How to make your VRChat avatar cross-platform with VRCQuestTools

[@elikathegobby]

man- iv been intimidated making cross platform avatars for about 2 years now and no videos i found could make it sound any less intimidating your a life saver and just uploaded my first cross platform avi! thank you!

[@xxminminxx1464]

Thank you SO much! I've been trying for a while now to upload a avatar to be compatible with both pc and quest, I've seen so many videos and yours the only one that helped me

[@boggggo]

THANK YOU, finally people using PC/PCVR can see my Quest avatar that I spent hours making. Not all heroes wear capes, some of them wear ears and tail.

[@thedeathwolf5177]

thank you so much! This has been a life saver though it did for a moment make my texture inverted on the darker colors. Thankfully that was fixed by setting the texture from "default" to "normal"

[@FukoTheNimbat]

I made an avatar for a client and didnt know they wanted to use their character exclusively for VR headset, so I published it for PC only. your tutorial realy helped me setting the avatar up for vr in just 10 minutes. thank you so much

[@impsharkblitzø]

THIS TUTORIAL HELPED SO MUCH TYSM JOHNIE- AAA IT TOOK ME LIKE 3 HOURS TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT KEPT MAKING A SEPARATE QUEST ONLY VERSION AND NOW I FINALLY GOT IT YIPPIEEEEE

[@mikaylacharbin9808]

[@JackieNeko]

I got recommended the tutorial at the right time lol, I spent 30 minutes struggling with optimizing my avatar for quest and now I was able to fix it

[@neonthehybrid8047]

Aww you're a Godsend man. I've been trying to figure out how to do this for months!

[@v_Magica]

bro is genuinely a godsend for making this video, helps me immensely. thank you dearly

[@thegreatderp3520]

6:04 so we aint gonna talk about the deactivate menu that prob like a good 50% of people pressed then wouldn't be able to upload the character and not know how to undo this. (including myself)

[@a.m.e..l.i.a.]

so many videos i watched, so many days it took (3), and this was all i needed. literally took an hour with the worst pc in the world. ty!!❤❤

[@Malacha1]

Thank you for making this! Even though I had a couple snags, the tool told me what I had to address to make it work.

[@itzdubstep1265]

Oh shoot, I actually needed this video yesterday! Thanks man!

[@chaos4000]

BUT how do you make toggles work cross platform like if certain toggles are not working for quest or something like that

[@asc114]

Very straightforward and well explained, thank you man.

[@anxietyfilledVA]

This was Super Helpful Thank you so much I just Got in to avatar making and I didn't know how to make PCVR avatars But this Helped me alot

[@DeathgazeTheFatBunny]

thank you, now i can finally upload my avatar for quest so my friends can see it too

[@LuckyAppleGaming]

This was toooooo easy thanks for the tutorial!!!!

[@Joe_334]

The mane on your avatar reminds me of a model I made in PS2's Graffiti Kingdom. The only difference is he was more lion like.

[@8dh73k0]

Worked like a charm. Thanks bud. :)

[@rosseenglimmer8962]

This tutorial helped with converting my avatar to quest. Thanks so much. Mew

[@mmdtailsu914]

I was pleased to discover your tutorial but ... I always get the error "Specified Cast Is Not valid" on all materials using Poiyomi ... When I search on the internet the only solutions are code lines that have nothing to do with VRChat. What can I do?

[@fancycat8128]

Thank you, this was sutch a BIG help!!!

[@nana_0822]

Thank you for this! I made two of my avatars quest compatible

[@calvinchao05]

Honestly I had the VRC Convert plugin but never used the convert to android function. I literally scrapped 3 projects after several SDK errors preventing me from uploading a Quest Compatible version and this video solved my several long hours worth of issues in 7 minutes. I want to die.

[@nelladeraj]

oh hiee i remember uuu, i was just watching this cuz i was curious what questtools did since i just started using the CC. whats ur discord name again?

[@calvinchao05]

@@nelladeraj NELLLA!!! I forgot the name of it but I have the Unity files, I stopped using it because it was causing some clipping and toggle issues with the clothes but I can send it to you lol

[@noblecat-b312]

I have a problem. In VRChat the photo and description is correct... but the model isn't. Also on the platforms it is "only mobile". Is there any way to fix this?

[@LocalEditor-b3i]

Okay but what happens if the Thing doesn't show up on the task bar

[@CrossReport]

Thank you so much this helped me!

[@thetwistedgamer370]

You are a bloody lifesaver. Thank you so much.

[@CuddleBean]

What does vrc quest tools do? SURPRISINGLY MY AVATAR WAS ABOUT 33 MB AND IT DIED DOWN TO 12 FROM ME USING THIS? It still looked decent and not blurry? I was shocked 😮 New subscriber!

