[muted wharf]

welp

[exotic steppe]

hey guys just wanted to ask if this a common thing but my avatar cant seem to interact with other avatars' physics objects or colliders

[somber sequoia]

Only your hands can affect others' physbones.

[exotic steppe]

yeah thats the issue

hands dont seem to be doing anything

[junior void]

You may have interaction turned off in your settings

[somber sequoia]

or the other person does

[exotic steppe]

how would i go about switchign that on?

is that in vrchat or in unity?

[junior void]

Vrchat launch pad

[exotic steppe]

thanks

ill take a look rn

seems i had avatar allowed to interact only set to friends

[still shuttle]

Having an issue with the Uranus head and it's blush not showing up for some reason

I have the material set to "cut out" and am using the provided alpha map

[ornate stump]

You should try Transparent Clipping

[still shuttle]

I did, it stays invisible

[ornate stump]

Adjust Alpha Cutoff also.

[still shuttle]

yeah, stays invisible

[ornate stump]

Does the part actually exist in alpha map?

[still shuttle]

This is what the alpha map looks like. it looks like its supposed to have at least slight blush

[ornate stump]

It's at the bottom? It's barely visible there.

And the part on the right is just nothing.

[still shuttle]

this is what the blush texture itself looks like

[toxic sedge]

Does anyone know of any issues that could cause an avatar to break toggling between seated and standing mode? It's very similar to what would happen if my floor space was not set to the right height, but it isn't that.
Only the new avatar I'm building does it, and none of my older avatars do it. Even if I adjust playspace height so that I'm in the floor, it'll behave the same way and go nowhere near the floor. Seated mode makes it go on tip toes and standing mode has it slightly less on tip toes. It's really annoying because it makes it impossible for me to reach the floor

[reef kraken]

i need to change the mesh of my model but it keeps going invisible and idk what to do

[night ember]

how are you "changing the mesh"

[reef kraken]

i was trying it through the component "skinned mesh renderer"

[night ember]

dont do that

[reef kraken]

how do i do it then?

[night ember]

replace the fbx itself

[reef kraken]

how exactly?

[night ember]

by replacing the fbx itself

[reef kraken]

:/

like through files or?

[night ember]

you take the fbx file itself and LITERALLY replace it

[reef kraken]

okay thank you

[vapid scaffold]

Does anyone know what avatar this is

[night ember]

#1138520828556890214

[toxic sedge]

Changing playable layers fixed one issue: now it properly goes into crouch and prone if the playspace height changes using advanced OVR.
But. It seems that the toggle between seated and standing mode is the real issue. It is only changing eye viewing height by a couple inches, whereas other avatars change eye viewing height by significantly more.
I'm struggling to find anything on Google about how that's configured though

[reef kraken]

@night ember didnt work

looks the same as what i tried

[night ember]

you didnt export it from blender properly

[reef kraken]

its a fbx??

[night ember]

good for you?

you need to export it with fbx all

[reef kraken]

okay ill try it again

[reef kraken]

ohh

okie

now my body is like this somehow

[night ember]

did you apply the transforms

[reef kraken]

this? then yes

[night ember]

thats not applying the transforms

[reef kraken]

oh

then where?

[reef kraken]

all transforms?

[night ember]

ye

theres no difference between applying all at once or seperately

tho I should ask

[reef kraken]

now just export and replace it again?

yeah?

[night ember]

did you unpack the avatar at all

[reef kraken]

its all setup in unity already if thats what you mean

oh wait do you mean

[night ember]

is this a prefab that you dragged in or the fbx

[reef kraken]

this is the prefab

[night ember]

so its not packed to the fbx

[reef kraken]

and whatever you are talking about has gone over my head

[night ember]

so

you got the fbx right?

you can usually drag that into the scene

but if you take whever is in scene and drag it into the folder it creates a prefab

which is now its own thing

effectively the same as unpacking it

in which case makes it so you require IDENTICAL armatures and export settings for it to not break

[reef kraken]

so what should i do then?

the armatures are the same as i needed to edit blendshapes

[somber sequoia]

you should not unpack. You should export with the same settings as previously used - if you don't know for sure, just set "apply scalings" to FBX All.

[reef kraken]

okie i have done that

when i put the fbx into the scene it is standing correctly but not my avatar (replaced fbx)

[somber sequoia]

did you drag this left avatar into the scene anew, or are you replacing one already there?

[night ember]

replacing the already existing fbx in files but its a prefab varient that was dragged in initially cause deira

[somber sequoia]

Ok so drag in a new one and verify it's correct

[reef kraken]

the new fbx?

its the pink one

im very slow with unity

[somber sequoia]

oh, good, then it's correct. Probably the old one has a been moved or rotated or something, take a look at the root object's "transform" component, see if there's the blue indicator that the values have been changed. Right click -> reset if so

[reef kraken]

its set as -89.98 but doesnt move on editing it

only way i can move it is by moving the armature

[somber sequoia]

but is there a blue indicator?

[reef kraken]

no

[somber sequoia]

hmm maybe in the import settings. If not you can always just use the new one and use pumkin's tools to copy stuff over

Might be good to verify that you have Z up and +Y going into the screen in Blender.

[reef kraken]

true but im trying to avoid that because last time vrcfury didnt copy

[somber sequoia]

don't know anything about copying fury components

[somber sequoia]

not where you check that

[reef kraken]

its blender on the export screen

[somber sequoia]

Yes, I know what it is, I see it often.

[reef kraken]

ah okie

but what do you mean Z up and +Y going into the screen?

[somber sequoia]

I mean look at your scene and make sure that your avatar is standing on the floor, with +Z going up and +Y going into the screen.

this is not a setting, it's the orientation of your avatar itself.

[reef kraken]

+Y is going out the back of the avatar and Z is going up

[somber sequoia]

Good. And you have applied all transforms? The scale is 1 and rotation is 0, for all objects?

[reef kraken]

pretty sure

this right?

[somber sequoia]

That.

[reef kraken]

then yes

could this be why?

[somber sequoia]

click "configure" to see what's going on there, but yeah, that's a problem. Guessing you have multiple armatures here?

[reef kraken]

i exported it with another object

this would be it wouldnt it

(as well)

its still floating

but one of the reimports of the fbx did change it to this now

[somber sequoia]

hey that's an improvement

[somber sequoia]

yeah these seem entirely wrong

[reef kraken]

yeah i fixed them but it didnt change anything else

at least for in unity

any idea of this?

[somber sequoia]

whatever the defaults were are fine, except for "add leaf bones" - generally turn that off

[reef kraken]

so now the fbx seems to be all connect but now the ears, head, and body are all floating as all the other stuff ive added is still in its original position

and the armature is also in its orignal position too

its just the meshes somehow

[burnt agate]

Is this a prefab with an unpacked fbx?

[night ember]

scroll up

[burnt agate]

I saw the gameobject I can't tell

[reef kraken]

im not sure im slow with unity

or the more advanced parts of unity

[night ember]

there was an entire chat about it

[burnt agate]

Ill look deeper

oh ok unpacked

[night ember]

via it being a prefab varient

[burnt agate]

maybe apply mesh transforms in blender but not guranteed, still worth a short
(should do if the mesh isnt at 0,0,0 in blender)

[reef kraken]

huh?

im not a blender person

[night ember]

that was already done if you scroll up

fbx all and apply transforms

[burnt agate]

and judging by the previous comments
having apply transforms off had just the body rotated

[umbral sapphire]

My avatar idle animation is meant to make the avatar move side to side in game. I'm wondering why it looks like it's sliding but in place.

