Any tips on getting the XR Device Simulator let me move the controllers? It controls the HMD just fine. BUt, when I switch to either controller, it doesn't let me rotate or translate them

Aha! I couldn't find the answer online, but I had a hunch. Its the XR Interaction Manager in my scene. I needed to disable it when using simulator

it was actually my Player Input component. not the XR Interaction manager (if you disable that, you break other interactions)

[placid sparrow]

is there a basic "turn to player" script somewhere in the xr interaction toolkit that I can attach to an UI panel (has a grab handle)? I don't want lazyfollow behaviour though 🤔

[placid sparrow]

EDIT nevermind, noticed the position follow can be turned off from lazyfollow

Yes, I tried moving the blue circle

It did not move the screen

[light raft]

it might be a different parent object

Hey yall so I made a 3d modle in blender and you know how in unity you can only see one side of it how do I fix it?

[boreal raven]

Hi, I’m building a VR project for Quest 3 using Unity URP and facing an issue with rendering modes:

Unity: 6000.3.30f1
Render Mode: Multiview (via Meta XR)
Graphics API: OpenGLES3
Canvas: World Space UI (TextMeshPro, transparent panels)
Transparent 3D objects: used for visual effects
Everything is working fine using multiview in Quest 2.

When Multiview is enabled, 3D models render fine, but UI and transparent objects are completely invisible.
If I switch to Multipass, everything becomes visible — including UI and transparency.
However, in Multipass mode, if any 3D object is placed in front of the transparent object, it flickers or jitters(likely z-fighting).
Questions:
Is this a known limitation of Multiview with transparent objects in URP?
Are there any workarounds that allow transparent UI and objects to render properly in Multiview without switching to Multipass?
Is the z-fighting in Multipass expected behavior, and is there a clean way to fix it?
Thanks for any help!

[rancid shuttle]

If the model is 1 sided, change the material Render Face to Both.

[rancid shuttle]

Some extra images, does anyone know how to fix?? Yes I already cleared and baked again.

[formal parcel]

How ?

[rancid shuttle]

Please show canvas settings

Overlay canvas doesn't work in VR

Only world space

So you're showing the bones and joints in real world space? What is the canvas for?

Do you want to show it normally, like in the world on a screen? Or do you wan to show it as an overlay on the entire view?

For an overlay I used a world space canvas somewhere off in the distance, then set an other camera infront of that, then put that camera as an overlay on the main camera.

But keep in mind overlays can be very annoying to view in VR.

If you just want to show the image the user took, I would do that on a screen in world space.

I never made anything like that so I wouldn't know sorry.

[rancid shuttle]

This is how I did an overlay in my game. You do what is best for your project. But know that only world space canvas works in VR.

[rancid shuttle]

Descale the canvas

Hey does anyone have any idea on how to render a stereo image on a plane in VR?
Simple rendering the left part for the left eye and the right part for the right eye doesn't seem to give the best quality.
I know something has to be done with the depth map of the image and the camera distance to the image but I'm not sure exactly how?

[rancid shuttle]

If you're using the XRI Toolkit XR rig. That doesn't use physics at all.

[tropic garden]

With XRI Toolkit, is teleportation supposed to be able to work with trigger colliders? When I set the collider to trigger it doesn't work.

[ember lintel]

I just upvoted this bug report. Do you know if the issue has been fixed or is it still present in Unity 6.1?

[safe dragon]

They rejected it last time I checked. I had to use an asset from the store

[ember lintel]

One that works in HDRP? Do you remember which one?

[safe dragon]

Nah, I went back to standard pipeline because of that and used this asset https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/shaders/fullscreen-camera-effects/mirrors-and-reflections-for-vr-212493#description

Can someone help me with making joystick movement for vr???

[austere cedar]

Joystick movement for VR:

UnityEngine.XR.InputDevice handRDevice = InputDevices.GetDeviceAtXRNode(XRNode.RightHand);
bool stickRSupported = handRDevice.TryGetFeatureValue(UnityEngine.XR.CommonUsages.primary2DAxis, out Vector2 stickR);
//example get input from joystick
if (stickR.x > 0.35f) bRight = true;
if (stickR.x < -0.35f) bLeft = true;

[worn escarp]

Just found out that when running my project if there's no controllers detected it's using hand tracking (kind of, my controller visuals are shown, rotated). I'm using OpenXR and XRI 3.x. Do you know how can i disable hand tracking? In the openxr settings I don't have the Hands interaction profile added and there are no features related to hands selected.

[north path]

There likely are hands in the prefab you used from XRIT then @worn escarp

[narrow briar]

what's the performance delta in 6.1 6.2 and 6.3?

[light raft]

how do I fix the head clipping issue in vr
where I put my head through a wall and move so I would move into the wall

[formal parcel]

Is it possible to get a gorilla tag mod into my unity project and how?

[worn escarp]

The visible hand models when no controllers are found are the custom ones I have for my game. I think it might have something to do with input actions.

[north path]

Performance is similar, maybe a bit better for later versions due to optimizations in render graph.
6.2+ do have MeshLOD and Project Auditor, which is great

[north path]

There are solutions for this online. You can do this by reading out collision from the head and moving the player away from the wall normal or fading the screen

[narrow briar]

6.2 has lod? super nice! ok im importing

rendergraph requires URP. this might be a bit much. at least meta audio works ... maybe

[north path]

URP is very scalable as well.
But MeshLOD is great and more efficient than Lodgroups for how it works

[narrow briar]

yes it's pretty dope, you've tested it on quest 2?

hardware is so low end on these things that weird bottlenecks creep up

How do I add mods into my unity project?

[jagged marsh]

Hi, i came from the VRChat official discord, came across this bug and ive gotten everything set up for compatability for the current vrchat creator companion, but it just bugs out when i try to import my package, ive tried the Dragn n Drop and the Import Custom Package methods, any idea why it bugs out and says its successful but doesnt actually import?

Please @ reply me, ill probably be busy or asleep.

[north path]

Wdym? Unity is an engine. Content you add isn't a mod, it's in the source.
If you want to add mod support, addressables can help if people use Unity. Using mono is easier for mod support, but there also are mods possible for il2cpp

[old pendant]

Same as the guy above, I'm also coming from the VRChat discord server, but this time I'm having a really hard time getting this interactive menu set up for both vr and non vr players, it doesn't register any inputs for some reason even though I tried every XR input modules and the regular ones

[atomic trout]

Anyone know the device limitations of Meta Quest3 for Unity applications?
What kind of affect it could have on the development direction and evolution of a app?

lets assume I am creating a application with virtual tour

[unique matrix]

i have a renderTexture on a quad acting as sort of a menu of sorts, using the poke interactor stuff, and im trying to get this menu so that when u touch it at a certain spot, it will spawn a GO on a gameboard, seperate from everything, and it will spawn at the POS where u touched on the menu, into the gameboard. Simplest way I could think of is just some sort of simple math or raycasting that takes the local space where u touched the menu, and just translating that to the bigger game board localspace , but is there some hidden tech here that might make this streamlined ?

[sacred bane]

If anyone can help me with movement in my game can you dm me and no there is no pay

[austere cedar]

People are not often willing to dm. You should explain better what you want to achieve and show some code... I have answered once on joystick movement you asked about earlier.

[sleek rampart]

whats he is asking is he needs someone to help him set up the movement

[unique matrix]

Im trying to get a slider UI component set in world space to work with poke interactor, the UI interaction checkbox is enabled, but my sliders wont work with it ? Am i missing something, like colliders or something (because its set in world space? ) It works with buttons on my UI map just fine, but not sliders

[unique matrix]

nvm, I think it was just a selection size thing, but its still major buggy, sometimes it works perfectly, sometimes you gotta finness the finger around correctly, and other times it just stops working. Kindaa sucks but eh lol

[unique matrix]

actually yea, anyone have any suggestions why my headset gets VERY pixalted sometimes, unity lagging af, its very difficult to playtest anything, and the longer i work with it, the more frequency this stupid bugginess works while doing dev work. Weird thing is im on an entirely seperate scene, very minimal logic, it feels more of a hardware thing than anything, but has anyone else experience this and have suggestions ?

[unique matrix]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/vr-ui-slider-issues/821416/15
apparently its pretty common, has anyone ran into any possible way to have a more accurate result ? Its hilarious how when im trying to slide the bottom slider, the top most one out of the 3 gets selected instead, not the one im directly touching lol

I changed the values before, and it at least works now, but the values were wicked low, yet still, like my example above where a far off slider would get selected, idk if its certain values I should only be changing

Hello, does anyone know why my game object is gone after I grab it?

[drowsy steeple]

Hey I'm working on a HDRP Unity 6 OpenXR Project, I'm using the Quest 2 with Virtual Desktop (which uses SteamVR) to test in PCVR. I have enabled the pushing of Forwarding Data from VD and have got some hand tracking to work. However, there seems to be an issue with the thresholding where the hands stop tracking too easily if there is not enough movement picked up by the headset. On the Quest2 the hands are still tracking as when I turn my palms towards the headset the hand-tracking menu buttons overlay over the Demo but this only means that for whatever reason Unity/SteamVR are not accepting the handtracking due to some threshold. They just stop tracking in the input debugger unless there is a large increase in hand activity. My belief is that this is caused by the translation layer between Meta -> SteamVR and it has effected the hand tracking threshold. For some reference this is the hand visualizer sample provided in the XR Hands plugin. Anyone run into a similar issue?

[drowsy steeple]

Its falling through the floor due to physics check that your colliders are properly setup they probably need to be convex if they’re mesh colliders - you can also make your own

These do not work any more, if you are using a tutorial, find one for unity 6. If you are using gorilla tag movement, just switch it to tracked XR device or whatever it’s called.

[scarlet cosmos]

If you have test builds enabled (for horizon os) in the quest mobile app, update so you can have the new navigator UI, then go to navigator, and hit hide portable windows, or if you aren’t wanting to use that, then I have no idea what you should do. Is this running standalone or connected to a PC? If so what OS is your pc? What version of unity do you have?

[merry terrace]

does anyone have any tips to optimize VR for HDRP? Would like to share.

[sly steppe]

Building my apks (i’m using unity 6.1) does not let me install nor launch them on my headset. Trying to install through sidequest gives me the error “Premature end of stream, needed 1 more bytes” And through mobile vr station i don’t exactly remember the error but it wouldn’t download. I made sure to test with a working apk and sure enough it worked perfectly. I would appreciate if someone could help me out

[scarlet cosmos]

Not to be rude or negative but HDRP is hard on pcs, but standalone vr is basically a mobile phone. If it was possible, every android and iOS game would look AAA

You have little hope my friend

[merry terrace]

Wait, I thought this section was for PC too

I'm developing for PC release, not mobile.

[merry terrace]

I know it's trickier than standard pipeline but it's not impossible.

[scarlet cosmos]

I didn’t know, most people here are targeting quest

But you have a chance

You can try in urp and get much better performance if you just port over the shaders

Why are you using hdrp?

I mean I’m not trying to be that guy who answers with an answer that just is stupid like “just switch to urp” but I made this switch for my game

Looks the same except for about 3 pixels

[merry terrace]

mostly because i'm making an atmopsheric horror game and saw the fidelity on HDRP being very good. Thought that since my game involves no character movement (basically waves of npcs coming to you and you shooting them) i could do something with HDRP VR

[scarlet cosmos]

Interesting, so I assume you are using heavy amounts of raymarching? (Volumetric like clouds, fog, etc)

[merry terrace]

Yes, lightning is a key contributor to our project's atmopsheric goal

And HDRP lightning is just exactly what we're looking for, albeit harder on VR.

[scarlet cosmos]

If you would like (because raymarching is terrible performance, say the display you are going for is the quest 3 just for example, then it’s 4k, so think about every single pixel of those millions being simulated) I can share some resources I’ve made that run on standalone vr at 465 fps

Not even kidding

For volumetrics

It’s all mostly noise, it’s animated, and looks very similar to volumetrics

[merry terrace]

That would be awesome, any share is godsend right now. Pretty hard to find optimizations for VR on this pipeline tbh

[scarlet cosmos]

Let me finish it first and add some notes to the shader graph

So it’s readable

You can optimize it further by using dithering, but it looks like how 3d was looking when it was still ascii in a terminal

[merry terrace]

Yea, everyone in my team has a quest 3 so we basically aiming for that display res 😅

[scarlet cosmos]

You can also apply it to clouds also

That’s what I created it for

You just input a texture for it to base off of and assign a script to a plane

5 clicks plus some time in adobe illustrator or photoshop (or if you’re broke like me photopea) to design a texture for it or if you’re fancy you can use shaders to generate one, then you have your fog.

[merry terrace]

wow, that sounds impressive. although the project is 70% interior-based 😅

[scarlet cosmos]

My -4 brain cells are confused

[merry terrace]

basically no clouds

just volumetrics from light sources

[scarlet cosmos]

Oh

Still confused (I am hanging on from a triple shot of espresso)

Very loosely

I am only sane because of my little code helper (cat)

[merry terrace]

You said you could also apply it to clouds as in exterior right? 😅

Just wanted to point out that most of our game's action happens within 4 walls

[scarlet cosmos]

I meant use it al clouds

[scarlet cosmos]

As clouds*

[merry terrace]

aah

gotcha

[scarlet cosmos]

It blocked my message when I corrected myself for the first time

It is quite efficient and looks amazing as long as you have high quality textures

Like for the whole thing based on how close you are I recommend mipmaps or whatever it’s called when you have lower texture resolutions to lessen stress on the gpu

I mean the less system requirements needed the more players right?

