Thanks for making me realize all of my work and hours I've put into making models was a giant waste of time ๐
Wait what
^
So all the devs did was nurf art and cause it so the only animations people are going to make are troll animations Iโm disappointed with the vrchat devs I found something I loved and now I canโt make beautiful thing thanks for ruining my favorite game
VRC is no longer playable for me. My internet is too bad to load all the cameras.
the smol ball of light is causing u issues?
Walk into a room with 10 cameras for 10 different people just destroys my bandwidth
VRchat's a little bit more playable for me on my part because I can load into a lagless map as my spawn point
cause i dont think it renders to others
I get 950kb/sec
No, theres a floating puck with a name above it
950kb/sec in 2018
Get some good wifi
what country?
Minnesota, USA
Land of the money hungry
Oh god, yeah. Comcast is so bad I actually use my phone's hotspot for wi-fi
Id pay $200 for anything over 2mb/s
.-.
a month?
Yes
๐
Im paying $60 for dialup basically
In fact, Xfinity/Comcast is so bad to us that our router only works like 1% of the time and the other 99% is it trying to establish the DNS and not being able to
I specifically designed a few animations for an Undertale world that a friend made for battle animations to mimic boss fights and I put so much time into it. And now all the attack sequences I programmed an animated don't show up anymore. I spent DAYS working on it.
Eventually I will cool down, but I feel like thanks to these @#^% spammers and memesters EVERYONE gets screwed over. Because apparently everyone forgot a Block Avatar and Block User feature existed.
I have to block anyone who uses the camera in order to play. This sucks
used to get issues with the router all the time with comcast but then just bought my own
and it works perfectly 
You're a genius
(:3ใโ )
meh x.x VRChat keeps glitching me in certain places and when i switch camera, it will take like forever and sometimes when i toggle on the steamVR menu sometimes happens that my vive controllers goes in tilt like x-x
@vale fog Yeah I'm getting that too.
I hope our internet is a lot better when we move up to New England
The devs killed creative potential for a stupid poorly optimized camera.
i tough that the new update could fix some major issues for vive users ๐ฆ
I'm worried now too, because now the community I am in is falling apart and people are just out right quitting VR chat because their avatars are ruined.
That always happens with new updates
"New controls suck, I'm leaving this game" plays the day after
I know, but you know when people with a strong passion behind their creations they spent a ton of time on just suddenly see their work get dumped on. It hurts them where home is.
yeye
I'm not trying to dump on the update, I'm sure somewhere somebody meant well? Maybe?
But I honestly hope it gets restored or at least increased to where certain peoples work can at least be of acceptable use to them. :<
is the new sdk broken
Doesn't let me upload
for me is ended like: Dark Souls 3 - WTF are hitboxes edition
@feral stump my boi
I want to ask you something really quick
Oh, yeah, he's an admin
fuck.
Big time failure boy
:/
Where do make suggestion
I'd ping Tupper and thank him for the help he gave a few nights ago to me but I can't DM him without adding him, and I don't think he'd add me back
@vale fog #feature-requests
being @ 'd 24/7 must be cancer 
@covert chasm! I'm sorry to ping you, but I meant to thank you a bit back for helping me with the avatar problem I had a couple to a few days ago and I wasn't able to DM you to do so; So, Thank you so much!
I can't blame any admin or mod for being pinged so much, honestly, and I'm trying my hardest not to bug them
@hasty wedge i guess you can't really avoid that with a important role in bigger projects
troo
(I mean, I kinda help with a Pokemon fangame so it's pretty relatable)
did u apply the textures to the material

