[somber meadow]

Referring to SPS

[upbeat quartz]

Yeah, it doesn't have it

[fleet linden]

what about my problem? i can explain it in detail (Well actually it's short)

[somber meadow]

Can you select the avatar and click Tools/VRCFury/List all components at the top of unity and show that

[somber meadow]

If you explain the issue, you’ll get a faster answer. Asking to ask just adds delays

[sullen flint]

Yoooo W pfp

[fleet linden]

well The problem is i tried to watch Multiple tutorials on how to import avatars to unity for vrchat but i found out these were outdated and i accidently corrupted my project due to that and i didn't realize it (thankfully the project was empty though)

so i am looking for help here because i'm not willing to risk more corruption

[fleet linden]

Yeah i also have titanfall Avatars but those were applied onto my account from someone else's public avatars

those were not mine

just being honest

[sullen flint]

Idk what your talking about, I literally just joined this server and say there was activity in this channel

[fleet linden]

lets not talk about it here the topic of this channel is for helping people Not going Off-topic

[sullen flint]

My bad my bad

[fleet linden]

Go to my dm

[agile reef]

My avatar, I just exported him into unity and I noticed the sides of the hair here caving into the head- but on blender, it looks perfectly fine and I havent even rigged it yet. Can someone tell me whats happened?

[delicate orchid]

my offline build and test is failing and idk how to read console ;((((

[gray pewter]

are there any tricks you can do to animate a humanoid bone outside of the humanoid limits? do constraints work on humanoid bones?

[agile reef]

another screenshot for this

[dusky marlin]

can someone make me a avatar free plz

[graceful wedge]

#1304976542711152640 message

[graceful wedge]

use vroid its a pretty good free avatar creator

or readyplayerme

[dusky marlin]

ok

[graceful wedge]

use vroid to customize size btw

readyplayerme is like 6ft tall

[dusky marlin]

but its spider-man

[graceful wedge]

oh

erm

idk

[knotty kiln]

hey, quick question everyone, what is the default preview speed in unity?

[timber wharf]

1?

[knotty kiln]

its 1 isn't it?

okay thanks

lol stupid question mb, looked it up

thanks anyway

[next yew]

still not done with this
idk how to explain; theres the little part where you put it inside the head near the eyes in order to see when wearing your avatar, the eyes and head of this character sit a little farther away, how would i go about putting that piece where u see without ruining the ability to see around you (this is horribly explained im sorry, im new to this still)

basically how see if head and eyes are not at normal human eye length

and will i still see everything if i put it at the normal place where eyes would be

[tiny dock]

if you rig the entire head to the head bone the head will be invisible no matter where the viewpoint is

[acoustic trail]

yall i still cannot figure it out. no matter what i do, my expressions mix if you use both hands.

[tiny dock]

you should put the viewpoint slightly in front of the head bone rather than the character's eyes anyways

if you've ever had issues where your character appears to "float" when you look downwards, that's why

[next yew]

oohh okay ty,

[arctic ginkgo]

does anyone know what this chance value does?

i've used the random type parameter driver before, but only on integers and floats

i don't see anything about this value in the docs

does it skew the odds towards 0 or 1? like this:
0 = 100% 0, 0% 1
0.25 = 75% 0, 25% 1
0.5 = 50% 0, 50% 1
0.75 = 25% 0, 75% 1
1 = 0% 0, 100% 1

[proud tusk]

I keep getting this when I try to upload an avatar

[night ember]

submenu

you stick the gogoloco menu into a submenu?

[plain mural]

how to fix fingers?

[short ferry]

anyone here have any spider-man emotes? I can't seem to find any

[hasty grail]

i do wish i could hotswap accounts in the sdk, having to get a new code every time i update shit is so annoying

[sour sphinx]

sooo my instructions are: 3. Expand "Gumboy Run" in the hierarchy, then select "JumpGame" and locate the VRC Parent Constraint in the Inspector. You will need to scroll down to find it.

4. Expand "Sources" and each "Element". Change the Weight slider of the HandRTarget to 0, and the Weight of HandLTarget to 1.

and basically, for the life of me, i cannot find where the parent constraint is? ccan someone tell me

[left gull]

they should show where it is in the .txt file provided

[sour sphinx]

it just says to scroll down, and ive been scrolling down

lol

i cant find it?

[left gull]

try clicking the actual prefab part and see if its on that

ah wait i was looking at the other gumboy assets, for the gumboy run it should be in the Jumpgame section you've just gotta scroll down on the right side

[eternal marsh]

yo

i was wondering if someone could convert this blender file into a unity file since ion got blender

[proud tusk]

?

[restive bronze]

I need some help, I'm gonna rip my hair out. I've tried all I could to optimize my avatar. I've tried crunch comprehension, I've tried decimating polygons and triangles, I've even deleted some pieces off of my model but it has done NOTHING to change the amount of megabytes on this avatar. I feel like I'm going insane

[proud tusk]

try lowering the resolutions on textures without using crunch comprehension

[restive bronze]

absolutely nothing changed

[restive bronze]

still nothing

[turbid lagoon]

I keep getting this in logs every time i try to create a project

My pc crached when i tried to open a project and when it turned back on all my other projects were gone then it started saying that when i tried to create one

[pine folio]

VCC is suddenly taking forever to create a new project? I selected avatar 2022, made the name and clicked create and it's just spinning. for over 20 minutes now.

hmm its saying 'could not check for update, please check your internet connection.' my internet is fine.

[tropic magnet]

do the seats on avatars no longer working with the updates? is there a way to get around this? i have a seat entry, seat exit and the colliders and a vrc station script which i thought would work but my friends aren't able to see the option to sit down on a chair i toggle on anymore

any tips on a direction to fix this is appriciated 🙂

[night ember]

It needs to be enabled by default

Also the collider needs to be a trigger

[hollow maple]

Does anyone know where I can get help uploading a private avatar?

[proud tusk]

when you upload the avatar, it's private by default

[proud tusk]

can someone help me on this?

[hollow maple]

oh, okay

[arctic ginkgo]

use build size veiwer to see what is casuing the issue. if you have a high-poly model, often times the issue is too many blendshapes, which people don't tend to look at

but whatever the issue is for your specific case, build size viewer should help you discover the issue

[restive bronze]

thank you

[chilly iris]

does anyone have an idea why my avatar's head does this when it's being played?

it normally looks like this

[rapid pendant]

why do the fingertips bend in like that?

[carmine robin]

I need help with an avatar, its old i want to get it working in 2022 unity, however the avatar keeps like folding in on itself when uploaded, in unitys playmode its completely fine

its a Kon avatar

[ornate nebula]

https://booth.pm/en/items/4688365
If you don't want to spend too much time on it, we have a prefab that volunteers have made that can be used without an avatar, although this is also an older style.

[proud tusk]

[carmine robin]

remove vrcquesttools from your project, your avatar likely has its own version included, it happens with me now and then

[proud tusk]

how do I remove it?

[carmine robin]

find where its located in the error and left click and then press del key

[frank spruce]

Anyone know why my legs are like this?

it looks fine in unity

pretty sure I just fixed it

[dreamy fulcrum]

i was playing a game earlier with flashlights, and i noticed in my mirror my avatar looked weird with the lighting, how can i fix this?

[hard turtle]

how can i make these eyes less uncanny or are they ok already?

[junior void]

Remember that an eye is wet, so try specular reflections or a clearcoat to simulate that. They look a little like anime eyes

[wispy moon]

Hello, i uploaded my avi again the other night and the constraints i have set are not all working. it seems like some of them are but im not sure?

Seems to be an interaction with bones that are constrained to a physbone affected bone?

i havent changed anything and it was working about a week ago

the constraint also works fine in unity..

this seems to be retroactively applied to previously built avatars, is there a problem with the game right now?

[agile reef]

bumping thiss please help!

[wispy moon]

is there a blend shape making the head itself wider

[junior void]

The hair may be in pieces and you moved them without applying their transforms before exporting?

[agile reef]

no, this isnt the case- the hair at the top like is bending into the head..

[agile reef]

I cant recall moving anything but I dont know how to apply transforms?

[junior void]

if you moved something in object mode you will see the transforms here being uneven

If they are, ctrl + a -> apply all transforms

[agile reef]

mine look like this so I think it's all good

[junior void]

Ye looks okay

Are there any active blendshapes on either the head or the hair that could shrink/widen/offset the position?

[agile reef]

nope, there is no blendshapes on the hair whatsoever and the other blendshapes on the head are the canines in the mouth and those don't do anything to the hair

[junior void]

Also again, if your hair is cut up into different objects, you need to check each one

[agile reef]

the hair is one item

[wispy moon]

check weight painting for any extreneous attachments?

[agile reef]

When I move the head in blender it looks perfectly fine- even normally. it's purely in unity where it looks wonky ;-;

[junior void]

Could it be that you weight painted the hair and that the hair has an excessive amount of bones?

This could also be the result of bone stripping

[agile reef]

it actually doesn't have that many compared to other hairs. I don't think thats the case

I was thinking of potentially just deleting and re-importing it and seeing if it help when I export it

[dense falcon]

hey, people with MediaFire Premium, can you guys dm me? because i rlly need help downloading stuff for an avatar im uploading and i cant download any folders without premium, pls

[vast tendon]

+1

[broken turret]

Guys, I need help. Idk why but when I'm finally ready to upload avatar, I need to click auto fix, which unity ask me to do, but I just don't see any errors :/

[vast tendon]

bumping this, constraints might need to be looked at

[wispy moon]

Did a little more testing (haha look at the test engineer go)

It seems like MY main issue comes from how theyre calculating constraints and physbones.

