[split cairn]

Does anyone know of a dripping asset? basically my idea is oil drips off of specific points on the avatar

[true flower]

I remember in Second Life, there was a particle asset that instead of shooting confetti in the air or something, would slowly send drop-shaped images downward. That might be an option

[ornate stump]

You could try playing with particle system.

[split cairn]

how would i find that?

[ornate stump]

Add Game Object > Effect > Particle system

[true flower]

So, I have a freebie avatar that I'm trying to edit, but it seems some of the default assets were deleted, probably for optimization. I'm trying to make a menu item that will make the character sit (because reasons, I can explain if asked), but the video I'm looking at wants me to open up the VRC Avatar Descriptor>Base>Action file, but there seems to be no such file. I remember there being sample assets available somewhere in this program for just such a situation, but I do not recall where to look... Can anyone give me a nudge?

[ornate stump]

Sdk asset files have been moved into Packages folder.

[split cairn]

not too experienced with this but there should be a thing in the vrchat control panel. Builder window i think?

[true flower]

Should I have more than Poiyomi Toon Shader and VRCFury Temp Files in the Packages folder?

[desert elk]

check if you have eye clicked. I think the sdk files may be hidden by default now.

[ornate stump]

Sorry I read it wrong. To create a new Menu asset, go to Asset menu > Create > VRChat -> Expression menu

[desert elk]

yes, there should be. After you log in

[ornate stump]

Although I'm still confused that you're trying to create a new menu but you described for action layer which is not the same thing.

[split cairn]

How would i go about attaching the particle emitter to the hand and also make it togglable?

[true flower]

I'm following this video as best I can, having hit a wall at 1:41
https://youtu.be/vZ_5aLx7pmU?si=2mWt__ruQyvqaaKi

[somber sequoia]

either put the object the emitter is on onto the hand bone, or use a parent constraint do that.
toggle the game object on and off.

[ornate stump]

That's to custom action layer. If you don't have any action layer yet, then go get and duplicate the action layer controller asset from the vrcsdk sample folder.

[true flower]

OK, yes, that's what I'm asking for... except I can't seem to find anything marked "SDK" outside of a GoGo Loco thingy. Is there a way to generate a new SDK folder?

[ornate stump]

Your packages likely are hidden. Click on the eye button to unhide.

[true flower]

Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh.... I thought that Eye only controlled the Console messages. 😅

[desert elk]

yeah no

[desert elk]

I think they may be hidden now by default, so it's always worth to check

[true flower]

Thank you. That's what I was looking for. ❤️

[true flower]

I guess that makes sense, but doesn't help if you don't know that. 😅

[desert elk]

yeah, true

[west hornet]

okay so i’m back about this i still don’t understand what i need to do or should look up i just need a video please i dont understand im pretty new to editing avatars and all the fancy stuff

[wispy orbit]

could anyone help? two somewhat popular avatars crash me the moment they load. they're medium quality on pc and i can't even preview them

[somber sequoia]

are you developing these avatars, or are they publics?

[desert elk]

if they're publics, you probably can't do anything about it unfortunately

[somber sequoia]

and #1138891887374237706 would be a better place to ask

[wispy orbit]

alright, thanks about that (and they're public ;-;)

[true flower]

Report the problem to the creator, maybe. Might be something they don't know about.

[wispy orbit]

it might also be due to something on my computer, since it worked before i reset it

[warm fable]

Alright I'm back again with another question

So how do I add in animations to the avatar in unity?

[round comet]

What are you wanting to add?

[desert elk]

as in dances and stuff like that? or something elsee

[warm fable]

I got these files for the model I bought which allows me to change head and body shapes do all sort of things.

How to I enable them so they work in game?

[desert elk]

if you bought the Avi doesn't it already have a menu with them?

most avis do

[warm fable]

It does

[desert elk]

yeah they're probably animations for the circle menu in game

that's where you change it

if you wanna change the default you'll need to do that in the parameters list

[warm fable]

I know they are

Is this the parameters?

[desert elk]

the 3rd folder probably

[desert elk]

then I don't understand what your initial question was about

seems like you know how to change them in the circle menu

[warm fable]

The issue is the menu doesn't work in the game even though its there

[desert elk]

is it made with vrcfury or manually?

[warm fable]

Uh idk

[desert elk]

well, did you need to install vrcfury when you were getting the avatar into unity?

[warm fable]

I don't remember, but I don't see any files with that name on it

[left gull]

check the model's upload instructions if it came with any (generally on the description/download page or in a .txt file of some kind

could also just ask the creator about upload instructions aswell

[warm fable]

Theres very little instructions

[left gull]

does it list any required scripts you might've not included (like VRCFury for example)

or is your menu/FX layer/Parameter list even attached to the model's avatar descriptor?

[warm fable]

No, the only requirement it has is mooche's shaders

[warm fable]

They are attached

Wait

When I press play these popped up

@left gull

[left gull]

im not a big error nerd so dont 100% rely on my judgement here but those specific errors just kinda seem like they're listing what you already know

[warm fable]

Which is?

[left gull]

your animator isnt properly animating, not sure if its the same for vrchat but in unity this means that it wont work because its not playing anything/is disabled

its kinda just an ignorable warning

is there anything else in the console? (also hit collapse to get rid of duplicate throws)

[warm fable]

No

Pulling up VRC SDK so I can look at the errors and I found this one that might be relevant

Is the second one about write defaults what's not allowing my animations to work in game?

[left gull]

worst thing ive seen that error do is slightly break them in-game not prevent usage entirely

[warm fable]

Hm

[left gull]

unless you're doing really intricate toggle stuff it can be ignored

[warm fable]

Define intricate?

Because my avatar model come with a lot of animations for stuff

[timber wharf]

you shouldnt mix write defaults states, it breaks On ones.

https://vrc.school/docs/Unity-Animations/Write-Defaults/

[warm fable]

How about instead of trying to explain what the problem is I'll just send you a clip of what's going on

God fucking damnit idk how discord works on desktop

There

Once again though my fucking phone

[compact dust]

i see no video
just complaining about desktop

[warm fable]

Its loading

Can someone explain why the other animations aren't working?

[compact dust]

wrong animator possibly

controller, wtv

[warm fable]

How do I check

Nvm found the animator

Do you know what I need to do to fix it

[sweet matrix]

can you help me

[warm fable]

That is a ton of issues

Also 96k triangles?

[compact dust]

no its not

thats normal kinda

[warm fable]

Oh

[compact dust]

those just mean its not optimized

[left gull]

for the 1st image, change all materials used on the model's shader to the one listed in the error ( any provided under Vrchat/Mobile) for the bounding box go into your meshes and resize them to be smaller then what they are currently but slightly bigger then the meshes size (the yellow error means you need to change your rig into humanoid, click the .FBX> change from generic to humanoid)

[compact dust]

if they are errors that look like a stop sign, then you dont want it, otherwise fine unless you want to upload it for quest

[sweet matrix]

If I give you the 3d model, can you make it for me?

