[desert elk]

oh no

what happended here?

[feral abyss]

poorly attached edgeloops, looks like i double duped the mesh and then attached one to the first copy, which i did move to the other side, and one to the the second copy which stayed where it was

easily fixed though!

[full field]

Im having a minor issue right now, i made an animation and in unity it works fine, flawlessly, however when i go to test in game, it doesnt work. And i have no idea why

[balmy barn]

you doing it in wrong controller or animation tracking not set

[full field]

Thing is, i only have 1 controller

and i havent messed with animation tracking

tbh idk what that is

[balmy barn]

you cant animate humanoid bones in fx if its there

[full field]

theres no bones

[balmy barn]

is this a generic thing

[odd gale]

quick question, how many polygons u use for raw model? like without clothes and then for clothes? to be still in range for good quality?

[full field]

1st image, how its supposed to look. 2nd image, in game

[feral abyss]

Okay, so theres another copy that i seem to have discovered and now need to delete, thankfully it seems like the back version is untouched, so i only have one side to deal with!

[feral abyss]

...i dont even know how i got to this point anymore, this is so far from how it should be its hilarious

[wild blaze]

i need help from an expert

i spent 64 dollars on an avatar, uploaded it, it seemed fine until i played with quest friends and it all went to s**t

if anyone could help me out i'd be ever so grateful

[junior void]

That statement leaves a lot to the imagination

[desert elk]

if they crashed it's most likely not optimized at all for quest

define "went to s**t"

[wild blaze]

it's all desynced across platforms and i have no idea what to do because it's an avatar designed for pc and i've optimised pc avatars before with no problems but now it's horrible

and i wanna cry

i just need someone who can donate their time to help me

[desert elk]

like parameters don't work properly?

they need to be in the same spots in unity to be synced

[wild blaze]

i don't know, i barely know anything about unity

i have no clue what i'm doing

i removed a few things from the quest version to bring the size down so it would upload

[rain wave]

can anyone help me fix this?

[wild blaze]

and i think it ruined it

[desert elk]

that's what ruined it

the spots need to be the same

you can have empty toggles

to take up space

but spots for toggles that you want synced need to be the same

[wild blaze]

so my hours of work were for nothing

i can't believe i did something so stupid

this one mistake has made my avatar unusable in public worlds and with anyone on quest

i don't want to go into detail here

[desert elk]

it's nothing you can't fix

[wild blaze]

i can't fix it

i need help

i'm an amateur

[desert elk]

remember when you deleted toggles in the menu

[wild blaze]

i deleted a few things in the side thingy on the left

[desert elk]

right?

you need to add a couple of toggles to the quest version so the toggles that need to work are in the same spots

[wild blaze]

can you help me out?

i have trouble with these things, i need someone on a video call pointing things out

don't have to talk or anything

but i need someone to see what i'm seeing because unity is overwhelming

[desert elk]

yeah sure

[wild blaze]

you're not a judgemental person when it comes to avatars are you?

[desert elk]

nah

[wild blaze]

there's a few things on it i need to explain

[desert elk]

furries are cool

and other stuff too

[wild blaze]

i bought it not realising some of the stuff was on there

[desert elk]

that's okayy

vc? i sent you a message

oops i tried

didnt go through

[wild blaze]

i'll have a look

[desert elk]

okay, guys. I got this three asset that I'm trying to add a texture change too, but I can't seem to be able to animate it at all. I can change the texture easily, but it doesn't save as recording an animation, it just changes the texture. I've never added assets like that, so idk what i'm supossed to do. It a thorwable snowball

[spark walrus]

Can someone help why dose my head bop when i move i never had this before

And my friend said it is the update vrchat had

But other Avis don’t do

That

Someone please help

🥺

Anyone help

Please 😭

I neeed help please

[spiral wind]

Is there something wrong with the SDK?

[spark walrus]

You talking to me

Because look

It bops so bad😭😭

[jovial gust]

Why are my physbone colliders not working at all?

[spiral wind]

no

[rain wave]

can someone help me with this?

I went into FBX & changed the rig to humanoid but it's still saying "Non- humanoid"

[desert elk]

do you have them selected as collidders in the phsybone component?

[left gull]

does it do this if you drag another one of the .fbx's into your scene?

[safe berry]

Is there any shader that supports an UDIM workflow? Optimizing an avatar and UDIMs would make my workflow much more consistent

[fiery crow]

i dont think the unity version even supports it natively

[rain wave]

yeah

even if I don't

like the FBX is already set to humanoid

so idk what the issue is

[safe berry]

I believe it has worked since 2019.3, but could be wrong on the exact version- thats just what I was working with while in school and substance painter for school projects

But I do have a few addons that make the process a bit easier

[desert elk]

set it to generic and back to humanoid?

oh

is the prefab unpacked?

[queen nimbus]

Is there a easy way to find out which assest have what hight of MB‘s ?

[safe berry]

Thry's Avatar Performance tools

[young bear]

is it possible to have a particle that emits other particles as it travels? i know about sub emitters but none of the emission modes really fit my usecase as they only emit once at a specific point. i want to make a particle that emits other particles continuously as it travels

i'm trying to recreate something like the magnet sphere from terraria

[rain wave]

wait how do I check that?

[rain wave]

I can try

[livid yarrow]

fro some reason when i have my eyes normally/ not editing them they look fine but then when i get ready to create the eye rotation states in the VRCDesc. they rotate sideways and no way i rotate them fixes it

[desert elk]

are the eye bones straight?

[livid yarrow]

to begin with in editing the rotation states, no. but thats normal for me because usually i have to rotate them -80 on the x axis to make them look straight but as for the bones themselves they should be? i thought it was something wrong in blender so i threqw it back in and applied transforms on everything but the issue persists

the bones are pointing directly straight for each

[young bear]

that isn't right. vrchat expects your eye bones to be pointing directly upwards

[livid yarrow]

whaat

weirdd, okay one moment

its getting worse each time 🤣

oop wait no!

ayy thank you thank you
its fixed in the sense that i still have to give it a 90 rotation but theyre aligned properly now <3

[desert elk]

they shouldn't be

they should be straight up

[livid yarrow]

im not sure how id show you my eye bone rotations in blender

this is what the left eye looks like?? i re added a new bone for the eyes so that the rotation would be normal??

[livid yarrow]

is there a way to show you properly or is that screen shot it

[desert elk]

I'd move them a bit so the bottom part of the bone is in the middle of each eye

[desert elk]

you got it, they're good in that photo

[livid yarrow]

boom

one moment while i bring results

[queen nimbus]

How do I use it ?

[livid yarrow]

that actually worked :0 thank you thankyou everyone

[spark walrus]

What exactly does this mean? I dont get this warning on my quest or optimized version of the same avatar

anyone know a easy way to add sitting down emotes and other dance emotes with no audio to your current avatar?

