[glass geyser]

now it says the project you are opening contains compilation errors

do I have to create a new project

[short ferry]

so that didn't work at all, I'm not sure what I'm missing here

[quasi pebble]

tpose in playmode -> hit preview on animator, makes it go into bicycle mode, -> click off preview its still in bicycle pose -> hit playmode -> still in bicycle mode, toggles dont work, get out of playmode -> sets it back to a tpose -> launch playmode again -> doesnt drop arms like its supposed to, stuck in tpose, toggles dont work

yes its on humanoid rig, and i did reset it.

[upbeat widget]

Cashapp won't refund you. Whenever doing a commission always go through PayPal and never do family and friends only business. Your bank also will not refund you.

You unfortunately were scammed and you'd have to report that user to cashapp too so at the least their account is taken down, however 6 months is too long far out for a claim to be made

Sorry this happened to you!

[dry kindle]

why would the bank not refund?

[wanton cedar]

Does anyone know how to make a flashbang particle?

[west magnet]

How would I do texture packing for the new toon standard shader?

[blissful trellis]

any ideas on why when i upload a pc/quest model, despite the quest version being 10mb and having a successful upload- in game it displays security checks failed?

[glass geyser]

am I going to have to completely uninstall the sdk, delete everything along with all data, start completely fresh just so the sdk can work again?

[quasi pebble]

like bro wtf

[proper storm]

banks dont refund unless there is like hard proof or fraud usually

they also have to create a new 100$ to give you (which they dont want to do) unless its fraud as I said

[quasi pebble]

@young bear sorry im replying to an old ass message, but your the only one im seeing with the same exact issue, ever figure it out?

[lament hatch]

am having issues with OSC...

[young bear]

What I ended up doing was just using the locomotion layer instead of the gesture layer.

[west magnet]

The new toon standard is making all these little sparkling flecks appear rapidly around my model when using metallic, how would I fix this?

[quasi pebble]

ah, seperate than mine then

fuck

[young bear]

e-123 omega jumpscare (are you on the latest verison of the beta sdk? i know they pushed a change a couple of days ago that fixed a couple of issues with reflectance)

[west magnet]

I'm on the newest SDK, the full release that just came out a few hours ago

[timber wharf]

@west magnet learn what metallic in terms of shader is (optional) is and set it to 0 for non-copper/gold materials. and e, they said they fixed it so perhaps reupload will help.

[west magnet]

I just added it right now, I built and tested it just now and its still broken

[timber wharf]

added what

[west magnet]

Im in the newest version of the SDK, added toon standard, and its doing the weird flashing thing even in the most recent update of the game/SDK

[timber wharf]

now remove metallic mask and/or set it to 0 since it has nothin to to with being metal and/or reflectability and only affects color filtering for some materials

[proven dome]

what do i dowhen im given this warning?

[somber sequoia]

look in the console for errors perhaps

[gray lodge]

Vr chat is not letting me move at all idk what to do

People are saying avatar lock

idk what the heck that is

[proven dome]

thank you! i think i figured it out

[gray lodge]

I'm new to vr

[slate shuttle]

whats the difference between having an animation in my FX layer and using the "Playable layer" thing instead of copying the default playable layer and adding it to that

[gray lodge]

I'm scared I messed up my headset

Someone help!

[somber sequoia]

This channel is about creating avatars.

[gray lodge]

I've been trying to get it to work going on 4 hrs

oh

[slate shuttle]

i cannot for the life of me get my animation to play

[somber meadow]

Make a new thread in #1138891887374237706

[quasi pebble]

so im having this wackass issue

tpose in playmode -> hit preview on animator, makes it go into bicycle mode, -> click off preview its still in bicycle pose -> hit playmode -> still in bicycle mode, toggles dont work, get out of playmode -> sets it back to a tpose -> launch playmode again -> doesnt drop arms like its

what vexes me is
its not the fx
as you see on the bottom video, its on a diff model
and i packaged and moved it to another project
same issue

i have Reimported everything, still have the same issue.

[fathom ledge]

Hello, I have no clue what issue this is specifically, but I got this model going and after a bit of toiling with the armature, the left leg stands crooked, and it isnt using the normal vrc walking animations, any pointers on how to fix this? I had to kind of set up the rigging myself a bit, and maybe i had an oopsie? but this issue only shows in vrchat and not in the unity editor so i genuinely have no clue. Thanks for any pointers in advance

[ornate stump]

Did you actually "test" in unity editor? Like using gesture manager and such.

[fathom ledge]

The Lyuma Gesture Emulator i think it was called, yes that one

I think the only problem i saw was the weird walking but not the standing position being off

[somber meadow]

Did you mess up the left/right leg naming

[fathom ledge]

pretty sure everything is named correctly i can provide proof if needed

[somber meadow]

I mean as in, the left/right is the wrong way

it needs to be from the avatar perspective's left/right

[spark walrus]

well.. uh.

i'm clearly doing something wrong ;-;

[ornate stump]

So set your model rig to humanoid.

[spark walrus]

how do i do that :(

[ornate stump]

Inspect your fbx file in unity.

[spark walrus]

oh

this is frustrating.

[ancient hawk]

how do i remove the quest version of my avi?

[night ember]

You dont

[marsh surge]

anyone know why i cant grab these keys sometimes? I could grab them before but suddenly they're ungrabbable

[short walrus]

Is there a way to set up packages like VRCFury as 'default' so I don't need to add them to every new project?
And is there any drawbacks to enabling a package that isn't used in the project {besides waiting for it to load that package)?

[limpid cargo]

you should be able to add it as a package in the VCC

then it is still manual, but much easier to just add in one go with everything else you need to add

[short walrus]

Okay, that's what I'm doing now, just hoped there was a way it was always pre-loaded because it's used with pretty much every avatar I've come across.

[serene galleon]

I got everything updated and im trying to upload something and its telling me i need the avatar descriptor but i already have the script added on. Am i missing something?

[somber sequoia]

seems like you're missing an avatar descriptor

[frail shore]

You can make packages like VRCFury default by adding them to your Unity project's template or managing them with the VRChat Creator Companion (VCC). That way, you won’t have to manually add them every time.

Possible downsides:

1. If the package isn’t used, it might slow down Unity, especially if it has background processes running.
2. Some packages can create conflicts with other tools or dependencies (e.g., AV3Manager, Poiyomi) if not updated or configured properly, leading to errors like missing scripts or serialization issues
3. Extra memory usage could impact overall performance.

Helpful tips:

1. Clean out unused packages now and then to keep things running smoothly.
2. Use VCC to easily manage and update your packages.
3. Check for compatibility issues before adding multiple packages to your project.
4. Test in play mode by using Unity’s Play Mode with Gesture Manager to preview VRCFury changes without permanent commits.

Hope this makes things easier for you!

[short walrus]

Very thorough answer, many thanks!

[brave rock]

why does this model delete bones when its in unity

[hard halo]

just got vrchat. how do i make an avatar and make it look like me ? helppp

[balmy lantern]

If this is the rig configure, you just need to set the spine to your Spine bone. It should be there in the selection.

Also, flipping your hips upside down is not recommended for whatever "FBT fix" you may have heard

[brave rock]

?what

i didnt flip the hips

the first pic is what the model looks like

the 2nd image it just...changed everything in unity

i dont understand 😭

[balmy lantern]

Right. The first pic is what the model looks like in Blender or whatever other 3D modeling program you use. The hip bone is upside down which is why I mentioned that but not the root issue.

The right image is a screenshot taken in the model's import settings in the configure rig. It seems like your Spine bone in the configuration is set to None. The bone should theoretically still be there, just Unity's auto bone mapper doesn't always get it right especially if you don't use the proper naming conventions for bones. Regardless, selecting the spine bone in your rig's Spine slot should work as Unity typically does not delete bones from imported models

[brave rock]

i have nothing to use for mapping the chest because it deleted bones, so i need my bones

and are you telling me to also fix the hips? i can do that

[balmy lantern]

You shouldn't have the Hips be upside down if this is your model, indeed. As for it not appearing in the selection, can you provide an example screenshot for what you do have access to use?

