how do I set it so that only the standing locomotion override tracking but doesnt if I'm in crouch or prone?

i cant give you a quick and simple answer to that but i can give you like a starting point i think
under an animation
atleast im pretty sure thats the way to do it?
cyan torrent
So like, I only complete the standing/walk/run set for now
And I dont want crouching set or prone set to overide tracking
I know the ingame option but that applied to all 3 sets
can I just empty out those blendtree?

you want the running but none of the other ones? can't be done
oh hmm you could mess with the default locomotion probably
cyan torrent
what if I empty the crouching and prone blend tree?
somber sequoia
.... this is a tempting idea actually
cyan torrent
because its like this:
When I'm standing ingame, I want running anim that I made
when I'm sitting down, my avatar already physically sit down via tracking, so if there is no blendtree corresponding they will just keep sitting
would it like, work?
is this part important?
I been slotting different FX into it but nothing change
somber sequoia
that's used when you're working on animations in Unity, it's not used in-game.

desert elk
go to blender and parent the bones properly
sleek finch
How would I do that?
desert elk
import model, select the armature, go to edit mode, click on a bone, in the menu on the right click the green bone, find relations parent and select the correct bone
this is somewhat what your hierarchy should look like in unity
upper chest and toes are optional
sleek finch
wait so i have to go to belnder or?
desert elk
you'd need to parent your shoulders and neck to the same bone, chest or upper chest if you have it
desert elk
wait so i have to go to belnder or?
yes, you need blender
I'm just showing you what it should look like in unity
with both shoulders and neck being parented to upper chest
look at your hierarchy, it probably doesn't look like that

twin raft
exporting from blender to overwrite this, completely breaks the avatar
it’s important that you set the proper export settings, i don’t have them at the top of my head but exporting with cats sets the right ones
it’s also important that you don’t unpack your prefab which it looks like it is
proper storm
I started from scatch and did the same so its working now
Im just having issues making my shaders singlepass because I dont know how to set that up in shader graph
lol

yeah that’s the long workaround but aslong as the prefab stays packed you can overwrite no issue

Are there any more detailed resources on 2d visemes like this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l--1c8QGpVw&t=17s ? the guy doesnt explain how to assign them to the right vertices so how does the system know what the mouth vertices are. Bonus pic of what I'm working on :>
somber sequoia
you select whatever vertices you want and move them wherever you want in a shape key.
rigid marsh
how do I assign vertices to a shape key?
somber sequoia
you don't assign them, you just move them while editing the shape key
a shape key basically stores positions of any vertices moved from their default place
rigid marsh
So the workflow is something like select the vertices, create a shape key, name the shape key according to the vrchat naming scheme thingy, then move the vertices to where I want them?
somber sequoia

I'm having this issue where when importing a new texture png, some portions come out pixelated. Sometimes this happens, sometimes it doesn't. I was told by someone that it was an issue with how I was exporting the png from krita (yes I know), but they didn't tell me how to fix it. Re-exporting the texture then re-importing it into unity doesn't change anything. Any ideas?

yeah its set back to 0, idk how to fix it :(
fair kestrel
yeah its set back to 0, idk how to fix it :(
So that means there is an animation somewhere (usually the FX layer) that is setting it to 0. The easy way to tell is remove a playable layer one by one until it stops resetting to 0. When it does, the one you just removed caused it. You ccan then go one by one to turn each of the layers weight to 0 (stopping them from working) untill it stops reseting to 0. When it does, the one you just disabled contains the animation that is changing it
compact ocean
alright thanks!!

I have an avatar I really like, original creation by third party, but there's one aspect of it I'd like to change: a tattoo on the back. Frankly, just remove it. However it is not it's own asset, I think it's part of the asset that makes up the texture of her skin/body. Any broad directional help on how simple this might be to fix up for a unity newb? If it's extremely difficult to fix something like this for a newbie I'd just ignore it for now but if it's not too hard I might try.

oh because i don't want to "pm'ed you the fix" chat: the workflow I did for 2d visemes (My character doesn't have to blink) was duplicating the mouth vertices 15 times and stored them inside the head, named the shape keys, then for each shape key I set the value to 100, moved the vertices just in front of the mouth, going back to object mode and setting the value of the shape key to 0, then I'd repeat down the list.

size it to fit in blender. Apply transforms. Keep it a separate mesh so you can turn it off/on for toggles

