[echo tartan]

instead of a toggle

so you draw with two hands

yeah i think ill make that a feature of my avas

its just one bit after all

[merry hemlock]

I don't think having it in the action menu would be too bad. The problem is that you can't stop drawing until you stop the action via the menu and that could be annoying.

[echo tartan]

no its a BUTTON

you hold it down. the param is set TRUE in this time

its not a toggle 😛

ofc you need to have the menu open tho

but you do that anyway to toggle the pen on

id have 3 toggles in the menu

[merry hemlock]

Yeah could be kinda annoying/awkward.

[echo tartan]

ffs

ok ffs

[merry hemlock]

Would be nice if you could toggle the pen on, and then check if you're holding down the trigger on your controller. Similar on how you'd draw with Udon.

@echo tartan Just DM it.

yea that would be cool

[merry hemlock]

Just don't know if you can check for that sadly.

[echo tartan]

meh checking for a held thumbstick button in the actionmenu is good enough

[merry hemlock]

I guess. I'll also try to make that when I'm not being lazy lol.

[minor thorn]

Is there any way to escape characters that you know of, @bold garnet, seeing as the text input isn't sanitized. Kinda like how on discord a backslash \ can escape markdown symbols (eg \*hi\* prints *hi* and *hi* prints hi.)

[bold garnet]

I don't know of any, I haven't looked into how they set it up

Can you use different layers in an avatar? I've got a camera on my avatar and want to cull specific objects on my avatar from the camera but I'm not sure if the whole avatar is switched to PlayerLocal at runtime

[storm moth]

bro can yall help me find this avatar

[karmic totem]

avatar search is asked for in #avatar-search-old

[normal turtle]

Hey can someone help me port an avatar

I have the Model but I'm a Quest user so Unity & Blender are a no go for me

Was hoping someone here could potentially make it quest compatible & upload it for me

[ornate pike]

hey i really don't know where else to ask this on the server but well to put it simply i really want a vrchat Spiderman avatar and i honestly don't know how to create one. I've looked up tutorials and everything yet i still don't know. and so im wondering if anyone could make me a Spiderman avatar if so i will send you the reference drawing i did and i am willing to pay you if the cost for making the avatar isn't too steep. also sorry if i wasn't meant to send this message in this channel or even this discord server as i was not aware of this so if i have then apologies and it won't happen again:)

[rustic raven]

Hey, all! I have been on VR Chat for a little bit now, and I was looking into creating my own custom avatar but have no knowledge on how to do it. I've tried doing it myself but I always fail, and every time I go to fiverr I always get a failed project along with being scammed money.. So if anyone is willing to help me out in creating one, I'd kindly appreciate it!

[hollow idol]

what are you looking for in particular?

[lyric ledge]

not sure how fiverr works but, shouldn't you get refunded after the failed delivery?

[hollow idol]

if you do wanna try doing it yourself, i can send you some tutorials that make it really simple

[rustic raven]

There was this one person I thought did a decent job, and he even imported my avatar, but when I went to go check it out it looked like crap. The hair was off the avatar. body was all bent out of shape. Maybe there was just a language barrier, but he said he understood what I meant and he agreed to it being able to work.

[rustic raven]

I was just looking into having an anime kind of avatar of me

Maybe with a few different toggles and animations with me face and such.

[lyric ledge]

for starter you could get into vroid avatar. It's quite beginner friendly.

[hollow idol]

^

its called vroid studio, its free on steam

[rustic raven]

I'm pretty smooth brain, sadly. lol I'd be willing to pay

[hollow idol]

mind if i dm?

[rustic raven]

sure!

[lyric ledge]

it's free

[ornate pike]

is vroid studio just for like anime avatars??

[west nest]

You can make there something else but it's hard

it's main use is for anime characters

[hollow idol]

ye i use it as a base for my avatars

[ornate pike]

would it be possible to make a spiderman avatar??

[west nest]

I seen people make harder avatars in vroid so yes

but why tho

[dapper rock]

Just hop onto divinart and look for a spiderman model you can probably find the exact suit you want too, you can then edit it in blender to make it vrchat compatible, this can be a really easy process through the cats plugin, if you're on quest you'll have to do some optimisation like texture atlasing and what not but if you're on pc its as simple as clicking fix model, exporting as an fbx with the textures saved onto the model, there's a thing you can set when exporting to copy and then pressing a box but I have completely forgot what its called I just know in blender 2.9 atleast its on the top right somewhere in the export window, you then just throw it into unity and that part can be found on YouTube if you don't want to add animations n stuff adding it to unity and importing Into vr chat is also a pretty simple process to setup

I'm learning myself so sorry if its not very clear, you can find loads of helpful tutorials on YouTube i suggest Aggrotard he has videos on what I've explained here aswell as adding clothing to your models, adding gestures and so much more

[midnight echo]

Anyone have any tips for someone just starting where to find base models at and what not

[left arch]

Gumroad, Booth, possibly DeviantArt.

If you're looking for specific types of thing, I may be able to link you directly.

[midnight echo]

Not really specifics yet just trying to get my feet wet see what I can do

[storm moth]

tried uploading one for quest and it told me no

[neon finch]

Anyone do commissions (I’m looking for a spider-man avatar dm me for more info if your interested

[frank niche]

Does anyone have starwars which have working lightsabers?

[hollow idol]

theres tons of spiderman avatars, are you looking for something more specific?

hmmmm

[paper bronze]

Hey does anyone have a Falco’s Jaw titan from AOT?

[neon finch]

Yeh I’ve made a few it’s not that hard do exactly what seven said especially the deviant art part with blender and the rest is light

Also If ur models head is a different mesh than the rest of the body do u just put the body as a child of the head, like will the bones still work if u do that or do u need some other component or sum

anyone know about that

[hollow idol]

you have to weight it i think

parent the head to the body

because head should moves when body moves

[neon finch]

Ohhh true

[neon finch]

Hi, I'm having trouble with an object toggle, it's stuck as on when I click it, the toggle won't hide the object when I press it a second time.

Is there a way to find the problem? I followed this tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3u-G2C-KIfw

[merry swan]

im guessing you have write default off, make the default state have the object off in an animation

that is a really old video so they didnt make animation in the first off state (dont need int for it either, bool can do true/false and use less memory-you have 128 max)

[neon finch]

Oh ok, I'll change it to bool.

[merry swan]

( default state + anim that tells object to be off ) < false | bool | true > ( object is on with an animation)

[neon finch]

ok, should the bool be on in the parameter or left off?

[wheat drum]

Chairs work on quest. I have plenty of quest compatible avatars that questies can ride

[merry swan]

I use box colliders to change them into other animations with custom controllers, quest cannot use them

this also allows them to be moved around

can be normal or offset to force viewpoint off the chair into 3rd person

bog standard ones seem to work 🔨 but eh yeh thats not what i use

[merry hemlock]

Do pupils move in VRC or would it be fine if I just removed the pupils or changed the texture under them?

[humble hound]

Could anyone reccomend me a unity plugin to simplfy the creation of toggles / sliders for clothing / hue shift

[bold garnet]

Unity version is incorrect in video, use 2019.4.31
Info is otherwise correct:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTlZXDJueks

[harsh raven]

So I've been getting reports from different people that when they reset their avatars in our world, they get flung into the sky or way off to the side. Is this an issue with the avatar creators setting things up incorrectly, or is this an issue with certain settings in our world?

Because we have a custom avatar that you get put into in our world, so if it's an avatar problem we can fix half of people's issues by changing our own

[fluid grotto]

Forget about bent knees, what causes the avatars hip to be too low in general in VRchat, even on desktop?

[barren hemlock]

Typically it's due to the chest bone being too large

[merry hemlock]

Simply replacing an already working prefab seems to work fine in Unity? But I'm not 100% sure of the side effects if any.

