Huh, so my comparison is partially appt

verbal yew
#

is c+ the prequel to c++? :v

cobalt wyvern
#

Yeah

#

I'm more comparing a plug and play coding language to where you have to wright every line of code

rain grotto
#

So ive been told it would be around £100 to beable to have a avatar that has my actual IRL clothes attached but the model and face and stuff be just a normal edgy/eboy skin, is that right? I would rather learn and just do it myself but seems difficult tbh thats why im thinking about paying someone to do it instead. Please @ me

mortal swallow
#

Sounds about right. @rain grotto

cobalt wyvern
#

Body scanning is kind of expensive

verbal yew
#

i think they just mean their fashion, not actually body scanning their clothes

cobalt wyvern
#

If you want in any quality as well as rigging, model fixing, texturing so on and so forth

rain grotto
#

Like i could make the fromt back and sides or whatever of all the clothing items on photoshop so is there a way i can turn that into a 3d item or something

rain grotto
cobalt wyvern
#

Oh that would be annoying but not hard to do

FYI I have no experience with this type of 3D modeling I'm just good at drawing conclusions

rain grotto
cobalt wyvern
#

Some of that stuff woul be on an asset store

rain grotto
verbal yew
#

do you have an already existing avatar already or will it be created from nothing?

#

if it's the latter then $100 is pretty reasonable

cobalt wyvern
#

What if you have a unity model already?

#

And you're paying for them to rig it?

rain grotto
verbal yew
#

then you could probably get it cheaper, depending on how high quality you want the clothes to be

verbal yew
cobalt wyvern
#

Would expect so

verbal yew
#

reminder that rigging is some people's full time jobs

cobalt wyvern
#

I think 50 bucks plus

#

And I think it would only be the rigging

agile solar
#

There's ways to get basic rigging on a model with Adobe something-or-other.

cobalt wyvern
#

I would just need to rig it I have a model already.

Anyone heard of heroforge?

rain grotto
#

So any advice on how or where to get a base model and the clothes or how to make the clothes?

verbal yew
#

vroid or mmd, clothing is probably the easiest part

#

i don't use bases so im not an expert on it, thats just the recommendations ive heard

#

clothing is just a couple of triangles around the chest, legs, etc and weight painted and the body underneath deleted

verbal yew
#

really all you need to take care of is the weight painting

cobalt wyvern
#

Huh, I would need to modify the model. There is a base along with another thing so it would take a decent bit of effort

#

Maybe I could ask in rigging see what they think

livid willow
#

question: is there a way to slow down the blinking animation?

#

for reference I'm just using blendshapes

merry swan
#

sure you can just set the speed and toggle it to slower/faster

livid willow
#

where do I find this option?

merry swan
#

in the controller, click the animation state , inspector - speed

carmine sail
#

Does anyone know of a Hatching/Crosshatching shader I could use? Paid is fine if thats all anyone can find. The character is from a black/white comic so I want it to be somewhat authentic to it's original medium.

Not to be confused with halftones.

#

There are probably a 6 or 7 digit amount of avatars in the game. The chance of someone here knowing one (unless it went viral) is very unlikely

late tartan
#

Also it's highly likely that's a private avatar

#

Does anyone know if there’s an attack on Titan warhammer avatar?

agile solar
#

... AoTxWarhammer? o__O

mortal swallow
#

How can I make a SDK2 avatar into a SDK3 one? Would it have to be redone?

late tartan
#

Yes you'd have to re do a lot of things

#

It's honestly better to go into 3.0 with a completely new avatar/ idea in mind unless you really like that older avatar

#

Some things that are easy in 2.0 are not as simple in 3.0

#

And vise versa

mortal swallow
#

Hmm

neon finch
#

Remove the Avatar Descriptor script and the pipeline manager if you care from the SDK2 avatar, you can also throw away your Animator Controller Overrides but can also keep them to stay organized.
Export the FBX of the avatar, props, materials and textures, animations and scene. Those should all be compatible. Don't export all dependencies and random things you don't need, especially don't import anything from VRCSDK etc.

Import into the SDK3 project. You now have your avatar and its source files. Open your scene, avatar should still be set up with all your edits and additional components like dynamic bones. Put on a SDK3 AV descriptor to get started. Do what you need there.
Create/copy your custom Animator Controllers for the different layers of the avatar. Put the imported animations in and/or create the proper states, transitions and parameters to get the effect you want. Note some might need to be separated into tranform animations and non-transform animations for proper results.

