[mystic monolith]

I currently developing a avatar but there's some issue in visemes part where when I speak, the teeth comes out. How do I fix it?

[somber sequoia]

Look at the list of visemes in the avatar descriptor, find the one active when this happens, actuate it manually and see if it still is a problem.

[cobalt cloak]

I have this idea that when I move and I'm a skeleton, the Minecraft skeleton sound plays. Is that possible, and if so, any ideas on how to do it?

[timber wharf]

@cobalt cloak if by movement you mean body movement like trackers and such then its a tough one

getting movement with thumbstick is easy on the other hand

[cobalt cloak]

Okay, I can do the simpler thing, and when I feel like it and have time, I'll do the tracking (if possible)

[timber wharf]

for thumstick you just need ScalarVelocity avatar paramter and play audio behaviour. ie if speed>0.5 goto play audio, then go back

https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/animator-parameters/

https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/state-behaviors/#animator-play-audio

[cobalt cloak]

okay thx

[cobalt cloak]

and the other one? do you know how

[timber wharf]

bunch of contacts with min speed ig

[cobalt cloak]

like on the hand and feet okay ye

[wooden pecan]

so uh, i edited my fbx file for my avatar and reimported it back into unity, copied the stuff from the good one over to the new one and the physbones look like a DBZ explosion. how do i fix this lol

[somber sequoia]

you likely exported with different settings for "apply scalings" - set that to "FBX All" unless you know for sure it should be something else.

[wooden pecan]

alright lemme do thatnow

[somber osprey]

how do I convert this into a mesh?

this isn't in a mesh type so I need to convert it to mesh so I can put it in there

[somber sequoia]

what is it though?

prefab?

click that arrow, see if it opens up and there's a mesh inside.

[somber osprey]

fbx import

[somber sequoia]

but that's a weird thing to be doing, not sure why you would do that

[wooden pecan]

Yeah FBX All wasnt set, thought it was. Thanks for the simple fix!

[somber osprey]

now idk what went wrong

[somber sequoia]

what are you actually trying to do here?

[somber osprey]

replace the shape of this with this

[pearl furnace]

does unchecking the avi saved button, prevents it from running it again (left the animation toggle on) then i changed to a different avi while playing an animation and go back to it? or i gotta set it up?

[somber sequoia]

saved means when you change that value in-game, it'll persist to the next time you load that avatar.

[pearl furnace]

Ahhhh

[mystic monolith]

On blender right? If that's the case, can I use the exported edit version of the mesh and replace it on Unity?

Because, I don't want to reset everything

[somber sequoia]

I meant in Unity

but yes, you can replace the mesh from Blender assuming you didn't unpack the model prefab

[mystic monolith]

Because I tracked only 4 of the viseme is normal

Other have the teeth popping out

[somber sequoia]

Are your visemes just the normal blendshapes in the avatar descriptor? Or do you have animations for them?

[mystic monolith]

Normal Blendshapes

[somber sequoia]

then you'd have to go into Blender (or similar) and fix them

you don't have something like VRCFury's blendshape link on there? I guess that could be a problem if used wrong.

[mystic monolith]

Because actually, I'm using the VRM to VRchat avatar creator

So, the prime suspect is because of the plugin

[somber sequoia]

ohhhh

yeah I'd suggest importing the VRM into blender, fixing things there, then exporting a FBX into Unity.

but I don't really do VRMs, so.... dunno what the best suggestion is

[mystic monolith]

I see, does anyone have the vrchat visemes reference?

Or auto visemes

[somber sequoia]

https://developers.meta.com/horizon/documentation/unity/audio-ovrlipsync-viseme-reference/

(linked off the vrchat site here: https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/creating-your-first-avatar#viseme-blend-shape-recommended)

[mystic monolith]

I still have the original blend file, but need to do it from scratch is tiring

Thanks anyway

[somber sequoia]

you might start by selecting the problem parts (teeth I think you said?) and in mesh edit mode, remove those vertices from the shape key

just guessing though, haven't seen it.

[mystic monolith]

Sure

[wooden pecan]

When i use GestureManager on my avatar it sorta compresses into a bean? Any help?

[mystic monolith]

How do I setup for the Jaw Flap Bone features if I want to skip blendshapes

[somber sequoia]

rig the jaw bone to move the mouth

[mystic monolith]

Hmm, still need to reimport from blender

[somber sequoia]

It's not really great unless your avatar is like, a robot or something with a rigid face

[mystic monolith]

Welp, I will find other way around

[wooden pecan]

Fixed it, for anyone else having and issue like this, check and make sure your colliders are in the right place lol.

[night nimbus]

Hi guys i'm working on my avatar, and i need help on remplacing my main mesh.

The mesh I originaly had had a shape key issue and my goal is to find a way of remplacing the old one which had to bad shape key with the new one with the new shape key reworked

[night nimbus]

here the highlighted body is the correct one

[balmy barn]

overwrite it?

[hazy quest]

Import the original FBX in Blender, delete the body, import the new body, re-parent with the old armature, export FBX and enjoy!

[night nimbus]

will i have to remake all the armature configs ?

those with the vrc phys bone ?

[hazy quest]

No.

But if you change the armature's bone hierarchy, then you'll have to do it again on the affected bones.

[night nimbus]

I hope I understand your words, I’ll be trying and letting you know !

@balmy barn I can provide more info in private in propose to not flood the channel

[balmy barn]

if you ever used vrcfury blendshape optimizer you can see the Body mesh get changed, manually you can just drop one in there too (extremely rare id do that)

if i make a mesh explode from bad shapekeys i fix it in blender and just export/overwrite the one i have in scene, pretty easy

[night nimbus]

So, i imported the original FBX as recommanded, i fixed it in blender after deleting everything not being the original body mesh now i exported it out of blender to my desktop

and when i try to put it in unity it just makes another fbx i can't find how to overwrite the body only on my existing scene

[junior void]

You're supposed to save it out of blender directly into unity

[night nimbus]

inside of my existing project i belive, i'll try that

[solar warren]

Is it possible to make a part of my avatar only visible in the dark?

[somber sequoia]

some shaders can do this, yeah

[solar warren]

I mean on quest, not just pc

[somber sequoia]

then no

[solar warren]

Sad

Thanks

Wait actually I got an idea to do it

[night nimbus]

I just saved it into my unity project file and once done, i've checked but nothing has changed

[somber sequoia]

The idea is to save out of blender as the same name as the file in your project so it overwrites that file.

you can copy stuff around if you like to do the same thing, but the goal is the overwrite.

[night nimbus]

That's what i've done, i copied the name of the existing fbx

before saving it. My problem now is that i'm looking for ajusting only one part of my "fbx" model which is the body shape key specificly for a clothe toggle.

I've notice clipping after making all the settings and trying animations on the gesture manager

I think i'm trying to do something perhaps impossible.

[junior void]

Unless you unpacked your model, overwriting the original fbx in your project will update the model in your scene

[vestal monolith]

Has anyone encountered this issue where uploading to VRChat rips UV seams in only some areas of a mesh?

I'm exporting with BetterFBX using FBX2020 as the Binary, Shader is Poiyomi 9.3 and I made sure it was not transparency nor is it mipmapping, I have double checked that there are no physical seams on the mesh in Blender and I feel like I'm losing my mind trying to fix this.

[somber sequoia]

in your texture, does the color only go to the UV border and not over it?

[vestal monolith]

I have a pad of 16 pixels and there is no alpha

so yes.

