[left gull]

No and depending on the server is generally against the rules and should be reported since they're 99% scammers

[thorn mica]

right

i have more info, they have a fiverr acc, they’ve showed me pictures of their past work, it isnt ai generated and they look kinda valid to me tho

[left gull]

no call-outs here but especially if its fiverr "creator" then it's better to be safe then sorry + if its this server specifically advertising/going into peoples dms to ask that isnt allowed and should be reported here: https://discord.com/channels/189511567539306508/1136424661274599444

ive yet to see a vrchat creator/commissioner whos legit and uses fiverr since theres far better and safer alternatives

[thorn mica]

what are some safer alternatives if you don’t mind me asking, i wanna find a good place to commission avatars n stuff

[left gull]

Safest one from what ive seen is VRCTraders, theres a link in #1204490664637890580 they do a pretty good verification of the people whom get the commissioner role

[thorn mica]

ooo oke i’ll check that out later, thanks for the advice and tips!

[neat elk]

How to fix missing parameters?

[somber sequoia]

add them to the avatar parameters list

[lost umbra]

How do you use parent constraint for Quest? the rotation doesnt work on quest like pc

[somber sequoia]

you're using VRC Parent Constraints, right? Not the Unity one?

[lost umbra]

yeah

none of the rotation is working. parent constraint isn't working at all

[wanton cedar]

Do we know of an easy way to make another set of arms work with your main arms? I see it everywhere, but im not sure if you just weight paint the lower arms the same or if its a script

[somber sequoia]

I'd make bones specifically for the extra arms, and use rotation constraints to drive them from the main arms.

[lost umbra]

going to try this next

[somber sequoia]

you don't want the source and target being the same object

[wanton cedar]

do you think vrc fury could help with this?

[somber sequoia]

I cannot think of how it would be of any real use here

[junior void]

Maybe if you make the arms its own asset and merge it using armature link

[somber sequoia]

that's about all, but that seems quite silly

[junior void]

But thatd be... not so wise

Ye

[wanton cedar]

so pretty much just use rotation constraints?

[somber sequoia]

that's how I've done things like this, yes

[wanton cedar]

okay, thank you

[lost umbra]

the up and down isn't working either though

not just rotation

[junior void]

You can copy the existing arms 1 to 1 beside naming

[lost umbra]

also, arm is no good since it needs to follow the moving target syste

[wanton cedar]

I can't wait to get this done and over with

[lost umbra]

so what the setting should be then?

on the PC version, this is what works

I need to do that on quest

and get it to work

[somber sequoia]

for what? I'm not really following what you are doing, all I did was note that you have to use the right component.

[lost umbra]

it's a moving (blend tree) seat where I can lift people into the air and move them around. On pc it works and up until recently, it was sorta working for quest as well but no clue why. I just hit the auto fix when uploading it to quest. But now, its' no longer working and reverting the settings didn't help. I know it's possible but no clue what I'm supposed to do to get it to work

[limpid cargo]

what kind of mask?

[somber sequoia]

probably use the mask as the fac input in a mix node

[limpid cargo]

ohh i think i read it incorrectly

i confuse map and mask a lot

sorry sorry

[somber sequoia]

yeah I did at first too

[limpid cargo]

i actually don’t know the difference… i will look into it

i just know that they are a different thing

[somber sequoia]

mask: white = where
map: color/whatever = where and what

masks are generally used to "show or not show" things.

[limpid cargo]

that sounds like alpha map to me 💦

but maybe i am incorrect

[somber sequoia]

an alpha map contains data about how much alpha is applied where

[limpid cargo]

hmmm… i still don’t understand it
i’ll do internet search on it 🙇🏻‍♀️ thank you much though!

[somber sequoia]

this is more useful for talking about something like emission. You have a black/white mask, white = emit, black = nothing.
Then you can have a map which is multi-color and such, and when you apply both, only the white parts of the mask will allow showing the colors from the map

a fun thing to do is to use a mask to only show emission in some parts, then use a scrolling that's like a grid or checkerboard or something fun

[limpid cargo]

ohhh that make sense now actually..
thank you a lot for explaining it to me, i feel little bad because i could have searched it online instead of inconveniencing a little bit 💦💦

[lost umbra]

so any help on how to get this to work?

[somber sequoia]

again, I just offered one bit of advice, I'm not like, actively working on your issue or anything here

[limpid cargo]

i’m pretty sure that auto fix maybe broken it.
if you built it with the original component in mind, having it being altered probably messes something up
but i don’t know really, that is just a guess for me.

[lost umbra]

why did auto fix work first time but dosen't anymore?

and what does it do exactly?

@somber sequoia @limpid cargo #avatar-quest message for more info here

[limpid cargo]

i don’t know! i just offered my idea of it, but really i don’t know 🙇🏻‍♀️💦

[somber sequoia]

... seriously, please stop pinging me about this

[mint mango]

Is there a way to do a little test animation in unity to make sure all the animations are working correctly?

[limpid cargo]

av3 avatar emulator or just play the animations in unity itself

[vast peak]

Im begging for help /gen

pls someone peak at this model

and tell me if I should trash it and restart

OR if I should keep going / somehow fix it

[limpid cargo]

it would help if you sent images or recording of the model instead.
many people are not willing to download your files.

[vast peak]

Im losing my mind bc the vertices seemed to have duplicated? some how over eachother

[vast peak]

Icic thank u

[somber sequoia]

mesh -> clean up -> merge by distance

[somber sequoia]

#3d-modeling does exist too FYI

[vast peak]

I've tried that a number of times. Could it be the symmetry moddifier I have?

[somber sequoia]

that just merges close vertices - you said something about duplication, this can clean it up

[vast peak]

Icic. Is there a better way to mirror the mesh rather than a moddifier?

Cause even when I merge by distance I go back to editting and I still find duplicated vertices

[somber sequoia]

that should work pretty well, assuming you've set things up right

what do you mean duplicated exactly though?

[vast peak]

Like, youll go to move the vertices either via scaling or whatever, and another is in its place when it's moved.

[mint mango]

Would you know how to run it in unity? Sorry im super new to unity

[vast peak]

almost like there is two meshes.

[somber sequoia]

okay, yeah, not sure how you caused that but you may just have to clean things up by hand

[vast peak]

(s)pain

thank yall I appreciate it

[mint mango]

You can triangulate, and turn convert tris to quads to get rid of that giant polygon in the center of the face

I usually dont fuq with polygons with more than 4 sides

[vast peak]

yeah i've been having trouble with that lmao

one of the issues I was also having was making vertices and theyu just wouldnt be attached to the faces behind them

[somber sequoia]

I almost never actually make new vertices

[mint mango]

Although with these quick fixes, you might end up with something that looks better, but the typology might make rigging a little painful

or maybe not i dunno i havent done very much rigging so give it a shot

[somber sequoia]

it's a quadruped - it's already going to take a LOT of work

[vast peak]

This is more of a personal project just for fun, I didnt plan on using it for vrchat

[somber sequoia]

though you could

[vast peak]

But Im doing it sort of in the same way to get the feel overall for making avatars

Should I reduce the amount of vertices?

[mint mango]

What i usually do is sculpt my model with as many faces as i need, and then remesh it or decimate it for a quick and dirty solution, or do manual retopology for a really clean but really tedious solution

[limpid cargo]

youtube tutorials are your best friend here. i cannot really explain to you very well

[mint mango]

Thats alright!

[next wigeon]

For some reason the majority of VRC packages are not showing up yet I have them installed from the VCC

[somber sequoia]

eyeball in the upper-right

[mint mango]

So whenever i use gesture manager, it rotates my model on its side, then teleports it 280 meters away for no reason. Then after stopping it, the avatar goes back to its usual spot. Did i miss a step?

[somber sequoia]

sounds like may be it's got un-applied transforms or isn't at 0,0,0

[mint mango]

Alright I'll check that out!

Bro I was having so much fun then all my confidence evaporated the minute I opened unity lol

[somber sequoia]

yeah I love when you spend a few hours working on a thing only to realize you missed something way back at the beginning and everything since then has been slightly off

[flint current]

hii i wanted to add a texture to my avi but its not like aligning properly, could someone help me fix it and is it because of uv mapping?
first image is default and 2nd is the one i wanna add

[wanton cedar]

yeah probably the uv map

[flint current]

so i would want to add the texture to the current uv map to fix it?

