[sudden violet]

you can try checking if adding d4rk's avatar optimizer does enough

[earnest depot]

i just assets and then import package?

or how do i add it

its added i thinkl

[sudden violet]

https://github.com/d4rkc0d3r/d4rkAvatarOptimizer

should be right. If you go to your avatar now, you can add it as a new component.

[earnest depot]

how do i do that i really never worked with unity before

ah i found it i think

[sudden violet]

well nevermind, most things on that avi aren't mergeable without changing the looks, was worth a shot.

[earnest depot]

damn

[timber wharf]

if only there was a way to upload multiple avatars to account and not have every blow and whistle crammed into one. but a man can dream...

[balmy barn]

what avatar is this even from, extremely badly made

ding

[timber wharf]

oh, stolen as well, nice

[earnest depot]

did you paint your profile picture yourself ?

[balmy barn]

that page host stolen asset & ripped stuff, known to have some 'fun' things in the packages that can wreck you too

[timber wharf]

nah thats the very first chinese ai even pre stable diffusion

[earnest depot]

idk i got it recommend from my russian friend

i asked him where to get avatar he said here

im new to this vrchat thingy and i have no idea

[balmy barn]

dont expect much help with it 🐢

[lilac musk]

Time to reevaluate that friend

[earnest depot]

for that i need new one first 🧙‍♂️

[lilac musk]

Why?

[earnest depot]

cause with who else am i gonna chill

[lilac musk]

Reevaluating a friend has nothing to do with getting another. Besides, you're playing VR chat. There are loads of people who just want to hang out

[earnest depot]

guess i wasnt lucky yet

[sudden violet]

that's a ripping website, which also explains why it's like that.

Try using things like booth

[copper carbon]

i didnt
all i removed was some stuff in the fx layer that was used to account for a pc only prefab which where gonna be on the pc only one but not the questy one
the parameter list matched though because the pc version and the quest version use the same file for the parameter list
i think the problem was that i uploaded to quest then pc and updated the pc version a few times but not the quest one

[earnest depot]

bro but i dont understand my friend has send me his avatar exact same and its 2.3gb but HOW IS HEE using it in vrchat but for me it gives error

[iron widget]

Has anybody else noticed that radial puppets tend to spaz out when changing them?

[sudden violet]

mmh, stick drift?

[copper carbon]

some avatars have safety scripts which like ... corrupt the upload but it doesnt tell the uploader (ive seen it in the deira)

[iron widget]

No, it’s a software bug, I set it to a value, and then it spaces out between them until it slowly goes too some value between them.

[sudden violet]

that's, interesting. What do you mean for "Spaz out", exactly? Your radial menu doesn't move, but the "toggles" change between each other?

or, does your radial-menu spaz out?

[iron widget]

The radial puppet literally goes between the previous and new values really fast, and then usually ends up somewhere between them, this is reflected visually as well.

[sudden violet]

does it happen on PC as well? Without a VR?

[winter kite]

I made some custom emote for my avatar for the action layer. When I play them I always see them locally, however for other people, the animations only play 20-30% of the time. Most of the time other people simply see me standing in place and jittering slightly.

Would anyone know why that might happen?

[iron widget]

It only happens on pc, quest seems to be fine as of 2025.2.3

[sudden violet]

have you checked PCVR?

[iron widget]

Yes, still the same spazzing

[umbral oriole]

question have you tried using gesture manager first to see if the avatar works in unity?

[iron widget]

I’ve tried the same avatar on both quest and pc, and the pcvr readial puppet seems to be broken, so it’s definitely not an avatar issue.

[sudden violet]

mmmh, you could have something else that controls the value

which "goes away" when going on quest

only guess i've got

to test that, put the layer in question in your FX all the way at the bottom, so it overrides everything.

[iron widget]

Already did that, it’s the same issue.

[earnest depot]

I fixed everything

[cloud mortar]

I don’t know if I’m asking on the right channel but wasn’t there a Kmart in VRChat? I’m trying to find the server

[umbral oriole]

oh you were able to upload it? sick

[earnest depot]

Yea 2.5gb rookie numbers

[umbral oriole]

what was causing the issue if you dont mind me asking

[earnest depot]

Me not knowing how to use the UI and that i need to actually activate the plugins manually

[umbral oriole]

ahhh i see

[iron widget]

I don’t know how this could possibly happen if both versions use the same animation controller.

[earnest depot]

Pretty fun right

[umbral oriole]

Okay, sick. Also, just a heads up, it's best not to use vrmodels because it is a ripper site and pretty taboo; it steals people's work. There are tons of free Vrchat avatars to be found on sites like Jinxxy and more options if you are up for paying for a decent one.

most people will refuse to help if they find out thats where you got an avi

[mellow vigil]

I generally just need help or someone to recommend a good tutorial for animated toggles, as in toggles that have an animation that makes them move made in blender or unity. I can never rig them myself, and I always rely on a half working version using VRCfury

[lavish pagoda]

I'm working on a non-humanoid model and I'm having trouble getting my avatar's animations working. I've made my own animation tree for locomotion, but it isn't working in-game. It works fine when previewed in Unity with Gesture Manager.

If anybody has the time to help me with this, please shoot me a DM.

[iron widget]

[stray lintel]

Hi, I’m trying to do an animation that would allow others to see through a custom camera I would use in my animation, how do I do that?

see if there's a blendshape set on the body mesh

[twilit glen]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[somber sequoia]

in the hierarchy, you should have a root avatar object, and under that should be something named "body" or similar. No idea what it might be called in your case.

maybe "mesh" there?

if you click it, in the inspector, you'll find a SkinnedMeshRenderer component, and on that, you'll find a dropdown list of blendshapes

[somber sequoia]

I have no idea, it could be named anything

you could try clicking on the avatar's body in the scene, and see what gets highlighted in the hierarchy

sometimes it's hard to click on the right thing in the Scene view though

[umbral oriole]

is this in playmode or in the unity scene

[twilit glen]

[umbral oriole]

ok interesting

[somber sequoia]

oh - if it's only in play mode then some animation is definitely still animating that blendshape

[umbral oriole]

i think the animation in the fx

[somber sequoia]

should be

[umbral oriole]

you will need to go into the fx and delete the node for the animation

[umbral oriole]

btw are you ok with call and sharing screen its a lot easier for me to diagnose what going on and help if we can do that

[vast linden]

is there a way to easily switch all your shaders in unity?

[desert elk]

you can select all of them and change the shader all at once

[vast linden]

wym??

[naive copper]

Bro, I made the update and I'm fr in tears

How tf do I even fix something like this

[somber sequoia]

looks like out of date packages to me - go into VCC and update things that aren't up to date.

[somber sequoia]

This happens when you try to select different object types at the same time

[spiral hazel]

Okay so every time i trry and upload, it doesn't upload bc of a verification issue, but then it generaates a prefab in my project folder. I don't know what is happening. and it says that my streaming mitmaps are disabled but everything IS enabled. idk what to do.

This is an edit to a model. I purchased it, but it won't let me upload it.

I literally don't know what else to do.

I've updated EVERYTHING in VCC

I've closed and reopened

Made a new project

But NOTHING. Is working.

And every time i upload, it builds a prefab.

