alright, let me rework that then

toxic forge
#

How they're supposed to look

neon finch
#

where is the creator today? do they still exist on this game

#

that we know of at least

toxic forge
hasty hemlock
#

the creator of TDA has like zero involvement with vrchat other than their stuff getting stolen constantly

toxic forge
#

Yes

#

That

neon finch
#

oh

toxic forge
#

Lmao I feel so bad for them bruh holy shit

hasty hemlock
#

and also cheese is off a good chunk of the Japanese vrchat community vrc TDA

#

like a lot of the way the current Japanese handling avatars is done as a direct response to westerners appropriating TDA

toxic forge
#

But yeah the TDA models that were getting made in 2017 are nothing like the Satan spawns people make now

hasty hemlock
#

that's probably cuz the normal-looking Anime Avatar energy went to booth.pm and vroid

neon finch
#

default vroid energy spook me

#

fully custom vroid is good usually

#

booth is an amazin place

hasty hemlock
neon finch
#

yea some more variety

hasty hemlock
#

like it takes like 5 minutes to optimizing vroid so it's a lot easier to get those folks on the right track

#

as the combined materials button and like erasing the textures under the clothing to use the delete transparent triangles tool gets one a lot more optimized compared to like a 50 material way too many triangles TDA

harsh raven
#

okay so final question I think

#

I'm trying to make it so I have two different animations where only one can be active at once

#

So do we have to use an integer for this?

karmic totem
#

You would just use one toggle with the logic in the controller like normal, true being one animation, false being the other, set up your conditions according to how you want the toggle to work in the action menu

#

You could have 2 toggles but that is a little silly, to me

harsh raven
#

I kinda want it to be silly because I want to be able to have one for Male and one for Female so the user knows what they're looking at

#

A single toggle that just says Gender and forces the user to infer false = female, true = male, is kinda a bad UX to me

neon finch
#

You would set it up like, Entry going to some Empty State Machiene? And then from the Empty state the transitions split to the 2 animations?

#

im asking im not 100% sure

karmic totem
#

If you really want 2 toggles then you would need to use 2 parameters, then use parameter drivers

#

pretty sure that is what you would do

#

but I don't mess with this "advanced" logic, maybe Thulen could help but I'm not pinging them, since they are one of the people who I've seen do more stuff with controllers

neon finch
#

i wasnt sure where to ask this but my particles arent playing in play mode even though they have "play on awake" on and are turned on before play mode

harsh raven
#

my gif/vid capturing software has been broken so I can only use pictures ;-;

#

The specific interaction I want is this:

#

Currently, black is selected

#

But when I change color, the original color stops showing "animating" and the new one animates instead

#

Not sure if that explains it well enough... does that still require a driver?

karmic totem
#

you should try using the debug screen in game and see if it gives hints on how that is done

harsh raven
#

I've never debugged an avatar 🤔

karmic totem
#

you can find the debug thing in the action menu settings area, should just say debug

harsh raven
#

Well that confirms they're just using an int for each color

karmic totem
#

that would make sense for that many toggles

harsh raven
#

Thanks for all your help, I'm exploring a bit

#

the ints was what I wanted

#

I'm super confused now because my toggles aren't working as bools

harsh raven
#

@karmic totem thanks for all the help! Works great!

karmic totem
harsh raven
karmic totem
#

that is interesting avatar

harsh raven
#

It's for my world specifically, we use Nestorboy's avatar-based save system and you have to give it an avatar ID to fall back to when it's done saving since you can't read the player's current avatar ID with udon

#

So this is a customizable avatar for people to fallback into so they start out looking like an RPG character if it turns out they don't have anything better

I am still confused on how to get extra arms on an avatar follow the main arms.

neon finch
hazy geode
#

Hello, so I tried my newest avatar (middle) in VRC and compared to blender (right) its head looks small. That's not the case with my older avatar (left), even though it has the same body proportions and armature. Does it look small to anyone else? Could it be just because of the hairstyle not being spiky anymore? Also since its clothes are no longer form-fitting now its torso looks huge, but it doesn't have the first avatar's problem of its shoulders being twice as wide as its waist. It doesn't look that bad in blender though, could it be just bad rigging on my part?