[somber sequoia]

that's not quite how UV mapping works

[wanton cedar]

i think you would need to fix the uv rather than the Texture itself

[desert elk]

or redo the texture to fit the current uv

[wanton cedar]

that too

Whichever is easier

[flint current]

fix how?
havent done any of this before so i have no idea ;w;

[somber sequoia]

it's not really clear what needs to be changed though

[wanton cedar]

it might help to show the texture in blender with the uv

like the one you're having issues with

[flint current]

like this?

[somber sequoia]

What is it that you want here?

[flint current]

i basically just dont want it to look weird
like you can see there are like lines where it splits

[wanton cedar]

Yeah yikes i can see why you have issues

[somber sequoia]

yeah that's normal, there's a seam there in the UV map

you want to really fix that, probably the answer is making a whole new texture like this one.

[flint current]

i see, i would like to learn it, do you have any good videos on how to?

[somber sequoia]

nope

[wanton cedar]

i dont think there are many

might just need to draw over the image and fix it that way

[flint current]

wdym btw?

like bad uv?

[wanton cedar]

the uv is fine

[somber sequoia]

there's nothing wrong with the UV map

[wanton cedar]

its your image

idk how to put this, but like what part of the image is touching the seams would need to be the same for the two seams. not sure if i put that right

like this one is light and this is dark, so when they wrap around to meet, the colors arent the same, so it wont match and it gives you the weird look

[flint current]

i see that makes sense yea

[flint current]

can i ask why there are two uv's that are identical?
like these two

instead of 1

[somber sequoia]

probably two sides of the model. If you turn on "UV Sync Selection" in the upper left, when you select a UV on the left, it'll also highlight the part of the model on the right

(assuming default layout)

[flint current]

ohh i can see why its weird now

[wanton cedar]

interesting

[flint current]

????

[wanton cedar]

the left arm side is probably under the selected part

Hit H rq and ss if you dont mind

[flint current]

h while having that part selected?

or all

oh i see now

yea you right

[wanton cedar]

[untold charm]

i believe my vcc is corrupted. anyone know how to fix? ive tried deleting the settings json but that didnt do anything

[wanton cedar]

Well what is it doing

[untold charm]

I fixed it, I just had to uninstall and reinstall 😭

[last belfry]

hi i need help with making avatar,my first time, so theres a problem in unity where it does not show anything at the top tab like the sdk button or anything like that

[desert elk]

did you make the project in VCC?

[last belfry]

yea i did

it opened unity

but did not show me thoese buttons

[desert elk]

can you screenshot so I know what you mean?

[desert elk]

are you using the correct unity version?

[last belfry]

im using 2022

[desert elk]

2022 what?

[last belfry]

2022.3.6f1

[desert elk]

that's wrong

[last belfry]

then which version?

[desert elk]

uninstall it and get 2022.3.22f1

[last belfry]

ok

this one?

[desert elk]

yup

[last belfry]

ok i have downloaded it, now do i do the same thing like i did before with vcc?

do i need to install vrcfury?

[wraith geyser]

hello, i'm using Liindy's Python Revolver package. I managed to replace the model with another gun (rigged) almost everything works but the mag. it doesnt open completely in game, any ideas? pretty please

[desert elk]

if you plan to use it

[last belfry]

what does vrcfury do? bc i also want to make effects in my avatar

[desert elk]

it's a tool that people who don't know how to manually make toggles and menus use
some say it simplifies the process, but that's for everyone to decide themselves

[last belfry]

ok

[bronze glen]

How do you guys deal with putting nails onto the base that already have nails bcs of the base itself. It alwasys turns out not good or parts of the old nails is visible. Any good tips?

[desert elk]

delete the old nails

bru

[light charm]

wtf

[desert elk]

bruh

[light charm]

what kind of name is that 💀

oh cool they're gone

[last belfry]

how do i add effects to avatar? where in game i press r and then expression and then the domain?

[ornate stump]

Expression is just menu and parameter parts. The effect itself could just be anything.

[last belfry]

how do i add the effects?

[desert elk]

what effects?

that can mean a ton of things

[last belfry]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k1muTtZIwU&t=111s this is the effect

[desert elk]

i think that's something that could be achieved with particles

[bronze glen]

Yeah but filling the hole with the new nails also just doesn't look good? Size to finger size to hand size. They alwasys seem to be too big when I try to fill the hole of the missing old nail mesh

[desert elk]

🤷

[fierce spear]

hey is the VCC broken for y'all too?

i cant upload my avi. its stuck at "Avatar Built."

[desert elk]

nope, if it's really big you may need to wait longer or check the console for errors

[fierce spear]

thats the error that shows up half the time

[timber wharf]

try mobile data, vpn or rebooting your router, sometimes aws that vrc uses to store files, temporarily blocks your ip

@fierce spear

[fierce spear]

hm, alright. guess ill change my vpn for a bit

thanks

[still shuttle]

Try finding nails specifically made for the base you are using. Or you could re-texture the og nails yourself

[bronze glen]

Well the issue mostly happens when pairing it with a male base and the creator scene is not that big on making feminine assets for male bases

[still shuttle]

Your best bet would prolly be just re-textureing them then
If you aren't very artsy you could commission someone to draw up nail textures for your base

[bronze glen]

I mean retextureing is a option but my issue is not being able to get the nail mesh sit well on the males base. If I retexture the males nails the size of the nail is still gonna be like how it initially was.

So quite a dilemma

[wanton cedar]

are you using sculpt mode??

[bronze glen]

Yeah

[wanton cedar]

maybe sending an image might help

[bronze glen]

I can dm it to you when I am working on it? Atm not at home

[wanton cedar]

I suppose

[bronze glen]

Some older pics

but same concept of issue

[wanton cedar]

i can see what you mean

[bronze glen]

Juppp

[wanton cedar]

🥀 yikes

[bronze glen]

Like I have the knowledge to work in blender and shi but this nail stuff is getting out of hands for me 💀

fem nails on fem bases no issue

fem nails on masc bases

big issue

[wanton cedar]

i wonder if they need to be angled up

id have to look at my male base with long nails when i get back from college

[bronze glen]

The worst part abt it is you can't touch the nails in sculpt bcs then the blendshapes do not work anymore

[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 for awhile.
Any help would be appreciated!

[wanton cedar]

then redo the blendshapes

[bronze glen]

Oh hell nah, I rather go w my old solution with opting out what blendshape I liked to most apply it to default and have it like that

redoing 15 different shapes and sizes of a nail asset you bought is a no go for me 💀

[wanton cedar]

fair enough

[languid wyvern]

Please help, what shall I do to fix?

[bronze glen]

Just wished creators were abit more open to the idea that fem stuff can be used on males

[wanton cedar]

can you ss what the bones look like in blender or drop down the armature in unity?

[wanton cedar]

wheres the chest..

its supposed to be hips spine chest neck head

[bronze glen]

Holy

[wanton cedar]

what are all these bones

[bronze glen]

Chat I think he is cooked

[wanton cedar]

oh totally

[languid wyvern]

Ah so it's a major problem?

[bronze glen]

I hope some friend did this for you and you didn't pay money for that 💀

[languid wyvern]

I didn't pay actually lol

[bronze glen]

Half of your bones are missing

thats the issue here

[languid wyvern]

Ah! Then I should go for the fix

[bronze glen]

thats alot of fixing

good luck

[languid wyvern]

Thank you!

[wanton cedar]

make sure to weight paint stuff correctly and dont leave phantomweight paints

[languid wyvern]

Aye!

Thanks

[fierce spear]

hey, how does everyone deal with doing shorts and panties and stuff? the inner area of the thigh is hell to work with.

[somber sequoia]

haha, it sure is

[bronze glen]

I go to edit mode and select one half and hide it to go back to sculpt mode so i can work on 1 side and then the other side

[fierce spear]

one half of the mesh?

[bronze glen]

Yeah

[fierce spear]

guess ill try that. thanks

[bronze glen]

Its a major help for that issue, there is prob a better and more efficient way to do it but thats my way ahah

[mint mango]

More like days since i had to rig from scratch ;-;

But i set all the transforms to 0, and it's still happening

Whenever i press play while i have the gesture manager, it teleports my character 280 meters away, but keeps its pivot point at the center, so when i rotate it, it flies in the air

I should mention gesture manager had a couple errors on startup, so i had to disable it, load it up, then reenable it, and that fixed the errors. but maybe it's still a little messed up

[somber sequoia]

any blendshapes active?

