[lapis aurora]

i rigged up the duplicated eyes

is that wrong then

[night ember]

Did you headchop

[lapis aurora]

yes

[grizzled salmon]

can somebody help me my balloon when I turn on world drop its sticking to my hand is the root bone the prob

[night ember]

Vrchat doesnt use it outside of mmd worlds using it so its not a requirement

[lapis aurora]

i see

i can mess with that after i suppose

why is the headchop not working? did i maybe do something wrong?

[somber sequoia]

nothing in here shows how you have the constraint setup, maybe show that?

[grizzled salmon]

huh

[night ember]

Is neck the duplicate bone or

[lapis aurora]

neck is not the duplicate bone

[night ember]

Try global scale factor

[lapis aurora]

setting it to 0?

[night ember]

Wheres the bone

[viral folio]

Does building the avatar take a while? I’m just sitting watching a grey bar

[night ember]

Yes and no?

It can

[grizzled salmon]

which bone

[lapis aurora]

still all black

[night ember]

For the balloon?

[somber sequoia]

oh fury - no idea how that works, sorry. There is a vrcfury discord though

[grizzled salmon]

i changed it to balloon1 because i thought it would work

but no

[night ember]

Go to the vrcfury discord

[grizzled salmon]

can u send link

[somber sequoia]

it's probably on their website

[viral folio]

Alr, still just on a grey bar

[timber wharf]

not that much

on potato can take a couple minutes, thats it

[spark walrus]

Hello I'm legally blind and I just finished making an avatar and a friend and some hurdles of unity with the octagons and I was wondering if I could have some help going through them due to my lack of vision if this is the wrong Channel I apologize

Just shoot me a DM

[night ember]

Just state your issues

No reason for dm

[lapis aurora]

the viewport preview ball isnt displaying anymore

i tried reloading the sdk

and gizmo visiblity is on

[night ember]

Are you sure it is

[lapis aurora]

the positional values arent off in lala land

am i sure it's on?

[night ember]

Theres a dropdown

[lapis aurora]

everything in the dropdown is toggled on

[night ember]

Are youediting the view point

[lapis aurora]

yes

doesnt appear

i tried reloading unity as well

nvr mind i got

had to click on the model itself too

[gaunt knoll]

@vapid cosmos

i think i did it

move this file out of it

[spark walrus]

I can't see the issue i am legly blind there 15 stop signs and i have to fix them before i can upload them

I'd have to call

[vapid cosmos]

Wuh

[vapid cosmos]

Like move it to my desktop?

[spark walrus]

I can't read the errors. . .

[timber wharf]

@spark walrus unless youre missing auto fix button from panel being too narrow, you do need to fix em and address by one

and post some images while at it

[spark walrus]

I didn't the stuo fixes already but it still won't upload

[timber wharf]

some form of english pls

[gaunt knoll]

Yea

You can. Do both settings.json and the repos

If it doesn't work then idkkk

[vapid cosmos]

Then I'm assuming reopen it, then put the stuff back in?

Bru-

It worked!

[spark walrus]

I'm sorry I can't see I'm a little frustrated and I've had a pretty bad day I've done that already but it still will not upload.

[vapid cosmos]

Now, would I only add back in the setting file or both?

[gaunt knoll]

Try the settings file

[coarse bridge]

Hi all, is for anyone else the readyplayerme avatar creation with a photo not possible anymore?

[vapid cosmos]

Setting file worked!

[vapid cosmos]

Would I keep the repo file out or put it back?

[gaunt knoll]

Hang on let's try and reload it

If you open CC manage packages

Then there 3 dots

At the top

[vapid cosmos]

Ye

[gaunt knoll]

Press that button

[lapis aurora]

trying to undo some of the stuff i tried, any idea what might be causing the neck to fold in on itself here

it's only doing it in the rigging (and vrc)

[vapid cosmos]

Reinstall all packages

?

[gaunt knoll]

Yes

[night ember]

just reset the rig

[lapis aurora]

reset it? how?

[night ember]

its a setting at the bottom where you enforce tpose

[vapid cosmos]

Done

[lapis aurora]

clicking that doesnt seem to do anything

ohwait

reset works tho

[gaunt knoll]

Is has the Repos has that got stuff in it now?

[vapid cosmos]

Yeah

[gaunt knoll]

Now delete the old one and you back up

[vapid cosmos]

Tysm for the help!

[gaunt knoll]

Amazing

Sorry it took me a while but now at least someone who has this issue next time will be quick and easy

[vapid cosmos]

Absolutely! Tysm for the help!!

I was genuinely tweaking 😭

[lapis aurora]

does anyone know how to handle rotation states for eyes on a prey eyed model

where the eyes are on the side of the head? mine keep going out of bounds and leaving him with herobrine stare despite it appearing fine in the unity editor

[trim prism]

thanks! yea ill check that out!!

yea i get that, i only notice it when i sit down, then it starts to jitter, not the end of the world but illmess around and see

[lapis aurora]

Also, why is it that when if my default eye position is "looking straight", putting 0 for all positional values in the rotations is not the same as the resting state?

[kindred hazel]

looking for someone who can help me with a project in blender that require setting up the bones and the basic facial expressions with some blend shapes. I need assistance setting up the the blender model to show in vrchat/unity with proper rigging and physics and I wants to edit the expression in blender to be more vtuber like.

[covert fox]

@arctic ginkgo i installed everything i need i start from the 3d model right?

[timber wharf]

@kindred hazel you dont want to mention money in this server and ignore scammers in your dms now. there is vrc traders server in #1204490664637890580 that has some checks and moderation

[kindred hazel]

oh sorry abt that

[timber wharf]

just be aware if someone dms you promising anything👍

[kindred hazel]

got ittt tysmmm btw 🤎

[mellow vigil]

im confused about these phys bone sagain, I finalyl got them to be grabbable, and got everything set up for the pc version of the avatar, then I switched it to quest to make it quest comaptible, and everything works fine except the fact the physbones dont seem to be on the quest version, even though I have them present in unity?

here is one of them

[spare lantern]

hey for anyone who uses pumkins avi tools, does it still work for yall? cause it kinda just doesnt tranfer PhysBones for me and just gives this error

[timber wharf]

@mellow vigil were the limits not exceeded? show avatar stats

[mellow vigil]

Let me see

It never told me🤔

[timber wharf]

well it would tell you in upload stats

it just would go through still, just removing every component when exceeded their amount

like, some wont allow you to upload at all, some would change your rank and thats it, and some would in the end just be stripped off despite being uploaded

[somber sequoia]

sounds like the bones have the wrong orientation or roll - you'd have to check in blender that they are perfectly vertical, with 0 roll.

[lapis aurora]

i dont think it's this

i think something else is going on...

[somber sequoia]

you could check.

I mean, what else would it be?

[lapis aurora]

i just did

[somber sequoia]

ok good.

[lapis aurora]

one eye was very slightly off but that didnt fix it

there was a moment earlier when i was fiddling with the head stuff where it WAS the way it's supposed to be

[lethal flower]

Is there any way to change the font of the toggle menus?

I've been messing with color, I just want to see if there's any cooler fonts to use also.

[olive pelican]

Not to my knowledge. The font is baked into VRC.

You could leave them unlabeled and use the icon image to label them with text, technically.

[lapis aurora]

Does anyone know where i can turn automatic footsteps off?

I'm having this problem but i'm unsure of how to properly slve it:

https://www.reddit.com/r/VRchat/comments/12lm73c/avatar_help_whenever_i_stop_walkingmoving_my_legs/

[lethal flower]

shoot. Thought I remembers seeing some eccentric E-boy avi's having that before. Perhaps I'm mis-remembering.

