avatar-help

[static bough]

So it wouldn’t even be a struggle

[arctic ginkgo]

not that kind, i mean massive textures, ridiculous amounts of materials and meshes..

idk it just bothers me. Even for PC, you should at least try to optimize a little bit before selling an avatar

[static bough]

Oh idk then. I personally don’t know why people care so much knowing it’s a UGC type game but at the same time i understand

[arctic ginkgo]

especially when these can go for like $60

[static bough]

But yeah if you’re selling stuff, at least have the option for an optimized version

[arctic ginkgo]

people just don't want to learn, but then save that for your personal avis, don't inflict it on everyone else by selling it 😭

[static bough]

Like yeah have this cool look cool one
Then have this nice optimized one for going to huge worlds

[vapid slate]

how to fix this

[arctic ginkgo]

select your FBX file, go to the inspector, and select the "rig" tab. Click "configure", then set the "hips" to your hip bone, and not the armature root

[calm hamlet]

hey ganggg ive been playing for a while and im just learning my way around unity and stuff

when there's a disabled asset like this in unity, it doesn't show up when i build my avatar with VRCC right

it's in my hierarchy after importing my unity file, i was wondering if it's safe to delete it or if i need to leave it there lest something break

i've built the avatar without changing anything and it doesn't show up so it's fine right

[somber sequoia]

in the future also don't clip error messages, it's way harder to help when we can't read the full message.

[somber sequoia]

if it's not a child of your avatar, it won't show up in VRChat.

[calm hamlet]

ok! i think it isn't since it's not nested under the other asset!

[somber sequoia]

right

[chilly solar]

that isnt specific enough

[night ember]

Click on the mesh and make the blink not 100

[chilly solar]

thats the same thing you just said :c

[night ember]

I literally cant be more specific

You click on the mesh of the avatar and make the blendshape not 100

[chilly solar]

nowhere when i click my mesh does it show the blendshape with a number value

[night ember]

The inspector window

[chilly solar]

yeah

[night ember]

Theres an entire blendshapes dropdown

[chilly solar]

okay thank you yippee

i indeed was not clicking the right thing

my friends im having a very hard time with the rotation of my fingers when they close. im changing them in blender and in unity, doing every tweak i can and i feel like theres just something wrong with how i did them in the first place or something. for starters, heres my hand idle and in a fist. very wonky. i only want to use 2 bones and i changed which ones it uses so it helps but (gotta get other pictures one sec)

heres my updated hand out and in a fist. its just so wonky? any tips here, is this a common struggle for hands and especially paws with only 2 bones i wanna use or am i just weird

[chilly solar]

why thumb twist??? this is not nice :c

[zinc willow]

Is there a way to put a idle animation on a item?

[foggy horizon]

Yea what kinda animation. a looping one or a play once?

[shrewd yew]

how do I merge this to the base

[somber sequoia]

weird, my discord isn't loading that image. What is it?

oh now it is - mesh or armature? Either way select new thingy, then select old thingy, ctrl+j to join

[sand mica]

In animation tab, My model was stuck at bike pose whenever I add new animation. So I asked here what to do and someone told me set the avatar to temporary generic so I did it and animated it. And now I have to link animation to the controller and when I drag and drop animation to the slot, it becomes bike pose again. and if I change the avatar to humanoid, The animation itself becomes bika pose....... why?????

[somber sequoia]

because the default pose for a model when doing animations in unity is bike pose

unless you're actually working on the pose, this won't affect you at all. Just select a different animation after done working on one and it'll reset back to normal

[sand mica]

So you mean the animation I made in generic mode will look bike pose back in humanoid, but actually will have the action I made??

[night ember]

You cant animate humanoid bones like that

Humanoid bones use animator keyframes not transforms

[sand mica]

Whaaaaat someone here told me to do it

So I can't use the animation made in generic to humanoid?? at all?? Cannot convert it??

[night ember]

Not really no

[sand mica]

ok Thanks for tellin g me. ..

[rotund solstice]

Hi. I'm trying to make a duplicate of one of my models that has specific blendshapes added onto it. I tried just copy and pasting the skinned mesh render and making sure the root bone and anchor override is on the right model but it's head is not showing at all in the actual game. it looks completely fine in unity.
should i just redo the whole skinned mesh renderer?

[night ember]

you shouldnt be changing that at all

[full vigil]

I keep getting this error and I already changed the skin material to toon lit

[somber sequoia]

must have missed one

[full vigil]

it literally won't let you upload at all if you miss one

it's letting me upload

but the skin has missing texture

and I changed the one it says already, there's no other thing called Chocolat_Body

[zinc willow]

i figured it out

[oak totem]

ive had this problem before, I fixed it by deleting some meta files, but now its come back and i forgot what i deleted. I tried to look up almost every solution, and im not sure what to do ;-;. And deleting said "missing scripts/mono scripts" does let the avatar upload but in game its messed up 6 ways to Sunday like the body is off center with the player view.

Can anyone please help ? ;-;

[somber sequoia]

you are missing a required package

meta files have nothing to do with this

it being there makes me think it's a physbone collider, but that would be really weird to be missing

[foggy horizon]

Kk

[oak totem]

so like uhhh..the prefab im using is broken or am i just straight up missing somthing?

[somber sequoia]

hard to tell from here, often it's because you didn't install some required package

like maybe it needs vrcfury

[oak totem]

i have vrfury on, ill just completely delete the prefab and start with a new one and hope that fixes it ✌️

[somber sequoia]

or check the documentation for the prefab, maybe it says what it needs

[wheat spoke]

I am having an issue with visemes I just want to move some around and this is a model i made with visemes i made and I have changed these previously but now i wont let me do anything with them like they are locked but i can still do stuff with eye look even though that is in the same section anyone have a idea?

[somber sequoia]

locked?

[wheat spoke]

well sorta it just doesnt do anything when i try and change them

[somber sequoia]

you can't hue shift white

[wheat spoke]

yeah i had a method with directly just changing the rgb values and then it changes between those but poyomi locks the shaders when you upload the model so it didnt work in vrchat when i went to test it

[somber sequoia]

re: locking, see https://www.poiyomi.com/general/locking

Also that "Color Adjust" section won't work without the main checkbox on it enabled

[wheat spoke]

cheers ill have a look also i know about the colour adjust i just had it open from when i tried it prior

also here a clip of the viseme thing if you happen to know aswell

[somber sequoia]

you must fill in all viseme slots

sil especially must be a blenshape that's no movement, it's "silent"

[wheat spoke]

yeah i want to do that but it wont let me change them anymore

[somber sequoia]

hmm weird

[shadow agate]

I'm trying to set up a shirt gimmick on my avatar, but it doesn't seem to work, the parameter animates in-game but there's no change to the clothing itself
is this being clothing linked by VRCF part of what's screwing it up?

[floral jackal]

Having an issue where in play mode in the unity editor a floating bracelet rotates and transforms like how I set it up in the animation, but only transforms and doesn't rotate in vrchat

If anyone has any ideas of what may be causing it let me know please, I have no idea what's causing it

Basically, it animates properly in the unity editor but not in game in vrchat

[floral jackal]

Yeah if anyone has any ideas please let me know, I really have no clue what it could be or how to fix it other than just starting from scratch

[chilly solar]

im having such a hard time getting my gestures to look right. they just look so awkward and im trying to tweak how far the fingers can curl in and flex out but nothing i do makes it look right. does anyone have any tips? i kinda just want to make my own custom gestures but i literally cannot find anything online on how.

[glass condor]

Hey guys, I just rigged an avi, applied all transforms to bones and meshes beforehand, exported it under FBX Units Scale, made sure the rig was set to Humanoid in Unity, made sure all the bones were in the right spots, and uploaded it to vrc...

only for it to be stuck t-posing when worn.

What on EARTH could be causing this issue!?

[junior void]

unity may have failed to auto recognize bones, have you checked the rig screen?

[glass condor]

says everything is right, everything is green in the rig screen

[junior void]

what about the rig tab before that where you click configure

sometimes messages hide there

[glass condor]

fr? I can check

[glass condor]

nothing off, and no errors in the project window...

[neat pewter]

This is an avatar update challenge. But it failed. This message appears. If I just fix this, will the update be successful?

The conclusion failed. I need to try again as a first-time viewer.

[junior void]

I meant the screen BEFORE this one tho^^

[glass condor]

all I see is "Joystick Disconnected" and nothing else in errors, and the default thing is fine

[junior void]

i doubt it says that in the inspector but whatever

the only reason why something would tpose is when humanoid animations arent played. why would they not play? bc something is wrong with humanoid rig or mesh names or animator avatar assignment

[glass condor]

the MESH names could impact the default vrc animations!?

[junior void]

yes, this is why i told you to look in the inspector window where you click configure to configure the rig

the msg about that would hide there in a foldout

[glass condor]

so if the mesh has names that don't match with the bones, does it cause issues?

[junior void]

exactly the opposite

[glass condor]

even if they're parented?

[junior void]

if any mesh exists that is named after a humanoid bone, such as "head" itll cause issues

[glass condor]

ohhhh

[glass condor]

all of my meshes are named "Sphere" tho

[dull condor]

Hello Guys, does anybody know what might be the issue on this?

[neat pewter]

This is an avatar made of vroid.

This is how it appears in the Unity game. Is there a problem?

[strange saffron]

Is it properly parented

[strange saffron]

My current VRChat model is not pixelated like this and is also made using Vroid as a base. Unsure what you did to cause that tbh. If all else fails, CATS Blender plugin and Blender, follow the steps in the CATS plugin before exporting, then export as fbx for import into VRChat

If you are using newer versions of Blender, there is a fork of the CATS plug in that is compatible with it, it's just the original wasn't updated to continue compatibility with the newer Blender versions

The version by TeamNeoNeko is the fork that is compatible with more recent Blender versions

If it's an issue with Unity, I recommend checking out the official Unity discord server as they might be able to guide you on graphical errors as I'm noticing the skybox is also pixelated

[ornate stump]

You are zoomed in Game view, that's what make it pixelated. You have to be in Scene view to actually edit the scene.

