avatar-help

[versed marsh]

Also is this any cause for concern?

[cunning bobcat]

originally for the buttons, then moved over to entry for the toggles and still same result

[versed marsh]

Its just some stuff with the debug menu that broke (idfk how)

[tender herald]

guys i have a question, i just joined the server and it doesnt let me "build my avatar", how do i get permission?

[cunning bobcat]

get a higher trust rank in vrc and you can upload

[arctic ginkgo]

Can I see a screenshot of your state machine and transition settings/conditions?

Just wanna check everything and see if I spot anything out of the ordinary

[tender herald]

huh..? how do i do that?

[arctic ginkgo]

?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.

[tender herald]

i have 22 hours on vrchat, is that not enough??😭

[arctic ginkgo]

Did you start on a vrchat account?

[tender herald]

wym

[arctic ginkgo]

You should get a notification on your account when you get a new trust rank also. If you spend lots of time in public worlds, make lots of friends, and play consistently, you should get new user rank really quickly

[flat musk]

Becoming verified by the trust system is based on reaching a not time based trust score, which's exact algorithm is unknown to prevent exploitation.

You presumably need to play the game in a normal manner with your VRChat account, walking around, meeting people and also making some friends. Idling won't help.
According to many responses in this discord, a rough estimate would be ** 20-40 hours**, but big exceptions are possible.

Make sure you are not using a steam or oculus account and continue playing the game until you get a notification or e-mail.

https://help.vrchat.com/hc/en-us/articles/360062658813-Why-can-t-I-upload-avatars-or-worlds-yet-

Alternatively, you can subscribe to VRC+ for one month to get to new user directly. https://hello.vrchat.com/vrchat-plus-faq

[tender herald]

bruh i just wanted to upload a bought avatar, god damn

i mean.. i played on public servers mostly, i have SOME friends.. is that not enough?

[cunning bobcat]

Well I dont have the toggle system on hand since I reverted back to the button yesterday x_x, but originally it went from an empty start node that has 2 frames that do nothing, then the transition moves to the preset checking if eg int preset = 1. Then I have a transition going back to the start node with exit time as 1 and duration as 0.1s

[cunning bobcat]

time is usually a key factor ive noticed

2-4 days should be enough to get it

[tender herald]

I already feel the regret of spending 40 bucks on ts🙏🏻

[arctic ginkgo]

I mean the things that are known/suspected factors are:

• whether you are in public or private instances
• if you make lots of friends
• if you spend a lot of time active vs afk
• how long you play
• how often you play
• if you don't get blocked, muted, reported, etc
• if you make friends with people of higher trust ranks

You can also purchase vrc+ to get a rank boost

[snow goblet]

just simply play the game more, i got new user in just a day or so

[arctic ginkgo]

If you play for like another day or so you should be able to upload, just be sociable and don't be a menace and you'll rank up fast

Also once you have new user rank, uploading avatars and worlds to your account (and I think public ones might be better) contributes heavily to trust rank

[tender herald]

Alr, thanks

[arctic ginkgo]

I got all the way to trusted within a few months because I upload lots of public avatars and hang out in public worlds often

[tender herald]

If only i had the TIME to do it😭

Welp

Alr, ima go to sleep for now

Tomorrow ima try get it

[cunning bobcat]

if anything have vrc running while you sleep

[tender herald]

Wait fr

[cunning bobcat]

a couple of my friends have done that in the past and that helped them out

yea

[tender herald]

Bruhhhhhh.. on a public server?

[cunning bobcat]

can be in your own home world

[arctic ginkgo]

I don't think it does help all that much

[worn kiln]

usually...that not build up trust.

[cunning bobcat]

its not much but it helps a bit

[worn kiln]

buy VRC+ is also way to boost.

[tender herald]

Well..

[arctic ginkgo]

Because the point of the trust system is to see if you're a good community member, so afk in a world by yourself doesn't do much

Time contributes, but so does activity, making friends, etc

[cunning bobcat]

it worked in 2022 so idk if theres been some updates to the trust system

[tender herald]

Nah im just gonna spend a couple hours a day in public servers..

Where do i see if i got the rank?

[worn kiln]

you will get notified.

[cunning bobcat]

it'll give ya a notification

[worn kiln]

e-mail + in-game notification

[tender herald]

Aight

[arctic ginkgo]

You should get a notification in vrc and it will update your profile as well

[stable isle]

heya, is there any way to use the physbone physics system on a generic unity game? i'm trying to work with dynamic bones, but a lot of things are only in physbones that would help significantly.

• physbone physics looking realistic
• physbones gravity
• angle limits
• shrink/stretch bones

[arctic ginkgo]

If you are doing this soon after the avatar is loaded in, there is a buffer time for state behaviors (parameter drivers, tracking control, etc). It's not consistent, but from what I've seen it's somewhere between 7-15 frames (so about 0.25 seconds at max)

This is just when the avatar first loads in for someone

So I always have a buffer for these kinds of things if they transition on their own without player input

[cunning bobcat]

Ahhhhh shoot i had a feeling, since most of my transitions are at 0.1s. Im guessing 0.25 is the maximum a driver needs to process?

And yeah, that makes sense to increase the transition time there

[arctic ginkgo]

Just when the avatar loads in

If it's happening after that initial buffer then it's likely not the problem

[cunning bobcat]

Hmm. Maybe? I know one of my old layers was running fine with 5 parameters set to the driver at 0.1s transition until when I added a 6th parameter then it was noticeably taking longer to do

I do wonder though if local only fixes that speed issue but I have a feeling it doesnt update synced parameters due to what it does

[arctic ginkgo]

Idk, I just made an avatar that has some states with parameter drivers that have a TON of parameters in them and they work fine

Synced parameters as well

Because they're like "reset" states

For a food system

I have a burger and it resets like where it's at, what toppings are on it, how much it's cooked, etc

Like 15 parameters and it works fine

So I know that's not the issue

[cunning bobcat]

Yeah that sounds about the number of parameters I have rn on the preset system i have. The other layers that have those parameters wouldn't be the culprit of it tho right?

[arctic ginkgo]

Shouldn't be..

[cunning bobcat]

Hrmm, alright. Maybe it really is just a transition issue and I just need to make it longer then. Unless, could the Any State be making it slower?

I always wondered about the performance of any state over entry since I've been making switches from any to entry with a lot of my layers

[stable isle]

bump

[pine elm]

OK SO i wanna make rigged assets like ears and wings but have NO IDEA how to go about it correctly
basically i want to be able to give them physbones for the wiggles and also make them poseable for emotes and puppeting + give animations but i just??? cant seem to find any tutorials for it or im just searching wrong.
id be ETERNALLY grateful for any help/pointers/guides/tutorials/resources that can get me there or even started! plsplsplsplsplsplsplsplsplsplsplspls 🙏 👉 👈
(sorry if this isn't the right channel to ask)

[versed marsh]

I just rigged these horns and tail to this avatar and everything looks well in game besides the tail being stiff, would i nneed to add a physbone in unity like it says here for it to be animated?

[somber sequoia]

physbones are vrchat only - we don't have the server-side stuff that makes them work

use Dynamic Bones.

[somber sequoia]

physbones are a vrchat/unity thing - in blender they're just bones. Rig (and weight paint) the tail, of course.

[stable isle]

ok, how do i limit the angle of the dynamic bones?

[somber sequoia]

I don't know, I'm not an expert at dynamic bones.

[versed marsh]

So would i add a physbone to each of these?

[somber sequoia]

you only add a physbone component to the root of the chain..... possibly where it says to, that's an interesting bone there

[versed marsh]

Would i do anything else from here? or is it good to go

[somber sequoia]

it'll do something at least, sure. You'll have to tweak settings so it moves how you want it to move.

whatever it is

ah, tail

[versed marsh]

Its like a demon tail kinda so just normal movement nothing insane

No idle or anything just for it to move when i move semi normally

[somber sequoia]

"normal" here varies wildly but sure, it'll at least move, then you adjust so it moves how you want it to

[versed marsh]

Alright thank you for helping with that ill see how it goes and tweak as needed c:

[versed marsh]

Sorry one more question, is there a way to make it so it doesnt move through my body by adding a form of collider?

