[somber sequoia]

Remove the world SDK from your avatar project

[tall orchid]

how do I fix??

[somber sequoia]

first message, "missing scrpt" - you have to install whatever dependency is required. Check the avatar creator's documentation

[tall orchid]

so its something in unity?

not the actual avatar?

[somber sequoia]

You have to add something to Unity, yes.

[tall orchid]

ok thank you this is my first time so no idea what im doing

[somber sequoia]

The creator may have provided documentation, or even just a list of requirements on the webpage with the avatar.

[tall orchid]

oh oke

[raw saddle]

do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior d4rk's avatar optimizer

(it converts mesh toggles into magical blendshapes that make the vertices go to NaN land, it's not necessarily more efficient buuut it does reduce mesh count)

[rain summit]

Is there a way to hide an object in first person view from me only? Without just sticking it in the head

[timber wharf]

@raw saddle ive no idea so youd better luck without referring to me

[somber sequoia]

toggle it off with IsLocal in the animator

[raw saddle]

i'm making you have an idea

[glacial vessel]

can u walk me thru it

[rain summit]

Oh boy, animator tinkering! terrified kobold noises I'm awful at that. Time to get better xD Thank you for the advice! ❤️

[somber sequoia]

I'm not sure why you'd need more information than that?

[glacial vessel]

What is the target bone

the bodys armature or the clothings

[somber sequoia]

you said "from one bone to another" so the target bone is what you considered "another"

I don't know why you would have multiple armatures here.

[glacial vessel]

alr ty

its complicated

[somber sequoia]

it doesn't need to be

[glacial vessel]

it is tho

[glacial vessel]

so for the pants i can transfer the armature on the rights weight painting to the one on the left

it works like that?

[somber sequoia]

simply swap which armature you have listed in the Armature modifier.

[glacial vessel]

but then i need 2 armatures.

[somber sequoia]

no?

Also to be specific about your question - armatures do not contain any information about weight paint. That's in the vertex group on the mesh.

and it doesn't have anything to do with armature, only bone names

[glacial vessel]

so I just change vertex group names

[somber sequoia]

which you will note, is exactly what I said.

[glacial vessel]

yeah

im dumb tho

TY

it works

[tidal void]

Very basic help needed-

Trying to make toggles to enable/disable certain objects using animations.

I'm using an Int. parameter, but for the animation transitions it isn't allowing me to do "Parameter [Equals] Number", it only allows me to select Greater or Less.

What am I doing wrong here?

[somber sequoia]

That's not an int parameter then, it's a float

[tidal void]

?

Ah

True.

Lol.

[somber sequoia]

animator parameters are not the same as avatar parameters

[tidal void]

Oh.

Thank you so much hah

[glacial vessel]

will this clipping be a problem

its from shapekey

[spare spear]

well it still didnt merge the rank is it normal to that this much?

[somber meadow]

They claim on the page it can take up to 24 hours (usually doesn’t though). Has your favorites/friends already transferred?

[royal pebble]

How are y’all sane I watched a tutorial for dummies on blender and I lost all my brain cells

[spare spear]

yea

[glacial vessel]

i reccomend ask ambers tutorial

[royal pebble]

Idk i’ve never seen more settings in my life im to autistic for this

[spare spear]

my friends and avatars are all transferred already but the rank not

[spark walrus]

anyone have experience exporting avatars with hair cards? in blender

[somber meadow]

Best to ask the main question about it

[somber meadow]

Not much we can do as users. What rank was your platform account?

Pretty sure platform accounts are limited to new user

[royal pebble]

All of you have an insane amount of patience

[tidal silo]

Mightve still been asleep when someone responded so I'll restate here:

The issue at hand is I have some outfit toggles using unity's in-program animator/animation system. The toggles (as stated somewhere above) are int parameters, have write defaults on for each, and when tested by playing the animations, carry out the intended toggle.

The issue that arises is that in gesture manager (the thing I used to test them as in-game toggles) the toggle is not carried out. The base outfit (or whatever outfit I have set as the default) just remains.

[wicked valley]

how to i add gestures? i have an avatar but the gestures are really broken, only 3 gestures work on one hand and none on the other

[desert elk]

check your gesture layer if everything has correct animations attached

[wicked valley]

it just says default

lemme open the project rq

[desert elk]

do you have all of the bones correctly mapped?

for both of the hands?

[wicked valley]

i think so

[glacial vessel]

is it noticable i destroyed her ass on the skiinylegs shapekey

[desert elk]

okay, so check the rig mapping if every finger is correct

[rain wave]

how exactly do u fix this issue again?

[wicked valley]

all the armature is in the right place

[worldly ember]

is there a method where an animation dynamically maxes out based on a parameter for example if i have an animation that turns a blendshape from 0 to 100 and have a parameter that transtitions it from 0 to 100 but also have another parameter that i want to somehow stop the transistion at certain points between 0 to 100

[somber sequoia]

install whatever requirement you didn't already install

[desert elk]

does it move correctly in blender? is it weight painted all right?

[wicked valley]

wdym weight painted?

im ew to avatar creation from scratch

[desert elk]

weight painting causes your mesh to move

with the bones

[wicked valley]

how do i check that?

[desert elk]

if you have all bones mapped correctly

[desert elk]

in blender, in pose mode

[desert elk]

and the gestures don't work, it could be a lack of weight painting

[wicked valley]

the thing is, point, fist and thumbs up work on the left hand, but nothing works on the right

[wicked valley]

how would i go about changing it?

[somber sequoia]

you'd want to watch a tutorial on how to do this, it's a bit involved and way better seen visually

[desert elk]

okay, still worth checking the weight painting. For all we know, nothing could be weight painted on the right hand

[wicked valley]

will do

[drifting relic]

Hi, does anyone know what would be the root cause of chat boxes being extraordinarily high? i first thought it was due to bound boxes, but it didnt have any effect when cchanging it.

[wicked valley]

ive noticed it always looks higher for you then other people

[timber wharf]

nah, not that much. should be bounding box

[drifting relic]

The issue is, the chatbox is normal in other models

[drifting relic]

ill try and see if any other tools are causing it, maybe vrcfury?

[timber wharf]

vrcf should be nondedtructive as it can be. but idk

[wicked valley]

is the bone on the end gonna cause any issues?

[timber wharf]

nah

tis fine/ignored

[wicked valley]

i set it to automatic weights and its just put it under the rig

do i just put the model back where it was?

that just broke the avi more :(

[somber sequoia]

possibly those objects didn't have all transforms applied before you tried that

also automatic weight painting is at best a way to get started.

assume that it's going to do an awful job much of the time.

[wicked valley]

but regardless, the gestures are still broken so i assume its smthn in unity

[twilit bough]

Hello, I was hoping someone could help me figure out how I'd be able to drape a cape on a tail? I'm not sure how to set up colliders so the cape and the tail interact with each other, and right now they just clip through one another. Any help would be great, thanks!

[desert elk]

physbones on the cape and set limits?

[twilit bough]

set limits?

I have physbones on the cape

[desert elk]

of physbones

i'd just set limits instead of colliders

but you can also put coliders on the tail

[twilit bough]

Okay, I'll try to use the angle limits

[chilly solar]

im trying to make a tail wag animation for my avatar, its my first time doing it and is so easy, but the animation isnt smooth. going from the last to the first frame is a little snappy and it looks like its pausing for a second. how can i make my animation smoother?

[somber sequoia]

Edit the curve (it's a tab in the animation) and straighten out the curve

by default it's a nice curvy ramp, but you likely want it a straight line.

(this one bugged me for like 6 months before I figured out how to fix it)

[chilly solar]

looks like theres 3 lines, blue and pink are straight and yellow is curved

i just wanna make yellow straight?

[somber sequoia]

yeah there's a line for each property. Fix whichever one bothers you 🙂

[chilly solar]

i dont know what is what :0

[somber sequoia]

they should match up with the properties somehow? I don't have this open at the moment

[wicked valley]

i give up trying to fix it

[chilly solar]

ahh i got it! thank you kazin

[tidal silo]

^any assists? sorry for the text barf just wanted to be thurough

[somber meadow]

Screenshot your animators and make sure you didn't forget to have your animator layers set to 1

[tidal silo]

this bit?

and if you're referring to the weight they are all set to 1

on each layer

[somber meadow]

Wait does the toggle itself work for the new outfit? just the old outfit isn't disabling?

