[cosmic valley]

yo so anyone wondering why he does that when he crouches btw, i suspect it coulda been his bone is too long but idk.
it does this for him looking up and affects his walking

[cosmic valley]

if u dont understand his legs get shifted upwards

[lone flax]

Hey, I'm trying to make a glass material using poiyomi but the whole thing goes transparent. The model I'm using is the Nervegear from SAO so I wanna make the glass part slightly transparent please help

[cloud ore]

I'm an idiot, forgot to disable looping.

[balmy barn]

try a alpha mask (mask out he part on texture/uv you want to be transparent) or put transparent things on a different material , rendering queue can be fun

[cosmic valley]

can someone help me

[lone flax]

How do I do that?

[balmy barn]

blender - seperate the things you want to be transparent , give them its own material, merge meshes & export over fbx in unity (if its not unpacked)

other would be a texture for masking

masking , gimp/photoshop ect , figure out where on the texture you want to be transparent (having uv exported as texture from blender is hand) , new layer make things on it white everything else black , thats a mask you can use in the material setup for a alpha mask

[timid kite]

why in some worlds my skin looks super dark?

[limber oriole]

World lighting

[cosmic valley]

at times it ends up twisting the entire body

[misty ridge]

how do i optimize my mamehinata avatar (without using the quest version) until the point it can be uploaded on quest

[desert elk]

idk what the stats are but the general, less toggles, less polygons, smaller texture size

[cosmic valley]

how do i prevent the legs from going up

when i crouch

etc

[prisma thunder]

Uh

Gonna need more details than that bud

Is it avatar size? Shaders?

[cosmic valley]

why does it twist the limbs

[balmy barn]

blender, fix rotation / straighten out bones

if your legs does wierd things when you look up/down try moving viewpoint

too far out i think cause it been ages

[somber sequoia]

check your bone roll values, make them 0 for humanoid bones

that is weird though

[cosmic valley]

bone roll values?

[somber sequoia]

yes?

[night ember]

Its not exactly that weird for avatars with no knee bend

[somber sequoia]

ohhhhh no knee bend, yeah that makes sense

[night ember]

Unity's rigging does fuck all when it has perfectly vertical bones

[cosmic valley]

that one was when i tried to bend it abit

it does fix some things

but not all

[somber sequoia]

they meant in your rest position as configured in Blender, not you moving in VR

[cosmic valley]

wheres that if u dont mind me asking

[cosmic valley]

i

thats kinda what i meant

[balmy barn]

knee goes hurgh

[somber sequoia]

is this another case where you could easily look something up but aren't?
each bone has a roll value that you can see in blender in edit mode, in the "item" tab of the "n" pop-up menu. This ought to be 0 for most humanoid bones and eyes.

(the first hit on google for "blender bone roll" is to the Blender docs on the subject)

[cosmic valley]

i dont use blender, i thought you were referring to like unity. i kinda thought you'd tell me where it might be

[livid yarrow]

any idea why the same set of clothes looks messed up when i changed from poiyomi to standardlite for quest?

[ruby summit]

does anyone know how to find all animators? i think i have something there that is playing an audio each time i enter play mode

[night ember]

Vertex colors

[somber sequoia]

they're listed in your avatar descriptor

[livid yarrow]

frig

[ruby summit]

its empty

[cosmic valley]

i think that might be it actually

cus its like 0.000014

on the bones

[somber sequoia]

not sure how that works then

[ruby summit]

wait found it

[night ember]

Audio plays automatically if its enabled by default

[ruby summit]

i think

[somber sequoia]

I'd think that would be close enough to 0 that you wouldn't see anything weird, but hey, maybe.
The knee angle is also an issue

[ruby summit]

it was an audio source inside the package

[somber sequoia]

I should just let you answer this morning. Or drink more coffee.

[cosmic valley]

huh

i thought i bent the knee so it doesnt have a problem

[night ember]

Man I am sleep deprived as shit

[somber sequoia]

saaaame

[somber sequoia]

oh now that I look at that again, maybe that's enough

[night ember]

Ive also spent too long dealing with unity shit

[ruby summit]

i know this may be too specific

but does anyone know how to converd mmd animations into unity?

[night ember]

Blender if it isnt already an anim file

[cosmic valley]

holy fuck my right eye is very itchy

[cosmic valley]

also the feets and hands have like 90 roll

[somber sequoia]

why?

[cosmic valley]

idk

i just found out that they did

idk if that caused the legs

or not

[spark walrus]

Could someone help me, I'm trying to upload an avatar but I keep getting this error and I'm unsure how to fix it

[livid yarrow]

thank you

[somber sequoia]

"missing script" - you need to install all the pre-requisites for that avatar. Something is missing.

[somber sequoia]

sorry, forgot to reply, that one was for you

[spark walrus]

I installed everything for this avatar which has me confused

[somber sequoia]

seems not, somehow

it does tell you where the scripts are though, so that's helpful

[spark walrus]

Fair that is helpful, just am unsure what I need to install

[spark walrus]

Think it'd be a good idea to reupload everything?

[somber sequoia]

really couldn't tell you from here, unfortunately

[cosmic valley]

building it and testing if the suggestions i got worked

[night ember]

Did you change the rig in unity after

[cosmic valley]

wym

[night ember]

You need to redo the humanoid rigging after editing humanoid bones

[cosmic valley]

idk what i need to change about this

[night ember]

Redo it entirely

Change it to generic then back to humanoid

[somber sequoia]

vrchat requires shoulders and chest

[cosmic valley]

yes but i dont know what im meant to be redoing i thought it looked fine before i redid it

[somber sequoia]

Change it to generic then back to humanoid

(and provide shoulders and chest)

[night ember]

Armature isnt meant to be a bone

[cosmic valley]

idk if its named that or if its actually the armature

[somber sequoia]

ooh yeah, that's a problem I often see. That's the actual armature, you want to put the hips bone there

whatever the top-most bone is under the armature object

[cosmic valley]

wanna see a magic trick

[somber sequoia]

this presumes that your armature is setup correctly - the upper-leg bones should be direct children of the hips bone

[cosmic valley]

i put it under hips and its still saying the same

unless it has to be the same case in blender

[somber sequoia]

you cannot edit the armature in a useful way in Unity, so don't try

[cosmic valley]

noted.

[somber sequoia]

also that looks unpacked - don't unpack your avatar prefab or you can't update the avatar from blender

[ruby summit]

omg i feel so proud

i exported my first mmd animation into my avatar :D

[cosmic valley]

so when i do that it wont twist anymore?

[somber sequoia]

I didn't say that 🙂

[cosmic valley]

so you're saying that isnt related to the twist problem

alright

[ruby summit]

this is the result btw

[somber sequoia]

I'm saying that I can't say anything for sure from here, all I can offer is suggestions of things to look at

[dull sable]

I need help with an mmd blend shape. My regular visemes work but not the mmd lip sync for an mmd world and i have the mesh called body. If you can please dm

[cosmic valley]

fair enough then

trial and error for now then. im kinda hoping this one works though

it does look like the armature coulda caused the twisting

[somber sequoia]

what help do you need here? do you have the right mmd shape keys?

[cosmic valley]

holy shit morty it might be working

[balmy barn]

creates blendshapes thats most commonly used in jp mmd animations https://github.com/ShyWolf42/Copy-to-MMD-Visemes , and hope animation isnt translated , you wont know unless you see the animation file

[cosmic valley]

time to sound like an npc

it works!!!

[somber sequoia]

yay!

[cosmic valley]

ty for pointing the armature thing out bro

[somber sequoia]

you're welcome!

