[somber sequoia]

probably this

[subtle sigil]

I literally Just duplicated the armature

[somber sequoia]

You can go into mesh edit mode, click a vertex, and in the 'Item' part of the 'n' popup sidebar you can see vertex weights, that might help you figure out what's affecting it.
Or just remove the right leg from the left leg's vertex groups and vice-versa.

[glass condor]

I did some messing around, yeah seems like other parts of the leg are messing with it too

[glass condor]

that too, I considered taking it out of the vertex group somehow...

[somber sequoia]

If you end up being a messy weight painter, you may have to go remove stray vertices from other-bone vertex groups. Happens to the best of us 🙂

[indigo compass]

Huh?
In Unity?

[junior void]

Using gradient tool and not noticing youre on the completely wrong bone until after exporting to unity where the model does a drop kick backflip in play mode

Heeell yea

[static cipher]

the bump (awesome edition)

[spark walrus]

the toggles dont work

not even on unity

[junior void]

Ok

[spark walrus]

how do i fix that

😭

[junior void]

Depends. Did you make them?

[spark walrus]

no

wait

wym

like if i made them alone

or

[cursive mason]

can someone help me upload this avatar i dont know what im doing wrong prob bc i have no clue what im doing

dm if you can please

[glass condor]

ok I suck at this weight painting thing, I'm seriously considering just buying weightshaper for 29.99, should I???

[junior void]

Why no

[glass condor]

my brain hurts

[stable igloo]

I added booba physbones to the avatar but only the physbone script moves in playmode, the booba not moving at all, how can I fix it?

[somber sequoia]

I'm pretty sure there isn't a tool on the market that magically gets weight painting right 100% of the time

[lone flax]

Hey uhh everytime I try to auto fix my avatar in unity in sends me here https://unity.com/releases/editor/archive and idk why I installed it thinking I needed it or smth but it still wont work and keeps sending me there

now I'm on unity 6

[somber sequoia]

Do you have Unity 2022.3.22f1?

yeah that's not going to work

[lone flax]

Yea

I was using that before

then it send me to that link

[left gull]

the stuff thats out there that'd work for vrchat standards will likely give you the same results you've currently got (maybe a bit better) which you're then expected to go in and clean up so it'd be a bit of a waste of money to buy since itd be doing the work you've already done and not solving your "issue"

you've just gotta suck it up and clean up your weightpainting a bit more

its confusing at first but once you've got a grasp on it you'll find it'll help alot later on especially if you plan to continue creating models

[somber sequoia]

yeah the proper tool to get 95% there is practice. I'm not sure where the other 5% comes from yet, but I'll let you know when I figure it out.

[lone flax]

Is there a way to fix this?

[somber sequoia]

describe what exactly you're doing?

[lone flax]

When I try to get my avatar uploaded using Vrchat control panel it says I must fix all issues before uploadingbut upot hitting "Auto fix" it sends me to https://unity.com/releases/editor/archive

[somber sequoia]

specifically which autofix?

[lone flax]

I cant remember I'm setting up Unity 2022.3.22f1 with my project

it's loading rn

[somber sequoia]

oh so you weren't using that before? yeah, do this first.

[lone flax]

I think I was, not sure though

I'm downgrading from unity 6

[somber sequoia]

iirc Unity 6 is years old

[glass condor]

So it seems like the vertexes in the two feet are merged together. Is there a way for me to just grab the vertexes and fix them?

[somber sequoia]

mesh edit mode, move things around however you like. If they're actually merged, you can "rip" them with v

[glass condor]

how do I get to mesh edit mode?

[somber sequoia]

click on the mesh, select edit mode from the mode dropdown at the upper left. And watch a basic blender tutorial 🙂

[lone flax]

The problem i needed to auto fix didn't even show up this time but not it says "This avatar does not contain an animator" tbh I havent made an avatar in ages idk what this means T-T

[somber sequoia]

You should probably watch a tutorial also, it'll explain things like doing the rig setup, which would fix that.

[lone flax]

Alright thanks :)

[icy comet]

fixed basically everything but its still telling me to set it as a humanoid rig even though i did that

[lone flax]

It says "project has invalid dependencies" I can't find any videos?

[static cipher]

bump 3

[cunning grove]

Does anyone know how to upload an avatar without VCC

[foggy wraith]

what does this mean, i been getting it like mad crazy on a avi i am trying to upload...

if anyone knows, please help

its also with this

[cursive elbow]

where is the emmision settings in the material properties in poi shader

i cant find it

[foggy wraith]

...

[spark walrus]

I need someone to upload avatars to vrchat for me! I’ll pay for the effort

[foggy wraith]

dm me

[cursive elbow]

u cant even get your own avatar to work dawg

[spark walrus]

💀💀

[foggy wraith]

thats the first for me, it is a avi im helping with someone

[spark walrus]

I need an expert, @dawn mulch is he good or nuh?

[left gull]

fair warning having someone upload directly to your account is against TOS

it also runs the risk of just getting you straight up banned especially since its not even someone you know/can trust

[cursive elbow]

yappatron

[foggy wraith]

i just need help with this error... its the first time i am seeing it

[cursive elbow]

ask chat gpt

[foggy wraith]

yeah... na

[left gull]

are those the only RED errors in console/is there any errors in the SDK upload panel?

[cursive elbow]

why

[spark walrus]

I didn’t know that

[foggy wraith]

yeah

[cursive elbow]

ur missing something

there has to be more red

[left gull]

you could try reloading your SDK or saving your project and re-opening it to see if you get any new errors

[foggy wraith]

tried it, still the same

[left gull]

what SDK version are you using?

[cursive elbow]

sdk got updated yesterdau

yesterday

[foggy wraith]

the latest, 3.7.2

and it does it for all past ones ive tried

[left gull]

even for 3.7.0?

[foggy wraith]

yes

[left gull]

hm

[foggy wraith]

its done that so many times...

[cursive elbow]

ask chat gpt

[left gull]

what have you imported currently?

[foggy wraith]

please stop

[foggy wraith]

just a new tail is all

[left gull]

as in you edited a premade model and re-imported it?

[foggy wraith]

its a prefab

[left gull]

so you've just got the SDK packages and a tail prefab in your project currently? im kinda asking what you've imported already as in everything not just what you've changed since it broke

[foggy wraith]

i also got the avi i wanna use too

[left gull]

ok and is that avatar premade or something you've made yourself?

[foggy wraith]

premade

[left gull]

does the model have any dependencies you might've missed/are outdated?

[foggy wraith]

nope

[cursive elbow]

check missing scripts

[foggy wraith]

none are missing

[cursive elbow]

you are cooked

maybe restart the whole project

idk

start from 0

[left gull]

yeah im at a loss for ideas on what the issue could be if its happening across multiple projects and you're 100% nothings missing,outdated or broken 😞

[foggy wraith]

i already did 3 times

[left gull]

if its an issue that happens even with the raw version of the premade model id contact the creator about it

[foggy wraith]

its just on this new one

[cursive elbow]

anyone here knows photoshop

[spark walrus]

will this rig work in vrc

[left gull]

what? you said "and it does it for all past ones ive tried" have you not tried adding it to a new project yet?

