dropp the male if you haveee

VRModels, the fbx is just the meshes no texture its not just EVERYTHING. spp allows you to edit textures easily or make your own texture using painter which you need specific file for i guess. you can have an fbx with no texture. but you cant have a spp with no texture.

CrystalCat,
The avatar itself is good enough to be a fallback, use a tool like polytool to reduce the poly count and your set.
When it asks you to autofix the texture thing click ignore, as if you click autofix it will make the top grey instead of black.
Only have to remove a few things, shorts or skirt, belt, and leg straps.
If you don't remove those the polycount is too high and the quest fallback looks ugly.
I managed to make it look actually decent on Quest Green rank.
PC Green rank looks good too, since it's 69,999 polys (1 away from medium).
EDIT: if you know how to do avatar work better, you could just export to blender and reduce polys there too, the tool is far from perfect.

FluffyBear627, can you make custom fallbacks? I've been looking that up for a while ^^

EboyGooberDaddy, Every time I've gotten that error, capturing a picture from the scene to use for the thumbnail instead, or just switching what picture I'm using for the thumbnail usually fixes it for whatever reason.

I try to upload and get this error at the end.

""" VRC.SDKBase.Editor.Api.VRCApi.UploadFile (System.String filename, System.String fileId, System.String friendlyFileName, System.Action`2[T1,T2] onprogress, System.Threading.CancellationToken cancellationToken) (at ./Packages/com.vrchat.base/Editor/VRCSDK/Dependencies/VRChat/API/VRCApi.cs:973)"""

any Ideas on whats going on? I can upload anything else just fine.

I made this into a pc+quest fallback, and also a poor quest, good pc.
uses such little vram, and the download/uncompressed size is also tiny.
so proud of myself.

NotHereForMuchAtAll, According to creator and store page, this avatar doenst come with spp, so FBX is a thing

VRModels, spp files contain texture data already as well as all layers created by the avatar creator during the texturing process... an FBX is just the sculpt.

VRModels, I understand the point. You can, for sure, just import the FBX from the unity scene and import that to SPP to edit the textures. Have done it myself couple of times.

Tho I highly prefer the model to come with the SPP -file, if it is available for that model, because it just makes texturing it so, SO much faster.
You don't need to literally start from scratch since lot of things that doesnt even need to be changed, are already done, like tongue, eyes, inside mouth, hair, nails etc..

notyourmom, That's where you're a bit wrong. Fbx is everything. And it's just as editable as the spp. After all, no one prevents you from uploading it somewhere else.

VRModels, Let's be friends)
If you can write to me on vr models, I can write my nickname in the vr chat.
Are you a Russian speaker?

VRModels, spp is the files that allow you to edit the texture better the fbx is just the model two different things.

NotHereForMuchAtAll, Why do you need an spp? You have FBX.

somehtign uncanny about htisd one

Does this come with a spp file?
