I have tons of plugins, never had any of them break

toxic forge
#

like when 2.8 came out

dim dome
#

Dum question I'm sure. I'm on PC, using wireless quest. How do I make the avatar lay on its back? All I know how to do, is make the character crouch, by xhaning from sitting and standing mode.

#

Ah ok. I assume laying down is something I can add right? Through unity?

vivid panther
#

Possibly šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø Iā€™ve only had the game for a week

#

Ah ok.

#

I've reached out to the maker of my avatar but their in a different country.

#

hello, is it possible to upload a private avatar that a friend can only use?

west nest
timber tusk
#

how can this be done then?

west nest
#

if you upload avatar and wear it everyone on pc can enable it there is no way to hide it from others

#

maybe only from quest users bcs you can not upload it on quest

timber tusk
#

I didn't say hide, just make not-copyable

#

sorry for the confusion

west nest
#

so others can't clone it?

#

i mean the only thing you can do is upload it as private and turn off cloning in game nothing more

timber tusk
#

but can my friend clone it/save it?

#

like, can I upload it, then have my friend clone it, and then turn of cloning or something?

#

make it private afterwards?

west nest
#

you can only clone public avatars

timber tusk
#

ok, so then can I make it public so my friend can clone it, then afterwards switch it to private? so he can use it still but no one else?

west nest
#

when you gonna switch it to private i think your friend gonna lose it

#

you can just give your friend an avatar file so they can use it too

#

if you want it to be private

timber tusk
#

but he doesn't know how to do the unity stuff, but I want to be able to update the avatar for him. seems a hassle to need to keep making him receive and upload the file for every change lol. the only other way would be to get his login/password info so I can do it myself, but meh to that lol

west nest
#

you could make unity package so he only need to click upload and name it

timber tusk
#

it's more about the frequent changes and that being annoying to make him do all the time lol

west nest
#

well for now only public avatars can be clonned.

timber tusk
#

ok, I see, thank you

past rover
#

That is the only alternative to sending the files to your friend directly.

timber tusk
merry swan
#

yes

past rover
#

Through illicit means, yeah. That goes for any avatar you upload.

#

does anyone else have this issue that can help

vague raft
# neon finch what is the max of toggles u can have on ur model?

Before bools, there was a method that popped up in order to get more than 16 unique toggles by using only 2 ints to control 255 toggles. So with 8 pairs of these int toggles you could have 2040 toggles. Keep in mind it would have to sync all of them for late joiners manually which in turn would disable the userā€™s ability to toggle whilst it was syncing. Plus it couldnā€™t save the state of the toggles for when you swap avatars/worlds. Itā€™s possible but you lose some functionality.

Hi, when a public avatar is deleted does it disappear from everyone's favourite list? One of the avatars I've favourited became not available and I wonder if I should remove it or it can become available again.

vague raft

Iā€™d just wait a week or so before removing it.

weak dirge
#

anyone else having issues uploading stuff to vrchat rn? unity is uploading perfectly fine but nothing appears in vrchat and anything that does is showing as an error bot

west nest
#

typical problem with that version

weak dirge
#

I'm not

#

I'm using the recommended version

#

I've been using it and uploading it all day

#

But suddenly out of nowhere it stopped working properly

west nest
#

error bots mean you applied on avatar something wrongly

#

or it has hidden errors

weak dirge
#

Just checked, no errors to be found.

#

I think vrchat is just being funky.

#

For me at least

#

It did this to me before and it was vrchat having upload and read issues which was fixed not long after. Which is why I'm asking if anyone else was having issues

#

Usually ut will fix itself after a little

west nest
#

sometimes yes avatar need to re uploaded bcs it had problem at first

#

i had that problem couple times

night gust
#

Does anyone have any videos explaining how to have an avatar sit down on an object and not move, basically making it so that they drive around on the object like a vehicle. Also is there a way to fix chairs aswell so 1 they're not jittery and 2 people in full body and what not sit in it properly

#

yo, does someone mind doing a vc with me, there are some problems im having with making my avatar

neon finch
#

I don't know if this is the appropriate channel to put this, but is a site known as VRC Arena safe to get avatars from?

#

I don't want to accidentally steal someone's creation or get in trouble for using it

west nest
#

it isn't allowed to use.

neon finch
#

ah thank you

west nest
#

same as site starting from r

neon finch
#

My friend sent it to me and I asked myself "wait is this safe-"

west nest
#

these models are to buy on booth

silver adder
#

VRCArena is just a link repository, it doesn't host any actual avatar files.

#

It just catalogs avatars and tells you where you can purchase (or download if it's a free base) them.

neon finch
#

got it!

