long venture
#

Most people are lolis

#

At an average of 1.2 to 1.4

vocal shard
#

O

halcyon ingot
#

I'd say 1,9 is tall

vocal shard
#

If you go to the avatar testing world, there a measuring stick

long venture
#

Rooms in vr usually scales to unity chan

vocal shard
#

You can go to the avatar testing world and use the measuring stic-- that.

long venture
#

Which is 1.55

vocal shard
#

Ah

wraith stone
#

5.8

vocal shard
#

Kk

#

Well i mean, yes i could go to the avatar testing world

#

But when I actually make something that is maybe around 157 cm, and i stand next to someone else, it looks like Im taller than that because of how tall everyone else is, i dont know how to describe it. The scales look odd

#

Body proportions etc

inner cape
#

It's just no one uses actual irl scales on avatars, atleast the majority, thats why scales are fuqed

vocal shard
#

...

#

Pretty sure most use the default avatar descriptor's value for their avatars.

#

So most will be around 160

#

There is another game called secondlife where this is a serious issue (well maybe its not an issue lol, a little overexaggerated) cause everyone there is like over 2 meters and giants, but there you can actually see what your avatars height is, so when I am a normal height and stand next to someone that is over 2 m, i look like a child avatar

#

Idk. I usually feel about average vrchat height with my character at about 155 cm. But plenty are around 2m

inner cape
ruby needle
#

i still demand that having the demo avatar on szene should be a requirement

vocal shard
#

im 120-130 cm in game

tacit plank
#

If you want to be average height, your avatar descriptor will need to be like 0.9-1.2

#

But it's recommended to have versions of multiple sizes, for avatars that you use often

Hello

reef moss
#

What's up with the newest SDK? Keeps freezing at the upload menu and doesn't move on from there

ruby needle
#

works fine for me cirThink

reef moss
#

I've downloaded it 3 times now LOL

vocal shard
#

I'm having problems with the thing saying j need to play more kr something

#

I've had it installed and signed in for 2 days, (SDK) and I have 15 hours in game?

ruby needle
#

Becoming verified by the trust system is based on reaching a certain trust score, which's exact algorithm is unknown to prevent exploitation.

You presumably need to play the game in a normal manner with your VRChat account, walking around, meeting people and also making some friends. Idling won't help.
According to many responses in this discord the typical time this takes seems to roughly be between 20-40 hours but big exceptions are possible.

Make sure you are not using a steam account by accident because those can not be verified and continue playing the game until you get a notification or e-mail.

@reef moss downloading it again and again does not change anything cirBaka

#

have you tried to clean the cache and player prefs?

#

and complete reinstall it?

#

(remove it, then import it again)

reef moss
#

Downloading it again has worked before. But I figured it out for some reason whenever I try and upload it pauses the upload menu. Just a minor inconvenience because all I gotta do it unpause it for it to work

merry canyon
#

anyone getting issues with vrchat making you log in over and over
like i'll get on
switch worlds a bit
then every few its goes to loading then logs me out

ruby needle
#

sounds like connection issues

vocal shard
#

Might have pause on console error turned on

#

for the pausing issue

woven trellis
#

nah its not idk if its the avatar cuz i havent unlocked uploadin yet

#

the issue is that ive set my height as my real height in the setting 1.83 or was it 1.82 idk but anyway i cant touch the damn floor and im levitating almost on every character

vocal shard
#

What type of avatars are you using? It's common for most avatars not to be able to touch the floor

woven trellis
#

ok i didnt know that

#

so its the avatar and not what setting i put in

vocal shard
#

The blue and red robot avatars are some of the only ones that can actually touch the ground. Lol

#

Yeah

#

Most avatar legs are longer than real human proportions

woven trellis
#

aah

ruby needle
#

not beeing able to touch the floor is 90% a proportion issue

vocal shard
#

So, if it matches your arm length, the legs are usually too long

woven trellis
#

ok good to know

lilac swan
#

Setting your IRL height correctly in settings might help a bit too

woven trellis
#

well it doesnt and that was the weird part

lilac swan
#

Your avatar decides mostly, the height settings just helps a bit

woven trellis
#

ill keep that in mind next time i cant pick stuff up

vocal shard
#

Hey Everyone

ruby needle
#

hi cirHi

#

and bye 🛏 cirComfy

vocal shard
#

Hey. Lol

humble nova
#

Hi

vocal shard
#

Is there anything in the works to allow a single avatar to have different animation sets so users to don't have to upload the same model multiple times?

