im crashing out, i changed the rocknroll gesture and everytime i test the avatar it just goes back to the deafult one, why does it work 😭

balmy barn
#

what is the name of the animation, if its still a proxy_ vrchat takes over

opaque thicket
#

it is

#

how do i change that

balmy barn
#

duplicate it and name it anything but vrchat defaults

opaque thicket
#

kk

#

thanks

opaque thicket
#

anyone know why is this guy stuck in the animation pose and how do i fix this?

as said the sound is not the problem because is absent, i will provide for the sound trough my mic

somber sequoia
#

oh I missed that, got it.

#

this ought to be pretty easy to setup then.

#

other than repeating 88 times

#

yeah, for now im trying to follow your advice regarding the bones, so im returned on blender and following a guide from claude so i can try to do this, idk if it will end well but if i dont try i will never know

somber sequoia
#

I would not trust claude to provide you useful advice.

if you are mainly here mostly of the time yeah is not a big deal, but if i have to go and i return idk the next day and i have idk like thousand of messages unread, even if i try to reach my last message, discord doesnt allow me because of too many messages, thats why i prefer to have assistance in private.

somber sequoia
#

fair enough.

#

I suspect you could probably get the private help, but it may not be free.

#

oke the rig is working again, but my body mesh is screwed up.

balmy barn
#

its unpacked or you exported with different settings

i exported with cats

somber sequoia
#

Still, it seems you exported with different settings than were previously used.

I'm making my first ever humanoid based of Phil Gallagher - the actor for Mister Maker

I will need to help on clothing, texturing, etc.

Can anyone help?

somber sequoia
#

You'll need to be much more specific as to what you need help with.

spark walrus
#

I've already got a base and rigging done.
I'll need help on the clothing (physics, texturing) and toggles.

somber sequoia
#

well this is the place to ask specific questions on those topics.

I need help with emission syncing here is a picture but i don’t think it going to help very much

the crystals on the shoulder I want them to be the same color as the active emission

I don’t know how to sync them btw I am working on a model I had bought and it already has a emission wheel I’m just trying to figure out how to sync up the crystals to the color wheel please dm me if you know

Hi everyone. I'm developing an avatar with a custom shader (built in shader graph, converted to normal shader code). When testing the avatar, a friend said that the custom shader was rendering differently in each eye, causing an effect where the mesh the shader was applied to was appearing in different spots in different eyes. Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be massively appreciated!

somber sequoia
silver atlas
somber sequoia
#

You could adapt the generated code yourself if you want

silver atlas
#

Idk why I asked that, it's probably much easier to just use the fork on the original shader graph. Thanks so much!

somber sequoia
#

it's pretty easy

silver atlas
#

oh yeah the instructions look like super easy. you're a life saver

#

friends are hosting a game night tonight and id rather not give them all headaches with double rendering

somber sequoia
#

yeah that would suck 🙂

analog fog
somber sequoia
#

Via animation? You could animate doing that to both objects that way then. Or just animate the color properties directly.

analog fog
#

I’ll try that and see how it goes

livid birch
#

Is there a way to hide/remove avatar limbs? I got a tail replacement for the Novabeast base and I can't figure out how to hide the original tail

somber sequoia
#

Sure, I'd suggest doing it in Blender

livid birch
#

Are there any alternatives or do I have to use Blender?

somber sequoia
#

Sure, you could use expensive things like Maya. But unless the object you want to remove is a separate object already, you'll need to deal with it in a 3D modeling program, such as blender.

livid birch
#

Alright fair enough

#

Thanks

#

imported an fbx into unity and i get this error thats preventing my avatar from being marked as humanoid, anyone know a fix?

#

What's in the hips slot in the rig setup?

junior void
#

Check the rig config yea

lone shoal
#

wdym

somber sequoia
#

in that window, click "configure" and look at which bone is in the hips slot

#

make sure it's actually the correct bone

lone shoal
#

oh its randomly empty

somber sequoia
#

that'll be a problem

lone shoal
#

lemme just put my bone in there lol

somber sequoia
#

verify there's no jawbone mapped while you're in there, unless you use that

lone shoal
#

ah i see, with my rig setup my hip bone actually points down and the spin is detatched from it

somber sequoia
#

yeah it should be pointing up for vrchat

lone shoal
#

k thx

#

well i flipped the hips bone and uhhhh

image.png
somber sequoia
#

well it's not in t-pose

lone shoal
#

ok i fixed it, issue was one of my meshes was also called 'hips' so it was having issues because that shared the name with a bone