#

thank you!! :D

hasty hemlock
west nest
#

k than i was afraid it does oof

neon finch
#

Same. Glad I know it just shows avatar links

west nest
#

well good you are trying to be honest with avatars

hasty hemlock
#

it mostly exist because gumroad doesn't have a Avatar category like booth.pm does

#

and good on you to check Epickk2276 checking the safety of the website first

neon finch
#

Why thank you :D

It's always right to ask the community if a site is okay to go on. Otherwise you could get into trouble

west nest
#

i seen many users get banned bcs of ripping avatars

#

so don't do that it's too risky

hasty hemlock
#

yeah there's definitely plenty of websites that have vrc in the name that are dodgy as all heck

neon finch
#

If I click switch build target to android on a pc avatar will it convert it successfully or will it break it because i havenā€™t atlases the textures

#

šŸ˜‚yeh thatā€™s what I thought

#

But would it be easily fixable

#

Itā€™s already very poor

#

So I donā€™t mind

#

It has 113k polys

#

Iā€™m not Tryna get it down rn either I donā€™t have time

solid laurel
#

Would it be possible to have an avatar do something like "Scan" another player and then output a miniature version of that scan in game? like a 3d printer kind of thing?

#

I know there are working polaroid avatars for 2d photos, I was just wondering if it could be done in 3d

hello. I have a question: Is it possible for my avatar to have an animation where its face can be opened?

west nest
neon finch
#

Does anyone do free commissions?

agile solar

Though, the only "free" commissions will probably be recolors or extremely simple edits.

Or Iā€™ll probably look for public ones like everyone else

agile solar
#

Were you hoping for a free custom avatar?

quaint viper
#

Question for the dynamic cloth sphere or capsule. Does the cloth normally go through the sphere and capsule sometime in actual in-game speed vrchat?

#

Example: You have a cape on your back, cape clips through the capsule if the player speed are too fast.

vague raft
#

Best way to get a free custom avatar is ||to do it yourself||

#

Hola everyone, was wondering if anyone would be interested in participating in an avatar beauty pageant on Sunday

toxic forge
#

any good info on differences between int. bool. float?

#

im new

vague raft
#

Int is every whole number up to 256, Bool is just True or False and Float is every value between -1.0 and 1.0 up to 7 decimal places, I believe. But due to something I don't remember the name of, vrchat only has accuracy up to 2 decimal places.

toxic forge
#

so for basic on off toggles should i use int or bool?

vague raft
#

Bool would be best

#

We have a parameter memory limit of 128 bits. Ints and Floats are 8 meanwhile Bools are 1.

toxic forge
#

good to know, i did not know that. examples ive looked at have just been using int for basic toggles

vague raft
#

yeah once upon a time we didn't have access to synced bools so a lot of the sdk3 tutorials that were made to get views use int

#

I really wish the bone count thresholds were adjusted.
Having full finger articulation and props is really difficult to bring down to 75.

#

Glad you're so awesome friend.

barren hemlock
#

I'm saying it's not difficult

toxic forge
#

I don't understand what you mean though. How many more finger bones do you need for full articulation? Like the human hand only has so many and there already there normally in most models. Like what??

lethal wren
toxic forge
lethal wren
# toxic forge ok but read my second more serious comment though

Alright then let's riddle this.
30 finger bones.
Toes go from 2-10-20 depending on your insanity.
Basic bodies go from 20-25.

Base level we're at 50 bones just for the body and having a decent range of flexes.

A naive approach says this means I can have 15 individual prop toggles.
Which is totally true.
What you can see is I have more complicated props with a couple layers of bones because I want my props to be more than a brick.
Take that, and whatever limitted jiggling bones I did want to set up not considering that I threw dynamic bones in the trash a year ago for AD, I'm struggling to get these in to have a model with versatility.

#

I'm comfortably below 150, but I can't break the 75 barrier.

toxic forge
#

hmm

#

why do you need to get below 75?

#

vrchats performance rankings are kind of trash anyway

lethal wren
#

Because that's my only limiting factor right now.
Everything else is excellent.

#

And that is my point, 75 is a dumb threshold.
I am already in the green, but so close to the ultimate green.
I'd have the greatest bragging rights if I could make it.
But I cannot.

toxic forge
#

warm berry
#

How do you check rank level?

#

To upload?

#

Trying to see if I can save $10

lethal wren
#

The website and your color border is easy to check.
In game your Social Profile should say as well

warm berry
#

Ah got it

#

Well guess I'm paying $10

#

lol

#

How do you make sure the avatars are private? Is there a password system or something?

#

Or can I designate specific users?

rigid comet
#

you click a checkmark when uploading

warm berry
#

I saw that

#

Thanks

#

But whats it do?

rigid comet
#

disables cloning

warm berry
#

ok

#

So say I want 10 copies of the same avatar to distribute only to people for some reason

#

How do I do that?

#

Or I just want my friends to use it

#

Please tell me this doesn't just do 1/1 or public?

lethal wren
#

If you set to public, the avatar is public.
You friends can clone it off you.
If your friends have their cloning enabled, people can clone it off them.
As long as you don't put it on an avatar world and your friends don't mess up, you're good.

Otherwise, you can have your friends upload the avatar to their account.

#

Course the usual method for limited distribution is to have the model public only when needed then delete it off VRC so nobody keeps it anymore if it spreads.

