[severe crown]

woudl that require blender work?

[somber sequoia]

probably

[severe crown]

damn

i dont know anything abt blender

tried it once didnt work out well

[somber sequoia]

if at first you do not succeed, try, try again 🙂

[severe crown]

oh it wassnt the first time i mean

ive tried for like weeks with a avi once

[surreal salmon]

i dont understand why but my avatar is stuck T posing. its set as humanoid rig, when i try using gogoloco on it it does not respond to it.

i swapped the head on it from another model

[somber sequoia]

show your playable layers in the avatar descriptor

[surreal salmon]

aight one sec (unit being slow

[somber sequoia]

that seems to be the layers inside an animator

[surreal salmon]

oh my bad

[somber sequoia]

a) those things that say "none" - hit the X so they use the defaults. None means it won't use anything.
b) this isn't a humanoid avatar, you probably want it to be unless you're doing the whole locomotion system yourself

[surreal salmon]

the X are grayed out so i think thats done?

[somber sequoia]

oh, true, missed that. I rarely work with generic avatars.

[surreal salmon]

it was set to humanoid earleir before i tampered with it

[somber sequoia]

left side image - see the error? do what it says

[surreal salmon]

i can do enforce T pose and apply but after i hit done and go back to it it acts as tho it never happened

[somber sequoia]

that won't help

[surreal salmon]

errors found while importing rig in animation file. open import messagees folder found below for more details

[somber sequoia]

Yes. Do that.

oh - note it doesn't say 'folder'

[somber sequoia]

That'll be an issue

[surreal salmon]

ill just add fake eyes for now

[somber sequoia]

check the head section of the bone layout there, maybe that bone isn't in the right slot

[surreal salmon]

now its different

[somber sequoia]

are those eye bones direct children of the head bone?

[surreal salmon]

yes

wait nvm

[somber sequoia]

probably scroll to the top of that list and see what's there

[somber sequoia]

nothing blocking there

[surreal salmon]

nvm it actually is

[surreal salmon]

fixed

ignore the streaching i know what thats from

any idea how to handle mouth rotating?

[bleak basin]

am i just cooked

[surreal salmon]

u uploading for quest or pc?

[bleak basin]

pc

atp ill pay someone to do ts

[surreal salmon]

maybe dum down the textures or something

[bleak basin]

how

lmao

[surreal salmon]

when iu click on a image in ur assets u will see this

u can reduce image quality for like memmory

its a override that can be applied to pc and or quest

[prisma eagle]

Heya! Unity is throwing a null reference exception with the SDK when I try to upload an avatar for some reason. I uploaded several avatars just fine and then suddenly it does this.

[somber sequoia]

8 errors but you aren't showing the first - scroll up, look there.

also that Unity is buggy, I'd suggest using .22f1

[prisma eagle]

Circumvented the issue by using a different unity project that worked

[tidal kelp]

how do u fix this issue on the chocolat model my friend is making an avi and is having this issue😞

[somber sequoia]

looks like bad weight painting

[tidal kelp]

i see thank you!

[thorn iris]

Hi

[rigid vale]

Me and @thorn iris need help

[somber sequoia]

provide details

[rigid vale]

Chichi will

Basically @thorn iris needs help uploading there models into the game

To be used as avatars

[thorn iris]

Hey! I’m on mobile so I can’t upload avatars myself, but I’ve made and rigged two original models (Tikky and Chi Chi from my project TRC).

Would anyone be willing to help me upload them to VRChat? I can send the files, and I’ll fully credit you if needed 🙏

They’re already rigged—just need Unity + SDK setup and upload.

[somber sequoia]

Head over to the VRC Traders discord to commission people, you'll just get scammers DMing you around here.

[rigid vale]

Can you invite us

[somber sequoia]

I'm not in there. There's a link somewhere in #1204490664637890580

[rigid vale]

I couldnt find it in there

[somber sequoia]

there's a search box at the top...

[empty ridge]

Is there a common issue with Eye look looking above people's viewport instead of looking directly at people? I have a custom rigged avatar and it looks to be following the style guide for eye look, but it still always looks slightly above where it should be. When I use eyetracking its correct, but eye look seems to be the issue.

[teal laurel]

@bleak basin i also suggest to merge some materials in blender.
And remove assets you do not need for quest.

https://vpm.thry.dev

Adding thrys petformance tools to identify what takes up the most size in textures is also an easy way of reducing size

[sand cedar]

Im trying to make an avatar that can swap forms. How do I swap make it so both models are rigged and can swap

[wise rune]

Im new to unity and avatar creation as a whole, and I want to put an asset(A sword) on a avatar I bought. However when I import the avatar its body is just shown as one. No drop down for limbs or anything its just one thing. And I can't find anywhere else to attach the sword to

[somber sequoia]

IMO just use two different avatars, it's way more efficient and takes very little time to swap. That said, if you can do it with one rig, you can swap body meshes easily, but VRChat only runs visemes on one mesh so you'll have to animate those entirely yourself if you swap that mesh.

[somber sequoia]

usually you'd constrain a sword to a hand bone

[wise rune]

But I can't find bones anywhere, there's no drop down menu that lables different parts of the body

[somber sequoia]

look in the hierarchy

[wise rune]

This is all the avatar has

Those physbones are like tails and fluff

[somber sequoia]

it's under "Armature"

[wise rune]

ohhh im stupid im so sorry tysm!

[somber sequoia]

nah, just inexperienced.

[exotic slate]

hey guy if the package were both in PC and QUEST but not separate what does that mean you only need to make one project ?

[somber sequoia]

you can put multiple avatars in one project, sure.

[exotic slate]

no i mean like

a avatar with only one package and it containt both PC and QUEST

[somber sequoia]

sure

that's multiple avatars in one project

[exotic slate]

it not like seperate package for you to download the window first and implant the quest later

[bleak basin]

Im trying to add an avatar to quest

having issues atttaching pipeline manager without this grey screen not allowing me to move forward

[bleak basin]

@languid wyvern this is where im at

@bronze nymph ^

[ornate stump]

You have to check errors in the console. There are a few more showing up after you attach blueprint ID.

[bleak basin]

idk how to fix these ive only ever done this tdy

[ornate stump]

If you don't know what the error mean, you have to post it here so we know what is going on.

[bleak basin]

Okay, ty and one moment

does this help

[ornate stump]

Pretty much means you have to try to signout and signin again.

[bleak basin]

oh sdk?

of*

bc ive done it 1 billion times atp

[ornate stump]

Can you upload as a new avatar again though?

[bleak basin]

like restart? 🥲

[ornate stump]

No.

Just upload without blueprint ID.

[bleak basin]

oh i see yeah but i want the two connected and just wish i could figure this out

does this mean anything

[ornate stump]

That mean something else is error.

[bleak basin]

which would be? or does it not say

[ornate stump]

It doesn't say of course. "Other error" literrally is the error above that.

[bleak basin]

it won’t let me upload as a new one keeps saying relogin which i have

[ornate stump]

Try reset your modem or router as well.

[bleak basin]

just did a hard reset one moment

message on left comes up when i try to upload

[ornate stump]

Try changing the internet, or use cloudflare WARP app.

[turbid cedar]

?

[teal laurel]

A script is stopping you from building

[turbid cedar]

okay... does it say which one?

[teal laurel]

Yes

[turbid cedar]

so....?

[teal laurel]

Under Assets/Tools/copy_paste

Whatever asset that is, try re-installing it or removing it completely

[turbid cedar]

mk

[frail vessel]

where can i find he DOLLY model base?

[turbid cedar]

i have no clue which package that is ..

[turbid cedar]

if its public/p2u try jinxyy nexxy payhip and gumroad

[teal laurel]

Well, what all did you install in the project?

[turbid cedar]

modular avatar, liltoon, gogo, d4rkopti, poiyomi, vrc quest tools, gesture manager

[teal laurel]

Hmm, none of those create that folder if i am aware, dunno aboit modular avatar though

Bad advice, but just delete the script and see if it then works :P

[turbid cedar]

well the entire avatar uses modular i think it would explode...

[balmy barn]

can just move it out of unity temporary and back if stuff explode

dont think that modular , some obscure script

[turbid cedar]

might've been in one of my assets ill do some digging through em

[exotic slate]

there no SDK Pannel

i try to open this package on my creator companion it tell me to install a unknow Unity edit

i try to follow it step but it say the Unknow Unity Edit was unable to download

it a already existing file so it not the same thing where i gotta create a project and find the package and input it in

[ornate stump]

Check for errors in the console.