I honestly wish I could be going for steam VR and PCVR but the meta market just has more players

I have to hit at least 72 fps on my games for 20 mins straight

And that’s for them to consider publishing the game

[merry terrace]

that's true, yea. On Steam from what we surveyed most VR players have a mid-to high end rig

[scarlet cosmos]

Also developing on an i7 14700k, a 4060, and a dash of hope is the maximum I can afford

I could barely afford the pc but it accelerated the speeds so much

I literally tried to use a laptop that was $450

And that’s in CAD

[merry terrace]

that's actually a good minimum for PCVR

with medium graphics on VD for example

[scarlet cosmos]

When you are developing a game all you hear is just airplane

As soon as I tried minecraft with shaders all I heard was ✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️

[merry terrace]

lel, i see. I'm not really advanced in developing, i'm just learning and coding through our roadmaps, im basically the creative director to our project and also tehnical artist with the lightning

and music too

[scarlet cosmos]

By the way, I am currently working on making the volumetrics have support for additional lights too

This should probably be taken to some kind of dm, other people deserve a vr thread too 😅

[prisma stratus]

re: Meta Quest 3 and Texture2DArray in URP shaders, are there any performance implications to be aware of? I'd like to implement UDIM textures by simply converting the integer u coordinate to a UDIM index in shader graph and then sampling the texture2darray. There could be a relatively large number of small textures in the array. Does anybody have experience with this vs. atlasing the UDIMS into a single texture? I would prefer to simulate UDIMs instead of atlasing for the solution I am working on, but am worried about performance issues, specifically for Meta Quest 3. I found some google results claiming that texture2darrays were not performing well on Quest (1), but didn't find any info on Quest 3.

im having trouble using the poke interactor to work with sliders correctly. Has anyone else experienced buggy sliders with the poke interactor? Basically the touching action isnt very accurate at all, when touching the slider it would go either all the way down or all the way up with no real precision, and even just touching it to "select" it, ud have to finess the finger movement to get it working properly. It seems no matter what type of values are in the XRPoke Interactor inspector can adjust the accuracy of it to a great extent either, the issue kinda remains

I'm trying to get climbing to work on a moving physical object. This is easier said than done, because the ClimbProvider in the XRIT sets the player in world space I guess, because parenting it doesn't work. I haven't got it working. Other things I tried include using a FixedJoint after switching to Rigidbody XR Origin, and manually setting an offset.

The object that im trying to parent to is a train on a spline that is being moved with transform.position (snap on spline) and rb.velocity(as a force to move it)

Has anyone done this before, or has an idea on how to do this? Thank You

I’ve been experimenting with a simple tactile glove (coin cell motors for haptic feedback) controlled via Arduino. So far I’ve gotten the glove working with rumble patterns through Arduino’s IDE, using code adapted from earlier experiments. The system includes:

Arduino Elegoo Uno R3

Coin cell vibration motors sewn into glove fingertips

2N2222 transistors for motor control

Diodes and a breadboard for circuit protection and layout

Basic wiring and connectors

No public repo or Unity integration yet—this is very much a “first steps” build. My next goal is figuring out Unity integration so I can link motor activation to VR events. If folks want, I can post updates as I work toward Unity integration.

For those who’ve done this before—what’s your go-to method for linking haptic hardware to Unity for real-time feedback?

[sly steppe]

Like 12 gigs

[wary birch]

I would recommend getting some experience with Unity before going for a VR game. And if you install URP there’s a render scale slider. You can drag that down to like 0.1 and use low quality textures to achieve a pixelated look. As to your question, you can do what they did in that video you just have to be careful with single vs multi pass rendering. Use multipass rendering to be safe. Should be in the OpenXR settings.

[alpine elm]

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm working on a Unity VR project with Meta Quest headset detection and running into a frustrating issue with OVRManager events. Hope someone can help me out!

My Setup:

Unity 6 with OpenXR
Meta XR SDK v77.0.0 (com.meta.xr.sdk.all)
Trying to automatically switch between VR and Desktop modes when headset is put on/taken off
The Problem: I'm using OVRManager.HMDMounted and OVRManager.HMDUnmounted events to detect when the headset is physically on/off the user's head. Here's what happens:

HMDMounted event - Works perfectly! When I put the headset on, it fires and switches to VR mode
HMDUnmounted event - Never fires when I take the headset off! My app gets stuck in VR mode

My Theory: I suspect this happens because when the headset is removed, the XR subsystem becomes inactive, which causes OVRManager to stop updating, so the HMDUnmounted event never gets a chance to fire.

Code Snippet:

var hmdMountedEvent = ovrManagerType.GetEvent("HMDMounted");
var hmdUnmountedEvent = ovrManagerType.GetEvent("HMDUnmounted");

hmdMountedEvent.AddEventHandler(null, OnHmdMounted); 
hmdUnmountedEvent.AddEventHandler(null, OnHmdUnmounted);

Questions:

Has anyone else experienced this with Meta XR SDK v77+?
Is there a known workaround for reliable headset unmount detection?
Should I be using a different approach like OVRPlugin.userPresent or Unity XR device monitoring instead?
Any advice would be super appreciated! I've been banging my head against this for hours 😅

[austere cedar]

I use older Unity and older SDK without the events, so I can't say if it should work. This is what works for me both Quest and PCVR (to pass the Meta tests), so you can test if you like.

bPauseNow = (!OVRPlugin.hasInputFocus || !OVRPlugin.hasVrFocus);```
I never got this to work: ```bool presenceFeatureSupported = headDevice.TryGetFeatureValue(UnityEngine.XR.CommonUsages.userPresence, out bool userPresent);```

[austere cedar]

This also pauses when the MetaButton is pressed.

[alpine elm]

Oh, oh.
Thank you, My issue has been resolved!

Add a second camera, put it to render to Display 1, and disable XR rendering

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/XR.XRSettings-gameViewRenderMode.html

When I set it to none, it jitters the last view of the mirror. Which is weird...

Also if I turn on a Screen Space Overlay Canvas in this mode, it renders to the left eye of the headset and not the main window

Very strange

[north path]

I would have to dive into it again, but I got monitor-only UI and seperate output to VR and monitor working in the asset

Not 100% sure about the exact settings atm

[tropic garden]

I can render a UI no problem to the main window, however I believe the scene is still being rendered to the main window behind the canvas. I am trying to disable the rendering of the camera to the main window to help with performance.

Btw thanks for your responses!

[north path]

Have you checked the profiler/frame debugger if it does that?

[tropic garden]

Can the frame debugger be hooked up to a build?

[north path]

I think so, but not sure if I ever tried

Profiler for sure

3rd party GPU profiling tools also might be worth a shot. Like NSight on PC

[thorny olive]

alright first of all will UMA character works fine with vr

Not sure what uma characters are

Has anyone noticed in their games sometimes around the outside edges there's blue or black? This has occured in my own games, and also a game called battle talent for me. Not sure how to fix this.. If I do something like stretching the camera I can see it repeating

It appears to be the background settings

If I change it to solid color and change the color, it changes.

It's like my camera isn't rendering everything it can see

I suppose a work around is making my background type solid color and making it black?

[thorny olive]

ok how can i use a humanoid character instead of default
and how can i setup the hands IK with respect to controllers and procedural walking

[north path]

Make sure Unity is updated and you have stable performance (use OVR Metrics)

[north path]

I used FinalIK for that

[sudden elk]

I just realized that the audio sampling rate for my metaquest app is 24000, which I'm assuming is for performance reasons. Is there a way to change this to 44100 and is that a bad idea?

[thorny olive]

it costs money

[north path]

Yes, but it might save you a crap ton of time. I'm just telling what worked for me

[stiff basin]

uhh im unity 6000 something. this doesnt happen in beatsaber, vrchat, and like any other game i load up in vr. just my own game and ive notice it happens in battle talent aswell, outside edges of my screen being able to see the environment / skybox

but yeah ig i just fixed it by setting the environment to solid color black

cant tell its there

[north path]

Then maybe your game has bad optimization. Check performance in OVR Metrics

[stiff basin]

what optimization..

there is no optimization..

that is not the issue

has nothing to do with performance

[merry terrace]

anyone know why when using shader graph vfx from the unity's github the decals using a particle (i.e. blood decals on the floor)don't show in VR but they shown in scene and game display?

also when using them with VR the particles follow the camera even in the demo scene provided. Even the default camera from GooBall scene, if you move it around, the particles follow it.

EDIT: nvm fixed it

Hey, I want to implement grabbing items from a holster parented to the XR rig; how can I achieve this?

[unique matrix]

idk if unity vr stuff has functionality built in for this, but if not, u could just parent / copy the transform + an offset of the object to the hand

and colliders for the actual detection

[thorny olive]

hello i am now using Final IK

i have Added VRIK to the character

now how do i tell it to follow the VR

Why does my Unity VR project (for Meta Quest 2) take so long (more than 15 minutes) the first time I enter Play Mode?

I’m using Unity 6.1 with XR/OVR setup for Quest 2. Every time I open the editor and press Play for the first time, Unity freezes for over 15 minutes before Play Mode actually starts. After that, it runs normally.

Is this normal for Quest 2 VR development? Has anyone else faced this issue, and what can I do to reduce the wait time?

[sterile furnace]

hello everyone, I was working with AVPro media player and Meta sdk all in one asset but there is this thing where I am stuck. In my simulator when I run video on stereoMode it does run on stereo... but as soon as I build it on meta quest 2, it runs in top bottom(2 video running top and bottom)

I want it to run on stereo.. I have tried every permutations but couldnt get it right.... So please if anyone could help me with this.

On simulator

on meta quest 2

[pine bison]

You're using the Android package version of AVPro? And in your screenshot the packing is set to none, presumably you've already tried setting that to top/bottom?

[sterile furnace]

i have tried all packing combination.. It doesnt do anything

[pine bison]

I haven't used AVPro since V2, I guess there's no longer separate packages per platform

[sterile furnace]

I am using this package

[sterile furnace]

I am using v3 free version

[sterile furnace]

why is that it runs on Stereo mode in simulator but in metaquest it runs like this?

[pine bison]

Probably not, I can't speak for V3 specifcally

[sterile furnace]

ok...

[pine bison]

Oh no I see it's still split in platform packages

Are you sure stereo is supported in the trial version though?

[sterile furnace]

idk about that...

[sterile furnace]

whats that?

[pine bison]

It doesn't matter probably

You should ask in their support thread on the forum

[sterile furnace]

uhh.. i have a deadline tomorrow

[north path]

Why doesnt the meta SDK just have 1 grabbable component which works on an object with mesh collider and rigidbody. It just never seems to work...

anyone else can help me with this

does anyone know how to deobfuscate a global-metadata.dat

ping me if you can help

[cursive timber]

We’re can I find a step by step tutorial that is not outdated and is in the newest version of unity that shows me how to add hands that make a certain hand gesture when a certain button is pressed

Ping me if u can help pls

[solid panther]

Out of curiosity. Is this possible to develop a game that start with a stereo video and then switch to the game itself, and then whenever needed switch between both VR video, to actual 3d space ?

[opal willow]

there is not really a tutorial i know , but its easy. [if you are using OpenXR]
first -> read input from user controller, for example the [A] on the oculus quest controller , you will check first if its in the Input map , if not you will add it
second -> in the hand animate your custom gesture , and make an animator bool parameter that is when the input is checked it will change the parameter
third -> connect all [Input -> Change Animation Bool -> Play Hand Custom Gesture Animation]

[opal willow]

yes , you just need to change the skybox to a video and then change it back to its org skybox , and ofc activate and deactivate the environment

hi guys, I'm using Meta All in one sdk for my project and using Networked Avatars, I'm trying to persist the Networked Avatar in different scenes but its not working, it only loads for the scene it loaded and then if I go in next scene, it won't load there and when I come back to my first scene it won't load the Avatar either.

Thanks you !

[frank scarab]

yo so i tried getting this xr unity thing for a tutoriol and i put in the url but i need to change the version from 3.2.1 to 2.0.2 could someone help me im very new to unity

at the xr interaction toolkit

[solid panther]

So, I have another question 🙂 Yesterday I went to discover this exhibition / experience with my kids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjlJKSHKT1s // It was interesting and done with Unity.

I was not sure, how the whole thing was working technically.

In my mind, the experience would be streamed on each headset, so basically, the program is not on the headset, per se. and everybody would be sync. But it appears its not the case, as from what I understood from the guy who were putting the headset on people, each people have there own session running on the headset, but could still see other people around ?

So it seemed multiplayer, but without being multiplayer ?

[spiral ravine]

Yea it seems like its local multiplayer

[solid panther]

even if each player is in their own session ?

[spiral ravine]

Yea

As in on the local network

[solid panther]

So, the game is streaming from a server multiple session ?

Hum interesting.

That would explain why it was so low rez in term of polygon and texture.

[spiral ravine]

I mean I don’t know for sure as I wasn’t one of the devs but I would hazard a guess it is being played locally multiplayer

[half valve]

can we get tech / dev support in this channel? i'm messing around with a quest 3 and the create with VR tutorial stuff and have a few questions

basically, I've got a grabbable object with a socket interactable on it, and whenever I attach something to it and pick it up, physics seems to break - when i drop the object it flies towards the wall

the object and its attachment both behave normally on their own, its when I put the two together that things get weird, is this a settings issue or are these types of interactions just not supposed to mix

my (admittedly beginner) intuition is telling me that its got something to do with the rigidbody / box colliders overlapping, but i'm still kinda new to this

[spiral ravine]

If I was to hazard a guess I would think that one of your objects is not being set to kinematic

[half valve]

neither of the objects are kinematic to begin with

"is kinematic" - means that physics will apply to it?