[simple hare]

anyone knows a workaround for cloth components breaking whenever your avatar gets reloaded since the new update? (for example fbt calibration, turn locomotion on/off, switching avatar and then back, rejoining a world...). it's very annoying because it breaks my skirt and i dont want to accidentally flash my underwear all the time

[balmy barn]

welcome to how unreliable cloth is

[cosmic valley]

question, the viewpoint wont change sides when i try to move it z cus its offset on the left of the cam

how do i change it so its in the middle of the eyes

[desert elk]

you need to move the avatar in blender

the view points X coordinate must be 0

[cosmic valley]

oh

i see

alr

[simple hare]

mhm it can be quite annoying at times. and the bug were it puts your nametag faaaaaaaar above your head too. but it works far better than physbones for me with my skirt having so few verts

[cosmic valley]

ty

[balmy barn]

cloth is local side, others will never see what you see so its definatly not reliable - most of the time i see them stuck on some collider

physbone is much better for that

[simple hare]

yeah i know it's not exactly for others than for me. but i messed around many hours with multiple devices to make sure it doesnt get stuck somewhere from other players viewpoint. it was a pain xD

but if nothing helps with the new bug and if it doesnt get fixed with another vrc update i probably have to change to physbones anyways T_T

[cloud ore]

Is there any way to test how Safety System fallbacks look (for ex. shader fallback) without creating a twink account?

[somber meadow]

There’s a toggle to see fallback shaders in the action menu options

[balmy barn]

only shows imposter , not a custom selected fallback

[ruby summit]

i got this animation where the character is supposed to move more, but hes not doing it

[cloud ore]

So effectively the only option is to have another account or a friend...

[balmy barn]

quicklaunch start 2+ clients stare at your other account (pconly)

[ruby summit]

what i mean is his position btw

like, hes standing in the middle when hes supposed to walk around

[somber meadow]

If you have the avatar in unity, you can use LilAvatarUtils instead

[balmy barn]

you converted vmd animation in blender? wont work

hips wont do much

[ruby summit]

yeah 😭

[ruby summit]

shakira was wrong, hips do lie

[balmy barn]

you can grab blenshapes from blender but motion you can convert using unity and some odd program

updated mine some days ago

[ruby summit]

and is there any way to convert it correctly? i also have some issues with the legs tho

[balmy barn]

look up VRChatAvatarToolkit

comes with a vmd to unity animation conveter using a pmx

https://gitee.com/cmoyuer/vrchat-avatar-toolkit/blob/v2.0/Example/Vmd2Anim/main.md

will not grab blendshapes you do that from blender

[ruby summit]

the page is on japanese/chinese

[balmy barn]

yes?

[ruby summit]

this page is so comp`licated

[balmy barn]

https://gitee.com/cmoyuer/vrchat-avatar-toolkit/releases/tag/v2.1.2

[ruby summit]

easier, ty

now, how does it work?

[cloud ore]

Is there any way to manually setup parameters of Standard shader on fallback from poiyomi ?

[ruby summit]

guys how do i test audiolink on the editor?

[cloud ore]

https://youtu.be/Gp1woO9RzGY

[ruby summit]

yeah thats the tutorial im following

oh nvm i skipped the step for the prefab

[cloud ore]

Then as soon as you add audiolink prefab into your scene you can just start game mode and you'll hear the music 🙂

[ruby summit]

btw do you know any cool aura for audiolink? i would like to find like to find one to match

[somber meadow]

Explain the issue you're having with fallback shaders instead

[teal iris]

so i made model recently and uploaded it, but for some reason my tracking for fbt does this, where it shows my feet trackers under my model

[balmy barn]

have whatever you dont want to show hidden by default , if you toggle it to hide its wrong (ive seen people with excactly same problem when their animations are off)

[cloud ore]

Albedo and Normals are correctly falling back from Poiyomi Toon. But not Metallic and Emission.

[worldly whale]

how do i do that?

and wouldnt toggling it not work then?

[somber meadow]

Fallback emissions are on emission 0. Make sure you’re using that

Pretty sure masks don’t work however

[cloud ore]

Seems like emission strength in Poiyomi and Standard are used differently. Because in Poyomi it's 0.03 to get and effect I want and in Standart the same look is being given by 0.3. So 0.03 in fallback looks like nothing. And Poyomi doesn't have direct analog of Merallic at all so I use Reflections & Specular to get similar effect.

It's strange that we're not provided with any possibility to manually specify fallback shaders in any way. Could be just some fancy VRC component...

[worldly whale]

how do i make something hidden by default?

[teal iris]

in your parameter look for the one that u wanna have off by default and check the box off

[worldly whale]

but what if its a float?

and already 0

and not saved

[teal iris]

there should be one that says default

i think

[ruby summit]

my avatar is missing his earring when i enter play mode, could someone help me fix it please

this is how i got it

[teal iris]

wait isnt it suposed to be a bool if its a toggle

[somber meadow]

crazy work posting that to the official vrc discord

[worldly whale]

where else wouild i get help from?

[ruby summit]

sorry for the kinda spam but, this

[cloud ore]

Why don't I get a prompt to upload the avi as a fallback? It just uploads as regular avi...

[balmy barn]

upload pc & android av on same blueprint (both must be good rated) fallback option appear on android

[ruby summit]

can someone help me fix the earring of my avatar please, it dissapears when i enter play mode

[cloud ore]

I did that but still not getting any prompts on build for android.

What am I doing wrong??

[desert elk]

my guess would be this

[cloud ore]

No, it's about the previous PC build.

[desert elk]

i wouldn't be surprised if avatars who exceed those limits weren't allowed to be falbacks

ah okay

i never uploaded avatars from the same project, didn't know it does that

[cloud ore]

If I open the build dialog after uploading the quest avi these warnings disappear.

[desert elk]

Does it appear when you close the sdk and open it again? or does it still not allow you?

[cloud ore]

You mean when I close the Unity?

[desert elk]

maybe it just needs a restart

could happen

[cloud ore]

It doesn't help. Quest avi just uploads as usual and no fallback upload prompt appears.

[desert elk]

i see

[compact dust]

hi chat

[cloud ore]

Any thougths? On the video:

1. I build and upload a brand new PC avi having Good rating.
2. Copy ID of the newly created avi
3. Change Unity build settings from PC to Android
4. Set the ID into the Quest avi desctiptor
5. Build and upload the Quest avi having Good rating.
   No prompts for fallback appear.

[desert elk]

i'm uploading a test myself to see if it works for me

huh

for me it worked normally

hmm

the only advice i can give would be to log out and log back into the sdk

or reupload only the quest version

maybe that warning somehow got stuck in it?

and uploading without it could fix it

[compact dust]

:c

hi eli

[desert elk]

hi Michstan

[cloud ore]

Tried reuploading. No changes.

[compact dust]

yippee

[desert elk]

only the quest version?

[cloud ore]

Yes.

[compact dust]

quest issues?

[desert elk]

fallback issues

[compact dust]

ah

[desert elk]

avatar doesn't wanna set itself as fallback

[compact dust]

i dont deal wit fallbacks

idk how they work

[desert elk]

even though it meets requirements

[compact dust]

isnt fallback req the same as quest

[desert elk]

fallback needs to be quest excellent or good

[compact dust]

so a little bit less than max

this model is so not good for my pc
i press undo to move smth and it takes a minute to move it 😔

[desert elk]

ouch

[compact dust]

and then blender freezes.

wowie.

nvm jeff is alive

[desert elk]

how big is that earing?

[compact dust]

storage wise or what

[desert elk]

it has a lot of polygons

you posted stats earlier

i'm asking size wise

[compact dust]

its um..

362 mb

wat the heck

[desert elk]

is it like 10 meters?

it could be its own avatar at this point XD

with those stats

[compact dust]

yeah in blender/unity it is buts not meant to be

for some reason in blender/unity its huge
but 3d printing these models its less than a cm big

smh

[desert elk]

it has a ton of detail it probably doesn't need

if it's an earing

[amber pivot]

would anyone know how to fix this? standard lite gives my avatar weird lighting😭

[somber sequoia]

vertex colors, as usual

[compact dust]

its not that much detail, it wont let me lower the triangles much more

jeff is such a fat shark

[compact dust]

takin up as much storage as he possibly can

[desert elk]

the triangles are wow, crashy

[compact dust]

any edits on jeff makes it buffer for a while 😭

[desert elk]

if that was only an earing in those stats

[desert elk]

no idea what could be happening

[compact dust]

i think the reason its taking so much space is bc its huge

size wise

not my expertise tho

[compact dust]

how the heck did you get exactly 10k triangles

[desert elk]

oh

didn't even catch that xD

that's either very lucky, or fishy

idk

XD

[cloud ore]

Or polytool )

[desert elk]

i never heard of it

[compact dust]

sounds like a nerd tool

[livid sonnet]

so i tried to upload avatar and i followed instructions perfectly but i get this error when uploading

any kind of help is greatly preciated cuz i dont know what im doing at all and just following steps from the modeller

[compact dust]

gogoloco at it again

[desert elk]

did you import gogo loco?

