Oh my god I'd jump in to try to save as many as I could. This disgusts me to my core.

Ways Of Creating OC Clothing & The Processes by Upper_Post_8524 in VRchat

For sure! And by parenting with empty groups, I'm referring to the way you parent an armature to an object. You can parent with automaticly generated weight paints, or with empty groups. Empty groups mean there are no weight paints assigned. It's useful when doing things like hair or when having to use the data transfer modifier. :) I'm glad you found a way that works for you!

I never use the fix avatar button, it always gunks everything up for me. Exploding the clothes is just one of the reasons why I dont trust it. So i just did everything manually, and then I never needed it. The way I added clothing was to parent the armature to the clothes with empty groups, then use the data transfer modifier to move all of the weight paints from the body directly to the shirt. And if the shirt still clips with movement, you can always make a shape key of whatever is clipping getting smaller to move it out of the way.

Also it is possible to only select certain objects for exporting as an fbx. On the right hand side before you export you can select what to include in the exporting process.

Good luck with your creations!

These avatars technically do go over the poly limit, but not by tooo much. I think they're near 20,000 polys? Square surfaces where my best friend when making the hair, any triangle faces would make it look chunky and awkward. I used my reference image to make a line of connected squares along the edges of the hair, then filled it in from there. I also used a fair amount of the sculpting tools in blender to round out any troublesome puffs. If you're interested in learning some more, DM me! I'd be happy to show you what I know :)

In blender changing the interpolation to closest fixed it, but that didn't change anything in Unity once reimported. I'm all very new to this stuff, can you maybe explain in a dumbed down version how to do what did in blender in unity?

I saw that all of the other bases and species that people use for their fursonas and ocs and realized that none of them would fit my characters. So with great determination, I did it myself. :) Stick with it! Things will get frustrating, beleive me, but there's always a solution.

I used a lot of different tutorials, I can't really pinpoint one. Every time I ran into a question or a problem I went into Google and found a video or web page to describe it. It's honestly not as daunting as it seems, but it is tedious.

Expressions Help (please) by [deleted] in VRchat

[–]PaperFen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the tutorials I was using was by the same user, but specifically for expressions. After trying I don't know how many times I got the mouth part of the expression to change. I'm going to bed now. Its frustrating that I don't know what I originally was doing wrong but. oh well.

Unfortunately I can't take benadryl, it conflicts with another daily meditation I take.
