avatar-help

[pale verge]

by pressing the play button from up top

[compact dust]

yeah

but which tab are you in

if you have the game view, it has a fixed camera

scene doesnt

shouldnt?

[somber sequoia]

You can move the camera around, drag it in the scene view. If it's paused maybe you have pause enabled?

[pale verge]

oh

[compact dust]

that too

[pale verge]

thank you mich

[somber sequoia]

(if you want it to stick, do that outside play mode)

[compact dust]

forgot abt pause button

[pale verge]

i was dumby

tytytyty

urhm

[compact dust]

i wonder what skin care routines some avatars use to get such pristine smooth skin

[pale verge]

now i have more questions

uhm could i get in vc with someone for direct feedback?

because i am suffering

[compact dust]

what are the questions/ problems

[sinful temple]

Anyone know why this happens with my model after I make a texture atlas, and how to solve this issue? Happens after merging the meshes into a single one on cats. My avatar doesn't look like this before the atlas even though it does have some issues with culling

This can be solved with poiyomi, but I want this avatar to be both PC and mobile compatible.

[pale verge]

some of the clothes arent attached but i dont know where im supposed to attach me

[compact dust]

you can use modular avatar to attach them if its a full set of clothing

[pale verge]

some are attached

[proper storm]

Its the base avatar, thats what it starts from

[compact dust]

otherwise you have to attach them to the avatar's bones that they should be centered at manually

[pale verge]

everything on the hip is attached

manually

but eveything else is unattached

[compact dust]

what is "everything else"

hand accessories, feet accessories, etc?

[proper storm]

I have a script to copy path for repathign this stuff, so I didnt write it wrong

[somber sequoia]

that shouldn't be in your animation paths though, they're all relative to where the animator is, which is the avatar root

[pale verge]

everything above the waist moves without the clothes

[compact dust]

moves not connected to the body you mean?

[pale verge]

yes

[compact dust]

then you have to connect them to the bone that they should be centered on

like a shirt should be connected to the spine i think

[pale verge]

my issue is that i dont know what to attach it to

[compact dust]

clothing tutorial

[proper storm]

Im using the FX layer as the controller

[somber sequoia]

doesn't matter, the animator is on the avatar root

[proper storm]

And which would that be (most likely)

[somber sequoia]

you know what the term "root" means here?

[proper storm]

Kind of-ish

[somber sequoia]

top-most object in a tree

[proper storm]

in some ways more than others

[compact dust]

starting point

[somber sequoia]

everything is a child of that

[proper storm]

So the parent?

[somber sequoia]

the animator goes on the root, and so all those paths are relative to that object

"parent" only means the object one higher than the object you are looking at

[compact dust]

root is mega parent :D

[somber sequoia]

yes!

[proper storm]

Root>parent>child then?

[somber sequoia]

root is the parent of everything

[somber sequoia]

no. root -> children.

[compact dust]

woo kazin agreed with me 🎉

[somber sequoia]

root -> child 1 -> child 2 -> child 3 etc...

to child 2's perspective, child1 is its parent, of course.

root is always root

[compact dust]

everything except root is a child

[somber sequoia]

everyone's someone's child, yup 🙂

[compact dust]

isnt that why you cant move stuff after its attached to the root

sometimes

[somber sequoia]

not sure what you mean there

[pale verge]

uhm

ive attached the top and jacket to the spine

its still not moving along like the legs

[compact dust]

Ex. you have a base as the root, and clothing attached to it which will not move if you select the mesh. but if you select the parent of the mesh it does

kinda similar to what i mean

[somber sequoia]

are those objects rigged? have their own armatures?

[pale verge]

no

[compact dust]

root is not related to this

[pale verge]

no armatures

shit

thats why

[somber sequoia]

yep

[pale verge]

then its proba bly intended

but then how will they move alongside the arms ingame

[somber sequoia]

really depends on how it's setup, need more info, etc.

[compact dust]

if it doesnt have an armature it shouldnt be able to have physbones i dont think, but idk

cus that means it has no bone

[somber sequoia]

(also I don't generally attach rigged stuff in Unity, I do it in Blender or use VRCFury's armature link)

[compact dust]

i think you'd have to make the meshes bones the ones that the avatar uses?

[pale verge]

it be much easier

[compact dust]

so like a sleeve would be attached to the arm bone or smth like that

[pale verge]

if i could stream ths to someone so they physically see whats going on here

[compact dust]

you could also go into blender and make an armature for the clothing

[pale verge]

i dont know blender

all im trying to do rn

is put this outfit

on this booth avatar

so i dont have pay someone to do it for me

cause the dumb shitter i call my "friend" is asking me two hundo just to upload this avatar for me

[compact dust]

i would do it for free, but i assume that'd be against the avatar tos

wtv the legal thingies are called

[proper storm]

So how would the path be setup? The animator is placed on the avatar with the controller as my fx layer?

[pale verge]

tos

[somber sequoia]

It depends on where the object is of course

[proper storm]

In my armature, the right hand

[somber sequoia]

Armature/Hips/Spine/Chest/RightShoulder/RightUpperArm/RightForearm/RightHand

[pale verge]

thats fucken weird

[somber sequoia]

(name those however they ought)

[pale verge]

compared to the base avtar

[somber sequoia]

wow I was really close

[pale verge]

the top half of the clothes just dont have armature

like straight up empty

[compact dust]

rightlowerarm 😔

[somber sequoia]

if RuskBase is the root, which it sure looks like it is, you don't put that in any of the paths, because everything is relative to that.

[pale verge]

no

wait

ah fuck

its buried

[somber sequoia]

standards are good

[pale verge]

and i revmoed

FUCK

[somber sequoia]

(there are none)

[proper storm]

It already knows that its there, is what youre saying?

[pale verge]

i see what i did

[compact dust]

did armature bye bye

[somber sequoia]

Yes because the paths are relative to the root object.

[pale verge]

i need to start over

[pale verge]

no

[somber sequoia]

You can think of these paths a lot like your C: drive

[pale verge]

the armature was buried elsewhere

[somber sequoia]

(since it's literally the same principle)

[pale verge]

but i removed the old points

that i was supposed to use as reference

thinking they were useless

[clear gust]

Good question what's the max picture resolution you can have for an icon in Unity for an avatar

[somber sequoia]

iirc it says so in the builder window, right on the image

[compact dust]

i wonder what it's like to be a vrc team nerd and see stuff like this happen

[somber sequoia]

1200x900 I think?

[compact dust]

it'll also tell you if its too big and give an autofix option

[somber sequoia]

oh cool

[compact dust]

smth i figured out yesterday

[clear gust]

...didn't get an option to "autofix"

[desert elk]

yeah, I use it all the time with mine

[clear gust]

had to delete all the icons

[desert elk]

we're talking about icons for menus?

[clear gust]

yeah how do you get an autofix prompt

[desert elk]

there should be an autofix for that

[compact dust]

it a yellow error i think?

[desert elk]

next to the error it says select and autofix

in the sdk

I don't remember if it's red or yellow

[clear gust]

No? Just tells me their too big

[desert elk]

can you screenshot that please?

