How can I check out which part of my avatar is eating up my frames?

#

Just upload offline versions and remove parts one by one

loud cape
#

what does the builder panel look like

surreal ridge
#

I'm convinced it's not the whole of the avatar, it's some specific part demolishing my frames

Hi folks, I'm currently preparing files for my future avatar, and I would like to make an animation on a gun for example, but right now the main avatar is missing, so I can make the animation, it's just not going to be assigned to the main one, but a single outside prefab, if i put it on the avatar, is it going to work, or will I have to make it from the beginning?

# winter herald Hi folks, I'm currently preparing files for my future avatar, and I would like t...

If you intend to use Avatar 3.0, I'm gonna lean slightly more to the answer being that you'll most likely have to redo it when you get the avatar itself. If you're animating with Blender, I think if you animate the gun, then later import the model and parent the bones to the avatar's hands, it'll fix the paths and work just fine. If you animate within Unity, you'll need to put the gun in the right place, THEN animate it.

#

That, or edit the animation paths after the fact to point to the new destination in the heirarchy.

neon finch
#

If I send someone a model can they put it on quest for me

winter herald
#

Thanks, so more or less I guess I should wait until I get it, I'm just gonna look for more info about changing the animation paths and if that's not gonna do much then I'll stop my work

pulsar lagoon
#

It's not that complicated. Unity Animation files are basically just text files with a fancy suffix. I'll show you an example of what I mean.

Let's say I animate the gun without it attatched to the avatar. The avatar's path looks something like:
Body/Slide This is assuming the body is on one bone, and parented to that bone is the gun's slide.

Well, If I then take that gun and reparent it to an avatar's path, it becomes:

Armature/Hips/Spine/Chest/RShoulder/RUpperArm/RLowerArm/RHand/Body/Slide

But the animation isn't looking for all that, it's looking for Body/Slide

#

No big deal, if we edit the Unity animation file in a text editor, we can just find anything before body and replace it to include the proper path to the object. It's a bit of effort, but it can be done if necessary.

#

Though, it usually gets easier to just save your effort for when you've gotten the paths set up correctly in the first place, or to just animate within Blender to avoid messing with all this mumbo jumbo if you know how to animate within the program.

winter herald
#

Holy heck i was absolutely not expecting anyone to put this much effort into an answer to my question, thank You, it definitely helps

#

I absolutely didn't even know that's a thing

#

to just rewrite the path

#

I usually would just, like a defeated man agree to the failure and start making the animation again

#

That really does help with things

pulsar lagoon
#

I personally despised using Blender for the longest time, so I learned a lot about animating within Unity, so I get it. It turns out most Unity files are really just Text Files with a different extension that tells Unity what it is, so you can edit them in Notepad++ or something similar and just do something like

Find:
Body/

Replace With:
Armature/Hips/Spine/Chest/RShoulder/RUpperArm/RLowerArm/RHand/Body/

And just kinda fix your animations that way. It helps when animations are more complicated than is reasonably possible to copy and paste one keyframe at a time.

neon finch
#

@pulsar lagoon can you put a model on quest if possible I don’t have a pc so I can’t

winter herald
#

Ok I've found it

#

It really is just a text file

#

and the path is very easily specified

#

thank You again

#

I'll definitely experiment with it

#

It will speed up my work a 1000 times

pulsar lagoon
#

Yeah, no problem. I did a similar thing with Avatar Masks when working with those for the gesture layer because uh, Unity doesn't seem to have a way to manually add in transforms that aren't part of the skeleton already, so I made some custom masks this way for assets imported within Unity and not blender. It helps loads.

winter herald
#

It definitely will be a huge improvement

#

Thanks for sharing the knowledge

#

I very much appreciate

#

lone cosmos
#

Hey everyone, im new to the server but i just wanted to see if you guys know how to make custom AVs

winter herald
#

@lone cosmos Definitely, it depends on what You want to do exactly

lone cosmos
#

My long term goal is to make an AV from scratch, but i know that can get complicated

#

i wanted to start off with modifying some parts from other avatars to the point where i can get a better grasp on blender and unity

winter herald
#

Welp, that's a long and difficult task, but definitely possible

#

I suggest on making an avatar/modifying it first, then after You're comfortable with it, go and mingle more in unity

#

in fact, all You need to do in unity to upload an avatar is to just set a couple of options

#

and You should be ready to go

#

it's the blender part that's more about joining meshes/parts of other avatars

lone cosmos
#

ok, thanks for the tips

#

now i at least have a place to start

winter herald
#

Are You starting from 0?

#

Like haven't really opened blender or anything?

