avatar-help

[timber wharf]

we dont know how server-side checks are done, its not disclosed

[white bronze]

but im just confused on why i can upload the quest version by itself fine to pc and quest but when i try upload it to a normal other pc only avatar it wont let me make it quest and only happens then

and its been happening to all of the avatars im trying to make quest compatible so far

[timber wharf]

oh, i see, didnt quite read through. intresting

[dapper mulch]

So after I uploaded the avatar, it does not have go Loco Gogo Loco simple to add

[sand goblet]

My friend is trying to install Unity for VRChat but is getting this error and he can't continue

[somber sequoia]

which error? There are no relevant errors there.

[sand goblet]

The security alert message on top

[somber sequoia]

Doesn't apply to us and isn't blocking you

[opal relic]

Select the mesh, then the armature > ctrl + P > with automatic weights

[timber wharf]

@white bronze i dont know how to help, maybe someone would know more. but devs said you can always file a support ticket with avi id for them to look, when security checks were first introduced. only advice i have.

[white bronze]

thank you i still appreciate it and ill def try that

[short garnet]

What is this error about?

[dapper mulch]

Question do I have to put the Gogo bone inside the avatar?

[somber sequoia]

can't see how many console errors, but always look at the first

[somber sequoia]

gogo bone?

[analog igloo]

so i am working on a feral avatar or avatar on 4 legs, ik how to make it walk with two front legs but for the head or face how can i get it to connect to the head, ik its possible as ive seen avatars on vrc on quest for it

[dapper mulch]

Yeah

The avatar doesn’t have go go go go at all

[somber sequoia]

the gogo loco docs have install/setup instructions

[dapper mulch]

I tried to go to the Gogo Loco website. I added it to the unity package, but I don’t see it.

[somber sequoia]

What, the large button which says "Documentation"? Huh.

[somber sequoia]

oh that first error in the build window is what's blocking you

[dapper mulch]

Idk

[short garnet]

What about the shaders? How do I change them?

[somber sequoia]

Most quest avatar setup videos describe this pretty well

[dapper mulch]

I’m gonna have to add all of this man

[somber sequoia]

you shouldn't have to do anything with those files

[dapper mulch]

Then how do I add go go loco

[somber sequoia]

did you look at the documentation I mentioned?

[somber sequoia]

No, I mean on the gogo loco website, which you said you went to. There's a documentation link there.

[dapper mulch]

Ok

How do I use this?

[gaunt knoll]

What

Your clicking in random stuff you don't need @dapper mulch

[somber sequoia]

yeah I just assumed they didn't read the doc I mentioned.

[gaunt knoll]

Then complained that is not working

[dapper mulch]

Am I doing this correctly?

[gaunt knoll]

Doing what

[somber sequoia]

doing what correctly? you're just showing files?

[dapper mulch]

Why added all of this to it I don’t know what it is but it is a part of the avatar apparently

[somber sequoia]

fascinating.

[junior void]

clearly not sfw

[dapper mulch]

Oh, I recently wanted to do is add go Loco but I don’t even know if that’ll work. I don’t know what I’m doing.

[grand scaffold]

Well that's a fuckin asset list and a half lol

[night ember]

maybe dont show nsfw

[dapper mulch]

Wait, what?

[night ember]

literally all of that stuff on the avatar is very heavily nsfw content

[dapper mulch]

I’m doing something I’ve never done before, which is adding that type of stuff

[olive pelican]

Lmfao

[olive vault]

very nsfw...

[dapper mulch]

Did I at least add go Loco?

[gaunt knoll]

No

[dapper mulch]

😕

[somber sequoia]

Did you read the docs I suggested?

[night ember]

you added porn content not goloco

[dapper mulch]

Yes, and I don’t understand stuff that way. I have to be physically shown how to do it.

[somber sequoia]

oh well.

[olive vault]

bruh

[gaunt knoll]

Did you read

[dapper mulch]

Yes

And I don’t understand it. I’ve never touched this asset before.

[gaunt knoll]

What did it say

[dapper mulch]

Mentioning all of this stuff that I’ve never touched before

[gaunt knoll]

Did you add it to cc

[dapper mulch]

I don’t know

[somber sequoia]

you don't know if you did a thing or not?

[dapper mulch]

I’ve only started working on avatars last week

[gaunt knoll]

Then try doing that first

[junior void]

i dont mean to be rude, just saying starting right there is maybe putting you out of your league

consider an easier project?

[dapper mulch]

I can’t this means a lot to me

[junior void]

then consider commissioning someone

[dapper mulch]

I’ve gotten pretty far with uploading the avatar that was broken

[grand scaffold]

Oh and looking at those tabs, it's all ripped anyways

[somber sequoia]

oh

well I was gonna type some help, but....

[junior void]

good catch

ye ima yeet out. not supporting rippers

[olive pelican]

Hahaha

[night ember]

yea no you can fuck right off with stolen content

[dapper mulch]

Well, I had to fix the broken avatar with basically almost none of what I’m doing

I’m doing this for a friend. I wanna show them that I can do something and for myself.

[olive vault]

no one will help you now dude. your stealing avatars

[olive pelican]

Translation: "Its ok I used ripped assets cause I did stuff to them!"

[night ember]

by illegally stealing content

[dapper mulch]

and it’s private when I upload

[night ember]

by using illegally stolen content

[olive vault]

doesnt matter, stealing is stealing

[gaunt knoll]

And asking for help in the official discord

[night ember]

wouldnt be broken if you bought it legally

[junior void]

so youre saying youd be completely ok with your avatar getting ripped and other people using it for free without consent

[dapper mulch]

There is no way to

[olive pelican]

Let's be fair, this dude has the IQ of a paving stone.

[dapper mulch]

I tried that first so that way when I would have a job, I could’ve bought it

[somber sequoia]

eh, no need to be insulting

[dapper mulch]

And I’m testing to see what I can do

[night ember]

then buy it dumbass

[night ember]

by pirating

[junior void]

ripped assets often have issues the original ones dont have

[olive vault]

there are free models for that, dont steal!!

[dapper mulch]

Yes, but they’re not a Xenomorph. There’s nothing like this avatar anywhere.

I’m trying to make something new with something that was broken

Something unique that is different

[night ember]

its onbly broken cause you pirated it

[night ember]

stop trying to justify this shit
buy it legally

[dapper mulch]

No, it was already broken. It has no Gogo Loco or anything.

[olive pelican]

Translation: "I wanted this and so I stole it. It's ok, cause I couldn't find one to buy."

[olive vault]

so? try it out on the free models then buy the ones you want if you get good with the free models, thats what everyone does!

[night ember]

"no gogo loco" is in fact not being broken dip shit
buy the avatar instead of stealing it

[olive pelican]

I bet you I could find a Xenomorph model for sale on Jinxxy in like, an hour, tops

[dapper mulch]

But it’s not a Xenomorph it needs to be Xenomorph particularly and I haven’t found any besides this one

[night ember]

then B U Y I T

[junior void]

there is a rexouium xeno mod in the rexouium discord

all you need to do is buy rex and verify in the discord

[dapper mulch]

That’s the thing I can’t there is no way to it doesn’t exist anywhere else to buy it

[olive vault]

just look more? there are alot out there ive seen them

[olive pelican]

I know for a fact there's Xenomorph models on Jinxxy cause I know people who've bought it and used it, lmfao

[dapper mulch]

Where?

[night ember]

you are just blatantly wrong

[olive pelican]

On Jinxxy.

[dapper mulch]

Could you please send me the link?

[night ember]

I would look up the shit you stole but you deleted the image incriminating yourself

[olive pelican]

Kek

[olive pelican]

Lmao, no.