[tidal silo]

Wrong one

no, none of the toggles activate

[somber meadow]

What do the animations look like, and is this animator put in your FX "Playable Layer" animator slot on your Avatar Descriptor

[tidal silo]

if you can't see what the arrow is pointing at, it is the controller labled FX in the left-hand screenshot

[somber meadow]

Clicking the FX animator in the avatar descriptor highlights that same animator listed in the path on the 2nd screenshot?

[tidal silo]

that it does

[somber meadow]

looks like you clicked the one in the animator component's controller slot

[tidal silo]

my b

there it is in the playables

[somber meadow]

seems to be in the same spot, what's the int parameter in both the VRCExpressionParameters asset and the Animator itself

[tidal silo]

I think that's the animator on the right? if not where do i find it

[somber sequoia]

that is the avatar parameters list.

[somber meadow]

here

[tidal silo]

here?

The one that is the int is the outfits, which I have highlighted

[somber meadow]

what do the transitions look like

[timid kite]

when i attach lingerie bra mesh to the armature, it shows inside the armature but also outside? its double for some reason? but when i delete the one outside of the armature the one inside deletes too. wtf

[somber sequoia]

You parented it but it's not part of the collection - drag it into the collection also.

[timid kite]

oh that worked, just dragging it in

[somber sequoia]

yep

collection membership is separate from parent/child relationship

[tidal silo]

the only transitions under outfits

[dense fractal]

help..

my model is selecting wrong part of my body when i click the chest bone it selects my ear

why?

[rugged laurel]

hello there
im trying to find any documentation for the feature of "Viseme Parameter Only"
yet other than couple tutorials i struggle to find any informative stuff
and im trying to make some 2d lipsync with no results 😦

[rugged laurel]

can you give more information?

[dense fractal]

so basically when i go into my hirearchy

and i select the chest or spine bone

it selects the ear

when i wanna move it

[balmy barn]

https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/animator-parameters#viseme-values

another exsample , forgot about that one

think Viseme Paramter only is the one you want

think there was some wierd desynch ingame if it wasnt set

[rugged laurel]

yeah, thats what im working with
when im changing the values in play mode, it changes them, however when i upload the avatar, its stuck on the value i set in there

also weird thing in play mode
when i select the model itself ( inside the hierarchy, the mesh) and change the value - it works ; however when i change in the global one - it doesnt

i mean those

also what is that menu you are playing with? seems really helpful for debugging

[balmy barn]

av3 emulator its in vcc

[rugged laurel]

thanks ^^

[balmy barn]

testing the visme parameter only cause im not sure wich one i used , my test one just detect 'voice' cause i didnt wanted to do alot of faces instead a loop

that work ingame

hdr blew up colors

[glacial vessel]

this litterally isnt weighted to anything but its still stretching

[rugged laurel]

yeah, i have set it up, made all the animations
made all the node thing, double checked everething
i have no idea, i think i met all the requirements there are
what are those anyway
like what else can i check that makes it not work

im so tireddd

for a week im trying to figure this out

ok, checked with the av3 emulator
same issue, works on the mesh itself, doesnt when i select the global thing
im not sure it supposed to be this way

[rugged laurel]

try weighting it ? maybe it stays in place (?)

[glacial vessel]

it was the wrist, i somehow missed it when checking vertexes

does this hoodie look normal or is it really weird around the wrists

[rugged laurel]

the hands feel lowkey smol

[rugged laurel]

is that all there is?

[balmy barn]

15 faces needed is you doing 2d face ( i used a 4x4 tilesheet and uv offset on that) , or just a few detect voice and loop it like i did , just be sure when using any state 'transition to self is off'

[balmy barn]

see transition between

[glacial vessel]

im scared to do toggles

is there any way to make it easier?

like tools or sumthin

[vernal adder]

VRC Fury is a good start

[rugged laurel]

Oh. didnt know about this
ima check if it helps

[radiant cape]

how do i add radial puppets to my emotes on gogo loco?

nvm i found the solution

[limpid cargo]

that is so cute omg. please don’t change it

[limpid cargo]

is it in the right place without vrcfury?

[spark walrus]

good point. It's not exact wording, but Fury isn't giving other options with it :/

[spark walrus]

no way, it is?

[limpid cargo]

i’m sorry, i don’t really understand what you mean.

i think my translator is failing me again 💦

[spark walrus]

yeah, I'm not sure if you meant the armature link or what? 😅

[limpid cargo]

is the object in the right place without vrcfury.

[spark walrus]

I don't know that I can turn the vrcfury off - the assests has prefabs

[limpid cargo]

that’s not what i mean

is the object in the right place, ignoring the vrcfury scripts you added

[spark walrus]

it is, I guess? Sorry, I don't know what you exactly mean? 😓
The object is under avatar in hiearchy

[spark walrus]

I did not add the vrc scripts - they came with the assest

[rugged laurel]

didnt help 😦

[tidal silo]

@somber meadow incase you hadn't seen them yet

[glacial vessel]

tysm

u should like buy the ava

when it comes out

(epik first avatar salesman)

[summer knoll]

idk if this is the right place to put this but i just wanted to know if anyone knew the name of this model do buy it but this shouldnt be against tos cuz its not nsfw

[somber meadow]

#1138520828556890214

[summer knoll]

thanks

[inner sonnet]

Hey folks, strange issue for y'all here. I have a material that is just loading the wrong (or to be more specific, an old) version of a texture. It's meant to be gray but it's loading the default skin tone. It just started happening to randomly and around 4 of my materials are doing this. I'm not sure what info I need to give, but I'll give any info requested ASAP

to be more specifc, it started after adding an emission map on the hand, but i'd done this on many other materials without issue

[iron gazelle]

Do you have a luck with this previewmode parameter? I can't get it to works on vrchat preview..

I see gogoloco has this kind of custom preview animation, but it seems not using PreviewMode parameter

[glacial vessel]

lets be real, people wont actually buy my avatar

so like

why should i make em

[summer knoll]

to use them

[glacial vessel]

yahh but i could be using my time to make a product people would actually buy

[summer knoll]

if ppl wont buy your avatars make ones ppl will buy

[glacial vessel]

ooh wshit

BEO

u cant say goon

[summer knoll]

nope

[glacial vessel]

oih u can

[summer knoll]

wait

[gentle goblet]

Haiii um I have a question, how do I layer normal maps?

[radiant cape]

my rig is perfectly fine and yet it says "spine hierarchy incorrect." how do i fix this?

[dark jay]

Eye positioning in unity is set right but in vrhcat its lower how do i fix it

Lmk

[spark walrus]

how would i be able to make a random animation play every one minute?

or like a randomizer in general

[dense fractal]

hi can i get a help for a piece of lothing..

clothing*

i would want to add on my avi

[glacial vessel]

Are these arm warmers cute

should the be thinner or anything

they kinda coppy at the end

idk how to

[oak bone]

Check to see if your avatar's origin is set at the floor, and their feet

[glacial vessel]

make them not

[oak bone]

Use the grab tool in sculpt mode to pull them out

On blender

[glacial vessel]

like i cant just cut the ends straight

cuz of the faces

[oak bone]

It's jagged cause it's clipping into the arm

[dense fractal]

hello?

[oak bone]

That's why I suggested pulling the warmers out at the end

[dense fractal]

can anyone please help me

[glacial vessel]

becvause iom try sculp them in

WHAT

what did i just type

[dense fractal]

bro why the help chat aint helping bru 💀

[glacial vessel]

sometimes dry

[somber sequoia]

might help to explain what you've done so far, and where you're stuck

[oak bone]

most people aren't going to respond to a "help" only

[dense fractal]

im trying to put on a clothing which is a dress

no idea where to start aside that the knowledge of sculpting

it on blender

[dense fractal]

thats a ass response dude i asked also when people were asking more,,,

[hearty relic]

hi i need help

how come when i upload my avatar my head/face is missing?

i ddnt change the head

[oak bone]

i'm just saying how it is, dude

[oak bone]

if you have the clothes, then it'll need to be parented to the skeleton of the avatar base body you are using

once you do that, you can transfer the weight painting from the base body to the clothing, and you should be good

there are tutorials on youtube you could find to help you

[hearty relic]

anyone know

[dense fractal]

tutorials are kinda eh

[oak bone]

kinda funny. could be a lot of things. does it look normal in unity?

