[charred patio]

Where Might one be able to find a really tiny avali avatar?

[proud merlin]

you could upload one and just make smol

[pastel storm]

hewo o/ anyone here does commissions for quest avatars? dm me please /o/

[woven rune]

I forgot, does VRChat use quest avatars as LOD's for their PC counterparts?

[jagged sequoia]

nope and it couldn't even do that if it wanted to

because the quest avatars are compiled for Android

[charred patio]

Does anyone kmow where i can find an anthro umbreon vr avatar? Im really hoping to use it as my main avatar and maybe find someone who can change the colors in unity or something for me

[empty fiber]

Anyone knows how to fix this issue in Quest.
So in Unity The avatar looks fine but on the Quest well some part of the head is kinda has a hole.

[eager wadi]

Is there jumpscare Avatars on Quest?

[broken mesa]

Hi I have quest btw but my problem is how do you turn on where if your arm or hand gets to close to your headset you can see through it it did this at first and then it stopped and now it started to do it again

[charred granite]

Asking the same question/problem on different channels is against the rules of the sever. I believe that thing you are explaining is based on the camera settings for each world and not a setting you can change

[jagged sequoia]

excellent polygon reduction

[dry zealot]

I done the reverse

[compact lily]

It literally looks identical

[echo cairn]

So hey I’m not sure where to look or who to ask but I’m looking for someone to make a custom avatars for me cause I’m unable to create my own right now

I’m willing to pay tho

Dm me plz if you are up for it

[brazen osprey]

Hello all, any way to see pc avatars or am I destined to see majority grey robots?

[jovial dew]

You’re destined to see grey robots unless you get an oculus link and your pc can run a vr headset

[sullen kayak]

Dont call vroid a modeling technique

[wild mantle]

Yo can anybody create a Spinel avatar for me? I’m willing to pay

[blazing meteor]

@woven rune there’s not a reliable method to do avatar LOD in VRChat

[pastel storm]

Anyone know why this error is even a thing?

It is already a mobile shader.

[reef temple]

he go :)

[plush lion]

really?

no really

seriously?

i know the quest has restrictions, but 15 megabytes couldn't be reached for an avatar?

[worthy sage]

I don't see the issue considering this is Oculus Quest we're talking about here.

[plush lion]

yeah but

its only 5 megabytes

thats something the quest can handle

[worthy sage]

5 megabytes adds up when everyones avatar is like that

[plush lion]

yeah

like the standard was a month ago

[spice schooner]

@plush lion https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/565256303614623767/730661882897367100/unknown.png

Not sure if you did this yet but that should fix it

[spice schooner]

@reef temple I love him and the fact he is 100% less apple. Haha

[pastel storm]

what does that mean

the thing on the build settings on the bottom

[pastel storm]

nvm

i just had to scroll down a bit

[plush lion]

Ooo thanks!

[frail field]

The sdk isn't working for me.

[plush lion]

nope

not workin

its still 11.44

[charred patio]

Does anyone know of any good nanachi based quest avatarts

[lapis mist]

Does anybody have a doctor avatar or plague doctor but not scp 049

[pastel storm]

Is there way to get a transparent material on a quest avatar without changing the model?

And @lapis mist I could try making one for you

And your pfp makes me want to die more than I already did

[lapis mist]

@pastel storm yes please, a little late for me to say this but better then never

[strong parrot]

what shaders do i use in the vrchat mobile folder instead of the vrm shaders

[lapis mist]

@pastel storm still a yes

[blazing meteor]

Just reduce one of your textures. Keep it 1024x2048 or 2048x1024 at most

A single 2048x2048 is usually too big even if it’s the only texture

1024x1024 is small enough to let you have diffuse, normal, metallic, emissive, and smoothness

Which looks better than just double res diffuse

[flat frigate]

so, I know there is a shader for PC that can make your nametag invisible but is there a way to make something like that on quest?

[blazing meteor]

That’s actually against the rules to do

[long tartan]

whats the maximum amount of polys that I can have on my avatar?

[flat frigate]

why would that be against the rules? They could still look it up in the social tab

[long tartan]

how many materials am I allowed to have on my quest avatar?

[sullen kayak]

1

[blazing meteor]

2 and still be visible to everyone by default

3 and up will be hidden by default, people will need to chose to see you.

No real reason to have a second material unless you need a separate shader.

Atlas the textures together and use one material instead

For spawnable props, make them shape keys or 0 scale bones that are part of the same Skinned mesh, instead of separate meshes, avoids adding a material for the separate mesh

[long tartan]

Ok thank you

[long tartan]

I there a special way in that I have to upload my QUEST avatar? Or do I just upload it normally

[blazing meteor]

You have to change the build from PC to android

though you'll want to upload it to the same blueprint for both - PC and android - otherwise only quest users will be able to see you

[rigid bear]

Anyone know where I can get scp avatars?

[merry heath]

Can somebody make a really kool avatar for quest

Plz

[pastel storm]

K @lapis mist

[lapis mist]

E

Also if it's not a nitpick could you give either one of the doctors medical equipment

@pastel storm like syringes and stuff

[pastel storm]

Yup

[lapis mist]

What about blood stained gloves

You don't have to

[pastel storm]

I’ll see if I can do that

[lapis mist]

Ok

[pastel storm]

Does it need to be for quest?

[lapis mist]

Yes

[pastel storm]

Ok

[lapis mist]

But um anyways THANK YOUUU

[pastel storm]

No problem I have fun making avatars

[winged minnow]

Can anyone make a cool avatar for quest plz

😀😀

[spare maple]

Define "cool"

[pastel storm]

Yeah I could after eeef’s

But what does cool mean

[strong parrot]

what counts as a shader that is disabled on quest

[winged minnow]

Idk just something cool

I d in not know how to discrive it

Describe

[pastel storm]

@strong parrot a non VRChat/Mobile texture

[strong parrot]

frick

then how do i do transparent textures?

[spare maple]

You don't

[pastel storm]

You can’t

I tried asking about it but everyone just ignored me

[spare maple]

Transparency is actually quite heavy on mobile which is why it should be used as sparingly as possible, also why it's not available for avatars on Quest*

[strong parrot]

then is there an alternitive

cause im using vrm model

[pastel storm]

Nope I tried everything

[spare maple]

Use something that doesn't rely on transparency

If you just want to optimize your avatar for Quest quick n dirty, I'd say it doesn't matter too much if it's a lil off

[strong parrot]

ok then

[tiny fulcrum]

does anyone know an avatar world like Yuumis Avatar wolrd but for oculus quest

[pastel storm]

Can someone make me an avatar
That looks like the Skeleton in the image?
I also need the Scythe please

I need it quest compatible

[tame scaffold]

if you join the vrc traders discord group im sure you'll be able to find someone to make one for you for the right price

[near quail]

Hey I'm new here and I'm looking for someone who can make a Super Saiyan Blue Vegito Avatar for Oculus Quest with a Beam sword and Final Kamehameha attack animation? Maybe a Kaioken Times 20 animation for powering up with the normal SSB aura?

[wintry cosmos]

Hello I am looking for someone who can convert me from avatar to avatar quest and pc thank you ( send me a message if)

[pale torrent]

wonder if they’re ever gonna fix particles

[blazing meteor]

@Doku I can try if you want.

People with their weird characters in their names...

[brisk charm]

Anyone else wondering if quest users will ever be allowed to see pc avatars without link

[pastel storm]

Never

A lot of pc avatars have transparent or cutout materials and those will destroy the quest’s FPS

More than it does by itself even with all the limitations

[brisk charm]

oof

[jagged sequoia]

and also the problem of they are not compiled for Android so it cannot render it in the first place

[pastel storm]

Yeah

[dapper cliff]

How would 1 make an avatar with a duplicate model that copies exactly what the original does?

But as part of the same model

Like an exact clone

[river verge]

Does anyone have a eugeo from sao skin I could use

[slender lintel]

I am wondering, does any one know an oculus quest world with a paramedic or doctor avatar? Or maybe someone has a paramedic avatar I can use that is available for oculus quest?

[cerulean rivet]

question

are particles finally fixed on quest or are they still cubes?

