mighty vault
#

is there any point to having a texture thats 512x512 set to 2048 in unity?

half ruin
#

no

mighty vault
#

ok thx

silver adder
#

Not really any point in manually changing the max size to 512x512 either. Unity automatically handles that when the textures native resolution is lower than the maximum.

mighty vault
#

ah ok thx!
also should I try crunch compression for further reducing file size?

fluid grotto
mighty vault
#

ok thx

fluid grotto
#

Typically it's done to cap the resolution so you can use crazy high resolution source images without scaling them down just for unity

mighty vault
#

ah ok thank you!

merry swan
#

🤔 made a gif/spritesheet thats 155mb

sand wren
#

usually i always export textures at 2k, 4k, or 8k if theyre high quality but u can reduce the resolution in unity if not much detail is lost

#

and it will reduce the file size

#

increasing the resolution is useless since it just scales to whatever the lowest resolution is

#

either of the image or of the setting

#

thats why its called max size anyway, but crunch compression is good for reducing size also

barren hemlock
#

I compressed a 147 frame spritesheet to 2.7mb with very minimal quality loss. Each frame has small text in it and is still very readable in-game

# fluid grotto have a picture?

hey sorry for the late reply, but I don't have any screenshots unfortunately ;-;. It's basically just a robotic hand on one side and a normal hand on the other side. Typically the hand is pretty stylized with effects and stuff. I've seen it in many different forms but its very much the same base. Thanks for replying btw and its okay if you don't know where to find this model ^^

sand wren
barren hemlock
#

Well ideally you should be compressing textures to less than 1024 if they're not an atlas

#

But yeah you can do some pretty good stuff with compression

sand wren
#

i cant lol

#

i have very important detail in my normal and specular maps

#

metal scratches and the subtle bumps of the surface

barren hemlock
#

Trust me, everything can be compressed

sand wren
#

not unless i use multiple textures

barren hemlock
#

I have detail maps at 512

sand wren
#

lol

#

its not a detail map

#

the scratching is unique across the entire avatar

#

bc its composed of multiple materials

barren hemlock
#

It's a bump/normal map

sand wren
#

all in one texture

#

and the skin is bumpy

#

if i compress at 1024 all those details go away

#

so trust me i cant lol

barren hemlock
#

Which can be achieved easily with 512

sand wren
#

its not a repeating pattern

#

it follows the flow of the body and is randomly generated and asymmetrical

barren hemlock
#

Remember, VRChat isn't a movie. Everything doesn't have to be super HD fidelity with no pixels anywhere. It's VR. You have to respect realtime rendering rules and RAM usage

sand wren
#

whatever man

#

my file size still smaller than 90% of other avatars

#

performance impact negligable

#

especially since i use next to none textures

barren hemlock
#

I mean I don't doubt it, but every mb counts in VRChat where RAM is valuable

sand wren
#

i just want to keep quality especially since i use HQ standard shader

barren hemlock
#

I compress every one of my avatars to 10mb or less no matter what I have on it. I have major textures compressed to less than 20kb to save as much space as possible

#

Quality isn't everything in VRC

sand wren
#

i always have very realistic textures because i make them all with substance painter

#

yes but if the quality is more optimized than trashy anime avatars that plague any public lobby

#

im assuming that i did my job at least to my best

#

my avatars are small enough to upload as quest

#

even with these texture sizes

barren hemlock
#

My general rule is as long as your avatar is below 10mb it's fine

sand wren
#

yea it is

#

thats why i always crunch and even though i export 4k or 8k

#

i reduce to 1k or 2k

#

sometimes less depending on what it is

#

it also lets me get a rough idea of how much quality is lost when downscaling

#

since i have such high resolution textures

#

so i choose the best option that minimizes quality loss for the best file size

barren hemlock
#

That's respectable

craggy gulch
#

do avatars have to be really high poly?

#

i have a low poly avatar I made for a game that I want to import as it already has a lot of animations

Anyone know where I can get Cubeds Unity shader from?

#

I can't seem to find it

fluid grotto
#

I don’t beleive that shader is maintained anymore

harsh bone
#

Idk the model I found says it's required

fluid grotto
#

It’s probably old information, cubedparadox, a VRchat dev, used to maintain it. Probably just use a similar shader

I'm trying to learn how to make models and I found a model I wanted to use but I can't get the textures to load onto it now and when reading eh models page it says I need it 😦

"Samurai" is a very broad category.

Yeah good point, right now I’m looking for an avatars wearing coolie hats but I can’t find anything like it anywhere I keep just finding furry avatar worlds

sand wren

what furries have to do with samurais lol

What?

No not like that I mean I would be looking for avatars like it and any avatar worlds I went to just had a bunch of furries

#

Or some super edgy half naked avatars

anyone know why my face gestures wont go back to normal?

