Issues Importing Meta Avatars SDK Samples v24.1.1 to Unity
Hi, How do I import the samples for Meta Avatars SDK v24.1.1? I'm trying to import the samples for Meta Avatars SDK v24.1 and All-in-on v62. However, the the Meta Avatar SDK Sample Assets folder in Packages and the Oculus folder in Assets only consist of some empty folder and zip files. No prefabs, no scenes or anything. The MetaAvatarsSDK menu also does not provide anything useful. I have followed the instructions on the website. I'm completely stuck on what the issue can be. I have tried on v24 as well. The Meta Avatars SDK folder contains scripts but the core assets are inside a zip folder. I have tried on multiple fresh unity versions, and multiple separate machines. Anyone with the same issue? Any help would be appreciated.
Meta Avatars Loading Black and White without any textures
I am trying to load Meta avatars as local and remote players in a Multiplayer environment established by photon. I am able to load the meta avatars as local and remote players in one room but my meta avatars are displayed white and black.(i.e with out any shaders or textures). I am trying to instantiate the meta avatar as player when player joins the room using the user id. Below is my code: using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; using Oculus.Avatar2; using Oculus.Platform; using Photon.Pun; using System; public class RemotePlayer : OvrAvatarEntity { [SerializeField] int m_avatarToUseInZipFolder = 2; PhotonView m_photonView; List<byte[]> m_streamedDataList = new List<byte[]>(); int m_maxBytesToLog = 15; [SerializeField] ulong m_instantiationData; float m_cycleStartTime = 0; float m_intervalToSendData = 0.08f; protected override void Awake() { ConfigureAvatarEntity(); base.Awake(); } private void Start() { m_instantiationData = GetUserIdFromPhotonInstantiationData(); _userId = m_instantiationData; StartCoroutine(TryToLoadUser()); } void ConfigureAvatarEntity() { m_photonView = GetComponent<PhotonView>(); if (m_photonView.IsMine) { SetIsLocal(true); _creationInfo.features = Oculus.Avatar2.CAPI.ovrAvatar2EntityFeatures.Preset_Default; //setting body tracking input SampleInputManager sampleInputManager = OvrAvatarManager.Instance.gameObject.GetComponent<SampleInputManager>(); SetBodyTracking(sampleInputManager); //setting lip sync input OvrAvatarLipSyncContext lipSyncInput = GameObject.FindObjectOfType<OvrAvatarLipSyncContext>(); SetLipSync(lipSyncInput); //setting face pose driver SampleFacePoseBehavior sampleFacePoseBehaviour = OvrAvatarManager.Instance.gameObject.GetComponent<SampleFacePoseBehavior>(); SetFacePoseProvider(sampleFacePoseBehaviour); //setting eye pose driver SampleEyePoseBehavior sampleEyePoseBehavior = OvrAvatarManager.Instance.gameObject.GetComponent<SampleEyePoseBehavior>(); SetEyePoseProvider(sampleEyePoseBehavior); gameObject.name = "MyAvatar"; } else { SetIsLocal(false); _creationInfo.features = Oculus.Avatar2.CAPI.ovrAvatar2EntityFeatures.Preset_Remote; //setting body tracking input SampleInputManager sampleInputManager = OvrAvatarManager.Instance.gameObject.GetComponent<SampleInputManager>(); SetBodyTracking(sampleInputManager); //setting lip sync input OvrAvatarLipSyncContext lipSyncInput = GameObject.FindObjectOfType<OvrAvatarLipSyncContext>(); SetLipSync(lipSyncInput); //setting face pose driver SampleFacePoseBehavior sampleFacePoseBehaviour = OvrAvatarManager.Instance.gameObject.GetComponent<SampleFacePoseBehavior>(); SetFacePoseProvider(sampleFacePoseBehaviour); //setting eye pose driver SampleEyePoseBehavior sampleEyePoseBehavior = OvrAvatarManager.Instance.gameObject.GetComponent<SampleEyePoseBehavior>(); SetEyePoseProvider(sampleEyePoseBehavior); gameObject.name = "OtherAvatar"; } } IEnumerator TryToLoadUser() { var hasAvatarRequest = OvrAvatarManager.Instance.UserHasAvatarAsync(_userId); while (hasAvatarRequest.IsCompleted == false) { yield return null; } LoadUser(); } private void LateUpdate() { float elapsedTime = Time.time - m_cycleStartTime; if (elapsedTime > m_intervalToSendData) { RecordAndSendStreamDataIfMine(); m_cycleStartTime = Time.time; } } void RecordAndSendStreamDataIfMine() { if (m_photonView.IsMine) { byte[] bytes = RecordStreamData(activeStreamLod); m_photonView.RPC("RecieveStreamData", RpcTarget.Others, bytes); } } [PunRPC] public void RecieveStreamData(byte[] bytes) { m_streamedDataList.Add(bytes); } void LogFirstFewBytesOf(byte[] bytes) { for (int i = 0; i < m_maxBytesToLog; i++) { string bytesString = Convert.ToString(bytes[i], 2).PadLeft(8, '0'); } } private void Update() { if (m_streamedDataList.Count > 0) { if (IsLocal == false) { byte[] firstBytesInList = m_streamedDataList[0]; if (firstBytesInList != null) { ApplyStreamData(firstBytesInList); } m_streamedDataList.RemoveAt(0); } } } ulong GetUserIdFromPhotonInstantiationData() { PhotonView photonView = GetComponent<PhotonView>(); object[] instantiationData = photonView.InstantiationData; Int64 data_as_int = (Int64)instantiationData[0]; return Convert.ToUInt64(data_as_int); } }
Meta Avatars are nearly useless, and there is no support or documentation.
My company has been trying to implement the Meta Avatars into a game we are developing. As many VR games do, this involves holding many different items in VR with different hand poses. The only example of a custom hand pose, is primitive at best, with the custom pose being 24 transforms with a Skeleton Renderer script. There is no way to model poses accurately, and you can't even see what it looks like with a skin, until you run it. Move a transform the wrong way, and your fingers are a tangled up mess. Meta has spent literally billions of dollars on various software and game development for the Quest, including the Avatar SDK. It absolutely baffles me that there is no available support for it. No good examples, the documentation is extremely lacking. At least give me a hand model or something that can be used to model a hand, other than a pile of bones (vectors). The oculus integration hands look similar, but models are not compatible. Please, someone tell me I am wrong, and I have just been looking in all the wrong places. Tell me there is some actual documentation besides https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/unity/meta-avatars-custom-hand-poses/ Those documents sound like you can just add some joint types to any old hand model and they will work fine.. please show me one that will, because none have worked for us. Every time I search for solutions, all I can find is other people having the same issues. I am about to give up on even using Meta Avatars, because if we can't make the game feel good with them, I'd rather use another avatar solution, or even no avatar at all.