[ornate stump]

If you just need an avatar that look like you, use https://readyplayer.me/.

[brave rock]

i didnt make the model i :cc its just very jank

apperently, i just did something for it to appear (the bones i wanted), the bones still dont look like the first image but theyre still there, and its good enough for vrchat so 🤷‍♂️ ? thank you for your help

[spark walrus]

can someone send me a tutorial or something :(

[desert elk]

1. click your fbx in unity's assets
2. in the inspector (right side) click rig
3. pick humanoid from the drop down
4. click apply

step by step tutorial

[spark walrus]

thank uuuu

[dusk moat]

I am trying to set up toggles for face animations, I am using int value and toggling but the animation doesnt revert back fully and gets stuck
This goes away when I make hand layer weight lower, but it then causes my hand animation to not play fully
Are you not able to have both?

[ornate stump]

That happens when you had mixed write defaults.

[desert elk]

Yes

that's probably it

[dusk moat]

Okay thank you, I will try checking again

Thanks so much, it worked!

[spark walrus]

how do i change the rig into a humanoid rig?

[somber sequoia]

inspector for the model file, rig tab, select it from the dropdown and apply. Assuming the rig is built right.

[spark walrus]

i got an error

[desert elk]

go to configure

and you pobably have something you shouldn't have there

aka it looks like you have a hat in the eye bone slot

if i'm understanding the error correctly

[somber sequoia]

yep

[stoic blade]

keep recieving this same issue and i am clueless on how to proceed

[serene galleon]

But it was already on the avi

[somber sequoia]

you'll have to show some details then. is the descriptor not on the avatar root?

[somber sequoia]

did you follow directions from there?

[desert elk]

it could be freaking out cause it

it's unpacked

[somber sequoia]

ahh you've got errors in the console that are preventing UI stuff from building right

[desert elk]

if not than idk

[desert elk]

ah i didn't even see

[unreal echo]

hiii yall

[somber sequoia]

that won't cause this issue, though it IS a bad idea anyway

[desert elk]

hi

[desert elk]

i see i see

thank you for telling me 🫡

[civic cliff]

i dont wanna retype all of this if somebody knows anything pls ping me

[serene galleon]

Ive just been dealing with alotta issues. So unpacking it caused it to break?

[desert elk]

no

[somber sequoia]

no.

go to the console, clear the errors, look at what errors are still there. Something is broken.

but re: unpacking, unless you reallyreally have a good reason to do it, you probably should not.

[somber sequoia]

is that the only one?

you clipped the image small so I can't see the error indicator at the upper right

[serene galleon]

Im prety sure it is the only one

[somber sequoia]

yep, that's the only one. and that's why your avatar descriptor isn't working right

it's not clear what's causing it though - maybe try restarting unity or reinstalling the SDK

[serene galleon]

I was thinkin that. Ill try it

[gaunt trail]

for folks who have drawn ref sheets for avatars, is there a certain size the ref needs to be? Like the canvas? (ping if reply)

[serene galleon]

So, When i do reinstall. It would be best i make a new project right?

[somber sequoia]

I wouldn't, no

just go into VCC or similar, remove the package, and re-add it

[spark walrus]

how do i fix this 😓

[desert elk]

... I said already. Go to configure and check if everything is correct. The eye bone probably isn't.

[spark walrus]

oh ye

[stoic blade]

Not really sure what the directions are

It just says "authentication failed"

[somber sequoia]

Literally under that, read the rest of the image

Go to the console, view errors. Post the first 2-3 if you don't know what they mean.

[storm hinge]

help it wont upload because of this error: UploadException: Failed to upload file
VRC.SDKBase.Editor.Api.VRCApi.UploadFile (System.String filename, System.String fileId, System.String friendlyFileName, System.Action`2[T1,T2] onProgress, System.Threading.CancellationToken cancellationToken) (at ./Packages/com.vrchat.base/Editor/VRCSDK/Dependencies/VRChat/API/VRCApi.cs:973)

[serene galleon]

Thank you for the help!

[somber sequoia]

oh that worked? nice.

[stoic blade]

I cant right now. Im not home

[somber sequoia]

that "threading cancellation" one people say is something about networking, maybe your DNS, maybe try a VPN? I know there's been some discussion in the past in here but I haven't paid attention to it

[serene galleon]

I reinstalled it and i can upload. Im praying it fixed the other issues too

[somber sequoia]

maybe come back when you can actually work on it then?

[stoic blade]

Yeah, will do.

[spark walrus]

how do i change the shaders to the quest-compatible shaders?

[somber sequoia]

dropdown at the top of the material

if you can't change it, that material is probably embedded in the model file and you'll need to extract it or just make a new material

[spark walrus]

how do i extract it?

[somber sequoia]

material tab in the inspector for the model file, or in your project window, find the model file, expand the dropdown, select the material in question and ctrl+D to duplicate it

[storm hinge]

still nothing i turned on a vpn using opera

[somber sequoia]

I don't have anything more, haven't encountered this myself.

[onyx osprey]

is ther a tuto for "modernizing" the bone of a very old avatar quick ? or is it better to just redo it all from scratch

[somber sequoia]

probably depends what it looks like? I'm not sure what modernizing would mean

[onyx osprey]

this

and i think it should look like this instead right ?

[prisma berry]

i need help on this too because this happens to me toooooooo many times

[somber sequoia]

this looks like it came from a game or something rather than vrchat. the bone tails being weird in blender doesn't actually matter in Unity (it only cares about heads), but I'd definitely align that right

[onyx osprey]

its a avatar from booth but its 2021

the thing is based on what y have learn lot of steuf changed between 2021 and 2022 for avatar so

[somber sequoia]

not really anything for rigging

[onyx osprey]

so if you have ani idea or tuto about "fixing" the old avatar like that would greatly appreciate the help

oh ?

[onyx osprey]

cause the performance on it are prety scuff so im trying to optimize was told to start with bone and rig first

if you have any insight im willing to learn !

[somber sequoia]

again, I'm not sure what needs fixing?

[onyx osprey]

im very mutch a beginer at this soory is the bone being outside the body not a problem ?

[somber sequoia]

I answered that

[onyx osprey]

yes my bad

then no i guess im fine soory for wasting your time

[somber sequoia]

no worries

[steel root]

Hii heres my errors if anyone knows how to help.. I would really appreciate it :))

[somber sequoia]

you have 999+ errors, show the first 2-3, the rest are surely side-effects.

[steel root]

They're all the same error I'm pretty sure?

these are the first ones

[somber sequoia]

try restarting unity first

[steel root]

Oh

restarting it actually worked

[somber sequoia]

wooo

[steel root]

I thought it wouldnt cause I already tried but it did lol thank you sm!

[spark walrus]

SDK is chirping about me using 265/256 but I only see 89?

[night ember]

using shit like fury?

[spark walrus]

Oh yeah

[desert elk]

enter playmode and check again

vrcf adds everything on upload/in playmode

[spark walrus]

Its removing like all of the objects I added onto the avi when I do that

Guess having FT add-ons really limits what you can put on

[somber sequoia]

it really does, yep

but that's ok - you can make multiple avatars, so you just have to be a bit more diligent about how much you put on each.

[spark walrus]

Ill try a optimized menu add-on see how it goes first

Apparently the base avi is pretty unoptimized to begin with, regarding parameters anyway

[onyx whale]

does anyone maybe know what i messed up in unity for my avatar to reach up like that when the arms are on normal height?

[left gull]

perhaps check where the model's viewpoint is or make sure its origin point is actually 0.0

[calm moss]

any clues why my jersey does that?

[desert elk]

"that" is what?

first thing i wanna say is that you shouldn't really have two armatures on your avatar

[somber sequoia]

yeah really try to not do that

[calm moss]

forgot to delete the oter one

the back lift up

no clue why

[desert elk]

what method did you attach it with?