[lapis aurora]

since idk where that auto steps is or what it does precisely

[olive pelican]

probabaly using unicode characters.

Same way as people have funni edgy names in discord.

[spare dome]

Get some help

[viral folio]

I was able to upload a avatar but the colors won’t work? It’s the gooby gator. I can’t recolor the clothes nor the eyeshadow, or change the eye shapes.

And some clothes don’t work as well

[somber sequoia]

how are these colors supposed to work?

[ancient crane]

anyone got any idea why this happens?

doesn't matter what project i use it just keeps doing this

[somber sequoia]

Describe "this"

[ancient crane]

so bascially, the prepare your content is always blanked like it is there even with new projects or like a simple cube and it wont let me upload it will just tweak the ever living shit out and start flashing either with the accept thingy or like it will just ego me and not work

like i could remove the avatar id from the avi and even still giving it a new name icon and everything it still just does the same thing

[viral folio]

Are you asking me or your own question?

[somber sequoia]

ok well there's fury here and it says to look in the console for errors, but otherwise I'm not sure what the issue is

[somber sequoia]

You - you say "the colors won't work" but don't explain what "the colors" means or how it's supposed to work. And you said "I can't recolor" - what method are you doing here?

[ancient crane]

ive removed the vrc fury components before to see how it'd react but its just the same reaction everytime

[viral folio]

Okay so I uploaded the avatar to vrchat and logged in. The clothes and skin have different color options. They’re set color options tho, no color wheel. But whenever I select a new color, it’s just the default color

And whenever I select a new eye shape, nothing changes. Same with eyeshadow color

[somber sequoia]

ok so you'll have to do some debugging, figure out what animation layer does the color changing and see what it's not doing

[viral folio]

Yeah I have no clue how to do that ngl, I just got unity today

I ain’t even mess with anything it just came doing that

[somber sequoia]

maybe contact the creator then, they might offer support

[viral folio]

That means it’s a problem the creator made right?

[viral folio]

Alr I will

[hard turtle]

ok so i never use vrc fury

this object turns on

but never turns off

why

(i recently turned some of my assets into vrcfury assets so they can be dragged onto the avatar and whasam they work)

but vrcfury tries to apply a fix write defaults

which breaks my assets

[olive pelican]

VRCfury has a discord server, ask them, as they developed the prefab/tech

[somber sequoia]

Yeah if you don't use Write Defaults = on everywhere then Fury is likely to be a problem

[near charm]

Help I'm not sure how to apply textures to this model I have the texture sheet I don't know how to apply it :(

[somber sequoia]

in Blender?

[near charm]

Yea

[dense urchin]

I'm working on another outfit for my avatar, but the outfit isn't the same offset from the ground (i.e. thinner shoe soles, no heels), so I'm having concerns about integrating it as part of an outfit change function I'm planning for my avatar.

How is this normally done for, let's say, going from flat shoes to heeled shoes? Or from one pair of shoes to a pair of boots with thicker soles?

[somber sequoia]

go in the Shading tab and find the material you want to change, in the node editor is probably an Image Texture node - pick the right file

[near charm]

Thank youuu

[spark walrus]

Hello I'm currently trying to upload that Avatar and I was wondering if anybody would be able to help me I'm visually impaired so it's very difficult for me to see if anybody's willing to call for I can fix it just at me or DM me please

[ebon dirge]

Does anyone know how i can fix this shader error?

[covert fox]

why does ts look so cursed ?

[somber sequoia]

poiyomi has a discord, but try unlocking the shader first

[atomic oar]

I have a problem. I want to set up avatar so when i activate toggle A (part of asset with internal controlls and build in animator) it activated Toggle B (the toggle on main FX layer of avatar).

I struggle to find a way to reference parameter from that controller

[somber sequoia]

do you actually have a prop with its own animation controller and are not merging those via something like vrc fury?

[near charm]

How do I change textures in unity because it's not working :((

It already has a texture but I whant to replace that texture with a different texture

[somber sequoia]

what isn't working?
You swap the textures in whatever material you're using...

[near charm]

How do I do that 😭

[atomic oar]

it merges on upload with VRCfury. i am simply trying to figure out how to code it so both animators parameters reference each other without me having to fully merge them before upload (i would have to fix a ton of animation from the asset if i did that)

[ebon dirge]

Thank you for your advice!

[somber sequoia]

Full Controller has an option somewhere to mark which parameters are "global"

[somber sequoia]

find the appropriate texture slot in your material and drag a new texture in

[atomic oar]

1. click on asset you want to swap texture in.
2. in inspector find Skinned mesh render and material (material always at very bottom)
3. open and optionally unlock the material
4. 1st slot should be the texture (this can differ depending on shader)
5. As Kazin said just drag new texture into that slot

[somber sequoia]

that, do that

[ember viper]

Is there some kind of trick for spring joints? No matter what I do, how many tutorials I follow, my shit does NOT move,

and it's as soon as i put in the rigid body into the connected rigid body area

shit just freezes

[atomic oar]

i was blind... indeed it is there... thanks maybe that will do it.

[somber sequoia]

I rarely use fury but I think that's what you want

[atomic oar]

i was using fury for most part till i remembered how to fix animations ( i was merging outfits from multiple variants of foxipaws avis)

[ember viper]

anyone see anything wrong w these settings?

[somber sequoia]

I only use it for things I give/sell to others

[ember viper]

rigid body is on the index finger, and springjoint is on my model i want to move around

[atomic oar]

uhh.. still cant reference it in main FX do i need to make a "copy" of in in main FX params?

[ebon dirge]

Why are the physbones in my tail not moving except for one? And how can i fix this?

[ebon dirge]

All bones are weight painted and rigged correctly

[ember viper]

there is a "ignore other physbones" option

in there somewhere

on the physbone itself

disable that for all of em

it'll make the ones down the line not move

[somber sequoia]

oh yeah - always add it to the animator, even if Fury does its magic later

fury will just merge the same-named ones if they are marked global

[ember viper]

KAZIIIN do you know how springjoints work, and can you help me ;-;

i've spent 5 hours on this and i gave up trying by myself and watching tutorials

😭

[somber sequoia]

I don't have that unity project open - finishing something right now, but I can probably look at it after

[ember viper]

word

ty just @ me when you have time :D

[ebon dirge]

I just did that and it’s still the same

[ember viper]

oh well then i got no idea!

if it's not on for ALL of the physbones, including the first one

idk whats wrong D;

that fixed it for me when working w em though

[atomic oar]

testing with gesture manager

[near charm]

I found the material but I'm so confused on what to do next

[somber sequoia]

textures go in texture slots, such as "base color" or "albedo" or "main"

feel free to show us an image

[atomic oar]

reference screenshots

[frigid void]

anyone know what to do about this? This comes up everytime I open my project (the scene is completely empty and it says unknown error when I try to open), this is a project ive been editing/working on for a week and everything is gone

[somber sequoia]

explain what you mean by broken - won't open when you do what exactly?

[ebon dirge]

I FIGURED IT OUT! I had to make “multi child type” to first

Thank you for the help!

[ember viper]

awesome :D

good job

[tired notch]

its broken all of the blendshapes around the mouth, and distorted the texture into that creppy smile (which should be a stardard closed mouth.

[near charm]

I found it but now what

[somber sequoia]

"Albedo" is the base color texture. What do you have as far as textures?

[atomic oar]

@somber sequoia IT WORKED YIPEEEE.
Thank you. May the divine reward you with good fortune and power to never fall to Spagethi-Code Moster

[somber sequoia]

no idea what might have happened then, can you explain what you did?