[dapper mulch]

I mean, at least I’m still learning on how to fix avatars

[night ember]

you are going to get fuck all for help since you decided you want to steal instead of paying

[dapper mulch]

I’m doing this with very little experience of what I’m doing. I’m trying my best to make something good.

[night ember]

then go buy the avatar instead of stealing it

[olive vault]

your not fixing anything, its just gogoloco...

[dapper mulch]

and I was given the link by a friend

[night ember]

go buy the avatar

[dapper mulch]

Yes, and I don’t know how to do that. I only touch that asset today the basic things I know how to do for sure just read text stuff.

I thought it was something simple. I didn’t think it was this complex.

And I’m still trying to figure out how to use blender, but I don’t understand it

[olive pelican]

This is intensely funny.

[olive vault]

it is simple child

[dapper mulch]

Actually, I’m an adult, but I’m just dumb

[night ember]

go buy the avatar

[dapper mulch]

It’s not an avatar I can buy

Cause you can’t buy it from anywhere

[night ember]

yes the hell it is

send the name of the avatar

[dapper mulch]

Ok

Zealotdkdxenoserg

[night ember]

"Im not going to look for it and Instead just claim I cant buy it anywhere"

[olive vault]

my thoughts exactly

[dapper mulch]

I can’t buy it anywhere. I’ve tried to find it. I only found it on the website I was given to you by my friend. They told me everything I would need to be there.

[night ember]

oh would you look at that mr dip shit
I googled that exact name and the store page showed up
https://zealotdkd.itch.io/zealotdkd-xenoserg-vrchat-blender-storepage

literally the first fucking link

stop lying out your ass

[dapper mulch]

I’m not

[night ember]

top result dumbass

[olive vault]

its so obvious that you are.. your just trying to cover your ass so you wont get in trouble

[night ember]

heres bing as well

[sharp ocean]

This is amazing

[olive vault]

i know right?

[gaunt knoll]

Can I have some

[dapper mulch]

where do I download it at

[gaunt knoll]

What

[dapper mulch]

It did was downloaded MP4 file

[sharp ocean]

Yeah man, I'm supposed to be working anyway this is just too good

[night ember]

you fucking pay for it

[olive pelican]

This is comedy gold.

[dapper mulch]

What is common gold?

[idle pumice]

Anyone want some popcorn?

[gaunt knoll]

Yeah

[grand scaffold]

It's like they forget what you say before you even say it

[olive vault]

me!

[olive pelican]

I'll take some.

[dapper mulch]

And you all have no right to judge me all I did was want help not to be judged and criticised. I was given the link by a friend you have no right to judge me.

[sharp ocean]

We have every right
You're stealing

[night ember]

bitch you are literally pirating content
lying out of your ass about it
making every fucking excuse possible
and playing the victim now

[dapper mulch]

No, you do not

[olive pelican]

No, we do.

[gaunt knoll]

You can have jail time for it

[idle pumice]

Internet piracy is against discord tos we don’t have to do anything

[olive vault]

your stealing, and lying about it. you didnt even try to find the actual avatar. you just ripped it because its "easier"

[dapper mulch]

I was given the link by a friend they told me I could get the avatar from there

[night ember]

pulling out the "my friend" bullshit

[olive vault]

yeah right

[dapper mulch]

I’m not lying about that they do it too

He told me it would be good since I’m new

And I’ve just been following that

I didn’t know that it was wrong

[night ember]

and we immediately told you that it was stolen
but did you actually correct it? no
you instead chose to double down with fake ass excuses and lying

[dapper mulch]

And I’m sorry

[night ember]

we told it was wrong immediately but you keep on trying to justify it

[olive vault]

did your parents never tell you that stealing is wrong?

[sharp ocean]

Too late now. You doubled down on why stealing is ok.
You're not sorry you stole you're sorry you were caught.

[idle pumice]

People have been telling you is wrong

[olive pelican]

Prove it

[sharp ocean]

Buy the avatar, show you are sorry

[dapper mulch]

With what money you wanna give me $30 and buy it

[olive pelican]

Ding.

[olive pelican]

Lmao, see, you're just a thief.

[sharp ocean]

Lmao why would I do that
You stole not me

[night ember]

now you are begging for money

[grand scaffold]

Man's xenomorph fantasys are going down in flames as we speak

[dapper mulch]

No, I’m not. I’m just saying.

[gaunt knoll]

Looks like your not getting an Avi

[night ember]

"I cant afford it so Im just going to steal it and then pretend like I didnt know"

[olive vault]

at least delete the ripped avi files and project

[olive pelican]

Everyone knows it, now. You didn't look for it, you won't pay for what you stole, and you think we're gonna be cool with that, lmao.

[dapper mulch]

i’m only doing it because I can match with someone and I wanted to make something unique. I was given a link by a friend. My friend gets their assets from there they were just trying to help me. I didn’t know it would go to this and why I don’t know how to do something. I ask for help from anyone else that makes avatars so they can try to teach me on how the avatar stuff works properly.

[dapper mulch]

I was given a file by someone that it was a furry avatar and they let me download it and is that considered the same thing

[sharp ocean]

"I wanted it really bad so it was okay I stole"
Lmao

[olive pelican]

You already lied once, no body is gonna believe you

[night ember]

lied multiple times poorly

[dapper mulch]

Answer this if I am given a file is that considered stealing by a friend who tells me it’s okay?

[night ember]

"my friend does it so its clearly ok"

[olive vault]

yes!

[sharp ocean]

Of course

[night ember]

bitch thats literally what piracy is dumbass

[dapper mulch]

They had me sign in on a website that was called bubblegum or something like that

[olive vault]

stealing is stealing no matter where you got it from!

[dapper mulch]

My friend cannot actually give me the file that they paid for

[olive pelican]

Kek

[night ember]

your "friend" clearly didnt pay for shit if thats the website hes using

[dapper mulch]

Then I have no choice but to delete it

[sharp ocean]

Even if the friend did, sending a file after is was paid for is still wrong

[dapper mulch]

Cause I did not want to cause any prompt I just wanted help with my avatar that was all

[night ember]

we told you this several times

[sharp ocean]

Finally he gets it

[dapper mulch]

What

[somber sequoia]

wow is this still going on?

[olive vault]

we all clearly saw where you got it from and it wasnt that website!

[night ember]

piracy is literally stealing

[gaunt knoll]

yeah i made some popcorn

[olive vault]

stop trying to lie, your not goot at it

[dapper mulch]

So when the person that buys the avatar are they the only ones that are actually supposed to be using that avatar they can’t give it to a friend correct?

[sharp ocean]

Obviously

[night ember]

thats quite literally what the fuck piracy is

[somber sequoia]

Yes, giving it to your friend is file sharing without license

[olive vault]

still stealing

[dapper mulch]

This is good to know for the future

[sharp ocean]

How... Is this a question you have to ask

There's no way you made it to adulthood not knowing this

[dapper mulch]

Yes

[sharp ocean]

That's crazy

[somber sequoia]

yeah I'm amazed you didn't know this already.

[main remnant]

That's exactly what I am doing

[dapper mulch]

I’ve only started with the avatar stuff last week

[olive pelican]

Note, they clearly got the avatar from a ripsite; everything they're saying is a lie.

[dapper mulch]

I barely know what I’m doing

[somber sequoia]

it's not specific to avatars, it's literally any media

[dapper mulch]

All right, where can I get an avatar for free then that is legal?