[spiral ravine]

Kinematic pretty much just means it will only move when your telling it too

Ie grabbing and moving it around

For your grabbable are you using one of the pre existing grabbable components from either openxr or meta etc?

[half valve]

yeah

they come with rigidbody already

[half valve]

ok im gonna try it in a sec

now, when I let it go it just hovers in mid air

i ticked the "is kinematic" checkbox on both objects

ignore the "new text" lol

[spiral ravine]

under your grabbable component does it have an option like kinematic when selected?

[half valve]

lemme check

nope. i'm guessing I'm gonna have to add it?

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody.html <--via this?

i think i found a better way, actually. the XR component has an events tab, I just set the "select entered" event to make the object's rigidbody's isKinematic property "true' and the "select exited" event unsets it

the combined object still bounces / flips on the table when I let it go, but behaves like expected when it hits the floor of the room

OH there we go i got it. so it seems like only one needs isKinematic = True

[half valve]

got a different question now - i've made a separate scene to act as the title scene for my little VR app. i've got a Canvas->Panel with a few buttons on it , but where does the XR origin go? without it unity just complains that no cameras are rendering

[spiral ravine]

Since it’s vr you would want the ui to be in world space rather than how you would traditionally set it up. You would need a bit of an environment to hold the Start scene than place the player(xr origin) within the scene

[half valve]

so like a room

ok

I take it that all UI would need to be like that?

[spiral ravine]

Yes I mean you can but having it like traditional feels really bad in vr as you will have elements blocking your view

[shy linden]

how do I connect my controllers

[shy linden]

no how do i connect them to unity

@echo cobalt

can someone help? I don't know how to connect Controllers to Unity i have a Meta Quest 3

[austere cedar]

Example of how to get the A-button.

UnityEngine.XR.InputDevice handRDevice = InputDevices.GetDeviceAtXRNode(XRNode.RightHand);
bool button1RSupported = handRDevice.TryGetFeatureValue(UnityEngine.XR.CommonUsages.primaryButton, out bool button1R);

But if you want to show hands and use other features you should probably use a toolkit.

[shy linden]

whare do i do that

@austere cedar

[austere cedar]

In Update() for your player, or FixedUpdate().

[half valve]

so I've got a question - i'm checking out other games on the quest store and i'm guessing that if it doesn't explictly support teleport movement it can't be enabled elsewhere?

i get motion sick whenever I try to play something that requires movement

[spiral ravine]

Yes the movement is implemented by the developer. i would watch out for the green comfortability rating in the quest store

[half valve]

right got it

Hi all, anyone know how to show a video with transparent background in VR app?? the only format that save transparent BG is MOV but I didn't know why Unity is not accepting the file. It accepts MP4 but contains black background. I got this error when importing the MOV file

[north path]

VP8/9 worked for me last time: https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/Manual/VideoTransparency-codecs.html#webm-with-vp8

You can also have 2 clips. 1 for color and 1 single channel video for transparancy.
Or if you're green screening you can green screen in real time with a shader

The Unity video player can definitely be buggy tho. AVPro is a great alternative, but rather expensive

[quasi jolt]

I choose VP8/9 choice before exporting from Adobe Premiere before and it gave me the previous error

[north path]

Maybe it cannot play on windows but it can on Android? Maybe a different file type can be used?
Which error?

Hello, I'm using a Meta Quest Pro. And I have taken ove the work of someone else. What is already done is based on Open XR with Meta XR feature group. The plug in used is in the scree.

My ultimate goal is to make a digital twin of a physical object appear on top of it, giving the user the sensation of holding the digital object when he takes the real one.
For example, detecting a remote control and spawning a digital remote control on top of it.
The method I’m being asked to use is the following:
The physical remote control must have a QR Code or an image on it that the headset can identify. When the image is detected, it triggers the creation of the digital object.
My problem is that no matter how much I search online, I can’t find a solution to do that with the plug in I use.
I thought I had something with MRUK, but in the end it doesn’t work.

So if anyone has an idea on how I can do that event without the image detection, I would be grateful.
Thank you fir taking the time to read.

[chrome gull]

Hi everyone. I'm using Meta Quest 3 and I was using a simple code to take input from the XR controller. In editor, when the simulation stars, the code works, while if I build the scene and run the exe in administrator mode the inputs don't work. Here I will an extract of the code

InputDevice activeDevice;
TextmeshProUI textInfo;

void Update() {
 if (activedevice.TryGetFeatureValues(CommonUsage.primaryButton, out bool primaryButton) && primaryButton))
 {
   textInfo.text = "Button pressed";
 }
}

I'm writing from my phone so it maybe have some errors, but the method I used is that one. Can someone help me?

[austere cedar]

What if you set activedevice = InputDevices.GetDeviceAtXRNode(XRNode.RightHand) just before, in Update(). How do you set it now?

[chrome gull]

I have something like this

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.XR;

public class Test : MonoBehaviour
{
    private InputDevice activeController;

    void OnEnable()
    {
 InputDevices.deviceConnected += OnDeviceConnected;

        
 
        
    }

    void OnDeviceConnected(InputDevice device)
    {
        if (device.characteristics.HasFlag(InputDeviceCharacteristics.Right) &&
            device.characteristics.HasFlag(InputDeviceCharacteristics.Controller))
        {
            activeController = device;
        }
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (activeController.isValid)
        {
# code I put in the other message
        }
    }
}

The thing is, why does in editor work, but not in build?

[austere cedar]

I don't know why but I would log to a screen Text that OnDeviceConnected actually is called so that activeController is set. Or try the line I mentioned.

[spiral ravine]

Could be a missing assembly or an incorrect assembly

Although you should get errors if you look in your log with that

[austere cedar]

In the device build the log is harder to get.

so I've pulled a gun prefab from the unity store, slapped an XR interactable component on it and when I load into the scene it's just floating there. i thought anything with a rigidbody would automatically start falling?

Im working on a vr game in unity using portals but right now that portals camera follows my heads motion making an broken scene so does anybody know how to fix this?

[halcyon goblet]

Actually this is @unborn barn project from github do you think you can help Daniel?

[spiral ravine]

you could probably just use a second static camera

Rather than one on the player for the portal

[sweet ember]

XR hands dont work for me at all, im using the XR controller input action manager

[halcyon goblet]

There is one on the portal

I just need to stop rotation and that’s all I care about

[spiral ravine]

Does the portal move to face the player?

[halcyon goblet]

No

[halcyon goblet]

I could share the GitHub to the project Im using to learn so you can see the issue yourself

[spiral ravine]

Sure I can take a look

[halcyon goblet]

https://github.com/Croydon/unity-portals-vr/tree/upgrade

this is the one im using because its a port to a newer version

[spiral ravine]

And the behaviour you don't want is for the portal to rotate with the player's head movement, correct?

[halcyon goblet]

Yes

Like tilt

[spiral ravine]

Gotcha I will look when I get a chance may be able to find something

[halcyon goblet]

Ok

Other axis are fine I just want tilt gone so it stays flat because tilting your head ruins it rn

[frank scarab]

yo i tried makeing a hand for my player model but it came out like this ive tried a bunch of things and dont know what to do can someone give me tips or have had the same promblem or could send me a hand for blender would be appreciated

Using XR Origin, I'm trying to use the Ray Interactor prefab. I have the ray casting and interacting with my UI, but for some reason I can't click any buttons. I can hover them, but clicking isnt' working. What am I missing? I'm used to Unity 2022, where I just grab the sample XR rig and i'm good to go. But, in Unity 6 samples, it uses all this extra stuff, and the Ray Interactor isn't included in the sample scene.

Unity makes really weird choices with its XR components sometimes.

Like why choose on the XRInteractorLineVisual to force a min and max line width?
I'm just going to remove the Range from the field, but seems silly the choice was made.

public class XRInteractorLineVisual : MonoBehaviour, IXRCustomReticleProvider
{
    const float k_MinLineWidth = 0.0001f;
    const float k_MaxLineWidth = 0.05f;
    const float k_MinLineBendRatio = 0.01f;
    const float k_MaxLineBendRatio = 1f;

    [SerializeField, Range(k_MinLineWidth, k_MaxLineWidth)]
    float m_LineWidth = 0.005f;

I'm encouring an issue with the Meta XR Simulator controllers on MacOS. Basically: controllers work the first time I start the game, then they stop working the second time I start it. I've recorded a video reproducing the issue here: https://www.loom.com/share/2f5b521e553c49b6a1dd0e4540b7a33b (recommend watching at 1.5x and skipping the build stages) - I'm new to Unity and XR in general so maybe I don't understand something obvious.

[unique matrix]

does anyone have experience with VR UI interactions ? I added these canvas buttons (took me a minute to realize I need a graphics raycaster component for buttons to work with poke interactors), but the tracking stuff is not too consistent. With buttons kinda close like the image above, sometimes another button triggers near the vacinity, even though the hand is clearly much closer to the one im actually trying to click. Img2 has my poke interactor settings, but it seems no matter what values I have there, I cant seem to find a good combination. Has anyone else had trouble with VR UI issues like this ?

[merry terrace]

how do you guys make VR Hands collide with each other in unity?.. I tried a lot of things but i feel like i'm losing my mind.

I have my XR Origin > hand object > hand physics > fingers with capsule colliders.

I add rigid body to hand parent with kinematic off but they spin around when touched.

[wary birch]

You want to move the hands through forces and torques, just like in the real world.

i've tried just working with the virtual desktop that steamVR provides but not only is it blurry but with 2 monitors 1 of them will never display my mouse pointer

i could probably get some masking tape / painters tape to cover the proximity sensor but that's really jank IMO

guys i need some help

[half valve]

nice. it worked. thanks!

[half valve]

someone tell me if I got this right - if I want one object to obstruct another (i.e movement) they just both need to have colliders and the engine takes care of the rest, right? you only need rigidbodies if you want the physics engine involved

[wary birch]

what do you mean by this?

[half valve]

ykw? nvm. i was having trouble because i was somehow able to teleport into this giant desk in my scene and I thought the problem was with colliders interacting/not interacting correctly, turns out I just needed to set the correct teleport layer on the teleportation area, and disable every other area

seems to work correctly now

Optimize for memory? This isn't enough information to help you fix the issue

[steel shadow]

My code isn't eating up memory, the game isn't reaching that point where my stuff kicks in so I'm not sure how to optimize. My guess is that maybe the apk processing/bit mapping is spiking the cpu load and hence less scenes -> less apk size seems to work?
I'm sorry I haven't been able to provide enough information, what else should I look into and provide so we can debug this better?

[north path]

Could be that you're loading too much content. Again, we dont know your project.

Make a debug build, autoconnect profiler and logcat if possible to check more logs, use OVRMetrics to see available memory, keep Unity updated, if possible use the memory profiler, start the app with an empty scene, which transitions to the full scene (crash) later, so you can log better

[half valve]

is there some trick to installing a specific version of the XR interaction toolkit? I've got 2.3.2, i need 2.4.3 to get the ladder climbable prefab, but later versions aren't in the registry (even with the pre-release package option enabled), and adding the package by name gets me version 3.2.something and that breaks my project

Hey guys, I am using hurricane VR and this to sync it over network: https://www.soft-evolution.com/multiplayer-for-hvr/index.html

Did anyone had the problem of objects being frozen in initial spawned/placed position (client side only) until somebody grabbed the object?
Host sees them fall down by gravity as intended.
I have tried a bunch of different solution for it and it made it worse.

So I've got two objects that are on a GrabInteractable Layer (magazine and gun, so as to disable the physics between the two when they're connected), but I can no longer pick them up in the scene. The Left/Right controllers on the Rig are both on the Default layer, and the interaction masks for all involved objects are "Default. am i missing something here? I thought I'd be able to pick them up, and that interaction layers don't consider the object header layer

Hi guys, I was trying to do the following tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLXLT6YCD6c&t=2s for my bachelor thesis. The main goal is firstly to get my set up ( HTC Vive Cosmos Elite and Valve Index Controllers) working and I wanted to replicate the tutorial 1:1. with a few changes (I've downloaded a free 3D Model for the hand and rigged it in Blender). I was using the newest version of Unity (6.1) but the problem was that the hand firstly just wasn't shown and greyed out in the hierachy. I've tried a couple of things in the project but also tried the same with other versions e.g. the version that Mubanga used (2020.3.24f) and one from 2021. Also I’ve tried to use a different hand model which was already rigged. All with the result that going into play mode in all of the different projects only shows a still screen in my VR glasses. I have no clue what's going on. Did someone experience something like this or has an idea what the problem could be?

so I'm trying to bind the A button on the right meta controller to a specific action, but I don't know how to intercept that press in a script. I know the grip sends the "select" event, and the trigger sends "activate" but what do the A, B, X, and Y buttons send?

been at this issue for multiple days, i cant seem to get all this mem usage down no matter what i do

this is oculus quest 3 creating too much eye textures or swapchains upon scene load. everything clears up if the scene manages to load properly. ive tried disabling xr as a whole while it loads but nothing seems to work

Is it possible to play a vr game in unity Mac without buildihn the game every time

[north path]

You can use VR emulators/simulators to test stuff and then build to see how it feels. Not ideal, but possibly

[north path]

1. Is this an issue if it clears up?
2. Is there only 1 camera active?
3. Is Unity updated?

[worthy mortar]

1. yes, most people crash because of it

2. most of the time yes, on rare occasions i have jumpscare cameras

3. yes

Hello everyone. Currently working on visionOS and having some hard times using transparent shaders over opaque objects. Whenever I look through a transparent object, the rendering of the opaque objects is kind of "stuttering" or delayed rendered. Are there any tips on how to set up shaders or similar to avoid this issues?