I have a bone that is affected by a physbone component. It has a parent constraint to another bone that is affected by a different physbone component. The bone with the constraint on it is not being affected by the movements of the bone it is constrained to.

If that makes sense

Does that sound like an issue youre having as well?

[vast tendon]

I have 2 constraints on my glasses , if i grab the left bone, the left constraint gets disabled while the right constraint gets activated and makes the right bone follow the lefts' movement and viceversa

so i guess its similar behavior

[wispy moon]

I see, seems like theyre all sorts of messed up right now. Part of me feels like a lot of the behavioral changes should have been more well explained in the patch notes but nitpick aside, i hope it gets fixed

[vast tendon]

https://feedback.vrchat.com/bug-reports/p/sdk-373-constraint-move-the-bones-set-in-pb-with-animation-constraint-does-not-w

[wispy moon]

Does seem to be physbone related though primarily

If i disabled the physbone on the constrained bone, the constraint worked(?), at least it moved with the bones it was constrained to

Im not sure how well it followed the behavior, i didnt analyze it well, but it looked correct

[vast tendon]

can confirm

just tested, if you disable the PB the constraint works as usual

[wispy moon]

But its not the same behavior because the base bone isnt being acted upon by its own physbone component anymore 💀

Despair consumes me until this is properly fixed

[vast tendon]

i guess it depends on your PB setup, on my end it works like it should, will def wait for an official update before pushing a "workaround fix"

[wispy moon]

Yeah if the base pb wasnt completely immobile then it was influenced by its own PB component. Say, you move it left, its pb moves left, but the bone its constrained to goes right, then the bone wont move very much. Disable the first PB and now you only have a force in the right direction

But thats just my setup.

[noble radish]

For some reason in game physbones on my avatar do not work, but on unity they do.

[junior void]

quest?

[noble radish]

no its a pc avi

[junior void]

Thats rather odd.

Any warnings on the upload screen or in console?

[noble radish]

nope, idk what happened too cus it was fine a few days ago but i get on today and it just not movement.

i think its the new sdk

[junior void]

Unlikely. If physbone broke from an sdk update, this chat would get flooded with angry users

[noble radish]

i think its cus they use constraint's they are the only physbones that arent working.

[junior void]

Yes, this has indeed been all over the place ever since vrc constraints were released. However, they work on my avatar, so check if theres an update available. Perhaps youre on the version that had this issue

[noble radish]

im on 3.7.3

[junior void]

ok

[noble radish]

i did something and now it isnt working unity and in game gahhh

[dense falcon]

Maybe it's a glitch..?

[noble radish]

oh i think i figured it out, i set the physbone to is animated and it looks like its working normally again like how it did

[junior void]

So much for "i didnt do anything, its just not working"

[broken turret]

Welp, Ig it is. I decided to make new project and do everything again, and now I finally uploaded avatar 🥲

Rip nerv cells

[noble radish]

huh?

[graceful wedge]

how da fak do i put my vroid model into vrc

[noble radish]

did u sign out and log back in

usually helps when i get that cus sometimes my validations disappear too

[broken turret]

I fixed problem anyways don't worry

[dense falcon]

Also I need help with this, I can dm you(anyone) the MediaFire link because I don't want the model to be public, but can someone download the folders for me and put them in a Google drive? :^ anyone can dm me to help me pls

[broken turret]

Welp, after upload when I press button "Check in VrChat website" they immediately appear back :V

[broken turret]

Try it next time, might help

[graceful wedge]

someone help me 🙏

[somber verge]

If you don't mind I can help you with that

[graceful wedge]

i just need steps

i dont mind

[somber verge]

Okay good

Can we discuss about it in your dm

[graceful wedge]

why is it always dms

can't we just type it in here

[somber verge]

Hahaha lol we can discuss more about it very well in your dm

[graceful wedge]

sure ig.

[somber verge]

Okay good

[feral isle]

anyone able to help me?

[somber sequoia]

First error: you have a missing script. Either install whatever required package you forgot to install, or delete that script

no, we have no idea what's missing from here, check the creator's docs perhaps

[feral isle]

idk where the script is lol, it was some stuff in the avatar already, just need the script so it all works

[feral isle]

idk much about like the missing script, any place where id be able to get it?

[dawn flame]

i think ur missing a script

[feral isle]

Oh you really think so baby, didnt realise <3-

[dawn flame]

woww u didnt know

u should prolly learn to read ❤️

[feral isle]

Do you know where i can find the script or anything like that_

[somber sequoia]

not without looking at your project

[feral isle]

'

[feral isle]

That right there is all the wholesome lollipop there is in the avi

Been looking around for the script but idk if its the one on gumroad for 20$ or not

[somber sequoia]

lollipop?

[feral isle]

its the missing script in the avi

[somber sequoia]

no idea what you're referring to

[feral isle]

Error at the top here^^

I think thats the only thing making me not able to upload it, and many avatars i've tried to upload had this error, so i figured id ask so i can get more knowledge for the future

[somber sequoia]

so you'll have to search the hierarchy to find where the missing script is on your avatar. we can't do this for you

[feral isle]

I thought the script was just missing completely from the assets and not able to upload because of that

[somber sequoia]

yes

[feral isle]

as i searched in all assets for "Wholesome lollipop" it also doesnt look like there is any scripts in general, just the materials

[somber sequoia]

there's a script component somewhere on your avatar, which requires some actual package installed, which you don't have installed. You either install the whatever, or find the script component and remove it

[feral isle]

Well i know as much as its the "wholesome lollipop" that is missing but i dont have any of the downloads for it at all.

[violet torrent]

Im having some trouble, where Im trying to get earings to attach to my avatar, which works fine, but theyre in the wrong spot. How would I go about fixing that?

[junior void]

If they have their own armature, you must move their bones to position them right

[violet torrent]

They look like they're in the right spot to me, just they are in a different spot once I go into playmode

[junior void]

How are you attaching them

[violet torrent]

VRCFury and armature Links and blendshape links

[junior void]

Have you expanded the advanced options and set keep offset to yes?

[violet torrent]

I have not! Ill set it to yes and report back

Thank you :3

[violet torrent]

Okay one thing now is that it attaches itself to head instead of to the ear, I dont exactly know how I would fix that though since the Link to (Avatar) Menu doesnt have all the bones of the avatar

[somber sequoia]

I'd do this in Blender 🙂

[junior void]

Sounds like you need to take it to blender, yea

[wraith geyser]

hello, i've got a small glitch with my avi, looks fine in blender but in unity a vertex is like missplaced and a poly is stretched in the back

any ideas?

[junior void]

Any errors in the fbx import screen or console?

[somber sequoia]

probably a vertex missing weight paint

[junior void]

Those are okay-ish and shouldnt cause this

It would say that kaz

[somber sequoia]

or lacking enough weight paint 🙂

[junior void]

Fair

Sneak

[winged matrix]

I'm pretty sure it got answered a few times in here already, but I don't know how to import any .vrm file to VRChat (made in Blender)

Do I really need to install Unity as well?

Or is there like another solution to his

[somber sequoia]

You absolutely need Unity to upload an avatar into VRChat

[wraith geyser]

any advice on how to locate this missing vertex? coz i cant find it in blender

[somber sequoia]

ooh that's harder

[junior void]

Try weight -> limit total

[unique cloud]

Heya - I've been trying to adjust the arm length for some personal avs in unity, they aren't far off, but any attempt to scale the arm bones is just ignored within vrc. I tried both the hierarchy as well as the humanoid rig configuration

[junior void]

Use blender, pose the length and set it as rest pose :)

[unique cloud]

ah problem is I can't apply as rest pose since the meshes rigged to it have shapekeys, so I can't apply the deformation

tried that too D:

[junior void]

I use cats to regularly pose my avatar and change bone lengths by clicking "apply as rest pose" without a problem

Youre not using a modifier

[unique cloud]

hmmm maybe it has some extra features to apply to the basis shapekey or something?

[wraith geyser]

ope it didnt seems to have worked sadly

[unique cloud]

and yeah I just hit apply as rest pose, and the bones stay in place but the meshes revert

[junior void]

Try cats then, i swear it works

[unique cloud]

oki, is there a more complete name I can look up

?

oh I found it

[raven orbit]

maybe off topic now but there is a plugin to apply modifiers on meshes with shapekeys (https://github.com/przemir/ApplyModifierForObjectWithShapeKeys)

[unique cloud]

oh that's also good to have!

[raven orbit]

yeah i use it a lot

[unique cloud]

good for when I accidentally forget to apply a mirror before shapekeying <.<

[somber sequoia]

I use this a LOT too

[unique cloud]

and ok cats seems to have worked, now to try it

[junior void]

^_^

[unique cloud]

thanks a lot!

time to test

[arctic helm]

anyone had any issues with attaching hair?
trying to attach a hair not made for the right avatar, and some bones work, some not

[wraith geyser]

anyway to mirror the blendshape from the left to right side please?

