[somber sequoia]

probably nothing significant

[junior void]

Ye not that i can tell

I want 3.6 speed tho

[somber sequoia]

can't say I've noticed any issues with speed at all

though I do run it exclusively on Linux, that may be a factor.

[balmy barn]

4.5.1 ~ 2-3 sec, 3.6 0.1 sec

[somber sequoia]

what are you timing there?

[balmy barn]

starting up

rest is similar

[somber sequoia]

oh, not sure I've ever cared about startup time

[balmy barn]

click and 3.6 is just done , 4.2+ wait im loading alot of stuff

its minor yes yes

[junior void]

I do stuff fast these days so i noticed it badly

[balmy barn]

read whats new in 4.5 so went okey ill try it, does seem faster on shaders , have one thats massive 140 something shaders and its hell alot faster then 4.2

[hearty gazelle]

Yea I’m gonna have to send the files over to someone

[junior void]

Unlikely that someone here will do all that for you as a favor. I suggest vrc traders discord for that

[balmy barn]

its for quest right, a vrm will have black spots all over so it will need alot of knife cut work or just ignore them but your eyebrows gonna be funny

[hearty gazelle]

So how do I deal with the black spots or do I just ignore them

Cause the reason why I did unity instead of using blender is cause blender just doesn’t work

[balmy barn]

unity vrm converter leave a giant mess and unoptimized av , few will see it - android especially

[hearty gazelle]

Few will see the black triangles?

[balmy barn]

since vroid uses alot of cutout / alpha you end up with these black spots and other places on avatar

[nimble chasm]

in unity the blue vrc contact reciever ring doesnt show up anymore, any tips?

[somber sequoia]

did you turn off gizmos? Little "world" icon at the upper-right of the Scene view

[nimble chasm]

ah hah! thank you!

no wait i lied

its still gone

[hearty gazelle]

Ah ok so will the black triangles be seen in vr chat itself especially with android/quest users

Or will the triangles be seen in vr chat itself

[junior void]

Quest users will see the black. Pc wont if you use a shader with alpha options

[nimble chasm]

i can see sound but the blue reciever ring is still gone

[somber sequoia]

obviously I can't see what you can...

can't? haha

[junior void]

Receiver object toggled?

Script disabled?

[somber sequoia]

object visibility toggled off?

[nimble chasm]

i added a new reciever and im able to see it, just not the old one so

a little odd but if it works it works right !!!

thank u guys

[hearty gazelle]

Oh ok so then how do I make sure pc and quest users won’t see the black then

Just wondering

[junior void]

Quest does not support alpha

The only way for quest to not see the black spots is to cut them away in blender

[hearty gazelle]

Ok

[round comet]

I’m still struggling with weightpainting clothes on a certain avatar :’)

Anyone have any tips

People mentioned posing the avi in certain ways to fix stuff, and that mostly helped

Also have already shapekey’d whatever I could and sculpted so it’s just weightpaint now

[junior void]

My main tip would be using weight transfer to copy from the base

[round comet]

I’m using robust weight transfer as an addon if that works

It helped for the most part but still needs a lot of tweaking since the clothing isn’t meant for the body base

[real fjord]

big words

[junior rock]

Yeah thing is I dont how to do allat. I am a tiny brainless kitten waaaaaa

[round comet]

Asking for comms may get you scammed honestly

[junior rock]

Ok

[round comet]

Also against server rules

[junior rock]

Once I figure out 3 modeling software I will take over the world

[round comet]

Its fun if you ever need blender help for optimizing

I be doing it all the time

[lilac orbit]

who asked?

[round comet]

Informing people is helping them ?

Also avoids a warning from a chat mod since it breaks server rules

Lending people a helping hand by giving them information isn’t bad

[lilac orbit]

that's good, if need help come here if wanna commission go to Vrc trader

[round comet]

Exactly :)

[nimble chasm]

im trying to add an audio source that is triggered by a receiver in unity, ive gotten it to work before on a different avatar, and ive watched a couple videos on them but some are old

[teal laurel]

No worries, dropping vram / texture memory usage and merging some meshes can be done easily without any knowledge.
Ofc you can do more fone grained optimisations but the basics are already sufficient most of the time

[junior rock]

I will see what I can do

[lapis jungle]

hey whenever I have my shirt on with the vrc sdk open it automaticlly hides it, am I hitting a limit for the quest build or do I just need to save and reopen my project

[round comet]

probably the second thing

opening the SDK shouldnt be shutting anything off

[stiff shoal]

If i know what your talking about try making the outfit you want to not be hidden a prefab it seems to take like the first upload and forces it to be the perm upload until you make a new prefab

could be wrong though

[balmy barn]

remove any controller from animator or it does wierd things when you click sdk (newer 'bug')

[stiff shoal]

thats the same thing i just mentioned im pretty sure

[round comet]

Fixed my weightpaint. Ty guys for the help

[cobalt zephyr]

can anyone give me some ideas for the body fur?

[median glade]

how easy would it be for someone not at all knowledgeable with unity to change a contact point from grip to just grip button as a trigger?

[cobalt zephyr]

not too happy with the yellow fur but idk what else to try that matches well with the blond hair and blue eyes

feels like everything blends togheret a bit too mutch

[median glade]

this seems to be the right place but to me it looks like it's allready set to jstu trigger or is it hand R grip + right trigger, would deleting the hand part set it to just trigger by finger

https://prnt.sc/B_zuntU3_aUB

[round comet]

Stripes? :o

[balmy barn]

make contact detect right/left hand + gesture move object to that hand ( bit annoying to test in unity and to explain ) have one like this in unity that work , detect hand when its in receiver - then if i do that hand gesture to fist it will move the object to hand ( vrc constraint )

well this shows L & R but its ment to be both Right duh

right hand in reciever = active , then right fist gesture its now in the hand

[median glade]

what I allready have works for everyone else who has used the avatar, it just doesn't seem to work for me my controller has no seeming errors, all the fingers and grip track, i've repaired vrchat files

So i just wanted to remove the grip requirement

[balmy barn]

allow self / others and you have local wich is bit odd

local i use to glow up the thing so i know im touching it doesnt need to tell others that

[median glade]

others isn't checked

I'm just assuming the collision tags handR is grip and finger index r is the grip trigger, would deleting hand remove the need to grip

[balmy barn]

your is either of those , not both have to be active

for that you need transitions in the controller (what im doing)

[median glade]

I'm really trying to figure out what the root cause this doesn't work for me specifically is. if both grip and trigger seperately should work that is odd because this in no way works when I use it. but others with the avatar have no problem

I'm not ready to dabble with animations quite yet , my skillset with unity is not good

[median glade]

changed it to just finger index R still doesn't seem to work no idea what is going on at this point I never edited this avatar when it stopped working and it works for everyone but me

gonna try swapping it to a left hand trigger see if issue is the right controller

[balmy barn]

create something that changes color when left or right hand is in it , debug, then add more stuff after , contacts not really easy to explain , you should also check your finger colliders ive had rare avatars where they were nowhere near the finger

[median glade]

how would i check finger colliders

[balmy barn]

expand colliders in descriptor they appear

[median glade]

gotta give up on this for now, none of the screens look the same and google doesn't help either

[round comet]

just uploaded my avatar but lip sync isn't working. Any clue why? :o

bones are mapped correctly and theres no jaw bone either

[balmy barn]

missing any visemes? , if one is they all stop working

[round comet]

oh! sil, I'm missing that one, but the head doesnt have it

[balmy barn]

thats just basis , you can use that or duplicate

[pine valley]

(also, note that having a humanoid jaw bone is irrelevant here)

[round comet]

ok, good to know ^^ I'll add one

[balmy barn]

just dont animate one assigned to a viseme it doesnt like that

[round comet]

I know sometimes a jaw bone can break stuffs so thats why I mentioned it

[round comet]

so could I hypothetically just make an empty shapekey on the head and use that? :o

[balmy barn]

bone assigned to jawbone usually made some part of my hair vibrate

[round comet]

ou weird

[pine valley]

that's...odd

perhaps your hair was weighted to the jawbone

[balmy barn]

nah it grabbed a hair bone randomly

or a spare eyeball

[round comet]

freaky, I wonder if it was assigned under the jaw?

