[cedar shuttle]

might be a way to flip it to normal

[frank vessel]

Hellooooo everyone! Welcome to Unity Theory where it sometimes break for literally no reason!
Seriously though, I have no dea why it thinks I have Blueprint ID issue when it is clear and empty, or the AssetBundle too

[somber sequoia]

9 errors, scroll to the top and look at the first 2-3, these are side-effects.

[frank vessel]

I need help because I don't understand what I did or happened lol

[indigo valley]

I ask my question in there

[somber sequoia]

Yes.

[indigo valley]

Thank

[oak bone]

you have missing scripts

[somber sequoia]

First error: missing script.
Install whatever requirement package you didn't yet install. Check the avatar creator's docs for clues as to what it is.

[oak bone]

most likely, you didnt import the packages you needed, like VRCFury, GoGoLoco, or Poiyomi (most common ones)

yea

[frank vessel]

I seeeeeee, hmm it did not give me that error earlier but now it did, I will check with the creator!

[somber sequoia]

It probably did, just you didn't scroll up to see it

[frank vessel]

Probably lol

[pine valley]

i've randomly gotten this error before

no obvious cause (and it went away on its own)

[frank vessel]

So yeah apparently those are just very old Dynamicbones and colliders it seems

I was kinda under the impression the the SDK would automatically convert those to Physbones

[somber sequoia]

the SDK doesn't but the game used to at runtime. now you have to convert them yourself, but it's pretty easy

VRLabs has a dynamic bone stub package you can add and then use the function in the SDK menu to convert those

[frank vessel]

Oh? how easy?

[frank vessel]

Ahhh

I'm gonna check on that, thanks!

[sharp osprey]

i need help (redoing the model) and as i put it in unity(right image) the whole face/head and hair are inside out when in Blender (left image) everything is fine with backface culling on and i tried reseting vectors too and the faces arent flipped either.... any help please?

[somber sequoia]

how did you verify the faces aren't flipped?

[sharp osprey]

alt + N and i have backface culling on so it should be visible- and also checked with face orientation turned on

[somber sequoia]

ok good

[sharp osprey]

so how can i fix it-

[night ember]

if its rendering like that then the faces are in fact inverted

[somber sequoia]

sure looks like it to me, yeah.

[sharp osprey]

the left image has face orientation on-

[night ember]

it doesnt

[somber sequoia]

you can't see any red so you can't really tell

[sharp osprey]

i checked now and when i flipped faces like this it works in unity

its red now

bcs i flipped

and it works in unity

[hybrid basin]

Honestly I just messed around with the alpha transparency settings, and zwrite. If you need exact settings I can check for you

[obtuse lake]

Hello guys, I need help with this
I've been having this problem all day, I need to fix it quickly
I've tried uploading photos I've used before and even taking a picture of my avatar, but the problem persists

[hybrid basin]

Do you not have a thumbnail set?

Just read it, sorry. Is your SDK up to date?

Someone in another forum I saw said they had a space after their blueprint ID that caused the thumbnail not to work

[obtuse lake]

I updated everything

[obtuse lake]

I'll check now, maybe that's the problem

[hybrid basin]

I would try maybe even just clearing the entire blueprint and re-uploading as well

[obtuse lake]

It's fixed, that wasn't the problem

[storm granite]

Hi! I'm having the same problem as Artemis had time ago, I also want to swap the rock and roll gesture for a middle finger. I put the vrc_AvatarV3HandsLayer in the Gesture Slot and replaced the RockNRoll Motion, but my character's hand just goes from idle to... more idle?

Can someone throw me a bone :3?

[obtuse lake]

I think that's because VRChat was dead and I tried to upload the avatar before, so according to the Content Manager it was uploaded, but it wasn't

But it's okay now

[hybrid basin]

Glad you figured it out! What was the issue? I’m curious

I see, I see

Good old VRChat being buggy

[stray lintel]

why is my avatar like this in play mode

[light charm]

does anyone know why my avatar isn't working?? none of the emotes work, whenever i click them nothing happens

[night ember]

Dont know how your action layer is set up

[light charm]

gogoloco without vrc fury, so manual

[night ember]

That didnt really answer my question

[light charm]

oh
um
how would i answer it?

[night ember]

I cant see what you did

All I can really give is did you put goloco correctly

[light charm]

yep

[night ember]

But did you

[tired peak]

I'm trying to upload an avatar and it keeps saying something about no response to VRCApi but I see that it was resolved an hour-ish ago. Is it my end or is there api sdk issue?

[dim hawk]

Why is my avi's neck stretched out?

[night ember]

because the head was moved?

[dim hawk]

I didn't move the head at all, I've checked the hierarchy and it just stretches out when I press the play button

[night ember]

then the rig is fucked

could be the rig in general or whatever the humanoid assigned rig in unity looks like

[dim hawk]

Okay the humanoid rig is fine, but the muscles went wonky

[night ember]

set it back to generic then humanoid again?

[dim hawk]

I deleted it from Unity, and re-exported from Blender; that fixed it

[light charm]

yes
also update:
now only the emotes don't work
the accessory toggles work fine

[night ember]

is the layer set up and are you using the actual parameter

[light charm]

yes

[night ember]

are you sure it is

[light charm]

yes i double and even tripple checked

[night ember]

it should just work then

[light charm]

well it doesn't

[night ember]

the only reason it wouldnt is it wasnt set up correctly somewhere

[light charm]

maybe its the locomotion?

[night ember]

be it the actual layer or the menu

locomotion has nothing to do with the emotes

[light charm]

wrong
i was editing the locomotion

so i'm assuming that's what broke it

[night ember]

nothing in the locomotion deals with emotes

the action layer is what handles it

[light charm]

the tracking

[night ember]

thats done with the tracking control component

emotes are entirely handled with the action layer

[light charm]

not what i meant
i mean like
when an emote is about to initiate or about to stop, it connects to the thing
i can't explain it and it really frustrates me
but yes it is connected with the locomotion system i just know it

[night ember]

thats not how it works

all an emote playing does is sets the layer weight of the action layer to one and sets tracking control to animate most of the ik

[light charm]

with gogoloco, it is actually how it works... if you mess with the locomotion controller everything breaks

[stray lintel]

what is going on

why is my texture memory so high

[somber sequoia]

too many textures or too large textures

I see a ton of parts there, so kinda not surprised

[cold path]

how fix?

[cold path]

nvm I fixed it'

[frank dune]

Anyone knows what this means or how to fix it?

[mild valley]

Why is it telling me there is something wrong with my rigging when it shows green?

[stray lintel]

why is my avatar stuck in t pose

[stray lintel]

having that same issue

possibly bone parenting issue

[mild valley]

i mean they are all correctly named also its crazy that avi has a lady part

[stray lintel]

and???

It's a natural part of human anatomy?

[mild valley]

Maybe so but there are kids on this platform that should not be exposed to that in and out of Vr

[stray lintel]

oh wait

you mean its out on the avatar

guh

fuck i f'ed up the toggles then

anyways

why tf is my avatar still stuck in t pose

[sudden marsh]

anyone know what i can do about this?

alot of errors in the console logs, like missing custom animator controllers

and prefabs with missing scripts

[queen pewter]

Unity keeps telling me that my rig isn't in a t-pose, however when i enforce the t-pose onto the model, it just reverts itself back into its "non t-pose" model. is there something im doing wrong here?

I've tried using the rig the model came with, however it had the same issues, even after i attempted to remake the hand

when i ignore the warning, i also get told that the model wont recieve the vrchat animation set, because it isn't a humanoid model

[half ice]

hiii I just want to know when i do Decimate Modifier in blender how can I do it only for specific faces and not for the entire mesh?

[languid summit]

Can you expert prefab into blender

[somber sequoia]

don't use the modifier, use the one in the mesh -> cleanup menu on a modern blender

[half ice]

This one ?

