Im trying to make an independent asset for an avatar, and im trying to make contacts right now. Starting off, its a nose boop toggle for a clown nose and when pressed it will just squish in and play a sound.

yesterday when messing with this, if i added the layer and parameter for the contact and blendshape toggle to the avatars main fx controller, the contact worked in play mode. nose was pressed, contact triggered on proximity, nose squished with blendshape. then, when i added the same layers and parameters to my fx controller, it didnt. i thought okay, vrcfury full controller on the asset, add my fx controller, it will merge with the main one, done. this didnt work.

problem is now, the merging doesnt work and after i set it up again on the main fx controller, it doenst work at all now. nothing i do works. somehow, even with my layer and parameter on my fx layer and even without the full controller merging it, i can see that the contact is in fact being triggered on proximity in play mode, but the blendshape isnt? how is the contact being triggered without my fx layer being merged? why is it triggering but the blendshape isnt? and i dont think my animation is messed up bc it worked fine yesterday. im so at a loss here.

im new to messing around with having my own fx controller, or more than 1 in general, bc ive never made an asset for an avatar that wasnt added directly to it if that makes sense. any help here is appreciated!! i can provide pictures of my setup or give more details if necessary

Hello, me and my sister play vrchat together and have alot of devices. Both with our pcs (using ethernet) 16 trackers total, and quest pros

We both used quest link and were unable to use steam link because it was crazy laggy until I got my own router. Then I was able to use steam link. Since I got her a quest pro of her own, she needs to use steam link for face tracking. Problem is, steam link is laggy when we are both on.

I got a 2nd router hoping I can set it up to help with this, either having our own individual networks to connect to, or to have one in her room and one in mine, somehow helping with the lag (I know nothing about wifi stuff :c)

Does anyone have any advice for helping with this? Ive heard there's steamvr settings i can change to help, and if anyone knows anything about how i can set up the 2nd router to improve our connection id appreciate it alot

Thanks!

Me and my sister play vr together, we each have 8 full body trackers connected each, both vr headsets, and both pcs

I got a 2nd router hoping I can connect them both to the modem and have 2 separate networks, one for her, one for me, and decrease the ping and lag.

The problem is, I dont know how to do this properly. All the wifi stuff confuses me and im trying my best to learn. I found I can maybe have the 2nd router connected to the first one and have it in access point mode to make sure I eliminate interference between both routers? But from what ive seen that means I cant connect to it with my ethernet cable.

I have no idea how i should set this up. If somehow I can get all of her stuff on one router and mine on the other, or use them to improve the lag and congestion somehow id love that.

Any help is appreciated! Please be detailed with any help, I have no idea what im doing. Thank you c:

Title says it, Id love some help figuring this out!

Context- I was looking into project babble buttttt do i have the patience for MONTHS of waiting? no, i dont. me and my 2 months waiting for my slimes was enough for me lmfao, so im looking into just making it myself

I saw i can do it pretty cheap if i get a high fps, high fov (min like 80fov, aiming for higher than 100) monocrome infrared camera, and the vrcfacetracking software using the babble module.

my questions are, is this right? am i looking for the right camera and will that work properly with the facetracking software? is there any more specifics to know than that? from all im researching thats just about right but i wanted clarification!

do you guys know what camera i may be able to get that does take 2 weeks to ship? i am absolutely impatient and love some good amazon 2 day shipping. im looking for the gc3080 bc a post said thats what to use butttttt everything is like aliexpress which i dont want to order from, or on walmart with the wrong fov and 2 week shipping.

any help would be great! that or any tips from any of yall who have done this before

hello hello, I have a friend who has 1 arm irl and im going to make them a vrchat avatar that reflects that. They asked me about getting elbow trackers and if they would be able to strap it to their nub (which ends right at the elbow) and if it would work. i figured, yeah, sure, i dont see why not so i went to test it. i had a few problems trying to figure this out.

first off, i strapped 2 of my trackers to my elbows and disconnected my left controller and like always the arm goes down to my side and isnt able to move even with upper arm trackers. i figured this would happen but wanted to try it anyway since i dont actually have upper arm trackers and i didnt know how it would work.

i thought perhaps i can adjust the bones on the avatar where the hand bone is at the elbow and set one of the trackers as my hand, so it will think its the controller and not have the arm by my side but that doesnt work

then i thought okay silly idea but if you could mount the controller to your arm, surely that works. i just found its super wonky and my headset had a hard time seeing it although i didnt mess with this option a whole lot.

does anyone have any idea on how this could possibly work? i had such a fun time making this person a 1 armed rec room item and if i could make them a vrchat avatar and figure out how they can move their nub it would be awesome. im gonna continue to mess around with it but any ideas are really appreciated!!