#

It could be how your FX/Actions file is set up

#

One sec

#

Make sure all the animations in your FX/Actions file look like this (Except for the motion of course)

Write Defaults

merry swan
#

Likely you have wd off , then its not told to reset after use

scenic shadow
#

Yeah mainly Write Defaults, I believe there was another thing that I usually have to turn off but I forget what it was so I just sent how its set up properly

merry swan
#

Found a bug with it so i have to have mine on or the xyz on animations/chairs will not work

#

cause reasons

#

everything else can be off and behaves, long as i dont have a fx layer with wd off

grand bridge
#

Ok well, i'm having trouble, what file do i need to look for to edit the idle prone/crouch animations..? Locomotion seems to affect only moving states, please ping me with an answer if someone can help, thank you

scenic shadow
#

Thats for a prone idle but hopefully its self explanatory enough to do it for crouch as well

Oh i wrote this in the wring channel, thank you anyway i will try it tomorrow since i just got off pc 👍

harsh raven
#

Out of curiosity, does anybody know if it’s possible to make an object disappear when it touches a collider on an avatar?

#

I’d like to try and implement eating food on my avatar

graceful nest
#

You can do that with particles

#

Particles can be meshes and have collisions that let them die and spawn child particles, as well as play sounds

#

Just set the emission to 0 and max particles to 1, then with an animation change the emission value so it emits one

harsh raven
#

Ooh that’s perfect, thanks!

#

@waxen plank if you find it lemme know, that’ll be my struggle as well soon

primal wadi
#

particles are hard though D:

Seems as if the new update messed with jaw flap bones. Mine, even when mic is muted, is slightly open. In Unity it does not appear to be open when previewing the "closed" state but in the game it is.

Regardless though, it's only local that this happens. It appears normal for other people.

pale hearth
#

I was thinking of avatar ideas recently, and i had a good one (at least I think it's good), but im not sure if anyone would care or like it

agile solar
#

?

pale hearth
#

and im not even sure if it would come out correctly if someone tried, but think of the Colossi from Shadow of the Colossus, but small enough that they dont abstruct half the worlds they join, and with proper animations and stuff

#

mostly im unsure if anyone would care because most people these days want humanoid avatars, and most of the colossi are an animal or sorts, plus they all have super intricate designs from what I can tell, especially Barasaran, Hydrus, and

#

Malus

harsh raven
#

The biggest issue with non-humanoid avatars is finding good animations for them that don't look jank af

#

Because last I saw there aren't many people just up and giving away free good quadruped animations

harsh raven
#

Hey all so I'm heading to bed but uh

#

I just uploaded my model and now it's stretched beyond recognition into the sky and the camera zooms all over the place from simply looking around

#

What the heck happened to my model?? It looks completely fine in Unity in play mode and everything, even lets me line up the camera to take a pic during the upload period

#

But then that happens in-game

tranquil pulsar
#

@harsh raven I'm not sure if this is the issue or not, but worth a shot. Do you have any kind of colliders on the model? Having any sort of collider on the model that is not marked "is trigger" can cause weird issues like that. I've never seen it cause that issue specifically but I know that with colliders there's really no telling.

harsh raven
#

Oh fuck I forgot about that!!! Thanks so much

wintry glade
#

Also make sure your reset and apply your armature in the humanoid configuration

pale hearth
#

I mean, i totally would spend hours meticulously finding animations and crafting each and every colossus, but 1) I don't usually have much free time, and 2) I still haven't learned how to make avatars at all

hey anyone here good with unity and mind helping me out i just started using it today

compact fog
# rose garnet how do I make an material invisible in unity?

If you want it invisible in unity and vrchat even if people have your shaders disabled, use standard fade setting with zero alpha, black, with specular turned off, and make sure the mesh renderer component on the object itself has shadow casting/receiving turned off

hazy oar
#

not sure where to ask this so here goes:
so I followed the instructions on the map for community based pvp system
I'm wondering how the melee system is set up because my melee weapons are killing me when I toggle them on

#

I have the damage particles go through the blade of my melee weapons

low whale
#

I'm not really familiar with that but if it involves particle collision, it could be a layer issue. Maybe you need to set your particles up to collide with only the player layer? Your own body is on the "playerlocal" layer, if you left your collision settings default they would collide with "everything", which would include yourself.

hazy oar
#

I understand that, the pvp system has melee classes like brawler, tank, assault, and probably assassin
so I'm wondering how their combat abilities are setup to not hurt themselves

low whale
#

I don't know what this pvp system is but if it uses particle collision it'll be the layer configuration that I mentioned

weary trout
#

im looking for a avatar developer to help me out i have an idea and you can give me a price off that

neon zenith
#

^

neon finch
#

hello

primal pond
#

@hazy oar So I actually know the people who worked on that system, according to one them the way you avoid hitting yourself, you literally turn off the particle locally for you

#

vrc has a built in boolean parameter named "IsLocal" that's only true if you're wearing the avatar and isn't synced across the network

#

I have yet to try this out myself but it seems to work for them

#

Anyone think it's weird that stealing models from video games is more acceptable than stealing models from each other in this game?

silver adder
#

It's not condoned, but nothing bad really happens unless a DMCA takedown gets sent their way.