[exotic slate]

alright

it say something about AssetbundleFooterTest the type of namespace name "Test" could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly)

[ornate stump]

Try close unity, and delete Library folder from the project folder, and launch the project back.

[exotic slate]

it still bring me back to safe mod

should i exit ?

help ;-;

[balmy barn]

no idea what to do here , remove change sdk down a version and back up / try a new project

[exotic slate]

hey irumi thank you again and sorry for the ping i just know why it didnt show the SDK pannel

i extracted the file in the same zip file that have the same file i trying to extact

so it just completely didnt work in someway

but i just solve it by now

and thank you again

[exotic slate]

irumi how do i fix the VRChat Avatar Descriptor

[ornate stump]

How I suppose to know if you don't tell what problem you're having with it?

[exotic slate]

bruh

the unity

is so goddamn confusing

[ornate stump]

Same energy as I ask you how to fix my PC.

[exotic slate]

i forgot to double check the update project

but thank for being here

this stuff make you hair go complete white

is not luck is just i randomly i encounter some issue couldnt find a solution and ask irumi about it but after a few minute later before irume could response i accidenlty found the problem

[celest scaffold]

Hey everyone how are you doing.
Are there any latest tutorials/tools and tips for phys bones and making cloth/hair physics realistic?
Bones already exist

I appreciate any help 🙏

[ornate stump]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTTnWUkswkU

[whole dagger]

Have a problem with viseme in MMD. I added the Japan viseme to the original ones in blender but in some MMD worlds I think both Japan and english visemes are used causing the exagerated movement. Any assistance or suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks. Instructional writeup or video would be great.

did i post in wrong area?

[balmy barn]

not much you can do about that if they included both in the animation (guess they expected you to have either not both on the mesh) , you can open debug ingame to confirm if its trying to use both

i got animations but prefer to stick to japanease visemes for stations

( could force the ones not ment to animate with a toggle setting them to 0 when seated detected but kinda dumb way of doing it )

[celest scaffold]

Looks like the tutorial is still useful in 2026. Thanks!

[celest scaffold]

After playing around with the phys bones settings and getting normal result, i noticed this issue with the jacket when crouching. Not sure how i would fix it.

[balmy barn]

skirts and jackets like these are not easy, weightpainting / physbone angle limits / constraints

nr 1 reason you see very short skirts, they clip alot if they are long

physbone collider are .. terrible so id never recommend it , usable for small things

[whole dagger]

thanks . the visenes i refer to a fascial for mmd. thought there may be a bool function or someting i am missing

[celest scaffold]

The thing is i don't want to fix it in blender. Even without physbones the jacket is not moving correctly when bending over or crouching.
Weightpainting would be so much work 😭

No phys bone collider added

changed the angle but it still looks weird. Well i will play around till i find a fix. Thanks for tips

[balmy barn]

id try parenting the front part of it to legs so it would follow them instead of clipping, these jackets ive not tried at all

not all the jacket neet to move, uppper part will barely

[celest scaffold]

It's weird cause some models don't do that. Gotta take a closer look in blender.

[strong summit]

what do i do in this case?

[ornate stump]

Is there more error than that one?

[strong summit]

ughhh

[ornate stump]

The d4rkAvatarOptimizer one probably is the problem.

[strong summit]

yea found out, there are 2 of them in one avatar lol

[hexed summit]

how could i make my avatar textures ok with any world ?

because rn it just look ugly as fuck and pmo 😭

[ornate stump]

What do you mean ugly to begin with?

[hexed summit]

it looks neon

or

like

lemme show u

yeah

uh

[ornate stump]

If material isn't the same shading, then you just have to make sure you're using same shader for all material and all of them have same shading settings..

[hexed summit]

yep thats one thing

but the shaders will still look ugly, is there any preset that can be found online ?

[ornate stump]

Default liltoon shader is good enough, unless you don't like that.

[hexed summit]

mhhh

id check

can i use poi instead ?

[ornate stump]

You have to configure the shading manually because default setting is flat shaded.

[toxic crag]

guys how do i find a good avatar to wear? i just downloaded it on my pc i dont have vr tho

and how do i import it to the game

[ornate stump]

Ask in #1138520828556890214 . Also "good" is subjective and depends on personal preference. You better have to describe what exactly you're looking for. Otherwise, just go explore avatar worlds.

[toxic crag]

i did that but when i searched up stuff nothing came up

[ornate stump]

You have to create a new post.

[toxic crag]

what does that mean?

[ornate stump]

It literally has a button "New Post" in that channel.

[toxic crag]

oh no i thought u meant avatar worlds in the game

idk how to import any avatars into the game from here or any website

[ornate stump]

Avatar worlds are world that got listed in avatar category.

[toxic crag]

so u cant get avatars from it?

[ornate stump]

You use the public avatars.
If you mean uploading your own avatars, those will be personal avatars.

[toxic crag]

oh idk how to make an avatar

[ornate stump]

Just use public avatar then.

[toxic crag]

alright ill try to thanks

[sharp oasis]

got a blender question for anyone able to help.
The hair UVs of the avatar I'm working with is made up of tons of triangles, all the exact same number of polis.
Is there settings in the UV window that would snap these all to the same rotation and position so they all lay on top of each other?

[somber sequoia]

Nope, but there are add-ons that can "stack" them, I use one called ZenUV (not free), you might try Mio3 UV for a free one.

You'd probably have to re-unwrap them first though, they tend to work with like shapes only

I admit that often I still do stuff like this manually

[sharp oasis]

at that point I'll just keep doing it by hand 🫠
I know I should re-uv unwrap this model but sunk cost fallacy...

[somber sequoia]

if you do any baking with that, it's probably going to be a mess

[sharp oasis]

I only ever bother baking the position

tbh almost all the avatars I've worked with bake really badly anyway due to all the overlapping parts and seams so I've given up on AO maps

even though they do really look nice

tbh while I'm here I'll ask, in case someone is good in substance painter:
Is there a generator that would work alongisde the 3D Possition gradient generator that would turn the gradient blur into a zigzag more like this?

[ornate stump]

It's pretty much just using image editor paint blush tool with smearing tool.

[sharp oasis]

I'm usoing the position image to create a gradient on this messy UV

so wondered if I could "generate" that effect

that texture is fine if everything is facing the same direction and in the same location. but this uv isnt

[ornate stump]

That rather is baking into an texture.

[sharp oasis]

Like so far the gradient works

but of course has regular fade

(ignore white)

[sharp oasis]

what do you mean, sorry?

[ornate stump]

Baking mean creating a texture from the result of how material being rendered.

[sharp oasis]

yeah I've already baked the possition and I'm using that for the generator

I want to know if I could turn the regular gradient line into a zigzag looking like via some generator or something

[somber sequoia]

I did this once, just made a separate UV map on the object where all the islands were aligned, then did a single direction gradient.

[sharp oasis]

so pretty much this..

I guess I keep going then

[burnt bone]

can anyone help me with importing an avatar to unity?

[night ember]

its kinda just drag and drop

[burnt bone]

i tried it just says it couldn't decompile the file

[pine valley]

show the actual error message

[somber sequoia]

Also tell us what kind of file you have.

[burnt bone]

its a .unitypackage file

[somber sequoia]

ok good.

[burnt bone]

there

[somber sequoia]

Show the message in the console - see the first pin for help on doing that

[burnt bone]

pin?

[somber sequoia]

pinned message in this channel

[burnt bone]

oh

[pine valley]

if unity can't decompress the package, it's probably malformed

[somber sequoia]

yeah

[pine valley]

random disk corruption is unlikely but possible

or maybe something went wrong with the download

[somber sequoia]

Probably not needed here, but that message describes not cropping the image so much so we can see the context around it and other messages.

You usually want to provide as much information as possible.

I'm with Fen on this one though, try to re-download.

[burnt bone]

is this better?

[somber sequoia]

For future reference, no - show the whole console window, including the error count indicators at the upper-right and the scroll bar. So many times there are more errors above what someone has cropped the image to.

again, in this case it probably doesn't matter, so no need to keep doing this here.

