avatar-quest

[abstract swallow]

you've been asking for over a month or two and seems like you haven't gone anywhere

you can't really without using cutout or some sort of transparency. It'd be the most efficient way, the other way involves actually modeling that hair out with polys but that can quickly get out of control with the amount of polys you'd need for that. So either that or stick with a "clay like hair"

something like this

no cutout/transparent hair cards

[jagged sequoia]

also I would note that someone logging into someone else's account to upload avatars is against terms of service so there's not literally any legal way to get an avatar without a computer

[final arch]

I wanna make an avatar so badly but I don’t have a pc and I’m suck 😭

[exotic sail]

im trying to make like a more cartoony model

does anyone have like a good-ish base or somewhere they could direct me? my character has like adventure time looks

[inner belfry]

I need help I uploaded a avatar it’s saying it’s not for quest and it keeps t posing

[hot pebble]

#avatar-search-old

[hot pebble]

@exotic sail
(Accidentally replied with no ping lul)

[exotic sail]

No I need like, a base

To make one

[hot pebble]

I mean
Same place?
Just ask is there a base of what your lookin for

[rugged oyster]

I bet you, nobody will make me an avatar like always

[jagged sequoia]

yeah so why do you keep asking

[final arch]

is it possible to make avatars with out pc?

[nimble prairie]

You can make really shitty ones

With some website but not a lot of customization

[hushed ibex]

Hi, i've asked many times but never got an answer, how do people make transparent shaders on quest?
I've seen that quest avi girl with this glass jar helmet, filled with water, and it was transparent for questies too

[late silo]

Modded sdk
in other words they break rules for custom shaders

[hushed ibex]

nope apparently they used simple vrc mobile shaders but they inverted the faces

[late silo]

You asked how to get transparency I still answered correctly lol inverted faces isn't technically transparent 🤷‍♂️

[abstract swallow]

ohhh thats clever

yes jake is right, that is using inverted faces, no actual transparency

and it looks like they uv mapped a "water" texture to give the impression of water

that is a perfect example of some clever artistry, and whoever did that also understand rendering very well

[potent sage]

Indeed, Inverted normals is a great way for fake transparency on Quest, done right and it can look really good.

[abstract swallow]

inverted hulls can be used to do outlines as well

classic old school way of doing them

[tulip dagger]

"transparency" without the performance impact

[hushed ibex]

well i tried the inveted face for my slime girl but i wasnt happy with the result

especially in the face, seeing inside the head was horrible

so i simply used matcap but now she look like a metal slime girl

any idea on how to make something closer to the pc version (on the right)

[jagged sequoia]

put your goo Shader material on a sphere so you could take a picture of it to turn into a matcap

[hushed ibex]

the problem is if i do this all the body will have only one color (that matcap) no more darker hair and ears, nor melted feets

i could assign different material for hair and ears ig

[jagged sequoia]

you could set your Goo Shader on the sphere to just be Gray

as mainly you're just trying to capture the specular highlights

and the rim lighting

[hushed ibex]

it will look like that matcap i made already, no?

[pastel storm]

Really nicely done 😎

[jagged sequoia]

it would look different

https://observablehq.com/@makio135/matcaps?ui=classic

a big collection of matcap you could try

[hushed ibex]

i will take a look thank you

[abstract swallow]

I suppose you could also just

paint in the specular highlights and some of those details

obviously that means it won't move but it would help give the impression of it

[jagged sequoia]

modifying one of the matcap to try to match the goo Shader? @hushed ibex wonder if this might work any better

[hushed ibex]

nah i don't want to spend hours on this, i'll just use matcaps for that library you linked me thank you

[jagged sequoia]

not sure how that would be hours to try the one I quickly threw together?

[hushed ibex]

i'll look for a good one and use photoshop to change the taint

sorry my english is bad i didn't get what u meant, i will try it thank you

not very convincing

[jagged sequoia]

going to be a bit tricky to get it to look quite right since your base texture might require some modifying as you cannot have specular highlights show up if the base color of the madcap is white

[hushed ibex]

well i'm pc anyway, so i don't really mind if my quest version is not perfect

[abstract swallow]

I think its important to mention also (just in case) that you won't get the quest version to match 1:1 with the PC

[hushed ibex]

yes i just wanted to try to achieve something close without putting to much effort in it tbh

[jagged sequoia]

saw this one in the library wonder if it might work okay?

[abstract swallow]

it doesn't have a strong rim

her PC counterpart has a strong rim light

[jagged sequoia]

yeah I was just kind of why I tried modifying the one I posted earlier to have the rim

but I suppose I needed to make it even stronger giving it hardly showed up in the Unity screenshot

[hushed ibex]

its not bad i guess

[hushed ibex]

yup i tried this one, thats my better result so far

just need to change the tint with photoshop

[abstract swallow]

tint*

[jagged sequoia]

glad you found something that'll work for the moment

[abstract swallow]

pretty good resource you linked @jagged sequoia

[hushed ibex]

still look more metallic than the pc one but its better i think

[jagged sequoia]

and I might suggest also brightening up your base color texture of a quest version so that when it gets multiplied with the matcap it doesn't get too dark

[abstract swallow]

I suppose brightening the matcap would help with that as well

[jagged sequoia]

there's only so bright you can make the matcap before you eat the specular highlights

[abstract swallow]

true

[hushed ibex]

thank you very much to both of you

[jagged sequoia]

glad to be of help

[hushed ibex]

im pretty happy with the result, thank you so much guys

[junior quiver]

That looks very damn cool

[toxic sentinel]

Yo why is physbone just ...broken on quest?

My bones were working fine and now quest users complain they aren't

[hot pebble]

My bones work fine??

Seems like a you issue on the physbones im guessing

[toxic sentinel]

Was told by another user , that upload was limited to 12 on quest (transforms not bones) since yesterday. Avatars not updated are not affected. Can confirm I did an update yesterday on quest , quest user complains my bones are only on two places on my body while I had them on multiple/more.then two under the quest limits

Was also complaining of the same thing on PC but cannot confirm since I havent updated pc since yesterday

Seems to be unity side not vrchat side since vrchat doest have such problems with my physbone unless I upsdte

So aka no Its not a me issue as I'm not the one who pointed it out first. I could just confirm it. When I tested

[hot pebble]

What

Wtf???

[toxic sentinel]

yes,

exactly wtf

[hot pebble]

Why would transformation be 12 lul

[toxic sentinel]

which is why im upset

[hot pebble]

Its 64 isnt it?

[toxic sentinel]

yes. thats what IM WORDEING

yes,.

it should be

[hot pebble]

Ima open unity

This sounds stupid as hell

And very dumb

[toxic sentinel]

why would i complain if it wasnt dumb lol

[hot pebble]

And your friend sounds dumb asf

I dont believe for a second it went to 12

[toxic sentinel]

ok. tbh, i didnt eaither.

but, clearly , no one on quest could see my bones

except for, like two places

so im inclined to beilive them

[hot pebble]

I dont

At all

[toxic sentinel]

ok. then check it out, for youself i guess and do a quest test idk

[hot pebble]

@toxic sentinel
I have currently 48 transformation counts
Can upload
And works fine

[barren pumice]

How do you make avi's on quest bc I'm an idiot

[exotic sail]

ughh im trying to make my own avatars from scratch because i want like a new hobby or smth but vroid is kinda wonky and needs so much adjustments but i dont know/need to relearn how to use unity/blender to make models

[timber gale]

Dude, my friend Jess was looking for this avatar

[pastel storm]

I made it but its public now so tell em to add me my vec is the same as discord

[nimble prairie]

You can’t you need a pc

[hot pebble]

They are asking how to make an avatar for quest i believe

[barren pumice]

That's really sad

[barren pumice]

No I was asking how to make one on quest but good guess😁

[hot pebble]

Ah xd

[dull valve]

Looking for avis like or from vr lolathon would be willing to trade lmk please and thank you

[pastel storm]

Looking for the BLUE v2 with all the accessories

[tough pewter]

its not meant to be public lmao 🙏

that face is mmd, and thats not meant to be public, LIKE AT ALL.

also isnt that ripped

[pastel storm]

Nope i paid for my model

DM me ill explane more

@tough pewter

[tough pewter]

then you paid for a ripped model

cos i know damn well that model is not meant to be paid; it contains mmd assets, of which are most likely tda. :c

[junior quiver]

I ain't paying 100$ for 1 avatar

@vivid ridge can kill himself

[inner belfry]

I paid $500 for my avatar

[junior quiver]

Are you 13

[late silo]

Different creators charge different prices but what you gotta understand if they are making something from scratch then you are paying for their time $100 is cheap for something holly unique

[junior quiver]

I can't make 100 come out my ass

[junior quiver]

It's not super unique

It's a jacket with floating hands

Trench coat type thing

[late silo]

Yeah but it doesn't exist as an Avatar so someone would have to make it granted $100 is the low end of what I would charge for a full model so it's probably a little overpriced

But different people charge differently for their time

It's just a perspective thing

[junior quiver]

I'm the only one here that can't just import a jacket as an avatar and call it a day because no laptop, no pc

No nothing

And it won't work on a chrome book sadly

So I'll go into an avatar search

Se if I can find something similar

See*

[late silo]

I mean it's a little more complicated than that it still has to be modeled and rigged, most people looking for commissions aren't just going to grab a jacket off the internet and make it move they are going to try and make it something that you would actually enjoy, so I'm just saying it's kinda screwed up saying someone can kill themselves for quoting you a price on an Avatar.