[left gull]

file sharing isnt allowed here

[compact dust]

also 96k triangles is low compared to some stuff

[warm fable]

Oh wait

Yea

[sweet matrix]

I don't fully understand, can you explain in a little more detail?

[warm fable]

Because the max is 70k

[sweet matrix]

can I do screen sharing

[warm fable]

I had a brain fart

[compact dust]

"max"

[sweet matrix]

or I can give anydesk

[left gull]

theres no VCs in this server and not quite sure how i could explain it better

[compact dust]

reccommended max basically

[sweet matrix]

dm?

[left gull]

no.

[sweet matrix]

ok

[warm fable]

Well its the max that VRC accepts without treating the avatar as very poor

[sweet matrix]

or I can give anydesk

[compact dust]

thats why its the "reccommended max" like i said

[left gull]

file sharing of any kind isnt allowed

[compact dust]

bc they dont care how many triangles or wtv, just as long as its less than 500mb for pc and like 10mb for quest

well quest amounts matter, pc doesnt

[sweet matrix]

binding code for a program where you can control the screen, not the file

520922380

connect

[safe falcon]

Cube.013 isn't showing up for me to select it as Viseme Blend Shape. Anyone have any ideas? not too bright with this

[warm fable]

I still can't figure why my animations aren't working in game

[left gull]

very sketchy sounding ngl, if you cant figure out how to do it/google for better answers you could commission someone to do the work for you

[compact dust]

is it a blendshape

[sweet matrix]

Can you come to the dm and help me?

[warm fable]

Bruh

[compact dust]

also this is why you name everything for what it does so you know if you're on the right thing

[warm fable]

I have like almost no knowledge of unity at all

[sweet matrix]

Is there anyone who can help me?

[safe falcon]

yes

[left gull]

so many seperated meshes oml, hope you plan on merging them later on so you can actually upload it

[sweet matrix]

Is there anyone who can help me or can do it for me

[compact dust]

maybe its bc its asking for a mesh

find le mesh

[left gull]

go to VRCTraders (link in #1204490664637890580 ) and find a commissioner there if you want someone to do the work for you

[compact dust]

whats the problem

commission, wtv

[left gull]

they want someone to call them and help them learn unity basics or just do all the work for em

[compact dust]

youtube

[left gull]

exactly

[warm fable]

Or they can just ask a billion questions here like I did

Lmao

[uncut lotus]

Are you trying to upload this for quest?

Theres an addon that practically makes it work for it. VRCQuestTools

[sweet matrix]

yes

[zinc thunder]

is there a way to have multiple facial radial expressions that interact with each other? like, if you have a smile at 100%, the frown is automatically 0%

?

How would I do this with 5 expressions?

[wind skiff]

no, mixed write defaults will randomly break stuff all the time, even simple on/off toggles

[wind skiff]

i'd recommend just adding a vrcfury fix write defaults component

[uncut lotus]

Look into Unity add ons. I was in the same boat. The one I sent, makes it instantly work, but you should stull make sure you dont have too much and crash everything out

[warm fable]

I added VRFury

[warm fable]

Fuck you automod

[warm fable]

It didn't fucking work

Its still not performing the animations

Im about ready to just pay someone to upload the damn thing for me

I don't care if its public or not i want my damn avatar

[heavy cipher]

Hey guys, so im like having alot of trouble trying to use VRCFury Armature link and the toggle component on a hat im using, like i dont remember where to put all the components

[cyan torrent]

is it like, normal that I get this much warning, but when I check with Thry It seems all exellent?

[heavy cipher]

yeah

thats normal

[cyan torrent]

oh ok so the avatar would end up doing exellent performance at the end then?

[somber meadow]

Thry is calculating VRAM usage, nothing else

[night ember]

thry is only checking one thing not the entire thing

[cyan torrent]

I seee

[heavy cipher]

following my question, where would i put those two components? 😭

[cyan torrent]

anyway I can reduce the things said in the warning? I been looking around but dont see any way to touch these setting

[night ember]

remove physbone components

[desert elk]

you need to delete some physbones

[cyan torrent]

I mean this was their stats when they were a vrm idk so much can gone wrong lol

[night ember]

I have no idea how you managed to have almost 30 of them

[desert elk]

they're either on your bones in the armature, or there is a special item in the hierarchy that has all of the physbones

[somber sequoia]

Which are the components you're referring to?

[night ember]

vrm doesnt use physbones

[desert elk]

exactly

you must've added them

[somber sequoia]

oh sorry. Armature Link ideally on the root of the "add-on"

[desert elk]

or more likely

a converter you used added them

[somber sequoia]

I don't use the toggle one so not sure, but I'd guess there too

[desert elk]

did you convert the vrm in unity using some magic converter?

[night ember]

also vrm restrictions are generally less strict than vrchat

[desert elk]

it looks like it, cause they add phsybones everywhere they can

[cyan torrent]

yeah

I did

[desert elk]

yeah, you should convert it in blender instead

it's very quick and painless

and doesn't give you 1000 phsybones

[night ember]

also good lord 110 bones affected by physbones

[desert elk]

that's what unity converters do

#avatar-optimization message

here's a minute long video with the steps (it was made for vroid but it will work for any other vrm)

[cyan torrent]

how do I open an unity thing in blender?

[desert elk]

a unity thing?

like a unity package

[cyan torrent]

like what do I do here

to get this into blender

[desert elk]

you take the vrm file

and import that

with a vrm importer

and convert it into an fbx following the video that I have linked

[night ember]

where did you even get the vrm

[cyan torrent]

I made it

[night ember]

then you should have an fbx before it was converted to vrm

[cyan torrent]

wait uh-

does that mean I had to re-do all the customization after I re-do the vrm?

[night ember]

vrchat doesnt use vrm?

[somber sequoia]

unless it was made in vroid, that just outputs vrm

(which you usually turn into a fbx then put that into unity)

[desert elk]

exactly

vrchat doesn't use vrm

[somber sequoia]

treat this as one way, imo: vroid -> blender -> unity

[desert elk]

yup

[somber sequoia]

trying to go back and forth is pain you don't need, for no real reason

[desert elk]

probably yes. Did you do a lot of it?

if you really don't want to touch blender, just delete all of the phsybones from your avatar

[cyan torrent]

yeah I did spend the night adding expression wheel with gesture thing

[desert elk]

so delete phsybones from your avatar

and for future reference, don't use unity converters

[cyan torrent]

delete the phsybones from inside unity?

how do I do that

[desert elk]

delete the whole "secondary" object. That should be the one that stores all of your physbones

[cyan torrent]

this one?

[desert elk]

yes

[cyan torrent]

that will make the character lose all "physic" or the only excess part?

[desert elk]

lose all

after that you can only add what you need/want

[cyan torrent]

oh dang

[desert elk]

because the unity converter added everything everywhere

and that's not good

you don't need all of that

[cyan torrent]

how should I treat a VRM then?