#

renaming it to waist worked

somber sequoia
#

ah yes, that thing

lone shoal
#

ok fsr my avatar seems to be scaled around my eye position? no matter how big i make the model, whatever i set the eye height to be is considered to be 5m above the ground and everything else is scaled around that value (if i set the model's to be as tall as the eye height the model is 5m tall, if i set the model smaller its shorter than 5m, etc.) - how do i fix this?

somber sequoia
#

where's the avatar's origin point? It should be at the world origin (0,0,0) with the avatar standing on that spot, and all transforms applied

lone shoal
#

its at 0,0,0

#

well i solved the problem

cyan heron

#

i was using my test avatar that i upload all my WIP avis to before i make them separately, the last avatar i made was 5m tall and i forgot to rescale

what would be the best method to animate faces? as in have an animation on the face that swap between drawings like a frame by frame

tough marsh
livid birch
#

But now I want to replace an existing prefab model with my new tailless model

#

Is there a good way to do that?

#

In such a way that it keeps all the properties of the existing project, just without the tail?

balmy barn
#

use that for detecting

#

pc caaan use decals for this but its pretty annoying to uv shift one , but then you can do the entire av with 1 material ratl

Hey there! I'm wanting to make a toggle similar to an emote. Where it plays the animation to the end, then disables the toggle. However, I originally thought I could do it through VRCFury and got told "not possible with vrcf alone. you'd have to make your own controller."

So... How do I make an emote and audio source play with a toggle, then at the end of the animation clip, disable the toggle?

somber sequoia
somber sequoia
# livid birch Is there a good way to do that?

You export the FBX from blender, overwriting the one that's in your project, using the same export settings as were previously used.
Generally that's just setting "Apply Scalings" to FBX All in the export dialog - but check on this one, I've heard Novas use some other value for that normally.

thorny marsh
#

This is a fresh SDK 3 avi. We don't have like- Any custom layers except for a slightly modified default Base layer for the idle animation

#

Idk how to do this- x3

somber sequoia
#

there are lots of tutorials on how to use the animator

thorny marsh
somber sequoia
#

sure

thorny marsh
#

Oh, I see! Has Exit Time

somber sequoia
#

enter -> wait for parameter change -> do your thing -> turn stuff off -> exit

thorny marsh
#

So...

#

It seems I cannot change VRCEmote >w>;

#

It stays at the value 0

#

If edited in GestureManager, it seems to work.

somber sequoia
#

you can certainly do it without fury involved

#

also that's usually an int, not a float.

#

not really a avatar problem but more a unity/goco loco problem so I'm trying to add my goco loco onto unity but it keeps saying couldn't decompress package what do I do?😭

turbid elm
#

if I have an avatar uploaded, then I re-open the same project in VCC, then make some changes, and upload, will it override the 1st upload or upload as a 2nd avatar?

brave eagle
#

if not it should just upload at a 2nd avatar

turbid elm
#

mmmm yeah I'm trying to avoid that as I want to practice making changes without fucking up the one I already have uploaded XD

brave eagle
#

idk then lol

turbid elm
#

No worries, I'll just wait til someone a bit more familiar answers. I can't find anything in vrc school about this.

If the pipeline is blank, it will upload to a whole new Avatar. If it has an ID in the pipeline, it'll upload to that Avatar ID.

Is there any good communities / discords for learning Unity things as it pertains to vrchat avatars??
Looks like there was one back in the day called Pups blender and Unity school but they have taken the links down & removed all of their youtube tutorials if they had any

junior void
#

theres vrc school website

turbid elm
# junior void theres vrc school website

Yeahh I've trawled as much info as my noggin can contain before I need to put some of it to use. I'm trying to get started now. My first goal is to learn how the assets are put together on an existing model, so I can strip it down and optimize it, and maybe add something myself.

junior void
#

i started exactly like that 3 years ago lol

turbid elm
#

Right now I'm looking for how to edit the gesture wheel to remove something. I've read the entire Expressions Menu & Parameters page, but it unfortunately doesn't help me with this goal

turbid elm
junior void
#

it depends on how the base is set up

#

some avatars use "vanilla" vrc, some use modular avatar, others resort to vrcfury

#

all three are options to create menu items

turbid elm
#

It's VRCFury with Egirl body base

junior void
#

then its likely a toggle component on whatever it controls (prop or root or on an empty object on the avatar)

turbid elm
#

Okayyy so I should look through the Inspector tab at all the objects in the Hierarchy, looking for a Component that contains the text for the particular Gesture toggle that displays in the wheel?

junior void
#

that would be a good start

#

idk what the toggle is so its hard to give advice for this specific case

turbid elm
#

It's just a blank toggle that contains a string/link to a webstore

junior void
#

i assume for/from the base

#

then its somewhere on the avatar. but again, it could be vanilla even though the project uses vrcf

