[lilac musk]

You just make a new 'Toggle Control' in your expression menu somewhere and set the 'VRCEmote' parameter to the number you added the animation to in the controller.

[stable igloo]

the asset already provided a lipsync FX for that and on the item site they say blender isnt required, it's normal when I play around with the blendshape but it doesnt sync in playmode 🥹 I'm still confused where to put that FX and all the lipsync animation stuff

[lilac musk]

Sounds like all you would need to do is put the FX on your FX layer. If you already have an FX controller, you can merge them using Avatar Manager 3.0

[stable igloo]

I do have an FX controller, can you tell me how to I merge them or any tutorial about it?

[left wharf]

https://modular-avatar.nadena.dev/docs/reference/merge-animator

[lilac musk]

^ looks like modular avatar has a way to do it and is documented

[left wharf]

read the doc. but i think MA gimmick has pre-setup prefab.

[fallow fiber]

thanks but im not sure which one is the right one to add it to. is it here?
this is in assets>gogo>goloco>mainmenu

[lilac musk]

Using Avatar Manager 3.0 is really fairly easy. Add avatar manager to your project, open the tool, drag your avatar into the tool, then go to the fx layer, drag in the new fx from the lip piercing assets, then click merge

[stable igloo]

ty! I just took a look at it and checked back on my avatar, noticed the asset already has those set up but it doesn't sync in playmode, did I miss out any step?

[lilac musk]

That's not your menu, that's your parameters list. You need to add a menu item as a toggle that toggles the VRCEmote parameter, on your VRCExpressionMenu item.

[fallow fiber]

oh so here?

theres quite a lot of menus so im not sure which one i should add it to

theres also this

[lilac musk]

If that's the menu on your avatar, then yes. Click the '+' button and change it to toggle. Then under parameter, make it VRCEmote and change the value to the animation state number you added your animation to.

[left wharf]

i think lipsync doesn't work in Unity...

[stable igloo]

Oml 😭 I will ask around for more info about how to set this thing up since it hasnt worked, thank you both for the help!

[fallow fiber]

is it this one? since im going to be changing the wave emote first

[dreamy fulcrum]

why does my avatar piercing look like this in unity (1st) but normal in blender (2nd (ik i dont have textures on just trying to get it done quick))

[old totem]

Have you tried reversing the normals in Blender?

[spark walrus]

is this a boy or a girl?

[fathom wyvern]

Boy

[spark walrus]

cool

what's the avi name?

[spark walrus]

.

Maverick

i see

the ccreator of this avi should fix it

not a problem caused by u

i hate tattooes

good that there is a toggle

[fathom wyvern]

I sent them a message in their server but no answer yet so I'd thought I'd try to figure out how to fix it.

[spark walrus]

I'm gonna get my hands on this avi

haha

[fathom wyvern]

Do you want the link?

[spark walrus]

sure

[fathom wyvern]

https://teddygramqueen.gumroad.com/l/wubbmel

[spark walrus]

got u

[fathom wyvern]

Appreciate it

Seems something in the animators are messing with colors for the opti version. Does the same when you mess with skin tone as well.

[meager geyser]

Hey Hey,
I've been trying to make my own Avatar for so long, I've been asking at the main server of my Avatar Base that I got (Rexouium) but I never got any help or any good answer.
Whenever I try to get the Avatar into Unity and add 1 or 2 Assets, I always get an error of too much parameters, or too much physbones, yes it's my first time making an avatar, and I just want to have my own.
I am really curious what creators do to make Quest compatible avatars with face tracking and a bunch of other assets, I really have respect for avatar creators, when I see that I struggle with those simple things 😅

[spark walrus]

what does this mean?

[spark walrus]

I have him in my unity now

[fathom wyvern]

Nice! I wish you luck. Thankfully the pc version seems fine. The opti seems a bit wonky if amything.

[spark walrus]

with opti u mean ?

did u have to fix anytthing before u could even use it?

[fathom wyvern]

I had to re-upload it a few times. First time had the avi in the ground. The only issue I see now is the hair changing color when uploaded and fixing itself when the tattoo toggle is off.

[spark walrus]

I see

[fathom wyvern]

Still working on a fix unless the avi creator gets back to me. Still learning stuff in unity.

[spark walrus]

that's good

[dusky meadow]

#vrchat-pictures message

[spark walrus]

did u import these?

[supple bone]

does anyone know how to swap a bunch of materials on particle systems at once with vrcfury and a toggle to explain better my avi has a pallet wap where it goes from white and blue to black and red im using rudius's magic system and changing the colors of the spells is as simple as changing the color of the prticle materials but i cant animate this with piyomi because piyomi shaders dont seem to work with partice systems i found a slow and painful way to do it with the material swap property but i have to do 1 particle system at a time and have to do it twice once for on once for off theres like 50-60 diffrent particle systems to change

[buoyant thorn]

if an avatar has 2 elbows and I plan on using constraints, should I use the first elbow or second one as the mapped elbow

[ornate stump]

Poiyomi shader can work with particle system. But that require you to correctly set up the shader for whatever purpose you want it for.

[supple bone]

how does one do this i havent made an avatar in like 3 years so ive forggot alot of this

it just needs to work like the default unity particle renderer

[ornate stump]

You'd have to solve according to your issue. So what does it actually do?

What made you call it "doesn't work"?

[supple bone]

as far as i can tell just renders the particle i didnt make this asset and im just modifing it so my knowladge on it is kinda limited

[supple bone]

just goes invisible

[ornate stump]

What poiyomi version and what are the material settings?

[supple bone]

pro 9 and

this is the default settings

[ornate stump]

I meant the poiyomi material you're using for the particles.

[supple bone]

i could use any that i would need i usually defaul toon though

[ornate stump]

Aren't we trying to make the poiyomi shader work on particle system though? Or are you going to use standard particle and make lot of material instead?

[supple bone]

if possible id like to use piyomi so i can animate the color of the material

it aalso seems that i cant get a preview of the spell in the editor i have to build the avi to see if it worked

[supple bone]

if you know a good way to do a mass material swap i have the seprate materials i could use but atm i can only figure out how to do each little particle system at a time with vrc fury material swap and ive got 60+ of these things

[ornate stump]

Editor scripts could automate the process, but you'd have to create scripts for that specific purpose yourself.

[supple bone]

yea i have no clue how to do that

[ornate stump]

Then only way you could do is manually create the animations.

[supple bone]

is there a way to copy the options in vrc fury

[ornate stump]

No.

[supple bone]

i set all the materials swaps and this goes for days

i cant copy thoes

[ornate stump]

Have you tried using Copy Component menu?

[supple bone]

tf is that?

okay nvm

brain just died for a sec

this has to section is the toggle its a transition toggle that desolves my material to the otherone for my avatar for a pallet swap ive got the transition in don and id like to copy them to the transition out

[ornate stump]

Would be better if using animation.

[supple bone]

i dont know enough about animations

[ornate stump]

VRC Fury can only take so not so far because of it aim for simple tasks. If you want to do more complex task, then don't rely on just vrc fury.

