[gentle goblet]

OwO Okay I will go read everything again carefully, thank you ^-^

One more question though. When importing avatars into unity, can you just select new scene and add another to upload 2 different avatars but not have to make multiple projects or will that cause issues? Also how do you just change scenes easily, like do you have to go to file then open scene every time or is there a tab somewhere I am missing?

[solid knoll]

Has anyone found a workaround of getting a personal avatar back from "Security Check Failed" other than reuploading/making a whole new blueprint ID?

[mossy swan]

Uuuuh another question; any tools out there to help me track down all write defaults?

[timber wharf]

@solid knoll if youre like extra sure its falsely failed it, you can file a support ticket

[solid knoll]

new avatar = new project

[heavy zephyr]

The only thing that matters when uploading an avatar is that it is the only active object in that scene with a "VRC Avatar Descriptor" component. As long as you make sure only 1 avatar is active at a time, you can in theory have as many as you want in the same scene/project. I would however not reccomend doing that as it makes it harder to troubleshoot issues/upgrade projects and find what you need if a project becomes too crowded.

[solid knoll]

it's an avatar i've had for a good bit that just randomly failed when switching worlds...

[heavy zephyr]

You can import the avatar manager from your VCC, it has an option for that

[timber wharf]

well old avis are getting checked randomly and limits are geting tighter

they deleted sexy kermit (not mine but i still miss it)

well, not deleted, it failed

[mossy swan]

Wait, nvm, I can see some of it with VRCFury, but also some of what its saying doesn't make sense.

Unless its just figuring out which one is easier; on or off.

Nevermind, yeah I figured it out.

Its just getting fussy about which one's easier/harder.

[heavy zephyr]

Your avatar is most likely built to work with one and not the other. So switching or deleting the outliers is probably better than switching everything else

[mossy swan]

I built the avatar completely from scratch,

The basic avatar is homemade, gogoloco is being glued on top for the flight function.

[heavy zephyr]

Then what WD do you use and did you use the correct version of gogo for it?

[mossy swan]

Its whatever the latest version is for gogo, and then as far as my animations, I tend to treat it as if write-defaults are on. But that's because they are on by default.

[heavy zephyr]

By version I mean gogo comes with WD On and WD Off controllers

Make sure you add the correct ones

[mossy swan]

Its the VRCFury prefab version; autoinstalls using VRCFury.

The only aspect of gogo I really care for is flight. It comes with a whole bunch of other stuff that I don't really care for, but dunno how to excise without bricking it since its not my work.

[heavy zephyr]

Right, then I'm not 100% certain how it handles that but it should detect what you're using. In any case this is just a matter of switching the states with WD Off to On

[mossy swan]

Also! I did go ahead and swap 'em all over to WD Off, gogo seems happy at least.

But my emission slider is still mad at me.

[heavy zephyr]

Well your logic was built for WD On soooo

[mossy swan]

Sure, but I anticipate it should be agnostic towards WD off/on. The emission slider is just set up as an animation with motion time controlled by the slider.

[heavy zephyr]

And you say that still doesn't work despite having ALL your states to WD Off?

[mossy swan]

Nod nod

[heavy zephyr]

At this point only thing more I can do would be to VC

Cause otherwise I got no clue

[mossy swan]

Hm, time for a different tactic perhaps. I got an idea.

I'm gonna set up a new float parameter and a new slider, but no animators will be connected to the parameter; it just changes the value. Which I can see in the debug menu.

[heavy zephyr]

You could use the gesture emulator or avatar emulator to see that in unity

Instead of having to check ingame

[mossy swan]

I tried. It behaves differently ingame than it does in Unity.

[heavy zephyr]

Uh

Welp, good luck then, perhaps you've found a rare vrc fuckery

[mossy swan]

Perfectly behaved in Unity. 🙃

[gentle goblet]

I am curious if these errors can help figure out why the materials aren't showing up 👉 👈

[mossy swan]

There is a disconnect somewhere between the parameter and the animator.
Parameter w/o being associated with the animator and animation states works fine. Connecting it to a test clip makes it go bonkers all of a sudden in the same way.

[heavy zephyr]

Those are warnings but in the off chance that they can help, check if you are using the correct version of the shaders (most likely poiyomi)

[gentle goblet]

Uhhh how do I do that? And is that a me thing or something the creator would need to check OwO?

[heavy zephyr]

Are you 110% sure you've checked all your states? Sorry for asking again but that reeks of WD mixing. Otherwise can you give more details on how the value behaves?

[sharp kayak]

this is more of just a unity problem, the check box for disabling the mesh is gone, i have no clue what i did

[heavy zephyr]

Well the instructions your avatar came with probably specified a version for poiyomi

[heavy zephyr]

Top right, click on the dots, select normal instead of debug

[sharp kayak]

actually the whole layout just looks different

[sharp kayak]

it is on normal

thats the weird thing

[mossy swan]

No write mixing in use here.

[heavy zephyr]

Then go to debug and back to normal, restart unity

[night ember]

are you looking at it in the assets folder or the actual scene heirarchy?

[sharp kayak]

the inspector

[sharp kayak]

tried both, nothing

[night ember]

that doesnt answer my question

[sharp kayak]

oh, hierachy

[gentle goblet]

Uh they said they used Poiyomi Toon 9.0, but how do I check that that's there and like do I have to get and add it myself too?

[mossy swan]

The parameter is sliding betweeeeen... 0.8 aaaaand looks like 0.4 at some multiple of the framerate. At the same time it is also making the animation motion time slide back and forth.

And it seems to be only once I connected it to the animator

[night ember]

probably try restarting unity

[heavy zephyr]

In your VCC, import poiyomi shaders if not imported already

[sharp kayak]

i tried, didnt change anything

[delicate orchid]

How do i use .cs installers?

[heavy zephyr]

Without you moving the radial right?

[mossy swan]

Correct

Well...it is triggered by my moving the radial

After its initiated, it persists even once the radial is closed.

[gentle goblet]

I feel dumb, do I just search up poiyomi, look for 9.0 then add it to the VCC thing?

[heavy zephyr]

So to sum up, you've made sure the parameter default value is the same EVERYWHERE, you have ALL states set to WD Off and there is 0 parameter driver piloting that value???

[heavy zephyr]

Oh sorry forgot it's not in by default, let me fetch you the link

[mossy swan]

No parameter drivers, this is a fresh parameter.

[heavy zephyr]

https://poiyomi.github.io/vpm/

Here, this will add it to your VCC

[gentle goblet]

Thank you <3

[mossy swan]

Went in and wrote a completely new float. Only connected it to a radial that does nothing. Tested the radial. It passed. Then I connected that radial to a new animation that just moves a 3D box backwards and forwards. Checked WDs, still off. Radial has now broken.

[sharp kayak]

i looked it up and i cant find jack, the whole layout looks different and i have no idea why

[heavy zephyr]

Yeah, if all your things are Off and this is On, it can break

[sharp kayak]

i just realized i can't even add components either

[heavy zephyr]

Only thing I could think off is to try reimporting everything/making a new project

[mossy swan]

This is twice in a row now

[sharp kayak]

oh ughh

[gentle goblet]

THANK YOU SO MUCH, like this was it, I feel so dumb I didn't realise you needed to add this to vrc and just ugh...but thank you still ♡

[heavy zephyr]

This is why I said earlier that you need everything to be the same-

[heavy zephyr]

Well there's many ways to add it to your project but that will make it easier if you make new projects in the future, glad I could help tho 🫡

[mossy swan]

They are all the same. Across the board. There nothing else going on with this parameter besides the animation. I can't test the animator without the animation though. That's a sticking point.

So I can't tell if its something with the animation or the animator.

[sharp kayak]

any of this mean anything?

[mossy swan]

I'mma excise the animation and see if simply knowing about the parameter somehow bricks it.

[heavy zephyr]

Not anything that would magically fix it, try deleting the SDK and importing it again maybe?

[heavy zephyr]

Animator doesn't nothing by itself and you said your animation was dead simple

[sharp kayak]

i am using vcc, im trying to reload all the packages

see if that works

okay, this is now becoming an issue that is pissing me off

(this is the fbx exporter)

[heavy zephyr]

Project just seems overall borked-

[gentle goblet]

Hey sorry another dependancy listed is the wholesome dependancies and I was wondering if you would be able to link those too 👉 👈

[heavy zephyr]

Don't think I can link that here, I'll send a DM

[sharp kayak]

what did i even do 😭

[gentle goblet]

Haha thank you

[heavy zephyr]

Need to accept friend request tho ^^"

[sharp kayak]

is this like a setting i changed or something

[heavy zephyr]

No idea, sometimes unity do be unitying

[sharp kayak]

(this literally happened out of nowhere, like it just changed suddenly)

[mossy swan]

Correction: the parameters themselves are broken somehow.

I redid an earlier test:
Fresh test parameter. Connected to a brand new slider that does nothing other than change the parameter value.
Once I get to around 20% climbing down from 100%, it begins to flicker between 0%, 12%, 24%, and 40%

[heavy zephyr]

I got no clue then :/

[mossy swan]

Time for a bug report?

Could my duplicate of the SDK have somehow been corrupted?

[heavy zephyr]

No idea

[proven trellis]

Someone please help, I've been dealing with this for 3 hours to no avail.. everything is green, it's all assigned correctly, its named correctly, the hiearchy is correct, I don't know what the hell it wants now..

[heavy zephyr]

Are you sure the correct rig is the one being used by your avatar animator?

[heavy zephyr]

In your hierarchy the armature is not ordered properly it seems

[proven trellis]

What's wrong with it?..