Now you have a SDK3 avatar that uses the assets from the SDK2 avatar without too many issues.

mortal swallow
#

Epic. Nice

#

Thanks

sharp marsh
#

Anyone know why I can’t create avatar it says no asset bundle has been set

neon finch
#

hey guys make a particle system with maxed out collision shapes it has a really visual effect

#

then play it

robust orchid
#

are lods possible

#

for characters

foggy pelican
#

no

steel iron
#

The answer isn't no.

#

It's a matter of how you want it done.

#

There are ways to achieve it.

#

On an avatar made for that, yes. But in VRC as a setting? No, we don't have that.

upper remnant
#

@robust orchid there is a package here in the downloads section called "Proximity FX". it wouldn't be hard to do LOD with that

#

out of the box it has 3 ranges which drive a local parameter based on player collision

robust orchid
#

@upper remnant would that actually help performance though

upper remnant
#

in most cases, no, because single avatars are pretty negligible and culling hypothetically saves some drawcalls already

#

it might if you have a lot of dynamic bones but don't want to affect people a certain distance away, still looking at you

#

might also be relevant for some expensive animation you are doing that you don't want to animate for people far away

robust orchid
#

hypothetically if i introduced this as a method to help optimize characters to a wide audience of people who did it would it be worth the effort

#

Instead of it being a 1 character thing if like 20-30 people did it would it be worth it

upper remnant
#

potentially yes

robust orchid
#

Would automatic decimation for lods ever be possible in the future as far as you know anyways

#

idk if that's possible even in other engines

#

I've always had to manually do my lods in other games

upper remnant
#

it's probably possible if directly implemented by vrchat but i don't think they would do that

robust orchid
#

If the game runs better more people will enjoy it if more people enjoy it more people will pay for vrchat +

#

it seems like common sense to me

#

I do understand however that developing features like this require a lot of time and effort and will most definitely bring lots of bugs

#

and time and effort costs money

#

Ultimately i don't blame the devs I blame alot of newbie creators for not caring about optimization

merry swan
#

🤔 holding back cause old computers cant handle it , would just drive creators away

fluid grotto
#

People say vrchat breaks down with only a few people but I am just not seeing it. Had a room full of vr users and everything was nice and smooth.

neon finch
#

hi

fluid grotto
#

But I tend to hang with people who keep their material count low

robust orchid
#

It's not just old computers though every saturday i go to events and everyone is always complaining about horrible performance in these lobbies

#

To be fair these lobbies are usually 20-30 people with very poor avayars

#

avatars

#

very poor optimized avatars*

merry swan
#

Settings exsist, few people seem to edit it

robust orchid
#

true perf blocking does exist

upper remnant
#

it's probably not sheer polygons that kill performance in lobbies though

merry swan
#

Disabling dynamic bones is one thing some do wich is just plain dumb, edit the limit instead

fluid grotto
#

My settings:
Default limits for dynamic bones
Default particle limit in config file (untouched)
Friends have no safety restrictions
Non-friends have voice, avatars, and shaders. But no sounds, lights, or custom animations.

#

Neve lag..

upper remnant
#

i go in raw, also never lag

#

decent cpu though

merry swan
#

Im in huge worlds from 30 to 70~ ish people and 40~ fps thats with alot of very poor avatars

livid depot
#

I have an intel 8700 6 core

#

I wanna upgrade it ngl vr chat has started to get my cpu high

fluid grotto
#

Disabling sounds and animations for non-friends is more to cut out spam than lag

#

Thankfully it still animates the humanoid bones over network Ik so you still get most of the idea what they are doing

#

I can’t block shaders, it just makes the game ugly

robust orchid
#

My issue with optimizing my character is the seperate clothing meshes

#

I've merged as many as i can

#

I can't merge skirts and stuff to my main body and then shrink them with shapekeys and i don't want to add transparency because they're on the same atlas as my body and i also don't want to split them to another texture because i don't want to have too many materials.
so i'm in a pickle

#

I have 3 materials but splitting the character into separate meshes because of togglability turns that up to like 9/10 materials

#

because for some reason even if something uses the same uv if its separate it's counted as another material

#

i think i know my options i just don't like any of them.