[hot pebble]

Jesus dude

A little over kill xd

[junior quiver]

100$ ro me is alot

To*

[hot pebble]

Right

[abstract swallow]

sounds about right for the price one would pay for getting a custom avatar to their liking

and rude as hell of you to call someone out quoting you on a price for a customized avatar, and complaining that you can't afford it

[junior quiver]

It's just a floating jacket

Like trench coat

[abstract swallow]

doesnt change the fact that it still has to be custom, I doubt that any avatars out there are just purely a floating trench coat like you want

and if its for quest too, oh boy that is another challenge as well

like @late silo already mentioned, more complicated than it might seem to you, you would have to model/rig/texture. Given the fact that its also for quest some time would definetly have to be spent making it meet the VRChat quest avatar specs

so unless if your committed to finding someone that can quote you a lower price for a custom quest avatar, suck it up

[nimble prairie]

Still gotta rig it and add a shit ton of stuff to it unity and blender work ain’t easy it’s a pain in the ass

I didn't understand

hopefully they do because otherwise you know Avatar possible at all

can someone help me figure out how to upload my avatar?

[spare summit]

make it urself then lmfao

itll b shit, but thats why ppl pay hundreds for avatars. to get smth good

[junior quiver]

I'm not looking for something that good

[tulip dagger]

I know someone who paid well over $1000 for an avatar, people actually like getting paid for their labor who could've guessed?

[jagged sequoia]

myself have a friend who paid 1400 for an avatar

[abstract swallow]

then no avatar for you it looks like

again, $100 really not alot for a custom avatar, if anything its pretty cheap

[tulip dagger]

I mean, could do what I did and just learn blender/unity instead of paying for an avatar, now you're investing time and effort instead of money
disclaimer: the only reason this worked for me is because I had a genuine interest in doing it myself, sooooo good luck I guess

[abstract swallow]

@fallen obsidian what

what about it

oh I don't develop or charge for avatars, but seeing some of those prices make sense to me

some of them is a bit outrageous

how long do you spend making them? @abstract swallow

whoops @'ed myself?

@fallen obsidian

how many hours?

so that means on the low end your working $12 - $14 an hour

which is rather low for an artist

most clients are shit lmao, but I wouldn't try to undervalue yourself too much

[plush turtle]

Does anyone know how to fix this for quest

[solar harness]

Mind explaining the problem instead of a singular photo with no context?

[plush turtle]

Sorry.

Parts of the clothes are See throw

[hot pebble]

Thats the mesh i believe

It should also i happen on PC

[plush turtle]

How would I fix it like what do I need to do with the mesh

[abstract swallow]

Making it double sided

But that would mean more polys

[hot pebble]

yeah xwx

[summer wedge]

Is there a way to download avt and put them in vrc?

[nimble prairie]

Yeah thru buying them and uploading them using unity or modelling ur own then putting it in unity

[summer wedge]

Thank you!!!

[livid urchin]

How to fix?

[storm delta]

Material > VRChat > Mobile > Select a Shader from there.

[livid urchin]

k

[livid urchin]

still didnt work

[polar mist]

Make sure you change every materials shader to VRChat/mobile otherwise it won’t upload

[livid urchin]

i did i even got rid of them and it was still there

[hot pebble]

Then theres another material with that shader

Don’t ask this same as I said in avi searxh you will get banned it’s against TOS

I’d delete ur message if i was you

[trail arrow]

Any idea why a model shows no support for Windows or Quest even though everything is setup correctly? The SDK won't tell me what's causing the issue. I have previous revisions of the model that have updates correctly. The only change I made was making an atlas for the UV map + Textures. Importing the older versions of the model have the same issue where it won't show support for either.

[rough mountain]

I have an issue with the texture keeps having black boxes how do i get rid of it?

[hot pebble]

It seems like the avatar needs cutout/transparency which quest doesn't have
That's my guess anyways

[flint forge]

Quest lacks any shader with cutout, the only fix is to get that avatar into blender and manually cut out the black part, using the knife tool.

[rough mountain]

Alright I could possibly try that

How would I import it? Sorry im new to this

[trail arrow]

Update to my original question. Somewhere between me changing and merging the UV maps, going from 2 single maps to a custom atlas it broke the avatar completely and between the start and the end of it I'm unsure of what's causing the model to break completely.

[rough mountain]

Im lost on how to get this avatar quest compatible. I have no idea what im doing and I can use help if someone could please.

[jagged sequoia]

Quest shaders cannot use transparency so anything that's transparent is turning solid black

[rough mountain]

Thank you,Ima probably have to deal with that later but for now I want to get the avatar more compatible for quest

[jagged sequoia]

to fix that you would basically need to take the Avatar Into blender and use the knife cool to cut out the black shapes

[jagged sequoia]

all three of those shaders are only compatible with worlds

[rough mountain]

What do you mean if i may ask?

[jagged sequoia]

meaning they're not usable on avatars

like one of them is literally what used for Sky boxes

[rough mountain]

What shaders would I use then for the avatar?

[rough mountain]

I would use those?

[jagged sequoia]

yes I would suggest converting everything to toon lit

[rough mountain]

Alright

Thank you

[jagged sequoia]

as using non-compatible shaders absolutely stops the upload process

like the Avatar is very unoptimized but the rest of the areas aren't going to stop upload

[rough mountain]

ah alright,would it be alright if i ask you more questions as i do this?

[jagged sequoia]

sure but I would recommend asking here so that other folks can answer if I don't get to you first

like feel free to tag me if you have a question

[rough mountain]

Alright bet

How do I import this avatar into so i can cut those black bxes

@jagged sequoia

[jagged sequoia]

you would have to import the Avatar Into blender

[rough mountain]

Omg you scared me

[jagged sequoia]

yes that's not something you'll be able to fix in unity

[rough mountain]

How do i import it

[jagged sequoia]

have you ever touched blender before

[rough mountain]

yeah but barely

[jagged sequoia]

I guess a question would be what file format is your avatar in

[rough mountain]

prefab

[jagged sequoia]

that is not a file format

[rough mountain]

Sorry

[jagged sequoia]

like is it a fbx file

[rough mountain]

I think so. i don't exactly get it or know how to explain it.

[jagged sequoia]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NjMeAFkm3s

[rough mountain]

Does it work with blender 3.5 too?

[jagged sequoia]

yes

[rough mountain]

Alright thx

[jagged sequoia]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MkgXcidxg4 this video wouldn't show you how to fix the transparencies but does show some stuff for reducing triangle count

[rough mountain]

Alrighty

[jagged sequoia]

https://youtu.be/9DRQWIdEeTo?t=1019 I sent the link for this video to jump to a section that might able to help with the transparencies

[rough mountain]

Thank you once again

[jagged sequoia]

so I probably watch the first video to get the fbx imported and then fix the transparency and then get to dissolving Edge loops

How do i add gogoloco with flight and/or scaling to an avatar that already has parameters for toggles?

[lament island]

Can anyone helt me upload My vroid avatar for Quest, i have the tools but since i have a macbook i cant 😦

[compact lily]

You can upload from Mac

You just need to install Unity with Android and Windows build support, set up the project, and switch build targets appropriately

[teal widget]

I have to say, this will help out so that way my friends using VR can see the avatar. Thank you for the helpful video you found! (I was looking for one, for a while and never found one..)

[eternal trench]

Anyone Know of any Quest Markers that you can put on your avi?