[@Shirou7000]

idk how r u doing this so your avatar is under 10mb... every time i try to convert something the size is too big :/ that's the main reason i looked for this video

[@JeviltheJesta]

thanks now my friends can see my scuffed avatar also suggestion could you try to make a video for brining rigs into unity

[@srahhstfan9858]

when i go to upload my avatar the "build & publish for android" isn't available for me to click

[@JohnieCanine]

You might have a hidden shader somewhere that VRCQuestTools didn’t find that is set to something other than a VRChat shader.

[@srahhstfan9858]

@@JohnieCanine where can i find the hidden shader?

[@JohnieCanine]

@@srahhstfan9858 Try looking through all the assets of the avatar for materials in the hierarchy and in all the folders that the avatar came with.

[@Sam3097]

Thank you I haven’t tried it yet but I’m gonna thank you in advance

[@ApertureBonnie]

Thank you so much for this.

[@mal0-ver1.0.0]

My avatar still reads about 11.17 mb and it can't be uploaded. Help?

[@jordancrawford5955]

Amazing video and I really appreciate it plz do more 👍🏿

[@vixenoreos]

this video was a godsent thank you so much

[@jesterod]

does not work for me i cant convert it wont let me put my model in the convert area

[@korinpoolos8271]

Same, I cant get it to work either

[@american_femboy]

instructions weren't clear i accidently made a quest killer

[@angxlVR]

Ok so, I tried to upload an avatar for the cross platform. I did all the steps you did, and I'm at the upload page. I'm not sure if the cross platform button is supposed to be greyed out. Idk if anyone else is having this issue, but I have this every time I convert majority of my avatars for cross platform. Am I doing something wrong? Please come back to me when you can.

[@noblecat-b312]

same thing happened to me, the avatar isn't in the game it's just the robot. And the platforms says "mobile only"

[@frogzet502]

now question. what if the avatar has several models in the unity package already

[@YokaiTemple]

YOU ARE MY GOD DAMN HERO!! I've been trying to figure out how to make my avatars quest compatible since 2021 and no tutorial nor suggestion helped no matter what I tried. I tried so hard and followed instructions so close only to fail. I was finally able to make an avatar quest compatible today for the first time!😭💖

[@0_TECHO_0]

This was so easy thank you

[@Orionx280]

This is an amazing tutorial and really helped, although my quest version avatar is over the 10MB maximum. Do you have any tips to decrease the size?

[@thisissnake716]

Best device ever thanks.dont have to deal with all that unnecessary shaders fixes.

[@gdc_tron9030]

this tutortial is so helpful thank you

[@Menma-Abyss]

Any advice for when the textures are SUUUUPER blurry and disocloured? Also theres textures that shouldnt be there (this model is made in vroid so it gave it eyebrows out of nowhere (so now it has two sets or eyebrows. One thats grey and the ones i textured right onro the skin layer) and the glasses have gone completly grey rather then see through. Any help? I cant fjnd the shader thing like you said around 4:25 in

[@doggo_official]

still to this day your tutorial is a FAT W😮‍💨

[@Twlightknight]

Seemingly no matter what I do I'm stuck at 14.74MB after following these steps and I cannot shrink it down under 10MB. I've tried removing physbones and even changed the texture to toon to no avail. Please advise

[@ElijahWhiteman]

When I try to convert I get an error. It's saying there is an InvalidCastException: Specified Cast is not Valid. How can I fix this?

[@MagentaLizard]

Converted and now my avatar's clothing, eyelashes, and eyebrows are chunky and messed up.......

[@Exo-Xen]

Doing this doesn’t change how it will look for PC players I’m guessing?

[@onlyy_crystal]

Idk why but its not working for me. Ive did everything but the quest ver n pc ver keeps uploading seperately n idk how to fix it

[@darkshadow2769]

Can you make a new one video, for 2024 am looking at your vido and 2024 it just different and really confused

[@naruzaejs]

I have a question, the PC resolution would show on his high res form when someone's using a pc device or another vrset that is not quest? Or is it gotta look like the toon and low res form like quest?

[@probandana1830]

So I used the tool to make the quest version, only thing is the quest version of my Avi cant make any hand gestures. Any idea what might be the cause?

[@IrisDaCat]

Okay so i know this viedo is pretty old now but I'm having an issue with my avatars eyes they always look just comptly white and I don't know how to fix it

[@TheHopefulOne.]

by now the uploading says target android, but not publish build on android, now im a little conscerned, and idk what to do

[@Exo-Xen]

The textures for my toggles didnt convert, i can change outfits but if i change the colour it has a missing shader, what do i do?

