Why can’t quest avatars have audio? What’s stopping them from adding it? It would make the quest experience a million times better.
pale torrent
I don’t think it’s the audio that’s lagging it, its probably unoptimized worlds or avatars. Audio just seems like such a simple thing to have.
abstract ether
Believe it or not, it's quite demanding regardless of being on pc. The audio already glitches enough on pc. It was even worse on quest, everyone sounded like robots from time to time from the audio stuttering hard even though you had plenty of extra bandwidth. So just from having like 10 people in public world with most avatars being not visible and others being new users with default crossplatform avatars.

How do I start creating the inside of my avatar's mouth? I've got a general lip-shape on the surface, but I don't know how to "make an open space on the inside of my model."

Does anybody make custom avatars for people? I have a hard time doing it myself.

well, yes, with the right amount of money
pale torrent
It can be pricey though, it’s not very easy

I mean some do it for free if it's not from scratch but like a base and parts
Or recolors
pastel storm
@pliant sparrow thats kind of what i mean by it.
pliant sparrow
Put togethers?

well its kind of a template recolor, but i wanted some extra parts attached.

I do not think it’s the avatar itself, I’ve been having the same issue since the update and I put a empty object with a avatar descriptor and it still popped up. I’ve been asking in the servers and nothing anyone suggested helped me, but some people are saying to use the original unity ( if you find a solution please @ me, sorry I can’t really help but it’s nice to know I’m not the only on e with the issue which means vrchat might notice and fix it possibly)

@knotty nest I found a world with a bunch of clone trooper avatars if that's up your alley. I'll check what its called later today when I can get on if you like.
Just @ me if you like, I have this server muted otherwise

Any rdr2 avatars sorry to ask again
Hold on @pale torrent I’m no bot if your talking to me I don’t know why that happens
dusty osprey
Its the mention of a certain website! Does that i believe cuz the website is overall considered bad (ripped stuff, bad moderation, etc.) and the vrc devs prob dont wanna point ppl there. So! Name of website is blocked.

Hello anyone could help me with a texture issue on my quest ready project?
mention me @gleaming fractal
this is my issue
i have been fixing my avatar for quest and i do have a version current quest compatible
but i have red textures and when i use the VRChat/ Mobile / Toon Lit
the texture color changes to green
any ideass?
dry zealot
delete vertex color in blender

ohh my but
what if i cant do that
idk blender at all
also
why cant i use this shader if its mobile
@dry zealot
compact lily
It's sorta broken.
gleaming fractal
oof
compact lily
You used to be able to.
dry zealot
because that shader you vertex color data. not the case for the other
gleaming fractal
any other shader i can use that does not use it
merry arch
Diffuse should produce similar results
gleaming fractal
nope
errant dirge
you need to remove vertex color data in blender
gleaming fractal
thanks but green avatar it is
dry zealot
People are sad that my jedi avatar have a opaque saber since the last update. I use the particle shader on it so its was transparent and super bright. But now it not . I guess. 
That's how its suppose to be. On pc when shader is off its opaque now too. as before it was transparent.
merry arch
I'm pretty sure the shader itself was changed rather than how client renders the shader
So you could just take the shader from old SDK and use it
Alternatively just wait until alpha blended gets added to whitelisted shaders along with the new sprite shaders, why they haven't been whitelisted from get go - god knows

Am confuzzled if I did this right, trying to make the collar attached to the body because it just floats in the air instead of following the body
pale stream
omg please merge your meshes
pale torrent
yeah merge your meshes and also all of the names in the armature are very vague. I also noticed that the name of the unity project says my first unity, if this is your first time I recommend just trying it on the tutorial avatar instead.
@merry arch I haven’t updated my stuff yet since I’ve heard about a lot of bugs people are coming across in the new sdk. I use the older version and it’s the same deal. I had wings on an avatar set to particles additive and it looked really cool but now they’re opaque