However I found that this clears settings for VRM files oddly. Is there any way I can simply copy over all settings from one avatar to another? Is there a plugin to make it less painful?

[echo tartan]

pumpkins tool?

[weak jetty]

Does anyone know if quest users can see world drops?

[barren hemlock]

They cannot

Quest users can't even see your avatar if it's not quest compatible

[weak jetty]

Not even if it’s quest compatible?

[barren hemlock]

Quest doesn't allow the use of Constraints, which is what World Objects use

[bold garnet]

the only way they can see it would be as a particle instead

[weak jetty]

Ah I wasted so much time lol

[bold garnet]

and those are pretty limited too

I didn't test it before but, does it work if you change your avatar's size with the 3.0 menu? like can you animate your camera view or it doesn't work?

[ocean jolt]

Gumroad! A lot of vrc creators have their own servers where they promote their own assets and accessories

[agile solar]

Gumroad is a hotbed for bannable avatars, though. Just an FYI.

[ocean jolt]

How so?

[agile solar]

Ripped/kitbashed avatars.

If they have a ton of credits in them, they're usually not safe to upload.

[ocean jolt]

Kitbashed isnt bannable, and the creator community has already pushed out game rips

[agile solar]

No, as in, people will download ripped avatars and reuse them in other avatars.

And/or stolen assets.

Lot of people got banned because of it.

[ocean jolt]

That’s for people who aren’t really creators though, if you take a look around in market servers they all have set rules on now allowing that kind of thing

Like if you take a look in one market server no one allows the sale of game rips,TDA,MMD,SN, etc

You’re most likely not going to run into bannable avatars unless you go out of your way to look for them

[silver adder]

There are lots of really good original works there too though.

Idk which category of avatars you are talking about specifically, but the majority of the furry bases I've seen are original from what I've seen.

[ocean jolt]

I assume they’re talking about the humanoid aspect, like the stuff I sell on my gumroad

Either way everything I stated stands

[silver adder]

Oh, yeah. I can see that happening with standard humanoid stuff.

Meanwhile, furries are MUCH less tolerant of stolen art, so you don't see their stuff getting ripped and resold nearly as much.

[ocean jolt]

Same thing with the humanoids, a lot of the servers have a very strict rule and tolerance about it.

[wicked musk]

Can someone help? I've paid for an avatar on fiverr, unfortunately I don't have the correct rank to upload it and view it. Is there another program that will allow me to view it / use it in VR?

[ocean jolt]

Saw your dm sorry I didn’t respond yet, BUT

[silver adder]

You can use the build and test feature.

[ocean jolt]

^

[silver adder]

Only you will be able to see it in-game, but that's all you can do to test it until you reach New User rank.

[wicked musk]

Okay awsome, how do I access that? Sorry I'm a noob. I paid for someone to make the avatar

[ocean jolt]

Do you know how to upload?

[silver adder]

Build & Test is right above the upload button in the SDK.

[wicked musk]

Okay, thanks guys I'll try it out tommorow 🙏

[karmic totem]

This is incorrect unless something changed overnight, you cannot do a test if you are not at the correct rank, it follows the same rules as upload

for some dumb reason

[neon finch]

I'd like to add those things in DynamicBone to my avatar's hands so I can interact with other Bones like hair skirt etc... But I don't know its name... A little help will be pretty appreciated.

Heyo 🙂 I have a Quest version and a Windows version of my avatar. They both upload fine, but aren't linked to the same avatar.
Does anyone know what I can do to link them?

[balmy schooner]

Does anybody know if you’re able to change the parameters of another gameobjects’s animator controller through the animation on the main avatar? Maybe like if a model had a Pokémon and you wanted it to go from idle to attack using a toggle on the avatar

That was the best example I could come up with lol

[midnight echo]

noob question here what version of unity am I suppose to be using is it 2020.3.26f1?

[hollow idol]

dm me!

[balmy schooner]

Dang that’s unfortunate, thanks though

[ocean zodiac]

Man, reducing the material count to 2 in VRoid in an effort to optimize my model absolutely murders finer texture detail.

It doesn't look bad but tis sad all the same.

[balmy schooner]

You could increase the texture size from 2k to 4k but maybe crunch compress it after to make sure it doesn’t add too much to the avatar size

[fresh ruin]

Yo, does anyone have a whip and nae nae animation. Trying to search for one and can only find stuff you have to pay for.

[ocean zodiac]

Damnit I coulda swore I saved the textures as 4K when exporting it with VRoid.

Ah well, another thing to put on the to-do list.

[balmy schooner]

You have to set the texture to 4K in Unity since it auto compresses to 2K

[ocean zodiac]

Ooooooh

Where dat

[balmy schooner]

So it’s not your fault lol

Click the texture, it’ll stick out since it’s a number

[ocean zodiac]

Just click "Max Size", change it and hit apply?

[balmy schooner]

Yeah that should do it. But also check crunch compression and set it to 100. It’s a good type of compression that doesn’t have a large impact on image quality but definitely brings the size down

I believe it may just be a little more on the gpu or ram, something I’m not properly remembering but since you’re optimizing the model quite well it shouldn’t be a big deal

[ocean zodiac]

What about the compression quality setting?

Should I use the default normal quality or high quality?

[balmy schooner]

I just keep that at default.

[ocean zodiac]

Oh it doesn't seem to have a performance impact. It just adds more build time for the textures with a better quality result. Makes sense.

[balmy schooner]

Hope the texture looks better at 4k with the crunch compressing :)

[ocean zodiac]

Cheers for the tip 😉

I think the last optimization step I would need to do is for the DynamicBones but that looks like a whole can o' worms with Blender and I don't wanna get into that right now 😅

For now I'll just have two versions of the model. One with bones and one without.

[hollow idol]

screenshotting this conversation

very helpful

[karmic totem]

I want to say that Crunch Compression is only for file size, it will still take up a similar amount of space in memory. This is fine on PC, but if you are going to upload for Quest, it would be a nice idea to lower the max resolution for smaller memory size when uncompressed

Interesting, apparently it only works if you uploaded with future proof enabled which most people have off or recommend to have off as it has caused crashes. Plus there is talk of the described method not working anymore.

keep poly count down where you can, but modeling itself doesn't really have much for limits
rigging it though, take a look at the pins in #avatar-rigging

[rose storm]

anyone know some good sites where i can download some free models? i could use some retexturing practice : P

How can I do the thing were slowly pressing the trigger/fist makes gestures go slowly. Example slowly closing eyes, like how it is on sdk2.

I know it's possible on sdk3 but how

[hollow blaze]

Do y’all know how to make your avatar smaller like really tiny I have the brush avatar and I saw someone with it do that

[bold garnet]

you just need to adjust the scale
if you're animating it live to adjust though it won't move your viewpoint around right (won't matter if it's just a hand puppet brush though)

[red path]

Have an animation file that has keyframes for both eyes open and closed. In animator, for state which is supposed to play when you are doing a fist gesture turn on Motion Time. On state for left hand use GestureLeftWeight for Motion Time, on right hand GestureRightWeight parameter.

Hey, I am working on a asset that I intend to sell. But I have a question for others that sell assets, if my asset has avatar 3.0 features, whats the best way of packaging these up for sale? I want it to be as easy as possible for a customer to incorporate in to their existing model.

