avatar-help

[glass solar]

still could use help on this

[somber sequoia]

I'm not sure I understand what the problem is?

[dapper matrix]

Need a bit of help myself
I'm hoping to add a purr sound effect to a mamehinata avi with it's pet_happy toggle, and besides making major edits by animating it with a new sound, is there any other method to make this happen?

[limpid cargo]

it does... learned this the hard way

[sage hawk]

can someone fix my rig for me for free ive been crying and trying to do this fucking rig for three days straight THE HAIR IS SSTUCK FUSED TO THE TORSO

it looks like this

i cant take it anymore ive been trying for days oh gosh ive tried everythmg

[finite wren]

i got it working finally!

[thick estuary]

How do you make avatars transform

[sage hawk]

please

[finite wren]

use weight painting

[sage hawk]

it didnt work

[finite wren]

oh

[sage hawk]

i need someone do it for me im so frustrated bro

the hair is stuck to the torso and with weight paint it moves the TORSO isnetad of hair

[desert elk]

go to vrc traders #1204490664637890580

you'll get scammers here

very bad

look for somebody on that server

[sage hawk]

i dont have.. money

[desert elk]

i believe they have a free section too

[sage hawk]

and im so fucking stupid i cant do a simple rig

[desert elk]

worth checking

you are way more likely to get scammed here

[somber sequoia]

transform in what way?

[somber sequoia]

you probably weight painted the hair to the torso bones and shouldn't have. You can hide the parts you aren't working on, to prevent this

[sage hawk]

i dont want people to make a damn avatar for me im just i want someone to fix my rig ive been trying SO long

[desert elk]

and i wouldn't share the model file like that if i were you.

you can ask them just for that

if you can't do it yourse

lf

just not here

[sage hawk]

theres nothing to do that on crc trader

its only comisin

GRR commisions

[somber sequoia]

this is the kind of thing that probably isn't just 5min of quick work, so yeah, you should expect to pay for something like this

[sage hawk]

I have no money and i cant do it what the fuck else am i supposed to do? i spent four days on this model just for rigging to be impossible

istfg

[somber sequoia]

sorry, I'm just stating the available options

[sage hawk]

im gonna go cry now

[desert elk]

🤷

[queen isle]

I need some help. I have a gesture layer on my model but it keeps causing the hands to lock up at idle state. What is the fix for it?

[desert elk]

do you have gestures enabled in the circle menu?

[misty ridge]

how do i make it so parts of my avi dont block my view?

[queen isle]

Yes. I'm in Desktop right now and switching between hand animations does nothing.

[desert elk]

do they work in unity?

[olive grail]

can anyone help me upload an avatar? i do not have a desktop, so i can't access unity.

[queen isle]

It's having the same issue in Unity as well.

[desert elk]

That's against ToS

[desert elk]

make sure there are animations assigned to your FX layer

[somber sequoia]

It can't be done without Unity

[desert elk]

and that they work

[queen isle]

The animations work. The hands don't?

[desert elk]

how are you checking if the animations work?

[queen isle]

Gesture Manager and checking animator

The issue is the Gesture layer fx causing it. The issue seems to be write defaults being off. I'm going to force them all on to see what happens

[somber sequoia]

you might have to make changes if you do that, depending on how those animations work

[queen isle]

Yeah it was Write Defaults being off. Forcing them all on worked

[thick estuary]

How do I fix this

[somber sequoia]

what is "this"?

[stuck grotto]

anyone know why this happens when I try to establish eye tracking? seems that the bone rotation in unity for each eye defaults to 90, so when i turn on eye tracking, it sets rotation to 0, causing this weird look. in blender, i've cleared rotation and roll to 0 for all bones

[desert elk]

are the bones positioned as they should be in blender? straight up?
if yes, look if in a new project the eyes are also behaving like that.

[stuck grotto]

they're pointed forward. i could try them straight up, didn't know they needed to be that way

[somber sequoia]

yeah they should be straight up, and with 0 bone roll

[stuck grotto]

now it's this lol

[thick estuary]

How do I see other people's avatars

[somber sequoia]

you probably want #1138891887374237706 - this channel is about creating avatars

[desert elk]

check on a new project

sometimes unity gets stuck

and ofc make sure the states are set correctly

0.0.0 for rest

looking straight

idk

[stuck grotto]

seems hell bent on setting the rotation to Not 0

[somber sequoia]

wait what object is this?

[stuck grotto]

those are the eyes

[somber sequoia]

oh, you generally need to do that in Blender or similar, not in Unity. I wonder if it works in Unity?

[stuck grotto]

what do you mean

[somber sequoia]

I've not ever tried to do this in Unity and I'm not sure you can

usually you get the rig setup before the model makes it into Unity.

[stuck grotto]

i'm changing it around in blender as well

it is

when i import it to unity, it seems to set the rotation to 90, i can't get it to default to 0

[somber sequoia]

oh then I'm not sure why you're looking at that in Unity

[stuck grotto]

here it is in blender

[somber sequoia]

If the eyes are straight up in Blender, with 0 bone roll, and the armature is otherwise correct, all transforms applied, then just export it to Unity and ignore the transforms there.

[stuck grotto]

they're straight up in blender, 0 bone roll, and when i activate eye tracking it does this

[somber sequoia]

what about "this" is bad?

[stuck grotto]

no eyes

[desert elk]

they're previewing the straight animation with 0.0.0 coordinates and it's not straight

they're on the side

[somber sequoia]

looks like the eyes are closed to me?

[desert elk]

try on a new project. Sometimes unity glitches

[desert elk]

no

[somber sequoia]

ah maybe the colors are just too close to tell

[desert elk]

.

[somber sequoia]

bone rolls for all the spine bones are 0 also?

[stuck grotto]

yep

[desert elk]

it happened to me once when I overrode the fbx, I needed to drag the avatar to the hierarchy again and set it up again

[somber sequoia]

ah yeah, in that case setting the rig to generic and back to humanoid usually clears it up

[stuck grotto]

hhh making a new project seems wild but i guess

[somber sequoia]

yeah I've never had to do that

[stuck grotto]

same thing

for some reason unity doesn't want to 0 out their rotation lol. the default is 90 rotation on some axis. idk how to get that to 0

[desert elk]

could work, it somehow didn't cross my mind xd

[somber sequoia]

let me check a working one

yeah mine in this avatar are rotated (-11.43, 0, 0) in Unity

[stuck grotto]

this avatar's just haunted ig

[sharp quartz]

Any idea as to why when I re-import my updated model with updated height proportions it ends up like this in game?

Tbh I am about ready to pay someone to fix the proportions - If anyone does it and has examples lmk

[desert elk]

"like this"??

what does it mean

[lapis tide]

Anyone got vrcfurry for 2022?

[somber sequoia]

yes?

[somber sequoia]

always assume that we have no idea what you mean when you say "this" and explain in detail.

[queen isle]

Did you reset pose and enforce T-Post on the model in Unity?

[prisma marsh]

I am struggling to figure out how to add colliders in unity. Im trying to prevent my hair from clipping through the body of my model

[somber sequoia]

make an empty game object, add a VRC Physbone collider to it, drag that into the physbone's collider section, futz with it until it sorta works.

I prefer using limiters as much as possible

[balmy barn]

🔨 angle limits, colliders are trash tier

can easy clip unless its a infinite collider one

[somber sequoia]

Colliders work decently for tails, but not great for hair

[stuck grotto]

i "Fixed" this by rotating the bones in blender the opposite directions as shown in unity lol. they look weird but wahtever it works ig

i.e. in unity it would show y -90, so i'd rotate it 90 in blender. shrugs

[somber sequoia]

rotate along what, the vertical axis?

[stuck grotto]

whichever axis needed to be rotated to reach 0

they were all different values so

[somber sequoia]

bizarre

[stuck grotto]

super bizarre haha

[rain wave]

I've lowered the textures to & compressed them to the lowest I could go, I even deleted all I could off the avi & I could only get it to 11.29 not quite 10.00MB

what else could I do to get it down to 10.00MB?

