https://kurotu.booth.pm/items/2436054 this Unity extension has a button for removing vertex colors

[crude summit]

I fixed it on my own, but thanks anyways! It was indeed vertex colors

[uneven steeple]

I'm trying to install Android Build Support on my Unity but it's saying that the 2019.4.31f1 version can't install any modules. Am I doing something wrong?

[cloud fiber]

I've been trying to resolve this issue for days now, would really appreciate pointers on it

Three materials on this avatar: body, clothes, and for the seasonal additions
Toon lit shader
Looks fine in Unity

Clothes material gets applied to everything else in-game
What are the possible culprits for this?

[lilac oar]

Anyone got any idea how to fix this mess:

[cloud fiber]

It got fixed at some point by renaming the mesh/armature in Unity, but I am not seeing a connection to messed up materials with that

[wraith jewel]

your main problem is that you are in an old unity, we are currently using 2019.4.31 https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/current-unity-version#:~:text=The current Unity version in,are using this exact version!

[vale anvil]

Did you install android build support when first downloading the unity version?

[silk frigate]

I have a question about the new dynamics revamp coming out

https://vrscout.com/news/vrchat-avatars-are-getting-a-major-upgrade/

Will it be available for quest 1?

[brittle hull]

I assume vrchat quest 1 isn't being droped so yeh

Probably would make the fps issue wurce tho

[silk frigate]

I dont care about fps

As long as it will work

[vague badge]

why is every video player broken on quest ?

i mean i know that's probably because VRC_SyncVideoPlayer and VRC_SyncVideoStream are disabled on quest but why are those disabled ?
Are they that heavy for the system ?

[wraith jewel]

We will probably never get the answer

[south lily]

wait, they broke?

[fallen portal]

Most Video players don't have .mp4 which quest requires to run it

Its possible to have it (See Danganmafia's video players, I had to host my own videos to make it work with quest)

So tldr most video players use youtube and youtube doesn't return a .mp4 link

[vocal sphinx]

hi, quick ask, does oculus quest 2 have finger tracking?

[wraith jewel]

no it just does finger positions when pressing a specific combination of controller button/triggers

like 8 total

it doesnt actually track your fingers

[feral galleon]

It does but its only an experimental thing rn and it doesnt work on many games if any games

[tulip jacinth]

I need help
Im trying to use the new unity 2019.4.31 and it won't met me change the build to android, yet i have the android build installed. I'm not sure how to fix the issue

[wraith jewel]

delete the .meta file the error is refeeencing

you can see meta files in Windows File Explorer

[tulip jacinth]

oh okie
Thank you c:

[wraith jewel]

yu

[fiery dust]

I'm having issues with some effects only showing up in a single eye on my oculus quest 2
anyone ever have anything like that happen to them?

[wraith jewel]

ive had that problem with some of the worlds I made, except it was completely black in one eye except for a few specific things that showed

for quest specifically this was ages back

i dont know what fixed it honestly it just went away

[fiery dust]

yeah that's whats happening for me

one eye shows some particle effects and the other shows a plane of lava that I'm trying to display

I want both to show up in both eyes

also cant seem to get collision to work properly either

I'm brand new to all this though so It's probably my fault

[fair tinsel]

https://ask.vrchat.com/t/fix-for-quest-worlds-only-rendering-in-left-eye/4007

[fair tinsel]

non Quest compatible shaders basically

[fiery dust]

ok thanks a bunch, I'll look into what makes them quest compatible

[fair tinsel]

I suggest until you figure that out basically swapping everything to like vrchat Standard Lite Shader on your quest build

[fiery dust]

ok thanks for the tip

[fair tinsel]

https://github.com/JordoVR/EasyQuestSwitch

this makes it easy to swap the materials between PC and Quest

[silk frigate]

So this will replace basically everything about the model to make it fit quest?

[fair tinsel]

you still need to do that yourself it just makes it where it's easy to swap the parts when you switch build so you don't have to set up multiple scenes

[muted coyote]

switched to android and now lightings a bit blotchy. just random spots https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/565256275647004687/926746654504275988/blotchy.PNG

[wicked olive]

In the Android build settings, should texture compression be set to ASTC if all the textures in the scene are set to be overwritten for Android with Compressed ATSC? Would overriding in the build settings just make switching between builds slower?

[tulip gale]

Every time I try to make my Avatar Quest compatible by switching to an Android Unity build it just keeps crashing and I can’t open the project anymore does anyone know how I can fix this issue?

[ivory hamlet]

Would anyone be willing to make an house/apartment for me and my friend?

[south lily]

you could get one commissioned in VRC traders

[ivory hamlet]

How?

[south lily]

theres server link to them in #community-servers-old

[tulip gale]

Every time I open Builder on Unity VRC SDK nothing appears

Anyone know how to fix this?

[wraith jewel]

check unity error console

the red bar at the bottom of unity doesn't constitute as the unity error console rather just shows one errror from it

so click that red bar to open the console that should give useful information on how to troubleshoot

[autumn radish]

Try right-clicking the root assets folder and "reimport all". Sometimes the SDK wigs out and you have to reimport it. This usually fixes it.

[north bane]

Anyone else get told "Can't find Unity.exe" when trying to install the android addon?
I've got it pointed to the correct folder and when I check the folder, Unity.exe is right there but when I run the installer it just says can't find Unity.exe and closes

[crimson vapor]

Bruh

[autumn radish]

I had a similar issue with the Android NDK on Mac. I installed Unity and the Android add on at the same time, but it failed to install part of it and complained the entire time it couldn't find it. The separate Android installer meanwhile couldn't find the Unity install and failed, even though it did exist.

Installing the NDK manually and pointing Unity to its location in preferences worked, mostly, but if you're having that issue with the whole Unity Android package, not just a part of the NDK/SDK, I'm not sure what to say beyond reinstalling Unity and selecting the Android build tools during installation when it asks which parts to install.

[torpid aurora]

For me this is almost always due to errors. I click "autofix" on something and it evaporates the window. Most of the time it's because of a missing animator on a mesh, but it could be caused by broken scripts or a number of other things.

See here

If I remove the animator, it dies

This happens sometimes when autofixing models

[unreal garnet]

Hi quest devs. What might some reasons be for a world i just successfully uploaded getting frozen on the "initializing world..." screen with no picture?

[left summit]

hello

im trying to develop my first vr world https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWvarxgP8HM

but idk what unity version to use in 2020

and i dont know where to find the sdk

[south lily]

vrchat.com

[left summit]

i have this unity version rn

[south lily]

unity 2019.4.31

[south lily]

no

[left summit]

so this wont work

[south lily]

no

[left summit]

ok

[south lily]

when downloading 2019.4.31f1, be sure to get the pc sdk/addon!

[left summit]

i am a mac user

[south lily]

many mac users dont or forget to

[left summit]

does it change anything?

[south lily]

it lets you upload to pc, mac unity defaults to mobile sdks / quest only stuff

so youd be stuck on the quest platform until you doenload thr pc addon on unity

[left summit]

yeah i'm good on the quest platform

i am a quest user

but i'd like to share my world on pc too

so i have to download the pc addon

i am new to unity

[south lily]

correct

[left summit]

ok

so, step 1 let's install unity 2019

[south lily]

are you doin worlds or avatars?

[left summit]

worlds for now

that's the main priority

i am at this point

what do i have to check?

[south lily]

android and i believe windows. but that doesnt look like the right windows addon i recognize but it might be

sorry, its been 2 months since ive seen this window lol

[left summit]

i have pressed the green button

and this window appeared

so i have to press android and windows

[south lily]

yep

[left summit]

k it is installing

now i have to install the pc addon

[south lily]

windows should be the pc addon

[left summit]

ah ok so i already installed it

then i need the sdk addon only

[south lily]

it should be, if not, you might need to head back and find the pc addon

[left summit]

k ty

[south lily]

vrcsdk

[left summit]

wat

[south lily]

after you make your first new project, youll be importing the worlds vrcsdk

[left summit]

ok?

i have an stl model

that's my world i have exported it in stl

[south lily]

ok, i think stl natively works, if not, be prepared to open blender and rexport that model as an fbx

[left summit]

ok ty

my fault

the model is not in stl

it is fbx

btw i still need to install the sdk addon

i can't find it tho

[south lily]

oh the android and windows stuff were the sdks

you just need the worlds vrcsdk now

[left summit]

oh

[left summit]

sorry, what does that mean?

i need to import my fbx world?

[south lily]

import fbx into unity

[left summit]

ok

[south lily]

go to vrchat.com and navigate to the “downloads” page and DL the wprlds sdk

[south lily]

yes

[left summit]

wich one of the two?

[south lily]

world

[left summit]

k

[left summit]

ok @south lily downloaded

now?

[south lily]

drag and drop in unity

[unreal garnet]

Hi, I'm experiencing an issue where when I spawn in my world I can't move, the menu flickers and is unusable, and when I turn my head everything in my field of view turns with it. Has anyone else experienced this/know a fix? I've tried making the vrcworld object static but no luck

[south lily]

have you made a new unity project yet?

