avatar-help

[quartz willow]

thats what i did but had it shade smooth because the body has some angles over 180 that dont look right unless smooth

for the eyes and stuff

[arctic ginkgo]

there's no angle over 180

i think it's smallest angle or something

because even if one side is over 180 it still shades smooth

[quartz willow]

then idk what was happening with it

[arctic ginkgo]

this cube for example has inset and extruded face that's scaled up so it makes an angle>180

everything still shades smooth

this is autosmooth set to 180

180 is the max angle for autosmooth

so it must check the smallest angle between external and internal angle

since those always add up to 360 the smallest can't be greater than 180

[arctic ginkgo]

if it's shading them with split normals than it could be these issues:

1. there are sharps on those edges
2. the normals are inverted
3. there are custom normals on the model that split the normals between the faces

[warped scroll]

Anyone got an idea why my slinger isn't arming?

[chilly aurora]

does this look properly configured?

additionally do i need to make a parameters file for this? the contactor says that's not needed but maybe it is to use it in the animator?

[timber wharf]

no need. as it says at the bottom of 4th pic

when using motion time, dont forget to uncheck loop on clip or 1 becomes 0

[ripe pond]

My avi cloth keep on not properly attcah to the base plz help

[desert elk]

you should use blender instead of the unity plugin to convert a vrm to fbx

the unity origins cause a lot of issues

and blender takes like 4 minutes

the root bone your avatar has is useless

anywho, I don't know how modular works, I could tell you how to attach it manually in either blender or unity

I think modular requires some sort of extra thing but I'm not sure

[ornate stump]

Did you put merge armature component?

[ripe pond]

Yes I have

[ornate stump]

Screenshot the component.

[ripe pond]

It have the EXCACT same setting as the last one I did however the difference is that That one work and this one don't

[ornate stump]

Can you double check that merge target is the base avatar armature and not the Root of the cloth itself?

[ripe pond]

Yes I have check and it is not the only other cause that i can think of is that this project is a direct Ctrl-C Ctrl-V of teh working project

[ornate stump]

How is it isn't working?

[ripe pond]

that

the cloth disconnect from it intended target

[ornate stump]

Screenshot the the hip bone hierarchy of both armature.

[pulsar marsh]

Hi everyone, i am trying to figure out why my characters (the guy) lighting is so weird would anyone maybe know why?

The Face and Body were 2 different FBX and materials

[ornate stump]

Make sure that both, or all material, is using same shader and same lighting settings.

[pulsar marsh]

oh yes okay im using the poyoomi shader in unity so ill sift through and compare?

[ripe pond]

btw here is the hieriche of teh base

[ornate stump]

Yes.

[ornate stump]

It should already works. Did you manually bake every time you changed something?

[ripe pond]

YES it it have been for 10 time alrady

[ripe pond]

Actualy the originaly mesh hieriche have the cloth inside a sub component as well

[ornate stump]

Click on Adjust bone name button and see how it works out.

[ripe pond]

I alrady did that and it still not work

I might switch to VRCFury for now

[fringe lava]

I'm making clothing for a model I use, when I import the FBX with the updated shape keys all the shape keys are bugged, despite working fine in blender.

if somebody could hmu with help or respond here It would really be awesome.

[ripe pond]

can you afford reexport from blender and reimport to unity? that might work

[fringe lava]

did that twice, tried with different settings even started from a fresh copy of the base mesh but it doesn't fix the problem.

textures work fine, skeleton works fine but just not shapekeys

[ripe pond]

This might help there a related post on unity discussion forums https://discussions.unity.com/t/how-can-i-properly-import-the-blendshapes-shapekeys-made-on-blender-to-unity-game/1617837

[fringe lava]

while I appreciate the help I've seen this link before and it does not address the issue I'm having wherein all shapekey sliders contrl the same shapekey when brought into unity.

[spare dome]

I DID It

My god people who do this for a living have the patience of a saint

[ripe pond]

In that case, sorry that I can't be of help.

[desert elk]

do you have any unapplyed modifiers?

[fringe lava]

nope just the armature.

but that gets applied during export to fbx

[junior void]

you will need to double check your shape keys in blender

sometimes, the base one gets shredded which you dont see if you have any other active that mask it, making you think its fine in blender but not in unity

[tepid kite]

I need help every time I try to set up FBT with my new quest 3 and I take off the headset, when I put it back on all of my Vive trackers shift to a different position and I have to recalibrate

[balmy barn]

yeh thats fun, if you use virtual desktop there is a setting to remember room somewhere but often it doesnt behave when you take off headset

[tepid kite]

What’s the point then. I need to take off my headset after calibrating the first two trackers, then take it off again after the third tracker so I can strap everything on

[balmy barn]

only need to calibrate one tracker , rest dont need to

whenever im in fbt i turn them all on, hold one in hand then flail around its done room calibrating

my vr time usually 8-12 hours and a chance to drift if it take it off but its like <1 min flail one tracker if it happens

[cosmic crater]

i keep on getting this error. Any ideas?

[fringe lava]

My earlier issue fixed itself. Dunno how but it did.

does anybody know a good tutorial for how to add a item toggle to the radial menu?

[timid kite]

do i need a blendshape for cloth pulling?

[somber sequoia]

can you show us the rest of that right-most image?

[north sonnet]

Hey that his like the 3 times i try to upload an avatar on quest but everytime it says security checks failed once uploaded

[somber sequoia]

posting in one place is ideal.
Can you show the stats from the SDK's build report?

[somber sequoia]

yeah, that's not a surprise

I don't see anything immediately obvious, but this is so far into VeryPoor I'm not surprised the checker found something

[north sonnet]

Should i try to optimize it ?

[somber sequoia]

I would

[north sonnet]

Ok ill try but im not sure ill make it

Thanks for the help

[balmy barn]

look at your fbx if it has any import errors

[somber sequoia]

yeah that all looks good otherwise

[cosmic crater]

how can I see that? (i am really new to this sorry)

[balmy barn]

click fbx, go to inspector its where you set it to be humanoid sometime it gives an error if a mesh have same name as a humanoid bone is one

[cosmic crater]

this menu right? I'm not seeing anything wrong myself

[somber sequoia]

yeah that's the place

[cosmic crater]

welp. theres no import errors. now what?

[cosmic crater]

i figured out my problem. i was uploading it incorectly

[forest bramble]

im trying to make visemes for an avatar im importing and i dont know how to get the shape key visemes to work as it the mouth works through shader nodes

[somber sequoia]

you don't

you animate that yourself

use the Viseme parameter

[balmy barn]

exsample using blendtree

(see number = viseme , using one texture and uv offset/scaling)

[forest bramble]

thank you

[timid kite]

contact receiver question. is there a way for the contact to stay pressed instead of effect going away after u mopve ur hand?