#

you can try to disable vrcf and enter play mode to see if it disappears when vrcf doesnt work

wicked fulcrum
#

anyone know what this could be

image.png image.png image.png image.png
#

keep getting errors when i upload my avatar

#

wont let me publish it

#

no idea what they are or mean

junior void
#

you dont need to look at the stacktrace (long foldout text)

#

the most important ones will be the first 2-5 ones at the very top. never look at the bottom first

wicked fulcrum
#

heres these i guess

#

no idea whats causing it

#

one thing to note is i am using the spider IK its my first time using it so maybe thats doing something ?

junior void
#

ive never heard of that before

wicked fulcrum
#

its a thing for spider like beings that makes them have spider like movement for the legs

junior void
#

are you sure it is an allowed package? vrc is pretty particular about that

wicked fulcrum
#

it is

#

theres many avatars that use it

junior void
#

no idea then

turbid elm
#

Like I've deleted the FaceTracking SubMenu option, then I go into play mode to verify, and it's gone, then I changed another SubMenu layout, went back into play mode to check that, and the FaceTracking SubMenu option has returned.

#

Also the other SubMenu layout thing I changed inbetween has also reverted to what it was originally

junior void
#

Are you using an old sdk version? I remember there was a bug that did exactly that, reset stuff

turbid elm
junior void
#

Seems fine. Are you editing the prefab maybe?

turbid elm
#

Yeah when I select the avatars object under the prefab, then double click this:

#

It auto selects the prefab itself

#

But that's how I've discovered where the Expressions Menu is, is there a different way I should be accessing the Expressions Menu?

junior void
#

This looks like you're editing it while in play mode

#

Vrcfury makes up the menu when you press play. It creates a clone and slaps it's content on the runtime clone

#

It's discarded as you exit play mode

#

You must find the object adding the face tracking on your Avi hierarchy and remove it there

turbid elm
#

I see. Well... I'm back in, (edit mode?) and I can see the Expressions Menu is missing things I didn't touch in play mode... So those things that are missing are the things VRCFury is adding that I only see in play mode?

turbid elm
junior void
#

A picture of your hierarchy might help me point you to the right thing. I'm fishing blind here

turbid elm
somber sequoia
#

you could blur them of course.

turbid elm
#

Not a bad idea

#

There was an Object in here called like, VRCFT {Missing something with GUID:} but I deleted that as that was my first assumption is that that is what would be creating this Face Tracking Expressions Menu SubMenu that I am trying to track down, however that FaceTracking SubMenu is still being created when I enter play mode

somber sequoia
#

wow that's a lot of object that are likely mesh renderers.

turbid elm
#

They are a bunch of clothing toggles which I am ALSO going to hopefully learn how to remove half of them.

#

Baby steps for me though XD

somber sequoia
#

but yeah - that VRCFT prefab, if installed properly, would add its own menus to your avatar's menu at build time or in play mode.

#

without it being there I wouldn't expect it to keep doing that.

turbid elm
#

It's gone and I'm still seeing the menu pop up which has me lost

somber sequoia
#

I see nothing blue here - were you in play mode when you took this screenshot?

#

or is this all actually unpacked

turbid elm
#

I was in Play Mode - as my understanding currently is that I have to be in Play Mode tto use Gesture Manager in order to preview the Expressions Menu as it will appear in game

somber sequoia
#

yep, that's correct. GM or a similar tool, anyway.

turbid elm
#

To verify it's still happening I exited and re-entered play mode and can see the Face Tracking menu still there

somber sequoia
#

There's nothing in the hierarchy at edit-time that's removed or rearranged at run-time, is there?

turbid elm
#

Let me stare at it as I re-enter play mode and see if anything happens

#

Nothing gets added, removed, or re-arranged. Only the colour of the text changes

#

I'm so lost

somber sequoia
#

I'd be checking if you have an object buried somewhere that has the fury menu-adder component on it

turbid elm
#

So basically there is one that contains a VRCFury Move or Rename Menu Item component. I imagine this is what is causing a certain Menu I edited to continually revert, as they are being forced back to their defaults at runtime

#

But NONE of the objects in the entire Avatar hierarchy contain something similar for Face Tracking SubMenu.....

Hey, I have a really quick question:
How do I control blendshapes via a radial menu with VRCFury?

image.png
#

The Fangs radial slider does appear in VRC, but has no effect

junior void
#

Exactly like that is how I set up mine, funny enough also fangs lol

#

If the radial does nothing, check the blendshape by itself to confirm it works

fluid sinew
#

It does

#

I put it on the Body Mesh (same one that has the blendshapes)

junior void
#

Is that blendshape animated already perhaps? You can test this by removing your slider, go to play mode, and see if the blendshape can be turned up manually from the shape key list while in play mode

fluid sinew
#

ohhhh

#

They don't :)

#

Yep, I found the issue

#

They already were in a menu that wasn't working correctly. I deleted it and now it works

#

Thank you 👍

Is there a way to disable eye follow without disabling eye blinking altogether?

burnt rose
merry ridge
#

(Honestly didn’t know if I should put this here or in shaders)

I recently saw a VRChat video on X that had incredibly detailed visuals — smooth shadows, realistic lighting, and overall very high-quality avatars. The shadows were unpixelated and appeared to be real-time, casting naturally on walls, furniture, and other players.

