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

[@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"

[@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.

[@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

[@clairenunezz]

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

[@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

[@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!!❤❤

[@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)

[@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.

[@LuckyAppleGaming]

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

[@asc114]

Very straightforward and well explained, thank you man.

[@itzdubstep1265]

Oh shoot, I actually needed this video yesterday! Thanks 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

[@8dh73k0]

Worked like a charm. Thanks bud. :)

[@DeathgazeTheFatBunny]

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

[@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.

[@fancycat8128]

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

[@chaos4000]

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

[@rosseenglimmer8962]

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

[@CrossReport]

Thank you so much this helped me!

[@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

[@nana_0822]

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

[@thetwistedgamer370]

You are a bloody lifesaver. Thank you so much.

[@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

[@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?

[@JeviltheJesta]

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

[@ApertureBonnie]

Thank you so much for this.

[@jordancrawford5955]

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

[@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!

[@0_TECHO_0]

This was so easy thank you

[@Sam3097]

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

[@gdc_tron9030]

this tutortial is so helpful thank you

[@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?

[@thisissnake716]

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

[@vixenoreos]

this video was a godsent thank you so much

[@LocalEditor-b3i]

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

[@mal0-ver1.0.0]

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

[@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

[@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

[@frogzet502]

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

[@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"

[@TheHopefulOne.]

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

[@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

[@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?

[@american_femboy]

instructions weren't clear i accidently made a quest killer

[@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?

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@cherrygirl8204]

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

[@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?

[@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

[@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?

[@Mamaleaf]

Ur welcome for this!

[@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

[@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?

[@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 :(

[@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!😭💖

[@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.

[@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

[@Exo-Xen]

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

[@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.

[@rodregepess1742]

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

[@tem2198]

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

[@TheSAD999]

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

[@41nn_]

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

[@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

[@MagentaLizard]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@bxunnsy]

could you make a tut for making quest only to pc and quest compatible?

[@Chamungus]

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

[@darkshadow2769]

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

[@RedRosemary]

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

[@thedudwiththehat]

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

[@sdfsdfsdfs1606]

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

[@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!

[@pixlerosez8116]

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

[@vargalasvett3494]

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

[@alis1697]

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

[@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

[@anastacapter-sp1rz]

how to do the'' using same blueprint id as pcversion? please

[@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

[@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 ;-;

[@Tipsyfr]

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

[@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?

[@hydra239]

ok im having trouble with this every time I try to upload it will the do the blue circle for a little bit then stop and make a sound idk what to do plz help

[@JosephStardust]

So if I wanted to reduce poly count I would have to go back into Blender right? If that's the case then I don't wanna have to start over and create my prop toggles, animations, and facial expressions from scratch again. So if my model has a lot of polygons (say 200K+), 512x512 is good enough for Quest users? It'll still be automatically blocked regardless but I at least want them to see what my model is in the first place...

[@JohnieCanine]

I don’t think 200k polies will work on Quest at all sadly.

[@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.

what do i do if it just keeps making prehabs and when i go to play mode it says all compliers have errors please send help been struggling with this
