[quaint hound]

hi my kittensss

[bleak comet]

Robiinn

how do

[quaint hound]

for quest or for pc

[bleak comet]

pc

[quaint hound]

what shader

[bleak comet]

poiyomi

pro

[quaint hound]

emission maps

[bleak comet]

huh

[quaint hound]

theyre like your color maps

[bleak comet]

huh

[quaint hound]

but they control how bright and what color sometihng glows

if ur making it for quest

[bleak comet]

quest comes later

[quaint hound]

youd need to make a seperate material that glows

[bleak comet]

i could never

[quaint hound]

and replace the material for the part that should glow

[bleak comet]

technically cant

since its part of the whole body texture

[quaint hound]

yea buddy its over

[bleak comet]

so where do i go on the thing

for pc

[quaint hound]

ok let me

make a examp

[bleak comet]

tyty

[quaint hound]

i just got home dude and you are already getting me to start up unity 💔

wats that 😭

wats that... whats a weld...

[bleak comet]

perfect

so where do i go from here

on the material

if thats what i should do ofc

[quaint hound]

this bro giving me NO time

[bleak comet]

exactly

i have limited time frfr

[inland seal]

Worked ;D

I had to merge them

[quaint hound]

YAY

YAYYYY

merging works too yea

[bleak comet]

Yippiiiieee

[inland seal]

How can I merge the armatures together 😭

[bleak comet]

by merging them

[inland seal]

That wont work

It doesnt let me

[bleak comet]

dang

i did all i can do then

[quaint hound]

Ok

stardust

[bleak comet]

yar

[quaint hound]

bitch u listen now okay

[bleak comet]

nar

[quaint hound]

(bitch used affectionately)

[bleak comet]

lmao okay

go forth femboy

teach me your ways

[quaint hound]

idk myself what im doing here

so just

like

poorly follow these steps

[bleak comet]

i shall attempt

errr

i only need 1 specific part of the texture

to light up

[quaint hound]

then make that texture

[quaint hound]

also the emission mask is a black and white texture

[bleak comet]

specifically the skull

[quaint hound]

import texture into gimp or photoshop

color select that skull

[bleak comet]

yeah

[quaint hound]

remove everything else that isnt that skull

(add a black background)

and fill in ur selection of the skull with white

[bleak comet]

like around the skull?

[quaint hound]

for the map

:

Oh my Lord

[bleak comet]

one sec

sorry im slow

directions unclear d stuck in toaster

so this is the textures for my body atm

would this be what im going for

or this

[quaint hound]

alalalaalla

[quaint hound]

This for mask

and the exact same but colored in the color u want

but u can actually just set the color in unity with the material

u could do a funny like rgb thing

[quaint hound]

for multiple colors ud make a seperate texture just with the color for the emissive

like in here

but u dont need that

like this

[bleak comet]

what in the hell

[quaint hound]

u need the white on black only

[quaint hound]

this

make sure u export the rest of the texture just blacked out

[bleak comet]

i just cropped the rest of it out but i dont think that works lmao

[quaint hound]

that

does not work

💔

[bleak comet]

kk

im using uh

[quaint hound]

u need the like

texture to be the same size and the same position as ur color map

[bleak comet]

paint.net

[quaint hound]

cuz it uses the same uv's

[bleak comet]

okay so

thiiiis?

or just black out the rest of the page

[quaint hound]

yes

black the rest out

[bleak comet]

kk

[quaint hound]

all should be black except for the white skull

cuz thats the part thats gonna light up

[bleak comet]

so ultimately this

[quaint hound]

the brighter the color is the more its gonna light up

Yes

Exactly

export that

[bleak comet]

YIPPIe

next?

[quaint hound]

import into unity

put it into ur shader in the emission slot

[bleak comet]

shader emmision slot

[quaint hound]

Yes

[bleak comet]

top or bottom one

[quaint hound]

mask

top one

[bleak comet]

okay

[quaint hound]

then u can change the color its supposed to light up as with emission Color

make sure to set the emission strength to above 0

[bleak comet]

issue

[quaint hound]

?

[bleak comet]

its still

purple

[quaint hound]

actually u could just tick the "use base color"

wdym

[quaint hound]

i literally told u

to set it above 0

💔

[bleak comet]

even with it at 20

nothing

[quaint hound]

because its BLACKKK

[bleak comet]

still wouldnt it turn it white?

[quaint hound]

this dude brainless 💔

[fallow gulch]

And change the color to white
And maybe even click Fix Now on that button, if you want to use it as a map

[quaint hound]

no

[bleak comet]

kk

[quaint hound]

Yea that aswell

[quaint hound]

i assume he wants it to glow purple

in which case

[bleak comet]

There we go

YIPPIE

[quaint hound]

one of these

[fallow gulch]

Yeah, and it shall, if it is set to white, but can also be set to purple ofc

[quaint hound]

use one of these

[fallow gulch]

Yeah

[quaint hound]

perfecto

[bleak comet]

now i wonder if i can do that for the tail

issue is

idk where the tail texture is

[quaint hound]

no issue ur lazy

[bleak comet]

wdym

[fallow gulch]

Cut them some slack

[bleak comet]

im super baked

[quaint hound]

Oh 💔

[fallow gulch]

They seem to be new as well

[bleak comet]

its the only way i can focus on doing one task at a time

[bleak comet]

very

first ever avatar

[quaint hound]

its ok i think he knows im joking

[bleak comet]

from base

[bleak comet]

ofc frfr

so this is the tail

i kinda wanna make the juice glow

and it uses this texture base

it might be the purple

[quaint hound]

probably Is

[bleak comet]

but idk where the bubbles come from fr

[bleak comet]

id do the same thing as the skull right

black everything out but that texture and turn it white?

[timber thistle]

draw a different colour line / scribble on each of the blocks and check which ones correspond with the tail and then make an emission mask

sorry to butt in

[bleak comet]

all good

[timber thistle]

u can also just leave it purple

[bleak comet]

it just seems the purples the only one that would make sense

[bleak comet]

can i?

[timber thistle]

the effect is a lil different for white and purple

yea

i do it all the time HAHA as long as the background is black it works

[bleak comet]

can i make the light have the color glow darker?

than its default color?

this feels a little darker

cant tell tho

[pastel oracle]

Is there a way to merge armatures that might have conflicting bone names? It seems blender correctly renames the bone to .001 but doesn't remap the weight paint to the renamed bone 🤦

[inland seal]

@quaint hound I might be needing help with Blender ;D

[somber sequoia]

I think some of the plugins (cats or tuxedo?) does this, but I usually do this manually:
rename the new armature's bones to match the old (which renames vertex groups in attached meshes), then delete all but new bones and then merge only the new bones in, re-parenting them as needed.

