You can also up the import count if your pc wont struggle

BUT other things like discord or browser, or anything will be competing for CPU

And limited RAM, high % can make Unity stutter or freeze.

This will definitely speed up importing, but it also depends on your pc specs a lot as well

I hope this helps

[pseudo rover]

thank youu

[bleak vortex]

anyone know why its stuck like this?

[unkempt iris]

hi chat could anyone help me on why this would be happening 🥹 the pants themselve were made with solidify and the outline too but the outline itself is the only thing bugging... i thought it was a normals problem but it look s fine?last is outlines removed

some other outlines in places r having the same problem and i have no idea why

[night ingot]

how do i make toggle component in vrcfury save so i dont need to re-toggle on the object/clothing

[wraith blaze]

Click options

[wraith blaze]

Im assuimg its fixed?

[night ingot]

yes lol

[wraith blaze]

kk

[woven maple]

my avatar was fine without any problems, but out of the blue whenever i move my head down, the body lifts up a little and same goes if i look up it lifts down.
i tried fixing the view point so many times but still cant get it stable...
im using Quest pro and vive trackers 3.0

[wraith blaze]

im assuming thats your trackers, does it work with your trackers off?

not your trackers themselves, but just tracking in general thats the problem*

[wraith blaze]

Also, that might be the shoulder setting thing, i forgot what it was called but it was something involving shoulder tracking in tracking and ik settings

[woven maple]

ohh ill check it out

ty

[foggy tiger]

Maybe try recalculating normals anyways even tho they look fine. I had glasses that looked fine but the normals were gonked

Alt + N in blender

[floral holly]

ok so when i rigged this model her face looks like this? how can i change that

[somber sequoia]

you'll probably need to explain what is wrong here, what you want it to look like, etc. and what you did

[floral holly]

im using cats blender to rig my model, but it keeps messing with the face??

i was told not to use cats to rig my model

and thats the only way i know how to rig models so im just rigging it old fashion way and im having troubles..

the rig button is grey

[somber sequoia]

yeah I'm not sure what cats does but I definitely don't believe anything automated can generate an ideal rig for your model. And you'd still need to weight paint

but in any case, I don't know why that would "mess with the face" at all

[obtuse bronze]

Any clue on how to fix this?

[wraith blaze]

fix what?

[somber sequoia]

er, that's not the right link

[obtuse bronze]

it won't let it go to android

[somber sequoia]

you need to install the build tools for android, it's an optional package for the unity editor

[wraith blaze]

change build settings to android then

[obtuse bronze]

ok

[wraith blaze]

and switch

[somber sequoia]

you need to install android support before any of this ^ is going to work

[wraith blaze]

no, you dont all you need to do is make it android compatable

and the sdk just tells you what errors to fix there

its not complex at all

[obtuse bronze]

so do you think that could have been my problem this whole time?

[somber sequoia]

you need to do this section:
https://creators.vrchat.com/platforms/android/build-test-mobile/#set-up-unity-android-tools

[wraith blaze]

yes you cant build the avatar if the build is not set to the right build

[obtuse bronze]

ah ok

[obtuse bronze]

Also thank you highly appreciated to the both of you

[wraith blaze]

bro explain things yourself instead of just sending links, the avatar help server is for actual help

[somber sequoia]

Why would I retype what someone else already did?

[obtuse bronze]

Well it actually did help a lot so

[wraith blaze]

because its not useful at all coming from someone who reads those articles before going to other help.

all that tells you is not related to their problem

[somber sequoia]

seems to have been useful here? I'm not sure what else you'd want me to do except literally write what is in that document I linked

[wraith blaze]

read through it, it said "you already have all this and heres how you test avatars on mobile" not related to the issue

[somber sequoia]

The section I specifically called out explains how to get the android support components for Unity

[wraith blaze]

again, not their problem

[somber sequoia]

Clearly is, if the "android" checkbox is greyed out there.

[wraith blaze]

it doesn't, it tells you how to change the build in the sdk, and it was greyed out (as stated)

[somber sequoia]

Are you looking at the first link I posted where I said oops, that's wrong, or the last one?

[wraith blaze]

both pretty much say the same thing

[somber sequoia]

they don't look the same at all to me

[wraith blaze]

second one just tells more about testing than anything

[somber sequoia]

the section I linked directly to, entitled "Set Up Unity Android Tools"

[wraith blaze]

yeah where does this say anything about build settings NOT in the sdk

[somber sequoia]

Again, the section I just named

[wraith blaze]

Ok, but thats also just not true

[snow plank]

its literally in the screenshot you posted

[somber sequoia]

That is what you must do in order for that checkbox to not be greyed out.

[wraith blaze]

Where

literally where

[snow plank]

literally the whole top half of the image

it is the first sub section of "Set Up for Build and Test"

[wraith blaze]

ohhh, the part that isnt even needed whatsoever. got it.

this is all useless

[somber sequoia]

I'm curious how you build android content without the Unity tools for building android content.

[wraith blaze]

because its built into the sdk woahhhh who wouldve guessed

[snow plank]

no?

[somber sequoia]

Unity build tools are not built into the VRChat SDK.

[wraith blaze]

uhh yeah they are

[somber sequoia]

they literally tell you on that page I linked to install that stuff.

[random ridge]

._.

[snow plank]

the sdk has vrchat stuff but not the base unity android tools

[wraith blaze]

you dont need those "tools"

[snow plank]

chat is this guy just ragebaiting?

[wraith blaze]

this is literally built in

literally prove me wrong

[snow plank]

that means you already downloaded it

[wraith blaze]

but i havent

[somber sequoia]

that's Unity, not the VRChat SDK, and yes, you've already downloaded it somehow.

[snow plank]

also what kinda server has a profanity filter

[wraith blaze]

i never set any of that up it has always worked

[snow plank]

like this isn't roblox why tf can't i speak like a normal person

[random ridge]

It's installed by default if you installed unity through Creator companion but it's not if you installed it manually

But yes you do in fact need that in order to build for Android

[wraith blaze]

shit

fuck

what are you talking about

[snow plank]

i literally just got

[somber sequoia]

might be 'cause you're new

[snow plank]

thats gay

[wraith blaze]

and thats homophobic

[snow plank]

sure bud

[wraith blaze]

common sense has left the chat

[snow plank]

it left when you couldn't read the first sentence of the page for like 5 minutes straight

[wraith blaze]

because i assumed it came with everything. like someone who had it come with everything would

it even says so

[somber sequoia]

yeah if you use VCC to install Unity, you get this automatically. The person asking here clearly didn't get it already.

[obtuse bronze]

alright another issue what do I do for this?

[indigo compass]

With that much over, set an override fo android on each texture and make them lower resolution and uee the ASTC texture format, 6x6 or 8x8 is a good statting point but you can go higher for lower size.

Crunch compression does not help and will primarily just cause stutters whenever anyone is loading your avatar.

[obtuse bronze]

how do I set the override for android on each texture?

[indigo compass]

Select each texture and in the same spot you set the max resolution there are specific tabs for each platform you have installed.

The first page is the global settings and is imprecise because texture formats differ between platforms.

[obtuse bronze]

ok

[midnight kindle]

hello?

for context my avatar is one with extra arms and legs. each of them just copy the humanoid arms and legs, so the highest chain should just be the length from the shoulder to the end of one of the fingers. but for some reason it's calculated as if every constraint is dependent on every other constraint, when that's just not the case

there's also a constraint for the tail to follow the head's rotation, and for the start of the centaur half to stay aligned vertically, but i don't think those should affect anything (it's not like the centaur half is a root bone or anything, it's separate)

[night ember]

I think the constraint depth adds for each one

[midnight kindle]

here's how it's described in the documentation

constraint depth is a seperate property from the amount of constraints in the avatar as a whole

..wait. i'm using an outdated version of the sdk
sigh yeah that'd do it

i saw that this used to be an issue but thought that wasn't relevant to my issue since it was patched. whoops

[plain mural]

Is there a way to fix dark normals when shapekey is active? I exported from Blender when shapekey was at 100%, but it didn't help

[night ember]

blendshape normals

[plain mural]

?

[night ember]

either make them or use calculate in unity if you havent made custom normals

[obtuse bronze]

how do I fix this? it looks fine on one side

[night ember]

backface culling

[obtuse bronze]

and how do I do that?

[night ember]

shader or model it

[obtuse bronze]

the problem is I don't know how to model

[wooden dew]

Could somebody help me in unity i have alot of errors still can not do any custom avatar {i have prepared avatar just wanna upload it equip it in game}
i downloaded sdk avatar 3.9.0 and 2019.4.21.f1

[night ember]

vrchat doesnt use 2019

[wooden dew]

you sure cuz chat gbt and all yt says 2019?