[somber sequoia]

I don't have blender open but there's "symmetrize" in one of the menus, I think "Mesh"?

it may not work very well - usually I edit with mirroring on rather than attempting to do this after the fact

[wraith geyser]

it seems to have worked this time tho 🙂

[somber sequoia]

oh nice

[wraith geyser]

nvm, ill delete this blendshape and start it from scratch

[junior void]

Copy the blendshape by using "new shape from mix" (so the original must be enabled for this to work). Now you have a dupe. If your mesh is symmetrical, use "mirror shape key" option on that dupe. If not, try the topology mirror option instead

And well, now you can basically activate both and do again "new shape from mix"

This is how i regularly mirror my blendshapes and make "l", "r" and "both sides" ones

[wraith geyser]

thanks Zero you are my hero

[unique cloud]

So the arm length thing works great! been testing making my av's snout visible in first person with head chop, it does work, but it also moves around in my field of view when moving my head, which is a bit uh, weird xD - is head chop the wrong way to do this or am I on the right track?

[dusk pulsar]

Use UV Tile Discard, easier. But won't work on quest side

[junior void]

Head chop is the right way to do it

[unique cloud]

oh I mean like, to show something in first person view, it's just not clamped to my headset's movement so it slides across my field of vision a bit

[junior void]

I just never used it. Wdym with "move"?

[dusk pulsar]

I've missed something. What is head chop

[junior void]

I cant imagine what that means

[unique cloud]

like if I turn my head to the side or tilt it, it'll slide upward a bit and then slide back into position

tried it with my glasses etc too, same thing

[junior void]

A relatively new component for exaclty what hes doing

[unique cloud]

yeah it's like, to allow things on your head to be shown in first person, it works fine but it's not linked to my headset's motion but to the motion of the avatar's head, which apparently differs sometimes

[somber sequoia]

amusingly it's kinda anti-head chop

[unique cloud]

from what I saw you can also use it to hide things not on the head in fpv, which might be useful

best I can tell is sometimes the avatar will move on its own a bit in 3-point tracking, so the head will move independently of the headset briefly, and you see this as the fpv items sliding in front of you a bit, generally moving up and back down across the field of vision. I might wait to see if we get fixes for that in the future, because being able to see my own snout is nice, but having it jitter and slide is less so xD

[junior void]

i think i saw this before somewhere...

[unique cloud]

did some googling, but sadly only found a couple of tutorials for what I'm doing, and I've done those steps exactly xD

[violet torrent]

Im trying to attach a bracelet to my avatar with VRCFury but when im trying to do BlendShape Link it wont let me select the bracelet as a Skinned Mesh

[somber sequoia]

Make sure you're selecting the actual mesh object and not a prefab or armature

[clear pawn]

brah

why aren't my packages uploading and showing up where they usually go

can someone tell me where to find it

[somber sequoia]

packages?

[clear pawn]

like for example, vrc quest tools, it'd be at the top next to all of these options, but stuff i import wont show up

like up here

[somber sequoia]

up where exactly?

[somber sequoia]

you mean in the menu?

[clear pawn]

yeah

i think?

[somber sequoia]

do you have an error in the console?

[clear pawn]

no, it's a fresh one

theres nothing else imported

[somber sequoia]

maybe check the package manager window, make sure things you think are installed are actually installed

[clear pawn]

i found it but idk how it works

well wtv

[last ingot]

ok this is embarrassing, but would anyone help walk me through uploading an avatar? I used to know how to do it, I just need a refresher.
my DMs are open, any help would be very appreciated

[junior void]

youre more likely to receive help asking here rather than dms. try asking specific questions. "uploading" could entail a lot. did you import the model yet? did you open a scene the maker maybe included? did you log in to the sdk panel?

[somber sequoia]

Follow tutorials, ask questions when you're stuck

[hoary plover]

Is it possible to upload a private avatar as a new user or is all types of avatar uploading unavailable until you rank up?

[somber sequoia]

I believe you can upload a test one but it'll only show for you

[hoary plover]

Aw dang, guess I can't be too surprised but unfortunate yet understandable

is there an estimate on how long it would take to get to a rank where I can upload?

[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

[somber sequoia]

you could also get VRC+ to rank up immediately.

[hoary plover]

I must be missing the friends I guess cause I got a few hours and played a few worlds

dang, yeah I dont know if I wanna spend 10 dollars just to get my model incase I learn that the conversion plugin broke the model

thanks for the help

[somber sequoia]

well you can test that part already

[hoary plover]

oh yeah you mentioned a test upload, how do I do that? sorry multitasking and missed that part for a second

[somber sequoia]

well you can test most things in the editor itself, but in the SDK console where you have the "build and upload" button is a build and test option

I'm waiting for unity to load or I'd be more specific 🙂

[last ingot]

ah, fair enough.
I know how to import a model and assets like Poi, I do not remember how to open the sdk or the scene.

[somber sequoia]

again, there are intro tutorials to walk you though this part

[last ingot]

alrighty.

[somber sequoia]

definitely come here with specific questions though

[hoary plover]

gotcha, thanks!

[mellow pulsar]

I'm new to avatar stuff, only recently figured out how to set up and upload an avatar. I have a PC and Quest version of an avatar ready, but how do I link them instead of uploading them separately?

[somber sequoia]

Upload one, copy the BlueprintID from that one and paste it into the "Pipeline Manager" component (near your avatar descriptor) of the other, then upload it.

[mellow pulsar]

where do I find the "blueprint ID"?

[somber sequoia]

in the pipline manager component, or the avatar list in the "content manager" tab in the SDK window

[mellow pulsar]

ah ok thanks

how do I paste it into the pipeline manager? Doesn't seem to let me change it

[somber sequoia]

click detatch first

[mellow pulsar]

oh perfect, thanks

man it's annoying working with avatars that don't make certain components easy to find. I'm trying to find the eye camera for this one so I can adjust the position but it's like the avatar creator hid it

[somber sequoia]

if you mean the viewpoint, make sure you turn on gizmos, little globe in the upper-right of the scene view

[mellow pulsar]

Gizmos are on. Even searching for viewpoint in the hierarchy doesn't show anything

[somber sequoia]

it's not in the hierarchy, it's in the avatar descriptor

[mellow pulsar]

well damn that would explain it 💀

[wraith geyser]

hello, im trying to make my avi close their eyes only if have both hands open, i thought that would be as easy as that

but it doesnt work, if i do the gesture with only one hand it still do the animation

[somber sequoia]

it should be as easy as that, perhaps you have another animation doing stuff too?

[wraith geyser]

i dont think so

[fleet sundial]

Any reason why the clothes on my avatar wont bend at the elbows but it fine everywhere else, like everything else works up until it reaches that elbow point but the weight painting seem correct on it

[somber sequoia]

my first thought is weight painting 🙂

[sour sphinx]

how to i combine blink L and blink R so i can have one beldshape thats both eyes blkinking?

[somber sequoia]

Enable both and nothing else, then in the dropdown to the right of the shapekey list is "new shape from mix"

[mossy jacinth]

i have a very weird problem, one of my props only shows up in the mirror, has anyone ever had this issue?

[junior void]

Is it added via vrcf?

[sour sphinx]

thank u!

[wheat eagle]

Hello, I have an avatar with heart beat audio source on it and I want to make it wo sound's radius stays the same when changing avatar's height. How should I implement that? I"ve saw ScaleFactor parameter, but it's not 0-1 parameter which makes me confused on how to use that

[fleet sundial]

Yeah I added the clothes via VRCF

[junior void]

Check info messages on the script. It may be telling you that the lower arm bone of the clothes is named differently than on your base, thus "not having a match" and that "it will be added as new children".
You will be able to see the armature changes in play mode

[fleet sundial]

It says exactly that, what do I gotta do to remedy it?

[sour sphinx]

does anyone have a image of a metal i can use to get it to be like pink like how it is on the right picture? my metal is shiny which i like, but its not pink or a light color

[somber sequoia]

probably you can use a matcap and just tint it by changing the base color in the shader

[junior void]

It matches bones by names. Renaming bones of the clothes to fit the base should work. It may be cap sensitive also

[fleet sundial]

I’ll see what I can do once I am back, thanks so much for the help❤️

[strange gorge]

Dose anyone know where I can find the nightbeast base model? or if anyone has it?

[left gull]

make a post in #1138520828556890214 though im pretty sure you need to join SturmWolf's server and already legally own the Novabeast base to obtain it (not sure if it costs extra to get the edit or if its free in their server though)

[hot mica]

does anyone know how to set up wetcat's locofix? i try to add the base layer but i keep getting issues with my parameters

[somber sequoia]

just add the missing parameters to your parameter list

probably also upgrade that outdated Unity

[spark walrus]

I'm trying to animator stuff, I show off what i"m trying to do and what I'm confused with in this video

tdlr, Trying to make like, a swap between anims, for this model, I have a caution anims and a safe anims, I'm trying to make it loop? where I can switch between em in the menu and stuff, it's hard to explain

[turbid lagoon]

liltoon now help now texture now pls pls pls pls

[junior void]

Try a whole sentence

[turbid lagoon]

help liltoon pls pls help

no texture how

[somber sequoia]

no idea what you are asking

sorry

[turbid lagoon]

How do I change the face textures and stuff in liltoon for booth avis heheh

liltoon how

[somber sequoia]

there are slots where textures go, you can put whatever textures you want into those slots

[turbid lagoon]

i tried that but it didnt work

like some textures i get are only textures and not materials

[somber sequoia]

textures are never materials. Textures go into materials, materials get applied to faces on your avatar's mesh objects.