[supple bone]

one hand done

[crimson basin]

hay all im trying to add a phys bone to a leed so pepole can grab it and pull on it but i cant seem to get it working hers what i got so far i woud be happy if any of you can help me out and or walk me throw this

[buoyant thorn]

when I upload the menu doesnt work when I click on it and the emotes dont work for some reason, they all worked before on previous (same project)

[vital yew]

Yo i made a new project for the girl avatr, but when i uploaded it and everything it uploaded as the boy one, so now the girl avatar is on the boy project idk why

it like uploaded as he boy one i did yesterday

[somber sequoia]

Clear the blueprint ID and it'll be a new avatar

it's likely you didn't and so when you uploaded it just updated the old one

[vital yew]

i copied the blueprint id today for the girl and i pasted it

[somber sequoia]

oh that should do it then. Assuming you have the right one active in the scene

[vital yew]

I might jsut delete it and restart it

[somber sequoia]

yep, could do that too

[vital yew]

since in what to fo now for the most part

ik*

how do i delete the avatar on vrchat

and on thr project menu

[somber sequoia]

VRChat SDK console, "content manager" tab

[vital yew]

ok

[white geyser]

What am i doing wrong here

[somber sequoia]

what are you trying to do?

[white geyser]

Add a mmd add on

I’m just confused because I’m trying to import the whole zip but it just gives me that error

[somber sequoia]

yeah I read that as whatever zip this is, it's not actually a blender add-on

[white geyser]

Oh

I need 4.2

[somber sequoia]

yeah blender version might be an issue too

[snow sluice]

help me what dose this mean

Okay, so I'm trying to upload Cryptia Curves' DCT Studios Angel avatar, and well- i keep having the same issues when trying to build. but could not and gave me the build failed error

[somber sequoia]

likely there are other errors if this has happened, so you'd have to post those instead. First 2-3 is ideal

[vital yew]

@white geyser i have to restrat everyrhing ;-; i made the girl avatar and it like uploaded on the guy one

well maybe noy

not*

ill go into dave and see if the stuff is still there

dave is still there

[snow sluice]

how can I fix It

[somber sequoia]

you haven't shown us the actual errors, so... no idea?

[snow sluice]

ok

[vital yew]

help?

what do i do i was jsut republishing this

[snow sluice]

there's more

[somber sequoia]

just what it says, you have a missing script. Install whatever is missing or delete those scripts.

[vital yew]

help please ;-;

my school wifi isnt letting try my avatar

so idk if its fixed or what

nope its the girl avatar

ill jsut delete it

[winter marlin]

I was able to upload my avatar, but I noticed that the floor level on my avatar doesn't line up with her feet. When I put my controller to the floor, it's only able to reach knee level. All other avatars work fine, so it's something off with my upload

[vital yew]

what do i do here?

[somber sequoia]

possibly your avatar's origin is not at the world origin

[vital yew]

yo how do i find the copy id thing

[somber sequoia]

click "fetch"

[vital yew]

nothing happens

[somber sequoia]

you must not have any avatars uploaded

[vital yew]

no i have non i jsut uploaded this one

do i click build and upload?

then i do the thing?

[somber sequoia]

then there's nothing to copy

what are you trying to do here?

[vital yew]

upload an avatar

i did ebfore but i messed smth up so the girl like overroad the boy avatar so i jsut deleted everything

and restarted

so im uploading the pc first

[somber sequoia]

ok so yeah, no need to copy anything, just upload it

[vital yew]

then the quest

ok

what do i save it to

[somber sequoia]

once you have the PC one uploaded, you can copy the blueprint ID and put it into the quest

[vital yew]

wdym put it into the quest

hold on

leme get this pc done first

[somber sequoia]

yes 🙂

[vital yew]

where do i save it to

i jsut clicked cancel and it worked

[somber sequoia]

how you organize your project is up to you, so save the scene wherever you want

[vital yew]

im new to this so idk

i tried uploading the girl version and it like saved onto the guy one

so i jsut deleted everything

and restarted

do i go into content manager now and copy the id and paste it and upload again?

[somber sequoia]

copy the blueprint ID that's now in the Pipeline Manager component from the PC one to the Quest one and upload the Quest one

[vital yew]

alr

sooo

copy which one

or jsut start the quest one now?

[somber sequoia]

those should be the same

[vital yew]

delete the scene avatar now then switch to andriod

ok

now what

delete dave varent?

[somber sequoia]

there are tutorials for this, and I haven't done it in a long time

[vital yew]

then put quest in and switch plat?

alr

ill try figure it out

[winter marlin]

As far as I can tell, it is. Unless there's something I'm missing

[vital yew]

ok so i just put quest i and fixed everything

how do i upload it now

copy id? and paste theren atach?

[willow carbon]

hi, i'm trying to add a "slider" to change my avatar's hair color (which just swaps material on target objects)

these are the 6 materials

blendtree sliders in the animator

[somber sequoia]

yay blendtrees

[willow carbon]

and the actual animator thing

when i enter play mode to test the hair color changes

[somber sequoia]

you don't need anystate here. just entry -> blendtree

[willow carbon]

if the slider is at 0, the hair is just white, as if no material changes were bbeing done

[willow carbon]

will try

being at 0% causes the hair to just be white (not the same white as the last hair color change, this one has no matcap at all)

which is odd because the default material for the hair is the black one

[somber sequoia]

it should be the "hair color perm empty" animation

[willow carbon]

yeah i thought of that but that animation is just empty lol

[somber sequoia]

not sure why you want that though

[willow carbon]

I used this to create the slider

[somber sequoia]

I'd just remove that one entirely

[somber sequoia]

ah no idea what that is

but otherwise it looks pretty ok

[willow carbon]

gonna remove perm empty from blendtree and see if there's any issue

[split crown]

Fixing avi hence broken mats, avi is dropping significantly into the ground. Tried moving her origin in blender didnt work

[willow carbon]

issue still present oddly

only when slider is at 0%

[somber sequoia]

it'd probably help to watch the animator while changing the radial, rather than the "scene" view.

[willow carbon]

true

lemme try

[sleek bluff]

so i had to size up my avatar for a certain asset to work but now my ingame view is in my balls and not where my head should be
how do i fix that?

[willow carbon]

avatar descriptor

[somber sequoia]

change view position, it's in the avatar descriptor

[willow carbon]

move that up i think

its a white ish dot yeah

[willow carbon]

this thing

[sleek bluff]

what do i do with it?

[willow carbon]

Place it between your avatar's eyes

[sleek bluff]

i dont see a dot

[somber sequoia]

make sure gizmos are on - little globe in the upper-right of the scene view

[willow carbon]

should be something like this

[sleek bluff]

ohh

so like right between the eyes?

[willow carbon]

yes, that's where your view will be in vrchat

[sleek bluff]

kk

[willow carbon]

i placed it here

[vital yew]

botht he avatars i uploaded are just robots

why

[somber sequoia]

are they very, very poor?

[sleek bluff]

tyy <3

[willow carbon]

might wanna check in builder

[vital yew]

me?