[normal lance]

can someone explain to me how I can use the options tab in the physbones to add it so when the object is grabbed a sound plays? I have all the animations setup, but I don't know how to actually use the obj_isGrabbed parameter

[somber sequoia]

do you see anything there called "decimate"?

where are you even looking

[somber sequoia]

at the bottom of the physbone component, add a parameter, then use that in your animation logic

[half ice]

IDK xD

[somber sequoia]

you'll want to learn how to use the animation controller and such of course.

[somber sequoia]

edit mode for the mesh, select faces, go to the menu item I said

[half ice]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh okkkk i got it thanks xDDDDD

[half ice]

i dont even have to delete shape keys for this one

[somber sequoia]

nope

[half ice]

its better thanks

[normal lance]

oh... I have to just put the name in the animator parameters so it matches that in the physbone

[stray lintel]

anyone know how i can overlay a camera onto other's screens using a shader?

it's just showing as a white background if I put opacity up

[sharp osprey]

I uploaded the avatar and textures are fine and other but this is the only issue I found, I don't really know how to fix it. Any help?

[ornate stump]

I can't see what is wrong from your image.

[sharp osprey]

The arm

[ornate stump]

What does it do?

[sharp osprey]

It's not suppose to deflect like that aka to the front

[ornate stump]

You rather mean the elbow bending direction?

[sharp osprey]

Yeah yeah (sorry English isn't my native language)

[ornate stump]

Did you edit the model in blender?

[sharp osprey]

Yup

[ornate stump]

Make sure that elbow angle is pointing back.

For the elbow joint.

[ocean agate]

...I am extremely new to Unity, anyone know how I can turn a premade, unpainted model I got into a workable avatar at all?

Let me get a picture of the skeleton in Blender as an example

The skeleton looks like this

Idfk why

[ornate stump]

This part doesn't relate to unity.

[junior void]

youll likely have to do more than just "color" it

it needs to have a bone structure vrchat can work with

[ocean agate]

I get that, and my bad, I started this hours ago and I'm losing my mind on how to readjust it to function

[junior void]

i wouldnt say this is a beginner project really

you mightve bit off more than you can chew atm

[ornate stump]

I'd recommend to look for a model that actually can work with unity. This one require lot of fix.

[ocean agate]

It's based off my own guardian from D2, and this was the only way I saw to get it as one model. I fixed one problem that I had, but idk how to fix the skeleton

I can learn fast if I had the help to get this fixed- at least like a video or something akin for aid

[ornate stump]

There won't be a video teach you to "fix" because it's the case by case issue.

[junior void]

Start by studying this image #avatar-rigging message

[ornate stump]

You better have to understand fundamental.

[ocean agate]

I looked that over already, kinda how I knew something was wrong with mine

[ornate stump]

Then you could edit the bone to orient correctly with the model.

[ocean agate]

Thing is, I don't quite know how to align the existing skeleton to work

[junior void]

Align?

You mean put it in a T pose?

[ocean agate]

Yeah

[junior void]

Thats a fundamental thing

[ocean agate]

'Cause of how it moves with the skeleton

[junior void]

Eh?

[ornate stump]

You just align end bone to the head of child bone.

[ocean agate]

Absolute greek to me, let me see if I can get this down rq

[junior void]

I'd work with the cursor. Select bones ass, set cursor to selected, then select bone head, set object to cursor

[ocean agate]

The bones doubled somehow?????

?????????

[ornate stump]

You did it.

[junior void]

if you export it from blender and dont untick to add end bones...

itll add end end end end...bones

each time xD

[ocean agate]

I got it fixed.

Pain

[ornate stump]

Also when importing, there is an option to exclude end bones.

[ocean agate]

Oh?

[ornate stump]

You chose to work the hard way. So bare with it.

[ocean agate]

No need to be rude about it, it's good for me to at least try to learn how to do this stuff anyway.

-That said, I should tackle this on a fresh mind. I got time

[stray lintel]

how do i use

the islocal parameter on my avatar?

I want to make a camera render visible only to others, but not myself

Is there a option for that?

it's for a stage involving render textures

[ornate stump]

Just simple add IsLocal parameter to your animator and put it in transition condition.

[stray lintel]

I want to do the inverse of islocal

have it only display over network

[ornate stump]

Invert your condition to true to false and vise-versa.

[stray lintel]

ahhhh

ok

[stray lintel]

hrm so

would i have it set up as a bool?

[ornate stump]

Yes.

[stray lintel]

i want to be able to cull a camera so i don't see what the camera is rendering on my screen

[sullen frost]

If someone would be able to help me figure out how to fix these error's I'd really apeciate it

[stray lintel]

how would i go about using a culling mask

i looked up general unity help for this and i

've set up the masks like so

[junior void]

have a look at import settings of your avatar, check the rig config there

[ornate stump]

If you saw what camera see on your screen, that mean you didn't put render texture into the camera.

[stray lintel]

i did

[sullen frost]

Alright thanks

[ornate stump]

It shouldn't even display in the scene panel so that's really something else.

[stray lintel]

hrm

oh

pffft

have the camera on the default layer

[ornate stump]

I guess your ScreenFX shader is the problem.

[stray lintel]

hm

do i have to add a script?

to the camera

to make it network only and not local

[ornate stump]

No script. Every "script-like" system is made in animator controller.

[stray lintel]

ahhh

wait

could i use the mesh renderer?

to render it only for others, but not for me

[ornate stump]

It's essential to begin with.

[ornate stump]

This part is somewhat irrelevant.

[stray lintel]

huh?

[stray lintel]

wdym?

im confused asf now

I want to make it so

only others see what the camera sees

[ornate stump]

If not using mesh renderer, what are you going to use it?

[stray lintel]

Well yeah that's what im using rn

i'm saying is there a way to make the mesh render network only

not local

honestly feel like im just going in circles

trying to get this to work

[ornate stump]

I thought you already asked for to use IsLocal parameter to toggle it?

[stray lintel]

I did have a friend who was able to get this working for their stage

[stray lintel]

i made the parameter

[ornate stump]

Did you also make the toggle layer for it?

[stray lintel]

not yet

[ornate stump]

It's your toggle layer that makes the mesh renderer visible or not.

[stray lintel]

mmm

[vocal plaza]

so how do i make it where my hair isnt a toggle on my avi?

[spark zealot]

Hi. I got this problem with my twist bone and rotation constraint, that my bone got wiggle when I move other axis, even though I freeze both axis already

[ornate stump]

It's the inverse. Freeze mean it's being controlled by the constraint.

[ornate stump]

Do you mean just making a toggle?

[vocal plaza]

alot of my stuff wont world save even tho its turned on

[ornate stump]

Can you screenshot where you set it as saved parameter?

[spark zealot]

This setup is the best one I can do so far, as other freeze got bigger issue here

[ornate stump]

There is also Solve in Local space in advanced settings so try that as well.

[spark zealot]

That also make no different sadly

[junior void]

perhaps a beta issue?

[spark zealot]

Idk honestly, I just use VCC and get the version it suggest, and Unity 2022.3.22f1 is not that new, so idk

But, no, not a beta issue, cause Unity Constraint rotation also got error, so I think there's something wrong in my work

Aim Constraint give me better result, but it also gave me poly flip when the hand move up and down

[junior void]

Odd, works as intended for me

[spark zealot]

Might be the way I set my bone up?

I follow some hololive model bone setup, and they set the hand bone vertical

[junior void]

yea that would be why

[spark zealot]

And since the twist bones need to have the same oritentation, I also set it vertical as well

Yeah, lemme try horizontal bone setup

[junior void]

if you align it horizontally and center it with the arm bone, itll then move on the same axis (rotation horizontally)

[spark zealot]

Thanks. Lemme try it out ❤️

[grim heron]

Little help please

Idk how to fix stations on the avatar

As matter of fact. Do I even need them??

[spark zealot]

Yep, it's the bone direction

When I set them all horizontal, it works now

The only faulty is when I rotate X axis too much, this happened

But again, it's anatomically impossible to do this, so it's okay

But then again, why is hololive setup her bone like this tho?