[sage pasture]

Anyone on here making custom avatars for quest? Or is there somewhere else on this server I ask that?

[dry zealot]

@Nanachi Usagi Saisho#2725 not possible on quest

[raw pike]

Can someone help me out whenever i switch my build from pc to android it just closes

Thats the only thing i need to do just to switch it to android

[cobalt estuary]

Does anyone know where I can find a Quest compatible revolver ocelot avatar? Preferably from mgs3.

[pastel storm]

does anyone know how to get like allowed to upload avatars?

[dry zealot]

Play the game with a vrchat account

[blazing meteor]

There is a unofficial comission discord. Though if you have a model already I would not mind optimizing it, or at least looking at it to see if it would be easy enough to spit out in out in 15 min or so I wouldn’t charge for it I like the practice

@sage pasture

[sage pasture]

@blazing meteor I am mainly just looking for a Zoroark model but with green hair instead of red with glasses lol. Not sure how hard it is to make models or edit them 😕

[blazing meteor]

I don't do scratch models... check the commission discord it's in #community-servers-old . But just be warned the price for 3d modeling work is pretty high

[jagged sequoia]

yep as 3D modeling is quite labor-intensive

[stone geyser]

I'm not that wealthy, so I'd personally rather try to get good at it myself.

[merry heath]

Can somebody make a xxxtentacion avatar for quest

[blazing meteor]

How would 1 make an avatar with a duplicate model that copies exactly what the original does?
@Nanachi Usagi Saisho#2725 have a model that is 3 avatars in one, with 3 entire skeletons, all one Skinned mesh render. Bind the bones of one of them to humanoid and put rotation constraints on the copies to follow the humanoid one. Possible on quest but you might go over the bone limit.

[shadow olive]

Hi! Does anybody here have any creative solutions for lowering a model's polygon count without losing shape keys?

normally i just lower the body and keep the face the same, but this model needs all the polygons it can get

i tried tris to quads and un-subdividing, but it didnt look quite right

now what im hoping to do is somehow transfer the shape keys from the hires model to the low res, or just find another way of decimating altogether

if anybody has any ideas, im all ears

thanks!

[merry heath]

Hylianloloser can u make a xxxtentacion avatar plz

[nova silo]

Hey @blazing meteor i know you said you dont do from scratch models (which is totally cool with me) i just have a few questions im still very new and dont know the lingo of all this but i was wanting to know is there sources for base models that i could get and have it customized to fit my characters needs? And if so how can i make it Quest compatable? Just needing a bit of guidance thanks ❤

[blazing meteor]

Gumroad has a few models listed for 0 dollars that you can base off of. Really depends on what you're looking for.

Really any model can be used as a base, the only limitation is copyright and licensing. And even that doesn't stop some people.

[pastel storm]

Does anyone know if this avatar can be quest compatible

[verbal yarrow]

@shadow olive dissolve edge loops on the face

[blazing meteor]

Just by looking it at a picture I can’t know if that model specifically is quest compatible already, but I can see that it easily could be made quest compatible to be with no visual change needed @pastel storm

[pastel storm]

@blazing meteor thanks

[shadow olive]

Thanks burritony! I managed to do it by decimating each shape key separately and merging them back together https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/512468176202891264/734897946000097421/gif.gif

Thanks though!

@ornate nest what shader does your particle system use?

[ornate nest]

legacy

need to change it

[shadow olive]

Yup, use the vrchat mobile particle shader

Should work fine

[ornate nest]

it won t let me change it tho it greyed out

[shadow olive]

Take the Particle's texture and drag it onto the particle system in the hierarchy

Then edit the material to be the vrchat mobile one

Keep in mind quest doesn't support alphas, so the texture on the Particles will have a black square background

[ornate nest]

i know

don t see the particle tex

[shadow olive]

I mean, what texture are you using for your particles?

[ornate nest]

there

[shadow olive]

find the particle system in the left hierarchy window

then drag that texture onto it

it should create a material

[ornate nest]

found the system already but the tex i just open that by just clicking on it

in the inspector

say default particle but where i search for it nothing

[shadow olive]

gimme a moment

[ornate nest]

k

[shadow olive]

does this help whatsoever?

[ornate nest]

some what

i get the concept but not how to fully do it

[shadow olive]

ok, so let's go through this step by step

what happens when you try to drag the texture onto the particle system?

I dragged it onto the actual particles, but you can also drag it directly onto it in the hierarchy

[ornate nest]

what tex do i pick tho

[shadow olive]

whatever you want them to look like

the particles have to look like something

[ornate nest]

k

[shadow olive]

if they dont have a texture it's just white squares

[ornate nest]

i see

got it may look weird but yeah

got it to change

Hey can someone help me with a custom avatar

If not that’s ok

[fallen nexus]

Hello! I am new on PC and to VRChat. Can anyone explain what i need to do/download in order to make a custom avatar?

[jagged sequoia]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/setting-up-the-sdk

https://www.blender.org/download/

[fallen nexus]

Awesome! Thank you.

[jagged sequoia]

I would note you have to play the game for a bit of a while to have the upload privileges but you can definitely get started fiddling around

https://vroid.com/studio/ and this is a Japanese software that has an English translation that works pretty well for generating anime style avatars

[fallen nexus]

okay, I'll keep that in mind thank you for your help.

[sage pasture]

Anyone here make avatars for people? I had someone who was going to make one for me but then blocked me for whatever reason 😒

[blazing meteor]

I’ve done that lol

They were getting way too demanding and impatient for their free avatar. They went full Walmart customer mode.

[sage pasture]

I didn’t mean to come off as that if I did. I was just worried it would be one of those things where the person just forgets about it. Have had that happen to me with other stuff before 😕

I am assuming that is what they saw me as though

[blazing meteor]

It’s possible. Wasn’t there. Typically modelers have a queue, and it’s not first come first served, people who pay will continue to jump in front of you

[sage pasture]

That makes sense. But I offered to pay and they refused to take payment so I dunno if that is the case. It still could be I dunno. I am new to the whole “looking for someone to custom make an avatar” stuff 😕 guess now I know that messaging to check how things are going every day is a bad idea

[blazing meteor]

😬

[bold scroll]

I've got a quick question

[blazing meteor]

I for one only work on commissions like, saturday mornings, and no other time lol

what's up jdude

[bold scroll]

So I'm trying to port this avatar for my Quest friend to see it. And there's one last thing it's saying isn't allowed. And it's 'Sprites/Default', and it wants it changed to something in the 'VRChat/Mobile' thing. But it won't show were that could be at all.

[blazing meteor]

Sounds like it would be part of a particle system

[bold scroll]

Like, I've gotten everything else with shaders. And I've removed all the particles.

[blazing meteor]

These things tend to not make mustakes. Must be either a model or a particle system burried somewhere.

Do deactivate every other avatar in the scene, besides the one you are trying to upload

[bold scroll]

Yeah, I hit select and it shows me the inspector area for it.

I've only got one, so it's the only one active.

[blazing meteor]

You surely must have a Sprite/Default material somewhere in your project, try finding it and then right clicking and pick Find References in Scene

it could also be an fbx-embedded material that you aren't using but it's still in the fbx. so check in there and extract it if so

[bold scroll]

Don't know how to "Find References" for the scene, brand new to all of this, so I don't even know what the fbx-embed would be.

[blazing meteor]

if you expand your fbx file in unity they will show it's contents, and any materials if it has embedded ones

little sideways arrow on the icon

Here's an example of an FBX with embedded materials

To ignore them, uncheck this:

[bold scroll]

Unchecked, still error.

[blazing meteor]

Must be somewhere in the scene then... check all your material files in the project, one of them must be Sprites/Default

in the file search bar, type t:Material

[blazing meteor]

that's the scene

files are on the bottom

[bold scroll]

My SDK was covering it smh

[blazing meteor]

you can dock the SDK on the right side, so Inspector and the Control panel share a pane and are just tabs, much easier to work with

just drag the little tab and drop it next to the inspector tab

[bold scroll]

I did so

I found a few of these that use the Sprites/Default

they are disabled in the scene, do I just delete them? I have a copy of this avatar stored away in a different folder.