Dont worry, there are tools to make avatar creation a lot easier, like CAtS plugin for blender. Just practice and ask questions in this server.
shy sonnet
Oki
errant dirge
Because you are beginner you don’t understand how performance avatar is, seeing that almost gave me a conniption.
Merging meshes is a huge performance boost
shy sonnet
So how do I grab the avatar from unity and put it in blender?
errant dirge
The model file will be in your unity assets, just have to find it. You can right click -> show in explorer
shy sonnet
I decided to restart entirely, now on blender and having issues with eye tracking
pliant sparrow
(if someone didn't answer the collar issue, collars should be attached to the neck so it doesn't fling around in the air)

The nanachi model should allready have eye tracking

@void mango By animation textures I’m going to assume you just mean animation gestures? I would try to re make them from scratch and see if that does it, should only take maybe 5 minutes to do so.
also @dapper ore Try re installing again. I’ve personally never had that issue but it’s probably a bug. Either that or you logged into the wrong account.
dapper ore
@pale torrent 1. I got only one account. 2. I've tried re installing 3 times

so I noticed in the new updates avatars now have audio but when I try uploading avatars with audio I still get the components error thing on the SDK
basically my question is how do I get audio on avatars
compact lily
no. They were probably playing something through their mic.
merry arch
They're just abusing the new Oculus audio component that was added in SDK
lapis ember
I figured out how to do it
it's kind of a glitch around it
if you update the upload menu when you delete all the audio stuff at one time, then hit ctrl + z to make them appear back then hit the upload button before the SDK refreshes to see if there's anything that shouldn't be there
compact lily
Don't do that though.

Hey
pale torrent
So what’s the deal with the audio glitch? I’ve seen avatars with 27/0 audio sources in worlds with 13+ people and I don’t crash or black screen once. I think it’s clear that avatar audio can run just fine on quest.
merry arch
If you're talking about the corona ones they're using very low quality short loop so it doesn't generate much load
merry arch
You start running into problems with avatars that have full length songs and high bitrate samples
pale torrent
Still though, it can be done (with some limits)
Just automatically lower the bit rate in the game or somethin like that right?
merry arch
SDK does not check what is the audio source, it only checks for presence of audio source
pale torrent
makes sense. So far it seems a majority of the quest community is ok with a little bit more lag if we get audio. I’ve talked to plenty of people about it.
merry arch
Client itself does not support audio resampling not to mention that would be even more load on CPU than just playing the audio in first place
Ultimately it would take extra work on SDK
pale torrent
That makes sense but it still seems like a possibility. After all in safety settings audio is an option, whereas shaders aren’t. Shaders are a given and damn well shouldn’t be on quest, but there is an option for audio. Makes me wonder if they were thinking about adding it at some point.
From what I’ve heard they don’t have a very good way to test updates for the quest. Why not just put the limit to one and see how things go?

How do I upload an avatar to VRChat?
worldly flame
Hey There I have a question about using an avatar for quest, I uploaded a avatar on VR chat only to find out that it was PC only so then I re-did the Project in unity and set it to the android version and it seems to of worked but when I entered the game on my quest I could not see the avatar in my creations but I could see the PC Avatar, so I was wondering why I can’t see my newly made quest avatar on my creations menu and I also went to the VR chat website browser and it was showing up in my creations there but again not in the game. Please help.

I noticed that I just had to make my version of unity the same as the one they use for VR so problem solved if anyone else wanted to know.