[dense fractal]

should i scultpt the cloth before

[oak bone]

do you have it already? or were you thinking of creating it from nothing

[hearty relic]

yeah it looks normal in unity, i didnt change anything about the head from the previous uploads except increasing the face texture resolution

but it happened before when i didnt do that

[dense fractal]

i have the dress but its not made for my base avi

[oak bone]

ah, gotcha. You could sculpt it first, or parent it first. shouldn't matter

[oak bone]

could be an animation conflicting with it, or maybe flipped normals

it's hard to know without having the project myself

[dense fractal]

yeah.. should i hide the props in the way of sculpting like chains and things like that

[oak bone]

i would, yes

[dusk moat]

Does anyone know how to disable quest hand poses on avatar? I just want my gestures to change my expression, not the hand animation

[dense fractal]

how do you suggest to sculpt the dress. with the inflate tool?

[oak bone]

i'd use a mixture of the grab, inflate, and any of the other ones

just see what works for you

[hearty relic]

does anyone know what to do

[hidden pelican]

how do i get a halo to follow my head
it wont on the Y axis

[olive yoke]

I'm having an issue where only some parameter drivers in my layer will actually work.

brand new project, brand new controller, only layer in the controller and it still does this
I've been trying to fix this for 3 hours

[gentle goblet]

Can someone still help me with this?

[ornate stump]

Layer in what app?

[gentle goblet]

Uh I'm not 100% sure, I'm trying to use multiple normal maps and I've been told you can layer them by putting them in rgb slots but I don't know where those slots are or if that causes any issues too

[ornate stump]

Normal map can't be mixed by just RGB.

There isn't any image editing map that I know can combine normal map.

[gentle goblet]

Hmmm I'll see what my friend is talking about then because yeah they seemed confident but their words confused me >~>

Thank you though ♡

If I find out what they were talking about I'll inform XD

[half stirrup]

this whole "security checks failed" thing is really annoying despite there being nothing wrong with the avi im uploading and its saying its successful and nothing is wrong with it

[desert elk]

what are the stats?

[worldly ember]

so you know how you can have a blendtree state with a parameter set for motion time (typically used for radial sliders)? is there a possible way to have that on the blendtree inside of another blendtree?

[glass solar]

how do I add a emote as a gesture

[austere burrow]

Does anyone know if it's possible to import a Meta Worlds avatar for use in VRChat?

[ornate stump]

In easy way, not possible.

[glass solar]

also wheres the action layer with emotes

I don see it

[glass solar]

theres no example file to find it

[dusk moat]

Why dont I have any vrc sdk packages? I just freshly installed the SDK and there are no packages like for the avatar sample things

[desert elk]

click eye

top right corner

[dusk moat]

Tysm

[rugged laurel]

the issue i might be having
and this is a wild guees
is that there is actually two variables named Visemes
and the vrc SDK only manipulates one that doesnt affect anything
is there any way to link those two INT's in the parameters in the animator?

[desert elk]

#1138520828556890214

is more suitable for this

[lunar iris]

already found it so i deleted the post with out realizing some one replyied

name was Tsumiki Miniwa

[carmine bridge]

I set my avatar to humanoid but it wont actually set the rig to humanoid, even in the avatar descriptor

... nvm

it didn't automatically set this (which I thought it did in the past)

[fluid holly]

I need someone to help me, please! Trying to make my piano avatar move like my real piano with OSCMidi, but I'm not sure how to do it. I installed extOSC, but I'm not sure what to do next. I dont know if I need to create an animation for each key with my project's piano keys, which are all labeled Piano__ Key _ _{corresponding midi number}. You can't put scripts inside avatars, therefore I know I can't make a general script that does an animation. Please assist me if you know how to do that.

[somber sequoia]

yeah I think you'll need to make an animation per key. The good thing is that animation files are just YAML so you could write a script to generate them from a template

then I'd stick them in a giant blendtree. that'll be fun.

[fluid holly]

lmao how? im beginner i started like 4days ago

[somber sequoia]

Seems like a fun project!

[fluid holly]

https://tenor.com/view/fine-this-is-fine-dumpster-fire-everthing-is-fine-everything's-fine-gif-7439361049006933868

idk how to do a script to generate animation for each key with one single animation file lmao

[somber sequoia]

make one, then just duplicate it and swap the path to the target object

[fluid holly]

where can u do that ?

[somber sequoia]

which? You make the animation like any other, there are lots of tutorials for this.
After that, write a script to copy the data inside, alter it, and write out one animation file per key.

[fluid holly]

lets go look at that !!!

thats a lot lmao

[somber sequoia]

wow! very nice 🙂

should be 88, yeah?

[fluid holly]

yes

88 pressed and 88 notpressed

[somber sequoia]

oh, x2 I guess, though with Write Defaults I don't know if I'd bother doing the "not pressed" ones

you shouldn't need them... but try it to see

[fluid holly]

how can i make the key go back without animation ?

[somber sequoia]

that's what Write Defaults does, it resets back when the animation state is exited

[fluid holly]

oh ok

[fluid holly]

animations need to be affected like that on the keys or its an other component ?

[somber sequoia]

I don't think that component works on avatars - you want to add these to the avatar's FX layer

[fluid holly]

oh ok so i don't need to touch anything on the keys component ? i just need to make like an animator thing ?

[somber sequoia]

"keys component"?

[fluid holly]

like i select the key in the root and click add component

[somber sequoia]

but yes, make an animator like any of the tutorials for avatars would show you, look up one about making "toggles"

these are basically toggles triggered by OSC

[somber sequoia]

Yes there's nothing you need on the key object itself

[fluid holly]

so i need to make a float parameter thing that play the right animation right ?

[somber sequoia]

really depends on how you want to build the animator

Personally I'd make one float parameter per key and do this all inside a single layer with a direct blend tree, and use booleans in the avatar parameter list. But if you've not done any of this, it's best to start with the basics. Each key is on or off right? We're not talking about aftertouch or anything weird, right?
So a boolean in the avatar parameter list, boolean in the animator, play the animation when it's true, off when false.

[fluid holly]

yeah idc about velocity or other parameters its just on or off

[somber sequoia]

Yep, so that's nice and simple to start with

[fluid holly]

so i just make this parameter in the animator

[somber sequoia]

well, one per key, but yep

[fluid holly]

ok 💀

[fluid holly]

Chat gpt cooked me a good script lmao ! already done

Renaming evry key manually killed me so now i just ask gpt lmao

[somber sequoia]

hah nice

[fluid holly]

now idk what to do in the layer ....

Like idk how to to the logic layer with blend tree

[somber sequoia]

if you want to go the blendtree path, this is a great primer:
https://vrc.school/docs/Other/DBT-Combining/

[lament hatch]

iiii trying too use a model but it has it own "menu and para" but i already have a FX that am using how can i attach those para and menu tooo a menu i already have?
and it's own FX?

[somber sequoia]

If it doesn't use something like VRCFury, you can merge those things with VRLabs' Avatars 3.0 manager

[lament hatch]

ahh...

how do i use VRlabs?

[somber sequoia]

read the documentation?

[lament hatch]

wha-

[toxic quartz]

So I'm working on customizing my Booth model in Blender for VRC, so I'm not sure if this is right community to post it in.

But I'm encountering some issues with combing different meshes. This is definitely NSFW. Any help would great appreciated. Thanks in advance

[somber sequoia]

I was just suggesting a tool that can solve your problem, I'm sorry but I can't spend the time to show you how to use it.