umbral reef
#

Could spend the hours into make two animations trigger an single animation

#

Have 4 animations be live normal
Then swap them off with one animation and swap another 4 in to be live

mighty stag
#

thats nice

vocal shard
#

^ what Oclac said. You can in a way, make "layers" of animations, so just normal using one of 4 gestures does something, and have a 5th gesture that you can hold to change what happens when you use the first 4 while holding the 5th with the other controller

#

So, its not a switch, but a left hand right hand thing

umbral reef
#

No as both hands share the same 5 animations

vocal shard
#

Imma make a pic right quick

lucid hamlet
#

EIther its the time of night or anything in the Development category is slow to get a response :T

umbral reef
#

Depending the channel and the question it always takes time

vocal shard
lucid hamlet
#

I got everything to my basic level of need but friggin.... Walking makes the avatar jump position. Like animation origin is in a different location

umbral reef
#

Pretty much

#

@lucid hamlet If it humanoid with all the bones set right?

#

is it*

lucid hamlet
#

It.... erm.... SHould be, its kinda a prefab, not built from the ground up by me. I cant rig for shit

#

Also is audio crackling common when rendering is strained?

umbral reef
#

If its a prefab and you cant even properly check the things within blender your fairly out of luck when problems show up-

#

But it honstly does not look humanoid to me...
Try doing one of the animations like wave or die

vocal shard
umbral reef
#

i got no idea how that playmaker stuff works

vocal shard
#

I don't know either, it just works >_<

umbral reef
#

But have you ever tried making worlds?
There is an way for worlds to load/unload when you pass true a box in a hallway as an example

#

But from my guess-- Best way to do that for an avatar would be to throw Set A into an hierarchy under a new bone or thing within the avatar and same for B
and have A be turned and have the one switch animation disable A and enable B

#

Wait i think there is even an vid about it

vocal shard
#

I've been googling it since you mentioned it was possible, my google~fu is lacking right now

umbral reef
#

Cant find the video im thinking off where its done on avatars

lucid hamlet
#

@umbral reef The animation plays just fine, though oddly the head always faces forwards

umbral reef
#

Id still guess that its an bone problem

lucid hamlet
#

I have a feeling im going to have to pay out and have someone take the current resources and fix it in that regard

umbral reef
#

Im in bed still as i got vacation and im lazy as fuck so its hard to help
But how well known are you with unity

lucid hamlet
#

Well i got a slightly decorated avatar from another prefab, managed to get a rotating prop to work for a halo and have an audio source fine tuned to be near the head only. But Ive made no games, no worlds, just prefabs

inner cape
#

Yoooo

#

New introoo MaidChamp

vocal shard
#

Keep it goin'!

umbral reef
#

You know how to put bones to the avatar?
Like remove the Toe bones and ect?

lucid hamlet
#

Nope, Closest to playing with bones has been in Garry's mod and the PAC3 system Shrug

inner cape
#

Now they're chatting in there Maidvillager

umbral reef
#

Well im not on my pc so its hard to explain how to do it (mainly because i dont think about the process at all if i ever have to do it)

vocal shard
#

Inb4 FPaul... "This isn't the right room for chatting"

umbral reef
#

From where you got the avatar- Isnt there an video explaining stuff

#

@vocal shard Its VRC related so its more on topic then normal :lul:

vocal shard
#

Talking about in the intros. Lol

inner cape
umbral reef
#

Oww

#

Well yea

lucid hamlet
umbral reef
#

As i expected its from that website

#

But honst your out of luck then as its not the bone problem i thought of

inner cape
lucid hamlet
#

Hey, i try to do what i can, i can atleast do texture work but modeling, boning, and rigging is out of my league

umbral reef
#

Its also not smart to use that website- The best thing i cna say over the website is that its pure shit and promotes illegal and bannable things

#

Id suggest you find an avatar you enjoy from other websites and follow an tutorial

#

Saying you cant do something as its out of your league as false ;)
Usain bolt also had to learn how to crawl and walk first before he became the best

lucid hamlet
#

Or go to a 'avatar bazzar' and go nag a creator for a prepackaged bundle to work from

