It's hard to find good info on sadly. I will be making a tutorial series on YouTube during the next half year, but that's not out yet sadly

[daring patio]

understand. you are also right. However, it's interesting for you to make videos about it in the future.

[celest grove]

Oh this channel exsists!

I'm using Valems XR tutorial and for some reason my hands (AKA the cubes) are in front of the controllers. Anyone know why??

How do I publish my game to app lab?

Or just how do I publish my game

(preferably to sidequest)

[severe saffron]

Is anyone using reflection probes? (I would imagine someone is right?!)

if so, have you experienced horrible seams in all cardinal directions?

if so, do you know the fix? if so @ me because that would be dope.

got a lot of shiny objects in my game, but there's a horrible cross/seam in each direction. And yeah, I disabled compression on the cubemap, and checked the "fixup edge seams" checkbox. What else could I be missing?

Is android/quest just not capable of rendering a cubemap without seams?

[alpine ledge]

How do i download my game on my quest under "unknown sources" and test it directly from there so i dont have to use a cable or air link

[north path]

@slender belfry
App lab: go to the oculus dev site, follow instruction
Sidequest: go to sidequest site, follow instruction

[north path]

Is it only on android?
Which unity version?
URP or built in?

[north path]

You can't, you need to sideload it via adb.
If the app is on app lab you can use that instead

[alpine ledge]

can i set it to private on app lab?

untill its finnished

[north path]

I think so?

App lab isn't really that public anyways

But there probably is an option for it

[severe saffron]

Is it only on android

Does anyone here at all know how to build to android phones and VR at from the same project?
Has been a sticking point for a few days now

[north path]

Don't tick enable xr on startup and only initialize xr when a VR headset it detected?

[white briar]

can someone help me

pls

[pine bison]

Make sure you're building to a path that doesn't contain any spaces or special characters

[white briar]

?

[icy spindle]

Cheers for the response, yes I have tried that. If you look at the screenshot of the forum post from the user with the same issue, that doesn’t work unfortunately. I’m trying to find a workaround for that if you have any other suggestions

[north path]

Maybe make a system without oculus dependancies (via openxr)
@icy spindle

Otherwise you have to modify oculus code

[raven elbow]

It took me about 4 hours to get this to work. I'm just trying to get the GameObject that gets set inside the XR Socket Interactor. What I'm wondering is, is there a simpler way?

    [SerializeField] private GameObject notchSocket;
    private GameObject arrow;


    public void PrepareArrow()
    {
        XRSocketInteractor socket = notchSocket.GetComponent<XRSocketInteractor>();     //Get the XR Socket Interactor from the Notch
        IXRSelectInteractable obj = socket.GetOldestInteractableSelected();             //Get the Interactable object thats in the socket

        arrow = obj.transform.gameObject;   //The Game Object *arrow* that was loaded into the socket

        Destroy(arrow);
    }

[jaunty nexus]

Is there an example of how to make an object interact with a ray from a controller in a specific way when it is hovered?

I thought an "XR Simple Interactor" would work... but I needs to have "something" that i don't understand yet to know that a ray is over it

[icy spindle]

We got it woking, which is great. It seems to be an error with mac android builds. We tried on a pc today and there was no issue.

One other question though:
Do having more assets and frameworks in your project affect the performance of the builds? My team mate and i have brought in VRIF, a VR asset, into our project to use in some scenes. However we have noticed a marked difference in framerate on the normal builds since bringing in VRIF, even when when its not in the scene. Why would this be?

[jaunty nexus]

for the new Input System, there is UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputDevice .... but I found for OpenXR inputs is UnityEngine.XR.InputDevices which is not the same. How would I get the UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputDevice for OpenXR?

var inputDevices = new List<UnityEngine.XR.InputDevice>();   UnityEngine.XR.InputDevices.GetDevices(inputDevices);

[north path]

For performance stuff open the profiler. Is is not active it shouldn't affect build performance

Is there any way to make a overlay camera show in VR?

(Canvas with the Overlay mode)

[pine bison]

No, the equivalent would be a camera space canvas

[forest roost]

well ye but that doesnt work

my camera isn't in the scene from the start so I can't use the hierarchy to assign it, so I'm using this:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class SetRenderCamera : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        Canvas canvas = this.GetComponent<Canvas>();
        Camera camera = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("MainCamera").GetComponent<Camera>();
        canvas.worldCamera = camera;
    }
}

(the camera comes from a different scene with DontDestroyOnLoad())

^this script assigns the camera fine, but it doesnt show it. neither on PC nor on VR

no text no nothin

[tawdry anchor]

Whenever i click play on my vr game in unity it just gives me the loading screen on oculus link and crashes my unity i have tried multiple times and restsarted my pc idk what to do it does it every time i make a vr game

I have checked yt and can not find anybody else with the same issuer

issue

[forest roost]

can you try clicking play without having the oculus app open and no quest linked?

if the issue still persist, you probably have a script that causes an infinite loop or something, which then crashes unity

[tawdry anchor]

Its fine when my headset is off but when its on it crashes

[white briar]

help me

gtag fan game

[tawdry anchor]

Its still not fixed and its really starting to annoy me it does it on every vr prodject i make and i followed a tutorial but nothing is working

[obtuse imp]

You could try and move it around the play test then copy component

[forest roost]

not broad enough, learn C# and how to show errors properly.

[pine bison]

The distance here is 41 meters away, meaning it will be behind the environment. Try setting it to something like 1

[forest roost]

How can I access that via code

the plane distance property isn't showed without a camera referenced

oh nvm it's just canvas.planeDistance

[gray estuary]

Hi, I'm having some struggle with VR and Photon.
I'm using the example of Fusion shared project and try to implement XR Toolkit. When I grab an object, I have to grab before the collision with the object.

I only send position and rotation to my custom avatar who only have network object and network transform.
The bug doesn't happen during the few seconds I'm offline, but when it log in and the avatar spawn, something mess with my interaction.
Any idea ?

[crude glen]

Hi I’m building a vr game for fun and I was trying to build a bolt action rifle, I’m looking for a good tutorial to get me started on building it from scratch and not using an asset from the asset store preferably. Thank you for any help in advance! Feel free to ping me🙂

[forest roost]

Different game objects with grab interactables, use sockets and stuff.

Making a gun shoot is as simple as instancing a ray cast

Then you can just have a Health script on the opponent and make the Hit.GetComponent<Health>() -= damage

[night quail]

Having issues with my game, im a new developer and when I hop in my hands are doing the wrong animation. I dont even have a thumbs up animation in the game yet they do it and when I press the trigger they ball up but the thumb has no corilation to the trigger at all. I am working with a custom animation, hand model, and everything excluding XR interactions. Any help on where to start debugging.

[night quail]

I got it now down to where it will do all the other hand positions correctly such as pointing and pinching but still the hand is stuck closed and wont open.

[tiny niche]

if the animation is playing, its clearly included in the game

[white briar]

if someone want to play my game here is it

[mossy frost]

so i tried uploading a vrchat model , and it wasnt quest compatible at first, i managed to make it quest compatible but now it no longer works for windows, does anyone know how i can get it to work on both platforms? performance level is good.

Is there any impact of putting high values of gravity and mass in to the virtual object ?

[storm ether]

Please can someone help my unity project has just disappeared and I've got so many errors

[tawny pilot]

Any idea why grabbable objects are flying around my VR hands like crazy when I try to hold them?

I'm using Open XR and the XR Grab Interactable component set to "Velocity Tracking." It still happens even after adjusting Angular Velocity, Drag and Angular Drag (Rigidbody), and setting an Attach Point.

[sick moat]

i need help i try to build my game to my headset but i am missing the recommended android sdk tools and android ndk

[north path]

Install it in unity hub and after go to preferences - 3rd party tools in unity and select use installed with unity

[north path]

Maybe collision is still enabled?

[north path]

Install the Input System package from the package manager

[north path]

Yes? They get more gravity and act with more mass in physics interactions?

[night quail]

The open hand animation wasnt, I just ended up caving in and using the oculus hands and remodeling them.

[tawny pilot]

Thx for getting back to me. Can you explain what you mean? They both have colliders on them. Rigidbody is set to Continuous Dynamic collision

[sick moat]

oh sorry how do i install it in unity hub?
\

i mean how do i install it

[tawny pilot]

Tried turning off the hand colliders while holding the object, and it doesn't affect it at all

[tawny pilot]

I think it is under Unity Hub > Installs > then click the gear and click add modules

[sick moat]

ok

it says they are all installed but still wont work

[storm ether]

Why doesn't "Enable Fly" work for XRI Toolkit?