[cunning swan]

can i move a bone connected to a model for animation

[spark walrus]

Yes you can

[cunning swan]

roger

[lapis egret]

Every avatar even the test dummy avatar vrc comes with refuses to upload its super slow and says clearing temp files after a long wait then says upload failed check console for more and when u check it it just says times out I’ve tried multiple avatars even ones thats uploaded before and none work

[onyx owl]

You might need to reomve all the vrc scirpts thrrough the creator compaion

Like through the packages tab of ur project

[lapis egret]

It dose this with every project

[onyx owl]

then add them back in

[onyx owl]

U might have the wrong version of unity

[lapis egret]

I’ve tried multiple projects and get the same issue

[onyx owl]

As said

U may have the wrong version of unity then

[lapis egret]

I have the right one I was able to upload avatars just a few days ago

[onyx owl]

U may need to update the creator companion

[lapis egret]

It’s up to date I thought about that already

[onyx owl]

Mind if we move this into DM's?

[onyx owl]

?

[wooden zinc]

idk where to put this but, im making a avatar and it wont import to unity. i drag the fbx into unity and it will start to put it in there and then would crash my pc slowly ive tried reinstalling unity, getting more storage, importing it a diffrent way idk what to do (sorry if it was copy and pase i just saw it was in the wrong channel)

[kindred lichen]

it could be to large

[onyx owl]

May be to large of a file, can u open it in blender?

[wooden zinc]

its with any fbx i do this with

its only 18mb fbx

ive had 30mb fbx work fine before so

also when i tried to do this in a new project i got this

so i think its a unity issue and not a fbx issue

[spark walrus]

It says no space left on device

[wooden zinc]

cause i also asked a friend to see if my fbx works for her unity and it worked just fine

ah hm

how do i fix that (english is not my strong suit

[spark walrus]

DId you try restarting your computer

[wooden zinc]

yeah, let me see if i can get rid of some stuff

[spark walrus]

I think it is a glitch

[wooden zinc]

let me see here

brb

[spark walrus]

Someone said that deleted the "package.json" file fixed theirs

[wooden zinc]

package.json?

[spark walrus]

Yeah hold on im looking for where that is located

[spark walrus]

Someone on the unity forum said "To solve this problem go to Help>Reset Packages in Unity and problem will be solved.
If not then delete the <Project-Root>>Packages>manifest.json file. So, unity will auto generate the new file."

@wooden zinc

[wooden zinc]

currently looking for it one moment lol

[spark walrus]

Ok lol no problem just wanted to make sure you had saw the message

[wooden zinc]

lol its okay, thanks cause i needed to re read it lol

im going to see if it is my storage cause i just got rid of alot of stuff

[wooden zinc]

and if that doesnt work ill try this

[spark walrus]

I really dont think it is

Do you have a lot of stuff?

[wooden zinc]

best to try then be sorry

[spark walrus]

Yes youre right

[wooden zinc]

yeah i keep alot of stuff lol

my storage is wanting to kill me lmao

[spark walrus]

Okay then it could be a possibility lol

[rustic swan]

Im having this issue with my avatar when i do the victory gesture, my body texture disappears. Help?

[wooden zinc]

<---my pc looking at me

[spark walrus]

Like your body goes invisibile?

[rustic swan]

yeah

[spark walrus]

Try checking the bounding boxes on the body mesh

In Unity

[rustic swan]

Its isnt the bounding boxes, the textures just disappears.

And its only when i do the gesture.

[spark walrus]

On PC

[rustic swan]

yeah

[spark walrus]

Just victory?

[rustic swan]

yup...

[wooden zinc]

I DID IT

[spark walrus]

Check if the victory animation is somehow effecting the materials

[rustic swan]

How?

[spark walrus]

Victory is one of the default animations that are when you dont have a custom menu right?

If im thinking of this correctly

[wooden zinc]

wait what kind of change like fully change the material or make it dark?

[spark walrus]

Im assuming it turns purple

[rustic swan]

The peace sign yeah

[rustic swan]

No just Transparrent.

[spark walrus]

Ohhh ok so go into the hand gesture controller on your avatar and look for the victory slot, click on it and youll see the victory animation, click that then double click the animation in your project files and it will open it up and scroll through it

maybe screenshot it

[spark walrus]

It worked?

[warped hedge]

help 😭

[rustic swan]

What should i be looking for?

[spark walrus]

Send a screenshot

of it full expanded

like I did

[wooden zinc]

i got her workin

[spark walrus]

Yay awesome

[wooden zinc]

i deleted some stuff in my unity and my other storage drive

[spark walrus]

That looks like your FX layer

This is the one you want to click into

The Gesture one

[rustic swan]

Yeah, Its the base one.

[spark walrus]

Look for your gesture layer instead, thats where you want to be

[rustic swan]

Will check

[rustic swan]

I just... dont know.

[spark walrus]

Dont know what

[rustic swan]

whats wrong.

[spark walrus]

Ok so click on that proxy_hands_Peace with the blue triangle on the right side and it should take you to a folder with a bunch of animations in it, and highlight that one. just double click the one it highlights

[spark walrus]

Then expand the tabs so you can see all of the animations in it

[rustic swan]

It only seems to be animating fingers

[spark walrus]

Is there any way you can take a picture or video of it actually happening in game

[rustic swan]

yeah hold on

[upper shoal]

im so confused

[spark walrus]

And the mesh is ENABLED?

[short tartan]

it thinks it isnt a humanoid rig when it is??

[rustic swan]

yup

[short tartan]

sorry does anyone have a clue whats happening to us here

[spark walrus]

While keeping the victory emote on can you click on the body mesh and take a screenshot of the entire thing

[spark walrus]

Did you configure it

[short tartan]

yes we did

its stupid

[spark walrus]

Try switching to generic then back to humanoid

[short tartan]

thank you

will try

[spark walrus]

No problem also make sure after doing that its still configured correctly

[short tartan]

alright

[spark walrus]

Show the side

The inspector

[spark walrus]

Where it says materials on that tab, click the arrow down and take another screenshot of the same thing

[spark walrus]

Do all of those listed seem correct?

[rustic swan]

Yup.

[spark walrus]

Does that avatar have backface culling on?

on the shader setting

for the body

[rustic swan]

?

[upper shoal]

nvm i figureed it out

[rustic swan]

wait.

[rustic swan]

is suppose to?

[spark walrus]

Id say turn it off and try

[rustic swan]

trying

[spark walrus]

Do you have access to the blender files for this avatar?

[rustic swan]

Nope...

[spark walrus]

Ok im assuming backface culling didnt work?

[rustic swan]

sadly.

[spark walrus]

If it didnt, I would try to turn on "double sided" in the poiyomi shader setting for the body

[rustic swan]

trying...

[rustic swan]

No dice.

[spark walrus]

If you switch the body shader to a random shader and try it, what happens?

[rustic swan]

will do

[rustic swan]

Nothing.

Turns out its the shader.

Thank you!

[spark walrus]

No problem, did you fix it??

[rustic swan]

Ill remake the shader, then get back to you. but hopfully.

[spark walrus]

Okay, hoping it works 🤞 good luck

[rustic swan]

I think its because im using cutout in poi

[spark walrus]

Most likely

I don't know that much about cutout

[upper shoal]

is there any way i can like overlay the mouth like a decal over the head texture on the face while having them on different materials/textures

[warped hedge]

does anyone know how to gen fix this its gonna make me tweak and videos arent helping me 😭

[ornate stump]

What needs to be fixed?

