#avatar-help message

[icy thorn]

So I still can’t upload it

[somber sequoia]

what happens now?

[icy thorn]

I still can’t find the missing script

[somber sequoia]

ah well you'll have to either find it or install the missing requirement

[icy thorn]

Ok

[somber sequoia]

better to install the requirement, really

[icy thorn]

Well that’s the thing idk what’s missing so I can’t install it

[somber sequoia]

finding the script is probably not going to tell you much either. But if you post the error message in here, maybe there's a clue

[icy thorn]

Now it says loaded data for a avatar we do not own clearing blueprint id

[somber sequoia]

that's a side-effect error, you want to look at the first few, at the top

well probably - unless you actually do have a bad blueprint ID in there

[icy thorn]

See idk where to check all of this stuff but besides that side error there is none

[somber sequoia]

in the console window

[icy thorn]

Ok

I think I found the missing script

It says missing mono script
The associated script can not be loaded please fix any compile errors and assign a valid script

[somber sequoia]

sounds normal

[tired garnet]

Where would I go to find people to help me upload an avi cause I don't have a PC but have the files

[icy thorn]

All the missing script errors were sps

But it still won’t go up and publish

[somber sequoia]

commission people at the vrc traders discord, link is in #1204490664637890580 - but be aware that file sharing is generally not allowed by the terms of service of most avatar packages, and you really don't want to be sharing your account details

[tired garnet]

Ah ok

[icy thorn]

Yo I’m pretty sure I just found out why it won’t upload

It says avatars from 2022 2023 2024 are out dated and it’s from 2022

[solid grail]

hey so im makin an asset that's meant to be added via avatar 3.0 manager, do i need to include a base layer in the fx controller to be merged?

i'd figure no due to the fact that its not supposed to be a standalone fx controller, and is just meant to be merged onto a main one

[torpid sedge]

When people see my imposter it’s just t posing and stuck in one place. It doesn’t move and my voice comes from the imposter. I’ve reloaded the avatar, regenerated the imposter several times and nothing has fixed it. Any help please?

[obtuse dragon]

I recently created a tailwag animation for my avatar to animate a few bones in the tail when receiving headpats with avatar dynamics. The tail is limp otherwise, and hangs straight down. When I test it in Unity, after the looping animation finishes, it returns to this limp state after the exit time of the animation state. But in VRChat it gets stuck, completely stiff at the end of the loop (it's still grabbable, but always returns to this stuck position).
I do have an empty animation in the any state in the layer, but doesn't seem to fix the issue.
Is there anything I can do this fix this?

[somber sequoia]

what?

[hexed sonnet]

Help what issues i have?

[hard quest]

They dont mean much just unity crying out, any other errors?

[somber sequoia]

exporting a fbx isn't really going to go well - what are you trying to do exactly?

[obtuse flicker]

So I want to be able to change the color of the rim lighting with a toggle. The question I have is since I want it to transition from the color that's previously chosen to the chosen color smoothly, is there a way to do that without making a ton of animations. I'm guessing no but yknow doesn't hurt to ask

[hard quest]

https://youtu.be/EkVlkrQ6ypE?si=3xGcDEJE_p5Pag9P
Same principle just with rim lighting

[obtuse flicker]

Radial menu is what I was hoping to avoid tbh

I know how to use it it's just not the way I want to do it

Actually that gives me an idea

[obtuse flicker]

The way the rim lighting works I wouldn't even be able to do that

[idle hawk]

Hi
I'm trying to set the AFK motion in the expression menu to a toggle including the intro ,loop, and outro anima
does anyone knows how to do it exactly?
can't seem to setup the correct state machine for it...
also the only parts moving are my face expressions and other parts like wings flapping and tail swaying(the blendshape parts ig?)
but my body isn't doing the pose

am quite new to this so if anyone can help me out with screenshare or some screenshots will be appreciated

[arctic ginkgo]

yeah, you can set it up with a 1D blendtree and then use float smoothing

[timber wharf]

@idle hawk FX layer does everything but humanoid bones. overriding humanoid animation is a work for action layer.

[untold escarp]

Hello! I was wondering if anyone knows enough would anyone here be able to help me set up a avi? I dont know enough about it to do it properly cause it keeps only being pc visible when i do try uploading it myself

[obtuse flicker]

Are you switching the build to Android and uploading there as well?

[untold escarp]

I think i did yeah, but when i go into vrchat it only shows the microsoft window and my quest friends cant see my skin nor anyone that isn't pc

(I started vr maby 7 or 8 days ago)

[obtuse flicker]

Do you mean on the avatar page it only has Windows compatible?

[untold escarp]

One sec lemme take a pic

[idle hawk]

do you have a guide on how to add it into the action layer?
don't really wanna break the action layer

[obtuse flicker]

This means the Android version has not been uploaded

[untold escarp]

Crap, i dont know how to do any of this stuff

The only working skins i have were installed for me by the owner of the skins

[obtuse flicker]

Do you have the Unity project yourself?

[untold escarp]

Yeah I've got the project and the file that has the avi stuff but i dont know how to do any of the things besides basically past the obvious thing in

Paste*

[obtuse flicker]

Near the bottom right of the VRChat SDK page you can change the build

[untold escarp]

Ye that's the thingy i clicked on, but it still didnt work for android

[unique stirrup]

Having a problem with the VRCSDK. When opening the SDK window, the Builder and Content Manager tabs are greyed out. And before anyone asks, yes, Im logged in. It's on the Builder tab right off the bat. The rest of it seems to not get greyed out once Ive uploaded a project, but Id love to not do that every time I load Unity.

[untold escarp]

If its possible to find anyone who might be able to set it up for me that'd be great, cause i dont understand any of the stuff it wants me to do

[untold escarp]

If anyone offere that i mean

[hexed gulch]

Just wondering Im trying to find an app or something on my pc(windows 11/10) to create and model avatars that I can upload,I have no idea what app to use

[tame cave]

Does anyone know how to fix this? when i start play mode it looks like this

[hard quest]

Its your FX controller, it's toggling blendshaps for the original character outfit

[tame cave]

I don't know how to handle that, I'm a beginner

this???

[hard quest]

Most of us use blender to do from scratch/kitbash models, standalone program can be like void studio

[hard quest]

Do you have other outfits or is this the only one on this model?

[tame cave]

this is the only

ok it was what you said

this model had default clothes, just remove it from the fx and now it works

thank you

[hard quest]

If you remove the fx it may break your face gestures so I would advise keeping it and toggling the parameters to off by default or go into the fx controller and manually remove them but thats abit more complicated

[tame cave]

yeah, that happened hehe

[tame cave]

I don't know how to do that

[hard quest]

Same place u found this if you keep scrolling down you'll see parameters, press on the box and it will highlight where it is in your assets and then press on that menu, go through the window that pops up on the inspector and untick boxes for default and active for your clothing

[hard quest]

Was it like that by default? If so tick them all, we do bools different 😆

[versed coyote]

Do anyone know how to use the niko 4d

[spark walrus]

Hey there! So I'm new to Unity and Blender, and I need help optimizing my avatar, as well as other things. I have everything I need, and I have a basic understanding of Unity and Blender, but I still need some help. Is anyone willing to add me so that we can call and I can screenshare so that you can tell me what to do? And I don't mind if it's multiple people. Thanks!

Also, I'm using Unity 2022.3.22 and Blender 3.4

[tame cave]

Do I put them all in default?

[hard quest]

Yes

[turbid monolith]

My GoGo Loco parameters and expressions say there are scripts missing with this error msg. THis has never happened to me before and I am not sure what is going on

[somber sequoia]

Did you not install VRC Fury but need to?

[west summit]

I still need to do that to my Milltina I just kept the original toggles on to change it to normal. It’s a mess

[tame cave]

I have copied the parameters of the milltina kisekae to solve it KAGSDJGAJHDS

[turbid monolith]

Whats that?

[somber sequoia]

check the list of requirements for your avatar, install them all. Often people use VRCFury to install gogo loco these days

[west summit]

Also make sure it’s the newer version like 1.0.1? I think idk I went to update it when the new one came out and my hands were all bent backwards but if you just got the base it should be good

[turbid monolith]

Ohh I just used to GoGo Loco unity package

[tame cave]

yes that's the one i'm using

[west summit]

Bless. I worked like 1 hour on a new outfit, never play mode tested and got in game to find my hands all out of wack from not fixing the fx for hands

[somber sequoia]

then you have to put its animators into the right slots. The documentation should describe this.

[tame cave]

XDDDD

[west summit]

Idk your knowledge of blender or what outfits you’re using but Milltina is a pain for some things to fit without major clipping. Especially since the updated version came out. Some assets are updated and some aren’t. I hardly use her now but I’ve tried a few new outfits here and there but airi is the one I’ve sunk most time into recently

[turbid monolith]

Yes but the literal scripts of it are msising

[somber sequoia]

I'm not sure what that is that you clicked on that'd be missing scripts, GogoLoco does not include any scripts at all

unless you're somehow missing part of the VRC SDK, do you have errors in the console?

[turbid monolith]

Yes

i am issing the default VRC expressions menui

sorry how can I fix this? 😭

[somber sequoia]

Reinstall the SDK perhaps, or fix whatever error is in your console. Feel free to post the first 2-3 here.

[turbid monolith]

Ahh I see the problem I think, my SDK wasnt updated in a WIHLE

should I migrate to 2022?

[somber sequoia]

Unity? Yes, absolutely. You must if you want to use the current SDK

[turbid monolith]

Okay got it!