[tired notch]

i was clicking auto fix on some of the review alerts just before i could export the model

[near charm]

The untitled one is the one I want and the milky way one is the one which is being used

[somber sequoia]

oh I've been doing this too long to spaghetti code anymore....... but the crap I was dealing with at work today.... ugh

[somber sequoia]

try putting one in that albedo slot

[near charm]

How do that?

I'm new to this :(

[somber sequoia]

... drag

maybe watch some basic tutorial videos

[tired notch]

its from autofixing the blendshapes normals from "calculate"

[somber sequoia]

Oh! So find your model file, the actual .fbx, go in the inspector - that option is in the first tab there.

it's "legacy blendshape normals"

I don't know what your model requires though.

you almost never want "calculate" though

[spark walrus]

Is there anybody who's able to help me I'm visually impaired and cannot see well and I'm in the process of trying to upload my avatar and there's 15 errors and I physically cannot read them is there any way I could have some help a call please

[somber sequoia]

FYI, it's rare that people do calls around here, but I hope you do find someone

[spark walrus]

That's the goal
.. (

I've been searching all day and online and I still can't figure it out

[somber sequoia]

if you could post images of the errors, we might be able to help

[tired notch]

looks like it lost the Blend Shape Normals setting. im comparing it to a different blender .fbx of the same model. how do i get that setting back on the avatar?

i was able to revert the mouth but the blendshapes are still messed up

[somber sequoia]

that is the setting on the avatar though

I mean, unless you unpacked the avatar prefab............

(don't do this)

[tired notch]

no, its not a prefab its a model i made from a base and imported from blender

[somber sequoia]

not what I meant

when you drag the model into the scene it comes in as a prefab, and is blue-colored.
You can unpack this, which turns it white, but 99.999999% of the time should not.

[tired notch]

yeah, i havent unpacked it.

[somber sequoia]

k, then changing that value on the model file import settings would apply to an avatar using that model

[mellow vigil]

It was that, I had 9 instead of the 8 limit by mistake, though I reuploaded it and quest users still cant see them despite me only having 3

[somber sequoia]

my finger one, the mass is 0.1, otherwise same settings.
the poi ball rigid body I have drag at 1 and use gravity checked, otherwise same
not sure what you have here by my spring joint is this

[ember viper]

wait you have gravity CHECKED? typically people have that turned off

[somber sequoia]

it's a poi ball, I want it to hang

[ember viper]

right

fair

[somber sequoia]

I don't know what thing you have

[ember viper]

what's the rigid body on your finger lookin like?

[somber sequoia]

I said

[ember viper]

oh word

yeah man idek whats happening

[somber sequoia]

it's on the distal finger bone

[ember viper]

ts is upsetting me 😭

the "distal"?

[somber sequoia]

proximal = close, near your hand. distal = far, the tip

(unity's rig setup uses these terms)

[ember viper]

i see

[ebon dirge]

Ok so I’ve run into a new issue…it wasn’t me doing anything with the tail i made sure…it’s definitely funny though

[ember viper]

this is so weird cause

if yours is truly the same as mine

why the hell isn't it working when i play test?

[somber sequoia]

play mode in unity is funky, don't trust stuff like this to work well - have you tried it in-game?

oh oh

also - is this disabled by default?

[ember viper]

so the way i did it, is I used a empty game object, slapped the spring joint on that, and im disabling / enabling the actual visible model

instead of the springjoint

[somber sequoia]

Good

I actually do disable the spring joint a few frames into the start of that animation layer, but have the mesh renderer off by default. Unity gets funny if you disable stuff like this by default. (See also VRC Stations)

mine is all on a single object

[ember viper]

@somber sequoia okay so, i assume when you hit play

and move your character

it does move with your avatar, right?

mine just doesn't

doesn't move at all

[somber sequoia]

I'd have to enable it first

hmm let me see if it works in play mode, I haven't actually tested that in like, a year

[tawny nest]

anyone know where to look for dragon scales assets to add to my avi?

[somber sequoia]

Hmm dealing with unity being stupid on this project, stand by

oh right, the latest gesture manager is broken

still waiting for this to deal with updates. (Jeopardy music plays)

[somber sequoia]

yep, works perfectly, even if the material is turned off

[ember viper]

bruh

wtf is wrong with my shiiit

D:

[somber sequoia]

I'm annoyed that took so damn long to get going

[ember viper]

i'll figure it out ;-;

[somber sequoia]

haven't opened this project on my laptop in a while

[ember viper]

my spring joint just doesn't work

[somber sequoia]

very weird

[atomic oar]

an optimisation question if you will.
Is it more optimised to have a bool for each clothing piece (even if they would be exclusive to each other) or to have int values for the ones that are exclusive
aka:

• Pants (number x), tops (number x)
  or
• Sweat pants, jeans, shorts etc

[somber sequoia]

Please don't ping me for new questions, anyone can answer you.

[atomic oar]

sorry i always forget to unsellect the ping on reply

[somber sequoia]

But you can do the math here yourself - a bool is one bit, int is 8 bits.

that optimization is kinda irrelevant

[atomic oar]

so if i have more than 8 exclusive states it is better to use int

[somber sequoia]

you should be considering draw calls (i.e. material slots) instead of parameters.

so long as you're under parameter 256 bits, it doesn't matter

[atomic oar]

i have massive amoung of assets and toggles and stuff so any parameter opti is welcome. expecially if i want to use facetracking aset

[somber sequoia]

if all of your massive amount of assets each have a material slot, you have more important concerns than parameter size.

[atomic oar]

well it is mostly the toggles and animator states than materials

[somber sequoia]

But yes, 8 bools = 1 int or float.

[atomic oar]

perfect. that actually makes it so ingle int cover all of the boos used for at least outfit part (pants)

thics would technically allow to set up so many outfit combos...

[somber sequoia]

I prefer to do one outfit per avatar.

easy to keep to Medium that way

[atomic oar]

i play on PC (and PC vr) so i dont bother with quest opti

[somber sequoia]

I don't do Quest either.

[atomic oar]

at least not for most avatars

[lofty bane]

How do I fix these massive bone radiuses? I updated a FBX file which is the same one on the scene but the colliders for physobes require me to place ridiculiously small values to make it fit the model (like 0.0005)

[atomic oar]

go to your FXB root. and scale it by 100

or go back to blender and scale it there in x/y/z by 100 before putting it back in

should fix it

[somber sequoia]

no, neither of those

export from Blender with "Apply scalings" set to "FBX All"

then deal with that in Unity, probably by rescaling everything that got scaled weirdly

[lofty bane]

Oh Ok, I had it in All Local

[somber sequoia]

that's why

[restive scaffold]

How would I go about keeping my bullets and shoot sound from turning off when changing gestures but still can shoot it off afterwards?

[restive scaffold]

Because this is what they are currently doing.

[tiny dock]

no matter what i do i cannot add a property to my animation clip

i'm trying to make an animation clip that swaps materials a bunch of times

[somber sequoia]

is the animation on an animation controller that's in your avatar's animator component (which is on the root, next to the avatar descriptor)?

[tiny dock]

yes

[heavy ingot]

the shoes are attached to the outfit and i cannot move them or scale them. how can i fix the shoes to fit the avatar properly?

[tiny dock]

weight painting

[heavy ingot]

Awe fuck

Idk how to do that lol

Thanks i'll look up some videos

[lavish cosmos]

Often times, avatar comes with blendshapes for shoes like them. Look for high heels blendshapes from your avatar

[heavy ingot]

Ohhhhhh

Ur riiigghht

Dddduuuhh

But I have more than one outfit. Dang.