#

Thats how i got my first one, rhino prime, to work

umbral reef
#

Atleast better then the current website you want to use

hollow elk
#

does anyone know what can cause a vrchat account to become unautourized?

umbral reef
#

And check ya email, can be something got send to that

lucid hamlet
#

@umbral reef If you know thats a bad seed of a website, do you know of any better, thats pretty much the only site that comes up when i google for VRChat avatar repositories

hollow elk
#

well its my friend and we were just sitting in the presentation room and she crashed and then she couldnt sign in and it said "couldnt sign in-Unauthourized"

shy nest
#

there is no other sites because people are sane enough to make shit themselves

umbral reef
#

Well any other website makes you put in effort to get working products instead of half assed unoptized shit from there

#

And the effort is often the same

vocal shard
#

Sketchfab has a few if you search vrchat...

#

Not much tho

umbral reef
#

Deviant art also has mmd mdoels

#

models

shy nest
umbral reef
#

I always forget the other websites as eh- I got my avatar and dont care about having 20 diffrent ones

lucid hamlet
#

@vocal shard Ive never seen one you could grab for free, which yes i understand WHY cause you are paying for good shit, but i cant rationalize buying assets for somethign that may never come to fruition cause of my poverty mindset

shy nest
#

just get a commission if spending money on unity assets isnt a thing you want to do

lucid hamlet
#

Thats why i said earlier that i might need to knuckle down, fight that mind set, and lay some cash down, but if i do that the only other way it can rationalize is fucking go the who-Yeah

#

That

umbral reef
#

First just search for models on Deviantart

#

Plenty of stuff on there-- Not an insane lot as most has been taken down by now but eh

lucid hamlet
#

@umbral reef As for your thing, i did try that, but everything there is in .mesh, which has been less than easy to convert to obj

umbral reef
#

And maybe someone else can chime in with the japanese website for the models as i forget it constantly

shy nest
#

bowlroll

umbral reef
#

That one yea

vocal shard
#

Oh? Never gone there..

lucid hamlet
#

Then the thing had an UV issue that i barely managed to fix when it DID convert, only to find out that the tri count was through the roof at over 30k

vocal shard
#

I usually stick around mmd mall

lucid hamlet
#

MMD art style isnt my thing. Im a furry and i find playing around as a popstar a bit jarring at best

vocal shard
#

30k... Thats rookie numbers. Lol

shy nest
#

damn son you're limiting yourself severely, bowlroll and nicovideo have thousands of models jamie

vocal shard
#

Better check it out then

shy nest
#

generally with better quality than from that site that starts with d and ends with art iris

lucid hamlet
#

I know im limiting myself Cause 80% of most avatars used on VR chat these days is those MMD avatars

vocal shard
#

Dart!

shy nest
lucid hamlet
#

At least thats what it FEELS like

#

I have a skewed perception

vocal shard
#

Nah dude... It's more

umbral reef
#

Mmd avatars can also be furries--- I have it seen happen

lucid hamlet
#

Neko ears dont count

umbral reef
#

Ever said it did?

shy nest
#

the further away you get from mmd the less support it has

vocal shard
#

There's a subgenre of vocaloid that's called Furloid.

shy nest
#

ive seen plenty of furry mmd models on bowlroll

vocal shard
#

You'll definitely find furry models there.

lucid hamlet
umbral reef
#

Google website translate

shy nest
#

I recommend looking through mmd models first because branching to xps/smd/tmc is bunch more work, generally being more difficult in that order nuttThinking

neon vine
#

Is uploading down right now?

umbral reef
#

Cat fixes a lot of those problems though Jay

shy nest
#

im meaning more work like shape keys which come very rarely on those model types

neon vine
#

I try to upload my avatar it just says "future proofing" and then after it finishes windows makes a noise and nothing happens.

shy nest
#

disable future proofing

vocal shard
#

^

lucid hamlet
#

Well trying to search the english word Furloid ends up bricking google translating

neon vine
#

How do i do that?
Literally the first time i am doing this

#

and i have spent 5 hours trying to get this to work while using tuppers video

shy nest
#

uhh

#

I think in the vrsdk tab there is a settings? think you disable it there? (feel free to correct me peeps)

vocal shard
#

So... How old is your vrchat account?...

