Oki doki
Ill try thst when o get the chance

[placid mural]

hi! i want to ask if there's any possible way to link an armature to an avatar model when the clothes' armature are not for that specific avatar in unity?

[umbral tusk]

You mean putting a clothing peace on an avatar and having it bend with the avatars bones ?
That has to be done in Blender but its pretty easy
Pxinky made a tutorial on fitting clothes on an avatar in blender

[placid mural]

Yes, because the clothes can't stick to my avatar🥲

Thank you!

[umbral tusk]

Im gonna take you have made it so the clothes fit the avatar so i skipped forward in the video for you to get to the rigging part

[strange dirge]

hey, I'm editing an avatar for someone, I made changes to the FBX and re-imported
everything working ok after resetting up references, but for some reason, when I go into play mode, some of the materials on my body mesh get shuffled around, resulting in the wrong materials applied to some parts of the mesh

I've gone through every single VRCFury component and active animator, and I cannot find anything that even touches the materials. I've been stumped trying to fix this for hours, and I just cannot figure out why my materials are getting shuffled at playtime

[placid mural]

Tysm!!

[strange dirge]

This is what my material slots look like when in play mode.... only head ,body, and leg caps are in the right spots

[somber meadow]

Have you already checked by temporarily removing the fx layer from the descriptor

[strange dirge]

this is what it should look like

[strange dirge]

not yet, I'll try that

[strange dirge]

problem still occurs after setting FX layer to default

[balmy barn]

2 & 4 had issues doing material swaps on 2019 i remember , but thought that was fixed in 2022

rarely ever do matswaps anymore

[strange dirge]

I havent had trouble with mat swaps, but the weird thing is there are no components swapping mats on the avatar. No components, and nothing in the FX layer causing it... seems to be something VRCFury is doing, since the textures get replaced by VRCFury optimized versions (I think?)
but I can't figure out how to correct it

[rancid anvil]

Is it possible with Rotation constraints to have the leg in the back move in the other direction?

[arctic ginkgo]

yes, you can set the global weight to -1 using the Free Edit option

you will need regular humanoid bones (not weight painted to anything) for the legs to move in the correct direction, then this leg will have its own bones that are constrained to the invisible ones

[rancid anvil]

Do I add the constraint to the non weighted bones?

[arctic ginkgo]

no. the constraints go on the leg that you want to move backwards.

• regular bones (invisible/not weight painted) move your legs like normal
• addtional bones use constraints to copy that movement in reverse
• the additional bones are weight painted to the leg so the leg moves in reverse

[rancid anvil]

what about something with 3 legs?
same way?

[arctic ginkgo]

yes, but they can be weight painted to the regular leg

okay

basically, you need to have the leg exist normally in order to be animated

then if you want anything else to move based on those animations, you give them their own bones and use constraints

make sense?

[rancid anvil]

Yes I think

[teal steppe]

i just made a change to my model because of this weightpainting issue, i would like to reimport the mesh without having to reconfigure everything i've done so far with assigning bones and such, ive tried the remimport and refresh buttons on all of the related assets and they havent done anything

[spare spear]

would someone be so kind as to help me with a physbones problem that im having in my avatar pls?

[rancid anvil]

is this for a humanoid rig or generic rig
becuz im trying to do this on a humanoid rig
and my results are bad

[arctic ginkgo]

yes, humanoid rig

you may need to adjust your constraint settings

[strange dirge]

when I build a VRCFury test copy, after deleting the VRCFury temp files, it still comes out with the wrong materials... I think VRCFury is causing the problem, but I'm still at a loss for how to fix this

I have d4rkpl4y3r doing some texture compression optimzations, but I tried disabling Optimize in play mode and the problem still happened, so I dont think thats it...

[somber sequoia]

just ask the question, don't ask to ask.

[somber sequoia]

material slot order is stored in the FBX, so maybe they got re-ordered when you re-exported from Blender. I do a lot of joining meshes right before exporting, and so have to be pretty careful which order I do joins in, lest the materials get re-ordered. It's annoying.
in theory you can re-order in Unity but I haven't had good luck with that.

[strange dirge]

that seems likely to be the cause of my issues, how would I go about fixing this??

[somber sequoia]

you can try to re-order in Blender but I've not had the best luck doing that either, it doesn't seem to affect things somehow. In my case I join my parts in the right order, not sure what you have to I'm not sure the best suggestion.

[unborn meteor]

Is there any way to have a rotation constraint work only in 1 direction. As in when the legs move forward but not backwards?

[slow panther]

all the other clothing on my avatar is assigned to hips, but when i assign my jacket it just floats? how do i fix this

[strange dirge]

if it appears correctly in blender, check to make sure it doesn't have any un-applied scale, or position transforms

[strange dirge]

I tried reordering in blender, it made some difference, but it was still wrong
hmmm... wonder if I can edit the fbx file directly?? is this info contained in the FBX or the meta file perhaps?

[slow panther]

i think i did this? i did apply all transforms (ctrl a) before exporting, it did do something because before the jacket was just laying on the ground before - now its just above

[somber sequoia]

iirc it's in the file, not the meta

[slow panther]

im rigging my first clothing to this avatar so uh i got weight painting down now i just need it to work

idk

[strange dirge]

hmm, fbx is not a readable format x_x
not sure how to fix this

[stuck glade]

the only notable thing i did different with my main is that i was tryna put the face tracking menu template, which did nothing but just, have the same menu that did the same thing (im aware now that the mayu has face tracking built in now)

[slow panther]

i figured it out, i just forgot to attach it to its armature

[zenith vine]

So I'm just now getting started with Avi creation but I'm not sure why local testing is giving me the error as if I'm trying to upload

[somber meadow]

You'll need to show what error you're getting

[somber meadow]

yeah build and tests for some reason go through the trust rank check

[zenith vine]

Huh....

[strange dirge]

aah, I fixed it! I had to select my body mesh in blender, mesh > sort elements > materials, and then re-export

[zenith vine]

So how do I fix that? Just wait with it open?

[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.

definitely just an oversight, but people can't really tell you the workaround without it "breaking tos"

[echo spear]

so, i have this particle and I'm having a hard time discerning what kind of settings I should be using, I mainly want to shorten the flame so the particles dont go upwards forever.

[teal steppe]

anybody know how to do this?

[tawny juniper]

heya so, i got my fbx file from blender into unity anyone know how to apply the texture?

[somber meadow]

do you already have the textures exported into the Unity project's assets

[tawny juniper]

i believe so

i got the face and body textures

[tawny juniper]

how do i go about it

[stuck glade]

help?

[supple needle]

How does one fix this

I put new gogo on my avatar and it just did this

[somber meadow]

you should install GoGoLoco with VRCFury or Modular Avatar instead then

revert what you did to put it on your avatar first (removing it from the avatar descriptor)

[supple needle]

I just dragged it on

I’m trying to replace already existing gogo

How do I revert it

[supple needle]

I can’t find it in vrcfury

[somber meadow]

it's a prefab that's within the gogoloco folder or a script in the toolbar under Tools

[dark jay]

Model has a short skirt not long like a school skirt, My models skirt clips into the butt when doing emotes how do i fix it i have coliders also front doesnt clip

[supple needle]

That’s what’s on it

I dropped it on my avatar and it gave me those warnings

It already had gogo and I’m trying to replace it

I couldn’t find the gogo that was already on it so I couldn’t delete it

[somber meadow]

these are errors from if you have GoGoLoco in the menu asset of the avatar

remove the already placed GoGoLoco submenu from the avatar's menu

VRCFury will add it non-destructively

[supple needle]

How do I do that

[somber meadow]

go into your avatar descriptor, find the menu asset at the bottom, double click it, find the gogoloco submenu and remove it

[supple needle]

So just delete the submenu

[somber meadow]

yes as VRCFury will add it on play mode or upload

[supple needle]

That worked- thank you !!

[fluid ledge]

Is anyone offering vc support

[tawny juniper]

how do i apply these to my avatar?

[somber sequoia]

those are animations, you'd make an animation controller or a layer in an existing controller and create some kind of logic to do what you want them to do

[tawny juniper]

T-T

[short ferry]

uhm what

[tawny juniper]

any way you could simplify that or how to do it

[somber sequoia]

I'd suggest learning about how animation in Unity works, it's not really a thing that's easy to describe briefly.

Also you'd have to know in what cases you want which animation to run

[spare spear]

could anyone help me with an error that i am having uploading an avatar

[somber sequoia]

unless that is literally the only error, post the first 2-3 errors, from the top. This is likely a side-effect rather than the root cause.

[spare spear]

cant rlly find anything else, im kinda new to this tho

[somber meadow]

Press Ctrl + Shift + C, and look in the console for the rest of the errors

[limpid star]

does anyone know where i can download the mmd tool i need for blender

[night ember]

Thats incredibly vague

[somber meadow]

That would be CATS, there's an unofficial fork that extends what Blender version you can use to the latest

[somber sequoia]

literally the first hit on google for "mmd tools blender":
https://extensions.blender.org/add-ons/mmd-tools/

specify which if it isn't one of these.

[limpid star]

apologies for not explaining properly but to make it more understandable, i wanted to download a character model from a Hoyoverse game. so i downloaded the model file; however, it was a PMX file. so then i did some research and it was explained in one of the videos i needed an MMD tool addon (Mikumiku Dance) to views these models. the one i found said that it only supported 2.10.3, hence why i came here to see if anyone knew an updated version of that addon for 4.5

[stark meadow]

there are animations in your project somewhere

whichever folder was opened in the project tab when you made them

you'll have to rename them in project not animation

[sweet crypt]

For the help section are we also allowed to ask questions about finding a specific asset(s)

[somber sequoia]

there's #1138520828556890214 , probably better for that.

How do I create textures for my avatar
-# blender btw

[somber sequoia]

Blender has a texture painting section, it's not awesome but does work

[autumn orchid]

Ah, oki doki!