Or like to restrict the movement so it doesnnt move through me

[somber sequoia]

I shall refer you to the docs here - yes there is, and there are also angle limiters.

[versed marsh]

So if i apply an angle limiter would that work?

[somber sequoia]

I can't comment on what will or won't work for you as I've not seen your avatar at all.

[versed marsh]

Actually holdon

Could i copy the component from my existing tail physbone i have for my oldd one to the new one?

[somber sequoia]

sure, you can copy and paste components in Unity

explain what you mean by "this"?

Position your avatar so that it is standing on the world origin (0,0,0) and all of the origins for all of the objects are at the world origin.

... in Blender or similar

that's a problem that can be solved

file -> import -> import FBX, find the fbx file

weird, that's out of the ordinary

perhaps contact the creator and see if they can provide it, or a .blend

[haughty fern]

hello anyone can help me and my friend out im getting this error

[somber sequoia]

<@&397642795457970181> more scammer

[somber sequoia]

select the object in question, ctrl+a, apply all transforms

[dire dagger]

Any1 know how to fix this thing with the lashes?

[somber sequoia]

bye scammer

[regal coral]

So, this is kindof a tough one, and i'm stumped on it

I'm looking to make an isometric camera toggle, similar to the camera perspective of something like the first few diablo games, or fallout

However, no matter what world constraint i use, no matter what angle constraint, or parent constraint, i can't seem to make the camera not turn with the avatar AND follow the player

I can't edit the values on the VRCfury world constraint to make it to where the angle is world constrained and the position isn't, so that's a bust.
I don't want the camera to move when I move my mouse/turn in VR, either, just when I walk around.

The method I'm using is having an invisible object beneath my feet, with the camera trained on it from an upwards angle. The circle below the avatar with the missing texture is the "camera focus", the thing the camera is trained on. The camera is orthographic, for the genuine 2D feel. I'm ok if it clips into things I walk into, that's not my concern.

I just want a way to have a constraint not turn with the avatar, but still follow it.

Does anyone have any alternatives/ideas?

If I set the camera focus to have a the world constraint AND have the parent constraint, it's overridden by the world constraint, and freezes in place until toggled, not turning, but also not moving with the player

[glass geyser]

Why's it that the eyes of this character are fine but then it messes it up when I try to set the position for eye look

This is such an annoying problem I don't understand

For what I know since it only allows me to adjust rotation of both eyes together, I can only get it like these 2 but it doesn't look correct still

[desert elk]

check the bones in Blender
They need to be positioned vertically with the bigger ball at the bottom. And the bone roll needs to be set to 0

it looks like it's not the case in this avatar

[glass geyser]

Ok then

[livid blade]

i need help making my avatar idk how to add bones to it im kind of new to blender

[desert elk]

add > bone

[livid blade]

ok

[desert elk]

in the top left in the menu with lots of options

i recommend looking up tutorials on rigging characters

[livid blade]

its rigged but it just doesnt have enough bones it needs 15 so im adding more bones

[desert elk]

they also need to be parented properly so remember about that

[glass geyser]

Ok so this is what it looks like so, do I go to edit or pose mode and rotate the bones where the spheres sticking out are facing down? I also don't know how to set the bone roll to 0

[livid blade]

how do i parent them properly

[desert elk]

edit mode

for bone roll, click N and I think in the first category you'll have the bone roll (do it after moving the bones)

here's what the eye bones should look like

[glass geyser]

I see

[somber sequoia]

your armature should look like the diagram pined in #avatar-rigging if you want it to be humanoid (and thus get you all the locomotion and stuff)

[somber sequoia]

edit the armature, select the bone, and in the "item" box in the "n" popup menu, you'll find the bone roll value

[glass geyser]

This is blender? Cause I can't find the item box

[somber sequoia]

hit 'n' and you get a popup on the right

[livid blade]

where is the pinned diagram

[somber sequoia]

... I literally explained right there?

[glass geyser]

Oh ok I see now

Ok so like this? The right is the bone hierarchy which idk needs to be changed either or fine as is

[somber sequoia]

they can be way smaller, but yeah, those are direct children of the head, so that's fine

the bone head should be at the exact center of rotation.

[glass geyser]

Ok then, and yeah it was a model downloaded from online that was tweaked to work in vrc so that's why the bones are like that mainly. But it works here, with the eyes slightly off but not really noticeable. Thanks.

[somber sequoia]

yeah some other systems want the eye bones facing forward

[trim shale]

anyone know how to fix this my eye look is in the right spot

[trim shale]

its this error but idk how to fix it

[somber sequoia]

Move your avatar up in Blender so it stands on the floor at 0,0,0, and set the origin of all of its parts, including the armature, to the world origin.

[trim shale]

the thing is its a prefab and i dont know how to use blender so idk why this is happening

[somber sequoia]

because the origin is not set properly on the model

[trim shale]

ive uploaded it before and had no problems

[somber sequoia]

then do what you did then

[trim shale]

i didnt do nothing

[somber sequoia]

not sure what else to tell you here then

[trim shale]

and the white line is not where its susposed to be

[somber sequoia]

is it positioned at 0,0,0 in unity?

[trim shale]

yes and this is what it looks like

[somber sequoia]

well based on that and previous images, the answer I've given is still my answer

[trim shale]

i dont know how to use blender and i dont have the fbx

[somber sequoia]

I'm not sure how to fix it then

personally I wouldn't have purchased an avatar that doesn't come with a proper model file

where'd you get this?

[trim shale]

where did my message go

[somber sequoia]

a bot said it had words that are not allowed here

[ornate stump]

Deleted. You got it from illegal site.

[somber sequoia]

ohhh

ok then I'm done, good luck.

[trim shale]

its illegal

?

[ornate stump]

Your message wouldn't be deleted if it's fine though?

[somber sequoia]

we don't help people who pirate or use pirated content

[trim shale]

how am i susposed to know where to get models i just look up vrc models

[ornate stump]

Search in jinxxy, boothplorer, and vrcarena. Those are categorized vrchat assets and linked to a proper seller page.

[trim shale]

there all furry avatars tho

[stuck oxide]

im trying to upload an avatar and it says this and fails everytime, how do i fix it?

[ornate stump]

That's vrcarena for you. Try other 2. And #1139228456090087495 message

[somber sequoia]

these are not failures - check in your console for the actual error notices.

oh the missing script is the issue

[somber sequoia]

that's the one

[stuck oxide]

its a face tracking model even though i downloaded the pc version of it

[somber sequoia]

then you either need the face tracking package, or to remove that from the avatar

[stuck oxide]

hhow do i remove it?

just delete the vrcfury components?

[somber sequoia]

you could delete that broken script, but I'd want to understand what that is first

[stuck oxide]

yeahh

[somber sequoia]

so really hard to tell what to do from here

[stuck oxide]

ill try deleting them and if it doesnt work ill reimport it

i think deleting them worked

idk we'll see

[queen linden]

Just tried to replace my FBX by dragging and dropping it into my Unity folder, only for it to duplicate. All export settings are the same so I'm not sure what's going on.

[somber sequoia]

it looks like two files there, you want to overwrite the original file, not make a new one

[timber mountain]

I have no idea how this happened while trying to give the character those cool outlines in blender

[queen linden]

Yeah I know, that's what I'm trying to do. I dropped my FBX in and it turned into "Wulf 1" when I was just trying to overwrite "Wulf".

[junior void]

Use the same name and location qhen exporting from blender

[somber sequoia]

^ that

[left gull]

that looks like one mesh has weightpaint and the other doesnt/got messed up during the merge, you could re-weightpaint the outline mesh or delete it and re-duplicate the working mesh+resize+flip normals to be your new outline

id be careful offering money, lots of scammers/bots in here

and very few willing to do 1 on 1 teaching, might be better off just asking questions

[tulip thistle]

Thank you I appreciate that

[livid blade]

yall i need help what is wrong with my model

[ornate stump]

This is how humanoid rig should look like

[livid blade]

oh

[night ember]

a lot of constraints

not really

[cunning bobcat]

@arctic ginkgo Update on my issue. Looks like the solution was setting the Local Only option to on since the parameters I have are synced. After that it ran almost instantly now. Thank you so much and to the others for the help ❤️

[pallid rapids]

I am trying to optimize the meshes on my avis but what ends up happening is it goes invisable so it is virtually impossible toi know how good things will look as i decimate. any ideas?