When I looked into it, I saw mentions of “real-time shadow casting.” I also reached out to someone who asked about it before, and they were told it had to do with lighting and light particles.

I’m really interested in learning how to achieve this effect myself. If anyone knows how to set up real-time shadows, improved lighting, or similar techniques that enhance avatar quality like this, I’d be very grateful with help.

south kraken
#

anyway to get a blendshapes value to use as a condition for avatars?

somber sequoia
#

no

#

Unless you make a variable for it, then use that variable in animations to set the blendshape value

#

but you can't directly read that in the animator

south kraken
#

oof. thats the kind of thing i could do in a world right but not for an avatar huh?

somber sequoia
#

which part?

read a blendshape state? I wonder if that's exposed to Udon... wouldn't surprise me if it is

Well I've got an odd issue. I've got texture distortion because in the actual FBX's default state/data, when in substance painter, etc. Is untriangulated, when going into unity it triangulates itself automatically and really makes my stuff wonky. How do I fix this? Not sure how to triangulate it in substance painter, since I spent ages on a nice texture and I'll be damned if I have to be rid of it.

Examples.

somber sequoia
#

I'm a little surprised you have any distortion, I've not seen this.

proven quail
#

I think the problem is that the texture is set for the squares, and then unity triangulates it and the triangles mess up the squares texture. So I'm pretty sure using the triangle model, they need to make a triangles texture so it's matchy, you know?

somber sequoia
#

right but I'd think if the UV map was sane, that wouldn't really affect anything

i have awful sense of scale and 3d space so im shooting this question here- Custom Chubbed this base and i. feel like it looks. wrong, from the side. but im not sure. thoughts?

if you select only the faces of the material you're working on, it might be easier to see

hollow mountain
somber sequoia
#

can hide the rest of the faces even.

in the properties box, usually at the bottom-right, select the material tab then pick the material you want, and "select" below that will select those faces.

maybe she should just have a broken back who knows---- anyways time to spend fifty years in blender resculpting :,)

Now ah, how do I hide the rest of the faces. It still shows everything.

sometimes I do.

#

kazin expertise needed on the export

somber sequoia
#

sorry, what is the issue?

hollow mountain
#

Ok the undo didn't do anything but I pressed something else and it did

proven quail
#

ok ok, alt + h shows everything again

proven quail
somber sequoia
#

if you go out of edit mode, you'll find those things are no longer hidden

proven quail
#

ok yeah so its probably fine

somber sequoia
#

it's only for your convenience while editing, doesn't affect anything else.

hollow mountain
#

There is not even a select option anymore

image.png
proven quail
#

click this, go to edit mode

hollow mountain
#

Got back in here but it's still showing the other bits

image.png
#

It's trying to show the UV's of the hair and stuff too ackkk

proven quail
#

ok, so looking at the uv map was actually just a side quest because kazin was curious. lets go back to layout and triangulate the mesh, then export this stuff and put it in substance painter

somber sequoia
#

no it was more to check if the UV map was sane, to see why triangulation made any difference at all

hollow mountain
#

For future reference, how do I keep it from trying to show the other UV's of that object?

proven quail
#

for future reference, use substance painter to view uvs by material. ok now lets triangulate. Go to layout layout on the top bar

image.png
hollow mountain
#

Had to turn sync selection off

proven quail
#

ahh, good to know

hollow mountain
#

I can definitely see a bit of wasted space

image.png
#

The UV's for the NKD protogen are heretical though -~-

proven quail
#

ok, so when you are ready to triangulate, switch to edit mode here (it will probably say object mode or something)

image.png
hollow mountain
#

Then on the right there's a wrench icon and select triangulate

proven quail
#

then click a to select all the vertexes

image.png
hollow mountain
#

For editing this, I just click import and import fbx btw? There's no blender file.

proven quail
#

then click ctrl + t to triangulate

image.png
proven quail
somber sequoia
#

don't do a modifier if you have shape keys.

proven quail
#

ok so dont do a modifier, those do fuck up shape keys, like blendshapes. you need those for vismes and facial expressions

image.png
#

do the select all and ctrl + t method

#

then export as fbx and put that in substance painter.

hollow mountain
#

Doesn't seem to do anything to the texture, bit confused.