[arctic ginkgo]

No, just use the data to set up logic for how you want it to behave

Like a ballpoint pen, they have those clicky buttons, those don't stay pressed after you let go, but they have mechanical logic that makes the action continue after you let go, so every other press does the same thing

You just need to set up the logic for it in your animation controller

It should look something like this

(If contact = true)
Off2>On1

(If contact = false)
On1>On2

(If contact = true)
On2>Off1

(If contact = false)
Off1>Off2

Btw the 1 and 2s have the same animation. The point of the transition is to check whether the contact has been let go or not so it can wait for a second press

[forest bramble]

when in blender it still has the mouth but when importing into unity it doesnt kepp any of the nodes for the face shapes

[somber sequoia]

yes, you'll need to do that entirely in unity

nothing about procedural materials in Blender will come over to Unity

[grand geyser]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[night ember]

Just make the slider manually but also no as thats just vrchat sliders

[mental estuary]

I think they meant can they do things at 0, 50, and 100, or in different intervals

If they want that, Flipbook Builder in a VRCFury slider, otherwise make the animation yourself and put it into a VRCFury slider

[grand geyser]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[mental estuary]

Flipbook Builder then

Put a mat swap action in each page of the flipbook builder. The flipbook builder goes in the VRCFury slider's action slot

[split apex]

anyone know how to sort this clipping onto the tassals

[somber sequoia]

How did you set this up, decal, or painted right onto the texture?

[split apex]

in substance

i just dragged it onto the sweats

[somber sequoia]

probably then mask out the strings when doing that, so it doesn't apply there too

[split apex]

how would i do that

[somber sequoia]

make a mask for that texture, make it white where you want it to apply and black where you don't.

[split apex]

i might understand

like this?

[somber sequoia]

there are lots of ways to do this

I'd probably just make a mask for that texture and use the UV islands paint mode to select just the island where I want the texture to apply. I'm sure there are tutorials.

[split apex]

ill try find

[dire dock]

Does someone know how to fix it? 🙂

[icy pendant]

Can anyone help me upload my avatar? it doesn't show the model in unity on the screen and I need help. (No I am not paying for help)

[desert elk]

is it a bought avatar? does it have instructions?

bought avatars usually have a scene that you open or a prefab you drag to the hierarchy

i assume "doesn't show" means it's not in the hierarchy like it should be

[fringe lava]

can anybody help me setup toggles for clothing

[somber sequoia]

what exactly do you need help with?

[fringe lava]

I followed a couple tutorials but they all don't work when tested.

[fringe lava]

just toggling on and off pieces of clothing

[somber sequoia]

need more info - show one of those transitions. also make sure you've turned off "can transition to self"

[fringe lava]

I don't know what you just said

[somber sequoia]

A transition in the animator is one of those lines between states.

[desert elk]

what tutorial are you following?
tbh, i've never seem any state used for on/off toggles

[somber sequoia]

eh, it seems to happen a lot

[desert elk]

is it like a more fancy way or something?

[somber sequoia]

I wouldn't, but hey, whatever.

[desert elk]

same here

that's why i'm curious what tutorial it was

[somber sequoia]

it's significantly worse for performance though if you leave that checkbox I mentioned active

[fringe lava]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyOTDsNihBk&t=317s

I was doing this but changing it to booleans to toggle between two states

[desert elk]

oh you want a radial toggles?

that's not how to do that either

[somber sequoia]

I usually direct people here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqtSg6_W07Y

[desert elk]

..

i''m lost

[fringe lava]

no I just want on and off

[desert elk]

yes! here

this video is so easy to follow

you should do it according to this

the props part is what you want

[somber sequoia]

I do mine with direct blend trees, but that's a bit advanced 🙂

[fringe lava]

will follow this?

[desert elk]

yes

or this photo

plus add bools with the same name to the parameters of the fx and the normal parameters

in this case it's "Wings"

[somber sequoia]

I'm sorry, what are you asking me?

[desert elk]

i assume "do i follow this?"

[somber sequoia]

uh... if you want?

[fringe lava]

no sorry was typing fast. I am following that.

[somber sequoia]

ah ok

[prisma thunder]

How do you stop an animation from looping?

Just want a book to open when my hand is open, and close when it's not

[somber sequoia]

there's a checkbox on the clip itself. also if you're doing this via AnyState, turn off "can transition to self" on all of the transitions

[prisma thunder]

Ah, thanks mate!

All of my animations were a few hours long because of this haha!

After the animation ends, it can't be affected by any other animations it seems

Unless I did something wrong here

[spare dome]

Okay question how to I code the avi to be able to toggle between outfits

[desert elk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqtSg6_W07Y

here's a tutorial

easy to follow

if your outfits aren't already all on the avatar you'll need to attach them

either in blender or in unity

[spare dome]

I just watched this video. I still don’t understand.

[somber sequoia]

feel free to ask specific questions

[desert elk]

yeah

that would help explain

[spare dome]

I guess everything what does it mean by get into a pose am I supposed to keep the duplicate , what if the model is already upload to I have to make a whole new project

[desert elk]

you can upload it again

with the same blueprint id

and it will update

[spare dome]

Blueprint id?

[somber sequoia]

ah yes, the duplicate. No, you can delete that when done, it's just there to make sure you don't screw up the real avatar while you're still a newbie at this.

[desert elk]

yeah, that's the thing at the bottom of your avatar descriptor

if you ever uploaded a quest avatar, you should know what it is

[spare dome]

I haven’t

[desert elk]

yeah, so it's in the avatar descriptor

[steep herald]

Is the VRCAnimatorPlayAudio behavior still available? I'm not seeing it on my project

[prisma thunder]

Funny number that tells vrchat which PC avatar is linked to which Quest avatar

[somber sequoia]

which SDK version do you have? Older ones won't haev it

[spare dome]

Just a side note and I’m being honest here I’m not mess with anyone when I ask the Ms question i have never touched unity before in my life the question may be stupid to yall but I’m dead serious when I ask them

[desert elk]

wrong unity

[somber sequoia]

that's Unity, not the VRChat SDK. Also that's old and buggy, you want 2022.3.22f1

[desert elk]

yes

[steep herald]

sorry one sec

[steep herald]

Let me close out my project and do an update, where do I pull the sdk version?

[somber sequoia]

unity package manager window

[desert elk]

vcc

or that

[somber sequoia]

or vcc if you use it (I don't)

[steep herald]

These right? Looks like im behind

[somber sequoia]

teeeeeeny image when all you had to do is type it, but yeah, that's too old

I think that component arrived in 3.6

[steep herald]

Alrighty, Ill do an update, thanks

[prisma thunder]

Theoretically, if I had an object that needed 960~ materials to swap from, how would I go about doing this without killing my rating?

[somber sequoia]

I'd suggest there's probably a much better way of doing that. Like using a sprite sheet.

[steep herald]

Welp updating my project completely deleted the scene

[prisma thunder]

Sure, but the textures need to each be 240p~, and I feel that would quickly ramp up the texture size

[somber sequoia]

unlikely - but possibly it defaulted to a blank scene

[steep herald]

Ah yes, scenes werent deleted, just defaulted to a blank state, Actually super weird, so this is an old project, I opened up like a week ago and made some changes, it appears as if my project went back a week in time. Unity does some weird stuff.

I must have forgotten to save the scene and its reverting back, silly me

[prisma thunder]

Actually that would only be one 8k texture, no?

If I made a 31x31 square of all my textures, I could fit 961 (all my textures)
Each of the textures are 240p, 240x31 is under 8k
Maybe I'm just sleep deprived, but this seems correct 😭

[vocal otter]

did something happen to change how animation paths work?

[somber sequoia]

I haven't noticed

[vocal otter]

weird. basically every animation i have made that doesnt use vrc fury now seems to have a path issue. Its double weird since those animations work fine when previewing the animation

[prisma thunder]

Maybe that could pertain to my issue? I know my animations aren't working properly, but that could just be a skill issue

[stoic mural]

how do i open it in unity

i have cc downloaded already

and when i try to open it with cc, it just shows me the unity hub page

[gritty rover]

So i got a question

I need help trying to install what unity i need for a mac os

[stoic mural]

it wont open the 3.22 version

[gritty rover]

Idk what unity it is im new to this

[desert elk]

what unity version do you have?