[ornate stump]

Check in shader tab and see what gets into Alpha slot.

[cunning bobcat]

Enable wireframe mode which can be found next to the drop downs at the top of the viewport

[pallid rapids]

I just found out in shader tab I can take off the little wire on the BSDF in alpha so the alpha goes bye bye like you said Irumi! Thanks!!

[wanton cedar]

Why does your shader look like that...

What version are you running? I'm curious

[pallid rapids]

lol idk xD I am more concerned about making optis than to make it look best in blender lol

And blender 4.5?

[wanton cedar]

Ah that's why the tab is different

[pallid rapids]

ahh

[wanton cedar]

Looks wrong to me lol

[pallid rapids]

even cats is BROKE ASF but idc, does what I need it to xD

[wanton cedar]

I thought cats stopped support after blender 3.4

Ah well

[arctic ginkgo]

No, there's a dev fork that works on latest version

Iirc you have to join the discord to get it but I could be wrong

[wanton cedar]

I have the developer cats

[arctic ginkgo]

Also most people don't need CATS

[wanton cedar]

I'm aware

[arctic ginkgo]

It's main goal is to help convert mmd models to vrchat ready models

[wanton cedar]

It's good for getting rid of those annoying ass bones and translating stuff

[arctic ginkgo]

Yeah, that's the focus

It's for mmd models

[wanton cedar]

I'm aware

[arctic ginkgo]

But like if you're making avis from scratch you don't need it

[wanton cedar]

I like it because of that pose shortcut

[arctic ginkgo]

And many people use it anyways because it's just been passed down through old tutorials and word of mouth from a time where mmd models were most of vrc avis

[arctic ginkgo]

Pose shortcut?

[wanton cedar]

You hit pose and you can make it either a shapekey, stop posing, or rest pose

Yk, right under fix model

[arctic ginkgo]

Shapekey thing is useful

Other two you can do in default blender

[wanton cedar]

I know bro 😭

[arctic ginkgo]

Just talking

[wanton cedar]

And im just saying I know

[cunning bobcat]

The equivalent is Ctrl+A then Alt+R in pose mode

[compact fjord]

i need someone who can help me with blender my cats plug in isnt working

[ornate stump]

You might have to post what it does and your blender and cats version.

[delicate current]

did I port it to android correctly or am i dumb

[gentle iris]

still unable to find a fix for the issue

[teal laurel]

Looks like your unity does not have the android version installed.
No clue how tf you were even able to select it

https://creators.vrchat.com/platforms/android/setting-up-unity-for-creating-quest-content/

[ornate stump]

Can you explain "the issue"?

[gentle iris]

model not touching floor

[delicate current]

uhhh

ill just restart it cuz i did install it

do i have to do a ios version?

[teal laurel]

Nope, optional, just like android

[gentle iris]

in unity its touching the floor in vrchat floating, cant find a video for the issue i got so i have no idea how to fix it

i did everything the same but the first one touches the floor where as my new one doesnt

like what is the issue thats causing this

[ornate stump]

Check the feet bone in blender see if end of the bones touch the floor.

[gentle iris]

is like this ok?

[ornate stump]

It should be. Although you should not need toe bones.

[gentle iris]

ok

i changed it to be like this

[gentle iris]

still above the floor

[valid drum]

Can someone you make this with animation for free

[junior void]

Can foot bones even point straight down? Dont the sdk use the origin of the bone to determine where the ankle is?

[limpid cargo]

foot bone is →

[wanton cedar]

do it yourself or commission someone in vrctraders

also that isnt an avatar

😬

[left gull]

the picture they provided might be an avatar as ive seen several in the past that look like it

they were a leaked/ripped model that used gta assets iirc so it wouldnt be able to be used anyways though

[wanton cedar]

oh yeah it 100% is

[twilit glen]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[wanton cedar]

just asking for it to be an animation isnt really related to avatars

[left gull]

What does the stats look like in the upload panel?

[gentle iris]

turns out
no but yes

[twilit glen]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[left gull]

yeah deff looks quite un-optimized even without seeing the full stats

[teal laurel]

260k 💀

[left gull]

remove unused blendshapes, lower texture rez basically you'll just need to majorly optimize that

[limpid cargo]

it looks scary… good luck

[left gull]

gonna have quite some blender work on your hands

[gentle iris]

still cant fix the floating issue

[gentle iris]

anyone have any ideas?

in this it shows the feet under the floor?

[junior void]

Is the avi made of multiple mesh objects?

[gentle iris]

yes

when i made it 1 object it broke badly

not even weight paint could help

[junior void]

Are armature and all mesh objects at 0 0, meaning all transforms applied

[gentle iris]

yup

[junior void]

That sounds like its not

[gentle iris]

wait

apparently not?

but i checked

i think i might be crazy

[junior void]

Its the only reason why objects would jump around when merging

[gentle iris]

like when i join the parts and pose with pose mode it deforms badly

[junior void]

Thats weight paint or leftover null armature

When merging, the armature reference likes to break

If you have such a broken one plus a working one, itll be messy

[gentle iris]

i checked each parts location and it was above 0 on z

[junior void]

Sounds right

Z is up

Transforms should all be 0

Size 1

[gentle iris]

set it to 0

[junior void]

I hope by applying transforms

And not by just writing 0 in the field

[gentle iris]

applying transforms

[junior void]

Ok good

Lets try again then

If that wasnt it then im out of ideas

[gentle iris]

i pray it works

didnt work

hes in the floor now lol

[junior void]

Your armature must not be zeroed then

[gentle iris]

i think i might know why

[junior void]

You ought to apply transforms to it first then the objects

If you do it the other way around, it likes to cancel each other out

[gentle iris]

in the armature configuration part on unity it shows the feet under the map

[junior void]

Makes sense

[gentle iris]

is there a way i can fix it in unity?

[somber sequoia]

no - you need to make the heel closer to the floor

[gentle iris]

ah so in blender

slowly getting there

[gentle iris]

hes finally walking

just got to fix the fingers

can i just rotate them into place?

found out they cant simply be rotated

[chilly stump]

can someone maybe help me in some time like i bought some assets but i dont know how to get them work and reliable, since im not that good in unity, and maybe explain how i use osc things? i dont get any of that

[prisma frigate]

Will the wonderful Cosmos be public? He's looking amazing

[gentle iris]

that im still deciding

still need to fix the hands

[junior void]

Youre better off asking for one specific thing at a time here. Not everyone will know all assets you got

[chilly stump]

ahh i get what you mean like i got a thing which i better am of j showing it

this

this is my problem on that one

i got the toggle working and everythin but it is straight ove my face, so i dont see anything then i got like, some kind of smoking tool which i dont know how to put it on my avi (there was no tuto) and then i got like a thing called, personal nightmode, and the last is just an osc leash which i dont know how to make it work

my knowledge on unity is nearly emtpy

[chilly stump]

does someone know how to make it transparent for myself?

[wanton cedar]

wouldnt that be the bounding box or whatever its called

[chilly stump]

idk

[dawn wharf]

Heyo! How do I add colliders onto a tail? I don't want my tail clipping through the world ground! Is it possible? Is it an avatar issue or world issue?

[junior void]

Avatar issue. Create a flat plane collider on your avi. Then go to tail physics, set Collider count on it from 0 to 1, drag the collider you just made into the slot. Happiness

[dawn wharf]

Thank you Zero!

[silver canopy]

I edited a Booth model in blender and when exporting some of my shape keys no longer work as normal, not all the vertices move that should. Other blend shapes for the same vertices work just fine, it's only some that are broken.
Anyone experienced this before?

[gentle iris]

what can cause a avatar to cause connection issues?

[junior void]

Have you perhaps edited the mesh while a shape key was selected?

[silver canopy]

I separated the eyes from the head mesh. The blendshapes that are broken are some of the eyebrow-related ones left on the head mesh. I checked in Blender and those specific ones do nothing to the separated eye meshes.

