so i have these bags aroudn the waist of my coat mesh that i need to be entirely red in weight paint, but no matter how much i try they can never be fully red
it is really annoying
somber sequoia
Weight painting is relative, so if you can't get something all the way to a weight of 1, it might be weighted to some other bone also. I usually turn on auto-normalize so this is much more obvious.

its saying use viemes for each of them not both?
balmy barn
you can always tell something else to mimic the other one, jaw bone usually bad
somber sequoia
ah - you can only use visemes on one mesh object.
solemn heart
somber sequoia
So, you could join those, or instead just use the animator parameter and do an animation layer for the visemes.
balmy barn

somber sequoia
if you tell me what part you didn't understand, perhaps I could try to clarify that
primal swift
^ putting it on the armature didn't work, anyone else have tips? ^
somber sequoia
you use the Viseme parameter in the animator to select which animation is running, it's the same idea for the usual hand gesture thing
then of course you need an animation for each viseme too

exotic steppe
so ive been trying to work out how to make this cloak not look awful with weight paint but i cant figure out how to make it look semi presentable
whenever i attempt to make a weight paint for the arms (no shoulder groups for some reason, even though they are present on the armature) the decals on the front and back looks awful, everything becomes a clippy mess, and when i try to blend the weight paint no matter what i do it just seems like the weight paint goes from 0 to 100.
it just seems like i cant get the hang of weight paints or somethigns is really wrong with my mesh
any help would be greatly appreaciated
somber sequoia
re: 0-100, weights are relative. So if you want to weight something at 0.2 to one bone, it's automatically 1 unless it's also weighted to another bone.
For some clothing, often you can start with it weighted at 1 to the hips bone, then with auto-normalization on, paint it to the bone you want it to move with.
exotic steppe
I’m not sure that the issue is the weight paint, I don’t really know if the amount of faces on a mesh influencer how it bends but the cloak part of the mesh has very few faces
Granted I know very little about this whole subject but it seems that the wight paint snaps into places instead of being applied smoothly
And the cloak seems to snap at pre-determined angles
somber sequoia
Weight applies to vertices
if you have large spaces between them, well...
You may need to retopologize in order to get things to move how you want. Especially if it's mesh you made yourself - you often don't know how it'll move until you go try to move it, and end up reworking the mesh topology to allow it to bend better.
There are some blending tools, and a smoothing bush (which I forget the name of) to help you do that between weight groups