[night ember]

the creator companion literally tells you

[wooden dew]

k

ima try it out

[night ember]

why would you even trust what chatgpt tells you

[wooden dew]

Well i cant say hi without him

[plain mural]

Gah, something's constantly happening with this model's normals

On a working model, normals mode and blendshape normals = import (last pic), and when shapekeys are activated, everything works fine. But when I did this on a new model, rough polygons appeared when activating shapekeys

[tiny dock]

Just cut it off and mirror the other one

Ez fix

[tiny dock]

😭

Good question

People these days are so dense

[limpid cargo]

sorry, that person doesn’t say it well
find your fbx, enable “legacy blendshape normals”

[plain mural]

Gosh, such a stupid problem... thanks for the tip, it helped

[limpid cargo]

you’re welcome! 🫶🏻

[somber meadow]

The SDK would enforce you to enable it anyway when you got to uploading

[slender spire]

my avatars blendshape was auto on in unity it only changed when i used another blend shape but it messed toggles up, i deleted the blendshape in blender and reimported it replacing the mesh but it still did the blendshape even tho it wasn't on it anymore, how could i fix this?

[night ember]

if the blendshape still exists then it wasnt overwritten

[slender spire]

it's not on the blendshape list at it the mesh kept the form even tho its not in blender, if it's not overwritten how could make sure it does

[night ember]

exporting the fbx and overwriting the already existing file

[slender spire]

i have, i even put it a renamed fbx and it still has the blendshape on that was deleted ?

[wooden zinc]

hey does anyone know how i could make a toggle local with vrcfury im struggling ;w;

[somber meadow]

"Separate Local State" in the options of the toggle

[wooden zinc]

thank you!

[surreal salmon]

i wanna rotate a sphere but cant get it to look good cuz blend shapes squish mid rotation, what would yall reccomend

ittle be on a avatar

[somber sequoia]

Rig it to a bone, rotate the bone

[surreal salmon]

can u animate bone rotations ?

like for a toggle

[somber meadow]

as long as it's not apart of the humanoid rig that you defined

so something like Hips/Spine/Chest/Ball can be animated and transformed

but not Hips/Spine/Chest directly cause you'd have that defined in Unity's rig configuration

[surreal salmon]

im assuming this is reliant on rotation constraints?

[wintry ledge]

yo gang what does that mean </3

[wooden dew]

THX i can do the sdk now

But still i have many proplems Any1 can help me just get rid of them or just like open a sharescreen and help me

[little plume]

whenever i play this animation in game, pc users typically see it fine aslong as they have decent framerate, but where quest users lag alot more the animations seem to slowdown based on framerate
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/869803647826014279/1425165605350412431/2025-10-07_12-55-21.mp4?ex=68e69866&is=68e546e6&hm=e4cb50e26aa943d092d0d8626a46a710720ebcff7bea64de1e8f35a032d38709&

i dont have a clip of what it looks like when it is lagging, but people are saying it is like the animation just slows down for them

idk why the vidoe didnt embed

[opaque thicket]

doe someone know how to make these eyes square and still blink?

[left gull]

if its a mesh take it into blender and sculpt it (on the basis shapekey/blendshape) to be square then edit the blink blendshape to make it look like how you're wanting it to look

[somber sequoia]

nothing useful - share the first 2-3 errors from the console.

[opaque thicket]

now i have to learn how to do that thanks

[icy peak]

Hey is anyone familiar with Mizs Murder drone base models? If so I’m going to need quite a bit of guidance as I’ve only started using blender around 3 days ago.

[icy peak]

Wait I think I’m cooking

So the clothing I found for V (Fell bullet) has its own separate skeleton rig. Could someone help me merge these?

[left gull]

just gotta make sure they share the same bone naming scheme

then either use something like CATS or manually merge em

[icy peak]

Does cats work on 4.5 or do I have to use 2.8 and redo the small amount of work I’ve done?

[somber meadow]

https://cats.neoneko.xyz/

[icy peak]

This is wonderful thank you

[icy peak]

So I'm trying to delete V's right arm but can't find it as it's part of the body collection but I can't find it in there

I've tried removing the vertex group but it's still there. I don't know what I'm missing

Vertex Group labeled Right arm I mean

[hushed ember]

In the same project, a few other avatars have been uploaded normally, but I'm trying to upload the 3rd avat, but I'm getting that error and I'm not uploading my avatars. What should I do?

[icy peak]

Finally I found out

I think

[candid sail]

Okay so im new with making avatars but i made an avatar in blender and everything seemed normal as far as im aware but when i went to move it in unity its body is facing backwards, back facing me and the textures are gone from blender, i atleast expected the textures but im stumped on it being backwards

[still shuttle]

There should be a white line in unity at the feet of your avatar, if the avatar is facing the same way as the white line, you should be fine. You can also move around in the unity scene

as for textures, you will need to import them into unity and set up materials

[somber sequoia]

are you trying to delete a bone, or mesh?

[icy peak]

Mesh. Gonna remove the bones from the outfit and replace them with the V bones

I think I got it right by deleting all of the Vertexs

This is what I ended up with so far

[somber sequoia]

ok then you'd need to go into mesh edit mode and select the actual mesh parts (face, vertex, etc) then delete them. maybe a vertex group can help you

so yeah, that seems right

[candid sail]

well i got that part sorted but i then see this

[somber sequoia]

Yep - you can't have another object on your avatar with the same name as a humanoid bone. Looks like you have a mesh named Head

[sharp lily]

I symmeturised my model and it made all the weights patented to the right side of the armature and idk how to fix it.

[foggy tiger]

Why are teh other 2 options greyed out

I was trying to upload the quest version of my BFs avatar but it doesn't give me the option to change platform

[somber sequoia]

#avatar-help message

[foggy tiger]

I already have that done

[somber sequoia]

shouldn't be greyed out then

[foggy tiger]

Lol the add modules thing isn't even an option

[somber sequoia]

ah that can happen if you didn't install Unity via the UnityHub

[foggy tiger]

Couldn't even do that if I wanted to. They don't give you the option

[somber sequoia]

worked for me

[foggy tiger]

They allow 2022.3.62f2 but not 22f1

Have to go to the website to get it

[verbal latch]

it said something about vrcfury being able to fix it but idk

[foggy tiger]

Or install thru vcc

[somber sequoia]

Yeah, this is stupid, somewhere in there is a way to get to the archive list website via the UnityHub. As a Linux user, VCC isn't an option so that's the way I had to do it

ah I see it

[foggy tiger]

But either way I built my own avatar on quest

Same unity

[somber sequoia]

in "Installs", you go click the "Install editor" button at the upper right and then at the top is "Archive" - go in there.

[cyan light]

Hey, sorry to interject but I've been trying to find a base/basic mimi sentry model without having to go through re-doing everything in blender; does anyone have one/know where to find one?

[somber sequoia]

there's a link to "download archive" that you can use to get the right version in the right way.

[foggy tiger]

Not a thing on windows

[somber sequoia]

... literally right there in front of you

click "download archive"

[foggy tiger]

Oh I thought you meant like that you could browse the archive from the app

Yeah I already went to the site lol

[somber sequoia]

no, you have to click this and it puts you in a browser in the right context somehow that when you go to install one it goes into unity hub.

going separately won't work

[foggy tiger]

Well it's alr installed now

[somber sequoia]

if you can't add the android package to it, it's not installed right, so if you want that, delete it and install how I'm saying to

[foggy tiger]

Oh apparently it's disabled

[foggy tiger]

Fair enough

gigabit will make it take literally like a minute

[somber sequoia]

yeah - that's why I didn't put any effort into figuring out how to fix it

[foggy tiger]

I mean it's bull because I did install the android tools

But reinstalling won't take too long so idc

Well I didn't unistall the other one and now idk how to switch it in vcc

I have 2022.3.22f1 installed twice and it's using the wrong one

I deleted the other one, testing it again

Fixed

It auto found the right one when I deleted the wrong one

[simple inlet]

Anyone know what could cause liltoon outlines to not work? Even if I set the Mask & Width to max there are no outlines. Works fine on previous versions of the avatar FBX.
FIXED: Apply all transforms in Blender before export.

[foggy tiger]

Can private avatars not be cloned anymore?

[simple inlet]

As far as I'm aware private avatars have never been clonable. I believe that's what makes them private. Could be wrong tho

[foggy tiger]

Nah bc I made an avatar for my friend in the past and uploaded it to my profile as private and they just cloned it off me

[somber sequoia]

that shouldn't be possible

[foggy tiger]

???