[somber sequoia]

oh menu icons I think are teeny, like max of 256x256

[compact dust]

i wonder how hard it would be to make an avi that has dandruff

probably just a particle?

[somber sequoia]

easy - particle emitter on the hair mesh

[compact dust]

and then it could be activated by a contact

[desert elk]

what goes on in your head Michstan?

sometimes I wonder that xs

xd

[compact dust]

i was scratching my head.

[pale verge]

i give up

im not attaching every armature manually

what was that program called

[compact dust]

modular avatar

or vrcf

[somber sequoia]

VRCFury, you want ArmatureLink

[pale verge]

i have fury

how do i use it

[compact dust]

idk what modular does to attach it tho

[somber sequoia]

put one on each object you want to attach somewhere

[desert elk]

I see

interesting

[compact dust]

sometimes i have interesting thoughts

but not the ability to execute them

[pale verge]

nvm

no idea how to use it

manually it is

[compact dust]

tutorial.

[pale verge]

mich

id rather suffer now

[compact dust]

look up a vrcf clothing tutorial

[pale verge]

and have it done

than watch a tutorial and possibly still not know

[compact dust]

._.

[pale verge]

i can do this

lets go autism

[somber sequoia]

I believe in you!

[compact dust]

if you come back
shame

[pale verge]

alr

@compact dust distal END of each finger on both left and right side should cover all the armature right?

[compact dust]

idk

[pale verge]

everything moves along

if shit goes wrong after uploading

i can just bother you again :3

[compact dust]

nuh uh

[pale verge]

thaaaaaaaanks

[compact dust]

bc i am modeling

no longer in help mode

[pale verge]

you wouldnt reject a cute boy riiiiight? (；人；)

[compact dust]

erm

[pale verge]

asking for help so nicely?

[compact dust]

yes i would

[somber sequoia]

haha

[compact dust]

loki is more important

[mint pine]

If I want to start making avatars what system should I use?

[compact dust]

modeling them?

[mint pine]

I guess, there's a few fictional characters i want to make but im unsure of where to start

[compact dust]

blender tutorials maybe

[desert elk]

the basics are mostly Blender
if you don't wanna straight up jump into modeling you can first use VRoid and convert their avatars to fbx in blender

[pale verge]

but urhm

[somber sequoia]

Learning blender is a good place to start, though it'll take a while

[pale verge]

thank you michi

i amnaged to do it because of you

mmy first booth avatar

[mint pine]

Thanks

[pale verge]

and cothing edit

<3

[mint pine]

Ill install blender when I get home then

[desert elk]

good luck 🫡

[mint pine]

Definitely gonna need it

I bought my pc yesterday and am already having like 7 issues lol

[desert elk]

oh no

[mint pine]

Vrchat doesn't like loading on steam unless I directly open the launch from files

I can't get my meta quest link app to install

[barren slate]

Hey, getting this while switching to IOS build. Should I be conserned?

[Always] Failed to assign loader 'Unity.XR.Oculus.OculusLoader'. Ensure the plugin is configured for the project correctly.
UnityEngine.Debug:LogError (object,UnityEngine.Object)

[pale verge]

michi

it did not work

it did not fucking work

oh god

the entire top half is somehow still disconnected

[candid sail]

Hello so i need some help , this is my first time making an avatar for vrchat and im converting it from vroid, and if im correct with vrm 1 the export vrm1.0 is to export it to vrchat. but my main issue is i cant set a view point , there is no option for it wherever i look

[barren slate]

Assuming the problem is what I think it is don't you need to set the viewpoint within the Avatar Desccriptor?

[candid sail]

This is it right? I think i figured it out. Thank you im sorry im still all new to this

[balmy barn]

learn the blender way of converting a vroid to fbx , using the unity convert thing is a unoptimized mess, you should have no value on X ,move av to 0.0.0

[desert elk]

use blender and cats to convert the vrm to an fbx instead. And your viewpoint should have an X coordinate at 0. And your avatar position should be 0 on all coordinates

[barren slate]

All good! Yeah, if thats what the issue is then yes. You';ll see a little dot in the scene for where the viewpoint is, and you can move it

[barren slate]

Do what this guuy says. He has the experience, been in the biz for years

He's like an idol to me haha

[candid sail]

im just still looking into everything cause i was going based on a tutorial from last july so i wasnt sure the best route to go 😆

[desert elk]

blender is definitely the best way

I have a tutorial from December that describes the whole process of you wanna know why and how things work

or you can just follow the one minute short video that Thulen has sent here before, I can link it if I find it

[candid sail]

yes please

[rose geode]

whats the difference between gogo loco all and gogo loco beyond?

[desert elk]

beyond has flying, all doesn't

[candid sail]

anytime i look it up it just has like so many and i feel like im losing it a little 😂

[rose geode]

ok thank you

[desert elk]

i can understand that

the video I made is quite long cause it goes into a lot of detail most people don't care about XD

but I can understand how it can be confusing at first. When I started I couldn't find any reliable info online and it was a bit annoying xd

[candid sail]

yes if you can @ me with a link if possible i would appreciate it

[desert elk]

Thulen's 1 minute video
#avatar-optimization message

My longer video

[candid sail]

thank you 🙏

[desert elk]

you're welcome, I hope it works out for you!

[ember rune]

Is this the chat to go to if I have question about avatar creation, like from scratch or is there a different chat for that

[somber sequoia]

this'll work

[desert elk]

here

[solid pebble]

hi im trying to make a 2d avatar i tried to put just a plane and stick a image on it but the image for some reason is not being allowed to be placed

[desert elk]

blender or unity?

[solid pebble]

unity

i was following a tutorial on yt

but the idk why the image is just not going

[desert elk]

maybe you have a shader with blackface culling on and you're looking at, well, the back of the plane?

does it show up on the other side, or are both empty?

[solid pebble]

its just like this

[compact dust]

you can just put photos in

[ember rune]

I will edit my message then

[desert elk]

yeah I am not opening those links zd

xd

[compact dust]

links 👎
pictas

[desert elk]

it's on the ground, I'm assuming you want it rotated so it's vertical? you should rotate it (when I did an image avatar like that, I did it in blender so I'm just assuming what you should do if you're using unity)

[ember rune]

cool, so Im working on this model for my friend, and from the front, it looks great and matches the ref art I was given, however from the under side (or really any other angle other then the front) the hair looks like its floating out from the skull, but if I move it inwards, its no longer as 'voluminous' as it is in the ref image.

I did just put in the "hair cap" but im not to sure about it atm.

[solid pebble]

ok let me rotate and try again

i rotated but i still cant put the image on it

when i put my mouse on the plane it goes forbiden

[desert elk]

I mean, it kinda is floating out of the skull, that's how it's modeled. Maybe you could add volume to the hair by not making it all in a straight line so far away? by having more hairs closee the the head I mean

[desert elk]

forbidden? what does that mean?

[solid pebble]

wait

i try to take picture

My mouse goes 🚫

When I drag the picture

[desert elk]

I have no idea tbh

[solid pebble]

should i just use blender？

[ember rune]

Got it. Might have to do more then just that then. I used nurbspaths to help in the creation of the hair, and beacuse they are roated, when moved they act up. Thanks for the insight though.