[silver pewter]

How to control the monitor screen when you play SteamVR? The issue the monitor screen always shows such a small portion of the VR

[glacial patio]

should i expect _CameraDepthTexture to be 0 on a quest 3, urp? shader is in the transparent queue, everything looks fine in the editor. depth texture is enabled in the render pipeline asset.

[glacial patio]

this 6yo meta blog post loosely implies that _CameraDepthTexture is not a thing on the quest, but unity doesn't seem to mind me trying to use it, not even so much as a warning. there are also explicit declarations from unity staff that it is in fact supported, though they are equally dated

so i'm not sure what the state of play actually is, using URP in 2025 ?

[silver pewter]

I had issues with _CameraDepthTexture in 6000.2, where in 6000.1 the same shaders worked. I had to downgrade Unity back to 6000.1

I am talking about Windows, and maybe Linux, didn't try it native on Quest yet

Windows VR at least

But I have to mention I wasn't able to get a copy of the color buffer in 6000.2 URP, where it did work in 6000.1

[glacial patio]

i see, thank you that might be helpful. we're on 6000.0, so maybe when i have a moment i'll see if an engine upgrade changed anything

I cannot get passthrough to work in Unity 6, latest OpenXR & OpenXR Meta packages, URP

Already added the AR Cam manager to the camera, put the alpha at 0, enabled camera passthrough in the OpenXR settings, and followed the guide multiple times. Any clue to what I could be missing?

Oh HDR is off as well

[wise forge]

Whats your current result? Black, or skybox?

[north path]

Black

Tries messing with the manifest as well, no luck

[wise forge]

And you are following this guide: https://developers.meta.com/horizon/documentation/unity/unity-passthrough-gs/ ?

[north path]

I use XRIT with the OpenXR For Meta Package. The app has to be using cross platform tools, to not be locked into the Meta SDK

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.xr.meta-openxr@2.2/manual/features/camera.html

But the settings from that are applied and the composition layer is in the scene (optional, but worth a shot)

[wise forge]

And you also did all those sub steps like configure the URP asset? https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.xr.meta-openxr@2.2/manual/get-started/graphics-settings.html#universal-render-pipeline

[north path]

Yep

[wise forge]

And also added the ar camera background comp?

Oh no, wait, misread that its necessary. its not

[north path]

Indeed not needed, but did add the AR Camera Manager, which is required

[wise forge]

Just to be sure, you only have one camera in your scene. Also did you check that the passthrough gameobject is created?

[north path]

Only one cam and I made the passthrough object manually in case it could not be created (not sure how to debug that on Quest)

[wise forge]

I would not create it manually first and just check on runtime if the gameobject is there frequently

or search for any comp: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.xr.compositionlayers@2.0/manual/composition-layer-component.html

hey all. I'm having a bit of an issue with OpenXR. We usually use Github to create pulls and push updates to the game.

Clearly your colleage made an error and it's them you should ask to fix it? 😅

Did you use Building blocks?

[north path]

No, I don't use the Meta SDK at all

[true meteor]

Are you using XR Interaction Toolkit$?

[north path]

Yep

[true meteor]

Did you check the alpha value of the camera

[north path]

Yes, followed all the steps from the OpenXR Meta package multiple times

[half valve]

so I'm working through this tutorial on making a realistic gun in VR, but it's a little out of date. I can't get the configurable joint working correctly even with the stuff in the comments. is there anything out there that's more up-to-date?

he does this thing with the "auto-configure anchor" option that i can't replicate because it zeros out when I un-tick the box

another thing is that he's put the gun and the mag on their own physics layer and disabled physics interactions within that layer via the project settings menu, so when I have multiple mags on a table they just clip through one another instead of stacking up. if physics interactions are enabled then a loaded gun will start spinning randomly, and fly off into the room somewhere. I'm guessing that's due to interactions between the rigidbody / box colliders but idk for sure (i'm trying to sort the slide action out first)

[north path]

Not sure if you saw, but the alpha is 0 yes

[edgy moss]

Guys I'm having issues uploading my VR game to meta since I can't use the website anymore and every time I try to upload it with the dev hub it says invalid APK and when I try to upload it to PC it says couldn't install

Version
Unity (2022.3.62f1)

[austere cedar]

There is another option to upload. "ovr-platform-util upload-quest-build ......" from cmd line, if you haven't tried.

But likely there is something wrong with the apk like it says, you should find out what exactly is wrong with it. Some of the tools should provide more info.

What do you mean upload it to PC?

[edgy moss]

PC store for rift

Also I have to remake it now my file corrupted but I didn't have much

[austere cedar]

Aha. For PC there should be no apk, only a directory containing the .exe.

[dry minnow]

Anyone know whether you can to program an APK (on Quest OS) to quit and restart itself? Would like to have this behavior for end of a short, linear app. I've tried some code I found but it didn't work.

[austere cedar]

Can't you just go to the start in the app when the end is reached?

[pine bison]

You need to run native android code to do this, it's not trivial

[light raft]

fixed it by clicking the button again

[modest lynx]

If I want to code in VR which headset do people recommend buying. Assuming money isn't an issue: Quality over value

[light raft]

code in vr?

if you mean playtest I just use whatever headset I have

which for me is the Meta Quest 3

[modest lynx]

yeah I mean, to code for VR etc, perhaps I worded that a little poorly

[light raft]

whatever headset you have on you should be good enough

[modest lynx]

I dont have one, so im looking at buying one, but no point in buying something for people to be like "That wont work" etc. I was looking at the SteamVR headset first

[light raft]

one of metas headsets should do fine

[modest lynx]

ill add it to the list, and do comparisons

[light raft]

ive only ever used HTC Vive which I never used Unity with and the Meta Quest 3 and Oculus Quest

the Quests ive used unity with

[patent otter]

I am.looking for some VR testers, Quest 2/3

DM me for more information if you are interested

[pine bison]

If your goal is to make a game to launch online, then you should get a Quest. Unfortunately the current state of the industry is that the market outside of Quest is very small

[wise forge]

Agree. if you want to target a wider audience, quest is currently the way to go, if its about standalone. Other headsets are mostly for SteamVR or other VR solutions or things like visionPro, which are way to expensive for consumer market but provide excellent quality.

[modest lynx]

Had a quick look at visionPro. Seems pointless unless I'm working with MacOS

[pine bison]

That would be correct

[modest lynx]

So either SteamVR or MetaQuest3 is the viable options

[pine bison]

I just assumed your goal in my response, what would you say your goal is?

[modest lynx]

Well in general learn the vr aspect of the unity code, but hard to test without a vr headset, so the better options which seem to be Metaquest or steamVR

[pine bison]

It's when it comes to distribution and market that the scales tip vastly in favour of Quest

And to be clear if you want to publish on quest, you do need a quest to test and profile on. But that can be a later concern if it becomes relevant

Since both Quest and SteamVR plug into the OpenXR standard now, the actual development experience isn't as different as it used to be

[modest lynx]

I'll add it to my shopping list

[pine bison]

the alternative that hasn't been mentioned yet is the Pico 4, which is quest-like but doesn't come with the Meta attachments

It also has an OpenXR plugin provider and has the same ability to run as a PC tethered VR headset

[modest lynx]

I'll have to pay off my electric bill first, but self Christmas gift it us

[pine bison]

With regards to PCVR dedicated headsets... I don't know what to recommend in 2025 tbh. The Valve Index is still the same as when it was released, which includes the best controllers in the game, but I don't know if the price is worth it anymore. The same could be said for the HTC Vive Pro 2, but that one is so heavy and also ships with the worst controllers. The HP Reverp was pretty neat but I don't know how it works after Windows Mixed Reality was deprecated. Might be worth a look for used offsers for these though

[unique matrix]

What does the dynamic occlusion checkmark under a mesh renderer component actually do ? I'm having some issues with a textmeshpro GO (just a number on the top left of a canvas) clipping in and out depending on my player's position in the world space as well as how I'm orienting the headset in the scene, and thought unchecking it would help but it didnt. Anyone have a fix suggestion for this ?

[wary birch]

I believe this disables rendering a mesh when offscreen without set up.

[unique matrix]

thats what I thought it was, which I was hoping was gonna fix my issue when I saw that option, but it didnt :/

[pine bison]

Can you show the behaviour in a video?

[unique matrix]

a bit hard to get the angle right but the vid shows the issue regardless

[austere cedar]

Maybe it is not occluded, but has to do with Z ordering (sort order).

[unique matrix]

like z fighting ? I thought of that too, so i brought it up slightly further than its background circular border, started small, and when that didnt work, I went -5, furthest I could go without the number comically popping out

[austere cedar]

I don't know if it's a good solution, but try and add a "sorting group" component. It's not exactly Z-fighting. But the distance from the camera to the object center determines the order normally.

[pine bison]

So this is on a canvas? Are you certain you’re using the text mesh pro UI component, and not the mesh version?

[next needle]

I'm a total newbie beginner here but I had a similar error when I started. Not sure if this will help but I added the All in One Meta XR SDK https://developers.meta.com/horizon/downloads/package/meta-xr-sdk-all-in-one-upm. Once you get the SDK installed in the package manager, it has a Project Setup Tool that will let you just click buttons to fix any issues. I also needed to use Windows instead of Android in my Project Settings for OpenXR - The tool will help you config all that.

[oak pilot]

Hello, does anyone know how to fix this?
If I'm changing Scriptable Render Pipeline Settings, all of my asset will be pink.

Right now, whenever I play it on editor using VR my custom shader will be pink, but in editor it's normal.

[north path]

Making yes, playing depends haha

[north path]

Either remove it from both the Graphics and ALL quality tiers (then you use the build in render pipeline, which is obsolete atm, so keep that in mind), or add your URP asset to all the fields and use URP

[north path]

<@&502880774467354641>

I tried asking in beginner but not having much luck getting help.
Does anybody here know how to make the player right hand controller able to have physical action with game objects?
I'm trying to learn Unity and I'm just making a box that when touched by the player's controller will trigger an explosion.
I have it all working where all other objects will trigger the box and it explodes, but can't get the player controller/hand to do it. It always just passes through.
Even my head will make the box explode but not my hand. Is tehre something special about the controllers that is different than everything else?

[wary birch]

I recommend learning Unity first before going into VR development. However if you want true physics interaction you need rigidbodies on the hands and drive them with forces and torques. If you simply want something to explode when the hand is in a box trigger, try Physics.CheckBox.

[next needle]

Thanks for replying. Did you mean kinematic checkbox? If so, I've done that. I'm using the Meta XR Tools -> OVRInteractionComprehensive and tried adding a rigid body with kinematic checked and unchecked. I also tried adding a collider with isTrigger checked and unchecked. I've been adding these to the OVRRightControllerVisual. Should I be putting it on a different Interactor object? I've tagged the hand "player" and added debug statements with object.tag and object.name. The output is "untagged" and "ControllerGrabLocation" which seems wrong.
I've done most of the Unity tutorials and am a software engineer in my regular job so thought VR would be a fun place to start. If you think there might be better tutorials for me to learn VR development, please let me know what you'd suggest.

[wary birch]

Close, but a kinematic rigidbody does not move, you want a non kinematic rigidbody

[wary birch]

Also the OVR extra stuff is not needed lol. You simply need to calculate a PD controller so that the hands try to reach the controllers. A basic PD controller is: spring * (targetpos - currentpos) + damper * (targetvel - currentvel)

[solid panther]

Im trying to create a small Freeroaming experience with pointscloud geometry for quest 3. I loaded one of my asset fine. But I was wondering, for bigger scene, would it be better to fake pointcloud via texture instead of using true pointcloud ? Im afraid of the framerate going down.

FIY thats the look Im looking for - right now it only looks like this:

[crude frost]

anyone using Polyspatial and Unity? When I have my volume camera enabled, it makes my world Canvas not visible. what am I missing? I haven't noticed this issue before.

Edit: reinstalling the packages and rebooting unity fixed it apparently. Fingers crossed build works

[north path]

One way to find out tbh.
If you render it efficiently it could go very far, especially if the points are opaque (maybe using the new beta shader RSUV for insane performance https://discussions.unity.com/t/renderer-shader-user-value-customize-your-visual-per-renderer/1682526)

A texture can be optimized further, but I feel like it's a bit of a downgrade compared to your vision

[solid panther]

Thanks, Im gonna check that. Im thinking I could use narrative and fade out to load different levels in order to be more efficient. Separate the experience in different chapter.

[north path]

If you do implement RSUV I'd love to hear your performance numbers!!!