Steps:
New empty project.
Import XRIT 2.3.0-pre.1
Drag Complete XR Origin Set Up into scene
Select XR Origin gameobject > DynamicMoveProvider > check "Enable Fly" and uncheck "Use Gravity"
Playtest. Try to fly with Left controller joystick...
Strafe and other movements 'just work'. But not flying. Why?

Docs seem lacking/unhelpful https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.xr.interaction.toolkit@2.3/manual/continuous-move-provider-action-based.html

[rugged hearth]

Can peer to peer multiplayer work on the quest two or is it just not capable

[tawny pilot]

the solution to my problem was that it was colliding with the player capsule collider that was invisible and intermittently wherever i was standing 👌

[sick moat]

hey zillieness it says they are all installed but it still says it

[buoyant jolt]

We do a ton of multiplayer on quest 1 & 2, Pico 2, 3 & 4, including peer to peer. No problems with it that I know of.

[dry wigeon]

when I go to play my game on my quest
it dosent "immerse" me
it opens a tab for my game
and starts it but Im not in the game nor can I control it

Maybe the force is too high then? Your description isn't too clear

[night quail]

Anyone know how to add animations to the valem VR hands? I am having so much difficulty as a new dev and have put almost 48 hours worth of work in and still have yet to get any type of hands working, the closest I have gotten are the valem vr hands but they dont have a point animation, I tried making one but it never would animate properly with the blend tree.

[north path]

I had success with this one: https://youtu.be/DxKWq7z4Xao

@night quail

[night quail]

I tried that but my hands kept looping and it wasnt the style I was going for, I am wanting that blend tree look where you can have slight pressure on the trigger and like the way it works just dont know why its not working. I got the blend trees working originally but they wouldnt work with my custom hands.

[north path]

Blend trees can do that yeah

Depends on how you set it up

[night quail]

I DID IT, HOLY CRAP

IT WORKS

You dont KNOW how much sleep deprived I am over this.

FOR A FRICKING HAND

I can finnaly work on the actual game!

[tawny pilot]

Fist Full of Shrimp on YT also has a hand animations video that shows you how to make custom animations

[buoyant jolt]

You are missing or didn't setup the manifest correctly.

[storm ether]

Does anyone know if it's a good practice (or not) to add the XR directory in .gitignore after installing XR Plug-in Mangement ?

how would I set it up?

could anyone point me in a direction as to how I could go about making an overlay application like XSOverlay or OVR toolkit? I'm not looking for that exact functionality, more like, trying to overlay specific gameobjects on top of the existing VR view

So as a new developer here in VR I have a few issues, I have never coded in my life and feel like im just copying all these tutorial videos and learning nothing, sure I might be learning unity but when it comes down to it eventually I am going to have to create my own things for my games and I have no idea how to write code and am going to end up getting stuck since I dont know how to. Anybody have any advice on learning coding for VR and not just learning to copy code?

[buoyant jolt]

Bad, you customize that per project usually. And it won't auto install that component for developers if it is missing.

[buoyant jolt]

Follow the oculus guide, you want to make sure all your settings are correct.

https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/native/android/mobile-native-manifest/

That's the manifest though

[dry wigeon]

I went through all this

I think I got it

the xr plugin and oculus where both trying to use the manifest

and it broke

building the test now

[buoyant jolt]

Yeah, we use a custom manifest because we have other android headsets to support. So it's been a while since we set it up

[dry wigeon]

yea it worked

[dry wigeon]

Im trying to get my animated hands working but there not working

am also getting this

[night quail]

Still have this question btw

[severe saffron]

Learn to code first. Adding VR is just complicating things for you.

You're absolutely correct that copying tutorials has limited results. You indeed will need to make your own objects, classes, mechanics, etc

Start small.

[night quail]

Where is the best way to learn to code for unity, I already have a general understanding and can read code if its given to me since I already know the arduino coding language and HTML 5 with some basic lua but when it comes to writing my own code in C# I hit a wall.

[storm coral]

unity learn tutorials. they teach in very small, understandable steps, and teach you the right way to do things

[dry wigeon]

It should not be that hard if you already know html5 and c++

[night quail]

people think arduino is c++ but it really isnt, so technically i only know html.

[dry wigeon]

I use arduino, its a branch of c++ and is very similar, i can use the arduino IDE and subsequently I can also code in c++

its not as good but still Its the exact same concepts

[dry wigeon]

SO I managed to get tracking working for fb but I cant figure out how to port it to my quest

when I try to open the apk on my quest

I get 3 dots

but it opens fine in unity

this is what logs show

[daring patio]

good morning. i would like to solve two simple problems:

In my VR scene, I used two scripts: one I use to teleport to different points in the scene, choosing them from the UI menu. Another is the simple switch between Continuous Turn and Snap Turn.

The first one seems to have the problem that it does not teleport me correctly to some set points.

While in the second script, starting with Continuous Turn, I select from UI Menu the Snap and ok, while going back to Continuous does not activate it for me, it remains disabled.

[pine bison]

You're gonna have to share code for any of us to be able to help. Use hatebin or something else

[storm ether]

I am making a VR game / app that allows people to do a diagnosis of someone. I want to try this with a human body asset but would like to know if it is possible to change the asset dynamically on Unity (or before execution thanks to some parameters) ?

[pine bison]

I mean almost anything is possible, so you need to be more specific about what sort of changes you would like

[storm ether]

Change the color of the skin of the human body for example, change the color of the veins, of the eyes, make an eye swollen. These kind of things

[pine bison]

Those are all thing that can be done. Changing materials, using specialized shaders/textures, creating blend shapes for swellings etc

I know of a company that does this https://www.connectthedots.no/en/

[storm ether]

Thank you, I will check it

[crude frost]

anyone good at reading crash logs? My quest 2 game was launching fine last night, but now I keep getting crashing.

Hi, does someone knows if there is a method to detect XR Controller inactivity (like not moving, just on the desk) please ?
I'm using Unity 2021, XR Interaction Toolkit & OpenXR. I'm trying to hide the controller in case it is unused.

[crude frost]

with the new input system, you could check the position/rotation inputs, and if they don't change after a certain amount of time, you can hide the controller?

[alpine ledge]

Why was it deleted

How do i add selectables for the drop down button?
Add all the options
Right now its just blank
It should show options here

[crude frost]

its hard to tell what you're asking. Your gizmos are pretty much taking over the whole screen. Does your inspector show the drop down options you're looking for?

[alpine ledge]

In game the drop down options dont show for some reason, yes i do have them set in inspector. When i add a new default dropdown it also dosnt have, but everywhere i look its shown that it should auto add them as a template. As for me they dont show.

it also for some reason opens it upwards in game

[alpine ledge]

also this is the image of the empty dropdown, but it should display - Option A, Option B, Option C

[crude frost]

its on a world canvas? is it possible its on the other side of the canvas? or the font size doesn't fit?

[alpine ledge]

Yes its a world canvas. Its not on the other side, ive rotated it many times to try and see and ive looked at it from both sides. Do i requer to input a custom font? - every video i watched on this they didnt need to do so as it just applied a default font.

[dry wigeon]

What is A in the default xri config?

[exotic topaz]

After ungrading to 2022.2, I am having problems toggling from VR rendering enabled to non-VR on my camera. When disabling XR rendering on camera, camera stops rendering. this is only in build. Can anybody help? I have made a form post with some more details here: https://forum.unity.com/threads/after-enabling-xr-plugin-management-rendering-stops-working.1401451/#post-8816287

[buoyant jolt]

Is it jittering on the headset or only the video? Is the display locked to the eyes or moving but jittering? We can't help if you don't explain the problem better I'm afraid.

Is it looking odd? Yes

[hazy cosmos]

I guess it could have to do something with the colliders. Check the option on a mesh collider to see how it looks. Sometimes the mesh colliders don’t bake properly and end up bad

[north path]

As it says, check console for details... @storm ether

Many guides on youtube

Hello. I have an issue with UI. When I turn on Anti aliasing all UI in my game view disappears. Have anybody encounter with this problem. Any help and ideas will be appreciated. I'm using latest unity with URP in VR.

