[somber sequoia]

unless your shader actually supports that, you'd have to combine them somehow

[barren wharf]

does poiyomi support that

[somber sequoia]

if so, it'd be in the documentation

(I don't recall but don't think so)

er, I guess you could try using either the RGBA masking or maybe decals

you might be able to have a decal replace the base alpha map, I haven't tried it though

[pseudo crag]

It's fine now

I got word that I should get auto rig pro

And I got it

Now just to learn how to use it

[inland seal]

I still dont know how I can decrease Skinned mesh renderers amount using Pumkin

[junior void]

i dont think you can

[inland seal]

I have been told its possible

Idk how to use Pumkin that much

[junior void]

you could always look it up in the documentation

[somber sequoia]

I don't believe that's a thing it does.

[trail skiff]

The symetry pose option inside blender seems to not be working for me, will that affect the avatar ingame or na?

[somber sequoia]

symmetry pose option?

I wouldn't expect so though, whichever thing you mean

[trail skiff]

This thing

[somber sequoia]

ah ok. So it depends on why that doesn't work - possibly the object's origin is not at the world origin?

[trail skiff]

the rig or everything?

[somber sequoia]

everything - you can usually just select all objects, hit ctrl+a and apply all transforms.

in this case the right may be wrong

[trail skiff]

Thank you for the help, oh though i nailed down the problem

[somber sequoia]

oh, what was it?

[trail skiff]

putting it shortly, i just redid the Rig witch was no problem. but the original problem i think was that the rig was very jank and uneven since I did it on the wrong axis.

[somber sequoia]

ahh, yep, that'd do it

[trail skiff]

should note that the reason why it was uneven is because I had to eye it since symmetrise didnt work.

[pseudo crag]

I think I messed up somewhere.

💀

[little sun]

Where do I go into the animation layer to turn off the slow down occurs when your view point is close to the floor?

[somber sequoia]

VRChat is assuming you're crouching, I suspect you'd have to build your own locomotion without that

[little sun]

I cant go into the default layer and siable that?

disable*

[somber sequoia]

sure, look in the default layer you've already got in use.

[torn pollen]

Hey y'all, i'm not sure if anyone might have an answer to this but i just thought i'd ask,
you guys ever have a problem where you mess with Blendshapes in Unity and they won't save over to VRChat? Usually i'd think this is an animator problem but i have no animations on this avatar at all. Just defaults

[little sun]

You dont have an fx layer at all?

the only time i ever encountered that is when there was something burried in the fx layer

usually its because creators love to create animations that have ALL the blendshapes in the animations and set them to zero except for the blendshape they are executing

[torn pollen]

Hmmmm, I see. Yeah, i just put the default on for now but even then when uploading the Blendshapes won't staaay. I will try to dig into the FX tho.

[little sun]

yeah, gurantee there is an animation defaulted to on somewhere that sets everything to zero.

Drives me crazy

[long raven]

does any one know a fix?

[somber sequoia]

click "configure" and map the correct bones into the correct slots

[torn pollen]

My friend found the fix!! With my animations off, it was still technically an animation but it was the blendshape states for the eyes that overwrote it.

[barren wharf]

ok doing the decal helped but now that i put on the second one as a decal, my body's skin is paper white

[somber sequoia]

really can't help much based on just that

(also there's a poiyomi discord that might be useful)

[barren wharf]

oh ok thank you

[somber sequoia]

I haven't actually done the thing I mentioned, I was just thinking it might actually work

[balmy barn]

decal need scaling or it will cover the material , you can use positioning tool

[somber sequoia]

I was thinking maybe masking

[barren wharf]

oh how do i do that

[somber sequoia]

have you read the poiyomi docs on decals?

[barren wharf]

wait i found it thanks

[little sun]

i completely deleted anything related to crouching and ven removed he locomotion layer. it still slows me don as if im crouching

i just want to remove any possible slow down

[somber sequoia]

removing your custom base layer will result in vrchat's default one.
Also I'm not entirely sure you can prevent this either

[little sun]

i even removed he default so here is no loomotion layer available

[barren wharf]

wait i found out why it turns my skin paper white, it's because the alpha mask is paper white outside of the arms part

[somber sequoia]

if it's a humanoid avatar, a default will be applied when you have none

[little sun]

ergh

cant fid nything in documentation if the speed change cn e disabled

[lusty jay]

Anyone know of any free blender fur brushes?

I can’t find any

[long raven]

nothing happens when I click configure

[somber sequoia]

look in all of your Inspector windows, it might pop into one you don't expect.

(this annoys me each time)

[thorn marsh]

simple question
anyone know anby videos for making clothing from scarcth for avatars

[quasi briar]

Anyone know why the blendshapes aren't appearing? Super confused.. never seen this before.

[somber sequoia]

did you just export from Blender?

[quasi briar]

Ye

[somber sequoia]

you probably have an un-applied modifier which can't auto-apply

[quasi briar]

Ah yeah that would probably be it

It came with a collision modifier that I didnt remove

[somber sequoia]

yep, that'll do it

I was trying to do a cloth thing recently and forgot I had a collision modifier like five times in a row

[quasi briar]

Lmao

That worked! Thank you :)

[somber sequoia]

nice

[trail skiff]

while configuring the rig for my avatar, the shinbones appear red and im not sure why

[junior void]

Pose-> enforce tpose might do it

[trail skiff]

wheres that again?

[young cairn]

Does anyone know how to make a character with a 2D face?

like, rig it

[balmy barn]

no you appear as a scammer since you appeared id never trust you , even know how to use a tilesheet ?

have face on its own material and uv shift with a tilesheet to animate speech/ect , other way is using blendshapes but that will require some editing in the mesh

every message you said today (and you are 1 day old) scammer isnt in this discord anymore 🔨 another one will appear soon

easy tilsheet exsample

[left gull]

offering commissions of any kind isnt allowed here scammer or not

[balmy barn]

dare you to show your images of avatars you done/converted/optimized in blender since you kept repeating it like a copy paste

[left gull]

and they're gone haha

[somber sequoia]

yep, they don't last.

[left blade]

Heyo, im having some trouble setting up a simple toggle for the glasses on my avi, i (think) ive set up everything correctly and am able to toggle them by changing things around in the Animator.

But when i try to press play the Parameter seems to not care about what i do in the expressions menu

[bronze loom]

Would someone be able to assist me in adding a chair to my avatar? I cant seem to get it working no what i do

[oak bone]

When legs lock on the avatar during full body tracking (leg irl isn't fully extended, but avatar legs are), would moving the avatar descriptor view ball up a little bit help remedy this?

[young cairn]

wh.. im sorry i came off that way, im not here to scam, ive been here for a while now

[oak bone]

Can i see the menu section of your avatar descriptor

[left blade]

This here?

[oak bone]

And can you zoom in on the parameters in your 3rd image

[young cairn]

i just want to know how to animate a 2d face

[oak bone]

Yeah but where the other menus are

Like your playable fx layer i think it's called?

[left blade]

oh, this here?

[jagged marlin]

i want to do a dissolve toggle using poiyomi, however when loading in half of my clothes start dissolved and only load in a second after using the dissolve animation i did, however all use the same state machine in the animator. on is none, turn on and off are dissolve and the same played in reverse

[oak bone]

No there is an area where you have other menus. If I was at my pc I'd show

Lemme see if I can find

[trail skiff]

anybody know what these errors mean?

