[HOW TO MAKE] 2 Axis Puppets - UNITY/VR CHAT

I had a LOT of people asking how to set up the wing controllers for my Aether Wing assets, and there aren't many tutorials that really show you how to set it up step-by-step. So hopefully this remedies that!
Please consider supporting my work by purchasing my wing assets.

Even though I barely play vr anymore, this video is not only informative, but also very smooth and satisfying to watch, and everything feels amazingly good, I hope people will be able to use this to make theirs and other’s experiences more dynamic

[@Neffertity]

Thank you! I really appreciate that!

[@kiahgill3945]

I'd been watching someone else's tutorial for ages, feeling at the end of my rope and ready to give up entirely, when you so blessedly delivered my answer in the form of a single checkbox I didn't know needed to be checked... I feel dumb, but also blessed

[@Neffertity]

I can wholeheartedly relate to that.

[@Antheliondog]

Thank you so much for such an informative, precise, and patient tutorial. I came into this knowing nothing about puppets and was actually really worried about animating some wings. Thanks to you I now have a working set of wings for my AV now! You're a pillar of the community Neffertity ❤

[@kitchimera5238]

[@eleanorefavreau7728]

This is awesome!! I’m a complete beginner, and have no idea how this works, but my practice in Blender helped me follow most of what you were explaining! Great tutorial, as always. Thank you for helping thousands of people around the world, Neffertity! 💜💜

Awesome tutorial! Thanks for making this! :)

[@saphiraluxray9606]

I'm so freaking happy I got your wings and tail! Now I noticed something when you said to Parent the wings to the chest bone instead of the spine. If you parent them to the spine the anims won't work for some reason, so only parenting them to the Chest makes the anims work!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Thank you sooooo much, I always wanted to learn how to do/make a 2 axis puppet controller. I have my own Spider-Man (Iron-Spider) avatar and I gave a toggle to have 4 mechanical spider legs, I always wanted to have the ability to individually move/control the legs around while im on vr or desktop mode.

[@Neffertity]

[@kaycefennell2457]

Love how clear and direct this video is! Although for some reason the wings do not animate in game for me, I've followed the steps and double checked my naming like 3 times, and still they do not move when using the menu. I'm using the Skip4D Chibi base. Unsure if it's something with the model itself or maybe I just need to go through and double check my steps one last time ^^; Either way I love your work, keep it up!

[@Neffertity]

Make sure the floats for the wings are higher up in the list. If a base has lots of other floats, it will give priority to the ones higher on the list.

[@medium7372]

I know I'm late to the comments; but thank you for an amazing tutorial!❤ I had never done this before and you made it extremely easy to follow and everything worked first try. One question: I know you mentioned to reduce the transition times for a less snappy movement, but I can't figure out where to adjust that.

[@Neffertity]

[@aliakdogan9426]

thank you

I play very long, this help very much, so I could not find the wigs at the town control are the key.

[@ruralcyties8315]

Love these wings and have purchased them for my avatar! Very useful video too! Question however, is it possible to toggle them on/off as I can't seem to be able to without an error message appearing.

[@Neffertity]

It should be. Though you would have to toggle the whole package. Bones, mesh, and physbones.

[@ruralcyties8315]

@Neffertity no luck. Selected the whole package and get the error message.

[@Neffertity]

@ruralcyties8315 hmm I can try to help diagnose the issue if you want to reach out via discord. My user can be found on my website in the description.

[@raven13_vr]

This is extremely helpful, but I do have one question do i need to import the poiyomi if i am using the creator companion or does it do it automatically?

[@Neffertity]

You can use whatever shader you want. Just be aware that not all shaders are quest compatible.

[@nibletshniblet]

Great tutorial! I'm going to get these soon, but I am wondering if I am able to attach them to my avatar's arms (like a dromaeosaur/raptor)? I'm not an expert with edits, so I have no idea how I'd be able to do that :'D and these wings would look gorgeous on arms.

[@Neffertity]

That's something that would require weight painting adjustments in Blender.

[@Symirai]

Adding the wing skeletal structure would apply the same on a Batwing, correct? One day, I would love to rig my bat character, but her hip wings to me feel like they'd be really tricky, especially when putting clothes over the body 😅

[@Neffertity]

Roughly the same process, but the weight painting would be very different to accommodate for the added joints.

[@snowydabeatboxfox5965]

Hiya, I've been a fan for a while, I think a cat or dog ear tutorial would be a great video idea, just a suggestion though

[@5star_Ava]

Ik this is off topic to the video, but I wanted to suggest a video idea & you can also sell it! I would love to see a big floofy husky/curly dog tail pattern!! Obviously, this is just a suggestion. It would just be cool to see.