#

currently i'm keeping my character at medium optimization

#

i don't want to go to poor

sand wren
#

and it doesnt matter what your optimization level is

#

it always takes into account everything on your avatar regardless of how it works

#

so even if you can only have 2 out of all 50 clothing items active

#

it still counts them as 50 clothing items

#

currently theres no way around this and all u can do is tell people to show your avatar and that its not unoptimized

fluid grotto
#

One mesh with 8 materials is way better than two meshes with 4 materials each

#

WAY better

robust orchid
fluid grotto
#

Yes you can. Just material swap to a no-render shader

#

No transparency needed. Just a shader that doesn’t draw the object at all

robust orchid
#

I can't do that because everything is on the same texture and if I merge it with the body they'll use the same material

fluid grotto
#

No they won’t

#

You can join meshes without joining materials

#

Separate meshes can always be consolidated with no downsides

#

If you don’t join materials you just end up with their two mateiral counts added together in the combined mesh

#

All still independently addressable

#

You still save a ton of processing

sand wren
#

well sure but on quest u cant use any external shaders and none of the object shaders allow for transparency

#

so i guess all u could do is maybe use a particle shader and hope that works or something

neon finch
#

tell me how to make an avatar

agile solar
#

Well, first, you open Blender, then make a shape, turn that shape into an avatar, then boom.

neon finch
#

is blender free

#

ive never used it

agile solar
#

Blender is free, yep.

neon finch
#

sweet

#

and when i finish the avatar how do i get it into the game

agile solar
#

You use Unity.

neon finch
#

and do what \

agile solar
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

neon finch
#

great

agile solar
#

Why not look up tutorials?

hey i new

#

been looking all over and it seems no one has imported the model yet

#

i went through the website for commission but when i put up their discord name i found no results here

imported model? there lot of them. it matter where you look for them

proven tulip
#

its a sly cooper one

burnt flax
#

oh, they don't do that. but your more welcome make new avatar

proven tulip
#

its all ready ported from devientart just not in vrchat

#

anyone here do commissions ?

late tartan
# neon finch great

There's no simple answer to your question; the avatar creation process isn't a simple thing that can be learned in a day

neon finch
#

im working on it

late tartan
#

Your best bet is to follow tutorials to get started

neon finch
#

ohh ok thank you

#

i want a decent jump scare avatar one that can go invisible and not invisible know were i can find someone who can do that?

agile solar
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

neon finch
#

ah kk np

#

Did avatar scaling get fixed?

#

Seems like no

#

Weren't animations fine if rather than change the direct avatar scale you instead changed the Scale Factor in the FBX import settings? I thought that was the fix that I was told at the time. So I'm not sure what the issue still is.

#

Are you talking about the avatar remeasure?

neon finch
#

No, I was assuming you were talking about how if you had an avatar that was scaled to not 1,1,1 but .8,.8,.8 when you did an Action override animation your root would be placed in a different place and you would usually be floating or in the ground as a result.

I suppose you were talking about the remeasure avatar component then. And no, it has not yet been reimplemented.

jovial carbon
#

Looking to confirm if vrc stations are still broken when used on AV3 avatars? And if anyone has found a workaround "hack" to get them to work until they're finally fixed and working as they should

silver adder
#

They were supposed to have been fixed in a semi-recent patch.

dusk fulcrum
neon finch
fallow sequoia
neon finch
#

So would it work if it's enabled by default on the avatar - but on the animator there is an idle/default state that turns it off?
Would that still count or is the initial states specified by the animator what counts as the default?

fallow sequoia
#

That will be highly dependent on loading times. It’s possible that the disabling animation could happen early. I’d recommend not doing that, or delaying it.

jovial carbon
#

Kind of annoying that they have to be on during load in. Any plans on making it so that's not necessary? Perhaps having just the collider component off by default, then animating that on would be okay? Guess ill just do some more testing

neon finch
#

Gotcha. Interesting, thanks for the info!

Any good guides for shaders and all. I have a old avatar I made that needs work and I want to make a new one to @light flax

light flax
#

Im not the right one to ask for that. cirBox

agile solar
neon finch
#

So here's a general question, if I want to create the most performant avatar possible with a large amount of toggles and options.
Should I focus on:
Several toggleable meshes on the model
Several toggleable blendshapes to hide meshes
Several toggleable material swaps to hide/cutout meshes

Or would a combination of these methods be best.
Say for props that are only assigned to one main bone, just toggle that with a shape key
But a shirt mesh on the avatar we should do that with a separate mesh still on the armature since it needs to move with multiple bones.
etc?

upbeat elbow
#

is there anyone here good at world constraints that I could pm to ask a few questions? have a specific use case I can't quite figure out. I have something held in place with a world constraint, but i want a certain mesh on that object to always 'face' the player, but only using one rotation axis, if that's possible. haven't been able to figure it out yet using things like the look at or rotation constraint.

