@Indo1234 Feel free to send me a message directly and we can continue there if it's easier.

Indo1234

yeah that will help

Indo1234

um i made a chat so we can continue are you busy atm?

Indo1234

still got a broken avatar here if anyone would like to help me fix it or tell me how to fix it

Indo1234

how does removing a mesh and not touching a single bone break an avatars fbx like how?

zeta.zaza

you get an update on this? this has been a problem forever and ive never been able to figure out how to edit a mesh without breaking a prefab and i was hoping someone would come in to save the day here

zeta.zaza

lol i figured it out the very second after i sent that.

@Indo1234

change the export settings to apply scalings > fbx all

Indo1234

i just use the Cat plugin for blender which uses the unity params for Vrchat when exporting the fbx

zeta.zaza

@Indo1234 oh. huh. cats really makes everything easier doesnt it lol, i feel like the only person on the planet that hasnt ever used it

Indo1234

man you would be the ones that use their brain 90% just opt for the lazy route XD

zeta.zaza

@Indo1234 LMFAO yeah i guess... i've gotten so used to doing everything manually i worry all these tools and addons would just fuck up my process

'Luminus

@Indo1234 ofc its broken if u not duplicate the fbx that u gonna edit on blender

remember to always have a backup if u want to use blender cuz if u replace ur only one fbx with the blender fbx its always gonna be white 100% thats why u always do the blender thingy when u just started makin ur own avatar

for me the fix is if u got broken avatar dont test it or play it on gesture manager just close unity and dont save it go to ur avatar file location and go to temp folder in there u gonna found the prefab backup but if u save / go into play mode ur done fr sure