I just realized after I wrote that I did something stupid. I just wanted to add new materials for the eyes and re-UV them. I don't need to separate them to new meshes to do that, I have no idea why I did.
I'm gonna redo it and hope it was just me being dumb

Edit: In case anyone in the future sees this in a search or something, setting blendshape normals set to import/calculate instead of matching the original FBX's "none" fixes this.

[astral valley]

anyone know why this happens?

[gentle iris]

why what happens?

[astral valley]

the parent lines go to the origin point

[gentle iris]

does the same on my model

[junior void]

Check if the parent bones are right

I think i turned relationship lines off

If the parent bone is correct i wouldnt worry

[astral valley]

the avatar is invisible and the camera is really high up for no reason

[timber wharf]

most likely you have a camera component in your avatar, probly on blender export. remove it

[astral valley]

this is what it looks like in blender, when I import it into unity it looks and works perfectly until i load it into vr chat

[astral valley]

In vrchat the camera starts at the normal avatar height but then when i look around the camera flies out of the map like in that photo

[wicked valley]

how do i reduce physbone transforms?
trying to upload to quest rn

[astral valley]

seems like its fine but it doesnt work in vr chat. does anyone else get glitches where in vr chat the avatar appears tiny but the camera is extremely high up?

[junior void]

Check the view point set in the descriptor

[lavish glen]

what is the most up to date unity, for uplaoding vrc avis? and where can I get the stuff to upload on window and quest?

[wicked valley]

Vrchat creator companion, and unity 2022.3.22f1

[lavish glen]

im on mac i forgot what I used to upload its been 2 years

[wicked valley]

https://vcc.docs.vrchat.com/

[astral valley]

how do i do that?

[junior void]

Start by looking through options on the avatar descriptor.

[gentle iris]

like this?

[astral valley]

How do I fix that?

It's happened to my last 2 avatars

[gentle iris]

its explained back in the chat

[wicked valley]

ill send a screenshot when my unity respods

[astral valley]

Okok thank you

[wicked valley]

click on the button that says edit then move it to where it needs to be

[lavish glen]

is the latest unity 2022.3.62f1?

because when i go to their websiteall i see is 60000

[balmy barn]

https://unity.com/releases/editor/whats-new/2022.3.22 | hub/manual download

[wicked valley]

as i said before, 2022.3.22f1

[astral valley]

ive already done that but it doesnt work for me

[wicked valley]

click return rq, then enter play mode

[lavish glen]

it doesnt even exist

[wicked valley]

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

then click on mac

[lavish glen]

thank you

where is vrc sdk and quest tools

im so sorry im bothering u so early

[simple inlet]

Anyone have any advice on using bools to replicate an int setup? I have four states that need to be mutually exclusive, so I would usually use an int, but it feels silly to use 8 bits for 4 states.
I've tried using bools and parameter drivers to replicate it, which kind of works. The toggles work fine in ascending order but I have a weird issue where they get stuck if I toggle them in descending order (See video).
I've worked around this issue before by splitting the toggles up into separate layers, but ideally I want to keep them all in one layer.
Any guidance much appreciated! I can send more detailed screenshots of my transitions etc if needed, just lmk ^ ^)

[lavish glen]

shes so cute

[simple inlet]

Ty! It's a commission, the client chose some suuuuper nice asset combos :3

[wicked valley]

its not early lolm its 1 pm over here

https://vrchat.com/home/download

[lavish glen]

its 8am for me

i forget diffrent times sometimes

[wicked valley]

i THINK you might have to do manual sdk

idk if itll automatically do a mac install or if its gonna be an exe for the creator companion

yeah youll need to do manual;

[lavish glen]

their all papers n folders

i son't remeber it being like this

it use to be the unity logo

[still shuttle]

Just don't talk to him man. You have full control of who you talk to on the internet. Plus this is the wrong channel to post this

[simple inlet]

Make a ticket and report it to staff!

[void pendant]

can sombody help me get my vtuber avatar (.vrm) into VRC?

[lavish glen]

oh lord i forgot 2 copy the print and cant see it in sdk

[worn kiln]

public callout is not allow

[lavish glen]

but it awares everyone

[worn kiln]

if it happen within this server, make ticket on #discord-tickets
if it in DM, contact discord T&S

[desert elk]

here #avatar-help message

this could also be helpful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPXe0a_yMQc&t=1058s

[lavish glen]

is there another way to see it?

[astral valley]

is there any way to fix this? i get the same bug but Anything i try wont work

some ss I can provide the avatar in blender and unity seem to work fine but it doesnt work on vr chat

[arctic ginkgo]

Where is your viewpoint? Also what does your avatar look like in rig configure?

[astral valley]

viewpoint is where the eyes are, and the rig works perfectly

the avatar in unity is about 1.5 standard cubes tall so about 1.5m tall

and in game its tiny and the camera is glitched

where this happens and the avatar is invisible when you look at mirrors

(looking slightly down makes the camera fly)

[delicate current]

okay so what does that security checks mean

[balmy barn]

av need optimizing , wich one? go look at stats ( unity sdk wont tell you everything if you use vrcfury/modular ect - editor log after a build will )

[astral valley]

Is it required to set the origin to each part when im rigging? im trying out new stuff to fix the broken avatar in vrchat and this is the rigging in blender (im not sure how its broken i tried the same stuff before and it worked perfectly and now its not working )

[stoic briar]

quick question

how would i make animated avatars

[dawn wharf]

what part would you like to be animated?

[stoic briar]

okay let me explain

actually i can send a video or smthn

[quasi gulch]

Hey do you think that you can make me an avi

To look like this

[dawn wharf]

go ahead!

[dawn wharf]

might wanna pay an avatar creator for that!

[quasi gulch]

Okay thanks anyway 🙂

[somber sequoia]

You really want the origins to be the world origin and apply all transforms, and I'd probably join those parts into one body.

[stoic briar]

like this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Dlnyna-Mb4

i rlly want to get into making animated avatars

but i have no idea how

[dawn wharf]

You have to animate the motions yourself within Unity

[stoic briar]

alr

[astral valley]

how should i do that?

[somber sequoia]

put the 3D cursor at the origin and instead of origin to geometry like in your image, use origin to 3D cursor. Then select objects in object mode, ctrl+a, apply all transforms.

[astral valley]

when i export the avatar from blender to fbx what settings do i use?

[somber sequoia]

set "apply scalings" to "FBX All" unless you know you need it otherwise.
Uncheck the option for "leaf bones" under "Armature".

I also set "smoothing" to "face" under "Geometry" but you have to pick the "import normals" option in Unity, and it may not work well for your model. Test of course.

[fallow aspen]

if you wanna commission someone, I suggest you to go to an artist from Vrc traders server....here are a lot of scammers that will try to scam you..

[tender herald]

guys does anybody know how to optimize those problems? its my first time using unity and i want to upload the avatar that i bought. i'm using the version that VRchat made me download.

[somber sequoia]

#avatar-optimization may be a better place, there are pins too.

oh I missed the version thing - you should also be using Unity 2022.3.22f1

re: the actual build failure, as it says, check in the console for the reason, it'd be one of the first 2-3 errors, at the top.

[astral valley]

In unity How do i join 3 objects into 1 object?

[somber sequoia]

you don't

[astral valley]

nvm i joined them

[somber sequoia]

best you could do is a parent/child relationship, or prefab them

[astral valley]

I selected the 3 and i joined them and i think it works

[somber sequoia]

joined how?

[astral valley]

Is there any way i can make the spiders kinda dangle when i move around?

[somber sequoia]

physbones

[somber sequoia]

oh so blender, not Unity.

[astral valley]

Oh mbb

[somber sequoia]

so yeah, like that in Blender 🙂

[astral valley]

💀

[astral valley]

When exporting the avatar from blender to unity, ive set the directions correctly but anything I change sets the directions in unity to -90 and -180 which glitches the avatar in vr chat

is there any fix to this?

[junior void]

I usually dont use apply transform

[somber sequoia]

by correctly you mean your avatar is facing -Y right?

[astral valley]

yes

[somber sequoia]

then don't change any of those options from the default

[astral valley]

having the avatar lay flat in unity makes the camera in vr chat glitchy

i changed the size of the antlers and everything broke????