[blazing meteor]

you can check if it's on your avatar by right clicking it and picking "Find References in Scene"

if your avatar lights up

that's the one that's on your avatar somewhere

don't recommend deleting them

some of them are SDK stuff

if the avatar turns greyscale, it's not in the scene

[bold scroll]

I found a thing

"invisible"

It uses those.

Not sure how to remove them, or if simply changing it to something else would do

So the ChairBase uses it

would setting it to some shader work as well?

[blazing meteor]

Quest doesn't support invisible shaders. You'll have to delete those part sof the avatar in Blender

or, since it's already invisible, just delete the meshes from the chair

you don't need them

[bold scroll]

So just click CharBase and hit delete.

[blazing meteor]

you can have the chairbase. it just can't have an invisible shader. since you want it to be invisible, just don't have the model. you can keep the chair

it will just be a chair with no model, rather than being invisible

[bold scroll]

Don't have the model? It's a square. Not sure how to remove the material either.

Well. Just setting it to some random shader works too. I'm not trying to make this one perfect at all, I just want my friend to be able to see this avatar again xD

Basically slapping a bandaid on it.

The only thing left is RigidBody, but that one is in the list of "found on the Avatar and will be removed by the client"

And the "Build & Patch" button is still greyed out. Am I missing something?

[steel vigil]

hey chould some 1 do a bace tf 2 skin like medic soilder or sinper

[pastel storm]

Can someone tell me how avatars work on the quest i just got one today

[sage pasture]

Does anyone know of any avatar creators on patreon? I am looking for someone to do a Zoroark avatar for quest

[verbal yarrow]

@sage pasture #community-servers-old has the VRCTraders discord invitation link. There you can pay or ask for a free avatar (no guarantee someone will make it for free though)

[sage pasture]

Ab okay thank you for the info 🙂

[junior acorn]

how to fix???

[compact lily]

?upload

[tough atlas]

You must obtain at least "New User" Trust Rank in our Trust and Safety system in order to upload content. You can get this by just spending a few hours in VRChat, hop some worlds, and make some friends. Give it some time and you'll be able to upload content in no time.

As an aside, you must have a VRChat account to upload content. That means you can't use a Steam account, Oculus account, or Viveport account to upload content like worlds or avatars.

[cursive sage]

What is the Poly count for 2020 on Quest? I want to know how many polys I can have for a VRChat Oculus Quest avatar.

[pastel storm]

it honestly doesn't matter the reccomended is 5,000 but I go way over that go at 14,000 lol

@cursive sage

i went to 19,000 at one point

[cursive sage]

Thank goodness.

I found a Chibi avatar that I really liked and wanted to make sure it would work on my Quest.

[craggy glacier]

under 7.5k if youre a responsible person

[wispy flicker]

what does the poly count effect?

is this about loading avatars or framerate?

[spare maple]

Framerate

[cursive sage]

Tbh prob won’t go over 15,000.

I have picky taste for avatars.

[cursive sage]

Nvm.

I’m 59 thousand polygons o-o

[verbal yarrow]

Polycount affects file size and for mobile devices you want that as low as possible so the Quest doesn't get overloaded. @wispy flicker

[wispy flicker]

I take it that it would hurt other quests as well. Gotcha, my quest will be arriving Monday so never heard of this.

[verbal yarrow]

As long as someone is showing your avatar then yeah, it can hurt others. Another killer is texture size and material counts. Same concept as polys, causes big download

[wispy flicker]

Gotcha will try to keep it efficient

[pastel storm]

If there is an avatar for Marie from Splatoon can you guys @ me? I’m trying to find a good main for when I get a quest. Marie looks like this

[pastel storm]

nvm i checked it and it isnt a model :/

Oh okay, sorry if I wasted anyone’s time

[pastel storm]

Anyone know a good way to find avatars? I’m totally new to vr chat and want to be anime boi🥺

[cursive sage]

Does anybody have any idea on how to learn how much space can be taking up out of my Oculus Quest Headset with 59,000 polys?

I want to know if this is really damaging.

@pastel storm I found that yes Marie is an avatar but I’m not sure if it’s a public and or a downloadable avatar.

Also another question what does dynamic bones effect on the Oculus Quest? FPS/File size etc.

And now I found this:

If you want the link then here: https://www.deviantart.com/o-nova-o/art/Callie-and-Marie-MMD-DOWNLOAD-566390862

[pastel storm]

@cursive sage Thanks you’re a dish!

(That’s a compliment btw lol)

[craggy glacier]

@cursive sage 59k polys is wayy overkill for a quest avatar, youre going to want to work it down to at least under 10k

and dynamic bones aren't supported on quest avatars

[cursive sage]

Mhm.

k

@pastel storm Just make sure to convert the mmd using some YouTube videos. There’s a a lot of them that show you how.

Also if the poly count is over kill try to decimate the mmd just so that your Quest doesn’t have a heart attack.

[pastel storm]

What if I don’t have a pc? @cursive sage

[cursive sage]

Welp. Then you can’t do anything.

You need Unity and the VRChat SDK.

Which I’m pretty sure is only available on PC.

[jagged sequoia]

yes you require a PC to make anything

[pastel storm]

Does anyone know where I can find a Kirito avatar?

[pastel storm]

I’m currently using a quest avatar with 60k poyls

[verbal yarrow]

@pastel storm Yeah you can use an avatar with any amount of polys for Quest but you'll get better performance and be more courteous to others if you use one within the recommended limits. Same goes for the material count (hard on the already weak CPU) and texture size.

[spice schooner]

That's the big issue I see frequently is a bunch of Quest users just popping mics at each other while they all rock on Quest.

[ivory basin]

do quest avatars support stations at all?

[blazing meteor]

I’m currently using a quest avatar with 60k poyls
@pastel storm there’s no limit to how many polys you can see for yourself, but if you are over 7500, no one sees you by default. If you are over 10000, no one sees you unless they specifically select you and pick always show avatar.

[shadow olive]

just curious, is there an unlit shader for quest besides toon lit?

toon lit gives a bit of a hue i dont want

[blazing meteor]

Toon is actually lit. If you want unlit use “VRChat/mobile/standard lite” and put a copy of the texture on emission slot

Unlit makes you look like a lightbulb in vr though especially in dark worlds I strongly recommend just using toon

[heavy cove]

Unlit people hurt my eyes

End up hiding avatar just a lot of the times 😄

[blazing meteor]

Even toony avatars look better when they at least get shaded with the world’s ambient light. No glowing in caves and such

[shadow olive]

Yeah, I use matcap most of the time, but like

i dont think this needs accurate lighting

anyway, my solution was to lower the red color balance to make up for toon lit's red hue

and that works

[blazing meteor]

I don’t think toon has an inherent red hue, unity just has a yellow directional light by default

[pastel storm]

Hello

[blazing meteor]

You are just taking on the ambient light of whatever world you are in which will vary

Hello

[pastel storm]

Im new in vr chat ☺️

Please be gentle with me

[zinc root]

anyone know if avatar 3.0 enhancements will apply to quest avatars?

[jagged sequoia]

yes they do

[steel grove]

Hey so whenever I try to make the build target android while I have the SDK in my project unity will crash (the reverse does the same thing) does anyone know how to fix this? Feel free to @ me

[steel vigil]

chould some one pls make a tf soilder skin just the normal one plls

[blazing meteor]

There’s no real way to test 3.0 avatars on quest right now but the assumption is it will be fully compatible with the new features

[steel grove]

@blazing meteor sorry to at you but you seem present in alot of conversations so I was wondering if you've ever helped somebody deal with crashes when they try to change the build target to android.

[blazing meteor]

I haven’t had unity crashing, sorry.

[steel grove]

Dang ok it might just be me then

[steel grove]

@white seal I'm sorry to at you but I feel like I have no other choice, I cant switch my build target to android while the SDK is on the project without it crashing this problem has been happening for a while now do you know anything about it?

[dry zealot]

oh no. delete it right now.

[blazing meteor]

You can always see yourself no matter how high the polygon count. Others will see you blocked by default unless they choose to unblock it

[tame lava]

Can someone let me copy the goose avatar from untitled goose game?

