CATS seems to be broken on newer versions!
Here is a patched one i made for blender 3.5!
github.com/PxINKY/cats-blender-plugin
I'd highly recommend a tutorial on how to actually reattach the tail mesh to the body, allowing for a full uv map of the body and new tail itself.
Blender suddenly looks less intimidating, nice tutorial
Just gotta say, i LOVE that you don't put any music in your tutorials. I know its a small thing and may seem insignificant, but I like listening to my own choice of music whenever I'm doing blender/unity/avatar work. and i dislike how it clashes with music in other tutorials XD
Literally the exact reason why! I also listen to music when doing anything. So having to turn it off to watch tutorialls makes me go read the docs instead
Awesome tutorial! Suggestion, instead of zooming the entire screen it may be less disorienting to enlarge only the thing your focusing on instead of zooming in the entire window. I personally got a little dizzy. It would be slightly more work in editing but it may be helpful for people sensitive to those types of things.
I'll look into this! apologies, I'm still very new to editing
@@PxINKY Not a problem, your videos are really coming a long way in a short time, I will be reviewing more of them. I like your style! Its just a suggestion, I hope it helps.
Quick though on how to do it depending on your editing program. You can just overlay a copy of your recording and crop it. Then expand it by scaling with the anchor point located on the side of the cropped frame. Depending on your setup, should work in Premier or most other editing software!
Pumkin tools don't work. Attempt to import it throws error "CS0117: 'Helpers' does not contain a definition for 'DestroyMissingScriptsInGameObject'" and no "Pumkin" option appears in the tab above.
Edit: I got the latest version of that tool (v1.4.4 by now) and it loaded into my Unity project as a package, also is visible in the file tree of the project, but the option in tab above still doesn't appear like on a video. *Instead, I found it "Tools" tab.* Problem solved.
ty so much for the tutorial im new to blend and lil bit of vrchat and im very greatful that u have this to many other to guiding me and teaching me new thing i never new
Ty so much I never use blender before so this really helped me ❤
I'm happy I could help kickstart your adventure! I wish you all the best luck within blender ^^
Nice video!
keep it up ^^
thank you!
Thank you. You made it so easy!
happy i could!
💜 Thank you
Super helpful tutorial. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
at 4:54 i tried joining it but my tail goes at the origin ( between the feet) and then goes back to it's original size, is there any way to fix this
Lol i just did that with a rex the other day on blender i spent 17 hours on it. because i decided to merge the mesh and combine it. did weight painting and stuff.
yeah, i literally did that while recording and was like wtf. had to cut it out and restart
over all took me 2 hours to record this entire tutorial :skull:
PxINKY you are fucking awesome
Thank you 🥰
awesome tutorial thank you
Thanks so much
thanks for your help ^-^
Huge help, just a little stuck cause rather than the avatar being broken its totally fine except the tail is the only thing not textured. Not sure if I did something wrong though. 😅
just drag a mat onto the tail
@@PxINKY How would you make these materials? I'm in the same situation as OP
I also do notice that the files in the gumroad one include a test png texture that would help
@@kosm4086 yes, this and then you could just drag the material onto the tail.
If you are having issues after this please feep free to reach out to me on discord and id be happy to help you 1 on 1
Hey this is an old video, but I was wondering how well this method could apply when applying addons to the Runa Base? Ive been trying to add the Cricket Legs to it and replace the legs, but I found out I had to go thru blender and merge them manually if i wanted them to be quest compatible. Been pretty confused with how to make it work properly so any tips would be appreciated :3
Will this also work with the WickerBeast and other avatars in blender? Cause I've always just added tails to my own avatar edits in unity but I want to create my own OC. Also... Can you use the same method to add 3 of the same tail onto the avatar?
You will need to put in more effort and probably need to learn more about sculpting and meshes.
If you head to the wickerbeast discord (jin a) i may be able to help ya
@@PxINKY Awesome! I kinda wanna do this with the Wicker and for the Rex. Don't own the Nardo unfortunately....
I hope to be free tomorrow after work cause I really wanna learn blender more! :D
Doing this with the rezillo rex and fluffytail. everything was perfect up until i got to the pumkin tool, once it tries to copy it says no dynamic bones found and my inspector is completely empty
is you vrc sdk or pumpkins outdated?