[heavy zephyr]

Well a typical armature would be :

Armature -> Hips -> Spine -> Chest etc...

[proven trellis]

What order do the chest parts need to be in? (Upper chest, chest)

[heavy zephyr]

Try this page : https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/rig-requirements/

And pages on that site in general

[proven trellis]

Everything matches the requirements..

[heavy zephyr]

Otherwise try tutorials on youtube specifically for vrchat rigging, I don't have lots of knowledge on this

[somber sequoia]

maybe you can show what this looks like in Blender and also the hierarchy from the root down to at least hands/feet

[proven trellis]

now what????

I finally get it working, now what is this???

@heavy zephyr

[heavy zephyr]

No idea, not very well-versed in rigging sorry

[proven trellis]

does this even have to do with rigging?

[somber sequoia]

yeah what are we even looking at here

[proven trellis]

How does one mess up this badly

[heavy zephyr]

Oh wait no, that's probably your view point not being set correctly

[digital aurora]

this might be a dumb question but is there a way to export only the hair assets i put together from unity > blender

ik u click assets on the top and export package but im curious if theres a shortcut to just export whats in the scene without having to uncheck all the unnecessary items

[bright lark]

so im usuing an Outfit i got off a random corazon avi, but the textures keep coming up like this? is it the mesh or the textures. and if so does anyone know how to fix the issue. Cuz its only when i use quest shaders

idk where the blue is commin from

[somber sequoia]

just import the .fbx into Blender

[cinder frost]

Do avatars ignore muscle settings?

My avatar looks like this while crouching in editor

But in VRC it looks like this

[somber sequoia]

does it not have a humanoid rig?

[cinder frost]

It does

And I used muscle settings to keep the legs from rotating too much and looking like that

And that works fine in editor, but VRChat's IK seems to ignore it

I'm wondering if there's any way to get around that and fully limit the legs rotations

[somber sequoia]

weird that it's in that pose in the editor then

[cinder frost]

That's previewing the crouch animation with lyuma's emulator

[somber sequoia]

ohhh

oh I totally misread that, sorry

[cinder frost]

It's all good lol

[digital aurora]

i think u might've misread smth else ^^' but thanks for trying to help me

[somber sequoia]

I don't think I misread yours

[digital aurora]

😅

[icy iron]

So, when I export my mesh FBX from Blender (using CATs), the skinned mesh renderer on the FBX doesn't have the root bone assigned, and when I drag the hip bone in, it rotates the mesh and totally messes up my bones and animations and stuff... Am I doing something wrong? Please help!

[azure widget]

heya! So Im wanting to make this Avatar's colors customizable, so that each of these materials can have their hue, saturation, and brightness controlled individually. It works perfectly, but the problem is that it takes up WAY too many parameters. does anyone know how I might be able to condense these down, or otherwise free more space?

[ornate stump]

Root bone is used for bound anchor which doesn't relate to mesh deformation. But your skinned mesh renderer is at the avatar root object which should not be the case. So there is some thing wrong with the avatar model in blender.

[ornate stump]

Try using vrcfury Infinite Parameters component which combines all floats into a few parameters.

[azure widget]

Omg I didnt know it had that!! thank you! :D

[icy iron]

I don't really understand... What's wrong with it in blender then? How do I fix it?

[ornate stump]

You'd to identify the issue in blender first. Screenshot how the model look like in blender and the object tree list.

[ornate stump]

The body object should be a child of Armature object, you got it backward.

[ornate stump]

And the body is missing armature deform modifier.

[icy iron]

Like this?

[ornate stump]

Yes. Also test in pose mode before exporting.

[spark walrus]

first time using unity it cant decompress

[ornate stump]

What it can't decompress?

[humble cave]

For some reason my blendshapes arent syncing with other players, i'm just using VRCFury for the toggles and this hasn't happened before so i'm not sure whats up

[ocean parcel]

Your avatar is humanoid, but its feet aren't specified! Your avatar is humanoid, but its upper arms

[fair zinc]

This was my first attempt at making clothing for the Mayu, I feel like its pretty bad but my friends keep telling me its aight. (its a wip still)

I wanna redo it and improve the overall concept buuuut I feel like my way about it has been kinda meh, any advice that could potentially help me improve?

Or maybe I'm overthinking it and just needa keep at it 😅

[sly lodge]

is it not syncing on different platforms?

[queen linden]

Is there a way that I could get help with fixing/adjusting some blendshapes/shape keys I have? I've been trying to do it myself, but they've gotten a bit twisted from my pulling. There are also some that I have no idea how I can fix myself.

[tall lintel]

Elaborate

Also send me a pic

[junior void]

'Fix' could mean a lot

[queen linden]

Touche. But it's just adjusting a mouth/areas of a face.

[tall lintel]

Send me the files

I got chu bruh

[junior void]

I'll assume you know not to send strangers your files

[queen linden]

Lol. Yeah uh nah

Yup lmfao

[tall lintel]

I got nothing better to do

I make avatars for fun bc bored

[junior void]

So, to understand why you cant get it yourself, whats the problem when you do try?

[queen linden]

Other than steal avatars eh? 👀

[tall lintel]

I don’t steal

I make my avatars and I fix avatars for ppl

My avatars I make from scratch

[queen linden]

Took a screenshot, one sec

[junior void]

Lets not get into that further shall we

[queen linden]

Here's an example.

[junior void]

Oh, i guess it has a blush or expression plane in the head, yes?

[queen linden]

Before it was worse. But I'm trying to fit it to shape against the face, and it's not exactly working out lol. Yeah

[tall lintel]

It looks fine on the mouth if ur referring to the patch under one eye

Then I can see it

[queen linden]

But it's not the only one. I'm pretty much trying to see if someone can look it over and help adjust what's needed to be adjusted. Also to check what I've done my best to fix myself.

[tall lintel]

For anyone it will be hard to check without them being able to look at it and whatnot

And it looks like there’s extra parts on it making that uneven area under the right eye

[junior void]

Hm thats rather unlikely to happen. The people who help out here regularly prefer case by case support. "Looking over everything" could escalate time wise quite a lot an I'm not sure anyone serious is going to blindy commit to that

[queen linden]

I don't mean looking over everything, just my shape keys.

[tall lintel]

If your like me and got nothing better to do and all I do is mess around in blender or Skyrim

Like this is something I made in blender

[junior void]

Ye still though. I mean, best of luck with that. As for your current problem, I'd personally use sculpt tools or give shrinkwrap modifier a try or lattice

[tall lintel]

And if all else fails youtube or google

And idk if you meant to do this right here or not. But my OCD is killing me about it and itching to fix it lol

[queen linden]

If no one can help by literally just scrolling through and taking a glance at some expressions with a more professional hand than myself, as I've already messed up on some of the keys by attempting it myself (as you can see from the above), surely they can take the time to join a call and point out things so I can learn better ways.

Unfortunately reading for this has not helped, and there aren't any videos that go into what I specifically need.

[tall lintel]

I offered to fix but you didn’t want me to. But anyway it’s like 1 am and I’m tired so ima go sleep

[hushed thicket]

hello, i have two questions about creating avatars, this has being a nightmare because i have no knowledge with unity
i hope someone can help me

1 - is possible just edit / rotate an idle animation to avoid arms clipping the skirt like this first pic?

2 - i working in a new one from Vroid (i customize on vroid now i trying place on vrchat) it's working but i have issues with skirt, i tried find some tutorials on youtube but wont help very well (but give a cool gravity/spring on clotches)

beside that problems she is working on vrchat aswell, i just trying make some adjustments and let this less bugged

[agile reef]

looking for a hair asset that looks like this..

[lapis raft]

Sometimes you just have to trust the process, As long as your topology is good and you dont go overkill on the polycount i'd say it looks fine and you can make it pop pretty well once you get to the texturing and shading. And overall its a learning process.

[cobalt mauve]

so i have this model of a tent and in unity it shows up one sides and i figured its the front face and back face. ive tried flip normal and it makes the back side invisibe and tbh idk what to do im new to blender

[timber wharf]

either use shader with culling set none (pc only) or select red part (L), ctrl+d, esc, alt+n (will duplicate those verticies)

[left gull]

make a post in #1138520828556890214

[tough snow]

So! Does anyone know why my arms would do this? Also why do the feet clip into the ground slightly.. Unsure if this is due to how I have the bones in Blender or not?

Some pics of the rigging if that helps!

I'm imagining I need to do some shenanagins with constraints? Are those a thing? No idea!

[junior void]

Well, if you think that a normal human rig should look like so

it kinda does make sense

[tough snow]

Yeee, the issue is that they just straight up Don't have shoulders, lmao.

[junior void]

i can only imagine that the humanoid animations that get applied to any avi as soon as you set it to humanoid try to make the shoulder bones horizontal

[tough snow]

Ah, is this an issue of me having em in an A pose then?

In-game the premade animation things actually work really well, the issue is.. the actual IK in game

Also also: I gave them shoulder bones to appease Unity, but they're not weighted to anythnig

[junior void]

No its not the pose

this axis is the issue

it does this, which is consistent with your video

[tough snow]

Ah, wait, okay, so I should move the shoulder bone?

To be. flat. and better positoned

[junior void]

you cant

if you move the shoulder bone, your arm rotation will no longer be at the ball point of the avatar

[tough snow]

oooooo, hrm..