[somber sequoia]

it shouldn't lay flat in Unity though

In the "model" tab in the inspector for the model file, do you have "bake axis conversion" checked? Uncheck it.

[astral valley]

thats what it looks like

[astral valley]

in blender or unity?

[somber sequoia]

unity

[astral valley]

Its already unchecked

[somber sequoia]

You must provide a path to the thumbnail image when creating a new avatar
That's a new one.... for a not-new avatar with a thumbnail image provided.

[astral valley]

now it spawns in at x-90

[somber sequoia]

what, the armature or the mesh object?

[junior void]

Btw i use bake axis to do 0 0 0

[somber sequoia]

actually both is normal, but the avatar prefab root shouldn't have that

I check that for world props but haven't for avatars

[junior void]

My ocd allowed for nothing else lol

[somber sequoia]

haha, fair

[astral valley]

thats what happends when i load it in, blender has the correct directions when i export it as fbx but in unity it changes

[somber sequoia]

yeah that shouldn't happen, interesting

[astral valley]

then in vr chat the camera breaks more

[junior void]

All models i bought from other creators have a -90

But if ypu dont touch it, its upright

Why does the number matter if it looks okay

[somber sequoia]

yep

[astral valley]

its backwards now

should i just rotate the whole thing in unity?

[lusty wind]

the avatar itself isnt large and i dont have but 2 assets on it and i did a retexture

[wicked valley]

@lusty wind

oops

[lusty wind]

yeah

[wicked valley]

you already ssked here

[lusty wind]

thats the issue and i cant figure it out im going mental

i asked here too cause i saw you where in game

was tryin to be considerate

[wicked valley]

ive never seen that

[wicked valley]

im just chillin, dw about bothering me lol

[lusty wind]

all i did was add 1 clothing a retexture and piercings to the avatar

the avatar itself was a base model so no add ons other then body toggles

[somber sequoia]

show the first 2-3 errors in the console, without the build window obscuring it

[wicked valley]

ooh delphy kobo

[lusty wind]

its the same error

[somber sequoia]

by first I meant actually the first - I see some above that. But yeah if it's that error, I'm not sure where it's from.

[lusty wind]

here are the top errors but i fixed those i believe

[somber sequoia]

huh... I'd probably exit Unity, delete the Library folder in your project, and open Unity and let it rebuild that.

[astral valley]

the avatar isnt naturally facing forward and ive tried changing this in blender and unity but it still comes out facing the wrong way

[lusty wind]

alr i have a debug running again to hopefully see if that will fix it aswell

[somber sequoia]

You should apply all transforms in Blender if you haven't

[wicked valley]

dont forget to hit clear every time you test

[somber sequoia]

especially after moving/rotating/scaling objects.

[wicked valley]

then you wont see old errors]

[astral valley]

still facing backwards

[somber sequoia]

And you're sure it's facing -Y in Blender and you have applied transforms? There's no rotation values in the transform box for any of the objects?

[lusty wind]

It looks like the debug fixed it??

[astral valley]

all objects are 0, 0, 0, ive done y and -y and it faces backwards with anything i do

[somber sequoia]

it should face -Y, Y goes into the screen in Blender

[astral valley]

its already on -Y but its still facing the wrong way

[somber sequoia]

no this isn't correct - you changed these from the defaults. The default has "Forward" set to -Z and "Up" set to Y Up. It's not the source (i.e. Blender), it's the target (unity)

I also have "apply transform" unchecked

[fallow aspen]

that beacause of that blender and unity use different direction

[astral valley]

So what should i have these set to? because before when i changed them it worked perfectly

[somber sequoia]

I just said.

Leave those as default.

[astral valley]

okok

in blender the avatar is facing Y so should i rotate it or keep it as the same?

[somber sequoia]

Again, the avatar should be facing -Y in Blender.

That is +Y

now I see why you are having issues.

[astral valley]

Alright thank you

alright now it works thanks

[fallow aspen]

that's because of the bleander to unity issue

you're always welcome

[astral valley]

The directions are different idk why

[fallow aspen]

it's because the the direction in the blender should be Z+ to forward to unity

otherwise unity make it sideways

[astral valley]

Thank you it finally works normally xD

If I wanted to make the spiders swing from the branches is there a way to make the branches stationary? (so the branch doesnt move but the hanging spiders do)

this avatar is perfect for now but im just testing stuff out

[fallow aspen]

It looks really good

you have to just not add any physics to the branches and add the bonnes and joints and set their root to the branchs that way the spider will move n not the braches

[somber sequoia]

yes, obviously

[lusty wind]

same error so what do i do now??

[fallow aspen]

wat error?

[lusty wind]

^

nvm i fixed it

[mighty basin]

i'm new to rigging, so explaining is very hard but i know the placement is incorrect already, so i was wondering where i should put the bones in legs like this so that it moves relatively ok.

[somber sequoia]

well..... for FBT, the issue is that your legs don't look like those legs, and the humanoid bones should be pretty close to yours or things get weird.
But then if your avtars are far off that, it gets to be a challenge to make them also work well

I suspect the heel being so far back is going to be weird

[mighty basin]

yea. . .it twists way to much even the calf goes upwards to far

[somber sequoia]

yeah. You might have to get complex with one set for you and another set for the model, with rotation constraints connecting them

[mighty basin]

so basically cause my brain is small. add 2+ more bones in the shape of regular human legs?

[somber sequoia]

yep, those would be not weight painted, you let VRChat drive those and use rotation constraints to try to translate that into the model's movements. And spend about a month trying to tweak it so it works well.

[mighty basin]

i see, back to work then. gonna do that and hit it with a hammer til it works.

[somber sequoia]

there may be some happy medium that's simpler too, you'll probably have to experiment

basically it gets harder the further you deviate from humanoid

[somber sequoia]

what method are you attempting? It sounds like it won't work for this case

[mental flare]

anyone know how i can fix this? not really familiar with it

[wild tangle]

i cant get the quest version to build

[mental flare]

@wild tangle same here

[ionic mortar]

My expressions and phisic bones are not importing to vrc, anyone knows what could be e essue? It is not showing any error messages to auto fix

[dull sable]

hey can someone help me with a toggle. im doing a spicy avi comm and im trying to get from 2 different dresses to the nightwear parameter behavior which is in conjunction with the separate submenu wear when in the nightwear from the dresses menu i can turn off the nightwear from the spicyy menu

[fallow aspen]

what help you you need?

[somber sequoia]

nothing to see in this image, you'd probably want to look in that FX animator for clues on expressions, or on the avatar itself to see if there are physbones.

[glass geyser]

so, I used a model with a skeleton that works in vrchat, and it looks fine in a mirror and stuff, but I can't see the first person body at all, no arms nor legs, why is that

the view position isn't off either, it's in the middle of the eyes

[versed marsh]

How would i go about adding these glasses to my head armature without deleteing the glasses root bones cause there is some dangling chains

Would havinng that extra head armature there mess with anything if its already parented to my main head armature?

[versed heart]

Hi all made a avatar but facing eight major issues and could really use some help

[lone flax]

Hey, I'm trying to add a GIF and an audio file together to like make a video with audio I tested it and it does work actually just the gif starts before I turn on the toggle to it skips ahead is there a way to make it not start until it gets toggled on and start from the beginning every time it gets toggled? I'm using poiyomi flipbook btw

[nova briar]

does anyone know a way to unpublish a version of an avatar? mine is on pc quest and ios, and i want to delete the ios version but keep the other two

[fallow aspen]

There’s no direct way to unpublish just the ios version of an avatar. You need to reupload the avatar and only include the PC and quest versions. That s all overwrite the existing upload and remove the iios one.

[nova briar]

oh well, they should make that an option, cause i rather someone on ios to see me as my fallback than a broken version of my avatar because i cant upload it

[fallow aspen]

maybe in new update But It's not available now..

[rotund solstice]

Is anyone else having problems with the marshmallow PB 2.0.0 beta?
I'm trying to get it to work on one of my Milltina models but it doesn't seem to be working. I've never used marshmallow before ^^

[ionic mortar]

Oh, tnx, I found the issue, the phisic thing wasn't inside the model's page

[high trail]

when using the "muscles & settings" option, the rig keeps bending weirdly like this, any reason why?

