[round comet]

e-girl base by zinpia

[ruby summit]

well i have nothing more that could control the eyes

[round comet]

Its called vrbase egirl

[ornate stump]

What a generic name.

[ornate stump]

You could try reset FX layer to default and test it again, see if you can rotate the eye bone.

[ruby summit]

i dont have those

literally didnt even added too much, not even toggles or anything, i was just creating i

[round comet]

Its the most widely used body base in the western community, but I get the confusion considering the name

[tulip radish]

Yep that’s the base

[round comet]

[tulip radish]

Alright

[ornate stump]

It used to be other bases named like Panda and Zinfit. But Ok I got it.

[round comet]

Yeye still made by Zinpia (meaning Zinfit). Panda isn’t as popular anymore

[ornate stump]

Can you still rotate any other non-humanoid bone?

[ruby summit]

ears could count right since theyre out of the humanoid

[ornate stump]

Yes.

[ruby summit]

well yes i can

[ornate stump]

Can you get into Debug mode in gesture manager and see in Animator States tab?

What animator states are showing.

[ornate stump]

There is actually an eye layer in the default FX. So create a new empty animator layer and use it for FX layer intead.

[tulip radish]

But what if they have the same name already? Or do you mean for them to differentiate? How do I fix the part where they get assigned in the wrong point of the base armature?

[ruby summit]

so, like this?

[round comet]

How did you attach the clothing originally?

[ruby summit]

or do i create one in assets and drag it there

[ornate stump]

Leaving it none will just cause another error. You will have to make a new one.

[ruby summit]

saying just that doesnt rlly help srry 😭 how do i create a new one

[ornate stump]

Assets -> Create -> Animator Controller

[ornate stump]

Ok.

[ruby summit]

does it need any other step? because the eyes still spin

[ornate stump]

Pointing up? Can you rotate the eye bone now though?

[ruby summit]

nope

[ornate stump]

Screenshot the Debug panel again.

[ornate stump]

There should be nothing that can rotate eye bones now. And I totally have no idea why it's doing that. Still though, if you actually set eye look and preview the rotation, does it rotate?

[ruby summit]

yes it does

[ornate stump]

I'm not sure if avatar descriptor still has eye bones in control even eye look got disabled. You could remove the eye bone assignment and test again to confirm.

[ornate stump]

And the Y axis is far apart into negative which is the reason why eye rotation is incorrect.

[ruby summit]

yeah but thats the only way the eye shows correctly on the preview

without it, its like this

[ornate stump]

For looking left, can you put number 210 into Y instead?

[ruby summit]

i can't, it gets auto corrected to -150

[ornate stump]

Can you fix the bone in blender?

[ruby summit]

yes, i have another version already made with the eye bones pointing up and pointing forward just in case

want me to use the upward one?

[ornate stump]

It has to be upward and bone roll zero.

[ruby summit]

ok

[loud shard]

I got so fucking close but vrc fury is fucking me

if it didn't go and make unique copies of everything it would work

[misty flax]

Sorry for asking but can sm upload an avi for me im kinda broke so i made it on the school laptop its not a lot it’s just some toggles as well so dm me if you can help me for free

[ornate stump]

That's the point of vrcfury, it has to preprocess everything. It could still because of the write defaults setting in the states so you should try various setting the vrcfury fix write default option and see whether work.

[ruby summit]

like this?

[ornate stump]

You have to make the bone tail point upward.

[ornate stump]

And make sure roll axis is zero.

[viral thorn]

hey hey, What version of the sdk are we on? I havent made avis in a while

[ruby summit]

where do i see that

[ornate stump]

From N menu.

[ornate stump]

You can take a look in VCC.

[ornate stump]

You have to be in edit mode and select the bone.

[tough marsh]

????

[ruby summit]

ohh okay

yeah it should be in 0

[ornate stump]

See errors in console.

[tough marsh]

this is the only one i can see when i print errors to console

[ornate stump]

That's for model import and it's unrelated. Make sure that you don't filter out the error in console.

[loud shard]

doesn't change anything either

Might go to bed shortly and pick up tomoroow

[ornate stump]

So what if you change the write default in the animation states?

[tough marsh]

i'm confused, sorry

there are no errors, just warnings and stuff

[ornate stump]

Make sure there is some number showing here.

[tough marsh]

what the fliiip

how do i fix this? i dont even know what im looking at

[ornate stump]

The poiyomi shader is having the issue so you have to delete it and import it again.

[tough marsh]

it's fixed, thank you for the help!

[loud shard]

no change

I will try one (1) more thing tonight

[somber sequoia]

Right - swapping out model parts is mostly easy. having a different armature is not.

Like range of height, just don't waste your time trying, use the in-game scaling.

[gaunt knoll]

Anyone know of any good sprite tutorial I want to make one into a follower but it's not really documented well

The video that I used to use has got taken down for some odd reason

[lone shoal]

is there any way to make a collider one-way? i have a bubble shield on an avatar that i want particles to be able to travel out of but should collide with when travelling into it

[loud shard]

I got closer.. gogoloco was trying to add its own stuff to the gesture layer and fucking with the base layer but even after fixing that the arms still get frozen in place

[loud shard]

Okay I had one of the masks on the arms not the hands but I fixed it and it works amazingly now

[lofty sandal]

hey gang i’m having some issues uploading this project, they are named according to placement, also apologies about the highlighted blue ones i was just using them to keep track of what id already screenshotted

and then the vrcsdk also disappear after closing the project but if i just make a new one no prob i just dont know how to fix the other issues, when it loads its like 10% through, the vrcfury pop up shows then kaput

[balmy barn]

multiple of same file and you have package ones in asset , quite a mess there

short exsample, but you need to delete your 'packages' folder in asset

[tough marsh]

is there a way to add dances/emotes easily? (such as through vrc fury) or do i have to do stuff with my parameters/fx and such

[merry sigil]

I'm trying new things here instead of limiting myself to such things

[somber sequoia]

I'm pointing out what's doable and what isn't, but sure, go ahead.

[reef kraken]

how would i make a animation from triggering when making a fist to triggering when i do a fist then pull my index finger in?

[lusty vale]

Could anyone give me some advice as to why these prefab clothes seem to be rotated in game? I have them setup with armature links in vrcfury and things look fine in unity but in game they're rotated. I'm at a bit of a knowledge gap here so I would super appreciate any help!

[reef kraken]

i think you need to go to the armature link and hit advanced settings and disable the top 3 marks that says like scale, position, rotate to something and it should work

i had to do that to a few of my clothes that didnt have vrcfury

[lusty vale]

Gotcha, thanks for the lead! Will have to try that this evening but will let you know how it goes 😁

[reef kraken]

okie dokie

[lusty vale]

Actually, gave it a quick shot before work and that fixed it! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[reef kraken]

your welcome :3

[lofty sandal]

i agree this package is a little bit of a mess, would you mind hopping in a stream of the package, i cannot find it but full disclosure i have no unity knowlege, also a few more questions on terms of uploading her

[river jewel]

anybody know how to make toggles using a float parameter but without a radial menu? I somehow was able to do it before :')

but now I've sadly forgotten

[pine stone]

There's a shader im interested in making but I need to know if it's actually possible. Basically, I want an outline on my avatar. That's simple, but I want the outline only on the outside of the rendered model. A better way to explain would be like, an outline of the model's 2D silhouette rather than all the geometry

Is there any kind of way to do this

[timber wharf]

@pine stone https://www.poiyomi.com/blog/2022-07-11-stencilled-outlines

[somber star]

is these a list of common shapekey i need to make for vrchat avatar somewhere?

[timber wharf]

@somber star visemes for any avatar, and ig this for face tracking https://docs.vrcft.io/docs/tutorial-avatars/tutorial-avatars-extras/unified-blendshapes#ue-blended-shapes

visemes https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/animator-parameters#viseme-values

oh and blinking and if required look up/look down (for eyes shape like raising eyebrows etc, not eyes itself) for any avatar ofc

[somber star]

i saw some model name Viseme like this, it different from the Viseme list. is this ok? or need to rename so it match the list?