[sudden marsh]

anyone? 👉👈🥺

[junior void]

sounds like you forgot to install a dependency

[sudden marsh]

dependency?

[junior void]

yes

sometimes people use packages like vrcfury for example

a lot of prefab/script errors could mean you forgot to install such one package

[unkempt canopy]

could someone help me fix a physbone not working that used to. im unsure what the problem could even be

[hasty river]

uhhh

when i parenting to this bone...

[cyan swan]

How did u parent the other half?

Also how do i add toggles and join model to another model using vrcfury without unpacking the fbx?

Also same with editing shaders

[ornate stump]

https://vrcfury.com/tutorials/linking-clothes

[ornate stump]

What do you mean same?

[cyan swan]

Like idk how to edit them without unpacking fbx

[ornate stump]

There is no need to unpack to begin with.

[cyan swan]

Oh ok

Shader is grayed out

[ornate stump]

You just have to create a material and put onto the avatar in the scene.

[cyan swan]

Oh ok

[unkempt canopy]

what cause is there for a physbone not to work when dragging the armature directly moves it? it used to work but at some point broke

[ornate stump]

Again, "create a new material".

[cyan swan]

Ok

[ornate stump]

Can you screenshot unity while you test it?

[cyan swan]

How do i apply to a certain mesh

Just drag on?

[unkempt canopy]

screenshot what?

[ornate stump]

Entire unity window.

[unkempt canopy]

sure

[ornate stump]

Yes.

[cyan swan]

Somehow i didnt notice this?

[ornate stump]

And what object that you select and move it?

[unkempt canopy]

the one I have selected Butt_Root

I have the original scene open before my edits but im unsure what the difference is

[ornate stump]

You're selecting the object with physbone itself so it cannot be moved.

[unkempt canopy]

im dragging the avatar with gesture manager

[copper hill]

I’m not able to check on my computer, but what version of Unity do I need for VCC? Asking for my sweetie, who’s just getting into uploading models for himself.

[ornate stump]

With gesture manager? Do you rather mean while testing with gesture manager?

[unkempt canopy]

wat

[ornate stump]

"Move with gesture manager" doesn't make sense.

[unkempt canopy]

move this object

in play mode

all the other physbones are working as intended

unsure why this is relevant

[ornate stump]

Just made sure that you're testing it in the correct way.

[cyan swan]

How do i copy
Mtl file out of fbx

Using ctrl c?

[unkempt canopy]

fair enough. it seems to me like some sort of broken link at some point but I have no clue where exactly. cause it did used to work

[copper hill]

Nvm I found it

[ornate stump]

Your butt bone has multiple child bone, so you have to make sure exclude the Contact object from being affected by physbone.

[unkempt canopy]

the Butt_L and Butt_R have colliders were already there unchanged

I added a new receivers also which during the process of doing that seemed to break it. none of the animations do anything other than change material textures so its not fx layer. also already tried deleting the reciever objects and nothing changed

[ornate stump]

How is the bone hierarchy look like now?

[unkempt canopy]

the same?

[ornate stump]

If you deleted it, it can't be the same then?

[unkempt canopy]

I tried that before then put them back

would the contact receivers cause issues?

[ornate stump]

Have you put the receiver objects as excluded transform for physbone?

[ornate stump]

It rather is the object itself, not the contact.

[unkempt canopy]

dont think so

is that under ignore transforms or colliders

[ornate stump]

Then do it.

[ornate stump]

It is.

[broken summit]

this pop up and i need help with it how do i fix it?

[unkempt canopy]

thank you thank you !

funnily enough though that only fixed it for the left one lol

[ornate stump]

You have to put the both side.

[ornate stump]

First thing, make sure that you're using recommended unity version.

[unkempt canopy]

yea I did both thinking it might be the child objects added those too

yea that was it

thank you so much for your help wouldn't have figured that out myself ❤️

[broken summit]

Thxs

[cyan swan]

NOOO

its generic rig

I just want to make a mesh move with another mesh

[upbeat gate]

Hey guys so setting avatar view position to how i want it does not transfer over to game when uploaded. "Shows my view down by my neck and not eyes" how would i fix this?

[cyan swan]

Like the prop moves with the mesh but is still seperate from each other

So when i remove, say, the hat and hair(not attached) and head (not attached to hair or hat) or the axe from upper back mesh

[ornate stump]

Besure to read the document carefully https://vrcfury.com/tutorials/linking-clothes

[cyan swan]

It doesnt remove the other meshes

Ok does it say a way to link two meshes

[ornate stump]

It doesn't because that isn't how a mesh work.

[cyan swan]

Istg theres a way to do in blender

[ornate stump]

Mesh follow its bone. So you have to move bones to make mesh move.

[cyan swan]

I mean join two meshes

But not fuse

Just have them move together

[ornate stump]

Then do it in blender.

[cyan swan]

But then it wont work with toggles

[upbeat gate]

Seemed to fix it by setting all to zero then putting it to correct position again "seems X.Y.Z Co ords were messing it up somehow." Will post again if it goes back to neck when im on vr in FBT

[cyan swan]

It will make both dissapear if i ctrl j

[ornate stump]

Mesh follow its bone. So you have to move bones to make mesh move. If you want multiple mesh move together, them make sure you move all the coorespond bone together.

[cyan swan]

Its a prop with a bone mesh

[ornate stump]

My answer is still correct.

[cyan swan]

Ok

Ill try

How do i get it to not float in vr

I can try ctrl p bone

In blender

[ornate stump]

How does it float?

[cyan swan]

I mean like im worried about that when i move my arm it wont move the armband

Btw im not bi its a comission

Not being rude just saying

Im not myself

Im ace tho

Asexual

Im testing it

Then gonna show off so i can show what i can do

[ornate stump]

I'm not sure how is this relevant to the current problem?

[cyan swan]

Idk just making sure

That its ok to wear it to show off my skills

Even tho im not bi

I could just remove the bi flag on my version

[ornate stump]

Better keep thing relevant to the current situation in order to not making it more confusing.

[cyan swan]

Sorry for going off topic

Ok

[cyan swan]

I mean like im worried about that when i move my arm it wont move the armband

[eager radish]

hi my avatar started doing this. how do i fix it? when i try to move it ingame the outfits all wonky

[ornate stump]

Better test to confirm first before getting worried.

[cyan swan]

Ok ty

[ornate stump]

What is wrong in your image?

[eager radish]

the right hand is doing the weird animation pose and its causing outfits to go heywire

this is when i enable gesture manager

[ornate stump]

Then you have to reset the pose back to Tpose.

Use Pumkin avatar tools to reset the pose.

[eager radish]

okay thanks

[eager radish]

hi is there a way to make a toggle for this?

[heavy zephyr]

Absolutely, just record an animation that toggles it

[crimson flax]

yes im in object mode, im not sure what you mean by transform pivot point? what do u use instead because ive always used the axis

[somber sequoia]

icon at the top of the 3D layout view, it lets you change the from where transforms happen, very useful.

[crimson flax]

uhhh which one cus theres a few

[somber sequoia]

and I mostly keep my selection from the tools popup (hit 't') to "select box", and use hotkeys for moving/rotating/etc.

[somber sequoia]

hover over these and you'll see a tooltip.

but yes, that's what's going on, you have that set to the 3D cursor instead of "median point"

[crimson flax]

is it the one that says global?? plz just tell me clearly im not very good at navigating blender

[somber sequoia]

seriously, hover your mouse over each one and the name of the tool will pop up

[crimson flax]

yea i did

im still confused

[somber sequoia]

and one of them says "transform pivot point" right?

[crimson flax]

i dont know which one om looking for

no i dont see that

[somber sequoia]

then you aren't hovering over the right one. It's the one that looks like a target.