[@Neffertity]

Definitely something I plan to add at some point

[@AdorableAlphaUK]

Hey i know this is bit confusing but do you know any videos that can help me change tail on nardo dragon as i bought ur feathered tail asset but im confused on how to put it on?

[@Neffertity]

I can definitely make a video like that for you.

[@AdorableAlphaUK]

if you can that would be a huge help thank you @@Neffertity

[@Nightzyk]

This is so helpful! Also, I know you use Sculptris, can you make vr models with it? And also it keeps crashing for me, is there a way to fix that? I have a nice computer but it just isn’t happy

[@Neffertity]

Unfortunately not, as Sculptris is super limited and usually crashes before you can reach that detail state. You could use it for building base shapes, then retopologizing them. But at that point you'd just be better off sculpting in blender.

[@Nightzyk]

@@Neffertity thanks! now I just need to figure out how in the world blender works, ohhhh boy, I opened it and my brain melted 😂

[@TheEditor133]

Would there be any way to puppet multiple wings at once? Or make it so that each set has its own controller? My only thought to do so would be to tweak the animations to accommodate the other sets of wings. But surely there's another,easier way?

[@Neffertity]

You can make multiple controllers, but you will have to adjust the parameter names for each. For example, WingsH and WingsV for one set, then WingsH1 and WingsV1 for the next and so on. You will be limited to only controlling 2 sets at once though, as you obly have two controllers.

[@TheEditor133]

@@Neffertity I have an "angelic" character who has 3 sets but controlling 2 would be perfectly fine. I can try an find a way to pose the last pair. Thank you so much 🥺

[@Mircowave327]

This might be a little late because u did a vid on it a year ago but I'm struggling on how or what do u use to clean a fursuit with lights in them and I'm soon making my fursuit with lights and fans in it but if u do reply to it thank you very much!

[@twist28]

Hey uh I got the physbones set up properly so the wings wiggle and such, but the controller does not move them at all on the bubblegum bark big cat base

[@Neffertity]

Hmm I've tested them on that base and they seem to work without issue. Doublecheck that they are in the right place in the armature

[@taisadragneel]

I'm having some issues with mine, I cant get them to animate. Do the armature names have to be identical? I'm trying to place it on the Snaggletooth kobold and his is set to Root>Avatar>mPelvis>mTorso>mChest vs the suggested root>armature>hip>spine>chest. I want to avoid having to completely rebuild the animations if I dont have to. is there a discord I can go to for help since I dont own the Nardodragon?

[@Neffertity]

Yes the armature names have to be exact, otherwise you have to redo the anims.

[@taisadragneel]

@@Neffertity Ok, thank you for the quick reply ^_^ I'm so glad you have the tutorial for that in the video because I'd be so lost

I have a wing flap animation and have been trying to get a float(radial dial) to work with a wing hug animation... Well, it has not worked no matter what I do. XD Is there a way to have a wing animation and be able to have a new rotation with any type of float?

[@Neffertity]

What model are you trying to put it on? Anims can override puppets

[@CupcakeSprinkleUwU]

@@Neffertity Commission I've done for someone. I have no puppets on the avatar, just bool/int and radial dial using floats. The wing flap animation is in the FX layer in base, and plays by default. I currently have it half working... where when I start to move the radial dial, the flapping stops. But the wings don't hug like the new animation is supposed to. Would what I'm looking for be achievable with puppets though? Im willing to learn them if it will fix whatever this is. XD

[@Neffertity]

@@CupcakeSprinkleUwU I don't think you can have the anim play at the same time as the puppet

[@VoidedAurora]

I know im late to the videos comments but I did everything correctly and the controller works fine but for some reason my tail (I used this for a tail controller) gravitates alll the way up by default when in game or in play mode in unity? I tried fiddling with physics to fix it, aswell as trying to reposition the tail to compensate for the odd placment but im not sure what else to do?

[@Neffertity]

It could be a physbone collider, or a setting being in the negatives.

[@VoidedAurora]

@@Neffertity hmm I see, for refrence i have a bunch of bones in my tail and just used the tailroot to apply the physics to all of the smaller ones, should i nooot do that?

The wings move around nd such when I walk, but when I try to use the controller nothing happens, this is with the rexouium, any help or tips would be appreciated

[@Neffertity]

That's because the Rex has an UPPER CHEST bone transform. The anims look for the HIPS-SPINE-CHEST route. For the Rex you will have to redo the anims.