[somber sequoia]

so? animate that for the specific outfit that requires it

[heavy ingot]

I didnt know I could do that

[lavish cosmos]

In that case you wanna make a toggle animation that toggles the outfit A AND the high heels blendshapes. And another toggle that toggles the outfit B and the high heels OFF blendshape

[heavy ingot]

Oh shisse! Thanks!

[tiny dock]

i did nothing and it lets me now

i have literally no clue

this is why i hate unity

[lilac musk]

What would cause an animation property to simply revert any changes I make? I'm in the animation and recording, make some change to a rotation of a bone through any method (Gizmos, inspector, keyframe values directly). The values are shown in the keyframes. Then if I move the playhead at all, those values revert back to what they were initially, not allowing me to animate them.

It's like some script is overriding my changes or something, but what would do that? I don't have anything odd in the project, just fury and avatar manager 3.0

[glass solar]

I could def use help

[mellow vigil]

My physbones aren't working for the quest side of my avatar, am I missing something? I have 7, so the limit isn't over done.

[lilac musk]

Is the affected transform over the limit?

[mellow vigil]

I have 63, whats the limit?

[lilac musk]

64, so you should be fine there. Interesting

[mellow vigil]

yeah its not telling me its to high

[gaunt knoll]

Is this no limit for pc

[mellow vigil]

the transformers were empty, would that be it?

[lilac musk]

What do you mean by empty?

[mellow vigil]

Sorry I meant the root transform

[tiny dock]

posted this question in the vrcfury discord but i'll ask here too:

how do you add a full animation while talking, it only seems to play the first frame in the advanced visemes component
for reference, i'm creating the bfdi character puffball, who plays this looping rainbow color gif when she speaks

https://tenor.com/view/puffball-bfdi-gif-14805499668808573420

[lilac musk]

That can be left empty if the component is on the bone root itself

[mellow vigil]

none of my bones are on the roots themsevles, but that wasnt an issue on the pc build?

[spice dome]

The rig is fine. It just started doing this after I uploaded it.

[lilac musk]

If the component isn't on the root of the bones you want it to affect, and the transforms Root Transform isn't specified, then it wouldn't know what to do. So that might be your issue.

[mellow vigil]

so for the root transform, I need to set it to the root of the bone its on?

[lilac musk]

No. The physbone component needs 1 of 2 things. Either the component is placed on the root of the bone you want it to affect, or give it the root transform in that field to tell it what one to affect. If neither of those are done, it will not do anything.

[gaunt knoll]

hi eevee is it stuck in this pose when you play vrchat aswell?

[mellow vigil]

so for something like ears and hair, what would I put for the transform?

[lilac musk]

If the component isn't on the root, then give it the root. If it IS on the root, leave it blank.

[spice dome]

Yes. It only doesn't if im using the animation tester thing. Manger thing

Like it works in vrc just fine but I cant add outfits with its pose. It seems to be just a unity thing

[mellow vigil]

I'm not sure I'm understanding, I have the physbone on the second bone for the tail. would I give it the "tail root" bone? or the "Tail root.001" It wasn't named very well 😅

[timber wharf]

@mellow vigil physbones are funny that way, if root has only one child then root is also considered to be a physbone. if root has multiple children (2 ears, many hair strands etc), then root itself is ignored

[mellow vigil]

Strange, when I was working on the pc build they all worked fine so I didnt't think about it 😅

[gaunt knoll]

this is normally due to incorrect rigging

but lets see if we can fix that pose

im guessing its the motorbike pose and something like it

@spice dome https://github.com/rurre/PumkinsAvatarTools

please use this tool to fix the avi

[tiny dock]

can someone please help

[mellow vigil]

Did I mention they all work fine in the Unity play test as well?

Should I do a rebuild for PC, then do another for andriod after to see if that fixes it? or would that be a waste of time

[wheat pecan]

Can anyone assist me in explaining how the rigging process works? I’ve followed 3 different tutorials but none explain in a good enough way when it comes to connecting everything, weight painting and rigging bones. im not just some dude asking you to hold my hand I just need a bit of explanation maybe.

I don’t wanna link videos cause i’m not sure if i’ll get in trouble but if anyone has maybe 5-10 minutes to hop on a call and explain I would be ETERNALLY GRATEFUL

in blender btw

[lilac musk]

What part are you not understanding? I can't get in a call, but I'm willing to help where I can here.

[timber wharf]

@mellow vigil should work separately, main issue you may see is desync for grabbing between the platforms

[quick sky]

can someone help me with physbones? im trying to add it to a bear ears and tail i bought and its not working. on the page i bought it from it shows it has it but i feel like im 100% doin something wrong. thanks

[wheat pecan]

I don’t know where i’m going wrong.

1.) the video i watched said to separate the head from the rest of the body (can’t really do that with this model) so i need to figure out how to make the head move by itself while still being a part of the same mesh

2.) how to paint through the mesh (Xray) I can’t find where to enable it for weigh painting.

3.) which bone structure can I use? does it HAVE TO BE name perfectly/ a certain way or can a import a standard humanoid rig?

the correct rig i’m using was following was by “Rainhet Chaneru 3D - Blender part 5: Rigging Basics” (She skipped over key steps

[timber wharf]

@quick sky if they short and have only one bone, make sure you have the endpoint set

@wheat pecan id suggest for normal humanoids always start with mixamo autorig then fix/add on top of it

[mellow vigil]

That I could expect, but Im still at a lost. I just did another test making sure the Physbones and physbone transforms are under the limit. They work fine when I test it with the player for unity. but when I check on quest none of them activate

[spice dome]

how?

[wheat pecan]

Jesus..

smh

[wheat pecan]

thank you

i forgot about that website

i used to use it like 4 years ago forgot the name of it

[mellow vigil]

are any of these bugged or something?

[wheat pecan]

ima mess with that a little bit

[timber wharf]

@mellow vigil should be acceptable, just poor rating🤷‍♂️

[gaunt knoll]

@spice dome

[glass solar]

i still need help

[mellow vigil]

this is so strange

[spice dome]

omg thank you

tho it doesnt look like that for me. i figured it out

[gaunt knoll]

yeah its old i could be asked to load up unity xD

[spice dome]

thank you nether the less

[mellow vigil]

Ok, I was avoiding doing another rebuild for PC cuz it took ages to get the shaders I wanted to look right, but I found out it auto saved all my adjustments so Im just gonna do a rebuild and see if its just an SDK bug

[wheat pecan]

i rigged it up worked PERFECTLY thank you

question though

so i have to rename each bone? to a specific name?

or can i leave them like this?

and do i need to do weigh paint or is that already done

nvm weigh paint is done

[timber wharf]

you can leave them as is

unity cares about their hierarchy, not names

[wheat pecan]

bet thank you so much fr

the Goat

[tiny dock]

my textures are like 5 megabytes total at max

i don't know where this is coming from and i've never had this issue before

nvm i accidentally made some textures 5k x 5k instead of my normal 500 x 500

[arctic ginkgo]

this is not true by itself. This is a specific setting, and that's the default choice (multi-child behavior). The root is ignored for the physics, yes, but it still counts a physbone transform which can affect other things like performance ranking, compatibility with constraints, etc. You can also change this behavior to either "first" or "average" to make it move.