๐ ฑanned
ouo;
WAN MONTH

Is it true hackers can invade private worlds again?
Everything new related to cameras VR-only?
ye
feelsbadman
So uh, can they?
i would be very carefull with any hacking or security rumors curently
a lot trash talk curently cus they are pissed of by the update
Ah. Lol. Howso
cus the new update brought limitations to the particle system which kind of breaks avatars that are over the limit
and those who invested a god fraction of time into that are understandably anoyed by it
but then again... this is an early access alpha... in other games shit gets wiped inbetween patches all the time 
Is it to prevent people from abusing effects causing game crashes?
not only crashing but generally overusing particles
unfortunately there is still ways to crash as i had to read a few times
So basically
They can still follow you, from an instance to a private one
But they can't just get you in a private one
as in follow into a portal?
Imagine the follow command in runescape
i belive going to your home and from there to the next intance would be a good way to make sure you're private 
Bingo
Because yesterday, there was someone in a never have i ever world that had an emote that if you didn't disable avatars or block him, he would crash your game.
Did you report him
well... yesturday way pre patch 
at least. depending on region
but its stil possible 
Oh on the topic of horrible hackers/crashers.
Be on the look out for a Sans100.
Apparently he can still see you if you block him and steal your stuff private or public.
He also uses some odd things that manipulate interactive objects causing them to crash instances.
Quick question, is avatar uploading still down?
Does he invade private instances? @stiff pivot
He has.
I had him blocked at the time but another friend who did not know him was seeing him.
i have updated 3 avatars an hour ago @austere gulch
The community I am with is trying to catch him on video acting stupid so we can form a convincing case on him.
Good to know Ali
@ruby needle With the new SDK? :\ Mine keeps freezing.
โwatch out for this thing you have no control over anyway even if you did meet it"
K
Catching him on video and getting a good enough case to get him removed is some form of control, but your stupid snarkiness is appreciated.
Welp, time to downgrade my SDK then lul
inb4 hes reading this rn and already prepared a new account ๐
What avatar does he frequently use (assuming it isn't obviously sans)
Where are the camera screenshots saved?
Frequently it is Sans he hangs around Underhub or Snowdin often.
ur picture library
234 already WutFace
@jaunty apex Pictures folder -> VRChat
RIGHT
maybe i shouldnt walk up to everyone and take a picture of them
the screenshots are addicting af
Well, that's because you are addicted to yourself

What does it say
something about some RPers having better relationship than the previous RPer
"Remember. No russian"
so i saw resently someone has the stream cam and their perspective cam going at once, how do you do that? Do you display mirror or some version of it as the game?
@vocal shard Remember, no campaign in Black Ops 4
someone I know is claiming models over 65k tris/polygons are getting deleted from accounts in public instances I want to confirm if this is false information
Who the fuck is gonna have 65k tris
Sooooo many people?
What makes you think that
idk but I just want to know if the guy is wrong cause it sounds false to me
It's still stupid to have that since Unity makes two meshes and you don't have any shape keys at all
I haven't had it happen.
@modest halo i dont belive it but even if it would be true, 20k is the limit if you are over then having them just deleted is actually nicer then getting banned for exploiting limitations 
It sounds like you're new to it is all.
who is new to what
I don't think they delete them
Can't really ban people for poly-count if they don't follow those same rules.
Just saying.
Well, all my models are under the 20k limit.
Not much for me to worry I guess, more of the lag and crashers still.
Materials are the name of the performance game really.
20k is the max MODEL poly's you can uppload without hacking the SDK which is a ban reason
Atlas your stuff, kthx.
it doesnt matter how much sense it makes
thats the limit
its the rule
so respect it
It's a rule that even moderation and development can't follow 100%.
People have trouble creating bones in blender, lmao asking them to atlas their shit is hell
So I'm not worried.
yea but... materials are easy to increase
half the people that play donโt follow it anyways
It's like the nudity rule.
and they make things look so good
You can atlas with cats anyway
I have screenies of mods saying it's tolerated.
cats atlasing sucks
yes it does
@vocal shard I want to see
depending on what instance it is and if all are fine with it it in deed is tolerated Saigo
Not worth it for me
that and I like being able to customize all parts of my model
I just don't atlas
so 20+ materials4life
Nudity is a ban according to TOS and EULA.
I would not have admitted that
But mods say otherwise.
You can use nsfw in private instances
in public instances yes. in private, no
admit what
No, it's a ban, no matter the instance.
being able to hit a + button in blender
Just so we're clear.
The mods are the ones saying it's okay in private instances.
TOS and EULA says no.
it's precedence
As long as mods are ok with it
that is mostly to cover their ass in cases of legal actions tho
TOS and EULA are the contractual agreements.
very loose ones too
if the people enforcing the rule don't enforce it for some reason, that reason is attached to the rule.
There's no reason attached.
It bluntly says no.
If there were exceptions, it should be there.
Just saying.
I mean
Sooo, they should update their documentation.
lets be honest though
it's like weed in states where weed is legal, it's still illegal federally but not enforced.
all the same
Same with poly-count and modifying the SDK.
does anyone actually follow the TOS and EULA to the T
anyone else having large fps drop sinc the patch?
Depends on what world you are in
Pug is bad
if you even have a tick box to flagg your content as NFSW and such in the SDK, then what is that if not a sign that this is a gray area but definitely nothing for public instances
afaik their whole shtick is "don't make other players have a bad experience"
right
they are doing a great job of that themselves
Tick boxes were Unity standard that they now take advantage of.
and lets be honest, there are lots of people who would love to see their waifu in full 3d flat lit naked glory
with a man voice
Traps you mean
I don't think they care
a male playing a female character is not a trap...
right
i have pictures of my nudes
I know it's not a trap
Using trap avatars though
you leave felis alone
thats different
You're right. A male playing a girl ava isn't a trap. He's just a SINNER
felix