Im normally used to just editing models via adding like prefabs via vrc fury

if you wanna use Vrcfury:
import model to blender
import hair to blender
size to fit
press A on your keyboard to select everything
Press CTRL A - apply all transforms
delete your model and model's armature (bones)
export hair as FBX
now your hair will be the correct size
and you can use vrcfury to attach it if you want

I believe you also need to unpack the hair and move the bones to be in the correct spots

that little white dot between the legs is its hair

That did not work
Step 1
Of just dragging it onto it for auto sizing
Probs cause it doesnt have a normal head
desert elk
I don't know
it works for me 
and I don't know what you're doing
and how you watched that video in a minute
left gull
you've got a normal humanoid rig which is generally all that matters
desert elk
exactly
left gull
but alot of this model base you're using seems.. off? like it seems to be a base for editing to make personalized rather then vrchat ready
seems like it could be too big in unity aswell
desert elk
that's def made for customisation and not a ready base
bleak comet
the eyes are different types
bleak comet
that's def made for customisation and not a ready base
i believe thats what the page says ;-;
desert elk
I'm wondering if it will upload to vrc, just like that with nothing on it 🤔
left gull
not sure why they'd be seperated like that when generally different eye shapes are done through shapekeys/blendshapes
bleak comet
actually doesnt say anything about it being vrc ready or not
left gull
wouldnt work for quest atleast, might upload for PC but just be unoptimized
bleak comet
i can link it
desert elk
yeah
limpid basin
Does anyone here understand animation states? I need an explanation on what's the difference between having no animation and having empty animation?
left gull
theres no other base i can use
id look into manual setup with blender, you'd need to merge your meshes later on anyways if you want it to work on quest aswell and this way you can also add clothes and accessories rather then just hair to the model
desert elk
yeah, besides in my opinion adding hair/clothes in blender is way easier
bleak comet
id look into manual setup with blender, you'd need to merge your meshes later on...
like what does even half of this mean
and i have the blender files for it
theres 2 of them tho
for some weird reason
left gull
likely 2 diff versions to mess with
bleak comet
maybe?
desert elk
they're the same
bleak comet
then did they accidentally put it twice
desert elk
blend1 gets created when you save the blender file for the second time
bleak comet
so i can get rid of blend 1 or just keep it for safe keeping?
left gull
wish images would load for me in this server w/o me having to open them in browser 💔
desert elk
so i can get rid of blend 1 or just keep it for safe keeping?
I delete mine and had no issues, I don't think it matters that much tbh
you can keep it to be safe
it doesn't take up that much space
bleak comet
kk
ill keep it just in case
downloading blender rq
so first thing i do is open the blend file for the model right?
after its done installing ofc ugha
or do i need somethin
desert elk
you can get the cats plug in

make sure you're installing the correct blender version though
bleak comet
you can get the cats plug in
whats that
bleak comet
make sure you're installing the correct blender version though
i cant use the latest one?
left gull
not sure what the latest one is or if its supported with CATS
bleak comet
it says the latest it supports is 4.3.1.5
desert elk
some keybinds may be different
bleak comet
so do i
desert elk
so get 4.2 🤷
bleak comet
uninstall this blender and download an older one?/

i dont know why my character has gone pink
Missing shader.
ornate stump
but i dragged the shader into unity
What shader?
ornate stump
poiyomi
Have you checked that the model require poiyomi PRO version and not the regular one?
ornate stump
it said shaders included in the package
Can you post the page where you got the avatar from?
restive berry
i bought this one
wait am i supposed to like download it seperately and upload it before i open the project ?
left gull
yeah that's poor practice on the creators part delete the old folder and import a fresh version from the poiyomi download page
left gull
also fair warning the quest version of that model likely will need some fixing up to actually be quest compatible
ornate stump
wait what happens if i dont put a quest version
Quest player won't be able to see your avatar.
left gull
yeah that creator is kinda meh when it comes to making sure their stuff 100% works imo, it'll likely be quick stuff like texture res or removing extra phybones
unless they've fully converted to just making it so that the quest version doesnt have any toggles that're provided on the pc version

You had saved. It just is being somewhere else.