[calm moss]

made child and dragged shirt armature 1 by 1 on the avatar armature

[desert elk]

i see

i haven

i haven't done it that way in ages

[calm moss]

what way should i do it?

[desert elk]

it looks like you may have done that wrong

what did the shirt armature look like originaly? cause i think i see the issue

or no

idk

your armature is a mess i don't know what's going on there

[calm moss]

that was the jersey armature

[desert elk]

i don't know what you did

[night saffron]

I don't know what is happening D:

[desert elk]

but if you're set on attaching it in unity, use a plugin for that, cause right now you have a mess tbh

[desert elk]

is this the only error?

[calm moss]

the problem is i only have the fbx

[desert elk]

okay

that's all you need

for attaching it, in blender, in unity, doesn't matter

you don't need more than the fbx

[calm moss]

when i open it on blender the texture doesnt follow

[desert elk]

that's normal

textures are attached in unity anyways

[calm moss]

ohhh

[desert elk]

that's not a problem

[calm moss]

so i should attach it in blender?

[night saffron]

yea

[somber sequoia]

I would, but you also have VRCFury in your unity project so you could use ArmatureLink there too

[desert elk]

either that or with something like vrcfury in unity

yeah

if you already have vrcf just use that

[calm moss]

vrcfurry didnt work

[desert elk]

so use blender
i know nothing about fury

[calm moss]

ight

[somber sequoia]

there's a discord for fury if you get stuck on that too

[mental estuary]

If VRCFury didn't work it's because your armature for your asset doesn't match your avatar's armature

[somber sequoia]

^ yeah that

[calm moss]

yeah i know my jersey spine armature is split in multiple section and not my body armature

vrcfurry didnt like that

[mental estuary]

Then that's an asset problem. You'd have the same problem attaching in Blender as VRCFury is having

The asset needs modifying to work with your avatar

[desert elk]

yea

[calm moss]

yeah i would need to redo the bones of the jersey right?

[desert elk]

you could merge the spines in blender for example

[somber sequoia]

you probably don't even need to merge if they're reasonably close in size/laout - just rename the vertex groups and ditch the extra armature

[desert elk]

yeah

true

[somber sequoia]

depends on which kind of workflow you want though

[calm moss]

thats what it look like

[desert elk]

okay, that tells us nothing

what Kazin meant is that you could rename some bones to match your avatar

from what I'm seeing you avatar has hips, spine, chest
you could rename the shirt bones to hips, spine, and merge spine1 and spine 2 and call that chest
at least that's what i'd do
and attach it to the avatar in blender, since it should work now

at least that's my idea

[calm moss]

okay

on my avatar the hip bone is like that

wouldnt that be the cause of my problem?

[night saffron]

well, actually no this isn't the only error

[quaint tundra]

Can anybody slap some clothes on some avatars for me? I'm almost completely useless in unity unless I'm just uploading an avi

[somber sequoia]

you can commission people at the VRC Traders discord, 'round here you'll find scammers. Link is in #1204490664637890580

[sleek zealot]

Hello, I'm trying to set up an avatar and physbone such that when the physbone is grabbed and stretched the mesh moves with it, i.e. grabbing a pair of glasses. I can't seem to find the magic combination that will make this work though, it will either rotate in place and not stretch, or will only stretch halfway along the length of the physbone and not at the end, depending on where I place the model's bones. I've been able to fix this with a parent constraint before but I want to avoid using those if possible.

[night saffron]

if anyone else can help me out with this that'd be helpful

[somber sequoia]

nothing of use there unfortunately - are there more actual errors above those two? (errors are red)

[night saffron]

no, those are the only two

[night saffron]

yeah, its only just those two errors that're causing me to be unable to upload

[night saffron]

okay, I can put it as a test but i can't publish it

[somber sequoia]

always post the first 2-3 errors, not the last. And don't clip the messages.

[somber meadow]

Try changing your thumbnail it could be getting hit by the content filter detection, or the image is a bad format

[somber sequoia]

can't read what's at the end of that last one

[night saffron]

it was the image format

[somber sequoia]

nice, I didn't know what that error looked like

[somber meadow]

Confusing that they needed debug logging to even see it

[somber sequoia]

yeah

[dark jay]

I cant get my model on quest, compressed the textures so it still looked good but noy blurry and removed some emotes

what else can i do

[somber meadow]

What’s the error you’re getting

[dark jay]

hold on im trying to upload it one more time to get the error

[night ember]

if its like the download size error then it only updates after uploading again

if its the memory error it might be the blendshapes

[night ember]

how much do you have on that model

[dark jay]

i added in a material swap and this happened

[slate dew]

I'm trying to make my avi quest compatible but whenever I try and place a new mat it changes to this (left is standard mat, red is whenever I add a quest mat)

[night ember]

what are the stats

[dark jay]

i have a few emotes and a toggle swap

[night ember]

also how many images are you using

[dark jay]

before hand it was 6.2mb on quest not compressed and not low quality

[somber meadow]

Remove vertex colors from the model, can be done through blender or Unity with vrcquesttools

[slate dew]

Wonderful, ty

[night ember]

how many images are you using in total

[dark jay]

for what

[desert elk]

textures

[night ember]

the avatar you are having issues with?

[desert elk]

materials

you know

[dark jay]

oh textures

i was confused with image

[night ember]

textures are images

and so is menu icons

[dark jay]

10

i would have to check menu icons

[night ember]

thats for everything?

like normals maps etc

[dark jay]

no normal maps

this is for the quest side

[night ember]

whats the size for every image

[dark jay]

1024x1024

for all now

and matcaps are 512x512 except 1 of them thats 256x256

[night ember]

thats quite a bit

[dark jay]

yea

[night ember]

what are the rest of the stats

[dark jay]

there

[night ember]

jesus that texture memory

how the hell do you have over 500 bones

[somber sequoia]

wow.

[dark jay]

its a honkai star rail model

maybe the weapon still has the body bones

could that be it

if i have too much bones could it increase size of mb

[night ember]

I mean they all do have data

[somber sequoia]

probably a little but it's more a sign of what else might also be ridiculous

[night ember]

not entirely sure how much itd increase it

but thats definitely not an optimized avatar if you have that many but also somehow only 31k tris

[dark jay]

um didint realize

[desert elk]

what is that? 😭

[dark jay]

the white on the bottom is the sword

[night ember]

did you just make the textures not use any compression at all

[dark jay]

its compressed to low quality

[night ember]

177mb is insane

[dark jay]

it is and im also using vrcfury

[night ember]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

fury is awful

[dark jay]

why is that

[somber sequoia]

it can be a bit of a "black box"

[night ember]

describes itself as "nondestructive" despite the fact it tells you fuck all about what its doing

also most of the time it does it in the most lazy way causing stuff to be unecessarily unoptimized

[desert elk]

i agree

i like to keep my vrcf usage to minumum

[night ember]

I only ever see the use of fury is for stuff that decided it to be the only option and its too annoying to manually add it like face tracking

[dark jay]

ok

[night ember]

otherwise just use different tools to make a permanent clone with the changes applied

like if you can apply everything on build or entering playmode let me just make an applied clone once so I dont have to keep waiting for you to apply it every single time

[stray trench]

is there a way to have a collection of images/decals that are randomly chosen to appear on a mesh/texture?

[night ember]

could very well be an issue that fury is adding extra stuff

[stray trench]

i want my avi to have a collection of funny shirts without adding a million meshes and polys

[night ember]

what

[stray trench]

is there a way to have a collection of images/decals that are randomly chosen to appear on a mesh/texture?

[desert elk]

i'd assume so

[night ember]

thatd be done via shader?

[spark walrus]

why is my avatar freakishly tall and barely functional?

[desert elk]

you could do one texture with an off-set in the shader

and set it up to randomize

[night ember]

what does adding extra meshes and poly's have to do with materials/uvs tho

[desert elk]

in the layers and stuff

[desert elk]

well, what does it look like in unity?