[warped hedge]

well his arms are bent and idk what i did that made it that way...

I think the bones are fine? but it's just bending rlly weird

[ornate stump]

Was the model originally doing A-pose?

[warped hedge]

yes

[ornate stump]

Do you edit in blender? Have you tested with pose mode in blender?

[warped hedge]

no i haven't lemme try rn

[mighty lichen]

how do I edit my fbx and not make the physbones freak out

[ornate stump]

When exporting fbx, set option "Apply Scalings" to "FBX All".

[upper shoal]

would anyone mind helping me here

[warped hedge]

everything seems normal in pose mode

[ornate stump]

Then check how many vertex groups that's assigned to the arm that does drooping.

[mighty lichen]

I did, got the same result

[copper carbon]

i was looking through the default parameter list and was curious if anyone knew what the PreviewMode parameter actually means
description just says "Returns 1 if the avatar is being previewed, 0 if it is not"

[ornate stump]

Preview mode is where the avatar is shown when you're selecting in avatar menu.

[copper carbon]

oh so i can set up a custom animation to show in that menu?

[ornate stump]

Probably.

[copper carbon]

wym probably?

[ornate stump]

I haven't tried it myself.

[copper carbon]

oh

i mean its probably possible

ive seen some avatars with it just thought it was some weird SDK stuff

[ornate stump]

Previously they just use TrackingType parameter to check whether it's in preview.

[copper carbon]

huh interesting

well i do gotta get my avatar optimised to work on quest before i can mess with animation stuff
damn you 3mb over the uncompressed limit

[short tartan]

may someone pls help her

[rain wave]

even with d4rk optimizer getting to just 10MB can be annoying

[copper carbon]

what is d4rk optimizer?

[copper carbon]

could import a different image and mix it with the main texture (i would send an example but all my projects that had it have been updated with baked textures)

the main thing i see people do is have another mesh on the head (seperated) that sits on the top of it and uses shape keys to move
its hard to explain but look at really any protogen model and thats what im refering to

problem with the first solution is it will only work in blender unless u do it in a very specific way which is usually not much easier than the other one

if anymore info is needed or u want me to explain better just dm me cus i dont wanna fill this chat lmao

[rain wave]

it's a really good optimizer for basically all avis (it will do most of the optimization work for you & compressing)

for better optimization, I recommend you do Andriod override & change the ASTC from 6x6 to 8x8 or higher (the higher the more compressed and reduced it will be)

make sure to reduce those textures!

[copper carbon]

i mean
given my avatar is more or less complete and i dont plan to update her any more i might just ... leave it once i get it to less than 40 on uncompressed

its currently at 43

[rain wave]

ohh I see

[copper carbon]

i still have a decent amount to do like fixing the hands cus the proxy animations hate deira

the left hands fingers just dont work as they should

i have fixed it on her previous version i just dont know how

[rain wave]

that may take awhile

[copper carbon]

wym?

[lunar verge]

Been having a weird issue with animating my avi's left ear with it resetting after animating it. The right one works like normal.
Would anyone have a clue what this weird issue is due to?

[rain wave]

anyone know how to fix locomotion not working on Quest/ limbs not working? it seems it to be an issue where if I move around on quest the avatar legs don't seem to move. looks like I'm just floating around or hovering around & the locomotion doesn't work.

[desert elk]

do you have locomotion enabled in settings?

[fervent spear]

hi guys so when i prone, it is set by default to sit cross legged, how do i set it so that this toggle is off by default?

[somber sequoia]

that's gogo loco, all of those set the parameter VRCEmote, which is 0 by default.

[fervent spear]

ooh thankyou ill have a look

[spark walrus]

Is there a way I can make a submenu a toggle at the same time if that makes sense

[junior void]

no, theyre two different things

[somber sequoia]

there's a variable that submenus can set when you're in them though

[spark walrus]

What exactly does that do

[somber sequoia]

it tells you when you're editing a menu:

when opened the (parameter) is set to (value)
when closed (parameter) is set to zero

[fervent spear]

did i click on the right thing ? sorry im not experienced with this

[spark walrus]

Is there any way I can make it so when these two are toggled on, it toggles on the outfit too and all three are toggled until an individual piece is taken off?

[junior void]

use a parameter driver on outfit to drive the subtoggles on

[spark walrus]

I did but I originally had them all as one INT. Should I make the individual pieces bools?

Because I have to keep them off when the dress is on

[junior void]

you can make all of them bools

[spark walrus]

Is that less optimized in any way

[junior void]

bools use one bit, ints use more

so you tell me

[spark walrus]

But how can I make it so that when i click to turn off for ex, the corset, it turns the outfit toggle off too

[junior void]

it would be a ping pong

[spark walrus]

So not really possible

?

[junior void]

so say you turn on "outfit" and that toggles both the skirt and corset. thats fine right.
then imagine you make that when the skirt is toggled off, it toggles off outfit as well. but outfit toggles off both subtoggles. see the problem here?

youll create yourself a loop like that

[spark walrus]

Ok so what im getting from that is its not really possible

I see what you mean but I just wish it was easier lol

[junior void]

you could make a toggle that has corset false and skirt false as conditions to turn off the outfit toggle i guess

so if you turn off all components, why not turn off outfit bc thats the same thing in the end

[spark walrus]

I just felt like the idea I had was visually appealing and made sense

[junior void]

it does

[hard turtle]

is there a 3d hand referance anywhere for this?

because the splay on my hands is wrong

[void kettle]

How do I make it so it’s only public for some people but also private?

[spark walrus]

Unfortunately not possible

[void kettle]

Oh alright!

Ty for telling me!

[spark walrus]

Maybe through VRCfury you could add a passcode to unlock the avatar and just tell the specific people you give it to the passcode

Thats the best workaround I can think of

[void kettle]

Oo! I might try that!! Tyy!!

[junior void]

usually people will pass on passcodes anyway though

[junior void]

what

chest and hip bones are not optional and must be mapped in the unity rig configuration in order to qualify as a humanoid rig

[vernal pecan]

is there a way to skip some animation state sequences for the players who have just loaded my avi, but have them played and viewed by the players who had my avi already loaded (some long animated sequences between states i would not want to be seen every time avi is just loaded but to make people still able to see avi's condition this animations lead to)

[violet spruce]

Can someone please help me with Blender! im very new to making avatars and got myself a model to practice on and edit instead of starting from scratch.
Im trying to figure out how to make things bigger on the body. Wider hips, butt, breasts etc. Anyone know how I could go about that? Im also trying to figure out how to make the arms a bit thicker as well. Any help would be insanely appreciated!

[junior void]

i would use sculpt mode for that, preferably sculpt on a blendshape so you can always revert your sculpt without "tainting" the base shape

[violet spruce]

ok would you use the inflate tool or?

