Mesh Fix Unity Toggle Material Swap Animator Blender 2019.4

[@PxINKY]

Quick note: Turns out my understanding on the issue is a little off but the fix i provide still 100% works Turns out its the fact of animating the 4th slot that breaks the 2nd causing both to work incorrectly. So in the end my fix still works, just a little wrong, oops

[@PxINKY]

@ActionVR click on the "shadererror" and swap it to what ever you want either a vrchat shader or poiyomi one

Hello! thank you for the tutorial! quick question you mentioned this error was happening on unity 2019.4 it seems now VRC uses 2022.3.6 do you know if this error is now fixed or do we still need to do this workaround ourselfs? thank you for your time!

[@TbgAndCo]

I'm probably not going to do this for any of my avatars but im glad i now know how to do this for the future if someone asks me for this. thank you so much!!

[@babyplagueplogue857]

These videos have been the most useful videos I've ever had when using unity, thank you!

[@Milwalkie]

Thanks man I have been having trouble with the Av3 Toggle creator with material swaps this really did help

[@punkst3r]

Huge help! I've been trying to figure out how to make a toggleable animated texture for forever and even though it's probably not the best solution, at least it works.

[@NovedPlayer]

This was very helpful! Still works in 2022 Unity!! Thank you for the amazing tutorial for dumb people like me! :)

[@thundy8210]

Your tutorials are so good thank you so much

[@PDD555]

Thank you, it was really useful! Seriously, your tutorials are pure gold out here

[@PxINKY]

I'm happy to be able to help! 💗

[@DizzyCooperSarrosong]

not quite what i need. my on off animation for my avitar skins are on a loop of off and on again. but your vidios have been very helpful with a number of things so far. you explain things fairly wells so my dumb autistic ass can understand and follow along well enugh. you do a good job of it^^

[@RobbyAngel]

THANK YOU D: SO MUCH! This has been a live-safer, when i had two separate custom skins for my fursona to switch from cute to monster, now i can, thank you thank you THANK YOU :D!

[@PxINKY]

Happy I could help! ^-^

[@l33tster]

Fantastic tutorial! Thanks for your work on this Those whiskers are absolutely adorable haha. Where'd you score those? Cute addition to the avatar

[@PxINKY]

If you are referring to the bapper beast, It a free edit of the wicker available in Jin A's server!

[@l33tster]

@@PxINKY Ohh omg the whiskers come with the bapper! I see Thanks again!

[@Stellaruz]

When I want to swap several materials, in the Unity editor it looks correct. But when I test it (GestureManager) only one of the materials responds, but at the same time inside the game (vrchat) it works correctly. It's strange.

[@dannydashtv9418]

Could you please make a tutorial on how to create a sub menu with more than one material swap in the gesture menu using Toggle assistant It would be a big help

[@diegoalmonte3144]

hello PxINKY I love your videos and they have helped me a lot when it comes to doing some things to the avatars, but I have a question, is there any extension for the avatars to make poses? something like jojo poses

[@PxINKY]

you can just use the in-application animator record your pose and save it as an animation

[@diegoalmonte3144]

@@PxINKY it's ok thank you very much

[@eunisecreative]

its better to triangulate a plane and apply the dumby materials to each tri anyway great tutorial

[@toxzicmelona5339]

thank u so much!!

[@naynaysfx8940]

thank you for the help

[@BuppyBabsTag]

i did exactly in the video but now the eyeball is at the base of the neck and the armature is different- what did i do wrong-?

[@DrPickleCheese]

for some reason now when i do this it just gives me an erorr saying that unity cant revert overriden properties in animation mode :/

[@SlimyMcTee]

Same, hope someone can help us with this

[@bonniesullivan1998]

i cant find the animations tab

[@2fxst2drxft]

can you tell me why this only works for the person wearing the avatar? it doesnt change for anybody else in the game when they look at me when i change the materials in game. it just stays the way it was

[@PxINKY]

You didn't sync your parameter. Make sure to do so

[@stathyena]

What addon (or setting) are you using to show the write defaults and motion on the nodes in the animator?

[@PxINKY]

Avatar 3.0, its a part of VCC

[@_end3rguy_]

i followed all of these steps but my toggle just does nothing when in game and in the gesture manager preview. when i test the specific animation it works but not when implemented

[@PxINKY]

interesting, do you have multiple mat swap animations?

[@JahWilkesBooth]

Whenever I get to the part for when I have to make it (Material) > true in the transitions, the animation doesn't pop up in the list for some reason when I do it for a second time. Is there a fix for this?

