VRChat Avatar 3.0 Tutorial - Toggling Props & Accessories

[@LOCKET2547]

also as this isnt specified in the video before you upload the avatar make sure to delete your duplicate model, dont worry everything transfers over to the current one

[@skelaboss4330]

Delete the Duplicate as in the old one or the new one?

[@Blas1er]

What’s the point of having a duplicate model

[@LOCKET2547]

animating on a main model causes irreversible damage and has you stuck in the bind pose

[@IreneLysium]

but even if you make a duplicate model, use it and then delete it, the oringal model goes into the bind pose

[@LOCKET2547]

I've been coming back to this video for ages for reminders. Never thought to comment. Thank you for a clear and quick tutorial!

[@RowiDankelsaft]

Thank you, thank you very much. No long explanations that take your time away, not losing the time by repeating what you just did. Just step by step showing how to. Straight to the point, easy to follow. This is a great resource for people unable to eatch 30 minute long videos.

THIS VIDEO IS A LIFE SAVER!! I have been trying to put toggles on my avatars with help from friends but I just could NOT until I found your video.

[@FurryFailure]

Everytime I get stuck, a Sipp's tutorial saves the day, to the point, clear and concise, really appreciate it! Between you and Player_Bush001, VRC has become my Oyster, Created my first world, and now well on the way with my own Rex.

[@KokomimiStudio]

for anyone who is having the issue of your recording stopping when you select your prop check if your prop has an animator component on it, after I removed the animator component on it I was able to select it during the recording without the recording getting cancelled

Was having the same issue, thanks for this.

your a legend thx for the help

[@-parpar-]

i've been learning much with your videos since i'm new to avatar making, i'm happy that my penguin can be a engineer with turrets! at the start it was quite hard to follow along quickly but i managed to get through just fine, this video was the fun trip to learn!

[@ArloRitter]

THANK YOU!! I have broken avatars completely and had breakdowns because I could NOT figure out in simpler terms how to do this. Life. Saver,.

[@starvexia]

this was very easy to understand, coming from someone with no experience! I had to remove some parameters first because of the avatar base I am using had filled the parameter data, but it was very easy to remove some of the unneeded parameters and set up new ones.

[@AquaWaterMouse]

Just got back into messing with VRChat avatars and these tutorials are seriously the best. Love being able to add new things! Thanks for the help!!

[@JohnieCanine]

The parameter doesn't appear in the list when I try to put it in the new control in the expression menu

[@tenshik3769]

Just wanted to say thank you for this video. It was a bit of a breakthrough moment for me and has helped so many things make more sense to me now! :)

[@Zero118]

Thank you man, every other vid I would find were absurdly long and still somehow unclear. You did it quick without skipping over any steps.

[@Ariessw]

This is amazing. This explains it perfectly. You get straight to the point and no extra things. Again, this is amazing.

[@mrCetus]

One of the best tutorials I have found. It moves quick and wastes no time and has all the information needed. The pause button is your friend. My Little Sister avatar now has her needle!

[@Antiveode]

dude i never understood how to do this and so many people have tried to show me but omg this video is a life saver

[@izz_Xanny]

no matter how many times i do toggles i can never figure it out alone, but this yt vid is a savior thank you for making this vid i hope ur yt receives a lot of growth in the near future.

Much like everyone here has said, this is exactly the instructions I needed to work out what I wanted. Thank you so much!

TYSM! I had recently take a break from unity and vrchat, and forgot how to do this, so this is very helpful.

34 seconds in and i already got more from you then most videos ive watched

[@TailsEmo]

this video saved my life , i do 3d furry commission for 2 years and i still didn't learn about outfit toggles in vrchat until i see your video , thank you so much

[@JohnieCanine]

The parameter doesn't appear when I try to put it in the new control in the expression menu

[@musicalwhimsy]

I want to add a note to this if you already have gesture animations mapped to the hand holding the prop, add an avatar mask to the prop for the hand it's in so it doesn't break the other animations!

[@the_agent_vr]

how do i add a avatar mask to the prop

[@MichaelKoopa]

This helped me figure out why my eyes would stop blinking when I did a toggle for eyes closed. I used the example you gave and used an idle state instead of going straight into having eyes on.

[@Jamalisthegoat]

Thanks for all the help over the years really appreciate it

[@hizzyvr]

This tutorial was a godsend, now its just time to put it into practice!

[@SuperDuckyWho]

Oh man, you make it look so easy and simple. Still nervous but excited to try it now!

[@bluustreak6578]

5 minutes that took 45min to follow. very information compacted, which is good. I had to guess a few times where to click, but it worked out. Also, I had to go into rig config and exit out without changing anything in order to fix the avatar from constantly crouching. And I'm quite confused why you make a copy of the avatar. But all in all, very nice, and made me able to do what I wanted :) EDIT: After struggling with this for several hours, I saw you need to uncheck Loop Time in the animation properties

[@computerkatt]

Surprised you got it, I still cannot lol. Menu and manually editing param just does absolutely nothing

[@DaltonJWood]

IIRC The avatar can get stuck in a different position when messing with the animator. Making a duplicate lets you use animator without the worry of the original avatar breaking.