[somber sequoia]

some add-ons can make it better, such as ucuPaint and LayerPainter.

[woven zinc]

Anyone know how to switch to PC? My unity is on Android and I can'tt figure out where to switch?

[somber meadow]

Ctrl + Shift + B, select the PC platform and click switch platform

[woven zinc]

This one? It's already set to windows but unity still thinks its in android

[somber meadow]

the fix for that specific issue is to re-select windows here

even if it's the only option, it should make Unity remember that you're on the Windows target

[woven zinc]

Ok I'll try that

Seems to have been fixed, thanks

hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me on how to get purchased avatars into the game 😭

[dark willow]

Hey, I'm back after a 7 years break and haven't been up to date with unity changes etc, I've made some avatars in the past, and see that they're now all unusable. I've still got a copy of my old Unity project folder containing all of those avatars, is there any quick way to reupload them?

[teal steppe]

maybe #creator-companion can help?

check pinned

[dark willow]

I will thanks

[autumn orchid]

how do you delete textures in blender?

[somber sequoia]

do you mean textures or materials? textures are generally just files

maybe try the VRC Traders discord. Link is in #1204490664637890580

[dark jay]

I have a skirt and its the length of a school skirt, Now I have my butt not clipping and when bending it doesnt clip but when i run it clips how do i fix that

[somber sequoia]

angle limiters on the physbones

[dark jay]

I have it on polar should i change it to angle?

[somber sequoia]

polar can work, it depends on how you want things to move and how the bones are angled

I tend to have the bone roll for skirt bones all oriented around the center, so angle works fine

[sweet crypt]

im trying recreate this shading around the hair i know its AO but i dnt know the proper settings anyone have any idea? ive never worked with AO before

[dark jay]

What do u set urs to

So angle would be easier?

[somber sequoia]

set my what, angle limit?

[dark jay]

U said something about bone roll

[dark jay]

And yea maybe angle limit

[somber sequoia]

all of these settings are going to be different for your specific armature, anything I could tell you wouldn't really help

for bone roll I find a center point and have all the bone chains roll values set around that center point, so the angle limiters are all oriented outward from the center also. You can do it in blender pretty easily with the 3D cursor.

[dark jay]

So explain me this whats the difference between - and positive numbers in roll yell and yaw

[somber sequoia]

the documentation covers this

[dark jay]

So - makes it move inwards or outwards?

What document

[somber sequoia]

hmm it doesn't cover it very well, but it talks about it and there's a little video

VRChat's creators site which explains the physbone component. I assume you've read it 🙂

[dark jay]

Do u have a link

I probably have

how do I get my inspector for animations (left) to look like the other one?

[hidden shore]

Hiyas, so im trying to set up a simple ball grab hip sender and receiver, it was working before, however i did an update to some of the components on it and now no matter what i do the receiver does not get a signal from the hands. Ive made sure the name is the exact same in the animator and in the param menu, copy pasted and such, but still nothing. any help would be greatly appreciated!

[civic cliff]

I tried using Jerry's Face Tracking Template on one of my avi's. but when i tested if it would work in unity, i couldn't move any part of my avi's face with AV3 emulator. im trying to figure out what happened with a video he posted on how to troubleshoot but my problem doesn't seem to be the ones listed.

[civic cliff]

upon further inspection, everything in the debug menu works from the OCS but not the blendshape

[hybrid iron]

Is there a way to remove the collision on physbones for your hands but have collision checks for you selected physbone colliders?

[dark jay]

skirt clips like this when running what do i do

[somber sequoia]

have the legs cause some movement of the skirt, possibly via weight painting, possibly rotation constraints on the right skirt bones... this is a bit challenging 🙂

[still jasper]

How do I make visemes for a character with 2d mouths? The blendshapes were already made in Blender, I just don't know what to do with them now.

[arctic ginkgo]

set your lip sync to "viseme parameter only". Now you can use an int type parameter named Viseme which will give you values from 0-14, each corresponding to a specific viseme. You can now set up animation states and transitions using this parameter as a condition to animation however you'd like. For reference, these are the values:

This table can be found here: https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/animator-parameters/#viseme-values

[autumn orchid]

how do i import my blender model into unity without the texture for it disappearing? :C

[night ember]

you need to also import the texture image and then put it on the material

[dusky walrus]

I need a little help!

I created a puppet to control the pose of my avatar's ears, and also an idle animation that includes intermittent ear twitches.

How do I make it so that when I use the ear poser, the animations don't break the idle animation? They move the same bone, I just want to make them mutually exclusive or something so they don't break.

[timber wharf]

@dusky walrus layer that is lower in controller, will take over when animating the same stuff

[dusky walrus]

Oh!!

Lemme check that out rq

[stone dew]

when i use pumkins to copy components to my modifed fbx the physbones are scuffed ;3;

[warm aspen]

Howdy so uh i have an avatr that the model is publicly avalible to download and i uploaded it alone with just a retexture but now it says i have to purchase it and it's greyed out note i have not updated it in a while with new sdk/vrchat creator compainoin

[fresh rose]

So if i make a avi is there a way to make it so they can only be found if given a link?

[hidden pelican]

someone know how to fix this?? its my first time uploading an avatar

those are the only warnings i get

[autumn orchid]

soo uhh.. how do you get lip sync working with texture faces? something i genuinely need to know

[hidden pelican]

idk its a done avatar from VRCModels

[balmy barn]

the known page that host stolen avatars wich noone here will help you with

[hidden pelican]

im very new at this part

it was on vrcmodels as a download

how do i check if its stolen??? because i dont want any stolen stuff

[autumn orchid]

yeah me still dont understand, i can find how to get it set up on blender

[autumn orchid]

referring back to this

[dry ibex]

Why does unity keep deleting the inside part of my models eye? (comparison between unity and blender) there are no fbx warnings that say they deleted any polygons either

[still jasper]

It is on viseme parameter only, but nothing else popped up. I might have to check the names of my shapekeys.

[sudden violet]

I might remember wrong, but as far as i know, the default colliders are HandR and HandL, i'm unsure if only Hand is a default collider. See if changing that fixes it

[still jasper]

It's not deleted, it's probably a back face. Turn on face orientation and see if the face is red. If it's red, select them, go to mesh -> normals -> flip.

Unity by default doesn't show back faces from blender, so it's probably just viewable from the other side and you just need to flip it

[hidden shore]

Ive tried doing hand R and hand L settings and it still doesnt recognize it :<

[arctic ginkgo]

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Nothing else is supposed to "pop up". Try looking up tutorials on 2D lip syncing, they should explain this process + show how they do it

[wooden nova]

how do i get my animation in the inspector to have the same menu as the one on the right

[night ember]

have actual animator keyframes

[wooden nova]

how would i go about doing that?

[night ember]

the menu on the right is if the animation is actually messing with the humanoid rig

[wooden nova]

thanks

[still jasper]

I am following a tutorial. On his end, there are several different visemes that are assigned underneath the box where you select the parameter. I'm not sure how to assign which mouths are assigned to which sound.

[arctic ginkgo]

That should not be there if you set the Lip Sync Type to "Viseme parameter only". What tutorial are you following?

[arctic ginkgo]

The whole point of "Viseme Parameter Only" is that VRChat does NOT directly control your lip syncing, but instead just tells you what sound you are currently making so that you can animate your lip syncing however you want.

it's for full customizability

[warm gazelle]

Please stop trying to add me or dm all i did was ask about it (already got a commision)

[lilac orbit]

most of the people who are dming you to commission them are scammers

that's why kazin gave you the link to VRctraders cz it's the most trusted platform to commission an avatar

[misty remnant]

i have a question about an error im getting, that im not sure the autofix can actually fix, i recently made an outfit for my avatar, but it gives me the following error, and i cant for the life of me find out why, since by all means, the prefab armature matches, has the same hip bone and everything, but it somehow refuses to get recognised. i had to end the task in unity after 25 minutes of it doing seemingly nothing, or at least nothing noticable. Is there any way i can fix this? i checked the blender file aswell, and it also seems to be a match in terms of hierarchy...

should i just let the auto fix run for what might possibly be a few hours? would that be the most optimal fix?

[sweet crypt]

i was trying to download blender this what was on the site

[still jasper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l--1c8QGpVw
This one

[still jasper]

So after setting it to that, then what do I do with it?

[arctic ginkgo]

again, you can add it as an Int parameter (Viseme) and you can use that for transition conditions between animation states

[arctic ginkgo]

In the video, he has the Lip Sync Type temporarily set to Viseme Blend Shape just to keep a reference up for the order of Visemes, but I already sent you the reference, so you don't need this. Just set it to Viseme parameter only

The tutorial also explains everything that you need to do

If you follow it all the way through to the end, you should know what to do next

Although I don't like how he sets up the animator

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vw1kZuKDPX8

this tutorial sets up their animator better imo

[still jasper]

How many visemes do you need? The video said I needed 15, and I did not make 15

I'll check out that tutorial, tysm!! It's my first time making an avi

[arctic ginkgo]

you need to transition to 15, but you don't actually have to have 15

so every sound needs to have a corresponding mouth shape

[still jasper]

Oh, okay sweet

[arctic ginkgo]

but you can use some of them multiple times

[still jasper]

That would've killed me redoing

[arctic ginkgo]

like for example, using the "EE" shape for "SS" and "RR"

[still jasper]

Okay, got ha

Gotcha*

I'll take a look at that right now :D

[rare frost]

[ruby summit]

im having problems with my objects on my avatar, i dont have the saber anymore but i cannot delete the submenu

i used avatar 3.0 manager for it

[wet pier]

Im trying to prevent this coat from clipping, how should i go about this?

