seriously dude, play the game for like 3 days and add a bunch of people, its not hard. i cant stand people who just throw money at their problems, dont be one of them
literally go up to some trusted users in the black cat or pug or something and ask for their help ranking you up by adding you, just be human and talk to them.
this is coming from a person with bad social anxiety btw
strong shell
spend a few months/years learning 3d modeling, then learn the basics of unity, then read the vrc sdk documentation, and rock on
(or use vroid or something for a semi-premade avatar and make it maybe a few days/weeks instead of learning 3d modeling)
(or buy a premade one instead of modeling it yourself)
(or just pay someone to make it for you, for a few hundred dollars)
yes
3d modeling isn't as easy as "spend a few hours and you're done"
it takes real hard work to learn
and even after learning making an avatar from scratch takes a lot of work
so it's not cheap
hasty hemlock
another option for a no effort Avatar would be https://readyplayer.me/vrchat as this one takes 5 minutes and doesn't even require Unity upload
strong shell
you can buy premade avatars in gumroad, vket, or Booth
hasty hemlock
it requires a nonzero effort into getting a MMD running in vrchat compared to a vroid/Booth
strong shell
MMD is harder to use in vrchat than other formats
hasty hemlock
here's a very nice list of free to download models that are easy to bring into vrchat that are properly licensed
like anything off this list should be considerably easier than a mmd to upload
and a heck of a lot less illegal
if you're looking for a male Avatar then a viroid would probably be your best choice as requires a lot less fiddling in blender compared to an MD

low whale
Not necessarily, if only one should play at a time. If multiple should be able to play simultaneously, then sure. Use the emulator to test. Import it, tools > enable emulator at the top of unity. Then enter play mode and dock the animator window somewhere so you can see both it and the scene window at the same time. Then select your avatar and you should have controls in the inspector for your in-game expressions menu, as well as the ability to change gesture values a little below that. Do whatever activates the effect and observe the states in the layer that controls them. See if it's going to the correct state and staying there, or if for example it's transitioning between two states in a loop.

Could also be related to this bug. If a PC user switches to a PC only avatar, Quest users can’t use Show Avatar on them.
https://vrchat.canny.io/bug-reports/p/1110-quest-shows-pc-users-as-perf-blocked-if-they-use-a-pc-only-avatar-and-then

Yes, but cloth made in an earlier version of Unity is broken and will need to be created over again
The cloth will need to be made in Unity 2019 in order to work correctly
Uploads from 2018 won’t work correctly
And cloth made in 2018 an imported into 2019 won’t work either it needs to be made over again
Just delete the cloth component and add it over again and you’ll need to redo the verts or whatever

dusky canyon
Ayo. Is there a bug happening where in VR avatar animation states do not sync and even at times overlap eachother?
Okay, so I just tested further. My avatar is perfectly fine in desktop mode, everything words accordingly. I can gurantee you I have done nothing wrong and it is infact impossible to have two animation states playing at once in a layer. Specifically what is happening is, VRChat animation states are desyncing, not finishing their animations, and playing two states together all without pattern or reason. this only happens in VR. I have tested multiple times and using the avatar in desktop mode does not bear the same result. I feel like this is a pretty big bug and i'm really suprised that it has not been immediately squashed.
harsh hull
Example? It would need to be something that could be replicated to be fixed.
I'm thinking that if it were such a widespread issue for VR users only, that more people would have brought it up by now.
gilded mason
<@80755724644261888> still totally doable with the eye tracking...
is it? how so?
dusky canyon
Example? It would need to be something that could be replicated to be fixed.
Im trying to replicate it still but im still not even sure whats really going on. Since posting this message here I've deduced that whatever is happening is unique to my upload / any uploads past this point maybe, and that it actually has nothing to do with animation states (???)
Its a rendering issue of some kind, other VR users see it and desktop users do not even when the user of the avatar is in VR. There are also points where the expression menu stops responding entirely and even desktop users see when that happens.
One thing is for sure, I did not do anything wrong with my avatar. I've combed over everything plenty of times and everything works as it should when in desktop mode and according to the debug panel in both desktop and VR. thats not even mentioning that whatever is happening isnt even possible to set up in unity lol.
pure jacinth
This might be a unity question, but is there a way to animate the audio source? I want to be able to have 1 audio source, and when I select a button, a animation simply changes what mp3 is currently in the AudioClip slot in the Audio Source property, kind of like how you can change materials in a animation. Is that possible?
strong tree
hm... I have a specific question, regarding performance:
would it be better to have 4x 2k textures, or one 4k texture
hasty hemlock
one 4k texture as that would mean it would be one material instead of four?
strong tree
yes, which would remove 3 drawcalls AFAIK.
I'm not exactly sure about memory usage, but I guess if I just "concatenate" the four textures, the memory usage should be the same, or even slightly lower with a 4k texture
hasty hemlock
it would be the same as it's the same number of pixels as 4 2k
strong tree
it would be the same as it's the same number of pixels as 4 2k
that's what I was thinking, the information is still the same, but I guess it's still less, as it would only load one shader, and stuff.
guess having high resolution textures is better than having more materials (as I thought)
hasty hemlock
yeah definitely better to have less draw calls considering the amount of things that multiply the amount of draw calls rendered like any mirror in the game
like even in the mirror having the atlas would still be less draw calls than the separate textures just standing around