Lewd
its my old body
exactly @vocal shard
everyone is a trap regardless of true gender or avatar /s
Well I agree
doesn't trap imply some degree of duplicity
everytime I see a female avatar I assume male
Was just checking up on the rumors about the hacker wars and account theft.
i feel disrespected
Everyone is a trap because we trick the other person into liking us.
ECKS DEE
I think some people just stare at dynamic bones and like you
if you know where I mean
๐ฎ
Undecimated nanachi
Speaking of which i still need to make floating panties
id be happy if nanachi was decimated to 1 poly
I see decimated pansu in the right spots
With eyeballs
and it makes me glad I checked under their skirts
wew
That's why I use short avatars
Nanachi will become ichi-poly
I have an ant sized avatar
you cannot hide from meh
unless your avatar wears pants
then its a goose egg
under my skirt is a wild and wonderful acid trip
As long as the sdk wants you to go

Talking mouth with visemes underneath the skirt, when
Real mouth, a fake.
have colliders on ur hand and dynamics on ur skirt and lift it up and talk
Or both move I suppose
I'd have nightmares for weeks
๐
Hahahahaha
naw thats not how you do it
what you do
is you pick the bones of the bottom of the skirt
But you can be so much long as you wish...
and animate it to reparent to your fingers
question, does anyone know if a hip tracker is worth it? im getting trackers and such at the moment but dont know how viable one for you midsection is...
a talking felix bulge 
thats the proper skirt flip
you have to have hips to have feet
leg movement is god but the real game changer is cause of the hips
that's a general life lesson imo
do you? coulda sworn i saw someone without it...the biggest thing is securing them, i really dont wanna spend 84 bucks for securing them tbh
its either 1 hip or all 3
rubber bands aren't 84 dollarydoos
they are exactly 84 VRCoin
yeah, i might try that, hopefully it works cuz im just gonna 2day the 3 trackers
i'll be salty if they keep falling off lol

i was born as a WW2 destroyer
Tfw was also 14/f/cali at some point
Why you stop being loli?
and suddenly became into the body of a smol grill
Because nobody dates loli
i marry them
oh no

๐ ๐
Loli's are OP
all the lolis in the world are my imouto
Also no a s s
Nobody dates loli because ๐ฎ
Same, can't get too passionate in VRC General

Any physical form with no a s s is a prison
And 3D loli == 2D divide loli

You're loli's are real? Can I have some?
H-hug
Bitch do you even know how annoying little sisters are
but

what if i make you my imouto
Oh my god i had so many fights with mine
then ill have no choice but to call u
If some people have real 2D lolis nobody gonna show that because it's dangerous for loli and you will never give them to other people
She was a fuckin menace that stole shit from me

don't worry, oneesama will take care of everything~

My imouto ran around so much as a loli that we had to keep her on a literal kid-leash
Bitch do you even know how annoying little sisters are
Onichaaaan
She was like a rabid animal
Real kids are like pets. They're cute, but also a pain in the ass, so it's easier just to visit somebody elses
i listen to my imoutos call me oniichan atleast 97859 times a day and my heart goes doki doki everytiem
I'd hug the fucc outta that loli
Of course

She was so active and fidgetty as a baby that she climbed out of her tall chair wrong once; i came into the room and she was almost choking to death on the table


it was fun
o
And needed stitches for head
She will be immortal when she grows up
Ah, i hate imouto sometimes
just building that immunity system
I haven't had younger sister, but I've met somebody elses little sister and she was such a pain
Well she isnt much better as a 24yo imouto now
Loool
Recently she fell off a ladder lmaoo
oooooooooof

due to not wanting to make something canon and ruin the current creative works from the fanbase from setting it to stone i cannot answer that question and it can only be revealed through proper research and from the clues since the very beginning thank u for the understanding