[foggy wraith]

meaning i tried with same project

[left gull]

as long as the bones are named correctly and the model is in a t-pose your rig should work fine

[foggy wraith]

ill just not do it then...

[left gull]

try either dragging the files to a new project or re-importing fresh versions of everything into a new project

[foggy wraith]

ill try... ive done it before, but ok

[cursive elbow]

only people see the impostor thing i believe

it syas impostors there alr

u cant check it

yes

wait no

aaa idkk

if u have diff acc for quest

and for pc then yes

thats what i did

it basically looks like

very pixelated

[static cipher]

bump 4

[somber sequoia]

maybe it says more stuff? This is not enough info to go on

[slow sundial]

I have a problem with a screenshader when i move my head (and other players) the shader just disappears on some angles. It feel like a culling problem but i already made the cube (also tried sphere) 200m in all sizes. Anyone has an idea how to fix this? (heading to bed, i'll check answers in 6 hours)

[short ferry]

So Im working on an avatar with vrcfury, I added gogo loco and merged the animators with avatar manager. My dances just don't do anything now, I have everything set up right however

[sand verge]

For some reason when I rig my FBX to humanoid it removes a vertices right here??

[quasi briar]

You can actually see it by being in-game and clicking on the avatar then theres a button below it to preview the impostor

[sand verge]

This is the same FBX without the humanoid rig

and I know it's not the shader because the actual mesh is effected

[scenic comet]

my av3 menu is bugged with my toggle value, is this an issue with the menu itself or me?

nope its bugged in vrc too

its with me

[arctic ginkgo]

Usually it's an issue with your menu. I would try checking that the parameter is correct and is also in your parameter list, check that you're using the correct parameter and menu for your avatar, and also try changing the parameter from a bool parameter to a different int parameter, and if the value doesn't equal 1, then change it to 1, and then change the parameter back

[scenic comet]

oh wow that works lmaoo

vrc doesnt like bools i guess

[somber sequoia]

there's some weird things with menus still - like it can sometimes get stuck saying you've got a missing parameter when it's actually been deleted but is lingering around in the file

[scenic comet]

thats actually crazy

[scenic comet]

thank you btw

[broken bone]

I had this happen the other day. Real pain

[somber sequoia]

I forgot to bookmark the canny post, and I don't see a way to search for stuff I've upvoted, else I'd share the link

oh I see how

https://feedback.vrchat.com/sdk-bug-reports/p/replaced-submenu-prohibits-uploading

upvote 🙂

[dawn mulch]

I was trying to figure out the ping. Wrong Kodi I guess 😂

[scenic comet]

he can wear his hat now

[static cipher]

hooray, hat wearing

[cursive elbow]

anyone knows this shader or asset

realistic ligh thing

[somber sequoia]

could be any shader that does realistic lighting

[cursive elbow]

no

its like

i didnt catch the thing

but theres a ball

that if u put it in diff positions

the light changes

[somber sequoia]

ok no idea without seeing it then

[unreal pasture]

Its called pcss

[cursive elbow]

ty man love you

[unreal pasture]

🫡

[runic rain]

Anybody got experience with Liltoon Shaders? I'm having an issue with the back face properties

[spark walrus]

why is my physbone having no effect/

?

i move character around and no movement happening

[somber sequoia]

wow that's a lot of draw calls

[spark walrus]

u mean the things in the left hierachie>?

[sand verge]

bump because I can't find a fix

[arctic ginkgo]

does anyone know what kind of stuff gets security checks failed? (outside of self destructing trails/particles)

this avatar doesn't really seem like it should fail security checks

[ornate nebula]

What is issue of back face properties?
I think from the image alone there doesn't appear to be any problem.

[somber sequoia]

not sure I can see what you mean, but it's entirely possible that the avatar is in a different pose than you had it set to

[sand verge]

That wouldn't make sense, because it's removing a part of the mesh completely.

[somber sequoia]

ok, I guess I don't know what you're looking at then

[runic rain]

these two avatars are wearing the same outfit, the one on the left is running liltoon

The one on the right is running Poyomi.
with poyomi i was able to easily remove backfaces and stop the odd coloration in the armpit area of the left

[sand verge]

It's right under the lip, the blue dot is the inside of the mouth

[somber sequoia]

ok I'm not entirely sure without knowing what this should look like, but that was the only real idea I had anyway.

[sand verge]

This is what it should look like, no missing part of the mesh

[somber sequoia]

I mean from the pics I can't tell what is going on at all, I'd want to understand what that section is and what's behind it and what bones or blendshapes influence it.

[dusky quarry]

have you tried reopening your unity project?

[bold bay]

i am in desperate need of help importing my FFXIV character into VRC (need to get it to blender before VRCSDK, and that's not even fucking working).

[plain mural]

how to make avi show emote only when two hands make sign? like bleep=two hands show peace

[spark walrus]

how do i get camera close to character for play mode:?

[somber sequoia]

literally move the camera, it's usually called Main Camera

[spark walrus]

i did, but i thought there is a quick button

to do that

[somber sequoia]

use both GestureRight and GestureLeft conditions in your transitions

[spark walrus]

camera can be far away

[dusky quarry]

you can always switch back to the scene camera, and look at it from there

[ornate nebula]

Alright, Let's do a quick check. First, is the Cull mode in the Base settings set to back?

[spark walrus]

when i go into play mode, i cant select anything

it's like a frozen image

[somber sequoia]

that's normal

[spark walrus]

so how do I test the physbones?

in normal scene mode it doesnt work for me

[somber sequoia]

you move the character in the scene view

and observe the camera (game) view

[runic rain]

yes

[ornate nebula]

OK. Basically, optimized assets should not change unless you make some changes.
The next thing that seems suspicious is the outline item.
Please check if there is a dedicated mask file.

[cinder flicker]

bump

[vapid belfry]

Heya question,

i have a excellent pc and quest avatar i made and uploaded to VRchat
but the SDK says "this avatar cant be used as a fallback

anyone have thios before?

[cinder flicker]

did you only publish to windows? or did you also do it for quest?

[vapid belfry]

yeah both quest and pc

[grizzled lichen]

when not talking, he defaults back to the open mouth [no shape key] when he should have the closed mouth [key 1]

[supple needle]

What does “invalid header” mean when I’m trying to import an Fbx into blender ?

[vapid belfry]

not sure whats up

[ornate nebula]

fmm, that's weird...
I don't have the asset so I can't say more than that, but it's probably an older version of the jacket.
Looking at the shop history, a message was added in June of this year stating that the armpit issue had been fixed, so please check to see if you have the latest version of the asset.

This image used google translation.

[ornate stump]

All viseme slot has to be uniquely assigned. That means you can't reuse blendshape in other viseme slot.

[granite ledge]

Is there a way to make the Nameplace / Chatbox higher over the Avatar?
I have some Avatars where the Chatbox is in the Head/Hair of from the Avatar and so not readable for others.