[south lily]

is your spawn far from 000

[left summit]

ok, i am at this point

i continue to follow the tutorial i guess

[unreal garnet]

@south lily recentering fixed it thank you!

[unreal garnet]

Does anyone know how I can write in the box next to eventname? It's grayed out and I cant figure out how to write in it

[south lily]

you need the node “customevent” to be in the graph

[unreal garnet]

I'm confused because isnt the node pictured a customevent node in the graph? I was following a tutorial to this point fine except here he could write next to event name and i could not

[south lily]

does it not dropdown?

[unreal garnet]

nope its greyed out and wont drop down

[south lily]

add customevent node

[unreal garnet]

still not working

[south lily]

put something in customevent

like “sendevent”

[unreal garnet]

i did but i still cant enter an eventname

[south lily]

try asking in #udon-general they might know

[brittle hull]

String, constrictor

And wire that In

[molten pilot]

Yall think Facebook (meta) will buy vrchat and take it over for their new metaverse?

[austere falcon]

Hell no lmao

[left summit]

why is this happening?

on the inside, the external mesh disappears

could it be that the face orientation is wrong?

this is on blender

[left summit]

Solved

[left summit]

this was the problem

[coarse oyster]

attempting to switch my pc world over to quest, uploaded it with the android build target but on my quest all i see is grey after loading the world. i can see my mic icon and open the menu but thats it

what does it mean?

[coarse oyster]

turns out it was a screen space shader

[coarse oyster]

damn theres a water shader i really like but its only rendering in one eye on the quest (mochies water)

[unreal garnet]

Hi quest devs. I was wondering if there's any way to make a quest avatar with particle effects that come out looking how they do in unity? Last time i tried all the shaders were broken.. yet in game I still see quest avatars with working particle effects..

btw i optimized particle count and all that. fairly certain the problem is shaders

[south lily]

its been awhile since ive done particles like a normal person but they could be "mesh particles" you might be seeing, or theyre using a specific particle settng that might be getting the desired results

[sweet tundra]

Delete the world, reupload as PC only

[upper whale]

In my world, some quest users report sliding around when they stop walking, some get stuck in a specific spot in the world near spawn. Does anyone know what i can do about this?

[wicked olive]

why might the terrain always be set to max smoothness on the Android build? The shader is set to the default Nature>terrain>standard. The metallic slider works but the smoothness and specular don't do anything. I don't remember having this issue before.

[unreal garnet]

When I try to put down a portal marker and use the "move tool", I can't see the rectangle like usual, only this thing. The rectangle appears when I use the "edit bounding volume tool", but I need to see it while I'm moving it (as I've been able to do to this point). The game object is active. Any idea how I can fix this? Thx. edit: and it's not a zooming issue

[wanton sluice]

Hi there. Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but will VRChat support slime vr trackers standalone with quest 2?

[wicked olive]

I just ended up setting the shader to Nature>terrain>diffuse

[rain elbow]

how do i make my world quest compatible

[wraith jewel]

download the android api

for unity

[lunar flume]

is it agains VRCHAT policy to have a Youtube Video player with a functional search bar?

against

[wraith jewel]

how to i put the avatar i just made on quest

[glossy prairie]

Should 15k polygons in a avatar work for quest?

[fair tinsel]

yes

[glossy prairie]

Ok thanks

[wraith jewel]

Aye will quest users ever get an avatar searcher

[fair tinsel]

a avatar searching function is unlikely to come to the game at all

[thin parrot]

No not yet

[thin parrot]

That is clients only

[wraith jewel]

Damn🥲

Also do we have a clue on the physbones update

[fair tinsel]

only sometime early 2022

[wraith jewel]

Damn🥲

[spare current]

it will come before or during febuary it was pushed back do to bugs for quest but the will come to pc first

[wraith jewel]

Ah ok thankfully i dont have to ask everybody now

[spare current]

yw

[rancid mist]

It should come around February mid

[fervent knot]

Something went wrong, did you provide a valid ID?

[noble bear]

For some reason the vr chat mobile shader is causing my material to have a blue hue. does anyone have a fx to this

standard lighting

vrchat mobile lighting

how do I fix this?

[fair tinsel]

looks like your model has a Vertex color on it

https://github.com/kurotu/VRCQuestTools#readme this tool has a button for removing vertex colors

[tawdry notch]

Probably a dumb question but I don't do Quest versions very often:
If I want to make sure a variable stays synched between the PC and Quest version, I just need to make sure the variable is named the exact same thing, capitalization and all, right? The fact there's fewer variables in the Quest version should be irrelevant?

[fair tinsel]

yeah it would need the same name and capitalization between the two the variable you want to synchronize

[fleet fable]

I made a PC world and I copied it and used the easy quest switch add-on to help me make it quest compatible and when I try to publish the world for quest it says this?

[fleet fable]

Pls help

[upbeat ruin]

youre trying to upload it from your temp folder?

u shouldnt be storing things there im p sure

i might b talking out of my ass but idk

[autumn radish]

That's where VRCSDK moves compiled asset bundles before upload. It's supposed to be in temp.

[autumn radish]

Check your VRCSDK control panel and make sure the world IDs match.

[upbeat ruin]

gotcha, i was talking out of my ass then

[autumn radish]

TBF I had a different error that showed that and it took me a day to realize the error wasn't actually an error itself. I kept thinking the SDK had the wrong directory. Turns out it'll spit out an error with that any time builds fail.

SDK is a bit undercooked.

[fleet fable]

They do

[fleet fable]

What's the issue then?

[autumn radish]

I don't really know. In your case that error sounds like the SDK can't get the record for your world.

The ID for the quest world matches the PC world in the Blueprint, yes?

Nothing added or changed?

[fleet fable]

Also when I try to join the world in Vrchat it just sends me to the vrchat home world and the image says no image found

[fleet fable]

yes

[autumn radish]

Huh. I had a similar issue earlier. VRChat was "uploading" the metadata for my world but not the actual world.

Try re-importing [all] your assets, recreating the world descriptor, and reattach the world ID by copying it from the control panel into the blueprint.

The Quest World SDK seems to have an issue with failing to throw certain errors and "uploading" blank data.

[fleet fable]

How do I re-import everything?

[autumn radish]

Right click Assets in the project browser then Reimport All

[fleet fable]

Right thanks, that fixed it.

[supple stag]

Could anyone possibly direct me to some info on making particle effects for quest, every tutorial I find uses other assets and shaders that quests cannot use and im basically ripping my hair out at this point whenever I try and ask a quest avatar creator they just say "its pretty easy actually" and walk away

[autumn radish]

Particles are SEVERELY limited on Quest and you cannot use Transparency (so the VRChat's Mobile Particle shaders are out of the question, save for one).

Furthermore, if you exceed the particle limitations or your avatar is ranked then particle systems are completely disabled.

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/avatar-performance-ranking-system

[junior hollow]

can someone pls help me

i keep getting this error after i press build and publish.. although i change the quality settings

[half pier]

You're selected on VRC Ultra. Select VRC Mobile and check that value

[autumn radish]

Only VRC Mobile should be checked in the Android category. The others are PC only.

[junior hollow]

@half pier Thank you both.. but strangely .. I selected now only VRC Mobile.. but the issue remains... as soon as i build it it switches Pixel Light Count from 1 to 4 and enables Anti-Aliasing

[autumn radish]

That is default for VRChat. You cannot change this.

You'll still get the error but having the others checked for android sometime causes issues.

[junior hollow]

hmm.. i just would like to buil and test it so i though i remove all error .. but its greyed out i can only press build and publish

[autumn radish]

You can't test Quest content.

The Quest client has no concept of testing.

[junior hollow]

ahhh

oh man thx

[autumn radish]

You can publish a private world to test. That's closest to it.

[junior hollow]

so i can keep these errors

[autumn radish]

More or less. ⚠️ just means "this isn't best". Only 🛑 should be concerns, in most cases.

Though sometimes you might find optimization tips or config issues in ⚠️ .

[junior hollow]

Thank you Misu. Have a great sunday!

[cerulean gate]

Could somebody explain to me what is happening here?

[wraith jewel]

The vrchat devs are to lazy to take them out

[lament owl]

It's likely more 'moving this will instantly break every vrchat world using those, at least in the editor' causing a bunch of confusion

[south lily]

actually, thats a good point, why are those included in the avatar sdk?

[half pier]

I believe these are only for worlds

[cerulean gate]

Cool, thank you guys for the responses! Toon lit it is then.

[sweet tundra]

Left over from SDK2 where the two SDKs were one, no reason they're still here

[analog anchor]

Has anyone run into the issue when uploading a quest avatar and rather than the normal upload page you just get something along the lines of "no cameras rendering"?