That feeling someone calls this chat obnoxious
aw, rip
At least you can enjoy the good avatars
ill sell u a rift + 3rd tracker for 320$ 
Better buy vive
Smug aint included so it aint a good deal then
it has my scent tho that alone is over 200 VRCoins
could give it to perfume lab and make millions
Does it have an extra 100 VRCoins

so much for the new particle limits :v
took all of 30s
to figure out how to remove them
didnt know nimbo was micheal
just wondering, where do screenshots taken with the camera go?
hmm, they are not there
๐ค strange
let me check
You mean new stream camera?
aaa there they are, thank you!
all g!
im constantly moving and i cant access the menu or stop
i cant seem to find any help docs on the new movment controls
vr, desktop wasnt changed
hmm it says it's classic by default dont know whats wrong
classic vive controls were the controls from like a month or two ago
advanced is the one that we've been using since then
I had that on desktop yesterday too
That i would just randomly run forward
And it didnt stop
Coldfront isn't showing up in the world list, is it down for updates or something?
It is down for updates, yes. ๐
@covert chasm hey my dude, what's this ?
https://i.gyazo.com/thumb/1200/4ff8b5d96eb531398a330c2452e227e4-png.jpg
someone posted that in Avatar channel, i didnt see anything about it
It is an internal component that users cannot use-- ignore it for now ๐
So we get a new camera and own home AND mirror as well? And the camera works like the one in avatar testing!!?? On nice so i have no reason to leave my home...just like irl except to work....And i have no reason to go to avatar testing to make new friends =D......I love this game <3!!
Well web panel input is broke...
alright
Where do I give my feedback for this garbage particle system update
Kizzy it's being looked at and tweaked just wait it and and give the devs time to adjust it lol
They have been bombarded today about it lol give em a bit of slack lol
@true timber Here if you want to tell them that they are garbage, that the game is dead, etc etc
https://vrchat.canny.io/bug-reports/p/particle-system-limiter-feedback
Calm down and stop overreacting.
It's just a bit overboard atm >.<
Needs tweaking
Tho the fox in general is needed just needs to be adjusted like between friends and stuff
So it's less harsh if your a friend or something
Tupper himself literally said numbers are up for changes.
And you don't have a valid ground to complain about what the devs did anyways.
making a toggle change is a much more efficient tool for both optimization issues and creativity purposes
limiting particles limits the community
toggling them makes both streamers and memers happy
It's basically having a problem of 100 flies in a china house, and you use a sledgehammer and kill one fly but break a bunch of china in said house. Still killed at least one of the flies. Missed the 99 others. And also broke the china in said house. :v
yup
toggle those flies away
no harm done
set up a similar system to the safe mode
An idea I was considering was rather a maximum limit in the world itself
which already turns off particles
where once it hits said cap, new ones wouldn't be spawned
Yes but it's not that easy to implement toggles like that atm so it more likely would be easier to implement it to not deleate particals from friends lol
Just give them some feedback or mabye even the avatar I'd so they can do testing and give them some time to adjust and change things
Why not have the limit in public worlds and no limit in friend and invite instances?
Also people don't seem to get it's not a finalized decision/numbers
it's always up for changes, as VR Chat always is in general
^
and something people should be aware of is
vrchat isn't their own game, it's the devs'
You guys are suggesting idea's that are insane to code most of the time...
They could do it yes, but they can just as good set limits on other things, and raise them on others
the devs can change stuff however they want
Bitching here does not change anything at all
the time/money/effort you put into various fancy things in the game
is irrelevant
sure, it sucks to lose it
the devs still weren't in the wrong
Lol they already have tons to work with and litteral avatars from users with particals from testing
Spamming a upvote Isint gonna help atm lol
sure, the solution they put in was still heavy handed
i'm not here to bitch about anything i just want to get the toggle-system some attention
Oclac - bad cop
Me - good cop
Then throw it on the canny
Hype for my occulus rift :) 2 more days
and have peeps vote on it
The devs are aware of the actual issues, k thx
I suppose people just like to complain. It is pretty fun to do so every now and then tbh, but it never is productive.
problems won't get attention without anyone complaining
Toggle system probably won't happen proforce
It's to much to implement right now and to hard
As said it will most likely be a system based on friend so the limiter won't affects friends
is it me or the update made everything laggy especially when looking at a crowd or a mirror
@gusty adder "stop overreacting" lol, seriously? Do you know how many people spend weeks upon weeks making awesome looking avatars with particles that are now completely useless?
People complain about the wrong things and without offering constructive feedback.
Luckily it seems most people hate this change and have given feedback.
they already have a toggle system through the safe mode function though
That's on them to spend all that time.
The restrictions sound harsh, but can't you combine them or something?