#

If so, at the beginning I followed Blender Guru, he did a fairly good job in explaining stuff, and also he does blender for a living so... there's that

#

I could recommend him

neon finch
#

Can anyone put a model on quest for me I don’t have a pc and I’ve been trying to find this avatar but no one has it

winter herald
#

I definitely can't take anyone's work, sorry, I'm already a bit too busy with my own work

neon finch
#

Alright tell me if you ever get the chance

winter herald
#

@lone cosmos once You're more comfortable, feel free to check out a website called sketchfab, where lots of people upload their stuff, and many times with an option to download it, I used to study other people's work to get a better grip on how things should look

lone cosmos
#

I do have my goals and what i want to achieve, but i didnt know where to get the help i was looking for

winter herald
#

More or less, that's the place here, especially for vrchat related modelling

lone cosmos
#

yeah i tried youtube, but it was kinda misleading ngl

#

Ill take that recommendation into consideration tho

winter herald
#

in fact, if You want something to experiment on

#

(i googled 2b since it's on your profile pic)

#

It's free, and You can put it into blender

#

and just practice on it

neon finch
#

I have a 2b avatar if you want it

lone cosmos
#

oh ok ill give shot

#

Thanks for the help!

winter herald
#

No problem, good luck!

lone cosmos
#

Thx

#

Is there any way I can make an avatar without a pc?

agile solar
#

Mmm... generally, you'd need one.

neon finch
#

I can finally upload and crap but how do I make it to where I can

agile solar
#

?upload

dusk coralBOT
#

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.

But it's also partly a blessing, as that allows people to make Quest-specific optimizations to their avatars without effecting the PC version's quality.

whats the deal with cloth
when I want it to keep it's shape, it doesn't.
And when I don't want it to, it does.

Im taking a basic unity plane, and using it as a towel on an avatar. put cloth on it, it's all painted green, except for 1 vert painted red where it connects to the hand. and yet, when i test it, it behaves as if it still had some sort of frame on it maintaining it's squared shape. the edges don't flop or anything, it all just sort of waves like a flag with a metal bar across the top

Hi folks, let's say I made an avatar, it has textures, and materials for each part of clothing, and one material for body. And for example, I would like to change the eye color with an animation i'm making, but I can't change the color of the eyes without changing the color of the whole body (since they're both using one material), is there any ways around it, such as creating a mask like in blender and just somehow apply the settings only to the parts covering the eyes?

loud cape
#

@winter heraldI'm not sure if the Hue shift has a mask, but if it does, you could use that

#

if you are using the Poiyomi shader, I would recommend reposting your question in there

#

there is most likely a way to do it.

#

if all else fails, you can just make a new material and assign it to the eyes

winter herald
#

Unfortunately no Poiyomi and can't really make a new material - I already put lots of stuff on the avatar and changing the base would really take a lot of time now, i'm working on a small avatar from booth.pm and i'm a dumdum who thought that "i definitely would not need some changing eye colors" and now I'm paying the price for it, but I might consider going for the Poiyomi, thank You very much for the hope

if you mean giving them the unity file and them uploading it from their pc

#

if you are facing specific issues, then ask about those

#

not for someone to do it all for you for free

drowsy spire
#

im not saying it doesnt run i can make the avatars and do everything needed for them

#

but when i try to make it quest accessible it crashes and then i can never reopen it

#

so i just need someone to open the file make it quest accessible and then upload

#

thats it

Does unity crash even on a fresh project with Android build selected?

previously the hair was skinned mesh renderer but I changed it to mesh renderer and now it stays in one place

junior geyser
#

If it's going to be affected by any bones, then it needs to be a skinned mesh renderer. But if not, I don't see why this couldn't work. I've never tried it myself. All you should have to do is have the hair piece be a child of the head mesh or bone.

#

Just to have it work so you can start from somewhere, I'd try making an empty game object, parenting that to the head bone or mesh, then parenting the hair onto the empty game object.

#

Hopefully that works, if so, try doing it without the empty game object @neon finch

#

Good luck.

Heya Folks , is there like a " glossar " or how to call it ... ^^' ?

like a guidebook where you can look up stuff like ( for my part that would be " how to remove clothing from existing models in blender" ) or something like that

i tried to search for a few hours now , but cant really find anything useful so far :/

dapper terrace
#

Can someone make me a avatar for free please i'm broke. Thank you. dm me asap

loud cape
#

removing clothing on a model depends on if the clothes are a separate mesh or not

#

if it is, just click on the mesh in object mode and hit X

#

if it's merged with the main mesh, then switch to edit mode, click one vertex, hit CTRL + L to select all connected vertices, then hit X > Vertices

weight is like a float 0 <> 100 so you can slowly change something

loud cape
#

GestureRight tells you which gesture you're doing. GestureRightWeight tells you how much you're squeezing the grip/trigger

fluid grotto
#

Also GestureRight/LeftWeight ONLY has a defined value when GestureLeft/Right equals 1, aka Fist. If it equals any other hand pose, the weight values are not defined, and shouldn't be referenced.