[analog anchor]

sorry, if anyone has this problem in the future and finds this through search I fixed it by reinstalling the sdk

[half pier]

Add a camera to the scene. Top of unity > Game Objects > Camera

[analog anchor]

I already said how I fixed it, doing that just made a camera view for the game mode, not actually bring up the upload screen

[half pier]

The game screen actually displays the upload screen you know

[analog anchor]

Yes actually I do know that, after uploading around over 200 avatars I think that would be drilled into me, but yeah like I said, with that issue adding your own camera did not bring up the actual upload screen

[green sleet]

Hey all, I seem to be having a weird bug, and I really don't know where to start. I am on Unity 2019.4.31f1 and when I crunch textures on the Android build environment, the textures go from this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tl5qczzg4sung1k/Unity_LIz53TJKes.png?dl=0

to this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/oipalvgc31trmm0/Unity_bkzSsMdL4J.png?dl=0

Anyone have any suggestions?

Fixed by changing the format to RGBA Compressed DXT5 under Android compression settings.

[south lily]

dont do that, they go black in game

[modern stag]

After adding quest support to a world is it possible to remove it from that same world?

[green sleet]

They do? Just tested on both quest and PC and it's fine o.o

[south lily]

oh, you used compressed instead of crunched. nvm

sorry

[queen jacinth]

So in the SDK tab, the active build target is set to Android but the android support still says no. Anybody have any ideas on how I can fix that?

This is my first time creating a world so I dunno what to do 😂

[bitter tiger]

Do u have android builder

[queen jacinth]

Yeah

[queen jacinth]

I have the one that you use in unity, not a standalone app if that's what you're asking

[bitter tiger]

No it's like something u select before unity is downloaded

[queen jacinth]

I think I have that

[green sleet]

Oh Crunch makes it look like that?

[south lily]

crunched usually makes the size on pc much smaller

android should be using crunched etc or astc

[green sleet]

So when I do RGB Crunched ETC the textures look bad again see: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jzbv0fwcferizyq/Unity_Hay25lcjiO.png?dl=0

[south lily]

if the avatar fits on quest, then it should be fine, thas usually the format to use if the avatar/world is too big

[green sleet]

All right, will change the texture to ETC just to avoid any compatibility issues in the future

Thank you!

[lament owl]

If you don't have to crunch things, ASTC is actually reccomended. It halves the VRAM cost but still looks fairly good

(only reason it's not default is cause it's supported on less Android hardware, but it's supported on both Quests)

[vague badge]

do someone know where I can find a nice blender 3 introduction ?
i'm currently following this one, it assumes I have a basic understanding of the software but i never used it before and it's with 2.7 so i need to search where the options moved ;-;
https://github.com/rikeri/vrchat-room-tutorial

(if you have a tutorial with oculus optimization it's even better )

[wide fox]

My friend is having trouble enabling building for Android in unity. It just doesn't work for some reason. What might he be doing wrong?

[vagrant schooner]

When installing Unity did they download the Android build too? It had check marks for Windows MacOS Linux Android etc

oo thanks

[rose granite]

are there any good tutorials for baking lightmaps on the android build? seems impossible to get the ambient color to look close when baking lightmaps

PC Build:

Quest Build:

Bakery light mapper works amazing on PC builds but for android it doesn't seem to help. If anyone has any suggestions i would love to know

[dark widget]

Hm are you using the same project for both platforms? There shouldn't be much of a difference between the two lightmaps at all. I bake my lightmaps with bakery for the PC build and then just switch platforms. Lightmap usually looks identical.
Make sure to use ASTC for texture compression which looks much better than the default ETC that is used for android.

[rose granite]

I do the same exact method, I learned to help fix the lightmaps by changing the compression method to ASTC HDR 4x4 however the issue I currently face is the overall brightness now

On PC the room is dimly lit and feels ambient, on quest it is very bright. Wondering what is causing this problem

[jovial moss]

Have questions:
Why a blender model with 3k tris shows 7k tris in unity? I am trying to create quest world within 30k tris but the extra 3k feel weird

[half pier]

Do you have anything else attached to it in Unity?

[jovial moss]

No, I just imported it

the FBX file only

[dark widget]

Could be that you looked at polygons in blender instead of triangles. Since on export I think blender triangulazies all meshes you basically get double the polygons.

[jovial moss]

No, poly is 1.6k, tri is 3.2k in blender

[primal wolf]

Hey devs 👋

Last year I published a FBT demo video using nothing but an iPhone – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiA2mr3LhEY. At that time I figured from docs that it would be impossible to implement it in VRC. However, I was told many times over past year that VRC community would greatly benefit from such affordable FBT solution. (Company I work for is developing standalone solution that can be integrated as a lib in existing Unity projects. I was given permission to share code of original demo.)

I would like to revisit the idea of implementing FBT with a phone in VRC. The aim is to support only Quest + iPhone combo. Could you please look at this code snippet – https://gist.github.com/mlajtos/506c0138ffd43e30bd597f2612448f8a – and tell me if it could be integrated with current development capabilities?

Explainer: Quest probes local network for the phone via ZeroConf. After connection, body pose data is streamed from phone to Quest as UDP messages. Every message contains 91 joints represented as Matrix4x4<Float> which are decoded and transforms are applied to GameObjects. (If you want to play with it, here is link to iPhone app: https://testflight.apple.com/join/PQk7Gu5U)

[wraith jewel]

Well, if they ever see this, I'd be curious and concerned. There's still a lot of weeding to do before people can be trusted with this

...You know what I'm talking about😑

[half pier]

Why does it need to transmit 91 joints? That seems like a bit of a waste of data

[wraith jewel]

Yeah... at most, you'd need around 15-ish

[half pier]

You only need 3: each foot and hip

You don't need to transmit the entire skeleton

[primal wolf]

Yeah, 91 is the maximum app can provide. Internally (company I prototyped this for) we use only 13 + hands and head are from HMD – we do fancy math to match the 2 data sources. Since the transport is done over UDP on local network, the data transfer is not a problem.

[primal wolf]

I am sorry, but I don't know what you are referring to.

[lime sandal]

Anyone here know if Direct links from GoogleDrive to a video player works on quest?

[warm siren]

anyone know of a quest video player that's low on MB?

[south lily]

smallest youd get is the default one that comes with the sdk

[untold inlet]

You see I have the Quest 2
and I don't know how to see VRChat from my computer with the SDK, I know that I have to select the client in the settings, but the client is on my Quest 2, it's not on my computer, I have to download the client from Steam
and have 2 accounts or something?
in order to take a client in my computer?

I have spent a fairly little amount of time on VRChat as of now, so I can not publish worlds yet, I have to test them locally

You know what, I solved it

[dull harbor]

We are looking for a unity developer with experience in multiplayer games for hackathon)) for details, write in private messages)))

Anyone planning to make one based off of like football baseball basketball soccer we’re people to pick different types of team names team colors I had set the time for how long do you want the quarters or halves and having it set up the proper teams with the same size avatars is anybody else developing like is the type of course show that has several different categories there’s like a house that reads stuff you but then there’s like several different categories and it’s better than that jar one What you just described pictures if so let me know cause those sound like really good worlds that should be made

[outer raptor]

here, i have some extra punctuation you can borrow. , . ! ? ;

[wraith jewel]

😆

[fiery oyster]

What's that.

[wraith jewel]

Something that sounds complicated and may or may not be terms friendly

I dunno, Is it legit?

[gritty lynx]

It uses a bit wonky but it is indeed complicated. Works on quest and pc

[south lily]

you using blendshapes/viseme magic?

[umbral loom]

Are transparent materials allowed on quest worlds? Wrong chat

[teal moat]

yes

[south lily]

https://booth.pm/ja/items/3031851 this might help

[final ferry]

How are things looking for dynamic bones? Heard we might be getting them soon?

[south lily]

some say soon. but i think theyre wanting to knock out more avatar gizmos before fully starting that process. like IK stuff and OSC support, more tracking, random stuff

im hoping to be able to send world data onto a quest avatar with ease

[willow marten]

how does a world like constarr's karaoke play videos on quest? i've tried the link resolving service like Jinnai but that doesn't seem to work.

i'm trying to do some music listening event and make it quest compatible but i'm having a real hard time figuring out what to do

[south lily]

you could host the videos your self, you could provide just the audio via websites like vocaroo. you can try other ytdl branches or host your own as jinnai slowly deteriates. etc

i highly suggest using discord or dropbox as a medium. if content is copyrighted, you can try google drive or onedrive along with many other website solutions

if the media is fully owned by you, you can also use vrcdn to host vods for you that can be quest compat as well

[willow marten]

i tried both google drive and one drive. can't figure out how to get the raw file link out of those services

[south lily]

If you want to make a google drive link work on quest. follow this structure:

https://drive.google.com//uc?export=download&id= (your google drive ID)

onedrive should just work, you might be using a format that is not quest comparible

[willow marten]

i'm looking at google drive right now, how do i find the google drive id?

[south lily]

when you make the link sharable

[willow marten]

the section after /d/?

[south lily]

yep

[willow marten]

that didn't work, video player says invalid url

[south lily]

send link?

is sharing set to “anyone with the link”?