To my knowledge you cant copy and paste entire layers from one controller to another

[ocean jolt]

Fbx or unity file

Try to include any textures in a separate zip

[eager horizon]

thats not at all what I am asking

I am talking about s3.0 Features specifically

whats the best way to include expression parameters, menus and controllers so its easy for the customer to merge them with their existing ones

[sonic spade]

seen people making scripts for that sort of stuff, i dont know of any good ways to be able to merge them easily otherwise

[balmy stratus]

@eager horizon dont think u can merge

They can just add what they want into the layers u supply them with

Usually what i do with my booth models

[eager horizon]

okay got it

[merry swan]

you can copy from one controller to another, right click copy statemachine , paste that into another controller, then go inside that and copy it to a layer (awkward) remember to have the same parameter tho

#animation

[hardy sky]

how do i add dynamic bones

[bold garnet]

• buy dynamic bones from unity asset store
• import dynamic bones

[hardy sky]

yeah but like how do i make them work lol

[bold garnet]

or if on quest

• don't

[bold garnet]

you add the dynbone script to an object on your model, drag the bone that is the parent of the bone you want to move with it into the "root" slot

[bold garnet]

Inert affects how much it will resist movements, higher numbers move with you more instead of floating behind (at 1 something else would have to act on it, like a collider)
Stiffness is essentially how much it is allowed to move, higher is less maximum movement
Elasticity is how much it fights to return to normal state
Damping is kind of like air resistance, it reduces the variance in movement and usually ends up making it fall behind you with higher numbers

Radius is how large it considers the bones for colliders

Gravity should generally be ignored, but it is the gravity affecting the bones based on your own object, so if someone flipped you upside down, your hair would still go down your back, not towards the floor.
Force is what you want for gravity effects most of the time, use negative Y force to have it pull towards the ground

Colliders You set a DynBone Collider script on something like a hand bone, then set the "size" here to include the number of them and slot them in. Only the colliders assigned will affect this individual script.
Exclusions covers anything attached to the same object as your root that you don't want to be affected. Example: placing it on your chest (not recommended) and excluding the arms, but not the neck would move the neck, head (and anything attached), breasts, etc with dynamics

Ignore the rest of the settings below that, and any not mentioned are generally not needed.

here have a wall of info on dynbone

[vague raft]

What a great way to summarise something that no one seems to be able to explain. I know people who been making avatars for years that need this information so I’m… reposting it elsewhere.

[bold garnet]

it is a somewhat rough explanation, but it covers most of how it works at least
...I also didn't expect to type all that up, was just going to do the first 4 bits...then realized other things should be mentioned too

can anybody help me make a vr chat avatar

[tiny ice]

Hi there! The only thing bringing my avatar to poor and not medium seems to be the bone count. I was wondering do I have to reduce bones in blender using CAT decimate or can I just do it in Unity somehow?

[flint sleet]

Ontop of all this he has young kids on vrc say the n word

[silver adder]

Uh that's not appropriate for here. #moderation-reports

[flint sleet]

i dont have permission to do that in moderation reports

[silver adder]

It's not a channel you post in, it's an info channel that tells you how to report people properly.

[bold garnet]

you need to do it in blender, but it's not decimating
you'd want to either delete them if they're un-needed
or dissolve them into a parent (to save the weight painting into the parent)

Question

Im new to all this avatar editing stuff

[edgy shadow]

So I am just trying to understand if there is a way to lower the number of Material Slots needed for an avatar with accessories so that Quest is able to have them as well.

[bleak musk]

Each mesh will take up at least one material slot, there's no way around that. If possible, make each prop just a single mesh with a single material to minimize the slots you use, but if you have a lot of props then you might need to do something like build a separate fallback avatar that only has some of them, or something.

[edgy shadow]

Okay, so quest just cant support as many objects

[fluid grotto]

Cats has a feature called remove zero weight bones. It will remove any bone that is not actually doing anything for your model. They can be removed with no side effect. This should help in most cases

[tiny ice]

hey is it possible to put a prefab into blender?

[hasty hemlock]

nope because a prefab is a particular component of unity you could bring like the fbx file that makes up the Avatar Into blender

[bold garnet]

@edgy shadow You can combine your props into the same model to reduce material counts further as well.
And then use a blendshape or bone scale to turn on/off the prop instead of enabling/disabling the object itself.
As long as you make sure the animation/transition for them has no exit time and has a low or 0 transition duration, it's essentially the same, but better on performance/rating

as long as you don't need different shaders for each (which you usually won't on quest) or different settings (like reflectiveness or normal maps), you can greatly reduce the material count for things

[hasty hemlock]

personally I'd recommend the bone scaling over the blendshapes

[bold garnet]

they work the same either way, though more bones is a rating decrease at a certain point

[hasty hemlock]

There's an actual performance difference between the two methods

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/avatar-optimizing-tips#-except-when-youre-using-shapekeys

"
... except when you're using shapekeys!
There is an exception here! Calculating shape keys can be expensive, especially on avatars with more (>32,000) polygons or when running on lower-spec hardware (Quest). If all your shape keys are on your face, it can be beneficial to split your face mesh from your body mesh, and delete all shape keys from your body mesh. This can be a more advanced technique. Because you have more meshes, it may negatively affect your Avatar Performance Rank, but in reality you'll be slightly more optimized. Remember, the Perf Rank system isn't perfect-- it is just a surface-level recommendation system."

[bold garnet]

yes, I'm just saying limit wise for quest, bones cut you off, blendshapes do not
good point to bring up though for sure

[edgy shadow]

So link the accessories to bones and toggle the bones?

[bold garnet]

not toggle, scale

if they are scaled to 0 they essentially do not exist (visually)

[edgy shadow]

Mkay

[thorn copper]

can any1 help me , i can not favorit nor unfavorit my avatars

i tryd the website , nothing , i try pc version nothing, do i got to try quest or wil i have same result

[agile solar]

The only thing you can do is wait.

[thorn copper]

so its just broken atm nut it wil fix itself?

[wild tartan]

i got a 3d model from gamebananna how do i make it into a skin

[left arch]

How much do you know about computers?

This is a honest question.

[grand crypt]

Is there any good tutorials that work in 2022 on how to make a vrchat player model

All the ones that I have tried give me errors in unity

[ebon wren]

for unity or blender

[grand crypt]

Both

[hollow idol]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PEsqdkGgQLMZYzWNLdjkVewTSxUmurTY5qCDa-7iRXY/edit

what unity errors did you get

[grand crypt]

A lot

Can check when I get home

[wild tartan]

i cant code but i can deal with the horrors that are files

[left arch]

It will generally depend on a lot of factors such as filtype, rig setup, if any, and if the model is humanoid

[frank sleet]

Anyone got any guy avatars no animae shit no tails or ears. Like need something with these kinda clothes: Canada goose, cp company, off white, stone island, Gucci, north face, Vasace, Nike, Armani, Lacoste.

If anyone has any of these I’m willing to make a good deal I have a few game keys for vr games that I already have

[left arch]

You ,ay want to look at vrc traders discord, in #community-servers-old

[bold garnet]

This one works, the unity version is wrong though, make sure you're using Unity 2019.4.31f1 exactly
And the newest SDK as always
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTlZXDJueks
This only covers getting your avatar into unity and uploaded

[grand crypt]

can I dm you please

[grand crypt]

can I dm you please

[wild tartan]

unity keeps crashing how do i fix

[bold garnet]

is there a reason you can't just post it here?
Generally better to keep it in the open so others with info can offer, I'm not always around

[grand crypt]

I figured it out

[uncut horizon]

Can anyone make me a avatar

I’m on quest so

[bold garnet]

#community-servers-old look for VRC Traders
You can pay someone to make one there.

[snow vigil]

As someone who’s starting on modeling I can see that I’ll be on blender for a long while

Please I just spent the whole day trying to figure out how UV mapping works and literally just found a video on how to do it right as I’m heading to bed

I literally did set myself in this spot because i decided to start from scratch huh

Any suggestion on what I should do down the road? Maybe warnings or.. something

[median tartan]

Watch Blender donut or ice cream tutorials. Those series cover pretty much every basic knowledge you need about Blender.

[snow vigil]

Thank you! I’ll look into that

[snow vigil]

Question, is the max polygon for a model still 20k?

[west nest]

yes

[snow vigil]

Thank you!