[timber wharf]

@somber star names dont matter unless its for mmd worlds and these use jp naming afaik. but all 15 must be present even if some of them are just doubles

[cobalt cloak]

I have a prefab with an audio source in it, but it's global. How do I change it to proximity?

[timber wharf]

slider 2d - 3d all the way to 3d, in curve set linear and drag it so far is like 5m, close is 2m

ie like this #avatar-help message

where for them <0.21 (too low obv) is max volume and >5.91 is nothing

[cobalt cloak]

i just copy the stettings

[cobalt cloak]

Can I make it quieter for myself?

[timber wharf]

while yes you can, doesnt seem fair huh

[cobalt cloak]

yes but It's a nose boop sound and a bit annoying for me when someone spams it.

and most of my friends are on a quest, so they don't hear it at all.

[hasty plover]

I organized my characters body and head uv’s I think it looks good. What do you guys think?

[main fiber]

I wanna make the charging handle on my rifle grabbable and slidable but I'm not sure the best way to do that? I was thinking a physbone but I'm not sure if the physbone component works without an actual bone.

[ornate stump]

You could create an empty game object, and its child game object, put physbone component in, and that will just become a physbone.

[main fiber]

like this?

[ornate stump]

Yes. Then to make it grabbable: put some radius for it.

[main fiber]

i put a .1 radius to it and it under collision and it seemed not do anything, it's still just a single line

[ornate stump]

Does bigger number change it? Like more than 10.

[burnt nova]

see but i dont wanna use radial puppets i want clean toggles like godfall avatars you know? im now trying to figure out how to do it manually which i don't know how to do

[main fiber]

no numbers seem to be working to make it bigger

[ornate stump]

Does the root transform you set have a child game object?

[main fiber]

the root transform is that "charge_lo"

[ornate stump]

Then you have to put the "Shell" in ignore transform list too.

[main fiber]

now it looks like this?

[ornate stump]

Does the radius change it now?

[main fiber]

nope, lol

what bout this "endpoint position"? it seemed to make the radius work but kinda made it all wonky bc of the "bone" thing i have

[ornate stump]

endpoint position is for adding extra length in case of your physbone object doesn't have child bone or missing end bone.

[main fiber]

mm, got it

am I just cooked then?

[muted nebula]

Hello how are you

[ornate stump]

No.

[pine stone]

any chance of the same effect with quest support?

[ornate stump]

Not possible.

[pine stone]

why

if i may ask

what makes it not possible

[balmy barn]

quest potato , want worse frames standalone ?

[ornate stump]

Because android avatar have limited choice of shader.

[minor geode]

is there a way to make a blendshape be 100 by default?

[night ember]

Stenciling is pretty heavy

[night ember]

Just put it to 100?

[minor geode]

I mean like when the avatar is loaded

Have it be 100 until set otherwise

Cuz usually all blendshapes are 0 until set otherwise

[night ember]

Just animate it that way

[minor geode]

How

[night ember]

Just have it be 100 then animate it to be not 100?

[minor geode]

yes but how do i make it 100 in the first place

[night ember]

By setting it to 100

[minor geode]

WHERE 😭

[night ember]

The mesh where the blendshapes are

[minor geode]

like in the skinned mesh renderer component ?

[main fiber]

yes, whatever the blendshape affects, go to that mesh and to the skinned mesh renderer and the section for blendshapes will be there

[blissful mantle]

is it possible to lock the fingers pose with an animation clip? the idea is to make it so the fingers wont move only with a toggle

[somber sequoia]

yes - use VRC Animator Tracking Control on the animation state, mark the fingers "animated", then set them back to "tracking" when done

[pine stone]

its not that heavy to add a regular outline on quest so what makes stenciling so much heavier

[minor geode]

it doesn't show up in game

[proven quail]

A regular outline is just a duplicated mesh with normals flipped. Stenciling is entirely different

[proven quail]

then something is animating the blendshape and setting it to 0 or a different value

[minor geode]

definitely not, only thing affecting the blendshape is a toggle which i have off

[proven quail]

do you have Gesture Manager? test the avatar and then manually check the blendshape value in play mode.

[proven quail]

this is the wikipedia on stenciling.

[minor geode]

i do not have it

[ornate stump]

There is no shader supporting stencil for quest avatar to begin with.

[proven quail]

its free, and I believe its curated. Add it to the project with creator companion

[minor geode]

ykw this is a whole lot of effort for something i could do another way dw about it

[proven quail]

How do you know this for sure? Did you design this model from the ground up, and create all its animators and animations? Or does it have an FX that it came with?

[minor geode]

i did all of it from start to finish

[proven quail]

Blendshapes start at the value you leave them in unity on upload. Something is changing the value of your blendshape.

[minor geode]

definitely not, i checked in blender too

[proven quail]

it could be another animated blendshape that undo's or makes the original blendshape not show. This is why we need Gesture Manager to see the actual value of the blendshape

in play mode, or in simulated game

[minor geode]

it's the only blendshape that's being set at all in game so nothing else could be modifying it

[proven quail]

no vismes? no blink? no facial expressions?

[minor geode]

nope

[proven quail]

what is this blendshape

[proven quail]

if it is being reset on upload, something is modifying it. Any tools or scripts attached to the avatar?

[minor geode]

nope not atm

[proven quail]

any ocs usage? What world are you testing in? something is touching the blendshape.

[minor geode]

just testing in the default vrchat home world

[proven quail]

The animation you made, it sets the blendshape to what? and when does the animation activate?

like it is a toggle tied to a parameter?

[minor geode]

it's a toggle that sets the blendshape to 100

sets it to 0*

but obviously that does nothing because it's still 0 by default

[proven quail]

ok. So when it is off, the blendshape should be at the default value, unless the toggle is being triggered somehow on load

is the animation setting it to 0 the only state in that fx layer?

[minor geode]

huh? i was just told to set it in the skinned mesh renderer nothing about layers

and then have it set to 0 with a toggle

[proven quail]

how are you doing your toggle?

[minor geode]

vrcfury toggle component

[proven quail]

so thats a script

how did you create your animation?

[minor geode]

what animation?

[somber sequoia]

that component does the animation for you

[minor geode]

👆

[proven quail]

ok. So you have a vrcfury component that sets the blendshape to 0, and you set the blendshape manually to 100 in the scene. and then you upload. Correct?

[minor geode]

yup

[proven quail]

ok, im uploading a test doing exactly that

vrcfury should recognize the default state of the blendshape as 100, because thats what its set to in unity, but its possible that it doesn't work this way.

[night ember]

that heavily depends on the model since its doubling the tri count

[proven quail]

As soon as you do a vrcfury component, vrcfury touches everything. so that is probably causing the problem, let me see if I can recreate the problem and see what I can do to fix it

[minor geode]

not sure what happened but i fixed it

i deleted the toggle component and re-added it and it just suddenly worked

even though i did that before and it didnt work

[proven quail]

vrcfury was probably being weird, or you set a setting on the toggle that you forgot to readd now, and the setting was making it behave differently. In gesture manager, my simple setup works how you want it to. no save between worlds, no default on, no global parameter, etc

[minor geode]

okayt another thing he's really dim

[proven quail]

shadow settings, world lighting

what shader are you using?

[minor geode]

poi toon

ah it was just a visual bug

[proven quail]

if it persists, try setting a minimum brightness in lighting,

[rigid storm]

If I'm making an avatar that has a lot of customizable hair, and said hair has physbones on it. Would it help performance to turn off the physbone components of the hair that isn't showing via animations? Or would it not affect perfomance all that much?

[proven quail]

It will not affect the performance rank, but it will make your avatar perform better for others as disabled physbones don't render calculations.