[pastel oracle]

Not sure if I read it right, but I mean like for example I have two shoulderpads with bone_0, if I join them to the main armature, both are weighted to bone_0 instead of bone_0 and bone_0.001

[somber sequoia]

yes, because the ctrl+j operation is join, not merge

you'd have to actually rename first if you want that behavior

[pastel oracle]

dang, can you like automatically prefix all the bones or something?

[somber sequoia]

not with ctrl+j, but you can use the bulk renamer tool

[visual dove]

Hey I go a question I want to make a sky dome but I hate if i move the skydome will move with me is there a way if I use the toggle it stay right there

[frail temple]

Huh, is there a way to just change the position of the hands when Idling / Standing?

[somber sequoia]

VRC Parent Constraint, lock it to the world

[visual dove]

is there a video for that?

[somber sequoia]

probably, but I don't have a link handy

[somber meadow]

Put a parent constraint on the dome, and animate "Freeze to World" in the component

[somber sequoia]

ah that's what it's called, "freeze to world"

[somber meadow]

make sure it's VRChat's constraint component

Unity constraints don't have that option and need a gimmicky way of doing world constraints, also they just run worse

[inland seal]

I still dont know how can I merge 2 armatures as one?

[bleak comet]

By merging frfr

[still shuttle]

With a new animation

[somber sequoia]

depends on what you want out of this, there are some tools to fully "merge", or you can join just like I was describing a few minutes ago

[inland seal]

I want so two armatures will be as one ;D

Sooo

[somber sequoia]

so?

[inland seal]

You just didnt answered to this

So how can I merge them together?

I want full merge

[somber sequoia]

literally did here: #avatar-help message

IMO you almost never actually need "full merge"

[inland seal]

uh

[inland seal]

Idk what I did but now Hips and Neck aren't connected in the same place so head is another object which doesn't follow by moving any Bones

How can I parent neck inside Chest?

[somber sequoia]

in properties panel with the little bone there's a "parent" slot you can change.
Or you can select neck then chest and ctrl+p (keep offset)

[inland seal]

👍

Uhh

It still does the same thing as in the 1st photo example

[somber sequoia]

I'm not sure what you are doing to make the head move that way, I was just talking about bone parenting

[inland seal]

Im trying to make so head will move also...

[somber sequoia]

I figured. Is it the same mesh object as the body, or separate?

[inland seal]

Its 2 different objects that I merged together

2 models in one basically

1 is torso

2nd head

[somber sequoia]

so currently is it one or two mesh objects?

[inland seal]

Its one whole object

[somber sequoia]

then the issue is likely weight painting.

[inland seal]

uhh

what?

where is that?

[somber sequoia]

mesh moves with bones because of weight painting. If it doesn't move with the bone you expect, it may be weight painted wrong.

[inland seal]

where is weight paint

[somber sequoia]

you probably want to look for a basic tutorial on this, it's a very large topic and the visuals will help a lot

[inland seal]

ok

[unreal bobcat]

Okay so. Bones closes to my hands are being grabbed. But i want to grab the bone near the floor to pose it so i can wrap this around myself. Ideas?

Otherwise i was thinking if trying to maybe make an animation to pose it.

[opaque dagger]

i need some help uploading an avatar :) i just started using unity and i don't understand how to fix some problems that i have

[desert elk]

what problems?

[opaque dagger]

let me do a screenshot

and a lot more

[unreal bobcat]

So first thing i noticed is go to:

avatar descripter
blueprint ID
clear blueprint

[balmy barn]

import what it requires since you are missing it , page you **bought **this from should tell you

[opaque dagger]

dont have nothing there ;(

[somber sequoia]

Also as a note, always show the first 2-3 errors, at the top.

[somber sequoia]

that's not the issue

[opaque dagger]

yeaah, other pages i saw have that info, but mine doesnt

[frail temple]

How many material slots can i get away with on quest?

[balmy barn]

wich page is this

[opaque dagger]

ok, going

[somber sequoia]

I mean in general - for this one Thulen is right

[opaque dagger]

those are the first errors

[somber meadow]

You need VRCFury imported

[somber sequoia]

And the Face Tracking templates

[opaque dagger]

aah

[somber meadow]

avatars usually have import instructions

[opaque dagger]

ty :) i'll try that

[opaque dagger]

i think the page where i downloaded it doesnt

i can send the link if you want

[somber sequoia]

that would be interesting to look at, yes.

[somber meadow]

Then I'm guessing you got the avatar illegitimately

[balmy barn]

oh its that 30$ av , wich says what it requires

no stats course lazy creator

[opaque dagger]

ah

cant send links

[somber meadow]

yeah that's a reupload leaking website

[balmy barn]

no you can just that page is known stolen crap page

[opaque dagger]

aaahh

[somber sequoia]

ahh

[opaque dagger]

didnt know that

[balmy barn]

https://jinxxy.com/Bakayo/amisa

[opaque dagger]

o h

thanks for searching it :)

[balmy barn]

after seeing all the assets they used and some of their tos, i dont really care that much if that 'creator' get their shit leaked its just a asset flip from someone elses asset then slapping on a price

[somber sequoia]

sure is a lot of that

[frail temple]

after days of hard work, i managed to Atlas the textures for this avatar, just make sure to keep transparent textures in a seperate atlas, and to turn the roughness to 1.000 (Default is 0.500) along with re-adding the image texture to the Alpha constraint on transparent textures, as well as adding the normal map and emissions

[inland seal]

Omg 😭

I did it!

Thx a lot @somber sequoia

[somber sequoia]

hooray!

[inland seal]

and everyone else too :D

[frail temple]

Thank you for everyone who helped me with Atlas'ing/Baking

i still gotta change the default standing animation so the fingers dont look funny but i'll take a bake break

[pine valley]

it's shalashakasla

I mean, shalakashaka

I mean, shalashaka

dammit I still got it wrong

[inland seal]

Hmm

hmhmhmhh

More problems :D

[frail temple]

the FURY!!!

[inland seal]

?

[inland seal]

So how do I fix this

[desert elk]

well, is it set to humanoid? and are hips mapped?