[ornate stump]

Your avatar model orientation probably is incorrect, as in facing direction of the model.

[floral jackal]

An update to this, it appears that for some reason animated objects that rotate just completely break if they're attached to a physbone. Testing the bracelet on any part of the body that isn't a physbone has the bracelet rotating perfectly fine, but once attached to a physbone it doesn't rotate at all. If anyone out there is interested in testing and seeing if they can replicate this or if they know of a workaround or if this is actually intended behavior or something please let me know.

[junior void]

checked 'is animated' on the physbone?

[floral jackal]

Apologies, where would that be?

Nevermind, I found it

Yes, it's checked

Transforms through animation still work fine when it's attached to the physbone, it's just rotations that break

So yeah, if anyone is willing to try and replicate let me know the results, it's still entirely possible that something random could be breaking it but at this point I have no idea what that could be other than vrcfury

And still strangely it rotates just fine if you play test it in the editor, it's only when you upload it to vrchat and view it in game that it breaks

[frigid glade]

I think you can rotate bones with physbones in with an animation. I remember I’ve done that before where I have ears that are rotated for different facial expressions so it’s definitely possible. Have you made sure you’re rotating the correct bone??

Also wdym by breaks?? Does it just not rotate the way you want?

[floral jackal]

It just doesn't rotate at all

I haven't tried rotating the physbone itself, but the bracelet that I have attached to the ear, which is a physbone, I am unable to rotate

[placid mica]

Any reason why my hair FBX would import to Unity like this, but it looks normal in blender?
1st vid is in Unity, 2nd image in Blender

Even after (attempting) to turn any kind of rendering culling off, nothing changed

[junior void]

looks like flipped normals

have you checked face direction?

[placid mica]

I have not. I'll check it real quick
I only recently learned of that feature

Well I'll be damned lmao. Thanks for the tip! I got them flipped now and it works ^^

[dull condor]

@strange saffron @ornate stumpThanks for the responses, Looks like I changed the bone roll value and that caused the issue when reimporting. It’s fixed now.

[azure thunder]

Anyone know how to fix the eye moving? I've done all these and some how in-game the eyes still don't move

[junior void]

do they move when you move the bones manually in unity?

[azure thunder]

Yesh

[junior void]

are they assigned in the rig configuration of the avatar?

[azure thunder]

Let me check

Yes it is

[junior void]

does the eye state preview above work as expeced?

[azure thunder]

Yes aswell

[junior void]

thats very odd then

[azure thunder]

😭

[torn crypt]

Make sure the eye bones are weighted, check if the eyes are separate objects from the head, and also check if the eyes are name correctly

[azure thunder]

Everything seems in order, I'll get it checked again

[solid kindle]

so hey im kinda suck with my avi im trying to figure out how to move all of the prefab clothing toggles into a seprate folder so its not so cluttered

[zealous gate]

What's the best way to fix physbones not syncing for PC and Quest?

[somber sequoia]

how are they done? VRCFury?

For the menu item name, you can put folders using slashes like file paths: foldername/itemname

[junior void]

why

[stray lintel]

how do i stop the infinity mirror

[stray lintel]

anyone able to help?

[somber sequoia]

never seen that one before.

[round quiver]

hi im new to vrchat avatar creation does anyone know why this is happening when I add phybones to my avatar hair the top of the hair isnt attached to the scalp and moves weirdly

[wraith geyser]

hi i have a strange issue, when i jump my character kinda over a little bit and move forward, like if i was using gogo fly or like if they where a collider i can sometimes even double jump. The camera also act weird similar to gogo fly very motion sicknessy. Also if the ground of a map isnt completely flat my camera can spin like crazy when my feet loose contact with ground for a second, it only happens in standing walking pose, not on crounch noor prone . I removed all layers to try to find the source of the problem but it still here

please help the spinning makes me dizzy

its not a joystick drift issue, it only happens with this avatar
could it be a glitch with capsule colliders and cloth modifier? i have 2 capsule colliders on both legs and 1 on hips, and the exact same 3 capsules as physbone colliders for the tail physbones, could it be some kind of conflict maybe?

[late heath]

is your component placed on a root bone that holds all the other strands inside?

[late heath]

if this is the case it could be because the multi-child type isn't set to "ignore", but that is me speculating

[dawn patrol]

How do I fix that?

[balmy barn]

straighten legs in blender would be my guess or its some idle anim

[balmy barn]

front/side , seen way worse then what you got 🤷‍♂️

[balmy barn]

bit wonky for my taste, you can try another version of it and straighten it

[balmy barn]

can see the lower leg pointing wierdly might be the reason it goes like your pic

[oak totem]

Alrighty i removed the model and then reimported a fresh new one and im still having that same problem. I looked to see if the author of the avatar had left any instructions and Im not "missing anything?" so idk 😭

[somber sequoia]

I don't recall the context at all

[oak totem]

i was having problems with the scripts/mono scripts on every single limb of the avatar

[somber sequoia]

oh, yeah I have the same answer then - that script requires some package you didn't install

[balmy barn]

must be a old thing or a converted one that leaves alot of wierd colliders

[oak totem]

i dont know what scripts or package im missinggggg ;-;

[somber sequoia]

yep, no way for us to tell you from here either.

I wonder if you could see something useful with debug mode on

[balmy barn]

and this avatar is from where and have no instructions?

[wooden nova]

how do i use aim constraints to fake ik for something like this without it seperating like the 2nd photo

[heavy zephyr]

I mean at this point either join it in blender or use FinalIK components

[wooden nova]

i tried doing final ik just couldnt figure out how to use it

[heavy zephyr]

Yeah it's not the easiest thing to understand-

[somber sequoia]

we have look-at VRC constraints though too, what needs finalIK here?

[wooden nova]

basically just the joints for the exo skeleton so it can move with the legs and arms

[night ember]

Aim at the end point of the joint
Then set it to object up and fuck around with it till its correctly rotated

[chilly solar]

Does anyone have any tips or help for making hands/paws? They never look right for me and take so much tweaking. Idk if im just not modeling them right or rigging them incorrectly.

which 2 bones should i use for paw fingers, the first 2 or last 2? :o

[pine patrol]

hey has anyone seen maybe a gogoloco (i think) addon that if you use the dances, other peoples avatars who have it too also dance with you? anyone know what that's called and where to find it?

[night ember]

Thats just a contact

[pine patrol]

yeah but I was looking at avatars that had a whole menu for it s oI wasn't sure if it was just like, it's own thing like gogoloco or not

[night ember]

Synced dances

[pine patrol]

oh thats it! thank you!!

I thought it had another name

[elfin falcon]

Question so I’ve been trying to turn a pmx into an fbx because unfortunately i do not have a fbx for clarent from fate and every time I convert the fbx and put it into unity… half of it just disappears like the back side is just gone

[balmy barn]

backface culling ? , shaders can enable so both sides are visible (even quest can now)

[elfin falcon]

Like just the model itself

You were right!!

Thank you

Oh my god

[lusty berry]

im new to adding stuff, how to i add accessories to avatars and make them move along with the body sliders? like normally it just stays in place and not moves with it

[unreal juniper]

Are you adding them with VRCFury? You can try adding a Blendshape Link option along with the Armature Link, but usually it has to be built for that base to do the blendshapes right @lusty berry

Or if you're adding them the "old fashioned way", you can parent them to body parts (like dragging a hair onto the Head of the avi's armature) or weight paint them in Blender

[stoic prism]

im looking for a bit of help but unsure of where to go for it, anything i try to import into unity just fails before the pop up comes up with this message and im not sure why, it was working fine the other day. if anyone knows anything i'd really appreciate the help

[somber sequoia]

always post the first 2-3 errors, with context, and those around them. A single isolated error message is rarely of much use

[somber sequoia]

that sounds very specific to that avatar

[stoic prism]

sorry what do you mean with context? that message is the only i get in the console

[somber sequoia]

literally the only one? huh, well that's not very useful 🙁

[stoic prism]

oh if i click on it i get this though

i have literaly nothing imported, its a brand new project, i made a new one because my other project was giving me the same error

if it helps this is all the console gives

again i have no clue where to look for help with this, i've tried looking online but everything i've read i've not really fully understood. like i cant even import poiyomi the import pop up doesnt show up at all

[tall sapphire]

Hey I'm having a weird issue uploading an avatar for Quest.

When I upload it for Quest, the avatar fails security checks, and I have to reupload the PC version of it and it will pass.

Also, It's constantly T-Posing ingame, but in Unity playmode it's locomotion is fine.

[unreal juniper]

Can you screenshot the SDK page for the Android upload?

[idle jetty]

Does anyone know how to make Edible items like food cause I can’t find tutorial online

[somber sequoia]

what does that mean?

[chilly solar]

ignoring the messed up weighting on the tail, why in the gogoloco crossed position are the feet higher than the hips?

[chilly solar]

Hey this is a tough ask but if theres any kind patient person willing to vc with me to check out my avi and help me with some problems id really appreciate it. Its just so many random things about the rig I cant figure out and nothing I google is helping me. :c

[unkempt sail]

Hi, i'm trying to figure out how to take an avatar parameter Float value, and display that number on the avatar. I know a tiny bit of Udon Graph for world building, but I've not got a clue what to do on an avatar.

[somber sequoia]

You'd need to find a shader that can display numbers, or use a sprite sheet of images with the numbers

there's no actual text on avatars.

[somber sequoia]

well that's fun, I upgraded my OS and drivers and now unity is mostly unusable.