[rigid storm]

Yes I'm aware the rank will stay the same. I'm talking actual performance wise. It should be alot easier on the cpu to calculate just the physbones that are showing, yes?

[proven quail]

yep, thats what I said

[rigid storm]

Alrighty, thank you very much ✨

[proven quail]

everyone be like Steg. Disable your physbones when the mesh is disabled. give a crap about how other's have to render your avatar.

[main fiber]

can somone help me figure out why this bone i have made using 2 game objects doesnt want to have a collision radius?

[proven quail]

try making the radius bigger than .005

depending on the fbx export settings and the scale, the needed value for the physbone radius will be different.

[somber star]

what name should i name my eyebrow shapekey?

[main fiber]

i tried to slowly made the radius bigger up to 10000, it isnt showing..

[proven quail]

hmm that is weird.

[main fiber]

aparently the charging handle on this has a size of -100, so i countered with a really small decimal and it's appearing now

[proven quail]

huh, how strange. Glad you were able to find a fix though

[main fiber]

👍

[fluid iron]

Question idk how to make avatars can someone help me lol I started a couple months ago

[gaunt knoll]

Kazin you here

theres a linux user saying hes getting a white screen using alcom

[warm vortex]

does anyone know the name of the booth tool for fitting one eye texture to a different base?

[somber sequoia]

I am, and have seen it before, but I don't know the answer - I'd check the github issues, I know it's documented somewhere. Make sure you have the latest alcom too

[somber sequoia]

you'll need to be more specific than that

[tribal garden]

Wondering if anyone has seen this error before. Unity just tells me to check the console and then the console dosent point to anything. Tried remaking the project and got the same error. Also tried re-uploading a different model and it uploaded fine. Only this one doesn't

[somber sequoia]

unless that is the only error in your console, instead post the first (top) 2-3, summaries are fine.

[tribal garden]

It is the only error

[somber sequoia]

oh that's frustrating. Anything in the build report above where you click "build and publish" that's a blocker? If not, it may be networking issues.

[tribal garden]

did a clear console and tried to reupload so that only any errors from uploading are there

you can see in the top right there is only 1 after uploading

[cerulean gazelle]

hey if anyone here knows whats happening pls tell me how to fix it.im making my first vrchat avatar with a sim model but when i go to the vrc companion and open my project it doesnt work

[somber sequoia]

you'd need to explain what "doesn't work" means.

[cerulean gazelle]

it pops up a message like this

[spice ruin]

It says what you should try first - if restarting didnt work, try and diagnose it yourself using the tool or just reinstall unity at that point

[spice ruin]

could be a bad vrcsdk install? could be wrong, but maybe try a different sdk install :)

though you did say you tried with a different avi...

[cerulean gazelle]

one last thing how do you put something you saved from blender into unity

[spice ruin]

fbxs can usually just be dragged into the window from your desktop

most model types can I believe

[cerulean gazelle]

alr

[tribal garden]

Yes i was on version 3.9 on base and avatar and I even uploaded a a avatar the other day on 3.9 and it was fine

im also pretty sure 3.9 is still okay to use

but i made a 3rd new project updates base and avatar to 3.10.1 and did everything else exactly the same as the failed project

and it worked

still not sure what the issue was tho

[spice ruin]

oh hell yeah

maybe it's just finnicky since it's a slightly older version?

glad you got it to work tho

[somber sequoia]

3.9 is buggy

[spice ruin]

well there ya go lol

[jovial hamlet]

Does anybody know where I can find base models for avatars?

I'm tryna model some goobers for my friends

[somber sequoia]

booth, gumroad, jinxxy, etc.

[jovial hamlet]

that don't require login*

mb

Dx

[cerulean gazelle]

i was gonna reccomend sims for custimization but thats up to u

[spice ruin]

that's gonna be... difficult

[cerulean gazelle]

its not

[jovial hamlet]

sims?

[cerulean gazelle]

yea

[jovial hamlet]

Like The Sims?

or am I stoobid

[cerulean gazelle]

yes

[spice ruin]

i meant finding places that don't require login

[cerulean gazelle]

ohhhhhhh

[jovial hamlet]

I'm so confused 😭

[spice ruin]

finding places that don't require login for base models will be difficult

not sure if mark is saying you can redesign the sims models or if there's somewhere to download them, but I'm assuming mango wants the fbx files for models

[jovial hamlet]

fbx and .blend is fine

[spice ruin]

I know in the past I've used deviantart for some free models, but not sure if you have to be logged in for those or not

[jovial hamlet]

I also know how to import VRM

[jovial hamlet]

I can check

[cerulean gazelle]

you can make a sims model rip it and then add toggles or items.

[spice ruin]

can I ask why you wouldn't want to be logged in for those downloads?

[spice ruin]

actually good to know, that's kinda cool

[jovial hamlet]

Currently doing a bunch of technical stuff with my google account so I can't make any new accounts for the next few weeks

[cerulean gazelle]

i do it for vrc bands

[jovial hamlet]

I tried sketchfab cuz it uses Epic Games instead of that but sadly it's got an age limit

[spice ruin]

ah, I see - can't you make a separate email for modeling in the meantime?

[cerulean gazelle]

i can give u my alt email

[spice ruin]

omg please dont share your email with strangers

[jovial hamlet]

Please don't do that 😢

[spice ruin]

even if it's an alt email

[jovial hamlet]

Don't give me your email for the love of gah

[cerulean gazelle]

i have 10 email acs

[jovial hamlet]

Doesn't change anything 😭

[spice ruin]

even if they're throwaway emails there's usually still information that can be traced back to you

[jovial hamlet]

yea

[cerulean gazelle]

true

[jovial hamlet]

ESPECIALLY don't send those in a server with so many ppl

[cerulean gazelle]

i was gonna add u and send you it through dms

but still ur right

[jovial hamlet]

anywhos

Would you guys potentially have any models that could fit what I'm tryna make? [Gimmie a sec I'm digging up the Ref sheets]

or would that be too much effort

[somber sequoia]

you should choose something that fits your preferences, not ours

[spice ruin]

i would if mine weren't paid 😅

[worn kiln]

am I.....seeing scammer or just basic comms recommandation??

[jovial hamlet]

😔

Maybe I should just go from scratch

[spice ruin]

where?

[gaunt knoll]

basic comms looks like xD
Tony wants blood today huh

[worn kiln]

recommand from newbie user be really sussy so

[spice ruin]

im so confused on what you think is someone trying to scam lol

[worn kiln]

(I'm not talking about you but other one)
Yeap, because it fit common pattern of scammer.

[spice ruin]

who mango?

or mark, something about the emails

[worn kiln]

anyway, I just keep a eye.
If they ever scam you, report to #discord-tickets , will act on it.

[spice ruin]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

fair enough

[gaunt knoll]

https://tenor.com/view/officer-doofy-salute-doofy-gilmore-scary-movie-gif-1582138271910678587

noooo

dam

[worn kiln]

this channel has special perm set somehow so I also not has perm...

[gaunt knoll]

nooo dam but doofy

[worn kiln]

xd
(somewhat attach file works instead)

[spice ruin]

yeah for images and videos and such

just no embedded links

[gaunt knoll]

wait

...

[spice ruin]

oh hey look at that

is that an uploaded gif file lol

[worn kiln]

anyway....don't spam.

[burnt bridge]

i need help 😭😭 i made an avatar with premade assets and everything seems fine.. until i open it in vrchat and i see that im still t posing 🥹

[somber sequoia]

ugh, please don't with the images

[spice ruin]

awe okay

[somber sequoia]

possibly you didn't set up the rig as humanoid

[burnt bridge]

i set it ashumanoid

[somber sequoia]

but is it actually? Any errors about that?

[burnt bridge]

lemme check

[somber sequoia]

does it work in play mode with AV3 emulator or Gesture Manager?