Ty!

[nocturne shell]

Hi, I won't break any ToS and I just recently started to look on some websites for some free avatars I could upload into my profile. If I accidentally upload an avatar I found for free but actually was not meant to be free, that it's a leak, do I risk anything ?

[worn kiln]

usually not straight but if people report you, you may get moderated.

[nocturne shell]

risking a ban ?

So now I'm like "oh shit this shit can happen" and I'm now paranoiac of any download

[worn kiln]

unless you upload by unauthorised way, its just temp ban so not that last long. (if really something)

that website is full of virus, better never use it at all.

use booth/gamroad/jinxy kind of website which listed under #1139216499123437668 's pin post.

[nocturne shell]

oooh ty ! ill look into that ^^

[mystic marten]

Where do you put physbones on hairs in unity? I keep putting them on and it makes the hair not stay on the head it just moves detached from the head

[junior void]

Usually on the root. If your hair is not attached to the head, its likely not parented to the head bone (but instead perhaps its under the main avatar, which makes it just hover above you loosely)

[jade oracle]

hey dose anyone know how to help me with this??

[somber sequoia]

Don't have a mesh object with the same name as a humanoid bone. In this case, Head.

[jade oracle]

do you how i can fix it??

[somber sequoia]

rename the head mesh object in blender or similar

probably can in Unity too. I'm not sure of your workflow though.

[jade oracle]

ohhhh ok

[waxen smelt]

Were would I find the avatar file

[somber sequoia]

Definitely under Assets, but... what's an avatar file? Are you looking for the model file?

[waxen smelt]

Ya

And ya what do I click on

[heady oracle]

If you go in unity, and click on your avatar, there is "select" the prefab at the top. That's your fbx

Does anyone know how these problems occur? I was upgrading my vrcsdk to 3.8.1 from 3.7.x
I've tried reinstalling all modules and yes I do have vrcfury at latest.

[waxen smelt]

I did but this shows up

[heady oracle]

you clicked this Select button, right? and it points to an fbx in the Project window?

u can click prefab too

[waxen smelt]

No like I’m trying to find the avatar in the zip and I can’t

[heady oracle]

it's likely ending in .fbx in the file

[night ember]

whered you get it

[somber sequoia]

.asset file... someone prefab'd that in a weird way. If you paid for it, I'd try to request a proper model file from the creator.

[waxen smelt]

OK

[grim hedge]

Question

-# [As someone who has never used a camera component on an avatar before]

• If I set a camera to render only "PlayerLocal", is that based on the avatar? Or the client? I want to render the camera to a render texture with only the avatar its attached to for use in a material elsewhere, but I'm a bit fuzzy on if the layers are 1:1 between avatars and worlds.

[deft laurel]

Y’all I can’t change out of my avi it keeps making my screen black cant do anything to change it y’all know anything??

[kindred umbra]

I need help finding where this is pinging from, i cannot find it for the life of me ;-;

[merry kayak]

Close vrchat and change your current avatar on the website and then log back in

[deft laurel]

Thank you I’ll try it!!

[night nexus]

Does anyone know if there's a known issue where sliders & toggles will be reset upon interacting with objects or entering another world? I've been getting a couple reports from people that some body sliders I have set up are getting reset even though the params are set to "Saved" in Unity.

I can't seem to replicate it, but they said it could be a Windows 11 issue, and I'm using 10. My suspicions are that it could have something to do with the toggle I have set up which sets the float values for all of the sliders to 1 when activated.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

[vale flicker]

been fighting this for literal days. about to pull my hair out. tried all the recommended fixes, anyone have any thoughts?

[somber sequoia]

not enough information here to go on. If there are more errors, post the first 2-3 instead.

[frigid sun]

How can you make a functional light for quest? I've seen it happen before, but idk how to replicate

[night ember]

Lights arent allowed on quest

[frigid sun]

Maybe a particle system that's only rendering impact particles...

[distant nimbus]

how can i see my avatars light count on unity? and how am i able to find where the light is coming from.. my avatar light count needs to be 0-1, and it has 24

[night ember]

Lights arent allowed entirely

[night ember]

Just search the specific component name

When typing the full name of the component all the objects with the component show up

[distant nimbus]

so.. id just search "light" in my hierarchy?

[night ember]

Probably?

Idk the component name off the top of my head

[distant nimbus]

all that shows up is directional light.. i dont think its that

OH lol i found it, ty!

[dire dust]

Hold on. Bih-Z_b has a point. I have an avatar that can let Quest user see in the dark. Here's a screenshot of me using such a feature on quest.

[stable isle]

heya, so i lost the files to my avatar a few weeks ago, due to a power surge that shorted my SSD containing my files. Is there a way to get my avatar files back? I'm mostly looking for textures & such

[dire dust]

Whatever the case may be. While I don't have the answer I wouldn't give up searching for an answer since a method does exist using something even if it isn't a "light"

[somber sequoia]

if you didn't personally make a backup, nope, no way.

[stable isle]

crap....i made backups of everything....in january....

but i didn't for projects made after....

[somber sequoia]

hey everyone! make backups! On a different drive, ideally on a different computer in a different location

[dire dust]

Or a cloud storage

[somber sequoia]

"the cloud" is just somebody else's computer.

[dire dust]

True, but your wording may confuse people into investing in another computer.

[somber sequoia]

Okay then I'll make sure to clarify that "a different computer" could be "someone else's computer in a data center".

[dire dust]

👌

[mental creek]

So I was working on a avatar for myself and for some reason when I built and tested the avatar, the entire avatar is backwards in vrchat but in unity and blender it is perfectly fine even the bones are named correctly
I even spun the avatar 180 in unity and tested it again but it was still backwards
If someone could assist me, I would greatly appreciate it!
Gonna keep searching for solutions as well
-# also warning this is only my 2nd avatar I made from scratch so not that advanced ^^'

[somber sequoia]

in blender which way is it facing?

[mental creek]

-y axis

[somber sequoia]

ok good - and you applied all transforms?

on all objects, mesh and armature?

[mental creek]

have a friend in call they said it MIGHT be because I didnt apply the transforms
🧍
if it isnt that ill get back to you

[somber sequoia]

yeah definitely do that before exporting

[mental creek]

Tried that and it wasn't that aswell

jsut to show what it looks like in vr vs blender aswell

[somber sequoia]

there's not really much info you can get from these kinds of pics though

[mental creek]

sorry

but yeah if there is anything else that could be the problem ill try it but if not thanks for the help ^^

[somber sequoia]

maybe check the bone roll on the humanoid bones? Mostly that should be 0. Maybe check the FBX import settings, there's a "bake axis conversion" option I use for world props but not for avatars

[dapper echo]

I want to make a funny toggle for the eyes, how do I make it so the animator overrides them for this toggle?

[somber sequoia]

this is what you use to "take over" animation of something VRChat normally manages:
https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/state-behaviors#animator-tracking-control

[hot heron]

I tried uploading my avatar to the game after getting the 1 hour ingame playtime ach, and it still won't let me! Help?

[somber sequoia]

are you still a Vistor?

[hot heron]

how do i tell?

[somber sequoia]

should be listed in your profile

[hot heron]

ok

I dont see visitor in my prof

[somber sequoia]

New User?

[hot heron]

Oh nbvm

Nmb

nvm

[somber sequoia]

?

[hot heron]

I see visitor now

[somber sequoia]

yeah that's why then.

[hot heron]

ok

How much longer do I wait?

[somber sequoia]

?upload

[flat musk]

You must obtain at least "New User" Trust Rank in our Trust and Safety system in order to upload content. You can get this by just spending a few hours in VRChat, hop some worlds, and make some friends. Give it some time and you'll be able to upload content in no time.

As an aside, you must have a VRChat account to upload content. That means you can't use a Steam account, Oculus account, or Viveport account to upload content like worlds or avatars.

Source: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/frequently-asked-questions

[hot heron]

How long does that take? Hours??

[somber sequoia]

🤷‍♂️

[hot heron]

ok ty

[dire dust]

There's no concrete answer since doing different things in VRC rewards different amount of points towards the next rank. Of course, this is set in place to avoid visitor users from spamming avatars/world uploads.

[dapper echo]

Okay, linking me to a page doesn't really help much, I have a hard time trying to understand everything that's on there. Can someone just tell me directly what I can do to override the default angle of the eyes?

[somber sequoia]

you probably don't want layer control here, you probably want tracking control.
enter -> buffer -> take over via tracking control -> your animation here -> restore tracking control -> exit

[paper plank]

hiya chat!! im not sure what im doing, i was trying to follow a youtube tutorial on porting vroid avatars to vrchat.. but i sooorta got lost..

[spark walrus]

If you have uploaded it to the game you can recover the files from your avatar file in the vrchat windows player app data folder, though im sure explaining how to do that is against the rules so you may have to dm me for an explanation . Or you can try using Recuva on the disk if you have not formatted or overwritten it (if it still functions)

[dapper echo]

It not working. TwT

[sturdy kestrel]

has anyone tried making physics for a specific weapon? (flail)

im trying to get the ideal physbone setup for a heavy but swingable chain, and i've had no luck so far :(

[spark walrus]

Have you adjusted your eyes on the avatar descriptor ?

[dapper echo]

I don't think I'm able to adjust the left and right eyes separately.

[ornate stump]

You can.

[dapper echo]

Nvm, I just unlinked them.

[spark walrus]

No you may need to do that in blender, or maybe unity rig menu and just make break it (turns red) But if you're trying to make it a toggle then you may have to disable descriptor eye movement

[trim drum]

Can someone help make me a blue angels avatar?