[high trail]

well, i'll see if the thing i mentioned previously is gonna be a problem soon, but, i wanna know now
i've made some changes to the rig due to previous issues, so i wanna know if it'll work fine now

[fallow aspen]

maybe the bone roll or T pose isn't correct

[high trail]

oh right, its gotta be on a t pose....

[fallow aspen]

yeah

and also make sure the direction is right

[loud edge]

does anyone know if there's a way to disable individual hand gestures through vrcfury?

[fallow aspen]

you can disable specific hand gestures with VRCFury by removing or replacing the animation tied to that gesture in the FX or gesture layer. Just use a blank animation or leave it empty.

[high trail]

is it the direction that has been messing up the muscles and settings thing?

[fallow aspen]

in your case I think it's the T pose

[high trail]

because whenever i move the sliders, it seems like its treating the rig as if it's backwards

bending the joints in the oposite direction and all

[timid mural]

Is there any way to change the value of an avatar parameter from the station animator?
i tried to use parameter driver

[astral valley]

when i try to weight paint it only shows 1 part of the avatar how do i fix it?

[fallow aspen]

you can’t change avatar parameters directly from a station’s animator because it runs on the world object not the avatar. parameter drivers won’t affect the avatar from there You’d need to use a workaround, like triggering something on the avatar through proximity or using synced animations.

[high trail]

another problem, the shoulder bones have merged with the upper torso bone, again

[timid mural]

oh i see

[high trail]

you dont weight paint the whole model all at once, right now you're changing the weight of the selected part of the model

also make sure you've got the correct bone's vertex group selected

and here's a better look at the rig, i dont know why some bones seem to be merging and dissapearing like this

[astral valley]

i want to see what bones affect what areas and its only selecting 1 part, so if i could see multiple itll help

[high trail]

these is no way, that i know of, to weight paint all parts at once, altough it would be incredibly difficult for such

weight painting is about how that part in specific reacts to bones

my model is also separated in to multiple parts, so i'll show you a little reference

as you can see, the thigh part is paintedfully red

[astral valley]

so for example like this

[high trail]

that's for models that are composed of one part

[astral valley]

ohhhh is there any way i can see it for multiple?

[fallow aspen]

It’s probably an issue with the bone hierarchy or weight painting in Blender you can try fixing them

[high trail]

nope

but its for a good reason, as it would be a mess if it was the case

look further in to the tutorial tho

[astral valley]

Or if i can cycle through them because when i chance bones it shows what affects it but i cant change the part

[high trail]

he'll explain how you do it

[astral valley]

tutorial only shows that sadly

[high trail]

i've watched the same tutorial before

[high trail]

it'll show more further ahead, trust me

[tulip pasture]

for the life of me, i cant get this physbone to drive the parameter, everything else works but pulling the bone doesnt drive the float parameter, driving me nuts

[astral valley]

he only does single part avatars in the vid sadly

[high trail]

i suppose you're watching this one?https://youtu.be/DDeB4tDVCGY?si=lBjaVpnldYFDTguo

[astral valley]

then he goes into rigid rigging which works for multiple

[astral valley]

yes xD

[high trail]

well, he does explain then

but to be fair, the process isnt all that different

[astral valley]

says in the title im impatient mb 😭

nvm he does show it

[high trail]

told you

[high trail]

im not sure what could be wrong with the hierarchy

for what i've checked its all fine

[astral valley]

oh nvm i just found it on accident

[fallow aspen]

then maybe we should wait for @somber sequoia maybe he could help you..

[astral valley]

clicking that button on the side does it

[high trail]

oh yeah, he's helped me a bit ago

probably made him put me in a hitlist by how stupid i was

[fallow aspen]

we both just help everyone here:)

I think he knows more stuff than me

[astral valley]

oh its alot easier then i thought

[glass geyser]

does anyone know why I can't see the fp body of this avatar I uploaded? I used the skeleton it had and it alll looks fine, and the view position isn't off either, it's in the middle of it's eyes so I should see it's arm at least but I don't. I'm looking all the way down here too.

I could technically just go with this but it'll feel very weird in vr

[fallow aspen]

If you can’t see the fp\ body, it’s likely the arms aren’t assigned in the First Person section or not weighted properly. Try setting 'Force View Into First Person' or manually adding the mesh there

[glass geyser]

ok, how do I do that? assuming this is in unity in the project, I have no experience with that part.

[astral valley]

Easier than i thought it would be, but is here any way to fix the tears in the mesh?

[fallow aspen]

you can do it in Unity by selecting your avatar prefab, then scroll down to the VRChat Avatar Descriptor component. Look for the 'View Position' section below that is a 'First Person' section. Expand it, and you’ll see a list of meshes. Make sure the body mesh or arms are added there. If it’s empty, click the + and drag your mesh into the slot. Also, check the box that says 'Force View Into First Person' to make sure it shows up in VR

[astral valley]

any way to fix that too?

[fallow aspen]

I think you can try merging vertices by distance, checking the weight painting, and recalculating normals in Blender to fix it

[stiff arrow]

Does anybody have Stella Quartz weapon assets and knows how to fix the scripts for their prefabs with all the animations and effects?

[glass geyser]

Ok I barely got it opened but it doesn't look like it has anything else than edit the view position

[pine elm]

bump

[stray trench]

https://booth.pm/ja/items/5464903

would anybody be able to tell if this is quest compatible?

[astral valley]

alot harder then i thought* 😅

[astral valley]

im weight painting the parts now but theres small tears in the parts and ive tried applying merge by distance but i dont think it seems to work

It makes these cuts between the verticies

[balmy barn]

you can try this, its pretty tedious

[pure lantern]

Why is the standard lite shader just making my avatar white,,

Nvm I figured it out

[tulip pasture]

ive been trying to get this physbone to drive a parameter for 5 hours, i cant for the life of me get it to work

if i pull this, and i have the FX and blendtree working, it SHOULD work yes? for stretch

[lilac musk]

Check the parameter name for any typos. Should be WORK_Stretch

[quasi briar]

make sure you specify the parameter (like silverlightning specified) in the fx controller that you're using, not just "WORK" but "WORK_Stretch". it doesn't need to be defined in the vrchat avatar parameters btw

[tulip pasture]

ive tried that sadly

the blendtree seems to work, but when i stretch it in play mode, i get nothing

[desert aurora]

I need help

[high trail]

hey @fallow aspen

any reason why i could be getting this error?

[desert aurora]

I want to upload quest Avis only using the PC file I’ve tried using VRC quest tools but it always messes up the eyelashes and they just turn into like a black square

[night ember]

you cant have transparency on quest

[desert aurora]

Oh so there’s no way to fix it?

[night ember]

you need to cut that part of the mesh out

[verbal inlet]

I am having this weird shading issue after kitbashing two separate models together, is there a way to fix this? My normals are all calculated outside, I was trying to reduce the poly count from the neck into the head which just created more weird shading and I am unsure how to fix this, any advice is much appreciated, thank you for reading

[knotty oracle]

im making a r6 lion avatar but i have the model straight up ripped from the game

and it looks a little iffy

[left gull]

nobody is going to help with ripped content as it breaks the #rules

[high trail]

looks like the faces are acting weird because of the placement

subdivide the edges twice and press m, either at first or at last, make sure it alings with the same line

[somber sequoia]

join those way more smoothly, then select the faces and in the normals menu, select recalculate. assuming you don't have custom normals.

[knotty oracle]

okay so how to i put a texture on a model

[desert aurora]

How?

[night ember]

blender

[desert aurora]

Oh im scared of blender

Can I do it without blender?

Idk how it works

[night ember]

no

[knotty oracle]

?

[night ember]

you put it on the material

[knotty oracle]

im using unity

not blender

[desert aurora]

This is true but maybe later I will take on the adventure of blender

[night ember]

you put it on the material

[knotty oracle]

HOW?

[somber sequoia]

do as it says, open "import messages" at the bottom of this image

[knotty oracle]

yo i need a step by step

[night ember]

you take the image file and put it on the material on the avatar

[high trail]

problem's already dealt with

[knotty oracle]

i literally cannot

it wont let me

[somber sequoia]

ah, good.