[crimson flax]

THANKS

thats all i needed

[somber sequoia]

I strongly suggest looking at blender's docs on the parts of the UI and what they do

this one in particular is extremely useful

[crimson flax]

alr i fixed it ty

[slow panther]

i have a little hoodpull thing, it works in game but it glitches a little when it gets near 100 blendshape (like it flickers back to 0 when i pull it up all the way) if that makes sense

i have to be really specific when i lock it in place, is there anyuthing i can do to smooth this out a little

[heavy zephyr]

Enable or disable loop time on your animation clip

[slow panther]

oh i see it was enabled i try this out, thank you!

[inland yew]

Can’t find a good website with models cause I know if I try to make my own well yeah so just gotta find something

[mortal dawn]

does anyone have a video/tutorial they suggest for adding a toggleable hair to a model?

[ornate stump]

https://vrcfury.com/components/toggle

[mortal dawn]

so im trying to add a toggle to an already made model with its own toggles, but i dont think they used vrcfury to do it?

[ornate stump]

It usually should work on top of existing toggles. Except if you want to also mess with the existing toggles.

[mortal dawn]

im was ideally wanting to replace the already existing toggle

[ornate stump]

It depends on how the toggles was made then. This will go case-by-case basis and there won't be a tutorial for it.

[mortal dawn]

ahhh ok its looking like it might have been made with expressions manager

[ornate stump]

I have never heard such what's called "expression manager".

it's pretty cool, iirc not free though

[somber sequoia]

if those are not the only 3 errors, post the first 2-3, at the top, not the last.

not insanely priced though so i might just grab it XD

[ornate stump]

I can't help regarding that.

[unborn crag]

how do I find the missing script?!

i don't even know what the script is

[sharp osprey]

coming back to this problem since i was away, is this good for the bones?

[ornate stump]

The object name is written there. If you select it, it would show literally "Script (Missing)" component.

[unborn crag]

in the inspector?

[ornate stump]

Components are only shown in inspector.

[unborn crag]

Ah found it thank you Irumi!

[slow crane]

Hello, I was wonder if there was a way to find the face toggles when hand geastures has been made, as in vrc i cannot make the avatar do hand geastures to find which face toggle it is affect as I want to fix a mistake.

I am sorry if my question is difficult to read, i myself is having a hard time onto how to word it

[eager radish]

hi how do i know what my current total parameters are before vrcfury compressor?

[ornate stump]

It depends on avatar how its FX layer is made. You will have to look into avatar FX layer.

[half ice]

how to fix this problem after export To unity looks trash somehow

[mortal dawn]

(ignore this i am stupid and was trying to download the wrong version) do you by chance know how to use the expression manager? i think im having install issues

[frank nova]

Is there a way to have text appear for your viewpoint and only be seen by the one wearing the avatar?
preferably quest compatable if thats even possible

[ornate stump]

You could use IsLocal parameter to condition an object to only appear on either the player or other players.

[potent basin]

hey guys, Im finishing up a rig for a client but havent actually opened and used VRChat myself so I cant upload it to test it out
Im reading that you have to start playing to get verified for uploading, how long does it usually take?

[stray trench]

anyone else getting this error?

[left gull]

?upload

[flat musk]

You must obtain at least "New User" Trust Rank in our Trust and Safety system in order to upload content. You can get this by just spending a few hours in VRChat, hop some worlds, and make some friends. Give it some time and you'll be able to upload content in no time.

As an aside, you must have a VRChat account to upload content. That means you can't use a Steam account, Oculus account, or Viveport account to upload content like worlds or avatars.

[left gull]

additionally buying vrchat+ gives you a one-time bonus to your ranking

[potent basin]

ah gotcha

[left gull]

not sure on how big of a bump it is but ive heard if you're in the lower rankings it can be a full bump up

[potent basin]

I see

alright thanks!

guess I'll play for a bit

[stark meadow]

https://beta.jinxxy.com/Kudalyn/testanims you could also import some animations to unity and test it there!

[potent basin]

👀

[stark meadow]

i use this prefab a lot, and its free

[potent basin]

is there a resource to test if the eye tracking and mouth moving works?

[stark meadow]

im not sure about that beyond having someone with eye tracking test it

[potent basin]

ah damn, yeah that would make sense

[stark meadow]

i would think it's just eye bone rotation, so if that looks good in unity it should be good

[potent basin]

yeah it all looks fine in Unity so Im assuming it'll be good

thanks for this, I'll try it!

[stark meadow]

np!

[frank nova]

I've been meaning to mess with IsLocal, but I have no idea how to use it yet.

[somber sequoia]

No idea, never used it.

[ornate stump]

What have you found out so far?

[frank nova]

I've only heard of it's use and what it can be used for but never learned to use it myself.

[ornate stump]

Have you ever create a toggle with FX layer?

[frank nova]

I know how to make toggles, ive messed with constraints and a bunch of other stuff, just haven't learned IsLocal yet

Trying to take things one step at a time and learn things when I need them rather then figuring out everything at once

[ornate stump]

It simply is just another parameter that you can use.

Same way as those parameters controlled by menu.

[frank nova]

Ah, I think i get it now.

[stray trench]

anyone getting this?

it does have a thumbnail

[frank nova]

So just This and done?

[ornate stump]

Almost. You don't have to put IsLocal parameter into transition to toggle off.

[frank nova]

Ah

[cyan swan]

I tried testing the model in vrc to see if the arm moves with the armband, the arm aint even moving at all (none of the body is)

That dang unity didnt even apply my rig!

[heavy lantern]

i uploaded a burger king crown but the black part should be transperent

[left gull]

Gotta change the material to one that has transparency support unless you're on quest (it doesnt support transparency so you'd need to manually cutout the mesh in blender)

[heavy lantern]

i dont know i tryed on blender but i didnt find any way to cut the mesh (im new to this so im sure there is a way but i didnt find it) do you have any video tutorialù

[left gull]

not on hand but you'd just take it into edit mode and use the knife tool to cut around the texture

theres likely a few how-to's on how the knife tool works atleast

[heavy lantern]

thank you for the advise i will try now

[heavy lantern]

how do i remove the knife once i selected it

[ornate stump]

Just select another tool.

[dire dagger]

Does anyone know how to fix this pencil arm-

[white jungle]

looks like the bone is scaled to 0?

[left gull]

or a blendshape is active that shrinks the arm

[amber pivot]

😭 i really need help
this shouldnt be appering since 1. I compressed the textures in unity and used a online texture compressor. 2. my avatar was of two models of characters, i made them their own avatar without the others materials but this still appears and 3. my FXs is really simple, 4 ints, 1 bool and 1 float and last, my avatar (when made of two models) is only 4,486 triangles

[white jungle]

usually it's the number textures & materials that bump the file size, normal maps in particular

[amber pivot]

before i separated it into two avatars, the avatar had only 6 materials but now its only 3 for both. and i dont use normal maps like ever

[trim rover]

Is there a way to edit the viewpoint of an avatar via a toggle or animation? I'm making a silly little ferret avatar and want to be able to swap between all fours and standing upright via a toggle but want the viewpoint to swap with it so your view stays level with the avatar's head.

This is mostly just an issue because of how long the farret's body is

Silly little noodle creature

[white jungle]

would double-check how many material slots the avi has, make sure it's not using materials packed into the fbx + ones in unity? would also check the texture import settings, unity will tell you the file size for each.

[left gull]

you could try removing unused blendshapes if theres any on the model, those can take up alot of model space if theres a ton on the avi

[white jungle]

also what does the SDK 'builder' tab report when you go to upload the avi? should have some red marks in there saying to many X or Y

[amber pivot]

my model doesnt have alot of blend shapes, but i use ALL the ones i do have though.

[left gull]

any long/large audio files used? i see a param listed as songs

[amber pivot]

in the little avatar tab thing, it only has like 2 materials and i looked to make sure and its not using th packed ones from the fbx
and the file textures in the file explorder says are only like 9 kb

[amber pivot]

it could be that lowkey, im not sure because i made one avatar with 25 audio tracks on it but ill delete some of them to see if it works

[unborn crag]

The clothes are "moved up" like all of them when I export her into vrc. I use VRC fury. I did notice that the clothing bones like "hips" are up in her forehead. So would I need to fix the bones then?