[compact dust]

go to your avatar descriptor and check the idle animations for gogoloco ones

that may be what it is

[desert elk]

and put the preban in the correct place

[desert elk]

no, because they're using vrcfury

those should be empty while using vrcfury

[compact dust]

yeah but i helped someone yesterday who had that

it wouldnt let them upload bc their idle anims were gogoloco anims that didnt exist

smth like that

[livid sonnet]

i suck at verbal instructions, are one of you down to just vc and i just stream it or somethin, totally fine i you dont wanna

[desert elk]

well, if you're using vrcfury to install gogo loco, it does it automatically and you're gonna get errors if the files are there

[desert elk]

are you sure you imported gogoloco files in?

[livid sonnet]

ye

you can look if you wanna

thats why im confused

[desert elk]

i'd check that location to see if the gogo loco files are there

the assets/gogo/goloco/controllers

[livid sonnet]

this what my tabs lookin like

[desert elk]

check the controllers folder if the controllers are there

and if they're named the correct names

[desert elk]

the one before

not heavy_controller

just controllers

are the files there?

[desert elk]

hm that's weird

[livid sonnet]

ive removed the project and refollowed all the steps

[desert elk]

i was just about to suggest that

you beat me to it

[livid sonnet]

ye i done it like twice

still doesnt let me

[desert elk]

no idea what it could be

[livid sonnet]

dam....

[desert elk]

it looks like a vrcfury issue and i don't know much about it

[livid sonnet]

like i said, i can stream myself doing it and i feel i did everything right cuz i just followed the text doc

[desert elk]

it should be alright

that's why i'm lost

[livid sonnet]

@compact dust any ideas

[compact dust]

huh

im playing brawl stars

[desert elk]

XD

[livid sonnet]

lmao

any connections you got that could help?

or which other chat should i try to ask in

[compact dust]

idek what's goin on

[livid sonnet]

the error i got

we dont know why its happening

[compact dust]

wut error

[desert elk]

the vrcfury one

with gogo loco

[compact dust]

oh

just like

[livid sonnet]

☝️

[compact dust]

delete gogo :)

[desert elk]

XD

[compact dust]

idk anything abt gglc cus i no use

[desert elk]

damn

why though

?

it's so handy

[compact dust]

cus fbt

[desert elk]

ahhh

right

[compact dust]

fbt/ovr i dont rlly have a reason to use it

[desert elk]

i see

[stable isle]

heya, so i want to have a spinning ring that can be spun and physically rotate around a chain attached to it. is there a good way to do that?

[compact dust]

ive already tried that

but no clue besides a unity script

unless you make it a rotation animation ofc

[somber sequoia]

you can't use scripts on avatars, so yes, animation

[compact dust]

you'd make an animation that has a rotation transform basically

[stable isle]

i'm looking to make it rotate dynamically with the player's movement, like how you'd physically spin something like that

[compact dust]

could tie it to a gesture

[somber sequoia]

Physbone might work

[compact dust]

yeah physbone magik

[timid kite]

when i look down i see inside of my body (vr) but on desktop its fine. how to fix it? i already moved the eyeball a bit and it made very little difference to the point that i wouldnt move it more bcoz that would cause a whole another issue

[stable isle]

unfortunately the tail doesn't carry the momentum of the chain, just slowly follows the path the rest of the chain was going.

[compact dust]

wut

[stable isle]

so like how you'd spin a chain or something like that around, the centirpetal force of the movement makes the chain straight while spinning

but with physbones, the chain will just sway around, like a snake.

[compact dust]

you can fix it by going to your graphic settings in the menu and scrolling to the bottom, the bottom option should fix it bc it makes it so that things closer to you dont phase out until like 1mm or smth like that

[compact dust]

couple inches, idk

[compact dust]

you'd have to mess around the the pull/momentum/etc settings

or use an angle constraint on only the chain

[timid kite]

its not about things disappearing. its about seeing inside of my body

[stable isle]

angle constraint?

[compact dust]

yeah which would fix that, bc the chest area is disappearing bc its too close

that setting (should) can fix that

fixes it whenever i need to

could also be a height setting thing but idk abt that

[compact dust]

angle, hinge, one of those

you'd have to mess with it tho cus im not sure about making smth spin around a pivot point besides an animation

[stable isle]

how do you also make it fall with gravity in a realistic way?

[compact dust]

gravity setting

dont make it super high tho cus otherwise itll just stay mostly down if thats not what you want

[compact dust]

although you might be able to make a spin animation that's activated by a physbone component change

then it would only activate when a specific minimum is met while the tail physbone is moving

[cloud ore]

It becomes more and more crazy. I deleted everything from the project except this Good Quest avatar. It even writes in the builder that it can be used as Fallback. Aaaaaaand... nothing.

I'm loosing my mind...

[desert elk]

looks like the other avatars being there was somehow messing with it

it can be set as a fallback now so you got it working

here if you didn't see

[cloud ore]

Oooops 🙂
As I've told you. I'm loosing my mind )))

[compact dust]

me too buddy

[lethal mortar]

For a prefab for a character, I'm unable to change out materials since the toggle / default is still the original material. Where do you go to change the VFX to be the new material for existing toggles? Or is it easier/faster to just delete existing toggles and make new ones for material palette switches for clothing/skin/eyes/hair/ect?

[cloud ore]

I'm sooo happy that I highly sure of what I want from my avi and I won't need to go through this crazy 30 hours of DIYing anytime soon.

[cloud ore]

I'm absolutely not an expert but as far as I know it's either several animations and corresponding states in animator layer or one animation with several keyframes controlled by a state parameter in animator. In both cases you have to change corresponding animations.

[hazy sphinx]

im weight painting and this is happening?

[ruby summit]

idk why my physbones suddenly dont work

[desert elk]

if it's on quest and you have more than 8 components all of them will be deleted

[somber sequoia]

can't really tell what is going on here, can you explain?

[hazy sphinx]

i rotated the arm and the body rotated as well

[hollow stirrup]

Just wondering, any advice on importing R6 models as avatars?
I have the model imported from Roblox Studio, but currently unsure on what to do next.
((NOT looking for comms just how to do it myself lol))

[somber sequoia]

is the body weight painted to rotate with the arm?

[hazy sphinx]

no

[ruby summit]

pc

[hollow stirrup]

I also have the IDs of all the items but I'm unsure if I can export them seperately

probably can tho

[somber sequoia]

sure looks like it...

[desert elk]

you will need to add an armature and rig it

[ruby summit]

idk why because they worked before

[hollow stirrup]

ahh ok

would it be better if I exported all the parts seperately then parented them after rigging the base model?

[hazy sphinx]

i really dont know what im doing

[desert elk]

everything needs to be rigged (base and clothes and hair). It's your choice if you do it separately or all together

[hollow stirrup]

considering it's all combined into one model rn it'd probably be best to avoid deformation

not sure if that's entirely necesary tho

[hazy sphinx]

would someone willingly weight paint my avatar?

[somber sequoia]

surely you don't mean for free, in which case the VRC Traders discord is a good place to commission people

[still shuttle]

I've made a shit ton of roblox avis into vrc avis. It always made it easier to rig stuff if I seperated everything first

[wooden nova]

is there a way to make emissions when the intensity increased not emit light that's blinding I tried global illumination changing it to none and it did nothing

or would i have to make the texture

[hollow stirrup]

ah alr

p sure all I need to do is rig/weight the character and all the accessories right?
then put it into unity and all that stuff

[pine valley]

I'm having a very weird shader problem on an avatar project that I received from a friend.