[somber sequoia]

explain exactly what steps you are taking and what about it is not working.

[knotty oracle]

i grab the img and put it on the model

it gives me some sort of cancel on my cursor

[desert aurora]

I think I need a better PC for blender

[night ember]

you dont drag it onto the model you drag it onto the material on the avatar

[somber sequoia]

images don't go onto models - images go into materials and then materials go onto meshes

[knotty oracle]

what

[high trail]

altough i am having a few issues with this "bounding box" thing

i suppose the way i can fix is by putting the model in an A pose?

[knotty oracle]

how the hell do i put the material

what

[somber sequoia]

you put the texture into the correct texture slot in the shader on your material. Most of the tutorials would go over this.

[knotty oracle]

yeah im doing this from scratch

there is no create material

at all

[night ember]

its one of the first things any unity tutorial teaches you

[desert aurora]

Do avatars look weird without eyelashes?

🤷‍♂️

[wanton cedar]

did you ever figure it out?

[night ember]

subjective and its not exactly an answer for every avatar

[high trail]

wdym did i ever figure out, i gave you the possible awnser-

[knotty oracle]

what do i do for a shader

[wanton cedar]

oh i responded to the wrong thing

sorry

[knotty oracle]

whats a shader

whar

[somber sequoia]

there is in the top menu under create, or if you right-click in the Project window and select Create from there

[high trail]

you saw nothing

[wanton cedar]

did they at least figure it out tho?

[night ember]

is that L?

[knotty oracle]

so i have the material

[high trail]

you..,,.,.,,.

[somber sequoia]

me?

[knotty oracle]

so i have the material

now what

[somber sequoia]

drag your base color texture into the base color slot

[night ember]

I recognize that dead stare of a malnourished teen anywhere

[high trail]

yes, you

how fix

[somber sequoia]

.... okay?

[high trail]

you tell how fix

or get
rock in head

[night ember]

have you considered reading the warning

[somber sequoia]

do you have some giant prop, or is your avatar too tall or something?

[mighty kestrel]

your bounds might be a lil crazy

smexy trust

[somber sequoia]

yeah but unless you actually scaled it up, it's probably accurate - I'd figure out what's causing it.

[mighty kestrel]

✅

my avatar has too many eyelashes

i just thought he was swag w no eyelashes </3 i’m sry i just got here

[desert aurora]

Is there a place here where I can commission a custom Vrchat avatar of my own?

[high trail]

it did give me a hight warning, might be that

[somber sequoia]

how tall is it?

[mighty kestrel]

fivver is actually a crazy rec

[mighty kestrel]

what kinda avatar are you looking for

[tidal void]

I need a little help with this one

My hair has two blendshapes

Hair Short (hair is shortest at 100%)
Hair Long (hair is longest at 100%)

When both are at 0, hair is at 50% lenght.

How do I set up the thresholds on a Blendtree so that when the first animated blendtree finishes, the second one continues the motion, making it a smooth transition?

With 0 and 1 respectively, they just overlap

[mighty kestrel]

no such thing as too much eyelashes

[desert aurora]

Just one of my vtuber model but in the style of an egirl

[mighty kestrel]

are you just trying to make a smooth hair length radial?

[tidal void]

Yes

Exactly

[mighty kestrel]

possibly vrc traders, the discord

jinxxy creators, etc, but keep in mind custom assets are expensive

kitbash creators might be what your lookin for

[tidal void]

Just having an issue with how to set up the thresholds so that turns out that way

[desert aurora]

Woah aren’t u an avi creator?

[desert aurora]

Where is that?

[mighty kestrel]

uhhh i can send a tut, but basically, animate one single animation with one frame between each three, start short, then medium, then long, add to animator blendtree, turn on the motion time setting, make sure ur params are correct and import just the one animation

it will only work in play mode, you can’t preview

[mighty kestrel]

uhhh again, probably jinxxy, i suggest looking through creators you like on there or tiktok and looking into if they do custom commissions

VRC traders is also in the partnered servers

[night ember]

#1204490664637890580

[mighty kestrel]

i was in here to show off some stuff i’m working on

[desert aurora]

What about Vgen?

[mighty kestrel]

like, converting the model? or?

[desert aurora]

No to make it

[left gull]

go to VRCTraders alot of the suggestions im seeing you get are sites filled to the brim with scammers

[mighty kestrel]

i don’t know what you’re saying </3

[mighty kestrel]

Jinxxy??

jinxxy is legit

[left gull]

jinxxy doesnt have commissioners?

[desert aurora]

Vrctraders got it

[left gull]

jinxxy is a hoster site for storefronts

[mighty kestrel]

no but it’s a network to find avatar creators who you enjoy the style of, who often take commissions

yes i’m aware

you can find creators to commission through there easily by doing your own research, i’ve done it first hand

[left gull]

thats far more work and less safe then just going to a dedicated discord for commissioning vrchat avatars

[mighty kestrel]

god forbid someone has a different way?

its verified sellers, with your own research i fear

jinxxy has a moderation team

[desert aurora]

So do I use jinxxy or vrctrader?

[left gull]

verified sellers for pre-made products, they dont moderate for commissioned works

[mighty kestrel]

whichever you prefer luv

[mighty kestrel]

wahwahwah

i do, & i sell on jinxxy, i know plenty of other people who do, yes of course not everyone will… but that’s just creators. it’s just a way to locate creators nothing more

do your own research, or don’t 🧍🏼

[desert aurora]

I’ll just check out both

Thank you both for your help!

[mighty kestrel]

have a good day pooks

[desert aurora]

Wait do u play Overwatch?

[mighty kestrel]

…

perhaps

WHY

[desert aurora]

Marvel Rivals?

I need more people to play it with 😭

[mighty kestrel]

uhhh used to, i uninstalled it i fear

[desert aurora]

Why fear?

[mighty kestrel]

the 3rd person aspect gives me the ick

bc everyone loves that game rn </3

every time i get off blender is beacons me back

</333 i don’t wanna sit an my desk for another hour

[desert aurora]

I like the mechanics more on rivals but I spent to much time on OW

I play both though

[mighty kestrel]

ow was my first love for video games lol

[desert aurora]

Theres a video game first love?

[somber sequoia]

this is avatar help

[mighty kestrel]

you’ll be okay…

[desert aurora]

Sorry I got distracted i didn’t know if they would be ok with me DM Astra

[mighty kestrel]

yeah idm, kazin does this every time :]

[somber sequoia]

I don't do it every time

[mighty kestrel]

okay fair, not every time

[spare gust]

does anyone know why my constraints are doing this?

[high trail]

you again.....

how big does an avatar need to look in unity

[somber sequoia]

?

[high trail]

cus i imported a random file and it came out small similarly to this size

[somber sequoia]

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to take this comment

[high trail]

this big or this big

biggest one is exported as 1.00

actualy that was a dumb question

feel free to stone me

[junior void]

Fr fr, you again. How dare you be here helping ppl for free all the time. Pfff. Blasphemy

[somber sequoia]

I mean... I could just, not...

slinks off into a corner

[junior void]

I gotta say though sometimes i do wonder if you ever sleep

[somber sequoia]

less than I ought

[junior void]

I just had a solid 8 hours :P

[fervent spear]

hey guys, this has only just started happening and only with my newest fbx, when i import my avatar into blender from unity the texture will appear duller in colour. i tried this with older fbxs of the same model and the colours dont have this problem? when i copy their materials to the newer fbx it doesnt fix it, occasionally it will appear super pale. idk what is happening but it doesnt seem to happen in unity?

im using the exact same material btw, been doing this for ages and nothing like this has happened before

[ornate stump]

You should post images for reference. To compare before and after at least to provide some hint of what is going on.

[fervent spear]

first one is how its supposed to look, second is what happens when i import it from unity to blender

[ornate stump]

Can you screenshot the material in unity?

Also don't rely on the looks in blender. Both app doesn't have same rendering technique so the look will always be off.

[fervent spear]

will do, also its never done this before, every time ive imported it its just looked normal

this is the material from blender to unity (i do not use this ingame, i use toon standard)

[ornate stump]

If you're changing shader anyway, the look from blender shouldn't matter though.