having trouble with my avatar’s eyes they’re always stuck open and none of my gesture / other animations seem to affect them.
Here’s what I’ve checked and tried so far:
• Looked through all the animation clips used in my FX layer none of them seem to touch eye blendshapes or bones.
• Deleted the “Eye L” and “Eye R” (my eyes poking) layers (and their parameters) since in the Debug menu they showed as “Constant: Off.” No change.
• The avatar’s face just stays at the default “eyes open” state no matter what gesture or expression I trigger.
I’m not sure if something in the FX controller is still overriding the eyes, or if it’s a problem with the Eye Look setup or parameters.
Does anyone know what else could cause this? I’d really appreciate ideas on what to check next.
broken vector
uh im having trouble.
everytime i upload avis to quest it always says Windows Security checks failed or something like that.
its been doing this to me for a while now but idk how to fix it. it seems to happen everytime i upload for quest after the pc side is done.
primal swift
aaaa how do i stop my gestures from overlapping
i added a new gesture but it like merges with the last gesture
so i cant even do it
because the other expressions break that one
i thought i just had to add a tag here to the things i dont want to clash but i guess thats not how it works?
somber sequoia
tag?
timber wharf
@primal swift answer highly depends on SAME hand adding more and more gestures or tho hands overlapping
somber sequoia
i dont know
it really helps if you don't clip the image so tight, it's hard to see where that is
primal swift
somber sequoia
oh there, not at all what I was expecting. Yeah that's not a thing VRChat uses.
primal swift
ive been using vrcfury too much i assumed tag was the same as exclusive tag thereeee
okay but how do i make it so they dont overlap though
timber wharf
no. not a single working thing named tag
somber sequoia
okay but how do i make it so they dont overlap though
depends on how your animator is setup, but you could always not allow the second to start if the first's variable is still active
you'd probably need to show some more detail or explain how these are setup
somber sequoia
ah, that's a good video, yeah
primal swift
it only overlaps with one of them though
i had to put it in a different layer because it just would not work no matter what i tried in the same one
timber wharf
bro
thats like makes it completely different🤷♂️
you sould strive for least amount of layers, ie both hands should ideally be on one let alone having two for one hand
primal swift
okay well i cant have it on the same layer
for some reason putting it in a different one fixed it, so im sticking with that
somber sequoia
if you want them to be mutually exclusive, a single layer is kinda ideal
primal swift
dang
somber sequoia
again, without knowing what you have so far, we're just guessing
timber wharf
and you issue is "that not working on one layer", not "i did other layer but now its not exclusive"
primal swift
ok so expressions are like these, these all work fine, theres one for each hand,
somber sequoia
one assumes those anystate transitions all have "can transition to self" unchecked
(if not, do this first)
primal swift
maybe i accidentally did check those off while trying to fix the other gesture
timber wharf
they should be off
primal swift
uh, theyre all unchecked on the right hand, but not the left
i cant remember changing anything here though
somber sequoia
it may not fix this problem, but it'll prevent a bunch of others.
left stream
uhh... is this an SDK bug? "not ... a humanoid rig" nvm lol i changed rig to copy and didn't fill the animator avatar property again
primal swift
the gesture 3 just like doesnt work like the others
it needs an animation when it goes it because its not just 1 blendshape, and it needs the same but reversed on the way out, and that didnt work in the regular gesture layers so i moved it, but now it just gets stuck with other gestures i guess
actually i have an idea now
oh okay im just kind of dumb :D
issue was i had it turn off when gestures were set to 0, instead of just when gesture 3 was off -_-
somber sequoia
idk if you guys really understand my issue here :/
you haven't really provided enough detail for us to see what's happening, so no, we don't
Glad you solved it though! Definitely wouldn't have caught that without actually looking at all of the transition conditions

^still need help on here or reccomendation/ work arounds

it's not clear what is happening here

edit mode is the default pose, object mode is with the current pose. So go into the armature in pose mode, select all, and clear any transforms
surreal salmon
on the main body it uses the antigen which default pose is the A pose
but the hands are from a rexoiut which defult pose is a T pose

you'll want to repose something so those match in the default rest pose

either the ends of the pants arent weightpainted or were possibly weightpainted to a seperate duplicate set of legbones on your armature

so i dont know if those lifelike movements and those specific hand gestures are just baked
junior void
gesture dont go into fx
slow panther
if i make a seperate gesture layer hands are frozen and dont look good
it gives the facial gestures fine
and still does the basic open peace rock and gun
but i want to change what the rock n roll one looks like
anything outside of just blendshapes stops my entire locomotion
so i was wondering if its possible to edit the base locomotion
junior void
what layer is this in anyway
junior void
do you have a gesture layer assigned
slow panther
default
i tried that but it didnt look great
and the hands didnt move slightly
im assuming its just a built in movement feature
junior void
if you dont have a gesture layer, it will use vrchats default hand animations. the range of bone movements can be set in the fbx import settings, however you wont be able to assign a whole new hand shape if you dont use a gesture layer with your own setup
from what i remember you need to set up all hand shapes too, not just the one you want to change. it wont stack with the default ones
slow panther
ah alr i just like the default for all of the other hand gestures and just wanted to change this one
thats so sad
junior void
you can just copy the default ones into your own setup, its really rather easy
slow panther
so like when the hand is open not moving itll still move slightly? i wasnt able to find any of the pose animations
junior void
the idle slight moving is part of the animation that the default uses iirc
i copied the anims to my own setup and deleted the floating motion
slow panther
where would those be? or is it a script
or would i just duplicate my fx, delete everything but the things i need
and then make adjustments
junior void
i can send you a gesture layer file with the general setup if youd like but obviously youd have to add your own hand masks and animations
slow panther
junior void
its been ages since i last looked for the gesture anims in the sdk tho, not sure where they are anymore
slow panther
did it look like this one or similar to mine
junior void
yep
slow panther
this is the oine i tried to set up but no idea where the default is
i appreciate you offering
junior void
it would be some place in packages/sdk/avatars