[wheat spoke]

Hi! Just want to also a question about armatures specificallly the hair armature! I am making a few variants of hair for my avatar but I am unsure how to set it up. Do I have all the armatures together just as one even though there will be alot of clutter? Or do I make separate armatures for each of the hair options this includes front and back hair options and just have a bunch of them that I toggle? 🐟

[balmy barn]

id do hair root for each hair 'set' , can just scale that to 0 to hide and disable its physbones , have one av i can think of that uses that

[wheat spoke]

So keep it all as one armature with a main bone for each 'Set' which I toggle?

[strange saffron]

It looks like the sleeves are weighted too heavily on the shoulder bone, hence the sleeves looking like they are moving up. This could be an error caused by trying to transfer weights while the model is in T pose

Since the shoulder would be closer in proximity to those sleeve vertices

[dire dagger]

Does anyone know how to fix the thing with the skin ? Sorry I’m new to unity

[wise swan]

What thing do you want fix on you need to specify

[dire dagger]

Her skin is coming out of her head like it’s stretched out

[wise swan]

Does it happens in Unity, VRChat, or both

[left gull]

that looks like improper weightpainting or an issue with bone parenting

[wise swan]

That issue is caused by improper weight painting or wrong bone parenting.
Some head vertices are likely weighted to the wrong bone (like the neck or spine), or the head bone is mis-parented.
Fix it by checking the avatar in Blender, correcting the weight paint so head vertices belong only to the head bone, and ensuring the head bone is properly parented under the neck. Then re-export and re-import into Unity.

Just curious if anyone can follow up or confirm if this sounds right? also just curious about uploading the avatar the Sdk says i have too many bones at 222 and should be closer to 75 but that doesn't seem possible whilst having good hair rigging and multiple options do I just ignore it and if so what would a good bone limit be?

[gritty forge]

when uploading an avatar file it'll get to upload 100% and then fail suddenly with these errors

[jagged marlin]

hey, im using poi with 2 layers of transparency and am having the issue that one of them always intecepts the other and makes it invisible when playing around with the render queue

what options do i have to remedy this? thanks in advance

[wise swan]

The upload fails because the script IkeHUDVersionVerificator tries to parse an invalid version string (like an empty or malformed value). This causes a FormatException in System.Version.Parse(). Fix it by validating the version strings before parsing or ensuring they’re in a proper format like "1.0.0". Once corrected, the upload should complete successfully.

[gritty forge]

why is it affecting my current avatar upload if that file isn't actually on this avatar just in the project???

[wise swan]

Even though the IkeHUDVersionVerificator script isn’t directly tied to your avatar, it’s Editor code — meaning it runs automatically whenever certain Unity editor events happen (like build, validation, or upload).

So when you upload your avatar, Unity executes all editor scripts that hook into things like:

OnPreprocessBuild

OnPostprocessScene

Update() inside an EditorWindow

or any custom “verificator” logic tied to InitializeOnLoad

That IkeHUDVersionVerificator likely registers one of those callbacks, so it’s being triggered during your upload process. When it crashes with the FormatException, it interrupts the whole chain — which causes your upload to fail even though it’s not part of the avatar itself.

[wise swan]

Either fix or temporarily disable the version verifier script (e.g., wrap its logic in a try/catch or comment out the callback registration). Once that script stops throwing errors, your avatar upload will finish normally.

[gritty forge]

i removed ike from my assets since after updating it it was still brokeand tried uploading again only to be met with this singular error

[lime frost]

https://www.reddit.com/r/VRchatAvatars/s/6kfwzEIrlh
The horror, I actually made a reddit post trying to figure this shit out

I need to figure out how to disable blinking and eyelook with an animation/toggle

I plan for my avatar to have multiple blinking animations to toggle between

So I really need help with this

[slow crane]

Thank you, how do i find the avatar fx??

okay wait i think i found a thing called FX but im not seeing an option to like change face expressions via hand geastures thing

[cobalt zephyr]

what setting do yall use when importing and exporting stuff?
i wanna change a cloth's overall shape to fit my avi but whenever i do that when i save the file it goes wrong

and aparently its probably due to import/export settings

[left gull]

change ur export settings scaling to FBX all iirc (and get rid of leaf bones)

[left gull]

these 2

[lime frost]

What about the eyelook?

That's the one I'm really stuck on

[lime frost]

[spark dew]

Its taking way too long to building avatar

its stuck at 0 percento

[queen cedar]

I made multiple projects even opening already finished avatar projects. However the Hands layer and defaults are missing. What happened? Is it on my end or..

[potent basin]

ended up just doing this, got uploading permissions almost immediately after 👍🏾

[gritty forge]

please include the list on the left of the assets section to confirm whether the sdk is properly imported or not, such like this

anyone got a fix for this? even a brand new project throws this error for me

[hollow gust]

Can someone help me with this avatar

[spark dew]

Its taking way too long to building avatar
its stuck at 0 percento

[timber wharf]

@queen cedar you search defsults to in assets. bundled sdk stuff is in project section for any vcc project

@spark dew its stuck🤷‍♂️

[spark dew]

Its been like this for a hour

[spark dew]

do you know da fix

[timber wharf]

@spark dew i dont but for sure start with closing your unity. ofc diff pcs and avatars happen but any vr capable pc should not take more that 5min to upload the heaviest avatar

@dull sable and it should why? show FX layer.

[spark dew]

Still the same

I had this issue for months but still can't figure out the problem

[scarlet steppe]

Does anyone know a good emily from hazbin hotel avatar?

[dull sable]

what you need to see in fx?

[soft aurora]

quick help needed

im trying to add a guitar pick to a hand through an animation but the hand bones wont animate with this message popping up

[queen cedar]

That’s why I’m saying it’s not there anymore there isn’t even an sdk folder

[queen cedar]

Yeah nothings on the left, there’s no sdk folder anymore even tho I can access the sdk control panel

[cyan swan]

I tried testing this model in vrc to see if the arm moves with the armband, the arm aint even moving at all (none of the body is)

[left gull]

is the model weightpainted to the armature properly?

[gritty forge]

did you use creator companion or an equivalent program?

[queen cedar]

creator companion

it js started randomly

Like an old project has it but no new ones I make haave it

[night ember]

You need to weight paint it

[queen cedar]

its alr updated, I tried updated aan non updated neithr work

[cyan swan]

Oh thought that was just so it wouldnt bend wrong

[queen cedar]

Its never been likee this, I js dont know why its not aappeaaringg

[cyan swan]

Could i do automatic weight

[night ember]

No weights no movement
How is the bones supposed to move it if nothing is weighted to them

[gritty forge]

remove with the - on the right tab into unity to make sure it updates the packages and then add it back

[night ember]

Thats very 50/50

[cyan swan]

I thought by weight it meand how heavy something is

[night ember]

No?

[queen cedar]

I alr tried everything u suuggest

[queen cedar]

This is strange tho bc even my projects ive used before dont have it anymore so

Like a project from months ago is now missing the default param, menu, an fx

[queen cedar]

alr did, I said this

Thats why I said it doesnt change anything

[queen cedar]

I aalr know this as thee screeenshot shows I did that

Is it just me experieencing this?

Im missing lots of packages that I js cant see I think, considering yk cant find any folders for the sdk

[gritty forge]

can you right click any of the folders that do exist in the packages section and open in explorer then check if there is a meta file for the sdk in there?

if it exists remove it

[queen cedar]

no folders

theres literally nothing in my project

except for an xr folder

[gritty forge]

can you show me your creator companion?

[queen cedar]

which isnt normal

[queen cedar]

I did in this @gritty forge

[gritty forge]

that is not the creator companion

[queen cedar]

@gritty forge

[gritty forge]

also i would not recommend leaving those to stay in appdata folder

it might help if i could watch your stream as you do this.