[north path]

Which unity version? @pearl fable

[pearl fable]

Unity 2022.2.5f1

[north path]

And on PCVR? Quest? Other?
openXR? Oculux XR plugin? Steamvr?

[pearl fable]

Quest

[north path]

Oculus xr plugin? Openxr?

[pearl fable]

Oculus xr plugin

[north path]

Quest standalone or via link?

[pearl fable]

via link

[north path]

Is oculus xr plugin up to date?

And maybe try 2022.2.7

And is the ui just a canvas in world space?

[pearl fable]

oculus Xr plugin is up to date, Yep i have world space canvas ui it disappears but also i have camera canvas it also disappears

[north path]

Camera canvas always is tricky in VR.
But world canvas shouldn't be affected with MSAA (you do use MSAA in the URP asset, right?)

I'd say test in a blank 2022.2.7 project and if the issue is still there make a bug report

[pearl fable]

yes i used msaa in URP Asset

[pearl fable]

I will try that

Im done with my project and it works in unity but in oculus it works for like 3 seconds and the your stuck in one place can only see on angle while the camera is going up and down none stop does anyone know how to fix that?

Is it like a specific setting that is wrong?

[wet jewel]

Hello guys, my UI is overlapping with other 3d objects, I found this solution on stackoverflow but can someone explain it more specifically ? How I can add one more camera on top of main camera?

is it asking me to make main camera child of this new camera?

it didn't work

[dry wigeon]

Not too sure but it's pink so that is the error

[north path]

Then it's a shader issue, not a VR issue. If you put a new material on the hands it should look fine

[north path]

You could indeed use overlay cameras, or you can use a shader for the UI which always renders on top (which I'd say is preferable)

[wet jewel]

sorry to bother you again but how can I use a shader to do it, is there any source I can read to know about it more clearly?

[north path]

Using URP or built in? @wet jewel

Hi, dunno if it's a shadder issue or a VR issue but my skybox works fine in scene, but is void in VR

[west gazelle]

unchecking/checking didn't make a difference but I found what might be contributing to it.

And it's the background type if you want camera stacking, but I suggest shaders for performance reasons

[wet jewel]

Actually I don't know how to use shaders, I have copied the code, but I don't know what to do next!!

[north path]

Made a shader (right click in project, create, then any shader (unlit is fastest)), then open that, then replace all code with the copied shader, then use that shader for the ui materials

[wet jewel]

When you said, UI material, My canvas doesn't have any material component

do I have to add one?

[north path]

It's not a component

You probably can add it somewhere, not sure right now where exactly, since I'm not behind my laptop

[wet jewel]

I have added mesh collider component to add this material but still it is not adding, I am not in hurry, I can wait for your answer and thanks for guiding me this far

[north path]

That's correct, colliders don't have non physics materials.
If I forget ping me in a few hours haha

[vestal otter]

can we connect hc05 bluetooth module to oculus, if yes then How?

[north path]

On PCVR, this definitly is possible. On quest standalone, not sure. Id say try and find out like most things

[wet jewel]

Thanks it works, you are a life savior

[north path]

Cool!

[zenith pasture]

Hi, I have encoutered a very strange issue while using oculus´s one grab rotate transformers

I am making levers, that have constraints and return to the default position when let go
At start, the constraints work just fine, from -25 to 25, but when I let go of the lever and it returns to default, the constraints shift, does anybody have an idea how to prevent this?

a video of the issue for illustration

[wet jewel]

Hello, sorry to bother you again, everything is working fine but texts are not visible just like images, and I don't see any material property where I can use this shader, how I can solve this issue?

[north path]

Text is even easier. Just go to the used text asset (using TextMeshPro is easiest) and change the shader to overlay

[wet jewel]

thanks again!!

[tiny niche]

never ever dev without source control

[full bloom]

whats that

im new to unity

[tiny niche]

think of it like quick-saves for files

[full bloom]

ohh

[tiny niche]

git is the one you want to learn

[full bloom]

also i have a question

so i made a game for quest 2, just like a test. and when i sideloaded the apk onto my quest 2 it was laggy and i was frozen in the air, but in unity it was fine, someone recommended to delete cubes and model them in blender instead?

like for the map

[tiny niche]

@full bloom that's probably not going do do anything. a cube is a cube

[full bloom]

ohh

ok

[north path]

Give or take, UVs are a bitch haha

But for performance attatch the profiler and see what the issue is. If its a new 2021+ URP project, check the URP settings and disable SSAO

[crude frost]

Greetings!

I'm having some OVRLipSync Issues. Works great in Editor, but on Quest 2 Build, its not working.
This is Photon Fusion Project.
Player Network Instantiate's their Avatar.
Then, the OVRLipSync components are added to the avatar.

//OVRLipSync Stuff
OVRLipSyncContext lipSyncContext = speaker.AddComponent<OVRLipSyncContext>();
OVRLipSyncContextMorphTarget morphTarget = speaker.AddComponent<OVRLipSyncContextMorphTarget>();
lipSyncContext.audioLoopback = true;
lipSyncContext.provider = OVRLipSync.ContextProviders.Enhanced_with_Laughter;
morphTarget.skinnedMeshRenderer = avatar.transform.GetChild(0).GetComponent<SkinnedMeshRenderer>();```
Any ideas why it works fine in Editor, but not on Quest 2 build?

[random lark]

anyone has FBX assets of hand poses for VR? oculus only provided the model with no animation

[north path]

I suggest just making a blendtree with different poses in unity. YouTube has guides for it (from justin p)

[crude frost]

Oculus Hands includes animations and an animator

its possible you're using the wrong one, as they have many things named 'hands'

Because I don't use OVR, and I just use Unity XR Rig, I created a package that just has OVRHands in it for if I want to use it (this is not for hand tracking, its models that react based on controller input)

[tiny niche]

not when its a unity cube. there's just no way you'll make a significantly more performant cube in blender

[tiny niche]

not the art pack, only their sdk does

[north path]

True

[crude frost]

you can import just the hands with the animator and not grab their whole SDK. i've already seperated it into a nice little unity package if you want it

[tiny niche]

sure, where is it published?

[random lark]

https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/package/oculus-hand-models/
this is the model i use, its rigged but no animation

[tiny niche]

whats an mb file?

[digital moth]

it's a my bad file

The only clue I get from the logs is OVRLipSyncContextBase.SetSmoothing: An unexpected error occured.

[crude frost]

It seems to be unable to load OVRLipSync.DLL on the quest

[tawny pilot]

valem tutorials on YT has a great video for this where you get the grab and pinch motions.

omg, I installed URP and added a global volume with like 3 post processing effects. and the jittery stutters in VR are so awful

[tiny niche]

well step1 is to remove those 3 effects

if you need something, just keep the bloom

since that's really the major one that you'd normally have trouble doing without

color grading can be compensated for with lights, shadows and assets

[random lark]

his dropbox link is broken

[tawny pilot]

oh for real? sorry. it was working a couple months ago 🤷‍♀️

[tawny pilot]

yeah i guess you’re right. it’s just so much easier to tweak the color look you want with post processing.

[tiny niche]

well you can still prototype with it, but i wouldn't ship anything without taking the time to eliminate the need for color grading

[silent root]

Can someone help me? I keep getting runtime errors for my Quest Pro in Unity. I am using its eyetracking and have tried disabling all the custom scripts that I made but I have no idea what is causing my runtime error. It was working previously but has been slowly gaining issues. I dont see any errors in the console.

Unless I am missing something, I am pretty sure I am still on the current XRPluginManagement, Oculus Integration SDK, and Oculus Movement SDK. All I get is this generic error message.

[tiny niche]

try a fresh project. if that works, then start adding features until it breaks

Hi guys I have just started on my journey of creating a VR game for my final project for school as this is my dream goal. I am having trouble with how to setup a character capsule collider as I only want to have hands in my game and no body is there a way to setup a capsule collider that the scale is changed due to player height and for if the player wants to crouch so that it doesn't walk through my environment
I wanted to add a capsule collider component but im not sure how to get it to change due to the height of a player

Read out the difference between vr player and floor, apply height to calsule?

How to make authentication with oculus without using OculusIntegration package?

I've built all the apps with OpenXR, they are compatible both with steam and oculs

[crude frost]

I'm still having issues getting OVRLipSync.DLL to load on Quest 2 build.
If you were getting the error DLL Not Found Exeception: Unable to load OVRLipSync.DLL what would be the first 3 things you'd do to try to resolve it?