This is using an Opaque shader, with the issue persisting on other shaders as well

[dense meadow]

is there a way to replace the fbx meshes in a prefab without getting rid of any of the components on it? i edited a mesh to better fit and dont want to have to transfer all of the physbones one by one :,)

[somber sequoia]

Yes, overwrite the .fbx file

[dense meadow]

.......duh alr thanks lmao

[somber sequoia]

Also make sure you didn't unpack the model prefab in the scene

aaaand you should use the same export settings as previously, especially "apply scalings". Which should be "FBX All" unless you know for sure it should be something else.

[dense meadow]

worked just fine, dunno why doing that just completely didnt occur to me lmao. thank you!

[somber sequoia]

yep, really easy 🙂

[ripe flax]

so im having these errors unsure how to fix them myself, since pretty new to using unity and making vrchat models

[vestal monolith]

I am still struggling with this issue and have tried basically everything at this point to no end result

[somber sequoia]

these are warnings, you don't actually have to fix them if they aren't a problem.

[night ember]

Those arent errors

[ripe flax]

Think I found the problem ^-^

ty for the help

[somber sequoia]

probably you don't want to generate blendshape normals, either import (with right settings) or switch on legacy

[night ember]

Or if you didnt even make custom normals you can just set them in unity

[whole sigil]

I rescaled a model in blender to be taller and now the game thinks its pelvis should be centered on the ground (it very much isn't). I can correct this manually but I'm trying to figure out why it does that in the first place

specifically the bottom of the pill goes from where it should be down to the floor, but none of the other boxes are wacky

(figured it out rescaling it made the avatar configurator choose the wrong bone to be the hips

[dusk lance]

How do I fix this? Never happened before

It gets worse

Didnt catch it when it was at 4 rows of 14 gigs and one row of 4 gigs

and using a cool 97% Memory

[wind heron]

i literally downloaded everything (unity, vcc) about an hour or two ago and i keep getting this error, and theres no blueprint for me to delete/remove. i dont get it

[dusk lance]

Wrong At pal

[somber sequoia]

oh damn, sorry about that

[somber sequoia]

it says the problem right there though - wrong SDK version.

must have clicked the wrong message.

[wind heron]

i mean yea, but again i downloaded vcc like an hour or two ago. how newer does it have to be? doesnt a new version of SDK come with the VCC?

https://tenor.com/view/head-banging-on-desk-gif-10679983709462918952

[dusk lance]

Click Manage Project

Use drop down and update

[somber sequoia]

no, VCC is just a tool to get other packages, it doesn't automatically update anything. Go in there, and in the line for your project, click "manage" and then yeah what Nylon said.

[wind heron]

oki lemme try that

[dusk lance]

Just click the newest one, no need to be finicky around which version you use.

[wind heron]

ohhh what i was on like 3.7 lmao. i thought downloading everything in one just means everythings updated lol

lemme try to upload it again

i got it ! thank you @dusk lance @somber sequoia

[arctic ginkgo]

i'm having this strange issue with a constraint. For some reason in play mode, the two axes that are not marked as frozen are getting set to 90º in play mode. It is not being animated, and I can tell because I can adjust the values manually in play mode. However, doing this changes the remaining Y rotation value to 180º when it was previously 0º....

actualy it seems to have to do with the rotation at rest

[dusk lance]

So Uh update to this problem, even Unity isnt reading whatever those other Editors are.

And no I cant just End Task on them, Tried they just come back

[arctic ginkgo]

I thought I had issues with setting it to 0, so I'm trying that right now

[arctic ginkgo]

weird that you're not able to kill them. You can always just try restarting your PC

[dusk lance]

Have, 5 times

[arctic ginkgo]

so the unity editor just starts itself when you restart your PC?

[dusk lance]

Oh no, Only when I open the project

As soon as the Unity Loading thing goes away and project opens... BAM 4 more instances of Unity Editor pops up and slowly increases ram usage until it gets to much and Unity Crashes

So were doin this the fun way

Backing up the project on a hard Drive and Purging every instance of Unity from my PC

[radiant tree]

Can anyone help me explain?? I've been screaming into the void for hours, I removed duplicates, and did as it said, and it's still not uploading, even by making the bones on my model's fingers red, telling me it's not in a t-pose when it is!

[left wharf]

do you have a mesh object named "Head"?
if so, try rename it like "Face" "Body"

[radiant tree]

It's registering the object that all the hair is connected to so that the hair is optimized, I already renamed the correct bone to "head".

problem is, it still isn't working

[somber sequoia]

You can't have a mesh object have the same name as a humanoid bone

[radiant tree]

I figured that out, which is why i named the hair bone hair root, but it's still having problems

[somber sequoia]

then it's another issue, which we haven't seen.

but also, that error message said the issue is Head, not anything like "hair"

[radiant tree]

I already fixed the head in blender, redid the bone work, I'm in a rut.

[somber sequoia]

I guess that image is out of date then?

[radiant tree]

I've been fixing it for an hour, and i keep getting the same message

[somber sequoia]

then you didn't fix it yet

[radiant tree]

I changed the bone it thought the head was to a different name, i don't know why unity is still busting my butt about the model

[left wharf]

we said to change the name of the head mesh object, but you are still looking at the bones.
probably that's the probrem

[somber sequoia]

in that image you posted, the bone in there is called 'Head', and it says you have a mesh named 'Head' also.

[radiant tree]

alright, we'll see

[latent saddle]

So I’m slowly learning unity and I am wondering what is going wrong here when I tail swap?

[grim valley]

is the reason that the chain isnt moving when i move a bone because that isnt the right bone? im trying to do physbones and the physbones itself work- but the pendant doesn't move.

[somber sequoia]

maybe show the actual physbone component

[grim valley]

not what im asking, if the bone FOR the chain isnt moving, does that mean the bones were parented wrong in blender

the physbones work fine.

[somber osprey]

is there a way where I can do a fadeout effect on the top?

[grim valley]

alpha maybe?

[somber sequoia]

oh I see. If you rotate that bone and no mesh moves with it, yep, bad weight paint

[grim valley]

ty, sorry if i seemed hostile i just suck at explaining

[somber osprey]

in which tab?

[true ore]

Im a noob to untiy, i tried using modular avatar to toggle my accessories but this happened on this first one, what do i do?

[left wharf]

"Setup Outfit" is only for clothes
try Create Toggle for Selection

[true ore]

Ohhh ok tysm!!!

Whats the difference between create toggle and create toggle for selection?

[left wharf]

create toggle is create an empty toggle that does nothing
create toggle for selection is create a toggle for selected object

[true ore]

Tyty!! I rlly appreciate it

https://booth.pm/ja/items/7328789 ?

[grim valley]

whats considered high transform physbone count in todays avatars? like most verypoor avis (booth, etc) have how many avg?

currently mine lol

from just 2 hairs and ears, 3 compnents

[grim valley]

find original fbx, and go to inspector. make sure you make it create from this model. if need be, configure it

[grim valley]

then make sure it uses that mask it makes

it is using that avi mask?

in your animator

[river tinsel]

batmann

[grim valley]

make sure the venomavatar mask is being used in your animator on the actual avatar

[woven pulsar]

alright let me take a look

this is what is shows me

[grim valley]

is there no animator?

aka that thing^

if not, scroll and add a new compenent called animator. put your FX layer and your avatats mask

[woven pulsar]

I am very new to all this so apologies if I am kind of slow

[grim valley]

youre all good man

[woven pulsar]

do I need an animator controller

[grim valley]

shitty drawing but basically do this, you click your avatar (the prefab i assume it may be for you), add compenent (might have to scroll if all of them are open), add a animator, then use the FX in your avi descriptor, and the mask that should be named venomAvatar

[grim valley]

No

just the animator component

[woven pulsar]

Ok

[grim valley]

did that work?