[balmy barn]

havnt done it in a few years just funny when i notice some old av that has it still

[pine valley]

oh, so the automatic bone assignment messed up

Having a jaw bone in the humanoid avatar will prevent you from manually animating the bone with a non-humanoid animation

and generally leaves your mouth hanging open

hence why it's often removed

[round comet]

yeh, peeped just in case

I made a shapekey and gonna use that for the missing one in lip sync

deadass thought I broke her head because her eye look was originally being weird too lol

[whole sigil]

Is there an easy way for an avatar to track if a physbone is currently being held by someone (doesn't matter who)? I tried just having a hand receiver in the same place but it doesn't actually seem to consistently work

[supple zinc]

Hey guys how could I properly adjust the angle between the avatars pelvis and thigh bones?

[balmy barn]

{parameter}_IsGrabbed , use that to do stuff when people grab a physbone (must have radius)

old exsample

uses is grabbed as transition + changes blendshapes depending on angle (float)

[zenith sparrow]

Hello. Today's Topic: AAPs. I've been trying to create something that goes something along the lines of...

animating a cube (as an example) that grows and shrinks via shapekeys. Say, for example, the ball increase animation goes from 0 to 0.8. Then I want it to start to decreasing (with an inverse animation) starting at that 0.8 (0.2 in inverse) value to 0 (1 in inverse).

This requirement seems to imply that the animations controlling the size should be controlled by the AAP via motion time. However I'm having trouble figuring out how to increase and decrease the value of the AAP accordingly. I hope someone could help me as I've been trying to figure this out the past two days. If a template could be could be provided that will help me so much. (Ignore the muted transitions)

As a sidenote, I could easily create this with driver parameters, but what's the point if I don't learn something new?

[pine valley]

Check this out! https://vrc.school/docs/Other/Advanced-BlendTrees/#382b25efca9e461cb97de8d819bdc057

I've used this to make things that heat up and cool down slowly

[zenith sparrow]

Linear Smoothing?

[pine valley]

Yes

You have to "remember" the value of the parameter from one frame ago, then adjust it a tiny bit

[zenith sparrow]

Thank you so much. I had overlooked this part of the website

[pine valley]

if the old value was 0.8, you add 0.8, then subtract 0.01. now your value is 0.79

note that you need to measure the framerate and multiply that in when deciding how big your step size should be

otherwise the parameter will change faster at high framerates

[zenith sparrow]

Oh ok. I'll keep that in mind. Thank you so much

[inland seal]

How do I fix the problem with looping animations.

Nvm, fixed

[glacial helm]

Does somone know how to trigger on and off Bools with Contact Sender and Receiver? it only supports "Constant" which means the bool is active while the contact is touching, On Enter triggers it only On and Off and Proximity will not really work at all for bools

i want that when the hand touches the thighs it triggers the bool to be on even when leaving the contact zone. Why does vrchat not natively support this?

or do i miss something out here

feel free to ping me

[pine valley]

The contact receiver's sole job is to tell you if contact is happening

It won't "remember" a contact

You can use a Parameter Driver to achieve this, though

https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/state-behaviors/#avatar-parameter-driver

This lets you set a parameter when you enter an animator state

[glacial helm]

i do use a parameter driver

but the contact reciever kinda overrides it

but i will figure it out i think thank u

[pine valley]

You need to use a second parameter

The “sense” parameter, controlled by the contact receiver, is getting set every frame

you can’t do anything about that

(Other than by disabling the receiver)

[glacial helm]

thas so awful

VRC should support this natively lol

[pine valley]

it's pretty straightforward

the sensor's job is to sense

[quick basin]

I been trying to import some models and every time I import it the models always get stuck at 50% for god knows how long, anyone have any ideas?

[pine valley]

Do you have a lot of animations? They could take a bit to import...although, generally not that long

I'd try importing a trivial model (e.g. just a cube) and seeing if that's slow

[quick basin]

Its mostly likely just needs much more time lol

I imported a model not long ago and that one worked fine

Its probably issues on my end lol

[sage gust]

so ive made a bit of progress but now am stuck at another hurdle "found duplicate transform" so how do i fix this

[quick basin]

-# W skin

[somber sequoia]

check your rig setup - it seems you have a weird bone in the jaw slot - probably remove that entirely.
But the message means you can't have a mesh object and a humanoid bone to have the same name.

[ebon bone]

How do I make my things animated I’ve seen them on avatars like shirts

[somber sequoia]

large and vague question - what do you want the animation to do?

[ebon bone]

I’m not sure if it would work but like animated eyes like the ones on pc but on quest

[winged bobcat]

someone please tell me what the problem is i am at my wits end

[wanton cedar]

clear the blueprint and try again

[winged bobcat]

there is no blueprint id

[wanton cedar]

then just try to upload again

sometimes theres a random hiccup

[winged bobcat]

i have tried it like 5 times now

[wanton cedar]

strange

[winged bobcat]

it throws this error when it gets to the copyright check thing, dunno if this is the problem or not

[pine valley]

smells like a networking issue

(that "blueprint ID" error always gets logged if the avatar build fails; it's usually a red herring)

[winged bobcat]

it just gets stuck at 11% on uploading and then fails

[lime gorge]

how can i reset my bounderies in vrchat? my feet are not touching the gound

i dont know how to use the camera because im dumb

[winged bobcat]

can you show where your avatars feet are in unity?

like in relation to the floor grid

[lime gorge]

if you can see my avatar's feet IS NOT on the ground (im floating)

[lime gorge]

@winged bobcat

[pine valley]

psycho wants to see how it looks in the Unity editor

not in-game

[lime gorge]

its in game

[timber wharf]

ye but its about an edtor, not game

[real fjord]

change your height

go to settings and either make yourself taller or shorter until your feet are in a good place

[timber wharf]

thats has nothing to do with feet placement , unless your playspace is also messed up, floor is floor

[jagged elbow]

whenever i change my material's shader, no matter to what i change it to, it becomes pink and idk what the issue is anymore, the URP shaders work but not any others. im porting my friends avatar over and if they need to change anything in blender or smth itd be good to know :c

[lime gorge]

why does it matter? i need help

[elder vector]

does anyone know how to remove rusk's hairpin

[frosty oyster]

you tried looking in the head/face part of the armature? if its part of the hair or head you have to remove it in Blender

[elder vector]

yea the hair is a single object

do you have a tutorial video for removing it in blender

[somber sequoia]

select object, go into edit mode, select faces, x to delete them

[frosty oyster]

or you simply import the model into blender, select the hair/head and click Tab then select all faces of the pin with L and then right click and delete the vertices

[somber sequoia]

yep, what I said.

[frosty oyster]

ye

js a more detailed explanation lol

[somber sequoia]

eh, without knowing what this is like, I wasn't going to suggest using 'l' since it might select too much. But sure, you could try that.

[elder vector]

thanks I'll give this a shot

I also seem to be having some issue with rendering a mesh for these diamonds

big headache

[frosty oyster]

hmmm

[frosty oyster]

np!

[elder vector]

I am using liltoon as per the developer's shader but it doesn't seem to show up with the right texture

https://booth.pm/en/items/5077877

here's the listing

[frosty oyster]

odd.. normally shoud work just fine..

