For the average user yes. This works well with armatures that have bone prefix/suffixes added on which makes merging in blender a pain as you have to fix the vertex group names. In blender you have to also sometimes copy and reparent bones from one armature to another in the cases of straps or other dynamic bones. Finally combining in blender is DESTRUCTIVE you permanently modify the armature of the base/clothing and you must export your edit as a new fbx. That said you must use blender to do a number of optimizations such as combining skinned meshes, or adjusting UVs/materials etc. These are always destructive anyway. If you're not combining skinned meshes optimizing or making other edits to the model I see no reason to open blender for attaching clothing.
literally js went thru about 20 tutorials n couldnt get any dressing addon to work. you explained this perfectly and saved me like 3 more hours. ur a g
this is my favorite tutorial video i have ever seen, thank you! i usually really struggle to attach things and ApplyAccessories just wasn't cutting it for a lot of things I wanted to add, and the blendshapes would confuse me but now I know there is a much simpler way
Great tutorial. This helped in a case when there was no prefab for clothes. ( At first clothes did not follow movement, but then I found out the reason - cloth meshes did not follow clothes armature. After parenting them this armature linking in Unity worked. )
Great tutorial, vrcfury is amazing. Just a quick tip. You dont need to make a vrcfury test avatar when using gesture manager. It will build on play as it would when you upload.
This is so huge, very very easy process. Learning this stuff looks intimidating from the outset but it can be made so easy with clear, concise help, cheers! ❤
So why do this instead of bone re-parenting? Not only is this method much faster and non-destructive. Its much more optimized for essentially free. With bone re-parenting there are lots of duplicate bone transforms that bloat the avatar. VRC Fury re-writes the skinned mesh renderer of accessories to use existing bones instead. The VRCFury approach is also far less prone to error. There's zero chance of dragging the bone into the wrong parent. The setup using VRC Fury also can be completely removed from the avatar easily and doesn't require unpacking prefabs. You don't need to start over to remove an accessory. I just overall love VRC Fury's non-destructive workflow. But it's not perfect for everything.
You should make more videos. I mean I even found a way to animate the emission on an avatar so a player can use a radial wheel and choose whatever color they want. This method works on the Quest platform as well.
Thank you so much! You're right... a lot of tutorials are TERRIBLE. I recently got into using VRCFury to do a lot of things, but I had not learned how to do armature and blendshape links. Stumbled upon this vid looking for something else, but this helped me so much and will make editing models SO much easier. Liked and Subbed for sure.
I am new to adding clothes to avatars. This process seems quite helpful. Does it work for any objects/props you attempt to add to the avatar? Or just for clothes? And does it only work for clothes made specifically for that avatar base?
Simple question? Does the piece of clothing require blendshapes premade in blender on the fbx or does vrcfury just makes them on the spot? And will vrcfury actually use the blendshapes already on the avi
with the avatar im using, which was already setup to use vrcfury. whenever the script is added to anything thats in the project or attached to the avatar, the ears stop corresponding with gestures, been trying to tackle this issue for quite some time and thought id ask here
I have an issue where the clothing sits correctly on the preview but when I go to the gesture menu and turn on the hoodie it's a little higher than I want it to be. How do I adjust it to be a little lower?
Just curious how if this its possible to use this to bind shoes as well, wondering what bone to parent that would be if so Would it be whatever parent bone is above shoes?
1. Why not turn off the object in full? (my added clothes came all in pieces, and would take a long time to toggle them each and idk how to make groups) 2. I didn't link any blendshapes, is that a problem? They're to clothes at this point. 3. My armature link is to the hips on the original avatar... all good? 4. I want to eventually link a body with all of it's glory, blendshapes, ect... but sometimes they come with their own ID, like they are their own avatar... ugh.. I don't know the proper way to mesh everything together, they have the same base.
How do I fix clipping issues? ik this isnt really meant for asking for help but tbh im having acouple of issues and I want to learn vrcfury to its fullest to make adding assets easier and fixing other assets on other avatars
What if your clothing is at an A pose and the avatar is at a T pose how would you attach them? Would I need to fix up the clothes to be a T pose in Blender?
I used this method and it seems to be re parenting everything in the test build, but the arms on my jacket remain frozen? Do you have an idea what might be causing the issue?
Yeah, show me how to put on my big boy pants for my own models. This means I can bring base models with no clothing into Blender, then into Unity. Blender confused me with the clothing.
Thank god for this tutorial, had a vid tell me to reparent bones and it wiped all of my physbones irreversibly. Lucky I made a backup or I would have lost like 2 weeks of work.
Hey word of warning, some clothings will break I tried this with the rexx sweatpants and it just breaks the sweatpants I'm still figuring out if I can fix that but for now it only works with some accessories not all.
There are some odd things that can happen yeah. Ik there's a hoodie that breaks face tracking and other edge cases. This will work fine in most circumstances though and since its non-destructive its really easy to track down whats gone wrong and remove it.
Hi there, im having issues with the jacket sleeves not moving with my avatar...I chose the body being used as the base for the Blendshape link but im stuck now...any help please?
every tutorial have seen has someone adding something into unity using this what about if the avatar has stuff you built in blender and it needs toggles how do you do that
alright the arms didnt automatically bind to jacksht nothin. confused on what i did wrong, confused on how you added something to a prefab without unpacking it, confused confused and even more confused.
The hoodie has multiple versions depending on the base you're using, make sure that you're using one that supports your base. Also the hoodie may clip before vrc fury builds the avatar this is normal. You can test with "build a test copy" as shown in the video
IM getting No Valid Mappings found Can anyone help i followed the Video Perfectly trying to gain an understanding but im stuck trying to BlendshapeLink
@@spookattz4171 I never Figured it out I changed my approach to directly place each bone under the corresponding bone then resizing instead of using VRCFury since i tried it for around 2 weeks on many different models and clothes and got the same Issue every single time, its not as fast as VRCFury so it would have been nice if I could figure it out but it works alright for what I need it for 🙂
No sorry never figured it out. Im just manually attaching bones to each other in unity, its a bit jankie when it comes to Physbones but otherwise it will have to do until someone responds with a fix@@spookattz4171
ScreenAmpWave. i assume it was the file location "wezley" he was trying to hide but the auto blur thing shifted to nardowotkingproject accidentally or something. nothing sus though
Looking around the comments, I can see why this script exists. It's for people who are too lazy to learn how to use Blender and want to do everything inside of Unity alone. I can't recommend it for that reason, as everyone should learn how to use Blender, as doing so will give them significantly more control of how their avatar looks and functions.
would you say this is easier/better than attaching it in blender?
For the average user yes.

