How to setup Meta Avatar in Unity - VR Tutorial

[@anthonyhunt4659]

Yes please show us how to do meta avatars with multiplayer ! 😁

[@saushre]

Yes Please

[@AndytheStrangemusic]

Thanks for putting this out. An updated video on using the Meta Avatar SDK to create multiplayer experiences would be great!

[@3desart611]

Meta avatars + multiplayer + hand interaction + hand pose = prefect metaverso

[@luiginicastro1101]

Would love Meta avatars with multiplayer (Normcore would be awesome! But I know the older one is Photon based)

[@gaboandres]

i've been struggling with the use of the avatars on pc and now you are just telling me that all this time I just needed a different app ID for PC?? wow you are actually my savior if this works! I'll test it and let you know if it works for me :D EDIT: It didn't work for me at first but then I realize that you have to add the oculus app ID in another tab on Oculus>Avatars>Edit Settings, and there is another two slots where you have to paste your App ID. I don't know why there is this "avatars" tab for me and not for valem but I hope this help for someone with the same problem!

[@jaybenny5477]

I still can't load my created avatar following your idea, it only show the preset one in 8th zip

[@gaboandres]

@@jaybenny5477 have you login in the oculus app on windows? Also I didn't add that you still have to paste the App ID where Valem did it if you do what I said, you have to do it in both places

[@jaybenny5477]

@@gaboandres thanks, Okay it's due to my local network problem ,I still can't figure out why unity editor can't get the website info through VPN.

[@piratemin_vr]

This is awesome, thank you! I'd love to learn how to sync the avatars over photon! Oh wait you just mentioned it at the end of the video, ha ha. Looking forward to it man, keep up the good work!

[@mattlacerais2799]

Yes! Meta avatars with the new built in Unity multiplayer networking would be amazing!

[@PhilipHerlitz]

Another great video. I was reading through the documentation, and it was just overwhelming. But your 10 minute video was short and concise. Thank you!

[@richardronayne2296]

Great video as usual Valem! Two quick questions... 1) Since the Oculus Intergration seems to be updating every few weeks, is there any chance you could you put the version in the description? 2) I'm really keen to use raycasting teleport with hand gestures. Could you consider making a tutorial on how to ray-cast teleport while using a "finger-gun" hand gesture? I'm having a hard time figuring out how to aim and trigger teleportation via hand pose recognition rather than via controllers. I think teleporting by pointing 👉 would be awesome!

[@monquarter]

I would love to see a networked/multiplayer tutorial with hand interactions

[@carrotman]

Another great vr tutorial :) Using it with your vr multiplayer series is a great idea I tried to follow that series recently and hit a road block so I'd be interested to know if that was out of date or if it's just me 😅 Also expanding this tutorial, it'd be helpful knowing how to dress the avatar in different clothing (eg. armour for rpgs) and adding a pair of legs.

[@audacitychild1927]

If it was Photon don’t even bother wasting your time with it Photon is such a pain in the butt! Roadblocks everywhere like it’s Colombia lol

[@gaboandres]

I will be waiting for the tutorial on how to blend the meta avatars SDK with the interaction SDK because I don't think the way i did it is the best 😅

[@iangriggs]

Add my vote for a new multiplayer + meta avatar video (series 😉).

[@mannplaza2968]

Wow! Thank you again Valem!!!

[@mohammadalikhadem4515]

Great video! thank you very much! Also learning about how to use the Colocation fucntion for Mixed Reality Experiences would be very helpful.

[@osmanDemir104]

Thank you Valem. I watched and implemented all the videos in the Interaction SDK series: 1- I failed to activate Hand 2.0. When I update to V39 or even V40 a lot of things break like object interactions and canvas interactions. So I'm going with the V38. Am I doing it right? 2- We will be very happy that you will start a multiplayer series where we can do all the interactions with the avatars. 3- By the way, your channel is the first channel I recommend to my friends who see me working with VR around me. 4- We are looking forward to your new videos.

[@briammora6833]

Great tutorial Valem! Do you know if Meta Avatars are URP compatible?

[@upfront849]

Please make a video of networking meta avatars with normcore

[@everysimotv3837]

Do you know how to sync Meta Avatar Hands with Interation SDK?

[@ArtificialIntelligenceReport]

Can you make a tutorial on Oculus Interaction SDK locomotion? Either teleport or constant movement would be fine. My problem is that the sample locomotion scene doesn't work except for walking only.

[@74XX_arcade]

I second this! The OVRPlayerController and Locomotion sample scene both appear to be broken, and I'm stuck!

[@ravikiranpollai2855]

Hi Valem can i get any reference or tutorial that How to change/use custom hand animations for Meta avatar

[@sergeydoronichev2239]

Please! Please! Please!!! Prepare the tutorial about implementation of Meta avatars in Multiplayer!!!

[@DavidZobristGames]

please make the mulitplayer tutorial with the meta avatars :D

[@Gustavo-ri4pk]

Valem can you make a tutorial to create multiplayer vr game but with the normcore system?

[@zitdup9654]

Using it with your vr multiplayer series, ok too, please

[@Slaughterfr]

ca marche impeccable, merci beaucoup Valem ;)

[@imachomanjewelry]

Can I Use Meta Avatar in XR Interaction Toolkit System?

