VRChat Avatar 3.0 Tutorial - Toggling Props & Accessories

[@imnaku]

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.

[@mayatorres3569]

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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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,.

[@-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!

[@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]

@@IreneLysium your doing something wrong then

[@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.

[@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

[@sngr-]

Was having the same issue, thanks for this.

[@KokomimiStudio]

@@sngr- your welcome man glad I could help

[@Luca-cb3qr]

still having this issue.. no animator component on the prop either

[@BunFrFr]

TYSM

[@ThemasterPink]

your a legend thx for the help

[@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!!

[@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! :)

[@JohnieCanine]

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

[@dissonanceparadiddle]

wish this was faster but I'm glad it's straightforward. thank you.

[@Nomk807]

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

[@suchdoggo64]

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

[@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.

[@junifil]

Thank you so much! I'm new to VRChat content creating and this is definitively a lifesaver. You definitively earn a sub and like.

[@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.

[@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.

[@Formelapepsi]

dude i've been to several channels and this one is the only one i understood

[@jimmyallgood781]

Thank you. Invaluable information! I forgot the first steps on how to get there, once I was in the expression menu and fx windows, it was smooth sailing. Cheers!

[@Ariessw]

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

[@JohnieCanine]

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

[@Jamalisthegoat]

Thanks for all the help over the years really appreciate it

[@Estamir]

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

[@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!

[@hizzyvr]

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

[@KexGD]

Following these tutorials I found out that it's incredibly easy to make Quality of Life features if you have the right tools

[@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!

[@FelineCat506]

Thank you so much for your video, it gave me a clear idea of ​​how these things work and managed to make it work.

[@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☺️👍🏼

[@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.

[@SuperDuckyWho]

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

[@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

[@ObsequiousV4]

Your tutorials have saved my ass a few times. THANK YOU.

[@TheOneLatios]

You are an actual champion for making this video!

[@hexiidecimal8261]

I really appreciate your tutorials! You're straight to the point and show everything needed.

[@koppany4212]

Thank you so much! This guide is easy to follow, helped me with my first avatar!

[@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

[@ChiaroscuroSeries]

I lost sleep trying to figure out how to put a gun that came with an avatar I bought onto her and this looks way easier than what the other tutorials were trying to get me to do.

[@rickythewoof]

Thank you so much! This helped me massively, and I'll be sure to look into more tutorials from you

[@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

[@IronshiIron]

This was really helpfull and I finally got a toggle working. And also thank you for your help on discord too.

[@KaysaurNom]

thank you for this quick and simple video. so well done!

[@ninakemmerer4210]

OMG THANK YOU noone uses the newer Unity and it has been driving me Nuts!

[@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.

[@VermaVirus]

This felt difficult to do but I got it for toggling another tail : ) tysm

[@evangelynemaria2718]

Man this is easy to understand thank you so much

[@chaosnicx5691]

Holy fuck, idk what i'm doing wrong, i've rewatch this tutorial 10 times trying to figure out what i missed, this is so frustrating. nothing wrong with the tutorial, easy to follow steps.

HOLY SCHEIßE MAN THANK YOU. Idfk how i'd ever find that out myself.

[@hazzy5714]

this was so helpful, thank you!

[@hazzy5714]

Hey. i have a question, if i want to instead of hiding the Prop, but it on my back, how would i go about that?

[@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!

[@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.

[@NoAngeles]

I always come back to this video when i forget and do you just do the same thing for another prop?

[@BenjaminRiel]

Thanks, was very helpful and easy to follow!

[@JoshDoes]

Nice man excited for my custom avatar and stuff

[@KJ-Gaming]

I almost killed my entire family, unity is so fucking annoying to learn, thanks for the help

Can you do a tutorial on 3.0 avatar decoys? Like leaving a decoy of your avatar when you are somewhere else

[@silverbean7122]

Didnt see it in the video bot make sure to turn on sync in the parameters so other people can see the toggle in vrc

[@jf4156]

I really wish he went into how to toggle outfits, setting a default one to toggle from etc

[@Flur-E_Fury]

hey bro. great tutorial and my halo infinite MA40 AR will be looking good on my spartan. now i gotta redo that 6 more times for different weapons! 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.

[@ussenterprise3156]

Thanks for the updated Tutorials!

[@xbboyn9977]

Please make a tutorial that shows how to upload a non humanoid (generic) rig and how to make animations like walking and other expressions ❤️ Would highly appreciate it

[@vanguardangel6912]

Love this tutorial! Super helpful for sure! But if I may ask; other than having it as a backup, what's the reason for duplicating the model? Sorry if that's a dumb question, but I was just wanting to understand better. Thanky you so so so much!

[@cloutcosplay]

i wanna know this too, and if i need to make another duplicate for another toggle

[@Codyfirehead]

Used this tons. Thanks!

[@Fennek_Kaipii]

Did an oopsie myself, removed my rambling where I totally messed up on my own and leave this THANKS here.

[@SuperShadow]

at 2:19, off-camera, you delete the duplicate and re-enable the original, so all instructions from that point are operating on the original, yeah?

[@KofBlades]

Oh, anyone who's having trouble getting the textures to be included when exporting the fbx -- try making sure your model is VRM 0.0, not VRM 1. That worked for me.

[@kindnesstosoul]

something i'm trying to figure out atm is how to toggle my avatar so some of these are off by default for other players; surprisingly -- unless I'm fully enabled for people off the bat -- i've been told that persistent sounds have actually gone through. it took me until today to realize that I should've adjusted those myself. I'm going to look for other tutorials and ways it works, but this is really good and helpful otherwise :)

[@jakolken7131]

incredible, you saved me after fuckin hours of trying to figure this out. Such a big help, thank you so much

[@defialy]

Thank you a lot! This really helped me

[@aaronbell5994]

You are a gift to creators.

[@deadsleepxx]

when I press record on my duplicate model and then navigate to the prop to toggle it off, the recording stops before I can even toggle it off. HELP?

[@Emma-vh9kw]

This saved me from making my avatar Nude on Pc, I love this ty for sharing how to do it

[@marcusk.6223]

short, on point and helpfull - keep up the good work

[@AyeYuTSD]

I love you. Thank you for making this so easy!

[@Anne-ot8gq]

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.

[@ElvarMiky]

I am at minute: 2:33 when it has to put ON OFF the object with the nodes. I do the same as you do with the animation but when I go to set the Condition of the nodes it tells me: Parameters does no exist in Controller with the parameter OFF. what should I do?

[@camyazu7787]

4:39 Hi I need help on this part heh, so I've done everything right for the past few steps and when i try to go find my parameter it isnt there. Is there a way to fix this? i already tried restarting Unity

[@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

[@mr2meows]

finally the helmet of my avatar will actually go away instead of the avatar just floating

[@Z1FF]

At which point do you switch back to the original avatar? Seems at 2:22 you switched back to the original one? Deleted the duplicate?

[@AlienDude51]

godlike tutorial skills

[@Zinkrofin]

idk why, but in the first few seconds when I saw the prop's thumbnail, all I could think of was *METAL PIPE FALLING SOUND* XD

[@baroquenocturne4212]

Super handy, thanks so much
