also as this isnt specified in the video before you upload the avatar make sure to delete your duplicate model, dont worry everything transfers over to the current one
Thank you, thank you very much. No long explanations that take your time away, not losing the time by repeating what you just did. Just step by step showing how to. Straight to the point, easy to follow. This is a great resource for people unable to eatch 30 minute long videos.
Everytime I get stuck, a Sipp's tutorial saves the day, to the point, clear and concise, really appreciate it! Between you and Player_Bush001, VRC has become my Oyster, Created my first world, and now well on the way with my own Rex.
for anyone who is having the issue of your recording stopping when you select your prop check if your prop has an animator component on it, after I removed the animator component on it I was able to select it during the recording without the recording getting cancelled
this was very easy to understand, coming from someone with no experience! I had to remove some parameters first because of the avatar base I am using had filled the parameter data, but it was very easy to remove some of the unneeded parameters and set up new ones.
i've been learning much with your videos since i'm new to avatar making, i'm happy that my penguin can be a engineer with turrets! at the start it was quite hard to follow along quickly but i managed to get through just fine, this video was the fun trip to learn!
This helped me figure out why my eyes would stop blinking when I did a toggle for eyes closed. I used the example you gave and used an idle state instead of going straight into having eyes on.
I want to add a note to this if you already have gesture animations mapped to the hand holding the prop, add an avatar mask to the prop for the hand it's in so it doesn't break the other animations!
no matter how many times i do toggles i can never figure it out alone, but this yt vid is a savior thank you for making this vid i hope ur yt receives a lot of growth in the near future.
Thank you. Invaluable information! I forgot the first steps on how to get there, once I was in the expression menu and fx windows, it was smooth sailing. Cheers!
One of the best tutorials I have found. It moves quick and wastes no time and has all the information needed. The pause button is your friend. My Little Sister avatar now has her needle!
this video saved my life , i do 3d furry commission for 2 years and i still didn't learn about outfit toggles in vrchat until i see your video , thank you so much
Your tutorials are very good. I've been struggling with how to use unity and many of the tutorial videos I've come across on other channels are incomplete, or just not easy to follow. Thank you so much!
5 minutes that took 45min to follow. very information compacted, which is good. I had to guess a few times where to click, but it worked out. Also, I had to go into rig config and exit out without changing anything in order to fix the avatar from constantly crouching. And I'm quite confused why you make a copy of the avatar. But all in all, very nice, and made me able to do what I wanted :) EDIT: After struggling with this for several hours, I saw you need to uncheck Loop Time in the animation properties
IIRC The avatar can get stuck in a different position when messing with the animator. Making a duplicate lets you use animator without the worry of the original avatar breaking.
Many thanks! Was able to make a prop for my WoL! Quick, concise, and most of all simple enough for a complete beginner to VRchat rigging to follow! -Only oddity is that trying to add a second prop wouldn't allow me to parent it to the bone, saying it needed to be unpacked or something.- I was an idiot, I was dragging under rather than on the bone.
No begs the question why it worked in a different way for someone else but for me it didn't. This video showed me that my brain is in fact capable of making Toggles 😆 thank you so fucking much. This is what i call a tutorial - no big yapping just straight to the point yet still with some helpful tips☺️👍🏼
I lost sleep trying to figure out how to put a gun that came with an avatar I bought onto her and this looks way easier than what the other tutorials were trying to get me to do.
Love this tutorial! Super helpful for sure! But if I may ask; other than having it as a backup, what's the reason for duplicating the model? Sorry if that's a dumb question, but I was just wanting to understand better. Thanky you so so so much!
Holy fuck, idk what i'm doing wrong, i've rewatch this tutorial 10 times trying to figure out what i missed, this is so frustrating. nothing wrong with the tutorial, easy to follow steps.
Glad I found your channel. Your tutorials are straight to the point and easy to follow :) Makes avatar creation a whole lot less intimidating. Keep up the good work!
4:39 Hi I need help on this part heh, so I've done everything right for the past few steps and when i try to go find my parameter it isnt there. Is there a way to fix this? i already tried restarting Unity
Quick question: I noticed that after you finished making the on/off animations and moved onto layers and parameters, the copy of your avatar is gone on the left side of the screen. do I need to delete the copy of mine or is it fine if it stays?
It should be fine if it stays, but you won't need it after you're done using your "test avatar". The duplicate is solely there so you don't accidentally break your avatar while making animations.
If you wanna do the first method of toggling props can you do that with multiple toggles in the same layer or do you need a new layer every time you wanna add a new prop toggle
Holy F*ck. They actually did it. With this, you can make "dynamic" avatars (in the sense that you can switch clothes, and probably even haircut). VRChat hasn't changed much in appearance, but what's under the hood really improved with Physbones, toggles and IK 2.0! EDIT : So, I was wondering. In order to change clothes, do they need to be set as accessories? I saw a tutorial on RUclips that required merging two armatures, it sounded long and annoying so I'm looking for another method ^^'. For now I'll just make my character half-naked and set the clothes as accessories, like the hats in this example.
A bit late but I have a question! Your tutorials are great and I love them. However in both this tutorial and the one where you can change facial expressions, you make 2 entirely different FX. How do I make one FX so I can have both? I haven't been able to find a solution for this.
I am at minute: 2:33 when it has to put ON OFF the object with the nodes. I do the same as you do with the animation but when I go to set the Condition of the nodes it tells me: Parameters does no exist in Controller with the parameter OFF. what should I do?
I know it's been 2 weeks already but just wanted to answer; you don't need two animations per hat, just a single one. That is, if you have more than one hat to choose from, as shown in the video (he showed three different hats). If you only have a single hat, you can just get away with setting it up the same way as the prop, and in that way you DO use two animations, one for the prop on, and another for the prop off.
I’m assuming you aren’t making separate parameters for each of the hat models? I’m assuming each hat model is all within a singular parameter and not each having their own respective parameters?
@@hazzy5714 (Completely random idea, I'll test it out in a second) I assume it would work somewhat like having a 2nd model of it, and having it where you want it on your back. Have it off of course, and have the one in your hand on. Turn on Record then turn off the one in the hand then turn on the one on the back, I'm not sure about the transition stuff though. I assume it would be the same. (As I said, a complete guess) I hope this helps!
When i upload the "finished" duplicated avatar, it puts it into the bicycle pose. I though that maybe i'd uploaded the wrong avatar so i uploaded the original which fixed the stance issue, but now the toggles dont work for the prop. Anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of the bicycle pose on the duplicated avatar?
Please make a tutorial that shows how to upload a non humanoid (generic) rig and how to make animations like walking and other expressions ❤️ Would highly appreciate it
I'm having some trouble with making the integer work properly. The toggles work and turn on the outfits, but it doesn't change the outfits when selecting a different one and it doesn't turn off when I deselect it. I've done it before with my mamagen, but it's not working with my rabbit. I'm getting confused and frustrated. Can you please help?
hey bro. great tutorial and my halo infinite MA40 AR will be looking good on my spartan. now i gotta redo that 6 more times for different weapons! thank you :)
I followed 100% on the dot and did everything correctly however the toggle doesnt appear. In game, i see the toggle name and i can press it and it shows that its enabled and disabled, however the prop itself does not appear
(EDIT I FIXED IT) Yeah I'm having the same problem... [pt2] I went into the original model (after deleting the duplicate) and re-checked the box to disable the prop in the inspector!!
also as this isnt specified in the video before you upload the avatar make sure to delete your duplicate model, dont worry everything transfers over to the current one
Delete the Duplicate as in the old one or the new one?
What’s the point of having a duplicate model
animating on a main model causes irreversible damage and has you stuck in the bind pose
but even if you make a duplicate model, use it and then delete it, the oringal model goes into the bind pose
@@IreneLysium your doing something wrong then
Thank you, thank you very much.

