![How to Upload a VRChat Avatar [PC & QUEST]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/HIfuleXdqng/mqdefault.jpg)
damn! first try and i got it right! thanks for this, really. i didn't think i would've gotten this right on my first try.
thanks for keeping this tutorial simple for a small brain like me
hey just saying thanks for all these videos i spent my money on a model and wanted to know how to add it to vrchat and just learnt weight painting and blender thanks to you thanks from england
litterly the first 54 seconds helped something ive been trying to do for 1 month thank you so much
This is very detailed and easy to follow. Thank you for this I've been trying to upload roblox avatars to quest but I just didn't know how.
Thanks a lot for this video I just got into avatar creation but all my avatars kept getting uploaded to PC only so this helps a lot
thank you so much for this, i couldnt find any other tutorials that worked, but this worked like a charm!
You do such good tutorials, thanks for all the helpful information.
Thank you!
Thank you for mentioning putting it in a new scene!
The "Publish for android" button was greyed out on my project, and I spent quite a while bashing my head against a wall trying to figure out what was wrong. As soon as I moved the quest version to a separate scene, however, it let me upload it. (I previously had the PC and Quest versions in the same scene, but the SDK gave me absolutely no information on why it wouldn't let me upload the Quest version.)
It's still greyed out for me
Same
I tried this, and it worked! thank you for this solution, im pretty sure that was what was keeping me from uploading (either that or i just forgot to attach the id haha)
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I have been looking for one for a long time.
You're very welcome!
still a very helpful video, was running into the issue of build and publish being greyed out, making a new scene and all that jazz fixed it.
your about to hit 10k:0
Amber! I’m finally doing it! *massive hugs*
Watching this video in your “Home Sweet Home” game! Coincidence!
Those are amazing tips thank you
Thank you so much! This helped me a lot!
tysm! this helped me a bunch!
What if i want to use sounds with the avatar?
Hey! Love the tutorials!! was wondering if you could give a tip on specifically how to add stocking to the model without the leg clipping through the cloting.
Hope you're having a good day, night, and/or afternoon!!
Do you have any suggestions on what i should do to lower the MBs so i can publish to quest?
hii! great video i’ve been searching for a video for the longest time and you have been the most descriptive and helpful. But i recently became a quest 2 user and i want to get avatars off of gum road because it seems like the best place other than avatar worlds to get avatars. here’s my thing though, i have no idea how to get the avatar onto vrchat, and there’s no videos on youtube that explain that unless i’m blind lol. can you please make a video on it or explain it to me here? again, great video!!
thx for the vid hun
Hey Amber, I got a quick question.. After going through the tutorial, if afterwards I want to make updates to the avatar or change a material, edit a tattoo or something later on.. How would you go about doing that? Would you have to go back to the beginning and repeat the process, uploading the normal avatar with the updated Materials/or edits.. then reupload the quest version? Thanks^
Yes. Just make sure the corresponding scene is loaded before switching from windows to android or your Unity may bug out :) So if you're switching to pc, load the pc scene and remove the quest scene, then switch using file>build settings. And vice versa.
hi hi! where can i find the satin mat cap? is there a download for it or should it be there already?
thanks for the video amber!! what dimensions do you recommend for the quest textures?
1k textures are the best for optimization but you may be able to get away with 2K if you don't have many materials and your avatar file isn't too big. Good luck!
I need help with this! I tried to upload a version of my Quest avatar but when I click 'Publish for Android', all I get is 'FileNotFoundException' for no reason, even without broken scripts or disabled future proof checkmark.
Unity version 2019.4.29f1
THANK U LADY WOHOO
Thanks so much! this really helped!
You're welcome!
Perfect tutorial! Thank you for this!
Glad it was helpful!
HELP, How do i fix my shaders? No matter how much i try to change them to a different shader its still not fixing it! :(
thank you
whenever i try to reimport the fbx after fixing the vertex colors, the object is weirdly broken or invisible i've tried a bunch of things but nothing seems to fix this
how are you making it more then 1 or 2 materials people have said it will not work and when i tried it my avatar showed up all gray
How do you save a scene as a quest scene
the avatar I purchased and ported into unity uploaded to VRChat using the android build. But I did get a blueprint error before it said everything was successful. Then when I go to quest 2 VRC and go to the avatars tab, there is a second where a section called "created" shows but then it disappears and my avatar is nowhere to be found. I'm guessing it didn't work.
Sorry for commenting on such an old video but would you happen to know why my avatar uploaded for quest has two avatars spawned? One moves like normal and then there’s a duplicate tposing…
What’s a good size to lower pc textures for quest I’m having trouble uploading an avatar because the size exceededs 10MB it’s just barely over its currently 14.85MB...
I'd select 1K textures in your unity file. When you click on your texture it'll bring up the max size it allows you to render at, and if you select 1K or lower it should help a lot :)
what app are you using in the video?