[desert elk]

blender

[uncut lotus]

The animator one, I BELIVE you gotta select the main model thingy in the hiarcy, and hit rig in Unity, and Config the stuff

[desert elk]

like in the video I linked

[uncut lotus]

The other 3, you should be able to use after

[desert elk]

don't use unity converters because they're not very good

[cyan torrent]

I did use blender before going into Unity... but I exported vrm from Blender

[desert elk]

😭 why

[uncut lotus]

I need help figuring out why the items are like this.....so far apart

[desert elk]

okay, at least now you know better

[somber sequoia]

yeah don't do that, export a .fbx instead

[desert elk]

yeah

two clicks with the cats plugin and you have a pretty fbx

[somber sequoia]

unity can import that natively without any other hacky things

[desert elk]

that's way easier to work with

[cyan torrent]

okay so roll back to the initial VRM file, do all that and redo from there

[desert elk]

i think you could just reuse the animations and menus

[compact dust]

hi kazin/eli

[desert elk]

cause those shouldn't change (I think)

[cyan torrent]

yeah

[desert elk]

so either follow that video that I linked here

or this, if you prefer something that has spoken words https://youtu.be/6ITTI5KwC3o?si=Dt40wQ7ks6yZ8zbg

and you'll be good

[cyan torrent]

me realizing I had to get "New User" after all this

[desert elk]

they both were made for vroid, but will work with any other vrm too

[desert elk]

yeah

new user or higher

and an official vrc account

[cyan torrent]

lol its fine

I got my friend willing to upload the avatar for me to use in the mean time, it wouldnt be against anything right?

[desert elk]

it depends

[cyan torrent]

well they also offer to do all this for me but I'm doing it myself

[desert elk]

if it was a bought model - yes, most definitely

it would probably be against tos of person who made the model

[cyan torrent]

Well its me so xD

My trust rank is uhh

Have trust of someone with actual trust rank? Lol

Okay I had question for a future plan.

Can I have 2 set of models in 1 character that toggle invis/visible? And would doing so tank the performance?

[desert elk]

just make two avatars

doing a colour switch or a clothing toggle is fine

[cyan torrent]

Or you can do something like...

Only replace the visual but it use the same bones, same expression set and everything

[desert elk]

but if you want a completely different head and completely different body, just make two avatars

[cyan torrent]

Yeah...

Okay can an avatar spawn vfx on creation/ can a vfx from last avatar last when you swap. Wanna have like typa transformatiom effect

[somber sequoia]

by "vfx" you mean what exactly?

like a particle system?

[cyan torrent]

Visual effect

Yess

[desert elk]

if you mean like a seamless transition between avatars, it probably wouldn't work like you imagine, cause when you switch avatars you're a diamond till it loads ♦️

you could make it I think

but it wouldn't look like you imagine

[somber sequoia]

you also don't know how long it takes your avatar to load on someone else's system

[desert elk]

exactly

one time I waited like 5 minutes xd

[somber sequoia]

I also haven't tested to see if worldspace particles will be culled when you switch avatar

[uncut lotus]

I dont get why the hair piece for the beanie isn't showing up for this toggle... Like, everything else is disapearing and apearing that its supposed to, exept the Hair piece for the beanie

[cyan torrent]

Sob

Welp, anyway. Is it hard to make 3D particle for your avatar?

[somber sequoia]

no

[cyan torrent]

Ngl I saw this gojo who pull an entire hollow purple lol, of course I dont want THAT level yet

[somber sequoia]

or yes - depends on how extreme you want to get 🙂

[native urchin]

Can you use face tracking and gestures at the same time?
Like if I buy a lower face tracker can I keep the eye gestures on?

[cyan torrent]

Eh just like, a halo that stay behind you, or super saiyan aura - level

[somber sequoia]

Yes - some gestures may stack up and look weird, but it does work if you set it up well

for example, I can't get my FT setup to do "mouth closed, tongue out", so I have a gesture for that

(it seems to report that my mouth is open when my tongue is out, one of these days I'll tweak the animation stuff to deal with it properly)

[native urchin]

Ty

[hazy pendant]

looking for this but the site is down

anyone know where i can find it

[worn kiln]

use #1138520828556890214 if you need to find it maybe, but also make sure that pic is not nsfw.

but huh....kind of common hair style so maybe try booth?

[untold minnow]

can anyone help?, My personal skeleton sits/crouches with what looks to be the best posture ever but my other avatars sit normally

[round comet]

Seems like the actual armature

[untold minnow]

what do you suppose I go about fixing it?

[spring jolt]

Hello, anybody knows how to reach this pixelation effect?

[radiant owl]

anyone know how to fix this?

[round comet]

Usually a separate texture and material folder

I’ve seen that set

[spring jolt]

I just re-set materials inside Unity

[round comet]

Where are the textures

[spring jolt]

Drag material on mesh, then in inspector drag on Albedo

[radiant owl]

there isnt any materals in general

[spring jolt]

Textures will appear

[round comet]

Cringe texture guh

Was there no material pack to import

[radiant owl]

nope

[round comet]

Weird?? Should’ve come with one. Or the actual unity package

Try importing the set itself

[radiant owl]

there still grey

[round comet]

Once importing is there now a mat folder?

You may just have to drag the materials on now if there is

[radiant owl]

there isnt one :'D

says there was a warning

[spring jolt]

on model no materials

[radiant owl]

yeah thats why im confused

[spring jolt]

warning about empty model

[radiant owl]

huh odd

[spring jolt]

try to put materials to fill these things

then drag texture on albedo

[radiant owl]

i would but the folder didnt come with materials, when i imported it there wasnt a materials folder

[spring jolt]

Then this

I also have problem where FBX don't have materials and I had to make new materials and set up them in Unity

[arctic ginkgo]

That's normal, but you can extract materials if you want from the fbx

You still have to set up the shader and settings, it just creates the materials and adds the textures

[delicate tide]

If I want to have a prop toggle animation work for quest, do I need to make a separate fx controller and a separate main menu / parameters thing for the quest version of my avatar?

Cause I think I need to make new animations for toggling the quest versions of the props as opposed to the PC ones

[arctic ginkgo]

No, unless they are toggled differently

[delicate tide]

Wym?

[arctic ginkgo]

If they are toggled the same method with the same logic and have the same hierarchy path, then it will work the same

I mean, what's the difference between the quest props and PC props?

[delicate tide]

The names and the materials

[arctic ginkgo]

Are you animating the mesh object and they have different names on PC vs Quest?

[delicate tide]

I'm toggling the visibility of the prop, and they all have different names:

• Gun with Light PC
• Gun without Light PC
• Gun with Light Quest
• Gun without Light Quest

[arctic ginkgo]

Oh there's no reason to name the props differently between PC and Quest if they otherwise function the same. Keeping the names the same will mean you can reuse the FX controller and animations

[delicate tide]

Oh alright so just name them the same in both hierarchies

Thanks

Also for some reason it said my Quest avatar compressed was 27MB and uncompressed 70MB, yet it still let me publish to Quest and it still went through

After I published it, the size errors are gone

[desert elk]

if you uploaded it from the same project as the pc one it most likely still displayed the pc values

[delicate tide]

How do I check the file size for the quest version once it's done?