Is it possible to make a proper sword/gun sheath/holster that acts like actual one and requires physically pulling it out?
Not sure if it's the right place to ask.

neon finch
#

I want to sneak in and ask for updates about that because it sounds really cool haha

echo tartan
#

does anybody know how i can detect audiolink worlds with av3? log-wise would be ok too

wise stirrup
#

Hmmm so what I assumed but I have 0 idea how to do it properly yet...oh well,gotta go deep into learning Unity it is then

neon finch
#

I think the head should stay the same size tbh

#

nice model btw where did u get it or did u make it

hazy geode

#

oooh okay

#

new jacket is better btw

#

is there a quick way to apply fbt floating to an avatar? I don't want to have any walking/crawling animations, just be able to float around with my full body on

#

If you want help with that, you may want to head out to their server, which is linked at the beginning of entire readme.

wise stirrup
#

Thank you very much~!

slate willow
#

is there a tutorial for making 3D avatars in blender? been trying to make human figures for a while and they always look weird and i'm unsure if I even got the topology right

#

like not even specifically avatars for vrchat but just character models in general

high spear
#

Sooo When do we get assets for this new system

merry swan
#

My guess 4~6 months

#

nowhere near ready and it need an openbeta

hasty hemlock
#

like the announcement today was mostly to ease people concerned about the lack of communication on how the updates are going

neon finch
#

on youtube

slate willow
#

Thanks

karmic totem
echo tartan
#

Or some detector

karmic totem
#

like I said, you can set it up with poiyomi and maybe one of silent's shaders

#

you can use the official audiolink package to test in Unity while setting it up, they have basic instructions

echo tartan
#

Im just using a random audiolink shader, i just want some reactions on the material tbh

karmic totem
#

as far as I know it is based on UV, in a square grid pattern, so if your UV is set up using the top parts you won't see much, which is the problem I had when I was trying to set it up on an avatar, and why I said use a second UV for audiolink glow

#

if you can, I think you can

#

there is not enough documentation on using it for avatars

low gyro
#

does anyone have a way to get the Retro sprite shader? I need this or some kind of shader that I can use for sprite based avatars

#

one that changes sprite with different perspectives

i am extremely disappointed that Unity does not support emoji

karmic totem
#

Unless they removed it, there are emoji in the quick menu, which I doubt very much they removed it

  • unity editor?
#

No emoji in expressionmenu txt boxes

karmic totem

There is probably a reason for that, if you want to have emoji, make it your icon for the menu item

#

Some of your suggestions were actually in the announce video

remote valley
#

I think the brushing one was my favorite that I saw

#

Audio feedback is really really nice

karmic totem
#

possibly, but it could also be just as annoying as any other sound effect

remote valley
#

Mmm if it's overused def
I had wanted to add footstep sounds to an avatar at one point only to realize how much my friends would hate me for it lol

#

The cherub robot avatar has this nice whirr sound when you move which is oddly not annoying

#

I do see a spam possibility though where someone could theoretically create a big radius for a trigger bone to spam an animation tho just to be a dick but we got safety settings

karmic totem
#

they will probably have limits on trigger distances, would be crazy not to, sounds will probably be covered by the current sound safety block, so that isn't that much of an issue

remote valley
#

Yeee

karmic totem
#

well now we have a slightly more firm timeline on when it will happen, I will for sure be testing it when it finally goes open beta testing mode

remote valley
#

Normally I skip the beta stuff but I'm going to be jumping on this when it comes out, I have a feeling a lot more players than usual will be interested in this one

#

The physbone stuff is crazy to me. 10-20x faster even at max capacity

karmic totem
#

we will see if it is actually that much faster when live, people will find a way to break it

remote valley
#

aint that the truth

karmic totem
#

hopefully more people do actually test and report bugs than normal, because normal open beta does not seem to get enough people

#

they just want to play new features, then a lot of people complain when it is pushed live as if there wasn't a whole month to test things

remote valley

lol reminds me of "why is vrchat so slow" (doesn't optimize avatar at all) "why is it so slow this game sucks" (1 mil poly)

Unlocking content uploading

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.

# neon finch just curious, how do you achieve character creator status with your VrChat accou...

Exact specifics on how to rank up aren't revealed, as this would allow users to easily "game" the system. Generally, it doesn't take long to reach New User which is required for Upload typically only requiring a day or two of play in VRChat however as it isn't based on time it can take much longer than that.