[somber sequoia]

show us the menu

[ruby summit]

oh wait i think i solved it

i went to the menu and it was there

yep solved TYSMM

[somber sequoia]

Yeah if you didn't remove it from the menu file, you didn't actually remove it

[misty remnant]

i found a roundabout solution after asking some friends i know, apparently you can use modular avatar's armature merge to fix it, the way you do it is to put it on the outfit's armature, set the target armature to the main avi's armature, once you do that, there is a button to adjust the bones to match, you just need to click that and its fixed, if you use vrcfury for armature merging, then you can delete the modular avatar armature merge thingy and use the vrc fury one, the issue should essentially be fixed

[wet pier]

anybody have a fix for this?

[somber sequoia]

angle limiters, maybe what you're trying with physbone colliders. there's no 'fix', there's just ideas that might work in your specific case.

[civic cliff]

Unity keeps telling me that i "Failed to agree to ownership agreement" on the quest side of my avi and the top portion of the SDK wont load properly when i attatch it to the pc side of my avi

[lilac orbit]

In Blender, select your object, go to Shading, click the texture node, and load a new image to change the texture.

[blissful quartz]

does anyone have a glasses model with like nothing on it?

i cant find any that dont have gimmiks or tasels or what every

feel like thats maybe whats making it so that my ava wont work

also is it recommeded to use avatar 3.0 manager?

and does it clash with cloth utils?

[rare frost]

ok i will try this!! thank you for replying

Hi I have an old asset I bought and I need to repair the skirt in front I think. How do I do that or can someone show me?

might to be something to do with this> i dont really know but i want to fix it.

[still jasper]

Heyyy, I'm having a Unity issue. Already restarted it.
I can't right click in the scene view for that popup to appear for me to do things like create new objects and the animation tab etc. I don't know what it's called so apologies for my vague description
I sorta need that to finish my avatar it looks like.
Right clicking and dragging the mouse only moves my perspective around, not bring up any popups that I need it to

[rare frost]

aw im still kind of having the issue :( i might just have to restart on a new prefab

THank you for answering nad i will try again though, sorry for the additional replies <3 im kind of new to unity so fixing things and stuff im still not used to it

[barren wharf]

need some reception, do the proportions look weird on this?

[rain wave]

how exactly do I fix this?

[still jasper]

It looks like you're using a shader not fit for VR, you need to change the material shade. There's a dropdown menu when you go to choose material types that will say "VRChat/Mobile", use one of those

[still jasper]

The hands seem kinda small to me, but yea it looks nice

[rain wave]

I checked all of the shaders, they all seem to be using VRChat/Mobile so I cannot locate it.

[still jasper]

It tells you which shader is wrong. "UI/Unlit/Transparent". Can you show me all of your shaders/material tabs?

It could also maybe mean that one of your model pieces is untextured?

[rain wave]

let me check

[still jasper]

Double check and make sure every mesh part, especially the small ones or shrunken down bits for shapekeys are textured and have a material

[blissful quartz]

does anyone know if avatar 3.0 manager works with cloth utility?

[agile lagoon]

Hey, does anyone here have experience with clo3d? I could use some advice, trying to learn to do everything myself but it's hard haha.

This is just the prototype, I'm gonna mess with it a lot more, but I'm having a ton of trouble specifically with where the sleeves attach. Don't know why I can't get it to fall correctly

[misty remnant]

i have another answer on this

if you have modular avatar, right click the outfit prefab, select modular avatar, and then setup outfit

[dry ibex]

Thats not it, i have culling off on the standard toon shader

[dry ibex]

What i usually do is i select all of the faces that the mouth is touching, shift d, drag it a tiny bit foward, right click, seperate, move the uvs around and if theres more than one talking mouth then i duplicate that mouth mesh thingy and continue to move the uvs, then when im done i move the mouths a little bit behind the head, each mouth piece being a bit behind eachother to make sure nothing overlapping so theres no problems in edit mode, join everything, make shapekeys, then move each mouth to the front with every shapekey. Then in unity use vrcfury talking state (if ur only using 1 talking mouth shapekeys) or vrcfury advanced visemes (if u have multiple) then when youre done selecting each viseme thingy , turn on instant mode

[dry ibex]

Just dont get anything off of vrcmodels 😭 best option is to look at websites like jinxxy (i believe), booth, or gumroad for models

[silk panther]

I need help putting an avatar in VRChat

[elfin dune]

does someone have the answer to this issue?.

the weight paint swapped onto the opposite side, is there a way i could invert it back without having to restart?

[night ember]

just mirror the weight paint

[still jasper]

I REALLY need help on this. I can't progress until I figure out how to fix this. I need to create an animation for my visemes, but the little popup I have to bring up on the scene view with right click to select create -> animation keeps moving my perspective rather than giving me the popup. Please help :(

[somber sequoia]

hmm you mean just the popup from the right mouse button? weird. But for creating new objects you can do them from the main menu, under create.
I need to replace the main button on my mouse, it's been randomly releasing while I hold it, possibly you're also having a hardware issue.

[elfin dune]

i wish it was that easy but for whatever? reason the command isnt complying, just now tried to even reset blender 💔

[night ember]

could just rename the vertex groups then

like temporarily name left to something else and then name right as left and rename the original left as right

[dry ibex]

Im still having this problem if anyone could help

[night ember]

have you considered normals

[dry ibex]

Foward

[dry ibex]

Even then i still recalculated outside

[somber sequoia]

can't really tell anything useful from your images, unfortunately

[dry ibex]

Everything is how it looks 😭 i could show more screenshots if thats needed

[somber sequoia]

I'm sure it's not actually deleting polygons. Possibly a blendshape, maybe it's the material

[dry ibex]

No blendshapes are active on either unity or blender, i can try making it the same material as the outer which is gonna sadly limit some expressions i wanted to do but Ok

[somber sequoia]

are you doing sprite sheet animation with the material on there?

[dry ibex]

No

Im not sure what that is

[somber sequoia]

not sure what you mean about limiting expressions then?

[dry ibex]

I could material swap the innerpart of the eye to make a scared expression(how it looks now)

But joining the materials worked, thanks

[somber sequoia]

heh, okay

[elfin dune]

blender is being so lame but i heavily appreciate you for taking the moment to lend a hand

[tall dock]

Is there a way to modify the uvmap and make both arms and legs seamlessly connected?

[somber sequoia]

you can rework that however you like, including re-unwrapping it

[tall dock]

The thing is that I do not know anything about uv editing besides moving them

[somber sequoia]

okay?

[gilded turret]

helppp all my animation just broke and i didnt do ANYTHING

I did not move anything

They broke after going into gesture manager

Like im just t posing now and Modular avatar says i dont have a hip bone

please help

@ornate stump ;-; if around

[somber sequoia]

don't ping people for help, nobody is obligated in here

[gilded turret]

In no way does me pinging someone, asking them for assistance, mean they are obligated. Stop backseat modding. Its not against the rules.

[somber sequoia]

it's just rude.

[gilded turret]

No, its not. Its a function of discord to get someones attention.

You're rude though, for randomly jumping me and demanding I don't ping someone, asking for help.

[somber sequoia]

"jumping" sure, okay

[gilded turret]

I've pinged Ren before too, and he never said anything against it.

[gilded turret]

Go somewhere else with that douchy attitude.

I asked for help. You're rude as can be for no reason. You weren't even involved.

[tall dock]

I saw when you select the uvs that I wanna change I can unwrap it again and it just looks like it transforms into a hand

[somber sequoia]

it might have seams marked so it unwraps like that

but.. you don't want the hands to unwrap like hands?

[rare frost]

Oh okay. I’ll try that, but what fixed it for me was that an entire outfit was fucking up the armature and broke stuff. So once I deleted the outfit it fixed it

[slender loom]

Question, does anyone know where the is global checkbox in the parameters in vcc? Cause i have a toggle that works on my side but no one else can see it for some reason.

[somber sequoia]

it's in Unity, in the avatar parameters list, named "Synced"

[gilded turret]

Update, apparently my avatar doesnt exist.

Error:

Yup, project is probably corrupted.

yup just isntant freeze loads.

[tall dock]

I do but I want all the arm and hand as just one uv yk?

[ornate stump]

If you meant one UV island then it's impossible without severe distortion.

[tall dock]

oh dang it

[ornate stump]

It's the same way as how the world map is created. It's also distorted.

[gilded turret]

hi ren :>

[gilded turret]

UPDATE:

This item caused the problem. https://booth.pm/en/items/3811798

There's parts of Selestia inside the prefab, so it thought there was another avatar inside. How cancerous. Also against the rules for Selestia's VN3.

Solution was to delete all the Selestia bones.

Fixed Armature:

[ornate stump]

For future note, I only come to answer when I wanted too. Ping to call me while I'm not here is just rude.

[dusk moat]

Is there a tool to copy physbones/shapekey settings from one avatar to another ?

[ornate stump]

Pumkin's tools.

[dusk moat]

Thank you!

[dire heart]

any idea why this happens when I try to parent a mesh to a bone-

[proud jasper]

Does anyone know why this has happened to an avatar I'm working on? I like to use the realistic shading in poi and when I use that that happens to the body and even the bra and undies

[cinder mortar]

This wasn’t the first time I uploaded an avatar and I don’t remember doing anything different, so what’s this error? How do I fix it?

[dry ibex]

Why wont my physbones work on quest? In unity they work fine but when i upload it to quest the physbones are not there. I have no build/upload warnings and i have only 3 physbone components on my entire avatar

[ornate stump]

Find more error above in the console.

[ornate stump]

What exactly is "this" and "that"? And which side is the correct one?

[ornate stump]

Screenshot the sdk build panel to confirm the number.

[cinder mortar]

Is it the one that says ‘no asset bundle has been set for this build’? If so what does that mean

[ornate stump]

Is there more above that? Also take screenshot instead of typing out.

[proud jasper]

So the lighter side is using the flat shader and the other one is using the realistic shader I wanna use the realistic shading as I like that more

[cinder mortar]

is this helpful?