[naive copper]

man :(

[naive copper]

Thank you man ;w;

Really, thank you

I thought I had to redo my entire project

[somber sequoia]

nah, that's almost never necessary

[spiral hazel]

what. the heck.
so disregard. my rant. i want to shout but the bot will get me

it worked. randomly.

[desert elk]

it's probably cause two of them are different

[hollow pawn]

Im currenly editing a model i paid for, but the model does'nt have the right tail or ears that I want. Anybody know any free rabbit ears/tail meshes that I can use on it? I already spent 50$ and its overbudget already

[umbral oriole]

i think one of your parameters is causing problems prob not set correctly

[umbral oriole]

im glad it worked out for you bro

[spiral hazel]

Try looking in Sketchfab!

[umbral oriole]

https://usahogoya.booth.pm/items/4436507?ref=jinxxy

here you go

https://funsizedata.gumroad.com/l/bunearstail?ref=jinxxy

https://logansnell31.gumroad.com/l/cqanfh?ref=jinxxy

these are some free ear and tail sets i could find

hope they suit what you are looking for

[hollow pawn]

They don't really fit the avatar design, but I appreciate the effort! I think I'm just gonna ask a friend to help, they have more experience

[urban forum]

Elp please, the default pose for my model on Unity is not the one I want. Is there a way to change what pose the avatar is in when looking at in the Scene Window?

[umbral oriole]

no worries then. hope you can find what your looking for

[umbral oriole]

can you show what it looks like in unity

[hollow pawn]

thank you!

[urban forum]

Mm k, sec

[umbral oriole]

ok i see

you want it in tpose im guessing?

[urban forum]

T-pose or the stand pose, ya.

[umbral oriole]

ok i see hmm

check the fbx i believe you can enforce tpose from there

go to the fbx the configure in rig then scroll down

you will see something that says pose

[urban forum]

ooh, hmm

[umbral oriole]

click and you will see enforce tpose

[urban forum]

This window?

YES, I see it

hmm, didn't work.. shid

[umbral oriole]

hmmm

ok let me think

[umbral oriole]

btw why do you want it in tpose?

is it keeping the avatar from uploading or causing issues in playmode?

[urban forum]

I found out early that if the avatar is floating like that anything I add to it is offset a bit and doesn't look right. I had to fenagle the view spot a bit because it was adjusted to the floating pose instead of the normal standing pose.

[umbral oriole]

oooohh

i see

it might have to do with the animators

can you show me whats in the animator slots?

like where the fx layer is

[urban forum]

I'm using the gogo loco default settings, i think

[umbral oriole]

no i mean like this

[urban forum]

oh uhh

They're empty

[umbral oriole]

clcik customize on playble laers pls

[umbral oriole]

interesting

[urban forum]

I think I might just have to reimport the model again.. It's just that I'm not sure why the floating pose overrides the standing pose. So even going that route I'm not sure how to fix this

[umbral oriole]

yeah try it out

[urban forum]

If I save over the old fbx using the same name. Will all the metadata for the unity stuff I did be affected?

[umbral oriole]

it should overide trhe fbx shouldnt cause much of an issue

[urban forum]

Nope, still floating. Do you see anything that might be causing this?

[umbral oriole]

wait is it not in tpose in blender?

[urban forum]

It's in standing pose in blender

[umbral oriole]

yeah put it in tpose in blender then export as a new fbx

do you kow pumpkin?

[urban forum]

pumpkin?

[umbral oriole]

pumpkin avatar tools

[urban forum]

oh, nope

[umbral oriole]

ok ill dm you the link to put in vcc

[urban forum]

ok, cool

[signal meteor]

what is wrong with this bunny?

[umbral oriole]

looks like a missing script

[signal meteor]

wich one could be?

[umbral oriole]

do you havew vrcfury in the projectr?

[signal meteor]

yes

[umbral oriole]

hmmm

ok lets do this

does the avatrar have upload instructions?

[signal meteor]

nope

[umbral oriole]

damn

[signal meteor]

this is a model from sketchfab

my friend fixed the rig

and it worked

but i made it have a new suit toggle

wich is withered

i done this a lot of times alrady

[umbral oriole]

have you tried to use gesture manager?

[signal meteor]

how could that help?

i never use it

[umbral oriole]

just to see if the avatar works at all helps catch issues before attempting to upload

ok i know a package that helps find where a mising script is

[signal meteor]

please send

[umbral oriole]

https://kurotu.github.io/VRCQuestTools/

[signal meteor]

! I Have it

i just don't know how to use it lmao

this is a pc only build

[umbral oriole]

ok sick add it to your project it can detect missing scripts

[signal meteor]

i use it to turn materials for quest

[urban forum]

👏 We got, thank you my Guyy1000. Fine work

[umbral oriole]

happy to here

hope it all works out good for you bro

[signal meteor]

"remove missing scritps"?

[urban forum]

Me too, now I have to learn how to make trigger affects using gestures. This is gunna be fun 😅

[signal meteor]

making an animation with a toggle and then assigning it to a finger gesture works

like turning the particles on in that gesture

[umbral oriole]

no dont do that we want to find out what scripts may be missing might be something important

where is the missing script ?

[signal meteor]

what button to click?

i don't know how to tell L:C

[umbral oriole]

show me a screenshot of your screen

[signal meteor]

oki

what part

the console? tab?

[umbral oriole]

no the whoile screen especailly the pop up on the side for the missing script that should appear

[signal meteor]

???

[tiny spire]

Anyone know why I cant see the bounding box when trying to edit it in unity?

[umbral oriole]

did you add the quest tools yet?

[signal meteor]

yes

[umbral oriole]

is that whats currently importing?

[umbral oriole]

hmmm so you dont see the bounding box at all?

[signal meteor]

No, i am exporting the bunmy

In case it breaks more

Backup

[tiny spire]

nope :/

[umbral oriole]

got it good thinking

[umbral oriole]

make sure the globe icon on the top right is turned on

next to the camera icon

[tiny spire]

even with gizmo's on

they don't show up

ahh they are too small

i fixed it

Thanks for the help!

wait

no i didnt

[umbral oriole]

make sure the skinmeshrender is turned on in that icon i pointed out earlier

if you click it it should give a drop down

[signal meteor]

removed the grooming packages from fastfurshader

is aw a lot of errors mentioning it

lets try again

[umbral oriole]

good

[tiny spire]

it is indeed on in that drop down list

[umbral oriole]

hmmm

[tiny spire]

wait

pushing the

drop down menu though

showed the bound box

O.o

[umbral oriole]

uhh odd

[signal meteor]

how do i fix "compile errors" :(

[umbral oriole]

try gesture manager we will see if it works here

[umbral oriole]

check the console lets see whats wrong

[tiny spire]

Thank you for the help ❤️

[umbral oriole]

no worries

[umbral oriole]

ok have the avatar selected then using quest tools remove missing scripts

[signal meteor]

"there are no missing components" wtf

[umbral oriole]

looks like an issue with dark optimizer

[signal meteor]

i tried removing it before but i kept getting errors

ill remove it again and retry

and send logs

[frigid kraken]

hiii i have an issue :( VRC SDK wont open the 2nd thing. i keep clicking on it but its like "mmmh. no"

[umbral oriole]

try removing it from the project in vcc then try gesture manaqger

[umbral oriole]

like you click the arrow and nothing comes up?