[junior void]

What you can do is try to pose the avatar in T shape so this is easer, and then also pose the shoulder angle in a way that works with the T pose but im afraig the mesh that is above the shoulder, which is part of the arm, will stick into your torso

[dense falcon]

uhhh

[tough snow]

I'm fine with shaving some parts of the avatar down, i need to fix the proportions anyhow

[junior void]

yea the wide hips look issue prone as well but thats easily shrunk down

[tough snow]

Would making the shoulder bone longer help or would that make it worse, lmao.

I can give it a little bit more space, perhaps

Mm, I'll poke around tomorrow, it is 4 am..

[junior void]

depends how much damage you can tolerate

remember that the fat end of the bone determines where your shoulder will rotate from

[spark walrus]

evening i would like to ask something, does here anyone know how to add a laser particle with toggle on off on unity?

[fair zinc]

🌟

Trying to figure out the best way to go about making the belt and accessories with the clothing

[wraith geyser]

hello, im having issues to fit in the 10mb limit for quest. I cant find what part of my avi is too big,
i tried to put all textures in very low resolution and it still 15mb
i also tried to remove all outfits and still it barely changed the size.
Any advice or tools to help me find where is the issue?
thx

[dusk pulsar]

Pumpkin tools can show you the size of the avatar, on how much each part is taking. I think.
Another solution - remove unnecessary animations, components, blendshapes, reduce textures, sometimes you might need to make atlas out of them, but that's unnecessary. Blender is useful for that.

I think there is a tool to remove blendshapes that have 0 value or impact, too.

[wraith geyser]

thank you very much i'll try those

[dusk pulsar]

In fact, MMD dances can increase avatar's size by a ton

[ocean parcel]

Anyone able to help me with getting my avatar build to work right, im getting feet arent specified, but everything is rigged

[oblique hatch]

hi, i have a general unity question, do only the files that are in the scene get added to the total uncompressed size of the avatar? or is it every file in the assets folder?

[long sierra]

How do I fix this?

[long sierra]

I got the animations to import fine before...

[wispy spear]

Make sure they're in the right slots in configuration

[ocean parcel]

How do i do that? I think they are slotted correctly.

[spark walrus]

can anyone here help me with making my red pointer particle work on unity toggle on off

please

[slim prairie]

To dial back the booba physics am I looking at the Momentum setting in the physbones? Apologise if this is inappropriate wording

[olive thicket]

no, it's not inappropriate. its needed

[heavy zephyr]

You can look at the immobile setting (its basically a dampen value) for an easy way to reduce movement. More precise adjustments would require using curves and adjusting all the relevant values until it fits what you want

[hardy light]

Anyone know how i can make my clothing move with my rig?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yr5KRYz5ybs&ab_channel=Kaideart

tried this

but no luck

[slim prairie]

Ah my Immobile type is All Motion and set to 0.06, any recommendation? this is the first time I'm messing with Physbone stuff

[heavy zephyr]

So any values in physbones are between 0 and 1 (0 being 0% and 1 being 100%). You have it currently set to reduce movement by 6%, that's not a lot, try a higher value if you want to notice a difference

[slim prairie]

Thank you, would the momentum setting being on 0.91 affect it too? that's the default setting I haven't altered them

[spark walrus]

hello??

anyone a hand??

[slim prairie]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqtSg6_W07Y

I followed this tutorial and it worked, I can't directly help you but try following this for the toggle :)

[spark walrus]

il see thanks for the vid

[slim prairie]

No problem

[heavy zephyr]

Hover around the setting name to get a description of what it does, then consider that 0.91 is 91% of that

I think momentum is kinda like how much it jiggles while moving back into place

[slim prairie]

I've rarley used Unity so hovering over stuff to see what it does wasn't in mind lmao

[slim prairie]

Yeah it's like super jiggly and I've put Immobile to 50%

[heavy zephyr]

Then reduce momentum to like... 0.4 and it should be good

[slim prairie]

Just have it works perfectly, thank you for the help! :>

Fianlly got a more natural movement

[heavy zephyr]

Glad to help 🫡

[slim prairie]

Still a bit janky when jumping but I'll figure it out

they spread far apart lmao

[heavy zephyr]

For that you can give them angle restrictions

[summer hearth]

What does a high texture memory on an avatar do, besides impact performance rank? Everyone tells me mine is way too high and yet even after reducing it by a large margin, nothing changed

[slim prairie]

Under the Limits right?

Max angle says 33

[heavy zephyr]

High texture memory = High VRAM usage. VRAM is the amount of RAM your GPU has, if this gets saturated, it will begin to transfer stuff to regular RAM, which is very slow and hence, causes large FPS drops

[heavy zephyr]

You could reduce that as well or change the limit type

[hardy light]

?

[slim prairie]

So higher the number, less spread?

[summer hearth]

Ah alr, but its odd bc ive been in lobbies where peeps avis had like 300+ texture memory and no one complained about fps

[spark walrus]

hi

where was the video

meme

about a woman asking for help

and not getting answer?

[heavy zephyr]

Lower number, less spread. The angle limit is the max angle your bone can rotate away from its resting position

[slim prairie]

Ahh I get it now thanks, I'm learning so much already I really appreciate it

[hardy light]

???

[heavy zephyr]

To come back to that, it's a common effort goal. Plus not everyone has the same VRAM so it's just better if everyone does their best not to suck up too many of it. A reasonable max limit is 150Mb, as stated by the SDK

[summer hearth]

Ah alr

I mean, the avi im using havr likd 40 different assets and irs at 340mb which apparently is Alot

[heavy zephyr]

This is more than twice the recommended amount so yes, it's a loooot

[summer hearth]

Its never caused any lag tho, and avis with way less caused lag for other which is why it confuses me often

[timber wharf]

high vram doesnt cause lag itself, as you being said it happens when vram gets saturated overall. if its three of you in private, noone cares. if its public 150mb is already a lot, theres 40-70 people and only 4000mb best case of my vram (rest of 8gb goes to vr and map) for all of ya

[summer hearth]

Aaah righr right got it

[oak bone]

Is there a way to fix emissions not working with the Quest VRC Standard shader, or do I need to reinstall Unity 2019?

[spark walrus]

hi
where was the video
meme
about a woman asking for help
and not getting answer?

[timber wharf]

@oak bone latest sdks should work

[oak bone]

I'm still having issues despite my newest SDK, but I've been using an old project that I updated. Maybe that's it? I'll try a new one

[mortal barn]

quick question about headchop

im making a new avi and I thought it time to transition to the newer headchop system for it, my current legacy setup has 3 headbones that are all constrained to eachother with various scale rotation and position constraints

[delicate ledge]

My avatar has certain features that I can see a toggle for in my radial menu - I can toggle them on, but I'm the only one who can see them in the mirror. Other players cannot. I'm so confused how to fix this in Unity. Any ideas?

[mortal barn]

• I have the "headholder" head thats skinned to nothing and contains the eyes and the head, this is what I feed unity in the humanoid setup
• I have a "head" that is actually skinned to the mesh that holds most of the head mesh
• I have a "physhead" holder that contains everything thats driven by physbones (ears, nose, hair etc)

The "headholder" head gets positioned down to my stomach when the avatar loads as to have my voice come from the right place, the "head" is rotation, and scale constrained to it, the scal constraint was so it wasent in the way, the "physhead" is constrained to the "headholder the same way as the "head" is minus the scale constraint so the physbones dont freak out about being scaled locally

my idea is, combined the head and physhead into one and just let headchop deal with the stuff the scale in "head" was originally dealing with

my question is does headchop respect individual scalings or is it parent specific? as in if I headchop the head bone itself (since its not the real head as far as vrc is concerned and just being puppeted by constraints) but I want to keep the nose or hair visible in the viewport because I chopped the headbone would that be honored or because the heads the parent will it inherit that instead?

theres a bunch of rigging that will need to be revisited so I thought id ask if that would be a roadbock before I started messing with the weightpainting

[mortal barn]

dumb question did you make sure the paramater was synced?

[arctic ginkgo]

does anyone know if there's a fix for texture offset/tiling not working on vrchat/mobile/particles/additive?

[mortal barn]

I dont THINK vrchat marks parameters as synced by default anymore, I THINK they changed it to unsynced by default with the expression UI update just cause theres a LOT you can process locally on your animator while only needing to output the final result over network

it would be super cool if AAPs could drive networked paramaters all by themselves but other than that ye

[violet torrent]

How do I make a radial menu cycle through textures with VRCFury?

[mortal barn]

with fury? uhhhh....

[arctic ginkgo]

the headchop behavior exhibited in-game is just the head being scaled down to a very small number, so when the headchop component is used to make things visible, it is just scaling the object the inverse amount. This affects child bones the same way scaling does in any other scenario

[mortal barn]

so would I need to scale up the children to see them ingame?

would they have the correct positions? since the parents smaller?

hmm

[arctic ginkgo]

no, you only need a headchop component on the first bone in a chain that you would like to be visible

[mortal barn]

ok so I can headchop the head away, then down the chain I can headchop the hair back into being visible?

and it will retain its correct position and everything?