[queen cedar]

Its nothing new to mee

[gritty forge]

right. i'm not saying you are. just that troubleshooting is faster with voice and immediate feedback

[queen cedar]

No I know

[gritty forge]

so that packages folder what is in it?

[queen cedar]

Im js multi tasking

[queen cedar]

this

[gritty forge]

wait so it says these packages exist for you but they aren't showing up in unity eh???

can you remove them and restart the unity instance and tell me when it finishes loading?

[queen cedar]

yeah I did when u hadd me remove it aand aadd it bck, nothing hppeened

[gritty forge]

so you waited to add the assets back until after unity finished loading? or did you just remove and then add and then reload?

because you need to reload before adding it back so unity knows they don't exist anymore

[queen cedar]

I removed, wnt back to unity n saw it load, went back to creator compnion to add, weent back to unity let it load again

[gritty forge]

and you've removed all text from your asset search bar right?

[queen cedar]

this?

[gritty forge]

correct. what package name does it tell you in the top left?

[queen cedar]

top left of what, cz theerees no packages

[gritty forge]

hit that

[queen cedar]

ok I see th packaages now lemme check if anything theree now

YESS

mb

@gritty forge Thank youuu

Can someone help me with this avatar

[polar obsidian]

Hey so I do have a general question, is there an easy way to change the resting post of the avatar on PC so that the arms dont clip if the avatar is particularly wide?

[night ember]

Thats just the locomotion layer

[polar obsidian]

Yeah but how do I change it? Did someone make one that has a wider arm pose? Im also using gogoloco.

[night ember]

Thats up to finding it in go loco and swapping the animation

[polar obsidian]

Well is there an animation somewhere that has a wider arm position?

[night ember]

Thats up to the avatar there isnt a 1 animation fits all

It only takes a second to go into the animation and changing a number

[polar obsidian]

Oh just a number?

[night ember]

Yea?

Its just a value between 0 and whatever

[polar obsidian]

I thought it would be multiple frames in an animation that's understandable.

[night ember]

Its just a standing pose

No need for multiple frames

[potent basin]

hey guys, is there an easy way to replace the model for an avatar while keeping the same VRC Avatar Descriptor and Components (like Physbones parameters?)

[somber sequoia]

copy it over to the new one using Pumkin's tools

[potent basin]

installing Pumkin's tools right NOW

thanks

[stray lintel]

how do i fix this issue?

[ornate stump]

What even is the issue?

[stray lintel]

angle between pelvis and thigh

nvm i fixed it

turns out i had my rig import settings set to armature instead of hips

[tardy locust]

Anyone know why sometimes when I export from blender, my arms and other parts of the mesh are stretched into infinity? And in game, it all gets stuck at a global position in the world

[ornate stump]

In the future, you have to point out the issue as well. Other wise people will have to do guessing game trying to find out what is wrong in your image.

[stray lintel]

oki doki

[ornate stump]

Looks like it's missing some bones.

[tardy locust]

Hm... I'm deleting some bones before export, but, they're not actually used

[ornate stump]

If you had your model "unpacked" in the scene, that's the root cause.

[tardy locust]

It's still packed in unity. You mean the prefab, right?

[ornate stump]

Is it as fbx prefab or original prefab?

[little plume]

I saw an avatar with a working combat system, and im wondering how it works. It had the ability to choose teams, shoot at deal damage that lowers a healthbar,and respawning. I wondering how this can be done, since im currently working on making tf2 avatars with functional weapons

Having actual red v blu functionality with it too would be peak

[tardy locust]

I've been using the original prefab for the avatar and I've just been replacing the FBX in the project. Hasn't had a problem before...

Lemme try exporting without deleting the bones and just removing them in unity

[little plume]

Instead of a healthbar for all players tho id like it to be on a hud of the player wearing it, and the other players see a particle saying how much damage was dealt

[ornate stump]

Unpacking causes the object in the scene to no longer link to its original data. Especially skinned mesh bone which will mess up if you edit the fbx file to change bone structure. Original prefab also doesn't have link to the original FBX file.

[tardy locust]

Well, I don't know how he set it up, but it's not unpacked and I am just replacing the FBX file

And, exporting it without deleting those bones worked... And they still don't show up in unity. I guess it's not reimporting them since I deleted them the first time. 🤔

[ornate stump]

If you see object icon as solid blue cube, that's original prefab and is equivalant to unpacking fbx prefab.

[ornate stump]

That's prefab variant and you have to see what prefab it derived from.

In the inspector, under the object name field..

[tardy locust]

You mean this?

Cause it looks like it just links to itself

[ornate stump]

Yes. It isn't possible to link to itself. It's more like another prefab with same name.

[tardy locust]

I found it, it just links to the FBX file I've been replacing

[ornate stump]

Does it? Then click on Overrides and revert skinned mesh renderer on the object that got stretched.

[tardy locust]

Oh, I said I fixed it by not deleting those extraneous bones before I exported

I just have no idea why that breaks it since none of them are referenced or used in unity

[ornate stump]

That's how skinned mesh renderer work. It has a list of bones. If list of bone changed, eg, some of them being added or removed, and the object is no longer link to update with the new bone list, that will mess thing up.

[tardy locust]

Wait... That still doesn't make sense, because I deleted the mesh they were attached to, too.

[ornate stump]

Bone list consists of every object in the fbx file.

[tardy locust]

Where do I see that then?

[ornate stump]

It's hidden. You have to write a script to see it.

[tardy locust]

Ah, that's probably the problem then...

Well, either way, thanks, I can deal with it in the future now

[hollow mountain]

Trying to make a new animation clip, but it's simply greyed out for doing anything, how do I fix this?

[timber wharf]

@hollow mountain clips belong to animator. so select your avatar first

[hollow mountain]

Kinda confused. My avatar has no animator by default. If it's not too much trouble I could call and screenshare.

I'm also just trying to fix an animation clip inside a prefab, a harness for the Bennet.

[hollow mountain]

Mind helping me?

[timber wharf]

every avatar has animator, you cant upload without it having avi definition. clips are made relative to it (so, an object with animator is a root for searching animator properties).

as for prefab, since with vrc you cant control sub animators, youd have to add it to avatar first

[hollow mountain]

Nvm I figured it out.

[dull notch]

hi! im still super new... im kitbashing my own avi right now and i currently am at the part of physbones.

i still dunno what an animator is and in blender, i thought there was already physbones? could anyone tell me how they get their physbones connected? something abt roots idk

[heavy zephyr]

Click on the objects under 'Physbones' and look at the inspector window, that should show you the component

[dull notch]

umm ok wait no i made the physbones object cause the hair said thats what i should do

im using the zin fit base i wanted to know if theres like a way to get the phys bones transferred?

[heavy zephyr]

If physbones are already here you should be able to see them either by turning on gizmos or selecting the hair in your armature

[dull notch]

my hair has the physbones but im js wondering abt the clothes and stuff...

[heavy zephyr]

Same logic, if they already have something, you'll see it by selecting them. If you want to add some yourself, you can create new objects/components and link them to the bones you want to be affected

[dull notch]

so uh gismos is kinda bright

[dull notch]

hmmm ok

[heavy zephyr]

Looks like the collision size on them is too big

[dull notch]

i only have phys bones on the hair i think

theres no scripts on the armature

[heavy zephyr]

You can reduce it by a factor of 10 or 100 even

[heavy zephyr]

Then you'll need to add your own

[dull notch]

aahh i seeeee

-# if im using a base would there be a chance i could copy from a template?

[heavy zephyr]

A base is just that, a base mesh.

Usually only full avatars come with everything premade

[dull notch]

ouh...

[heavy zephyr]

[ocean berry]

I have a model that has VTA vertices should I keep or remove them?