[sour sphinx]

just curious before i actually try this myself, if i go over the 256 synced bits, will it make my avatar not work

[somber sequoia]

it will not allow you to upload

(last I checked anyway)

[sour sphinx]

how do people make those avatars then that have face tracking and still lots of toggles and color switches, options, etc

[night ember]

how much do you think those toggles consume?

[burnt bridge]

so i tried doing gesture manager and it looks like this

[sour sphinx]

apparently a lot since i have less than half of my paramaters as my own toggles and its already at its limit

[night ember]

what do you even have on that avatar

[somber sequoia]

doesn't seem like the rig is right or things aren't weight painted

[sour sphinx]

not that much -.-

[somber sequoia]

it shouldn't be t-posing there.

[burnt bridge]

how to fix

[somber sequoia]

dunno what's wrong yet

show the inspector with the avatar descriptor and the animator component

[night ember]

you say not that much and then you have 38 bool toggles

[spice ruin]

a lot of those avatars have selectors that use the sliders to pick clothing and such

[night ember]

then you have 10 floats equalling 80 parameter memory

[spice ruin]

so indead of having "shirt 1" "shirt 2" "shirt 3" etc, it's just "shirt" and depending on the value it swaps between them

[night ember]

thats still a lot of crap on the avatar

[spice ruin]

for sure, but it'd still allow them to upload it at least I assume :P

[somber sequoia]

a) 3 animator layers means this is not humanoid.
b) you need working controllers in those, or they need to be the default

c) no 'avatar' in the animator's avatar slot - this is probably the root cause

[night ember]

thats over 6 submenus

stop trying to shove everything onto a singular avatar

[spice ruin]

that too

could always have multiple different uploaded avatars with different clothing

[burnt bridge]

wdym working controllers

im new to all this 😭

[somber sequoia]

3 animation controller slots in your image, yet the first two slots have nothing in them - they need to, or you 'x' it so it becomes the default. But 'c' is the root cause, fix that first. Drag your avatar from the model file into there

I admit I'm not sure which object you need, I've never had to do this

[spice ruin]

the avatar that i uploaded and have been working on I just chose a clothing set that I like and deleted everything else that I wasn't going to use - cut down my file size by half

[somber sequoia]

not really sure how that happens, I'd guess not doing the humanoid rigging setup properly

[somber sequoia]

cool

how many animator slots in the descriptor now?

[night ember]

what model even is that?

[somber sequoia]

much better, this is now correct

[burnt bridge]

i made it with assets

[night ember]

that didnt answer my question

[burnt bridge]

wdym model

[somber sequoia]

weird your avatar isn't at 0,0,0 too

[night ember]

what model is the "vrbase anime flat foot"

[burnt bridge]

its the model from zinpia

[night ember]

how did you even put it together like did you just drag parts in unity or did you actually put it into blender

[burnt bridge]

yeah so what i did was get other assets from other creaters, dragged the first part (the base model) into the scene inside unity as well as the others

[burnt bridge]

wdym

im so sorry for causing sm trouble ;w;\

[somber sequoia]

I'm not sure how to simplify that

[spice ruin]

0,0,0 is your avatar's x, y, and z coordinates within the scene view

[spice ruin]

usually it's better to have it at 0,0,0

[somber sequoia]

it may not be a problem... but it could be in some cases

[night ember]

the transform doesnt matter cause when uploaded itll always get put to 0,0,0 0,0,0

[spice ruin]

i think my avatar right now is at a super weird transform, mostly cause it's not even t-posing lol

[burnt bridge]

ahhhhh okokokok

[spice ruin]

I messed something up when trying to make my own animation and just haven't bothered to fix it since... it still works ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[misty flax]

Sorry for asking but can sm upload an avi for me im kinda broke so i made it on the school laptop its not a lot it’s just some toggles as well so dm me if you can help me for free

[spice ruin]

on the school laptop is crazy

respect

[placid mica]

If u made it already in unity I'm sure you can upload yourself... Look up video tutorials if u need

[somber sequoia]

that's not Unity

[misty flax]

I did this on my school laptop and unity hub is blocked

[placid mica]

Gotcha

[misty flax]

Thanks!

[spice ruin]

I'm not the one to help unfortunately - is it already rigged and everything though?

[misty flax]

Yeah

[placid mica]

I know, just couldn't tell if it was unwillingness to do it themselves or if there was another reason

[misty flax]

It’s rigged the base was rigged

[misty flax]

Hey think you might be able to help me

Sorry to ask

[spice ruin]

I just say since I wouldn't get your hopes up if it's much more than just an fbx import and such

[placid mica]

Yeah, what Maeve said. Unfortunately I'm not willing to do anything without a bit of compensation and I'm sure that's the case for many other people. Sorry

[spice ruin]

Does someone else in your family have a laptop you can use?

[misty flax]

No problem if you can’t you can’t! If you know someone send em over to me!

[spice ruin]

It's also another thing of risk since if you have assets you have permission for but we don't, then there's a copyright issue

[placid mica]

And you should be wary who you're giving your account details to for uploading avatars.

[misty flax]

Ok!

[spice ruin]

Ah true, didn't even think about that lol

yeah be extremely careful with personal info online

[tribal cipher]

Might you be able to find a virtual device you can use to download Unity and upload the avatar?

One of those that gets wiped after you're done?

[placid mica]

Clever solution!

[tribal cipher]

only problem is you would need to cram it all into one session that you have with your school computer, assuming it isn't a take-home sort of thing

[spice ruin]

I'd assume if unity is blocked then any VMs would be as well

[tribal cipher]

What would you mean by "blocked"?

[spice ruin]

Not to say it isn't worth a try though

[tribal cipher]

What school wouldn't block Discord?

[spice ruin]

Schools usually have some sites / software that students aren't allowed to go to or install for security purposes

[spice ruin]

Well... many

[night ember]

schools blocking game websites like cool math for "security reasons"

[spice ruin]

Can you use a virtual device through discord to install unity...?

nah fr

then you gotta find those niche google sites pages with html games

[cerulean gazelle]

hey it doesnt let me import the blender model i made

[night ember]

well did you export fbx

[placid mica]

You may be able to do it through mobile instead of the (what I assume) is a Chromebook

[cerulean gazelle]

and when i try to export as fbx it doesnt work

[spice ruin]

What sorts of things are you seeing when you try to export?

[placid mica]

Specify "doesnt work". What happens? What errors are you seeing?

[tribal cipher]

Download a bunch of flash games and go to https://ruffle.rs/ and go to town.

[cerulean gazelle]

a bunch of codes and shi

[tribal cipher]

Codes like...

[spice ruin]

knowing my school they probably blocked that site lol

[somber sequoia]

we can't help you unless you provide detailed information

[somber sequoia]

huh, 3.6

and this error happens when exactly?

[cerulean gazelle]

yea

when i click the folder i want it to go in

[tribal cipher]

Looks to be an error with one of your lights, but I don't know why that would happen.

[night ember]

why do you have lights, cameras, and bezier curves in the scene there

[somber sequoia]

again, please explain in detail what you are doing. Show the export dialog too

[tribal cipher]

Light and camera come with the default scene layout. Curves are probably part of the mesh.

[night ember]

and you typically dont want to export lights or cameras

[somber sequoia]

curves are curves, not part of mesh.

[tribal cipher]

Yeah so probably just delete them or select only the parts you want and export based on selection..

[night ember]

I dont even see an armature on that model

[somber sequoia]

oh weird, it just breaks before the dialog even comes up. Dunno - I'd say switch to a modern blender

[tribal cipher]

I think they just recorded the blender window and not the popup.

[somber sequoia]

maybe try in the blender discord

oh - well we need to see that then

[tribal cipher]

The mouse moved like as to click the button.

[somber sequoia]

(I don't know how screen recording works in windows)

[night ember]

depends on how you are recording and what you are recording

[cerulean gazelle]

yea the recording broke

[placid mica]

Yeah they have it just recording their blender and not their full screen, so we didn't see the export options on the recording

[tribal cipher]

I usually just be lazy and use xbox game bar.