[dry ibex]

OH I FOUND IT nvm Thanks i have 73 physbone transforms

[ornate stump]

These are the problem.

[cinder mortar]

Ok I might have a guess what those mean? I’m going to try to fix it

[ornate stump]

And what had happened? You aren't testing in play mode so there isn't actually showing the result.

[ornate stump]

If you read them entirely it's telling what is happening.

[proud jasper]

One sec I'll put her in play mode using the realistic shader

[proud jasper]

This is in playmode can you see how the texture looks odd

[cinder mortar]

I’m sorry I’m not really sure what I’m doing at all I don’t know what it means. I saw the word ‘belt’ and realized I did something different with a piece of clothing from last time so I’m seeing if I can jerryrig it into working. I’m sorry I don’t know what the errors mean they’re scary :(

[ornate stump]

What is written after this? If it cut off, you click on it and see more detail below.

[cinder mortar]

It’s.. gone? Idk I went back to the console and it’s just gone. Most of what was in there is gone now?

[ornate stump]

If you build again it will show up.

[cinder mortar]

Ok I’ll try again in a second thank you

[ornate stump]

I'm still not sure how it is "odd". What you did was only changing flat shading to realistic?

[proud jasper]

I got someone to help had to change the model blendshapes

[ornate stump]

So you have to enable legacy blendshape normals.

[proud jasper]

All I did was that and she's fixed

[ornate stump]

If you leave the option as calculate, the sdk will warn and prevent you from building until you change it to other option anyway.

[proud jasper]

Ooooh okay I'll change it back to calculated

[ornate stump]

You misread my message.

[proud jasper]

I had it on imported before so I've changed it back to calculated and then put on the legacy blendshape normals

So like that right

[ornate stump]

Calculate would be the default option for unity. If it's something else that means it's changed by the avatar author.

[proud jasper]

I think it was that but I just changed it to imported to see if that would work and it didn't but enabling the legacy one has also fixed it that's that first time I've ever encounter that

[wind widget]

yall i need help im losing my mind when i go in game the avatar doesnt have gogoloco but when i go to add gogoloco in unity this happends

so it says i already have it in there

where can i find it to delete then add regular gogoloco

[ornate stump]

Have you checked in the avatar descriptor?

[wind widget]

im very new to unity how would i do that

[ornate stump]

Avatar descriptor is a component of your avatar game object.

[wind widget]

so would it be in here somewhere?

[ornate stump]

The topmost.

[clever python]

should be in inspector tab under playable layers, if its anything that starts with gogoloco in any of the layer the warning will pop up

[wind widget]

found it and got it to work thanks

i think

its still loading but its gotten further than before

[clever python]

:))

[wind widget]

i think it worked just gotta double check in app thanks

[clever python]

actually im here for with a question of my own too i need help with some toggles im doing , i have an avatar that can switch between genders, i got that toggle down but i need to havve the clothes be choosen after the genders are switched, is there a way to do that? right now i have it switch between genders in the menu, so when you click on the submenu it changes the gender bool from 0 to 1, but as you know if you click back on the menu it defaults back, so i want to know if theres a way i can do it in the animator layers so i dont have to do it in the main menu!

[ornate stump]

You shouldn't have put parameter to the submenu control to begin with.

[clever python]

im open to any ideas to make it work! what should i have done instead?

[ornate stump]

Just use put the parameter on regular toggle control instead.

[clever python]

ah yes but i have clothes that only the male can wear and only the female can wear, but also clothes that both genders could wear with the help of blendshapes. so when i click on the male toggle, i want the shirt for the female to turn off too seemlessly...

[ornate stump]

How did you made all the toggle?

[clever python]

right now i have 2 ints for all the tops and bottoms , gender is a bool , menu click into submenu for either male/female, the clothing available for male/ female available in each submenu

[slender loom]

good morning folks, I hope the day is treating you well:scout_spin: But sorry for the random question, but has anyone's avatars gestures been acting up lately? Cause out of nowhere my hands keep locking up after i use an item on my avatar? 1: is before 2: is with item in hand. 3: is after when the hand is now locked up and won't do regular gestures.

[ornate stump]

Did you made toggle in FX layer manually?

[clever python]

yeap

[ornate stump]

Then you would have to put the gender parameter into each cloth transition along with the cloth pararameter itself to make it check for gender before enable/disable the cloth.

[clever python]

okay that sounds logical, but it wont over lap and break becuase its 2 ints powering them right >.<

ill try do it tho im running outta ideas haha

[ornate stump]

Do you know you can add 2 and more conditions in a transition? All condition as to be true to make transition run.

[clever python]

mhm i do but i get confused cause sometimes it breaks and then i dont know where to check for mistakes ill do the conditions thing for now tysm!!

isit okay if i ping you if i have more questions about the same problem?

[ornate stump]

What you're doing is quiet complex so you will have to carefully plan your system.

[ornate stump]

No. Other people can answer you as well.

[clever python]

no problem i appreciate your help!! :))

[signal meteor]

Hi! Add module does not appear in unity hub, does anyone know why?

[ornate stump]

That's because of unity is installed by standalone installer. Add module is only available when unity is install with hub link.

[signal meteor]

does anyone have the hub link to 2022.3.22

[fresh rose]

So like

When im tryna fix the fact that my shoulders arent a child of the chest

It stops the avi from being t-posed

But when i press enforce t-pose

Is resets all the bone placementa

[austere bay]

are you changing the parent in unity or blender? because there shouldn't be any issues if you're just doing it in blender

[fresh rose]

Unity

[austere bay]

then I'd just fix it in blender

[sour sparrow]

is it possible to make it so when I make a punching motion, and effect on my avatar plays? and if so, how

[ornate stump]

https://unity.com/releases/editor/archive

[fresh rose]

K

Also @somber sequoia when you said this

What did you mean by transition condition?

[austere bay]

you've got an fbx that doesn't have a working armature, fixing that would save you so much time and effort

[fresh rose]

How do i fix that...?

[somber sequoia]

in the animation controller, the lines that go between states are transitions, and the conditions are how the animator decides if to use a given transition.

i.e. "if $var is true, go to that next state"

[austere bay]

I'll record a little video explaining so i can show you, gimme 2 minutes :)

[fresh rose]

Uh..theres no animator on this

Its just a particle

[somber sequoia]

I don't remember what this was about, sorry

[ornate stump]

It depends on what kind of effect you're going to make, so what is the effect?

[fresh rose]

Im tryna make it so i can toggle wether or not a particle will appear when i do a gesture cus rn it activates if i do the gesture no matter what

[somber sequoia]

if you have a "toggle" then probably you have something in the animator to turn it on or off

find that and change the conditions to be whatever you want them to be

[fresh rose]

Again i dont have a animator

[somber sequoia]

then you don't have a toggle

[fresh rose]

Thats my point..m

[somber sequoia]

oh. So make one.

[fresh rose]

Ok i did

[austere bay]

if theres any issues after just reset pose then enforce t-pose it in the configuration in unity

[fresh rose]

Now what?

[somber sequoia]

I can't walk you through this, I'd suggest a basic tutorial on making toggles

[fresh rose]

K thx ill do thst later

[fresh rose]

Ik how to make toggles dude -_-

I have plenty on my avi already

[somber sequoia]

I was really just answering that one question

[frigid wren]

hi sorry to bother , how do i fix this , i already checked the normals and it seems to be okay

[fresh rose]

I cant find any tutorials for what im tryna do

[somber sequoia]

explain what "this" is

[austere bay]

i did the video kinda quickly, if you need a longer, more indepth tutorial just lmk :)

[fresh rose]

Think on how like

A avi with a gun works

The particles wont appear unless you have the gun toggled

How do i do dat

[frigid wren]

wait wait gurl is it your voice

love your voice and yeah im gonna check

[austere bay]

ty :)

[sour sparrow]

a particle effect

[frigid wren]

i dont have the same thing TuT

[ornate stump]

Have you succeed on making the avatar play the punch animation?

[sour sparrow]

I havent yet, but I wanna make it so when I punch in vr it does it, although I was planning in making that avatar soon I wanted to be sure if it would work

I wanna make it so that when I make a punching motion in vr it plays a particle effect, not an animation that punches

if that makes sense

wait I have an idea

[ornate stump]

Detecting motion is quiet complicated. You could simply detecting contact hit instead and toggle the effect based on contact parameter.

[sour sparrow]

i might come back to this later but I saw a video that I could make it so I can grab a prop, I think if I make that sorta system then I can get the effect I want

[somber sequoia]

There's a prefab that lets your avatar ragdoll when it gets punched, it uses contact receivers with a required velocity to achieve this.

[somber sequoia]

wow pink

[sour sparrow]

I gotcha, I think ive got another idea tho, ty tho!

[austere bay]

https://extensions.blender.org/themes/pastel-pink-theme/
this is the blender theme i use incase anyone else wants to be blinded by pink :)

[pallid sun]

I made visemes for mmd but for some reason they don't work. yes, the names are written in japanese, there are no custom animation layers on the avatar so there's nothing that could be overwriting the visemes, there are no error warnings on unity. plz help

i also managed to make them work on another avatar but for some reason now they don't work anymore??

[tame surge]

So I'm having some shader issues on the Quest version of this model I made
I had to separate the arms from the body and reattach them to the shirt mesh so that they wouldnt clip through the coat
But now the part of the arms that are attached to the shirt aren't showing the mobile toon shader
Even though the shirt seems to be working just fine?
How do I fix this up?

[cyan light]

Anyone know why this is happening?

[ornate stump]

As Armature itself doesn't have any mesh on and tool is set to center point of object, so it's following something that's moving.

[cyan light]

ah, thanks i think i know what's happening then

[cobalt zephyr]

why are my clothes all off?
i cannot turn them on and i have em on by deafult

am using vrcfury

[somber meadow]

You need to use Gesture Manager to debug/preview an avatar within Unity

[cobalt zephyr]

how?