[bold quail]

Im getting a weird error when i try to upload my avatar can anyone help?

[trim drum]

@bold quail

Do you charge for avatar making?

[bold quail]

I'm not good at making it at all, I can barely manage to make my own. Im super slow at it im just learning.

[trim drum]

Ok

[regal sail]

My model is doing something weird. Pc players can't see anything but black on my model. No matter what world I go to. Quest is the 1st image pc is the 2nd

[radiant cape]

how can i get my avatar in prismic's

[ornate stump]

You will have to explain your material settings.

[trim drum]

Can someone help make me a avatar please?

[somber sequoia]

go to the VRC Traders discord if you want to commission someone, you'll get scammers around here.

[jolly kernel]

I need help, I can't upload my avatar to my account and I only get this error in the console.

When I try to upload an avatar it keeps loading and doesn't upload

[spark walrus]

You may need to update your SDK, on the new one theres a dialogue that confirms you own the copyright for whatever you're uploading.

Whoops forgot to mention @jolly kernel

[lilac musk]

Make them public and get people to use them. The more popular a public avatar is, the more likely it will get added to the list that worlds like Prismic use. Could also upload a world with avatars in it. Seems to get them on it fast (at least from my experience).

[jolly kernel]

@spark walrus Thanks for the help, but I already have the SDK updated to 3.8.1 and I don't think it's because of the Unity version, since it's 2022.3.22f1

[spark walrus]

Did you ever see the comfirmation though?

[jolly kernel]

Yes, I've been working in Unity for a while now, and even now the panel isn't loading when I reopen the project

@spark walrus I don't know what's happening

[spark walrus]

check ur alerts makes sure nothing there breaks it

[somber sequoia]

that often happens if there are script compile errors - check in the console, probably one in there won't go away when you clear

[jolly kernel]

The same thing happens to me when I upload an avatar and it keeps loading @spark walrus @somber sequoia

[spark walrus]

the error below that is a pretty big deal

[somber sequoia]

4 errors, you've showed only two - it helps to look at the first two errors.

[spark walrus]

can break uploads completely sometimes

[somber sequoia]

these seem like the networking ones that some Windows users say are fixed by disabling IPv6

[jolly kernel]

@somber sequoia

[somber sequoia]

hah, that's amusingly not helpful

[spark walrus]

🤔 dont think ive seen that one before

First tip i can offer is checking for missing scripts anywhere on the avatar.

[somber sequoia]

nah, you'd see an error about that

[jolly kernel]

I will try

[spark walrus]

Id get hierarchy plus from hai helps you see anything attached to the avatar.

But my first helpful tip, Hold Alt, Close the tree of the avatar, Hold Alt again and open it and it will expand all the children

[frank grove]

Where do I go to ask about certain avatars

[somber sequoia]

certain?

[frank grove]

Like specific types

[spark walrus]

Select the first thing and hold ur down arrow and pay attention to what flashes in your inspector and see if there is anything there

[frank grove]

I’m looking for castlevania avatars

[somber sequoia]

maybe the specific creator's discord?

[frank grove]

Dying bred..

[somber sequoia]

oh, try #1138520828556890214

[frank grove]

Ty!

[jolly kernel]

Now that you mention it, within the VRChat game it takes a little while to log in, in Unity it took a while for the panel to load with login and for it to load the code and the avatar profile.

[fallen wave]

Can you make a local contact reciever effect a synced network parameter so if it triggers locally it will update for everyone?

[somber sequoia]

sure

[jolly kernel]

Now all this comes out, what a disaster

[somber sequoia]

yeah that all looks like networking issues

[jolly kernel]

Do you think it's something with the VRChat server or my connection?

[somber sequoia]

no idea from here, sorry

I haven't had this and also I don't use Windows, so I'm not going to be of much help

[jolly kernel]

thanks for help too

[tender marsh]

I need help, I made a few models on Vroid and have been looking at a few tutorials and asked a friend for help on uploading to VR Chat, after I put the file into Unity it doesn't show anything but the model, and no rigs either.

[static girder]

im here to help with anxiety

but plz help her

[nocturne tendon]

does anyone know anything about parenting a camera to a head bone of a generic rigged avatar for like a custom first-person view?

[ornate stump]

Follow this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRAnDMUbWt8

[ornate stump]

Someone might know. You have to be more specific on your question.

[nocturne tendon]

so, yk how usually the viewpoint for a generic avatar is above the model? well, i wanna make a toggle as to where there's a first person perspective (for only PC).

My friend said all I have to do is right click the head bone, add a camera, and do an animation of toggling the gameobject (with the camera component) off, and another for it being toggled on

so like, i want the toggle to be set up in a way like when you toggle the first person view back off, it reverts back to the vrchat avatar descripter viewpoint

he didnt provide that much context when he said it would go back to the normal view, idk what he meant when he said when 'the camera is off'

[ornate stump]

usually the viewpoint for a generic avatar is above the model
This part is false. You have to set view point position in avatar descriptor.

[tender marsh]

Yeah, looked at this and I still got nothing, the model is just by itself and there's nothing else

[somber sequoia]

what else are you expecting?

[ornate stump]

How much did you follow the video?

[nocturne tendon]

oh, well i still wanna figure out the viewpoint

well i mean not that-

UGH- okay i get it, i MEANT i still wanna figure out how to do the first person view toggle

[ornate stump]

Disabling the camera would just make it revert back to vrc camera. You have to make it like other toggle.

[nocturne tendon]

you mean it'll revert it back to the descripter viewpoint?

cause thats what i'm wanting to do

[nocturne tendon]

a toggle where i turn it on, its first person, i turn it off, it reverts back to this view

[ornate stump]

It's just the new camera overlaying on top of the vrc camera, you disabling it would just stop the camera from working and show vrc camera instead.

[tender marsh]

I watched the whole thing and kept looking around for errors I could have made

[ornate stump]

Did you do what the video telling you?

[tender marsh]

Yes

[ornate stump]

So what do you have now?

[cedar echo]

wtf fuck does this mean

[ornate stump]

You had Neck bone and also a mesh name Neck. You must not have object with same name in same fbx file.

[cedar echo]

Oh, kind of wish they would name it a bit better so it's kind of more understandable
But thank you

God damn it I just tried to fix it and I only exported the goddamn neck instead

Finally It might work

[west kestrel]

working on a avatar and getting the bounding box is too big issue, only problem is that theres no bounding box that big. went through all meshes on avi and none are big enough

any help?

[weak smelt]

im making a mamagen avatar that has a stomach slider but when i put a shirt on it the stomach phases through the shirt when i turn the slider up

Is there a way to make the shirt stretch or somethig?

[somber sequoia]

You'd need the same blendshape on the shirt. Make it in Blender if it doesn't exist

[ashen crane]

why is it that when i export an object w blendshapes as an fbx and import it to unity, it imports it but w/ a blendshape set to the default? and yes it does the same thing when i import it back into blender (left is normal in blender, right is imported into unity)

[somber sequoia]

possibly in the "Model" tab in the Inspector for the model file, uncheck "Import Deform Percent"

[ashen crane]

nope, still gives me the same thing

[somber sequoia]

ah, maybe I'm not sure what you mean then

[ashen crane]

ok so when i import the object (left picture) as an fbx, it turns the model into (right picture)

wait no i mean EXPORT

when i EXPORT it

as an fbx

[somber sequoia]

unapplied transforms? non-default armature pose?

shape keys not at 0?

[ashen crane]

i dont think so, the modification is a blendshape

all of em are set to 0

[somber sequoia]

that's probably all I've got without looking at the actual file

[ashen crane]

what is really weird is that another object which is the exact same but mirrored doesnt have that problem

alr so i found a workaround nvm

[tidal void]

What could be the reason for a decal to show mirrored/duplicated when I add it to my body? I can't seem to make a simple tattoo addition to work 😦

[somber sequoia]

what's your UV map look like?

[tidal void]

I have no idea on how to check it 😅

[somber sequoia]

Blender or similar. Possibly your body is mirrored in the UV map so if you apply something to one side, it also applies to the other.

[rustic peak]

hi im trying to use youtube for help, but my app layout is not the same would someone be able to help me with blender?

[somber sequoia]

can you be specific?

[tidal void]

Nothing I can fix on Unity I suppose?

[rustic peak]

i'm trying to import hair and cannot find the import button (this is my first time trying to make an avatar)

[somber sequoia]

I don't know what is wrong so can't really tell you what to fix, I was making a suggestion on a thing to check, that's all.

[somber sequoia]

in Blender? File menu

[tardy nymph]

does this matter?

i checked most of the bones (except intentionally not weighted ones)

[ornate stump]

It's some vertices didn't get weight painted.

[tardy nymph]

i fixed that but

sounds simple BUT its like on the blender

[ornate stump]

Check rigconfiguration menu in unity.

[still shuttle]

You gotta actually open the configuration window lol. When you click on your fbx, under the option to make it humanoid, you can configure it

Make sure your inspector window isn't locked first tho

[tardy nymph]

ah...

it broke

[still shuttle]

There now you can configure it properly

[tardy nymph]

i don't think that is the main issue here

i think i have to fix it in blender

[still shuttle]

Place the bones in their respected categories and then if it still looks red, hit apply T pose

[ornate stump]

That's the menu where you have to fix.

[still shuttle]

Oh hey look what it says in big red letters

"Character is not in t pose"

[tardy nymph]

yes!!!!