[willow carbon]

do this

@vital yew

[vital yew]

the boy worked last time

idk maybe its my internet

[willow carbon]

and check this

this whole tab

[vital yew]

hold on

i think it was my internet

[willow carbon]

its very poor but it shouldnt turn into a robot yet imo

[vital yew]

it was my internet :v

my bad guys

[willow carbon]

i see

np

[vital yew]

well cool i jsut uploaded my first avatar pair

only took 12 hrs

but now i kinda get it

[willow carbon]

wait

very poor avatars are blocked on quest by default

[vital yew]

?

[willow carbon]

just thought maybe that's why it was a robot

[vital yew]

my gf is gonna try them out rn and see if they work

ill get back to you once she tells me

[willow carbon]

alright

[sudden hornet]

Does anybody know how to section off the the main avatar from the optimized version in unity? Evetime I upload it the main one pops up but I'm trying to view and upload the optimized version.

[somber sequoia]

just disable the one you don't want active by unchecking the checkbox in the upper-left of the inspector

[willow carbon]

btw @somber sequoia, just solved the issue, actually you gave me the solution at the very beginning

[willow carbon]

here

[somber sequoia]

oh good 🙂

[willow carbon]

thanks again

[somber sequoia]

you don't even need the exit there

'cause one of the animations in the blendtree will always be active, no need to exit

[willow carbon]

true

alright, tested and it's solved

thanks again

[spark walrus]

There a way to adjust the armature parts like make the arms longer but when it goes into play mode they snap back into place of original. How can I fix this?

[somber sequoia]

I'd do that kind of reshaping in Blender

[vital yew]

my gf says they both work on quest

[willow carbon]

perfect then

[spark walrus]

Let's say idk how to use that yettt

[somber sequoia]

okay, then this probably isn't going to work very well. I think you'd have to build some animations for this, but I'm not sure how well scaling humanoid bones actually works, if it even works

[spark walrus]

I see. Thanks anyway

[worldly whale]

i have no idea whats wrong i already merged all the paramaters that vrc fury adds and i optimised it but it lookes like it adds even more and i dont know where or what or why this is happeneing please help @somber sequoia you are like the most helpful person here, do you have any ideas?

[somber sequoia]

please don't ping me asking for help on new things

also there's a VRC Fury discord, might be a good thing to try. I don't use it on my own stuff.

[worldly whale]

shii sorry

[worldly whale]

alright

sorry

[dire comet]

Hi hi one of my avis get shown with that

anyone know why ?

[worldly whale]

its cause there was probably something wrong with the avatar now that they changed the upload sizes and i also noticed that the vrlabs marker also tends to break and cause security checks

bet thing i would say to do is if its your avatar to open up the project and reupload both sides (pc and quest) to see what the problem is

9 times outa 10 its gonna be a size problem or a vr labs marker issue

and if its not your avi then its dead till the uploader fixs it

[dire comet]

it is one of my avatars

[dire comet]

yea it is weird. Because I have the same avatars twice just with an other head. Stats are identical and the 2nd version is still up

[vital yew]

yo i uploaded an avatar on android and it says its only pc on the vrchat website

but its saying its only pv

pc*

[somber meadow]

Press Ctrl + Shift + B, can you show the android tab. Also What Unity version and SDK package are you using

[vital yew]

idk all ik is i uploaded other avatars perfectly fine

[fathom wyvern]

Yes, I did.

[vital yew]

im alos new to this so idk much

is it bc its very poor?

[halcyon vale]

Heyo, I'm trying to create a sword from back to hand animation toggle using parent constraint, but the sword comes in the clothes that are attached to the avatar using modular avatar. I'm creating the animation from back to hand on the clothes armature, but the final animation doesnt preview at all and the toggle doesnt work.

[vital yew]

why is it not letting me upload

also i somehow made the background white how do i uh revert that

[somber sequoia]

The size limits will prevent you from uploading this

[vital yew]

how do i fix this

also the guy one doesnt work

[somber sequoia]

make it smaller

[vital yew]

er how

[somber sequoia]

see #avatar-optimization and #quest-optimization , there's lots of discussion

[spark walrus]

1

why is my view loocation not as I set it:?

'i put eye view on eyes

[somber sequoia]

got a camera on the avatar?

[spark walrus]

lemme check

no, but it is 2 meshes

the model split

lemme try see if this is t he problem

it has its own origin

didnt fix it

i deleted eye brows in unity

i must fix this in blender first, might solve it

[spark walrus]

my model has several originas

[arctic ginkgo]

this is what happens when i try to use poses with gogo loco. They all look different (and kind of close to the correct pose) but they are all broken in similar ways

i've been messing with gogo loco because i have a customized version i've built up over time from small modifications and i didn't want to lose my files, so i imported the newest gogo loco into a different project and imported some pieces from it (some just importing the folders and some imported using unitypackage)

due to this a lot of the linked files (blendtrees and motions referenced in controllers) were broken, so i manually fixed it, using the other project as a reference

clearly i messed up something along the way, but i didn't change any of the animations or controller logic, just fixing the broken references

this looks like maybe the additive pose is incorrect..

maybe it's that the controller is using different values for VRCEmote than the controller

the issue that the latest version of gogo loco has less slots for emotes than i currently have on this avatar

so i may have to redo all of the gogo loco controllers to use different values for VRCEmote

and that'll make it even harder to update in the future 😭

[ruby niche]

Curious, when installing a prefab, is it possible to adjust the prefab's menu to go in a certain location?
So for example, a sword prefab. I want it to go to my Weapons Menu, not the Main Menu of my avatar. It's VRCFury related

[arctic ginkgo]

most likely, i'm sure you can find it in the VRCFury docs. But if you don't install via VRCFury you can just add it to your weapens menu in a submenu control

[spark walrus]

still same issue

with the eye view

[ruby niche]

I tried, I don't know if the documents have been updated. I can't find any solution

Just wish VRCFury had the option you can put the said prefab in a desired sub menu you want, not instantly apply it to the main menu

[spark walrus]

help

[mental estuary]

It does. Move Menu Item. You're better off asking VRCFury questions in their server

Or you can read the docs: https://vrcfury.com/components/other#move-menu-item

[sleek bluff]

my friend is looking for the base model of the purple avatar. anyone know what its called?

[left gull]

make post in #1138520828556890214

[sleek bluff]

kk

[spark walrus]

i have issues wityh view

the view is not at front in game

[tribal pumice]

How do I make my avatar use multiple materials on the same skinned mesh renderer?

[left gull]

the mesh would need to be seperated into multiple meshes and given their own materials then merged back together into a single one in blender

[junior void]

No need to separate meshes, just make materials, select verts and hit 'assign' (blender)

[tribal pumice]

Ok I'll see if I can figure that out

[tribal pumice]

I think this is what I was looking for. Thanks!

👍

[stable isle]

i have a part of an avatar that i want to lag a very small bit behind the movement of another part. I know that there's constraints and things that can do that, but don't know the specifics. does anyone have any insight on that?

[spark walrus]

how to make static poses for ur avatars?