[elder vector]

hmmmmmm

is there any way I could try troubleshooting

[elder vector]

how do I resolve a "Hidden/InternalErrorShader" error

[somber sequoia]

first thought: either install the shader package, or pick a different shader

[elder vector]

fixed thanks!

I didn't install a shader package

[elder vector]

err how do I import the model into blender

[frosty oyster]

do you have the fbx export feature on in unity?

[frosty oyster]

https://youtu.be/-voE4FrU0Ms

idk why its not embedding

[spark walrus]

Can someone help me make or make me a avatar but if u don’t make the avatar can it be free

[north atlas]

Like I said before.. they don't focus on the western market, but feel free to try these two out. Yes, they can have paid options. Yes modifying is limited. Yes it probably does not have avatars you like.
https://xr-marketplace.com/en/makeavatar
https://avatarmaker.vket.com/en

[somber sequoia]

don't export a FBX from unity unless you really have to - probably you already have a model file in the project you can just import directly.

[elder vector]

I believe I do but my project is saved as a unity file rather than as an fbx file

[frosty oyster]

right click the fbx in the heiarchy and find "Export to FBX"

[wanton cedar]

vrctraders is the place for commissions

[wheat escarp]

does someone had this problem before? im trying to export my custom avi to unity but in rig settings, but in unity i lost most of bones i dont know why, for example (two first screen shots) instead of having 2 bones on finger i only have one.

[ornate stump]

End bones in unity are displayed as spheres like in your image.

[wheat escarp]

how do i fix it

[ornate stump]

I'm saying it isn't a problem.

[wheat escarp]

welp the end of the fingers wont move without end bones right?

[ornate stump]

It moves.

[wheat escarp]

okay, but i have the same body on the other project, and it has those end bones, but not here

so that not a normal move from unity

[ornate stump]

That's because you disabled add leaf bones option when exporting fbx.

[wheat escarp]

its the same with leaf bones

[ornate stump]

Are you sure the other model has distal bones?

[wheat escarp]

what are "distal" bones?

[ornate stump]

Do you know a finger are consisted of 3 bones: proximal, intermediete, and distal?

[wheat escarp]

oh okay, those

yeah

but i have everything done right in blender, but i only have problem with unity right now

do i have to ss something in blender or unity? so maybe you will spot the problem

[ornate stump]

If your finger has up to intermediate bone then the intermediate bone will be displayed as a sphere which shouldn't be causing any issue.

[junior void]

unity counts joints, not bones

[static herald]

Is there anyway to make the files to an avatar smaller to upload??? Besides removing things off the avatar?

[junior void]

lower texture resolution

remove unused blendshapes (manually or using vrcfury blendshape optimizer)

[zenith sparrow]

If you have different outfits, you can always split them into different avatars

[hearty gazelle]

Ok so I got blender now

3.6

But now I need help with fixing the avatar and I put the cat add on for vrm and mats

[junior void]

iirc, thulen even sent a video showing what you need to do about the black areas

[hearty gazelle]

Ok also for that cat thing for the mats where do I find that or add the add on at

[modern glen]

ughh do i really have make 19 different mouth shapes

for visemues

is there like no easier way

[hearty gazelle]

So all I need to do is add remove the black triangles no or do I need to combine the materials to

[hearty gazelle]

Anyone know how to fix this?

[junior void]

"this"?

[wheat escarp]

welp

[junior void]

that has nothing to do with your fingers

go to the rig configuration in unity and map whats missing - ez fix

[wheat escarp]

tell me whats missing then

[junior void]

look at "body"

[wheat escarp]

upper chest

[junior void]

then set it to generic, appl,y back to humanoid and configure it again

sometimes it has seizures when you change bones

[wheat escarp]

nothin changed

[junior void]

is the correct avatar assigned in the animator?

[wheat escarp]

yup

after setting avatar animatior to none i can publish it now

[hearty gazelle]

Yea cause I used the cat plugin and pressed fix model and it made all my textures go white

[hearty gazelle]

Does anyone know how to fix the textures thing for this

[junior void]

you dont even need to fix that in blender because youre supposed to set up materials in unity anyway

so youre doing double the work right now

[hearty gazelle]

Oh ok so don’t worry about the model turning white

[junior void]

nah

[hearty gazelle]

Ok

And when I finish it do I set it as a vrm still?

[junior void]

no you export it as an fbx

[hearty gazelle]

Oki thx

[half ice]

how can i fix this error ? ...... I have this problem for 4 days and have tried everything.

[junior void]

this error is not meaning the avatar in your scene

it means the rig configuration - fbx import settings -> rig -> click configure

you seem to have 2 hip bones in the second image

[half ice]

i have only one

[junior void]

my bad

[half ice]

you mean hip dips ?

[junior void]

^

[half ice]

in blender ? or where can i find this settings

[junior void]

unity

click your fbx in the assets folder

[half ice]

i alredy checked this one

[junior void]

check if the correct avatar configuration is assigned to your avatar in the scene

if it is, try setting it to generic and back to humanoid

[junior void]

^ guy before you had the exact same issue lol

[half ice]

lol

[hearty gazelle]

Is there something that’s supposed to show up on atlas or no

Just wondering

[hearty gazelle]

So can someone show me where I’m supposed to stop at for the eyebrows and eyes in blender for the black triangles stuff

[gusty meteor]

Hello ! 👋
I'm having trouble understanding how fallbacks really work in vrchat.
So I have a very poor PC avatar,
I have the same avatar but in good performance,
And I have a Quest version of this same avatar in poor performance.
Can I :

• Upload my very poor pc avatar,
• Have the good version be a pc fallback
• Have an impostor be the quest fallback ?

[ornate stump]

Both PC and quest version of fallback avatar must be Good or Exce perf. Imposter is preferred over fallback avatar.

[gusty meteor]

So what you say is that I should upload my very poor PC avatar with the poor Quest version and have imposter fallbacks for both of them ?

[ornate stump]

No. I mean between imposter and fallback, imposter avatar will be prioritise to be displayed if available.

[gusty meteor]

Oh I see that's a shame. I put efforts making an optimised PC avatar to be a fallback.

[ornate stump]

Fallback avatars are going to be deprecated soon for imposter.

[gusty meteor]

But I didn't manage to make a good performance Quest version.

Yeah that's what I heard, I don't think they look as great as an optimized avatar though. But it is what it is

Thanks for the help !

[tidal void]

If an avatar eye texture seller tells me to disable pupil and highlight shapekeys for the eyes, how would I go about doing that?

[ornate stump]

Look in the head object in unity and try set blendshape sliders, see which one disable the parts you need.

[tidal void]

Found it, thank you ❤️

[hearty gazelle]

Quick question

When ever you press the fix model why does my model turn completely white like is there a way I can make it where they’re colors remain the same after hitting that button

Just wondering

Cause I need help

[pine valley]

what tool are you talking about here?

[somber sequoia]

cats probably

that's usually what people mean when they say they're clicking "fix model"

[pine valley]

break model ☹️

[somber sequoia]

yeah, it can when you don't have exactly the right conditions for it to work

[karmic spindle]

can someone help me fix this issue ive been trying to fix it myself but without success sadly

[pine valley]

This is your problem.

Annoyingly, Unity does not make it easy to find missing scripts!

If you're trying to upload an avatar you bought, check its instructions.

They should tell you what packages you need to install (e.g. VRCFury)

[pine valley]

(actually, it does say that it's on the "ratman" object, so check that -- you'll probably see a component that says it's missing)

[karmic spindle]

it says that a script is missing but on the site where i bought the avatar from doesnt say anything about scripts

[pine valley]

there may be a readme file that comes with the avatar itself

[karmic spindle]

nope no readme file just a unitypack file and even in unity no readme file

[ornate stump]

Then you'd have to guess. Common script to install are vrcfury and modular avatar so try those.