As a side note: Buying VRChat Plus instantly ranks you up from Visitor to New User, unlocking content uploading.

neon finch
#

ok, thank you very much, ive been playing for a while, but only my friends vr, i do suppose i need to up my vrchat hours anyways! thank you once again

karmic totem
#

Did you at any point "unpack prefab" the avatar in the scene

#

If you did, it could be that on top of breaking the connection to any changes to the model file with something like blender, it also causes issues with the rig. If this was not it, can you move to #avatar-help and ask there for help, this isn't the channel for that

#

weird question that definitely is related to avatars, but what do you guys do personally to get yourself right back into modeling or doing anything creative in general? Taking breaks definitely isn't enough for me

neon finch
#

well last night i got really inspired looking at pinterest and watching some shonozo

acoustic torrent
#

So would there be a way to have LODs? so depending on how far away someone is to me i can change the textures on my avatar? im unsure if someone made a shader for that or if this can just be something i can do with the newest SDK

#

while it sounds stupid, theres no reason for me to have my HD textures slowing down a machine when im on the other side of the map

pale coral
#

I mean, mipmapping is enabled by default (autogenerated) by Unity. Do you want to create your own custom mipmaps instead?

neon finch
#

mipmapping is lods for textures??

#

that makes sense now

pale coral
#

yep

acoustic torrent
#

i rarely try to use stuff like this since if i dont need to then i wont bother

pale coral
#

I remember reading once that there was a method of injecting your own mipmaps, but it wasn't straightforward from what I remember. I'd be at the same stage of googling on that, honestly.

acoustic torrent
#

F

pale coral
#

So yeah, it looks like you can use PVRTexTool to generate a mipmap chain and save it as a .DDS, then alter the layers in a separate image editor before exporting to Unity.

#

I should reiterate though, Unity does a fine job of calculating them for most avatars, and I wouldn't expect you to need to customize them unless you have a specific problem like jarring color bleed from a very tightly packed texture.

daring narwhal
#

how does the fallback avatars work? it says to upload to both platforms but not sure what else to do? or if it is even possible. I optimized one avatar for PC and it tells me I can use it as a fallback but the avatar is verypoor for quest. does that mean I can't use it?

hasty hemlock
#

yes the quest version of the Avatar needs to be It must have a Performance Rank of Good or Excellent per the Android/Quest requirements.

#

as the point of the fallback avatars is to be a more performant Avatar to show when you're wearing something too heavy

daring narwhal
#

can I upload optimized version for quest for android and keep the one for PC for the PC version then? I suppose so? I would upload the quest one with the same blueprint id,

hasty hemlock
#

yes

daring narwhal
#

great. thanks for clarifying.

hasty hemlock
#

would you mind showing a screenshot of what the sdk shows as your avatar stat stats so I can suggest how do to optimize the quest version

karmic totem
#

You upload the Quest version first, following the performance guidelines, then upload a PC version to the same ID that follows the PC fallback guidelines, to the same ID, making sure that when you do go to that the box for fallback is still checked.

daring narwhal
#

I don't think I can make this avatar work on quest.

#

by a chance do you know what needs to be met so it would show green for quest?

karmic totem
#

this page shows the rank requirements for PC and Quest

#

Like Rainwolf said, you need to be within Excellent or Good for both platforms, so look at those specifically

hasty hemlock
daring narwhal
hasty hemlock
#

and question do you have any toggleable objects on your avatar as if the answer is yes kill them on quests version as even when they're disabled they count towards the triangle and mesh total

daring narwhal
#

it's just one model nothing else.

hasty hemlock
#

okay then yeah give the Cat tool a try

daring narwhal
#

I'll lose blendshapes and UV mapping this way. um. do quest users use lipsync and eye/eye lid movement and such?

hasty hemlock
#

the tool maintains the blend shapes and the UV unwrap and yes they still have lipsync and eye/eye lid movement quest

neon finch
#

if u retopo it then you can properly allocate the limited geometry you are able to have for quest (20k tris)

daring narwhal
#

I'm trying to make a fallback avatar and not sure if I can decimate any more. I am currently deleting any not necessary polygons and see if I can reach number I could possibly decimate reasonably to reach the 10k limit and not destroy blendshapes, uvs and not to repaint the whole model.

#

I'm currently at 50k. not sure if I can make it. wonder if there is way to simplify the hair somewhat. like it would help me if I could delete all that you can't see. but not sure how to either select that or reasonable cut through it.

neon finch
#

the thing is if you decimated it you wont have quad topology, if it even had it in the first place

#

basically dissolving edge loops is selecting a loop, and dissolving the edges

#

hair and limbs of the body are perfect for that

#

usually

#

can u show me the geometry of the model now, and how it was when u first got it

daring narwhal
#

ok. give me a sec.

neon finch
#

and dissolving is like deleting, but it fills the gap still

#

ill show a video 1 second

daring narwhal
#

I know what that means.