[inland seal]

Its set to humanoid

It has this error

[desert elk]

errors

look at them

[inland seal]

Only 2

[frail temple]

Press Configure

make sure Hips is selected

[desert elk]

yeah, check if you have hips

[frail temple]

mfw unity doesn't pick up chest bone when bone is called Chest

[somber meadow]

Expand the "Import messages" dropdown in this page

[desert elk]

check if every bone is mapped correct and try enforcing tpose

[somber meadow]

it won't be in a T-Pose properly if there's import errors

[desert elk]

so check the eye bone

[somber meadow]

assign the left eye bone manually

[desert elk]

yeah

[inland seal]

:D

oopsie

[frail temple]

lemme record a video

[desert elk]

yeah correct rhat

[inland seal]

ye

I will

[desert elk]

and check the rest of the bones

and enforce tpose is everything is correct

[frail temple]

@inland seal

[inland seal]

How do I enforce that?

[desert elk]

I'm gonna be so real with you

[frail temple]

@inland seal

[desert elk]

the background noise is too much to hear you talk

[inland seal]

a

Another error

And its gone :D

I will test

WORKED

Thx everyone!

:D

[tribal hinge]

hmm, been spending the day trying to get this guitar plugin to work.
I was able to upload my avatar, and it works fine thanks to Eli, but the arms aren't responding to the guitar.
the arms are not aligning correctly with it.
plugin: https://8ya.booth.pm/items/6257170
tutorial video: https://youtu.be/Wl9HNyNj0P0
what's strange is that I feel like I'm very close to fixing it but I'm just missing something important.

[desert elk]

to me looks like it may just be too big and in the wrong spot

shouldn't it be a bit on an angle?

(I'm just guessing, I'm not gonna buy it myself to test)

[tribal hinge]

it seems to be okay in unity
thing is it's also not supposed to be activated before I click the activate button
managed to fix that earlier, but now it's back to the same issue where it's on the moment I use the avatar

at least based on the tutorial: the particles, signboard, and guitar should be hidden until I go to expressions

[pine valley]

lmao

(one of the bosses in MGS3 is The Fury)

[torn vector]

My external hardrive got ripped out my laptop while building and now this happens when I build and it keeps telling me multiple unitys are open when task manager says otherwise.

[pine valley]

it'll complain that unity is already open because of a lockfile in the /Temp folder

I would close the project, delete both the Temp and Library folders from the project root, and then reopen the project. This will cause Unity to reimport all of your assets.

I'm guessing something got mangled in the Library

The next build will take a long time, because it's going to have to recompile all of the shaders and do everything else from scratch

It's possible that your actual assets have gotten corrupted, but it's actually not that likely

Unity generally isn't modifying your assets during a build

(barring stuff like generating the avatar prefab)

[uneven whale]

Sorry, how can I open a vrc model in blender if it is in unitypackage format?

[somber sequoia]

you can't

you'd need to open that in Unity and extract the model, likely a .fbx file

[somber meadow]

think of unitypackages as zip files

[somber sequoia]

they're literally zip or .tgz files 🙂

[somber meadow]

they really just are tar.gz in their own package

[uneven whale]

In that unitypackage there are 2 unity files. Model for PC and for quest, I need a model for quest, but in the unitypackage itself there is 1 model. I don't understand how it works

[somber meadow]

I don't get the problem there

extract the unitypackage into a project, find the FBX from it, and import that into Blender

[ornate stump]

In the simplest form, you could just import only the quest package.

[rancid wind]

Can someone explain what VRM0 is exactly? I was watching a video on the internet about transferring characters from vroid studio to unity and then to vrchat, and there is no such thing as vrm0 in the unity I downloaded.

[somber sequoia]

a format of VRM files

a version, if you will.

[desert elk]

when you export a character from VRoid Studio, you export it as a VRM, and get to pick between VRM0 and VRM1

it's a file format

if you're looking for the vrm0 tab at the top in the toolbar, don't
you're probably watching an old tutorial that shows you how to use a very unreliable unity converter
consider converting the model in blender

[raw spindle]

why is it when im trying to use physbones and i have a transform as a child of one of the bones, the bone does not move?

[desert elk]

transform should be the root of the bones

transform affects it's children

if the child is one bone (and doesn't have any children of it's own) it's not gonna move, unless you mess with the endpoint settings

[rancid wind]

How do I fix this...

I don't see any name place..

[somber sequoia]

open section 1

[rancid wind]

??

[somber sequoia]

what?

[desert elk]

set a thumbnail?

it says "no image"

[rancid wind]

oh... should ı add an image?

[somber sequoia]

this image literally displays the fields the error is referring to.

[desert elk]

yes

[somber sequoia]

Follow the instructions.

[desert elk]

unity convertor, cry

[rancid wind]

thanks for help

[desert elk]

why do people do this i wonder

[inland seal]

Why is this happening? Edit Mode

Object Mode

What I mean is that my tail breaks

And when I export the same thing happens

[somber sequoia]

do you have a non-rest pose? or an un-applied modifier?

[somber meadow]

is the tail rigged/using blendshapes

[somber sequoia]

active shape key?

[inland seal]

uhh

Oh shi

It was because of rest pose

;D

Fixed!

Why I cant paint on head? but I can paint or any other of my body parts

[somber sequoia]

insufficient information

like, what program is that even?

[pine valley]

looks like Substance Painter

[inland seal]

Adobe Substance Painter

[pine valley]

oops, sorry, totally wrong reply lol

[pine valley]

...but did you figure that out?

[inland seal]

The problem is that I can paint or any of my body parts besides head

[pine valley]

You may have different texture sets

[somber sequoia]

people really need to give detailed info up front, so much "why is this broken" with no clue as to what "this" might be.

[pine valley]

You'll get a texture set for each Blender material

[inland seal]

Wheres that?

[pine valley]

blender materials or substance painter texture sets?

the texture sets should appear in a menu in the right hand toolbar

[inland seal]

Blender?

[pine valley]

i don't have Substance Painter open right now and I'm not that familiar with the UI, so I can't be more specific -- but you can look up "substance painter show texture sets" and that should point you in the right direction

materials are assigned to each object in Blender

[somber sequoia]

in substance it's usually a tab at the top of the layers list panel, I forget the name of it too

[pine valley]

e.g.

[inland seal]

I dont have any there

All of them is deleted

[somber sequoia]

if you're starting a fresh texture job though I see very little reason to not have a single material for this mesh

(but have fun with UV unwrapping)

[inland seal]

Its already unwrapped

[cerulean flax]

I want to create a custom avatar from scratch - I don't want to purchase a base. I have Blender and Substance. I understand that the general workflow is:

• Krita: Draw orthographic references from each cardinal direction
• Blender: Sculpt
• Retopologize
• Rig
• UV Unwrap
• Substance: Texture
• Unity: add expressions
• Upload

However, I'm pretty bad at drawing so I can't even get started lol

Any tips?