[hearty gazelle]

What’s the conditions I need in order for it to work

Jsut wondering

Cause I’ve been having this problem all day

[gusty meteor]

Hey I've got another unrelated question :
How can I make my avatar invisible and visible again but in Quest ?
With poyomi it's easy but I can't find a good way to do it on Quest avatars.
I've tried disabling the body or the body's skinned mesh renderer and it actually makes my avatar disappear but when I reenable them my avatar stays invisible.
Should I try to put the body very far below the ground maybe ? Or is there a better solution ?

[somber sequoia]

I don't use it myself, not really sure what exactly it does these days.

[pine valley]

disabling all of your renderers will cause your animator to stop working for remote players

that's why you stay invisible forever

i'm pretty sure you can just add a cube to your avatar and delete its only material

even though it has zero materials, and thus does not render, it still counts when deciding if your avatar is on-screen or not

(make sure you delete its box collider)

[somber sequoia]

oh that's clever, I hadn't thought of that

[hearty gazelle]

What do you use

Cause I need some stuff in order to make sure my avatar can work on my quest

[somber sequoia]

for what exactly?

[hearty gazelle]

For getting rid of the black triangles on vrm models and like other stuff for it to work on vr chat on the quest

[gusty meteor]

Ooh I see why now
Thanks I will try that !

[somber sequoia]

I don't do vrm models but I know how to use blender, so I'd edit the mesh directly

[hearty gazelle]

Ah ok

[somber sequoia]

also I didn't think cats did any kind of mesh editing like you're asking about anyway

[hearty gazelle]

So what would I need to do to combine all the materials on blender

[pine valley]

I switched to that from just using an invisible material. No material slots wasted!

[somber sequoia]

depends on how yow want to do it. You could bake to a new texture with a combined UV map, manually or via nice tools like SimpleBake, you could atlas with material combiner.

[hearty gazelle]

I tried combining with atlas but it doesn’t show up material combiner

[somber sequoia]

that tool seems quite limited anyway, doesn't it only do the albedo texture?

[hearty gazelle]

Idk I’ll just show you what it does

Or shows for me

[somber sequoia]

I saw a pic you posted earlier

[hearty gazelle]

Ah ok

But yea I just like can’t combine materials jus don’t know what to do next

But I just need help with this

Like it shows up here but just can’t like combine them for sum reason

For if there’s a manual way you can do it

[somber sequoia]

sure, make a new UV map and bake the textures to fit it

it's a bit of a process without a helper add-on like SimpleBake.

[hearty gazelle]

Yea so where do I go to make a new uv map and to bake the textures to fit it?

Just wondering

[somber sequoia]

In Blender, in the "UV Editing" section, at the top.

baking textures is... quite a bit more complex, I'd suggest a video tutorial. Possibly this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wG6ON8wZYLc

[hearty gazelle]

So would o still need the baking texture to combine the materials or no

[pine valley]

You would be generating a new texture, yes.

If your materials have overlapping UVs, you need to create a new UV map that doesn't have any overlap, then bake the original colors into the new texture

I haven't done that before!

[somber sequoia]

I've done it a whole bunch

[hearty gazelle]

I might need you to walk me through it

Bc this my first time doing it

[somber sequoia]

that video I linked should do that.

Also I don't use that method, I use SimpleBake. It's not free but so worth the money.

[hearty gazelle]

Ok

[steady nimbus]

Anyone know how to fix this, the physbones are acting like they are not on the wing

[somber sequoia]

heh, same question 🙂

[steady nimbus]

mb i just posted here cuz i noticed the issue

and really confused on the issue

[somber sequoia]

this is a good place to post it

So where are the actual bones? on the wings?

[steady nimbus]

yea

[somber sequoia]

that looks reasonable

[steady nimbus]

yea

but for some reason in vrchat, it doesnt properly follow the arms

[hearty gazelle]

Finished

Btw will these work in quest/Android

Just wondering

Cause I need to know

[round comet]

Your stats are more than fine for quest

[hearty gazelle]

Ok then

[steady nimbus]

so any idea of what could cause it>

or to fix

[somber sequoia]

not from those pics, sorry. Also heading out at the moment.

[steady nimbus]

alright

ur good

[hearty gazelle]

Ok I’m loaded unity what do I do now

I imported it

But it doesn’t appear

[junior void]

consider watching a tutorial

i dont mean to be mean but the questions you ask suggest you havent done one bit research yourself

[hearty gazelle]

Ah ok

Yea sorry I’m still kinda new to this stuff so apologies for asking

[round comet]

Drag the fbx into the scene

/ hierarchy

I usually drag mine into the hierarchy then it pops up into the scene

[pine valley]

https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/creating-your-first-avatar

This is helpful.

[hearty gazelle]

Ok

[pine valley]

I used this when learning to create avatars. I already had a lot of Unity knowledge, but nothing in there is too technical

[hearty gazelle]

Btw will this be noticeable in the game?

Just wondering

Cause ik my eyebrows will look a bit funny

[teal laurel]

@hearty gazelle probably no transparency

[karmic spindle]

can someone help me add a animation to my avatar the tutorials dont work for some reason

[late wharf]

You have to set that texture to toon standard then fix the culling I think that’s what it’s called

[hearty gazelle]

Where could I fix the culing at just curious

[balmy barn]

quest > blender knife tool , pc any shader that has cutout option

[late wharf]

Huh I’ve never done that one

But as for culing give me a sec to open unity

[late wharf]

Yes lol thank you

[balmy barn]

quest shader culling is just for backface

will still still have noticable black lines cause no quest shader have cutout

[late wharf]

You can mess with it and fix it I’ve done it

For quest

[half ice]

is there a reason whay i cant finde my avatar after uploading

[late wharf]

Yes

[half ice]

whay and how can i fix it

[late wharf]

Go on the website and check for security fails

[balmy barn]

'other' its not uploaded

[half ice]

where

[balmy barn]

offline built for testing , only you will see it when worn

[late wharf]

Let me open my unity I’m the person that as to see what I’m explaining

[half ice]

kk

[half ice]

ahh okk let me check

[half ice]

first or secound one

[late wharf]

Oh yes listen to Thulen I got confused

On who was talking lol

First

You want to publish it

[hearty gazelle]

Wait where’s that at

[half ice]

but gona be online for evryone like evryone can use it then or only me

[late wharf]

I can tell you another way to do it

If intrested

[hearty gazelle]

Okay that’ll help

I’m interested

[ornate stump]

That's publication settings whether it's Public or Private.

[half ice]

ahh okk thanks

[pine valley]

have you been following these instructions?

[hearty gazelle]

Anyone know how to fix this problem I have a vrcavatardesceiptor

Yea I have

[pine valley]

you may need to close and reopen the control panel

[hearty gazelle]

I’m gonna try to reopen unity

To close and reopen it

[pine valley]

close the VRChat SDK window (you can middle-click on the tab to do so) and then open it again from the VRChat SDK menu up top

[hearty gazelle]

Ok

Also another question is there a way to get rid of these black pieces within unity or is that only in blender

[verbal latch]

how do i make custom gestures

[hearty gazelle]

Ok so I tried that but it’s still saying the same thing

What do I do?

Just wondering

[karmic spindle]

does anyone know how to remove this wiggle or has a youtube tutorial on how to remove that wiggle from the avatar?

[pine valley]

that looks like physbones

you can search the hierarchy for t:vrcphysbone to locate the component

[pine valley]

Do you have any compile errors in your console? Switch to that tab, then hit the "Clear" button

You probably don't, since Unity didn't open in safe mode

[pine valley]

(compile errors will remain after hitting Clear)

[hearty gazelle]

Ah ok so I gotta go to safe mode first

[pine valley]

No, you don't.