It happened though

Is there a way to do that again?

[somber sequoia]

I bet it wasn't actually private before

[foggy tiger]

What would happen if I re-privated it?

They would still have it?

[somber sequoia]

then only the owner can use it

[foggy tiger]

That makes no sense because it's always been private and they were using it though

[somber sequoia]

fascinating.

[foggy tiger]

I'll upload it as public then

[somber sequoia]

I wasn't aware that was possible.

[foggy tiger]

I jsut thought private meant it can't be found

[somber sequoia]

it can always be found

[foggy tiger]

Then I have no clue

[foggy tiger]

How do you make 2 seperate unity projects have the same avatar id thing

Because I need to have 2 seperate projects for quest vs pc version

[modest ridge]

what did i need to change to disable those hand animations? i have two projects with the same avi but i just cant remember what i did to disable this

omg not again. damn mkv

[sharp lily]

I symmeturised my model and it made all the weights patented to the right side of the armature and idk how to fix it.

[foggy tiger]

Importing the quest package overwrites the scene so duplicating the project won't do anything

[somber meadow]

You can simply just disable gestures in the quick menu or bind it in the steamvr bindings, or do you want to keep your facial expressions

[modest ridge]

yes i need to have gestures enabled

If I remember correctly, it had something to do with the FX layer, but even when going back and forth between my two avatars, I can't figure out what's different.

[somber meadow]

FX doesn't do finger muscle animations

it's simply just the gesture layer

you're most likely going to be able to just get away with simply removing the custom gesture layer from the descriptor

[modest ridge]

could you make a screenshot of what exactly needs to be removed and from where 🙏

[modest ridge]

looks like this for me

[somber meadow]

unless the FX enforces tracking control set to animation on the hands for some reason, that's odd

[modest ridge]

i even copy pasted the whole avatar folder from my other project into this one, so it should replace the fx layer settings but it didnt change anything

[indigo compass]

With worlds, yes, with avatars no.

Private avatars have always only been available to use by the uploader.

[primal swift]

i have these particles i can throw, but whenever i do, the first few particles dont get thrown for some reason? they just fall down, how do i fix that? (im using the inherit velocity set to initial

[modest ridge]

how is it possible that even if i delete everything out of the controller it acts like nothing change, everything still works like before

This hand gesture is just a minor thing, but it's so damn annoying.

[somber sequoia]

it's probably not ideal to use the same controller for all layers.

[reef zealot]

Above are my Blender Copy Rotation settings, what settings should I use in Unity with VRC Rotation Constraints to achieve the same thing? Trying to fiddle with it myself but the bone keeps flying off to the side

[somber meadow]

define what you're attempting with that copy rotation modifier. Is this a twist bone?

[reef zealot]

Hip helper bone to help maintain volume when sitting or otherwise bending the legs

[modest ridge]

found now out what causes it, for whatever reason the face tracking addon "disable gestures" feature is adding this animation, no idea why but now after i removed it its gone, now i just use the vrcfury gesture disabler

[reef zealot]

Oh wait I think I got it, needed "Solve in Local Space"

[somber sequoia]

yeah definitely local space

[plain turret]

i have a slight problem, i have my build target set to android and im trying to make my pc side load, however i cant switch my build type to pc again since i cant sign into my account atm. is there another way to swap build type without needing to be signed in?

perhaps i can log into someone elses account and then switch build type then log out of their account again? theoretically that would work right?

[still ivy]

Hello, i just got vrc+ but am i not able to upload characters yet?

[somber meadow]

Ctrl + Shift + B

click the tab of the corresponding platform you want to switch to, and click switch platform

[somber meadow]

What trust rank do you have on your profile

[still ivy]

user

[plain turret]

lifesaver, cheers man ^^

[somber meadow]

Then you're able to upload, the minimum rank required for uploading content is "New User"

make sure you're using a VRChat account and not a platform account (Steam, Meta, Vive, ect)

[still ivy]

i should be able to, but according to sdk i dont have permission

[somber meadow]

what's your name in game, does it have a string of 4 random characters at the end

like Null 84EO

[still ivy]

its Eshe de-riva

oh duck me i was using the wrong account

thats mb

im so used to using my old email i didnt even think it had any connections

[clear flame]

My avatar now looks like this whenever I upload it. Anyone know what the problem might be?

[plain turret]

man he needs some milk. (my best guess may be the avatar is using anticlip blendshapes and the default value may be auto set to 100, that or an animation is forcing it like that)

[plain turret]

does it still do it in gesturemanager? (also vrcfury does some funky stuff if you use it, consider checking for some sort of full controller or toggle doing that)

[clear flame]

How do I check gesturemanager?

[delicate wolf]

Anyone else's lights not working for any quest avatars?

[somber sequoia]

Avatar lights don't work on quest, so yes, everyone's 🙂

[left gull]

like said above they're not meant to be on quest in the first place, any that did work previously were using a bypass that vrchat patched

[stark cypress]

i cannot find anything meaningful in this error log so something is probably very fundamentally broken

imported this model from blender into unity

[somber sequoia]

check the SDK build window, maybe there's a blocker there?

[stark cypress]

trying to build and test and it keeps throwing meaningless errors

[stark cypress]

i don't think so?

[somber sequoia]

does build and publish work though?

[stark cypress]

i don't know but i'd rather not publish

[somber sequoia]

you can easily publish privately if that's a concer

also that build window isn't showing the report on problems or stats

[stark cypress]

don't know what that is

this shit's all new to me

[somber sequoia]

it's that window you showed but another part of it that's clipped out of the image.

[stark cypress]

kinda diving head-first into something complex and i wanna get it to a basic "it will run in VRChat" point

this is all i see

the little button obscured by the bar just shows me the console

[somber sequoia]

make that window taller

[stark cypress]

ohhh

[hushed ember]

This was a Unity bug in the end. It didn't work out, so I woke up and re-uploaded it just in case, and it worked fine.

[buoyant solar]

i’m trying to upload an avatar for quest, when i select android it starts loading then my pc freezes and doesn’t unfreeze i have to restart it, it keeps happening everytime i try to switch to android. i uploaded pc version just fine. how do i fix this?

[ornate stump]

Can you create a blank project and switch to android?

[icy peak]

So I've been trying to Kitbash a V and fell Bullet. I just merged the armatures but the clothing isn't moving with the V. Is there anything I should check for?

I made a backup before merging just in case

I should probably take a screenshot hold on

[buoyant solar]

okay that worked but now when i attach the pc and android one i get a bunch of errors. im new to uploading avis idk how to fix any of them lol

[ornate stump]

If you want us to explain the errors then you have to also provide the error detail.

[icy peak]

heres a photo of the backup before merging

merged but with more info on right side

[icy peak]

I might redo this whole thing. I don't know what I'm doing and I feel I hit a roadblock

[limpid cargo]

there is weight painting issue

something not weighted to other

[icy peak]

Yeah, now I just have to figure out how to fix it. although I've been working on this for around 6 hours so I'll come back to it tomorrow

At least I'm certain of it now with your reply. Thank you

[rustic tide]

Good video tutorial

[icy peak]

Thank you truly

We love blender. More ppl need to join the blender loving hivemind

Cause putting in ”vrchat” when looking for a tutorial gives you worse quality restults

[gilded vector]

Im trying to setup a custom locomotion animation, but when i click undo(just to fix a wrong rotation it resets it back to whatever animation it was before adjusting, and just exiting preview mode removes them as well, im just trying to have my avi rest its hand on her hip and it wont let me, any way i could fix or go around this?
(im using goloco for most of the locomotion and i thought it'd be easier to edit one of those poses but ti wont let me)

[ornate stump]

"Won't let me" as in how exactly it doesn't let you?

the video is taking a bit to upload srry

[winter perch]

How do I apply this in my avi? I just learned Unity today haha

https://booth.pm/en/items/4314511

[gilded vector]

everytime the arm snaps back is when i press ctrl+z, it does the same thing when i exit preview mode

[ornate stump]

You can't record rotation to humanoid bone directly. You have to edit the existing numbers in the animation panel below.

This is not unique to gogoloco.

[gilded vector]

ah okay idk why i didnt think of that lol thx

ill get back to this in the morning its 7am for me

[winter perch]

why is my avi looks like that? the avi moved but not with the clothes

[digital river]

im pretty sure theres a lot of ppl here uses Robust weight paint so does anyone know whats this about?

[ornate stump]

How did you merge armature?

[winter perch]

I.....didn't(?)

[ornate stump]

That's the reason then.