I've been coming back to this video for ages for reminders. Never thought to comment.
Thank you for a clear and quick tutorial!
THIS VIDEO IS A LIFE SAVER!! I have been trying to put toggles on my avatars with help from friends but I just could NOT until I found your video.
Everytime I get stuck, a Sipp's tutorial saves the day, to the point, clear and concise, really appreciate it!
Between you and Player_Bush001, VRC has become my Oyster, Created my first world, and now well on the way with my own Rex.
THANK YOU!! I have broken avatars completely and had breakdowns because I could NOT figure out in simpler terms how to do this. Life. Saver,.
for anyone who is having the issue of your recording stopping when you select your prop check if your prop has an animator component on it, after I removed the animator component on it I was able to select it during the recording without the recording getting cancelled
Was having the same issue, thanks for this.
@@sngr- your welcome man glad I could help
still having this issue.. no animator component on the prop either

This helped me figure out why my eyes would stop blinking when I did a toggle for eyes closed. I used the example you gave and used an idle state instead of going straight into having eyes on.
The parameter doesn't appear in the list when I try to put it in the new control in the expression menu
I want to add a note to this

how do i add a avatar mask to the prop
Thank you man, every other vid I would find were absurdly long and still somehow unclear. You did it quick without skipping over any steps.
TYSM! I had recently take a break from unity and vrchat, and forgot how to do this, so this is very helpful.
no matter how many times i do toggles i can never figure it out alone, but this yt vid is a savior
thank you for making this vid i hope ur yt receives a lot of growth in the near future.
Just wanted to say thank you for this video. It was a bit of a breakthrough moment for me and has helped so many things make more sense to me now! :)
dude i never understood how to do this and so many people have tried to show me but omg this video is a life saver
Thank you. Invaluable information! I forgot the first steps on how to get there, once I was in the expression menu and fx windows, it was smooth sailing. Cheers!
This is amazing. This explains it perfectly. You get straight to the point and no extra things. Again, this is amazing.

34 seconds in and i already got more from you then most videos ive watched
Thank you so much!
I'm new to VRChat content creating and this is definitively a lifesaver.
You definitively earn a sub and like.

The parameter doesn't appear when I try to put it in the new control in the expression menu
You are an actual champion for making this video!
Oh man, you make it look so easy and simple. Still nervous but excited to try it now!

Thanks so much for this tutorial! I managed to install an arm cannon on my Avatar😁. Now I need to learn how to add firing animation

at 2:19, off-camera, you delete the duplicate and re-enable the original, so all instructions from that point are operating on the original, yeah?
