has anyone done any avatars with advanced shaders?
things like volumetric rendering or SDFs
I feel like advanced shaders could allow for some incredibly low poly counts, if you know what you're doing making fast shaders
what shader language does unity use

Hi guys, it seems that VRChat doesn't support Unity 2018's shader graphs, am I correct?
green river
Because VRChat uses Unity's standard renderer
You can find shaders made with Amplify and use them instead.

Okay thanks, I was asking because I find shader graphs more accessible than using ShaderLab, and also because I'm used to Unreal's shader editor.

For some reason when I use the shape keys to add to the gestures my shaders break and I have no clue why. If anyone knows that would be great!
It's only slightly noticable in unity, but in game it's very obivous

Legacy blend shape normals
Every model you import into unity 2018 will be broken. Period
That's how bad the defaults are
Legacy blend shape normals
light urchin
Imagine the earlier Unity 2018 versions that didn't have the option to use legacy 😄
tepid bough
is it something that makes it be default, because i think it doesn't set it that way for me by default?
steep swift
Well somebody kept complaining that their crappy art exported from maya didn't look good in unity. So that's why they changed it in 2018.3 or 2018.4 to fix crappy art from maya
Instead of respecting the normals exported in the mesh
Tangents btw are another thing. Calculate mikktspace sometimes causes weird issues. Usually blender does a good job with tangents so it can be good to set those to import
Models upgraded from unity 2017 will be fine
It only applies to new models freshly imported in 2018
tepid bough
Yeah, i see now, just tested it, cool good to know for a future just in case that it affects it that way too

you're joking. Thats so funny, thanks @steep swift I'll give it a try

analog dove
Hey, I'm using poiyomi's shaders and have been having some troubles with emissions. To my knowledge, Mask should be white in areas you desire to be affected and black elsewhere. What should the Map be? The ideas I've tried have resulted in cataract-like eyes or weird discoloration
light urchin
Showing what you have now with screenshots would be helpful
analog dove
Unity-wise or vrchat-wise?
light urchin
Unity, with the emission settings and character visible
tepid bough
with emission map just color everything black and cutout parts of black where you want to see emission and leave them default color
light urchin
Don't really even need both in this case
analog dove
Ah, so take the original texture and color everything black where I don't want it to show?
tepid bough
yeah, basically, but yeah 1 is right, since you are using separate material for the eye you don't even need to do mask or an emission it seems like
light urchin
You currently have your map and mask be inverted versions of each other which is gonna be pretty weird
analog dove
The map im using rn is actually just my eye texture. It results in a weird saturation/hue shift in-game
and @tepid bough I want my iris to glow, but not the white of the eye, so I figured i had to use emissions. Do I not?
tepid bough
oh your eyelid and eye is the same mesh and material then i guess, then you might need a mask yeah i think
anyway @analog dove just make an emission map like i said and don't forget to change your emission color to normal
analog dove
@tepid bough "normal" means white?
tepid bough
Yeah
@analog dove Actually, my brain gave a little bit of slowdown there i think, you don't even need a mask, emission map already knows what part you want to affect, and other way too, one of them is enough
analog dove
@tepid bough I deleted the mask as you said, and it still gives the same result, so you were right. However, it still seems extremely saturated in vrchat.
tepid bough
turn down emission strength? and yeah some worlds will make it too strong. Thanks to post processing bloom
analog dove
I may have an incorrect perception of how this is supposed to work, but I'm in a world with a brightness slider, and my eyes definitely do not glow when turning the brightness down. If I turn down emission strength, that'll worsen that problem, ya?
It may be the world's lighting's fault, but just trying to make sure i didn't do something wrong
tepid bough
brightness and bloom are a bit different things but yeah, just experiment with color and slider i would say
if you think problem is with the world try some other worlds with better lighting or the one's you are most likely to visit the most
analog dove
Color should stay greyscale, though, yes?
tepid bough
set it to whatever look best to you honestly
just the emission map part was important to explain tune color and emission strength to your desire
analog dove
Does it really matter? I see that it may have been redundant, but is it problematic beyond that?
Just trying to understand
tepid bough
are you still on about your emission looking overly bright in game?
analog dove
Oh, I was just talking about having a mask and a map both on.
tepid bough
mask is unnecessary, your emission map already tells where emission is supposed to be, you can do that with just a mask too, doesn't really matter which step you go, but it is really unnecessary to put both of them together. At least in this scenario it is.
analog dove
Alrighty, thanks! Guess it's just something I'll have to spend some time playing around with to make it look right. Thanks for the help ❤️

if i have an aoe stencil thing going on, where objects in the stencil are only visible inside the aoe, but one of the objects is below ground level, how can i make it so that ONLY the objects set up within the stencil are visible? aka the floor doesnt show?
steep swift
You render your own skybox material in a large sphere (or just the object you want to show below the world) using ZTest Always and ZWrite On and Stencil Compare Equal.
Most stencil shaders will let you do the ztest option. Do note that this will break depth sorting so good to keep it to simple geometry like a skybox sphere
You'll need to use queues to make sure your stuff below the world renders after this pass, and that this renders after your stencils

anybody know of a censor shader that works in 2018 unity?