#

@neon finch I use mesh swaps personally, blendshapes could work too, and woulud actually probably be ideal if you're texture is atlased. not sure if you mean vrchat's 'avatar grading' performance or actual resource intensity performance, but no matter what you do you're racking up polys and material slots, just be as conscious as you can. But yeah, most people use meshes for things like outfit swaps

#

i think in theory the most optimized would be an atlassed texture for the whole avatar/props and blendshapes to show/hide the props, because you're not adding material slots by using different materials or meshes, and don't risk safety settings messing up your material cuttouts and things like that.

neon finch
#

Indeed, atlasing would be used as much as possible.
The risk with some blendshape setups is that if the mesh you hide with a blendshape is weighted to multiple bones at once, you're going to get some really weird behaviour when those bones transform any and you get bad artifacts.

upbeat elbow
#

yeah i'll be honest ive never tried showing and hiding props with blendshapes, seems like a lot of effort I just use mesh toggles. But in theory a blendshape would save you at least a material slot due to being same mesh.

neon finch
#

It's really easy if the mesh is on a bone, just pose mode, scale to 0 and save as shape key.
The couple other issues I'm aware of with blendshapes is that the polys are still active the whole time, so unlike disabling any mesh renderer, the materials and polys involved on it are still active and still draw performance costs.
And the other issue is that ocassionally I hear horror stories about a blendshape or having too many blendshapes can cause the size of your model to suddenly bloat into really bad ranges

upbeat elbow
#

Well I will say that the more separated meshes you have, the more of a noticable performance hit there is. So if you can use blendshapes and atlasing to the main Avatar texture I would imagine that would be ideal

neon finch
#

Indeed

upbeat elbow
#

also merging the various props onto one variable in one fx layer helps alot. learned that over time, a layer for each prop can cause issues.

signal solstice
#

hi

upper remnant
#

@upbeat elbow under your world constraint, have a look constraint looking at some target local to you

#

then have a rotation constraint that uses the look constraint object as a source

#

then limit the axis that the rotation constraint is active on

#

you should be left with an object that will always face you by rotating on that one axis

upbeat elbow
#

Alright I'll give that a shot thanks

neon finch
#

is anyone having

#

avatar upload problem, like it not showing up in game?

fluid grotto
# neon finch So here's a general question, if I want to create the most performant avatar pos...

Normally, same mesh but blend shapes or bones that scale to zero, however, if the mesh parts cover many different bones, scaling them to zero with a shape key will make weird thin artifacts. The best way to show/hide parts in that case are to 1.) make them a separate material on the same mesh 1.) make their shader a “No Render” shader by default and swap the material to a normal shader when you want it visible.

Never use a transparent cutout shader to hide avatar parts. Get a no render shader. They are very simple. They just don’t run any code. The mesh vanishes.

How do I get a spiderman skin

agile solar
#

There's a ton of Spidey avatars available by searching.

worldly rivet
#

Ok

#

Also I have an oculus quest 2 got it yesterday but in vr chat it stopped letting me move my fingers

agile solar
#

You probably disabled gestures.

worldly rivet
#

Oh ok I'll try and fix it thank you

tacit osprey
#

Hold down your menu button then go to gestures

dreamy lily
#

anyone can guide me to a video or details on how to toggle items but toggle them in with animations?

#

like have a mask dissolve onto your face for example

loud cape
#

@dreamy lily some shaders like the poiyomi shaders have a dissolve effect, with a slider that you can use to go from the item being totally invisible, to being fully rendered, while doing a dissolve animation

#

it would be the "alpha blend" slider

#

you can just animate that slider

dreamy lily
#

so what you're telling me

#

is to record the toggle of the item but intead of the usual hide and unhide to record putting the item on, i just crank up the alpha slider all the from 0 to 1?

loud cape
#

pretty much

#

you could do it with 2 animations, one to enable and one to disable

#

the one to enable would start by having the alpha at 0, and enable the object at the same time, then further into the animation, it would set the alpha to 1

#

the one to disable would start by having the alpha at one, and then later in the animation would have it at 0, and then disable the object

#

technically just changing the alpha would be enough to hide it, but that would require others to have shaders enabled for you

dreamy lily
#

gotcha

loud cape
#

and you can't assume that

#

so it's best to also enable/disable the object at the start and end

dreamy lily
#

for the people that dont have your shaders enabled

#

makes sense

loud cape
#

exactly

dreamy lily
#

thanks sacred! ❤️

loud cape
#

np

dreamy lily
#

so if i were to toggle an object like a sword with a gesture like making a finger gun and it draws the sword? is it the same as sdk 2 where you just make the animation of finger gun and have the sword activated?

loud cape
#

@dreamy lily the actual gesture goes on the Gesture layer, toggling an item goes on the FX layer

#

if you grab the HandsLayer controller from the sdk, you can use that as your gesture controller

dreamy lily
#

so just make sure to have the gesture of drawing the sword on my FX layer controller

loud cape
#

and it will use all of the default finger gestures

#

so then all you need to do is create the animation to enable the sword

#

and put it on the FX layer

dreamy lily
#

just the fx layer?