Ive tried using it a bit but it keeps inflating other stuff like the nipples with the breast, also cant quite figure out how to make it inflate symmetrically

[junior void]

in many cases yes. i like to set the smooth brush to surface instead of laplacian as well to smooth out a few bumps that happen when inflating a lot

if its not mirroring right, then you have unapplied transforms

nips are hard to work around, i usually make a "nips flat" shape and then inflate the breasts. also, if your avi already has a shape for that, you can simply set the shapes maximum higher than 1, which allows you to go over the old maximum

in terms of unity, blendshapes will be capped at 1 even when not capped at 1 in blender so youd want to create a new shape from mix to make your new max be 1

[violet spruce]

ok Zero Im gonna be real with you. You very much know what you are doing and me and my wife are trying to learn this together and are newborns trying to learn quantum physics. Would you be happy to hop in a VC with us and give us imbeciles a hand? XD

[junior void]

i can totally do that, yes, but can you wait like 30 minutes to an hour? i am starving rn and id like to make and have lunch

[violet spruce]

Absolutely! take your time. We appreciate you even taking the time!

legend ❤️

[junior void]

i been there and done that so i can relate, no worries. you asked so nicely, how could i refuse anyway

ill hit xou a message when im back

[violet spruce]

Awesome! got us excited! Appreciate you SO much again

[broken anchor]

happy to see someone solved their problem

here's mine: how could i turn on a object for a CERTAIN player in the room? or is that even possible?

I would like to make a particle system so that specific players hit by the particle system can see specific objects.

[balmy barn]

'yes' but both avatars would have to be made so they have senders/contacts and local only very limited range

[broken anchor]

that sounds not a good news for me

I believe I've meet sb using their crashing gun to make someone had shot crash, and other player seems like fine

or am I misremembering

[timber wharf]

use param driver and 2nd synced byte parameter. you toggle normalToggle=true manually - it goes to long animation, after that it goes to static final state and drives 2nd param, noAnimation=true. initial state has shortcut that goes to final state if noAnim is true. disabling toggle manually goes to empty state that drives noAnim back to false and then exit or init state.

long anim should have condition like normalToggle=true and noAnim=false, shortcut normalToggle=true and noAnim=true

https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/state-behaviors/#avatar-parameter-driver

[vernal pecan]

I just invented same scheme in my head! ))

thank you anyway

[granite wave]

i have a problem about an avatar i want it to get banned

[vernal pecan]

maybe blendshape sil is with open mouth?

what LipSync mode is chosen in avatar descriptor?

try to change it to viseme blend shape

and see if mouth is still open

most likely it controls jaw bone, you can check it also by comparing jaw bone rotation transform with test mode and without

and in blender with all shapekeys to 0 it is closed?

maybe it is opened in base shape?

...ok

[desert elk]

would unmapping the jaw bone in rig configure fix that? if you're not using it for speaking it's kinds useless

i'd just unmap from the rig it tbh

[vernal pecan]

that's how unexpected problems starts )

[lucid rapids]

hello , when i use gogoloco to lay down or sit sometimes something like this happens , is there a way to provide it from happening ?

[desert elk]

this? what's this?

[carmine spear]

Hi ya'll, so i've made this poison bottle with a liquid shader / script from MinionsArt

Everything works in unity however when i try to upload my avatar im told to delete the liquid script - Its a pc only avatar

Are there any liquid systems compatible with vrchat? Or is there a way to make the one im currently using be uploaded?

Heres the one im using rn: https://www.patreon.com/posts/quick-game-art-18245226

[ornate stump]

Nope. You can't have custom script on your avatar.

[gloomy flint]

you'll have to find a liquid shader specifically

usually done with liltoon or an entirely custom made shader

[copper carbon]

yo is there any way to optimise an avatars uncompressed size that preferably isnt remove textures or decimate the heck out of it?
also somehow decimating and merging meshes increased the uncompressed size by like 18mb can someone explain why?

gogoloco can let u change them to different animations
oorrr if u want more customisation for more work and wanna make custom ones u just plug em in here in the avatar descriptor (under playable layers)

[desert elk]

you can set aa custom animation for those states

[lucid rapids]

The Shoulder downward tilted

[desert elk]

are your bones straight in blender?

gogo loco just moves the sceleton

if it's not straight it will be weird looking with gogo

[gloomy flint]

is it tilted even if you move a bit? I sometimes have it happen but it straightens out if I move even a tiny bit as it resets my bone placement

[lucid rapids]

hmmm

so should i look on blender or its not a big deal ?

[zealous gate]

Quick question, I tend to work on avatars from the same game etc., is it wise to have multiple avi's in the same project or would it be better for each their own?

[somber sequoia]

I generally do one project per base, with scenes for the variants.

[fair tulip]

how do i fix these problems

[somber sequoia]

try to unlock and re-lock the shader

the errors though don't mean a whole lot by themselves unfortunately

[fair tulip]

got this after unlocking and locking them

[somber sequoia]

hmm not sure what that's about - you do have Poiyomi in the project right?
You may want to ask on the Poiyomi discord

[fair tulip]

i have poi in and the one that was asked to use by creator of avi

[whole mason]

Does anyone use Modular Avatar to create submenus?

I'm having a problem where I create a submenu and its children toggles are cloned in the top most hierarchy of the selection wheel.

Circled is the children toggles and arrow indicates the submenu it is supposed to be in. They are cloned to the top most hierarchy.

[somber sequoia]

not sure how that works but for VRC Fury you put a slash in the menu name if you want it in a submenu: SubMenu/NewMenu

[whole mason]

I might have to change modules then if I can't find a solution 😅

Also is there a way to disable/select certain parts of the avatar in impostor mode? Some clothes dont render and it's sort of inappropriate if I have it running around in public

[desert elk]

I think the impostor is based on the default way your avatar looks in unity

[somber sequoia]

right but you can use this too:
https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/avatar-impostors#vrcimpostorsettings

[whole mason]

Just found out I could just delete the impostors, thanks for the help everyone!

[desert elk]

oh that's interesting

[timber wharf]

@whole mason as itve been pointed out, if your impostor is too close to nsfw, your main avi might be as well with the animations disabled, so you want to check/fix it.

[rain wave]

hey do you think you could help me out with something?

[somber sequoia]

Please don't ping me for new requests, just ask in here, and if I'm around and can help, I might do so

[spiral osprey]

Can someone help me with this? I have NO IDEA how to fix this 😭 😭

[rain wave]

oh sorry I didn't know it pinged you I think the @ was on

[somber sequoia]

yep - no worries though, I'm around at the moment 🙂

[spiral osprey]

I playtested my avatar and turns out it was JUST THE ARMATURE.

I am starting from scratch

thank GOD i have the model and textures saved

OKAY, so. I fixed the armature thing.

What do i do about this???

Also, can i fix the "bounding box" thing? If so, how?

[somber sequoia]

in right image, click "configure", verify bones are correctly aligned (especially that the root one is the hips bone, not the armature itself), then click done

bounding box size encompasses all mesh/props you have on there, if you have a big thing, then it's big

[spiral osprey]

It's all green

Looks good to me.

[somber sequoia]

You clicked "done" at the bottom then right?