[lost umbra]

ok, I may have fix it. With new sets of brains thinking though the issues, I looked at the constraints on the targeting system itself.

I'll test it some more today. Also sorry Kazin for last night, I was bit frustrated after working on it for a month and the thing keeps growing new sets of issues on quest side of things. I appologize.

[somber sequoia]

ha, that's how it is sometimes, no worries

[frail temple]

Why are the feet slightly tilted?

[desert elk]

first thing. Move the avatar to be aligned with the ground in blender and apply transforms
second I believe that's normal with the default idle animation

[frail temple]

would resetting bone roll from -37 degrees to 0 fix it?

or is there another way to fix it

[desert elk]

i didn't notice the bone roll

it should be 0 everywhere

[somber sequoia]

fingers/toes you can have some roll to get them to move right, but otherwise yeah, humanoid bones ought to have the roll at 0 or very close to it

[frail temple]

Bone roll didn't fix it, do i need to edit the idle animation for it to be straight

[somber sequoia]

it's a good thing to check

[desert elk]

i see, good to know

[brave ice]

How can I make my Quadruped avatar rigged for vrchat with walking animations?

Any tutorial might help?

[somber sequoia]

there's a whole discord specifically for this, the tag is Limbs

[vernal pecan]

My new added hair is not affected by changing pull/spring/gravity, but physic is working in gesture manager and adding/removing colliders affects hair bones, but changing collision radius doesn't change anything.. what is the source of this problem? Other hairs is working fine.

[mint mango]

Im not exactly sure what that is, so no I dont think so. I just applied all my transformations in blender, then reimported it but im unfortunately still seeing the issue

[somber sequoia]

A shape key / blendshape can certainly move vertices around

[somber sequoia]

I can send you the link if you can't find it, but otherwise, I don't help in DM for free.

[brave ice]

am sorry, am not into discord much. please share me the link

[mint mango]

I didnt set anything like that up

Ill try to reinstall gesture manager

[somber sequoia]

I can't imagine gesture manager would do this on its own.

[mint mango]

It was comming up with a bunch of errors earlier so i dunno

[somber sequoia]

probably version incompatibilities

[mint mango]

The whole unity intall process was wonky. It wouldnt detect my hub so i had to install manually.

Ah. yeah its probably my bad. Whenever i change the pose my avatar is doing it telelports them to a different position. still not sure how to fix it, tho but ill try some stuff

[somber sequoia]

that really sounds like it's mis-positioned in Blender

[mint mango]

Figured it out. I just exported from cats plugin instead of from blender

[somber sequoia]

oh so your export settings were the problem. Probably "apply scalings" not set to "FBX All", that's the usual cause of a number of weird issues.

[desert elk]

yup

[mint mango]

Gotcha. Well thanks yall for your help

oh actually one more thing, have any of yall added videos to your avatars? i have a little 7 frame mp4 file I'm trying to play as a texture. There's a texture called "video realtime emissive gamma" which sounds like what i need, but i cant select the mp4 when selecting a texture for the material.

[somber sequoia]

you can't put videos on avatars unless it's a flipbook

for just 7 frames, that would be the way to do it

[mint mango]

gotcha. so like, upload every frame as a separate png and then the material will cycle through them? is there a built in material for that or would I have to program it?

[somber meadow]

Convert the video to a GIF with a site like ezgif and use poiyomi for it. This is exclusive to PC as Quest cannot use custom shaders

[mint mango]

yeah ill make a quest version after 🙂

alright ill try blanke's gif method first

[somber sequoia]

I've used a TextureArray and Poi's flipbook: https://www.poiyomi.com/special-fx/flipbook

not ideal if it's a lot of images

[somber meadow]

Dragging the gif into flipbook slot will convert it to an array

[somber sequoia]

oh that's cool, I didn't realize

[desert elk]

install android build support

[void kettle]

where is that at?

[limpid cargo]

“build settings”

[void kettle]

sry this never has happened to me

[limpid cargo]

it’s either in file or edit

at the top of the unity window

[void kettle]

this one?

do i have to reset everything to make it upload to android now?

[somber sequoia]

reset what?

[limpid cargo]

no

just install it

“install with unity hub”

after it’s installed, press the “switch platform” at the bottom

then just let unity do its thing

you shouldn’t have to reset or redo anything

[void kettle]

oh okay! tysm!!

[desert elk]

you may need to restart unity

i needed to at least

🤷

[limpid cargo]

save before though

[desert elk]

yes

always save

[limpid cargo]

oh i never had that problem…

but yes, restart unity

but save first!!!

[void kettle]

i do, when i upload to pc with the avatar if that makes sence

sorry bad grammer

[limpid cargo]

always save frequently :)

[void kettle]

do i have to do anything with this?

[vernal pecan]

PhysBone parameters doesnt work in realtime in Unity, i have to restart Gesture Manager every time i change anything to see results, why is this so??

[mystic marsh]

does anyone know why i cant upload an avatar with 2 separate versions for pc and quest in one avatar it keeps combining the pc and quest version so it just like cant have both in the same unity scene

[timber wharf]

@mystic marsh you choose one platform only, you upload, you choose another platform only, you upload again

with copying pipeline manager blueprint id from one to another

[somber sequoia]

bug in the current SDK that is supposedly fixed in next. You can use 3.7.x if you like

[vernal pecan]

ok thanks

[mint mango]

yay i got the animation going! does the poiyomi shader have an option to add some bloom? bc I dont think i see it here

[somber sequoia]

bloom is a post-processing thing in worlds, not something you can control on avatars

[mint mango]

gotcha!

[limpid cargo]

that means you need to wait until unity is finished doing what it’s doing before you can touch it

but after you’ve switched to android, you don’t need that window. don’t press build or anything; just exit the window and continue uploading for quest as normal

you can also switch back to the pc version and do the pc-quest at once upload you were trying to do before. that’s just if you want to specifically be on quest version

[royal bear]

quick question did vrchat make it so that toon lit isnt an option for shader????

[limpid cargo]

uh what? i don’t think it’s been removed…?

[desert elk]

i don't think so as well

[royal bear]

meaning not viable to use in vrchat itself

okay nvm

[desert elk]

i think it still is

[royal bear]

unity was being stupid as per usaual

[limpid cargo]

ah okay.

[royal bear]

its really a shame how we only have 10 mb

[undone badger]

I need help, does anyone have an idea where I can get dance emotes, I've looked on gumroad, jinxxy, booth and can't find no dances

It's to add onto my avi

[somber sequoia]

mixamo has some too

[prisma thunder]

How do I sync a world contraint/world drop with anyone that loads my avatar late?

[somber meadow]

That's something for VRChat themselves to implement (if you're using the freeze to world toggle)

I'm not sure if there's a workaround made though

[mint mango]

I have an issure rn with hair clipping into the scalp. Ive tried changing the head collision size and moving it around, but i cant seem to fix it. I could go back into blender and rework the armature, but do yall have any quick fixes you employ to stop this?

[somber meadow]

Angle Limits, they're a lot cheaper for performance than colliders

[azure pawn]

I’m struggling to do that for some reason. I’m trying to export the thing to an fbx since I can’t find the fbx itself, and it’s giving me the error “KeyNotFoundException”

[somber meadow]

Screenshot the blender export window before you export it

[floral fable]

Hayo hay hay hay lads. Anyone know how I can set an object to IsLocal while using vrcFury toggles? Setting up a reticle for a halo gun!

[somber meadow]

There should be a local only option in the vrcfury toggle

[azure pawn]

^

[mint mango]

i kept finding i could never get angle limits right. Either they clip into the head or they barely move at all

[somber meadow]

Did you assign that collider in the physbone component then?

[mint mango]

yep!

[azure pawn]

To send here?

[somber meadow]

Yes

[somber meadow]

What SDK version are you on? There's a recent version which bugs out changing physbones properties on play mode

[mint mango]

3.8.0

[somber meadow]

Don't use a FBX exporter on Unity, you already have the FBX file somewhere in your assets which properly works fine when imported into Blender

[azure pawn]

Do you know if there’s a way to search it? And would it still have the edits I’ve made in unity attached?

[somber meadow]

click the avatar's root object (where you avatar descriptor is), and click the Animator components "avatar" slot, your project tab will now highlight the fbx

[prisma thunder]

Is there any way to make a quest texture that renders an object on both sides?