[winter perch]

How should I do it?

[ornate stump]

Are you using vrcfury or modular avatar in your project?

[winter perch]

Modular avatar

[ornate stump]

https://modular-avatar.nadena.dev/docs/tutorials/clothing

Also using tool to merge won't apply in animation preview so keep that in mind.

[winter perch]

oh never mind... it was somehow because of unity's play mode

[balmy barn]

you using a very old blender there, got 4.5 ?

[grizzled rose]

Hey guys! I need some ideas on how to tackle a system I want to make:

I want to make a system where if I step down, little stars appear.
Simple right? I got contacts on my feet, and floor contacts.
However, I want this to work with ovr too.
Currently it doesn’t because the floor contacts are stuck at the actual floor, not my play space floor. I have a position constraint on the floor colliders with the y axis off.
(I have this off because I believe if I keep it on, it’s just going to constantly stay right on top of the foot and not work)

Help 😅

[opaque thicket]

can someone help me with dis error and uhh help me make the funny strips have gravity and not me stiff?

[unique cloud]

Heyo! I'm looking to add some functionality to my product and am looking for resources since I don't exactly know what to google for. Essentially, I want there to be an area I can grab, this should spawn a prop that's held in the hand, which then also can be left in world (floating, no world physics needed) if you let go of it. Likewise, if you place the object iwthin the grab area again and let go it should disappear again. Can anyone direct me toward what I'd need to be looking for? feel free to @ me so I get notified, thanks! ❤️

[somber sequoia]

that error isn't useful without context - is it the only one?

[opaque thicket]

yeah but its no longer an issue

it would be nice if you could help me with those strips though

[naive wind]

anybody has an idea, how to make my particles show up in my mirrors ?
either by unity / shader settings or VRChat settings ?

[warm adder]

Don't use Unity's default particle shaders they don't reflect in mirrors.
Use a shader that supports mirrors, like:
Poiyomi Shader or Mochie’s Particle Shader
In the shader settings, enable mirror reflection (if available).

Make sure the particle system is on a layer visible to mirrors.

[vital crow]

Anyone know how to fix this error

[spice atlas]

If anyone has a suggestion for how I can get the blood effect going that would be awesome

https://tenor.com/view/space-king-blood-sign-flashgitz-coagulators-gif-6301676651627017871

[ornate stump]

Install VRCFury.

[ornate stump]

You just have to enable "Double Sided" in the material settings.

[vital crow]

is that why im geting errors uploading

[ornate stump]

"Missing script" means you are really missing some of the script required by the avatar.

[somber sequoia]

By default particles are one-side, you need to disable backface culling, regardless of which particle shader you use.

[naive wind]

I do use Poiyomi Shader, but it still does not show up! Ok so here is my current setup:

• game-object is on layer "0, Default" (that's what u meant right ?)
• Unity particle system with render mode = billboard, render alignment = view
• shader: poi Toon 9.2. render mode: soft additive (render queue 3000)
• did not try the Mirror/Cam visibility section, since it was never necessary ? well I turned it on now, lets see
• @ornate stump double sided ? Well backface culling was on if you mean that ? I turned it off now

@somber sequoia ah ok - so it seems to be the backface culling ! thanks to you all guys for the tipps. love

[ornate stump]

It's called "Double Sided" in unity standard particle shader you asked in your initial question.

[feral dew]

Hello yall hope yall doing great I was wondering if their is a Labubu VR chat skin? thank you in advance

[cedar echo]

#1138520828556890214
And there is quite a few inside of prismics

[feral dew]

their are Labub skins on prismics?

[winter perch]

How do I "remove" this built in toggle?
90% of it doesn't work properly anyways

[prisma sedge]

Remove it from the expressions menu in unity

[winter perch]

Where can I access it?

[balmy barn]

unity

[winter perch]

I know

But which setting?

[wintry ledge]

how to turn the psd file into png? i got new skin tex and it only had a unity file,got it in,and the tex only opens in psd(i dont got photoshop,it opens in libre office draw instead)

i can export it as png but then the size gets messed up and whole thing becomes blurred

[wraith blaze]

click on your avatar in the hierarchy, scroll down to the expressions menu and click on it, then remove the shit you don’t want

[winter perch]

Nice

Thank you!

[amber gull]

can someone help me how can i export an avatar fbx from unity to blender?

thats the settings i used

[wraith blaze]

just find the fbx in the assets folder, right click, show in explorer, and that’s the fbx

[amber gull]

the main one doesn't have ft blendshapes the one on the hierarchy has the generated blendshapes and i want to use it.

[wraith blaze]

idk then lol i don’t really think you can

there might be a plugin for that but other than that i’m not sure

[somber sequoia]

yeah, this is going to go poorly - you really want to treat the blender -> unity pipeline as one direction.

[timber sparrow]

Yo does anyone know a good female furry cat head cuz I'm trying to make something for a friend

That's free

[boreal saffron]

Hi! I got my SlimeVR trackers 3 weeks ago and I've been having a great deal of trouble getting them to work on my main avatar. Here are some videos and pictures of the issue. My feet are in the ground and despite talking to the SlimeVR support in the server, I can't seem to fix it. I'm thinking really heavily that it's an avatar issue because in that little clown avatar everything seems to work perfectly fine, but I had a friend test my main model out on their SlimeVR trackers and it worked perfectly fine too, but they are on PCVR with SteamVR. I should mention that I am a Quest3s standalone user. I don't know if that information helps with anything in particular but I'm really at a loss here :( if someone could possibly pinpoint what's wrong here and tell me how to fix it, I will be forever grateful. Thanks!

[timber sparrow]

Yo question how do I put a avatar head on a different body

[somber sequoia]

Your avatar proportions may not match your IRL ones well. This looks weird, the way both avatars look different here. But I'd start by trying some other known working ones, rather than a toony clown.

[olive pelican]

Blender.

[timber sparrow]

Kk

Is there any way to get a unity package in blender

[somber sequoia]

no, but if you load it into Unity you could find the .fbx inside and just import that into Blender.

[olive pelican]

^

It's not the hardest process, but it's nott he easiest. I'd call it a 6/10.

[timber sparrow]

Kk

I might need some help Cuz I'm pretty new at this

[olive pelican]

10/10 being optimized subdiv modeled baked normals avatar from zero.

Basically, import FBX of head model, delete mesh and boens you aren't using, move, scale, whatever, then apply all transforms, apply armature modifier to head mesh, join head nones to body bones, set new armature modifier.

There's tutorials on how to do it.

(Most of them are mid, but I am WAY too busy as fuck to cut a tutorial rn)

bloody typos, I need to ease off the caffiene.

[timber sparrow]

Yo cool I message you directly cuz I might need some help with it later

Cuz I'm just getting the files I need right now

[olive pelican]

I mean, all I'm gonna do is link you to tutorials, lmao.

I'm STACKEd on work rn.

[timber sparrow]

Kk

[rigid coral]

does anyone have a good guide on avatr contacts? I'm following text advice but none of it is working so I'm assuming there is something I should have done or need to do that is assumed. A link to a solid video would work! Been following text advice for 2 days and failing.

[somber sequoia]

they're pretty simple, feel free to ask specific questions. Otherwise much detail is here: https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/avatar-dynamics/contacts

[rigid coral]

It looks it and the setup seems easy enough but it never functions and for the life of me i cant get a test to work

so i cant tell if it actually doesd anything without repeated uploads

[wooden dew]

Yo can some1 help me im new to vr chat any avatar that i upload like prepared ones it always white no texture on it could some1 help me or i can even screenshare to him I'd be apprtiate that

[somber sequoia]

you can test in play mode using gesture manager or av3 emulator - just make a game object (like a sphere) and put a contact sender on that, then poke your avatar's contact receiver with it

[rigid coral]

thats what the guides say nothing ever happens. Even changed every name to be the same. So I assume there is a step that is basically automatic people do that i simply dont know or i'm missing something in teh project.

likely it's a simple step and im just ebing dumb and frustarted/burnt out on it

[somber sequoia]

Watch the animator parameter to see if it's changing, it could be your animator logic rather than the contact itself.

Also remember that if your test object is not on the avatar, just in the scene, then it's not a local contact, and contact receivers will treat it like it's another player

this one gets me about half the time I do this, I keep forgetting 🙂

[rigid coral]

i'll give it a look. Never would have thought about that

[olive pelican]

What are you trying to make/do?

Like, from a functional standpoint.

[boreal saffron]

Okay! Thank you.