[spiral osprey]

Just did

Nothing changed

[somber sequoia]

ah you may have to set it to generic then back to humanoid

[spiral osprey]

Didn't work

[somber sequoia]

not sure what it is then

[spiral osprey]

What about the bounding box thing?

Maybe something with this?

[somber sequoia]

that should have your avatar in it, yes

did you unpack the avatar prefab or something?

[spiral osprey]

Now these appeared

I have absolutely NO IDEA what i'm doing 😭

[desert elk]

Hi, did you get it working or are you still taking advice?

[spiral osprey]

Can i have help instead

[desert elk]

great 👍

[spiral osprey]

What does this mean??

what the fuck is a bounding box????

[desert elk]

I read the messages

[somber sequoia]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_bounding_box

[desert elk]

did you try importing the avatar into a new project and setting it up again?

[somber sequoia]

it's that big because all parts of your avatar, enabled or not, are at least that big

[junior void]

Why can we not quickly google this and watch a tutorial

[spiral osprey]

I already did that, And THIS time, it's actually using the model.

[desert elk]

using the model?

[spiral osprey]

It used the skeleton.

ONLY the skeleton.

Without the model.

[desert elk]

oh, it wasn't weight painted or patented properly, I see

[desert elk]

if you search your assets is there an avatar file that you could put in?

[spiral osprey]

But i got THAT to work, it's actually using the model.

[spiral osprey]

Searching

[spiral osprey]

Nope

[junior void]

Itll make one if you configure the rig. I dont understand the problem

[desert elk]

it's right there...

or am I blind?

[junior void]

The blue man figure

[desert elk]

yeah

I was right

[spiral osprey]

OHH

YEAH

Sorry last time i did this was a LONG time ago 😭

[desert elk]

mhm

[spiral osprey]

So how do i fix this

[desert elk]

but that avatarman in the avatar slot

[desert elk]

the second one here

[spiral osprey]

Right

[desert elk]

that should fix the problem

[somber sequoia]

that is a great name

[spiral osprey]

i did that a while ago

[spiral osprey]

I already did that, and that CAUSED the red things to appear

BEFORE the red things, it said THIS

[desert elk]

do you have your bones parented correctly?

that's the only thing that comes to my mind

[spiral osprey]

You mean this order?

[desert elk]

yeah

[spiral osprey]

..Is it correct?

[junior void]

I feel like you overwrite the fbx and since then this is happening

[desert elk]

that's why I suggested a new project, but apparently they've already done that

[somber sequoia]

(also you probably don't want to import lights from Blender)

[spiral osprey]

So do i delete the lights?

[desert elk]

i don't see anything on that screenshot, and even with the previous rig configuration screenshots you cut out the important parts

[somber sequoia]

better to just not export them

[spiral osprey]

Tell me what to screenshot

[desert elk]

I'd suggest completely reimporting it from blender with the correct settings and only the avatar (no light!)

[junior void]

Id delete the fbx from unity and export a new one from blender

[spiral osprey]

I'll get to that then

[desert elk]

That's gigantic! no wonder your box is so big nevermind that's a different mesh(?) I'm confused

export it again

and import it again

[somber sequoia]

at the least, in the FBX export window, only select "armature" and "mesh", set "Apply scalings" to "FBX All", turn off leaf bones under "Armature"

[spiral osprey]

Trust me, I'm confused too.

So i removed the camera and lights in blender

Do I do ANYTHING else before exporting this?

[somber sequoia]

apply scalings to all objects, and also make sure it's the size you want it to be in Unity.

[spiral osprey]

From what I remember, It was just SLIGHTLY bigger than what it should be.

So how do I make it smaller?

[somber sequoia]

scale it

[desert elk]

scale it

and apply all transforms after

[somber sequoia]

you probably want to set the 3D cursor to the origin and use that as the transform point, so it doesn't move off the floor

[desert elk]

yup

[pure estuary]

Hi there

[desert elk]

hello

export settings @spiral osprey

after you're done scaling your avatar

[spiral osprey]

Where do i find that?

[junior void]

Seriously

[desert elk]

when you export as FBX?

...

[somber sequoia]

(I also like to set Smoothing under Geometry to Face, but then you want to import blendshape normals - up to you)

nods to Zero

[desert elk]

you sort of need to click it to do the action

just putting your mouse there isn't enough

[junior void]

Sort of

[desert elk]

sort of

[spiral osprey]

Guess i never noticed that

huh

[junior void]

You what

[round comet]

parenting bones is greyed out for me for some reason. Any clue why?

[desert elk]

you most likely just blindly went export in the corner without looking at any settings

are you in edit mode?

on your armature

not the mesh

[round comet]

edit mode too? lemme try

[spiral osprey]

Alrighty then, so i did whatever you said in the screenshot

[somber sequoia]

you can't edit an armature without being in armature edit mode

[desert elk]

yes

[round comet]

oo tanks! :3

works good!

I be learning

[somber sequoia]

yay, learning!

[desert elk]

great, export it and import it to unity again (delete the previous model, don't override it!)

[round comet]

redoing my model with a new outfit so I have to readd everything, but creating my medium was successful, so ty guys ^0^

[oak bone]

i would delete the animation. I assume this is a mixamo rig?

[spiral osprey]

Delete THIS?

[desert elk]

yes. your avatar

or start a completely new project

without the old one there

that's up to you

[spiral osprey]

OKAY

This iS BAD

[desert elk]

?

[desert elk]

relax please

[somber sequoia]

you clearly have not watched any basic avatar setup videos.

[somber meadow]

first start by clicking autofix on those 2 errors

[spiral osprey]

Right, yeah.

[somber meadow]

it'll fix the integer limit showing on the triangle count

[spiral osprey]

I didn't notice that

again

The red thing's still there tho

[desert elk]

did you set the rig to humanoid? and is the avatarman in place?

[spiral osprey]

Yeah

[desert elk]

and show the rig set up not cropped out like previously

[desert elk]

hm

[somber meadow]

can you print that error to the console and show it

[spiral osprey]

From what I can tell, everything looks fine

[spiral osprey]

Alright

[spiral osprey]

I tried to remove that animation

Couldn't figure it out

[somber meadow]

you can disable import animations in that checkbox

[spiral osprey]

That didn't fix the red things

[desert elk]

someone said you should delete the animation from blender

could be that the animation is somehow overriding the rig. Idk I've never used mixamo

[spiral osprey]

WELP.

I'm gonna remove the animation.

That animation thing?

[desert elk]

yes. just the animation! not the armature

you currently have the armature selected

and the animation

delete only the animation

[spiral osprey]

I clicked "clear animation data"

[desert elk]

oh actually I was wondering, is that bipedal pony you were showing a paid or a free avatar?

[pure estuary]

Hi there

[desert elk]

try importing it into unity again

[desert elk]

if you have a question ask it. This is the second time you just said hi xd

ah alright

[spiral osprey]

ThanKS!!!11!!

I am TRyIng to YelL witHOut AleRtinG tHe BoT!!!