[somber meadow]

Backface culling is forced on Quest shaders, the only way around it is to duplicate the faces and flip the normals inside of blender

[prisma thunder]

awww

[mint mango]

Just put an angle limit on the front hair peice. It made it a lot stiffer but it removed the clipping so im fine with it

[azure pawn]

I’m so sorry but could you elaborate on where the avatars root object is?

Like where’s the descriptor

[somber meadow]

The object of your avatar in the hierarchy where you placed the VRCAvatarDescriptor component, it's the first object of the avatar inside the hierarchy

[prisma thunder]

Supersampled UI, Skybox, additive, alpha blended, and multiply all work but have weird rendering things

[somber sequoia]

alpha blended is for worlds

oh that's the old one that for some reason is still there but isn't in the docs.

[mint mango]

Has anyone else had issues moving planes with physbones? both the tip of her hair and her ears are a single polygon. they can be moved in the rig, but physbones refuses to move them or show their collision box.

[azure pawn]

Ok I think I found where you mean, but where’s the “avatar” slot?

[somber sequoia]

you need two bones to make a physbone, or increase the "endpoint position" on the (usually) Y axis a bit, maybe 0.1

[azure pawn]

Wait actually for real got it but it’s empty

[radiant night]

If a physbone's game object has two children, how can I make 1 of them not be affected by the bone?

[somber meadow]

It being missing is troublesome

Click one of your meshes that's on the avatar normally and click the mesh field then

[somber sequoia]

the "ignore transforms" section

[radiant night]

What does the size value mean?

[somber sequoia]

size of the list

[radiant night]

Oh

Thanks

Is it possible without another component for each child to have different limits?

[somber sequoia]

you can use curves for most of the values there, and therein vary the value along the bone

[radiant night]

Im not sure I understand, Ill give what im working on as an example, I have an earring, I want the base to only be able to move up and down, while the children have full rotation

Is that possible or will I have to add another component to the children

[somber sequoia]

Yeah use curves with the limiters to limit how much that one bone works

probably a simple angle limiter is good here. I do this all the time. Like for tails - they move way less at the base.

[radiant night]

Changing the curves for the pitch roll and yaw dont seem to do anything

Sorry, Im still kinda new to unity

[surreal salmon]

im trying to find this on a rig but cant is there a setting for showing or hiding the layers in the data tab?

[radiant night]

I figured it out, I had to use the polar type

[somber sequoia]

yeah polar is really useful too

[somber sequoia]

this is bone collections, it's for toggling visibility really.
I also like how Blender 4+ has these in a list with names instead.

[oblique rapids]

having a bit of trouble with my avatar. I put all textures together with atlas on a single material to optmize my avatar, but now the textures look like this on the first image. second image is what they look like on blender. any idea of how to fix this?

[desert elk]

I think you should set the material to cutout first, it looks like it's not

other than that I think it's mostly shader settings tbh

[slate shuttle]

Hello, how do i upload my avatar as a fallback avatar.
the build is set to android and the preformance is excellent but i cant find the button that toggles it for uploads.

[somber sequoia]

did you already upload the windows one too?

[slate shuttle]

i have uploaded it to Windows, Android and IOS and am currently sitting on the android build

[oblique rapids]

that's what i was missing, thank you!

[desert elk]

restart unity first. If it doesn't help switch to windows and back to android in build settings instead of sdk

[slate shuttle]

restarting unity fixed it. the android build was not properly working

[mint mango]

Hey yall sorry i know i keep asking physbone questions but im SUPER new to unity. I got the ears to rotate around the head when moving her up and down, but how can i make them squish closer or further to the head when i move her side to side? I already tried the squash and stretch sliders on the ears and they didnt do anything

i also want to rig the eyes so that they kinda "slide" around the face as the head moves, instead of rotaiting around a pivot point, but one problem at a time

[timber wharf]

squish and stretch options are only for interaction with hands. you can probly kinda achieve this with more than one bone per ear tho.

[somber sequoia]

yeah one bone really limits how they move

[mint mango]

Will do. Is there no way to add a "panning" motion to the bones? If not, that might make what i want to do with the eyes bouncing around the face a little more difficult.

[timber wharf]

uh positional constraint thst allows only local X axis perhaps.

[raven summit]

a question for hair - i have a model i am currently making and i am unsure of how to attach the hair . my first thought is to connect the vertices of the hair directly to the head, but should i have the hair lifting off of the back on the actual model ? im relearning completely , so sorry if this is a silly question

or better yet , should i make the hair completely seperate and add it later in unity ?

[jagged canyon]

i got a question is there a way to turn off the feet in unity when the shoes are on then when they are off the feet are there

i know like a toggle would do that but how would i do that the reason i need to do this is to go back to blender and re do the shoes and stuff but i dont have stuff to redo it becuse i comssion someone to do it for me and tbh they didnt do is fully correctly so im trying to fix stuff and ect

[somber sequoia]

I'd keep it a separate object while modeling and such, but join to the body mesh right before I export to Unity.

[raven summit]

okay awesome thank you

[bitter snow]

Anyone know how to make a good world anchor for an item ? trying to look on youtube but everyvideo are like for 2021 xd
I tryied making an animation with the constrain world freeze but no clue how its works

[somber sequoia]

tick the checkbox on and it's frozen. I didn't think you need much more than that

[bitter snow]

dont need any reset animation ? just checkbox the frozen and uncheck on animation ?

[somber sequoia]

what would you reset?

[bitter snow]

well, last time i've done that was like 3-4 years ago, we had the reset the position of the item otherwise it was imposible to find xD guess i'm just trying to overthink about that ahah, i'll try to use the checkbox and nothing else :p thx !

[somber sequoia]

oh you can move the item wherever you want, it'll stay right where it is when you check it otherwise. So that I guess is optional

[bitter snow]

so much easier than before ahaha

[mint mango]

Ive seen avatars where parts of it glow when you talk. Is there a way to do that?

Also, can a turn blinking into a texture switch, and not a bone movement?

[somber sequoia]

use the animator parameter Voice to enable when speaking, or Viseme to do different things depending on what you're saying.

[peak shuttle]

hai hai. i have my outline extremely low and it still messes up like this. im using poiyomi, how could I fix it?

[somber sequoia]

Blinking as textures you'll have to just disable the eye look stuff in the avatar descriptor and animate that entirely yourself

[somber sequoia]

the poi discord might help if you can't get an answer here. I've personally never used outlines here.

[peak shuttle]

ic ty!

[mint mango]

gotcha

[mint mango]

Almost done yall i promise. Is there an easy way to change height in unity? or should i do that back in blender?

[long lava]

Hey, I have an issue where my avatar's arms are folded when i put my arms down, and it is always on the tip of the toes when standing... I know it must be an issue with my bones probably being too small, but before I try troubleshooting all that, I would like to know if there are any easy and quick ways to fix it???
i don't want to start trying to change some bones over and over again until i find the issue and make it work as intended

[somber sequoia]

show an x-ray view from the side in Blender, showing where the foot bones are in relation to the mesh

[long lava]

Sure, doing it now

I know you said from the side, but i throw in some extra ones just in case

[somber sequoia]

yeah I was more interested in looking at the foot angle and heel height

[long lava]

Is it because it's not a straight line?

[somber sequoia]

this looks quite nice really

[long lava]

oh okay

well, if it was because it's not an horizontal line, it would've been easy to fix 😔

[somber sequoia]

I'm not an expert at plantigrade feet at all but this looks correct to me.

[long lava]

well
that's the issue
it's not suppsed to be plantigrade lmao

i want the feet to touch the ground when i'm standing--

[somber sequoia]

no that's plantigrade - you plant. digitgrade is when you're on your digits

[long lava]

oh woops
confused them both

sorry about that

[somber sequoia]

(I corrected myself as well, I'm having 3 conversations here, one IRL)

[long lava]

I've looked online, the feets are apparently because of the toes...?
Like, i'm supposed to make it horizontal, like I thought
as for the arms
idk
i'm going to fix all that tomorrow anyway it's 4:30am 😭

[somber sequoia]

ohh

huh okay. good luck, report back, etc 🙂

[long lava]

darn it only does that in VR, on desktop it looks fine

[jagged canyon]

There's is bug on my avatar where toggles are turn off on PC but on quest the are on -

[somber sequoia]

use the same avatar parameters file for both versions. VRCFury or Modular Avatar might mess with that.