[mellow vigil]

could that cause the issue Im having? because I just rebuilt the whole avatar and I still have the issue 😅

[arctic ginkgo]

it looks like you're not over the limit though, so it should be working. The SDK control panel should be accurately reading the amount of physbone components and transforms that are on your avatar, but try getting a quest user to read the stats in-game and see if they are different

[mellow vigil]

I checked my physbone transform is reading as 66 for some reason

That would probably do it 🤦‍♂️

[cerulean flax]

After modelling should you rig first or texture first?

[cedar steppe]

I'd rig it- wait no i'd texture first then rig, then you could fix any mistakes in the texture caused by rigging

[cerulean flax]

I've been looking around and seen people say it both ways xP
Like, some people say they texture first so they can see and fix geometry issues before committing to a rig
And other people say they rig first so they can see how it poses before committing to a UV unwrap lol

[arctic ginkgo]

I rig first because it makes it easier to make clothes

I make a nude mesh then rig it. Afterwards I can make clothes by duplicating and editing the base mesh and it retains the weight painting so it's much easier to just make minor adjustments and reduce clipping

[willow carbon]

hello, how can I make sure that my custom afk animation show the objects that spawn? i use gogo loco btw

[arctic ginkgo]

nothing to do with gogo loco really, just set up a toggle in the FX layer using the "AFK" bool parameter

[willow carbon]

alright

[wheat pecan]

do you have any videos you could send my way how to put gogo Loco on a avatar?

or a forum or a link or sum that worked for you

[willow carbon]

i just use vrcfury and drop the prefab on the avatar

[wheat pecan]

ok i’ll look into those next

just published my first avi lfg

hella hours tryna figure it out myself shoulda just asked yall for help sooner

[willow carbon]

i'll show you 1 sec

lemme record

[wheat pecan]

the goat

thank you

[willow carbon]

dl gogoloco, click on the unitypackage and import it all

[wheat pecan]

phhh ahittttt

bet bet

is it the same process for other things like flying invisibility?

and emotes and shit

[willow carbon]

go here in your project's assets

it depends on whether you want to use all or beyond, beyond is the same thing just that it has flying

[wheat pecan]

okay ima look more into all this i appreciate the help big time 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[willow carbon]

drag the vrcfury prefab onto your avatar

be sure vrcfury is installed too

[wheat pecan]

oh word that’s dumb easy

i can do that fs

[willow carbon]

gl

[wheat pecan]

ima make it quest compatible and add Gogo loco and then we done babbbyyyy

[willow carbon]

godspeed

[nova flicker]

anyone know why my viewpoint is off centered despite the X axis set to 0?

ik i could just shift it over, but i wanna know why its shifted just slightly. i assume maybe cuz of the head bone in its armature or something ?

[arctic ginkgo]

could be that the rig is off-centered in rig configuration

[nova flicker]

How would I go about in fixing that?
I assume it’s just in the rig config on the FBX model

[dusty elm]

Does anyone know what does this mean? I uploaded the avatar fine before, but all of a sudden this pops up

[gaunt knoll]

send them all not just one

[dusty elm]

but what do you mean by sending them all?

[arctic ginkgo]

yes, go in there and see if it's off-centered. It may be the hips or armature transform. You can set the coordinates in the transform component, so just set X to 0 if it isn't already

I've had a similar issue where my model was for some reason in the ground in the rig configuration which made my viewpoint go down into my chest

[dusty elm]

nvm, I have no clue what happened but it works now lol, didn't change anything so confused

[marble pasture]

Anyone know how to open a compressed archived folder?

[ornate stump]

You rather mean zip file? Windows already have built-in zip file explorer. If you meant something else, you have to take screenshot of what you're talking about.

[tiny dock]

since a few days ago i haven't been able to upload anything on both platforms at once

every time i try it gives an error and the button locks up

it works fine when uploading individually

[ornate stump]

You have to provide the error you got.

[tiny dock]

i'll have to do it again give me a few

i just wanted to get an avatar out so i'm doing it individually rn

[rapid elbow]

Hi could someone maybe give me a quick rundown on what to do when transferring an addon object with its own animations and menus to the orignal avatar? i can either get it to track and not have animations or track but when grabbed it spawns away, tried a lot of stuff and tutorials and nothing has worked so far, and when i go to add the menu from the new object to the avatar using menu install it says my og avatar doesn't have any menus idk its hard to explain

[uncut pulsar]

why my eye textures like that?

anyone can help me pls?

[ornate stump]

How is it suppose to be?

[slow panther]

any idea why the particle smoke isnt actually showing

[ornate stump]

Did you set emission rate?

[slow panther]

im test building to see if it works in game one second

p sure i did

[ornate stump]

Screenshot to confirm then.

[slow panther]

once it uploads will do, tysm

[slow panther]

lMAo idk how they went back to 0 that was it xD

thank you

[lean edge]

so ive hit something unusual, for context i used to be able to activate visual effects ive set up for an emote via gogoloco, in this case its summoning a large object and throwing it, the object itself ive set up the timing for it in my FX layer and the animation for the body posing to throw the object in the action layer as you should but for some reason as of updating my SDK to 3.9 (that was the minimum i needed to upload and i was on 3.76 last time i checked), its stopped working when it did before and i cant figure out why, ive tried re-adjusting the paramaters, changed where the animation is located (which emote slot it was in) and so on and so forth but nothings worked, any ideas on what i can do?

[uncut pulsar]

like that

[ornate stump]

Did you actually fix it?

[uncut pulsar]

nope

[ornate stump]

You rather have a different issue. Some mobile shaders are supposed to be used in world creation.

[uncut pulsar]

if i change,the eyes gonna again broke

[lean edge]

id recommend creating a copy of the material then and test that

[uncut pulsar]

\

like that

[uncut pulsar]

still not works

[lean edge]

i mean so you have a backup

anyway by the looks of it the matirial is doing something odd with the UV mapping

[junior void]

tiling mabe

[ornate stump]

How is the original material setup?

[lean edge]

my thoughts exactly, things like tiling settings are a good place to start

[ornate stump]

I'm asking for setup detail of original material.

[uncut pulsar]

i can't show cuz i deleted

[ornate stump]

Import it back then.

[uncut pulsar]

how

[ornate stump]

The same way as you import the model initially.

[ornate stump]

Is this original material that came with the model package?

[uncut pulsar]

the original has a poyomi shaders,and anyway i can't use it

i need to port to mobile

[ornate stump]

You can't use it but you can use it as a reference for how to setup the texture.

[uncut pulsar]

wym

[ornate stump]

Because if you can't make new material to make it work, you have to look back into how the original material setup and replicate it.

[uncut pulsar]

but how do i replicate it if it's not supported shaders and i can't use it for my avatar?

[uncut pulsar]

.

[ornate stump]

Because material properties still share same similar properties even it's a different shader.

[ornate stump]

You have 2 materials, both using different shader, you see how the first material set the texture, then do the same with the second material.

[ornate stump]

For the record, what the mobile shader you changed to?

[uncut pulsar]

toon standart

[ornate stump]

So you see how the poiyomi material set texture tiling and offset, and do the same with the toon standard.

[ornate stump]

Does it has 2 materials for the eyes?

[uncut pulsar]

yes

one is regular texture

two is refflection

[ornate stump]

The reflection relies on transparency which isn't supported on quest avatar. So you have to disable the second material, or find out if the model has blendshape to hide the reflection layer.

[uncut pulsar]

wym

how to disable

[ornate stump]

If the eyes only have 2 material slots, then you could change to 1 slot.

[uncut pulsar]

wait

ik the issue

the dev added a transparent object from eye

[ornate stump]

If the reflection layer is on a different object then just disable that object.