Its still being figured out exactly how to add audio to a quest avatar @timid nexus
lapis ember
the Moon Man avatar causes 0 lag and has full songs also with a ton of effects and the only time it lags is when 5 people have the avatar on and are spamming all the guns
so yeah I don't understand why they don't just add audio availability to the Quest
long talon
do this for me. get this avatar https://vrchat.com/home/avatar/avtr_f0f6139f-bb74-46b7-94da-a901d50e0fcd
in this world
https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_2d7bc532-63bd-495d-b1de-9d8ea37a9c0d
and get 20 people
you will lag from the audio processing alone
lapis ember
well duh that's 20 people
lapis ember
on Quest you'll get lag from just 10 people standing around in regular avatars
long talon
oh youre not getting me
at all
I just gave you the link to an avatar thats 0 materials and 0 polygons
and a world thats 0 polygons, just an empty blue skybox
the quest would not be rendering anything other than a blue background and nameplates
more than 10 folks in that will still lag you
because audio processing is costly
and cant be gpu accelerated
in fact, the next gen consoles (Xbox Series X and PS5) are getting dedicated chips for this type of stuff to get incredible amounts of audio channels with realtime spatialized audio and proper raycasted reverb to reproduce the acoustics of a room and it's materials
and because nobody understands how complicated audio processing is, they dont see how badass it is
decoding an mp3 and playing it back is easy
giving it a believable position in space with HRTF transfer in realtime isnt
timid nexus
i tryed to add audio to my avatar and it didnt work
on one avatar the build panel remove it
and on ohter the animation is playing but wihout the sound
wait my bad it was unchecked
now it wont allow me to publish
i see i am not at the last version of the sdk
pastel storm
You're not supposed to add Audio to your avatar in the first place
charred granite
I dont think the Quest accepts audio from avatars, or at least we cant upload audio on avatars as far as I know.
dry zealot
I think there is a problem when an avatar is ranked very poor on pc and it use on the quest as well. insame amount of material mesh etc
pastel storm
Can someone possibly recommend or send shaders compatible for Quest? (This is my first time attempting a Quest model so I'm not sure what to use.)
charred granite
You can only use the shaders included in the SDK (The mobile shader.) For avatars at least. https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/quest-content-optimization
pastel storm
Ooh I see.. also another question, is it possible to add dynamic bones to Quest models? (I've seen some cross-play models with dynamic bones.)
dusty osprey
Nope its blacklisted! You can have dynamic bones on the pc version, but you cant on the quest version
pastel storm
That's weird.. okay.
Last question, is there a way to add an outline to Quest models?
blazing meteor
Yes, use VRChat/mobile/matcap and have a matcap texture that is a white circle with a black outline
The thickness of the outline determines the effect
pastel storm
I'm using that and I don't see the outline??
How do I actually get it to come into play?
blazing meteor
It’s the matcap slot
Put in a texture that is a white circle with black outline
You have to make it yourself

It's a bug.

I heard a rumor they might just not remove the glitch. On top of that it’s surprisingly not that hard on the quest. I’ve done extensive testing with it.
pale torrent
Obviously I doubt the rumor that the glitch won’t be removed but I really hope so.
And you can’t even make audio purposefully laggy either due to the quest file size limit.
pale torrent
well, you can on a super low poly avatar that doesn’t take up much space maybe but that’s why safety settings exist/hide avatar lol

Anyone know how to fix this its been like this ever since the update (Theres no model no textures just a empty game object with a descriptor)
dry zealot
pliant sparrow
Tried all of that but there's no model to even apply those settings to
Just a empty game object with a descriptor there's no mesh no texture no assets no polys so idk why it still says 103.25 mb (which it's doing for every single model)
pliant sparrow
Only the empty game object with a descriptor there's nothing connected to it
pliant sparrow
Hold on let me get a new project and show what's happening better cause I'm bad at explaining
(the other project broke)
Actualy that will take longer
So there's absolutely nothing in the project exept for what comes with unity, and the sdk
I put a empty game object in the scene and added a avatar descriptor (and the only reason I did this was to test if it was my avatar or my unity/sdk causing the issue)
So basically there's absolutely nothing but a avatar descriptor in the scene so idk why it's still saying the mb is above 10.00
I've had this issue since the update, tried everything I've seen be told as solutions here and nothing has worked
pastel storm
Was this a pack you downloaded though?
That was 103 MB
There should always be a mainmodel though, so I dont know what you should really do
pliant sparrow
No there's literally no pack from anything it's all empty and Im going to put a cube in to see if that changes anything
pale torrent
Download something from vrcm0ds and see what happens when you use it then. That’s the only thing I think will work.
pliant sparrow
probably the same thing but allright gimme a second
its doing it for older models that ive uploaded before the update so its just reading it as to big no matter what i do

I’m pretty sure it’s not breaking tos. They would’ve removed the glitch in the update a couple of days ago if that were the case. And on top of that there is no reason for quest not to run audio. I’ve done extensive testing with the glitch and it’s impossible to lag with just audio.
pastel storm
i have a moon avatar a friend gave me and i can hear the music and all the guns firing when i use and when they use it...i play on the quest without the link cable so just standalone quest, i was blown away that i could hear this avatar because i didn't think i'd be able to hear when my friend wanted to show me