[lament hatch]

how dooo i solve this tho?

help :3

[wind skiff]

slap on a vrcfury fix write defaults component

[soft thistle]

how do keep the 2d face connected to the head again? i kind of forgot

[left gull]

Weightpaint it to the Head bone

[soft thistle]

gotcha

[drowsy oxide]

any tips how to give face tracking to characters who only have a png file as a mouth

[soft thistle]

all you need is a 4x4 spritesheet for the 2d mouth's visemes, something like this for example

[desert elk]

face tracking ≠ visemes

I don't think that's what ggthb meant

[left gull]

havent messed with FT myself but id assume it also use shapekeys for the diff mouth movements so if you're doing 2d you could do it with a layering method where its multiple 2d meshes that swap with the normal face's PNG through different shapekeys and just make specific PNGs of the different mouth forms though i dont think there'd be a way for it to look smooth unless you're wanting to up your mesh's stats by a bunch

[soft thistle]

o

[round comet]

FT uses a crap ton of shapekeys, yeah

[left gull]

Actually that makes me wonder how optimized you could realistically make full FT on a 2d reliant model since you wouldnt be able to just use a single tile sheet for the face

[round comet]

I’ve never seen ft on an actual 2d model

Only 3d

[novel nova]

why cant i use expressions on pcvr?

its on every avatar

every time i use the wheel, no matter how many times i flick towards it, it wont open up

is there maybe a specific setting i need to have enabled?

[austere kite]

Hi there! I'm currently faced with a problem that peeps are struggling to help me with, has anyone ever faced the issue where if you apply a matcap mask on poiyomi, it disappears whenever you enter the gesture manager in Unity?

It works fine whenever I'm viewing it both on the editor itself and the play mode without enabling the gesture manager, but the moment I toggle it, it's like the mask vanishes and the matcap effect gets applied to the entire body (I was planning on having the head be excluded from the effect). What's even weirder is that the file persists when analyzed with Thry's evaluator for that material in specific, but it's not being used. Does anyone have a clue about why this could be?

For the record, I'm using Poiyomi 9.1 and VRCFury, I did add some optimizations like blendshape optimizer, direct tree and parameter compressor but I did verify that removing those did not solve the problem

[fickle hamlet]

Is it possible to import models from older games? Or is it "easier" to just remake it from scratch?

[unique axle]

In one of the recent vrchat updates it broke my shaders is there anyway to fix it?
On quest I usually remove the blush out of the materials tab and that’s worked for years, but now it goes neon white in game.? Is there any fix for this? 😭

i should probably have put this in quest

[desert elk]

They didn't break it, they fixed a bug that allowed users to bypass the rules, you'll need to find a different workaround

[unique axle]

Oh 😭.. All my old avatars are buggy now on quest

[desert elk]

🤷 gotta edit them

[glass solar]

Does anyone know how to fix an issue where the emote is broken after jumping in vrchat?

[austere crown]

is it possible to make the set blendshapes in unity the default state for the avatar?

[desert elk]

Yes, just move the slider

[mossy jacinth]

i dont know what i did, but my avatar can now infini]te jump and turn around randomly

does anyone know what affects an avatars movement physics?

figured it out it was the cloth physics

[distant nimbus]

people see my fallback as my base avatar with no clothing. even when i set a fallback created by VRChat themselves, it doesnt change or replace the nak3d version??

[austere crown]

so i did move the slider, but when i upload my avatar into the game, it was like i didnt move the slider at all -- it automatically switched back to defaults

[austere bay]

hiii, just wondering if anyone could help me out? I'm converting my avatar to quest and I've found that this is happening with the gloves. They're meant to just be metal. I've checked the faces and they're the right way round, even tried flipping them just incase. I'm not sure what would cause this

[timid kite]

why do some avatars have different hand poses for hand open and other gestures?

[austere bay]

under "playable layers" you can add custom ones

on the gesture layer I'm pretty sure

[timid kite]

is it this? https://kirishop.gumroad.com/l/Better_Gestures

[austere bay]

yeah that's a replacement for the default hand gestures

https://payhip.com/b/Bod1J?ref=jinxxy

I really like this one :)

[timid kite]

awww its so cute!

ive never done anything through animator, would this be possible to do through vrcfury?

[austere bay]

I'm not sure sorry, I don't use vrc fury

it's not very difficult to set up without it though

[timid kite]

well to somebody whos never used animator its a different topic

[left gull]

did you check for any vertex colours?

[trail oak]

Trying to import an MC avi for a friend
how do I turn off interpolation of textures

[austere bay]

I'm pretty sure the one you sent comes with a gesture layer that you just put into the avatar descriptor

[austere bay]

tyyyyy

[trail oak]

never mind im a dumbass you have to select the textures in the assets folder not the material itself

[paper plinth]

sb tell me why i cant get my avis to load correctly anymore I TOOK A 3 MONTH BREAK 😭😭😭 (questie)

[torpid coral]

I'm trying to figure out how to add dances to my avatar, I've got gesture manager and vrcfury on it, but when i use gesture manager, none ofd my gestures do anything at all

And tried uploading it, but all the ones preinstall work fine, the one i added doesnt do anyuthing

[limpid cargo]

please describe the issue you’re having specifically.

[austere crown]

when i move ths scales of the blendshapes in unity, will my avatar stay like that when i upload him?

[glacial vessel]

I just loaded into blender and all my textures are gone

like

they all fucked

[supple cloud]

how do i make a blendshape eye controls?

[glacial vessel]

did ur head come with em

[supple cloud]

no it my avatar i made

[stray trench]

this avatar seems to have all clothing meshes baked together and invisible, with the ability to toggle certain pieces of clothing visible with this shader. im trying to reverse engineer it, does anyone have a guide or info about it?

[left gull]

You could always contact the creator on how they set it up to get an idea on how to reverse it

[stray trench]

the creator isn't interested in helping

[left gull]

wdym ?

[stray trench]

they don't want to offer support and don't sell this model anymore

[austere crown]

anyone know how to keep blendshapes in unity so they dont REVERT back to default when i upload my avatar in vrchat

[stray trench]

by default they shouldn't revert, they will stay at whatever you set them to

if they are changing on their own you probably have something in your project that takes control of the blendshapes

[lament hatch]

how can i make the hair more stiff like and less clip through the body?

[stray trench]

can add a collider in the chest that prevents the physbones from going there

[lament hatch]

i already have one tho..

[stray trench]

did you attach the physbones to the collider?

[lament hatch]

uhhh...

[stray trench]

yes? no?

[stray trench]

you never connected the collider to the physbone, so the collider is basically doing nothing, and the physbone doesn't know that it's there

[lament hatch]

oh...

[stray trench]

change this to say 1 (since you are only using one collider), and then in the new empty field, select whatever the name of your collider is

[stray trench]

then you can fine tune your settings and get it to look how you want

what did you name the collider?

[lament hatch]

uhhh...

no idea..

[stray trench]

youre going to need to figure that out then

[lament hatch]

it's body i think

[stray trench]

did you add the collider as a component to something that already exists? or did you make a new game object and put the collider there

[lament hatch]

is it suppose to look like this?

[stray trench]

no, that's probably something else

[lament hatch]

found it

[glacial vessel]

im not seeing my visemes

[lament hatch]

how can i make the hair more stiffy?

[stray trench]

did you click the menu and look for them

[stray trench]

play around with the physbone settings

pull, gravity, spring, immobile are the main settings

[lament hatch]

which one should be the "big diffrence"?

[stray trench]

they all make a big difference

[stray trench]

maybe this avatar doesn't come with any? or you havve the wrong body mesh selected?

[lament hatch]

make sure you got the right face mesh

[stray trench]

could be you need to select a head instead of a body

[glacial vessel]

they in blender

[glacial vessel]

should my head not be merged to my body or smt?

[stray trench]

some avi's are merged, some arent

[lament hatch]

it should be merged

[glacial vessel]

yeah

[stray trench]

it's just the artist's preference

[lament hatch]

dooo you only have 1 skinned mesh?

[glacial vessel]

lemme see

[glacial vessel]

yeah only one

[lament hatch]

hmmm

[glacial vessel]

oh wait

nvm i was looking wrong

[lament hatch]

a

[glacial vessel]

there is multiple

[austere dome]

Just to ask very quickly. I need to reimport my avatar's mesh, however it has been FBX unpacked already. How do I reimport with the armature intact without breaking my avatar?

