How to make your VRChat avatar cross-platform with VRCQuestTools

[@Elleluminated]

Uh 10mb is just not enough

[@thetwistedgamer370]

You are a bloody lifesaver. Thank you so much.

[@Sam3097]

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

[@TheSAD999]

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

[@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.

[@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?

[@cooperludwig3842]

outdated, cant make 2 avis in a scene anymore to upload between them

[@nana_0822]

That might be a problem with something ur doing or errors from scripts. I've been uploading multiple avatars in a scene for 2 months now. Even when switching between pc/android

[@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

[@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"

[@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)

[@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!

[@LocalEditor-b3i]

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

[@JeviltheJesta]

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

[@chaos4000]

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

[@hellhoundaxel]

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]

how did yuo get it to work?? i keep making a seperate quest only one lmao

[@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?

[@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!

[@neonthehybrid8047]

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

[@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

[@mal0-ver1.0.0]

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

[@Chamungus]

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

[@Renulus]

NOTE dont be a dumbass like me and not download your unity version without having android support im sure no one else will have this problem im a very special kinda stupid

[@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

[@Golden-Tails]

Its strange. I had no issues before with uploading cross platform avatars, but now after the update I do. I did everything I could to make it work, but nothing. I even followed this tutorial to a T. Maybe it doesn't like that I removed some physbones that pc one had and that the quest one does not. I am unsure. This video was uploaded a year ago, and only a month or two ago did I have this issue. When I do upload the Quest version I will see an error robot (which is expected if its just Quest since I'm on PC) So then I'll reupload the avatar to PC and be able to see it again, but it will say its still just a PC only avatar with an impostor. (The impostor is what the quest users can see. It looks like a poor render from the PS2 era.) (Oh and just so everyone is curious who uses poiyomi like myself, poi had an update and you can now use its textures for PCQuest) I was looking around to find a script that could combine multiple physbones into one making Unity recognize it as one thing instead of multiple allowing more bones to be on Quest. I have seen several models have this script, but I never knew what it was. (Due to myself missing this script I had to delete them in Unity in the past). Now I'm trying to find it.

[@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"

[@its_4life]

i purchased my avatar. it keeps failing to build the avatar and literally wont give a me a reason why...

[@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 :(

[@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?

[@HibachiKitty207]

Okay I need help I cannot find a way to move over my avatar after making a duplicate. There are so many arrows I’m extremely confused is there a way you can help me privately 😭

[@magentalizard1250]

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

[@R0sie_Bl00ms_99_]

does anyone know how to get the Phys bones panel to open without getting the message after converting the pc avi? I have an avi I got that already had a converted version but cant figure out anywhere how to open the panel so that I can actually upload it ;-;

[@rosseenglimmer8962]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@skeleskev2500]

Sadly this didnt work for me, kept telling me "failed authentication" and ended up not workin, good job on the video and explaining it tho

[@LuckyAppleGaming]

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

[@Jackiebrah]

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

[@miniminchen48]

My Avatar has 17,30 mb and doesn´t will upload..(Maximum size is 10 Mb)

[@nana_0822]

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

[@Clayvr299]

TY!

[@RedRosemary]

the menu for vrcquesttools keep disappearing for me i dont know why

[@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

[@vixenoreos]

this video was a godsent thank you so much

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

[@Solareeclipsee]

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

[@tem2198]

"Takes a minute to covert to android" more like 3 hours for me 😂

[@asc114]

Very straightforward and well explained, thank you man.

[@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

[@Tipsyfr]

what do i do if its stuck on building avatar and nothing happens?

[@thewizardbrand]

the views shows you how dumb people are when the task is so easy.

[@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.

[@sdfsdfsdfs1606]

my avatar is still to big are there anymore optimizations i could do

[@BananVR1221]

ok so uhm it says i already have the quest thingy but i dont :(

[@41nn_]

can you have toggles that are only PC but others that work for both

[@rodregepess1742]

i have a double sided texture, whata material should i use for that?

[@8dh73k0]

Worked like a charm. Thanks bud. :)

[@frogzet502]

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

[@AkiMusu]

Hello! is there a way to get it from 50mb to 10mb as well?

[@fancycat8128]

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

[@dion608]

if i make it quest like this do i still see pc version?

[@blindedswan]

mine says "convert for android" what do i do

[@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

[@thedon5795]

what do i do if avi doesnt have a blueprint id

[@greasyweesie36]

whet do i do when there is no option for the control panel

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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?

[@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.

[@alis1697]

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

[@loganvr8911]

Hey ive followed the tutorial but im still really struggling. i just dont understand. sorry for the inconvinence. I feel like a douche

[@v_Magica]

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

[@Adican0]

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

[@Tipsyfr]

u find fix?

[@ApertureBonnie]

Thank you so much for this.

[@crowxcrazyhead2917]

ITS NOT UPLOADING AND I NEED HELP PLEASE

[@mloooky_995]

its say i have lager 25mb i have to put it 10mb how ?

[@JohnieCanine]

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

[@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

[@spyrothepirate6472]

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. It never comes back, and I still can’t upload to quest because it never changed from Windows to android and it won’t it refuses to, but I’ve done everything correctly. So I don’t know what to do

[@pixlerosez8116]

The pc model, changes into pink while the new quest model turns normal? Is there a way to fix this

[@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!

[@vargalasvett3494]

Does this still work? I thought i couldnt get winterpaw avatars with clothes for the quest! This makes me want to try this!

[@Noel_puppy]

When i use this to upload my should be pc quest avi, the avi is only quest. Then when i look at my pc avi in unity is says its built for android. Any help?

It keeps aborting when I press convert. "InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid"

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