There's also dynamic bone on quest for some avatars. Idk why but when my PC friends are playing as the ferret models theres dynamic bone but when a quest player uses it there isn't. Maybe there finally introducing some PC things to the quest?
spice schooner
https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/avatar-performance-ranking-system If they have dynamic bones it's probably an exploit since that's not at all supported on Quest.
pastel storm
I saw a couple of quest avatars with music, does anyone know how to do specially do it
does it need to be in a game object specifically ? Just want to know with screenshots on unity
dusty osprey
The pc version of the model can have the dynamic bones, but the quest version cant.
pastel storm
The pc version of the model can have the dynamic bones, but the quest version cant.
@dusty osprey yasss this is true
pale torrent
There’s a whole world called quest dynamic bones that shows off dynamic bones in a quest only world. It’s too much to be made with animation, it’s undoubtedly true dynamic bones. I went there with 5 other people and my frames only dropped by 5 with three dancers with multiple dynamic bones.
spice schooner
I'm not sure of Quest world limits so maybe dynamic bones are officially supported in Quest worlds, but not Quest avatars.
pliant sparrow
Ive watched a avatar with dynamic bones many times and I've never connected my quest to a PC
I probably explained it wrong but, when the PC players are playing as the ferrets from notakids world i see the dynamic bone
spice schooner
Oh, I meant officially supported. I don't doubt it exists on the Quest version but it's not supposed to, at least based on the Avatar performance ranking page I linked.
dry zealot
you can put dyna in world

it seems like if dynamic bones are on any bones in the humanoid definition (like the ferrets), it gets transferred over network IK

Does anyone know how to put an avatar into a world I don't have a pc to do it. But i do have the avatar file its Zuko from Avatar the Last Airbender.
compact lily
Sadly, you need a PC to upload an avatar.
toxic geode
Yeah I know. Does anyone know if there is a quest Zuko avatar anywhere.
compact lily
You could use a mac if you have one.
toxic geode
I'm on a macbook air but it can't run anything like unity or vrchat client.
compact lily
Unity is pretty low resources.
toxic geode
I used to have it installed but since I can't run the vrchat client there is no point in using it. I'm just trying to see if someone knows where I can get a Zuko avatar or can put one in a world if not its fine.

petition to allow audio on quest avatars by default, but with volume restriction

I think the volume is okay, I think it needs 3D sound limitations.

Yeah, people glitch audio onto their avatars, so it should be a thing already

i have a skipper avatar that plays music so its a thing already
petition to stop ALL crashes, black screens, and lag for no reason
who is with me
storm summit
... they're trying. it's not a one click fix
timber mortar
@pastel storm that avatar had audio uploaded by using a Unity glitch.
Audio isn't officially allowed by the SDK on Quest avatars yet.
It should be, as it doesn't really affect performance as long as limits are in place,and a lot of us avatar creators like to animate to songs.
fair quarry
So Is there a shader than can be used with quest that has alpha transparency?
fair quarry
well that crappy -.- Thanks
pale torrent
I think all they need to do to stop crashing/lag is slower loading times
merry arch
This isn't really because of loading times but because of the 2018 C++ runtime conversion/translation
It uses more memory, now add the usual memory leaks on top of that and you'll be out of available memory faster
pastel storm
Does anyone else think its weird that there are PC avatars that can be seen with Dynamic bones on quest?
pale torrent
???
I know that worlds can have dynamic bones on quest but I’ve never seen dynamic bones on an avatar before. I’m pretty sure you can glitch it in just like audio but it gets laggy quick.
pale torrent
Wack
storm summit
is it the ferret
bc that's still not dynamic bones running on the quest, that's them being pushed over network ik by the pc user. it's really dumb and confusing but yeah
merry arch
You can get similar effect with FinalIK but that will obviously mean making your own animator
pastel storm
@storm summit my friend made a naked sans
storm summit
so a skeleton essentially
what i said still applies
also, is finalik even whitelisted on quest??
pastel storm
Confusing
storm summit
yeah it's confusing but i get why it happens
stoic pendant

On Quest?
if someone make a pepsi man avatar and uploads it to Android then YES
if they do not upload it to Android and only PC then NO
@stoic pendant
@quick kite if you want the model to lower in file then lower its Texture res and quality
you do this by going to Unity click on the textures of the model, then use the inspector tab and change the Res and Quality of the textures
then upload on pc so it will detect theres less and upload it to quest

They do, but they aren't allowed.