Shouldn't most work if u make it a quest shader?

i can try using qtmarker since its the one i downloaded

[prime fractal]

man, why wont this go away even after selecting all mobile standard lite shaders, hitting select also just selects the root of my avatar

[oblique storm]

it most likely means there is a material somewhere not set to a quest material even if you cannot find it, annoying yes, but it is there somewhere

[prime fractal]

Oh yeah I already figured it out, it was the little author credits pane inside the rex XD

hm can u dm me

Ik this is a quest avi help thing but does anyone know how to make clothes appear on pc bc on quest it works jus fine

[hot pebble]

Like making a toggle?

Just
Same parameter?

No

[hot pebble]

Then what xwx

[upbeat pollen]

I’m game she is naked for pc but not quest

I don’t want her naked

[hot pebble]

Are you working on that specific avatar or is it someone else who has uploaded it

[upbeat pollen]

I do my own

[hot pebble]

.

[high lion]

what is the reason, why quest avatars are not allowed to be bigger than 10MB?

is it only the loading time?

[flint forge]

VRChat on Quest 2 has 4GB of RAM (that also works as VRAM) to play with, I reguarly use more than 16GB of RAM and 8GB of VRAM on PC.

[high lion]

we are talking about 10 MB, not 100MB or 1000MB...

how worse would it be if we had 20MB for Quest 2 and Quest 3 (because quest 1 is dead)

[flint forge]

The primary reason behind Quest users crashing is using up that RAM.

20MB would be disastrous.

[high lion]

good news that quest 3 will have 12GB ram.
But how can 20MB play so much matter on 4GB ram?

[high lion]

wait a second.... thats not true...

why 4GB?

google say the quest 2 have 6GB.

[flint forge]

2GB for the basic Quest stuff (tracking, operating system, etc) games only have 4GB to play with.

[high lion]

I was wondering if you are still spreaking about the quest 1, because its GOOD that it is no longer supported, because it is slowing everything down for others.
I mean, we life in a time where the quest 2 becomes a performance boost over the next update and the quest 3 gots realesed...
a quest 1 would bottleneck everything by the limitations.

[flint forge]

Don't think that has been confirmed, but if it does then it just means Quest 3 owners will crash less, which is good. But VRChat would be dumb to change that upload size because that would ruin the experience for Quest 2 owners entirely.

[flint forge]

The Quest 1 has been unusable for a long time, it was not hindering the Quest version at all, the Quest 2 is the bottleneck and has been for a long time.

[high lion]

Quest 1 is slower than quest 2, so its a larger and worse bottleneck than quest 2... right?

[flint forge]

VRChat stopped considering the Quest 1 as a bottleneck, which is what left it in such a unusable state.

The Quest 1 was only supported on paper

[high lion]

ok, that's good.
But in theory... if in many years, meta drops support for the quest 2 too.....
would be vrchat still better be staying on the current limitations or should it be quest 3 minimum if quest 3 and quest 4 was on the market?
(in theory)

[flint forge]

The Quest 2 is still to be sold alongside the Quest 3 so it gets a bit more complicated, but they will pressumably change the limitations whenever they see that the Quest 2 is barely used by users.
That will most likely be quite a bit into the Quest 4's lifespan.

[high lion]

in case meta will continue.

[outer trout]

Anybody know why I can't hear avatar audio

[brave moss]

Settings

[nimble prairie]

Cuz quest doesn’t have avatar audio. They removed it since it was never supposed to be allowed

People who had it on qiest avatars were using a modified sdk (one of the ways some people did it there was other ways)

But it’s jsut not allowed on quest not supposed to be there

[upbeat pollen]

Can someone please help me! My legs won’t work!!!

[nimble prairie]

Wdym

[devout bronze]

rando question but when it comes to questifying your avatars is it better to just make a copy of the og unity scene and make it quest or is it better to just switch builds on the pc unity scene.

[patent iron]

If you don't need to make major changes for it to be quest compatable, you are best off switching builds on the PC unity scene. If there are more major differences, you should make a separate copy of the og unity scene.

How do I get shading and specular reflections to appear on a quest avatar? Whenever I use any of the quest shaders, my avatar looks very flat and un-shaded. The only quest shader that appears shaded and reflective is the Matcap shader, but you can't do normal maps and a matcap at the same time. Is there a way to get shading on an avatar with a normal map supporting shader?

[upbeat pollen]

I’m game my legs aren’t working

[fluid badge]

hey so uhm. I was attempting to find a folder that did not come with the creator companion, and attempted to spawn in an Avatar Dynamic Robot to see if i could find that file in there. However it got rid of my other avatar that I had already rigged and such. I closed unity and asked it to NOT SAVE,,,, though upon reopening, its still there with my avatar being gone. Dear lord. Please tell me it didnt override without me asking it to.

even if i drag in my model, it completely got rid of all of the physics bones i set up

[dawn anvil]

hello does anyone know how to turn a pc avi into a quest pls?

[knotty sky]

In the control panel there is a Switch To PC Build button or something like that

Or you can go to your build settings and switch platforms to andriod

[vestal obsidian]

any jumpscare ones

[runic dock]

Saw something that was like.playspace stuff in a gogoloco tab on a avi. Worked on quest anyone know what it's called

Also when crouching my avis head doesn't move up

Also how would I export a 2d texture to make it look higher quality

[late silo]

What do you mean play space like just moving your avatars up an down?

And what's the size of your texture file

[runic dock]

im using the oringal texture file- uh

[late silo]

I mean you can always upscale the texture

[runic dock]

hm alr and it was a setting thing you could rotate around and move ur height yea the playspace thing

but it was like gogoloco

[late silo]

I mean if you get the latest gogo you get the play space stuff in gogo broke and there's a thing on booth.pm that even makes the flight work on quest

[runic dock]

oh! okay Thanks! Id love to add it to my avi!

[late silo]

Yeah just go to booth then and download the latest gogo and search up quest flight the quest flight comes with a read me on how to set it up

[runic dock]

would you know what these do?

[late silo]

That's just mouth movement

[runic dock]

Oh okay where would i change uh like the idle face control and the controler hand stuff?

[late silo]

Playable layers

[runic dock]

uh so it says i need to add the parameters but the spots taken what i do?

[late silo]

set up your parameters in the gogo layers

[runic dock]

oof how does one do that

[late silo]

What were your menu and parameters for?

like what did the avatar have on it toggle or emote wise

[runic dock]

it had alot

like accessories body changes and stuff

[late silo]

yeah you would need to merge your fxlayer with vrlabs and add your animation parameters to both the parameter layer and menu layer for gogo

[late dawn]

how upload avatar to oculus version?

[nimble prairie]

If you don’t have a PC you can’t

[late dawn]

helpppp

why cant upload

[jagged sequoia]

having too many physics Bones on Quest will prevent upload from happening

[late dawn]

how do i delete dat

[patent iron]

Are there any way to use shaders on quest outside of the VRChat\Mobile shaders? All of them seem to have pretty much no shading, ecxept for the matcap one, which unfortunatly does not support normal maps.

[jagged sequoia]

nope you're only allowed to use the VRChat\Mobile shaders

[hot pebble]

It looks like they are uploading for PC tho xd

Which if you are, it wouldnt cancel anything

[willow solar]

was exporting stuff from vroid into Unity, is the ball in the right spot?

i'm not sure how accurate its position has to be inbetween the eyes

Like its this fine or does it have to be more precise?

[patent iron]

My issue was that my colour textures were too dark. Brightening them up, my avatar looks much better.

[sharp jewel]

Anyone able to upload some avis for me

[patent iron]

The ball generally just has to be inbetween the eyes. If you have an HMD, try moving your head up and down to see if you crouch or float despite not moving. If you do, try moving the ball in the head or a bit out untill it's right.

[patent iron]

What do you mean by help upload? Do you want an explanation on how to?

[jagged sequoia]

someone uploading avatars to your own accounts against terms of service

[gloomy latch]

i wanna get into avatar creation, can someone help? also it needs to be for free so no paid software to do it please!

[tawny rampart]

Rainhert has a guide on YouTube, it can scim over some details but it can help, I recommend not trying to do a really detailed avatar and get used to the programs. You can also look at booth for free avatars and edit them (If it's allowed by the creator)

[tulip snow]

Hello there, if anyone skilled on unity making avatars quest compatible, i would be really glad to use some help on advice, please.
Long story short, i want to make avatar compatible for quest (from pc avatar), originally it's on poi/poi_pro, i got textures and meshes already done by someone else, but when i uploaded everything and connected to pc, my friend with quest headsed said avatar broken, all skin textures goes white. but if friend turn avatar off/on it's getting normal/working for a second, then it's turns completely white again, and also little 3d model spinning in avatar selection screen of avatar also looking normal, for some reason. Anything i can try to do to fix my avatar ?