[somber meadow]

Tools > Gesture Manager Emulator at the top within the unity toolbar

Then click the object it makes and click “enter play mode”

[cobalt zephyr]

gotcha

thx

also need some help fixing gogoloco

[somber meadow]

Seems like you didn’t drag it into the avatar’s root object

[cobalt zephyr]

it is in the avatar root tho

[somber meadow]

Give a screenshot outside of play mode

[somber meadow]

That should work now with that position, earlier in your first screenshot it wasn’t

[cobalt zephyr]

having issues setting up the menu

[somber meadow]

Do you want to move it somewhere else?

[cobalt zephyr]

nope

but im not getting the gogoloco menu

[somber meadow]

Go back into play mode and show the expression menu in gesture manager

[cobalt zephyr]

this is new

[somber meadow]

You shouldn’t use anything from the temp folder

Did you edit it to do so?

[cobalt zephyr]

i think so idk

[somber meadow]

You can easily fix it by importing the gogoloco package again, it’ll find any file different and replace them back to the original

[still jasper]

It's not for creating new objects, I need to create an animation for my visemes.
Main menu under create? What do I have to do to get to that-? I sorta need a specific guide.

Found it nvm tysm

It was in assets

[somber sequoia]

yeah, I just create my animation files first.

ah yes, I didn't have Unity open at the time, was working from vague memory.

[cobalt zephyr]

truly terrefying what blendshapes can do

went from cute snuggly novabeast

to imma haunt ur nightmares novabeast

this is the reason u keep ur feet covered at night XD

[sacred wing]

I dont even gotta explain it fr

Its not supposed to be that blocky

[brazen hamlet]

anyone know why I'm getting these compilation errors? I'm just starting out with avatar creation and just installed plugins from a tutorial's recommendations

[somber meadow]

You don’t need every package imported. Remove av3 emulator, gesture manager handles the same purpose and is more lightweight

[brazen hamlet]

ohhh, thank you

[somber sequoia]

I have both installed and they're fine - AV3 emulator with GM is nicer imo.

I'm curious why sometimes those things aren't compatible though.

[somber meadow]

You need their actual packages or creator’s repos imported if you want both

[somber sequoia]

yep, definitely

[somber meadow]

Curated versions still aren’t up to date

[somber sequoia]

er, that's what I'm using at the moment.

[wind widget]

might be a dumb question but if im adding an outfit that is specifically designed for the character and the character already has togglable outfits will i have to create toggles for the outfit im adding or will it just automatically have toggles set up?

[stark meadow]

does anyone know how i can fix this weird transparency issue?

[somber sequoia]

what's weird about it?

[jade locust]

hello guys, I have user status and tried to load my 3rd private avatar. Did i got this error cause of my trust status?

[stark meadow]

the weird clipping on these lines

[somber sequoia]

do you mean the jaggedy edges?

[stark meadow]

yes

[somber sequoia]

probably those are because the edge doesn't line up with a texel boundary in the UV map. In many cases you won't be looking so closely in the game that you'll see that

there will always be some level of this unless your texture resolution is prohibitively high.

[stark meadow]

the uvs seem to line up, and the line change places seemingly

[fringe belfry]

uh so i made a big mistake accidentally, so is there a way to enter an old automatic save on VCC (not backup) cuz i kinda lost all the progress on the avatar i made cuz i re-imported the base accidentally and when i tried to exit without saving it still auto saved after my mistake

[indigo compass]

VCC doesn't have automatic saves.
Unity also doesn't auto save to my knowledge, however importing packages replaces files in a folder on your computer, whatever was replaced is just gone.

[fringe belfry]

great

TwT

[indigo compass]

The asset window is just a folder on your computer, you cannot undo from it because whatever you do, delete, rename or whatever is permanent, it is just windows file manager.

[fringe belfry]

cant i pull the avatar out of vrc?

[indigo compass]

No

[fringe belfry]

cuz it was already uploaded

GREAT

TWT

time to restart

TwT

[wind widget]

anyone know why im getting this message im not missing anything from the package i uploaded

[indigo compass]

Even back when it was possible you only got the exact things uploaded, in their compiled state.
So if you work with VRCFury it would be annoying to get back to a original state.

[somber sequoia]

it's saying you are - maybe a missing face tracking prefab or the base VRCFT package?

[wind widget]

im not sure how tho cause i uploaded a complete unity package for the avatar and it still gives me the same message when i add an enirely new facetracking package

like where would i find those

[somber sequoia]

I'm assuming you need this: https://github.com/Adjerry91/VRCFaceTracking-Templates

[wind widget]

how do i add it there isnt any unity package for me to drop in

[somber sequoia]

read "Quick Setup Guide" on that page

[cobalt zephyr]

any way to have my asset start on when using vrc fury? or do i have to just do it when its already uploaded?

since the parameters only get created when i upload

but i asume they might be saved somewhere before hand

[somber meadow]

What’re you trying to do? VRCFury is made to be non-destructive which is what you’re describing

[wind widget]

that fixed it thanks

[somber sequoia]

excellent

[cobalt zephyr]

whenever my avi spawns in it dosent have clothes unless i turn them on, they will remember afterwards tho, was wondering if there was a way to make them be on by deafult, even after avatar resets

[somber meadow]

Are your toggles made through VRCFury

[fresh rose]

rq just doin this rn,i cant select more than one bone at a time

[somber sequoia]

you don't need to select bones for this suggestion, it's in the rig setup window

[fresh rose]

they told me to select 3 at a time tho?

[somber sequoia]

not sure why, the "enforce t-pose" option is not based on selecting bones

[fresh rose]

i, im blender rn

[somber sequoia]

oh - that suggestion is about unity

in Blender go into pose mode, select all bones and in the menu under pose there should be a reset transforms

(I forget the wording, I don't have blender open)

[cobalt zephyr]

so vrc fury fails to properly equip on of my clothes

this is the only error i could find

and i dont know how to fix that

or why all the bones to the spine dont work

this is what i end up with

[maiden yoke]

does anyone know any tips to make the download smaller, i have only a few things on the avatar so im just confused on how this happened, but yea nay tips would be nice

[somber sequoia]

use fewer textures or smaller textures. Which could mean have fewer assets included.

[still jasper]

Am I doing something wrong?? In every tutorial I follow, their models look like this when they put their animations on the model. Mine doesn't. When I drag it, if anything, it has a 🚫 symbol on my mouse.
Example from the video vs mine

I'm not sure what to do, I've tried looking it up

[latent stump]

whenever i try to upload my new avatar to vrchat it says avatar verification fail does anyone know how to fix it

[arctic ginkgo]

I'm not sure what you mean. What are you dragging and where?

[still jasper]

The animation triangle. That's what the video is telling me to do to apply an animation so I can animate 2d visemes.

That's what the video is telling me to do.

[arctic ginkgo]

apply an animation?

If you're trying to create an animation clip for a viseme, just open the animation window and click the create new clip button. If there isn't already an animation controller in your animator (which there is, I can see it in the screenshot) then it will prompt you to make one first. If you already have animation clips in your controller, the "new clip" button won't appear, and instead you need to select the dropdown menu (it should say the name of the currently selected clip) and select "new clip" at the bottom of the list

to access the animation window, go to Window>Animation>Animation

to actually create the animtion in the clip, press the record buttom (red circle) in the Animation window, then do whatever action you want to happen on that keyframe (like changing a blendshape value), then press the record button again to stop recording.

this will add the property (if it's not already there) and set its value at the keyframe your playhead is currently on (by default, 0)

[still jasper]

I was just confused if I was doing something wrong since what the person in the video did looks different from what I did. They dragged the animation asset triangle onto the model, and this sort of wireframe thing showed up on theirs.
I'll check out what you said in a sec, I'm still in school lol. Give me a moment rq

[somber sequoia]

I didn't realize one could drag animation files onto a model

[arctic ginkgo]

honestly I didn't know either

[somber sequoia]

maybe one can't, and they're doing something else that just looks like this

[arctic ginkgo]

I found it in the video

what they're doing is dragging the animation clip onto the gameobject with the animator

they might be trying to drag it onto the mesh through the scene window rather than the hierarchy?

[somber sequoia]

oh that's interesting, I didn't realize that works

[arctic ginkgo]

or maybe didn't have a controller in their animator at the time

[somber sequoia]

yeah I imagine without one it'd fail

[cyan light]

Does anyone know why this part is staying white? I've literally changed it to black in the texture.

If i move the texture over, it shows as being black. but once it's in place it turns white

[stray ice]

Anyone know what this means? I'm very stupid and this is preventing me from uploading

[somber sequoia]

are there any more errors above?

[stray ice]

no

[somber sequoia]

then look in the build console window for blocking errors

[stray ice]

wait\

[somber sequoia]

"spine hierarchy missing elements" is a blocker

[stray ice]

ohhhh

shi

lemmie go fix that thanks!

[still jasper]

How do I change the blendshape value in the animator?

[stray ice]

so uh im trying to add it

[still jasper]

Whatever they're doing in the video is confusing

[stray ice]

how do I do that again? (Yet again, sorry for being an idiot this is my first real non-png avatar)

[night ember]

you make an animation

[still jasper]

Uhhhh.

[arctic ginkgo]

the same way you change the blendshape value normally

you just press the record button, do what you want the animation to do, then press the record button again

for example, say I wanted to make a character where my avatar has a tail and that tail goes to an up position. I would press the record button, find the tail, rotate it up, then press the record button again.

[still jasper]

How do I change the blendshape value normally?? I don't know how to do that normally, I've never done it before at all

[arctic ginkgo]

are you using blendshapes for your visemes?

[still jasper]

Yes, all of my visemes have blendshaped

blendshapes*

[arctic ginkgo]

okay, then select your mesh, and in the inspector there's a dropdown called "blendshapes". Click on that, then each blendshape will appear as a slider between 0-100. You can manually type in a value, or slide the slider yourself.

