If you check "Spawn material orbs" it automatically puts them in the world for you to just copy&paste the textures in, you can even check "Import external textures" and it may already put the textures in without needing to do anything
I wish Resonite had an easier way to do this, like VRC does (using unity for example) where you can also import own shader and all that. Neo's avatar setup made my brain "brrr" already and resonite is using the same method :C Tho nice tutorial in general, good job!
Yea would be nice if both methods were an option. I'm personally more of a fan of working in Unity or an engine like unity and then deploying the package to the game. Having it in the game is interesting though. I notice more people in Resonite tinker with assets and scripting instead of sitting infront of mirrors lile VR chat, sometimes feels more active in groups and like theres something to actually do in game xD
How much easier do you need? Your litterally just putting a headset and hands on the avatar and click create. Its so much easier and faster then VRC. No need to compile go into the game check stuff go back out reupload, switch avatars to see new change.. Its all real time.
@@troyBORG Easier like... NOT doing this all in headset where texts are less readable when small, controls are more inconvenient and less accurate and rather working on it on the monitor.
@@troyBORG this is nowhere near as easy as vrc. this is super tedious and annoying to do. I'm surprised we can't use unity to make the avatar, save a package that can be imported into resonite already setup. that would be the best solution really
Yea idk what happened with the quality, I had to change a bunch of stuff, think my obs settings got destroyed in an update and I didn't think to check >.
You can do it in desktop mode as well. As far as exporting, you can technically get the FBX back out of Resonite, though it won't keep any of the data really attached to it. Most systems in game are programmed using their custom scripting language so it wouldn't work anywhere else.
Hope i can get some help here, tried this great tutorial but im moving from vrchat. Is there any tutorials or ways to give avatars toggles? I have alot of clothing toggles and want have till now only had one outfit.
I tried Resonite recently, and the world building possibilities are amazing, but seeing how to upload an avatar is... really really off-putting. This is just so many steps with a confusing UI. Really great tutorial, I believe i understand it, but I think I'm gonna wait on Resonite until they add a different way to upload avatars. I just cant sit in vr for that long to upload an avatar. Im already very used to unity and blender.
The UI and render engine (for performance) is activly being worked on. I dont know how much they can improve certian parts, its just a byproduct of the shere volume of settings revealed to the user. Potentially a tool that can guide you through the import proccess would be good
Yea. You can configure them and save them in a folder which can be passed around, or directly linked with a resoniterec:: link. You can also put them in worlds you create and publish for others to copy or equip
Hey thank you for the tutorial, but i have a problem, like in your video, i can see my own hair on my "screen" like from my point of view, and it's kinda annoying , do you have any idea to fix that ? ^^"
There's a few methods, the easiest is probably the near clip component to make things close to your face invisible. There's also more technical things. Deffinetally check out the discord, there's a ton of good info in there: discord.gg/resonite
That's a great way of describing it. Spent my first day in Resonite last night just geeking out over the littlest things. Found a frying pan that can send me flying off a map. This is already 10X more fun than VRCHAT
I had tried to make an fbx of a character base i had and import it, but a lot of parts were seemingly missing from it, even though I know I had them enabled on the model. They show up in the higherarcy, but I can't see them. Is there any way to fix this?
Theres a bunch of things it could be. Your normals might be flipped. By default everything had backside culling so you wont be able to see it until that's fixed. Could be a weight paint issue. If things are not attatched to the armature correctly through both the properties setting, the armature modifier, and it being painted to a bone, it could fly off somewhere or be locked at the world origin.
hi was looking to get in to the game but wanted to ask if its posible to make the model in game too instead of using the programs people use for vrchat
Theres a way but I forget. Easiest way is to spawn another copy of it and jump into that one or jump into a completely diff one. There should be a couple random avatars in the resonite essentials folder
@@ZeyrPixel It turned out the dialog popped up underneath the other dialog. I hadn't realised until I gave up and closed the first dialog, to discover hundreds of dialogs waiting for me there. Ironically I had a lot more luck importing the PMX version, even though it's not a supported format. I still don't have a working avatar because of skeleton issues, but it's the only import which rendered more or less correctly on the first go. To get a working avatar I will wait until my v2 model is done, I think. The amount of work in Blender required to bring the v1 model in was too much for me.