[glacial vessel]

cuz pof toggleables

[lament hatch]

aaaa okiii

[austere dome]

I've retopologized an avatar and need to quickly get the new trimmed skeleton in.

[glacial vessel]

ah... ear visemes

nice,

yeah nbi

no

did i export it wrong?

are these named wrong?

[stray trench]

those are correct

[glacial vessel]

so whats the issue

[stray trench]

couldn't tell ya

not enough information without seeing the project myself

[glacial vessel]

what do u needa see

[stray trench]

its too complicated of an issue to go back and forth in messages about, i would need the entire project myself

[glacial vessel]

is it ok to send it to u?

[stray trench]

sure but i can't promise i can fix it

are you just trying to upload the avatar? or did you make this yourself

[glacial vessel]

i made it

[stray trench]

from scratch? or you bought stuff and put it together?

[glacial vessel]

put it together

[stray trench]

did you combine everything with cats blender plugin?

[glacial vessel]

yeah

everything was working in unity up till this

is this wrong?

[stray trench]

i have no idea what this is

ive neverseen this menu before

[unique axle]

ive seen updates on the new "toon standard" shader but i dont see it?

[glacial vessel]

this menu

wanna go to dms so we dont take up the chat

[stray trench]

its fine here

[glacial vessel]

alright

[stray trench]

ive never needed to mess with anything in there

ill check that mine looks the same

[glacial vessel]

alright

the tut im using said to check legacy blend shape normals

ask amber tut

[stray trench]

mine looks almost identical, and my legacy blend shape normals is checked

i dont think that would cause blendshapes to not appear

[glacial vessel]

yeah..

[stray trench]

it could be that you overwrote a mesh and that removed the visemes

[glacial vessel]

should i show my blender export settings

[glacial vessel]

wdym?

[stray trench]

if i remember right, you should be merging everything to the head

[unique axle]

found it, do beta sdk's shaders work in game?

[stray trench]

id assume so, but havent tested

if you didnt merge it to the head that might possibly remove it's blendhsapes

like if you merged the body to the head, and not the head to the body

[unique axle]

i shall test on quest in a bit

[stray trench]

let me know :)

[glacial vessel]

ill brb

[frosty lily]

would anyone like to help me understand why when the material is unlocked it shows up perfectly fine and how its supposed to look only for it to completely do the opposite and get all scuffed the moment I lock it 😊 (tweaking out rn)

(looks scuffed in play mode as well :((

For context I downloaded a snazzy free nuka cola quantum bottle off of sketchfab and it was completely entirely fucked with the textures so i manually had to do everything to make it look properly nice and snazzy but for some reason the liquid itself does NOT like the bottle and decides that it wants to break absolutely everything whenever I try to work with it 💀

[unique axle]

welp i cant open it because it bugs out my other packages i have installed ,, to test it id either wait till its out of beta or with a new projecct

i guess ill wait for option 1 to test

[lament hatch]

what's a good phys setting for cat ears?

[novel nova]

Why can't I use the expression wheel in PCvr, is it some sort of setting? I can bring up the wheel but when I flick towards expressions, it doesn't open up

Please @ me

[frosty lily]

k so neverfuckingmind because I stepped away for a minute after closing and reopening the file out of pure desperate something (I DID THIS ALREADY, I WANT TO PUT AN EMPHASIS ON... and it did NOTHIGN to fix it) and got a drink and stood in my kitchen like 🧍‍♂️ only to come back and now its working so like i hate unity 😭

[novel nova]

Please I need help

[stray trench]

does this happen on all avatars or just one

[timber wharf]

@novel nova flick is an option, by default i believe you need to select+trigger. or maybe not by default. but it is an option somewhere in radial menu.

[lament hatch]

this happen while i switch to android...
and evetything crashed and my monitors resatred and then it took down 3 appications and then it showed back up

it also broke my taskmanager.

[frosty gale]

would anyone happen to know why the scale of the detected bounding box is so wide? its very strange, i havent seen this before

[somber meadow]

Is this the only mesh on the avatar?

[tropic meteor]

Anyone know why is this is happening? Before this happend I had an issue where I had to fix (Auto Fix stuff) but the "Review Any Alert" didn't want to load up, I did reload SDK and nothing. I revert the version and revert it back and still nothing.

I can't neither upload avatar due "Review Any Alert" is broken aswell this Parameter: Capacity keep cancelling whenever is upload. My SDK is pretty much broken and its been happening for quite awhile with other avatar projects.

Keep in mind I'm using latest SDK, latest VRchat Creator Companion and No-thirdparty program or anything that could affect it

[frosty gale]

ye

im doing more troubleshooting, i dont see any shape keys that act weird either

[somber meadow]

you do have the option of manually tweaking it

but usually the bounding box is accounting for the T-Pose state of the avatar and any blendshapes

[frosty gale]

nah that tweak doesnt affect the green one

i assume youre talking about this one right

in unity it looks like this

[torpid coral]

Hi, does anyone know of a place where I can download dances?

[glacial vessel]

can anyone help me my visemes arent showing in unity

[somber meadow]

The SDK has a stroke when performance ranks hits a corruption, seems like yours is related to Physbones

[tropic meteor]

Guessing Ill need to delete physbones stuff that I added recently?

[somber meadow]

I'd do through trial/error on a copy of the avatar in the hierarchy

make sure to disable the original avatar to figure out what physbones are causing the SDK to hit a stop

[zenith escarp]

Anybody know of anything that could prevent an impostor of an avatar from being generated?

[tropic meteor]

On my way, brb then

[near compass]

Does anyone have the polygon texture map

[novel nova]

Why can't I use the expression wheel in PCvr, is it some sort of setting? I can bring up the wheel but when I flick towards expressions, it doesn't open up

Please @ me

[rigid totem]

currently having an issue when I do a gesture with my right hand in gesture manager it does the same gesture for my left hand. however when I do any gesture with my left nothing happens. Ive looked everywhere for something to fix this but it always brings up stuff about gesture expressions, the one thing i did find told me to set a mask in the gesture controller but when i tried that it didnt work. though i could have just done it wrong

nvm i fixed it

[lament hatch]

wait i need a android device plugged in too upload android version now?

[novel nova]

Why can't I use the expression wheel in PCvr, is it some sort of setting? I can bring up the wheel but when I flick towards expressions, it doesn't open up

Please @ me

[somber meadow]

You're clicking build and test. Build and Publish is for uploading

[lament hatch]

ooohhh

i deleted as much as possible i can not get it down

[novel nova]

Why can't I use the expression wheel in PCvr, is it some sort of setting? I can bring up the wheel but when I flick towards expressions, it doesn't open up

Please @ me

[marble pagoda]

anyone know why this keeps happening? im trying to log in to upload an avatar and it seems im always at war trying to log in anytime i do xD

trust me i know my login info i even logged into the website

okay closing and opening the project helped but weird how it happens very often

[chilly solar]

i have a little beanbag chair im able to toggle, it spawns right in front of me and sits in place with a world constraint. it works perfect, i can toggle it on in front of me and leave it there so i can walk around and sit in it. the problem is, for people who join the world after its spawned, it moves right in front of me for them. so if im standing, toggle it on in front of me, and walk forward to sit in it, im now in it. for someone else, the bean bag would be right in front of me again. im not sure how to explain that any better. for anyone who understands, is there anything i can do to fix this? i want people to see the bean bag where i see it even if they joined the world after i spawn it

[uncut lotus]

how many tris are too many for an avi, thats also gonna be for quest?

[somber meadow]

Using VRChat's own metrics is fine as it's not outdated to 2017 hardware is like PC ranks are

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

[worthy tide]

I'm struggling to understand why my model's texture seems so much brighter than it should be.
The texture is not nearly this bright, and I'm using the Mobile/Toon Lit shader.

[somber meadow]

Vertex Colors on the mesh most likely, can be removed through Blender or VRCQuestTools

[worthy tide]

there are no vertex colors

[somber meadow]

Is that material actually applied to the material slot

[worthy tide]

i extracted the material from the prefab

i'm going to double check actually

[somber meadow]

double click the mesh (orange outline) and check

[worthy tide]

maybe one object having a vertex color is messing with unity

ok, just verified no objects have vertex colors, still doing this

i'll look in the sdk

[somber meadow]

that's matcap lit

different from your original screenshot

[worthy tide]

mb

should be same / similar result though

since nothing was inside of the matcap input

my only guess atp is normals

i'm stupid

forgot to remove the sun from my blender scene

[somber meadow]

was it that bright?

