[foggy portal]

I'm on unity version 2022.3.22f1

[somber sequoia]

VRChat SDK version, not Unity

[foggy portal]

I'm using the creator companion so I don't remember where to find that

[somber sequoia]

you can find out in VCC or Alcom, or the unity package manager window

[foggy portal]

ah ok 3.9

[somber sequoia]

yep, buggy. There's a beta release that has a fix if you encounter it again

[foggy portal]

Good to know it wasn't me messing something up that time. That's crazy that I can try to upload it 3 times, get 2 different error messages, and then it works just fine the 3rd time

[somber sequoia]

yeah I didn't expect that

[cunning flower]

Okay is anyone having issues with MMD visemes not working on avatars or is it just me? Like I do all set ups manually and never had an issue before but it's not wanting to work

Like it's set up with everything but it's just... not working

Everything should also be fine in unity but it's just.... not working like it has before. I'm not sure if there's anything that's changed in recent updates or what

[glass condor]

Can anyone help with gogo loco? My character's arms seem to be flipped backwards in the intro animation of the avatars, and I think that means something is fundamentally wrong?

[glass condor]

nvm I forgot to enforce t-pose on the rig

[ebon dirge]

Can anyone help me with this error? I’m just trying to put all my handheld assets in one submenu and I keep getting this

[proven quail]

Like, the face isn't moving in the mmd world? Or like, the blendshapes do nothing in blender/unity?

[sand valve]

Does anyone know if a unity tool for transferring shapekeys from one mesh to another?
I wanna do body mods for avatars but I don't know of a good way to do so without having the body base in the package.
I could do like a stripped down only body with only the modified shapekeys but don't know if that woulf be a good idea.
I was shown this tool but the tutorial is confusing and it give errors. don't know if anyone used this tool before https://github.com/HashEdits/EditDistributionTools

[somber sequoia]

Your face needs to be on the mesh named Body for MMD to work - make sure that's the case

[proven quail]

Why are you replying to me?

[somber sequoia]

oh - sorry, I should have replied to the original poster

clicked the wrong message

[proven quail]

Ok yeah makes sense

[slow panther]

mr rgb slider works great over all my clothing options in playmode, but when its uploaded my panets are off sync, any idea what could be causing this

[balmy barn]

handy script to input/find shapekeys and duplicate & rename them to be compitable with vmd/mmd , you mesh must be "Body" cause thats what the animation 99.9999% target with a converted vmd

https://github.com/The-Beebz/Add-MMD-ShapeKeys

[proven quail]

Like a hundred things could happen to make the mmd stop working, face mesh not named "Body", facial expression layers messing with it, world doesn't use industry standards for mmd detection tools, blendshapes might be broken on avatar, animations using the blendshapes, blendshapes named wrong,

[slow panther]

i have an animation for auto hue, and a seperate one from hue speed and they all start on the same color and all range from 0 to 1 and 0 to 10

(using poiyomi)

[proven quail]

Ohh so it's not an RGB slider like RGB control, it's an animation that changes the RGB over time like a rainbow effect?

[slow panther]

yeah! ill show you it\

ive never had an issue with it before so its being weird

theres more but basically this for the speed

then this is just normal auto hue

everything works but when i do the speed cycle its just off sync and its making me mad xD

the change the hue works fine just not the rgb

on upload*

i think it was a bug i just redid the whole animation and it worked

[tardy pivot]

Guys I don't know what to do, I been trying to make this avatar, I bought it and it's supposed to be quest compatible but it's showing this now and I'm not sure what to do, if anyone knows some ways to fix, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[balmy barn]

people like to say its compatible but its rarely optimized for quest

that one is close to 20k wich would be 'poor'

[tardy pivot]

I know the rating, problem is the triangles are slightly over

[balmy barn]

duplicate it and delete the 'hoodie' mesh , see how many vertices it has then (this might not work why duplicate it)

[tardy pivot]

Alright I will try that

[quasi fable]

It will still be visible on quest, just a low poly version unless someone is friended to you or they manually show your avatar. If you have an issue with that you could try using an optimizer. I personally use vrcfury.

[tardy pivot]

Alright it looks like the hoodie= 7620, I think possible option is to remove the hoodie off the model

[tardy pivot]

I also use vrcfury

[quasi fable]

try adding the optimizer component

[tardy pivot]

Alright I will try that

[balmy barn]

vrcfury wont reduce vertices , wich is the cause of the very poor rank everyone have to click show to get the actual model

[tardy pivot]

Does that also mean PC will have to out of curiosity?

[balmy barn]

pc it will be good ranked, excellent bit more work

[tardy pivot]

Alright good to know..

update, so I removed the hoodie entirely and it brought triangles down to a usable level, so I think hopefully it will work now, I also added the vrc optimization, thanks for the help.

[balmy barn]

whoever made that was VERY close to poor rank on quest , 268 vertices isnt that much to fix in blender

quest shader have more options now some of them quest still rely on 2 sides when it has backface culling now

[soft sun]

not vrchat related but i want to know if there's a way to remove this annoying noise/static effect on my textures everytime i try to import this model in blender

[balmy barn]

is this transparency ? blender make funny dithers

[little plume]

normals with red faces like this usually dont show up in unity as far as i know, is there a fix in blender that prevents this?

or in engine maybe

[balmy barn]

you can disable backface culling in the shader it will be shown

quest one

[soft sun]

huh

[little plume]

oh ok thank you

[balmy barn]

this noise is alpha

looks pretty wierd but guess its fast

[soft sun]

it isnt that from what i see

[chilly solar]

im trying to make a boop toggle and for some reason it just isnt working. idk if its just testing it in unity that doesnt work but who knows. im pretty sure i have the animations set up correctly and everything? the particles just dont toggle. what can i show of it to get some help :c

this is the first time ive done something like this, i havent had any problems with toggles in a long while

so idk if its the problem with my sender and reciever? moving the sender into the reciever to test it doesnt do anything. i added a sound effect as well and it should turn on both game objects but doesnt

[proven quail]

Upload a test in game, and turn on contacts in avatar overlay. See if the contact turns green when you touch it. If it doesn't, it means your contact sender and reciever isn't talking to each other and not recognizing the contact. If it turns green, that means something is wrong with the animation or toggle.

To test the toggle, pull up the debug menu and go under FX, find the layer for the boop. Touch the nose and see if the active state changes from the off to on. If it doesn't, your FX layer is not recognizing the contact, which could mean the parameters are not matching. If it works, it means the animations are broken

Also make sure your particles have play on awake enabled

[chilly solar]

where is avatar overlay, is it an in game thing?

nvm found it

[chilly solar]

so i made some random touch my nose and it indeed doesnt turn green, why might that be?

[lucid furnace]

hi guys , i feel quite lost with some things in unity on how to put an avatar together, for example im trying to add an animation pack (STDW MotionMenu) for movement to my avatar but have no idea how to do this

[proven quail]

If another person is touching the contact, make sure the contact has contact values for hands. Also, the user who is helping you test has to have avatar interactions enabled for strangers. You also have to have avatar interactions enabled for strangers.

I would make the contact self-interactable for testing purposes to remove some variables

[proven quail]

Follow the install instructions from the creator

[mighty basin]

ok so for textures ive heard that you can have like multiple uv unwraps kinda like off to the side of eachother, like this. but i dont remember how or what it is called ,_,

[lucid furnace]

i dont think they have any, or i just dont know where to find it

[proven quail]

Look wherever you installed it. The description and stuff. See if the download included a readme txt file or an instructions txt file.

[chilly solar]

good thinking, it worked when i did it to myself. still confused why it doesnt work in unity then

[proven quail]

Do you have gesture manager installed? I don't think unity simulates vrchat contact components in play mode natively

With gesture manager, you can click on contact recievers to activate them in play mode on the game view

[chilly solar]

okay good to know, the only reason for the sender if for testing so if theres nother way to do it then ill do that instead

[proven quail]

You can also try clicking the drop down menu in the prefab. Click on some of the stuff in there and look at the inspector. Is there vrcfury stuff in there? If so then it probably installs itself on upload

[chilly solar]

how do i actually click the contact i wanna test tho. i have clickable contacts on but i dont actually see the contacts

[proven quail]

Click where the contact is supposed to be, like click on the nose in game view (you have to move the scene camera all the way to your avatar to have the right view in game view)

[chilly solar]

oh nvm the sender decided now it wants to work after i havent even changed anything!!! that makes so much sense!!!

[lucid furnace]

after multiple times looking through the readme file i found a click me button to go to the actual instructions, thank you for making me look there again as i already kinda gave up on the readme 😭

[wheat glacier]

i’m trying to get the code to an avatar and it says join vca server and i have no idea what that is

[somber sequoia]

"the code"?

[chilly solar]

can i use easy quest switch to remove physbone components so i dont need to keep editing 2 projects for one avi?

[brittle condor]

i want to make a toggle for my avatar so that when I activate the toggle an audio file plays. how do I do this?

[somber sequoia]

put an AudioSource on your avatar somewhere, put VRC Animator Play Audio on an animation state that is activated when your variable changes

[mellow scaffold]

why whenever you add an animation on an avatar does the things get like, super big??

[wanton cedar]

for some reason the face texture only in gesture manager transfers to the chest. Its supposed to be glass like the second image. I havent touched the materials in blender. Whats going on???

[somber sequoia]

animation doing material swaps that activates in play mode?