[grizzled lichen]

it works fine though except for the closed mouth

i've never had a problem with that before

wait nvm

its working now

[ornate stump]

No. It shouldn't work. Reusing viseme blendshape is going to cause viseme overriding each other.

[vapid belfry]

Anyone help with this?
i have my avatar uploaed both Quest and Pc in excellent quality
but the SDK says good and i dont know why since i match all the preformance ranks.

but in vrc it says excellent

its preventing me from selecting it as a fallback

[granite ledge]

do you use maybe VRCFury or something to add something to your avatar?
(if you like merge bones then it will still show in Unity but in VRChat it will show the correct values)

[timber wharf]

good should be still falback-able tho

[vapid belfry]

yeah good should be albe too
and nah not for the quest version its all basic no toggles and nothing

Mesh memory is 3
bones is 75
4000 triangle
1 material with one texture

i have o clue XD

[somber meadow]

100%

Glasses are pretty much universal

[south kraken]

If you unpack a prefab is there a way to get it back in the original prefab later?

[somber meadow]

no, you never should unpack prefabs unless the prefab is telling you to do so

[south kraken]

Okay 👍 just wondering

There's something I need to edit that I literally can't unless I unpack it so, rip

I can either unpack it and understand if I update the fbx model it will break , or fix it in blender and then have to adjust every variant for the changes I've made

[somber meadow]

what do you need to edit

[south kraken]

Have to root two bones for quest optimization

But I can handle it

[supple needle]

How do you retexture something in Blender ?

[ornate stump]

Try looking for "blender texture paint" tutorial.

[runic rain]

I'll double check, I could have sworn i had downloaded the most recent version.

[supple needle]

Trying to follow along with it but my blender just completely froze

When I was moving the model around it was really blurry, too

[fallow fiber]

hello! anyone know why the textures arent showing?

[spark walrus]

Any yall know a good tutorial on avatar proportion scaling in blender? I cant find one.

The legs of my character are too short and I’d like to make them longer

what's the best way to fix the clipping?

it goes through arms, torso, legs

i know u can add colliders, i just want to know which would be the easiest approach

or the best

[snow elm]

if the cape is rigged, constraints may do the job

[spark walrus]

it is rigged

[spark walrus]

gonnac check it out

[stable igloo]

I created clothing toggles for 3 outfits, making sure they are set on/off right but somehow when I enter playmode the default outfit change to another one and I could not toggle the default one at all. I've tried different ways but the result was the same 😭

[spark walrus]

i dont think thats what c onstraints are for

[fallow fiber]

any1?

[spark walrus]

? 🥺

[spark walrus]

can I give these colors?
so i can find them better?

[south kraken]

question, ive always wondered, does it actually matter if you upload an avatar at position 0,0,0 vs like 1,0,2 slightly offset

[south kraken]

scale or move the bones in blenders pose mode and apply as rest pose

adjust mesh accordingly

[somber meadow]

You can have it moved anywhere, VRChat makes a temporary prefab of your avatar and uploads that, then deletes it

[south kraken]

cool!

[spark walrus]

what's the best way to not let the robe clip through other meshes?

[dense raptor]

I'm having viewport issues regarding a hat my Avatar is wearing

This hat does use parent constraitns (When you grab it with the left hand it comes off)

But for whatever reason, its in the viewport of the avatar seems to show it, on closer inspection the viewport of the avatar seems to be way more into hte head then anticipated (its not where i placed it)

Anyone else have an issue where the viewport is shoved into the scoll of your avi? how did ya fix it?

[spark walrus]

isnt that purple coming fromo the hair>?

[dense raptor]

yeah it is

not the dark purple but the lighter purple

[spark walrus]

is the eye position straight forward?

[dense raptor]

yup, let me get a better pic of where i have the viewport

right in between the eyes

[spark walrus]

what is this mesh?

[dense raptor]

that mesh is the hat

[spark walrus]

so hat moves down

[dense raptor]

yeah, but the viewport is also shoved way too into the back of the head as well (like in the secound vid how the hair was in view

wait i didnt send that one

gimmie a sec

[spark walrus]

do u have the model once or twice in ur hyrachie>?

[dense raptor]

once

[spark walrus]

when u look into the mirror, eyue hight as can be seen is correct

head hight too

hat*

something else is going on

[dense raptor]

i believe so, but let me double check

yes, when i look in the mirror, everyhting is in place, the height is correct with the viewport, and the hat is in place

perhaps its somehow is shoved inside the head too far?

[spark walrus]

something is spawning in game double i think

check the hat

if hter eare duplicates

[dense raptor]

the hat is the same. I did place it in the head bone higherarchy and that seemed to solve that issue, but my viewport is still too far back into the body

like when ilook down i see right though my character's mesh

one moment let me see if i can get a clip of that going on

here's a better example

that lavender color is the hair

[spark walrus]

help nooooooooooow !

I bought a non-compatible bunny suit from a Japanese site called BOOTH, but I'm being attacked by the problem of not being able to install it without a compatible avatar!
How can I do something about this !!!!?

[spark walrus]

i think that is normal bc of the view cone

[dense raptor]

so there isnt anything i can do to quite fix this?

[spark walrus]

there are probably ways to look through own mesh

but im no expert, ull have to wait for osmeone to answe this

[spark walrus]

there is]

[dense raptor]

alrightie, thank you so much on your insight! I think I may know the next corse of action to take here ^^

[spark walrus]

u see:>? i see part of the ring too

hey?

u can adapt the suit to any avatar

[dense raptor]

that makes perfect sence!

[spark walrus]

ye

Oh, I didn't tell you what model I was going to install it on.
It's Luce from Fluffy's.
I want to install a special bunny suit for YuNa at the same time.

[spark walrus]

ur issue is the same, ur chest pops out more maybe

so it is visible like that

[dense raptor]

yeah, when you put it like that, it makes sence, I'm going to messaround with the Head chop component to see if i can do anything about it^^ but knowing its a mesh thing helps tons

Again tysm for your insight!

[spark walrus]

there is probably a setting to disable seeing ur own mesh

might suit u best

[flint current]

my looks like this in normal mode but in playmode and ingame it looks like a stick

how would i fix this?

[spark walrus]

how do i test player interactive physbones?

[junior void]

There is an animation shrinking the arm. Its often used to avoid clipping through clothing. You have to find the animation doing this and either get rid of it or flip it's state or update it's conditions so it only does this when really needed

[flint current]

ohh

damn okay

thanks, i have no idea how i would find the correct one though lol

[junior void]

Decimate. If you have multiple playable layers, start by removing those to see which one make it go away. Then in that layer, set the layer weights to 0 and see which one once more makes it go away. You'll likely only have 2-4 animations to check after you found which exact layer does this

[flint current]

ohh like fx layers?

[spark walrus]

how do i avoid clipping through the robe?

my arms move through it

[junior void]

fx is one of the possible playable layers, yes

[spark walrus]

and legs

the best wayt

[simple ocean]

does anyone know why my mesh completely disappears in my my project when i enter playmode? infact everything disappears....