preferably with constant relative cell size
sonic shore
why is standerd lite looks like trash vs toon lite
steep swift
standard lite looks great to me. I've found vrchat mobile toon looks like trash when I've tried it :-p I guess to each their own.
Make sure you have Legacy Blend Shapes checked
But if you really don't want any shading I guess I can see why standard lite would be undesirable
@astral plover The error is due to the use of a UsePass line in the shader to integrate a builtin shadowcaster pass
Remove this bit:
UsePass "VertexLit/SHADOWCASTER"
}
}
And replace with
}
Fallback "Diffuse"
}
Note the Fallback goes one brace down compared to the UsePass
if you're stuck you can also just remove the UsePass line and don't add the Fallback
since I'm not sure why a censor shader would need a shadow
The UsePass thing actually broke some time in Unity 2017, but it definitely has issues in Unity 2018
a lot of old shaders still have this, including some of snail's shaders
And thanks for asking about it. I wonder how many people just ignore it like "hmm I guess it's just broken" instead of asking if there is a fix
astral plover
@steep swift thanks a ton!!
brisk junco
i might be on the road to driving myself insane here but has anyone here assigned a second UV map to a model via script so the shader can have kind of a per-vertex data buffer
steep swift
yes, and a third, and a fourth, and a fifth, and a sixth :-p
Unity allows 8 full 4-channel UV coordinates (each one can hav x, y z and w
but...
the FBX importer only supports UV and UV2, and further, it may auto generate lightmap UVs and override UV2
I always use editor scripts to generate the rest
using the mesh.SetUVs(which, someList)
where someList is a List<Vector4> for each vertex
brisk junco
i made the second UV map in blender and i have pretty much no idea how to get this into a format that unity will accept
do i just have to throw it away and start over lmao
steep swift
FBX should allow both uvs
brisk junco
it's a blend file so i can export it to fbx yeah
but if i did that i might need to figure out a way to get a UV map from one model and put it on another one with the same vertex count
sorry if i'm asking in the wrong place
steep swift
click the mesh data (the square grid icon if you exapnd the FBX) and check the bottom right corner of the inspector:
you can see it actually did import 3 uvs
ah ok, you'll probably either want to do that in blender, or you can write an editor script
are you familiar with C# or any programming language?
I can send you some reference code that I use
brisk junco
yeah i know how to use c# i just have no idea whether i have to use some kind of fbx reader or whether unity lets me access the UV map directly
from an already imported fbx
and reference code would be helpful thank you :>

Hi everyone, i tried to remove backface culling in blender, but it didn't turn right. What i can do about my face mesh turning invisible in unity ?? Thank you much love
past pewter
Turning off backface culling is just a scene setting in blender, that won't do anything.
If you're having issues with normals you can just use a double sided shader, or in other words a shader that doesn't cull backfaces
steep swift
On mobile, the only option that supports emission is standard lite.
Though you could choose to split the emissive parts into a separate material and use standard lite on that material
sonic shore
hmmm ya good idea or maybe i will find a shader that looks as close to toon lite as possible that lacks shadows too and make her face slightly brighter the goal she gets dimmer with safety thats it like always
past pewter
i have a problem that i thought would be simple for me to solve but for some reason i am completely stumped... does anyone know how to properly calculate a direction between object pos and view pos as a uv? i work with nodes, so if in shader forge or amplify or anything really i can translate it... i just can't seem to figure out the method.
stiff berry
normalize(mul(unity_WorldToObject, _WorldSpaceCameraPos.xyz) - objectPos)
assuming you mean object space view direction
past pewter
i mean behaviour like that of the facing billboard option for particle, the material points where the camera is located, not it's rotation
not for vertex offset though, just want it for uv right now
stiff berry
yeah that will do it although you'll want to use
#if UNITY_SINGLE_PASS_STEREO
float4 cameraPos = float4((unity_StereoWorldSpaceCameraPos[0] + unity_StereoWorldSpaceCameraPos[1])*0.5, 1);
#else
float4 cameraPos = float4(_WorldSpaceCameraPos,1);
#endif
normalize(mul(unity_WorldToObject, cameraPos) - objectPos)
so it doesn't point to each eye, instead it points to the center
idk what you mean by uv of a direction though
past pewter
ik vr stereo fixing
stiff berry
a direction is a vector
past pewter
excuse my crude lingo... to describe what i am going for, it's basically like a matcap, but instead of rotating with camera view angle, it only mover to face camera pos (i think mmd spheres use this?)
matcaps behave annoyingly when rotating the camera in place, it looks very off
stiff berry
i don't know quite how to do that but i'd try what xiexe does here
https://github.com/Xiexe/Xiexes-Unity-Shaders/blob/ae6c5a843c7812b9f019fb4ad7dac1a164dc91ce/Main/CGIncludes/XSHelperFunctions.cginc#L149-L155

guys how do i apply a shader to a specific mesh set like for example the eyes ? when i have a material that had the texture of the entire face, aswell that my head mesh/face is all in 1 mesh and i dont know if i can seperate the parts in blender cause i think it might break my shape keys
rich lake
You can have a single mesh but two materials (ie one for the eyes and one for the rest) shape keys are unaffected
rich lake
Select the eye vertices in edit mode and assign them to a new material
civic onyx
ive been struggling to get my model looking right with world lighting enabled in unity, it looks fine when it's disabled
but it goes to this mess when i enable scene lighting, is this going to cause an issue?
i had to export it to blender to get the hands posed correctly (this one in particular is for beat saber, but i need to use these methods for exporting correctly for vrchat as well) and when i reimported it i got this issue. it wasn't like this before i edited it in blender, and i dont think i changed any texture properties in there
torn mesa
@rich lake once i make a new material and select the eye mesh for that metarial do i have to deselect the eyes mesh for the original material ?
rich lake
That's not how it works, you should have one mesh with multiple materials. A vertex can only be assigned to one material.
torn mesa
well you see the problem i have is that the whole face mesh/head is asigned to one material that contains a texture map where it has face and eyes and everything that the head needs. Except for hair ofcourse
or am i missunderstanding what you said i should do ?
rich lake
Kinda, it's fine for two materials to use the same texture. You should duplicate the head material and assign the eyes to that duplicate. Then in unity you can apply a different shader to this duplicate material and it won't effect the stuff you left on the original
torn mesa
so i just select the eyes for each of this new material and its done ? i dont have to deselect them on the first material where the whole face mesh is selected?
rich lake
If you have the eyes selected in edit mode and assign them to a new material they are automatically unassigned from all other materials