Every shader is rendering correctly in my left eye, but it's rendering totally wrong in the right eye

[still shuttle]

Pretty much yeah

[pine valley]

It kind of looks like both eyes are rendering the exact same perspective, except the right eye's image is offset quite a bit to the right

[hollow stirrup]

okkk thank u!!

[pine valley]

I feel like the shaders aren't being compiled for XR properly

it happens to everything, including the Standard shader

[hollow stirrup]

i might come back here later on bcz idk anything abt what i'm doing lmao this is kinda my first time making anything for this game haha

[still shuttle]

Bet bet hope you have fun! Good luck!

[still shuttle]

That's interesting I've never had this problem in the 3 yrs I've made avatars

[pine valley]

Ah, hang on, I might be onto something

I got an error about an unsigned .dylib when first opening the project. I think macOS was upset about me downloading random assemblies from Discord

I removed it and then used the vpm to add the avatars and base packages again

But I don't think that actually did anything! I removed the packages completely and re-added them

oh, yep

find Packages -name '*.dylib'
Packages/com.vrchat.base/Editor/VRCSDK/ShaderCompilerPlugin/Plugins/MacOS/arm64/libvrc_shader_compiler_plugin.dylib
Packages/com.vrchat.base/Editor/VRCSDK/ShaderCompilerPlugin/Plugins/MacOS/x86_64/libvrc_shader_compiler_plugin.dylib

The first one wasn't there before I did this

that's gotta be it

it's also spending a while compiling shaders now, even though I'd just run a build

[still shuttle]

What shader are you using?

[pine valley]

Poiyomi Toon, mostly, but it was borked on Standard too

and it's fixed now!

Without the library being present, I don't think Unity actually knew it needed to compile XR-compatible shaders

[livid sonnet]

anyone new here trying to help me with an error issue

for gogo loco

[pure ermine]

hello! i am needing help with an avatar that i am making atm in unity. i want the the avatar to have 2 different viseme blend shapes work at the same time for lip-syncing. one is for the face and another is for the mask (which is a 3d mesh in a 2d style). if anyone knows how to do this, it would mean a lot to me, as i look all over for this and nothing was being specific enough for me to understand-

[still shuttle]

To do this, I would make the mask apart of the body mesh and have it work on the desired blend shape

To make the mask a toggle, make a new blend shape and shrink the mask down as small as you can into the head

If you make the blendshape on the mask before joining it but name it the exact same as the one you want it to work with on the body, it should merge blendshapes for it easy when you join the two meshes, making them work at the same time

There might be some way to do this with vrcfury but I'm not sure

[compact dust]

it gone

[lapis terrace]

when i go into fbt, my view is in my neck but fine in half body. i set the avi and my user height to my real height. idk what to do.

[compact dust]

is it an avi you own

[lapis terrace]

yes

[compact dust]

can open in unity is what i meant

hrm

[lapis terrace]

yes

[compact dust]

what fbt are you using

[lapis terrace]

vive

[shell minnow]

Hey, I uploaded an avatar recently and noticed that when turning on the avatar overlay the hitbox for interacting with others avatars or whatever is extremely large. I don't know what the actual term for this part is and I cant figure out how to fix it, if anyone could help that would be amazing! (had to take a screenshot of the camera bc it wouldnt show up when taking a photo)

[compact dust]

ah

[lapis terrace]

2.0 trackers

[compact dust]

i cant help cus idk how to troubleshoot vive

[lapis terrace]

ah

[compact dust]

it could just be a tracker thing and not the avi

[rocky flare]

ok so i've been having this problem since yesterday, I just can't upload anything

I did this with another avatar and it didn't upload. I tried looking up solutions, but none seemed to work
The blueprint ID is empty and my internet is fine, I really don't understand why it craps itself at the end of uploading

[dry flicker]

anyone have any videos on lattice modifiers?

for blender

[ruby summit]

can someone help me fix this jacket issue?

it should look more like this

[lapis terrace]

there are some parameters that do not exist that are trying to be used

delete those from the controller

thats a start

[rocky flare]

Ill try

[lapis terrace]

good luck!

[rocky flare]

didnt work

these are now the only two errors

[reef cove]

I'm sure this error is common. What causes it and how does one fix it?

[compact dust]

cause: objects trying to use a script that doesnt exist

i think the fix is removing wtv is trying to use the missing script

if im right, you just click the prefab and then delete the missing script part

[reef cove]

Huh, I got the ordering of the errors wrong.
You're right, it's filled with "missing script". That's weird, I just bought it and there's nothing about that in the readme. Could be avatardynamics, but it's weird if that broke. Unless it's avatardynamics from a different SDK version?

I mean phys bone

[compact dust]

or the versions are different from what you are using and what the avatar was built with

physbone wise

[reef cove]

Hmm, it has phys bone with the right settings. I have no idea what those scripts are

Each finger and bone joint had a script except the end bone, so I had to select and delete one by one... But now the problem is fixed.
Thanks for helping me out!

[bold obsidian]

Question: will this show up in-game?

[compact dust]

the border?

no

thats just so you know what you're selecting (if thats wym)

[bold obsidian]

Yeah I thought that too

Asked for a friend to be clear

[dull sable]

Yes and i have the model as one mesh render BUT it is called body

[somber sequoia]

iirc it should be called Body

so.... not sure what the issue is?

[somber meadow]

You're just seeing a bounding box of where the game will stop rendering the selected mesh if it goes outside the camera

[bronze bane]

in unity my shaders show up as normal but when im in vrchat they show up as pink im using standard lite

[somber meadow]

what operating system are you using Unity on? (Windows, MacOS, or Linux)

[bold obsidian]

Can you put that in fortnite terms?

Pretty please 🙏🏻

[compact dust]

pew pew

[bronze bane]

windows

[ruby summit]

okay im back can someone help me out with this? his shoulders shouldnt be that sunken inside the body

[ruby summit]

[tulip pasture]

anyone got insight why a properly animated blendshape on an animation would do absolutely nothing???

im tryna shrink stuff so it dont clip, i made the blendshapes, keyframed it, tested it in unity, ingame it doesnt work

[dreamy geode]

Last weekend I was trying to figure out how to customize a VRChat avatar, and I made headway in some areas (e.g. managed to retexture and upload just fine) but one thing I got stuck on was I couldn't figure out how to have the PC-optimized and Quest-optimized models in the same project, then upload the two as one avatar - I'd always either get a 48k tri model PC and 48k tri model Quest upload, or a 13k PC and 13k Quest upload, never 48k and 13k.

Also, if I add toggles to the PC scene (which are both PC and Quest compatible), will they automatically translate to Quest? Or do the two scenes need to be set up manually

[somber meadow]

How'd you test it in Unity

also what are you animating the Blendshape value to?

[somber sequoia]

they are two avatars with the same Blueprint ID, unless you're using the beta SDK, you upload them separately. They can coexist just fine in the same project, and that's usually good - you can use the same avatar parameters list and not have to worry about that being out of sync

You basically select which to upload at the top of the build window

(or just have only one enabled at a time)

[ruby summit]

kazin save me after him please 😭

[pure ermine]

sorry for the late response, is it okay if i dm you about this as well?

[ruby summit]

ive been waiting a while

[dreamy geode]

So what I was doing was I had the unity package of both in the project at the same time, and what I was attempting to do with them was

• select the PC scene
• set up the build window to target PC
• upload
• select Quest scene
• set up the build window to target Android
• upload

But either I misunderstood how to do that in the tutorial, or I was missing a step, or something, because it kept doing what i described above

[tulip pasture]

value of 100, and i tested it with the animation

[somber meadow]

you need to assign them with the same blueprint id in the pipeline manager after uploading the first build. You can get the ID from the content manager

[somber meadow]

Are you using Gesture Manager?

