Yes, custom mesh will work as well. Just make sure you assign the right mouth blendshapes.

Yes, that's also the case of Occlusion Culling in Unity. Only static objects can be culled automatically. In that section of the video, I was talking about freeing up some performance by optimizing the environment as much as possible. So you can get away with using a high poly playable model.

Hey, glad you like it! If I remember correctly, VRM Meta should automatically be added when you import your model to Unity. So I think you just need to delete your model in Unity Project Window and reimport it again. This issue could also be caused by using the wrong version of Unity. I recommend just using the template project I provided when you download this plugin. I also need to inform you that many Unity errors are just warnings. If the error doesn't interrupt your export process, it can be ignored.

You can use the Calibrator in NEBPro to adjust that blendshape at 7:56

Hmmmm... I'm not sure what the problem is here. If the blendshapes do show up in the list, then I think you just need to check the node trees configuration in VNyan. Also, make sure that you uploaded the right VSFAvatar file. That's a common mistake I encountered.

In VSeeFace, turn on the expression called Show Pupil. This is kinda required for now until I figure out how to do it automatically.

Yes, but it's kinda hard to do with this plugin. I recommend checking my Expression Pack instead if you want to customize each individual expressions: th-cam.com/video/0VftuPAM6HY/w-d-xo.html

@@ReForgeMode thanks for the reply! The reply and video were very helpful

It's very version-sensitive. I recommend you to just use the template project I provided on the download page. It's also available on the free version.

Hmmmm, that is weird. Did Unity generate several folders like Materials and Textures when you drag your VRM file in? I also recommend you to just use the template project I provided in the download. Just open it in Unity.

@@ReForgeModeYes, all the folders are there. But not the last two like you have in the video (the blue cube icon and the white one) And yes I did open the Template Project in Unity. Any idea what I can do? If not, thanks for your help anyways :)

@@infinityyy4478 That is so weird. I recommend starting over with a fresh template project and try again. That prefab (blue icon) should be there when those folders are generated.

@@ReForgeMode Okay thank you. Somehow it's there now :) But now there is a problem with the iris size. It looks really weird when i try to change it. On 0 its normal, but when i change the parameters the iris starts to look like a diamond (i dont know how to explain, but its very edgy) Do you know what i can do? Sorry for bothering you so much with these problems ^^"

@@infinityyy4478 That's because you're using an old model on a 1.27 model. At the start of Expression Pack, tick the option that said I'm using "VRoid Studio 1.27 or later"

Yes, only VSeeFace and VNyan. I'm considering supporting Warudo, but I'm still learning how to use it.

Don't forget to save the script. If you're still having problems, just use the template project in the description.

Have you put installed the uLipSync plugin properly? Is it in the Project Window?

@@ReForgeMode Yeah, it's in the project window.

@@Swagberryy Hmmmm... That's weird. If you're still stuck, just download my Github project in the description and open it in Unity.

Hi! Any UniVRM version should work. For errors in Unity, try clicking the clear button on the top right section of the Console Window. This should clear the error message. If the error message doesn't appear again, then it's totally fine and you can move on to the next step.

@@ReForgeMode Completed, now I just have to play with the VMagicMirror settings. THX!!!!

@@id4rko_561 Great! Glad you managed to work it out!

Haha, glad I could teach you new things! Pro tip: you can use that overlay shader on other things as well. This is something I will abuse in later videos too.

There must somewhere out there. But this one is exclusively Unity.

@@ReForgeMode thank you

Activate the "Show Pupil" blendshape every time you load your model in VSeeFace. I did explain this in the following video.

The Unity Hub only looks at folders where your project is located. It doesn't show any files inside of it. Open that folder in your Windows Explorer to see all the files inside. If there is no files in it, then your download might be corrupt. Try download it again.

@@ReForgeMode I have opera and I can see the files when I manually open the folder on my desktop, but not when I try to open it in the hub.

@@Official_MysticWolf ​ Yes that's the intended behavior. Just open the folder in Unity Hub.

@@ReForgeMode open the VRM file in the Hub not the Editor?

and this is just one of the many problems and questions I have. like after extracting the GitHub code file and I go to add the 3D or URP to the Hub, I have 2 diff 3D and URP files with many other files in them, but nothing to add to the Hub. so ya Im so stuck here.

No, this video is more of a loose guide on how to do it. Check out the Github page in the description, download it, and open this project in your own Unity to learn how it works. It's rather simple for anyone familiar with Unity.

No, it's just regular Lerp. You can check it directly on the GitHub page and download the project yourself.

I need more details to help you out. Did you use the Unity Template Project I provided in the download page?

Problem is not about the Unity version. It's about how the tool is made for vtubing. Currently, this tool doesn't have a direct way to use it natively in Unity. You have to call the animations directly. This is an issue I will fix on the next version, where you can specify at the start what you're using this tool for: vtubing or game development.

@@ReForgeMode Oh I see, thanks for the explanation. Do you have any idea when you might be releasing the next version?