neon vine
#

SO i disabled it

#

And i just get that windows bling noise

#

I dont get the new avatar screen or anything

shy nest
#

quick question, what version of unity are you using

neon vine
#

5.6.3p1

lucid hamlet
#

@vocal shard You asking me?

vocal shard
#

No, garethjason

neon vine
#

Uh

#

Like less than a month

#

I dont even know

vocal shard
#

K fine

neon vine
#

The thing says im okay for posting avatars and worlds

#

so

vocal shard
#

Just fir uploading. Didn't know if it would be an issue for a new account

neon vine
#

I would understand if that was the issue

#

But its weird

shy nest
#

try reimporting the sdk

neon vine
#

I have done that so many times.

shy nest
#

o

neon vine
#

I could redo the whole thing for a 5th time

#

My first problem was getting the visemes working

#

Well actually i take that back. my first ever problem was the fact I didnt have the right version of unity. I misread 5.6.3p1 as 5.3.6p1

rough pulsar
#

there might be upload issues... somewhere... somehow.
It took a 25mb world about 5 minutes or so to upload last night for me, and a friend noticed that world uploads weren't going as fast as usual.

neon vine
#

should i restart unity and try again?

rough pulsar
#

can't hurt to try

neon vine
#

okay doing that now

#

Now i cant upload it. The sdk drop down menu just says clear cache or whatever

#

And the visemes are broken again

#

reimporting vrchat sdk now

#

I'm about to go insane

lucid hamlet
#

Okay... I got a bunch of bits and bobs from Bowlroll

#

Bitmaps, PNGs.... PmX and Spa?

vocal shard
#

Export everything to a folder, and use cats plugin to import the pmx into blender. It will handle the textures and that stuff

lucid hamlet
#

holds up a tabby cat "This thing?"

#

Nevermind found the tool

vocal shard
#

Lol

#

hey guys can somebody help me in my world i put a VRC_Syncvideoplayer the thing is when i go in vr chat in my world the youtube videos starts for me at 3 minutes and for other people way longer

neon vine
#

How does one add their own image for their avatar?

inner cape
#

Just do it

tacit plank
#

Drag your own image into your assets, make a new plane in Unity, and then drag the image on top of that plane and place it in front of the camera

neon vine
#

Okay thanks

#

For an actual answer

#

I'll try that

neon vine
#

Thanks for the help guys I got it

#

:D

median basalt
#

Quads are technically better than planes but either one works

stiff prawn
#

just ask

#

when we can use chair in avatar again?

rough pulsar
#

How long's a piece of string?
Basically, when they can have it work without bugging out other much more important things. Like audio.
When that is, well.

stiff prawn
inner cape
#

Don't play if you are tired PillWorm

stiff prawn
#

i didnt play it for about 2 mounth

near saffron
#

Can’t wait for chairs to return tho. Everyone in titans, cars and other stuff, made a lot of the larger maps more fun

halcyon ingot
#

A friend used them with custom animators so people would dance when they sat. It was a good time

near saffron
#

Ha, I couldn’t figure that out properly so my seats just T posted the desktopers when they sat in em

wraith stone
#

Has anyone seen a ghost in the shell avatar?

#

That would be meta

#

Face of the laughing man on every avatar face

elder quartz
#

why cant i add custom avatars?

Hey i need help i download skin everything ok but i finish i click on build and publish it writes me i need to play a lot and i plowed my soul today and yesterday

inner cape
#

Gotta play the game in order to gain uploading permissions.

lunar fjord
#

I plowed day and night

umbral reef
#

You need to play the game- Be social- Make friends and visit worlds

#

not just stay online and 'plowed'

indigo fern
#

did you actually play, or did you just stand around afk?

ivory folio
#

he plowed

indigo fern
#

specifically he plowed his soul

lunar fjord
#

I do not have a microphone but I talk to them with a marker

elder quartz
#

how do i get accesories

umbral reef
#

That counts as being social-- Aslong as you get people to add you as friend or accept you its fine
Also- As no one said it here you are playing on the VRC account and not Steam account?