[arctic ginkgo]

try removing unused blendshapes

[sharp quartz]

Yes

[sharp quartz]

The "this" I am talking about is my model literally being folded in half in the floor 😭 Am I the only one seeing it?

[queen isle]

Even after upload with that it still does the issue? I'm personally stumped then 🤔

[somber sequoia]

You didn't say what you were doing, how do we know this wasn't intended? Also there are several things that look like characters, which one are we looking at here?

Anyway, if it's in the floor, verify it's standing on 0,0,0 and if this came from Blender, apply all transforms first

[sharp quartz]

I replied to the thread explaining what I was doing so I didn't have to explain it again, I apologize 😭 I will copy it The first image is before I change the fbx or anything and the second is what happens when I do. Any help is much appreciated! ❤️

I followed Eliots advice and exported the model from blender and made sure to export with the scaling to FBX All

[somber sequoia]

there's a thread?

huh so there is

[sharp quartz]

Then when I imported it to unity and uploaded it, it had ended up like that

[sharp quartz]

I will check that

Are there any updated video tuts on this?

[somber sequoia]

nothing useful in those images though - if you show a pic of an avatar it's helpful to show the box with the transforms/scaling/etc.

er, no idea, that's blender basics

[sharp quartz]

I apologize I am really not knowledgable on using blender/unity I am simply teaching myself as I go.

[somber sequoia]

I feel like we all are 🙂

[sharp quartz]

I don't understand what any of this is. If you could show me a example I would greatly appreciate it.

[somber sequoia]

in Blender if you hit n you get a popup with some tabs, the top one is "Item", this has the transforms for an object. When showing an image like that, it's helpful to include that so we can see size, location, scaling, etc.

[sharp quartz]

I am just trying to make my avatar height line up with my irl body since I am 4'10 and none of my avatars fit correctly. I already followed 2 tutorials to the T and it seems that when I override the FBX with the one I had "fixed" proportions on is where everthing goes wrong. In the image I tried to show the avatar folded in on it's self and in the floor (I will attach a zoomed in pic) I hope this helps to give a little more incite on what I am trying to do.

[sharp quartz]

Thank you! I willo do that now!

I also hope that helps explain what I am trying to do 😭

[somber sequoia]

What I do for this is keep my avatars their default scaling in Blender and when exporting, then when importing into Unity, I set the scale in the import settings - but I sometimes work on stuff for other people based on bases I have, so I want to work in default scaling.

re: overriding... your avatar prefab wasn't unpacked, was it?

[sharp quartz]

I don't believe it was?? I took it straight from unity's assets folder since the FBX was provided with the avatar

Also, my avatar's bones are super chaotic compared the tutorial videos I have seen, is this normal?

[sharp quartz]

No, checking in unity the prefab is still packed and has the option to "unpack completely"

[somber sequoia]

I mean in Unity itself, if your avatar when in the hierarchy is not blue, it's unpacked, and overwriting the .fbx isn't going to update properly.

[somber sequoia]

ah good

[rain wave]

ok let me try that rn

[somber sequoia]

re: chaotic bones.... who knows what creators do. So long as it has the humanoid bones looking reasonable then you should be fine there. The rest are for extra stuff.

[sharp quartz]

Oh ok perfect

[hexed island]

Hi, I have a problem. The update broke my avatars - the dynamic bones don't move at all in all my avatars in the game. Is there a way to fix this? Don't tell me I have to re-upload all of them 🤡

[somber sequoia]

Dynamic bones are long deprecated, are you actually using those, or do you mean Physbones?

[hexed island]

I mean dynamic bones my hair

[somber sequoia]

Yes but "Dynamic Bones" is a specific non-free package that's deprecated. So we need to be clear here.

[hexed island]

Dynamic bones are dynamic bones. I think anyone who makes avatars knows what it is.

[somber sequoia]

Yes, I was just making sure we were clear that you were talking about the actual non-free package and not just treating that like a generic term. I have no idea what you know.
So the answer is, that's deprecated. Convert those to physbones and re-upload.

[cursive elbow]

how do i remove a parent of a material ;-;

anyone help please

[somber sequoia]

I'm not sure what that means? Do you have a material variant or something?

[somber sequoia]

ah you do - I'd probably just make a new material, I'm not sure how to split that off either, haven't tried.

[cursive elbow]

i cant make a new material idk how to do this

[somber sequoia]

of course you can

[somber meadow]

Dynamic Bones are extremely outdated, VRChat has been using their own system "Physbones" for a while now

[cursive elbow]

so theres no way to like split them off

[somber sequoia]

I said I don't know

Seems to be some info in the Unity docs though

[somber meadow]

if you want to make a duplicate of a material, you just press Ctrl + D while you select it in Unity

[somber sequoia]

yeah there's actually a decent amount of docs on this, this is useful

even tells you how to convert the variant into a material

[cursive elbow]

please how i beg

[somber sequoia]

again, I just said - unity docs. I literally googled for "unity material variant"

[cursive elbow]

doesnt work

okay sorry im slow it work

ty for telling me how to google

[somber sequoia]

haha, it just seemed obvious

[glass solar]

I want the slash effect to not be rotated when played, nor move

[plucky hearth]

i made an avi and wanted to have a flat chest option but this courses a strange effect with shadows. does anyone know how to fix this?

[glass solar]

or maybe I could find a way to freeze the positon of the particle when playing the slash anim?

[plucky hearth]

u can set the particle to world space

[glass solar]

I did that but the particles still rotate, they dont move tho

[somber sequoia]

what is causing them to rotate? You haven't shown much yet

[plucky hearth]

what about render alignment?

[night ember]

blendshape normals

[glass solar]

local

[plucky hearth]

ah thats why, local will follow the local rotaion

i think the way i get around this is setting it to velocity and make it Move .0001 speed but this is probably more of a bandade solotion

[sinful harness]

Not sure if here is the place to do it but i just now downloaded Unity and the creator companion, the projects open but i can't click on the actual unity project and do anything with it. 😿

[tired vapor]

heya i was wondering if anyone knew how to deal with conflicting blendshape toggles? im working on clothing toggles for an avi but a couple of them need the chest hair to shrink but when i have one saying the hair should be normal and one saying the hair should be hidden it decides it should be shown is there any way for me to make sure it stays hidden for all of the clothes?

[somber sequoia]

Make sure you only change a blendshape in one place at a time. Sometimes this means not using simple toggles or things like vrc fury

[graceful latch]

Hi hi! I’m having a weird issue where my finger movements aren’t synced to other vrc users. I can see my fingers moving but they can’t unless they hide and then re-show my avatar. I don’t use gestures and this issue happens with both my index controllers and quest controllers. It’s definitely an issue with my avi itself but I’ve never come across this issue so idk how to fix it

[mint mango]

Hey folks. Making my first avatar! I know blender pretty well, but i dont know unity very well at all, or the limitations of vr chat models. Is it at all possible to get this effect i made in blender into VR chat? I just added a screen space texture, removed shading, and added a glare.

[somber sequoia]

iirc what you want is called "panosphere"

(you can't do this on quest/mobile)

[left gull]

and depending on what shader you use for your panoshpere you wont be able to get a glow/glare

[karmic vortex]

Hi, I have an issue with trying to upload an avatar and could really use some help.

I was about to upload the avatar for testing, but when I tried opening the control panel, nothing happened. It didn't open.
I look up an explanation after restarting the SDK and updating VRCC, leading me to check the console.
These two errors pop up whenever I try to open the control panel. could someone explain what's wrong/why this is happening/what the error messages mean?
Sorry if this is basic stuff, I'm still new to avatar making.

[somber sequoia]

if those are not the only two error messages, paste the first 2-3 (at the top)

[karmic vortex]

alright

No those are the only two that pop up

[somber sequoia]

ah, unfortunate, they're not very helpful

[karmic vortex]

I can paste the full message if that's worth anything, there's a LITTLE more when I click on them.