[willow marten]

yup

[south lily]

actually. it appears to be too big. it needs to be less than 100 mb so it doesnt trip up googles scan file stopper

[willow marten]

i'll try that

that worked on desktop. now to try on my quest

[willow marten]

worked on quest! thanks a lot!

[south lily]

np

[wraith jewel]

Howdy everybody

[unreal garnet]

Hi quest devs. I was wondering if anyone can tell me the best or simplest way to have a working video player in a world that streams a single video file? The videos i found on youtube only seem to say how to do it with sdk2 but I know there's gotta be a better way.. all help appreciated thanks in advance

[spice bloom]

To my understanding, quest can play direct video file links. So if you host the file somewhere you can directly link to the file it'll work for quest.

You might even be able to upload the video to discord and just copy the file link

[unreal garnet]

hmm okay thanks

[unreal garnet]

any idea what shader i should be using? the control panel says realtime emissive gamma is unsupported

[wraith jewel]

Hey I got a question for the devs too

[jagged seal]

Don't forget to enable 'untrusted URL's', though.

(Took me a disturbingly long time to figure that out)

[brazen prism]

even though i ticked that i can't see any videos played

[still bison]

So when is the Avatar dynamics coming to play for quest?

[fair tinsel]

we don't know besides for early 2022

[true hemlock]

Dynamics for Quest will not happen for sure. Too heavy.

[fair tinsel]

it's literally in the announcement post for Avatar Dynamics

[marsh star]

Is there a way to play the open beta on quest 2?

[fair tinsel]

"Oculus

1. Log into Oculus.com
2. Go to the VRChat page in the Store or your Library:
   Oculus PC (Rift CV1 / Rift S): https://www.oculus.com/experiences/rift/997678176960598/
   Oculus Quest: https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/1856672347794301/
3. In Details, click Version, then OpenBeta.
4. Your application will update to the Open Beta!

You can also use the Oculus app on your phone to swap to the OpenBeta branch in the VRChat section in a similar way."

[dense talon]

i have changed to the open beta but avatar dynamics are not working

[sweet tundra]

#open-beta-discussion pinned messages

[wraith jewel]

How do i get in the open beta?

[wraith jewel]

So i got the open beta to test it out and some reason i cant see them movin

[fleet flume]

beta broken

[lusty tendon]

Howso

[wraith jewel]

Only the ones with the new bones move

[spiral haven]

To everyone saying how to open beta u have to go to the oculus app and go to details and click version and switch it to open beta and it should update by itself

Also right now there are only specific characters with bones out only the new characters have bones

[umbral thistle]

Omg. I’m so saaaad. I can’t get out of the Beta even after switching back to Live mode

[wraith pier]

Also make sure you delete the game and reinstall it after changing the version then update it again after installing it

[dreamy elk]

Where do I find the details

[spiral haven]

Go to the search bar and type in vrchat and scroll down to details

[dreamy elk]

It just closes the app and nothing changes

[dreamy elk]

Is it supposed to do that?

[spiral haven]

It isn’t suppose to do that

That’s odd

[wraith jewel]

Hello.

Could anyone help me out with setting up the right environment for vrchat development or just set me up no the right track?

Idk

[spiral haven]

Depends on what u mean???

There are many things

[wraith jewel]

Idk, maybe to start easy with map development for quest2?

[wraith jewel]

Wrong Ping btw

[digital steppe]

hey im trying to add particles to my quest avatar but when i put them in the game i cant see them

[wraith jewel]

Yup, that sounds about right. Did you use a proper shader for them?

[raw rose]

you have to reinstall the game

[fair epoch]

So with quest getting avatar dynamics, will we see an increase in max avatar size like we saw for worlds?

[wraith jewel]

…?

[fair epoch]

Quest max world size used to be 50 mb but was changed to 100 mb a few months ago.

Now that Quest is getting extra features for avatars perhaps we could see the max size be increased from 10 mb to 20 mb

[wraith jewel]

If that is the case so does the documentation upon this should be updated.

[fair tinsel]

Max file size is not being affected by the update and unlikely to ever go up

[fair tinsel]

none of the Avatar Dynamics features are going to meaningfully affect people's file size

[digital steppe]

i dont think i did be cause when i use it the particles are darker than i want

[wraith jewel]

Well, it's either that's the problem, or it's just the quest side of particles being what it is: An absolute mess

[digital steppe]

ok

is there away to make the material not dependent on light?

[wraith jewel]

I couldn't tell you. I've never touched particles

[wraith jewel]

Whoops wrong channel lol

[atomic flower]

Im on the live build of the quest 2 and i appear to sometimes not have my abatar be with my body, like the avatar goes in some kind of desktop mode state and i can see in its head. I jave no idea whats happening but it only started yesterday

[atomic flower]

It appears everytime i swap to a second qvatar it desktop modes my avatar and i dont see myself in mirrors, and expressions shows the stuff of the other avatar and if i hit reset avatar it gives me the right expressions but the avatar stays desktop moded but follows my vision, this is completely repeatable and is still happening even after i reinstalled vrchat, it started after i tryed out the beta build

[wraith jewel]

…..?

[strange glacier]

help please

[lofty thicket]

You need help still

[strange glacier]

someone just helped me

[wraith jewel]

Ugh technical problems on the stupid oculus app on my laptop

[atomic flower]

Someone probably would have to see what i mean in world

It still happens even after reinstalling vrchat, rebooting quest 2, restarting vrchat as well

[wraith jewel]

U didn't download the android module for that unity version so go do that

Download Android target support into the same directory as that unity version

[warm fable]

Hey @primal hill oculus is not responding to vrc

[fair tinsel]

basically the vrchat servers are having problems at the moment

[warm fable]

Oh ok

When will they be working again

[fair tinsel]

no clue

[warm fable]

Ok

Thx for the info

Ok it back up

[gusty spindle]

How do I enable dynamics when I’m in the beta?

[tender aspen]

if you use an older sdk you actually can upload quest avatars past 10mb in size. its not recommended though because only the wearer can see the avatar. other users cannot see it

idk why but older ones didnt enforce the limit

i found out by complete accident and had to end up updating my sdk so it would tell me if i was over 10mb

cuz i want other people to actually see my stuff

[wraith jewel]

Fack

@modest tide @steady pollen

@trail spade @covert cloud

@sharp dew @marsh agate @wraith jewel

There’s so. Many

[tender aspen]

stop stalking

[wraith jewel]

the ben gang

[ebon crypt]

The OSC for quest is buggy also for that world movie and chill needs their movies be 100% like I can barely watch a movie while I’m there

[wraith jewel]

I don’t know why the images on the quest world are getting glitchy and should improve it so it won’t be

[dusty citrus]

Okay, I stupidly want to ask this, why can't quest run unity?

[wraith jewel]

…..

[dusty citrus]

...

Like I said it was stupid

[fair tinsel]

because the quest is basically a cell phone in power level and unity has spent no time making a android-based Unity editor

[dusty citrus]

Aight thanks for the answer :)

[fair tinsel]

if it's helpful the computer to run Unity doesn't need to be powerful enough to run vrchat in VR

[wraith jewel]

Is there a world in Vrchat that doesn’t glitch at all on Quest?

Or at least tell the creators to try to make there worlds glitch free?

[outer raptor]

there's plenty of them. what glitches are you talking about?

[wraith jewel]

For example: in the furry talk and chill, the pictures gets glitchy when moved back from it

It’s like it’s not completely a solid picture

[tender aspen]

gonna bake hair physics into a dance animation and freak out the questies

theyll be so confused lmfao

[sweet tundra]

That’s called floating point imprecision. There’s not much you can actually do about that. The larger a number gets, (such as distance from the camera, and thus depth value) the less precise the number can actually be, which causes z-clipping.

It’d happen on PC too, but more subtlety

[lapis canopy]

is there a way to make the quest see every avatar besides setting them to fallbacks

[half pier]

Nope. Quest can't handle that much so it can't show everything by default

[unreal garnet]

Hi Quest devs. I don't know anything about writing scripts but I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction of how to get a simple driveable cart-type vehicle in my world.. thanks in advance

[hidden blade]

If im right, there are already drivable go karts in some worlds. But, I know literally nothing about development so- Hope you find someone who can help ya.

[glacial gorge]

idk if im in the right section but

does anyone know how to get dynamics on oculus quest 2

[hidden blade]

You're looking for #open-beta-info

[true hemlock]

Quest side is still bugged with broken avatar calibration part.

It works almost half-way in on-off effect. Reported by more users already, my post is on canny but not much votes. I am sure all people on Quest side have problem with this weird bug.

[frail cobalt]

Anyone know when the physbones gonna be public at all

[jagged seal]

I thought it was already public?