[@PxINKY]

If you have the original material you may need to animate a fake one first then drag the one you want over. Sometimes it wont let you apply an already applied material

[@betty2756]

Dose it work on other avatars like ones that are not made by you?

[@TheSaltzz]

can you do a video on how to swap between hairs not just the texture colors

[@PxINKY]

You can just follow this tutorial, just toggle the hair object instead when animating

[@TheSaltzz]

i got it thank u @@PxINKY

[@Hightmaresinhere]

Hello! Quick question, if I made a cross platform avatar that has material swaps using this method, would people on the opposite platform be able to see it? So if someone on PC was wearing an avatar and swapped the material, would a Quest user be able to see it?

[@PxINKY]

You will need to edit the anim om the quest side to use quest compat materials

[@Hightmaresinhere]

Alright, thank you so much! @PxINKY

[@iamicognito4203]

I'm confused when you say to create a new swap animation when not all the WD's are checked. I started all over for the new swap animation and when I tried to swap back to my original mat in the gesture manager, it wouldn't. Was I supposed to start all over and just have another toggle for material swap, or was there a point in the middle of the process I could've started from for the "swap back" animation?

[@PxINKY]

To ease the process, try making 2 animations. One of swapping to default texture, and one of the new one Then set it up like any other toggle

[@ikillfurries]

Aye you might wanna try posting short 1 min tutorials using the yt shorts format, that will get you tons of new traction to your channel and help build a community 👍

[@PxINKY]

Thats actually a solid idea, thank you i kill furries

[@starcrafter_yt2722]

Huh​@@PxINKY

[@ArachnoVR]

@@starcrafter_yt2722that’s the name of the person who made the comment

[@dreamlp5788]

The easy way i found is to materiel swap with a vcrfury toggle

[@PxINKY]

That is indeed a feature of VRCFury

[@kingfuff402]

during the animation steps, unity is not letting me drag in the new materials. I dont know why this is happening

[@PxINKY]

drag a random "temp" one then the actual one after, ive had this issue too!

[@iamXAZofficial]

I have no clew why but when I am creating my animation, it always changes to a pink error texture when I try to play back the animation or swap from animation to project tab and back. I tried carrying on with the rest of the structure but then I upload and it's just all error pink. (trying to make different texture toggles for a shirt, prior to poiyome 7 it always worked for me). Any clew what I could be doing wrong?

[@PxINKY]

the materials could be locked or locked on different versions you can try remaking them from fresh and thatll most likely clean it

[@panictogy]

What if we want more not one Material that we want to swap? with using other toggle

[@PxINKY]

If you want to use multiple you can just use an int and connect all the states

[@panictogy]

Ok thanks for the info~

[@foxatheartist]

​@@PxINKYHey man, Love your videos! Though, I am having this problem as well, i can only get 1 material to stay. Can you go into more detail about this comment reply? It would really be helpful! Like, what would the Int be called, where would it go, and by states, do you mean animations, would the off animation have to be included somewhere? Im sorry, I know its a lot of questions and you're only one person :[

[@ActionVRTR]

Hey how did you Get the New texture for the avatar and you might remember me I got banned but I’m back

[@PxINKY]

As in the material. or the actual texture itself? one you just create in unity, the other you do in ssp, ps, or other art applications

[@Miki_153]

Theres no animation option next to console and project. Is there an add-on im supposed to add in VCC or do i need to change the sdk?

[@PxINKY]

Its base unity, you need to add it if you dont see it go to: Window -> Animation -> Animation/Animator

[@Miki_153]

Thank you so much

[@skellixer]

Is this method quest compatible?

[@PxINKY]

Yes, but youll need to animate quest shaders instead

[@HandsomeManNamedTony]

Instead of "Intermissions" you should get that out of the way sooner.

[@PxINKY]

?

[@SlipknotMassacre8]

did not work for me

[@PxINKY]

What seems to be the issue? does the animation not play? does it not show the change in the "avatar preview" under the animation?

[@SlipknotMassacre8]

@@PxINKY load in to vrc and it already turn on and stays on cant swap back

[@harurosech.4848]

using vrcfury is easier and should work for all unity versions like this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4uWqKini916qqc So i guess this is one outdated way of doing it

[@PxINKY]

As you may or may not have noticed this was posted a year ago ^-^ My newer videos are going over vrcfury That being said this is still useful to creators who want to ship it in a package without having vrcfury as a dependancy

[@Instaboi-gb9qv]

maybe slow down a bit while doing tutorials please its great but my brain cant process it lowkey

[@PxINKY]

Sorry, i go at my natural pace. You can try and see if putting the video at 0.75 helps! On another note, my newer videos go more indepth if you want to learn a bit more