[wind widget]

im assuming this means i have too much stuff on the avi is there a way i can get more space or do i just gotta delete some stuff

[arctic ginkgo]

delete or optimize. It's your synced parameters that you have run out of space for

it's not just "stuff"

synced parameters are specifically the variables that are sent over the network to sync things

for example, if you have a hat you can toggle on and off, the synced parameter will send a true or false value over the network to other players so that they can see the toggle working

there are different kinds of parameters: bool, int, and float. bool takes up 1 bit (as it is just a single binary digit, or true/false) while the latter two take up 8, since they carry more information (floats are used for decimal and negative numbers, while ints are used for whole numbers and go up to 255). Sometimes you need multiple numbers in a parameter, but not the full 255 that ints give. Similarly, sometimes you don't need or can sacrifice the precision of floats, and by creating logic to convert multiple binary values back into an int or float, you can use booleans to sync them without using as many bits.

you can also sync them periodically, by having multiple local parameters share a single synced parameter to sync the data.

a good way to think of this is like a highway. In this example, you'd have 256 lanes, but that's a lot for a highway lol so for this example imagine you have 4 lanes. If you only have 4 cars, they can all go in their own lane and get to their destination at the same time. But if you have more than 4 lanes, you'll need to have some cars go behind others

you also have some kinds of cars that take up multiple lanes at once (this is where the analogy breaks down a little lol). If you have 2 cars that use 1 lane and 1 car that uses 3 lanes, they can't all fit. But maybe your 3 lane car only has two passengers, then you can use 2 separate cars and have them reconnect after they get off the highway.

basically though, right now you have 256 "lanes" and 291 "cars". You can remove some of these "cars", or if some of them take up multiple "lanes" and aren't "full" (eg: using an int with a max of 255 but only needing 3 values) you can have them take multiple "cars"

VRCFury has a tool that can do this for you called "parameter compressor"

well

afaik it does both optimizations

both having some "cars" travel behind (so switching what data is synced between multiple parameters) and splitting ints and floats into only the necessary bools needed to sync that data.

[still jasper]

I've selected the whole mesh, specific parts, and the mouth itself just to see if I was selecting the wrong thing.. and it doesn't show up.
I know I have blendshapes, it was the last thing I did before I exported the file. It lets me mess with them in blender too, so they're definitely there.
I wonder if I'm just blind. Let me grab a screenshot

[wind widget]

yeah its already compressed so i gotta delete

ill prolly just make a sepparate build for the stuff i couldnt put in this one

[arctic ginkgo]

no, it's possible they aren't there

make sure in blender that you apply ALL modifiers EXCEPT for the "armature" modifier

if you don't do that then your blendshapes won't export

[still jasper]

Ohhh.. apply them.

Sorry, thank you.

Will it update the model if I just save the file to the same file-? Or do I have to redo everything?

[arctic ginkgo]

yes, it will update

[still jasper]

So I just go to my modifiers tab and make sure they're all applied except any armature ones?

[arctic ginkgo]

yes

[still jasper]

It looks like I only have geometry node modifiers on the ones with shapekeys that won't let me apply to. I might just delete them, I don't think I need them

Okay, I exported it. Do I have to restart it for ut to update-?

[arctic ginkgo]

no

if it's not updating, I found that switching to another application and the switching back will cause it to load

[wind widget]

face piercings i added dont stay in place and move separately when in game am i attached to the right bone?

[still jasper]

It doesn't seem to look like I have blendshapes still. I deleted all of the unnecessary modifiers- I triple checked

[arctic ginkgo]

root bone is used as the center for the mesh bounds, not as the parent

just parent it to the correct bone

if you want it to be on the head, drag it onto the head

the head bone i mean

[arctic ginkgo]

did you export to the file inside your unity project?

[still jasper]

Yes. I name them all something different so I don't get confused, and I exported it to the same original FBX file of the one I'm currently using

[arctic ginkgo]

"original FBX" as in?

[wind widget]

where to i find the parent thing they are in the right place on the head in unity they just dont stay locked in place with it and move separately in game

[arctic ginkgo]

where is it stored?

[arctic ginkgo]

they just need to be under the head in the hierarchy

[cyan light]

Does anyone know why this part is staying white? I've literally changed it to black in the texture. If i move the texture over, it shows as being black. but once it's in place it turns white

[still jasper]

Uhh. It's not in a folder if that's what you're asking. Let me see if I can screenshot what I did

[arctic ginkgo]

??

how is it "not in a folder"?

it's

on your computer, correct?

what is the filepath/directory that it is in?

[wind widget]

im not seeing specifically head up there is it in armature section or avatar section

[arctic ginkgo]

armature

you need to go through the hierarchy

it should be:

• Armature
• Hips
• Spine
• Chest
• Neck
• Head

[wind widget]

this is all there is under the armature section so i just put it under like that?

[still jasper]

The 5th fixed one is the one currently used in Unity

One sec

[arctic ginkgo]

oh it looks like that's meant to be used with like armature link or something

I'm not very familiar with VRCFury

[still jasper]

Sorry, I didn't screenshot the right parts the first time. I just selected it and clicked export

"humanized tacoiifixed5.fbx" is the one I've been using in Unity

[arctic ginkgo]

okay, so that's your download folder

[still jasper]

Yes yes, sorry for the confusion

[arctic ginkgo]

you need to export to the unity project folder

[still jasper]

Ohh.

[arctic ginkgo]

in that folder, find your assets folder

[still jasper]

The XR?

[arctic ginkgo]

then wherevre you imported the fbx, that's where you export it to

with the same name

[arctic ginkgo]

no, assets

[still jasper]

Thank you!! I did it. It took off a texture from an earring fr some reason when I did, but I just reapplied it. The blendshapes show up now :)

So I just hit record on the animator, put the blendshapes how I want, and then stop recording? And I do that with all of them individually?

[wind widget]

yup that was exactly it got it solved

thanks

[cyan light]

Does anyone know why this part is staying white? I've literally changed it to black in the texture. If i move the texture over, it shows as being black. but once it's in place it turns white

[still jasper]

How were your textures made?

[cyan light]

Idk, this was a premade I'm kitbashing

[still jasper]

Like, to me it sounds like an issue with the texture and you'd need to remap it. Either that or you didn't upload the updated version correctly. Or you have a double texture asset

Idk much about Unity so that's all I can think of

Since the eye is white though and not the default grey, I can only think of a double texture or you didn't import your new texture right

If it's white, it has a texture

[cyan light]

how would i do that?

[still jasper]

Can I see your assets?

[cyan light]

Like the hierarchy? the Assets folder directly? Or the Material that governs the textures?

[still jasper]

Both assets and materials

Even if there is a double texture though, I feel like it'd still be able to go over so I'm not sure

[cyan light]

assets and material

[still jasper]

If it was made in Blender, it could be the way the textures were mapped.

[still jasper]

Which one is the one for the eye?

Or all of them the eye

[cyan light]

the eye does not govern it. the texture i showed you effects it

the eye is currently at 100% alpha cutoff

[still jasper]

Gotcha

[cyan light]

all of those images except for the very first one are the exact same shader, just all of it's stuff that has been enabled

[still jasper]

I'm not sure. Sometimes people post about it on Unity forums, there might be an answer there

[karmic jay]

Anyone availiable to help someone who's learning to put assets together to make an avatar?

Looking for help on uploading an avatar

If anyone can help PLEASE

[arctic ginkgo]

it's better if you explain exactly what your issue is

people don't usually respond unless you explain the problem, since they won't know if they can help

[stoic robin]

Sorry, I’m just having issues uploading the avatar. It’s my first time trying to figure this out. It’s failing to build the avatar in unity.

I can get more screenshots here soon

The vrchat sdk won’t even load up the info anymore so lost

[somber meadow]

does the avatar have a descriptor in the inspector when you click it in the hierarchy?

[regal sail]

How do I get this to work on vrchat, my mouth won't move or talk with me on vrchat. It only stays open

Its just a mouth sprite sheet

[fallen wave]

does vrchat toon standard outline work on quest/ios?

[ornate stump]

Yes but the outline doesn't show up in mobile platform.

[fallen wave]

im really only using it for the backface culling disablement

i dont use the outline

unless that is the outline ig

😆

[ornate stump]

Do you mean using outline to show backface?

[ebon flame]

Anyone available to help my dumb self get an avatar uploaded with addtional assets? I know the very basics of avatar uploading, but am completely bottom tier rookie in anything else.

[mint sphinx]

i have a qick question, im uploeading some avis i made, and they work find on PC, but when i upload them for android they stop working and vrc wont let me load into them anymore. how can i fix this?

[mint sphinx]

id be happy to help, what is it your wannting to add to your avi?

[ebon flame]

Mostly a collection of particle effects and props

[mint sphinx]

props are pretty Ez to add, idk about particle Fxs fully

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqtSg6_W07Y

heres a fix to add props

and how to add toggles for them!

[fallen wave]

yes

but i doubt it works if outline doesnt show

since outline like flips the mesh or whatever iirc

ill just go do it in blender 😢

[gilded turret]

Westerns are funny.

shrug

[sour sparrow]

why is it that when I try to make a particle thats supposed to be a straight line in front of my fist, it crosses instead,

[viral valley]

hey y'all. so I've got an issue with particle systems on my avatar that I can't find any info about on google.

basically my avatar has a magic want, and an animation set up to shoot particles from the end. everything looks fine in unity, but in vrc, the particles always fire in a specific direction relative to the world. this happens with both world-type and local-type simulation space systems. I am completely at a loss and need someone with more knowledge about particle behavior to help me

[austere bay]

Hello, I uploaded an avatar, but I can only use it on the computer. I can't use it with my VR headset either. How do I set this up?

[sour sparrow]

hey, if you find the answer and I cant see it, could you tell me pls? im having the same problem...

[viral valley]

will do!