[vocal bridge]

It is public you just have to do some shit for quest to access it

[wraith jewel]

Just wait it out…

[wary pewter]

Outta curiosity, what exactly is the reason behind the low poly limit for quest, if I may ask,

[fair tinsel]

because it basically has a cell phone for a graphics processor instead of a gaming PC so it can handle a lot less

https://i.pcmag.com/imagery/articles/02fJG19jOqdWdpeNmooA3IP-21..v1619210740.jpg

https://preview.redd.it/jg4kkiw6mbt51.jpg?auto=webp&s=a228f5f7f21733ac34c7d9d08bffbe29512968e4

[wary pewter]

How would I be able to bypass that or fix the issue?

[outer raptor]

what issue? the quest polygon limit? you can't bypass it. you just need to be more efficient with your topology. bake fine details into normal / occlusion maps.

[wraith jewel]

The polygon limit will not stop you from uploading although it will mark your content Very Poor if it exceeds the appropriate limits

[wary pewter]

Oh so that’s why nobody makes high Polly quest avatars often

[wraith jewel]

People do that plenty often

Many people don't care about optimization in the slightest or even know about that concept

Plenty of mass produced public avatars on Quest are not optimized at all or decimated and atlased like absolute dogshit

[unreal garnet]

I want to be able to drive cars in my vrchat world but I'm getting this error in my console. Anyone ever come across this?

[warm fable]

I have a hacker harassment

Can you help

Plz

[frosty tapir]

Support isn't provided through the discord, instructions on what to do are in #moderation-reports

[warm fable]

Ok thx

[wide crown]

This involves the link canle, ive went through a few cables and they all work for a few days then break. It connects then freezes and disconnects. I hardly move around and i dont pull on the cable, ive switched ports for it nothing works and i need help… (pls ping me if respond)

[wraith jewel]

Might be something with the port itself...? Check to see if your drivers are up to date

[umbral loom]

Some of us don't have the 3D skills, I had to decimate my avatar because I have no idea how to propperly work with Blender

[wraith jewel]

doesnt make the avatars any less dogshit

[steel jungle]

i got a link cable recently and i’m not sure how to work it

could someone help?

[outer raptor]

not really a development question... if you have the link cable, open up the Oculus software on your pc, plug the cable into your fastest usb 3.0 port and the other end into your Oculus, turn on the Oculus and in the notifications menu you should see an option to start the link

[jagged seal]

Just make sure you decline the data sharing permission. 🤦

[marble cradle]

hello, how can you remove the transparent alpha from the textures of a quest version? I know vrc quest doesn't support it, but there must be a solution to fix it upstream. on unity directly or on blender

[fair tinsel]

basically need to cut out the transparent Parts using the knife tool in blender

[marble cradle]

so everything must be done by hand in the uv part of blender?

Is there a way to automate the task? it's going to be SUPER long otherwise 😅

[fair tinsel]

that would be more of the modeling portion of blender to cut the geometry into the shape to where it doesn't need to use the transparencies

[fair tinsel]

nobody has figured out one

[marble cradle]

F***

[marble cradle]

Thanks!!!!

so I'm going to take my head doing everything by hand 😭

[fair tinsel]

and if you're wondering why the no transparency of the mobile chipset of the quest has a harder time with transparencies compared to a gaming PC

[marble cradle]

yes it is that the pixel calculations are run twice. once with color (bugger) then adding transparency, which takes a lot of resources

[pale socket]

Is there any news for when or if quest will get avatar audio? <sorry if this is the wrong place for this>

[sweet tundra]

It's unlikely as the entire audio budget just goes to people

[marsh root]

It’s funny how they keep upgrading pc even though they could be upgrading quest to get to pc level so they can just update them both at the same time

[south lily]

quest has OB rn

[marsh root]

?Optic bones?

[marsh root]

Idk if that’s what you mean or not

[tough egret]

Is there a way to change hair color while keeping the avatar under the "Good" Quest rating?

• If I use the color menu with 1 material, the whole avatar changes color.
• Making the hair a separate material puts the avatar in Medium rating - no good for fallback

[south lily]

try an atlas. so youd have like 2 copies of the colored textures side by side in one image, and youd switch between using the offset of the material and setting the tiling to 0.5 or 2 so the textures fit again

then use a bool to animation/toggle

[cedar sleet]

Could somebody help I'm trying to switch my vrc target to android, but it won't let me and I dont know where to find an android sdk for it.

[wraith jewel]

There should be one on the official website

[outer raptor]

if it won't let you switch the build to Android, you probably haven't installed the Android module for Unity. it's not a vrcsdk thing

[frail cobalt]

they really need to add a way to give quest shaders

[wraith jewel]

Just get creative with matcaps. You can do a lot with them

Although I still understand wanting more options

[west basin]

Is it alright if someone can make the five nights at treasure island 2020 pvp map please

[wraith jewel]

This isn’t the place for that kind of talk. If you want to commission someone to make that world, there’s a separate server that can help with just that

[autumn radish]

Just in case anyone needs it, I made an optimized avatar test world; The only other one I could find was pretty badly optimized and lagged out Quest when the mirror was on, so I made something a little more performant: https://vrchat.com/home/launch?worldId=wrld_7454e0ef-0dcc-469b-bf2f-dcdd65cc7766

Has 2 mirrors & four chairs, for testing with other avatars.

[bitter tiger]

get the android builder

should have been there when first installed like you could have checked it

[rain holly]

I don't develop for Quest... but I'd like to know, will the limitations perhaps loosen up a bit with the Quest 2 or otherwise?

None of my avatars or worlds are for quest, and it's hard to compromise for it.

I really want to show my friend on his Quest 2 what I'm working on, but.... I'd have to downgrade like, everything.

And give up my custom shaders on my characters (even though they're actually quite efficient)

[half pier]

Shaders will most likely never be unlocked. The quest simply cannot handle certain shader features

[wraith jewel]

If the limits were raised any higher, headsets would fry

Doesn't help that most folks don't optimize quest content, anyway

...'cept me

[rain holly]

I guess they're kinda weak, the biggest downside to me is the 10k triangle limit.

[wraith jewel]

Is it not still 20k...?

[rain holly]

I CAN optimize, I've been a game dev for 15 years, I just don't want to go that far. X3

It's hard to do and too much work lol

Heck even getting myself down to 4 materials for desktop seems hard with my characters, can't atlas my hair texture due to how it uses UVs...

[half pier]

If you're actually a game dev you'd understand why these limits are in place and have no problem abiding by them. They aren't arbitrary

[rain holly]

I know they're not arbitrary. I was asking if the quest 2 was more powerful and if they were gonna loosen up.

[fair tinsel]

the Avatar limits have already been loosened up by the quest 2

[rain holly]

Ah, good. That's what I wanted to know. X3

[fair tinsel]

like you used to only be able to use half the amount of triangles on the quest

but they're unlikely to get any looser

[rain holly]

I made my own engine in C++ with a few graphics and physics APIs on PC when I was 17 back in 2010. I also made a small rendering engine on the Wii back then.

[half pier]

So did you notice how much optimization was needed on Wii?

[rain holly]

Naw, I had no idea. >.>

[half pier]

Well think of a Quest as a worse Wii

[rain holly]

Gosh golly I have no idea how to manage Hollywood's 24mb SRAM >.>

1mb texture cache lol

512 x 512 textures were too much for it at times, unless you compressed it to hell with some palletization and such.

But ah, if the Quest 2 is better, I might be able to work with it. It's hard to push my current avi under 40k tho. X3

[half pier]

Yeah so Quest of course isn't that bad but it also has its limits

[rain holly]

Every machine has limits.

[half pier]

Then you gotta abide by them or suffer the fps

[rain holly]

Triangle counts are just less of a big deal nowadays, so I was being a bit too optimistic.

[half pier]

Triangle counts matter a lot actually

[fair tinsel]

and it also probably helps if you model with the Quest mind in the first place so you don't put like any stuff that's going to be hard to deal with for the quest version like transparencies

[rain holly]

I mean yeah you're telling me something I already know lol

Well transparency has always been an issue in 3D forever.

[fair tinsel]

it's a mobile chipset and it's having to render at a high resolution and framerate

[rain holly]

Oh yeah it has to render hires because otherwise you get sick

I know vr sickness all too well, it's the only reason I don't play vrchat as much. But I'll overcome it this time....

[wraith jewel]

Fan helps a lot

[rain holly]

Thing is most quest users are kids and I tend to avoid them.

[half pier]

They have comfort options added now

[rain holly]

But my friend also has a quest 2 and he wants to see my avis but oof it's gonna be hard to make a quest version

[half pier]

You don't have to optimize it to Quest, but if you upload it as it it will kill their FPS

[fair tinsel]

https://github.com/absolute-quantum/cats-blender-plugin/wiki/Bake I suppose you could try this

[rain holly]

automatic decimation?

[wraith jewel]

Ah, the tried and true

[rain holly]

bad idea... that would kill the topology flow

[wraith jewel]

The decimation sucks mako

The bake option, though on the other hand…

[fair tinsel]

of course just brought it up in case you didn't want to put in the full effort to do a proper Edge Loop dissolving

[rain holly]

I might just go over my avatar with a full reconstruction of her geometry and then like, bake the details into the new one

Wait, so, it doesn't refuse to show my avatar on quest, and it's just slow?