[oak bone]

This

[left blade]

ohhhhh gotcha, sorry<

[balmy barn]

was another guy he gone now, cause couldnt show any exsample of their stuff (also spamming on multiple channels)

[oak bone]

Ok so you do have the layer set up. That's all I wanted to see. Can you show me a close up of the parameter from the first set of images you sent, the third image but zoomed

I wanna see the error next to your glasses parameter

[left blade]

oh its not an error, just false

since im trying to have the glasses deactivated by default

[oak bone]

Maybe have it not be set to false and instead have it toggled on by an animation, with the prop just being not toggled on by the default animation

Unless you have an error in your animations you made, everything else seems right

[left blade]

ALright, ill try it thank you

[oak bone]

Hope you figure it out :/

[left blade]

me too... ive spent way too much time on this

[balmy barn]

check if this is 1 otherwise wont do much

2d face stuff , create tilesheet of faces and animate offset ( 4x4 = 0.25x0.25 each < do math) , exsample of it there

I just loop 4 whenever voice is detected and rest for gestures

if its a pc shader decals can be animated

[left blade]

No luck, guess ill just not have glasses then :(

[astral cosmos]

i made an avatar last night and the clothing layers clip through each other as well as the body clipping though both clothing layers. any idea how i can fix this?

the clothing is one mesh

[somber sequoia]

without any further detail, better weight painting is my best guess

[fervent depot]

Okay, I have tried quite literally everything. I made it all one material, one texture, changed mesh names, took of the FX, took of the Parameters, took off all bones, all colliders.

Normally she had 29 Materials, all textures were compressed to 1K, she had an idle face animation, tail animation.

She will not for the life of anything pass the VRC Security Checks. Any Ideas?

[somber sequoia]

wow triangles

[balmy barn]

60 materials 383k

[somber sequoia]

60! ugh

[fervent depot]

I promise it isn't that bad, I've refreshed the thing 80 times

[little sun]

You can have 1 material, but if eveything is a seperated mesh, each slot counts as 1 material

[fervent depot]

She's under 200k in Blender

Triangle wise

[raven orbit]

300 bones 💀

[fervent depot]

I took those off

Still didn't change the not passing security checks

Tried doing it on a different day too.

[little sun]

Do you have some vrcfury program adding clothes or something to it?

[fervent depot]

I have Fury in the project but I am not using it

My most recent attempt at finding whatever it is

[raven orbit]

If you made everything have the same material in blender you should also join all the meshes into one

[fervent depot]

I didn't do that in Blender

I did it in Unity to test if it was the Material or Texture

She normally looks like this

[little sun]

oh man are those mesh chains

[somber sequoia]

oh ugh, probably

[fervent depot]

😿

If I sad yes

I've uploaded worse models, which just makes me more confused 😿

[somber sequoia]

it's ok, this is what blocking is for 🙂

[little sun]

I feel like im looking at more than 200K just in this head shot 😛 I dont think unity is wrong atm

[fervent depot]

That is in Blender

Her bones in Blender

For example on my issue, I uploaded this model 2 days ago

[somber sequoia]

I get annoyed when I'm 2k over 70,000

(which just happened, grr)

[fervent depot]

I get annoyed when worse models upload and mine don't 😢

Again I've tried everything new projects and all I have no clue what's wrong

[somber sequoia]

I agree, the error with no explanation is pretty ridiculous.

[fervent depot]

Done been 3 days and like 15 people trying to help me

I wanna throw it away!

Someone told me to just restart so I JUST might do that

😿

[next yew]

still having an issue with this, need help pls

[somber sequoia]

select the right avatar, if you have multiple in the scene.

[next yew]

only one in the scene

[fervent depot]

Unpack the model

[somber sequoia]

no

that's bad advice

and won't fix this anyway

[next yew]

i do however have 4 other assets on the avatar in the scene, it was working before i added the the boat and coin toggle

[somber sequoia]

That message at the bottom of this image will be a problem

[next yew]

it says that on all the toggles and still worked before , will it prevent me from uploading?

[somber sequoia]

do you actually want a generic rig?

[next yew]

maybe

[little sun]

Um

[little sun]

Verts are the points... tris are the trinagles in blender....

[next yew]

rig looks like this

[somber sequoia]

can't tell what the red issues are but you probably want to go look at that

[next yew]

yeah those are the fingers, i tried enforce t-pose but it didnt work so i assume i have to fix it in blender itself

[somber sequoia]

you can actually reposition those in the rig setup in Unity. not sure that's ideal. Verify all the bones are in the right places, if it thinks it isn't humanoid, usually that's for a reason

[next yew]

tried to reposition but it just forces it back to broken after i click apply and done

[fervent depot]

1: I made the model?

2: I said I re-named the meshes

😕

[little sun]

Why are you unable to upload it?

the error messages werent in the screen shots?

[fervent depot]

^'

They are not any errors

[little sun]

Where does it hard stop you?

[fervent depot]

No where

It uploads

Doesn't pass security checks

[delicate palm]

It's the security check after uploading it which is really weird cause it seems fine compared to that other avi that Offset uploaded

[somber sequoia]

got any particle systems which destroy themselves on stop?

though i think the SDK checks for that now

[little sun]

Ive never personally ran into security check issues but I think they were introduced to prevent crasher shaders from being utilized

So something may have some type of issue that vrchat sees as a potential problem

I dont think it has to do with your materials or tris

probably a shader you are using is getting flagged

[fervent depot]

Got rid of them

[somber sequoia]

wouldn't surprise me if it's the 60 material slots

[delicate palm]

I think if it keeps giving you the failed security check you could try contacting vrchat support about it and hopefully they could see if it's just an error

[fervent depot]

Uploaded an avatar with more 2 days ago

[fervent depot]

It's only my one model

[somber sequoia]

perhaps the security checker didn't hit that one yet, I don't think that's conclusive evidence.

[fervent depot]

WDYM

They're alreayd uploaded

Uploaded it yesterday

[somber sequoia]

so?

[fervent depot]

WDYM so

It has to pass checks for it to be used in public lobbies..?

🤨

[somber sequoia]

VRChat has said the security checker runs on its own, separately

and it's seemed... buggy.

[fervent depot]

But on only one avatar?

That has had everything changed..?

[somber sequoia]

you could submit a bug report and have them look at it

[lusty jay]

I’m getting like, 7 errors when I try to build and test.

Assetbundle, error while saving due to missing script

[somber sequoia]

install whatever thing is missing

[lusty jay]

But I don’t know what’s missing

[somber sequoia]

or remove the script

[left gull]

check the model's description/download page

they generally list whats required and where to get them

[lusty jay]

I’ve got everything

[somber sequoia]

and yet, there's something missing

[lusty jay]

You don’t need to be condescending

[left gull]

it wouldnt give the error if you had everything it required is what kazin's saying

[somber sequoia]

oh I'm not, I'm saying that there's still something missing

[lusty jay]

It says something about uniVRM?
Aren’t those and vrc avatars different tho?

[somber sequoia]

really nothing you can do except install whatever requirement there is, or remove the broken script.

[somber sequoia]

feel free to paste this message here.

[lusty jay]

I mean, I downloaded it but idk where it goes and it doesn’t say what to use it for

[somber sequoia]

yeah that doesn't seem like a thing you need for vrchat.

[left gull]

that sounds like its got 2 options in the package, does it have multiple packages/options and you're using the vtubing version on accident?

[lusty jay]

No it’s all just one Unity build

[left gull]

then is there a different download option in your library?

