[somber sequoia]

this isn't an avatar creation issue, perhaps try #1138891887374237706

[versed oriole]

ty

[stoic bobcat]

if I were to make an avatar with this many legs, would an easy solution to make it work be giving them rotation contraints?

[zenith isle]

If I bought an avatar do I have to upload it to my account? I'm kinda new to buying avatars and I'm a bit confused

[left gull]

if bought in-game then no, but if your buying the files from someones page outside the game then yes

[zenith isle]

Yeah i bought it from gumroad

they send me .unitypackage

[left gull]

then yes you'd need to upload it yourself

[zenith isle]

Oh oki

thanks for the help

[left gull]

https://discord.com/channels/189511567539306508/1139228456090087495 has some useful links that go over how-to upload stuff if you've never done it before

[zenith isle]

Thanks :)

[somber osprey]

how do I make the audio more louder?

in the actual game, tis ounds too compared comapred to unity editor

[opaque rampart]

fixed the bones in blender but now its doing this

[light heath]

How do i import a roblox model into unity i wanna make an avatar like that

I have watched tutorials an they dont make sense

[little plume]

im stuck in the weird bike pose, i cant drag materials on my model, and stuff dissapears at certain agnels

the last issue is bounding boxes i think

yes it is

because he is in the bike pose he is lowered down for some reason

this wouldnt be an issue if he wasnt in bike pose

[spark walrus]

If anybody’s good with blender and unity, me and my friend need some help on an avatar that I’m trying to get uploaded, all add them into a group chat with them and we can explain everything

we could use a extra couple of hands

[lilac musk]

Just describe what you're having trouble with and if anyone can help will reply

[spark walrus]

Oki

Inhale

[scenic ether]

this guy really said "inhale" then said nothing

[scenic ether]

In your VRC parameters you have those parameters in it but not being used in your animator

Go to your main parameters and remove them if you arent using em

[scenic ether]

Are you still having this issue?

[little plume]

Yes

[scenic ether]

The way I fix that issue is using Pumpkin's avatar tools

https://github.com/rurre/PumkinsAvatarTools

[little plume]

Will this fix me not being able to click my mesh or apply materials?

[scenic ether]

Possibbly? Have you tried restarting unity/throwing another prefab in to see if its a hardware issue or if its a unity issue

[light heath]

Why is the view point so far away from the avatar and i cant fix it

[spark walrus]

Im trying to find it….

[ornate stump]

You have to position your avatar at world zero position.

[somber osprey]

how do I make my audio sound more louder?

[dark plaza]

hii does anyone know how to make a roblox avatar to vrchat??

no need to do anything i just need tutorials or explanations

[brave eagle]

Hey there i have a question. How do i get my VRoid avi to the game but also compatible for quest? i need help😭

[karmic osprey]

Did you make it yourself?

[brave eagle]

yes. all i gotta do is export it but idk how tho. and for quest and pc because i ones did but it worked only for pc which was weird

[half swift]

So I'm using a custom Locomotion for my movement, but It's strait up not working, it's just default in VRC when uploaded.

[atomic hound]

im making a sprite avi that just seems to stick to the floor, do you use a plane for sprite avis?

[quaint wyvern]

Does anyone know how to make material animation and stuff in unity real time in the scene view?

atm i have to click in the scene for it to play like one frame and its very annoying to adjust my materials with it

oh i think i fixed it

always refresh was disabled...

[sweet prawn]

making things compatible for quest can be made easier with "VRCQuestTools" in your project, it will do its best to convert everything to be quest friendly but do note you might have the remove somethings like physbones or colliders if its still too big after the conversion. i recommend using Toon Standard for quest shaders sense it has the most options and looks the best universally.

[somber osprey]

I'm having a bug where some of my audio is too quiet but the others are not. how do I fix this?

[sweet prawn]

ive only worked with avatar audio twice so take this with a grain of salt but i think it could be one of 3 things

1. the original audio file is just quiet
2. the audio files are different file types to one another
3. the settings on the audio source component itself are set quiet

i just find either re-recording the og file louder or bumping up the specific audio component on the slider. again ive only worked with audios twice so sorry if this is all i really can provide

[somber osprey]

1). all 3 audios I only edit its Speed, nothing else

2. they're all same WAV types

3. The "Volume" on all 3 of them is 1, only one of them has a different pitch

[somber osprey]

and one more thing. this worked completely fine in the play-test mode

But when I actually Play VRChat, the issue happesn

[mighty field]

if you never figured this out here u go:

in the main prefab of your avatar, you’ll see ghe avatar descriptor, in playable layers you’ll see a tab called “eye look” (thats basically youe avatars view point), move that inbetween your avatars eyeballs

(the goobstra eyelook is slightly off and its so irritating)

[surreal ridge]

I bought an avi from fizzyps and the avi is pink how do I add texture it came with poiyomi shaders

[analog bison]

sorry chat, are poses seen as animations in creator companion?

i want to add a pack of new poses on my avatar but i dont know how / where to start

[sweet prawn]

did you import poiyomi first before the avatar? ifs it pink it means you didnt import it

[surreal ridge]

Tried it said it came with poiyomi

[somber osprey]

I'm having a bug where some of my audio is too quiet but the others are not. how do I fix this?

[sweet prawn]

are you sure it said is comes with is or it requires poiyomi?

[karmic osprey]

Maybe it’s not for quest and pc compatible

[somber sequoia]

pumkin's tools has a thing to reset the pose

[somber sequoia]

Unity - VCC is just the launcher and package manager.
And yes, those would be animations.

[surreal ridge]

Is it in assets or textures?

[somber sequoia]

I would delete that whole _PoyomiShaders folder that's in Assets and install the latest version via VCC/Alcom.

[surreal ridge]

So all this?

??

@somber sequoia

[analog bison]

do i have to move the files, do something specific or just importing it?

[somber sequoia]

I have no idea what you have, so can't really advise

[somber sequoia]

what? I already said what I would do.

[sweet prawn]

yes then you would be able to reimport the latest poiyomi without any issue

[surreal ridge]

So all of those folders?

[sweet prawn]

actually hold on

bc have you tried going into the materials and just setting it to poiyomi?

[surreal ridge]

Yes

[sweet prawn]

so all of them are set to it and its still pink?

[surreal ridge]

Yep

[sweet prawn]

with the respective materials did you put in their textures too and still?

[surreal ridge]

I just re added poiyomi

[sweet prawn]

oki smokes

[surreal ridge]

Imma try a new a new unity and go from here

[sweet prawn]

alright best of luck dude

[somber sequoia]

new unity? You can only use version 2022.3.22f1

[gaunt knoll]

[devout breach]

Hello everyone!! I'm currently trying to make a stylized Prototype (poppy playtime) avatar, and I need to know of QUEST COMPATIBLE ways to get the legs to move like a spider. I was going to use Final IK but it's not possible for quest I dont think

[gaunt knoll]

No final IK isn't compatible
You have you use final IK on pc
And just use an animation on quest that's the only way

[devout breach]

I cant animate walk cycles is the problem, they just dont make sense to me

[gaunt knoll]

You have you animate it in blender

[devout breach]

I know HOW to animate, I just cant do walk cycles

[gaunt knoll]

Actually Vrchat brought out Ray casting compatibility I don't know if it's compatible with quest tho

[devout breach]

Whats that ? /genq

Sorry, this is like the most detailed model Ive ever made, I've mostly done basic stuff until now

[little plume]

wym throwing another prefab in?

[surreal ridge]

So I've gone to the material how do I fix it from being pink??

So I've gone to the material how do I fix it from being pink??