[wraith jewel]

Yup. But if it’s high on…everything, then it won’t be worth it

[rain holly]

He just wants to see me in VR really

[fair tinsel]

so if you can't get to the quest limits at least try to get as low as you can

[rain holly]

42k triangle, a relatively efficient shader (well, more efficient than Unity's "standard" shader, that channel packing makes NO SENSE)

[fair tinsel]

you can only use the vrchat provided shaders for the quest

[rain holly]

huh... well, that's pretty lame. X3

thanks for the infos tho~

[fair tinsel]

basically if you let user-uploaded shaders on the quest avatars everyone's Quest would burst into flames

[wraith jewel]

You can do a lot with matcaps, though

[fair tinsel]

because everybody would try to load up like absolutely non-mobile compatible shaders because they don't know any better

[rain holly]

Well, yeah, sturgeon's law means everyone would make terribly unoptimized things

Second Life has that exact problem lol....

[wraith jewel]

I haven’t. Only reason some of mine are marked as poor is solely due to poly count

[fair tinsel]

yeah some of the stuff I've seen on sl is absolutely terrifying

[rain holly]

500k triangle jewelery

[wraith jewel]

Haven’t even looked into SL. Heard of it, that’s it

Good Gondor!

[fair tinsel]

basically nobody understands the concept of view distance as far as detail on Second Life because you can zoom the camera to be like very far away and also like jewelry commercial close to someone's hand

[rain holly]

It does support LODs but it trusts the user to provide them

[fair tinsel]

and apparently like there's some problems with the Avatar LOD code that basically makes it useless

[rain holly]

yep

I quit SL because of the community I knew and loved backstabbing me and went to vrchat, is a nicer place for the most part

rules are a bit more strict, but otherwise very chill

I'm glad they're enforcing limits, don't get me wrong. X3

[wraith jewel]

Yup, that’s what a friend of mine said. Was with a firefighter group and ditched them to make SW worlds here

[rain holly]

Well, let's just say my old friends were hypocritical people that didn't like my art despite making similar things, and cared more about their reputation than anything. And now on vrchat most of my content is private. X3

The few people who do get to see what I create tend to be impressed though. It's really flattering. X3

I feel more free here.

Also it's nice to have a modern graphics pipeline in a game engine I'm familiar with rather than that 2003 with new stuff duct taped on nonsense that is second life

[fair tinsel]

yeah can definitely think of some categories of avatars that look so much nicer in vrchat

because of more modern Shader usage

[rain holly]

I already had shaders I made for my games I work on in Unity, so I use them in vrchat too

problem is there's no way to drive my eye shader with VRchat's look system, I don't want to make it bone-based oof >.>

[fair tinsel]

cool

[rain holly]

Sometimes I even port places from my games too.. well, the ones that are in a more usable state. I hardly ever make a finished place due to how my projects are all still experimental and often don't get that far....

So, ah, what are the limits on worlds with custom shaders for quest?

Also only the internal ones?

[fair tinsel]

no you can use custom shaders on World's just be careful because it's a mobile phone basically

so do not try to run vrchat Ray tracing demos on it

and also transparencies be expensive

[rain holly]

lol

naw most of my custom shaders are when I port places from old games and want to imitate the graphics of the old game

like sonic adventure... technically my Mystic Ruins port might be quest compatible actually

[fair tinsel]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/quest-content-optimization#shaders

[rain holly]

ah, thanks ^_^

[fair tinsel]

glad to be of help

[rain holly]

Ah, 50mb limit for world size? sounds fun~

I always find limits like that push my creativity

[fair tinsel]

they recently increased it to 100 MB

[rain holly]

Ah, nice

[fair tinsel]

and a chunk of it will get eaten up by your baked lighting

[rain holly]

I try to aim under that usually, though my main home world ended up getting to 120....

But ah, it has an apartment, a convenience store, and a spooky sewer area

[fair tinsel]

have you done any texture compression

[rain holly]

Yep

As much as I feel comfy with X3

I'm remaking it from the ground up currently

[fair tinsel]

maybe you could lower the texture resolution on like the metal and smoothness map

[rain holly]

It's a shame it can never be public~

My metalness/smoothness are on the red and blue channels of my "WoofStandard" shader's "mask" map. I think green was occlusion....

So even more saved space

[fair tinsel]

very nice

mostly just crossed my mind to suggest that as breath of the wild goes with lower-resolution material Maps compared to the color

[rain holly]

yee botw definitely does cool stuff with materials

hey can I DM you...?

[fair tinsel]

yes

[half pier]

Oh my 👀

[keen rock]

i love standard lite! i love standard lite!

[nimble heart]

hi, i want to make a quest version of my world, the docs seem to be a little outdated and there isnt much information about world limitations. Ive heard people say that video players are not supported but dont see anything mentioned about it on the docs.
Do i need to remove any video players?
Also the docs mention a 50mb world size limit but didnt a recent vrchat update list in the patch notes that its now a 100mb?
And are there any other things i need to take into consideration? Thanks for the help!

[wide holly]

video players can work, it heavily depends on the file format the quest will play

and yes, the world upload limit is 100mb now

other considerations.. you cannot use grabpass
shaders, avoid cutout and transparent shaders as much as you can (they melt your frames quickly)

[placid egret]

Question, does anyone know what would cause specific surfaces to flicker at a distance in Quest? I have a few textures that seem to glitch and flicker i you aren't like 5 ft away from them in my world. Not all surfaces do it, just a few

[half pier]

That's called Z Fighting. It happens if you have two surfaces very near each other. It can happen on PC too but it's more frequent on Quest. Is there a surface beneath these walls that are flickering?

[modern stag]

Try reducing the far clip plane on the player camera and increasing the near clip plane. It will increase z buffer precession. The quest has an issue with this. Being closer to the world center also helps!

[rich fossil]

Can someone help me with textures for my avatar, it's a spiderman avatar I created for vrchat and uploaded it to pc, and now I'm trying to port it to quest, the only problem is I don't know how to get a similar or same metallic type reflection or even a mirror for the lens, can someone help me with this?

[turbid cairn]

Anyone know/have the dartboard prefab?

[placid egret]

What would you say are the optimal clipping distances for quest?

[modern stag]

I think far value, whatever you can have as the minimum distance. So in a world that I work on, I set it to just over the other side of the room wall. This is the farthest distance that I can see in this world.
As for the near value it gets clamped between 0.01 and 0.05 so choose 0.05 😄

[orchid estuary]

is there a chance it could work for android users?

(super late but i just found out about it haha)

[placid egret]

Is there a way to reduce lag on huds that follow players on quest?

[south lily]

are you using a screenspace canvas?

[placid egret]

The original hud I based it off of seems to use worldspace. I'm fairly new to Huds specificially

[primal wolf]

Yes, but I heard Google ARCore is shit compared to Apple ARKit.

[orchid estuary]

Ah i see, that's fair

[wraith jewel]

Is there anything better than Android that will work on the next VR headset?

[wraith jewel]

The OS is chosen by the creators. You could go the route of making your own OS, but for the time now, your best option will be the Linux based Android.

Android is more efficient than any other OS in the idea of support for developers, and battery life.

And unless you plan on strapping a whole GPU and CPU to someone's noggin, you are better off using the ARM OS anyways.

[wraith jewel]

I wish Android upgrade the graphics more so it will be smoother on Quest or at least Quest version of Vrchat should update in graphics

[fair tinsel]

changing the operating system won't make the graphics any better

as that would be entirely on like the the CPU and GPU as far as how much Graphics the headset can handle

[wraith jewel]

In vrchat on Quest, you can’t see PC avatars and can’t go to worlds that is pc only

Too much polygons I guess

[outer raptor]

yes, that is because PC worlds are compiled on different hardware and have different optimization standards

polygons are part of it, but a lot of it boils down to shaders / draw calls

most PC worlds would melt a quest either because they are too complex or too poorly optimized. you have to know what you're doing to make a reasonably complex quest world so that you can leverage atlasing, instancing, occlusion culling, etc etc

[wraith jewel]

Well to be honest there’s a lot of crashes and I usually get a green screen as well

This is why Quest is sometimes feel like it’s just a gaming console than a PC

[outer raptor]

i mean, it is just a gaming console. if it's crashing outside of VRchat, you probably have a hardware fault. if it's mostly happening in VRchat, then you're likely pushing the hardware beyond its limits. try adjusting your safety settings to not show avatars or specific avatar features for non-trusted users, or people who aren't your friends

[wraith jewel]

I don’t like the fallback(basic)avatars and also don’t like the robots when you hide avatars (which I do with fallbacks)

[outer raptor]

sounds like you need to get a PC then

[wraith jewel]

That’s the whole problem, I don’t have a gaming PC because there expensive

I‘ll plan on getting one soon

[outer raptor]

yeah, they definitely are. it's unfortunate but quest hardware, because of its form factor, can only do so much. if you want AAA level graphics you need more serious hardware, and the quest can't do that with just a teeny little snapdragon chip running on a battery

[wraith jewel]

Is there anything for IPad?