[wanton cedar]

I dont have any material swaps

Unity is going to get hit with a chair

[versed merlin]

hi! super new to vrc and have only used blender a few times in my life - i'm trying to make a retexture of an avatar for myself but i'm struggling to figure out a couple things with the textures and tutorials aren't quite covering what i need help with (the avatar's default texture is done with two separate pngs, but i only ended up with one and i can't seem to get blender to give me the parts unwrapped separately for texture painting, and i also can't figure out how to get my texture to appear on the model once in unity / how to replace an fbx file / how to create a unity package / etc) - i am also VERY new to this and don't understand what i'm doing at all, i'm literally just clicking what the tutorials tell me to click. if anyone can help me out i'd appreciate it!

[static cipher]

is there a way to make a physbone un-posed? i tried turning the posing off and then on again, but that doesn't do it.

[somber sequoia]

like, you changed the bone rotation in the unity editor?

[static cipher]

i mean like this

[somber sequoia]

there's an in-game option to reset physbone posing on the radial menu, I forget exactly where because none of my physbones have posing enabled

I'm not sure you can do that via an animation or something

I bet you could disable then re-enable the physbone with the checkbox about resetting when disabled on

[static cipher]

you mean this one?

[somber sequoia]

yep, that one

[static cipher]

and now we pray to the unmerciful gods of Unity that this works

IT DOES

[somber sequoia]

yay!

[static cipher]

finally something with my unity goes right today

[misty scroll]

I want to make a small smoke burst or a gun shot trail using particles for quest how would I do this?

[mellow scaffold]

(Its my first time using the animation thing)

this is the sad state he is in💔

[plucky moth]

Would anyone mind helping upload a avatar

[languid nova]

me too!

btw this is the avatar

[left gull]

What part do you need help with, also be weary of the scammers you've woken up with that message like the teres guy

[somber sequoia]

don't share your password with this person

[plucky moth]

Uploading itself and the textures change to be loona

[left gull]

is it a paid model?

[plucky moth]

Yes

I bought the base and textures from gumroad

[somber sequoia]

anyone you share the assets with would need to have also bought the base and textures.

[left gull]

or have you buy it for them

[somber sequoia]

yes

[plucky moth]

Can i not just share the files

[left gull]

that'll likely break the model/creator's TOU

[somber sequoia]

not unless the creator explicitly granted you those rights.

[left gull]

can u link the model?

[plucky moth]

Sure

https://foxipaws.gumroad.com/l/Juniper?ref=jinxxy

[left gull]

yeah deff a no on the sharing

[plucky moth]

Welp i wasted my money

[left gull]

so you'd need to buy the same version for whomever would assist with uploading though lucky for you i think foxipaws offers uploads just not edits

[plucky moth]

Could i get someone to edit the textures if i just got it uploaded

[left gull]

they'd need to edit the textures before the upload happens

id contact foxi to see if you could work something out/ get them to give you permission to share the base texture for editing atleast

though they dont have a great record on being nice with stuff like this from what ive heard sadly :(

[plucky moth]

Which is why i think i may have wasted my money

[somber sequoia]

oh Juniper - I really like that one

I suspect there are lots of texture artists already with that avatar, it's popular. Join their discord, probably.

[plucky moth]

Okay i dove into it

[plucky moth]

Im able to share however it must be strictly privated and credited to her and her only not the texture artist

As there are others who made the same mistake

[somber sequoia]

pretty standard really

it's basically the license I'd use

"don't share stuff you buy from me"

[livid idol]

Im on my hands and knees yall-

Help please gang

[somber sequoia]

what the heck is going on there

[livid idol]

I DUNNO
the armature is named correctly
Weight painting is finne

[somber sequoia]

humanoid bone roll values all 0?

(fingers/toes don't need to be)

[livid idol]

Lemme see here,,,

[livid idol]

this here?

[somber sequoia]

that's it - it should be 0 for all of the main humanoid bones - the whole spine, arms and legs down to the hands and feet

[livid idol]

I hope
And I pray
Youre correct

Ill also cry

[somber sequoia]

I might be. If it doesn't actually solve your main problem, it's still a problem 🙂

relatedly, I just built a ridiculously over-complicated attempt at digitgrade legs and am about to test.

[livid idol]

crying

[somber sequoia]

it worked?

[livid idol]

Do I have to select them individually to make them 0?

[somber sequoia]

could be good or bad tears 🙂

I think so yeah

not sure if there's some bulk tool for that, I never looked

[livid idol]

This'll take a bit

[somber sequoia]

yep

[livid idol]

Ill let you know if it works

OhxlahKvkGuVH

Youuuuu helped me
Assisted me

[livid idol]

Thank you for saving me

[somber sequoia]

yay!

.... ok wow this worked the first time

I mean, not the real first time since it's like the 4th iteration but I redid everything and just hit play and it works

[livid idol]

I liedd

[somber sequoia]

I should probably stop for the night on a high note 🙂

[livid idol]

HeLp

HE lP

[somber sequoia]

not sure what I'm looking at here?

[livid idol]

They can bend left to right fine but rolling is causing them to just completely flip

[somber sequoia]

I'm not sure I've ever played with those

[livid idol]

Crying

You did help a lil
So I appreciate it

[somber sequoia]

yeah - you needed to do that even if it didn't solve this issue

[wanton cedar]

How do i make the mouth move since facial expressions are only materials on a flat plane? I see other similar models with moving mouths depending on the material, but I have no clue how to do it

[timber wharf]

@wanton cedar #avatar-help message

[supple pike]

I think I can ask for help exporting a model here right?

[somber sequoia]

probably

[supple pike]

Just wanted to ask how to do it
I tried to follow a tutorial, but both models I tried it with have that white texture

[ornate stump]

https://youtu.be/rRAnDMUbWt8?t=143 This tutorial?

[supple pike]

No, It's a video in Spanish, but it basically refers to installing vcc, unity and follow the instructions in the model of what packages install and just hold and drag the unity file in the box of assets

And that happened

[ornate stump]

If it's preconfigured avatar then you have to either

• open the scene file included in in the package, OR
• drag the avatar "prefab" into scene, also note that what you drag in is base model fbx prefab, not the preconfigured one, which is a wrong file.

[supple pike]

Ummm

I think it's the only model in the file

[ornate stump]

Is it contained in the scene file then?

[supple pike]

And I just installed unity, idk where is anything-

[ornate stump]

File location is differ by avatar so you have to actually explore them yourself.

[supple pike]

The scene is this?

No, i'm dumb

Srry

[ornate stump]

That is a default scene.

[ornate stump]

Just take a look in each folder. It's the same as walking around the town and take note of every shop.

[ornate stump]

Possibly, since some author may save avatar in the scene with default name.

So take a look.

[supple pike]

When I open the scene it takes me to the file explorer, I select the model, right?

[ornate stump]

You have to actually read the dialog that show up.

[supple pike]

This?

[ornate stump]

Yes.

It's a very standard dialog for every work application.

[supple pike]

I'm about to give up just so I don't have to ask anymore

[supple pike]

Ok, I read it, i click save and i have to do what again?...

Yeah . . .
The demon of reading comprehension attacked me again, thank you very much

[ornate stump]

Open the scene you found earlier.

[supple pike]

There is no scene in the file, i just use the predetermined

I dragged the model into the scene

And just click everything

[ornate stump]

Try to import the package again then. And take screenshot of the contents when it show the content list on import.

[supple pike]

I already did it 3 times but I didn't take a screenshot

Wait a moment

[ornate stump]

Taking screenshot and post it will make people helping you actually see the content in the package and point out the correct file.

[supple pike]

Ok ok, thanks

Just
I'm trying to import it into VRChat, but it might take a moment

[supple pike]

I just see "open me" and open it

And just works

[ornate stump]

That's what I said to "open the scene file included in the package"

[supple pike]

Was that the scene?

I'm so dumb im srry

[vestal sand]

okay, so it's not really an avatar issue, more like something on blender that kind of annoys me

when i animate the armature in object mode and after im done with, for example, rotating it and deletes the keyframes, when i go to pose mode and clear the transforms through right click, it won't, it stays in the pose, the transforms can be cleared through the menus but for some reason it stops working through the right click

(sorry if my explanation isn't clear enough)

here's what i mean

[nocturne shell]

is it possible to buy avatar overhauls for a specific model ? Like instead of buying every components separately and having to DIY, get like... a complete Milltina overhaul, with everything, then textures, clothes, hair, tatoos, maybe even a body prefab to change the morphology....
I'd not even know how to find it if they exist.
I'm looking for a good milltina but I'm overwhelm in the mass of possibilities with this DIY and quite makes me dizzy and unable to decide

[lilac musk]

Yes? Sorta? What your kind of describing is a custom or commissioned avatar. You can find creators that make them specifically to what you want. Though it comes with it's pros and cons, so you'll want to really do some research before you commit to anything. I'd suggest looking into VRCTraders in #1204490664637890580. They are a group that try to vet their creators to help one of the bigger issues, Scammers. They have portfolios you can look at to get an idea of what each creator is about and their style. Along with a general price breakdown of different services to kind of know what to expect.

[nocturne shell]

oki ty. do u think such overhauls can be found on booth ?

[ornate stump]

If you meant all the changes within one single package then no.

[ornate stump]

The best you can find is package for changing limited to some aspect for each package.

[timid kite]

how to connect an armature with hair to an armature with body without cats?

[ornate stump]

In blender or unity?

[timid kite]

blender

[ornate stump]

Join both armatures then set the hair bone parent to the head bone.

[timid kite]

with ctrl j?

[ornate stump]

Yes.

[timid kite]

i did that and now nothing moves in pose mode

[ornate stump]

You might have to pose screenshot showing current state of blender to see what is wrong with it.

[timid kite]

which things should be in the screenshot?

[ornate stump]

Just whole screen at first.

[ornate stump]

Then look in the Armature modifier of the hair and check if the armature slot is assign with the base armature.

[ornate stump]

You said "nothing move" does this mean only the hair or absolute nothing include the body?