[desert elk]

and after publishing it the errors went away cause it realised "way, that's a new avatar" and it updated

[desert elk]

you could use the performance tools

https://github.com/Thryrallo/VRC-Avatar-Performance-Tools

I think it shows that

[delicate tide]

It measures in MiB instead of MB, is that normal?

Wait no I have a thing called "BuildSizeViewer" and the total compressed size is 9.5MB while total uncompressed size is 19.3MB

I'm assuming that's for the Quest version, even though I still have the PC one as the active scene

[crisp trail]

anyone know a good glass shader i need it for the eyes of my avatar

[woven verge]

i need help, i am doing a avatar for a commission and im trying to use robust as the normal way to waight paint a chocker onto an avatars neck isnt working.. it keeps clipping when you tilt the headset. as seen in these two photos..

but now i am getting this error on robost that says "Failed weight inpainting on Chocker: This usually happens on loose parts, where vertices are not finding a match on the source mesh. Use Select Rejected Loose Parts to solve the issue." so am i forgetting anything? here is a screenshot on how i set it up...

[winged bobcat]

hey, i'm having an issue where an object on the avatar is being deleted when i test it using gesture manager, does anyone know how to fix? it has a vrcfury apply on upload to toggle the object off but no delete on upload so i'm confused

[alpine zodiac]

i tried to open an avatar file and got this and now it won't let me open the avi, how do i fix this?

[untold minnow]

What do I have to fix on my armature for my avatar on the rights posture not to be so good

I want it to be like the one on the left

Cause it doesn’t work well with full body, it looks really wonky

[delicate tide]

I just updated my SDK to 3.7.6 and now it's letting me select multiple platforms at once? How do I go about uploading to PC then Quest?

Cause I don't want the quest one overriding the pc one

[compact dust]

shouldnt it just upload to both..?

[delicate tide]

Idk how this works 😭

[untold minnow]

Could you help me out

[woven verge]

if anyone has a answer to this. please @ me... thanks

[alpine zodiac]

anybody know how to fix this?

[delicate tide]

Idk how to work with this new SDK. Could someone explain if it's ok to check both boxes, or go one at a time? I might just revert back to 3.7.5 just to upload it...

[jovial pollen]

Anyone have any tips on how to add particles like this to an avatar I'm making?

[arctic ginkgo]

For the first one it looks like they have the shape disabled and collision on, then I think there's a submitter that emits an invisible particle with a red light on it. For the second one you can set the start speed to 0 and set the shape to whatever shape you want your cloud to be (like a circle for example) and set them to spawn in the volume

I'm not at my computer rn so i might not have all the names correct but that's what I'd generally suggest for those particles

And the collision looks likes it's set to kill the particles

[jovial pollen]

Thank you so much!

[gleaming scroll]

Hellooo! I am pretty new to this but need to start somewhere, so.. I bought an avatar a bit ago, it is PC only (Idk how much info is needed, so I'll just provide whatever I think could be helpful) and it is NOT from booth. I really wanna put different clothes on my avatar and even got a set now. The set which I got has fbx files (fitting for multiple bases - my avatar is using one of these bases), a unitypackage and a zip file in it. I've read that I need to use blender to work with fbx files. Does anyone know what the best procedure for that would be? I saw that there are many different ways to put new clothes on avis, but I'm not sure what would fit me in this case. Or even how to get my avi into blender without breaking it. Any tips or ideas where to start?

[next yew]

how do i know what direction the seats are facing, i've put arrows for whhcih directions im tyring to make them go

[round comet]

There’s nothing wrong with it really. Just a different armature so it looks different

[untold minnow]

How can I make it not have a good posture like that though

Back straight as a arrow

[round comet]

Unsure honestly. GoLoco posing maybe?

Or trying to swap out your sit pose

[untold minnow]

Unfortunately it’s not just my sitting pose

Or gogo I believe

It’s just weird, not sure how to explain it

[night ember]

your upper leg is significantly shorter

[untold minnow]

My back doesn’t bend, it’s very stiff

[night ember]

your proportions are just different

[untold minnow]

?

My thigh bones?

[ebon bolt]

working on gogo loco, trying to remove the old gogo loco from an avatar, should I delete this script? I'm installing gogo loco with vrcfury

[untold minnow]

I see

Thank you

[untold minnow]

That didn’t fix the problem

Do you think it could be my spine or hip bone?

[night ember]

🤷‍♂️

[spark walrus]

It seems to be bending at the hip bone instead, so there isn't any spine there according to the animation. Your model's spine starts on this model's hip.

[digital cairn]

Can someone walk me through how to add audio to one of my emotes (animation) on my avatar? I also want a seperate toggle for if the audio plays along with the emote or not.

I've looked through videos but a lot of them are either really outdated or not exactly what I'm trying to do

[jolly ingot]

how to i fix abnormal shading in blender?

[compact dust]

smooth shading option

i think its in the right click menu on a mesh

[jolly ingot]

i tried that it didnt fix anything

[compact dust]

might fix it idk

[spark walrus]

recalculate your normals.

[woven verge]

does anyone know anything about this?

[jolly ingot]

recalculate outside?

[spark walrus]

Yes

Then, run the normal checker to make sure your faces are all outwards

Its in the top right I think

[jolly ingot]

yeah its still looking a bit wonky

[spark walrus]

Lets have a look see

[woven verge]

please someone help me.. if i could pay whoever that helps me with alot of money i would but im flat broke...

[jolly ingot]

i am using blend shapes on it not sure if thats causing the shading to distort

[spark walrus]

Try next to merge the nearest vertices, sometimes missing one or two will mess up your maps

[spark walrus]

Unfortunately, that's not in my area, I'm old school 😂 Sorry about that man, but I know lots of people here use those

[woven verge]

damn it.. im basically a ghost..

[jolly ingot]

all good

[jolly ingot]

i dont know much on weightpainting

[compact dust]

maybe because nobody is able to answer your question :o

[spark walrus]

I'm sorry friend, I would help you too, but I don't want to give you wrong advice, I'm not the best at weight painting yet

[woven verge]

well you could have said idk maybe "sorry but we dont know how to help" instead of ignoring me. its kinda rude tbh

[compact dust]

nobody ignored you

just bc we dont reply doesnt mean we dont see it

it rude that you're complaining that ppl dont know how to help with your weight painting problems

[jolly ingot]

thank you for the help im try to figure it out because i think it is the shapekeys that are causing it

[woven verge]

how was i supposed to know that? im not a mind reader. i didnt know that no one knew how to help

[jolly ingot]

im using multishapekeys rn

[spark walrus]

Sure, don't forget to reset your transforms just to be safe since you messed with your maps

[woven verge]

im sorry but for being rude, but think about it in my shoes. you explain a problem that you need help with and instead of people saying "sorry we dont know how to help" they just dont answer you at all. period. you too will think people is ignoring you. this is why i barely text in this discord server..