[spice schooner]

And if someone chooses to unblock you they're risking a quick one way trip out of VRChat

[wild mantle]

@spice schooner why

[spice schooner]

They might crash. lol

[golden kettle]

... then why even include it there

[heavy cove]

It's a shader meant for worlds

Lightmapping is baked lighting

[golden kettle]

oh

i just picked the one that gave me the look i was going for

[heavy cove]

What look were you going for? Lightmapped isn't really meant to work on avatars properly.

[golden kettle]

toon lit yellows my avatar for some unknown reason

[heavy cove]

Ahh that would be vertex colors on your avatar most likely

[golden kettle]

theres none on there

[heavy cove]

Vertex colors would need to be check in blender

[golden kettle]

i just did

[heavy cove]

🤷 That's really the only reason I can think of the top of my head for the yellow color

[golden kettle]

let me get some reference pics

the one i like

the one toon lit gives

yellowed was the only word i could think to use

[heavy cove]

Yeah that doesn't look vertex colors in that case

I haven't really used the toon lit to know properly how it looks in lighting conditions but any chance your directional light is super bright for some reason?

[golden kettle]

ill check i guess

hmm, somehow my DL got a very yellow color

must have been it

thanks

[heavy cove]

It does have it like that by default since it's meant to be a "sun"

[golden kettle]

wonder why its never been a problem for me before

[heavy cove]

Not sure 🤔

[dry zealot]

the source light is yellow so your avatar yellow

[pastel storm]

Can someone tell me how to port an already existent avatar on pc onto the quest?

[worthy sage]

Unless you have the files for it you won't be able to

[cerulean rivet]

i know this may have been asked before but when will particles be fixed for quest

i'm tired of using broken boxes

[spice schooner]

I'm kind of worried the black boxes was them fixing it.

[worthy sage]

With particles having black boxes. Pretty sure that was intended as transparency can be pretty performance heavy for mobile hardware.
Though at the end of the day you can still use meshes as particles and those should work fine without having to worry about a black border around your texture due to transparency.

[spice schooner]

Very true

[marble hearth]

Where can I get the software to make avatars for my quest?

[pastel storm]

How do I port an avatar over to quest?

[blazing meteor]

@marble hearth @marble hearth
For 3D modeling, Current version of blender - https://www.blender.org/
If you happen to already use Steam, Blender is also available on steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/365670/Blender/
For setting up VRChat features and uploading to VRChat, This specific version of unity: https://unity3d.com/unity/whats-new/2018.4.20

@pastel storm In Unity, change build platform from Windows to Android, then upload as normal - note this will automatically active the Quest performance ranking rules, so make sure the uploader still says it's well-optimized

[marble hearth]

I don’t think my laptop could run any of this stuff

[blazing meteor]

It can, easily

[marble hearth]

Really a 2013 Radeon laptop can run it

[blazing meteor]

Blender has been around since 1998.

[marble hearth]

????

Wow

Ok I’ll try it

[pastel storm]

also how do i download the avatars to actually use? can i just download 3d models that i find?

[spice schooner]

Yes, you just need to rig them if they're not rigged then set them up in Unity

[pastel storm]

will xps models work?

[spice schooner]

Not 100% sure what that is but more than likely yes

[pastel storm]

alrighty

[spice schooner]

Just looked it up, you can use those. I imagine a lot of them wont be optimized for Quest but you do you. If you can optimize it, I would do that if I were you.

[blazing meteor]

Yes xps works but you’ll need a blender plugin that can open it

[pastel storm]

I got the avatar to unity, should it be all grey?

[blazing meteor]

Yes. You need to add the textures and possibly also some shaders

[craggy glacier]

The poly count has always been under 7.5k for medium and under 5k for excellent

not to mention that can still be uploaded, itll just be ranked poor

[torpid yew]

what the heck

big thonk

[verbal yarrow]

@torpid yew Lightmapped is a world shader that can't be used on avatars

[torpid yew]

Wtf

The avatar is broken with the other shaders ;-; just shows up green/black

heck

[verbal yarrow]

That means its vertices are painted. That can be cleared in blender

[torpid yew]

I don't have blender, a friend did the avatar for me so I guess i'll ask him

[verbal yarrow]

If he doesn't know then he can clear the vertex colors under the data properties tab

[torpid yew]

oki i'll show him

[pastel storm]

How do I fix an error for quest it’s a robot that has an error on that how the fuck I fix that

[verbal yarrow]

@pastel storm if its your own avatar that you uploaded you need to re-upload it. If it's not then the person who uploaded it needs to do that

[pastel storm]

I try re-uploading it I even change the blueprint Id and didn’t work @verbal yarrow

Have any ideas

[verbal yarrow]

Are you able to clear the cache on the quest?

[pastel storm]

I did and nothing work

[verbal yarrow]

The only other thing I can think of is to make sure you have the correct Unity version and the latest SDK. All of my error bot problems were fixed by reuploading but yours is clearly another issue so idk 😦

[pastel storm]

Why can’t quest have nice things

[dry zealot]

That robot thing happen random. Reload it can fix it

[pastel storm]

Ummm nope @dry zealot

[dry zealot]

Too bad

[fluid birch]

Quest avatar single mesh at 4k

And no dynamics bones

[indigo igloo]

[modest forge]

the colors on my avatar are changing when i use mobile shaders, how do i fix it? first pic is MatCap lit second is Standard

[sacred viper]

Why can't i log in to my vr chat. and my vr headset is not working-

Bad luck for me today-

[outer tapir]

Are there Different rules apply to pc vr an quest alone vr with avatars

[verbal yarrow]

@outer tapir Yes

@modest forge your vertices are painted green. That can be cleared in blender

[mint cliff]

anyone know where i can get some Monster hunter Avatars for quest or Mecha style avatars? i have some titanfall ones but otherwise i just love mecha and need to fufill my dream of being in on. it would be amazing if there was an avatar with cockpit view, one can dream ❤️

[hot path]

ooooof

8 hours of trying to figure this out, and it's just annoying

[hot path]

uggg

[lean wolf]

I have no idea what this is!! (ping pleas)

[rigid jay]

Does this look low poly enough for quest? Blender says it has 8k faces

[dry zealot]

And the tris

[charred patio]

Could someone help me with this ;-; Idk how to fix it

Your help would be massively appreciated

[dry zealot]

Map your bone

[frail temple]

Does anyone have a chibi nerd avatar (male) that works on oculus quest that i can clone from them

[pastel storm]

Can someone help me with this, what do i do to fix this problem, what do i need to get rid of?

[verbal yarrow]

@pastel storm checkmark that

[pastel storm]

Alright, thank you!

[ivory basin]

what's the best quest alternative to an unlit shader?

[blazing meteor]

Standard lite with the image on both diffuse and emissive slot

Should be identical

But please use toon if it’s not meant to be a light source. Bright unlit avatars hurt eyes

Quest toon is flat lit and adjusts to amount of light in the world

[shadow shell]

Has anybody made any Hunter X Hunter avatars for the quest?

[devout cloud]

Hello

Is anyone here

[blazing meteor]

Nobody here but us chickens

[devout cloud]

Anyone know where I can get Danganronpa avatars

[spiral horizon]

so basically i copy pasted my pc avatars id into the pipeline manager for my quest avatar before uploading it. does that mean there the same avatar but based on platform itll change?

it uploaded but theres 2 with different ids 🤔

[blazing meteor]

Then no, it didn’t work

[spiral horizon]

so i messed it up : /

[blazing meteor]

Upload android and windows builds to the same ID, so both see it at once

[spiral horizon]

thats what i tried to do

i copied the pcs avatars id onto the quest one so it would upload right. but it didnt

oh. i forgot to attach it lmao

so i messed it up : /
at least i was right about that 🤣

[charred patio]

Can anyone help me with this? There are no errors or anything of the such it just won't stop tposing XD

[wary umbra]

Switch the rig to humanoid

It’s currently in generic which is why it’s tposing

[charred patio]

where can i find the thing to change the rig

im still pretty new to this

[wary umbra]

Click on the model it self on the project click select and the one of the options is rig click where it saids generic and select humanoid and apply

Sadly I can’t give a visual representation power been out for 4 hours if you need any help just ping me

[charred patio]

@wary umbra this is all i see i dont know if its there and i dont see it or if i have to click something else first

[worthy sage]

That's a prefab file not the actual file for it, thus you can't see the model import settings for it.