[timid kite]

only hair doesnt move. do i pick "main" armature in "object" in modifier?

[ornate stump]

The armature you joined it to.

[timid kite]

alright now the hair moves! but it moves like this lol. is it because the hair doesnt have head vertex group?

[ornate stump]

What bone that you moved?

[timid kite]

good question. i was moving the main bone. but if i move bones under it then the hair on the head stays and strands move.

[ornate stump]

Of course you move the main bone, the entire thing just goes with it.

[timid kite]

i thought it needed a head vertex group, how is it working without?

[ornate stump]

Because the hair didn't depend on the Head bone to begin with.

[timid kite]

TYSM!

[faint mountain]

hey- blender newbie here. Im following a tutorial on how to weight paint but mine wont let me select bones. It lets me go into weight painting mode but i can click on the bones.

[ornate stump]

In newer blender, you have to hold Alt and click to select a bone.

[faint mountain]

i tried that, just makes brush spots. I tried to reparent the armature to the auto weights and no dice. If i click on a bone in outliner it just takes me out of wight painting.

[long phoenix]

not an avatar help but im at prismics avatar search and my database does not load

[ornate stump]

Did you have armature modifier on the mesh object and assigned correctly?

[faint mountain]

I think so, do i need to apply it?

[ornate stump]

You should not. And I notice the different now you as a bone icon show at the top left, so you should now able to hold Alt and click to select a bone.

[faint mountain]

still not working, the armature modifier was already assigned before that- Could it be my bone selection keybind? I cant find the keybind name in keymap tho.

[ornate stump]

When you're holding Alt, does it show "Select" with the left mouse button at the bottom of the screen?

[ornate stump]

And when did this button appear?

[faint mountain]

no

[faint mountain]

when holding alt it say rotate view/ pan view/ zoom view

[ornate stump]

Can you screenshot unity screen before holding the Alt key?

[faint mountain]

blender u mean?

I do have a maya config pluggin, but i coulda swore it let me select a bone in the past, i took a break on this project

[ornate stump]

The bone button now dissappear though.

[faint mountain]

I clicked off and re-entered wight paint and its back

still wont let me use alt to select bone tho

[ornate stump]

Does any of Ctrl, Shift, show "Select" tooltip at the bottom?

[faint mountain]

"shift" and "ctrl" just say lclick wightpaint. But ctrl+shift says select(extend) but wont select a bone

[ornate stump]

And Alt is just for panning?

[faint mountain]

all movement (alt+lclick is rotate view, alt+middle is pan view, and alt+right click is zoom view)

[ornate stump]

It might be the maya plugin is changing it.

[faint mountain]

thats what I thought too, but I was able to attempt it a few months ago- idk bc i crashed out and took a break, but i did come back and add a subdivision to the whole mesh but when I went back the the tut I was watching it aint workin no more

im goin to bed

thanks for helping tho

[warm crater]

Hi, I've recently been trying to learn how to edit my own avatar (I've been learning for 2 days) and my friends noticed something unusual that I thought was normal: whenever I hide something in the hierarchy, the item never appears in the game/play test, even though I have the toggles enabled, and apparently it was supposed to appear anyway. So every time I have to enable the preview of all the clothes at the same time before testing/exporting. Does anyone know what might be happening?

[modest ridge]

is it possible to make hair bones not move as much when in motion but still freely movable when grabbing them? if i set a different "Max Angle" in the limits the movement when grabbing it. is there any setting i can change in unity that just changes behaviour when moving?
(im not that experienced with bone stuff)

nvm, increasing stiffness worked

[night ember]

thats literally what the entire immobile value is

[heavy zephyr]

Sounds like your toggles use WD On and the default state is empty.

You might want to learn what Write defaults On VS Off do

[modest ridge]

ah okay thanks

[night ember]

which the toggle animation happens to turn off the clothing/whatever with the on toggle being the empty state

[boreal horizon]

Hello! So I am not sure what’s up, PC version of an avatar I’m working on works perfectly fine.

But for some reason for quest users, every toggle on my avatar is slowly and randomly switching on and off, including clothing, tools, you name it. I’ve tried switching projects, redoing the quest version, turning osc on and off and it’s still doing it

And that avatar also has dextro, ig it had to do w anything

[warm crater]

ok, I will try to see about that

[heavy zephyr]

For PC and quest version of an avatar to work the same, they need the EXACT same parameter list, even if some are unused on the quest version

[boreal horizon]

Well I’m using vrcfury and they’re not in the parameters list—also, I exported the PC unity package to another project to make sure it’s the exact same.

I turned the shaders quest compatible, reduced the size of some and removed physbones and colliders that exceeded the limit

Its stuff I’ve done before and never caused any problems

I suppose only the removed of the colliders are a new addiction to the usual removal of physbones and smaller texture size

But I don’t think that’s it

[unreal juniper]

Wait, so your parameters are or are not the same between PC and Quest?

[heavy zephyr]

The only thing that could cause animations to play differently are mismatched parameters

[unreal juniper]

You said it's not in the parameters list but then also that they match so I'm confused lol

If you're using prefabs that don't apply on the Quest version, you can duplicate your project for Quest, do all your changes, and remove the stuff within the prefabs except the menus/params stuff. Like delete the meshes and stuff that it's trying to attach. It should still add the parameters that just don't do anything and keep them matching

[warm crater]

Im not sure how I check that, even without any toggles it happens the same

[heavy zephyr]

Looks inside your FX controller.

Within you'll have layers.
Inside those layers you'll find rectangles containing your animations called states.
Each state once selected has a few options including a checkbox called "Write Defaults".

When this is checked, we say that you are using Write Defaults On (or WD On).

Unity behaves differently based on if you have it checked or not. You need to learn the difference

[warm crater]

so for that to stop happening should I disable them?

[heavy zephyr]

No.
I'm encouraging you to learn the difference so you can understand what's happening instead of blindingly following instructions.

[warm crater]

I see, I tried testing but didnt change anything

does vrcfury separates that somewhere else?

[boreal horizon]

Yeah that’s what I did. I copy pasted the PC version in another project and made small conversions like the ones I mentioned above

I can check the parameters directly when I get home but I’m pretty sure they won’t show up bcs vrcfury kinda hides them??

I don’t know, I’ll see when I get home

[heavy zephyr]

As far as I know vrcfury just tries to keep things consistent so if you've just tried disabling it on one state/layer it probably re-enabled it since the rest of your avatar has it on. (That's good btw, the whole avatar should be using exclusively on or off unless you know what you're doing).

But the short answer is : With WD on, a state without any animation assigned will simply return the avatar to how it was at upload. So if you disable something at upload, your default empty state (the orange one) will consider that this is the default to return to.

[boreal horizon]

Do the toggles made by vrc fury count as animations? And it’s slowly switching between every single toggle the avatar has by itself. I have a video but I don’t know if I can share it here bcs it has a silly bikini I made as a joke flash itself

[heavy zephyr]

Everything an avatar does is an animation.

So yes, stuff created by vrcfury, if it adds parameters, will cause issues if you don't also add those new parameters on the quest version

[warm crater]

well whatever it is, is making me naked if I dont activate every single clothe visibility at the same time

[heavy zephyr]

Are you naked when you upload?

[warm crater]

yes, but if I do activate every clothes visibility it works just fine

like its not a issue in game, but is kinda heavy having to activate every thing at once

[heavy zephyr]

Then read what I said above again.

When using WD On, an empty state will return you to how you are at upload.

[warm crater]

yeh, I changed the FX controller things, on and off, testing, and all results are the same

[heavy zephyr]

You are missing the point.
Just changing the checkbox on or off won't magically fix your issue.

In your situation you either :

• Change your upload state to be different

• Redo your entire avatar logic to use WD Off instead

• Create proper default animations to disable the appropriate clothing of your avatar for each appropriate layer

[unreal juniper]

You can do a build into play mode with Gesture Manager so Fury does all it's stuff. While still in play mode, you can access the modified Parameters/Expressions/Menus and see what order it's plunking stuff in. They'll have a string of numbers and stuff after, but should still show you what it's doing upon upload

[boreal horizon]

Oh but with gesture manager it looks completely fine

It’s why it’s been so hard to solve

For both quest and PC

It just does that weird thing after it’s uploaded

[boreal horizon]

I’ll try looking for them again and show you if it’s not solved

[unreal juniper]

Not what I mean though 😅 you can access the parameters like you normally would but they'll be labeled something like "VRCFury_Parameters" on the inspector while in Play mode. You might find a mismatch there 👍

I've definitely had to troubleshoot mismatches this way before myself

[heavy zephyr]

Easiest way :
At the top of the unity window click on vrcfury -> create an editor-only copy.

That will apply all the vrcfury changes without uploading, then you'll be able to just find the parameters and copy them for the quest version

[junior void]

iirc these days vrcf syncs parameters if you upload the pc version first

it used to be iffy like that but it shouldnt be anymore. it works for me as well on the newest build where even install order does not matter anymore

[heavy zephyr]

Yeah but they have the quest and PC version in two separate projects

[boreal horizon]

The quest and pc version are both in different projects so i don't think i'll be able to copy paste..but what if I reexport the package and reimport it to the other to redo it

first is pc and second is quest.. they look the same, as they should since i didnt change anything

[somber sequoia]

oh interesting, I'd have those in the same project

[heavy zephyr]

The parameters are just an asset. You can copy them (in the project window) and move that to your other project

[boreal horizon]

I used to as well but then vrcaht wouldn't let me upload my stuff for quest bcs itd track poiyomi even when it wasnt supposed to

[somber sequoia]

that's weird, it shouldn't do that unless you actually have poiyomi on the quest avatar.