[solid pebble]

tbh this my first time using unity

[desert elk]

idk, I know the way I did mine isn't correct cause I was experimenting xd

arent there tutorials online for those kinds of avatars?

[solid pebble]

i saw one but this very thing is stoping me

i wanted to ask on reddit but not enough karma so thats why im asking here

[desert elk]

I see

[solid pebble]

wait i think i got it

[balmy barn]

'picture' av in unity (pretty lazy way of doing it)

[desert elk]

that is interesting

[balmy barn]

For spritesheet avatars i use one thats from blender and fake bones so controller can talk to the mesh and change things

[solid pebble]

oh thats much faster

ill try that one out after i finish this way

[balmy barn]

wont be 2 meshes when its from blender and other side wont be wrong , since you can just flip backside uv ( 2planes ontop of eachother )

[compact dust]

thulen face reveal

[rose geode]

So on the normal scene the hoodie wrist is around the avatar arm properly but when I use gesture manager the hoodie no longer properly fits anyone know why?

[desert elk]

it's most likely weight painted to one of the finger bones

my guess would be the thumb

I'd open the avatar in blender and take a look at the weight painting

same thing was happening to me and it turned out the hoodie was slightly weight painted to the thumb bone

[reef kraken]

i can see the spikes on my hair through my neck in my personal mirror and the black on my hands and paws are see through in the mirror

[rose geode]

alr thank you

[fresh cliff]

is that who i think it is

[teal jasper]

Uh.. I'm new to vrchat, I want to upload a model and it tells me that it will take some time to play, but I've been playing for 3 days and it still won't let me, what do I have to do or how long will it take me to upload models?

[desert elk]

you need to have new user rank or higher

just hop worlds, befriend people. AFK time will not count towards ranking up

short cut would be buying vrc+ since it automatically makes you go a rank higher

[sinful temple]

How to solve this issue?

[desert elk]

add a parameter like that to your parameters

[proper storm]

So, I got half of it to work, but now it didnt name the keyframes properly?

[teal jasper]

oh well, thank you very much

[cinder finch]

Any ideas on how to fix this? EVERYTHING seems completely normal in Unity :////

[desert elk]

uh, what method did you use to connect the hair to the avatar?

[cinder finch]

Absolutely nothing. This is the base from Booth > Unity > VRCSDK > VRC

That's how it looks in unity. I can't get it to break until it's in VRC so I have no idea what is wrong

[somber sequoia]

without having the asset myself, there's not a whole lot I could say about this really

[desert elk]

does it look good on play mode?

[cinder finch]

Checking that now, answer is n o

[desert elk]

id guess the hair is somehow attached not properly. Could be weight painting, would be just parented wrong

[young furnace]

Is there an easy way to fix this? It's an android avi with PoiyomiShaders

[cinder finch]

Found it. Don't know how to fix it

[desert elk]

yeah, android can't use poiyomi

[cinder finch]

Hair armature rotation goes from 0 > 90 degrees as soon as play mode is entered.

Now I have to figure out what causes that

[desert elk]

you need to switch it to a quest compatible shader

locate the material that uses the wrong shader and switch it

remember to check particles if you have any

[young furnace]

Okay ty :D

[desert elk]

quest avatars can use: toon lit, standard lite, mat cap lit
for quest particles: multiply, additive

[young furnace]

I think I found the shaders as they are "Standard" like it says in the warning. However I can't seem to change it like I can with the other ones.

[somber sequoia]

Those are embedded in your FBX file and so you can't edit them - you'll need copy those out or replace them with materials you can edit.

[broken glade]

Anyone know how to attach these 2 together? I'm replacing part of my bodys mesh (original is purple).. Idk how i've just been sculpting manually

[hollow sun]

@compact dust would you happen to know if this weird rotation of the fingers toward the pinky is also due to the idle animation? I suspect it is since much like the legs it doesen't look like this in the previews

Can I edit the idle anim to correct stuff like this somehow?

[compact dust]

idk.

im playin rocket league

[hollow sun]

fixed it by replacing the default hand gesture layer controller with another one that is included in the sdk, seems to be working nicely!

[spark walrus]

im a complete avatar making noob and i made an avi that im really happy with using vroid and a custom hat i made in blender, i just added gogoloco to my avi, when i float with it people cant see my anymore but they can see the hat that i added, does anyone know how i can fix this????? me and my friend are so confused and cant figure out how to fix it

[hollow sun]

probably bounding boxes, I've had a simillar issue where people would only see my avi at certain angles

@spark walrus I would try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xj92Ei7NRn0&ab_channel=FuuujinVRC

[spark walrus]

i messed with the bounding boxes, tried making it bigger and then tiny and had the same issue both times

ill watch this tutorial tho maybe i did something wrong

[hollow sun]

weird how they can still see the hat, it makes it sound even more like a bounding box issue

but I'm also a bit of a noob with the VRc specifics of avatar making, so maybe it's another issue

[spark walrus]

yeah its really strange

is there any downside to just making it really big

[rose geode]

Im trying to subtract weight paint but I don't have any other brushes and I can't find a solution anywhere else

[hollow sun]

what blender version are you using?

[rose geode]

I think its 3.6

[hollow sun]

I'm not sure if this was added in on 4.0+ but this is what the default looks like in 4.3.2

[rose geode]

I think its just an error I did within the save

cause on a new save it has everything

[hollow sun]

Huh probably

I never gave weight painting a shot before 4.3 so I gas lit myself into thinking it didn't even have these options before 🤣 I used to hate doing weight painting

[hollow sun]

You could try resetting your preferences

or moving everything into a new file 🤷‍♂️

[rose geode]

honestly I just made my own subtract brush so i think for now ill be fine

[spark walrus]

making the bounding box crazy high seems to have fixed it lol

[hollow sun]

I can't live without blur

[hollow sun]

Guess you were going too far with the floatin

[spark walrus]

my avi is really tiny so i float up to match the height of normal sized avis

[hollow sun]

Oooooh that explains it I think

how tiny is it? Isn't it better to upload a regular sized avatar and make it small using the menu in game?

I always assumed uploading avis at weird scales could lead to problems but I've never tried

[spark walrus]

it is slightly shorter then average and then i make it small in game

i think like 130cm

[cinder finch]

Has anyone had this happen to them? The FBX is fine, but the prefab is not so much...

[warped venture]

How do i make my nova move like the first avi i show on quest even when i remove the least amount of physbones it just breaks.

[somber meadow]

That avatar is using shrink blendshapes

[cinder finch]

Is there a resolution?

[somber meadow]

double click the mesh so it outlines in orange, go into the blendshapes in the inspector and find the shrink blendshapes that it uses

[cinder finch]

My hero. Thank you.

[candid sail]

Okay. so i appreciate everybodys help , but im struggling with blender to work too much. will the original method still work for both meta quest vrc and pc?