[heavy zephyr]

I've watched your video twice and still have no idea what you are trying to achieve, mind trying to explain differently?

[somber sequoia]

I can't put the sound on at the moment, so I didn't quite get it either

[heavy zephyr]

Even with sound it's like "I'm trying to do this but like not exactly and like... It doesn't work"

[somber sequoia]

huh ok.

[fleet sundial]

@junior void this did work I appreciate it a lot.

[cinder flare]

Hi all, curious about something - is there a way to ensure that a child object does not animate with its parent? For instance, when AFK is triggered, the default animation gently spins the avatar back and forth - I'd like it so my asset attached to the hips does not follow this rotation motion

I think there might be a way to do something with constraints, but I haven't used them before so I'm not certain

[somber sequoia]

yeah anything you don't want to move with the avatar would have to be constrained to a world object instead

[cinder flare]

though, doesn't that mean if the avatar is moved (i.e. a game world teleports the person somewhere), then the asset will be left behind? I suppose there must be some way to still tie the **position **to the avatar but have the **rotation **constrained to world

[somber sequoia]

Should be doable, yeah

[cinder flare]

I'll read the docs on the new VRC constraints and see if I can figure it out. Thanks for confirming a starting point

[sleek bluff]

how do i decrease memory texture usage?

[night ember]

make the textures smaller

[sleek bluff]

kk

[somber sequoia]

also potentially use fewer textures

[dense saffron]

is there any info when they will correct the constraint fkup ??? like hotfix / rollback / any news at all

[somber sequoia]

specifically which issue do you mean?

[dense saffron]

If I export an asset with vrc parent constraints and then import it into another project all the sources are empty

I swapped it back to unity components and that seems to work but isn’t ideal and now I have the issue that when I compile the project and it converts the unity components to vrc ones the sources disappear too not sure if that is an ask issue or not haven’t hand enough time to test it

[somber sequoia]

you're on the latest SDK?

I haven't seen that one but I kept having issues with constraints in prefabs, that seems to be better so far but it's still kinda weird and I keep having to just reset everything

[dense saffron]

Yes latest sdk

[hexed walrus]

When I enable my outfit, my legs disappear for some reason.

[arctic ginkgo]

yes use a rotation constraint

use the appropriate constriaint for the values you want to be constrained to the world (rotation constraint, position constraint, scale constraint)

[olive mauve]

Does anyone know exactly where this is im struggling to find it!

[somber sequoia]

which shader?

[olive mauve]

Unity Chan Toon Shader I wouldnt be shocked if nobody knows this since its barely used by anything but thought I would ask in case

[stable igloo]

How can I fix eye clipping like this when doing gestures?

[somber sequoia]

often that's multiple gestures happening at once - check for that, and if it's just a single blendshape active, you may have to reshape it or decrease how much the animation sets it

[lapis raft]

If anybody knows an answer please let me know ;-;
I had an issue where my avatar has a weird "idle?" pose (This also happens in game in VRC) . The leg and the arm move slightly backward and the neck goes slightly up. Im not sure what is going on here. Ive already put the same FBX in a new unity project where the error stayed. So in blender i already applied the transforms, and reset the pose.

[limpid yew]

Her arms can't handle the thickness

[lapis raft]

I wish the answer was that simple 😭

I dont get it and am i need of help 🙃

[visual tartan]

i didnt touch the body or the bones and i hit play and go too gesture manager and now this is happening

[limpid yew]

I actually am on Android so I can't really make any good avatars and I'm stuck with low physics fakes🥲 so I don't think I can help but I wish u luck

[arctic ginkgo]

?

[spiral lance]

hey, im trying to get my avatar under the new limit, but im confused?? im looking at the website and the limit is 200 and the uncompressed size is 500mb, and its under both limits. what do i do?

[arctic ginkgo]

android mobile or android quest?

[spiral lance]

and the warning doesnt appear in the sdk

[arctic ginkgo]

even if it's mobile you can make good avatars

and idk what you mean fake physics, physbones are the same on PC and Android

[limpid yew]

No I've tried it doesn't work 😭 I have made some but they actually suck I can't really make them any better cause there's a limit

[somber sequoia]

so what's the actual problem, is there an error message?

[visual tartan]

does anybody know what is happening here

[spiral lance]

the problem is i cant wear the avatar. and its under both limits

[arctic ginkgo]

if you wanted you could have 32 bones in each buttcheek

[somber sequoia]

can you be a lot more specific? what does "can't wear" mean exactly?

[arctic ginkgo]

then you'd have no physics elsewhere, but in any case, you don't need any more than 3 per cheek

and that's a lot anyways

1 or 2 will do the trick

[spiral lance]

I cannot select the avatar, it tells me it failed the security check

[somber sequoia]

damn that's a lot of triangles

[limpid yew]

But like there solid there hair doesn't move or anything and the good ones are very poor or only for pc

[arctic ginkgo]

you can add physics to the hair

[limpid yew]

Ya or that

[arctic ginkgo]

all my avatars have hair physics

[limpid yew]

The robot

[arctic ginkgo]

that either means your avatar is super unoptimized or you have something specific wrong with your avatar that triggers it (self destructive particles/trails, broken scripts in the project)

[somber sequoia]

^^ this for you too @spiral lance

[arctic ginkgo]

also has nothing to do with physics

usually is particles, texture size, etc

[limpid yew]

Also it's extremely hard to find avatars in general that work for Android

[arctic ginkgo]

for mobile yeah

[spiral lance]

i've downsized all my textures, and its under the 200mb limit, so im just confused

[arctic ginkgo]

but that's kinda the fault of the creators

[limpid yew]

I'm on mobile I was trying to say that😭

[arctic ginkgo]

people should optimize their avatars 🤷

idk why everyone acts like it's so hard to make optimized avatars

it fs is hard to optimize poor avatars that you didn't make

but that wouldn't be an issue if people selling avatars optimized them 🙃

[limpid yew]

Yea😭

[arctic ginkgo]

also a tip for physbones, don't add leaf bones when exporting your fbx

instead use end points

if your bones are angled correctly, this should be a positive number on the Y axis

this will give you more useful physbone transforms

the leaf bones add unnecceary transforms, causing creators avatars to 1) be ranked worse and 2) remove physbones that don't need to be removed

[visual tartan]

Anybody know how too solve this

[somber sequoia]

not sure what I'm seeing there

[visual tartan]

nvm i fixed it

[limpid yew]

What's a good way to make or fix any on mobile

[marble glen]

Hi everyone, does anyone know how to put a tattoo on an avatar? I’d love some help as I’m a beginner lol

[last ingot]

I figured out out to upload again (yay!) but now I'm stuck with this and I'm not sure what to do. Everything else has been fine up until this point
I restarted the project too just to make sure it wasnt that

[somber sequoia]

You'll have to reduce that, that's huge.

remove audio, decrease texture sizes, remove excess outfits, remove props or other items you don't use, etc, etc.

[last ingot]

I bought this avatar, so I would prefer to keep everything on it

[arctic ginkgo]

then you won't be able to upload

it'll be stuck in unity

[limpid yew]

Sunshine don't abandon me now I need to do this 😭

[last ingot]

...I realize that.

[somber sequoia]

hard limits are hard limits, you don't really have a choice here

[last ingot]

how would I go about decreasing texture sizes, then?

[somber sequoia]

there's lots of discussion in #avatar-optimization and probably tutorials. unless you have lots of 8k textures, probably you'll have to do more than just make textures smaller

but for a given texture file, in the inspector at the bottom are some settings for size

[last ingot]

ah, okay, thank you.

[arctic ginkgo]

sorry idk what you're asking

you can have physbones on mobile

it's the same limits as quest, it just has to be poor or better

[limpid yew]

Like how do I make avatars and stuff

Or is that only pc:(

[raven orbit]

need unity to make avatars so yeah kinda a pc only thing

[limpid yew]

Aw🥲

[spark walrus]

chat

where do i find an avatar for a dude

that isnt as whitewashed as the snow

or isnt emo as a punk rock band

[arctic ginkgo]

you don't want emo boys? :(

[gilded vector]

where do i put the mixed ao of a texure inblender, i havent been able to find anywhere that explaisn it for vrchat avi's, the texure for this pair of socks i got is invisible in the material mode (color and shading) mode but not in solid

[split crown]

quick question, dealing with avi turning into a ball in play mode, any fix for this in blender exports?

[gilded vector]

go to #1138520828556890214

[spark walrus]

no😭

[spark walrus]

i just did

its all emo boys

😭😭😭

im cooked

[gilded vector]

make a post urself and ask

[spark walrus]

all the ones asking for a regular guy with a hood have zero responses😭😭

[somber sequoia]

it's kinda complicated, there's no place to put that, you have to do some math I totally forget. I looked it up at one point, but really I just don't bother

[gilded vector]

its better to at least ask anyway

[spark walrus]

i’d honestly wear the emo outfits if they weren’t snow white or 20 shaders darker then me

[gray oak]

My Nightmare 😭, well its my first time making an avatar but i dont know why the camera view its broken completly

[gilded vector]

ill see if can search furthur or just check in unity thx ^^

[gilded vector]

skin tone option/radial menu

[somber sequoia]

Yeah I found it last time I searched - I just don't remember what the answer was

[spark walrus]

where

[gilded vector]

some avi's have it some dont but whats ur best bet imo

[spark walrus]

sobbing

sneezing

farting

[gilded vector]

have u not found anything in prismics avi search?