#

Also the weight range is 0.0 to 1.0

Do I need to worry about how many animation layers I have in a single controller?

foggy portal
#

The controller for creating/previewing animations can be as much as you want, since that won't be on your avatar when you actually upload it

#

If you're talking about the FX layer, there's a hard limit I believe cuz of int/bool/float parameters

dapper hearth

What is the Grounded parameter based on? Hip position or root position?

Does anyone know of any anime type of shader that's quest compatible?

delicate needle
#

fluid grotto
#

What kills though, is entirely separate animators aside from the single one generated by the avatar descriptor.

#

Avoid that if at all possible (it should always be possible)

dapper hearth
#

I mean is it noticeably less performant?

fluid grotto
#

In the end all the controllers on the descriptor are all compiled down to a single animator.

dapper hearth
#

Oh neat

fluid grotto
#

Use as many sublayers as you want

#

you could have 100's and it's still more performant than doing it on a secondary animator component

dapper hearth
#

What about custom sitting animator components for seats?

fluid grotto
#

as long as you are putting your controllers on the avatar descriptor rather than adding new animator components, it all gets layered into one single big controller on one animator.

#

Base, Additive, Gesture, Action, FX, Sitting, T-Pose, and IK.

dapper hearth
#

But the animation controllers for seats go in the VRC Station component

any sdk3 tips on setting up with non humanoid models? i've finished modelling a 2020 gmc sierra and have ideas with adding hazard blinking lights on afk, horn, dynamic engine sounds and general realistic vehicle movements. I've been working with old sdk before vrc was on steam and very familiarized with it.

VRchat seems to be going for the "you want us to support this? here, now you can push the data yourself" mindset

I'm not sure if you are responding to me but there were at least 3 things incorrect with what you've said

foggy portal
#

It was a sarcastic take, but I'm not wrong

#

They banned SEVERAL creators of non-intrusive mods and then reversed it after the outcry

fluid grotto
#

FBT fix never required mods
You were never banned for using FBT hacks
OSC does not constitude or require modding the client

foggy portal
#

:^)

fluid grotto
#

I used FBT hacks all the time. They aren't the type of hacks you are probably thinking of.

foggy portal
#

I've never been banned, because I don't use FBT or clients

#

You seem deeply, deeply confused. :|

foggy portal
#

....

#

Did you not see the link I just posted?

#

I get you're a BIG fan of vrc but they absolutely banned several developers of mods under the radar

#

It blew up on the vrc reddit ,adn they reversed the bans and started talking to them instead

fluid grotto
#

You are talking about mods. FBT has nothing to do with mods

foggy portal

#

The main FBT config saver is something you have to dowload and use iwteh melonloader

fluid grotto
#

then we are talking about two very different things

foggy portal
#

What do you classify as a mod then?

#

Literally any external script not in the base game is a mod

fluid grotto
#

Incorrect

foggy portal
#

...

#

Ok buddy

fluid grotto
#

A mod modifies the client, or is an external client.

foggy portal
#

fluid grotto
#

External scripts that do not modify the client are not mods, and are perfectly ok.

foggy portal
#

I'm gonna let you in on a little something something

#

MOD is short for MODIFICATION

#

You are aware of that, yeah?

fluid grotto
#

Examples: Playspace mover, Kinnect4VR, or any future application that pushes OSC data to VRChat.

foggy portal
#

If you are using a script, program, client, dll, whatever that is from an outside source, that is a mod

#

OVR is absolutely a mod

fluid grotto
#

It isn't

foggy portal
#

....

#

yes it is

#

It's literally a seperate program

#

Like ???

#

Hello??

#

Are you new to PCs

fluid grotto
#

You don't seem to understand what modifying a client means.

foggy portal
#

You clearly don't understand what a mod in general is

fluid grotto
#

I'll leave someone else in this channel to explain it to you, I don't want to bother with this.

foggy portal
#

Because there's nothing to explain. Lol

#

A mod is literally short for "Modification"

#

Modifying something by outside means is literally a mod

#

OVR is a mod

#

Melonloader is a mod

#

EMM is a mod

#

Mods don't have to directly change a CLIENT

#

Anything that messes with back-end from an outside source/program is a mod

#

It's literally MODIFYING things from playspace, to GUI placement/colors, to sounds

# foggy portal OVR is a mod

OVR is a steamVR-based tool and doesn't actually touch VRChat itself- and it's recommended for FBT users even because it's useful for positioning yourself