[spice ruin]

mostly the same as something like obs - in window recording it just records the window, but for this purpose you'd want desktop recording

[night ember]

me when snipping tool comes with a screen recorder

[spice ruin]

dammit you type too fast

[night ember]

shouldve just said I am sped

[tribal cipher]

I considered it.

[placid mica]

Pffff I was kinda hoping for that

[spice ruin]

i am speemaild

[night ember]

speemail

isnt there a red e

[tribal cipher]

In a different universe that's probably an email company name.

[night ember]

🅰️

[tribal cipher]

My favorite blood type.

[night ember]

why is the A so special

[spice ruin]

🅰️ 🆎 🅱️ 🅾️ blood types

wuh

is that the blood type that the avatars use

is that how we keep this on topic

[cerulean gazelle]

i got it to work

[tribal cipher]

Avatars have Chloorine as their blood type.

[tribal cipher]

You don't have an armature though.

[spice ruin]

ah yes, b o n e s

very useful

[night ember]

no wonder the people wearing them are so toxic

[tribal cipher]

They just need sodium abd they'd be strong enough to take on ice.

(It's a chemistry pun if you weren't aware.)

[spice ruin]

hell yeah, chemistry

[cerulean gazelle]

how do i export the avi to vrchat in unity?

[night ember]

chemistry is incredibly stupid yes

[spice ruin]

easiest way is to use the vrchat creator companion as it comes with all the packages you need for a simple upload

[night ember]

just drag in the fbx

[spice ruin]

if your fbx doesn't have armature (bones), you won't be able to control it

iirc it won't let you upload it either

[cerulean gazelle]

i already have bones

[spice ruin]

okay good :)

but yeah if you're just on the fbx model stage and you haven't done any of the configuring within unity, there's still a fair bit you have to do before it's uploadable

this video is a few years outdated, but I believe it still has everything you need for setup :)
https://youtu.be/bSwMz4WcajQ?t=120

starting at 2:00 is where the unity hub comes into play

"legally binding checkbox" 😂

yeah the control panel will look a bit different but it's pretty self explanatory

[spare mason]

i am having a problem when i make a mrc expression menu, i get infinite loading and a popup saying "Inspector.InitOrRebuild Waiting for unity code to finish exectuting" anyone know a fix, i have reimported everything, tried diffrent unity versions, diffrent package versions, even betas, and even diffrent hardrives

[spice ruin]

wait no fucking way you're the keana i know

that's actually crazy

i unfortunately dont know how to help but hi

[night ember]

wdym by different unity versions cause vrchat requires specifically 2022.3.22f1

[spice ruin]

i've actually always been curious about that - not to get too off topic, but do you know why they don't use updated versions?

assuming it's just an "if it aint broke dont fix it" situation

[night ember]

compatibility

[spice ruin]

fair enough

[spice ruin]

as they said above, make sure you're using 2022.3.22f1, but you can also try disabling gameobjects one by one to see if there's anything specific causing it

From what I'm seeing online at least is usually a compatibility issue

[spare mason]

i was originally but it also supports 3.6f1 and tried that

also hellow again maeve long time no see

right now rebuilding again, after removing my library

[cerulean gazelle]

everytime i try to open a project through creator companion it tells me it didnt work it says there are missing files so tbh idk if i can upload my avi

[spice ruin]

you mean uploading a unitypackage or an already created cc project?

[cerulean gazelle]

no when i create one

[unborn nacelle]

how do i put my first avatar like my second one, without the outfit bending when my hand bends?

does it have to do with the pink color? idk what that is

[spice ruin]

check to make sure you have the VRChat Package Resolver Tool, the VRChat Base SDK, and the VRChat Avatar SDK installed in the creator companion

Those should be all that you need to make an avatar project with it

[hasty plover]

Anyone know what’s causing this line appeared whenever I used the paint-bucket on my characters eye liner?

[spare mason]

where are you painting? on the model or on the texture?

[hasty plover]

what do you mean? When I use the paint bucket on the model it puts a line on it and when I use the paint bucket on the other screen it still puts a line on it. Let me see if I can screen record it…

[spare mason]

looks like the second outfit needs to be weight painted yet, you can try auto weighting when you reparent to the armature

[spare mason]

do you click on the left view or the right view, if its the right view it is likly a uv issue, if the left problably a hidden pixel thing or ui bug

[unborn nacelle]

but i dont want the mesh of my outfit to bend with my hands. The problem is if i put blue, it also bugs, it disconnects completely or something, so idk exaclty how to fix it

[spare mason]

oh that would require a little manual work but start with that and then add red to the arms part or what ever you want to move and remove the red from the vertex groups/bones you do not want to move, if you are using cats, it has a button to also merge weights to parents to make it easier. many ways of doing it

[hasty plover]

I took a video of it helps. I figured it would be better to show then explain cause I’m not sure how to explain it

[cerulean gazelle]

tryna figure out how to make bones because somehow i dont have any for my avi

can anyone tell me how to rig my avi

[spice ruin]

all i said was woah free money 😭

wait i probably look schizo now

[spice ruin]

that would require quite a bit more than a simple explanation here

I'd suggest finding a tutorial of sorts online tbh

[cerulean gazelle]

oh

alr

[spice ruin]

assume you mean creating bones and mapping them to vertices :P

[cerulean gazelle]

yea

[burnt nova]

can you use toon standard on quest hue shft and emmisson stuff seems crazy

[heavy zephyr]

Yes, it was made for quest to give them more options than the previous very limited shaders we had for years, it's great

[unkempt iris]

does anyone know why the normals get flipped between unity and blender? its only happening on 2 meshes , both have solidify modifier if it helps

may have found a fix !! just small update

[zinc thunder]

is there a way to have a material that's just the color attribute and not any textures?

[ornate stump]

If you don't assign texture, it will be just a color.

[unkempt iris]

okok i have another question since ive never done toggles before

would i need to use armature link and blendshape link for clothing toggles if the clothes are already parented and weightpainted to the armature in blender?

or would just the toggle component be ok

ussinggg vrcfury

[ornate stump]

If it's separated object then you still need blendshape link.

[unkempt iris]

okay thank you!

[unkempt iris]

i have one last thing to do on unity and couldnt find any tutorials on it 😭

theres this avatar i like that has a shader change tied to the pulling of a lightswitch on the head, you cant switch the shader any other way either than pulling the switch which does have physbones!

how do i make a shader change tied to pulling a certain set of physbones 😭

https://vrchat.com/home/avatar/avtr_d48a5c0e-e702-48a4-b191-2ad9d2d2115b
^ this is the avatar im talking about

[ornate stump]

You just have to change the material.

[unkempt iris]

😭 could you explain more..?

[ornate stump]

You make 2 material with different shaders. Then you record animation that change material in the renderer, or tell vrcfury to do material change.

[unkempt iris]

okay thank youu

[river jewel]

hey so uuuh, decided to use a float param, the robe being the default state, butttttt now I cant get it off, so can anyone help me out with that? :'D

[ornate stump]

You should use int param for toggle. And you shoud not have dedicate "Off" state if you use transition from AnyState.

[river jewel]

I am using an int parameter tho ;-;

[ornate stump]

You said you use float param?

[river jewel]

I tried that

but sadly it failed

so I'm resorting to int

[ornate stump]

There should not be this part

[proven quail]

So make an animation going through every clothing toggle, cloak on, cloak off hoodie on, etc, then set the motion time to a float and put the float on a radial

[river jewel]

oooh

[river jewel]

the thing is with my first ever upload I somehow was able to make toggles using a float parameter without the reliance of a radial menu

I wanted to do the same thing here but

that failed ;-;

[river jewel]

I took those two off and the same issue still remains

god hates me

[ornate stump]

There is no reliance on god for this topic. It's just purely on your knowledge and skill. Did you have animation that turn off the hoodie?

Because since you make it default on in the scene, you have to make off animation for it.