[@picoplanetdev]

Certain things from the Oculus SDK can be used with the XR Interaction Toolkit by attaching stuff from the Oculus SDK on the side. It's kind of hacky but I got Dash support working on another game like that. However, I assume it might be pretty tricky to do that with the Avatar SDK. Maybe Valem or something else knows?

[@leandropalmieri037]

excellent, thank you very much. Do you know how I can add collider so that the hands don't go over the objects?

[@karolledzinski710]

Next would be adding interactions to those hand tracking hands.

[@unessben89]

does it work with OpenxR ? instead of oculus ?

[@visionxr5962]

Hi Valem ,Great Tutorial But when i try to load avatar from cdn i am getting Error initializing OvrPlatform. Falling back to local avatar.Not sure what to do

[@SumanRaj-cb5fb]

Same Here And i have permission for the avatar, user id as well as for the user profile

[@loosefootgoose919]

Are you setting up both oculus quest and rift setups. Even if you don't intend to make something for PC, you need it to test as you're technically using a PC setup when you hit run.

[@HogneeDZN]

Have you found the sollution?

Great vide. Right path to the avatar zip should be StreamingAssets\SampleAssets\PresetAvatars_Quest.zip

[@firetigervr7286]

Dear Valem I was wandering if you could make a VR Unity Fighting tutorial from Enzo a fellow game dev.

[@Greg-uk9lo]

Is there any way to add movement using the thumb sticks, and via the hands with teleport and rotation?

[@emirhanyilmaz9695]

We are waiting Photon Series with Meta Avatar, we need to use meta avatars with multiplayers.

[@TheDesignerDeveloper]

Does this allow the players to move around and walk and jump? If not where can we find that information?

[@andreeam4291]

Hey great tutorial! Does anyone know if these meta avatars can be scaled (like the ovrhands)?

[@daniloarrudaaa]

It seems like the Oculus integration has been deprecated? I am trying to install the package in Unity 2022 and I get a bunch of error messages saying that OVR dependencies are missing...

[@Lottevdheijden77]

Could you also interact with objects with these hands? And walk? Really curious how you would of that

[@MatiHaufn]

Hey, thank you for the cool Tutorials. It is very helpful! :) I have still an issue and couldn’t find out, what I can do. When I start the app in Unity everything is fine. But when I start the build in the Oculus Quest 2 my meta avatar has completely white textures. Just in the build. I already tried to setup the light settings and tested a different project. Can you/ anyone help? Is there a setting I have to change or could it be something else?

[@nicolasferreiro6559]

Great tutorial!! Has anyone been able to configure it so that only the head appears? I have tried several settings of the scripts but nothing worked?

[@gunasekhar9029]

Can this custom avatar be used in all VR and Games where Meta avatars are used?

[@Kanakapallianurag]

waiting for meta avatar with mulity player

[@markfrancombe]

Please please the multiplayer thing. I already have a VR multiplayer game set up and working, so i dont want to implement a whole new system, so its just about displaying the 1st person for me and the 3rd person for other players.

[@karolledzinski710]

I use Unity 2021. 3 and when I add to scene AvatarSDKManagerHorizon it shows that all scripts " The associated script can not be loaded. Please fic compile errors and open Prefab Mode and assign valid script to the Prefab Assets".... What is it mean I should destroy every prefab and put any script???? Even if they all assigned in place.... I don't get it.

[@InnerTriad]

Do you know if face tracking and eye tracking would work with these if you were to use a quest pro?

[@marcusmarcus4765]

How can you make these avatars cast shadows in VR?

[@theturtlesurfer]

Can you customize the avatar from outside? (as you can do inside the headset with Metas own system)

[@SomethingWOW0]

Is this run in MAC OS. I tried but some DLL missing issue coming

[@nikunjsethi9351]

When will you put tutorials on OpenXR development?

Is there a way to make this like a vtube type situation?

[@andhikadimas6345]

Other oculus users cannot load their avatar in my apps. they already have developer account and joined as admin in the app dashboard. There is an error something like this 'entitlement check failed. user doesn't have app in library', they are install the app from ODH. Anyone know what happen about this issue?

[@jimverhaeghe2809]

I have a similar issue. I can get individuals to load avatars on a development build (running through Unity's play mode), but once we build an APK and push it to the stand alone quests the build fails on a black screen and eventually crashes out. I've the codes in both the Rift and Oculus area under the oculus menu. I am using Photon for networking, but we can't even get to the join room to test if the avatars are showing for each other. I've also tried on the Sample App that comes with the Avatar SDK, and the same thing happens. I am assuming it is a simple setting I am missing somewhere. Thoughts? Help? This is for a Uni project so time is short unfortunately. Even so, I'd love to hear a fix if someone finds one later.

[@TkMe2Mrz]

why is there no head for me. I am in first person and set up a mirror in my scene and have no head.

[@Spartinus]

in first person there is no head, the head shows up in third person

[@qualar]

When i drop in the AvatarSdkManagerHorizon every scrip has a triangle warning with the following text "The associated script cannot be loaded. Please fix compile errors and open Prefab Mode and assign a valid script". I'm using editor version 2021.3.4f1

[@vitaliiandronov8629]

Maybe it's too late, but I solved that by deleting conflicted json file from library ( the error was in logs, another file was in avatars 2 folder, I haven't touched it)

Just uninstall Version control and Newtonsoft from the package manager before importing the avatar sdk. it works for me.

Yes you can make these meta avatar work even if your game is not in VR ! :)
