VRChat Unity - Making Your Avatar Quest Compatible! (Quest)

[@nessunday]

side note, the more textures you have in the project (if being used or not) will increase the amount time it takes to convert , in sort if your not using it delete it!

[@L_aucs]

bruh i try to upload but vrchat/moblie/lightmapped not for quest? what going on?

[@gnarmaw7039]

It's worth noting that quest avatars have to be below 10MB size limit, if your avatar is too big, reducing the quality and texture resolutions will be required.

[@hitoshishinsou1978]

Umm.. Having that problem rn, it's 10.15MB, and I'm not sure how to fix it

Hopefully in the future, the next version of the quest VR headset, will be so enhanced, that making anything quest compatible, will be a lot more easier. But alas, we must be patient. Thanks again for this informative video! Unfortunately, I ran into an issue where the "build and publish for android" button was greyed out. But hey, errors happen. At least I learned a lot today! ^^

thanks the shaders tip really helped im getting just a little better at uploading avatars day by day thanks again liked the video in case I need to return

Tysm!! I appreciate this a lot! I’m a newer uploader to Vrc and I haven’t really uploaded anything put pc! Ty!!

[@Dudetson_QcFr]

3:36 I'm really wondering, how do people manage to keep the shaders that are not from VRC on the quest side then?

[@lunagardvonbingen]

I don't see any button that says "Switch build to Android". I made sure that the install also had android. Did I need to do any preparation first like changing the shader? I looked again and there was a different button that said to switch from selected platform "windows" to "android". I believe it's the same process. Unity may have updated it since this video was published.

[@PxINKY]

Yes, since this video was made, there was 2 updates. VCC and Unity 2022 Happy you found the answer!

Hey this video was so helpful, thank you very much! But i was wondering what to do about having too many materials on my avi, I remember somewhere that i need to make an atals, but how do i do that? Unless of course that error doesn't really matter?

[@PxINKY]

performance would be better if combined, but the only limits quest has is 10mb physbone comp / transforms and material type

[@PxINKY]

If your avatar uses cutout / transparency this wont convert over 1 to 1 on quest Quest does not support alpha perfectly

[@shadowtheweredevil1522]

um when useing light map for my hair it works but it give me a error but if i use anything else it make the hair purple tinted

Everything went smoothly till the end. In the editor animations and poses work properly with a gesture manager, but in game they refuse to work properly? Any idea?

[@PxINKY]

Turn your gyzmos on (search it for unity engine if you dont know where to click)

[@batubabaxxtr]

So if i want to update something on PC version, i go to main file (like yours) and it only updates PC version if i hit upload?

[@PxINKY]

So if you want the PC only, then you upload to the PC version The way to link PC to Quest is to make sure the Avatar ID is matching across the 2 uploads

[@Ashura-iu6eh]

Howdy, this might be a dumb question, but is this only needed if you use a quest without a pc or even when you use a pc and the quest is basically just a fancy monitor?

This is for quest standalone AKA quest with no pc

[@evoversesquad]

Okay so i have a question, its the part about the shaders so what do i do if i use a VRM avatar? When i tried to do the vrchat shaders it completely screwed up some of the parts of my avatar.

[@PxINKY]

yeah, VRM uses there own set of shaders. Make sure to read up on them before trying any "unofficial" shaders like vrchat or poiyomi VRM has nothing to do with VRChat or the SDK

[@yuriaddicted4501]

I have a question because i bought an avi and it has a prefab for pc and one for quest, i dont know what to do

[@PxINKY]

you can use that prefab if you want! just copy your ID over

[@Thenameisdef]

what does it mean when it says "Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 Install failed: Validation Failed" while installing it?

[@PxINKY]

It may mean that the addon for unity may have failed installation, you can try searching google for solutions or try wiping all unity-related stuff and try again Do note I have 2 new more up-to-date videos on this!

[@BeachVRC]

so, when I turned my avatar quest compatible it kinda overwrited my PC one, and when I try to publish it back for pc it does the same thing, overwrites the previous one. Anyway to separate em?

[@PxINKY]

they should not overwrite at all quest and pc are two completely different platforms my best guess is you are just uploading to pc or quest both times, meaning something may be wrong with your SDK or scripts

[@BeachVRC]

Would deleting and reimporting the SDK break everything?

[@PxINKY]

use VCC, itll automatically do it for you

[@ollyxdraws3318]

Hey I'm having some issues with my unity version it isnt compatible with android and when i try to add the extension the drop down option to add modules isn't even there, what should i do?

[@PxINKY]

I have a newer up-to-date video on doing this process, I'd recommend checking those out!

[@Paperreadmen]

I seem to have an issue where when I go to Armature (so that I can remove a component of Pys Bones) there is no scripts... Says only "Transform" and nothing below that. But it tells me I still have 1 too many pys bones. Is it hidden somewhere?

[@Paperreadmen]

nvm, found em! Sneaky Pys Bones... But even though all my warnings are gone the "build and publish for andriod" is greyed out. ._.

[@PxINKY]

you may have something else missing, sometimes the vrchat splash window likes to hide some errors ways to prevent this is deleting all scripts that use the vrcsdk as a dependency (like gesture manager and such) and re-opening your unity project

[@Aqua_Autie_1]

What if the model you’re using has transparent meshes? I kinda forgot about that and when I tested the shaders, there were black pixels surrounding It.

[@PxINKY]

Sadly quest does not allow transparancy, you may either need to fill the black with the background colors, or use blender to edit the vericies

how do i pull up the vrchat sdk thing? it doesnt show up and every source ive seen says its already installed alongside VCC