[merry swan]

There is no limit

recommended pc <70k , <20k quest

[hasty hemlock]

yeah but on Quest you have to manually show very poor avatars

[west nest]

question was limit so arnee probably knows

[snow vigil]

Yeah I saw that 70k was being thrown around

My partner is on Quest most of the time so I already pushed my model back to 20k (I may or may not have blue screen his computer when trying to give the model to him while it had 500k… )

[hasty hemlock]

https://github.com/absolute-quantum/cats-blender-plugin/wiki/Bake

this blender plug-in can help with optimizing

[snow vigil]

?

Ooo

[hasty hemlock]

and the tool auto-generate a second version The Avatar leaving the original untouched so definitely worth giving it a try

[snow vigil]

Oooh that would be so nice. The model was a bit butchered, so it would be nice to have another version where it has more polygons

[hasty hemlock]

you can upload the full poly version as the PC Avatar and then upload the low-poly version for the quest

they don't have to be the same model PC and Quest

[snow vigil]

Thank you!! I’ll look into it when I get home, definitely excited to finish this,,,

I’ll be trying to do UV mapping again today so wish me goodluck 😭

[hasty hemlock]

hope that goes okay

[civic merlin]

@hasty hemlock random question if you don't mind. what path mode should I use when exporting with CATS?

I've used "auto" but I just wanna know which is optimal

[hasty hemlock]

not quite sure off the top of my head

[civic merlin]

oke X3

I'll try looking it up

[ripe ginkgo]

Hi I’m looking for a avatar creator that will create me a avatar for free please

[civic merlin]

I doubt someone like that exists orz

but there's a difference between creating and just preparing one for upload

[ripe ginkgo]

i want a furry coloured and with gestures

[civic merlin]

...ok ._.

don't know why you're telling me this

[ripe ginkgo]

na im just saying thats all i need

[civic merlin]

but if you can find an avatar yourself and just wanna upload it it's not very hard, at least if it doesn't have problems

[west nest]

furry avatars aren't easy to make especially if you want it on quest

[ripe ginkgo]

im on pc

[west nest]

It doesn't change much as making furry avatar could take 12 hours even simple one

[ripe ginkgo]

oh okay i jut wanted one custom to me but its okay

[civic merlin]

yeah you gotta pay for that kind of stuff or do it yourself

[civic plaza]

Does anyone know of any good tutorials for getting clothes to fit on your avatar?

[heady dagger]

I’m looking for an experienced avatar creator who can make a furry related avatar for 1,000$ (negotiable) . Info and references can be given in dms

[harsh hull]

for that kinda budget, definitely go to the VRCTraders discord in #community-servers-old or a server specializing in furry avatars

VRCTraders has better organization and verification of actual creators, including portfolios

and a furry server may have people who've done furry-specific stuff more often and are much more familiar with it

[glacial ice]

^^^^^

when you're spending that much on commission work you're prob gonna want someone that specializes in it

[spiral kayak]

anyone know if its possible to add custom emojis to an avatar? not like animated emotes but the little images you can bring up from the same menu

[hollow idol]

maybe not in the same menu but probably? the technology is there so

[glacial ice]

Chances are you prob just have to edit some flat image files

[hazy geode]

Hello, does anyone use gogo logo? Do you guys know why do poses shift around when you crouch, go prone, or move around? I'm trying to make my own pose, but the shifts are much more noticeable - legs going from bent to fully extended.

[lucid venture]

So I was doing my usually avatar making and I had to have somethings auto fix in builder which was fine but now the builder tab is empty and I'm unable to publish or test avatar's anyone ever have this problem?

[karmic totem]

You might have missed the step of setting model to Humanoid rig, so there is no animator on the model, you can check the console to confirm this

[lucid venture]

That was it haven't done this in awhile so I just forgot

[normal bone]

is there any way to make semi transparent models? i know transparancy works, but i dont think any shaders give semi transparent looks, and i wanna make a drink based series next and i need to know before the design process

[low sequoia]

Can be a list of issues, youll just have to experiment,
for example in one of my projects i have to delete a script before i can see anything on it, so i do this to upload:
open builder window > create new script > delete script > Wait > builder comes up and now i can do one upload, if i need to upload again for any reason i have to do that over again

if your console says anything that could help you alot

[hollow idol]

pc or quest?

[normal bone]

i know its not possible with quest, so i want to focus on the PC versions for now.

[low sequoia]

i suppose it depends on what you mean by partially transparent, but id imagine couldnt you use just about any transparent shader and just mess with the alpha?

[normal bone]

i want to make a series based on drinks in glasses. i want to be able to see through the skin to see the drink, but retain the facial features, i think ill darken the face and hands for "thicker glass" and the drink wont move, but i dont know how to make the body look how i want, would that be an art thing or a shader thing?

[neon finch]

I’d say it’s a shader thing

But I’m unsure of whether I can have a semi shaded texture

[normal bone]

im thinking, Vroid studio has an outline option. If i can color the outline, then make it thick, then focus on making it seem like the inside is see through, such as through messing with the alpha or asristic detailing, that could work?

[neon finch]

Yeh actually probably u could also use a glass material with a sketch shader

It should work I think unless it makes the glass non see thru

[hollow idol]

im also going to do a similar thing, but since im doing it on quest, im probably gonna do a layer around using the vrchat > mobile > particles > multiply shader

[neon finch]

Oh yeh that too @normal bone

[normal bone]

ooh, thats a great idea actually!

[hollow idol]

:3

[normal bone]

but yeah, thiose are my ideas that im working through and figuring out

[hollow idol]

well if you need a rubber duck, my dms are always open!!

i love talking about avatar creation

hyperfixation, babeyy

i hate this bot i talk in caps all the time

[normal bone]

want all caps, hoe, but i found a way to change the color of the outline (in unity)

[hollow idol]

nice!!!

[normal bone]

im gonna need alot of help with this upcoming series. Its gonna be alot of learning for me, and im honestly kinda scared my small knowlege base isnt enough for the plans. Im worried my eyes are bigger than my stomach so to speak

[neon finch]

I am looking for an avatar name shu kernui from BEYBLADE burst

I can help you

[hollow idol]

tbh thats the best way to do it though, if you have enough motivation i believe in you!!

one of my projects is a guy with 4 arms so i feel that

[normal bone]

one of my problems is i tend to not give up till i feel its perfect, and give myself unrealistic time restraints. like-- hang on

[hollow idol]

twins tbh

[normal bone]

i will say though, the locs i made? 110% worth the 6 hours it took to get the texture right, the measurements right, and the placement how i wanted

that doesnt include the rest of the model work, lol

[glass acorn]

Hey is it still possible to use avatar statues to switch avatars and stuff in 3.0? Or is it only the box displays now?

[ripe ginkgo]

Hia is anyone able to add cool/fun gestures to my abated

Avatar

If so dm me plus I can’t pay

[agile solar]

No.

[velvet hatch]

anyone here willing to invest a few minutes of their time helping me identify and fix my vrchat clothing problem

[hollow idol]

#avatar-help is better for that but what's up

[velvet hatch]

got a guy to make some cloths for my model and wanted to make the cloths move. for so reason it dosent matter wat i do in blender or unity, the cloths dont move when i add dynamic bones.

its best if i dm you to give u pics, in dept explanation, and sending u the files if ur ok/experienced in that sorta stuff

[hollow idol]

oh i cant help with dynamic bones, sorry

[velvet hatch]

dang

u know a guy who might?

[hollow idol]

i bought it solely for a commission that required it but havent touched it

[velvet hatch]

working on this prob for over a week

[hollow idol]

no, but i can link you to a creator discord

have you looked for it on youtube?

[velvet hatch]

ok

[simple isle]

Which unity version should i use to create an avatar? The Recommended 2020 LTS Release or a newer one? Does that even make a difference?