That's on them?
On a still new game that's always being changed.
That's their problem, not the devs'.
are you kidding me LOL
the people using the hacked clients have already made their own toggle system to escape those with crashing particles
They voluntarily chose to spend that time knowing the game could be changed at any time.
It's simple logic.
are you trolling right now or are you actually serious with this nonsense
???
15 hours of the same arguments now
If you go into someone else's sandbox and build a fancy 20 ft tall sculpture with your own time, effort, and money, good for you?
A bigger issue atm is the performed drop in this update
Aswell as adjusting the partical limited and changing it for better
Lol so calm down and just wait it out it won't be like this forever wow guys >.<
You don't get to complain at the owner of the sandbox if they destroy it by putting a ceiling 8 feet above the sand to protect it from rain.
the game is built around having a community, i don't see your logic here
My only problem with it is that they decide the limits. As in, I should be able to disable the restriction for myself if my computer can handle it.
Just like games have an "Ultra" setting
It's literally just a first step measure, @vocal shard
The cameras are like, almost exclusively the cause of performance issues atm
Tupper said numbers and whatnot are all up for discussion
@light osprey People got a lot further in chat last night here when they gave proper explanations, with good idea's and feedback and posted them on the canny then the animation community 'raiding' the discord screaming at staff
Alright, so lets say your account gets permanently banned for no reason tomorrow Lilirin
Like they cleared up misunderstanding while giving proper fixes then
Even people who never touched avatars understood why it was a problem then
Guess you're shit outta luck, you could have been banned at any time, your fault
Instead of saying "Fix X and do Y'
Okay so let's say the world randomly explodes tomorrow for no reason, Kizzy
Yeah, I know. And it's not a bad idea, I just think that players should be able to choose to display all particles. Others would be able to crash me, but I'm fine with the risks so why not let me?
Why is x shit and does not work
Why would Y work
The Pug was already poorly optimized but if even one person turns on a camera itโs like 30 fps
Your argument is meaningless, in fact it's the most ridiculous thing I've heard in weeks. It's the animation community's fault for not predicting that the game devs would completely screw them over?
To be honest, I think restrictions on public worlds should stay anyway to discourage abuse of those systems. No restrictions on friends and invite worlds make sense and the ability to toggle should be implemented anyway since even in friend/invite instances not everyone can handle it.
It's not your game. It's not the animator creators' game either. The devs can do whatever they want to do to their game, and it's fully in their right to do so, and they are not wrong for doing so. They are ESPECIALLY not wrong for doing so when literally the only thing they said regarding particles and particle systems is that it was allowed. Not how many, not limits, etc.
The devs can change around values and such whenever they want. Particles and particle systems still work just as before, but in a capped amount now.
Cameras and mirrors in general lag it if they're not made properly
If you don't like that, don't invest that much time into a continually changing and still developing game where they haven't given a concrete defined word they won't change certain things. Which they won't, because the game will still be continually developing and changing.
Yeah, the new streamer cameras are having some issues
jesus christ
Even if you thinkthe devs have all the right to do it and the animators have no reason to be angry at them.
They still should have applied a better fix for problems then they have right now. Most of what they wanted has not been solved while the still highly optimized avatars and simple but good looking animations are borked
the lack of common sense
I mean yeah that's something I acknowledged
it's a heavy handed fix that didn't fix most of the issues
They also have the right to scrap the project, but it would still be wrong lol
ie, trying to kill 100 flies in a china shop with a sledge hammer, killing 1, and breaking a good bit of china
It also broke plenty of small non ages spend things
But then you also should agree they can be angry about it but should not just flat out yell and instead suggest fixes, make reports of what limits are reasonable and ect instead?
If people want to be upset, be upset it's heavy handed and offer actual fixes, or how to not 'break the china' by offering better solutions that would specifically target certain issues.
Don't be upset that the devs put in a measure in the first place to try and counteract particle abuse in the first place that didn't go well.
My idea is just that, like videogames have an "ultra" graphics settings which basically means "bring it, I have the hardware", VRChat could have a setting so that you can see all other players particle effects if you're okay with the risks
Yeah, that could work. Basically a client side cap to the world you're in where it caps out particles/other such particle related effect properties at a certain number.
IE, if you're at the lowest setting and there'd be more than X amount, any past X don't show/spawn for you altogether or such.