[devout breach]

You have to find the textures and then add them into the material

[surreal ridge]

Textures are in materiels still pink

[devout breach]

Add the materials to the avatar by dragging them to the right place

Like, dragging them onto the avatar model

[somber sequoia]

probably start by showing us the material in the inspector

it could be a number of different problems

[surreal ridge]

It's not letting me drag it

[somber sequoia]

drag what, to where?

[somber sequoia]

click "unlock shader" if you want to make changes to that.

which might actually just fix it

for reference, if you're curious what this means: https://www.poiyomi.com/general/locking#shader-locking

[devout breach]

Would anyone with locomotion experience be willing to vc with me to help me make the walk cycle for my model? I'm not quite there yet but if someone could add me and like. Be on standby that would be great

[surreal ridge]

So unlocked the texture still pink

@somber sequoia

[somber sequoia]

Please don't ping me.

[somber sequoia]

were you the one talking about a quadruped? There's a discord specifically for this, "Virtual Limbs"

[surreal ridge]

Sorry Kazin

[devout breach]

The one a few minutes ago in here? Yeah

[somber sequoia]

yeah - I'd check that out, it's full of people doing this stuff

[scenic ether]

😐

[somber sequoia]

yes?

[scenic ether]

You should try searching through those settings, turn things on and off and see if you could find what might be causing it

It's most likely your shader is missing something

[scenic ether]

Nothin

[somber sequoia]

..... okay

[opaque rampart]

still trouble shooting this maid outfit lmao

i had to fix the fbx in pinkiny's tutorial on how to add clothing but now it gives me this error

[devout breach]

Think you could get me an invite link to it ? Idk how to find it lmao I dont go into servers often

[scenic ether]

Check under your NovaMaid and look for the Dress, make sure the path is the same

[somber sequoia]

Yep, I'll dm, one moment

[devout breach]

Tysm!!

[surreal ridge]

So how do I get a texture even tho I closed out the file?

I still have unity open

[scenic ether]

You have the dress under "Novamaid" But your uploading the avi for NovaMaid_Poiyomi

[somber sequoia]

what do you mean "get a texture"?

[opaque rampart]

elaboate in laymans terms im slightly dumb and still trying to learn

[scenic ether]

Drag "dress" under Novabeast_Poiyomi

[opaque rampart]

will try

[surreal ridge]

Unlocked all the textures still pink

[scenic ether]

Make sure your using the latest Poiyomi, and if it really comes down to it, make your own material, make it poiyomi, and re-apply your textures

[somber sequoia]

the textures are not pink. The material is pink because there is some problem with it, possibly one of the textures in there is missing, or there's an error in the console about the shader.

[opaque rampart]

"children of prefab cannot be moved"

[scenic ether]

Right click, unpack prefab

[surreal ridge]

Can someone send the latest poiyomi shader??

[somber sequoia]

poiyomi.com yo

[scenic ether]

https://www.poiyomi.com/

Here ya go

[somber sequoia]

that's a strange thing to suggest.

[scenic ether]

Works for me

If you've got a better suggestion, by all means

[opaque rampart]

same error message from this after putting the dress in the hierarchy of the avi

[somber sequoia]

it looks like you have a pre-built fury package there, with a problem in it. Breaking it up is probably not the solution

[opaque rampart]

it is but i had to fix the bones of it in blender (followed pinky's tutorial on how to add clothes)

also thought i got it to work a while ago and accidentally made a crasher i had to manually switch avatars via the website lol

[analog bison]

how can i fix this?

[mighty field]

just delete the gogo loco prefab

[scenic ether]

Go to your avatar descriptor and remove the gogoloco

[analog bison]

thank touuu !!!

so the avatar one?

the whole file right

[scenic ether]

Whatever is under your avatar descriptor thats using gogoloco

[little plume]

i have an avatar that has a transformation, and so it has 2 meshs, i want both to have visemes tho

[pine valley]

VRC will only set viseme blendshapes on a single renderer

[little plume]

their armature is merged but the way i planned on making them tranform is toggling the mesh renderer with vrcfury

[little plume]

alright, how do I merge the heads while making it still be able to transform?

[pine valley]

if you're using Poiyomi Toon, you could use UV Tile Discard to hide one of the two meshes

Tile Discard works by looking at the whole-number part of the UV coordinates

normally, UVs are numbers between 0 and 1

[little plume]

uhh

[pine valley]

https://www.poiyomi.com/special-fx/uv-tile-discard

[little plume]

i dont understand but ill look into it

[pine valley]

this has examples of what to do

[little plume]

because my model is 2 different meshes on one armature

[pine valley]

it's a pretty easy Blender edit

you just kinda push the entire UV map 1 unit to the right

so one body will be in one tile, and the other body will be in a second tile

e.g.

(these are my eye UVs)

[little plume]

ok ill try in abit

[balmy barn]

create a new uv - select something and tell it to move x / y +1 ect ( g x +1 , would be the shortcut)

this is also helpful to enable

can drag it manually within the grid too course

[hollow sand]

Hi, is there anyone good in texturing that could help me and explain to me how to make a specific texture I'd like to make on my avi ?

[little plume]

But what's the process of merging the shape keys and such?

Bc both models have their own set of shapekeys

Also I want the transformation to be quest compatible

[lilac musk]

Then you'll have to do something different than UV tile discard. Probably would have to setup your own viseme animations and controller layer

[pine valley]

If you want it to be quest-compatible, then you're going to need to deal with lower-quality visemes on one of the bodies

You can't use any kind of transparency on Quest, so you couldn't use cutout rendering to hide one of the two bodies

[little plume]

Ive done a transformation toggle on quest by disabling a mesh render with vrcfury but that model didnt have a face so it worked out

This is sort of a different case

[pine valley]

Silver's method would give you lower-quality visemes (the animator only knows which viseme is strongest, rather than getting all of the viseme values)

but it would work

I've done that before

I wonder if you could merge just the head meshes

You'd have an armature like this:

• Real Head <-- the bone that Unity is animating
  • First Head
  • Second Head

the latter two heads would be the ones that actually deform the model

[little plume]

Wym by lower quality exactly

[pine valley]

you could shrink one down

[little plume]

I use blendshape visemes btw

[pine valley]

since you only know the dominant viseme, you don't know how strong each viseme should be

without smoothing, you'll just snap between each blendshape

you'd use very quick transitions to blend between different visemes

but it'll still be lower-quality than normal visemes, where you can have several of them blended together at once

VRCFury has a component for this

[dark plaza]

hii can someone help me with how to make a roblox avatar to vrchat?

as a model

[little plume]

Can you link some sort of guide I can follow for this?

[pine valley]

https://vrcfury.com/components/other/ explains the Advanced Visemes component

[little plume]

ok cool ill look into it

[analog bison]

can someone pls tell me how to fix this?

[pine valley]

i wonder if this is the Totally Inscrutable Error i've gotten a few times

restart your editor and try again

I'll get that "Object reference not set..." error completely randomly

[analog bison]

what’s that l?

[pine valley]

close unity and open it

[analog bison]

thank you!

[pine valley]

I bet it would've worked if you just tried again, too

I haven't figured out what actually causes it, but it's not consistent

very annoying

[night ember]

my guess is it disconnects for a second without realizing

[analog bison]

it keeps saying this

[pine valley]

oh wait, is this happening during upload?

i assumed that was the case

or is this just appearing when you try to view the control panel?

If that's happening, select the error message and show me all of the text that appears in the bottom of the console

[junior brook]

okay i got all the bone stuff figured out BUT once i got the full model with the textures n face n stuff , i couldnt make it into a humanoid and this warning just kept popping up , can anyone help??

[scenic ether]

Keep it in rigging

[junior brook]

these are the bones stuff but theyre like changed now,

[scenic ether]

You'll have better chances of people helping you with it if its kept in #avatar-rigging

[junior brook]

im asking abt this

[scenic ether]

When you clicked on the FBX and viewed it in inspector, you weren't able to select Humanoid?