[woven pulsar]

I'm trying it now one sec

[grim valley]

kk, lmk

[woven pulsar]

Nope

[grim valley]

same error?

[woven pulsar]

yeah

[grim valley]

are you sure your on the right thing

lol

thats showing 0 tris

make sure thats the same as whatever u have in your hierarchy

[woven pulsar]

Holy crap I might be an idiot let me check that out

[grim valley]

lol youre good dude

<@&397642795457970181>

idk if isupposed to ping yall but

[woven pulsar]

now it says this

[grim valley]

you just add the animator like i was telling you to do last time, make sure its in the MAIN thingy, not any of the stuff (like armature)

that might b why

[woven pulsar]

I add an animator and it gives me the same message again

[grim valley]

show me

the animator and where it is

[grim valley]

make sure you save the avatar stuff, seems like youre still editing everything

[woven pulsar]

No I'm all done editing I got this avatar off of sketchfab and then took it into blender to make it a file able to upload to Mixamo and then opened it in unity to finally upload with a full skeleton

[grim valley]

i mean in unity lol

the blue scene means youre editing the prefab

usually

afaik

[woven pulsar]

Oh how do you get it off?

[grim valley]

back arrow around here

[woven pulsar]

Whole screen goes back to the default with the avatar disappeared

[grim valley]

is there anything inn the hierarchy?

[woven pulsar]

Ok now it shows back up

[grim valley]

good

[woven pulsar]

But still the same error messages

[grim valley]

is everything still there tho?

[woven pulsar]

This is so odd

[grim valley]

yeah lol

[woven pulsar]

Yup

[grim valley]

show

[grim valley]

click the venomavatar mask

n show me it

[woven pulsar]

Like open it up?

[grim valley]

ye

[woven pulsar]

It's just a bunch of random code

[grim valley]

wuh

show

if you

click it

acutall

[grim valley]

show this , click the prefab / fbx that u dragged from hiarchy, go to rig and show me this i meant

[fervent spear]

hey guys for some reason whenever i apply transforms to my armature in blender, the bone roll automatically gets set to a number that isnt 0

although it is a very small number im still not sure if it matters or not?

[woven pulsar]

I use to be able to see the rig option now I don't anymore

Would you be able to figure out a solution if I sent the file?

@grim valleythanks

[grim valley]

i will in a bit, working on my avi rn lol

[woven pulsar]

copy

[sonic yarrow]

does anyone knows how can i attach prefabs menu installation to sub-menus instead of the main menu option on my avatar?

[left wharf]

unset Install To and set menu to Prefab Developer Options > Menu to Install

[sonic yarrow]

that solved it, thank you so much!

[solar warren]

Why is the texture so blurry? Its supposed to be a minecart

[ornate stump]

Hints are texture filter settings and "non-power of two" scaling.

[dusty roost]

I'm currently working on a model of this character, and their body is a pill capsule.. im not sure how to phrase my question, but how would i go about making the inside of the model look like this? like, with the shines following the camera so they look the same at all angles?

[junior void]

matcap?

[dense meadow]

does anyone have any ideas as to why some of the physbones on an avatar dont... well, physbone, when doing mmd world dances?

[junior void]

All of them go stiff?

[dense meadow]

not all of them, only some of them, which is the confusing part

[junior void]

That's indeed confusing. Could it be that the ones that go stiff have "is animated" ticked in the physbone settings?

[dense meadow]

i thought it'd be the opposite, ive tried it both ways and both of them just go stiff.

[junior void]

Hm. That's a first for me as well

I personally would probably add VRCFury's MMD Compatibility component juuuuust for the f's of it

[ornate stump]

Is it only when in mmd world?

[dense meadow]

i did 🙃 ive done so many things to try and figure it out, including comparing it with avatars that dont have the issue and i just. cant figure it out lmao

[dense meadow]

yea, so its not the worst thing in the world, im just annoyed i cant figure out why

[ornate stump]

I really doubt that actually is the case. World doesn't have ability to disable avatar physbone nor controlling in any way. Does it actually work fine in other world? How did you test it?

[dense meadow]

its fine when in the world itself, its only when in the animation. testing is very scientific in that i just. wiggle and see if the bones wiggle lmao. multiple different dance worlds, same bones no longer wiggle in dances. im p sure it has to be something wth animations and what not but the only thing i could think of was write defaults and i checked to make sure all of mine were on :,)

[grim valley]

anybody here familiar with pcss at all for poi

[lament tulip]

can anyone help me make a animation that makes all my clothing hue shift enabled useing vrcfury etc

[junior void]

vrcf is so easy to work with. maybe state what youre stuck at so we can actually give you advice

[lament tulip]

alrighty so my clothing atm has a bunch of materials and they are all colored diffrent colors and it has toggles like theme toggles for each clothing to change color and in those materials theres a option to do color adjust and hue shift and when i try to change materials that i would hope effect say theme 4 in the toggles it dose not and so i need to i guess make a animation of all the clothing peices from whatever toggle they are on to be hue shift and shifting speed etc i dont really know how to go about it

my guess is that the toggle for theme 4 is a animation that makes all the clothings hue green

[junior void]

this is complex, can you break it down?

so you have toggles for material changes already?

[lament tulip]

yes

all color can switch

but i went to mateirals for the clothing all 4 witch it green

and i tried to change the materials to be rgb like hue shift

and it didnt work the theme4 toggle still is green

[junior void]

aha so youre trying to edit an existing hue shift to produce a different color

[lament tulip]

and i dont know how to really mess with animations that well

yes

[junior void]

ok so first things first

hows the toggle even made?

[lament tulip]

if u think its easyer we can get in a call i dont mind

i can show u everything really quick?

its way early vrchat model

like 2019 unity and before

2018 or something

[lament tulip]

cause i dont really know how to awnswer this

https://gyazo.com/efe42507669abb8a33ee0dcaf8e1ea4b

[junior void]

it would then likely be an animation in the fx layer

[lament tulip]

yeah theres animations for all the colors

il show u the animation how it looks

[junior void]

i am not up for vc. im sick af atm

we will have to do with images

also, if i dont end up knowing the answer, its here for others to see

[lament tulip]

okay

yeah like this

[junior void]

ok so what color are you trying to change it to anyway

[lament tulip]

il show u what i want

[junior void]

tell me what u want, what you really really want

[lament tulip]

this is what im going for

but this being on theme 4 i can tell its doing a green hue

[junior void]

so a continuous slow hue shift?

[lament tulip]

this btw is just unlocked matierals 4

yeah im pretty sure i could get a radical wheel for speed on that to with vrcfury

if someone helped with that

[junior void]

i was going to say its probably easier to create a vrcf control for this than messing with those big animations bc vrcf does the animation part for you

[lament tulip]

ok so i can do that but last time i did vrcfury it broke the theme color like i could not toggle my themes

so if u can guide me corretly

lets do it

[junior void]

i dont see how a vrcf toggle would break your other toggles really

[lament tulip]

i probably did it wrong

so what do i do first?