#

Hold up, did AvatarDynamics get renamed to Fizzbones??

hasty hemlock
#

no it's still AvatarDynamics

lethal wren
#

Okay cause I saw a post on reddit and searched it here and a bunch of people have said it so I just got spooked something happened I didn't read

foggy pelican
lethal wren
#

Thank you for the context, almost thought I was losing my mind

barren hemlock
#

People think the amount of bones means nothing to performance but it actually does a lot

lethal wren
#

Good for you buddy.

barren hemlock
#

Not good for you pal

#

Suck up the Good performance as long as you want your jiggle physics

lethal wren
#

It's like you didn't see what I said because you wanna be biased :)

barren hemlock
#

How does anything I said hint that I didn't read what you said? I literally just explained why the limits are a thing

lethal wren
#

Yeah, I know why they're a thing.
But you brought up jiggles like I'm a jiggle master.

barren hemlock
#

Well you're above the bone limit with them so...

#

Guaranteed if you removed those bones you'd be below the limit

lethal wren
#

Yeah, 12 bones for the hair, the only jiggle which'll be the only DB take 5 DB transforms.
Which doesn't solve the issue of everything else indeed as said before, bye bye functionality of everything else that will have to go that are not jiggles.

barren hemlock
#

My avatar has 6 bones for hair and it's still 8 below 75

#

I thought you did the math earlier

#

50 for body, 12 for hair = 62. 13 for toggles

#

Should be plenty

lethal wren
#

Should be* asterisk.

barren hemlock
#

It literally is

#

Not sure how math can be wrong

#

But do as you do

lethal wren
#

Math can be wrong when good faith is revoked.
Even if I reduce the props to bones that will limit them to the absolute minimum, I still miss out.
I will do as I do, the least I can say is that I have noted a couple other parts I can reduce down further.

barren hemlock
#

Dang I hope we stop teaching math in schools then

red path
lethal wren
#

Ah right, true. I had forgotten about that bit.

red path
#

No DBs => you can remove all hair bones and anything that would jiggle to get to excellent rank then.

rigid comet
#

in the end the sacred jiggle was the cause indeed

red path
#

Or you could use constraints so that your hair point down always.

#

Without any DB.

lethal wren
#

Yeah, that'd be a decent jump up.
Really all this entire thing is that I wish I could get excellent on my main with my complicated props.
Will have to do an optimized version I guess without props and hair adjustments even though I'm already good.

Unity loves to ruin my blendshapes.

#

After I've set my blendshapes. It just resets them.

#

When I upload my model.

lethal wren
#

Set them reset them?
Are you trying to set a default face?

wild pike
#

My body blendshapes. My model has breasts and I don't want them.

#

I brought them all the way down.

#

You can't set negative blendshapes.

barren hemlock
#

Yeah VRC only allows values 0-100

wild pike
#

Dude. I don't understand.

#

Unity is ruining my blendshapes.

barren hemlock
#

How

wild pike
#

I sent my blendshapes

#

All to 0.

#

For the ones I don't want.

#

Then when I go an upload, my blenshapes are at 100.

barren hemlock
#

Then you have animations driving them

#

Remove the animations

tiny ice
#

Hey I have a question, rather than have different clothing objects in unity and have expressions toggle outfits, could a loophole simply be to upload many versions of the same avatar with different outfits for diff occasions? Is there any downside in doing this?

foggy pelican
tiny ice
foggy pelican
#

Maybe as people don't like switching avatars because it has to be downloaded separately each time, and in the case of public Avatars you'd have to favorite each outfit separately (if you like all of those outfits that is) which takes up favorite slots.

vague raft
# tiny ice Yeah I feel like that would be a much better alternative for that reason and cur...

Vrchat used to also be a lot worse when it came to changing and loading avatars. For some, the combination of poorly optimised avatars, being in a world for a couple hours and then swapping models would straight up crash vrchat. Thus they would make these ā€™wardrobeā€™ avatars so youā€™d never have to switch. As you only see 1 outfit at a time itā€™d perform like the avatars you had before you just would have a Very Poor ranking.

#

Wasnā€™t the evolution for everyone but for some itā€™s what influenced the change. Now with the ability to have thousands of toggles the thought is, ā€œWhy not just have more on the model to give the user more of a choice for appearanceā€ and so commercial models have 5 tops and 8 bottoms to choose from with piercings everywhere you want and donā€™t want.

Can i use the same method of "toggling different hand gestures via a parameter driver" for changing the running animation? I want to make a new gesture set that allows the avatar to fly/run on air, with the run animation changing as it does so. Would that even be possible?

A simple bool toggle can do that , so it goes to a 2nd set of locomotion, or any paramter as a 2nd condition

Hi, I have a question, if anyone can help, please lmk. So I use my phone on my hip as a tracker (owo track) but I dont have any other trackers. When I get close to the floor and the crouch or sitting animation activates, my hip tracker doesn't track anymore because the animation overrides it. But i've seen an avatar with which I can sit down and the hip tracker still works and only my legs which don't have trackers on them go into the animation. How can I set this up in unity?