[frigid kraken]

yeah it doesnt show up

it works with the models other outfits so i dont get why this doesnt

[umbral oriole]

ok usuallyu this happens when you have a bad internet

[frigid kraken]

interesting

[umbral oriole]

just close and reopen the project after making sure youyr wifi is good

[frigid kraken]

alr

like i said tho, it works with every other outfit on this model but ill try

[umbral oriole]

outfit? wait wdym? are you uploading the outfits?

[signal meteor]

it's broken

[umbral oriole]

yeah im lost here too hmm

can we vc and share screen so i can see more of whats up?

[signal meteor]

sure

[frigid kraken]

basically uploading the same model with different outfits because otherwise itd be too large for vrc to handle

but strangely restarting unity worked this time so i hope itll upload

seems like restarting unity just fixed all my issues. thats hilarious

xD

thanks tho!! you did help somehow in the end sooo

[umbral oriole]

lol knew that was the issue

glad to help

[frigid kraken]

well. i should try that one more often then. restarting fixes everything apparently xDD

have a good day my man

[copper carbon]

yo my avatar is stuck in the preview animation pose anyone know why?
(no preview animation isnt on)

[umbral oriole]

damn the bike pose of pain and suffering

your cooked bro

lol nah im kidding

there are ways to fix this

pumpkin avatar tools has a button to fix this

[left gull]

you should also make a duplicate of your model when doing animations to avoid it bugging out

[umbral oriole]

veryyy true

[copper carbon]

i wasnt even messing with animations

it just ... did that ig

[spark walrus]

hello, for some reason some materials keep turning pink even when i placed the correct poi. when unlocked they look fine but when they upload they turn pink. can anyone help?

[hard turtle]

how do i make particles fade out

[radiant night]

2 likely answers are you need the pro version or you need to use an older version of poi, look to where you found the asset and use the specific version of poi it says

Also your avatar has nudity, in the future try to crop it out, this server is 13+

[dire dagger]

How do I ungrey it- the model won’t show up in unity

[radiant night]

Click this

select the object first, then click it

[dire dagger]

Thank you!

[radiant night]

Its obvious you are completely new to unity/making avatars, if you need help you can DM me

Ill try but unity is very jank and I may not be able to help will everything

[somber sequoia]

Color over time, use a gradient with the final color having alpha of 0

[quasi crypt]

I have a question is it true if we dont have tags on our model does vr chat deletes the avatars themselves?

[somber sequoia]

I have never heard that

[hushed sphinx]

I asked yesterday but ill try again!
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!

[somber sequoia]

that'd be neat.

[lunar trail]

I find every time I go into VRChat with FBT, I have to go into the advanced FBT settings and offset my chest tracker. Is there a way to save this offset so I don't have to do it every time I log in?

[barren tundra]

Wasnt expecting this to be this frustrating. Im trying to make a 2 handed sword. I have a constraint to position it then a look at constraint to try and get it to "point" at the other hand. It is very much disagreeing with me at the moment.

[heavy zephyr]

Late reply so won't ping but the easiest way imo would be to make your On toggle animation last as long as the audio file you're playing. Then, in your logic, transition to a "Waiting to be turned Off" state with the conditions being empty and Exit Time set to 1 (Exit Time 1 means this transition will be taken after the previous animation has played exactly 100% of it's duration). You can leave that state to just be your music box On but with nothing playing/going on.

Have a third state "Interrupted" that you transition to from On if your toggle parameter is now Off. Have that state play the screech sound.

Finally both "Waiting to be turned Off" and "Interrupted" can transition back to your "Off" state, the first one, immediately after your toggle parameter is set to Off. The second, after the screech sound is done playing (using the same method of having an animation the length of your audio clip and your transition with Exit Time 1).

[slow lintel]

can someone help me figure out why my hair slides off my head when I move? there's no hair root bone to transform the physbones to

[gilded turret]

wont upload

doesnt say why

[somber sequoia]

any errors in the console? errors are red.

[gilded turret]

nope

already deleted it all

new eden trash mdoels

break on upload

[somber sequoia]

not much to go on then

[sweet crypt]

so i added gonsos immersive phone system and this happened. does anyone know a fix?

[agile terrace]

i cant get it to run, i dont know why its not working its fully built

[queen isle]

I made a particle that has Sub Emitters on collision and death. In Unity it's completely fine, but when in vr it's constantly colliding with something and it shows for other people too! Any ideas on what to look into for troubleshooting?

[sweet crypt]

my hand is suck in this position even when the asset isnt enabled. how do i fix this?

[umbral oriole]

have you tried deleting the poiyomi from the project and then adding it back again?

[umbral oriole]

yes and no. if the avatar is public without the appropriate tags then yeah very likely to get taken down or for your account to get suspended, but if its private unless someone goes out of their way to report the avatar there is nothing to worry about

[quasi crypt]

oh okay thank you

[umbral oriole]

very intersting i would have to think this through and prob expiriment in unity to figure out how to setup the conditions for what you have in mind. wait ok i think i know so you can set it up so when the music is playing a param is turned on that is basicly music is playing when it ends the param turns off then you can set the condition for if music is playing true then play the audio when you turn it off. i think its doable

[umbral oriole]

well thats your issue right there. hair needs bones. if the bones are missing you have a bigger problem. what hair are you using? you might need to find a new one

[dim glen]

no need to find a new one

adding root bones is easyand if you need help making one just lmk

also could be weightpainting but it sounds like it may not be parented like aforementioned

[umbral oriole]

woah what the heck????? uhmmm what does the phone system do btw? looks like a bone maybe texture issue im not sure

[visual ferry]

dose anyone know how to make an avatar like this guy i have all the images I'm thinking abut using bones and driver in blender then import them to unity but I'm not really sure but i really want to do it 🤣 i have all the images for it https://www.tiktok.com/@nologicmoments/video/7480141310347857174?q=davie vr chat&t=1751089862555

[umbral oriole]

true but honestly most people arent going to bother going through blender to fix it plus weight painting hair is a nightmare

[sweet crypt]

its a system to let me text people and other inresting stuff

[umbral oriole]

woah holy damn thats cool af

[dim glen]

its not too bad if you preface it with a data transfer tho it can be difficult touching that up if you dont have a lot of experience with it

i see your point though

its whatever the user wants to do

[umbral oriole]

some worlds have weird colliders like for instance some places like popcorn palaze have fog that can collide with particles so maybe that could be the cause

[visual ferry]

just ping me if anyone can help and not busy thank you!

[queen isle]

Turns out there was some mesh colliders that made the interactions funky.

[umbral oriole]

what do you need help with?

[visual ferry]

just making a 2d avatar like i said above

[umbral oriole]

ohhhh

yep good luck on that looks interesting

will be super impressive if you can pull it off

[visual ferry]

thanks lmao

ill find a way

[sweet crypt]

EXACTLY!! I want it so bad but it fucks up my face and locks my hand

[umbral oriole]

hmm very weird i cant imagine how it even doing that i get the hand some prefabs have a thing where it animates the hand bones to certain position

you can prob find the animation in the fx layer for the prefab

but idk about the face

[sweet crypt]

If I get motivation currently teaching unity

[umbral oriole]

looks lioke some bones are going haywire but no idea

[tardy nymph]

good!

thx

[dim glen]

np!