I’m extremely new to this game, and I haven’t bought it yet. I’ve been researching a little and I’m interested in making a few of my own avatars. I have just one question: Just how small can an avatar be? Would it be possible to have an avatar the size of a bug? I know it’s possible to make a sort of “sock puppet” style avatar, where you move it with your hand, but I’m wondering if it’s possible to have the POV of something very small too.
loud cape
"haven't bought it yet" the game is free though?
as for the avatar size thing, I've seen a few avatars that small before, but that requires getting around the SDK's height limit

Yes, you can do it with particle collision triggers. The general idea is that a particle in the hand collides with a collider in the hat, and through various forms of black magic, that ultimately drives the value of a parameter you can use in your playable layers. Check out VRLabs' particle driver package: https://github.com/VRLabs/VRChat-Avatars-3.0#particle-driver
Actually GrabFX is probably more suitable, just remembered it exists and is intended for that exact thing https://github.com/VRLabs/VRChat-Avatars-3.0#grab-fx

You need a full copy of your avatar always present with the mesh disabled, this clone will be copying your rotations by having a rotation constraint on every bone that references the same bone on the main.

If by two avatars you mean two variants (e.g. different meshes) on the same avatar, then yes, you can do something like animating the dissolve alpha in poiyomi so one dissolves in while the other dissolves out.

If someone clones your avatar using the built in feature, or using a client that is against TOS to set your avatar as theirs and it is set to public, then you can only upload again as private. If someone breaks TOS and does all the work required to upload onto their own account, you can attempt a #moderation-reports but there isn't much else you can do

you can use the VelocityX and VelocityZ parameters

You shouldn't be uploading for other people. Basically it ties your accounts in some way that if one gets banned, it assumes the other(s) are its alts.
This is bad because it may mistake whoever got stuck in the tie for someone ban evading

Guys how many decimals can I have on a float parameter ? three ?
I am thinking about making something that is going to use as many values of one float as possible lol
low whale
I am thinking about making something that is going to use as many values of one ...
I'm not sure what the exact precision is locally, but floats are quantized over the network so they are not completely accurate for other players (basically they're converted to another format then converted back.) For that reason, you shouldn't use floats for anything that requires a completely accurate synced value.

That is a big oof.. So basically if I want to transition to different animation using 0.001, 0.002, 0.003 etc it will not be synced for other people ?

Oh well. I wanted to remake my watch to sync every minute when changing worlds using float but it does not seem like an option now
since other people would see random value on the watch lol
the hand would move to a "random" position
low whale
Why not use Ints?
low whale
So you wanted to sync hour, minute and second hands using many float values?
spare thicket
Only hour and minute
low whale
Why would you need 3 Ints?
low whale
You can use Ints in combination though, check the value of both simultaneously and you have 255*255 combinations
So you can do it with two

Basically unticking that option turns off walking/running/crawling animations when moving. There are locomotion animators that allow you toggle this behavior in-game using radial menu.
split stump
Ah, so the actual movement shown in game is a different system?
Because its more the fact that they had essentially a car like control system that I was curious about
Or at least something that mimics it
red path
Oh that is easy. You lift yourself up a bit off the ground, after that you optimally disable space moving on X and Y axis (so you can throw yourself only on front-back axis), turn gravity on and set friction to 0%.