[tawny rampart]

unfortunately Poi isn't compatible with quest/mobile. You'll need to go through each object that uses shaders and change it to VRChat -> Mobile -> toon Lit (1st picture).

you'll also have to change your environment to Android, you can do that with the VRChat SDK. You essentially have to upload 2 different versions of your avatar one for PC and one for quest.

[tulip snow]

well, i did both, it's not my first compatible avatar i upload from pc and quest version and i know how to connect them and switch to android.
Usually i use VRCQuestTools to convert everything into quest-compatible equivalent. I just checked as well, every single object using shader toon lit, no exceptions.
But problem still there, after loading my avatar by quest users, literally after half second - for them my avatar body turns all white, only clothes stays same. And i have no idea why it happens

and most strange thing that if they turn my avatar off and on again, for split second, my avatar looks normal, all textures and shaders working as intended

but then it turns white again

[red nest]

peni parker anyone ?

[wooden viper]

Okay, for some reason i'm only getting one error and i can't find the cause of it, the error says this:
"Avatar uses unsupported shader Standard-DoubleSided". You can only use the
shaders provided in VRChat/Mobile• for Ouest avatars."
I've pressed the select button but all it does is select the root of the avatar, i've looked in all the elements of the avatar and no shader of that type has shown up. Is there a way to fix this?

[tulip snow]

Go thru all parts of avatar and look what shaders it's using, if there's anything beside the ones provided in VRChat -> Mobile - change it to something from there

[wooden viper]

I did and never found the part

I even checked the parts that wouldn't have the shader

[tulip snow]

Try open/expand error part, and look, sometimes it's showing path to materials/problem, also, if it's saying any material names or anything beside "DoubleSided" - try search by any given names in assets / avatar parts / shaders etc

Or, you also can try using tool to convert all shaders into quest ones (mobile), called VRCQuestTools, i'm using it, works most of times

[wooden viper]

Huh, I'll try that

[eternal trench]

By chance Dose anyone have The Regulus Photoshop textures?

[nimble prairie]

?

[eternal trench]

Its a File from a Model ngl kinda shooting in the dark so 🤷

[nimble prairie]

Well if it’s something from the model you have to pay for the model itself

You have to buy models you can’t just snatch files from them lol it’s against creators TOS

[eternal trench]

Fair enough. ngl i havent done reserch on the model so i didnt know it was paid. ill go look for it now

[nimble prairie]

It’s on booth :3

Just search up regulus model for vrc and it should show up the link

[wooden viper]

How do I make a control to grow or shrink something by a percentage?

[hot forge]

How do I make a vrc character?

Do I need blender?

[wooden viper]

any 3d modeling program will work to be honest

[hot forge]

alr

ive never used a 3d modelling program

so idek how to turn in it

i have

no clue what im doing

wrong channel aswell

[tiny umbra]

hiii uhhh im trying to find like, where in VRCQuestTools to do that but i can't seem to find that option would you be able to tell me where to look?

[timber river]

have there been any changes to quest 2 performance requirements recently? ive uploaded a few avatars and on one of them my friends are unable to see the props, though when i use my own quest 2 i can perfectly see all 12 props, but i havent yet downloaded a vrchat update on my quest 2 so i thought maybe one of the recent updates changed performance requirements

[nimble prairie]

Only I thing I know of rn is quest can’t have Avis over 11mb

[timber river]

yea i know about that , since the sdk wouldnt let me upload it if it was over 10MB , im just really confused by the fact that when i use my quest 2 i can see the avatar props but my friends cant

[tulip snow]

then first option, choose avatar by top right corner button, just as sdk if there problems, on top of menu would be "select/autofix" buttons, click those, if given, or read what it says, if no problems found, go on bottom of menu and click convert. You may find that some shaders or textures not working or missing, in that case, you need manually fix them. Not a big problem. Tool creates quest version of project and hides original one so just find problematic materials and copy them, then manually change their type to tool lite or standart lite, put inside shaders/textures anything that was in original avatar (if there slot for that, if not just skip) for eyes and other transparent stuff use particles/multiply (it's makes things transparent but works only for things without bones at all as people said to me). If anything works fine from start, just do work with avi quest version that tool created, try upload that one or do what need, and stuff

[white talon]

Is there a way I can make quest avatars on an iPhone?

[onyx ferry]

Flatout: No. You need a computer for some of this stuff, namely running VRC and creator companion.

maybe you could 3D model on Iphone, but to rig and do other stuff a PC is a neccessity

[late silo]

only option you have is Ready Player me

[harsh aurora]

[Question] - Have some PC users noticed that certain quest avatars are semi seethrough, I saw this last night quite a bit with a group of new Quest users that some were using the Ready Player Me avatars.

[harsh aurora]

They appear totally dark in the room until they get close to a bright lighting probe, when they will be obviously seethrough.

[timber river]

I haven't seen anything like that, atleast if you're referring to pc vr, idk about the Desktop version, I haven't really used that in about a year. But it most likely is just that someone messed up the shaders on the pc versions of those avatars

[hot pebble]

Huh

Wtf are you talking about?

PC players can ONLY see the pc version of that avatar

So it seems like a shader issue on PC as PC avatars have the ability to use custom shaders

[late silo]

If I'm not mistaken ready player me uses toon lit and that shader is trash on pc

[hot pebble]

Kekw

[harsh aurora]

Ah this makes sense, I also noticed the same behaviour with Mobile/Lightmapped

[jagged sequoia]

Mobile/Lightmapped
is not intended for avatars in the slightest

[last pecan]

How much would it be to have an avatar like this made?

[jagged sequoia]

several hundred dollars at minimum

[nimble prairie]

Not cheap

[late silo]

just depends on where you go

[robust torrent]

Well we have finish by compressed our avatar but now it's the sdk who don't want take for send in our quest

[pastel storm]

So my avi doesn’t have clothes for pc it’s not a shader thing it’s not a toggle thing idk what to do help please I have a wedding avi I have to get done now!!!

[hot pebble]

Whats its default state on the toggle of the clothing?

On the FX layer

As it should be the same state as it is in unity

So if its off by default the gameobject should also be off in unity

Also check transitioning xd

[pastel storm]

how much for him to be made

[pastel storm]

Just the model or with his abilities etc.

[pastel storm]

either

[stiff fog]

I am trying to upload an avi on quest and im met with all of these. What can fix this?? https://i.imgur.com/59bYaBy.png

[late silo]

put those parameters in your VRCExpressionsParameters

[stiff fog]

TY!

[willow crown]

#avatar-search-old

[chilly orbit]

how do i get rid of this error, i only have one material and it has the toonlit option under VRChat/Mobile

[late silo]

look through every part of you avatar in the hierarchy it has to be there somewhere

[wet vortex]

make sure to look through the entire avata- what they said

another useful way to do it, is to look in the materials folder and change the shaders on the materials itself

[chilly orbit]

Thank you, I found it!

[chilly orbit]

Thank you too lol

[wet vortex]

yw 🙂

[chilly orbit]

can you build and test on oculus? or is that only a pc thing you can do? i dont have any errors, just a warning about my pelvis bones and height.

[tawny rampart]

you can, it pops up as other avatars

but if you load into it its only visible to you.

[chilly orbit]

oh well what have i done wrong then lmfao

[chilly orbit]

i accedentally uploaded it onto pc earlier with the same errors and its still there

[tawny rampart]

its just telling you fbt won't work properly, just upload the avatar. if anything is broken you can overwrite it.

i have it on a few of my avis

[chilly orbit]

so just upload instead of testing it?

[tawny rampart]

yeah

[chilly orbit]

okay!

[sick perch]

Who can do a oc for me?

[tawny rampart]

check out #community-servers-old and check out VRCTraders only talk to people who are verified on that server

[pastel storm]

I don't have a picture of the avatar but I need help finding it
It's small has a grey shirt with a big red collar and thigh highs for the basic outfit but it also has punk and a com onesie one with Boop interactions someone please help!!

[tawny rampart]

ngl, you've pretty much mentioned alot of vrc avatars.

[pastel storm]

It has a Piranha mouth.