#

that's like saying that XSOverlay/OVR Toolkit are malicious VRChat mods when they are steam tools that let you see your desktop in game

foggy portal
bold jewel
#

they're not mods anyhow

foggy portal
#

I guess "Mods" have a different meaning with younger children these days

#

Mods are literally anything that modifies something in the game from an outside source

#

Though I guess it's the same argument people have when they bring up differences between "hackers" and "scripters"

bold jewel
#

I think you should do some research into OVR. I suppose you could call it a "mod" for SteamVR, but you can get it from Steam- I'd say it's more like, DLC for SteamVR, lol

foggy portal
#

I'm aware of what it is

I use it quite frequently

bold jewel
#

It's not a mod for VRChat though

#

so it's a moot point altogether

fluid grotto
#

People like to conflate what a mod is, in order to make modifying the client seem less egregious, as it’s against the tos. If you can try to make things like OVR and Kinect4VR and XSOverlay out to be mods, then suddenly the rules seem inconsistent. But no, it’s very clear cut who broke the rules and who didn’t.

#

It was nice of VRC to overturn the bans, but they certainly didn’t need to.

#

I had said, comparing OSC pull/push to modified clients sort of displays a bit of lack of understanding of how external applications that interface with vrchat work. Using established user protocols to send and receive data vs actually changing how the vrchat client works

you have lost this argument please stop attempting to save face your making yourself look like a child with his hands over his ears going lalal lala not listening.

foggy portal
#

It's not an argument though

icy vigil
#

its a discussion

foggy portal
#

Literally look up the definition of what a "Mod" is in terms of gaming

#

Again, it's the same arguemnt of "hacker vs script kiddy"

foggy portal
icy vigil
#

this isnt worth my time, its not worth yours either

carmine chasm
# foggy portal A bit Ironic there, eh champ?

no this is absolutely an argument not a discussion. You also have multiple people telling you you are wrong and your only response is lol children don't know what a mod is. You where debunked multiple times by multiple people. time to walk away with your dignity in tact.

foggy portal
#

I haven't been debunked once though

#

Literally not a single instance

carmine chasm
#

You have been multiple times

foggy portal
#

Link me one single instance

#

Please

carmine chasm
#

Scroll up every response has proven you wrong.

foggy portal
#

Reply to one

#

Because none have

carmine chasm
#

every response has proven you wrong. Multiple times over no one is on your side here.

foggy portal
#

A "Mod" in which vrchat falls under is literally any program or script outside the base game that alters everything from data, to GUI, to sound, to experience

#

"Every response" yet you can't pinpoint a single one

#

I'm not asking for anyone to be on my side though

carmine chasm
#

Becouse i don't need to all you need to do is scroll up.

#

Your entire argument was debunked in the first three or four responses. You just keep going

foggy portal
#

Unlike you and probably every person who's "Proved me wrong", I actually have experience with modding scenes across games all the way back to Ultima Online

#

It wasn't debunked though

carmine chasm
#

FBT fix is not a mod and its not banable

foggy portal
#

Someone stated that a third party application that changes aspects of the game isn't a mod

#

When it contradicts itself by direclty modifying information in the game

carmine chasm
#

They rolled back their ruling on this.

foggy portal
#

I never said it was bannable

#

I said they banned the creator and then unbanned them

#

Learn to read little child

carmine chasm
#

"Adeon Writer — Today at 12:13 PM
FBT fix never required mods
You were never banned for using FBT hacks
OSC does not constitude or require modding the client"

#

again boomer multiple people here have debunked your entire argument. Throwing insults around does not change the fact that no one is on your side or in agreement with your views.

#

time to walk away

foggy portal
#

Oh little boy

#

The mod that saves FBT configs across avatars requires MelonLoad which is a MODLOADER

carmine chasm
#

No boomer absolutely nobody here is on your side in this.

foggy portal
#

I also stated I never got banned

#

So again, you haven't linked anyone "Debunking" me with anything

carmine chasm
#

You just need to scroll up

#

no one is in agreement with you

#

anywhere

#

period

foggy portal
#

Unlike Aiden, or your claim, I can actually post reddit threads/posts about users getting banned for using those QoL fixes

#

For the third time

#

I don't need anyone to agree with me

#

I'm not looking for approval. XD

carmine chasm
#

Full stop nobody here is on your side in this. If you don't need anyone to agree with you you can stop talking

foggy portal
#

That's the third or fourth time you've said that, little boy

#

I'm not trying to have anyone agree with me

#

Unlike you, I can post proof of people getting banned for using full body fixes and simple QoL things that aren't malicious lol

carmine chasm
#

Beocuse i have nothing more to say to you boomer. The response to you is self evident. None here agrees with you and nobody is going to be ban.