[compact dust]

k.

ive had questions go un-answered
didnt start complaining

[woven verge]

again sorry for being rude. but i do have a point... even if you see it or not

[untold minnow]

yeah i had got it

[compact dust]

you could also look it up on google

use chatgpt

etc

[woven verge]

you know what? fine. im just gonna be a bigger man and just walk away talking to you all is like yelling at a brick wall. have a good one.

im just gonna leave the server since this one is no help. bye

[surreal grail]

um, what?

LOL

also showing no alerts

im stumped rn, tried restarting my unity and everything

[gleaming scroll]

damn, thats rare :D

[next yew]

omg just had the same issue, i duplicated and reslected the duplicated avatar and it let me see the alerts again

[surreal grail]

this did not fix :c

[next yew]

im trying to make it crossplatform now but it looks like this and im stumped 💔

[next yew]

argh im very sorry 🥀

[compact dust]

good thing im not currently updating to new sdk 🙏

[surreal grail]

you think the servers are shitting themselves?

[next yew]

mayhaps

[next yew]

how do you revert it 💔 i have no idea when it even updated

iits driving me mad

[compact dust]

idk

if you have a saved version of the previous one that import that

without opening with vcc id assume

or make a new project and use vcc to import the previous sdk version actually

[surreal grail]

found the bug

seems like a new sdk bug

[compact dust]

fix: dont use new sdk just yet 👍

[next yew]

how do i get gogoloco beyond flight to work

it refuses

[digital cairn]

Can someone walk me through how to add audio to one of my emotes (animation) on my avatar? I also want a seperate toggle for if the audio plays along with the emote or not.

[night ember]

just add an audio toggle in the fx controller that has the same transition condition as the emote

then have a second parameter in the condition for if you want the audio to play or not

when both "you want audio" and "emote" is true then itll play the audio during the emote

[proper storm]

my pos constraint doesnt show in vrc but does in unity and play mode

something im doing wrong?

I linked the targetpos into my armature so it should follow right

putting the weight lower so it sticks closer didnt seem to fix it either

[carmine flint]

Is there a way to customize the animation that plays in the Avatar Details inspector? I've noticed some avatars have different animations (swinging arms, sign language, peace sign, etc.), and one even has a completely unique pose.

[ornate stump]

There is no way to use animation to change detail in avatar descriptor. Those different poses are just made from custom playable layer that branch out to different poses according to parameters.

[night ember]

or in the case of a lot of avatars

taking the default locomotion layer vrchat provides and changing animations

[carmine flint]

That's what I meant! Thank you ^^

[digital cairn]

Can you tell me how to set up the audio toggle? I know how to make anims for toggles, but I'm not sure what all I would need to put on there

[carmine flint]

Do you know what specifically drives that? (Eg. Action Layer, Idle layer, etc.)

I'm not very knowledgeable about specific terms, I'm sorry

I didn't mean to change details, I meant to change the pose that the avatar is in when viewing it in the avatar descriptor.

[ornate stump]

https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/playable-layers

[carmine flint]

Thanks!

[digital cairn]

You know, I don't even know if I have my audio source set up correctly ;-;

[ornate stump]

If you can't hear it then it doesn't.

[proper storm]

Make a new layer, add a node with the play audio source component, add a transition with 2 parameters needing to be true, the dance toggle and audio toggle

[digital cairn]

I made it with an empty gameobject and just added the audio source component to it, then put it on the root of my avatar. Was there something else I needed to do?

[ornate stump]

Did you put on audio clip, or use animator play audio behavior to play sound?

[proper storm]

I already told you tbh

its not bad

you need 2 params to be true

it will only work if you are already using one toggle (the dance animation)

You still needing a waiting node too

[digital cairn]

Can one parameter not control two toggles? I want this audio to play with an emote, so both are using the VRCEmote paramater

[proper storm]

make 2

[digital cairn]

I'm using the gogo loco layers btw, if that matters

[digital cairn]

I made a parameter for the audio. It's a bool

[digital cairn]

Okay, I'll try that. But I'm struggling with making the audio toggle

[proper storm]

and then last node to exit

[willow carbon]

used a booth afk animation which makes me summon a table etc while afking

but i can't see the table in mirrors (or in cameras)

will other people be able to see it normally?

[ornate stump]

The problem is from making toggle inside of action layer.

[night ember]

you can only toggle objects via fx not action

itd need to be its own animation

[willow carbon]

that makes sense

thank you

[digital cairn]

How do I set up the anim that plays the audio?

[night ember]

just toggle on the audio?

[willow carbon]

enable recording mode

click on the audio and toggle it

then save

should keyframe it no?

[proper storm]

Still no object ingame, why does my object not show when i apply pos constraint?
shows in playmode already so idk what it is

[digital cairn]

Do I toggle the audio source?

[willow carbon]

to enable recording mode

[night ember]

your toggle probably isnt set up correctly

[night ember]

yea

[willow carbon]

then make this a checkmark (toggle on), and then click on recording mode again.
it will keyframe it and save it

[proper storm]

(its not a toggle)

[night ember]

is it even under the hierarchy of your avatar

[digital cairn]

Isn't that for the animator component?

[proper storm]

shows when I tick constraint off

so

hmmm

idk why its removing it

[willow carbon]

just an example

but for "Audio Source" in this case no?

[night ember]

are you sure its "removing" it and you didnt just fuck up the constraint

[proper storm]

constraint works in playmode

[golden parrot]

Anyone else have issues with toggles that can be turned on, but not off?

[night ember]

and what does said constraint even do?

[ornate stump]

No.

[willow carbon]

may want to check write defaults i think

[ornate stump]

I think weight should be clamped to 1.

Unity constraint will be converted to vrc constraint, but both doesn't have exactly the same behavior so that's why it's mismatch in game.

[digital cairn]

Okay, so it just needs the one keyframe that has it enabled and that's it?

[golden parrot]

oh. i duuno. Not really sure what's causing my issue

[proper storm]

uh

bru

wait

thats what it should do

[night ember]

what even is it targeting

[proper storm]

just run weight under 1. on the other then?

[ornate stump]

You should try using vrc consraint instead so behavior matchs.

[proper storm]

an empty on my head armature

[proper storm]

yeah, you are righrt probably, I had the vrc one but I removed it and put the normal one by accident

thanks for poiting out

uh

wait

where is the vrc one

[ornate stump]

I heard that vrc constraint doesn't work right with weight outside range 0-1

[ornate stump]

Search vrc position constraint.

[night ember]

it does but you need to do a specific weight

theres multiple weight settings in it

[proper storm]

uhhhhhhhh

[night ember]

you need to be on a sdk that has it

[ornate stump]

Might be sdk is too old.

[digital cairn]

This is on my FX layer. Don't know if I set things up correctly.