[tulip pasture]

no

[somber meadow]

You'll need to if you want to properly debug an avatar within Unity

You most likely have something else in the FX layer that's animating that blendshape

[somber sequoia]

(or AV3 Emulator)

[dreamy geode]

So this might be overcomplicating it, but I would mostly know how to do it at least - would it be possible to have one project with the PC-optimized avatar, one project with the Quest-optimized avatar, and then upload them to the same avatar online?

[somber meadow]

yes

[somber sequoia]

If you post a pic of your armature maybe something's obvious, but otherwise without seeing how it moves, no idea

[somber meadow]

it doesn't need to be the same project, it just needs the same blueprint ID assigned in the pipeline manager component that's under the avatar descriptor

[dreamy geode]

Alright I'll see if I can figure out how to do that

Thanks :)

[ruby summit]

wait ur right

the generic-humanoid thing always stressing me

lets test now

[tulip pasture]

i quadrupple checked, theres nothin, im gonna delete my toggles in fx and make them with vrcfury and see if that works, if it doesnt only thing i can think of is the blendshapes themselves are like currupted

[ruby summit]

nah its still wrong

checkin the rig. the chest was missing

[tulip pasture]

or blendshape optimizer is baking them into the mesh even though their animated

[somber meadow]

VRCFury's blendshape optimizer won't bake if the animations are properly working

[somber sequoia]

Turn off all animation layers except the one you're working with and test in play mode to confirm that works

(via the weight parameter)

[ruby summit]

i wanna cry it still sunkens

[tepid sage]

When I’m in blender the model with textures when in the render option are pretty transparent which ruins the lighting. Anyone know how to fix?

[somber meadow]

Remove whatever's driving the alpha socket of your main shader node

or set the alpha to 1 if it's not attached to anything

[tepid sage]

Can you explain how to do this? (I’m a new blender user)

[somber meadow]

What blender verison are you using

[tepid sage]

2.93.0

[somber meadow]

Is there a specific reason why it's that low? I'm guessing the outdated CATS plugin?

[tepid sage]

yep

[somber meadow]

There's a project that keeps CATS in more up to date Blender versions, which I would highly recommend instead

https://catsblenderplugin.xyz/

[tepid sage]

so what version would you recommend to use right now?

[somber meadow]

If you want a stable less "buggy" version that'll be supported for a while, use the 4.2 LTS

or you can do 4.3

[somber sequoia]

you'll need legs, but I was hoping for a look at it in Blender

[ruby summit]

oh lemme open it rq

[tepid sage]

kk ty!!

[ruby summit]

the model came without so im cooked i guess

[somber sequoia]

without what?

oh, legs?

[ruby summit]

wait it has legs

[somber sequoia]

Can you show only the body in wireframe mode with the armature visible?

ideally directly from the front

this looks reasonable though

[ruby summit]

the model's body or the jacket

[somber sequoia]

oh - I guess I don't know, which is the thing that isn't correct, just the jacket, or the body too?

[ruby summit]

the jacket

[somber sequoia]

oh then probably the issue is weight painting

[ruby summit]

the shoulders are way too low to where they should be

[ruby summit]

i dont think so since it only gliches in play mode and it moves normally outside there

[somber sequoia]

okay

[ruby summit]

okay im gonna try filling all the armature parts that look as a must

like legs and head

nope still the same

[ruby summit]

okay think i realized where is the problem

the shoulder bone of the avatar is smaller and down the jacket one, so when i do the armature link, it shrinks down (like the left shoulder i made manually as example)

[somber sequoia]

ahhh, that's why

IMO use one armature here, if you already have it in Blender just swap the jacket to use the avatar's armature. Which will be some work since one is A-pose and the other is T-pose.

[ruby summit]

yeah thats what i was doing with an addon i found that transfers influences

but ill do it tmr since its 3:43am lol

[somber sequoia]

yeah not time to start new projects

[atomic pecan]

Hellooooooo, sorry to ask such a basic question but would anyone be able to put me in the right direction to get this nose ring to have a function physbone? (and also having that physbone be constrained to a specific axis?) I've tried using youtube and the documentation for VCC/VRCF but I want able to get anything going with it. Any and all help appreciated. I made sure when I modelled the ring it does have a bone, and it is correctly rigged and all that. New to using unity so again, sorry to ask something so basic

[compact dust]

set the limit type to angle

change the yaw, pitch, wtv the third one is, until you get your desired angle

[hasty siren]

Trying to upload an avatar and its telling me that i do not have a pipeline manager - but i do. however there is another error that says it will automatically remove it. autofixing does nothing, and theres no blueprint id to detatch. this is the only thing stopping me and ive spent hours troubleshooting

[atomic pecan]

ty ty

[compact dust]

do you have the right avi selected (idrk)

[hasty siren]

yea

everything is (theoretically) set up correctly but its contradicting itself for no reason

[somber meadow]

What Unity version are you using on this project

and what SDK version is being used

[compact dust]

2022

it says it on the 3rd

[hasty siren]

^

sdk is 3.7.5

latest version

[somber meadow]

Have you already tried clicking the "Reinstall all packages" button in the project on VCC

[hasty siren]

no ill try that now

ok now auto fix button literally does nothing and wont allow me to even attempt building

[hasty siren]

got past it - same error. "this avatar does not have a pipeline manager" while it does

[stray trench]

hey guys, would it be possible to have a toggle between a high heeled version of an avatar, and a flat footed version?

[compact dust]

yeah

[stray trench]

im assembling the avatar in blender currently and not sure how to approach this

[compact dust]

the toggle would switch off the heeled, switch on the flat

and the other way around

or you can do it using blendshapes

[stray trench]

what if the avatar doesnt have blendshapes for that?

[compact dust]

then you'd make them

i think the blendshape one would use less storage too

[stray trench]

how would i make them?

[compact dust]

i assume you would just highlight the feet vertices and rotate them to the desired heel angle

and make it into a blendshape

[stray trench]

wouldnt that just distort the foot? if im understanding you right

[compact dust]

idk
im not blender pro

the only thing i know how to do is bones, and i barely do that

[stray trench]

is anyone with blender knowledge able to help me?

[compact dust]

are you gonna try just rotating the foot before ignoring my advice (if you havent)

🥺

[stray trench]

i did but it doesnt really work that way if im understanding your advice properly

[compact dust]

did you highlight all of them?

not just the heel

you'd also have to move the bone to accomodate

[stray trench]

yes i did, i dont think its a practical solution for what im trying to do

[compact dust]

i mean if you're making it heeled to use a shoe

then it doesnt really matter what the foot looks like

just as long as its not clipping

[stray trench]

its more about the height changing, and i dont know what kind of shoes the person who wants this avatar will use, they could have the foot exposed

[acoustic folio]

Question, if I buy off an avatar online can I go through a process of uploading it on my macbook? If not, is there a way someone can upload it for me? I dont know how this shyit works man 😭🤟

[arctic ginkgo]

btw it's more performant to export the fbx without leaf bones and instead use an endpoint in the physbone component. Functionally this is identical, but this will remove a physbone affected transform and bone from your performance ranking statistics. This can be especially important on quest where there is a limit of 64 physbone affected transforms)

[nova briar]

i dont know what to do, i cant upload avatars anymore it always stops on 4%

[somber meadow]

Is there any errors in the console

[nova briar]

no errors

and it happens with every avatar not just one

each avatar is a different % but the same everytime i try to upload it

just updating the image uploads it just fine

[proper storm]

Can someone who knows better give me a rundown, when animating objects, do I animate the object directly, or do I click my my avatar in the hierarchy and record from that instead?

Ive had issues where if I record from the object, and then put the animations in my FX, it does not work

But if I animate from the avatar, and put the animations in the FX, it works

Maybe im not getting it right?

Maybe explaining it like this is also better? If I put a animation on a object that uses a contact receiver to make a sound, despite it being a object (not directly part of the avatar), I use the FX animator controller for the avatar and not make a new controller for the object im animating.

[compact dust]

is it under the avi in the heirarchy?

