VRChat Avatar Tutorial - Basic Avatar Setup (2023)

[@tritonalabaster6269]

GOD thank you! No unnecessary uhms, pauses, tangents or segues. I know it's a simple matter of presentation, but this will be the video I send to people who aren't confident enough to upload their own avi.

[@Zedrinbot]

What usually causes scuffed eyebones: the VRC avatar descriptor assumes the eyebones will be oriented vertically, so if they're pointing forward like how most modelers do it, they'll be rotated the wrong way by default (pointing upwards). It's easy to fix in Unity, usually just requires adding a 90 degree angle to the look angles, but if you're making a model yourself you may want the eyes bones to be rotated straight up with no roll just to speed up this step.

[@flameknight7]

Thanks for making it easier for newer users to upload avatars!

[@canaanbertrand3002]

if you figured it out can you please tell me what he does because im 100% lost

[@nicermx7391]

Iv played since 2018 this is gonna be my first avi lol

[@KittyFashion123]

​@@canaanbertrand3002all you have to do is follow the stuff he's doing!

[@just.kamiro]

I am a newer one and for me the apps always say failed or dont open at all

[@BeeVee-vd2nn]

No one has EVER mentioned the tiptoeing with models before! THANK YOU

[@johnathanreed98]

My absolute favorite VRChat tutorial maker out there! You make things so incredibly simple and easy to follow. Thank you for what you do!

[@Dr.PandaCamper]

I’m so glad there’s more professional tutorial resources now. No ums or unnecessary commentary. Clean cuts and clips only.

[@omniaesthetic1256]

Thank you for the timely modern tutorial on setting up an avatar from scratch! I'm a few days from finishing a total mesh and texture rebuild of my avatar and I'll be stepping into Unity with a fresh project after that. This couldn't have come at a better time!

I CAN FINALLY DO MODELS NOW. THANK YOU SIPP!!!

[@canaanbertrand3002]

if you figured it out can you please tell me what to do, this video hasnt helped me at all

[@gachajack5879]

this tutorial was super easy to follow and helped me so much with my avatars and I had no idea what i was doing untill i saw this tutorial

[@NotAKid]

3:38 You should also ensure that the Left and Right eye bones are correctly mapped in the humanoid configuration, as by default, Unity may have mapped them incorrectly. However, it is not necessary to map them in the humanoid configuration as VRChat handles simulated eye look and tracking through the VRCAvatarDescriptor component. Mapping the bones in the humanoid configuration does allow for humanoid animations to control the eyes, but can also cause unintended eye movements while playing other animations, such as custom locomotion animations or idles. For most, unmapping the eye bones is a quick fix for these unintended eye movements, but if you do want your eyes to move while playing animations (like in an MMD dance world), you may want to make sure the humanoid animations on your avatar don't erroneously animate the eyes in unintended ways.

[@bigboo6904]

bless u man, been getting into avatar making recently and this vid was amazing timing :D

[@udunnowhoshere6759]

I love the quick and simple way you show how to do stuff! Can I expect a guide to retexturing avatars? :)

[@user-pj5eh2qh3x]

thank you so much for knowing what your talking about and not having awful mic etiquette, all the other tutorials are so infuriating to follow

[@omgitscharms]

So off topic, but the way the subscribe button lit up when you said "itll take a hot minute so to speed up the process hit that subscribe button" was so cool

[@FaMouS_STaMiS]

OMG Thank you so much ive needed help with this so bad!

[@Nexxus108]

best tutorial creator!! Got a new laptop and forgot how to do all of this, thank you so much again Sippbox!!

[@sleepysnowpoff]

Your tutorials are awesome!!!

[@EmiFolkGaming]

Best tutorial ever! Thank you so much

[@Linksin_]

For those who keep getting stuck on the downloading the recommended version of unity one thing that fixed it for me was going into your UAC ( user account control settings ) then turning the bar all the way up to "Always notify" Then restart your computer and try it again and you should see it actually start to download. Hope this helps!

[@Noragami1220]

I love you

With Physbones 1.1 coming out pretty soon, and is publicly available within the open beta, are you gonna do a follow up video on your physbones tutorials?