#

Even then, it's nearly impossible to stop with how much this game relies on user-generated content.

valid patrol
#

You have people who ask for vrchat to make it not possible to rip other users avatars, and they even have a report option for stolen avatars. But nothing would be said about a ripped Mario model. (Other than don't talk about getting the model)

silver adder
#

Mostly because people don't care if a model was taken from another game, they are only concerned if their original art gets stolen.

valid patrol
#

Big video game 3d modelers have feelings too 😔

wintry glade
#

There's a huge difference between using game assets and using someone's private model? Using a game asset is similar to wearing a t-shirt with the companies logo on it lol

valid patrol
#

You paid for the shirt

wintry glade
#

Paid for the game too, every company has their own individual stance on it, but most from what I've seen enjoy content created by their users regardless if its from scratch or using in game assets

valid patrol
#

When you buy the game, you aren't buying the rights to the assets

#

You get the finished product

#

They don't just give you the model, you have to extract it.

wintry glade
#

Some companies do give you the models. Like I said, broad generalizations are difficult since companies do things differently

Nintendo isn't giving you their models

#

That's probably 99% of ripped avatars

wintry glade
#

Nintendo is a specific case since they hate user made content usually. Also definitely not 99%, thats purely anecdotal.

valid patrol
#

Sega is like the only company that does that

fluid grotto
hasty hemlock
#

also the video game artists are paid with salaries so they already got their money from the models whereas vrchat Avatar creators are dealing in direct sales of avatars

sand wren
#

most of the time companies could care less about ripped assets

#

unless theyre affecting copyright, impacting sales, or making bank, its not usually something they care about

#

the developers usually give their rights to the asset to the company also so the individual doesnt have much control over that

#

also the company released a game, the character is a part of that game, its not the same as someone releasing a character cuz that wouldn't just be ripping, but also piracy/theft

#

not a lawyer but this is what ive noticed in many cases

fluid grotto
#

Even if the models weren’t ripped, if they were simply fan recreations, they’d still be copyright infringement. All fanart is, companies just don’t act on it because it would be received very negatively.

Free advertising 🤷‍♂️

# valid patrol Anyone think it's weird that stealing models from video games is more acceptable...

Another late reply to this that I'm surprised no one mentioned, is simply the aspect of personal identity that frequently comes into that question regarding VR-Chat.
Mario is Mario. If someone rips a Mario model and wears it around the game, it's little more than a cosplay.
If someone rips the personal avatar from someone, regardless of whether that avatar is a 100% from scratch work, or a relatively basic MMD edit, it's still someones adopted identity.
For many many users, there's a massive sense of personal insult and violation attached to that.
It's like if someone could steal your physical likeness IRL, and go around slandering your image. For many it's a deeply unsettling concept, enough to make them avoid any risk of it at all costs.

#

This aspect is obviously specific to actual private personal avatars, and is somewhat different for public avatars or people who don't maintain a consistent identity in their avatars.

zinc sapphire
#

do humanoid armatures have to have a neck bone? what if your avatar doesn't have a neck?

fluid grotto
zinc sapphire
#

hm, well that's inconvenient

fluid grotto
#

You can just insert a tiny bone in blender and weight it slightly

zinc sapphire
#

I'll try that. What about hands? Can you have just an index and thumb?

fluid grotto
#

Bone wise you need at least three bones coming off of each hand. You don’t need to model anything on them they just need to exist in the armature even if it’s not part of the model

zinc sapphire
#

oh, cool. thanks for the help

north quiver
#

where can i ask for avatars?

valid patrol
#

VrcTraders

#

If you a trying to ask for one to be made... Extremely unlikely anyone will. If the avatar is already made and in game and are trying to find where to get it, I guess here, but you'd need to have a photo of it.

clear crater
#

is it possible to make audio appear in a ring zone instead of a sphere? 🤔

#

im not even sure where to ask

nocturne creek
#

If I get your meaning correctly, sort of yes.
You can use a custom fall off curve to make it only audible at a certain range.

#

Eg, 0% volume out to 10 meters, then it raises before falling off again.