[stray trench]

i am saying it would be silly to add multiple shirts, which would be multiple meshes and textures

[night ember]

you need to be less vague than that

[stray trench]

so thats why im asking for a better solution

[night ember]

why are you needing to add multiple shirts?

[stray trench]

im not lol that is why i am here asking for a better solution

[desert elk]

if they're the same mesh, they can just use the same mesh with different textrues or a texture offset

[night ember]

^

[dark jay]

how do i lower texture memory usage

[stray trench]

okay, ill try to figure out the texture offset

[night ember]

make it more optimized
use less

[spark walrus]

sorry if this isn't helpful

[desert elk]

screenshoot

that is not helpful

at all

[stray trench]

they are asking what the performance stats are

[spark walrus]

unfortunately, i don't know what else to say- it's really tall and doesn't move properly

[night ember]

whered you get the model

[calm moss]

@desert elk @somber sequoia ty for the help i got it working now!!! you guys are lifesaver

[spark walrus]

paid 50$ for it 😭

[night ember]

where

[dark jay]

if i compress the textures not in unity and then compress it in unity would it make a difference

[stray trench]

send a link of where you bought the avi

or dm it to me or something if you cant link here

[night ember]

yesn't

[dark jay]

wdym by that

[night ember]

yes and no

[stray trench]

they mean yes and no

[spark walrus]

@night ember @stray trench https://payhip.com/b/hZ4Rv

[night ember]

it can if it has unnecessary metadata

[dark jay]

how do i delete the unnecessary meta data

[night ember]

thats not going to be an issue

[desert elk]

@stray trench here's an example of a texture offset #avatar-help message

[stray trench]

does this come with a .unitypackage file?

[night ember]

its mostly file size not memory usage

[stray trench]

ty so much

[spark walrus]

it doesn't

which is frustrating

[desert elk]

did you set it as humanoid?

[spark walrus]

i did

[desert elk]

and did you place your viewpoint in the correct spot?

[night ember]

it has a scene in the image he sent

[stray trench]

this shit is not worth 50 bucks

but thats besides the point

im guessing yuo already watched a guide on prepping the avi for use in vr chat but i think you might have missed a step somewhere

what did you mean by "barely functional"?

[desert elk]

yeah

explain further

[sharp hollow]

So idk if im in the right spot

But i have a friend making my goob alter a model n stuff for a avi. My question is do you need vrchat for importing and Making it an avi or what do you do

[spark walrus]

the arms don't move at all, only the hands. and he's like 11 ft tall.

[stray trench]

whats a goob alter

[night ember]

I mostly asked cause why is there a prefab-id in the image and not an fbx

[spark walrus]

did system i assume

[stray trench]

you need creator companion and unity for making and uploading an avi

[desert elk]

1. is your humanoid rig set up correcrlt?
2. where is your viewpoint?

[sharp hollow]

So: goob is from dw

[stray trench]

what is dw

[sharp hollow]

And ^

Thats how alters exist

[sharp hollow]

Dandys world

Roblox game

[dark jay]

so if i compress it out of unity the mb size would be lower a little

[night ember]

you need unity

[sharp hollow]

Ok so all my friend has to do is get that stuff then they willl be good?

[night ember]

again yes and no

[stray trench]

if they are just trying to upload an avatar, that's all they need

[sharp hollow]

Alrighty

[dark jay]

yes for what part and no for what part dumb it down

[spark walrus]

1. i believe so..
2. i don't know ? i am so sorry

[desert elk]

that's a camera.

[night ember]

had a png that was 6.1mb but then when I redownloaded it through a image resizer without changing the size at all it went down to 2mb

[desert elk]

did you watch any tutorials on how to set up an avatar in unity? if yes, tell me which one.

[spark walrus]

i'm admittedly really stupid because my brain is slow

[night ember]

didnt really change in unity but can definitely be an issue

[spark walrus]

i can't remember but i think it was a video by someone named ask amber

[desert elk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRAnDMUbWt8&t=236s

watch this

[spark walrus]

alright

[desert elk]

this is the most basic one

[spark walrus]

also, idk if it changes anything, but it was an .fbx

[desert elk]

that tutorial is or fbx

ask amber is cool, but not for everyone

[night ember]

there is a scene in this image

[dark jay]

ah

[night ember]

you gotta have quite a bit of shit for it to be that big of a size

[slate dew]

I feel this is a super simple problem with simple fix but

Leg bend out to sides instead of forard when crouching (No fbt) how fix pls?

[night ember]

knee angle setting in the vrchat settings

[wispy moon]

is there a way to "un-upload" the quest version of an avi blueprint?

[night ember]

no

[wispy moon]

ugh

[somber sequoia]

delete the avatar, upload a new one without the quest version

iirc that will be a new bluprint id though, unfortunately

[night ember]

it would

[wispy moon]

im troubleshooting on a specific blueprint ID sadly

[slate dew]

Is that in vrc settings or while im in unity?

[spark walrus]

that was how it imported ;-;

[night ember]

I just said vrchat settings

[slate dew]

Ok word, didnt know if you meant in game or if there was a menu in unity for it

[spark walrus]

what the heck

[night ember]

however if its just the one avatar then your avatar didnt follow the rigging guideline

[spark walrus]

why is it so tall

[night ember]

because the fbx is probably massive

[desert elk]

yeah

that's the way it was made probably

[spark walrus]

is that a bad thing?

[desert elk]

if you don't wan it tall, yeah

[night ember]

no its just that you would be an annoying user

[spark walrus]

i set up the eye level thing

[spark walrus]

i always scale my avis down in-game anyway

[night ember]

what is the eyelook settings

[spark walrus]

it doesn't have functioning eyes, so there are none

[night ember]

like the viewpoint

[spark walrus]

oh that

[wispy moon]

hmmm. for some reason imposters fail to generate specifically on one blueprint id 🤷‍♂️

[night ember]

jesus

why is it 4 meters

also why is the x so far to the side

[spark walrus]

i positioned it between the eyes like the video said

[desert elk]

X needs to be 0, if it's not it means your avatar is in the wrong spot

[night ember]

first off that is incredibly massive
the default height is 1.6 you are over double that

[desert elk]

and has the origin in the wrong spot

is your avatar position at 0.0.0?

[spark walrus]

i can check

okay, it is now

[desert elk]

okay

can X be 0 and be between the eyes?

the viewpoint

[somber sequoia]

I'd go back into Blender and size that better, and apply the transforms.

[spark walrus]

understandable

[dark jay]

it now went down to 120 for memory size

[night ember]

thats better but can be even better

[hollow rover]

Hey guys i need help

[night ember]

with?

[hollow rover]

so on the leftthe textures are normal but when exporting to fbx on unity

the body becomes transparent

[night ember]

the normals are probably inverted

enable backface culling in viewport to see

[spark walrus]

this is so frustrating, why did the model come like this 😥

[desert elk]

🤷

[stray trench]

the person that made it doesnt know what theyre doing and doesnt feel guilty for trying to sell it

[spark walrus]

i fear you might be right

(that's the creator)

[desert elk]

ofc, ofc

[stray trench]

50 dollars for something that didnt even come with a unitypackage and is a very basic model is ridiculous

[desert elk]

i agree

[dark jay]

forgot to say im also using the new toon standard, should i go back and use matcap lit

[desert elk]

they think they are excused cause of the warning

come on

have some decency

[spark walrus]

i wasn't aware it was like this 😭

[desert elk]

ye

[stray trench]

its not your fault

[desert elk]

it is

[spark walrus]

this is disappointing

[stray trench]

i can almost guarantee you theyll say no but id ask for a refund just on principle

although itll be hard to make a strong argument as to why you want one without being familiar with blender and unity

[desert elk]

i think the author would just say this

and not give a refund

[stray trench]

they are expected to know how to make a decent model

is what id be thinking lol

[desert elk]

truee

[stray trench]

id still ask, i wouldnt really do it but i wanna give them an earful just for being so shitty