I'm just commenting on what would happen if you had compile errors

[hearty gazelle]

Yea I’m

Um*

[pine valley]

oh, did you skip past the Safe Mode warning?

[karmic spindle]

those bones look very complicating do i just have to remove that and it will be gone or what?

[pine valley]

You can disable them by toggling the checkbox in the top left corner

[hearty gazelle]

Yea I think so

[pine valley]

I would suggest closing the project, then hitting "Manage Project" in the VCC and seeing if any packages are out of date

[pine valley]

e.g.

[pine valley]

If they're all up to date, share the entire error message in the console

[hearty gazelle]

Ok

[karmic spindle]

and then just reupload right?

[hearty gazelle]

What packages am I looking for to see if they’re out of date?

[pine valley]

Right.

[pine valley]

Anything that's installed in the project.

[hearty gazelle]

Ok

[karmic spindle]

okay so it worked now is the question how i turn up the speed on emotes because my emote doesnt keep up with the sound

[pine valley]

You'll have one or more layers in your FX Animator Controller that control gesture-based emotes

Click on the arrows between the states. These are transitions. See if they have a duration -- if so, try reducing it

[karmic spindle]

where do i find the fx animator controller?

[pine valley]

It'll be listed in your avatar descriptor, on the root of your avatar

(it'll be the top-most object in the hierarchy)

e.g. my avatar's root is the "Sergal" object

[karmic spindle]

idk what i am looking for tbh xd

i found the avatar descriptor

[pine valley]

You're looking at a test copy you built with VRCFury. You want to look at the original avatar

It is possible that the emotes are coming from a VRCFury Full Controller, rather than being part of the base FX controller (the thing you plug into the VRC Avatar Descriptor)

Do you know where the emotes come from?

[karmic spindle]

the emote with the sound comes from there its the sound audio with the animation inside linked to the avatar it works fine in the gesture manager

idk if that works but i think thats the original

[lilac musk]

You know the idle hand animation? It has slight movements to give a more natural look. However one of my avatars hands aren't doing that. The other hand does, and both hands go into the proper pose overall, just the left hand doesn't do the slight movements. Ideas?

[karmic spindle]

@pine valley are you there?

[fallen dirge]

so i got an avatar on booth, but it didn’t come with instructions for uploading it and came with 4 different files.. can anybody help me figure out how to upload it?

[karmic spindle]

are they unitypack files or what kind of files?

[fallen dirge]

unity pack!

another file contains the clothing and 3D object of the character

[karmic spindle]

make a new project with avatar 2022 and then just drag all files into the unity project when youre in unity

when you drag the files in it should say import

[fallen dirge]

there’s another problem.. i downloaded the right version of unity i needed and the vrchat creator, but it won’t open the project from the vrchat creator companion into unity

[somber sequoia]

what happens instead of it opening?

[fallen dirge]

it just goes to the project screen

[somber sequoia]

did you add the project by clicking "import" or somewhere there's "add from disk"?

(guessing based on what others have said, I don't use VCC)

[fallen dirge]

when i try to do that, sdk doesn't come up with it to let me log in and upload

it wont let me open from disk either

but it is a unity file

[pine valley]

you have to create a project, then import that package into it

the package is a bundle of assets

[fallen dirge]

i create a new project from unity?

[pine valley]

use the Creator Companion to create a new Avatar project

[somber sequoia]

oh I see, I thought you had a project already created

[fallen dirge]

i created one.. it won’t open unity when i open that project

[pine valley]

how did you create a project?

[somber sequoia]

again, what happens?

[pine valley]

you're in the "Manage Project" menu

[fallen dirge]

so this is what i have on the project for the avatar

[pine valley]

this looks correct (although you should update the SDK packages while you're there)

[fallen dirge]

when i open it, it doesnt open anything

it just takes me to the unity project menu

which is how i got here ><

[somber sequoia]

click on new project?

[pine valley]

it sounds like the Creator Companion is failing to launch Unity correctly

[fallen dirge]

if i just create a new project, sdk doesn't open along with it so idk how to upload the avatar to vrchat without it

yeah, i reinstalled this 3 times already from ground up

[somber sequoia]

I'd think it would show a project created though?

[fallen dirge]

wiped unity and creator companion

i guess creator companion is plotting against me

[velvet bone]

I'm having a problem with my AFK animation
I've replaced GogoLoco's AFK animation with the model's original one, but now when the model exits AFK, he's locked into the animation for another
25ish seconds, and then when he returns to 'neutral'.

When this happens in-game, he's frozen like that until I switch avis or reload.

How do I fix this animation error?

[karmic spindle]

guys how do i increase the emote speed on my avatar in unity somewhere in the unity avatar descriptor on my avatar?

[pine valley]

i'm not sure what you mean by "Animation inside" -- is there a VRCFury Full Controller on the "Fortnite - Orange Justice - Emote..." object?

[lilac musk]

Bump

[somber sequoia]

what do you mean by emote speed? I'm guessing maybe you mean the time it takes for an animation to happen? You'd have to look at the animations themselves, and the transitions

[karmic spindle]

nono i mean how fast the animation is playing

[pine valley]

ah, okay, it's an Animation Clip action

[somber sequoia]

Ok so yeah, the speed of the individual animation

[pine valley]

in this case, you can't easily change the playback speed

[karmic spindle]

do i have to change the value in the visual studio script or how do i do that?

[pine valley]

i'm not sure what you're talking about there

[karmic spindle]

do you mean by how the animation is slow or what do you mean?

[pine valley]

the Animation Clip action doesn't let you set the playback speed

that's the issue

[pine valley]

I don't know what a "visual studio script" means here

[karmic spindle]

in unity everything does have a script maybe the animation also has a script written in Visual studio so maybe i could try to find the value for the playback speed of the animation and change it to something higher

if the animation has a script ofc

[pine valley]

There is no script you can edit here. Animation clips are built into Unity

One thing you can do is to rescale the entire animation. This will permanently change the asset.

you can ctrl-A to select every keyframe in the animation window, then drag one edge to stretch or squeeze the keyframes

[karmic spindle]

would there be another way i could paste in a animation where i could also control the speed of it?

[somber sequoia]

wait, why can't you change the animation playback speed?

[pine valley]

it's a VRCFury toggle

[somber sequoia]

oh. So remake it without fury.

[pine valley]

yeah

You could use a VRCF Full Controller to merge it into your...Action playable layer?

I don't actually do a lot of animating

[karmic spindle]

but i dont wanna remake the entire thing

[somber sequoia]

if fury doesn't give you a speed option you don't really have another option

[karmic spindle]

isnt there the animator tab thing i think you can change the animation playback speed there if i make the animation there instead of a animation clip thing

or am i wrong?

[somber sequoia]

You can set the playback speed of an animation state in the animator, yes

[karmic spindle]

but in the animator is nothing currently its completly empty

[somber sequoia]

if you're using VRCFury for this toggle, yeah, that's not a surprise

[karmic spindle]

could i just remove vrcfury and something would appear in there?

[somber sequoia]

nothing will "appear" in there unless you put it in there

[karmic spindle]

this is so confusing either i just live with the animation speed i have from the animation clip or idk i try another way to import the animation and bringing it to work without remaking everything

[somber sequoia]

just do whatever you're doing in the normal way without using VRCFury

[karmic spindle]

but then i would have to remake everything

[somber sequoia]

well not the animation as that exists

but yes

[rain shoal]

I Uploaded windows and android, windows works fine, but quest just says pending in the game, even though it said it worked on unity. Please help

[somber sequoia]

don't cross-post. Does it say anything more? Maybe something like a security check failed? does it show up as a robot, or just not at all?

was it possibly very very poor for that platform?