#

Bear in mind that range limits in VR-Chat might interfere with it at longer ranges. I've not done anything with audio in a while so am rusty on the specifics.

clear crater
#

aah, i see

#

audio range is one cursed thing in vrchat, never worked the way you expect it to for me

#

so i might be in for some fun troubleshooting

If you want to reliably test an audio source without needing to bug friends to run back and forth to give you impressions of it, would probably help to put the audio source on a fixed world object.

clear crater
#

good idea

lunar halo
#

is there a way to make it so a toggled animation overrides all other animations until its toggled off?

#

for example I have this screen, set to different expressions with my hand gestures (Index Controllers) but I have a toggle that makes this screen do an old windows blue screen of death, but when that BSOD is toggled on my hand gestures still change the screen to the expressions

clear crater
#

if you use the idle animation switches to toggle the bsod, you could set all other shape keys to 0 in that idle

#

i think

#

i know gestures can override shape keys like that, i dont know about idles

I've seen like an asmr hairbrush prop on some avatars. Does anyone know if that's a prefab or exists as a package somewhere?

fluid grotto

Well if you have a model of a hair brush and a sound file I think it might be easy to set up yourself. Sounds like an object playing a loop on wake

uneven dragon
#

Is there a way to tell if a model is SDK2 or SDK3? I downloaded some vrchat models to use but I don't know which SDK I need

low whale
#

If it's just a model you can use it with either, but if it comes with assets you can just for example, create an SDK3 project and import the package and see if it comes with expression parameters/menu or any custom controllers. If it has an avatar descriptor attached the script will also be broken if it's the wrong SDK. But there's (most likely) no reason you couldn't adapt an SDK2 package for SDK3 if you wanted to by just using any provided animation clips in SDK3 controllers

lunar halo
#

sooo is there seriously no viewport camera speed slider or adjustments in Unity?

uneven dragon
#

each model in the pack i downloaded has a version labeled "noIK", what does this mean and should I use that version?

merry swan

Sounds old , newer models usually have it auto set up, those might have the old 'hack' for ik

manual atlasing requires that you manually unwrap the objects into a 2nd uv map

which u can make in the same window where u can edit shapekeys

and then u can use Cycles to bake the textures onto the new uv map

its called texture baking usually

Hey there. So I have two issues

  1. I have an issue with animations. When I use the action menu using animations, the animation stops and starts immediately, as in, it starts, then immediately stops, and repeats the pattern until I toggle it off. For the introduction transition, it has no exit time, and a condition of "VRCEmote" that equals a number based on whatever the action menu has as a toggle. For the ending transition, it has no exit time, and has a condition of "VRCEmote" that equals a number based on whatever the action menu has as a toggle, which is also the same as the introduction transition of that emote. The emote itself is a looped animation.

  2. I have another issue with animations. One of my animations has a toggle for a pillow to appear behind the head as they're laying down. Unfortunately, through each of the other animations in the set, it appears for them too, even though in those other animations, there doesn't have an "is active" property in the animation.

If anyone can help me, or needs any more information, please message me

No, at least, unless it's changed since release. You have to rebuild your avatars from scratch with AV3. I haven't tried it, but installing AV3 in a project that had AV2 will cause issues. @proper idol

# neon finch whats the difference between 2.0 avatars and 3.0 avatars

2.0 only lets you replace the default animations
3.0 lets you substitute your own entire animation controllers and behaviors and have menus trees and controls for the avatar. It also has better eye tracking control.

If none of that makes sense you, you are free to use 2.0, it’s simpler.

huh

do 3.0 avatars still get bugged and go underground when playing an animation if their height was changed in unity?

any way to toggle multiple accessories on and off with a single parameter without making animations that combine them? like if i have a hat and glasses and i want to have one, the other or both

wintry glade
#

From the any node, have it so:
0 is neither
1 is hat
2 is glasses
3 is both
If you don't want to combine animations for some reason, you would need 2 layers, you should just create a new animation for the combination to keep it all on one layer.

merry swan
#

if 3 = equal 1+2 , enable 1 and 2

eternal mural
#

multiple layers with a single parameter? 🤔

merry swan
#

transitions can have yeh

#

seperate layer so its kinda dumb

eternal mural
#

cause making animations for all the combinations if i have horns lenses hat and a choker sounds like pain 🙃

merry swan
#

Use seperate layers for each object then, and just use 2 conditions on transition , then you can enable a bunch same time without making more animations

#

it will 'studder' tiny but as they are enabled (<0.01sec) but should be fine

eternal mural
#

Thanks! ill try that

fluid grotto
#

2 Layers would be the "proper unity animation controller" way of doing it, a Glasses layer and Hat layer.

u can put the particles and sounds and whatnot in FX

and make sure to use the appropriate state behaviors for disable/re-enable tracking and blending

im trying to have both emotes and fx layer on quest, but i can only have 1 animator

make an animator for Action following similar setup to what the template has

and one for FX

#

particles/effects/sounds in FX
movement/posing/scaling in Action

torpid schooner
#

but the avatar performance ranking system says 1?