You can, you just really have to dedicate some time to a Youtube video. Trust me, I'm not the brightest person and I was able to learn Unity and Blender. My plan at the time was just a basic avatar through Unity and that spilled over into Blender. It gets addicting... Now I have a cursed avatar world with about 50 avatars. Lol

Question
timid nexus
thats the samething
but sadly you cant have dynamic bones on quest
it can barely run without them XD
pale torrent
There’s that one quest dynamic bones world that runs smoothly. It has 3 dancers each with jiggle physics, hair physics, tail physics, and clothes physics. I know that you can have dynamic bones in world but not on avatars but I wonder if it actually could run it decently?
dry zealot
I see you want to crash even more
compact lily
how about 1 dyna bone max per avatar, if any more it blue screens your computer during upload.
dusty osprey
Are you left tit jiggle club or right tit jiggle club
compact lily
i was more thinking hair
dusty osprey
THAT makes more sense tbh-
compact lily
Or you could paint both to one bone.
dusty osprey
That would be interesting to watch!
blazing vault
So the sdk tells me to use mobile shaders but when i use mobile shaders it says i cant use the standard shader even tho the model doesnt have a single standard shader on it
pastel storm
@blazing vault you probably already fixed it but if not theres something on your model that has a shader thats not on the main body

So I Haven't made a vrchat model in at least a year, getting a quest soon and I got a question, I know the quest has limits on what it can see, but I make it so the model has a pc version will pc players see stuff like that?
For example if I move something with dynamic bones even tho I can't see it will pc players see it
Also, can I have stuff like guns and swords show up on the model for the quest?

split shuttle
hey, a little help someone, please
compact lily
I could help.
split shuttle
I wanna attach this lightning bolt to an avatar using the additive shader (Like in pic 1) however, (from past experience) in-game, the additive shader doesn't work and so it looks like pic 2 in-game
I would use an actual lightning particle effect but i don't know how to use them
compact lily
Sadly, Cutout is too expensive, so you'll have to try the other particles.
Or the other shaders.
split shuttle
alpha blended is apparently unsupported despite being in the mobile shader area and multiply doesn't work
compact lily
Alpha Blended is a world shader.
split shuttle
ah
merry arch
If it's mesh particle you could use legacy shader like soft edge cutout directly by setting material from animation but it's animator abuse so it will not animate for people that aren't looking at you
If it's sprite tuff luck
compact lily
but you can't use the legacy shaders on quest.
merry arch
Legacy shaders are fallback shaders of engine so you can force fallback by calling MaterialID, PathID and ShaderID from inside animation
compact lily
You can't upload it.
merry arch
You have to manually write the animation file obviously, you can't set this from inside editor
You're not uploading anything, you're using animation to request fallback shader from within engine