[proper storm]

hm, could be

oh yeah, lol

probably gonna solve all of my avatar bugs

[digital cairn]

And this is how my audio source is set up

[cyan torrent]

I did the vrm optimization thing and.. is an fbx suppose to look like that in unity?

[night ember]

higher priority breaks set it back to default

[proper storm]

oh yeah i was on 3.6

[ornate stump]

FBX often doesn't have correct material and you have to manually setup materials.

[digital cairn]

But 0 is the default, which is the highest priority. It'll make it cancel out pretty much all other sounds around the instance

[night ember]

0 is not the default

default is in the middle which I believe is 255

[digital cairn]

oh okay, its 128

[night ember]

half of 255

[proper storm]

256*

255 is color code

funny its one away xd

[night ember]

well

no

255 is just 256 if 0 was the starting value

[proper storm]

i mean in that way yes

[cyan torrent]

how do I do that?

[night ember]

its how computers math

[ornate stump]

https://youtu.be/rRAnDMUbWt8?t=143

[cyan torrent]

ty

[oblique dawn]

@fervent spear Make sure your friends Safety Settings->Friends-> Avatars/Custom Animations are also both on when they help you check your work.

For the fire animation, you first want to place it on the hand without it being a physbone, make sure that works
Then try it as a physbone.
Then try using an aimConstrait with both versions to get it to point in the direction you want.
-The aim constraint should belong to the same parent as the fire, so the transform moves with the parent
-Getting the point to world up is also an option, but that one might take a bunch more R&D

[proper storm]

still doesnt show

but in playmode it does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

like it did always.....

[ornate stump]

Now try with gesture manager too.

[proper storm]

yeah it does

[digital cairn]

Okay well I got the audio toggle working I think, but there's another problem. The emote is a really short animation that loops, and I want the audio to play independently of it so that the whole audio plays through and only starts over when the audio ends

[ornate stump]

What is the another source and where it's put on?

[proper storm]

you mean the target?

target pos it should be

[ornate stump]

The target.

[proper storm]

I put it on my head armature

above it

[fervent spear]

ok thank you:)

[proper storm]

how it should be in unity:

not there ingame

[oblique dawn]

np! @fervent spear
also,
For the fire animation, you first want to place it on the hand without it being a physbone, make sure that works
Then try it as a physbone.
Then try using an aimConstrait with both versions to get it to point in the direction you want.
-The aim constraint should belong to the same parent as the fire, so the transform moves with the parent
-Getting the point to world up is also an option, but that one might take a bunch more R&D

[ornate stump]

Did you just have the bottle outside of avatar hierarchy?

[proper storm]

Will it not render if so, probably was that

[ornate stump]

Object outside of avatar hierarchy doesn't get uploaded.

[proper storm]

oh yeah because youre uploading the avatar descriptor

[fervent spear]

oh thank you for the tip :D

[proper storm]

lololololo

yeah thanks

I thought it was in there

im a dumbass

[cyan torrent]

I can't find the original marterial

I can see them in blender

[digital cairn]

Still need help with this

[somber sequoia]

You can't trigger off the end of the audio, you'll need to make an animation that's as long as the audio

[digital cairn]

Is that really not possible??

Cuz the animation and the audio are two seperate things that just happen to activate at the same with one toggle.

[timber granite]

anyone with experience working with shinano know why this happens?
im not sure what causes it and ive seen another person online with the same issue

[somber sequoia]

there's no way to trigger based on random events on avatars.

[ornate stump]

Material combiner should export textures. So look in where you exported the model and find the textures.

[ornate stump]

Set rendering preset in material to transparent or fade.

[digital cairn]

Sorry, I think you might be confused on what I'm trying to do. I just want the audio to play the whole way through before looping, not looping with the animation itself

I've seen it done on avatars before, so I know it can be done

[timber granite]

this one?

[ornate stump]

Yes.

[ornate stump]

But that's a wrong material.

[somber sequoia]

not sure if I have a third way to tell you the same thing. You'll need to make that animation the same length as the audio, or just do this with two different layers or something else.

[timber granite]

i need to do it on the alpha material?

[ornate stump]

Yes.

[digital cairn]

Oh they are on two different layers. The emote is on the action layer and the audio is on the FX layer

[cyan torrent]

that doesnt look right

[ornate stump]

Then you change shader.

[somber sequoia]

then I'm definitely not sure what problem you have, those are two totally independent animations.

[maiden cargo]

anyone ever get an issue where their hands are like 90 deg rotated in?

it looks normal in unity and when i use gesture manager but in game its broken

[timber granite]

it worked!
tyty

[cyan torrent]

If I save the atlas with Matcombiner I just get that, how do I get the file for the 4 material in here

[ornate stump]

"Combine" mean 4 materials got combined into 1 material.

[cyan torrent]

ye

I just want the 4 not combined ones

[proper storm]

I mean it did work, yeah but now its the problem of trying to make the target independent now

its something easy probably

but I have no clue lol

[ornate stump]

Then I don't know how to exclude material because I don't work with matcombiner.

[ornate stump]

Do you mean you're trying to make it as slow follow instead of snap to position?

[proper storm]

Yes

I know there are tools for that

but I dont wanna use a tool as a first time doing it

then i literally have no idea how it works

[ornate stump]

The tool is just a preconfigured constraint.

[proper storm]

How do you set it up manually though?

There arent really guides anywhere

lol

[ornate stump]

I looked on how it work by using the tools.

[proper storm]

Is the one for it from vrlabs?

might already have it

oh no i just have 3.0 manager

[ornate stump]

It not exactly a tool. Just a prefab with preconfigure constraint.

[ornate stump]

av3 manager is only for toggle the follower.

[ashen crane]

alr so apparently, when i try to import my model into unity, some its rig's bones and bone weighting have either changed position or, in the bone weight case, just doesnt exist anymore. i also run into a problem where for some objects, the blendshapes havent been imported.. someone please help

[somber sequoia]

blendshapes not imported usually means you left a modifier on that object which can't be auto-applied

[ashen crane]

what about random bone alignments?

[somber sequoia]

no idea based on that description

[ashen crane]

ill show u 2 pics, one is in blender, the other is in unity

[somber sequoia]

what part of this should we be looking at?

[ashen crane]

the missaligned tires

[somber sequoia]

bone roll not zero?

unapplied transforms? not in rest pose?

[night ember]

Your armature shouldnt be a selected bone

[ashen crane]

im confused

[night ember]

You have a rigged bone jutting out from the origin

[ashen crane]

the hip bone?

or the root bone?

[night ember]

The root bone should be the hip bone

You shouldnt have a bone containing the hip bone

[ashen crane]

oh aight

also is there a way to do auto shade smooth without it being an actual modifier?