#

I have the texture applied onto the material or whatever so I can look for a difference.

#

Ok I see in the bottom corner I can select the method

#

Also the textures come out fine in substance, I need to replace the FBX that is used by the avatar in unity, thought I said that earlier.

#

Texture warping looks to be caused by unity's auto triangulation using a wonky method.

#

Swapped them out

Can anyone help with a small problem I've been having for days now? I can't seem to get my avatar's dress and legs to stop clipping and I've gone back and weight painted several times now from scratch and I don't know what to do now. I've also tried transferring weights with the built in tool and an addon, I've tried automatic, I've tried bones on the bottom of the dress and nothing seems to stop the clipping.

#

But not a start

flint dawn
#

I do have 1 test upload where none of this happens, but then when I went back and fixed the angle of the legs just a bit, it started doing this clipping thing bad

Well no weight transfer tools is suppost to get it right. For now atleast.

In Blender, the clipping doesn't even happen.

#

The clipping happens in vrchat

crude moat
hollow mountain
hollow mountain
somber sequoia
#

not sure why you replied to me specifically here, but you can go into Blender and assign faces to a different material.

hollow mountain
#

This is it in blender. And I asked you since you helped me yesterday and are patient enough to deal with my idiocy which I really appriciate.

image.png
somber sequoia
#

if there's a material slot visible in Unity, it means at least one face is using it.

hollow mountain
#

So how would I assign it to a different material? Would that mess with the textures since it's messing with the UV? I'd prefer to remove it altogether if that's not too difficult.

somber sequoia
#

I think this is where I recommend basic blender tutorials.

#

And yes, absolutely it'd mess with things

hollow mountain
#

So removing just that bit altogether would be better?

somber sequoia
#

without understanding what "that bit" is, I'm not sure I could suggest what to do with it

hollow mountain
#

It's just a set of small things inside the head that expand to show things like the blush, or something over top of the eye. It uses it's own seperate texture and material, but still has blendshapes.

somber sequoia
#

but it really sounds like you would greatly benefit from working through something like The Donut Tutorial

hollow mountain
somber sequoia
#

unfortunately this image shows nothing useful

hollow mountain
#

I right clicked on it, called "extras" and pressed delete, maybe that's enough??

somber sequoia
#

Deleting a material will cause all faces assigned to it to be assigned to the next material up. Maybe that's what you want? Maybe not.

hollow mountain
#

I'd want to remove the actual 3d part of it from the model.

somber sequoia
#

then you need to edit the mesh object, select those parts, and delete them.

hollow mountain
#

Uhh, does just highlighting the vertices and clicking "delete vertices" work for that purpose?

somber sequoia
#

sure

hollow mountain
#

Well great, appears to have been removed but now in unity it's missing other materials and the "extra's" material is still there and now assigned to the eyes.

image.png
#

Except only in the thingy that was already in the scene, which is now using the new FBX. If I bring the FBX into the scene seperately, it's normal.

somber sequoia
#

Sure - in Unity you can put whatever material you want into the slots

#

This is per-scene

hollow mountain
#

Oh so it's like randomized the materials. The Eyes is now applying to hair, and Extra's is now on the eyes??

somber sequoia
#

it's not random

#

If you change or re-order the slots, you can't expect the stuff you'd previously assigned to the slots to be in the same slots. Simply put the right materials into the right slots now.
You can right-click the material slot and click "revert" to revert it back to the embedded material, that can help figure out which is which

hollow mountain
#

Ah oki I see

image.png
#

Fixed

#

Looks as it should now.

image.png
somber sequoia
#

I keep my models split in parts in Blender, especially clothing, and when I export I join parts down to one object for body and one for clothing, and in doing so I tend to be pretty strict about how I order the joining so the material slots order how I want them to. Assuming there's more than one per object, that is.

#

silly little techniques you figure out by doing stuff wrong or inconsistently.

foggy hornet
#

If anyone has experience with the NovaFirebreathing Asset, I want to try to keep the flames from contact of the breath to linger for a little bit before dissipating. It works while the breath is happening, however once the fire breath turns off, it takes the flames sent by the collision with it, effectively snuffing it out before it's even had a few seconds on the ground. Is there any specific way to do this?

somber sequoia
#

is it done via particle system?

foggy hornet
#

Highlighted is what I want to linger after FireBody turns itself off after.

image.png
#

Yes

somber sequoia
#

a guess, it probably isn't using buffer particles to do it so all the particles go away when the system is disabled.