[arctic ginkgo]

yes, the head bone is headchopped by default, so you only need a component on the root hair bone

[mortal barn]

does headchop have adverse effects on physbone calculations? Cause I know scale constraints did at least for the local client

[hardy light]

Anyone know how i can mirror my vertex weights onto my other leg

[arctic ginkgo]

not that i've seen, no

[mortal barn]

cool

[arctic ginkgo]

i've put them directly on the same bone as one with a physbone component and it's caused no issues

[mortal barn]

theres definately a built in tool for that in blender, in maya its Skin > Mirror Skin Weights

[mortal barn]

im still hoping for the day autodesk realises they are boned when everyone switches to blender and they make maya free

then ill have more people to teach maya to lol

or at least a version of it, thats not like lobotomized and useless

heck they could even ship it without a renderer and id be happy, you can always just download a renderer

[hardy light]

I weight painted one leg and when i checked the other it wasn't mirroring at all

it kinda was

but it was messed up

so now i need to copy and paste it for the other leg

[mortal barn]

I keep tellling myself I have a whole year to learn blender well enough to cancel my maya subscription then never bother

but im learning slowly, I know how to join meshes make edgeloops and join vertices

slowly but surely

alright I guess I will try this with just the one headbone

[hardy light]

i don't have maya though

[mortal barn]

a common response^^

[hardy light]

that mirrors my left leg's weight paint onto my other leg but not the selected bone

i can send a clip if needed

[arctic ginkgo]

well yeah that's what it's supposed to do

if you want it to target a specific bone you just change the name of the vertex group to match the name of the bone

[hardy light]

Oh ok

[arctic ginkgo]

this is what you asked

mirror the vertex weights to the other leg

[hardy light]

Worked!

thx

appriciated

[shrewd yew]

Hello

I have a problem with avatar toggles

in game when I change the toggles they only change to me but people dont see the changes

[lunar cypress]

Synced and saved parameters

[shrewd yew]

this ?

[shrewd yew]

I have to check them

ok thank you

[lunar cypress]

Yep

That should do it

[somber sequoia]

Muscle memory is still a thing though, long-time Maya users are lost in Blender, at least at first.

[torpid flame]

Are physbone calculations disabled when the physbone is diabled in an animation?
Like say for multiples hairs. Disabling strands when another is active or inactive

[umbral cargo]

Im curious too.

[night ember]

I mean Id assume so with how unity usually behaves with disabled objects

[torpid flame]

I checked in game and they all still transform

Is why I asked

And if not is there a way to make them disabled when another is enabled

[rotund python]

yo I got this error when updating avatar, what does it mean?

[torpid flame]

Come on big brains

[hard turtle]

why isnt my model important with its shape keys from blender?

[torpid flame]

hundreds of thousands of people here

Customer service is pudu

[somber sequoia]

Do you have an un-applied modifier that fails to apply at export time?

[somber sequoia]

the people here don't get paid for this 🙂

[torpid flame]

Well yeah

But i think its a relveant question towards optimization

[somber sequoia]

last I checked a disabled physbone is disabled and so does nothing

[hard turtle]

omw blender on steam sucks ass for that single god damn reason that shade smoothing is a modifier

angry

this angers me

[torpid flame]

When using debug in game to check they all move

[somber sequoia]

doesn't matter if it's steam or not, this is just how those modifiers work

[hard turtle]

was that an update?? because i remember when i shade autosmoothed it was able to apply it with or without shapekeys >:(

[somber sequoia]

anything that changes vertex count can't easily be applied if you have shape keys, this is how it's been forever

[hard turtle]

i only updatd fro the first time in 3 years like a few days ago lmao

[hard turtle]

since when tf does shade autosmooth affect vertex count

[somber sequoia]

oh was it only that one? That's weird then. I don't tend to use it, so dunno

[hard turtle]

before it was just an anglei could change in the green triangle and now its a modifier for some wierd ass reason

[hexed walrus]

I've been trying to get this gimmick on my avatar to work for hours. I toggle it on, and nothing happens. What are some ways I should troubleshoot it? For context, it's the four dimensional room extension.

[junior void]

Blender 4 moment

[winter edge]

What could cause my liltoon shader to cover the whole shoe with this glossy look? Only happens on some maps

When it looks like this in unity

[lunar cypress]

Shitty lights on the map is my guess

[night ember]

reflections

[winter edge]

@night ember @lunar cypress Anyway to handle it for this case?

[night ember]

the reflection settings

[lunar cypress]

You could change the shader

Honestly I mostly do quest stuff but I can tell it’s the world reflection or lighting messing with something

[night ember]

the shader is entirely in control over how it renders

[cinder flare]

Hi all, is there any good way to ensure that an animation keeps the rotation of the object when it transitions from one animation to another?

For instance, I have something set to slowly spin, and on a parameter change it needs to move somewhere, but I want it to make sure it keeps its rotation at the point of the change. How would I do that?

[night ember]

constraint

[lunar cypress]

Or separate the rotation and positions onto different animations

[gleaming pumice]

Where would I find the setting as fallback setting in unity? I’ve been looking all over and I can’t find it

[cinder flare]

They are separate animations, one of them only rotates and the other only changes position + scale, and yet when it moves into the second animation, the object "backspins" to try to reset its rotation to 0

[night ember]

android side
and if its actually able to be set as a fallback

[lunar cypress]

Change the weight of the function in the animator to 0.5 perhaps

[gleaming pumice]

Android side? I’m new to uploading avatars. Just trying to upload one I bought

[night ember]

android as in the platform you need to upload to

[gleaming pumice]

Ohhhhh

[cinder flare]

I don't see how that will affect anything, unless you meant to have the different animations on different animator layers?

[lunar cypress]

Yes

[cinder flare]

I'll try that

[waxen palm]

I had a quick question how do I get the index fingers for a VR chat avatar?

[lunar cypress]

2 animations 2 layers weighted 0.5 so they don’t override

[arctic ginkgo]

the two options i can think of are having the rotation and position animations seperate or to have both animations playing at once (using a blendtree) and change their weight based on a parameter

[cinder flare]

The parameter is true/false so not sure I can do a good blendtree with that, but thank you

[waxen palm]

I had a quick question how do I get the index fingers for a VR chat avatar?

[arctic ginkgo]

yeah you can just set it as a float in the animator

i do that all the time

[lunar cypress]

Not entirely sure but I believe there’s a gesture layer set up for it someone made

[arctic ginkgo]

animator = float
expression parameter = bool

just make them have the same name

[cinder flare]

got it

[arctic ginkgo]

there's even a conversion chart for this in the creator docs

https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/animator-parameters/#mismatched-parameter-type-conversion

this is the use case i'm talking about

[cinder flare]

The blend tree idea is interesting but when implemented, the object just snaps back to 0° rotation when the parameter flips from True (1.0) to False (0.0). Thank you though

[dusk pulsar]

How can I automatically link android to PC version without inputting blueprint ID manually? Is it related to network ID?

[timber wharf]

wha. you can copy id of any of your content from 4th tab of sdk panel

[night ember]

the blueprint id is kinda how it even knows what avatar you are uploading to begin with
just switch platform and upload it

[dusk pulsar]

I want to export the project for a friend so they can upload PC and Quest version themselves without de-attaching blueprint

Otherwise they would need to build PC version by uploading and then copy blueprint ID into android

And if I have to explain that to many people who ask me to do things, it would be tedious over-time

[hard turtle]

ive got no dynamic bones, why tf are they standing up like that

[timber wharf]

@dusk pulsar id is bound to your account

[night ember]

they would need to detatch the blueprint id anyways as that is account specific

[dusk pulsar]

I know... Some creators manage to make the process automatic by linking VRChat SDK's generated blueprint ID automatically to android.
Otherwise: Build empty Blueprint ID on PC -> switch into android to build android version - Blueprint ID is empty

[hard turtle]

please help

[cinder flare]

This worked, except I did 2 layers, one set normally and one set to "Additive". Thanks for the idea to separate them into two layers

[lunar cypress]

Now I’m gonna go bash rocks together trying to improve my quest RGB slider

[glossy barn]

My model is pink and idk how to fix it

[lunar cypress]

Wha

[waxen palm]

Can you help him

His model is pink

[lunar cypress]

Check the color of the material

[hard turtle]

missing materials / not applied

[gleaming pumice]

Alright I’m having a little problem when I try to upload said avatar, it does this

[night ember]

stop using so many parameters

[lunar cypress]

You gotta remove parameters from your avatar

[gleaming pumice]

Not my avatar, secondly how do I remove said parameters?

[night ember]

parameter list

[gleaming pumice]

And where might that be

[night ember]

the avatar descriptor

[gleaming pumice]

It’s not showing up?

[glossy barn]

No color and materials not showing up

[night ember]

the avatar descriptor is on the root of the avatar

[gleaming pumice]

Mhm I clicked on it and still couldn’t find it

[lucid harbor]

anyone know how to add a code to a avatar? (asking for someone in a server)

[gleaming pumice]

Says it’s running nothing

[heavy zephyr]

Scripts are not allowed on avatars

[lucid harbor]

oh okay

[night ember]

you gotta have it somewhere

[lucid harbor]

i didnt know that

[gleaming pumice]

?

[night ember]

probably from vrcfury or something

[left wharf]

Remove some stuff such as face tracking, avatar gimmicks
Some gimmicks use non-destructive tool like Modular Avatar, VRCFury

[heavy zephyr]

[rich gale]

how do u make a avi more then 10 mb for vr

[timber wharf]

use pcvr🤷‍♂️

[supple needle]

What shader to use so the fur part of the ears doesn’t look so blocky ?

[night ember]

any shader with transparency probably

[supple needle]

I do not know what shaders that would be (I apologize)

[night ember]

literally any pc shader

[supple needle]

I’m currently using poi toon

[night ember]

which has transparency

[supple needle]

The ears are still the same with transparency shader

[night ember]

🤷‍♂️

idk what you mean by blocky then

[supple needle]

Fur looks different in the display image

[timber wharf]

set render mode to transparent or smth at top of poi

its prob opaque now

[marble prairie]

Ok I need someone who knows what they are doing to help me please please please, I'm interested in recreating my battlejacket that I wear irl for my avatar, is there a good way to patches to a jacket or should I just make a new texture?