For communication

[outer raptor]

i have no idea.

[wraith jewel]

It’s all I have

[outer raptor]

there are services in early alpha that will stream cloud-hosted games to a quest. but they cost money of course. https://www.plutosphere.com/

[wraith jewel]

Anything for free?

[outer raptor]

no.

[wraith jewel]

Anyways, I don’t want to see robots and fallbacks just nothing

Or those crystal things

I always hide avatars when I see those fallbacks and see robots instead (which I don’t like that much)

[wraith jewel]

What even is this...?

[outer raptor]

it's an IP logger. he's a spammer.

[patent coral]

and nobody tagged staff why? <@&397642795457970181>

its in multiple channels

[maiden tundra]

maybe i should ask here why its only.on quest sobody know why a keypad dont working only not on quest ? pressing on the nummbers but thay not showng up on the text field and also iven pressing the button stil dont work why only on quest ?

[wraith jewel]

I...what?

[half pier]

It's because you need to be able to use the english language properly before it works

[maiden tundra]

@half pier thats not helpfull and only why you know good english thats not mean eny think and be rude to atheres make nothink better.if you cant help late it befor geting rude to atheres have nice day

[light jackal]

I am a bit confused about worldspace canvas. I do understand that I need to use them instead of screenspace. But how do i make them behave like the screenspace one. I need a 2d sprite that stays onscreen like a hud (or a tv logo). Any help or link to resources would be greatly appreciated

[patent coral]

its not being rude (although they couldve said it better) its just that we cannot understand what you're asking

[maiden tundra]

yea but you can say that

mast not be that way

[south lily]

i dont think we understand still

[maiden tundra]

nvm sobody allready told me so np

[wraith jewel]

Will the avatar dynamics update change the game on Quest 2 so that it does multi core processing? And will there be changes to the Avatar SDK?

Um...probably not, and most likely

[south lily]

it already technically is multicore. the sdk is changed in OB so yes

[wraith jewel]

Can I ask here about pcvr questions?

[spice bloom]

That depends on if you're using a quest for it or not id assume?

[wraith jewel]

I am using a quest 2

I just don't know where to ask

My link cable stopped working in a port awhile ago so I unplugged it and moved it to another and I accidentally unplugged my wifi adapter so I plugged it back in and wifi is working just fine using it like normal with games on it but when I plug my link cable in my headset wifi on my computer goes out

[wraith jewel]

Are you trying to view them via the headset?

Try looking in the DCIM folder when connected to the computer.

They’d actually be in the same place as the others, under oculus/screenshot

…I think

[fair tinsel]

[hidden crescent]

for worlds to be synced correctly across platforms do all objects have to have the exact same properties and xyz positions or is it just the path of all the objects that need to be the same

[hidden crescent]

like if i move the positions of some lights is that fine

[outer raptor]

yeah. for syncing, what matters is the order in the scene hierarchy. you can change other properties.

[cyan radish]

If I want to publish a world to Quest and PC, should I upload it with the build target as Android first?

[outer raptor]

it doesn't matter

[viscid swift]

why live streams on quest are upside down on video player?

[south lily]

avpro weird, requires custom shader

[viscid swift]

is there way to fix that?

[south lily]

shader

[viscid swift]

and where i can get that

or i can just make button to rotate the screen?

[south lily]

this should work

[viscid swift]

ty ill try this

[cursive crest]

how can I make a texture animate on quest?

[viscid swift]

tried it but seems doesnt work
just black screen or i did smth wrong?

[south lily]

make sure its calling the right shader property in thr avpro component

[viscid swift]

like this?

[south lily]

um no

avpro

ive never seen such a script

[modern stag]

Poiyomi has a flip book option for gifs. I am unsure if it will work on the quest however 😅

[cursive crest]

you can't use custom shaders on quest, at least not without a modified SDK which violates TOS

[south lily]

on avatars

[cursive crest]

and I'm trying to animate a texture on an avatar

[south lily]

youd use offset

so when a texture is in a material. you can use offset to change a frame of a gif or such via animation

[cursive crest]

ah

alright

[south lily]

a slightly cleaner method is using a mesh particle if its a imag animation as particles allow you to use sprite sheets which will automatically animate thru it

[cursive crest]

its a gif

how would I offset the frames? the only offset I see is to change the offset of a singular image on the UV map

[south lily]

theres a few sprite sheet generators online

[south lily]

this is correct

[cursive crest]

so I have to make a sprite sheet and offset on a per frame basis?

[south lily]

yes

[cursive crest]

darn, that stinks

if only it supported flipbook textures like mochie or poiyomi

[south lily]

ok. to be real. I don’t know if theres a canny for it but if bot. there should be for whitelisting very specific shader functions. but this being said. this could also mess with things outside of avatars

[cursive crest]

I also feel like shader devs should be able to submit their custom shaders to be reviewed and given a custom flag or something to be allowed use in VRChat on quest should they qualify for the desired requirements

[south lily]

right. but as of right now. all quest avatar shaders are baked in. which is why additive no longer works correctly unless your avatar is old enough to overule the baked in params that the game it looking for

in theory. this should all work at the end of the day with documentation. but does not exist or is talked about

[cursive crest]

I hate that making avatars for quest is so stupidly tedious, it sometimes makes me want to just not make the avatar work on quest, but then like 90% of people cant see it and then I dont want to use it

[fair tinsel]

probably helps if your model with the quest in mind first

[cursive crest]

won't help too much in this case

what I am doing is putting my logo on the avatar, on PC it spins and looks cool but on quest it doesnt

and I'd need to use the sprite sheet along with a meticulously made offset animation for each frame of it just to make it spin

and then there is just how unoptimized the game feels, especially on quest where it still lacks in performance even though they cut every corner possible, at least visually. its just not a fun process right now

[fair tinsel]

only so much that can be squeezed out of a mobile processor

[cursive crest]

I get that, but at the same time I feel there is more that could be squeezed, especially when some of the content limitations are outright bs, like, no audio sources on avatars? really?

[outer raptor]

audio sources take a bit of CPU to process, and you already have one spatial source by default for every single character

[cursive crest]

then there are particle limiters which, are justified, but they still have not given us the limits they set, on the restrictions page (which was last updated ~10 months ago) it still says "the numbers will be given soon" so optimizing stuff like 3D particles is painful

[outer raptor]

i'm sure some of these things could be smoothed out eventually, but the vast majority of quest avatars are terribly optimized and the vrchat team has to set guidelines based on the worst case scenario

yeah the docs definitely need to be updated to reflect recent changes

[cursive crest]

I get VRChat on the quest was a no brainer, but dang is it ever annoying, if the quest is that weak then it really feels like its not ready for VRChat

[outer raptor]

the quest isn't that weak but most of the content is user-submitted, and most users that submit content have no idea what they're doing

just cobble together a bunch of e-boy bits and bobs and jam them onto an overloaded avatar with a million toggles

or make a world with 30 materials where you could get away with 3

[cursive crest]

I really hope when the quest 3 comes out, its restrictions are not as strict, such as allowing things like post processing, since bloom is a game changer

[fair tinsel]

no that's not going to happen because it would still be a mobile rendering pipeline which doesn't do post-processing good

[south lily]

pp would have to be replaced with something entirely different to even work

[outer raptor]

the great thing about vrchat, and also the bad thing about vrchat, is that it's more or less just raw unity engine instead of paint-by-numbers. so this means that you can make pretty much whatever you want if you know what you're doing. but most people are not going to know what they're doing.

[cursive crest]

maybe one day VRC can have a custom pp engine or something, because stuff like the lack of bloom, and custom shaders (and various other limits) both keep me from ever using that version and make me not want to make stuff for it

[south lily]

bloom is not recommended for double rendering or vr at the same time. thats what actually hulted me from making a quest bloom shader was basically the actual desire of the userbase

but as i said, with the baked in shader props and params, in theory extra things can be lifted. but the cpu and fillrate bottleneck is still prominent

[cursive crest]

there are so many things that probably arent even possible that I wish existed, like being able to use one mesh renderer for multiple objects, would help me out a crap ton

[south lily]

this is recommended

like, just in general

cus bones take less efort than blendshapes most of the time

[cursive crest]

I just wish I could have all of my toggles use one mesh renderer, which I'm sure is impossible (and I have a much needed optimized version of this avatar for that reason) but man if I could cut back on that I would be able to take my avatar out from being "very poor" at least on PC

[south lily]

but imo, a overhaul on the safety system would be nice, such as a mesh count limit for the local user and such. so if an avatar has like 50 meshes that all total up to 50k poly. if only 1 mesh is shown and its below 20k, then it should be shown, but if the player isnt completly shown, any additional toggle meshes will not be shown

[cursive crest]

that too, since most of my toggles never add anything, as much as they do replace something that was there with the same object else where

most of the time my "visible poly count" should stays the same

maybe a thing for visible mesh renderers too, that would help a lot

[normal cobalt]

Hi, so i have a a webserver at home that i use to play videos for quest in mp4 format that normaly works. When i test the world in unity it plays the clip but in vrchat it is just black (untrusted urls are enabled). My server has no dns name its just my public ip with video (http://ip/output.mp4). I dont see the problem why it shouldn't play. Is there any solution for that?