[night ember]

shouldve at least made a functioning scene so you can actually upload it

[spark walrus]

:(

[night ember]

like did this person just make an avatar model then not set it up at all

[stray trench]

i believe so

[desert elk]

yes

[spark walrus]

i'm not sure what to do now, this really sucks

[stray trench]

sorry about y our 50 bucks but in the future just be very careful who and where you buy from

[desert elk]

and it's supossed to have multple outfits, i guess you're supossed to set it up yourself XD

[stray trench]

actually so fucked

[spark walrus]

learned that the hard way

[night ember]

this feels like a failed commission where the guy fucked off so the creator just said "fuck it Ima sell it the way it is right now"

[desert elk]

truu

kinda

[stray trench]

if youre ever unsure, come to this channel and we can let you know if it looks good

[spark walrus]

what do i do with it now lol

[desert elk]

fyi for the future, try to buy stuff that includes a unitypackage

[spark walrus]

yeah

[stray trench]

throw it away

[desert elk]

learn blender and unity basics to set it up 🤷
or throw it away

[stray trench]

or you can hire someone to finish it for you

but

its very easy to get scammed this way

[desert elk]

yup

[stray trench]

lots of people will just charge you an insane amount of money

[spark walrus]

i wouldn't want to put anyone through the trouble of fixing it

[stray trench]

its not a lot of effort

[desert elk]

it's not hard if you know the stuff tbh

[stray trench]

its a lot of effort for you since you have to learn everything

id offer to do it for you but since im doing it for free im not gonna get to it right away

[desert elk]

yes

[stray trench]

i can take a look at it during a weekday

[desert elk]

yeah, same

[spark walrus]

i expected it to be simple 😭

[desert elk]

could help you out

[stray trench]

not sure if its within my skillset, im a beginner and dont do much blender besides basic sculpting

[spark walrus]

i don't mind how long it takes you, as long as it's done at some point

[stray trench]

feel free to dm me or eliot a google drive link with all the items in it

[hollow rover]

Tried this out and the body is still invisible

[desert elk]

it shouldn't be that much, scale it , check armature
fix up unity
give an actual unitypackage

i have dms off so just add me if you'd like

[stray trench]

yeah that doesnt sound too bad, hopefully they didnt fuck up any other st uff

[desert elk]

we'd need to check yeah

[spark walrus]

i sent you a friend request

[stray trench]

just accepted

[glacial vessel]

why cant i reparent a bone

[spark walrus]

they did finally reply

[desert elk]

accepted too

[desert elk]

are you in edit mode in Blender?

[glacial vessel]

I wasnt, ty

why did my model js import like this...

its

horrifying

wait

my materials arent done properly

[desert elk]

you didn't set scaling to FBX All

[primal spruce]

Anybody know how i can make something on 1 side of a avatar? texture wise? i wanna draw something under the left eye of the avatar im working on, But if i draw under it it draws under the other eye aswell cause its mirrored

[somber sequoia]

don't use a mirrored texture

or UV map, it could be that

[glacial vessel]

i figured. ty

shit

i did smt

i lost all my scripts

and stuff is breaking

[primal spruce]

im not sure what that means, its kinda a already made texture and stuff, and im just trynna draw on it and put it on

[somber sequoia]

the UV map in Blender tells where the texture applies, probably it's setup so one side is a mirror of the other side

[glacial vessel]

i lost all my scripts and stuff ig i fully reimported the model somehow

is there a way to recover?

[somber sequoia]

were they on objects that you removed or renamed? this is why I put things like constraints and physbones on their own object trees not directly on the avatar or armature itself.

[primal spruce]

oh, im doing this in unity
im still not so sure how to make make everything go to blender

[somber sequoia]

well the UV map issue still applies - if it's setup this way it won't be possible to paint on one side

[glacial vessel]

are u asking me?

[somber sequoia]

Yes, sorry I didn't reply

[sleek zealot]

I've got some animation constantly changing the value of a blendshape from 100 to 0 and I can't track it down, any tips on how to identify what's doing this?

[glacial vessel]

its ok, it was renamed i believe, because of something in blender

[somber sequoia]

turn off all animation layers. turn them on one by one to see which causes it

[somber sequoia]

yep, so it's a new object and anything previously attached is gone. maybe if you rename it back then re-export, it'll show up again. If not, restore from backup (you did make one, right?)

[glacial vessel]

yeah i always save but where do i find em?

[somber sequoia]

what, backups? I have no idea what method you used, so I wouldn't knpw

[sleek zealot]

I also had some weirdness with contact senders and receivers where it would always return true regardless of where the sender was. Is there still a bug where it's stuck as true if the sender starts inside the receiver?

[glacial vessel]

i just save

[somber sequoia]

so no backup, okay.

[glacial vessel]

ah

[somber sequoia]

(make backups)

[glacial vessel]

alr

[gilded hamlet]

Guys im going to freak out HOW DO YOU USE CONTACTS AND MAKE IT SO WHEN THE CONTACTS TOUCH IT PLAYS A EFFECT like ive been trying to make it work for so long

[somber sequoia]

contacts just set variables in the animator, which you then do whatever you want with

the place where you can put a variable name, you put that same variable in the animator parameters list.

(usually the same data type too)

[sleek zealot]

create a contact receiver, set its size, set the collision tags (typically hand and/or finger), then set the parameter and receiver type. In your animation controller/FX create the same parameter then create an animation layer with a transition to an animation that enables the sound object when the parameter is true

[glacial vessel]

how do i load backups

[somber sequoia]

Again I have no idea what you do for backups, so I can't help here.

[glacial vessel]

i just made on in vcc

[somber sequoia]

I don't use vcc

[glacial vessel]

oh

dang

so i lost everything again

sweet

[gilded hamlet]

Thats exactly what i did and nothing NOTHING i dont understand I've tried so many different things

Im using the basic avatar to test

[somber sequoia]

maybe you can explain or show what you have? it's not clear where you are stuck.

[gilded hamlet]

What do you wanna see maybe my animation layout

[charred epoch]

I am trying to import a fbx that i edited in blender, but when it comes back into unity, it is surrounded by a dark grey outline

[proper orbit]

its doing this over multiple avatars and a world file

[gilded hamlet]

Can you send a screenshot

[gilded hamlet]

I wont honestly just export what you have and start a new sdk

[proper orbit]

seriously? but its doing this with both old and new files?

[charred epoch]

The one on the right is the original avi that was in the package, the left one was from when i imported the edited fbx

[proper orbit]

that looks like the materials on the avi has an outline you just need to lower the with

[gilded hamlet]

Are there any errors in your console

[gilded hamlet]

Hmmmmmm

[charred epoch]

It is using the same exact materials for it though, this also isn't the first time it has happened when i tried editing an fbx

[proper orbit]

its probably cause your export settings are slightly different then the og avatar if it dosent match up itll affect the transform size it can also affect physbone radius's

[proper orbit]

no

[charred epoch]

Is there a way to find out how to fix it

[gilded hamlet]

Yeah i dont really know then honestly i would try making a new sdk and seeing if that works especially because no errors are popping up

[proper orbit]

it depends on your export setting the most common way is to select FBX All when exporting if your already doing that try doing it without and if that dosent work maybe try seeing what export settings the og creator used

[charred epoch]

How do i do the FBX all?

[proper orbit]

its in the dropdown menu under transform

[charred epoch]

Thank you, that worked

[lean plank]

how would i make a physbone move less the futher it gets from 0

[glacial vessel]

how would i go across making multiple versions of my avi

for example pc, quest, and opti

[somber sequoia]

copy it, do different things to the copy?

[glacial vessel]

alright ty

i thought it woulda been ahrder

[timber wharf]

theres blueprint id you paste into pipeline manager component, thats the only thing that binds them

[glacial vessel]

alr

when optimizing should i jus make everything the same quality?

cuz someone said normals are better higher

[timber wharf]

huh, what same quality is

[glacial vessel]

texture resolution

[somber sequoia]

how much texture memory are you using right now?