whats gpu instancing in shaders should i use it?
halcyon dove
GPU Instancing will render copies of the same mesh reducing draw calls but for avatars it's not really needed / works.
light urchin
Doesn't really matter for avatars since GPU Instancing doesn't support skinned meshes
halcyon dove
With GPU instancing you could render like 5000 asteroids (or more) without much hit to performance.
halcyon dove
Yeah, for avatars
light urchin
Yeah unless you have some non skinned meshes
But I don't really see almost any case where that would come handy unless you are doing some really weird avatar setups
sonic shore
nothing out of the ordinary
steep swift
In general though, there's almost never a reason not to check the box
Unity knows which cases it works for anyway
But it does nothing on skinned meshes in most cases
Or even all cases
halcyon dove
I wonder what it does for Quest though if anything. As for some reason VRChat recommends turning on GPU instancing for your materials for quest.
steep swift
Nothing different than pc
light urchin
All cases yeah it's even stated in the documentation that skinned meshes aren't supported
steep swift
It's just a weird default that it isn't always checked. If it works for some mesh why not use it
sonic shore
if there is no down effects then yea check it
jovial mesa
It is marginally slower to have instancing checked on materials that you don't expect to be drawn more than a couple times. Though it's not really something you'd notice usually unless you have something to batch set the flag on all the materials in a complex scene and A-B test it.
Not sure if that's because dynamic batching is faster for small object counts or if having the flag makes Unity do some extra work that goes wasted ¯_(ツ)_/¯

brisk junco
hey weird question
does anyone have experience with turning off bitclear for an object in unity
i.e. don't clear certain pixels on a screen before redrawing to them
going for like, a camera overexposure type effect
steep swift
@brisk junco There are two types of main camera settings commonly used in worlds...
One type of world has reference camera with Clear Flags set to a solid color.
The other type of world has Clear Flags set to Skybox
When Clear Flags is set to Solid Color, there is no way to prevent the previous frame from being erased. The reason is because ClearRenderTargetView actually is better performance when the whole frame is cleared at once.
As a result, there is no direct method to blend with the previous frame in such worlds. Luckily, these worlds are uncommon.
When Clear Flags is set to Skybox, Unity renders the Skybox after Render Queue 2500, and before Render Queue 2501.
The Skybox is drawn only in places that have not written to the Depth buffer (Z buffer)
So... this is how you do it:
You render a shader that does not draw color (e.g. fully transparent, or using ColorMask 0 or Blend Zero One in the shader). However, you place that shader on a render queue 2500 or less, and you make sure the material has ZWrite On - some transparent shaders turn off ZWrite
This is commonly known as a "Depth Prepass"
Usually Depth Prepasses are only safe to do after the skybox has drawn, as doing one before the skybox is drawn will cause bleeding from the previous frame. However it sounds like this is what you want.
I will explain two other methods to achieve what you want:
- Using the _MainTex exposed by post processing stack, in worlds with post processing enabled. To use this, your shader must not setup _MainTex in the Properties { } block. When you do it this way, the contents of _MainTex will be the result of the last frame rendered.
Second technique:
You can add a shader at maximum render queue which does a GrabPass { "_LastFrameTexture" } and add in a pass that renders nothing, like Pass { ZWrite Off ColorMask 0 }
In the second technique, you will have a texture available on the next frame called _LastFrameTexture which will have the pre-postprocessing copy of the last frame. It should work in all worlds.
Oh, also note: If this is for a world, GrabPass and post processing are not available on quest. So you will need to use a blending technique
@brisk junco Ok sorry for the wall of text, just wanted to be thorough.
TL;DR: Best way to achieve what you want: run a depth prepass on queue 2500 or lower
brisk junco

also, don't bother trying to do DMC5 Characters in VRchat because their textures are far too advanced for what your shader could be capable of
frank isle
Does anyone know if there are any shaders out there that mimic the functionality of Unreal 3's material graph? For instance if I had a mask texture where each color was supposed to represent a different texture, I would be able to set which texture each color on the mask displayed.
I'm alright with dropping some money on it if it's on the store. I'd get a lot of use out of it.
hasty raven
I've got the skills wired down, the only issue is how do I transfer the shader that I made into vrchat if I don't know coding?
ignore the pink
just look at the subsurface scattering on the face and you'll see what I mean
faint fulcrum
By finding out how blenders shader system work, pulling out its source, finding where that BSDF master node is implemented, then translating that into custom shader
And kinda but not really a joke, youd need to find how its implemented to replicate
So that or find an alternative already made for unity
and your 'expectations' vs reality is not really correct as you did not replicate the same lighting conditions in unity
first youd need to reduce ambient light as by defaults its bright and comes from skybox, then use "tint scattering by albedo" instead of the specified brown color (that and too strong intensity is why the ear looks bad)
hasty raven
oh, I see your point
if anything more, I didn't want to replicate the lighting effect for unity, I actually wanted to compare the two instead of making it look like a copy
hasty raven
Sounds difficult