[still shuttle]

Don't forget to hit "apply" and then "done"

[tardy nymph]

don't worry i saw a big window that has a "Apply" button

i pressed apply

also finally

how do i add alpha to the textures..?

[ornate stump]

It's transparency in image editor app.

[copper carbon]

how can i make my avatar have an imposter on quest?
my current fallback is really bad (its custom and im bad at optimising) and i would rather people see an imposter instead of my fallback

[tardy nymph]

paint dot net says "its transparent"

but unity finds no transparent texture

[copper carbon]

there is an option in the image inside of unity called "alpha is transparency"

[ornate stump]

Opacity is an inverse of transparency.

[tardy nymph]

still the texture is kinda... uhhh

whack

[ornate stump]

You rather mean "material". That you have to set material render as transparent instead opaque.

[tardy nymph]

it won't let me..

[ornate stump]

Create new material and replace it on your model.

[tidal void]

How does one record/animate HSV properties?

I want to animate each of them individually, but setting it as animated and trying to record changes in an animation doesn't seem to work.

What am I doing wrong?

[ornate stump]

You haven't clicked on record.

[tidal void]

I know, that's just that screenshot. It doesn't record the changes even if enabled

[ornate stump]

Then you have to select the object in the scene to record material animation. You can't select material from asset to record.

[tidal void]

Sorry, how exactly do you mean?

I click record > I select the object in the scene > I go to the material and try to make changes to the color properties?

Not doing anything still

[ornate stump]

You select the object in the scene that has the material on it and you will see material properties below the mesh renderer in the inspector.

[tidal void]

I am accessing the material properties through the object in the scene itself all this time, not from the material asset directly

[ornate stump]

Try screenshot it why you're trying to change the propery again.

[tidal void]

https://streamable.com/kb59hy

Short clip

[ornate stump]

You double clicked on the material slot and that instead will select material from asset. You have to scroll down in the inspector when you select the object.

[tidal void]

OH

I see it now!

Thank you so much!

[drifting coral]

so I'm a newb to uploading avis so i was wondering if anyone could show me how to upload to quest? (i already know how to do PC)

[ornate stump]

https://youtu.be/rRAnDMUbWt8?t=645

[arctic ginkgo]

I'm having an issue where changing the value of a parameter is not changing the animation. However, this isssue is ONLY happening in VRChat. The issue is not present when testing using gesture manager.

I'm not really sure how to solve this problem when it does not appear in Unity..

In particular what I'm attempting to animate are:

• Detail normal map size (the number next to it that changes how much it affects normals)
• Detail normal map texture scale
  This is on the shader VRChat/Mobile/Toon Standard
  Same avatar uploaded to all platforms
  I am not using VRCFury or any similar tools that change the avatar on build

I'm just feeling really stuck since I can't recreate the issue inside of the Unity Editor :/

wait nvm i just realized some other toggle is affecting it and I was unaware 😅

now i should be able to reproduce in unity 🤞

all good now 👍

[rigid pine]

need help uploading my first avatar, im a complete beginner

dms open

[sudden violet]

You'll get scammers in your DMs, giving you a heads up.

[rigid pine]

scamming me of what, im not looking for ppl to upload it for me, just need help on how can i uplaod it for myself

[surreal salmon]

Can confirm there's multiple scams. Some will try to teatch u for money. That kinda info is usually given freely

In reality they don't

[surreal salmon]

If u need somone to walk u through it I can in 7 hrs however u should be able to get help before then

Make sure u have vrc fury installed to your creator companion

Lotta models use it

[jovial estuary]

Where can I test my avatar that I created?\

[ornate stump]

In vrchat.

[jovial estuary]

honestly, I've been trying to upload my vrm model to vr chat for 2 days, and I'm literally getting nothing. There are constant errors, and I literally bought a model that gave me a single vrm file.

[jovial estuary]

I got this notification, but when I log in to VR chat, my published avatar is nowhere to be found

[ornate stump]

vrm file can't directly be used in vrchat. It has converter addon for unity, but doesn't work reliably. Your better option is to convert vrm into fbx with blender and cat plugin.

[ornate stump]

That's for testing, not public. It would show your test avatar in the Other avatar category.

[jovial estuary]

Why is she white

[ornate stump]

Incorrect material settings.

[jovial estuary]

how fix that

[ornate stump]

Find material and assign texture.

[iron dove]

Hi guys, how do I change skin color without using photoshop?

[somber sequoia]

you can try a hue shift if your shader supports it, but otherwise... a different paint program maybe?

[junior void]

krita can open psd files and is free

[iron dove]

I have csp, does that work?

[junior void]

no idea, try

[idle hawk]

i set up an facial expression when my button toggles and
using faceemo just disables the whole fxlayer thing?(i'm not sure if this is the situation)
anyone knows how to fix it?

[barren wharf]

how do i get rid of this?

i did an edit in blender and now this is here

[somber sequoia]

what is it though?

[barren wharf]

wdym

it's a hoodie?

idk where that came from

[somber sequoia]

no I can see the hoodie, but can't tell what the black part is, if that's what you're trying to get rid of

[barren wharf]

yes im trying to get rid of the black mb

the untextured part

[arctic ginkgo]

I've got an issue with blender, I'm trying to sculpts but the tools that are supposed to add/remove depth just aren't doing it (draw, layer, etc) does anyone know what might be going wrong? The other tools work just fine

also using dynotopo with the wireframe on shows that it is in fact adding more geomtry where I'm sculpting, but it isn't actually changing the shape

here's me trying to use the draw tool on a subdivided cube and dynotopo turned on

you can see where i draw it's adding more geometry, but the cube remains completely flat

[junior void]

Brush set to surface rather than laplacian?

[arctic ginkgo]

i'm not sure where that is

sorry I don't really sculpt. I wanted to try picking it up again and lerning and then it breaks 😭

[arctic ginkgo]

do you know where this setting is?

I've been trying everything i can and googling for the past like half an hour and nothing has come up

okay i was like actually tweaking over this

idk wtf it was but i found ONE person on a forum who also had this issue, and they just had to restart their computer

so I did and now it's working

Which makes me think this is some sort of bug

[primal spruce]

avatar has this problem, And when i press select, and when i add a mask to base msak, it makes Both of my hands move, so if i move my fingers (right hand only) ir moves on my left, and if i mvoe my left hand fingers it doesnt do anything

[untold escarp]

Hey i was wondering if anyone knows how i can fix these issues? I've been trying to figure it out but no luck

[untold escarp]

Mostly the download size and triangles, those seem to be the main problem

[junior void]

id suggest thrys avatar performance tool to get a clear idea of whats taking the most

usually its 4k textures and hundreds of blendshapes being used very often

[untold escarp]

What's the performance tool? ((Sorry im new af, half the things you'll tell me i don't what are or do))

[desert elk]

it's a unity addon you can get to show you what takes up the most space

[untold escarp]

Oh! Is it free?

[desert elk]

Thry's Performance Tool

yes

[untold escarp]

Sweet! I'll search it up right now

[pastel jasper]

question how long do i have to play to make avatars because i had to make a new account

[desert elk]

there's not a set time

just play

[pastel jasper]

dang ok

[desert elk]

or pay for vrc+

automatic one rank up

[untold escarp]

I do have vrc+

[untold escarp]

Okay so I've got the tool on how do i use it?

[desert elk]

idk, I never used it

I'd assume it's somewhere in tools 🤷

[untold escarp]

Ah okay all good

[desert elk]

I meant to rank up in trust ranks. Buying vrc+ for the first time gets you one rank higher

[iron dove]

why is the shader like that?

I can't see the shoes :(

[quasi briar]

Probably using UV Tile discard to hide them

[iron dove]

I found it but now I can't scale/move it

[quasi briar]

Look on the body for a blendshape that hides the feet

[novel smelt]

my avatar has been having problems

i dont know how to do a chest rig can someone help me

please

im broke

[fallen bolt]

its been a hot minute how the hell do I fix this error

[left gull]

open and closing the tab works for me but if it wont load saving and re-opening your project will likely work

[somber sequoia]

Show the first 2-3 errors in the console

[somber sequoia]

That's pretty simple - do it like a standard toggle but use your existing animation instead of making a new one

[woeful sleet]

From how I made this avatar, is the fact that it looks nude the reason the security check keeps failing

[left gull]

likely no

generally the security check fail is because of something about the model being outside the performance limits

[steel bluff]

i, huh, i dunno what happened

[pastel jasper]

if i give somebody a unity download can you make a avatar for me?

[round canyon]

THE MODEL HAS BEEN FINISHED (Credits to my friend AdAccording8832)

[drowsy crane]

Why are my eyes pitch black? And how do I change it?

[timber wharf]

@drowsy crane thats an extra transparent material for eyes reflection, you cant have transparency on quest (looking at VR in shaders name). proper fix would be to just go to blender select all of that material and delete, then delete material itself. less materials, less tris

[neat frigate]

Anyone has ever experienced blendshapes moving when you go in play mode even when, let's say all of the "mouth" blendshapes are on 0 ?

[drowsy crane]

I dont use blender🥀

[timber wharf]

try finding and reusing actual eyes material. ugly fix but may work if uvs are the same

[somber sequoia]

usually that happens due to an animation changing them

[drowsy crane]

It’s still black

[neat frigate]

The thing is that it doesn't happen on a previous version that use the default FBX, today since I edited that FBX and made a separate version when I start play mode the mouth opens

[somber sequoia]

ohh if you specifically mean the mouth opens, then most likely you have the jaw bone mapped but shouldn't.