[timber wharf]

when optimising, you do it below very poor each platform🤷‍♂️

[glacial vessel]

so the reccomended

[timber wharf]

and if you just call it a day and upload pc to android, youd hit 10/40 limit

[glacial vessel]

wait but

say i need to make a textures resolution lower for quest

imma jus make a copy of the project

[timber wharf]

its not like you absolutely need to lower res, its just pc has iirc 200/500 limits and quest has 10/40.

[glacial vessel]

how do i fix triangles

[timber wharf]

thats a lot of work to fix (decimation, egde loop dissolve) but 250k is kinda acceptable for pc, especially if its different outfits. on quest its way worse so just stick to one ig

[glacial vessel]

Should i just remove a bunch of clothes for quest

[timber wharf]

id say yes
tho them being diffent meshes shown one at a time, doesnt affect perf that much. but does use vram still

[glacial vessel]

so what should i do there?

[left gull]

seperate the outfits into their own model IDs, you can keep your outfits that way without ruining your model ranking

[glacial vessel]

i assume that isnt great for commercial use tho

what should i really fix here (for pc)

im gonna make a non sp s version to so

[somber sequoia]

wow that's a lot of polys

[timber wharf]

thats not

[somber sequoia]

if you're trying to get under Very Poor, it is

[timber wharf]

given theyre hidden at a time

ye but its pc, literally 90% is very poor and thats fine

[left gull]

merge some meshes and their materials if possible and some bones

and commercially its not common but is done by a few creators, its just most dont care if their stuff is done poorly because they're just asset bashers

[glacial vessel]

thas me 🤷

[left gull]

:l

[timber wharf]

so youre trying to bash smth commercially viable?

[glacial vessel]

no broski im joing 😭

joking

[chilly solar]

i share an avatar with my sister that i made, and it has a material swap so i can be my purple kitty and she can be her orange one. the orange one is the default, and i toggle the purple. for some reason ive found that people see me with the default material toggles on? including the one for my hoodie. i dont know how much this happens. i know that my friends have never seen the orange, and see my toggles. maybe its people who have my avatar off? i dont know if its a bug? any thoughts?

[solemn vale]

Any of yall been sued for copyright infringement. I’ve seen many assets that are carbon copies of things that are TM and idk if there are repercussions. I’m working on remaking the doom slayer chainsaw shield and am wondering if ima get sued for it lol.

[left gull]

its not likely if you dont already have a customer base but does happen to those that do

[somber meadow]

Depends if you’re stealing/ripping the model from the game or making your own and if you’re profiting from it

[left gull]

as i see it if you're using direct assets from the game/making a carbon copy of what they do in-game+ using their assets= offer it free on a storefront

if you've re-created the assets/making something similar but not a direct copy from the game using none of its assets= sell it for profit

[somber sequoia]

if you're going to actually sell things using a copyrighted character without licensing it, yeah don't.
if you're making your own and not selling, probably nobody cares enough, and if so they'll probably start with a cease & desist.

(this is not legal advice, &c., &c.)

[somber meadow]

ID software usually fucks with fanmade art heavy though. However their legal department is definitely handled through Zenimax (Bethesda)

[somber sequoia]

yeah some companies are way more aggressive than others (*cough* Nintendo)

[solemn vale]

Models and vfx and animations are ALL made by me and my team, it’ll be sold on jinxxy and just trying to affirm I ain’t gonna have to go through legal shit if I post this shield

[somber meadow]

The sold part is iffy

Probably remove the doom slayer sigil as I assume it’s copyrighted

[solemn vale]

I will

Already planned on another sigil

[left gull]

likely wont get sued but jinxxy will 100% remove your listing and hit you with a warning/ban

[somber meadow]

If that sigil goes away I’m pretty sure you’re good under parody law

[left gull]

they're very strict about copyrighted material there even if offered for free

[somber meadow]

I don’t think they’re crazy enough to go after people with a “shield saw”

[solemn vale]

I also will only be calling it chainsaw shield and having “inspired by doom dark ages” in desc

[solemn vale]

Seeing as I’ve never been hit with a warning or anything before I prob will give it a shot. If I get warned I’ll 100% stick with custom creations with no inspiration. Just wanted to make sure legal shit ain’t coming to my door

[left gull]

hm really? maybe they're just flippant, myself and others have had trouble in the past with characters/brands that didnt even have fully/proper copyright on them (i personally couldnt convince them that winnie the pooh is public domain )

[solemn vale]

lol. I haven’t made too much. I mean I have never had any warnings for anything in the past so I hopefully shouldn’t get banned for a first offense

We will see if

[mellow scaffold]

what values do i use in unity for a body collider?

[somber sequoia]

what do you mean by body collider exactly?

[mellow scaffold]

nvm, i think i figured it out

[hollow gust]

Anyone know how to fix these errors

[somber sequoia]

the first one - most of the "how to make a quest avatar" videos will show this, you need to change any PC-only shaders to quest compatible ones

[clever thorn]

Can you download a world and add it to an avatar?
like a droppable house you could add
I've never done anything with worlds so I don't know

[somber sequoia]

it wouldn't be an actual world but you can make a small house, sure

[clever thorn]

I mean

like

Can you import a world file into an avatar

and somewhat expect it to work

[somber sequoia]

if by "world" you mean a 3D model, yes. If you mean an actual VRChat world, no

[clever thorn]

is it just completely incompatible?

[somber sequoia]

yes, worlds aren't avatars.

[clever thorn]

hmmmmmm

ok so

what if you imported the thing within the world

like

what if you copied it

could you just get it and take it as like

a prefab?

[somber sequoia]

so the 3D model? I answered that one already

[clever thorn]

hmmmmmm

[somber sequoia]

you'll have to deal with size limits

[clever thorn]

ok step by step

I download a world, import it into the worlds sdk thing, then click the model for the house, export it as a unity file, then transfer that over to an avatar

would that work

[somber sequoia]

no

er, not really

[clever thorn]

how would i get it from a world to an avatar?

[somber sequoia]

also you don't really want to export like that, just grab whatever 3D model you want, turn it into an avatar in the standard way

which yes, could be right out of a world project

[clever thorn]

mkkkkkkkkk

ill just experimentt

[raven apex]

can anybody help me with some syncing issues?

[somber sequoia]

maybe, just ask

[raven apex]

please can anybody help me with some syncing issues lol

[somber sequoia]

...

[raven apex]

are you able to help?

[somber sequoia]

what I meant was, just ask your questions, no need to ask if you can ask.

[raven apex]

gotchya

My effects arent syncing properly, here are my sync layer paths as well as my animations for them, ive done this in game and they've worked before so I dont know why they are not working now

[west magnet]

having a problem with audio, it seems like audio randomly stops working, have an avatar with a lot of audio sources and some seems to mute until i reload the avatar randomly, how would i fix that?

[somber meadow]

Exactly how many audio sources and are they active all the time?

[west magnet]

they use the play audio behavior in the fx layer and are set to "play on awake" but technically they are on all the time

[rocky grail]

how do you fix this its blank

[left gull]

try saving your project and closing>reopening it

might just be unity bugging out

[rocky grail]

i did

[left gull]

are you getting any red errors in console?

[rocky grail]

um

@left gull

just these

[left gull]

hrm those dont really say anything

[rocky grail]

i clear and those keep popping up

automatically

[weary imp]

Can i do something about it?

[desert elk]

it being what?

we don't know how your model is supposed to behave

you'll need to be more specific

[weary imp]

Bones on the hat is moving with me if i drop it to world constraint

i did immobile world to 1 and it works only if hat is attached to me

[wide canyon]

I'm having a really weird issue, hoping someone here might be able to help. I got a springjoint ball to put on my avatar, and for the most part it's working fine. However, for some reason it moves around whenever I move my head, even though it's not connected to my head or viewpoint in any way. It's only connected to a Rigidbody on my hand. Anyone know what might cause something like that?

