Being happy but pulling off a pissed look at your friend or you’re concerned but you’re sticking your tongue out. These were the problems I had with index controllers. Glad to put them on a menu now.
@@keeperofdragon409I remember this time a friend of mine was crying about their dog dying, but their character was happy and it sounded like they were crying of laughter. Facial Expressions were so confusing.
PSA: If you notice your gestures are working fine, but the normal face is stuck on one, go to the "All parts" Section, then make sure the yellow/orange one is your Idle animation. If it isn't, switch to it. That would be where the switch/toggle starts.
Pro tip, make a list of all your facial animation blendshapes you used for each guesture. On each guesture, set the blendshapes you used on all other guestures to zero to prevent artifacting while transitioning to different guestures on your hand.
You're a legend! Spent hours trying to fix get my models face to do what i wanted, couldnt find out what it was. Most tutorials are stupidly long and dont have any awnsers, so i wasnt gonna bother watching them. Then i remembered you tutorials got me through the start of making models when i first started. And now, once again, you got the awnser i needed in a short but complete video.
Hey mate really can't thank you enough for your tutorials. I went from being completely afraid of 3.0 to loving it because of your tutorials. The way you teach is really understand and straight to the point so its as least overwhelming as possible and I just really appreciate it. This is my go-to channel for anything 3.0 related and I've come a long way under your wing. Thanks mate! -KawaiiFira VRC
FOR THOSE STRUGGLING WITH TOGGLES: If you have multiple animations, that don't rely on an int you *MUST* put them on a NEW LAYER. Create a new layer, name it accordingly, set weight to 1, and repeat the steps. It isn't possible to add multiple toggles that are booleans to 1 layer. I was stuck on this for the longest time.
PSA: If you happen to have an animation controller component in your Body mesh, it will forcefully switch the animation tab to interacting with that, preventing you from selecting it while recording animations in the root avatar. Furthermore, if there's a controller in that animator, creating animations from there will index the animations as Body > Blend Shapes, which when put in the avatar controller, will cause it to look at the Body as if it were the Blend Shapes themselves, and be unable to interact with it, causing it to do nothing at all.
I did this differently but it worked out, so in case anyone else is having trouble and wants to try a different way: Write defaults are off. start goes to idle (this is an animation that sets all blend shapes to either 0 or their default state for resting face [don't make changes to the blendshapes that start with "vrc."]). Then idle goes to an empty wait state with no transition condition. Duplicate the idle animation to create every other animation for the face because each animation should include the instructions to set all blend shapes back to default, not just change the ones you want to use for that animation! Now set up "any state" to go to each of the gestures except for idle, and give them all a transition to exit on the condition that the variable no longer equals whatever represents that gesture (basically the same as the transition from any state except with the notEqual condition). I may have added an unnecessary step here, but I also created an avatar mask and called it head and just only selected the head. Then I applied the mask to both the left hand and right hand layers. I moved the right hand layer below the left hand in the animator and gave them both the same weight making the right hand take priority unless it's in the idle state bc it will have transitioned to the wait animation which does nothing giving the left hand a chance to shine. Lastly, I decided I didn't like that sitting my right controller down made the left hand useless (bc the animation would play until the right hand changed and left hand only matters when the right hand is idle), so I made the open hand gesture (I use for cute sleeping face) only trigger on both layers if both the left hand and right hand are open at the same time and set the right hand open hand to transition to the wait without any conditions instead of the exit. Might want to turn off or set exit times to 0 too. Sorry this comment got so long. Hope it helps someone.
To anyone having a problem with Method 2, where the animations loop despite "Loop time" being disabled on them: Try unchecking "Can transition to Self" when clicking on the transitions in the animator. This fixed it for me
and here we are again, back to this tutorial for maybe the 15th time because i can never remember how to do this lmfao XP your tutorials are the best tho. super easy to follow and understand
make sure to toggle "Saved" and "Synced" in your VRC Expression Parameters Object - otherwise others will not see the expressions (but you will as it is local only, took me some time to figure out)
Thank you so much, I spent all day working on this and this video finally helped me do it. I had been using out of date vids and was ready to give up until I saw this!
this video introduced me to boneworks via me liking the background music in this so much i looked it up on its own. it also taught me how to expressions. moral of the story is... bone works? i sure hope it does. 10/10 tutorial thank u for this
Thank god for your video, I was trying to figure this out on my own and it wasn't going well (Pretty much forgot the FX file on the toggles method). Thanks a lot for your video. Liked and Subbed!
i wish you went in depth more with the expression parameters, as idk how to make the parameter thing if my avatar doesnt have one liked to it at all yet... method 1 hasnt been working at all for my avatar for some reason either
One of my toggles is already activated when I open the menu; when I select anything in the submenu, it just takes me back up a level and doesn't activate the toggle.