[river jewel]

ye I still do

I have animation clips that turn every outfit on AND off

[ornate stump]

Just checking first, are all of your toggle "mutual exclusive"?

[river jewel]

the thing is, every toggle is able to transition from one another, all except that one robe, and the only time that thing turns off is at the VERY last toggle

[river jewel]

mutual exclusive??

[ornate stump]

That means only one toggle can be active at a time.

[river jewel]

I wanna do that but I dont think I got it on :c

[ornate stump]

Is that what you're trying to do currently?

[river jewel]

yup yup :D

das what im tryna do

[ornate stump]

Did you put the robe off animation into one of the state from AnyState?

[proven quail]

Instead of having off animations for all of the outfits, just make each animation for each toggle set all other clothing to off. So animation for cloak is cloak on hoodie off etc, and hoodie is cloak off hoodie on etc.

[river jewel]

no, I removed it like you mentioned remember?

[ornate stump]

Having each animation that set all the clothing on and off would be a safest bet.

[river jewel]

that was a bad idea wasnt it

[ornate stump]

Having 2 transitions depth with AnyState already is a bad idea to begin with.

[river jewel]

shit on a brickkkkk

what do i doooo?

[ornate stump]

Having each animation do toggle on and off on all the clothing.

For example: animation for the robe, record the robe on, and record the rest of the cloth off in the same animation.

[river jewel]

I add those two transitions on a singular animation clip?

[ornate stump]

I did not say anything about transition.

[river jewel]

oooh yeaaa I meant toggle

like, I make one animation clip which toggles an outfit on and off

right?

[ornate stump]

Not sure if you still understand it correctly. It's more like you already have animation clip for turning on a single cloth, then you should edit it to make it turn off other cloths.

[river jewel]

ooooooh

oooh thats what you meant

silly me why didnt I think of that

I understand it now

[ornate stump]

It's the safest since you don't rely on default states.

[river jewel]

imma try it ^^

[river jewel]

it frggin worked LETS GOOOOOOO

THANKS @ornate stump

appreciate it

[half ice]

Is there an add-on that sorts everything and cleans everything up, for example, things I don't need in Unity?

where can i finde it

[balmy barn]

[half ice]

hell yeah scamer

hell yeah

do you need money ??

why you deleting evrything ?

[fresh jacinth]

Get a job that isn't scamming people then, your boss is taking most of it anyways

[half ice]

lol

[balmy barn]

doubt it, show anything from blender , also using ai images for your picture is a great idea to showcase

[half ice]

go work

and sending me add as well lool

[half ice]

did you see the pic he send ?

or she

[worn kiln]

have a pleasant day

[balmy barn]

yup , ive used online/offline ai image generators and it can spit out identical one pretty easy

[fresh jacinth]

All cleaned up

[balmy barn]

bored i like to test things like running ai local with a vrm model that yaps

[half ice]

anyway Can anyone answer me? ?? lol

[half ice]

.

[fresh jacinth]

You might need to be more specific I think, not sure I know of any tools that do that

[balmy barn]

library is the only thing you can clean up fast it can build up from old stuff you deleted ( its a big cache ) , but dont know a single program that can check for you

[half ice]

An answer that's realistic, not like the scammer's one up there lol, thanks

[balmy barn]

when we went from unity 2019 to 2022 i nuked my library folder it was enourmous 1.2 million + files , now is barely 120k

[half ice]

BTW great work thank you, and have a good day

[fluid iron]

Hey sorry I was asleep but what im trying to do is to make a avatar and I don’t knows were to start

[half ice]

do you have blender or unity already ?

[fluid iron]

No I don’t yet

[half ice]

It took me a year to understand everything, I had to figure a lot out myself, learn it, and try things out.

[fluid iron]

Oh wow a year that’s a long time

[half ice]

I mean, as a beginner, you can upload avatars in Unity to VR Chat and try to understand it all. I advise you against watching videos from https://www.youtube.com/@AskAmberOfficial

[fluid iron]

K

[half ice]

And if you need anything, just ask the people here. It's one of the best communities, but dont trust everyone...... lol

[fluid iron]

Okay

Thank you

[half ice]

your welc

[half ice]

do you even have a pc to start with ?

[fluid iron]

No… I’m on my phone

[neon trail]

Can anyone help me, I really wanna start creating avatars and I use vroid studio as a starter for the base and facial features, can I still add booth accessories, clothes, hair etc to it if I place the base in unity?

[half ice]

OMG LOL hahahah i cant hahaahhaah

you cant start with only your phone

[fluid iron]

Oppp

[half ice]

Who knows, maybe all these apps will becomes available on our phones in a few years. So technically , you live in the future.

[fluid iron]

Yeah

[jovial hamlet]

Is this any good? ;w; [first time modeling humanoid]

-# 😢

[ornate stump]

It's alright.

[open jay]

is there an easy explanation for why my model in unity looks like this but in game this I only get a green box?

[balmy barn]

offline thing shows bounding boxes , uploaded ones dont, if you have anything using constraints it can be abit wierd

[burnt compass]

Hi, I'd like to export my avatar, but since I clicked Build & Publish, I haven't seen any response in this state. Does anyone know a solution?

[balmy barn]

scroll up in sdk window , look for (auto fix) or just red errors in general

[burnt compass]

I've solved all the errors that can be solved with the outo fix.

[lilac musk]

What other errors are left?

If any

[minor geode]

how do i enable being able to play/collide with phys bones with your hands? it doesnt seem to work

[open jay]

Hello, still trying to figure out why my model is showing up invisible when i attempt to use the SDK to build these are the errors that pop up in the console, I have clear the blueprint everytime but that one still keeps coming up, does the other error mean anything to anyone?

[balmy barn]

neither of them mean much

[lone shoal]

bumping this

[indigo compass]

Try a plane collider, although the particles may or may not suddenly increase in velocity when passing through it from the back.

[lone shoal]

its a sphere tho 💀

[balmy barn]

change it to plane, they are infinite in one direction tho

[lone shoal]

ok ill try that

[balmy barn]

you get a square like this and a line

[indigo compass]

A mesh collider using the mesh of a quad might work?

[lone shoal]

so just a mesh collider that isn’t a complete 3D shape?

[indigo compass]

Yeah

[lone shoal]

ill also try that thanks

[median stream]

Can i add another radial to change skin texture in expressions for pc only without any issues for quest?
In recent times, for quests, some cloth toggles didn't work at all. when i did that, so it makes me wonder if adding another toggle will break something for the quest version?

[somber sequoia]

You can have a totally different menu for quest, but you should use the same parameters list for both

it's ok to have parameters in there which are only used in one version

[tidal turtle]

Hi guys, any idea on where to put all those images in a lilToon material pls ?

[spice ruin]

Hey all, I'm currently learning how to use the animator instead of VRCFury, and thankfully I'm starting to understand it, but I've been trying to make a "boop" trigger that plays the animation when my hands open (happy face), and when I try and test it out nothing happens in the animator nor in scene view.

Right now, I have the animation on my gesture layer (not sure if I should have it elsewhere), but even when I manually change the "boop" float to 1, the animator doesn't change or try and trigger anything.

Manually changing float:

[balmy barn]

avoid any state for this, default has 'can transition to self' and it can cause wierdness - use bool not a float unless you want something to change depending how deep somethig is in the contact

[spice ruin]

Yeah I figured that would be a problem - weird ass tutorial i'm following lol

So should I change the transitions to be from the entry state then?

[median stream]

Having a different menu just seems to break things for me. is there a way to check both the PC and Quest avatars at once, like using the Gesture manager emulator?
I don't want to go look for quest users and ask them so they can check if the avatar is properly working

[somber sequoia]

at once? No

[median stream]

I see, thank you

[balmy barn]

yup ** [ wait ] < bool false | bool true > [ do stuff ]** , can be added in blendtree but first get it working (theres one exsample where someone touch back it sends av flying and reverse animation to stand up after x seconds)

name not right but that work

[spice ruin]

I honestly think my "work" with vrcfury has messed up some of the animators, so I'm gonna have to bring in my unchanged backup avatar when I get back from class just for clarity sake lol

I've only done some model and texture editing so I wouldn't lose anything

[stoic bobcat]

not sure why these happen, I do have the toggles as a bool, maybe they need to be ints?