I know about this concept, basically using the camera depth texture to resolve world position, then using triplanar mapping to paint a pattern:
https://github.com/netri/Neitri-Unity-Shaders/blob/master/World Triplanar Mapped.shader
though I'm not sure it's particularly designed for particles, because you would probably want it to sample the texture relative to the particle sample, such as in a decal shader

What you have done there you downloaded a whole another unity project which you jammed inside your own unity project, on github almost never use the "Clone or download" button because that is not the way you are supposed to download stuff off of github because like in this case it included assets that are broken in the current unity
If you really need those hologram shaders just download the shader files off the repository and delete that HologramShader-master folder
lavish flint
Fair enough. The model was given to me, though.
I can't really download it from another location

If you aren't properly sure what to do just delete the post processing folder indicated in that error

anybody have a UV scrolling shader with light bake support?? idk if this is possible

steep swift
UV scrolling can be done using an animation
If you hit record it's the 2x2 grid of boxes next to the texture picker
Or in the animation you do Add Property -> Body -> MeshRenderer -> Material._MainTex_ST
First two are scale; second two are offset. So you'd animate the offset ones for a horizontal or vertical scroll
That said, it is possible to modify standard to support uv scroll without too much work

Does anyone have that one shader/particle where you can have a collar on an avatar, and someone wearing a different avatar can toggle a leash on, and the leash is in one avatars hand and connected to the other avatar's neck and it follows it, if not, is anyone capable of making something similar or knows where to start to do something like that? I’ve seen this done twice so I know it’s possible. :0
jade oriole
Some guy on twitter will give you that shader if you ask him , its the same one used in "Collar and lead （首輪とリード) " world (might find his twitter link there) ,it will instantly make your avatar very poor cause of the big boundary though, i forgot the url and cant really open my unity right now to figure out the name
steep swift
JackyGun's shader can be found here: https://github.com/konchannyan/LeadShader
It's actually really clever: it uses the object array exposed to GPU instancing to provide the effect
I've not seen anyone else make use of instancing in this way
solid valley
thank you guys so much!!! 💖💖
yuh, it is super cool! I don’t think I’ve seen a lot of avatars that can interact much as well. I also really like the hand-holding shader
steep swift
Well... a word of warning for stuff like this
Basically instancing will only work if the avatars are the same reference
So they would literally need to be clones
solid valley
Aah, really? I saw two totally different models that used it
it was a wolfboy and an elf girl
steep swift
handholding works using point lights. The models you saw may have been using lights
solid valley
ooh i meant the leash
steep swift
The other approach is using a pixel on the screen and using GrabPass to check it
jade oriole
shader number (?forgot the name) must be the same so it only work with the one thats similar

that might be a different shader than what I linked
solid valley
Aah yeah, it must be, the one I saw, one avatar could trigger it on with a gesture, and the other one had the collar, and a chain would appear
jade oriole
one i used have a prefab so you can see how to set it up with any object to another object but they must share the same key id
solid valley
but the chain had a set # of chains so it would just stretch the space between them when you move
jade oriole
can be toggled with gestures/inventory system

Hmm it is meant for avatars
This is the explanation thread
@solid valley same person who made the github repo I linked
I really need to dig into how this works across avatars. I don't see how they can be sharing references like this
I do think it should work if they are clones of the same avatar
jade oriole
Think thats the twitter i got it from, i have tested it with different avatars dont need to be clones, just need the shader with same id number to match up, cant open unity since im doing a big backup of it and its gonna take awhile

OMG that's crazy
how did I never read this thread before

⑤ Get the mesh coordinates of another person's avatar
Even with the same Mesh and Material, it was not possible to 1DrawCall with GPU Instancing with other avatars.But experience something very interesting.
"I can get the coordinates of other Mesh's different Material"
So basically, the gpu instancing array is preserved across drawcalls, and only overwritten when more instances are used
what worries me is this something the Unity engine could change at any time
and this was all developed for Unity 2017. not sure if this has been tested in 2018
solid valley
I hope it still works, I know the avatars that were using a lead got taken down from the world but I'm unsure if the reason they weren't working anymore is because of unity or because of the creator
steep swift
oh, I didn't know there was a world with them
jade oriole
Not sure havnt used it in awhile
steep swift
that said, you can use a similar technique with point lights. that still works in unity 2018: lighting information from vertex passes persists from the previous drawcall. Additionally, you can use vertex lights which is what we did for the handholding shader

Amplify is the best graph based shader editor which works in VRChat but it isn't free sadly

If you want free you can try Shader Forge. You need to comment out some lines dealing with substance materials (procedural material) to get it to run in unity 2018 though

Hey guys, I've got a weird issue I can't quite diagnose that might have to do with shaders, but I'm really not sure. I got a model that changes lighting whenever it talks, which I would normally just dismiss as the avatar being a little scuffed, but the lighting change gives my avatar light nipples, so I can't go around using it. Could this be caused by a material atlas? Or maybe some weird shading issue in unity?
As another point of reference, I haven't changed anything about the shaders between cats/blender and unity. They're all unity standard shaders with the single atlas material applied externally from assets