[junior brook]

i can select humanoid, and map the bones but when i apply it just doesnt do anything

ive restarted unity many times

n the project itself

im confused because the bones worked before doing the textures and face, is it maybe because the parts of the face are actual like, plates with textures instead of being on the actual head??

[scenic ether]

That's odd, I don't realy know

[junior brook]

i just get this every time i try to make it a humanoid

the shadmesh part is the root bone... i dont know why it would matter

actually it isnt

shadmesh is just the model itself

shadarmature is the root i think

[pine valley]

These warnings are not the issue

They're just telling you that there are invalid triangles somewhere in the model

[junior brook]

so what could be the problem?? is it the triangles

[pine valley]

you asked about this before, and I pointed out that the bone hierarchy was wrong

have you fixed this?

[junior brook]

yes i have fixed this, this appeared after adding textures and face plates

[pine valley]

Oh, the forwarded message is no longer relevant, then?

[junior brook]

yeah it isnt, just to show off some bones

cuz im like

confused myself

[pine valley]

what does "doesn't do anything" mean?

[hollow sand]

Is there anyone who have any idea how this kind of pixelated texture could be done on an avi ?

[junior brook]

doesnt become a humanoid, this error stays even after making it a humanoid

i tested it ingame and its just in the a-pose

i forced t-pose onto the model but it still didnt work

[pine valley]

select the model in the Project window and then screenshot the inspector

switch to the Rig tab first

[junior brook]

give me a sec

let me map the bones cuz i reset it

[pine valley]

You should not need to manually assign any bones unless you have some really weird bone names

[analog bison]

and yeah! here it is

[pine valley]

I'm guessing you still have hierarchy issues

[pine valley]

what SDK version are you on?

the exact line numbers will depend on that

[analog bison]

it should be the newest. how can i check it?

[pine valley]

okay, latest version

[analog bison]

on vrchat companion?

[pine valley]

You'd see the version there, yeah

probably 3.10.2?

[analog bison]

here they are!

[pine valley]

This line of code is trying to capitalize the "public" or "private" text for a dropdown menu

somehow, it's passing in a null reference there (maybe you have neither selected, somehow...?)

Have you uploaded the avatar yet? If so, look at it on the VRChat website

that's a very weird error

[analog bison]

i’m very new to these things so i have genuenly no idea how to fix it

[analog bison]

it won’t upload!

[junior brook]

her hands arent mapped because theyre named like the other way around, so i just have to manually map them myself but when i did that on the model without textures and the faceplates it was fine?

nvm i actually mapped the hands theyre ok now

[pine valley]

are you sure you're looking at the correct model? It looks like the Humanoid avatar generated just fire

it does have warnings

but those aren't fatal

[pine valley]

this is not something that I'd expect to ever see :p

It seems like you have invalid avatar data

I'm not sure how that'd happen

[analog bison]

how should i fix it?

[pine valley]

Try creating a new avatar -- just add a model to the sceen and put a VRCAvatarDescriptor on it

do this in a new scene, so that the broken avatar doesn't get in the way

See if you can upload that

[junior brook]

i usually just click on her main model in the hierarchy and input the bones, idk why it wouldnt work

[analog bison]

what’s that? sorry 🥹

[pine valley]

ctrl+N to make a new scene

save it as whatever you want ("test scene" or something)

[pine valley]

use the empty scene template

[analog bison]

oki wait

[pine valley]

drag a model from the Project window into the scene, then click on it and add a VRCAvatarDescriptor component to it

try to upload the avatar

[analog bison]

this vrcavatar it’s one of the links i have to add in the project ?

[pine valley]

Get rid of this Animator component

I'm not sure how that wound up on there!

You can only have one animator on an object

[balmy barn]

all humanoid have one on root

[pine valley]

Yes, but this is an added component

notice the green +

I think this has wound up replacing the animator that's supposed to be on the model

It has no Avatar assigned

and the Avatar is what actually makes you "humanoid"

("Avatar" is a unity animator thing; nothing to do with VRC)

[analog bison]

i made this. how can i add the component to itv

[junior brook]

sigh ok

[pine valley]

don't unpack the model prefab btw

[junior brook]

the humanoid problem dissapeared

let me see if it works

[pine valley]

click on "Dolores V1" in the hierarchy and then look at the inspector

you'll see an Add Component button

[analog bison]

like this? im not sure there’s an inspector

[pine valley]

Look on the right side. That is your Inspector window.

It shows you the components on the object you’ve selected

[zenith spade]

This is an example of my higher poly work. I’m having issues with floating eyes, teeth and tongue when I’m rigging though.

[pine valley]

If you do not see a tab named “inspector”, reset your layout with the dropdown in the very top right corner

[analog bison]

sorry, are you able to explain this like i’m a 4 year old who has never seen a computer? lol

[pine valley]

Screenshot your entire editor window.

[analog bison]

here it is

[pine valley]

okay, you don't have an inspector window at all

reset your layout

[analog bison]

and now can i do that?

[pine valley]

do what?

[analog bison]

oh wait all of them?

there’s one that says reset all the layouts

[pine valley]

reset your layout so that you actually have an Inspector window

just pick the Default layout

[analog bison]

here it is

[pine valley]

you've folded up the scene in the hierarchy, so unfold that

then select your object (Dolores V1) and add a VRCAvatarDescriptor component to it

you can search for it by name

[analog bison]

on the add new scenes?

[pine valley]

No.

You have right clicked on the scene itself

Click on your avatar's root object

Then go to the inspector to add a component.

[analog bison]

like this?

[brave eagle]

Awesome thanks a lot for answering. I’ll try it and tell you what

[pine valley]

Select the object, then look at the Inspector

I did not say to right click on the object

there will be an Add Component button

click it and search for VRCAvatarDescriptor

[analog bison]

sorry english is not my first language

so it’s taking a moment for me to understand

[analog bison]

like this?

[pine valley]

oh, you haven't created a new scene, have you?

I wanted to see if you could upload a brand new avatar

since I think there is something wrong with the existing one

[analog bison]

it says this

[pine valley]

yes, it won't work if you add multiple of them

undo to remove it

I want you to make a new scene to test this in.

[pine valley]

see here.

[analog bison]

like this?

[pine valley]

Yes. Click "Save" so that the new scene opens.

Drag your model from the Project window into the scene.

[analog bison]

here it is

[pine valley]

Add the VRCAvatarDescriptor to this, then try to upload the avatar from the SDK Control Panel

[analog bison]

i think theres some bugs? and yes i added the vrcavatordesriptor

[pine valley]

The model will probably have all of its clothing turned on all at once

It won't look correct

All I want to do here is check if you can upload an avatar at all

[analog bison]

ohhh ok

hold on

it takes a good long ass moment to upload idk why

okay it’s going

[pine valley]

Unity has to compile a ton of shaders the first time you upload

in the editor, it only has to compile a few shaders (the ones it actually needs right now)

but when you build, it has to create every shader it could need

there are lots of combinations of stuff like "is there fog?" and "what kind of light is hitting me?"

[analog bison]

here it is

[pine valley]

If this works, then I think something is wrong with the avatar descriptor on your original avatar

I think that it's somehow set to neither "private" nor "public"

[analog bison]

that could be the problem?

[pine valley]

that's my best guess right now

i'm not sure how that would happen

[analog bison]

is there anyway i can fix it?

[pine valley]

I'm not sure that data is ever even stored in the avatar descriptor (it normally comes from VRChat's servers)

I don't know right now, but I can look at this closer later today

(I need to go soon)

[analog bison]

thank you so much! your help is very appreciated

[dark plaza]

hii does anyone know how to do headchop on a avatar?

cuz the avis head is kinda huge

this is the avi btw

[sweet prawn]

its usually applied on default but you can add one by adding the component and setting the bone to be your head and setting it to 0

[timber wharf]

@dark plaza head bone itself (and consequently its children) is already chopped by default

so step one, make sure that head bone is head bone

[somber sequoia]

yeah, what is your actual goal here?

