Problems with Meta Avatars SDK (v31.0.0)
I've been trying to set up new meta avatars for a multiplayer application using the latest version available (Meta Avatars SDK 31.0.0) using the "Auto Marchmaking" and "Networked Avatar" buildingbloc...
SOLUTION: Meta released an update to the Meta Core SDK on Friday to v71. For some reason Unity is not showing an update is available, but if you click on it, you do see the option to update. The update specifically fixed a Fusion bug and I can confirm it fixes the issues and seems like the NetCode solution is also working!!!!
Hi Aelithe,
I had the same issue today using the Photon Fusion version of the avatars (Meta SDK v71), but I was able to easily fix it. The issue is related to the avatar preset package which seems containing only 18 models (.glb files), as shown below:
Then, to prevent the scripts looking for non-existent files I simply changed the "Preloaded Sample Avatar Size" value from 32 to 18 in the "Avatar Spawner Fusion" script (that is attached to the "[BuildingBlock] Networked Avatar" gameobject), so that it randomly picks up an avatar from the existing range.
I think you can find an equivalent script with a similar property in the Netcode version of the avatars.
Hope this helps.
XeniaDev: Thank you very much for your solution! The avatars are now displayed reliably.
With the last Meta XR All-in-One SDK, a switch to OpenXR Hand Skeleton was also suggested, as OVR Hand Skeleton will be deprecated.
Following that with exchanging the building blocks and using the Migration tool, the avatars are not animated anymore.
It works only with the old OVR Hand Skeleton selected in the camera rig.
Did anybody encounter that problem? Or should we wait for some updates?
Can confirm I ran into this issue too regarding animation with new hands. No solution on my side yet.