[night ember]

What are "vta vertices"

[ocean berry]

Vertex Transformation Animation

[night ember]

Do what

[ocean berry]

animation it says in the name

but better question, would I need them for vrchat or even if unity supports them

[night ember]

The only thing about vertex transform animation that popped up when I googled was about valve

[ocean berry]

than I assume it's unneeded

[gritty basin]

i put everything into blender and merge armatures, but ive ran into an issue with a certain hair root bone on a hair i was using.... wondering if anyone here would know what's wrong, in the vertex groups its fbx doesn't have a root bone, and when you use the hair prefab a script called phys bone root script seems to get created and i'm guessing that's what makes the prefab not have this issue, but for me i've merged the armatures and copied the physbones so i guess that doesn't pop upsomehow.... anyway since there's no weights that come with it, and adding a flat weight of 1 to the bone makes the physics not act normally, i'm abit lost on how to fix this

any ideas -w-

[stray lintel]

why are my toggles not working

[mighty basin]

does anyone here use 3D substance painter?

[stray lintel]

my toggles won't work... nothing works T_T

[ornate stump]

Does your animator controller actually get merged in FX layers?

[gritty forge]

still looking for anyone that knows how to fix this?

[distant sleet]

when i try to change this element in play mode it doesnot change

[ornate stump]

Tried to change by manually set the material there?

[ornate stump]

That means the material slot is being animated material swap.

[distant sleet]

how can i remove that

[ornate stump]

Remove any layer in fx controller that does the animation.

[gritty basin]

fixed it, i selected all unweighted parts of the hair and made a new vertex group in blender, set the weight to 1 and suddenly it works like the prefab that magically worked without weight for the root bone, go me -w-

[distant sleet]

here?

[ornate stump]

Yes.

[distant sleet]

but how should i know which one is the problem?

like one of them?

[ornate stump]

Just see what animation is in each layer.

[distant sleet]

i couldnt figure out the one

[ornate stump]

I can't help either since you have to look for all yourself.

[hazy quest]

How do you deal with skirt clipping?
What are some of the ways to remove skirt clipping?

[willow urchin]

Hey so, I have a giant pic of my avatar head on screen, it's in the way, when i'm on VRchat howdo i get rid of it?

[ornate stump]

It's like because of the extra camera object in you avatar.

[willow urchin]

It's all good, I figured it out 😁

[rocky fractal]

anybody knows why this isnt working , it was working then it stopped

[ornate stump]

Did you actually merge the pcss controller to fx layer?

[rocky fractal]

i had too

[ornate stump]

Also many nsfw features is really concerning.

[rocky fractal]

it wwas working then it stopped working

[unborn crag]

Hmm is there any good videos on how to put on clothes?? I look all over youtube but something always seem to fail anyways, even if I follow step by step

[ornate stump]

What did you do prior it stopped working?

[rocky fractal]

just change a material

[ornate stump]

What if you change it back?

[rocky fractal]

everything else still works like the lighting

[stray lintel]

lemme check

everything is synced

[ornate stump]

It isn't about syncing. Isn't your parameter name "Stage"? Does it even exist there?

[stray lintel]

yup

[ornate stump]

Where is it?

[stray lintel]

the very end

the parameter is called playground

[ornate stump]

I don't see any parameter named "Stage".

[stray lintel]

not stage

[ornate stump]

Explain this?

[stray lintel]

idk what controller that was on

idk what controller that was on

[stray lintel]

mk i'll try merging it and see if anything happens

nope

nothing

[ornate stump]

From your video it rather seems you had multiple problems on top of each other..

[stray lintel]

?

[ornate stump]

Does the animation clip also working?

[stray lintel]

no it says game object are missing depite it being on the avatar root

[dull sable]

Still need help with this

[ornate stump]

That's one of the issue.

[stray lintel]

huh

so i have to reanimate everything essentially

fuck

[ornate stump]

Problem likely because of you renamed the object after recording animation.

[stray lintel]

I didn't touch any game objects

[ornate stump]

Does your avatar still have any object named "GameObject"?

[stray lintel]

no

[ornate stump]

So where are the animation path with GameObject in the name from?

[stray lintel]

was never in there

it was always named "stage"

[ornate stump]

So it had to be from somewhere.

[little plume]

bumping

[somber sequoia]

is this the only error you have? If not, post the summaries of the first 2-3, this one is pretty useless on its own.

[somber sequoia]

contacts

[little plume]

How would I track health though?

Ik it uses contact receivers

[somber sequoia]

variable in the animator you manipulate with VRC Avatar Parameter Driver

[little plume]

And for my health markers particles should work right?

[somber sequoia]

I have no idea what you might mean here

[little plume]

When you shoot somebody in tf2 there are damage markers

[somber sequoia]

okay

I don't think I've seen the game in 15 years

hmm technically I do actually have orange box for 360

[little plume]

Actually how am I going to do distance based damage 🤔

[gritty forge]

It's the only one

[somber sequoia]

any red blocker messages in the build console?

[stray lintel]

ohhhhhhh pffft i had my animator off

figured it out

[ornate stump]

It's enabled in your video.

[sweet crypt]

what am i doing wrng

[little plume]

what can I delete to solve this?

[arctic ginkgo]

That depends on a lot of things

Likely if you don't know what the parameters do, you will break things

You can try first using VRCFury's parameter compressor

[little plume]

this avatar has that kinda stuff and i dont want 90% of it so can I just delete some of those?

like delete the parameters and the toggles

bc i think this model already has compressed the parameters

[arctic ginkgo]

Yes? Maybe. Depends on if you know how to delete everything else

You could end up breaking features

For example, if you have a toggle that takes your pants off, and your remove the parameter for that, you could end up with your pants permanently off, and I don't think you want that lol

I don't know all the details of how your avatar is set up, so I can't really answer the question with specifics

If some things are added non-destructively (vrcfury prefabs/components), you should be able to safely delete those

[little plume]

Theres some im willing to completely delete

[verbal latch]

what do i do vro

[somber sequoia]

you'll probably want to explain what you want here

[verbal latch]

i want the hair to appear

on the actual toggle

[somber sequoia]

there are lots of tutorials about toggling objects, have you watched any?

[verbal latch]

yeah

i'm not using vrcfury

[somber sequoia]

ok then perhaps explain where you are stuck

[oblique hamlet]

Hi I need help with my avatar I need someone to just help me I went to VRC trade but they laughed at me saying that help was not free so I guess I'm here if anyone is willing to help me

[somber sequoia]

Sure, ask specific questions, explain/show, etc.

[oblique hamlet]

Basically it's hard to explain that's why I just want someone to actually call and be physically there to see my problems I explain it and then they say it in a way that's either do a tutorial or I don't know or you're going to need to use fucking blender I don't know how to explain that a t-shirt on my character doesn't want to move or I want to use a certain face emotion to put it on a toggle but I want to make it so it will also work with my other facial expressions that's all I got and then they give me complicated shit instead of actually being there to help me like physically help me that's why I got laughed at at VRC trade...

[somber sequoia]

oh if you're looking for someone to actually teach you real-time, I could see why they said that's not free.

[oblique hamlet]

Yeah

[vernal light]

how do i make it when its a contact and when i remove my hand it stays on the option and etc

[somber sequoia]

use two variables, one that tells you when the contact is active, and a second which is the actual one you use. The first one going active uses VRC Avatar Parameter Driver to set the second one.

great for making in-game toggle buttons

[vernal light]

so if i do that, for e.g.

a hologram selection dial that i place my hand on it turns, i move my hand off it and it stays on the option that i selected and then i place my hand on it again and it continues from where i left off?

[somber sequoia]

you could set it up that way, sure

[vernal light]

yeha but how would i?

[somber sequoia]

as I said, use the contact-driven variable in some logic with parameter driver to do whatever else you want with it

you'd need to work out the logic you want of course

[vernal light]

i dont know to set the logic that way

[somber sequoia]

make a flow chart, then convert that into an animation layer

[vernal light]

flow chart?

[somber sequoia]

sure, that's basically what animators are

[vernal light]

you mean a animation?