[dark plaza]

i have the component but idk how to assign it?

[sweet prawn]

im guessing they just want to make sure they cant see their head bc of its size

[dark plaza]

yes

[timber wharf]

theyre not supposed to

[somber sequoia]

Is that thing not already attached to the head bone?

[timber wharf]

by default

[sweet prawn]

again it should be on by defualt if the head is already attatched to the models head bone

[somber sequoia]

But you can add the VRC Head Chop component to some part, drag in the root bone you want to chop (or unchop) and set the value there.

[timber wharf]

custom headchop exists more to show stuff on head like hair or glasses, or to hide locally stuff that goes before head

like a huge chest armor

[sweet prawn]

yea so in short, you dont need to add one even tho your head is large. its already done for you and all you have to do is upload

[dark plaza]

its not working ingame properly

;w;

[sweet prawn]

so your head isnt on the body?

[round comet]

their rig is also generic and we tried moving the viewpoint and doing headchop and they still cant see

the head and body are one mesh

and we rigged using mixamo

for context

[dark plaza]

yeah

[timber wharf]

why woulld that be generic

[dark plaza]

it didnt work on humanoid

[sweet prawn]

set the rig to humonoid lol

[indigo badger]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[round comet]

it isnt allowing it to be set to humanoid because there was less than 15 bones? never seen the error

we could try again

[timber wharf]

well you do need enough bones for vrc to accept it

[tight owl]

We too am in this episode

[round comet]

I'm not sure how we could considering the program the avi is rigged with

[somber sequoia]

I'd strongly suggest doing a humanoid rig

[sweet prawn]

blender

[somber sequoia]

should be easy enough to import into Blender and fix it

[timber wharf]

mixamo can rig that stuff in a minute unless there are custom bones

[indigo badger]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[timber wharf]

well probly would require excluding and later manual box painting

[sweet prawn]

mixamo is ok to get a basic rig but you should bring it into blender to add the necessary bones

[round comet]

ohhhhh

[sweet prawn]

vrchat be funk like that

[round comet]

for context the avatar is from roblox and they wanted to add it into vrchat too

most tutorials suggested mmd

according to potatoe

[dark plaza]

yues

[round comet]

[timber wharf]

you do understand that generic rig wouldve t-posed forever right?

[round comet]

ohh would it have? no, I hadnt realized

[indigo badger]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[somber sequoia]

Yeah for a generic rig it's expect that you'll be creating all of the locomotion animations you want

[sweet prawn]

elaborate? do you mean the tutorials sudgets using mmd models to convert for vrc or?

[timber wharf]

generic is like for pngs and toyota corolla avatars

[round comet]

ohhhh, alright

[sweet prawn]

anything not human built essentally

[round comet]

potatoe was watching a tutorial to make their roblox avi into a vrc one and the tutorial apparently mentioned something about using mmd for the rig? I'm not sure

[sweet prawn]

ive never worked with roblox to vrchat so thats interesting

[somber sequoia]

no idea what it means to "use mmd for the rig"

[round comet]

yeah, I might need to ask them for the tutorial. tbf I've never used mmd, so that's why my default recommendation was for them to rig the model with mixamo

[round comet]

yeah, no clue. Something in the program apparently?

I wasn't aware you need to add the rest of the necessary bones after rigging with mixamo

[sweet prawn]

looking it up its saying to use miku miku dance to generate/convert the roblox model into a rig if im understanding it correctly

[round comet]

yeahh

they attempted to download mmd but had some issues. Mixamo was a good alternative

[worn jackal]

explode

[dark plaza]

vibe this is a fatal situation

[round comet]

good to know if I wanna give it a try myself and rig anything in the future I suppose

[sweet prawn]

honestly at that point i would say DL blender and rig it that way with rigify

[indigo badger]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[round comet]

they do have blender, yeah. We'll need to try rigify

[sweet prawn]

its a plugin that makes humanoid rigs

[round comet]

good to know

[sweet prawn]

only thing you would really need to learn is to weight paint

[round comet]

ahh alright. I'd have to do that for them

[indigo badger]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[sweet prawn]

theres plenty of yt tutorials on how to weight paint in blender so youll be fine fr fr. best way i find is make a rigify BASIC HUMANOID rig, parent the mesh with automatic weights, and fix any weirdness. should give you all your necessary bones for vrc and give you a (hopefully) better rigging result then mixamo

i also dont mind being teacher and hopping in vcs to help if you have any questions ^^

[round comet]

yeye ik how to weightpaint. I'll just have to do it for em

tysm for your help

[sweet prawn]

ofc ofc

[round comet]

I've never converted a roblox model either so I was just uber confused lol

[sweet prawn]

real af dude

best of luck

[timber wharf]

@round comet again, remove box, send through mixamo, add box back and paint it to head. unless there was rigged hair eyes etc youre good

otherwise rigging those is still way easier than assembling a working fbt rig from scratch

[hasty gorge]

is this the avatar model or my stuff and if any of them how do i fix it

[somber sequoia]

It says clearly what to do - upgrade the VRChat SDK

(in VCC or Alcom, manage project, upgrade that an probably any related things like gesture manager or av3 emulator)

[hasty gorge]

sorry im still learning and that was a stupid question

[fallow ore]

im making a gun. i made the bullet emitter have the sub-emitter, and the object that recieves sub-emitters is noit a child of the original bullet object. am i doing this right? it still doesnt copy the particles over to to the other object

[somber sequoia]

it won't "copy" anything

[timber wharf]

uh sub-emitter is supposed to be a child isnt it?

idk always did it that way at least

theres og particle system, then theres subemitter that emits on smth (well, collision 99% of a time for avis)

[somber sequoia]

If you want the sub-emitter to stay alive when you disable the primary emitter, it can't be a child. Even if Unity complains about this.

usually you have one emitter to fire a single particle which has an unrelated child that's the actual bullet, and you toggle on and off the primary emitter to fire

[timber wharf]

imagine animating the whole system rather than emission🤷‍♂️ 🫠

[fallow ore]

so the emitter basically makes the actual bullet fire

[gloomy breach]

need help with parameter drivers. another user has helped me here, but hey are not online rn. Anyone be willingto lend a hand?

I had help from someone to use a parameter driver to toggle multiple different assets using a button on my menu. Yesterday, I tried to trace back those steps in order to make a separate button that toggles these items OFF all at once, but it led to the original parameter driver to break and now the button doesn't work to turn on the assets

[timber wharf]

@fallow ore what are youre trying to do. like, buffer particles or whats the idea and the issue

[somber sequoia]

Yeah this is the "buffer particle" concept

[somber sequoia]

You'd have to show or explain, but you can put the parameter driver component on any animation state you want

[iron dove]

I'm trying to make a booth avatars but all of the male bases have too much of a thin arms, does anyone knows an avatar that doesn't look like a god damn twink?

I need a real man

Rei has too much thin of a hands

hanka does too

minase does too

[gloomy breach]

sucks there's no voice channels here, but I can dm call you to show my screen

[somber sequoia]

no, I don't do private help, keep it in here where anyone can contribute

[gloomy breach]

gotcha

uhhhhhh let me take screenshots then

[somber sequoia]

it's not really that difficult though, and the VRChat docs have decent examples

[iron dove]

also they are too much inhumanely thin, I don't know what to do. playing with them feels like I'm a humanoid pencil

[gloomy breach]

Target parameter "Combat Mode"

[stray lintel]

hiyall

so im trying to make a screen animation

how would i do the mocap for the character animation?

what programs can i use

[somber sequoia]

why use two different bools for this though? You could just use a single one, true = on, false = off

[gloomy breach]

My avi needs this maintenance before being redeployed to combat

[stray lintel]

I want to be able to use my model in animation

[somber sequoia]

otherwise this looks pretty decent.