attaching in blender is simpler, most of the time all you need is a weight transfer on the mesh with premade stuff
@@BlizzyFox If you wanted to, you could spend some money and get polytool and do all that optimization within Unity.
@@airborne2876 Blender is free.
@@BlizzyFox
Yeah but it's not as user friendly for optimization. And the time you save using a unity tool I'd say is worth the few bucks it costs.
i've been messing around with avatars since 2017 and i'm still in full shock at whatever kinda witchcraft this is. i love this thank you .
Thanks for that. Just heard about VRC Fury from Tupper's presentation the other day. Amazing stuff, it's going to make avatar work so much easier

Blender has this wonderful option called "Merge Bones". People should try it out. 🙄
This was so helpful, I'm new to all this and was nearly ripping my hair out. and this just made it all click and go smooth! tysm

Oh with VRCFury?
oh my god youre a life saver. ive been dragging and dropping this entire time. thank you so so much!!!

Nice to see more people doing tutorials
keep it up
This is actually the best tutorial ever
the BEST tutorial i found so far, thank you!
Thank you so much i was about to scream i really needed help like this
best tutorial by far- thank the stars for VRCfury.

This is a fantastic tutorial thank you so much how u dont have more subscribers i will never understand
can we get a tutorial on adding color sliders / wheels?
amazing thumbnail
It is both perfectly descriptive and chaotic at the same time
Simple question? Does the piece of clothing require blendshapes premade in blender on the fbx or does vrcfury just makes them on the spot? And will vrcfury actually use the blendshapes already on the avi
How would I stop physbones from clipping into the clothes?
nevermind! I realized if your asset/model has extra physbones it could affect the state of the physbone on the clothing itself ^^
How bout outfits that cover the entire body?
Very informative video! Thank you! Will this method also work, if I just want to toggle between two of the same avatars, but with different clothing?

This step isn't working in the current VRC Fury version. Any suggestions?

Any tips/ vids for putting on pants when they don’t belong to me? (Attaching/adapting clothing from one model to another)

What if your clothing is at an A pose and the avatar is at a T pose how would you attach them? Would I need to fix up the clothes to be a T pose in Blender?
i uh followed it step by step for my nova beast but the hoodie just ended up inside of the body instead of attached.
I used this method and it seems to be re parenting everything in the test build, but the arms on my jacket remain frozen? Do you have an idea what might be causing the issue?
Yeah, show me how to put on my big boy pants for my own models. This means I can bring base models with no clothing into Blender, then into Unity. Blender confused me with the clothing.
you are literally a life saver
I have the wickerbeast onesie for my wickerbeast, what do I link the onesie to? (using VRC fury)
how would you go about doing like a shirt or onesie? would i still do "hip"?
Thank god for this tutorial, had a vid tell me to reparent bones and it wiped all of my physbones irreversibly. Lucky I made a backup or I would have lost like 2 weeks of work.
Anyone else having the issue where once u put vrcfury clothing or anything on an avatar, it gets rid of ur avatars textures?
what would be the base for a shirt
what if there is clipping? how would i go about fixing that ?
Hey word of warning, some clothings will break I tried this with the rexx sweatpants and it just breaks the sweatpants I'm still figuring out if I can fix that but for now it only works with some accessories not all.

thank you soooo much, you saved me a ton of time!!!!!!
could you do one with modular avatar?
Is it also compatible with the quest build to upload it for Questies?
would this work for booth avas?
this tutorial is #goated no cap on kizzy
sadly this is all already weight painted and seem to just be merging, a lot of what I want to put on my avatar is obj

how do i use vrcfury to add knotty Canine? does anybody knnow
Please ask for help in their discord. There are links there to a guide.
very suspicious of that one blurred unity project, what are you hiding???

this isnt the right way btw youre actively making your project less modifiable