I am far from sure myself about what im about to say but
That kind of sounds like something that would take months to develop
Yeah, that's also the issue.
@ supposed
Development takes time and effort and money and human labor and resources :v
Saying stuff is a lot easier than actually coding it in
when coding it in will also usually introduce ~10-30 new bugs
True, but this one shouldn't be very difficult to program
It would be the best fix
Even for worlds and ect to have settings for most of these things
Of course, it depends on how it's made
https://youtu.be/JWFc75LIMbM anyone know this world name by any chance?
The trick is getting Unity to play nice with ideas
So is there gonna be optimization done on the game?
This update realyl has put a huge damper on FPS
I don't think the current limit is done in Unity? Otherwise it would only apply to new avatars and not current ones
I imagine theyโll fix whatever is causing the performance issues that were introduced with the patch
Yeah
But I wouldnโt expect much more optimization this early in development
Few buddies of mine are unable to play and I am even restricted to certain rooms now with streaming
I believe most of the FPS issues are related to cameras
esp. with multiple cameras out
@worthy swan did they try the things in #vrchat-support
Well, active cameras mean that much more is rendered. Is it really a bug?
wtf
i formatted my computer
nowit says i cant upload my avatars because i havent had enouhg play time
because
i upgraded my computer
I would say probably a bug because it should only be giving a performance hit to the people using cameras
Playtime is stored locally now?
it always was
Join a private world and minimize the game for a good 10 hours I guess. Or edit the playtime file, wherever it is
anyone here seen infinity war?
if i understand what u mean
ihave 120+ hours
wtffff
I never knew about the avatar uploading limit
That seems to be new. I've heard of atleast one other user had issues with their playtime not being recognized. Do email "support@vrchat.com" and let them know what's up
Like they had 400~ hours played, or so they claimed, and that definitely should be enough. So obviously in some cases it doesn't work properly
what's the playtime requirement
Personally I have no clue to be honest
i uploaded my avatars the other day
It sounds like it's clientsided when it shouldn't be
๐คท
But unless you have a fresh account and you've clearly been around for a while, email "support@vrchat.com" and tell them about the issue and give as much info you can
ok
how do you access the pictures taken with the camera?
thanks
I liked stress testing while watching my avi dance.
xD
Can we get a .ini file for screenshot locations?
I'm low on space on my C drive, so I'd like my screenshots on my secondary.
Steam does the same thing, btw. When I save a VRChat screenshot, I get two (one in c/users/pictures/vrchat, and one for Steam, but I forgot the path. Some "sync/cloud" shit)
wait, is the camera really causing fps drops?
i doubt it's the only thing
but it definitely does cause fps drops when multiple are out in a world
That's what cameras do, render stuff. But it shouldn't cause lag unless it's in use
i feel like it shouldn't be causing anyone except the person with the camera out lag too
like if 3 people have their cameras out and i don't, it doesn't seem like i should get a performance hit
True too. Aren't they clientsided? Does it really affect everyone?
seems to
Everything is client side beside some part of the camera
No idea what part was not again but eh
If it does affect everyone, it will get fixed soon
the only part that actually shows for other people is the lens
but i definitely notice a framerate hit when multiple people are using cameras
That's interesting. It will definitely be fixed though
"we don't want to allow global cameras because they lag people"
Create local camera that can still lag people.
But the important question is, can I use it for upskirts?
yes
I currently have no complaints
first thing i tested ๐
You're a man of culture
woo can i use it for upskirts lmao
everyone used the camras in the werewolf game lol
here's my issue with the cameras
why can't i grab it and move it by the selfie stick attachment?
because they are still working on it
KNOWN ISSUES
- Buttons on the camera can be difficult to select (hold the camera while you select buttons)
- Camera extender is difficult to grab (point your hand towards the camera to grab more easily)
- Nameplates above cameras are not toggleable
- If you have a camera held in your hand and disable the camera, it will prevent you from grabbing things with that hand. Disable the camera while it is not being held.
- If you have your "Mic Defaults On" setting unchecked, your microphone will be muted when you enter a new world
Lmoa
ikr xD
Not as bad for me, not perfect, but manageable.
i really like the easy selfies though
I just got to take more screenshots on top of my already 589 screenshots already taken
More and more limitations being put on avatars. This sure is fun
It does?
I have over 4k screenshots
I don't see it
Famous boy zarni
Suprise fanart is pretty sweet, not gonna lie
Lucky you
Ghost get someone to draw fanart for you 
No one is gonna do it for free these days unless Im famous
Boy we should start streaming more
Or well i should start and you need to do it more ๐
Do it today?
I first have to set things up then xD
and big odds i will never stream VRC
Hardware issue?
Kinda but also dont want to
Watching a stream in Vr that is watching a chat of another stream while in Vr that is playing a game in VR