[charred patio]

oh lol thank you i found it :D

hopefully it works

it works :D

[unkempt nymph]

How do I make avatars quest compatible

[feral harbor]

@unkempt nymph To upload the avatar to quest, in Unity, you need to go to file/ Build Settings/ Android/ and click Switch Platform at the bottom. Then, you need to make sure that all your materials are quest compatible. Under the shader menu of the material, find VRChat/ Mobil/ and choose one of the shaders that you want. Depending on the avatar, more may need to be done, but these are the basic steps.

[unkempt nymph]

Thx bro

[feral harbor]

Sure thing

[compact lily]

Just make sure the rating isn't

[feral harbor]

Yes, this is also important to keep in mind

[pastel storm]

Can someone please make a bear avatar for Quest

I will literally pay you

Not actually I'm poor

[frigid star]

does 3.0 work for quest?

[pastel storm]

Can someone tell me how to upload a cross platform avatar?

[errant dirge]

@frigid star yes, @pastel storm no, but recent sdk versions have a switch platform button.

[pastel storm]

So I can’t make avatars that are cross platform anymore? Only one or the other?

[pastel storm]

SDK 3 is for making worlds
SDK 2 is for making avatars

[worthy sage]

SDK 3 can be used for both worlds and avatars, just get the appropriate SDK3 unity package for Avatars or World.

[pastel storm]

Sooooooo apparently it only shows this when I select vrchatsdk

[verbal yarrow]

You have console errors

[errant dirge]

<@&397642795457970181> this guy is spamming the channels

[pastel storm]

So ik I'm a noob where do I get a avatar descriptor

[pastel storm]

Nvrmind I actually got one sooooooo ye

[pastel storm]

Anyone know why when I try to upload my avatar onto quest (so it can become crossed), it doesnt go thru the upload sequence but instead make a prefab whenever I press "Build & Publish for Android"

[proper sparrow]

@pastel storm erm....
you see its like this to make a model crossplay
upload your model to PC and when its done uploading go save it and your project and click on File on the top left, go to build settings and click on android and click switch plats, after its done you can upload it like you do normally with pc just go to the vrchat control panel and upload it like normal
if it says your model is to big meaning its more then 10MB then go in blender and remove some shapekeys that are not used for anything and try again

[dry zealot]

if your over 10 mb. that not normal

[jade crater]

I cant get an avatar I like add to my game

[dry zealot]

your game ?

[dry zealot]

seen like the 10 mb limit is no more

[pearl geyser]

Dm me if you would like to make a skin for me I will pay you

[fluid birch]

Usable for quest?

Minus the shader I fixed it

I don't use a quest but just asking

[worthy sage]

Poly count is quite high for quest

[jagged sequoia]

yeah that's the budget of like 6 avatars

[blazing meteor]

Any tips on uploading quest versions of avatars when you have a 20 gb project file that takes over an hour to switch platforms every time?

Makes keeping PC/Quest setups identical a pain

[silver quartz]

Idk why this keeps happening does anyone know why this keeps happening

[wild mantle]

Can anybody make me a custom avatar please

I’m willing to pay

[dry zealot]

finally finish(can still be edit) Quest 3.0 avatar

[golden valley]

After new patch the idle animations broke down. What should I do?

[pale torrent]

All avatars with a laying down prone idle have the virtual hands WAY offset from irl hands, and also made the hips controlled by the thumb stick on some avatars as well

It astounds me how stuff like this is ruined with every update/patch, they need to test updates before rolling them out. Can’t trust them to fix it either given the fact we still have broken particles.

[pale torrent]

I stopped playing this game for half a year because they couldn’t get their shit together, now I’m back and it’s even worse smh

[wheat ledge]

@pale torrent stfu

[verbal yarrow]

@pale torrent they didn't get enough people testing it out in the beta so they rolled it out so the general population will give feedback

Can I clone PC avatars if I’m on quest?

If it's PC only avatars and you're on standalone quest then no.

Are there any avatars for the quest that let you draw?

[spice gorge]

Does anyone know where I can find a patrick star avatar for quest?

[spiral mountain]

@spice gorge if I can find/you can find a model for it I can port it over but I'll check out some worlds tommorow and let you know if I find a Patrick avatar. Maybe the Krusty krab would would have one

[earnest tundra]

question, im trying to get a quest avatar commisioned (i cant spell aaa) but i dont know where to find someone to do it. i know this probably isnt the right channel to post this in- but i do need help. if you cant then its alright ^^

(pc/quest compatible)

[spice gorge]

@spiral mountain thanks

[steel vigil]

whould any one be able to make me a coustem clone trooper skin coustem clolor to im just asking for a clone trooper with no gun no coustem emotes just the avatar and re colored armour

[restive acorn]

@spiral mountain If you can't find a world with a quest compatible Patrick then you can probably use this old website to find one. These models should meet the VRChat requirements for Quest avatars though they may not have the most appealing results.
Website: https://www.models-resource.com/search/?q=patrick

[spiral mountain]

Yeah it might be neat to check it out and bring some over to the quest

[rare aspen]

is this where I could ask about help with porting over to quest? or is that general avatars stuff? I can't get the dumb "build and Publish" bits to ungrey, for a cube

[fast slate]

Could anyone make me a 212 battalion phase 2 clone trooper armour with minor alterations, if so dm me and I can send u the alterations, thank you

[verbal yarrow]

@earnest tundra #community-servers-old has the invite to the VRCTraders discord where you can ask for a commission. There's a paid and free section. Just be sure to read the rules first

[earnest tundra]

Alright, thank you

[proper sparrow]

Remember Quest avatars can be more the 10K polys it will just be marked as very poor and people will have to click "show avatar" and Quest avatars currently have a 10MB file upload limit so as long as the avatar is less then 10MB you can upload it to quest, something that can help lower the file is in unity lower the resolutions of your textures by clicking the texture in unity and changing the res down. Shape keys add a bit of file so make sure you remove any and all shapekeys your never going to use.

[high sphinx]

If it's PC only avatars and you're on standalone quest then no.
@worthy sage yeah, you can!

Can I clone PC avatars if I’m on quest?
@spice gorge you can clone pc avatars, but you cant unfavourite it without equiping it again.

[spiral mountain]

@rare aspen I can help you out if you want/need

[rare aspen]

@spiral mountain alright. It's quite late for me but would you mind if I DM you something just to put you in my DM list and then try and sort my issues out later in the week, either tomorrow or whenever it might be more convenient?

[spiral mountain]

I don't mind

I'm free whenever to help peeps learn how to port over stuff

[dry zealot]

Remember to NOT upload over 10k plz if so dont go over 32k at least

[spiral mountain]

Why not? If you're doing avatars that big it's someone's choice if they unblock your avatar so might as well go over 32k if you have to since you don't get auto shown unless someone turns their safety settings off or unblocks your avatar themselves

[dry zealot]

Its a phone vr. Not game have asset with more then that. Vr is more expensive.

[spiral mountain]

It can run it, and it's on someone if they want to show the avatar. It doesn't lag out the game much or if at all most of the time

[rare aspen]

I'm still new as heck to making avatars, so most are going to go over 10k since I haven't learned optimization beyond cats (and I have yet to get decimation to work)

[spiral mountain]

No point in breaking avatars or degrading them much unless you go over 10mb

[rare aspen]

Fortunately they're not gonna be avatars I use, just practicing and learning.

[spiral mountain]

You aren't gonna tell someone on pc not go to over a certain amount so why tell a quest user that they shouldn't go over an amount if it runs ? I say let quest users do as they please if it doesn't break others or themselves

[dry zealot]

We tell people on pc as well. It get even worst.

When people upload the same avatar with 20 material and skinned mesh on the quest. Plus the high poly count

With big event. We have to put rule like medium rank.