Im so confused, Ive seen a lot of ppl put their expressions controller in the FX layer OR they put their toggle controller in the same FX layer. If you have both expressions and toggles for your avatar, where do I place them if they can both go in the FX layer??
i've followed the hand gesture tutorial to letter, the gestures work properly but my facial expressions refuse to work regardless of what I do, and I've tried literally everything to fix it and still won't work
Be sure to check if you accidentally created the animations in an animation controller present in the Body mesh itself. If you did, the index for the animations will be off and it'll be trying to interact with the Body as if it IS the blend shapes, and will be unable to do anything.
Im new to editing and unity as a whole so if this question is stupid please dont bully me in that regard, for hand gesture animations, is there a way to make it where the animations dont overlap? Say i have my right hand on fingergun, and my left hand on peace sign, is there a way to prioritize one over the other instead of the two mixing?
okay thats cool and all but im still having trouble so my model does have the value but when im unity it still doesnt have it idk what to do and what if its mmd?
Based WriteDefaults=on. I've been trying to do things the official way (off) and it's driving me absolutely INSANE, I don't know why it's preferred. Impossible to understand, unpredictable, and much more work.
i did everything step by step on the method 2 but it doesn't work for me, in vr chat the menu works but the facial expressions don't. i tried everything to fix it
I'm having a problem, when I use the hand gestures the animation plays, but when I stop doing the gesture it still plays and doing other gestures don't fix it. I've disabled looping, that doesn't fix it. Can somebody help me with this problem?
hey there, working on converting some 2.0 avatars animations to 3.0 using the toggle method and i just CANNOT get them to play in game. im doing everything the tutorial says to do and its not like the animations are empty or things arent parented right, ive double checked and everything is correct... and yet the animations just wont play. what do i do?
I tried the toggles method, but it doesn't works at all. The only thing it did was to make my emotes disappear. (Emotes category is still there but empty.)
this exact method has worked on past avatars I've made and I love your tutorials but for some reason when I do this on my new avatar it doesn't work, is there a different method I can use?
I've a few questions, when recording a new animation is the duplicate model supposed to show? And secondly, I'm tinkering with my blend shapes but nothing's moving, what am I doing wrong? :
I hope you've found a fix, but if I had to guess you might have the two models in the same space and so in the preview you're not able to see the model you're trying to edit since it's in the same space as the other one covering it up.
Wondering the same. It was told to do so on other videos. I do not get why/purpose. Which is why I end up in other trouble maybe. Can someone explain to noobie?
@@jensprystawik6982 sometimes while working on animations, it can break the model and get it stuck in the "motorcycle" pose then you have to re set up you model. its just to help speed things along without trouble, I personally dont often dup my models but ive also had them break because of it, and had to rebuild the model in unity. It saves you a headache for sure
Ah, now It's just finding out how to mix the two together. Pull an item via the menu, then activate it via a hand gesture. I've got a 1.0 avatar that I'm moving chunks into the 3.0 workspace... still... Anyway, very handy!
Edit: I thought I had broken something but NO it WASN'T ME Poyomi's (public) shaders prevented the upload from working! I deleted them from the project and the avatar functions just suddenly started properly going.
Okay, I have a question. What do you do if you want more than one method, like the hand gestures and the expression menu toggles are two different animation controllers. At that point are you stuck with one or the other or are you somehow able to combine the two? I'm making an avatar and the person I'm making it for wants it to have both hand gestures and toggles and I'm not sure what to do with this.
@@HokoraYinphine I think I may have found an answer, using the avatar manager 3.0 plugin, you can combine different fx animators and use the combined one to use? I haven't tried it but I'll update on how to do it if it works.
At 1:56 I'm unable to get the hand gesture animations to show up on my inspector for some reason when selecting them from the nodes, this is the only problem I seem to facing.
