Does anyone have any idea why vrchat SDK in unity thinks my avatar wip has almost 100,000x as many polys as it does in blender? I'm so lost, I've tried re-exporting the fbx, redoing everything back to applying mirror modifier, and re-making the unity project and it's a consistent problem.
If I re-import the fbx I'm using back into blender, the poly count is correct.
update thank you to @opalsys for figuring it out, I needed to enable read/write in unity...
Oh that's (usually) on the unity FBX import side, enable mesh read and write in unity
Ok, thanks I remember this really vaguely but I have no idea where to do that. Do you know where/at what stage I should look for that option?
Been forever since we touched Unity, but it should be in the import settings on the .fbx file itself in your project
If you've got multiple imported fbx files check each one
Oh, yeah, ok, I found it by clicking on the fbx in the assets browser on the bottom of the window, then looking in Inspector. I'm learning unity by poking around blindly and I had no idea that would show different options than I see when I click on the model in the scene... that fixed it. Thanks
oh that number is exactly the signed int32 limit which makes me think something has actually gone terribly wrong with the software....
it would be extraordinarily unlikely to hit that exact number by chance rather than a bug...
go to your fbx, model import settings, check the unchecked "read/write" box, click apply
edit: to get there, click on your avatar twice so it's orange (the part with the skinned mesh renderer), then click on the object in the "mesh" slot. your projects tab will change to show that mesh. click on the fbx containing the highlighted mesh