#

no I do not have a link to a tutorial.

foggy hornet
#

Right, because it disables the FireCollision along with FireBody

#

Otherwise it would (or should) work

#

Cause I did confirm it at least sticks to where I'm breathing at.

hollow mountain
#

If the flames starting and ending is handled in an animation clip could you just extend the time until it ends? Dunno, not good with that kinda stuff.

#

Kazin it's now grumping about this ;w;

#

Fym there's no chest. It's right there.

somber sequoia
#

doesn't mean it's mapped properly in the rig setup

hollow mountain
#

Ah I see

#

Messing this thing up is teaching me a lot lol

foggy hornet
# hollow mountain Uhh little confused, so you want the flames to stick around a little longer afte...

So there's a collision that's enacted on by a Sub-Emitter known as FireCollision underneath FlameBody. For one reason or another, once the fire stops breathing, the flames that are already stuck to the ground do not stick around, even though I tested the overall particle system and it should work as intended. Looking at the animator it doesn't LOOK like the Collision should be turning off with it but then again I don't know for sure.

#

(So once fire stops breathing, flames that are already on-ground disappear immediately for no reason)

somber sequoia
#

You can watch it happen in play mode (while using gesture manager or av3 emulator)

foggy hornet
#

Right, I tested it in-game so I know it happens there.

somber sequoia
#

in game you can't see what is actually happening to the objects in the hierarchy

foggy hornet
somber sequoia
#

makes sense

foggy hornet
#

Thinking I have to rework the animation clip in a way where it doesn't do that.

#

Hopefully this does what I intend for it to do.

arctic ginkgo
#

@foggy hornet is "FireCollision" a subemitter of "FireBody"?

foggy hornet
#

I found that the "Off" Animator clip is disabling FireBody during it's animation clip, so trying to see if that's something I can fix.

arctic ginkgo
#

unity will yell at you and tell you that's not allowed and it won't work but it's actually lying to you and it does work lol

foggy hornet
arctic ginkgo
#

awesome, it should hopefully be as easy as moving FireCollision in the hierarchy :D

foggy hornet
#

Where exactly am I moving it to in the Hierarchy, cause it's inside of FireBody atm

#

Just for reference in Prefab mode atm

#

Just use the same parameter. All that needs to change is the animations/animation controller

#

So if you have a parameter called "Hair color" for example, then the Quest controller animates the hair color on the Quest shader, while the PC controller animates the hair color on the PC shader

Is this a bug on VRCHATS end? Or does someone know a work around this?

viewpoint not gonna change, so wont work

somber sequoia
#

right

upper venture
#

Like for example a blendshape that makes the legs suddenly stretched

upper venture
#

The main thing is I’d like for the appearance of it to others to seem seamless and smooth

somber sequoia
#

if you're ok with a playspace change, instead extend the legs downward

upper venture
#

Playspacing is like a behind the scenes thing

upper venture
#

Like legs extend downward but avatar body raises upward

#

Cuz it’s a slow transition

balmy barn
#

could do some wierdness with upright maybe then auto extend things

somber sequoia
#

Via blendshape? Sure, but then your mesh will not match the armature position, and your viewpoint won't change

balmy barn
#

viewpoint might end up inside your stomach or end up way above you head tho

upper venture
somber sequoia
#

yeah, because you can't move the armature that way

upper venture
#

I thought I almost had it that while ago but then yeah hands

#

Animate the root to move up using additive animation, blendshape stretches feet down. While transitioning you can spam transitions between animations that have temp pose space to smoothly move your viewpoint

# upper venture Oh??

basically does the same thing as gogo loco's hover thingy, you need to force the hips to be animated though for it to work in FBT using animator tracking control state behavior.

Oh gosh ok I’ll try this thanks!

i need help uploading an avi, everything i try to import the file it just keeps opening more in more in the file

junior void
#

what does that mean

vague spade
#

i click on import and it just keeps opening the files in my documents

#

idk how to explain it

#

it wont let me drag it in the project either

somber sequoia
#

what type of file is this?

vague spade
#

it was a zip so i extracted it

somber sequoia
#

and what's in it?

vague spade
#

so file folder

#

the avatar but im really new to this stuff so idk what to call most of these :((

somber sequoia
#

"the avatar" - what does this mean?

vague spade
#

i bought an avatar and it came in a zip file. i extracted it and it has a bunch of things lemme sc

#

thats when i first open it

somber sequoia
#

Yes, I'm asking what are the things

vague spade
#

now when i click again

#

one sec i fucked uo

Ok you've got someone's full unity project.

has anyone ever seen this unity error and know how to fix it? as far as i can tell the animator is set up correctly, and so is my rig

no worries - that's not a usual thing people do

i had it happen before but long long time ago and my friend helped me

#

i had no idea this was the case

#

i might need help ina bit cuz i need to convert it to ques TvT

left wharf
#

in most cases, the warnings can be ignored

ionic kindle
#

well whatever it is, i believe its stopping me from adding something that uses modular avatar, i could be wrong but ive tried everything from reimporting modular avatar and the system im trying to add. no luck, its like modular avatar is just broken, would anyone know of anything that conflicts with modular avatar?