[junior void]

you add a toggle component. personally i crete empty game objects to put them on for readability

[lament tulip]

dont you add the toggle component to the avatar though?

[junior void]

counter question. if the toggle is not on the avatar, how would the avatar ever include it?

[lament tulip]

yeah so why say put it on a empty game object

like meaning a object that will be on the avatar but hidden

[junior void]

put the empty on the avi, and the toggle on the empty

[lament tulip]

wild

[junior void]

xD

[lament tulip]

if i dont want to do that?

[junior void]

if i ever wanna delete stuff, all i do is delete the empty

slap on avi

[lament tulip]

u can delete vrcfury though

and the components

[night nimbus]

this error shows up when i try to upload my avi :(

[junior void]

i know i can delete components but i am too lazy to right cligh "delete component"

i just wanna smack the del key

[lament tulip]

ok so if i wana just do it the other way

i can just add it to avatar

[night nimbus]

Also guys i managed to do what you told me to overwrite and it finaly worked !! thank you all a lot

[lament tulip]

vrcfury component toggle

[ornate stump]

Have you checked rig configuration in the model import?

[night nimbus]

Where is that? Oo

[ornate stump]

The where you changed between Generic and Humanoid rig.

[lament tulip]

now what

[junior void]

add an action and set material property

[night nimbus]

I have this

[ornate stump]

"Configure"

[lament tulip]

oh i tried matieral swap before

[night nimbus]

Oooooo i didnt know about this menuu

[lament tulip]

that looks advanced af^

[junior void]

you need to understand that poiyomi already has a built in way to roll over color automatically. so realistically, all you need to do is set that to be enabled in the toggle

[lament tulip]

so apply to all renders right?

[ornate stump]

Does it alreadt have chest bone assigned or did you just assigne?

[night nimbus]

i just did ^^

[ornate stump]

Apply and Done and solve the issue.

[night nimbus]

but if i understand correctly, the chest was "'optional"?

[ornate stump]

That's for Unity. VRChat is mandatory.

[night nimbus]

oOooo !

[junior void]

applying to all renders may or may not work but its woth looking at

also this helps

[night nimbus]

thanks a lot, i'll try a test uploard now

[junior void]

and your materials need this set

[lament tulip]

oh what dose always refresh do

[junior void]

otherwise it wont animate when locked, duh

always refresh will make animations smooth

[lament tulip]

oh so if i just go into that

[junior void]

if off, you might think it lags

[lament tulip]

i can maybe change it?

[junior void]

change what

[lament tulip]

like i have color 4 its all got matierals for 4 all green

i dont ever use green color so could i just change the matierals

and make it locked

animate when locked

and then theme 4 would be rainbow

[junior void]

you can do this on the green material, yes

[lament tulip]

maybe this is my old poiyomi

but look

[junior void]

so then you need the green one enabled and also the vrcf toggle

[lament tulip]

i dont have those options

[junior void]

right click any property

you want speed

hue shift speed

[lament tulip]

just says lock in property

sorry lock in children

[junior void]

then you need to update your poi

[lament tulip]

ooooooooook will do rn

hey u know how to update it fast and easy

like i know i have a bunch of diffren downloads

would it be better to remove pyomi old from my folders assets

and then close project and go into cc and add pyomi

or drag in a new one

[junior void]

easiest is through the vcc listing

[lament tulip]

yeah to get it in

[junior void]

https://www.poiyomi.com/general/upgrade/

[lament tulip]

should i just remove the old pyomi before downloading the new one

thats basically what im asking

or add new one then remove old one

i always have concerns

[junior void]

follow the makers instructions on that link

[lament tulip]

o

o easy

ok

that did it

you got it all working

i can handle everything from here

woo thank you so much!

there was a message about flickering and stuff should i do this reccomended thing should i do yes to that?

i think it was vrcfury

[junior void]

really up to you. if the maker of x addon gives you a popup with a recommendation, do you trust them or not?

[lament tulip]

aight fair point

everything is able for me to do it now though so

thank you you fully got me in a workable state il try to show u what it looks like when i rainbowfy it more because i stopped half way when i couldent fully rainbowfy lol

[junior void]

just keep in mind that vrcf cannot set the speed of hue shift on materials that dont have that property set as animated when lockend (also lock materials when done doing that) even if you set the vrcf toggle to apply to all renders

[lament tulip]

it dosent seem to effect everything

the belt works but nothing else is changeing

[junior void]

consider it may be the emission that is occluding the base color

[lament tulip]

i dont think so

heres the belt material that is rgb shifting
https://gyazo.com/f40cb9520f0bd07199af5d609e27cd11

and this one the bodysuit is not and others are not either
https://gyazo.com/d0ae51958c4e289674c3670f9f7ab200

[junior void]

remember that you have a material swap toggle in your avatar. maybe in the theme color material youre wearing right now, the property is not set as animated

[lament tulip]

hm

[junior void]

also i hope you know that outside of the toggle being active, the hue shift speed should be 0

[lament tulip]

how can i change the propertys of that maertial swap toggle

[junior void]

the toggle should set that property to the value u want

you find the material in your assets and do the same thing

now you need to start thinking logically

say you enable this for all materials, also the ones that are controlled by the material swap, you can go rainbow mode on all materials

do you actually want that or dou you want the rainbos thing to only go on when youre wearing x certain material

this is where you must make calls about the logic you want here

[lament tulip]

i just didnt care for the toggle for color 4

i can do a extra button it dosent bother me much to do that

i just am haavving a lot of trouble figuring this all out

i dont know how to propperly like do animations and im pretty sure fixing the animation and making theme4 just do something else then all green would be ideal but

idk how

[junior void]

you can technically remove all the keyframes from the animation and add your own things

but animation is a whole topic in itself and im not willing to type all that out sorry

[lament tulip]

i dont understand why my belt is added to toggles

and the belt works

but everything else dose not

its hue shifting

and doing at the rate i want while locked

see it works on belt

[junior void]

show the green material

not the default one, the green one

thats applied to the mesh you refer to

[lament tulip]

see how there are materials for each color

[junior void]

Yes im aware

So which one is the material that gets applied when you turn on the green toggle

[lament tulip]

belt 4 and bodsuit 4 and bra 4 and pants 4 and all that

[junior void]

its multiple, i know that. its the green bra one for the bra, the green belt one for the belt etc

ALL of them must have the animated when locked state

did you do that to all of them?

[lament tulip]

like even other colors?

like other theme colors?

or all green toggles?

[junior void]

again this is where you make a choice

[lament tulip]

il go through might have missed one

[junior void]

do you want the rainbo thing to work on ALL colors?

or JUST the green material

you make the choice right here

[lament tulip]

look this is all materials i went to each matieral here

and i made sure they all have is animated when locked

this

[junior void]

there is a possibility that the animations set up for your themes ALSO control the hue shift and now theyre clashing

it wouldnt mak much sense though seeing as the creator made materials for all of them so i dont see why theyd touch hue too

[lament tulip]

well each matieral

has a diffrent hue

so yea they did

and thats why i asked for help

cause its not like normal at fucking all

[junior void]

in that case i guess you gotta learn basic animation then

it looks ultra complex but only because there are like 20 materials to do the same thing for. so if you broke it down and changed one material property in the animation after the other, it is actually quite easy as its rinse and repeat

[lament tulip]

but you said you wont text that

[junior void]

correct, i wont. my husband comes home in 30 minutes on top of that and id like dinner ready for him

regardless, the vrcf toggle was worth a try. didnt work out, sorry about that

[lament tulip]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee thanks for guiding me

il get someone to help me with animations eventually

if u can and i still need help tomorrow and your not busy id love the assitance idk if u can remeber me that would be cool but otherwise i hope you have a great dinner

[balmy barn]

that seems like a bunch of matswaps, id avoid that and just change the material property instead

[junior void]

They have the matswaps set up and they work by default

They want to keep them BUT edit ONE mat of them to go rainbow instead

Theyd have to edit the animation for the green material which is what they dont really care for and wanna use the rainbow for

maybe you have a video handy for them but the animations are massive so its easily confusing

i bet the animation sets the hue at a specific value which is what wont let vrcf set the hue speed.