[spark walrus]

video

[floral plinth]

Hello, I was wondering why some of my avatars are not showing up in some avatars search world ! :))

[junior void]

Most likely because the interval at which new entries to the api are queried can vary. Best ask the owner of said worlds

[floral plinth]

Thank you so much ! I’ll definitely do that.

[hard turtle]

I wanna sell this model ive been working on in blender for a while for like a 10er on gumroad, is there anything i should be careful of?

[spark walrus]

my colliders arent working i vrc but in unity, why?

[idle relic]

does anyone know how to fix this issue?

[subtle sigil]

My avatar fingers keep closing on their own, help?

[junior void]

On your avatar root is the avatar descriptor component. You will see the viseme part where it has a slot - drag your face mesh into that. If your head is attached to the body, body is fine as well

[junior void]

The only advice i have for you is to think like a salesman when you put it up. Make sure you are transparent in terms of what you are sellin.

[spark walrus]

i put collision on arms but no effect in game

the collider works in unity, but in vrchat I see no effect,. I put the collider spheres on my arms,.

hope someone knows whats going on

[spark walrus]

it only works if movements r super slow

[subtle sigil]

My avatar fingers keep closing on their own, help? 😭

[frigid sun]

How do I add a chair? All the videos I can find are several years out of date, and even when I do find a way, if I try it again, it doesn't work. I also want it to be on a toggle, but that also always breaks it

[night ember]

the box collider needs to be enabled by default

[radiant bay]

How do I fix this?

[ornate stump]

Reduce texture size.

[radiant bay]

Do you have a pointer on how I should do that? I have been struggling with it

[ornate stump]

Inspect texture files that you're using, then reduce Max Size down.

[radiant bay]

Honestly i don't know which one I am to reduce here

[ornate stump]

Everything didn't hurt either.

[radiant bay]

I am to reduce everything you mean?

[ornate stump]

At least should be what you're using. But since you had no idea what you're using then reduce everything.

[radiant bay]

Okie dokie. so more pointer here, please

[long sierra]

How would I use a texture swap on an avatar to make a mesh invisible? :0

[ornate stump]

As I mentioned before: reduce Max Size.

[ornate stump]

You have to switch materials.

[radiant bay]

Oh! yeah, max size!

[long sierra]

I know, but I tried it and it made it translucent instead of invisible

[ornate stump]

How is it actually look like?

[radiant bay]

Which is the most preferred for quest?

[long sierra]

I redid it with individual skinned meshes

[ornate stump]

Just down enough to fit the limit.

[radiant bay]

Aye! Thanks

[long sierra]

but basically the mesh was still visible, but it was mostly transparent like a ghost, you could see through it and it was hard to notice unless it was in front of something nearly white

[wispy spear]

Try 1k-500

[ornate stump]

Use Cutout preset and set alpha to zero instead.

[subtle sigil]

i made a new animation but the avatar stays like this

curled up

and everytime i go back and forth she curls up as well

[radiant bay]

Where do I find that?

[ornate stump]

Sorry I replied to a wrong person.

[ornate stump]

Use Cutout preset and set alpha to zero instead.

[radiant bay]

oh okay

[long sierra]

Material preset? :0

Like instead of default?

[ornate stump]

Render preset.

[ornate stump]

That's where you select Opaque, Cutout, Transparent, etc.

[long sierra]

ohh

[radiant bay]

Still nothing changed.

[ornate stump]

You have to build it to update the size.

[radiant bay]

Ahh kk

Nothing changed and I did reduce the textures to 512

[junior void]

Makes me think you changed texture sizes of files the avi does not actually use

[radiant bay]

Actually it was for pc and i used the VRCQuestTools to reduce it's component and all. could that have been the problem?

[wispy spear]

Do you have them set to "none" or normal

[radiant bay]

Yes! It's all on normal

[wispy spear]

Hmm bilinear or trilinear??

[ornate stump]

Also 700k polygons will make the file huge.

[radiant bay]

And how do I reduce that also?

[ornate stump]

You could simply delete objects that aren't necessary on your avatar.

Deleting object will also eliminate unused texture.

[radiant bay]

Aye!

[somber sequoia]

you can use this shader: https://github.com/netri/Neitri-Unity-Shaders/blob/master/Discard.shader

[subtle sigil]

if i move a keyframe in the animation the model curls up

even if i don't have any keyframes

[broken bone]

There shoud be a "T-pose FX" controller in the default SDK stuff. Replace your FX controller with it, press play, and it will return to T-pose. To keep it that way, drag your avatar from the scene hierarchy into the library to create a new prefab, then get out of play mode and drag the new prefab into your scene. Viola, it's now back in T pose. Replace the T-pose FX controller with your original one and you're done. You can delete the old curled up one once this is done.

To avoid this in the future, don't ever make animations on your original avatar. Make a duplicate, and create the animations on that.

Oh I guess the T-pose is part of Avatars3.0Manager, not the default SDK, so you might need to install that to the project first

[subtle sigil]

this?

[broken bone]

The one I have was just called "TPose" but I think that one should work too

[spark walrus]

How do I fix

[ornate stump]

Ignore it then see what's wrong in unity.

[spark walrus]

Okey. I clicked ignore. I have never had this problem so idk how to fix xD

[ornate stump]

If you just migrated it's usually caused by outdated packages.

[supple needle]

What does “invalid header” mean when trying to import an fbx in blender

[long sierra]

How do I apply the shader? I can't drag it into the shader dropdown box

[somber sequoia]

drop it into your project somewhere, it'll compile, and then you can choose it from a material.

[long sierra]

Do I have to compile it manually?

[somber sequoia]

those were complete instructions 🙂

[long sierra]

nvm, I found it

I thought it would show the project name or just have the filename on the dropdown list, I thought it'd only show the creator's name if I imported it as a unity package

[somber sequoia]

if you don't read shader code, this shader basically tells the GPU "dont' render this pixel" for every pixel.

[long sierra]

sounds resource intensive

[somber sequoia]

no, those are determined by the top line in the shader

[long sierra]

if it does it individually per pixel

[somber sequoia]

er, this is how shaders work

[ornate stump]

Shaders are always be like that.

[long sierra]

Apologies for my ignorance

[somber sequoia]

the rest of them just then have to decide what color to make the thing, and that can get complex

[long sierra]

I think I forgot to set it as opaque again

yep, I did x'D

one of my materials is still showing as a cutout after I set it back to opaque tho O_o

And no, the normals aren't inverted, I checked in Blender

[spring ember]

when i wanna edit the view position, the sphere doesnt show up so i have to work around and put a sphere, copy the position, and put it in the view position info. is there a way i could've accidentally disabled the view position sphere from showing up?

[long sierra]

ohhh, the normals WERE inverted except backface culling was on in Blender so I couldn't see it

[somber sequoia]

use the "face orientation" mode in blender to check this stuff, it's so easy

[broken bone]

Yes, make sure this is enabled

[spring ember]

you're so appreciated

[subtle sigil]

i tried following that, i'm trying to add idle animations but for some reason when i move forwards or backwards ingame, the model goes up and down

[spark walrus]

I do not know how to fix these errors...