[@Facad3x]

im having a slight issue, my avatar is quest compatable and when i test the quest toggles in vrc they all work, but when i play on the pc version and toggle stuff none of the changes i make are shown to quest uesers around me. its as if the toggles are desynced or something

[@biigg22]

can you make a tutorial on fixing glossy/shiny avatars? i did this but for some reason the quest version looks better than the PC one. My shaders are gray'ed out and I cant interact with them

[@lix9835]

This didn't work for me even though I followed everything correctly... It still shows as only PC compatible. I really wish this could work because I really like the avatar... But ah well

[@MASTERMAGUKU-]

Unsure what im doing incorrectly but when I upload my avatar, the quest and pc version is seperate from each other. They show as 2 different avis.

[@xo.krista]

1. theres been an updated version of questtools. 2. converting my avi to Quest's Vrchat/Toon Lit seems to have broken all of her textures. What can I do to fix this?

[@Chamungus]

how did you even manage to use the new version jesus its so complicated

[@The_Distortionist_Waits]

I am struggling with Unity right now, and I wish I could say this works, but I dunno if it's my own incompetance or whatever but all it did was upload my avatar, make it look worse and upload it as PC only :(

[@Splichood]

this has helped so much but i dont know how to bring down the download size, it won't let me upload unless its below 10mb.

[@Chamungus]

why is downloading the new version of this program making me install a completely different program? ("easy quest switch"')

[@Adican0]

i did all the steps but it only made it quest only not pc and quest compatible :(

[@Tipsyfr]

u find fix?

[@The_Real_Riko]

My copy removed the eyes how do I give it eyes again I tried to add a texture for the eyes again but won’t work it’s dark and just not what it’s supposed to be

[@Exo-Xen]

I was just about to upload it then It randomly start importing everything that was already imported for some reason

[@thedudwiththehat]

as soon as i deleted the pc model the quest models textures went sub n64, anyone know why?

[@TheSAD999]

do i need to install quest compatible shaders? because all it did was turn my entire character black

How to fix blush...or deleted...hope someday have a tutorial please :c

[@angelihere3824]

Hi, I have a question now it says that the second avi is only for Quest but I wanted it Pc and quest how do I do that?

[@just.kowski6816]

Okay so basically you know how when you open unity its just uploading for pc right? Yeah swap the platform from Android back to pc then upload it!

[@mini_ivo7631]

done all of this and uploaded it but questies are saying all they see is a robot even when they show my avi

[@alis1697]

Sadly it's not working for me, because I got a window which says "an error occurred when converting materials. Aborted)

[@eveeleevi]

It's only quest I did this without and it was only quest and I did it with this and it still is and also lost my avatar even when I saved it thanks alot

[@SPARE_ME55555]

wait i have a question. what do i do if the file cant be dragged to convert

[@JohnieCanine]

Just make sure you have the duplicated one selected when you open VRCQuestTools. That way it should put it in there for you.

[@Mr_Itchy]

my upload keeps failing, it says "an attempt was made to transition a task to a final state when it had already completed" and i have no idea how to fix it

[@ms_spinsesh]

Great tutorial! Does this method make it so that the toggles on both the PC and Quest version of the Avatar work in sync? meaning if I remove a hat from the quest version the PC people will see the hat removed as well? Right now I'm kind of struggling with that issue when I upload a PC + Quest compatible avi. The toggles just don't work the same and if I remove the hat on Quest, the PC person still sees the hat on.

After I did this it says Lower leg is not first child of upper leg or foot is not first child of lower leg anyone else have that problem?

When I press on android a thing a peer is telling me that it’s gonna take a bit, so I press OK, but then it disappears in.

[@neroxusgaming2095]

i dont really understand properly, so if i only have a pc version i can make ONE uploaded avi available for both?

[@cocoaRSC]

if your Quest converted avatar has the same blueprint ID as your uploaded avatar, then yes :) it will not override your current avatar that is PC-only but basically just adds a version for Quest - if you follow this tutorial where they just duplicate the non-converted one, the blueprint ID is already set up! once uploaded, your avatar thumbnail should have both the "PC/QUEST" blue and green circles lit up these avatars are mostly very optimized and are made so Quest users are able to see your avatar, i have a lot of friends who are Quest-only, so this tutorial is very helpful if you want them to see your avatar as it is

Try compressing the textures to 512x512. if that doesn’t work, try a smaller compression setting.

So the “convert avatar for quest” button is greyed out and I can’t press it. I’ve followed all the steps up to that point. What do I do? Edit: Nvm, for those having this problem, you have to add the VRCAvatar descriptor to the model

My avatar has regular glasses and when it converts, it just blackens them out where my avatars eyes are unseeable. Any ideas on how to fix this?

you would have to remove the lenses as quest cannot use transparency sadly