[desert elk]

it's also against rules to talk about ripping

[desert elk]

bravo, so it must've been the animation, since deleting it fixed it

isn't getting a paid Avi for free ripping? 🤔

or am I misunderstanding what that means

[somber meadow]

that would be just normal piracy

ripping is reversing the AssetBundle that VRChat provides to you that holds the avatar

[desert elk]

ah I see

I understand now

[spiral osprey]

This is how i felt going through this:

[somber meadow]

basically ripping what the game gives you instead of using a pirated/leaked version

[spiral osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/angai313-spongebob-sad-spongebob-crying-gif-21679826

[spiral osprey]

Embed fail....

[desert elk]

ah okay I understand now

[tall dock]

Anyone that knows about constraints, a little help

1. Posed extra arms
2. After toggling to constraint on then off the hand idle overwrites the posed hand signals and location as showin in pictures

What do I do?

[somber sequoia]

Most of what's there is that, yeah

[spiral osprey]

Where's shaders?

If i do this I'M DONE.

[tall dock]

Materials

[fresh cliff]

does anyone know how to get unity 2018.4.20f1 running on Raspberry Pi 5?

[somber meadow]

VRChat doesn't let you upload on that version since 2 years ago. Use the latest recommended version which is 2022.3.22

[spiral osprey]

and where's materials

nvm i think i found it

[somber sequoia]

on your mesh renderers!

[tall dock]

If you didn't create your own they're set inside the fbx, although I recommend creating yours

[spiral osprey]

I don't think this is it

[desert elk]

oh, there's something I noticed. Did you move the view point to be in between your eyes? cause that looks like the default position to me and I just wanna make sure you won't need to reupload it again

[desert elk]

you need to make a material

[spiral osprey]

I almost forgot about that

[desert elk]

and set your texture on it

[spiral osprey]

I don't see it

Brain hurty

[desert elk]

i think

[somber sequoia]

Yes, that's a material, not a texture.

[desert elk]

you need to change it's shader now

[spiral osprey]

How do I change the shader tho

[desert elk]

open the material?

and there will be a shader setting at the top in the inspector

[spiral osprey]

I don't have a slither of an idea of what you're talking about

when i double click it it opens 3d viewer

[desert elk]

idk how your material is set up

mine is usually it's own thing in the assets that I can click

idk how you set yours up

[spiral osprey]

So close yet so far

[somber sequoia]

greyed out = embedded in the FBX, you can't edit.

swap it

or you're editing the wrong one

[desert elk]

he is

that's material.004

you're supposed to edit betterworkingtexture.mat

it legit tells you where it's in in the assets

[spiral osprey]

Right yeah

Found that

the right one

[desert elk]

change the shader to something like standard lite or toon lit

[spiral osprey]

Fixed the shader

NOW all I need to do is set the eyes

[desert elk]

bravo 👏

[idle portal]

Hihi sorry to interupt but could anyone help figure out whats wrong with my face blendshapes? Theyre fine as shapekeys in blender but they break(specifically the labret) when i send it into unity ^^"

[spiral osprey]

How do i do that ahain?

I pressed edit

[desert elk]

do what?

[spiral osprey]

nothing is really happening

[desert elk]

you need to move it

[somber sequoia]

turn on gizmos - globe icon in the upper right of the scene view

[spiral osprey]

It's view position right

[desert elk]

honestly to me they look the same, but, make sure all shape keys are set to 0 in blender when exporting

[desert elk]

yes

[spiral osprey]

When i press edit literally nothing happens

when i move it i move the whole model

[desert elk]

...

how

then type in numbers instead of using arrows

[spiral osprey]

I can't see it either

[desert elk]

the white balls need to be between our eyes

[desert elk]

gizmos turned on?

turn them on

...

I saw that

[spiral osprey]

saw what

[desert elk]

and I'm done helping

[spiral osprey]

NONO

SORRY

[desert elk]

I'm not your friend to joke with like that

[pale adder]

does the freeze to world constraint option sync with late joiners yet

[round comet]

curious here-- My avatar has really tall boots, but the heel part is in the ground. Is there any way to fix that? also want it so if I toggle the boots off the height would change too

I've seen it before I think?

[feral abyss]

I've run out of bits for parameters, this is actually so sad

[round comet]

sadge

think vrcfury has an unlimited params thing but its local maybe? unsure how it works

[feral abyss]

it has a sync thing that basically disables the params of certain objects so that only you see them, so yeah they become local. technically, one of my gadgets is for my benefit only, im the only one who can see it, its an fx, but i assume disabling the params would stop other people being able to interact with it hence it not showing for me?

[young vault]

kk so this is an issue i've had for ages, every time i upload an avatar the viewpoint is in the mouth instead of the eyes, even tho i set the position right

any ideas?

[young vault]

you should be able to just move the hip bone up in the rig configurator in unity

[desert elk]

is the scale of the avatar 1.1.1?

jezus

[young vault]

naw it's 1, i scaled it right in blender

does the scaling mess with the viewpoint?

[desert elk]

sometimes

it did for my avatar once

[junior kayak]

how and where do i change these textures ?

[somber meadow]

that would be the material itself to modify

you need to use a shader that supports transparency

[idle jetty]

Does anybody know how to do something like this

[somber sequoia]

vaguely, sure.

contacts, animations, etc, etc.

[dusk jolt]

i need help with some physbones, i bought this scarf but i cant get the physbones to work, please help

[somber sequoia]

post your physbone component

[dusk jolt]

i want kind of a anime floaty effect

[dusk jolt]

where is that? im still kind of new to this stuff

[somber sequoia]

no idea where you put it. Possibly on the root of the scarf's bones?

[dusk jolt]

this stuff?

the segments were already there, i had to add the bones manually

[somber sequoia]

yeah - though note that screenshots are easy and not blurry.

wait, you added bones?

[dusk jolt]

sorry

[somber sequoia]

in what, Unity?

[dusk jolt]

yeah

physbones

[somber sequoia]

bones or physbones?

[dusk jolt]

physbones

[somber sequoia]

ok

discord is being stupid and your video isn't playing for me unfortunately

[dusk jolt]

is glitchy and spazy n shit

no where near smooth

[somber sequoia]

well this is where you start messing with the various settings

maybe increase stiffness?

[dusk jolt]

i have been, cant figure out which it is

tried every setting ive seen

its very blocky and glitchy

there

i also want to get rid of the ears and tail, but its not my priority right now

[somber sequoia]

ooh this one plays - weird. Anyway looks like your pull and spring are too high, spring especially. Though .2 seems low already

[dusk jolt]

so should i put it back on simple settings?

[somber sequoia]

unless you need the advanced, simple is simpler, but it's all about whatever works. Maybe try increasing "immobile" to dampen it some

[high fable]

hi, I'm trying to add hair to my avatar using modular avatar, but it says "setup outfit failed to process" and that the hair isn't parented to the avatar, even though it is. It was working all day and now no matter what I try to attach, to any avatar, I get this error. Please help!

[night ember]

how many componenets did you add?

[dusk jolt]

one for each highlighted segment

[night ember]

thats not how physbones work

you only need one component

[dusk jolt]

deadass?

which do i need to put it on?