[sharp ocean]

Only thing you should be doing is deleting it. There's a key on your keyboard for that so I don't think you need help there

[dapper mulch]

Cause I need to be pointed in the right direction, please

[sharp ocean]

Booth has free avatars

[main remnant]

I'm having lots of problems with this. I can't even weight the whole thing automatically to a single bone. What could be wrong?

[dapper mulch]

What is the website in particular called? Is it just called booth.com or what?

[night ember]

just go into edit mode and select all then assign it to the bone if its only 1 bone

[somber sequoia]

not sure why you need that method to weight something to one bone - go into weight paint mode and use "set weight"

[main remnant]

https://booth.pm/en/search/VRChat

[night ember]

also is this just ripped from roblox

[dapper mulch]

thank you 🙂

[main remnant]

It's not one bone, I did this with 1 bone to check if it would weight paint it because I can't understand why it doesn't

[dapper mulch]

As long as I know, I can get my avatar from there then I’ll be happy. I wanna make sure I do this correctly and I don’t wanna make anyone mad. I just wanted help with my avatar. It was all.

[night ember]

it cant cause it literally cant find a solution for it

[sharp ocean]

There's no way you get the avatar you want for free. You need to pay for it

That's just life

[night ember]

you have all these loose vertices in all different shapes connected together with faces
you kinda need the bones to at least follow it

[main remnant]

The thing is I'm doing an armature following the hair flow but it still won't weight it automatically T^T

[dapper mulch]

Also since I am new to avatar stuff, what should I actually be starting with in y’all’s opinion?

I can get a better understanding of what I’m actually doing

[night ember]

did you rip it from roblox cause that just looks like roblox hair

[somber sequoia]

you could have done it manually by now

[main remnant]

An example

[main remnant]

I've literally spent all this time doing the rigging + eating u-u

[sharp ocean]

Start with a finished avatar and do simple edits like textures and colors.
Don't buy avatars you need to add things too. Get ones with stuff like gogoloco already on it

[olive pelican]

Automating rigging is very janky, and it's generall;y suggested to refine anything you automate or it'll be wacky.

[main remnant]

No it's not from Roblox. I've never played that

[dapper mulch]

Is Gogo Loco supposed to already be on every avatar?

[somber sequoia]

not at all

[main remnant]

That's my idea but can't automatically weight to get a starting point that doesn't involve me manually doing it

[somber sequoia]

I have it on none.

[night ember]

where did you get the hair then cause the topology might be that ass

[olive pelican]

@main remnant I mean, I just maunally paint most stuff, ngl.

[dapper mulch]

Is it possible to make what I want with blender?

[sharp ocean]

Not at all. Separate asset people can choose to use. But most people will say in their store if it's already on the avatar

[olive pelican]

@dapper mulch yes

Literally you can make anything in blender.

[main remnant]

Doesn't look bad

[somber sequoia]

if what you want is "a 3D model" then sure 🙂

[night ember]

gogo loco is in fact not a requirement

[night ember]

where did you actually get the hair though

[main remnant]

Got it from booth

[night ember]

can you link it

[olive pelican]

Kinda reminds me of Vroid.

[main remnant]

Lemme find the link

[night ember]

I wouldnt doubt it being taken from vroid and sold as an asset

[main remnant]

What's vroid?

[olive pelican]

That's technically not against any rules

[night ember]

especially with the quads being triangulated and with sharps for some reason

[olive pelican]

VRoid is a (decent but not great) way to make an anime avatar.

[main remnant]

Oooh yes

Never used that

[olive pelican]

Technically the hair for my Vtuber is made in vroid.

[dapper mulch]

What would I need to make a Xenomorph?

[somber sequoia]

what's a xenomorph?

[olive pelican]

Blender

[somber sequoia]

Blender.

[olive pelican]

kek

[dapper mulch]

You know those aliens from like alien versus predator and alien in general they have like no eyes like a really long head with a mouth

[night ember]

that one black big headed alien with the mouth tongue

[dapper mulch]

They’re actually kinda hot

[somber sequoia]

Just making sure we're on the same page here. So yeah, blender, but rigging that is gonna be a fun challenge.

[olive pelican]

I'd laugh at that but I'm dating a carnivorous colonial siphonophore, so pot and kettle.

[night ember]

https://tenor.com/view/jackpot-american-dragon-gif-4546337555559570811

[dapper mulch]

??

[night ember]

thats blender yess?

[somber sequoia]

You aren't going to post all of your blender progress here, are you?

[dapper mulch]

How do I use blender?

[olive pelican]

That's be entertaining

[somber sequoia]

... really?

[dapper mulch]

I’ve never used it before

[night ember]

we arent your mother thats going to spoonfeed you

[olive pelican]

Paving stone.

[somber sequoia]

cool. Go learn.

[dapper mulch]

Everything I’m doing is without experience

[somber sequoia]

at one point, we were all there too

[night ember]

go learn then

[dapper mulch]

you’re talking to someone that has literally been told I lm as smart as a husky

[somber sequoia]

sounds like a problem for a different channel.

[olive pelican]

Youtube. Flipped Normals. Do all their tutorials, they're step by step.

Yes, all of them.

[dapper mulch]

Is blender similar to unity?

[olive vault]

no, just watch youtube tutorials

[olive pelican]

Blender makes models. Unity makes them move.

[dapper mulch]

o

[night ember]

you have the largest source of knowledge literally in your lap

use google

[olive pelican]

I just had an idea. It's horrible.

[somber sequoia]

I like horrible ideas.

[gaunt knoll]

same

[olive pelican]

I wanna take the average VRChat user that's never touched Blender/Unity, and then some random Boomer, and see which can make a rigged and working avatar first/better.

[dapper mulch]

Is this site legal?

[somber sequoia]

I know lots of smart boomers 🙂

[gaunt knoll]

no

[somber sequoia]

no

[olive pelican]

No, yeah, that'd be the fun part.

A war of generations

[dapper mulch]

How do I know if the sites are legal?

[olive pelican]

A bridging of lifetimes

[gaunt knoll]

you pay for it

[olive vault]

if you dont have to buy it, its stealing

[dapper mulch]

This is good to know something new

Is this a trusted website?

[olive pelican]

This is a circus

[somber sequoia]

can you move this to #avatar-general maybe? this isn't about building content.

[dapper mulch]

ok

[somber sequoia]

and I mean the entire "what base do I use" discussion, not just that one post.

[gaunt knoll]

aaa proof

[olive pelican]

Anyway. Has anyone done anything interesting with constraints lately?

I've been thinking about whether I want to use IK or constraints for muscles for the next variation of my avatar.

[gaunt knoll]

ive seen that pop up a lot

[olive pelican]

IK feels like it'll be jankier.

[dapper mulch]

well thanks for helping me today

[olive pelican]

IK is also a whole new setup I'd have to learn.

But I should learn it, honestly

[gaunt knoll]

and expensive to get

[somber sequoia]

it goes on sale

[olive pelican]

Got FinalIK on sale ages ago

Ye

[gaunt knoll]

really

dam

[somber sequoia]

yeah I did too, and keep not finding uses for it.

[olive pelican]

Mood

[gaunt knoll]

i got to get it just to say i have it and maybe use it (not)

[olive pelican]

If I ever make a nonhumanoid, I'll definitely use it for that.

Probably.

[dapper mulch]

i have a question is if i find a avi thts a blender legal ore not legal

i need to no

so i do everything legit

[timber wharf]

99% its not but depends on the platform. there are some free avis/bases in usual places to sell em, then you can read their license. if its just some site with "free vrc avatars", its rips

[dapper mulch]

im looking for like a bace model

that i can shape

[olive pelican]

The only sites you should be using are VRCArena, Jinxxy, Booth, and Gumroad. Assume anything else is ripped. I'm not going to try to explain the granularity of this to you because my asessment of your abilities suggests giving you a firm rule set is the only way.