[night ember]

you uh cant do that

[umbral sapphire]

oh :x so is that only made for emotes?

[night ember]

yes

you cant exactly keep tracking AND have it not track

[umbral sapphire]

oh okay, well it doesn't look too shabby it's just more "floaty"

thank you for the help ❤️

[round quiver]

unity is telling me that my avatar has to be t-posed for it to be uploaded but when I go into rig and force T-pose and apply it just reverts the second I get out of rig mode?

[night ember]

reverts where

[round quiver]

like it just un T-poses and gives me the error again

[somber sequoia]

which error exactly?

[somber sequoia]

that's only in the rig setup though right?

[round quiver]

yuh

but it wont let the avatar upload unless I fix it

[somber sequoia]

That's the error I'm wondering about, can you show that?

[round quiver]

kk give me one sec

[somber sequoia]

yeah that's not complaining about not being in T-pose

look in the rig setup tab for errors. If there aren't any, click "configure" and show us that

[somber sequoia]

Open that "import messages" dropdown

(as it says to do)

[round quiver]

what does this mean?

[night ember]

it being not in tpose doesnt make it not humanoid

[round quiver]

oh sorry it was just complaining about it so I thought that was what it is 😭

[night ember]

its complaining that its not humanoid not that its not tposed

[somber sequoia]

It means you have vertices with no bone weight, i.e. not weight painted, so they'll be assigned to the hip bone. Might be fine, you'd have to see if something sticks out.

[round quiver]

ooooo

whenever I set the head to the armuter in blender it would give me the bone heat error

[somber sequoia]

oh actually reading closer, that's slightly different than I thought, I glanced 'cause usually I see the unweighted one. But still, same basic effect, it's guessing weights for unweighted vertices.

[round quiver]

I thought i fixed it but I guess not

[grizzled rose]

Hey!

Im making some toggles, specifically with an INT value, and for some reason an anim wont play.

What i mean by this is that this anim is a few seconds long, and its staying stuck on one frame and not moving. Any help is appreciated!

[night ember]

dont know how you set it up

[grizzled rose]

Last one is the one with the anim.

[somber sequoia]

Rule #10, don't advertise here.

[somber sequoia]

these are anystate transforms - uncheck "can transition to self" for all of them

you are what-ing?

oh you replied to the wrong message

[grizzled rose]

Aha!! that worked!! tysm

[bold zodiac]

Good day here I'm looking for an avatar creator to help me model my Avis.
Note: You must provide samples of avatars you've made from scratch with excellent performance. Provide images of each within the software they were modeled in along with their tri, mesh, mat counts on proper display. That's the requirements.

Do not send me a friend request!!!
Dm me directly.

[night ember]

this is not a commission server

[bold zodiac]

Oh sorry where do I get one

[night ember]

vrctraders

[bold zodiac]

Okie thanks buh I've been trying to join it's not working
Prolly because my account is new cos that's what a friend told me. Do you know any other commission server

[gloomy glen]

so im trying to make my avatar rn and my hands can't interact with anyone's avatar or myself (can't even pick up the arrows I have for my bow on my avi), but people can still interact with my avatar. any clue?

[lone shoal]

how does stuff like gogoloco make the avatar's collider move? i want to add a thing to one of my avatars that basically launches you up into the air and i assume thatd have to use the same system

[night ember]

having that pfp in public servers is also insane

[night ember]

do you actually have the contacts in the avatar descriptor

[night ember]

you cant launch up

[gloomy glen]

where would it be?

[bold zodiac]

Oh I didn't know
Will try to change that. Thanks buddy

[night ember]

the avatar descriptor

[gloomy glen]

like what section in the descriptor

[night ember]

the colliders section

[lone shoal]

ok well how do the other things at least allow you to float in the air

[night ember]

box collider

[lone shoal]

how does that work on quest avatars? usually those get deleted

[night ember]

vrc station

its required so it gets added on uploaded

[gloomy glen]

ok think i found the issue maybe

they were set to custom but I need to reset it back to automatic

[night ember]

you do not

the hand collider specifically is what handles grabbing physbones

[cinder pulsar]

Need some advice on colour matching, any good techniques I can use to get my head and body texture to be the same if not near the colour of my face? It's throwing off my materials

[night ember]

edit the actual texture

[cinder pulsar]

Of course I know that 💀

[night ember]

then color match the texture

[cinder pulsar]

That is what I'm asking for any tips for xd

[night ember]

take both textures and just edit whichever until it matches to the other one

like you can have both textures open in the same project

just overlay them or grab directly from one and put it on the other

[cinder pulsar]

Doesn't exactly work like that, tried that multiple times

[night ember]

that is how it works

[clever portal]

i made a shirt in blender, rigged and everything, but when i try and attach it with vrcfury it doesn't seem to work. what can i be doing wrong?

[night ember]

why didnt you just make it a part of the original fbx

[clever portal]

im trying to learn to make assets

[night ember]

fair

assuming they share an identical armature

[clever portal]

its why the shirts still a lil shitty, i just needed something simple to try it out haha

yep, used the avatars blender file

[night ember]

did you enter playmode or

[clever portal]

i did

and if i just use an asset that normally is enough to figure out if the asset is linked correctly

[night ember]

just have them on 2 different layers and match them

[cinder pulsar]

The matching itself is what I need advice on, I've tried manually adjusting, hue, saturation, lightnes etc and I just can't get it quite right

[night ember]

you need to actually paint and blend

color adjusting only gets you so far

[clever portal]

in photoshop you could just make the image black and white with the levels menu (ctrl+L) and then use it as an overlay for the correct colors

its perfect but normally gets me 90% of the way there

wont work if you need a lot of different colors though, works best for a single color with some shading

[limber oriole]

I dont personally use vrcfurry for clothes stuff but are bones linked? Or have the same name and is it parented ?

[clever portal]

they are linked

it looks like i might have exported the shirt incorrectly, the shirt doesnt respond to me moving around the bones in unity

[limber oriole]

Ah did you export it as an fbx and did you drag it onto your avatar

[limber oriole]

Also try using cats it can help with exporting to avoid future issues

[clever portal]

yep

[clever portal]

cats?

[limber oriole]

Uhh whats the issue?

[hard turtle]

i cant edit any of the stuff ive reimported

and they have these wierd ass plusses now

[limber oriole]

Yes! Free blender plugin

[hard turtle]

cats is insanely useful lol

auto visemes is a god send

[limber oriole]

Idk about the pluses however right click on the avis name and click on unpackage

[hard turtle]

thats not it.

[night ember]

-# if you get it to work

[limber oriole]

Wym if

[hard turtle]

being on the right blender version and all that is a hassle for some lol

[night ember]

theres also the fact that it can be finnicky

it will fight you

[limber oriole]

Not really

[somber sequoia]

there's no reason to use cats for just exporting if you already know what you're doing.

[limber oriole]

Correct

[hard turtle]

i use it for visemes thats it

either way

still looking for a solution on how to remove this stupid collab thing

[somber sequoia]

yeah it's good for that too

[limber oriole]

I use it for convenience mainly and merging amateur and bones

[night ember]

collab thing?

[somber sequoia]

weird plusses?

[hard turtle]

these assets are now all marked as collab assets (i reimported them from my vr chat version of this avatar so i could make a vtuber model) Now i cant edit or see ANY of their properties in the inspector.

its litterally EVERYTHING

[somber sequoia]

huh no idea what that means

[limber oriole]

Thats odd Ngl search it up on a unity focused form or a random reddit post from a year ago

[hard turtle]

already am

just diagnosed it as the collaberation features fault

but still no solution

I cant see its properties in the fucking editor and its driving me insane

[clever portal]

huh, when i apply the armature modifier, it just diapears and doesnt seem to work

[hard turtle]

because your not meant to apply it

[somber sequoia]

It's useful to apply it when you want to set a mesh in the posed position. Otherwise... why would you?