[somber sequoia]

are those the only three? If not, post the first few, at the top

[left wharf]

i found this text in the store page "※こちらUnityPackageの中身を全部インポートしてしまうとエラーが出てしまうため、Shaderのみインポートしてください。". it means "Note: importing all files in UnityPackage will be error, so please import ONLY shaders."
i wish this info helps you

[glass valley]

oooooooooh okay so it only needs the shaders imported

[left wharf]

so maybe you need to import these:

1. Modular Avatar
2. lilToon
3. shader files in 円形ゲージシェーダー

[glass valley]

modular avatar? interesting

okie dokie i am gonna try it with the nova beast later to see if that works

[lone flax]

It doesn't say anything else

[somber sequoia]

ah, definitely nothing to go on then

[spark walrus]

I have ||Wholesome mod|| installed via repo on Creator Companion and within my project, it is not appearing...

[ornate stump]

What are you referring to?

[spark walrus]

Wholesome SPS package

[ornate stump]

Not a "mod" technically.

[spark walrus]

oh sorry xP i meant package xD

[hard turtle]

so dont worry too much about being wholey original? i mean all i did was take something i like as inspiration and kinda just took it from there into a bunch of random directions, this is only my second time making a full from scratch model and trying to distribute it

[junior void]

The thing is: What is original these days anymore? There are dragon avis, wolf ones, foxes - anything in nature already exists and even past that, take the rexouium for example, which is basically a fox with feathers, so lets just say its a cross species. Theres nothing that doesnt already exist. You should definitely add your own ideas to it, but a "whole new, never before seen species" is hard to achieve as youll find certain things on other models no matter what

[subtle sigil]

how can i make an idle animation?

[hard turtle]

thats why trying to make something original has driven me up the wall

i just took a wicker , something i like a few other things as irl inspiration such as dears and kobodals/derg, and juust sorta slapped it all together

[feral breach]

hello guys :3
i want to reduce the textures of an avatar i compressed for quest. but i cannot upload it cuz its too big still.
How and where can i reduce the materials? im confused where the avatar materials are from my second scene i made, i followed a tutorial to make it compatible to both platforms but now im lost

i already changed the texture size limits to 512x512

[ornate stump]

Those material likely are from animation in FX layer.

[feral breach]

sorry, where can i find that ?

[ornate stump]

FX layer in avatar descriptor. It has material references if your avatar had toggle that switch material.

[feral breach]

u mean something like that?

[junior void]

I am also making an avatar and it will have feathers like the rex. I will be crediting the inspirational source of course. As long as you're not trying to hide it or tell people lies or even steal assets such as horns or body parts and sell it as your own, you should be fine.

[radiant bay]

Help!

[junior void]

I don't see whats wrong with that. You probably have twist bones, which are children of the lower arm. I do too, I just name them something else so i dont get this warning

If it works, this is fine to ignore

[fallow fiber]

is it possible to fix the weird tears and blush etc things on the quest version of avatars?

[junior void]

Since quest does not support transparency, your best bet is to take this to blender and cut out the tear shape so theres no need to hide anything of that plane

[radiant bay]

Sorry, I still don't quite follow. Are you saying I rename? And I hit upload and it failed

[hard turtle]

its all made from scratch

[junior void]

I am saying try and see if the avatar works like this. Likely you can just ignore this warning. Show what errors you get in the console when trying to upload

[sharp osprey]

i want to add a tf2 sentry gun to my avatar, but i have no clue how to make a world constraint properly. is there a tutorial that i can reference? (one that uses VRC constraints and not unity's)

[junior void]

I hope youre also not uploading from the rigging screen. If you are, you cant. Same if youre editing a prefab. You must be in scene view

[radiant bay]

Got it all figured out, thanks

[prime escarp]

Because we actually don't have all public avatars. Just the ones for which people have sent us the IDs for. That can happen over time by people wearing them around people who might log the IDs and submit them eventually, but the better way is just to submit them directly yourself so they can be added 🙂

how do i get around this?

[quick path]

Do anyone know ehy the eyes doing this?

[somber sequoia]

what is "this" exactly?

[lone flax]

epic embed fail

[slow sundial]

I have a problem with a screenshader when i move my head (and other players) the shader just disappears on some angles. It feel like a culling problem but i already made the cube (also tried sphere) 200m in all sizes. Anyone has an idea how to fix this?

[prisma sedge]

Check any physbones settings that effect the head

[somber sequoia]

I think you have to make your bounding box a little bigger for this - 200m is probably not needed, but probably just under the VeryPoor limit of 5m

[quick path]

There's for left and right eyes but it have no physbone scripts should affect it
Blender as well when I move the amature it stay still instead of bouncing out

[somber sequoia]

The eye bones are direct descendants of the head, right?

[slow sundial]

how can i do so? Its a mesh renderer so i gueeesss boundin should be the same as the transformsize...?

[somber sequoia]

Yeah that's my assumption, been a while since I tried this

oh, rather

I see what you mean. Let me find where I last did a thing like this

hmm yeah if it's not a skinned mesh renderer it has no bounding box. I think what I did was make the bounding box for the body mesh be overly big in order to not have the culling happen when the screenspace object got scaled

[subtle sigil]

How can i make an idle animation? Anything i try Just breaks the model

[quick path]

Yes it is
Still trying to figure how to fix this

[lusty cloud]

how do i get permission?

[somber sequoia]

?upload

[flat musk]

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.

Source: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/frequently-asked-questions

[lusty cloud]

ah i see thank you

[slow sundial]

well but tbats an ida. ill try it on a skinne cube next, tyy!

[somber sequoia]

yeah I didn't try it on a skinned mesh renderer

[quick path]

Apparently it only happened whenever I look up, jump only
In mmd world, normal walking its still ok

[supple bone]

so uh its not letting me build to windows any ideas?

[prisma sedge]

What? Never seen that before. Try reinstalling unity

[radiant bay]

When one have this type of error, what is to be done?

[junior void]

The first one i told you about alteady, the second one can be handled in the animator

You should set write defaults to whatever the avi originally came with

[radiant bay]

I don't quite understand what you're telling me to do

[somber sequoia]

that's not where you do either of those things. the first one you probably have to fix in Blender or similar, if it's actually a problem. test in game, and if it moves fine, ignore it.

[radiant bay]

I think the issue is with the second one

And that's what i can't locate

Any help on how to fix that?

[cursive elbow]

can anyone help me

it says i have to fix something

but its not as usual

the issues are not listed here

[somber sequoia]

well you should have all WD on or all WD off unless you really know what you're doing for whatever special case you have. You'd have to go figure out which animations are not like the others and assess why.

[feral breach]

what does missing credentials mean?