[grim valley]

anybody know why im crocuhed like this if standing on desktop

[wooden prism]

okay what the hell is this new sdk and why can i not do pc quest like i use to

[ruby summit]

could sopmeone teach me how to combine textures? im doing a green performance avatar

[quick sky]

hey can anyone help me with something? so i bought an avatar and im trying to upload it but it keeps saying "Attempted to load the data for an avatar we do not own, clearing blueprint ID". i checked the blueprint and it doesnt have one. i tried using a vpn, i tried unpacking the prefab. im a bit stressed out cus i feel like i wasted money. if anyone could help me i'd appreciate it 😭

[compact dust]

never unpack it!
have you clicked the 'reset blueprint' or wtv on the blueprint ID? it may not say it has one but just to be safe

you could also try relogging into the sdk

[quick sky]

oh okay! ty ima try that rn and see if it still works

[proper storm]

Someone know how to rotate mesh particles to align in a different axis? (dont ask)

i dont want to rotate the particle system, no, I want the mech to be aligned with the way its going

[quick sky]

it didnt work 😦 i also tried reloggin

[compact dust]

fish gun.

[proper storm]

[crystal whale]

General question: if you were to add like a pair of boots to an avi, would they need to have bones themselves or could you just attach them to the foot bone of the avi and have it work that way? Or would i have to add a bone to the foot and ankle so it can like move properly?

[ruby summit]

holy pixel art

[proper storm]

Im assuing you mean the boots go above the ankle then, and you dont want them to clip?

[naive moat]

does anyone make avatar for at least really cheap?

[proper storm]

what happened to ur em mask?

🫠

[ruby summit]

nothing

[crystal whale]

Yeah. I found some sweet boots for my rusk.

[grim valley]

why is my avatar coruched when in standing position ?

[ruby summit]

guys i need help

[proper storm]

Im using these on my rusk and they dont clip

I would assume its fine if you put them on

[ruby summit]

i wanna upload this avatar but when i click the manager, it detects it as my old avatar, how to i unlink them??

[crystal whale]

Do you think these would?

[proper storm]

Probably not, no

[crystal whale]

Good. I just wish laces were done better.

[proper storm]

It does look fairly high poly though

I would reduce that if youre gonna put it on

[ruby summit]

please

[crystal whale]

In addition, it only comes with one. So can I just replicate it and mirror it in unity/ blender?

[proper storm]

Can you not upload seperate ones through the sdk

[crystal whale]

You can have multiple avatars in one project?

[ruby summit]

WAIT

i think i know whats happening

[proper storm]

I might be wrong, and you also have 2 different scenes

you can remove one

[ruby summit]

i forgot to add avatar descriptor to the new one

[crystal whale]

Ope

[proper storm]

it will not be valid if you dont have that, no

[ruby summit]

HOLY

21 billion triangles

[quick sky]

anyone know how to fix the blueprint issue 😭

[ruby summit]

bro i wanna cry

okay time to go to the next channel

[left wharf]

set Read/Write true in your fbx import settings

[grim valley]

would anybody know why this could be happening? i added vrcft+bhap and got rid of gogoloco and now when using locomotion i does this, i dont play on desktop much it isnt a big deal, but idk i just feel like knowing unity and vrc this could fuck up something with fbt

[ruby summit]

i already fixed that dw

[cinder finch]

When having 3 outfits, how can you make a toggle setup with VRFury that ensures you can put one outfit on and have the other two off? I can't seem to set it up properly

DId 2 seconds of research and figured it out.

[torpid cliff]

It's likely that in some animator you legs are being set to animation and not tracking. Or some animation is taking priority over the standing.

[simple hare]

In case someone else with unity cloth has this problem after the last vrc update.....it seems to happen if the mesh with cloth component on it has blendshapes. After removing them it worked again but it randomly changed the settings for many cloth constraints and i had to redo them

[past plume]

is there anyone that can help make a custom model for me?

[night ember]

Have fun with the flood of scammer dms

ah okay, thanks

[wooden jasper]

I'm new to Unity. I'm currently facing this issue, but no matter how much I search, I can't figure out how to fix it. Does anyone know how to solve this?

[compact dust]

the issue is...?

[wooden jasper]

Even though the outfit is designed for the model, the feet and shoes don't fit at all.

[compact dust]

check the body mesh for blendshapes

[wooden jasper]

I fixed it! Thank you so much!

[compact dust]

the shoe toggle might already activate it though btw if those are the base clothes (if you bought it like that from booth or smth, idk)

then they revert to flat when the toggle is off

[wooden jasper]

ok

[warm fable]

Ok Im at a loss at how Unity works

[compact dust]

sometimes does, sometimes doesnt

base rules.

[warm fable]

How do I simply color my avatar

[compact dust]

not in unity

[warm fable]

Come again?

[compact dust]

blender or another 3d app that allows painting the mesh

unless you already have a texture

[warm fable]

Omfg

[compact dust]

then you create a material in the right click menu, and then apply the texture to it in a shader of your choice, or the basic one

[warm fable]

Ok i need a fucking name

What do I need to install

[compact dust]

for?

[warm fable]

To color shit

[compact dust]

shader? 3d software? painting software

did you make the model?

[warm fable]

I have an avatar that I really really like but I want to change the eye color

[compact dust]

show.

[compact dust]

i meant a picture of the eyes

[warm fable]

Oh

Their white by default, I want to change them to match my Fursona

.

[compact dust]

still waiting

uhuh

[warm fable]

What eyes? The fursona?

[compact dust]

the model

still

[warm fable]

I linked it

[compact dust]

photo, not link

i want to see it in unity

[warm fable]

Nvm....

[compact dust]

k

[lyric heath]

How do I add textures to my model in blender?

[compact dust]

texture painting

[left gull]

or if you have existing textures you're trying to add you setup them in the Shader sections via nodes

[lyric heath]

alr thanks

[frail vessel]

for some reason the avatar im trying to upload won't upload and i have no clue why

[junior void]

usually there will be hints in the upload screen or it will tell you to look at the console

[junior void]

Okay, you want to look at the 5 topmost errors, so scroll until you cant no more

[frail vessel]

thats all the way down

can't go any farther

[junior void]

Are you perhaps in prefab mode?

[frail vessel]

maybe? idkkk

[junior void]

Is the background of your avatar a solid blue

[frail vessel]

no it's grey

[junior void]

Thats good

Unity is like a child that throws tantrums for no reason sometimes. Did you try to save and reopen your project?

[frail vessel]

i haven't lol

i'll try that now

[junior void]

For good measure, what unity version are you using?

[frail vessel]

2022.3.22f1

[junior void]

good

Other than the internal error, theres nothing of use in your console

So it can be a hiccup - and if it isn't, then I dont know anymore.

[frail vessel]

failed again :c

[junior void]

Same messages?

[junior void]

In this case i can only suggest doing what it says, finding that binlog and see if anything there makes sense

[frail vessel]

i'm new to this lmao

damn ittttt

[junior void]

It seems to have something to do with your unity, not the project itself. But you can double check this

You can try to make a new project and upload the robot dude

if that works with the same unity version, its your other project

if it doesnt, its your entire unity

[frail vessel]

im running it through VRC Creator Companion to Unity

[junior void]

Yea that makes sense but doesnt grant that there isnt something wrong because a file didnt install right for example

It's possible that during the unity installation, something went wrong, internet cut off for a split second etc

I personally would try a default project to pinpoint the error and see if its all of unity or just that one project and then ask chatgpt for the location of said binlog - i found chatgpt is pretty familiar with unity

[frail vessel]

oh

my

god

i think it's because i forgot to import shaders...