[willow carbon]

can i decimate directly within unity or should i go back to blender for that

[stable isle]

look into polygon reducer addons for unity/vrchat.
i personally use mantis LOD

[willow carbon]

thank you

[spark walrus]

my view point isnt at my avatars eytes

iun game

[strange dirge]

Hey any idea why my feet are coming off the ground and tilting up like this when the animator is applied?
Also is there a way to adjust my arms during the idle pose? I made some changes in the muscle settings, and they moved, but I have no idea which muscles control the idle pose

and the bones, for reference

[solid grail]

sounds like either your uvmap or material setup is fucked up, did you make the model yourself?

[dry ibex]

No i didnt, i did like mix 3 models into one though

[solid grail]

ehhh kitbashing can rarely fuck up the uv map, is it one material??

[dry ibex]

(Horns, tail, and body are all from different models, and all have different textures)

[dry ibex]

No

3

[dry ibex]

Tail??

I meant hair

Srry

[stable isle]

on your avatar descriptor, there's a view position thing
click edit, move the new arrows and white dot you see to between the eyes, then click return

[solid grail]

so like select the parts you added and show me them in the uv map viewer

sometimes when you remove parts they can get fucked up there when you add them to new avis

[solid grail]

(on blender)

[dry ibex]

Ok btw i joined the hair horns and body but they all use different textures so uh

One sec

[solid grail]

pray im not right bc if i am im not really able to help you

[dry ibex]

Where is uv map viewer

Sorry i am new to blender

[spark walrus]

i know it's not that

[solid grail]

oh lord

[stable isle]

oh?

[solid grail]

its this tab in blender

just select one of the full models you imported from another model

(edit mode)

[dry ibex]

ok what now

[spark walrus]

view in game is still behind the head

[solid grail]

you have been blessed by the blender gods, its not spaghetti so thats not the issues

wait a second

when you import it into unity you're trying to drag the texture onto the model...?

[dry ibex]

i tried dragging it into the hierarchy too

onto the model

[solid grail]

that's

yeah no

you need to drag the texture onto the models material

[dry ibex]

i think i did that

one sec

[solid grail]

so

you click on the actual mesh of the avatar in unity

hol on im opening my avi scene so i can get a screenshot

[dry ibex]

should it look like this

[solid grail]

yeahh

that's odd

[dry ibex]

also which one is the shader that glows

i want that for the horns

[solid grail]

you're uploading for mobile, cant do that

[dry ibex]

i have a couple mobile avatars that glow

quest

[solid grail]

uhhh

[dry ibex]

bright

[solid grail]

i think its a different shader then

yeah you can have bright stuff just not

fully glowing

[dry ibex]

which is bright

[solid grail]

its the mobile standard lite shader

[dry ibex]

tysm

[solid grail]

the property you want is emission

[solid grail]

it's

so cursed

highschool girls after saying "wahhh im so fattt 😭"

n they ass is literally anorexic

[spark walrus]

cant fix the problem with the eyes

[sudden hornet]

When I'm trying to convert the platform build to android why does it say the android player is disabled?

[left wharf]

You need Android Build Support. It can install from Unity Hub.

[sudden hornet]

I have it installed but it still says it is disabled

[left wharf]

Open Build Settings and select Android tab. then take a screenshot please.

[sudden hornet]

alright I found the place where it says I don't have it and when I go to download it, it says I failed to remove previous unity android support.

[left wharf]

close unity. and retry

[sudden hornet]

I don't have anything open that is unity related.

[left wharf]

hmm... take a screenshot and show me.

[sudden hornet]

alright let me load it up real quick

I clicked on the open download page and downloaded from there and the error I sent before this is what I got.

[left wharf]

ah you didn't install unity from unity hub...

[sudden hornet]

how can I do that then?

[left wharf]

remove unity. and access https://unity.com/ja/releases/editor/archive . then, search 2022.3.22f1 -> click Install

[sudden hornet]

So I just uninstall this and redownload it?

[left wharf]

yep

[spiral stone]

Hey ya'll, got a question for you
Working on an avatar for a friend. We've got the hand gestures and the facial expressions separated properly onto the FX and Gesture layer. I also have the FX layer set up with the left and the right hand both controlling facial animations like a regular avatar usually does. My friend wants to be able to lock her facial animation to any of her expressions so that she can continue to move and wiggle her fingers around normally, however using the lock gestures button in game locks both FX and Gestures.
My question is this, How should i set up animations for her that can just select any facial expression and stay on it until it's toggled off, so that they can still use their hand gestures while their face is locked?
I was thinking i could just set up a separate layer that i can toggle a parameter to set the face to a certain animation, but i don't think that would stop the gestures from overriding it, or if it'd even work at all
any ideas? pls @ me as i may not check back here often! thank you :3

[sudden hornet]

After reinstalling it still gives me the same error prompts any reason why?

[left wharf]

please show me this window.

[left wharf]

hmmm... weird. it should be work

[sudden hornet]

yeah because now im getting this error

it lets me switch to the android build but it says I dont have it installed but when I click install it brings me to the picture I sent before this one and it says I have it installed.

[left wharf]

try remove Library folder

[sudden hornet]

I finally managed to get it working I just deleted it but redownloaded it without adding android modules until I got into the unity project and it prompted me to do so.

[solid grail]

how do i add armature to an object in blender to attach it to a avatar in unity??

literally just need a one bone armature i can drop onto the armature of the avatar

[night ember]

if you dont plan on having a model deform then you dont need an armature

you can just throw it directly on the bone in the hierarchy in unity

[solid grail]

but.. doesnt look pretti ;-;

also i wanna have it be on a springjoint

[night ember]

there isnt a difference between a singular bone and no bone

[solid grail]

i just wanna have the shield be visible in the heirarchy easier

also would i need two bones to do the springjoint thing?

[somber sequoia]

technically you don't need any bones for a spring joint

[night ember]

^

[somber sequoia]

just two game objects, one of which is probably your avatar

[night ember]

the only time you ever need a bone at all is when you plan on having it deform

[solid grail]

why do ppl usually use one on objects meant for other avis then?

[night ember]

🤷‍♂️

[somber sequoia]

this is a very good question

[night ember]

its entirely not needed

[somber sequoia]

but often the answer is they don't know any better

[solid grail]

oh-

[night ember]

or for prefab toggles

where they tell you to unpack it and stick the bone on the hand or whatever but keep the mesh object somewhere else

[solid grail]

still think ima keep the bone setup i have rn bc i had to split the mesh in order to get the materials working right

(i wanna run 2 materials over one part of it)

(blender does not love doin that)

[somber sequoia]

you shouldn't need to split things for that, but okay

[solid grail]

i also shouldnt be using 2 shaders on one part of smth but ye

[somber sequoia]

sometimes you have to

[night ember]

its entirely up to how you want it to look

[solid grail]

if i didnt split it then adding additional materials once in unity just rendered it on the wrong submesh

[somber sequoia]

sounds like you didn't assign materials to faces properly, but that's of course a guess

[solid grail]

i did, you just cant assign multiple materials to a single face

at least in blender

[somber sequoia]

oh, this is true, but why would you want to?