Here is what I've verified:

1. It works in Editor.
2. The OVRLipSync Plugin is set to run on all platforms
3. I've tried checking/unchecking the 'start on launch' toggle.

[crude frost]

I have only used cloudlogin.dev and lootlocker.io for authentications. But, maybe this unity article could help you with Oculus uthentication? https://docs.unity.com/authentication/en/manual/SettingupOculusSignin

[main quarry]

I started from this link

I don't have Oculus namespace

[crude frost]

I love ReadyPlayer.Me avatars. And I've started a long tutorial series covering using them in VR. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSq-rVcJ9fMYAUefBGR_avztQVERcmvjo

[main quarry]

I don't find it online either

[crude frost]

You might still need to get the Oculus Integration from unity asset store, but don't import the whole package, try to just import the authentication stuff.

What I'd do, is start a blank project. Import the full Oculus integration into it. Then there is probably a demo scene for authentication.

Right click on that scene in your unity project folder, and choose 'select dependencies'. Then Export as a package (but uncheck the 'include dependencies' checkbox). It should then give you everything you need for just the authentication part.

[main quarry]

Ok, I'll go this way

[main quarry]

I'm testing the oculus integration package account example in empty project and it doesn't work

Ok, using the auth code in the empty project with the oculus integration works

now I try to move only the Oculus.Platform dependency

[main quarry]

the unityproject created doesn't include the library i need... sad, anyway I will manually select them

[main quarry]

Is it possible to make it working in editor too?

seems not

but the oculus is connected...

[gritty heart]

I never got it to work in editor. If you have an old oculus account you can add your credentials to the platform scriptable object, but otherwise you have to test in builds, either windows or android

Hey yall, I'm trying so send and receive locations from Photon using Photon View and Photon Transform View for a vr game, but it's only sending information from the host of the game, and not from the person that joins. It's a game using both a pc and vr, so if vr connects to the pc, then you can see the pc player moving around from the vr, but not the vr player from the pc. If pc connects to vr, then you can see the vr player moving around from the pc, but not the pc player from the vr. Can anybody help me out here?
Looking further, it appears that Photon Animator View is sending from both sides, but not the transform view.

[quaint bloom]

#🥽┃virtual-reality Hey guys, I have a problem with my VR game that i just cant get past. I have a Craft that i am trying to control using levers. The main craft has a rigidbody which acts as the movement vessel. but then i have two hinges inside the cockpit that are meant to control the speed and the turning. this is all good and well in theory but for whatever reason it does not work how i would like.

When i grab the lever whilst the craft is moving, the lever shoots behind the craft and is dragged until i stop applying force to the craft then it eventually catches up to its original position. I have tried connecting the hinge to multiple different rigid bodies and currently set it to Kinematic. I have also trying seperating the Levers and the main rigidbody on the physics collission matrix but that has had no effect either. please can some one help me

[brittle rock]

Im having some issues with touch controls where both the left and the right controllers touchpads perform the actions of both the left and right hand. for example no matter if i touch the left or the right controller trigger both of the hands make a pinching motion not just the left or the right based on whichever controller im pressing. im also not seeing a dedicated left and right touch input option in the input actions bindings for the quest touch controller or the valve index controller

am i missing something?

I don't follow? What is a quest build?

[north path]

He meant a native build on the quest (not PCVR)
Via link you are running the game as a PCVR game. It said your GPU isn't supported, so if you update your drivers and this still shows, your PC probably cannot handle VR

[restive lodge]

It cannot, is there a workaround of any sort?

[tiny niche]

no, you still need the build to target quest. a pcvr native build wont run on the quest

[restive lodge]

I'm just a little confused. The quest can build with unity, but the play button refuses to work.

[north path]

I assume you mean an android build?

[restive lodge]

Yes if I am correct, not at my computer right now to check.

your project is set up for pcvr, so when you hit play you try to run it on pc instead of deploying to the device

I don't know of any tutorials that show the 3d modelling part and the coding part all in one video but there is definitely a lot of 3d modelling tutorial about making a gun, and they probably include how to rig it and make animations.

Overdraw probably is killing performance on the tiled quest 2 GPU.
Other than that check the profiler and frame debugger to get draw calls down maybe?

Hey, I have a question about scene loading for VR games. For 2D games you can simply put a loading screen and don't care that it takes 5s to load your level and that the screen is actually frozen due to loading. But in VR it's impossible to do it like this, because if the rendering gets frozen you will have the last frame in front of you and either black or even some weird artifacts on the sides, not mentioning that in Oculus requirements it's not allowed to go below certain fps limit even during loading screens. This will happen even when loading the scene asynchronously. How are people dealing with this? What comes to my mind is:

1. Use things like SteamVR compositor, or Oculus OVROverlay? But those are platform specific and limited - imagine I'd like a loading screen like in assasins creed, where you are still in controll of player, can move, interact, but the world around you is loading. I'm also not sure if all SDKs have something like compositors?
2. Always have empty levels and create a level initializator which will load all your stuff like models, scripts, managers but in a coroutine or something, so that it doesn't try to load everything at once and hiccup? This would obviously increase the load duration.
3. Something that's a version of point 2 - having the scene divided into smaller scenes that each only contain parts of the main level like terrain scene, props scene, characters scene, etc. Which is harder when developing because you have to find references dynamically, and what if some scene loads faster than the other which has the reference, etc.

I can't find any good read on this, how are YOU doing this?

Hey anyone know if it's possible to use the "buffered" haptics mode for Quest 2 with Unity? I tried using OpenXR (and also with the Oculus Integration package), but no luck so far - device capabilities says "supportsBuffer - false" and the methods in the OVRHaptics class don't work either.

[north path]

Then that specific shader might not be multiview compatible :/
Sorry for that

That's a btch to edit, so maybe look around for others?

[north path]

[wet jewel]

okay thanks

[severe saffron]

recommend looking at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpBIbmTPDQc

You can do your getcomponents during build time instead of start/awake, which typically lags asynclevelload

Thanks! I'll check this out

Hi! anyone working on a Vive Focus 3 here? If so, did you manage to get the wrist trackers working in your project?

[stoic finch]

I've never done anything in VR. Got a chance to participate in a project. Need help before I start.

It's supposed to be a VR tour thing where you can roam around inside a building. It has multiple rooms, floors, stairs etc.
As far as I understand, VR movement is done by pointing to where you move to(like Half life Alyx). So it is just a raycast to find a ground point to move to and I'll determine the ray/direction based on VR hand forward (is that simply a vector3?)

Maybe there are other complexities I'm missing. How long would this take to do assuming I have no experience in VR(but have made an FPS in unity)?

[north path]

If you have no experience, don't code everything from scratch. Just use XR Interaction toolkit or ultimate xr (or if you want to use paid assets VR Interaction Framework, AutoHands, or Hurricane VR)

@stoic finch

[tiny niche]

xr interaction toolkit does that out of the box

[raven elbow]

Follow this tutorial series, it will help you setup everything you need for VR. He also covers normal stick movement and raycast point and click movement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhtTtvBF5bI

[round mortar]

am I doing something wrong where I have the leftEyePosition always return (0,0,0), or is that a known issue?

[stoic finch]

Thanks. I also thought that it was basic enough to already be handled by a library.

[stoic finch]

thank you. Will give that a look.

[tawdry anchor]

Does anybody have any good tuts on how to make a physics based character like boneworks/bonelab

[north path]

You can buy hurricane VR and hexabody.
Otherwise I'd say make a checklist feature per feature

[north path]

Send the code. Otherwise just use the camera and apply an offset

[storm coral]

did you set collision culling properly?

[round mortar]

Debug.Log(input.Head.leftPos.ReadValue<Vector3>());

[round mortar]

Can someone explain what setting the target eye for a camera actually does. I can't tell if it just draws its image to its target eye or if it also applies an offset.

I also notice that even if a different camera is set to a higher depth than the one in the xr origin, it still uses the xr origin's camera.

[round mortar]

This appears like it was only happening because the other cameras had a target texture so nvm with that, but I would still appreciate an answer to my first question.

[undone seal]

someone help please

[amber crown]

How would I make a particle system follow my hand?

[round mortar]

I would make the object with the particle system be a child of the hand object.