#

They reversed the ruleing that resulted in that becouse people got angry

#

that's not a problem any longer.

foggy portal
#

Yes, I'm aware. Lol

#

You need to up your reading comprehension my guy

#

Not going to school cuz of Covid really hit some of you kids hard

carmine chasm
#

My reading comprehension is fine. You keep going and going though. When nobody is in agreement with you.

foggy portal
#

Damn man, that's like the 6th? time now you've said that

#

Again, I don't need anyone to agree with me XD

carmine chasm
#

You are also attempting to throw age based insults like a fucking clown. you don't know my age and its not even relevant to this argument either way.

foggy portal
#

It doesn't change the fact that my definition of a mod (Which is backed up by simply googling the definition) is correct

foggy portal
carmine chasm
#

It doesn't change the fact that nobody cares and no one is going to get ban

foggy portal
#

And now you're referring to me as a Boomer

#

Look up "Irony" and expand your education and vocabulary, please

#

I didn't say anyone was going to get banned

carmine chasm
#

Yes becouse you are acting like one. Just screaming insults when you disagree with someone. Ignoring when people give you facts that disprove your entire ideology and point.

foggy portal
#

Again, please up your reading comprehension because it is seriously lacking

carmine chasm
#

and you keep going

foggy portal
#

"Facts"

#

Yet you haven't given me a single one

#

You keep stating I've been "Debunked" yet you can't refer to a single instance

carmine chasm
#

again insults are not going to do anything. Nobody is in agreement with you and no one is going to be ban.

foggy portal
#

You can only say "Just scroll up"

carmine chasm
#

you just need to scroll up

#

Yes you should do so

foggy portal
#

If I was debunked so clearly, you'd be able to show me a direct instance

carmine chasm
#

becouse not a single person here agrees with you

foggy portal
#

Yet for some reason, you can't

#

Lol

carmine chasm
#

not a single person here agrees with you

foggy portal
carmine chasm
#

nobody involved in the arguement is on your side

#

Its a simple concept.

foggy portal
#

Yet you keep acting like that's what I'm trying to do

#

When I've told you MULTIPLE times I'm not

#

XD

carmine chasm
#

Ill repeat it until you understand this. no one cares no ones getting ban. Your not correct

foggy portal
#

I never said anyone was going to get banned

carmine chasm
#

why are you even here then? Why not shut up?

foggy portal
#

Also for someone who "Doesn't care" you keep replying

#

Again, a bit Ironic, eh?

#

Oh wait, I Forgot, you don't know that term

carmine chasm
#

No one agrees with you. Nobody is on your side. Your points are garbage. walk away.

foggy portal
#

Here, let me help you with that

foggy portal
#

Here you go. You're clearly lacking an education.

#

Maybe you'll learn a new word today

carmine chasm
#

Walk away you're wasting your time here. again the endless string of insults is not helping your case.

foggy portal
#

Why would I walk away, when you're the one who came over into the conversation?

#

You went out of your way to join it, and you're telling me to leave because 'no one cares', yet you have to keep replying.

#

Again, click that link, you need to learn that word

carmine chasm
#

You've attempted to insult me at least 30 times in place of any kind of argument or logic. Do go off and keep attempting. Its just makeing you look like more and more of a complete piece of shit. Becouse you are incorrect and have lost the argument. So instead of going on and on just walk away.

foggy portal
#

30?

#

I said you were uneducated and that you lacked reading comprehension

#

That's literally twice

#

let's make it three, because you OBVIOUSLY don't know math either since addition is something that completely goes over your head

carmine chasm
#

dumb child little boy stupid child blah blah blah buzzword buzzword buzzword

#

every other comment

#

Got some more buzzwords asshole? Or do you have any actual facts to back up your points?

foggy portal
#

Facts? You mean like the general definition of what a "mod" is in reference to a video game, and the reddit posts about people getting banned for the mods I mentioned earlier in the past?

#

Why yes, I can post actual facts

#

You however, have yet to post a single bit of proof of me getting "debunked"

carmine chasm
#

Every single response to you has been in oppostion to everything you have said. I don't need to point out anything scroll up. You have multiple people against you.

foggy portal
#

So just because someone is in opposition means I've been "Debunked"?

#

You realize millions of people think Covid is fake, so that means scientists around the world have been "Debunked" too, eh?