[somber sequoia]

sure, that's a way to do it.

(don't forget UV unwrap though, before Texturing)

[desert elk]

make it simplistic, one colour 👍
it depends on your vision tbh

gotta learn a bit of drawing at some point

[cerulean flax]

Where should I start with that?

[desert elk]

make your model first

you need the uv map to draw the textures correctly

[rancid wind]

nice....

[desert elk]

oh yeah

you need an official vrchat account and rank new user or higher

[cerulean flax]

Need references first.

That's why I'm asking about drawing

[desert elk]

have fun playing the game till then

[desert elk]

Pinterest, your imagination, i make my "inspo avatars" first in gacha club and recreating them after

[cerulean flax]

If you have any recommendations on learning how to draw I'd appreciate that

[desert elk]

i can't draw that well

i just do what feels correct 🤷

[somber sequoia]

I was once told a book called "Drawing on the right side of the brain" is a great place to start

[desert elk]

my drawing is limited to textures xD

[inland seal]

I still don't know what is the problem...

[still shuttle]

You can also find pre-made 2d art bases used for art references/character building and sculpt off of those if you can't draw. You could even commission an artist to draw them for you

[cerulean flax]

I'm poor

[desert elk]

so am i

[somber sequoia]

maybe if you have the 2D view also showing, this may help. Or show the layers list, are you trying to draw on a fill layer, for example?

[desert elk]

i use gacha club for references + my imagination
it's a free character making app for phones
i recreate avatars i make there + add more stuff in blender

[inland seal]

I cant even draw on the head at all

[somber sequoia]

again, the 2D view of the unwrapped UVs may help here.

[inland seal]

I closed it by accident and dont know where it is ;D

Found it @somber sequoia

[somber sequoia]

... that UV map looks a mess

[inland seal]

eh..

How do I fix that

[somber sequoia]

unwrap better

[inland seal]

and how do I unwrap 😭

[night ember]

That base model usually isnt that shit

[somber sequoia]

watch tutorials

[inland seal]

k

[inland seal]

Its a custom one

[night ember]

And?

[inland seal]

I made it 😭

Its my first time

[pine valley]

isn't that a Regulus base

the 2D view is confusing me: it looks like the tail's been overlaid on top of the rest of the texture

[somber sequoia]

it has

[pine valley]

Perhaps you're meant to have several materials

[somber sequoia]

which is going to make this basically impossible to do as-is.

[pine valley]

it'll be fine after fixing the material assignments

[somber sequoia]

it needs to be taken back into Blender and have the UV map rearranged sanely

I'd still do it with a single material.

[inland seal]

Its a regulus x Mayu base in one

[pine valley]

ah, I see

is it a Regulus head and a Mayu body?

[inland seal]

Also I fixed the UV maps

Idc if its bad looking

I just want to paint ;D

[pine valley]

that doesn't explain your problem, but it makes more sense at least

[inland seal]

Its fixed

[somber sequoia]

yeah that's not even remotely how I would lay it out. But sure.

[inland seal]

yey

[pine valley]

Oh, I see what was happening

[somber sequoia]

ideally you want the detailed areas larger, such as the face. And orientation will help you a LOT.

[pine valley]

The head's vertices all had UV coordinates of [0,0] (or any other fixed value)

[somber sequoia]

but hey, first time, have at it.

[inland seal]

ye

[inland seal]

Oh..

Now I see why UV maps are important ;D

[outer temple]

Im aware iam awfully news but if i wanted a texture or paint to matche can i just slaps a texture once i calculate the size of the skin or select specific areas in the 2d window?

substance painter btw

[glacial vale]

Does the build size viewer work still? its no longer showing up in my unity.

this is the file im using for it

[ivory wagon]

how do i fix this

[left gull]

it'd better to screenshot your console rather then post full text (its easier to read what actually an error or warning that way and avoids posting bloat texts)

[left gull]

are there any other red errors in the console or just those two?

[ivory wagon]

just these 2

[left gull]

well not able to see anything that actually describes what made it fail with the 2 screenshots you've sent

doesnt help stuff is cutoff either :P

[ivory wagon]

thats as much as i can show without having to scroll

[desert elk]

cut off on the side

[ivory wagon]

ohhh

i restarted my pc and got it to work

[cyan torrent]

why does the particle go up like that? I need it to stay in 1 place and dont find any option about velocity that havent already set at 0

[inland seal]

How to fix this error?

Blender*

Happens when I try to copy paste UV maps

[cunning swan]

ok my rig has 3 jaw bones and i want to have lip sync how would i do that

[desert elk]

do you have visemes for lipsync?

or do you want to use the jaw bones

[arctic ginkgo]

what is the start speed?

[cyan torrent]

its 1

ohhh

[arctic ginkgo]

start speed needs to be 0

[void kettle]

where do i go to be able to move these?

[desert elk]

if it's an avatar, you don't

it'll most likely break it

what are you trying to do?

[void kettle]

the wrist isnt connected to the elbow so it wont let it be a humanion rig

[desert elk]

you need to fix it in blender

you can't move the bones around here

open the fbx in blender and set the wrists parent to be the elbow

[void kettle]

It won’t let me

[desert elk]

won't let you what?

[void kettle]

move it

or set a parent

[desert elk]

how are you trying to do it?

[void kettle]

I first tried dragging it to the elbow, then I opened the bone menu and it said parent and it won’t let me change it

[desert elk]

click the armature
enter edit mode
click wrist bone
click the green bone menu
expand relations
set parent to the elbow

is that also not working?

[void kettle]

I’ll see if that’s what I did

[inner hemlock]

someone know why I cant upload Quest version? the pc version works and the Q version is ready and set to upload but I cant upload it qwq

[raw spindle]

check the SDK Problems see what it says

check this

[lean plank]

can i make a phys bone only react to people grabbing it and not me moving around?

[compact dust]

yeah just use immobile i think

[raw spindle]

ye immobiel

[lean plank]

it makes it tweak out in game

it just shakes like crazy

[late heath]

i think i still need help

[pine valley]

what does this toggle actually do?

[late heath]

let me open unity so i can give a more detailed explanation

[dapper echo]

What the heck does this even mean?

[late heath]

i use vrcfury for toggles to speed up my process
i have multiple toggles and it seems like the most of them are having the same problem
im not sure what the vrcfury toggles do exactly but this is what the onesie toggle looks like in my project at least

[pine valley]

you're using Object Toggle actions, so that's going to activate/deactivate entire game objects

[pine valley]

is this error causing the editor to open into safe mode, or is it just popping up once?

[dapper echo]

It's not safe mode, but it pops up whenever I try to upload my avatar.