left wharf
#

so, what's your actual issue?
"no luck" doesn't descrive what you expected and what you got

zenith forge
#

idk why my avatar doesn't want to work on any device. I literally downloaded vrchat ready models from booth.pm and imported them into unity, added the descriptor, put the models together into one, and published it. There are so many errors you can't even use the avatar.

chilly solar
#

why do my vrcfury toggles randomly turn off and turn off when i switch my avi im losing my mind i thought maybe it was because i set them up but not on the quest version but i fixed that an it didnt do anything, i see things about parameters and checking saved but do i not need said parameters for vrcfury toggles? bc i dont have them and they work they just dont work right lmfao

somber sequoia

"vrchat ready" often doesn't mean that 🙂

how do i convert to a quest avatar if it has too many bones.. (700 bones TvT)

remember your computer has to render your own avatar 2-3 times also, so it'll affect your performance too.

i was wondering how do i add a file that i had earlier to the current project?

somber sequoia
#

"a file"?

vague spade
#

like this sorry

somber sequoia
#

you can drag files into the "project" window

#

those are folders, not files

vague spade
#

oh

#

is there a way i can add those to the avatar project i have

somber sequoia
#

you can also drag folders into the project window, though no idea what use that is without knowing what's in there.

vague spade
#

im trying to add a clothing set but im just very lost and confused

somber sequoia
#

yeah but "a clothing set" is not a standardized thing, you'd have to look for instructions from the creator or look inside the folder and figure out what to do with the contents

so, check MA Menu Installer can be added from Add Component
also I don't recommend to install MA manually

(hmm, I can't find any issues related to this on MA's repository... so it might be PCSS issue?)

#

I just checked VRChat and it said it won't work because security checks failed.

balmy barn

uhu

ionic kindle
#

could possibly be but ive tried to install past versions of pcss with no luck either, completely unsure what this issue could be

somber sequoia

#

how do i get to those?

somber sequoia
#

they are listed above the "build and publish" button

balmy barn
#

unless you use stuff that adds during build then its wild west

somber sequoia
#

yep, true

#

oh. i can't get to those right now. It will probably be at lease 3-4 hours until i can get back to my computer.

is there a way i can get the blueprint id for an avi i dont have the unity file for anymore? i accidently deleted the folder and project stuff for an avi im working on because i wanted to make a new one but i forgot to copy and save the blueprint id so i can overwrite this avatar, is there any way for me to get it back :c

i dont wanna have to make this a whole new avi

In any project, you can see all your uploaded avatars in the SDK and copy their id. You can also look on the website under avatars

somber sequoia
#

VRChatSDK window, "content manager" tab

chilly solar

i dont have the project anymore tho i deleted it

balmy barn

The id is in the url when you click on the avatar on the website.

indeed it does my excitement was censored

But content manager does show every uploaded avatar, you don't need the original project. But the website url also has the id yeah

How can I stop expressions from moving fingers? For example, I have a model that has an oversized sweater, how can I freeze the fingers so they wont clip while the sweater is toggled?

balmy barn
#

part toggled on - tell others they arent allowed to do anything (second parameter in gesture transitions)

radiant night
#

I'm sorry, I dont follow

night ember
#

add the sweater parameter as a condition in the transitions

#

if sweater false do gesture

radiant night
#

oooh, okay, thanks!

#

Wait, but wont that also prevent facial expressions?

balmy barn
#

nope those are in fx controller

radiant night
#

This avatar came with everything in the FX controller

somber sequoia
#

most things should be there

balmy barn
#

finger movements are in Gesture (vrc_AvatarV3HandsLayer if its using default)

might look very different

Oooh

Thank you

MY fingers ARE broken!!! i can't clench my fists

would anyone know why my gesture is sticking on?
the aimation is just a simple blendshape toggle and its being applied with vrc furry

vrcfury 🤷‍♂️ no idea , but mixed write defaults like to make things stick - vrcfury have a thing to force write default

fair fair i gave it another go without vrc furry and im still getting the same error

theres this weird glitch in vr on my avatar where like..for some weird reason the viewpoint is all the way in the back of the head but in unity the viewpoint is fine. can anybody help me out??

#

i made the avatar myself and am relatively new to unity but sort of got the hang of it

#

like in vrchat while im on vr it does it where the viewpoint is in the back of the head

Any way to fix poiyomi stuff being weird on UV seams?