[proper storm]

what plugin merges animators?

is it 3.0?

[somber meadow]

VRCFury can do it non-destructively through full-controllers, Avatar 3.0 manager can do it destructively

[proper storm]

forgot fury could do it, damn

thanks though

[arctic ginkgo]

? it does work. You can just use Toon Standard though if you're not planning on using the outline feature

Toon Standard is literally made for Quest/iOS. The ONLY feature that doesn't work on those platforms is the outline feature

which is made clear in the creator documentation afaik

[fallen wave]

I meant for achieving no backface culling

i was using outline one as a workaround since it reverses the mesh inside out to make the outline and it worked

but since outlines dont show on quest i doubt it will work for my purpose

aka just fix in blender is my option

[proper storm]

is it schizo to put all of your clothing toggles in one layer using the INT param?

or just make separate layer for each clothes

[unreal crow]

not sure if this is the place to ask but my creator companion started doing this today, i have no idea why and i restarted the app and my pc and its still doing this,,

[placid mural]

the blendshape on my avatar disappears whenever i use the gestrure manager in unity, does anyone know why?

[high rapids]

What's the best way to go about finding hair and clothes that's already set to be compatible with this avatar base?
https://booth.pm/en/items/6813995

[indigo compass]

A blendshape dissappearing sounds like you are using VRCFury's blendshape optimizer or D4rk's avatar optimizer, both strip out blendshapes that aren't being animated, since there is no need to animate them, no way to adjust blendshapes outside of animations when in game.

[placid mural]

is the vrcfury blendshape optimizer automatically turned on cuz i dont remember toggling that?

[indigo compass]

It is a component you have to add

[placid mural]

oh i didnt which is weird

[indigo compass]

Could be something else baking the blendshapes, but those two are the ones I am aware of.

[high rapids]

Does anyone know if this add-on can be applied to an avatar for use in warudo for vTubing?
https://booth.pm/en/items/6980867

[placid mural]

i see i see, is there a way to check whats messing with the blendshapes

[indigo compass]

Hair is generally quite easy to add to any avatar, just need to scale it so it fits the head generally and slap a VRCFury armature link with the target being the head.
Clothing has to be made for that specific base, the best way to find what clothing is compatible is to just search for the same of the base or use https://boothplorer.com/ which probably catches most items made for a base, but probably not all.

[indigo compass]

It has UE blendshapes so I would say no.
Can convert from UE, since it is just a better format, to Apple ARKit, which I think is what they use, but that is a manual process.

[high rapids]

I guess there's nothing stoping you from just VTubing using VRChat in a single player room?

[indigo compass]

Technically not, but it is clunky.

[high rapids]

Does the tool require you to be wearing VR? or does it work via a camera?

[still jasper]

I can tomorrow probably, I'll look at my schedule. Blender, right?

[indigo compass]

If you aren't going to be wearing a vr headset then try getting warudo to work as you will just be making a bigger problem for yourself getting vrchat to fit.
On a simple level you just have to rename the blendshapes to the names ARKit wants, some might work differently, but it will probably look good enough.
https://docs.vrcft.io/docs/tutorial-avatars/tutorial-avatars-extras/compatibility/arkit
This table makes the translation trivial, just need to translate the left, what you have, to the right.

[stoic patio]

Ok bet

[indigo compass]

I am not aware of any tool for unity to change the name for a blendshape, but it is trivial to do in Blender if you've used it before.

[timid drift]

Is anyone having trouble with avatar loading and culling all the sudden?

[gilded turret]

Ya'll are still harassing me? Not entitled at all. I asked for help, and claimed its not rude to ping someone. Ya'll are just crybabies.

I forgot how sad the terminally online are and how easily they're offended by something as simple as a ping when asking for help.

Yeesh.

Entitlement and asking for help, don't go hand in hand here. I asked, I didn't get a response, I didn't demand Ren help me in anyway. I requested that he help me. Ya'll are delusional, and mentally 9 year olds.

[ornate stump]

If you pinged me that means you are willing to interrupt me from doing my own business just to solve your own issue. And that's what I find rude.

And of course this would apply to everyone else and not just me. Interrupting others is just rude.

[proper depot]

Does anyone know how to make contacts? Im trying over and over and I cannot figure it out for the life of me : ( I really dont understand, does every sender need a receiver?? and what about the cases where you want to have the sender, like a high five, and dont have anywhere to put the receiver?? Then im rewatching these videos over and over and I cannot figure where I am goin wrong im so confused 😮‍💨

[ornate stump]

What important is the receiver. The receiver just need tag to set and the tag could be anything. And if you see tag named as body part in the selection menu, that means those body parts had sender attached by default.

[proper depot]

I have both the receiver and sender with the head and hand as the things and they wont interact :(( even with the radius and stuff being in the correct spot idk what im doing wrong

ty for the help

gon go cry brb

/jk

[ornate stump]

If you want to target head or hand then you don't need to add sender, because as I said before, head and hand have sender attached by default.

[left gull]

if you're trying to find someone to do the work for you go to VRCTraders (link in #1204490664637890580 ) its very likely you'll get bots/scammers in your DMs with a message like that here

[long grotto]

Hey —
Im trying to make a hand puppet avatar. A model attached to the hand of a model with no mesh. But in game, its studdering alot. I dont want the bottom of the model to move away from the ground, but i want to be able to move the upper body with the hand. How do i achieve this? Any help would be amazing.

[molten elm]

can anyone help im kinda stuck, im trying to get the materials to unity from this blender file of the materials baked into the model.

Things i've tried.

Tried Baking them all into an atlas but it just ends up creating a hot mess like so

i've tried exporting with the mode as copy and the materials embedded, still didnt work.

[long grotto]

What you can do, is go to this image icon in texture paint, and save each texture by i believe pressing image - save as. Its annoying if you have alot of textures, but it works

[molten elm]

thanks i was like theres gotta be a spot to save them seperately

[long grotto]

Dude i get it, had me pissed till i found out you can save them.. good luck lol

[molten elm]

ok its working just cant get the hair to show up right or eyes

[long grotto]

You may have to manually add the textures yourself, if there isnt any, it probably runs off nodes — which in itself are a pain to export

[molten elm]

yeah i think its a node, cause i do see it in the material list but not the texture list

[digital river]

anyone know how to make a radial puppet toggle to alter tail wag speed?

[balmy barn]

animate animation multiplier speed 0 = stop

only had a dance exsample so here is the tail (fx) multiplier

[molten elm]

i cannot get this hair to show right

[balmy barn]

change material to cutout - not a quest thing

[still shuttle]

Making an interaction where when you pull, the onesie opens, but for some reason it only works when you pull up, Im trying to get it to do the opposite, pull down and the onesie opens. Cant figure it out, and I used this tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn2H1GwzPkI&t=320s

I am using a physbone (with an animation of the onesie opening) to do this. I attached pictures of the physbone settings and the FX logic, and a video of it in action.

[balmy barn]

try immobile 1 and 0 pull/spring it will stay where you leave it ,otherwise no idea why it only work one way

[timber anvil]

can someone help me with a small texture edit i can pay nitro either basic or regular

[lilac orbit]

you explain it here we we can try to help you

[timber anvil]

i dont know what to use to do texturing

[lilac orbit]

you can watch a few tutorial videos on it

[timber anvil]

alrighty

[lilac orbit]

and after you start working on it an stuck somewhere we can guide you

[still shuttle]

that def helped it stay where I put it but for some reason it still only works when I pull up

[hybrid basin]

I added nails to this avatar, but need to make the base's original nails transparent. I applied the alpha mask and turned the shader to TransClipping, but nothing happened. I'm at a loss

[still shuttle]

If the nails are their own mesh, I usually just shrink them down into the finger tip in blender using a shape key

[hybrid basin]

They're meant to be added via Modular Avatar in Unity, and come with the alpha mask to make the nails under invisible, it's just not working

[still shuttle]

try adjusting the alpha cutoff

[hybrid basin]

I tried that, but it just makes the entire body transparent

[still shuttle]

thats odd, it sounds like it could be an issue with the alpha map but honestly I'd just go into blender and give the nails their own material atp

[hybrid basin]

Omg, wait, I got it. I needed to switch the alpha map blendmode from "off" to "replace" mb

[still shuttle]

figured it out, I just flipped the physbone upside down and now it works haha

Do you have an issue that you need help with?

Okay. This channel is a channel for help with avatars, if you are looking to just chat about avatars in general try #avatar-general
But I should note this server is not for promoting your own creations or trying to get people to comission you so plz refrain from doing so

[whole sigil]

is there any variable tracked that can track if an avatar has been loaded with backup shaders?

[somber sequoia]

if it's not here, nope: https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/animator-parameters/#built-in-parameters

[white sundial]

how do i avoid this effect with transparency models?

i already have backface culling

[junior void]

This effect?

[somber sequoia]

is the hand intended to be transparent?

[white sundial]

yeah

[somber sequoia]

that seems correct then?

[white sundial]

basically i'm inspiring myself in this slime model to make a ghost version of my avi

but i'm trying to achieve this effect

this is the intended result

see how the fingers don't have that effect?

with the transparency

[balmy barn]

The inner parts have higher rendering queue, so no need for a transparency

[white sundial]

it's not about the inner parts, i'm talking about the fingers

ive hidden the bones to make it easier to see, see how they don't blend together

[white sundial]

compared to this one

[junior void]

I dont get it

[lilac orbit]

I think she need the transparent effect on the outside but visible effect in the inside

[junior void]

That just made no sense to me either

[green raptor]

If I don't want my avatar to be affected by the world illumination, what do I need to in unity for that? (using poiyomi)

[somber sequoia]

use one of the shading modes that takes into account the environment, such as Realistic:
https://www.poiyomi.com/shading/main

[green raptor]

thanks, but I just want my avatar to keep the same illumination in any world.