[stoic mural]

2022.3.22

as what the VRC CC says

[desert elk]

does vcc show any errors?

[somber sequoia]

same unity as any other platform

[desert elk]

and is the unity connected to vcc?

[gritty rover]

But how and what name is it

[somber sequoia]

you can't use VCC for mac though, so you may want to check out ALCOM for this

[stoic mural]

it opens unity hub but not the 2022.3.22

[desert elk]

ah, i've had that happen before

[gritty rover]

Ye i cant find hub on mine

[stoic mural]

is there a way to fix it?

[desert elk]

i just reinstalled everything, but you could make sure it's connected properly in settings

[stoic mural]

i can't reinstall cause its connected to multiple users ._.

[desert elk]

here in vcc

[somber sequoia]

https://creators.vrchat.com/sdk/upgrade/current-unity-version/ links to instructions and downloads and such are here

[stoic mural]

where do i find that at

[desert elk]

vcc settings page

[gritty rover]

Alrighty thx

[desert elk]

open vcc, bottom left

[stoic mural]

okay so when it opens, it should have the SDK added already?

[wispy palm]

How do i seperate the red part of the texture from the mesh?

[desert elk]

yes, if you made the project with vcc

[stoic mural]

okay so it just opens to the projects page for unity..

[desert elk]

also make sure they're not hidden in untiy witht he eye icon

[somber sequoia]

that's painted on the texture, you'd have to manually cut the mesh along those lines to separate it

[gritty rover]

Im using spline so idk how to

[somber sequoia]

awful topo there too

[gritty rover]

Plus i found out i cant have unity on my mac

So there goes my way lol

[somber sequoia]

but why not?

[prisma thunder]

I can't use any quest shader (Other than lightmapped) without the whole material becoming blue, how could I fix this?

[gritty rover]

Idk it wont show up in the app store

[desert elk]

vertex colours

@prisma thunder

you will need to delete the vertex colours

that's most likely it

[stoic mural]

What type of unity project do I need to create for this?

[gritty rover]

And i cant use blender since my mac is from 2017

[somber sequoia]

it's listed here: https://unity.com/releases/editor/whats-new/2022.3.22#installs

[desert elk]

not in unity, you create the project in VCC

[stoic mural]

yes..

but it opens to the unity project page.

[desert elk]

avatar project 2022

[stoic mural]

okay but-

[desert elk]

if you can't get it to open automatically

open it manually

[prisma thunder]

I only have one texture, unless that's not it.
Where would I find these?

[stoic mural]

can you explain..?

[desert elk]

and locate the folder vcc created

open it (not just select) and click "open"

[desert elk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktdppffngDY

here

[stoic mural]

So then I can upload a pre-made avatar by just opening the unitypackage in the project that I just created?

[desert elk]

you will also need to either drag the prebab into the heirarchy or open the secene

depends on how the avatar is set up

it may have instructions

[stoic mural]

it doesnt.

[prisma thunder]

AHH zooming in is slightly faster than zooming out in unity

This will annoy me forever.

[desert elk]

so import the .unitypakcage

and look at what you have

a prefab or a scene

the scene may be named "open me" or smth like that

[stoic mural]

mk

[magic gate]

hi chat i require help with recoloring textures and uploading a booth model

[somber sequoia]

'tis a decent place for such help

[magic gate]

indeed

for those that wish to assist me in my endeavor send me a dm so we can call

[desert elk]

scammers incoming

don't respond to dms

the textures should be in the assets, or even in a separate folder provided with avatar files, you can take them from there and recolour them in an art program - paint, krita, gimp

import them to unity's assets and replace them in the materials

[somber sequoia]

it's pretty unlikely you'll find someone who will walk you through things in a call. You'd be more likely to get help by explaining what you're having an issue with in here.

[desert elk]

yeah

generally what i said is what you can do, to recolour textures

[magic gate]

i have gimp but i have no clue on how to use it

[compact dust]

or have someone do it for you

[desert elk]

make sure they're not a scammer though!

[somber sequoia]

yeah, you'll probably want to start by learning the tools you want to use

[desert elk]

there's a lot of them here

[magic gate]

opened the program, got confused, closed the program

[compact dust]

like u frfr

[desert elk]

idk gimp, so i can't help there

[desert elk]

no, michi, no

[somber sequoia]

I know how but I don't really use it for full texturing, I'd much rather work with a 3D model

[compact dust]

dont act like i dont remember the time you gave me wrong info 😔
scammed out of knowing

[desert elk]

huh?????????

[stoic mural]

Okay so I downloade Poi-toon for my textures, is there a certain way that I'm supposed to upload it for the model since I'm getting errors?

[somber sequoia]

show the first 2-3 errors.

[compact dust]

imported poi before model?

[somber sequoia]

that doesn't matter, even if many people say it does.

[stoic mural]

Or do I need Poiyomi pro?

[somber sequoia]

you only need pro if you want to use pro features.

[compact dust]

liars they are

[stoic mural]

So the errors I'm getting are for a pre-made model that used Pro

[compact dust]

show em

[somber sequoia]

So again, unless you actually need pro features, just use not-pro. If you do need pro, go buy it.

[desert elk]

what's this about??

[stoic mural]

so does that basically mean I need a new model?

[somber sequoia]

no

[compact dust]

nothin, 'tis a joke my frierend

[desert elk]

it's not funny

[stoic mural]

so just ignore the errors then?

[somber sequoia]

#avatar-help message

[desert elk]

show the errors first

first 2-3

[somber sequoia]

ok yeah, so either install the pro package, or unlock those shaders and swich them to using a current poiyomi toon. You may have to deal with upgrade differences, the docs explain some of this.

[stoic mural]

wdym unlock

[somber sequoia]

https://www.poiyomi.com/general/locking

[stoic mural]

okay I don't understand the docs.

which is why I came here.

[somber sequoia]

which part do you need explained?

I mean, it says this right there:

To unlock the shader, just press the button again. It'll be labeled as Unlock Shader.

[stoic mural]

I don't use unity, ever. First timer.

[somber sequoia]

you'll probably want to go watch some tutorials on the basics then.

[stoic mural]

I have already watched videos and they are not helping me.

[somber sequoia]

again, we can help if you ask specific questions. Otherwise, I'm not sure what you want here.

[stoic mural]

I'm a hands-on learner, not a visual learner. Eliot helped earlier by providing screenshots of what to do.

[compact dust]

screenshots are visual

[desert elk]

i don't have poi and i'm not gonna install it just for you

[stoic mural]

🤦🏻‍♀️

[somber sequoia]

I use it and said what to do.

[desert elk]

but look at the docs

[somber sequoia]

You'll have to find the materials which use this shader, and unlock them.

[desert elk]

click the material and read this

with pictures

from the docs btw

i just added yellow lines

[stoic mural]

I’ll just find someone that can help with a hands-on step by step.

Thanks for your time, I suppose.

[somber sequoia]

good luck!

[desert elk]

[west sorrel]

hey all i need a bit of help so an avatar i have customised keeps coming up as an error bot i need the help

[timber wharf]

thats not a question, be more specific

ie its performance evalution before upload etc, and does NON customised but still uploaded by you version works fine

[rancid anvil]

anyone know how to make it so the avatar dont do the normal walk animation?