Hello, I have downloaded the Silent Water shader. I have applied it, but this custom hologram shader is not refracting at all unlike everything behind the water. I do not not why, but I think it is something related to the code of the hologram shader. Can someone help me? Thank you a lot
steep swift
@past pewter hi, so the problem you're running into is the classic transparency sorting issue, which can affect any two transparent shaders in front of each other.
Render order is controlled by the Render Queue of the object.
Generally, for transparent objects, unity sorts by distance and does the furthest away one first (opposite of opaque objects)
So the issue here is it's rendering the hologram after the water, so it doesn't get refracted.
My suggestion is to find the hologram material, and change the Render Queue setting to something less than the water. Usually it would be originally 3000 so maybe make it something like 2990
You're allowed to use anything 2501 or higher for transparent objects, but most things are around the default transparent queue of 3000
past pewter
@steep swift Thank you, I've changed the value to 0 (it was on -1) and everything looks fine!
steep swift
@past pewter don't do that
Make sure to use a number above 2501 . That's why I suggested 2990
-1 just means "From Shader" which is generally transparent (3000)
past pewter
@steep swift The thing is most of my materials are set to this value for some reason that I ignore. Should I get through all of them and set the value higher?
Ok i've done what you did and it's working even better. Thank you!
steep swift
-1 is ok . That special number just tells unity to use the default value which is usually what you want
0 is weird because it will render before the skybox and using anything other than the default can affect sort order which could cause things to render a bit less efficiently
past pewter
Oh yeah, it's weird and that's definitively not what I want lol. Thank you for telling me

sly schooner
I was wondering. What would be necessary for a shader to render a material invisible when it's blocked with safety settings?
warm bronze
sonic shore
Amazing
muted osprey
There's no way to force a shader to render past safety settings as far as I know
steep swift
@hollow crescent During upload, find the VRCCam, and tick the box for Allow HDR.
If you want a good quality image, you will likely also wish to use post processing. (See pins in #world-development ) To do this, define a global Post Processing Volume object in the scene on some layer as described in Silent's Post Processing Tutorial before upload. Then, during upload, add a Post Processing Layer component to the VRCCam and specify the layer your Post Processing Volume component is on.
@sly schooner only known way is to force a fallback to Cutout, using _ALPHATEST_ON keyword or something else, and use a fully transparent texture in the albedo slot.
If your model requires a texture for other reasons, copy paste the _MainTex texture slot as _MainTex2, and then add the following right after SubShader {:
CGINCLUDE
#define _MainTex _MainTex2
#define sampler_MainTex sampler_MainTex2
#define _MainTex_ST _MainTex2_ST
#define _MainTex_TexelSize _MainTex2_TexelSize
ENDCG
The last 3 might not be necessary but depends on how the shader samples textures
so then your _MainTex is the 1x1 transparent png, and your _MainTex2 has your actual texture in it
hollow crescent
thanks for the response, but that seems overly complicated at the moment
instead, I just changed the environment lighting source to color in windows>rendering>lighting settings
sly schooner
@steep swift If it has no albedo slot? All it requires is a noise texture and a color.
So would it be simple to add the keyword?
steep swift
In debug inspector add that
Make the name include the words Toon Cutout might also help
You will still need to add the _MainTex into properties and give it a transparent texture
_Color is also required but doesn't matter what you put in there
sly schooner
@steep swift It works, thank you!
Renamed it, changed renderqueue, added maintex, made 1x1 transparent png.

I'm using a simple liquid shader that looks right in Unity, but in VRChat comes out overlaid on the glass bottle it's in. This is it in-game. (The label's a separate material).
Wait, nevermind; NOW it's decided to break in Unity too so I can at least try and troubleshoot the damn thing.
steep swift
@thorn moon it may be that both materials are transparent. If so, you may wish to override the rendering order so that the glass renders after the liquid. For example, you can change the liquid to 2999 or you could make glass 3001 in the render queue box.
Do note that this can have other consequences with transparency sorting if you have other transparent objects or avatars in your world
There is no perfect solution to transparency sorting
The inconsistency could also be related to batching or instancing
Another thought: your liquid looks opaque. Maybe the shader or material should simply be set to opaque

Hey guys, I've got a couple weird problems between blender and unity. First is that there may be some sort of alpha mask on my avatar's hair in blender that makes the tips transparent, but none of that transfers over to unity in any of the standard shaders and I'm not sure how to replicate it.
Second, press F for how Miku's poor face turned out here

muted osprey
This might also be an important detail, but all of the textures in blender has transparency turned on even if they were at 100% alpha
It looks like the face blends better with transparent rendering mode, but then unity can't figure out what order to render things
Also can you explain what you mean by "set wrong"? I'll show you my hair material for reference, I'll change it to transparent for the sake of consistency with how it uploaded, but in that mode it's all at least a little transparent, which isn't right either (it's supposed to be opaque everywhere except for the tips)
Might be worth nothing that dark swatch is likely the tip, maybe some sort of alpha mask. I didn't see any sort of alpha mask in blender though

Try fade instead of transparent
And on the image settings enable "alpha is transparency"

steep swift
@fleet nebula That Video doesn't have the best fix. It will cause aliasing artifacts in VR that look bad. You should be using bilinear filtering but change Silent's shader to pixel mode, which will just antialias the 1 pixel line between texture pixels while preserving the original intent of the texture.
The VRMC world uses this technique for block textures
fleet nebula
@steep swift well im making a shader and i came across this problem. but i see that changing the filter mode like this actually makes things pixelly. trying to use some one elses shader doesn't really do much for me