#

What an absolute 5head statement

carmine chasm
#

You have been though. Nobody is getting ban for FBT fixs and such. they reversed that . It doesn't fall under the same category as mods and hacks.

foggy portal
carmine chasm
#

Ahh now you're assuming i'm a covid denier got any more assumptions and buzzwords asshole?

foggy portal
#

For the umpteenth time

#

Multiple, multiple times I've had to state this

#

I never said anyone was going to get banned for it

#

I explicitely stated they got banned in the past

#

Please, PLEASE learn to read

carmine chasm
#

I know how to read

foggy portal
#

I also didn't say anything about you denying covid

carmine chasm
#

again with the insults and attempting "covid denier" on me

#

"You realize millions of people think Covid is fake, so that means scientists around the world have been "Debunked" too, eh?"

#

These words never came out of my mouth

foggy portal
#

I equated your argument of people being in opposition to me the same as covid deniers

carmine chasm
#

that was you

foggy portal
#

I'm aware

carmine chasm
#

Its not even a fair comparison.

foggy portal
#

Except it is

carmine chasm
#

no actualy its not

foggy portal
#

I said this

foggy portal
#

And I quote "Every single response to you has been in opposition to everything you have said."

#

That's your 'proof' that I've been debunked

#

So I compared it to Covid Deniers

#

because that's how little weight your statement holds

carmine chasm
#

Covid denying is basically sub human bullshit , spread by inbreeds and extremists political circles. It's on a completely diffent scale from an arguement about vrchat

foggy portal
#

Just because somoene is in opposition does not mean they've been debunked

#

My boy

#

It literally has nothing to do with the severity of the real world issue

#

It's the ARGUMENT I'm directly comparing

carmine chasm
#

This is an argument about a videogame. Using a comparison to some real world shit of that nature is basically the lowest you can go. The argument doesn't even fall under the same radar as covid denial. Not even close.

foggy portal
#

Except that's not true at all

#

The statement you made, is that the "Proof" of me being debunked was solely because people were in opposition of me

#

So with your logic, that means covid deniers "Debunked" scientists because they're in opposition

#

That is literally YOUR LOGIC from YOUR WORDS

fluid grotto
#

You are being trolled.

foggy portal
#

Me or Bax?

fluid grotto
#

Bax.

foggy portal
#

So I'm trolling Bax?

carmine chasm
#

No that's not the logic im using and that's a ridicules statement. Don't tell me what my logic,or views are you don't know shit. Do you seriously think the argument is comparable to covid denial though. becouse thats absolutely fucking rediuless. I hope your trolling becouse otherwise you fucking smoothbrain piece of shit.

foggy portal
#

I never said those were your views

carmine chasm
#

These two arguments are not even slightly comparable to one another.

foggy portal
#

Again, reading comprehension clearly isn't your strong point. They're comparable because both statements are invalid

#

Except they are

carmine chasm
#

No they arn't

foggy portal
#

Because of the context

carmine chasm
#

not even close

foggy portal
#

Yes they are

primal turtle
#

Take it to the dms please this shit is getting annoying to watch

carmine chasm
#

The context is one is talking about a video game and you are talking about denying a virus that is killing thousends

#

carmine chasm
#

these two things are not at all comparable.

foggy portal
#

fair enough

carmine chasm
#

Yeah but you should let this guy just keep going off about an argument about a video game being comparable to covid denial though. Becouse its amazing how stupid that statement was.

foggy portal
#

#

There's no irony you're just a fucking dumb ass. full stop.

merry swan
#

2 hours+ of rambling in a channel not ment for off-topic stuff

fluid grotto
#

Keep the terminology consistent, we are talking about modifying the vrchat client.

foggy portal
#

You're more than welcome to join any gaming community outside of VRChat and ask what a Mod is. The absolute general consensus will tell you it's any third party program or script that alters the vanilla game in various ways

#

Except we weren't

#

Not once did I ever say modding the CLIENT itself

#

You can go back to the very original statement bud

#

I specifically said a mod is something that alters anything within the game from an outside source.

fluid grotto
#

All bans were due to breaking the TOS which meant modifying the client. External applications like OVR, kinect4VR, or XSOverlay are not against ToS as they do not modify the client. If you don’t understand this I’m not sure where to go from here.

foggy portal
#

I also never said they were against the ToS

#

I simply said they were mods

fluid grotto

They aren’t, not in the context of this conversation.

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

are there any good websites to download avatars for PC?

I have about 300K polys is my best option multiple meshes that i toggle or leave it as is. its only 2 real materials sense i use a lot of masking

#

how much do you think is a fair price for a character rig and a few toggles with spring joints?

agile solar
#

Couple-hundred depending on the complexity.