Is there anyway to get visual effects on my avatars to Quest. Like lightning or something. Not sure how to do it
what body and head do you use for your avatars?
Hi! I have a question. At 2:47 you change all of your Mats' shaders to Quest Shaders, but when I do it the models shaders dont change at all. I can't replace the Skinned Mesh Renderer Materials. Any clue on how to change it?
Just got it! Open Skinned Mesh Renderer and open Materials. Assign the duplicates!
when i go in builder it says i have no avatar or scene descripter and it happened after i deleted the main scene
so Even when you ask someone to make one, Do you still have to do this??
What i'm confused is that you can port it over but your avatar has over 60k polys so it will be blocked by quest by default.
@1:43 how do you save a scene as a quest scene? Nnew to unity
I am completely new to this. Just download the correct version of unity but it could download visual studio community 2019. I am currently trying to download it a different way, idk if it will help. If anyone has any advice how to get it to download please reply!
My eyelashes and eyebrows are broken, just a full block of blackness around the eyes. How do I fix this
does doing this upload it for quest and pc? so both platforms can see it?
Uh does this work for vroid? I didnt make an avatar thru blender
how do I make it smaller so I can upload it? because it says it needs to be 10 MB when it is 13 right now
This is a super good tutorial!
But I got a really irritating problem. When I get to the last step to build and publish for android in the SDK window, it keeps telling me im using a certain shader. I've gone back and forth selecting, unselecting, saving, reselecting, saving the matcap shader and trying to upload again but it keeps saying im using the other shader. Anyone got a fix or advice?
Check that the material of your avatar and all the props it uses has its shaders changed. For me, it was the shader of my knife which I use as an emote that had standard shaders
Every time i try to upload the avatar it keeps saying prefab id not found what do i do
amber what app are u using?
i was on the final step of actually importing the model into VRC, when it sad the the lightmapped shader i was using wasnt available for quest. I used this shader for the whole model and its the only one that works, or else everything is black. please i need to fix this, this took me ages D:
Hello,
I configured my Avatar on Unity for the Quest 2 but when I use it in game my Avatar always stretches his arms forward. Any ideas why it does this to me?
Thanks!
same
Hurts- Whenever i build into android, The entire SDK just don't wanna work
I can install the Android Build. Unity says its constantly running something else.
mine crashed at the android switch part. can anyone tell me what the issue possibly is?
still saying shader still not supported
whenever I add put in the same id the model disappears
I still got ptsd from taking hours to find that one mfing material thats not standard lite or toon lit.
Cause i use models from vrc mods and discords im in and aparently no one has time for a lil bit of order in the package
I agree, I'm a stickler for file organization, my brain is a mess so my files can't be like that too haha
Will it also have PC support?
the shaders make my character look very difrent then its suposed to
Yes unfortunately the quest shaders are exremely limited and don't have nearly as many options as the PC shaders do. It's an unfortunate side effect of having to make quest compatible avatars. The shaders are optimized for android.
hey everytime I go to upload my quest avatar it pauses uploading when searching for my android SDK which I have no clue what that is and opens my file explorer
when you install 2018.4.20f1 you can choose some android thing and u have to choose that to do it
Any way to fix the transparency?
my control panel comes up but the build options are blank. is there anything I'm doing wrong?
Just delete the entire sdk folder and re import it
I'm not sure what I have to have downloaded to even convert it
How do i get my avatar into blender? Im a little confused
I have several other videos on my channel that go over this, but the short answer is you'll need to import your fbx into blender to fix it up. Check out my blender beginner tutorial, that should help a lot!
This made my brain hurt
do you have any tips
how to make people not steal my avatar
My avatars main skin just goes black
My question is where do you get the clothes? Do you create them or...?
Yes I create them from scratch in Marvelous Designer.
SDK2 doesn't work inside of Unity when I switch it to mobile..
Did you have only the quest scene loaded?
You’ve helped me soo much on making quest avatars , now I’ve ran into an issue with shaders. Soo I have one avatar and as I put the shader on in unity everything looks fine but once I go in game , he eyelashes looks like blocks lol. I’m not sure how to fix that problem at all tbh in the pc version it’s fine but the quest I’m not sure how to work with eyelashes and not having them all black and just looking like a mess. Please help thank you ! 🖤
This sounds like its a transparent texture issue. Quest shaders dont support transparency so render all transparent parts of the texture in black. You will need to make changes to the model either ensuring the meshes are only as large as the non transparent parts of the texture or you remove the offending parts and paint them directly on to the face texture. Is this a model exported from vroid by any chance? This is one of a number of common issues you need to fix with those to make them work well on quest.