It just won't let me upload.

[pine valley]

I would close your project, delete the Library folder from its root directory, and reopen the project.

that clears up a lot of very odd issues

[late heath]

is it because i have multiple objects inside of a package? ive used vrcfury for toggles before i think i need to look at my previous projects to see what i did different

[pine valley]

no, toggling objects on and off should never cause that weird shadowing

[dapper echo]

I guess I'll just delete the burst cache folder. I've never seen this before in my 3 years of avatar creation.

[pine valley]

That should also clear it up

[dapper echo]

Hopefully.

[pine valley]

The only thing that comes to mind is that antivirus programs can prevent Unity from opening or modifying DLLs that it has generated

I've seen that happen once or twice before

(because they're busy snooping around in the DLL)

[dapper echo]

Didn't do anything.

[pine valley]

nuke the whole Library folder so that it has to do a complete reimport

there's something wrong in there

[dapper echo]

Alright.

That worked, thanks.

[winter edge]

Does anyone know what could cause different lighting between hair and body mesh in specific worlds like popcorn time?

My anchor overrides are set and the avatar testing world the min brightness is working properly. Using liltoon if that helps

[night ember]

every world has different lighting

[void kettle]

how do i get the outfit to stick to the model? i added the outfit on nlender btw

[radiant bobcat]

do i have neck 1 in the right place? also i have no idea what bones im supposed to use for the torso

[desert elk]

what are you trying to do?

make a vrm or a VRChat avatar?

[left gull]

weight paint the outfit meshes to your rig (or if the clothes are already rigged make sure the outfit's bone names are the same as your body's bone names)

[barren wharf]

hey when i take off the clothes from my avatar in vrchat and play mode, there's no belly

like there'll just be the upper chest, legs, and arms

[desert elk]

because it probably doesn't exist

[winter edge]

Is there a good tutorial somewhere for getting lighting consistent across worlds for liltoon?

[desert elk]

if the avatar originally came with those clothes

it's very likely that the mesh doesn't exist

[barren wharf]

but it does in the editor

[desert elk]

to avoid clipping

[desert elk]

what do you mean?

[barren wharf]

like

if i untick the checkbox for the clothes the belly shows

but if i do it in play mode or vrchat, it dosen't

[left gull]

ah active blendshapes

[desert elk]

okay, could be a Blendeshape

[left gull]

theres likely an animation that toggles some blendshapes to hide the belly and such

[barren wharf]

how would i be able to tell

[left gull]

to check if its actually the case while in playmode click your models body mesh and see if any shapekey/blendshapes are active

but to change it you'd have to find whatever animation is shrinking it down and edit it to remove those properties

[radiant bobcat]

i guess both

its for deskmate but i also want to have it correctly rigged so i can use it and other fortnite models as vrchat skins

[left gull]

for the steamgame that makes your model into a desktop pet?

[radiant bobcat]

yeah

it has mod support surprisingly

all you need for a custom model is a vrm file

[radiant bobcat]

i managed to get further but im not even sure a couple of these are right

[left gull]

yeah ive made a few myself, for the best outcome make your rig setup work like vrchat rigs (#avatar-rigging message) and follow the same logic you would for quest where you delete any unused meshes or meshes that you wouldnt see that're under clothing, then once done merge all of them into a single mesh and atlas the texture. For the converting part i personally just convert it into a VRM in unity since it feels quicker

[barren wharf]

but when i click it in the editor....

[void kettle]

like this?

[barren wharf]

@left gullit was modular avatar fucking it up

[left gull]

sorry your pings didnt give me a notif but glad you fixed it!

[left gull]

err i dont think so? there shouldnt be a reason to be looking at the modifiers you need to be looking at the bone heirarchy or each bone in edit mode for the outfit and body rigs

[void kettle]

Oh so I need the amrature for the clothes?

[left gull]

if the model is actually rigged it should have the modifier already

[void kettle]

I added the clothes on!

And they had armatures when I added them

[frozen prism]

Ran into a really strange thing helping a friend with their avatar
Part of an outfit is added using modular avatar, but in-game that part stretches out some 100m away from the avatar
However it only shows up in-game, in the editor whether in play mode or with a manually baked avatar it appears fine
gesture manager running or not it looks fine in the editor
even uploading a manual baked avatar that looks fine in the editor produces the weird effect only in-game

Has anyone run into this before?

[patent geyser]

how do i see contacts in unity

[night ember]

gizmos

[stone sphinx]

just a quick question: How do u fix the issue where you can see the hair through the whites of the eyes?

[night ember]

what

[stone sphinx]

its the light brown in the eyes, i cant really recreate it in unity but in-game its noticeable

[night ember]

dont have the hair clipping in the head

[stone sphinx]

hmm okay

[torpid oriole]

got this tryna upload an avi

[pine valley]

You currently have warnings disabled. Turn them on and look at them

All of the messages in the conosle are just "it didn't work" right now

[visual tartan]

anybody know textures better then me im trying too get the head and body the same color but im having a hard time

[visual tartan]

if your using creator companion just change poiyomi version

update it

[torpid oriole]

thats not the issue those r warnings not errors

[grave crypt]

my avatar is taking forever to upload. it's been compiling shaders for like ten minutes. i'm using poiyomi and i made sure to lock all the materials beforehand. i've tried restarting unity and my whole pc, and it's still taking forever. any suggestions?

[austere sphinx]

can someone help me why my blend shape cannot detect even though i already make the blend shape key in blender? i'm totally new with unity

[ornate stump]

If you had unapplied modifier in blender, other than armature, shapekeys will not get exported.

[austere sphinx]

you're life saver thank you!

[cyan torrent]

what with my avatar and being both poor and ok ? is it just a visual bug?

[fallow gulch]

Maybe that is something to do with security checks...?
I also have that with a few avatars, I'm pretty sure

[heavy zephyr]

I think it's because one is the server rating and the other is the rating you got via upload

Those can differ since the server check is more accurate

[idle jetty]

Does anyone know how to toggle a unhideable object in unity I can’t seem to hide the object on my avatar

[night ember]

Unlock it

Or are you sure you sre toggling the right thing

[grand iris]

what is thiss

[night ember]

Whered you get the avatar

[grand iris]

Idk if its just a model or clothes

[night ember]

That was made before physbones

You need to import dynamic bone then convert

[grand iris]

I don’t even know about those T_T

It feels like i just got my self a avatar and not knowing what to do lol

I thought it be straight forward and upload

Its my first time

[twin raft]

you don’t need dynamic bones, just get the vr labs stub

[fallow gulch]

https://github.com/VRLabs/Dynamic-Bones-Stub

[austere sphinx]

anyone now how to fix this?

also i face other problem too like this

even though the bone already correct? (i might be wrong)

[fallow gulch]

The head bone and head mesh are called the same
You gotta rename the head mesh to something else

[fallow gulch]

If you scroll down on the right, there should be an arrow that opens a dropdown, where you can select the "enforce T pose" option

[austere sphinx]

i change the name at hierarchy but doesnt work, is there other way to change it?