#

i dont need it on the gesture layers too?

loud cape
#

no

dreamy lily
#

got it okay

#

I did it but it didnt work :/ i simply recorded enabling the sword on my hands when they make a fist but nothing

#

i put the same animation on my gesture layer and fx layer

#

just in case

#

the gesture works, and so does the expression

#

but the sword doest appear

late tartan
#

Don't put any bone animations in the fx layer

#

That's what will break things

#

You want an animation with only the enable in the fx layer that is played when GestureLeft or right is 1

#

And then of course a disabled state as default

dreamy lily
#

so dont have the fist animation?

#

just have the enabling the sword enabled

#

and not the blendshapes to make a fist

late tartan
#

Yes

#

The fist itself will be controlled by the gesture layer

dreamy lily
#

Aaaaah

#

makes sense

#

do blendshapes count as bones?

#

like i can have my avatar Mad while i draw the sword

#

obv have that on the fx layer

tough hill
#

is vroid what makes avatars shiny/anime like?

#

also common issues i should know how to fix before beginning to make an avatar? ima total noob with a poopy pc and quest 2

raw dew
acoustic lance
#

wait do people make people avatars?

#

like is it a thing?

dreamy lily
#

yeeah

#

some people go as far as playing like 2k plus to make one unique to them

acoustic lance
#

oh wow

#

yea well im trying to find a cool avatar with a katana in the avatar rooms and I cant

#

I just dont know what to search

acoustic lance
#

nvm Im on quest 😦

#

I dont got much options sadly

loud cape
#

@dreamy lily blendshapes are not bones, animating blendshapes goes on the FX layer

#

doing gesture toggles is not the same as on SDK2

#

you create an animation that only animates the blendshape/enabling of item, and put that on FX

#

the actual hand movement goes on the Gesture layer, that can be kept as default

dreamy lily
#

I see okay

#

Thanks for the explanation

#

seems there is no possible way to change the audio clip of an audio source, and I have to have one for each possible sound effect? Or does anyone know a solution for this

alright, ill be trying to make one in a poopy pc specifically for the quest 2 only.

Yes.

alright, ill dive into it tommorow, any tips for a noob?

hey guys how easy is it to create custom avatars?

agile solar
tiny ice
agile solar
#

Yes.

#

Blender is a 3D modeling program, Unity is the game engine.

tiny ice
#

which unity product do i use

#

wait unity isnt free i think

agile solar
#

It is.

#

It's only paid if you're buying a commercial license.

#

Otherwise, Unity is free for personal use.

#

The version you need is 2018.4.20f1.

# tiny ice wait unity isnt free i think

Unity is free... even if you want to make and sell games, buying it is optional. The free version just fourced the unity logo on boot. Paid version can remove it. @agile solar

agile solar
#

👀 Hi.

tiny ice
#

COOOLLLL

fluid grotto
#

It has actually done unity a disservice, because all of the poorly made games have a unity logo, and then all of the expert professional games don’t have a logo and people don’t even know it was made with unity

#

So people hear unity and only think of the games made by people who couldn’t afford to buy unity

#

They don’t think of hearthstone, ori and the blind forest, cuphead, inside, hollow knight, firewatch, etc

shut owl
#

Yeah, Unity is amazing when it comes to this stuff.

I think people focus too much on the 'clone' or 'rip-offs' or whatever 'garbage' games there are. People start somewhere.

The fact it has so many games, good and bad, should tell you that it is an engine to be reckoned with.

nocturne creek
#

Kerbal Space Program, Tarkov, Cities Skylines, Pillar of Eternity, From the Depths, Subnautica. Many fantastic games made with Unity that people don't know to give it credit for.

#

Does vrroid work well on quest 2? what functions might not work/what textures?

loud cape
#

@tough hill that completely depends on you

#

vroid will give you an a avatar that, for PC, can be used for vrchat without many modifications

#

however, making it work on for quest is more tedious

#

first off, there are no transparent shaders on quest

#

which means things like eyebrows, which are simply transparent texturee placed ontop of some polygons on the face, will cause issues

#

messing with the eyebrows also breaks the shape keys that are supposed to move the eyebrows

jade latch
#

if i accedentaly broke vrcsdk can i reinstall it and everything will be fix?

graceful nest
#

what did you break

#

can you post console errors

#

but with av3 you should be able to just import it again without deleting the old one

fluid grotto
#

If it’s SDK 3.0 you can and should also install new versions over old versions without removing the old first

I looked into VRC avatar sdk validation scripts and on the surface of it, it looks to me that you can modify DynamicBone.cs to do something (possibly nefarious) extra and VRC would allow it to be uploaded.