[night ember]

Just change them

[rancid anvil]

how?

[night ember]

Locomotion layer

[rancid anvil]

ok

[small raft]

im having a issue were there's a white screen on my avatar when i change into it in vrc. its completely fine in unity

the eye view is fine

the avi was fine a little bit ago until i updated the project in vrc creator companion

does anyone know why?

[spare dome]

hi so im pretty sure im at the finish line with this avi but when i try and set the toggle perimeters for the intl dont show up

[somber sequoia]

intl?

[rustic prism]

hi

[spare dome]

int

[rustic prism]

so i got an avatar in blender but how to i color it

[compact dust]

is it a premade?

[rustic prism]

idk what distinguishes premade and not

can i dm you im so sorry

😭

[compact dust]

did you get it from a website-

[desert elk]

like, did you buy a ready avatar or did you make it yourself?

[rancid anvil]

when i did and test it out the animation was the same

[night ember]

well you need to swap the animations in the layer

[rancid anvil]

i did

[compact dust]

using the same type of shader?

same shader, wtv

shrug

[somber sequoia]

you'd really have to go over all the settings. It could be set to toon lit instead of realistic, for example.

[rotund charm]

anyone know how to fix this

[somber sequoia]

it's usually not a real problem, if you don't notice anything. I tend to export from Blender with smoothing set to 'face' now and import normals. you could try legacy blendshape normals too.

[rotund charm]

It doesn’t let me enter play mode without fixing it

[somber sequoia]

that's not an error so I am betting there's a different error there

[rustic prism]

how do i fix this ? im brand new to avatar making :/

probably an easy fix but i dont know what to do lol

[compact dust]

fix what

[somber sequoia]

explain what "this" you mean?

[rustic prism]

the fact that i cant clearly see anything

and it looks glitchy

[compact dust]

that's normal

[rustic prism]

oh

[somber sequoia]

you're in material preview mode

[compact dust]

yuh

[rustic prism]

sorry lol\

[compact dust]

views change stuff like what's in front

[stone stag]

Quest controller non gesture hands are broken and i have no idea how to fix it

[somber sequoia]

lots of blender isn't obvious 🙂

[stone stag]

it looks fine in the muscle settings in the configure of fbx

[rustic prism]

is there a way i can make it look clear and be able to see color ?

[stone stag]

its only on quest controllers

[compact dust]

click the far right one i think

[somber sequoia]

upper right, little bubbles, those are the view modes. One to the left of where you are is solid mode

[compact dust]

or solid color one

[somber sequoia]

that's full rendered

[somber sequoia]

i.e. with lights and such

[compact dust]

yerp

[rustic prism]

that makes it gray

[somber sequoia]

yes

[rustic prism]

so theres no way i can see it with color but solid ?

[somber sequoia]

if it's in material mode like you had it before, then you need to figure out what's up with the materials, looks like weird uv mapping and transparency weird, but you'd have to see what's going on there

definitely can't tell you much without fully understanding the materials and UV maps

[rustic prism]

fair

i just dont know what to do i just started like 30 mins ago

[compact dust]

and its hard to explain blender smts

[rustic prism]

i apricate your help tho

[somber sequoia]

donut tutorial time!

[rustic prism]

omg wait youre right

[compact dust]

what does the donut tutorial teach

[somber sequoia]

blender

[frail temple]

No

[compact dust]

just general?

ive yet to watch

[somber sequoia]

yeah there are new ones but I can't remember any links

[compact dust]

maybe that's why i still dont understand blender

[frail temple]

I hated the donut

https://youtu.be/1jHUY3qoBu8?si=N1A9PEvKJT-tMt0F

[compact dust]

to a degree at least

[frail temple]

this is way better

[frail temple]

@rustic prism use this

[somber sequoia]

is there one for a modern Blender though?

[rustic prism]

thank you sm

[compact dust]

you have to manually retopo right

[somber sequoia]

(I know the concepts are the same but lots of people get stuck on tiny details... you know, the types who want an exact tutorial for their very very specific problem which no one else has)

[compact dust]

also isnt retopo just re-doing the vertices (idk the correct term) to make it less heavy on the system but same shape basically

[somber sequoia]

there are tools to assist but you really have to know how you want things to move to do it right

[frail temple]

some shortcuts maybe different, mostly because the author for some reason has custom hotkeys.... Googling is required for a few stuff

[frail temple]

remesh addon here we GOOOO

[compact dust]

idk how to model in blender so

[frail temple]

i figured out that very few do in here professionally (i think) blender discord is your friend

[compact dust]

well it wouldnt be useful to me

i use a different thingy to do my models, way easier to learn in blender

although it makes ur models extremely vertice dense

[frail temple]

Subdivison?

[compact dust]

yeah

but any complex models dont subdivide well in it

so i use blender for that

[mystic tinsel]

i need someone with complete knowledge on audios

[spare dome]

and i give up again i have followed this video to the t i have the toggle on the model in game but the clothes still wont switch

[compact dust]

unity audios?

[compact dust]

show picture of them in unity

and what are you using for the 'toggle'

[mystic tinsel]

yeah, i want to add an audio on my avatar when he/she spawns in, or change avatars

[compact dust]

oh that's easy

i think

[spare dome]

i tried both things the dude did i tried bol and ive tried int neither works

[compact dust]

you just need an audio that plays set to an object i believe

it should auto play when the avi loads

[somber sequoia]

please don't, that's super annoying 😦

[mystic tinsel]

because i want people to hear it too

[compact dust]

yes but that

[mystic tinsel]

eh

[somber sequoia]

(though this is why I don't have sounds on for non-friends)

[frail temple]

Quick question, All normals are fine, this still happens... Recalculated and flipped normals multiple times

[mystic tinsel]

it's only like a short voice intro, no music

[compact dust]

i have custom where everyone is blocked, easy no-annoyance

[frail temple]

Bad picture

[compact dust]

un-optimized female mesh frfr
(ive never seen something so goog)

[somber sequoia]

you didn't ask a question though

[compact dust]

except the feet?

[frail temple]

where the feet???

normals are normal

[frail temple]

i traced it but 3d style

[mystic tinsel]

ok Mich, what do i do next?

[compact dust]

are normals just the way that the vertices face

idk much about models but how to make em

[compact dust]

test it

idk much about that kinda audio cue

[frail temple]

yee

[somber sequoia]

in this case "face normals" are a line pointing out from the front of the face, perpendicular to it.

[compact dust]

i have one that does smt like that but im not sure completely on how it works

[mystic tinsel]

i mean are there settings i should change and such?

[compact dust]

size probably

[somber sequoia]

(you can't see it, but it's there and is used to know which is the front or rear)

[compact dust]

this is why i would take forever to learn blender, too much info for my small brain

also a lot of keybinds

[somber sequoia]

you want an Audio Source component. The Unity docs are pretty thorough, I'd suggest reading them and also VRChat's. If it's active by default, it'll play whenever the avatar is spawned

[compact dust]

idek what the ones i know do besides ctrl-p is for parenting my armature

[mystic tinsel]

also, play on awake?

[somber sequoia]

if that's what you want, yes.

it'll play when the object it's on is enabled.

[frail temple]

So why are my avatar's feet not seen in Unity?

Normals are facing right direction..