[amber crown]

Ive done that but it doesnt work

Actually, it might 1 sec

[round mortar]

I think that worked for me when I did it.

[amber crown]

What should I make it a child of?

[round mortar]

I'm not entirely sure, as I've never seen that rig setup before, but if the left/rightHand objects are what actually have the hand tracking, then I'd put it in those.

[amber crown]

This is what is in the right hand

[round mortar]

Yeah, I'd put it in there.

[amber crown]

Alright, Ill try that

I cant tell if its working

Nope, it isnt

[round mortar]

This is how my rig is set up.

[amber crown]

Well

I got it to work

But the offset is wrong

[round mortar]

Hmm, would it be possible to send a clip that shows what's happening?

[amber crown]

Ah, I figured it out

[round mortar]

Oh, nice.

[amber crown]

Thanks

[grave kettle]

hey guys is it possible to make a render texture display 2 different images for each eye? as in, I want to have a "portal" like effect where I can see three demensions through the camera that the render texture is being projected from

[round mortar]

I'm trying to do the exact same thing actually. My current workaround for it is to create a left and right texture that I just copy the render texture onto after moving the camera and taking the picture. I haven't yet figured out if there's a way to make a shader actually display the different texture though.

[grave kettle]

I see, I'm wondering if using the 3d volumetric render texture might work. So you say "taking the picture" how exactly do you go about controlling when the frame is drawn because I'm just using the XR template right now.

[tiny niche]

i believe a better way is to calculate where the eyes should be if you didn't have to look through the portal to see the destination, but before that you render the actual location and have a clipping mask covering the portal

[grave kettle]

I'm talking more for the purposes of depth perception tho

[tiny niche]

with a depth bias, you can get the depth buffer to reject a lot of pixels you can't see

[round mortar]

By "taking the picture", I'm using Camera.Render().

[tiny niche]

you'd still get depth perception, since you're not using a render target

[round mortar]

I'm in Built-In Render pipeline btw.

[grave kettle]

oh damn I'm URP :/

its probably different but if there's a way to actually change which camera position is being projected to the render texture thats all I really need

[tiny niche]

you always specify camera when rendering to a texture

[grave kettle]

honestly I'm not at all versed in clipping masks

[grave kettle]

oh ye but I mean like

the right eye and the left eye you know? as in, I want a 3d display

like say I had 2 cameras

and the render texture would draw from a different one

depending on which eye the render texture was being drawn from

the retain depth perception

[tiny niche]

you realize how expensive your renders are gonna get? you roughly multiply the total render cost by 3

[grave kettle]

my game is very low poly tbh

aswell as the fact that

while in the "portal" mode the rest of your vision will be totally obscured

it will just be you in empty black space peeping through a hole kinda

[tiny niche]

its not the polycount that'll kill your perf

[tiny niche]

so why are you even bothering with making a portal? just move the actual camera and do an overlay to obscure the rest

[grave kettle]

a "portal" is the best way of describing it but its more like a periscope in a submarine. You enter a mode where your vision briefly completely blackens, the game stops rendering the vehicles interior and then ahead of you is the render texture with a crosshair moving about overlayed over the render texture

I realised that

although I could just use a simple 2d render texture

a lot of the game will be through this perspective

and playing a VR game in 2d

is gonna be kinda atrocious for extended periods of time

[tiny niche]

if its a periscope, you also only need 1 eye

[grave kettle]

but to achieve depth perception I mean

also I wanted to add an old WW2 american range finding system using 2 cameras

[tiny niche]

normally a periscope would not provide depth perception

[grave kettle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yBbb7DyWKo

its a bit tricky to describe

but essentially, I control the angle at which the two cameras face each other

I can bring it closer, and a static crosshair in the center of each camera

once overlapping

will be able to produce a rangefinding for the target vessel

[grave kettle]

I know, but considering just how much of the game will be seen through this periscope I think its kinda necessary

like from a players point of view

its a pretty big annoyance

to play large portions of a VR game in 2d

[round mortar]

Does anyone know what the field of view for each eye is. I know that for the entire camera, it's like 112 verticle and 106 horizontal, but is that different from each individual eye?

[tiny niche]

that'd depend on the headset, ipd and if you're using a glasses spacer

[quaint quest]

Hi all, I've run into an issue where I can pick up multiple objects with a single hand using XR direct interactor. any recommended way to make it that the user can pick up only 1 object at a time?

[quaint quest]

update: i noticed there was 2 XR controllers attached to my hand therefore i could pick up more than 1 object, my solution was just to remove one of them

[round mortar]

I'm trying to make portals for vr, but currently my problem is that the image taken by the camera doesn't quite line up with the player's camera, so it looks wrong. I think it's because the render texture that the portal camera uses means that it isn't taking the picture in the way that a vr camera would. Is there anyway to make a vr camera use a render texture?

[north path]

If you use URP maybe use stencils for the portals?
Otherwise maybe mess around with the render texture settings

[amber crown]

In here, how would I make it so that "When Selected" my particles continue playing until "When Selected" again?

Like a lever sort of

[round mortar]

Do you know if there's anyway to make a render texture include the texture for both eyes?

[dark jasper]

anyone know the reason for this as the output to the camera with the XR Origin rig, URP v2021.3.17f1.

moved from the old system to the new origin system and it just rendering this xd

[raven elbow]

Send a screenshot of your inspector for Origin Rig

[raven elbow]

I was hoping to see you didn't set up XR Origin script right, it looked good though

[dark jasper]

yeah xd

my older project using the old stuff still works and that was built in

but this is now the new system and urp

so i wouldnt be surprised if something is still bugged

[raven elbow]

I added SteamVR to my project a couple weeks ago, then removed it. It fucked everything up. Since my project is small I just started a new one and copied stuff over

I believe it was camera issues

[dark jasper]

also in the camera, you change target eye to none it renders fine back to the editor display, so it must be something todo with the vr rendering

[dark jasper]

yeah this is basically a fresh package

i also disabled all the fancy rendering that might screw it up and nothing changed it

[raven elbow]

Well I wished I could have helped, I know a good tutorial on setting up XR Origin if u want a link

[dark jasper]

the global volumes etc and nothing fixed

[dark jasper]

yeah why not, i checked out one already to see if i was doing it wrong and its pretty straight forward anyways, i didnt do anything different from the guy in the vid xd

[raven elbow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhtTtvBF5bI

[dark jasper]

bruh xd

thats the one i was watching

[raven elbow]

LOL

[dark jasper]

yeah i did the same as what he did

its the most basic tutorial every but the xr bit was helpfull to see if i did it wrong

and it should just be a case of import the dependencies then add an xr origin rig and it works

[raven elbow]

I didn't have any issues, but I was also working with a fresh project when i followed that tutorial

[dark jasper]

gotcha

what version you on?

[raven elbow]

Unity 2021.3.16f1

[dark jasper]

legit one before mine xd

[raven elbow]

I've been too scared to hit that update button for the past couple weeks

[dark jasper]

i doubt its the version then

https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/xr-urp-game-view-is-grey-when-using-camera-stacking-and-enabling-post-processing

cos this thread everyone is complaining about it

but its also 2020

so its an old thread and the issue is still here

[raven elbow]

You on a quest?

[dark jasper]

using link yes

maybe i should try a different cable?

[raven elbow]

Have you played games linked up before?

[dark jasper]

yeah

[raven elbow]

cable worked for that i take it?

[dark jasper]

ive built up a full game completly fine with it

and i used a worse cable too

[raven elbow]

Use w/e cable was working when playing a game, just incase it is a cable issue

what type of cable is it? MicroUSB or USB-C?

[dark jasper]

usb c

its the offical link cable

[raven elbow]

Does is transfer data? Or is it for charging only?

[dark jasper]

its the fibre optic one

so both

ima try a diff cable anyways rq

[raven elbow]

Ah, sorry shooting from the hip here. I only have an Index

[dark jasper]

yeah no worries

nope same issue with a copper cable

even thoi its 5gbps

so im assuming it must be an issue with something in unity

[raven elbow]

Send me ur project if u dont mind, it would tell us if its a quest issue or not

[dark jasper]

sorry i cant do that, ive got paid assets in here i cant distribute

but i will try a completly blank project and test

[raven elbow]

DM me when ur done, im just curious at this point

[dark jasper]

yeah no worries, will do

now ive gotta fix whatever ive done wrong in my main one

[raven elbow]

well GL man

[round mortar]

I'm just gonna repost because my question is pretty far up. Is there anyway to make a camera's render texture include the textures from both eyes?