Ya vrchat isn't exactly the best game to be playing on the quest...

Though I'm a lil biased as a pc user

It's probably a whole different experience if the quest version is all you know

You can always commission somebody to make a Quest version for you.

shadow lark
#

I don’t see anywhere that says I can’t do this, other than the place in the rules that says that you can’t offer it, sooo, can someone make me a humanoid male avatar for quest 2 that uses avatar 3.0 in full? I would like the avatar to have like a hoodie with the hood up and some sweat pants on also, I would like the overall look and vibe to be a shy introvert who only plays vrchat 24/7, also I would like a lot of detail on it such as a imprint of the headset’s padding around the eyes and somewhat pale skin, like the avatar used to go out often but now just lives in vrchat, make the avatar around 5”6’ and also has somewhat tamed, messy, curly, red hair, the natural dark red but also a little brown, have the eyes somewhat dark green eyes, have the shoes be detailed Nike, like the newest Nike shoes in detail, have it being full body tracking, full finger tracking, and mouth tracking capable. Really just any and every feature Avatar 3.0 is capable of and has to offer. I am willing to pay around $30 for this, but I don’t know how much this is worth, so it’s extremely negotiable.

just a model by itself with all the shapekeys and rigs necessary would cost around 200€ at best and everything else would probably make it over 400€

That's the assumption of it being mostly from scratch/heavily customized at least.

shadow lark
#

Aight thanks

late tartan
# shadow lark Aight thanks

Expect very little avatar 3.0 features on that avatar. The optimization required for quest avatars REALLY limits what you can do. The hair alone will probably take up half your poly count which means less detail to the rest of the avatar

shadow lark
#

Oh-

#

what if you connect it to a pc?

late tartan
#

Then honestly I'd join a bunch of avatar servers and look through the market channels there. There's plenty of pc avatars for sale that fit that description

#

And most of them go for around $30

shadow lark
#

Um what about my question?

late tartan
#

If you plug into a pc then you're playing the pc version of the game

shadow lark
#

Ah ok

#

But that still sucks bruh why

#

Why does oculus do that

#

Why not have support for all characters-

late tartan
#

Nah it's a physical limitation of the hardware

#

You're basically running the game off a phone

shadow lark
#

I would pay a lot just for a standalone headset that is like it’s on a pc

loud cape
#

at that point you'd be strapping a laptop to your forehead

#

it's not feasable in 2020

#

the quest 2 runs a mobile chipset

late tartan
#

If you have a good enough router and pc, you can connect wirelessly to your pc with your quest

loud cape
#

it would also be extremely expensive

shadow lark
#

I’m paying the price of. Console

#

Of a console

loud cape
#

the limitations of the quest VRchat versions are not just because of hardwaree

#

but because of software

#

the quest runs a modified version of android

#

you cannot run x86 windows apps on android

late tartan

#

when you upload content to Vrchat in unity, your project is either set to building for PC, Linux and Mac, or to Android

late tartan
#

For $20 you can have wireless pc vr with your quest

loud cape
#

^ IF your pc is powerful enough

#

if you have a dell office PC, that will not cut it

#

might be wise to compare your specs to the recommended specs of the games you want to play

late tartan
#

Yes, but I've also noticed that the quest 2 strains your pc way less than any other headset I've used

loud cape
#

or just tell us your specs

ancient grove
#

Yeah I get how the quest is the price of a console, but it is playing the role of a console AND an accessory. There aren't other VR consoles really, you need a PS4 or a high end PC and then the headset on top of that

late tartan
#

I mean, the game can still be fun, but even on the best pc you'll still be happy to see 40 fps in a room full of people 😅

#

And what makes it worse is that it's not even the devs' fault; it's us avatar and world creators' that cause the game to lag so much

loud cape
#

^

#

when you tell a bunch of people who don't have proper game dev experience, and tell them to go ham and make stuff, the result is far from optimized

#

it's to be expected

late tartan
#

Yee, the one thing I will say though: devs can we please have what we have for safety settings but for performance? I know we have the avatar performance options, but that's just not enough control...

loud cape
#

what kind of performance settings

late tartan
#

The dynamic bones limit and max performance rank

#

It's in the top right of safety settings

I think they added max file size too

upper remnant
#

@merry swan #avatar-help message

with this design, were there perhaps delays with transition settings somewhere? merely using negative speed shouldn't make it slow if it's a 1 frame animation like that

#

also, you can probably use transition offset on the transition to the reversed state, to play the last keyframe only. but that should be unnecessary with such a short animation

Good point! For me I made face expressions only correspond with right hand gestures, but also I wonder if menu-based face expressions is going to be more popular.