[clever portal]

aaah that makes sense

i dont have that much experiance in blender, i always just apply my modifiers when im done with them lol

[hard turtle]

a few modifiers dont wanna be applied lol

[somber sequoia]

yeah it's like the one modifier that's safe to leave as-is when you export

[night ember]

applying modifiers is literally removing them

[clever portal]

it seems to work now

[clever portal]

well yeah, but for something like a subdivision it does actually do stuff

way better

now i can actually work on stuff that looks good, thanks

[night ember]

modifiers are technically editing the mesh in one way or another
applying applies the edits made
armature being one that edits the position of vertices based on an armature
applying it just applies the edits it made aka the pose

after which the modifier is removed

[clever portal]

makes sense

[sharp wind]

I restarted my pc, I changed the picture and it's still not working

[somber sequoia]

I notice this has come up a lot lately

[night ember]

the image file needs to still exist when uploading

at least the first time

[somber sequoia]

ohh that makes sense

[sharp wind]

it does

[night ember]

and what file type?

[sharp wind]

a screenshot

[night ember]

thats not a file type

[sharp wind]

choosing a picture for creating the avatar works perfectly fine

this problem has never happened before

[night ember]

what file type is it

[somber sequoia]

an image file!

[night ember]

I hope your family has a nice christmas

[somber sequoia]

ooh that's a good one

[night ember]

yes

[sharp wind]

tried jpeg, didn't work

[night ember]

the file type vrchat uses is png

[sharp wind]

that didn't work either

[night ember]

how big is said image

[sharp wind]

860 x 710

[night ember]

reimpor the sdk I guess

[sharp wind]

alr

thanks for trying

[obtuse ruin]

Does anybody have any Novabeast assets? I'm trying to make matching avis with my boyfriend.

[night ember]

look on gumroad or vrcarena

[obtuse ruin]

Umm- where do I find those (Sorry, I'm new)

[night ember]

https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=how+to+google

[undone oracle]

I want to make the cogs turn in the body, whats the best way to do that? Id prefer to keep them one mesh. I can't blenshape it because turning 360 doesn't work. Is adding bones for each the only/best way?

[night ember]

all you got is bones

[obtuse ruin]

Yo I'ma keep that link. Love the joke 💀

[somber sequoia]

bones for sure

[night ember]

just select the entire gear and move cursor to selected
then go to armature and move selection to cursor and itll center to the gear

[somber sequoia]

the 3D cursor is your friend

[night ember]

indeed

[undone oracle]

yea just finished all 22 😆

[buoyant falcon]

I keep running into this issue if anyone is able to help out I'd greatly appreciate it

[somber sequoia]

please use words to tell us what to look for

[night ember]

in order to align the bones you can select one fact of the gear and move the cursor there and then move the end of the bone to cursor so its easier to animate them

[buoyant falcon]

The avatar is a optimized avatar and everytime I try to upload it even though I select a thumbnail and even if I take a capture from the scene itsself it still says theres no thumbnail even though in the video it shows that I add a thumbnail and then it doesnt want to upload. The main version of the avi uploads just fine but when I try to with the Opti it does this. I've never run into this issue before and this hasn't happened with other opti avtars I've made

[foggy star]

would anyone know whats wrong with my avatar upload? its not giving me any errors, it appears on the website but without an avatar thumbnail, and when attempting to switch to it on the website it fails, and doesnt show in game

nevermind i guess, decided to work now

[somber sequoia]

oh the thumbnail problem, yeah it seems to be happening to a bunch of people lately.

[buoyant falcon]

Did you do anything differently for it to upload?

[proud atlas]

Hello anyone can help me and tell me how could i exchange a body of an avatar for another whit out going out of unity? or if thats even possible?

They are literally same model and armatures

[somber sequoia]

import the new one into the scene, use pumkin's tools to copy everything over, delete the old

[proud atlas]

Ok ty! ill comeback if anything else pops up

Ok new problem at the moment i remove the armature the clothes all go diretly to the floor

[somber sequoia]

wait, why remove the armature? You need that

[final grove]

can someone please help me add contact receiver ? it doens't work for me ..

[somber sequoia]

provide specific details

[final grove]

when I do as people on videos on how to add it, it doesn't work... idk what more info to give

[reef kraken]

@somber sequoia i redid the avatar with pumpkin tools and uploaded it but its looks like not connect to the armature??

[somber sequoia]

what does "it doesn't work" mean exactly?

[final grove]

that it doesn't do nothign

[somber sequoia]

not sure what that means?

[somber sequoia]

then you'll need to show your setup

[neon trench]

Hey, Is there a way i can redownload my uploaded avatars from the game to my pc. I 'lost' the original files. Substance painter isn't working so i can't recreate my stuff so is there a way?

[somber sequoia]

nope, not possible

[neon trench]

😭

[reef kraken]

where the hair is is my vr, the body isnt connect to my vr tracking

[final grove]

you didn't connect it to the armature

[reef kraken]

how??

[proud atlas]

So i already have another armature in the other model but also the old one had the clothes and accessories

[final grove]

in blender

[reef kraken]

where in bleder?

[somber sequoia]

you don't want to try to swap meshes or armatures separately - keep them together

[somber sequoia]

how is the hair added, in blender?

[reef kraken]

hair is through unity

[somber sequoia]

Okay how is it added in unity?

[reef kraken]

only the body, head, and ears are from blender from earlier

[reef kraken]

on the head in the armature

[somber sequoia]

what exactly does that mean

just dropping the object on there doesn't link it to move with the avatar's armature.

I asked how it was added, not "to where was it added"

[reef kraken]

fbx i guess

[somber sequoia]

fbx is a model file format

[reef kraken]

what do you mean how it was added?

[somber sequoia]

I can't simplify that question more. Explain how you added the hair to this new avatar.

[reef kraken]

pulled it off the old avatar and put it in the armature under the head how it was before

[somber sequoia]

Yeah that's not linking it to move with the armature

[reef kraken]

how is the hair part of the body not following my vr and trackers?

i can screw with the hair later but the body is my main thing rn because i have no clue how its like this

[proud atlas]

Ok so maybe the question is how do we link the old stuff of our avis to the new armature of the new one?

[somber sequoia]

how did you link stuff to the old one? do that again.

[reef kraken]

?

[final grove]

trying to make a contact receiver, what am I doing wrong please ?

it doesn't do nothing

[reef kraken]

the hair and clothes follow my vr tracking points like normal but the body doesnt

[reef kraken]

its just the body

[somber sequoia]

you'll probably want an off transition, but from what I see here, this looks reasonable

[final grove]

yeah no idea what it means..

[somber sequoia]

you have a transition from off to on, but not on to off

so this will stay on once touched, assuming you get the touch working

[final grove]

yeah, but it doesn't turn on

[somber sequoia]

I get that, I was just pointing this out also

[final grove]

it reacts to the touch, it says that the contact sender is working with the receiver, but in animator it doesn't do nothing

[somber sequoia]

got the layer weight set to 1?

[final grove]

yes sir

[livid yarrow]

anyone know how to make a tail wag animation as either a toggle/radial or to have one activate with a facial expression?