[limpid cargo]

toon and matcap (without a matcap on it) shader has an “unlit” look

[worthy tide]

yes

because i'm bad at making shaders in blender that aren't jank

[worthy tide]

yeah, i'm going to bake the lighting onto my model

[lime solstice]

Can anyone teach me how to put a model in the game

[mighty phoenix]

When I upload an avatar and try to use it, it’s invisible. How do I fix that?

[spare gust]

Does anyone know how to make a tail controller with vrc fury?

[soft thistle]

something is wrong with the finger, how do i fix that

[spice thistle]

Is there a way to delete avatars from your like library thingy?

[prisma frigate]

Avatars you made and uploaded?

[spice thistle]

No like ones that I have cloned from other people and such

[prisma frigate]

Just unfavorite them?

[chilly solar]

bumping this since i got no response, my world constraint is being weird and shows up differently for me or someone else based on if they join the world after i place my toggle or not

[fast hollow]

hello i cannot get these shoes to do shoe things (i did armature link and blend shape link but its been a bit since i used unity so i’m probably missing something) anyone know how I can get these to work?

[alpine cedar]

can anyone explain whats going on with the avi, looks fine in scene view

[desert elk]

did you override the fbx with a different fbx? you probably exported it with the wrong settings

[alpine cedar]

i did yeah, but all i did was tick apply transform

[desert elk]

FBX All

not FBX Local

in the Apply Scalings

[alpine cedar]

ohh kk

[ashen crane]

what could cause the eye to suddenly shift positions like this when adjusting the eye look? (also im pressing preview)

[desert elk]

Go in Blender, make sure the eye bones are straight and make sure the bone roll is at 0

if not, correct it @ashen crane

[ashen crane]

got it, thanks

[proud compass]

I'm not sure what I'm messing up here. I got this avatar uploaded an hour ago. I wanted to change a texture and then it fails to upload every time.

[ashen crane]

sadly it doesnt work, even after setting bone roll to 0

[desert elk]

send a screenshot from Blender

of how it looks there

[ashen crane]

of what exactly

[desert elk]

that's not straight up

[ashen crane]

it needs to be straight UP?

[desert elk]

they're horizontal

they need to be vertical

[ashen crane]

never knew that, thanks lol

[desert elk]

plus with that bone view you can't tell where the top and where the bottom of the bone is

they should be like this

[ashen crane]

right

this is how it is now

[desert elk]

again, I can't tell with this kind of bone view

I don't know where the bigger end of the bone is

[ashen crane]

bigger is at the bottom

BUT im still having problems w unity

and its that the eyes r again asymetrical

no matter what happens it always show asymetrically

[desert elk]

try importing the avatar again, not overriding it (you can copy the settings with pumpkin tools if you don't want to set them up again)

[ashen crane]

still asymetrical

[desert elk]

bone roll 0?

i don't have any other ideas if bones roll's 0

[ashen crane]

this is indeed after pressing "set bone roll"

[junior void]

may be related to export settings as well

[limpid cargo]

i’m actually interested to how you do that.

[glass solar]

why is the particle fine in unity but different in vrchat?

Heres the particle info

[fluid holly]

Hi everyone 🙂 i need help ! I have set up everything for my piano OSC avatar but the only thing i need is managing to make OSC change a parameter (IsPressed_{midi value of the key} value (true,false) for every key in my main animator controller but idk how to do that ... And i know that OSCMidi program send osc messages with adress "/avatar/parameters/{midi value - 20}" and 1 or 0 if its pressed or not . Idk what to do lmao XD !

[lament hatch]

it says the avatar uncompressed size is 51 and needs to be 40. i tried deleting almost everything and i can not et it down

[left gull]

removing unused blendshapes,lowering texture resolution are the easier ones to make sure to do but if its still too big then you'll likely need to merge some materials + textures, meshes and bones (though remember to fix the bone weightpainting after)

[still shuttle]

Setting import normals to none on ur avi saves a lot of space but makes the metals look like ass

[worthy tide]

after looking into it, i settled with a custom matcap texture that adds fake stylized lighting and a rim light while being quest compatible

i also have some drawn on shadows and outlines on my avatar’s texture

but you can always use blenders cycle renderer and actually bake the diffuse to a texture if you wanted to

[lament hatch]

how do i do that?

[inland seal]

What is the setting in poiyomi to make your avatar visible in darkness

[somber sequoia]

You might try https://www.poiyomi.com/shading/light-data#min-brightness but worlds can still do funny things

[inland seal]

thx

[fluid holly]

Why do i receive OSC messages but it doesn't change the parameters value ?

[ornate stump]

You should take a look in gesture manager debug menu instead.

[jovial pond]

Does anybody know how to make an avatar change expression when a physbone is grabbed? I've created this parameter but I'm not sure how to link it to an animation.

[somber sequoia]

make a boolean parameter in your animator called Leash_IsGrabbed and use it like you'd use any other boolean to make a toggle

That's what at bit in the little box is telling you.

[fluid holly]

same thing happen, the value doesn't change

[somber sequoia]

you have these parameters in the avatar parameter list, right?

I mean, not just the animator

[fluid holly]

yes

[somber sequoia]

not sure what that image is showing us

[fluid holly]

you can see all parameters in the animator

[somber sequoia]

not at all what I was asking about though

[fluid holly]

my bad

[fluid holly]

what do u want to see ?

like VRC expression Parameters ?

[somber sequoia]

nothing, just make sure you have those parameters in the avatar parameters list, as I said.

yes, like expression parameters.

[fluid holly]

oh ok

Nah its not here :/

[somber sequoia]

then that's your issue

[fluid holly]

and i cant put them all inside bc its too much

[somber sequoia]

OSC changes avatar parameters, not animator parameters directly.

there's no other way to do that

[fluid holly]

so then i need to convert them to boolean bc it takes less space

[somber sequoia]

you can put them in the expression parameters as bools, they'll auto-cast

detail on how that works: https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/animator-parameters/#mismatched-parameter-type-conversion

[fluid holly]

still not working lmao

[somber sequoia]

does it work if you poke those avatar parameters in play mode via gesture manager or AV3 emulator?

[fluid holly]

yep keys r working when i manually set to true

[somber sequoia]

ah something OSC then, I haven't done much in-editor testing with that

[fluid holly]

Its working in vrchat 💀

No way lets gooooooooooooooooo

Now i need to add no particles 🙂

[somber sequoia]

wooo

[vestal ruin]

hey does anyone know what this issue is? idk why this is happening

[somber sequoia]

are there errors? Errors are red, that one is just informational. Post the first 2-3 errors if you have something blocking the build

[vestal ruin]

here they are, i will also say it gives me a yellow sign thing on the validations that says some animator states with write defaults disabled

[somber sequoia]

hmm that's all? nothing useful there

[vestal ruin]

yeah, see my confusion. heres what i see on the validations. it also seems to only happen with this one as i did a test with a test avi and it worked just fine

[timid terrace]

There has to be more errors than that

[somber sequoia]

the WD thing is probably an issue but nothing there is a blocker

[vestal ruin]

this was a bit above that

[timid terrace]

Probably missing VRCFury or Modular Avatar

[vestal ruin]

build and testing gives the same error as well its odd

i have vrcfury what is the modular avatar?

[timid terrace]

Something simmilar, it might be the missing scripts

You should look at the product page of the avatar though

The creator should list all the needed packages

[vestal ruin]

can't find anyhting about it, ill look for that modular thing\

[timid terrace]

Can you show what the actual components are

NeckEndo etc

[left gull]

Check the model's download page/purchase pages description for anything that lists requirements for the model

or if its straight from the model's package w/o edits contact its creator

[vestal ruin]

rn trying with modular

ok it worked with modular, their wasnt anything about what i needed to upload it. idk why but i guess it just needed modular

[tidal void]

Lets see if someone can chime in and help on what I'm trying to do...