So, World Constraints, can I use them to lock a prop on my avatar that is weighted to a bone on my armature to the world? Say my avatar has a bottle in the hand that's on a bone parented to wrist, can I use an activation of a world constraint to lock that prop (the prop's bone) into place in the world and disable it to bring it back into my hand (as in follow my IK again).

I've seen a couple avatars do something similar previously and I was wondering if it worked that way or if it was just objects added in Unity to the root of the avatar that get constrained to wrist and world and you swap between them to make it work etc.

when will avatar 3.0 menu get size adjustments

#

to make my avatar smaller or taller?

eager horizon
#

probably never

#

they said they will attempt to make it work but I doubt it will ever make it work

When choosing the visemes in blender do I use vrc.v_aa or v_aa I can’t remember

sinful junco
#

Shouldn’t really matter , click on the mesh in unity and set both to 100 ( not at the same time ) and see if they’re the same , choose the one that looks best to you and then use it in the avatar descriptor

hi guys, im new to unity and i needed to import a skin i have already dpwnloaded, how do i do it?

I’m having issues with blender not responding when I fix the avatar

primal pewter
#

does a pmx file work on unity?

past rover
primal pewter
#

Can i possibly change from pmx to fbx?

past rover
#

Yes, as I said, you import the .pmx model to blender and inside blender you're able to export it as an .fbx file.

oh thanks

Question - are Avatars 3.0 automatically compatible with both PC and quest? Or does that still depend on the avatar?

agile solar
#

Depends on the avatar.

neon finch
#

Ahh okay

#

seems like you can do a lot more and have it still be quest compatible though?

agile solar
#

Eh... not really?

#

It still has to be scrutinized, AFAIK.

neon finch
#

Ahh hmm, maybe people are just making better avatars 😅

#

Haven't been on VRChat in a while

#

last few days I've seen some quest-compatible avatars that are way better than anything I've seen before, even with PC-only avatars

agile solar
#

The XR2 might be a tad more powerful than the 845 in the Q1 but it's still gonna be limited.

neon finch
#

Ahh fair enough

#

Must just be that people are getting smarter with how they go about making them then

indigo zodiac
#

Are there any plans to have a preset maker or default preset you can set with 3.0? This would be a massive time saver rather than having to always change something when someone joins a world

#

that way too you can join a world with your custom settings

upper remnant
#

imo avatar blueprints themselves overlap with being able to set up variations like that. A lot of people spend time animating things which don't need to be changed via animation. A preset system would make people bloat up their avatars animations even more. That said, I think some sort of persistence with avatar state and parameters is a likely future feature. Would make things easier for your favorited avatars that you can't actually edit and upload on another blueprint

Anyone know the vrchat camera preview ratio

#

it doesn't seem 1x1

eager horizon
#

it isnt, it also doesnt match the thumbnails in the game

#

so what you see when you upload wont be exactly like what you see in game

graceful nest
#

check any thumbnail on the website

#

i think it was 800x600 or something

#

ingame it gets either squished or clipped in different places but with the new UI that might change

# neon finch Question - are Avatars 3.0 automatically compatible with both PC and quest? Or d...

They are never automatically compatable. You have to 1.) upload a separate android build 2.) that android build needs to meet the stricter requirements of the quest or it won’t be shown automatically

If you do both, it will be seen automatcially and on quest without needing to “show avatar” on the person. If you don’t do #1, it won’t be able to be visible on quest no matter what

anyone know how to make 3 avatars dance when you do a dance animation?

jade latch
#

i cant prefab something it gives a memory error

low whale
# hollow lagoon anyone know how to make 3 avatars dance when you do a dance animation?

The easiest way is to add animators with the dance animation to any models that are not your main one, then just animate toggling on the animators with behavior.enabled keyframes. If your main model is supposed to dance too, you can do that in the action layer with the same conditions so they activate simultaneously. Creating behavior.enabled keyframes is a little weird, you can't normally do it by default so if you don't know how, I can DM you a unity package that makes it easy.

#

Another way would be to make a couple duplicates of the animation, then use a text editor to replace all keyframe paths with paths to your duplicate models, e.g. replace all instances of "Armature" with "PathToYourModel\Armature". Then you could copy all the keyframes for the additional models into one animation (which would probably be a laggy process), or just create multiple layers that each activate the animations for one of the models based on the same conditions.