[proper storm]

Well, its in the hierarchy of the avi, but no in the armature ofc since im using vrcfury and modular avatar

As shown here

[compact dust]

the armature shouldnt matter for an animation, could be wrong

[proper storm]

Oh okay, just wondering though yeah, this animation is for an object, but im using the FX controller in the avatar to control it

shown here

I dont know if thats the right way or not

[compact dust]

so are you making an animation that plays a sound and animation when activated by a contact?

[proper storm]

Yes

It works, but I dont know if I should be storing that animation in here:

the FX

[compact dust]

wut does the fx do again

[proper storm]

its for the geastures, I think

tho... the Gesture one ALSO has this

so idk the difference

[compact dust]

neither do i :D

[proper storm]

Good! We are already on the same page

ahahahah

[compact dust]

if its a contact "toggle" then it should be fine, i dont think it needs to be in there

you could just make the contact into a toggle so that you can turn it off or on, ifykwim

[proper storm]

Yeah

I think I could do that with vrcfury, there is a global parameter option

Im trying to think if I could do it driven parameters, ie, making a random float when a contact is sent

but idk how

im new to this but im already doing stupid crazy shit that is probably too far out of my scope

[compact dust]

animations are confusing smt

[proper storm]

Ive already seen lol

I dont know how THE FUCK people made avatars and crazy toggles with the stock animator without vrcfury

[compact dust]

bc they actually knew what they were doing 😔

[proper storm]

😔

[compact dust]

i still barely understand the animator

makes brain go whehae

[proper storm]

this was the most I bothers doing with the animator and it already took a few hours to figure out why it wasnt working

(it was unity jank making it not work)

[compact dust]

real

[delicate tide]

How come whenever I add a vrc avatar descriptor for this model, it isn't adding the playable layers for Additive and Gesture? And how do I add them? Because the other model in my unity package has them, but not this one

[compact dust]

dont know why its not adding them, but i believe vrc would set it to default if thats fine

[delicate tide]

I have gogo lock controllers for those slots and I want to use them, but its not letting me

[compact dust]

not sure

[torpid cliff]

My left hand mirrors my right in game for gestures only.

[delicate tide]

Oh also, I tried to make a new animator controller for my new model, but the FBX does not have this thing in it:

It has it on the old one, but not the new one

[bright silo]

model isn't being read as humanoid

[delicate tide]

oh ok so how do I fix that?

[bright silo]

select the fbx in your unity project. In the inspector, change to the Rig tab and set the Animation type to Humanoid. You might need to Configure it afterwards; adding chest bone, removing jaw bone

[delicate tide]

Oh I don't have a jaw bone on this model, but thank you!

[bright silo]

Same, but sometimes it tries to fill that in for you by adding ear or hair bones from the head

[dreamy geode]

Is there a way I can paint directly on the model itself, or identify where on the model a part of the texture will go when it's not visually obvious? I'm trying to recolor particular hair tufts by guessing and checking right now and I am certain there's gotta be a better way

[nova briar]

i enabled api logging and saw these errors

[compact dust]

blender texture painting probably

[boreal sedge]

hey ive run into an issue with my avatar where when im in vr on my headset my avatars head looks up a little bit when im looking foward. i was wondering if anyone knows a fix for that?

[compact dust]

might be the eye view is messed up, smth is rotated, etc

i doubt its the eye view

[boreal sedge]

ive tried to adjust the eyeview however it doesnt fix the avatar looking up

ive also tried rotating the head to look down in unity but it still corrects it to look up again

[main shuttle]

same issue here, if you find an easy fix lmk pls

[proper storm]

How do physbones act? im trying to make this base of the cone static, it is in blender but not unity

probably missing something simple

[torpid cliff]

Ima try to take the proxy animations from another avatar and see if that works. Try restarting pc tho

[proper storm]

[night ember]

Physbones simply rotate the bone

[proper storm]

Are there bounds you can make that doesnt affect certain areas of the fbx?

[night ember]

Weight painting

[proper storm]

I have a slight idea what im doing but still kind of clueless so sorry if im not understanding you correctly lol

[night ember]

Physbones dont mess with the mesh at all

[proper storm]

Ah, should I manually paint the weights on just the top area but not bottom?

[night ember]

They only cause the bone to rotate which so happens to usually make the mesh move

[night ember]

Paint it to the bone you plan to physbone

[delicate tide]

Ok so I'm trying to add an emote to my gogoloco and it's only playing the first few frames before stopping. I've tried everything but I cannot get the full emote to play at all, but the other two work just fine with the exact same settings :(

[cloud ore]

Hello. JFYI I found a way to manually specify each and every fallback shader parameter but the process is a bit tricky.

1. Download standard shaders as described here: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/StandardShaderMakeYourOwn.html
2. Open Standard.shader file in text editor.
3. Look at "Properties" section in the file and copy those lines that correspond to parameters that you want to specify for a fallback shader.
4. Paste copied lines to the very end of Parameters section into file of a custom shader you use.
5. The parameters will be shown in Unity shader parameters menu. Specify them to your taste and their values will fallback into standard VRC shader.

Some warnings: there's significant chance that your custom shader has some of these parameters already declared in it's Parameters section. There're two possible cases:

1. You don't use this parameters in the custom shader and they're being excluded on locking the shader (you can check that by locking the shader and then opening generated shader file in text editor). Then everything is ok, the 5 steps above is all you need.
2. You use some of these parameters. If so then these parameters will fallback into Standard shader as is and if you OK with their values for the Standard shader then no further actions required. But if you want different values for these parameters to be specified for the custom and standard fallback shader then the only valid option is to manually rename these parameters in the custom shader and also replace all of usages of the parameters in the shader code. It not as hard as it sounds, just use a lot of searches in the custom shader file and keep your brain active. After renaming the parameters you can use the 5 steps above to specify fallback shader parameters value.

I've just tested it with poiyomi toon shader to provide fallback shader with Metallic texture and specify Smoothness. Works like a charm.

[timid terrace]

You don't have the rig setup as humanoid

[proper storm]

Okay, I just isolated the first bone and then added a physbone component to the second bone

it worked

now the first bone isnt affected by anything and is separate

Floppycone.........

[warm bolt]

I notice since last month suddenly everytime Im in the default world my feet looks like that, it is a Bug? because in other worlds it is fine..

[still shuttle]

Sure!

[frail temple]

I got the files for a VrChat avatar, but when i open the project in Unity 2019 through VRChat creator companion, i can't find a VRchat SDK Tab to upload it

[still shuttle]

I belive we've updated to unity 2022

[cloud ore]

Does anybody know where can I find VRchat standard shaders? PC ones.

I mean shader files.

[still shuttle]

Standard shaders come with the vrcsdk

If you're looking for shaders that make your avatar look pretty, most commonly used are poiomi toon or lil toon shaders, and you can find those with a quick Google search of their name!

[cloud ore]

SDK ones. Do you know where are they stored?

[still shuttle]

You can make a material that goes onto your avatar to access them, typically when making a material, it will be the standard shader by default

[cloud ore]

I need the file itself. I'm modifying poiyomi shader to specify fallback parameters

[frail temple]

So what do I do? Should I install the specific sdk for this avatar or just upgrade the avatar to the latest vrc?

[still shuttle]

If you make a material, there should be a way to select the shader it's using and it should bring you to what I assume is the file for it

[still shuttle]

Check the store page of the avatar you purchased and see what unity version it uses. If it uses 2022, you need to upgrade your unity via your vrchat creator companion to unity 2022. You may be able to update the project itself aswell afterwards, but it might break it! I find making a new project is better

[frail temple]

It uses Unity 2019, I downloaded unity 2019 but when I open the project, it doesn't have the Vrchat SDK tab

[still shuttle]

Are you using the vrchat creator companion?

[frail temple]

Yes

[still shuttle]

Did the avatar have the SDK in the package with it?

[frail temple]

Yes

[still shuttle]

That might be ur issue

[frail temple]

It has it in the Assets folder

[still shuttle]

You can't import 2 sdks ontop of each other it will break

[frail temple]

I removed the SDK folder however in hopes of it being fixed, no change

[still shuttle]

You may have to remake the project

And be sure before importing the avatar, you can see the vrcsdk and everything to make sure it's not a unity issue

And when you import the avatar, uncheck the vrcsdk before importing

[mental estuary]

You should always be using 2022 even if an avatar specifies 2019. We use 2022

[frail temple]

Can it work with SDK 2.0 avatars?