I want to put a Contact Receiver on my avi's eyes. This contact receiver will be set to proximity, and would control a blendshape for the eye closing and opening when a hand/finger enters it's area. I know how to create the contact receiver, and I know how to animate blendshapes.

What I don't know is how I would go about seting up the animation logic on the Animator tree for this to work :/

[timber wharf]

@tidal void if you need proximity, then same as matswap etc ie motion time. #avatar-help message

[limpid basin]

Could someone please help me make a pressable button with physbones?
I have made a button in blender, added bones to it and weight pained. But now in Unity I'm confused how to make the button bone only go down. I have Max Squish set to 1 which I thought would allow the bone to be moved down but it doesn't. So now I'm lost what I need to do :/

If you need more info, let me know

[warm basin]

I'm trying to add a seat to my avatar that shrinks avatars to a specific size so they sit on my shoulder, is there a way to do that ?

[tidal void]

For something like this, what kind of parameter should I use? Int?

[median tapir]

my avatar has a sound that I can play but when I play it, it doesn’t work. is it because i’m on quest?

[desert elk]

yes

[limpid basin]

Like when you toggle it on in-game it doesn't play? Have you checked if with Gesture Manager if it gets enabled when you toggle it on? Do you have VRC Spatial Audio Source under your Audio Source component? Maybe your sound distance is set very small?

Can others who are on PC hear the sound?

[desert elk]

i thought quest didn't have sound?

[median tapir]

idk what u mean

[limpid basin]

I have no idea if they do :/

[median tapir]

i just wanna hear it

[desert elk]

it deleted mine when I tried to upload

so idk

[limpid basin]

https://creators.vrchat.com/platforms/android/quest-content-limitations/#components

Yep. Quest doesn't allow Audio Source components

[soft thistle]

had to bump since there was no response yet

[timid terrace]

Seems like there is a vertex not weightpainted properly to the finger

[soft thistle]

in blender however, it does look perfectly fine, but in unity, it's not
remind me if you spot an error in this video

[timid terrace]

Pose the hand so you can see if it's actually fine

[lament hatch]

how can i fix this?
i tried making the texture res less

nice self advertisement and i will try it xD

[timid terrace]

Lmao it will help you though

[lament hatch]

ii try it : D

[lament hatch]

okiii sooooo iii managed tooo get 1 error gone,

now just this.

[somber sequoia]

yep, still too big

[magic stone]

hiii yall im pretty new to unity and have been searching for where to fix this FOREVER with no luck :( im sure its simple but i would really appreciate some help :( broken textures on some facial expressions. :(

[lament hatch]

Seems to be the MESH.

is there a way too make it less big?

[timid terrace]

Try VRCFury Blendshape optimiser

[lament hatch]

wha-

[timid terrace]

It's automatic

[lament hatch]

how do i do that?

[timid terrace]

Don't have a video about that yet but maybe this will work, it's a simmilar tool
https://youtu.be/bepo8DhU4Qo

[night ember]

needs to be set to transparent

[magic stone]

where would that be? i googled it and thats what it said but i cant find where it actually is for the expressions

[night ember]

material

[magic stone]

on the actual like head or somewhere else?

[night ember]

whatever the expressions material is

[magic stone]

ok ill look harder ty

[lament hatch]

thatttt actually worked.

[timid terrace]

Nice

[lament hatch]

🫡

[timber wharf]

its float https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/avatar-dynamics/contacts/#receiver i even believe its stated as a tip in reciever component itself

[bitter ginkgo]

why dose it say i dont have the parameters when i have it

[lament hatch]

what's the best way too fix the lack of "shader" and not make it look like a black color only?

likeeee more clothes like

and for the hair.

[timber wharf]

if its black already, not much. frensel perhaps

[lament hatch]

could poliyomi help+

?*

[timber wharf]

like most stuff you do would just be multiplied by black color and end up being black regardless

i assumed its poi already. but poi is just a tool, gotta know what to tweak, just having it wont magically fix anythin

[lament hatch]

welll i need it more like

lighting ish

instead of it looking like a black pixel.

[somber sequoia]

well first of all, most IRL things that are black are not actually #000000

[lament hatch]

likeeee...

i need shading ish

[timber wharf]

thats why i said try frensel

cant really shade black any blacker

[timid terrace]

I mean she could use a bit of metallics I guess

[timber wharf]

you mean reflective, metallic is just how much reflection gets color filtered by albedo color (and its... black). but nah, thats cloth anyway

[warm fable]

How do I fix this?????

[lament hatch]

cause my clothes look like "the void".

[lament hatch]

and in the light it still void like

[warm fable]

I just messed with the material of one thing and now I cant fix it

[night ember]

then dont make it just straight up black

[lament hatch]

i figure it out..

[warm fable]

Ok does anyone know what texture for the specular (material) is called?

[somber sequoia]

a specular map I guess?

[lament hatch]

what's some good config for nice looking hair in poliyomi?

[somber sequoia]

there's a lot of discussion about hair in the poiyomi discord, often it involves setting up a secondary UV map in a specific way and using anisotropics

[warm fable]

I don't see anything relating to it

What texture did I mess with

What IS the Specular

All I know is that it messes up with the eyes

[ornate stump]

[coarse heron]

Having an issue with the rigging of an avatar I'm trying to make? When in desktop it'll be like the image on the left, but work normal whenever I'm moving. In vr, it'll only do that when I'm standing at a specific height but when I'm moving it becomes jittery. Does anyone have any tips for what I could do or at least point me in the right direction?

[warm fable]

Ok now how do I find it

[ornate stump]

It isn't always necessary for a material to have texture.

[warm fable]

Assuming its part of polyomi, which I assume most of everyone uses, where would it be under

[warm fable]

I really don't know why its not making my eyes different

[somber sequoia]

obviously we have no idea what's in your project

[ornate stump]

Try set preset transparent, change color alpha, and enable matcap texture.

[warm fable]

Its supposed to be this

[somber sequoia]

Poi docs are very good:
https://www.poiyomi.com/shading/reflections-and-specular

[warm fable]

I know I was hoping someone had a quick solution that doesn't involve me restarting everything

[somber sequoia]

I'm not sure what problem you are trying to solve here, I was just answering that one question

[warm fable]

Pretty much I changed a texture that I shouldn't and it now cause my eyes to not be what I want it to be

[ornate stump]

Did you try what I suggested?

[warm fable]

Cant find transparent preset

[warm fable]

I cant find it in the preset list

[somber sequoia]

see where it says "fade" there? Change that

[warm fable]

Is it called something else

Ah

Ok that fixes everything

Thanks guys

[magic stone]

i set everything to transpaent and it only looks a little better lool i have no idea

[modest ridge]

does someone know how to remove the default afk animation? i have added an afk banner that shows when im insteam vr overlay but the default afk animation my avatar makes is annoying

[night ember]

action layer

[lament hatch]

how do i fix the glow in the dark thingy using poliyomi pro?

[night ember]

shading and or emission

[somber sequoia]

you'll need to describe your expected outcome, it's not clear what needs fixing

also again the poiyomi discord is a great resource, especially if you've purchased pro

[lament hatch]

ah-

welll my goal is too not make it glow in the dark.. and reflect the light that it has on it..

instead of it staying bright red ish

[somber sequoia]

do you mean the heart there?

[lament hatch]

oooh wiat i think i figure it out

[modest ridge]

when i set idle to none it still makes the default animation

or is it not possible to completely remove it?

[bitter ginkgo]

why the fuck this happen

[soft thistle]

here's how it turned out

[somber sequoia]

if that's your base layer, when you add new animations, they have to be in the animator somewhere in order to use them, so it just adds them there by default.

[distant nimbus]

my avatar appears with no clothing to PC users as a fallback? how do i fix this.. i dont want to flash ppl 💔

[bitter ginkgo]

it broke my toggles tough and some of the things there dosent even exist

[somber sequoia]

again if this is actually the base layer in that animator, just delete all those state and add an empty state as the default. Then it shouldn't be a problem going forward.

[bitter ginkgo]

then i need to redo all my animation then?

[somber sequoia]

no? the animations themselves still exist in files

and I assume you are working in other layers?