It definitely depends on the person but adding a mask the model and giving it a toggle shouldnā€™t cost too much. If those are the only things you want changed then honestly it would be a lot easier for you to learn the process yourself.

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.

i tried to disable hiptracking via the correct tracking layer and animated a rotated spine but it didnt do anything apart from disabling the tracker

#

im not good with humanoid bone animations in combination with avatar 3

fluid grotto
#

With six point tracking you will usually completely override any pose youā€™re doing underneath the IK. So youā€™ll need to use an animator tracking control behavior to turn off part of your IK to show the animation underneath

best i can do is have them enabled by default

I'm looking for information on different strategies we can use to animate gun recoil in VRChat.

#

I know we can use particle effects for the bullets, use bone or blendshape motion for the moving parts, add sound effects etc. but I'm specifically curious to see if anyone has been able to blend hand and arm IK with some sort of angle offset to create the feeling of recoil. Does anyone know any particular avatars that do this or creators who specialize in this?

neon finch
slim sand
#

From my experience, that won't lift the arm up in VR mode.

#

The IK solver will attempt to resolve the rest of the body parts while keeping the hands and head in place.

#

I see this when I use the additive layer to animate the chest and neck bones in an idle breathing motion.

dim gorge
#

can someone help me with a texture thats suppose to be a cutout texture but no matter what it wont be cutout

barren hemlock
# fluid grotto I donā€™t really care how it behaves I just wish it would be consistent. Normal vr...

They fine tune each tracking type to work the best possible way for the viewer. For example, if they just has some generic IK settings it'd look as bad as ChilloutVR did with some ugly IK. Once we get this new 10-point tracking I assume even that will behave differently. Honestly as frustrating as VRC's IK is to work with on crazy levels, it is the most clean and best looking IK of any VR Social game out there

fluid grotto
#

That is the entire purpose of the Animator Tracking Control behavoir.

#

It's just not working right.

barren hemlock
fluid grotto
#

Well congratulations then: We agree, it's not working right.

#

šŸ˜«

barren hemlock
#

It's actually working entirely as intended

#

It's meant to disable IK

fluid grotto
#

It's not disabling the IK

barren hemlock
#

The Animator Tracking Control allows you to enable or disable IK or simulated movement on various different parts of the avatar body. Setting the option to "No Change" will not change the body part from its current value. "Tracking" will set it to following IK or simulated movement. "Animation" will force that body part to respect values as given by the avatar's Animator.

Gonna be a yikes from me

fluid grotto
#

Then why doesn't it disable the IK?

barren hemlock
#

It does

fluid grotto
#

I can show you it does not disable the hip

barren hemlock
#

However it does it by part

fluid grotto
#

I can set the entire avatar to animation except for head and hands and then wave my hip tracker around and it will go crazy

barren hemlock
#

Yeah, because your hands and head still run IK

fluid grotto
#

my head and hands aren't moving.

#

only the hip tracker

#

it should have no influence

barren hemlock
#

As a humanoid avatar, you cannot disable a specific part of IK without disabling it all. It still respects IK rules during the animation, as it should. What tracking control does is disable the IK from tracking at all but still keeps the overall biped IK enabled, and therefore allow you to animate it using the animator. If it outright disabled IK, you'd be in T-pose no matter what part you disabled

fluid grotto
#

It's not working in a remotely useful way.

barren hemlock
#

Well then you might wanna put in a request to add a new behaviour to the SDK. This specific one works as intended by the developers.

fluid grotto
#

the expected behavoir for turnning off your hip and feet trackers is that they act like they don't exist

barren hemlock
#

Right, exactly the intended behavior

fluid grotto
#

Good, so change it to be intended behavoir

barren hemlock
#

Go ahead and post a request on canny

fluid grotto
#

Since I'm describing the intended behavoir, and it's not having that way, it's a bug report, but sure.

barren hemlock
#

I posted the intended behavior

#

And it works that way

#

So idk what else to say

fluid grotto
#

Did you code it?

barren hemlock
#

No, but the developers did and that excerpt literally came from the documentation that they wrote

#

Unless you're calling the developers themselves wrong

fluid grotto
#

Thanks, that's all I needed to hear.

barren hemlock
#

šŸ‘

#

Submit a bug report and have fun

fluid grotto
#

The misconception here is that documentation is supposed to describe how things are supposed to work - they are not.

Documentation is supposed to explain how things work - regardless if intended or not. Documentation in no way implies intended behavior. That's why they often fully describe bugs and workarounds, lol.

barren hemlock
#

I don't understand what you see then because what I read in the documentation is exactly how it works in-game. What you're describing to me is not the intended function of this behaviour according to the documentation, so your best bet is to submit a feature request to add an IK toggle behaviour to the SDK. Otherwise I have a strong feeling a bug report will be closed quickly

#

Especially since SDK3 went through multiple beta tests and has been published for a full year. If it was a bug, it would have been caught quickly on release since many users use this behaviour

fluid grotto
#

I question if you've even worked heavily with it in combination with fullbody if you think it's behavior is even close to predictable or useful.

barren hemlock
#

I literally use it in all my gesture states

#

x2 because I have two sets

#

I also create some advanced systems for avatars (not using this behaviour), so your questioning on my work is not needed

fluid grotto
#

I'm playing locomotion animations that are fully animated except for head and hand IK. They work perfectly on desktop and regular VR. but the moment a fullbody user plays it the hip juts out sideways and it looks entirely broken, even though the fullbody should have no impact on the animation as it should only be using head and hands.

barren hemlock
#

Head and Hands are part of the IK

fluid grotto
#

Yes, that's why they're set to tracking.