[proud atlas]

Ok so in my case its a avi i downloaded it has a base version an one that is ready to upload, base has nothing but it was the one i modified so i need to replace that one whit the ready one, all settings and all are already connected to the base one but the clothes and stuff seem to be still attached to the armature of the ready one so im not sure how to now add the clothes and all that to the base

[somber sequoia]

without knowing how that was all done, it's difficult to give useful advice here

[undone oracle]

is the only way to stop is shrinking/warping when rotating to make them seperate objects?

[rugged solar]

This is the first time I've seen these errors with the SDK. Each of the head, hands, and feet bones its asking for are specified in the avatar, so what could be the problem?

[tardy pike]

Anyone know what I did wrong?

[somber sequoia]

what should we be looking at here?

[tardy pike]

The hair

Kinda just scalping itself

[undone oracle]

woah super cute, did you make it?

[rugged solar]

no no, I'm just putting together some assets I found

[tardy pike]

found issue had to transfer head to new head

[undone oracle]

love it!, you have to show me when its done

[rugged solar]

I will when vrchat lets me upload it ;-;

[humble roost]

Heya, I need confirmation if Dynamic bones can collide with world collidors, I am trying to do this seen in the images

[somber sequoia]

Dynamic bones are deprecated, but if you mean Physbones, no. You'll need to add a collider plane at the base of your avatar to do this.

[humble roost]

ah dang it, I see, but thanks for the info!

[undone oracle]

is the only way to stop cogs from shrinking/warping when rotating to make them seperate objects?

[somber sequoia]

make sure the weight paint for any rigid item is uniform over the entire item

[night ember]

you cant mix weight paints between bones
each cog needs to be 100% weighted to only 1 bone

[proud atlas]

Help now its saying this yet the things a re mapped just checked

[rugged solar]

I just fixed this on mine

check the names of the objects in your hierarchy

if you renamed some then it breaks the mapping

[proud atlas]

And how do i un break it?

[rugged solar]

put the name back to what it was

[proud atlas]

Oh that was dumb to ask

[rugged solar]

if you dont remember, you can take the name from the mapping since it will still use the old one

[foggy cobalt]

I want to redo the weight painting on my model, but even if I un-parent and delete vertex groups, the same weight painting is still there. How do I for sure remove it?

[peak furnace]

Does anyone have a video that shows how to upload a VFX ot a written with screenshots?
Basically the stuff that coogee makes

weight is only contained in vertex groups - delete them and it's gone. Parenting isn't relevant.

[livid yarrow]

Any ideas as to why this radial toggle wont work how i want it to??

im trying to make a radial wheel where the tail wags but the speed is interchangeable

[somber sequoia]

you could do this with one animation with the speed parameter in the animator state, on a normal layer rather than a blend tree

[livid yarrow]

uhh would you be able to explain or point me toward a guide?
this is only my second time messing with radials/floats

or blendtrees in general

[somber sequoia]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/class-State.html - the speed parameter

blendtrees get kinda weird with some things, like looping clips

anything that loops I don't put in a blendtree

[undone oracle]

can you use a rotation constraint then bake animations and import to unity?

[livid yarrow]

i apologize but im not sure im seeing anything in this doc that tried to explain how to make one 🥲

i tried googling and i saw something about coding

[somber sequoia]

nothing about coding, any tutorial on doing animations and working in the animator will get you most of the way there, you just put a float parameter into this speed slot, and change that parameter with a radial menu item

I don't have one readily available that fits your exact specific need

[livid yarrow]

i'll try using it snd get back to you 🥲 thank you for helping me though

youre all good!

[undone oracle]

also anyone know why the roses and one cog floating even though its peranted (in blender) to the rig?

[hasty acorn]

every time i import this avi into unity it is telling me that the armature is rotated -90 on the x but it is absolutely not in blender. GoLoco does not work because of this issue HELLLp, iv been at it for hours

[hasty acorn]

is it weight painted correctly?

[undone oracle]

yea I checked

[somber sequoia]

lack of weight paint?

oh sorry, I was scrolled up

still, that's what it looks like - go verify it's painted to the bone it should be and only that bone

[undone oracle]

ah I was looking at the opposite side ty

[somber sequoia]

aha!

[devout fulcrum]

avatar test

how does bro look

[somber sequoia]

like someone I don't want to mess with

[devout fulcrum]

hes so peak

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_F6FLP56k7Y&pp=ygULa2FuZGEgaW50cm8%3D

[night ember]

like his toy robot aboutta lose the fight to a kid's toy robot made of magnets

[devout fulcrum]

elite ball knowledge

[night ember]

yes

[fervent spear]

hi guys i still dont understand why this is happening, any advice?

[devout fulcrum]

whats the best emote pack

[livid yarrow]

I figured it out!!

unfortunately it wasnt with the speed param you suggested but i was trying to use VRCFury and realized that it was telling me the physbone wasnt set to "is Animated" at the very bottom of the component.

Me being stubborn i went back and retried the float with a blend tree and this was the best result i found. ( i dont mind the cute fast little wags at the begining; its kinda cute and the rest of the slider works as planned aswell so im happy with the result <3)

i tried to show everything i added incase anyone else was trying to do this aswell 😭 💙

[somber sequoia]

ah, I didn't realize you hadn't checked that, makes so much sense

[timber anvil]

what do i do about this

its been like this for a while

and when i load my avatar its a error bot

[boreal sky]

Its the 1st Time this happen to idk what I can do cause i cant upload or Even use gesture manager what can I do ?

[night ember]

Upload it again
Also what is said stats for the avatar

[night ember]

Looks like you didnt read the page you bought it from for the dependencies

[timber anvil]

very poor but it uploaded before i messed something up

so i had to add an armature link to the clothing

and now its like this

[night ember]

That doesnt tell me stats

[timber anvil]

idk what that means then im relatively really new to unity

[night ember]

The actual stats

Very poor is the performance rating

[boreal sky]

Well there is only the avatar nothing that tell what to do … And I asked the creator he just say he forgot something and all I have to do is delete gesture manager but Even if I do it I have the same thing

[night ember]

But what is the stats that its giving you like tricount

[night ember]

Gesture manage is for testing in unity?

You need to import goloco

[boreal sky]

How

[timber anvil]

this stuff?

[night ember]

By downloading it and importing it?

[night ember]

Screenshot the entire thing not cropped snippets

[night ember]

And is that all of it

[timber anvil]

yes

other then the fact the avatar is shorter then usual

[vocal lion]

im also having this issue

[night ember]

It only fails the check if its complete ass to the point it thinks its malicious
Or you broke it

What very specific unity version and sdk version are you using

[timber anvil]

how do i check that

i could just redo the whole project

[boreal sky]

alright so i did that and now i cant upload it it says this

[night ember]

You have missing scripts

[boreal sky]

tf

and how do i fix this ?

[timber anvil]

i think i know why it isnts uploading tho now. porbably because its all down atm

its just forever pending

thats my logic

until its up again

[mossy steppe]

anyone else having issues w avatar validation?

avatar was fine but i added an extra audio file and after that it gets stuck at that little chunk of server processing and then only loads as a robot. no errors in unity, building a vcfury test avatar doesnt reveal any issues, and it works fine with gesture manager

[vocal lion]

yyea

[mossy steppe]

just refuses to load in game

[vocal lion]

vrc's having issues in general rn, i think when it gets fixed everything should go through

[mossy steppe]

yeahhh, i got a uhhh

error about unusual client activity earlier

and then it refused to let me login for a second earlier too lol

ive been trying to fix this for a while and only after the notif did i think maybe all of these things are connected lol. figured id ask

[boreal sky]

i have this prblm when i try to connect on sdk

[haughty quartz]

https://downdetector.com/status/vrchat/
VRChat is down

[boreal sky]

ahh

[fresh bluff]

Could anyone help me with making the size lower for quest? im using optimizers and the texture sizes are low do i have to literally just remove stuff now to make the size lower

[arctic lintel]

So is this new or is this bc vrchat is having issues?