[craggy widget]

How do I fix this issue? I posted it before and nobody replied.

[mint mango]

Gotcha! thanks! Ill try it out once i get my hands on it in unity

[somber sequoia]

which issue? It looks like there are many. Also I see it says 23 errors - you too, post the first 2-3, not the last.

huh you should also probably upgrade to a supported Unity, that one is old, and probably doesn't work with the latest VRChat SDK.

[karmic vortex]

I could also email the support team, but I hoped that asking here would be quicker and easier to understand.

[craggy widget]

that's the problem, I have no clue what the problem is. I keep attempting to upload and the only thing I get is "Upload failed", the problem just says "argument exception: getting control 1's position in a group with only 1 controls when doing repaint abortion".,

[somber sequoia]

sorry, there's really nothing in those two messages that's useful other than maybe you had some network issues

[somber sequoia]

Again, scroll up to the first errors.

[karmic vortex]

If it helps, I also am unable to check for updates in unity

[somber sequoia]

yeah sounds like networking issues

[karmic vortex]

Should I restart my router or anything?

[somber sequoia]

I have no idea

[karmic vortex]

Alright, thank you anyway

[craggy widget]

these are the one's at the top.

[somber sequoia]

yeah probably old Unity

[craggy widget]

alright then, I'll upgrade, thank you

[proper storm]

very easy to do in unity

[karmic vortex]

Okay so, I switched my build to windows, and suddenly it's working??

[proper storm]

either panosphere or program your own shader using view direction multiplied by the UV map

[somber sequoia]

ha! Very nice.

[karmic vortex]

Nevermind, trying to log in gives me this.

On the Android version, it wouldn't open, but now it loads at least?

It's also been giving me this, but I'm fairly certain this is the same as what was shown in the console.

[craggy widget]

where can I find the unity version I need?

[somber sequoia]

if you use VCC, you can use that to get it

same with alcom

You need 2022.3.22f1

[craggy widget]

Thank you! ^^

[desert oriole]

I've had this issue with two avatars with chibi proportions now. Whenever I look up or down, the knees bend/splay/rotate outward. How can I fix this?

[glass solar]

1 thing tho when I ser it to world the whole slash effect gets messed up

[zenith escarp]

Suddenly I'm having this error in Unity and its preventing me from uploading my Avatar. I don't think I'mve experienced this before.

[somber sequoia]

if that is not the only error message, post the first 2-3, at the top

[zenith escarp]

it is the only error message

[somber sequoia]

not very useful 😦

[zenith escarp]

No it isn't lmao

[glass solar]

idk if theres a way to freeze a part or particle system in place

when playing an animation

[zenith escarp]

Oh, wait, there ARE more. I figured it out

Read/write was disabled

rip

And my dumb ass had the "review alerts" section minimized

sorry, I may be stupid

[jagged canyon]

can some on help me i have an error code when switching the build to android it give me a burst error code im trying to upload an avatar for both quest and pc

the one i have high lighted

[somber sequoia]

above that you have broken scripts - fix those first

[jagged canyon]

you talking to me i re did the project its already fixed im just getting that error now

it even happens when i make a blank project anmd switch it to android

heres another photo

[uncut lotus]

Hey, so my goofy ahh, copied part of an avatar from my other avatar, and saved over the texture. I had already uploded the avatar to unity and VRChat. Is there a waay to somehow get that exact texture back?

[glass solar]

@somber sequoia is it possible to freeze the slash partyle system postion in the animation

[karmic vortex]

Okay... Still having issues... But I checked the VRCCC logs and saw this after I closed the project. Nothing else seemed important but I'll send more of the logs if needed.

[spark walrus]

When I drop textures into main color/alpha they look low quality despite being 4k

Supposed to just be drag and drop for pre-made textures right?

[karmic vortex]

Check the settings they have, and typically you make them into materials.

send a screenshot, I might be able to help

[spark walrus]

I have a base avatar already but just trying to modify the textures so materials are there

[karmic vortex]

how are you trying to do that

[spark walrus]

Dragging the png into "Main color"

Idk where else to put it

[karmic vortex]

Send the png settings

Normally that's where the issue is

[spark walrus]

Ah I might see the issue, on paper they are "4k"

I should switch it to 4k right

Like in windows it says they are 4k

[karmic vortex]

I'm unsure, you could try that. But test the filter mode and mess around with the compression

depending on how you want your stuff to look, change Bilinear to no point

[spark walrus]

No point? I see bilinear and mitchell only

[karmic vortex]

In filter mode?

weird...

One moment

Here's what normally set my textures to, but these are for low poly models.

[spark walrus]

Hmmm dont have that option but I do need them to be as high quality as possible so im not sure

[karmic vortex]

That's really strange,

Turn minimaps off, sometimes that helps

Change your compression level as well

?

[spark walrus]

Hmm I did but to no avail

[karmic vortex]

Weird. I might not be very useful because it seems you're using a different version of Unity from me

[spark walrus]

2022 3 22f1

[karmic vortex]

Take a look at your material

look for something called "Render queue"

tell me what it's set to

It might be your rendering mode as well

[spark walrus]

set to 2k

[karmic vortex]

Hm,

What are your options in rendering mode?

[spark walrus]

nvm 4k

[karmic vortex]

Try setting it to "From shader"

[spark walrus]

Hmm texture looks the same

[karmic vortex]

WAIT

wait.

What did you set your textures max size to?

It looks like it's 2048

[spark walrus]

p sure its on 4k

2k/4k dosent make a difference

unfortunately

[karmic vortex]

Set it to 4096

for your texture.

Set it from 2048 to 4096 like I mentioned,

It might work

[spark walrus]

I did

I got the textures off of a creator, I saw the same textures in game they look really nice so idk at this point

[karmic vortex]

You could try changing the resize algorithm to bilinear

[spark walrus]

Didnt do much

[karmic vortex]

Did you ever check your compression settings?

Set compression to none,

might work

[spark walrus]

Nop tried

I put 1:1 settings with the original texture and it still looks bad, Idk maybe the original png wasnt done properly?

[karmic vortex]

I'm really sorry, I don't know. You can check the original png

[spark walrus]

Its alright thanks for help anyways, very positive something is wrong with the original texture. Copied the settings of the original and still low quality soo

[karmic vortex]

I hope you can find a way to fix it, good luck

[fast rain]

A piece of clothing on my avatar appears for quest, but on pc, its just white with a black outline. any help? Id be happy to send photos if needed.

[ornate stump]

Send photos

[fast rain]

the image in unity is what it's supposed to look like.

it works just fine on quest

[somber meadow]

Is the shader different on PC

[ornate stump]

It's rather materials are out of places.

[somber meadow]

You could be using a shader that isn’t culling backfaces

[fast rain]

how would i fix this?

[ornate stump]

I'm still unsure if that's the case.

[fast rain]

fair

[ornate stump]

What shader you're using?

[fast rain]

vrchat mobile toon lit

[ornate stump]

For PC also?

[fast rain]

i dont know, but heres the texture and the material

[ornate stump]

If you didn't change material and shader that means you're using the same material for both Quest and PC.

[fast rain]

im sorry but im still confused

[karmic vortex]

I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT.
Despite the project being SET to open in the current supported version of unity, it was opening a different unsupported version. I had to launch it specifically from the project with "launch from this version"

[fast rain]

im gonna go for the night and see if i can work something out in the morning.

[nocturne tendon]

in blender, does the dotted line connecting the top of the leg bone and hip bone have to be straight? or can I have it like this?

[limpid cargo]

you can ignore that, i think it just shows parenting

someone can correct me if i’m wrong though.

[nocturne tendon]

oh okay

[karmic vortex]

nevermind. It stopped working again.

[shell light]

Is there anyone who can jump in a call with me to help on a few things? If you can only help me with one that's fine.
-My fingers lock in place when I lock my gestures despite using Index controllers
-My legs bend despite my full body tracking
-I need to know how to apply tattoos to the skin without warping them.