#

And it works perfectly in regular VR

barren hemlock
#

Right, so IK HAS to be enabled for the entire body

#

Regardless of tracking control

fluid grotto
#

That's a technical limitation that needs to be coded around then, because if the hip is moving based on the tracker when it's set to animation, it's not animating properly.

#

Why be able to turn it off in the first place if it does nothing?

barren hemlock
#

It doesn't move based on the tracker, it moves base on IK rules

fluid grotto
#

This is going in circles

#

I feel like you're intentionally being dense and arguing semantics

barren hemlock
#

As per IK rules, bones must stay a set distance away from each other

#

Read up on IK

fluid grotto
#

Well I give up. If I have this much resistance convincing a random user that it's not useful behavior, it's hopeless to even bother trying to explain it to the guy who coded it.

barren hemlock
#

Well when you're describing behavior without even understanding IK rules IDK what to tell you =P

fluid grotto
#

I don't need to

#

It's very simple - setting body parts to animation should act like those trackers don't exist. If you desire any other behavior, I'd question why.

barren hemlock
#

-doesn't understand a concept
-tries to argue game system that utilizes said concept
-???

fluid grotto
#

Could you explain to me why you prefer the way it works?

barren hemlock
#

I'm finished with this, as I got more important stuff to do. Please read up on IK and how it works before arguing about it

fluid grotto
#

Expected. Ok, we're done then.

barren hemlock
#

I have not stated a single opinion here. I quoted documentation an explained how IK works

fluid grotto
#

I appreciate your attempt at trying to be useful.

barren hemlock
#

Please avoid arguing about topics that you may not fully understand. Especially when you haven't even read documentation

fluid grotto
#

Stop defending intended behavoir if you can't explain why you think it should be that way XD

#

Sometimes features are poorly thought out. They can be perfectly made as intended, doesn't mean it's useful.

#

Certainly doesn't mean it should be that way.

#

You can repeat yourself about how IK works all you want, at the end of the day you don't have a component that has useful interaction with fullbody

#

That my friend, is a bug

barren hemlock
#

Read documentation

raw crow
#

how bad is the optimization on an avatar with 15 skinned mesh renderer?

#

(without taking into account the rest of the components)

hasty hemlock
#

why does it have 15 skinned mesh renderers

raw crow
#

to use it as toggles, many avatars are made in that way for what i have seen

hasty hemlock
#

how many do you typically actually have on

raw crow
#

16 in this one i'm editing, i don't pretend it to be poor performance or better, it will be verypoor

#

but i wanna know how really bad it is to have that quantity of skinned mesh renderers

#

like, does it lag people that much or it's okay?

hasty hemlock
#

how many of them do you actually have on at the same time

#

as that would be the rendering cost for folks

raw crow
#

12

hasty hemlock
#

that would be kind of heavy but not complete dumpster fire

#

I might suggest seeing if you could also upload a fallback version of your avatar

raw crow
#

i could do that

#

thanks

hasty hemlock
#

yeah that way the people that don't want to look at very poor have something ok to look at

neon finch
# raw crow i could do that

you can also just merge all of them together in blender and instead of using toggles on mesh, you toggle blendshapes that hide the verts and move the UV

#

would end up in higher poly count but having 16 skinned meshes is way worse than that

vague raft
#

So in this case, it comes down to 15 meshes and thus 15+ material slots minimum verses 2 mesh 2+ material slots (assuming face mesh separated) and 15+ blendshapes on the new merged mesh. Depending on the vert count of this merged mesh I would argue that using blendshapes could be worse for performance. Itā€™d get you into those Greener performance ranks but blendshapes are not cost free. In fact, on higher vert count meshes and with more shapes active, the performance cost will stack up quickly.

#

Itā€™s hard to say X is better than Y without knowing the full context of the model but it is something to consider. Iā€™ve recently started testing my models that use blendshapes for toggles by duplicating the model a couple dozen times and activating the shapes watching the stats in unity at least. Saying it loses a couple FPS would be an understatement. In comparison, whilst having hundreds of draw calls in another scene checking mesh togglesā€™ performance also wasnā€™t great, it did perform better.
But as I said, it is a model to model thing that I would at least check if you plan on committing to one or the other.

raw crow
#

thanks, btw i just realized in blender that each part has the same shape keys than the body, should i delete all those in each additional part i separated?

Hey yall! I dont have a question just yet just yet but I did discover something interesting while messing around. Maybe one of yall will find a use for this.