[lofty gate]

Colored the model in substance painter and the eyes specifically are doing this - as you can probably imagine, It's supposed to be both eyes, but not the entire thing being that red. The eye is not it's own thing I can click on to edit, can anyone give me an idea of what's going wrong here?

[left gull]

there might be a lense mesh above the eyes? alot of paid furry models have a semi-transparent material they put over the eye mesh to make it look glossy

[jagged canyon]

Talking to me?

[somber sequoia]

yes

[cosmic ginkgo]

im having this same problem, did you find a fix?? 😭

[somber sequoia]

It's a bug in SDK 3.8.0, go back to 3.7.x or wait for the fix to be released

[wraith geyser]

hello, im using Liindy's Colt Python package,
i was wandering
if i toggle on "allow others" on all contacts
could other people actually use the gun?

[somber sequoia]

Probably it isn't setup for that, because that's kinda hard.

[vestal mist]

I could do that orrrrrrrrrrr... I could just wait until someone replies to me here

[desert elk]

nobody will. this isn't what this channel is for.

post it there instead

[vestal mist]

Sentry is worthy of being here ngl. He's worthy of being anywhere tbh...

[desert elk]

No.

[timber wharf]

i mean, make one and then youre welcome to ask away here

[desert elk]

exactly

[vestal mist]

Or I could ask here then ask there... that simple.

[desert elk]

Is it that hard to follow rules? 🤔

[vestal mist]

Rules? Idk what you talking about bud.

[timber wharf]

@vestal mist sure but then you look silly

[vestal mist]

Umm that's what you think. Doesn't mean it's true.

[desert elk]

I thought it's common sense to use channels made for certain things to do those certain things 🤷

[vestal mist]

Common Sense? That left me a long time ago. Lol

To be fair if I want to post that here I can.
would all yall kiddos stop mini modding please?

[desert elk]

we're trying to guide you to the correct space to post that message :)

and don't call me a kiddo

you're literally younger than me

[vestal mist]

I can call you what I want, and I'm probably older based on the profile pictures.

Idc about guiding to the correct space if I'm in a space that's also correct.

[desert elk]

xDDD lol

my friend drew it for me silly guy

I'm tired of this now

have fun having no one answer you

[vestal mist]

Ok thank you very much!😊

In fact.

[desert elk]

bruh

[vestal mist]

Vrchat be wildin

[left gull]

likely no but liindy has their own server for questions about their asset stuff

[tawdry kayak]

hey can anyone who is unity smart help me build this model? I can vc n screenshare

[fierce spear]

Hey y'all, how do i stop my breasts from clipping through the bra when im moving?

[rapid forum]

bro im done, how much does it cost to have someone convert a blender model for vrchat?

The models done its just Im missing a few bones I wont do it

I cant

Ive tried twice to add these bones and something always wrong

[desert elk]

describe your problem and send screenshots here please. You'll get scammers in dms

[desert elk]

probably physbone limits?

[desert elk]

join CRC Traders (link in #1204490664637890580 ) and ask there. You'll get scammers here. Be careful

[rapid forum]

Thank yurrr

[tawdry kayak]

nvm i figurd it out but now i just apparently need to get trust rank up

[desert elk]

ye

new user or higher to upload avatars

[tawdry kayak]

what if I pay money xd

[desert elk]

You can purchase vrc+ to automatically go one rank higher

so yes, you can pay money

[tawdry kayak]

whaaaaaat shut upppp

thx

🙂

[wanton cedar]

whats wrong with the bones

[unique acorn]

So, I am trying to figure out what is causing this issue to happen between Blender(Left) and Unity(Right) I assume it is a weight painting issue somewhere because it does seem to affect it some but there is always just edges in Unity compared to Blender. And I can't seem to replicate this in Blender at all. Anybody see this before?

[limpid cargo]

if there’s enough room to get away with it, you can make them smaller with shapekeys underneath the bra
but if the bra is too revealing you may not be able to get away with it

[fierce spear]

cant get away with that sadly

[limpid cargo]

awhhh

so i can say like the other person said, to try physbone limits

[fierce spear]

hmm, can i change physbone limits with a toggle i wonder? i could clamp down on the physbone limits when the bra is on, and bring them back up when its off

[limpid cargo]

oh i have no idea… that’s a really smart method, but i’m not experienced enough to know how to do that, i hope someone else can answer you well 🙇🏻‍♀️💦

[muted wyvern]

Hey , I need a little help -

An avatar I uploaded has their private parts exposed in the "avatar details" screen in game.
Is there a way I can hide it in Unity and then re-upload it so that isn't showing ?

[desert elk]

I believe the preview is the same as the way your avatar looks when you upload it

[fierce spear]

Try changing the default parameters so that the private parts arent exposed when the avatar is first loaded

[muted wyvern]

How would I go about doing that ? I'm a bit of a Unity noob lol.

[muted wyvern]

Yeah, it's showing in the preview scene in Unity. I am unsure how to hide it without completely disabling it.

[fierce spear]

question: when you hit the "reset avatar" button in game, is your avatar naked?

[desert elk]

redo the toggles, so that the unity scene can have a good avatar.

[desert elk]

I believe that doesn't matter. The way the avatar looks in the unity scene matters

[muted wyvern]

So if I "Toggle Active State" will that disable the asset completely ?

[limpid cargo]

yes

it goes from the state of active to not active

[muted wyvern]

I see. So how would I just hide it from that scene instead ?

I'm not sure what toggle I should be redoing.

I think I fixed it? Hiding it from the hierarchy and re-uploading it seemed to fix it ?

Either that or I botched something and had a happy little accident ^^;

[fierce spear]

huh. i've never had that issue. weird.

i coulda sworn it was the default params

oh well

[desert elk]

nah, it's hiding

[limpid cargo]

sorry this is off topic but i love your profile

[rapid forum]

Im "missing" (term used lightly) chest spine and some useless 3rd thing that my character doesnt even use and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to put it there

[desert elk]

not all bones need to be weight painted, just fyi

is it the Roblox one? if I remember correctly

[rapid forum]

Yurrr

Also they were weight painted

then it turned around and said

"well its not parented ti chest sooo its wrong still"

Im stick Im SICK

[desert elk]

if you don't wanna do it yourself, you should ask in VRC Traders

[rapid forum]

If there was one program I would strangle with my bare hands it would be blender then unity then vrchat

Idk why vrchat using 2022 unity ANYWAY just apply the animations and HUSH

Im losing it bro Im losing it

[desert elk]

that's just how it works

[rapid forum]

Its not

Its literally

not

This program just being difficult

cuz it can be

[desert elk]

of course it can

im nor denying that

[timber wharf]

you need all mandatory unity humanoid bones and on top of that you need neck and shoulders per vrchat requirements. if you dont use some in weightpainting, they can be tiny but bone hierarchy should be present and correct.

[wanton cedar]

would you mind screenshotting the issue?

[rapid forum]

I just said that but yes ty

[wanton cedar]

im curious what it looks like

[rapid forum]

Imma be real with you I turned off my computer out of anger 😅

long ago actually

[wanton cedar]

oh, mood

once you turn it back on you should send it to me

[rapid forum]

bet bet

Im making ramen rn Ill show in a second

[gentle goblet]

Hai um, so I bought an asset and it needs me to add the menu that came with it as a sub menu or for me to copy the individual controls but I don't know how to do that, like I have made all my toggles with VRCFury and idk where my own menu even is >~> Like when I use it in game I have one but idk how to find it on my avi in unity

[rapid forum]

I aint seen that face in a lot time

11/10

[somber sequoia]

the main menu is linked in the avatar descriptor, under "expressions"

[gentle goblet]

Mine doesn't have one >~> I think VRCFury made like a temp one or did some weird magic

[somber sequoia]

that's a surprise

but yeah, I guess if not you can make one

[gentle goblet]

Ah yeah I just found VRCFury's menu they automade..it's weird that it works even without it being selected as the avatar's main menu

[somber sequoia]

fury does things at build time, including applying changes to the menu

[mental estuary]

Use a Full Controller and put the animator/menu/parameters into that so it gets merged as well. VRCFury will handle the merging same as it generates the menus from your existing toggles

[gentle goblet]

~> What do you mean by add a full controller, like how would I do that?

[mental estuary]

Anywhere on your avatar -> Add component -> Full Controller

[gentle goblet]

So just make an empty thing then add it on that?