[craggy widget]

So I updated to the new Unity- it just seems like quest is my issue. It uploaded perfectly fine on PC.

Nvm :D

[nocturne tendon]

okay so after making the entire rig for the model, i clicked the model first and shift-clicked the rig, and did CTRL + P and clicked "With Empty Groups" and tried moving any of the limbs and the model isnt moving, just the rig.

[ornate stump]

Empty Group means without weight painting.

[nocturne tendon]

oh, so when i start to manually weight paint thats when the model will start moving with the bones?

[ornate stump]

Yes.

[nocturne tendon]

im dumb haha, thanks!

[frail badger]

say i wanted to make an avatar transform, and the transformation involved changing sizes, is it better and/or possible to just have an extra armature to swap to, or could use the same armature + force a scale change? i could draw what i mean if its confusing

[somber sequoia]

I'd probably do something with a second with rotation constraints

[frail badger]

ooh i was considering that

[limpid cargo]

the third one, you need to know what the uvs look like.
then warp your tattoos accordingly

i’m sure there are other ways or programs that will warp it for you,
but this is all i know

[lost umbra]

Can someone please tell me how or where to use the "isLocal" tag? I'm trying to hide an effect that only I can see and I cant figure out what the setup supposed to look like without reference images.

I'm trying to make this so only I can see

so far, I have it setup like this as an attempt along side of having sync disabled on parameters

[timber wharf]

@lost umbra you just add it as a bool parameter to animator, same as any toggle

also case matters so its IsLocal

[lost umbra]

ok but then that would have it's own set of issues

[timber wharf]

wdym. you literally do a typical toggle, default off - islocal=true - on. done, you have local only stuff

[lost umbra]

like this?

[timber wharf]

ye

[lost umbra]

is local always on by default?

[timber wharf]

its true for avi user, its false for everyone else

[lost umbra]

ok, that was my concern but does this work with prehab "vrcfurry" that didn't come with?

it used to have this feature (without the islocal tag) but accidentally broke it

was trying to fix it as I made a lot of changes to it

[timber wharf]

vrcfury (not furry lol) can do is local itself but you must reffer their docs on toggles

[lost umbra]

typo

[timber wharf]

at least im not goot at it

@lost umbra actually you can just use any local param, ie make crosshair bool not synced, then only local user will see its being toggled on

[lost umbra]

do I not need to have the IsLocal in the parameters?

[timber wharf]

@lost umbra no

its like viseme or gesture

[lost umbra]

prior to is local, I had it like this

didn't work

since it turns on by default, (as in when I open menu, I'll have it with just is local I guess)

I have another parameter that runs when the menu is open

[timber wharf]

make it off by default and saved? then you toggle it on once in game. but ye, frcf does limit some options compared to raw

[lost umbra]

I assume this combo would allow it to work then

Off

On

Power Eyes open whenever I'm using the power which I access in the menu

Off/On

[vernal tinsel]

my tail physics are acting like they dont exist

like i didnt add them

</3 why

[ornate stump]

How did you add? Screenshot unity.

[vernal tinsel]

phys bone component

it's on cattail1

[ornate stump]

Does it show bone gizmos in the scene?

[vernal tinsel]

yeah, the white line?

[ornate stump]

Screenshot.

[ornate stump]

How did you test?

[vernal tinsel]

uhh built & test option on vrchat sdk menu thing

[ornate stump]

Does it work in play mode in unity?

[vernal tinsel]

um how do i do that

[ornate stump]

The big play button at the top of unity screen.

[vernal tinsel]

i clicked it and it just

how do i use it

[swift igloo]

Does anyone have the king karma server link?

[desert elk]

go back to scene view

[vernal tinsel]

okay

[desert elk]

and move your avatar

just don't exit play mode

[vernal tinsel]

okay

[vernal tinsel]

yeah they're there in play mode

[swift igloo]

Wrong chat mb

[ornate stump]

Use move tool to move your avatar and see how the bones move.

[vernal tinsel]

yeah they're moving

but not in vrchat

[desert elk]

is it pc or quest?

[vernal tinsel]

its pc right now

but it'll be quest

[desert elk]

ah, cause if quest then if there're more than 8 components they'll get deleted

[vernal tinsel]

yea i know abotu that

but theres only 8 with that one

</3

[vernal tinsel]

they're moving in play mode and there's only 8 components tail included

[vernal tinsel]

restarted entirely and it works. so confused tho

[sour rune]

having the weirdest issue with these wing's vrcfury prefab and i dont know whats causing them?? i tried removing the armature link to see if thats doing it but it happens even when the wings arent linked to the avatar but the full controller is there,i'v tried restarting the unity project to see if unity is hanging and tried reconfigure the physbones to see if they are just very messed up,but so far this is all im getting

[vernal tinsel]

??? 😭

[limpid cargo]

does that include colliders? or just plain physbones

[desert elk]

physbone components, everything is written in the sdk or the vrc website

[limpid cargo]

yea , i know that💦…

[cinder flower]

Is there a way to fix this? I'm uploading an avatar that I've added a sweater to Windows and Android. It's not working saying it's too big

[desert elk]

you need to make the file size smaller somehow #avatar-optimization has a lot of tips

[cinder flower]

Oh okay thank you

[inland seal]

How to fix these errors?

because now nothing works in Unity

And VrchatSDK is gone

[fast urchin]

I am trying to upload my avatar but I get this message: (See image)
When I remove my flashlight from the avatar hierarchy I can upload it without problems.
But when I put it back I can't.
Adding it or removing it doesn't change the messages I get from the SDK, only the one which tells me to fix my issues first.

What do I do?

[desert elk]

we'll, what are the issues? is it something to do with the light?

screenshot the issue cause this doesn't tell us much

[fast urchin]

I don't get any issue messages.

only some notes and warrnings

[desert elk]

screenshot it please

[desert elk]

that's with the flashlight or without?

[fast urchin]

Does not matter

[desert elk]

Huh

Why?

[fast urchin]

yes

I don't know. 😖

This is very frustrating

[desert elk]

you can uploading without the flashlight.
but can't with.
doesn't it make sense to compare the warnings between with and without?

think about it.

[fast urchin]

I already did.
No change

This is so weird

[desert elk]

there's no change between the warnings?

[fast urchin]

Why is it like this

Yes

[inland seal]

.

[fast urchin]

All I want is to have a flash light.
Why is this so hard? 😖

[balmy barn]

stating the obvious would be hard not to, there is something on it that need fixing, write default could be one

[unique surge]

are you trying to upload an avatar with vrcsdk 2.0 ?

show an image of the project how it looks in the creator companion on the packages tab

[somber sequoia]

always show the first 2-3 errors. Looks like you have something failing to compile that's breaking everything after it. Probably incompatible packages. Try upgrading to the latest.

[unique surge]

not sure if hiding the window gonna help anyone solve your issues
is that unity 2022.3.22f1?

[desert elk]

why can't you post a full screenshot? 🤔

[unique surge]

remove and re-add vrchat SDK

[inland seal]

ok

[balmy barn]

shouldnt in a library folder, thats packages - something you imported

all the files after this seems to be mess

[unique surge]

remove av3 emulator first

hm, Thulen's got a better idea apparently.

[inland seal]

huh

[inland seal]

didnt work

still same errors as before

[unique surge]

your project probably never worked in the first place by whoever you got it from

[inland seal]

I made it myself?

And it worked just fine

[unique surge]

Well, what changed?

[inland seal]

I got a big lag spike at some point and trying to rejoin studio, everything broke

[unique surge]

Yeah, seems most of the vrcSDK's errors are caused by some package files of unity being in the library folder instead

as far as I can tell

so Thulen was right

A unity dll has no place in the "library" instead of packages location, so it either was imported or moved by mistake

[inland seal]

so what do I do?