[karmic totem]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/current-unity-version

[simple isle]

Oh thank you on the Setting Up the Sdk Site only a new unity version was mentioned and i didnt know what was meant by that

[north echo]

Can anyone recommend someone who could edit and set up an av if I purchased the base files from the maker.

It would be a furry avatar for the record

[hollow idol]

edit in what way?

[north echo]

some edits to the texture

as it stands thats not entire set in stone, but what is more certain is setting up the av with dynamic bones

[jade grail]

[grand crypt]

[neon finch]

this might seem like a stupid question but please dont judge me. Is unity free? It's asking for a license or manual activation.

[primal heath]

how do you rig an avatar

[agile solar]

Unity is free, yes.

If it's asking you for a license, you're using the wrong one.

[neon finch]

ohhhh its unity hub 2.4.5. Can you direct me where to find the right one?

how to buy

tundra

[agile solar]

Download 2019.4.31f1 from that,.

[silver adder]

The free version of Unity still requires a license to use, but getting one only takes a few clicks during first-time setup.

[thorn plume]

Hello, I use Unity a bit myself. It is Free, and feauires a Free-Liscense to use. It may have drawbacks if you want to go big, until then or as Hobbyist it suffices 👍

[grand crypt]

Hello

I have a question

dose anyone know about it

[karmic totem]

yeah, and talking about it is bad, it is not for usage unless you want to risk your account being banned, stolen content

[restive oxide]

if so my user is Jackie

[ripe ginkgo]

Search the name of avatar u want in vrchat worlds and type worlds after u search the name

[agile solar]

VRoid is free anyway.

[ripe ginkgo]

Like if u want a furry avatar search furry avatar worlds in the world section in game

[ripe ginkgo]

Me?

[agile solar]

Yes.

[ripe ginkgo]

But I don’t know how to make avatars in vrc tho

[agile solar]

Watch the video.

[ripe ginkgo]

Ok

[ripe ginkgo]

I’ve already watched both of the videos from her and I couldn’t do it my pc kept crashing

[agile solar]

If your PC isn't strong enough to make avatars, then you're gonna have to either pay to have one made or find someone generous enough to make you one for free/cheap.

[ripe ginkgo]

That’s what I said here

[agile solar]

Try VRC Traders.

[ripe ginkgo]

What’s that

[agile solar]

It's a server specifically for commissions. Link is in #community-servers-old.

[ripe ginkgo]

Okay I can try there

[subtle mesa]

I have an avatar that does not have a sit animation its just the default pose i think

how do i get a different sit animation

[ripe ginkgo]

Hey bro u helped me I might have someone who is willing to do it thanks so much

[mystic blade]

You need to get the locomotion fix, you can find it on gum road and it’s free. There are blend trees in it where you can choose your own crouch and prone animation.

After you set the animations, just set the locomotion on the avatar to “Locomotionfixv5” and there you go!

[subtle mesa]

is this something i can do in just unity?

[harsh hull]

you can duplicate the default sdk locomotion layer and then alter the prone idle animation included

[subtle mesa]

I figured it out, Thanks though! :3

Looked up a video

[fringe jay]

Hello everyone

[glacial ice]

Yello o:

[delicate turtle]

How do most people get their avatars?

[west nest]

They either buy it or make it

[delicate turtle]

I think it would be cool to have my own avatar but I don't have any artistic skills

[agile solar]

You can buy them too.

[delicate turtle]

oooh alright, anyone here ahve any suggestions for something on a relative "budget"

?

[agile solar]

https://booth.pm/ is a good place to buy avatars.

(It's listed in JPY so do conversions before purchasing)

You can also go the free route with ReadyPlayerMe or VRoid Studio.

[delicate turtle]

yee I already have a readyplayerme avatar but I would rather have something less like, I guess "realistic" if that makes sense? I haven't heard about VRoid Studio though

[agile solar]

VRoid Studio is Booth's avatar-making program. Very anime-like.

[delicate turtle]

oooh ye that's what I am mostly looking for! The anime-like characters. I'll look into it!

[worthy oxide]

I'm guessing you need a pc for VRoid?

[neon finch]

anyone know if I get this assest from the unity store called footstep water splashes from river mill studios will it work with a vr avtar ike if i stomp in full body will water splash from the ground

please @ me if u know

[shut owl]

Is the current version of VRChat in 2019.4.30f1?

This is relevant for my personal models.

[west nest]

31f1 not 30f1

[shut owl]

Ah okay

[simple tide]

damn its amazing what you can learn by reading official docs

i didnt know you could actually move the camera to your viewpoint in an animation

dope

[eager swift]

okay, can someone seriously explain to me if the gesture layer is supposed do gameobject manipulation (like, setting the object to active, modifying blendshapes etc) or not? across several vrchat updates, it seems like the devs either can't make up their minds or make it work sometimes and make it break other times, but in the current version of vrchat, 2021.4.2p2, gestures can toggle gameobjects. is this intended or is it going to get broken in another update? it's a lot more efficient for me to handle these from the gestures menu, but since the entire documentation tells me that i shouldn't be doing this from here, i'm completely baffled as to why i'm able to do this, and it work well, but it being discouraged

im not sure if this belongs in general or the help channel, so im just gonna ask here

[novel chasm]

Sorry this is kind of a dumb question but is there a way to stop a object from moving when the player does

And still be able to animate it?

Because as far as I know you can only stop movement with the particle system and I don't think you can animate a mesh spawned in like that

[upbeat basin]

Anyone familiar with VRCLens or other lenses?

If I apply a camera on my avatar, does my friends see my camera or is it blank and only local?

[harsh hull]

world constraint prolly

unless you mean like, the object freezes when you walk and moves to you when you are still

tinkering with the logic of vrclabs follower prefab can do that

but if you mean just sticking a prop in the world and having it sit still, usr vrclabs world constraint prefab

[next valley]

can someone make me a custom avatar please if so dm me 🙂

Do dynamic bones still calculate movement when the end offset is set to 0? Mostly asking in cases where I use an end bone instead of the end offset feature, is the 0 offset bone at the end still calculating it's own dynamic bone?

[full dawn]

Ayo

I’ll do it

[vague raft]

If it doesn't have an endpoint to calculate movement then it won't rotate thus the Offset and the End bone are doing the same thing by adding a transform to give the bone and end.

[terse thicket]

So it won't hurt performance? good to hear

Yeeeeah, but that site is more informative.

[agile solar]

#avatar-search-old

[vague raft]

Unity needs to determine which layer should take control on the property being animated as it can’t have 2 separate layers animating the same thing at the same time. It does this by running the controller from top to bottom making whichever layer is lower take control of the property.
With this in mind, don’t animate this thing on 2 different layers but rather give it it’s own layer with it’s own on and off animations and switch between the 2 using multiple transitions and conditions covering all possibilities.

[neon finch]

alrighty! ill keep this in mind!

Sounds like your avatar is malfunctioning. You sure you got the right transition conditions set up for those toggles?

[rugged spade]

Iv been animating the same way since iv started using 3.0.

The only thing right

Only recently since re-doing my avatars, toggle have been wack.

[vague raft]

What about the animations, both your keyframes the same?

[rugged spade]

Both keyframes are the same, 0-1 keyframes.

Don't know if vrc changed something or if theres something else causing issues

[vague raft]

What does the debug say? is the layer flickering between states?

[rugged spade]

Eeee. Haven't checked just yet.

Mainly been trying to figure out whats the issue in unity.

[vague raft]

take a peek, see what the layers are doing when you're toggling. It'll help narrow it down and then going through unity will be easier

[tranquil ether]

So how do o add a password system in the animator to prevent reupploaders

[gritty epoch]

is it possible to have an avatar use MIDI inputs to trigger stuff on the avatar? I know it's possible with SDK3 worlds

[harsh hull]

Eventually with OSC:
https://youtu.be/QBQnCxtDaso?t=7274

[gritty epoch]

but is that world specific? OSC would be great if it was tied to the avatar itself with MIDI

[harsh hull]

Watch the video. Their example uses parameters to drive face tracking.