sand wren
#

lol thats a completely different thing

#

that is the count of animators OUTSIDE of the descriptor

which is something you had to do in SDK2 very frequently

oohhh

for example to have a wagging tail u needed an animator in tail or armature

torpid schooner

i see

#

Thank you for clearing that up. Im new to avatar creation

but now that u can edit the animators directly without making new ones

doesnt affect the ranking

So I've been learning the avatar system for s few days now, and I think I'm ready to say:

#

Damn the official documentation sucks dude

#

I'm hoping I'm just totally missing something on the wiki, but it's like maybe 10 pages of sort of vague Info about the APK and then it just links out to other people's guides and tutorials

#

I'm making progress, but it's really made me appreciate the level of detail that stuff like UE4 or Unity itself goes into

fluid grotto
#

VRChat documentation is no substitute for a education in 3D modeling and game development. Blender and unity knowledge is assumed

neon mortar
#

tbh i didnt like the av3 documentation either. and ive been working with blender and unity ever since i started this game back in early 2018

#

the only thing i got from it was that you could trigger the afk on desktop with the "end" key.

#

only reason i know anything is because a friend helped me out early on. and they hated the doc aswell.

fluid grotto
#

Well the av3 documentation is not gonna give you a course in unity animation controllers. It’s not something av3 made

neon mortar
#

well it doesnt sound like something most people would have known anyway going into it. so atleast a quick rundown of some things would have helped...

fluid grotto
#

That’s why I said unity knowledge is assumed

verbal yew
#

tbf, in the first page of the 3.0 docs they say you need unity animator controller knowledge to use it

#

and they link to the unity docs page on it

fluid grotto
#

Not just “experience using unity for previous versions of VRChat”

#

Is there anyone one here that can make a Harry Potter avatar?

merry swan
#

When i started 3.0 stuff, some of the things from world triggers seemed familiars and their controllers, so i adopted that to 3.0 after that it got easier

# fluid grotto VRChat documentation is no substitute for a education in 3D modeling and game de...

I'm not brand new to any of these concepts or tools. I work mostly with UE4 but I've worked with Unity in the past, admittedly not with the animation side very much however. My wife is a professional 3D modeler and is providing the models for us, so I'm only concerned with rigging and in-engine stuff. I don't mind if knowledge of something else is implied, I mean it's an API basically. I wouldn't get annoyed if OpenGL docs didn't explain the basics of C++, which they don't.

But, what it does do is provide lots of visual examples of how features interact with the API, and really detailed breakdowns of how some features work behind the scenes. Normally that's more than anyone will need, but sometimes it's crucial for understanding things like performance optimization. There really isn't much of that in the VRC documentation, but I realize that ultimately it's just a videogame, not an enterprise-level graphics pipeline or something lol

#

And i'll admit I was actually a bit wrong, after exploring the wiki a bit more I found quite a bit more info relevant to avatars sort of spread around

#

I've just kinda been compiling my own notes as I've found stuff, maybe if I don't suck at this one day I'll write my own guide instead of just complaining ¯_(ツ)_/¯

well less work for her but the product will be worse

#

I'd sort of been interested in doing rigging too, apparently it's often a whole separate position in big studios.

eager horizon
#

yeah because people hate doing it lol

novel chasm
#

When she used to rig stuff, she'd spend the same amount of time doing the rigging as it took to model and texture lmfao

eager horizon
#

well yeah, its as important as a good mesh or good textures

#

no matter how good your model looks, if it doesnt move right it just wont look good

#

theres whole books written about rigging

no wonder you want me to do it asshole

verbal yew
#

hey im sure someone loves weight painting

cloud imp
#

dont even get me started on that

eager horizon
#

I am sure some people love taxes

verbal yew
#

i would bother with shapekeys too if blender wasnt terrible at exporting them

#

so i have to weight paint face bones too

cloud imp
#

if you have an edu account you can get Maya

verbal yew
#

yh im considering moving to maya just for the better shape key support and the better subdivide

#

both are python too so it wouldnt be too different recreating my workflows

cloud imp
#

Honestly I only use Blender for the sculpting portion and thats just because Im too cheap for Zbrush

eager horizon
#

maya has its own issues when it comes to shape keys

#

mostly naming them can be a problem

novel chasm
#

Lowkey, some community colleges give you an EDU email just for applying. So you can just pay the cheap application fee, get your EDU and never enroll in any classes

verbal yew
#

lolol well im college so its no problem

novel chasm
#

also, damn did not expect anyone else to be up this early

#

its 5am where im at lol

verbal yew
#

oh yeah i remember, blender's fbx exporter will not export any shapekeys if you have any modifiers