[boreal horizon]

here?? I can't seem to find it

[boreal horizon]

Trrrust me i know. It was very annoying

[heavy zephyr]

If you're talking about building an editor test copy then for some reason it's greyed out for you.

Make sure you have your avatar selected?

[boreal horizon]

Oh yeah pfft I'm blind

Sooo it loaded for a few seconds

and that was it

oh wait it made a test copy

do i turn that into the quest version?

[heavy zephyr]

You just care about the parameters on it, you need to copy those and put them on your quest version

[boreal horizon]

This? And I paste it on the PC and quest version?

Ahh you cannot see but it’s the one the test avatar is using

[heavy zephyr]

No need to paste on the PC version, that's already what it will have at upload if you don't add more things.

Just the quest version

[boreal horizon]

Do i have to find it from the files and paste it to the other project's files?

[heavy zephyr]

Create a copy, open the other project and drag n drop.

Otherwise yeah you can right click -> Open in file explorer and do it that way

[boreal horizon]

I'll try to upload it that way and let you know if it fixed it

[mental estuary]

VRCFury automatically does quest parameter alignment. None of this is necessary

[heavy zephyr]

They have the PC and Quest version in a different project, it is necessary

[mental estuary]

Still works over projects as long as the avatar ID is the same

[boreal horizon]

Well then why is it cycling all my toggles on and off by itself?

[boreal horizon]

Which is true, i haven't had this issue with much more complicated avatars

[heavy zephyr]

In what world would it work over projects? If the quest version doesn't exist in one, I don't see how it would magically update it when a change is made to the PC version for example

Unless they've come up with some black magic

[mental estuary]

It doesn't magically update. You upload the PC avatar, then upload the Quest version. The PC's parameters are cached in a separate location by VRCFury and then it reads those and aligns the parameters, adding in stub parameters for assets that are missing on the Quest version

https://vrcfury.com/tutorials/quest

[boreal horizon]

huh well it gave me a warning for quest this time

[heavy zephyr]

So they would just need to re-upload their quest version? It's neat but seems to be causing issues

[boreal horizon]

I've reuploaded it a lot of times, first the pc ofc

[mental estuary]

If you change something on the PC version of the avatar the Quest version needs to be reuploaded, yes

[boreal horizon]

Yeah it's what i've been doing and it keeps cycling around all my toggles on quest without me touching anything

[mental estuary]

The only time I've seen this happening is when someone adds a router instance to VRCOSC, and it causes a feedback loop. If you're not using VRCOSC then I wouldn't know, sorry

I just wanted to clarify on what VRCFury actually does for parameter alignment

[mighty widget]

what does this mean? (I have gogoloco)

[boreal horizon]

Huh I don't think I've used VRCOSC

[mental estuary]

At this point I'd suggest going to VRCFury's Discord server. If this cycling toggles thing is only happening with VRCFury enabled they'll be able to help out a lot better

[boreal horizon]

Thank you, I'll try that out as well

[boreal horizon]

Oh and i don't know if it has to do w anything but the avatar does have dextro

[mental estuary]

Extra systems on top could be causing it

[boreal horizon]

Maybe, thank you all for helping as much as you could though. I really appreciate it

[unreal juniper]

See they say that, but I've never had it work correctly or not flag up a mismatch error without me manually making sure the orders are exactly the same. And I upload a lot of avis 🤷‍♀️

(worth noting I also do PC and Quest in separate projects)

[mental estuary]

If you have issues with it, ask the people in VRCFury's server for help. You can't expect something to work when you have problems with it if you don't give feedback

[unreal juniper]

I don't feel it necessary to; I'm well used to the workflow of separating and lining it up myself at this point. But thank you ☺️

[mental estuary]

Then you can't complain when it doesn't work 🤷‍♂️

[unreal juniper]

I'm not complaining, I'm clarifying that it's not as bulletproof as the documentation claims and that it could be contributing to another user's issues. I'm not the only person here reporting the same thing either 👍

[mental estuary]

Nothing is bulletproof, and nothing is foolproof either. You should report your issue and then they can fix it. Clarifying in here that there's an issue does nothing to help software improve

[unreal juniper]

My goal was to help a user in here, not help improve Fury's software. I don't care enough about Fury (at least until they implement a permanent build mode) to submit a bunch of troubleshooting or logs for an issue I know how to work around. Idk if you have some personal stake in Fury that you feel the need to keep calling me out, but again - thank you for your suggestion. You clearly know enough to help this user without me 🫡

[mental estuary]

I wasn't trying to call you out, I just like improving software, and complaining about a problem with software without reporting it won't help anybody

[livid idol]

Day 2, Model is still broken
no ideas

when I dont attqach the chest, the Left Right Rotation works fine in the Muscle Group Preview

[dry ibex]

why does this physbone not move/show up? is it because there are too many child bones or something?

[dry ibex]

nevermind i figured it out! that was the problem

[livid idol]

Im dumb, I named the right and left legs backlwards

[static cipher]

Reoccurring issue that's been happening for over a year now: Whenever I add a bone to my .fbx, it breaks both the avatar and its prefab (by making the model disappear). Copy-pasting the new bones from the Avatar Configuration (where it looks fine) onto the prefab doesn't fix it. I have no consistent or found solution, and it makes me waste 4 hours pressing random buttons to fix it every time I want to add even a single bone, which isn't very fun.

[barren slate]

If its just that bone thats off, rotate it manually

[somber sequoia]

I don't see anything that says GogoLoco under your Assets folder, where that error says it's looking for it. so it seems you actually don't

[somber sequoia]

oh wow, that was the issue?

[barren slate]

Beautiful avatar btw

[dry ibex]

Thank you so much!

[somber sequoia]

you may need to switch the rig to generic, apply, then redo the humanoid setup from scratch.
Also make sure you are exporting from Blender with the same settings as previous - especially "Apply Scalings" which should be "FBX All" unless you know for sure otherwise

[lyric grove]

Potentially stupid question, is there a way to reorganize menu items created by VRCFury? like changing the order they appear in on the menu wheel in each submenu?

[somber sequoia]

yeah use / to separate: subMenuName/itemName

oh - I'm not sure how to re-order

the only time I use this is to move the face tracking stuff to a sub-menu

[static cipher]

sadly didnt work

[somber sequoia]

I don't see anything in the docs about it either

[somber sequoia]

if you drag a new copy of the model into the scene, is that one correct?

[static cipher]

yep, works just fine if it's a new one

but i can't exactly use that cause it's got all sorts of overrides and animations and stuff that are for the prefab

[somber sequoia]

you can copy all that stuff over to the new one using Pumkin's Tools

[static cipher]

tried that just now... doesn't seem to copy things properly

[somber sequoia]

it may not get everything

[spring crest]

whats going on ?

I Can't upload shit !

[balmy barn]

sdk saving us from that 827k 'avatar' (those red errors tell you why)

[somber sequoia]

wow that's quite a thing

[mild cloud]

I’m actually losing my goddamn mind EVERYTHING WAS WORKING SMOOTHLY YESTERDAY, WHAT THE FUCK CAUSES THIS SHIT?!

[balmy barn]

hey you got that error i had

adding a physbone somewhere and it would freak out constraints

didnt matter if it was removed after

[mild cloud]

I haven’t added anything tho.
It’s a prefab.

[balmy barn]

havnt tried to duplicate it after sdk 3.10.0-beta.1

[mild cloud]

?

I’m on 3.9.0

[balmy barn]

if you enable beta you can get the newer sdks' cause 3.9.0 is the one i had that constraint bug with

[mild cloud]

If I update will the avatar be lost

[balmy barn]

enable in settings if you want to try the beta (highly recommend backup first)

wont make avatars or its setting explode thats in their own scene file

some scripts miiiight not work if they arent updated , havnt encountered one yet

[mild cloud]

God I hate being dumb but will scripts go missing

Idk what or how they update at all.

[balmy barn]

vcc packages some i use, havnt noticed anything failing (yet) - if script fail it just throws a fit can always go back a sdk

[wary mural]

hello i got a problem with upload of avatars my vcc is updated but when i try to upload it did nothing and it say that i m not alow yet to upload and i don t know how to resolve it

[balmy barn]

spend time in vrchat you get upload rights after 5-50 hours or buy vrc+ for a one time boost

my alt got it really fast <1 hour

[wary mural]

they didn t say than with only new user rank we can create and upload ur avatar ?

[balmy barn]

if you just gotten new user might log in out/wait for it to catch up

[wary mural]

okay thanks ^^

[wary mural]

wait i need to logout on unity or vcc ?

[somber sequoia]

unity

you don't login to VCC, it's just a package manager and launcher

[wary mural]

oki ^^

[wise briar]

is someone able to upload for me?

[somber sequoia]

don't share your user account with people

[wise briar]

i know like upload it and let me clone or smth

[somber sequoia]

is it one that can be made public

[wise briar]

yea

nvm its fine my friend can do it he just texted back

[dense bloom]

i keep getting this error with the new SDK no matter what

[somber sequoia]

which version?

[dense bloom]

3.9.0

[dense bloom]

its every avatar ive tried to upload recently it gives the same error using the newest 3.9.0 sdk

are we still able to upload on older sdk's?

[somber sequoia]

yeah 3.9.0 is buggy, try 3.7.x or the 3.10 beta

you can still upload with older ones right now

[dense bloom]

thanks bro i appreciate you

[surreal marlin]

Hi everyone I'm modifying an avi I bought for upload, I would like to remove the tattoos on the skin but changing the skin texture doesn't seem to get rid of them. i can't find if they're on another material or layer, does anyone know where they might be? im very new to this

[proven quail]

If it's poiyomi, there are multiple layers in the 1 material. Check the decals

[surreal marlin]

OH! its a decal. i found it thank you

the skin is now lighter everywhere where the tattoos used to be, like a silhouette. any idea what that might be?