[mental estuary]

Doesn't really matter where. Organise it however you want

As long as the full controller is on your avatar, and it contains the animator/menu/parameters for that asset, it will merge and work

Since the asset wasn't made directly to be used with VRCFury you might see some path errors, but that's fine as VRCFury will know it animates from the root rather than the full controller

[gentle goblet]

How would I clean up and customise my menu then, because whenever I try to say move a gun asset that was added with vrcfury and put it in say a weapons folder when I try to test if it's working it's as if vrcfury just over rights it and it goes back to normal

[mental estuary]

Move menu item component

Moves a toggle/slider/submenu from the path it's currently at to the path you want it to be at

You can ask more about all this in VRCFury's Discord server or check their website for the docs

[gentle goblet]

True, thank you for your help though I appreciate it!

[plucky drum]

so im having some issues making my avatar, importing the model and rig from blender seems to be breaking the fingers

[long lava]

Hey, if you wanted to know what was the issue, I just badly configured my VRChat and Oculus Space settings 😭
My height wasn't correct in VRChat, which led to the arms problems, and my ground was slightly above the irl ground in the Oculus Quest space, so i was floating
Nothing was wrong with my avatar :3 👍

[somber sequoia]

ha!

I've had so much trouble with the Quest floor that it's part of a strict process I do to setup now, every time I set the floor level.

[long lava]

I didn't redo it in ~2 months and I always made and wore avatars without legs-- so i never noticed it was an issue

[long lava]

I'm not a professional so idk, wild guess... Have you applied all transformations?

[plucky drum]

on the rig or the model

[long lava]

Both

I always make sure to apply transformations because in my experience it just breaks when exporting

[plucky drum]

i think? ill apply again and check

[long lava]

If it's not that, i'm sorry I don't really know what could cause that

[plucky drum]

oooooh okay the fingers were the 1p art i didnt apply

[long lava]

Neat!

[plucky drum]

time to click set inverse on 30 finger parts 💀

it does mean my fingers are no longer aligned

all fixed lol

[bitter ginkgo]

where can i find free clothing assets

[night ember]

Same place you find anything

Gumroad, booth, etc

[bitter ginkgo]

ok ty

[prisma thunder]

I currently have the default hand gestures from vrchat (Rock n Roll, Victory, etc), but I like the steam VR gestures better.
When I toggle "Radial Menu > Options > Avatar > Gestures" off, my hands tend to act better (restpad is accounted for, joystick movement as well, my hands adjust due to a lot of factors) and it generally looks nicer.

My issue is, turning off gestures makes my facial expressions no longer work. How would I make these gestures the default for my avatar, so that I can use them without disabling my facial expressions?

[somber sequoia]

I think you'd have to swap animations in your gesture layer, but I don't know where to get those other ones

[prisma thunder]

That's what I'm looking for lol

[plucky drum]

okay so now its stuck in a permanent T-pose

[night ember]

Needs to be rigged as humanoid

[plucky drum]

thought i did

lemme check again

[plucky drum]

this stuff?

ok now im seeing this

how do i import it as a humanoid?

[somber sequoia]

click "configure", verify the right bones are in the right places, then save.

[ornate stump]

It should be telling you to "See import messages".

[plucky drum]

yeah

[plucky drum]

did that

only issue it brought up in the configure menu was that the model wasnt T-Posed but ive uploaded models that werent tposed before

[somber sequoia]

and everything is correct? Maybe show the main screen with the spine bones listed

[somber sequoia]

you are missing shoulders

[plucky drum]

the torso doesnt flex or bend so i didnt bother modelling that in

[somber sequoia]

doesn't matter, VRChat requires those bones.

[plucky drum]

oki doki

i assume my right arm needs to be connected to said shoulder?

[somber sequoia]

yup. chest (or upper chest) -> shoulder -> upper arm

[plucky drum]

right

okay

shoulders added

is it possible to check if the rig works before importing to Vrchat?

[somber sequoia]

works how?

[plucky drum]

as in like, if it works. cause rn its just Tposed and nothing moves when i import it

[plucky drum]

like this

[somber sequoia]

You can rotate the bones around in pose mode in Blender to verify it moves right

not sure what else you'd need though

[plucky drum]

i know the rig moves fine im saying it doesnt move in Vrchat

thats the issue im having is when i load the avatar ingame it doesnt move

[somber sequoia]

right, because it wasn't considered humanoid

if it isn't, then none of the basic locomotion stuff is provided, you would have to build all of that from scratch

[plucky drum]

the only difference from how i did it before is adding the shoulders

it was still a humanoid the last time i imported it

[somber sequoia]

it wasn't if you got that message saying it wasn't.

[somber sequoia]

and that's why now

[plucky drum]

i have no idea what that means

[somber sequoia]

you cannot have a mesh object the same name as a humanoid bone

[plucky drum]

alright

i changed it

so that error should go away? or do i need to re import it entirely

[somber sequoia]

you cannot change that in Unity

[plucky drum]

instead of just changing the name in unity

alright

does the armature need to have those parts renamed too?

[somber sequoia]

the names don't matter so long as they are unique.

[plucky drum]

i changed it from pelvis to pubis and its still giving it an error

or is it just listing the heirarchy for the thigh which includes that bone

[somber sequoia]

to sum up: names of bones must be unique, and they cannot be the named the same as any mesh object

really no idea what you're doing here to cause that ^

[compact dust]

can someone help me with this issue? i have a avatar with everything already set up but my unity has this issue

[plucky drum]

im just gonna make the entire armature named in a different language

cause thinking of a different name for each bone that still remains relevant is hard

[somber sequoia]

it is?

I mean, your body has unique bone names, why not just use those?

[plucky drum]

im dumb as hell dude yeah

[plucky drum]

i dont know em off the top of my head

[somber sequoia]

those stop signs are hard limits

[somber sequoia]

luckily we have the internet 🙂

[plucky drum]

and its easier to just use a second language i do know than to google bone names

[somber sequoia]

whatever, doesn't matter so long as you know what they are

[compact dust]

????

no i have a issue with my prepare your content

[somber sequoia]

I don't understand what you are asking?

[compact dust]

my prepare my content is shaded and i cant access it, it works on all my other unity projects but this one. idk how to fix it

[somber sequoia]

Because as I said, those errors with red stop signs must be fixed before you can continue.

[compact dust]

those never stopped it before i just uploaded one with more particle systems then that?

[rain cave]

i had it already that somethimes the new SDK doesnt update and therefor hides an error maybe downgrade an SDK version or restart your unity

[compact dust]

i found it....it was a package that broke completely

[plucky drum]

avatar is still stuck in T-Pose even after receiving 0 errors, except now the stomach and neck move?

[rapid forum]

Lowkey I forgot you asked me this

[somber sequoia]

You have to fix those issues - shoulders are required, and your spine layout is all wrong

it could be it just didn't detect the spine right, and you have to manually drag those bones into the right slots.

(it usually doesn't auto-detect bones if they have no mesh weighted to them)

[limpid cargo]

they should also mention jinxxy

[mint mango]

vr chat says they only reccomend 4 physbones, but does anyone actually only use 4? thats seems like it's only enough for one tail or a couple strands of hair.

[limpid cargo]

the “recommend” what’s the most optimised.
you can go above that though

[mint mango]

I know but will it be really unoptimized?

[limpid cargo]

if you use an insane amount, yes

i recommend looking at the performance rank documentation for guidance

https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/avatar-performance-ranking-system/

if you exceed a certain amount, they all get removed anyways for everyone else’s device’s sake

[mint mango]

Gotcha! thanks!

[limpid cargo]

of course! 💗

[fluid jay]

currently i cant upload my avatar to quest since it says disabled, any ideas?

[desert elk]

download android build support

from build settings

[gentle iris]

im trying to have a prop be placed down with a animation but this comes up

[fluid jay]

sorry to ask, where would i find these?

[desert elk]

either file or edit, I don't remember. The top unity bar

[gentle iris]

Anyone able to help?

[somber sequoia]

the Gesture animator needs a mask on the first layer, as it says.
https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/playable-layers/#gesture

[nova briar]

im having an issue that i havent seen before, for some reason when i grab the end a specific physbone it grabs the root bone, even tho its not even close

[somber sequoia]

generally most of those layers should have masks... kinda wondering what you did to change that, did you make your own animator?

[somber sequoia]

"snap to hand" on?