[spark walrus]

i searched puerto rico and 1 came up

it was the country ball

search up brown

and i get horse furries and stuff like that

[gilded vector]

uhhhhhh

people name their public avi's a lot so maybe search up random names

that helped me once

[gray oak]

for some reason its view like this and not on the head

any idea why?

[spark walrus]

its shocking to me bruh cuz theres like no brown people😭😭😭

theres not even a tan in #1138520828556890214

if you search up tan

theres nothing💔

[somber sequoia]

color is at least reasonably easy to edit

(I'm aware it's not just about color)

[iron ravine]

Hi any chance I could get some help on finding this skin? 😭

I got told I can find it under "Rudeus Greyrat - Ronoa" but I can't find it anywhere

I just installed the game so idk

[gilded vector]

try image searching it something that shows up but looking for avatars should got into #1138520828556890214

[iron ravine]

Oh sorry

I'll post there

[gilded vector]

its ok

[iron ravine]

I tried looking it up but no results

even Reverse Image Search is just Twt accs retweeting it

[still moon]

How do u look at avatar toggles on pc?

[ornate stump]

Your question really doesn't make sense. You might have to rephrase or elaborate further.

[still moon]

So yk how there are like toggles for avatars?

[still moon]

I want to know how u can look at those toggles on pc

[still moon]

Srry I’m not very good at explaining lol

[left gull]

POC avatars are a bit rarer to find but alot of western models include skin toggles to make the skin darker (though their cover/shop pictures often will just show the white skin variation) if you make a post in #1138520828556890214 with a description of the style,body type w/e that you're looking for people could probably link you some

[ornate stump]

I'm not sure what you mean by "look" for the toggle.

[still moon]

I mean I can’t find were u can find the toggles like idk if there is a key I have to click on my pc or if I just can’t do it

[ornate stump]

Do you actually mean open radial menu? Hold R key.

[still moon]

I think so lemme try rq

[ornate stump]

At least should be asking how to open toggle menu. "looking" just had too broad of meaning.

[still moon]

Yeah srry ab that and ty smm

[fallow fiber]

hey quick question, if an avatar i made is set to private will other people be able to clone it if i leave my cloning on by accident?

[dreamy fulcrum]

if its set to private in unity no one should be able to clone it no matter what

[fallow fiber]

ahh okay thank u!

[spark walrus]

https://discord.com/channels/189511567539306508/1305396732284112977

do you think thats good?

[left gull]

it'd work yeah but bumping more then once per 10 mins doesnt do anything and more then twice a day will eventually get your post locked

[spark walrus]

also wdym by western models

where do i find those

[left gull]

sites like jinxxy are good for searching for them but the actual purchasing is usually hosted on payhip or gumroad

[spark walrus]

is there free ones on jinxxy?

[left gull]

with what you're looking for i dont think so

[spark walrus]

wait

is e-boy under western or anime

[left gull]

like the buff ones?

[spark walrus]

like the ones in hoodies n baggy jeans

[left gull]

eh most likely

when i say western models i mean like models created by westerners rather then uh... foreigners? im not sure what they call themselves

[spark walrus]

oh

murrricans

[left gull]

for example booth models are mainly non-western curated content so more anime-y

but those big buff e-boy models are literally only made by westerners

[spark walrus]

yeah no i dont really need buff n shit

hold on one sec

ill try to send a reference

like i kinda need something like this

just for a darker skin tone

ykwim?

@left gull

[ornate stump]

Do you want to make or do you want to find?

[spark walrus]

find

my 3¢ in my card cannot make anything rn😭😭

[ornate stump]

Ask in #1138520828556890214

[left gull]

yeah post that specific pic in your post

ik its a public model somewhere

[spark walrus]

now we wait

[arctic ginkgo]

does anyone know an alternative to buildsizeviewer that works on mac?

or how to get buildsizeviewer to work on mac

[solid knoll]

Is there something going on with avatars? A few of my older avatars failed security check and one happened while I was wearing it...

[arctic ginkgo]

trying to add a tarot card asset to my partner's avatar but it's PC only. I want to convert to quest but the filesize is just a couple mbs too big

have been lowering texture size, compressing, etc, but it'd be helpful to know what assets are the exact issue

because I'd like for this to remain legible

[dreamy fulcrum]

why is certain assets being shaded differently from others when using spot lights? i changed the anchor overrides to all be the chest bone, and it happens no matter the material i use (standard and poiyomi)

what else could i possibly do to have even lighting?

changes depending on where i am at in the light

[proper depot]

The viewpoint is too high, gotta move the viewpoint down to between the eyes in unity ^^

[proper depot]

Did u reimport the fbx?

[rustic swan]

does anyone know how to get this glitter effect on poiymi? idk if its a matcap or what

[rustic swan]

sry 4 tiny image

[earnest jay]

Which ones should i turn on to make my life easier aside from vrcfury poiyomi and modular?

[dark jay]

How do i fix black outline clipping in with poi

[somber meadow]

Gesture Manager lets you test the avatar within Unity, but that's really about it

[earnest jay]

what ab av3emu?

[somber meadow]

Gesture Manager will do the same thing, just lighter weight

other packages are need to use basis, it highly depends on your use case/workflow

[earnest jay]

ah alright ^^

[somber meadow]

but gesture manager is pretty much a must have

[placid mural]

Hi, I have a problem. I wanted to make a folding phone and to open it I used the script С# Speed Calculator. But it can't be downloaded. Are there any substitutions?
*Translated with the help of a translator *

[ashen trench]

Sorry for low quality pic but anyone have this problem before?

-# cannot generate normals for blendshape ‘bigger waist 1’ on mesh ‘body’, mesh has no smoothing groups
And it goes on to list every blendshape, can’t set the avi to humanoid from this

[prisma sedge]

Those are just warnings. You can just ignore those as they shouldn't stop you from uploading

[ashen trench]

Problem is i can’t set the avatar to humanoid with the warnings, wouldn’t it just be stuck in T-pose since the animations wouldn’t work?

[somber sequoia]

pretty sure those warnings won't prevent that

[ashen trench]

I’m not sure but It won’t let me set it to humanoid, I don’t know why or how to fix it

[junior void]

Perhaps inspector is locked

Or armature missing

[undone shale]

so i made an avatar years ago right for a girl i eventually made my gf lmao. anyways i want to change the description on it. but its been so long

anyone remember how to change that?

[junior void]

Log in through the sdk panel in unity. Itll show you all your content after where you can just edit the names, desc and images. Just dont forget to click the update button. You dont need to upload the avi

[undone shale]

damn im gonna have to DL all that again alright let see ty for now

i don't even remember what version i used

[junior void]

Use the creator companion. Itll tell you whats the latest supported unity and give you a nice way to keep up to date with all kinds of packages

[spark walrus]

how do i see box ?

white lines

[undone shale]

got the unity and creator companion

time to get the SDK if i remember how to again

[white crystal]

anyone knows what could be causing this? ive been trying everything today adn nothing seems to work! it was working yesterday but now it gives me this weird error

[prisma sedge]

The creator companion puts the sdk into the projects for you

[undone shale]

thanks, i see i need a license now for unity thats right this was 2 years ago

[prisma sedge]

You get that through unity hub

[undone shale]

roger

[spark walrus]

how to see box lines?

[dire lava]

Good afternoon lovely people, im having some troubles with phys bones, i know i have them enabled and on the correct bones, but for some reason when i enter play mode it seems they dont work? if anyone knows the solution to this i would greatly appreciate it <3

[spark walrus]

i know how physcolliders work

[dire lava]

it isnt so much as the colliders dont work, but they phys bones just dont move?

[spark walrus]

need to see screenshot

of the physbone component

and ur mesh

[dire lava]

this?

sorry, im quite new to doing avis and im not sure what a mesh is

[spark walrus]

it is 1 bone?

[dire lava]

theres the root bone and the end bone

[spark walrus]

so it is one bone

end bone dont count

[dire lava]

ohh, okioki

so do i jus add another-?

[spark walrus]

not in blender

in physbone u extend it

[dire lava]

is that a setting?

[spark walrus]

it needs at least 2 bones, so u add oen

yes

[dire lava]

like this?

[spark walrus]

endpoint position

extend it

[undone shale]

got everything i think, at the content manager in SDK only question is i don't see a description or customization button

[spark walrus]

i think it was this

u need to increase one of these v alues

[dire lava]

what should i set it to?

[spark walrus]

to extand ur bone

and it creates another bone

play around wqith it

till u see ur bojnme grow

[dire lava]

oki <3

sorry, not quite sure what the bone even looks like or what im looking for...

[spark walrus]

thin lines

unfortunately i deleted all my projects otherwise I could show u now

I reinstalled windows

lol

a week ago or so

[dire lava]

i dont see any lines :'3

[spark walrus]

when u add physbonesu should see the bones

as lines

[dire lava]

sry, im not sure if im looking at the correct stuff

thank you for all ur help <3

[lapis raft]

Is this there anyone who could understands this problem?

[dire lava]

i think i found it, although when i enter play mode theres still no movement

[azure widget]

Having an issue where Validations in the builder is empty, and my console is flooded with errors. anyone know how to fix this?