[somber sequoia]

how did you remove the decal?

[surreal marlin]

just unchecked it. is that the right way

[somber sequoia]

yeah probably what I'd try first

[surreal marlin]

its leaving behind that light silhouette now when i do that

pic for reference

[somber sequoia]

is there another decal that does that maybe?

[surreal marlin]

i toggled them all off, so don't think so

[proven quail]

emission?

matcap?

[surreal marlin]

not sure where to find either of those. in the skin material?

[proven quail]

yep, same material

poi has alot of stuff in their mats

[surreal marlin]

what is matcap?

[proven quail]

it makes things shiny. usually metal but it can also make a rim shade effect and such

find it in Shading

Emission will be in Special FX

[dense bloom]

hey im still having issues on old sdk as well? it gives me 2 errors still which makes no sense ?

the avatar ID was clear as well so i have no clue

[surreal marlin]

ok! matcap took care of it, and the special FX had a glitter effect on so i got that turned off too. tysm!

[proven quail]

the glitter should be fine, unless it was masked to the tattoo

[surreal marlin]

it was, so it looked a little funny

[zealous vector]

but like

i do have a thumbnail

wtf

i tried changing it

closing the project and reopening it

its jus

[somber sequoia]

neither of those errors is very helpful, sorry

[left gull]

try going back an SDK version if possible and re-uploading

one or two of the more recent SDK versions has a bug with thumbnails on upload

if that doesnt work then try changing the file type of the image maybe

[zealous vector]

already tried that

[zealous vector]

Il see if this works

[surreal marlin]

another question... i have removed all the clothing off the avatar, and the entire area where the shorts used to be is now invisible on the skin texture, how do i see that again

[somber sequoia]

If it isn't actually on the texture, you may have to paint it - lots of avatars use transparency to hide parts under clothing, or just outright delete faces.

[surreal marlin]

it is on the texture

i think something else is hiding it in unity

[somber sequoia]

could be an alpha mask

look at the material settings probably

[night ember]

or viseme

[surreal marlin]

is that under "alpha options" or is that different

i found it. it was under "dissolve" in special fx

[somber sequoia]

I have no idea what shader you are using, so you'd have to investigate yourself

[surreal marlin]

its poiyomi. sorry it is hard for me to know what information to give u guys cuz im so new to this lol

[somber sequoia]

yep, no worries

[surreal marlin]

if i add a decal onto the skin material, and then make a toggle using vrcfury, how do i add that decal for the toggle

[somber sequoia]

you want to enable or disable the decal? I usually use the alpha slider for that

[surreal marlin]

is that a vrcfury toggle option?

i want to be able to toggle it in game, does alpha slider do that

[somber sequoia]

I don't use fury for this, sorry. But the decal's alpha slider will usually hide or show a decal

[surreal marlin]

how do i make that slider visible in game as a toggle then

without vrcfury

[somber sequoia]

create two animations, one that sets it to 1, one to 0, and make a layer in the animator switch between them based on the value of a parameter.

(there are lots of tutorials about working with the animator)

[surreal marlin]

ok!

[digital gazelle]

Quick question, do you need to have the most recent SDK to be able to upload avatars?

Which is prefer a quick simple answer if possible please

Just trying to help out someone right now

[prisma sedge]

Yes 3.9.0 and make sure they have unity 2022.3.22

[left gull]

So im trying to add emissions to my model but for my legs to work i invert the mesh which seems to be preventing the the blue sections from lighting up with the rest of the model, is there a way to fix this without me needing to change the model's faces? nvm found a better solution

[chrome ore]

im adding something to my avi in blender
i dont remember but i wanna say that ive never added bones with unity
do i have to do that in blender. or can i do it in unity

[left gull]

bones are added in blender but existing ones can be edited in either (though depending on the bone and its use-case generally should also be edited in blender)

[chrome ore]

ok thx

[honest sun]

Im having trouble with an avatar. I can upload the test one perfectly fine but when it comes to the real one, it gives me the error "UnityEngine.Debug:LogError (object,UnityEngine.Object)" Any help is appreciated!

For clarification, when I say "test one" I am talking about the "Build & Test Your Avatar" In the VRC SDK

And the "real one" Is the published version

[ornate stump]

Screenshot list of error instead.

[honest sun]

Small issue… I can’t screenshot… my windows button doesn’t work

[ornate stump]

Open Snipping Tools app instead.

[honest sun]

Alright, one second

@ornate stump

[left gull]

yeah those dont really say what the issue is just that something failed

anything in your SDK upload panel?

[honest sun]

what do you mean?

[ornate stump]

You actually had "Failed to upload file" which is the error. Common causes are:

1. Invalid thumbnail image. Try changing thumnail image, preferably screenshot from scene.
2. Unstable internet connection. Try changing internet, using mobile hotspot, or use VPN like Cloudflare WARP.

[left gull]

The SDK panel you use to upload, it might give the reason and an auto-fix there

[honest sun]

ive tried doing it with and without an image and neither worked

[ornate stump]

You can't upload without an image to begin with.

[honest sun]

yeah, i looked and didn't see any auto fixes

wait

just found one i missed

trying it now

Holy shit it worked

thank yall so much for the help lol ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[ornate stump]

Was that something to Autofix?

[honest sun]

yeah lol

[ornate stump]

If it's something need to autofix, it would show error Avatar Validation Failed error. What was to autofix?

[honest sun]

im not entirely sure... 😓

[ornate stump]

Figured.

[honest sun]

i just saw "autofix" and clicked it immediately

[left gull]

So ive tried using pumpkin tools to fix this but it didnt work, is there a way to get my animation back to how its meant to be ( #avatar-general message ) currently its seems to jumble up when testing in gesture manager after i reset the pose in the configure menu ended up remaking it

[glass solar]

so for some reason the ability wont work unless one of the expressions is on

and even then it just breaks

dosent help that the animators are completely different with seperate parameters

I seriously need help on this

[spice leaf]

Can anyone help i use linux

[near ivy]

tell me what to do, I only have a console in Unity

[warped scroll]

hey so I've been trying to figure this out ever since before I moved. Why do my menu icons keep getting unbound on upload? Every time I upload a new version of my model, I have to set all the menu icons again and it really slows down the process of adding small updates to it.

[odd inlet]

what does all of this mean 😔

im new to uploading

[junior void]

it means you likely forgot to add a dependency to your project

do you have vrcfury AND gogo loco installed?

[odd inlet]

i should, but i'll double check

[junior void]

a common mistake is to think the gogo loco vrcfury package is all u need but in reality, you must also import gogo loco by itself

[odd inlet]

where do you get gogo?

and is it free? 😭 im broke

[junior void]

yes its free, you can find it if you just google it

[odd inlet]

alr, thank uu!!

i applied vrcfury and gogo 😭

[junior void]

you have 7 red errors of which you only show 1

also, there's gotta be a script on your root that isnt working. so likely you forgot something else. check the dependency list on the site you got the avatar from

[somber sequoia]

that message isn't useful by itself, got anymore?

[spark walrus]

Hey ! I'm trying to export a avatar to FBX from unity to blender. But when I open my project from the VRChat Creator Companion it proceeds to not actually open anything, preventing me from converting it to a FBX. Could anyone help with the cause / how to proceed ?

[ornate stump]

Unable to open unity is the primary issue for everything in making avatar. Check if you had unity installation assigned in the vcc settings.

[ornate stump]

And on side note, you should not do "export fbx" from unity. The model itself should already have fbx file.

[spark walrus]

That would mean I can import the unity package file directly to blender then, right ?

[ornate stump]

You should import the package into unity, and you should find the fbx file among imported content.

[spark walrus]

That was indeed the cause, thank you !

[spark walrus]

Incredible insight, I see the FBX folder. I can't thank you enough

[surreal marlin]

Trying to add a tattoo to the back of my avi but the texture has a seam right at the spine so i cant get it to look right. is there some tool i can use to make an image go over a texture seam like that

[flat hill]

I have a question

[somber sequoia]

don't ask to ask, just ask your (detailed) questions

[vapid slate]

ok so i uploaded an avi and the face is missing... how do i fix it...?

(i can ss the project too)

NVM i fixed it

[flat hill]

Where can I find the vrm convertor thingy?

The one for Vrc Sdk

[somber sequoia]

https://extensions.blender.org/add-ons/vrm/

[flat hill]

thk

[somber sequoia]

oh - you should probably do that in Blender anyway, just export a .fbx

[flat hill]

I have unity

[somber sequoia]

good, you should

[flat hill]

can I use the same one for both?

[somber sequoia]

same what?

[flat hill]

The link you sent?

[somber sequoia]

no that's a blender add-on, it has nothing to do with Unity

[flat hill]

k

I figured it out

[safe locust]

I need some advice for a quick custom rig I whipped up regarding blinking, if anyone who knows about how the sdk handles facial rigs, if it can at all, or if theres a work around for blendshapes. The issue is the eyelids for my avatar needs to use bones to blink properly, rotating around the x axis instead of the verts jumping from the basis directly to the blink blendshape position.

[lilac musk]

The VRC way of doing it is through blend shapes. So if you want to use bones, you'll need to create your own animations. Add them to an animation controller layer with appropriate controls/transitions.

[safe locust]

I was thinking about doing that, set up the blink as part of a custom idle animation and use that and leave the blink blendshape blank

but the problem with that is i need the eyelids to work with the visemes and eye movements, theyre the only part of the face that moves besides the mouth pieces and eyeballs

[devout locust]

I need some advice so I'm trying to make a rex avatar and I can't see the avi's eyes without a eye lens but I'm trying to make it quest compatible without one.