[junior void]

A missing shader would likely just display as pink material

[frail vessel]

its set to default shader

i forgot to set my shader

is there a way to set everything to one shader at once or do i have to do it individually :c

[junior void]

not aware of a shortcut

[frail vessel]

damn itt

[frail vessel]

it still failed wtfff

[junior void]

I expected it to not be a shader issue

[frail vessel]

sayding something about "scripts had complier errors"

[frail temple]

Why is my avatar transparent when ported from Blender to unity?

[junior void]

I told you already reading the binlog like it suggests would be the way to go. I can try helping you making sense of it's contents but i cant magically come up with a different solution- i told you its my only idea :/

[frail vessel]

binlog?

im confused on that

how do i get to that

[junior void]

my man

[frail vessel]

yeah ik but like how do i get to it lol

im double clicking that text

[junior void]

me neither, i told you to ask chatgpt

or just google it

[frail vessel]

okk

[junior void]

One some forum i found someone saying that this is due to another program using files that unity needs to build. So that would mean if you have any other programs open, try closing those and look in your task manager that they are really closed and not just running in the background

That would actually make perfect sense.

[frail vessel]

so close eveything except unity and discord?

[junior void]

yes, and kill the task

[frail vessel]

okk

hold up

[junior void]

Its worth a try but no guarantee ofc

[frail vessel]

even background processes?

[frail temple]

Anyone have any idea about this?

[junior void]

ones that use files connected to your project

if youre unsure, just reboot your pc

[frail vessel]

idk whats connected and whats not because when my pc boots it opens apps and what not

[junior void]

ill give you an example

for example your avatar has an audio source and you have your media player open because you listened to it to check it - and now your media player is open in the background, accessing the audio file used to build your avatar

stuff like that

Here's another forum post about this issue

[frail vessel]

im listening to spotify, would that effect it or are you meaning anything that i've opened from the actual unity file

[junior void]

i feel like you didnt read what i said a minute ago at all

[frail vessel]

i'm sorryyy im just tireddd

[junior void]

Then go to sleep, come back to this tomorrow

There will be people here to help eventually, maybe even someone who has better ideas than me

[frail vessel]

i wanna be satisifed with it done now

[frail temple]

@junior void You have any idea about my problem?

[desert elk]

is your shader set to transparent perhaps?

[frail temple]

I don't think so

I imported it straight from Sketchfab, same thing

[junior void]

Could be inverted normals but i find it a bit rude to ping someone out of an ongoing conversation

[desert elk]

exactly

[frail temple]

Sorry

[desert elk]

I still think you should check your shaders in unity :)

[junior void]

I can only repeat myself. I've done some research here for you and given you plenty to work with, the image above included. I urge you to make a backup in case your "fixing" causes something else to break. If you dont know where the binlog is or the library folder to get rid of it like the image above suggests, please google it or ask ai

[frail temple]

oh my fucking god

iam regarded

[desert elk]

?

[frail temple]

iam stupid, Rendering mode was on Transparent

[desert elk]

great 👍 fixed it

[frail temple]

Is this only in unity or does the hair look off?

[balmy barn]

opaque shader, you want cutout (pc shaders)

[frail temple]

👍

[frail vessel]

i am reading over stuff and i seen this

[junior void]

Youre literally just showing me a name of a script.

[frail vessel]

oh sorry i didn't know thats what it was

[junior void]

.cs files are scripts

[frail vessel]

well the logs are saying script issue is what i was saying tho

[junior void]

i dont think the panel is the issue

i think the panel had this issue because of an underlying problem

[frail vessel]

yeah i even tried uploading another avi which also fails so i think it's my unity

[frail temple]

Did it, for some reason inside vr chat it gets affected by light weirdly

here are more examples

[frail vessel]

i give up with unity

[languid bear]

Can someone please tell my why my avatar is only Good rating and not excellent? It doesnt tell me what I need to optimize more. Would there be a way to find out what is making it Good rated?

[desert elk]

there should be an option to show all validation somewhere in the sdk

I don't remember where though

[gray pewter]

Running into a very strange issue where if I use any Button menu items the menu will crash av3 emulator and show up blank in game

I rarely use Button (usually just Toggle), so idk if this is a known issue

[whole siren]

Does anyone happen to know what this means?

[ornate stump]

What part of it that you don't understand?

[frail temple]

Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

[whole siren]

The top part, I just came back after 4 years and I'm trying to relearn everything, but I don't understand what this is talking about lol

[ornate stump]

Every object can be scaled. Your armature object didn't have scale set to 1,1,1.

It's just plain English at that point.

[whole siren]

OH. I fixed it now, thnka you for helping me with my dumb question lol

Hate that I'm having to relearn this all again 😭

[scarlet marten]

If I have a FBX file of my avatar, is there a way to quick upload to VRchat or do I gotta go through the headache of unity?

[ornate stump]

Only unity.

[scarlet marten]

Urgh not what I wanted to hear ahaha thank you though, appreciate that info.

Been swearing at unity for awhile so I was hoping to find another option.

[frail temple]

welcome to pain, have seat

[scarlet marten]

Appreciated ahaha.
At this point I've called upon my "call a friend" option ahaha

Unity refuses to give me the menu options despite having everything I supposedly need installed to do what sounded simple enough, boy I was f-ing wrong. 😂

[naive wolf]

anyone know how to put assets and 3.0 stuff on a avatar in unity?

[ornate stump]

Many people here know. You'd have to explain the asset you have and what you had tried.

[lone flax]

How do I attach these things to my avatar using vrcfury its a clothes item but doesn't have a hip armature it has neck and both elbows so it cant connect the normal way (and don't private dm me asking me to pay you for help -_-)

[mental estuary]

Use 3 armature links for the neck and elbows

[lone flax]

oh, I feel hella fuckin stupid now that I heard that😭🙏

Thank you so much lmao

[gloomy pier]

anyone know how to use cubemaps for a latex like material? its for a pair of jeans im making on a avatar?

[lone flax]

VRCfurys armature link doesn't have an elbow bone option :/

[mental estuary]

Yes it does, it will be named something else

[lone flax]

oh, what would it be then?

[somber sequoia]

often it's forearm or lower arm

there is no actual elbow bone, you see 🙂

[mental estuary]

You mean upper arm

[lone flax]

Rats

[mental estuary]

Lower arm is the wrist

[somber sequoia]

I've seen lower arms named elbow.

this stuff is wonderfully inconsistent

[mental estuary]

In this case yeah it would be lower arm ig then

[lone flax]

Neither worked

What do I try now?

[mental estuary]

It would've worked

If it's not worked you did something wrong or the model is wrong

[somber sequoia]

"doesn't work" is not really descriptive at all

[naive wolf]

anyone know how to put assets and 3.0 stuff on a avatar in unity?

[lone flax]

I tried upper arm and lower arm but they just stay in the same position and doesn't stick to my avi

[mental estuary]

Depends what you mean by put on

[somber sequoia]

Many of us do, you'll probably need to explain what you're trying to do

[mental estuary]

Is the model rigged properly? Have you tested moving the bones before building? Have you dragged the correct bones into each one of the 3 armature links?