[mystic tinsel]

and that people can hear me at 500?

jus wanna clarify

[somber sequoia]

500 what, meters? that's the whole world

[mystic tinsel]

yes

ok

[somber sequoia]

wow.

[mystic tinsel]

? what?

[somber sequoia]

hey, you do you.

[spare dome]

i gave up on the og model i just need help with one thing on another model and its just this error

[somber sequoia]

that's the one you didn't fix last night

[spare dome]

differnt model

[somber sequoia]

same answer we gave you last night too - either install whatever package that requires or remove the script.

[spare dome]

i need to now where the script is its nothing is showing up as clone

[somber sequoia]

it says the name of the game object right there

[spare dome]

kazin im looking at my hiarchy nothing says clone

[somber sequoia]

and yet, the error message provides that name

[spare dome]

theres nothing there saying clone if i cant see it and the program search function cant see it where is it

[somber sequoia]

try clearing the console and building again, maybe it's an outdated message

[spare dome]

nope still there

omg it was in the feet

there was a missing script in the feet

[gloomy flint]

its always the feet

[magic yarrow]

Hey does anyone here know how to add special effect maps to avis in Unity?

I really need some help

[somber sequoia]

depends a lot on what effect and what shader

[magic yarrow]

Poiyomi shaders

[somber sequoia]

the docs are very good, I'd usually say to start there. But what special effects?

[magic yarrow]

body, eye, and fluff emissions, body glitter, and body metal

[somber sequoia]

emissions go in special fx -> emissions slots. body metal goes under shading -> reflections and specular.
glitter is in special fx -> glitter

[magic yarrow]

Okay... do I find those on the right-side menu when i click on the avi?

[somber sequoia]

you find them in the material properties

[magic yarrow]

i'm extremely new to Unity lol

ohhhh okay

[spare dome]

OK, can I bother y’all with one more thing? I am in game the avatar is working fine it’s uploaded to my account. How do I get It’s so it’s not a preview anymore.

[magic yarrow]

Sorry, is this where the material properties are?

[somber sequoia]

Yes, though none of those materials use poiyomi's shader

(they use lilToon)

[magic yarrow]

ah okay

[spare dome]

Do I need to do something on the website to make it so others can see my avi or something ?

[somber sequoia]

you pick it in game from the list of avatars you uploaded

[spare dome]

I did but it says preview only you can see it

[somber sequoia]

you have to "build and publish" rather than "build and test"

[spare dome]

Does that also mean I need to exit out VR chat?

[somber sequoia]

not sure what that has to do with publishing from unity

[spare dome]

OK, I saw the prompt also kaz I wanna apologize the model was supposed to be a gift for my partner and was getting really frustrating that everyone was saying was so simple to do
. I couldn’t figure it out. I’m so sorry.

[somber sequoia]

uh..okay

[cloud stratus]

im making a custom mamehinata for myself and i cannot seem to figure out how to change the outline with liltoon shaders. anyone know how do do it?

i just want a black/gray or just an all black outline

[surreal sinew]

Can someone walk me thru uploading an avatar step by step tutorials aren’t really dumbing it down enough for me I have companion and unity hub I don’t understand what I’m supposed to do next and this is my first time

Pc/quest btw

[somber sequoia]

you're more likely to get help on a single step at a time. if you explain where you're stuck, we might be able to nudge you in the right direction.

[surreal sinew]

Uh step one

🧍

[somber sequoia]

it's not like there's a single one way to do this with detailed steps numbered in a standard way...

[magic yarrow]

okay I've goofed up

[surreal sinew]

Oh uhhh

How do I get the avi on vrc😭

[halcyon vale]

sorry if this was already asked but where is the option to ''Delete avatar'' in the website? I have a few duplicated I need to get rid off

[magic yarrow]

how did i make my avi's texture appear only when i make a peace sign????

[halcyon vale]

its not where it usually is

[magic yarrow]

help???

[somber sequoia]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSwMz4WcajQ

[surreal sinew]

Oh I’ve been watching tutorials for like three hours 🧍

[somber sequoia]

this one?

[surreal sinew]

I’ve got hella random things downloaded and open

I’ll give this one a shot

[halcyon vale]

step 1: download the right unity version, step 2: download a shader (likely liltoon) step 3: go on booth and find an avatar you like step 4: profit

oh and the sdk too, guess creator companion takes care of that though

[surreal sinew]

I’m gonna tweak why r there so many unity thingies

I already bought the avi why can’t it just spawn in my library 😭

[somber sequoia]

in the 'view' tab of the 'n' popup, you can set the clipping threshold

but also, you can zoom out a bit, then move closer, then zoom back in

by move I mean like rotate it 90 so you're looking top down and drag closer or further, then rotate back

[somber sequoia]

okay

[raven phoenix]

A year later, this helped immensely. Thank mew!!!!! ❤️

[somber sequoia]

oh nice!

[surreal sinew]

How do I import my avatar file the video says do it but I’m not understanding how

[somber sequoia]

what kind of file is it?

[surreal sinew]

Unity packages from gum road so I’m not sure exactly what it is or what any of this means sorry

[somber sequoia]

what is the actual filename, with extension?

[surreal sinew]

Uh pc v1.061

[somber sequoia]

that is not a filename

[surreal sinew]

;-; what

[somber sequoia]

you may have to show file extensions, I don't really know windows

[surreal sinew]

Can I put pictures in here?

[somber sequoia]

yes

[surreal sinew]

Is this right? Or am I in the wrong area

[somber sequoia]

... take screenshots, for clarity

[surreal sinew]

OMG

Something happened

That is clearly wdym;-;

OMG somethings HAPPENING

[somber sequoia]

ok so I'm assuming that's actually a .unitypackage, so in Unity, in the menu, assets -> import package -> custom package, and pick that file.

[surreal sinew]

I double clicked and it started importing 😼I’m a pro

[somber sequoia]

hopefully into the right project

[surreal sinew]

HWAHT?!

[somber sequoia]

can you clarify the question?

[surreal sinew]

Oh I’m what do you mean by that?

Like the right project ?

[somber sequoia]

I mean if you double click the file and it opens unity, I'm not sure which project it'll open the file into.

[surreal sinew]

Oh;-;

[surreal sinew]

Okie so I have the stuff downloaded

I think I messed up

Why is there no undo button

[somber sequoia]

isn't it almost always ctrl+z?

[surreal sinew]

I’m on iPad

[flint sonnet]

ive been stuck installing unity for an hour, does anyone know a solution to this?

[somber sequoia]

oh I have no idea then, but surely there is a keyboard shortcut

[somber meadow]

That's the incorrect Unity version for VRChat content creation, you need 2022.3.22f1

[surreal sinew]

Build failed?

[somber meadow]

exit the prefab focus mode by clicking the back arrow on the hierarchy

[somber sequoia]

paste the first 2-3 errors, can't see anything useful here.

oh - I missed the blue background, yeah

[somber meadow]

and you're missing VRCFury

[surreal sinew]

What and what and what

[surreal sinew]

Smooth brain terms please

[somber sequoia]

vrcfury.com

[surreal sinew]

Okie that’s installing

[somber sequoia]

for the other, Blanke said exactly what to do

[somber meadow]

click the back arrow at the top left

[surreal sinew]

Okay check

Now it’s a pretty sparkle background

Okay so now I can try again?

OMG

I think it’s working

[magic yarrow]

what am i doing wrong now?

why is it saying it's trying to load data for "an avatar we do not own" when i clearly do have the avatar???