[junior void]

Maybe, but i find this more sus

Import warnings are often not good

[subtle sigil]

everytime i add a new animation and just move the timeline, the model scrunches over and when i upload it to the game, the legs are all broken

[junior void]

The write defaults is something to do with animations in your animators.

[static cipher]

bump 5: return of the sith

[radiant bay]

This is what i have in my animator

[junior void]

Not this one

In your playable layers

Still i urge you to have a look at fbx import warnings

[radiant bay]

Let me check that and send it

[subtle sigil]

damn

[junior void]

There shouldnt be that many but if youre not having problems with the meshes, you should be fine

[radiant bay]

Pointer to this?

[pure phoenix]

Can anyone with knowledge of texturizing please please dm me, i need alternatives to substance painter that doesn't tank my laptop

[junior void]

On your avatar root inside the avatar descriptor, rather towards the middle of it. Its the gesture, additive, fx layers. Wherever you have something assigned

[radiant bay]

Yes, I can see it

[junior void]

Found it?

All your gogo ones use wd on, so you wont need to look into those

Its likely fx or the index gesture layer

Double click either, itll open the animator state machine. When you look through state layers there, youll see animations inside.

yeah

look at this

[junior void]

Unlikely from just now

[cursive elbow]

validations dont show

[cursive elbow]

its the same one over and over again

[junior void]

Try rebooting unity, relogging as well

[cursive elbow]

its not gonna work

i alr tried

[junior void]

Its complaining about state machine stuff, so do you have any playable layers assigned?

[cursive elbow]

wdym

playable layers

[junior void]

In your avatar descriptor...

[junior void]

What if you unassign them

[cursive elbow]

it works now

wtf

but then i dont have gesture or fx

[junior void]

Try with only one, then the other

Do both cause this or one of them

[cursive elbow]

its the fx

the fx doesnt work

when i put it

[junior void]

Click the animations, not the transitions

[cursive elbow]

its just goes back to what it was

[junior void]

Ok, id duplicate the fx

Then from the dupe, delete the last animation layer

I assume this is a new issue, so its gotta be something last worked on

[cursive elbow]

vrcfury

thing

i added a toggle

then it was like this

i removed the toggle and its still the same

[junior void]

It aint that then

Still, just try removing things from the state machine in fx until its good to narrow it down

Once you know which one it is, you can probably fix it in the original fx or just remake one layer rather than the whole fx

[radiant bay]

Do I have to on all the write default?

[modern scaffold]

poiyomi rim lighting looks like this in vrchat but this in unity. ive made a new material but its still not working

[junior void]

Seeing as your gogo uses wd on, its likely a good idea to go with that, yes

[radiant bay]

So, ON all WD, yes?

[somber sequoia]

If you don't know the answer to this it's best to go all on, yes.

[junior void]

Yes

[radiant bay]

Aye! Just did that, then i go back to my sdk?

[junior void]

Remember you had two playable layers

Check the other for good measure if you still get that msg

If its gone, youre gucci

[umbral talon]

hi i have a friend that have this issue with his avatar, he putted to it a pair of trousers and when he move, the top part break, which is the issue and how to fix?

[somber sequoia]

looks like awful weight painting

[junior void]

It could be, but also check fbx import warnings

[oak hound]

would anyone help me translate the materials in have in blender

unto unity?

[radiant bay]

The Gesture and then the FX, correct?

[oak hound]

i have a BSDF shader node on blender and i set up the shader for unity but the results are not going well

[somber sequoia]

What kind of materials though? Standard PBR with textures, or are you doing procedural stuff?

[junior void]

One vertice has no weight, you may find a triangle being pulled to the world center. Thats that, but the rest is bad weights

[modern scaffold]

?

[umbral talon]

how i adjust it? i am already in blender,

[oak hound]

standard pbr, but I can't understand the reason why isnt working, somewhere along the lines seems to be an issue with UV's but can't really tell at this point

[umbral talon]

(i have experience in putiing weight paint in new models but not in existing one)

[somber sequoia]

it's no real difference - select a bone, rotate it, watch how the mesh moves (or doesn't), weight paint it to correct incorrect movements

[junior void]

Id recommend an addon for blender called robust weight transfer.

Itll enable you to copy weights from the base body

[somber sequoia]

agreed - it's great, though it doesn't mean you don't have to correct what it does

[junior void]

True

It works best for tight clothing like socks and tights, but still not perfect

[junior void]

Id love to actually see what you mean

[oak hound]

yeah sorry was trying to get the screenshots

and is not a very complicated set up

but for whatever reason is not translating

[somber sequoia]

In Blender, check your mesh object, make sure the active UV map is the first one in the list

[junior void]

^

Also, standard shader is quite dark

This is one reason why i prefer poiyomi

[spark walrus]

how do i import gun assets from pc to android

and i dont have problems with shaders and textures

more like how do i make the quest version recognize the pc menu

that i imported to the quest

version

[somber sequoia]

recognize? you can just use the same menu files really

[spark walrus]

not really

because the quest version

has different

folders

than the pc

one

[oak hound]

im probably just gonna try re-creating from scratch, im noticing 2 issues

[somber sequoia]

I'm not sure what you're trying to do then

[modern scaffold]

dw guys ill wait its fine 🤪

[spark walrus]

import the anim assets and models of the gun

guns*

in the quest version

and make them work there

[spark walrus]

thats what im trying to do

[oak hound]

in blender is recognising the uvs as separate

for each mesh

[somber sequoia]

are you talking about menus or animations or what here?

[oak hound]

but in unity is blending them

[spark walrus]

menus animations of shooting and models itself

basicaally the whole pc gun package

just

with lower

textures

and shaders

so quest

doesnt have an aneurysm

[somber sequoia]

Each mesh object has its own UV sets. In Unity you usually just have access to them as a list, in Blender you get names. It really depends on how you setup the textures as to what goes where

If each object has the same named UV maps in Blender, and you put them in the same order, then in Unity they'll likely be treated properly

[spark walrus]

so what do i do?

[somber sequoia]

I tend to combine my objects into one and merge all these together.

[oak hound]

then im as confused as ever, everything is set properly in blender, but unity isnt treating it the same. I'm pretty noobish since i havent touched a game engine since UE4 so I cant honestly pinpoint where the problem is

[somber sequoia]

without seeing what actual assets you're working with I have no idea what to tell you here, sorry

[spark walrus]

hi

[spark walrus]

il take a screenshot of the files

[somber sequoia]

tjat

[somber sequoia]

oops. Anyway that isnt' really going to help

[spark walrus]

well shit then

i put collider sphere around my arms, yet it still moves through clothes

in game

[junior void]

Ive once had a similar issue where i had to delete uv maps from objects that are unused on said objects - regardless of the order it would use the wrong one

why is the collisder not working in vrchat?