[stray lintel]

similar to how floppi has a cutscene with his characters

[gloomy breach]

yea, I tried and everything fell apart...

the assets aren't toggling on anymore

[fallow ore]

get my gun shooting without the bullets dissapearing everytime i fire (turn off and on the particle object)

[somber sequoia]

probably time to watch the animator's behaviour while toggling the menu item while in play mode in Unity, with gesture manager or av3 emulator, so you can see what it's actually doing

Hard to make guesses otherwise

[hardy crest]

I'd be so happy if that was the reason, lol. Unfortunately the root seems to be at 0,0,0.

[somber sequoia]

Yes - this is the whole point of the "buffer particle" I explained, the actual bullet emitter needs to not be a child of the initial emitter or it'll turn off when the parent goes off

[fallow ore]

i think i got it to work. i just need to make it activate on fist gesture now. thank you!

[somber sequoia]

Right. I usually have "point" be my "ready" position and "fist" be the "fire", so it feels like a real gun ought.

Fist just toggles on then off the main emitter.

[timber wharf]

@fallow ore well, you just dont ever touch particle itself, you animate the emission module

so whenever you turn off the emission, already existing particle doesnt go anywhere

it just stops spawning new ones

[neat spire]

unity crashed while I was in record mode and now I can't log into the SDK, it gives me this error message. I've already tried closing and reopening, restarting my whole pc. Please tell me this is fixable and that my project isn't bricked

[somber sequoia]

unfortunately, this error isn't very helpful 🙁

[balmy barn]

seeing the amount of people that cant log in currently, im saying its the servers

[somber sequoia]

But if something got corrupted, you could delete the project's Library folder while Unity is NOT RUNNING, and then see if it starts up.
OH is that a thing?

ah it is, yep

[neat spire]

okay thank god

hoping that's all it is

[somber sequoia]

definitely a thing

[lean chasm]

so im not the only one getting this when trying to login right?

[hardy crest]

No, see above.

[lean chasm]

Oh, Boy!

im atleast happy its not just me having the issue

[timber wharf]

multiplayer suffering yay

[tiny haven]

I was just about to ask about the bad response data lol

[civic rose]

Tried to put a skinned mesh renderer particle on the avi but it wont scale smaller, how do I fix this

[analog bison]

sorry guys, i’m trying to open a file in vr creator for an avatar that requires another instalment (aka the one in the first pic). i shave already downloaded it 3 times and yet it seems not working

[somber sequoia]

FYI, you want 2022.3.22f1

[analog bison]

one of the avatars i’m trying to upload says this:’)

is there anyway i can fix it?

[somber sequoia]

It is incorrect, you should use the version I said.

Likely that ^ was made before VRChat upgraded to .22

[analog bison]

and how do i fix that?

[somber sequoia]

You install the correct version?
As for fixing the download problem, it may be related to whatever is causing VRChat's API issues.

[balmy barn]

if you see sdk2 then you can worry otherwise newest unity

[analog bison]

i thought that would fix this error

[balmy barn]

too generic error

[analog bison]

what do i have to do?

[somber sequoia]

see the first pinned message on how to share errors

[analog bison]

thank you!

sorry, i promise, last question. whenever i try open vr chat / vr chat companion this pops up/doesn’t let me log in despite the credentials being right. how can i fix it?

[somber sequoia]

Again, #server-status reports API issues right now, it's likely your problem

[analog bison]

sorry let me share it here

[somber sequoia]

(assuming that's trying to do the VRChat SDK login)

share what here?

[analog bison]

oh nvm my bad

[analog bison]

vrchat normal, the game

[somber sequoia]

?

that is unity, not vrchat the game

[analog bison]

YEAH but like it won’t work on both

[somber sequoia]

There is a server outage.

[analog bison]

right now?

oh thank you

[somber sequoia]

I have said this several times and told you were to look for that info: #server-status

[analog bison]

sorry, english is not my first language

[pallid drift]

no help needed or anything, just a curious monk. what is the difference between release, dev, and dev: combat evolved? lmao

[copper prawn]

Championship Edition

[somber sequoia]

I was going to make a Windows CE joke but then looked that up and apparently "CE" didn't actually stand for anything

[supple needle]

Need some help fixing these errors. Removed missing scripts earlier on

[somber sequoia]

well the first two are a problem with the shader you are using

The rest are likely due to the current API server outage

[west pulsar]

i cant even log in

[somber sequoia]

Yes.

[supple needle]

I’ll try it again once it’s patched then

[west pulsar]

oh lol i didnt even see that vrc is currently having problems lol

[rapid moss]

Does anyone have any good Michael Jackson avatars dm me if you do

[night ember]

#1138520828556890214

[sharp pine]

Can somebody make an animal company avatar world with every animal in the game I wanna do it but my PC is shitty

No cosmetics

[night ember]

Go to vrctraders for that

Roblox studio lets you export as obj

Then why are you trying tomake a roblox avatar

[round comet]

Funny news, turns out the mixamo rig was fine :p They sent me the fbx and I looked — the only issue was the bone names!

It wasn’t recognizing any of them so all I had to do was rename the bones and then the fbx worked for my friend and they could set it to humanoid

[somber sequoia]

oh nice

[round comet]

Yeah, since they all started with “mixamo”

So I guess it was confused

They’ll just need to wait till VRChat is back up before attempting to upload again

But appreciate yall for your advice

[somber osprey]

why is my audio being too quiet when I play them in VRC mode?

this issue isn't replicated through editor playtest mode

[pine valley]

the spatial audio source does nothing in the editor

VRChat makes audio very quiet

I'd suggest:

• Adding a VRCSpatialAudioSource to the same object as the AudioSource
• Setting the "Gain" property to 0 (to prevent it from being too loud)
• Turning on "Use Audio Source Volume Curve" in the advanced options
• Setting the audio source to use linear rolloff

[devout knoll]

hello again

added a physbone to my cape, but the top part keeps moving with it. is there anyway to fix this? thanks in advance

[pine valley]

You can ignore specific transforms in the physbone component

use that to skip the top bones

[grand trellis]

was wondeing if I should fix the neck coloring

[pine valley]

you can also consider using the "Immobile" property with a curve, so that the first bones in each chain ignore almost all motion

[pine valley]

this looks like a problem with your normal map

the normal map affects which way the surface appears to be facing

[grand trellis]

dang

should I delete the map then?

[pine valley]

if it's not consistent when you go from one UV island to another, you'll see seams like this

try removing it and seeing if the issue goes away

[grand trellis]

ok thanks

[somber sequoia]

this is what I'd do, use curves, have less motion at the top and more at the bottom

[teal bolt]

Does anyone know how to make a sound play when a particle is destroyed?

[somber sequoia]

you can't on avatars, unfortunately.

The closest you could get is making a timed animation, but you'd have to know the exact time the particle gets destroyed for that.

Hmm I wonder if there's a canny somewhere to allow us to spawn an audio source on particle death.

[pine valley]

oh, you mean playing sounds where the particle dies

can't do that, yeah

if you just want to play a sound when a particle dies, and there's only one particle, then there are some Shenanigans you can get up to

[teal bolt]

There is a trigger option in the chats, but I couldn't set it up the way I needed.

[somber sequoia]

Yeah, you can't use this unfortunately

[teal bolt]

and if animation Event

[somber sequoia]

Also can't do that on avatars

[teal bolt]

hmmmmmmm

Maybe you could suggest the most reliable way to release one particle per trigger press, but with a maximum number of particles of, say, 30.
I tried setting the Emission-Rate over time to 100 using a short animation for a couple of milliseconds, but I'd get either 2 particles or 0.