I am friends with a lot of talented artists, but man, never expected this
Maybe you could introduce me to them, ya know what I mean ;)
Her VRchat name is Lhannan, that's all I'll say. She also made "Fish Person's Cove" in VRchat, check her shit out.
Shit? ๐ค
Only the best shit ๐ ๐ ๐ฏ ๐ ๐ ๐
In all seriousness, she does make wonderful stuff. She made all the assets in her world herself
Got huge respect for that
I assume she is a well known person then. Which means a rather big circle of freinds which then means I wont be able to aproach her.
So, I have a plan. I'm going to try and put a Soldier 76 facemask and jacket on an Ooka base model.
I don't see why you couldn't?
well, personal skill is going to be the main limiting factor. lmao
the mask is easy, i've already separated a face mask from soldier for my current model
I meant what Ghosto said
i'm unsure of my own skill when it comes from separating clothes from meshe- oh
that makes more sense haha
<.<
i was happy with the results of separating the mask from the main model
probably the trickiest thing i've done so far
It's nice, I wanted to be able to do like people do with their helmets where they can remove them with a gesture and they appear in hand
took a solid few hours
oh
isnt that where you always have a helmet in one hand at all time but its invisible, but when you press a gesture it appears and the other one dissapere?
yeah
the issue was that with the original model, the mask was part of the same mesh as the rest of the body
so i had to go through and make sure i selected each vertice to split it out
... vertex*
actually, i think adding a blink viseme to the other eye of the model was harder than that tbh
because selecting all of the eyelid + eyelash vertices without grabbing the eye beneath was a nightmare
i bet
Well I'm not good when it comes to big groups of people
https://i.imgur.com/d9gc3br.png
Here's a tip if you want to seperate meshes. Click on "face select" so you're viewing the faces, mouse over the part you want to seperate and hit L. Then on the far left side you can click on normal, material, seam... to finetune your selection
And especially if I tried to get someones attention, in a big group, i wouldve miserably failed
i'm weird in that regard -- i'm super okay going into a packed public space, but i have too much anxiety to join friends in a Friends+ world because I won't know anyone else there and feel awkward
just select your polys, hit space, type seperate, press enter, done
to seperate a mesh
hmm, this face selection might have helped. the main issue was getting the eyelids and eyelash without accidentally getting the eyeball too
you can also select bunch of faces and press H to hide them temporarily
ALT+H unhides
In case they're in the way
but i also don't understand how to do blender very well, clearly, because sometimes i have issues selecting vertices. like i have to angle the camera just right to grab some of them.
i dunno if that's just an issue with my selection mode or what
Sometimes you might have to select a face/vertex where you are working and press the dot on your keypad to focus in on that area
man, i should look into blender shortcuts
yeah definitely. i barely know what i'm doing with blender
It took me about 2-3 weeks playing around in blender until I got comfortable enough to say I've learned most of the basics
yeah, my current methodology is to watch a few tutorial videos, then mess around in it
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFt_AvWsXl0fEx02iXR8uhDsVGhmM9Pse
The first 3 videos helped me out a lot when I started out
You get to see the shortcuts he uses in the video too
You get to learn some basics on how to operate blender too, like camera controls and such
Man I havent done anything apart from decimation, eye tracking and visemes in blender. Me be so bad
hey, that just means you haven't needed to do it
Im happy enough with my avatar so far
i'm incredibly happy with mine
Good to see the bug where I get kicked out of servers is still a thing.
I just added a sword and a mask in unity. Idk what to even do in blender
And a brand new bug.
I'm... a strobe light or something. What is causing this I wonder
yeah, I added my ears and tail in Unity
I'd like to go back and add it in Blender instead, to save on performance
What shaders are you using, Brandon?
No.
Like most of the other "people can do this and that to your account/computer," it isn't real.
of course it's true, they can get anything they want.
they can even download your RAM and take your GPU for themselves. /s
some other people were having issues with cubed shaders earlier too
yes