can someone help me with some particles?
ive set up my avatar with a gun that fires when you pull the trigger, however for some reason the bullet particles disappear after travelling like 5m from my avatar even though their lifetime is much higher than that and they travel at least 10x that distance in Unity.
also the particles seem to be taped to the gun for some reason (ie if i shoot the gun and the bullet travels 2m, then rotate the gun 90*, the bullet is 2m ahead of the barrel rather than 2m to the side of the gun) and i cant find any way to fix it - ive tried with the particle being on the hand bone and being on the gun's bone but i cant figure it out
timber wharf
simulation space World is correct one, wirh it particle should be independent of its parent after emitting. also always set scaling to hierarchy, cause that way it scales with the avatar height.
scenic ether
Using VRC fury armature link to get this FBX to be on my avi, but the scaling is incorrect, it now tracks the avi and moves with physbones but it looks like it's not scaled? Unsure how to fix this

you move the not root objects not the root object itself

ive noticed when people think they are so good at doing something they become egotistical and narcisistic, thinking that people that dont know how to do something are just stupid like they didnt start knowing nothing too, thinking they are better than them and they get snotty. not just in this server but in pretty much any server
not everyones like that but ive noticed it

hey guys trying to make a follower toggle for my avatar. Does anyone know how to stop the follower from trying to match my avatar's elevation? Currently the follower target is attached to my avatar's hip bone
in short im trying to make the follower grounded but still follow my avatar around
radiant night
Add a position constraint to the follower and lock the y axis
exotic steppe
sorry if this is a bit of a dumb question but how would i go about doing this?
i tried doind this but its not doign anything
somber sequoia
Use the VRC position constraint instead
(not saying just doing that will make it magically work, just that those are more efficient)
exotic steppe
also should i be settign the position constraint for the follower or the follower target?
this is under follower please tell me if im doing anything wrong here?

(Please ping for a fast reply.) so I have a super big question. I want to buy a Avi, however I don’t know how to upload. And I want to have a few things tweaked. Just the songs that it plays nothing about the avi itself would anyone know how to do that? Or know one that can possibly help?
She has electric guitars and a boombox that you can apparently play with. However, the songs that are on there are not my type of songs and I was wondering if I could get them to be tweaked to my music

there is no black on it
so why is black artifacting in

I'm using a program I found called Virtual Motion Capture, although I don't know if this will work. I need some help setting up eye tracking, all I can find on google is videos of people doing it with their webcam (not what I'm looking for) and tutorials for other things that aren't entirely related.

I have never done this so I don't know if it'll work or not but having the weight at .002 means this constraint is barely going to do anything at all, you probably want that at 1
exotic steppe
well what ive noticed is that setting the weight of the PARENT constraint affected the follower
somber sequoia
of course
exotic steppe
however attempting to freeze the y value of the parent constraint only meant that the follower would lock onto the follower target without any animations
what i wanted was to anchor the follower to the floor
so that when my avatar jumps or crouches, the follower doesnt fly or sink into the floor

Yep, I read the problem description earlier. Was just pointing out a thing I thought was off.