[@idoblenderstuffs]

"vrc avatar descriptor" not there. theres a lot of other vrc scripts but not that one. ive definitely got the avatar sdk so i dont know whats wrong.

[@Artorikus]

Another video from our beloved tutorial maker, amazing as always.

[@lorinwingtips5290]

You kind of skipped the whole part of how to import my avatar files. You only said "Import your avatar files". Is there suppose to be a button or something? I'm watching a tutorial because I have no idea.

[@meloXI-wo4gp]

No

[@ran59]

You did a cut at 2:03 and idk what to do bc i can't get that menu to pop up at all and now I'm stuck

[@lumineorfoxy6493]

Yo, I've got a problem with VCC accepting Unity. I had it installed separately, but it refused to path to it. When I deleted it to reinstall Unity through the VCC option, it starts for a minute or 2 and gives me an error. I thought I'd ask you, cause I'm following your video for this..

Can I upload from Mac? Thanks for tut🤍

[@XaviraRaby]

I can't upload my avatar because the folder is not the right one does someone know to set the folder location to default for the project?

[@shadow_healer]

so a problem i'm having (just downloaded everything and haven't even gotten through my first skin creation) is that the component avatar descriptor doesn't pop up at all, is there something else i need to download or is it a problem that i'd need to redownload everything again?

Did you figure this out? I'm having the same problem

[@TheBestSnail7668]

I have the same MameHinata model but i don’t know how to add it’s custom animations/gestures

if i ever use it ill follow this - untill then im happy copy pasting my already fully setup package. the CC wastes alot of time with constant recreation of a standard setup an didnt like adding other stuff with the PLUS function.

[@AdamVALENTIN-j7b]

So I'm also confused what do I do with those silver ball texture and the the two other ones where do I place it

[@Mj.be_geekin]

what did press to open that thing at 2:04

[@valentine6575]

do you need to buy a license or is the free one ok? I have a prefab body i bought and the shader but when i do the unity instal on CC it goes through the 1st loading bar and then just sits there loading on the next bar. It does say it can take a while but 15+ minutes to install seems a bit excessive to me. Am i wrong and just need to be patient or is there something im missing here?

[@LightGameplays]

My facial expressions dont work or lip syncing in vrchat, any solution? i made sure to do the corresponding emotions in unity

[@Hiya632]

Can you do this with oculus? Also is vrchat on there? I'm thinking of getting one

[@KaedeDraws]

What's the name of that kind of model with the big eyes and the chibi frame like what's used here? Been looking for a model like this for myself but I don't know what it's called.

[@sansloscheletro3488]

I have a blender model but i don't know how to put the textures on the model, on blender they are on the model automatically but on the unity editor they are not

[@ForgedinPrint]

For some reason, I cannot log in to vrchat from the unity even though my password and other things work fine outside of it. It just says incorrect password. Now I know I have a problem instead of guessing I had one. Thanks.

[@asdffgedrfg]

Hey ive downloaded correct unity version (from unity website) and creatorcompanion (from VRchat) and they both run, BUT creator companion says it cant find unity and wants me to install it. if i say ive already installed it and try to open(show) it via the .exe it says doesnt work (it says: Failed to load settings! Please fix or delete your settings file at "C:....\VRChatCreatorCompanion\settings.json". Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\.....\Local\VRChatCreatorCompanion\Repos'.) . sometimes it says i need to delete the .jyson folder - i deleted it but it still doesnt work. What do i need to do? i wanted upload a new avatar for VRchat so need this creator companion in my unite to do so. thank you!

[@rusicangaming5535]

hey im trying to find the avatar in my avatars folder, i see you have a folder that says uploaded when you are in game, yet i cant find a file like this or the avatar that i uploaded to vrchat anywhere, is there a way you could explain why im not seeing the avatar i uploaded? i hope you see this message because i am genuinely lost lol

My initial upload was a success, however I noticed my avatar was much too small. When I tried to scale, move the camera view, and reupload, the camera view in game is now always on the floor. I'm stuck in between my characters legs! How can I fix this? Or what is the problem?