[timber wharf]

you need to have them in both versions and pc always being uploaded first if you changed anything about parameters

https://vrcfury.com/tutorials/quest/

[stoic bobcat]

ohhh ok

i had it switched to quest, i see

never had that happen but good to know thats all i need to do

[stoic bobcat]

not sure what I did wrong, fingers just wont go back to its original position

[somber sequoia]

can you show the state machine here, and indicate where these ^ components are?

[stoic bobcat]

youre talking about the transitions right?

[somber sequoia]

no - the layer in the animator is basically a state machine, I meant that.

[stoic bobcat]

this? 😬 if im getting it wrong sorry, im really not used to the actual terms 😭

[somber sequoia]

That. "and indicate where [the tracking control] components are"

[dense snow]

I just tried the VRC parent constraint and it does nothing. The built in unity parent constraint works as intended but VRC's fails to do the same

[somber sequoia]

ah, I guess I can see that from those images. Looks fine.

[somber sequoia]

is it activated? Show images of each.

[stoic bobcat]

yeah, everything is fine, had this issue before but i dont remember what I did to actually get it to work

[balmy barn]

dont need tracking control if the parameter for toggle also set hand to proxy_fist/custom animation (in gesture controller)

same if it a toggle, have an avatar...somewhere that has it

[vapid slate]

okay so im uploading this avatar... and it says theres a missing script, im really good with removing missing scripts but i cant find this one anywhere and its getting on my nerves, any suggestions? :')

[balmy barn]

path to script folder is a hint

console likely yell at you its missing

[dense snow]

I want absolute power of the XYZ data of the parent constraint, but apparently the constraint only works if its LOCKED?????? and the data for XYZ becomes uncontrollable when its locked??????

[vapid slate]

ive already tried...

[somber sequoia]

What are you trying to do, change that at runtime? You could instead change the position of the object it's locked to

[dense snow]

I want to holster a gun correctly and place it in either hand

[balmy barn]

gameobjects it is

[somber sequoia]

Sure, easy enough, I've done that. How is your setup right now?

[dense snow]

holster has a bone, gun has a bone, hands got bones

[somber sequoia]

no need for them to be actual bones, but okay

[dense snow]

constraints are set with different weights per anim

uh what

[somber sequoia]

the targets of the constraint can be any game object

including an empty

[dense snow]

oh of course

[balmy barn]

gameobjects easy to adjust just plonk one in each hand and on hip ect

[dense snow]

Oooooooh now i remember how i did it last time

[balmy barn]

just remember to set transition fast or they float over to it

[dense snow]

its been a long ass time since i made an avatar

[somber sequoia]

Yep, make targets objects for the positions, it's much easier.

[somber sequoia]

sometimes that's fun though

[dense snow]

i forgot how i did this before

[vapid slate]

can someone help me, this is driving me insane T-T

[dense snow]

so instead of trying to animate the gun, i animate an empty game object what is actually parented

and the gun follows

[balmy barn]

been working on a av that can take off shoes touching + fist to grab, release fist it drops to ground can be held on either hand using contacts, but i forgot how short my arms are so it was annoying to test cannot-reach-feet

[somber sequoia]

not really, you'll have to search

but if you hit play the console might actually tell you which object it's on

[somber sequoia]

I did this with a skateboard, intended to make it grabbable but the first try had the contact lower than my physical floor

[vapid slate]

it says "nyx darkish [clone]" but there is no clones?

[balmy barn]

probably should post the error it says whats missing

[somber sequoia]

there's a clone if you're using one of the emulator tools

[somber sequoia]

is it not on the root object?

[vapid slate]

no

[balmy barn]

whatever that is has a script , search hiarchy for nyx i guess

[vapid slate]

i did T-T

thats all i get

[balmy barn]

then you check inspector

[vapid slate]

got it working, thanks yall

[stoic bobcat]

just was following the tutorials and what I did on a perivous avatar that worked

[clear gust]

Hey, quick question 👋

I’m using Warren’s Fast Fur Shader and I want certain areas of the fur to glow/react to AudioLink — like normal AudioLink emission — but without controlling fur length or other fur parameters.

So basically:
Just masked emission reacting to AudioLink, while the fur shader still works normally.

Has anyone done this before or knows the best way to set it up?

Thanks! 🙏

[spice ruin]

omg omg omg i feel so dumb

i was using the wrong animation I thought the "proxy_hands_open" was the face animation not just the hands 😭

anyways it's working now lmao thanks so much for the help

[stoic bobcat]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOGc8CetyXs&list=PLt8qiEFqNHFkPqpKLnVRx-G78mGvjPbFt&index=11 was trying to do this but it doesnt seem like it correctly returns to the open state

[hexed knoll]

Is there an easy way to use the knife tool to cut of the transparent part

[somber sequoia]

the easy way is to use the knife tool 🙂

[odd crow]

hello, ima really new to unity and i bought some textures for the novabeast avatar by kittomatic and im unsure how to bring the textures from my files into unity. i extract the files and they turn into a png

[somber sequoia]

yes - you want textures to be PNG files

[odd crow]

ok, how to i get the png into unity?

[gaunt knoll]

Drag and drop it in

[somber sequoia]

yeah - just put it into the project's Assets folder somewhere

[odd crow]

im unable to drag them in, it just gives me a red cross

[somber sequoia]

I certainly know very little about file management in Windows, I'd assume that would work.

[stray sand]

hi

[spice ruin]

Make sure you’re trying to drag the file into the assets section of unity - if you try and drag it somewhere else in unity it probably won’t work

Should be the bottom window with all your files and folders within the project

[hazy dagger]

How can i make my own avatar or well animate it like Taggynn old ones hsd, anims for aiming the gun, having the gun fown, add sfx, options like one with helldivers stratagems, world moving like spaning in a thing, cuz on pc optiond are pretty limited and dont have the budget for vr

[wanton cedar]

Is there a way for me to see only the rim of the hat when in first person mode? Im not quite sure where to put the bounding box

[reef kraken]

i cant figure out whats causing the hair to be brighter than the body. there's no emission and ive colored picked it multiple times on the texture. they are both using poi toon and the same shading settings (@ me on reply pls)

[night ember]

Thats not a boundung box issue

The hat needs to have its own bone with the headchop component

[wanton cedar]

Whats the headchop component??

[night ember]

Tells the game to scale something when it triggers headchop

Headchop is the entire reason why you arent seeing the inside of your own head

[wanton cedar]

do i put it on the hat mesh itself or the prefab?

[night ember]

Whatever you want to not be scaled to 0 when headchop is triggered

[wanton cedar]

Alright, thanks

[stoic bobcat]

why would you want to do that though?

[wanton cedar]

is there a way to stop the hat from blocking my view? its been doing this before the head chop component . It's like the top part of the hat is inside my view since i can sometimes see the rope around the base. It isn't really in my way in unity though, so im not sure what's wrong

[stoic bobcat]

what is the hat rigged to

[wanton cedar]

It's its own prefab with a parent constraint to the head and hand. Dunno if that makes sense

[stoic bobcat]

i think you can headchop it to make it not visible when its on your head

[wanton cedar]

And how am I supposed to do that? what settings on headchop do i use

[stoic bobcat]

no clue, almost never need to use headchop srry

i just dont know why it would appear, its linked to your head

unless its not dragged to your head

is the prefab dragged onto your head? try putting it on your head instead of dragging it on the whole model

[wanton cedar]

I think I had an issue last time with it not wanting to stick to my hand when i dragged it onto the head

[stoic bobcat]

not sure then :/

maybe put it on the head and remove the constraint making it constrain to the head? not too sure

[wanton cedar]

yeah no, moving it didnt help

i love vision

[stoic bobcat]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOGc8CetyXs still having issues with doing this, got it to work before, but right now i cant move my fingers and when i turn the toggle off it stays in its closed pose I made

[night ember]

set scaling to 0

[wanton cedar]

on all the settings or just one. since theres global and then the other setting. i forget its name

[night ember]

doesnt matter

[rapid hazel]

so i am working on a protogen from a vrc avatar to a vrm vtuber, but my issue is the eyes sit behind the visor and it dosent show up how would i fix that?