[somber sequoia]

I usually delete that mesh in Blender, if possible. You can't make it transparent, so....

[lilac musk]

There are no parameters for the eye movements, so you'd have to either find your own solution or use blendshapes.

[timber wharf]

tis kinda messed up to have grabpass as default feature for a base avatar🫠

[somber sequoia]

wow yeah, definitely

[fierce thunder]

physbone flying ingame but not in unity, how to fix?

its not just the tail its every physbone

and yes the unity image is taken in playmode

[timber wharf]

@fierce thunder afaik the latest sdk is messed up and i seen some of it in beta so try lowering version to 3.9.0

[somber sequoia]

I'd go back to the last 3.7

[timber wharf]

@somber sequoia uh uh #announcements message

cant upload new stuff🤷‍♂️

[somber sequoia]

As of December 02, yes.

[fierce thunder]

Didnt work, i tried 3.9, 3.8.2 and 3.7.6

any other ideas?

[worn kiln]

try 3.10.0 beta.1

[fierce thunder]

didnt work

[worn kiln]

more liekly setting issue or asset issue to me.

[fierce thunder]

yeah prob

ill look trough my files

[supple prawn]

Does anybody know how to do Weight paint?

[somber sequoia]

yep

[timber wharf]

perhaps

[proven quail]

You import the fbx into blender, in object mode select the mesh you want to weight paint. Then change to weight paint mode. The vertex groups is the bone the weight paint is applied to. As long as the vertex group is named the same as the bone, it will link.

[tulip surge]

Does anyone know how to fix this and gesture manager

[somber sequoia]

install whatever package is missing - check the creators' documentation for clues as to what it might be.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's VRCFury, given where that is

[proven quail]

Now, just color on the mesh. Red means the bone has total control of moving the mesh, and blue means no control of the mesh. Play around with the brush size and weight value to get the mesh moving how you want

[somber sequoia]

strongly suggest enabling auto-normalization

[proven quail]

You can test your weight paint by entering object mode, clicking the armature, going to pose mode, and rotating/moving the bone(s) and see if the mesh moves in the desired way

[somber sequoia]

you don't need to swtich back to pose mode for that, just rotate the bones while in weight paint mode

and in most cases, don't move bones, just rotate them.

oh I see - you're painting by just selecting the mesh

In object mode, select the armature, shift-select the mesh, then do painting, and you can rotate the bones to test.

You can also apply weight in edit mode! Click on the mesh and go into edit mode. You can select the vertices/lines/faces you want to apply the weight to and under the vertex groups there is a weight value slider and an apply weight button. You can click on different vertex groups to apply weights to different bones

[proven quail]

Sometimes you want to move the bones. For example, grabables. If I want an axe to be grabbed off a backpack, I want to make sure the entire axe mesh is weighted to the axe bone and not the backpack bone. This way I can use parent constraints to change the axe parent from the backpack and the avatar hand with FX logic, making the axe grabable.

[somber sequoia]

yep, absolutely in that case you would.

[proven quail]

Most of the time yes, you just want to rotate the bones as that is the normal use case

[desert hull]

Can y'all help me? I made an avatar which combines the same character in two different forms, but only his regular form's visemes and blinking works, their faces are different mesh, the form on the right can only move its eyes. looking for a quest compatible way.

[somber sequoia]

VRChat's viseme thing will only drive one face mesh

So you'd have to setup animations triggered by the Viseme parameter or use other tricks to make this work

I'd probably just do these as two different avatars, if you're already restrained by making a quest version

[supple prawn]

i see. i was getting somewhere with that, but i encountered a problem with the weight painting when trying to Normalize it.

it just wont let me normalize all groups

[somber sequoia]

I paint with auto-normalize on, but haven't had an issue with that - does it give you an error?

[supple prawn]

nope, it just doesnt let me

[somber sequoia]

clicking "deform pose bones" there does nothing?

well I guess it should have already normalized by that point

[pale ridge]

what is the gitignore file for whenever i make a new avatar project

[somber sequoia]

for telling git to ignore files you don't want checked into source control

ignore it if you don't use git - I find it very useful

[pale ridge]

whats git for

[somber sequoia]

source control, backups

[supple prawn]

it just stays in the subset.

[blazing garnet]

Hey there, so today I got this
https://sahkert.booth.pm/items/6199796

I've got the textures all set up and everything, but I'm not sure how to make the ears detachable.
I have translated their description and have:
-Gotten the character's textures down
-Gotten the shader they listed
-The character looks fine in-game

But:
Some of the mechanics that were in the video don't seem to work for me.
I also don't see the outfits they use in the video.
Would appreciate if someone could help me fix/let me know what they're saying in the video.
Or, if someone already has a fixed version of this, let me copy it (I have already purchased it from booth)

[proven quail]

Did you drag the prefab into the scene? The materials and everything should be upload ready with booth avatars (for PC at least)

If you had to add materials/textures maybe you dragged the fbx instead?

[blazing garnet]

I'm not sure, to be honest. It's my first time doing this and, frankly, the instructions didn't seem to carry me all too hard.

[proven quail]

The booth page seems to use the photos to advertise compatible clothing for the base that doesn't come with the avatar. The photos after this one are all separate assets you can buy for the base

[blazing garnet]

Ah okay. Gotcha.
I guess the only question now is for the detachable ears.

It doesn't seem to be working, which is rather unfortunate.

Either it's a toggle I can't understand or I've messed something up...

[proven quail]

The menu might be in Japanese

[blazing garnet]

It is, yeah.

Sadly, I was born Chinese... and am cursed with understanding about a fourth of this which only makes it more confusing LOL

[proven quail]

It's best to translate your menus for personal avatars into your desired language. You can find the menu in the avatar descriptor (click the avatar, look in the inspector and scroll down) find the menu and double click it to open it. You have to copy and paste every menu option into Google translate and paste it into the option but it is worth it to have a useable avatar.

[blazing garnet]

Ah, okay.

I'll look at that real quick, thanks.

[chilly solar]

i wanna make a silly avatar that just kinda sits on the ground and slides along it like those little plushy animal ones but idk how. i dont know what bone id weight it to. i dont want the arms or anything to move but its gotta be weighted to something? i did just the hips to test it but ofc it moves weird when you walk

[proven quail]

You can just have it weighted normally and create a custom locomotion controller. Or, take vrcfury's locomotion controller and replace all the walking with a sitting animation

[chilly solar]

i dont know how to do that :o

[proven quail]

Another option is to have an armature weighted to nothing, and then just add the plush mesh to the avatar in unity. You can click and drag it on the avatar in the heirarchy and it will be parented to your avatar's bubble. The bones will all move with the default locomotion animations, but the plush will just sit there and move with you, playing no animation

[chilly solar]

ooo okay ill try this

[proven quail]

Add a rotation constraint that parents the rotation to the head bone, so the plush moves with the head

And have the view at the height of the plush and boom. Now your a plushy

[chilly solar]

i want it to rotate side to side with the head but not up and down, can i do that?

[somber sequoia]

You can restrict which axes a rotation constraint affects, yes.

[chilly solar]

how do you use the rotation constraint?

i put it on the mesh for the avi and dropped the avi under the head bone

[somber sequoia]

did you read the docs?

[chilly solar]

no :o

[somber sequoia]

https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/avatar-dynamics/constraints/vrc-rotation-constraint

[proven quail]

Don't put the plush under the head bone, put it just on the avi

If you put it under the head bone, it will move and completely rotate with the head. By just dropping it under the avatar, it will not move with any bones. Then you can control the rotation of the plush only on the one axis using the rotation constraint.

[supple prawn]

Fixed my weight paint. Encountered another issue with the movement and the weight paint

[chilly solar]

my avi now says its too short but in blender it says its .8 meters tall. i applied scale and still nothing :c

sometimes online said to adjust the position a bit in unity but that didnt help either

[night ember]

.8 is tiny

[chilly solar]

its more than 20 cms tho, i want this avi to be quite small

[night ember]

its based on your shoulders

[chilly solar]

well still its not smaller than 20cms and im getting the error anyway

[brittle condor]

Hi, sorry for asking this again, I’ve just been looking everywhere and still don’t have a clear answer.

I want to toggle an object that follows my avatar. I’ve figured out the toggle part with VRCFury but I want the object to be animated and match my avatar’s movements. Like when my avatar is idle, the object has an idle animation, when I run it also runs, etc. What are the exact steps I need to take to achieve this?

[somber sequoia]

VRLabs has a follower prefab, I'd start with that

[blazing garnet]

Hello there, update on this:
I am able to remove the ear, but it doesn't seem to function like a pen like the model says. Instead, it decays instantly and there is no setting to change that.
I'm wondering if this is because I need to register like a prop or something towards the line of that. (I have no idea how this works, I know everything I say will sound real dumb)

[somber sequoia]

there's no "prop registering"

[vapid slate]

ok so everytime i click "build and publish" everything {on the right hand side} goes gray... any solutions....?

[blazing garnet]

Right. Gotcha.
In which case, I'm not sure why the thing is unable to work like a pen as written on the product page. Whenever it's taken off, it decays right away.

[somber sequoia]

yeah no idea at all without actually owning the asset and investigating

[blazing garnet]

Ah.

[coarse belfry]

for an avatar prop to be grabbable, does it have to be a physbone?

Sorry, very new to this!

[night ember]

grabbable by everyone? yes

grabbable for only you? no since you can use contacts and constraints

[coarse belfry]

hmm, can you attach a physbone to a world constraint prop?