I recently added piercings onto my newest model in blender (I ctrl+J the head and piercings to combine into one mesh then edited each blendshape so that the piercings moved alongside the face correctly) however when i imported it into unity it lost its t-pose thus disabling biker pose and gesture manager. I tried enforcing tpose in the rig configurator but it will not stick.
The issue message in the console states that it cannot generate any normals for blendshapes on the head as the mesh has no smoothing groups. I thought that it may be an issue with my unity import settings, like the import being set to calculate, but when I tried to go into my model's import settings the program stated that it does not support fbx models and refused to open.

I was hoping I could get some help on this because ive never had this issue before so im not quite sure what the fix is.

[wicked valley]

can someone simplify, i have like -2 braincells and need help

[ornate stump]

You might have to explain what you're trying to do.

[wicked valley]

[rancid anvil]

?

[junior void]

no idea but did you go to the gogo discord? if anyone knows, its them

[stray lintel]

I'm trying to add a World constraint to my avatar menu, but its not toggling correctly.

[tardy nymph]

uuh

im stuck

i forgot how to add materials

[tardy nymph]

can someone teach me how to setup alpha and other textures work in quest etc?

[junior void]

quest does not support alpha/transparency

[tardy nymph]

oh no...

i have make a workaround then..

[tardy nymph]

so.. thats why it got stuck at something about textures and shadings...

well! time to work with textures then...

[foggy torrent]

can someone help me with outfits?

[somber sequoia]

feel free to ask specific questions

[foggy torrent]

thx

well

how do i set it up generaly

i looked up a tut but it don't rly work

like toggles

[somber sequoia]

can you be more specific? there's no one way of doing this

[foggy torrent]

uhm

i'm trying to set up two different shirts

for my avi

and the shirt stays the same in game

so can anyone hlp me?

idk what to do

[somber sequoia]

you'll probably have to explain more specifically what you've done so far, and what isn't working. Again, there are so many ways to do this

[foggy torrent]

so i set up the animator, made the different animations, put them in the animater made transitions etc. and put them in the sexprecion menu thing so it pops up in game.

but the shirt don't switch

@somber sequoia

[arctic ginkgo]

Make sure the parameter names match EXACTLY between the animator parameter and the expressions parameter

[foggy torrent]

ok

it is

idk what now

[ornate stump]

Are you actually having trouble making cloth switch toggle, or make cloth attach to the body?

[foggy torrent]

cloth switch toggl

toggle*

yeah

[ornate stump]

Try using gesture manager and its debug menu to see how the layer is doing.

[foggy torrent]

ight

[ornate stump]

Also screenshot the debug menu to confirm that you're looking at the right place.

[foggy torrent]

where do i acces it?

[ornate stump]

Which "it"?

[foggy torrent]

the debug menu

[ornate stump]

You see the "Debug" tab in gesture manager component in play mode?

[foggy torrent]

oooh yeah

so

what should i see there

?

@ornate stump

[ornate stump]

Animator Layer

[foggy torrent]

what?

it don't say hat

[ornate stump]

What you're looking at?

[foggy torrent]

debug menu

gesture manager

[ornate stump]

Screenshot it.

[ornate stump]

That's parameter list. You have to change to Animator Layer at the button above.

[ornate stump]

Do you see the animator layer that you added your animation to?

[foggy torrent]

no

[ornate stump]

That mean you haven't assign your animator controller to avatar descriptor FX layer.

[foggy torrent]

i have

wait waht

[ornate stump]

Double check.

[foggy torrent]

nowwwwww

thxxxxxxxxx

[umbral oriole]

best advice i can give is export as a new fbx and use pumpkin to copy over materials and physbones. sucks when the fbx breaks honestly

[umbral oriole]

oohhh dont worry about it. its a common message to see with some vrcfury things if you donty see issues in playmode then its all good

[umbral oriole]

can you explain?

[feral solstice]

hey guys im a beginner and i have no idea what this means can anyone help me out?

[umbral oriole]

you dont need to worry about yellow errors

its the red ones that are the reall issues

what are you trying to do btw?

[feral solstice]

just upload the avi nut im having issues it says i have to fix the issues but idk what issues need fiximg

[junior void]

might want to show us what messages you are referring to

i have a feeling its the upload screen statistics which are mostly fine and the red hexagons only mean bad performance

[umbral oriole]

where is it saying your having issues?

[ornate stump]

Have you looked in "Review Any Alerts"?

[feral solstice]

guh no

[ornate stump]

So, take a look.

[feral solstice]

alright i see a few auto fixes im gonne see if itll work then

[feral solstice]

im missing a prefab and i cant find it ill search later cuhz i am too bummed for this

[umbral oriole]

hm? interesting

[feral solstice]

im lowkey lazy LOL tysm for helping me out though i appreciate it

[limpid zephyr]

I have this problem. The Head is sideways but it's not sideways on the fbx archive. How do I fix it?

[crystal whale]

Does anybody know how to remove a rusks hands so i can add a glove or something? there's blendshapes for the arms but not the hands

[spark walrus]

Sorry, does anyone know how to fix hands that don't move in VRChat but the expressions work? I have already been changing or correcting things in the animator and for now I cannot find a solution

[spark walrus]

Thank you I’ll try that!

[hushed sphinx]

I think so as well I was experimenting a ton last night but I appreciate you replying!

[lusty thunder]

So im working in gravity sketch rn. It's fun and easy to use in vr, but I can't figure out how to do the bones. For someone who hasn't got a high spec pc, is there a way I could theoretically set up bones and texture the model?

This is my progress after an hour.

[arctic ginkgo]

Afaik you can't create a vrchat ready model entirely in gravity sketch. Try exporting the model once it is finished and importing into blender to rig it

[crystal whale]

How do i get this to act as an arm? it's connected to the armature of the avatar in blender, all the bones are in the right place, but it just wont act like a damn arm.

[junior void]

youll need to share how you added it

[heavy zephyr]

Did you see the reply I gave you? If not, here it is : #avatar-help message

[umbral oriole]

modular avatar armature merge

or vrcfury armature link

on the armature of the arm

[crystal whale]

Tried it. Still didn't work

[umbral oriole]

you can rotate the head bone in this fbx screen and save it

[umbral oriole]

show me how you did it

[crystal whale]

I took the rusk FBX into blender, deleted the polys of the arm, added the cyber arm, merged the mesh of the arm to the body, then exported as FBX into Unity. After that i set it up as an avatar (After re=adding all the bones).

[steady summit]

Is there any way to copy the layers Gesture Left and Gesture Right to a whole different unity project?

[limpid zephyr]

nvm I solved the problem

[umbral oriole]

interesting

hmm wait did you not weight paint the arm?