[slow panther]

any idea why my avatar is exploding when trying to test gesture manager and animations

the bones work idk why the model isnt xD

[somber sequoia]

That import message is a problem - you changed the scale the last time you exported from Blender.

[somber sequoia]

I'd use "FBX All" for "apply scalings" but what matters is not what it is here, but if it's different than the last time.
If you don't know, set it to FBX All, re-export, then set the rig in Unity to generic, then redo the humanoid setup.

[prisma monolith]

i have a particle effect on my gun that plays sound when it shoots? how can i make the sound overlap and how can i make it repeatedly shoot with a modifiable interval? (like every half a second shoot)

[slow panther]

oh my god thank you

[somber sequoia]

oh I should have said - if simply re-exporting with that "FBX All" fixes it, great! No need to redo the rig setup.

[pine monolith]

i have issues log in my app and Oculus quest 2 log in

[prisma monolith]

#server-status

[icy compass]

The API is ded rn so logging in aint possible

No there is no ETA on when it will be fixed

Check #server-status for updates

[pallid drift]

back up

[turbid cedar]

idrk if this is related but im missing all of my favorites... (im vrc+)...

[pallid drift]

uhhhhhhhh

[pallid drift]

someone get on this!!!!!!

[pallid drift]

neevermind...

[turbid cedar]

i have uploads, owned, recents, and my one favorite thing

[empty widget]

I have a physbone that just wont mpve at all, yet when i drag the bone normally, everything moves just fine, what could be the cause of this?
Phys bone settings n all should be just fine

[somber sequoia]

this channel is about creating avatars, perhaps you mean #1138891887374237706 ?

[somber sequoia]

I recommend taking a look at the console for more details 🙂

[turbid cedar]

idk if comminoty can help with this one idk it'll prob be fixed soon

[pallid drift]

i dunno how to read bungo bingus

[somber sequoia]

first pin in this channel shows how to share console errors, if you want someone here to help you look at them

[pallid drift]

ah

okay dokie

[light heath]

how do I fix this?

[tiny olive]

guys anyone familliar with floppiii avatar i got the dlc of lucia and there one error i dont know how to fix

[somber sequoia]

Fix what specifically?

[zenith spade]

First time UV unwrapping in blender. Should I just Uv unwrap the faces? Or cut seams?

[somber sequoia]

I prefer to make seams first, generally where seams naturally are on objects. Clothing is a great thing to consider here, you can see where the seams are.

I also tend to mark seams as I go while modeling, rather than after, but I do often find myself redoing someone else's UV map, so....

[zenith spade]

Ok. Thanks!

[somber sequoia]

Ah one more bit of advice - if your object doesn't have natural obvious seams like clothing does, then try to place them where they won't be noticed if your textures don't end up aligning perfectly.

[crimson slate]

idk if this is going to get noticed, as ive had bad luck on getting help
but ive been trying to set up my own personal avi for the entire day, with no luck. mainly with toggles not working

this is as far as ive gotten with it before giving up

[somber sequoia]

pro tip: up in the "gizmos" icon at the upper-right of the Scene view, you can scale down the 3D icons so they aren't covering your work so much

[crimson slate]

its not that

its setting up the toggles that the prefabs came with

[fringe nexus]

…

[somber sequoia]

no, I know, the thought just occurred to me 'cause your model is hard to see in that view

[crimson slate]

and of course, no one can help here either

[somber sequoia]

Well you'd have to explain the problem

[crimson slate]

read

[somber sequoia]

I read, but that doesn't tell us anything about the toggles or prefabs

[crimson slate]

fine, fuck off

[somber sequoia]

okay, good luck getting someone to help fix a thing without explaining what needs fixing.

ah I guess they left, oh well.

[gaunt knoll]

I don't think anyone is helping him because he swear at you
not going to lie I wouldn't you can't ask for help then say that

[low gulch]

hey im having a very specific issue with physbones
so im trying to have this lil tag on my model stay in a certain place when the avatar is moving, but its swinging around incorrectly, and i think its because i anchored it to the neck bone specifically so when the avatar moves, the tag knows to wobble with it
(in my video when i move around the model itself, its behaving EXACTLY how i want it to, but when i use the Velocity joystick thingy in gesture manager its not staying on that seam basically)
so how can i go about fixing this?? i dont know how i can keep the first tag bone static in a specific spot but have the rest of the tag bones wiggle with the movement of the character
please let me know if you guys need more screenshots or anything for further context

[somber sequoia]

yeah, there's no need to be rude.

[somber sequoia]

hmm. I'm curious where that first bone is placed, and how the weight paint is done.
But one thing you can try is to use the curves in the physbone component to decrease movement of the first bone(s)

[somber osprey]

I'm trying to record the animation involving emission

but everytime I click the "face" instead of the root of the avi, the Animation box stops recording, what do I do then?

[light heath]

The materials

[somber sequoia]

ah - reduce slots in Blender by merging mesh objects or reassigning faces to fewer materials. Combine materials by atlassing textures or baking existing materials to new textures with a new UV map.
I don't have links to tutorials, but they should exist.

[somber sequoia]

You can only record an animation if the animation clip is in one of the layers in the animation controller which is in the slot in the Animator component on the root of the avatar

[wanton pulsar]

so i just got done making an model, and i’m stuck on the rigging part, every time i watch a video it ends up going south and not working, really i just need tips and ways to rig cause everything else isn’t working (if you can help dm and we can vc)

[cunning moat]

I need help with this max steel avatar everytime I turn into the turbo modes I will T-pose and I can’t move my arms and only PC players can see it the arms move

[lucid wind]

I dont know where I went wrong.. I so New at this blender stuff.. any tips?

[gaunt knoll]

Uses different bones for the different models try using contracts

[gaunt knoll]

#avatar-rigging

[gaunt knoll]

The hair isn't rigged up properly

[cunning moat]

I didn’t make this avatar but I know the avatar creator is of who made this I don’t added but their username is primalfrom12 he the one that the made the max steel avatar

[gaunt knoll]

Then ask them to fix it

[somber osprey]

so how do I record an animation clip that's control the emission slider?

I'm trying to make a radial puppet that control the emission

[somber sequoia]

hit record, do a thing. it's that easy

[somber osprey]

the animation just stops if I select the "face"

should I create an animation clip within the "face" instead of root of the avi?

[somber sequoia]

I told you why that happens

the animation clip you are editing is not on the avatar

[somber osprey]

now I'm confused

the "Eye_emm_control" is in this List

doesn't that mean the animation clip is on the avatar?

if not then how do I do it?

[somber sequoia]

oh did you select the avatar first, then look in that dropdown?

oh

in your video I can see the animator, it says "missing animation controller" in the slot

that's a problem

[somber osprey]

I click the drop down. scrolled all the way down "create new clip"

[somber osprey]

but I was told only the Root of the avi should have the animator component, no?

[somber sequoia]

yes, but the controller you're working on should be in that slot

[somber osprey]

so what do I do?

[somber sequoia]

... put it in that slot?

[somber osprey]

like this?

[somber sequoia]

Yes

[somber osprey]

sorry for testing your patience, I have no idea how unity works at all so I'm easily confused

[somber sequoia]

there are tutorial videos if you need visual references

[somber osprey]

now most of these animation clip are now yellow. if I recall, isn't that a bad thing?

[somber osprey]

idk how to search for relevent videos, I always get vague results

[somber sequoia]

yellow means those items are referring to objects which are not on the avatar, for whatever reason

[somber osprey]

should I be concern or no?

cause this yellow names showed up after I put the Controller and Avatar on the face

[somber sequoia]

up to you - yellow means those things won't work

you can click-then-click the names and correct them, if you know where the objects ar, or remake the animation

or maybe those are part of some prefab?