[worn kiln]

deleted & warned

[rain shoal]

Sorry, but yes for quest users even when they show my avatar im an error robot, but on unity it says avatar uploaded, but in game when you go to avatar details it says pending on quest, this has never happend before.

[somber sequoia]

I don't think I've ever seen anything say pending

I'd bet though it's got something the security checker things is bad

[indigo compass]

Would assume it is the server-side security checks?

[somber sequoia]

yeah

[rain shoal]

sooo, what do i do

wait?

[indigo compass]

How long has it been pending?

[rain shoal]

like 30 minutes or so

maybe less

[indigo compass]

Should say failed if it failed

So donno

[rain shoal]

on unity?

[indigo compass]

No, in VRChat

The SDK in Unity is completely unaware of the server-side checks

[rain shoal]

this jus came up

[indigo compass]

That doesn't break server-side checks

It just means that toggling something on one version can do something random on the other version.

At least I think, VRCFury might be protecting against that

[rain shoal]

this is vrc

[indigo compass]

Have you tried to upload again?

Not impossible that it just somehow silently failed, like VRC side.

[rain shoal]

like 8 times already

[indigo compass]

Ah

Probably for the best to not try again then

Could try uploading to new blueprint ID, been several stories recently of almost cursed blueprint IDs.

[rain shoal]

how do i do that?

im farley new to this

[pine valley]

this bit me once when I created animations that targeted VRCConstraintBase through a script

that causes you to fail security checks

(i now target the exact type of the constraint)

[silver token]

When i upload an avatar, it successfully uploads to windows but when i try uploading the quest optimized one it fails upload and breaks the security check for the windows one?

[rain shoal]

mines simmlar, it just says pending though not failed

[silver token]

I've already tried logging out and logging back in, and reloading the sdk to no help

[worn kiln]

check your console for any error/warning. (post all if you not get details)

[silver token]

"error building player because script class layout is incompatible between the editor and the player"

[worn kiln]

[gilded turret]

is ren around

[indigo compass]

There is a component below or above the avatar descriptor that holds the blueprint ID, it is the thing that tells VRChat which avatar you are uploading for, it allows you to upload wildly different PC and Quest versions, since all that ties them together is the blueprint ID.

It has a button that says detach

[gilded turret]

id there a tool to see what unioty uhh

is doing i guess???

i dont know why changing outfits breaks body blendshapes and shrinks them because the annimations dont fuckin have anything touching them

im sick of this bullcrap on every model ive bought

[viral field]

When exporting an edited avi fbx back to unity what settings should I use? I tried editing the regulus one, but when I imported it back it fucks up the prefab and the fbx gets all crumpled in play mode.

[hard hatch]

Does anyone know if there's a way to merge layers in substance painter?

[pine valley]

The most important setting is the "Apply Scalings" one

Grab the original FBX and look at the scale of the Armature object

If the scale is [100, 100, 100], then you should use the default "All Local" setting

If the scale is [1, 1, 1], then you should use the "FBX All" setting

If you get the scale wrong, then the humanoid avatar's bone positions will be off by a factor of 100

[somber sequoia]

I don't think you can do that, or how it would even work really

[glacial helm]

it still can desync

thats the issue its bad networking

[low socket]

guys what are some good avatars to wear

[somber sequoia]

whichever one you like?

[low socket]

any

just anything that's good

except furries and anime

[vapid ginkgo]

Is there a setting in steamvr to shift my head left or right? For some reason, my head is a bit shifted to the right and i wanted to center it. Can tell when I put my controllers on my side where my left hand goes in my avatar a bit but not my right. I use an index with 6pt tracking (fbt).

[hard hatch]

Maybe its something with calibration?

I personally dont use steamlink because of how easily it breaks or crashes but I'd say probably try to see if there's anything that allows you to recalibrate your positioning

[half ice]

how can i fix this error i cant upload my avi couz of this error

[pine valley]

yes, remote tracking data might differ from local tracking data

I would suggest having a local-only contact receiver. Use that to turn on a synced bool parameter.

I do this for anything that really needs to stay in sync

for things like hit effects, I sometimes use non-local-only contact receivers

[glacial helm]

yes thats how i do it

and it can still desync in some mid-rare moments

its not that bad

but still desync XD

[pine valley]

this is impossible unless vrchat's parameter sync is entirely broken

[glacial helm]

it was never perfect

[half ice]

any Ideas ? 🙁

[pine valley]

make sure that you have "Local Only" checked on the parameter driver, so that remote clients aren't trying to change the parameter

[glacial helm]

i do :)

i do these things since months now

but sometimes they can be desync

i have two layers always

one for contacts and one for anims

This is Contacts

This is to move the mesh using parent constraint

[wanton cedar]

How do you make a trail? I dont mean the finger trails. Like when you walk sometimes there might be pawprints or just something following the feet.

[pine valley]

you'll want a particle system for that

[glacial helm]

The contact itself

it works 90% in all cases

[pine valley]

what are the conditions on these transitions?

[glacial helm]

but theres still this 10% where the parameter bool is true only for me

[wanton cedar]

any certain one?

[glacial helm]

contact layer ^

Mesh layer:

[pine valley]

and what do the "Move To Hip" and "Move To Hand" states do?

[glacial helm]

Triggers the mesh Synced to Players

[pine valley]

isn't that going to rapidly oscillate back and forth? setting Grenade to false will make you exit "Move To Hip", and then you'll enter "Move To Hand", which'll set Grenade to true, thus sending you back to "Move To Hip"

[glacial helm]

nope does not go rapidly back and fort

nope doesnt sends it back at all

[pine valley]

that is explicitly what your transitions and parameter drivers will do.

[glacial helm]

nope :D

[pine valley]

then something is missing from this picture

because that is very clearly what would happen

[glacial helm]

no, you are right but thats not how VRC Contacts work with bools

[somber sequoia]

unless those are the only two errors, post the first (at the top) 2-3, these are usually side-effects of previous errors.

[glacial helm]

VRC Contacts only trigger bools while you are inside the zone when using Constant. Or they will be triggered for a frame when using On Enter

[pine valley]

unless the contact receiver is getting moved, of course

[glacial helm]

what you see in the animator is a trick to enable and disable a bool with two layers

[pine valley]

yes, I'm aware of how contact receivers work

[glacial helm]

because VRC Contacts dont allow us to enable or disable a bool when touching the zone one time

thats why you need two layers

thats why you also see two conditions on the Contact Layer

[pine valley]

depending on the durations and exit times of those transitions, you may or may not have a problem

[glacial helm]

yea i try to make it work right now

it would be easier if VRC Devs just add a fourth option and call it "Trigger Bool" or smth like that

[pine valley]

i would suggest making the only condition for leaving the "Move To" states be that GrenadeGrab is false

[glacial helm]

then we would only need 1 layer without sketchy animator tricks

[glacial helm]

that will make it spring back

you need 2 conditions

[somber sequoia]

basically you want a latching switch instead of a momentary one 🙂

[pine valley]

no, it will make you wait in the "Move To Hip" state until your hand stops touching the grenade

then it will return to the idle state

[glacial helm]

i did this before and it didnt work

and when i check reference animators from grenade scripts or watch youtube tutorials they all use 2 conditions

i tried it with 1 condition for like 5 hours

[pine valley]

what's the point of checking the Grenade is true when exiting the "Move To Hand" state? By definition, it must be true, because entering the state causes Grenade to become true

[glacial helm]

1 Condition is for Contacts
2 Condition is for the Synced Animation for other players

[glacial helm]

let me explain:

Grab Grenade is the Local Parameter
Grenade is the Parameter to enable and disable the Mesh

The Grab Grenade Parameter is triggered by the Contact. Since the Parameter will be triggered only for a frame it needs a second parameter

If you use the same Parameter for Contacts and Mesh the Contacts Component will override the Parameter even if you use Parameter Driver

[pine valley]

Yes, I explained that to you a day or two ago :p

I know how the system is supposed to work

[glacial helm]

Contacts override Parameter Driver

and thats why i do use two conditions instead of one

[pine valley]

I'm talking about two conditions in a transition, not two parameters, mind you

That is what doesn't make any sense to me

[glacial helm]

two conditions are two parameters....