@@PxINKY i got it working in the end, the version of the rex i was using was using some super old funky settings so i redid it on the latest version and its perfect now
@@RakaAvali Awesome to hear!
hmmm.... i use it fpt pyher avatar, all is fine, but when i want to join it the option didnt appear, the first option that appear is ''copy objets'' (using blender 2.90, and i have cats installed)
PD: Nevermind i only use the ctrl+J and work
i like my tails, bone in
Im grtting some weird texture problems once adding the new tail. It just like wraps the old taiks texture around the body lol
ok but like everything worked but for some reason the avatar doesnt have a skinned mesh anymore? probably something i did but idk what
When placing the nardo back into unity it all works perfect but somehow my eye texture is inverted and im not sure how to fix that.
Just place your materials back on
It works great, but I added clothing to the avatar which has armature in the tail and it makes the tail stiff, not grabbable etc. anyways to fix it?
Yup, add the extra bones to the ignore transforms list under the physbone component (in unity)
I don't know exactly where I went wrong but I attempted to do this with the regulus. When I exported it back to unity it is just face down on the floor. Maybe I missed something in the video?
Sounds like you parented something in the wrong order, make sure to pay attenetion to the selection color and order in which i click. If you join stuff in the wrong order itll cause bugs
Hi so i downloaded the pumpkin and added to my project but the tab doesn’t pop up?
did you ever find a solution to this?
They may have moved it under "tools"
check around the menus a little!
ultimately (for me) it turned out the version of pumkin linked was an older version. once i downloaded the newest version it appeared like shown in the video @@PxINKY
I still dont fully understand. I'm trying to use this same method for my animal ears. they're fully rigged. and I want to attach them to my head bone. I cannot use cats to merge them as when I do, if I move into pose mode they arent attached.
I can ctrl click both the ears and my body and join them. and when I move to the bones, the body armature is unselectable if I select the ear bone I need. so those dont work either.
I've tried another tutorial that implies I need to weight the base of the ears to the head (internally) but the ears have a hole inside so that doesnt seem to work either.
I'm getting increasingly frustrated and nobody seems to have a solution. I just want to learn the program but all the knowledge available either doesn't apply or is gatekept for some reason when I ask
dont use cats to attach the ears, follow the steps like in this video but replace the tail with ears
I did everything in the video but when I export it to unity the nardo just goes complete jello(just wiggles around like crazy) mode, any fix for this?
sounds like a physbone may be improperly placed somewhere
I don't know if u still respond to the coments, because the video is already quite old, but I might as well try. Everything went well until I used the pumpkintool. The moment I copy the data from one to the other charcter, my SDK's upoad button turns gray and I'm unable to upload it. When I try to fix the basic errors by pressing the 'auto fix' button, there is one thing I cannot fix and that is the 'face smesh', I don't know if other people have this problem too
drop by my server, i will help you debug your issues ^-^
Hi, in case I don’t want the tail be attached in the body as one because I want to make a toggle to turn off what’s the steps I should do?
You can still make it a toggle while being attached by using a shapekey to change it
But if you dont want to do that, try selecting it, going into edit mode, and pressing L on the tail, then press right click and hit "Separate" "separate by selection"
Idk if you can help me with my case, i made some extra fur to an avatar and I want to "glue" them in the tip ears and bones to make it a separate asset, then in unity import only the extra fur, i dunno if i explained myself :(
I'm really new in blender, when i use the pose mode on blender, the extra fur doesn't move while the ear does
Drop by my server and toss me a dm
@@PxINKY yay, thanks!!, now i have to wait due to discord thinking i'm a bot xD
I managed to connect the tail correctly, all seems to work, however the uv and mapping arrangements for the fur have changed drastically, textures dont seem to fit at all. not even the texture that come with the tail,
any suggestions?
Did you edit the materials or delete them? that could be an issue that causes UV's to merge
@@PxINKY sorry for late response
I didnt do anything in that regard. I followed the tutorial 1 to 1. And it broke the uv
Wasnt to bad of a fix tho. I just moved everything back into the correct places. Thanks for the help!!
when you had this problem was it the fluff and tail textures combining into the body texture? cuase if so im having that problem and need some help@@mongaloidd476
Can you make a tutorial on how to make your own Nardo body textures?
Like a substance painter tutorial? Sure!