[gloomy pier]

anyone know how to use cubemaps for a latex like material? its for a pair of jeans im making on a avatar??

[naive wolf]

theres assets i've bought from gumrod and im trying to put 3.0 stuff and some magic on the avatar like autohotdog and stuff i can screenshare

[lone flax]

I'm actually so stupid

[mental estuary]

They'll likely come with instructions, if it's a newer asset it'll likely be drag-and-drop with VRCFury

[vocal dew]

hey can someone help me lol blender is hard to learn

the smooth tool is either not working or not doing anything

[somber sequoia]

are you sculpting?

[vocal dew]

mhm

[somber sequoia]

I don't do much of that but often the answer here is "more polygons" 🙂

[warm fable]

Ok fuck it im not bothering with Unity again

I just want to recolor an avatar, why does unity have to be so fucking confusing and obtuse

[vocal dew]

lol

[naive shell]

Unity question; I have eye movement and blinking set in Unity, and they appear to work when I test them in unity, but in game I get no movement. Is there anything additional I need to do to get it to work?

My settings, just to show

(Also is there supposed to be two lots of FX layers there?)

[vocal dew]

bro can someone help lol bc the polygons arent the problem lol

ifghvwhjefohwouehfowuhrefuhweiurghiwuhrfowheifuhwireuhfoiuehsfgioujroeitjgouheortihgoeirhgoieuhrougheoirhgoiehroigheoirhgoeuihrouehgnewjrgiofrwgrefkngrhiubfegrghoekurngoiuehroiufgjowirhgoiwhroighwjroighowirhgoiwehgoijwerfijeorighowierhgijhwroighwo3irhowuirehgouwihrnegoijroighjwoiurjgoihwergihwe

please lol

[lone flax]

How do I stop making my avatars facial gestures change depending on my hands?

[desert elk]

it's probably in the fx layer

you need to either delete the layers responsible for that completely or just delete animations

[lone flax]

I did it, thanks :D

[obsidian furnace]

how do i fix this?

im pretty sure it has something to do with the animator but tbh ive not seen this before

[timber wharf]

look at the default gesture layer (hands) in sdk examples. it does need masks.

[lone flax]

How do I change my avatars hands gestures so they aren't a claw? I did it before but I forgor

[timber wharf]

most cases you got masks on your fx layer, while you shouldnt

[desert elk]

you need to put a gesture layer in. And set the animations there. There is a default one somewhere in the sdk files, you should find it if you search for "hands"

[frail temple]

i am watching a toggle tutorial and it says something about i can skip a certain step if i have a FX Controller, if i have goloco added to the avatar, is that a FX Controller?

[desert elk]

if you have gogo loco beyond then you have an FX controller

if you have gogo loco all then you don't have an FX controller

[frail temple]

I see, thanks for the clarification

[desert elk]

it's very easy to check in your layers in the inspector

if the FX is empty, you don't have an FX

[lone flax]

idk what that means i'm pretty new to making avatars so I'm just learning as I go

[desert elk]

if you're planning on using gogo loco they have a gesture layer as well

with a png that shows you were to put it

[lone flax]

I have an animator controller from the gesture I installed

do I just drag it on my avatar?

[desert elk]

in the gesture layer

in the inspector

[lone flax]

I just dragged gogoloco on my avatar in the hierarchy and It worked

[desert elk]

you must be using vrcfury?

[somber sequoia]

You're using the VRCFury prefab then, which means you don't have to mess with any of the animation controllers to make GogoLoco work

[lone flax]

Yup

[desert elk]

yeah, so Kazin is right

you don't have to do anything for animation controllers

I didn't know you were using vrcfury

[lone flax]

How would I do the hand gesture thingy then?

[desert elk]

vrcfury will automatically add the gogo loco ones for you

you don't need to do anything manually

[safe berry]

Has anyone run into this sculping issue before where it is only sculpting things weirdly spike-ely?

[rigid nymph]

can anyone help me with the vrc avatar parameter driver? im trying to make ear twitching

[somber sequoia]

what do you need?

[rigid nymph]

i mean i dont understand whats the mix and max value

[somber sequoia]

it picks a random number between the min and max

[rigid nymph]

and whats the random number? like seconds?

[somber sequoia]

docs: https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/state-behaviors/#random

it's just a random number, you can use it however you want

I do two numbers - "which" means which ear, with 0 being left and 1 being right.
"multiplier" is to vary the speed of the chooser state, so it happens at a semi-random time.

[lone flax]

but how do I enable them on my avi?

[desert elk]

well, make sure that you have gestures enabled in the circle menu in game

if you're using controllers you just, well, make hands. On desktop you need to press Shift + F1 to F8

left shift for left hand, right for right

[sand jackal]

i know its been 5 days but i fixed the problem, the teeth and tongue weren't parented to the source mesh of the visemes/blendshapes(to the body mesh)

[proper storm]

it is defined inside the params

its a bool

[desert elk]

is it in the parameters list?

also make sure that it doesn't have any spelling differences

wrong capital letters, an extra space at the end

[somber sequoia]

Also make sure that list you've got in that slot in the menu editor is the one you're actually using on the avatar

[proper storm]

Well, im making a copy list and menu so I can share it, its just in the project folder

its talking about this list (not attached to the avatar)

[somber sequoia]

the error is based on what's attached to the avatar though

[proper storm]

It is defined though, the toggle works in playmode.

[somber sequoia]

okay, looks good then

[proper storm]

weird becvause its still there hm

[somber sequoia]

ohh

[proper storm]

Okay, I used 3.0 manager to copy the params over again

its working now

[somber sequoia]

heh okay

[somber sequoia]

you probably want to remove those zeros in the yellow ones

[proper storm]

Are those defaults it writes when you add a param object? safe to remove?

[somber sequoia]

oh sorry, I hadn't zoomed in, thought this was a different thing, ignore.

[proper storm]

Can I still remove those though

the blendkeys and vrcemote parameters

[somber sequoia]

if you don't use them, sure

[frail temple]

when it says it'll be blocked by quest users, will it basically be unusable to quest users unless they have everyone's avatars already off?

i am contemplating on removing toggles / physbones for the quest port

[desert elk]

it just means that people will need to manually show your avatar

[frail temple]

ah ok, i'll join the mesh / remove some physbones for the quest version

[desert elk]

by clicking on you and clicking the eye icon

yeah that would be good

[candid sail]

so i got my model up on quest, however the viewpoint is off , i put it between the eyes yet when i load in the game its floating behind

[frail temple]

Get all cameras off scene and try to upload it again

[desert elk]

is your avatar position 0.0.0?
is your avatar scale 1.1.1?
is the viewpoints X coordinate 0?
and remove all the cameras in your scene

[frail temple]

Opening a new project and copying everything over always removes any unity tomfuckery in my case

[candid sail]

i fixed it thank you

[left gyro]

Can someone make me a custom avatar

[arctic ginkgo]

problem is anchor position for your mesh renderers. Select all mesh renderers and assign them the same anchor override. A good one to use is your hip bone

it looks like your avatar actually has an "anchor" transform if you want to use that instead. That will allow you to update the position if you don't like where it is without affecting anything else.

