Hi there! Do you have any knowledge as to why a particle system would show up bright and perfect in a world mirror but not on the VrChat camera?
You are under-rated !!
i love you.
Omg you're a lifesaver!! Thank you so much!
I'm having troubles with resizing a particle, I managed to change the size of the particle however when I change the Avatar Height in-game the particle stays the same size is there any way to counteract this? And have it adjust the size to the same as my Avatar?
Make sure the particle scaling mode is set to hierarchy! If it's not, scaling its parent object (in this case, your avatar) will not cause the particle to scale. Hope this helps.
I will start doing blendshape~ What about how to edit those face blendshape that are clipping? How can we edit? I have edit the face blendshape on unity and when test in MMD world the eyes closed but have clipping I don’t know exactly how to edit for correct that (I’m using booth avatar) I hope you can answer please and thank you 🙏
It is possible that the clipping is happening because the MMD world triggers multiple blendshapes at one time. To fix this, make sure that when you have multiple blendshapes active, they look good together in blender. Hope this helps!
@@chimericcurios I didn’t know is a blender thing 😅 It’s time to open blender (I’m still new) thank your for reply🙏
How many trackers should i buy?
Simple tutorial but helped me a ton!
thanks for the video :), but when I am draging texture normal map to the view and selected normal option to view, its not being visible as yours :(
Sorry, not quite sure I understand your question; could you elaborate?
I am using an avatar with a prefab expression list and parameters list, how could I combine these 2?
this is great, thanks!
"It's me from the future"That got me smiling, I love it! Thanks for this useful tut:D
ty
Thank you so much for explaining this clearly and quickly! )
you really saved my life haha
Glad I could help!
if you put particles on quest, the textures won't have transparency as far as i know, but a lot of quest avatars have transparent textures for particles. How do they do it ?
You can fake transparency using Additive or Multiply mobile particle shaders. For Additive, anything black will be invisible (fully transparent). For Multiply, anything white will be invisible. In general I recommend Additive. Kenny.nl has a great particle alpha pack for free that you can use as textures with Additive. Hope this helps, I can elaborate further if you still have questions.
@@chimericcurios that's true, only on the unity scene though. When i try out my avatar on quest, the particles don't have textures and just display giant transparent colored squares. I'll try again but i don't think it'll work
@@mifaro2255 Have you tested this in multiple VRChat worlds? Could you try with a transparent texture instead of a linear (black and white) one? When using transparent texture, make sure "Alpha as transparency" is checked in import settings in the inspector.
@@chimericcurios ok so, since i posted my reply, there was an update on vrchat quest, and all of a sudden, all of the particles started working again. A friend of mine even showed me how his avatar had added effects. Prior to this, i talked about the transparent textures not working on the vrchat discord, and someone told me that particles were broken on quest since years and that the developpers seemingly weren't gonna fix them. It seems like that was fixed recently. And i could finally do the things i planned for my avatar.
@@mifaro2255 Glad to hear!
i wonder if we're gonna have support for virtual desktop since it support quest hand tracking now
omg this is exactly what I needed! ty sm :))
Glad it helped!
thank u chiimera i appreciate u
Or you can do it in a non destructive way with a shader settinga
Rule #1: Never tell a 3d artist how to 3d artist!
This is definitely an option for PC players, but for quest players not so much! Also Photoshop isn't destructive if you convert to a smart layer first :P
Thank you so much for this great tutorial 💕 Can you make a video tutorial the same but using substance painter please? Also a tutorial to get the ID map to the items doesn’t have for the easy recolor please, please , please o̴̶̷᷄ ·̫ o̴̶̷̥᷅ I try to get id map manually but is really hard…is there an addon for make that would be the best 😭
Glad you found this helpful! I may make a Substance version of this at some point! Not sure about utilizing ID maps, I don't generally use them, but I'll do some research.
@@chimericcurios well in that case would be awesome you could make a tutorial without the ID map but recolor in substance please 🙏 As example a hair or clothes with different a color for reference, I try to make but when exporting the look of the part I paint is put from the original 😅😔
Great tutorial, it is well done and easy to follow. Thank you!
Can you paint in more detail like wrinkles somehow?
Yes, it requires some foundational knowledge in substance, but a general overview of the steps would be: 1. Make a new layer that has an active Height channel 2. Paint onto the mask of the layer using wrinkle alphas 3. Add a filter to the layer that converts height to normal map
@@chimericcurios paint layer or fill layer? Also what screen does the filter have to be to show up while painting?
@@womball Fill layer, but you will add a black mask and be painting on it. I'm not sure what you mean by your second question.
Your tutorials are great! Thanks for being efficient! I have watched less organized 20minute tutorials that dont really cover what they should for being 20 minutes.. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Will do!
So umm, considering the quest hand tracking seemingly can't be used in PCVR anyway, what steps in this process are out of date? I just got a quest 3 and would love to have finger tracking in VRC when using PCVR.
Also looking for an answer for that
*promo sm* 🙈
Mines not working. All mine says when I try to get the drivers is driver not found. I know I extracted and unzipped the file as well.
i followed instructions and it looks like a low polly horrible mess XD
all fun, but sadly it doesnt also implement being able to move, sadly the movement functions are SOLEY quest 2 standalone. (Pinch thumb n middle finger then drag to move when using hand tracking on vrc quest 2 non pcvr.) Ngl i didnt finish all the way through, got it all working but if you dont use your controllers you cant move around sadly. I only have one controller and was hoping this could let me play and still enjoy sadly i cannot as it doesnt give you the ability to use virtual joystick like quest 2 standalone does on vrc with hand tracking.