These are the settings I have on the springjoint.

[molten pulsar]

Does the multiplatform upload work for anyone or is it just borked for me
the windows version uploads just fine but after that it gets stuck

[desert elk]

could be issues with the quest version, too big or something

[balmy lantern]

Works on my machine. If you haven't installed the build support for the other platforms you should do that and when switching platforms after new assets are imported, the new assets will have to be imported and processed on the other platforms as well

This processing of assets alone can take an ungodly amount of time

[uneven whale]

Hello. How to make an animation of removing the collider floor? When my avatar lies on its back, its tail sticks out between its legs. I saw in some avatars an animation of removing the collider floor. Tell me some tutorials on how to do this yourself?

[molten pulsar]

it uploads fine if i upload per platform, its only a 4mb avi

[uneven whale]

I mean it...

[amber pivot]

does anyone know if you are able to make it so particles snap to the other directions when viewed from an angle? I want my guy's head to not look like this when being looked at from the right side since its unnatural looking.

[balmy lantern]

On the collider, you can animate the check box to turn it on and off

[dim void]

is there anyone that could help me upload my Mamehinata avatar with my new hair and clothes? idk how to, and when i try theres always errors.

[desert elk]

what errors?

[dim void]

About the Phys Bones, skin mesh, too many triangles

i probably did things wrong, because ive never put new clothes and hair on an avatar before

[desert elk]

do those warnings (they're not errors) prevent you from uploading?

what method did you use to attach the clothes?

[dim void]

modulas avatar tool or whatever its called

maybe i did the hair from

[dim void]

yes, it says "fix errors before uploading" or something like that

[desert elk]

can you send a full screenshot of the window/

?

[desert elk]

Oh it's for Quest?

It is quite big if it's for Quest

physbones aren't gonna work

[dim void]

yeah. idk how to fix it

it worked to upload the original model bit i cant with the new hair and clothes.

[desert elk]

it's probably too big for Quest

[stoic blade]

can someone help me with this?

[vapid holly]

does anyone know how i can fix this (or why this is happening?)
The material on the right doesn't properly show up on the tail, but it works just fine on the rest of the body. I assume there's something wrong with the tail but i am not quite sure what?

[junior void]

Is the tail a separate asset? Is anchor override set? Does it have the same normals settings as the body?

[timber olive]

The tail is lagging

There one texture missing there

[junior void]

if you use the search function here on discord, you will find plenty of answers

[amber gull]

hey can someone help me why on unity the viewpoint gizmo won't appear please?

[somber sequoia]

got gizmos toggled on? Upper-right icon in the Scene view

[amber gull]

yes

but it doesn't show

[somber sequoia]

sometimes it's hard to see - what I'd do is set it to 0,0,0 and then it should be way more obvious

[amber gull]

it doesnt show

[balmy barn]

looked at your feet , viewpoint 0.0.0 , you managed to screenshot just torso and up

[amber gull]

sorry what do u mean exactly?

[somber sequoia]

the screenshot you just gave didn't show the origin, where that ought to be.

[somber sequoia]

ah, seems you didn't do what I suggested, okay.

[amber gull]

sorry i didnt understand

[somber sequoia]

set the position of that to 0,0,0

then click edit

then you should see the gizmo at the origin, move it whereever

[amber gull]

sorry but am i blind? :c

[somber sequoia]

seems you do have a move gizmo?

[amber gull]

omg it fixed it

i hadmy avi hidden couldnt see it :c

thank you everyone <3

[mystic marten]

How do i put glasses on a avatar in unity without ruining the gestures?

[desert elk]

why would that ruin gestures?

maybe explain how putting them on ruined gestures for you, and this way we'll be easier able to figure out what happened

[solemn vale]

They prob mean clipping

[barren slate]

Hii! I'm having issues with a mesh I am editing in Blender. For some reason, despite it being symetrised and mirrored when editing, thre are weird spots where lighting is being bent in weird ways it shouldn't for the mesh. I've tried smoothing it with and without mirroring, shade smoothing, checking the face orientations, merging verts by distance but nothing. I can't seem to get the lighting issues with the mesh to go away. What can I do? https://youtu.be/EjflKVdM8Fo (sorry about the ending, I didn't realise my mic was muted)

[desert elk]

oh and not hand gestures, but facial expressions.

I was curious how glasses could break hands

[solemn vale]

lol

[junior void]

set your normals again or smooth these vectors

[mystic marten]

I put the glasses in the armature head and it completely breaks the emotions idk if im putting it in the wrong place or-

[barren slate]

https://tenor.com/view/kel-omori-gif-26402311

[junior void]

edit mode, select the area and a bit more beyond it, right click smooth vectors

[desert elk]

what method did you use? manual, vrcfury, modular avatar, blender, did you follow any tutorials?

[barren slate]

Omg ilysmicky!! I couldn't find it on the Right Clicck, I foudn it on Mesh --> Normals --> Smooth Vertexes but ty either way!!

[junior void]

my bad, shitty memory

[mystic marten]

I just put it in myself and dragged it into the head armature

[barren slate]

All good <3

[desert elk]

can you show a screenshot? Full screenshot
that would show the glasses being attached and how the face breaks

[mystic marten]

Im not in it rn but this is the tutorial i used i can show later the project takes awhile to load back into after crashing

https://youtu.be/ihKe4qo7dPE?si=PZwgQgcKZJRyI0DO

[desert elk]

that shouldn't break it

it's a common method for manually attaching accessories. It would help seeing your project.

[white jungle]

Is Impostor generation broken for anybody else? Been trying to generate mine for 5 days. clicking the button makes the page refresh but nothing happens ;-; model is humanoid. I've tried multiple other avatars on my account, unable to generate Impostors on anything.

[tall dock]

Can I use blendshapes in Substance Painter? To like open the mouth and paint the texture and such?

[wanton turret]

hey, im fighting a unity bug regarding animations. I have zero idea whats going on this is the first time ive come across this. would anyone be down to call or something to help out?

[desert elk]

Describe it

cause nobody can help if you dont

[wanton turret]

While trying to animate with these prefabs it removes everything else from the "add properties" tab and im unable to animate anything else

everything pops back up when i delete the certian prefabs

ive never came across this and im stumped

heres a better video for whats happening

[digital ridge]

hello guys, does anybody got experince at uploading avs to vrc (always get the same error) and idk what to do, tried für 1 h for now

[wanton turret]

have u reset the blueprint ID i assume

[digital ridge]

it didnt had a blue print

like it was empty and also as i deleted it was not workin

can this maby stop it from uploading?

[digital ridge]

thats how the blueprint looks

[timber wharf]

@digital ridge show full failed upload one. always be concerned about the topmost red error. and blueprint id is the one sdk throws whenver smth went wrong, usually useless

[digital ridge]

[digital ridge]

are just the red ones causing it to fail right? Got any ideas?

[timber wharf]

doesnt look like aws timeout. ye, red ones and usually the first one, then its domino

[digital ridge]

it completely desnt work, idk if its the avatar but it never worked, is it bc of win 11?

[deep sphinx]

i dont have a pipeline ID by default and cannot generate one can anyone help me? or run into this issue?

[oak hound]

heya anyone here knows poyomi? or a different way to help me out with unity?
I made an alpha spritesheet to create a fire animation, so it mask out the galaxyu cube map i have set but I have tried doing animating the offset and it just tries to fly back to the original spot at the last frame instead of playing from the start again. I been testing with flipbook on the poyomi shader and all it does is an animation decal of the alpha

[digital ridge]

same here

[plush tendon]

how to fix Binding warning: Some generic clip(s) animate transforms that are already bound by a Humanoid avatar. These transforms can only be changed by Humanoid clips.

[desert elk]

it generates when you upload

did you upload?

[timber wharf]

@plush tendon you cannot animate generic transforms for bones that are part of humanoid rig, you can only animate humanoid transforms

[deep sphinx]

It wont let me upload because i dont have one

[timber wharf]

thats not how it works, you dont need one for initial upload

[desert elk]

what do you mean by that?

can you screenshot the error that tells you that?