drop it onto the target bone, or use a parent constraint
oh blender
rig it
give it an armature modifier and weight paint it to the bone in question
left stream
huh is there no way to just like meld the vertices together or something
i am new to blender so im not sure if thats a stupid question lol
somber sequoia
meld it to what though? You could merge the object with the body but you'll still have to weight paint it
left stream
to the body yeah
somber sequoia
if it's a permanent part of the body that's probably ideal - just merge the new mesh object to the existing body object and weight paint the new part to move right
left stream
i'm not planning on removing it so i guess time to figure out weight painting
somber sequoia
(you don't technically have to merge it but for efficiency purposes you should)
yep! In this case though it's probably real easy - all those vertices are going to move with the head bone, rigidly, so a weight of 1 for the head bone is probably perfect.
if they flex...... yeah then it gets fun
left stream
(you don't technically have to merge it but for efficiency purposes you should)
yeah right now before i import into unity, i pack uvs and merge all the meshes and materials so i only have one skinned mesh renderer
all this for good perf rank lol
somber sequoia
Oh good, that's what I do also.
Most of my avatars have each clothing item a separate mesh object, and various body things like eyes, hair separate also.
tulip delta
What would be a good equivelent shader for android that keeps the transparency?
left stream
Oh good, that's what I do also.
is there some more efficient way of doing it? what i do is probably inefficient as hell
when i'm done editing the unpacked one, i make a copy and group the meshes together by joining them (e.g. body by itself, fishnets and collar joined, shorts and socks joined)
then i pack the uvs of each mesh, and then join them all into one and export fbx
so i only have 4 materials instead of 12
somber sequoia
That's about what I do, but I usually have the UVs all setup already.
left stream
ahh okay
somber sequoia
usually just two objects: body, clothing. usually only two materials for that, but sometimes one more for clothing, depends what I've done this time
somber sequoia
What would be a good equivelent shader for android that keeps the transparency?
There isn't one, you don't get true alpha transparency on mobile platforms. Best you can do is maybe make it work with the particle shaders, but I can't speak to that personally.
left stream
yep! In this case though it's probably *real* easy - all those vertices are goi...
oh i think i did it? i just assigned the vertices of the antlers to the 'Head' vertex group
and now its all red, im assuming thats 1 and blue is 0
somber sequoia
Don't assume the color matches directly with the numbers unless they've been normalized, but yeah, that looks about right to me!
This is a good way of doing it also, no need to actually paint if you just have to set the values to 100% to one bone
somber sequoia
very nice

does "set inverse" in the armature constraint work?
somber sequoia
probably it doesn't - weights are in the vertex groups, it won't remove groups. But you may need to rename groups on the new mesh to match the main armature
surreal salmon
so do i just rename the armature?

the name of the armature is not relevant
the names of the bones are - they match the vertex group names on an attached mesh

radiant night

surreal salmon
but idk what to do with the armature modifeir
radiant night
ok
surreal salmon
radiant night
Is that the right armature? make sure its set to the one you want to use
somber sequoia
unfortunately showing pics of weight painting doesn't really provide much info.
Or an armature modifier with no clue if that's the right armature or not. We'll assume that you've verified it is.
surreal salmon
i joined the hand armature to the main body
somber sequoia
yeah I'd not have joined those
radiant night
Make sure to parent the new hand bone to the old arm bone
somber sequoia
unless there are new bones there's no reason to
surreal salmon
kitbashing
somber sequoia
and for a hand I don't see why there would be new bones
surreal salmon
new hand old body
somber sequoia
did the old body not have a hand?
surreal salmon
did but wanted a different hand
somber sequoia
ok so did you remove the old hand bones or something?
surreal salmon
yea
somber sequoia
okay
surreal salmon
same for head but ye
somber sequoia
so yeah make sure the new hand bone's parent is the lower arm bone
surreal salmon
i cant do that without joining armature
an once i do the vertex groups stop working on the hand
somber sequoia
So what I do here is I strip the new armature down to only the new bones I need, nothing else. Probably you're having the groups get renamed because there are name clashes
interestingly, I did this like 5x yesterday
You'd really have to figure out what "stop working" means
somber sequoia
yep

well you'd have to get/make animations then build a base locomotion controller. I think there's a sample one in the SDK examples somewhere, but I'm not entirely sure where.

if i wanted these lip piercings to move with my face tracking would i just join it to the head mesh?