[dark jasper]

im not sure but an easy way could be to have two cameras rendering to two seperate rt's as your eyes

[round mortar]

I'd do that, but I can't figure out how to position the cameras properly for the image to line up with what you would see using a vr camera.

[dark jasper]

ahh yeah i getcha, not sure tbh

@raven elbow i found my issue, vr really doesnt like to support light scattering ;-;

you try to render these volumetric light rays, it kinda gives up and dies xd

[raven elbow]

dang, looks good tho!!!

Pretty sure they pulled it off in Boneworks?

[dark jasper]

just not in vr xd

yeah maybe, it just breaks with me

[raven elbow]

You using the volumetric lights off the asset store?

[tawdry anchor]

Do you know any ways for free?

[hollow quest]

howdy

so the unity xri multi grab is great and all, but one player's hand does not stick to the object like the other does.

How can I limit the movement range of hands while they are grabbing an object

[tiny niche]

well you would have to define how the object is supposed to be held. you may need to implement all that on your own

[hollow quest]

Right now I am using dynamic attach

Could you point me in the right direction?

In the future, when this project gets much more work done, I will likely use something like Auto Hand

but for the prototyping stage, I just wanted a quick and dirty fix lol

[tiny niche]

well start by thinking of how you want the interaction to behave. you would have very different solutions for a ball, sword, bow, rifle and staff for example

[hollow quest]

I essentially want my player hands to superglue to the object while each hands' triggers are held

[tiny niche]

yea but that's only half the problem

[hollow quest]

How so?

[tiny niche]

you've glued the hands to the object, which solves the visuals. But you haven't defined how the object resolves it's position and orientation

[hollow quest]

Unity XRI has me covered on that already, 2.2.0 added multi grab support

[tiny niche]

like where is it if you bend over, grab the object and then t-pose?

[hollow quest]

my player hands would default to the average distance between my two real hands

[tiny niche]

then hide the hands and put new hand models on the object

[hollow quest]

here let me take a video 1 sec

so you know what I mean

@tiny niche

You can see here how the second hand does not snap to the surface of the object like how the first hand does

yet, it still has the ability to manipulate the object

[tiny niche]

well that's normal, they added 2-hand interaction and not multi-grab

[hollow quest]

they call it multi-grab

dual grab, more specifically

I want the second hand to snap to the surface of the object like the first, but I really can't seem to figure out where to start

not without using a different framework

let alone that the current system of mine only works if its a symmetrical object lol

[onyx blaze]

It’s particle based, so I make sure the particles are 300 at max

[onyx blaze]

Also, thanks for the kind input. I love it when people recognize my work

[onyx blaze]

unfortunately, all good things come with a price.

[lapis dawn]

Hi, i have an issue : when I take an object placed on the top of another, everything explode, can somebody help me please ?

[tiny niche]

well adding an extra camera would be expensive, since its using a completely different render path when compared to the vr cameras

as for the other cameras, unity might be optimizing their rendering, assuming you're even rendering all of them at the same time and at equal resolution to the 1 camera

if you're splitting the render target between the cameras evenly, its a lot cheaper than if you gave each of them their own render target

so my guess is you're doing that and being fillrate capped

texture should what?

[north path]

UltimateXR is probably the best VR system which is free

[tiny niche]

sure, but did you give all cameras different textures and render them all at the same time? or did you assign different textures and only render 1 of the cameras?

and display 1 is giving different back buffers to both camera outputs?

or is it shared?

a gpu debugger would be the best way to be sure

my guess is you have a shared back buffer, meaning you're rendering several cameras for a similar gpu cost and mainly add cpu overhead

and that the main issue is your game hits the fillrate cap when you force it to do a fresh render instead of piggybacking on the compositior to get the image from an eye

the way to avoid it is to use the stock mirror solution

what is not possible? using the stock mirror solution? or having only a first person view?

yes, that's why its cheap

then make your game cheaper to render, so you can afford to render both viewpoints

its not the polys that's limiting you, its the number of pixels on screen

and the amount of overdraw

so, reduce shader complexity, upscale and eliminate overdraw

no

but having a low res backbuffer would

[north path]

What error?
Which unity version?
Which headset?
Do you use a custom android manifest?
Are all the android things selected as installed with unity in preferences - external tools?

[hollow quest]

developing anything in vr seems like such a massive pain

I run into more roadblocks than I do with any other programming problem

Alright, I have a script that spawns an item into the player's grip. When the player is in motion, and tries to throw said item, its direction is skewed. How can I fix such a thing

If it helps, here is a diagram. Black is the player's direction of motion. Green is the intended throwing direction. Yellow is the actual direction

[shell kayak]

So the player is moving forward and throws the item straight up, but instead of it going straight up, it ends up behind the player. Does that sound right?

[hollow quest]

its not just up, but also while strafing

so essentially, yes

think of the diagram as both a top down and a side view

[shell kayak]

Because that just sounds like you're not applying the player's velocity to the object. If the player is moving 1 m/s in a direction and throws the object 1 m/s in the same direction, the velocity you should apply to the object is 2 m/s. Whereas if you threw the object in the opposite direction with the same speed, it would cancel out.

Like this classic Mythbusters episode. A cannon firing a ball at the same speed as the truck, but in the opposite direction.

Assuming you're using a Rigidbody, if your using forces/velocity to make the object follow the player's hand, then it should just work when you add the additional throw force. But if you're manually making the object follow the player's hand, like by setting transform.position directly, then you have to calculate the combined velocity yourself.

[hollow quest]

👁️ the player is grabbing the object, it's a grab interactable

Idk how unity internally keeps the object in your hand

But I do know that I am using velocity tracking which is essentially what you are saying

Since velocity tracking keeps the object in your hand through the physics engine and not your hands transform.position

[hollow quest]

🗿 that's why I'm confused

Velocity tracking should be doing all that but it dont

[shell kayak]

Is the throwing also handled by Unity or are you doing something custom?

Is the player movement custom or also handled by Unity?

[tiny niche]

it sets velocities, which bypasses most of the physics engine as well

throwing something is a bit too intricate for a naïve implementation. You have to compensate for interpolation errors and account for inertia pushing objects out towards your fingertips as you throw

this all results in you adjusting the shape of your hand as you throw, ideally putting the point of pressure on the fingertips as a sphere leaves your hand

a naive implementation is more like having a stiff wrist and throwing something with the palm of your hand

except its even worse than that, since the velocity loss is greater the faster you move your hand, giving you the most error at the end of the throw

this is why in most games an underhand throw appears far more efficient and closer to reality

[severe saffron]

keep a buffer of previous positions/velocity, average or keep the peak 3 or come up with some kind of method that will "accumulate" the throwing velocity

[hollow quest]

both are handled by unity

[hollow quest]

this is why throws don't feel quite natural, but it isnt my problem. I already knew this. My problem is that the player's velocity isn't added to the objects velocity when thrown

it seems like a real pain to fix,

[tiny niche]

its all part of the same problem, measuring the velocity at the correct position

[hollow quest]

yeah I suppose

Although I have the player velocity thing fixed when it comes to everything but throwing

[tiny niche]

that doesn't eliminate interpolation errors. if you draw straight lines along positions on a parabola, the straight lines will end up on the inside. now measure the area and you have significantly less area inside the interpolated section than inside the actual curve

problem with throwing is the velocity magnitude goes something like this

so even a near miss of the apex can have a huge impact

[severe saffron]

interesting...

[tawdry anchor]

Does anybody know how to make something jump on platers head like a crablet from boneworks/bonelab

[hollow quest]

maybe lookat player and apply a force. then when the head crab thing collides with the player, you snap the model to the players head.

Hi, I'm new here and a beginner in unity and using an Oculus Quest 2 for my project. I want to teleport in my scene. I followed the steps of Valem's tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pVdiBogmew but as you can see in my screenshot the teleport raycast is not pointing from the hand to the reticle. If I close my left eye in the VR-Headset it shows only the scene and the hands without the raycast and the reticle, so it only shows on the left lens of the VR-Headset. The teleportation works but I can't aim to the space where I want to teleport. I followed all these steps on a complete new unity project and it works without a problem. Do you have any ideas where is the problem and can you tell me how to fix it?

[round mortar]

Does that work for making a portal that takes you to a different place in the same room (basically like the portal game).