[fallow gulch]

This is about importing, so.. it has to be named correctly on import
Which means you gotta change the name in Blender

[austere sphinx]

ah that is the problem, gonna try it

[balmy barn]

spine, hip , chest ? ( hip - spine - chest - upper chest ) , lots of _End bones you dont really need

[austere sphinx]

many thanks, you're life saver

[austere sphinx]

ah this one i follow from the tutorial, so i dont really know much

[austere sphinx]

is there a way to make it better? really appreciate if there is tutorial or something else (so far i dont find the best way of it)

[balmy barn]

its skipping a bone in the hiarchy , naming dont really matter much but leaving one bone not assigned 🤷‍♂️ (wheres spine not hips)

[desert elk]

disable leaf bones

when exporting from blender

you don't really need the root bone for vrc avatars

[austere sphinx]

i see, many thanks all of you guys, i learning a lot today ❤️

[grand iris]

@fallow gulch @twin raft when i use the stubss it worked! TY

[fallow gulch]

Glad it helped out!

You must obtain at least "New User" Trust Rank in our Trust and Safety system in order to upload content. You can get this by just spending a few hours in VRChat, hop some worlds, and make some friends. Give it some time and you'll be able to upload content in no time.

As an aside, you must have a VRChat account to upload content. That means you can't use a Steam account, Oculus account, or Viveport account to upload content like worlds or avatars.

[nocturne tendon]

can someone help me with the full body and IK tracking error?

[frail temple]

Post the skeleton

[ornate stump]

You very likely had incorrect hip bone assigned in rig configuration.

[nocturne tendon]

the two orange highlighted bones are thigh bones, I'm currently in edit mode

I appeared to have fixed the right hip and right thigh bones but I dont remember how.

speaking of hips, here are the hip bones

highlighted in orange, of course

[ornate stump]

Those aren't the hips as required by unity.

[nocturne tendon]

oh wait, so in unity when i went to configure the rig, it says the automatic set "Hip" bone was this model's "WAIST" bone

[ornate stump]

Also bone orirentations are incorrect to begin with.

[nocturne tendon]

okay now I'm getting a headache

[nocturne tendon]

i dont mean to sound rude but, what do you mean by that?

[ornate stump]

All your bone diection is pointing forward. The correct bone should look like this #1139228456090087495 message

[nocturne tendon]

so just grab the balls of the bones with the G key and move them forward/rotate them forward with the R key then?

[finite karma]

so i have removed 3 bones for each string of bones, and i have moved them, now the ear work fine with the earring. but even with physbones. my asset is motionless, why ?

[near rover]

i was wondering if anyone knows how to make a toggle turn off when u toggle one on cause i have a few outfits and it would help

[fallow gulch]

You can either put these outfits on the same logic layer in the FX controller, to create exclusive toggles
Or you can use a parameter driver on the on animation of the clothes to turn off something else

[quaint hound]

what tohru said but you could also

make the current outfit parameters into a integer parameter

[near rover]

also i dont really like radial wheel 2

gulp

[quaint hound]

then have your menu options change the value of the integer

[near rover]

also u guys talking smart🙏

[quaint hound]

im at school rn i cant help

[near rover]

oh ok

[quaint hound]

its a radial wheel? wut?

how much unity knowledge do u have

[near rover]

give me a sec ill take a ss

[quaint hound]

esp. blendtrees

[near rover]

gulp some ive started a few months ago

[quaint hound]

what abt blendtrees specifically?

[near rover]

only radial wheel

[quaint hound]

can u send me a picture of ur blendtree (wherever the toggles r in) and the parameters?

[quaint hound]

uses bools interesting

[near rover]

yeah

[quaint hound]

look at blendtrees like code

for every animation you have “if THIS then DO THAT”

[near rover]

gulp

[quaint hound]

when hairs is at 10%, turn material 1 on

and so forth

[near rover]

gulp

the wheel works but im jus tryna see who knows how to do different toggles

yk

[quaint hound]

i know

but doesnt this technically work then?

[near rover]

yeah

but im jus kinda picky idk

[quaint hound]

so wait everything works flawlessly u just dont like the radial

[near rover]

yup..

[quaint hound]

thats it? no problems?

[near rover]

no problems

[quaint hound]

u could.do that pretty simple

[near rover]

idk how to...

[quaint hound]

so this is fixed? or wut

[near rover]

yeah the radial wheel

i was just looking how to do multiple toggles for like outfits instead

yk

[quaint hound]

do u know how to set up menus

[near rover]

like the sub menus and shi?

[quaint hound]

ya

[near rover]

yuh

[quaint hound]

so i dont have the exact like how it works in my head or what options a button has (cuz im at school and cant look)

[near rover]

gulp

k

thanks

[fallow gulch]

If you can spare the memory, you can just do a normal int
If you can't, then you gotta use a local only int, and use IsLocal to separate the logic into Local and Remote
On local, you'd use parameter drivers to set bool values to true or false, and that is what you'd use for remote

[quaint hound]

merz can u send me ur params

[near rover]

gulp

[fallow gulch]

Kinda like this

[near rover]

looks so compp

im kinda slow chat

[near rover]

yeah need to re open it

[fallow gulch]

If you have a bunch of parameter memory free on the avatar, then don't worry about this for now

[near rover]

this stuff?

[quaint hound]

yea like i thought

the clothing things r floats

[fallow gulch]

Yes, you have a bunch free, so you gotta be fine

[near rover]

had to for radial wheel

[quaint hound]

they’re already float params

[near rover]

idk how to do that tho the thing u said

[fallow gulch]

Yeah, I see hehe

[quaint hound]

so all he has to do is change the menu to be buttons to set the float to a specific value

[fallow gulch]

This is fine, since you are not low on parameter space

So dw about it

[fallow gulch]

Yeah, guess that works
Just a bit jank to do it like that

But it works

[quaint hound]

you could make these buttons? i think

[fallow gulch]

You could use a local int that sets the float values

[near rover]

it would work for quest also?