[west fable]

hey im having issues logging into sdk it says i have too many failed login attempts from network how long does this usually take

[arctic ginkgo]

i usually would use lots of empty gameobjects with constraints to get reference points for aim constraints

you kind of just have to mess around with it

[wooden nova]

ok that might solve my issue

[pastel linden]

Is this security alert thing normal?
Cause it's telling me to update, but doesn't unity only use this version?

[ornate stump]

This only affect you if you create unity game. For vrchat content, you can ignore it.

[pastel linden]

Ah k, thanks

[night ember]

Basically just a code execution exploit for games that use this version
Vrchat was already protected from it

[light charm]

for some reason one of my avatars stop lipsyncing and blinking when i enter a world with a lot of people in it
why? and is this happening to anyone else?

[bright jackal]

I keep getting stuck when trying to upload in the Build & Publish window. No errors show up in the Builder window itself, but the Console displays the following messages. I’ve tried several methods, yet it keeps getting stuck at these four messages. Even after clearing the Blueprint ID and trying to upload again, it still doesn’t work. I’m not sure what the problem is.

[pale ridge]

is it possible to make a prop on an avatar detect if its upside down?

[junior void]

ofc

[lone shoal]

i have a camera on my avatar however it shows my avatar's face mirror, and i dont want to disable all self reflections - how do i make it hide the face mirror but show the player in a mirror?

[pale ridge]

...how?

[ornate stump]

What defies upside-down though?

[pale ridge]

rotated over 90 degrees from its upright position

[somber sequoia]

you can use a physbone as a tilt sensor

[pale ridge]

are there any alternatives that dont involve physbones?

[somber sequoia]

why?

[ornate stump]

Why are you against it?

[pale ridge]

trying to make it quest compatible and it already has 8

im basically just trying to remake the tube thing from the content drop for a friend that doesnt have vrc+

[ornate stump]

Use contact receivers, probably.

[ornate stump]

Contact sender on one head, another contact reciever at the button but constrainted only position.

[pale ridge]

no idea how to do that😭

im a noob with constraints

[ornate stump]

It's time for experimenting.

I only have rough idea but haven't done it since I always use physbone for that.

[pale ridge]

damn. id look it up but all the results are rotation constraint which isnt what i need💔

[ornate stump]

Probably position constraint that offsets from rotation pivot for one contact.

[pale ridge]

youd think something as simple as angle detection would have a component ready to go but i guess not

[somber sequoia]

but physbones do this

[pale ridge]

well im trying to make it for a pc/quest avatar and the quest side has 8 already

i can see if i can remove one but i still dont know how to do the physbone method

[somber sequoia]

yep, the usual problem of making avatars for a mobile phone

[pale ridge]

do i have to add an armature to the prop?

[somber sequoia]

no, just add a physbone component to it that points down and uses gravity, and use the parameter it provides to detect the angle from rest position

[pale ridge]

so i just put the physbone component on the object itself?

[somber sequoia]

sure

[ornate stump]

It's simple with physbone. But since you don't want to use it so it will be much harder way.

[devout locust]

I need help I'm tryna make my disko rex quest compatible but the eye lens has a pc shader and is greyed out so I can't make it quest compatible

[junior void]

the disko rex can not be obtained legitimately

[devout locust]

K

[fierce thunder]

How do i make a toggle using contact receivers?

i wanna make a hoodie that opens when making a fist at the zipper

[somber sequoia]

use the contact receiver's parameter and the gesture parameter in your animation transition

contact receiver detects the Hand tag

[serene cypress]

I can't find any avatars that r female and have abilities do anyone have any names or avatar creators???

[somber sequoia]

#1138520828556890214 but you'd need to define "abilities"

[serene cypress]

As I mean in abilities is powers to do in fighter roleplays

It's just no matter how hard I search or anything nothing pops up

And I always have to sit out of the roleplays bc I can't find none

[fierce thunder]

Stuck on the "gesture parameter in your animation transition" part

[fierce thunder]

do you mean making gestureleft also a condition?

[somber sequoia]

Yes, exactly that.

[fierce thunder]

alright ill try it ty

does it work for other people too?

when someone else interracts with the contact i mean

[somber sequoia]

If you have the contact receiver setup to listen to others' contact senders, yes.

[fierce thunder]

alright perfect ty

[crisp carbon]

Hmm, why cannot I not go into the Authentication option? Granted its been a while since I last updated my avatar, but its refusing to let me build and publish - I'm guessing my account isnt logged in at the moment

[somber sequoia]

you can't select that tab?

[crisp carbon]

Nope

None of them to be fair. Settings doesnt do anything either

[somber sequoia]

restart unity?

[crisp carbon]

Eeeeh lets just forget about this ok

Nobody needs to dig into this

[somber sequoia]

haha

[crisp carbon]

Wasnt in play mode or anything

Carry on

😄

[somber sequoia]

I get you 🙂

[crisp carbon]

nm, no pretty mirror for me! 🙁 😄

[modest kestrel]

so i added a new hair to one of my avis, and to change colors of it, it has a blendtree thingy, but im not able to access it to actually add my new hair so i can edit the haircolor on that one with the wheel? sorry im bad at explaining. but does anyone know how to add an object to a recordet toggle? if that makes sense

[somber sequoia]

not really sure what it is you have, can you take a screenshot or something?

[modest kestrel]

of what?

[somber sequoia]

something to show what "blendtree thingy" means in this case

[somber sequoia]

double-click the blend tree state and you can get into it to see the animations inside

[wintry ledge]

How do I add a pen to my avi? Or do you guys know any I could buy? Specifically looking for a green marker

[modest kestrel]

so how do i add my hair into this? or is it anything i can do with vrcfury?

[somber sequoia]

If the animations in that blendtree refer to a different hair you'd have to either put and name your new one exactly like it expects, or edit all the animations to affect a different object. Really hard to be more specific without seeing any of this.

[modest kestrel]

imma try first with this vrcfury material swap thing and see what i can figure out

[crisp carbon]

I have a fun one that has some interactions as well. The purchase comes with instructions on how to install too, but note there are free options available as well. Look for Hyperpen for info (not sure if were'e ok to link here) 😄

[chrome ore]

can anyone help me out getting gogo loco on my avi? it seems stuff has changed since i did it last. and also im getting an error where i am using a prefab with a missing script? idk

[simple hare]

did something with change how vrc counts verts of cloth components? my skirt has exactly 199... and the sdk also shows them as 199 and performance rank was correctly at "poor" ingame when i checked the last time.
but today i got suddenly nearly kicked from an event that required poor or better and when i checked it suddenly says ingame i have 318 cloth vertex?!?
if i only upload a local test build it shows the correct 199 and poor rank but as soon as i put it online it says 318 and very poor.
is there a fix for this?

[tardy grail]

Does anyone know where the vrc sdk examples went? I usually use one of the expressions as a base for my fbx and I can't find it in my projects anymore. has it been moved??

[chilly solar]

why feet stright normally but tilted in play mode

i tried resetting the bone roll for the legs because for some reason they were all set to 180 and i think they are supposed to be 0 but then i end up with this

[tardy grail]

I could just be the placement of the bones for that leg, are they symmetrical in blender?

[chilly solar]

yes they are :o

im replacing the leg bones rn to see if that helps

[junior void]

^they are always gonna be tilted a bit by humanoid animation

[chilly solar]

oh? why?

is this okay leg bone placement?

[junior void]

it just is

every avatar i have does that

[chilly solar]

is this real facts

[somber sequoia]

if you're using the VRCFury prefab make sure you've installed gogo loco and vrcfury.

[somber sequoia]

make sure you have hidden packages shown in the Project window - eyeball in the upper right.

[tardy grail]

Ahhh that's what I missed, Thank you so much :>> such a small thing lol

[dusk lance]

How do I change which Drive VCC lokks through?

[chrome ore]

Ah. That might be it

The site for the fury thing. I don’t know how to install it because it tries to use the content thingy that’s new? Idk how to use it. I’m still just using a regular unity project that has the SDK in it already

So how to I install fury

[somber sequoia]

vrcfury.com

[chrome ore]

i know. i just said thats the part i dont understand

the vcc im not using that because i couldnt get it to give me the SDK

so idk how to install it

[somber sequoia]

... but there are install instructions on that site

[chrome ore]

I know. That’s what I’m saying.

Those instructions don’t work. Because they say “just hit this button and it’ll go to the vcc

The vcc doesn’t work for me. Thus that button doesn’t work either

[cobalt rain]

guys i need help

i think i upload the sdk but idk

mabey the avtar is old or something?

i will try with another avatar

[somber sequoia]

Okay well if you don't use VCC or Alcom, that page does have a "click here for legacy install methods" link, perhaps read that.

[chrome ore]

whats alcom. never heard of that

[somber sequoia]

third-party, less-buggy, cross-platform replacement for VCC

[chrome ore]

ah

thx

[cobalt rain]

is that the vrchat sdk?

[chrome ore]

i tried vcc again and it did finally work
do i need to put the gogo loco object somewhere specific?

[somber sequoia]

for the record, I don't use gogo loco or vrcfury

[chrome ore]

ah. ok ig i will ask elsewhere then. thx

[somber sequoia]

no no, here is the right place, just saying that I'm not the person to ask.

I do know you need to use the vrcfury-specific gogo loco prefab

no idea what you are currently doing

[cobalt rain]

can you help me?

[somber sequoia]

with?

[cobalt rain]

vrchat sdk

[somber sequoia]

looks like whatever those objects in your scene are, they are missing avatar descriptors.

[cobalt rain]

what

[somber sequoia]

the error dialog you posted literally tells you what to do

if that's not clear I suggest watching basic setup tutorials, such as this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSwMz4WcajQ

[cobalt rain]

thanks

[chrome ore]

when i switch to game. i cant see the avi. is there something i did wrong

its in the scene fine

[balmy barn]

is this self-report?

might want to check where you got that model from

[chrome ore]

huh?