[light charm]

have you tried closing the project and opening it again?

[azure widget]

just tried it, that doesn't seem to have worked sadly T~T

[light charm]

😬

[spark walrus]

u mean eveyrthiing is frozen?

go to scene mode

window

while playing

[dire lava]

i go to scene mode and move my avi, all the other bones move fine, im jus not quite sure why these ones dont

[spark walrus]

cuz need 2 bones, the physbones add an extra bone if u extand bone length there

2 bones r needed to make physbones work

otherwise no movemenbt

did u watch the physbone tutorial?

im prettyu sure it is the setting i showed u

[dire lava]

i thought i made 2-..?

[spark walrus]

by extanding ur 'endpoiint['' u add a bone

yes

these are 2

[dire lava]

even after doing that it still doesnt move

[undone shale]

where change description here yes :p

[spark walrus]

i forgot what root transform war

try adding ur bone there

@dire lava

[dire lava]

still doesnt seem to work

it jus dont like meh, that must be it :'3

o:

waitwait

i got one workingggg

[spark walrus]

how?

[dire lava]

idk wuh i didddd

:'3

yeyyy, oki it workie now :3

[spark walrus]

so what was the mistake?

[azure widget]

hey could you send my a screenshot of the inspector of your physbones? Ive actually been having a similar issue on a different Avi of mine!

[dire lava]

i just swapped these 2 around, the end one was on the bottom, but it wrks when its on top

[azure widget]

omg omg omg im gonna go try this on my avi and see if that fixes it

[dire lava]

wishing u luck <3

[undone shale]

so anyone know how to change the desc on an existing published avatar whilst no longer having the avatar?

due to a new pc 2+ years lol

[dire lava]

sadly i dont think you can as cannot update on website & can only update desc upon the upload of avi, there may be a way, but i dont think there is

[undone shale]

thats why i thought it was this

apparently an update button?

[dire lava]

i cant see any button like that sowy

[azure widget]

NOOOoo

it didnt work, unfortunately

[dire lava]

awh

sorrys

[undone shale]

its in the builder tab however i think like you said thats when you upload

[azure widget]

its all good, im sure Ill figure that out later on

[azure widget]

mostly still just trying to figure this out

[dire lava]

that is a little weird...sorry, not quite sure what those error msgs mean-

[azure widget]

it just?? started working again with no input from me???

h-huh??? I mean Ill take it, but Im so confused. I just tabbed back in to see it working again

[dire lava]

thats great!

[undone shale]

figured it out, as a heads up to anyone who cares. you basically try to upload it for android then it says "update avatar" just change the desc thats all make sure the ID is the same as your listed one.

[junior void]

I fogot about the decscriptor, thats my bad, sorry. Glad you figured it out tho

[undone shale]

Np

Ty

[azure widget]

not sure why it's doing this, but it only seems to play audio some of the time when I press the button in my radial menu. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know!

[slim prairie]

Just uploaded a completely new Avi, uploaded perfectly and everything. Logged in and immediately gives me Security Checks failed. I have no idea why, it's been happening to some of the older avatars I've uploaded. It's a brand new error to me, all of these avis worked perfectly before. Anyway provide any guidance of why a completely new upload has done this? I'm fully up to date with the VRCC and the SDK

[left gull]

it generally happens because something on your model exceeds the set limits

what do your model stats look like in unity?

[slim prairie]

I mean they're all very poor, but at the same time, just yesterday I uploaded a model that has the same and that's completely fine

[left gull]

oh yuck

[slim prairie]

It's never done this to any other I've uploaded

[left gull]

you deff need to optimize your stuff but fix your textures and it should remove the security check

[slim prairie]

No clue how but thanks

[left gull]

for the texture issue there should be a auto-fix button if you expand the tab more

[slim prairie]

Let me have a look real quick

[left gull]

i also recc just looking into merging materials and atlasing your textures (perhaps some meshes too or just making diff models for diff outfits if thats why theres so many mesh renderers) as what you've got rn is a lag machine

[slim prairie]

But this has never stopped one of my avatars before, I uploaded one that exceeds the limits before and that has no issues, the security checks are fine

Okay so I fixed the issue

[left gull]

oh yeah other then that texture memory error this model should upload im just saying for the sake of others who have to see your model you should still optimize

[slim prairie]

I just reuploaded it

and now it works

[boreal condor]

honestly, as the only one who worked on that project for the past years and by now abandoned it, use something else :3

[hard flume]

hello idk where else to ask this so I have a radial puppet 0 to 100 thing and I also have a physbone that stretches, i want it so that at a certain point of the stretch that the radial puppet will increase by like 0.1 or 0.2; is there a way to achieve that?

[sleek storm]

I am working on an avatar that is supposed to have a emission blink animation when a heart beat event is received via OSC.
I have an animation for the emission value and set the layer as additive in the fx controller.
Only the emission strength is changed in the animation but for some reason the base color is affected.
When I turn off additive animation everything works as expected.
The only reason I use additive in the first place is so that I can set the base emission strength using another toggle.
Any ideas why this is happening?

[somber sequoia]

Don't change the same thing from multiple places. What I'd probably do here instead is have the heartbeat add to the variable used for the base strength, using VRC Avatar Parameter Driver

[sleek storm]

Can I have it animate using the parameter driver?

[somber sequoia]

sure

it just sets/adds/etc. another value, you can do whatever you want with that, though it's a thing you add to an animation state in the animator, not an animation clip itself.

[sleek storm]

What I mean is that I couldn't smoothly increase and decrease the emission right?

[somber sequoia]

ah, that'd be pretty tricky to do with this

[sleek storm]

I'll probably just hardcode the base emission strength then

Or I might be able to use the transition instead of an animation

[solid knoll]

A few of my old avatars just had this happen too.
I was literally wearing an avatar and loaded into a new world and it says security check failed...Now that avatar is gone and it's one of my fav personal uploads. 😭

And I don't have the project anymore for it to try and reupload it.

Literally scared to change avatars long less hop worlds and it happen again...

[subtle sigil]

how can i fix this arm twist?

[hasty grail]

Q: is there a tool for updating prams? like i have a bunch of fluffXYZ ones but i want to make them fluff/XYZ so its better on the selection menus

[junior void]

Why dms and not just ask here what you need?

[sleek storm]

Turns out additive animation does work.
The problem was in the shader (poyomi) due to having hue shift set in one of the decals.
Not sure how that parameter is supposed to work but now it's fine after setting it to 0.

[balmy plover]

what do you need help with?

[somber sequoia]

ah very nice

[somber sequoia]

like do a find/replace? Not really.... but the menu is stored in a YAML file so you could just edit it with a text editor...

[hasty grail]

ah okay, yeah the animators would need to be updated as well thats why I ask

[somber sequoia]

also text files 🙂

[violet torrent]

How does unity decide where the origin of an object it?

Because it doesnt seem to be where it is in blender

[somber sequoia]

generally it doesn't, it relies on that already being set

[violet torrent]

How is it set?

[somber sequoia]

blender

(or similar)

[violet torrent]

Well yeah, but it doesnt work for me atleast

[somber sequoia]

that is quite strange

[violet torrent]

See, not in the same spot

[somber sequoia]

not knowing what you clicked on in either case, I will assume this is correct and I have no idea why that'd be different.

[violet torrent]

In unity its the missile prefab, and in blender its just the whole missile

[somber sequoia]

by prefab, do you mean something more than just the mesh object?

[violet torrent]

Hold on, I might have just been dumdum

[somber sequoia]

gotta be looking at the same objects in both cases 🙂

[violet torrent]

It works now, the center is in the same spot

[proud turret]

Does anyone know how to enter a security pin on an avatar? The avatar creator has created a security pin which they claim should be toggled in game, but I can't find any way to do this? any help is appreciated

[earnest jay]

how do i add another texture in liltoon? i want to make the toggle for changing textures on the novabeast to sync with this other material i have

[timber wharf]

what. you change textures by swappin whole material

regardless of shader

[earnest jay]

well idk but the nova just has one mat and it switches it bypressing this

[night ember]

not in this server

go to vrctraders https://discord.com/channels/189511567539306508/1204506421631393913

[earnest jay]

how od i swap materials with a slider?? i remember i did it a couple months ago on another avi but i dont have the files for that one any more 😔

[somber meadow]

Through VRCFury you use a single “flipbook builder” action. Put each material swap in their own page

[earnest jay]

where do i do that?

[somber meadow]

Remove all the material swaps you have in that screenshot and where you add a toggle action, instead of a material swap do a flipbook builder

[earnest jay]

oh im blind lol i jsut saw it

thx!!

[jade mural]

is anyone else experiencing broken impostor generation on all avatars? not sure why this keeps happening to me

it either fails to generate or generates with missing parts

I can't generate any non-broken impostors at the moment because of this bug

[night ember]

are you sure its not just your avatar

[jade mural]

nope, it's not, I've tested with various impostor settings and it's happening on multiple avatars

in fact it's straight up ignoring impostor settings

[night ember]

my avatar's imposter generated just fine

[jade mural]

I think it's related to the change where they're automatically separating certain parts during impostorization, like wings and tails, but all that's doing for me is deleting those parts and ignoring my custom impostor settings

[earnest jay]

yall which goloco has more stuff? beyond or all?