thats where i set it to be saved
and it made its own animator???
even though it has one
but this one is empty except for a single animation that has nothing in it
empty asf
ornate stump
What motion you put in the Eyes state?
bleak comet
And also when i have this animation labeled eyes i cant like select parts of the model to toggle them
bleak comet
What motion you put in the Eyes state?
Huh
Im frankly new to unity so no idea what that means
ornate stump
This is one state. And it's a default state.
bleak comet
Yeah that was on the seperate
Animator
For some reason
Not the one part of the model
ornate stump
Yeah that was on the seperate
Then you should check which animator controller has been assigned to animator component when you recording animation.
bleak comet
Also
Uh
For some reason
Its putting the animator on the prefab and not the model in the prefab
So thats probably the issue
Its still on proxy?
ornate stump
Its still on proxy?
I don't know what you're seeing right now.
ornate stump
Could you change animation in the animation panel dropdown menu?
bleak comet
this?
eyes isnt there
even if i tried
i could create new clip?
Still would have the same issue
ornate stump
Still would have the same issue
You put a different animator controller in the animator component. Your current animator controller doesn't contain Eyes animation.
bleak comet
You put a different animator controller in the animator component. Your current ...

For some reason, people are saying that I am really huge, but on my end my avatar height is 1.09 m.

and I want to use eyes for cycling the eyes
Then you have to add the Eyes animation into that animator controller.
bleak comet
Then you have to add the Eyes animation into that animator controller.
but it has no
animations
cause i cant

select that modeL
How you can't select that model?
bleak comet
How you can't select that model?
Yeah
The record buttons greyed out
When im in the animation
ornate stump
The record buttons greyed out
"Adding animation" means you have to drag the animation file into the animator controller graph.
ornate stump
The base layer or
In the layer that you want it to be on.
bleak comet
Even with that its still greyed out
bleak comet
In the layer that you want it to be on.
Idk its supposed to be in the eye swap thing under a blend tree
But it has no animation
Again i cant give it animations
For whatever reason
I cant record with eyes
There we go
Weird
Nope
Okay that swaps it back to proxy
ornate stump
I cant record with eyes
The record is grey out because you can't select animation file directly to record.
ornate stump
I did it earlier
To record, you have to select the model in the scene that has animator component with animator controller assigned, and the animation must be assigned to some part of the animator controller.
bleak comet
Hmm
Cause what its supposed to do
Is have the animation play via a wheel
In the menu
ornate stump
In the menu
That's the different topic.
ornate stump
Then you select the model in the scene, select animation from animation panel dropdown, and hit record.
bleak comet
??
Technically
Yes i got the animation working
Now i just need to figure out
How i can get the eyes to stay
On correct eyes
Cause atm
On the slider when i click
It doesnt stay and reverts back to 0
And my eyeballs disappear once again
ornate stump
And my eyeballs disappear once again
What your Eyes animation actually does?
bleak comet
uh
keyframe 1, all 3 disabled, keyframe 2 1st eyeball set enabled other 2 disabled
and then so on so forth for the other 2 eyes
and then keyframe 5 they all are disabled again
like so
Nvm i got it to work
Just had to remove parameter
I had parameter and rotate parameter
Only needed the rotate one

shift everything

shift everything
shift + something selects everything in a folder
or just shift click every material

how do i do that

If its a premade avi
Should come in a folder
With a bunch of materials in it in the project
desert elk
hold shift and press your left mouse button on every Material

You do the shift click

you have to look in the rig setup, not just at the hierarchy.
Inspector for the model, rig tab, click "configure"
somber sequoia
it's optional
bleak comet
Thank god
Now issue
I might have to replace a lot
Because im using the model from a uh prefab
And idk if thst updates the bones automatically
Oh it does

triangles you can either reduce manually or by baking with the plugin - Tuxedo
but it's gonna change the way your textures look

mystic tinsel
yeah, i want it to be movable

Ok then I'd go bring it all into Blender and figure out what it's currently attached to, and if it's weight painted to bones already, remove all that, then in Unity use parent constraints to allow it to be movable.

Can’t always rely on procreate since it’s iffy
somber sequoia
That's the one my partner uses, it looks pretty great
balmy plover
why would one mesh suddenly loose all its common sense and start moving on its own as soon as i finish weight transfering another mesh? like i had these arm chains on, they moved fine. then i added a shirt, and after data transfering (and also tried robust weight transfer too) the arm chains just stop tracking to the body
somber sequoia
you'd have to check the weight paint of course.
balmy plover
its confusing me bc it looks perfectly fine, both of them do
somber sequoia
remember that just because it looks dark blue, doesn't mean the weights are actually 0
a sure way to make weight zero is to just remove the vertices from the vertex group.
balmy plover
well now its messed up every weight painted mesh on the body, somehow now the pants arnt moving right
ive never had this issue ever it only started doing it when i started using the robust weight transfer tool