[quaint hound]

just use buttons to set float 💔 i think

jank is fine i think

[fallow gulch]

Yes, but make sure that the parameter list is the same on both platforms, or things will desync between PC and Quest

[near rover]

gulp

k

[quaint hound]

i dont know how toggles can untoggle other toggles, do u @fallow gulch ?

[near rover]

so if i change it to button itll work?

like my radial wheel

gulp

[fallow gulch]

Parameter. Drivers.

[near rover]

im so losstt😭 🙏

[quaint hound]

im pretty sure.. u gotta make sure to make submenus to fit all the buttons for different outfits in

[near rover]

gulp

k

[quaint hound]

so replace all of the radials with submenus full of buttons

[quaint hound]

ok 2 words dont really help

[near rover]

k

[fallow gulch]

I explained them in detail before :P

[quaint hound]

for example, if a toggle sets a parameter to “5” and a different toggle sets it to “4”, does the 5 toggle turn off?

[balmy barn]

easymode

[fallow gulch]

Well... if you do write defaults on.... and you have the layers set up in that way...

[near rover]

gulp

[quaint hound]

i know these pictures are helpful but also dont explain shit…

all it tells me is “do that. not this. why? fuck u thats why.”

[fallow gulch]

Basically this works with Write Defaults on, which is the default workflow
If one doesn't know what Write Defaults are, then they have it on anyways

[near rover]

gulp

[quaint hound]

i appreciate you trying to help though

[balmy barn]

i dont do walkthrough or step by step, parameter = 0 go here 1 2 ect

[quaint hound]

no… alot of premade sold models often have mixed WDs

know this because im using one with mixed wds

[fallow gulch]

I mean.. what do you want to hear?
An explanation about what Write Defaults is?
A solution for both WD on and WD off?
A good solution?
Or a jank one that will work for now?

[quaint hound]

(i have no clue what wds r)

[fallow gulch]

Mixed WD is bad, with the only exception being Direct Blend Trees

Mixed WD breaks stuff otherwise

[quaint hound]

mixed bad why?

everything seems to work

ill check em latar tho

shouldnt be mixed eitherway but i never understood why

[fallow gulch]

Because if you have a mainly WD on avatar, introducing even 1 single WD off state will stop Unity from writing defaults for everything

[quaint hound]

oh 💔 so its just using WD off?

[fallow gulch]

This means that your facial expressions will get stuck, if they are set up in a WD on way

And whatever else relied on WD on, will also break

So yeah... don't mix WD stuff, unless it is a WD on Direct Blend Tree in a WD off controller

But DBTs are a story for another time

[south ruin]

Hello, I was wondering if someone has an idea with installing the appropriate version of UdonSharp with the 2022.3.22f1 version of Unity? I kept on getting errors whenever I Install UdonSharp and I can't seem to find a decent repository that's applicable for the said version.

Thank you in advance!

[ornate stump]

This channel is for avatar creation which is not the same as world creation. And your answer is Udonsharp is now a part of SDK world package and you should no longer have to manually import the Udonsharp.

[south ruin]

sorry about that, thank you so much for the information as well!

I'm new to these types of stuff hahaha 😅

[karmic spindle]

can someone help me im new to avatar uploading and i got kind of a problem i got a avatar and in unity the avatar is kinda fine the quest model of the avatar is fine but the pc version of the avatar is completly pink

i dont know how to fix this issue

[desert elk]

you're missing the shader

check the instructions you probably missed it

[quaint hound]

you probably need poiyomi or some other shader

[karmic spindle]

ye i checked the avatar i need poiyomi shader

[fallow gulch]

https://github.com/poiyomi/PoiyomiToonShader/releases

Get the latest .unitypackage here, and add that to your project

[quaint hound]

or add it to ur vcc so you can put it in ur project when you make it… but u already have one so do what tohru said

[karmic spindle]

got it just needed to put in the shader and autofix some stuff ^^

[quaint hound]

yup

[karmic spindle]

and now its stuck at building avatar

[fallow gulch]

Is it stuck?
How long has it been?

[karmic spindle]

now like about 7mins

[fallow gulch]

Also.. is there no window at the center of Unity that shows that it is building shaders?

[karmic spindle]

nope

[fallow gulch]

Then try to restart Unity

[karmic spindle]

just the building avatar bar

[fallow gulch]

And try again

This happens sometimes

[karmic spindle]

nope doesnt work

[rustic tide]

anyone know if you can force the viewport away from were you are activly looking...
like if i flip the head around on the avatar i want to see behind me out of the head instead of the default viewport... is that possible in any way?

[fallow gulch]

If you override your view by using a camera, this is possible
On desktop, this is easy, but VR needs some tinkering with the values to get it right

[rustic tide]

thats what i suspected.... having the distance between two cameras be the correct distance seems like quite the feat to get just right.... + i have genuinly no idea how to use render textures. never needed to yet.

[fallow gulch]

In theory, if you place a camera on your avi without a render texture, then it will just override your view as is

It doesn't have to be perfect, but if it's close enough, that's already great

[rustic tide]

oh really? do i have to do anything specific to the camera?

and for vr. in that case. do i need 1 or 2 cameras?

[fallow gulch]

Not really
But I'd try an FOV of around 90-95 or so

I'm not sure how well 1 camera works, but you can't have 2 cameras overriding your view at the same time
Maybe with some cool shader you could do... only overriding 1 eye per render texture (yes in this case you'd need render textures)

[rustic tide]

okay last question... if i toggle the camera off and on it should switch between that and the default viewport?

[fallow gulch]

Yes, it does

I only tried the override without a render texture once, and it wasn't even my intention
It was just a mistake, cause I forgot the render texture lol

But it should work

[rustic tide]

ill give it a try then!

now to figure out how to not render the face mesh in the camera.... if i headchop it from the head (cause its not on the same bone as the head) will it still be chopped in the camera? i guese ill try it out

[fallow gulch]

If the camera is close to your head, it shouldn't show your head I think

[rustic tide]

the head does not counst as the head... cause its not on my head XD

[fallow gulch]

But maybe that is a property that only takes place when you are looking at yourself from first person

Ah, fair enough

[rustic tide]

i have 2 neck and 2 head bones cause i can move the head around a lil extra... thats why i needed the camera so i could use it to see out of were the head was

[fallow gulch]

Yeah, that makes sense

[rustic tide]

posted a video in #avatar-dynamics were you can see the reason it needed to be on its own bone lol

[fallow gulch]

Aye, I see
Makes sense then lol

[rustic tide]

man now im exited to try out the avatar in vr to see if it works!.... but i just rememberd i need to charge the trackers and controllersXD

[frail temple]

Is there a way to edit the default idle animation for standing? i don't really need a custom one but for some reason the fingers on the default animations look weird just on standing and maybe even moving, on Full body tracking or a quest it looks completely fine

[rustic tide]

yes its possible... you go into the animation tree that handles the animations and just swap out the idle one for the one you want to use.