[somber sequoia]

sketchfab, turbosquid, there are lots more of these.

[dapper mulch]

would gum road have something that can be reshaped

[somber sequoia]

if it's a 3D model you can reshape it

[dapper mulch]

thats what im rtying to find

[gaunt knoll]

every avi can be reshaped

[dapper mulch]

i want to make this

[olive pelican]

Ok. So, make it.

[dapper mulch]

is useing ai to make it legal

like a tremplit

[woven raven]

Hello! I have a question about unity. How would I add like clothes and accessories to an avatar. I can't find any good videos

[dapper mulch]

from what i as told u drag it on the avi

but it doesnot alays work

[woven raven]

How would I connect the assets to the avatar

[gaunt knoll]

either blender or you can use armature link (vrcFury)

[woven raven]

ok and how do you use that because i tried that and im confused because im new to unity

[gaunt knoll]

does clothes fit the avi

[timber wharf]

broad question, depends on how much item is made with your base avatar in mind

[gaunt knoll]

?

[woven raven]

What?

[gaunt knoll]

is the clothes made for the base

[plucky drum]

i have a model that i like to periodically add clothes to. but everytime i wear the avatar quest users see the model just fine but they cant see any of the clothes i make and im assuming its because im not using quest compatible shaders on the materials on said clothes

if i upload my model, then add quest compatible textures and upload it again but with mobile selected will it just upload as a new avatar?

or will it make a quest compatible version that only quest users can see

[timber wharf]

@plucky drum youre supposed to reupload both pc and quest versions

they will be one avatar as long as pipeline manager id ie avatar inner number is the same

[hoary rain]

Got a question- With VRChat's new item system, (example, the lighter) is there anyway to make that system be on an avatar where another person can grab an item, and move it freely like that without it snapping back to the main user? If so how would one go about implementing that?

[timber wharf]

@hoary rain no

i mean nothing new in that regard

AvatarProp/ContactTrackers exist for ages

[hoary rain]

Are you saying "no" because you don't know or are you saying no that can't happen, explain why the no.

[somber sequoia]

no because we cannot alter anything about items

nor create them at this time

[timber wharf]

@hoary rain if i didnt knew, i wouldn't say anything would i

[plucky drum]

im curious as to the process tho. do i upload it with pc selected, then swap to the quest textures then swap to mobile and upload again?

[hoary rain]

The question is regards to items, not the feature itself.

[somber sequoia]

Same as initial upload, you must upload both, however you want to setup that process.

[hoary rain]

I think you took my comment as rude, it's not intended to be at all. Sorry.

[solar fulcrum]

Quest and mobile upload together there both android unless your doing ios

[plucky drum]

wdym same as initial upload?

[somber sequoia]

first time you uploaded the avatar is the "initial upload"

[gaunt knoll]

yeah phys bones you can

[somber sequoia]

you uploaded both versions then, you have to do that every time.

[plucky drum]

ah

ok

[hoary rain]

But with Physbones the item snaps back?

[solar fulcrum]

Yes you have to do PC first

[plucky drum]

i just wanna know if my idea would work.

[solar fulcrum]

Then android

[plucky drum]

and i swap to the quest compatible textures when i upload the android version?

[timber wharf]

@plucky drum yes basically that. you can copy avatar and have both vrsions in one scene to upload quest faster, depends on how are you adding items

[somber sequoia]

I didn't think the order was actually relevant.

[plucky drum]

do i have to do that? or can i do the uploads 1 at a time

[somber sequoia]

haven't done it in a while though.

[timber wharf]

@somber sequoia with vrcf it is

[solar fulcrum]

I need some help adding assets and full custom text to my avi

[gaunt knoll]

no im not sure how my friend did it but he can place down a basket ball hop and people can throw the ball

[somber sequoia]

Oh, didn't realize Fury was being discussed here, okay.

[timber wharf]

well nowadays its easier to assume it is

[hoary rain]

Do you still have contact with that friend? I'd love to ask em about it.

[somber sequoia]

I don't assume anything unless it's clearly said

[somber sequoia]

VRLabs has a throwable item prop with physics, perhaps try that? Not sure how up to date it is.

[timber wharf]

@hoary rain AvatarProp on github by ThatFatKidsMom.

[gaunt knoll]

sadly hes deployed right now but as soon as i get in contect with him i will be happy to ask

[timber wharf]

based on VRLabs ContactTracker

[hoary rain]

I'll give that a go, thanks guys!

[solar fulcrum]

Can anyone help me?

[somber sequoia]

you'll need to provide details

[timber wharf]

@hoary rain theres also should be latejoiner synced versions but there were so many of them with different performance cost that idk which one is the best one nowadays

[solar fulcrum]

Need help attaching assets DJ booth headphones floating flashlight and custom text

And voice activated halo

[somber sequoia]

do they come with instructions?

[solar fulcrum]

No

[somber sequoia]

are they VRCFury prefabs?

[gaunt knoll]

what do they look like

[solar fulcrum]

Yes and pyomi toon

[gaunt knoll]

-_-

[somber sequoia]

if it's a fury prefab, drop it on the avatar.

[solar fulcrum]

Unity says that it's not attached will not upload

[somber sequoia]

when I said "provide detail" - this is what I meant. error messages are detail.

[solar fulcrum]

The DJ booth I need attached to my avatar but I need it as a world drop so when I drop it I can still move around when I'm DJing

And would it be easier if someone just could join me on discord I could load it up and screen share and work together from there

[gaunt knoll]

fury toggle add world drop

[plucky drum]

i tried uploading with quest textures and it spat out an error and failed the build

[solar fulcrum]

Imdjd I'm new to this I don't even know how to make a toggle yet 🤣

[gaunt knoll]

click on the dj booth add component

toggle

add the path

[solar fulcrum]

I'm in the middle of DJing right now but can I add you

[gaunt knoll]

no

[somber sequoia]

haha

[gaunt knoll]

just ask for help in here when your not

[somber sequoia]

probably don't ask for help if you aren't ready to receive it.

[solar fulcrum]

I'm a visual learner and hands-on I have autism so just asking questions and you telling me is not going to help me so I'm not going to get help here I'll find somewhere else

[somber sequoia]

You'd have to look for other errors, or errors in the build window, this one is not useful on its own.

[plucky drum]

only other error i got was warning me that an audio source i have will be disabled and this

[somber sequoia]

maybe don't crop so much so we can actually see the error. And ideally, the whole console with the counters in the upper right.

[somber sequoia]

better - but again, look in the build window, where the stats are, right above the "build and publish" button.

it's right though - you can't put sounds on quest avatars, that'll have to be removed.

[plucky drum]

found an arror saying the "Mobile/Diffuse" shader isnt compatible with movile

[somber sequoia]

Yep, that's the blocker - you can only use supported shaders

[plucky drum]

the other errors being some other textures i forgot to convert to mobile stuff

[plucky drum]

i figured the diffuse shader under the mobile section would be mobile compatible

[somber sequoia]

no, as it says, it needs to be under VRChat/Mobile

[plucky drum]

ah

yea just noticed that

[wheat pecan]

I’ve made four avatar so far and they’ve all worked. Just click the auto fix and leave the rest alone.

[plucky drum]

i cant auto fix that one

[timber wharf]

@plucky drum and not all vrchat/mobile are compatible either. for poi just use toon standard

[plucky drum]

i just have to manually set em all to mobile textures

[somber sequoia]

yeah you can't autofix these

[plucky drum]

im just using the standard lite stuff under mobile

[gaunt knoll]

sadly

[plucky drum]

praying the standard option works

[gaunt knoll]

pretty sure standard is the old one right?