[somber sequoia]

Looks like a rip to me

[chrome ore]

idk, my friend sent it to me. im working on it for them since ive done avis in the past.

[balmy barn]

your friend is gonna get you into trouble

[somber sequoia]

well it looks like they stole it

you'll get no help for such things around here.

[chrome ore]

uh. ok? idk what thats supposed to mean

[somber sequoia]

Assuming that's what it actually is of course.

[balmy barn]

find the fbx of this avatar in your asset

[chrome ore]

isnt the whole thing the fbx?

[somber sequoia]

no, the whole thing is an avatar, the .fbx file is just the model

[chrome ore]

oh yea. fbx is the blender bit isnt it

[lethal thorn]

I'd suggest telling ur friend that ur not gonna help them with a ripped model

Bc that's a 1 way ticket to bansville

[chrome ore]

idk what you mean by ripped.

[somber sequoia]

stolen from the game itself usually

as in not bought legitimately

we support artists around here, not piracy.

[chrome ore]

i was under the impression they are free assets?

[somber sequoia]

dunno, perhaps it is. which avatar is it?

[chrome ore]

idk. i just have the unity project file.

[somber sequoia]

I guess we can't find out then.

there might be a clue if you open that Assets folder in the Project window, see what's in there.

[chrome ore]

either way. after this one i was gonna go back to ones i have made fully myself. and idk how to get them back other than thru ARC.

as for assets. the reason i figured free was cause poiyomi

[somber sequoia]

yeah that's definitely a ripped project.

[arctic ginkgo]

poiyomi is a shader, that has nothing to do with the assets themselves that are used on the avatar

poiyomi is free, yes, but the file structure and naming is consistant with ripped avatars

[chrome ore]

this is almost verbatim the way i made my old avi. it looks like the tutorials i followed back a few years ago

file structure that is

[balmy barn]

https://jinxxy.com/Jana_Inh/LinnV3

your friend told its free, that took me about a minute to find

[chrome ore]

cant literally anyone do that with a package?

[somber sequoia]

Sure, you could set it up that way, but if you look in Meshes I bet you won't find an actual .fbx file, which is something you could certainly do but there's next to no reason you actually would.

it makes things harder overall

but since the ripping process doesn't have access to a .fbx file you get a bare mesh

[balmy barn]

thats a very kitbash avatar slapped a price on it, ' i made this '

[somber sequoia]

which means the chances of this not being a rip are essentially zero.

[chrome ore]

you wouldnt find the fbx in my old one i made either tho? thats what i dont understand

[somber sequoia]

why not?

[chrome ore]

cause i didnt have any idea what i was doing and followed like 2 seconds of 50 different tutorials and got help from several discord servers to do it

[somber sequoia]

again, you could do this, but it's extremely unlikely one would.

[chrome ore]

if i wanted to (and still had the stuff from my OG projects) if i could get 27 bucks from that utter garbage avi i made, id upload it in a second for people to buy

so wdym

(not trying to be rude either. i know nothing about anything about this so just trying to understand)

[somber sequoia]

It really feels like you're trying to convince us this isn't a ripped avatar.

so I'll just wish you luck.

[chrome ore]

how? i am asking why you think it is. it doesnt seem much different from the first one i made. so idk what you see that makes u say ripped

[somber sequoia]

we already told you exactly what makes us think so

[balmy barn]

'free' model its jinxxy's , already lost there

[chrome ore]

but what i mean, is that couldnt anyone upload a free asset

such as the old one i made. i never put it anywhere. but if someone had gotten it. all they have to do is put it up for sale even tho i made it right?

[somber sequoia]

sure, anyone could steal someone else's work and sell it as their own

not sure where you're going with this

[chrome ore]

so thats what i dont get. if its a free one my friend found, then arent we good?

[somber sequoia]

If the avatar is offered for purchase from the creator, and their terms of service do not include "you can sell this as your own" then the one your friend got for free is stolen content

[chrome ore]

and what if its vice versa. a free one someone put online

[balmy barn]

got caught still argue semantics

[somber sequoia]

sure, if it was put up for free by the creator, there's no issue here.

[chrome ore]

so then why wont you help

[somber sequoia]

Thulen linked the creator's page for this here: #avatar-help message
It doesn't say it's free.

[chrome ore]

i understand. but im aking if its put up free, someone goes "hey. free avi, ill put it up for sale"

[somber sequoia]

is that what you are claiming happened here?

[chrome ore]

no. i am asking you

[somber sequoia]

about a theoretical situation?

[chrome ore]

is it no less theoretical than saying this is ripped?

[somber sequoia]

clear evidence says it is, you haven't proven otherwise.

[left gull]

everything you've sent screenshot wise shows the exact same signs a ripped model does + the "i made it myself" thing is what lots of people use to cover up their piracy in here :P

[somber sequoia]

yeah we've heard this all before.

[chrome ore]

i never said i made this one myself

[left gull]

well then your friend is the one in the wrong for ripping it, but continuing to use it/argue about not getting help for using it isnt any better 🤷‍♀️

tell your friend to go legit before their account gets perma'd

and same to you

[chrome ore]

how am i not legit?

[left gull]

pirated content isnt legit???

[chrome ore]

what did i pirate?

[left gull]

its literal piracy and illegal

the model you're trying to use

[somber sequoia]

That avatar. Do try to keep up here.

[chrome ore]

how did i pirate it if it was sent to me by a friend?

[somber sequoia]

you didn't pay for it

[left gull]

because your still actively using the files

[chrome ore]

this is the first time i have been told it might be pirated
do you want me to time travel or something?

[somber sequoia]

the right thing to do is to stop using it now

either way, this has gone on surprisingly long.

[left gull]

if you could that'd be great but since thats not possible just delete the file and get your friend to purchase the legit one if they wanna use it and if you've got other pirated content uploaded to your account/downloaded on your PC i suggest getting rid of those aswell

[chrome ore]

"nce thats not possible just delete the file " why isnt it?

[left gull]

...

time travel???

[chrome ore]

you dont have to time travel to hit the delete button last i checked

[left gull]

yeah you dont, i was making a joke of the "do you want me to time travel or something?"

cause like it'd be better if you never did any of this in the first place

[chrome ore]

do what? recieve a file that i had no way of knowing that it may have possibely been pirated?

[somber sequoia]

obviously too late and you can't change that

[chrome ore]

this fbx?

[somber sequoia]

I wonder why it would be named that.

also doesn't look like an avatar project, looks like a random folder with a file named .fbx in it.

[chrome ore]

blender

like i said. it doesnt seem much different from when i made my last avi that i made.

[somber sequoia]

Looks like that got exported from a Unity project, which is very weird.

[chrome ore]

i dont think you can export fbx from unity? i thought that was a blender thing

[somber sequoia]

you can (with add-ons), but there's almost no real good reason to do so

[chrome ore]

oh

well idk what to tell you. thats the FBX i have

[somber sequoia]

The bit with the gogo loco object there is what gives it away

[chrome ore]

that symbol is for a bone right?
or armature idk the right term.

could they just be having that there to put gogo to? idk how to do gogo.

[somber sequoia]

no, there's no reason to do that

[chrome ore]

is there a cloud or something for old projects that i did in unity and blender ? i could get my old avi project., cause afaik this looks similar to how i did that past one and tbh would like to do that anyway cause id like to change some stuff on it

[somber sequoia]

no, you cannot obtain your uploaded content from VRChat

[chrome ore]

i dont mean that. i mean is there a cloud save spot unity has or something.

[somber sequoia]

oh Unity has some stuff but I've never looked at it, I do my own backups. You'd have to have specifically set this up, and probably have paid for it

[chrome ore]

oh ok then. guess its long gone lul
thanks

[visual steeple]

Sorry peeps, im a bit stuck rn on my modeling, im trying to add a hair model from an existing vrmavatar, onto a vrchat avatar.

I managed to get everything done in blender and then the hair doesnt seem to stick to the head and floats staticly

Should I delete unused bones before I merge the armatures? Would that help?

[somber sequoia]

Yeah what I do is strip the new armature down to ONLY the added bones, then merge it to the avatar's armature, then re-parent the root bone for the hair to the head bone

THen of course you need an armature modifier on the hair object

[visual steeple]

Ahhh

Another question i got is, my old vrm hair has physx on it, but doing this in blender kinda breaks all of my hair physics, is there a way to preserve the physics?

Or do I have to make the colliders manually for the hair

[somber sequoia]

none of that works in VRChat, you need to start from scratch there either way

unless someone with actual .vrm experience has more suggestions

(I see Thulen typing)

[balmy barn]

only time you need colliders if you want it to lay over something otherwise angle limits

no colliders at all on that one

[somber sequoia]

yeah definitely avoid colliders if you can

[balmy barn]

so when you add it in blender set all the hair bones to either face toward mesh or away (or just all the same direction) bam you have a easy way to avoid clipping with angle limits

[rugged solar]

Why would an avatar that look and behaves normally in unity play mode upload like this to VRChat?

[junior void]

scale export setting not the same

[rugged solar]

Where can I find that setting?

[junior void]

in blender export settings "apply scalings"

[rugged solar]

should it be All local, FBX Units, FBX Custom or FBX all?

[junior void]

usually its fbx all but i cant say for sure bc it depends on what your original setting was

[rugged solar]

Thank you that fixed it perfectly! my setting was All local, which broke it

[grizzled crow]

hmm.. how do I set up animations and stuff to make it so my avatar purrs whenever he is petted in places? How should I set up the contacts?

[spark walrus]

ok so what the hell is happening here??? This is when I import the model into Unity. But in blender it looks perfectly fine.
(the leg)

it also appears to do something similar with the hair

[left gull]

could be because it requires transparency or backface culling to be off in your shader maybe?