[burnt bone]

it is just 2

sorry 1

but ok

btw where do i drag and drop it?

i'm just making sure

[somber sequoia]

personally I don't, I do Assets -> import package -> custom package, and then pick the file

but I assume into the Project window?

(someone else can confirm that)

[sharp oasis]

the area with the files

[somber sequoia]

yeah, that

[balmy barn]

i drag but very very rare im working with unityfiles

[burnt bone]

i redownloaded the file but it didn't work

[ornate stump]

Try getting some other packages. If you can import other packages, that mean the package you had is broken.

[burnt bone]

it was just the package it seems ty guys for helping me

[somber sequoia]

ah good

[burnt bone]

i need help agian

[sharp oasis]

we be here so wassup

[burnt bone]

the materials are jank

[sharp oasis]

could you describe or screenshot what is happening with some more details

[burnt bone]

it's a bit hard to describe

[somber sequoia]

Looks like just basic blank materials.

did you just drag the model into a new scene? There's a scene you can open there, probably all setup for you

I assume you read that thing that says to read it...

[sharp oasis]

there is a readme

-# you read that right?

[burnt bone]

i forgor at first

[somber sequoia]

huh.

[sharp oasis]

not always, but most of these purchased avatars have some info on how to set them up

[burnt bone]

ig i got to start over

[sharp oasis]

they are also often already set up in one of the folder as a Scene or as a Prefab

[burnt bone]

right?

ty

it worked (tho, i also had to put the shaders on standard but ty anyway)

[sour ravine]

anyone know how to like put a toggle into another toggle💔

[pine valley]

are you creating this yourself, or are you using VRCFury Toggle components?

either way, you should explain what you're trying to create

no technical details; just describe what the avatar should be able to do

[sour ravine]

weapon toggle

it uses modular avatar

vrcfury i can understand but not modular avatar

i made a weapon sub toggle and was able to put all the vrcfury weapons into it but cant find out how to put the modular avatar ones in it

[pine valley]

are you talking about moving a menu control into a different sub-menu?

[sour ravine]

like yk how some avatars have like a sub menu that says something and u go in it and it leads to other sub menus of diff things?

[somber sequoia]

You make a menu item that's a sub-menu, and then drop a different menu file in the menu slot it has.

no idea about modular though.

[fresh rose]

Anyone else having issues with the creator companion?

[ornate stump]

There can be multiple different issues. If you want someone to help looking into, you have to elaborate what issue you're having with.

[fresh rose]

I keep getting this

Anytime i open the creatoe companion

My internets fine

[ornate stump]

See this message #creator-companion message

[fresh rose]

Tyyy

[still shuttle]

Is there a way to hide the bones when in the configuration window. Im tryna do something and I cant see through allat

[somber sequoia]

all the bones? Just hide the armature. Otherwise you can set up bone groups and hide specific groups that way

[still shuttle]

Weird hiding the armature doesnt seem to do anything

[balmy gyro]

Sooo im having an issue with weight painting a bodysuit when i dont include the leg weights, the bodysuit clips into the hips. however i want the bodysuit to be weighted only to the hips to avoid clipping when the legs move im not sure if the leg bones are too close or whats causing it does anyone know how to fix this

[fluid rain]

so im having issues porting my vroid vtuber model (Vrm model) to make into a vrchat avatar, ive gotten many errors especially with bones and other stuff, i need a full help cuz i dont know unity well enough and tutorials havent helped, tried to ask chatgpt but they gave me useless information. ive gotten phy bone errors and other errors and poor optimation. i am really stuck and i am trying to use my model to do streams and its hard using a model that i cant call mine.

[somber sequoia]

feel free to show the errors, see the first pinned message in here for help on how to do that. Also state which method you're using - trying to import the .vrm directly to Unity, or importing it into Blender first, then exporting an FBX from there (what I would suggest).

[somber sequoia]

looks like weight painting issues to me.

[balmy gyro]

no way 😭

i know but is it possible to remove the leg weights, i just want the hip bone weight

[somber sequoia]

sure

you could just remove the vertices from that vertex group

[balmy gyro]

yeah well, it is possible when i do it the mesh goes in to the body

even when i weightpaint the hip bone weight

[somber sequoia]

without actually having it in blender and examining it myself, all I can say is yep, sounds like weight painting issues 🙂

[balmy gyro]

can i send you the fbx file? i dont know whats causing this and it happens everytime

[somber sequoia]

I'm not doing commissions at the moment

[balmy gyro]

dont worry abt fixing it.. just an explanation pls :c

[somber sequoia]

it'll be the same answer

[balmy gyro]

oh well alright thanks anyway

[pine valley]

this is Unity, not Blender!

it's the humanoid avatar configuration screen

[somber sequoia]

oh! that wasn't clear, sorry

[restive prism]

Question! Does anyone know how I can have my quest avatar remain clothed when I change clothes in my PC avatar because my quest friends say I'm naked and yeah I'd rather not be naked for them. If there's a way to get a default clothing that'll be great!!

Sorry I meant quest version of my avatar lol

It's one avatar a quest side and my PC side I play PC a lot more but I want her clothed not naked...

I don't mind if it's a default outfit for quest as long as she's clothed

[fluid rain]

i did vrm directly to unity but i can try to do fbx. the errors ive gotten before is then..

[somber sequoia]

don't crop the console so much, show the error count indicators in the upper right and the scroll-bar on the right side.

but, it seems to be an error with the vrm convertor tool, I can't help with that anyway.

[frail vessel]

does anybody know why when i imported the fbx the leg mesh split?

[somber sequoia]

faces not jioned?

[frail vessel]

how would that work, sorry im still learning all this haha

[somber sequoia]

just a guess without seeing the mesh, maybe there's a sharp edge there, either by declaring it sharp, or it's two edges on top of each other rather than one

[frail vessel]

i can see through it though, like as if it's a crack

[somber sequoia]

Yes, then it probably is

unless it's a flipped face - which you can check by turning on the face orientation setting in the view overlays in blender

Ok here's a dumb VRCFury thing, which I am annoyed to be working with. Got an empty game object at 0,0,0 and have ArmatureLink on it, trying to stick it to the right hand. The object moves to the right place in the hierarchy, but is positioned somewhere not actually on the right hand at all. Why?

all of the checkboxes under "transform alignment" are checked, but it doesn't seem to matter.

[frail vessel]

this?

[somber sequoia]

if by "this" you mean the "Face Orientation" checkbox, yes.

[frail vessel]

yes, sorry i should've circled it

what am i looking for tho, i don't think anything changed

[somber sequoia]

Heh, if I 0 out the transform in play mode, it's in the right place. Why is that offset?

[lilac musk]

Make sure your avatars are using the same parameter lists. Then also make sure your quest side animation controller has proper solution states for any given setup the pc expression menu values are. Should keep everything in your control.

If you're using VRCFury, Modular Avatar or anything like that, those will likely have their own solutions of which I couldn't advise you on.

[white topaz]

I am trying to fix up the collisions on my skirt as they don't do very well. I got told this but really unsure how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

"There's also an issue with the bone rolls of your skirt, so the axis are facing unfavorable angles. Instead of pointing out spherically to do angle limits properly"

[restive prism]

So don't use the quest parameters for the quest avatar? Use the same one as PC?

[somber sequoia]

always use the same parameter list, yes

[lilac musk]

it's the easiest way to keep things functional

[restive prism]

Ah okay :3 so say for instance I change my outfit on my PC Avi and my quest Avi doesn't have it obviously will it stay in one default outfit I have on her so my quest friends see her clothed ?

[somber sequoia]

you can use different animations on each avatar, they're totally different other than the parameter list

[lilac musk]

It completely depends on how the animation controller is setup. If you have a state for every possible parameter change, then it should do as you made it. However if it doesn't, it can do things you didn't expect/want

[restive prism]

Well I'm crossing my fingers it worked 🤞🏻 only cause I'm a noob when it comes to unity

Thank you all so much 😊🙏🏻

[pine valley]

Unity will split edges wherever there is a UV seam. I'm not sure why the vertices on either side would move, though

[pine valley]

(oh, is this in Blender?)

[golden jacinth]

can sm1 make me one🫩🫩

[white topaz]

bump

[ornate stump]

Bone roll is set from blender.

[white topaz]

Yes, I am asking for Blender help

[ornate stump]

You can visualize bone axis by enabling "Axes" in the armature data property tab, Viewport Display section.