[solid grail]

if you try then it deselects the faces on the other materials

[somber sequoia]

I'm not sure how that makes much sense

[solid grail]

one material is rendering a parallax sort of sci-fi "screen" while the second is poiyomi making the screen reflective and such on the surface

[somber sequoia]

well it would if you're trying to weirdly layer - ok yeah

[solid grail]

this is why

[night ember]

you dont need bones for that

[solid grail]

not for bones, we were talkin ab applying multiple materials to one face selection

which is why i had to split the mesh into two parts

im just using the bone as an empty object to hold the two meshes now

[night ember]

are they like the same exact face location or what

[solid grail]

yeah

[somber sequoia]

er... so it could just be two faces in the same location on the same mesh

[solid grail]

bc the object already uses multiple materials if i tried to add an extra one in unity no matter how i organized them it just wouldnt apply right

[night ember]

you wouldnt need them to be entirely separated meshes

[somber sequoia]

or one slightly in front

like how some creators like to do eyes

[solid grail]

how to double your poly count 101

[night ember]

or like what vulthra does now where they stencil the eyes

[night ember]

separate meshes would also double the poly count and now the mesh renderers

[somber sequoia]

Sure but you've already doubled the material count, I suspect this isn't a big issue

[solid grail]

plus uh

is easier to just split it into 2 meshes

so it renders correctly

[somber sequoia]

yep, this isn't a terrible thing at all

[night ember]

it would render the same if the meshes were combined

[solid grail]

sarcasm?

[somber sequoia]

no, this is pretty trivial in the world of avatars with 97 material slots and 500MB of textures

[solid grail]

just

just why

[buoyant wing]

Help?

[somber sequoia]

I ask that often.

[night ember]

sign out and sign in

[somber sequoia]

Did you do as it tells you?

[solid grail]

please use google

[buoyant wing]

Tried that like 5 times

[solid grail]

ah

also please list things you've tried to help 😭

[night ember]

then reopen the project

[buoyant wing]

The thing you sent when you said and I quote "please use google" 🤡

[solid grail]

mfw i am a jerk to random ppl online trying to help me that have zero obligation to do so

[buoyant wing]

What does that even mean

[sleek bluff]

when i click a gogo option my character does do anything

[somber sequoia]

did you set gogo loco up properly?

[sleek bluff]

i dragged the prefab into my char heierarchy then applied the same fx to the thingies

[somber sequoia]

you need the other animation layers too

base, gesture, action

[sleek bluff]

wheres that?

[somber sequoia]

oh I see VRC Fury there. I've not used that method.

[sleek bluff]

well how do i do it manually?

[somber sequoia]

The creator wrote thorough docs on that method, just follow them

[solid grail]

so like.. how do i set up custom springjoints? over here trynna throw myself into making first custom asset

[buoyant wing]

Couldn't help myself.

[solid grail]

crazy!

[solid grail]

needless to say tried google, no decent tutorials

[pure isle]

any ideas on possibly solitions for the mouth?

[gentle goblet]

Hey I was wondering if this is normal or if the texture is misaligned. It's ment to be for the same body I have but idk >~>

[queen trail]

i added 1 new blend shape and the whole avatar is like this now and is very big when uploaded and the view point is set at normal hight but acts like its in between the legs

someone help pls

[ebon bolt]

what does this mean? I cant upload this avatar to pc because of this error

[somber sequoia]

likely you exported from blender with different settings than before. probaby set the scaling option to FBX All

[somber sequoia]

this is a side-effect, post the first 2-3 errors

[ebon bolt]

This issue was resolved, it was me missing a prefab I needed

[buoyant thorn]

why is fix model merging a random bone with my finger that doesnt even have the same name or connected at all

[arctic ginkgo]

did the requirements to pass security checks recently change? i made an avatar a few months ago that has been fine until i just checked today and it failed :(

it's not the most optimized, but i have another version of the avatar that's pretty much the same thing except with more physbones and that one is fine

i think it might be the scale of the avatar

it was just a gimmick where the avatar's armature was scaled down on one axis in order to appear 2D

[fallow gulch]

Try to upload the avi again
I heard that some people ran into issues with their avis being falsely flagged
The requirements have not changed

(Unless the avi has an uncompressed size bigger than the allowed size.. or.. a download size bigger than allowed)

Cause those are now enforced iirc

[winter marlin]

Hey, just rechecking to see if anyone knows a fix for this. No matter what I do, the character and the VR world space aren't lining up

[somber sequoia]

did you check the object origin in Blender?

[timber wharf]

uh white line should be going front iirc

so its backwards

[winter marlin]

Ah, okay. I'll fix that

And yeah, all the origins in Blender are at the center, with the character at the right level

[somber sequoia]

and all transforms applied?

[winter marlin]

Yep

[buoyant thorn]

how do I get alpha map to work I got one for the hair to be transparent at a certain area but it doesnt actually become transparent when I turn it to fade/transparent/transclipping

[somber sequoia]

one assumes your map has black as transparent and white as opaque?

[buoyant thorn]

so black is supposed to be transparent?

I thought white was the stuff affected

[fallow gulch]

White is fully visible
Black is fully transparent

[buoyant thorn]

its still not becoming transparent

I did black for transparent

[fallow gulch]

Where did you assign the alpha map in the material?

[buoyant thorn]

yeah

I even put it to 0 alpha

but no effect

[fallow gulch]

Does changing the alpha work without an alpha map?

[buoyant thorn]

no actually

what do I do to fix that?

[fallow gulch]

Is this Poiyomi shader?

[buoyant thorn]

yes

[fallow gulch]

There is a section right under where you took the picture from that you can use to modify alpha properties
Can you show how things are set up in there?
You have options like "force opaque" in there. So that's the interesting part of the shader

[fallow gulch]

Yeah, that seems to be fine

And you are sure that this is the material assigned to the avatar?

[kindred lynx]

How can i add a glitch and light Effekte on a Avatar thats working for the Quest ?

[oak hound]

who here knows how to add sound footsteps? I followed two guides to try and combined both, but is not working

[buoyant thorn]

yes

[buoyant thorn]

okay I made it work but how do I make not take the whole black off

nvm fixed it

[fallow gulch]

Nice job :D

What was the issue?

[buoyant thorn]

I had a extra mesh above apparently for like hair highlights

Just had to remove it

[fallow gulch]

Ah okay
That makes sense then

[gentle goblet]

I was wondering if there was any way to bring the leg warmers closer together without unlinking them and such. Also if I do have to seperate each one, how would I do that again?

[sick star]

is there an easy way to make physbone colliders? im trying to make oval shaped ish ones for thighs for a dress so they dont clip through them or the legs constantly but dont really know how you actually make them or shape them

nevermind i pressed buttons and figured it out

[hard turtle]

anyone got ideas on how tf i should make a generic head texture for this shit

[haughty coyote]

I want to install VRCLens on my avatar, but I didn't consider one thing. Because my avatar has FT. And I understand it complains that there are no free parameters, how can this be fixed? Because VRCLens itself is added to the menu, but it can't set up the camera

[sick star]

anyone good with constraints here? turns out this was more complicated than i thought

[full cloak]

hello someone could help me. I would like to put an avatar head and connect it to the body etc and I can't do it. 😭 help me please.

sorry my english is bad

[night ember]

why would you need constraints for physbones

[junior void]

Example: butt

[spark walrus]

w

in game my view is behind my head

why?