[left gull]

ahh idk if quest has any shaders that give you that option.. erm you could turn on Face Orientation in blender and see if you can find and manually flip the inverted faces (red bad blue good)

[spark walrus]

alr lemmie try that

[spark walrus]

it doesnt seem to line up with what im seeing in Unity but maybe it'll work

[left gull]

huh, it should be turning your model blue in blender if the face is correct and red if its wrong/the backface

like this

[onyx owl]

Ye.... that's wacky!

[spark walrus]

huh

[bright vapor]

what could possibly cause this?

uvmap is wrong but the uvmap isnt wrong

[left gull]

Any unapplied modifiers when exporting (other then the armature one) or multiple UVmaps with different names on the same mesh?

[spark walrus]

Figured out where the leg went but idk whats causing this

[bright vapor]

no clue hhow to check that

i doubt that there's multiple UVmaps because its one big part with only 1 material

[void ginkgo]

my quest pro face tracking works on old pc but has stopped working on new pc

followed several tutorials and they arent working

feel like im missing something, can anyone help please?

[left gull]

this is avatar help, try making a post in #1138891887374237706

[onyx owl]

Should I keep this feature?

[bright vapor]

this seems more like an #avatar-general query

anyway i still need help

[onyx owl]

It's avatar help, and I need help with deciding (Just sayin)

[left gull]

look on the mesh in this tab for any xtra modifiers that werent applied

[bright vapor]

you've already implemented it, no reason to not keep it

nope, its just armature

[left gull]

hm

if its really the correct texture try pinning the UV and re-export maybe?

[bright vapor]

pinning?

[left gull]

select all the verts>right-click>pin

[bright vapor]

same issue

[left gull]

only thing i can think of then is mutliple UVmaps, id still check if you havent already just in-case

[bright vapor]

oh wow yep

that fixed it

[left gull]

not well-versed with animations but im pretty sure you cant directly animate your armature's main rig bones

you would have to mess with it through finding it in the "Add Property" thing iirc

[untold minnow]

I cant seemy physbones/bones whenever I look at my armature. I have it shown but I still cant see anything can anyone help?

[somber sequoia]

usually at the top of the scene view is a toolbar which has a button that lets you toggle "gizmos" on and off

[silver snow]

When can you vs can't you replace an FBX?

If I'm adding things to a model can I replace?

I know removing polygons used in blendshapes absolutely messes things up but don't know what else does / doesn't

[chrome ore]

any good way i could get something like this as a shirt for an avi?

[somber sequoia]

you could certainly make it

[chrome ore]

i have no idea how i would do that without it looking like a child made it in ms paint

[somber sequoia]

hmm I know I've seen someone with a hockey jersey though, that'd be a good place to start

[chrome ore]

whats good sites to find assets like that

[hollow idol]

Hey, can someone help me with some unity stuff?

[somber sequoia]

this is the place. provide details, ask smart questions, etc.

[hollow idol]

So, im trying to import a zelda model to a vrchat avatar, I'm new to that avatar stuff, so for me it's pretty confusing

I made the skeleton on blender and transfered to unity, but my model is with the eyes closed in unity and i don't know how to fix it

[somber sequoia]

how are your eyes setup? usually those are done via shape keys

[hollow idol]

its just like texture i just imported a wii model and put a skeleton on it

[left gull]

try Jinxxy maybe? at worst you could find and existing shirt asset> edit its textures and use a front-face screenshot to just drop ontop of the model's texture

ive had to do that for a few merch things i like but couldnt re-create myself properly

[chrome ore]

thx. i looked there but didnt see anything that looked good. but idk

[untold minnow]

I dont have it

[elfin falcon]

So does anyone know how I’d give a sword fire effects like as a separate toggle or Maybe lightning effects

[untold minnow]

where can I turn on gizmo setting?

[grizzled crow]

trying to figure out how to get a purring sound effect to toggle...

[timber wharf]

what ared the conditions on enter/exit

[grizzled crow]

hmm... im not sure how it should be set up..
I want to use contacts to make it so when somebody pats a certain part of my avatar, the sound will play

[chrome ore]

whats the current best marker for an avi rn

i am using vrc fury so if it will work with that all the better too

[dull sable]

Still need help with this

[obtuse bronze]

How do you fix this literally my avatar has no errors on it

[somber sequoia]

no idea how you turned that off, maybe try resetting the UI layout.
No, I don't remember where that is in the menus.

[somber sequoia]

if there are no other errors, go to the avatar root object, find the PipelineManager component, click the button to detach the blueprint ID and build again

[obtuse bronze]

but what if it's empty?

[obtuse bronze]

So here's the thing I went to the area that you said and it's empty now what?

[somber sequoia]

dunno.

[obtuse bronze]

-_-

[night ember]

That error doesnt tell you much other than blueprint id

[high tide]

Hi! I just recently combined by head mesh to my body mesh, but now there's an inconsistency in shading between the two. Ideally, it would be a gradient/smooth blend between the two. Any way I can do this? Trying to texture paint only affects one texture at a time

[night ember]

Ehhhhh

Generally youd only use 1 texture

[somber sequoia]

yeah that's really annoying to try to solve with multiple textures

[high tide]

They both have their own uv maps and textures, purchased them from a creator I like

:c

[somber sequoia]

you can get them together if you want.

[high tide]

How would that work?

[night ember]

Atlasing

Atlassing?

Texture atlas

[somber sequoia]

that's one way, yep

[high tide]

Hmm, maybe, I'll have to take a look at it

Thanks

[simple hare]

Does anyone know if there is a way to fix cloth component verts being counted wrong ingame?
They are correct in the sdk and as test build avatar but when you upload it for real it suddenly adds imaginary verts to the performance rank stat counts.
My skirt has 199 verts but ingame suddenly it shows 318 and pushes me instantly to very poor.
This is annoying and vrchat doesnt seem to ever fix cloth component related bugs because barely anyone uses it

Seems to be a new problem that appeared with one of the recent game updates

[misty scroll]

I want to make a flowey avatar similar to this how would I go this like stem stretch thing (it uses the gogo loco wheel fly to achieve this)

[ornate stump]

You better post to only one channel. Crossposting is akin to spamming.

[grizzled crow]

nvm got the parameter to work

[misty scroll]

Oh sorry I just wasn’t sure which one would be better to post in so I posted in both

[unreal juniper]

Might be a stupid suggestion, but have you tried changing the image thumbnail? I've seen it on two projects in particular I was helping on that changing the thumbnail fixed the "blueprint ID with no other details" error

[glacial vale]

Bought a clothing piece to put on an avatar, fitted it in blender, and have been trying to connect it to the avatar in unity but the armatures are just not linking at all and i have no clue why

[quasi fable]

Hey I'm new to all this stuff and I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this issue.

I added some physbones to my avatar's jacket, but they don't seem to have any effect. I've done this previously on the tie and hair and had no issues there.

oh wait

how do i make the video file visible in discord lmao

1 sec

[ornate stump]

MP4. Not mkv.

[quasi fable]

ah

[ornate stump]

This rather look like the jacket isn't weight painted to the bones.

[grave ruin]

i noticed my avatar pens breaking since i started using vrcfury, i suspect it has to do with it trying to fix write defaults automatically which breaks the pens own animation infrastructure.
To be precise the one i have been using until now cant be erased anymore and the control trigger thats supposed to make it draw doesnt work anymore making the pen draw constantly upon spawning it.

[ornate stump]

Probably vrcfury tries to fix write defaults in some way and that cause the issue to your pen.

[grave ruin]

how can i exclude the pen from the autofixing though

[ornate stump]

I don't think you can exclude anything because it has to apply to the entire avatar.

[grave ruin]

so whats the solution?

[ornate stump]

Other than just disable autofix write default entirely.

[grave ruin]

after uploading once vrcfury stops asking me to autofix but only until the next time i add a vrcfury toggle and it will try to auto fix again

can i maybe just default vrcfury to have write defaults on be the default?

so i can prevent the autofix attempts being necessary in the future

[ornate stump]

You have to add fix write default component and set its option to disable.

[obtuse bronze]

Yep did that

[grave ruin]

I figured out that gesture right 1 is fist and 3 is point and 6 is gun. So what would I have to use if I want not a gesture but the Touchpad of my index controller to trigger the writing of my pen

Is that also a Parameter I can use to start an animation?

Point works "ok" but depending on the gesture before point let's say it was gun the animation of the hand makes the pen smudge a little line upon triggering write

That's why I want it to be separate from animation

Also maybe disconnect it from the finger and instead locking it to the wrist

i think i figured out a good way, using fist as it requires holding the controller so it wont happen accidentally and i added the pen to the hand instead of the finger bone

[keen tapir]

guys, i cant create a project in VCC cuz unity 2022.3.22f1 isn't suportet at the hub for me and when i tried changing to the 2022.3.62f3 (cuz its the only supported version in the hub) it constantly switched back to select 2022.3.22f1 instead of the 2022.3.62f3 what can i do?

[ornate stump]

You have to use 2022.3.22f1 exactly. Get that version from https://unity.com/releases/editor/archive

[keen tapir]

i already tried using it but it won't open

[ornate stump]

What does it actually do?

[keen tapir]

thats why i was asking for help

[ornate stump]

You can't use any other unity version than specified by vrchat.

[keen tapir]

its red ⚠️ and by manuly starting unity it sais that its an not suported version and that i shoud use a suported one

[ornate stump]

The warning is about security issue which only applies if you create a standalone game. This doesn't apply to vrchat content.

[keen tapir]

i mean on the unity hub

[ornate stump]

That's what I meant.

[keen tapir]

thats what i mean

[ornate stump]

Did you get the install link from the link I gave you earlier?

[keen tapir]

i mean i can try to uninstall and reinstall everything again

[ornate stump]

You can't use any version listed in the hub installer so you have to as well remove them.