It has an interaction where you touch its nose and its tongue sticks out, then pull on his tongue and a red button with show up on top of its head it also had a chainsaw and a bat

[chilly orbit]

i uploaded my avatar into vrchat, it is off center and so if i t-pose my left hand goes into the chest of my avatar(can upload a picture if wanted) and it's missing a few bones in unity as well

[next trellis]

I feel like having a friendly debate with someone, so, why are Vrchat avatars so expensive? I'm having one commissioned right now for only $10, and have bought avatars for $10. They're just a bunch of pixels and polygons, what are you going to do when the game gets shut down? Or you lose your account or something?

[nimble prairie]

Well how complex is said avatar

[next trellis]

Well I'm not too sure since this is just a general question and I don't know much about avatars. Mine is just a retexture, but I was talking to someone said they paid $300 just for a retexture.

The on I bought only really has goloco, and some particles.

[nimble prairie]

That’s why it’s 10 dollars

It depends on complexity materials used and time

If some wants a whole bunch of paid assests and stuff on their avi price goes up

If they want a whole bunch of toggles price goes up

Particles animations etc.

[hot pebble]

Entirely depending on the complexity and specifics of the texture is the reason for that price

[hot pebble]

Some VRChat avatars are again entirely depending on the complexity and specifics of an avatar and some people make avatars from scratch so it may take time and effort to make it look decent

[shell plank]

Wait can you make avatars on quest

[shell plank]

??

[jagged sequoia]

any content upload to vrchat requires a computer with a install of unity

[shell plank]

I hate thissss

Ofc I don't have a pc

[iron epoch]

I can help with that If you don't mind:)

[shell plank]

It's alright

I can wait til I can afford a pc

[chilly orbit]

does anyone know why on blender i have more bones then what i do when i import the fbx file to unity?

[shell solar]

Did you mean making avatar for quest since you don't have PC?

[shell plank]

Ye

[safe kettle]

Hi pls help me

[nimble prairie]

With?

for export an avatr on vrchat

[hot pebble]

Wut

[nimble prairie]

You need someone to upload an avatar you mean?

[hot pebble]

against TOS to let someone upload an avatar to your account

[chilly orbit]

can someone help me with my avatar? I am having problems with the bones right now. (i am not giving out my files, we can get in a lil call or sum)

nope not possible to use custom shaders on Quest Ave

[unique monolith]

Darn

[hot pebble]

Them eyes xwx

[honest zealot]

I'm looking for a paid freelance/intern avatar designer to

Create an avatar (head and hands) - 3D modelling - based on some initial design ideas

Rig avatar for use with Meta SDK hand, face and eye tracking
Set up avatar in Unity to work with Meta Quest Pro
For the game Squingle! https://squingle.com/

Do you know someone that could help?

[frigid falcon]

Sorry, dumb question but how do you switch your build target to android? Whenever I click it nothing happens. It still says "Active Build Target: StandaloneWindows64"

[honest zealot]

Switch to Android

[frigid falcon]

sorry, I'm not sure how to get to that. This is where I am now.

[broken kernel]

Click this at the bottom

Wait ohhh hold on

[broken kernel]

Ok this is gonna sound funky but go out of the sdk. at the top left of unity, click file, then go to build settings, then click android, and then click build and run.

Hope I helped

[frigid falcon]

You did, thank you! :3

[broken kernel]

Ayeeeee np

[frozen tinsel]

Any ideas for the ears I’m at a loss rn

[jovial idol]

I hope i can make a hedgehph oc

Im broke

This sucks

[grand canyon]

Btw question about vrc avatars
What is it called when ur avatar is controlled like a puppet in vrc
I want to make a model for vex that does that
So like u have invisible body and dragging around the avatar like it a puppet or somethin
I found a avatar like that and it’s a eastern dragon,I want to mimic it makin another model similar
any yt video that explains it?

[nimble prairie]

Idk if there is a YouTube vid for it, but it’s just a model you rig to a hand

[gray idol]

Anyone know where to find an avatar like Fear me from NotARascal ? It’s all blacked out w a human form and has a red eyed but black mask

[lapis karma]

is there a shader on quest like this one?

[torpid portal]

There is a mobile particle shader that might work

Though I did forget the name

[lapis karma]

ok

[hot pebble]

It wont

In-game whatever has that material with that shader literally goes invisible

[torpid portal]

They might be looking for that

The material is named blank

[strange herald]

Is this where I send a picture and see if it gets turned into an avatar

Nvm

[torpid portal]

Huh

[formal cloud]

Elf

[frozen tinsel]

Lies

I’ve made glasses, eyelashes

It only goes I invisible when it’s only light colors

[hot pebble]

????

[hot pebble]

ewe

[frozen tinsel]

Well let me rephrase that it’s a gradient but white is completely transparent then it goes to solid

So based on your colors you can make a variety of effects

[white talon]

Anyone have a British cavalry soldier with working musket and flintlock?

[nimble prairie]

Not the place to ask go to #avatar-search-old

[nimble prairie]

Same with you go to #avatar-search-old

[formal venture]

any ideas on hwo to fix the rendering issues for theses on standard lite vrchat shader? ( need quest compat)

[pastel storm]

Build and publish for androids is greyed out. Can anyone help me out?

[trim river]

need some help with this,
quest shaders mess up the textures and its complaining about poly count.
any suggestions?

[jagged sequoia]

yellow symbol medium ranked avatars aren't going to give you any trouble

but I do wonder how the heck a Minecraft avatar is using that many triangles

[stone pivot]

anyone know where i can find a spiderman avatar with a hood on?

[hot pebble]

#avatar-search-old

[tulip dagger]

secondary clothing layers with a lack of transparency I'm guessing, I have a simular situation where the quest version of an avatar is higher poly than the PC version because of the lack of cutout support on quest.

[strange cargo]

Spider lair on gum road but next time ask in #avatar-search-old

[ornate thorn]

Does anyone know where I can go to get a good explanation of how to work on avatars like bones, texturing, expressions, or anything a basic avatar uses? I have everything I need and have a model from gumroad but am having a hard time figuring out how to set it up

[hot pebble]

Youtube & Documentations?

[ornate thorn]

I've tried youtube but the tutorials I find don't really explain a lot of things very well, like things that would be good to know for all types of avatars, I can try the documentations though

[forest charm]

I'm dying, help me I don't know how to decrease build size..

[hot pebble]

Lowering Max Size and using Crunch Compression usually does the trick

but you also may need to lower the amount of polys and other stuff the avatar has

[forest charm]

What's this compressor quality thing

Do I just ignore that-

[forest charm]

It worked out

[pastel storm]

How do your change heads?

[nimble prairie]

?

[pastel storm]

Iv been stuck for awhile but trying to remove the head to begin with. Idk where to start.

Trying to change the head for my avatar

[late silo]

like in blender?

[pastel storm]

In Unity

[late silo]

back when i first started in unity i would shrink the head bone to .001

then you shrink the hip bone of the other avatar that you want the head from to .001 and scale the head bone on that one up to 100

then just drag and drop the head into the other armature on the head bone

Though i would suggest just learning blender cause that method ^ is going to make your avatars performance plummet

[silent musk]

thats it? im also stuck on it

[silent musk]

max size of what exactly

[hot pebble]

2D texture?

[flint forge]

The texture resolution.

[pallid epoch]

I would appreciate it so much if someone could walk me through adding a hat to my avatar for quest. I have tried it already but it appears invisible in game. Thanks

[forest root]

Could someone help me with a making a avatar?

Specifically for sao

[night lily]

Does anyone know why the Lightmapped shader doesn't work for quest avatars despite being in the mobile category?

Toon lit is buggy with lighting and lightmapped would just work better

[flint forge]

Because it is meant for worlds.
Yes, it is confusing.

[night lily]

Ah

weird

[upbeat pollen]

I made a blender model but when I added the pants everything seemed fine until I got in game and now there are lines connecting leg to leg. Please help it happens with every pair of pants I add!!!!

[stiff wind]

When creating/uploading avatars from Unity does one create both a PC and an Android build? The Android-compatible alone would work right?

[jagged sequoia]

vrchat does not Auto convert from one platform to the other so you have to upload your avatar twice

[stiff wind]

What happens if I use the Android avatar in PCVR? I've never chosen a "version" on the other avatars.

Oh, can both avatars exist in VRChat like the PC/Android worlds?

[jagged sequoia]

basically if you don't upload the PC Avatar they're going to see a fall back Avatar as there's literally no data for the PC version of vrchat to load to show your avatar

[stiff wind]

How about the other direction. If I upload Windows what does the native Quest user see? And how do I select something compatible with both?