@fleet nebula you're free to integrate the pixelation algorithm into any shader.
You can find reference code here: https://gist.github.com/lyuma/18bf52da92428340bab524a025b24101
I added support for that in a project I worked on here: https://github.com/lyuma/Unity-MSDF-Fonts/blob/font-mesh-generator/Lyuma/FontMeshGen/Shaders/FontMeshMSDFText.shader

float4 frag(v2f IN) : SV_Target {
float2 texcoord = IN.texcoord;
float2 coord = texcoord * _MainTex_TexelSize.zw;
float2 fr = frac(coord + 0.5);
float2 size = max(abs(ddx(coord)), abs(ddy(coord)));
float2 delta = smoothstep((1-size)*0.5, (1+size)*0.5, fr)-fr;
float2 sampleuv = lerp(texcoord+delta*_MainTex_TexelSize.xy, texcoord, _DisablePixelation);

Any shaders that allow for multiple textures? Trying to make a slideshow in my world and VRC_Slideshow doesn't work
steep swift
Easiest: You can literally use an image sprite. For example if you drag in an animated gif, unity will set it up for you with an animation that swaps frames.
Otherwise, I'd recommend using a Texture2DArray and a shader that supports array spritesheets. Poiyomi's toon shader supports such animations and also includes a tool to generate them. Not sure if a simpler but easily downloadable shader exists
If you want to implement it yourself, you declare a property of type 2DArray
In the shader, you'll need to use a Texture2DArray object. read this for more info: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/SL-TextureArrays.html
@coarse kayak

ty ikll try it out
muted osprey
Strange issue with my avatar hair, it only renders from the inside. Toon shaders seem to work, but according to the poiyomi shader the entire outside is the outline, and none of the polys are connected. Will that create issues with how others see my avatar with shaders off?
steep swift
yes... fallback system is very inflexible. My guess is the hair has flipped normals. I'd try a shader without outline just to double check as outlines can make things confusing to debug with backface/frontface issues
in blender, you can try selecting the hair and flip normals
muted osprey
For reference, this is what happens when I set outline width > 0 in poiyomi's simple cutout shader
steep swift
that sounds like a normals issue
outline is very dependent on normals. do you absolutely need to have an outline on your hair??
what happens if you don't use an outline shader
muted osprey
It was less of an outline issue and more like I needed an outline on that shader because it though that was the outline 😂 I flipped the normals, let's see how it looks
Like 90% good but now it considers several opposite facing polys the outline. I'm not planning to use an outline but at least the important part of the hair renders on its own now
steep swift
yeah, often hair is intended to be rendered with a double sided shader
you can set this by finding the "Cull" or "Culling Mode" setting of your shader, and changing it to Off
the default Cull mode is Back, which renders just the backface
you could have changed that to Front without flipping normals in blender..... however, if you did it this way, it would look bad when people have shaders turned off
so the best thing is what you did, combined with Cull = Off
some cases the outline can do a similar job to cull = off
muted osprey
I don't see a visible difference between back and off
steep swift
you said there were gaps in the hair?
muted osprey
I'm assuming the polygonal structure is just a mess of strands like the hair is
steep swift
maybe the case
I didn't see many of the polygons connected in your picture though
I'm wondering if the hair is not set to smooth shaded
not having things set as smooth shaded will actually create extra vertices with different normals, so it can mess out outlines
and usually for realistic things you want smooth shading anyway
muted osprey
Would that be set in blender? I've got absolutely 0 experience with shader configuration 😂
steep swift
smooth shading is something you set in blender, from Edit mode
select all, then do vertices -> shade smooth
might be a bit different in your version of blender but something like that
though you might need to do "Merge By Distance" first...sometimes the import process has each polygon separate
beware: Merge By Distance can mess up some geometry, so be careful... do it only on your hair and save a backup
start with setting smooth shading and see if that's good enough
muted osprey
Hmmm it's at least behaving a little nicer. Same weird outline issues though
steep swift
hair's just not a good fit for outlines a lot of the time

I'm at least confident it won't look too scuffed with shaders off, but I gotta check with someone when I get to uploading it

@steep swift any other infromation you can point me towards regarding texture arrays/image sprites? I don't know how to code/script
steep swift
start with poiyomi's shader and see if it does what you want
it supports "gif" animations - which are basically texture arrays
for unity's built in animated sprite system, here's a simple tutorial how to set it up--this doesn't need a custom shader but instead you assign the textures in an animation: https://riptutorial.com/unity3d/example/20115/2d-sprite-animation

hexed birch
I would like to make a coat with static texture that has a moving texture on a irregular section
Is there a shader that will allow me to select the moving section based on a texture mask?
Or will I need to just physically cut and assign a second material in blender?
astral plover
@hexed birch pretty sure poiyomi's shader has something like this
muted osprey
I'm getting into poiyomi shaders, there is some cool stuff here. I've seen someone animate his polygons coming off his clothes with some sort of gif height mask, and it makes me wonder what exact things I can use a gif for. It doesn't seem like I can use it in vertex options though

I was trying to mess around with transparency on poiyomi dissolve shaders, and at some point I found out that my texture just vanishes under a certain alpha. Any idea why this would happen?

does anyone have or know of any shaders for eyelashes and the clear part of an eye? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/402349592244649996/717217229975978104/unknown.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/402349592244649996/717217562416513024/unknown.png
If that black is an alpha channel then on the texture import settings enable use alpha as transparency.
Otherwise you can try cutting it out and see what happens there.
any ideas for the eye shader? the glassy clear part of the eye
What's wrong with the eye? It looks okay to me
i mean how the eye has the inner part for the eye texture and then it has the outer part for the glossy look
not in the picture just in general
muted osprey
Oh I mean you could either texture that in or add specular lighting to a standard shader.