#

thanks.

neon finch
#

oh ok

Does anyone know a good place to get avatars like the files for them?

narrow vector
#

I know it likely doesn't matter all that much, what with the coming improvements, but is it possible to have dynamic bones on an avatar and keep its performance at Good or better?

#

For me, having DBs at all immediately knocks an avatar from Good or Excellent down to Medium or even Poor.

#

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Unity won't have any trouble using models in A pose rather than T pose right?

#

just double checking, but PC can use transparent materials, right?

#

it's just quest that can't?

#

I don't wanna go through the trouble of trimming off all the transparent parts on the PC version if I don't have to

neon finch
tiny pollen
#

perfect

#

huh, weird that it's allowed on quest worlds but not avatars

neon finch
#

Quest Worlds are allowed to have any shaders but some just straight up break on quest

#

well because if it were avatars then everyone would be uploading with shaders that arent very performant

#

it would be worse performance impact to let people only use all shaders on worlds than avatars

tiny pollen
#

ahh, it's a performance issue

neon finch
#

yea alot of things on quest is explained by that heh

tiny pollen
#

I had thought it was a compatibility thing

neon finch
#

sometimes its that

#

just breaks on quest

tiny pollen
#

yeah, every problem with quest is either a performance issue or a compatibility issue

#

do you know if you're able to change shaders in blender, or do you have to do it in unity?

neon finch
#

so you could make blender shaders and if you want to learn how to make unity shaders i think you could manually translate the logic

tiny pollen
#

okay, considering the fact that I'm so new to blender and unity that I have no idea what any of that means, I'm going to assume that's a 'no' at my current skill level

hasty hemlock
#

basically you have to do all of your material work in unity

merry hemlock
#

Layman's explanation: When you put your avatar into Unity it will just be gray and you will need to tell Unity what to do with materials and or shaders. This means that you basically gotta do it twice once in Blender and once in Unity.

Question. Heard we were getting colliders. Is it just on avatars or is it our attachments as well? It’d be nice to have a sword not go through other swords in a fight stuff like that.

fathom turtle
#

Yeah, what’s this new whole “Avatar Dynamics” thing about? I can’t watch the video at the moment due to class but I’m very interested

#

I read an arcticle covering it but it didn’t quite make sense to me

steel iron
#

Potentially, the fingers themselves could be 8 floats as the finger bones all curl at the same rate on Index and the thumbs would potentially be an int each given the way thumbs currently function.

#

I mean, we technically already have 2 of the 8, given gestureweight floats, so potentially 6 additional floats and 2 additional ints for public access.

barren hemlock
#

Or they can just make GestureWeight also react to finger curled amounts

#

So all gestures will have ranges for the weight

steel iron
#

I mean.. Gestures don't depend on each individual finger currently.

#

The depend on a combination of multiple fingers in specific poses.

#

So weighting it that way would be impossible for a lot of the current gestures.

#

They'd have to have the public floats for each individual finger curling before weight could work that way anyway.

#

What's the best way to include two meshes into 3.0 as a toggle? I tried to do it like referring to the same parameter as 0-1 equals, but the animator only works through the first trigger, I want to turn off one mesh and turn on another one, but only one works.

#

Any advise?

#

or if the toggles are on seperate layers make sure the weight is 1

bold adder
#

Hold on

#

Copy Paste is broken

solar abyss
bold adder
#

Oh, I cannot paste images here, I see

#

So I have, Any State, going to two points, one for off and on, and then I have one each branching out from the both which tells the animator to remove another mesh

solar abyss
#

also if you want to be more ram optimized, use bools if its only ever gunna be 0-1

bold adder
#

I have never gotten bool to work for toggles of meshes

#

But I'll make new animations instead then, easier that way

no reason for it

im guessing your opposed to giving them the avatar files so they can maintain it themselves?

high spear
#

Yes

#

Distribution is a biiiiiii

neon finch
#

yea you really put yourself in a bad situation trying to fight something like this

high spear
#

Yep

#

I know I did haha

#

I learned my lesson with files after someone stole and resold assets I made

neon finch
#

try to convince your clients to not want updates

high spear
#

Hey X3, do you have an SDK3 that has support for booleans?