[gritty epoch]

I did, and it seemed like it might work

It'll also be a good baseline implementation to have HMDs that support eye/mouth/face tracking use

[obsidian crest]

for some reason avatar help wont load for me would it be ok if i ask a question here?

oh wait it just decided to load

[harsh hull]

if it also works on quest, there’s a small possibility of quest fbt

pretty exciting

[abstract ravine]

Little heads up

The Deira base from Mari on Gumroad has a script (Called 'AUP') shipped with it that disables components of the SDK

Simply delete it and restart Unity

[neon kestrel]

Confused bug sounds

[harsh hull]

lies- bugs don’t exist

[neon kestrel]

😱

[primal heath]

how do i add jaw bones to my avatar

[tender jay]

Now, when I override the FX layer, visemes stop working. So if I need to add visemes to the custom FX layer, where is that setup? The default FX/action layer only has emotes

[unique quiver]

bro why does it take 30 minutes to import an avatar into unity

i have a 5900x and a 980 pro

[west nest]

might be that it has low priority

unity itself

[unique quiver]

?

what is priority

[west nest]

when windows decides how much resources it give to program

[viscid vector]

Idk if this is the right channel to ask, but my view position is stuck like 5cm down from what it normally should be, and also inside my head. But on EVERY avatar i try to use.

[unique quiver]

i mean it's been using up to 60% of my CPU according to task manager

[west nest]

what cpu you have

ah i see

nvm

but it takes sdk itself 30 minutes or everything?

[unique quiver]

it takes the file i downloaded from gumroad 30+ minutes

which iirc includes the sdk and dynamic bone

[west nest]

stuck on every avatar? even public ones from devs

[viscid vector]

Exactly.

[west nest]

in desktop mode?

[viscid vector]

VR mode

I'm on quest

[west nest]

quest you say.. you tried reinstalling game?

[viscid vector]

I litearlly just tried

And it didn't work

[west nest]

hmm so it means something within quest settings could be bad

but i don't own quest can't tell what it could be if you don't want wait for answer factory reset quest

[viscid vector]

Eh. well that sucks

I'll try reinstalling again

[west nest]

@unique quiver what about your ram

you have xmp enabled?

[unique quiver]

no, i overclocked it

[west nest]

Sometimes overclock can make stuff load slowly bcs it has many errors which must be corrected

but if you know what are you doing than no clue

[unique quiver]

i ran tm5 for like 10 hours with aida extreme, with no errors

[viscid vector]

It has not worked again

[west nest]

you might want to try disabling compression on import in unity

but you need to troubleshoot it yourself google should have some tips

[viscid vector]

Oh, also something that i didn't mention

When my face gets closer to body parts they disappear instead of clipping through me

[west nest]

You need to disable personal space in vrchat settings

[viscid vector]

It is disabled

What i meant is, the whole avatar doesn't disappear

Just body parts one by one

and it's also MY body parts

Like i'll literally go inside someone's face and see their teeth and then they'll start to disappear once i get closer

one by one

Alright, turns out it only happens on certain worlds for some reason

[west nest]

if worlds have problems ask if other quest user have the problem either

[unique quiver]

how can i see the actual height of the avatar in unity?

i can see the scale, but i have no clue how that relates to real world height

[hasty hemlock]

if it's helpful a Unity cube is 1 meter tall

[unique quiver]

thanks lol, i just stacked 2 cubes on top of each other and scaled the top one until the height was the same

[hasty hemlock]

cool

[fluid grotto]

Really want a bool for PC/quest so I can stop making separate controllers for the quest version

[neon finch]

does anyone know how to get drunk Mickey Mouse

[karmic geode]

I've seen some avatars with tail wag toggles that have radial dials to control the wag speed, anyone know how to do that?

[bleak musk]

Yeah actually Sippbox has a great vid on exactly this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNUNOrHmOrQ

They have a bunch of videos on menus and animator parameters that were super helpful when I was figuring out how to do that

This example isn't wag speed exactly, but it's a 2D radial menu that lets you control the tail position, so you could wag by wiggling the joystick back and forth

But the basic concepts are the same if you want a radial dial to control a blendtree for a wagging animation

[unique quiver]

bro how do i change the brush color in substance 3d painter

[unique quiver]

i finally figured it out, it is way too complicated

just use photoshop tbh

[acoustic torrent]

so will there ever be dynamic bones for Q2? someone said they were working on it but i got very little info

[vague raft]

This is the clipping distance. You’ll notice this in unity with the scene camera too; zoom in close to a mesh and you’ll clip through it_assuming your focus point is behind the mesh_.
As in this case it’s a world setting there’s nothing you can really do about it except push your viewpoint backwards into your head, but that would ruin the worlds that don’t have said issue so it becomes a balance. You could always upload 2 versions, one with the viewpoint between the eyes and another pushed back into the head so you could switch depending on the clipping distance of the world.

[vague raft]

It won’t be Dynamic bones, the performance is just to poor for the platform. The Vrc team has a new system, Avatar Dynamics, that they’re developing which has been rumoured to perform well enough to make it available for all Quests. There’s not a huge amount of info on it as they’re still working on it but the game updates and sdk updates have stopped compared to last year so it feels like something big is coming.

But that last bit is just a guess

[slate willow]

man how do legs in skirt

do legs be separate to mesh or do i connect legs to skirt

[neon kestrel]

Separate

[slate willow]

thank

cuz the skirt doesnt have a hole or anything

the skirt is part of the mesh so there isnt really anywhere to put the legs

if I put them separate I dont have to worry about funky normals and stuff

[past rover]

https://medium.com/vrchat/avatar-dynamics-dev-update-9582d674ab1d

“PhysBones on Quest when?!”, you ask? Preliminary tests show that we’ll be able to get Avatar Dynamics on Quest, although with tighter restrictions than we’ll have on PC (which we haven’t determined yet). So, short answer: yes, but you’ll have limits so you don’t steal frames or melt headsets.

Thanks to the progress we’ve been able to make so far, we wanted to announce that Avatar Dynamics Open Beta is coming early next year!

"Next year" meaning 2022, so hopefully within weeks the open beta should be out and whenever it's finished it'll be pushed to the main branch.

[west nest]

it's already 2022

[acoustic torrent]

Well I’d love to see what avatar creators could do, I’ve always made sure none of my avatars need dynamic bones so it looks good for both sides

I’ve been using animations instead of dynamic bones

[sinful junco]

Wow just read that Post on Medium, This is exciting! this is stuff I've been dreaming about for a couple years now! No more weird back door insanely complex systems 😄 , Also im really hoping this performance increase from the replacement of dynamic bones really improves Vrchats gameplay as a whole. This would make the game so much more fun without all the performance issues.

[nova root]

I cannot seem to upload any avis because of "error saving blueprint." I have detached the blueprint several times, logged in and out of the SDK, and still have the same issue. Any ideas?

[jade grail]

have you tried restarting unity?

[foggy pelican]

Can you elaborate?

what's going on when you try to download it

so Unity 2019.4.31f1 yes?

If you've made a project and opened it you should just be able to double click on the SDK in file explorer and then import it

[lyric ledge]

both? Only 1 type of sdk is allowed, either choose world or avatar, depending on what you are trying to do

[foggy pelican]

I think by both they mean Unity and the VRCSDK

[lyric ledge]

very well, proceed

[foggy pelican]

If you need help finding a fnf model can't really help you there, not my type of thing.

So you already tried double clicking on the SDK you downloaded?

[sonic dome]

I got a question. There's something I'm trying to fix in blender but I can't seem to figure out how. Does anyone think they could help?