[umbral oriole]

as far as im aware no. you would need to carry over the animations too

well you could make a copy of the fx delete all the params and layers besides the one you need

then export that fx with dependencies

and using avatar 3.0 manager (its a package you can add it from vcc) you can merge it with the fx you have inmind

[steady summit]

my issue is that I made these layers from scratch and I need them for all my avatars and it's so tedious to redo them everytime xD

so I don't care about the animations at all, really only the tree and the connections etc

[steady summit]

how would I export it?

I got avatar manager

[crystal whale]

The bones are already there and connected right, supposedly

[steady summit]

also in the Avatar manager I can only paste an 'Avatar' , I don't see an option to add just a controller

[umbral oriole]

just right click on the fx and export

[somber sequoia]

don't export from Unity, just load the .fbx into blender

[umbral oriole]

no this is for an fx not an fbx lol

[steady summit]

okay got it exported

[umbral oriole]

you need to weight pain the arm to the bones if you want it to follow the bones

[somber sequoia]

oh wow I totally misread that

[steady summit]

now I got both controllers in my new project and it seems it did export the layers I need, now I just have to transfer them into my new controller

[somber sequoia]

but still - if you mean the FX animator, it's just a file on disk, no need to export. Just make sure you save (ctrl+s) and reload (ctrl+r) to be sure any cached changes are written.

[umbral oriole]

so basicly you will put the avatar where is says you should and click on fx scroll to the bottom and you will see where you can merge fx layers

[umbral oriole]

can you show me what it looks like in blender pls

[somber sequoia]

Does it have weight paint? Did you go into pose mode in Blender to see if it moves properly?

[steady summit]

Thank you so so much! Crazy how I redid this every damn time since years hahaha ❤️

it worked

[crystal whale]

Apparently not

[umbral oriole]

im glad i could help

hapy creating

[static sparrow]

ok so im ATTEMPTING to add a wing flap to the fly animation. it looks like it works in the unity preview but in game it doesnt. idk what im doing im very new to animations

yes i did ask the goloco discord and they are no help

[somber sequoia]

definitely do that!

[crystal whale]

how?

[somber sequoia]

select the armature, switch to pose mode, rotate the arm bones to see if the mesh moves. If not, check your armature modifier, or check the weight paint.

it might not be painted at all

or not to the right bone names - if it came with its own armature then you'd need to rename the vertex groups in the arm before you merge it with the body.

[iron dove]

Why did my avi validation failed?

help

[somber sequoia]

insufficient information

[iron dove]

wdym

[somber sequoia]

I mean there's no way we can tell without more information

[iron dove]

hold up\

@somber sequoia

[somber sequoia]

sorry but that's not useful either. Are there an errors? Errors are red. Post the first 2-3 if so.

[somber sequoia]

you don't want the GestureManager object on your avatar, just put it in the scene itself at the root.

otherwise still not much to go on here, unfortunately

[iron dove]

ohhhh

I see, gotcha

[hushed sphinx]

Oops! Weird sorry I didn't see that thanks that's helps a ton!

[heavy zephyr]

No problem, I didn't ping you last time because my reply was a few hours later ^^"

Let me know if that works

[hushed sphinx]

Absolutely will do!

[hard turtle]

whats an easy way to achieve heat distortion effects-

[heavy zephyr]

Transparent texture with normal map for cheap. Otherwise there's specific shaders that do distortion quite well but they use an additional pass

[hard turtle]

yeh im looking for those shaders

just curious where to lok

i usually make everything from scratch but since this avatars for myself im kitbashing xD

[iron dove]

I'm trying to apply the boombox I bought

but what is load in background

nvm I found it

[heavy zephyr]

Search for Doppel's distortion shader, should be easy to find

[heavy zephyr]

What is hard to understand with this error? It's written clear as say. Your avatar is way too big.

[copper carbon]

yo my unity keeps freezing for some reason whenever i do certain things anyone know why? (i left it for 30 minutes to see if it would fix itself and nothing changed)

it gets stuck here quite frequently

[heavy zephyr]

Did you select way too many objects?

[copper carbon]

i selected 1...

im guessing its some glitch with this menu thingie i was using cus it hasnt been updated for awhile

[heavy zephyr]

Probably yeah

[copper carbon]

so it turns out its a specific menu which REALLY doesnt like to be interacted with for some reason .... i didnt save :<

[iron dove]

I just made a headpat toggle and it just doesn't seem to react. what should I do?

No errors, just nothing on console

[copper carbon]

check if the contact is working properly
check the tags of the contact especially
if all that is right then check the FX layer, it may never be transitioning due to a typo or incorrect setup
if its transitioning then its being overriden by something in a layer below it
looking at that screenshot shows its something in the FX layer (i dont quite know vrcfury toggles so im going off current knowledge)

[iron dove]

the fx layer is fine if you mean toggles

the toggle works fine

it just it doesn't react

[copper carbon]

then its being overriden by something

[iron dove]

hold on let me try without the audio source\

I think it's just something with unity honestly

let me try that ingame

someone had the same issue as me

[copper carbon]

honestly i would stay away from vrcfury for stuff you are adding
sure its more work to add but its much easier to troubleshoot
i only use vrcfury for prefabs tbh

[somber sequoia]

that bit with armature link and full controller really seems like over-complicating something that's pretty simple.

[hard badger]

hello! I have a litte problem and I really dont know how to fix it and Ialso dont really know what channel to use but I hope this one is fine

so I was in a avatar world looking at different avis and i clicked on one and my game instatly crashed and now everytime I start the game it crashes within secunds

is there anyone who can halp? 🥺

[junior void]

You can go to the vrchat website and change your avatar outside of the game there

Youll need to log in ofc

[hard badger]

thank you so so much I am new to this 😩 🙏🏽

[iron dove]

but i dont wanna animate it

this looks easy

[copper carbon]

well thats ur own problem then tbh
animating it is more tedius but its easier later on if you wanna tweak something or something ends up being broken and you dont fix it for like 3 months

[patent umbra]

heya, I got a question - I know the upper chest bone is optional and not required for the avatar to work, however I was curious to know if having one (properly set up and weight painted ofc) would increase the fidelity of the IK and FBT, i.e. does it even get used at all in vrc?

[steady summit]

any idea how to fix this or how this happened?

[somber sequoia]

It does get used, though there's only one chest sensor tracked by VRChat so I'm not sure I've noticed it makes any significant difference

[copper carbon]

not to mention having an upper chest tracker would be hard to mount and very uncomfortable

i was able to get exact movement with chest hip thigh ankle foot and upper arm

[patent umbra]

I see, am using a 6 point tracking setup so I am heavily relying on vrchats IK to fill in the gaps, my main concern is if the upper chest increases the fidelity in that configuration

[somber sequoia]

SlimeVR supports it, if you actually want to try.

[patent umbra]

it sounds like thats the case based on ur replies, or am I reading it wrong?

[somber sequoia]

it's just VRChat doesn't have that explicit.

[copper carbon]

slimevr supports up to 20 trackers at once lmao
also i have no way to mount it cus i already have a chest harness and a hip tracker attached to the chest tracker so mounting another main tracker above or below the harness would be hard

[somber sequoia]

we're straying into #full-body-tracking but I actually have and use a waist tracker along with hips and chest - again though slimeVR kinda averages all that into a thing that VRChat supports, which iirc is just the one waist tracker? It does seem to help, though how much, dunno.