[pine valley]

Why is the Grenade condition here?

[glacial helm]

it checks for the synced parameter

[pine valley]

Why?

[glacial helm]

because if you dont have it it will desync ^^

try it yourself

thats how literally 7 other asset creators did and how they yt videos did explain it and how i found it out by myself

[pine valley]

when you enter the state, the parameter driver sets the synced Grenade parameter to true.

checking if it's true seems pointless to me

[glacial helm]

ok lets do a experiment what should i delete in your opinion

and we try

[pine valley]

your transitions should just be:

Idle -> Move to Hip:

• GrenadeGrab true
• Grenade true

Move to Hip -> Idle:

• GrenadeGrab false

Idle -> Move to Hand:

• GrenadeGrab true
• Grenade false

Move to Hand -> Idle:

• GrenadeGrab false

[glacial helm]

aight wait let me do

[pine valley]

This will cause you to wait until the contact is no longer overlapping

Note that none of this should have anything to do with desync

(do make sure you turn on Local Only on the parameter drivers, by the way)

It should be impossible for a remote user to ever enter those states

unless you've made GrenadeGrab default to true

[glacial helm]

will do in a bit i will let u know

[pine valley]

I would also make sure you don't have another contact receiver that tries to control the same parameter

[pine valley]

even if the aniamtor is bouncing back and forth, the end result will still be synced correctly; it'd be no different than rapidly toggling something in a menu

[glacial helm]

for the test its HandL

but i will make a custom sender later

[native cairn]

Why is the tail bow blue? They are supposed to be pink

[glacial helm]

no no only one

[somber sequoia]

possibly that part has vertex colors - the shader you are using will apply those

[pine valley]

Good catch

You can find out by switching to the "Vertex Paint" mode in Blender with the object selected

you'd see something like this

[native cairn]

I never touched the Vertex colours. I should turn off the import Vertex color settings

Im seeing no color?

[pine valley]

hmm

[native cairn]

What's the issue? That wasn't the vertex color lol

[pine valley]

anything in the "Color Attributes" list in the Data window?

[native cairn]

Ohh I see

[pine valley]

sneaky

Blender will export...one of them, idk

[somber sequoia]

ah yep, could be it

[pine valley]

I have my own insane homebrew attribute export system, so I've never thought about that much

[native cairn]

ahh I see the issue, whoop

thank yall

[somber sequoia]

nice! that's easy

[pine valley]

set your color to white and Ctrl+X to fill it

or just the nuke the attributes, actually

[native cairn]

im just going to remove it

yeah

Thank you for helping me :)

[pine valley]

no prob!

[unique osprey]

anyone know how i can make hair/tails more "floaty" or "flowy" like some peoples hair defy gravity and flow around, looking for that effect

[somber sequoia]

depends on what your physbone settings are now, but probably less spring and less gravity

[unique osprey]

ah okay, do you know where i can find those settings?

[somber sequoia]

not really, could be anywhere on your avatar. Maybe on the hair root bone, maybe somewhere else

[unique osprey]

ahhhhh i see what you mean, thank you for the help!

[prisma plover]

Genuinely so stumped with this. I get 1 or 2 uploads that succeed and then fail every single time for the rest of the day.

I have tried everything i can think of, Renaming armature, texture memory usage is fine, mesh memory is fine, i can upload the test model in this project with no errors, I tried all 3 versions of unity, updating my repos, adding and subtracting dependencies and testing, downgrading the sdk-- i tried 4 different versions, changing the path of my SDK in program files, detatching the blueprint, removing animation layers, and loading into a fresh unity project importing the package and still the same error.

im genuinely really really frustrated rn

any suggestions on further troubleshooting would be grat as this error in consol gives me no useful information

[somber sequoia]

You do probably want to upgrade your Unity, though it may not solve this.

that one has a few annoying bugs

[worn kiln]

?tag scam

Hey ho 👋 I see you're looking for commissions.

You will probably receive DM's or friend requests from scammers now (or later) that will try to offer you their services. 😖

🚫 Absolutely DO NOT engage with those, regardless of how competent they might seem or their excuse to why they contact you.
This is unsafe practice used by scammers, and also breaks this Discord's rules. 👮

If you seek a creator, check out VRCTraders and follow their protocols strictly 🥺
(You will get DM from bot to verify your account upon join.)

🌠 It's extremely important to always DEEPLY investigate the account and social media of the person you plan to commission.
Is their social media linked in Discord? Is it legitimate? Are the references stolen? (Try to reverse image search posts to check.) 👀

When in the slightest doubt, do not commission them and contact the moderators of the involved communities. 😱

[trim shale]

anyone know how to create a new blendtree in unity

and have it in the assets tab

[trim shale]

nvm i found it

[somber sequoia]

curious how you did it? I ended up creating one manually, it's just a .yaml file

[odd helm]

im trying to make a color adjust wheel with liltoon but they wont show up in animations

[rain shoal]

Now i tried making another avi but now it says security check failed, although it follows all peramaters

help pls

only for pc it failed

nevermind i just had to reupload

thanks me

[trim shale]

i just reseted one of the blend trees that comes with the sdk

anyone know how to make this like continuous

[somber sequoia]

Ah nice, that'll work.

[tidal void]

If my avatar is going to be private, do I still need to select a content warning if it is sexually suggestive?

Or leaving it blank risks it getting banned?

[bitter crown]

texture memory 96mb in unity . 150mb in game after the last update. i have no material swap anims i can find. is the sdk going to be updated so i can figure out the discrepancy?

[inland seal]

You mean looping?

[zenith sparrow]

Today's Topic: AAPs.
How do I go about "animating" contacts to obtain a value I can sync to a contact parameter? What exactly am I animating? Proximity to a receiver?

[uncut lotus]

I wanna make the stroller like, drag behind you, with the main part jsut staying on the ground, while the handle/dog moves around, even as it drags it around. Any suggestions on how, or if this is even possible?

[zenith sparrow]

How do the bones look like?

[uncut lotus]

I was about to go to bed, didn't think I was gonna get a response so soon, so I kinda just drew out the bones. So there's only 3, (besides the root one).

[zenith sparrow]

My ideas: One of the images
The one problem is see is that in the one with Handle as the parent bone, The wagon stays as you want, but the handle is limited in how it can move. As in it won't go all the way down.....

In the other with wagon as parent, we have perfect setup however I have no clue if it will work due to the handle @ hand being attached to the avatar

This is within my knowlegde. Is it impossible? For me yes. Probably. Hopefully somebody else can pitch in some idea

[uncut lotus]

Well, I wasn't sure if mainly there was like, a specific setting in the phys bone tab, that whole messing with the gravity and stuff, would keep the main part of the wagon on the ground.

I like that it follows the handle, and how it stops, but I can't figure out what setting (if there is one) that kinda, turns gravity on for that part, and sets it down on the ground.

[night ember]

There is literally a setting called gravity but you need to add a physbone collider to your root since physbones cant interact with world

[coral mountain]

how do I fix this issue?? when I click inforce tpose it works, I click apply and done, it goes back, ive done it manually, ive remapped it my self and I need help trying to fix it man- (ping me if you do respond)

[half ice]

have the same problem.. did you find a solution?

[hearty gazelle]

Anyone knows how to fix this or can you only fix this in blender

[junior void]

We already told you more than once

[hearty gazelle]

Oh right my bad

I figured it out now

[trim shale]

is it possible to have more than one running animation toggle? becausse everytime i try to make 2 diffrent animations work it never does

\

[ornate stump]

You would just have to add Dog Run as the 3rd motion slot instead of another blendtree.