[woven pulsar]

@grim valleycan you let me know later today if you ever figured it out I have to go to work soon I appreciate your help :>

[lament tulip]

no i would like to edit the animation of the green one and i dont know how to do so

[junior void]

exactly what i said... but ok

[lament tulip]

oh i mis read i thought u said i didnt really care for editing the animation of the green material

so sorry much apoligies

[solar warren]

Where are those? I cant find them

[ornate stump]

In the import settings of your texture file.

[solar warren]

Wdym

[ornate stump]

Select your texture file and see in the inspector.

[solar warren]

What now? I dont see texture filter settings

[ornate stump]

It says "Filter Mode".

[solar warren]

I found it I think, it's called "Advanced" tho and "Non-Power of 2" is grayed out

[solar warren]

The "Default" thing?

I dont have a non power of 2 option there

[ornate stump]

Filter Mode

[solar warren]

I only got trilinear and point

Also mb I didn't see on your screenshot

Or my screen

OH

[ornate stump]

If your Non-Power of 2 is gray out that means your texture size already is the correct size.

Then you have to only set filter mode.

[solar warren]

I had to put filter mode to point

Thanks a lot

[balmy barn]

if you are working with low resolution stuff tips for it

320x160 so its super tiny and 2:1 wich works for unity (tile offset test av)

[cedar bear]

Guys, any help? 😅

Works in unity but does not work in game. i dont see why the coiling animation doesnt work

[solar warren]

How do I change the shader of a particle system?

[somber sequoia]

in the "Render" tab at the bottom

[balmy barn]

you arent animating head it behaves wierd it need tracking control

https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/state-behaviors/#animator-tracking-control - head to animation - whenever its ment to trigger

what happens if you dont set it vs one with it on

[severe tide]

heyyy im tryna import an avatar for the first time, it was a gift from a friend, and Im getting these issues now that im tryna build it,, dies anybody know what these mean and how to fix it?

[somber sequoia]

Look in the build console above where you clicked the "build and publish" button, probably there's something blocking there.

[severe tide]

it's just the thing saying 'avatar validation fail'

I can press it, it starts building, then it says it failed and says look at the console for more detail

but i dont understand what the console is saying at all

[somber sequoia]

it says nothing else in there at all? Feel free to paste the first few red items

[severe tide]

OH those ones

I have no shoulders, that's all

only red

[somber sequoia]

well that's a problem

[severe tide]

it says i dont need it for the humanoid rig though

[somber sequoia]

unity may say so, but VRChat requires them

[severe tide]

i see

thank you

[somber sequoia]

Also the chest bone

[severe tide]

this was a gift from a friend so, i have no clue when ill be able to fix that 😓

oh i did fix the chest bone thing tho

[cedar bear]

Kinda worked. but now it only works when im actively walking like the first pic. secondpic is when i stop

[random prawn]

hey i need help i cant import my vrm avatar into unity it gives me an error when i try to do so

[balmy barn]

converting to fbx? do the blender route , univrm leaves a mess

[random prawn]

hey ( update ) I fixed the problem but i'll bear that in mind

[ripe flax]

So I want to put a body model material on a avatar but when I do the model doesn't change, think im doing smth wrong in unity :o would like some insight ^-^ i know where to go and stuff but the material on the selected model won't change

[junior void]

Show us how you're changing the material?

[ripe flax]

Ye will do im on a bus rn so will be home around 12 pm cst ^-^

I select the avatar through high light, I go into the inspector tab and press the "select" rig menu then I go into the tab labeled material and select the textures I want it works on the base but the avatar doesn't get altered

I'll give images soon but hope thr step by step is somewhat understandable

[junior void]

'it works on the base but the avatar doesn't get altered'?

So you're going through the import settings I guess

[ripe flax]

Uh, maybe? I'll have to go look lol

[junior void]

I can only imagine here that your avatar in scene is unpacked so editing the default materials in the import settings no longer affect the Avi in scene due to unpacking breaking the connection between fbx in assets and model in scene

[ripe flax]

Oh the avatar itself is unpacked the base is a kitbash so it is separate from the avatar itself if I remember right I got it to work but ill have to look

[junior void]

In that case I'm not surprised at all

You will have to assign materials on the foldout called 'materials' on each mesh

[olive pelican]

Advanced Technical Question.
Anyone have a guide or some basic tips on making disporpotionate models work with FBT more reliably? I have FinalIK, and am not afraid of ghostbones or other weird rig stuff, but I wanted to pick the collective brain instead of soloing that shit.

[somber sequoia]

If you do update the materials in model file itself, make sure you haven't overridden them in the mesh renderer objects in the scene. Also that you didn't unpack the model prefab in scene.

[somber sequoia]

no guide, no real tips, but I've done a bit of this

[olive pelican]

In my example, I'm dealing with gorilla AF arms, and stubby leggies.

Making a psycho Warrior from Space King

[solar warren]

Is there any way to make an object slowly follow the player behind?

I wanna make a minecart that follows behind me

[gaunt knoll]

You can use vrclabs follower package

[solar warren]

Thanks

[solar warren]

Can you make it stay on the ground?

[olive pelican]

Yes.

[solar warren]

Or is it obligated to float

[solar warren]

Nice

Thanks

[grim valley]

will do, i fell asleep last night and im at work. off at 8pm

[cedar bear]

still couldnt figure it out lol, anyone has any idea?

This is the tracking control for both the coil and uncoil states

[woven pulsar]

Sounds good

[gaunt knoll]

kazin

[inland seal]

I'm getting this error again, it happens when I go to test the avatar and I suppose it's from the Poiyomi shader, I did fix it before but now it's back again and old way of fixing doesn't help anymore

[olive pelican]

Idle might be the problem.

[cedar bear]

hm

[olive pelican]

You want it to coil when you're sitting still?

[cedar bear]

nono its a toggle

which makes the avatar coil

but it only makes it in the correct pose while hes actively moving

and turns completely sideways when i stop

[olive pelican]

Hm.

[cedar bear]

the pose is still correct but just

turned 90°

head still seems to be in the correct position

at first i thought it was something with the hip bone but i already selected it as controlled by the animation

[woven pulsar]

Copy 👍

[cedar bear]

also same toggle works fine when done through VRCFury but it flickers for a single frame on the transition off the coiling animation

im convinced VRCFury is some unbreakable quest compatible black magic or something

[fleet zephyr]

Hello, guys! I was wondering if you could help me with something-- Since yesterday, I haven't been able to upload avatars that I've made for my clients, I keep getting these error messages in every model:

[UPDATE: One model works now, but one is still having the issue in the pictures]

[fleet zephyr]

Now both work! I did not do any change, but now both are uploaded successfully

[lilac musk]

Gesture layer is gone? I remember a bug like this before, but I don't remember how to fix it.

oh, might be because of my humanoid setup. Lookin' into it

[somber sequoia]

Yep, non-humanoid get no gesture/additive layers

[regal charm]

just discovered this channel exists in browse channels i will C&P it here aswell 😭

Hi there I'm new to creating vrchat avatars & unity I tried uploading my vroid model to unity and watching tutorials but it seems whenever I try to attempt it I have a folder missing in assets..