[orchid abyss]

my avatar's lips are supposed to be parted, but when I speak once her mouth shuts. I have no FX params or anything, just the visemes. resetting the avatar or switching out does not fix it, I have to restart vrchat to have her lips part again 😭

[dry ibex]

how do i fix this

[somber sequoia]

as it says, you have too many parameters in your avatar parameters list. Remove any you don't use, possibly remove some props or whatever you have on there

ooh I forgot to scroll down, sorry if that got solved

[gleaming pumice]

It hasn’t yet because I’m no longer able to work on said avi at the moment

[somber sequoia]

you make sure you don't have a mesh or anything else named the same as a humanoid bone. It looks like you have two armatures - don't do that

[ivory frost]

anyone know why the arms are twisting in desktop mode randomly?

[hushed thicket]

idk but have no idea why my gogoloco animations looks like this 🤣

[ivory frost]

did you upload over a old gog on the avi?

[hushed thicket]

old version of gogoloco?? idk i just downloaded that on booth

[ivory frost]

the avatar?

[hushed thicket]

its from Vroid

is a fresh import too

[ivory frost]

tbh i never used vroid for avis in vrchat ^^///

there was a creator who did but i dont remember their name

[hushed thicket]

ingame looks fine, i just trying fix the arms animation, is clipping the body

[ivory frost]

yea i have no clue could be the sdk?

[hushed thicket]

no idea i'm a newbie with that 💀

this is how it looks on vrchat

[ivory frost]

rhis in vcc

[ivory frost]

try dropping base and avatr to 3.7.2 for now

[hushed thicket]

i need restart unity?

nvm

[half ice]

can anyone please tell me whay when i make radialpuppet and swap all way to 100% look like om on 0% ..

this happens only when im on 100%

[raven orbit]

i have that issue too when using motion time for radial puppets

[night ember]

Disable loop time

[half ice]

thankssssssss

[half ice]

read that

[half ice]

.

[raven orbit]

i saw it ty 🙏

opening all my wips to fix it now finally 😭

[deep bridge]

Curious if anyone can help me out in VC with Vroid Vrchat model. Try to get it to better performance and also have it be seeable with others that use quest and etc. I've been a hot minute since i've done unity stuff so im a bit BRRR

[daring axle]

I need some help, my prop toggle is not working, When its invisible it doent appear.

and when its visible it won't go away when I turn it off

[azure crown]

Avi maker. I got a question on avatar audio. I notice that some avatars have that echo effect in some worlds and I've asked my friends and they said mine doesn't have that echo effect (hope all that makes sense)
I was wondering what setting or option I have for it to have that echo effect when in those areas

[prisma sedge]

Show how you have the animator setup

[daring axle]

I can stream it

cause when i check the mark to make the prop go invisible the toggle doesn't work

and then when I make it visible it wont dissapear with the toggle\

[prisma sedge]

Just send a video & photos

[daring axle]

ok

So when I check the box for the prop it stays with the character even if the toggle is off

[tawdry plover]

how do i make her NOT hot pink or wtv without having to pay for the shader?

[arctic ginkgo]

change the materials to a different shader

[tawdry plover]

What kind of shader tho

[arctic ginkgo]

up to you, probably a free one lol

[tawdry plover]

Do you have any suggestions thoo? im not good at this stuff 😭

[arctic ginkgo]

poiyomi is always a good option for pc

[tawdry plover]

it says i must pay for it or wtv

[arctic ginkgo]

oh yeah just get normal poiyomi

replace it with free poiyomi shader

[thorn tendon]

hello this might sound stupid but i need help

[tawdry plover]

what IS a normal poiyomi shader

[arctic ginkgo]

https://www.poiyomi.com/

[arctic ginkgo]

poiyomi isn't a type of shader it's just a shader

like you just google poiyomi and download it

then import it in your project

[thorn tendon]

i made an image of what i want my avatar to be but the thing is i don't know how to 3d model... (this is so stupid)

[tawdry plover]

okays!

[warped valley]

does anyone know how to fix this?

[prisma sedge]

Oh sorry I didnt check here until now.
Is the animation for the prop being on just a single keyframe of being turned on/off?
Animation clip 1: Prop On
Animation clip 2: prop off

[daring axle]

@prisma sedge single key farme

I'm not at my computer now

But i still appreciate that help@prisma sedge

If you wanna tell me any solutions, I'll try them once I'm back home

[somber sequoia]

put the missing bones in the proper places

[severe galleon]

select all pink balls, then you will find something called "Shader" next to it there is a long bar, click it, then click on "VR Chat" then click on "Mobile" then click on "lil toon" or "toon lit" something like that, but that's 1 of the shaders u can pick dif one(s) but for me i use this one mostly

[arctic ginkgo]

Those are quest shaders

You can use any shader you have or can find online

Well for the ones online make sure they are made for vrchat

If not, check they are made for the built in pipeline and made for vr

[wraith crag]

Question!

My avatar is giving errors about certain bones not being the first parent of x or y, and to adjust this, unity says I must unpack the armature from the prefab.

How does one do this, and what kinds of damage can that do if I do it wrong? 😮

[somber meadow]

screenshot the error, if you need to reparent your armature do that through Blender

[wraith crag]

I tried edjusting the parent order in blender but it made 0 difference. lemme grab a screen

[somber meadow]

is there any issues happening in the game with forearm and shin rotations

[wraith crag]

Not that i've noticed, but I've only got a quest 2 so i don't know if there's any oddities with fbt or not.

i mainly just wanted to figure out if i could solve that warning since it bothers me that its there, and im worried it might spook anyone who buys it lol'

[proven trellis]

how do I change the hiearchy around? I need to change the path that vrcfury looks for to fix the armature link

[somber meadow]

Is this an asset made for your avatar?

or are you just trying to force it for another avatar

[proven trellis]

hm?

[somber meadow]

The VRCFury armature link

[proven trellis]

I have it on a object that looks for this original hiearchy, but I need to change the names of this stuff to make it look for the right place

But when I change the names here I can't like

apply it

[somber meadow]

change the settings of the armature link instead of messing with the avatar's rig

you can go in the advanced settings and just rewrite paths to bones

[balmy pumice]

i got another dumb question after thinking about something unlikely. I know the basic of a material swap toggle, but can you have multiple of those animation things toggled at once? (press button and 2 separate things can be affected)

[timber wharf]

ofc, depends on your animations and conditions

[tough snow]

I am so incredibly lost with this, so just popping into your messages if you don't mind!

[balmy pumice]

i'm mostly being hypothetical since in my head i coudl try to do some basic test stuff to learn stuff. like i can make a proxy bone rig to the master/main one that the game uses, but if i make a toggle to swap between bodies,
then can that have it's own toggles to. say a hat, hat is higher on body 2 than body 1, but needs the first toggle to work. so needs something o check right? i don't think making any sense now, and it's just 3am thoughts while wanting to plan stuff

[fierce spear]

Hey, tried to fit some clothes and the blendshapes broke i think.

the Bigger Hiney option seems to be stuck as on all the time, and the blendshape seems to do nothing. Works just fine in Blender though.

And the Wider Hips blendshape seems to turn off the bigger hiney blendshape

[gleaming pumice]

I have no idea what’s going on but it’s doing this and I can’t figure out why

[left gull]

what're all the RED errors you're getting in your console?

[gleaming pumice]

It’s a validation problem

[left gull]

you've got 14 red errors generally its not the bottom-most error

[gleaming pumice]

It’s a disabled scene that it’s telling me about but the instructions told me to strictly do that

[left gull]

id suggest contacting the creator then if the model's instructions are telling you to follow a specific setup and ignore the other scene giving the errors, otherwise still send a screenshot of the errors listed or else we cant know what your actual issue is

[gleaming pumice]

I fixed it, it failed to validate because the avatar was disabled. I don’t know why it would say to disable the thing though if it won’t validate it by doing so

[cloud glade]

Does anyone know where to start to learn how to make texture and tattoos ? Im trying to make my own. Thank you 💕

[gentle goblet]

Hey I was wondering how do you give chains their own physics in blender because I know how to like weight paint and stuff but it seems like that would just look really weird and unnatural

[junior void]

Well, you need to weight paint them no matter what

[crude spear]

does someone have some good OSC tutorial ?

[hard turtle]

how do you make a toggle for phsyics bones again>

[ornate stump]

What part of osc? It's quiet a lot.

[crude spear]

tuch senseor

for haptick vest

[ornate stump]

Have you tried searching google for that?

[crude spear]

yes , and i dont find

[ornate stump]

What keyword you search?

[crude spear]

"vrc OSC touch sensor "

[ornate stump]

You'd have to search for osc haptic vest.

bHaptics specifically.

[crude spear]

but i dont have bHaptics

[ornate stump]

What touch sensor you're using?

[crude spear]

?

[ornate stump]

If you confused by that then you'd have to explain what touch sensor you actually meant.

[crude spear]

something that detect if its touched

[ornate stump]

Are you going to connect to a device?

Or output the contact to external app?

[crude spear]

to app in python to then connect to device

[ornate stump]

There would be no specific tutorial because the subject is too broad. You could start making communication between python and vrc with osc protocol states in this docs https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/osc-overview

[crude spear]

but how to add that points to avatar ?

[ornate stump]

Add contact receiver component to an object, make multiple objects if you had multiple points. Define parameter name in the contact receiver and matching parameter in osc config.