[somber osprey]

idk. I'm afraid to brick this session

[somber sequoia]

make backups

[somber osprey]

I did but I'll run out of storage if i keep making backups, can't afford to get another

[wanton pulsar]

yo thanks a lot got it to work,, ur a life saver

[light heath]

Could you possibly find me a tutorial? I cannot find one that makes sense.

[uneven lark]

Is Alien allowed to have clothes without being in VRC? It's not NSFW, I'm talking about like Roger from American Dad, who always goes "naked" around all the time, is that allowed, or is it required to have clothes on, ever as an alien? (Here is an image for anyone wondering what I am meant/talking about). Ping me so I don't miss your reply, ty! :D

[somber sequoia]

I don't really keep links to these, sorry

[slow panther]

i cant seem to figure out why all the jiggle physics on this avatar are jittery, i even tried using the same settings from my other avatar that works

nothing has a collider apart from my spine/hair but i turned that off to see if that was the issue

[night ember]

you modeling and texturing the anatomy?

[uneven lark]

I'm still learning, I'm fairly new to it.

[night ember]

that didnt answer my question

are you actually modeling and texturing the nsfw anatomy

[uneven lark]

OH that part, no.

[night ember]

then it wouldnt be nsfw

[somber osprey]

Where's the paramters?

I'm trying to move an existing menu Control to a submenu

the original one has all of these parameters, why does the new one not have it?

[somber sequoia]

see the parameters slot at the top

[somber osprey]

Ohhh okay thank you

[slow panther]

any ideas im just about playing with everything and nothings working xD

[somber sequoia]

what are you trying to do here?

[slow panther]

So the breasts, butt, tummy, and legs should be jiggling 'normally'

but they all seem to be moving up and down like theyre fighting or not loose idk how to explain it xD

[somber sequoia]

show your physbone settings for one of them

[somber sequoia]

hmm weird avatar scaling

that radius value is very very small

[slow panther]

on the avatar thats working im seeing it doesnt share the same cones

[somber sequoia]

I'd re-export from Blender with scaling = FBX All, then redo the physbone values

[slow panther]

ah okay, why do you think scaling would be the issue here?

[somber sequoia]

it can make physbones act weird

[slow panther]

so changing it to units scale seemed to work

thank you again xD

[somber sequoia]

ooh that actually did? Nice

I was hoping it would

[slow panther]

i think i spoke to soon

💀

i think the creator had collisions set up seoereatly, i did delete the animations, params and layers for it

[somber osprey]

idk why this isn't working

I have the radial puppet binded to an animation which controls the Emission

but that isn't working. why is that?

[slow panther]

OH it was an endpoint issue

[paper kindle]

my gogoloco sitting and laying do not work but that animations still do,dose anyone have any tips?

[grave zinc]

I'm using an up-to-date version of VRChat Creator Companion, but I'm being told my SDK is out of date? Why is this happening?

[somber sequoia]

because those things are not related. In VCC, manage your project, and upgrade the SDK in it

[grave zinc]

ah, thank you

[somber sequoia]

VCC is just a tool for managing other packages, such as the SDK

(and launching Unity)

[grave zinc]

Thank you, the official guides made it seem like having your VCC updated was all you needed

[somber osprey]

?

[grave zinc]

I'm assuming GogoLoco is currenly broken? Trying to upload an avatar with it just instantly errors.

[somber osprey]

it isn't. what did you do?

[grave zinc]

I put the prefab on my avatar in the hierarchy, just how the video tutorial describes

[somber osprey]

which prefab?

[grave zinc]

Gogo Loco All (VRCFury)

[somber sequoia]

but what error?

[grave zinc]

deleting the prefab lets me upload the avatar

[somber sequoia]

that second image - show instead the first few errors, at the top, looks like there are some before here

unless that's really all of them....

[grave zinc]

found the one that mentions gogo

[somber sequoia]

yep, that "missing script" one is the problem

you installed vrcfury right?

[grave zinc]

Yep, according to VCC

[somber sequoia]

oh, upgrade your SDK, that's too old

[grave zinc]

sorry, I opened the wrong project

ah

okay on the project I'm actually on, VRC Fury got uninstalled

case closed

[somber sequoia]

yep, that'll do it

[somber osprey]

idk why this isn't working

I have the radial puppet binded to an animation which controls the Emission

but that isn't working. why is that?

[ornate stump]

What do you have in the animation clip?

[somber osprey]

just this Alpha in emission 2nd

goes from 0 to 1

[ornate stump]

Are you sure using Alpha is actually working?

[somber osprey]

yes

[ornate stump]

Screenshot again when you're in animation recording mode.

[ornate stump]

There is nothing wrong so far. How is it not working?

[somber osprey]

if I move radial puppet. nothing happens to the emisison at all. its just stuck on 0

[ornate stump]

Can you manually change the emission color while in testing?

[somber osprey]

no. it doesn't let me

[ornate stump]

Delete the parameter in animator controller and add back again.

Preferably copy parameter name from the parameter file and paste it.

[somber osprey]

I deleted the parameter in the Animator tab and added it back in

I still can't control the emission while in playmode

[ornate stump]

Also double check the motion time parameter slot again.

[somber osprey]

I also changed the parameter to that. still happens

[ornate stump]

Does that match with the menu? You're using different parameter name now.

[somber osprey]

I changed it to match with the parameter

still nothing and still wouldn't let me change emission slider manually

[ornate stump]

Do you see the change when you move radial puppet now?

[somber osprey]

no. I move the radial puppet. nothing happened

[ornate stump]

Do you see Alpha slider move when you move the radial puppet?

[somber osprey]

No

it just stays at 0 no matter what I change it to

[ornate stump]

Close unity and open it back again to test.

[somber osprey]

did it. nothing changed

is there something I can show you to help me troubleshoot?

[ornate stump]

I have no other idea.

[somber osprey]

how do you usually put Emission slider on a radial puppet?

[ornate stump]

This is how.

[somber osprey]

cause someone told me its better your avi has emission control cause every world has different emissions

[somber osprey]

the one I'm doing exactly?

Yet it doesn't work?

[ornate stump]

I'm still not sure if vrcfury is doing something weird on it. So you should try duplicate the avatar, remove all the vrcfury components, and test again.

Or preferably isolate everything and have only the emission controlling layer in fx and test.

[somber osprey]

did that. it didn't work

[somber osprey]

can you elaborate more?

Ididn't understand this

[ornate stump]

Just try setting up a new avatar with its own FX layers that control only the emission and nothing else.

[ornate stump]

When you tested, do you still see the animation name being "Copied from" like this?

[somber osprey]

Yes

the face part doesn't have a FX controller so I coped it from the root of the avi

[ornate stump]

That means vrcfury is still running.

[somber osprey]

oh

idk what to do

even here I made a new avi that deleted all VRCfury and goco loco. the issue is still there

[ornate stump]

For sake of testing, try disabling motion time and test, see what it does.

[somber osprey]

now it works but the alpha slider is twitching alot

like its violenting going up and down

and I got this warning

[ornate stump]

It should have already shown that before.

[somber osprey]

it never did. It only shows it after I disable Motion Time parameter

[ornate stump]

That's expected behaviour when running without motion time. That mean the animation and animator layer is working. The problem being the parameter from avatar doesn't get input into animator. Usually this is because of parameter name doesn't match between animator parameter list and parameter file.

[somber osprey]

I'll try to show everything

[ornate stump]

Did you actually copy-paste the parameter name?

[somber osprey]

No. I deleted the parameter and made a new parameter with the same name

or atleast gave it a different name and changed the others accordingly

[ornate stump]

When you made a new parameter you should try copy-paste the parameter name instead of typing it.