[analog girder]

heya guys, i got an issue with the NKD Protogen base. I noticed that the hand and toe claws of the avatar are not affected by the worlds light, like, at all? It looks very weird and is bothering me quite a lot.
For more context: The hand/fur colour changes with the worlds light, while the nails always stay the same colour, as shown on the picture.
Already tried searching up my issue but well, i havent found much. Would appreciate any help :,)

and disclaimer, idk much about Unity, just enough to edit textures, assign materials and upload an avatar. and dont let me get started on blender. i can barely remove triangles

[little plume]

how do i get him out of bike pose?

[pine valley]

this is a bug with animation previews, iirc

Pumkin's Avatar Tools have a button to fix this

[little plume]

alr i downloaded that how do i fix it with it

[lilac musk]

Look for a button that says 'enforce t-pose' or something like that

[little plume]

in what menu exactly?

[severe crown]

face tracking error

just bought this a few mins ago follwing intructions but this error popped up

[pine valley]

You're probably missing a package

this prefab is a variant of another prefab

but that prefab is missing

check the instructions again; i'm guessing you need to install Jerry's Templates

[severe crown]

nah its hashs edits

but i got the face tracking i think but new ossue when the face tracking added

it made my vrc fury toggle this

[surreal salmon]

when i go to use gesture manager my jaw rotates 180 anyone know how to fix this?

[severe crown]

got the ft i think but made the vrc fury toggle this

[pine valley]

Are you inspecting a prefab here?

You’ll see that error if you are

[severe crown]

nope it i dragged the prefab up to the hierarchy as the intrcutions told me cuz it added it to my avatar so i had to redo my stuff

[pine valley]

Depending on your exact version, this sounds like a "curves" filter

it lets you remap values

e.g. 0..100 becomes 0..10

[shadow agate]

huge

[pine valley]

I forget which version introduced that

You could also probably just use a Contrast filter

[shadow agate]

can definitely try both

[wraith salmon]

So for some strange reason I am only able to upload avatars while using a vpn

This singular generic error is the only thing the console spits out along with a "avatar failed to upload" when I'm not using a vpn

[next yew]

no idea how too explain but i'd like for the black parts inside the ears to be visible in unity,, but it's not visible, how do i fix this?

[left gull]

check that your shader isnt removing it due to transparency settings

[next yew]

using toonlit i'll look now ty

i dont think it's the shader,, it's still happening even when i switch it to standard

whoops did you mean the one in blender..

yeah it's still happening

[tulip steeple]

Does anyone know what’s causing this lighting glitch?

The hair model was made in vroid studio and I modified it in blender to be more optimised, I also fully remade the rigging and weight painting for it.

It’s using vrc/mobile/toonlit as the shader

It looks perfectly fine in blender and I can’t find any issues with the geometry in that area so I’m kinda stumped on what to do here. It looks the same in-game as well and this model is for a friend so I don’t want to leave it like this when I give it to her.

[shadow agate]

disable shadows

[brisk lion]

Hi everyone, I'm new to this community, and I'm looking for someone who can make me a simple avatar.

[arctic ginkgo]

this is either a normal issue or vertex colors. Try removing any color attributes in blender. It should be towards the bottom of the vertex data tab.

[native grove]

can anyone help me rig my rec room 3D models bc i wanna make it an Avatar, as its hard for me to rig as i don't know how to use it right and my hardware isn't the best but its good

[tulip steeple]

colour attributes?

like just remove the materials on it completely?

[arctic ginkgo]

no, it's a category called "color attribute"

[shadow agate]

wrong server

[tulip steeple]

OH found itt

[arctic ginkgo]

look up youtube tutorials for low-poly rigging. Recroom avatars shouldn't be too difficult to weight paint, since the only connected parts that deforms are the fingers. Make sure to follow the unity humanoid rig standard: https://docs.unity3d.com/510/Documentation/Manual/UsingHumanoidChars.html

[tulip steeple]

OMG sunshine you are a life saverr tysm

[arctic ginkgo]

What this last part means is that you need to have the correct bones in the correct order, even if your model doesn't have that body part

[arctic ginkgo]

ofc! glad to help :D

[tulip steeple]

[native grove]

the models are fully render and done its just that trying to give it rig bones is hard to shape and keep still as most of the videos that i watch on them is just people talking to fast in the vid, btw they were made by me and exported

i use blender

[arctic ginkgo]

if the tutorials are going too fast, I like to use captions, slow down the video speed, and pause when necessary. Also look out for tutorials that show the keys pressed on the screen so that you don't miss any shortcuts you may be unaware of.

This tutorial is good, it's what I used when starting out, but it is slightly outdated – the current way to select bones while in weight painting mode is: Shift + Ctrl + Left Click https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkiWBSSuxLw

[native grove]

thanks

[livid river]

Any fix for hair cutouts not working on quest standard lite shader?

[somber sequoia]

cut out the mesh manually

looks like hair cards, that's going to be difficult to get to look decent.

I'd like to see the result if you do though

[arctic ginkgo]

you can try using the particle shaders: Additive and Multiply, but these won't give the correct effect. You can also cut out the mesh in blender, but try not to create new vertices from faces, only from edges, otherwise you will lose vertex data (blendshapes, weight painting, etc). Another potential solution is to use both multiply and additive together, but this is even worse for performance, so I would advise against it, especially in this use-case, since this avatar would require a lot of overlapping transparency, which is very performance-heavy on mobile devices

[odd inlet]

not a question about a model directly, but more about an icon of an avatar, is there another alternative way to put your own custom photo besides putting it in unity?

[ornate stump]

Use VRCX app.

[odd inlet]

thank you so much!!!

[ornate stump]

Also the vrchat website.

[odd inlet]

i remember not being able to, but turns out you just have to click on the avatar icon on itself.. whoops!!

[white furnace]

Hey guys, just got finished adding a bunch of animations to my avatar, and it's stuck in a crouching position. I'm worried that I won't be able to accurately map the eyes if the model is away from the default position.
The red dots on top are the eye bones for the model, and they aren't even close to lining up currently

I did it accidentally earlier, but not sure what I did to reset the pose after using gesturemanager

[ornate stump]

If it stuck bike pose in edit mode then you have to use Pumkin's tool to reset pose.

[white furnace]

pumkin's tool, I'll look into that. thank you

[white furnace]

THANK U

[alpine ingot]

Hello! So i got a Avatar here in blender. It's a MMD model, so i tried to look up tutorials on it. However those that i saw were like 8 years old or already prepared for VRC in mind.

I'm kinda grasping at straws. I have absolutely 0 idea how to bring this Model into Unity correctly because it does seem to be fully rigged, textured and even seems to have Bones for Gravity related things. I dont know what i need to prepare for Unity however if anything at all. Are there Ressources available that are up to date or am i simply stupid?

[ornate stump]

Just export as FBX file and import into unity.

[alpine ingot]

I do not need to prepare anything at all?

[ornate stump]

It's vague for whatever you already have done everything or not. Just proceed and see the result.

[alpine ingot]

I can give some more detailed info later today, however i can already say that by exporting as a fbx and importing into unity will create these lightly coloured bubbles all around her and there are no textures

[ornate stump]

Pretty much because you have to setup material in unity again. And I have no idea what the bubbles you're talking about.

Also "material", "texture" and "shader" are not interchangable terms.

[alpine ingot]

Hmm... i'm not on my PC rn so i can only show these bubbles based on a similar thing i did before

[alpine ingot]

Hm.. well in that case i think its Material, since its just all white

[north atlas]

Perhpas... use this as a refrence?
https://creators.vrchat.com/avatars/creating-your-first-avatar/

[ornate stump]

That's what I said to setup material in unity. Because material in blender can't correctly translate into unity material.

[alpine ingot]

I got a friend that is good with making avatars in unity, i'm mostly here because of the Blender part of it all

[north atlas]

making in unity... ??? eh... okay.

[ornate stump]

It seems to be a different model? And those bubbles probably are the objects for rigging that's got hidden in blender.

[alpine ingot]

Yes, as i mentioned it is a different model. But it was the same issue.

[alpine ingot]

Am i not getting something right? You use Unity for uploading the Avatars, yes?

Atleast thats how i did it before

[ornate stump]

It usually doesn't exist for other model. You might have to take a look for hidden objects in blender first.