[unique surge]

i also seem to have the same files in same location in library

codegen too

[inland seal]

I still dont know what to do

[unique surge]

try making a new project is the easiest, just because it's so complex i don't know. you can also just try beforehand removing a few unity packages or maybe the "android_codegen" folder in this location

i checked, i dont have such a folder

[inland seal]

Sure

[unique surge]

in this location i have unity.burst.codegen but its inside standalonewindows64_codegen

so if a folder/location that was necessary for vrcsdk to upload to quest was deleted, that's what might be happening now

also delete from your windows files the "settings.json" from what should look like this location

you can also go to the unity hub installs and select 2022.3.22f1 - add modules - and make sure it says "installed" here

[inland seal]

Works now

[balmy barn]

for now id avoid 3.8.0 it has some issues changing physbone values in playmode and that annoying popup whenever you try to upload (still on 3.7.6 here)

[inland seal]

ok

[jagged canyon]

Can some one help me with this error please . I only happens when I switch the build to Android. Im thinking of re installing everything because this uh really broken it happens when I start a new project.

[tiny vector]

i need help too

[desert elk]

send top 2-3 errors

[tiny vector]

buuut-

there are 333

[desert elk]

the rest are most likely side effects of the top

[tiny vector]

oki doki 1 sec

[desert elk]

other idea
clear console
try to do whatever you tried to do again
send top 2-3

[jagged canyon]

im asuming no one knows how to fix my error code?

[lime gorge]

how to have avatar expressions???

[desert elk]

they're msot often blenshapes

[lime gorge]

i litterally cant toggle them on pc

[desert elk]

that you make animations for

[lime gorge]

pc sucks

[desert elk]

vr pc or desktop?

[lime gorge]

desktop\

[desert elk]

are they mapped to hand gestures?

here's keybinds for desktop hand gestures (left shift - left hand, right shift - right hand)

[desert elk]

do you have android build support installed?

[jagged canyon]

Yes I do

[desert elk]

if you need help, you'll get it here, not in my dms, please and thank you

[jagged canyon]

At least I think I do instaled it by the sdk

[tiny vector]

oki doki

[dapper matrix]

I'm currently looking to add a sound to a mamehinata avi with it's pet_happy contact, but besides making a whole new animation just to do that, I'm not sure how else to have the sound play when being pet

[jagged canyon]

I'm re installing unity version so hopefully that fixes it ;-;

It's something with unity it's self

[timber wharf]

@dapper matrix https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/state-behaviors/#animator-play-audio (but overall all stuff on avis is a new animation, whats about it?)

[fast urchin]

So nobody can think of why my flashlight might not be working?

[desert elk]

are your write defaults all okay? you never answered

cause there is something wrong

[somber sequoia]

You didn't show any error messages though

Nothing we can tell you given the information provided.

[desert elk]

that's what i said

[somber sequoia]

But if it's quest, no lights allowed on Quest avatars.

[fast urchin]

But there were no other messages than these:

[somber sequoia]

none of that is a build-blocking error. Clear the console, build again, look in the console.

[fast urchin]

I cant even build. that message is in the way

[timber wharf]

@fast urchin if its vrcf then you need to check stats in playmode, dont you

[fast urchin]

in play mode?

you mean press play in unity?

[timber wharf]

well ye and with any emulator installed, like gesture manager

since vrcf applies its stuff on upload

or in playmode

[fast urchin]

okay ill try that

next time

[rain cave]

Hey for some reason when i go in to play mode / VR (even when all colliders are off) my hair folds in to it self. This happened since i started using my hair on scale 1.25

[desert elk]

is it maybe weight painted to the arms? 🤔

[rain cave]

wouldnt explain it only happening when i scale it to 1.25

[desert elk]

ah i see

i don't scale things in unity, so i wouldn't know

[rain cave]

yeah i do it for an slider in an animation

[burnt briar]

does anyone know how to use the IKE HUD prefab as i cant get it to work

[vale grail]

??????????

[desert elk]

is this the only error?

[shell light]

I could really use someone in a call to walk me through how to keep from freezing my fingers when i lock gestures. I'm not good with walkthroughs and no youtube videos specifically tackle what i need

[desert elk]

you'll just attact scammers

tbh

[shell light]

scammers how? i literally just need a "go here and click that and untick that box and youre done"

[timid terrace]

They will try to rope you to pay them to get it outsourced to someone else basically

[desert elk]

this

if you say your dms are open it will attract bad people

[shell light]

block buttons are a wonderous thing

i appreciate the concern tho

[desert elk]

just letting you know, so you're aware

[somber sequoia]

freezing your fingers?

[rain cave]

so gravity is causing this anybody having an idea why the gravity at 1 makes bones that are >1 scale act that way?

[heavy zephyr]

Physbones don't collide with each other. Gravity at 1 is a very strong value, there's nothing preventing them from all being pulled down extra hard, resulting in what you see. I would suggest lowering gravity a lot.

[rain cave]

tbf i take back what i actually said it is even with gravity at 0 even worse...

[heavy zephyr]

Your scaling for them doesn't appear to be uniform

[limpid cargo]

did you make sure to scale the bones exactly as much as the body?

[heavy zephyr]

That could cause issues

[rain cave]

now it is hmm

[heavy zephyr]

Still isn't

Look at your scaling on x,y,z

It's all different

[rain cave]

oh yeah hm but that would make the air weirdly looking

[limpid cargo]

the scaling all has to be uniform

if not things get wonky

[heavy zephyr]

Yeah, it's a bone, by default it should be uniform

[rain cave]

oh but it worked when i scale it down?

[heavy zephyr]

Show us?

[heavy zephyr]

Might be that lower values don't affect it much. But yeah, I would keep it at 1,1,1 and edit it in blender if needed

[rain cave]

okay thx!

[thin tendon]

Not sure if this is the right channel to ask, but my friend's vroid avatars suddenly don't have properly working dynamic bones. We are not sure what causing it, because some works some doesn't. Sometimes the same avatar decides to work, sometimes it doesn't. We pretty much use dynamic bones in hair, so its a bit odd.

[desert elk]

dynamic bones aren't supported anymore, do you mean physbones?

[thin tendon]

Ah perhaps, yeah

[desert elk]

two different things

[thin tendon]

Was the support ended recently? We only noticed this issue yesterday

[desert elk]

nope

a long while back

[thin tendon]

I guess we've been using physbones then

[desert elk]

it'd be better if your friend joined and asked themselves tbh
it'd be easier to get screenshots and better information that way

[thin tendon]

Thats fair, jsut wanted to know if there was a recent patch maybe that broke stuff

or something liek that

[desert elk]

not that i know of

[thin tendon]

alright thanks!

[grizzled sigil]

finished my avi and went to upload but keep getting this error? if anyone could help me figure this out please?

[balmy barn]

doesnt matter, see top red ones

[grizzled sigil]

yeah

[lyric acorn]

Wont let me make any android compatible avis, tried manually installing it too deleted and reinstalled aswell not sure whats up if anyone knows like a fix or like smth i could try lmk 🙏

[grizzled sigil]

this is the error above the other one, im not sure where to enable streaming mipmaps

[timber wharf]

its in texture setting, same youd go to downscale. but there should be autofix button in your sdk verification and upload panel

[grizzled sigil]

I did the auto fix and its still an issue lo so ill probably have to do it manually

[desert elk]

did you try downloading android build support by pressing the "Open Download..." button on the right?

[grizzled sigil]

got it!

issue was a hair texture i added didnt have it enabled so I did it manually!

[raw oak]

does anyone know how to fix this, im trying to use the cats plugin and when i try and do stuff with the armature this error pops up.

[balmy barn]

ancient cats version, get newer

https://catsblenderplugin.xyz/index.html (unoffical one)

[raw oak]

👍

[opal raft]

how do I make the pant texture move?

I know theres a way with like poiyomi or something with mobile shaders but i forgot

[limpid cargo]

umm so if i just take a basic mesh (no rig or weights) and parent it to my avatar’s hand in unity, does it still count as a basic mesh? or is it immediately skinned now that it’s parented to my rig

[hollow grove]

Soo...