[somber sequoia]

object mode, right click, there's an option there

[ashen crane]

it automatically puts it as an modifier im afraid

[somber sequoia]

oh huh, I never do this so I didn't realize that's what it did

[night ember]

Ive never once seen shade smooth as a modifier

[ashen crane]

well its called "smooth by angle"

[somber sequoia]

yeah I'm not sure when I'd use it either

[night ember]

When I set it to shade smooth it doesnt add that

[ashen crane]

what ver of blender r using

[night ember]

4

[somber sequoia]

yeah shade smooth is a one time operation

[ashen crane]

interesting...

am usin 4.2

[somber sequoia]

but auto shade smooth does add the modifier for me

4.3.2 here

[ashen crane]

what?!

let me see

what happens when you use auto smooth

[somber sequoia]

what I just said

[ashen crane]

hm..

im changing to 4.3.2 to see if anything happens

oh my GOD it keeps putting a modifier

[somber sequoia]

yeah, that makes sense

[night ember]

Ive used blender since 2 and it has never done that

Well 2. Something but idk what that .whatever was

[ashen crane]

ive used blender for a while too, and ive never seen that as well

[somber sequoia]

I'm not sure how auto would work otherwise

maybe it was some internal magic before

[ashen crane]

i wish it was

now because its a modifier, i can aply it to objects w blendshapes

:/

[somber sequoia]

well.... you can

or you can just.. not use auto and smooth once

[night ember]

Theres a plugin on gumroad for that

[somber sequoia]

I use this one: https://github.com/przemir/ApplyModifierForObjectWithShapeKeys

[night ember]

But just smooth it once after you are done

[ashen crane]

smooth makes it ugly

[night ember]

I mean its smoothing

[somber sequoia]

I'm not sure what more auto-smooth would do then, isn't it just the same thing?

[ashen crane]

my model has sharp edges that i wanna keep sharp

[somber sequoia]

so mark them sharp

that's the whole point of that

[night ember]

The different edits you make have settings

[night ember]

Automatically does it after edits ig

[ashen crane]

auto vs smooth

[night ember]

Since smooth doesnt update for edits normally

[somber sequoia]

probably you need to "reset vectors" in the normals menu

hard to see what's what with the color though

[night ember]

Or yknow just calculate them in unity

[somber sequoia]

I don't find that to work well 🙂

[spark walrus]

Can you repost this in solid? its easier to help then

[ashen crane]

solid...?

[night ember]

It works surprisingly well for me every time I used it

[somber sequoia]

view mode

[spark walrus]

The view mode, hold z and move your cursor down (i think)

[somber sequoia]

it's one of the little view mode globes at the top right

[ashen crane]

again auto vs smooth

[somber sequoia]

z, right = solid

yeah - wonky edge normals there.

[night ember]

It has settings

[somber sequoia]

edit mode, select faces, alt+n, reset vectors

[spark walrus]

I think you've got some vertices that aren't connected properly, your map isnt stretching across your shapes solidly

[somber sequoia]

(make backups, etc)

[spark walrus]

Make sure to save first, then merge to nearest, recalculate, etc

[somber sequoia]

yeah something is causing that to look weird, could be you moved things around, split stuff, etc.

[ashen crane]

not a big difference when reseting vectors

[somber sequoia]

that's strange.

[spark walrus]

Once you merge them, do alt+n, recalculate

[ashen crane]

i did

again, not a big difference

[spark walrus]

Then what's left is to clean up your topology on the bottom there, it looks like you did pretty well on top. Maybe you should try to separate the shapes and put different values to them.

Separate them into different meshes, I mean

[ashen crane]

my model already has a lot of meshes, i dont want it to become too unoptimized that i cant even upload it to quest

[spark walrus]

🤔 The sisyphean struggle, indeed

[ashen crane]

yep

[spark walrus]

Besides that, you're just gonna have to clean up your angles, I guess

[night ember]

You can still always try unity's calculate normals

[ashen crane]

well speaking of which, i found out that in the newest updates of blender, auto smooth is now only a modifier

so imma just import my model into an older ver of blender, and see if it works

[spark walrus]

I would definitely try what Diven says first, that sounds like an awful big jump 😅

[ashen crane]

but this isnt the problem im having

my problem is i cant auto smooth

bc my mesh has blendshapes

[night ember]

So?

[somber sequoia]

I posted how to deal with that

[night ember]

Theres plugins that allows you to apply with blendshapes

I use it purely to apply mirror when I need to big edit my model

[spark walrus]

https://echovrc.gumroad.com/l/BlendshapeSmoothingTool Here you go, I found one really quickly

[night ember]

Or

[somber sequoia]

yeah I don't remember using it for anything else lately

[night ember]

https://github.com/przemir/ApplyModifierForObjectWithShapeKeys

[ashen crane]

THAT is a life saver ngl

[somber sequoia]

it is

[night ember]

One that you ignored earlier

[somber sequoia]

#avatar-help message

🙂

[compact dust]

hi kazin

[somber sequoia]

.... now I want waffles. I should go to bed.

[ashen crane]

sorry lol-

[compact dust]

yw <3

and gn

[night ember]

Those waffle sticks with the syrup cup

[somber sequoia]

I wonder if I still have a waffle maker

[night ember]

Make one and be a waffle maker maker

[somber sequoia]

deep.

[compact dust]

kazin would you make me a waffle

[cyan torrent]

Wallahi

how do I actually convert FBX into VRchat ?

[somber sequoia]

drop it into the project, drag it into the scene

[night ember]

You dont exactly convert since its what vrchat supports

[cyan torrent]

ye

[night ember]

Add the avatar descriptor component

[spark walrus]

Here's a helpful guide https://vrclibrary.com/wiki/books/how-to-upload-an-avatar/page/set-up-an-fbx-avatar-for-vrchat

[night ember]

Also rig the fbx as humanoid

By default its set to generic

[cyan torrent]

I add the component and stuffs, right?

[desert elk]

yes

[timid kite]

i scaled the thighs. but the second dot is not in the right place when i try to sculpt with symmetry

[true leaf]

Why won't my physbones upload to quest parts that should have physics and move don't it's probably a ez fix but I'm slow

[compact dust]

bc quest auto deletes all physbones if its over 4 components i think

[ashen crane]

Diven i have good and bad news

good news is that the addon works

[desert elk]

8

[true leaf]

Huh but the public version works on quest but when I buy the model it doesn't work with any of em

[desert elk]

and yes it auto deletes

[junior void]

You need to apply transforms

[desert elk]

check in the sdk how many components you have

[true leaf]

I'll open it rn

[compact dust]

then maybe its a different version

[ashen crane]

bad news is that the truck tires r still missaligned

[timid kite]

how?

[spark walrus]

ctrl+a

[timid kite]

in edit mode?

[desert elk]

object mode

[night ember]

Then align it?

[spark walrus]

thank you, I'm too slow

[desert elk]

A to select everything
ctrl a - apply all transforms

[ashen crane]

doesnt work, it reverts it back to how they put it

[true leaf]

???

[desert elk]

that's not your sdk window

[true leaf]

Idk what I'm doing 🤣😭

[desert elk]

now that I asked to check

[compact dust]

thats a mesh component
sdk!

[timid kite]

ty so fricking much

[compact dust]

also hi eli :D

[desert elk]

when you go to upload the avatar

[night ember]

Then redo the rig by setting it to generic then humanoid again?