[neat frigate]

Ohh u mean in the FBX bones mapping ?

[somber sequoia]

If it's not that then you'd have to go dig into what animations you have.

yes

only have that bone in the slot if you actually use it for visemes.

[neat frigate]

This ?

[somber sequoia]

that

[neat frigate]

Jaw to none then ?

[somber sequoia]

yep

[neat frigate]

Lmao it's that, I checked the other FBX, it's set to none 😭

[somber sequoia]

yep

common mistake. I had one like this for a month before I realized what it was 🙂

[neat frigate]

Doing a test rq but thx you ^^

[timber wharf]

if youre editing, just delete it alltogether with vertex painting

[waxen smelt]

so when i upload the avi it was fine but when i look in the game for quest it looks like this what do i do?

[neat frigate]

Yeah.. That's why I love asking other that do avis edits, we often meet the same issues x)

[somber sequoia]

Does it do that in play mode in unity?
Pink is most likely a broken shader setup of some sort, maybe a missing texture.

[somber sequoia]

Yup, it's a lot of why I hang around here

[waxen smelt]

oh

[waxen smelt]

nothing is messed up in unity i added everything on pc it's ok just the quest is idk

[somber sequoia]

if you don't see it in that mode, you should test in play mode

[waxen smelt]

ok

[subtle holly]

Okay so I just uploaded 3 avis, and they all say that they failed the security checks which they shouldnt have- Is there like a wait time or something???

[cedar echo]

Anyone able to help fix these white lines on the edges of my meshes

[cedar echo]

They are more prominent in VR and when farther away

[balmy barn]

texture / uv too close to nothing - you get funny lines at distance - brain melting currently cant think of the wording

[somber sequoia]

I always want to call it "overspray" but that's not it

[balmy barn]

uv need some texture/bleed after or at distance you get some funny lines

[somber sequoia]

yeah "bleed" is the term for printing

[fallen bolt]

how do I fix this

I comm'd this model

[balmy barn]

thats a error i can get pretty easy doesnt matter, some setting when exporting in blender somethingsomething need to be set

[fallen bolt]

well uh

[somber sequoia]

explain what "this" means in most cases, so we know what you're talking about.

[fallen bolt]

again

[fallen bolt]

vrc avatar descriptor

[somber sequoia]

add one to the root object.

[fallen bolt]

same error when I try that

[somber sequoia]

I'm not sure why that would be. But in that screenshot you're in the rig setup mode, you'd need to exit out of that to do anything relevant.

[somber sequoia]

you should probably watch a basic setup tutorial - you have no avatar in the scene here

[fervent crest]

if you have a custom fallback that has the same parameters as the avatar you're currently using, will they be loaded in?

[vast linden]

im confused LOLL and (very)new at thishehe, so im trying to make lip piercing, I was able to make the viseme animations within blender, but when i import the fbx(both model and piercing tg) back into unity and upload on vrchat I crunch up like ive been put into the compactor xddd when I attempted just to upload the lip piercing fbx suddenly only the piercings started to move BAHAHA i dont see no good yt tuts so here i am asking xdd

[hybrid wasp]

sadge just bought and now trying to upload this avatar from booth
but running into errors
anyone knows any fixes?

[topaz mulch]

does anyone know what to remove from a rexouium avi to reduce the physbone transform count?

ive removed most already and its still at 100/64

[somber sequoia]

make sure you're exporting with the same settings as previously used, especially "apply scalings". This looks like a novabeast, I've heard they do something nonstandard there, but not sure what.

[somber sequoia]

If those are not the only two errors, show the first 2-3, at the top.

[left gull]

quick fix would to be removing all the components aside from the ears and tail's but rexouium's are some of the most unoptimized models ive seen so unless you take it into blender and merge some bones + re-weightpaint you're SOL if you're wanting to keep most of the physbones or even keeping those models under very poor

[white sundial]

i'm trying to sculpt a head that's not so "anime" but i'm kinda hating how's becoming

idk what to do about it

[cedar echo]

Is there a way I can re-export my model from blender and keep all of my toggles and stuff I made

[exotic gyro]

Its not letting me upoad cause of this concole error

console

[left gull]

pretty sure thats not the reason just it saying that the upload failed

what do the yellow warnings say or are there any red warnings in the SDK panel?

[exotic gyro]

Theres no other red

It just talks about sps being hidden

[exotic gyro]

^^ Now this

[cedar echo]

Okay I'm having another weird issue, it's saying I'm having problems with hips bones but it was working previously before I reimported it

[unborn robin]

I'm having an issue with my avi where when I talk my mouth will stay open but it doesn't happen when other people look at me, its like a local issue. I'm using visemes and I have checked, there is no jaw bone. The visemes are all of one image being pushed forward and they work, the only issue is getting the mouth to close, but it works when other people look at me.

I've tried removing all layers from the descriptor, none of which working :,))

[hard quest]

Tbh it looks like a paid model so it would be easier to just start from scratch n follow the upload sets, new unity project

[hard quest]

Btw yes if you override your fbx file thats in your unity project u keep your toggles/animations as long as you dont change the mesh name/parent

[hard quest]

Possibly write defaults for your fx animations

[unborn robin]

I tried that :(( put on write defaults fix vrcfury

and it didnt work

idk whats going on with it for it to only be happening locally

[hard quest]

Is the mouth always returning to the same open position or does it like scale over time

[unborn robin]

it always returns to the same open

it always returns to sil

the sil blendshape

[hard quest]

I got nothing.... unless you have an animation overriding your mesh accidentally🤷‍♀️

Does the VRC sdk say anything when your uploading?

[unborn robin]

noo it doesnt

[ocean snow]

When im editing the texture via UV it also changes textures on a place i don't want it to go? messing around in blender how would I go about remaking the uv so or how to stop it from doing this.

[exotic gyro]

It might be my laptop I’m trying my other pc

[zinc palm]

If you are confident in your 2D Viseme knowledge + Physbone Contacts,,,, DM me please I will be forever in your debt

Sent this early LOL

Anyways its for a base im trying to release tomorrow 🙂

[cedar echo]

Anyone know how to fix the offset I have
Basically it's slightly offset to the left in game but in unity and blender it's perfect

Oh it just seems like I didn't set the offset properly

[somber sequoia]

this looks pretty good really.

[nova spear]

anyone know how to actually make a object thats turned off stay off until toggled?

[somber sequoia]

Make your toggle default to off?

[nova spear]

it is.

I use vrcfury, so it automatically is.

[somber sequoia]

is it not working?

[nova spear]

do you need a video?

@somber sequoia

[somber sequoia]

I don't use vrcfury

[left gull]

VRCFury has their own discord for support with their stuff, not many users here who help use vrcfury but rather do stuff manually

[nova spear]

ah ok

[fallen bolt]

how do I put gogo loco into a model, also how do I add the toggles to it, I have a model set up and stuff but I'm having a ton of trouble actually porting it, comm'd it a while back

[junior void]

The easy route is to use vrcfury and just drag and drop the vrcfury gogo install on your avi.

[frosty forge]

If I use vrc quest tools don’t it keep my full pc version untouched so I can access both in one file?

[night nexus]

Anyone able to assist with this? I can provide more information if needed

[nocturne tendon]

how can i accept the turns if there's no box to tick..

can somebody help me pls?

[spark walrus]

does anyone know how to fix "enforce T-pose" undoing upon leaving Avi Config menu

[ornate stump]

Does it show import message error after you click Done?

[hard hatch]

okay so im having trouble figuring out how to change the location of a toggle in the wheel menu on unity. for example, I added a prefab for an asset onto an avi, but it automatically made a seperate submenu with only that single toggle in it and i wanna figure out how to make it so that I can just put that toggle on an already existing submenu

[white sundial]

Thanks mate, im trying to go from scratch to somethign stylized but less anime

I also looked at some makeup tutorials which kinda helped lmao

Soon ill retopo it

[supple needle]

Idk if this counts as avatar help but I wanna know how people are making their unity look pretty. Like changing the border colors and background image/color

[ornate stump]

Had never seen any, other than UI light/dark mode, and fancy hierarchy panel.

[vast linden]

2 STEPS CLOSER THAN BEFORE still stuck BAHAHA IM SO CONFUSEDC (im used to dragging and dropping unity objects and forgetting to place them in the right place will do this, but these r joined together in blender because i made em) THE VISMES ARE WORKING BOTH ON THE MOUTH AND LIPS js bruv the piercings are not stayin in place, (and seems to be attached to my bod) i tried parenting the piercings to the head bone in blender, but tis does not work hhh im no blender nor unity expert bleh

oo wait i think i figured it out

[shrewd spruce]

Heyo, I'm trying to port my avatar to quest, but despite it being installed on my unity build, the option to switch to it is grayed out in my build settings and in my platform picker in the vrchat sdk

I tried downloading the module from the link it gave me when I clicked on android in the build settings but it crashed because it "couldn't delete previous module files"

[quick dome]

never seen this error before in like 2 years of uploading, any tips

[ornate stump]

Check for more error above that.

[cedar echo]

Is there a way I can make the further parts of my tail for my avatar actually like curve downward toward to the ground

[ornate stump]

If physbone then add gravity curve to it.

[ashen crane]

Help!! i made a pretty big animation in unity and i dont know what happened but suddenly its missing a ton of keyframes and theyre all set to the first frame for some reasons.. Is there a way i can recover my old animation? i saved my project when my animation was correctly keyframed, but i dont know what to do now.