[somber sequoia]

IK overrides things like this, colliders on your arms can be used to move other objects like clothing in response to arm movements, but it won't prevent you from moving your actual arm in a way that happens to go through other mesh

[modern scaffold]

am i fucking shadowbanned or something

[junior void]

No seal

[somber sequoia]

no it's more that nobody has an answer for you

[junior void]

We just dont know

[spark walrus]

it should work just like in the video

but in vrchat, the colider barely works,, i hav e to move the arm very slowly

to hjave any collision effect

how do i constrain an object to the world in vrchat so when my avatar moves the object stays

[spark walrus]

good question, i also wanna know

[twin raft]

use vrc constraints

[subtle sigil]

how can i make an idle animation?

[somber sequoia]

what do you mean, it's just any animation you want?

[subtle sigil]

yeah, i want to make an animation that plays all the time

[somber sequoia]

make the animation, put it in an animation layer, enable the layer. That's really it

[subtle sigil]

what's an animation layer 👀

this?

[somber sequoia]

one of the items in the "layers" list in the animator itself - those, despite being called layers, are animation controllerse

[junior void]

Maybe dont use additive

[subtle sigil]

this?

[somber sequoia]

Yes, that's the list of layers in whatever animation controller you selected

[subtle sigil]

now what 😭

[somber sequoia]

now you learn how the Unity animation system works

[subtle sigil]

i've been trying to for the past 2 days

that's why i joined here

[spark walrus]

does anyone apart from kazin know how to import the gun assets,model,animations from the pc version of my avi to the quest version even if the folders are differently placed?

[somber sequoia]

haha

[spark walrus]

this

[somber sequoia]

Unfortunately, unless someone know exactly which assets you mean, you're not going to get a great answer to such a vague question

[spark walrus]

you did not want screenshot of assets tf ya mean

[somber sequoia]

and "import" is probably not what you're actually looking to do here

[spark walrus]

no collision happening

why

?

[somber sequoia]

yeah because a screenshot isn't going to be very useful

[spark walrus]

how is not

its literally a list of all the assets

that are there

the hell?

i need some hel pls

[mossy ridge]

y'all where did the gesture layer go

[subtle sigil]

when i put the animation i made on base locomotion ingame the animation doesn't play and i sink into the ground

[somber sequoia]

this happens when your avatar is not humanoid

[spark walrus]

Does anyone know how to make an object show up on quest side because it's only showing on PC side and not quest?

The legs, ears what

[subtle sigil]

eyes

[junior void]

Eyeballs via bones or blendshapes

if i use vr - movements works by controllers, in desctop mode all freezed in t pose
i ve tried almost everything

[spark walrus]

i testerd it in unity play mode

[somber sequoia]

I'm 100% sure I could figure it out if I actually dug into the project and debugged it, but I'm not doing that

[spark walrus]

physbones may not work with fast movements

[junior void]

You likely have errors in your console then, have a look

[spark walrus]

i mean colliders

[spark walrus]

Parameters list? Oh I see

[subtle sigil]

the blendshape just stays on the last key and i'm inside the floor again

[somber sequoia]

Usually it's that the right parameter isn't being set on the quest one

[subtle sigil]

on this position

[junior void]

When you animate in unity, you should do so on an avatar dupe or click the preview button so the model moves out of this pose

[spark walrus]

so yhesterday there was a girl asking here, how to not see ur own mesh

[subtle sigil]

alr alr, but the animation still doesn't work

[spark walrus]

she positioned the eye view correctly

[subtle sigil]

nvm it does work

[spark walrus]

is there away to not see ur own mesh? like making it invisible to urself but not to others?

[subtle sigil]

@junior void tysm you helped me a lot

[spark walrus]

I see my own ring

[somber sequoia]

you could use the IsLocal parameter in the animator, sure

[spark walrus]

ok

what does islocal mean?

[junior void]

Local = only you, the player

[somber sequoia]

may I direct you to VRChats docs on animator parameters?

[spark walrus]

ok

[static cipher]

It basically is saying, "Oh, is this the player rendering themself? Yes? It means IsLocal is true. Is it someone else rendering the player? Yes? It means IsLocal is false.

[spark walrus]

then local is wrong

i dont want to see my own mesh in front of me

have tyo disable ti

[junior void]

Bed time for me. Bye chat

[static cipher]

gn zero

[static cipher]

Yep, basically there's a way for you to make it so that when IsLocal is true, it hides your avatar.

[spark walrus]

gn

[spark walrus]

where?

[somber sequoia]

seriously?

https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/animator-parameters/

I strongly encourage everyone to read this site, and all the rest of the docs 🙂

[spark walrus]

too much

[somber sequoia]

haha

[wanton cedar]

why does the mesh do this? (light parts) Nothing is weirdly placed so i dont get why theres light spots. Ive tried all of the smoothing options

[static cipher]

Mate, it's sometimes a lil hard to find the docs from nothing. Plus, some people aren't really good at learning from just a wall of text.

[spark walrus]

https://tenor.com/begg5.gif

[somber sequoia]

Probably reset normals - that's what's going on there

[wanton cedar]

How do I do that?

[somber sequoia]

there are also lots of tutorial videos, I didn't suggest reading only these and doing nothing else

[somber sequoia]

Good to know, thanks.

[spark walrus]

u said the entire website

[wanton cedar]

That didnt help

[idle relic]

the only error that keeps popping up is this

[wanton cedar]

Thats what I did

and I even checked to see which way the normals were facing

[static cipher]

Oh, that's strange

uhh- could be how the points are connected? Don't know if that'd be the problem but that's MY best guess

[wanton cedar]

Yeah the only way i could get rid of it was dissolving the points, but then that fucks the shape up

Yeah no the points were fine

i wonder if it will be noticeable in unity

[static cipher]

Hmm- Maybe if you disconnect the points and reconnect them in a different way? Like on the inside there, it has the lines clipping through the face, meaning that it could cause issues with that.

[spark walrus]

choose face

[wanton cedar]

it had lines clipping?

[idle relic]

i did

[static cipher]

In the first image, the line on the right side going from the middle right to the top right corner

[spark walrus]

put it in slot for lipsync in ur vrc descriptor

[spark walrus]

.

[wanton cedar]

those are bones

[static cipher]

ohhhhh-

[idle relic]

i did

[static cipher]

then i am out of ideas as to why it's doing that

wait idea

[wanton cedar]

hm?

[static cipher]

have you removed the light from your scene?

[spark walrus]

screenshot it

[idle relic]

i put it there or the body then the error doesnt pop up anymore but then wehen i upload it it says avatar validation failed and gives me the same error

[wanton cedar]

I dont have one

[spark walrus]

weird

[static cipher]

ah, then i am stumped as to what the issue could be...

[spark walrus]

does anyone here have avatar asset experience?

[wanton cedar]

ugly ah spots

[spark walrus]

is only head right? no face mesh, it is head? @idle relic

[junior void]

I will repeat myself: add the face there and then loook at the console

Console is not upload screen

[spark walrus]

click select

sometimes it directs u to a mesh

shows u where it has issue

[idle relic]

i did i will show u

[idle relic]

i did it takes me to nothing

[spark walrus]

make sure there are no dupklicates

maybe u seolected duplicate head

reassign

delete lipsync and refill it

dropping ur mesh into the slot again

[junior void]

It should highlight the face object

I think i know the issue though

If im right, you should find warnings on the fbx import screen of the avatar fbx

[static cipher]

Anyways, does anyone have any clue what's going on with my model not animating the arms correctly despite having all the stuff in both the Action and FX Layers? I can attach images of the insides of my animation layers and the animations that it runs if needed.