[wooden dew]

Could anyone help me to upload an avatar ,
the avatar is fully complete but its fully white for some reason

[rigid coral]

sound on contact entry

it looks setup corectly but fails to function

i figure its likely a setting or something i have off as i dont normally do avi work. Just shader adjustments and vram reductions

do my best to reduce load on others when possible but i'd liek to learn contacts and see where I can go with it

[olive pelican]

Change it from "on entry" to "constant", on entry is broken.

Or I've never had good luck with it.

[rigid coral]

I'll give it another shot in a bit. Thank you for the advice. It's seriously frying me.

[olive pelican]

No worries, if you're still stuck later I can take a moment to eye it. It's likely an issue of the parameter name, the animator/animation, or just that it's not triggering for some reason.

[pallid anchor]

hello chat, quick toggle question, is it possible to hide a mesh using a toggle?

[somber sequoia]

Sure, lots of ways - could shrink it by shrinking the bone it's attached to, shrink via blendshape, UV tile discard, or outright disable the GameObject.

[olive pelican]

^^

[pallid anchor]

how would one going about doing that? /genq

id prefer the easiest way cause im still fairly new, lol

[olive pelican]

There's several tutorials on youtube on how to set up prop toggles.

Have you tried looking at thsoe tutorials?

[pallid anchor]

i have, but none of them have really been what im looking for

[somber sequoia]

toggling on/off a game object is usually the easiest and most of the tutorials ought to work for it

[olive pelican]

Indeed. What exactly are you trying to do?

[short ferry]

does anyone know how to make model on your avatar follow you? Like a pet or something, but using your own model for said pet

[tender bough]

(Not really avi help but still wanted to ask)

Does anyone else have this problem? If so could someone please help me on how to fix it/update it

[somber meadow]

it doesn't cause issues and you don't need to worry about it unless you're building unity games on those versions, which you aren't if your main focus is VRC content creation

#announcements message covers this

[tender bough]

oh

Alr thx

[short ferry]

I would like it to be quest compatable as well

[olive pelican]

Tons of ways, from some physbones, all the way thru to complex contact systems.

[wooden siren]

I need some help with making my avatar.
I'm trying to get my first avatar into vr chat but the SDK is flagging up things that i didn't expect. I've made the avatar an android avatar so i can use it with my quest 2 but the SDK is saying that the mobile shaders aren't compatible with quest.

the SDK is also saying that the arms and the feet aren't specified but they are and the SDK is saying that my model doesn't have a head mapped when it does.

Can anyone please help?

(i am very new to this, this is my first time trying to make a vr chat avatar, i tried to post this on the subreddit but i didn't have enough karma)

[olive pelican]

WRT the shader, you got a shader somewhere that's a standard shader.

It could be that you have 2 meshes or something.

Do a quick check on the meshes you have in the hierarchy, it will list the shaders you're using.

[somber meadow]

You need to use VRChat/Mobile shaders (included from the SDK)

not Mobile

[wooden siren]

That I get, but the Mobile shader is also getting flagged

[wooden siren]

??

[wooden siren]

I didn't know there was two different mobile shader sections

[somber meadow]

one's by Unity the other is from VRChat

[unkempt pelican]

Hey guys, i was trying to use pumkin tools to copy my stuff over and for some reason the ui went weird and i cannot use it properly anymore as the button to copy disapeared. anyone know why this happened or how to fix? i tried reinstalling it but that dident work.

[somber meadow]

have you tried the default channel instead of the pre-release version

[unkempt pelican]

nvm, i found the issue, the External button has to be closed

[somber meadow]

external button?

[unkempt pelican]

in the picture at the bottom

hitting the arrow on external option causes it to disappear completely

[wooden siren]

Does anyone have any advice about the other problem with the armature?

[unkempt pelican]

I think ive had a simaler issue a while back about the rigging issue, i think you used mixamo to rig it, so try renameing the bone names. (preferably with blender before the import if you have cats it can do it real easy)
im no expert but its something to try

[wooden siren]

I will try that, what is cats may I ask?

[unkempt pelican]

Old addon for support,

used to do like 90% of the work for people setting up models for vrchat

idk if its still used today because most people updated there blender and im still using the old one xD

[somber meadow]

an unofficial fork of CATS exists for recent versions of Blender

https://cats.neoneko.xyz/

though the creator is moving to their own tool entirely. https://github.com/teamneoneko/Avatar-Toolkit

[unkempt pelican]

makes it as easy as import hit button export.

unity i do know can be really particular about the nameing system of your bones

[somber sequoia]

Bone names are for your convenience, Unity doesn't really care.

[unkempt pelican]

im just noting that the bone names have caused me issues before

and since his issue is a mapping issue that he seems to of done correctly its my asumption

[somber sequoia]

oh absolutely - having funny names makes it much harder for you to figure out what goes where.

Unity will often guess wrong.

.... or your hierarchy is wrong 🙂

[unkempt pelican]

thats fair

using mixamo 🤮

[tawdry swallow]

genuinely what the fart does this mean

[icy peak]

Struggling pretty badly on blender. would anyone be willing to watch me screen share and give me a general direction?

[wooden siren]

This has worked, thank you

[unkempt pelican]

yay! 😄

[zealous gyro]

hello

right now i'm going through hell

i got an outfit which was working but it had no blendshape on the cloths for the chest so i made it, but after i exported the fbx back into unity it started to make this black thing around the avatar when i copied the shaders and the materials back to the clothing

i'm really new to avatar making and i do it because i want to learn new things, but right now i'm hard stuck on this

i was thinking on adding the shader into blender because when i make the textures in blender it works but the shader is not appied

but i'm not sure if that's the easiest way to do it or not

[pallid anchor]

sorry for late reply but, i want a toggle where if i activate it a gameobject (in my case, a scarf) hides itself, or makes itself out of normal view, and if i turn the toggle off it reverts back to normal

[sour sparrow]

how do i make it so when i have a form toggle on but i have an ability, that i can change the color of that abilty depending on the form?

for example, i have a blade of energy, but i wanna make it so that when i go to the golden form i have, the blade changes to gold when i change to the gold form and have the energy blade on

[somber sequoia]

change material or maybe hue shift your material. Really depends on how it's setup now

[sour sparrow]

i mean in the animator

[somber sequoia]

right but you need to figure out what to animate before you go to the animator

[sour sparrow]

i already have

[somber sequoia]

and once you've figured that out, it's just like animating anything else

[sour sparrow]

ohh i gothca

[somber sequoia]

you start recording an animation, change the property or swap material or whatever, save it, then setup the animator to trigger it based on some parameter change

[hybrid basin]

Using Poi to make a translucent cutout window for this torso, but the alpha transparency looks weird and patchy. Are there any shader settings that would make this look better?

[somber sequoia]

there isn't one

[pure isle]

how do i fix this, the one on the right is my original model, and the left is a clean version just imported to blender. im trying to fix the issue with the teeth. normally i would change the normal and blendeshape settings however when i do it makes the left look like the right. (the blendshape glitches.) i use face tracking so its really noticeable when im talking to people

[somber meadow]

What's bad about the image on the right?

is your FBX exported under the FBX All scaling

[pure isle]

they are using the same material so the lips should look like the image on the right.

i havent tried that ill do that now

that did it ty

[astral river]

I created a brand new unity project via the creator companion and selected the packages i wanted (which has worked in the past) for whatever reason the files do not show in my project. Anyone know why this may be?

[somber meadow]

click the eyeball icon in the project tab to unhide folders

[somber sequoia]

the all-seeing eye

[astral river]

?? i don't see an eye... maybe i'm blind

[somber sequoia]

iirc upper-right in the "Project" window

it's obscured in that ^ image

[astral river]

oh jeez, yeah i see it. thanks x.x

[vapid swan]

Gogoloco problems anyone knows wtf this means

[neat coral]

my vrcc broke when i restarted my PC and broke my Scene and FX and animation, is there anyway to recover it? Its uploaded to vrc but sadly cant downlaod it lol

[somber sequoia]

you can't download avatars or worlds from VRChat.

[icy peak]

I need some advice on how you guys would weight paint this arm

[somber sequoia]

Such that it moves like you want it to, with the bones.

not a great answer, but without being able to actually move it around, there's really no way to tell you how the weight should be

[icy peak]

yeah but it has extra bones for the flames but some reason they dont follow the the elbow bone when they move

[somber sequoia]

Unless those bones are children of the arm bones, or you have setup rotation constraints, yep, that's how it is

I'd probably paint those parts first, and have the bones be children of the arm bone

but again, without playing with the model, dunno - can't really see the bones clearly in your image there either.