So im trying to set up coliders to get my avatar off the ground without jumping, when i did a test build where the collider was upright and slanted backwards, and only a bit of the edge was on the feet. After some testing i noticed that it could do one of two things:
1: Sometimes, if you ran into a wall, it would spit you back out the same side, facing away from said wall. Its sortof like using a portal gun, only youre placing one portal on top of another. If that makes sense.
2: Sometimes, if you ran into a wall, it would start bugging out where you begin clipping into it. if you keep going youll slowly start to go upwards, before clipping through the roof above you, putting you on the next floor! While in the wall the camera begins bugging out, so you can see simultaniously both behind and in front of you

It may need some tweaking to get one or other to work consistently but i just thought this was really cool!

# silver adder It's not available on Quest atm.

OSC API for Input is available for VRChat on both PC and Quest! More robust documentation for using OSC on your Quest is forthcoming, but basically you just need to point your OSC application at your Quest's IP using the default ports.

OSC API for Avatars is only available for PC for the moment, but we will be adding Quest support.

#

You can use OSC as a controller on Quest right now, but not to control avatar parameters.

What is OSC?

silver adder
#

Open Sound Control. Despite it's name, it's not at all related to audio.

SubsonicBeats sound like he knows all about Open Sound Control

It allows you to modify avatar parameters outside of the game using external software. Which enables things like custom eye tracking and face tracking.

vale fox
frigid tusk
#

i need a video

#

1;30 mins

#

@vale fox

vale fox
#

more.

frigid tusk
#

nope

vale fox
#

thats not enough time, at all. how much time do you think this is actually going to take you?

frigid tusk
#

thats all i have in a today

#

is i mean

#

day

vale fox
#

think beyond a single day

#

hell, think beyond a single week

frigid tusk
#

i know

hasty hemlock
#

you're not going to be able to make a whole Avatar from scratch in one day

#

like honestly that's a month-long project

vale fox
#

what youre trying to learn is going to be a lot more complicated than you think. there is no shame in using tools to get there faster but if thats the case you would find vroid or other programs that i cant mention a lot more useful and fun to use

frigid tusk
#

i thought you ment for help

vale fox
#

but if you know what youre getting into

frigid tusk
#

anyone know a better video then this one

vale fox
#

start with grant abbitt's beginner course. it is a lot longer than an hour and a half, so expec tto spend more than one day on it (you can spend an entire day on it if you no-life it)

frigid tusk
#

for a female body

vale fox
#

you can try to get a 1 on 1 instructor who will help you learn blender

frigid tusk
#

no i want to make a female body

vale fox
#

but its really hard to unless you specifically enroll in a course

hasty hemlock
vale fox
#

its not happening

#

unless you learn the program first

frigid tusk
#

then what do you recommand

#

for making an avatar for quest

#

because vriod doesnt work

#

and i am not using that readyplayerone

vale fox
#

if you learn the basics of blender you will have enough knowledge to optimize down a vroid avatar for quest. its work but it's infinitely less work than creating an avatar from scratch

#

thats what i would do if i were in your position

#

if you have money commissioning is also an option

#

also if by ruby you mean ruby rose im sure there is so many public avatars or mmd models out there that can be converted for VRChat with 90% of the work done for you

#

once again you need to know how to use blender first but only enough to edit said avatar. the above playlist i linked will leave you more than prepared and will even put you in a position where you can just start making your own small stuff to add on like simple accessories

frigid tusk
#

i have one done

#

but the eyebrows are broke

hasty hemlock
#

you could also modify these avatars which are free to download and Quest compatible

frigid tusk
#

witch idk how

#

how do i edit it

#

@hasty hemlock

hasty hemlock
#

learn the basics of blender first

#

perhaps start with a texture modification

frigid tusk
#

i have cloths

vale fox
#

youre asking a bit of a loaded question, kind of like asking "how do i build a rocket" and nothing else. as plush said, start with something specific like texture mods

#

here's a really really really short list of things you should probably learn how to do but like i said none of this matters if you dont know blender first so watch grant abbitt's playlist i linked above at some point

#
  • loop editing, loop dissolves
#
  • some functions: grid fill, merge verts, flip normals, recalculate normals, average face normals by area
#
  • retopology (hopefully not but you never know, god help you if it becomes necessary)
#
  • basic weight painting
#
  • basic rigging
#
  • uv unwrapping, editing
#
  • creating a texture atlas
#
  • being able to make simple assets (id start by giving ruby rose or whatever avatar you make some hair pins or keychains or fitting things that are not handheld objects
#
  • learning how to rig and weightpaint said simple assets onto your model (you should be able to take a hairpin you made and have it sway with the hair bone its closest to, as an example)
#
  • understanding textures and how to edit them in your image editor of choice (if you dont have photoshop or clip studio or other programs, or you just want a simple editor that doesnt suck, paint.net is great on windows, else use GIMP)
#

and theres a lot more things i didnt cover

#

once youve been doing that for a while you can start working on more insane things but before you can even do anatomy youre better off learning how to make clothes and hair, in that order, since clothes are already a big step up and hair is an even bigger step up

