How to merge these models, Manuka

picturesque

From what I can tell, all you do is drag the manuka's parts scene into your hierarchy and use that as your model's base. Hopefully, this helps.

@picturesque but how do i merge it with the rest? i want to use the clothes and other parts from the original.
ive kinda archived that by bringing the prefix into the original charcter but now it kinda overlaps and some thinks poke throght the clothes (pics will follow)

picturesque

I can see what you mean, What I found is that if you set the apron and the nameplate breast_big blendshape to 15, it seems to do the trick, hopefully this helps yah out.

edit*** if yah know how to make toggles/use Vixen, you can just go to the body's blendshape and set the Chikubi to 0 when wearing clothing

@picturesque what do i gotta do? i have 2 different setups.
one of them was merged with some combining software? the avatar assembler.
i can use either the nude modell as the base or the non nude one.

the second option is to just drag and drop the nude prefab into the file tree (in the first layer.)

^(the way unknowing me assumes looks the most prommesing) ^

I have also made some modifications to the other (non nude avatar) so the face has grabbable cheeks and stuff.

if i assamble with the nude modell as the base the nude stuff stays but the effects and so i think the face modifications are gone. the other way around if i base it on the non nude part.

so i guess the one with the drag and drop is the best option?

with what option should i go?

the forum for some reason does not all my images for some reason.

in case of Discord beeing more confortable to you i will leave my name here : hbanan737

PS, this is the visual bug : c754a813-c1b3-42d3-aff9-9e4e6f28ef70-Screenshot (172).png

(the nipples show trough the clothing)

hbanana727

@picturesque how do i doo toggles, and what do i doo with the bikini.
(the bikini has a feature where i can pull certain parts out and so stuff (like a boob)

picturesque

To begin, I suggest getting two packages and a dependency:

Modular Avatar
Vixen you'll need to spend $6 for it and cancel the subscription after or find by other means
Haï~'s listing to VCC

Next, once everything is installed using the VCC the bikini should be modular, which should be a easy drag n drop onto your avatar
Then, for the nipples clipping, if you get vixen (I strongly suggest it, it'll make your life 100% easier)
Video tutorial for making a vixen toggle

make an empty object by right-clicking your avatar in the hierarchy, selecting Create Empty, and naming it to clothing
Next on the right side in the inspector, while still having that object you created selected, select add component, and search Vixen control
after go under base settings, select toggle objects, and drag all the clothing into the top section one by one
Last but not least, select change properties, hit the + and drag the Manuka_body from the hierarchy into the box that appears and select Blendshapes
Finally, go to the chikubi blendshape in the list and hit add, and when set to "when active," set it from 100 to 0
ta-da your done making a toggle and rinse n repeat for the bikini if the nipples are clipping through it as well

thats with vixen for the manual way, Ill place the video I learned from ages ago when I first started
Hopefully you find this helpful

p.s. for my suggestion: do all your edits on the R18 base

hbanana727

@picturesque okay, but what about the edits i have already made?
the other modell already has some edits and comes with some clothes.

btw, in case you wanna see the swimsuit
The swimsuit https://forum.ripper.store/post/168821

imma give all of this a chancse tomorrow since it is quite late now. i really appreciate your help tough.
i hope i can make this work some how. or else i will probably need to restart it and start with the r18 as a base.

i have quite a few things im trying to add to it.

i already used modular avatar once to get the swimmsuit on the character, altough it had no r18 base and it was also wearing underwear under it at all times (and there was nothing under the leggins, so that was also a problem)

would it help if i'd link all of the stuff?

picturesque

@hbanana727 I'd say starting over will probably be more ideal, plus everything will be more organized, and you know what you'll be doing to boot lol.

hbanana727

@picturesque i will try, it seems really difficult.

hbanana727

Just a moment...

(www.mediafire.com)

my manuka bulid

hbanana727

@picturesque how do i use it as my base and how do i transfer the apron and the other clotes?

picturesque

@hbanana727
To use it as your base:

in the R18 parts folder,
select a scene within it the unity logo
Double-click it and the base will be preassembled

For apron and other clothing:

Unhide them on the avatar so there's no transfer required.

For the additional clothing:

Set up each outfit with modular
Use vixen to set up the Toggles
Make a vixen folder and call it closet or clothing
Set up Ejects to make it so you can swap between clothing
which you can read up how to use ejects here

hopefully this helps you out

hbanana727

@picturesque the text is grayed out and it doesent seem to be hidden tough?
or is there a second way to hide or unhide something im not aware of?

hbanana727

i found out how to enable these things now. now imma try to fix the nipples

hbanana727

@picturesque so far this has been going grate, thanks a lot for all the help untill now.
my problem now:

the bra stays clipping no matter what i do to the slider.
when i need to fix the shirt (without the bra) i need to make them really big (like 21 or something) and the apron at 19) so if i compare the before and after it looks like a lot of air.

is there any way i could fix that (at least the underwear)

picturesque

@hbanana727
for the first problem

If you're using Vixen:

make a toggle for the clothes
set the bra and panty to disable when enabled
by doing so, I'll hide them while the clothing is on.

as for the second problem

when using Vixen:
i'll quote myself from yesterday
If you want it listed instead, here is the comment I got it from

@picturesque said in How to merge these models, Manuka:

after going under base settings, select toggle objects, and drag all the clothing into the top section one by one
Last but not least, select change properties, hit the + and drag the Manuka_body from the hierarchy into the box that appears and select Blendshapes
Finally, go to the chikubi blendshape in the list and hit add, and when set to "when active," set it from 100 to 0
ta-da, your done making a toggle and rinse and repeat for the bikini if the nipples are clipping through it as well

By doing this, you won't need to adjust the clothing to fit the nipples.

If anything is still being shown:

clothing (bra,panty,etc)

hide on the hierarchy

Nipples

In blendshapes, shrink on the manuka_body "chikubi" to 0

hopefully you find this helpful

hbanana727

@picturesque everything worked now! (i will just live with the slightly bigger breasts witch is only in the original outfit a problem.)
does vixen also have the ability to swap materials? i looked for it on the tools guide/website but they had no good awnsers.
i would like to toggle between 4 different skin textures.

picturesque

@hbanana727 Sadly, no. For now at least you would have to make an animation for it and make a radial puppet toggle to house that animation. It'd be kind of confusing/difficult to explain in text, so here is a tutorial on how to do it. hope this helps

hbanana727

so far this has been going grate, thanks a lot for all the help untill now.

thanks, it kinda worked. altough it broke to much other stuff so i can not use it.
thank you for all your help. im done with the character now.