I forget where that actually snaps

[gentle iris]

i have 0 idea how to do that

[somber sequoia]

What did you do to the gesture animator to cause this then?

[nova briar]

no, snap to hand is off

[gentle iris]

all i added was 2 swords and a model that can be placed down

[somber sequoia]

are those VRC Fury components maybe?

[gentle iris]

yes

although the emotes i did with VRC Fury worked and let me upload

[somber sequoia]

ok, do you have a gesture animator? See under "playable layers" in the avatar descriptor

[gentle iris]

i got gogoloco

[somber sequoia]

is that a yes or no?

[gentle iris]

ummmmmm

this what im looking for?

[uneven whale]

How to upload an avatar edited in blender to Vrchat? I don't understand how to set it up correctly in Unity. Any tutorials or tips please

[somber sequoia]

Yes - so that "Sword" animator is the problem, I don't know what instructions you are following, but probably that just has the sword stuff and is intended to be merged into your existing controller (or the default). Remove that and the avatar will work, but without whatever the sword stuff does.

[gentle iris]

ok

[somber sequoia]

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

[gentle iris]

issue is fixed, thank you

[uneven whale]

Sorry, this tutorial is about how to upload your own avatar, but I mean a ready-made, someone else's avatar, which I edited in Blender, and want to upload back to Unity, and then to Vrchat

[somber sequoia]

If you have a .fbx then this is literally the same

maybe you can explain where you're stuck?

[uneven whale]

I use a translator, but I hope it will be clear. I take the fbx file of the finished vrchat model, edit it in blender, and then load the fbx file back into Unity, then I simply do not understand what to do

[frozen hollow]

could anyone tell me if its possible to import a unity file to blender some how?
I got permission from and avatar creater to make some changes but this is my first time doing this and I'm kind of lost

[somber sequoia]

Yes, you follow a tutorial like this

[timber wharf]

@uneven whale if you made small edits to fbx, you can just overwrite existing file in assets folder (make project backup first, you may skrew it up). Then you just upload as before.

[somber sequoia]

Unless you mean you updated the .fbx and want those changes to apply? In that case you simply overwrite the .fbx file in the project. Having export it with the same settings as before of course.

[timber wharf]

@frozen hollow blender - import - fbx

[azure pawn]

I have an fbx file that’s supposedly the same thing as the avatar I have set up in unity, and I’m trying to swap out the body. It doesn’t seem to be working, so could someone walk me through it?

[somber sequoia]

what did you do and what isn't working?

[azure pawn]

I needed to add a blend shape, so I did that, exported as an fbx, and now want to just swap out either just the old mesh or the old body for the new one

[frozen hollow]

what if I don't have/can't find a fbx file just a unity package file?

[somber sequoia]

actually exported it from Unity somehow? Didn't just load the existing .fbx into blender?

[timber wharf]

@azure pawn

@frozen hollow then youre not looking in Assets folder of avatar project

unitypackage is just a fancy .rar, it/its content not used in project itself without extracting

[azure pawn]

How do I overwrite it?

[somber sequoia]

(.zip or .tgz, but who's counting)

[somber sequoia]

save the new file right over the old

[azure pawn]

Like from blender?

[somber sequoia]

exactly

[azure pawn]

Ok

And if it turns out horribly awful where would I find my backup?

[somber sequoia]

wherever you put it when you made it

(you did make one, right?)

[timber wharf]

wherever vcc says they are in settings

[azure pawn]

(Yes dw)

I can’t see the file, could it be hidden?

[frozen hollow]

sorry if this is dumb to ask but how would I extract it do I download winrar then ill be able too? (recently wiped my computer and haven't had a need to reinstall it yet)

[somber sequoia]

Don't unpack a .unitypackage - you load that into Unity, in the menu: Assets -> Import Package -> Custom Package and select the file

[frozen hollow]

found it thank you for the help

[somber sequoia]

(you can unpack them, but I've not seen one be a .rar yet - though if you do the filenames will be all wonky, it's really not helpful)

[plucky drum]

i got most of my avatar working now but im having some questions regarding physbones

i have a little ribbon bit thats rigged and everything but im not sure how to actually use the physbones component to make itdangle around

[azure pawn]

So it went horribly wrong…

How do I restore the backup?

[plucky drum]

i see the actual bones moving but the model itself isnt

nvm, fixed it

dont even know how it jus, works

[floral fable]

Yall, anyone know how to fix my avatar? He's shaded super dark no matter the lighting, idk what's wrong at all. Tried messing with the loghting in Unity but it didn't seem to help.

[gentle iris]

i got a model i want to stay in place when enabled but it moves when i move in game

im using VRC fury if that makes it easier

[heady raptor]

its been almost 2y, refiguring out puppet menus, i got the animations, i got the parameters on animator and on menus, i got the blend H and V, got the freeform arranged, got the bool arranged, checked with my working avi, works, but this one im trying rn isnt, am i missing something

[gentle iris]

ive been looking online for how to make a prop stay in place with VRC Fury but nothing

[left gull]

have you tried asking in the VRCFury discord? alot of people here just make their toggles and stuff manually

[gentle iris]

i didnt know they had one

[mental estuary]

1: https://vrcfury.com/
2: Toggles have a world drop action that will freeze an item to the world

[gentle iris]

is the world drop action in VRC Fury Toggle?

[mental estuary]

Yes

[gentle iris]

i got that would i press options now?

[barren wharf]

how do i make a placeable object on my avatar

i want to make a mini train i can place down

[mental estuary]

Why would you press options? Just add the world drop action and give it a menu path

When you enable that toggle it will drop whatever it's on

[gentle iris]

i got the stuff in but when i toggle it it moves when i move

[desert elk]

i believe also with a world drop

same thing as they're discussing now

[barren wharf]

ty

[gentle iris]

with the model im trying to get working i want it to stay in place

[mental estuary]

Yes, put the model in the world drop action

[gentle iris]

i done that

[mental estuary]

Then it will work. If the object is a skinned mesh you'll need to set it to drop the armature

[gentle iris]

skinned mesh?

[mental estuary]

Does it have bones

[gentle iris]

no

[mental estuary]

Then set the world drop's target to be the object and it will work like any other toggle

[gentle iris]

but it wont stay in place when i done that before

[mental estuary]

How were you testing

[gentle iris]

in game

[mental estuary]

And you're sure you set it to the right object? Because if you're using armature link to link it to your hand it needs to link the object that world drop is targetting

[gentle iris]

im sure, like i want it to stay in place so i can move around but the model stays where it is

[mental estuary]

Model as in object or model as in your avatar?

[gentle iris]

object

[mental estuary]

Then you must've set it up wrong

Screenshot your world drop and armature link

And your object in the hierarchy for good measure

[gentle iris]

its the ride in the back i want it to stay in place so me and my mate can run around but not have it follow

[mental estuary]

... Okay for starters, just make a world

Secondly it has an animator which it shouldn't have

And thirdly you haven't screenshot the world drop action

[gentle iris]

im not sure what the world drop action is exactly

and i want it to be a toggle for the avatar

[mental estuary]

You add it to a toggle

Yes, add a VRCFury toggle and add the world drop action, then set its target to be the object

If you want it to drop when the coaster is toggled on, add the world drop action to the main toggle

[gentle iris]

do i find the world drop action in the add conponments?

[mental estuary]

No

Add it as an action to a toggle

Object toggle is an action, animation is an action, you have those already. Add an additional action that's a world drop

[gentle iris]

ok i done that

do i put the model in that one

[mental estuary]

Click edit, click the +, then world drop

In the world drop, put the model

[gentle iris]

ok done that

[mental estuary]

Screenshot your toggle now

[gentle iris]

wrong image

there we go

[mental estuary]

That should work fine. It will enable, and will drop, and play the animation

[gentle iris]

ok

[heady raptor]

still looking for help

[chilly summit]

Need help with 2 things. One. I added physbone to avi hair, but it's not moving, and second, when I open both of my hands, or one hand and make another gesture it makes this face, but I don't know how to fix it

[gentle iris]

i want to add seats to the rollercoaster, would i use the rollercoasters animation?

[thick dirge]

I am trying to put all Vulper avatar things into an Expressions menu but it ends up looking like this. Help?

[desert elk]

what's wrong with it?

[thick dirge]

Currantly I added the menus to the Submenu called Vulper however they showed up without icons in the Radial menu

[desert elk]

did you add the icons?