[desert elk]

that's not supported

for particles use multiply or additive

[hollow grove]

why is it there then

[desert elk]

for avatars toon lit, matcap lit, standard lite

[desert elk]

because the sdk is kinda old and doesn't make sense sometimes

[hollow grove]

dang alr

[desert elk]

the shader section at least

[slate lantern]

By the chance anyone know a clothing package or a sweater that would fit on this avi?

Avi is called Bitty Bee from the BOOTH shop by bluegua. It's not really a big avi and most the the shirts I searched on gumroad doesn't seem to really fit this avi, and might need to build a blender model of a shirt from scratch.

[desert elk]

any if you use blender and sculpt it to fit

realistically you can get any sweater, import it to Blender and sculpt it to fit your avatar. Even attach it there, instead of Unity.

[slate lantern]

Mannnnn. ;-;

[desert elk]

🤷

that's just my view

[timber wharf]

optimised shader for worlds. same as panosphere or shadowmapped

[serene osprey]

the only error thats stopping me from uploading, ive checked everything and couldnt find what the error is talking about, (im somewhat new to this, this is my fourth attempt in avi making) any ideas?

[desert elk]

checked particles too?

[serene osprey]

doesnt have particles

[opal raft]

still need help if anyone knows

[desert elk]

I believe you can use QuestTools to find the material, but I'm not 100% sure

[serene osprey]

how would i do that?

[desert elk]

idk, never used it

I just heard some people mention it

[timber wharf]

i dont think it shows you them. but it does create a copy of avi with every used material converted to toon lit.

[barren ridge]

hey i just bought an avatar from NLD and its a floppiii avatar but i seem to not be able to get it to upload can someone help me pls

[limpid cargo]

if anyone knows the answer to this pls

[desert elk]

what errors are you getting

[serene osprey]

taking from what i understood from that, i copy and pasted the model (with everything in it), killed the original, then it worked. thank you

[barren ridge]

these are the errors that appear

[desert elk]

try again

[barren ridge]

ive tried like 3 times now

[desert elk]

ah and those are the only errors?

top ones

[barren ridge]

oh wait ya there are more

[proud otter]

Hey just a quick question isn't "Proxybase" like old and isn't used anymore in avis??

[barren ridge]

ok it just uploaded now i dont know why

im going to go test it out now to see if it worked

[jade spindle]

I’m gonna start trying to make avatars, I have a Quest 2 and a MacBook Air, anyone now of some tips for me or like apps/systems I can use to start making them?

[desert elk]

Blender

Unity

Something you'll do the textures in

[shell light]

my particles are scaling with distance when I dont want them too, any advice?

[night ember]

I forget but its either max particle size or min particle size set it to 2

[worthy bramble]

i just added a karambit asset to my avi and its a pretty big avi so im not surprised to get this i just dont know how to fix it.

i have some parameters i can remove but idk where to do it

[shell light]

just made it bigger

[desert elk]

the parameters list

[worthy bramble]

dis one? how do i get it to show

[night ember]

then shrink it down

[desert elk]

click on your avatar and scroll down.

there's you'll see main menu and parameters

[fast urchin]

I could finally build, but this happened:

Got this one too

[worthy bramble]

bros got my issue

[worthy bramble]

yeah but the params doesnt seem to override the limit.

[fast urchin]

Maybe.
What can I do about it?

[desert elk]

if using vrcfury it'll add more

[worthy bramble]

then its gotta stop

i wish it would add em so i could see them

oh found it

is it enough to just click the minus or do i gotta remove the whole thing

[worthy bramble]

so when u click on the avi under the inspector there should be a menu and params under expressions. i cycled through the params to see which one was filled

[fast urchin]

I can't find what you mean.

[fast urchin]

Ah yes found it.
Now what?

[worthy bramble]

u see that little dot on the right

when u press it it shows up all ur params i guess it is

remember the one it has on default

and go through them all

and the one thats full

ig

remove them

tahts what im doing

u gotta remove some things

or move them but idk how

ok wait

BRUHG

[fast urchin]

Ok
I think you select them and go to the bottom and press minus

[worthy bramble]

u can also

the boxes with check marks

if its to the right it should be uinder synced att the top

u need to uncheck them

i think that works

try removing some like emotes

that removes a few

im not an expert but im trying to upload it now

ok it doesnt let u it adds them back

COOKED

[fast urchin]

Hmm

[vernal tinsel]

can someon help me with clothing toggles? trying to do the simplest way for me to change between pants

[left gull]

just make a radial toggle for them

[vernal tinsel]

yeah but i don't know how

this is my first time doing toggles

trying to switch between these

it wont let me drag the textures on when im animating

im wanting someone to walk me through it if that's okay im a hands on learner

[worthy bramble]

idk what works anymore but if ur confident u can try what im doing. try doing a manual one without vrc fury.

[prisma thunder]

Ctrl L exists??

I have been selecting each vertice individually

Like every single one to make a blendshape

[desert elk]

just L for me

[left gull]

Theres alot of little helpful macros/shortcut keybinds with blender though it sucks they generally change them every few versions or so, i think on their site they offer manuals for each version's basic keybinds though iirc

[fast urchin]

Ok
I removed a bunch of parameters and their menu equivalent and now it finally is able to upload.
I think I need to alter my avatar so my preferences are just it's default shape.
Than I have more room for more expressions.

[limpid cargo]

oh you poor thing… 🥲

in recent versions (i use 4.3.2), L selects linked and and shift+L deselects linked

i couldn’t imagine selecting every vertice omg! 😖

you can also change whether it selects linked by seams, uvs, normals, material, etc…

[somber sequoia]

they do slightly different things

[desert elk]

ah I see

[arctic dagger]

ok gang nvm my nvm ... i hhave a transparent material using poyomi pro , and whenever i lwoer the camera height it does this? does anyone know how i can fix this ,, ty 😭

[somber sequoia]

what are we looking at here?

explain.

[arctic dagger]

when i move the camera down, the pink stops rendering over any other material

[shell light]

look no matter what parameters I set this thing to, the flash looks bigger the farther away you are. It's at .1 min and .5 max and its still blinding

[somber sequoia]

you'll need to provide more details on how this is supposed to work

[arctic dagger]

i hope this helps? its just supposed to be transparent and always show over the other meshes

[somber sequoia]

nothing in here describes how you are doing the "always show over other meshes" thing

[arctic dagger]

its just a mesh on top of another one ,, the material is meant to be transparent ( like silk) so the body behind is meant to be able to be seen through it but it is dissapearing completely

im sorry for poor explanations im autistic 😭

[somber sequoia]

yeah I'm not really sure what the issue is here.

are you doing anything with the render queue values?

stencils maybe?

[shell light]

bounding box i think is what they mean

at certain angles the mesh disapeears

that sound about right?

[somber sequoia]

is this a separate mesh object? that wasn't made clear

[arctic dagger]

the mesh is seperate yes, but its not the mesh dissapearing, it just seems to clip behind the other meshes

[shell light]

oh idk then

[somber sequoia]

yeah, not sure I have enough detail to guess

[arctic dagger]

its ok thank you guys for your help, its a shader issue

so if,,,, anyone else has advice for poyomis stuypid transparency id appriciate it ,!

[shell light]

i watched the video and I see what they mean

its weird how thats reacting.

[somber sequoia]

I see what it's doing but don't have enough info to say why

[night ember]

Thats why I said to set it to 2

I just forgot if it was the min or max that need to be 2 to get rid of the scaling

[peak shuttle]

I'm trying to make white hair in poiyomi, but it always ends up grey. its not uvs because alpha works and putting a pure white texture does the same thing. any thoughts?

[lyric acorn]

yea

[arctic dagger]

does taking the texture out fix it?

[peak shuttle]

no

[arctic dagger]

try making an entirely new material perhaps and if that also doesnt work check your world lighting maybe !