[lusty jay]

Wow. I had the clothes hidden so I could see the full body. That broke it. ugh

[jagged wigeon]

Idk why but I made the avi and it's invisible in the game for me and others what should I do

[left gull]

first off you should screenshot it since its nearly impossible to read like this but its not actually registering your model as 1: having 0 triangles is impossible unless you're uploading nothing 2: those errors would prevent your upload

[scenic canyon]

besides prismics, whats a good avatar search?

[long sierra]

I'm trying to update an avatar, but I had to remake it (which regenerated the blueprint ID) but when I detach the blueprint Id and paste in the old one, it automatically detaches it and clears out the avatar descriptor (Yes, I did delete the old avatar).

[long sierra]

Error:

Apparently uninstalling VRCFury fixes it? But this avatar NEEDS VRCFury because it uses GoGoLoco

[somber sequoia]

technically you don't need fury for gogo loco

(but you have to do the manual install)

[long sierra]

Why does it keep detaching the avatar blueprint id? It kept doing it even after I uninstalled VRCFury

[timber wharf]

blueprint id is fake error

sdk just throws that one every time smth goes wrong

[somber meadow]

screenshot the entire console

[long sierra]

those are the only errors there

[half turtle]

Is there a way to do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZ3wuqVxGtE&t=839s but as buttons in a menu instead?

[dark creek]

I finished a model, and every toggleable item, what is next?

[oak bone]

Have you rigged it?

[half turtle]

Basically I want to have a few texture swaps on the avatar as an option in the menus

[left gull]

did you mean to link it at the hueshift section of the video or do you mean for material swaps?

[half turtle]

So the body has a material/texture, the fluff, and the eyes. I have a few sets of them and I'd like to be able to swap between the sets.

Hueshift would be simpler but confusing to remember which one ends up where, I'd prefer it in a menu and labelled so I can just swap to whichever I want

[left gull]

you might have a better time asking about how you'd set that up in the offical VRCFury discord since most manually make their toggles here but thats likely possible through VRCFury just would need to change "use slider wheel" to whichever one makes it a button toggle option ( also that sounds terrible for the avatar's stats/optimization)

[half turtle]

I see

[long sierra]

If those are the only errors there, do you think you might know what's wrong?

[zinc dagger]

any idea how to fix this?

[left gull]

first thing can be ignored 2nd: double check your model is set to humanoid, if it is then manually add the animator script where the avatar descriptor is

[long sierra]

For the last two, turn read/write on

[zinc dagger]

how?

[zinc dagger]

what do i do for those settings?

and should it be where the descriptor is?

uh oh

[left gull]

for the read/write thing there should be an autofix button if you make the pop-out screen bigger

[zinc dagger]

it says everythings good though

thats why im confused

[somber meadow]

Your avatar isn’t in a perfect unity defined t-pose. Click pose>enforce t-pose in the inspector

You don’t want bones to be highlighted in red in that view

[zinc dagger]

did it

same issue is consistent

this is the settings

[zinc dagger]

(The warning is about verticies and such like theres alot of triangles)

i figured it out

turns out it was just me putting it on the wrong part of the model

[pseudo token]

hey
each time i try to upload an avatar this happens

wait i fixed it

idk how

but i did

lol

[iron badger]

Anyone know why certain gestures work and others don't?

[left gull]

Is it a model you made and setup yourself or a pre-made?

[iron badger]

pre-made

[left gull]

if these arent toggles you created yourself then you'd need to contact the creator about it

[iron badger]

I see, I'll do so.
thnx

[copper shuttle]

can anyone pleasseee help meeee?

[left gull]

if all of the errors are poiyomi remove your current one (or check if you possibly have duplicates in your project) and re-import a new one/different version

[quick basin]

I been running into a issue with a model i got from a friend

I made its components and stuff, set the viewpoint but once I try it in game, the model stretches out and I can't see cause the viewpoint goes to the chest.
I don't know why the model stretches and been stumped from it for 5 days does anyone have ideas or suggestions

[copper shuttle]

no :\ it still keeps saying that

[left gull]

have you tried downloading a fresh version of the poiyomi you're attempting to import?

[dark creek]

not yet

[left gull]

That'd be your next step, merging the meshes and rigging the model

[dark creek]

but aren't they supposed to be seprate meshes that are parented?

the pillow and the orange are meant to be seprate from the character

[left gull]

if the orange is only going to be held in the hand it can be made through a blendshape toggle, not sure about the pillow though but realistically you want as few seperated meshes as possible

they do all need to be parented under a single armature though yes but merging is better for optimization ranking and in-game performance

this goes over the rankings for each version (iOs,Mobile = quest, and PC) you should aim for medium or better in most cases https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/avatar-performance-ranking-system/

[copper shuttle]

yeahh

i can't even delete the error in the libary folder either

[left gull]

im not sure then, good luck with that

[vagrant hare]

Yo guy is there a way to add keybind toggle in vrchat?

[cinder wren]

Hi, I was editing a model in Blender, specifically editing the FBX to add new clothing. After weight painting, data transfer, etc., when importing and replacing the FBX, I got this error... I followed the exact same steps on other avatars same creator and body base and didn’t have this issue. I’ve attached screenshots for reference
capture 1, playable layers broken, capture 2, original fbx playable layers ok

[half turtle]

What filesize would make the textures performance orange instead of red? Trying to cram as many texture swaps as I can with it not being in the red

[left gull]

that depends on how many textures you're using

[oak bone]

Maybe try on a new project. Seems like your sdk is borked somehow

[somber meadow]

Click the FBX in unity, and screenshot the import option's "rig tab"

[somber meadow]

PC - https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/avatar-performance-ranking-system#pc-limits
Quest/Mobile - https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/avatar-performance-ranking-system#mobile-limits

[half turtle]

Got it down to medium for PC by removing most extra items and only keeping 5 material set swaps

SDK builder shows no more red, only orange and green, upload it to vrc and vrc says it's still red 😩

[round cedar]

Hello! I was wondering if anyone knew why the eyelashes on my model have a background on them. Is it a substance painter thing or is it something I need to change in unity?

[wide lynx]

ahhgh my material has black spots on it for quest for some reasonnn, i dont know what to dooo!

i guess transparency doesnt work but i dont know how to manage to make it look normal

[raven orbit]

use blender to cut those parts off or retexture the quest version so the clothes extend to the edges of the mesh

[supple needle]

How do you make a piece of clothing like a shirt move with physbones like breasts ??

[hollow anvil]

anyone ever experienced this before?? idek where to begin lol

[junior void]

What else is on the avatar (expand the hierarchy)

[fiery crow]

what are these?

[hollow harness]

I cannot acess this?

[left wharf]

if you were exported that model from blender, check export settings (especially Transform>Apply Scallings. it should be set to FBX All.)

[junior void]

Embedded materials cant be accessed. You can either make your own materials or extract the embedded ones on the last page of the fbx import settings

[blissful pulsar]

in play mode, what are the red and blue gizmo spheres?

oh, reds are the twist IK's for the arms and legs

[junior void]

not twist

ik goals

[blissful pulsar]

yeah, played some anims and I see the IK goals for the wrists/ankles

are blue gizmos root/hips motions?