[somber sequoia]

yep

[plucky drum]

does that mean it doesnt work>

[somber sequoia]

no

[gaunt knoll]

just looks worse

[plucky drum]

it looks fine enough, just frustrated having my clothing appear invisible

the avatar doesnt have any bits or anything so i just look like a naked barbie doll but its still weird

not sure what to repalce the glossy eye bit with, cant find anything mobile compatible thats transparent

nvm

nvm the skybox texture didnt work

so i need to figure out a mobile transparent texture

i got the textures fixed by the avatar is a few mb too large so i cant upload it

[timber wharf]

@plucky drum only trasnparent is additivie and multiply

cant have any alpha transparency on quest avatars for a good reason

well i mean not that it worse than additive/mult that much, those just not so usefull

[opal relic]

How does one make an emission hue shift slider for the Toon Standard shader?

[blazing garnet]

Hey there, my unity just decided to delete the entire character and all the prefabs in it. Is there some autosave I can grab or would I need to restart?

[opal relic]

If it's gone from the project files in Unity, it's likely gone from your computer. Check your file browser.

[blazing garnet]

This?

[opal relic]

The bottom box with the folders, yes

I can't think of a reason why the objects would disappear from the scene; much less disappear from your project files unless you have deleted something accidentally.

[blazing garnet]

It was a character with a buncha stuff added, and just (no clue how) after uploading, I saved and quit, came back, and the thing was just nowhere to be seen.

It's not the stuff below that got deleted, but the one that would be top left

Not sure what it's called, prefab?

I think the worst part is I forgot to label most of the files, having to pay for that laziness now lol

[opal relic]

My only other idea is if you force quit Unity after hitting ctrl + s

[floral junco]

Is anyone else not able to upload their avis? And what does it mean by “avatar validation failed”???

[blazing garnet]

Didn't end up doing that, unfortunately that was about two days of work

[somber sequoia]

Looks like you have a default scene here - is there a scene file in the project you didn't open?

[blazing garnet]

I'm not sure, where would that be?

If that is the case, that'd be great.

[somber sequoia]

as I said, in your project. which we can't see from here, so it'd be hard to tell you exactly where.

in Unity it'll have an icon like the unity symbol. In your file browser outside Unity, it'd be named something.unity

[blazing garnet]

I don't think so. At the very least I haven't ran into this before and I don't see any other scenes.

[somber sequoia]

ok my last guess is if you were working in the default example scene as provided by the VRChat SDK and then upgraded the SDK, it'd wipe that out.

so don't do that in the future.

[blazing garnet]

I haven't updated the SDK

I took about a 5 minute break and reopened the project

[lime summit]

ok so im no coder but my friend said i can copy my avi id and put it in the descriptor and that should fix my problem with me not being able to upload which uh i dont know where to throw it

[somber sequoia]

then I know of no reason that unity would erase a scene.

[blazing garnet]

It just unironically deleted everything without any update, or like, anything.

Well, thanks for trying to help either way, I do appreciate it.

[somber sequoia]

What is the actual problem you have?

[lime summit]

my code got deleted from restarting my computer

[somber sequoia]

"code"?

there's no code on avatars.

[lime summit]

welp idk its one guy said when i was asking for help anyways

[somber sequoia]

I guess I'm not sure what you're trying to do

[lime summit]

this is my problem

[somber sequoia]

?

explain what it is you are trying to do

[lime summit]

i had this all filled out

and now it wont let me upload coz it lost its data for it

[somber sequoia]

the avatar was already uploaded once though?

[lime summit]

yup

[somber sequoia]

and you have an actual avatar in your scene?

[lime summit]

many times

everything is there

[somber sequoia]

ok then yeah, go to the "content manager" part of the SDK, find your avatar, copy its blueprint id, go back to the scene, click the avatar root object, find the "pipeline manager" component and paste in that blueprint ID.

[late tinsel]

i need help with my physbones the hair doesnt move

[lime summit]

ok so heres the other part i dont understand

[somber sequoia]

show the component

[late tinsel]

ok

[somber sequoia]

explain exactly what you don't understand about this, I'm not going to try and guess

[late tinsel]

I added phys bones to each child bone

[somber sequoia]

also learn to take screenshots

[lime summit]

to find this stuff like do i just need throw it into some code somewhere else like pretty much lost here ik it sounds simple but like yea

[somber sequoia]

find what stuff? what code?

[lime summit]

the places i put the id in like yes i see the scripts but like where do i go find them since its being difficult

[somber sequoia]

Oh - the Pipeline Manager, you see that there? It has a blueprint ID, is that not the right one?

If not, click "detach" and you'll get a box to put one into.

[somber sequoia]

hey that's way more readable

looks like you got physbones there too

[proven walrus]

How cans I make my avi physbones sync on pc and quest?

[lime summit]

cool thanks i got it working again

[somber sequoia]

Great

[late tinsel]

any clue as to why my physbones ownt worl

work?

[somber sequoia]

They look fine from here. How are you testing?

[late tinsel]

by loading in on my quest

im making a quest avi ill load into vrchat and move around the hair stays the same nothing moved

also i have this

you think this is an issue

[somber sequoia]

Does your build console say you have too many physbones and it's removing them?

[still shuttle]

If you have too many physbones on a quest avi, all of them get deleted on upload. So make sure you dont have extras

[somber sequoia]

I don't know what you are indicating here?

[late tinsel]

how am i supposed to have all my hair move :(

[still shuttle]

You could re rig it in blender to be more quest friendly

[late tinsel]

ouchie

[still shuttle]

Other than that, there may not be another way except for removing components on parts you don't mind not moving

[late tinsel]

ill do that then

thanks for yalls help

[somber sequoia]

fewer bones or fewer physbone components.

Also this is a reminder for everyone to actually read these messages in the build window

[near charm]

Ive gone through everything single material and I'm still getting this

[gaunt knoll]

press upload see if it works

[near charm]

It don't :(

[chrome plume]

what if you click 'select'?

[somber sequoia]

you still have a material with a bad shader. might be one that gets swapped on, might be on a particle system

select often doesn't do more than select the avatar, it's nearly useless

[near charm]

Yea that's all select dose when I click it

[chrome plume]

in that case, what I often try is: drag and drop the avatar to somewhere in project to make a prefab. right click the prefab and click export the unitypackage except I don't actually export it. then it'll show every files (especially materials in this case) that's linked to the avatar. take a screenshot of all the material files. cancel the export and go through those material files one by one

[late tinsel]

got antohwr issue

what i do about the visimes

please help

[somber sequoia]

You have to fill in all of the slots

[late tinsel]

yeah but

how do i know what to select

[somber sequoia]

doesn't look like that model has all the shapes you need. I believe cats blender plugin has a thing to turn those into the whole list, you might try that.

[late tinsel]

ok thanks ill look into that

[fervent spear]

hey guys any idea how i fix this

[somber sequoia]

how did you move the knee joint?

[fervent spear]

just selected it and moved it backwards

the little ball between leg and knee bones

[somber sequoia]

Yes but in what program, what mode, etc.?

[fervent spear]

ohhh

blender, edit mode

[somber sequoia]

ok good, not pose mode 🙂

So yeah that's what I'd think to do also. not sure if you'd have to reset the rig in Unity though, so you might try setting it to generic, apply, then redo the normal humanoid setup

[fervent spear]

i did try that actually 😭 it didnt do anything

[somber sequoia]

bleh.

