How to set up PCSS?

[jaxoy]

@picturesque somehow with these steps i somehow mess up, idk how, videos r my only way to understand something or taught through it..

[Bluuuu]

@jaxoy I can only get PCSS to work if I disable VRCFURY and NDM/Modular Avatar on Import. Which means I can't use either when constructing my avatar..which I never do nowadays XD PCSS is buggy with VRCFURY/MA for me. If you have the issue I have where it works on scene but doesn't in play mode nor in VRChat then that is probably the culprit.

@Bluuuu i have the excact same problem, it works in scene, but not in playmode & vrc, do u know how to fix it?

The tab "nHaruka" no longer shows up, anyone know what's causing this? I have reimported it many times AND started a new project with it.

If talk about PCSS for liltoon - old versions of PCSS is not working anymore with liltoon version past 1.10.3. You need latest version of PCSS.

@Shiro_Neko

Tried this, and it worked! Thank you so much!

I changed my avi height and now my lighting flickers, any way to fix this?

[DarkSky]

@AnonyMelonyz I know this reply is late and probably not needed, but in case anyone has issues with PCSS lights flickering on the avatar when putting your height past 1.50m in VRChat: that is normal and intended because of how PCSS is optimized.

You have the option to disable this though at the cost of getting some slightly worse performance: first of all, go to your Hierarchy and go to [Your Avatar] -> SelfLight -> AimSphere -> PhysBoneBase -> Sphere -> Spot Light. This object has a "Light" component on it, keep it there.
Now go to your Assets in the folder view, and open the nHaruka -> PCSS4VRC folder. You'll find a file called "ShadowCullingOff". Now drag this file onto the "Light" component of the "Spot Light" object you found earlier. You have to drag it exactly onto the top bar that says "Light" by the way: you won't see any changes directly, but this basically turns off the optimization that PCSS is applying.

Again, I'm posting this just in case anyone looks this up in the future and finds this thread ahahah

Hi, I need help with the PCSS plugin! Please help me!
When I import PCSS into Unity and run it in the Editor, everything looks perfect. But once I upload the model into the game, the screen starts flashing badly—it’s really scary, and I have to turn it off immediately.
In other test models, the result becomes extremely dark, even though I really love the look of PCSS.
Is there any other solution I can try? I really need help!

so far everytime I import PCSS, the nHaruka doesn't pop up, I use to use it so I know like how it's supposed to work, its just simply not popping up anymore.

[kaite]

my nharuka pops up on my toolbar.. but the menu isn't in my avatar even when I set up properly and the lighting isn't working either.

what i'am doing wrong liltoon 2.3.2 pcss lil 8.4.2, with PCSS 9.0.6 same issue, tried liltoon 2.1.0 with 9.0.6. i'm using vrcfury and modular.

@edit nevermind it was SPS lolipop. i just needed to exclude these.

[sasaki]

@Ketsu_ I dont know why it s not working but you can use realight instead of pcss because you are using liltoon,... Maybe it can do the same job -_- without ur issues .

[SoftBunny]

'w' this hurts my brain reading it, i hope someone makes a video tutorial

[xgum]

yea i imported the damn thing and followed the usual instructions to a T but still not seeing pcss appear in scene, im play mode, or in the game. tried many times.