[junior void]

This is chatgpt by the way. It knows a lot

[blissful pulsar]

kewl

[cinder wren]

That's not it, because when I replace the FBX, it gets fixed in 2 seconds

[cinder wren]

This is weird, the number of errors created by the edited FBX is something I haven’t seen before

[junior void]

you should really look whats in the foldout

[quartz cliff]

Hi, I'm new to making Avatars and was wondering how I can simply add an option to my avatar which would change the texture between 2 different textures

[balmy barn]

create an animation that swap mesh material to another one using a different texture

bool toggle it

[hollow harness]

my model looks like this in blender

Unity it looks like this

How do i make it like blender?

[junior void]

you want to use a proper shader for your materials that can handle the transparency

note that transparency is not supported at all on quest, but a good shader for pc would be something like poiyomi which indeed supports cutout (opacity) behavior

[quick basin]

I'm running into a similar thing but the model stretches

[flint geyser]

I'm working on a low poly avatar but am stuck on the clothes, would anyone be able to help?

[placid mica]

Anyone know what this error could possibly mean?

[inner fern]

Hello, I'm having a problem using my avatar,When I try to upload it, I get a notification that I don't have permission. How do I resolve this?

[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.

^ probably this

[violet copper]

Good morning! Anybody know of the Unity addon that moves the camera in the Game tab to where it was in the Scene tab? I can't remember where I got in my old setup.

[somber sequoia]

you can simply move the camera around in the scene view, is that not sufficient?

[wind skiff]

depends on what triggers it, but that error mostly meaningless

[placid mica]

I have like... 52 errors of that exact same thing. Curently trying to make a Quest conversion

oops wrong reply haha

[placid mica]

youuu i meant

[violet copper]

It's time consuming to go between scene and tab to check on grabable physbones.

[wind skiff]

yeah, i usually get a ton of those too, i just clear them and ignore since nothing is actually broken

sometimes it highlights contacts in the scene if i click on them

[placid mica]

How do I clear them?? It wont let me enter playmode because of them

[wind skiff]

apparently it is some bug in the sdk that has been there for ages

[wind skiff]

those won't prevent you from going into play mode, only compiler errors would

click clear and show the remaining errors

[violet copper]

Oh! It's Gesture Manager. Had to drag the camera in there

[somber sequoia]

I mean, position the camera once, when not in play mode, then it'll always be in the place you want it

oh interesting, I'd never used that

I just set that up when I first open a project and forget about it

[wind skiff]

it's great, you can just move the scene viewport and the game tab will have the same camera pos

[violet copper]

I move physbones alot to test on angles. Again, time consuming.

[somber sequoia]

I may have to try this

[placid mica]

These are the only unique errors showing up. the other 46 are the same thing as before

I don't know what any of these mean

[somber sequoia]

seems that you have a prefab that has something on it that's missing something.

[wind skiff]

if you click clear, do any errors remain?

and what is it telling you when you try to enter play mode

[placid mica]

Only just now found the clear button,,, these are what remain

[wind skiff]

reimport poi using https://www.poiyomi.com/download/#method-2-creator-companion

unless you're using pro, in that case delete the Assets/_PoiyomiShaders folder and reimport the unitypackage

[placid mica]

I'm converting to quest

Maybe I should just remove poi

[wind skiff]

you can, but i'd just reimport it using the vcc

unless this entire project is android/quest only

[placid mica]

Yes.

Deleting poi worked, thank you

lord

[pseudo crag]

How did you add your textures onto the model

Because mine is white

Like what you said before

[somber sequoia]

put textures into materials, apply materials to mesh renderers on avatar

[pseudo crag]

Ok

[cobalt mural]

Is there anyway on quest to make an avatar bigger than 5 meters

[somber sequoia]

not as the default size

[cobalt mural]

Damn

[civic cliff]

how do i change the eyes on a mamehinata? all souces are saying i need to use the eye material but i dont have one

i just bought some eyes im tryna figure out how to do this as a beginner

[junior void]

you mean you want to change the texture and you bought textures

right?

[civic cliff]

yeah

my b

[junior void]

okay, you will want to click on your body mesh which has a section called materials

one of them will contain the eyes, however as i do not own this model, i dont know if other things are also assigned to the same material as the eyes

[pseudo crag]

I imported the textures and I got 5 normal, specular, metalness, glossiness, and diffuse

There was material already made called Suit_Low

[civic cliff]

i think that is the case cuz what i was trying to say is that there isn't a separate eye material

[junior void]

you are in prefab mode which is generally a bad idea

[civic cliff]

been a while oops

[junior void]

at the top left, you should return to scene view

[pseudo crag]

What do I do next?

[civic cliff]

alright i did it

[junior void]

anyway, this shows me that the eyes are part of the body material. so once youre in scene view, add a prefab to the scene or open a provided scene (depends how this was set up) and uncollapse the body material. it looks like this is poiyomi, so youd need to click unlock shader, then you can drag the texture you want into the albedo slot inside the shader

this thing

[junior void]

id say assign your textures into that material and apply the material to your mesh

normal maps go into normal map slot, color into albedo. metallic into metallic and so on. where that is is based on the shader

[pseudo crag]

I get it now

[civic cliff]

its liltoon, does that change anything?

[junior void]

not really

youll just have to find where the color field is at and exchange that texture

[civic cliff]

i cant remember where the unlock shader thing is 😭 i found it before no problem sorry

[junior void]

i know poiyomi needs unlocking, otherwise you cannot do anything

liltoon may not have this feature

[somber sequoia]

it's right at the top of the shader, if it's lockable

[junior void]

just try to exchange the albedo texture

[pseudo crag]

Is Albedo Diffuse in my case?

Because that’s the only colored one

[pseudo crag]

Wait no

Specular is slightly colored as well

Where do those go?

And glossiness

[civic cliff]

i dont understand i cant find it sorry for being dense lmao

its been a solid couple months since ive even touched unity

[pseudo crag]

I have my albedo texture

I don’t know which one to put what texture in though

[junior void]

i do not use liltoon frequently. hence, i do not know what they decided to call their fields

[civic cliff]

damn

well shit

[pseudo crag]

Halp me

I have 3 textures left then I’m done

And I can go to bed

[civic cliff]

i MAY have figured it out oh lordy

[pseudo crag]

It’s 1 in the morning

[junior void]

if the naming is weird, look at the maps assigned to it already, they should look like these

[pseudo crag]

Do I need to change my shader

[civic cliff]

these?

cuz that body one seems to be it

[junior void]

yea looks like it

so wherever that is assigned inside the shader on the body mesh, replace it

[pseudo crag]

Um

[civic cliff]

like, literally just replace the image in that menu?

[junior void]

not in the assets

[civic cliff]

uhh its on the avatar now anyway

[junior void]

click this

then scroll here

expand that shader (not in prefab mode)

then find where inside there is this (pic) assigned

once found, replace by dragging your new one into its place

[civic cliff]

i seem to have found it anyway

[pseudo crag]

Still need help

[civic cliff]

so, in the booth thing it shows how to do emissions on the white shiny parts of the eyes but i cant understand what its pointing to cuz its in i think japanese?

id just like to know what they're looking at there

[timber wharf]

it just says to apply texture and boost hdr level to 1-3 in color. you wont see any bloom in unity without setting up postprocessing pipeline.

[civic cliff]

ohh

ok thanks

[turbid sable]

how to fix this? ive asked help and no one has a godam clue

[night ember]

show your entire console instead of just this one error

[pseudo crag]

So I figured out diffuse and specular but I haven’t figured out glossiness.