split shuttle
ok
plush lion
so
when uploading an avatar for quest that is specified under "very poor" it is automatically not shown on quest
by that logic, just having a warning message saying there will be a decrease in performance show up before showing a very poor avatar would make sense, yes?
therefor, people can upload an avatar, with however many polys or whatever
because its BLOCKED BY DEFAULT on the system
dusty osprey
I mean, you have the ability to, but a 55k 32 material model will probably crash a quest user
dusty osprey
O! Yeah i forgot there were some hard limits in there
A quest doesnt have the same power a pc does so it cant handle as much. Which is why avatars have to be that much more optimized
plush lion
the devs dont give the quest enough credit for what it can actually do
im not saying the quest has an i9 9900k or a 2080ti or something
dusty osprey
I think you’re giving it too much credit, considering that 32 materials is im pretty sure poor for even pc. Thats 32 different drawcalls to put on the system. 52k tris is more than the recommend amount for a single world on quest. Everytime you move, the system has to calculate every tri moving in space.
You also have to consider that the world and also up to 9? (Forgot the max for a quest world) other ppl have to be rendered, not just the avatar
And while its doin that it also has to consider ur boundaries, position in space, position of ur hands...
plush lion
yeah, but these kinds of avatars were standard on quest for a long time
and i have a router that always seems to be just about to catch fire, so the fact im not getting that many lagouts, and none of the quest users I hang out with (whos avatars are WORSE (more polys/materials) than mine) and we only lag out on VERY rare occassions
dusty osprey
Im pretty sure we’ve had these limits since the beginning of vrchat quest use?
plush lion
nope
Ive been using that same avatar base model for MONTHS now
there are much worse avatars than what im using
what im using is relatively tame, considering a lot of the other stuff youll find on quest
plush lion
they are
they were no where to be seen 2 weeks ago
I have the feeling (i may be wrong about this) but it feels like the devs have never actually USED the quest version of the game, and only go off of the reviews
and then start making the Quest version even buggier and unusable than before
pale torrent
Yeah I’m pretty sure no one on the team has a quest to test updates. If not it definitely seems like that
pastel storm
how to see perf blocked avatars?
manic lagoon
mini menu, click user, show avatar
split shuttle
Oh shit, didn't know you were on here Luf0u. To back your point and HoodieGurl's. It is obvious that no one on the team has a quest which then brings in the neglect of the quest platform. I know the quest isn't a NASA computer but still, we are heavily limited. Before the April 1st update, I'd say VRChat was perfect for quest then. Worked and performed better than it does now. These new updates are more than obviously pc based and with the current state of VRChat on quest (Crashing every 5-10 mins is a key area and yes, i time how long it takes for me to crash) Its shown that the team might somewhat regret making a quest VRChat port.

hey, whats a good resolution for quest texture(s)? 1k? 2k? less than that?
to anyone who knows the answer to this
nvm i found it burried in the docs
merry arch
Well it really depends what is the texture
If it's relatively simple keeping it at 1k is best, if it's large combined atlas you might need 2k or 4k for it to work
Ultimately it boils down to what kind of texture it is and how high can you afford to compress it
storm summit
its an atlas but its not like super complex so i went for 1k
merry arch
If the textures that were atlas input are lowres you can easily get away with lowres atlas as well, if you had one or few hires textures as input you should adjust the atlas res to reflect the highest resolution texture as possible
Which is why it's usually good idea to downscale all your input textures to same lower resolution

latent tulip
how can i tell if my model is quest compatible, the only thing its showing me is the poly count in the builder screen :/
which is only like 22k
nevermind thats also too high for quest...thought it was higher than that lol
blazing meteor
10K or under for quest, ideally between 5000 and 7500.
It really exemplifies the difference between handmade models and decimation. You can do a lot with 5000, and look amazing, yet even with 10K, twice as much, decimation will look horrible.
merry arch
Also there's quest compatible and quest optimised. Just about anything can be quest compatible if you slap mobile shaders on it - and 22k is still pretty low compared to most popular quest compatible avatars. Quest optimised on other hand will require some actual modeling
compact lily
I'm pretty sure they're adding a hard limit of 20k tris soon.
merry arch
Which is reasonable if you don't go overboard with materials
humble rune
how much would it cost to have one made for me?
spice schooner
I think usually more than $100
humble rune
I dont want one that bad
blazing meteor
“Hard limit of 20K tris soon”
I’d rather the hard limit be 10k.
I hide everyone above 10K and sill lag like crazy
And then I lag and can’t see anyone
7.5K is the limit for being visible by default so 10K as a hard cap makes more sense
merry arch
10k poly difference is hardly relevant if materials and meshes are properly baked and people don't slap 8k textures on it
Look at it this way, I can make medium rating crasher just by abusing animators and high resolution textures, more than anything we need better performance rating criteria
blazing meteor
a single material avatar quest still chokes on a single 20K avatar alone in the vrc home
Try it
All hardware is the same
merry arch
Anything chokes in default home since default home is unoptimised garbage
blazing meteor
Touché
merry arch
Which is why first thing everyone should do is set something else as their home
blazing meteor
Still, I cannot see any avatar render above 7500 tris yet I still lag. I wouldn’t want to see 20000
At least with no hard limit the only “natural” limit is 10K so that’s what people gravitate to. Place a hard cap at 20K and suddenly everyone will make 20k avatars
merry arch
I would be hard pressed to find anyone in my friends list that uses avatars under 15k polys yet I chug along on 40 FPS stable most of time, being in world like pug west or black cat will make quest crawl no matter what avatars are around
Ultimately it's all speculation, we have no real info what limits if any there will be
blazing meteor