the anchor btw is the point used for lighting calculations. So if you have flat lighting, the position that it uses to determine what color and how bright the lighting for each mesh should be is your anchor point. If this is different for each mesh, they will be lit differently since the game thinks they are in different positions. That's why you can set the anchor override to the same transform to get the lighting to be even, since it makes the game think all your meshes are in the same location (and therefore should be lit the same)

[arctic ginkgo]

probably because of light probes/baked lighting which you don't have in your scene

in particle system render

trying to edit the material

[heavy zephyr]

This is the default material, just create a new material and slot it in there

[proper storm]

thought so, thanks

[proper storm]

When making animations, do I have one large animation with stuff on and off to change when there is a transition or can i do it with small individual anims, the assembled anim shuts off when it goes to the charge anim

[queen trail]

Ok so my arms keep swinging left and right when i tried to add a idle animation of the gears spinning how to i fix this

[compact dust]

make sure the arms arent connected to the gears, or that the gears are a standalone bone or wtv

[queen trail]

the gears on the arms are a standalone bone connected to the arms

[compact dust]

lemme see the heirarchy and the animation

[compact dust]

well i'd assume they're also one mesh right

[queen trail]

yes all of it is connected together in the mesh

[compact dust]

that's why

it cant rotate by itself, it has to move the vertices around it too

[queen trail]

do i need to sepetate the gear mesh

[compact dust]

yeah

then attach it using an armature link or smth and then it should be fine

or just put it under the right bone

[proper storm]

example for what im dealing with

I dont know if you should make a huge anim that are just copies that change stuff, or you can somehow hold the anims while something else plays

[craggy pendant]

how do I fix this? Im trying to make a avatar for the first time XD

[somber meadow]

Open the import messages below that error that it's saying

[heavy zephyr]

I mean seems like you are overthinking stuff to me.

Either keep animating the parts you want to stay on in the different animations OR make your avatar with WD Off. The first option is probably easier if you've already made a lot of things

[proper storm]

How does write defaults work

[heavy zephyr]

WD On = Any properties not being animated from one state to another go back to their default state.

WD Off = Properties are never changed unless directly animated.

[proper storm]

OH

So its literally the name

[heavy zephyr]

Ye

[proper storm]

writing back to defaults

I see

For some reason though, in play mode, write defaults go back on

is that a vrcfury thing? im using it and have seen errors that it likes to keep it on

[heavy zephyr]

Are you using VRCFury?

[proper storm]

(i dont like making complex stuff with fury tbh makes it more confusing imo)

just clothes toggles

[craggy pendant]

Im assuming I have to fix this in blender

[heavy zephyr]

Yeppers. So VRCFury will try to keep it consistent across your entire avatar (as it should be). So if you want to use WD Off, you'll have to convert your entire logic to that.

(Unless there's a way to give it exceptions but I'm not well-versed in VRCFury, don't like it)

[somber meadow]

it's in the same screen

under that error exactly

[proper storm]

understandable

[heavy zephyr]

That's why I said it's probably easier to keep animating stuff in multiple animations. You'll save time and effort

[left gull]

Anyone here work with PCSS frequently? (https://booth.pm/ja/items/4493526) im trying to setup it on my private model but im not too sure how to get the lighting similar to the preview's video, mine seems to just want the colour to be Pink and Blue without any of the other colour options working nor the saturation actually saturating the colours

[proper storm]

Well, I have multiple, but I dont know if I should be making copies of the same one and change stuff with them

probably overthinking, but with force wd on, it will reset back when there is a change

[heavy zephyr]

PCSS is basically just a light hitting your avatar afaik. So if your avatar doesn't react well to it, it's most likely that your materials aren't setup to do so.

[heavy zephyr]

Well look at it this way :

In your example, your ring particles are toggling off when you switch from one state to another. Just add a keyframe in that second state to keep em on

[proper storm]

Yeah, I meant like that

[left gull]

it comes with an auto-setup, previously was just using a basic drop of the textures into poi toon with nothing fancy on it to prevent any issues with my material setup being the issue. mainly just trying to find someone who uses it themselves to see if i can manually edit materials it creates and uses to make it work :P

[reef cove]

"Fixed issues with trails on avatars (commonly on hands, fingers) that caused them to slam into the floor"
^ This bug is not fixed from my friend. It looks fine on my client, but on theirs the glitch still exists.
Is this because of different graphics settings? Perhaps graphic card drivers? The trails are always on, even when standing still, and they appear to sink into the ground, only on my friends computer (and VR)

[heavy zephyr]

I don't use it myself so hard to know exactly. But you probably want to check the shading section of poiyomi and make sure it is set up to react to all kinds of lights, generate shadows and react to the color of said lights.

[reef cove]

Actually, when I clone the avatar, it doesn't have any problems for them. It's only their local avatar (and in mirrors and the cameras) in which the trail renderers are always on and trailing like 40cm downwards

[oblique zodiac]

I wonder what game is that

[worldly whale]

how do i have it so only when one specific material is on i will sycle through others

For example there is a radial wheel for different types of eyes and there is a specifc eye i want to change colors but it wont record the color changing into an animation so i need different materials

[proper storm]

Is there anyway to make a particle persist after it has been turned off via a toggle

[heavy zephyr]

No, the particle system itself has to be enabled for any of its particles to be alive. However you can have a main particle system fire a sub-emitter, turn the main off while the sub-emitter stays on and do that.

[proper storm]

Ah, yeah, you are right

I have a explode effect im trying to keep on

Thanks, i grouped them but doing it like that would work

[heavy zephyr]

Then yeah, sub-emitters are your friends

You're probably looking for a tech called buffer particles

[heavy zephyr]

https://github.com/VRLabs/Particle-Bufferer

[proper storm]

vrlabs has this? wtf? godsend

VRLabs are the goats, always have been

Yeah, i used 3.0 to copy them over but it didnt do it

I will do again

[bronze karma]

Does anyone know how to color the words in the VRChat menu?

[proper storm]

You can just make a custom icon

[ornate stump]

What 3.0?

[warm bolt]

Hi, does anyone use ‘Make it MMD’? I’m trying to edit my avatar with that tool, but it’s not working… Any help would be appreciated ˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚ (ping me)

[proper storm]

AV3 manager

[ornate stump]

We usually call it that way. 3.0 just can mean anything.

[bronze karma]

this is in menu

vrchat

[ornate stump]

Look for unity rich text syntax.

[bronze karma]

I will try, thanks

[proper storm]

Can custom scripts make something not uploadable? im using a copy path and reverse anim script to help with stuff

It works without the scripts though

[brave verge]

guys my publish thing keeps getting looped into loading this

how do i fix it

[somber sequoia]

this is how things work with WriteDefaults on, all animations revert once you move off their state.
You can switch to a WiteDefaults off workflow, but it's not recommended to mix - you can if you really want. Or just switch and assume that any animation you turn on, you also have to turn off.

[proper storm]

I was using vrcfury and it breaks with it off because it fucks the other vrcfury ones, i now see why people dont use it, will take that into account on my other avatar

I just made my own defaults into the animations

[somber sequoia]

you can make this work with fury too, just takes some effort.