[spiral mountain]

I mean you can just hide every avatar with safety and avoid the high polygons If you believe you'd crash from it and there's always to where you can boost your quest too so it shouldn't be much of an issue. I don't believe someone should destroy their avatar just for the sake of others unless they are intentionally being a jerk over it and intentionally trying to crash people. It's worse on pc since people don't all have the same hardware but on quest everyone has almost the same thing so it's easy to tell when something is going to affect or crash someone

[dry zealot]

For private instance. Whatever but the issue is in large gathering. Bwfore on pc. When you try upload a world it was block if you have an avatar with to much going on. But now with lab. It got out of control.

The issue is to have those very poor free in wild.

It will tank performance for every one

[spiral mountain]

Okay but you have full control in vr chat of who you see and don't see.

You literally have settings to hide very low avatars

[dry zealot]

If everyone is very poor. Its just the quest experience

Robot everywhere

[spiral mountain]

I mean yeah it's just how it is on quest not much you can do to fix it without a more powerful quest being released

Already full of robots too with pc only avatars

[dry zealot]

Since very poor is wide spread on quest. That something people can do about it

[spiral mountain]

You can't help that the quest has limitations, it's not the avatar creators faults for the quest being underpowered. And making them fit into tighter boxes with polygons it just makes everything look worse and discourages people from being creative in game because a lot of quest models look like playdough if you are trying to go 10k or under

Unless you are doing a low poly model

[dry zealot]

Its the creator fault to upload those.

People should know what to expect when they by a quest

[spiral mountain]

Yeah so expect lower framerates

It's gonna happen no matter what

Don't limit people on what they can do

[dry zealot]

Expect lower fidelity

[spiral mountain]

I don't think anyone should have to ruin their avatars for others if it still runs and is still uploadable

If you don't like how it runs with their avatar around then block it plain and simple

Having a ton of robots sucks but what else can you do?

[dry zealot]

You prefer to have more robot

[spiral mountain]

That's just how it is on quest, people should know what to expect on quest just as you said when they buy one. It's not a PC so don't expect everything to run smoothly 100% of the time cause not even a pc can do that. You're already stuck seeing robots all the time so might as well have more if you really are that concerned over crashing or lagging badly cause again you have full choice in VR chat to leave a world or block avatars to your heart's content if you are running badly. It's the same way on pc

It's a community based game not a premade one, you can't expect what people made themselves to run perfectly on different kinds of hardware without issues

Just let people do what they want to without complaining when you as a user hold the power to just not see what the person created

[stable monolith]

Remember to NOT upload over 10k plz if so dont go over 32k at least
@dry zealot are you serious ? it's not our fault if your hardware have limitation, everything below 10k poly looks like shit

just get a better pc and use a oculus link cable so you can see pc avatars

[spiral mountain]

Not In a mean spirited way but you kind of picked how you wanted to experience vr chat by getting a quest

[stable monolith]

Exactly

[spiral mountain]

You don't have the right to make others destroy what essentially is their art because you run badly

[dry zealot]

The thing is.

I dont have a quest

[spiral mountain]

Excuse my language but hold the fuck up

You gonna tell people how to do stuff on quest when you don't have one yourself?

How does that even work or make sense if you don't even work with a quest much less have one

[dry zealot]

I want eveyone to have a good experiance

[stable monolith]

PCVR doesn't have good experience by using low poly avatars

[spiral mountain]

Okay but if you don't have a quest then you don't know how things work on quest for the most part cause you've never experienced it

I use the quest version a lot even tho I have a fully working pc and even with having low poly avatars the quest can run like ass even on the home world. There's no reason not to make higher poly avatars when it already runs like ass

[stable monolith]

Right

[dry zealot]

Its not all about poly count. Drawcall is the worst ofender

[stable monolith]

Plus quest user can use an oculus link cable, it's not like they have NO CHOICES

[spiral mountain]

You have a ton of choice on the quest even if it doesn't seem like it, if you don't like running bad with higher poly avatars then you are putting yourself at the disadvantage of just seeing robots

Everything is on you

[stable monolith]

Yup

[spiral mountain]

Same goes for the pc version they both suffer from the same issues

It's why the safety settings exist for a reason

It would have been better if you has said be mindful of how many polygons you use or be careful but with how you said it wasn't appropriate at all and basically telling someone that it's bad if they do go over 10k or 32k

[stable monolith]

Some people like me spend thousands of hours in VRChat, we want to customize our avatars the best as we can and enjoy the avatars. Most accessories will cost about 2-8k poly already. My pc tower + vr kit cost 4600$+, I don't want to use low poly avatars just because some folks uses a 500$ vr setup with no pc. It's fucked up

[spiral mountain]

^

I'm already at a grand for my vr set up and planning to go for $5k since I'm getting a new pc to make better stuff

Even with having a good pc I'll still use the quest version of vr chat and and suck it up all of its faults

[carmine dust]

Anyone know of an avatar with the Snail Marker? my friend is a mute and wanted to be able to write to us in any room.

[spiral mountain]

From what I've seen snail markers don't work well on quest but if they are using pc I'd suggest an impim which there are a few worlds on quest that have them but the eyes are broken on quest

@carmine dust

[carmine dust]

Okay awesome! thank you. Now if she were to use a PC Avatar with the Trail, would it work fine since she is plugged into a pc even though she is using a quest?

[thorny void]

are there any fun jumpscare avatars for Quest? Can't seem to find any

[topaz ginkgo]

Like Lolathon Jumpscare ones?

[thorny void]

Yes or other ones

Cause i really wanna scare people but without any jumpscare avatars that is kinda impossible

[topaz ginkgo]

I don’t know really, most Jumpscare avatars are PC only

I mean he isn’t wrong

[thorny void]

I wish Quest could use pc avatars :/

[fluid birch]

Me with 132,000 polygons

Hmm yes

[plush lion]

weeeeeeeee

[verbal yarrow]

@plush lion Checkmark that

[verbal yarrow]

Actually... your problem may be your 38 materials and 16 meshes

Bruh

[wanton yarrow]

im trying to make a gold avatar but i m trying to make it quest but if i try to make it quest it takes the gold

[verbal yarrow]

@wanton yarrow You could try these settings with Standard Lite shader

[plush lion]

i am aware

i just found it funny how it was ~03 mbs too large

scaled down the textures and it worked

[compact lily]

No.

Do not

You need to optimise it.

[zenith badge]

16 meshes on a quest avatar jesus christ

Wasn't the limit like 3

No one will see your avatar even if it lets you wear it

[fluid birch]

Hahaha

You haven't seen the worst yet

Pulls out 32 mesh matierals

Plus 160k polygon

300 dynamic bones

[spice schooner]

The biggest issue is people don't want to learn to optimize. It actually becomes fun once you get into it.

[gaunt pollen]

ok i have a model but my pc can't run the unity model editor thing without crashing, am i just boned?

[brittle viper]

Can someone make an Avatar The Last Airbender skin?

Y'all know we're I can find that?

[rain dragon]

Hi guys have you ever went through optimalization for vr chat worlds? me and me colleague kinda struggle to do so, and since she made assets for us in blender, project and world are laggy as hell. Do you maybe have any tutorial to help us? We can only find some for newer versions of unity, and we work on sdk2 so its not very helpful

[worthy sage]

@rain dragon Probably should ask in #world-optimization but if I had to guess your batches / draw calls are likely pretty high.

[ionic pike]

Does anyone know of a Quest-friendly Krystal avatar, and if not, does anyone know of people who accept commissions for Quest avatars? 😊

[steel vigil]

hey may some one make this for me il be willing to pay 20 to 30 bucks for it

[ivory bay]

Is that concept art or an mmd?

[ivory magnet]

Can someone help me every time I use the avatar it happens to be full of bugs

[compact lily]

@ivory magnet That's the pc version of vrchat, this is the quest channel

but upgrade your gpu

it's too old

[pastel storm]

Where do you find nutter butter

[dawn bison]

At the grocery store I would assume

[pastel storm]

No i mean the avatar

That can puke

[ionic pike]

Never seen it

[spice schooner]

I thought it was PC only

[narrow terrace]

can anyone that know how to make a avatar please make one for me ||its a lewd avatar||. ive found new ones every time my main one gets banned but just today my main avatar and favourite one got banned, i just wanna use my avatars in peace

[violet quest]

and why were they banned?