I asked Chatgpt about it and it said this

I cannot find the smoothness source slot

Where is that

[junior void]

specual and smoothness are one packed map on different channels

iirc the smoothness goes to the alpha channel

so google "how to pack textures"

also, fix your normal map, itll look much better

[pseudo crag]

It does look a lot better

[oak bone]

Looks like your smoothness (roughness) is turned all the way up

Which is probably why it looks so glossy

[pseudo crag]

Oh

So do I need to add the glossiness texture or

[oak bone]

Also the smoothness slot isn't on that shader so I'd try using a different one

[oak bone]

Yes if you have one or just turn it down

[junior void]

you can pack it though

ive used smart texture before to pack smoothness maps

you basically get two maps into one, aka less texture memory needed

[oak bone]

A unity tool?

[junior void]

ye

[pseudo crag]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60kVc4xHPX4 is this it or nah?

It doesn’t have much videos

The only time I saw it was chrome’s new ai responses when you search

[junior void]

i figured it out by looking at the github page

[pseudo crag]

Send link

[junior void]

google "smart texture github"

[pseudo crag]

Ok

[pseudo crag]

Looks like I need to install it.

I’ll be right back

[junior void]

im sure theres more ways, such as doing the same thing in an image editing peogram like gimp to make use of different channels

i just like this thing bc i dont need to have 234838 programs running lol

[spark walrus]

Hellooo
I use LilToon shader on my avatar but when i change the shaders to vrchat mobile it turns red

:3

somebody knows why? xD

[balmy barn]

remove vertex colors , vrchat mobile shader dont like em

[spark walrus]

vertex colors? o.o

is there an option for that into the shader?

[balmy barn]

blender

[spark walrus]

oh into blender

[pseudo crag]

It’s installed

[spark walrus]

ok ok gonna try

[formal imp]

Can someone help me with quest phys bones? the avatar uploads just fine and the phys bones work on pc, but the phys bones on it just don't work on quest.

[pseudo crag]

Although there’s a problem

[pseudo crag]

Should I be worried about this?

I installed it locally

[buoyant thorn]

do I need to blender animation the root up on my avatar for a temporary pose space to work or only head?

[junior void]

Youre overestimating how much i can help you with this. I didnt make it nor am i affiliated with the project or maker

[pseudo crag]

Oh

[supple needle]

How do you compress 40MB back down to 10MB for quest ? It randomly decompressed itself

[full field]

How can I fix this, appeared when uploading a quest version of my avi

[long sierra]

Does anyone think they might know what's causing this? It happens when I try replacing the avatar blueprint ID.

[buoyant thorn]

how can I make it so when I talk it triggers an animation, kinda like wanna do mouth movement but for another armature transformation

I need to know what bool or float or whatever to use

[balmy barn]

either detect voice volume or a viseme | https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/animator-parameters/#parameters Voice = Microphone volume (0.0-1.0) = Float

[unborn pine]

I’m making this avi and need help setting something up, TLDR I want an animation that toggles the gun and when I make a fist it shoots, when I toggle the sword and make a fist the gun doesn’t fire?

[buoyant thorn]

Voice = Microphone volume (0.0-1.0) = Float
what are the parameters for this I don't really understand the whole thing

first time doing this ill check out link too

so voice is the float right, how do I set up layers for that

[balmy barn]

Voice greater then 0.2 = animate stuff , Voice less then 0.2 = stop doing stuff'

exsample

[calm crow]

Can somebody please help me with exporting problems? This happened to my avatar

[buoyant thorn]

thanks

[calm crow]

Tell me I'm not the only one please

[junior void]

Honestly i cant tell what im looking at

[calm crow]

Look at his inner eyes

Look at his eyelid

[left gull]

it could be that you left a blendshape toggle on when exporting maybe?

[calm crow]

I don't recall doing that

I'll check it out tomorrow

[true wave]

in the animator thing, is it possible to compare 2 parameters? EG, if action-defined_param > user-defined_param

[somber sequoia]

unfortunately, no

[calm crow]

I'll show you how it originally looked

[true wave]

a, a, a dang

[minor geode]

for some reason my phys bones gravity is completely broken, if i turn it even slightly to negative then it flies up and doesn't come back down, and if i turn it positive it gets stuck pointing straight down, i cant figure out what's going on

ive replaced the phys bones script and it doesn't fix it

[somber sequoia]

are they colliding with something not expected? I've got one like that I need to fix, you just reminded me of it

[minor geode]

i dont have any colliders i dont think

at least i cant see any

[somber sequoia]

k

[minor geode]

i did have a collider that seems like it would cause this issue

but i definitely deleted it

so ive got 0 clue what's going on

[rapid forum]

U can set the gravity to 0 and it shouldn't be affected

[minor geode]

well yeah but i need it to have gravity

[rapid forum]

Idk why it's going crazy when u barely turn it up or down tho

[minor geode]

okay i set the gravity to .048 and it stood straight up ??? 😭

[rapid forum]

Have u tried closing and reopening unity? Sometimes it's finicky

[minor geode]

ill try restart

ye

didnt fix it

oh wait

this error appeared could it possibly be a problem?

[rapid forum]

I'm not sure I don't have much knowledge of different unity errors it looks like it has something to do with a dynamics contact manager if u have anything like that installed check that everything is set up properly

[minor geode]

ive got 0 clue

i completely remade the avatar and specifically these bones are the only ones that freak out

[somber sequoia]

hard to know what causes these, often they're side-effects or don't mean much

[prime jay]

So... uhm... i have an issue too but you guys seem busy so maybe i can post later?

[minor geode]

i think it was a random error

cuz it didnt come back up when i remade the avatar

ill try re-exporting from blender

i use auto rig pro so there's probably a setting i broke

[prime jay]

So can i post my issue now?

[somber sequoia]

you can post your issue any time

[prime jay]

I can't post any avatars even pre-made ones becuase my Steam auto-sign in refuses to work on anything not VRChat itself like the website or editor, and i can't use recovery options like "Forgot Password" or "Forgot email" becuase IT WILL NOT send me an Email no matter what and i know my Auto-sign in username and password but on the site and editor it says "Incorrect Username/Passoword"

[somber sequoia]

at a guess, submit a support ticket?

[buoyant thorn]

yo why wont temporary pose space work, I have a root animation from blender that brings him up to level of transformation and I got the enter and exit things on the layer

[prime jay]

• Posted a ticket almost over a day ago at the Forums resquest on my temp acc, as the forums couldn't solve but no reply from the ticket

[somber sequoia]

right but there's no avatar-specific setting to fix this then

I wish you luck though, that's got to be annoying

[prime jay]

I SPENT 2 YEARS DEBUGGING THE FACT THE UNITY EDITOR REFUSED TO DOWNLOAD! And now i'm stuck becuase i bought VRCHAT ON STEAM? is this real? i feel scammed...

[somber sequoia]

uh... okay

[gloomy flint]

this sounds more like

a skill issue.

[somber sequoia]

this sounds like something for general chat

[gloomy flint]

you forgot your password, that isn't VRChat's, Steam's, OR Unity's fault

🤷‍♂️

[left gull]

if you've logged into the account on your PC in your ticket submit your log aswell

helps them with proving its atleast been logged into your PC before

[prime jay]

Then why won't they EMAIL me with recovery options? and i can play on the account only becuase steam AUTOMATICALLY signs me on

[remote delta]

Hey so can anyone help me with this avi please? I keep getting these Error and I don't know how to fix it

[gloomy flint]

did you ever let anyone else ever access your account, maybe to upload an avatar for you in the past? 🤨

[prime jay]

No, i never let anyone else on just made an account using steam auto sign in 2-3 years ago when i bought the game on steam

[gloomy flint]

did you ever make a VRChat.com account?