[frail vessel]

i need help, unity keeps failing to upload avis

[ornate stump]

#avatar-help message

[ornate stump]

Try enter play mode and see whether it's able to keep playing or error and stop.

[frail vessel]

like game?

[desert elk]

play mode in unity

[frail vessel]

i added a camera mb

is there an actual mode called play?

or is it game? I'm new to Unity I'm sorry

[soft lance]

play mode is the screen where the "game" runs

here

[frail vessel]

well i put game on and i can see my avatar fine

[soft lance]

nice

[frail vessel]

now what?

[soft lance]

don't know what you are doing to help with the next step o.o

[ornate stump]

Does it stay in play mode, or does it have more error show in console?

[soft lance]

is it possible to upload and see my avatars in vrchat being visitor? not using them in public, but checking them out by myself to make sure they look good

[soft lance]

if nothing breaks you can ignore unity warnings usually

[frail vessel]

but it wont let me upload

[soft lance]

oh D:

[frail vessel]

yeashg idkkkkk

:c

[soft lance]

haven't tried uploading one yet since im still visitor ):

[ornate stump]

The error in first image, I have seen other people having same problem but no one know solution yet. To troubleshoot further, you should try create a new project and don't import anything, just try to build upload a sample avatar and see if it work or not. After that, import your avatar and see result.

[frail vessel]

i tried uploading a different avatar in a diffrent prokect and had the same issue

[ornate stump]

Then probably the unity installation issue, try uninstall unity and install back again. Possibly do clean uninstall.

[frail vessel]

i uninstalled the version and reinstalled, are you meaning uninstall unity hub as well?

[ornate stump]

Unity hub usually doesn't matter.

[frail vessel]

okk

[frail vessel]

this?

[ornate stump]

yes

[frail vessel]

and after the version is done, do i just use VCC to open it again?

[ornate stump]

Try fresh new project and upload only the sample avatar.

[frail vessel]

like my avi or wdym

also it's stuck on uninstalling???

[ornate stump]

The avatar sample that came with the sdk.

[frail vessel]

avatar sample?

[ornate stump]

It's literally a sample avatar.

[frail vessel]

istg this does not want to uninstall lmaoo

nvm it finally finished

where do i reinstall it?

in VCC?

[ornate stump]

usually via unity hub

[frail vessel]

ands i want 2022.3.22f1?

[ornate stump]

yes

[frail vessel]

now just upload the robot?

[ornate stump]

yes

[frail vessel]

okk

[frail vessel]

istg imma wait 10m years for the unity installation

[quasi folio]

Can’t make a texture swap for some reason, i press record and i am unable to drag the material into my avatar, what do i do?

[ornate stump]

Did you actually drag the material in to material slot in the inspector, rather than on the avatar in the scene?

[autumn rover]

Heyo! Im having a issue with a head swap, im able to connect the new bones and joint them to look nice but doing so fucks up the body texture, everything gets displaced, is there a way to avoid this?

[junior void]

Blender, Unity, Maya....?

[quasi folio]

Doesn’t seem to let me

[ornate stump]

Can you screenshot unity window while in record animation and show the object you selected?

[junior void]

Is it showing you a "blocked" sign (crossed out red circle)

[quasi folio]

Huh, it seems i have a bigger issue now (WHAT COULD HAVE LED TO THIS)

[ornate stump]

Double click on the tab header.

[quasi folio]

Ah.

I knew that, totally

[ornate stump]

That's unneeded statement.

[frail vessel]

it fialed

failed

[ornate stump]

Failed to build an avatar?

[frail vessel]

yes

i used the test robot to

[ornate stump]

That's beyond my knowledge, not sure what is going on.

[frail vessel]

damn ittttt

[ornate stump]

You can't drag material into the material slot?

[junior void]

the unity version is incorrect as well

[frail vessel]

hate unity so much

[quasi folio]

Oh, thats it, it works now

[frail vessel]

idk what to do anymore

tried lit everything

[junior void]

did you try what the screenshot i sent yesterday said

[ornate stump]

Last thing you actually haven't tried is reinstall Windows.

[frail vessel]

that would reset everything of mine

and if its still broken then its a waste of time

[ornate stump]

That's the last resort.

[frail vessel]

i just give up wih unity

[ornate stump]

Ok.

[autumn rover]

Im using blender to headswap and when i apply the textures in unity it looks off

[livid rapids]

Can't seem to find any solution online, and tried playing with it myself. Funny enough, all other visemes work fine, it's only the visemes that have the open AA mouth that don't show up full value. Also YES i did make sure to export it with all visemes at 0.

[warm bolt]

Hello, a friend took pictures and notice some pictures can’t be open…does someone know what could be the issue?

[desert elk]

what pictures? like with the in game camera?

and opened how? on pc? quest? they should be in the files.

[hidden loom]

My avatar projects shader cache is a bit big. Is it ok to delete this?

[fallow gulch]

Anything that is in the Library is safe to delete, as it can be regenerated by the project itself
In fact, when making backups of projects, it is a good idea to exclude the Library folder

[hidden loom]

ty

[spark walrus]

hi again avatar chat. maybe a really dumb question but how do i do multiple outfits for my vroid avi? i cant find any relevant tutorials on youtube

[desert elk]

I do it by exporting my VRoid with all of the clothes on

and separating them in blender to be different meshes

and than I make toggles for on/off and set them up like any other avatar

[spark walrus]

ok im dumb that sounds stupid easy

how do you equip multiple shirts or whatever in vroid tho

[desert elk]

there is an add template

where you edit the texture

you can have up to 5 of in a category

[spark walrus]

OH

[desert elk]

like here for shoes for example

they're all separate materials, so you can easily separate by material in Blender

[spark walrus]

that makes a lot of sense

thank you : )

[desert elk]

you're welcome!

[dusty monolith]

When using eye look in the avatar descriptor my eyes like roll backwards or disappear. I set my eyes up on cats but im lowkey confused why this wont work. Can anyone help?

[desert elk]

your eye bones need to be vertical with roll at 0, are they?

double check

[dusty monolith]

where do i make sure roll is 0?

[dusty monolith]

and is it the bones cats made or the bones i orginally made

[desert elk]

the legacy cats generator isn't used anymore, everything is set up in unity now. Unofficial has it moved to legacy so that people don't use it. Official isn't being updated, so yeah... no need to generate a second set of eyes

you should only have two eye bones

one per eye

and those bones need to be vertical

[dusty monolith]

ok so dont setup eye tracking with cats

got it

[desert elk]

unity can also be a bit weird if you have more than two eye bones

[dusty monolith]

now lemme double check these bones

[desert elk]

the only thing cats can do for eye tracking is rotate them to be the correct way up

[rancid fossil]

Hello, whenever I export Uruki's FBX from Blender this happens. This is a fresh unity package, I imported the FBX to Blender and exported it unaltered and it did this, she was fine before. Can't seem to fix it. I reimported the model, checked the armature, checked blender export settings

[dusty monolith]

should i unweight them then make them verticle or just do it in edit mode?

[desert elk]

if you have two eye bones per eye, delete the ones that don't have weight painting on them

keep the ones that do and move them to be correct

[dusty monolith]

this look good?

[desert elk]

I have no idea which side of the bone is what

the bigger needs to be on the bottom