[narrow terrace]

because some stupid people think its funny to go nude in public worlds

the name of the avatar even was "no nude in public"

[hardy pumice]

@pastel storm I had it

[topaz plume]

@narrow terrace @violet quest nsfw models arent allowed its against tos thats why they were banned

[pastel storm]

@hardy pumice where did you find it?

[hardy pumice]

Got it off of someone

[pastel storm]

Hhhhh

[amber pawn]

Hey I have an avatar that I want to be retextured. It's super simple. It's a tv with Ahegao faces all over the screen with floating hands. I want the screen to have a simple ”-_-” kinda face, I want it to have a few gestures as well, and to recolor a few things. I'm gonna pay. DM me if you are interested

[worthy shuttle]

Does anyone one know a Scarface avatar or any Payday 2 crew instead of jacket

[ashen shuttle]

I have questions and need help

I wanna make something for my boyfren, but I don't know how
Our one year anniversary is coming soon, and I wanna give him something
Because he's my pet, I wanna make a leash I can bring out with a gesture that connects to a collar already on him
Thing is though, I don't know if cloth is a thing I can do with the quest and I'm too scared to do the research and find out it's not possible.
If someone already knows, please tell me

Some extra info, I have a PC and was also wondering if interaction regarding cloth was possible between two players

[pale torrent]

you can’t have a leash or somethin connect to another player like that

Never once have I seen cloth interact with another player and what not like that

[lucid mist]

im interested in making a custom avatar, i use blender and im wondering does it have to be one object or can it be multiple

[wooden oxide]

Anyone know where I can find some female lewd avatars

[ashen shuttle]

@lucid mist
Depends on if you want it to be seen by Quest users.
If by object, you mean material, than it's certainly possible. Just try and keep the poly count low so any Quest users don't have a hard time

[lethal basin]

Hey, y'all. I know this is a probably a very overdone question but I'm trying to get a decent lightsaber blade to look good for Quest. I've seen a few but not sure how they're achieving the glow and transparent edges.

[lucid mist]

im a quest user playing is standalone

[dry zealot]

I duplicate the light beam, expand the normal a little and flip the normal. To be lit in darkness use standart lite to have an emmision on it.

@lethal basin

Bonus. I made a shapekey that expend it a little. In unity the animation on frame 0 have 0 and on frame 1 its 100. So it will flicker

[lethal basin]

@dry zealot do you have a video/screenshot?

[dry zealot]

[lusty glen]

does anybody know of any toradora avatars for quest?

[sick mulch]

looking for danganronpa characters specifically kyoko Kirigiri

[pastel storm]

@lusty glen Yup I know

[rain swan]

Can we get rid of the brushes

[lusty glen]

@pastel storm where can i find them! i just rewatched and i need to get in a ryuji avatar asap 😆

[tiny yarrow]

i have a question im new to the quest on vr chat how u do animation on their

[sullen kraken]

So I made this avatar for Quest, I've yet to set it up for Android but that's not an issue. I'm aware Quest doesn't support dynamic bones, but can something like a tail animation for its idle be done?

(This is the first one for Quest I'm making so I don't know everything about it yet)

[dry zealot]

Yes

[sullen kraken]

Someone did tell me Quest doesn't support bones other than the ones used in humanoid rig... so is this true or not?

Cuz if that ain't the case, then I'll love making that tail waving animation

[verbal yarrow]

@sullen kraken You can make a tail wagging animation for quest. When people say bones aren't supported for quest they mean Dynamic Bones

[spice schooner]

Can confirm you can use bones outside of a humanoid rig

[sullen kraken]

👍 👍 👍

Thanks!

[pastel storm]

So, I have a question. This may seem dumb but, does anyone know if there is a Date A Live Avatar world out there for that quest that is available? I’ve been looking all over for a dal avatar world and I couldn’t find any.

[rigid bear]

Where can I get Derieri for quest

[pastel storm]

Anybody know where to get a Kanna Quest avatar? (And Lucoa if anywhere)

[narrow juniper]

Does anyone know where to get Henry Stickmin Avatar?

[merry heath]

Dose anybody know were u can get the Henry stockman avatar

I ment stickman

[ivory bay]

Was trying to do 3.0 stuff for a quest avatar but a lot of my toys are locked down. What things would people like to try for quest? Texture swaps seem doable but not much else specific to 3.0 that I know of

Maybe a hand pat mover? Just want to get something out there that can’t be done in 2.0

[finite crest]

@ivory bay Do some things with animations/gestures. And try and steer clear from taxing avatars. Texture swaping might be doable, but the quest requires a lot of compromises and optimizations.

[ivory bay]

Yhea doing mesh toggles isn’t going to work for most quest avatars due to the poly limit, so just texture swaps seem viable.

I can’t do constraints so no world objects like my mirror, no non-mobile shaders so cant do hue or saturation sliders. So just have to stick with animations I guess

And animation outside puppet controls is beyond me and likely could be done in 2.0 by a fixed animation. So manual movement, desktop head pats and the like

[finite crest]

I mean, you can totally do more animations with 3.0

[ivory bay]

Like 30 dances? I mean I guess. I was trying to focus on functionality unique or assistive with 3.0

Just for demoing for other creators, maybe a dance submenu to control 30 dances someone may want to add

[finite crest]

I like making simple avatars, especially for quest. I am not a huge fan of overloaded, shader intensive stuff, but i do like having nice animations.

[nimble temple]

I have a question I recently got a quest and wanted to know if I can select a avatar off the wall in my "home world" it doesnt seem to give me the highlight laser thing... I have to use the menu is that the only way?

[finite crest]

Make sure the avatars are quest compatible

[reef spire]

I used VRoid to make my model, got it all set and I made is compatible for quest, and guess what, I CAN'T USE IT ON MY QUEST. I'm a bit agitated sorry i've been doing this for a while. If anyone could help me, that would be very fantastic

[verbal yarrow]

@reef spire What errors are you getting?

[reef spire]

It just literally will not work for quest, when it's uploaded it just has PC

I don't know what other build I can export it for

[verbal yarrow]

CTRL Shift B in Unity will bring up the build option. You gotta choose the android build (probably have to download it first) so it can be uploaded for Quest

If CTRL Shift B shortcut doesn't work you can always click on File-->Build Settings @reef spire

[reef spire]

So I should do android?

I know how to change the build settings

[verbal yarrow]

Yeah, change to android

Quest runs on a mobile build (android) since it's a standalone headset

[reef spire]

ah, thank you

I'll tell you if this works, I REALLY hope I don't need to spend more hours on this

[verbal yarrow]

You got this

[reef spire]

There's.. a lot of errors. I'll fix it, but It will take moree tiiiimeee

[pastel storm]

I believe in you @reef spire

[reef spire]

When I was changing the Shader or whatever it was to fit mobile, it did this with the eye highlight

I put transparent on, nothing is happening

I can't delete it either tho

it just makes it purple

I don't really care too much about the eye highlight

._. I used vroid that's what I know

I think, because there is eye tracking

could I just use the eye png I have already? or would that not work

ok

any tips to make it not have a weird black tint?

I have photoshop i'll just make it brighter

It did not change at all

[reef spire]

Okay, now the eyebrows and eyelashes are doing the same thing

anyone know how to fix this abomination

[dry zealot]

@ivory bay go check. ONE 3.0 quest avatar. map

[lethal basin]

@reef spire are you talking about the grey pieces?

[reef spire]

yeah, and i'm using SDK 2 because I'm using VRoid for my avatar

[lethal basin]

That's what i was thinking

I use VRoid as well, for those textures, if you're wanting to use anything from them, I'd just suggest cutting around the physical shapes you'd like to keep since Quest cannot use transparency

Which requires some Blender knowledge

[reef spire]

I have like 0.1% blender knowledge

all I have left are like the eyelashes, eyebrows etc

[lethal basin]

Right, those are all the most problematic areas because they use so many transparent textures

I had to cut all the way around my eyebrows/lashes/hair

[reef spire]

hm, alright

one question, how do I put my unity model with all the fixed shaders into blender?