[timber wharf]

or better right click on mesh renderer header and remove

then it wont go into stats

[uncut pulsar]

ty for help tho

[uncut pulsar]

u too

[uncut pulsar]

guys,how to i can animate my avatar? im just speaking and not see any animations

[ornate stump]

Lipsync is not directly relate to animation. You have to set lipsync option in avatar descriptor.

[uncut pulsar]

ok

[main imp]

Why is it when you’re on Quest people on PC see completely different toggles, outfits, etc which you don’t even have on? Is there a way to sync them?

[jovial lagoon]

Ohhh
I can actually help you with that if you don't mind

[main imp]

Would love that tyty

[jovial lagoon]

I can help you with it

If you don't mind i can DM you

[somber sequoia]

random newbie offers to DM you to help - seems scammy to me.

Unless that is literally the only error, instead paste the first 2-3 with much more of the console so we can see the error count indicator also.

as it is, it's not a useful message.

[jovial lagoon]

Ah ah
Am not here to scam buddy

[somber sequoia]

if you say so

first one is the issue - "missing script"

it means some component on your avatar requires an add-on package you didn't install

no idea - see the creator's documentation for clues

that'd work

[main imp]

I’d rather keep the discussion here. I don’t see the need to dm.

[jovial lagoon]

Okay
Can I see your reference image to examine

[main imp]

Reference image?

[somber sequoia]

Then you need the requirement package, whatever it is won't work without that

[cinder mortar]

vrcfury and poiynomi just kind of disappeared off my packages? I tried to start a new project and they're not options. the first image ('Kaiya') is an older project and the second image ('Prism quest') is the one I just tried to start

[somber sequoia]

check your repositories list? I don't use VCC so not sure where that is

[cinder mortar]

did they just,, uncheck themselves? I'm very confused

[somber sequoia]

Again, I don't actually use VCC

Seems suspicious though.

[cinder mortar]

well I checked both of those and they're showing up again? so 🤷

[somber sequoia]

success!

[trim prism]

anyone know why exporting my avatar from blender to unity is broken? basically, i edited the body mesh for optimisation, but when i put that mesh onto my body in blender it doesnt show? it just disapears

i edited the mesh for a different shorts asset on the avatar and that worked perfectly fine, so idk why the body will disappear, screenshot of my export settings btw

[somber sequoia]

Looks good but if the same settings were not previously used, it could mess up the rig. Set the rig to generic, apply, then redo the humanoid setup.
OR..... if you unpacked your avatar prefab in the Unity scene, this won't work, you'll need to drag a new copy of the model in and copy stuff over.

but I'm not sure what "put the mesh onto my body in blender" means?

[jovial lagoon]

Heyyyy

[trim prism]

oh oh i meant to say in "unity"

ok so i was recording an example to show you what i meant, and it litterally worked, what the scallop

[jovial lagoon]

What do you mean?? lol

[somber sequoia]

haha awesome

[trim prism]

i have no clue what went wrong..... ig now it should be fine???

[jovial lagoon]

Yes
The image of what you want
So I can proceed

[somber sequoia]

proceed with what?

[jovial lagoon]

Proceed with his project

[somber sequoia]

Definitely a scammer.

[jovial lagoon]

Why do you said that

You are so harsh

Am not here to scam anyone

[somber sequoia]

nobody's asking you to do any work though

[jovial lagoon]

Are you the one I'm talking to????

[somber sequoia]

why are you asking me who you are talking to?

[main imp]

I think you made him glitch out hehe

Can you help me, Frank?

[jovial lagoon]

Haha yeah, I think he didn’t know how to handle it 😏

[night ember]

my god you are dense
you dont even know who is talking about who

[main imp]

Frank, could you help me then?

[trim prism]

what the scallop

[prisma frigate]

Dude this frank guy has had his account since October 21 of last year-

[somber sequoia]

and joined here 2 days ago, so?

[prisma frigate]

Idk. Just a little sus.. Prolly just me

shrug

[somber sequoia]

oh it's quite sus

[wooden flower]

hey

guys

[gaunt knoll]

hi

[nova flicker]

hmm.. so update on that. I checked my rig but its all set to 0.

[white plaza]

Hey, I have a problem. I bought an avatar on Booth, but when I upload it to Unity, it keeps loading forever and never finishes. Did I do something wrong? I’m using the correct version for everything.

[main imp]

Ahh, good laughh

[cinder mortar]

hey guys, I'm stuck inspecting a specific material? no matter what I click on it doesn't change. I don't know if I'm allowed to send vids so hopefully that image shows what I mean

[somber sequoia]

lock icon in the upper right of your inspector

[cinder mortar]

oh my god I'm stupid 😅 thank you

[somber sequoia]

happens to all of us

[hard turtle]

in the skinned mesh renderer

lets say

i want to tell it be a body mesh again

or i change it to refresh it

how do i tell that Body or mesh renderer

to use

this armature

as its weights

[somber sequoia]

I'd do that in Blender

if you've already pulled apart the avatar prefab in Unity this isn't going to go well

[hard turtle]

ok

so

not what i meant

my friend

changed something in his hierarchy in blender, THEN reimported the new fbx and his body is now missing

[somber sequoia]

I'm not sure what you meant then.

[hard turtle]

im trying to get it back

[somber sequoia]

ohh

Is the body mesh object there?

[hard turtle]

i know theres a way to do it with the skin mesh render

[somber sequoia]

If you drag a new copy of the .fbx into the scene, does it work?

[hard turtle]

the new copy is fully functioning

its unity it fked up recognising the new hierarchy

[somber sequoia]

wait, is that prefab unpacked? This isn't going to work. Use the new copy.

[solar warren]

I lowkey might try making an avatar
Is a i5-7400 cpu, no gpu and 32gbs of ddr4 enough? (Not for running vrchat btw, just unity to make an avatar)

[somber sequoia]

sure

[hard turtle]

yeh

its annoying as shit

but i swear to god

i rmember

you can use a skinned mesh renderer from the new one

then just

tell it to use the old hierarchy

[somber sequoia]

Just use the new one, copy stuff over (pumkin's tools can help) and don't unpack next time.

but you can try to drag teh new mesh object into the old Mesh Renderer? I haven't really had luck doing any of these tricks

[hard turtle]

it seems nothings working for him

i have warned him so many times to make backups before ovverriding an old fbx TwT

he never listens

[hard turtle]

he had a back up he didnt tell me about TwT

[analog igloo]

how the hell do u do emissions on the newer unity it used to be so much more simpler to turn it on avatars on older now its confusing

[night ember]

unity never changed how material settings look?
thats always been based on the shader

[analog igloo]

no

theres a difference look

right is newer

left is older

the new one makes no damm sense and ont let me change it at all even if i type diffret numebrs

im not using poyomi either i dont want to use that

[night ember]

thats still based on the shader not unity

[analog igloo]

but im using the same shader?

[night ember]

if the shader updated then thats on the shader

[analog igloo]

on both unitys ....

well shit is there anything i can do

[night ember]

a setting in the shader ig?