#

Depends on if you're the one making it or you're asking for a general quote.

loud cape
#

depends on what exactly you mean by "character rig"

tired orbit
#

i bought a model but the rig isnt adapted to unity i guess? in blender it has bones structure, but in unity, theres isnt that armarture structure. And when i try to upload it to maximo, it only gives me error messages

agile solar
#

Where'd you buy it from?

tired orbit
#

sketchfab (the author made one a pose version of its model)

agile solar
#

Get in contact with the author.

#

You might need to rig it yourself.

tired orbit
#

thats why i was asking how much someone would take to make a rig

agile solar

You can try asking in VRC Traders.

What's the issue exactly? 👀

No.

Hi folks, general fast question, I'm just straight up going for that sweet "very poor performance" status on one of my avatars, but I want to confirm something - If I disable on default all additional bones from the new clothing(and the clothing itself) I will be putting on my avatar, will it still be laggy despite being all turned off?

#

For example, if i had maybe 50 outfits and all of them would use different bones, but in the end all were completely disabled at the beginning, would it affect the performance mid-game?

#

I'm okay with the fact that it would load for a long time, I'm more interested in the performance aspect

is it possible in unity to Copy/Paste avatar's X,Y,Z position,rotation,scale transform values

or is there any free unity asset on github or unity asset store that will do that trick

any help

low whale

You can copy and paste any component's values. Right click the component name and copy component, then right click the same component on another object and paste component values. Or you can paste as a new component.

iron saddle
#

i know that it come's from unity vrchat labs
but i need to copy/paste tranfsorms from one to second (same) avatar

#

i will give you a hint

i set longer har on my first avatar
but when i work on that avatar in blender and export it
in same name FBX file to unity
my first avatar is screwed so i make another same avatar prefab
and yes i copy paste all components from first to another
but i also want to copy paste those transform values that i adjust on first avatar with armature>hair that is longer to second one

loud cape
#

@winter herald why would you have them using different bones? just have all weighed to the same ones lol

#

you can still just toggle the mesh on and off to hide it

winter herald
#

I've been thinking about this, but I don't think I'll be able to pull it off, I wanted to use like even more than 10 various outfits with skirts and dresses of random lenghts

#

If it was for the basic bones, I'd probably go for it

#

but now that I'm going for the cool wiggly dresses

#

I think they really need to operate on separate bones

#

In the end I'm still gonna do it for science and if it really lags out people then only use it in friends only lobbies to show it off and never use it again

loud cape
#

@winter herald you don't need spine, chest, hip, etc bones for every outfit

#

you can have bones that are only for certain pieces of clothing

#

but I wouldn't have entirely different sets of bones for each one

#

you can easily merge bones and their associated weights using the CATS plugin

winter herald
#

I've heard of it and I'm learning it a couple of its functions right now

#

I'm pretty sure I won't really be able to merge everything the way i would like it to, but I'll try and do as much as i can with the merging

#

Thanks for help buddy, I really appreciate it btw

It has a very simple layout, a bit like wikipedia - black text on white bg, with blue links. Does it talk to any of you ?

What are some sites that have Avatars that Vrchat allows to be downloaded?

fluid grotto
#

Most models that are available for download will supply their own rules for how the creator wishes it to be used. VRChat simply wants those wishes to be respected.

spark viper
#

What about stuff from VRC?

fluid grotto
#

Nothing from VRChat is available for download

I'm trying to find some specific Avatars but am struggling. I want to get a decent Werewolf avatar and a Demogorgon

#

from Stranger Things

fluid grotto
#

I guess I’m a little confused what you are trying for. Everything in VRChat was uploaded by a player. So everything in here “belongs” to the player who uploaded it. They may have found a free model and uploaded it, that means you could find the same source as well. But nothing can be downloaded from VRChat itself. That would be player theft

spark viper
#

I meant avatar hunting in the worlds in general

fluid grotto
#

Right. Using public avatars is barrowing someone else’s upload, or sorts. You are not meant to be able to download it.

spark viper

Oh I said download I meant to say upload

To add to above: that doesn't scale your viewpoint though, so it's not meant for avatar scaling or any sort of transformation that changes your wingspan.

Because that will behave very weird in VR, especially in FBT.

There is some system that after walk animation ends and character idles for a moment, after about a second the characters legs reposition to be on the ground, under the head.
Any way to disable that?

#

A character I'm building leans forward heavily all the time as intended, I achieve it by just forcing character out of Tpose to lean forward.
in walk animations its good, if i stop walking its good.
then one second passes and legs just move forward in this broken pose.

#

Not quite like secondlife if you mean a system like that where you can attach stuff easy, should be done in blender but some do it in unity 🐇 (please dont)

fluid grotto
#

It is due to the locomotion layer being delayed in reverting control back to Ik from the walking animation.