🤨 🤨 🤨

[prime jay]

Yes, but only My temp account i asked for help with, and i can't post avatars with cuz it has zero hours

[gloomy flint]

if you have zero hours you cant upload avatars at all

you need to be new user or above in trust rank.

and to upload avatars at all the account NEEDS a VRChat.com account, that is a requirement.

[left gull]

steam accounts cannot login to anything other then the game, is your steam account merged to this vrchat account?

[prime jay]

i Have hours on my Main (STEAM) account but can't sign in on the site (Like the VRChat site or SDK)

[gloomy flint]

Is your main account merged with a VRChat.com account

or is it ONLY a steam account

[prime jay]

Only Steam

[gloomy flint]

there is your issue, dude...

[left gull]

kek

?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

[left gull]

" 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."

that right there

[gloomy flint]

there are two requirements for uploading avatars. New User or above, AND a VRChat website account.

[prime jay]

so what? My steam account is useless and Scammed me?

[gloomy flint]

No???

[left gull]

what no??

[gloomy flint]

You merge the accounts.

[prime jay]

But my temp account and steam account have Different names!? and i want my steam name?

[left gull]

you can keep the name during the merge

you can also just change your name on the website once its merged every 30 days iirc

[gloomy flint]

I merged my Steam Account, my original VRChat account, to a brand new VRChat.com Account and got to keep all my steam accounts info.

[prime jay]

okay so how uhm... where is the link?

[left gull]

https://help.vrchat.com/hc/en-us/articles/360062659053-I-want-to-turn-my-platform-account-through-Steam-Meta-Pico-or-Viveport-into-a-VRChat-account

this goes over how to do it

[prime jay]

thanks

[left gull]

((also fyi you likely didnt get a response to your ticket yet because you submitted it at a very busy time of the year, all the tickets are manually reviewed rather then automated iirc :P))

[calm crow]

It originally looked like this

[prime jay]

wait so if i already have hours on the steam will the merge reset that or am i good? if not how long until i can do stuff?

[somber sequoia]

ohh, didn't realize this was an only steam account. So yeah, makes sense.

[prime jay]

never mind, it says i am now, so thanks for helping

But it changed my name to my temp acc, what is the 30 day thing and when can i change?

[left gull]

You should be able to change the name on the website https://vrchat.com/home/profile

seems like its not 30days but 3months though

[prime jay]

dang thought i solved but the tutorial says after pressing "Build & Publish" i should be on the avatar publishing menu not this!?

[left gull]

you've gotta save your scene

put something in the file name so you can find it later

[prime jay]

Did that and this happened

[gloomy flint]

show logs dawg

[prime jay]

Ok but not a tech expert hope nothing in the logs is Compromising or DOXing

[civic cliff]

i dont need these toggles anymore on my mamehinata, how do i remove them?

[somber sequoia]

find that menu and remove that option. you can find the root menu in the avatar descriptor

[left gull]

there wont be unless your naming your assets and such after your IRL name, adress etc lmao

[gloomy flint]

hey guys this is my new vrchat avatar, its called <full legal name and address>

[somber sequoia]

don't clip error messages though

[prime jay]

Don't want? did i do something wrong?

[somber sequoia]

in the first image the first message is not fully readable

[civic cliff]

i deleted it and now its still in the gesture manager but just doesnt let me click it for some reason is that normal?

[balmy barn]

its just unity babble , but your rank is too low

[somber sequoia]

oh that's in the third one, didn't see that

[somber sequoia]

not sure how it'd still be visible if you deleted it, but I don't really know gesture manager well, I tend to use lyuma's emulator

[left gull]

if you deleted it properly it shouldnt show in gesture manager

[prime jay]

it's still not fully visible, and who was that person talking about rank? becuase this is mine

[left gull]

if you're actually the correct rank you may have to wait a bit since you just merged accounts

[civic cliff]

i right clicked on it and deleted it idk whats considered the right way of doing it

[prime jay]

How long? and was it just fail becuase rank compatbility issues?

[balmy barn]

other error you need to fix is this one

I dont use av3 manager but it might be old or wrong unity version for one you using

[prime jay]

To be clear AUTO-INTSALLERS DO NOT WORK on my Pc so i for 2 years have struggled until i resorted to brute forcing Manual installs and got a 2019 to work, does this help?

[balmy barn]

https://unity.com/releases/editor/whats-new/2022.3.22

current vrchat dont expect newer sdk/scripts to behave if you gold a old one

Ive only used manual installs and just add it to vcc

[prime jay]

I choose the 2019 template, so does that mean i have to redo from scratch? and i manual installed the latest 2024 version it it was Unreconized... so can someone just tell what version to download?

[somber sequoia]

Thulen just told you

[gloomy flint]

what version of the SDK are you using,,,?

🤨

[prime jay]

oh... they did link... sorry and i was using all the latest

[somber sequoia]

yep, no worries

[prime jay]

also why is there a 2024 version if it's useless?

[somber sequoia]

it's also posted in the vrchat docs

because vrchat uses a specific version of unity, unity releases newer ones all the time

[balmy barn]

vrchat just uses 2022 for the lts, might be a new unity end of year if not definatly 2026

[somber sequoia]

latest ones have different rendering pipelines, I wouldn't count on anything new for quite a while

[prime jay]

For such a Used Company Unity software has sure been a Hard piece of work to deal with when even auto-installers fail...

[somber sequoia]

generally things like that are isolated local issues.

it's hard to handle edge cases

... I feel weird defending unity but this isn't really anything significant

[prime jay]

Sometimes i feel like a smart neolithic/cave person, i can easily navigate most tech issues but encounter so many problems other times i want to smash my devices to bits but thanks for helping me anyways

[void kettle]

I needs help

Please 😭😭😭

[weak heron]

My avatar looks wierd.

[somber sequoia]

can't really read anything of use in here - maybe you could screenshot instead? And show the first errors at the top of the console

[void kettle]

Alright!

[weak heron]

For referance, here is a screenshot from unity.

[void kettle]

Ngl I can’t see the difference 😭🙏

0-0

[somber sequoia]

yeah, not sure what to look at here

[void kettle]

…

Vrchat just yelled at me 😭😭😭

[random otter]

Yo! I want to figure out how to make a 2D skin like the South Park skins that are animated.

[void kettle]

OHH!!!

[somber sequoia]

lighting, at a guess

[void kettle]

Yea it’s gonna be different if your on quest then pc due to how low the textures need to be

[weak heron]

Huh?

[void kettle]

I dont know 😭🙏 don’t listen to my dumb ||ass||

[random otter]

Also, does anyone know how to make an avatar with orb hands?

Like a Mii character?

[void kettle]

I don’t 😭

[random otter]

This is what I have

[void kettle]

Yea I dont know 😭

[random otter]

Idk how I can do the bone thing

[weak heron]

FOR THE LOVE OF... Use Blender.

[boreal saffron]

I did it with mine, it’s pretty simple, just have the orb be where the hand bone is and don’t have the finger bones effect the model

[void kettle]

I hate blender 😭🙏✋

It’s to hard for me

[random otter]

I’m a beginner

[random otter]

Please help 😭

[void kettle]

Unity is the best for beginners I think

I dont know tho

That’s what I’ve been told

…

[boreal saffron]

Lol I can

[random otter]

Will you tho?