Yeah, like to paint your own stuff onto the body
@@simplyabanana12 sure! I wouldnt mind going over the basics
also, where’s the fbx file of the nardo i bought? should i just use the normal blender model with the textures
I followed the tutorial until the end but then arrived at Pumkin’s Avatar Tools was difficult to continue, The tool did not work, even installing new versions, I do not appear, I do not know how to do and my avatar has really too many details and bones to redo qwq
Are you using the most up to day version of unity? (2022.3.22)
@@PxINKY yes 2022.3.22f1
And did you grab the newest versions of pumpkins? (Id recomend using vcc installer for it)
I tried this after the export to unity the original avatar project is gone, i cant copy using pumkin cus the original gone
sooooo yeah, what do we do about pumpkin helper when using unity 2022, since it seems to not work for it
Pumpkins for 2022 uses VCC now, so youll need to add it to your creator companion!
I don't want to change out the tail but haven't found a good video on how to make mine wag. So you go over that part?
sorry for the late response, thanks for the idea! ill make a tutorial on this soon ^-^
lol. fk that. just gonna keep the stock one.
This gave me a good laugh
Can i also switch between the tails or do i completly remove the old tail? :o
yeah you can, if you want i can show you how
So I did what the video told me to, but whenever I uploaded the fbx all the scripts aren’t working , and I don’t know how to fix it, and whenever I uploaded the avatar to VR chat, it makes it look like a zombie because of the Scripts being broke do you know how I could fix that by chance? :)
What avatar? could it be its using out dated scripts?
And check that everything copied correctly! You can do so by checking your avatar and the old one side by side
having a bit of trouble joining the two armatures, when I do my tail disappears entirely :( does anyone know a fix for this?
This could be due to 2 things
Either you need to apply transforms + armature modifier prior to merging
Or
You are selecting them in the wrong order (order of selection is VERY important in blender)
Looks painful O.o
how do i move it cause im trying to put it on the place where the tail root is but its above its head right now
Select the armature in object mode and press G to grab it, then move your mouse
if you want to only move it along 1 axis, then press X / Y / Z while you are grabbing it
youre a wizard but one problem i ran into the animator is completely empty
and the tail doesnt move
@@hoodeez the animator should be empty at the end. Assuming you did everything right
Do you still have your "tailroot" bone in your rig?
I found the FBX
I drag to unity
head to blender, import it, and do several editing with tail, done
Export it to exact file folder as the where the FBX are, click import
Go ahead to the unity,.....wait,.....nothing happend, why?
you have to click export, not import
if you want to go from blender -> unity
you need to export the FBX back into unity
@@PxINKY So, before i start the editing, in blender with anything blank, i export the file to blender? then when im done, i export it again to unity? Sorry if my question a little bit dumb, cause im really2 new >
Pumkin isn't showing up after importing T^T Is it not compatible with the 2022 version of Unity?
Edit: I downloaded the 1.4.1 and that seems to work. Though It's not copying over my avatar descriptor...hm
it 100% is, id recomend using the VCC version of it
@@PxINKY I'm still confused as to why my model isn't set to humanoid anymore.. T^T
Because you exported and overwrote your avatar
@@PxINKY That doesn't really tell me how it happened or how to fix it. I followed your tutorials exactly :(
@@PxINKY I think I managed to fix it? I went into the rig in Unity where it SAID it was humanoid, but had been imported with errors. I changed it to "generic" and back to "humanoid", hit apply, and that seemed to fix the model. When I dragged the model back into the scene, so far there have been no more errors. I'll keep you posted jic
Mine just goes upside-down and hangs like a bat and I followed it to the letter (it's a rex rather then a nardo)
You also forgot to show how make a new rig for the avatar (which is why it will not work)
what do you mean a new rig? if you followed the video i clearly show it working without a "new rig"
When I go on playmode my avatars arms don't go down did I mess it up?
do you have multiple avatars in your scene? did you properly transfer all the components?
@@PxINKY no only got the one and yeah I followed your video to a T
@@georgiaobrien4267 interesting, feel free to stop by my Discord, id be happy to help
@@PxINKY thank you what’s your discord?
how do i color the tail now tho? xD
drag a material onto it
Dying to know what's in the folder labeled "Gay"? 😉🏳🌈
What timestamp does this show up. I actually dont know lmao
An update, turns out this is just a shit ton of fbx's that i mislabed and are / or broken