[analog igloo]

cause its the same shader

thanks

[night ember]

idk what this shader is

you only said its not poiyomi

[analog igloo]

just the default shader

for vrc

[night ember]

thats not a unity shader

[analog igloo]

vrc mobile

ohh

well still strange how different it looks on both unity versions

[night ember]

are you on like different sdk version

[analog igloo]

same exact shader

yeah

[night ember]

its not the same exact shader then

[analog igloo]

i was showing older as example

really?

dang

hmm

[night ember]

vrchat updates their shaders

[analog igloo]

is there anyway to get shader to look like older cause the new emission shit is awful

it was nice to see ur model glow and tell

[night ember]

just darken the color

[analog igloo]

newer one u cant at all

how

no mattere what i type model looks same

[analog igloo]

doesnt show up for me

[analog igloo]

it only shows this

the strenght doesnt do anything

and there is no emission color with eyedropper sadly

it doesnt show up to me on this newer sdk

which is why im struggling with it

[night ember]

what unity version are you using

[analog igloo]

like its literally no where

2022.3.22f1

[night ember]

the full thing

[analog igloo]

sorry

ik

literally no emission color tab aside that stupid xyzw crap

that doesnt work

[night ember]

and what sdk version

[analog igloo]

uuhhh

how can u tell?

ik its somewhat recent sdk

[night ember]

creator companion

[analog igloo]

oh uh lemme chekc

3.10.1

yeah its the most recent for me

so idk whats wrong with my thing

?

[night ember]

standard lite or what

cause standard lite on 3.10.1 looks like this

[somber sequoia]

weird that the interface is broken, but I bet "that xzyw crap" still works fine, it'd be RGBA values 0-255

[near charm]

It won't let me upload to Android

Help pls

[night ember]

download the android build
file > build settings

[near charm]

Thank uuuu

[limpid dragon]

can someone help me with liltoon fallback shaders? i want to use a matcap, but when i set the fallback in liltoon to matcap, it doesn't use the matcap in-game

here's what it looks like in the inspector

[near charm]

It's not letting me upload because I have the wrong shaders but it won't let me change the shaders?

Actually I think I figured it by myself :333

[near charm]

Nvm I thought I fixed it but apparently I didn't and it keeps coming up with this message how do I fix it

[analog igloo]

i am using that

my versions been stuck like this

:C idk what else to do

since u cant use older versions now since most of my stuff was on there it sucks

the top color one works but emission colors for xyz doesnt work at all

[night ember]

what did you import into the project

[analog igloo]

i think i figured it out

just a few models from models resource

i did a few more and same result

standard lite is broken fro me but i think i found a alternative with other material

oddly enough i can see the thing when i do it on non mobile

but i dont use pc i use quest more

so its a problem for me

[night ember]

like if you created a brand new project with creator companion and without importing anything and made a material would it look like that

also just use toon standard

[analog igloo]

yeah thats what i learned ill try that later

thanks again for helping appericete it

[near charm]

How do I edit this? This is causing all my problems and I can't delete it or even edit it help????? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[somber sequoia]

if you can't edit it, it's the material embedded in your model, you'll need to replace it with a new material

[near charm]

How do I do that?

[somber sequoia]

make a new material, drag it into the slot on the mesh renderer

[near charm]

Mesh renderer?

[somber sequoia]

it's a component on your avatar's mesh objects, such as the body

[still shuttle]

How do I make audios louder? I have a button that says "Lizard" and it is like whisper queit even tho the volume on the audio source is set all the way up 😭

[somber sequoia]

ah yes, the lizard button

[still shuttle]

I have one IRL so I HAD to put one on my personal haha anyways here is the settings I have on the audio source

it also has a spacial aduio source script, I saw a video where it said it should be set to the same settings as the min & Max distance

[near charm]

It still won't fix :((( helpppp

[somber sequoia]

You gotta find all the materials, even the ones that only happen after a material swap animation.

Look into the VRChat parent constraint. It can constrain to world.

guys how to do transparent material for mobile?

Im doing avatar for mobile and pc and i need transparent material

[junior void]

you cant

theres no shader supporting it

[fervent spear]

hi guysss sorry if im bad at explaining this, but i need to make my avatars leg bones straighter because it is affecting the way the legs stand in fbt, but every time i try straightening them by just moving the knee joint backwards a bit, in unity the legs bent in a weird way ?? i applied all transforms before exporting too

1st picture is how the bones were before attempting to straighten them
2nd pic is when i try to straighten the leg bones and export to unity (the legs are kindof bent forward)

[distant kindle]

Hi I have an FBX model I made and uploaded to VRChat and it's invisible, can anyone tell me what may have caused this? I exported this model from blender and this is the VRChat mobile toon lit atlas material

[gaunt knoll]

I use a VRC mobile particle shader like additive or multiply that's what I do for most of my Quest avatars that need transparency

[distant kindle]

OK, I tested to see if it was the toon lit mobile shader and I get this. A long time ago there used to be settings, a sphere, to set the eye line. IS that still a thing? I raise my arm slightly and I also get what is in the second picture. I think the eye tracking is rolled up to the ceiling

[teal laurel]

I raise my arm slightly
*erika starts playing in the background* 😹

[ember viper]

Yeah the view point is still a thing, it's in your vrc descriptor

also, in the IK controls settings you can mess with arm to height ratio

my arm was maxxing out when i barely moved it off my chest, i tweaked the IK settings, and now it maxes out when my arm does

[ember viper]

(click on your avatar, it'll be on the right)

[gaunt knoll]

i was not replying to you

[distant kindle]

sorry, my bad

[pearl rampart]

anyone know how mikumùikudancestation work pls? the camera doesnt work for the avatar

[viral folio]

Out of pure curiosity what furry avatar model should I buy? I want it to be a female and just look cool/pretty

[somber sequoia]

the one you like best

[gaunt knoll]

Yep the one you like the most

Just go around trying furry avis

[viral folio]

Hmmmm. Well I don’t wanna be basic with a Rex. Or a nova. Although ghostly does make some really pretty sfw models

[timber wharf]

#avatar-general #1138520828556890214

here we discuss creation

[knotty jay]

Does anyone know how to add a sfx to an avi whenever it gets interacted with? (for example getting pat, legit just curious lol)

[somber sequoia]

toggle the sound source game object on or off based on whatever condition you like.
Or use one sound source and use VRC Animator Play Audio on a state in the animator to trigger the sounds when that state is active.

[knotty jay]

Thank you!

[ocean snow]

How do i fix this i updated but still cant upload my quest edit of my miku edit

[cosmic temple]

how do i fix this part when i feel like im sure that i already have an animator bound to my avatar?

[somber sequoia]

look on your avatar root, it probably doesn't have an animator component. That's probably because the rig is not setup as humanoid

[cosmic temple]

i see, but how do i specify the bone parts to satisfy the requirements? like i do have them but im not sure how to specify them just so that the SDK can validate my avatar

[somber sequoia]

do you have a humanoid armature?

[cosmic temple]

yes

my rig is already set to humanoid but sdk says i havent specified parts for it

[somber sequoia]

Be specific or show error messages.

[somber sequoia]

Go into the rig setup and see which bones are in which slots. Put the correct ones where they go, if they are not.

[cosmic temple]

i dont see any issues tho, the head, feet and upper arms are there

[somber sequoia]

any error message in the rig window before you click "configure"?

[cosmic temple]

there is a warning yes

[somber sequoia]

okay....

[cosmic temple]

i got this wall of text

this happened after i imported the animator component i think

[somber sequoia]

that looks like it's a warning in the error console, which is not what I'm referring to

[cosmic temple]

oh mb

neevermind i figured out the issue now..

thx for helping earlier kazin

[somber sequoia]

Hey guys, I want to add a GestureLeft Parameter to this animation clip under GestureRight, because this avatar has an animation that I only want to go off if both fists are closed. However, when I click the add button under GestureRight, I can't find any GestureLeft as an option. How do I add it to my avi and make it useable?

[jovial lagoon]

Ohhhh
This is what I can do for you perfectly

[glass condor]

Do tell...

[balmy barn]

just add the parameters in your fx

[jovial lagoon]

The reason GestureLeft isn't showing up in the transition conditions is that it hasn't been added to the Animator's parameter list yet.