Just saying in case something happens

[weak heron]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4haAdmHqGOw Best way to learn Blender.

[boreal saffron]

Yeah! That’s what I meant sorry

[random otter]

Alrighty

[night ember]

Then learn

[random otter]

I want to learn

[void kettle]

If anyone has this problem just make a whole new project!

Never mind

😭😭😭🔫

[void kettle]

is that better?

[somber meadow]

scroll up in the console and show the errors above "assetbundle was not built"

[void kettle]

How do i fix that?

[somber meadow]

scroll up in the console and screenshot the errors above "assetbundle was not built"

we can't see the culprit error in your screenshot

[void kettle]

Oh

Okay!

[somber meadow]

import VRCFury into the project

[void kettle]

OkY!

How do I get VRCFury to work? 😭

Never mind I think I got it!!

Ty!!

[weak heron]

I have tried everything. lowering the texture rez, reapplying normals, etc. Nothing is working. I Need Help. i have been trying to fix this problem for 2 hours.

[dark jay]

i have physbones in unity it shows it and its mapped right but it wont move in play mode i adjusted it too can someone help me

[ember hawk]

I have no idea what I'm doing, trying to fix a Problem with an avatar my friend made for me, I downloaded everything I need, but it doesn't wanna cooperate

[dark jay]

Can anyone help

[junior void]

If this is for quest, maybe you have too many physbone scripts which will cause vrc to remove them. If thats the case, the upload screen would notify you about that as warning

[somber sequoia]

play mode shouldn't be affected by that though

we'd have to see one of the problem components to tell you any more

[dark jay]

pc side and i get this

[dark jay]

there

[somber sequoia]

unfortunately, that's not useful

[dark jay]

What do u show u

[somber sequoia]

I suggested showing one of the physbone components that's a problem.

[dark jay]

All of them dont move anymore even for older models i can still show u it tho

[somber sequoia]

there's really nothing we can help you with without details

[nova trench]

bello whta to do if you want physbones on hair but theres no hair root

[somber sequoia]

IMO make a hair root. Otherwise you end up with a LOT of physbone components.

[nova trench]

how 😅

[somber sequoia]

what is a Physbone Manager?

[dark jay]

That idk

[somber sequoia]

bring the model into Blender, add a bone, re-parent other bones

[somber sequoia]

you may want to look into that, it might be part of the issue.

[nova trench]

is there a wy to do that without blender 👁️

[dark jay]

Ok

[somber sequoia]

you can't make bones in Unity

[nova trench]

aw shucks

ty tho

[fervent crest]

Can I read in my (non-eye tracking) eye look direction from animator? i want to manually drive animations based on it

[somber sequoia]

no, I went looking for that the other day. All my friend and I could come up with would be to add some contacts senders which rotate with the eye and proximity receivers somewhere in the head, but it'd be really janky

[tender willow]

I've added the armature modifier, selected the armature and also correctly adjusted the data transfer
Is there something I am missing?

[somber sequoia]

did you check weight paint?

[tender willow]

I forgor

I'll check rq

[prime jay]

Got the model in game but it's textureless and the Addons that it comes with aren't availible it the Radial menu

[tender willow]

This is what it's showing

[somber sequoia]

I'm not sure what part you're trying to paint from this overly zoomed image?

but that does look like some part is painted 🙂

[fallow sail]

Kind of a stupid question but does anyone know how to close paths in substance painter?

[tender willow]

I'm sorry I don't

[somber sequoia]

I'm not sure I ever tried, I've used them a lot open though

[tender willow]

For some reason in pose mode these two meshes arent moving together

I only started using blender 6 hours ago

[somber sequoia]

ahh

same armature, and both have the armature modifier?

Beyond that, it's going to be a weight painting issue

[tender willow]

Yeah I think they're the same

[somber sequoia]

looks good

[tender willow]

This is when I select the outfit :D

Blue means good right? if I remember correctly

[somber sequoia]

watch a tutorial probably. Blue is the least weight, red is the most weight

there's no good/bad here

[tender willow]

uauahaeh
It's worked the last two times I did it on other clothes and items
time to scour youtube

Oh hey kazin if I edited and removed / moved around some of the mesh before a data transfer does that mess it up

[prime jay]

So less busy? i can try to ask again?

Becuase as stated beofre: Got the model in game but it's textureless and the Addons that it comes with aren't availible it the Radial menu

[somber sequoia]

what are you data transferring?

[somber sequoia]

there's really not much to go on here. what's an addon in this case?

[prime jay]

Clothing options and accessories, plus the textures are in the file but don't appear in game just all white and textureless

[tender willow]

Not too sure as I'm following a tutorial, but this is what I'm doin

[somber sequoia]

without seeing the project uh... find the textures, add them to materials, apply them to the right places on the avatar?

[somber sequoia]

are you trying to transfer weights?

[tender willow]

I think so

not sure

[somber sequoia]

hmm, not sure what to suggest then

if you're trying to transfer weights from the body to the clothing, I like this tool. Still often needs a bit of tweaking, but it gets you really close:

[prime jay]

Where do i fin the materials section? the Tutorial i watched just showed how to import and i can't find the option anywhere?

[somber sequoia]

each mesh renderer will have one or more materials

[prime jay]

Yes, AND I CAN'T NAVIGATE overcomplicated Menu's! which is why i stopped even trying to use Source Film maker, TOO COMPLICATED.... and this menu is not indicating what to do

[somber sequoia]

uh... okay

[prime jay]

i have found the texture in two places and clicking it does nothing, tyring to drag anywhere does nothing

can't apply and am stuc with textureless

[somber sequoia]

you can't apply textures to a model, you put textures into a material which is applied to a model

[tender willow]

Thank you ! I'll try it

[prime jay]

How do i do that?

[somber sequoia]

I'd look up a tutorial on how to work with materials. not sure I have one handy

and didn't find one where I expected, oh well

[prime jay]

how DID the guy in the video have the textures already applied though?

it was a new project

[somber sequoia]

possibly they had textures and/or materials embedded in the fbx file

obviously I wouldn't know without looking

[prime jay]

and about accessories? some have multiple options but when i uploaded those options weren't availible how do you add a toggle?

[somber sequoia]

[tender willow]

I figured out how to install the addon Kazin!
butt I cannot find out how to use it xD

ah wait I found a tutorial

oh wait it says page dont exist

Oof

[somber sequoia]

in the sidebar on the right, the "n" popup, under SENT you put your source mesh in the slot, click on the target mesh, and click transfer

[tender willow]

I'm so sorry bro I can't see an N
I think i'm blind lol

[somber sequoia]

"n" is what you hit to toggle it

iirc be in object mode

[tender willow]

Thanks bro

Can you tell I'm not the brightest tool in the barn

[somber sequoia]

just sounds like you haven't spent enough time in Blender, that's all

[tender willow]

I love consuming knowledge

grahh it isnt workingg

[somber sequoia]

show these objects in the hierarchy?

this kinda looks like bad weight paint

[tender willow]

it worked!!

[somber sequoia]

you should probably drag the clothing to be a child of the armature

oh ok cool 🙂

[tender willow]

I had just forgotton to put the armature on after the tool you sent me!