[jade mural]

beyond

[jade mural]

I made a canny about it https://feedback.vrchat.com/impostors/p/impostors-generate-with-missing-parts-regardless-of-settings

[fluid echo]

did they change something in new version that would prevent avatar from equipping a gun from back?

in some way

[cobalt holly]

Hey, I'm stuck on a little problem with animator and parameters. I want to create some logic that when contact receiver sets parameter and hand gesture is 1, then set another parameter off. If not, set it on. Is it doable with only animator and animations?

i feel like i'm missing something obvious here, but i'm not seeing it

[timber wharf]

@cobalt holly https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/state-behaviors/#avatar-parameter-driver this

@fluid echo no, very unlikely any recent changes would break anything

[wary oak]

so i wanted to start making avatars, and imported an fbx i found on deviant art into blender. But, the model is pink and im not sure how to add the textures to it. I already tried to look it up on youtube and find the missing files, but no luck. how do i get the textures on the model if not that?

[somber sequoia]

I'd look up a tutorial on on Blender basics regarding materials. You'll want to use the node editor in the Shading section for this.

Possibly the materials there already have image sources and you just have to select the proper texture files

[cerulean temple]

okay so uh, first time uploading avatars, tried getting goloco in, and uuuh... its freaking out solely on this stuff. what did i do wrong?

[dark jay]

need help this happens with the poncho

and this is in unity using the gesture layer manager

[marble glen]

anyone know how to get and put tattoos on an avatar?

[junior void]

You can project any image in various ways in substance painter

[junior void]

Why not use vrcfury + the gogo drag and drop one click installer package

[cerulean temple]

which i do have it

[junior void]

Are you sure youre up to date on both

[cerulean temple]

i downloaded vrcfury yesterday, and gogo today, let me double check however. what is the latest versions for both?

[stiff kiln]

Could someone explain this to me? I can't figure out why the glass isn't going back to it's normal transparency.

[sleek storm]

Correction, seems like additive animations work much better with write defaults on

[cerulean temple]

apparently i was missing a few things but i am still getting the same error

all things were up to date

[wind skiff]

https://vrcfury.com/technical/wd#direct-blendtrees-and-additive-layers-with-wd-off

[stiff kiln]

Okay, so I did some testing and idk why, even tho there is no animation at the default state Off unity doesn't want to reset the materials to their default color and transparency. It changes the materials correctly, but the colors and transparency (which is what I animate on the 3D model to make the Cameleon effect) stays at a grey color with no transparency.
Does anyone know how to fix that?

[heavy zephyr]

Two ways :

1- Use a physbone with squish

2- Use a contact receiver set to proximity and animate your object as the value gets higher

[cerulean temple]

did some looking. all of these seem to share 1 thing in common, that being the parameter (VRCEmote, Int)
im unsure if its the exact reason or not. could it be?

[heavy zephyr]

This is avatar help, try #world-development

[sleek storm]

This page goes straight in my bookmarks 😁

[heavy zephyr]

Seems like it is using the control names as parameters for some odd reason

Check that the parameter is correct

[cerulean temple]

figured that out, narrowed it down to one

[heavy zephyr]

This is just a control using "<b>" as a parameter, that shouldn't be the case

Need to find it and fix it as well

[queen linden]

Hiya folks, I'm finally in the Unity phase of figuring out how to set up my avatar completely. For some reason, despite copying the vrc_hand components from "package", and having the gesture parameters ("weight" and normal as ints), Unity is wanting floats for the controller?

[cerulean temple]

kind of looks like its using the name, not the parameter. what am i doing wrong here ;-;

[heavy zephyr]

Try restarting unity, if that fails, try reimporting the SDK

[heavy zephyr]

Yes, GestureRightWeight and GestureLeftWeight are defined as floats, furthermore unity needs floats when using the multiplier field on state motions.

You may be confusing GestureRightWeight and GestureLeftWeight with GestureRight and GestureLeft, those are ints

[queen linden]

Oh that's weird then. In the sample hands, the Gesture weights were ints. Thanks Unity

[heavy zephyr]

If they came as ints from the package you imported, it's probably whoever made that package's fault

[queen linden]

Or they just look the same as parameters x_x

[heavy zephyr]

I also can't help but notice that all your layers have a weight of 0, as it stands, they won't do anything. You probably want to change their weight to 1 by clicking on the little gear icon next to each layer and bumping up the slider to the max

[cerulean temple]

:|

[cerulean temple]

i restarted. reinstalled goloco. its back.

[queen linden]

Oh I know. I have a lot I need to do as I'm setting up my gestures and facial expressions from the ground up, so I'm not activating anything until most of what's important is prepped.

[heavy zephyr]

In that case, try adding a new control yourself and copy the values of the faulty one (you may have to give it an actual name). Then delete the original and see if the SDK still complains

[subtle sigil]

how can i make eyelids blink and also close slightly for expressions?

[halcyon blade]

I added some assets in Blender into my avatar but once I export it and looked at it in Unity they are not added as a prefab in the Hierarchy. I've no idea what's going on as I have done this with a different avatar and it worked fine. Any advice?

[heavy zephyr]

You can create animations that animate your eyes (either physical eyelids or blendshape), then use whatever condition you want to trigger it.

I'll assume that you want your eyes to blink when you do certain hand gestures, in that case, creating or modifying your facial expression animations and assigning either GestureRight or GestureLeft as conditions would work

[cerulean temple]

new suspicion. since the one i was having trouble with dissapeared, its still there. BUT its showing a different control. PLEASE. nobody tell me that i have to replace them one by one in a tedious manner

[junior void]

Try the gogo discord. If anybody knows, its them

[cerulean temple]

alright off i travel, thanks guys

[subtle sigil]

ty ty

[halcyon blade]

Any help?

[subtle sigil]

i made both eyelids blendshape to close together in blender, is there a way to separate them?

[heavy zephyr]

This is a bit too broad of a question, could you elaborate?

[halcyon blade]

Uhhh

[heavy zephyr]

I am not well versed in blender unfortunately

[halcyon blade]

OK, so I added piercings onto my avatar, adjusted and added them into the Armature all in Blender. Once I was done, I exported the FBX into my Unity project, just for it not to show up said piercings in the Prefab/Hierarchy.

[heavy zephyr]

Is it a brand new FBX? Did you override an existing one?

[halcyon blade]

I did override it, yes.

[heavy zephyr]

Mhm, does it show up if you simply add the new FBX in the scene?

[halcyon blade]

Yea, they do show up if I drag in the FBX into the Hierarchy.

[heavy zephyr]

I am not too sure about this but if you want, you can use this tool to copy all the things from the old FBX to the new one that works properly : https://github.com/rurre/PumkinsAvatarTools

[halcyon blade]

Oh, I'll try but thanks! No worries, any help is enough to get me closer to fixing this issue, haha.

[halcyon blade]

I've got the plugin into my project but I'm unsure how to do what you recommended. 😅

[heavy zephyr]

I would suggest reading the github page but in short :

At the top of unity click on Tools -> Pumkin -> Avatar Tools.

This brings up a big window with a bunch of options. Find where to put the avatar you wish to affect (I think it's at the very top, you need to drag it there), then select everything and select the avatar to copy stuff from then hit confirm/apply

[halcyon blade]

Oh alrightie

[queen linden]

Alright, I have a new problem/question. I'm mostly copying things from another model I have, but it doesn't seem like Gogo Loco has the scale transform animations anymore?

[dusk spoke]

hey all, not sure if this is the right channel but I have an avatar question. Recently I noticed one of my avatars has a wardrobe malfunction. Looking into it further, I think it's something to do with physbones + constraints working together, it looks perfectly fine in the editor and the persistence beta but in the open beta and regular branches it's borked. Is persistence beta the most up to date? Will the physbone/constraint behaviour from the persistence beta be carried over to open/standard branches anytime soon? If not, is there anything I can do to fix this? (I'm not entirely sure how constraints work, this is an outfit I bought off booth.)
thank you in advance!

[heavy zephyr]

Those are just groupings of animations, double-clicking on any of them will bring you to them

[heavy zephyr]

I have heard of physbones under constraints behaving differently in the last SDK update in editor mode (that has been officially acknowledged). I have also heard of similar stuff like you are describing but unsure if that has yet to be officially adressed. I would suggest looking at the canny boards and seeing if anyone has reported the issues there, if not, create your own bug report on there.

[dusk spoke]

Alright i'll do that, thank you. to add a little more info, I was actually a little outdated in my SDK version when I first attempted to fix it by just reuploading, but I did also update to the latest SDK and have had the same issue, my guess is that it's something related to the client but i have no idea. 👍

[queen linden]

This is what I'm referencing, and I can't find the required motion.

[heavy zephyr]

It may be a client issue, you can always try downgrading one version of the SDK and see if the issue persists

[heavy zephyr]

Click on it to see where it is located in that project and simply bring it over if missing in the other one?

[halcyon blade]

I tried to copy it but the Console gives me an error saying: "No DynamicBones found in project."

[heavy zephyr]

Deselect DynamicBones

[sour sphinx]

using vrcfury gogo, is there anyway to change the logo or is it not possible with vrcfury since its a "plugin"

[heavy zephyr]

Yes, you must modify the logo in the menu that gets fused at upload time

To clarify : To do this, find the gogoloco menu used by vrcfury and modify it before upload

[sour sphinx]

where do i find how to do that @heavy zephyr

[halcyon blade]

I might be stupid, but I do not see an option to deselect them. If anything they should already be.