not offhand, I haven't looked up any in a few years

You'll probably need to update each one of the FT blendshapes so the piercings move properly

I cant find a video that explain what I need to do well im extremely new to unity and ive been adding props to premade avatars and I cant seem to figure out how to make the fingers lock in certain positions when I activate a toggle can anyone help me
somber sequoia

you have to animate the fingers, in the gesture layer
maybe this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOGc8CetyXs
yeah that looks good
viscid garnet
I tried that the main thing in struggling with is locking the toggle to the bool variable for it to trigger the fingers freezing
Because I set the bool variable but I hav enough idea how to actually set it to the toggle and the video didn't explain that oart caus that's the one I watched
somber sequoia
not sure I understand where you're stuck, but this video seems to cover that
viscid garnet
So in the video when you add the bool variable for the animation you have to tie it to the oaraneter of said prop
I don't know how to tie it to the prop
somber sequoia
I'm not sure what you mean by that?
viscid garnet
I have the animation set up and the toggle works fine and I have everything connected as far as I know but in the video the prop is already there as far as I know
somber sequoia
a variable enables the prop, right? Use the same one to run the hand animation too
viscid garnet
I did not make the avatar or the prop so I woudl not know what to look for or how to do that
And there's no variable in the animator for the prop
Howvere now that im saying taht I do have an idea for finding smth
somber sequoia
ahh, there must be some toggle in the menu, that will change a variable of some kind.
viscid garnet
How can I view and edit the action menu in unity i haven't had to access that with what ive done so far
somber sequoia
find the menu file, then look in the inspector
versed marsh
where can i disable backface culling on poiyomi?
I need to disable it for my body material for stream safety
somber sequoia
bottom, under the Rendering section
note that this basically halves render performance
versed marsh
wait why would it reduce performance if less is being rendered lol
what would i select here to make it not appear? it already says off but skin is still shown
would i need to change this in blender instead?
somber sequoia
disabling backface culling means it will render the front and back side, which is double the work
I'm not sure what you're trying to do here I guess
viscid garnet
Ok so before I go and do everything I found teh animator for the toggle if I create a transition without removing the exit state to my custom animation will that work for what im trying to do
Because I could find the menu file

You just can't remove exit state because it isn't an actual state. And I'm not sure why you mention about menu file because your first message has nothing to do with menu file.
viscid garnet
That's what the other guy said
ornate stump
That's what the other guy said
What do you currently have so far?
viscid garnet
All ive truly figured out is just having the animator set up so far
I have zero idea what im doing
I just got unity so I could just start uploading avatars I got
And taht was literally a few days ago
ornate stump
I have zero idea what im doing
Think menu and animator are 2 completely separated things.
Menu's job is only for changing parameters. And animator job's is playing animation based on those parameters. So what connected those two are the parameters.
viscid garnet
Would you be able to help me with the process of just locking my fingers when I have teh toggle on
ornate stump

Ask specific question. I can't give you step-by-step guide.
viscid garnet
Ok so how do I tie the toggle to an animation
Like
Idrk what to ask specifically
ornate stump
Ok so how do I tie the toggle to an animation
You know that when a toggle is on, the parameter for that toggle must be on as well. So you have to use that parameter as condition to control another animation.
viscid garnet
And how would I go about doing that exact thing
ornate stump

For hands, you have to look in gesture layer. There are "HandLayer" animator controller from the sdk sample asset. Take a look as example how it's setup.
viscid garnet
Yeah I have familiarized myself the the whole gesture thing because I actually got a half decent ways through the video tahy was sent ealier
There are just some things I could quite familiarize myslef because its not a super in depth video because its made in mind for if you have a half decent experience in unity
austere dome
A question. I'm currently having an issue with non-humanoid style hands (as they are the hands of a robot). I've managed to get everything working with the claws, the animations work fine. However, I'm unable to rotate the hands like I'd want to in the FX layer. I use VRCFury but I'm currently not using it for this. The animator claims it plays yet the hands do not rotate. How should I override the rotation of the hands within an animator?
If I must, additive animation will suffice. I must rotate the hands is the context.
The animation preview of the clip functions just fine.
The layer has no animation mask, but I suspect it is related to the IK overriding it.
timber wharf
@austere dome is it humanoid after all, just weird?
cause fx cannot affect humanoid bones, we have other 4 layers for that