[thick dirge]

And the submenues in the Vulper submenu I made doesnt work

[desert elk]

are you making the menus manually or through vrcfury?

[thick dirge]

VRCFury

[desert elk]

oh I can't help with that

you'll need to wait for someone else to answer

[thick dirge]

Thanks anyhow ^^

[heady raptor]

ive been exhausting all options still looking for what am i missing to look at

come on what am i missing

[magic yarrow]

Trying to export textures for an asset but Substance Painter won't do it. What's the deal?

[safe mesa]

Visemes on one of my avatars won't work for some reason

[desert elk]

do you have all of the slots filled?

[safe mesa]

lemme check

[magic yarrow]

im not synching my stuff anywhere. The assets were originally made in a different version of SP

[desert elk]

im assuming you're using blendshapes

[safe mesa]

yeah I'm using blend shapes

[heady raptor]

odd that happens when its some sort broken pixels but idk either how to explain or how to fix, my memory isnt working

[desert elk]

yeah so check if all of the slots are filled. They need to be

[magic yarrow]

i guess i can't export these textures then because google isn't being helpful either

[heady raptor]

tried chat gpt? sooooooooometimes it might hint to the fix

doesnt hurt to try

[safe mesa]

Does this count

[magic yarrow]

nope, not going anywhere near that shit

[night ember]

no

[heady raptor]

i dont like ai either and speaking as an artist but for simple matters like that that are only spoken helps a bit

[night ember]

all of them need to be using a blendshape

[somber sequoia]

there's a whole discord for that, FYI

[safe mesa]

ah

[somber sequoia]

are you sure the path you're exporting to exists?

[magic yarrow]

i think so, i'll triple-check

lmao that was the problem

im a dumbass lmfao

thanks @somber sequoia lol

[heady raptor]

omg

glad that was just that

[somber sequoia]

haha nice - been there more times than I can count

[desert elk]

"none" can't be none, needs to be something

[safe mesa]

Fixed that

[thick dirge]

I know

[heady raptor]

another hour in and still no clue why is it not working please someone respond

bruh im stressing over it why is it not working must more blood be shed

[timber wharf]

@heady raptor is animated on physbone checked?

[magic yarrow]

does anyone know how the hell to use the CATS plugin on Blender????? I'm stuck in a maddening loop of confusion and dead ends

I have Blender 4.3.2, official CATS plugin only works on Blender 2.93, I download 2.93, it won't import the asset I need, I get the unofficial CATS plugin that is supposed to work on 4.0+ versions of Blender, still won't work

I've tried the removal of TESTING from the notepad 3 times and it will not work

all the tutorials on YouTube for reshaping clothing use this tool and I'm getting very frustrated because I really don't want to spend endless hours doing everything manually

[timber wharf]

@magic yarrow bro just "cats plugin unofficial"

https://github.com/teamneoneko/Cats-Blender-Plugin-Unofficial-/releases

https://github.com/feilen/tuxedo-blender-plugin

og one is dead for 4 years

[magic yarrow]

rip

thanks, i'll try the one for my Blender version

[timber wharf]

unofficial does not have some stuff tho, most of which was useless to support. and does have other. so experience may vary.

[somber sequoia]

latest at https://catsblenderplugin.xyz/

[magic yarrow]

well i am brand-spanking new to literally anything and everything with avatar making so i will take all the help i can get

aight, this seems to be working, im not getting a barrage of error messages evey time i try to click on something

thanks!

[bitter snow]

Do you know anu good video for learning how to freeze objet on your avatar ? i mean, freeze it to the world.. I've tryed yesterday but could not figure out

[timber wharf]

probly most guides there are outdated. now you just add vrc parent constraint and animate freeze to world via toggle. if you need a video, make sure its like 6mo old or less

[bitter snow]

Its what i think i've done, made an animation to check and uncheck it but doenst seem to work, do i ahve to add a source ? or source its more when i want to stick in into a specific bone ?

[timber wharf]

maybe 7

@bitter snow well, its already a child of some stuff, so no need for source. rebake offsets shouldnt be enabled most cases as well

[bitter snow]

ohh figure out what my problem was, the vrc parent constraint need to be outside the file in the scene, mine was inside the item xD now its working

[timber wharf]

yes, source is when you need it to be here or there disregarding an actual hierarchy

[bitter snow]

and what about the reset ? when i uncheck the box, the object lock at the last place it was, so i guess i'll have to reset the position to the original one ?

[timber wharf]

oof good question. perhaps you still do need one source

[limpid cargo]

this might be a stupid question, but the heel shoe moves much faster than the leg...
when rotate, it flies out of place quickly. i checked the apply transforms and origin point, but i am still confused, never having this issue before. what is a solution please? 🙇🏻‍♀️ apologies in advance

[somber sequoia]

Probably those meshes have different weight paint values

[limpid cargo]

this is how it is for the "Foot" bone. is this incorrectly?

[somber sequoia]

literally no way for me to tell from a picture

[limpid cargo]

i'm sorry 🙇🏻‍♀️

[somber sequoia]

I can't tell red from slightly less red

[limpid cargo]

i'll try to fix it, thank you for your help

[somber sequoia]

what I'd probably do for those is just use Robust Weight Transfer from the body to the shoes, then touch it up if needed.

[limpid cargo]

that is how i did it

[somber sequoia]

oh, then do part 2 of that 🙂

[limpid cargo]

i'll try it, thank you 🙇🏻‍♀️💦

[sharp quartz]

Any idea as to why my avtars eye lashes seem to be showing up black in unity? I just converted her to quest and all of her shaders seem fine but this one. Is there any way I can go about fixing this?

[somber sequoia]

probably because they used alpha transparency which you can't do on quest

[limpid cargo]

it is using "Transparency", that is unallowed in quest

if partcle shader is not well, please fix it manually

[sharp quartz]

Ty! ❤️

[spark walrus]

soooooooooooo, Anyone else having issues with unity? it seems to keep saying clearing blueprint ALL DAY!

[timber wharf]

noone does
clearing blueprint is just a random shit modern sdk does every time smth went wrong, its useless bit of info

[desert elk]

that can be a side effect of a different error

[spark walrus]

its been going on all fawking day now, and i can't seem to fix it

[timber wharf]

can you post like a proper log

[spark walrus]

yeah, hold on

[timber wharf]

with red errors only

[spark walrus]

yeah wait, relaunching unity

[limpid cargo]

i have figured the problem, there is 2 armature modifiers applied... remove it and fixed now

[somber sequoia]

Always post the first 2-3 errors, the ones at the top. 99% of the time that blueprint ID issue is a side-effect of something else.

[spark walrus]

Like these errors?

[spark walrus]

Also, i'm a bit of a noobie for Unity so i am not sure on how to do that.

[limpid cargo]

no, in the "Console"

top error in "Console" tab

[spark walrus]

This is the very top of the console

[desert elk]

try to upload again

[spark walrus]

just did and it failed

[desert elk]

and see if anything shows up

[somber meadow]

Screenshot the whole console tab

[desert elk]

and that's the only thing in the console?

[somber meadow]

you most likely have errors hidden

[somber sequoia]

no, the ones in the console.

[limpid cargo]

please send all of top console.

[spark walrus]

top errors

[somber sequoia]

There's a little indicator that shows how many errors you have, it's a red exclamation point. If that is not 1....

[somber meadow]

scroll to the very bottom

[somber meadow]

yeah there's 2 more

[somber sequoia]

3. So why are you only showing one?

[spark walrus]

This is the bottom

[somber meadow]

oh

[somber sequoia]

mm timeouts

[spark walrus]

I'm so lost, i suck at all this unity bs lol

[somber meadow]

https://wiki.vrchat.com/wiki/Guides:Connection_issues#Unstable_connection

tl;dr install and use cloudflare warp

[timber wharf]

@spark walrus

[spark walrus]

i disabled my IPV6 awhile ago

[spark walrus]

I do have warp

[somber meadow]

is it enabled in the taskbar tray

[timber wharf]

@spark walrus well then do disable/enable it depending on where its now

[spark walrus]

i don't think, it might've re-enabled since i switched to a new pc recently

[timber wharf]

most cases, using vpn would lead to more cases of being ip blocked, so enabling one is a random low chance of fixing it, disabling more likely to help

[spark walrus]

hold on

i'm so lost on how to disable my IPV6

i had it disabled last time, but forgot