@@OM4119s I hope in a couple of months. My health is in a really wild ride these past few weeks. Plus, there are other videos I wanna make before I focused entirely on working on the plugin. TH-cam just don't like it when I post sparsely.

Haha! I will consider adding that in the next Expression Pack Update. I think it's gonna be fun.

No, this plugin doesn't work for non-VRoid characters. At its core, it works by manipulating common VRoid mesh data, which is uniform across all VRoid models, but not necessarily so on any 3D character model. Technically, it is possible to use some part of it just to add anime expressions, but I will need to make significant changes to the plugin. I don't see a big demand for that right now, so it's not in the list of things to do at the moment.

@@ReForgeMode I understand, thank you very much bro! I bought the pro and I liked it for my vroid character.

@@anuarrojas1912 Great! Thank you for patronage! If you have any feedback or feature request, do let me know!

I don't see why not. Go ahead and try it! Though, keep in mind that this lipsync plugin is not accurate enough for a full song lipsync. Your mileage might vary.

Hello! I need more clarification on which pages of this Expression Pack that you asked about changing eye color. You can change the Eye Texture in Alter Eye Texture page. Emission and HDR color is under consideration right now. I don't know exactly which vtubing software supports HDR.

Glad I could help!

Great advice! Yes, if you have more experience, you can optimize it even more in Blender. Reducing subdivisions is kinda what you do with regular 3D modelling too. Though, I wonder about the performance improvement from 100k poly to 60k poly aside from the loading times. In the original script for this video, I did create a tool to transplant Face mesh like you did there. But I kinda cut it off since I don't see much change in performance. I do know that my NEB plugin and Expression doesn't work on models with Delete Transparent Meshes since their mesh polycount is different.

Well, I recommend checking if the collider works properly. Enable the Gizmo in the top right part of the Scene and Game window to see if it's there.

@@ReForgeMode it works now thank you!

@@ericzhang1515 No problem! Let me know if you need more help!

Hello! I just checked the recent version of UniVRM and the list is still formatted the same as when this video is uploaded. VRM-0.124.0 is for the version 1.x and UniVRM-0.124.0 is for version 0.x. If there will be an update to this video, I would make further distinction between UniVRM 0.x and 1.x and clarify that URP doesn't work for most vtubing application. But everything will remain just as it is. If you just want your model to work as is, then I recommend just downloading the template project file provided in the video description..

Change what exactly?

@@ReForgeMode I'd like to find a way to change my shirt

@@BlackBearRoiJai You can watch it right here: th-cam.com/video/2miJLS6C_fY/w-d-xo.html

Yeah, it's very easy. You just need to add that weapon to your model in Unity before exporting it back as VRM

@@ReForgeMode I don't know how to insert weapons into VSeeFace.

@@BlackBearRoiJai As I said, it has to be imported right on Unity, before you export your model as VRM to be used in VSeeFace. VSeeFace alone doesn't support adding a 3D model. But you can add 2D images if you want.

I'm looking at this right now. The problem is that VRM models have a different settings which prevent native LOD plugins in Unity from working. I am looking to find an alternative or a way to force them to have LODs. Plus, making different LOD models out of VRM models will also be quite an interesting challenge.

​@@ReForgeModetry the mantis lod plugin, i tested it and it auto generates lod levels even for vroid models. for a base 44k poly model , below 30k will start to miss details, but only below 20k will start to have and large visual impact.

@@lsd310 Thank you for the info! Ouch, it's 50$ though... Also, does it also apply a transition LOD like the built in Unity version?

It works with any 3D models that have the same mesh. So it won't work if you're transferring from random 3D model to VRM model.

It works with any 3D models that have the same mesh. So it won't work if you're transferring from random 3D model to VRM model.

Well, if you already have one Target mesh that have all the new blendshapes... you can just transfer them to all other models. The mesh has to be exactly the same though, otherwise you get that monstrosity. I don't think it makes sense to have multiple Target fields. It would make it less intuitive. I'm open to feedback if you can argue otherwise.

@ReForgeMode I have a collection of avatars that use the same base mesh poly count, which is where the blendshapes reside, but they all have different hair, clothing accessories, so it would be great to target all of the base meshes for each avatar and have the blendshapes from a source mesh batch target the remaining, say, 6k+ other avatars that share the same base mesh. Or however many fit in the field or have it point to a folder with a numbered naming convention. But a basic function as such would suffice. I've been asked several times if such a tool exists.

@@SifrAllah 6000+ models? Are you trying to create VRoid character customization in Unity? Even with batch Source import, it will still be quite a hassle to drag in to the inspector field one by one. Though, I think I can create a customizable version for you. Maybe the input could be just a folder and the script will try to find them one by one. This is a very niche case though, so I don't think I'll add it into the base NEB plugin. Let talk about it in Discord DM if you're interested. Link is in the description.

@ReForgeMode Sure thing, joining now. Thanks for the interest. I'll explain more details there. Cheers.