[night ember]

every single component is stacking on top of each other causing it to freak out

the root

[dusk jolt]

so on mine which would that be?

[night ember]

the top one since its the literal root bone of the chain

[dusk jolt]

holy shit that worked thank you so much

[night ember]

whats with all of you scammers and using the same copy and pasted everything

[somber sequoia]

"root" as in the root of the tree

[high fable]

I really need help with this, I have no idea why it's happening

[somber sequoia]

is there a discord for modular avatar?

[ornate stump]

If it's hair, you just only use Bone Proxy component to parent the hair bone to head. No need for armature merge.

[twilit garnet]

i need help adding shoes to an avi because i tried vrcfury stuff and i think i messed something up

[high fable]

it's not just hair, it's literally anything I try to add, including clothes and bodies

[ornate stump]

Then you'd try to reverse your process and try to find what you added that broke it.

[high fable]

it happens across multiple projects, so it dosen't seem to be one thing I added?

[ornate stump]

What the error actually said? Screenshot it.

[high fable]

and it is placed inside the avatar!

[ornate stump]

Does the avatar actually have avatar descriptor?

[high fable]

I don't know, how would I check?

[ornate stump]

Just inspect your avatar root object.

[high fable]

I don't see anything that says avatar descripter, but I might be looking in the wrong place. It was working fine earlier, I don't know what changed

and it happens with everything

[ornate stump]

Then you likely doesn't have avatar descriptor.

Avatar descriptor is the absolute requirement to make the avatar.

[high fable]

okay I used build to add an avatar descriptor and now it gave me this, saying there are no hips when there are hips literally right there.

[somber sequoia]

that "Orion_Sotai" object is where it should be

(that's your avatar root)

[ornate stump]

It's asking for Armature of your added body object.

You see the Setup outfit try to link 2 armature together. But your "body" doesn't have its own armature.

[high fable]

okay thanks!

[high fable]

wait it's happening with non body objects, with things that are meant for the same avatar, like hair

[ornate stump]

Hair isn't "Outfit" so you shouldn't be using Setup Outfit for it.

As I said before: use bone proxy.

[high fable]

okay

[ornate stump]

You only use Setup Outfit when object you want to add have matching Armature with the base model.

[high fable]

okay thanks!

[royal agate]

I need help adding a seat to my avatar

I got the seat working but I want a button to be able to turn it on and off

And also a way to adjust its position on the avatar

[somber sequoia]

put the seat on a game object, toggle that object on and off.

move said object to the place you want it

[broken glade]

Anyone good with avatar materials can give me a hand?

[royal agate]

that is not really helpful at all

[broken glade]

i'm trying to make a portion of my avatar transparent

but for some reason its not

[ornate stump]

You have to set material render preset to transparent or cutout.

[broken glade]

yeah i have but somethings applying a white looking color over the portion i have mask for

[ornate stump]

Screenshot how you set the material and how it's look like.

[broken glade]

okay putting it transparent just made it all go black

[iron kindle]

Hey guys, how can I connect clothes to my armature within Unity without using VRCfury?

Attempting to make my avatar VRM

[ornate stump]

There are instructions in their website.

[iron kindle]

I meant to say without

[ornate stump]

Then you have to unpack the cloth object and move cloth bones into matching base armature bones.

[spark walrus]

is there any way i could get a avatar made for free igot no money

[ornate stump]

Learn to make one is free.

[iron kindle]

Can you help me find a tutorial?

[spark walrus]

how u think u can help me

[iron kindle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wxpUsqxpAY Checking this one out

[ornate stump]

Can't do.

[spark walrus]

can u help me make it

i was trying to get this made

[ornate stump]

I can't help you hand-on.

[spark walrus]

oh

[iron kindle]

Depending on what the avatar you want is Vroid is a good program

[spark walrus]

i sent pics of what im trying to get made u think its possible to make it'

[iron kindle]

Try the VRC traders server, they have a room for asking for freebies

[spark walrus]

wheres that

i just got here

[ornate stump]

#avatar-general message

[spark walrus]

i just ask in there

[ornate stump]

It's a link containing info.

[spark walrus]

oh

[spark walrus]

thank u

[ornate stump]

Try trans clipping instead. Also try disable other shader feature like "Detail".

[gritty temple]

Is there any tutorials on how to replace a colour on an avatar asset?

For example, I want to change the hair colour of an avatar in Unity, but I don’t know how. Someone told me something about it needing a new pattern applied to it but it wasn’t explained very clearly.

[left gull]

be careful as you're likely going to receive some major scam DMs from users in here

might want to delete any messages talking about getting stuff made

[somber sequoia]

but why not? I'm not sure what else you need

[royal agate]

i need to now how to add a button to turn the seats on and off and how to add a way to adjust the seat’s position in game

[somber sequoia]

for the button it's just a standard toggle, right? there are lots of video tutorials on that

as for adjusting position in game that's waaaaaay harder, you'd have to use a parent constraint pinned to the world position then animate moving it. it wasn't clear that's what you meant from the initial request

[clever jolt]

what controls the state of objects and blendshapes while I'm doing fbt calibration?

[arctic ginkgo]

afaik it should be the state the avatar is in within the scene upon upload

[clever jolt]

it seems to be some mix of that and the existing state

blendshapes are going to the state they have in the scene, but object active just stays the way it was before calibrating

I think

[sharp imp]

Maybe someone knows what the problem is? The texture seems to be there, but it is not displayed.

[clever cloak]

man i love fishing

[desert elk]

woah

[hollow rover]

does anyone know how to fix this? i did try going to the configure avatar to check but everything there is normal, when i t pose its normal but when i dont the 2 fingers contort

[junior void]

are you using vrchat default hand animations or did you make your own

[hollow rover]

im using default

[junior void]

have you tried setting the rig to generic and back to humanoid?

[hollow rover]

nope not yet let me try that rn

just did it and its still broken

even if i remove all the playable layers it still acts like that

[desert elk]

maybe the bones are in weird spots?

[hollow rover]

yeah im hella confused, all the bones are in the proper place

idk why its doing that tbh

[junior void]

if you drag in a new fbx, does it still do this

[hollow rover]

just tried it and yeah

it might a blender issue maybe? but it looks normal on blender too so idk

[junior void]

is it posed perhaps?

[hollow rover]

posed? like in unity?

[junior void]

either or

[hollow rover]

on blender and unity its just doing a basic t pose model if thats what you mean

i didnt have to touch anything on the posing

[junior void]

what export settings do you use in blender

[hollow rover]

so its an xps model that i used export to fbx

[balmy barn]

xps models have these wierd bones, merge to wrist

[hollow rover]

yeah the ring finger and little finger might have an issue since the rest of the fingers work fine

gonna experiment more to see whats wrong but yeah thank you guys for the ideas

[junior void]

thulen just told you what to do

merge the weird mid wrist bones to the wrist bone bc xps models have too many bones in the hand which vrchat does not like. vrchat expects one wrist/hand bone and the fingers on it, not 5 writst bones

[left gull]

not sure if you ever fixed this but might be a case of the normals being flipped

[hollow rover]

yep you guys were right

just tested it on the left hand and its fixed

[sharp imp]

I checked this and answer yes and no, ahah

[hollow rover]

now just gotta do the right, it was the fucked up bones on the wrist

[sharp imp]

I just export it with emotions on, and it worked

[hollow rover]

yeah idk why but blender decided to give those 2 fingers that were f'ed up 4 finger bones

while normally you should only have a distal, proximal and intermediate

[vernal pecan]

If i moved bones and reimported fbx, what is the easiest way to update new bone positions and rotations inside my avi? Cause i have to add new prefab and copy transforms from it to my avi for every bone i moved in blender

[ornate stump]

Just don't unpack your prefab and it will update automatically.

