本指南将逐步讲解如何通过 VRChat 创作者助手（VRChat Creator Companion，简称VCC）使用 Avatar 3.0 上传您的虚拟形象。VCC 是 VRChat 官方提供的强大工具，可用于获取最新版本的软件包和工具（包括 SDK ）。

术语表：

• Unity: VRChat使用的游戏引擎
• Unity编辑器（Unity Editor）:  用于上传虚拟形象的程序
• 软件包（Package）： 可添加到 Unity 编辑器中的文件集合，可能包含软件、虚拟形象、着色器或其他 Unity 资源
• 虚拟形象SDK（Avatar SDK）:  VRChat提供的包含基础虚拟形象上传所需全部资源的软件包
• 基础SDK（Base SDK）:  虚拟形象SDK运行所需的必要软件包
  
• VRChat创作者助手（VCC）:  VRChat开发的程序，用于简化 Unity 编辑器和虚拟形象SDK的配置，未来可能支持更多软件包管理

This will bring you to the Project Creation screen. In here, select Avatars, give the project a name, and select a project location.

If you have the space for it, I recommend making this a location on an SSD, preferably even an m.2 SSD, but do note that this will contain your avatar and can grow up to multiple GBs.

The Project Creation Screen

Set up your VCC Project​

Launch Unity Editor​

You will be brought to the Project window. In this window, you can install, update and remove packages to your liking.

An avatar project has the latest version of the Base SDK and Avatar SDK by default, so we don’t need to add anything here, and you can click Open Project.

The Project Window

Import required packages​

Now that you’ve opened your project, we need to import a few UnityPackage packages.

There are three methods for importing a UnityPackage.

There are a few packages which might be required for your avatar to work.

These will usually be described on the avatar’s website or purchase receipt. Some common ones are:

Method 2 of importing a UnityPackage.

Import the packages that are required for your avatar. Generally you can use the latest versions of these packages, except for the Poiyomi shader, use the recommended version for that.

Import your avatar​

Import the UnityPackage you got for your avatar with one of the method described above

Find the scene or prefab of your Avatar​

In the Project Window, there will be a Scene, a Prefab, or both for your Avatar.

If you have a Scene, double click it to open it

If you have a Prefab, click and drag it into your Hierarchy window on the top left.

An example avatar’s Assets layout. The Prefab icon might also look like your avatar in a T pose.

Upload your avatar​

Open the SDK window​

In the top bar, click VRChat SDK → Show Control Panel. This will open the SDK window.

If the VRChat SDK tab is missing, you are either missing some packages or have the wrong version of a package. If you go to the Console window by clicking the text at the far bottom left, the red errors can indicate which package is missing/erroring.

How to open the SDK window.

Log in to the SDK window​

The process from here onwards assumes you are using SDK 3.3.0 or later. Older SDKs will look different and have a slightly different upload process.

Enter your VRChat Username/Email and Password in the required fields and press Sign In.

You will be asked for an authenticator code or an email code, enter this as well.

The SDK log in window.

Upload your avatar for PC​

First, press the Builder button at the top of the SDK Window.

In this window:

Once you’ve done all this, your avatar should be uploaded, congratulations.

The SDK Builder window.

(Optional) Upload for quest​

This step only applies if your avatar comes with a quest version. This is not a guide on making quest versions for your avatar, just on how to upload them.

Find the Quest Prefab or Scene​

Find the Quest Avatar. It should be in the same place as your PC version.

Copy the blueprint ID over to the quest prefab​

Go to the Content Manager tab of the SDK. From there, you can find your uploaded pc avatar and press the Copy ID button.

Then find the Pipeline Manager object on the Quest avatar, paste the ID into the box, and press Attach (Optional).

The Pipeline Manager Component

Now, when you upload the avatar, it’ll connect to the PC version.

The Content Manager view.

Change Build Target​

Select Quest in the Selected Platform dropdown in the Builder tab.

The Selected Platform dropdown.

Upload for Quest​

In the Builder tab:

• Select your avatar from the Selected Avatar dropdown. Make sure this is your Quest version
• Make sure the Selected Platform is Android
• And press the Build & Publish button under the Online Publishing tab