#

why? hell if i know, but it means i can't keep my current nice nondestructive workflow :-/

cloud imp
#

Thats pretty awful

eager horizon
#

well, you cant export modifiers at all

#

so they all get applied

verbal yew
#

yeah, but it makes no sense because blender already correctly interpolates shapekeys through your modifier stack anyway

#

im guessing it's just not something they've gotten to fixing yet

novel chasm
#

ah, the joy of freeware

verbal yew
#

but if maya can do it im all in

#

they also have specific subdivision by vertex groups as well i heard, which i really want

eager horizon
#

one thing I dont like about maya is that theres not many transform shortcuts

#

its all gizmos

verbal yew
#

oh really? like how bad? i pretty much never have the blender gizmos enabled

cloud imp
#

You can modify the mesh but its done after you use a modifier. I honestly barely use any modifiers

eager horizon
#

like its the only way to move stuff around, theres no "press button move mouse, click" its all just gizmos

cloud imp
#

I love using the gizmos. Theres keyboard shortcuts to move stuff around certain ways. Holding C will snap the object to a Curve and similar stuff like that

eager horizon
#

well, all I mean by that is just because of the amount of nice shortcuts in blender the simple stuff gets done much faster in blender than in maya

#

but there are definitely some things I would love from maya in blender

#

for animation and rigging maya is just so much better

cloud imp
#

I tried learning Blender years ago but then I went to school and did Maya there so I got use to using Mayas workflow

eager horizon
#

probably for the better

#

still the go to choice for industry

#

though I do have to say blender has changed a lot throughout the years

verbal yew
#

have you weight painted in maya much?

#

in blender it's kind of so-so

eager horizon
#

I have watched people weight paint in it before

#

and it looks a bit better

cloud imp
#

I dont like weight painting in any program. Im still getting used to it in Maya

eager horizon
#

this is something that helped me when painting in blender

verbal yew
#

oooh i didnt know that was an option

eager horizon
#

yea

#

you can contrast no weight a bit of weight a lot to avoid small mistakes

verbal yew
#

for me the main problem is that weight painting itself is absolute garbo, i usually have to randomly click around until it finally decides to paint that vertex

#

and theres no easy way to select your bones either, afaik you have to have the vertex group pane open

eager horizon
#

thats because youre not actually clicking the vertex

#

youre clicking in between the vertecies

verbal yew
#

oh no i am, i have the wireframe enabled

eager horizon
#

turn on wireframe

#

oh

#

I personally never have a problem with that

verbal yew
#

yh, i dunno if its because there's very little polys for smth

#

but it just adds onto the pain

late tartan
#

@verbal yew ctrl-alt-left click does a radial weight paint

#

Makes for buttery smooth weight painting

#

It also paints through the mesh

#

Use alt b to mask out the areas you don't want to paint

verbal yew
#

ooh what?? ill try that thanks!

hearty helm
#

Sooooooo

#

I'm having an issue with one of my models. In full body

#

Everything seems right...

#

but then in VRC.

#

Crooked Hip.

#

One leg's higher than the other.

#

Applied all transforms, visuals and objects.. Fixed model with Cats..

#

Made sure all the bones were.. symmetrical, Using the Vertical Armature for it, no Fullbody Hacks.

#

Did away with those and never actually used any of 'em.

#

The moment I heard they would break stuff in the future.

teal path
#

I think that happens when the hip bone is too far down? can I get a picture of the armature?

hearty helm
#

Really? Uh...

teal path
#

Not sure

hearty helm
#

I remember that if the Hip Bone was \ Like this with the Upper part of the leg bones.

#

it'D try to.. straighten itself and cause Hunchback.

#

but lemme screenshot it.

#

Had to go in edit and click the hip.

#

To have it seen.

teal path
#

I uh cant tell whats going on due to the huge amount of what i assume are skirt bones

hearty helm
#

That was gonna be.. one of my attempts.. trying to look at the rigging and position Spine and/or hips proper.

#

Hair at the back.

teal path
#

Oh hair

#

sideways screenshot maybe?

hearty helm
#

Just hid all the other bones at the back.

teal path
#

Thats front view

hearty helm
#

Aiiiight.

teal path
#

hmm lemme check my models

#

Honestly cant see any differences

hearty helm
#

......

jade latch
#

can i convert a 2.0 to a 3.0?

teal path
hearty helm
#

Well thats annoying, for both things.

teal path
#

See this one keeps getting linked so

#

Maybe you can find a fix there

teal path
#

as it usually breaks everything

#

replacing the sdk isnt the only thing that has to be done

#

so its recommended to make a new project

jade latch
#

ok also if i have a avatar that is already uploaded (my friend gave me the unity file all i had to do is upload it) can i edit it?

hearty helm
#

You'd be correct paci.