[fluid grotto]

Not sure how active it is but #3d-modeling Is the dedicated channel for it

This is more for the unity side

[rich timber]

I'm brand new to VR chat, is it consider rude to clone someone's avatar? I want to make sure I follow community standards and be polite and stuff

[fluid grotto]

They are wearing a public avatar and they have cloning enabled you are free to clone it without asking any questions. It’s not rude.

[rich timber]

Ok cool cool thank you so much 😊

[fluid grotto]

There are many ways, the lazy way is One side is left leg the other side is right leg and you do it with the gradient tool then I usually add in some hip along the top also a gradient so the top edge does not move

[glacial ice]

Ye it's all there for a reason

[slate willow]

I have no idea what you just said

[fluid grotto]

Learn how to use the gradient tool in weight paint mode. Once you know how that tool works it’s easy

[neon finch]

say i wanted to add a rain effect around my avtar would i connect that rain particle sytem to my avtar or just include it in the scene with a toggle

[past rover]

Only objects that are parented to your avatar will be included during upload, so you'll have to connect it

[neon finch]

what would you recomned i connect it to so it stays still

or still enough to look fine

[past rover]

There are tricks with constraints you can use to drop things in world space. Try looking up tutorials on youtube

[neon finch]

ok i will thanks

[past rover]

That means they'll stay in place when you move around

[hazy geode]

Hello, so one person claims their avatar is 4MB but when I look a their details it says 30. They also say my avatar is 1.2MB while on my end it says 0.91MB. So what's the deal here?

[fluid grotto]

If you were on different platforms(quest vs pc) you are seeing different builds of the same blueprint which can be different sizes

[lunar halo]

Question, does anyone know of a general fix for the full body "Hunch" walk when your arms are even remotely forward.

[barren hemlock]

You'd either have to disable the hips tracking, or the hands tracking during walking. Typically most people just disable locomotion entirely which, in my opinion, is not smart

[neon finch]

anyone know how to make a particle system larger without making the paricles larger

normally this wou;dnt be an issue

but i have this rain prefab and when i grow it as i want it to be huge it make the rain huge too

and i want the normal sized rain

over a bigger area

nvm i figured it out lol

[lunar halo]

damn yea no this is for an RP avatar so I cant be floating around lol

[barren hemlock]

Then probably your best bet is disabling hand tracking during the walk

[neon finch]

damn no nsfw avatars work for me i only got one that is actually working

[silver adder]

NSFW avatars are against the community guidelines anyways, so you'll get banned if you are caught using one.

[neon finch]

wait fr?

[humble hatch]

they are not bannable unless you go in publics with them

[neon finch]

yeah thats what i thought

[silver adder]

Using them in private is a grey-area though. Cause if you post videos or screenshots of you using them in private you can still get banned.

[humble hatch]

yeah ik

[neon finch]

where can i find them tho

[silver adder]

You aren't going to find many in-game cause avatar worlds with them get moderation action taken against the creator.

[neon finch]

damn

[silver adder]

They used to allow NSFW content with content warnings, but people abused the system so they ended up banning it outright. The options for the content warnings are still in the SDK for some reason though, but they do nothing.

[lunar halo]

well im mostly trying to achieve this for when im moving forward and holding a gun in front of me I dont look like a damn wackadoo. so disabling hand tracking wouldnt be the solution, currently im just trying to remember to pull my hands closer to my chest while moving

[neon finch]

oh but is their any like other places that i can find them?

like discord servers

or som else like that

[silver adder]

All I can say is Google is your friend.

Careful not to accidentally get something that was ripped though, that alone will get you banned.

[neon finch]

right thx

[prime aspen]

where do i download VRCSDK3

[steady onyx]

log into vrchat.com an on your left there should be a download tab

[prime aspen]

i feel dumb thank you

[steady onyx]

ts all good

its

[snow crescent]

anyone here make avatars for a low price?

or free

[barren hemlock]

Well if you disable the hip then you'll be able to walk sideways if you tilt your hip tracker that way

[nova root]

I'm still having this issue, if anyone has any suggestions.

[hollow idol]

low price as in $100 lmao

but ur not gonna find a custom for too inexpensive imp

imo*

[granite sleet]

oh yeah same here looking for that

[snow crescent]

bro what are you snorting I never payed 100 for a avatar

[hollow idol]

wdym

if ur finding people who make customs for under 100 good for u but they need to raise their prices

but also #community-servers-old join vrc traders if ur looking for customs

[solar sedge]

can someone explain why avatar polygons sometimes DOUBLE when imported into unity

it doesn't make much sense

[sonic spade]

Your blender might have been showing the number of faces, so when importing into unity, unity automagically triangulates all the meshes, which is double the faces (usually)

[solar sedge]

I'm starting to really not like unity as a whole

so essentially there's no possible way to have already existing avatars made quest compatible due the fact that it's not 5k polygons

[sonic spade]

I think there is a checkbox if you click on the imported model in the explorer where you can tell unity to keep quads instead of triangulating, but I think vrc will still counts the tris since that is the correct measurement

Wasn't quest going up to 20k or something? Thought the fallback is super low poly count

[solar sedge]

yeah but, the problem is if it triangulates the mesh that'd be crucial

I already have a 30k poly mesh and I was trying to make it less than 20k

but due to that funky unity fact that It gets doubled each time I don't see much I can do about it

man that really is discouraging

thanks for letting me know

[lyric ledge]

It's the terminology of tris, quads, faces, edge, vertices. In the case of vrchat it's tris.

[solar sedge]

I see

[sonic spade]

you sure blender is showing triangles? it should show both faces is and tris if you enable statistics from here

[solar sedge]

in this case I have 55k tris

[sonic spade]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/501386492145303554/937350695139569735/unknown.png

[solar sedge]

wonderful

[sonic spade]

discord, please, can you work for 1 second

[solar sedge]

alright, at least I'm sure I'll never get it to work

discord is DYING

so basically I have to depend on tris instead of faces

that'd be pretty tough

[sonic spade]

you can get it to work, but it wont look that great, best bet is to dissolve as many loops as you can

[solar sedge]

alright, I'll have to give it a go

[sonic spade]

aight gtg

💨

[sonic spade]

Anyone know how to make chairs that shrink people?

Seen it being done, so its possible, but no clue how they do it

[cloud yoke]

would anyone be ok in making me a digimon avatar cause theres little of them quest compatable except agumon, v mon, renamon etc im mainly after tailmon if anyones down

[sonic spade]

try VRCTraders

[glacial ice]

doubling polygons when importing into Unity? check your retopology, at the least make sure there's no n-gons...games/game engines use triangles, modelers use quads for ease of use, hence why and how you end up with more faces/polygons when importing

[ebon crystal]

n- gons are fine for not bendable things like weapons... check in blender if you have more than one object what you export, unity doesn't merge objects automatically and thats cause sometimes weird poly counts

[neon finch]

am i the only one that first assumed setting up a 3.0 avatar was gonna be long and hard like 2.0?

[agile solar]

[neon finch]

As in setting up the basics

[neon finch]

Could anyone import an avatar for me it wont let me

[delicate cosmos]

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]

oof im still visitor no wonder

[hoary yoke]

Am I able to ask for help here on making certain effects?

[gleaming flax]

Probably

[hoary yoke]

So

lemme put up a scenario here

I have a vietnam cockroach avatar

has a little cigarette

I want to make it so when people are near me, I can press a button to blow out a puff of smoke like im smoking, then they begin hearing a helicopter in the distance

and after a bit

this plays on their screen, or maybe a sphere around us appears to show it in the background

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/937235310675374110/937428499684278292/roach_nam.mp4

This would play

Would you have any suggestins on how to create that effect? @gleaming flax

[gleaming flax]

My guy i am so new to this shit I’ve just installed a different version of unity for the fifth time and am currently importing a VRM converter and the SDK for the twentieth damn time and still have yet to successfully upload the avi i made in bloody Vroid

[hoary yoke]

Did you laugh at the video atleast?