[fallow gulch]

If you get Av3 Emulator and enable it
You go into play mode
Then you can see that the character gets moved back or forward, and the viewball stays in place
Basically you want to align the view ball's position with the playmode position of the character
I think this happens because of rigging, but I could be wrong

[spark walrus]

where is Av3 Emulator
?

ah that one

how do i enable it?

[light charm]

assuming that this is an animated avatar, their viewpoints can not be moved forward, but rather, can only be moved on the y axis (up or down)

[fallow gulch]

At the top of Unity. Tools > Enable Av3 Emulator

[fallow gulch]

Is that how generic avatars work?

[light charm]

yes

although i'm not sure why

[fallow gulch]

So.. what happens if you actually do move the viewball forward?
Does it just not change at all?

[light charm]

it won't change in-game

[fallow gulch]

Ah okay... I see
That's very strange

Might even be a bug, if this is consistent

[light charm]

if it wasn't obvious, animated (generic) avatars aren't widely supported

[fallow gulch]

Well yes

But ye, might be worth looking at hmm

[spark walrus]

At the top of Unity. Tools > Enable Av3 Emulator

doesnt appear

i can only download it @fallow gulch

[fallow gulch]

You should be able to add it to your project from the Creator Companion

[spark walrus]

how?

i ve already created the project

[fallow gulch]

But if what Xenarthra says is still true right now, and your avatar is not humanoid, but generic rig, then this will not help

[fallow gulch]

You can click manage, and find Av3 Emulator in the list of packages
Then you can add it to the project

[spark walrus]

u mean this?

i had to lcick vrchlab

[fallow gulch]

That is the Av3 Manager

Not the Av3 Emulator

[spark walrus]

ok i restart

[spark walrus]

yes

manager

this is the manager

oh wait

ok hold on

[spark walrus]

ok i have it enabled

[spark walrus]

dunno if i can see anything

[fallow gulch]

When you enter play mode, try to see where the viewball is
Make sure the avatar is selected
You can scroll down to see the avatar's desciptor like outside of play mode
You can even click the edit button for the viewball
But you won't be able to move it in play mode

[spark walrus]

it is frozen

i cant select anything in play modfe

ok

wait

@slim flax

[spark walrus]

ws

[fallow gulch]

Yeah, there is your viewball

So go out of playmode and move it
Then enter play mode and see where it ends up

(You only have to do this if the avatar moves once you enter play mode. If it stays in the same position then there is no point in hopping in and out of play mode)

[spark walrus]

doesnot let nme pmove it'

[spark walrus]

.

[fallow gulch]

You can only move it outside of play mode

[spark walrus]

wont lket me

move

ok

ehm

but it is where i put it

[fallow gulch]

I have no idea why it wouldn't let you move the viewball like that

[spark walrus]

in game it resets the x axis onm view

or whater that axis is

i can only move camera upwards

[spark walrus]

someone help

[light charm]

yep, my suspicions are correct then
it's an animated avatar

[spark walrus]

it is

@light charm

[light charm]

yeah, there's not much you can do about that

[spark walrus]

why?

shall i remove animation>?

[lime lance]

Pretty sure all you have to do is apply rig settings in the inspector

[supple bone]

hi is ther a way to hide certian toggles until one is turned on and while its turned on hide other toggles

[lime lance]

Click on rig then generic then apply

[spark walrus]

it is already generic

[lime lance]

Huh

[spark walrus]

the onkly thing i changed is create friom this model

whatever it does

[lime lance]

What does the animator component look like on the game object

[lime lance]

See if unity generated and avatar file for your model

[spark walrus]

IT DID

only after doping the creat friom this model

[lime lance]

It should work now

[supple bone]

is there a way to hide certian toggles until one is turned on and while its turned on hide other toggles

[lime lance]

You cannot modify the expressions menu in real time

[spark walrus]

still doesnt work

[supple bone]

i swear ive seen it on other avatars before

[spark walrus]

and now my standard pose is

crawling

[left gull]

do you mean hiding toggles animation wise not the menu itself?

[lime lance]

What does the animator look like

[spark walrus]

says crawling

[supple bone]

no i mean the menu itself i swear an avatar ive worn before had an entirely diffrent menu when you had a toggle on

[spark walrus]

i put it to idle then. But view hasnt changed still

[left gull]

dont think thats possible

atleast not by normal means

[supple bone]

define normal XD ive done some pretty not normal stuff with this avi

[left gull]

i mean like outside of what you're typically allowed to do like bypassing restrictions with a modified SDK

ive never seen a model that'd allow you to have entirely different menus when you turn on toggles

[supple bone]

could i not have the expression menu swapped out using like an animation or something

[left gull]

pretty sure if you could ever even achieve that the menu would just not work (not to mention something like that would get performance heavy VERY fast)

[timber wharf]

no

menu is fixed, all you could do is just force toggles off, not hide them

[spark walrus]

my animations ciompletely stopped working

and imn in that crawl pose

wai

yes im in crawl

[quiet shell]

vrc quest tools stopped working

specified cast error

[fast hollow]

anyone know how to fix this?

[left gull]

your menus/fx layer have items in them that dont have their required parameters on your param list

so either add the proper parameters or remove your scythe,pen and gogoloco

[fast hollow]

Do you know where I go to change them? I tried looking for a while yesterday and when I found what i thought was the area to fix it it didnt work (I suck at unity)

[somber meadow]

seems like you basically broke the gogoloco prefab even more

remove the gogoloco folder from your project and add the package again, show the error if there's one

[fast hollow]

looks like it 💀

[somber meadow]

there shouldn't be pen stuff in gogoloco

[fast hollow]

oh thats a prop i added and it had a menu made for it but if i used that menu i wouldnt be able to use the gogoloco menu so i made the pen menu a submenu of the gogoloco menu, guessing that broke something though

[somber meadow]

it did

use a VRCFury "Move Menu Item" component instead

it'll non destructively move menus for you without having to mess with prefabs

[snow sluice]

again I need help

[somber sequoia]

Probably there's another error above this - paste the first 2-3.

If not and this is a brand new upload, possibly there's a blueprint ID left over from the creator, you can't overwrite someone else's avatar, so it'd clear that for you.

[winter marsh]

I have no clue what I'm doing. Completely new to avatar creation, and am trying to import the avatar I made in vroid studio using the vrm converter, but it won't let me actually put my avatar in the thingy

Then again, I really don't know where to put it, it's also my first time using unity.

[hard lichen]

btw, private avatars that were never cached on people's pc will be error robots for others
like, avatars that are private, and other people never cached, will be error robots
doing some tests rn

[broken turret]

Guys I have question. How can I make transparent picture for unity without using standard shader? (so it will be able for quest too)

It just still black for some reason

[somber sequoia]

You cannot do alpha transparency on quest

[broken turret]

got it

[winter marsh]

Ive figured this out now, how do I make custom emotes/expressions/items?