Sorry, I just haven't really done anything with stencils before.

[dreamy iron]

what is the DPI for oculus quest 2 ? and if I set the resolution scaling mode to fixed DPI, would that improve the frame rate ?

also should I use Vulkan API or OpenGL ? which is better for quest 2 or it doesn't matter ?

[buoyant jolt]

It's not an error, it's a warning, saying you don't have VR configured right for your unity version

It's telling you what's wrong with the project though

[buoyant jolt]

It will keep saying that until the package manager entry for the XR of plugin that was added is removed.

These days though, for a new project, unless you are using an older XR system of some kind (Pico 2 for example or cardboard) you probably don't want that enabled anyways...

[wintry fiber]

a 3d model won't show up in VR Standalone

i tried connecting with the vr headset to Unity on my PC and it shows up

but when i build the project it doesn't

any ideas?

[buoyant jolt]

Is the scene added to the build settings? Is it only one object? I'd also look at the logs on the headset.

[wintry fiber]

how do i look to the logs?

[buoyant jolt]

If the scene is right, but the object is missing, it could be the culling.

If the scene is wrong, it is probably wrong in the build settings.

Logs depend on the headset, but usually you use ADB or logcat if it's an android headset.

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.mobile.android-logcat@0.1/manual/index.html

[wintry fiber]

ADB i have installed, but it doesn't launch

the scene is right

[buoyant jolt]

If it's an HL2, ML2 etc then the logs are different. Depends on the headset

[wintry fiber]

Pico 4

i'm instaling logcat

@buoyant jolt

does this have anything to do with the mesh

[buoyant jolt]

I'd filter those errors out, they just look like noise. Pico SDKs tend to make a lot of false flags for errors

Chances are you want Tag: Unity

But just a guess I don't use the Pico 4, we are in Canada, so our clients are on 3s.

[wintry fiber]

this is all of it

on Unity

the model showed yesterday, if that helps

and the game view ALSO shows the mesh

@buoyant jolt does this information help?

[buoyant jolt]

To me it looks like the problem isn't a code issue.

[wintry fiber]

what could it be?

hmm

[round mortar]

Sorry last question. Does this require you to make a duplicate of the geometry in your scene?

[north path]

You don't need a duplicate, why would you need that?

[strong cobalt]

At this point i cant press the play button on my unity project and have it play on my headset that is plugged into my pc that i know can run pcvr i am using an oculus quest 2 can anyone help?

[gritty heart]

You might not have your xr plugin stuff setup right.
Try downloading this project and seeing if it works for you. Then you can mirror the project settings and packages setup.

[lofty carbon]

what is the WaitForFrames() Method, and what could cause it to make the game completely freeze up?

[worthy mortar]

for some reason, my xr inputs are not being detected, i dont think its an issue with my scripts because everything was just fine a while ago and it works with only one script

[north path]

@lofty carbon that's VSYNC. The graph looks stable, do you have any issues?

[round mortar]

I'm probably misunderstanding how stencils work, I thought that you have to line up the area that you're looking at through the portal with the portal. Never mind though. Thanks, I'll do a bit more resource into stencils.

How can I connect to OBS Websocket server and get the scene into Unity

I noticed that OBS has a Websocket server in-built, which provides us a port and everything. I am thinking if there is a way to access that Websocket server and retrieve OBS Virtual Camera feed directly into Unity, using Video Player or maybe some other component. If this is possible, can someone tell me how to do it ? A basic script would go a long way in helping.

So what I actually want to do is get the transparent cut out of a person into Unity in a live stream
So that I can see VR Passthrough behind the person, And I am thinking that if I can get OBS's green screen background as input into my Unity project using Video Player, I will be able to apply a Render Texture and remove the green screen.

[torpid ginkgo]

@lapis cradle Do not ping server roles with not server related questions

[lapis cradle]

How can I get help?

[torpid ginkgo]

By waiting patiently

[lapis cradle]

Thanks XD

Hey does anyone know of a shader that would work for VR hands that doesn't have the depth issue when making a fist. I just need to be able to fade it i and out

[flat pulsar]

I don't know of a specific shader. but I believe a basic Fresnel shader might not clip into itsself for instance a balled fist

also if you have to use built in vs shader graph you can actually do this https://forum.unity.com/threads/converting-shader-graphs-to-editable-usable-shader-code.709007/ to convert the shader to built in

[north path]

Which depth issue??

[mild igloo]

When making a fist, I can see my fingers through hand when making a fist

Anyone got any tips on working with Joint hinges & grabbable objects? I'm trying to make a paddle that is stuck to the side of a boat with a hinge. But I think since the center of mass of the paddle is on the other side of the hinge, the Velocity Tracking mode of the grabbable moves from center of mass and flips it when I grab.

[tiny niche]

take a look at the escape room sample, it has all kinds of hinges

[proper holly]

hello

[median pecan]

Thank you! Will check it out. I tried looking into the possibility to extending XRGrabInteractable but it seems so much is done without abstractions and private stuff one would need to copy the whole thing to modify to once content 😅

[severe saffron]

I find config joint always makes a better hinge than hinge 🙃

[median pecan]

I'm using config joint^

[severe saffron]

oh welp IDK because Im just a lowly hurricane user

solved so many issues for me I dont have to know how anything works 😛

[storm ether]

hey can anybody test my multiplayer vr game with me?

[buoyant jolt]

I'm assuming you just want something like this?

https://www.stereolabs.com/docs/unity/green-screen-vr/

There are a few techniques and plugins for it, but that should help

Here's another example the Vive way

And of course the Quest way

Get rid of the legacy VR packages in the project and follow a newer VR guide

If you used legacy XR, remove XR plugin.
As the error says now you have both, which wont work

[crude frost]

Its just kind of a shuffle

[slim hill]

any ideas?

[buoyant jolt]

About what?

[slim hill]

about the raycast

[buoyant jolt]

Ok, try using full sentences. What about a raycast?

[slim hill]

here i described everything

[buoyant jolt]

I haven't used that person's tutorial. I have no idea how good or bad or accurate it is.

But if it works in a new project, then something is wrong in the current project. Be it deferred rendering, or having some transform not centered to the parent properly

My best guess is to change from deferred rendering or vise versa to get both eyes working first. Then try and figure out why the teleport raycast position is mismatching.

[slim hill]

ok thx

[slim hill]

thx solved it

[fathom minnow]

https://www.reddit.com/r/unity/comments/11pst96/player_having_strange_bouncingflinging_behavior/

Been trying to fix this issue for a long time any help appreciated

[grave path]

My best guess for that is, either the object you are using has some sort of animation that is controller how your player moves which for vr needs to be the opposite unfortunately, or something to do with rigidbodies, I think it might be the former most likely

[north path]

Or maybe try different physics materials @fathom minnow

[muted bluff]

I have a question that required a video if anyone is free to help me- involved spatial a vr platform and unity

[storm ether]

Hey why do I press play and nothing happens in my headset despite setting up Quest link and all that?

[storm coral]

Did you set your openXR default to oculus?

(if you're using openXR)

[storm ether]

That worked thank you :)

It worked but its stuttering intensely, not sure if unity or headset

[fathom minnow]

I haven't encountered this issue before and in a project with a different version a while ago it worked with little differences so I'm going to try and update unity to see if it helps.

[north path]

Just ask the question

[muted bluff]

dmed you

[crude frost]

Is there a way to scale a GameObject that is a XR Grab Interactable while it is being grabbed? I've been killing myself trying to figure out why my simple scaling logic isn't working, only to finally just try adjusting scale in inspector while gameObject is grabbed, and it won't let me.

[tiny niche]

put it on an invisible parent to the actual mesh, then you can scale the mesh object

Hi all, I'm trying to work with the SteamVR package (and had it working in an earlier Unity version (which I had to upgrade to work with PlasticSCM).

My problem is that as soon as I install the package from the asset store (I removed the /SteamVR folder first) I get errors right away:
Assets\SteamVR\Input\SteamVR_Behaviour_Pose.cs(157,122): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'ETrackingResult' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Assets\SteamVR\Input\SteamVR_Behaviour_Pose.cs(248,47): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'EVRInputStringBits' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
etcetera.

(using Unity version 2020.3.39f1 SteamVR version 2.7.3)

[tiny niche]

does that unity version match what the package needs?