[left gull]

i dont even think you can create 2.0 avatars anymore, its pretty easy to convert older avatars to newer stuff atleast though

[cloud ore]

But the only shaders I see in VRChat category are Mobile ones

[mental estuary]

The standard shaders are part of Unity

[amber pivot]

would anyone know how to fix my little problem??
my friend gave some animations to use, i also got my own animations so i can have them as emotes
but I put them in the copied over action layer but it doesnt work :(
does it just stop at 8? do i need to make another layer in the action fx to fix this??

[ornate stump]

Also check the transition condition that into PrepareStanding state.

[amber pivot]

😢 it seems normal as far as i know

[ornate stump]

You're looking at the state, not the transition that's getting into that state.

[amber pivot]

ohh

OHH
i got it

i think

[amber pivot]

thank you!!! it works now!!!!

[amber pivot]

also does anyone know how to fix this pausing issue as well? I want my avatar to do the emote when pressed and not wait

[nova briar]

i dont know what to do, i cant upload avatars anymore it always stops on 4%

here are the api errors

[left gull]

I could be wrong but you might need to cycle your router

[nova briar]

the thing is, i already did that multiple times

[white hare]

Hi, I hope you could help me. This is my first avatar I’m working on for months. I’ve never done something like this before. So I have no VR headset and use PC, every time I grab an object her hand goes to her face and I have no idea how to fix it. (But she is still „holding“ the object) I checked Blender the bones are parented and named right, I even replaced them a few times but it’s still the same. Dance animations work well, it just happens when I grab something. Any idea what it could be? Is there a way to adjust it in unity?

[atomic pecan]

I’m confused as to what specifically you mean by leaf bone? Is that just a normal armature object in blender?
Basically saying to not use a bone in the fbx and just have the entire mesh attached to a physbone component in unity?

I guess I’m a bit confused

[somber sequoia]

leaf bones are bones added to the end of normal bone chains to signify the end of their parent, they're not really needed in vrchat except can be useful for physbones in some cases

[amber pivot]

i got the pausing to stop
the only left i need help is how would i make the emote speed go back to 25% whenever i exit the radial puppet?

[ruby summit]

could someone help me fix this audiolink? my idea was the soundwaves flowing from the back to the arms

lemme send the material

[somber sequoia]

probably you want pathing if you want it to flow

[ruby summit]

pathing?

[proud yacht]

guys im a little stupid .. how exactly do u like paint edit textures in blender

[ruby summit]

on the top part of the menu (my blender is in spanish but i guess you can find it easy)

[proud yacht]

thank you

[ruby summit]

Pintar texturas

[ruby summit]

do u have any tutorial or something?

[somber sequoia]

I don't, but the documentation is decent, it explains how to use gradients to map out the flow

[ruby summit]

where can i find it then?

[somber sequoia]

... poiyomi.com?

[ruby summit]

ohh okay

[proud yacht]

moar questions.. can i dm you .. the video i used to showcase is kinda weird cus it has some nsfw stuff in it but nothing too bad

[ruby summit]

sure but idk if i will be able to help too much, im not that good

[proud yacht]

its probably something stupidly simple

[pastel nest]

i am trying to build somethign akin to a grenade and i want to throw this object so i am thinking i should do this with a particle that spawns with the mesh when i let it go and give it gravity but how do i give it the velocity of my hand?

[somber sequoia]

could use the VRLabs throwable thingy

[pastel nest]

where do i get that?

but also i was trying to just build everything myself to learn

i assume this is the one you are talking about? https://github.com/VRLabs/Rigidbody-Throw

[somber sequoia]

yep, that one

[boreal oxide]

I am a trusted user and it says im not allowed to publish avatars!?

[somber sequoia]

are you using a steam or quest account?

[boreal oxide]

STEAM

[desert elk]

it needs to be vrc

[somber sequoia]

yeah don't - convert it.

[boreal oxide]

whoops caps

[desert elk]

offial vrc account

[boreal oxide]

oh thanks

[stiff fable]

hey would anyone know how disable avatar animations that is automatically done when adding an animator, i cant remove it or my avatar is considered null (like walk animations and all other stuff)

[boreal oxide]

i do have an offcial vrchat account

[desert elk]

are you logging into the correct one in the sdk?

[boreal oxide]

yes

[desert elk]

are you getting any other errors while uploading?

[boreal oxide]

no

[desert elk]

Idk what it could be. If you have a VRC account with New User or higher rank, you should be able to upload.

[boreal oxide]

huh weird

proof

[desert elk]

that's visitor

and your safety settings

your rank

safety settings that affect other players with those trust ranks

[boreal oxide]

im stupid

[desert elk]

it's okay, happens to the best of us

you need to play more and ger new user or higher

the game should automatically send you a message saying that you're allowed to upload content now

[arctic ginkgo]

leaf bone is the one called "Bone_end". It's not there in blender, it's put there by your export settings

you have 2 bones: "Bone" and "Bone_end"

you only need the first one, just disable "add leaf bones" in the armature section of the FBX export settings before exporting

[solemn hound]

I have a problems with blendshape any can help me 😢

[desert elk]

what kind of problem?

[wild basin]

i cant switch my avi to be pc and quest. any help?

[autumn rover]

im trying to play the scene but every time it stops at "importing assets". i havent had this issue before. so far ive tried closing unity and vrcc with taskmanger, and restarting my pc aswell as trying to open other projects and then going back to this one

[eager geode]

hi erm i have no idea whats happened here any ideas??

[desert elk]

try enforcing tpose

[cosmic valley]

tryna do face but material does this

[ruby summit]

sorry for the ping but how does the addon work? its on chinese and the page didnt helped too much

or does anyone else know how to import mmd motions to make them animations?

im using a blender addon rn but it doesnt save position so my avatar is in the middle and doesnt walk around

[azure crown]

Hey so. I can't see the viewpoint at all on my avatar?
I was making an avatar and I got to the edit viewpoint but it didn't show? I checked an older avatar that worked and the viewpoint isn't there? I tried reimporting it all and reloaded the sdk

[kind heath]

Unity is throwing this error when my friend tries to build their avatar, anybody know what's causing this?

[junior void]

The popup is useless but int != bool makes sense

[kind heath]

I'm guessing it's some issue with the Animator?

[junior void]

Yes, a parameter defined is set bool somewhere and int somewhere else. Int is a number while bool is true/false

[kind heath]

Time to go through all the toggles D: Thank you! <3

[trim tiger]

do physbones changed through animations just

not update

i've got a physbone that changes its properties based on an animation

but whenever the animation plays the physbone locks in place

and in play mode with the gesture manager, it only updates once i click on any of the physbone settings, causing it to update

[delicate tide]

Bump for those who haven't seen, I'm STILL having this issue

Here's what all my animation / controller settings look like in case something here is wrong, but I just can't see why it isn't working for this one, yet it works for the other animations. Maybe the animation itself is bugged? I don't think so, but it could be a possibility

[proper storm]

Are there easy ways to add textures to backfaces of fbxs? (not going to into blender)

[desert elk]

pick a shader that can have backface culling set to off

the quest shaders don't

[proper storm]

I have poiyomi

[desert elk]

so it's only a pc solution

[proper storm]

This avi is already like 150k polys and a bajillion physbones, no way I want to try and optimize for quest

lol

[desert elk]

quest can't use poiyomi anyways

[proper storm]

but thanks for the answer

[junior void]

Poi has backface option

[desert elk]

so either the hood will be invisible on quest, or you'll need to use blender

[balmy barn]

blender , fill and just move it back behind head

[proper storm]

Its not for quest, this is a PC only avi, lol

[desert elk]

ahhh

"no way i want to try"

i misread

oops

[proper storm]

Yeah, all good

[desert elk]

but yeah, poiyomi has a backface option

[autumn rover]

so ive tried making new projects and tried deleting parts of the project to trouble shoot. atm i think its either my vrcc being fucked so any new projects i make doesnt work, because older projects are still able to go into play mode or that its the unity package for the avatar that is broken, but im not even sure how that would be the case since ive tried deleting parts of it till all that was left was the base body and armeture, aswell as removing connected parameters and menus incase that was somehow the issue

[proper storm]

okay yeah I fixed it, you meant to say, turn culling off

thanks tho

[desert elk]

for my shader is says "Cull Mode:" and you pick what you want. So i just say set culling to off, cause that's what my shader says xD

[proper storm]

Can you have more than one exclusive tag with vrcfury?