I have downloaded the SDK and packages:
VRM Converter for vrchat
VRCFury (since I want to try and add gogo loco to my avatar)

I don't know what I am doing wrong

My unity version is 2022.3.22f1
Using the 2022 Avatar project and etc

the yt vid above mine below

[somber sequoia]

that top image is so blurry I can't see what you're indicating?

[regal charm]

its a yt video im following :/

https://youtu.be/KVIioTvN6Ig?t=187

[somber sequoia]

oh I got that, but I don't know what in that image we're supposed to be looking at

[regal charm]

2nd one

[somber sequoia]

since it's too blurry to read

[vivid temple]

"XR"

[somber sequoia]

you said there's a folder missing? which folder?

[vivid temple]

They say this folder is missing

[regal charm]

idk what im doing wrong and im very new to avatar creation ~& unity so sorry if im not good at explaining things 😭

[vivid temple]

Granted, I've never seen this folder prepopulated in my projects so it's probably fine

[somber sequoia]

that folder isn't something you should be caring about - why do you?

[vivid temple]

Anyone here mind holding my hand through this VRCFury Full Controller problem? I feel like I'm losing my mind as to why this blasted component isn't working. I feel like I just set up something wrong but the docs don't exactly contain a tonne of detail

[regal charm]

as ssaid im new and have no clue of how to upload a vroid character to unity properly

[somber sequoia]

if you haven't checked, there is a VRCFury discord, linked on their website

[vivid temple]

oh, ta

[somber sequoia]

Right, I get that, but I'm trying to figure out where you're stuck

[regal charm]

uploading my vroid charcter

[somber sequoia]

...

I guess I have no idea what to tell you.

[regal charm]

the file is there but in the video it shows everything going automaticaslly..

[somber sequoia]

"the file"?

[regal charm]

thats the part i dont get how it works :/

[regal charm]

my vrm file

this is the file thats sitting in assets

[vivid temple]

in the video the person presenting shows how to import their VRM file. did you follow along?

[regal charm]

yes

i got a different result

[somber sequoia]

Really trying to be helpful here, but you really need to explain exactly what you are trying to do and what about it isn't working. Just saying you're trying to setup your avatar doesn't give us much of a hint as to where you are in the process and what to suggest next.

(I'd also suggest converting the .vrm to .fbx with blender instead of doing this in Unity, but I'm told this works for some)

[regal charm]

in the video it showed me how to setup the unity project which i followed along exactly then it told me to drop my vroid vrm fiole into assets

[somber sequoia]

and did you do that?

[regal charm]

then theres generates a load of random stuff and i tried the same and mine did nothing

[regal charm]

yes

it didnt do the same thing as presented in the video

[somber sequoia]

ok that's at least somewhat more clear, thanks for explaining.

[regal charm]

i thought i did something wrong and tried like a different tutorial before that and same thing happened i think i might just be unlucky..

[somber sequoia]

I'm sure luck has very little to do with this

[regal charm]

it happens to me when i try and do anything on computers in general and i dont want to give in and buy stuff 🥲

wait i removed vrfury and now it loads the xr file???

im just dumb probs..

[somber sequoia]

that XR directory is generated, and really isn't something you should care about at all

[regal charm]

ok i tried dropping file again but nothing happens as usual..

uhhh

uhh update i tried uploading it again now i have this issue

[somber sequoia]

is there a discord for that converter tool? Or a help forum?

[regal charm]

🤷‍♀️ i have no clue i can have a lo9ok ig

uhhh

im screwed?

do you recommend any tutorials for what to do now?

since i dont understand japanese..

[somber sequoia]

I've never used these tools, no idea.
my thoughts are here: #avatar-help message

[regal charm]

ok what plugins do i need for blende to do that T-T

[somber sequoia]

I forget the exact name, but the last time I went looking it was pretty obivious

(it wasn't recent, I don't really do vrm stuff)

[regal charm]

okii i will try if it doesnt work ima just cry and watch movies in vrc..

[regal charm]

im only doing vroid because i never learnt blender yet

[latent shadow]

Im officially coming to the server, does anybody know how to do blend trees?

[somber sequoia]

blend trees are great

[latent shadow]

i have no idea how to do em

do you per chance?

[lilac musk]

I'm sure a few people do

[sage apex]

how do i get my avatar to compress size? ive deleted a bunch of things on the avi and its still over the size

[latent shadow]

compress your fbx

and lower ur textures

[lilac musk]

Change the texture sizes for sure

[balmy barn]

remove large dance animations, not used blendshapes , audio/music they can get very big , terrible avatar if you manage to reach that high

[latent shadow]

I hope so man cuz i need to have it done by tmr

[balmy barn]

vrm > blender > unity way (blender 5 should work too i'll stick on lts for awhile cause im 99% sure some of my script will hate it) - #avatar-general message

univrm last thing id recommend for converting it will leave a very big mess

extra fun if you are doing it for quest, vrm loves to use cutouts alot (quest shaders cannot)

[wanton pulsar]

how do i get these to look like the photo at the end. i know i have to like merge them i think idk but i need help

[latent shadow]

If anything, i'd texture them

[wanton pulsar]

wdym by texture? like re do them?

[latent shadow]

So when you merge them, and don't quote me, but take the textures from the last avatar and then smack them onto the avatar after everythings been merged

I believe anyways, i've never merged

[wanton pulsar]

i’m trying to figure out if there’s even a way to merge them

[latent shadow]

do it in blender, it's probably you're best bet

[wanton pulsar]

hmm, might be on to something..

[latent shadow]

I just need help with blend trees cuz so help me god, i cannot read and do.

[latent shadow]

quite possibly

[wanton pulsar]

oh lord don’t get me started on that.

😭

[latent shadow]

Wowwww

That's insane

anyways

wait yk how to do those?

[wanton pulsar]

absolutely

not

[latent shadow]

why did i even ask

[balmy barn]

simple toggle blendtree exsample , every one of those have off <> on animation , once you figure out the simple ones rest shouldnt be too hard

[latent shadow]

my issue is i cant right click on the animator and when i do, it doesnt give me the create from blend tree option

[wanton pulsar]

i’m in blender i’m trying to see if i can just slap them on there together doesn’t look like i’m cooking rn

[latent shadow]

lmaoo

[balmy barn]

could just be normal map for that picture in the end

dont use phone for taking screenshots its very hard to see

win + shift + s

[wanton pulsar]

lol mb one sec

oops wrong reply

[latent shadow]

wait so do i have to create my toggles first before i do my material swap blend tree thingy?

[balmy barn]

can add the toggles then add the animations to it later

blendtrees are pretty fast since you dont need to setup transitions

[wanton pulsar]

nope it’s not, i was inspecting it making sure i wasn’t tripping and you need to put them together somehow, cause the small lines you see in the last photo is from the gray suit thingy and so on so forth

[latent shadow]

can i show you what's happening?

[balmy barn]

its says normal , wich is a normal map many materials have a slot for it and that color screams normal map

[latent shadow]

This is what i'm getting and im so lost.