I think people are just using wasteful avatars

worthy sage
@alpine night I'm aware this is a bit late after you posted this but if you haven't solved it yet then see if this works.
Make sure you aren't using calculate for blendshape normals this can and will most likely cause the file size of the avatar to explode in size.
Also ensure your texture resolution isn't that high, I've noticed that you have 10 materials (not recommended for quest btw) ensure the texture resolution of these is set relatively low like 1024x1024, 512x512, or lower.

fickle granite
My friend wants me to make an avatar for him. What is the recommended number of polygons what is the recommended texture size?
compact lily
For Quest, less than 10k tris, and texture size should be 1k or less.
@fickle granite
merry arch
Keep in mind you have to scale textures before you atlas them, if you already atlased with different texture resolutions you have to use resolution that's close to highest resolution texture used in atlas to avoid scaling artifacts
tawdry zephyr
Also if they haven't said this @alpine night you can also decimate the model, this to helps with the problem also maybe lowering the quality of the texture sometimes that helps
merry arch
I would very much recommend AGAINST using Unity's built-in crunch for textures and models, the results are terrible
timid nexus
on quest its more like under 100k poly
merry arch
If you're porting MMD model you'll be hard pressed to get it under 20k but you should always start by decimating hair separately and if the body comes with pubic hair you can remove it to save good 20k polys (yes commonly used MMD pubic hair is 20k polys)

Girl or just a neko that quest users can see
Does anyone know of a quest avatar world that may contain those types of avatars?
@dark lodge
Sorry, can't help you out there. Can't sya I have seen one, actually. You could try the 'Beeplanet Alpha' world?

If by neon type glow you mean emission standard lite will do the trick, if you mean some sort of soft outline glow then you'll have to experiment with matcap

Funny, right when I come in here to ask about a working neon type material its already answered

Is there a way to separate a texture? I downloaded a model and theres only one material of the body, kinda frustrating to edit certain parts of it when the whole thing changes color
dry zealot
What you mean change color
spice schooner
Either edit the texture itself in a photo editing software or split the mesh into multiple parts in a 3d editing program. For Quest though one material is a good idea where and when you can.

I need help
I was creating my model and i think I disabled light and idk how to fix it.
Nvm i fixed ot

It's gonna be released in 3 days from what I heard

anyone seen where an avatar in android looks like the 3D is messed up when looking at it in the preview window on the menu?
like the avatar works fine in world, but just in the preview it's like the image is skewed and part of it is way off to the right
its a model I had for windows that I optimized for android
stuck topaz
pic? @hot wadi
If anyone can help me with optimizing this mess ill be forever in your debt
hot wadi
doesn't really show up in the quest screenshot
in VR that ban model is also on the right side of the screen
like the alignment of left and right eyes is way off but just for that model

Question: Can I upload avatars with "Generic Rig" for Quest?
In the screenshot below, "build & publish" button is disabled, although this avatar seems not to hit any hard limitation (like shaders or components) to upload. For PC, I can upload this.
merry arch
Animation set has to be none for generics
Otherwise there's nothing that should block
floral charm
Setting "Default Animation Set" to none works! Thanks.