[icy peak]

for a bit more context this Is from the fell bullet outfit I got off of booth. I can send the link

[somber sequoia]

no need, I'm not going to load up the project and look at it

[icy peak]

fair enough

[neat coral]

I know that

Im screwed Imam ahve to redo everythinh

[somber sequoia]

not sure why you asked then?

otherwise restore from a backup. You have one, right? 🙂

(nobody does, the first time)

[icy peak]

this might be like a really basic question but i want all the bones under "upper_arm_r" until "arm flame left" to be moved under "Right elbow". how do i go about doing that?

[somber sequoia]

in the bone properties box you can set the parent bone

(in armature edit mode)

[astral river]

Anyone know what would cause these piercings to rotate after the ears move?

[left gull]

do the piercings have their own bone and do the ears have phybones on them?

[astral river]

i'm not sure how to be certain of that, but it's a possibility. i ripped them from a different asset

how would i check?

[left gull]

👀

err id use different wording there but grab the bones under the ear bone and see if it just moves the peircing or not

can be done in unity or blender's pose mode

[astral river]

i haphazardly removed them from an asset i own xD
they initially rotate after i move the ear (not necessarily maintaining their rotation)

[devout fulcrum]

anybody know why my hands are so messed up when i build and test in vrchat?

also is it just me or does this face look kinda flat or something

[somber sequoia]

if you convert that to .mp4 it'll embed

[astral river]

it embeded in my dms x.x

guh

i think i fixed it. I deleted the old ones and disabled the rig animation type and dropped new ones in. i figured it didn't need that so i guess we'll see

that did not fix it... I think there's a bone left on them or smt cuz they're fine until i scrunch the asset, then their positioning breaks

[timber sparrow]

I tried reinstalling it and it's still the same thing

Yo I need some help with my unity whenever I open it it just does this

I really need some help If anyone's on

Cuz I'm trying to finish a project for a gift

[somber sequoia]

is that just a maximized inspector window?

in the menus there's a way to reset the layout, maybe under Window?

[timber sparrow]

Okay I got it working

But my VR chat creator client is now gone

[olive tendon]

Hi hi, my avatars view point seems messed up as it seems like it’s in my body, here a shitty picture, what can I do? Everything seems to be set up correctly, I’m just not sure

[olive tendon]

If it’s linked with vrc Fury, try clicking on advanced options within the vrc fury toggle and unblock align rotation

[somber meadow]

Did you already check the view point position in the avatar descriptor and made sure there's no camera directly in the avatar

[olive tendon]

Yes

[somber meadow]

t:camera in your hierarchy search

[olive tendon]

It all seems good, I mean, I do have this message, let me screenshot it rq

[somber meadow]

oh wait

this looks like your avatar's origin is way below your feet

you either need to fix this in blender by correcting the origin, or simply adjusting the armature object in the Unity rig configurator till your feet meet the origin point

[olive tendon]

Yessssss that’s the message I’m getting right now, I think I fixed it, let me check

[boreal sky]

I cant understand Whats wrong I did a normal upload like I use to do and I cant and its saying me this

[somber sequoia]

Missing script means you added something but didn't add its prerequisite package

[boreal sky]

Wtf its only a unity package tho like idk what script

[somber sequoia]

dunno, you'd have to see if it has documentation that mentions it

[boreal sky]

Well no thts the problem and I contacted the creator and he didnt respond Even on his discord

[somber meadow]

it's really late in the NA area currently

they most likely aren't going to respond instantly

read the avatar's store listing for required scripts

[olive tendon]

Fixed it !!

[boreal sky]

Its just say nothing abt this 😭

[somber meadow]

My guess would to be make sure VRCFury is imported

[boreal sky]

Yes it is

thts all its says and i did excaly what it says

[balmy dove]

Hey guys can yall help me find this avatar, friend has begged me to find it but I can't (any suggestions?)

[coarse thistle]

why do i do this when i record animations and it stays like that until i press gesture manager

[plain phoenix]

Hello everyone! Is there a way to replace/reset an avatar's walking animation? I have a custom Minase-based avatar with GoGoLoco, and the walking animation on it is super goofy, not sure it's supposed to be this way. Is there any way I can find a different compatible one and change it out?

[vague idol]

Hi, does anybody know how to fix this issue with PCSS? The fur shader on the cardigan doesn't work with PCSS.

#1138520828556890214

[unkempt pelican]

anyone know why my avi is doing this pose in unity? i made a copy of them and used the copy to make an animation but when i went back to the original it was doing this too...

works fine still whe in playmode and in game but its doing this possition in unity

ive had it happen before but was unable to fix it

[warm adder]

I think the issues is in bones

it should be in a T pose

[unkempt pelican]

it was fine before i started making animations on a copy

but when i went back after making the animation and reinable this

it was in this possition as if still making an animation

whats super annyoing is my version that i used to animate is working fine.

it goes back into the tpose

[balmy barn]

can reset it back with pumkin tools / other things

[unkempt pelican]

what do i need to select?

found this

oh i got it!

hit reset

ur a G, dident think pumpkin could do that

[balmy barn]

its handy sometime i get stuck in 'bike' pose too

[unkempt pelican]

huge W.

i really dident want to have to remake the avi in unity again

[coarse thistle]

any fixes for this?

[unkempt pelican]

allot of components i have to manually add over since pumpkin doesent copy my shapechanger componentns

[unkempt pelican]

whats your animator look like

EX:

cause it looks like half of you is doing the pose that happens in animation.

like mine was above

[coarse thistle]

this?

well the problem is it does it when i record an animation and then when i unpress it it goeslike that until i press the play button

for example hold on

see so it goes fine then it goes in the bicycle pose then when unrecord into this werid idk what pose you would call it

[balmy barn]

pumkin can copy most component unless there are some it doesnt know about then you ned to add it on #external , just have to enable it

[noble swallow]

looking for some help on an issue i dont know how to fix

when importing the fbx into unity everything is fine except one of my clothing accessories. its see through, acting like the normals are on the inside, except in blender i already looked over face orientation and normals and they are on the outside. idk why its doing this, ive never encountered this issue before. if anyone knows, any help will be greatly appreciated!

[coarse thistle]

check in blender backphasing isn't on i think thats what its called let me see

sometimes that can cause it

[noble swallow]

i had checked that too but it isnt enabled

[unkempt pelican]

i tried adding the MA Shape Changer component but it dident work

[unkempt pelican]

Well, bysicle pose in animation preview is normal when doing that, the one hand out tho.. i dont know i would suggest doing what i did above and use pose editor to reset it to default possition

[coarse thistle]

tried

it just keep it like that until i press record again

see the part that i would say eh just upload it like that i had a problem it was doing something to my avatar that made my avatar do that werid camera thing like when avatars fly you look a certain dirrection and it changes to where ever your looking its hard to explain but i check if was control drift and no and none of my other avis that i worked on did that so im thinking it does something to where it makes this werid glitch happen to me

[noble swallow]

do you know anything else it might be?

[coarse thistle]

na other than normals andchecking the material u put on in unity sorry

[noble swallow]

all good, ty!

[noble swallow]

fixed it! i applied all transforms and recalculated the normals to the outside and its fine now

[ruby summit]

could someone help me? my avatar's eyes do this when i try to pose them for eye look

[somber sequoia]

The gogo loco documentation has instructions on how to replace the animations it provides, I'd start there.

[ruby summit]

ok fixed

[balmy barn]

eyebones wrong direction, no value should be needed on looking straight

[ruby summit]

well the only way they work is like that

[balmy barn]

need to fix that in blender make them eyebones straight up

[ruby summit]

up?

they are like this on the model

i had to rerig them since the eyes were broken but they work fine on blender

[balmy barn]

ok, vrchat dont want them like that

[ruby summit]

oh ill try

[ruby summit]

they still drift

and they now are as you said

[ruby summit]

could someone help me do a swing effect similar to the one on the movie please

[somber sequoia]

trail renderer maybe?

[empty ingot]

Hey im using the wyren base, i made some light topo edits (deleting those hideous palm beans and the mask) and im having hella clipping issues with the hoodie and pants

I have both set up in vrc fury with a toggle armature link and blend-shape link to body but the clipping persists. No pics till i get home.

I also have a broken hue slider? I made it from scratch, animation works in the player and the menu works on the avi, however they aren’t working together.

Other than that i should be good just need help with these last bits

Also the jaw is hanging open like the model is brain dead but i think i remember how to fix that, just need to delete the jaw yea?

[prisma thunder]

Hello! Been a while since I've been hereeee, but I just wanted to double check that my idea would work ^w^

Oh, also, can I make multiple (5) particle systems use only one material slot, provided it's the same material?