[north atlas]

more like... unity is like a work bench where you slap everything together. You can export your finished "workbench" and sell that as a product so all the customer needs to do is slam the upload button. Or change something quikcly.

[alpine ingot]

I probably should come back when i'm on my PC to properly give accurate information. I didnt expect to get a answer so quickly.

[alpine ingot]

Yeah, she has done a couple Avi's with that. So i should be fine in that regard if i can correctly get it out of Blender.

[balmy barn]

mmd > blender (cats remove the colliders for pmx on import and you can add other things like translate/add viseme) > unity

they come with alot of them

[strong summit]

ugh, i cant find the setting at the audio, how do i turn it on?

[pine valley]

It's not a setting on the AudioSource component

This is a setting on the asset

e.g.

select it in the project window and then turn on "Decompress On Load" in the inspector

I believe the control panel can select the offending audio clip for you?

[alpine ingot]

So i´m on my PC now with the model open. Do i press fix mmd model?

[balmy barn]

99% of time on a pmx sure, rare one dont like it

importing with cats all the capsules are gone, just a few steps more and you have visemes (then there is atlas/adjusting bones/material merging/ect)

[alpine ingot]

Oh! so i just have to import it with cats, nothing else?

well with like the

few extra steps

[fluid rain]

how do i fix this?

[ornate stump]

Have you got any issue from that?

[alpine ingot]

It went from looking like this (left) to this (right) Thats how it should be, right?

[keen steeple]

Idk why I keep getting this message when I try to open a avatar project

Anyone know why?

[ornate stump]

Probably incomplete unity installation. So try reinstall unity.

[keen steeple]

Thanks will see if that works

[hexed mist]

heeeello everyone!!! i'm trying to upload an avatar i bought and this is what keeps showing up

anybody know what i should do?

[ornate stump]

That error is a sideeffect from other error. So check the more error above that one.

[hexed mist]

even after i give it a BP ID this shows up

[ornate stump]

Blueprint ID is also sideeffect. It's the one that's failed to build avatar. Click on either of them and see more detail.

[hexed mist]

could i paste the entire BP ID log here? i am not a techy person whatsoever and i'm just trying to upload a quest-friendly avatar so my friends can see me ;; i have no idea what i am looking at!

[ornate stump]

Blueprint ID is again sideeffect so you have to ignore that, and focus on the failed to build ones.

[pearl swan]

How make a collider that plays an audio source on impact with VRCFury?

[hexed mist]

alright i got it! should i show it to you then? because i still don't know what any of it means

[ornate stump]

If you don't understand and want people to look at then you have to post it.

[ornate stump]

Are there any more item above the failed to build?

[hexed mist]

this

so i wasn't sure because it looks similar

[ornate stump]

Can you screenshot the entire unity screen?

[ornate stump]

You had even more error, you have to scroll up.

[hexed mist]

oh no those are the same ones

i just tried it multiple times

ohhh wait

[ornate stump]

From the image, the text length of the top one is much shorter than other so it can't be the same.

[hexed mist]

this is the very first one

sorry i don't know anything about this so i might not know ;;

[ornate stump]

Pretty much you haven't import the package.

[somber sequoia]

the first 3 are problems - the gesture manager one isn't a big deal - but yeah, that's why

that first warning isn't a required fix but it does mean something might not work how you expect

[hexed mist]

i see

these are the next ones after the gesture manager thing

i tried looking at the gesture manager thing and it's just not there lol i have nothing to import

[somber sequoia]

seems like you didn't clear the console before doing whatever you just did

[somber sequoia]

it's an external package you have to install via VCC/Alcom

[hexed mist]

gulp

ohhhhhh i see

[somber sequoia]

if you want to use it. Or simply remove the object if you don't use it.

[hexed mist]

okay i removed it

guh

should i clear the console???

aaaaa

[ornate stump]

Yes.

Clear, build, and see what error came up first.

[hexed mist]

okay i got it

this is the very first error

[indigo compass]

The white symbol to the left signifies that it is just info, not an error.

Look for the first red

[hexed mist]

oh alright!! thank you

[somber sequoia]

Try to not crop the image so much so we can see the whole console

Specifically this symbol.

[hexed mist]

sorry ;; i am showing it how it shows me

[somber sequoia]

Yep, just trying to help you make it easier for us to help you

[hexed mist]

is the yellow one an error? or just the red one

[somber sequoia]

red = error, yellow = warning, white = information

[hexed mist]

okay okay thanks!

[ornate stump]

It's alway better to take the entire screen instead of small portion.

[hexed mist]

okay this seems to be the very first error i found

[somber sequoia]

Unity docs on this: https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/Console.html

[somber sequoia]

That is the problem

"missing script" means you didn't install some pre-requisite package.

[hexed mist]

i see! do you think this is an avatar problem or a unity/vrccc problem

[somber sequoia]

it's a problem in that you didn't install some package the avatar project requires

[hexed mist]

i see! thank you

[somber sequoia]

can't tell you anything else from just that error, but go look at the documentation the creator provided to see what is required

(hopefully there is a list)

[hexed mist]

there is! which is why i'm a little confused because i did put everything i needed with it, it didn't work, then they suggested getting rid of avatars manager, so i did, and the problem persisted, so i'm just at a loss raaaahh

but i will try adding it back and see how it goes. thank you once again!

[somber sequoia]

avatars manager doesn't put scripts on your avatar, so that's not it

[hexed mist]

tried again and this is the first error

is that not the same thing?

i added everything

[ornate stump]

Same thing. Then it's a guess work, the common packages are vrcfury and modular avatar, so add those if you haven't.

[hexed mist]

i have everything it requires ;;

[somber sequoia]

Well you can go to the object in question and remove the script if you want.

[hexed mist]

i tried looking for it in the search bar but i can't seem to find it

[somber sequoia]

it says the name of the object

[hexed mist]

there are multiple... none of it is specifically "string"

[somber sequoia]

no, not here, look in the hierarchy, since it's an object on your avatar

no idea what you are looking for in the project window

[hexed mist]

there doesn't seem to a be a string

[somber sequoia]

"a string"?

why are you looking for "string"?

[hexed mist]

i mean that what the object is called no?

[somber sequoia]

no

[hexed mist]

or am i stupid

oh awesome

so sorry

[somber sequoia]

it says "please change or remove it from [the actual game object here]"

[wide canyon]

So, I recently got eye tracking on my avatar, but for some reason when I look to the sides, my eyes are actually moving position slightly and clipping through my eyelids. Anyone know how to fix this sort of issue?

[somber sequoia]

Probably the model isn't designed for the eyes to be rotated as far as you are, you'll have to limit that via the eye tracking software if possible, or remodel the avatar

[hexed mist]

so is it the clone?

[somber sequoia]

It is on the game object it tells you it's on.

[ornate stump]

It got cloned during build process, you have to look for object and subtract the (Cloned) out.

[hexed mist]

oooooooooooooooooooooooh!!!!

[hexed mist]

okay okay so the object will have (cloned) in the name?

[somber sequoia]

It tells you the exact name of the object in the error message

[ornate stump]

You have to look for the object with the same name without the clone in the name.

[somber sequoia]

oh is this a case of Fury doing a weird thing?

[hexed mist]

okay guys this might sound insane but what is the object
because all i get from this is that the name is string

[somber sequoia]

Look before that

[ornate stump]

it says "please change or remove it from [the actual game object here]"

[hexed mist]

oh

that's the avatar itself

[somber sequoia]

the avatar itself is a game object

[hexed mist]

so i should

remove

the

avatar?

[somber sequoia]

no?

you look on that object to find a broken script component

[ornate stump]

remove from the object

[somber sequoia]

nobody ever said to remove any object

[hexed mist]

oh i did find this

[somber sequoia]

there it is

[hexed mist]

so i remove component

and i try now?

[somber sequoia]

That is one way to fix this, if you can't find out what package it uses

[hexed mist]

okay i'm trying to build again

oh my god THANK YOU guys

holy fart

thank you thank you

thank you sososo much

[alpine ingot]

Okay so i´m having a little problem with the Visemes from Cats, if anybody is familiar with that. I can select the "AA" "OH" and "CH" things for the mouth, however only the lips move and not the Teeth or Tongue.. and i absolutely have no idea if its supposed to be that way or simply something that has to be fixed

[somber sequoia]

the cats thing just turns 3 visemes into more of them. If the source ones don't move parts, the newly created ones aren't going to

[worn kiln]

Thanks

[alpine ingot]

with the sources you mean the keyframes opening the mouth, yes?