[somber sequoia]

no, the animation controller is basically a finite state machine, you can diagram it similar to how flowcharts wrok

[vernal light]

okay i just googled it

ik what u mean

but your just telling me the same sentence over and over again expecting me to figure it out

i can't figure out how to do what i've been asking for help with if your just telling me the words "make a contact"

how do i set up what im asking in the animator?

not trying to be rude

[somber sequoia]

You'd need to explain what you want in much more detail if you want someone to tell you the exact steps. I'm giving you suggestions and hints so you can go work out how to do this.

[vernal light]

but its a little annoying

[somber sequoia]

okay, happy to just wish you luck then.

[vernal light]

this is what i want

this is it

i have it all set up

but the rotation keeps resetting

also suggestions and hints.. thats not helping that just like a thirst trap for information yk

[stoic bobcat]

How would I add something following me? Like if I wanted to add a pet to follow me with walking animations as I move how would I do that?

I’ve seen some peoples avatars have things follow them with walking animations just don’t know what specific thing they did to do that

[somber sequoia]

VRLabs has a follower system, it works decently well for basic floating things, maybe can be adapted to include walking animations

[stoic bobcat]

I’ll try that out and see if it works for what I want, thanks

[raw oak]

So I put a couple of outfits on an avatar I bought. Everything worked fine until the body Physbones suddenly stopped working. The clothes move with the Physbones, but the body does not. I've never had this problem before, and I'm not sure how to fix it. this issue applies to unity and in vrchat.

[tiny spear]

im making a avi rn and even though the hand gestures work in the gesture mannager, the hands dont work in vrc. how do i fix the avi?

[raw oak]

are your gestures off ingame

theres a toggle in game for that

[tiny spear]

no

ive had other people test it to they just dont work

[carmine warren]

I have a question for uploads. One moment. So I’m at the gym rn not at home where I can easily get to my PC but I wanted to ensure myself of some issues at hand I was having. If I can find the Avi again where I bought it. It was from one of the new avatar official world places.

First off: for unity do I need a certain version or does all of it need to be the newest?

Noted: it has been over a year since I’ve uploaded so I’m a little rusty again

https://brn.booth.pm/items/6305948
It was this model. When I would go to unpack it as I would have last year it simply would state that “all assets are unpacked” but lacked visual confirmation inside unity of the 3d model. I am most likely sure it’s on my end of things.

[left gull]

you need a specific version 2022.3.22f1, unsure about that 2nd part but you should generally avoid unpacking a model at all if you ever plan to update the model/need to fix something on it

[shrewd stirrup]

how do i fix the hips on a vmd aniamtion not working or movig when converted to humanoid

[carmine warren]

I’ll update everything for unity to that then.

I will also try my best to leave the details of unpacking untouched. I have a friend who normally helps me and I try not to rely on others but between the updates and not uploading regularly I’m at a loss and stage 1 all over again. It’s a nice model.

$54 was not terrible, what is terrible, my unity skills. Used to I’d insert the main file, ensure everything was in. Hit my SDK and boom I was on my way.

I am unsure how much has changed from that.

[somber sequoia]

Ideally don't unpack your model, not sure why you would need to do that

[carmine warren]

Ah I don’t either. I’d say it’s been long enough I’m getting stuff I’m used to doing for new Vegas twisted. Which is a HARD thing to compare but I’ve been doing INIs and extracts a lot. Kinda overrode what I had known beforehand

Most likely if my friend is feeling down or out I can just pay someone to lend a hand. I’ve got 2 monitors so it won’t be a hassle in terms of having everything spread out to an extent.

[half stirrup]

trying to shrinkwrap some fishnets to my models legs, the asset is made FOR my model but whenever i put shoes on, the fishnet sticks out at the feet like a sore thumb because theres no blendshape to make the fishnets not have a raised heel
i tried shrink wrapping in blender, but its not working for me despite it looking like the simple fix i needed

this is it shrink wrapped

[pseudo quarry]

I can help you with this

[half stirrup]

🙏

been trying to get help the past few hours and im being told to just learn 😭

i never open blender for anything man

[pseudo quarry]

Okie DM

[half stirrup]

its a bot nvm oh my god 😭

[balmy barn]

yup you see a "dm me" its one of those

[half stirrup]

just messaged the actual person the bot was impersonating lmao

[somber sequoia]

This is because the top part of the sock sticks to the bottom part of the foot. You'd need to move the sock around manually so it's fully outside the feet, then try to shrink wrap it

[lone hedge]

Hey i just wanted to ask, on this avatar i am making i wanted to make a creepy toggle where the neck snaps behind him, require me to rotate the neck 180 degrees and move it slightly back to make it look correct. Only issue; I had just realized you cant animate humanoid bones and i was wondering how would you do this without copy and pasting the entire head mesh and roatating it that way because itll make the avatar harder to port to quest

[ancient adder]

you cant do this in the fx layer controller- you'd have to do this in the Additive layer

either that or gesture

[timber wharf]

@lone hedge humanoid bones can be animated. just in any other layer but FX

and with appropriate tracking control applied

[crude pumice]

Why are you trying to shrink wrap the socks when the mesh isnt covering the foot?

The socks need to postioned close to the foot in order for the shrink wrap to actually work properly.

[half stirrup]

i worked it out, i never needed to shrink wrap i was being told to do the wrong thing

i ended up being able to get the socks to have a blendshape to match the bodys feet but

i cant get it into unity properly

theres no materials, textures, nothing

im ripping off my skin googling everything to get it to work but nothing helps

[crude pumice]

Thats easy just use a matcap

And mask

[half stirrup]

i think i tried and the material didn't look like how it does on the original
unless i did it wrong

[crude pumice]

Are you new to blender and unity per chance?

[half stirrup]

blender yes 100% unity i wanna say like 50% new

been using it for around a year now but this is my first time trying to do what im doing specifically

getting the shapekey onto the fishnet was extremely easy
but when i import the fbx from blender to unity, its just a white model i cant do anything with
blendshape works tho! lol

[crude pumice]

Sooo the socks doesnt come with textures omly fbx?

[half stirrup]

im wondering if i have to import my entire model into blender?? feels kinda useless if im just editing one shapekey

the original file for the asset has textures and everything yeah

but when its in blender its just grey

[crude pumice]

No you dont
Just import the materal you have in unity onto that new FBX model thats white

[half stirrup]

im gonna have to redo the blender thing again since i got rid of it since it wasnt working hang on

so i have the model i wanna edit to match the shapekey with my body in blender, grey as usual, the orange bit is what i wanna edit a shapekey to which i can do just fine

[crude pumice]

I mean shape keys not only the issue.
You will run into weight paint issue.

[half stirrup]

the shapekey worked fine for what i was doing

the only issue im having is when i try to put the fishnets back into unity, its just grey i cant do anything with it lol

[crude pumice]

I mean thats normal

You just chuck the materials back on

[half stirrup]

i tried doing that and it didnt work lol

[crude pumice]

As long as you have not changed the uv maps the exisiting material can just be slapped on

[crude pumice]

Show me unity

[half stirrup]

hang on trying to get the shapekey back onto my asset lol

[dull sable]

I still need help with this. I should mention this is a png avi if you haven't noticed

[half stirrup]

see just grey

cant do anything with the material

[crude pumice]

Drag and drop the existing materials onto that socking

[half stirrup]

this is what its supposed to look like

[crude pumice]

Click on that . Select material and drag that material onto the fbx in the scene.

[half stirrup]

wont let me drag and drop

[crude pumice]

That will overwrite whatever material there is.

[half stirrup]

oh

wait

lol

omg

[somber sequoia]

If you can't get the right spot in the 3D view, you can drop it onto the material slot in the mesh renderer instead

[half stirrup]

i got it omg

wow

it was... that simple???

[crude pumice]

Yeah..... its that simple

[half stirrup]

wow

all that googling for nothing LOL

everyone kept shooing me off saying i need to go learn

i will forever keep this in mind

[crude pumice]

Wouldve been faster if you had asked ai