Hellooo, I have been trying to run my game on vr (meta quest 3) for a while but its just an infinite loading screen in, i have XR initialized on run, all the packages should be installed and the game runs fine when i run it on unity app using the xr device simulator prefab, but when I built/run it on the vr its just an infinite loading screen, is there anything else I should check? because I feel like I have tried everything and I am lost

[crude frost]

try installing Android Logcat from Unity Package manager. Then plug in your headset, run your build, and see if you get any logs in logcat that clue you in to the issue

[sterile turtle]

alright thank you Il check with that then

[sterile turtle]

it seems to be this on loop

[crude frost]

Can you tell me a bit about your app? What features of the headset are you using? Passthrough? Scene Presence...etc

[sterile turtle]

idt it uses any fo that, its just a beat saber copy practically

[crude frost]

is there some type of XR simulator gameobject in your scene that needs disabled before build?

have you tried rebooting headset?

[sterile turtle]

might be xr deviice simulator actually let me disable it

[sterile turtle]

didnt seem to work (neither did the reboot) , the vr ran out of charge so Il come back to it later 😓

Just curious has anyone tried to access files from the Meta Quest 3 (like videos) through a build?

I've turned on all the permissions (I believe) on my headset - and no luck. Any Suggestions?

They might still apply
And a good start is Unity Learn, it even has a VR pathway

But it's not a common place

[winter sedge]

hi beginner here, how do i stop the GameObject with XR Grab Interactable from FLINGING everywhere when I press play </3

[warm bloom]

Is it a physics object? You may be placing it somewhere where the physics system thinks it's colliding against something and sending it flying

That, or the throwOnDetach property

[oak pilot]

How do we know if an object with a tag is being grabbed by a controller? I use meta building blocks.

[true meteor]

Hello,
When creating a new interactable (an object to be grabbed), you need an Interactor (such as a Grab Interactable or a Hand Grab Interactable).
To detect when the interactor/controller triggers an interaction with the interactable/object, one option is to add a PointableUnityEventWrapper component to the object and set the references to the interactor in the pointable field.
This way, you will have access to the event that lets you know when an object is grabbed.

[oak pilot]

thank you so much

[oak pilot]

which URP should I use?
Do I need to add it on both graphic setting and quality setting?

[true meteor]

Just by using the project setup tool, it will handle all the settings for you, so you don’t need to configure them manually.
https://developers.meta.com/horizon/documentation/unity/unity-upst-overview/

[oak pilot]

so I just need to apply all?

[true meteor]

Yep, Fix All and Apply All, unless you need a specific configuration

[oak pilot]

I'm not sure it will solve my custom shader problem. I think I need to assign URP rendering but I'm not sure which one

Urp asset with renderer, or you likely already have some in the Settings folder

There use Mobile or Low as a base

HI, trying to test out pushing a build to a release channel and im getting this error. I was working on the project on 2022, but decided to upgrade to Unity-6. Im a little confused if this is a unity issue or meta issue, but found this response from a unity employee: https://discussions.unity.com/t/gradle-build-issues-for-android-api-sdk-35-in-unity-2022-3lts/1502187/4

So 2022 NOW supports android 35, but meta itself does not support android 35 itself ? And because I upgraded, Im assuming Unity-6 uses android 35 by default, so now I cant build to meta, am I understanding that correctly? How do I revert to an earlier version on Unity-6 ?

[wary birch]

I’ve had this before, I believe it means your minimum API level is too high in the player settings, set it to something like level 34

[oak pilot]

after converting to URP I got this error

[north path]

That likely is from custom scripts/tools
Contact those devs @oak pilot

[pine bison]

You can install API version 34 next to where 35 is installed, and then select it in the player settings before you build

In pics there is my settings about the implementation of Decal Renderer Feature and the decal in my scene.
In play mode all works fine but when I try to build on Meta Quest 3 his behaviour is very weird, it seems like the decal is moving on the surface and it happen when I move the camera so when the perspective change.

I try to follow this thread on Unity Forum, the only one who talks about this problem
https://discussions.unity.com/t/oculus-quest-2-urp-decal-projector-shows-in-play-mode-but-not-in-build/884021/24

Is it possible to switch between Mixed and Virtual Reality?

[humble sinew]

Hi, does anyone know if there's a way to fix the following in unity 2018.2 (im hardlocked to this version): When reloading the scene every second time on my Oculus Go (ancient I know), I get weird pixels spread throughout the whole display. So the first time it's fine, second time pixels, third time fine, etc..

I tried reloading the scene again each second time, but that doesn't really work well

[oak pilot]

Hello, does anyone know how to reduce lag whenever I move to scene to another one?

[pine bison]

The problem here doesn't seem to be the loading itself, but that you get really poor performance on the second scene?

The fact that the framerate is ok at 1:35 indicates that it's the scene itself is heavy. Like that tree for example, how is that made? And do you have may of them?

Hi,

I’m trying to implement a custom behavior for an XR Grab Interactable:

The object should always follow its parent’s transform, even while grabbed.

The user should only be able to manipulate the local X position relative to the parent.

Rotation and other axes should remain locked to the parent.

I attempted a custom script inheriting from XRBaseGrabTransformer like this:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.XR.Interaction.Toolkit;
using UnityEngine.XR.Interaction.Toolkit.Transformers;

public class ParentRelativeXConstraints : XRBaseGrabTransformer
{
private Vector3 localStartPos;
private Transform parent;

public override void OnGrab(XRGrabInteractable grabInteractable)
{
    parent = grabInteractable.transform.parent;
    localStartPos = grabInteractable.transform.localPosition;
}

public override void Process(XRGrabInteractable grabInteractable, XRInteractionUpdateOrder.UpdatePhase updatePhase, ref Pose targetPose, ref Vector3 localScale)
{
    if (parent == null) return;

    Vector3 worldTarget = grabInteractable.interactorsSelecting[0].GetAttachTransform(grabInteractable).position;
    Vector3 localTarget = parent.InverseTransformPoint(worldTarget);

    localTarget = new Vector3(localTarget.x, localStartPos.y, localStartPos.z);
    grabInteractable.transform.position = parent.TransformPoint(localTarget);
    grabInteractable.transform.rotation = parent.rotation;
}

}

However, this didn’t work as expected: when I grab the object and move the parent, the object’s transform still changes after releasing it. I’m unsure which method of XRBaseGrabTransformer I should use or if there’s a better approach to achieve this behavior.

Would appreciate guidance on whether it’s possible to implement this fully with a custom transformer, or if there’s another recommended way to achieve parent-relative grabbing along a single axis.

Thanks!

[oak pilot]

My batches really high, I found out that deactivated my terrain from my scene reduce it up to 2500. How to optimize terrain material?

[oak pilot]

Does anyone know why my UI is showing up on Editor but not on build apk?

[wet axle]

[DO PING ME] Hi, I'm trying to get into Android XR with Unity but I'm not sure how to test it. Is there any way to test it with Unity? Like this https://developer.android.com/develop/xr/jetpack-xr-sdk/studio-tools.

I did see this note on that link saying It's not currently supported for OpenXR or Unity applications of any kind., so what's the alternative if I choose to work with Unity for Android XR?

[wary birch]

Are you wanting to use an emulator because you don’t own a Quest headset?

[wet axle]

Yeah, also wondering if Android XR build would work in Quest or not coz I think Android XR is a different OS, please do correct me if I'm wrong.

[wary birch]

Yes it would

If you’re using OpenXR, you just have to enable Meta Quest support

[wet axle]

Oh okay

So how about developing for Android XR? Like it's a different thing right?

[wary birch]

Not exactly, if you’re wanting to make an application for Android XR you’re most likely either going to use OpenXR or Oculus plug-in

[wet axle]

Ah got it. Gotta do more research, was just wondering about the testing 😅

[wary birch]

Do you have a PCVR headset?

[wet axle]

Nope

[oak pilot]

Play on Editor

[oak pilot]

Play on Build APK, UI suddenly gone

[oak pilot]

What I've already tried and didn't work :

1. Delete all the scene on build setting and re add
2. Canvas render mode World Space
3. Canvas scaler, scale with screen size can't be change due to UI scale mode set to World

And why It's really hard to click button with XR Raycaster? I should spamming then it work.

[oak pilot]

Does High Batches will have an effect on my UI Canvas?

[silver pewter]

Why Unity doesn't have support for OpenXR on Linux?
I don't see it in the roadmap too.

[north path]

It should be there under XR or platforms. Otherwise a new feature request also is possible

[north path]

If you use XRIT or another cross platform framework adding Quest support isn't hard

[north path]

Yikes. It's mainly the setpass calls which you need to get down. Check in the frame debugger why it doesn't batch, and if possible bake terrain to mesh chunks with LODs

[pastel robin]

Hello I would like to ask the Unity community here if there is someone familiar and good with using Unity Animation rigging and more specifically the IK for VR games for Free-Roam. I'm having several issues that I can't understand from where are coming and would be great if someone can assist me

[wary birch]

I’ve made some full body estimations in the past, what do you need help with?

[pastel robin]

Can I DM you my question if that is convenient for you

[void glacier]

is it possible to hide VR objects from MR?

[north path]

Do you mean occlusion? If so, yes
Meta has depth occlusion and you can also add the Spatial Occluder shader onto the world mesh etc

[void glacier]

what I mean is this:

1. I must have a interaction on the MR;
2. Completing this interaction will send you to the VR;
3. I want to separate objects between MR and VR.

I am using Meta Bulding Blocks

[north path]

What do you mean with interaction on the MR?
If it is the same app you can just switch off passthrough and enable a 3D world, with certain objects staying enabled

Both are just in 3D space, theyre not exclusive

[void glacier]

basically passing an object between players at the Mixed Reality.

[void glacier]

do you mean "object.SetActive"?

is this what you mean?

[north path]

That's an example yeah

Basically, what is the issue you're having when trying this?
It's all in the same scene, so there shouldn't be any issues with that

[somber delta]

I feel like theres such good devs but none of them have good ideas

[void glacier]

I want to know to if there is already a tool that does that

[north path]

Ouch😂 😂

[north path]

Yes, it's called Unity. Objects are persistent in a scene, so if you enable/disable passthrough/your world object, everything else stays

Give it a go, it's not a complex issue to tackle

[void glacier]

alright

[north path]

Start with just disabling the passthrough and see how that behaves. If you run into a wall, then ask for help

[glad temple]

We've started recently getting a weird bug. The screen blacks out but the game continues running the background. Seems to happen randomly and is more common in MP sessions, we managed to repro it a few times when establishing a MP session and disconnecting quickly. Today I haven’t managed to repro it yet, spent two days on this already :/ After the error occurs, we get the following error spam but the game doesn’t crash, just black screen (you can still hear SFX):

Screen position out of view frustum (screen pos 0.000000, 0.000000) (Camera rect 0 0 3664 1920)
UnityEngine.SendMouseEvents:DoSendMouseEvents(Int32)

Anyone seen something like this? Looking at issue tracker I can spot some reports related to this, but they’re related to Editor tooling, no Android builds

Unity 6000.0.58f1, Vulkan, Android (Meta Quest S3), packages:

"com.unity.render-pipelines.universal": "17.0.4"

We managed to repro it again, wtf >.> This time before connecting logcat and not doing anything in the game... and ofcourse we cannot repro it again

Okay we can somewhat semi consistently get this error on one of our S3 headsets, however it's a faulty one which has constant issues with GPU overheating. Other S3's (we have 4 in total) are fine (note that our players are also reporting this error).

[sly steppe]

Hello, I have just switched to unity 6000.1.8 and am having trouble running the apk on my headset. I have made multiple and every time I install and try to open it on my headset it gives me an error. Anyone that can help?

[north path]

Why did you switch to an old version? Go to 6.2 @sly steppe

If it happens then, check logcat for errors

[sly steppe]

when i installed unity 6 that was the latest version. I’m sorry i didn’t clarify. I went from older versions like unity 2021 and 2022 to unity 6

[north path]

And now 6.1.8 is old, so update to 6.2 to see if the bug has been fixed
Otherwise stay on 6.0 lts

[strong remnant]

Guys, I also need help please, I just received my bachelor's thesis for college and I need to make a shooter in VR, I've used unity before but never with VR, do you know any tutorials or anything helpful to get started? youtube/learn.unity or anything that might have helped you understand better and to have a starting point?

[glad temple]

Valem tutorials are good for quick and dirty setup. Go with OpenXR and Meta plugin (search for these keywords). Use XR interaction toolkit for grabbing and locomotion. I think the starter VR template Unity provides can give you some good examples. Also find out if its PCVR or Standalone. If its PCVR it should be a lot easier, if Standalone, you’ll need to disable pretty much every rendering feature and you’ll have to use URP and make Android builds

[north path]

Unity learn is good to get a proper understanding yeah

XRIT has good samples to get you set up quickly as well

For performance, feel free to use my base project: https://github.com/smitdylan2001/Unity-6-URP-XR-Base

[glad temple]

Oh, I watched this one, really good tips. Vouch for this tutorial as well 😄

[pine bison]

The demo scene for XRIT can get you quite far along the way https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/XR-Interaction-Toolkit-Examples

Demo here https://youtu.be/dCVAYB2jkEYA

If you're gonna work in multiplayer there's also a good starting point with this template https://discussions.unity.com/t/new-vr-multiplayer-template-available/1488824

[strong remnant]

thx thx a lot for helping

I should make some kind of shooter that's as realistic as possible

[fallow hatch]

HI! I am super new, sorry if this is a dumb question- almost done with my first VR set up. I'm being asked to : Still in Project Settings, click the Graphics panel on the left.
For the Scriptable Render Pipeline Settings property, use the object picker to select the URP-Balanced option.
If URP-Balanced is not an option (I only see URP high, medium and low) can I select MediumQuality in place of URP-balanced ? Chat GPT said I could but it seems to lie to me alot with Unity stuff. using unity 2020.3

[sly steppe]

Okay i updated to 6.2 but when trying to install it to my headset it says "Premature end of stream, needed 1 more bytes" which is a recurring issue, the issue is unrelated to headset storage though and im not sure what it is.