[warped yarrow]

anyone know why gogoloco levitate would break? was working before i uploaded quest version of my avi.

actually now i say that, none of it works. would fbt break it?

[crude anvil]

how do i get past this?

[ornate stump]

Try installing unity via unity hub instead.

[crude anvil]

this one?

[warped yarrow]

yeah. should automatically install hub

[ornate stump]

That's a standalone installer, that will make installing additional module more difficult.

[crude anvil]

so i gotta do this first

I wanna make sure i dont screw this up the instructions specifically told me to download and install a specific version of Unity hub and not the current one

I wanna make sure i dont install the wrong version

[warped yarrow]

https://vcc.docs.vrchat.com/guides/getting-started/

[ornate stump]

There is no "specific version of unity hub". You could just get it right there.

[warped yarrow]

follow those instructions

[proven quail]

The hub can be current, the unity needs to be a specific version.

This unity version

[ornate stump]

VCC failed to install unity so we are using unity hub to install it.

[crude anvil]

Is the security alert ruining anything when I follow the instructions?

[proven quail]

The security alert is something you can ignore, that's for game developers. Vrchat patched the exploit out of Vrchat so it's all good

[crude anvil]

What's next after this. Do I check everything

[proven quail]

Download Android and iOS compatibility while you are there, you will need them later when uploading to quest and iOS

And uncheck visual studio, you don't need it

[balmy barn]

rest ignore

[proven quail]

Basically what thulen said yeah

[crude anvil]

i thought something would happen once it finishes

what now?

do i skip setup?

[ornate stump]

That's for installing Latest Unity so skip.

[ornate stump]

Then you go in vcc settings and set the unity exe path for it.

[crude anvil]

wait a minute

i dont understand

i set up the path

but the editor doesnt work?

[balmy barn]

vcc is funny - notice the brackets \ is wrong

then you will get this

switch to /

[crude anvil]

ah crap i messed up didnt i

[ornate stump]

Cancel out and go to Settings tab instead.

[crude anvil]

somethings wrong

i cant

maybe i gotta reopen the program

there we go

wait

i cant switch to /

[balmy barn]

its not yelling at you so should be fine, mine does that

[crude anvil]

It yells?

[crude anvil]

Well I guess this means is successfully installed

Am I good to go or there another step i have to take

Im trying to update my avatar

i need all of these right?

[ornate stump]

No.

[balmy barn]

av3 / gesture manager either can be handy ( i use av3 to test things in unity )

can add these anytime in project

[crisp nebula]

genuinely can't figure out what to do here

the avatar descriptor and rig are configured properly and I've already restarted the editor

didn't even change anything on the quest version, just had to reupload it since I updated the pc version after not touching the project for a month or so

[crude anvil]

i can now execute an exeriment i wanted to do

Which leads me to ask a question.
When it comes to importing models do I have to adjust the camera to the head of the character?

If so. Where can I actually do that

[balmy barn]

you dont want a camera on avatar it highjacks your viewpoint wich you set in avatar descriptor

[crude anvil]

This one has a camera on it but i can't find it

Wait... is that bad?

this must be where the camera is

not what i expected though

[left wharf]

As thulen said, you might need to fix view position in VRC Avatar Descriptor.
Also don't forget to fix missing scripts error (VRCFury might be needed? see your avatar's store page to know all deps)

[crude anvil]

Whats vrcfury?

Do i have to install that?

[ornate stump]

You are in the prefab editing mode which you shouldn't. Exit the mode by clicking the Scenes button.

[left wharf]

It's a non-destructive avatar modification tool.
you'll need it if you want to use gimmicks that depend on it (such as GogoLoco)

[crude anvil]

Gogoloco is in here. How do I install vrcfury

[left wharf]

google it

it should be in the top of the results

[crude anvil]

there we go

now to mess with that camera

[left wharf]

great
then add vrcfury to your project

[left wharf]

you can't edit camera directly
if you want to adjust view position, set view position in VRC Avatar Descriptor instead
or am I misreading your post and missing out on what you really want to do?

[crude anvil]

I want it to preview what the camera would look like

I already know what the cam looks like in game but I was hoping I could get a look here

So that I can put the camera in the right place

because this is all i see now

like how in blender you getinto viewport

and you can view the camera

[left wharf]

hmm, why do you want to do that...?
you'll see an empty scene view while previewing avatar view i think

[crude anvil]

Because i want to do an experiment with the camera

We know it can do pov shots but what if I push the camera back

Like all the way back

https://tenor.com/view/god-of-war-video-game-fighting-gif-15045140

And put it over the shoulder

[warped yarrow]

might be a silly q. but how do i use gogoloco with fbt? specifically, hover? trying to adjust my height

[crude anvil]

I just wanna see what would happen

Just an experiment thats all I just want to see it executed in game

Someone who likes to perform experiments on the game's they play

[left wharf]

hm, ok
i think that you should test in game, but you might be able to emulate it by setting camera position to be same as view point

[crude anvil]

How do I do that

[left wharf]

or if you don't know, try third-person view beta

[left wharf]

just set camera's transform position to be same as view point
and see the game tab

[left wharf]

sorry i need to go to bed (so sleepy...)

[crude anvil]

Yeah sorry I couldn't find it

[left wharf]

why did you double click the prefab? don't do that

[crude anvil]

I was trying to find it

Idk anything about this program

Its my first time here

[left wharf]

that's ok, everyone starts from zero
drag and drop the prefab into the hierarchy first

[crude anvil]

Yeah thats another thing too

This clip shows that I have. No idea what a "hierarchy" is

I dont know the terms

[left wharf]

perfect
hierarchy is the tab name

[crude anvil]

Im starting from zero zero

[crude anvil]

Oh okay

So the main camera is the pov camera from the game

Wait no its not

[left wharf]

yeah, it's not
it's just a default camera so it's on the incorrect position

[crude anvil]

Blender makes this look so easy

I actually can't find it

[left wharf]

expand Transform component, and change the position where you want
or just drag the arrows in the scene view
-# (to move in scene view, right click+wasd)

[crude anvil]

Damnit this is hard

[left wharf]

view position in VRC Avatar Descriptor is just for defining view position in game, so nothing will be changed in editor view
you might to learn unity basics first...

before you upload a bit tricky one, i recommend uploading a regular avatar first to learn basics

[crude anvil]

interesting. it didnt work... hmmm

maybe if i did something risky

oh my god.....

it worked....

and it worked the way i thought it would

but wheres my head

So other people can see my head but i cant....

https://tenor.com/view/experimenting-origins-explained-laboratory-mixing-chemicals-scientific-testing-gif-17222519

Ill have to do some research into this

Thank you all. Thank you

You were very helpful. Now I can perform my experiment

[fickle ivy]

Any ideas how to fix this? I made a robot hand but Vrchat makes the fingers all misalligned. I dont quite know how to fix this especially since the gesture layers anims are a bit confusing on how its done. Any help would be great please!

[crude anvil]

Vrcheadchop

How do I turn that off

I found out thats why im headless

[proven quail]

I think there is an addon or script you can get to change what gets head chopped and what doesn't

[proven quail]

https://vrc.school/docs/Avatars/HeadChop/

[balmy barn]

guessing its cause the hoodie should be visible - vrcheadchop keep it that way in first person , but 3rd person its gone