[fervent spear]

idk lmao ill keep trying

thank you for helping me:)

[mortal summit]

i need help on how to make 2d eyes, kinda like this that only move up and down and not rotating bc i have no idea how to do this

[fervent spear]

managed to fix it!! the legs in unity were for some reason rotated and i just had to reset their rotation

[somber sequoia]

oh nice!

[gaunt knoll]

i dont think we have used 3D eye since 2019 unity

[manic wharf]

Help I don't know what i did wrong

[dark jay]

How do i fix outline clipping in poiyomi

[gaunt knoll]

your on windows use the snipping tool for screenshots

[dark jay]

(

?*

[gaunt knoll]

i wasn't replying to you

[dark jay]

I know

U put a ? To my question

[gaunt knoll]

where

[dark jay]

?

[gaunt knoll]

tbh you image look great whats wrong

nvm

i see it

[dark jay]

Yea

[somber sequoia]

scroll up to the top of the console and look at the error there - the root cause is usually in the first 2-3

[dense urchin]

so uh, 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?

In the past, I had to pop the base body off the ground in the FBX itself, not necessarily in Unity, since I didn't think about an outfit-swapping gimmick.

[gaunt knoll]

so when I do this i just hide the feet so it looks like i swich to heels

Sadly, there is no way to change the offset of the avi dynamically within vrchat

[sinful pumice]

I cannot find a good free male head model can i get some help

[dense urchin]

WELP. Guess I'm doing a bit of an overhaul with my avatar modeling system then-

[sinful pumice]

someone willing to hop in a call with me so that i can find a model for the head

[gaunt knoll]

no we dont dm in here only server based help if you do get a dm either is a scammer or a scammer

[sinful pumice]

Makes sense

[clever cloak]

Hey there, I have an avatar that has a mochifitter profile, but I can't seem to get clothes to fit onto it using it. Is there any guides in English to follow? I've been using translate from the Japanese ones but evidently I got some stuff wrong.

also before people dm me asking to pay to do it for me im not interested, i wanna learn to do this myself so i can do it more in future

[gaunt knoll]

sorry i cant seem to find the asset you are talking about

who is it made by

@clever cloak

[clever cloak]

Nine gates

it allows outfits to be shaped onto avatars they aren't designed for

[spare dome]

okay this error is killing me new project new avi can someone please tell me how to fix this

[gaunt knoll]

what do the avi stats look like

[spare dome]

stats ?

[gaunt knoll]

the thing above upload avi number 2

[spare dome]

im sorry im a bit stupid where ?

[gaunt knoll]

just above upload

[gaunt knoll]

whats the top oe

one*

[gaunt knoll]

press upload

[spare dome]

same error

[gaunt knoll]

did you add vrc fury

[spare dome]

yes

[gaunt knoll]

can you send a screenshot of cc

[spare dome]

cc?

[gaunt knoll]

all of your packages

[gaunt knoll]

are you new to avi uploading

[spare dome]

nope beeen uploading for about seven months now

i have just never ran into this error before

[gaunt knoll]

youve added everything to the project

[spare dome]

yeah a model that was inthe projected required them as dependices

[gaunt knoll]

like support to a deferent game everything

...

[spare dome]

straight from the avi creators mouth not mine

[slate ferry]

Hi

[gaunt knoll]

send a screenshot of them saying this then i dont believe you

[clever cloak]

are we allowed to send booth links here so i can reference the asset im having trouble with or will that get me in trouble lol

[gaunt knoll]

You can as long as it's not you saying oh buy this

[clever cloak]

alright, me sending this link is not an endoresement in any kind. i just wanna know if someone can help me set it up
https://booth.pm/en/items/7657840

the avatar base im using (kanata by bluestella) has a profile but I can't seem to figure it out

[gaunt knoll]

@spare dome yes and that's not what you have

[spare dome]

it is tho theres nothing missing

[gaunt knoll]

You've added stuff that isn't on that list

[spare dome]

? where

audlink ?

audiolink can cause a error this bad ?

[left gull]

everything other then the BD tools (since idk what that is) thing can be added ontop of a project without causing issues usually (( having both av3 and gesture manager in the same project could be causing issues since they can sometimes conflict ))

[clever cloak]

i also should verify which packages i need, i probably am using way too many for each

[spare dome]

everything in the pic came with the dependencies and automaticly get turned on when i add them to the project besides audio link and easy quest tools

[gaunt knoll]

Na your problem is transition I'm looking at the Avi seems pretty cool if it works

[spare dome]

i acutal dont even remeber add that

[clever cloak]

these are the packages i use. I am not sure which ones i even need lol i just sorta add it all in just in case

im still relatively new to avatar stuff all things considered, so idk which packages i should use of these

[gaunt knoll]

Alcom user HI there

[clever cloak]

hi

yea i like alcom

[gaunt knoll]

How are you finding it

[clever cloak]

its nice, i like being able to update stuff

[gaunt knoll]

Amazing I'm glad to hear it

[chrome plume]

for mochifitter, you need both forward avatar profile and backward avatar profile. For example, if your avatar is Manuka and you want to apply Moe's cloth, you need Manuka forward profile and Moe backward profile

[clever cloak]

heres the ui for it, and the avatar im using has profiles, but im not sure where to apply them so it works

video example and explanation in case that helps at all

[gaunt knoll]

Aaa okay I got you so
This tool doesn't fix clothes that any Avi
The clothes that you want to be fitted has to be clothes that are supposed by those avis in the source list

[clever cloak]

ah that would make more sense, i see

so i find an outfit designed for one of those avatars and then use that to convert it

im glad i checked here before buying a bunch of random clothes lol

ill test it with the included shirt test

[gaunt knoll]

Yeah so you can but they have to be from an Avi in that list

[clever cloak]

good to know

that is a bit less exciting knowing its for a limited few avatars but still cool nonetheless

[gaunt knoll]

Would love someone to make this for some western avis cough cough

[clever cloak]

taht would be nice

*that

[somber sequoia]

don't you just need to make profiles for those? The tool would still work, right?

[gaunt knoll]

Yeah

Aaa shit

[clever cloak]

that is true but idk how to get my own pre existing profile working, let alone make my own lol

[somber sequoia]

it's probably documented...though not in english 🙂

[gaunt knoll]

😭

[chrome plume]

it has nice documentation on it including manual to make profiles in blender by yourself

[gaunt knoll]

Oh really now

[clever cloak]

yeah and a very active discord, however its all in japanese and translate i seem to be getting confused about

[gaunt knoll]

Maybe figure out how it works with the profiles that make your own for western avis

[clever cloak]

ok yeah tried with the default outfit and it did work, thats cool

[gaunt knoll]

I'm going to go coding for a month to have a shot

[spare dome]

it was a bloody package iusse

five days and it was a freaking package issue

[gaunt knoll]

BOOM

[spare dome]

god i hate unity

[clever cloak]

yeah that happens

[gaunt knoll]

Just glad your back up

[spare dome]

no no the og model needed all that stuff another model in the project was been screwed up over it and untiy didnt wanna tell me

but thank you imdid

[gaunt knoll]

All good just glad you figured it out

[clever cloak]

the mochifitter tool is still pretty new so im hoping that as it goes on theres like a public list of conversion files

as theres a few jinxxy items i wanna fit to my avatar but don't know how

[chrome plume]

yeah i think it's becoming a new standard in booth community. newer avatars come with profiles with it these days.

[clever cloak]

yeah, someojne should make a like booth list of all compatible avatars that'd be so helpful

i hope we also get some English guides in the future to explain how to use it and set up profiles more

[drowsy crane]

Can Xevians spell system work on the nardoragon model???