#

Gotta raise the hips/Spine.

teal path
#

thats not the tilt issue tho

jade latch
#

i wanna do things like fix the hair going thru body and joints

hearty helm
#

Its not,

#

but I do shift down as well.

teal path
hearty helm
#

mmmmh....

#

There also is a.. Tilt fix.

#

But I'd have to swing my hip to the side until its... correct?

#

So that'll be trial and error.

#

But seems like I got all my... required solutions to get my stuff fixed.

#

But yea, thanks for the pointers!

jade latch
#

if I wanna make a animation that draws gun and shoots at x seconds how? Ive gotten the gun to spawn and the arm to move but thats it

#

Are stage parameters going to be made persistent across sessions any time soon? I have some avatar projects that I’m holding off on because they are so customizable that not having persistence makes a good bit of it just overkill if it can’t persist.

(Did a whole thing where it stores multiple presets to save and load)

if u connect your quest 2 to a pc does that mean u can use pc avatar for vr chat

silver adder
#

Yes.

#

When you connect to a PC, your playing the full PC version of VRChat.

#

The game runs on the PC though, so gotta make sure your PC can run the game in VR well enough.

Can anyone help me find an avatar I'm looking for

sand wren
#

vrc need to add an option to have old gesture weight behavior optional

#

where it changes the layer weights rather than just a parameter

neon finch
#

Old gesture weight behaviour?

mellow rain
#

Ive seen a lot of people with the loli avatar with the sniper on her back with the shift + f5 gesture being the dance emote that makes her start walking and gradually grow bigger plus an emote that has 2 guns by her side. I was wondering if anybody had that avatar and if i could clone it? I can't seem to find it in the avatar worlds ive been in.

novel chasm
#

So the documentation says to keep things around 70,000 polygons, but how many do you think the average model actually has? I rarely see high performance models in VRC, especially not for decent quality stuff

#

i guess what im asking if anyone knows the "categories" 70k is obviously best case, but how hard is it to go from "best" to "moderate" to "low" ect

foggy pelican
#

If it's an anime model it needing more than like 50k - 60k is already a bit excessive.
One of my friends for some reason doesn't believe that the 70k poly limit is warranted, despite what Oculus says about performance targets in Unity. Instead claiming that polygons on avatars of 160k or so is completely fine. In-fact I see him and a decent amount of his friends run around with over 120k poly models quite a bit.

Basically what I'm saying is that what somebody sees the average as for polygons really depends on their group and how they see the situation.

novel chasm
#

Ah okay thanks, of course it's all cumulative as well i suppose, you can probably have a lot of polygons if you don't have dynamic bones or crazy shaders, and you could probably have some dynamic bones or shaders if you go easy on the polygons I imagine

foggy pelican
#

You can have a lot of polys but it's not going to be good for a world with quite a lot of people.

novel chasm
#

We where just adding some pretty straight forward hair to a model and the polygon count was shooting up into space lol already reduced it to about half the count but was wondering if people really try to hit that 70k limit like a religion or if its more of a guideline

#

thanks for the info

fluid grotto
#

We need a channel #can-anyone-help-me-find-an-avatar, everyone will ignore it, but at least there will be a correct channel for it

neon mortar
#

i second this

sullen kettle
#

Same here

sullen kettle
#

generally about questions like that where would I go to ask?

timber kindle
fluid grotto
#

No one here knows all the millions of avatars in the game :p

sullen kettle
#

it would make it so much easier

#

is there a server where ppl do know?

#

I generally came here about that aswell lol

timber kindle
#

well i also came to ask how to make avatars

fluid grotto
#

I don’t think there are any people like that

#

There are more avatar choices than there are players - most people will be entirely unique and countless new avatars are uploaded every day

sullen kettle
#

I mean there's a spacific avatar that ive been seeing a lot of

#

so i mean it's pretty common yet obscure

#

also...I have no idea how to check which world an avatar comes from, I know theres a way you can but I just don't know how

fluid grotto
#

You can show avatar author then click their name to view their worlds

#

However avatars don’t need worlds

#

Some just spread via cloning and aren’t found in any world

#

@sullen kettle

sullen kettle
#

Ohhh I see

fluid grotto
#

I would actually propose that most avatars these days don’t even have worlds.