[somber sequoia]

iirc cats generates new viseme shape keys based on 3 basic ones, so by "source ones" I mean those 3 basic shape keys. Key frames are not used here.

I admit I haven't looked at cats closely in years so correct me if my info is out of date

[alpine ingot]

So we got these 3 basic ones, yes? I only selected the first currently

[somber sequoia]

Refer to the cats docs, but yes, you put 3 shapes into there and it should generate more

[alpine ingot]

When i preview the "A" it just opens the mouth without moving the teeth and tongue

My question is how i fix that by also moving the teeth and tongue

[somber sequoia]

are the teeth and tongue separate objects?

you "fix it" by making it do what you want it to do, i.e. move more parts around

if those are separate objects, I'd just join it all into one head object first.

[alpine ingot]

i just noticed i misspoke, i meant Shape keys, not keyframes

[somber sequoia]

ah, yep, makes sense then

[alpine ingot]

okay so, i got 3 Shape keys. One for the Lips, one for teeth and one for the tongue

I put all those in a head object and then it should work?

[somber sequoia]

not sure what you mean "put all those in"?

[alpine ingot]

I have no idea what a Head object is, so i assumed that it was similar to the parents stuff just for Shape keys

[somber sequoia]

it's just a mesh object, possibly named "head" or "body" or whatever you want

hang on

you seem to be confusing things.

shape keys are properties of a mesh object. They can only affect vertices on that mesh object.

[alpine ingot]

mhm

[somber sequoia]

if your teeth are a different mesh object than the face, then the face shape key cannot affect the teeth

I see very little reason to have a separate object for the teeth, so I'd join those together if they are separate.

[alpine ingot]

So it is not normal for them to be seperate objects? Just to be clear before this here i did in Cats the Join Meshes button for all

[somber sequoia]

"normal" 🙂

[alpine ingot]

Sorry if iam a bit hard to work with btw, a bit tired and nervous because i got a Wisdom tooth removal operation tomorrow

[somber sequoia]

Once you export it to .fbx for use in VRChat, each separate object * each material slot on those objects = one draw call. Draw calls are expensive, so you want few of these.
I join all my blender mesh objects into (usually) two for export: body, clothing.

You do whatever you want here 🙂

BUT - VRChat can only manipulate viseme blendshapes on one mesh object.

So probably having everything face-related as one object is ideal.

[alpine ingot]

How do i make them one mesh object then?

Because i did already Join all meshes together

[somber sequoia]

join them in blender (or similar)

[alpine ingot]

did i not do that? Atleast when i click on the model everything is highlighted as one singular mesh

[somber sequoia]

oh okay, maybe you did then

[alpine ingot]

the list also only shows 1 object

Thats why i´m trying to ask if i can somehow join the Shape keys together so i can let all 3 for Lips, Teeth and Mouth be played at once so i can put it into the Cats Visemes

[somber sequoia]

Yeah, Blender has ways to do that, you can set as many shape keys however you like, then do "new combined" in the shape key menu, or edit one and select vertices then in the vertex menu is "blend from shape", picking a different shape key as the source

[alpine ingot]

Just as a quick side question, which would seem more natural in the Visemes. The mouth opening up quite a bit or only a little?

[balmy barn]

sometime you run into a pmx that has sepereate shapekey for teeths, have to merge them before creating viseme (cats way)

could also be a bone, wich is 'fun'

[alpine ingot]

Nah, this one has Shape keys

atleast i dont see a bone for it

[balmy barn]

notice the bone in your face

could be upper/lower mouth tho

[alpine ingot]

Well i dont see a bone named Teeth, Tooth or anything named similar

i can look what it is tho

[balmy barn]

names translated or default tend to be upper/lower or anything really, just look for bones under headbone

go pose mode and move them to see what they do

[alpine ingot]

its just Mouth up, Mouth down, Mouth cavity

all that

[sharp oasis]

I want to create a map which contains different information on each R, G and B layers so I can use a single texture instead of three separate ones.
How can I do this in substance painter as making three layers with black masks of course just covers whats underneath instead of blending to make areas that overlap

[balmy barn]

how i did in gimp

[sharp oasis]

I've heard you can combine things like roughness, metallic and AO in export settings but I don't even know how I'd draw on those

[balmy barn]

poi shader can combine 3 and make it into a rgb i think, think ive used it once

[alpine ingot]

Is this good for the "Viseme AA" or does it seem a bit weird with the mouth that far open?.. and kinda no teeth.. or is that how it most of the time looks?

[sharp oasis]

I'm expanding on an existing asset and they overlap a lot

I guess I could make them separately and get poi to combine them

I'll go ask over on that discord

[somber sequoia]

I make a custom export preset to do that, and just color some layers

if I'm dealing with already produced greyscale maps, I use ImageMagick to combine them (the compose command)

[sharp oasis]

so instead drawing on the mask of three colour layers, I should draw on the maks of one layer thats only metalic, one thats only roughness and one thats only something else?

[somber sequoia]

oh it's combine: magick [4 input files] -combine -channel RGBA -colorspace sRGB output.png

no no

Check out the Poi export templates here: https://www.poiyomi.com/general/substance-painter

they have one that produces a combined one already

tweak as needed

[sharp oasis]

A link is great, thanks

I've used those before so makes sense that would work

[somber sequoia]

I based my own on this, and do a few more things with it. I also have a preset for "export a single map" and it just writes the base color, I use that for doing things like emission masks or similar

[sharp oasis]

the poi export settings takes the roughness and the metallic info and combines them into one. I want to be able to combine three painted layers. I can keep them coloured just so I can see but I guess I give one of them max metal, one max rough and one max something else?

[supple marsh]

Anyone know why some facial expressions are doing this thing where the background becomes transparent? If it helps, the base I'm using here is Mayo and I swapped out the body and face materials for something more pastel

[sharp oasis]

so I can then take their data and combine when exporting?¿

[supple marsh]

-# precious smile tho hehe

[somber sequoia]

You can't direct a specific layer's output to a specific output via export preset, you can direct specific output channels to different files

BUT

[alpine ingot]

How can i find mouth references so i can accurately use the correct shape keys for these sounds? Like what are these sounds called... or anything of the likes

[somber sequoia]

all the layers that have some kind of output on a specific channel (say, metallic) will automatically be combined into a single output channel for you

if that's what you're trying to do

[somber sequoia]

one sec, I know where that doc is

[sharp oasis]

tbh showing an example would likely be easiest. Won't send whole thing because paid asset but.

How would I recreate this???
Would what you're saying work or no

[somber sequoia]

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

[supple marsh]

Nvm I fixed it

[alpine ingot]

oh, didnt think it was the meta post

[supple marsh]

Turns out I left base mayo's face mats in there and the masks conflicted

[alpine ingot]

thx

[supple marsh]

lol

[somber sequoia]

Is that just R, G, B channels combined?

[somber sequoia]

it's a bit buried in VRChat's docs but they do link to this page

[sharp oasis]

its one texture with differnt info on each of its three channels, yes

[somber sequoia]

ok so have the 3 layers just be that one color output via base color and your output template should just have those three channels

like the default "base color" one does

[supple marsh]

Ok nvm it isn't fixed quite

[sharp oasis]

but the default combines all colours on top of each other. So I would lose some red and green here, no¿

[supple marsh]

The issue is this material here that gives her facial expression effects like blush and starry eyes and what not

Idk where to look to see what's causing it, that's the thing

[somber sequoia]

Oh that's not a matter of exporting, more a matter of how your layers stack, you probably want them to add rather than override. I forget which settings those are, I don't have Substance open, but it's the stuff on the right-side of a layer that controls how it mixes

[supple marsh]

Hmmm

Checked base mayo, this isn't really a problem present with the default body textures

[sharp oasis]

that's more like it ye!

[supple marsh]

Might be something with the alternate ones I bought for her?

[lilac musk]

You don't want it to be transparent?

[supple marsh]

I thought it'd be a unity only thing but uh

Yeah it shows up ingame as well

[lilac musk]

Was that answering my question?

[supple marsh]

Yeah I don't want it to be transparent

[lilac musk]

Why?