Interesting, is there also a way to disable the avatar being permenantly locked in an upright position?

Hey i have a question to make my first avatar
does it HAVE to be a mesh
and if so is there a way to turn 2 shapes or more into a mesh
loud cape
does it HAVE to be a mesh
a mesh is just a collection of points in space (vertices) connected together to create a 3D object. it's the foundation of 3D graphics
if you're making a model from scratch, you'd do that in blender
Blender has a lot of tools to make anything you could think of
loud cape
ah, so you're asking if your model needs to be one mesh or if it can be multiple meshes?
@verbal timber
verbal timber
yes
loud cape
the only reason meshes should be kept separate is if you want to toggle them on and off with animations. otherwise, join them together.
select them both and do Ctrl + J to join them

Using files from the VRChat servers is against TOS. If you want to use any avatar you have favorited in VRChat, you will need to find the source files somewhere else, possibly on https://booth.pm/en or https://gumroad.com/
For some base avatars, especially for furry type avatars, you can search on https://www.vrcarena.com/ and get links to official sellers of bases and avatars. There are some other sites people use but it's been claimed that stolen avatars are uploaded them. If you want to know where the source files from an avatar come from, you can also try to contact the person who uploaded the avatar in VRChat

you seem to be confusing quite a few things here, namely textures, materials, and substance projects
texture: 2D grid of pixels containing color information
material: governed by a shader and controls how an object is rendered and how it interacts with light. textures can be added to a material
substance project: project file for Substance painter, which you use to texture models and export textures and PBR textures for use in other applications

For whatever reason I can't disable backface culling???

That’s not culling
It is likely the shader you are using does not have an option for disabling culling
Most default unity ones don’t. You’d have to go into the shader code and add “cull off;”
devout ridge
ummm why? it wasnt an issue in 2018...

If you want double sided on quest you have to double the triangles on areas you need it two sided
On pc switch there is no need, just switch to a shader that had an option for double-sidedness
hasty hemlock
but I would notes for performance overall just doubling those triangles would be better than a double-sided Shader as you don't have to render all those triangles you don't see ever because they're inside the body

you can put it on the butt bone directly if you want
just remember to set the root as the same bone too
if you only have a single bone, you might need to add either an end bone/end offset in the dynamic bone script

neon finch
You sure its rooted to itself and that there aren't any other settings on the script that might make it do nothing?
safe harbor
yeah....i added dynamic bone comp then root the butt_L did changed the damping and stuff but it still wont move
i just thought about it, its fine actually...i dont need to add a dynamic bone comp for each bone now, just one for breast and butt
neon finch
I guess as long as you have a way that it works
safe harbor
true...but the weird thing is it works when im adding the dynamic for the hair, i have to put on per bone...
oh....it could be something with the armature, ill check on blender.
loud cape
@safe harbor it will only work if there is a white line visible in the scene.
for dynamic bone to work, you need a bone chain
simply adding the dynamic bone to the butt will not work
that's just one bone
there is nothing for it to move
furthermore, only the head of the bone actually matters, how long a bone is doesn't matter
so, to fix your issue, either add a tiny bone at the end of the bones, or set "End length" or "End offset" to something
safe harbor

is it possible to animate dynamic bone parameters?
specifically the damping, elasticity, and stiffness params
harsh hull
Some parameters don't like being animated. You can try and some do work, but theres quite a few that refuse to change or update the physics.

interesting
in the editor it works to change values while in play mode, but not using lyuma's av3 emulator with the params changed by an animation

Was it a warning, or a red error, or did it have this symbol

It did have a red symbol, and I think it was the icon because otherwise it wouldn't have let me build it, right?
If it isn't really a hard limit of 1, then it shouldn't be a problem since it's the same amount of vertices total, right?
neon finch
if it was it was just saying that if you go over that metric set in place the avatar's performance rank will be very poor

Why is it that 90% of the werewolf avatars I find in world are small as heck?
I've not found one werewolf avatar that is tall most of them are medium or small
agile solar
Small being, like, Kon-sized?