[keen tapir]

yes but its the same place i got my standalone version of it

[ornate stump]

Try to install via the hub link from that page.

[keen tapir]

forget it...

thx for not listening

and for trying

[ornate stump]

You know that the answer will be as good as the question.

[keen tapir]

but if the listener isn't listening that its as good as a blind trying to tell what colore he sees

[ornate stump]

Do you mind telling what part that I'm wrong?

[keen tapir]

i clearly stated my issue and got i stupid answer and from there on you keeped not listening

and you insist in your one methode

[ornate stump]

guys, i cant create a project in VCC cuz unity 2022.3.22f1 isn't suportet at the hub for me
This part I had to assume that the 2022.3.22f1 version doesn't get listed in the unity hub so I told to get from the unity archive page

and when i tried changing to the 2022.3.62f3 (cuz its the only supported version in the hub) it constantly switched back to select 2022.3.22f1 instead of the 2022.3.62f3 what can i do?
You can't use 2022.3.62f3 because VRChat clearly states that you must use 2022.3.22f1 in order to your upload content to be working with VRChat.

[keen tapir]

but i don't wanna continue to argue and im just doing this then

[ornate stump]

Just make sure that you install 2022.3.22f1

[hallow herald]

I got some visual effects that I want to add it to my avatar BUT I'm playing on dekstop and the visual affects are controlled by hand movements. Is it possible to change it to a simple button inside the quick action menu?

[worthy nexus]

@ornate stump see, its not there

[ornate stump]

Do you see VRChat SDK folder in the Packages folder below?

[worthy nexus]

no and i know its check marked in CC

[ornate stump]

Can you screenshot vcc screen showing that?

[fallow fiber]

anyone know why i cant enable the cats plugin? im using blender 3.5

[ornate stump]

That's the different project from what you show in the screenshot showing unity.

[worthy nexus]

i created a new project to make sure it was clicked, then it takes me to the unity hub, do i just make new project there to?

[ornate stump]

You should only make project in VCC, because obviously if you create again in the hub, it's a different project.

[ornate stump]

Then you have to check path unity exe in the vcc settings make sure it's correct.

[worthy nexus]

how would i do that

[fallow fiber]

bump

[worthy nexus]

this right?

[ornate stump]

Should be correct. Also "View all installed versions" to be sure.

[worthy nexus]

there was a path that took it to the hub facepalm whhhhyyy

[ornate stump]

What does it show?

[worthy nexus]

its just said the unity hub, i deleted and now i open the project and it went right to the it instead of the hub and i see the SDK tab

[ornate stump]

Ok that's good now.

[hallow herald]

can someone help me to add those visual effect to my avatar? The effects are enable due to hands movement but I simply would to enable it through the radial menu, click then start

[somber sequoia]

where did you get cats? You have to use the right version, from here: https://cats.neoneko.xyz/

[bitter dune]

Still having the strange quest avatar preview error thing where the main body mesh is rendering behind the background of the menu, has anyone else had this issue and figured out a fix for it?

I thought it may be a weird bug from uv emission hue shifting because that’s the only extra animation that mesh has that the hair tuft doesn’t have but it wasn’t cuz disconnecting that didn’t fix it so I have no idea what it is

It has to be tied to the animator somehow cuz the only fix I’ve seen for it has been disabling the animator entirely on the mesh but that’s definitely not ideal

[fallow fiber]

i got it here https://github.com/absolute-quantum/cats-blender-plugin/releases/tag/0.19.0

[somber sequoia]

Wrong one, that's too old for your blender.

[junior brook]

could someone help me with this? my bf commisioned someone for a model and im trying to post it onto vrchat rn, ive asked them to fix every problem and they have, but now i have a problem with unity where bones just dissapear, i can see them on blender but theyre just not there in unity ive been sitting here for 3 hours trying to figure it out but i cant find any tutorials

[somber sequoia]

the rig setup window isn't going to be useful for looking for non-humanoid bones, what are you actually trying to do?

[junior brook]

trying to assign them so the model doesnt end up t-posing in vrchat

i know barely anything about unity so im probably a bit slow

or blender to be honest

[somber sequoia]

show us the bone list that shows up in the rigging setup, rather than the model

[junior brook]

it automaps it in rig sorry if im sending the wrong thing im really confused

[somber sequoia]

you need shoulder bones

otherwise this looks okay

[junior brook]

theyre there in blender, not unity

they dissapear when imported into unity

[somber sequoia]

just drag the shoulder bones from the hierarchy into the rig slot

the view of the model is not very relevant here, you can see the bones in the hierarchy.

also probably drag the toe bones in there too, since you have them

[junior brook]

yeah but thing is the upper arms are missing when imported into unity and i cant find them in the list

[somber sequoia]

oh - also you have the shuolders in the upper arm slots

? they are literally show in one of these images you provided

[junior brook]

as ive said theyre automapped

[junior brook]

theyre not in the 2nd, 1st is blender

[somber sequoia]

yes and as I'm saying, you have to fix this

i see no blender image here

[junior brook]

1st image in this message is a screenshot of the bones in blender , ill send the list of the bones from blender aswell

i feel like somethings missing in the list

[ornate stump]

Your Upper Arm bones somehow named as Hand?

[somber sequoia]

ooh I missed that one, that's a problem

I still don't see anything actually missing, just mis-ordered.

[junior brook]

ive asked the person that i commisioned to add them but i have nothing to assign upper-arms to, yet i can see them on blender

[junior brook]

nope, hands are fine

[somber sequoia]

the arm hierarchy should go: chest (or upper chest) -> shoulder -> upper arm -> lower arm -> hand/wrist

[junior brook]

actually wait

[somber sequoia]

if it does not, you must re-order this in blender

[junior brook]

okay i think i found the problem

[somber sequoia]

if the names are wrong, that doesn't matter but you probably want to rename stuff (in blender) for your own sanity 🙂

[junior brook]

i do have it named as hand, hands are wrists

[ornate stump]

Your actual hand bones are named "Wrist" which is correct. But your bone that supposed to be Upper Arm are named "Hand".

[junior brook]

okay this is a fix

let me see if it works

thats probably just me being dumb and not checking it lol, let me see

[somber sequoia]

Sometimes Unity doesn't get the mapping correct - this is fine, just correct it yourself.

[junior brook]

OKAY so

i fixed it, it was just me being dumb

i didnt EXACTLY go through the list

i thought hand was just.. the hand, ended up not being that

[somber sequoia]

see? Sanity 🙂

[junior brook]

alright thank you so much!! gotta learn this for the next time cuz im gonna be commisioning this person pretty soon 😭 doing this for someone else so i have barely any info

[fossil pasture]

heyy so.. simple question..

how do i grab physbones with my mouse on unity??

[ornate stump]

Click and drag them in Game view.

[fossil pasture]

thanksss! big help!

[maiden zodiac]

for some reason whenever i try add socks / shoes i cant build and it says avatar validation failed but i can add clothes and it doesnt do that..

[viral kernel]

I need help uploading a avatar it shows up that its done then says failed to upload can someone help me please

[brisk hazel]

Having some slight tracking issues.. despite the viewpoint being in the head my tracking ends up in front of the model and screws up my positioning... I dont have photos atm, but I was wondering if anyone has had an similar issue

[sand mica]

Help! I made an animation in unity and set it to the standing motion. And I checked Apply root motion. With Apply root motion, it works well but in play mode, whenever I enter to gesture manager the option automatically turns off....................why??? Does this mean that apply root motion will be unabled in VRchat??

[ornate stump]

You can't use root motion on vrchat avatar.

[junior brook]

im so upset cuz i fixed the first problem and now i got this problem and i dont know what to do 😭 i cant move parts around in the list of the bones YET theyre under chest, whenever i click chest it shows the children and the shoulders and neck are children, can someone help?

[ornate stump]

Screenshot your bone hierarchy again.

[somber sequoia]

main spine should go: hips -> spine -> chest -> upper chest (if present) -> neck -> head

(names may vary)

[junior brook]

problem is i cant move anything around

[somber sequoia]

not in Unity, no.

[junior brook]

rig is fine and now its the hierarchy so im thinking that i probably need to do it in blender

[somber sequoia]

oh I see the issue, you have many extra neck bones, that's not going to work properly

[lofty plank]

quick question, is there a way i can like limit the value of the visemes? the avatar im working on has VERY exxagerated visemes when it talks its kinda scary lol
im just wondering if i can somehow set them lower maybe?

[somber sequoia]

Can you collapse the non-humanoid bones and re-take that screenshot? It's hard to see the full hierarchy with the irrelevant extras here

[somber sequoia]

no, you'd need to rework the shape keys for that

[junior brook]

which one?? sorry i cant tell

[lofty plank]

i tried to like set the max value of the shape key to 0.4 in blender but it didnt change anything after exporting it, it sorta reverted

i assume that just doesnt work

[somber sequoia]

any one that shows the hierarchy from the root bone down to the head.

[somber sequoia]

yeah that doesn't work - but you could rename that shape key, then make a new one based on that old one's value at .4

[lofty plank]

ooo okay ill do that, thank you!

[somber sequoia]

set all shape keys off, set that one to .4, do "new shape from mix" in the shape key menu on the side

[lofty plank]

alright, i can do that :D

[somber sequoia]

yep, easy stuff

[lofty plank]

fr, i just didnt think of that lmao

[junior brook]

i might be actually dumb cuz i cant tell im so sorry 😭 im actually giggling cuz i feel so dumb

[somber sequoia]

I'm not sure what you're asking

[junior brook]

which ones do i collapse like which part cuz i actually cant tell

[somber sequoia]

the ones that are NOT humanoid bones, such as those for the cape

[junior brook]

AHH so like accessories

okay

[sand mica]

Thanks 🙁

[gusty meteor]

Hey there ! 👋
I was wondering if it was possible to lock an object's rotation to what it currently is ?
I have a spring joint object on my avatar and I can let it roll around but then it is constantly spinning. I know I can create an animation to lock the object to a predefined rotation but I would like to be able to lock the rotation to the rotation it is currently at.
Is that possible ?
Maybe with a Rotation Constraint but I don't know how to tweak the settings to do so..