[delicate tide]

Update, but I found these errors, and maybe that might be why my emotes are not working... But I turned write defaults off on ALL my emotes and it's still showing up...

Or should I have them all turned on?

[somber sequoia]

ideally make that decision globally, but you have to do quite different things depending on whether that's on or off, so be sure you know which you want.

[trim tiger]

hey kazin, any clue on how i can make physbones actually respond to property changes via animation?

[somber sequoia]

disable the component, then make changes

[trim tiger]

so if i wanted a physbone that adjusted on a radialpuppet, what would i do

add a button to quickly disable and re-enable the physbones for a sec?

[somber sequoia]

sure, that could work

[trim tiger]

any ways that don't require an additional input?

[somber sequoia]

deal with it in your animations, or animation layer

[somber meadow]

don't radial menus have another parameter they can control whilst the radial is open

[trim tiger]

oh yeah

i could probably use that to disable the physbone while it's open couldn't i?

[delicate tide]

Yeah it's still giving me this issue, I'm thinking about just scrapping this animation altogether

[somber sequoia]

sure, that's definitely a way

[trim tiger]

is that fucking charles entertainment cheese

[proper storm]

yes, you mean like a blendshape?

[delicate tide]

Don't judge but yes

[trim tiger]

what exactly is the issue here

[delicate tide]

I'm trying to make Charles Entertainment Cheese III crip walk

I'm trying to add the animation to gogoloco and it's only playing the first few frames

[trim tiger]

tracking control

[delicate tide]

I have it set to the same settings (basically) as the gmod dance and the family guy death pose

[trim tiger]

any walking animation's gonna get disabled

by the foot tracking

as soon as you move even an inch

(once it's in gogoloco)

[delicate tide]

I'm not though

And it's not a walk, it's a dance

[trim tiger]

wait

then why add it to gogo loco

wait a minute

[trim tiger]

is your toggle set as a button.

[delicate tide]

no

[trim tiger]

h u h .

and you're not disabling it yourself?

[delicate tide]

nope

[trim tiger]

there must be something turning off the parameter for your toggle considering the menu updates to off

[raven lodge]

how do i get my unity to keep me signed in so i dont have to keep signing in into my projects

[delicate tide]

And here's the settings for the gmod dance to compare

[desert elk]

1. have one project you make all of your avis in
2. have a starter project where you're logged in and copy the whole folder when you're making a new avi

[delicate tide]

It could be that or maybe it's something messing up with the animation loop? I tried with both looping turned on and off and they both still have the same issue of where the animation starts, then immediately ends less than a second later

[trim tiger]

the fact that the toggle itself is being turned off means it's the parameter

[gloomy flint]

OK yall im genuinely wondering about this issue-

how come if I MANUALLY convert a material to say. VRChat/Mobile/Etc, the colors will just go wack.. Like say a black texture suddenly turns yellow?

but if I use VRCQuestTools right to convert it then, the colors come out fine

ive had this happen several times with multiple avatars

where manually changing a material just fucks it up royally and there isnt even a rhyme or reason like the TEXTURE wouldnt even be yellow for context

its a black texture on a material that doesnt change its color type deal

[balmy barn]

remove vertex colors if your mesh(es) have them | questtools probably remove them for you

(never used it)

[somber sequoia]

yeah if it's unexpected black texture that's often it

[gloomy flint]

no kazin its black texture turns random ass color 😭 but i see i think it is vertex colors thats abysmal,,

[somber sequoia]

oh I see

[gloomy flint]

cursed to deal with vertex colors, born to convert

[somber sequoia]

I wonder how much time I've spent today waiting for Unity to compile shaders.

[gloomy flint]

mood

[balmy barn]

when i switched from poi 7 to 8 , unlocked every one to avoid old files (1500+ materials) , then change the shading on every one - then lock it again with 8 , took awhile

[delicate tide]

Here are my parameters btw

[astral atlas]

Anyone have a nice lip gloss matcap or glitter setting?

[delicate tide]

Alright so I replaced the toggle with a different value for VRCEmote to test another animation, and it worked flawlessly. So it's not the toggle that's broken, but maybe the animation itself?

Which kinda makes me realize: There's not a lot of public crip walk animations for unity...

I was only able to find one, and it's not even working with my setup

[delicate tide]

I've tried with write defaults true and false, I've tried removing the loop, I've tried changing settings on the animation itself, I've tried the tracking settings, and still NOTHING is working...

[ruby summit]

can someone help me fix his tetures?

why is it crispy? 😭

[compact dust]

nom nom

do not the ghost ping.

[ruby summit]

the bot deleted me bc i used caps

anyway how can i fix it

[desert elk]

i'd assume if it's not crispy in blender it's something to do with shader settings. Normals maybe?

[ruby summit]

maybe normals

also, this bad topology maybe could be the issue 💀

[desert elk]

damn

[grizzled crow]

That is.. impressive

[ruby summit]

i know (i didnt made this btw)

[grizzled crow]

Ah

[grizzled crow]

Can you show a screenshot with only that mesh visible?

[ruby summit]

the arm one looks good because it was made with a skin wrap

[grizzled crow]

It looks almost like the body was made with shrink wrap

?

[ruby summit]

oh right

[grizzled crow]

You can do ctrl+N, and set normals from faces with all faces selected

[ruby summit]

yeah, to fit the body type because it was a woman bodysuit

[ruby summit]

it makes me do a new folder instead of normals

[grizzled crow]

Wai

Alt N

I think

[ruby summit]

looks fine

[grizzled crow]

That’s face orientation, which looks good, but the direction of the normals could be screwy

[ruby summit]

how do i see that?

maybe i could re-make the top doing the same method with the arm? what do u think

[grizzled crow]

this is what i meant by the set from faces

i think there is a way to see the normal vectors, but that is not needed as the effects of normal vectors are visible as they control the way the shading is applied on an object

[ruby summit]

well i already made it

[stray trench]

is anyone able to answer this?

[grizzled crow]

?
You made the object?

Or…?

[ruby summit]

the normals thing

[grizzled crow]

I’m confused by that statement

[ruby summit]

this

[grizzled crow]

Ah.. also did you set it to shade smooth too?

[desert elk]

yeah, sure. You could do that with blendshapes or meshes. I'm not sure how it would work with height changes though

[ruby summit]

ye

[stray trench]

I considered the blendshapes or meshes but don't know how to deal with the height

[grizzled crow]

Yea it may need to be redone… the very close lines may make what appear to be seams

Even with smooth shading

[frail temple]

I uh imported an avatar that's SDK 2.0 / Unity 2018, i upgraded it to Unity 2022 and imported it, i however couldn't update it because of the scripts / VRCSDK files, so i removed all scripts, now it's saying "You are trying to save a Prefab with a missing script. This is not allowed."

[somber meadow]

Unity 2022 should tell you the object that the missing script is on in the error you're seeing

[olive halo]

hi, so im very new to blender and tried rigging some tech pants and everything looks and feels life, works in unity as well:
i attach the clothing using vrcfury and upload the avatar, but the clothes disappear when i try wearing the avatar in-game,
i tried checking the tag and messed around with toggles yet nothing really worked
been on this for about 2 hours trying to look find a solution and im super desperate at this point 😅
wondering if anyone can help me out, cheers!

[ruby summit]

what do u think?

[grizzled crow]

that is a much better topology, you did well

[ruby summit]

i just made my own avatar, cloned and cut the parts

[ruby summit]