[forest saddle]

So today for some reason I started craving a vrchat avatar (the photos I've attached are indeed my persona.) However I realized.. I don't know how to use blender and that I'm gonna have to watch tutorials or get tips, All the tutorials I have found don't really help much and from that I have gotten no progress whatsoever, I have both blender and unity and I need help learning them. Any tips?

[ornate stump]

You have to realize that there are 2 major part of making this:

1. Creating 3D model
2. Integrate avatar sdk into the 3d model.

you likely is at creating 3D model step which majority need to be worked in blender. Most important thing is you have to familiarize yourself with blender first. It's commonly learn through donut tutorial series.

[surreal sinew]

I had that issue cuz I didn’t have fury and I was in blue box not sparkly box

[magic yarrow]

were you able to fix it?

i've been working on this avi for like 3 hours and i just wanna upload her 😭

[surreal sinew]

Yes they said I needed to click back out of hierarchy and install fury

And now I’m uploading my second avi::)

[wraith salmon]

Hey is there a way to make a camera (not the camera that the avatar uses for the view nor the in game one) not render a specific object on an avatar

[compact dust]

render it at all?

[wraith salmon]

Yes I want the object to not render at all for the camera, the object has screenspace shaders that are displaying a render texture taken from a camera that is within the area of the screenspace shader

[compact dust]

soooo

showw

[wraith salmon]

the left is what it looks like and the right is roughly the intended effect, what it looks like if I set the clipping plane beyond the range of the cube, but I would rather not have to do that

[compact dust]

yehheh idk

[wraith salmon]

Yeah I feel like this is probably way more niche than the average, how do I upload an avatar or add clothes types questions that are usually asked here

[ornate stump]

Camera mode variable https://creators.vrchat.com/worlds/udon/vrc-graphics/vrchat-shader-globals/

[wraith salmon]

Pretty sure that only works for worlds and is for the vrc camera not the unity camera object

[ornate stump]

The keywords are global so it works for both avatar and world. But probably not on camera object, I have never tested it.

[vague ember]

is there any way i can turn off the way the texture is sort of see through

[ornate stump]

In material settings, find an option that change Alpha Blend to Alpha Hash.

[vague ember]

okay thanks!

[flint sonnet]

I’ve been trying for 5 hours to upload a avatar, it’s so frustrating

I’ll follow the exact steps but something will go wrong LoL

Will somebody help me out

[tiny dock]

how do i loop an animation clip not attached to the fbx file

[ornate stump]

Someone would if you elaborate.

[tiny dock]

I made the animation in blender, duplicated it, and then deleted a few blendshapes so it didn't interfere with toggles and it plays but it won't loop the animation

[ornate stump]

Enable Loop Time in the animation clip settings.

[flint sonnet]

its hard to elaborate on something i barely understand

the avatar doesnt import

[ornate stump]

At least screenshot of what you think it went wrong.

[flint sonnet]

the xr file isnt there when i create a new project anymore

[flint sonnet]

one sec

[tiny dock]

oh wait i just noticed that ty

[flint sonnet]

these are the steps im following, installed the package on vcc for vrcfury and created a new project and opened it up in unity, then i dragged the poiyomi in the assets folder to import it, after that i try importing the avatar unity package and it doesnt let me

[ornate stump]

What does it actually do that you know it doesn't let you?

[flint sonnet]

importing the avatar unity package into unity

let me open unity upone sec

[ornate stump]

Yes. But what is it reaction?

[flint sonnet]

the cursor turns into this 🚫

[ornate stump]

If the unitypackage file contained in zip or rar file, then you have to extract the package to somewhere else before you import it.

[tiny dock]

how do i start the animation at a specific frame

there are keyframes before the start that are just tposing

and i can't move them because then the blendshapes would be on by default

[ornate stump]

Try set cycle offset in transition settings.

[flint sonnet]

Your amazing ❤️ I FINALLY got it uploaded

[vague ember]

Is this a good rig? this is my first time making my own bones and whatnot so im confused on how to parent, name, and connect all of them

[desert elk]

Nope, check out the pinned post in #avatar-rigging
But generally, you're missing the neck bone.
You have too many bones in the arms. Should be upper arm, lower arm, wrist and finger bones. You have upper arm, middle arm, lower arm, wrist and finger bones.
The hip set up is also not the one used for vrc. You should have hips, spine, chest (optional: upper chest).
And they should be straight, not a triangle like yours.
I'm also sending a photo of how the parenting should look like

[short shard]

uuuh what

[vague ember]

what should i change the bones to in blender?

[desert elk]

is my message not clear?
add a neck, delete one of the arm bones, fix the hips

and spine etc

like i said in my message

also look at the #avatar-rigging pinned posts

[vague ember]

ight mb bruh

[flint sonnet]

is it normal for this to take this long to upload?

[desert elk]

well how big is the avatar?

[flint sonnet]

how do i check?

sorry im new to this lol

[ornate stump]

If your PC isn't powerful and your avatar has so many material, it's going to take that long.

[desert elk]

yeah

[flint sonnet]

that could be it, the avatar file is 1.54 GB

[ornate stump]

The package you downloaded doesn't reflect how your avatar built size would be.

[flint sonnet]

then what does?

[ornate stump]

As I said before, you're in progress of compiling shader, so the time it take depends on number of materials.

[fallow pilot]

guys how do i rig the mouth and the eyes (its my first blender model)

[fervent spear]

do exclusive tags work on both gestures and toggles together? when i put a tag on a gesture, and the same tag on a toggle, it doesnt work

(using vrcfury btw)

[flint sonnet]

will the avatar still upload if im playing vr chat while its uploading?

[vague ember]

is this a model issue? everything was mapped correctly in unity but when i tested the avatar out it was a husk with slight animation

[flint sonnet]

so i can see it in my avatar uploaded section now but its pc only

its still doing its thing so hopefully it changes to pc/quest avatar

[ornate stump]

Of course yes. But also if your PC isn't powerful, it's going to make it much longer to build your avatar because the game already comsumes so much resource.

[flint sonnet]

so two things

first is that people arent seeing my avatar i uploaded they are only seeing my fallback.

second is i got this messgae

[ornate stump]

You didn't successfully upload for Android.

[flint sonnet]

i checked the android tick box though?

and windows

[ornate stump]

Yes. But your problem is your avatar size exceed android limit.

[flint sonnet]

will you help me this has been such a struggle

i swear its like everytime i think i got it, something doesnt work lol

[ornate stump]

#avatar-help message

[flint sonnet]

thats where we are

i thought

yeah

[ornate stump]

It's a direct link to a message.

[flint sonnet]

i have no idea where to begin with that

could you teach me?

[ornate stump]

Reduce texture resolution is the easiest. Just inspect texture file and reduce "Max Size".

[flint sonnet]

i sent a dm, take a look whenever

[ornate stump]

Do not DM. Keep it in this channel.

[flint sonnet]

lol okay let me copy and paste everything one sec

this is what im looking at

and let me also mention

i did successfully upload the quest version

[ornate stump]

Ok then that should work.

[flint sonnet]

but all the features dont work and id like for pc users to see the pc version as well

i was assuming that the quest/pc version would solve this issue

so i tried uploading that one instead

but like you seen

it didnt work

its only pc version

i only have quest.

but the other problem is no one is seeing my quest avi while im playing

i can see it

but they cant

so idk what to do @ornate stump

[gritty depot]

hi, anyone can help me? im trying to put physics on the hair but i just receive this error

[junior kayak]

How do i make a customized Tpose for calibration ?