This is what i got when signing into VRC SDK, it wont let me upload at all. I am just overall confused, and it isnt my first time uploading whatsoever.

[boreal sky]

everything is down even snapchat idk why

[languid cipher]

wait everything is down? is that why my avatar is failing to upload constantly rn?

[boreal sky]

yup

[languid cipher]

well thats good to know i thought i was doing something wrong

[boreal sky]

well me it been a moment im waiting i tought the same but no its just down

[languid cipher]

actually i might be doing something wrong after all

[arctic lintel]

Wait so its just saying that bc vrc is down?

[fresh bluff]

Not for me

[boreal sky]

lucky

[arctic lintel]

The chosen one.

[languid cipher]

yeah wait i just checked my snapchat and its all fine here too

which means i am doing something wrong

[fresh bluff]

whats exactly happening

[languid cipher]

ill show here in a second i gotta finish aligning the millions of contacts for a toggle im adding to my avatar

[languid cipher]

everytime i try to upload her i get this entire error string in the console

[candid tide]

it’s def bc servers r still not fully back

bc when i try to upload for quest its failing security checks

[languid cipher]

huh well dang that sucks

i hope they come back up here soon

[candid tide]

fr

[languid cipher]

i also wonder how long before they notice it lmao

at least i can save this profject for later and i dont have to worry about the like what 15 different contacts and restrains to align for the vape toggle on my avatar lmao

[ornate stump]

They already knew it. But it isn't something they can do about because it's outside of their control.

[languid cipher]

thats fair

[boreal sky]

any can upload or nah ?

[digital dew]

Noo

[languid cipher]

might have to wait till like after 12pm CST (i went by CST cause its my time zone at least)

at least that when ill try again unless it comes back up before then

[raw violet]

I wouldnt upload until the status say all is operational again, until then, have fun optimizing avis, or something ,
or find new avis to work on, or even blender if your proficient

[west storm]

that might explain this error, rihgt? If everything is down no wonder im getting this (I was able to log in like, half an hour or some time before just fine)

[west storm]

samsung too

[raw violet]

could be, yeh

[west storm]

aw man :/

so we all can jsut,, wait rn?

[raw violet]

you can still work on things if it doesnt require you to log in here or there,

I do know that unity wants to connect online, atleast first startup if you havent in a while, so maybe not, but its worth a try

[rustic tide]

Idk snap and the sdk work for me

[west storm]

huuuh

i turned off y vpn, restarted and i still cant log in

ive been using unity and uploading stuff ofr a while now, idk why it suddenly stoped

[raw violet]

its surely the AWS issue then , you just have to wait if it needs login to work ,

[west storm]

a friend of mine jsut said for him the vrc site is down

[west storm]

im sorry, english isnt my first languagem, what is aws?

[raw violet]

yeh, its affecting a ton of services, including alot of VRC services, and snapchat, and roblox, and fortnite, and .. soooo on

[west storm]

gotcha, ill wait then, glad to know its not onkly on my site

[raw violet]

Amazon Web Services - > lots of pages hosts trough them as they offer some protections,

[west storm]

aaaaaaah understood

[distant sleet]

which is the best way to rig this model in this fixed pose

[ornate stump]

I wouldn't bother to use that model at all.

[distant sleet]

i don't have a choice

what should i do with this model?

[ornate stump]

Trying to fix it rather wastes more effort than just finding another one.

[ornate stump]

If you want to then you could rig bone bases on its current pose.

[distant sleet]

ok but is there any bones refence for vrc? or do any rigging tutorials?

like i can name it what i want?

[ornate stump]

#avatar-rigging message

[ornate stump]

There are naming convention for unity humanoid bones. But you could also just name them whatever you want.

[cinder pulsar]

AWS Servers were down ealier, they all use the Amazon Web Service as their servers, VRChat does too

[stray lintel]

hi

im trying to create a dissolve toggle for my character, how would I do that using material animations?

Here's what i got so far

however it's not fully dissolving and it's just turning whatever color i choose for dissolved color

shooottttt

thank you so much

I missed that simple step T_T

[somber sequoia]

Also make sure the dissolved color has the target alpha you want, 0 for transparent. The number of times I've set this up and forgotten that detail is... well more than I'd like.

[shut oxide]

is there a way to change feet height from the ground based on the toggeled outfit so the shoes dont sink into the floor when u toggle different outfit

[somber sequoia]

You could do it with a blendshape, but that means work in Blender (or similar)

[shut oxide]

Im making clothes for an existing booth model so i dont think i can change the blend shapes as i cant include the base in the file

it already has a higheel shapekey that rotates the feet but doesnt make em higher from the ground

[somber sequoia]

ahh, I see. Haven't tried this myself.

[little plume]

Is it possible to do this panning effect on quest somehow?

I dont want questies to just see a still image

[little plume]

Also I have a version of the head textures I could use to make the galaxy effect on the visor but I have no clue how to do it

[ornate stump]

Texture scrolling can be done by animating texture offset. But quest is limiting what shader you can use, so you have to think more how to applied the effect within its limitation.

[little plume]

Ill try making an animation yeah

Rn the avatar just uses poiyomis scrolling effect

But how can the galaxy thing be made with poi?

[somber sequoia]

I mentioned this before, but probably the panosphere feature

[little plume]

The huh what

Is that poiyomi?

[somber sequoia]

This is where you look that up in Poiyomi's documentation

[little plume]

If it is then I can just use rgba masking and do that

[little plume]

Ok so it is poiyomi thank you

Didn't know if poiyomi could do that

[somber sequoia]

I mentioned it to you twice before

[little plume]

When

[somber sequoia]

There's lots of new stuff, so I'm sure it got lost in the discussion, no worries

[little plume]

Yea sorry if I missed something I most the time dont check back unless im pinged

Wish I could get my reflections looking good like the real model but might not be possible since unreal and unity lighting are different

[safe spire]

why cant I switch my sdk version to android?

[somber sequoia]

possibly you didn't install Unity's Android build support

https://creators.vrchat.com/platforms/android/build-test-mobile/#set-up-unity-android-tools

[safe spire]

ty

[somber sequoia]

(took me a min to find that link)

[little plume]

Now for the face image I can just use decal correct??

Right now its just baked onto the head texture but it doesnt have its own mesh like the sicko mode varient

I might setup 2d visimes on it so I can make the face image change based on sounds too

[hollow mesa]

so i just uploaded an avatar i went in game to check it but the option to see the avis i made is missing?

[ornate stump]

There is partial server outtage now.

[hollow mesa]

thank you!

[uncut edge]

is this also the reason my VRC SDK just goes grey when i click upload?

[ornate stump]

Possibly

[uncut edge]

spent 2 hours thinking something was broken and remaking the avatar, guess ill try again tomorrow

[wooden zinc]

oh shi i come in here for the same reason and my question was like 50% answered already . i honestly thought i broke somthing agian

[somber sequoia]

somebody sure did

[crimson pendant]

how do i fix this error

[somber sequoia]

Unless that is the only error in the console, please show the first 2-3 errors at the top of the console, and don't clip quite so much so we can see the console window itself

[crimson pendant]

ok

[somber sequoia]

I really wanted to see the number in the red indicator in the upper right

and the scrollbar

[crimson pendant]

sorry i dont know what im doing

ive never gotten this error before

[somber sequoia]

err on the side of showing us more info rather than less. And again, I am looking for the first errors, which are at the top, you have 4 errors listed but show two, and are scrolled all the way down.
You can make this easy by turning off warnings and info messages - the white and yellow buttons at the top right.