[frail temple]

No i meant i want to just edit the finger bones of the default ones, i don't really want a completely custom animation

[rustic tide]

i dont remember the name of the animation thingie and i cant check cause my unity is currently frozen lol

[rustic tide]

yea

just gotta find the default animation itself and animate the fingers on it to bewere you want them...

[fallow gulch]

If you don't have a base layer assigned, then go to Packages > Sdk > Examples > Controllers, and find the one for the base layer
Duplicate it, move it over to the Assets folder, and assign it to your avatar
After that, you can find the idle animation in this controller, and now you can find the animation

[frail temple]

Is that the case for GoGo Loco aswell?

[rustic tide]

dunno, never used gogoloco

[wary perch]

One of my avatar buttons keeps breaking, displaying as "button text" with no icon, or functionality. What causes this, and why does it keep happening over and over again? This is now the 10th time it has happened.

I was going to go to bed until that happened, and now I have to fix it.

[rustic tide]

oops XD

[inland seal]

I'm having 2 UV maps for head and body but there is a small part around the head and body aka between them that I want to be only in head UV. How do I do that?

The part btw

I dont want this ring to be in body

I want it to be removed

[rustic tide]

on the other uv just scale it to 0 and put it in a corner?

[inland seal]

That will work?

Wont it like overlap?

[rustic tide]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wary perch]

Please @ or DM me if you have a fix for this. I want to go to bed, and it's very late for me. I want to fix it, but maybe not when I'm sleep deprived.

[rustic tide]

i dont see why it should

[inland seal]

I mean its the same UV, so it should?

[rustic tide]

say what the issue is first

[inland seal]

But Ill try

[rustic tide]

never hurts to experiment... time for both of us to learn something new :D

[wary perch]

The button isn't displaying the actual name of the button, nor does it have an icon, nor any functionality.

Meanwhile, in the project, everything looks just fine.

[rustic tide]

could you show taht?

and also very dumb question... but is the menu you made the same one that is assigned to the avatar? XD

[inland seal]

True true

[wary perch]

This has happened with numerous other avatars, but this avatar literally ONLY has this.

With other avatars, I assumed it was a problem with there simply being too many toggles, and buttons. Now there's 0 excuse.

Is this a bug with the SDK, should I update?

[rustic tide]

might be worth a try atealst

[wary perch]

I guess if not, someone will likely have some kinda fix.

[fallow gulch]

Well if you got GoGo, you can look through the GoGo base layer to find the correct animation, yes

[fallow gulch]

So close lol

[rustic tide]

it should be at the right position.... i need to look into it more but it seems like the camera just auto defaults to 0.0.0 on the headbone...... i dont need to say another word cause i think i just solved my own issue

i gotta test it now

[fallow gulch]

Yay

[rustic tide]

i think the issue was that i had it under the normal head so it got scaled down to 0... no matter how much i moved it, it would end up at 0 0 0

[fallow gulch]

You could headchop the camera on the head to make it keep its scale
Or do that with an empty that you put on your head, that the camera goes on

[fallow gulch]

Yep

So put a headchop on the cam and don't let it scale down

[rustic tide]

i never understood the headchop.... do i put it on the head and select the parts i dont want shrunk? or?

[fallow gulch]

Put it on the camera
Target the head with it
Make both sliders 1, and.. I think that's all...?

[rustic tide]

oh ill try

also.... how to i make the camera not ignore post processing?

its alot colder.... (and 90 fov is a bit high for desktop lol)

[fallow gulch]

Add a "Flare" layer

I think that's it...?

It's a component

[fallow gulch]

You can make desktop / vr specific animations that set the fov to a different value, based on the platform you are playing on

[rustic tide]

flare layer?

[fallow gulch]

Also, make sure to use IsLocal, so others don't have your camera enabled

[rustic tide]

smart

[rustic tide]

XD uhm i nearly forgot

[fallow gulch]

Yeah, pretty sure you can just search for Flare as a component and add it to the camera

[inland seal]

Why does it pick my body UV map and doesnt show the head

[fallow gulch]

Ye cause if you animate a cam component on, it will actually be on for remote as well

[inland seal]

Like it doesnt display this

[rustic tide]

layer i assume?

[somber sequoia]

upper right - you have two materials, those turn into two different texture sets in substance

[fallow gulch]

Yes

[rustic tide]

awsome

[fallow gulch]

And make the camers see all layers ig...?
That should be all

[inland seal]

So I need to assign one material on both on them?

[somber sequoia]

if you do that you'd need to redo the UV maps so those islands don't overlap

[inland seal]

Is there other way?

[somber sequoia]

no

[inland seal]

Great ;D

How do I remove parts from UV map?

Like this one

[somber sequoia]

remove? Each thing on a uv map represents something on the model

go remove that part from the model

[rustic tide]

make it not part of the mesh....

[somber sequoia]

yeah "mesh" is what I mean, to be clear.

[wary perch]

Ok, I literally cannot add custom buttons to this avatar, and this avatar specifically. I've fixed it with others, but not even updating the SDK fixed this problem. I'm completely lost.

[inland seal]

But I added it using UnWrap

If you can add it on UV map, cant you remove it?

[somber sequoia]

no, it wasn't "added"

[inland seal]

ah

[somber sequoia]

All parts of a mesh are always on a UV map, even if all the points are stacked up at 0,0

[inland seal]

So do I put the UV of my head on the same UV or make a new one?

A separate one

[somber sequoia]

what's your goal, one single material where you currently have two?

[inland seal]

Actually..

well now its 2 materials

[somber sequoia]

pretty typical

again, what is your goal here?

[inland seal]

Ig to Make a UV map for Head and a UV map for Body

Since body is done currently I need head

[somber sequoia]

Both have UV maps already

[inland seal]

They do?

[somber sequoia]

you showed images of them

[wary perch]

How do I create a thread for the bug I keep running into? I need to find a fix for it.

[inland seal]

ye

But its broken in Substance Painter

[somber sequoia]

how so? You just have to select the correct texture set (i.e. material) in substance

you cannot paint both at the same time

[inland seal]

a..

[somber sequoia]

?

[inland seal]

:/

Idk what it wants from me 😭

The Uv maps are done

[somber sequoia]

I'm not sure what this image is trying to convey

[inland seal]

I cant paint on head

[somber sequoia]

select the correct texture map

[inland seal]

where?