#

It is possible user behaviors are controlling this and the base layer could be modified, or it may be something that the system adds to the animator itself and you have no say in the matter. I will look into it

#

I do know there is a canny requesting that delay be removed

# rotund gull how hard is it to make a custom character?

depends. you can either start from a base model you can find on websites such as Booth or Gumroad, or you can make your own from scratch in a 3D modeling program like Blender. do note that making an avatar from scratch takes a lot of work, and will easily take you days or weeks. you can also use https://readyplayer.me/vrchat to create a humanoid avatar based on your likeness or customized. there is also VRoid to make anime avatars.

for base models, you can also browse this list https://gitlab.com/s-ilent/SCSS/-/wikis/Other/Avatar-Models for mainly anime avatars and a few random ones, or this one https://www.vrcarena.com/category/avatar for furry avatars

How hard? Really depends on the person. You need a good understanding of geometry and how dots and lines connect and fork shapes or intersections and how what you see might not be how it really is.. If you can do that well you’ll be fine

Modeling from scratch is easy. I recommend watching a tutorial of someone just making a sloppy boxy humanoid so you see all the steps, you can always focus on adding detail once you get the workflow down

what the heck is blender, i cant move the camera around?

fluid grotto
#

I highly recommend taking a beginners video course on blender. 3D modeling programs (blender) and Videogame engines (Unity) are not really intended to be learned by trial and error.

#

You can, but you’ll have a more enjoyable experience if you don’t

#

Trying to figure it out for yourself often just ends up with people becoming burnt out and frustrated.

rotund gull
#

so is it just make a model in blender then export and send to game?

#

or do i have to throw model into unity then export

fluid grotto
#

Blender to make the model, bones, UV’s (what part of textures goes where), and weights (what part of model follows what bone)

Then it gets put into unity to set up all the VRChat stuff, like custom animations, eye movements, mouth movements for voice, and when all that’s done, it’s uploaded using unity as well.

rotund gull
#

sounds like a pain

fluid grotto
#

I find it very enjoyable personally

#

I started blind knowing nothing about blender or unity when I joined this discord back in May 2018. It’s a steady road of getting better with practice. I recommend starting on other people’s models rather than trying to make something from nothing

Quick question, is there a way to disable finger tracking if you're using the index controllers? Say for an animation where I'd like to have a specific hand motion that the index controllers aren't capable of.

#

I haven't been able to quiet find an answer or even someone discussing it. Most likely just wasn't searching in the right places. Figured I'd give it a shot here.

surreal saddle
# grave summit Quick question, is there a way to disable finger tracking if you're using the in...

Indeed, it is. You'll need to make use of the tracking components on animations in your gesture controller. E.g. if you want to be able to perform a proper "victory" gesture when you perform that gesture with your index controller, disable finger tracking on that animation clip, then re-enable finger tracking on idle/other gestures that you don't want to use the animated pose. I've seen avatars that do this, and that's how they do it. Gimme a sec and I'll add a screenshot of an animator controller.

#

Can't paste the image for some reason, guess it's a permissions thing.

neon finch
#

my apology for the ignorance but, if im looking for a specific type of item to add to rigging like generic clothing does it have to fit a certain model or can i find a generic base and mold it to the avatar model base?

surreal saddle
#

Regardless of the method you're likely going to have to redo weight painting. You can use just about anything and fit it to just about any model, but the rigging is unlikely to match perfectly, and you'll have to adjust it yourself.

#

E.g. if you have an MMD model (as most avatars seem to be based on) and some clothes from another MMD model, you can use sculpt/edit mode to fit the clothing to the first model's body. That doesn't mean it won't clip or have other problems, though, so you'll have to adjust the rigging yourself either by manually adjusting weights, or other methods like using the data transfer modifier to transfer vertex groups from the body to the clothing. If you use the data transfer method you'll likely still have to clean up some things here and there but it's a quick, dirty cheat and can work quite well assuming the mesh you're transferring vertex weights to has adequate geometry and decent topology.

All built-in parameter is read-only. And you can't modify it.

In another logic, Velocity parameters are like speed-o-meter. If you rotate speed-o-meter higher by hand, that doesn't make your car goes faster at that speed.

With rotation constraints components you can have as many bones copy your eye rotations as you want

You could also use that component to mix the rotations of left and right to have an average between the two, since its a center eye.

Ah yeah, I didn't look at the context. Adeon figured you meant the radial/two-axis/four-axis puppets you can use in the expressions menu. If you just want something attached to the hand and the main model invisible, you can just disable the skinned mesh renderer(s) on your model (or even just delete the meshes) and attach the thing to the hand bone (or use a constraint), not much else to it. The nameplate would be visible but I don't believe attempting to hide it is technically allowed so we wouldn't be able to help with that here if you want to do that.