[crimson pendant]

ok

[somber sequoia]

well that's interesting and not very informative

[spark walrus]

It's the JSON error, you can't upload right now even if you wanted too. Wait until avatar uploads are actually back online for VRC, and then try again

[somber sequoia]

oh is this what we're getting from the SDK right now?

[spark walrus]

Yeah, you can't upload avatars at all because it seems like they prioritized getting the game back up versus getting everything functional

[somber sequoia]

no I got that, just hadn't seen what errors the SDK was returning yet

[crimson pendant]

alright then

[broken vector]

could anyone show me how to fix this pls?

[somber sequoia]

Add those parameters to your parameter list

or remove the menu which requires them

[broken vector]

ty!

[slender spire]

anyone know how to fix this

avatar builds fine it's js this

[uncut edge]

vrchat server problem is what most people are saying

[slender spire]

oh alright thanks

[sonic jacinth]

Im getting that darn Json error too

My heart dropped ik its not my avi lol

[slender spire]

i was abt to lose it dude

[crimson pendant]

yeah my "uploaded" section is gone in the game too

[sonic jacinth]

SAMEEE

[uncut edge]

i would have wasted alot less time had i known it was a vrchat problem but atleast i know now

[crimson pendant]

yeah

[sonic jacinth]

Same here I have wasted at least an hour. I went in troubleshooting and actually checked for like textures that might be having problems and went into the code head writer and checked there as well and it wasn’t anything so yeah it’s 100% servers

[uncut edge]

yeah, i ended up redoing the entire unity setup for my avatar twice

before i decided to look in here

[slender spire]

same..

[loud arrow]

umm my avatars arnt appering in this list anymore

i can still use them from the recently used but i cant go to my avatars directly

[night ember]

the servers are literally dead right now

[loud arrow]

ah

what happend why is everything down

[somber sequoia]

#server-status

[frail vessel]

is it possible to make the tattoos on my avatar glow if they're in the same texture as my avatars skin?

[night ember]

make a separate emission texture

[frail vessel]

i just found one texture for some of the tattoos, are there videos on how to do it?

[night ember]

just make the tattoos its own texture and put it into the emission slot?

[frail vessel]

the tattoo has its own texture

i wonder if i can put audiolink on them

[night ember]

then do it?

[frail vessel]

idrk how lol, thats why i was asking

[night ember]

you just put it in the emission slot

the shader needs audiolink support

[frail vessel]

it has audiolink support

[night ember]

then enable it

[frail vessel]

idk how it works tho, like how to put in on the textures i want

[night ember]

idk what you are even using

[frail vessel]

wdym

[night ember]

you have yet to say what shader you are even using

[frail vessel]

poiyomi 8.1

[night ember]

enable audiolink then checkbox it under whatever you want it to affect

[frail vessel]

well i used the tool to put it in the Hiearchy but have no clue how to enable it

[night ember]

you dont put audiolink on it?

you just enable it in the material

[frail vessel]

oh?

can i do it on a texture instead of a material

because the material im using is the whole body and i only want to do the tattoos

[night ember]

thats not how textures work

also you literally just have it only affect the emission

[frail vessel]

im still new to this im sorry if im being difficult

because when i enabled audio link it lit up my avatars whole body

[night ember]

then change the emission settings

[frail vessel]

and just drop my tattoo texture in the emmission settings?

[night ember]

yea?

[frail vessel]

ok

uhmmmm

my uploaded avatars are gone?

[night ember]

#vrchat-general-1

[frail vessel]

also

i added the audio link to the textures

now what

i assumed that was it

[tawdry swallow]

what does this error mean? i know the servers are having issues rn but im just curious if anyone knows
(it shows up when i try to upload an avi btw forgot to specify)

[somber sequoia]

that's from the outage

basically bad response from the API

[tawdry swallow]

oohhhh

[somber sequoia]

(it shouldn't be throwing a JSON decode error, that should have been better handled and a nicer message printed, but here we are....)

[frail vessel]

is it? sorry if i sound impatient

[trim turtle]

I was just also trying to resolve that problem and just about to ask here... So three hours of researching for something that's not my fault... Nice 😆

[graceful berry]

if theres a pre-existing 3d humanoid model how easy would it be to make a vrchat model from that

[night ember]

what is said pre-existing model

[graceful berry]

aboubi straftat

let me find a good screenshot

this feller

my goat❤️

[keen lark]

any clue why this model's eye is tweaking out when i put him into unity?

[graceful berry]

is that the like hylics guy

[keen lark]

its a hylics fan character yeah 😔

[graceful berry]

okay considering ur tag thing yes it is

[keen lark]

lol

but yeah like the eyeball/sclera is joined with the body and i've tried applying the location and scale and all that, and the iris is a separate object and it's not taking on the texture image for the iris either

[graceful berry]

i need this man in vrchat❤️

[spark walrus]

I don't know what could cause this, but I'd keep the expression cause it's so silly

[keen lark]

ok i figured it out the normals had to be recalculated in the eye cuz at some point i messed them up somehow

[spark walrus]

Has anyone had issues where you can't find Toon Standard in the list of shaders in the VRC mobile section?

[stray lintel]

hi everyone

I am trying to make a retractable blade for my avatar

i have no idea where to start it

I have an idea for a particle system

make it turn on and turn off

but im not too sure how I'd do a sliding animation

https://youtu.be/z3CiYiMhKZg?si=QJBX-dVNLkcYcJZl&t=20

I want to make it similar to this, but attached to my wrists

[still shuttle]

I am goin insane
I purchased this asset:
https://payhip.com/b/sSrIA
and for some reason no matter what I do, it wont let me have it off by default. If anyone has any insight or experience with this particular asset, I would really like some help

[boreal sorrel]

isnt avatar in specific, but creator companion. i loaded it up and all my projects were gone??? I'm so beyond confused, any way to get them back? i should still have them in my downloads.

[left stream]

click the down arrow next to 'create new project'

then 'add existing project' and select the folder

[left stream]

it probably uses a vrcfury toggle component right? if so make sure it doesnt have 'default on' ticked in the options

[boreal sorrel]

what folder? i want all my like logged things back in there if it makes sense. unless that's what i need to do LMAO

[left stream]

the project folder

[still shuttle]

this is the only vrc component it really has.
I have already tried adjusting the parameter settings and changing things in its FX layer

[orchid bay]

Is this my fault?????????????????????

[olive tendon]

I've been having this issue too

[still shuttle]

Try downgrading ur SDK by like one version. That let me upload for some reason

[olive tendon]

where do i go to do this?

[still shuttle]

VCC

[olive tendon]

like, in the settings?

[still shuttle]

Just where you manage your package, whichever you are currently working on

[olive tendon]

okay

so 3.8.2?

[orchid bay]

I couldn't upload with ver.3.7.6
I think this is caused by server error…(maybe)

[olive tendon]

hmm

[still shuttle]

Yeah thats also possible

Ik some creators are pausing uploads while the whole server error thing is goin down

[olive tendon]

someone uploaded an avatar just fine, but now i can't, i'm so confused

[still shuttle]

Yeah its on and off for everyone, some ppl have access fine to the servers others dont

[olive tendon]

all the avatars upload, but then in unity they say " Upload failed " and or " thumbnail required "

yeahhh..