[cedar echo]

Yeah I found that out after, but now I have a new question how do I make it collider with the floor

[ornate stump]

You have to fake it with plane collider at your avatar feet.

[tardy nymph]

how to..?

[spark walrus]

need help ive tried put the dot thing to where i need it and it still shows up like this

ive look up stuff on yt but all kinda just tells me to put the dot where i want the view to be or something like that

[tardy nymph]

nevermind

i wasn't reading

[cedar echo]

I was having issues with that in the past, the way I fixed it was I just said it to 0,0,0 then I moved it up to where I wanted the eye height to be

[spark walrus]

put the view position? i tried and its putting it at the bottom left corner every time

[cedar echo]

I don't know enough so I gave you the only trick I do know

[spark walrus]

alright thanks for trying to help

[cedar echo]

I just realized I forgot about this, how do I do this

[ornate stump]

Create new game object, add physbone collider component, set type to plane, assign it to physbone component.

[cedar echo]

I'll finish that tomorrow

I'm finally go to bed I woke up at 9:00 yesterday and I'm going to sleep at 5:00 today

[runic yarrow]

Hello. I am having an issue where the text box and the nameplate of my avatar is very high up for seemingly no reason.

I have been told in the past this is caused by my bounding box being too large but...

This is my bounding box in unity editor:

and this is my bounding box in game

The only packages I have that modify avatars at build time are VRCFury and Modular Avatar. I have already turned off the bounding box fix on VRCfury and this does not resolve it. I also do not have any cloth components

The bounding box looks perfectly fine when I "play" the scene with Gesture Manager.

Can anyone offer any insight on how I can fix this?

[meager falcon]

Hello, I am dabbling with expressions/gestures and I think I have made some progress with it!
The thing is, I want to have two ways to "express" my model, Left and Right Hand gestures, and toggle mode. The problem I am having is either hand gestures just doesn't work, or when I toggle emotions, hand gestures overwrites it.
Is there a way to that both works, but when toggle emotion is on, hand gesture doesn't overwrites it? Or do I have to just make a menu for "toggle hand gestures off"?

[sudden violet]

there are a few ways to go about that.

What's important to understand, is layer priority. anything "below" will over-write anything "above".

That means, you can do a setup like this. Layer 1 = toggles, and layer 2 = hand animations.

As long as you don't control anything with layer 1 when it's idle, layer 2 will work just fine.

it can also all be done in a single layer if you're creative enough

[meager falcon]

so currently I have the layers like this. This enables toggles, but hand gesture overwrites it.... so I'm trying to find out how to do the opposite.

(All parts is empty)

[sudden violet]

can you click on the options of the 3rd and 4th layer, and share a screenshot?

[meager falcon]

here you go

[sudden violet]

i meant these two

[meager falcon]

oh derp, my bad, here

[sudden violet]

just to double check that what i said is true, can you try to put "Toggle expressions" at the bottom, and see how it behaves?

i don't remember if the layers at the top have priority, or bottom

[meager falcon]

doing that, hand gestures doesn't work, but only toggles does

(According to Gesture Manager at least)

[sudden violet]

ah, i said that wrong then, it's the bottom ones that have priority over the top ones.

if you don't apply any toggle, do the hand gestures work?

[meager falcon]

huh, always thought top was prioty myself as well, the more you know.
let me check

So when I remove the expression menu from the model, gestures doesn't work, but when I put toggle gesture's weight to 0, it does.

[sudden violet]

oh no, you don't need to remove it. What i'm trying to understand, is if your Idle animation in Expression menu is controlling any blendshapes.

oh wait there is a much simpler way to do this

so you want that when you enable an expression, hand gestures don't overwrite it, correct?

[meager falcon]

oh?

yes

when toggled, hand gestures don't overwrites it

[sudden violet]

ok, there are a few ways to go about it, but if i had to think about your current setup, and the fastest way to implement it..

basically, what is happening here, is that your Idle animation in expressions, probably sets all the blendshapes back to 0, and that's why your hand animations aren't working now.

you can double-check that to be sure

[meager falcon]

Where exactly do I check that?

[sudden violet]

click on that box, and check what the animation present in it does.

[meager falcon]

this is what I have

[sudden violet]

yup, and now check what this does
(Also, set the weight on Toggle expressions to 1)

[meager falcon]

also double clicking, Only "Toggle expression" has "loop time" tick
alright

nothing, just blank

[sudden violet]

-# oh, that's not what i expected

welp, anyhow

[meager falcon]

welp

[sudden violet]

In theory, with the current setup you have, when you turn on expressions, your hand gestures shouldn't overwrite anything.

and when you don't toggle anything, your hand gestures should work

give it a shot

[meager falcon]

...I is so smart

There was two idle animation... IDLE and EMPTY

When I changed toggles idle to EMPTY... it nows works

[sudden violet]

i also just realized that you didn't actually show me the IDLE animation from this screenshot, so i was probably correct on what i was assuming

now the real question is

if you toggle an expression on, and then turn it off, does it go back to the "default" state?

and does everything work as you want it to?

[meager falcon]

yup yup. toggle back off set's back to defualt!

[sudden violet]

Cool! We love write defaults~

[meager falcon]

everything looks okay here, thank you so much for your help!

[sudden violet]

all good! What was happening there, is that the IDLE animation probably set the blendshapes to 0.

Bottom layers overwrite the top ones, which means because the blendshapes were set to 0, they couldn't change.
Now that you got rid of the IDLE, it doesn't do that

[indigo kernel]

I've been trying to upload a version of a avatar to quest and i have the file for the quest version but i followed a totorial and they had a second option at the top of it by Vrchat SDK but i dont see it am i missing something or do i not have it

I use PCVR but i want it to be quest and PC compatible

nvm i figured it out lmao

[lean sage]

Does anyone know how people are able to get an avi that’s already made Customized and re-colored?

[somber sequoia]

you buy the source files for it, customize it, and upload it yourself

[lean sage]

Ah, i see

thanks man!

[inland seal]

Can someone help how do I dissable Blinking if booping is activated (float)

This is the booping

[junior void]

You add to blinking the condition booping:false?

[inland seal]

Its a float

not a boolean

[weary plover]

I downloaded the new version of unity and the content creator is not recognizing it while it’s literally running a new project. Makes no sense

[balmy barn]

wrong unity version

[weary plover]

that's the one it directed me to oof okay thank you. i'll have to find it

[balmy barn]

https://unity.com/releases/editor/whats-new/2022.3.22

[weary plover]

thank you

[inland seal]

Still need help with this

[weary plover]

oh it said an error occured on the content creator. I might have to use it on my better PC

[somber sequoia]

#creator-companion exists also.

[weary plover]

oh okay thank you

[eternal shuttle]

is it ok to ask for help with blender stuff here?

[somber sequoia]

sure! But there's also #3d-modeling and #avatar-rigging , which may be more on-topic depending on what you're doing

[wicked valley]

:(

how do i fix it?

[desert elk]

add a mask to the first animator layer

like it says

usually it's hands only

[wicked valley]

how 😭

[somber sequoia]

click the gear in the animation layer, there's an option to add a mask

[wicked valley]

there already is one

nvm got it

now i have errors uploading

[somber sequoia]

always look at the first 2-3 errors, there's really no useful information in these.

[worn flicker]

howww to fix this? first time ive gotten something like this

[snow goblet]

does this twistbone setup look correct?

[desert elk]

click on your fbx in the assets and go to rig > configure and correct it there

[worn flicker]

i did that, i uploaded it and now im stuck in a tpose

this is how it looks right now, in configure

aswell as, when i go to record a animation the pose doesnt move.

i also just realized, when i apply the changes in configuration.. it gives me warnings like this and reverts back to how it was.

[somber sequoia]

that message about spine hierarchy being wrong will be a problem

[worn flicker]

Is there any way to fix it?

[somber sequoia]

Of course, order it properly in Blender or similar

[worn flicker]

im sorry, how would i order it?

[somber sequoia]

hips -> spine -> chest -> upper chest (optional) -> neck -> head

shoulders come off chest or upper chest (if present)

there's a sample ideal armature pinned in #avatar-rigging

[worn flicker]

if i just move it around in blender, it wont break anything right?

im worried i might have to redo the entire avatar or outfits

[worn flicker]

wait, this is how it looks in blender

but not unity?

[somber sequoia]

your head is in the wrong place

[worn flicker]

In blender and unity?

[somber sequoia]

I can't see it in your unity screenshot but it's clear in the blender one

[worn flicker]

The head is at the top in the hierarchy, above hips

In unity

[somber sequoia]

oh! Yes. That is wrong, as I said.

[worn flicker]

I see, so I move the head in blender and then put the fbx back into unity?

[somber sequoia]

yes.

[worn flicker]

does the head go below or inside the neck?

[somber sequoia]

The head should be a direct child of the neck. I'm not sure I know what you mean by below vs. inside.

[worn flicker]

okay, how do i make it a child of the neck?

[somber sequoia]

there's a "parent" option in the bone properties panel, or you can select child then parent and I think it's ctrl+p?

(be in armature edit mode)

[charred knot]

does anyone know how to make a low framerate toggle

[umbral oriole]

also just to add yuour hips is seet top the wrong bone should be the hep/waist bone

[worn flicker]

how do i fix this?

just change it?

[umbral oriole]

yeah where uyou configure the boines just click and drag the hip bone to where it says hip then save

[worn flicker]

thank youuuu

does this look right now??

[umbral oriole]

no worries lol doi you still get the error not set in tpose?

