Just discovered your channel and love this content! Thank you for all your work with Vroid in Unity. It has a lot of potential for indie development! 🙌
Your channel is very inspiring! I believe VRoid is a game changer for anime style games. Previously the asset store was letting us down but now we have a solution.
I'm glad I could help 😄😄 It's a lofty dream for sure, but that is the sole reason I created this channel. I want everyone, even those with no experience in Unity, to have a workflow to make games with Anime art style. Of course, I do want to use those methods on my future games too. So, it's not an entirely selfless motivation. But I want to help people to achieve their dreams as well! This journey may belong. I have plans for future videos, but no end date in sight. When we finally reached the end, I hope you are still by my side 😄😄
Update converting this to Vmagicmirror did not work out good. Magic mirror did not like changing colors. So back to the drawing board for me. But your script was awesome they just need to update Vmagicmirror.
Hello! Firstly amazing tutorial!! And secondly I'm sorry if this is a silly question but would this function work for streaming? If so, how would one go about setting that up?
Thank you! Glad I could help! Normally, I would recommend you to use this model on a vtubing application, but shaders are not supported by any of them, at least without some heavy modding. At the current time, I have no direct solution for this. You basically would need to create your own Vtubing app in Unity. Step 1: Find a plugin to do facial tracking Step 2: Make sure the facial tracking work on most camera Step 3: Somehow animate your characters blendshape according to the facial tracking. That is... A lot of work. But it could be useful for gamedev if you want to lipsync your character's expression. I might look into it sometime in the future. But for now, I think it's best to find mods on vtubing application to support custom scripts and custom shaders.
@@ReForgeMode Thank you so much for your reply! I'll have a look around as per your recommendation, Again thank you so much! Also in case this is interesting/helpful to anyone I found a video that helps you pose your vroid live kind of, and I think its pretty cool, if you can pose then maybe animation would be possible too, (I'm not super techy and day 2 into learning unity) th-cam.com/video/HPTUy4y07M0/w-d-xo.html Again thank you so much for your fast reply!
Thank you! Glad you love it! Technically, you can. You can just change the variable to Mesh Filter. See this post in the forum for an example: forum.unity.com/threads/swapping-meshes-at-runtime.3445/ Edit: But again, each clothes texture was mapped differently. So even if you deform the mesh, the texture might not work on the mesh.
Hello, thank you very much, this tutorial has proven itself very helpful !! I was wondering, is there a way to switch wings as the same time as eyes if the wings aren't the same shape ? I would like to switch from one wing to two but I can't find any tutorial ;;
Glad I could help! If the two wings have the same 3D Mesh, you could just swap the textures just like in the video. But if it's a different mesh, then you need to swap the mesh. It's going to be easy if the wings are separate from the body mesh. Alternatively, you can have two wings mesh in your character and show/hide one of them as needed, by making the textures transparent.
Hello, thank you very much for the tutorial, do you think it would be possible to create a character customization being able to change the height, hair, skin tones among others, as if it were a vroid studio within unity, but simpler
Hmmmm... I'll have to look into that. If it's just some limited customization, it is possible. Anything with just texture manipulation should work with the method I've shown in the video, like - Changing color/texture (skin, hair, eyes, clothes) Changing the mesh shape however, is a complicated matter, like - Changing hairstyle - Adjust body part size - Changing clothes mesh At that point, I think it is easier to somehow use VRoid Studio inside Unity, though I'm not sure if that's allowed, legally speaking.
If you're using VRoid Studio, don't export from Blender to Unity. There's a plugin called UniVRM that can import VRM files straight to Unity. I've made a tutorial on it right here: th-cam.com/video/IrIn9wRYqUI/w-d-xo.html In general, changing hair is very easy. Just like the method I explained in the video, all you need to do is to find the hair material and swap the texture used inside.
I realy love your tutorials iam not artist so i can't make my own character but with your videos about Vroid i can create awesome character easy , but i wish if you can do a tutorial about createing some fantasy clowth in photoshop and use them in vroid unity model
Glad I could help! However, I'm not an artist. My background is mostly on programming. It will be one huge leap for me to do an art tutorial, but it's not impossible. All I need is time 😄😄
Hmmm... As a general rule of thumb, as long as the clothes model are the same, it's still possible. You can just make the sleeves texture transparent, and swap the texture.
Short answer: I think you just missed something while writing the script. There's a link to the Pastebin page in the description where you can copy-paste the entire script. Or you could also download the project on GitHub. Long answer: When you write a function, you must declare what kind of return type you need. *void* Function() means that you don't want to return anything *int* Function() means that you must specify what to return at the end of the function with *return value* I highly recommend you to check out some programming tutorials on the Unity Learn website. It's very informative and easy to follow!
Unfortunately, I don't think so. Unless VR Char supports custom scripts or through some mods. But I never tried this on VRChat either, so I hope it does 😄😄
By any chance do you know how I can give my character derp eyes? Like once facing up and the other down? I cant seem to find anything that helps me ToT
Uhh.. I don't know what exactly you're trying to do though... I thought the tutorial has told you everything I knew. If you get a bit more specific, I might be able to help.
@@ReForgeMode Oh sorry. Basically Im making a VTuber model to stream with. I want to have a blendshape or toggle that I can press that will make it seem like my VTuber has a demon form or serious persona. I guess Im asking can I input the animation you used in this vid into my Unity project.
@@twelvyvisionz7637 Hmmm... I am not familiar with Vtubing software. I am more into the game development side of VRoid. As far as I know, Vtubing software doesn't support custom shaders. So maybe you might want to start looking for some modding in Vtubing software.
@@ReForgeMode Its basically the same. Unity but that animation controller is what I need. When she switch forms. Your line of work is actually more way more complex. I need the animation controller of that to import into my unity project.
Hi I'm hoping to make NFTs for in game use. Do you know any way to do that in blender? I've been toying with a blender add on called blendmynft but it doesn't support outputting vrm files.
Oh... It depends whether you're trying to make NFT of your own original model or from models in VRoid marketplace. There are different plugins and applications for that.
Unfortunately, no. Blendshapes are settings that manipulates the mesh position, size, and shape of an object. Very useful in facial expressions to represent the muscles of the face contracting and extending in different animations. Blendshapes can't change textures. Theoretically, there's a way to do it, where your model hides the second clothes mesh inside their model. Useful if your character has wings in their second phase, but clearly not practical for just plain clothes. You would need to remodel the character for that in Blender.