Does this work with kinect?
Ok so, im trying to get my particals to show up in mirrors but im havng trouble trying to figure that out
This is not possible for quest, but for PC you can choose what shows in in mirrors in your Material/Shader settings. In Poiyomi toon, for example, there is a setting to control what shows up in mirrors.
how can i make it so ther wont be only onectracker for my legs?
ty for this tutorial, pretty cool
Glad you found it helpful!
what shader can we use to make a particle quest compatible?
Additive, Multiply, or Alpha Blended under VRChat > Mobile > Particles
@@chimericcurios that doesn't show on quest though
@@EliasCoptere It depends on what your particle texture looks like. Additive generally works best when the shape you want to show up is white and the part you want to be transparent is black. I'm happy to help troubleshoot in my discord server!
I am getting Black and Grey diffuse maps in the Bake output with no colour and my generated normal maps are just solid blue. Do you know where I might be going wrong? Avatar is a Vroid VRM 1.0 import and looks great in Blender
Hi, you might want to try converting your VRM to an FBX before you import it. Sometimes VRMs can cause issues. Alternatively, CATs has a very helpful Discord server where they might be able to help with baking questions! (Link expires in one week) discord.gg/jNqQZA2U
Shader is locked in unity after export. Any suggestions? Thank you
The shader in prefab the Asset browser will stay locked, but once you drag your hair mesh into the scene, you can drag any material onto it. Create a material with your desired shader and add your hair texture into it. Then drag it onto the mesh and it should work. Hope this helps!
@@chimericcurios thank you!
Your video doesn't cover the shaders for both Quest and PC platforms.
Hi, the shader I used in the video is PC and quest compatible. All of the particles on my store are cross compatible, but for info on your own particles please see this article: creators.vrchat.com/platforms/android/quest-content-limitations/
@@chimericcurios I want to have an avatar that has a snow toggle. Yes I know how toggles work, I know how to set a particle emitter in the sky and point it down etc. The problem I have is that when I make a snow sprite png, the black cutout of my snow flakes shows. How do I hide this on the quest platform so it won't show the black (unused space)?
@@zerosaber2242 Try changing shader to additive, should fix this problem for quest. Info on blend modes for why this works: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blend_modes
Please tell me how you moved everything with that giany circle, i'm new to blender and Idk how to do thattt
Hi, could you be more specific? (EX time stamp)
@@chimericcurios I got it figured out, when you move the mouth at 4:45 my circle was too big and it was moving the whole face, turns out I had to use scrool wheel to make it smaller :) Thank you so much for this tutorial, it was very helpful!
@@ccagogurt4028 Glad you got it figured out! Let me know if you have any other questions.
i dont know how to get the discord for the owo track
As a new avatar creator, this explains everything, everything makes sense now! Very informative video! Thanks for sharing!
I'm glad you found it helpful!
Idk if i'll be answered but is this video quest compatible im trying to make particles for quest and i've seen it before, just don't know how too.
Yes it is
every time I download owotrack from discord, I cant find the overlay, because the download becomes a note
ik this vid is a year old and this will probably be ignored but what if you made a gesture toggle for particles and want to be able to disable and enable that gesture via the action menu? i.e. lightning shooting from your hand by using the "open hand" gesture but want to be able to disable the particles from activating every time you open your hand via a menu toggle
You can do this, you would just need multiple parameters. For example, set the transition condition to occur only if gesture weight = (whatever gesture you want) and if you have it turned on in your action menu. Hope this helps!
@@chimericcurios so i just need 2 parameters and 1 layer with 2 conditions? OR 2 layers; one for menu toggle, one for gesture toggle, and 2 parameters?
@@chimericcurios nvm i figured it out thank you!
Since making this video, I've learned that you get better bakes if you triangulate your mesh first. Edit mode, select all, then Face > Triangulate faces. (Or use the Triangulate modifier in the modifiers tab). Happy baking! EDIT: Just realized the end of this video is randomly blank- so sorry about that! Normally I'd revise and reupload since it's a production quality issue, but since it doesn't impact the tutorial at all I'm just going to leave it. Thanks for understanding!
Would it still work with the Slime VR server download?
I've recently learned how to make particles from scratch and am somewhat getting the hang of it. But, for some reason they won't show up in mirrors or the camera. Is there some setting I'm missing for this? I do know shaders can be a factor, but this happens on every shader I've tried. Including the default particle shaders.
Are you on PC or quest?
@@chimericcurios PC
@@ZetaBetaTheAlpha Is your particle triggered by a gesture or animation?
@@chimericcurios Animation in this case. Specifically on an emote.
Just wanted to say you're one of the best tutorial makers I've come across for vrc related stuff, huuuuge help. Thank you for sharing the knowledge!
Thank you for your support! Happy to help anytime!
So I have made avatars with particals before but my most recent avatar with particals has a weird thing the particals work in VRchat on quest and PC but the partials only show up in the mirror does anyone know how to fix this issue
Not sure if particles work in mirrors on quest. Regarding PC, they should work by default. If they aren't working, it's likely a problem with the shader- either a blend mode that is acting up or a setting in the shader (Poiyomi toon has this) disabling them in mirrors. Hope this helps!
How do you do this with the slimevr server app that's on the discord you linked there's no longer owotrack linked there
Is this free