If you don't know what RUMBLE is, basically I'm using hand rotation + position to summon structures, and then modify them after summoning them

Look up RUMBLE on steam if you wanna see what I mean :3

[somber sequoia]

no, each particle renderer is a separate material slot. Each trail renderer too.

[prisma thunder]

Ahh alrighty

[hot rune]

this is what keeping me stuck, i just cant select it and i've already run the download thing it wants me too

[prisma thunder]

I'll probably use blend shapes for that then

I wonder if there is any way to cheese physics outside of an animation

Like maybe with physbones or a Ridgid body

But that wouldn't work great for quest

Or general performance

[ocean marsh]

hey, I'm having a weird issue with one of the shaders on my avatar, on the valve index specifically this shader is rendering offset to the actual avatar in the right eye, I can't reproduce this issue on my own headset either

[little plume]

how can i make one of those 2d avatars that makes the top half of the head move when it talks?

[balmy barn]

many ways, here is one using a bone weightpainted to top of head and use voice parameter to trigger movement depending on how loud it is

[little plume]

?

you didnt send anything lol

but do you know a video tutorial

i want the top half of their head to flop around like Terance and Philip from south park

[surreal salmon]

Is there a way to make mesh stop rendering upon contact with the other players head?

[ruby summit]

@balmy barn im still waiting if u can help me w this

because for some reason her eyes drift

[faint dock]

any shader wizards on? thry's tool is taking an 85kb gif and making it into a freaking 250mb texture array and i got no clue why

[foggy tiger]

Is gesture manager not updated for SDK 3.9.0? it downgraded my sdk when I added gesture manager

[balmy barn]

rare i use gm , but its behaving

[foggy tiger]

I didn't wanna update and have it not work

So I jsut wanted to check first

[opaque thicket]

how can i scale up an avi in unity?

[foggy tiger]

How do I make a unity project upload to an already existing avi

Because I need to upload teh quest version of this avatar

But it needs to be 2 seperate projects

I can't just duplicate it since the quest version is in a different unity package that overwrites the unity scene when I import it which removes the vrchat sdk settings like my login status and avatar id

[foggy tiger]

Actually can I just change the GUID to be different so that the pc Scene doesn't get overwritten

Because the pc and quest scene are the same exact object or something is what it was sying

That the GUID is the same

I renamed the PC version .unity file, but it originally was the same exact file name as with the quest one

[balmy barn]

is there a reason you dont just switch build

[foggy tiger]

I need the model already made for quest because I'm not manually making everything on here quest compatible

[balmy barn]

just duplicate avatar and put quests shaders/stuff on that one instead

no need for 2 projects or whatever you are doing

[foggy tiger]

There's already a quest package tho

But I can't import that into this project without it overwriting the SDK settings

This avatar has like almost 30 assets and like nearly 40 textures

I'm not sitting here for 3-5 hours doing stuff that has already been done

I don't think that's unreasonable

[somber meadow]

Why do you need to have it in the same project

[foggy tiger]

I don't

I just need to have it be part of the same avatar in the vrchat sdk

[somber meadow]

Copy the ID in the SDK’s content manager tab, and paste it in the avatar’s pipeline manager component located next to the avatar descriptor and click attach

[bright edge]

How to add skins to vrchat mobile WITHOUT PC?

[dusk haven]

how do the clothes work? if i buy them and get them uploaded can i use them on any avi or do i have to get the clothes added to the avi i want?

[bright edge]

Also NO Avatar worlds pls

[dusk haven]

i want a cowboy hat for my puppy boy avi

[foggy tiger]

Thank you

That worked

I really need to figure out how to use google better because I genuinely couldn't find that anywhere

[somber sequoia]

you need a computer of some sort (windows, linux, macos) to create and upload avatars.

[foggy tiger]

Thanks @somber meadow

[unreal juniper]

Anyone have any good resources/tutorials on kitbashing? 🤔 Gonna try to stitch these together but I have no idea how to make menus/texture blending/parameters/etc work once the meshes are combined

(stuck clothes on rq, cause the model is SFW but this server flags that sometimes anyway)

It's Ghostly's Feline head on Darbi's Kiggy body

[waxen iris]

Is there an easy way to transfer animations and effects from an avatar to a different one? Bc I bought an Avatar and got approval, just I have not a single clue how im going to do that

[junior void]

You can just ctrl c the animations and paste them into another project without a problem. The issue is the paths of what they animate will likely need to be corrected plus youll have to add/copy the animation layers as well as to make the logic work and that can get complicated if you have a bunch of custom animator layers already that you need to add to

[waxen iris]

i mean ig
just uh, animations n stuff are COMPLETELY new terrain for me. I have no idea what to copy from where to what ^^,

he said everything is merged with the root of the avatar so it should be easy
but yeah still no idea about anything regarding that

[junior void]

Fair enough. Im not at my pc so im kinda limited here. Is that stuff set up via vrcfury by chance?

[waxen iris]

ahhhhhh lemme check

couldnt find any traces of vrcfury
all i could provide is this
if that is even helpful in the slightest

[junior void]

Dang. This is not just animations. Its constraints, contacts, the whole thing. Could you copy it? Yes but youd also need to make sure the system is adjusted to fit the new avatar.

If it was set up with vrcfury, it wouldve been way easier

[waxen iris]

i mean i suppose i would "somehow" be able to adjust it, just transferring it and making sure they are on the avatar with the toggles is the problem ^^,

But I guess thats Starkim for you, no VRCfury xd

[junior void]

You could make it a prefab first for easy copy. But youll also have to find out which animations are needed for this and what playable layers (likely just fx tho)

[waxen iris]

oh boy
ig il see what i can do and what not

prob also gonna try to harass ChatGPT

[proven quail]

theres an easy way to do this. Just put everything you need in a prefab, create a new scene with the prefab, and then export the new scene. Unity will automatically find all the dependents of the scene in assets and include them in the exported unity package. This assumes that all the fx logic and animations are attached to the gimmicks and effects themselves and not the avatar's main FX.

[unreal oracle]

Apparently this isn't a thumbnail?

What do I do to fix it?

Should I just restart my computer?

[somber meadow]

is a png format?

[unreal oracle]

Yea

[proven quail]

if they are attached to your avatar's main fx, we can still do this using 3.0 manager to merge FXs and such. you would ctrl + d on your FX and delete everything not related to the gimmick or effect, and then manually add that fx into the unitypackage on export.

[unreal oracle]

I have no idea why it's saying that

[proven quail]

when importing, you would simply use 3.0 manager to merge the new avatar's FX with the Gimmick FX

[proven quail]

try uploading again

[unreal oracle]

I did it 3 times and same error

With 3 different pictures

Including one in scene

[proven quail]

ok thats weird

[unreal oracle]

Yea

Ima restart my computer and if that doesn't work

[proven quail]

try putting it in the scene on a plane object and use 'Capture In Scene'

[unreal oracle]

I have no idea

[ember blade]

The angle between the pelvic and thigh bones are 90 and not 180.

???

[surreal salmon]

i usually just ignore that

[ember blade]

oh ok good

[waxen iris]

i swear my brain just cracked in the middle when i read that
il "try" to follow ur instructions xD

[proven quail]

ok so say i have these gimmick stuff on my avatar, and I want to export them.

[waxen iris]

ye

[proven quail]

I ctrl + d on my avi, and it makes a copy

[somber sequoia]

it'd be easier if the two avatars were in the same project.

[proven quail]

now, i grab the gimmick stuff and move it out of the avatar

[waxen iris]

ye done that
made em a prefab

[somber sequoia]

yup, prefab it.