#

any leg or footware are easy clothes to start off on. you can work your way up to skirts afterwards. anything with sleeves even if its a simple t shirt will kick your ass the first time because of shoulders, so hold off from tops for a while. gloves may be a nightmare, so good luck with that

#

hair doesnt really have any good guides other than from just sheer practice and figuring out what workflow works for you

#

only after all of that can you start learning how to make "female bodies"

#

and even then that is a whole trip and a half

#

torsos and limbs are a massive step up from anything you would have been modeling previously

#

and then hands and faces are a magnitude (or several) higher in complexity from torsos and limbs

#

and throughout all of this unless you're in some sort of school for this and not just online classes, most of the time this is going to be purely self-taught with one-off input from stack-exchanges, discords, IRCs, or other Q/A communities like this one

#

thats the kind of committment you need

#

my first from scratch avatar took me 4* months after having learned blender for a year

#

now im at the point where i can do one in 1 if i really tried

#

but its still a pain in the ass

#

if you no life blender youll obviously get there a lot faster

#

but its your call

vague raft
#

I can bet they won't read the first message, but it is a good summary. I can tell that you too have suffered through the learning process.

#

People want to press 1 button and everything is done for them, and it does exist. It's called hiring and paying an Artist.

hasty hemlock
#

or putting up with Ready Player me

vague raft
#

But I do agree. The 'I don't want to learn I just want to model a body now' will teach you to hate not only blender but all modelling subject immediately

for non humonoid model

#

do I still have to use the humonoid Rig?

However, they work differently

lets say Im making a ufo

You can

#

It just won't animate or anything unless you set that up

Hey so I recently added an outfit onto my avatar and for some reason in game since then my avatar spins around a bunch when I jump or go up or down in anyway

#

and I've determined it's the outfit that causes it

#

I've tried removing certain pieces of the outfit to see if it's a either the shoes, skirt, whatever specifically, but it seems to be every piece

#

so I cannot really use this outfit at all if I can't figure out why it causes this šŸ˜”

neon finch
#

trying to upload avatar says prefab id dosent exist any ideas?

cloud lagoon
#

oh I posted this in the wrong channel, meant to post in the help one, my bad šŸ˜…

#

found the solution though!

hardy vigil
#

so whats the difference in this and the older models

vale fox
#

first thing you need to know is that everything you could do on sdk2 you can do on sdk3

#

if anyone tells you otherwise, theyre LYING

#

with that out of the way

#

the main difference is that sdk3 is closer to an actual sdk whereas sdk2 was basically a set of already defined systems all avatars had to conform to with any customizability beyond that having to involve sketchy hacks to make work

#

so some things may be more tedious than sdk3 like the fact that animations now need a couple of steps such as parameters, menu(s), and animation trees

#

but also

hardy vigil
#

i see, would that mean that there is more dynamic possibilities?

vale fox
#

you actually get to make animations now

#

pretty much, some things are actually possible and other things that were previously possible but really infeasible due to the hacks involved are now just straight up built into the sdk

hardy vigil
#

kinda always wanted to add something semi interactive with points on my character if they're touched.
like a keyboard on my arm

#

or something that would project a keyboard

vale fox
#

on top of that sdk3 is going to be the main sdk supported going forward since everything i just said about sdk2 being limited and sdk3 being open not only applies to the perspective from an avatar creator but also to the VRC devs trying to make these sdks

#

so avatar dynamics (which will let you add semi interactive points to your avatar), avatar OSC integration which is currently in open beta, VRChat's in house dynamic bones, all of those are going to be sdk3 exclusive for customizability

hardy vigil
#

oh i see, so maybe my dream of a portable typing intergration isn't too far off

vale fox
#

sdk2 is too old and too closed to be modified any further, sdk3 has the infrastructure to readily accept these additional features and more

hardy vigil
#

first time making an avatar for a while, and first time ever trying to do it from scratch

vale fox
#

people are doing really cool things right now like syncing outfit toggles to midi controllers and twitch subs

#

so getting some sort of virtual keyboard setup is absolutely possible

hardy vigil
#

oh lemme simplify that.
i just wanna be able to use a keyboard simmilar to those on mute rooms without having to try and mr.mime someone into a portal

vale fox
#

i think you can do that now with some particle toggles and a really complex animation tree

hardy vigil
#

portal šŸ‘ˆ šŸ„ŗšŸ‘ˆ

vale fox
#

other than that if youre in VR you might want to try and wait for avatar dynamics

#

but if you want to use an actual keyboard

#

like i said, talk to the OSC people beacuse they probably have ideas

hardy vigil
#

would be better not to show my neck snapping every time i want to talk šŸ˜‚

vale fox
#

id give you some pointers but i try to avoid programming as much as possible and dont have time to learn about OSC