I'm having an issue where my face expression animation is looping. I can't figure out what's causing it, as I have the transitions and animation settings in the inspector set exactly like how it is for the others.
So I am modifying an existing model but changing all the expressions, this tutorial works great for all of them except the default expression. my model looks kinda dopey in neutral but when I try to override the idle it as expected overrides all the other expressions.
Followed the steps, but the animations aren't working in the VRChat. The model just stays idle. Checked the conditions: Any State at 0, the first at 1 and so on. Can anybody help me?
When I follow this for the hand gestures the hands dont move to do the hand gesture when I put the animation for the expression there. Also the right hand controls both hands expressions
Hello, I'm trying method two, and beleive I followed everything correctly. When I'm in game though, nothing happens when I select any expression on or off, I'm not sure what I did wrong even after rewatching

Hello! Great video! I was hopping someone would have an answer to a couple issue. The first one is that i dont have the VRCSDK folder and i have to go the the Avatar 3.0 Manager to find the gesture controller. Dont know if its an issue or if it creates my other issue which is: My avatar does the gestures just fine but the hand is frozen and i cant figure out how to have the hands and the facial expressions work in sync. Its one or the other. Hope someone can help :) Thanks!
With the first method I have the problem of my avi for some reason switching rapidly between it's "default" state and the idle animation, do you have any idea what could caause that because I find no one talking about this.
okay so my model has blendshapes and everything and adjusting the bars when not recording works fine, but once i press record adjusting the bars doesnt do anything
Hey there, I love this tutorial it's super helpful. I am running into an issue currently where my character clips into the ground when I'm creating experessions using the Unity animator method with my blendshapes, is there a way to avoid this? Hope someone can help
I was having trouble modifying a hand gesture on an avatar I bought. One hand works just fine while the other does not. It never did this by default, so I'm extremely confused... any help?
after adding the gesture expressions the intensity of my lip sync visemes was almost brought down to nothing, my mouth barely moves when I talk now...any idea why?
Hi! Don't know if you still check on this, but I've been scouring the internet for help and cannot figure out why this isn't working for me. I followed your tutorial to the letter, planning to map my facial gestures to the wheel. Everything works in terms of having the animations mapped out, the wheel displays correctly, but when I go to test it (I am not uploading to VRChat yet, I'm using the Avatars 3.0 emulator control, if that makes a difference), the avatar's face is stuck in the expression that I assigned the 1 value for FaceInt, and although all the expressions I added are in the wheel, toggling them does nothing at all. Any idea what I may have done wrong or need to change? I can't seem to figure out how to fix this!
Update: I seemed to fix this issue, the wheel is working right now, BUT turning off the toggle for expressions does not turn the face back to the idle state for some reason. In other words, I turn the toggle for smile on, from then on I can only switch to other expressions I animated. Turning the toggle off does not make the face go back to its default. Anybody know what I should do? (More specifically, I am certain that the value for FaceInt being 0 does not tell my avatar's face to turn back to its normal face. It just stays on whatever the last facial expression I used is.)
Clearly I am missing something here. I did pretty much everything you said, but when I go in to test the model, the hand expressions happen, but my face expressions do nothing.
For some reason, my avatar gestures works perfectly, however the facial expressions don't. The facial expressions works fine in other avatars with the same 3D model but this one is different, idk why
I'm having a strange issue, where changing from one facial expression to another consecutively makes the facial expression a combination of the two blend-shape animations
I'm having an issue where when I open my faces submenu in-game, it plays the first face in the menu and trying to select any other expression causes the submenu to close and go back.
I tried this recently and the radial menu shows up in-game, but actually selecting the emotes doesn't work. I'm assuming a recent update broke/changed how this works from the amount of recent comments saying it doesn't work for them either. Does anyone know an updated method? I followed this tutorial a few months ago with a different avatar and it worked perfectly, but having trouble now ^^"

Be sure to check if you accidentally created the animations in an animation controller present in the Body mesh itself. If you did, the index for the animations will be off and it'll be trying to interact with the Body as if it IS the blend shapes, and will be unable to do anything.
Everything works perfectly! But one issue, when I click down on a face in the menu, it goes back to the default one. Any way to fix this?
Im stuck now with the main body stuck in the weird bike riding pose and no idea how to fix it and even stays that way in VRchat
I'm using the creator companion and I dont see a VRCSDK in either Assets nor Packages, could someone help me out a bit please?