[jagged sequoia]

so basically you were just upload to Android and then swap build Target back to Windows and hit upload again to make a proper cross-platform Avatar

[stiff wind]

Got it. Same project, same avatar name right?

[jagged sequoia]

yes just switch the build Target to Windows after the quest upload

[stiff wind]

Done... thanks.

[hoary mortar]

do i need to have unity to make avatars, or is only blender fine?

[oblique storm]

Blender is a great tool to actually make good and performant avatars, but unity is required to actually setup and upload an avatar to VRChat

[hoary mortar]

ok, thanks!

[oblique storm]

Make sure you get the correct unity version, you can’t just get any. Check the VRChat documentation for versions and such

[white talon]

Where can I find a Jeffry dahmer avatar for quest

[pastel storm]

Question is there any cool avatar worlds to check out?😅

[nimble prairie]

Depends on what kinda Avis im you want but this is better to ask it in #avatar-search-old

[pastel storm]

Ok thank you

[minor trench]

Does anyone know the current name of the avatar that use to be Demon Loli videos from Bossinator01 if you need to see the avatar

[brave cedar]

I need help with the fact I can't change shaders, because

if I select a material other than none it goes bright pink

and I can't upload my otherwise complete avatar

[stuck yacht]

I know I’m late but that could mean various things it depends on what it says in your builder
and you should auto fix things that give you the option to
ex: if you have more than 8 physbones then you won’t be able to publish for quest

[jagged sequoia]

yep no custom shaders whatsoever for Quest avatars

[silk elm]

World name might be "Duck tales woo-oo's avatar world" or something close. The thumbnail should be Deadpool.

[nimble prairie]

That world has ripped Avis

[silk elm]

Oh noooo, anything but the location of what someone else was asking for

[charred swift]

Hey, y'all. I'm making my second Avatar ever, and it's been a year or two. So pardon my dust. I'm running into a problem when importing my .fbx file to unity. It rotates my object's armature by 90 degrees, and I can't find a way to fix this. Heres what it looks like in VRC and Unity, I hope this makes the issue clear. From what I can tell, the viewport is in the right place and moving appropriately to the head bone, but when I rotate and move the Avatar just t-pose moves in those directions.

[minor trench]

Must have imported the avatar wrong

[reef pewter]

Check if the shaders match for the quest version, also make sure no other avatars are causing problems with the one you are trying to upload

As chip has stated

[twilit wedge]

Anyone know any good dragon ball avatars?

[nimble prairie]

Ask in #avatar-search-old not here

[kind finch]

Can you even add lights to quest avatars

[nimble prairie]

I’ve seen people do it

I have Avis with working flashlights

[spice reef]

Anyone know a miles morales avatar with working web shooters similar to spider lair?

[nimble prairie]

#avatar-search-old

[spice reef]

I tried

[nimble prairie]

I’m just saying this channel isn’t the channel to ask for avatars

[cloud pond]

Alright so I’ve run into a bit of a problem

I’m currently uploading an avi and in unity she does have her hair but in game she is completely bald, does anyone have a quick fix?

[hot pebble]

They used modded SDKs maybe
Pretty sure light component gets removed by normal SDK

[pastel storm]

@kind finch @hot pebble They used a particle system. A light prefab will be treated as a particle and that's allowed.

[kind finch]

Ight

[hot pebble]

Noted

[hard river]

Hey can i commission someone

[shell solar]

For an Avi?

[nimble prairie]

I’d you want to com an avi id recommend going to vrc traders which you can find in #community-servers-old if you ask In here you’ll get alot of scams

[hard river]

Yes

[shell solar]

Yes there is a lot of scammers here

[nimble prairie]

Yep and you seem to be one of them

[shell solar]

How come you must be reported to the admin

[nimble prairie]

What?

[shell solar]

Yes you will soon get banned for abusing me 😔

[nimble prairie]

Uhm I’m not

The way ur acting kinda makes it seem ur a scammer but whatever

[neon linden]

Stop abusing people okay

I think this will be the last time you doing this
you will get banned in some sec now

[nimble prairie]

What ?

I’m not abusing anyone

[wet vortex]

Whats happening?

[nimble prairie]

Apparently I’m abusing people

[nimble prairie]

For this

[wet vortex]

I dont see any abuse???

[shell solar]

Why did he call me a scammer it was so abusing

[nimble prairie]

First of all

I’m not a he

Second

The way ur accout is setup makes it seem like it

[wet vortex]

Calling you a scammer isnt abusive?

[nimble prairie]

Like it’s kinda

Yeah

Abusive would be entirely diffrent

[wet vortex]

i have never been so confused in my life

[nimble prairie]

Same

[neon linden]

he is
Because when you call someone a scammer people will also think the same so

stop calling people a scammer it's very bad okay

[nimble prairie]

That’s not what abuse is

Do you need me to literally tell you the definition of abuse

[wet vortex]

The way someones account is set up can be a clear way to alert for scamming, and the way that someone is acting can be a clear indication for it. Calling someone one is not abusive.

[neon linden]

If you think so but it is to me

[shell solar]

It's okay but am kinda not happy because some people over here may read the conversation and think otherwise

[nimble prairie]

Are you a scammer

Cuz if ur not you have nothing to worry about

[shell solar]

No

[wet vortex]

Thats fine by you, everyone has their own ways of thinking about it

[neon linden]

It's alright then

[shell solar]

It's all okay

[shell solar]

@nimble prairie is right you can go check vrc trader to find a commission on it

[proud hearth]

Not trying to sound rude or anything

[solid basin]

Thank you!

[kindred fractal]

Gotcha! These are crossplatform ones, dunno about pc only or all that

[solid basin]

No worries crossplatform is what I was lookin for

[kindred fractal]

Kk dope

[versed quiver]

For some reason trying to do outlines with the inverted normals method ends up looking fine in blender but in Unity it shows the outline covering the whole model.
What causes this?

[silk dune]

Any worlds that have either green or yellow optimized avatars?

Does the shader you are using have culling off?

[versed quiver]

im simply importing it from blender to unity
the method works fine on other models

what i've found out is that importing it without the armature makes the outline show up fine so i redid the whole armature and tried again but same issue
no idea why having an armature is causing it

[versed quiver]

dumb fix but i ended up just flipping normals in blender so that it shows the outline covering it incorrectly in Blender instead.
now it looks fine in Unity but that's such a dumb fix.
but if it works it works

[young falcon]

Anyone know of a world to get good male avatars?

[nimble prairie]

Better to ask in #avatar-search-old but I recommend aeryns avatars

[young falcon]

Thank you

[crystal zenith]

💪🏽

[raw leaf]

me being a filthy questie i have $25 and i want to see if i can get a simple avatar i have no avatar in mind at the moment but i just want to see if anyone would be willing

[nimble prairie]

If you@want to com an avi id reccomend going to #community-servers-old and finding the vrc traders server there’s A LOT of scammers here

[raw leaf]

im not smart

bwomp

[late silo]

Vrctraders can get kinda. pricey but I could meet you in vrc and show you a few examples of what I can do, just depends on what kind of avatar you're wanting

[pastel storm]

guys i found a way to get screenshaders working on quest

boutta bust

[late silo]

Do tell

[raw leaf]

id appreciate that

[late silo]

My name on vrchat is Lord Pimp just send me a friend request

[raw leaf]

sent

[late silo]

I'll be on a little later

[raw leaf]

ah ok

[late silo]

just dm me when you wanna hop on

[pastel storm]

what shaders would let me use a transparent material on quest

as well as a cutout

[jagged sequoia]

there are no cutout shaders available for Quest avatars

[pastel storm]

transparent?

[jagged sequoia]

also not available

[pastel storm]

thats weird ive seen em before on avis

[abstract swallow]

if that is so then those were uploaded with a modded SDK

which would be against TOS of VRC

[pastel storm]

why?

[abstract swallow]

VRC intentionally imposes those limitations so that performance doesn't have to suffer so poorly

the basis of VRC is user generated content

and generally people are not good when it comes to optimizing

so I don't blame them for imposing those restrictions, but also it is true also for the quest itself in that it struggles with transparency performance wise

[pastel storm]

damn

[abstract swallow]

hardware wise

I'm sure there are ways around it, people have been creative with how to make their avatars look good despite the limitations

wish I had the photo saved but someone made a quest avatar that had a fish bowl as their head, and "faked" transparency on it by using an inverted hull sphere, and some other clever artistry to fake it

[pastel storm]

huh

so like if u use a modded sdk what can vrc do?