[north path]

Gotta give more logs

[north path]

Low is the safest best for standalone VR

But know that this setting will get overridden if a quality tier has a different URP asset

[sterile wyvern]

Hello everyone, does anyone know how to set up the integration of the Meta Quest 3S controllers on a Unity 3D URP project ? because I currently have the Meta all in one SDK but when I use the controllers (via the integrated building block) when I press B or Y I am supposed to display an interactive menu using a script and nothing happens 😭. thanks for the feedback :)

[vernal verge]

Hey guys 👋

Do you have any tips for creating VR environments? I am looking to create the type of environment that just acts as a infinitely large room to toy around in

Similar to how the environment in Substance Modeler VR, OpenBrush and these types of applications is

https://techarthub.com/unity-grid-shader/

I am thinking about combining this shader for the floors material with a hdri skybox to have some more interesting lighting. But I dont want a real environment to be visible. It should really be that neutral surrounding

Wasnt able to find guides on how people usually go about creating these

Or would you guys recommend using a procedural skybox material?

[strong remnant]

anyone know any link to explain in details how data transfer work from pc to oculus? step by step, what package have etc? i found that : https://developers.meta.com/horizon/blog/how-does-oculus-link-work-the-architecture-pipeline-and-aadt-explained/ but i want more details

[north path]

1. Update Unity and your XR Plugin management
2. You can add touch plus controllers in the OpenXR settings when using the OpenXR plugin
3. Do other controllers work? Could it be that the code is faulty?

[north path]

What kind of data?

Hello, I am a beginner in unity. I have a finished project (VR game) given to me , and i need to make it playable as a Desktop Game as well (keyboard/mouse). Do you have any suggestion or source i can follow for making a game playable for both platforms?

[north path]

If it uses the input system, remapping time for basic movement!

Other than that, it depends too much on the game itself

[austere cedar]

Simply remapping input may not be possible, but if it's suitable to do so you can look-around with the mouse while holding right button, and move the pointer while not holding the button. That would work for emulating VR with one hand. But it all depends on the game if it is ok to do.

[austere cedar]

What movements do you have in VR? Do you need looking around in non-VR?

[flint sedge]

Anyone know any discords that are specifically oriented around unity & android sdk for the Oculus Quest 3/2

[austere cedar]

There is the 'Meta Horizon Start' discord that you can apply to if you have started creating an app. The level is very high, not for beginners in coding.

[flint sedge]

Yeah I am doing a Research projects with robotics so I don't expect it to be for beginners. I'm new to Android and Oculus Development so I am trying to understand quickly what limits/blockers I have.

I'll have a look at the 'Meta Horizon Start' discord

[young rune]

Some quick blockers for Android dev. Android devices have fewer resources and cannot produce all of the fun graphics a normal Unity project can. For example, VFX graph will be off limits. Compiling to Android can be finnicky at best with lots of failure in Gradle or other compile time areas. Sideloading to your device is also finnicky. Lots of testing will be in order.

If you've never done VR development either, well that's also it's own can of worms. What UI do ou want? Is it comfortable? Did you do user testing on that?

My recommendation is you start with normal VR app via Oculus Link before you try to shoot for a mobile game.

[glossy edge]

I’ve got continuous walking and snap turning in VR (using the thumbsticks), plus grabbing/interacting with objects using the controllers. For the desktop version, yeah I’ll need normal mouse look to look around, and WASD for movement, with mouse/keyboard for interacting instead of VR controllers.

[regal hawk]

can someone help me im getting an error when publishing

[austere cedar]

On what platform, and what error?

[low ingot]

Is there any professional in unity that could help me with my project. Please DM

[buoyant jolt]

I dont dm strangers or do private one on one tech support. But if you post the error in here I'm sure someone can help.

[low ingot]

I have a few issues in my project currently and need a professional to show me or help me to fix it. Im willing to pay depending on the price

[buoyant jolt]

Ah fair enough, I'm not really sure where you can go for that kind of thing. Its a lot to learn, and its very sensitive to configuring properly - so I get it.

[low ingot]

Would you be available for this type of thing?

[buoyant jolt]

Sorry, no, but I appreciate asking

[sick trellis]

What are the few issues?

[glossy edge]

@buoyant jolt Hey lloyd, do you have any suggestion source for this issue of mine?

[upper axle]

If I may offer some answers... it will require quite a fundamental understanding of input controls, and grabbing logics of VR, and how it differs from the standard desktop set ups:

If you have access to the original Unity project (not just the built game), here’s a general direction to make it desktop-compatible:

1. Input System:
   The first step is to replace the VR input logic. If it uses the XR Interaction Toolkit or similar, you’ll need to remove or disable it and switch to Unity’s standard Input System or the legacy Input Manager for keyboard/mouse controls.

2. Interaction Logic:
   Most VR interactions (like grabbing or pressing buttons) depend on XR components. Once you remove XR, many scripts will break due to missing dependencies. You’ll need to rewrite or replace these with desktop equivalents, for example, replace hand-grabbing with raycast-based interactions (like a crosshair or cursor) since desktop players can’t move their hands in 3D space...

If your game uses more advanced interactions (not just "grab gun and press trigger button A") like the player holding a pistol on their right hand and having to use their left hand to flick the safety button on the pistol (which requires a dual hand interaction), then that whole logic of how to interact with objects will have to change as well.

3. UI & Camera Setup:
   VR UIs are often world-space and likely curved; for desktop, you’ll need to convert them to screen-space flat UIs and reposition elements for normal monitors. Also, replace the VR camera rig with a standard camera.

Ah, I realise you wanted to make it playable for both VR and Desktop in the same project?... I'm not sure (but there are answers online on detecting input methods on runtime)

[glossy edge]

@upper axle First of all, thank you for your detailed expalnation on how to convert VR Unity project to make it playable for Desktop!

[glossy edge]

Yes I need to use both controls and have the original unity project repository access. Also, I am totally free to choose the method to do that in my project.

I was thinking about making a start menu to let player choose whichever they want to play with, then i was thinking that maybe creating dublicated scenes with modifiated only for VR and Desktop (so interaction always be correct and the scenes wont have 2 different input interaction components)

To be honest I didn't find any source about this specific issue (using both vr and desktop mode) probably i am first

[upper axle]

I'm still a beginner, so I'm not too sure; but I overheard phasmophobia does it: https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/195127/unity-2020-3-15f2-choose-between-vr-and-desktop-at-launch

[glossy edge]

That's a very useful source!! Thank you so much, maybe I can make something with this. At least i know now it was possible to have both 🙂

[glossy edge]

@upper axle What do you think about this idea? 🙂

[upper axle]

sounds a bit worrying depending on how big the scenes are...

if it works it works

but generally not recommended I suppose... the toggling of input method is fine, but the use of duplicated scenes... technically it works I think.

[upper axle]

but yes, I think that (duplicate scenes) will be the faster way to do it for an already-built project, but the project will be hard to maintain later on...

By intuition, I'm assuming these design choices have to done early on in the project development; such as abstracting the interactions for game objects such that any input methods can interact with them the same way.

[glossy edge]

Funny story, this project is focusing on someone else's work and which is also continuation of someone else's work. Basicly this project doesn't have this design choices and the supervisor just gave features requested for next person's contribution to the project

But I agree that for the next person after me, or for me also, in future this duplicating idea will be troublesome. Better if i solve it without dublication

[upper axle]

scary

[buoyant jolt]

What we do, is we have a PlatformController that just enables the appropriate player stack. This way you can handle web, AR, VR, desktop and general mobile all in one.

We have a layer over Unitys XR Interaction stuff, as we needed something more abstract (so it could respond to an Xbox remote, clicking, VR input etc).

The main difference is how the camera is controlled and how input is happening.

Most of our projects just enable VR or Desktop. It sounds complicated but it isn't so bad once you get into it

We usually turn off VR enabling itself automatically and just try turning it on via script. If it fails, we default to desktop mode.

And yeah you can also enable and disable VR mode via command line for PC, and add it as options for launch in Steam VR.

[stone stratus]

Hey, is it possible to have some kind of vr simulator for testing on Linux?

I know https://github.com/ValveSoftware/openvr is for actual vr things, but for testing that's annoying

[tall island]

Hey everyone!
I’m diving into VR development with Unity and trying to move beyond tutorials into scripting custom interactions — especially combat mechanics like a sword that deals damage based on swing speed, with haptics and polish like you’d see in AAA games.

I’ve been exploring the XR Interaction Toolkit and docs, but I’m looking for advice on how to effectively learn and modify these scripts. For example:
• Do you usually subclass XRGrabInteractable or add extra MonoBehaviours?
• How do you approach digging into toolkit code without getting overwhelmed?
• Any recommended patterns for quickly prototyping interactions (like hit detection, cooldowns, haptics, etc.)?

I’ve already tried a basic VR sword script that applies damage on collisions, but I’d love feedback on how to improve my workflow and make mechanics feel polished.

Any tips, workflows, or sample resources you’ve found helpful would be super appreciated!

[buoyant jolt]

• Yes I often subclass, basic VR 101 is often ignored by the XR Interaction Toolkit. Just fading out between teleporting, which is a standard to avoid motion sickness but doesn't exist in it, needs you to now interject things. And if you want to build a cross platform game (I.e. VR and NonVR) you essentially need to rethink their entire toolkit. Some versions of the XRIT also made the mistake of not allowing you to override core functions, and you'd actually need to move the entire thing into your project to change permission on a single script to let you override. And some like their OpenXR Hands is a mess of unnecessarily nested things.
• I dont like their toolkit, so I dont really have advice on learning it. They substantially throw everything out every major update and it is years behind many of the other frameworks. But it is a good starting point.
• For quickly prototyping, I dont use the toolkit. I have my own scripts that just directly connect to controller position, rotation and input. And it sits in an abstraction layer so I can use the same scripts for controllers, hands, non VR, touch etc. I made it a quick template that we use for making things. I dont like to use the toolkit directly if it can be avoided - it also causes major version upgrades to be a nightmare

That said, it can work for a project. Its just not, for me anyway, the most efficient way to do things. It is a thousand times better than it was. It just is more or less best used as a loose concept.

Don't get me wrong, its very interesting to dive into tracking controllers, inputs, hands, and all of that and OpenXR is super cool. Its just the XRIT that to me is a bit of a convoluted mess at times that just undermines the purpose of the toolkit.

[vapid vortex]

Hey,
I'm having this problem: my application looks great in the editor and via Link, but as soon as I create a build, the built version becomes slightly blurry and has some flickering textures and lights. Does anyone know what could be causing this? My quality settings were set to ultra.

[crude frost]

This may be related to your lighting settings. And how many lights you are using. Is your project set to use Baked Lighting? Did it bake? Are your lights set to mixed or baked onlly?

[tall island]

First, thank you so much for putting effort into responding to me second do you mind if I ask you for one of the games that you built just to play test it and see how you built it and compare scripting between it and unity XR toolkit.

[buoyant jolt]

I can't im afraid, all our games have proprietary stuff

[tall island]

Totally understand! Do you happen to have any games on Steam I could check out, just to get a feel for the kind of work you’ve done?

[buoyant jolt]

Ah I gotcha, this was my fav one so far:
https://www.meta.com/experiences/muffin-fight/5375257132495819/

But for that one we were using the VRTK 🙂 (https://www.vrtk.io/)

[tall island]

Thank you

[ashen valley]

Rethink the entire toolkit? My approach was much simpler in XRITK 3.x (I haven't tried 4 yet). I detect the presense of the headset and if it's not there, disable all that and use a 3rd person character controller. All my UI had to be duplicated because I didn't have access to world space UI Toolkit yet.

[buoyant jolt]

It probably isn't a big issue if you don't have a lot of projects to manage.

I think we had ~30 that were originally built with XRITK 1.x, so updating each manually through the toolkit, then openxr, reconfiguring each scene, etc. The ones we had after that used our own thing, so no changes needed to upgrade from say 5.6 all the way to 6.2. It's not impossible work, but definitely not ideal. But, I will say, 3.x and 4.x were huge improvements. It's generally the upgrade path down the road isn't ideal when you need to update things if you have a lot of them.

Then, we have games that run on console, mobile, web, PC, and VR. And at that point, the XR interaction toolkit isn't as valuable.

And, don't get me wrong, we moved our business clients all over to Unreal earlier, and that's a whole other level of crazy 😄

[ashen valley]

oh...I know. 🙂

[narrow briar]

when recording gameplay on quest, the camera framing is very tight. How do you record gameplay that's not so cloaustrophobic? When I change the camera FOV it gets reset and cannot find a single script that does that, so it seems to be done by the oculus plugin itself.

[buoyant jolt]

I don't think you can override the built-in camera recording on the quest. If you are doing your own recording using a plugin or something, you could feed it another camera. But if I'm recording a trailer for example, I do that from my desktop wtih a second camera that has some smoothing - so it follows the main headset without the jitter, and you can change the display properties...