[lapis garnet]

for some reason this avi wont let me upload it anymore, even tho I've uploaded it multiple times before making small adjustment here and there. These are only errors I can find that are preventing me from uploading but I don't know to to resolve them

[hard turtle]

Anyone got any idea why my phys bone toggle isnt working it starts off being enabled, then its parent is disabled in the next sec or whateve then its a toggle. (Im not toggling the phys bone directly but its parent)

[somber sequoia]

are there any other errors, or only those two?

[lapis garnet]

the rest are just the poi toon being locked

there is only two reds

[somber sequoia]

hmm unfortunately not very useful

[azure crown]

^^^

Anyone got an idea?

[lapis garnet]

[ornate stump]

Screenshot entire unity screen when you start build and upload.

[ornate stump]

The world has audio reverb zone. This isn't exclusive to avatar.

[lapis garnet]

here's a before and after I build and upload the project

[somber sequoia]

how very poor is very poor here?

[lapis garnet]

last time I checked, the avi was around 45 for download size

Is mainly that large cause it has a decent amount of chains all over the avi plus some shaders I just haven't optimized at all yet

[lapis garnet]

I'm lost on what's wrong with the project

I can upload other avi's just fine, so I don't think it cause of where I live or my pc being the issue

[ornate stump]

Upload failed usually mean connection between your pc and server got cutoff midway, due to various reason. You might have to try using other internet like mobile hotspot.

[lapis garnet]

I've uploaded two other avi's just to test if it was a me issue or internet, but they uploaded just fine with no issues

It only happens with this avi in particular for some reason

[ornate stump]

If the file was too large and took very long time to upload, more chance that the disconnection happens.

[lapis garnet]

here's the rough size of the avi

[ornate stump]

Otherwise, you could enable API Logging in sdk setttings to get more information.

[lapis garnet]

I turned it on and this is what came up

[ornate stump]

Look for mor info item that has StatusCode.

[lapis garnet]

this stuff?

[ornate stump]

I mean scroll up.

[lapis garnet]

here's the next few full pages up

there's more that it's showing that I can send if it helps

[ornate stump]

It seems the server doesn't like your avatar thumbnail image. So try changing the image.

[lapis garnet]

weird lol, I even did it with capture with scene, I'll try a thumbnail I've used before that worked to see then lol

[lapis garnet]

It worked, thank you so much for the help. will just have the avi be a hamster for a bit till I figure out how to make the right thumb nail working again

[fiery tiger]

was there a recent update that messed with vrc stations? none of my seats seem to be working anymore when they previously did

[somber sequoia]

a few months now. The fix seems to be to enable them by default, you can disable them after about 3 frames.

[fiery tiger]

yea thats how i had it set up. it worked fine for awhile but it just stopped working recently

[somber sequoia]

hmm last I checked that was still working for me

[fierce spear]

y'all got a good avatar clothing fitting tutorial? preferably one that also goes on to getting them onto the avatar and setting the blendshapes up.

[heavy zephyr]

Do you have a face/personal mirror on?

[fiery tiger]

yes actually. would that affect it?

[heavy zephyr]

Well it should work if you have any on

[fiery tiger]

just tested it, still not workin ;-;

[heavy zephyr]

Welp- No clue then

[wet hornet]

Hope everyone's having a good night

Does anyone know why this happens? Does it have something to do with normals?

[somber sequoia]

"this" being what exactly?

[wet hornet]

The inside of the hood is invisible

[fierce spear]

I have a broken blendshape y'all, how do i fix it.
By default, blendshape 2 is active. (Shouldnt be like this.)
Blendshape 1 slider works properly, except it also makes the non-existant blendshape 1 slider go down
Blendshape 2 slider doesnt work. Period. But it exists.

please help.

Edit:
For those who come later and whose blendshapes work fine in blender but not in unity:
Try reinstalling blender. It fixed the problem for me. Was a thingy from the CATS plugin that broke it. Dunno what.

[raven orbit]

The backside of a mesh is usually invisible by default. depending on the shader you're using you may be able to turn it off but if it's mobile shaders you'd have to duplicate those faces and flip them

[somber sequoia]

oh - it's got only one face and you have backface culling on in your shader. Either duplicate the mesh to create an "inside" or turn that off.

(turning it off isn't an option for mobile shaders though)

(also turning it off is slightly worse performance)

[wet hornet]

Duplication I suppose will have to be done in blender?

[somber sequoia]

yep, that's where you do 3D modeling.

[spark walrus]

can anyone please help me download 5 avatars? please and thank you

[worn kiln]

what do you mean by that?

[spark walrus]

ive been trying to download avatars i have 5 of them i need help with but the videos confuse me

[worn kiln]

huh?
download from where?

[spark walrus]

some are creator compaion and then others are unity

[spark walrus]

but from gumroad

[worn kiln]

huh...but it's just pay and download or simply click download button usually.....

[spark walrus]

the instructions i thought i understood but for some reason i cannot put unity into cc

[somber sequoia]

"put unity into cc"?

[spark walrus]

like add it in

[abstract gulch]

hey guys, im kind of having a problem. So this is my first time buying an avatar from gumroad, and i am trying to upload it. BUT it says i cant as i am apparently new to vrchat and i need to earn a trusted rank, Although i have had vrchat installed for a fairly long time (2 years) but started playing it a few months ago. I have been in worlds and made friends, i have been on it for more than a atleast 2 hours whenever i play, yet its saying this. and when i open"developer FAQ" it's saying i should play for longer.

so im not sure what to do

[wet hornet]

just play more.

add people

[abstract gulch]

as i said, i have been.

[wind skiff]

more :)

[wet hornet]

^

More.

[wind skiff]

sitting around afk doesn't do much, if you've been doing that

[abstract gulch]

i haven't.

[wet hornet]

Kylo ren style more though

[left gull]

?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]

Also you need this to be a vrchat account, not quest or steam

[worn kiln]

drag and drop unitypackage file you downloaded directly into unity. (not VCC), I think this solve it.

[abstract gulch]

so will i need to install vrchat to my pc?

[wind skiff]

no, just a vrchat account

[abstract gulch]

i have one.

[spark walrus]

okay thank you, not to be rude at all but could we call and i screen share?

[wind skiff]

does it have four random numbers and letters at the end?

[abstract gulch]

yeah

[wind skiff]

in game i mean

[abstract gulch]

well did

i think

[wind skiff]

then that's not a vrchat account

[abstract gulch]

so how do i get that..

[wind skiff]

sec

https://wiki.vrchat.com/wiki/Account_merging

or

[arctic ginkgo]

it can take a few days, you'll be able to upload once you reach "new user" rank

[abstract gulch]

alright, so i've merged it. and how would i know if i reached "new user" rank.

[wind skiff]

go to vrchat.com, log in and check what rank you are by clicking on your profile

or just try uploading again

[worn kiln]

too busy at the moment.
if you need more help, ask here, or create thread on #1139216499123437668 or #1138891887374237706

[abstract gulch]

okay so i also found out there's something wrong with the avatar i bought and currently trying to publish. how do i fix it..

[wind skiff]

should be allowed to upload now

[wind skiff]

what's wrong with it?

[abstract gulch]

i'll screnshot it.

screenshot*

i dont know if this is bad or not and how to fix this since it's my first time buying an avatar.

[somber sequoia]

huh, how'd I make red text

[abstract gulch]

huh

[sly lodge]

it seems terrible, but you can upload it anyway

[left gull]

this is super un-optimized but lowering the texture rez should allow an upload

credits to liindy

[abstract gulch]

it doesnt let me..

[wet hornet]

i think that means your message didnt send

[abstract gulch]

also.

why is it pink.

[somber sequoia]

yeah it doesn't clearly indicate that though, I thought it did, or gave me a resend option. Oh well.

[wet hornet]

Yeah its weird

[somber sequoia]

what I said was "that's quite bad indeed"

[somber sequoia]

broken or missing shader on your material

[abstract gulch]

should i js redo it.

[somber sequoia]

redo what?

[wet hornet]

just put the vrchat shader on it

[somber sequoia]

Go look at the material, it should be pretty clear if it's a shader problem, right at the top

[abstract gulch]

how do i do that

[somber sequoia]

Time to watch a tutorial on the very basics.

but basically click on the mesh object, and in the inspector window look for the materials list at the bottom. expand the pink one and probably it's got some thing about a missing shader right at the top of it

[abstract gulch]

i already deleted it..😭

[somber sequoia]

alright then

[abstract gulch]

im reedoing the whole thing

is anyone free to call so i could screenshare.

[somber sequoia]

@abstract gulch don't do that

[abstract gulch]

oh alright

[sly lodge]

you would need to check what shaders does your model use, but lilToon and poiyomi are the most common ones, and if you would install those packages, it would fix the look of your model

or just use the default toon lit, but it probably won't look as good

[pine valley]

Is it not possible to copy an animated animator parameter with an Avatar Parameter Driver behaviour?

I'm always getting a zero

It works fine in the editor when testing with the Gesture Manager, but it doesn't work in-game

[sharp kayak]

does anyone know how to make an avatar unrippable?

[pine valley]

I noticed that, even when I put the parameters into my expression parameter list, they always appear as a zero in the avatar debug menu

[somber sequoia]

seems to work for me

[pine valley]

in-game, not just in the editor?