[night ember]

Older versions of the sdk get deprecated as soon as a new version releases
You cant expect it to continie working

[olive tendon]

It’s not that, I think it’s because of the outage

I’ve had no luck uploading an avatar. Says the same thing over and over

[rugged vortex]

I came across this same issue while helping someone out, are you sure you have permission to upload yet?

Not until I saw they were not permitted yet and they had to buy vrc+

Not until then did it work

[olive tendon]

Yes

I am a trusted user and I have a ton of avatars uploaded

I think it’s just vrchat

[mighty basin]

ima be so real, how do i rig this. why do i do this to myself and make weird legs

[keen lark]

https://youtu.be/yY_gnDVhyHQ i was just using this tutorial earlier today lol

[mighty basin]

see but like. . . there is no feet ,_, do i just not include the foot or toe bone?

[safe spire]

what does PB and DB mean on unity?

[barren mason]

Anyone have the default vrchat robot textures? (Preferably the one with thr blocked symbol amd the yellow error one)

[night ember]

you require all of the humanoid bones

toes and fingers are optional

however feet bones are required

[winter perch]

What happened?

[night ember]

show all the errors

[digital dew]

Broken

[winter perch]

Can't even see the alert dropdown

[winter perch]

"Sky is blue" aahh

[mighty basin]

okay, thank you ill just not have toe bone then

[night ember]

thats not the console

[winter perch]

Thats a txt file...
You can expand it to see the full error

[night ember]

and its only 1 of the errors not all of them

all that tells you is it failed

[winter perch]

Oh okay

Lemme redo it

That's everything

[arctic ginkgo]

@crisp perch lets talk here instead! there's more people that can help you get started and answer questions than in the other server

[crisp perch]

Hi hi

ok thanks alot

[night ember]

just screenshot the console

[crisp perch]

so where do i start in blender or start working on a quest avatar

[night ember]

"This avatar contains meshes that were imported with Read/Write disabled."
"This avatar contains skinned meshes that were imported with Blendshape Normals set to 'Calculate' but aren't using 'Legacy Blendshape Normals'."

[arctic ginkgo]

well are you starting with a complete avatar base that's ready to upload, or are you starting with just a base model?

[winter perch]

And how do I fix that?

[night ember]

do what it literally tells you

enable read and write
enable legacy blendshape normals

[crisp perch]

Im going to do a kitbase on the a base model i bought

[arctic ginkgo]

alright, have you unzipped the file you downloaded?

[digital dew]

Try unplugging it and plugging it back in

[crisp perch]

not yet im waiting to be discharged from the hospital im away from my pc

[winter perch]

Where do I enable those?

[night ember]

on the model file?

[arctic ginkgo]

they're both import settings. You can find them by selecting the fbx file and looking in the inspector. Both should be under the "model" tab of settings

[arctic ginkgo]

that's alright! lmk when you're at your PC and if i'm available later I can help you then

[winter perch]

Now that's what I'm looking for

[crisp perch]

thank you so much

[arctic ginkgo]

ofc!

[winter perch]

Nice, it worked! Thank you so much!!
Turns out it's my props' setting that has the two disabled

[bitter adder]

Gogo loco isn't working for me it says missing script

[feral drift]

Why do some Avatars automatically became iOS compatible without reuploading anything, and some avatars don't?
Both of these are android compatible

[neat coral]

Dose anyone happen to know why when I tpose with outfits that arent the main one it toggles them off? or even when i join a world (dissolve toggles)

[remote night]

anyone know how to attach a Look at Constraint to the local player's camera (trying to achieve a billboard effect)

[shrewd stirrup]

my particles aren't appearing and everything is on and working and unity and im using the right shaders

[orchid bay]

I could upload this avater
but now I can't use this avater(it became error avater)

😭

[tardy pike]

anyone know whats wrong?

[silent flume]

#avatar-general message

[sage garnet]

im trynna make my avatar lipsync mmd worlds does anyone know how to do that?

[somber sequoia]

you need to have the required blendshapes on your model

[tardy pike]

I fixed the issues

No clue how I just mashed shit til it worked

[devout fulcrum]

where should you put your view sphere and how do you get it so that when you touch your belly irl you touch your belly in game

also is there any way to configure resting hand position

[somber sequoia]

view sphere should be right between the eyes, in the bridge of the nose

[left stream]

is there any way to undo... this... when i accidentally touch one of the parameters in a blendtree

or do i just have to go through and set everything to 0

[devout fulcrum]

nice

[somber sequoia]

unity is so weird about this, I mostly ignore them, they'll get set properly in play mode or in game, to whatever the values are in the animator's parameters

[left stream]

oh good

[pine fable]

i didn't see this channel, my fault. i'm blind sometimes

i think usually you'd just use a blendshape to shrink that part of the body

[pine fable]

I'm using a Rusk base

if I shrink part of the blendshape to fit the clothing, it also shrinks parts of the body in a way so that it'd look weird

[frail vessel]

okay i need help on how to give my tattoo textures emission

[languid cipher]

are the services back up? is anyone able to upload avatars yet?

[wooden nova]

oh they are down thought it was jsut me

thank goodness

[digital dew]

I THINK I was just able to?

[glass ridge]

I was about to say, that test upload I mentioned just worked

[languid cipher]

i just tried for some reason it keeps giving me the same error as before when i couldnt upload

[glass ridge]

Could you go to the unity error menu and screenshot it?

[languid cipher]

well then its the avatar and i was being lied to. i was trying to ask for help with my upload and everyone was blaming the outage

right here

[glass ridge]

Oh you're a different person

[languid cipher]

idk whats going on its the same error everytime and everyone just blamed the outage

[digital dew]

What avatar is it

[glass ridge]

Why your console look different 🤨

[digital dew]

They just have it cropped weird I think

[languid cipher]

i just cropped it

but its catori by swiftiefox

[plush siren]

i just uploaded one, everything should be fine

all systems were already back up 12 hours ago

[languid cipher]

i thought so

[glass ridge]

Yea it's their av's messing up

[languid cipher]

i just dont know what any of that console error means to fix the issue

[glass ridge]

But there's too much noise for me to tell which is the cause in this.

[digital dew]

Is that like an old old avi?

[digital dew]

Which unity version are you using?

[languid cipher]

2022.3.6

thats the one it was made for

[glass ridge]

They said that in the dependencies?

[digital dew]

3.6 is not supported by vrchat anymore I don't believe, Try using 3.22f1

[languid cipher]

she stated it on her purchase website

[glass ridge]

It is technically, just not recommended

[digital dew]

No, Unity version 3.6 is not supported on VRChat. VRChat is built on a much more recent version of the engine, and you will not be able to upload avatars or worlds created with such an old version of Unity.

[glass ridge]

That doesn't give a year

[digital dew]

3.6 is outdated so that's probably why it's failing

[languid cipher]

i have it on another project on that version as well but it still gave the same error

[glass ridge]

That's prob 2019.3.6

[digital dew]

Try a different avatar

The avatar itself might just be outdated and no longer upload

[languid cipher]

imma be sad if that the reason cause she is so freaking pretty and i really want her...

[digital dew]

probably a silly question but if the creator has a discord you have joined and asked right?