[vernal pecan]

it is not possible for me, maybe there is another way..

pity, that mass copy-paste to bone tree isn't working

but i was sure i manage to make mass copy work somehow before

[desert elk]

why do you need to unpack the prefab?

I'm wondering why that's needed for you

[vernal pecan]

it was unpacked long time ago to move some things inside it

and changed too deep from then, so now not much left in the same condition, still using same meshes

[flat canopy]

hey did anybody have this problem before? Im trying to set up my eye look in unity. The face looks normal until i go on to preview mode. The eyeballs just go black when i'm trying to test out the Rotation States even though it shouldnt do that for "Looking Straight". There is like a "flat" eyeball inside the head visible but its completely bugging out idk 😭 and when i am trying to rotate its just making it worse (works fine in blender)

[versed pecan]

is it possible on quest materials to change the tiling and offset for one material and not all materials

[ornate stump]

Yes. With a condition where it has to be separate objects.

[versed pecan]

Im gonna end it all

I can do 2 skinned meshes tho I think

im targeting medium

Need this to be at least somewhat close to the pc model ;3

little clothes switching thing that I wanna keep between quest and pc, poiyomi is smart and lets you seperate material names dont know why unity or vrc shaders cant

[desert elk]

are your eye bones straight in blender?

[versed pecan]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm can I upload a slightly modified shader file or is that not allowed because I think I could change the name of the thingy in the shader a little bit

[balmy barn]

ha no

[versed pecan]

dies

[balmy barn]

ive made some avatars using tilesheets for quest, you need another material for uv shifting

[flat canopy]

pretty straight lol

[desert elk]

ah okay

[versed pecan]

better than nothning I guesssssssss...

[balmy barn]

pc have waay more options you can just use a decal animated

[versed pecan]

didnt do that on pc because poiyomi only gives me 4 decals, and the flipbook renders over the decals I already needed

[placid mica]

I have a question about uploading Avis

If I buy an avatar that has audio link features, generally, is that something that is already included in the avi? Or is that something I need to add to my VCC/Unity project? Like how you have to add a shader?

[timber wharf]

audio link doesnt require any avatar package to just upload, only worlds or to test stuff. from avatar point its just shader keywords on material

but overall just read readme for avi

[fierce grove]

does anyone know why when i close my hands into a fist, my avatar's middle finger deforms like this

[fierce grove]

also for some reason one of the polygons around my avatar's eyes is messed up? i have no idea what could cause that

[zinc jacinth]

The parameter is working between the Contact Sender and Receiver, but is not driving the parameter in the Animator.
Why?

[balmy barn]

it wont have any clue what to talk to if you leave it none

[fiery crow]

does it look fine in unity?

could be several things, hard to say without more info

[fierce grove]

yeah, it does
the avatar has a physbone, if that's any help

[fiery crow]

have u checked to see if its a weighting issue?

[zinc jacinth]

I tried putting it on an avatar's FX, yet it still does not drive the animator layer

[fierce grove]

hang on, let me check

alright i think i may have found the problem
for some reaon theres 2 copies of the same vertex group and one of them is empty

[undone onyx]

I cant figure out how to work my face tracking on my avi others work just not mine idk what to do

[fiery crow]

does the avi have the correct blend-shapes and logic for it?

[undone onyx]

I have no idea

[somber sequoia]

well without that it won't work so you'd need to find out

[undone onyx]

Its my first time setting it up so im not sure what I need

[somber sequoia]

docs and such are at https://vrfct.io and there's a discord specifically for this too, but you need a compatible avatar

[undone onyx]

I have the face tracking stuff on the rindo avi

Just gotta figure it out

Thank you!

Ah, the website cant be reached

[somber sequoia]

oh sorry, it's just http, not https

it bounces you here anyway: https://github.com/benaclejames/VRCFaceTracking

[undone onyx]

Thanks a ton

[broken anchor]

if there anyone know if player can be a collider for particle system collision setting?

[proven vessel]

hello people! im having some difficulty with unity particles. so basically im trying to do that thing where you can make like a gun for your avatar and make it shoot by making a gesture. i have the unity animation and when i play it in unity it shows the particles being active, but in game nothing happens. and when i use gesture manager to try and test it, it seems to work but again nothing happens in game. any help would be appriciated. Thanks!!

im pretty sure i have the animator setup right too

for clearence, the gun shows up, its just the particles that are supposed to shoot that arent showing up

[tall dock]

Can u send an image of the hierarchy? sometimes particles need to be in a game object aside from other things, also there was a setting that made the particles not show up in play mode / vrc

[fiery crow]

is ur renderer enabled?

and are u using a buffer particle by chance?

[proven vessel]

I got some bad news, my WiFi just went out like 5 minutes ago 💀 lemme take a look at my unity and text from my phone

[fiery crow]

[tall dock]

lol

[proven vessel]

So this is my hierarchy

And my renderer is set to billboard

[west magnet]

I gave my avatar a custom Gesture layer but its not using it in game and just uses the default one, how would I fix that?

[desert elk]

does your FX also have hand gestures?

[west magnet]

No, its just the GoGo Loco Beyond FX layer

[desert elk]

ah alright

so it should be okay assuming you put it in the gesture layer and have correct masks assigned

[west magnet]

I guess I could just remake the Gestures in the FX layer

[desert elk]

did you have the gesture layer yourself or did you copy it from the sdk files?

[proven vessel]

@tall dock don’t wanna be one of those annoying kids that ping for help all the time but I just wanted to make sure you saw this

[tall dock]

Ah dw, it doesn't annoy me

And i don't check much this channel so pings actually help

[proven vessel]

Ok lol, just checkin

[tall dock]

Alr i recommend all the particles/subparticles be a child of an empty gameobject

because hiding and revealing the particles themselves in animations sometimes tend to break

and check what the other guy told you too, if the particles aren't hidden in some way on the settings

[undone onyx]

Ok so what should I do for facetracking when it tells me I have too many 406/256 bits

Idk how to work this

[proven vessel]

I see them when I click play, unless it’s something with the sdk, lemme put them into a game object now. Where should I put it?

[sinful terrace]

Hey what’s the mb limit when uploading to pc?

[tall dock]

memory limit i think it's abut 500

[tall dock]

alr alr

honestly wherever u want

if you want it to move with the head put it inside the head

or inside the bone that moves the pistol

like a normal toggle/object