Great! See you there!

No problem! Happy to help!

Yeah, it's not possible to export it as just VRM. This expression pack works with custom shaders, which are not supported by default UniVRM. That's why I have to use VSeeFace SDK.

Thank you! That's quite a lot actually. I will note that and add that to the things I need to do. Thanks for the suggestions!

Nevermind I think it was a shader issue

Yeah, grey/purple texture is always shader issue. This error does get more common recently. I might need to check out why it happened.

Not at the moment. But I'm currently looking to add Warudo SDK support to this Expression Pack, since a lot of people here are using Warudo. I hope I can finish that soon next month.

Yes! It is possible! That is how I added new expressions that are not available with Hinzka model. There's already a VRM importer plugin for Blender, so you can download that. But there are a few caveat: 1. You shouldn't touch the Face mesh. You can edit the clothes and the body whatever you like. But do not add or remove any mesh in the Face. 2. There's currently a bug where exporting from Blender back to Unity can cause the blendshapes to mess up. This is why I recommend you to modify your model as much as you like in Blender and leave Expression Pack as the last step. So the flow goes like this: VRoid Studio Export -> Blender -> Unity. If you do need to go back and forth between Unity and Blender, make sure to delete all blendshapes from the new model exported from Blender and transfer the blendshapes from the old model to the new model. I recommend using my NEB plugin to do that. On a more personal note, this back and forth bug with Blender is such a headache when I wanted to add the tongue blendshapes. So I wish you luck, and please ask any follow up questions if you found any troubles.

Yep, I'm still here! It's inexcusable for an under 10k subs channel to not reply to comments, especially on tutorial videos! For your issues, you just need to enable "Show Pupil" blendshape in VSeeFace/VNyan. Unfortunately, you have to do this every time you start the vtubing application due to how they work. This is actually explained in a follow-up video on update v1.1 If you need any more help, please let me know!

@@ReForgeMode Thank you for the quick response, as someone who has never used Unity prior to today I'm very glad these videos exist. Is there a certain order/specific videos I should be going to in order to get expressions tracked by my iphone. I got Ifacialmocap and don't know if there is a specific video where that could work. Sorry to bother this is all very new to me🥲

@@ReForgeMode Good afternoon Reforge, thank you for replying to my last post so quickly. Been going through some of your videos and I was curious is there was one covering using expressions by using Ifacialmocap, Is there a way I could just make the expression in the webcam and it just do the expression?

​@@Hydreigoon_Vtuber Hello! I haven't looked into IFacialMocap yet. So far my tutorial only applied to VSeeFace and a bit of VNyan. For you case, VSeeFace do have a similar function in beta, where you can set a set of expressions that will be shown on your character's face if your real life face matches it. It would be an interesting project if it's not already there in IFacialMocap. But if it already is there, then you just need to select the expression you want from a dropdown menu of your model's blendshape. On my part, I need to update my Expression Pack so that you can combine all expressions into a set, just like the default VRoid Studio "Happy, Sad, Angry, Surprised, and Joy". That should be coming in the next version v1.2 or maybe in v1.3

Of course, because this is exclusively only VSF SDK Export only. Custom shaders are not supported in regular UniVRM exports.

@@ReForgeMode No wonder that happened, and you know which ones are compatible

Hmmmm, that's weird. Make sure you're using the template project provided in the download. This plugin requires very specific Unity version and UniVRM. Please post this issue to our Discord server forum. I'd like to investigate this.

In theory, this plugin should work for any Unity project. If you require a dedicated service, DM in the Discord. I do take custom commissions for various works.

@@ReForgeMode i have tried, but doesn't work. because when zepeto avatar appears in unity it is in play mode.

@@LMCREATIVE24 Then you just need to add the uLipSync components to the avatar after it's spawned in.

Yes, this tool won't work if you modify the face mesh. For piercings, I think the best approach will be to just use a texture painted on the face itself. If you want it to be 3D, you can easily just make the piercing 3D model as a child of the Face gameobject in Unity. Make sure it's the face in the Hierarchy Window, inside the Neck gameobject. Quick tip: You can search the neck by using the search bar on the Hieararchy Window.

@@ReForgeMode Thank you. I'll have to learn unity. I've done all my stuff in blender :'D I only know what is in the tutorial here so far. Thank you so much!

@@damidraws_vt No problem! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me at any time!

Yes! If it's a texture, you can simply swap whatever eyes texture you have in your model in the Alter Eye Texture page.

Hmmmm, that's weird, since it works for me in the video. You might need to try out different options to refresh that component. Try switching other settings in that component. Or re-drag and drop different gameobjects.

Yeah, so NEB set the default setting to just override the blendshapes with the Source blendshapes. I will add this feature in the next update where you can choose which field gets priority: the Source or Target. Thanks for the feedback!

@@ReForgeMode Thank you for the reply and I appreciate that you'll include this, you rock.

@@SATOhara3173 Thank you for the kind words!
