VRChat Avatar Dynamics Tutorial - PhysBones

[@asadd2]

man, things have gotten so much easier to work with during the years. It took me a couple of tries to get a rig to work properly and now with all those easy editors and clear tutorials it's almost no hazzle at all anymore to get even complicated things like hair bones to work in vr! I'm really thankful for what people have developed during the years to make all of this so much more comfortable and easier to work with, thank you

[@SippsAvatarBox]

Important things to note: -*Don't set Humanoid bones as PhysBones Root Bones! It'll cause major issues.* Instead, create a duplicate transform of the initial Humanoid bone, and re-parent all the bones you want animated to that duplicate. Cat's Blender Plugin can do this for you. -To test your PhysBones in unity, Make sure the physbones have a radius greater than 0. Center the main camera on your avatar then enter play mode. In the game tab, click and drag parts of your avatar you applied physbones to.

[@jagagagaga]

Hey, I'm sorry for asking as it's probably really easy to understand, but what do you mean create a duplicate of the bone, and how do you re-parent these bones?

[@lefourbe5596]

@@jagagagaga it has to be made in blender. you will have full acces to the armature. with your whole armature selected press tab to go to edit mode. select the parent bone > shift D to duplicate from the humanoid parent > select your futures phys bones and go to their bones properties > under "relations" type the name of the duplicated bone. your hair/cape/tails ect... have now a duplicate as a root and the issue is fixed

[@supremetaco7476]

Thx I needed that

[@ThommyDude]

Click and drag WHAT? Because the testing in Unity very much doesn't work for me...

[@lefourbe5596]

@@ThommyDude in Play mode, you have to select the bones in the hierarchy first and the gizmo will apear in 3D. Click the name of the bone and drag it to the physbone component slot to apply physics.

[@Dante02d12]

For skirts: - Like the hair, you only need to give the physbone component to the parent bone. - Use the Polar limits. To avoid the clipping, give low value to the Max Yaw and Max Pitch. Don't touch the rest! - The gravity set to 0 works, but you should give a low value if you want the skirt to float a little. - The Max Stretch value should be lower than 0.1 for a realistic "cloth stretching". Just saying for those who were wondering if skirts were different. This tutorial is excellent!

[@uno_3099]

for those of you that cant move the bones in game tab, you have to add collision radius first, then enter play mode

[@tonk8183]

This is what I'm missing, thanks! ♥️

[@mellogalexee4293]

THIS NEEDS TO BE PINNED OMG

[@MooshSmoosh]

And how do I do that?

[@uno_3099]

@@MooshSmoosh its in the inspector panel towards the bottom when you have your avatar selected in the hierarchy, make sure you have the latest vrc sdk too

[@chispychisp1690]

How do u enter play mode??

[@TallFoxStudio]

Thank you for creating this! I was having a hard time finding clear and concise explanations. This was extremely helpful!

[@reed8246]

I haven't even played VRC in a hella minute, but I still use your videos to see how progress is going in the VRC world. Excellent video as per usual by the way! If you get the time, I'd love to see a video on how impressive an excellent rated quest avatar can actually be with "all the tricks in the book" being taken advantage of. 🤞

[@rubyy.7374]

Same with the first (second as well though!) I’m hoping I’ll be able to go to larger worlds now that my computer likely won’t kill itself having to render all the dynamic bones, which was a big reason why I fell off VRC to begin with.

[@foxxify1]

So hype for this update, its so much more customizable than dynamic bones! Thanks for your tutorials that are always get right to the point!

[@aamuchii]

This is why you're my favorite avatar KZbinr, right to the point and simple instructions

[@eden4949]

Nice to see a replacement to dynamic bones at last, hopefully it will indeed have a lesser performance hit as planned by the devs Great vid!

[@Ryan1993uk]

Nice! I can finally play with peoples animal ears!

[@pawicidee]

ryan??!????

[@monikainsane]

WHAT??!?!?>

[@fakekazoo]

ryan!!!!! :D

[@kittycat1506]

for those who wants to drag the hair like sipp did in the video, make sure your physbones have a collision radius that is greater than 0, enter into play mode by clicking the play button on the very top, position your camera in scene tab, and then go into the game tab to drag the physbone, good luck!

[@Zephyrr_.]

I love the fact that the immaculate boneworks sound track is playing in the backround.

[@RiverPhobia]

Watching this in class before going home and putting the physbones on my avatar. Thank you for the tutorial

[@MudZeePlayGamer]

How the hell do you have only 9k subs, dude you got on top of this live update the day of, I commend you highly mate thank you for these videos

[@lefourbe5596]

i'm polishing my first ever "original" avatar. this video will be useful for sure. btw thanks, we don't say that enough.