[somber sequoia]

the best you can do is make it slightly harder

[pine valley]

(the ones that are controlled by animations, I mean)

[somber sequoia]

yeah works in both places last I checked

[pine valley]

Actually, it's possible that I'm just getting misled by this

[somber sequoia]

haha, been there 🙂

[pine valley]

Because I'm pretty sure it was literally failing to set a 1 at one point

Must be having a problem elsewhere

[flat smelt]

I'm trying to get 2 materials into specific areas, but I dont know how to. plus, whenever I try to learn myself, it just fills the entire object with the material, which works well, except when it doesn't in specific areas. Can someone tell me how to fix this please?

[somber sequoia]

In Unity? You don't. You assign materials to faces in Blender or similar. Unity can only apply materials to existing material slots.

Though, with an advanced shader you could possibly mask out a certain area and do something different with it, or apply a decal to a specific place.

[flat smelt]

oh, ok. ill try and mesh the two in a way where it works. thanks! 🙂

[somber sequoia]

note that each extra material slot comes with decreased performance

so if you can do it in one material, that'd be much better

[flat smelt]

got it.

thanks again for the help!

[hard turtle]

Anyone got any idea why my phys bone toggle isnt working it starts off being enabled, then its parent is disabled in the next sec or whateve then its a toggle. (Im not toggling the phys bone directly but its parent)

please

[pine valley]

hmm, I can't get even a simple example to work

I have one layer that animates Foo from 0 to 1 once per second

In the editor, copying Foo into another parameter works fine. I get different values at different times

In-game, I always get zero

[somber sequoia]

I have a case where when I do an action in the game, I copy two settings to temporary variables, then restore them after the action is done

[pine valley]

I'm talking specifically about animated animator parameters

[somber sequoia]

yep, using exactly that ^

[pine valley]

"settings" sounds more like something that's just being controlled by your avatar menu

not a parameter being driven directly by an animation

[somber sequoia]

sorry, I meant animator parameter here.

[pine valley]

I have a layer that calculates a smooth transition from one value to another. I'm trying to make it interruptable by copying the current value out, then using that as my new starting point

oh no, feedback comment from 2022

dang, so this is going to be a bust

[hard turtle]

;-;

[pine valley]

I don't understand what the problem is

So you're deactivating a parent game object, then reactivating it?

and the physbone isn't working after doing that?

[hard turtle]

its what ive always done to make a phys bone toggl

nah just isnt workin at all

works in play mode :_)

no where else

[pine valley]

What isn't working? The parent object isn't toggling off and on?

[hard turtle]

no that seems to be working, the bone itself just ceases all function its working in playmode now magically by restarting unity so well see once its uploadd

[spark walrus]

Is there anyone with extensive knowledge in uploading avatars for cc and unity that can vc with me, and let me screen share? i need help downloading 5 avatars ill pay $50 in total for the 5 avatars.

[raven phoenix]

#1204506421631393913 message is the only safe place to ask for a paid service. Do not respond to DM's from members of this server responding to you here.

If you have a computer, importing a pre-made avatar into Unity and uploading it to your account is just a few clicks. Plenty of videos and guides are out there that have covered the process in great detail.

[junior void]

downloading?

[spark walrus]

thank you!

[pine valley]

Yeah, uploading premade avatars is pretty darn simple

(heck, slamming an FBX into Unity and getting a working avatar is also remarkably painless)

(but that excludes all the customization and menus and whatnot :p)

[hard turtle]

hes finally working

[somber sequoia]

I'd try to not go past Poor

Some will ask for medium, but usually if there are limits, it's "poor or better".

[raven orbit]

i'd aim for medium or better if possible

[steep herald]

Last event I was at, they booted anything worse than medium

[somber sequoia]

yeah I always do medium for this stuff too

but I feel if you're asking, you've probably got some work to do 🙂

[gleaming pumice]

Is there a way to up the maximum mesh count for Android?

[somber sequoia]

hard limits are hard limits. Nope.

[hushed egret]

Does anyone know how to completely disable hand movement on certain gestures? I'm using wings which are mapped to fingers but i would like them to be still like the first image unless I was doing fist/thumbs up. Does anyone know how to do this? If i put no animation or just and blank one it seems to revert to vrc's standard in play mode (image 2)

[somber sequoia]

VRC Animator Tracking Control - set the hands to "Animation" while the animation is active and back to "Tracking" when done.

[hushed egret]

Where would I find that?

[somber sequoia]

you add it to an animator state: https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/state-behaviors#animator-tracking-control

[hushed egret]

Found it, thank uuu :3

[static cipher]

For making a model quest-compatible, do I just make a copy of the project and when exporting, export for Android instead? Or is there a way to upload for Android using the original project without the issues caused by swapping between Android and Windows constantly?

[hushed egret]

Hmm it seems I'm still having issues, are these the correct settings?

Sorry I've never worked with gestures before 😅

[somber sequoia]

If those are the things you want to animate, sure. Also this is in the Gesture animator, right? Not FX?

[hushed egret]

The first image is in play mode using gesture manager yes, I have the tracking control settings set to that on all of the gestures I dont wish to use

I want the wings to be straight out for if im not making any gestures

[somber sequoia]

so you didn't answer my question: which animator are you working in?

if it's not Gesture, this isn't going to work properly

[hushed egret]

Oh sorry I misunderstood, yes these are the hand settings on the gesture animator

[somber sequoia]

okay good

so then what issues are you now having?

[hushed egret]

I dont want the hands to be in a posistion with the fingers inclined like this while im not imputting a gesture, I currently just have a blank animation in that slot but it seems to be overriden or something and goes into vrc's default resting hand animation

[summer hearth]

Not sure if id ask here but, if i have two different scenes with two avatars in one project, one with a quest version and one pc, is that possible or do i need to have 2 separate projects?

[somber sequoia]

entirely possible but you will of course have to switch build targets to upload them

[summer hearth]

But uploading them is possible?

To the same ID

[somber sequoia]

you might need to make an animation for the gesture you want, if you don't, it'll just be the default

[hushed egret]

Gotcha, I'll try that 🫡

[somber sequoia]

Yes, one scene, multiple scenes, multiple projects doesn't really matter

[summer hearth]

Sweeeet, saves me from having to duplicate files

[somber sequoia]

oh yeah, don't duplicate files if you don't need to 🙂

I generally keep all of my avatars which use the same base in the same project, with multiple scenes.

and share a lot of files

[wind skiff]

you can even set platform-specific overrides to textures, so you can set a pc texture to 2048 and an android/quest/ios texture to 512

without needing the texture file twice

[summer hearth]

Ooo alr

[hushed egret]

Thank worked, tysm!!!!

[somber sequoia]

awesome!

[dusk spoke]

good news, newest update has fixed my issue, thank you devs!! 🙏 🥳

[static cipher]

So you can just make a new scene and copy-paste the pc one into it, make changes to make it quest-compatible, and post?

[timber wharf]

you can have one scene

with both

[sour oxide]

hello

[timber wharf]

just disable inactive one

[sour oxide]

can anyone help me?

[warped valley]

does anyone know why my model is inside out even after flipping normals? its all blue in blender, but in unity its see through.

[somber sequoia]

you don't have the shader's culling setting set to front instead of back, do you?

or perhaps the scaling set to a negative number?

[lone flax]

How do I put clothes with armature on my avatar?

[night ember]

the not multiplying the armature way is taking it into blender and if its the same bone names reparent to the avatar's armature

[warped valley]

I dont know how to check if it is

[somber sequoia]

in the "item" tab of the "n" popup on the right in Blender, see if any scaling is not 1 and if so apply transforms.
In Unity you can just look at the scaling in the Transform box of the root object. probably this isn't it, but I've seen weirder things.

[warped valley]

That was the problem! Thank you so much

[somber sequoia]

wow! That was a guess 🙂

[livid rapids]

I got a clipping problem with my coat. It looks like a mirror modifier clipping to be honest. I've checked the modifiers and the weight painting but they seem fine. Also this only happens when the legs are too close to each other.

If anyone answers, I'll try to test your solution tomorrow since it's late for me and I'm not using my laptop as I'm writing this

[dry ibex]

To make those bright emission textures, people say to use standard lite, then emission. But i was wondering if i could also use like idk lightmapped or something cus standard lite does this weird shine thing and i dont like it.

[runic ether]

Hey there, having issues with a tail puppet on an a commission. whenever I click off of the avatar mask for the tail, it seems to delete the information that put in and remove the skeleton I had imported

anyone know a fix to this?

[gentle goblet]

Hey so I have a question, the socks that come with the Zinfit base, why do they clip when the legs bend and how do I fix that without them looking weird, like would it be a weight paint issue or should I sculpt them and yeah just be careful?

[night ember]

weight paint

[gentle goblet]

But I tried thatttt, like idk how I'm ment to edit it to fix it, I've done it with so many other things but with the socks it's harder, like should I make it more or less intense?

[oak bone]

Remove armature modifier from the clothing. Click body, click clothing, go into weight painting mode. Transfer skin weights. Settings to change in the transfer skin weight menu--> Nearest face interpolated, by name, and change the 0 to a 5.Go out of weight painting mode. Re-add the armature modifier to the clothing. Should work

[junior void]

Why remove armature mod for mesh weight transfer

[oak bone]

Sometimes it just doesn't want to transfer the weights if the clothing is already weighted to the armature

[junior void]

I never had that issue ever in my life but ok

[oak bone]

It happens to me like 50% of the time. Could be my blender version. Idk

[modern seal]

I am putting on a choker for my avi in unity and im using VRC Fury to do it. when I launch gesture manager it unalligns the choker from my neck slightly and tilts it back. how do I keep it in the place I want it before and after launching gesture manager?