just some dumb people starting to spread rumors to make everyone panic
especially streamers
^
mostly because some streamers used bad passwords and their avatars got deleted
Slam your head on your keyboard to have a secure password.
pro tip abc123 shouldn't be your password for anything >.>
Pfft. Holding down Q until the password box doesn't accept more input is the way to go. I did this for Runescape as a kid
random question btu anyone else getting stuck at "Processing Upload" when uploading an avatar?
I am using the new sdk..
@earnest harbor detaching your blueprint works, if you don't mind losing your avatar's screenshot
i mean you could redo the screenshot, but if it's a complex one
Take a screenshot of the screenshot, make that a material of a plane, take a screenshot of that screenshot.
that's... really smart, actually
bah
but yeah, detaching my blueprint let me upload very quickly
:thinking:
I have 5 emitters on an avatar, now only one works.
I'm guessing that limitation was to limit it to one emitter...
If it was per emitter, people could just bypass it by making like 50 emitters
Unless they made a limit of emitters too.
Where are the photos that the camera takes stored at?
In your pictures folder under VRChat
Awesome thank you.
Yesterday after the update i tried my avatars and the emitters were working, but after a few seconds they ran out of juice and were spitting only one particle from time to time
Hiya
@vocal shard hallo
My friend spent a week on making a really cool energy sword and it does not activate anymore even though he edited it following this guideline. So many of my friends are just straight leaving because they feel like the devs "saying they fixed particles" are more like spitting in their faces for all the hours of hard work they put into making really cool stuff.
What kind of energy sword?
It was a really cool plasma sword that emulated the same effects as Kylo Ren's saber. It did not use any solid objects as a base. He would activate emitters that would come out of the hilt to form the sword.
Like a mix between Zero's Z Saber and Kylo Ren's saber.
And you think complaining here fixes it?...
There is a canny going
Give proper feedback there and provide what limits they have to fix
That gets everyone a lot further
Get the dev info on the place they want
You guys can help the dev and solve this
No but its cool that you feel the need to act like a prick assuming that was my intention. Plenty of people are aggravated that their weeks and hours of hard work being broken by something being toted as a "fix".
Honest to fucking god the animation community is toxic towards everyone because of this
Be happy that i take my time to explain how you guys can help fix this problem
But nah, just call me a prick for pointing obvious things out and giving a way to actually get things done
@umbral reef They don't listen
Nah but you can at least not be rude and be civil in a discussion the first thing you said was not even a thing that was needed.
At any rate I am looking to gather everyone who has been effected negatively to create some form of feedback.
I dont want to discus this ebcause im on your fucking side dude
I give you a way to fix it as that is what you want
And that is the fucking canny
That is legit the point of the canny website, the reason devs look on there and why i pointed you towards it
no, that is literally them implenting the fixes that were handed to them
Its the place everyone votes to get X thing added or Y thing changed
So like the animation limits
I linked them the canny page
Danke. That was not a thing I knew existed.
Next time if some suggest something even if its in an aggressive flat out way and you dont understand what they are suggesting.
Ask for details first
@umbral reef ive been away for 10 mins and here we go again...
Im sorry, I was up until about 4 am trying to get things to work. I am agitated and got no sleep.
I am very passionate about the work, and its just effected me a lot and I have a lot of misdirected stress for the hours I put into things. It has not been easy coping with it.
I am torn on the particle limits
Its fine
Honestly you still saying thanks and ect makes it more then fine 
The idea was good, the way they did it bad
Like I appreciate that it has messed up the creations of some very creative people
Borked to much stuff and fixed almost nothing
but for every creator that has been hamstrung it must have stopped 10 spod faced idiots from making another anime that shits out a torrent of ๐'s that all play gucci gang at max volume.
There's got to be a solution that ticks both boxes
It doesn't even stop the ๐