[junior void]

Thats like asking "How do i do everything?"

[hasty grail]

i cant sort out why my shader keeps going pink, its tthe only one to do it heres the error:

[junior void]

Why old poi

[hasty grail]

it happens on both 8.0 and 8.1

and because thats the one i have that i paid for

to my knowledge, 8.1 is the newest anyway

[near gazelle]

why can i not use Dynamicbones?

[junior void]

When i go to poi discord, the latest version is 9-something

[junior void]

Dynamic bones is old and was replaced by physbones. They do the same thing

[near gazelle]

when i do the auto fix it wont work like before

[junior void]

Then you need to adjust the settings in the script

[wild birch]

anyone else knows why me and my friend see eachother as error bots?

[winter marsh]

Really?

[flint snow]

its a vrc issue rn, pvt avatars cant be seen by others, idk why, just randomly started happening

[wild birch]

so have u been also encountering this? it was fine a few seconds ago a did a small tweek on my avi and boom everything broken

[flint snow]

yup

seams to only be pvt avi's, idk

[broken turret]

Guys I have trouble, for some reason I don't see shape keys in any of this cubes, like it's everything is -none-, how that could happend??

[junior void]

What makes you think cubes have viseme blendshapes

[broken turret]

Uhh..

[wild birch]

lmk if u get any more info about it

[broken turret]

Welp umm, if they don't have keys then why I don't see scene which has them?

[junior void]

What

How about we start with "what are you trying to do"

[broken turret]

I'm trying to make all shapekeys, like on this screenshot, but I don't see them for some reason

I'm trying to figure out why

[somber sequoia]

did you export this from Blender but have a modifier that couldn't be automatically applied? Such as subdivision?

[broken turret]

Yes?

[junior void]

Thatd be the reason

Apply modifiers before exporting

[broken turret]

OH WAIT I put subdivision but I'm stupid didn't use it

Let me try to fix it

Thanks you both for rn! :3

[somber sequoia]

yep, this one has got me more than once

[junior void]

I never use modifiers on organic models so yea, got me only once

[hasty grail]

well time to pray this isnt gonna fuck me

[somber sequoia]

it's not, it works fine 🙂

[hasty grail]

well so far, cpu is at 100 and its blue, it was pink

[somber sequoia]

blue = compiling shaders

[hasty grail]

ik

[pastel wolf]

anybody elses avatars turned into error bots?

[stone cove]

Hey, I got an avatar to upload from a creator but I'm really struggling with uploading it. I've never done it and would really love for someone to help me ;-;

[supple bone]

hey kind of a dumb question but is there a good way to have a normal sized version of my avi and a chibi version in the same project and swap between the 2 with a toggle

[junior void]

Youd have to be more specific

[somber sequoia]

yeah, it's make two avatars and swap the standard way. really is the best choice.

[supple bone]

ah thats what i was afraid of rip then i guess

[somber sequoia]

why be afraid of it? It's way easier than any other way

[supple bone]

i wanted it all on one avi is all

not technically afraid just dissapointed i guess

[somber sequoia]

really it's worse in most ways

[supple bone]

how hard would it be to make a full sized nova beast texture fit on a cibi version i is not good at texturing and i like my texture i paid for

[somber sequoia]

ah I've never seen either avatar, so wouldn't know - you'd probably have to compare UV maps

[supple bone]

ion know how to do that either

[somber sequoia]

it can be learned 🙂

[supple bone]

how does one learn

XD

i wouldnt even know what to serch

[somber sequoia]

blender UV editor, UV map. or just compare the actual texture files, and if they're different, it'll take some work

[supple bone]

is this the uv map?

[junior void]

Its a texture

But you can guess wheres what

[supple bone]

this is the full sized texture

[junior void]

Looks plenty different

[supple bone]

yea

big oof on that

[fast void]

has anyone found a fix for the error bot bug? where your avi turns into an error botfor everyone except for yourself, or do i just have to reupload the avatar?

[supple bone]

any good places to find free chibi novabeast textures

[somber sequoia]

re-upload, and if it's not horribly bad it should be fine

[fast void]

painnn

okay thank you!

[lethal dagger]

dont know if this is the right channel but im trying to upload the imposter for my av but it sets it at 1,60 while my av's base height is 1,83 does anyone know how i fix this?

[hasty grail]

Slowly updating, anyone know a faster way?

[somber sequoia]

.... you have that many materials?

[junior void]

I mean, look left

[somber sequoia]

your computer is going to catch fire just because of all the draw calls

[junior void]

🥴

[hasty grail]

pc runs fine with unity in play and vrchat open while using pcvr, soooooo

[placid nacelle]

dose anyone know the problem because it goes transparent and also messes up the skin as well

[dusk pulsar]

I can't see VRCSDK or other packages under "Packages"
How can I fix it? I need vrchandsonly component.

[somber sequoia]

install it via VCC?

[dusk pulsar]

Yes, that's what I'm doing all the time. Using creator companion to start Unity. I even have menus available.

But packages don't appear, like

If I go through folder, I can find vrc_onlyhands thing, for gestures, but can't select that in controller

[buoyant thorn]

how can I make the eye shadow appear behind the pupil, I tried fade and lower render queue than the actual eye but nope

[somber meadow]

use stencils

Which shader are those materials using

[buoyant thorn]

poi

[somber meadow]

Poiyomi supports stencils, this would be a good place to use it

[hasty grail]

Q: is it worth moving all shaders to one shader? ir all standared ones to poi Pro?

[somber meadow]

What shader you use is just preference

you can use standard or poiyomi, poiyomi doesn't have bad performance if it's locked (Game is CPU limited anyway)

[timber wharf]

@hasty grail avatars dont benefit from reusing the shaders, maybe tiiiny memory save. so better to have separete versions with only necessary features and maps enabled if were tslking poi

[spark walrus]

hey i brought a texture and it says to use photoshop and merg it, how do i do that in photoshop

what is outliine:?

and gr

[gentle goblet]

Could someone please help me with this still

[acoustic trail]

Anyone know how to make face gestures prioritize one hand instead of mixing?

imma try these and get back to you thank you so much

[dim owl]

Hey, i need a bit of help. If anyone here ha worked on a Regulus2.0 Avatar before, is there a way to remove the default hair on it? I want to add new hair to the model, but the default hair, i fear, might pose as a issue. There doesnt appear to be a blendshape dedicated for the hair either.

No, Unity. I have no blender experience :p

Im not sure, how would i check?

Yeah, the hair is not seperate.

[acoustic trail]

write defaults are on for all, i want right hand priority for expressions

[woeful stag]

avatar is stuck in the motorbike pose and i cant get it back to tpose no matter what i do any help?

[acoustic trail]

does it have something in the animator?

[woeful stag]

doesnt have one

[acoustic trail]

i guess i might have messed something up, because it'll mix if i use both ;;

they all are

[unreal pasture]

[gentle goblet]

Thank you so much <3

[supple bone]

doing multiple textures for my avis body and i have 2 setup i desolve between the 2 with piyomi but would like to add more any good ways to do that

id like to keep my desolve effcts

im also using vrcfury if that helps

[gentle goblet]

How would I close these up so they hugged my legs better?