I only know how to change my VRoid model in Unity

[lethal basin]

Blender has a plugin that imports VRoid directly into it, similar to how Unity does

If you don't have Blender yet, you could download the latest version then install this add-on for it https://github.com/iCyP/VRM_IMPORTER_for_Blender2_8/archive/master.zip

[reef spire]

I do have blender, but i'll get that

Or is there a way to mix the eyebrows with the face texture. I've been doing this for a bit and I just wanna be done.

[lethal basin]

Yes, there is

You would just paint them on in Photoshop or GIMP

They just won't be animated

[reef spire]

can I just send you my vrm file it's like 8mb I think this has taken me way too long. If you decline i'll eventually get to it so. your choice

i'm burnt out w this crap

[lethal basin]

oh yeah, no problemo!

[reef spire]

seriously? if you're serious the max is 5 mb for non nitro users, unless it's on a boosted server I think

[lethal basin]

it is boosted here I believe

or just a google drive link

[reef spire]

alright, i'll get on that

is it just a shareable link to the file?

I'm not that smart with this, sorry

[ivory bay]

found a few quest-ready avatars to try to add some 3.0 stuff but they were conversions from normal ones and the shape keys are just completely broken. going to keep looking. just finished a demo 3.0 for pc and want to see what I can do on quest ones

[ivory bay]

-scratch that, can't get it to 10k without significant deform-

[pastel storm]

I’m not allowed to request models or avatars here am I?

If anybody is looking for good Quest anime avatars such as MHA or such, go to “Mids AVA world”

[ivory bay]

whow there really isn't a lot of quest-able avatar bases out there to work from, been looking for 3 hours for something that's not a meme or wasn't just decimated from a PC model that results in broken shape keys or vertexes

I mean I could just to a MMD import of like a sonic character to put some basic 3.0 controls on, but not a lot of people would want that. hmm

[reef spire]

Oof, I wish the best for you.

[finite crest]

Most PC avatar creators who create avis for quest, typically go to the max they can go and upload it. And since they "Can't" test it, they just leave it as is

[lethal basin]

@ivory bay I mean, "technically" you can go a tiny bit over but those are the recommended just for everyone to have an enjoyable experience without massive frame rate decrease

I still do my best to optimize though, easiest way is to separate by materials and if you can decimate enough without it looking too potato, you're good.

[ivory bay]

yhea I could only edit my prefered one down to 13000 tris before it just started breaking. I may just buy a quest avatar base to work on from there.

[jagged sequoia]

have you tried dissolving Edge Loops instead of whatever you did to decimate

[ivory bay]

I should, I need to read up more on it though, haven't really needed to do much of it previously. I'll look into it

[jagged sequoia]

it's probably going to get you a lot better results than trying to use the decimate button

[dry zealot]

You can do a lot will 10k

[opal compass]

is there somewhere on this discord where i can request for someone to make me a quest avatar?

[ivory bay]

ended up working on the orignal one, just lost shape keys but I will learn on restoring them. there's just really not much I can add to this other than flip textures

[pastel storm]

When I try to publish it says I’m using an unsupported shader “hidden/internalerrorshader” can someone help me with this?

[ivory bay]

you may have imported a model using a shader not supported by quest, you need to do the VRchat mobile shaders

[pastel storm]

I did that but it still gives me the error

[spiral mountain]

@pastel storm go to vr chat in your shaders menu and then go onto the mobile option and pick a shader out of that. Just selecting vr mobile ones will not work

[cold surge]

i need halp with finger trails. i got a prefab from a disc and now im trying to figure out how to make it glow in the dark. any advise?

[ruby heart]

i need some help with quest shaders
i get this error when i go onto the build menu of the sdk, ive looked around but cant find anything

[cold surge]

have you clicked the body of the avatar?

like when the whole avatar turns orange

[ruby heart]

yeah, i had a look around and couldnt find it

[cold surge]

if you do that, it should show all the shaders used for each material

[ruby heart]

hmm ok i see that

🤔

greyed out

[cold surge]

oof

unpack the prefab

[ruby heart]

how do i do that lol

[cold surge]

save before you do

before i say any more, is the bodymatt and the hair in the same hierarchy

if they are, right click the highlighted blue part and it shows "unpack prefab"

i wouldnt unpack it completely. i havent tried that yet lol

when you unpack the prefab, you should have more freedom to mess with them

[ruby heart]

ok they are, what is this blue part youre talking about?

wait hol up i did it

i have access to shaders

[worthy sage]

Also unpack completely just also unpacks any prefabs inside the prefab that you're unpacking iirc.

The normal "Unpack prefab" just unpacks the one you selected.

[ruby heart]

yeah thats the one i did

thanks for the help guys, i can now build to android

[spiral mountain]

If you need more help I am available to help on basic issues right now

[ruby heart]

nvm i gotta wait some time lol

https://tenor.com/view/mr-bean-waiting-still-waiting-gif-13052487

[spiral mountain]

Ah lol hopefully you get to make avatars soon!

[ruby heart]

thanks!

wont be able to see if it works for a while unfortunately, controller being shipped to oculus

[spiral mountain]

If you need someone to test your avatar once you are able to publish it let me know and I would be more then happy to test it out and provide assistance

[ruby heart]

aw sweet!

[spiral mountain]

Its always great seeing new avatar makers pop up

[ruby heart]

im just testing the main model rn cause i didnt know if it would work, gonna texture it today/tomorrow

[spiral mountain]

Hope all of that goes well!

[pastel storm]

@pastel storm go to vr chat in your shaders menu and then go onto the mobile option and pick a shader out of that. Just selecting vr mobile ones will not work
@spiral mountain that’s exactly what I did

[spiral mountain]

Where did you get the model from?@pastel storm

[pastel storm]

Someone made it for me

[spiral mountain]

Hm what shader did you end up picking?

@pastel storm

[pastel storm]

Diffuse i believe

[spiral mountain]

The model is pink right? I'd say try using standard lite or toon lit and see what happens

[pastel storm]

How do I use those? When it’s pink I just make it into the diffuse and it gives it textures

[spiral mountain]

If it's diffuse and it gives it textures then you should be good to upload the avatar, you might have a hidden shader that you can't see. Go to your materials and keep changing everything to bumped diffuse if that's the shader you plan on using

It should eventually work

[pastel storm]

Like materials after I select the avatar in the asset folder and it’s on the menu on the right?

[spiral mountain]

There should be an option that says materials on the bottom right at the top where you find all of your files for the unity project

[pastel storm]

Like where all the folders are?

[spiral mountain]

Take a screen shot of your screen and I will circle/point out where it should be

[pastel storm]

Alright give me a couple minutes gotta do some stuff

[spiral mountain]

Alright I would take a screenshot myself but I'm not at my computer anymore

Found this which should help show you the locationz it should say materials at the top. Click on it and it will pull up all materials in the project. Unless you know which materials the avatar uses by clicking through them individually and finding which one is a hidden shader error and change it to bumped diffuse

[pastel storm]

it only uses one

this is what it looks like

[spiral mountain]

Does it say shader error if you try and publish it?@pastel storm

[pastel storm]

umm here

[spiral mountain]

Yeah it has a hidden material most likely

Go to where it says all materials and click on each one till you find it

[pastel storm]

where is that?

[pastel storm]

what should i be looking for?

[spiral mountain]

Click on each material till you find the one that is causing the hidden shader

[pastel storm]

like the place where it says shader?

oh i found it!

just make it the vrchat/mobile/diffuse?

[spiral mountain]

Yep this will happen sometimes when porting stuff to quest where they will have hidden materials and yep

[pastel storm]

alright

i can upload it!

thanks so much

[spiral mountain]

You're welcome, just make sure to check out that file If it ever says there's a material that you can't find

[pastel storm]

yes i will from now on

thanks!

[spiral mountain]

Hope everything works out well for you!

[pastel storm]

uh oh

somethings wrong now

rip

[spiral mountain]

What does it say now?

[pastel storm]

i think its just saying that the project doesnt exist?

[spiral mountain]

Screenshot please

[pastel storm]

its at the bottom

[spiral mountain]

Save the project as a new name and then try reupload by going to file then save as then name it and try uploading again

[pastel storm]

ok

just click save as in the top left?

under file?

[spiral mountain]

Mhm and name it something you will remember

[pastel storm]

alright done