[glass condor]

hmm i see

[dapper mulch]

Okay, so I’m running into an error with an avatar

when it fails to build it tells me there’s no animation or something, but it has one

And I am new to this

[gaunt knoll]

Snip tool man your in windows 11 all you have to press is print screen

[balmy barn]

? , you need a descriptor if its ever going to do something for vrchat

[gaunt knoll]

There's a whole button just for screenshots

[ocean snow]

anyone know a fix i updated my sdk

[jovial lagoon]

Go to the Parameters tab (it’s in the top left of the Animator window, right next to the 'Layers' tab).
Click the + icon and select Int (Integer)
Name it exactly GestureLeft (case sensitive!)

[dapper mulch]

Thank you I’ll see if I can figure out how to add a descriptor

[glass condor]

How do i do that 💀

[jovial lagoon]

Good
But at least you people can DM me for the full details

[dapper mulch]

What exactly do I need to type into? Add the descriptor.

[dapper mulch]

I sent a message

[coral basalt]

how can i get avatar making permission

[glass condor]

Add Component in the inspector

[balmy barn]

disc ? descriptor

[ocean snow]

anyone?

[coral basalt]

how can i get avatar making permission? pls help

[dapper mulch]

Which one would it be?

[gaunt knoll]

What do you mean

[glass condor]

Descriptor

[dapper mulch]

ok thank you

[coral basalt]

@gaunt knoll

[balmy barn]

too new account - pay first time for a boost or spend time

[gaunt knoll]

Yep

What's up and people making a new account then goes straight into uploading an Avi

[coral basalt]

how long

[gaunt knoll]

8 hours

min

in a public world

once you git rank new then you can

[balmy barn]

its to avoid people making accounts for toxic spamming junk/other stuff wich they did before, if it was up to me it would be a one time payment or you could never upload

[coral basalt]

can yuo stand stil

[glass condor]

I believe so

[gaunt knoll]

yesss

[gaunt knoll]

agreed

[coral basalt]

oke

[gaunt knoll]

oh no you have to play the game

crazy

[timber wharf]

if only there was a million public avatars available🤔

[timber wharf]

@dapper mulch show console. also win+shift+s

also no preview image but i assume you removed it

[dapper mulch]

This is all the arrors

[timber wharf]

thats the console. and there are 3 errors in it

#avatar-help message

[south rain]

Can anyone tell me why my avatar appears in play mode but when I hit gesture manager it disappears?

[gaunt knoll]

magic

[timber wharf]

@south rain dissapears how, object gets disabled? errors in the console?

[south rain]

I'll send a recording

[dapper mulch]

For some reason, it wants to freaking work out 😑

This is pissing me off

Why does unity hate me so much?

[ocean snow]

i actaully am so confused.

[dapper mulch]

I’m just gonna close out of it and then we go into it

[ocean snow]

i updated my sdk and i still cant make avisquest comp

[dapper mulch]

Looks like it didn’t work, so I’m closing the unity and I’m reopening the thing

[south rain]

sorry its an mkv

[dapper mulch]

Copy ID go down here avatar detach paste attach

I’m trying to also copy the ID it let me upload it to windows finally it only took getting some help which I’m grateful for now. I’ve gotta try to upload it for android so it’s cross compatible.

Yeah, I just love new errors 😕

[gaunt knoll]

what sdk are you on

[ocean snow]

3.10

[gaunt knoll]

3.10.1?

@dapper mulch you as well

[dapper mulch]

I have no idea

[gaunt knoll]

if in cc

its*

[dapper mulch]

These are all the unity packages I’m using

Am I missing anything?

Does this mean? And how do I fix it for android so it’s cross compatible?

[gaunt knoll]

press upload again

[dapper mulch]

ok

Do I have to put it to a standard texture thing?

[ocean snow]

yes

[dapper mulch]

😕 o

[gaunt knoll]

alcom user

[dapper mulch]

Mobile standard or toon standard

Still error

[ocean snow]

should i use vcc instead?

[gaunt knoll]

nooo alcom is better

[ocean snow]

ok.

[somber sequoia]

if you convert it to .mp4 it'll embed

[dapper mulch]

Does this mean I have to shrink down the texture size?

[somber sequoia]

or other things, yeah. See one of the optimization channels for clues, such as #quest-optimization

(by "see" I mean read scrollback, this has been exhaustively discussed)

[dapper mulch]

Materials

I tried to lower the texture, but what am I missing?

[gaunt knoll]

bro read

[somber sequoia]

could be "the texture" isn't the thing taking up space

[dapper mulch]

What could it be? What else takes up space when you’re making an avatar or fixing one?

[junior void]

a good portion could be unused blendshapes

[spark walrus]

can someone help? when im trying to upload the avatar the avatar just dissapears and it just removes everything

[somber sequoia]

we'd need much more detail

[dapper mulch]

Does this mean I’m getting close to fixing it?

[somber sequoia]

one channel

[dapper mulch]

ok

[spark walrus]

When uploading an avatar to Vrchat, it simply disappears and that's it.

[somber sequoia]

that's really not a lot to go on.

[opal relic]

Heyo, does anyone by chance have a link to the iOS thing for Unity? I'd like to make a custom fallback.

[spark walrus]

i fixed that

[somber sequoia]

oh, what was it?

[main remnant]

How come I can't automatically weight paint this hair?

[somber sequoia]

got an armature modifier on it?

also automatic weight painting is okay at best, be prepared to do some manual work too

[main remnant]

Initially no. Now it has because I parented but no weight was applied

[junior void]

the distance of some vertexes to bones is the same, blender cant decide where to add weight to

[somber sequoia]

Yeah also that too

[main remnant]

Mmmmh

[junior void]

you can make a tube object the same shape as this and let it auto weight, then transfer that

[timber wharf]

@opal relic #avatar-help message

[junior void]

but you will need to do some touch up

[somber sequoia]

note that the parent/child relationship has nothing to do with this

seems pretty easy to do manually in this case though

[main remnant]

Yeah but I get better results with automatic weight and then touching it up as needed

I guess I'll have to do that... u-u

[timber wharf]

it doesnt like unenclosed meshes or smth

or unconnected

[opal relic]

I know I can install the iOS module through the Unity Hub. I have problems with that, so downloading directly from the site works best.

[somber sequoia]

huh I've never thought that ever, but I'm glad it works for you 🙂

[white bronze]

can someone help me out with uploading quest avatars?
basically whenever i upload an avatar it works out fine with pc but when i try to upload the quest version everything uploads just fine until i enter the game and then the avatar greys out and says 'security checks failed''. idk how to fix this
when i upload only the quest version to pc and quest it works just fine and this happens with every avatar which i try make quest complatible.
i have no idea what to do and im lowkey giving up as whatever i do it just seems to be the same outcome
if someone can pls lmk how to fix this or at least try help me out i would appreciate it sosososo much

the steps i go through:
upload avatar to pc
make new unity project and switch to android
import the quest version and then attach blueprint and upload
everything is uploaded
when going into game avatar is grey and says ''security checks failed''
(happens to ever

[timber wharf]

@main remnant ye i think seconds one. so you can split mesh and armatures to two halves then reconnect. but also gradient painting would be literally faster

[somber sequoia]

in unity hub, go to installs, then "install editor" then the "archive" tab and there's a link there to the download archive which has those packages.

[main remnant]

Still won't weight paint. I'll manually do this or die trying

[timber wharf]

@white bronze security check means while technically fitting limits sdk is imposing on upload, server-side check finds that avatar to be unacceptably bad for performance for whatever reason. you can share quest stats here