[somber sequoia]

you don't - blendshapes are mesh-only. You could do an animation which tweaks both though.

[night ember]

just move the bone with an animation

[somber sequoia]

it's kinda tricky to dissolve between two without being nekkid - probably only go down to like 20-30% then swap 🙂

Im trying to add grips for item toggles into my gestures layer and this is all I see for mask layers?

[upper needle]

tried setting up 2d eye movement, everything is perfectly operational in unity (debugging via gesture manager), however in vrc, it doesnt work since the parameters i use for the eye movements are just set to 0,0 (should default at 0.5,0.5). any ideas?

[somber sequoia]

you can create new masks

[upper needle]

nvm, switching the constraints to "local space" fixed, although still a bit jank and will need more work

[sinful gate]

did vrc change the way you toggle stations? Im doing it just like the website and its still having inconsistancy problems.

[night ember]

what

[sinful gate]

for seats on avatars

[main fiber]

It seems as if some of the clothing toggles on my avatar are not being synced to the quest version and make me appear much less covered than what I see on pc, how do I fix this?

[left gull]

double check both the Quest and PC versions share the same parameter list and the same things sync'd

[night ember]

stations need to be enabled by default with atleast a few frames before toggled off

[sinful gate]

make sure the menu and the params are the same on both models, like none are deleted

[somber sequoia]

this is the answer

[main fiber]

so just make both my pc and my quest use the same fx and parameter controller?

[sinful gate]

thank you

[somber sequoia]

I found that 3 frames is fine

[sinful gate]

yee

[main fiber]

okay, thank you

[wooden zinc]

Im verry confused (also dont know where to put this ) it says i have no bones to make it humanoid im verry confused

[scarlet roost]

Is there a way to do something like this on a Vroid model? https://www.tiktok.com/@samayebae/video/7346001284228517125

[somber sequoia]

do you not have an armature?

[wooden zinc]

i do

it was a pre made avatar i bought (jeager) and ive edited it before but its seems it just died or somthing

[somber sequoia]

strange that didn't work then

[wooden zinc]

like im so confused cause it works perfect in blender everything moves but in unity (no matter what project i do or make a new one) ether it crashes me or does the humanoid thing

[somber sequoia]

you exported with the armature, right?

[wooden zinc]

let me doubble check

yeah i think it did it says it did but ill re export it and see

[fast hollow]

I’m adding shorts under a skirt for a avatar and every time I try to make the blendshape link it tells me no valid mappings found when i’m 100% sure i have the name of the body correct (its literally just Body_b) is there anything I can do?

[somber sequoia]

can you be more specific as to what you're doing here?

[wooden zinc]

yeah i did and its says the same thing

[fast hollow]

Im trying to make the shorts not clip through the body

[atomic spindle]

How so?

Because Im not sure what to use from that list, and without a mask if I do an animation that changes the hand gesture it overrides both hands

[somber sequoia]

do you have body-hiding blendshapes already?

[fast hollow]

?

[somber sequoia]

one of the menus - I don't have unity open but asset -> new -> mask, then pick and choose what you want to do with it

[somber sequoia]

what do you need explained?

[fast hollow]

oh sorry i thought u were talking to me

[somber sequoia]

I was

[fast hollow]

oh 💀

[somber sequoia]

oh I missed replying, sorry about that

(my glass is half-full, because I drank the other half, if you know what I mean)

[fast hollow]

basically i have a pair of shorts and i did the blendshape link to my avatars body to make it not clip through the body but it says this

[somber sequoia]

ohhh VRC Fury blendshape link

So what this does is match blendshapes active on one object to another, if they exist. That is all.

It's not going to somehow cause the body to hide if you have the shorts active.

[fast hollow]

the shorts arent moving at all tho

[somber sequoia]

"they"?

[fast hollow]

whoops

[somber sequoia]

"no valid mappings" means there are no blendshapes in common

And if by "moving" you mean not moving when the armature moves, that isn't what this component does, that's what Armature link does

don't confuse the two

[fast hollow]

sorry 😅 i have a armature link

[somber sequoia]

Ok so which problem are you having then?

[fast hollow]

isnt that a bad thing though?

my other message is taking a millennia to send

[somber sequoia]

not necessarily

[fast hollow]

the debug info under blendshape link says no valid mappings found and its doing this

oh okay it just didnt send the image

🫠

since my internet is actual garbage basically anytime the legs move out of the normal t pose position they clip through the shorts

oh wait did it send

[fluid drum]

why does the unity remove bones I need?
Is there another way to export my model so it doesnt do this?
And if not the above, what can I do?

[somber sequoia]

it removes bones?

never seen that happen

[fluid drum]

oh sorry

its UNITY removing the bones..

fbx doesnt remove bones

[somber sequoia]

by "remove" what do you mean exactly?

[fluid drum]

some of my bones are just... missing

[somber sequoia]

if you drag the model into the scene do they not show up?

[fluid drum]

its not that

im trying to get the rig to my humanoid

[somber sequoia]

ok but first answer yes or no

[fluid drum]

but opening the configuration menu, shows the model has less bones, (the ones i need.)

[somber sequoia]

are they present if you look at the hierarchy?

[fluid drum]

no

[somber sequoia]

ok that's bizarre, never seen that

[fluid drum]

my suspicions is that FBX for some reaons makes some bones protude out of the model, and unity removes them

[somber sequoia]

usually means those objects aren't in the FBX file

do you have more than one armature or something weird?

[fluid drum]

its one armature

wait like

what do you mena one armature

[somber sequoia]

it's a simple question - do you have more than one armature in that FBX?

[fluid drum]

like armature group, or armatures in general

[somber sequoia]

... no really. armature - do you have more than one?

[fluid drum]

yeah

[somber sequoia]

why?

[fluid drum]

wait wdym

[somber sequoia]

I can keep saying the word "armature" here if you want, I'm not sure where you're confused

[fluid drum]

oh....

i think i know

yeah.. just one

i thought you were talking about bones

[somber sequoia]

no, I'd have said "bone" in that case 🙂

[fluid drum]

phew

i may have found a soloution:

1. disable leaf bones
2. use ends to fill in needed bones (im not sure if that works.. worth a shot, worked the first time i tried to model.)

(it worked..)

[foggy palm]

my avatar music noise in audio source how to fix or setting ?

[somber sequoia]

iirc gesture manager and lyuma's emulator run the whole animation layer properly, and without you just get whatever animator is in the animator slot and nothing else, including VRChat base locomotion

[digital anchor]

maybe im missing something but my expression menu is empty aside from quick menu when testing ingame despite working just fine in gesture manager

[somber sequoia]

yeah, sorry I forgot to reply

[arctic ginkgo]

does anyone know how this works? https://github.com/JuzoVR/WorldSync

[somber sequoia]

sounds like animations moving things to me

[main fiber]

my pc and quest avatar, dispite having the same parameters and fx layer, doesnt sync clothing and im stuck in 1 outfit for questies. please help!