[timid kite]

how do i turn a black texture into white? it has transparency btw

[still shuttle]

I just bring it into photoshop and invert it

Any art editing software should work as long as you can export it with its transparency

[timid kite]

tail still goes under the floor. what am i doing wrong?

[mental flare]

eyoooo

someone told me that my avatar had no bones, way to easily fix that?

[desert elk]

add them in blender

and weight paint them

you can use an automatic tool for that, but it may not be perfect

[mental flare]

where can i find the blender?

[desert elk]

the blender website...

https://www.blender.org/download/lts/4-2/

[mental flare]

ahhh

do i just put the files in the site or do i put the site into unity?

[desert elk]

please watch a tutorial

[mental flare]

ah ok

[desert elk]

there's a lot more that goes into that

[mental flare]

thanks for the help

[desert elk]

feel free to check out #avatar-rigging

especially the pinned messages

[mental flare]

ill give a look

[timid kite]

i still need help with tail not colliding with the floor, help ><

[snow sandal]

I'm having difficulty fixing a bone issue on a model. When I hold my hands perpendicular to each other irl (red lines), the avatar's have a incorrect incline. I have tried the usual fixes to this issue such as enforcing T-pose in Rig, adding dents in the arms and legs of the model (blender), and reorienting the bones to face the correct direction (blender). Yet, these methods have not functioned.

Fix found : placing the model in a sudo-T-pose within blender before expore and then enforcing T-pose in Unity seems to have solved the problem for now.

[magic yarrow]

Why does this keep happening?

it kept doing this last night so i signed out of everything and that fixed it, but it's still doing it and idk how to fix it

the blueprint ID reappeared last night after i signed out and back in again, but now it's gone again

[spark walrus]

Would anyone be able to vc and help me figure out how to change icons on goco menu? (Pls dont tell me to look it up, i wouldnt ask to vc if i was able to find a video that actually helped me)

[compact dust]

go to the gogo menu you wanna change the icons for

and change the icon on the right side

[spark walrus]

Again id need someone to show me im relatively new to avi creating

[compact dust]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGJsioJFCYc

just search "gogo" and look for the menu you want to change in your bottom project inspector

[mental flare]

tryin to build an avatar, it says it's building but the bar isn't moving

[compact dust]

errors in console?

[mental flare]

nope

consoles as quiet as a library

[compact dust]

could be a server thing

[mental flare]

hmmm, added hair to my avy

but it dun wanna follow my avi's head

every part of it is rooted to head but hmm

[dusk mulch]

just to ask
i recently bought an avatar (rindo) and decided to customize it, use the base to make an Oc, but one problem, how to remove the items?
i haven't seen any video about it apart from recommendations to make your avatar on vroid studio -w-

[desert elk]

Blender

Select the vertices and press delete on your keyboard

[stoic mural]

What's the difference between SPS and SPS + FT?

I know SPS is more friendly than the known others.

Since I can't say them.

[dusk mulch]

right, but for all the items on the r menu ? I can't remove them

[steady epoch]

will they ever come to terms with the reality that the high end avatars are all NSFW

[stoic mural]

What's SPS + FT?

Can't find the docs on it.

[desert elk]

you need to open the menu and remove the toggle

in unity

I think it was a - button?

[stoic mural]

I'm just trying to make sure I'm uploading this correctly 😭

[desert elk]

one Google search btw

first result

[dusk mulch]

in my european french keyboard its the r button, for that (image)

[stoic mural]

Instead of being rude and being like "Use google", a simple answer would've been nice.

[desert elk]

yes, that's what I meant, if the toggles are made manually you need to open the menus and delete the toggles I think with the - button next to the toggle, but I could be wrong, I don't have my pc here

if it's vrcf idk

[stoic mural]

I found foot tracking and face tracking for FT, I was checking here to make sure. Thanks for that.

[desert elk]

I just told you where you can search for information

I have never heard of foot tracking before in my life

[stoic mural]

But answering simply would've been better?

[desert elk]

I answered you with a screenshot

[twin raft]

teach a man to fish

[stoic mural]

Didn't need to be taught to fish, just wanted a simple answer.

[mental flare]

speaking of simple, how do you minimalize the intensity on phys bones

by that im mean so it doesn't flop around as much when you move

[timid terrace]

https://youtu.be/LW13jpmNmQI

[timber wharf]

@mental flare immobile type - world (to affect only the whole avi movement ie running around) + crank it to some value

[mental flare]

hmmmm, back at it again, my dumb ass i got my avatar into vrchat but my hands wont gesture

[desert elk]

first make sure that you have hand gestures turned on in your circle menu

if yes

make sure you have a gesture layer set up in unity

[timber wharf]

you forgor for a tracking control state behaviour to enable back tracking

id suggest finding and editing existing default emotes controller in sdk examples

*editing its copy you yoink to assets, dont ever edit stuff in packages as it will be reverted on update

[mental flare]

where can i find gesture layer?

[night ember]

Avatar descriptor

[mental flare]

do i change the default gesture to my custom gestures

cus i have it in FX rn

do i have it in both gesture and FX then?

[night ember]

Hand poses go in gesture not fx

[mental flare]

oh wait, fx is face expretions yeah?

[timber wharf]

fx is everything thats not humanoid bones. fingers are humanoid bones so they go gestures.

face expressions are blendshapes, thus fx

[mental flare]

so i dupe a HandsLayer and put it into gestures?

[timber wharf]

if you used preexisting hands layer to make face expressions and put it to fx, you probly forgor to remove masks. fx controller should have no masks on its layers

[mental flare]

no mask is gone

[timber wharf]

then having default gesture layer should work fine, unless you need custom gestures

[mental flare]

well i think the gestures r custom, they came with the avi

[timber wharf]

just check what actual animations inside do. if they animate fingers, then its gesture layer and pointless in fx, if its gesture-defined expressions and such, then its fx only. having same controller on gesture and fx makes no sense.

[mental flare]

ok, i got expretions on fx and a basic hand layer on gestures

[slim sail]

If anyone is free to help me understand this, im new to uploading avatars and stuff like that.

i dont know how to fix it and ive been looking all over yt and other sites but there is nothing to teach me to fix it

[night ember]

Thats not an error

[slim sail]

i dont know how to fix it tho,

[night ember]

Its not really a problem

[slim sail]

but thats really the only reason why it doesnt wanna upload,

ive looked through everything and its the only thing stopping me from uploading

[night ember]

Thats not the reason at all

[slim sail]

then im even more lost

[light trench]

Send a photo of your console

[slim sail]

give me a moment

[night ember]

The only thing that stops you from uploading is the red stop sign errors

[slim sail]

let me look again

gotta wait for it to open again

[mental flare]

okay, does anyone know how i give my avatar hand movement, just basic hand gestures

[night ember]

It should just have the default gestures if you rigged the fingers

[mental flare]

oh

my

god

i am so

wait okay what do you use to rig fingers?

[fathom fossil]

trying to do hollow eyes

[night ember]

same way you rigged the model to begin with

[mental flare]

hmm, what was the component called?