I've made the first avatar specifically tuned to attrack script kiddies :D, flashy animated shaders, took me 6 months of research to find the perfect proportions and formula XD, the first tests are promising, 7 caught using scripts in less than 10mins ;) . Word of advice if you see someone with it, block the guy or he'll do the same to you :) https://pasteboard.co/Hvd7zmW.png (removed)

median basalt
#

Lol

#

That's pretty good actually

thorny totem
#

:)

median basalt
#

Makes me wish a friend of mine had perfected his "crash everyone who uses this avatar except me" thing

#

He already found a way to only make an object appear locally

#

All he needed was a way to distinguish some sort of hardware ID or user ID

vocal shard
#

when i see somebody with some flashy avatars i'm always on my guard

thorny totem
#

Yes this would be a solution, but one could make a more hmm fonctional version with some scripting, but meh we can't :)

vocal shard
#

most of the time they got some sort of bullshit sutff with them

#

either hackzz or crash guns

#

Speedrun it

thorny totem
#

sure :D

grizzled timber
#

heck yeah

#

took me about 4 hours to be able to publish loll

vocal shard
#

Nice

thorny totem
#

4 hours? that was fast :O

#

not even the time to come here and ask " why can't i upload?" :\

olive mesa
#

So will an oculus not recognize more than two touches?

vocal shard
#

You "can" use a third.. but it's not normally support

#

That's the max tho

olive mesa
#

Well

thorny totem
#

you can add more than two but recognized as advanced object if i'm correct

olive mesa
#

I’m just thinking out loud, but if it’ll track but the buttons not work, why would I buy vibe trackers @ 100 when I can buy two touches for 100?

#

Or does it just not work that way

vocal shard
#

The oculus system can only track a maximum of 3. It's not able to track an additional 3 on top of the controllers like the vive can for full body

olive mesa
#

Ah

thorny totem
#

you can use a touch as a tracker for mixed reality (tracked or fix) have not seen that possibility used for tracking in VR yet

vocal shard
#

^

olive mesa
#

I’m just now looking into additional trackers as I’m fairly new to the vr world

#

And couldn’t find an answer on why it wouldn’t work

vocal shard
#

Your two main options are, Kinect, or buy 3 vive trackers and 2 light houses and use them along with the rift

thorny totem
#

^

olive mesa
#

I’ve got a Kinect somewhere, lord only knows where it went to die in storage tho

vocal shard
#

Lol

umbral reef
#

You get the 2 lighthouses for the vive always though so

olive mesa
#

But I couldn’t find a good write up on that part

umbral reef
#

And with the kinect you dont have 360 tracking then

hmmm beg to differ and that one Oclac, the V2 is quite competent with 360, now with the 3rd party drivers that's another story

vocal shard
#

The rift tracks from the cameras. So too many devices is hard for the system. The vive tracks from the controllers and headset inside out. So it can track more

olive mesa
#

I’m not terribly worried about it. But I would do the Kinect one just cause I know I have one somewhere if I can find a good how to on the subject

umbral reef
#

Isnt V2 hard to get and insanely expensive now though? (Also never knew that V2 could do full turning without breaking)

thorny totem
#

you can get some for pennies :O, but the power supply is $$

olive mesa
#

Oh power supply wouldn’t be an issue

vocal shard
#

Do note however that the technology used with the Vive interferes with one of the two Kinect version I think

olive mesa
#

That’s what I do on the daily

vocal shard
#

V2 isn't that expensive. It's the power adapter that costs. There's an easy cheap mod to solder an adapter tho.

olive mesa
#

^

#

This

thorny totem
#

for the v2 it's a specific one, it comes with an USB3 interface

umbral reef
#

Well i was talking about the whole thing but if peeps found out how to mod it aint hard

olive mesa
#

I can build one from scratch if needed lol

umbral reef
#

Everyone that isnt a electrical retard should be able to learn how to solder things easy

olive mesa
#

Ok so Kinect v2 is the way to go here?