[jagged sequoia]

ban you from Ever playing VR chat again

[kindred fractal]

^

They will do that HAHA

transparency isn’t allowed for a reason. You can make stuff completely invisible with particle shaders, but not semi-transparent

[pastel storm]

oh nevermind i guess 😂

also im tryna make a physbone that makes a gun rack back, its a shotgun. it has a physbone on the end but whenever i rack it, it doesnt go in a straight line back, how would i go about making it go straight back

[pastel storm]

which one specifically

[dusk hull]

Does someone have a custom demon slayer avatar

?

[zinc rain]

Im so close, anyone got tips on getting a bit of the size down?

[hot ingot]

Compress textures/ lower max texture size

Compres mesh

[zinc rain]

where would I find that?

[hot ingot]

Click the textures and scroll to the Bottom

[zinc rain]

small issue, im super dumb idk where that is

[hot ingot]

check that tickbox and change the max size

you can also set compression quality to something lower if its still too big

but that should definitely save up alot

[zinc rain]

idk why but I cant find that, it just displays as a shader or im just stupid

[hot ingot]

click the texture

from your assets

[zinc rain]

found it

[hot ingot]

there ya go

[zinc rain]

max size is 512, should I just lower it or change the comression setting to the higest?

All im using this for is a fallback anyway 😆

[hot ingot]

damn how many textures are you using 😭

just compress it see if thats enough to get thru

[zinc rain]

a few 🥺

many small

its not going to matter, most of them are 39kb big

yeah idk what I can change

you said something with the mesh?

[hot ingot]

Sec driving

[zinc rain]

not good 😆

text and drive bad

[zinc rain]

is there some smart people who knows how to do this?

[hot ingot]

i was barely gonna take off when i sent that nw hahaha

but

click the fbx

i dont think that will lower that much tho

[hot ingot]

mm what will matter is if your have several materials for each

not size wise but preformance wise

[zinc rain]

its 700kb I need to get rid off 😆

[zinc rain]

how did you get into that menu, im sooo dumb

[hot ingot]

click the fbx file for your model in the assets

[zinc rain]

everything is grayed out

nvm

sorry

will medium work well?

[hot ingot]

yeah but it prob wont be a whole lot of size saved idk

give it a try

see how much u have left

if its a lot of materials w small textures might be good to atlas into 1 bigger texture

[zinc rain]

still this 😭

[hot ingot]

did you compress all the textures??

that should have gotten the job done

[zinc rain]

compressed the big ones

[hot ingot]

u wanna do it for all of them

even if small

[zinc rain]

I love the quest, phone processor moment 😆

should I be changing max size?

its 512x?

[hot ingot]

i would say that size its fine, idk what is taking up so much space

ultimately u can change the size to 256 but it would look shitty

[zinc rain]

is there a way to decress polys like blender has 🤔

i got 0.19mb left though

nvm, i got it workyyyyyty

thanks

[hot ingot]

Yeah but quest Avatars should be a small amt of polys anyway

[gilded birch]

Is it possible to fix the animation on the head to stop when I put the animation on the chair of the avatar?

[noble sparrow]

Look like loli…

[ruby loom]

Any tips not to make a vrchat avatar look so crappy with it's toon lit shader

[late silo]

i mean you could use matcap with a matcap texture but in all reality quest shaders are limited, most you could do is make your texture sheets better, also standard lite gives you a few more shading options

[pastel storm]

https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/state-behaviors/#animator-tracking-control

[reef pewter]

Pretty sure in the future we will get better stander lite shader, since it was shown in a beta announcement.

[ruby loom]

I swear I've seen stylized toon shaders on quest?

[late silo]

I mean matcap helps with that otherwise probably modified sdk which is against rules

[ruby loom]

I'll just find out what matcap is

Thank you tho

[reef zephyr]

I've just changed the build target for my PCVR world to Quest and now I'm getting an error saying I need an avatar descriptor for the world, despite there already being a scene descriptor, do I need to make a new scene descriptor for it?

[tired ermine]

Anybody got goose ava I need more I got most of them

[nimble prairie]

Ask in #avatar-search-old

[simple oxide]

Guys I'd need some help ^^' Am actually adapting my main avatar for pc to be Quest friendly....

I already managed to fix a lot of issues, but I still have those remaining :

And I'd seriously need some advices / links to learn how to repair them ! ^^

[jaunty jewel]

hey can someone help me out for a second

so i'm importing an FBX into unity

and the textures arent there

[late silo]

what kind of rating are you trying to get on quest

[simple oxide]

Honestly.... I'd just like to use it as my fall off avatar

[late silo]

You would need to bring it down to 1 skinned mesh render 1 material, 10000 polygons...as i see it i doubt that avatar could be a fallback

fallbacks are very limited

[silk crypt]

Does anyone have just a photo of the avatar ethot???

[upper shell]

How long do i have to be in vrchat an order to upload my own custom avatar?

[flint forge]

It is not a matter of time, it is more a matter of getting enough friends, friend requests and seemingly just talking with people.
We do not entirely know how the system works, on purpose.

You can get the ability to upload avatars if you pay once for VRC+, it gives a permanent, one time boost.

[torpid mural]

Looking to put nightvision on a quest and pc compatible avatar, anyone know of a way so we can make questies see in the dark? I've been trying a number of options but no luck

[night pine]

Iv seen some quest avatars do that, how to make it is another question but they do exist

[reef pewter]

It’s mesh particle based

It’s how on quest you could do “world constraints”

But I’m unsure how light effects are a thing. Thought we weren’t allowed that option

[torpid mural]

I'm unsure, I was wondering if it's an inverse sphere around the head with maybe an additive particle?

[crude acorn]

make sure the mesh isn't attached to the head (the bone can be, but the mesh render can't)

the reason for this is any mesh (cube, sphere, etc) that is directly attached to the head will be invisible to the wearer

if that doesn't work, make it run locally and make a huge af sphere attached to the neck that goes out far enough to where near clip doesn't make it invisible

[steady idol]

thats modeling black magic
modeling extra stuff to get you fun stuff like outlines n stuff

[tacit orbit]

Im looking for help trying to get my avatar from blender to be quest compatible, can anyone walk me through this?

[nocturne cedar]

hello everyone , im new to uploading avatars and i have stumbled across a stopping point , does anyone know how to fix a avatar if its to big to upload for quest , Ex = max avi siz is 10.00 mb but the avi i have is 10.44 mb , if anyone knows how to fix this please let me know , thank you

[trail tulip]

You can find him in naruto worlds

[pastel storm]

Can someone fine me a femboy quest avi world?

[nimble prairie]

This is better to ask in #avatar-search-old (but if you go to prismics avatar search and literally just search femboy there’s lots)

[pastel storm]

O okay

[grand stone]

Hm I hear femboy?

[oblique storm]

Most likely it is a combination of too many materials and/or the textures are too large. The materials can only really be fixed inside of Blender or Maya, but the textures can have their resolution lowered. If any are 4K or higher, definitely lower their resolution. Even for PC, 4K can be considered a lot or overkill. If they are 2k and mostly consist of solid colors, you can easily get away with 1k or even 512 without much detail loss

[cobalt gorge]

Bruh how do I get the spooderman avatar for vrchattt

[nimble prairie]

Ask in #avatar-search-old

[spring panther]

Oh...sorry.

[late silo]

Anyone else have a stroke trying to read this?

[pastel storm]

This might sound stupid but is there any quest avatar commissioners that makes avatars for free because my friend is looking for one?

[fluid smelt]

i know a guy but he's workin on 2 projects rn

[pastel storm]

Does he make military Avis or no

[fluid smelt]

aah im not sure, i could dm u his @ ‼️

[pastel storm]

If you don’t mind because my friend is looking for avatar commissioners

[wooden sable]

anyone got a good metal matcap they can hmu with?

[gleaming hull]

needing help with an avatar i cant use the original "avatar" controller because i took it into blender and for some reason it breaks my avatar.....

is there anyway to get a new one made for my avatar?

so i can use and animate my avatar?

anyone?