I have a question about the avatar's default hand positions - does applying a hand position to the IDLE layer make that hand position always work ?
austere dome
<@793023444777959424> is it humanoid after all, just weird?
The hand itself is humanoid, right. The fingers aren't registered due to being excessively odd.
I attempted to do this in Gestures, but it did not seem to work there, either.
Should I send it to additive, perhaps?
timber wharf
if your goal to rotate next bone after fingers
austere dome
The context is that the hands idly spin from time to time, as do Chibi Robo's hands.
timber wharf

Right, I was actually thinking of doing this, simple an empty holderbone with the hands parented to it, and the fingers parented to the 'hand' child.
Appreciated! I'll do this tomorrow though because 9 hours on an avatar is rough, lmao.

if youre having the problem i think you are, you need to replace the source fbx ...
I fixed the problem IG but im trying something different. Instead of using the already made unitypackage im just throwing in the fbx with a avidescriptor and everything is going well except for this issue for some reason? I already have the blueprint cleared so it isnt that.
timid fog
Let me check rq
this is it
When im adding a vrcdescriptor to an fbx is there any extra steps i might be missing?
if it helps i also used VRCFury for adding the lenses, as it seems like blender messes stuff up idk
is it this perhaps??
junior void
possible yea
timid fog
Is there anyway i can fix this?? I dont know what that means as the chest and everything works perfectly fine
junior void
this means unity failed to auto recognize all bones
go to the fbx in your files, in the inspector, move to "rig" tab
in there, click configure
assign the chest bone in the configuration you see there
timid fog
I see, thanks ill see if that fixes things TYSM in advance
timid fog
assign the chest bone in the configuration you see there

Hello ive been stuck with weightpainting one shirt for like 10 hours no matter what i do it still has sum cliping issues i could usually make shape keys to shrink the base underneath but im making an outfit for somone else's character on booth and the shrink shape keys he has on the avatar dont match my needs so what can i do i was thinking of making copy of the shoulders area of his model and making my own shapekeys and just deliver that with the outfit files but i think that might go against the TOS so idk

A has less deformation on shoulder. T is better for modeling arm. It better in different way.

there we go - 3rd one is the issue
Is this not a humanoid setup? Usually that gets added automatically.
somber sequoia
weird that it has no animator then, huh. You could add that component to the avatar root, but I forget how to get the right avatar in the slot it's got
I don't remember if you drag in the avatar or the model to make that work

I don't have Unity open at the moment to check, but if there aren't panning options in the texture setup, then nope.

I need help remaking astrojacks materials using poiyomi. First image is what I have so far, first video is how the official material works in unreal engine 4, and the 2nd video is one of my friends recreations of it
I currently only have 1 panning layer because I couldn't figure out how to do 2, but I think the official skin uses multiple and uses overlapping parts of green/blue to turn them into blue and orange somehow
Also the space image on the face is only a still image and doesnt have that galaxy skin effect
For the audio reactivity it goes off bass but thats a built in poiyomi feature so it shouldn't be hard to implement
Just realized for the official material clip you can really read it, sorry about that.
frail vessel
okay so im adding a radial slider to my avatars eyes to switch the material but ...
nvm i didnt figure it out lmao
somber sequoia
Are the eyes a separate material though?
somber sequoia
what do you mean "put my avatar's eyes in the renderer"?
somber sequoia
Oh, is this Fury? I have no idea how to use this, but I'm guessing you drag the game object with the eye renderer from your hierarchy into that slot.
somber sequoia
there's a discord for vrcfury

Nobody here can answer that without info. Like an image of an error message, or paste errors from the console log.