[supple marsh]

It makes everything behind it transparent

lol

[lilac musk]

Do you mean you'd rather it be cutout kind of transparent? Cause no transparent would look bad

Show me?

Oh, no I see it now

[supple marsh]

Straight faced vs smiling for comparison

Yeah

Its really weird but tbf this is my first time editing actual body textures this much

Seems like both materials are conflicting a bit weirdly

Disabled the facial expression effect materials and it didn't happen anymore

[lilac musk]

Yea, two transparent layers do funny things. I'd suggest try making your hair not transparent

[somber sequoia]

that's using a 2-pass transparent shader, for some reason, probably that's doing weird things

[supple marsh]

Oh I see

What should I try then

[supple marsh]

I dont think it is? Let me check rq

[somber sequoia]

I don't know anything about that shader, can't really advise its use

[supple marsh]

Tbf it is what came with base mayo

Let me compare with my sio edit since they're by the same creator

[supple marsh]

Okay so

I fixed it by changing the other face materials to cutout instead of transparent

[somber sequoia]

ah so probably it was the render queue values

[supple marsh]

It removes some expression stuff like her face getting darkened with her disgusted look and the more visible blush things when she smiles but otherwise everything else looks fine

[somber sequoia]

well maybe, could be a bunch of things, transparency is weird sometimes.

[supple marsh]

Actually

It might be the hair

One sec I'm gonna try some weird shit

[supple marsh]

Okay so it was that + the face mats was supposed to be opaque

Fixed, now she's happy again c:

[somber sequoia]

kinda difficult to know what's wrong without knowing how the shader works, perhaps ask in #shaders

and show the graph or code

[jade aspen]

[near loom]

Ok I am new to uploading avatars and I’m trying to upload a new avatar I got but the hands won’t move at all how do I fix it??

[lethal temple]

Nightbeast redux, ive never dealt with facetracking. Was trying to prep an avi for when i get it. Should this be a concern at all? Idk where to even start if so

[somber sequoia]

add the face tracking package

[lethal temple]

I cant find it😭 Do u know where i can get it?

[somber sequoia]

vrcft.io

[stable oracle]

Does anyone know how i can make my textures work on my model

cause i have 19 diffrent textures

[somber sequoia]

can you provide more info?

textures go into materials, materials go into slots on mesh renderers...

[stable oracle]

i can send a screenshot

if you want

[somber sequoia]

whatever you need to do

can't really advise without more info

[stable oracle]

im trying to make ford

but the texture is confusing me

[somber sequoia]

.. I'm not sure what you're asking here

[stable oracle]

ill just figure it out

sorry

have a great day

[analog fog]

Every time I open Creator companion this happens does anyone know how to fix it

[somber sequoia]

someone posted a solution in #creator-companion but I'm not sure where (I don't use it)

[proven cedar]

Does someone know how I can optimize a Booth avatar that uses modular avatar ?
Or turn it into an FBX where it doesn't break

[somber sequoia]

is it not a .fbx already?

[proven cedar]

It's as Prefab

[somber sequoia]

no model file? ugh. hope you didn't pay for that.

[proven cedar]

They do have the files but it looks like this . They used modular avatar to Put them together

[somber sequoia]

ok so a bunch of folders

is there a .fbx file?

[proven cedar]

yeah the main avatar is Prefab and the Fbxs is the Parts like hair, body etc

[somber sequoia]

annoying.

[proven cedar]

heres how one of the fbx looks like

This is why I dislike Booth avatars

[somber sequoia]

I'm not sure what you mean to be showing here? there's no useful info in that image

in that window, I always mess with the zoom slider so you can actually see useful filenames

[pine valley]

this doesn't mean much on its own

it's pretty common to have one model file for the body and then others for add-ons

you can quickly find all of the models by searching for t:model in the Project window's search box

[proven cedar]

What I am looking for is the fbx of the main avatar which I can assume that it doesnt have because I can't find it

[somber sequoia]

did you search for files named *.fbx by some operating-system searchin' thing?

[pine valley]

just searching for model assets will be sufficient

[proven cedar]

I did look for it but It seems that it only has the Prefab

[pine valley]

what is "it" here?

show us what you actually did there

[little plume]

where is it

[somber sequoia]

in the rig setup, near the bottom

[sour basin]

Chat I need some desperate help for this avi I just bought

Please and thank you for any advice

[somber sequoia]

what do you need help with?

that's a lot of triangles.

[sour basin]

Yea ;-;

The second yellow for animation clip

[somber sequoia]

make sure all states are either write defaults on or off.

it's not blocking you though - is something not working right?

[sour basin]

How do you check for defaults?

[somber sequoia]

examine each state in the animator. Or use a tool like Avatars 3.0 manager, it has a way to show them all

[coral ridge]

Could someone give me a little assistance on how to increase blink frequency using vrcfury blink controller? I have the speed in which the blink animation plays the way I want but I would like to have my model blink more often instead of just once every so many seconds.

Is this possible with the component?

[somber sequoia]

the way I'm reading those last two options, yes, they are for exactly that

[sour basin]

Alrighty

[ionic mortar]

Hey, I need some help to figure out why CATS is not recognizing my model's mesh to run it. I try to search how to fix it but couldn't find anything

[coral ridge]

Wouldn't transition time be more like the speed in which a blink is performed and not the interval? Then hold time being how long the eyes are shut for?

[somber sequoia]

This is literally the first time I have seen this component. I imagine it has documentation.

are you looking for less time between blinks? I agree, I don't see that there.

[somber sequoia]

what are you trying to do with cats?

oh I see, visemes

can you click those to choose the shape key?

[coral ridge]

Hmm I looked at the documentation before asking here for help and didn't see anything regarding intervals between blinking. Cause I'm trying to look for some kind of way to blink once wait 5 seconds blink again then wait 8-10 seconds before repeating the loop again.

[ionic mortar]

It doesn't show anything, just the "None" option

[somber sequoia]

it says 'no meshes found' too

[somber sequoia]

there's a vrcfury discord if you don't find an answer here

[coral ridge]

Yep I just asked hoping I can get some answers there thanks for trying to help ^^

[ionic mortar]

Yeah, I try to re-name the mesh to see if it was that but nothing changed. I've chacked in other models that I made but couldn't find the reason why is not recognizing the mesh

[somber sequoia]

the name shouldn't matter, it probably works on what mesh is selected

[ionic mortar]

Oh, I fixed, It was the armature that wasn't assigned yet

[sour basin]

Thank you so much @somber sequoia

[gloomy breach]

I uploaded a new avatar. This appears on the avatar details. Is this new???

what is happening? None of those acknolwedgements are accurate (except gogoloco)

[lilac musk]

Bug? Probably info from another avatar got attributed to yours. VRChat does funny things sometimes

[somber sequoia]

where is that configured?

[lilac musk]

Only place I've seen it is on the website

[somber sequoia]

oh I didn't know that existed

[lilac musk]

Yea it's been a thing for a lil while now, but not many people have used it. I think once more specific market stuff comes out, it will be somewhat more relevent

[gloomy breach]

yea. I am very confused. where can I edit this?

did someone hacked my account?????

[somber sequoia]

on the website, as was just said?

[lilac musk]

On the website, find your avatar and click the edit button.

Your account likely isn't the problem, though there's nothing wrong with changing your password to something more secure

[gloomy breach]

I am on the website, looking at my avatar details and there is no acknowledgements tab

[lilac musk]

Do you not have this button?

[gloomy breach]

yes, I did click on that

ah, I refreshed the website and now it shows up

however, it is... blank... weird. thanks tho!

[glass solar]

sorry to interrupt but for some reason when i play the animation only I can see the character dissapear and reappaear ingame, only others see the character only dissapear ingame

[wet parrot]

Hey stupid substance painter / texturing issue, so I wanted to retexture my model and I was having this weird bleeding/artificating issue with it so I decided to completely re-uv unwrap the model, did it and I still have the same issue. In the screenshot I'm texture painting with allignment set to UV and no matter what I do when I do the green painting it wont paint over the weird pixel artifacts. Anyone got any idea's what I can do to fix this?

heres a gift so you can better see the problem

[somber sequoia]

can you zoom out so we can see the size of that island on the whole UV map? I'm betting it's just kinda small, and also since it's curved it's always going to have some jagged edges

obviously straight edges are way better, though not always possible

[wet parrot]

heres the full uv

[somber sequoia]

yeah, makes sense

[wet parrot]

I believe I made the project a 2k texture too

should I make it larger?