[junior brook]

i think thats all

[somber sequoia]

yeah ok this is going to need a bunch of work to be correct for VRChat

there's an image pinned in #avatar-rigging - for example legs should come from the root bone, not the second one down

[junior brook]

oh goodness

[somber sequoia]

and you have extra neck bones - you can do that but you'd need some bunch of constraints probably

[grave ruin]

is there a way to create shortcuts in a scene?
Lets say i would use the head, left hand and right hand a lot to work on children of said bones and i do not want to open the avatar each time to go 6 folders deep to reach the head. Can i somehow make it so theres a shortcut to the head i can open up instead to copy paste edit stuff in it?

[somber sequoia]

in what, Unity?

[raw spindle]

is there any way that i can make this scythe open like spinels gem rejouvinator from steven universe?

https://tenor.com/view/spinel-steven-universe-gif-22146303

[somber sequoia]

Sure, you could do that with an animation

[raw spindle]

can u explain the way i would have to?

hopefully both quest and pcvr

[somber sequoia]

You'd have to put this into a 3D modeling/animation program like Blender and build an animation that changes the shape of the mesh however you want it

[raw spindle]

i did make the model lol its in blender :p

but do u have a type of animation that could achieve this effect? im just a bit confused on how to get started making the animation

[somber sequoia]

watch tutorials on animating, but probably what you need here is shape keys for the closed and open states, maybe some in between, it might not arc very nicely without

[raw spindle]

is there a way i can make a shape key that takes after another, like so i made close1, i want the next not to use Basis as its start but use close 1 as the start?

if you know what im getting at

wait nvm

[somber sequoia]

you can make them relative to each other, sure

[raw spindle]

i have done it :p

how would i fix this outline problem?

the blendshapes are kinda just the scythe merging into eachother and its kinda odd

[buoyant jewel]

alr

so

I havent touched avatar creation before, something I want doesnt exist. I dont know how to use this shit.

[left gull]

https://discord.com/channels/189511567539306508/1139228456090087495 is a good starting point, explaining what you're trying to make/needing help with specifically will get you better assistance though

[buoyant jewel]

im bouta just say "fuck this" and throw money at someone to do it for me. I have the assets already acquired I just have no idea how to do any of this shit and I dont have time to learn.

[left gull]

be careful of the bots/scammers that message is likely to flag to your DMs

if you're gonna just pay someone to do it then go to VRCTraders (link in #1204490664637890580 ) and find a verified commissioner (though it gets kinda pricy quick)

[supple prawn]

Does anyone know how to sort of make the skirt linked to the legs? So whenever she walks or sits her legs dont show out of the skirt? A lil new to blender

[somber sequoia]

this is really hard to get right, but you can weight paint the skirt to move with the legs... or use constraints on skirt bones to copy rotation of the leg bones

[supple prawn]

i see. i gotta do that in Blender or in Unity?

i want it to also be available on Quest, for a friend of mines and i know quests bone limitation

[somber sequoia]

constraints you must do in unity but you can also do them in blender if you want

[supple prawn]

I see.

Any good tutorials i can go off of to understand it more?

[somber sequoia]

there are a bunch you can find by looking up stuff like "skirt in vrchat" or "rigging skirt vrchat" or something, probably watch them all, there are lots of different methods, maybe some combination works for you.
Personally I've only got this type of thing to be... okay. Basically forget about it looking good when sitting down 🙂

[supple prawn]

Alright

I’ll try to nail her atleast walking

Last avatar I made had a skirt issue and it was fine unless she sat down

[somber sequoia]

yeah I usually go for walking + basic dancing, and call it good enough

[untold minnow]

How do I delete projects?

[sullen hedge]

projects are usually stored at this file directory by default
C:\Users\ <your username>\AppData\Local\VRChatCreatorCompanion\VRChatProjects

easy way to find it from VCC, in the project tab, there's 3 dots to the far right of each project, click that, there's an "Open Project Folder" option. That will open file explorer to the file directory inside one of those projects, you can can click the up arrow button to navigate to the file that contains the rest of the projects

also, recently opened projects might not delete if unity hub is still running in the background. You can close unity hub on the bottom right of your task bar, or by using task manager

[glacial vale]

Put a new clothing piece on an avatar in blender and am trying to copy over the parts from the main avatar to the new FBX in unity but the avatar has a Prefab asset linked to the other FBX so the new one doesn't have the colors or materials that the original has. is there any way to make it so it applies to the new one? (suppose to be a cyan hue for the hair/clothes, etc.)

Original avi for reference

[left gull]

either manually re-apply the materials or iirc pumpkin tools has a transfer thing that might setup the materials as long as the stuff is named the same

[glacial vale]

it also includes lighting and other stuff like that, stuff that i cant manually do

[left gull]

the lighting should be a part of the materials used so you shouldnt need to make anything if you use the existing ones (unless it uses an add-on like PCSS or something?)

[glacial vale]

yeah, but i still have a bunch of other clothing i want to apply and i shouldnt have to do it every single time (because theres also a lot on this avatar). noticing now as well after testing that the toggle wheel also doesnt fully work with it

it also has defaults on which clothing is automatically applied instead of just slapping it all on there (hence the toggle wheel breaking i assume)

[raw spindle]

is it possible to use vrcfury to make gesture toggles? like when i do a certain gesture it will play an animation, and when i do that same gesture again it will play another anim?

[unreal juniper]

Backup first, but you should be able to just overwrite the fbx that the prefab is referencing with your edited one

[glacial vale]

i tried that last time and the entire avi decided to explode, but ill try it again

how should i go about making the backup?

[sullen hedge]

yes, it's possible, i haven't used vrcfury for that tho so I'm not familiar with it

https://vrcfury.com/components/toggle/

here's their page that explains that tho

[raw spindle]

how did u do it without vrcfury

idrm if its without

[sullen hedge]

i set them up myself

[raw spindle]

is it ok if u can DM me some screenshots of how u set it up?

or here idrm

[sullen hedge]

sure

[sand mica]

Hello! How should I reduce materials to 4 when Im having 19? It says recommended material slot is 4 but I cant remove more.... then my avatar will be monotonous... Any tips?? Should I compress them into one laarge image and place UVs again..........

[supple prawn]

Thank you so much dude 🙏 Its not perfect but its doing what it needs to do

[glacial vale]

Trying to make a toggle with VRCfury but every time i go into the gesture manager to try and test it, it never shows up with no errors either. everything is named correctly, i double checked

[somber sequoia]

oh nice!

[pine valley]

look at the hierarchy as you turn the toggle on and off; does the object activate and deactivate?

if it is activating, but you still can't see the model, make sure that the SkinnedMeshRenderer itself is enabled

[glacial vale]

toggle doesnt even show up in the menu what so ever, ended up just making my own toggle for it

[pine valley]

If the menu was already full, VRCFury would've made a "Next" submenu to put the new control in

[digital river]

Trying to import a custom humanoid animation from Blender into Unity. When I duplicate the clip from the generic rig, it seems to have gotten overwritten by the default Unity bike pose and the rig keyframes seem to do nothing when there was a working animation in Blender on the exact same rig/model. I don't know if this is a problem with my Blender or my Unity settings

[timber wharf]

@digital river import model with animations - set it to humanoid in unity - now you can extract animation outside of the model and its still humanoid

[hard turtle]

any idea on why my vrchat creator companion suddenly dosnt god damn open

[somber sequoia]

#creator-companion may be a better place to ask

[digital river]

That seemed to have worked, thanks so much

[versed marsh]

I go to import my fbx from blender into unity and this happens-?

my arm bone annd like foot and leg are off to the side in the bottom right

i have no idea what happened

[snow delta]

You might need to reapply the rig

Set the animation type to none, apply, then set again to Humanoid, then apply

[versed marsh]

it goes to normal but breaks again when i go back to humanoid

[snow delta]

Check if bones are in the correct place?

[versed marsh]

All my bones are in the proper place

[snow delta]

I think last time something similar happened to me it was a shader problem, one that bakes the mesh

Which solved by rebaking

[versed marsh]

how do i do that?

everything else isnt working haha

[snow delta]

Might not work unless you're like me and is using ValueFactory's goo shader, which has a bake mesh button...

Which I don't think it is the case

Maybe check how you're extracting the FBX?

[versed marsh]

yeah no i have no idea

[sour sparrow]

so im saving my model with a t-pose because it claimed to not be in a t-pose, but after i apply the t-pose, it reverts it (also for some reason the feet are backward)

[civic rose]

Can someone help me do a roar animation

[somber sequoia]

what sort of help do you mean?

[civic rose]

Im just looking for help or to be taught on how to make a roaring animation for this dragon man avatar im making

I also need to do it for a fire breath

[glacial vale]

Would anyone know how to go about adding a longer dress to an avatar? one thats suppose to have physbones for the cloth

[chilly solar]

my tail bone shifts upward in play mode, why?

[night ember]

An animation Ig?

[chilly solar]

yeah figured that out, idk why it started happening but easy fix. yay c:

[unkempt sail]

I'm trying to make a speedometer hud with one of the built in parameters, "Velocitymagnatude". I have an object that uses a blendshap to indicate speed, and an animation moving that blendshape. However, I can't figure out how to use the float values from Velocitymagnatude to run that animation, as there is no endpoint for that float. How would I set this up so I'm only using values from 0 to 500?

[ornate stump]

Setup simple 1D blendtree with for that parameter.