[proven quail]

ok, now create a new scene

[waxen iris]

got the scene with my new avi
does that work too?
or a completely new one

[proven quail]

a completely new scene

empty scene

drag the prefab in there

[waxen iris]

mhm

[proven quail]

now, we need to identify all the fx stuff the gimmicks need

lets go back to the main avi, and look in that fx

[unreal oracle]

I'm so confused, I litterally logged in and out

To build this

And it still doesn't work

Because of a thumbnail that is there

[waxen iris]

alr opened them

[proven quail]

we want to find any layers that look like they are related to the gimmick

click on the fx in the assets folder, and ctrl + d to duplicate it. we are going to edit the duplicated fx to only have the gimmick layers

so on the DUPLICATE (make sure you are on the duplicated fx) delete any layers that have nothing to do with the gimmick or effects

[waxen iris]

that is gonna be fun

might take a lil

[proven quail]

there might be more than 1 gimmick layer so pay attention to the names of each layer

[waxen iris]

k i "think" this is everything i need for the gimmick

[proven quail]

cool, now we get to delete unused params!

so this one is easy, because when you go to delete a parameter that is in use, it will give you a warning

so try deleting all the parameters, and if it gives you the warning, don't delete that parameter

[waxen iris]

alr

[waxen iris]

ok got rid of quite a few

[proven quail]

alright, so now we need to add this fx to our new scene

create an empty object and give it an animator

make the controller the new fx we just did all that deleting on

[waxen iris]

mhm

[proven quail]

now save ur new scene, and then all we need to do is click on it in the assets and click export unitypackage

[waxen iris]

i think i made a lil oopsie

[proven quail]

its in the top bar assets > Export package

whats up

[waxen iris]

i made all that while being in the scene of the avatar ;-;

[proven quail]

just make a new scene, thats fine. as long as we modified the duplicated fx and not the main one, no permanent damage

[waxen iris]

phew

ok

[proven quail]

so I just saved as my scene as gimmick export, so it put it in the assets folder

so click on the scene in assets, and then go to the top bar and click assets > export package

you should get this window with stuff in it (yours should have more things, mine is mostly empty because my gimmicks are fake and have nothing in them)

[waxen iris]

yee

[proven quail]

make sure include dependancies is on, and then export the package

[waxen iris]

did

[proven quail]

now you can import this package in any project to add the gimmick to whatever avatar

so lets go to the new avatar's project and import the gimmick package

theres a couple of things we need to do to make sure its going to work

[waxen iris]

well
i have everything in 1 unity project rn
does that work aswell?

[proven quail]

yeah. that just means we didnt have to make a package, but now you can have it for more than one project

[waxen iris]

^^,

[proven quail]

so make sure avatar 3.0 manager is added to your project in creator companion

if it isn't, just add it

[waxen iris]

should be standard ngl
but ye i have it

[proven quail]

at the top bar, go to VRLabs > 3.0 manager and add the new avatar in the window there

[waxen iris]

yus

[proven quail]

then click the drop down for fx and add a controller to merge

[waxen iris]

yee

[proven quail]

make sure none of the added params have a suffix, those boxes should be blank

merge on current or on copy, doesnt matter

[waxen iris]

kk

[unreal oracle]

Is there an issue rn with models or something because

[waxen iris]

as of now everything looks fine

[unreal oracle]

This thumbnail is she

Issue*

Is not going away

[proven quail]

now, you drag the prefab into the scene with the new avi, and drag all those gimmick stuff and put it inside the avatar

[unreal oracle]

Even by completely redoing the base

[waxen iris]

oh oops wrong person to reply ^^,

[waxen iris]

yep

[unreal oracle]

Your good

Just extremely frustrated

Due to the fact nothing is working

[proven quail]

now something I forgor to do was extract params list and the menus for the gimmick. but its in the same project so we can just do that now

[waxen iris]

mhm

[proven quail]

we go to the first avatar, and look at the params list. and ctrl + d the param list

then do the same thing as the fx, delete params that arn't used. But this time we wont get an error, so use the fx params list to match up what param list parameters are needed

[bright edge]

Damn, I don't have a PC sadly smh

[proven quail]

my siblings got home, so im going to be in and out from my computer helping you and getting them ready for a school function, sorry if replies slow

[waxen iris]

ur fine
ur more help than i could have imagined already ^^

[proven quail]

but anyways once you have the duplicated param list all cleaned up and just gimmick params, we are going to use 3.0 manager to merge the gimmick params list onto the new avatar

[waxen iris]

and then it should be pretty much done right?
at least with other prefabs it pretty much like that

[proven quail]

again NO SUFFIX not even 0

[waxen iris]

ye

[proven quail]

well we need to add the menu, but almost doen

[waxen iris]

true

[proven quail]

go to the first avatar's menu and find the menu that holds all the gimmick options

then, we go to the 2nd avatar's menu, and add a submenu that links to that same menu

[waxen iris]

got it

[proven quail]

so now the gimmick should work, if it doesn't we have to scrub in and modify the gimmick to work with the new armature

basically test the new avi and see if the gimmick is functional

[waxen iris]

alr imma test it with gesture manager rq

im praying rn

[proven quail]

usually fixing a gimmick is like, assigning the right bones to constraints, or like fixing the pathing on animations

not too complicated

or moving elements to fit the new avi, like put things in the hands or whatnot

[waxen iris]

nothing is happening at all :,)

[proven quail]

ok, lets look at the stuff

first, make sure you didn't leave all the gimmick stuff under the prefab object, because that will break animations

[waxen iris]

THAT might be the problem xD

[obsidian harbor]

hey

im SMGA

[waxen iris]

testing now again

🎉

[proven quail]

epic

[waxen iris]

sounds are missing but those arent a problem

[proven quail]

i love not scrubbing in and fixing stuff

[waxen iris]

xd

but ayy i learned something new today

[proven quail]

so check any audio components on the new avi, and see if they are missing the audio source

you can check the old avi and see what the source is supposed to be, and then assign it to the new avi

[waxen iris]

nono dw
the i deleted the music and voicelines bc they didnt fit to my avi at all

il add em manualy

[proven quail]

I see

now that unity package we made wont work because I forgor important steps like the menu and params list

[waxen iris]

dw
only need it for this one avatar lol

[proven quail]

but if you make a new unity package that also exports the duplicated param list and menu, then ur package will work

[waxen iris]

yee

but hey you were really great help
i thank you a lot

Great Unity Wizard

[surreal salmon]

my pov on this model stays too far in fron, cant get it to move back, any solution?

yes i moved it in unity it just goes back to where it was before

[uneven bough]

how do i make my avatar's particles keep their look regardless of the lighting of the world? in most worlds i join they lose their smoothness and normal map even when the world is lit up

[obtuse bronze]

What do I do for this?

[queen reef]

guys, how do i make the eyes not red?? no matter what i do, i cant figure it out T^T

[surreal salmon]

did u drag the material that says eyes base color onto the eyes

[queen reef]

yup

its just red. the texture works on other parts of the model, just not the part its meant to be on TwT

[somber sequoia]

or open up that "materials" tab in the inspector in the image you have shown there, and you can find the eye material slot, it's often easier to drag stuff into that.

[queen reef]

everything looks right i think, it just wont stop being red whenever i put it on the eyes

[somber sequoia]

which shader? It might be taking vertex colors into account

[surreal salmon]

sometimes eyes have 2 parts, the lese and the innner eye

[somber sequoia]

oh that too

(I hate that)

[surreal salmon]

if this is the case and ur trying to make it work for quest just delete the lense

[queen reef]

how would i go about deleting the lens ?

[queen reef]

and i think i have the shader set to standard

[surreal salmon]

if ur goin for quest id reccomend standard lite

you will need to import the fbx to blender

to check there

[queen reef]

idek how to do that TwT

[uneven bough]

any help?

[somber sequoia]

probably use a shader which doesn't react to world lighting

[surreal salmon]

right click and select show in explorer, then copy the file location

[uneven bough]

do u know one i can use?

[surreal salmon]

then in blender select file, then import then fbx and paste the file location in blender before importing the selected file

[queen reef]

alright, its in blender now. is it supposed to have all those spikes coming out of it ??

[surreal salmon]

thats armature, the bones used to controle the model

select the main body and click where it says object mode and switch to edit mode

[queen reef]

alright, in edit mode now

[surreal salmon]

hold shift and select a few of those dots, while they are orange let go of ur buttons before entering the keybing "p" then select "by loose parts"

this will seperate all the different objects used to make the model

[somber sequoia]

beware that may be a LOT of objects

[surreal salmon]

yes so close unnessisarry programs

[somber sequoia]

er.. okay?

[queen reef]

alright, i did all that. i dont think ive screwed up yet

[surreal salmon]

try taking a look at the eyes

click on em an right click

an hit dlete

if theres a lense then u will still see a eye beneath

or u can hit g to move it around

[queen reef]

i cant select the eyes

nothing happens when i click them

[surreal salmon]

oh yea u gotta switch back to object mode

same way as u did to edit mode

[queen reef]

alrighty, i deleted the lenses. now i just save it and bring it back into unity ?

[surreal salmon]

yea but first lets rejoin evrything

hit a to select all

then select then shift left click the main body

after that keybind cntrl + j

its not a necessarry step but it simplifies some stuff

[queen reef]

i think i did that right, nothing popped up or changed visually though

[surreal salmon]

yea now were gonna select everything again and start exporting

A keybind to select all

"file" -"export" - "fbx"

then paste your link back into the top an select the fbx to export back to unity

before you export make sure u turned off the following