[peak shuttle]

this is in unity

and it does the same thing when uploaded

ive tried a entirely new material

[arctic dagger]

do you not have these icons / tabs ?

[peak shuttle]

I dont

lemme pull that one up

[arctic dagger]

what version of unity are you using if i can ask ?

[arctic dagger]

i have done all i can 🫡 i hope someone else can help you !!

[peak shuttle]

thankies!

nvm got it

👍

[prisma thunder]

Alright, I have one skinned mesh with a few material slots. How could I create a toggle that swaps the material of a specific slot?

[somber sequoia]

doesn't matter how many slots, just record changing the specific one.

[prisma thunder]

I can change mats in an animation?

[ornate stump]

Just record you changnig the material in the renderer.

[prisma thunder]

yeah

I just didn't know that was recorded lol

[ornate stump]

Do you see it's recorded now?

[prisma thunder]

One moment

[somber sequoia]

of course you can

[spare lantern]

so i was updateing my UVmaps on my boots for my model in blender.
that part worked.

but when i went to update my model in unity it just didnt update the uvijkou

sorry

mistyped and fatfingered

lemme try again

so i was updateing my UVmaps on my boots for my model in blender.
that part worked.

but when i went to update my model in unity the updated UV didnt work

i tried marking seams
i tried making a new fbx
i remade the UVmap

but the model in unity just refuses to acknowledge the change to the uvmap

[radiant pewter]

So I'm hoping someone might be able to help me here because I can't seem to find an answer on Google so I turn to the help section for help. lol So I've been adding an asset to avis that I've bought and uploaded and it seems that adding it is making the toggles go out of sync with the Quest avi. I've made sure that all the toggles are properly synced and it looks like they are but I'm not a 100% sure. For more content I'm adding a follower asset that relies on VRCFury and again these are avis that I'm just slapping a new asset onto so I'm definity doing something not completely right. The upload instructions for the asset do just say to put it onto the avi roots and VRCFury will do the rest but somehow it's messing with the the rest of the toggle syncs as well even though they look fine. Any help would be great, Thank you. ❤️

[timber wharf]

@radiant pewter https://vrcfury.com/tutorials/quest

probably

@spare lantern are you sure theres just one uvmap in blender?

[south rain]

This question isnt about unity, i have a question about an avatar i really liked that was free to use but suddenly locked with an avatar lock, not aure if its patreon because the avatar doesnt show its patreon stuff.

ThriftM8's avatar "Disko Rex" was one i loved and no longer have the access, if anybody that knows the Password please DM, this is not an attempt to steal it, just like the avi

[ornate stump]

Unauthorized access is pretty much the same as stealing.

[south rain]

Looking for info on the patreon, or if its locked to avoid avatar ripping.

I looked for thriftyM8 and cant find them

[ornate stump]

Password protection doesn't prevent ripping, unless you meant force cloning. And if you really allowed to access, you should ask password directly from the author.

[true hollow]

It sounds like there looking for the authors details to contact them.

[south rain]

I friended them but nobody friend back ppl they dont know.

[ornate stump]

They literally "asked for a password".

[true hollow]

Yes, but they followed up by saying there going to there patreon, your assuming malicious intent.

If there trying to reach the author and ask thats fair game.

Is that whats happening @south rain ?

[south rain]

I mean, dont get me wrong, even if someone else had the password id take it, but if its a paid thing to have id rather do that.

I just dont see a patreon of details within the avatar to info me

[true hollow]

Hopefully youll find there details and be able to obtain it authentically!!

[ornate stump]

Is it really supposed to be public access if there is no info provided?

[south rain]

Its public? Id kinda assume.

[ornate stump]

Some public avatar is meant for a person or a group of people to use only, so that's one reason for password protected.

[true hollow]

Only the author would know ultimately! Without speculating its better to get information from the source, i hope you find them !!

[ornate stump]

Better direct contact with the author. You would never know authencity when you got the password from a random people.

[deep siren]

question - i was under the impression all avatars would automatically have collision to touch their hair and stuff, but she couldn't and other people could

[torn geyser]

You gotta enable collision on physbones

Its like at the bottom of the settings I think

[torn geyser]

^

[timber wharf]

@deep siren collision radius by default is 0 so it wont interact, you must set proper radius

[reef zealot]

Is there a way to customise exactly how the finger curl, thumb movement etc looks on an avatar for those using index controllers?

[rotund pawn]

Would someone be willing to help me upload my first avatar from gumroad? Still very new to this

[night ember]

It should give you instructions

[wanton cedar]

Guys im just curious about this, I get the poi part, but the vrcfury part is a head scratcher. Are we not allowed to put vrcfury on any quest avatar or do we think its just this persons? (This is from GM, love em)

[night ember]

That makes no sense

Unity projects can freely switch between pc and quest

The only thing that matters is if the current avatar is following quest restrictions

[wanton cedar]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[rotund pawn]

The creator doesn't have any directions posted or within the purchase

[left gull]

Both of the things listed generally can be in your project though id contact them directly about their reasons for telling customers not to do this as they might have some special setup for their content that breaks with these imported

[glass solar]

how do you freeze a rotation constraint

[night ember]

Disable it the same way you do a world constraint

[glass solar]

well ive never disabled it like how one would do to a world constraint so could you explain?

[arctic ginkgo]

make sure both you and the person you want to interact with have your interaction settings set appropriately

[night ember]

Have a rotation constraint thats frozen to world
Then have a reset constraint below it and whever you disable the reset constraint it freezes

[arctic ginkgo]

if you're not friends, it needs to be set to everyone, if you are friends, set it to friends or everyone. Make sure you didn't force interactions off for this person, and that disable self interactions and pause avatar interactions are both disabled

[wanton cedar]

Will do so 🫡

[glass solar]

1: how do you even have a constrint that frozen to the world

2: I dont have a reset constraint

[grim valley]

anyway to apply visemes to multiple skin meshes? im a lil slow and decided to make toggles that disable/enable gameobjects of the whole body to change skin colors, but that causes visemes to break

[desert elk]

Just do a material switch... that poor performance...

[grim valley]

no vrcfury way to me no know how

[desert elk]

?

vrc fury can do material switches

you can also do them manually

there's a lot of tutorials online

[grim valley]

its multiple materials though

and vrcf only allows for radial that is 0 and 100

no in between

;(

[desert elk]

I'm not sure I follow

you're basically multiplying your polygon count by however much colours you have, this is very bad

[grim valley]

is that wat flipbook is

omg

im so smaaart

sorry

[desert elk]

mhm

do that instead

[burnt briar]

does anyone know how to use the IKE HUD prefab as i cant get it to work, i asked yesterday and no body gave me an answer

[graceful latch]

Hi hi! I’m having a weird issue where my finger movements aren’t synced to other vrc users. I can see my fingers moving but they can’t unless they hide and then re-show my avatar. I don’t use gestures and this issue happens with both my index controllers and quest controllers. It’s definitely an issue with my avi itself but I’ve never come across this issue so idk how to fix it. Any help is appreciated!!

[pseudo furnace]

Hi there, I'm having trouble with an avatar. I added some clothes and a few other modifications but now it's saying a prefab is missing. Can anyone help me?

[desert elk]

you need to add the prefab that you're missing

[pseudo furnace]

I obviously don't know which prefab is missing. I try putting it on and it tells me there's a script error.

[desert elk]

the errors should tell you

screenshot the top 2-3 errors

[fast urchin]

Reminds me of some of my situations.
They tell me:
Look at the errors.
Me looking at the console.
Look back at chat:
What errors? 🙃

[desert elk]

how do they know there's a prefab missing if there's no errors?

[torpid flame]

So are the phys bone dynamics still not translating in unity

No matter how i mess with the sliders the dynmics dont change

[random palm]

could someone help, what does this mean

[ornate stump]

#avatar-help message

[random palm]

im very new and still dont understand 😭

[desert elk]

you can't have a mesh be named the same thing as bone

you will need to rename the mesh in blender

[fast urchin]

Hi.
I was thinking of making custom fallback avatars for low end hardware.
How do I upload a different avatar as a fallback for another avatar?