#

just make your AFK animation toggleable from your menu lol

#

or better yet, a separate AFK animation that makes it look like youre typing away at a keyboard

hardy vigil
#

oh i meant the physical headset

#

irl neck

vale fox
#

i dont take my headset off when i go to my keyboard 0 0

#

thats just me tho

#

kinda built different šŸ˜Ž

hardy vigil
#

i don't have that good coordination

#

mostly still have to look at the keyboard

#

even if it's glancing

anybody know where i can find somebody to rig a model?

dusky bolt
#

Yo, I've been having an issue when making a Viseme. My model already neatly has its vertex groups for the different parts of the mouth. However, the vertex group for the teeth is in a different folder for the face. Meaning I either create a shape key that moves the lips or that moves the teeth. How can I combine both so I create a vertex group that moves both the teeth and lips?

dusky bolt

nevermind figured it out

Is there a way to add images to avatar clothing?

#

Because I wanted to add the femboy flag to my femboy avi

#

I was wondering if anyone could show me how to make an avatar(s)

#

From scratch or an already made avi?

#

Both but it doesn't matter if just one of them

#

Usually for already made avis all thatā€™s missing is dynamic bones an avatar descriptor sometimes and the correct shaders

#

But it all depends each one is different

#

What's the best free avatar creator app or website?

#

I have VRoid

silver adder
#

Ready Player Me is pretty good as well.

neon finch

Thereā€™s a website that has a few free ones itā€™s a totally legit safe one dw

#

So you wonā€™t get banned

#

Well I wanted to make avatars like stormtroopers

#

Oh

#

They probably have some

#

Which website?

#

Iā€™ll take a look

#

ok

@neon finch??

#

Can a child object on an avatar have its own animator?

#

Or are parameters only set on the avatar's own animators?

#

šŸ˜¦ Alas, it appears that only the avatar's own animators get parameters.

#

Was hoping to include an animator on a prefab that can be dropped under an avatar, and have that animate with the avatar's parameters

Just do decals

#

or just change the texture but thats kinda silly

neon finch
#

Idk how to do that

neon finch
#

Go to gimp or some other photo editing software, open the texture you want to edit, find the decal you want to add and open it as a layer, position it to where you want, export it under a different name

Is dynamic bones $20 or am I looking at the wrong thing?

Idk if this can be asked her but it's technically for avatars?

I'm trying to re texture something in substance painter but i can't figure out how to rotate the model. I looked it up and it said control and right mouse click. But that only makes the pen bigger. Ples semb halp

#

The performance rankings also aren't accurate. Some very poor avatars are pretty well optimized, but the performance rankings are calculated based on every feature being active at the same time. Which is not always the case.

neon finch
#

Firstly Idk how to make an image a decal

#

Thereā€™s no vids or anything for it

#

I meant the image thatā€™s the decal you want to add, not a decal as in a computer file. As far as I know, thereā€™s never been a .decal file format

#

Ever

#

Are there any avatars that come with a voice changer?

night terrace
hasty hemlock
#

a voice changer would be a separate app that someone would run their microphone through before it gets to vrchat it's not a characteristic of avatars

silver adder
#

Most people I've seen use Voicemod for voice-changing stuff.

hasty hemlock
#

which for reference is a standalone application not a vrchat mod

silver adder
#

Yeah lol.

#

Figured that wouldn't need to be said since it's a popular program, but still.

neon finch
#

Thereā€™s clownfish too. But thatā€™s not as reliable

Iā€™m just putting something random out there. Every furry needs a middle finger animation (in case of 10 year old haters). Thatā€™s why Iā€™m developing one! My updated avatar will be launched tomorrow

Question, I've been reading the documentation of avatars, and appearently it states that the "show very poor avatar" system on quest may be removed... So, does this mean that it's worthless to try and port over pc avatars?

#

In case you're wondering where I found this: "Systems" - "Avatar performance Ranking System" at "Default performance rank blocking"

young wind
#

Ok I didnā€™t know Iā€™d get so much hate for that. Maybe I wonā€™t flip off a child, but the older aged people. Sorry

#

I meant any haters. Not judt children. Please note Iā€™m a sarcastic person.

No need for expressions, It all comes naturap

#

AAAA

young wind
#

Lol I know what you meant

coarse minnow
#

Well, I won't be able to judge for much longer

#

once quest disables very poor avatars I'm not even going to put effort into it anymore

young wind
#

Good thing my avatar is only ā€œpoorā€. I worked pretty damn hard on it

coarse minnow
#

I'm doing my best, but I have roleplay elements "items", so I can't just delete those to make it poor

#

My poly count is +- 19 989 ish

#

But material slots and mesh renderers make the sdk go "nope:

young wind
#

Maybe try decimating or baking your avatar. It might mess the textures up though.

coarse minnow
#

I already did that, hence the poly count

young wind
#

Oh

coarse minnow
#

The o.g count on pc is 60k

#

Pc version is "poor", (I use some particles for laser beams etc.)

young wind
#

Ok so decimation made some progress at least

coarse minnow
#

It was worthless due to the item count hehe

#

But, I've heard it from plenty people that My avatar doesn't lag