[gentle goblet]

I have no idea what this ment but I did it all, just had to select "Fix Model" at the end and yeah, now it's working perfectly..thank you so much XD ♡

Um one more question, but I bought a bodysuit where the middle is ment to be a transparent mesh, but it's a solid black and I don't know why it isn't going transparent.

This is what I've done to try and fix it. I have deleted the normal texture and the Alpha one, I have applied base color 1 to the base color, the Emission map to the emission slot and Alpha Map 2 to the Alpha. I made sure Blend mode is set to Alpha Hashed and made sure that the Color Space is set to Non-Color and it is still a solid black >~>

[runic ether]

Weird issue I'm having setting up a puppet for the tail

I have everything set up correctly but it doesn't work

[smoky spindle]

I’ve been trying to find someone help me with this model I downloaded. The model was designed to be 3D printed but I really wanted it as an avatar so I downloaded it hoping to import it. Unfortunately, this is my first time doing stuff like this. The only problem so far is the rigging and bone stuff. Since it was initially a model for a 3D printer, it doesn’t have any bones or anything. I would need to completely rig the model myself but I’m new so I don’t know what to do. So if anyone could help me, I’d appreciate it 🙏

[raven orbit]

your "Tail" puppet menu is using VRCFaceBlend instead of TailBlend?

[thin rivet]

Idk if you already solved this but: https://vrc.school/docs/Other/Scale-Friendly#12ffd925c0fd4776b0116e01ead50121
This has examples on how to use parameters that way, I believe the advanced blend tree techniques section also has ways to replicate what the parameter driver does

[runic ether]

how did I not see that lol

[oak bone]

No problem!

[oak bone]

The alpha is your transparency texture. No need to remove either the albedo (color) or the alpha transparency. Your problem might be the shader mode not being set to transparent or whatever in unity

[gentle goblet]

I'm still in blender, would the transparency be something you can only see in unity?

[oak bone]

That's a shader thing. Don't worry about it in blender

It should work fine in unity as long as the material is set up

[oak bone]

You could try autorigging it using adobe's autorigger called Mixamo

[smoky spindle]

Oh nice, I’ll try that. Thank you

[smoky spindle]

It went horribly wrong. I think it’s the model itself.

[broken bone]

Models made for 3D printing not only lack a rig, but they often lack good topology as well

Both are required for clean deformations

[gentle goblet]

I have a question, if I want like multiple clothes do I just add them in blender then hide them when I'm not working on them?

[somber sequoia]

that's what I do

and when I export I show whatever I want on the model, join them into one "outfit" mesh and export

[smoky spindle]

I figured, its the only model i could find plus i don't have the experience to make it from scratch

[left gull]

if you make a post in #1138520828556890214 someone else might possibly know of another version of the model from a different creator

[proper depot]

Making a hue shift toggle and it works fine, but for some reason at certain angles it does not show this hue shift, there are no duplicate materials and I know its not the material itself because it does snap back to the base gold on the ponytail??? Idk how to explain it this is so odd, these photos are from the same instance, nothing has changed yet from a slightly different angle it is back to the base color

[smoky spindle]

i did a little bit earlier, no one has responded yet. I was looking for an avatar of the RX-105 Ξ Xi Gundam

[left gull]

ah if its a rig issue theres one on DA that's pre-rigged

seems like it allows upload to VRChat though you'd need to figure out the bowlroll password

[dry ibex]

im a quest user and i made a avatar, and it looks perfect on quest. But pc users tell me its insanely bright and it makes their entire surroundings white in light. How do i fix this?

[raven orbit]

maybe use a different shader on pc

[broken bone]

Sounds like there might be a light somewhere on your avatar. You wouldn't see that on Quest since they're disabled for quest, but anyone on PC would see it.

might be a unity light, or imported with the FBX

[west cipher]

anyone have an idea why the hands are like this? no gestures in the descriptor

[winter edge]

Is it possible to easily mirror a transform?

[somber meadow]

in Unity or blender

[winter edge]

unity sorry

[somber sequoia]

you can copy the transform component, paste it, then just negate one of the coordinates

[oak bone]

Whatcha mean by horribly wrong?

[smoky spindle]

well my model looked fleshy and squishy. the model is a robot/mech so it isn't necessarily supposed to do that

[winter edge]

What if rotating it ends up adjusting multiple values across position and rotation?

Is there an easy way to get a true 1:1 mirror in this case?

[somber sequoia]

maybe i'm not sure what mirroring means here, usually it's just done on a single axis

[smoky spindle]

it seems they all got it from the steam workshop. for whatever reason, i can't download it

[vestal sand]

So i wanted to upload an avatar but then it said there's been an error and to check the console, i did and i don't know what to do, i thought it would be a script not working but i found nothing, have i missed something ?

[somber sequoia]

if there are more errors please paste the first (top) 2-3

[oak bone]

that's just the weightpainting

you'd have to fix that yourself for a robot

[vestal sand]

those ?

[somber sequoia]

hmm nothing very useful there. You're sure there's nothing above?

[smoky spindle]

well crap, i don't have the experience for that. Might just get someone to make it for me

[vestal sand]

my bad

[somber sequoia]

still nothing very useful there unfortunately.

[vestal sand]

ok

i'll try again

tha's the rest

[somber meadow]

you could just remove the AI navigation package from your project, it's not needed for Avatar projects at all

Window > Package Manager > Set filter to "In Project"

[vestal sand]

i found this

could this be the issue ?

[somber meadow]

that's not the package with errors in the console

[vestal sand]

ok

i removed the ai navigation

it worked

thanks!

[hard turtle]

why are my tracking balls so far up my legs?

[somber meadow]

The avatar isn't scaled properly to your proportions

[hard turtle]

ok but like my other avatar is way worse at that but has less of an issue with that

i was just curious if im meant to seperate the foot and leg bone or not or smthin

[somber meadow]

https://github.com/triazo/immersive_scaler

[halcyon blade]

Material is going black in Render mode, I've checked the Shadow Catcher and it is off, any other advices?

[somber meadow]

Are you talking about blender?

[soft willow]

What is going on with the vrc uploads recently? Both my fiancé and I have been having this CONSISTENT error everytime we’ve tried uploading avatars since the more recent updates. She provided me with a screenshot to show here.

[queen linden]

Is there anyone here that can help with a shape key or two? Specifically two blinking shape keys that ended up screwing up somehow. The eyelash mesh bent into the face on one side for one, and the other has no animating mesh. It's just the base with two vertices moving up and down when going from 0 to 1.

I think I fixed it..?

[gritty hatch]

So I've had a few avatars for years now and for some reason they keep security check failed since today what new shit has vrc done to ruin avatars now?

[dusk pulsar]

Avatars being really unoptimized or having bad compression. I agree that the system is bad, but in one way - less crashers and better performance.

I had to re-upload avi completely since there was an error with script even when everything is fine - Marker. Security checks failed on the first.

[queen trail]

Does anyone know how to fix this to where its in the original pose instead of being in the idle animation pose

[hard turtle]

any advice for future models would be greatly appreciated :)

[wind skiff]

Educated guess :3

[dusk pulsar]

Click on prefab in hierarchy and on the right remove animator controller, which should be above your avatar's rig. First or second tab?

Or try to quit playmode / preview

[queen trail]

this dont work its just stuck like this

[dusk pulsar]

Follow the first thing I've mentioned. Whenever you make an animation, an animator controller attaches to the avi and you need to remove it after you're done, otherwise it can cause issues.

Or... if you installed gogo loco, you probably forgot to add something.

[proper depot]

Hello! I made a breathing animation for my avatar, i want it as an idle for my avatar, can I ask how I would do this???

I have the animation working but I cant get it to do it continously

[dusk pulsar]

In FX layer add state, and just make idle state. Set weight to 1. Assign animation. That's all. Also, mark animation as loop by clicking on the animation itself and navigating on the right

[proper depot]

ahhhhhh!! Tysm! Just saved me a headache and a half

[dusk pulsar]

You would probably need to make animation go from 0 to 100 and then back to 0 to loop it.

[proper depot]

yeee haha, I did : )

Just couldnt figure out for the life of me how to keep it goin, thanks again!@

[bronze niche]

Is there text formatting for avatar descriptions?

[flint current]

whenever i delete the fx layer for my shoes, part of the feet disappear and im unsure how to fix this, the same thing happens when i try to delete the fx layer for arm warmers (when i put my hoodie on arm warmers dissappear) and they become like sticks lol
from what i know its because of the animation since part of a body doesnt need to be shows if the shoes are om/arm warmers are on

i wanna be able to delete the fx layer for shoes and arm warmers without this happening basically

[dusk pulsar]

When removing you could select mesh, then enter Edit mode, go to materials tab and click on material, press select - to select all parts related to that texture. Or... press L on keyboard to select a single mesh and remove it.

If that doesn't solve anything, then select the missing part's corners and press F to fill the gap, which you can subdivide. Or use mirror modifier to copy and paste part from another leg as example, which is more accurate, attach it, and add weight paint.

[flint current]

i forgot to mention this is in unity

not blender

[inland seal]

When I export a model I imported from Unity in blender. The whole model becomes invisible in the unity.

[dusk pulsar]

Bad FBX export settings or bad scaling

Export as FBX ALL, uncheck leaf bones, check Apply Transforms. If that doesn't help. Look into unity's fbx, and if it says 1 cm, then you will need to scale everything by 100 times in Blender and export as 0.01 scale and the same settings I've mentioned earlier.

Those are the main problems when it comes to transferring settings from original fbx to your own version or replacing the old one with new one.

Also, it could be boundary settings, if they are too small, your avi will be invisible.

[inland seal]

Wha