[night ember]

sure? but you gotta be more specific

[coarse belfry]

basically what I am trying to do is make it so that I can place a prop on the ground that people can go up to and grab stuff out of

[night ember]

yea?

you can grab stuff sure but its not like an actual grab

[coarse belfry]

yeah its still tethered to the physbone, hmm

[night ember]

like you can "pick things up" but you cant spontaneously make something like a gun work

[coarse belfry]

yes it's just picking up and holding

nothing like a gun working

[night ember]

then sure?

just give the physbone stretch and set it to max immobile

[full vigil]

how do I get the physbones for the shirt and the breast to stop clipping and the shirt to move with the breasts

[night ember]

the shirt needs to use the same bones

[full vigil]

what does that mean

[night ember]

the shirt needs to be using the same bones as the avatar

[full vigil]

it is

[night ember]

is it a separate fbx or something

[full vigil]

I'm not really sure what that means?

[night ember]

is it actually a part of the avatar or not

[full vigil]

the shirt isn't part of the avatar, no

[mellow scaffold]

how would i fix this?? i tried my hand at adding an fbx animation to a bone and idk what im doing💔

[night ember]

if the armature is identical then either do it in blender or use something like modular avatar

[full vigil]

okay

[somber sequoia]

fix what?

be specific.

[mellow scaffold]

his ears and tail are unnaturally big and i was wanting to know how to fix it

[somber sequoia]

really depends on why it's happening

is it in play mode?

[warped scroll]

Seriously I'm at a fucking loss, why are my menu icons resetting every time I upload my model? I even reinstalled VRCFury and still nothing changed.

[grave cave]

i’m having this weird issue when using any of the blend shapes on this, anytime one of the blend shapes is more than zero the polys start to show. i wanna say it’s the settings i’ve been using when exporting from blender.

[somber sequoia]

Do you have "legacy blendshape normals" checked in the FBX import settings?

(in unity: click the model file, look in the first tab of the inspector)

[grave cave]

PFFFF

[somber sequoia]

"no" I guess 🙂

[grave cave]

that actually worked tysm

[somber sequoia]

yep - there are cases where it doesn't and I can solve that too, but that usually does it

[grave cave]

i tried copying the other fbx on it since it wasn’t having the issue but fortunately that’s all it was

[somber sequoia]

(I export from Blender with "smoothing" under "geometry" set to "face" and then import normals, without that checkbox on)

[mellow scaffold]

yeah, it appears in play mode

and in-game

[somber sequoia]

then if it's not like that by default in Unity, it's caused by an animation, so you'll have to see what's enabled by default

[mellow scaffold]

what do i need to check? ive looked over things and i dont know what to press

[somber sequoia]

I'd watch the animator when going into play mode, see what's running

[knotty stump]

hi, ive been uploading for the last year or so, making my own avatars. i go to do a small update on one of my main avatars and get this when i hit upload

this is the first time ive gotten this popup and it wont let me actually do the upload of this avatar that i already have uploaded to my account and am just trying to make a small change on

[surreal marlin]

bumping

does anyone know?

[somber sequoia]

if you want to do it on the base texture, a 3D texturing program like Substance painter would let you do this.
Otherwise, I think there's an option with Poiyomi's decals that let you position stuff not based on UV, but I haven't tried it

[surreal marlin]

will look into the poiyomi part. i dont have substance painter or anything like that unfortunayely

[somber sequoia]

but those things can be got 🙂

[brittle condor]

I’ve downloaded that but can’t figure out how to add animations to the object so that it syncs with my own movements

[somber sequoia]

I don't know what you are trying to do

Also to note: I've used this once, and didn't alter it in any way - I was suggesting it as a starting point, something to look at and learn from. I probably can't help much further than that.

[knotty stump]

nvm, closed and reopened the project seems to have fixed the issue

[mellow scaffold]

nothing really moves or anything, its all still except for the tail since it has physbones on it

[somber sequoia]

obviously without having your project in front of me, I can't tell you what is going on here.

I'm just suggesting things that you should investigate, not telling you an exact answer.

[brittle condor]

Ah, I see. Thank you anyway 👍

[surreal marlin]

for money 😪

isnt substance painter paid

[somber sequoia]

yes?

[surreal marlin]

yea. im not really financially in a place to be buying software

[somber sequoia]

okay

[surreal marlin]

maybe someday

[somber sequoia]

I did say "like Substance Painter"

[surreal marlin]

time for me to go to alternativeto.com

heh

[somber sequoia]

huh, today I have learned that exists

[mellow scaffold]

i understand, im trying my best to explain my situation so i can get accurate help, i didnt mean any meanness when i replied, so i apologize

[somber sequoia]

no worries - I didn't perceive any meanness - I just want to be clear that I generally offer hints and suggestions and tips, but I'm not usually going to walk you through a solution.

[raw spruce]

I’m not sure where to post this. Maybe it’s already known, but I’m sharing it in case someone has the same question and finds it through DiscordSearch

Avatar Creation – Avatar Build & Test Linux: Local offline testing - Solution
When using the VRChat SDK on Linux, avatars do not appear in Steam VRChat Linux.
Here’s a practical solution (although an official SDK update in the future would be great).

1. Locate the folder

~/.local/share/VRChat/VRChat/Avatars

This is where your test avatars are stored in .vrca format.

2. Locate the Proton folder for VRChat

~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/438100/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/VRChat/VRChat

Inside you will find the “Avatars” folder. This path is Proton’s equivalent of the Windows folder:
%UserProfile%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\VRChat\

3. In ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/438100/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/VRChat/VRChat
   delete or rename the “Avatars” folder.

4.Create a symbolic link (Symlink) Point it to ~/.local/share/VRChat/VRChat/Avatars with the name Avatars.

Bash:
ln -s ~/.local/share/VRChat/VRChat/Avatars ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/438100/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/VRChat/VRChat/Avatars

Done. This method was tested on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS with the VRChat-Avatars-3.9.0.unitypackage SDK.

[somber sequoia]

this is actually a neat site, glad you mentioned it

[mellow scaffold]

great news, im happy to give you any backround info, since i dont know what to try, but you also dont have to help me anymore,

[somber sequoia]

I use Linux and never actually tried to fix this - you can do most stuff in Unity's play mode. But neat that you figured it out!

oh neat, there are some .vrca files there, not sure I ever looked

[surreal marlin]

ur welcome

my go to for when i cant afford software

thats how i found GIMP instead of photoshop lol, i edit textures in there

[raw spruce]

Let we know how it went for you. It worked for me

[somber sequoia]

It's not really part of my workflow, mostly 'cause it didn't work, but I'll have to try it out now 🙂

[somber sequoia]

I've been using gimp for so many years now

[timber wharf]

theres krita btw🤷‍♂️

[somber sequoia]

sure is - I prefer gimp for most of what I need to do

[long kraken]

Quick question. If I already have a avatar and I just wanted to add a clothing option. Couldn’t I just use blender to add it and bring it back to unity without it fucking up everything?

Like it just adds it to the avatar without me having to redo everything

[night ember]

if you havent unpacked the fbx in scene sure

[heady sparrow]

when i hit play, my avatar turns into this blob lookin thing, anyone ever had this problem ?

[night ember]

rig tab probably

[heady sparrow]

i edited the mesh in blender and exported it into the fbx that was in unity

[heady sparrow]

can't be that, the avatar was fine before i changed the mesh

[night ember]

well did you actually check if its fine in the rig tab

[heady sparrow]

it is

[night ember]

was it unpacked

[heady sparrow]

nope

[long kraken]

Thanks, I only asked because I want to add a shirt or pair of pants to a avi I bought from gumroad. Since Christmas is coming

[night ember]

did you overwrite or did you just drag in the mesh of one fbx into the slot in scene

[heady sparrow]

just checked again, the bones are fine but the avatar mesh is a mess

[heady sparrow]

overwrite

[night ember]

define "mess"

[night ember]

reset the pose

[heady sparrow]

how do i do that?

[night ember]

where you enforce tpose

theres also a reset pose

[heady sparrow]

where?

in unity?

[night ember]

yes?

where else would it be?

[heady sparrow]

idk, blender or sum qvq

where is it cuz idk where those 2 are

[night ember]

in the rigging menu

like when you go to configure a rig in unity

[heady sparrow]

it's good now but it's saying it ain't t posing now

do i force t posin?

[night ember]

yea

its not generally needed but depends on what is "not tpose"

[heady sparrow]

the thumbs were off to unity ig

[night ember]

yes and no

cause unity has a fairly specificity when it comes to a tpose

[heady sparrow]

it's all good now, imma check when i play the project

all gud!

tysm!

[blazing garnet]

Hey there, I've seen in some avatars you're able to swap the skins used with a wheel button.
How would I do this?

Thanks!

[long kraken]

Is it best to add clothes to a rindo model inside of blender instead of trying to use plugins in unity?

Because I’ve tried to do it in unity and everything was overlapping

[long kraken]

So maybe using the cats plugin I just add the clothes to the model in blender?

[junior void]

It's not as straightforward as pressing a bitton

It is and isn't. If you encounter issues, it's best to understand why and then make a choice based on the solution

[river owl]

im having an issue where my thumb only on my left hand keeps bending the wrong way [closed hand for example makes it spread more instead of closing]

[glass solar]

I still need help w this

[blazing garnet]

Hey there, so after looking at that and some other videos, I haven't really
found out how the components in the video work
and haven't found any other options.

Would appreciate any help

[somber sequoia]

do you have a more specific question?

[timber wharf]

you make it like normal toggles animations except having just one frame in multiple animations you make multiple frames each frame being a different state. then a single float used as motion time will show this or that frame🤷‍♂️

[soft mauve]

hello i am trying to upload an avatar but it is failing, i see this in console

Library/PackageCache/com.unity.collections@2.1.4/Unity.Collections/NativeList.cs(851,24): error CS7036: There is no argument given that corresponds to the required formal parameter 'safety' of 'NativeArray<T>.ReadOnly.ReadOnly(void*, int, ref AtomicSafetyHandle)'

[blazing garnet]

One of the videos suggested using VRCFury and I downloaded it, but I still don't have a toggle option.
I'm just not sure how to replicate the video though. That's about it.