[umbral oriole]

that looks good

[worn flicker]

im doing what they told me to do in blender then im gonna test it!!

now, when i reimport the fbx, am i gonna have to redo all the physbones and toggles i had on the messed up one>

?

[somber sequoia]

you shouldn't have to

[umbral oriole]

it should be able to be overwritten

[somber sequoia]

I tend to put all my physbones under their own tree of game objects not on the armature, in case I screw something in it up.

(and I can also prefab it so it's the same for all variants of the same avatar)

[umbral oriole]

you can overwrite an fbx if you export from blender to the same location with the same name so you wont need to redo everything

[worn flicker]

how? i dont think i put it on the direct armature, i think i put it on individual game objects like (butt root, hair root) things like that for example

[umbral oriole]

as i said
you can overwrite an fbx if you export from blender to the same location with the same name so you wont need to redo everything

[worn flicker]

thank you!!

[umbral oriole]

you wont need to put everything back one by one

also have you set the avatar to humaniod?

[worn flicker]

i do yes

[somber sequoia]

also use the same scaling settings as previous - probably "FBX All" if you don't know it's something different.

[umbral oriole]

ok sick and its not showing any errors right like in the first image where it says its not in tpose?

[worn flicker]

could i dm you?

[umbral oriole]

ofcourse

[worn flicker]

why is it showing the fbx like this?

aswell as gesture manager is not showing my avatar

[somber sequoia]

did you just re-export from blender with the wrong scaling settings?

i.e. set "apply scalings" to "FBX All" in the export dialog unless you know it should be set to something different

[brittle grove]

i uploaded this avatar with a bunch of clothing options listed on the website, and they were also visible in unity, but when i test the avatar theres no expressions that lets me toggle the clothing, or anything for that matter! ive seen comms of this base use gogoloco and wear the various clothing items shown as advertised, but none of that is found when i use it.

https://booth.pm/ja/items/6127047

please help!!

id have screenshots of the clothing not showing up in vrc but its kinda self explanatory

[supple needle]

How do you add assets to an avatar with gonso license ? When I put the asset on in hierarchy and stuff it disappears. How do I make it so the asset stays on the avatar…..?? It’s only avatars with gonso that do this

[arctic ginkgo]

could anyone help with rigging this folding table? I'm unsure of how to get the "track" peice to get in the right position. I can do this in Unity or Blender, since if I do it in Blender I can create the opening/closing animations and bake + export them to Unity

I was playing around with drivers but I just couldn't figure out the right expression for it

basically the green bone should be aiming at the "track" piece, which is supposed to slide along a track to meet it

here's screenshots from me manually placing it to show the intended behavior

is this possibly something I could use IK for?

[umbral oriole]

i think the issue is prob wrong menu or wrong parameters in the descriptor

can you take a screenshot of the expression menu part of the avatar descripor

[brittle grove]

sure! lemme open unity real fast, i may need help on getting there im SUPER new to this lmao

[umbral oriole]

gonso sucks butty cheeks sorry you have to deal with that

[umbral oriole]

no worries i understand how confusing this can all be

[supple needle]

I just wanna edit my avatar with assets and not just textures ://

I’m starting to get really impatient with this gonso breaks everything

[umbral oriole]

ive never worked with a gonso avatar before so i have no idea what could be done on them. will never get one tho regardless of how good it looks

[supple needle]

I’m just getting really upset that I can’t edit this avatar to my liking. I just wanna give it glasses

[umbral oriole]

try asking in the creators discord if they have one

mayvbe they have instructions for that

[brittle grove]

lol thank you!! you get it

alrightyy

this is what i see right now

[umbral oriole]

ok good

on the right side is the inspector

click on the one you uploaded

then show me what the inspector shows

[brittle grove]

okay

[umbral oriole]

ok good

so the issue is when you uploaded it you didnt have a menu for the clothesd?

[brittle grove]

yeah, usually with bases i get theres expressions for a menu with clothing toggles, gogoloco maybe, a gesture lock maybe, and some other stuff!

none of that is here

[umbral oriole]

ok for gogo loco you will have to add that yourself

but no worries its easy

for the clothing toggles thats a different story

[brittle grove]

oh my

i saw something somewhere mentioning it could be a different prefab or something like that with all of the toggles, should i look for that first?

[umbral oriole]

can we call and show screen so i can see more of the avatar better?

[brittle grove]

if i were to get gogoloco for this, could you help me out with that?

[brittle grove]

of course!!

[runic yarrow]

Still needing help with this if anyone can help ^°^

[round trench]

I have some clothes as prefabs on my avatar, and in order to meet performance requirements I deleted some built-in clothes for it, the problem I have however is that now, the clothing prefab do not show on the 3d avatar preview when selecting it at the avatar menu in-game even though the clothing prefab is enabled by default, so with the removal of the built-in clothing meshes, the 3d preview of my avatar is naked.

It is a trivial issue, but if anyone here has a solution to get the clothing prefab to show up on the 3d avatar preview as well, it would be much appreciated

[woeful wren]

Hello, quick question. Is it possible use lapwing face tracking with only iphone?

[glass geyser]

what are the required bones s 3d model must have for a humanoid avatar

[somber sequoia]

spine -> head, arms down to hands, legs down to feet. an ideal armature is diagrammed in #avatar-rigging - see the pins

[glass geyser]

ok, thank you

[somber sequoia]

for spine specifically hips -> spine -> chest -> upper chest (optional) -> neck -> head

[glass geyser]

I thought the chest was optional

[somber sequoia]

nope

upper chest is though

[left gull]

unsure if you ever got a response to your original question but gonso is really limiting for customization, its very likely you wont be able to add anything to the model and anything that uses gonso should be avoided like the plague if you ever want to customize your models

im unsure why creators even bother using it still since its apparently bypassable anyways kinda just sucks for the normal consumer

[worldly flame]

I feel like I should know this already, but do physbones collide with the world? If they don't, is there a way to at least check if a certain point is inside world collision?

[spare gust]

Does anyone know how to add sounds to avatars when they step? Like for example I found a model when you step around on full body tracking it makes a foot step sound

[somber sequoia]

contact receiver on the foot, plane sender at the root of the avatar, trigger when the contact is made.

[spare gust]

Ah ok I’ll see if I can figure it out

Contacts are not my strong suit but today I’ll learn lmao

[somber sequoia]

it's a good one to learn with - it's a bit tricky. like you want to trigger when the contact is made (i.e. "edge triggered") but not have it reset to the "ready" state until the foot is up.

[spare gust]

Yes I have absolutely no clue how to do that XD

But that’s exactly what I’m trying to do

[spare gust]

How would I get a sender to be a plane if you don’t mind me asking

[somber sequoia]

ooh that's right, you can't, I was thinking of physbone colliders.
You can make a ludicrously large sphere, it's plane-like at the edge

[spare gust]

Ok let me try doing that

Thank you

[somber sequoia]

I did this once to try to make paw prints, and it worked.....okay.

[spare gust]

Yeah I have this fnaf AVI that does the foot steps well I just can’t get in contact with em or I would ask

[nova flicker]

does anyone know as to how make sure a particle is being shown in the mirror?

[arctic ginkgo]

a much better idea imo is to use position constraints

[somber sequoia]

disable backface culling, by default it's on and particles are billboard rendered, so the backface always faces the mirror

[arctic ginkgo]

you only need to detect 1 axis, so constrain the floor contacts to the X and Z position of the foot contacts so that they always collide at the same spot

[somber sequoia]

ooh that's a good idea

[spare gust]

Ok again I have no clue how to do any of this is there a way you could explain a tad better?

[somber sequoia]

yeah I don't know why I didn't think of that, I like that idea

[arctic ginkgo]

add a position constraint to the contact that will be on the floor. Add a source and set that to the contact that is on your foot (you can drag it into the slot). Open constraint settings and deselect "Y" in the "Freeze Position Axes", and then click "Activate".

[nova flicker]

thank you!i will try that :3

[spare gust]

Trying this now

[spare gust]

Worked it’s just that my foot bone is trying to drag down to the sender

[arctic ginkgo]

not sure why that would be happening, the position constraint shouldn't have anything to do with the foot itself

[spare gust]

thats so weird ok ill mess with it

Dang

Anyway we good now!

I had the dang constraint on the foot instead of its own separate thing

[ember blade]

Is it possible to stack or overlay multiple matcaps on one surface?

[somber sequoia]

if the shader supports it, sure

I can't see how that'd be very effective though

[hushed sphinx]

Quick question im not the best with unity I know how to do basic toggles and all that but I have a toggle I really wanna do! So what I wanna do is have a music box playing which that part I can do no problem! However the part I need help with is if I ever turn the toggle off I kinda wanna interruption sound like a record screech if the music box isn't finished However if the music box is finished and I turn it off I don't want the record screech to play! I hope I explained that good enough!

[chrome ridge]

MY ARMS WONT ARM pls helppp meeeeee waaaaaaaaa my irl arm is fully out BUT MY AVI DOES THAT

[sweet crypt]

when i added the immersive phone system to my booth avi it did this. anyone know a fix?

[wintry ledge]

Does anyone know how to make a phys bone collider for necklaces? They just always swish thru the back of the neck/chest when walking :/ I used vrc fury and made a chest collider but it still went through, I tried using different parts of the body or the necklace as a root bone for the collider but no matter what it. still. goes. through. 😭

[wanton cedar]

just make the pill collider and put it in the neck and chest??

[chilly ibex]

Could someone help me attach on earring to my avatar? Anthro avatar and I'm trying to attach it to one of the ears.