[timber umbra]

the package just says: Unity 5.6.7 or higher

[tiny niche]

my guess is the package info is incorrect then

[timber umbra]

the package was last updated in feb 2021 (so should still work with a 2020 version right?)

[tiny niche]

maybe

but it might also have package manager dependencies

you want to figure out where ETrackingResult is supposed to come from and dig deeper there

its likely a version mismatch or a missing dependency

[timber umbra]

I'll look into it, thanks for the help so far

Hi, I'm working on a multiplayer VR app using Vive Focus 3 headsets. I have seemingly no issues when only one client is connected to my host (a PC app) but whenever I connect a second client, frame drops start to appear.
It seems like the hand tracking is the root of the problem, but I'm not completely sure about that to be honest. Looks like the lag spikes come when a hand or more is not being tracked anymore. I don't know how that makes the game lag regarding how the hand tracking work and the netcode for it.
Here is both my joint setup and its movement script (each hand is composed of 26 joints).

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using Unity.Netcode;
#if (UNITY_ANDROID)
using Wave.OpenXR.Toolkit;
using Wave.OpenXR.Toolkit.Hand;
#endif

namespace Wave.OpenXR.Samples.Hand
{
    public class Joint_Movement : NetworkBehaviour
    {
        public NetworkVariable<int> jointNum = new NetworkVariable<int>(default, NetworkVariableReadPermission.Everyone, NetworkVariableWritePermission.Server);
        public NetworkVariable<bool> isLeft = new NetworkVariable<bool>(default, NetworkVariableReadPermission.Everyone, NetworkVariableWritePermission.Server);
        public NetworkVariable<bool> isValid = new NetworkVariable<bool>(default, NetworkVariableReadPermission.Everyone, NetworkVariableWritePermission.Owner);

#if (UNITY_ANDROID)
        void Update()
        {
            HandJoint joint = HandTracking.GetHandJointLocations(isLeft.Value ? HandFlag.Left : HandFlag.Right)[jointNum.Value];
            isValid.Value = joint.isValid;

            if (joint.isValid)
            {
                transform.localPosition = joint.position;
                transform.localRotation = joint.rotation;

                // Show joint when valid
                GetComponent<Renderer>().enabled = true;
                HideHandsServerRpc();
            }
            else
            {
                // Hide joint when not valid
                GetComponent<Renderer>().enabled = false;
                HideHandsServerRpc();
            }
        }
#endif

        [ServerRpc(RequireOwnership = false)]
        void HideHandsServerRpc()
        {
            if (isValid.Value)
            {
                GetComponent<Renderer>().enabled = true;
            }
            else
            {
                GetComponent<Renderer>().enabled = false;
            }
        }
    }
}

Any idea on this issue? Is my netcode setup wrong or something?

[buoyant jolt]

To be sure, you can open the profiler and see where the lag spikes are coming from

Just to make sure you aren't chasing a red herring

[bold parrot]

I'm still kinda new to VR dev, I'll have to look how to get a profiler in an AIO headset

[buoyant jolt]

It sounds like the frame drops happen in the editor too, you may not need to profile the actual headset. But it is better if you do.

[bold parrot]

I looked in the editor and didn't notice big drops like in the headsets, I'll double check to make sure

[zenith pasture]

How well does oculus quest 2 handle lights and emission? Is it possible to have 10+ light sources in a small room with some furniture (150k tris give or take) while using URP?

[north path]

Is there any reason this needs to be realtime?
If not, you can bake as many lights as you want :P
You can use light probes to also light up dynamic objects in the room :p
Then different lights also have different performance characteristics. Point lights are the slowest, so use wide spotlights where possible. Also disabling shadows helps a lot of course

Only way to say for sure is to try

[zenith pasture]

The project is a virtual pinball, so they need to be realtime to be enablable as the ball hits different components

My current idea was emissive materials, any idea how demanding they are compared to other sources of light?

[north path]

If not all lights are on at once it should be fine.

Emmision is not a light source. It does not do much without bloom. Bloom is very expensive however

[shell kayak]

Emissive materials do not emit light in URP. It's a much more complex source of light, usually reserved for raytracing and light baking, but can be approximated with Unity's realtime global illumination solution.

[north path]

Just try and see

You arent getting realtime GI on quest haha

[brazen tundra]

How can I make my VR game work with Proton for Linux?

[zenith pasture]

I expect at most 5 sources + ambient baked light to be on at the same time

[north path]

Then it's probably fine

Only way to know is to try

[lofty carbon]

When Building to the Quest 2, what should these options be?

[shell kayak]

Standard Shader Quality only matters if you're using the Standard shader, which you shouldn't be doing on Quest 2. Most of the other options don't really matter unless you're using them, which for most of them you probably shouldn't be doing. Definitely not HDR.

[lofty carbon]

wich shaders should i be using on quest?

Mobile?

In that case, my project is supposed to be playable on both PC and quest, do i have to split my project up or do i have to change every material while building?

[shell kayak]

I don't think there's any good go-to shader for Quest on the built-in render pipeline. There are some legacy ones that are fast, but also very limited.

[lofty carbon]

hm... so what do you recommend?

[shell kayak]

I make my own shaders that have only the features I need for my game.

[lofty carbon]

uff... i don't know anything about shader creation...
._."

[lofty carbon]

also that...?

[shell kayak]

There are a couple of different ways to handle this. Unity has a shader LOD system that allows you to have one shader that has different quality levels that can be changed at runtime. The Standard shader does this, but even the lowest quality one is going to be pretty heavy on Quest, especially when combined with real-time lights.

[lofty carbon]

oh

[shell kayak]

But you could also have separate materials or prefabs that are chosen at runtime through scripts.

[lofty carbon]

mhm...

[shell kayak]

But I think most multi-platform VR developers just make their game for Quest and then try to beef up the graphics on PC with easy tricks, like post processing, higher texture resolutions, etc...

[lofty carbon]

aha...

so i target quest first and then build up to PC?

[shell kayak]

That's definitely easier than the other way around. Your PC version probably won't look as good as it could as a consequence, but that's better than the game running at 30 FPS on Quest.

[lofty carbon]

true... i'll tell that my team and continune working, thanks!

[crude frost]

What is the thumbrest capcitive touch area called in New Input System?

[crude frost]

I'm trying to get the type of VR controller my user has. This works in editor, but on build, never seems to get past the wait in my coroutine.

private IEnumerator GetDeviceType()
{
    Debug.Log("Getting Device Type");
    yield return new WaitUntil(() => InputDevices.GetDeviceAtXRNode(XRNode.LeftHand).name != null);
    UnityEngine.XR.InputDevice leftHand = InputDevices.GetDeviceAtXRNode(XRNode.LeftHand);
    leftHandName = leftHand.name;
    Debug.Log(leftHand.name);
    switch (leftHandName)
    {
        case string e when e.Contains("Open"): Debug.Log("Probably using Editor"); Editor(); break;
        case string a when a.Contains("Oculus"): Debug.Log("Using Oculus Device."); Oculus(); break;
        case string b when b.Contains("Pico"): Debug.Log("Using Pico Device."); Pico(); break;
        default: Debug.Log("You are probably in the Editor."); Editor(); break;
    }
}

[brazen tundra]

How can I make my VR game work with Proton for Linux?

[tiny niche]

you gotta specify the platform you're building for

[small ingot]

would i do weight painting to fix this?
the bones are sticking out of the body
this is probably because i made the arms 2.5 long, and they are connected to the body
im not sure
lmk what to do

this only happens on the quest version, not on the unity editor, as you can see, but in unity, it still has a stretch effect on the body, just not as bad

[lofty carbon]

so, i wanna switch my project from 2021.3 to 2020.3 because of performance reasons, what`s the safest way to change versions?

[small ingot]

this is a massive problem. when someone joins my vr game, i start zooming around uncontrollably. i havent tested multiplayer with 2 oculuses yet, this is one oculus and a pc on unity editor playing, that might be the problem? im not sure, please help, this is a big problem.

using photon vr btw

[tiny niche]

git commit, change versions ...revert if errors occur

[tiny niche]

you likely did the netcode wrong and have it getting confused about what data belongs to which client

[small ingot]

how do i fix this

reimport photon completely?

[tiny niche]

no, you read the photon manual, figure out what you did wrong and remove that part

[small ingot]

imo, havent made much progress, i think if i reimport photon fully, it would make life a lot easier