[night ember]

-1 to 1 floats you can use motion time
Free floats like the built in velocity params use a blendtree

[unkempt sail]

I'm not sure how to do that

[ornate stump]

Create a blendtree, create 2 animations for value of zero, and max. Assign them to blendtree, set parameter for that blendtree.

[versed marsh]

wont let me enter playmode at all or upload, saying its not humanoid when my rig is clearly humanoid, not sure what to do really

[ornate stump]

Do you have Animator component on your avatar and has "Avatar" slot assigned?

[versed marsh]

just fixed that, thank you haha

[unkempt sail]

won't that just swap between those 2 animations?

[ornate stump]

Blendtree as the name suggested do "blend".

[unkempt sail]

ok, maybe I'm not understanding how you would set that up. I'm missing something..

[ornate stump]

What do you have now though?

[rain zodiac]

hi! so um

what happens when the vrc sdk just straight up doesnt let you upload anything other than tests :p

what i supposa do :p

[chilly solar]

how can i copy an avatar project to turn it into a different avatar. i want to make another one thats slightly different and dont wanna have to redo most of the toggles i wanna keep

[ornate stump]

How did it respond for "not letting you upload"?

[ornate stump]

Duplicate your avatar object(Ctrl+D) and detach blueprint ID from its pipeline manager component.

[night ember]

Just like duplicate the avatar in scene

Then duplicate the animators that you will change etc

[rain zodiac]

ok so basically what it does is it just kinda sits there doing nothing for a second, like i mean nothing. Then it pops up saying "upload failed, you didnt click the ok box" or whatever it says, then the ok box shows up only after the error message shows up, and once i click the ok in the ok box nothing happens >:

i already detached the blueprint id btw

[ornate stump]

You can't just say "whatever". You have to take the exact message here.

[rain zodiac]

im trying to get it to show up again ill give it to you the moment it does

ok now its just not showing up at all and its just doing nothing

it just greys out the avatar info box

like this ^0^

its been like this for 5 minutes

[unkempt sail]

https://i.gyazo.com/b488f6c1389ffba125b8389a3d10222f.png

[ornate stump]

Try signout and signin again.

[ornate stump]

You still have only one animation.

[rain zodiac]

same thing >3>

[ornate stump]

Try changing internet, use mobile hotspot for example. Or use proxy like Cloudflare WARP.

[unkempt sail]

https://i.gyazo.com/e9cdd09ad22e3872506372ba673ddc27.png

[rain zodiac]

turning off my vpn worked :0

tysm! :D

[ornate stump]

Should be alright except your parameter name is wrong.

[unkempt sail]

yeah, caught that. it's fixed. It won't let me select Velocitymagnatude or any other native floats unless I add it to the parameter list. then I get 2 of them, the 2nd shows the 0. I can then erase it from my parameter list, and it works. it's corrected now. https://i.gyazo.com/5d84cf743d6d22bd1c5521c8cde9db40.png

[ornate stump]

Have you tested it?

[ornate stump]

Also just so you know, default sprint speed in most world is 4.

[unkempt sail]

yeah, it doesn't work. it just plays the 2nd animation, regardless of what I set the Velocitymag value to in the Debug menu.

[ornate stump]

Have you checked in the blendtree preview that it also blend parameter correctly?

[unkempt sail]

Yes, and it shows it stuck in the 1st animation

[ornate stump]

Can you screenshot how it's preview?

[unkempt sail]

https://i.gyazo.com/f28a624222113a196b5e54bd2b510e0a.png

For context, that is upside down, and there should be a bar that fills the slot on the bottom.

https://i.gyazo.com/e08f09feda636015b5d024dca9873d98.png

[ornate stump]

Try moving the parameter preview(the red bar) to the middle and screenshot again.

[ornate stump]

Also how did you record animation? Did you put animator controller in the avatar's animator component, or on the object itself? The location of recording also matter.

[unkempt sail]

https://i.gyazo.com/3a057bbfe2fdc01588c2a670264fe7bb.png

I recorded on the object it's self before adding to the avatar. I have it stored in an asset folder with the FBX and material

[ornate stump]

How did you add to the avatar? Because animation path require repathing if you record it from different location.

[unkempt sail]

Drag N drop. I didn't realize there was a difference. Should I re-record them now that it's on the avatar?

[ornate stump]

Re-record it. or use merge animator tools from modular avatar or vrcfury.

[unkempt sail]

Re-recorded. Retried. this time it isn't stuck at max, but it doesn't move, either.

[ornate stump]

Screenshot the preview again.

[unkempt sail]

https://i.gyazo.com/176f893659fbed96911ffafa0eacd225.png

[ornate stump]

If you record it from avatar animator then the preview should be showing the avatar with the object.

[unkempt sail]

the previewer showed nothing untill I dragged the FBX into that window.

[ornate stump]

You have to drag the avatar object into the preview.

[unkempt sail]

view-source:https://i.gyazo.com/a8673e2478f32a8dcf50adcaa914acd4.gif

That's it. still not working. Still not working when I use the Gesture Emulator Debug tool to set Velmag to any number.

[ornate stump]

You are playing animation which doesn't have effect because the animations are one-keyframe. You have to move the parameter preview bar above to actually blend animation, same as you did before.

[unkempt sail]

yeah, the orange speed bar does not move now when I move the red parameter bar

[ornate stump]

Screenshot again.

[unkempt sail]

https://i.gyazo.com/535d552e0384b6493bf56f24f690dae9.png

[ornate stump]

That means the animations aren't working. Which mean you still didn't record it from avatar animator.

[ornate stump]

If you actually re-recorded it, you also have to be careful and make sure that the animator context didn't get changed to the object animator when you're trying to record.

[unkempt sail]

I re-recorded it, hence the new names. Buuuut..... I just tried again. Select avatar > create new animation > press record > select the speedhud from inside the avatar's list, and it drops out of the recording and asks if I want to create an animation.

[ornate stump]

That mean the object has its own animator component. So just remove the animator component from that object.

[unkempt sail]

wow! 😆 That worked!

I don't even remember adding that. it's been a wild 36 hours.

[ornate stump]

Remember that this isn't exclusive to blendtree. It's every time you're trying to record animation on an fbx file nested the avatar object.

[unkempt sail]

I will, and thank you so much. I owe you an entire plate of cookies! 😄

[pallid sun]

Hi, i have a question. When it comes to stylized/anime hair is it better to have all the hair strands connected to one single mesh?

[versed marsh]

could someone please steer me in the right direction? ive tried everything i could think of for the past 5 hours maybe more idk at this point, none of my physbones on my skin mesh want to work whatsoever or even appear in the gizmos.

I opened a new project put physbones on the butt bones and applied the butt root as the transform and it worked

but does absolutely nothing here

[balmy barn]

add endpoint if its only 1 bone

seeing no radius usually a sign of them

[versed marsh]

how would i add an endpoint

in blender?

[balmy barn]

in physbone setting

[versed marsh]

You are a life saver

i just spent my entire night tryinng to figure that out, i have a migraine XD

[uneven whale]

Hey guys, I have a question. After editing an avatar in Blender, the numbers in the bone positions change slightly, but it doesn't affect the visuals or functionality. Is this generally normal?

[slow panther]

any suggestions so the chest doesnt weirdly flatten while i run?

[ornate stump]

How much is slightly? Is it less than 0.001?

[ornate stump]

Limit less max angle.

[slow panther]

it was down to 20 ish before but that didnt seem to work unless thats not what you mean

If you really mean to prevent bone movement while you're moving then set immobile type to world and increase its value.

[torn crypt]

Increase Pull/Spring, reduce Max Angle, and increase Radius, that's what usually help chest to not get flat

[slow panther]

what should i try for radius?

[slow panther]

okok thank you

[torn crypt]

You can try 0.07–0.1.

[ornate stump]

Radius doesn't restrict bone movement outside of collision so that won't do anything.

[uneven whale]

Yes, that's right, the values are roughly similar to what you indicated. Is that normal? So I don't have to bother copying the original values?

[ornate stump]

It's less than a millimeter so it's negligible.

one material = one mesh. tho one mesh with multiple materials is fine.

Hey guys I need help with something because I’m new at making avatars

How can I fix the pants

[pallid nymph]

aghh im gonna tweak out.

I made a shapekey to shrink the clothes into the body for optimization. But when I hope the avatar, the clothes inside the avatar deform weirdly and stick out..

[somber sequoia]

yeah, those vertices are probably affected by bone movements, right? Ideally you want such vertices to shrink to be center on the bone that most affects them. This is exactly the case where this method doesn't work well.

[pallid nymph]

Hm. Any ideas what to do than? 😭

[somber sequoia]

do what I said instead of shrinking to a single point far from the affecting bones

[pallid nymph]

Alright

[somber sequoia]

you can try other methods such as UV tile discarding, but that only works with shaders that support it, which means not on mobile

[pallid nymph]

Is there any way i should specifically be doing about doing this? Or is it as simple as shrinking it to their perspective bones?

[somber sequoia]

that's pretty much what I do

[pallid nymph]

Alright, ill give it a try, thank you!

[somber sequoia]

I make use of blender's 3D cursor for this

[sour sparrow]

can someone help me with this later pls?

[ornate stump]

Does it say any error in the menu where you change between Generic and Humanoid rig?

[pallid nymph]

I literally just jumped up and screamed. It worked, thank you so so much, i been dealing with this for 5 hours trying to learn it myself 😭

[somber sequoia]

very nice!

[sour sparrow]

yeah

and it wont stop the error if I force my character to t-pose

[somber sequoia]

what's the error?

[ornate stump]

Enforcing T-pose doesn't fix that error. You have to read the "Import Messages".

[sour sparrow]

I did, but it didnt say anything about the rig I dont think

[somber sequoia]

just show us the error.