[fervent spear]

yeah i just was worried why it was suddenly doing that in blender

its good that it doesnt affect unity though

i was a little worried about that too

[radiant cape]

how do i make it so the audio plays before the animation does as a toggle

[shy valve]

What if your making it in nomad sculpt? Do you have to import it in blender???

[ornate stump]

Does it have rigging and can export as fbx?

[shy valve]

I think

I’ll have to check

[raw kestrel]

anyone knows how to solve this?

i've already merged my steam account and vrchat account

i have to wait or what?

[ornate stump]

Have you merged your accounts?

[raw kestrel]

ye

[ornate stump]

Is your trust rank "Visitor"?

[raw kestrel]

but was like 5 min ago

[raw kestrel]

idk how to see that

oh

yeah is it

visitor

[ornate stump]

Then you have to play more.

[raw kestrel]

ok

thx

do you know how many time i have to play?

[ornate stump]

#1139228456090087495 message

[raw kestrel]

thank you very much

[west magnet]

half my avatar is stuck in t-pose its body is mostly made of rotation constraints

[sullen siren]

almost all of my avis are unavailable, is this a server issue and can expect a fix later? or is this another fantastic wipe from vrchat itself

[near rover]

anyone know how to fixx this it does the first picture when i auto fix

[ornate stump]

Don't autofix. Restart unity once.

[near rover]

i did

but i have to autofix cause its cc

And its for quest

[ornate stump]

Autofix will remove the essential component required to upload your avatar.

[ornate stump]

If the sdk got confused, also try changing sdk version in vcc.

[west magnet]

actually...all my avatars constraints are broken...

wtf did vrc do now??

[steady moat]

I keep getting this error on upload:
Library/PackageCache/com.unity.collections@2.5.7/Unity.Collections/NativeList.cs(846,24): error CS7036: There is no argument given that corresponds to the required formal parameter 'safety' of 'NativeArray<T>.ReadOnly.ReadOnly(void*, int, ref AtomicSafetyHandle)'
i cant upload... does anyone know what causes this?

[near rover]

i jus did rn and it doesnt work

[ornate stump]

Double check if you had VRCSDK folder in Assets folder, if you have it then delete it.

[near rover]

k

this?

gulp

[ornate stump]

Are you sure you're looking in Assets folder?

[near rover]

i searched it cause i dont see it

[ornate stump]

Then those might be in Packages folder which is valid and don't remove.

[near rover]

oh ok

i jus looked up sdk

theres 3

[ornate stump]

Don't search for it. Just look in the asset folder.

[near rover]

k

these are all my folders

theres nothing there

[plain mural]

heya, I think I saw that through vrcfury or something else you can transfer all the physical bones (and other settings) from one model to another in one click, can anyone help me remember where it was? I don't remember exactly if it was vrcfury

[ornate stump]

It's Pumkin's tools.

[plain mural]

thanks!

[ornate stump]

That should be fine. Have you tried re-adding avatar descriptor?

[near rover]

yeah

[old willow]

Question for those who may have messed with constraints, is it possible to rebake a vrc constraint without freezing it to the world?

[plain mural]

the problem is not this but that I have to replace the fbx and update the legs completely, so thanks for the help

[ornate stump]

That reply wasn't for you.

[plain mural]

lmao sorry

[timid mural]

https://meteostore.booth.pm/items/4302906
but look at this asset

they do it

[foggy socket]

hi i ve tried to merge mesh with C.A.T but i keep getting this error ,any help ?

[balmy barn]

ancient cats version you are using 4.5 too wich is bleeding edge

4.5.0.1 cats exsist but might have issues

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

( 4.2 lts one id recommend )

[soft aurora]

Avatar is stuck like this

Animation preview is off

[still shuttle]

You can use pumkins avatar tools to reset the pose

[gusty meteor]

Hey 👋
I followed tutorials and I've done everything they have done but when in Unity I can't see any Viseme Blend Shape for the LipSync.
I can see and use them perfectly in Blender.
What could be the cause ?
Is it an Export option I didn't see ? I don't really know.

[junior void]

blendshapes like to disappear if you have unapplied modifiers on export oher than armature

[gusty meteor]

Oh I see

But I can't apply the modifier to a mesh with shape keys

[junior void]

theres a free addon for that

its name is literally apply modifier to mesh with shapekeys

[gusty meteor]

eh, now I have some of them but not all of them

[junior void]

that tells me nothing

[gusty meteor]

I applied my modifier with the free addon you told be about. Exported again. Deleted the old one in Unity, fresh import, exported materials, set rig to humanoid etc...
But now in LipSync I have some Viseme Blend Shape but some of them are still not present

Hm so it looks like some of my visemes do not change anything so because they are empty Unity deletes them. That's my guess

[junior void]

yes, blendshapes that move 0 vertices get culled

[gusty meteor]

Is that normal for my avatar's vrc.v_sil blendshape to be empty for example ?
I'm doing a Vroid avatar and I have too in the past, but I didn't encounter this problem before.

[junior void]

yes, but you only need to move one vert by 0,000001

[gusty meteor]

Okay I'll try thanks

How do you move a vert by a tiny amount again ?

[balmy barn]

vroids have enough shapekeys to generate all the visemes in blender

[gusty meteor]

Well I have some empty shape keys
And I've checked on my old model and it was the same

like vrc.v_pp or vrc.v_sil are empty

Hm well actually some non-empty blendshapes get deleted too. For example vrc.v_ou definitely move some verts in blender but gets deleted anyway. So there's something else

[junior void]

are you sure the correct mesh is selected

the naming suggests you have duplicates

[gusty meteor]

Yeah but no. I think it's when I've merged all my meshes back together, CATS named it like this

[spark walrus]

It keeps popping up like this and I can't upload it Does anyone know how to work this out?

[wintry ledge]

how to change the amount of items i can spawn?can i? i have a glowstick asset and when i test in game,seems i cannot spawn more than 4-5 at a time,when i try to spawn the next one,it does appear in my hand but when i let go(you can drop them) it disappears :/

[hallow berry]

Depends how the glowstick was made. Is it a particle system?

[wintry ledge]

not sure,how do i check that?

[hallow berry]

You'll need to find the asset on your avatar and see how it was made. It's probably a good idea to contact the person who made it.

[wintry ledge]

hmm i see

[torpid flame]

Anyone know why the SDK is causing materials to be swapped whenever i open up the upload window

[junior void]

never heard of that before

[torpid flame]

Yeah me neither

[junior void]

i gotta see it to believe it ngl

[torpid flame]

Just a nightmare

the only thing im doing here is opening the sdk window

[junior void]

reopen the project?

[torpid flame]

already tried all common trouble shooting

[junior void]

is the material changing or is it being animated

what if you use a different material

[torpid flame]

Im trying to avoid that as ill have to re apply to all of the meshes

It shouldnt be happening

[junior void]

how is it too much work to create an empty material and apply it to the chain and then open up the sdk window?

[torpid flame]

Its not hard. But the bug needs to be understood

[junior void]

dont you think we should find out if its THIS material or ALL materials?

[torpid flame]

Its just the one

[junior void]

you cant expect more knowledge without doing research and make changes...

[torpid flame]

I rarely reach out here .. if i do its a last resort. I usually do when ive exhausted the majority of typical trouble shooting and some advanced steps.

Ill keep at it

[gusty meteor]

Ok I found a solution to my issue !
I needed to apply the decimate modifiers before merging all my meshes back together.
I merged my meshes with the modifiers still there and when I merged them together it created one mesh and one decimate modifier that was simmingly all the decimate modifiers merged together but I may be wrong. I was trying to apply this new decimate modifier to my newly merged mesh but that was causing issues !

[spark walrus]

did anyone made theyre own vrm model and imported it?

i drag my vrm file into unity but it doesnt do anything

[somber sequoia]

I'd convert that to fbx via blender.

[balmy barn]

vroid > blender > optimize steps*stuff > unity

[somber sequoia]

^

[spark walrus]

that works?

[balmy barn]

done it on a few models

[somber sequoia]

otherwise you'd need a VRM importer for Unity and this doesn't work anywhere near as well
