Failed to create Avatar Impostor Prefab
complete
Ghostt
I can't figure out what's causing it, but I have not been able to create an impostor of my avatars for a while now:
(avtr_3460b0a5-b357-4fe5-a670-59c08f135083) &
(avtr_aec76abc-33ec-4513-8c5e-6dd37c5ed4b4).
They have started to fail impostorization after the open beta update where VRCHeadChop was introduced (1431). Before that though, I was able to create an impostor of them just fine.
So far I have tried:
- Uploading without VRCImpostorSettings, VRCImpostorEnvironment and VRCHeadChop components.
- Uploading to a different Avatar ID.
- Removing all custom Animators, Params and Menu.
- Removing all particle systems.
- Making sure the mesh is humanoid.
- Creating a new project without any custom packages.
Before it used to say "An unknown error occurred", but now it says "Failed to create Avatar Impostor Prefab".

My avatar is still unable to generate any impostors consistently after he initial fixes. These are the same avatar IDs I previously posted about.

I can confirm that the specific issue i was having has been solved!

Imposter unable to be created if scale 0 object exists.

If an avatar has a Gameobject enabled in the hierarchy with scale 0,0,0 then the Imposter generating process will fail without giving an explanation.
Such objects were/are often used as part of invisibility toggles in order to avoid an issue where toggling out of invisibility doesn't show the avi.

A fix just went out that should have solved a significant number of impostor failures. Please let me know if anything has improved!

Avatar Failed to Create Impostor for Unknown Reason
jasonw_4331
All of my aDanza Cat-based avatars fail to be turned into impostors without a clear reason for why since December of 2023.
After starting to debug the issue, I've tried to use the VRCImpostorSettings to ignore many different components and configure things more optimally without any luck.
Avatar IDs are the following:
avtr_df7c2b5e-655f-4e21-bafc-c6c4c1bfcd69

Hello! Thanks for reporting this. Is this issue still occurring?

StormRel I have a lead on the issue, it is some aspect of poiyomi's toon shader that's causing it. Although, I don't know what exactly.