[trim shale]

Ok thank you

[trim shale]

My dog run is my Naruto run too for some reason

[ornate stump]

How did you make the change?

[trim shale]

By adding the 3rd slot and changing the dog runs value in expressions menu lower than the Naruto run bc Naruto run highest value is 1 and I can’t go over that

Cause if I put them the same they both toggle

[ornate stump]

Also take screenshot of the change.

[trim shale]

.

[ornate stump]

Have you confirmed that sprint type can only have value set to 0, 0.5, and 1?

[trim shale]

oh so it has to be one of thoes numbers

so u can make only 3 of thease toggles is that what this means

[ornate stump]

Of course. Otherwise it will be blending animation between 2 animations.

[trim shale]

oh ok what if i added a new bled tree

blend

[ornate stump]

Why?

[trim shale]

sso i can have more than 3 toggles

[ornate stump]

You just have to add another motion slot.

[trim shale]

oh srry i started unity in march but thaank you

[trim shale]

hey so i made a 4th slot and in the menu the value its not letting me put it higher than 1 witch the threshold is 1.5

[ornate stump]

Threshold has to be normalized. You will see the new threshold value in each motion slot and update your toggle value accordingly.

[trim shale]

im trying but its not letting me go past 1

[ornate stump]

Normalized means value has to be in range 0 and 1. Not more or less.

[trim shale]

oh but its 1.5 do i change the number

[ornate stump]

Change the max threshold back to 1.

And I'm saying you should leave threshold in blendtree auto set as it is. And change only the value in toggle control to match with blendtree.

[modern glen]

i do not under stand what is wrong

[ornate stump]

Max threshold is set at the graph above.

[trim shale]

u want me to change it too 1?

[ornate stump]

You had 2 object with the same name which is Neck and unity doesn't like object with same name.

[ornate stump]

That's what I'm saying earlier.

[trim shale]

i know but i already have a menu toggle that has a value of 1 wouldent that blend them

[ornate stump]

You have to update the menu toggles to match with the new threshold values.

[trim shale]

how do you update it?

[ornate stump]

Just change the value in your toggle.

[ornate stump]

Why would you still want to set 1.5?

[trim shale]

i have no clue what do i set it as

[ornate stump]

You look in the threshold value in each motion in blendtree and set each toggle to each threshold value accordingly.

[trim shale]

so i have to change the 4th threshold because its 1.5

[ornate stump]

Didn't you set max threshold to 1?

[trim shale]

omg im sorry im dumb

[trim shale]

yeah i did now but can i use 0.3

[ornate stump]

Of course.

[trim shale]

ok

is that good

[ornate stump]

Manual threshold would work. You now just have to set toggle values to match those threshold.

[trim shale]

ok when i turn on automate threshold it puts it too like random numbers

[ornate stump]

It isn't random.

[trim shale]

oh

[ornate stump]

And I'm saying you're doing Manual just fine.

[trim shale]

would it be better to use the automate or manually

[ornate stump]

Whatever more convinience for you.

[trim shale]

Ok. Thank you

[modern glen]

why does my shape keys not show

[ornate stump]

#avatar-help message

[junior void]

you may have left an unapplied modifier in blender before exporting, which causes shape keys to not transfer

wow ok

[rough crow]

if there's anyone avaliable, can someone help me with an avatar im making? im very new to it and i've been stuck with the problem for a while..

its vrcfury is what im having issues with.

[ornate stump]

When asking to help with problem, you will have to explain the problem as well.

[rough crow]

oh yeah, sorry. im just a little irritated.

so basically im trying to add a component with VRCFury, and it says that its not placed on an avatar. i tried asking others for help, looked it up, watched tutorials. and nothing really worked.

[ornate stump]

Can you locate avatar descriptor anywhere?

[rough crow]

just found it

[ornate stump]

Is your object you're working with vrcfury is a child object of your avatar object? Also screenshot hierarchy panel to confirm.

[gilded turret]

your ehjere!

can i dm?

;w;

[ornate stump]

No.

[gilded turret]

:< i wanted to ask for help.. i kinda cant here.

[ornate stump]

Then you're not supposed to upload that avatar.

[rough crow]

i think i did it right.

i was shown to make it an empty object, name it anything, and put it in the root of my avatar.

and thats what i did, so i'm hoping i did something right.

[ornate stump]

Is your avatar descriptor located in the ritzycheese object?

[rough crow]

yep!

[gilded turret]

https://hello.vrchat.com/creator-guidelines

According to this its allowed. But its not a public avatar.

shrug

[ornate stump]

Then you should be able to ask question in the public.

[ornate stump]

Can you screenshot the vrcfury component you added?

[rough crow]

here ya go!

[ornate stump]

that's avatar descriptor.

[rough crow]

oh

my bad.

i think this means it's placed?

[trim shale]

lmao

[ornate stump]

Yes. And there isn't the error you talked about though?

[trim shale]

@rough crow ur using the wrong unity version bud

[rough crow]

am i?

[trim shale]

look in previous pic

[trim shale]

yes

ill send the link

[ornate stump]

Definitely wrong unity version.

[rough crow]

i didnt even notice..

is it supossed to have a cleaner ui?

[ornate stump]

UI is mostly the same.

[trim shale]

https://unity.com/releases/editor/archive go here and go to march 19 2024 and hit install

than it should bring you too unity hub

[rough crow]

ohhh

so i just unintall the one im using now?

[trim shale]

no just leave it its fine

but when you vreate a new project make sure to switch to 2022 the one u installed

create*

[rough crow]

okay!

[ornate stump]

The another unity would be just a deadweight now so as well better remove it.

[trim shale]

yea

or use vcc

Prob better

[rough crow]

well, the VRCFury error is gone! so thx for your help irumi :D

[modern glen]

y do eyes do that

[rough crow]

herobrine has infected your pc

[modern glen]

thats bad

[gilded turret]

Is there a tool to see uh... what animations/toggles are doing? Blendshapes are not activating

[ornate stump]

Debug panel in Gesture manager. As well as avatar debug menu in game.

[ornate stump]

Eye bones must be pointing up in blender.

[modern glen]

weird last time i did it it was fine

[ornate stump]

You might have already set rotation states to non-zero. Otherwise, eye bone pointing up has least issue.

[modern glen]

thats not better

[hearty gazelle]

Is there something I’m missing on the avatar for the colliders after you use them or am I just tripping?

[ornate stump]

How are the bones look like in blender?

[ornate stump]

Have you assign the collider to physbone?

[ornate stump]

Can you zoom in more? Also make sure bone roll is zero.

[ornate stump]

Actually you had 2 pair of eye bones, so make sure you assign the correct one. You are likely need to assign the smaller one instead.

[modern glen]

do i assign them both or only one?

like both of the big and small bones

[ornate stump]

Use only the pair of small bone. Because the big pair pivot isn't correct.

[modern glen]

okay now its back to normal

but when trying to set eye look this happens

[ornate stump]

Try set Y axis 90 or -90.

[modern glen]

yoo youre a magician

[ornate stump]

Your eyes bone has wrong orientation but that should work.

[modern glen]

aslong as it works

[hearty gazelle]

How do you do that?

Sorry I’m kinda slow

[ornate stump]

Look in your physbone component and you will see "Colliders" assignment.

[hearty gazelle]

Oh ok I’ll double check to make sure as soon as I load up unity

[hearty gazelle]

Yea it’s in

[sharp crater]

Where do people get fortnite animations? I'm looking for https://fortnite.gg/cosmetics?id=18596

[hearty gazelle]

Ok it’s there

So um what do I do?

Like idk what happened