I am honestly gonna try this. I would very much like to learn protoflux and all the stuff needed to make animations and items. It seems so cool, can't be to different from learning other software... (yes i know, im going to be wrong)
Things that don't bend with the avatar (shirts, pants ect) can be placed in the armature under the bone they should be attatched to. So like a hat you can place it under the headbone and its movement will be locked to the headbone
@@diveninenewton blendshapes can be controlled with Protoflux. Users have created custom gesture systems that can control them like VRChat can. If you'd like to learn how to set them up, I'd recommend asking a Mentor in-game to assist you
Theres a component in "common avatar systems" called "near clipping," I believe. You can add it to your avatar, and it will remove the stuff thats close to your head
Hmm. There might be an issue with your fbx file possibly? There is a discord that Resonite runs that you could probably ask or post screenshots. It might be a bug that they are unaware or aware of. You can find their discord here discord.gg/resonite
The community for this game is stellar, the dev's actively participate and push fixes for known issues that get reported. They can also help troubleshoot the issue to see if maybe it's the file your trying to import.
im able to import the model do all the steps but once i do the part where im supposed to jump in and make sure the model moves correctly only my right arm works and then my whole ass model goes flying like my model lays sideways xD idek how to fix this bc i set the anchors and did everything step by step like in this video but it still bugs out. idk what to do.
@@aluradeathwing4667 Not sure then. I would join their discord and ask in there if you've not already. I know many people who use that model and don't have issues.
I feel I glossed over that part actually heh. So depending on the controller you have its the secondary button. So on Index its that long thumb pad. I think on quest it's the inner trigger button thats on the handle. I don't remember what it is on the vive wands if you have those
If you're willing, you can use the vrm plugin for blender to import the vrm, then save the blender file and you can import that, but you'll likely still have to manually apply the textures so i would make sure to unpack those using blender so they're easy to access
@@klementineQt Right. Yeah I have my original Blender files, and previously exported FBX's and the textures... So I was sure that I could make it work. Indeed I was hoping to just import the VRM without ... essentially doing quite a lot of re-work for each character. The re-rigging and retexture steps were a worry. Ease of importing characters was my #1 concern and this might not be a great fit for what I had in mind. Thank you for the reply. 👍
A bit late, but also since vrm is based on glb, you can simply change the file extension to .glb and drop it straight in (also works for blender and other programs that support glb/gltf)
@@ZeyrPixel Thanks that's a really good point and I ... I kind of got the impression Resonite was using some propriatary rigging of their own, and it just wouldn't work. I havn't tried this. But for people who have invested a lot into their vrm/glb model and want to try Resonite, this is great to hear!
Basically any vrchat avatar that you can get the fbx for will work. Check out www.vrcarena.com/ which has a repository/directory of most the models and accessories
@SkyfireTailspin yea so if you download an avatar, best to put its fbx and texture files in a folder on your desktop. Once its all in game you can move that folder elsewhere. But yea, makes it easier to have the model (fbx file) and textures all in a single folder somewhere that isn't like a unity project
You can also, during FBX import, click advanced settings and find an option called "Force T-Pose" which might fix it, otherwise you'll have to fix it in blender
It can be confusing heh. Theres allot and I kinda shoved 40 minutes of instruction into 10 minutes. On the Resonite discord however and in game there are always people around willing to help you ingame :)
@@Jet_Set_Go thats true, you can spawn a video player in game and watch in real time xD In the default home world there is a video player that you can copy paste youtube links into!
When a complete guide on avatar importing is only 10 minutes long, you know what amazing engine had been built.
If only the actual application resembled what's shown in the video. Then it would be possible to use it as a tutorial.

Is there any difference to this process if were to import an avatar from Vroid Studio?

Might be a noob question but does the FBX file you bring in need to rigged already?

There are freely available models already setup in the game. But at this time, there's no real "modeling" tool similar to Blender.
Unfortunately whenever I need to select the head for the inspector window there is no cube or head to be selected to open it for. :(
Weird. What avatar/model? You may need to select another part and go up in the heirarchy until you find that part of the rig/skeleton
How do you uniquip the avatar for life of me couldn't figure it out
Theres a way but I forget. Easiest way is to spawn another copy of it and jump into that one or jump into a completely diff one. There should be a couple random avatars in the resonite essentials folder
When I click on the FBX, it doesn't bring up any menu at all. So I guess this tutorial is already wrong. Where is the right one?