Does anyone got the old version of blender because I'm not sure about this one...
dense ravine
If you run blender through steam you can switch it to v2.79
mild prairie
Thanks my guy
mild prairie
how to switch it to 2.79?
blazing meteor
I don’t want to tell you what to do but I strongly recommend keeping the newest blender. Especially if you are starting new. It’s different but better. Best to rip the bandaid off now instead of in 5 years and you have to learn it all then
Otherwise tutorials will never match up

I try to upload a avatar for the quest but I get the error ''AndroidPlayer is disabeld'' and the SDK still says ''Build & Publish for Windows''
any idea if this is right or wrong?
or does it HAS to be <5k poly and 1 materials?
I tried uploading a simple mesh of 120 polygons and 1 material and that doesn't work either. same error message
lyric raptor
I'll see
dense ravine
Go to installs and select add modules on the version you want to install it to
blazing meteor
It does not to be 5K, but it should be under 10K. The 49K avatar you are uploading will simply crash anyone who is unfortunate enough to unblock you. @lyric raptor
blazing meteor
But yes it is not related to why it’s not working right now I’m just saying
lyric raptor
oh well. no quest I guess
blazing meteor
It’s only saying the avatar is good because it’s rating it as a pc avatar. Once you switch to Android mode you will see all the red... above 5000 is yellow. above 7500 is red... above 10000 is very poor .
Dissolve unneeded edge loops in blender, it’s easy mode for quest versions
Way less destructive than decimation

how to install cats in this new version
dry zealot
Same way

Im having some trouble with making an avatar. I have every bone on the model mapped but the Control Panel refuses to say that they are
And I went into the configure menu to make sure they are
blazing meteor
Print screen the hands in bone config
dense ravine
Like I said, all the bones are mapped
but for some reason the control panel just isnt recognizing it
blazing meteor
Can you print screens the entire control panel
dense ravine
Do you think you'd be able to figure out whats going on if I sent you the project file?
blazing meteor
I’m wondering if the errors are not correct and it’s actually blocking upload due to the skinned meshes. the max allowed is 2.
You have 12
That’s def not gonna render on quest
Materials as well. Max allowed is 4 you have 12
I’d be curious if other errors vanish if you fix those
Quest is mobile chip it really can’t handle ton of separate meshes and materials. Link them up in blender and it will probably let it in. My guess is the error is just wrong. It knows it’s not allowed but isn’t telling you the right reason why
dense ravine
I just merged it into two meshes so well see
Merging the meshes ruined the textures so
lethal basin
Hey there! Best practice for not ruining the meshes and their UV is going into the object data and making sure everything is set to the default UVMap! I ran into this issue all the time but it just take a few more minutes to get dialed in! 🙂
The best vid for reference to make sure everything is set properly before being imported into Unity would be Tupper's avatar tutorial that makes sure your armature hierarchy is correct or else the rigging will not be recognized in the correct order! One sec while I grab the link @dense ravine
First, this is for atlasing which preps your meshes and textures properly!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cSesu_zkQQ
And then this one for rigging the armature properly so it's recognized correctly in Unity! :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrCCl_F9XNs
Hoping these help!
dense ravine
Ok so I tried using a different method by using an mmd model
but Im still having the same issue
blazing meteor
No reason merging meshes should change the textures in any way.
If you don't mind me having the project I'd be happy to find what the issue is @dense ravine
What does the uploader pane look like now?
dense ravine
The uploader pane?
blazing meteor
yes the pane with the upload button, what's it look like now that you made changes
dense ravine
If youre talking about the control panel then this is what it looks like for the new model
Should i just send the project file here or through dms?
blazing meteor
If you want to. I haven't seen this issue before
blazing meteor
For historical purposes: The issue was optimized game objects was checked in Rig config. gotta be unchecked
dense ravine
Do I need to upload the avatar for both Quest and Windows for it to appear on both platforms?
lethal basin
That's correct @dense ravine!
dense ravine
Thanks so much for the help!
lethal basin
Yay!!!

Optimised object settings will break humanoid IK, it should only be used for generic rigs and even then it doesn't really do anything for VRC
pastel storm
lmao, i thought a subject here just ended. i guess ill come back latter then
finite crest
@pastel storm Of course you can make an avatar for yourself. If its for quest, make sure to read up on the documentation on how to limit your avatar to optimize it properly and upload it properly