[somber sequoia]

as far as I know it'll work on anything

[gaunt knoll]

as long as you have a hand

[drowsy crane]

Whenever I try to attach the anchors it shows me this

[somber sequoia]

as it says, you can't restructure a prefab. Maybe the instructions tell you to unpack it and you didn't do that?

[drowsy crane]

Hmm lemme double check the video

It flew past my head, thanks

[somber sequoia]

np

[digital cairn]

Okay so, I have emotes with audio on my avatar, but when I go into gesture manager and play them, the animation plays just fine but the audio doesn't play at all. I think its worth mentioning that the avatar I'm using needed Unity 2019.4.31f1, so I imported it into that version with the VCC, then I upgraded it to the current version (also using VCC), so maybe something broke during the upgrading? I really dont know.

[somber sequoia]

you shouldn't need an old Unity

[lilac musk]

Make sure your camera is near your avatar

[digital cairn]

Well I did for this specific base. And adding avis that used old unity into new projects using new unity causes problems last time I checked

[digital cairn]

The game camera? For play mode?

[somber sequoia]

it shouldn't - you can upgrade any avatar to current.

And yes, the audio listener is on the camera when you're in unity's play mode, with gesture manager

[lilac musk]

Yes, the audio is based on the game camera, not the scene camera. It also will change position when you are in play mode some times, so just double check it once your in playmode

[digital cairn]

Oh okay, lemme mess with it then

[digital cairn]

Ayyy it worked! Thanks 👍 that was driving me insane lol

[lilac musk]

Nice

[clever cloak]

Im looking at getting a pair of pants for my avatar and i found one on jinxxy i like but its not made for my avatar. Is there any way to get it to fit my avatar? I know the base its for but don't see a mochifitter profile for them alas.

[gaunt knoll]

blender

[clever cloak]

damn, that makes sense

ill keep looking for one that is made with my base then, i really know nothing about blender

[lilac musk]

Learning blender will take your avatar creations to a whole new level. I highly recommend it

[digital cairn]

I actually recently got a unity tool for that exact problem, though it was made for Booth models. But I can give it to you if you want

[clever cloak]

i do plan to learn it in future

i just gotta get adhd meds that work

[somber sequoia]

cannot emphasize this enough

[clever cloak]

is it mochi refitter

[lilac musk]

Nice

[clever cloak]

as i have that as well

yea i want to learn to make worlds more than avatars but i do want to learn blender regardless

and for both for sure

but for now i can't focus enough to learn it so im trying some meds to help

[lilac musk]

Learning all the different game creation tools makes you better in all ways

[digital cairn]

Nope its called Alterith

[clever cloak]

oh ill give that a look

[digital cairn]

But I've never heard of mochi refitter. I'm guessing that does the same kind of thing?

[clever cloak]

yeah

mochirefitter lets you make profiles of avatars (or the avatar devs) so clothes that support it can fit eachother

very new tho so not that widly supported yet, i know a few that use it and mine happens to be one luckily

[digital cairn]

Ohh okay, neato

[clever cloak]

so now i can find clothes for like 5 ish avatars that will just work instead of the 1

its also non destructive which i like

[digital cairn]

Very noice

[clever cloak]

the asset im looking alas is a western one over on jinxxy, not a japanese booth one

oh also while im here I have an oddly specific question about body textures

my avatars body texture is too muscular, is there any guides on like repainting to make it look more natural?

just trying to make it look average shape not super jacked

[gaunt knoll]

oh god

[clever cloak]

ill take that as easier said than done then

[gaunt knoll]

easy one see if they have one you can buy

[clever cloak]

ive looked and none of them are non muscular

they are if anything more muscular

[gaunt knoll]

if not sub painter

[clever cloak]

damn

[digital cairn]

are links allowed in here? i forgor

[somber sequoia]

if it's just normal maps you could just remove that

[digital cairn]

youtube links i mean

[somber sequoia]

sure, as long as you're not advertising something

[clever cloak]

looking at the psd it seems pretty baked in but ill take a look

[somber sequoia]

PSD isn't the thing that goes on the avatar, nor likely a normal map

[digital cairn]

oki, yeah I just needed it for comparison for another thing im trying to work on

[clever cloak]

psd makes the png that goes on yea

normal map is like pbr depth iirc

[somber sequoia]

Yes basically. But the PSD might have layers in it that you can turn off then re-export the textures

[clever cloak]

i had to do that already for another thing so ill check if thats an option

no dice sadly

just these

the shadow layer seems to make up the muscles

but if i just get rid of it then its just unshaded and not good looking

[digital cairn]

So I dont really know how to describe this so imma add some videos to show, but the dance animation in my video doesn't look as uhhh natural(?) as its shown in the youtube vid. Theres like, some bounce to it in the youtube one, but on my avi it just looks like its staying in place while doing it

[digital cairn]

https://youtu.be/I8BQxnSwQKM?si=bAX3vP5Sv9wtCOos and also my unity vid for comparison

[clever cloak]

yume nikki mentioned

[digital cairn]

I've seen this kind of thing on other avatars in game as well

[digital cairn]

heck yeaaaa

[gaunt knoll]

weird looks like you neck is locked in place

[digital cairn]

or the chest maybe?

thats what I was thinking

[gaunt knoll]

yeah it doesn't flow what does it look like in game

[clever cloak]

I wish booth let you have multiple search terms instead of all at once, would make searching easier

[gaunt knoll]

did you make that or did you get it from somewhere

[digital cairn]

probably the same way but i'll do a test upload and see

[gaunt knoll]

https://boothplorer.com/

[digital cairn]

Got it from a download linked in the youtube vid I sent

Its originally a vmd, so i had to convert it to an anim file first, which I managed to find a unity thing for lol

[clever cloak]

woah

very helpful, thank you

[gaunt knoll]

your avi isnt moving around thats why its in one plave

[gaunt knoll]

and english xD

[digital cairn]

Ah, is there anyway to fix it?

[clever cloak]

this is nice but it doesn't allow the search thing im looking for either

i will use it tho, i like the auto price conversion

[digital cairn]

I have a few more animations i wanted to add as well and they actually make the avi move properly

[gaunt knoll]

what are you using to convert them

VRChatavatartoolkit

[digital cairn]

Well I only had to convert the one I showed, the rest are already anim files.

[digital cairn]

Yeah that

[drowsy crane]

Is this supposed to happen after adding the spell system?….

I followed each step like in the video

Its just a bunch of stuff not connected to the avatar, but the avatar works fine even though its not really connected

Im so confused

Do I just delete all of that?

[drowsy crane]

Vcc told me to “resolve” something, and now im getting compilation errors by unity

Vrcfury and gesture manager wont work

[ornate stump]

You have to provide exact detail of the error. Saying "something" is useless.

[drowsy crane]

I forgot what it said

Im probably just gonna start from 0.

[ornate stump]

Better take screenshot and post it here if you want to ask about it.

[drowsy crane]

K

[lusty berry]

how do i fix this? i added a physics bone to her chest to make it better looking when she moved. but now i cant touch them and just phase through them

[ornate stump]

Does the physbone move at all?

[lusty berry]

yes! it moves in game perfectly

just cant touch them lol

[ornate stump]

Did you set radius for physbone?

[lusty berry]

oops

what should i set that to lmfao

[ornate stump]

You see the radius display in the scene and adjust accordingly.

[lusty berry]

do i change the colliders size at all?

[clever cloak]

have you tried it with any gumroad models by chance, as there is one there i like

[ornate stump]

Not sure which collider you're referring to.