[somber sequoia]

ah, I don't use Fury for this if I can help it.

[blazing garnet]

Gotcha. Any idea how I would do this with just the vrc tools?

[somber sequoia]

record an animation that does the thing you want done, setup a menu item to change a variable you use in the animator to activate the animation.

[blazing garnet]

Ah, I'll go try that out. Thanks again.

[blazing garnet]

Sorry, so I've found a tutorial on this, but I am unable to add parameters or create a base layer and all that. Any idea why this might be?

Oh, I'm stupid, I've got to make a controller first.

My fault.

Still new to this, do pardon me.

[brazen citrus]

updated the SDK, now i keep getting failed to build avatar, then when i check console it says this.

[blazing garnet]

So, I've been messing around with this a little bit.
I'm still mostly confused.

The outfit I am using requires me to use Modular Avatars.
However, I have absolutely no clue how to toggle the default outfit and toggle on this alternate outfit.
I've looked at a few tutorials but I don't seem to get anywhere. I just don't understand all of this.

As the Modular Avatars documentation page writes, I have "set up" the outfit.
However, I don't know what to do when they say "set up your animators as normal".
I also don't know how the override for the outfit would work if the original outfit is done differently.

Send help. Thanks in advance.

[ornate stump]

You have to update vrcfury and modular avatar too.

[ornate stump]

Where does it say "set up your animators as normal"? I have never heard that term before.

[blazing garnet]

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

[brazen citrus]

they already are updated. i update everything before opening my project

never had an issue until the new sdk

[ornate stump]

That just means to setup toggle in animator as you usually do.

[ornate stump]

I had OptimizedHook failed once I updated the sdk but not modular avatar. I update modular avatar and it's fixed.

[blazing garnet]

ah skill diff for me i don't understand how to lol

ive only ever used blendr for animation

[ornate stump]

The tutorial is for linking clothing to the base avatar. That page doesn't include how to make toggle for the clothing.

[blazing garnet]

ah.

lots to learn sigh,

[ornate stump]

So hence it just said "make toggle like you usually do".

[blazing garnet]

all this to act cute online..

lol

Thanks tho

all the tutorial s ive seen have small steps skipped over that i just Dont understand

its quite pain.

[ornate stump]

It usually is the basic that you usually have been done which isn't exclusive to that tutorial topic.

[blazing garnet]

yeah.

[unreal juniper]

Pxinky on YouTube has good tutorials for making toggles manually iirc

[blazing garnet]

thanks, I'll check this tomorrow.

[brazen citrus]

i said its updated

[ornate stump]

I just said how I fixed mine.

[long kraken]

I brought the fbx into blender and added the outfit i wanted then used CAT to merge it with the avatar and saved it into unity.

is it maybe something to do with my export settings?

[ornate stump]

Apply Scalings = FBX All

[long kraken]

thank you 😭 because im NOT using plugins. they just make me yell

[ornate stump]

I'm also not using the plugin.

[unreal juniper]

.... CATS is a plug-in 😉😂

[nova spear]

i might cry...

[ornate stump]

You might have to manually lock all the material.

[nova spear]

but idk which ones it wants me to do

and i dunno how to lock liltoon materials

[ornate stump]

Locking is exclusive to poiyomi shader.

[nova spear]

oh ok

the fixed it, thank you!

[left gull]

So i do parameter viesemes for my avatar but it requires Material._Main Tex_ST for the animation which shows for the original shader (Mobile/Standard lite) but i cant seem to find that on Poiyomi Toon, does anyone know what it'd be called in poi?

[ornate stump]

It's the base color texture.

[sick star]

How do people make custom afk animations? Always wondered

[ornate stump]

There is a sample afk in Action layer.

[balmy barn]

afk=true , do stuff ( vrc_AvatarV3ActionLayer for one exsample ) , changed mine years ago so its random

[last tulip]

guys do i only need to update the sdk in the creator companion or also upload them? wich wouldn't make sense to me

[ornate stump]

or also upload them
What does this mean?

[last tulip]

upload to vrchat

[ornate stump]

How does updating sdk doesn't make sense to you?

[last tulip]

uploading wouldnt make sense, because of unfinished projects for example

[vapid slate]

would anyone know why my entire builder goes grey when i click "build and publish" its been happening for a few days and it hasnt resolved itself even after a pc restart.

[ornate stump]

You could just update the sdk in any state of your project.

[last tulip]

yes i know. thats my only question if its only that

[blazing garnet]

Hello there. How does one create an animation in which the materials are swapped out?

If there's a quick tutorial on this that'd be awesome, I couldn't find anything that wasn't missing tiny details I didn't really get.

[vapid slate]

would anyone know why my entire builder goes grey when i click "build and publish" its been happening for a few days and it hasnt resolved itself even after a pc restart.

[somber sequoia]

there should be lots of tutorials for this one, what details did you not get?

[modest ridge]

did you try to log out and in again?

they really need to fix this damn sdk they force us to update to

[vapid slate]

YEA

i did

its really annoying me

[fleet ingot]

Hey can y’all help pls whenever I try to open my project for the first time on vrcc it doesn’t open😭

[somber sequoia]

there's also #creator-companion if it's specifically about VCC

[fleet ingot]

Oh

Thx bro

[blazing garnet]

sorry, any idea why this might be?

[blazing garnet]

one used animations to do it, where they recorded and replaced the materials and it create keyframes. I for some reason am unable to create keyframes when I do this

[somber sequoia]

make sure the animation you are editing is in an animation controller that's in the Animator slot on your VRC Avatar Descriptor, on the root object.

otherwise the animator isn't going to know what object you want to animate

[blazing garnet]

Gotcha. I think I'm missing the part where I link the animation to the controller.

Oh, nope, I have that

That's weird.

[somber sequoia]

either put it into an active state or just drag it into a layer and it'll make a new state

[blazing garnet]

More likely, though. I'm just dumb.

[blazing garnet]

How would I put it into an "active state"?

[somber sequoia]

in the inspector right there, see the Motion slot

that's where you put the animation clip

[blazing garnet]

oh yup

[somber sequoia]

(it's there already)

[blazing garnet]

Right.

In which case, I'm not sure why it's not creating keyframes. I have it attached to the hair I'm trying to color.

[vapid slate]

its still gray...

[somber sequoia]

"attached to the hair"?

[blazing garnet]

the controller is in the animator of the hair, like the video showed

[blazing garnet]

And any idea how to fix this?

[somber sequoia]

oh - you have Modular Avatar. I don't know how that works at all, I wouldn't be surprised if you can't use the standard methods for objects on your avatar with modular components.

[blazing garnet]

Ah.

[somber sequoia]

wait a sec, why is that Animator component there?

[blazing garnet]

that's what the video showed.

[somber sequoia]

you should only have one of those, on the avatar root object.

[blazing garnet]

oh...

that explains a lot...

[somber sequoia]

it should already be there

there are fringe cases where using another one makes sense, but this is not one

[blazing garnet]

The avatar already has an animator it seems

[somber sequoia]

yes, it should

[blazing garnet]

mhm

but I can't add another one, what should I do?

[somber sequoia]

why do you want another one?

[blazing garnet]

because the tutorial seems to want me to add a new animation controller to the character so I can create keyframes for the hair colors

[somber sequoia]

animation controller is not the same as that animator component

[vapid slate]

would be awesome if someone gave suggestions ...

[somber sequoia]

If someone had suggestions, they'd have provided them by now. Spamming this is not going to be helpful

[vapid slate]

not spamming

[somber sequoia]

Ran into another issue where the hair kinda detaches a little bit when I preview animation. I'm guessing that's because it didn't attach to the body through bone proxy properly but this is what I did for another part and it seemed to work fine...

Hi guys, can you tell me how to fix a hand so that it is not transparent from the inside?

[junior void]

Set culling to none on your shader if it supports that option

[junior void]

Probably because whatever you did that for didn't have bones. Anything with armature must be parented correctly

Oh wait during anim record? That's normal

[blazing garnet]

ohhh

lol

yeah I just tested in game

it seems fine

sorry bout that

[junior void]

It's cuz the hair isn't part of the fbx that you're animating

[blazing garnet]

ah.

I ended up just giving up on the toggle ngl

😭

not advanced enough yet maybe after some time I'll get good enough

[junior void]

Can't help you if you don't share

I don't read chats backwards so if you did alr I missed it

[small lion]

thank you so much ❤️

[blazing garnet]

Hello there, is there a way where when I toggle something, it untoggles another button?

[blazing garnet]

Yeah, I get that. I'm just working on some other stuff for now and might go back to it later. Sorry bout that.

Was busy for a bit but what about for gogoloco? Like since i want to use a different afk animation for it or is it basically just like the screenshot

[somber sequoia]

the gogo loco documentation explains in detail, with images, how to replace any of the animations it uses

[sick star]

Ah okay thank you

[heavy zephyr]

Yes, you need to use a parameter driver for that.

[daring lark]

How do I fix this? Randomly I loose quality in game

[balmy barn]

quest? my first though its running low on memory and does wierd things to textures to not crash 🤷‍♂️ no idea

[silent yarrow]

Hey I have a noob question. I've made a new expression menu for custom sliders but it's removed the ability to play the default animations like the backflip, how do I add those back in under a submenu?

[somber sequoia]

iirc those are triggered by setting VRCEmote to specific values - I wonder if there's a list of them somewhere