[languid cipher]

actually i havent checked

that should have been the first thing i tried

i feel stupid now lol

[digital dew]

You're okay don't worry I make the same mistake

[languid cipher]

im looking at her shop and it actually looks like this is the newest avatar she made

welp no server but her username was in the shop so we will see if i get added

[digital dew]

my vcc worked for ONE upload and now its gone again lmao

[left gull]

I know its been solved in here before but i cant find the messages, how do i fix my armature's bones mirroring in reverse when in pose mode?

nvm found the message as soon as i messaged this, forgot to check boneroll

[gusty meteor]

Hey 👋
I'm playing with Particle Systems and I have one set to looping.
I want to make it stop emitting then start emitting again. How can I do that ?
I can change the looping state to false so it stops emitting but is there a way of making it start emitting particles again without disabling and enabling the gameobject ? Because that would erase all particles still present in the air if I disable and reenable it quickly.

Maybe I need a buffer particle ?

[heavy zephyr]

You can animate the emission module on/off and that should do what you want!

[gusty meteor]

Oooh clever, didn't think of that thanks !

[wary wedge]

Any1 know how i can fix this issue?
First pic is the model before using the animatior
Second pic is when i pressed the record button

[somber sequoia]

Are you using visemes for speaking, but still have a jawbone mapped in the rig setup? Remove that mapping.

[wary wedge]

How do i do that?

[somber sequoia]

find your model file in the project window, click it, go to the inspector window, select the rig tab, click "configure", select the head tab, remove the jaw bone from the slot if it's there.

most of the basic avatar setup video tutorials will show this, if you need visuals

[wary wedge]

Is this the project window you mean?

[somber sequoia]

The one on the left is the hierarchy, the project window is the one at the bottom which says "project", it lists the files in your project.

[wary wedge]

Is this the jaw bone im supposed to remove?

[somber sequoia]

Yes - remove that

click it, hit the delete key

or I guess you can click that button on the right and select "none" or something like that

[wary wedge]

Like this?

[somber sequoia]

then also hit the apply button at the bottom

perfect

[wary wedge]

Tysm it worked

[somber sequoia]

excellent

[stray lintel]

Anyone know what im doing wrong

im trying to animate the blades so that they go out when the condition equals gestureLeft/Right 1

and the contact receiver is within proximity to the sender

[vocal plume]

Its twice now this happened I've made the avatars the way I always do and this just started happening the SDK keeps saying I don't have a thumbnail picture when I clearly do please dose anyone know how to fix this?

[stray lintel]

reload the sdk

go to vrchat sdk, reload sdk

if that doesn't work try detaching any avatar descriptors

[vocal plume]

I will try again but it didnt work the last time I did that but we will see

[stray lintel]

I had that same issue

I think the detaching avtar descriptors fixed it

[vocal plume]

how do you do that I never had to before?

yeah reloading the sdk didn't work sadly

[stray lintel]

if all else fails, try completely restarting unity

[vocal plume]

OMG it worked but now I have one more question if you don't mind so how would I make it quest compatible because dont you need the ID to upload the quest side?

[stray lintel]

Yes, you need to upload the pc version first, then attach a the blueprint id to

it

to the quest version

[vocal plume]

Ok sorry lol there is already an ID there again somehow

[stray lintel]

A

[vocal plume]

after i deleted it

[stray lintel]

ah

[vocal plume]

omg nvm I'm a dumbass I detached it not deleted it I guess sorry about that

[vocal plume]

I promise I know what Im doing XD

haven't had to deal with the sdk breaking in a while

[stray lintel]

lol ur good

[latent idol]

hey is anyone elses VRC SDK not load at all?

[somber sequoia]

what's wrong there? That looks like the SDK "loaded"

[latent idol]

everythings greyed out and it says loading everywhere lol

[somber sequoia]

oh that, it's probably trying to make an API call to the VRChat API

[latent idol]

been an hour like this by now

[serene warren]

Couldn't upload avatar, anyone knows how to fix this problem?

[spark walrus]

hello i need help i really want to upload this avatar but sense i had to make a new account due to too much drama but its saying a have to become a trusted user how do i get there quicker

[cedar echo]

You only need to be a new user to upload, just go to publics and make friends

[spark walrus]

ok thank youu

[naive ermine]

so i uploaded the avi, on pc its fully colored and stuff but on quest its bright neon pink :c help and thank you

[crisp tinsel]

quest avatar doesn't have any assigned material

or it can't find the shader

[agile reef]

Hello! I have an issue with my model, the hand gestures all work good but when I speak in game the mouth is not moving. I have the Lip Sync settings all set and proper so im not sure how else to work on fixing this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[naive ermine]

;w; is there a way for me to fix it ?

also thanks for answering

[crisp tinsel]

fix your material

[naive ermine]

;w; sorry for askilng again but how an i do that?

im sorry im very new to all of this

[crisp tinsel]

go back to your quest avatar, find the pink spot
when you click around, look at the inspector, the thingy where properties go
in there you can also see assigned materials - click on the material to find it

when you do find it, make sure you have an assigned texture and shader

[naive ermine]

omg thank you so much !!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[crisp tinsel]

no problem!

[naive ermine]

in the paper they thing they said it uses pio shader, should i just change it to that?

[crisp tinsel]

poiyomi shaders are pc only unfortunately

you're stuck with VRChat/Mobile

[naive ermine]

wait , whats that?

i thought poiyomi is quest

:c

[somber sequoia]

nope

[crisp tinsel]

shader folder

VRChat/Mobile/Toon Lit should work fine for most things

[naive ermine]

sorry for the stupid question again but how can i download the file ;wl

[crisp tinsel]

you already have it

just change the shader

[wispy moth]

Is there a solution or even a need to fix the importFBX Warnings: generate normals for blendshape '$BLENDSHAPE' on mesh '$MESH_NAME', mesh has no smoothing groups? I can "cheat" around to fix it by auto smoothing, but that gets rid of blendshapes on export. I can also change smoothing to shapes or edges on export, but that breaks the normals in unity.

[errant carbon]

I have an avatar where it's hands close/curve too far in (into the palm) when i close it with my quest conrollers.

When i use index controllers the hand closing is only proper when I put the fingers on "legacy mode"
is there any reason to and any reasonable fix for that?

would love to show a picture or video but need to make one.

[crisp tinsel]

@naive ermine

[naive ermine]

was struggling to find it for a min but i got it~!

:3

do i set all to that?

[crisp tinsel]

you don't have to, but play around with different shaders - they describe how differently a material can look

[minor geode]

how would i set up a quadruped avatar? i have a model that's on all fours and has more than 4 legs and im trying to figure out how i would set this up in vrc

[somber sequoia]

FYI, there's a whole discord specifically for this, "limbs" should get you there.

it can be quite complex, depending on how close to "decent" you want it

(feel free to DM me if you can't find it and need an invite)

[agile reef]

is playmode supposed to replace things here on the model? I am having a lot of gesture problems and when I test in playmode it like- replaces all these from what they were- out of playmode

[pure isle]

suggestions on how to fix this, ive tried reseting and smoothing normals

[somber sequoia]

if you're using Fury, it definitely does

[naive ermine]

yippies!!1 i have colorsnow!!! (one small issues ;w; im partly bald )

[timid acorn]

Hihi everyone, I'm needing some help figuring out how to add toggles for specific pieces of clothing when they're all part of the same asset. For example, the hoodie, shirt and pants are all part of the same asset but I'd like to make toggles for the individual pieces rather than just toggling the set on and off. Would greatly appreciate any help!

[somber sequoia]

if it's only one game object you'll have to use other methods, such as blendshape shrinking, or UV tile discarding. Both of which require work in Blender or similar.

[timid acorn]

I think I know how to do it with blendshapes but I'll look into the UV method as well, thank you for the keyword!