Well not like ultra mini but just like not actual werewolf height.
I have a Fortnite Dire werewolf and he's small as heck
Then I found a Fenrir inspired avatar but its also small
Been searching for a decent werewolf avatar for sometime but the ones I find as I've said is small.
karmic totem
what exactly is werewolf height, because I was under the impression that as a mythical not real creature it is more based on the size of the non werewolf form, so could be anywhere from normal human short to extra human tall
spark viper
Well usually normal human height or slightly above average human height, like 7' maybe?
I think werewolves would be slightly taller then their human counterparts
agile solar
Isn't a werewolf just a bipedal wolf?
spark viper
Yeah but the thing I'm getting at is that the avatars I'm finding are small
And its hard to find any werewolf avatars as is
And unfortunately I'm incapable of commissioning an original avatar atm >.>

do you already have an avatar to use?
you don't make avatars in Unity
you use Unity to add components like the avatar descriptor and dynamic bones, and upload it to VRChat using the SDK
creating models is done in a 3D modeling program like Blender
limpid schooner
oh really? huh, I read something different somewhere then. do I still need the sdk3 for blender or is that only for unity and having a model downloaded into the program
loud cape
SDK3 is for Unity. that's that you use to get the model uploaded to vrchat
for blender you don't need anything in particular
limpid schooner
and i wont have any issues trying to upload my avatar to vr after i create it in blender?
loud cape
well that depends how many mistakes you make lol
making an avatar entirely from scratch is not easy
and will easily take you days or weeks
depending on how long it takes to pick up different concepts
it might sound scary but it's pretty fun once you get the hang of it
if you're just starting out, maybe starting from scratch isn't the best idea. you may instead want to start from a base model and do edits in blender
limpid schooner
i not the best at technology but im so tired of trying to find avatars that fit my personality or what i like without showing and insane amount of skin lmaoo
loud cape
yea, starting with a base might be better
limpid schooner
where can I find base models to work on until im ready to start working from scratch?
limpid schooner
right, i wanna start with free stuff until im ready to start creating my models myself
limpid schooner
have you ever created an avatar from scratch?
loud cape
I mainly create assets like clothing from scratch. but I did start on a model a while ago while on vacation
still need to finish it
limpid schooner
when working on it from scratch, do you need to know coding to actually get it to look good?
limpid schooner
ok good lol i took basic coding in highschool but that was it
loud cape
modeling*, UV unwrapping, rigging, weight painting, shape keys, texturing
*can be approached in a few ways
limpid schooner
is there a more simplistic way as a beginner and then more complex ways after understanding the basics? or is it all complex from the beginning?
loud cape
editing a base model is probably the simplest way that you can get something to look just like you want.
however, VRoid studio exists, a free japanese program used to create anime models from a template
it's mainly made for VTubers, and exports models in a .vrm format.
.vrm can't be used for vrchat, so you need to run it through blender first to convert it to a usable .fbx format
VRoid really is not that good for customizing models
it's the equivalent of a dress-up game in my eyes tbh
but that makes it the simplest
limpid schooner
im downloading blender now and i might download VRoid just to have a look to see what they offer. might try the simplistic way first to get a grasp on the basics
loud cape
VRoid won't teach you a lot about actual model creation, but I suppose it's still worth a look
limpid schooner
yeah, im gonna have to teach myself how to do everything so i might as well try coming up withe something to work on
loud cape
yeah, im gonna have to teach myself how to do everything so i might as well try ...
most people start learning blender through tutorial series like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPrnSACiTJ4&list=PLjEaoINr3zgEq0u2MzVgAaHEBt--xLB6U

oh cool! i was gonna try to watch some of those so now i wont have to search to find them! thanks!

You could technically build a real clock with av3
Have a windows app update the json of an avatar until its loaded and then have animations play at the initiation time of the avatar.
Should be possible with avatar 3.0... At least for an analog clock
Might not be precise (1-2 mins off) but its a start
(that is unless vrchat softlocks all changes of local av3 jsons, which i havent checked yet)

It shouldn't matter what shaders you use unless you are publishing to android (Quest). If the VRC SDK is giving you errors about needing to use shaders in VRChat/Mobile you are in an android build
Do this to find ALL the materials in your project, since clearly something is hiding from you https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/849031740902080512/883903819677827132/ed12e21dde2.JPG
Then select ALL the materials and change the shader to something the Quest will accept
Also note you can't use VRChat/Mobile/Lightmapped or VRChat/Mobile/Particles/"" for Quest avatars so if you set it to one of those and are confused why you are still getting the error thats why