I'm using Poiyomi 5.4, and this part of a mesh which is blank on the alpha causes the entire model to be culled underneath it when viewed from far away.

not sure how to go about this, but basically want a shader that one avatar can use to see hidden elements on another avatar...if that makes sense. Could this be achieved with the stencil shader?
steep swift
stencils are probably the easiest way to approach this
it's not a shader, more a shader setting
so like XSToon and Poiyomi's Toon Shader both allow you to configure a stencil by default
the thing that reveals the stencil can use a shader such as XSToonStenceler
vapid inlet
guys is there a shader that makes things black and white when you look through it (like a visor of some kind)
shut robin
Ugh, remind me how to force one material show between two others
muted osprey
Your question makes no sense, but if I read it right, just raise the render queue priority
shut robin
Before I came in here I tried setting the eye "whites" to Geometry (2000), the pupils to Alpha Test (2450), and everything else to Transparent (3000). They don't change
The pupils stay behind everything else
And it sounds like my question does make sense if you read it right
Oh I see, I meant to say "to show between"
steep swift
@shut robin Generally objects are sorted using the depth buffer (aka Z buffer), controlled by ZWrite and ZTest settings
most opaque shaders will write and test. some transparent shaders will, some won't
if you are using the depth buffer, then the order that something is rendered has virtually no effect
if not, and you are on queue below 2501, you may run into issues where the skybox draws over top of you
changing the queue alone won't affect whether an object uses ZWrite On / Off or ZTest LEqual / Always
shut robin
Assume I have inspector options for all of those things on my shader
steep swift
sure
if you intend to change ZTest settings, that is generally not useful on its own as it will produce undesirable issues (drawing over other objects in the scene when it shouldn't), and is often combined with use of stencils
anyway - just giving an explanation of the things involved. I think you're going to have to figure out what exactly you are trying to do because I'm not sure if you are clear on that
there's probably a more straightforward solution to whatever it is you're running into
shut robin
I'm making fake eyes, with pupil meshes that are actually spatially behind the sclerae mesh that need to appear in front. But they also need to appear behind everything else
steep swift
I see, guess you'll have to play around with stuff a bit. I've seen people use stencils for something similar, like making eyes show up in front of the hair
@shut robin Aside from stencils, a technique I use is to shift the clip space position of the mesh.
The following code will move the vertex 0.025 meters towards the camera, so it will allow it to show up in front of an object that is 2.5 centimeters in front of it.
float3 objSpaceCamPos = mul(unity_WorldToObject, float4(_WorldSpaceCameraPos, 1)).xyz;
float3 camVertVector = normalize(v.vertex - objSpaceCamPos);
float4 properClipPos = UnityObjectToClipPos(v.vertex);
float4 adjustedClipPos = UnityObjectToClipPos(v.vertex - 0.025 * camVertVector );
o.pos = float4(properClipPos.xy, adjustedClipPos.z * properClipPos.w / adjustedClipPos.w, properClipPos.w);
@vapid inlet cancerspace has a setting for saturation, which you can set to 0 to remove colour from anything behind the object you put the material on

Does anyone know how to make an object half and half 2 unlit colors? I'm trying to do that but the turning point isn't completely a solid color and looks like a lerp gradient, I want to make it look like an "edge". Please @drifting oxide when replying! Thank you ^^
lethal rock
@drifting oxide use step(0.5, value) if you want a hard cutoff
mint crow
do what now?
lethal rock
Sorry pinged you by accident
lethal rock
Don’t doubt it lol
stiff berry
there's no need to use step, personally I think it makes code harder to understand. Just do col = value >= 0.5 ? value : 0;
or even
value *= value >= 0.5;
both of those are the exact same thing as step but are much more understandable
lethal rock
The second definitely is less easy to understand than step, so not sure I’d trust your opinion on what’s more readable, so let’s let kyoko decide
stiff berry
there's also the normal if statement version
if(value < 0.5)
value = 0;
which should almost always be compiled down to the same exact thing as step. You can add [UNITY_FLATTEN] above it to be sure and/or check the compiled code
which is probably the most readable of them all
i just don't like suggesting step because it hides which way the conditional is going
lethal rock
I think it’s pretty obvious
Actually
It’s only their documentation that’s bad confusing
stiff berry
I also don't like the way some people suggest to use step instead of branches or ternarys like there's even a difference, not saying that you have suggested that
but yea feel free to use whatever i suppose
lethal rock
I honestly do think it looks cleaner and clearer than the ternary but I’d never suggest someone change their ternary to step, likewise the other way around
stiff berry
i just think it's easier for someone who's new to understand a concept they probably understand well from other languages instead of learning step. Maybe you could yell at me for this value *= value >= 0.5; though, but that one does work in C i think
drifting oxide
Oh, thanks! And it's the other Kyoko haha xD

ivory oak
define hard edges manually in blender
ivory oak
u gotta go longer with the hard edge
where two strands meet add an extra edge at top
you can reclculate normals from faces too if you feel it ignored the edges
coral veldt
Besides recalculating not doing what its supposed to i assume. my strands going that high up dont allow for resmoothing the shader