[bitter ginkgo]

all the other layer i have created dissapered when i uploaded my avatar

parameters to

[somber sequoia]

possibly you were working on a different animator than the one actually on your avatar? show a pic of the avatar descriptor with the playable layers visible

[bitter ginkgo]

i dont think so

[somber sequoia]

See what's in the FX layer? that is not the animator you seem to be editing

the one in the Animator component isn't used by the game, the ones in those playable layers are.

You do have to put the animator you're working on into Animator if you want to edit it though.

[bitter ginkgo]

fix it ty

[distant nimbus]

my avatar appears with no clothing to PC users as a fallback? how do i fix this.. i dont want to flash ppl 💔

[lilac basalt]

Does anyone know how to upload avis..i know theres an option for help but im doing it myself it just ran into a problem, ive never done this and the tutorials arent helping. I got to the build and upload part but it says theres an error with something but i dont understand, i never done this 🥀

[somber sequoia]

make sure the default with no animator running is whatever state you actually want as the default.

[somber sequoia]

feel free to post the error message here

[lilac basalt]

the problem is idk which one is the big problem

theres 15 and the tutorial said to just ignore unless it says auto fix

[somber sequoia]

you have 49 errors in the console, clear, try the build again, and if it fails post the first 2-3.

[lilac basalt]

ok

[somber sequoia]

Also 270k polys is a LOT.

but one thing at a time

[lilac basalt]

the thing is i dont understand ANY of this

[somber sequoia]

"missing script"

[lilac basalt]

i havent touched unity since 2023

[somber sequoia]

You need to install all of the requirements the creator says are needed.

[lilac basalt]

the creator didnt say anything, i checked both websites and asked the server but its a ghost town

it only gave me 2 downloads which is just unity, no folders

[somber sequoia]

got a link to it?

[lilac basalt]

the avi?

[somber sequoia]

yes

[lilac basalt]

yes, give me a second

https://jinxxy.com/lpb/aero

i bought it off jinxxy

[somber sequoia]

wow that's not helpful at all

[lilac basalt]

not even the server says anything and i have to pay to have someone help

[somber sequoia]

I'd guess it needs gogo loco and probably VRCFury

[lilac basalt]

https://tenor.com/view/inugami-korone-hololive-thinking-anime-confused-gif-17902545

but..how do i do that..

im sorry

i am so lost, i just followed what the guy with the annoying voice said

[somber sequoia]

I'm just taking a guess here, don't know if it'd solve the problem

both of those things can be easily found, vrcfury.com and gogo loco is on gumroad and booth.

[distant nimbus]

sooo write default needs to be on?

[somber sequoia]

That's up to you.

[distant nimbus]

bc in gesture manager it doesnt show her clothe-less whether write default is on or off

im just trying to make sure i understand what i need to fix

[somber sequoia]

Ideally you want to stick with the same setting for everything on an avatar, and you want to understand what this means too.

I generally keep it on for avatars and off for worlds.

[distant nimbus]

gottt ya

alr well tysm, ill be back if its still messed up 🙏

[hexed sparrow]

Hello, I know that this has probably been answered before but I'm still confused about it. I know that VRChat removed Quest transparency, but I can't seem to get clarification on whether that means they fixed the bypasses/modded SDKs or they made it so that VRChat/mobile/particle shaders no longer work on meshes. Does anyone know for certain?

I looked it up in the chat before typing this and most people are saying the mobile particle shaders still function, but I have only ever used them and yet my avatars with those shaders now have opaque black backgrounds.

[somber sequoia]

Quest never had transparency officially, you may have been using a hacky workaround.

[hexed sparrow]

I am talking specifically about the particle shaders in the VRChat folder. They DO still work for particles but they also worked on meshes before. Was it working on meshes accidentally for the past 4 years???

[somber sequoia]

Yep

[hexed sparrow]

Wow 😭

Thank you for clearing that up. That's crazy that it was like that for so long when it wasn't meant to be

[lilac basalt]

im retrying it all, im going to try the pc unity link to see if theres any difference.

[hexed sparrow]

Update to anyone else curious I once again do not know because some of my avatars using the VRC particle shaders actually do still work not sure why some do some don't but oh well

[lilac basalt]

i seriously need help.. i dont know what to do and im just messing it up doing it myself and literally nobody in their sever is talking which is socking with how many are there

[somber sequoia]

I guess everyone is working on their own stuff

I think the problem you have is we don't know what script your avatar is missing.

[chilly solar]

my physbones arent moving on quest but do on pc, any idea why? i can give more details if needed.

[glacial vessel]

can anyone help me my bodys (head hair and body) blendshapes arent showing up in unity

blendshapres for others do tho

[somber sequoia]

Do you have any un-applied modifiers on those meshes? that can prevent shape keys from showing up in the FBX

[glacial vessel]

wdym un applied, nd btw they are merged

this is happening when i open my project too, no textures

[somber sequoia]

in Blenders, most modifiers can be applied, their affects baked into the mesh. Lots of modifiers can't be auto-applied at export time.
If you have one mesh and some are showing up then it isn't this.

Pink = broken material, maybe missing shader, maybe missing textures.

[glacial vessel]

yeah i have to re apply idk why

[somber sequoia]

ah that's Blender - probably it's missing textures, maybe you moved the files, etc.

[glacial vessel]

i packed and unpacked

i did find missing files and it mostly fixed it all

just got a few wrong

[desert elk]

if you have more than 8 components they will all get deleted

[chilly solar]

ahh, good to know. gonna pick and choose which parts are loosing their floppy aspect lmfaooo

[glacial vessel]

so how do i check this

[somber sequoia]

see if you have modifiers on your mesh objects

[glacial vessel]

i do

armature and data transfer

[somber sequoia]

the data transfer one is probably the issue

armature you don't need to apply

[glacial vessel]

ill see

ty

[glacial vessel]

do i remove it

[somber sequoia]

I have no idea what it's for, so I definitely couldn't answer that

[glacial vessel]

alr im opening unity

if it doesnt work u got other fixes?

[somber sequoia]

no idea what's wrong yet

[glacial vessel]

it fixed it anyways, tysm

[chilly solar]

second bump, i really need help with this world constraint problem

[somber sequoia]

Oh good

[grave nimbus]

can i ask here help for this?

[somber sequoia]

"too many parameters" means you have to uncheck "synced" in the avatar parameters list on enough that the count (at the top) is under the max value. Which yes, means some of those won't be visible to other players.

that ought to show up in the pre-build stats though

[wooden nova]

whats the max limit for avatar constraints?

[left gull]

That'd depend on the platform, the limits for each performance rank should be listed here: https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/avatar-performance-ranking-system/

[grave nimbus]

im sorry, i am very new but where would i see it? this happened after i added quite a lot of clothing toggles

[left gull]

it'd show up in the SDK upload panel stat section iirc unless your adding things during upload through VRCFury or ModularAvatar

[grave nimbus]

im adding through modularavatar

[left gull]

dont think theres really a way to fix that other then removing some items and making a 2nd version of your model for them under a diff ID

[glacial vessel]

my goloco seated stuff isnt working

nvm

anyone have a good in depth but time efficient poiyomi tut?

[tranquil niche]

Hey hey! if i could get some advice here or maybe some help, i'd be super thankful! but essentially i'm working on an avi for vrchat and wanted some more shoes for it, and rather stupidly i purchased two models of the same shoes one costed me $9 and the other costed me $60, and this could just be because i'm a perfectionist or the fact that i have 40 pairs of shoes irl but there are some problems i have with both models and my issue is when i put them into blender, i don't know which ones i want to try and fix or if i should just mash the good parts of both together. Essentially the $9.00 one has an overall higher quality model, or essentially, a more detailed model though they get some things wrong which kind of bug me so I’ll use my irl pair to help illustrate the issues I have with both. With the $9.00 pair, the shape is too curved if that makes sense?

The weird shape on the side seems a little too sharp on the $9.00 one

[somber sequoia]

I'm just imagining how many polygons these have....

[tranquil niche]

But the BIGGEST issue I have with it is the sole
Because I hate the little bits sticking out on the bottom which aren’t there irl and after spending a while trying to figure out why I found the issue

[somber meadow]

$60 for a shoe model?