Alright, I'm resorting to outsourcing my problem!
Currently I've been trying to animate my avatar to do a janky ass flip on a skateboard, while playing some audio behind it. Right now, the audio plays fine in VRChat, and the animation works and plays when using the GestureManager to select the toggle.

In VRChat itself however, I'm just put into the ground, albeit in the correct pose that I wanted, so it looks like the translation / rotation has not been applied?

I've seen online that some people are saying that it has to be a generic model instead of humanoid, but everything is already rigged in humanoid and I really don't want to go down that path if I don't have to.

Anyways, please let me know if you have any info on how I can fix this, or if I can provide more info for you as well!

Alright, let me check - is that something I have to do in the animator controller? I'm not super versed in avatar creation/editing yet, so far I've only changed a couple hand gestures and skin textures lol

timber wharf
#

@spice ruin any stuff that animates humanoid bones goes in NOT FX layers,in your case for a complete override, in action one, with a typical for emotes/dances tracking override. Any stuff that animates anything other that humanoid bones, goes into FX, so any prop toggle on and audo goes there. Both of em reactin to the same conditions simultaneously

so um... what do i do?

Hi I am trying to add clothing onto my avatar but it my first time and I am not sure how to go about doing this would anyone be willing to help a first timer doing this

ok i need help
it says my avatar is too short even though it's bigger than the example model????

i am new to unity and have been refrencing the documentation but i can't find a mention of this anywhere so im here

Depends on the avatar or if the clothing fits too

Are you intending to add it in unity or blender?

timber wharf
#

@spice ruin uh, why? you just split your animations to appropriate transforms and use tracking override

spice ruin
#

your scale is at .3 btw, from what I've seen models are usually at scale 1, +/- .1

thorn garnet
#

you're kidding

round comet
#

You can just make the model smaller in-game if you don’t like the size

thorn garnet
#

still too short D:

spice ruin
thorn garnet
round comet
#

Not 0.1, no

timber wharf
#

@thorn garnet tis not bout height, tis bout lacking a proper humanoid descriptor

thorn garnet
#

huh

spice ruin
#

+/- meaning give or take 0.1 units

thorn garnet
#

how do i fix that

timber wharf
#

it has no idea whats your height is since it has no idea where your head at

thorn garnet
#

OH

#

do i need to rename the rig?

#

cause i already did the humanoid rig and set the hands, head, and feet

image.png
#

do i need to extend it by one bone?

timber wharf
surreal sandal
#

i renamed the actual head that is separate from the body to eye holder/top piece and the head section that the base body has to just neck but it still won't acknowledge it.

image.png
thorn garnet
#

is there a naming scheme im supposed to use for these models?

timber wharf
#

@thorn garnet should not import fine. i see at least two bones lacking in hips-head chain so no way itd work for vrc

#

vrc only allows optionally to skip upper chest

thorn garnet
#

WHY?

timber wharf
#

why what

thorn garnet
#

ughhhhhhh

#

im on it hold on

timber wharf
#

theres bare minimum of bones unity expects you to have
and vrc with their fbt and ik expects you to have even more

somber sequoia
thorn garnet
#

huh

timber wharf
#

this but fingerless is a bare minimum

thorn garnet
#

will this be in the documentation in the future? :D

somber sequoia
#

I think it's in some really dated docs somewhere

thorn garnet
timber wharf
#

wha

#

neck?

thorn garnet
#

there's chest and upper chest but you said i can skip upper chest so what's the other bone

timber wharf
#

hips-spine-chest-neck-head. better upper chest as well

somber sequoia
#

yeah you can skip upper chest.

thorn garnet
#

there is NO neck descriptor in this shit

image.png
somber sequoia
#

limbs you need down to hands/feet.

#

you need hips -> spine -> chest -> neck -> head

timber wharf
#

@thorn garnet head section

thorn garnet
#

woops

#

wait no that's optional

image.png
#

fuck it

timber wharf
#

@thorn garnet again, optional in unity doesnt mean optional in vrc

thorn garnet
#

i hope there's a tool that'll tell me if i need a bone in the future in the SDK :D

somber sequoia
#

I expect it'll just continue to be in outdated documentation 🙂

thorn garnet
#

where is it in the documentation? :D

#

please 🙏

somber sequoia
#

ah yes, that's often the question

thorn garnet
#

:D

#

D:

somber sequoia
thorn garnet
#

oh im blind

#

wait no

#

it mentions not needing upper chest and the error messages that can pop up but it doesn't simply say all of the required bones

#

oh im double blind

is there an updated form of documentation? :D
this was what i was using

wouldn't that be nice 🙂

but I'm one of those crazy engineers who writes good docs and insists everyone else does too.

So many questions asked in here could be answered by good documentation.