[@ralexandra1058]

Mad respect; 🙏 thank you for posting these tutorial and breakdown videos… they’ve made the transition to physbones easier for me. The Info is presented in a clear, easy to understand format.

[@gnomehead2073]

This was a genuinely amazing video. Straight to the point, clear and concise, easy to understand, comprehensive, and a high quality voiceover.

[@TPRemRemillia101]

I don’t have an armature? I downloaded my vroid right after making it and it’s only saying Face, Body, Root and then the children.

[@Azar_or]

Your root is your armature

[@KitsuneOori]

How do I grab the bones like you did in Unity? Nevermind: I didn't see the little bit of text saying to use game view

[@PrinceLeader]

This was a VERY well explained tutorial. Thank you for all the help with understanding this new tool.

[@ThamriyellVR]

Always on-point with new guides, Sippbox, you are a blessing ♥

[@DiggoryJiggory]

I've never even made a VRC character before but this video is so comprehensive that it can be understood regardless Great work

[@Queen.Laqueefah]

So glad I found this vid. So much better than using colliders! I just fixed all my hair with these adjustments. Perfect!

[@aischa3319]

You did so GOOD explaining this Tutorial! Most people creating tutorials simply go trough the process without explaining really what does what, limiting the learning experience. This from now on, will be my ''go to'' Tutorial for PhysBones, along with sharing this link with my friends 👍✨

[@alwaysyouramanda]

Oh, the conversion from dynamic bones worked out beautifully too-! 🎉🔥😭

[@BenjyVR]

Your guides are amazing Sipp, you helped me understand an issue i experienced super easily, thank you!

[@nikorinmp]

I can't believe this is so cool! I think they outdone themselves, this is waay more complete than I expected! I can't wait to start tweaking my avatars!! Thanks Sippbox for explaining this in a simple and direct way. As every video you do

[@MrCharlesFWF]

Thank you! Your tutorials never disappoint!

[@NamirasBasement]

Literally the moment I open unity I see this uploaded.

[@ItsPuppy]

babe wake up sippbox just posted

[@l33tster]

[@anzui]

You complete and utter chad, you. You answered every question I had! I only do vroid models, and I barely knew how to use Unity prior to this. But I just did what you said step-by-step and it works! After some trial and error, I made my model recreate a scene from the Exorcist by accident, oomf

[@FloofyMomo]

Oh dear god thank you for including a list of body/clothes and their best settings to start with.

[@TabTabss]

IV been waiting for this update for ages n it’s finally here

Thank you so much for posting this. It seems so hard to understand Limits from everyone else's video but you did it so well

[@quwane]

thanks so much for your tutorials!! !! !!

[@beanofcans]

when i added the physbone and did what you said, and adjusted it to what i needed, the hair didn't move at all when i used gravity or messed with the radius and game tab. i can't figure out what im doing wrong.

[@Leonard_Gray]

Thank you! All works perfectly! Presets for physics different parts looks nice!

[@trippy9865]

This is the longest video yet. As always, quality content.

[@b2kb34st5]

I've learnt alot from you. Thank you so much. I now have a playlist of your videos saved for reference.

[@UltiverseProductions]

In the first step while adding the phys bones component I do not see that as an option. Already tried reimporting the SDK and that did not work

[@alonsovargasandresrodrigo6319]

Clear, quick and easy to follow, great work. Are you planning on covering toggles and other touch behaviors like Boop expressions?

[@ZorgyBabyVR]

I just favorited this video for future reference! Thanks for the great videos! I always look forward to them.

[@NIMDAEXE]

I can't grab my character's hair or mess with it while in play mode even after adding bones and collision radius.

[@HikaruOfficial]

Man you’re tutorials are amazing, do you think you could ever make a video about facial expressions with physbones?

Thank you for 4:13! 🙏

[@rabbitything]

man, i used to get asmr tingles in vrchat but lost it, now im gonna get that all over again now that people can play with my hair/bunny ears.

[@Spirall445]

It's so much better for quest now because we just got it and now we get to use it it also gives hope towards quest getting as good as pc soon possibly or just avatars as good

Excellent Video - I truly loved it. I am just wondering how you were able to grab the pieces in game mode. I have everything set up correctly but i cannot seem to grab things like you grabbed the hair tips for example. I can move the avatar around and see parts moving but cannot grab and manipulate bits like you did. :) Thanks for your time!

[@SippsAvatarBox]

make sure collision radius is greater than 0

Does anyone know how to make the avatar's face animate when the phsybone is grabbed? I tried doing it like in the video here but they don't have if the parameter is a flot/int and what needs to be connected to it specifically in order to make it work