[wanton pulsar]

dang 😭, so how do i fix it sorry i might be a lil slow

[balmy barn]

the normal texture for the avatar goes in albedo

[balmy barn]

create a layer first , you have none

i tend to avoid the first one, stations like to do wierd things to the first 3

[latent shadow]

so click that?

[wanton pulsar]

it worked thanks 😭😭

also quick question what’s the best shader for quest

i just started all this vrchat avatar thing

[graceful latch]

hi hi!! im trying to record a toggle video, but my radial toggles (hue and such) are updating very slowly for the person not wearing the avatar. so instead of showing the smooth rainbow slider it'll only show a new color every second. anyone know how to fix this?

[fervent spear]

hey guys for some reason whenever i apply all transforms to my armature in blender, the bone roll automatically gets set to a number that isnt 0

although it is a very small number im still not sure if it matters or not?

[royal bloom]

so uhm

i kinda need help

[somber sequoia]

Yes - that's why I replied.

[somber sequoia]

honestly, ditch like 3/4 of the stuff on there, I wouldn't go over 100MB personally.

[somber sequoia]

look here first: https://vrc.school/docs/Other/DBT-Combining/

[somber sequoia]

... with?

[royal bloom]

trying to add the textures to the model

it's a blend model that i exported to fbx

[regal charm]

uhh i have vrfury and done the avatar what do i do to b e able to upload it to android..? 😅

[royal bloom]

got the textures, everything

[somber sequoia]

textures go into materials, materials go into material slots on mesh renderers. Many tutorials go over this - where are you stuck?

[regal charm]

android is greyed out :/

[royal bloom]

mostly everything

[somber sequoia]

install android build tools

(I have the link somewhere, hang on a sec)

[regal charm]

😭 my storage go bye bye

[somber sequoia]

https://creators.vrchat.com/platforms/android/setting-up-unity-for-creating-quest-content

[somber sequoia]

I'm not sure why you are sharing this?

[regal charm]

i had 120gb before starting all of this T-T

[reef trout]

does anyone have the toggle wheel creater tool?

[sinful obsidian]

been mulling over an idea for a few days and i'm curious if custom code can be given to an avatar, or if there's an easier way to do my idea

[somber sequoia]

no "code" on avatars

[sinful obsidian]

ah damn

i plan to have a togglable feature but i think it'd be cool if it were toggled by doing a specific gesture three times in a row

[somber sequoia]

that's doable though

[night ember]

you can already do that in animator logic?

[sinful obsidian]

ooo

i haven't played with gestures in a minute so wasn't sure

[somber sequoia]

A friend of mine has a number of two-gesture actions on her avatar

[night ember]

gestures are just a parameter for each hand

[sinful obsidian]

yeahh

[sinful obsidian]

that's cool

awesome

has anyone tried making removable limbs before?

using grabbable physbones

[somber sequoia]

physbone is one way, just contacts is another

[fathom mountain]

hey could anyone help my friend again with an avatar? shes almost done with it, just has one thing she needs help with

[somber sequoia]

Ask specific questions. Ideally get your friend in here so they can do it.

[regal charm]

im stuck..

on step 3

[somber sequoia]

oh - not the right link, hang ong

oh yes - ok so how did you install the editor?

if you do it via unity hub or vcc you get the ability to add packages

[ruby basin]

okay, im here, my hair wont attach to my avatars head so when i move it doesnt move with me. ive tried almost eveything to try and get it to work. im thinking i maybe messed up somewhere along the way(???)

[regal charm]

i did it through vcc app

[ruby basin]

tysmmm

[somber sequoia]

I though that should work but I don't use vcc so dunno. I install unity via the hub and then there's the options to add packages

[somber sequoia]

explain how you added the hair

[ruby basin]

imported the fbx file, did all the basic lining it up and what not

[somber sequoia]

how very detailed.

[ruby basin]

??

[somber sequoia]

I mean, I have no idea what you are doing since you didn't explain.

[ruby basin]

im trying to parent the hair to the head/body (???)

[fathom mountain]

theres no need to be like that. theres a nicer way to ask for more deatils.

[somber sequoia]

I already asked for details though.

[fathom mountain]

she said she lined it up how she wants it so explain how to attach.

[somber sequoia]

that doesn't explain what they were doing, that was vague and not detailed.

[spiral jay]

How do I find his neck???? I’m making a custom texture but like his neck is just not giving. I mean I’m gonna black it out because of the neck tat he’s suppose to have but I can’t exactly pinpoint where his neck is on the template

[ruby basin]

there is nothing more to explain ?? i explained what i needed haha...just nvm thanks anyways!! 😊

[somber sequoia]

"all the basic lining it up" - what does this mean?

[spiral jay]

Connect it by parenting the hair root the head bone

[ruby basin]

this is the answer i was looking for thank you

[somber sequoia]

Right - no mention of where in the hierarchy the objects are, if any action was taken to "attach", if any package like VRCFury was used, etc.

[fathom mountain]

placed the hair on the head where she wished it and it wont attach?

[spiral jay]

Welcome bookie

[somber sequoia]

see, that was what wasn't clear

[ruby basin]

may i message you for a bit more help??

[spiral jay]

Yuppers

[somber sequoia]

open the dropdowns for each material, see what's in there

[lament tulip]

they are open

[somber sequoia]

in that image they are not

[lament tulip]

then idk how

[somber sequoia]

wait, those arrows are pointing down

[lament tulip]

arrow is pointing down

[somber sequoia]

I'd hit the record button and then go change the properties you want to animate, it'll put them in there automatically.

[lament tulip]

but also in materials

it has materials for each color like theirs 4 5 3 etc

and each one is like red yellow pink green

and 4 is green

and so do i go to materials and change the material how do i do that

while recording

or do i go to the body part and go to the textures

and change the hue slider like for main while reccording

this is the step im stuck on

[somber sequoia]

you go to the body part, then the material on that mesh renderer, and change the properties you want there.

while recording

[lament tulip]

ok when im in theme green animation it dose not let me click reccord either idk its grayed out

id like to think i have to be focused on something but i dont know what to record

[somber sequoia]

you have to have clicked on your avatar first

[lament tulip]

yeah when i do the animation is gone then

[somber sequoia]

then that animation is not already on the animator in your avatar's Animator slot

[somber sequoia]

it must be

[lament tulip]

im confused

its a animation clip

would it be better if i shared my screen to you and you guided me through like that?

[somber sequoia]

in order to record things though, that clip must be in an animation controller, and that controller must be in your avatar's "Animator" component, which is on the root.

[lament tulip]

are we talking about this stuff?

or in armature

[somber sequoia]

if you mean the list of animation controllers, sure

[lament tulip]

im still very confused

how do i edit this green theme animation clip

[somber sequoia]

depends on what you mean by "edit"

[lament tulip]

well as it currently looks like its changing to a hue color of my regular colors i want to change it so each of these materials are checkmarked hue shift and have animate when locked instead of hue .4 and thats it cause thats what im dealing with

maybe add a behavour to this toggle?

[somber sequoia]

hey that's a very interesting animator you have there

[lament tulip]

its extremly old

[somber sequoia]

it seems to have a specific... pattern in the layout.

Commonly found in ripped avatars.

So that's interesting.

[lament tulip]

well i got gaven it so i have no idea abou that

[somber sequoia]

I see.