[desert elk]

at the top of the screen

[ashen crane]

well... it either worked or didnt work and i cant tell

[desert elk]

vrchat sdk - show control panel - builder

[ashen crane]

in "configure avatar" it shows the tires alligned

but in the scene, they are unaligned again

[compact dust]

idea:

rotat

idk its a thing unity does smt because of a difference in blender -> unity importing rotations or smt like that, they use a different system? idk

[glossy imp]

can someone guide me on how to fix my animator on my avatar in the creator companion

[desert elk]

switch to generic and back to humanoid

[ashen crane]

its so dumb cuz ive nevr had a problem like that :/

[desert elk]

or set it to humanoid of you haven't yet

click the fbx in assets - rig - humanoid - apply

[ashen crane]

if ur talking to me, i already did that

[desert elk]

nope

@glossy imp

[night ember]

Did you edit the bones after adding it to the scene?

[glossy imp]

yeah it still didnt work

[ashen crane]

before

[night ember]

Is it posed in blender?

[night ember]

Why is it a missing prefab

[compact dust]

because missing is better than being

the less thats there, the less to deal with

[ashen crane]

theres no such problem in blender

[night ember]

Well no the prefab that was dragged into scene was deleted

Making it missing

[glossy imp]

wym sorry this is deadass my first ever avi

[compact dust]

yeah i knows

but id rather have a prefab that no longer exists
means i dont have to work on it anymore

[spark walrus]

If thats true, try fixing your transforms in blender and then putting it back

Based on the fact one is okay and the rest arent, thats what it looks like to me

[desert elk]

wait, did you also use an automatic unity vrm converter?

don't, go convert the avatar in blender

unity converters are very unreliable

[glossy imp]

i made alot of the stuff in blender then moved it to unity and added textures and now i cant upload

thats all i did fr

[desert elk]

because it's called VRM

and VRChat doesn't support VRMs

so I'm a bit curious what happened here

and if you're trying to upload the second one, the Kammy one, it's missing a prefab

so you may have deleted it

[glossy imp]

how do i undo on unity

because it wasnt red not too long ago

[night ember]

Ctrl z if you didnt close and reopen

Although deleting files cant be undone

[desert elk]

yeah, deleting files can't be undone

[compact dust]

well it can

if you reimport

[desert elk]

you even get a warning saying "are you sure, you can't undo it"

[desert elk]

only if you made a back up

[glossy imp]

so i need to delete the modle retexture everything then try to upload?

[glossy imp]

only the untextured modle from blender. i saved the unity file but cant find it anywhere in my actual files

[desert elk]

well, look for it

[glossy imp]

i clicked file and saved as

awhile ago

does that save the actual avi or no?

[left wharf]

.unity file stores references to actual file. so no.

[glossy imp]

damn

[glossy imp]

so just do this?

i got everything on the avi i dont know what im missing??

[desert elk]

the prefab, that's why it's red

[glossy imp]

what do i do for it?

[left wharf]

btw, i think you should learn unity basics first

[glossy imp]

i just started today

im just trying to upload this n fix wtvs fucked uo

just need sum help not opinions pls and thanks

[spark walrus]

It sounds like you're asking someone to explain it step by step which is pretty much doing it for you. Pointing you towards teaching tools is a kind of help and arguably a much better one.

[hollow meteor]

can someone please help.. I keep having this issue even when I enforce tpose and it wont go into a humanoid

[night ember]

Tpose doesnt matter?

You are missing the chest bone

[hollow meteor]

I put that in but the arms are still messed up and it doesnt go humanoid

[desert elk]

is your hierarchy correct?

put the chest in, apply, enforce tpose

[compact dust]

what's that one bone song?

[desert elk]

and if that doesn't help, check your hierarchy

[compact dust]

the thigh bone is connected to the hip bone (idk)

we need one of those for vrc

[glossy imp]

i just need help with the animatior part i have the rest

[compact dust]

yeah so use a tutorial

pretty easy.

[desert elk]

set it to humanoid

or to generic and back to humanoid

[glossy imp]

does anyone have one in mind? ive been searching yt and cant find a helpful one

[compact dust]

physbones, maybe not connected to the right bones?

could be couple of things

[desert elk]

or weight painting issue

but idk how Vrcfury links armatures

[compact dust]

basically matches up names if im not mistaken

[desert elk]

click your fbx in assets
go to rig, set to generic, apply, and back to humanoid

[glossy imp]

oh nvm that worked

[desert elk]

or set it to Humanoid if you haven't already

[glossy imp]

but now i got sum new shi to deal wit lmao 🤦

[desert elk]

?

[main copper]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[night ember]

Well do what it says

[compact dust]

looks like you might be missing, idk, a bone

like an entire chest

no ribcage for you ❌

[glossy imp]

lol

guys im completely new, like today new so work wit me pls 😭

[desert elk]

where you set the rig

go to configure

and assign your chest

and apply

[hollow meteor]

it still isnt working

[desert elk]

is the hierarchy alright?

it sometimes throws that error when the hierarchy is messed up somehow

[glossy imp]

okay i got it thank yall sm

[compact dust]

yet you had no problem being rude when i told you not to post the same thing in multiple channels

[hollow meteor]

this is the hierarchy

[glossy imp]

does anyone know how to fix this now? all i did was move the hair in the avi heirarchy bc i forgot and fixed the view position

[main copper]

[delicate jackal]

oh no

this is too hard

[timid kite]

sculpted to the leg, attached to the leg, transferred weights from the body. why is this my result?

[night ember]

Weight painting

Its not going to be perfect

I wouldve personally just duplicated the leg and alt s scaled it out a tiny bit then untoe it

[desert elk]

you don't need to worry about that warning

if you need to fix it you'll need to go to blender and rename the bones

because unity organizes the stuff alphabetically

[frail temple]

How do i make the avatar always white / not affected by the color of the world's lighting? (1st and 4th picture are my avatar, 2nd and 3rd are examples of what i want)

[fickle ivy]

Hey any ideas why my avatar cant press world buttons? Like in just b club 4 in the elevator I cant press the elevator buttons yet other avatars can

[fiery crow]

if youre using poiyomi u can change lighting to be set to greyscale in the lighting section

can even animate a float radial for adjusting it to suit your preference when world hopping

(also super useful for vrc photography)

[bright silo]

I'm just going to throw this out there 'cause it seems everyone jumped over it
VRModels is a piracy website that redistributes paid avatars for free against the ToU/ToS of the avatar creators. Please don't use it

[fiery crow]

also doesnt really help that vrm stands for things other than that site too

[desert elk]

oh

[fiery crow]

didn't skim through it too much, but hopefully they meant that

[desert elk]

that's why i got confused

i was thinking of the vrm model file

that for example vroid gives you

[bright silo]

yeah, I've had a few misunderstanding arise from that

[desert elk]

yeah 😅

[fiery crow]

piracy is bad mmmkay

(except if its adobe)