[copper carbon]

chest in general would help with tracking but i would recommend using standable for that

[copper carbon]

vrchat supports up to 8 trackers

[somber sequoia]

I wouldn't really recommend standable.

Yep, I'm aware.

[copper carbon]

we should prolly move to #full-body-tracking

lmao

[somber sequoia]

well it started about whether to actually use an upper chest bone on an avatar - I think the answer is if you think the body moves better, sure, but does it actually help if you use FBT? eh...... I'm not convinced it's noticable.

maybe I'll try again, I have one avatar that uses one, and it's been a while

[patent umbra]

I was more looking for a technically backed reply, as in a quote maybe that I oversaw in the documentation on whether or not the IK takes advantage of the upper chest at all

reason is I wanna get rid of it is to make weight painting easier lol

[somber sequoia]

oh yes - that it would do for sure.

[copper carbon]

i mean it would
but it wouldnt do much

[patent umbra]

but if its used imma put in more effort and include it if that makes sense lol

[somber sequoia]

I don't think it's worth the weight painting efforts, but probably that depends on the avatar.

[copper carbon]

honestly i would say just leave out the upper chest bone if it means you have to weight paint it

[patent umbra]

alrighty, appreciate the replies

having only 4 skin weights to work with is making it hell

[somber sequoia]

yup, that's the other problem here

[copper carbon]

my current main doesnt have an upper chest bone and she works fine

[stray lintel]

Ok, got it working, now its stuck at the world spawn, and it's not moving with my avatar

[iron dove]

I actually found the problem in the end

the toggle wasn't there

lmao

when I entered the game the toggle dissapeared

[copper carbon]

do u not test with gesture manager?

[iron dove]

I did the weird thing the toggle was there

[copper carbon]

this is why i dont use vrcfury toggles

[iron dove]

same goes for my frying pan, people don't see it ingame for some reason

but in unity you can see it

[somber sequoia]

your avatar has a frying pan?

[copper carbon]

ive seen an avatar with a half life gravity thing

[somber sequoia]

I've been really tempted to do that

[iron dove]

Yeah

[iron dove]

I'm an idiot it wasn't synced in the fx layer

🤦‍♀️

Also the reciever type wasn't on enter WHICH WAS THE WHOLE ISSUE

so the whole issue was the reciever type

issue solved people

@somber sequoiaapparently it wasn't vrc fury, it was the type of the reciever

[somber sequoia]

yep, makes sense

[iron dove]

because I knew I did everything right

another issue, why is the blush like that?

[somber sequoia]

looks like it should have some alpha transparency but doesn't

[iron dove]

where do I find it?

[somber sequoia]

I don't use fury for this, but it wouldn't be there anyway, transparency is a material property

[steady summit]

anyone knows how to fix it? I checked all my layers and animations and everything is with Write Defaults checked T.T

[somber sequoia]

Got any VRC Fury-added animators? look there too

[steady summit]

nope I am not using Fury

this broke after I imported the layers from my other project a few hours ago

[vivid dove]

do you all use blender or unity to make your avatars? most places i see start with blender and then go to unity, but how do you add multiple clothes and hairs etc

[somber sequoia]

you must use Unity. Blender you use to model/rig though.

personally I add clothing in Blender but that's just one way

[iron dove]

For me it depends. if you can't really make the cloth work I'm going to blender

or either skinned mesh renderer

[copper carbon]

i do mesh and textures in blender then do everything else in unity
like toggles, shaders ect

[vivid dove]

so do you just hide the extras as you work?

[copper carbon]

what do you mean extras?

[somber sequoia]

I have so many normally hidden parts in my blender projects 🙂

[umbral oriole]

you need to make a parent contraint to the avatar root

[stray lintel]

Ok

Oh also

Uhhh im trying to animate it

Like animate an object in the world constraint

Trying to make a stage effect

[untold minnow]

why cant I click "Prepare you content"?

[untold minnow]

stupid question, my bad

[quick osprey]

does anyone have an invite to jerry's face tracking discord? i need the split shapekey tool he mentions in a video but none of the links are working

[copper carbon]

would an invalid parameter used in the motion time thingie in a state (in the FX) cause an "avatar validation failed" error?

[dim jasper]

I gotchu, check DMs

[iron dove]

I figured out I had 3 types of blushes and I found a solution. thanks to kaizen

[vernal idol]

Anyone know how to not get the pupils (red) not show up on top of the new eye texture (blue) ? I've been trying to make the pupils transparent by erasing them but they'll just show up white when I save it on the model

I've been using clip studio paint to "edit" things lol

[copper carbon]

check if "alpha is transparency" is enabled in unity (click the texture in the assets file explorer thingie inside of unity)

[vernal idol]

okie

It isn't, but after taking this picture it now is applied

What should I do now

[iron dove]

@somber sequoia thanks bro I figured out something

[copper carbon]

click apply and then check the material in scene view

[wet flame]

Hi I'm very very new to VRchat. I found a cool space marine avatar and joined my friend today and apparently he was seeing the avatar as like 20 feet tall. In the expression menu it listed my height as 2.45 meters or something like that, which I adjusted to 1.80m but my friend was still seeing me as VERY tall. I could adjust my height to like <1m which made my character appear as a realistic size to others, but it made my camera drop very low to the ground like I was actually tiny. Is there any advice anyone can give me to properly adjust either my character scale or camera height? Playing on Quest 3 through Steam

[copper carbon]

thats a glitchy avi

[wet flame]

Ah, so it's unlikely an issue that setting will be able to fix? That's unfortunate because it was like the coolest one I found but the scale was all wonky

[copper carbon]

the height in the quick settings section should directly correspond to the distance between the eye level and the groud

in avatars that work

[wet flame]

Ok well thank you for the reply, I'll just keep looking around for other avatars!

[copper carbon]

there is a world called "prismic's avatar search" which is great for getting avatars

[vernal idol]

Would the pupils not show up if I erase them now since i got the transparency setting thing on?

[copper carbon]

if the shader is set up right

but if your making an avi for quest good luck with transparency

[vernal idol]

it's for pcvr

;-;

I'll see what I can do

[steady summit]

guys please help me, I somehow broke my avatar T.T
no idea what I did different than in my other projects besides importing FX layers from a different project this time. Apparently there should be no issues
Now I get this message, everytime I press on play it's paused by default and none of my toggles work anymore.
I checked my WDs with AV3 Manager and fixed an apparent issue, now everything is good in there but the error message still appears.
I already tried resetting avatar with AV3 as well and restarted Unity, nothing helps

[somber sequoia]

show your playable layers in the avatar descriptor?

[steady summit]

got rid of all of them besides FX

[copper carbon]

i highly recommend you learn poiyomi

would an avatar with these stats be compatible for quest?

download size and uncompressed size are within limits

nvm apparently the answer was yes

[steady summit]

if I accidently unpack prefab completely, can I just reconnect the prefab?