[narrow briar]

Do you record off the editor?
Even with a 4070 ti super, off editor, the framerate is not as smooth as inside the headset

[buoyant jolt]

I usually record it out in the editor, but I sometimes use my vive or index, which might be why? When I record from my Quest 3 I use the link cable and not wireless. A 4070 ti should be more than fine - thats more or less what I use

[narrow briar]

I'll try again, thanks.

i might need to unplug a few screens

[buoyant jolt]

I also do it from desktop/editor mode, because you can have a game-view UI overtop. This is more a SteamVR era thing, but it lets you run a separate camera with your own on-screen UI branding stuff

But like, to be able to put the watermarks on the non-VR "display" screen.

[narrow briar]

I see how this can be better than compositing in cases where the display must represent realtime data

and oh wow I'm so surprised that Unity recompiled the old 2020 just for that security alert!

[limber roost]

Is there a way to fix that I can't press buttons made with OnGUI whenever vr is on?

[vapid vortex]

I think its mixed. I don't have many lights. Just a sunlight and a point light. And a skybox.
Maybe the problem was also that the default quality was medium instead of ultra (but it still should have selected ultra...) idk I will test it again today

[north path]

Likely got the non XR input module on as well

[limber roost]

I don't really get what you mean

[north path]

When using XR input you need a graphic raycaster (or something similar) on the canvas and an XR event system for the UI input. I'd suggest to check the sample scenes and check those

Oh wait, with OnGUI. That's debug and editor windows, my bad

Mixed it up with ugui

Does it work again after you click the windows key? Then it might be an issue with the game view having the focus maybe

[wise forge]

anyone in here worked with visionos and videos. I get some weird crashes when using videos and addressables while loading and unloading them

[north path]

Using AVPro or Unity's own solution?

If it's a bigger project, definitely check out AVPro!

[glossy edge]

I am made some script like that, when you start the game you have a ui asking you which game mode will you continue to play with. After that there is another script called RigSpawner which takes the info of game mode chosen and spawns the correct rig to the scene.

This is my solution so far. Thank you for your comment on this!!

Also, the game mode data is saved in Bootstrap object, and i added in other scenes too. That helps the game keep spawning correct Rig to the other scenes!

[glossy edge]

Yes I am basicly checking if the VR is off or no as well!

Thank you @buoyant jolt & @upper axle for your support and time!! Really appreciated! Have a nice they all!

[wise forge]

Unitys own solution. Did not have the time to look into AVPro for this project.

[north path]

If possible, use AVPro with TLS video streaming (or packing and unpacking the asset if it's locally stored)

If you stick with the Unity player, good luck, post on the discussions for support, and please make bug reports so it can become usable😅 😂

[wise forge]

Yeh, no luck for the last couple of days 😄 But the price for AVPro Ultiimate, holy 😄

[north path]

Yepppp, that's why I said if it's a bigger project lol

Using Core myself, and for my projects it's worth it, but that depends per project of course

I've struggled a lot with a smaller project last year loading transparent video on Quest Ended up just making a green screen shader instead haha. Luckily my bug reports came through and now it should be possible

Haven't tried working with the vision Pro tho

[wise forge]

Lets say, the proejct is def. big enough, but the timespan is not that much anymore and out of a sudden, it started happening, that the video spazzes out, weird audio glitch is incoming (had that before already 1 year ago when load was too high or visiionos just bugging out :D) and the entire os restarts...

[unique matrix]

hi, looking into meta's guidelines for pushing an app into their store, and while I havent used VR applications myself too much, apparently VRC.Quest.Packaging.3 does not allow you to have access to bluetooth or camera access? Am I confused as to how permissions work, or would I be able to have unity take a screenshot for example without requesting camera access ? I just thought something like camera access would be often needed as a permission for an app to use, or is this not the case ?

[crude frost]

bluetooth shouldn't be a problem. camera access is a 'no no'. if a player wants to take a screenshot and capture their passthrough camera, they would use the native oculus screenshot tool

[gritty rain]

guys, can i just skip unity cve issue and just continue dev and build, my unity is 2022.3.24f1

[crude frost]

You could, but my guess would be unity services wouldn't work, and any official store would probably reject it. It may be against Unity Terms of Service though to use compromised unity versions outside of internal testing though.

[plucky kestrel]

On the Quest headsets, can you create a separate viewport specifically for spectators when you cast to a display?

Hi, i found a bug with XR toolkit, super easy to reproduce, and kinda silly in Unity 6000.0.59f2
If you open "properties" tab oa a gameobject with XRGrabIntefractable when you click play gives Missing Reference
Done this in the demo sample scene of toolkit

[buoyant jolt]

You need to learn the Unity basics first i think

This place is better for code issue => solution, not really one on one help

[north path]

Good find, report it in Help -> Report a bug

[junior torrent]

I did thanks!

[tall island]

Hey Lloyd, I hope you’re doing well.

I wanted to ask for some direction. When I was working on a first-person shooter, it was easy to figure out what scripts to edit — like blocking movement while climbing a ladder or controlling movement directions.

But in VR, it feels a lot more complicated. There are so many scripts — XRGrabInteractable, XRDirectInteractor, XRLocomotionProvider, etc. — and it gets overwhelming trying to figure out where to make changes or what’s controlling what.

I remember you mentioned once that you have your own VR scripts and that Unity’s XR Toolkit updates can cause issues. I was wondering if you could give me some guidance on how to approach this — like how to structure or organize things so I don’t get lost every time I add something like a ladder or elevator.

Also, I’d love to know how you personally go through documentation without getting overwhelmed. XR docs can get pretty dense, and I want to get better at pulling out the info that actually matters.

Any advice or workflow tips would really help. Thanks a lot, man.

I contacted my bank to make sure im not crazy and everything is normal
PLEASE if someone can shed some light I would appreciate it
I spent hours in the ridiculous meta/facebook pages rabbithole

Their SDK has the steering wheel tools: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/integration/logitech-gaming-sdk-6630

It doesn't really matter if your game is VR or not for that (except alignment, which you likely have to do manually)

Can somebody pretty please help me make a game? It’s called whispering apes

[void oyster]

i need help setting up the controllers cause i cant seem to get them to work, can someone help?

ive added the input action manager script to my xr origin and ive added a left and right hand object with the "controller input action manager" script attached to them, ive also used the presets on those scripts

i have no idea what else to try, the camera is working and can turn and stuff its just that when i move the controllers the cubes that i attached to them just stay in place at 0 0 0

[sly steppe]

Hey there luca i was having the same issues, turns out it’s not the setup you have. For me in the xr setup in your project settings, under where you have the checks to check oculus or the new one i forgot what it’s called but the one underneath that, you either need to check oculus and the one underneath it, or just the one underneath it. Sorry for very brief detail, i’m in the car and can’t see what everything is called. Hope this helps!

[cinder thorn]

hi, how big of a task would it be to make a little VRChat type VR game for me and a friend? in terms of features i obviously want it to have voice chat and avatar selection but also full body Blade and Sorcery/Boneworks type physics, soft body physics to deform and give elasticity to certain parts of avatar meshes, and whatever fluid sim shaders or scripts i want

[austere cedar]

My bet is thousands of hours with many different skills. Even if you buy assets to shorten the time.

[cinder thorn]

i should clarify those features i mentioned would pretty much be the only ones it would need

so for example no SDK or anything, avatars (only planning on having like 3 right now) will be added to the game like any other asset

[austere cedar]

How would you get "Boneworks type physics" and "deformation" in Unity? I haven't done it so I don't know, but it would be complicated to get it working with avatars you just add like any other asset? You also need controller hands interactions?

[cinder thorn]

woops i thought blade and sorcery just used unity's default physics and it turns out it doesn't, could the "active ragdoll" technique with the default physics work for a full body tracked player?

[austere cedar]

Now you need input from others, I know too little about it...

But if you want your game on a store and not just for 2 people, there are maybe a hundred hours in that too.

[cinder thorn]

yeah i don't plan to put it on a store any time soon

[wary birch]

Yes very doable. I’ve done it in Roblox before lol

[buoyant jolt]

You could get started on something super basic with low effort using just normcore. The phsycis etc and combat etc, you start getting into very expensive and time prohibitive work.

You could try whipping something up in meta horizons or something. But its a significant effort to do properly

[lunar trail]

Na it'd be more than thousands of hours you know

[austere cedar]

Yeah, multiplayer alone doubles the time maybe.

[cinder thorn]

it won't have combat or any type of damage mechanics

whole reason i'm considering making it is cause VRChat doesn't have the physics i want for what i like to do in that game

[buoyant jolt]

Honestly, if you start messing with the normcore vr demos, it'll probably get you going fairly quick. This wouldn't be the same amount of work for someone like me (because we are working on a big multiplayer game with this stuff in it). But its misleadingly complex, especially if you are new to unity.

Its hard for me to judge how long it would take you, but we've been working on ours for about a year (in conjunction with all our other projects). We are currently using pure nakama and now experimenting with nakama + fishnet (i like self hosting & not paying monthly fees). That said, ours is more serious (matchmaking, user content, lots of combat etc). And ive already redone the art style 3 times...

I would recommend just downloading any multiplayer VR sample and go from there. Normcore, photon, unitys multiplayer etc. It's worth it just for the experience imo. All three of these, iirc, have free tiers im sure you'd fit under with only a handful of friends. Photon is one of my favs, but normcore does have a quick start for multiplayer (but becomes a pain on the butt later)

I want to express that I think its awesome you want to learn it, and aren't loving the off the shelf options. I love creativity and exploration - im going to strongly encourage you exploring it. But, set expectations. Most people learn unity. Game design. Art, animation, music etc. Then learn VR. Then learn multiplayer. So jumping right into the deep end could get overwhelming if you aren't careful.

[cinder thorn]

anything subscription based is off the table for me, not sure about session time limits

[buoyant jolt]

No worries, All three of these, iirc, have free tiers im sure you'd fit under with only a handful of friends.

[cinder thorn]

cool, do they all use their own dedicated servers? i'd prefer peer to peer if the performance is still good

[tall island]

No worries at all! Thanks for clarifying — I totally get it, life gets busy. You can answer whenever you can, I really appreciate you taking the time!

[cinder thorn]

just started my project with the VR multiplayer template, how do i set up relay?

[untold grail]

Hey, out of curiousity, does anyone have a link to a tutorial or resource for setting up custom hands for hand-tracking in VR? I have tried out a few different rigged hand models and I can't seem to get it working. I'm guessing it's some kind of hierarchy issue, but I'm not sure where to find the info so I can correct it

[wise forge]

You need to have the same hierarchy the default hands are using and of course have them bound correctly to the bones in that hierarchy. Also a quick description what your result was after trying out other hands would be good to know.

[untold grail]

How would I change the hierarchy within unity? I rigged the hands in Blender, but according to the internet, when you export from Blender it adds an extra bone. I remember changing the hierarchy on a humanoid model so I could reference correctly, but I'm having trouble finding it under the generic animator

[wise forge]

I am not sure, if you can remove that extra bone easily or just have a blender export option to not do so

[untold grail]

Just realized the hand I was using was uh... well, it wasn't anything like this haha. (This is the default that came with Unity XR, mine was a more traditional connected bone rig)

Gonna see if I can try using these bones on an alternate hand model, fingers crossed

[untold grail]

----Fix Found!----

Took me way longer than I'd like to admit.

But basically, you have to import the object, unpack prefab (NOT unpack completely), reorder it so the hierarchy matches the original. (Basically, just getting rid of the empty "armature" object. Here, you can see a comparison between the original (not working) and the new version (working)

I also did not modify the mesh or skin in any way, those just don't appear in the scene hiararchy

Also, trying to replace or reconnect prefab did not work for me (just reverts to the original)

Idk if it's the best fix in the world, but hopefully it helps if anyone else has a similar issue

[void oyster]

can someone still help me with this? i cant seem to figure it out 😭

[wary birch]

Use a tracked pose driver

[short nova]

There are also some custom FBX exporters for Blender that we have found to remove this Armature bone during export so you don't have to fuss with it on the Unity side. The 2 we have used are Better FBX: https://superhivemarket.com/products/better-fbx-importer--exporter, which comes at a small license fee, but another option is this open source exporter: https://github.com/A-Ribeiro/CustomBlenderFBXExporter.

[short nova]

Have you compared your solution against the Starter Assets sample in the XR Interaction Toolkit? This has a fully configured rig you can use directly, or use as a reference if you are going through some tutorials.

[untold grail]

Thanks, I'll have to check that out! I actually tried the Ribeiro exporter, but for some reason didn't work for me.

[storm sparrow]

In Unity VR, when I grab any object and move it, the object in my hand starts to jitter. The object has the following components: Box Collider, Rigidbody, XR Grab Interactable, and XR Hand Poser. I'm using the XR Interaction Toolkit Starter Kit asset. How can I fix this jittering issue?

Hi, Did you solve this problem?

[untold grail]

Do you have video footage + screenshots of your inspector? It might help us know better what is going on

I vaguely remember something about kinematic objects possibly affecting grab, but it's been a while

[vernal verge]

#💻┃unity-talk message

Maybe in here someone encountered this issue before

Its only the editors preview windows (scene + game) that are affected

[untold grail]

Hey folks, absolutely at my wit's end with this recent Unity XR bug I've been experiencing.

My Unity works fine in editor, but lately, it absolutely refuses to build to my headset in VR mode. Instead, it keeps building as though it were a mobile phone. I have tried starting brand new projects from scratch, and using every setting to optimize for VR, but nothing seems to be working.