#

I’m in need of one pretty badly

#

It’s a very long description why but yeaaa. I wish there was a place where people post old VRC SDK builds.

neon finch
#

they suppirt booleans

#

tf

high spear
#

Nope

#

Not up till like uhhhh July I think it was

neon finch
#

Yes ive used booleans toggles many times

hasty hemlock
neon finch
#

recently

#

very very recently

high spear
#

Yea as of July

#

Sdk3 2018

#

Booleans weren’t supported for a while

neon finch
#

literally a werk ago I worked on an avatar with boolean toggles

#

in unity 2019.4.31

high spear
#

Yea you had the Sdk I need if that’s in a 2018 project

neon finch
#

what

high spear
#

It was when the parameter limit was lifted

hasty hemlock
#

and might suggest if you continue the no source files making it abundantly clear on your commission page

high spear
#

that’s when booleans we’re allowed basically

#

I think it was July or June when the limit of 16 parameters was fixed

neon finch
#

im confused on what your on about

high spear
#

I’m in need of a 2018 SDK3 that has that update I’m talking about

#

But I can’t find it anywhere

#

I need it for some conversion to 2019 stuff

#

It’s a long explanation

neon finch
#

your toggles are only preserved when you migrate from 2018 to 2019 when you use this hyperspecific vrcsdk?

merry swan
#

Nope, newer should behave just fine, source? my old 2018 avatars on newest sdk

high spear
#

In short I commished someone to make a shell of a controller for me, because I’m busy af with my job irl and then I didn’t realize the project I was in didn’t have the proper Sdk and I went and did over half of the controller until I was like “SHIT THE PARAMETERS are at 16 limit”

#

and I don’t want to spend SO much time redoing it

#

I need the sdk3 from 2018 without the parameter limit to check and see if the rest of parameters are there/could be added

neon finch
#

if you use 16 integer parameters i believe thats the max since they take like 8 memory each

high spear
neon finch
#

why the hell do they need 16 integer toggles

high spear
merry swan
#

Its the newest sdk?

high spear
high spear
merry swan
#

Did 15~ something 2 days ago, converting int to bools doesnt even take very long,

neon finch
#

im confused on why you dont use booleans then instead of trying to fit an absurd amount of integer toggles

high spear
neon finch
#

VRChat hasnt stopped supporting boolean parameters so something is fcked on your side

merry swan
#

They wouldnt persist if you use an int on several toggles , bools will and use less memory = more toggles

neon finch
#

oh wait I see

#

so in the old 2018 version you dont have the ability to make booleans

#

but if you migrate then things break but you can make booleans

#

i mean just migrate and make booleans instesd of trying to get a newer 2018 vrcsdk that supports booleans

#

youd need to recreate the logic either way

high spear
#

They added it

#

like towards the end of the 2018 unity life

neon finch
#

yea but again why get that when you have to recreate the logic into booleans anyway

#

so just migrate to 2019

high spear
neon finch
#

yeah i backtracked the next message i sent

high spear
neon finch
#

i dont imagine why they wont

#

i havent migrated many avatars but it migrated fine

high spear
#

Tbh I really just want to finish this controller in my 2018 project and then transfer

#

it’s less of a hassle

#

But my stupid ass never updated my sdk3 much at all and I have the sdk3 that doesn’t support booleans

neon finch
#

if anything its more because if they do break in the migration then you will have to remake the logic twice

#

because you remade it after getting the newer 2018 vrcsdk

#

and then remade it again in 2019

high spear
neon finch
#

id just migrate to 2019.4.31 and see what happens

#

report to us if it braks

high spear
#

I most likely won’t for my main project

#

I’m doing a separate new 2019 project already

#

I have 46 avatars in my 2018 main project

#

reaaaallly don’t want to risk it

#

Or back it up

neon finch
#

oh and you have them all in one project too

#

damn you really are in the worst case possible

high spear
#

Yep lol

#

I mean I have my project backed up on my backup storage drive

#

but still not worrrthhh it

#

I run a avatar world and like lots of assets/prefabs/etc I make get carried over like an assembly line

#

But updates n stuff kill that process for me tbh that’s why for my 2019 project I’m packing one avatar like a Trojan horse and exporting it

#

Does VRC support custom scripts?
Trying to make fade in and out effect on my avatar mesh renderer but no idea if scripts like that work

neon finch
hasty hemlock
#

you cannot use any scripting on avatars

neon finch
#

worlds use udon scripting which is limited C# basicaly

hasty hemlock
#

so you would have to see if you can make your effects in Shader code

high spear
#

You could have a shader do this though if its C#

Hello!

tiny pollen
#

fallback avatars have to be vrcPerfExcellent excellent in quest, right?