[spark walrus]

does anyone know how to import gun assets

from pc to quest

like animations

models

[idle relic]

i click select and it doesnt work

[junior void]

See the rest of my msg

[wanton cedar]

Reset vectors fixed it

[static cipher]

awesome!

[wanton cedar]

bro hid

[muted spire]

uhh i think i may be acceding mesh and material count

[wanton cedar]

why so many meshes... why didnt you just combine it all

[light charm]

you need to combine the meshes in blender, otherwise you may get issues in vrchat such as certain parts of the body disappearing

[static cipher]

hot tip, the word is exceeding

[spark walrus]

delete lipsyn, put mesh into slot again

[idle relic]

im sorry idk what you mean

[junior void]

In your files at the bottom, somewhere in there is an fbx that is your avatar. Find it, click on it, then see the inspector window inside which you shall click "rig". Screenshot whats shown there

[idle relic]

delete lip sync in the avatar descriptor

[spark walrus]

yes

remove mesh from slot

and search for the proper face mesh, put in again

[junior void]

Wont help if im right

[spark walrus]

I see

[junior void]

Im 80% sure i know

Just need to confirm

[idle relic]

i made this avatar and added the head and body in unity though

i dont think i have an fbx

this is the stuff i added

[junior void]

Lets see the hierarchy of your avatar in the scene then

[junior void]

You added an object called head on the viseme part

But its not part of your avatar

[idle relic]

i added that in the armature

[junior void]

I assume under neck bone

[idle relic]

yes under neck

[junior void]

Try renaming the head to face

[idle relic]

someone told me to do this "Apply Scalings: FBX All and Uncheck "Add Leaf Bones"" but idk where to find that

ok ill try that

[junior void]

Those are export options in blender

[idle relic]

ok ya i figured

[junior void]

Also, you didnt have to put the head on neck

The head is just the mesh

The armature for the head is included in the body armature

At least last time i checked

[idle relic]

so then wehre would i put it ?

and i renamed it to face and the upload didnt work still

[junior void]

🤔

What does the console say?

[idle relic]

the same exact thing

[junior void]

Not the upload screen

[idle relic]

the console yes

[junior void]

The console

[idle relic]

its the same thing just avatar validation failed face mesh is not specified

[junior void]

Can you please screenshot the console

[idle relic]

i fixed it oh my gosh

[clear delta]

heyo! so I have an issue with my avatar currently, I try to play one of my animations and it works 100% fine on my end but my friends cant see some elements moving. is there a way to animate it so it isnt jus local?

[broken grail]

How did you fix it?

[clear delta]

it is synced on the parameters btw

[radiant bay]

I got back to it. This are the errors I am getting even after I have ON the WD

@junior void

[clear delta]

anbody know how to make legs not be stiff in an animation?

[cunning spindle]

Is it possible to animate lipsync with multiple mouth models

The model I'm using to make the avatar came with multiple

[spark walrus]

so what was the mistake?

[left gull]

wdym by multiple mouths?

[idle relic]

tbh idk i just was playing with everything i was renaming the head and body and it eventually worked once i kept trying over and over again

[spark walrus]

i hate when it isnt clear to me

makes u relieved but disappoitnmed at the same time

[cunning spindle]

@left gull

[left gull]

you could set it up so that the extra mouths go over the base mouth via blendshapes

[cunning spindle]

How

[coral kelp]

For people that make avatars does anyone use cats plug-in in the new blender for their avatar?

[static cipher]

bump 1

[somber sequoia]

search in here, we've posted links to the new version a whole bunch.

but to actually answer your question: no, I don't use it 🙂

[cunning spindle]

Also how do I make my avatar squint and stuff

[static cipher]

Best way to do this is blendshapes to my knowledge. Basically you can look up how to do blendshapes for VRChat online for some tutorials with this kind of thing

[cunning spindle]

How do I make a blendshape tho

[static cipher]

uh- here's a good tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtJ1Dbv-XUA

[cunning spindle]

Because all the mouth models are seperate

[static cipher]

oh- that's a strange way of having it, i got no clue how to do that then

[clear delta]

okay, anybody know how to not make animations local when sync is ALREADY activated?

[cunning spindle]

Yeah because nintendo

[static cipher]

ah yeah nintendo be weird sometimes

[cunning spindle]

(They're ripped straight from the files of splatoon 2 lel)

[dense tree]

I'm looking for anyone who can help with making a avi

[somber sequoia]

Yes, people in here can, feel free to ask questions.

[dense tree]

ok looking for a commison

[left gull]

you'd keep the normal close mouth as you base mouth then for each mouth,blink w/e your wanting to do with the multiple meshes you'd created a new blendshape by just slightly moving the mesh infront/ontop of the old one

[left gull]

dont take any DMs from users about that in here

[dense tree]

?

[left gull]

go to VRCTraders in #1204490664637890580 you'll only get scam DMs here

[somber sequoia]

I really like this shark, it's quite well done given the limitations

[dense tree]

oh ok

[left gull]

alot of vulthra's stuff is pretty awesome to work with

especially for 2d faces

[somber sequoia]

Nice, I've only seen it in game, haven't looked in-depth

[cunning spindle]

Would y negative like 1 work

[left gull]

it'd just need to be slightly over the mouth you want it to be an almost tight fit so that it doesnt look weird (not too far off the base mouth and not too close that they merge with eachother)

this is something you'd need to do in blender and in edit mode

[cunning spindle]

K

I got blender open rn

[cunning spindle]

Would behind work?

[spark walrus]

can someone help me with uploading avatars? i feel like googling it will lead to me being a dumbdumb and misunderstanding. i know you need files and unity, but thats it

i think i might have the files part down but idkkkkkkkk

[cunning spindle]

Like storing it behind

[spark walrus]

also ping me if u respond bc i will not be checking back regularly

[somber sequoia]

Sure but do you have something more specific?

[spark walrus]

wdym?

i need help uploading an avi and i have no idea how to do it, all i know is i might have the files

[cunning spindle]

How do I make a blendshape in blender

[clear delta]

okay.... is ANYBODY able to figure this out? i keep getting overlooked here guys! been asking for the past few hours

[left gull]

yeah kinda, this is how i do it for nintendo characters atleast

[cunning spindle]

Ok

So I make one for every expression?

[left gull]

yep!

[cunning spindle]

Alr

[left gull]

you can make full faces too if the parts are seperated enough (AC characters have their eyes and mouth seperated from the rest of their faces not sure if its like that for splatoon stuff)

[cunning spindle]

How do I scale

[cunning spindle]

It is

[somber sequoia]

oh so you need a beginning tutorial then? This one is good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSwMz4WcajQ

[cunning spindle]

But my pearl model only came with one eye mask
