Change Meta avatar transparency
Hello, I want to make a remote Meta Avatar fade in and out. I can't find a way to make the avatar transparent. I can't find a way to access the mesh render and change the alpha channel. It must be possible as in the documentation they put best practice to fade in the avatar on loading:
Meta Avatars Appearing With Missing Head Or Body In The Unity Editor And On Windows Builds
UPDATE (01/03/2023): As of January 3rd 2023, Loading avatars with federated app ids simply doesn't work. Instead I get an error log saying 'Spec Request Failed'. UPDATE (12/22/2022): I've managed to narrow down this issue to something to do with the way avatars are loaded using federated app credentials. I've made a new post about this here: https://forums.oculusvr.com/t5/Unity-VR-Development/Loading-Meta-Avatars-With-Cross-Play-using-Federated-App-Are/m-p/1010823/highlight/true#M21422 As of the 16th December 2022 we have started seeing incompletely constructed avatars. The Meta Avatar SDK version we are using is 18.0. I have tried updating to 20.0 but still see the same problem. Here are some additional observations.: This does not occur on a Quest build. It happens in the Unity Editor or in a Desktop build. The problem sometimes resolves itself after I make a change to my avatar's look in settings, save the changes and then try reloading the avatar. The problem does not resolve itself by re-loading the user. If a user has the problem, it persists each time the avatar is loaded. Mostly the avatars head is missing, and occasionally only the hands of the avatar entity's LOD4 is visible: Help would be greatly appreciated as it is impossible to launch our product with Meta Avatars if this is not resolved.
Loading Meta Avatars With Cross Play using Federated App Are Missing Their Heads
UPDATE (01/05/2023) As of January 5th users are being loaded via the Federated App Id but instead of missing their heads they now seem to be missing their hair. It would be funny if our product launch was not dependent on this getting fixed. UPDATE (01/03/2023) As of January 3rd Loading Avatars with Federated App Ids simply doesn't work. The User fails to load and I get the error log 'Spec Request Failed'. __________________________________ We've been experiencing problems with the Meta Avatar 2 SDK in our desktop app. I've narrowed it down to a problem with the way avatars are loaded using the federated app id, or cross play as its called in the documentation. Here are the steps to reproduce: Create a blank Unity project which allows you to load an avatar with both your app's regular app Id and its Federated App Id. Load an avatar using the federated app id: you avatar with the Federated app id, it loads fine. Now, in your Quest, edit your avatar. Now load the avatar again using your federated app id. 5. Now try loading the avatar again but this time using the regular app id... The problem persists. The avatar can be made to load correctly if you load the avatar regularly once, make a change to your avatar, save and then reload the avatar.