#

or is it just vrcPerfGood good?

hasty hemlock
#

"Create your fallback avatar. It must have a Performance Rank of Good or Excellent per the Android/Quest requirements."

tiny pollen
#

okay, so maximum of 10k polygons

hasty hemlock
#

yes so if you have any triangles hiding under clothing good idea to delete those

tiny pollen
#

yep ! already did all that

#

just had to run it through a quick decimation with cats in blender

hasty hemlock
#

cool

#

hopefully it comes out the other end okay

tiny pollen
#

yeah it just has kinda ugly hands, but that's okay

#

overall it looks great for a fallback

#

and that's all I'm aiming for

#

I managed to tweak the settings to preserve the face

#

and considering I'm on desktop, the face is way more important than the hands

hasty hemlock
tiny pollen
#

yeah, I just want my fallback avatar to look the same as my normal one

#

that way if

#

wait

#

my normal avatar's already gonna be good performance on quest and excellent on PC

#

so people probably won't ever see my fallback

#

unless I use a PC-only avatar, but in that case it won't by synced or anything

#

well I'm still gonna do it anyway

#

I already decimated it

#

the point is, now my PC avatar, Quest avatar, and Fallback avatar are all gonna be the same avatar

#

just with varying degrees of optimization

hasty hemlock
hasty hemlock
tiny pollen
#

in those cases, instead of coming up as generic fallback avatar #27 to my quest friends, I'll just be a slightly lower quality version of my normal avatar

hasty hemlock
#

myself have a slightly lower quality version of my fursona as my fall back

tiny pollen
#

I wish unity didn't run so slowly on my computer

#

takes a million years just to import the SDK

#

your main avatar would already be under the requirements to make it a fallback instead

#

oh wait, I meant medium on quest

#

for avatar 3d modeling is it easier to do it by sculpting or shaping the vertices? Im unsure which method to try out first its gonna be my first time. I know most of the basics of blender

fluid grotto
#

Use whatever method you find easiest, personally I like hand-made wireframes more than sculpts

#

But depending on the detail you want, sculpting can be better for photorealism. You also get normal maps for free for all your smaller details

#

Really just depends on what you intend to make

I'm having a really hard time with world constraints.. I've watched 3 tutorials now and none of them work for me. My object that gets enabled is either A. Attached to me and moves with me or B. Spawned wherever x0 y0 z0 is in the current world.
I need it to spawn where I am and not be attached to me. I've tried positions/rotation constraints and world constraints and a combination of the two....

The Parent Constraint on World Constraint/Container uses ResetTarget as a source. Disable this Parent Constraint component to leave your Container in world space, and enable it to reset the Container to ResetTarget.

You’ll need to ask the uploader for the files/buy them from said uploader if they’re the original creator

Im about to build a chest bone rotator for fullbody, is that a good idea, would it work?

ocean laurel
#

so a thing i discovered recently is that if u have the bigger menu ingame open while in prone or w/e it disables ur locomotion in the anim that u are in ( whatever anim prone ), while as if u use a complicated 329042390 locomotion setup like wetcat, it is usually bound to default anims ? atleast it was to me tho my locomotion disabling wont work at all for some reason even i set parameters and locomotion layers and what not.. so my idea / though was, is it possible to make a toggle that acts as if i keep up the big menu ingame open but without actually opening it ?. cus that to me would fix / solve all my disable locomotion issues and i wouldnt even be dependant on using a locomotion layer at all.

#

was just a though i came across recently since again disable loco wont work for me and i figured this temp solution, tho it can be bothering having half the screen being the big menu

A quick question. I want to add a prop to my avatar that has its own rig (ie. dynamic bones, but otherwise no anims). Can I import the second rig and have it parented like any other prop to my avatar, or do the bones need to be part of the original avatar's rig?

neon finch

when i say rig I mean 1 armature

#

bones can be doing whatever in that armature just make sure its in it

#

and if you want to parent the prop's root bone to an existing bone before the prop got there then you can

are materials and textures the same thing, or is there a difference?

#

is a material just a collection of textures with a shader put on it?

neon finch
#

is it possible that another person could upload an avatar for me? i have 23 hours in game (with my vrchat acc) and still cant upload it myself.

pale coral
# tiny pollen is a material just a collection of textures with a shader put on it?

Yeah a material is basically a container for the texture and shader assets, as well as any shader-specific property settings. You could have two materials with the same shader and textures applied, but if the properties are different they will be distinct from each other. People may use the terms "applying a texture/material" interchangeably, but they are not the same. You apply a texture to a material's shader, and the material to the model. A texture is just an image, and has no way to recognize mapping regions on its own - even for a flat, unlit application.

tiny pollen
#

so the material is to group all the textures, shaders, and settings for both of those together, and apply them all to an object at once

pale coral
#

Basically, yeah - well an assigned region on the object to be specific. But that's the idea.