[somber osprey]

so what do you suggest?
Delete all the parameters and try it again but copy paste the name?

[ornate stump]

Yes.

[somber osprey]

okay here it is

I delelted all the parameters involved and created the new one in the inspector, copied the name and paste it in the paramters in the animator

@ornate stump

[ornate stump]

Also make sure that motion time field is change accordingly and test.

[somber osprey]

it is

[ornate stump]

And the result of testing?

[somber osprey]

exact same thing

Radial puppet does nothing. emission alpha stuck on 0%

[balmy barn]

Emission <> emission ?

[ornate stump]

Might have to test in game as well at this point.

[ornate stump]

All had been changed to lowercase.

[balmy barn]

no idea what shader they using or animation

[brisk crown]

Hey so i have a problem with a toggle
I'm trying to make a cookie box prop that can spawn on my model, be grabbed by me, then placed in the world. All while being togglable so i dont accidentally grab it.

My issue: My radial menu shows the toggle option but is unable to be clicked on
here's my logic as i assume its something in here

[somber osprey]

liltoon

[ornate stump]

Material, animation, and its layer is working. It seems the parameter from avatar doesn't get input into the animator controller.

[ornate stump]

Did you set parameter for the toggle button?

[brisk crown]

yes

I'm decently new, so let me know if this is wrong

[ornate stump]

I mean the toggle button in your menu file.

[brisk crown]

ah

no i have not

[ornate stump]

Exactly.

[brisk crown]

like i said, im new lol

oops

[ornate stump]

Maybe you should test in gesture manager again, and see the parameter list in its Debug tab.

[somber osprey]

its here. and it does work

@ornate stump tested it in the actual game. nothing

[ornate stump]

I have no other idea what to check. All of these are correct so far.

[somber osprey]

what is "these" you refer to?

[ornate stump]

All you had shown.

[balmy barn]

test the animation only thing i can think of , first thing id check

was a reason i dont use liltoon , forgot what

[ornate stump]

It was checked by disabling motion time and animation play back and forth correctly.

[balmy barn]

test with another controller, rare times a layer dont work or there is something there messing with it

some of my old ones just didnt work until i remade it, probably meta file broke

[ornate stump]

So, create a new fx animator controller, and have only the emission layer in it to test it.

[strange crown]

can sm1 help i keep getting this after i set the humanoid rig'

[left wharf]

Open "Import Messages" foldout below for more details

[strange crown]

o

now it shows

[left wharf]

great

[strange crown]

shows this

[left wharf]

yeah that's the issue
do you have any mesh named "Neck"?

[strange crown]

yep

[left wharf]

that's why
rename it to NeckMesh or something

[strange crown]

ill try that'

didnt work

[balmy barn]

Rename in blender and export again'

[strange crown]

alr

[left wharf]

yeah i forgot to say that sorry

[strange crown]

yo

w mans

it worked

i had this issue for so long, even when working on commissions

🥹

[balmy barn]

Recommend having the main mesh named Body , stations especially looks for that mesh name to change shapekeys

[strange crown]

oka

[jagged jackal]

getting the same error and idk what the fuck is causing it

[gaunt knoll]

Send a screenshot of your errors

[jagged jackal]

it might be something with the project because I went to another project changed the body texture and went to upload and it went through

tried it again to make sure this came up

[gaunt knoll]

What are all of your packages in CC

[jagged jackal]

then this popped up

[balmy barn]

none of those matter and dont crop cause we will just ask if there is more red errors if we cant see total

this one tend to have more errors above it

[analog bison]

could anyone be so nice and explain me how to go these steps?

[ornate stump]

The image showing proxy is for method using automatic installer like vrcfury and modular avatar. The latter 2 images is for manual installing.

[analog bison]

so i don’t have to do anything?

[ornate stump]

You will have to do something, depends on how you're going to install it.

[analog bison]

i’m using the vr creator + gesture manager installed vrcfury, & vrcft - jerry’s template

they’re like already imported in the packages

[ornate stump]

If you're using vrcfury then you have to drag the vrcfury prefab for gogoloco into your avatar and setup the proxy layer like in the first image.

[analog bison]

is there any tutorial i can watch to do this ? or maybe i can send here the steps?

or like is there anyway easier to do it?

[ornate stump]

It's just simply drag and drop.

[analog bison]

okay hold on i’ll try

also something funny but how do i exist this screen

[ornate stump]

What screen even?

[analog bison]

this is how little i know about vr companion

[left wharf]

double click left upper "hierarchy" text

[ornate stump]

To get confusion streight, what you're looking at is Unity Editor. It's a different app from creator companion.

Double click the Hierarchy tab header to restore it full screen.

[analog bison]

thank you thank you

let me try that click and drop real quick

[analog bison]

like this?

[ornate stump]

Yes.

[analog bison]

oh god thank you!!

[ornate stump]

You might have to fix your typos.

[analog bison]

oh sorry

[analog bison]

what i meant was : there’s no need to do the other two things mentioned in the pictures?

[ornate stump]

You only have to do the proxy setup.

[analog bison]

which is the one i just did right

[ornate stump]

If you're refering to drag and drop in the latest image then that isn't it.

[analog bison]

oh sorry. how am i supposed to do the proxy setup?

[analog bison]

but like i genuenly do not have any idea how to find these options

[ornate stump]

That's in avatar descriptor.

[analog bison]

how can i find it? if i search avatar descriptor all it opens me is a microsoft visual

[ornate stump]

Did you actually add the avatar descriptor as a component to your avatar object?

[analog bison]

i downloaded the file for the avatar, it doesn’t come together?

is it this?

[ornate stump]

Of course.

[analog bison]

thank you!! let me try it

[analog bison]

just to see if i have completely understood, do i have to do both of these to fix the proxy issue?

[vapid slate]

would anyone know how to make the entire chain move with one movement instead of it zigzagging like that?

[ornate stump]

First thing, it isn't an issue. It's a regular procedure to install gogoloco.
Then I only said to set up the proxy only like in the first image.

[analog bison]

ohhh thank you so much

[analog bison]

and it should be fixed, right?

[ornate stump]

Test it and see the result.

[somber osprey]

I made a new layer but that didn't do anything

the alpha is stuck where I last set it but the radial puppet did nothing

[ornate stump]

Alpha slider supposed to be manually unmovable since it's being control by the animation.

[somber osprey]

okay well I can't control it through radial puppet

Idk why's that. is it because the Avatar isn't using the new layer?

[ornate stump]

Can you screenshot the gesture manager debug tab, animator states?

[ornate stump]

You could try increasing Stiff value in the advanced mode.

[vapid slate]

where would o go to get the advanced mode?

[ornate stump]

In physbone component.

[vapid slate]

i dont see it

the advanced mode

[ornate stump]

You change Simplified to Advances.

[ornate stump]

The new layer you created doesn't exist there.

[vapid slate]

i see it, thanks ^^

[analog bison]

is it normal for it to be locked like this? 🥲

it keeps going back and forth

[ornate stump]

Just wait for it.

[analog bison]

okay. if something wrong i have to cancel it and / or do something?

the hidden loked poiyomi thing confuses me

[ornate stump]

There shouldn't be something wrong, other than you change your mind and decide to stop it.

[analog bison]

the file said the shaders poiyomi where already added so i didn’t add the project poiyomi so i wonder if that’s the problem

[ornate stump]

No.

Just wait.

[analog bison]

okayy thank you!

[analog bison]

did i do the right thing by not adding the poiyomi project ?

[ornate stump]

Does your avatar shown correctly?

[analog bison]

yeah i think so

[ornate stump]

Then there is nothing to fix.

[crisp flicker]

would anyone be able to help me link some stuff to my avi ;-; i cant figure it out

[ornate stump]

You will have to explain your situation as well.