#

If you want an avatar someone else is wearing and they have their cloning off, the best way to get it is to ask them if they can turn their cloning on.

neon finch
#

do you think avatar 3.0 programming model (animations + variables + state machine) is turing complete?

neon mortar
#

what?

neon finch
#

i mean you can't do general scripting (udon/C#)in avatars. but i think it might be possible to achieve almost anything through combination of animation controllers/ animations and variables

fluid grotto
#

Animation controllers are literally state machines and they can read values, evaluate them, branch based on them, and set values via parameter drivers

#

All overkill for turing completeness - redstone does it with less

#

If you can emulate something turing complete (redstone) you are also turing compete

Hey, I don't know if this is the right place to do this but I need somebody to make a avatar for me, it shouldn't be to difficult, and yes I am willing to pay. DM if you are interested.

#

@neon finch use CATS blender plugin in blender to import the .vrm from Vroid studio and fix it up, then you can export it as an FBX

#

FBX is the standard for avatars

lets use write defaults off workflow!

lets give beginners a headache with the new animator templates and make it incompatible with gesture layers!

Is there a better way to publish avatars cross-platform than copying over the folder and changing the build target? It would be nice to be able to just import a rigged model into both of my projects separately and have them reference the same avatar vs having to go through the process of copying everything and changing the build target each time.

agile solar
#

Which SDK are you using?

dim knot
#

agile solar

So I should ask questions in the channel made for crashes and bugs? It's not very descriptive of what it's purpose is.

No, no. I mistook this channel for user-support..

You’d think there’d be at least a few Skylander avatars

mortal swallow
#

Not really

sand wren
#

good if ur making animators that work on both of the models

#

that or just have both projects open, a quest version and a pc version of project

#

and copy paste stuff from one to the other in file explorer

dim knot
#

Hmmm, making a folder that links to another, huh? I tried detaching the blueprint ID and using that to publish them separately but that didn't seem to work.

sand wren
#

youre not supposed to

#

you have to publish them to the same avatar

#

so that they are supported for both versions

#

i recommend making 2 projects, one for quest, one for PC

#

then u can share assets between them

#

without needing to convert the whole entire project each time

dim knot
#

Sorry, I still don't understand. I can copy over the FBX, sure, but publishing the same model on different platforms gives me two different avatars, both of which are exclusive to a single platform. Is the avatar data stored somewhere that I'm missing?

sand wren
#

on the vrchat cloud

#

the blueprint ID is the asset id for the avatar

#

anything you publish to that ID is published to that asset

#

so if you make a quest and a pc version with same ID

#

it uploads each version for each platform to the same asset

#

same for worlds

dim knot
#

So to do that I would have to detach the pipeline and then enter in the avatar ID manually, right? I tried that earlier and it didn't seem to be working but I'll have to try again

sand wren
#

yea, but u can only see the avatar on that platform

#

no way to see the quest avatar on PC

dim knot
#

Okay, I think I understand. I will try that, the pipeline just doesn't seem to stay detached after publishing so i got confused. Thanks.

sand wren
#

because its not supposed to

#

like i said before, the pipeline id is the asset id for the avatar

#

so of course if theres nothing there it has to generate somewhere to place your new asset

#

and that gets stored in the pipeline id

i have an idea for really good creators of avatars it is really hard to find marvel avatars well how about a marvel avatar world

mossy hornet
#

Has anyone tried adding more emotes than 8? i tried adding more to the Actions controller by adding new conditions (ex. VRCEmote Equals 10) I'm guessing there's still a limit?

static canopy
#

Smol question but, Im a quest 2 user whos had a hard time finding an avatar that they really like, and I know Quest users cant upload an avatar from the web. But I was wondering if I found an avatar online I liked or had one made, is it possible for me to have a pc player upload it for me so I can get it in game?
Or do I have to hope I find a public world that has one I enjoy?

lament relic
#

You can get someone to upload it for you yes although it's not recommended you should keep your avatars on your account

silver adder
#

If you have a PC, you can upload it yourself. You don't need a particularly strong PC to run the Unity Editor.

low whale
# mossy hornet Has anyone tried adding more emotes than 8? i tried adding more to the Actions c...

The limit with the default variable would be 255. By default the example controller uses 9-16 for seated emotes for you would have to start at 17 or repurpose the transitions a bit. Make sure to check the couple of states before the emotes because by default the conditions also only check for values below 17. It's easy to modify, just have to think about how you want the logic to work and modify the transitions a little

mossy hornet
#

Oh yeah, i forgot about seated emotes, i'll try starting from 17, thanks

low whale
#

Yeah just make sure you check the previous states' transition conditions or it won't work

static canopy
lament relic
#

@static canopy what that's more than enough to upload an avatar

does anyone know of apps that can help make avatars, but for low end pcs? if you don’t know what i mean, stuff like vroid, tafi etc.

There is a application to make the avatars?

There's a lot of programs to make avatars with, the most popular being Blender.

Yeah I got blender I just need to take the time to learn it

An alternative method is VRoid Studio.