Booth models come with armatures which should have perfect weights, but using the "automatic weights" option in blender messes up the weight painting a bit. How do I transfer the weights correctly? I don't really want to "weightpaint" using Unity anymore, but I can't figure out the correct way to copy the weight in Blender

hasty hemlock
#

quick tutorial on how to transfer weight paints

vast jetty
#

Thanks, but it says something about deleting all vertex groups on the original avatar? Or did I switch that around?

hasty hemlock
#

well you wouldn't need the old vertex groups anymore if you're transferring the new ones on like they might even have different skeleton names so having both would be a bit silly and of course make sure you save before you try any of this kind of stuff

vast jetty
#

The clothes only have some of the vertex groups, so if I delete all the ones on the avatar, more than half will disappear

hasty hemlock
#

wouldn't you be transferring the weights from the Avatar to the clothing?

vast jetty
#

Oh, right. After the transfer, how would I move the clothes from the old armature and parent them to the new armature? I will be given some options, and last time I tried all of them rotated my clothes and upped the size by about 100 times

hasty hemlock
#

the Armature modifier you just select the new Armature instead of the old one

vast jetty
#

The new clothes is still under Armature.001 (which comes together with the booth outfit) and not the main avatar armature (simply called "Armature"), and I can't change the parent without the mesh warping into a giant horizonal version of itself

hasty hemlock
#

oh dear

vast jetty
#

Clearly I'm doing something wrong, but I think it's a simple step, since parenting all the bones manually in Unity gives a perfect result (with way too many meshes and bones, however)

Unlocking content uploading

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.

Avatars from scratch require years of modelling and rigging experience. There is no video series that can explain and teach that

# grand oracle Anyone know a good world for an avatar i can use as a default

There are thousands of worlds with tens of thousands of avatars if not over 100k. This is like asking for a good place to go on a holiday, there are too many answers.

What do you like?
Have anything in particular in mind?
Is there a theme you want to go for?
Do you want it to be male, female, neither, both?
Do you want to be human or a different species?
Do you want sdk3 functionality? If so, what sort of functionality? (Wardrobe, easy colour shift, big animations)

Explore the Avatar Worlds tab in the Worlds section of the menu. You can search for game characters or movie/anime characters and usually, if it's had a model made of it, it's in a world.
Plus, #avatar-search-old might help you faster.

Fortunately unlike buying just a model, avatars are usually ready to upload immediately. No assembly required. Plus you can find some well made avatars for relatively cheap despite what some people in the community want you to believe.
But, as with anything even slightly profitable, there are individuals that will sell things they don't have the right to. Unfortunately they're out there however there are a lot of very talented people pushing content in the community so I'm sure you'll find something you like.

For the handslayer parameters, The Weights are floats while the other two are Integers right?

pale coral
#

Does anyone know what causes that strange sort of dissolving artifact on avatar meshes when viewed at an angle near the peripheral, fixed-foveated region of one's view? It's almost like a dithering of the mesh's visibility, if that makes sense.

#

Is that something that you can control/reduce as an avatar creator, or is it just a fact of life? I think I've only noticed it on the quest, so it may just be a platform-specific issue, not sure.

Hard to put into words, but it basically gives everything behind the most forward facing mesh area a sort of x-ray effect, making eyes disappear/pop-out, mouth interiors bleed through the face, etc.

Does anyone know why some avatars doesn't save toggles? I customize it and when I go to a different world or log out it always resets. It does this for 2 avatars I own.

graceful nest
#

are they your avatars?

#

because you can pick which parameters are saved and which are not

neon finch
#

No its from two different authors

graceful nest
#

only the author can pick that before uploading

#

so if it doesn't save then it's probably intended

neon finch
#

That doesnt really make any sense since theres multiple toggles to edit

graceful nest
#

yeah it does sound unlikely, but it's one possiblity

#

another one could be that for some reason it's not saving locally

#

the way it works is a text file with all parameters and their values gets saved in your cache folder and when you switch into the avatar next time it loads those

#

if for some reason that file fails to save, it'd reset as well, i'd think

Oh wow that's weird, so it the avatars itself that's the issue then

karmic totem
#

I'm not sure that parameters have always saved, so it could be they were last updated on a version of SDK3 that didn't have that option, unless someone is sure otherwise

Is there a way to switch the base mesh of an avatar with a toggle? what I want to do is use a toggle to change the character to a different version of him that's taller, and has a different build (sorry if I'm using the wrong terms for all of this, I'm still a little new to avatar creation and unity)

harsh hull
#

if the 2 variations of the avatar had the same scale it would be possible, but there’s still the issue that they’d have to share the same skeleton for the humanoid setup to work properly

#

it’s probably not worth the hassle when you can just upload the second variant separately

errant canyon
#

That makes sense, thank you!