[rapid needle]

Im in need of some help if anyone can! So, im trying to upload a model for a friend who bought one and wanted me to upload for him, yet every time I try it always fails the security checks. It barely has any toggles (A folder of a handful of expression toggles, a folder with 4 item toggles, and gogo.) And maybe 2 physbones.
I've tried making a new project, decreasing the texture sizes n stuff, deleting the avi from his account and reuploading.
He contacted VRChat support for help, but all they really said was that the file size was too big for them to do anything?? Tho in unity, everything is fine, not to mention I was able to upload the same avi on my own account just fine. Anyone know of any other options I can try?

[somber sequoia]

no

[steady summit]

maybe that's why my avatar is broken now

cause I remember doing that at some point

[dry phoenix]

Btw does anyone know how to texture an avatar with a moving background? I’ve seen some quest avatars have it

I’ve seen some color changing on the quest too IK it’s technically not the same as PC but if anyone knows how I would love a vid or a tutorial you recommend

[arctic ginkgo]

moving background? wdym?

[arctic ginkgo]

also it is the same as PC, if you're talking about hue shift. It's a shader setting in VRChat/Mobile/Toon Standard

[dry phoenix]

Like the background texture the avatar moves with it like the show chowder (idk how else to describe)

[dry phoenix]

Interesting so I can change colors and saturations?

[arctic ginkgo]

no not saturation

i mean

you could use a detail texture if you wanted to isolate an area and then change the color that way

[arctic ginkgo]

best guess would be using matcaps

[desert elk]

theoretically you can, but it'll reverse all of the edits you did

[dim jasper]

Question for any avatar creators in here. My avatar’s eyes have a shader that reflects the environment, for example in a movie world the movie will reflect in the avi’s eyes. I’m having an issue where the reflection will randomly stop rendering, and the eyes will go to a default shader. When I blink it comes back again for an instant, but then goes away again. I’m wondering if y’all know a way to fix this. I’m thinking it’s something happening on my end rather than globally, It could even be something in vrc settings, the avi was working fine a couple months ago. Any ideas are appreciated :)

[somber sequoia]

is it just LTCGI?

[dim jasper]

I have a poiyomi shader with high reflective strength on a transparent lens material that goes over the top of the actual eyes.

like this

Reflections look like this when it’s actually working

[distant nimbus]

theres waterguns on an avi i bought, but i cant grab them off my hips

[quasi briar]

Delete the mesh in Blender

[vernal idol]

Ah, I'll have to download blender lmao

[surreal salmon]

i love vrchat

[proper storm]

can you give pos constraints the ability to bounce around a bit when trying to hit the source of the constraint

[snow goblet]

no help can really be given without more info

vrchat checks the stats and some objects on your avatar for patterns consistent with most crashers (speculative, but i recall hearing about this in a developer update), so try simply reducing the max amounts of things like particles, meshes/materals, or using another shader temporarily to see if it passes

[umbral oriole]

yeah especailly particles

cause max particle size can be incredibly high for no reason just rurn most maz sizes down to 200-100 and your gucci

[open topaz]

What could be causing a material to look like this on maps that have heavy PostFX the shader im using is Lilltoon

[upbeat zodiac]

hey anyone have any idea whats happening here? no its not a physbone or colider issue (already tried that) non of my animations are touching it, and the model is an edit of the regulus (but its just a translation with like 3 extra blendshapes lolll)

ive had this avatar for a bit, and it only does this sometimes and its only started doing it in game recently

[tardy nymph]

uhhh what

also i think because of that the all the viseme broke

[tardy nymph]

also should i be worried about that? it doesn't have a "feet"

the bone isn't weighted to anything

also this isn't going away...

[white sundial]

Anybody has any good videos or courses on how to retopologize a face in blender

This is the closest i got but this isnt good to animate cause i had to apply the multires to it before baking maps in substance painter

A lot of videos on youtube are from many years ago

[distant summit]

Did an update drastically lower the amount of constraint an avatar can have? because all of a sudden I can't upload an avatar with Dextro's Clone System because "too many constraints"

ah nevermind. They broke Dextro's recording and playback option a while back and never fixed it

[stray lintel]

does uh

Anyone know how to use this shader https://lukasong.booth.pm/items/4236993

[somber sequoia]

wow that seems like it'd be annoying

[teal laurel]

or not apparently

amazing

uhh #general-media then ig

[late heath]

why are there weird lines on his face (only in unity)
is it because head topology bad?

[tardy nymph]

just noticed this.. how do i set this thing

[ornate stump]

https://youtu.be/rRAnDMUbWt8?t=81

[tardy nymph]

i tested it but it didn't matter? it worked as expected

[ornate stump]

Then you can just ignore that.

[tardy nymph]

bit jittery (i think there was a warning for that) though

[tardy nymph]

how do i set it back to default pose..?

[sick loom]

are those the inverted normals being visible?

[sick loom]

maybe the geometry for the outline is following the shapes of the eyes too much?

[late heath]

most likely, ill probably try to change the outline topology in the morning so it doesnt have eyeholes in the front

[tardy nymph]

is there are keybinds for that or i messed up

[wicked valley]

how do i reduce them?

ive tried getting rid of assets

[tardy nymph]

because.. i don't want to go through the process of animating visemes just to get the default pose

[sick loom]

Are you previewing the animation in the animation tab?

[tardy nymph]

yes..?

wait i havn't clicked preview

i closed the animation tab

still not in a A pose

[tardy nymph]

i think i messed something up

or something isn't turned off

[junior void]

because of the pose?

[tardy nymph]

default pose is this

[junior void]

the pose is entered every time you work with animations - and is not automatically exited. this is why you should either always click preview so it goes out of the pose. if you forget, you need to use pumpkins tools to reset it

many people also make a dupe of their avi in unity, animate that, and then yeet the dupe for this reason also

its a unity thing and it sucks, youll have to get used to dealing with it or working around it

[tardy nymph]

i intalled pumpkins tools because i don't want to fight

i had enough of unity being unity

ok...

[sudden violet]

Parameter menu

Even if you got rid of assets, if their installation added parameters, they are still in the menu

[wicked valley]

ive goten rid of like 30 param's but it still says 264

[sudden violet]

Bools count as one, floats/ints as... 7, if i remember correctly. 8

If that helps

[wicked valley]

ive gotten rid of a load so i shouldnt have any issues

but its staying the same

[sudden violet]

Got a screenshot?

[wicked valley]

im not at my pc rn

[sudden violet]

Ah rip. Are you using something like VRCfury to add more menus?

[wicked valley]

yeah

[sudden violet]

Could be something to do with that then

I don't use vrcfury for menus, but i assume it just adds everything onto your parameters menu

[somber sequoia]

float/ints are 8: https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/animator-parameters/#parameter-types

[sudden violet]

Damn, i always mix it up between 7 and 8, thanks!

[somber sequoia]

Also you don't actually have to remove the parameters, you just have to have them not-synced - so you can uncheck that box.
However, this makes them local only....

[sudden violet]

Also good point, nice one

[somber sequoia]

yeah I have a few that I've just marked local rather than rework menus I share between avatar variants

I really like to have my menus as close as possible to the same layout for all avatars, it helps a lot with muscle memory

[umbral oriole]

there is a vrcfury component called parameter compressor that shoud doi it for you

[somber sequoia]

note that it's a bit of a compromise on performance

[umbral oriole]

you dont need to do all that. vrcfury parameter compressor should keep it down. i use it all the time even if im not over param limits

[umbral oriole]

sometimes it can be fixed by checking this legacy blendshapes on the fbx

[echo gate]

how do i make the butt jiggle this is ruth its been 5 hours

[junior void]

Looks like the weight on the bum is missing. Youd check that in blender

[echo gate]

also how to input it to blender

im slow

[junior void]

You open the fbx of the avi in blender

You shouldnt upload to an account thats not yours

If he gets banned, so will you and vice versa

[echo gate]

i paid for all the assits....