[@notbappo2435]

@@Neffertity This is a really late reply, but utilizing vrcfury you can completely mitigate this problem now! Using their full controller component, you can redirect animation paths. To do it, you would add the component onto the VRCFury prefrab, put the FX controller into the FX controller slot, create a parameter menu, add the params the FX Layer/or menu uses, and slot it into the specified area for parameters and next add in the menu to its slot with a prefix underneath it to give it a custom menu slot. Next under advanced options on the same component there is something called "Binding Rewrite Rules". This will change the anim paths to whatever you desire by itself. vrcfury will identify the missing anims for you. Lets say the anims look for Armature/Hips/Spine/Chest/AetherWings You would type that into the given box, then a new box will appear. Leave it empty! VRCFury will assign the anims to where ever you place the prefab, allowing you to completely avoid having to redo everything, and ontop of that its vrcfury, its non destructive. It will then apply all of the changes when you upload your avatar, meaning your parameters, FX Layers, and menu paths all stay untouched within the editor, meaning if something breaks on the prefab (whether it be this or something else) it leaves your avatar untouched. My DMs on discord are open @baptobismol if you need any help with understanding this better!

[@Emma_beckly]

Ya know I’m someone who wants to know the 2 axis puppets to do FNF animations on my avis (omg an fnf fan oh no) and I’m just wandering if it would work on like arms, legs, chest, hips, fingers and if there is a tutorial on how I could lock it in place (sorry if this looks like a mess I usually never send comments on videos)

Unfortunately you can't add puppets to parts of humanoid rigs. The only way to do that would be to have the whole avatar as a puppet. Or to play a pre-made animation that freezes tracking control while the animation plays.

I didn't know what that meant until fairly recently. I have fixed it, but have no way to push a mass update for the files. If you'd like the updated fbx, please send me an email with your purchase receipt and I can send you the update. :)

Hello😀

[@Zephyr_Bites]

Its a great model and a great tutorial! unfortunately i bought the asset and nothing has worked, i tried remaking the anims and restarting the whole thing completely, ive tried it on different models and it just wont animate ;w; im super sad about this and have no idea how to go about fixing this issue

[@Neffertity]

Which model are you attempting to put it on?

[@Zephyr_Bites]

@@Neffertity both the rexiouium and the nardo TwT

[@Neffertity]

@@Zephyr_Bites The issue with the Rexioum is the Upper Chest transform. The anims look for the HIPS-SPINE-CHEST route. If the issue is still persisting, feel free to reach out via Discord and I'll try my best to help.

[@Zephyr_Bites]

@@Neffertity I'll see what I can do! If not, where can I find your discord?

I am having an issue to where only one of the wings move around, anyone know a fix for that?

[@Neffertity]

Make sure both bones have "is animated" ticked

[@avawatson2295]

Pls make a kemono fursutit❤

[@fatalisticgh0st808]

I keep following this tutorial but my wings still flop around. The animation works! But they're extremely bouncy and no one knows how to fix it be cause it's never happened to them before

[@Neffertity]

It's likely the settings on the physbones.

[@DarkclawStar]

ok so this worked for EVERY avatar ive used it on except this newest one. NOTHING i do is working and its the same files ive been using. no matter what i do it just wont animate and im kinda losing hope. idk what im doing wrong, ive even used AV3 manager to merge layers from an avatar that does work but still nothing???? someone plz helpppppp!!!!

[@Neffertity]

Which avatar are you having issues with?

[@DarkclawStar]

@@Neffertity it's an model called rayk. One of my friends say it might have something that's over riding the animations but I can't figure out what it is

[@Neffertity]

@@DarkclawStar it could be the number of parameters. It looks like it could be a conflict with the DPS system. Puppets often conflict with that.

[@DarkclawStar]

@@Neffertity oh??? Yea I did have a little trouble setting up the dps since I edited the base model in blender. I think I can mess with it a bit more or just get rid of the dps to see if that's it

[@Neffertity]

@@DarkclawStar I have noticed that models with too many parameters tend to override puppets.

[@an1mationz]

the animations don't work for me, went through the tutorial a few times and i haven't found out why

[@Neffertity]

Which avatar are you attempting to use them on?

[@an1mationz]

@@Neffertity i was making a rexouium with them, whenever i tried to view the animations in unity all the components were missing

[@Neffertity]

@animationz451 Ah. That's because the Rex has an "upper chest" bone. The anims are looking for the HIPS>SPINE>CHEST path. So in this case you would have to reanimate the wings manually.

[@an1mationz]

@@Neffertity i believe the version i’m using has no upper chest bone, but i’ve tried reanimating too. when i reanimated it worked in unity, however they still didn’t work in vrc

[@Neffertity]

@@an1mationz hmm Do the animations work in unity?

[@AngelofGod-oe3fz]

oh maaann...I'm either too stupid for it or I have no idea. I don't have this vrc physicbones or I can't even find an animator. I just started with unity 🤔😔😪