If I have a toggle for a clothing item, does the clothing item need to have a humanoid rig? how does it work?

The Body of my Avatar is split into different meshes. When i get near a lightprobe the meshes do not react at the same time

Like: Arms and legs are a different mesh as the inner Body part. When i get near a blue lightproble the arm/leg mesh gets blue way before the inner body part does.

Any way to fix that beside of joining the meshes?

Is there a way to use radial dial to scale the size of our avatars? (and move the viewpoint appropriately?)

red path
#

To some extent, but it's kinda broken in VR and outright never will work in full body tracking.

lilac solar
#

Multiple uploads at different sizes it is then.

merry swan
#

Scaling avatars work even in fbt (have one) , but viewpoint will not change so its pointless (made an av that has a smaller version of me i can drop anywhere and scale it to any size then change viewpoint to it, its nausiating to say the least and wont really move - pointless) 🐇

it gives desktop instructions

then the Avatar is not cloneable

it shows an example in the documentation

it doesn't make a difference to the UI desktop vs VR

you could also just ask the person wearing a avatar if it's cloneable

yes

you can't clone cloneable avatars without the person with the Avatar being there

Hey anyone who knows how to make avatars for quest I give you this challenge: make a bully maguire avatar

#

hey avatar people, i'm using a quest 2 through pc air link and can only see peoples fallback avatars. I assumed since the pc is doing the running that it would show pc avatars as well

#

is that normal?

karmic totem
neon finch
#

ii have it set to be able to see poor avatars and i have the slider set for 300mb. is that just not enough?

#

i guess i can just crank it i just didnt want to crash

karmic totem
#

300 is way over what you should normally need, mine is set to 60mb just because more than that is a silly size. I keep lights and particles off for everyone to help prevent some crashing from crash avatars, you can't prevent all random lobby crashers unless you disable all avatars and only show anyone manually, but you shouldn't need to worry a general crash unless you have a terrible computer, which then Air Link wouldn't work well anyways.

#

You really shouldn't be seeing everyone as a fallback with your rank set to Poor

neon finch

that is what was confusing me... Weird that it doesnt work then

I think there is a PC version on the Oculus store, so either that, or using Steam VR and the Steam release

well that didnt work. opening in steam just brought up a vr version of the desktop game.\

just a flat screen

I can't help with that part of it as I don't have a Quest, I know it is possible to play through Steam VR

if it's not on their store it's not available

#

y’know I do find it kinda sad that quest avatars can’t have hair/clothing physics, that was one of the things I was hoping for if I ever got an avatar of my OC

hasty hemlock
#

it's helpful to remember the quest is basically a cell phone processing power wise

uncut lake
#

eh I guess

#

though it’d still be nice if that could be added later in the future, or maybe avatars that do have dynamic bones could have them toggled on/off in-game

hasty hemlock
#

Dynamic bones will never be coming to the quest but vrchat is currently working on more optimized versions called physics bones and that's in the maybe pile for the quest

ok

replying to jack

As @karmic totem said - it's most likely a prior error failing the build, and then that error happens because there was no build output.

yeah im pretty sure i found the root of the problem

Were you missing, Dynamic Bones

possibly

i havent imported dynamic bones

but heres the thing i believe to be causing the problem

Exception: CVS File with name "thry_editor_locale" could not be found.

does the error include a directory, are there other errors than that

That looks like Poiyomi not being able to find translations

Can you check if _PoiyomiShaders/Scripts/ThryEditor/thry_editor_locale.csv exists?

also, you can delete the poiyomi shaders folder and then import again from the current release of the shaders

# atomic epoch Hey how’s it going 😁Can anyone explain how character commissions work in VR cha...

Commissions aren't quite handled through VRChat usually, people do them externally through places like discord, forums, and marketplaces.
In #community-servers-old there's VRCTraders, from what I know they have a strict policy of needing proof that creators / artists can actually do the work they say they can (to avoid scams as much as possible). #community-servers-old message

There's the VRChat official forums as well where you can advertise that you do commissions (cannot request them here, people have to contact somebody who is advertising instead) https://ask.vrchat.com/c/commissions/40