I use a tool called y.a.v.n.e its a blender plugin. Maybe give that a try
ivory oak
no problem
coral veldt
im actually really impressed by that program addon
ivory oak
i mostly use it for when normals get stuck and blender cant fix it
the downside is that it sometimes adds hard edges where i dont want em so i just seperate stuff before i run it
solid grail
wish you could mask what has the change applied to the normals by selected verts with yavne but it never seems to work that way
always end up having to split off what I want changed so it doesn't change anything else

yup but still very useful. wish someone would develop it further

@astral plover render queues over 4000 tend to be reset at some points. I would suggest going no higher than 4000
Just going off hours of wasted world dev time a couple weeks ago debugging stuff rendering in the wrong order only after upload... and it was all fixed when I avoided queues above 4000
steep swift
I mean it's not that it isn't going to render. But maybe they are all getting set to 4000
So like if you just have one thing to render you won't notice... but if you have two things that need to be in a particular order, if they are all 4000 then you can't be sure of that

would anyone happen to know how to grab the depth buffer when you do a grab pass
so i could figure out the clipspace z coordinate of each grabbed pixel
trying to make an image effect that only alters pixels/fragments if theyre more than a certain distance away from the camera
steep swift
Sure! @brisk junco You actually don't need a GrabPass for that. Instead, you need a directional light with very special settings so that unity generates it.
Check the wonderful Neitri's github: https://github.com/netri/Neitri-Unity-Shaders
He actually explains the exact settings you need on the directional light at the bottom so follow closely.
Well you might also need a grabpass if you're doing stuff i with colors other than blending, but a simple fade effect using depth, like loli_explorer.exe's ghost avatar, would be fine just using alpha and the _CameraDepthTexture
brisk junco
Ooo
Always a workaround
Yeah i'm doing an image effect, so i guess i'd need to combine these

Should be a simple question to answer, just can't figure it out myself; how can I put a mask over the opaque part of a transparent texture that's forced to be opaque? I essentially have single color images over a black background, and I want to apply an RGB mask to just the color, but to black instead of 0 alpha
Using poiyomi's free shaders
steep swift
Did you check alpha is transparent in the texture import settings?
muted osprey
I'm using the texture for 2d visemes, so transparency isn't what I want out of it. I want the mask to change the color to black instead
A mask over this, like a noise texture for example, that overlays the texture as an RGB mask over the blue
Found it out, just needed to set all R, G, and B on the advanced cutout RGB mask to black with the noise tex as a mask

When importing a simple material from blender (just color with a bit of transparency, no texture file) into unity, what's the best way to go about adding a shader effect to it? It seems like the entire object UV maps to a very specific, tiny part of the material sphere, and I can't tile any textures or shader effects small enough to render on it. I figure a workaround would be to UV map it to a solid texture in blender, but I'd rather avoid reimporting my model into unity if possible
steep swift
If you save over the existing fbx file, unity will update just what you changed without requiring a full reimport
muted osprey
Is what I said the right workaround though? Or can I UV map to a material without a texture or something similar?
hasty moth
aren't shaders, scripts? or atleast require scripts to use them for unity. I thought in vrchat 'scripts' were blocked?
steep swift
Shaders are self contained programs that run directly on your graphics hardware... they can't do anything to your system aside from cause lag (like fur shaders) which can crash you but nothing else.... (a lot of things in vrc can cause crashes if used irresponsibly.)
@hasty moth So shaders are allowed on avatars and worlds, but not scripts... however, shaders are not shown to new players by default until you have 300-600 hours of playtime, called the " trusted user" rank. Why is "user" not enough? It's a fucking stupid system.
Luckily a lot of people do show shaders or mess with settings , and you can usually convince people to show your avatar especially if it's clear that shaders are blocked.

I'm going to guess you don't have legacy blend shape normals ticked

i didn't but i just checked it and it didn't change anything
oh do i have to reimport the model after making those changes?
sharp pike
Once you click apply, it should apply the changes
It'll reimport automatically
I'm not so sure from the gif, but it could also be possible that the blink blendshape is moving some vertices in other parts of the mesh that it shouldn't be
civic onyx
i'll experiment with it in blender
nope the rest of the model stays stationary
i changed to a different eye closing blend shape and it still happens, i think it's a conflict with the shader

@civic onyx legacy blend shapes should fix it. You can also try unchecking legacy and set the Blend Shape Normal dropdown to either Import or None and see if it looks better

I quickly realized that my little stencil magic trick is ruined by someone not showing my shaders and just saying what I'm waiting to show. Is there a way to make my shader fallback to a completely invisible one?
last nexus
@muted osprey scale your mesh to 0.001 and rescale them in your shader, so if shader is disabled it’s just too tiny to see
static ibex
@worldly fiber sorry for late response! If u already figured this out feel free to ignore
- Like a gloss map? Color black over where you want it to not be shiny. And make sure your map is in any metallic/smoothness set up too!
- So basically, usually smoothness/metallic work that they take information from a reflection probe within the map. This reflection probe is basically a 360 picture of the environment around it. So the shader basically takes this picture, and projects it on your shiny/metallic sections.
Some shaders (Like Rero Standard) can let you put a probe within the shader stored in the avatar. (Called a fallback cubemap) You can have it so that cubemap is only pulled up when there is no other reflection probes, or you can have it so it’s always on no matter where you go. That’s possibly what causes the difference in the avatars.
Could also be specular but not sure if thats light probe based or realtime light based or what
sharp pike
@muted osprey I've seen people talk about having the shader fallback to a cutout shader with _MainTex as a fully transparent texture whereby the texture you want to use in your shader is in a different property: https://discordapp.com/channels/189511567539306508/534472629013315606/714011713170571283