XD

that is my account btw

[junior void]

the account reply wasnt for you, the other guy deleted his message

[echo gate]

ohh sorry

[junior void]

also, why the friend request? i dont see the need

[echo gate]

ohh i was needing a lot of help im freshly new on blender

and i was using the other build as a test

to see how the bone phys works

[junior void]

but you realize im not the only person here knowing blender right? and as you see, i only take a small break every now and then so i dont have the time to guide you through all of it. chances are better here so others see our conversation too

[ebon jay]

how do i convert my unity package as a ssp for substance painter?

this is what im working with im very confused

[cinder frost]

So is there a way to make a physbone spin infinitely?

I want people to be able to smack the propellor on this character to spin it

[somber sequoia]

haha

that'll be fun

[cinder frost]

Well if it’s achievable

I don’t know what kind of PhysBone settings could allow that

[somber sequoia]

probably set Pull to 0

[cinder frost]

Also don’t know how to make the collision actually work with the physbone

Since you’d need it going in three directions but somehow have the collision on all three work on the root

[somber sequoia]

you'd just use normal collision but use limits to constrain it to the one axis

[cinder frost]

That doesn’t solve the issue though

You still need 3 pronged collision

[somber sequoia]

not sure I understand what you mean

[arctic ginkgo]

i would try using the advanced settings and setting the pull to 0, momentum to something pretty high (maybe 1) and stiffness to 0

also if you don't want it to move by itself, set immobile to 1

[cinder frost]

Each propeller blade needs to have collision that equally controls the root bone

[somber sequoia]

ohhh I see what you mean

[cinder frost]

I’m wondering if there’s some hacky constraint setup to make that work

[arctic ginkgo]

not something that would give them all collision that i can think of

you could make it so people have to grab it instead, then you can animate stuff with parameters

or maybe measuring if any of the colliders have moved actually

physbone rotation could work?

[cinder frost]

I was thinking about doing contacts on either side of each blade

[arctic ginkgo]

that's something else i was thinking

you can use contacts to measure the movement potentially as well

[cinder frost]

Yeah

Will probably do that

[arctic ginkgo]

use an on entire contact

that will let you set a min enter velocity

[modest pulsar]

Why does my view position not showup even when the model's set to 0 0 0 on position

Like the lil arrow thing where you can change the position of your view just cease's to exist all of sudden

[arctic ginkgo]

check that you have gizomos enabled

this button

[hollow mesa]

If my avatar's gesture manager is missing do i need to make the gestures? if so how do i do that?

[dim glen]

go to tools and click on gesture manager emulator

[arctic ginkgo]

gesture manager does not make gestures

[hollow mesa]

then how do i make them

[hollow mesa]

i only see vrc fury

[arctic ginkgo]

gesture manager is an avatar emulator used for testing. Basically it recreates the menu from VRChat so you can test it on your computer

[hollow mesa]

ah i see

[dim glen]

do you have the package for it donwloaded in your project files on creator companion?

[hollow mesa]

i mean i could find it

[arctic ginkgo]

what exactly do you mean by gestures? do you mean hand animations or do you mean expressions controlled by gestures?

[chrome osprey]

how change the eyes on my avatar plss ?

[hollow mesa]

i mean hand anim yes

[arctic ginkgo]

the hand animations should be on the avatar by default

[hollow mesa]

adding it rn

[hollow mesa]

oh ok

[arctic ginkgo]

as long as everything is rigged properly and you have it setup as humanoid

[hollow mesa]

well i found the addon so w

[hollow mesa]

ok good wasnt too sure so wanted to check thx

[arctic ginkgo]

you can remove or change them if you want by creating a custom gesture layer, but if your gesture layer just uses the default then you'll be fine as well

or something like gogo loco's gesture layer

[hollow mesa]

oh ok

btw i am correct that using vrc fury adds gogo automaticly? i asked bc normaly it did but it didnt work one time so am i schizto?

[arctic ginkgo]

no it does not

you need to add the Gogo Loco VRCFury prefab

and ofc have VRCFury installed in the project

[junior void]

And gogo package

[arctic ginkgo]

well yeah, i assume they have that

that's how you get the prefab

you can also install it manually if you want to. That's what I prefer to do

[hollow mesa]

one problem

pretty sure i get my vrc fury thru the creator companion

it always apears as a tool

i dont think i get to se its folder?

[junior void]

What

[hollow mesa]

im not sure how to explain

im basing this off memory ill just check myself

[hollow mesa]

do u mean a version of gogo for vrc fury or ru saying add gogo and vrc fury

[somber sequoia]

in what way?

[arctic ginkgo]

1. Install VRCFury
2. Install Gogo Loco
3. Add the Gogo Loco Prefab onto your avatar

it's specifcally the VRCFury Gogo Loco Prefab because it's designed to be added using VRCFury. VRCFury does pretty much everything automatically, so it should be drag and drop.

[hollow mesa]

ok thank you

ill have to put it all inf irst so good luck me ig

[hollow mesa]

btw when u say add onto avatar do u mean drag and drop it over the avatar in the hierarchy?

[somber sequoia]

Yes

[hollow mesa]

do i drag the whole folder?

or like what from it

[somber sequoia]

You drag the prefab, as Sunshine said. That is located in one of the GogoLoco folders.

I haven't used this myself and don't currently use GogoLoco so I can't tell you the filename offhand

[hollow mesa]

ah i se

[somber sequoia]

oh actually I think it's in the GoLoco folder

not sure this one I have here is out of date though

[hollow mesa]

i did it dw

i looked into it and saw the vrc fury one they were on abt

thend ragged it in

[somber sequoia]

ah good

[hollow mesa]

thx ik i was a bit of a pain lol i haven't touched this in a while so

[median pecan]

unity noob here, does anyone know how to make an emote only play once and then automatically turn off? kinda like the default backflip emote?

[arctic ginkgo]

disable loop time on the animation clip, and in your action layer make sure that the exit transition has exit time set to 1

I also prefer having it exit immediately if the parameter is false, and having the parameter automatically turn off after the emote is done using a parameter driver

this makes it so you can stop the emote at any time or switch emotes at any time (by using an INT parameter type and having each emote use the same parameter with a different value, and 0 = off)

[somber sequoia]

Yeah I like that method also

[median pecan]

okay okay, gotcha. second question: what's an action layer

and where would i find that

if it helps i did also grab VRCfury because i hear most folks use that

[slender vigil]

how do i fix this?

nvm fixed it

[somber sequoia]

it's one of the playable layers: https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/playable-layers/

[median pecan]

ohhh boy... that's. a lot.

on second thought, i think i can go without a taunt menu.

i'll just use my hands

[weak cobalt]

How am I supposed to get help if they delete my messages 😭