[@derpyourhooves6168]

Your tutorials are very good. I've been struggling with how to use unity and many of the tutorial videos I've come across on other channels are incomplete, or just not easy to follow. Thank you so much!

[@mogaway9730]

Not working on unity 2022, I did it as in the video but the toggles do not turn off or return to their idle state when I deactivate them. my meshes overlap and I end up with 2 sets stuck together. If anyone knows how to solve it ...

[@Snoru]

did you find a fix? i have this problem currently

[@mogaway9730]

@@Snoru Yes, I could fix it. When you create the animations make sure to choose all the objects that will be affected. For example, if you are going to toggle 3 different hair styles, do not just animate one by one separately, choose the 3 styles (the base and the 2 extra) for the animations and then activate the one you are going to use.

How to you turn two animations into one as seen in 4:16? I have two animations, one with the hat on and one with it off. How would i do this

[@juan78268]

I know it's been 2 weeks already but just wanted to answer; you don't need two animations per hat, just a single one. That is, if you have more than one hat to choose from, as shown in the video (he showed three different hats). If you only have a single hat, you can just get away with setting it up the same way as the prop, and in that way you DO use two animations, one for the prop on, and another for the prop off.

[@SushiPizza42]

1:42 What is the benefit of duplicating your model? I have been skipping this step and have not had any issues so far.

[@skysound3928]

No begs the question why it worked in a different way for someone else but for me it didn't. This video showed me that my brain is in fact capable of making Toggles 😆 thank you so fucking much. This is what i call a tutorial - no big yapping just straight to the point yet still with some helpful tips☺️👍🏼

[@slothwarrior446]

If you wanna do the first method of toggling props can you do that with multiple toggles in the same layer or do you need a new layer every time you wanna add a new prop toggle

[@thatrandom_canadian]

Many thanks! Was able to make a prop for my WoL! Quick, concise, and most of all simple enough for a complete beginner to VRchat rigging to follow! -Only oddity is that trying to add a second prop wouldn't allow me to parent it to the bone, saying it needed to be unpacked or something.- I was an idiot, I was dragging under rather than on the bone.

[@DrStinger]

Thanks so much for this tutorial! I managed to install an arm cannon on my Avatar😁. Now I need to learn how to add firing animation

[@alienfoxdude6324]

Quick question: I noticed that after you finished making the on/off animations and moved onto layers and parameters, the copy of your avatar is gone on the left side of the screen. do I need to delete the copy of mine or is it fine if it stays?

[@jenpharitiscalls3658]

It should be fine if it stays, but you won't need it after you're done using your "test avatar". The duplicate is solely there so you don't accidentally break your avatar while making animations.

When i upload the "finished" duplicated avatar, it puts it into the bicycle pose. I though that maybe i'd uploaded the wrong avatar so i uploaded the original which fixed the stance issue, but now the toggles dont work for the prop. Anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of the bicycle pose on the duplicated avatar?

[@OurVirtualTime]

This is life changing. Thank you!

[@Dante02d12]

Holy F*ck. They actually did it. With this, you can make "dynamic" avatars (in the sense that you can switch clothes, and probably even haircut). VRChat hasn't changed much in appearance, but what's under the hood really improved with Physbones, toggles and IK 2.0! EDIT : So, I was wondering. In order to change clothes, do they need to be set as accessories? I saw a tutorial on KZbin that required merging two armatures, it sounded long and annoying so I'm looking for another method ^^'. For now I'll just make my character half-naked and set the clothes as accessories, like the hats in this example.

[@chaosnicx5691]

[@brandnewfromstorebrand9868]

@@hazzy5714 (Completely random idea, I'll test it out in a second) I assume it would work somewhat like having a 2nd model of it, and having it where you want it on your back. Have it off of course, and have the one in your hand on. Turn on Record then turn off the one in the hand then turn on the one on the back, I'm not sure about the transition stuff though. I assume it would be the same. (As I said, a complete guess) I hope this helps!

hello, great video, but do you maybe know how to do multiple props at once? rather than switching, i'm looking for a way to allow you to select two props at once, i have a way for it to work, but the problem is, the other prop disappears when you select a new prop.

[@BunFrFr]

Could you share how to set up multiple toggles im having trouble figuring it out

[@nikorinmp]

Inside the FXController, is there a way to organize all the States and Transitions for all the Props using just an individual layer? I know it's possible, but I can't figure out the logic for it. The way I want to make it, each prop has an individual bool parameter (they don't disable another prop when enabling them). Thanks for your time :3

I’m assuming you aren’t making separate parameters for each of the hat models? I’m assuming each hat model is all within a singular parameter and not each having their own respective parameters?