[somber sequoia]

I doubt it's worth the drawbacks

[wet parrot]

so would it be better to just manually paint the texture in something like photoshop?

because the jagged edges look really shit LMAO

[little plume]

i installed pumpkins avatar tools and I still dont know how to fix the bike pose

[zinc willow]

Is there a way to make a sender/receiver where only the person with said sender/receiver can see a item that others without can't?

[plush ember]

Can someone lowkey help teach me how to rig a model like this it's confusing

[ornate relic]

hey rq what base is this??????? I remember liking it but I don't know what to search to find more

[ornate relic]

a heart reaction is unsurprisingly unhelpful

[grim python]

i don't know anyone who can make avatars personally, i'm working on my own but it's very overwhelming (i'm doing just fine though, not asking for comms).

Is there any better discords or closer communities since this is really broad and its hard to ask for questions (learnt everything from similar posts)

if so please dm me

❤️

might as well add on, it's based off trickle's MV

i can never get the shoulders right can somone circle the EXACT place i need to put the shoulder bones

does this look right?

[vapid hedge]

i did it works now

[severe crown]

Would I have to reimport vrc fury in the project?

[ornate stump]

You should be reading the message with red border.

[little plume]

is there a way to bypass clipping distance?

[reef cove]

What export settings should I use in Blender? I just exported my avatar and when I rotate my head the camera moves about 100 meters away.
In the past, another avatar would be fine, but the shader's border ratio would be 100 times too large

[round comet]

I use these

Buh wont embed

[reef cove]

Thanks, I will try them out!

[round comet]

Sometimes if you import with the incorrect scaling it can possibly mess stuff up. Also applying transforms may solve it too

[reef cove]

Your settings worked, thank you! The textures are broken if I place the FBX directly in the screen, but if I overwrite the old FBX it works flawlessly. All I'm doing is making new shape keys, so you've solved my problem

[round comet]

Awesomesauce

[somber sequoia]

Yeah you'd have apply your materials to the fresh model

that's expected

[reef cove]

When selecting material, Unity suggests from the list of all materials in the scene. Same when I choose eye bones for eye tracking, and colliders for dynamic bones. So if I have 5 copies of said avatar in the scene, the names will be the same and I won't be able to tell which is correct. This is a little unrelated, but I want to know if users more experienced than myself managed to find a way to deal with this

[somber sequoia]

I know which materials go where, so I simply drag them into the appropriate slots on my mesh renderers, or optionally set defaults in the materials tab in the inspector for the model file itself

This is really just a project organization issue.

I also generally have very few materials on a given avatar, often just two.

[pine valley]

what's going on here, exactly?

[little plume]

I figured out how to bypass clipping distance with poiyomi nvrm

Im trying to make an effect where you are under water and that planet is there

wait nvrm the bypass isnt working, strange

well it was working but now its not idk what i changed

[pine valley]

(did you turn off Cull?)

[round comet]

Oo wow thats so pretty

[little plume]

does that turn off distance clipping?

[pine valley]

it causes triangles to be pressed against the far/near clip planes instead of being discarded

(which will cause absurd amounts of z-fighting)

I've used it for a world with extremely large objects in its skybox

[pine valley]

in that case, they're 100% fogged by the time they'd start fighting

so it's a non-issue

[little plume]

i need to add some more effect but im getting pretty close to the effect i want

somehow before i made it so it doesnt clip but now it does

all i did was change the fake skybox clipping

[upbeat acorn]

Every time I import a model into Unity, the character just falls over. Any fix?

[little plume]

rotate it

[upbeat acorn]

In unity?

[little plume]

yes

[somber sequoia]

it being face down like that suggests the orientation is wrong in the model - is +Z up in Blender, and all transforms are applied?

[little plume]

also try editing its humanoid

[little plume]

yeah listen to this guy idk

[somber sequoia]

or did you export with some weird orientation settings?

[pine valley]

Does this model actually have an armature?

the mesh itself (the asset with the grid icon next to it) is expected to be tilted forwards

however, the prefab should still be upright

[gaunt knoll]

Biggest hurdle in blender Y+ not being up

[somber sequoia]

heh, that's such a fun debate.

[gaunt knoll]

In my mind Y = yaw and I don't know why they don't change it

[somber sequoia]

too late now

[gaunt knoll]

I was going to say that 🤣

[somber sequoia]

in my mind Z goes up because X and Y are map coordinates.

[gaunt knoll]

Aaaa I can see that
If they change it now people will got mad I bet it's been the same for what 20 years or even more

[somber sequoia]

yep

[inner trout]

i wanted to make a low poly model but this was all i can make

blender is so hard

[somber sequoia]

good start

[inner trout]

ty

i got help from a avatar creator

named SirBubbinator

how do i upload it?

i know its blank

but i mean as a avatar

[balmy barn]

first you need bones or it wont do a thing

[inner trout]

oh

ty

lemme find out how to add bones...

[balmy barn]

something like that, some just need to exsist for it to be humanoid

probably want weights on head / wrists / chest - torso - or spine << this part can be bendy (neck maybe)

[lunar needle]

guyss i've been trying to fix this for a long time now
i just wanna have a little annoying cat following me
i dragged the prefab (https://booth.pm/en/items/5560021)
into the hierarchy of my avi and thought vrcf would handle the rest
and it did but the cat didn't meow and didn't dissappear
it was following me even if I toggled it off

[balmy barn]

name in the prefab seems wrong its looking for Awesome Cat Follower [VRC_CONSTRAINTS] , but prefab name is Awesome Cat Follower [VRCFURY]

rename it, then it works

[balmy barn]

fix the name of prefab to > Awesome Cat Follower [VRC_CONSTRAINTS]

[lunar needle]

thank you!!!!

[torn remnant]

soo how would i fix this...

[teal laurel]

Optimize the avatar

[ornate stump]

Check with world toolkit and see what takes up the size.

[teal laurel]

Drop textures, remove assets that aren't used, set right compression etc

[teal laurel]

World?

[teal laurel]

I suggest something like Thrys performance tools to find textures you can drop

[ornate stump]

VRC World Toolkit has a tool for checking build size which can be used on avatar.

[teal laurel]

Huh, what does that all show?

[ornate stump]

Every asset that got included in the package.

[teal laurel]

Oo

I personally use https://vsk.lox9973.com/abstat/ for that.
But imma definitely also take a look at what you mentioned

[ornate stump]

It probably does the same thing.

[balmy barn]

i just use editor log after a offline build

buildsizeviewer does the same just in a unity window

pretty sure that one up there have a massive FBX (mesh) people love slapping on quest shaders and call it a day

[teal laurel]

Ye

[gaunt knoll]

add fury to the packages

[timber wharf]

actually nah, world toolkit misses some internal unity stuff. so while fine to look for big stuff while the numbers add up and to see what to crunch, in some cases the other one shows some extra assets (being 2/3rds of the world size, sometimes), since its working with an actual file that gets uploaded.

also world toolkit doesnt care for vrc compressing the final asset where 4k mostly black texture turns into basically nothing for download size etc

[cobalt cloak]

how can i make that other person can interact with my objekts like a ball

[grim python]

this is the funniest thing i've seen today

[lunar needle]

it doesn't meow :( can you help me again

[round swallow]

Hey ! Sorry to bother , I have a problem I can't seem to find the solution to !
I'm trying to upload an avatar , using vrc ce , i got all the good packages needed ( I checked multiple times) but when I try to hit "Build & Publish" It just doesnt do anything, and stays on this :
Does anyone knows whats up ? I can't for the sake of me find anything online !
Thanks !!

[dapper osprey]

guys can someone publish an avatar for me? im unverified my cc and i cant 🙁

[grim python]

I'm not the right person to ask but it looks like your exceeding the limit of vrchats constraints (skinned meshes renders: 25, max 16), 113610 verticies (max 70000?)

the others are just recommendations and performance but your avatar is unoptimised and exceeding the max limit

[round swallow]

Well its not the first one that I import that have this message, if I remember corrrectly, would that make it so the building avatar bar would just not budge ? ( i'm still learning)

[timber wharf]

@grim python none of those are 🛑 blocking issues, just very poor

[somber sequoia]

"unverified my cc"?

[dapper osprey]

i cant post basically

new account in vr