[ornate stump]

That size rather means amount of how many collider can collide with it. Hands already affected by default without setting this.

[lusty berry]

ohhhhhhhhhhh

okay!!

ill see if it works now!

[hollow hull]

Hello, i have been working on triwave's proto kit in unity and so far everything works good. Although i cant set my custom animation or tweak the ones assigned by default. Specifically idle animation.

The arms are fixed straight like (pic1), still shaking a little in-game. I have tried changing proxy_idle and cloning that anim into Assets/, then assigning it to animation manager (pic2), which is assigned to the descriptor (pic3). Am i doing something wrong?

[timber wharf]

@hollow hull thats hands ie gestures only layer

ie it has masks that allow only for hand bones (and not arms)

[hollow hull]

Thank you, gonna try to figure it out again

[clever cloak]

shader question. all the black textures i use have a weird artifact on them that looks like this:

is there a way to make it more clean without the noise?

this is what they should look like

whereas right now the shader/texture looks a little grainy/noisy

im using poiyomi toon

[ornate stump]

Looks like the original is using very high resolution texture, 4K which is too high for use vrchat.

[clever cloak]

ah, unfortunate

eh it looks good enough

i dont think anyone is gonna be getting close enough to inspect my pants textures

at least i hope not

[timber wharf]

@clever cloak tried "high quality" ie bc7 compression?

[ornate stump]

You could reduce texture size further to reduce the noise, and add fabric detail texture while very high tiling.

[clever cloak]

i have not, ill check that out

[clever cloak]

ill also do this

doing both of those helped yea

this is 512 as opposed to the standard 2048

[supple cloud]

i tried everything to get rid of this even i enforced it to t-pose and it wont work

it wont go away

[ornate stump]

You have to see the detail written in red in the bone assignment slot.

[supple cloud]

it said charator not in t-pose

[ornate stump]

And side note, your model is missing legs so it can't be used as humanoid rig.

[supple cloud]

i did hand move and it still like that

[ornate stump]

What did Enforce T-Pose do?

[clever cloak]

the asset comes with a normal map and texture which i know what to do

[supple cloud]

forces everything to be a t-pose

[clever cloak]

a roughness map which i think is alpha iirc

but it also has a height map and metallic map which i don't know what to do with really

[ornate stump]

So you saw immediate changes after you click Enforce?

[supple cloud]

yes

i enforced it

applies it

i opened it

[ornate stump]

Then there other reason that it can't be use as humanoid rig. One of the reason is missing the leg.

[ornate stump]

Then you also have to see Import Message in the rig selection menu.

[supple cloud]

the only thing it said missing eyes

[ornate stump]

Can you screenshot where you saw this?

[supple cloud]

it works

thank you

[ornate stump]

How did you make it works without a leg?

[supple cloud]

no i just added legs then enforced it

and the warning gone

[ornate stump]

You added in blender? That's quick.

[supple cloud]

no

it already has legs

i just gotta add it to the vrchat rig thing

[ornate stump]

Not sure where you're referring to "vrchat rig" but ok.

[supple cloud]

this

[ornate stump]

This doesn't relate to vrchat.

[supple cloud]

it a mapping for avatars for vrchat

[ornate stump]

To prevent confusion, "avatar" in unity terms is a description of how to map bones to make it work with animation. Which is not the same as "vrchat avatar".

[supple cloud]

i just forgot what it called

but yeah it mapping

[fiery linden]

it's Someone fixing like this again?

[ornate stump]

See errors in console panel.

[ornate stump]

#avatar-help message See this message for how to.

[fiery linden]

It's said this

[ornate stump]

Click on the first avatar validation failed and see message below.

[ornate stump]

Also you might have to see the top of this list first.

[fiery linden]

Here some error over right here

[ornate stump]

That's the issue.

[ornate stump]

#avatar-help message Also see this message on how to properly taking screenshot.

Yes. But you already saw the error.

[fiery linden]

how about this one?

[ornate stump]

The validation failed already show the reason in the Review Any Alerts section.

[digital cairn]

Nope, but I dont see why it wouldnt work

[clever cloak]

working with it now, i think I need the avatar for the outfit i want to convert it from

unless im understanding it wrong

[clever cloak]

have you had to purchase the avatars of the outfits you convert from?

the pants im gonna use i think i can get to work in blender even with my no knowledge but ideally id like to stay in unity for this

[digital cairn]

Oh yeah, you'll need the original avatar, which I think is dumb

[clever cloak]

unfortunate, blender it is then for this

[digital cairn]

Can I dm you? I might have some ideas

[clever cloak]

sure

[hard mirage]

Do I have to worry about messing up blendshapes when editing a head asset to change facial features? If so is there any tutorials that could help?

[junior void]

You definitely want to be careful. Here's an example: The head likely has blink blendshapes. Now if you narrow the eyes on the base shape, the blink will make the eye lids go past each other/intersect. There's nothing you can do other than try and see. I suggest you make your edits onto a new blendshape first and then you can try all other shapes in combo with your edit to see if you need to work something out before finally applying it to basis, if you even wanna do that.

@hard mirage

[hard mirage]

Thank you so much!

[coarse steppe]

ok im about to go to bed but ill put this here in case anyone wants to help when im up. im trying to make the chip and guac hat from despicable me 2, i got some parts working, a grabbable chip piece from the hat that gets parrented to my hand with a parent constraint, i was able to get the contact sender to follow it. i added a receiver in the hat to make the glob of guac show up so that one works fine, but the one by my mouth to eat it wont fire and advance the animator, ive tried many combinations of fixes, like changing the receiver type to having a 2nd custom tag just for that one. all of those i have no luck, ive been goin a lil crazy so if someone could help id greatly appreciate it 🥲 🙏

[clever cloak]

ok i gave up doing easy routes im in blender editing the pants manually

[clever cloak]

im the goat

got it working

pants fit, and i gave them blendshapes to make sure it all looks clean

[errant carbon]

Seeking someone who maybe knows more about this:
I have a furry avatar where I struggle to make a thumbs up (finger isn't extending far enough) unless I use legacy fingers with valve index controllers) fingers bend into palm on non legacy mode...any clue how to fix things like that?

Is if something that is easy to fix? Can it be done in unity or does it have to be done in blender??

I would return the favour for someone helping me figure this out if I'm honest

I love love my avi but the hands is the last thing that needs fixing

[clever cloak]

okay so I am stuck for now, I got all my clothes working and synced except the pants. The pants are just an fbx file and they don't seem to want to move with my legs at all and just sorta float on my avatar. Is there any way to make it so the pants will move with my legs?

im trying with modular avatar to merge animator but that doesn't seem to work

since its just an fbx, the file heiarchy is just the whole pants, not sure if that is part of the issue but thats my guess

i have a bad feeling ill need to go back to blender to like weight paint

but i think ill sleep for now as its 4 am and work more on this some other time. almost there

[junior void]

For a mesh to move, it NEEDS an armature.

Seeing as the asset itself doesnt come with one, you need to parent the pants to the armature of your avatar - in blender

if you are lucky, the pants have vertex groups (weights) already. if not, youll have to transfer weights from the body to the pants, which there is an easy addon for to do that

[clever cloak]

i doubt they do, as they seem to be just a model and nothing more

[junior void]

https://jinxxy.com/SentFromSpaceVR/robust-weight-transfer lets you copy weights from another mesh (aka your body)

its good as a base, you might need to touch up tiny areas tho

[clever cloak]

ill give that a shot thanks

[ornate stump]

Should not use Arktoon shader and remove it from your project.

[clever cloak]

okay yeah the pants have no weights at all