[stoic bobcat]

idk how I got it to work the first time, but whenever I add a rotation contraint and activate it, it just doesnt do anything and I have to end up turning it off and setting it to zero so many times until it just works and idk how I got it to work

im trying to get it locked to the ground and only follow X and Z but its just not cooperating until it does and idk how I got it to

[strong turtle]

is there any issues going on with the api ? my vrchat SDK panel is behaving weirdly.. does not load my avatar names, and downgrading did not seem to fix anything.. and even if it manages to build.. it fails to upload with very random seeming errors like not having a image (probably because it failed ot load the old one from the api?)

anyone else getting this instability ?

[chrome ridge]

why well no one helpp meeee🥺 😭

[strong turtle]

i don't think you gave enoug context for what goes wrong... what you did.. or such
to me it seems like there is some armature linking going on.. but with a .. offset ? no idea how to help ya

[sweet crypt]

its conntected to my right eye root but still leaves? why?

[chrome ridge]

I literally do not know 😭 My guess is that something with the armature Not being short enough because when I like physically move my controller farther It links up and when I use the slider it also fixes it but then my heights all messed up and my full body breaks But then when I make the amateur shorter It doesn't work

Basically it doesn't fully extend even though my hand is fully extended

[sick loom]

is that connected to the head bone?

[sweet crypt]

i tried head and right eye both had same result

[sick loom]

can you show where it is in the hierarchy?

[strong turtle]

oh that.. there is ingame adjstment for arm to height ratio

[sick loom]

oh the problem was that your arm wasn’t stretching its full length?

I was a bit confused by how you worded it

[somber sequoia]

I've had to just scale my arm bones down a bit for some avatars.

[sweet crypt]

I’m not home atm off I can tell you I tried using modular avatar bone proxy and dragged it onto the head both had same results

[dim glen]

im trying to create a material shift radial puppet (which ive done before with no issues), but for some reason whenever I drag my material over the object in the second frame, unity gives me an error stating that it cannot revert overriden properties in animation mode. ive never had that issue before and did some research online but didnt really find anything. has anyone else had this issue and how did you fix it?

[dim glen]

is it weight painted properly?

[sweet crypt]

I’ll be honesty it’s not my asset so idek how to find that 🥲

[dim glen]

oh i see

do you have it in blender?

[sweet crypt]

No don’t have blender download but I can. I just need as hoping unity bc I don’t want it on my avi permanently so I was ganna make it a toggle

[sick loom]

I see too many people adding meshes directly to bones in unity and not weight painting

[dim glen]

I can give u steps on how to do it in unity really quickly

[sweet crypt]

I’m not home so if it’s possible to dm me I would greatly appreciate it. The asset was a Bday gift from a friend so I wanna use it

[dim glen]

sure!

[sweet crypt]

I appreciate it

[dim glen]

np! hope that fixes your issue!

[drifting river]

How do I make my own avis?

[cedar echo]

There's quite a few tutorials on YouTube, but you will need a PC that can run unity at the bare minimum, I would suggest that your PC can run blender too

But does anyone know how to make a thing where I have 2D images as the mouth

[dim glen]

like a texture?

[dim glen]

you'd need to uv unwrap the head and then use that template to put your pattern on it. then when you import that texture onto the head it should appear where you put it

like this basically

[cedar echo]

I was hoping I could use the detail thing as a way I could add it

Well that's going to be annoying

Actually there's a detail mask I could probably use that, right?

[dim glen]

yup! if there are textures alr put into the file of the head you are using, then you can edit them straight from there instead of unwrapping

[cedar echo]

Hell yeah

[ancient crest]

how do i fix this error'

;-;

[quasi crypt]

im trying to add rag doll on my pal world avatar until i get this I dont know what this mean it never had this before, im just updating the avatars, before vr chat had the up for unity my avatar for pal world never had this problem

it says it not a child of your avatar dont know what that means

how do i fix it

[quasi crypt]

so i dont know if the new update for the unity broke my avatar

[dawn crown]

Yes dm

[junior void]

there isnt really a reason to go to dms

[stark meadow]

ok timothy kelly you gotta be a scammer

[dawn crown]

No

[junior void]

very sus indeed

if you wanna help, tell us here

[stark meadow]

added me message requested me and solicited another friend request in vrchat-pictures

[dawn crown]

Do you know fiverrr

[still shuttle]

Every "avatar creator" I've met that used fiverr was a scammer ngl

[junior void]

This is besides the point

lets not fight here, there is still a person wanting help

[stark meadow]

broke how?

[sudden violet]

I guess Timothy can tell us, since he seems to know

jokes aside, yea, give more details Art

[dawn crown]

It’s depends on avatar creator you meet

The creator who helped me with my own avatar review on his pfp

[quasi crypt]

so before this whole update from 8.1 to 8.2, before i update my project i used the 8.1 and rag doll was fine but i dont know in part of thier announcements they said this "Nested armature" means the root of the armature is not a direct child of the GameObject containing the avatar's animator. Avatars set up this way have previously not had animations play for other users when seen in VRChat." so i dont know if this update that they did broke rag doll from working on my avatar

[stark meadow]

can you send a picture of your avatar's hierarchy in unity?

[sudden violet]

sounds familiar. Are you talking about the ragdoll system from VRClabs?

[quasi crypt]

yeah

[sudden violet]

while i can't help with it (Kitty137 might), if you struggle to find a solution, i advise to go in their discord. I remember hearing a similiar discussion happening last week

[stark meadow]

can you press the arrow i highlighted? i need to see where the ragdoll prefab is

i will try but i dont use vrcfury or modularavatar for anything but gogoloco, going to the asset maker's discord is a good idea though if i cant

[quasi crypt]

well here is the thing i deleted rag doll on it cuz since you know the mesh problem with the rag doll, so i dont know if i might have to wait if the creator of the rag doll updates it or something

[stark meadow]

yeah i would recommend trying to find someone who has fixed it or trying the creator's discord

[quasi crypt]

okay thank you ill see what i can do, not going to lie being an avatar creator for 4 years is such a pain in the neck sometimes

[stark meadow]

so true i have been kitbashing since early 2019 so i know how to fix stuff done the old way before vrcfury and modular avatar

[quasi crypt]

the problem was resolved about the rag doll issue

[stark meadow]

yippee!

[copper carbon]

yo how does syncing parameters work between quest and pc?
i recently got my avatar which works fine on pc to be quest compatible but people are saying all my toggles are broken (essentially everything that was enabled on the pc side was disabled for quest)
they both use the same parameters and menu the only thing i changed was the fx
though i do have some prefabs which add parameters and stuff :P

[timber wharf]

@copper carbon exactly the same vrc avatar params asset should be enough

[copper carbon]

but i dont have clothes on for quest... when i do on pc...

[timber wharf]

if you use assets that edit those on upload, youd have to account for that

[copper carbon]

how would i account for that?

[timber wharf]

with vrcf do that https://vrcfury.com/tutorials/quest/ with whatever else read whatever else's docs🤷‍♂️

[balmy fulcrum]

Does anyone have/know where to find a normal map for the Velle's face? Mine is missing its normal map

[sudden violet]

re-download the asset you bought, assuming it has a normal map to begin with, and try to reimport it

[balmy fulcrum]

Turns out the issues I was having was abt the shading type but that did make it look better ty :3

[sudden violet]

Oh, welp, that works

[woeful wren]

anyone know where we can make sdf map for face like this? https://x.com/NAR2068768/status/1901660381279613237

[fervent spear]

hey guys for some reason my quest impostor generates an older version of my avatar instead of the current version? the pc impostor is fine, any idea what might be causing this?
edit: fixed it, i just deleted my avatar and reuploaded it

[quasi briar]

It doesnt matter if they dont match but the parameters MUST match. Like for example your quest build doesnt have to have a mesh for the clothes, but you can't remove the clothes parameter.

[umbral sapphire]

I want to make a funny avatar where it looks normal and then when I move everything goes wiggly almost like there are no bones in the avatar. How would I do that?

[sudden violet]

You've probably messed something up with the armature, but without additional context, it's hard to give suggestions.

wait nvm

i missread that

[umbral sapphire]

Oh i wanted to do it on purpose hehe

no worries xP

thank you for responding ❤️

[arctic ginkgo]

you could add a physbone component to the hip bone

[umbral sapphire]

I'll try that thank you 🙂

[sudden violet]

there is a very good chance this avatar surpasses the 500mb limit VRchat has

at least, that's my guess

idk how that works as i never had an avatar above 500mb

[earnest depot]

ups

2gb

[sudden violet]

-# jesus

[earnest depot]

so i can only have 500mb ?

[sudden violet]

assuming the SDK enforces it, yes. I never had it above 500mb, so i'm unsure what happens if you go above that

[earnest depot]

well that explains the errors

but that means no no avatar for me

[sudden violet]

i mean, i assume you have like, 20 different outfits on that?

you can upload them separately if that's the case

for example i upload a new avi for each new outfit i use, and if i am not bothered to optimise them, i at least throw d4rk's avatar optimiser on them

[earnest depot]

i just download it and then ?

its unitypackage

[sudden violet]

wait, an avatar you downloaded is like that? you didn't add anything?

[earnest depot]

yes

[sudden violet]

-# damn

[earnest depot]

so you cant help me

damn

[sudden violet]

it'd be a 5hrs+ thing to figure out, as you'd need to learn a few amount of things

however, uh

[earnest depot]

maybe i can stream u