[plush tendon]

what does that mean?

i need to move bones for a animations, there no way to do that?

[timber wharf]

@plush tendon there is, it must be done via humanoid transforms

[desert elk]

this says nothing about the id

something else is the problem

[digital ridge]

i got the exact same problem

[plush tendon]

what are humaniod trnasforms?

[shadow drift]

If you google the problem it comes up with basically everyone hvaing an issue with the pipeline ID and it won't let them generate a new ID

[timber wharf]

@plush tendon https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xOGc8CetyXs like watch this, i dont have any better reference but it shows how to animate fingers

[desert elk]

oh a new bug?

[shadow drift]

I don't think it's new cause you can find cases going back a long time but it does seem like there's a small suge of ppl experiencing it right now

[desert elk]

I see

it could also be a side effect of different errors though

[shadow drift]

yeah

[timber wharf]

@plush tendon humanoid transform based animation is a universal type that allows to reuse any animation to any humanoid rig, ie same dance can be performed by both slendeman and dwarf. while generic animations are made to move stuff x meters on some axes and would break when trying to port to smth with diff scale and proportions

transform itself is restricted type of transform that appliable to humanoid rig, ie you cant bend your lower leg left or right or move it 10m away, you can only bend it in knee.

[somber sequoia]

usually I set them before exporting the model. I duplicate parts, so there's one whole body, then various parts split up and posed differently, all joined together into the right meshes and exported together, specifically for painting. When doing clothing I setup one as the whole outfit, then individual parts moved off to the sides so they can be done separately, but will still end up as a single texture set.

[lament ivy]

how do i fix this? ive never seen this happen before

[somber sequoia]

better weight painting probably

it's not clear from that what's actually going on though

[lament ivy]

i was just working on materials and my arm broke somehow

it imports straight but if i just need to remake then i will

also inforced t-pose just fine when setting up humanoid rig

[old condor]

Im new to unity and I desperately need some guidance. Has anyone ever worked with the Triwave Protogen avatar? Its the only good free proto avatar that I could find but I cant get it to work

[desert elk]

what issues are you facing?

[snow goblet]

how can i reduce the size of this mask without reducing resolution? anything i could do with the format? i cant afford this extra MB...

[worthy urchin]

I haven't touched unity in almost a year but I want to clean up this avatar for a music video i'm working on. i have the sax parent constrained to the head properly and aim constrained to the left hand, but there's a problem. the axis on which the hand moves relative to the sax is an angle out from my mouth and through the sax instead of in line with the main body of the instrument. I think it's actually the blue axis coming out of SaxHolder in the screen shot?

I assume I need to make a new gameobject that's positioned at the bend in the neck of the sax pointing down its body and aim constrain that instead? but it's been so long i remember that the order of steps to make that work was super specific and i don't at all remember what that order actually was. and i'm fuzzy on details like if it should be a parent, child, or even sibling of the sax model object under the saxholder. how do I do this without breaking it lol?

[grim valley]

im kitbashing rn (cuz thats all i can do :D lol) and i wanna try to make a well optimized avi, but these shirts and shit are just so large in tris and bones. is there no way to reduce it without blender?

[timid kite]

whats the difference between adjusting positions in transforms and inside the script itself? rn trying to make a collider

[desert elk]

There's a paid tool for Unity, but I don't know how good it is, cause I never used it myself

https://markcreator.gumroad.com/l/Polytool

this one

[grim valley]

ill check it out

i just did a simply decimation and it worked perfectly

[somber sequoia]

one is the game object and one is the physbone collider.

Sometimes you have multiple things on a game object and want to move them all together

[timid kite]

so if its just one thing then doesnt matter?

[somber sequoia]

depends on what you want to do with it. If nothing else, then sure, probably doesn't matter.

[odd shale]

"hey, ive been trying to upload avatars but for some reason when i upload them and it gets to the end, it doesnt finish or say it uploaded, it just resets like nothing happened and my avatar doesnt upload, has anyone had this issue before or know what could be the source of the problem?

[somber sequoia]

are there no messages in the console?

[odd shale]

ye no messages

[somber sequoia]

strange

[odd shale]

ye ik

and im genuinly confused

[astral atlas]

I havea blush system so if you touch multiple spots the model blushes using a "on enter" contact. For some reason others cant touch them ingame though, works fine in unity. Yes, "others interact" is enabled for them. Not sure why it's not working.

[flint lichen]

How would i go about making a custom fist pose?

[somber meadow]

Do you have a yellow handshake icon when you view their nameplate

[placid sage]

im trying to test my avatar and it keeps doing this

[somber sequoia]

look in the console for detailed errors

[somber sequoia]

is that the only error?

[astral atlas]

All other contacts the model has works, yes.

[somber sequoia]

post the first 2-3 errors, at the top. Ideally in a way that's not so blurry so they can actually be read.

[somber sequoia]

that's the first error? huh, how unhelpful

[placid sage]

doing the best i can man, im tryna help a friend lol

[somber sequoia]

yeah unfortunately this message is still not useful

[somber meadow]

Show the receiver component and the animator logic

[supple cloud]

i wanna learn how to do the 2d lip sync with 3d model

[night ember]

I mean either just model it or use a sprite sheet

[supple cloud]

just the model i have the blendshapes (diffrent face trangles)

[ancient hawk]

sometimes it says that without notifying you that you have missing scripts in your files that are preventing it from being uploaded

[supple cloud]

i'm doing ragatha

[ancient hawk]

also just trying to put attention towards this but does anyone know what could be causing this issue for my friend?

console says nothing, once the bar gets to the end everything on the screen just goes away like he didnt even try uploading it yet

[astral atlas]

It works when tested in unity.

[somber meadow]

show the animator graph

[astral atlas]

Nothing fancy

[somber meadow]

that's the animation file

I mean the graph that transitions different animator states

[astral atlas]

The FX layer links?

[somber meadow]

most likely

is this toggle done through something automated like vrcfury?

[astral atlas]

The 2nd is just a enable toggle that then lets the 1st pic build up the effect the more its touched.

I used the same setup I did for my spank contact but this one uses multiple contacts that can build its para, not limited to 1

unless vrc itself doesnt allow multiple contacts to share the same parma

Which would be dumb.

[somber meadow]

that's what I'm leading to believe

[astral atlas]

ill just upload with only 1 contacts in and see if it works. hope vrc isnt that limited.

[somber sequoia]

got enough disk space?

[ancient hawk]

@odd shale

[odd shale]

?

[odd shale]

ye i do

[astral atlas]

So vrc doesnt support multiple contacts driving 1 parma -_- I gotta make 15 layers for this 1 effect. WOOO

[somber sequoia]

direct blendtrees to the rescue

[astral atlas]

it's not as simple as a 0 to 100, the anim does times specific for a soft blend when it scales up.

[somber meadow]

yeah I think you could make up some optimized method of it, but it sucks that they don't have a simple "add" function instead them all being a replace

[astral atlas]

ill just dup the layers and name per contact but all use the same anim and default on bool. so same parma cost but a lot more layers to setup. Should work in that way in theory.

[arctic ginkgo]

you absolutely do not need 15 layers for 1 effect. what are you trying to do with the contacts? i'm sure we can help you condense your layers

[odd shale]

@somber sequoia i see smth in console now

[arctic ginkgo]

you can almost always use Direct Blendtrees (DBTs) and Animated Animator Parameters (AAPs) to get these sorts of things done

[somber sequoia]

paste the first 2-3 errors if you want help, no need to report on this otherwise.

certainly not by pinging me.

[odd shale]

uh

sure my bad

didnt think that was a issue since ur not a mod or anything

there

[wispy moon]

is there anything that would cause 2 meshes that have the same material to be shaded differently in a light gradient? (IE: replaced arm bit is darker in some shadows)

[somber sequoia]

put the same object in the "anchor override" in the mesh renderer.