[tough pewter]

Set your fbx as humanoid, and where the fbx is, click the arrow, and then there should be a greenish blue person looking thing to put in the avatar slot

You do not need to put a controller into the top slot

[gleaming hull]

Ahhhhhh

thanks

i fixed it

god bless

[cobalt gorge]

Yo is it Alr if I can get his @ aswell please

[iron epoch]

I made a military Avatar with Armor some months back, you could dm me so I can give them to you

[pastel storm]

I was wondering who make’s military Avis for quest compatible because my friend is asking for a avatar

[vague seal]

something realistic? female btw

[nimble prairie]

You kinda gotta be more specific but this is better to ask in #avatar-search-old

[vague seal]

i knowww sorryy, okie thanks!

[royal ridge]

I have 2 questions I want to verify. 1, can you have audio sources on quest avatars? 2, can you use parent constraints on quest avatars to animate props?

[jagged sequoia]

audio sources and constraints are not available on Quest avatars at all

[royal ridge]

Damn, okay then.

What about Physbones and Contact Receivers?

[flint forge]

All of that is accessible.

[granite ingot]

What’s a good matcap that everyone use’s for anime avatar’s?

[jolly heath]

did vrchat change it so you can no longer upload very poor avatars for quest? Quest avatars arent usually a priority for me but its nice for close friends if mine to be able to see my avatar by manually showing it if they want

[jolly heath]

NVM you have to have only one avatar shown to upload, my mistake!

[oblique storm]

this is the matcap I made for a cell shaded look with an "outline" effect

you can try it and if you like it then cool but idk if its what you want

[broken kernel]

I wanna try it I’ve been looking for something like that

Like please I love avis with that effect

How thick are the outlines?

[oblique storm]

I tried to make em thick enough to be easily noticeable, but not overwhelming

this is an example of it put on an avatar I did. This is the Quest version using that matcap

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1079255002675171358/1125221696668958771/image.png

Medium performance rank as well, only held back by a slightly too high poly count. Otherwise it woulda been Good performance rank

but if you do use it and like it but the lines are too thick or something, you can quite literally take that matcap into any image manipulation software like Photoshop or GIMP and push back the black rim of the circle replacing it with the respective shade of gray

[broken kernel]

Ahh tbh I like what I’m trying to go for it the type of lines the most fnf avatars have around them i know there’s like this blender way to do it but I heard it sucks so I’m just trying to find a matcap that can do that effect

[oblique storm]

in blender you could set it up to use backface culling to your advantage and make an outline out of it, but doing so also doubles the poly count. This is because you make that effect by literally copying all of the polygons, scaling what you copied up a bit (the amount determines the size of the outline) and then reverse the direction they are facing

this works cause polygons technically have a "forward" facing side. Its why if you stick your head into someone you can see through them, you are looking through the back side of their polygons

and since game engines need to render what is on screen many many times a second, they have to cut any corner they can, so if you are never going to really see the backside of a polygon, why waste time rendering it? Hence Unity and all game engines do not render the backside of polygons, or better known as "Backface Culling"

[broken kernel]

Ahh I could try to do that but the kinda problem to that is k don’t really know where that is exactly haha. I’m kinda inexperienced but not really to put it in into terms i kinda figured out matcaps today and just wondering around to see if there was a huge shortcut to outlines around avatars using a certain matcap so I wouldn’t have to touch blender because I don’t really know how to work blender well

[oak sequoia]

Does anyone have some anime avatars in the making

[void grove]

Hey who here is good at uploading avatars? I've got an avatar I'm trying to upload but I'm having some issues converting it to quest, anyone willing to help me out?

[south depot]

What's the avatar?

[void grove]

It's this avatar called sir ink, spent a few hours working on it with a homie

We got close but i still gotta tinker with it a bit more and ask around

But gonna do that on another day, im flying to Italy right now so

[south depot]

I can help questify it- just dm me and we can figure something out

[void grove]

Sure thing homie, I appreciate it

[cobalt gorge]

Dm me if you make vrchat avatars for free

[nimble prairie]

This isn’t the place to ask for coms you’ll just get scammers and no one’s gonna make an avatar from scratch for free

[bitter shuttle]

Can anyone explain how my physbones work in unity but not in vrc for my quest avatar?

[south depot]

Did you set them to be grabbable ?

[oblique storm]

what do you mean by "work?"

if they aren't there at all, you probably went over the limit of either one or both of the physbone component limit or the physbone transform limit which will disable the physbones on quest

[bitter shuttle]

Don't think so

[bitter shuttle]

If I went over the limit, I wouldn't be able to upload it

[versed notch]

is there a way i can achive this look for quest if not ill just do a way less optimized way of doing hairs btw i need Alpha for this

[oblique storm]

You can still upload, it will just disable all of the physbones components

[oblique storm]

No, you cannot use alpha transparency on quest, at least for avatars

Unlike desktop GPUs, the quest doesn’t have the hardware to specify handle transparency which makes it very, very expensive on quest

[bitter shuttle]

Oh really ? I'd have to re look at it

[still tusk]

Is it just me or the toon shader is bugged?

[still tusk]

I tested using other shaders and it goes fine.

[oblique storm]

It’s most likely using vertex colors, a lot of the quest shaders like to do that. It is really useful, but if ya don’t know it’s there or what it’s doing it can be annoying and confusing

[pastel storm]

Does anyone know where to find a laurie strode avatar?

[nimble rain]

Probably a long shot on this but I saw once this character as an avatar on vrchat and I have no clue who made it or where to find it and I do believe it may be private, but does anyone have an idea?
The character belongs to staticapplesin and he is named “Alacyn”

[oblique storm]

https://discord.com/channels/189511567539306508/801557685300363335

[nimble rain]

I put it there before i put it here too, did it here just in case

mainly did it cause its a quest compatible avatar so

[nimble prairie]

As much as it makes sense this isn’t for searching avatars tho

[nimble rain]

my apologies

[nimble prairie]

All good

[solemn orchid]

so i'm tryna make two 2d avatars but i can't figure out how to make them double-sided or transparent, how do i make them transparent and double-sided?

[reef pewter]

You cant set anything transparent you would have to delete some of the tris for that

the double sided would just copy paste the first side

you could also use blender to achive a better rating for the avatar since just copy pasting the same block would drop it

[solemn orchid]

yeah i was following what someone else told me to do but i'm a bit stumped on how to put the image onto it in blender

like i did this and made the mesh do the flip thing but can't figure out how to put the image on there

[reef pewter]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh94KYr0KeA&ab_channel=MrDoggoGuy

maybe easier to just send this to you then explaining and sending bunch of things

[solemn orchid]

my sdk builder broke

fixed that but now it's just not appearing when i build and test

[bitter shuttle]

How do you reduce Physbone Transform count?

[solemn orchid]

So i'm tryna make the Neco-Arc Chaos by MetaYoutou Quest-Compatible since it's PC-Only but when i change the shader on his hands, this happens. how do i fix this so the fingers and props don't appear?

and how to fix the discoloration that happens to every texture when i make it a quest compatible shader

[oblique storm]

reduce the number of bones the phys bone components are affecting

[cedar crystal]

I'm using the Blender outline trick and normally it exports fine with the outline but now it just...stopped??

Like I'm doing everything the exact same, it just won't export with the added mats anymore for no reason

[timber juniper]

Are you applying the solidify to the model?

[keen ember]

looks like this model has vertex paint. i think you'd need to remove that in blender

[solemn orchid]

oh fun, blender.

[cedar crystal]

It won't let me apply it with shapekeys for some reason

😭

I've exported it fine before which is what confuses me

Wait I think I have an idea

I did it, I duplicated the model then put the shader on then deleted the shapekeys from the outline

[fair drift]

Hey. I don't actually have a quest but I'm trying to make an avatar for someone that's quest compatable. Is this the right chat for questions?

[nimble prairie]

Yep

[pearl thicket]

What is the tool that automatic convert your avatar into quest compatible ?

[pastel storm]

VRCQuestTools

[pastel storm]

What channel is fitting for asking for an avatar made i have this idea I got from somone and I really need this as an avi

[young thicket]

There is no channel appropriate for that on this server, anyone who contacts you is likely a scammer. You will want to inquire in the VRCTraders server instead: #community-servers-old message

[gentle owl]

i've had this problem for three days straight, and no matter how many polygons there are there's never android support for it and the sdk never tells me why

i've had it at 20.000, 15,000 and 10.000

[reef pewter]

Poor med and med

[reef pewter]

There is mobile support, just not as a fallback. Fallbacks require everything to be lowered, not just polygon count.

Also to hit good rating it’s 9,999

[gentle owl]

i didn't have it at exactly 10.00, i had it around 9.600 something

[reef pewter]

Should be fine for polygons