#

Is that the verdict

vocal shard
#

You have Vive or Oculus ?

thorny totem
#

$50 a piece on ebay for a v2 without powersupply

vocal shard
#

@vocal shard the Kinect interferes with the vive tracking, unless a sync Cable is used

olive mesa
#

Oculus

vocal shard
#

Hmm... well for starter the V1 (360 Kinect) tracks at 30 frames per second.

olive mesa
#

That one I have already

thorny totem
#

yes 60 1080p for the v2 (720p for the IR /depht though)

vocal shard
#

While the V2 (Xbox One) tracks more often, giving a smoother look

#

The V2 has additional bones that are tracked too

#

Given the choice. V2 is much better

#

Yeah

#

Also it has a wider tracking fov

olive mesa
#

Hmm

#

I might be able to swing that

#

Got a bunch of old crap I can take to the resell shop and get like $20 for

#

The it’s not so bad

vocal shard
#

Just need to supply it 12 V with a mod. The official adapter is a ripoff lol

olive mesa
#

Oh 12v is it?

#

Lol

#

I can do that

vocal shard
#

Or... You could buy a chinese adapter from AliExpress for cheap. Lol. If you trust that

fiery moth
#

Chinese products? Rather not

#

Spend the extra few dollars

#

Get a good product

olive mesa
#

Nah I have all the stuff in front of me right now to make one

vocal shard
#

Smoke n' fire

fiery moth
#

And not waste all that shipping time

thorny totem
#

12v 2.67A on the real one @olive mesa

olive mesa
#

Don’t let the magic smoke out of the box. Bad things happen

floral aspen
#

cheapest I could find an adapter on aliexpress was like $70 or $80. Not something I wanna take a chance on

vocal shard
#

So a 12V 3amp adapter would do just fine.

olive mesa
#

Oh ya. 3A is plenty

vocal shard
#

It just takes the amps it needs anyway.

olive mesa
vocal shard
#

Really, wow. Haha. Definitely cheaper to do it yourself

thorny totem
#

@vocal shard should be ok yes

vocal shard
#

As long the voltage is 12V. Don't plug 24V to it ! XD

olive mesa
#

I’ve got a 12v 75A at the house right now lmao. Think that’s a little overkill for it?

vocal shard
#

You also need a usb type-A to usb type-B cable

#

I'm tempted to say "Probably"

olive mesa
#

Lol

#

Beside 12v and random cables aside, anyone know of a good write up/YouTube on getting the Kinect black magic to work? I’m assuming I’ll need some 3rd party software somewhere down the line.

thorny totem
#

oh i'm wrong, it's $50 kinect v2 + the power supply

vocal shard
#

I'm no electrical engineer tho. I was told that "If voltage matches, and amp is equal or higher, should be good" lol

#

Driver4vr i think it's called

thorny totem
#

you could also try the free one "kinecttovr"

olive mesa
#

taking notes

vocal shard
#

gets Kinect "Finally, I can fulfill my dream of dancing like a stripper"

thorny totem
#

lol strapper you mean?

vocal shard
#

XD

olive mesa
#

No lie, some of these people in VrChat, have to be a stripper irl

#

They are way to good at that otherwise lol

inner cape
#

Too bad you didn't know kinect is far from perfect

vocal shard
#

Yoga helps, at least with flexibility. lol

#

Low body weight also helps tremendiously.

#

Starts using VRChat. "Finally I can fulfill my dream of being a woman." Buys additional sensors. "Finally I can fulfill my dream of dancing like a girl." Buys Kinect. "Finally I can be stripper !". VRChat, fulfill your dreams.

#

lol

olive mesa
#

Oh I know Kinect isn’t near as good, but if I already had one laying around in storage somewhere I might as well use it

vocal shard
#

Yeah why not

#

And has a bonus you will be able to sit on the floor. Like on the actual floor.

#

lol

olive mesa
#

That’s the main reason for it honeslty

#

Honestly*

#

I know it won’t be able to track fast enough for like full on dancing or anything

vocal shard
#

Sit in front of a VR campfire, roasting VR marshmallows

olive mesa
#

What world is that? Rainy cave?