[lament tulip]

its from 2018 lol

unity

[gilded canopy]

Does anyone happen to have any idea what causes avatar arms to move on their own in PC? Let's say I'm standing in an idle pose, and the avatar's arms are slightly jittering left, right, etc. It's terribly noticeable when playing on PC. I don't know if it's something with Gogoloco, or what. Some avatars just don't have this issue

[rich cypress]

Hey im trying to make a avatar have a prop that grabs, and when it gets let go it stays in position

does anybody know how i could do this?

so far ive only been able to make it grabbable with phys bones but it rotates off the parent, so it doesnt "freely move"

i would think maybe if i somehow make it a child of the parent and have it stretch and position off the child, then it may work. but i have no idea how to do that.

[lament tulip]

can anyone help me make these materials in my theme green change to hue shift and stuff like enabled on the right when in play mode they are just green and idk why or how to make it do hue shift

[somber sequoia]

wow what shader is that

looks really old

[lament tulip]

its just pyomi

poiyomi 7.3

[somber sequoia]

ahhh

[rich cypress]

is an animator on your avatar rn

and in the animator is it the same animation that youre looking at rn?

animator controller*

[lament tulip]

this is a animationclip

uhm let me see

yes

[rich cypress]

take off the animator controller from ur avatar

and look at it again

[lament tulip]

so take it off the fx lare?

lair

[rich cypress]

if thats in ur "animator controller" then yes

[lament tulip]

ok yea

[lament tulip]

this is where is ee animator controller

[rich cypress]

i mean on ur base avatar

[lament tulip]

is that what ur looking for in the inspector

of the base avatar

yes in the animator

icontroller

yes this is it

[lament tulip]

yeah i se that now

i went to there

so remove that

[rich cypress]

yes

nothing should ever be there unless youre animating something

[lament tulip]

should i not worry about the below fx

[rich cypress]

no

[lament tulip]

oh

weird

ok

[somber sequoia]

as far as I can tell, it doesn't actually matter

[lament tulip]

ok i took that off

[rich cypress]

vuxilla tell me if its fixed now

look at the animation

[lament tulip]

ok il test

[night ember]

it doesnt get uploaded with the avatar so you can have literally anything in it

[rich cypress]

it matters if youre editing an animation based off the avatar in unity

[lament tulip]

it still is green fully

besides my belt

some reason my belt since the begining has been able to be hue shifted

[rich cypress]

then in ur animation

it is changing the hue

how are you exactly looking at the animation

just clicking on it?

[lament tulip]

i got to it another way earlier but yeah im looking at it in the animation tab

[somber sequoia]

Exactly

[rich cypress]

outside of play mode you said it isnt green?

[lament tulip]

if i unlock it i can make it do hue shift

[rich cypress]

unlock poi?

[lament tulip]

yeah

[rich cypress]

is it green outside of play mode

[night ember]

I just leave the fx layer there so I can edit the animations

[somber sequoia]

I forget what's in most of mine, but yeah usually it's FX, occasionally gesture

[lament tulip]

my avatar is yellow originally it uses hue shift and stuff to make the colors yellow go to white,blue,green,pink,purple and i want to change green to check hue shift and it still is green when in play mode switching to theme 4 but the belt is rgb

[rich cypress]

oh do you not have to make a new animator controller to edit animations anymore? in sdk 2 you did but i never tried editing straight off fx layer in sdk 3

[rich cypress]

i might be misunderstanding, does it turn green in the scene or animation tab (after play mode ofc)

[lament tulip]

can i show you in share screen?

i can swap around stuff a lot faster

[rich cypress]

yea

[lament tulip]

want to dm call?

[rich cypress]

sure

[lament tulip]

i dont even think this discord has voice calls

[rich cypress]

nope

[somber sequoia]

you never had to make a new one

[woven pulsar]

anyone know how to fix this

everything is mapped

and specified

[dire heart]

Is there any way to force an afk animation? Or make the afk a toggle? I really like the animation the avi I have has but I can't take a picture with it because of its well, afk only

[naive mulch]

Is anyone having issues on avatar pov breaking after being uploaded/update?

[somber sequoia]

Look for errors in the Rig tab in the inspector for the model file.

[somber sequoia]

sorry, that was for you, missed the reply button

[woven pulsar]

ah ok

[somber sequoia]

not what I meant, please re-read

[woven pulsar]

you mean this

[somber sequoia]

I do mean that! It doesn't show any major errors, just warnings though.

often you'll see an error message there

[rich cypress]

make sure you unmap eyes and jaw if you want eye tracking and visemes

[reef trout]

does anyone have the toggle wheel creater tool?

[rich cypress]

to animate on sdk 2 you had to

sdk 2's animator controller was literally the fx layer, and if you edited on it, it would sometimes make it stuck in a "crouching" pose

the same crouching pose you see now when editing an animation, its from the rigging

do you edit on a duplicate of your avatar?

[woven pulsar]

would you be able to take a look at the file and see if you could fix it

this has literally been 2 days of getting nowhere

[somber sequoia]

never

[rich cypress]

click on strip bones

apply

[woven pulsar]

ok I did that just now

[rich cypress]

fixed?

[woven pulsar]

nope

ugh this is frustraiting

[reef trout]

anyone know what the issue is

[somber sequoia]

are you in play mode? don't be.

[woven pulsar]

@grim valley have you gotten a chance to take a look at it?

[reef trout]

im not

i can call to show

[rich cypress]

i threw it in unity and applied humanoid rig and it fixed immediately

you might have to just delete it all and redo it

only thing i can think of is you unassigned or misassigned those bones in rig

[woven pulsar]

wait could you download the file so I can see it

or show screenshots

[reef trout]

can someone send me the easy toggle wheel?

[stray trench]

anyone know an asset I could use for an avatar that I could use in place of poker chips? something that spawns a bunch of movable small objects

[dire heart]

is there a way to make the afk toggle in the gogoloco menu the custom afk animation? The regular afk works, but the button does the gogoloco one :/

[reef trout]

does anyone know how to fix the materials

[teal laurel]

Select the shader again

[reef trout]

this is what is shows

[teal laurel]

Yes, select the shader the material should use

What shader did it use before?

[reef trout]

could you call me in dms and help me with this

[teal laurel]

No

[lilac musk]

Yea those are shaders (Or folders/paths to even more shaders). I'd just select the shader you'd want. If you don't know what to use, you can look up what your model is intended to use, then import and select that. Or you can just select something like "Standard" to give the basic shader.

[reef trout]

could you call to help me

[teal laurel]

If on mobile, look for Toon Standard.
If you are on pc, it could be Poiyomi or Lil Toon, which you have to download and install beforehand

Those are what i use for my projects

[lilac musk]

No, If you keep the conversation here, more people can see it and potentially help. DMs/Calls aren't as useful

[teal laurel]

Wherever you bought the avatar from should usually tell you what shaders are needed

Check there and see what they say and then select or install the right one

[reef trout]

can someone help me find a easy toggle tool

[teal laurel]

What do you mean by that?

If you want a simple way to create toggles for your avatar then Modular Avatar or VRCFury are good things to look in-to. I recommend watching tutorials on how to use them.

[reef trout]

i cant make toggles is there a tool to make it easyier

[lilac musk]

VRCFury

It'll make things much easier, but still have to learn how it works.

[stray trench]

show us the avatar

im assuming youre needing help with it being too short

[stray trench]

its much more confusing for us if you send a cropped screenshot

can you just take a normal screenshot without cropping it

it looks like your avatar is laying flat on the ground instead of standing up

but i cant tell lol