[vale sierra]

how are you testing in unity?

[normal cobalt]

switch to android build and just run it in unity

[vale sierra]

I mean, are you using the default unity video player component? or the vrc video player component

[normal cobalt]

yes

when i use another url it works

https://test-videos.co.uk/vids/bigbuckbunny/mp4/h264/1080/Big_Buck_Bunny_1080_10s_1MB.mp4

like this one

[vale sierra]

you might need to have a https end point

quest disallows insecure requests

[fathom kestrel]

Hello, I need help, please, does anyone know why when I teleport my player, it takes me to another part that is higher than where the position that he has to reach is 😢

It's like there is an invisible collider, I already checked it and there is nothing 😢

and the position is here

[half pier]

Yeah, there is a sphere collider on that

[fathom kestrel]

@half pier nop

all Components is disable

literally all the components are empty it's like an empty object

[half pier]

What's that sphere in that picture then?

[fathom kestrel]

I already tried in many ways and it throws the character to another position 😢

obviously the gizmos of the collider will be reflected but it is deactivated

[half pier]

Maybe make sure there's enough room for them to be teleported there

[fathom kestrel]

look this+

and when teleporting it is like there are invisible walls of the map reflected

[dull veldt]

Hey folks, is render to texture compatible with quest users?

[south lily]

i wanna say yes but whenever ive used them. sometimes pixels are missing or offset weird

[dull veldt]

Thanks for the info! I don't have a quest and really appreciate the info. Looks like I'll have to keep them for non-critical info displays then. Cheers!

[normal cobalt]

hello, so i have a webserver with videos mp4 format. I asked before why my videos dont'y play on quest it was of the http connection. So i made it https and now it don't play at all when you play it in the browser it plays the video normaly. so what could be the problem?

[half pier]

Make sure you have "Allow Untrusted URLs" on in the settings

[slim ledge]

Is there a way to make a transparent texture such as glass with the vrchat mobile quest shaders?

Such as this glass door here I have

[wraith jewel]

I need help making a vr chat world....I can't get it to build and test. it is saying Im not using the recommended Unity version for the VRChat SDK.

[fair tinsel]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/current-unity-version

you have to use the correct Unity version or it doesn't work

[wraith jewel]

how do you check if you are because I thought I made sure it was unity 2019

[fair tinsel]

there are multiple Unity 2019

the link I posted has a link to install the correct version

[wraith jewel]

ok thank you

[wraith jewel]

I managed to fix the Unity problem and now when I try to start up build and test vrchat just says disconnected, failed to authenticate with realtime servers

[surreal meteor]

can anyone link the android thing so you can make quest worlds cant seem to find it

[umbral loom]

It's a module, you need to install it on hub, or look for the android module online. open it while unity is open

[rocky oak]

Hey I know prob nobody is online, but is there a way that you can stream the oculus vrc to your phone and play on your phone??

idk how to say it, steam link i guess??

but with oculus

[fair tinsel]

how would you even control the game from the phone as the VR controllers are the only input mechanism

[rocky oak]

do it like the switch, use a bluetooth connection idk

just a random thought

[fair tinsel]

But to answer your question no that's not possible

[rocky oak]

K

[rocky oak]

uh I know the majority of quest user probably asked this:
Does the VRc team have plans to make it so we can:
Record on quest using the VRC camera
Have avatars load up as their original avatars and not a fallback
sorry if this annoys people

[fair tinsel]

the second one can't really be fixed if you're seeing fall back either it's a pc-only avatar so there's literally nothing to load on the quest or a very poor Avatar which would make you lag if you loaded it

[stiff geyser]

anyone know how to scroll throug the debug menu for avatars on quest i cant figure it out

[wraith jewel]

Pretty sure the answer to both of those questions is no, due to performance reasons

I got a question me n my friends are making are making a vrchat world so people can send him pictures of there sonic avatar moments and he will upload it to the world can someone who makes worlds help us we are in VC it's just a wall that he will upload pictures like this

[fresh beacon]

Are there any quest friendly shaders that allow me to show any sort of transparency? I need a shader to put on a text UI that doesn't make it look like blocks. Please msg me or reply to this msg @ ing me

[tough egret]

no transparency on Quest shaders for avatars

[fresh beacon]

its for a world

[tough egret]

I haven't seen any custom shaders that are optimized for Quest. From the documentation, seems like any shader would work as long as you keep transparencies to a minimum or not use them at all

[fresh beacon]

ok thanks but do they expect world creators to design around text being shown in their worlds? that seems odd to me. only way i see using text without a transparent shader is by using pictures of the text or 3d models which is a lot more space.

[tough egret]

its a trade-off, yes. You either use a pic with no transparency or model all the letters

[fresh beacon]

gross, thank you that helps a lot

[south lily]

filamented shader might help

anyone make worlds

Thank u and now I see a better explanation of it I get it more and under

[torpid isle]

just want to confirm something. for an avatar to be usable as a fallback it needs to score good on quest meaning <=10k polys etc right?

[fair tinsel]

yes for the quest version of the fallback Avatar

[torpid isle]

ok thanks a lot!

the PC version of the fallback Avatar just needs to be PC good but probably easier just to have the Quest version uploaded for both

is there any way to import only the physics bones update files?

[fair tinsel]

nope you have to import the whole new SDK

[arctic swan]

I would even import the new sdk but I'm afraid of ruining my project hahaha

[fair tinsel]

you're not going to mess up your project

[south lily]

make new project and put old models in

[spice bloom]

Just backup your project Incase you have an issue and need to restart the upgrade process

[arctic swan]

Maybe thats the only way
But a package only with the physic bone would be helpful
I'm saying that because I want update my quest avatars and I don't want rebuild everything hahaha

[fair tinsel]

that's not how vrchat updates work

[spice bloom]

It need more than just the physbones scripts. It needs whole other packages to support it.

And there where a few other fixes in there and interactions with other parts of the avatar API. There is no way to seperate them out. Your just gonna have to upgrade it.

[arctic swan]

I understand
Probably we would need put the osc files in the package too

[spice bloom]

You don't have to rebuild everything though. Just go through the upgrade steps and you'll still have everything there?

I've made some tests with the physics dynamics and there is two things I was expecting

I was expecting being able to hold two bones with my both hands but as I can see you can only hold one bone

Idk if It will be add eventually but thats one thing I was wondering being able to do

[full dust]

@slow girder hey sorry for the ping but I think I have suggestion that could change vrchat for quest possibly forever, (sure you just came out with a big project and you guys need some time to relax I get it) my suggestion is that quest players are able to access PC Worlds and PC avatars but they'll get a warning saying that "this could cause some lag it can also have missing parts texture or sounds and there's a possible chance that it could crash are you sure you want to continue with this" and then they'll even have the option to not go with the changing or going into the world or they could accept it and have possible chances of crashing or lag but this could open up a lot of players and a lot of stuff it could take some time to code for it to work and everything all that kind of stuff but it could be a game changer for Quest players. what do you think?

[south lily]

canny

[slow girder]

Please don't ping staff! Since I'm here, it's worth mentioning that your suggestion isn't possible even if we wanted to

[spice bloom]

That's not at all how quest works

[slow girder]

PC and Quest assets are entirely different, it's like trying to run a PC application on a phone

[spice bloom]

They are literally different format packages. Quest can't read pc avatars or world's as they are encoded different

Yea what Aev said

[south lily]

dvd in vhs player

[spice bloom]

It's like saying:
Her I have a way to revolutionize cars: why don't we put diesel into petrol cars. It'll save us all so much money!

[south lily]

it feels more like “lets makes ipod, but on wrist and take away features that would make most sence”

ie: vhs tape in dvd player moment

[arctic swan]

pc and quest must live in peace

[unreal garnet]

can anyone please tell me how to easily create a toggle button in my world that will change the skybox (rotate 3 even?) do i need to use udon to do this or a c# script?

[spice bloom]

#udon-general would be your go to. It's not a quest specific answer.

I'm just stating the facts

[wraith jewel]

So I don’t know if this is where I ask this but what do I do about falling through my map

[south lily]

add collider under spawn

[placid egret]

I changed build targets and now some of the materials I have that have a smoothness and metallic value have a wierd white silver layer on them

[opal fractal]

how are you supposed to make transparent blush layers work on quest? it works on every popular rusk avatar ive seen but I can't figure out how to do it on mine. the alpha blended shader is still blocked of course and the other particles just dont seem to appear at all

looking it up only got me to sdk modding which obviously not gonna do but i dont think that even exists for 3.0 so how are other people doing it...!