I also tried installing some legacy XR packages, as well as installing the XR core legacies, XR legacy input helpers, and Oculus XR, but nothing, same issue.

The most baffling part is, is that I tried building some of my other XR projects, and those worked. I even tried looking at my player settings side-by-side, but I can genuinely not tell what I've done wrong or differently.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

(bad MS paint drawing of what I see whenever I build)

[pine bison]

Sounds like you might have something missing in the android manifest. Try comparing the final manifest that you find in the build folder under Library

[untold grail]

Forgive my ignorance, but how would I do that? I see a BuildPlayerData folder, is that the correct one? I see on efolder that says "Editor", and one that says "Player", with one JSON in the former, and one in the latter.

Would I be comparing the TypeDb files? Again, I'm sorry I'm unfamiliar with this, just never had this problem before

[pine bison]

If you search for “unity built android manifest” I think you should find it. It’s something weird like Library/Bee/BuildCache/…

And it’s a file called AndroidManifest.xml you’re looking for

[untold grail]

Hey, so I think I found the path: \Library\Bee\Android\Prj\IL2CPP\Gradle\unityLibrary\src\main

Some of my settings definitely seem a bit strange though. What should I be comparing them to?

[realized I jsut added the wrong file text, whoops]

I can share my other XML file as well, just not sure if that's allowed. They are vastly different though

Checked another file where it actually built to my headset, and yeah, something is definitely weird. It seems like somehow all my custom settings are getting overwritten, and replaced with some kind of default android settings. I have no idea why though, I've never even built for a phone before.

[pine bison]

The file will contain a bunch of things that are generated on build, that’s expected. The important thing for quest it that there should be a field saying that the app is VR.

<category android:name="com.oculus.intent.category.VR" />

https://developers.meta.com/horizon/documentation/native/android/mobile-native-manifest/

[untold grail]

One of my files has it, the other one doesn't. My theory is the issue might have something to do with plastic / version control overwriting something, as I never had an issue with my builds before installing it (didn't want to use it, came with files for a game jam)

I've tried to remove it multiple times, but it keeps reinstalling itself, even in all my singleplayer projects files that never touched the cloud. I'm going to attempt to do a clean install of unity, I think, but feeling pretty discouraged right now. Thank you for trying to help, though.

(And if this clean install doesn't work, I don't know what I'm going to do lol)

[amber mountain]

Having issues since updating to the latest Unity 6 and render graph where the same project built for PSVR2 is running worse than one build for Quest 3 even when sharing the exact same render settings and such. Anyone have any experience in this area or recommendations of thing to look into?

[untold grail]

Update: Clean install seems to have fixed the issue. Still not 100% sure what the issue was, but I am able to build now without a problem.

[north path]

Usually there are some new settings which you need to disable.
Here are some tips:
https://youtu.be/Vlmy0JJ_E3c

Otherwise share your XR and URP settings

[amber mountain]

All those settings are as expected, the project settings appears to match yours directly. Specifically the problem is a PSVR2 build with those same settings performing so much worse than quest. Profiling suggests its rendering twice the amount even with the correct view and no depth etc. Appreciate the response and will continue diving into this.

[north path]

Havent worked with PSVR, but if you need help diving deeper shoot me a message.

[fresh lintel]

Hello, I dont understand why the camera and camera strap are moving laggy. I use the samples XR Origin and as a child Body Inventory that has only this script

using UnityEngine;

namespace IRM.Utility
{
    internal sealed class FollowBody : MonoBehaviour
    {
        private Transform _transform;
        private Transform _cameraTransform;

        private void Awake() =>
            _transform = transform;

        private void Start()
        {
            var mainCamera = Camera.main;
            
            if (mainCamera != null)
               _cameraTransform = mainCamera.transform; 
        }

        private void LateUpdate()
        {
            var position = _transform.position;
            var cameraPosition = _cameraTransform.position;
            
            _transform.position = new Vector3(cameraPosition.x, position.y, cameraPosition.z);
            
            var cameraEulerAngles = _cameraTransform.eulerAngles;
            _transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, cameraEulerAngles.y, 0f);
        }
    }
}```

[frank oasis]

Hi, please can you show the children attached to the Camera Offset gameobject under the XR Origin? I’m concerned you have two cameras in your scene. If there are two, which camera are you using?

[fresh lintel]

only this one has the mainCamera tag

[frank oasis]

Ah cool. I believe inputs occur before Update() does in the event call order. Have you tried using Update() instead of fixed update out of curiosity?

also any idea what frames you’re running at?

[fresh lintel]

yep, but still the same

[fresh lintel]

40-50

[frank oasis]

oh right. Yeah that probably isn’t enough frames to update it perfectly via setting the position each frame. Try making it a child of the XR rig and let unity handle following you?

I.e don’t use a script to set position

[fresh lintel]

it is alreadty a child of the xr rig, but it wont follow it

[lone knoll]

Can't see any controllers or rays.
Can someone gudie me on how to fix this as I could see the controllers and rays to interact with my ui and environment

works fine in meta quest build

[weak goblet]

does any one know if there are issues with unity 6.x and meta sdk core when using quest link in editor? I've been using native OpenXR for a while now and want to just check meta's latest package but it seems to break meta link functionality in editor? I think it has something to due with meta xr feature group, it goes back for a bit as if its going to load on headset but then just shows as desktop panel in link

[buoyant jolt]

Damn, im beyond impressed. Well done.

[nova onyx]

Hey everyone! I'm a solo dev that just released VAULTLINE RUSH, a VR Physics-Based Fullbody Parkour Game in which you complete Trials and unlock new ones.
It features an advanced automantle/vault system that is a step above anything else on the market currently.
I figured out a way to determine hand pressure on surfaces, paired that with a couple more checks and the result was zero jank physical climbing.
I'm curious what you guys will think of it!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8e4BDOZCoQ
VAULTLINE RUSH just released on the Meta Quest Store a couple of days ago and today I pushed an update which improves it even more.
https://www.meta.com/experiences/vaultline-rush/24345876715113049/
Cheers!

[narrow briar]

Amazing! your repo was my goto. 6000.0.x only because 6.2+ work out of the box ?

[narrow briar]

Fantastic! Coming from you it means a lot!

It's my final game.

[lone knoll]

it does builds with 6.2 , but there are too many visual anomalies rendering it essentially unusable

[narrow briar]

spacewarp doesn't work out of the box in 6.2?

[lone knoll]

no

[narrow briar]

Unity is wild

[short nova]

Basically, yes, it should work out of the box to hit build and deploy to a couple of headsets or even test using Multiplayer Play Mode. Depending on if you walked through the tutorials, the biggest thing to make sure is that your Unity Cloud services are connected and set up. For example, you'll have to at least open and click in the Vivox window to get it to register with the service and turn on voice chat, but just check your project is cloud-enabled/connected when you created it or the hosting/joining stuff will not work.

[short nova]

I reached out to the team internally to see if they are aware of what's going on here. I'm not a part of the team that handles spacewarp, but I don't think it should be this way at all. If it's noticeably worse in 6.2 than 6.0, feel free to grab some screen captures of the stuff you are seeing and file a bug. I can help make sure it gets into the right hands on our end.

[dry hollow]

yo im looking for somone to make a game whit me for now i wanan just to make a map but the idea is cool its a vr game (like gorilla tag) so if u wnat dm me

[cinder thorn]

i want it to run on every headset VRChat supports (except stand alone Quest for now) so what platforms should i select in the build settings?

[lone knoll]

All of the forks are been maintained by a single guy from the oculus team over the past year ( the repo is not officially maintained by Unity ) , the latest is a fork of 6000.0 , what I have attempted to do , is force import that version of URP to the 6.2 version of the editor - the fact that its broken isn't surprising since the fork is of an older version . ( URP 17.0.4 vs URP 17.3.0 )
The repo is simply missing a newer implementation.
In the past I have manually implemented motion-vectors to a clean fork of the URP graphics repository , In case anyone is willing to attempt and do the same for Unity6.2 , here is more or less everything you need to change : link : all necessary changes are visible on that page . Just keep in mind that particular commit was aimed for urp16 , and you would have to manually config it to match urp17.3 , probably would be a good idea to browse the latest 6000.0 commit for reference as well.

[lone knoll]

@short nova Quick question about Unity's official appSW support - any ideas if this should be used with a custom RP or the default one already supports motion vectors ?

[north path]

URP in 6.2+ should support it I believe
Maybe it was 6.3?

Don't have time to look though the change logs, but the fork shouldn't be necessary anymore unless you're making different optimizations

Sorry if you already know reading the message again. Wasn't sure about the exact question

[lone knoll]

huh that might explain the visual anomalies , tried with 6.2 the other time , but from what i remember the performance was way worse then if u would use the oculus plugin . should probably give it a another shot with proper benchmarking to compare the two

[north path]

Take a look at the Quest specific settings, like 2 channel spacewarp texture and optimize buffer discards

That could help a lot

[buoyant jolt]

I cant speak for everyone else, but typically ill do two build platforms

The first is an OpenXR build for PC (supports vive, index, and all those desktop headsets) - thats the one you toss in steam. Its most likely the only thing you want (from your post).

Then I build using android with openxr for all the mobike headsets I want to support. I do have a template the team can use with instructions & a universal android manifest for all headsets we support - but we switch some of the smaller XR plugin settings between headsets. So it'll get different APKs for Quest, Pico, Focus etc.

But we are behind the curve now, and still assessing if 6.x is stable enough for all the platforms we support. Its reduced priority as we moved all our industrial stuff & console stuff to Unreal (licensing & vendor support).

[cinder thorn]

OpenXR isn't listed in the screenshot i sent

do i need to install something for that?

Atomic Shrimp and Valem's VR tutorials on Youtube are a great way to get started. I went from knowing basically nothing about VR to having a job working in VR within about a year or two thanks to those two.

Thank you!

530am Supernatural session. Good to move a little after sitting all day yesterday.

Thinking about latency in boxing games. It matters how responsive the trigger of the glove/target hit is, the sound effect, and the particle system. It's a feel thing.

[cinder thorn]

in the architecture dropdown in build settings there's only intel 64 and 32 bit available, is that a problem? will it not run on AMD systems?

[hard void]

nah its just 32 bit and 64 bit x86. No idea why unity used "intel" in these option names 💩

(AMD are who first made 64 bit extensions initially for x86 anyway so its not even accurate)

[cinder thorn]

and the platform should be windows, mac, linux to support all the steamvr supported headsets right?

[hard void]

Im only sure of Windows and Linux support myself (for steam vr)

[cinder thorn]

i'll just assume yes, so to turn it into an exe for someone else to test with me do i select build and run or just build?

[cinder thorn]

got the exe, anyone wanna test it out so i know the multiplayer works?

shot in the dark - has anyone had any luck running Horizon's desktop creator software under a VM on a mac?

or alternatively anyone with experience running any kind of 3D creation software on a cloud host?

3dsmax, unity's editor..etc

[weak goblet]

if anyone has this issue, it could be due to conflict with vive xr runtime even if you have set meta link as default. https://discussions.unity.com/t/vr-not-launching-in-my-quest-3-since-unity-meta-xr-all-in-one-sdk-v74-update/1639431/12

anyone who can help pls

I am working on a VR open world MMORPG, and I am modeling trees and other props, would y'all say that 7k tris per tree is optimized?

VR tends to be finicky when it comes to performance

This is the tree

Doesn't look too bad when I un-subdivide, I might just run with this

Struggling to prewarm shaders for Quest 3 and headsets in general. I assumed it was because the SVC's I was creating were missing stereo keywords. But that does not seem to have helped. Anyone have any advice on how they have approached this in the past?

[fickle kettle]

Sup guys,

This is a random questiona nd I am not sure where to ask it truth be told. I am a 5 year personal VR dev (dabbled in multiple projects) but never shipped anything. I am looking to get my hands dirty on the side to for some income. Where can I find VR job postings while I work on my main project?

[buoyant jolt]

You just gotta apply and look at job boards i imagine.

But industry wide is tough still right now, with a lot of uncertainty (politics, cost, game sales, AI, etc). So itll be quite hard without shipped titles, I think anyway.

[cinder thorn]

anyone?

If you are using the simulator to try and grab, then it won't grab. The simulator updates the hand poses to visualize what the hands are doing, but the pose data is not being piped in to do what you are wanting. It's a pain that the interactivity is not integrated yet, but support for this is currently in progress by my team. We wanted to drive thoes inputs in a way that used the actual XRHandDevice poses, but the XR Hands package didn't have the API to inject the data yet, so we had a couple of problems to solve in the other package first before making the simulator work. We'll be making a post about it once that officially ships. We're hoping to release the preview version of this soon, but the Hand updates need to land first.

[buoyant jolt]

Personally, I don't like to install .exe's from people - but you can set it up so that your players instantiate with or without VR for spot testing... That way you can run two builds see if the basic multiplayer is working. For day-to-day, I have a VR laptop and VR PC, which is super helpful when I want to test out multiplayer.

[cinder thorn]

i mean i'm gonna need to get someone to test it with me eventually so is there a safer way to go about it? they can always run it through a virus scanner if they don't trust it

of course i can get friends to test it but they're rarely available

[buoyant jolt]

No worries, I dont think there is an easy way, and I def agree youll need/want someone to play test with you. Finding folks is always a bit tough

Also, exciting you got your first build going
