Custom Avatars Not Orienting Properly During Motion. #3874
-
|
Our custom avatar, literally just happy blobs with faces, enter a Room facing one direction (the direction they were facing in Blender) but never rotate or orient themselves to the direction of travel one would expect when moving. Should I expect them to? Non-custom avatars seem to orient themselves toward the direction of travel. CAVEAT: I only know this because I'm placing a camera and can tell that I'm not oriented the way I should be facing after moving. |

When you create an avatar using Blender, you'll need the avatar's 'front' to face toward the negative Y direction. This will ensure that it will face the 'right' way in Hubs. In Blender, negative Y is designated by the viewport gizmo's green dot with no line. The other thing to make sure of before you export to .glb is that your model's transformations (position/rotation/scale) are all reset. In other words, Position should read 0,0,0, Rotation 0,0,0, and Scale 1,1,1. |

Good to know. I gave up using custom avatars since I didn't have time to
troubleshoot but I'll visit this again later. I don't have any rigging in
my model, it's literally just a deformed sphere with a texture map on it
to make a "blobby"-like character.

Hello! Thank you for this reply! I tried it and it still wasn't working,
and @CrimsonZA <https://github.com/CrimsonZA> on Discord was able to help
me by also removing all rigging elements from the Blender model file I
believe. Thanks again!

Thanks for this! CrimsonZA on Discord was able to help me and told me the model has to be at 0,0,0 (not just applied there) in order to rotate correctly |

If they are not, you can select the offending meshes and type
CTRL+a, then select whichever items need resetting.
