VRChat - OSC Avatar Color Changer (Preset System)

12 ratings

An easy to use system to pick colors for your avatar´s eyes, hair, clothing, accessoires, effects, etc. from the HSV color space. Create and save presets with your favourite combinations and activate them using OSC.

Ther color changer comes with a unity package containing a setup wizzard. It lets you create all required animations, parameters and layers for your animation controller.

The wizzard also detects any existing setup on your avatars. Change parameters, names and animations without having to touch the animation controller.

The wizzard will provide you with a finished config file, you can use to setup the OSC app via drag and drop.

The synchronization is handled by the animation layers created by the setup. They take care of assigning the right color to the right item, locally as well as for every other player.

The last active preset is also saved by your avatar, meaning you only need to activate a preset once (It stays after a game restart or an avatar change).

Define up to 80 individually colorable items, by only using 15bits of synchronized parameter memory.

Use the full power of the HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) color space, to create unique color combinations.

You don´t have to stick to predefined or keyframed colors.

The app supports multiple configs for different avatars.

Create, edit, duplicate color presets, that can be activated by a single click.

No need for navigating through dozens of color settings, to get to the desired look, you can´t even save for reuse.

The OSC app only needs to be open when you want to change a preset. No need to have it constantly running in the background.

When you apply the setup and close Unity, the generated expression parameters will disapear.A workaround is to open the expression parameters after you applied the setup, check and uncheck an option of a parameter (doesn´t matter which one) then save.This will ensure that the parameters stay.

You may use this for your personal and public projects (both free and commercial).