[heavy zephyr]

Look slightly up from there you are looking at the option to remove components

[heavy zephyr]

Look in your project files and find the gogo folder then find the menu in question. Or, find the VRCFury prefab on your avatar that initiates the fusion and it should contain a reference to that menu somewhere

[sour sphinx]

ty!

[gentle goblet]

So I bought an avatar and it has both a sfw and nsfw version within the unity package but I don't know how to set the nsfw version as the one I want to use

[halcyon blade]

I have no clue where you are refering to. There's no other DynamicBones option besides that one.

[gentle goblet]

Like it's there and has all the sane things but yeah idk how to select it I guess ;-;

[heavy zephyr]

Simply disable the SFW version and enable the other one (click on them, look in your inspector window and check/uncheck the top-right box)

[heavy zephyr]

So in the image you sent, you see the "Select None" and "Select All" buttons? Right above those should be a list of stuff you can select to copy over.

If it's empty, make sure you've dragged both the avatar you want to copy things from AND the avatar to copy things to in the correct fields

[dark jay]

can someone help me fix the poncho

in unity it doesnt show up

[halcyon blade]

With both versions of the FBXs?

[heavy zephyr]

Could be related to that : #avatar-help message, otherwise idk

[dark jay]

wdym could be related

in unity it doesnt show up in vrchat it does the issues with it

[heavy zephyr]

One version is the one you wish to copy things from (the one without piercings), the other is the blank one you dragged into your scene to copy things to

[dark jay]

can u elaborate

[heavy zephyr]

Chill, forgot to include the link to the message I was reffering to

[halcyon blade]

Ahhh okay okay

[dark jay]

should i downgrade to upload it

[heavy zephyr]

You can try and see if it changes anything

[dark jay]

ok

[paper echo]

Hello, I was wondering what are the best websites for finding models to buy

[dark jay]

did not fix it what other options do u have

[dark jay]

how did u end up fixing it

[worldly whale]

how would i fix this?

[heavy zephyr]

Check gumroad or booth

[dark jay]

im having that issue rn

[heavy zephyr]

I don't know then, also again, chill

[dusk spoke]

i didn't 💀
I made a canny about it though, can you send me some screenshots in dms? I'm losing my marbles at this LOL

[dark jay]

i am chill i didnt even ping u until i finished downgrading and upload

[dark jay]

was it a gumroad model u bought

[paper echo]

I’m trying to look for a specific character from an anime but those websites don’t have what I’m specifically looking for 😅

[dusk spoke]

no, it's Manuka from Booth + another outfit

[heavy zephyr]

The error is self-explanatory some of the menus being added to the avatar use parameters that are not on the parameter list

[dark jay]

i bought mines from gumroad

[dusk spoke]

but still, please dm me with some screenshots and more info cause I'll update the canny post

[heavy zephyr]

It may not exist then. Not every character ever has been made an avatar. You could commission one from someone but that can get pretty expensive and you risk running into lots of scammers if you don't look in the right places

[paper echo]

I know the avatar model exists because Ive seen two avatar creators upload them as public in their avatar worlds, but I have no clue how they got them.😅

[heavy zephyr]

Try #1138520828556890214 then

[heavy zephyr]

Can't help more than that, you'll have to manually check everything and see if any is missing

[paper echo]

I just want to be able to get ahold of the model or maybe buy it so I can customize/add stuff to it

[heavy zephyr]

Again, try #1138520828556890214, give as much info as you can and maybe someone will be able to help

[mossy swan]

More data on this; its not just that one parameter. All radial sliders seem to suffer the same issue. Could it somehow be caused by the controller joysticks? The whole setup is like 10 years old by this stage. All replacement parts have been discontinued.

It is something that persists once the radial slider closes, but I wonder if it could still be initated by a broken joystick.

[heavy zephyr]

From what I read your issue is that, at any given value input via the radial, the parameter randomly changes to other values on its own?

[mossy swan]

Partially, it also jumps between that and the slider's default value.

Default->x->Default->y->Default->z->Default->x...

[heavy zephyr]

Aight so three things :

1 - I noticed that the default value in your parameter list is not the default value in your controller nor in the blendtree

2 - From what I remember experiencing on my own, this type of issue arises when mixing Write Defaults

3 - If not, make sure you don't have any parameter driver driving this value, nor any animation leftover in your base layer

[mossy swan]

It isn't just confined to parameters I have defined. I managed to add gogoloco and stopped it from bricking the hand-tracking. But it too seems to suffer this issue.

[heavy zephyr]

Then it is most likely caused by mixed Write Defaults

[mossy swan]

If its not Write Defaults, what else could it be?

I believe I've tried it with all Write Defaults disabled but it didn't seem to tackle it. However; I can still give it a second go and be absolutely sure.

But! In case that doesn't work, what could be a Plan B?

[heavy zephyr]

I cannot think of anything else that could cause parameters to randomly change values. Make sure to check all your states and to have them all match the same Write Defaults value. Exceptions can be made for direct blendtrees that should most likely stay on WD On regardless of the rest of the avatar

[dark jay]

so i found out in persistance beta its fixed but not in regular

[dusk spoke]

we did some testing in dms, yes it's the same issue it seems

[heavy zephyr]

Then it is the same issue the other user was having

Yup

Only thing is to report and wait for a fix

[dusk spoke]

although for Pauln, his constraint is actually on the physbone while mine constraints another bone to a physbone

[heavy zephyr]

Afaik, the issue had to do with physbones and constraints interacting sooo yeah

[dark jay]

Its dumb to get a paid model just to have that issue the model came out a few months ago

[dusk spoke]

it happens, I might try manually converting my constraints to VRC ones to see if that fixes it but im not sure how those work so i might need to go learn a bit first

hopefully it'll get fixed soon though so we won't need to worry 🙏

[dark jay]

Ok

[heavy zephyr]

No need to change anything, there is an automatic conversion tool you can find in unity that does everything for you

[dark jay]

Would it fix it

[heavy zephyr]

As I told you many times already, I don't know

[dark jay]

Ok

[heavy zephyr]

If I knew, I would've said so earlier

[dusk spoke]

tried that and it just broke it completly, the constraints stopped working entirely. dunno if theres anything I'd have to adjust manually or not

[dark jay]

It didnt break its the same issue

Just tried

[heavy zephyr]

Remember earlier when I said the constraints didn't work in editor with SDK 3.7.3? That's that, they should work in playmode and once uploaded

[dusk spoke]

I uploaded them and they didn't work, but I'll try on 3.7.2 (unless you have another version that would be better) and try again

thank you for your assistence in this problem btw, you have been extremely helpful :)

[heavy zephyr]

That's very odd then, does your avatar do anything special with constraints? The auto-converter should cover every use-case as long as you're not doing some mad scientist stuff lol

[dusk spoke]

to my knowledge, they aren't touched in animation

they're just used to constrain the outfit to the physics (instead of being weighted?) I'm not super familiar with blender or constraints and this is an outfit I bought so i'm honestly not sure what's goin on

[heavy zephyr]

I'm mostly asking what you're using them for but if you aren't even animating them then their should be no issue

Right I see

Still, they should work

[dusk spoke]

let me try auto converting on 2.7.2 and getting back to ya, hold on

[dark jay]

lmk

[dusk spoke]

ah okay so the vrc constraints work on 2.7.2 but the issue still persists

[dark jay]

Oh nvm

Im going to wait for the issue to be fixed

[heavy zephyr]

2.7.2 or 3.7.2?

[gentle goblet]

I just got an avater and for some reason the tattoos which are ment to be coloured just aren't, they are just a bright white and I was curious if anyone knew why? Also in game the colour radial also doesn't work, they just stay white and yeah it confuses me >~>

[dusk spoke]

3.7.2* sorry

[heavy zephyr]

Right makes more sense

[dark jay]

Where in this discord server can i make a bug report

[heavy zephyr]

There could be many many different reasons for this, unfortunately if you have no experience with avatars at all, that might be hard to fix

[dusk spoke]

you make bug reports on the canny, I already made one for this issue and added the information you gave me, sent you the link in dms like twice LOL

[dark jay]

I know

I wanted to see if i can make one in here cause they might check it more

[heavy zephyr]

Copy-pasting the same information everywhere is not useful. An official bug report has been made and will be looked at

[tough snow]

So, I'm struggling with my model kinda. Having its shoulders folding in on themselves in-game if I have my arms too close to myself, I'm assuming this is because I need to tweak the rigging since they don't have.. a shoulder? But asking in case I'm missing something important!

Here's what the rigging looks like for the arms if that helps!

[heavy zephyr]

Only thing I can think of is to adjust the muscle settings in unity (same menu you are in, in that picture). Otherwise might need some blender work and I can't help with that

[tough snow]

I'm in blender actually

Will take a look at muscle settings!

[heavy zephyr]

Oop-

[gentle goblet]

The actual creator said that no one else has had this issue, so I think it is on my end, but yeah I don't know what considering the colours don't appear from the second I open the asset in unity

[heavy zephyr]

If you truly are the only one experiencing this issue make sure you follow diligently the instructions most likely included with your avatar purchase. It might require you to import specific packages/tools and/or use specific versions of Unity/the SDK/some tools