[gleaming flax]

I didn’t look yet but I’ll check it out now lol

[hoary yoke]

If you did then atleast one productive thing was done

[gleaming flax]

[hoary yoke]

ngl looked like she had a cock in her mouth

[gleaming flax]

[neon finch]

There A Way We Can Bring A Chicken Little Avatar In VRchat?

[acoustic gust]

Does anyone has a tutorial / tool for creating animation in unity? Like doing the actual .anim file for dances or selfmade sitting animations? All tutorials i find are about adding existing .anim files to you avatar :/

[marsh nymph]

Unity's animation tools aren't all that great, tbh. There are plugins at the Unity store that help with this.
Personally I make them in Blender and transfer them via fbx export

[normal laurel]

Anyone know if walking modes would be possible? Like going from 2 legged to 4? I don't want to make it 2 models or double the mesh if possible

[merry swan]

can toggle locomotion to do so

another set for that part

[normal laurel]

Ok so pretty much spawn another upper half? Because my model is already 7000 tris and I do want this to be viewable on Quest.

[west nest]

7k is when you want it to be fallback

you could also weight paint 2 legs which are connected to one bone

[normal laurel]

Ok so I can upload 2 models, full features and a fallback, and that should at least show the model if played on quest albeit without the extra features?

[fluid grotto]

The key point is that you need to have the same blueprint ID on both uploads

That’s the “Pipeline Manager” component on the root game object

If they have different id’s you’ll just end up with one PC only avatar and a separate quest only avatar

Which you can’t wear at the same time

[normal laurel]

Alright. I'll try to finish my model with that in mind. At least now I know I might be able to basically duplicate the character with a different mode.

[fluid grotto]

Quest has much stricter limits the same model typically won’t work for both platforms. Quest has a lower triangle budget and can’t do cutout or transparency.

[normal laurel]

That's why I've been trying to keep it under 10K

[uncut radish]

in sdk2.0, they had an amazing prone animation and prone walk. is there a file to add that on the sdk3.0 prones. the ones in the sdk2 dont work in sdk 3

the sdk3 prone sucks -.-

[normal laurel]

And finally for now: is the shadergraph supported? I know URP isn't, but simple shaders is all I need right now

[fluid grotto]

You edit any of the proxy animations in SDK3. Just make sure to rename them to not start with “proxy” or they don’t get uploaded

[uncut radish]

would appreciate a bettter explination. how would renaming them make the prone animation look the same as in sdk2

[jade grail]

it should just be a simple animation clip that you should be able to transfer with no problem

[uncut radish]

from where to wher

[jade grail]

uh. you open an old project where you have the sdk2 installed and then you grab the prone animation and just drag it into your new project that has the sdk3

[uncut radish]

i still dont understand ....

because ive tried all of the above in the past

and the prone animation from sdk2 to sdk 3 turns into a mixamoo that dosent work in sdk3

thats why im asking if theres FILES for SDK3 specifically available

[jade grail]

what you talking aout mixamo?

that's a website?

[uncut radish]

when you put the prone animation into the sdk3 project it turns into the following

ok great cant even send photo

[jade grail]

it's just a simple animation clip. it can't change into anything else

[uncut radish]

ok then. if its a simple animation clip send me it here

or in dm

[jade grail]

bruh

then I'd have to download the sdk, open unity, create a new project, import sdk, export the animation and send it to you

do you even know how the different animations work?

[uncut radish]

ive uploaded sdk2 and sdk3 animations before yes

and even modified them.

i am saying the sdk2 into sdk3 animation dosent work

im not talking about a custom animation that some dude made. im talking about the original prone animation. when you import it into sdk3 it becomes a mixamoo name bs

[jade grail]

so if you go into a project with the sdk2 you should be able to find an example for a locomotion layer. in that locomotion layer find the prone animation state and it should have a motion field. although it's probably a blend tree instead of a single animation clip

[solar sedge]

guys wasn't the max polycount 20k for quest 2?

[jade grail]

it is. going beyond and your avatar will be blocked by default from others and people will have to manually enable it to see it

[solar sedge]

but it says that the minimum is 10k

for some appearent reason

when I have 19997 polygons

specifically so it doesn't reach 20k

[jade grail]

10k is "good" quality rank. meaning it'll be shown by default

[solar sedge]

I see

[jade grail]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/avatar-performance-ranking-system#quest-limits

[solar sedge]

I suppose It's just not giving me an option to even test it out

which Is why I was confused

[jade grail]

quest does not have the "Build & Test" feature. you can only upload

[solar sedge]

oh I see

[loud geode]

Hello~ D: I'm having trouble uploading an avatar to vrchat I'm getting this strange VRChat SDK window and I can't upload for some reason O.O

nvm! I figured it out ^_^ I had to press Authentication to log in xD

[neon finch]

Hi

[teal vessel]

Hello! I’m looking for someone who’s willing to teach/mentor me on making 3D models and stuff. I recently became interested in it, and I’ve been watching videos, but I still get confused

[jade grail]

watch the donut tutorial

[untold rock]

(Blender Guru made a really good one)

(several actually since he did one for Blender 2.7/2.8 and one for 3.0)
only watched the 2.7/2.8 version of the tutorial and he's really good at explaining stuff (he explains all the basics, shortcuts and stuff he does)

[sonic spade]

really recommend learning 2.8 and up, no reason to start with 2.79

[dense sun]

grant abbitt and yansculpts are also both really good for learning character creation in blender

https://www.youtube.com/c/yansculpts

https://www.youtube.com/c/GrantAbbitt

[neon finch]

Hello i have a question, what is the time for uploadmy avatar ? because i play 1 hour and i dont upload because the security

[west nest]

if you ask about new user than you need to play activly

[dense sun]

Took me a couple of weeks of active use to get there.

[west nest]

not time

[neon finch]

oh shit okay thanks you xDDD

[eager wraith]

hey, i have a question is it possible if you made youre own quest compateble version of an avatar to let it upload that this is the avatar quest users see when im in a pc only avatar?

[hasty hemlock]

https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/avatar-fallback-system#uploading-a-fallback

[neon finch]

To anyone that've used Gumroad before to buy avatars when you need to redownload the same avatar file do they make you pay and buy the product again?

[west nest]

https://customers.gumroad.com/article/199-how-do-i-access-my-purchase

you have tutorial on finding what you purchased

[neon finch]

Thank you and when the item says 25+ you just pay like $25 on it right? Sorry it's my first time buying from Gumroad

[west nest]

yes it's 25 or higher

[neon finch]

hii im new does anyone have a FAT mickey mouse avatar?

[neon finch]

No i hav thick Kermit the frog

Dose that work

[narrow zodiac]

is anyone else having problems with unity?

[karmic totem]

Probably not, you'll need to be specific on the problems you are having

[high matrix]

can anyone teach me to use unity?

[jade grail]

yes. first you download unity. then you create a new project. and you're now successfully using unity

[fluid grotto]

Just

Install blender from steam

Current version, let it auto update.

No reason anyone new to blender should start with anything outdated

Current blender doesn’t bust plugins when it updates

[lime lava]

huh

[fluid grotto]

(That’d be blender 3)

I’ve seen enough people get sad when their shapekeys corrupt because they aren’t using current blender where it doesn’t do that anymore

[dense sun]

also multiresolution sculpting isn't a thing in 2.8, IIRC

which is really a wonderful thing to have

[toxic forge]

unity 2019, newest sdk, why does my avatars "aa" viseme not work in game.?
ive tested it in unity, its there, older 3.0s i have made with the same model have the "aa" working,
but for some reason when i say ah in vrchat the mouth stays closed?
i think its an SDK bug because i think ive seen this recently on another avatar. any help guys?

and just to confirm YES the aa viseme is there and working and set to be used

[toxic forge]

oh god never use the steam version, the auto updates will break your shit