Can avatars made with Avatar 3.0 "toggle" blendshapes/shapekeys? and if so how would I learn how to do that?

@marsh trail yes, you just make an animation for that blendshape like normal, then look up toggles for avatars 3.0

Can you do avatars3 on quest with like the costume changing and everything

plush stream
#

What layer should I use for eyes and mouth gesture? I want to make a smile with blendshape eyes and mouth and while running that animation prevent blinking and talking animation.

#

I tried to use Gesture layer with mask where only Body, which contains blendshapes, is selected. But the animation does not work

merry swan
#

FX

plush stream
#

But on FX it's still trying to blink and move mouth

#

Smile animation is closing eyes, but they continue blinking

loud cape
#

@plush stream you can disable blinking by setting the "eyes and eyelids" to "Animation" using the VRC Tracking control behavior script in the animation window

#

one way to set that up would be to add that script to the state containing the gesture that closes the eyes

#

and set all of the items to No change, but have Eyes and eyelids on animation

#

but the issue with that is that you would need all of the other states to set it back to Tracking

#

so a better option is to use a different layer in your animator

#

basically just have 2 states

#

with no animations

#

but one that sets the tracking to Animation, and one that sets it to Tracking

plush stream
#

That means custom script? Or some existing component?

#

I can find VRC_AnimatorTrackingControl script but I cannot add it as a Component

#

Ah, Ok. That's Behavior

plush stream
#

@loud cape Thank you. I did it in one Layer, just intermediate state with Animation behavior before animation and Tracking after

Are persistent stage parameters for avatars going to be a thing? I’ve been holding out for them for a while before going full ham on customizable avatars

valid patrol

If people ask for it enough

Hopefully they don't do something stupid like paywall it with vrcplus

fluid grotto

It would work fine saving it to appdata. It’s very little data per blueprint

With how development for VRC is, you should expect them to not happen, and be pleasantly surprised if they do.

hey are there any worlds or commissioners who specialize in fancy robot avatars?

vivid sandal
#

Does anyone know why on 3.0 my facial gesture gets stuck

fluid grotto
#

Sounds like you A.) aren’t using write defaults B.) are controlling the face on two different layers

vivid sandal
#

write defaults?

fluid grotto
#

Yeah if you inspect an animation state there’s a checkbox for write defaults

vivid sandal
#

its enabled

fluid grotto
#

That’s usually fine - make sure it’s checked for all the face states

#

Especially any blank idle states

#

The other thing is layer priority might be screwing you over if you are controlling the same face parameters from two different layers (like left and right hand)

Yes it’s like source filmmaker except it’s for anime characters dancing

surreal sand
#

i used a mmd master chief file since i was told mmds are used for blender

#

what files would i use then?

fluid grotto
#

Sounds like someone was being silly and made a MMD model for master chief at some point because they wanted him to be a pretty anime dancer

surreal sand
#

hahahahaha

#

what other files are good then?

fluid grotto
#

The most common format for rigged character models is .fbx

#

But you’d be better off not searching for a specific file format

surreal sand
#

right so what would i search

fluid grotto
#

But yes models from MMDance will be like 99% anime becasue thats literally what it is lol

surreal sand

is there any website that has blender files then?

fluid grotto
surreal sand

#

you think that could cause older AV3 avatars not being able to be uploaded anymore?

fluid grotto
#

No.

#

Keep in mind the proper way to update SDK3 is to just import the new version overtop the old without removing the old.

#

If you remove it first all the behavior components will break

olive ledge
#

i know, but im talking about an avatar made with an older version of the VRCSDK3 not able to be uploaded with a newer version

fluid grotto
#

I don’t see any reason that would happen

#

i literally have to import the old version to be able to upload

#

Assuming the STK was updated correctly I am not sure what would be going on

#

What happens when you try to upload

#

these errors occur

#

and i just took them from someone else because i dont wanna start unity because of it

#

creating a new Prefab doesnt work either

fluid grotto
#

Not a clue. I don’t use prefabs myself so I don’t know about updating the SDK when a prefab contained SDK components

olive ledge
#

newer SDKs worked for some time, but at some point they stopped working

fluid grotto
#

Yeah I just don’t recall how long AV3 has been out

#

I do know the descriptor script changed at one point during SDK3

#

But I think that was from beta

olive ledge
#

the avatar was made very early from AV3, maybe they changed it after it was done

ill try replacing the descriptor and see if that fixes it

You can play enabled audio sources in Unity editor by hitting the volume button on the top bar with the viewport options and it’ll play.

Otherwise they will play in play mode but you need a camera object with an audio listener on it to make it so you can hear it. Enable/disable to start it again