[balmy barn]

pc & android avatar thats both good rated, upload on same blueprint - it can now be enabled as a custom fallback

( quest one is 'fun' <10k vertices requirement )

i tend to chop off hands or put a hat to make them bald🐇 way less verticies now

< right over 10k limit vs one thats under 10k on left > , goodbye skirt and hands

[fast urchin]

Cool, but how do I do that?
Last time I tried to upload an avatar, that the SDK thought was different, it uploaded it as a new avatar despite being named the same.
How do I upload it as the same avatar but for a different platform?

[balmy barn]

upload windows one , switch to android upload another using same blueprint the pc have ( look in content manager tab to find it or copy it from descriptor on the windows one ), after that a fallback tab should be in the sdk.. .somewhere been a long time since ive done it back when sdk didnt look like it does now

ios is also a thing you can upload for ( i dont bother )

[prisma thunder]

How do I use the steam VR gestures as the Default on my avatar

This video explains what I mean.

Basically, whenever I turn off gestures and I'm on steam VR, it gives me much better hand tracking.

[spark walrus]

Why is it that when I replace textures on a material they end up being very low quality? I tried with other PNGs as well and ran into the same issue. I made the texture 1:1 with the original which looks fine but nothing works. Tried turning off compression completely, setting the texture to 4k, nothing

[fast urchin]

What do you mean with blueprint?
(Also I never do iOS too, mostly because it is always grayed out for me)

[desert elk]

Blueprint ID

[fast urchin]

Yeah.
Where do I find that?
And where can I enter it?

[desert elk]

upload pc version, copy id, paste it to the quest version

upload quest version

done

[fast urchin]

Ah.
The pipeline manager.
I did wonder what that was for.
Thanks.

[prisma thunder]

Eliot my bestie 🙏

I think I'm almost actually done with my avatar

[desert elk]

nice!

[prisma thunder]

Guh

I still need to know how to do that 🙏

[prisma thunder]

How do I stop a physbone from moving without contact?

My nose just keeps flopping around

lol

[desert elk]

there's an ignore transform section, if that's what you're asking for

[prisma thunder]

I don't think it is

I want the nose to move when it's touched, but I don't want it to move when I move my head or walk

[light phoenix]

how do you make something local only? I know that i need to use the islocal tag but but i don't know how to do that

[somber sequoia]

the immobile slider can help here

[somber sequoia]

what's the something? You don't need IsLocal for some things, it depends on what you are doing

[light phoenix]

I've been trying to add night vision

[somber sequoia]

it's more I mean not what the actual thing is, but how you have it setup? If it's run by a menu toggle you can just uncheck "Synced" and it'll only work for you

[wraith geyser]

hello, i just got this avi i'm trying to customize. The issue is the Fx layer is empty, but when testing with gesture manager the avi has toggles. I'm very confused, it seems everything is built in with vrcfury, but i don't see any vrcfury component to modify. Please help
the only vrcfury thing i see is the "write default fix"

[somber sequoia]

it's probably animators added by other vrc fury prefabs on your avatar in the hierarchy, not on the avatar descriptor.

any of them with a "full controller" component would probably have animation layers

[wraith geyser]

ok you were right

[somber sequoia]

yeah those will and animations too

[wraith geyser]

every clothes has his own components

how the heck im supposed to convert this to quest

vrc quest tool just copied the empty fx , ofc

[somber sequoia]

what about these need converting?

[wraith geyser]

i mean thats litteraly my mission on this project, a friend asked me to make it quest compatible

[balmy barn]

Depends what its stats are , bad likely blender time

[desert elk]

Blender time!

[light phoenix]

I'm using VRC Fury, i turn off sync and it keeps turning it back on

[mental estuary]

Considering you're trying to make an asset local only, if the toggle is made with VRCFury you can go into the toggle's options and enable local state. That'll let you toggle on local but do nothing on remote

If the toggle is inside the full controller, then you can go into the full controller's parameters and uncheck synced

[bright pebble]

Hello, I'm trying to create this shader effect. Can someone help me?

https://x.com/i/status/1899486890157277653

[somber sequoia]

an avatar shader? There's a few that already support outlines, such as Poiyomi.
Also #shaders

[bright pebble]

How could I do it? I don't understand all that.

[somber sequoia]

I'm not sure what to tell you other than to pick a shader that you like the effect of, and read its documentation. Such as: https://www.poiyomi.com/outlines/

[soft thistle]

hmm something's not right with Rosie's right hand, it shows the inside of the right end of the jacket

[pearl fable]

Is it possible to make an object follow the players camera? I play on desktop and added something to my head but the head bobbing when walking messes things up, but I still need the y value to match the head so it moves along whilst crouching/prone. What do I do?

[junior marsh]

Just got a Quest Pro and I wanted to add Face Tracking to my Avatar. It's a VRoid Avatar, which is why the Belndshapes are different.

Is there a way to auto remapp the blendshapes to UE blendshapes without doing it manually?

Been stuck on it since like yesterday.
Any help would be appreciated!

[pearl fable]

another issue is that my head doesn't move up/down all the way so it doesn't rotate fully

[night ember]

no

[pearl fable]

well that stinks, thx anyway!

[dusky zealot]

Hi, so i have a problem with this avatar. So i've got done with retexturing this rexouium avi, and now there are these weird lines on the body. Anybody who knows how to fix it?

[night ember]

edge of the uv

[dusky zealot]

How do i do that? (im new to making avatars) and i use substance painter to retexture

[night ember]

textures are pixels while uvs arent

you need to paint a little over to account for bleeding

if the uv is entirely connected together with no spacing between each section then you need to redo the uv

[somber sequoia]

There's an option for Substance to do this automatically, I forget what it is though, project setting for sure.

(which assumes yes, there are spaces between islands)

[dusky zealot]

Now i may ask a stupid question but what is a UV

[dusky zealot]

Arh rip it would be helpful tho lol

[night ember]

its how the mesh is mapped to a flat texture

[somber sequoia]

U and V here are the coordinates in that map - x,y,z,w were all taken already 🙂

[desert elk]

xDd

[somber sequoia]

once upon a time I worked at a studio and thought all the artists were talking about "ultraviolet"

[dusky zealot]

Oh fair

[night ember]

what even is the w coordinate used for I forgor

[somber sequoia]

uhh...

[night ember]

the 3d projection of the flat uv apparently

based on a quick google

[azure pawn]

Is there a way I can export a mesh from unity while preserving submeshes and attached textures? I need to bring it back to blender to add a blend shape for squashing the arms of my model.

[timber wharf]

but why would you need submeshes and textures for that

[desert elk]

yeah, I don't see why that's necessary

[timber wharf]

backup project - import fbx that needs editing - edit - just overwrite file in assets - done

[desert elk]

and you just take the fbx from the assets and import it to blender to edit

yeah and override

[lavish bridge]

[raven summit]

i have a question , i am completely relearning blender from the ground up and i was wondering if any avatar creators could give me some tips on how to start modeling ? what is the best file to start on blender? what are the best ways to break in making models ? anything helps

i say "a question" when i asked several lol, oh well

[jagged canyon]

I have a question as well on my avatar in game the lips don't move while I'm talking but they move just fine in unity how do I fix that

[timber wharf]

@jagged canyon make sure every viseme slot is populated, cant have -None- ones

[jagged canyon]

It's still not working-(edit nvm I fixed it)

[snow valve]

can someone help me fix this. im abit new to unity and uploading avatars

[jagged canyon]

You got it pined to the wrong bone I think

[soft thistle]

is there a way to fix the right hand transparency? in blender, it looks normal, but in unity, it looks off

[raven summit]

is this a good start to modeling chat 🥀 any tips ?

[thorn mica]

i gotta ask, is it normal for some person in a random mutual server to ask for someone to commission them?