[somber sequoia]

ahh

[tender willow]

Thank you so much bro

i'm being so serious

[somber sequoia]

check the weight paint too - that tool is great but not perfect

you may need to touch it up on some joints

[tender willow]

Thank you man

I'll try me best :d

[civic cliff]

why does my mamehinata's lips go gray depening on how far away you are from the camera?

just made this today too and only realized when i got on vr

[odd bane]

can someone help me with this ik what I gotta do but idk wat to lower it so I aint gotta delete nothing

[short ferry]

Uhm isn't there supposed to be more here?

[somber sequoia]

only if you want to override the defaults

[short ferry]

UHHHHH

[somber sequoia]

yes?

probably click configure there

[rotund solstice]

Does anyone know why this happens?

[somber sequoia]

check bones, etc.

[short ferry]

I did, everything was good-

[somber sequoia]

maybe set it back to generic and apply, then redo the humanoid setup

[prime jay]

This tutorial DOES NOT WORK

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

this DOES NOT Appear

at 1 minute

[somber sequoia]

if you're on the latest SDK, that got updated since the tutorial

[ember hawk]

I have a file that won't show up in unity for some reason, does anyone know how to fix this?

It just brings me to unity hub and doesn't do anything when I open with unity

[left wharf]

that's not a project. create project from VCC, and drag & drop it

[prime jay]

what do i do then?

[somber sequoia]

I'm not exactly following along what you're doing, so I don't know what you're asking

[ember hawk]

How many of these do I need to install?

I have no idea what Im doing, I've never tried to do any of this so I'm very lost

I'm just trying to do like a 2 second fix to an avatar a friend made for me

[prime jay]

well GREAT, i mean i said at 1 minute it stopped working (Acessoires toggle Tutorial) also i did everything in a texturing tutorial still blank

[left wharf]

then, ask to your friend. but i recommend AV3 Emu or Gesture Manager

[ember hawk]

They are busy for the night, it's why I'm trying to figure this out

I'm just trying to make a line or something for the mouth so it shows in the light

Like this

[civic cliff]

not trying to sound impatient, i have a feeling this has something to do with my texture im using since the eye texture i have is part of the whole face but i am still having trouble figuring out what exactly causes this

[somber sequoia]

you will lose detail going further away, it's intentional

not sure if that's what this is, but it kinda looks that way

[civic cliff]

i dont get the weird gray stuff on the default texture which is whats confusing me tho

[somber sequoia]

I'm not sure I see what grey stuff you mean

[civic cliff]

on the lips

and theres some weird lines around the eyes which are much smaller and werent there before

[somber sequoia]

hmm that looks like it's from your outline shader

[civic cliff]

hmmm

ill look into that

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-shocked-cat-silly-cat-cat-kitten-gif-7414586676150300212

you're so right

[somber sequoia]

whoa!

[civic cliff]

thanks LMAO

thats what i said

[long sierra]

Can someone please help me with this?

[somber sequoia]

is that the only error message?

[supple needle]

How to fix this hair for quest? When I look at it from almost every angle besides the front it’s invisible

[latent shale]

does anyone know how to upload an avatar?

[frigid adder]

I think you need a pc

[somber sequoia]

yes.

[frigid adder]

Can you upload one for me?

[somber sequoia]

absolutely not

[civic cliff]

just curious, is it possible to emission mask on liltoon shaders?

im wondering if i can get just the white parts of the eys on my avi to glow

but the texture for that includes the whole head

[somber sequoia]

I haven't used liltoon but do this on Poiyomi, so I'd be surprised if you can't on liltoon too

[civic cliff]

hmm

im having trouble finding sources to help me with this

it isnt possible to just use poiyomi for the head and liltoon for everything else, is it?

[somber sequoia]

sure

if those are separate material slots

heh, not sure where you find liltoon documentation in not-Japanese

[civic cliff]

alright i think ill try that and if it all goes wrong ill just switch back to liltoon and forget about it

[raven orbit]

I would think you could make just the eyes glow if the head part of the texture was blacked out, though it might be different depending on the shader

[civic cliff]

im unsure how the actual masking process works because ive never done it before but ill try some things

[warped scroll]

okay so I'm having this weird issue where if I activate the toggle I can't deactivate it. Like, I press it and it gets those spinny arrows for a second before they dissapear and when I try pressing it again its as if it's not registering any input

actually scratch that, I never get the arrows

[somber sequoia]

it's greyscale - black = do nothing, white = do something. in this case, emit

[warped scroll]

i will say, i did merge the layer controlling this toggle from another controller that has parts that mess with the value of the parameter, but i removed all the layers that would have done anything with the parameter

[civic cliff]

i figured it out thank you tho

[odd bane]

is there a way to remove the quest version of a avater?

[stray gorge]

im having this pop up on my unity. does anyone know how to fix this?

[half ice]

hii anyone can tell me how i can make shape keys pircing
like shape key where i can remove the pircing when its on 100

[scarlet ocean]

anyone have a base body and head models for women and men i can use for blender or is there some place i cant get this?

[night ember]

Thats a warning not an error

[stray gorge]

do you think it may be why quest users can't see my physbones

i have 7 of the 8

[night ember]

That has nothing to do with physbones

[stray gorge]

oh dang

[night ember]

All that warning means is you have animation states with no reset animations in the same layer

[stray gorge]

i feel like ik the issue then, problem is i know how to fix itdont

dont*

my hair on my model is duplicated which is causing extra bones, the issue is if i delete one it deletes both

im above the max bone limit

if i delete it, it deletes around 50-80

[scarlet ocean]

can someone extract me the model from a unitypackage?

[minor geode]

i keep getting this problem in the avatar config and for some reason when i enforce t-pose it messes up the fingers

it's causing my avatar to have broken fingers in vrc too

[untold sky]

How do I remove toggle I already removed the toggle script but the feature to turn the toggle on is still there and it does nothing

[ornate stump]

What toggle script you're talking about?

[ornate stump]

Why don't you just import into unity?

[scarlet ocean]

i reinstalled windows

and i dont have it installed and i dont want to wait a few hours to install it XD

[ornate stump]

You likely going to wait a few more hours to have someone willing to help you anyway, or at worst no one at all.

[minor geode]

??

[ornate stump]

Sorry I reply to a wrong person.

[minor geode]

ah oki no worries

[ornate stump]

What toggle script you're talking about?

[untold sky]

I fixed it nvm

[astral cosmos]

im having issues with an avatar i made
the clothing and body clip through each other when i wear it and i've heard this has to do wwith the iehgt painting but i have no idea here to go from here

there appears to be no weight painting on any of the meshes

[ornate stump]

If there were no weight painted then that mesh wouldn't move at all.

[astral cosmos]

oh well it does move its just all the weight painting is blue i mean

[ornate stump]

All blue would mean weight paints are zero which would make mesh not follow any bone.

[astral cosmos]

oooh okay that makes sense

[kindred moon]

how do i fix this please i need to know why this happens

[ornate stump]

Likely you had an extra camera inside of your avatar.

[kindred moon]

oh

you mind telling me in monkey brain

[ornate stump]

Just ask a question directly.

[kindred moon]

sum it down

please

[ornate stump]

Problem:
you had an extra camera

Solution:
Get rid of that extra camera.

[kindred moon]

oh thanks

[cinder pulsar]

Anyone know any physbone settings I can use on my vrchat avatar for cheek pulling? I've tried multiple settings but they all end up just deforming the mesh when I look about despite all settings that would cause movement by the world being turned off.

[ornate stump]

Just set Immobile type to another option.

[cinder pulsar]

I'll try that now