@@branbroken im having that same exact issue with my quest avatar and I created it using vroid it messes with the eyebrow and lashes and I I need help with that
@@esha373 as mentioned vroid does its eyebrows and eyelashes (and the eyes also suffer from the transparency issues but not quite to same extent) with a seperate plane mesh and transparency in the teature. Quest will render anything transparent black. To fix you need to remove those features. Either in vroid by having those layers all transparent then on export set to remove transparent meshes, or after export in blender deleting thise meshes(easiest imo if your already doing extra work in blender to modify the model) this will leave your face a bit empty but need to paint the eyebrows and eyelashes directly on to the face texture. You can do that in vroid and export the texture or in any image editing software.
im having a weird problem with unity and really had nowhere to turn other than here since i cant seem to find any tutorials on how to fix it anywhere. everytime i try to upload an avatar to vrchat i seem to get the same error and i cant find a way to fix it. the error basically says im missing some sort of prefab which is stopping me from uploading anything even avatars ive paid for cant seem to upload so its really been ticking me off. If anybody has a solution or needs more explanation please respond. i could really use the help
And you've tried multiple avatars, and multiple different unity projects? Are you using 2018.4.20f1? What about the SDK, are you using the latest one? Is your FBX set up correctly as a humanoid? There are many things this could be.
@@AskAmberOfficial thank you so much for your help, I have finally figured out what it was. All the problem was is I had missing scripts in components that I had no use for and I had to delete. I really appreciate the help!
Are you not supposed to have any bones? Or just remove the dynamic bones.
You need the bones that are with the model to move, you just need to remove all components of dynamic bones and dynamic bone colliders.
does anyone have marvelous designer and if so do you continuosly pay for like once every month or is it a 1 time pay thing
It's a monthly subscription.
@@AskAmberOfficial oh ok thank you
i got "You cannot wear this avatar as it has not been published for this platform" when i try to click on it in-game after uploading it =/ wonder what the heck im doing wrong
You need to publish to the android platform, you probably published to the windows platform :)
@@AskAmberOfficial That wasn't the case, I'll try to mess around and see whats wrong
Do u sell avatars made
so uhh how do you expect us to know that we know how to copy or find are mats folder?
This (as mentioned) is a video that helps you convert a PC avatar into a Quest one. To find all the information on setting up an avatar, I have a full length and detailed video on how to do that on my channel.
hey I tried this out and it didn't seem to work unity just crashed with the sdk
I'm not sure why, as long as you have the right scene loaded it should work, but I have heard of Unity doing this in the past. I'm sorry I don't know the fix other than what I went over in the video. Seems to be an SDK issue that VRC needs to look into.
@@AskAmberOfficial yeah thank you for your help though
Whenever i switch platform to android, it always crashes whenever VRChat SDK is imported in the project. It happens with both SDK's. Idk how to fix this issue. It even does it when no model is imported in the project
Try doing this, sometimes it's a shader issue 4:18
@@AskAmberOfficial its mainly crashing from the VR SDK package. I created a new project with nothing in it, and then I imported the VR SDK into the project, and then it crashed when i changed to Android platform. Then i tried the other way where i first set it to Android Platform, and it crashed when I imported the VR SDK.
@@DiamondDarrien same thing is happening to me
Same
What website is he on
Every time I put the sdk and try to transfer to android it crashes and it doesn’t do it. If I transfer to android then put the sdk it crashes and brakes the file. (BTW I use build settings to transfer to android)
HELP PLEASE!?!?!?!
Same here
if you’re still having this problem try checking the last thing the loading thing says when it crashes, for me i had to get rid of textures and after i got rid of them i had no more problems
Your going so fast and not dumbing it down for new users
How do u copy/select mats?
ctrl + click each or ctrl+A to select all. Then ctrl+D to duplicate
@@AskAmberOfficial Thx
When i switch to the android platform my unity crashes can someone please help me i been trying to deal with this satiation for 2 weeks straight.
Do you have only the quest model in the hierarchy? Any pc shaders/dynamics etc in that section will crash unity often. Also did you use the file>build settings option instead of using the one in the sdk control panel to switch to android? The sdk one will mess it up as well as having a pc avatar loaded.
@@AskAmberOfficial thx
Same happened to meee
ima using sketchfab so its all set up lol
What version of unity are u using?
2018.4.20f1
I feel like an old man and I'm 21 I have no idea what I'm doing😂
Are you on mac or pc?
I'm on PC now but started out on Mac :)
I have a question. How would you get a PC avatar that someone else has already made into unity?
you need the original creator to give you the model files to bring it into unity. another option could be to search the assets up online and find a similar model to put into unity, but there’s no real way to get the avatar unless you get it from the original owner if its not given online
I want a South Park avatar 😭
amber where do you get all your avatar models 🙂
I make them lol.
@@AskAmberOfficial I - the patience you have to do all that and can you make a tutorial for that please if you get the time 🙂
@@coffiwhitted671 I have a few blender tutorials up and I also use marvelous designer for the clothes. :) :)
how do you duplicate the mats '-'