[night ember]

you dont add a component?

you add bones in blender

[mental flare]

aaaaahhhh fuck

blender

i can't insert my avi into blender

[night ember]

and why not

[mental flare]

it's just grayed out

when i try to insert file

[night ember]

what

[mental flare]

well no, i can open files

but the avi file is grayed

[night ember]

again what

[mental flare]

okay

im in blender, i hover over file, click on open

files come up and the avi file is grayed out

[night ember]

what do you mean grayed out

screenshot it

[mental flare]

they can't be clicked on

[mental estuary]

You can't open an FBX in Blender. You have to import it

[mental flare]

oook so how do i inport from unity

[mental estuary]

Find your FBX and import it

[mental flare]

ok wait, im in blender and hovering over import

it dun showing fbx

[mental estuary]

What Blender version are you using?

[mental flare]

4.2.8

[mental estuary]

Edit -> Preferences -> Search for FBX. Enable it

[mental flare]

im in blender preferences

where do i search for fbx

[dreamy warren]

Im tryna configure the armature in unity but the configure menu isnt opening

[mental flare]

fuck man, i've spent a whole day all i wanna do is be able to make a fist with my hand

[dreamy warren]

i think all you gotta do is go the the "file" tab pres import and then fbx, tho idk if it'll be the same cuz im in 4.4.0

[mental flare]

yeah, fbx dun exist on inport

[dreamy warren]

hmm i wouldnt know then 🤷

[mental flare]

feel like hand gestures should just work tho no?

[mental flare]

nice, i got it on now

[cunning swan]

so im trying to animate but my fingers wont appear as a curve

[night ember]

Yea?

[cunning swan]

i meant to say wont

@night ember

[night ember]

Wdym curve

[cunning swan]

those dots in the animation tab u move around that’s called a curve

[night ember]

Do you not have multiple keyframes

[cunning swan]

no i just started the animation

[night ember]

The curve is between 2 keyframes

[fathom fossil]

how do i export this effect to unity

[grim scroll]

is there a way to link non booth assets with booth models

since armatures are different

[night ember]

you cant export materials/shaders

you would need to remake it in unity

[desert elk]

blender

[balmy plover]

i found this really cute jacket that i really want but its a unity file, and i really dont like or know how to add clothes in unity, is there a way to change that unity scene file provided by the creator into a fbx for blender?

[grim scroll]

mind expanding on that or redirecting me to something

[desert elk]

uhh there was a video here once. let me see if I can find it again

cause it's a lot to explain in text

[grim scroll]

fairs

[balmy plover]

you can add stuff on stuff even if the armatures are different, look up how to use data transfers!

[desert elk]

usually the unitypackage will contain the fbx

you can open it in unity and take the FBX from the assets to blender

[balmy plover]

i love data transfers (we're gonna ignore how last month i was in here saying how horrible data transfers are)

[balmy plover]

this sounds dumb, how do i get it to open 😭

[grim scroll]

do you mind linking me something about data transfer

[balmy plover]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjlJF-aGrlE around 7 mins she starts explaining data transfers, id really recomend watching the whole vid tho! amber was one of my first ever teachers and i love her to death

[desert elk]

drag it to Unity's assets

[balmy plover]

its a scene file tho

[desert elk]

it can't be only the scene

if it's only a scene then it's empty

and there would be no assets at all

can you show a screenshot?

[balmy plover]

those 3 ss show everything that came from the download

idk if it helps but this is the link to where i got it https://yarver.gumroad.com/l/lolacyberpunkbomberjacket?a=73962195

[desert elk]

it says it includes the fbx

try opening it?

[balmy plover]

yeah i saw it said it included the fbx, thats the only reason i downloaded it even tho it said unity file

if i try opening the scene file it just opens my unity hub, then i opened a project made to export that file but it wont open anything

im starting to think its one of those assets where they post it as free but you actually have to go to their website/gumroad to buy the actual thing...

oh wait hold on

i got it to do something

[marsh storm]

I was wondering if anyone had the same issue as me, up until now the VRChat SDK has been like this, There is a avatar blueprint ID on the avatar but i can't edit anything on the SDK like the name picture etc.
Anyone know how to fix it?

[balmy lantern]

Well. That alert at the top is pretty telling of what you should probably do!

[vestal yew]

Stupid question but I've been working on this for a while and I'm stuck stuck. I'm trying to make the slide on this gun grabbable so it can be racked directly backwards. The only way I've found that works to make it grabbable is creating a separate physbone object and putting the slide in the root transform field.

But the bone ends up starting in the right shoulder regardless of where I place it in the hierarchy. So the best I can do is make it grabbable by reaching for the bone in that area. Any ideas?

[marsh storm]

Updated my unity version and problem still persists.. i even re-installed all the repo's it worked for a couple minutes and then it does this again..

Nvm figured it out, i used the avatar ID from the website thinking it would work too..

[twin sable]

Hi, I've been having a problem, I have an avatar that I made (I bought from Booth to Shinra) and the thing is that I want to make it move and make expressions in the dance synchronized, I found some information but I didn't understand anything they said, is there any way to solve this problem?

[crisp mason]

Heya :3 i just recently bought my first avi and looking for resources to help me edit it. any guides or just anything to read up on to learn so?

[night ember]

Blender

[unique surge]

my project is not ready for this
(everything Trilinear & x16)

... hmm i got 20gb ram usage and 71gb from storage comitted, it'll just crash the unity

[flint sonnet]

I’m having trouble uploading a PC+Quest avi. Whenever i upload it becomes PC only, does anyone know how to fix this problem?

[unique surge]

you have to set in vrc sdk the build target to "Android"

also this will require the separate prefab usually made by the creator that uses different mobile-compatible shaders

[flint sonnet]

I think I had windows and android checked at the same time

[unique surge]

well, are there no errors? in the "Console"

if youre trying to use liltoon/poiyomi shader when building Android it'll just error out for the android(quest) build

[flint sonnet]

I am opening unity right now to show you my console, also yes Im using poiyomi

And vrcfury

[flint sonnet]

how do i fix this, i believe this is the issue

[unique surge]

thats a different issue.

also poiyomi =/= android(quest)

vrcfury IS quest compatible, anything except vrchat/mobile shader is NOT quest compatible

thats why you should look in your scene/prefab/etc find the quest variant.

quest compatible is 100% all the time just a different avatar using same parameters

[timid kite]

why do my contact points float in the air by themselves without me moving sometimes

[glass thorn]

Anyone else not having the servers update their avatar?

[rustic prism]

hii ! does anybody know why it wont let me download this for vrc creator companion ? i have over a terabyte of space and it says that theres not enough space to install it :/

[timber wharf]

is it on C drive tho

[rustic prism]

D drive

my c drive is full but i made sure it went to the D drive

[flint sonnet]

People aren’t able to see the avatar I uploaded but I’m able to see myself in the mirror? How do I fix this

[sonic bison]

Hey! When im workin on my avatar ni blender for some reason it shades one part of the right hand differently than the other? I dont know whats causing this sense the normals & meshes are exactly mirrored. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[pearl fable]

I updated my avatar 1 or 2 days ago adding a contact receiver to a chair which triggers my Boolean to true which plays an animation that scales my vrc station script component from 0 to 1 making it accessible. The problem is that some players still seem to be able to use it even though I have interactions off on them. It’s only some players as tests with friends showed they couldn’t access the chair anymore after removing interaction permissions. Could it be that the avatar hasn’t received an update for them somehow? Or is there another explanation for this behaviour??

[flint sonnet]

all of a sudden i get this message when creating a new project now i cant upload anything.