I assume you're looking for the controllers folder? Packages -> VRChat SDK - Avatars -> Samples -> AV3 Demo Assets -> Animation -> Controllers
@MashuStar I had that same issue! So thank you!
@@MashuStar 9 months later and you've saved me a headache, thank you!
@@Blueonskis you're welcome! :)
Hello!
Great video! I was hopping someone would have an answer to a couple issue.
The first one is that i dont have the VRCSDK folder and i have to go the the Avatar 3.0 Manager to find the gesture controller. Dont know if its an issue or if it creates my other issue which is:
My avatar does the gestures just fine but the hand is frozen and i cant figure out how to have the hands and the facial expressions work in sync. Its one or the other. Hope someone can help :)
Thanks!
This is nice but, how do I make custom hand gestures
With the first method I have the problem of my avi for some reason switching rapidly between it's "default" state and the idle animation, do you have any idea what could caause that because I find no one talking about this.
the hand gesture one isn't working, and i don't think i did anything wrong
could you make a video on how to do this with the body blend shapes, instead of just expressions
this was great, thanks
okay so my model has blendshapes and everything and adjusting the bars when not recording works fine, but once i press record adjusting the bars doesnt do anything
Hey there, I love this tutorial it's super helpful. I am running into an issue currently where my character clips into the ground when I'm creating experessions using the Unity animator method with my blendshapes, is there a way to avoid this? Hope someone can help
That's normal. The "motorcycle pose" that happens when recording the animation wont affect anything
I was having trouble modifying a hand gesture on an avatar I bought. One hand works just fine while the other does not. It never did this by default, so I'm extremely confused... any help?
after adding the gesture expressions the intensity of my lip sync visemes was almost brought down to nothing, my mouth barely moves when I talk now...any idea why?
My face expressions stucking now all the time, a fix for that? :s
thx a bunch, my avi now has faces :3
Hi! Don't know if you still check on this, but I've been scouring the internet for help and cannot figure out why this isn't working for me. I followed your tutorial to the letter, planning to map my facial gestures to the wheel. Everything works in terms of having the animations mapped out, the wheel displays correctly, but when I go to test it (I am not uploading to VRChat yet, I'm using the Avatars 3.0 emulator control, if that makes a difference), the avatar's face is stuck in the expression that I assigned the 1 value for FaceInt, and although all the expressions I added are in the wheel, toggling them does nothing at all. Any idea what I may have done wrong or need to change? I can't seem to figure out how to fix this!
Update: I seemed to fix this issue, the wheel is working right now, BUT turning off the toggle for expressions does not turn the face back to the idle state for some reason. In other words, I turn the toggle for smile on, from then on I can only switch to other expressions I animated. Turning the toggle off does not make the face go back to its default. Anybody know what I should do? (More specifically, I am certain that the value for FaceInt being 0 does not tell my avatar's face to turn back to its normal face. It just stays on whatever the last facial expression I used is.)
Clearly I am missing something here. I did pretty much everything you said, but when I go in to test the model, the hand expressions happen, but my face expressions do nothing.
I dont know if anybody is getting the same issue but whenever i make a face gesture in vrchat it moves my avatar forward when i jump
For some reason, my avatar gestures works perfectly, however the facial expressions don't. The facial expressions works fine in other avatars with the same 3D model but this one is different, idk why
I'm having a strange issue, where changing from one facial expression to another consecutively makes the facial expression a combination of the two blend-shape animations
Having the same issue here, have you figured it out?
I did everything for the toggles but ingame they aren't toggling. Help???
i need help with just one thing i want to be able to controle my jaw ... like opening and closeing without actually needing to speak
so why when i do it on method 3 it just gets stuck on a smile and yet i copy 1 to 1 of what you did even in 0.75 speed
Sippbox is NOT mid.
I'm having an issue where when I open my faces submenu in-game, it plays the first face in the menu and trying to select any other expression causes the submenu to close and go back.
I tried this recently and the radial menu shows up in-game, but actually selecting the emotes doesn't work. I'm assuming a recent update broke/changed how this works from the amount of recent comments saying it doesn't work for them either. Does anyone know an updated method?
I followed this tutorial a few months ago with a different avatar and it worked perfectly, but having trouble now ^^"