[somber sequoia]

oh! I missed the word "don't"

sorry about that - do the opposite then 🙂

[green raptor]

so anything but realistic?

[somber sequoia]

Honestly I only use realistic, but the documentation should detail this, and if not, the Poiyomi discord is a great resource

[green raptor]

thank you

[somber sequoia]

(my guess is indeed "flat" though)

[karmic jay]

having issues with my textures and colors in blender, I put the assets together but now my model is pink and the textures won't stick

I keep hitting this same wall

[white sundial]

go to the shading tab and on the side bar check the materials list

it may not be applied to the mesh

this pink color is when there's textures or materials missing

[karmic jay]

Materials list. I'll keep an eye out, trying to teach myself all this has been quite a pain

[prime agate]

I have an accessory on my avatar's face that can be pulled off but it gets in the way of my viewpoint because I put a headchop component on it. If I don't have headchop, it is totally invisible to me in viewpoint/when pulled away but I can still see it in mirrors/cameras. Is there like a middle ground where it wont be in my viewpoint but I can also see it when it's pulled away at a certain distance?

[hot ingot]

So im trying to get a layer to work in the animator, I want a animation to play when I mute myself. However when this is applied, the states go back and forth in a infinite loop as if its not respecting the status of the MuteSelf parameter. Any ideas?

also the layer weight is 1 and is set to override

[valid wigeon]

hey arent you activley talking to a 11 year old romantically?

[hybrid basin]

woah

[vital sinew]

Literally arent you tho

[hot ingot]

huh? I just want avatar help not a call out

[timber wharf]

@prime agate use empty object for headchop, use scale constraint tied to it on your prefab. now you can animate weight and thus scale of prefab

or just use headbone as scale source, no need for headchop

[prime agate]

I already had it on an empty object but I'll try using a scale constraint instead

Appreciate the advice, hope it works!

[timber wharf]

well make sure your prefab is outside of empty's hierarchy

[prime agate]

It's like Avatar Root > Accessory > Headchop nested into each other

I guess I could have just said the headchop empty is inside the accessory prefab

[timber wharf]

wonder how it even works then

[prime agate]

That's how I bought it from Booth

It has uhhh I think a bone in the armature of the accessory

That then gets put into my head bone on build

Yeah, it has a RootBone empty with a physbone in the head armature

I think the physbone is unrelated to it but yeah

The headchop actually has a scale factor on it, can I not edit that maybe? Sounds pretty similar to scale constraint to me

[cold hedge]

[sand goblet]

Running into this weird issue where one of my blend shapes isn't working in game when I toggled it on.
It is in the animation clip, the blendshape does work on it's own in the editor, the parameters and fx layer are set up properly.
I've been trying to fix this for half an hour and I can't find anything that could be causing it

Hello I'm running into this issue with importing a avatar I bought I can't seem to import it into VRchat it says to use the VRchat SDK but I can't find it anywhere and I have it downloaded

[left gull]

Did you properly install the SDK into your package via the Creator companion?

[vestal sand]

okay, so.. everytime i configure the avatar it doesn't give the animator and when i print the issue on the console, it shows this, im not sure what it means

[stiff kiln]

I need help. I want to make it so that my drone follows my avatar with a bit of delay (as if it was flying). When I try to move the shoulder constraint, the srping joint seem to work fine in the editor. But when I go in-game, the spring joint does nothing, even when I move my head. The drone stay completly still. What can I do to fix it? (The drone is at a scale of 0 by default, thats why its not currently visible).

Here's how it's set up as well as it working fine in the editor btw.

I've recently added a new piece called the "Jelly Jacket" to my model in Blender — including shape keys, sculpting, reparenting bones, and redoing the weight painting. It works well and I'm happy with the result.

However, when I export the full FBX file with my model, the Jelly Jacket doesn't update properly in the hierarchy inside Unity. It only updates correctly if I export the model’s armature along with it.

I need to integrate this Jelly Jacket mesh with my original model in Unity, keeping the Skinned Mesh Renderer intact so I can retain all the shape keys, RGB setup, and other settings.

The problem is, if I import the Jelly Jacket separately and then exit prefab mode, Unity says the Skinned Mesh Renderer is missing.

I really don’t want to rebuild the whole model from scratch. How can I properly add this Jelly Jacket mesh to my existing model in Unity without losing the rigging.

I may not know what i'm talking about but

as you can see it shows up as the fbx version but im also unable to parent it to the one in the hierarchy since its missing the mesh or something idk
it only works if i export it with my models armature and hook it up with the vrc fury armature link
im so close to being done if i could just have this part working all my problems will be solved

[sand goblet]

Does anyone in this chat get a single answer here??? I see more questions than actual answers and solutions

[slow panther]

sometimes people that know dont see/burnt out or people dont know

• just have to be on at the right time

[somber sequoia]

also nobody here gets paid for helping, so you really rely on someone who knows how to help being available

[somber sequoia]

try asking specific questions

[slow panther]

i maneged to fix this problem by rebuilding the entire thing

didnt know i could just copy the scripts

now i just have to figure out how to edit the animations so i can finally hook this sweater up to rgb

Hey, I’m having an issue with new projects in VCC and Post Processing.

Whenever I create a new VRChat avatar project with VCC + Unity 2022.3.22f1, I immediately get this error:

Library\PackageCache\com.unity.postprocessing@3.4.0\PostProcessing\Runtime\PostProcessLayer.cs(92,16): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'TemporalAntialiasing' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

What I’ve already tried:

1 Confirmed Unity version matches with a friend (no mismatch).

2 Checked manifest.json → VCC removes "com.unity.postprocessing": "3.4.0" automatically after project creation.

3 Deleted Library/PackageCache and let Unity redownload.

4 Force Reimport All.

5 Deleted the whole Library folder (temporarily fixes it, but error comes back).

6 Made a clean clone of the project.

7 Even tested in a brand-new Unity project → same error.

What I think is happening:

VCC is stripping Post Processing by default.

But Fury (or other avatar tools I use) still expect Post Processing, so TemporalAntialiasing is missing.

That’s why my friend’s older project works (created before this change), but all my new projects break.

Question:
Is there a way to keep Post Processing in a VCC avatar project without VCC removing it every time?

Today's Topic: Physbones enabled/disabled.

For Context, I have a bone that when stretched and then posed, it get's disabled (and later reenabled). When the physbone gets disabled, it is in the "IsPosed" animation state. It stays frozen whereever it was stretched and posed to. My question is if there is a way to have the physbone be updated(remotely) while it is disabled (locally)

[ornate stump]

There is "IsLocal" parameter to use for determining the avatar is on local side or not. You could disable physbone this way. But I don't know about its behavior when one side is disabled..

[zenith sparrow]

I was thinking of using that. I want to see if I could have the bone enabled remotely(hopefully it keeps the stretched position) and then disable it later a couple frames. I'm having a friend test this out with me later. I wanted to know if someone has ever had a similar issue. Thank You response though~ Greatly Appreciated

[native salmon]

Is there anyone that's been having issues trying to get parameters to properly sync between people? I don't know if it's unity side or vrchat side but sometimes I'm not seeing what a friend sees (reloading a weapon for example) and they can't see what I see (summoning a magic circle).

[stuck glade]

i got this when uploading a retexture of an awtter?

[stuck glade]

while i redo the model, how come my glasses are bugged? its fine in unity but its not the same in vrchat!

[zenith sparrow]

Do you have any physbones affecting the transforms of the glasses' frames? It could even be wrong weightpainting? Check either

[sudden violet]

it's an overall complex topic, but vrchat doesn't sync everything properly by default.
Some things aren't synced, some are, and some are synced with issues. If you don't want to learn all the details, the best approach is something like what Liindy shared.

You make all the logic with IsLocal True, and sync everything remotely with drivers and IsLocal False

[stuck glade]

im not sure, its a model i bought, its got a ton of blendshapes i can adjust
maybe it has something to do with that?

[zenith sparrow]

Assuming you only imported the model and immediately uploaded it, you should probably contact the creator about this.

[stuck glade]

ya, thats fair, thanks anyways :]

any idea on my issue before that post tho?

[sudden violet]

how are they bugged?

[stuck glade]

check the top of my glasses, its like, odd

[sudden violet]

Oh i see it

i'd guess weight paint

[zenith sparrow]

I've never experienced something like nor knew this could even happen. I can't help with this <\3. I would just reupload and hope for the best personally lol

[stuck glade]

yeh, i had to open a new project cuz some script was mega broken? im assuming thats the issue

[native salmon]

That was done and the only solution I had to show everything to my friend was just reuploading the avatar on my end, swapping off, then swapping back on.

...you think VRChat's gonna try fixing the sync issue?

[sudden violet]

My guess is that something didn't get synced properly, and no, because having animators being loaded 24/7 with constant updates would make people lag like crazy.

at least, that's my understanding of it. I've just learned how to work with it.

[sudden violet]

What i advise, is to use AV3 avatar emulator. It allows you to use a non-local clone to check for syncing, that's how i do it

[native salmon]

Instead of just gesture manager?

[sudden violet]

Gesture manager doesn't have non-local clones as far as i know

[strong zephyr]

Dammit, I need help with baking texture images on objects in blender. There's a bunch of tutorials, but they all assume I have a bunch of nodes in Shader, and I don't, I just have one image.

[sudden violet]

The process is still the same. When you have one image that's being used as the albedo, it will be in your shader tab in linked to "base colour"

[balmy barn]

create new uv before applying these settings , this is for a new image if you want to bake to a current one **dont **clear alpha and just move the uv on the current image you got where you want to bake something to it

If you want alpha however its abit more work, this wont do it

havn't baked alpha in ages sooo this could be different now , emission+mix shader you get a black/white image for alpha

[west storm]

hello, i was wondering if there is a way to get in contact with some who could edit a booth avatar with some assets i plan to get. I dont know much about avatar editing, and hoped someone who knows booth avs could help me make it

[west storm]

thanks!
