

not at my pc atm but youtube has some good tutorials

crystal vigil Jun 8, 2018, 4:24 PM

#

I think i might have it. thanks

#

when adding the override controller do i need to put in every animation or just ones im changing?

nimble ridge Jun 8, 2018, 4:28 PM

#

Now you can put only the ones you want to change

#

Really convinient

crystal vigil Jun 8, 2018, 4:41 PM

crystal vigil Jun 8, 2018, 4:42 PM

If i upload a gif of what i did up to this point can you guys help me see what went wrong?

clear yew Jun 8, 2018, 4:43 PM

#

you didnt create your animation on a duplicate

#

that's your first problem

zinc lichen Jun 8, 2018, 4:53 PM

#

Okay, so does anyone know how to add vertical motion with an animation? I've been trying to get my avatar to do a back flip and pose as two other characters drop down behind him. I first thought that this could be done with "Root T" but discovered that it's the start position or something. So now he just floats in the air with no vertical movement at all.

slim sparrow Jun 8, 2018, 5:03 PM

#

@zinc lichen is this on an emote?

#

If so, you need to tick "Bake root transform Y" on the animation

zinc lichen Jun 8, 2018, 5:03 PM

#

Yes

#

OH

#

So that should fix the issue with floating an lack of movement on the Y?

slim sparrow Jun 8, 2018, 5:07 PM

#

Yeah

zinc lichen Jun 8, 2018, 5:07 PM

#

Thanks

slim sparrow Jun 8, 2018, 5:07 PM

#

Root T is actually vertical movement by the way

#

Inside the animation

#

Or rather, Root T is movement. The Y property is vertical movement

zinc lichen Jun 8, 2018, 5:08 PM

#

I did wonder why it worked in unity but not vrchat

slim sparrow Jun 8, 2018, 5:08 PM

#

That's simply because of those settings. Not sure why, but VRC ignores Root T unless you tick the bake option

#

Probably due to their IK system

zinc lichen Jun 8, 2018, 5:09 PM

#

Again thank you

crystal vigil Jun 8, 2018, 5:12 PM

#

so i tried using a duplicate and my model still buggs out like in the picture above. what am i doing wrong? it happens when i start to animate it.

slim sparrow Jun 8, 2018, 5:14 PM

#

It's normal for your model to sink into the ground when animating

#

It'll look fine ingame

#

The problem is that the limbs are the wrong way around for some reason

#

Check the rigging tab and make sure it's properly T-posed

crystal vigil Jun 8, 2018, 5:17 PM

#

https://imgur.com/a/wN4HwId Before i start animating it looks like this

Imgur

#

so when adding just the knife and not the sound, it looks fine, but when i add the sound it goes to hell

#

Nevermind. i fixed it by making them 2 seperate animations

dark ether Jun 8, 2018, 8:45 PM

#

@crystal vigil you activate both the knife and audio source in 0/1 seconds

crystal vigil Jun 8, 2018, 8:46 PM

#

I ended up having to ditch the entire armature and give it a new one through mixamo

dark ether Jun 8, 2018, 8:46 PM

#

Why

crystal vigil Jun 8, 2018, 8:47 PM

#

it had so many extra bones i couldn't upload it and it made animation too difficult

fallen flax Jun 8, 2018, 9:16 PM

#

@crystal vigil have you tried to use Cats plug in instead of the old method?

clear yew Jun 8, 2018, 9:49 PM

#

Am I supposed to disable my duplicate before I export my actual avatar?

#

no

#

I can't export without removing it?

#

It says that it has no rig.

weary oak Jun 8, 2018, 10:30 PM

#

got trouble with a invisible makeing animation it will let me become invisible but won't undo it when i cancel the hand gesture how can i fix that?

slim sparrow Jun 8, 2018, 10:30 PM

#

Some models have that issue

#

I have no idea why it happens or how to fix it

#

Does your model have normal maps? @weary oak

weary oak Jun 8, 2018, 10:31 PM

#

i think so? is it in the materials or ?

icy crow Jun 8, 2018, 10:36 PM

#

how are you becoming invisible, just turning off your mesh?

weary oak Jun 8, 2018, 10:37 PM

#

yeah i disable the body mesh i even made a animation which turns it on again but it doesn't work

icy crow Jun 8, 2018, 10:39 PM

#

are you disabling the skinned mesh renderer component, or completely disabling your mesh/body object?

weary oak Jun 8, 2018, 10:40 PM

#

completely

icy crow Jun 8, 2018, 10:41 PM

#

hmm, that's the way I do it and it seems to work fine

#

are your animation keyframes set up properly?

weary oak Jun 8, 2018, 10:41 PM

#

yes the keys are on frame 0 and frame 1

icy crow Jun 8, 2018, 10:42 PM

#

I don't think the materials should have an effect on that

weary oak Jun 8, 2018, 10:42 PM

#

there are 2 other things i added to the model : weapon and a crown but it shouldn't affect it because they got their own mesh

slim sparrow Jun 8, 2018, 11:00 PM

#

I had similar issues

#

No idea why it did, but I stayed invisible for others

#

Looked fine to me

#

I ended up using stencils to hide myself instead

#

The only difference between that model and others, is that the problematic model had normal maps. That's the only thing I can think of

icy crow Jun 8, 2018, 11:03 PM

#

would that matter though if you're completely disabling the body anyway?

slim sparrow Jun 8, 2018, 11:04 PM

#

I dunno

#

It's a very specific bug that seems to be on VRC's end, and only affected that one model

#

The model in particular was an XPS model with normal maps

icy crow Jun 8, 2018, 11:12 PM

#

what are the 2 best gestures to use for VR users to trigger a weapon and shoot animation?

weary oak Jun 8, 2018, 11:13 PM

#

imo handgun and rock'n roll

#

these are the 2 which i don't use that often

#

and it won't get in the way if you're in your menu

icy crow Jun 8, 2018, 11:14 PM

#

are the buttons roughly the same for both Vive and Oculus?

weary oak Jun 8, 2018, 11:14 PM

#

vive has a (excuse me for that outburst) CANCER touchpad it depends where you shove the finger of the direction of the touchpad oculus has button combination for that