#

No

#

It’s stormy cave

#

Stormy cave you can roast marshmallows lol

vocal shard
#

Neat lol

#

I wonder... do physics object react to legs in VRChat ? You could kick stuff lol

thorny totem
#

good question

floral aspen
#

anything that would have interacted with your avatar in the first place will also interact with your legs

vocal shard
#

Sweet

#

Make a football, virtual football tournament

#

lol

toxic barn
#

You need to add colliders beforehand, but can be done. Someone made a video tutorial a few days ago.

olive mesa
#

Like hair colliders. So you should go around drop kicking people’s heads to see if their hair moves

vocal shard
#

XD

thorny totem
#

@toxic barn good luck with colliders in the legs :\ unless you want to fly around:O

vocal shard
#

I wonder... which type of collider should one use to be able to collide with other people hair ?

floral aspen
#

people have to specifically set up their avatars to allow other people to interact with them

olive mesa
#

Oh I didn’t know tth

floral aspen
#

if you put dyna bone colliders on your hand you won't normally be able to touch other people's avatars

olive mesa
#

That

vocal shard
#

Yeah that's the way I setup my avi. Dynamic bone colliders. Sad.

thorny totem
#

yes...but people get creative only when it come to boobs :O @floral aspen

toxic barn
olive mesa
#

@thorny totem that sounds about right lol

toxic barn
#

At the end of the video his hand colliders move objects without holding them. But, I'm not afraid of flying as Kane said.

thorny totem
#

yes i have one or two avatar with the issue, spawn and get 1000m in the air, fun sometime though

olive mesa
#

I’d like to see a watered down explanation of how some avatars can climb and swing off stuff

vocal shard
#

"Weeeeeee !!!" lol

#

Climbing vertical surfaces is easy enough. Just spam jump while holding forward.

#

lol

olive mesa
#

These can climb wherever they feel like it

vocal shard
#

Playspace mover

olive mesa
#

I guess it’s like a ladder animation?

#

Idk

vocal shard
#

If you have full body tracking. You can go anywhere with playspace mover

#

Do the Superman pose and starts flying around o3o

olive mesa
#

Ah so that’s something the avatar is programmed with, yes?

vocal shard
#

It's a plugin for steamvr

olive mesa
#

O

vocal shard
#

You hold the menu button, and you can climb around space

thorny totem
#

some are also using the puppet principle, put your avatar on your hand and move it manually (using your hand)

#

hmm not sure if i'm clear on that one -_-

vocal shard
#

I heard of some avatars where on desktop, you can look up, and there's a cube that's local only, or something. And if the grab it. They can fly

thorny totem
#

could be a solution too, clever one

slender oxide
#

Make an Pläne on your feet .and you can fly

#

Turn IT on Off whit a f key

tough parcel
#

is anyone having any issues ? my game keeps logging me out mid session

ruby needle
#

that is typically connection / routing issues

tough parcel
#

cheers 😃

kind folio
#

happened to me too

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

tough parcel
#

yeah either that or it just constantly stops responding aswell , first time ive had an issue

olive mesa
#

Thinking abut it commissioning out an avatar, I know everyone had their own skill and values themselves differently, but what’s on a average the cost of an avatar? Just a basic vr, no crazy animations or effects. Just a dude in a suit. Figured I’d ask here before I get into the avatar commission channel and bail

thorny totem
#

Amazon still having troubles after Pi days?

olive mesa
#

I’m sure

#

The wife hasn’t gotten any delayed package notifications yet

halcyon ingot
#

Price changes depending on if you want from scratch or just an mmd edit

#

I've never commissioned so I'm not really sure

olive mesa
#

Ya that’s the basic answer I figured i would get lol

#

Just thought I’d ask anyway

halcyon ingot
#

It's worth asking

olive mesa
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Especially when I know nothing lol

thorny totem
#

i would say for an avatar from scrath it depend how the artist value his work, like a painting i guess

olive mesa
#

Yup. I’ll just post it and see what people offer for it

thorny totem
#

i don't work under $3000 so you know XD

olive mesa
#

Alrighty, that’s noted then

halcyon ingot
#

It really is a per artist thing

olive mesa
#

cant afford Kane so don’t bother asking

thorny totem
#

poor people tssss

olive mesa
#

Das me

#

o/

thorny totem
#

:D

quiet prawn
#

3000, that seems... a little on the cheap end.

thorny totem
#

it is !

olive mesa
#

Lul

thorny totem
#

was a friendly price, for a Vrchat lad

#

no seriously ask on VRC traders

vocal shard
#

3D modeling is time consuming and tedious, hence the price I guess.

limpid river
#

i heard of prices fromm 100$ to 900$

halcyon ingot
#

That's sounds about right

vocal shard
#

for a model from scratch for vrchat ?

#

yeah

#

that's pretty correct

#

you can ask PolarStar, he is making model from scratch and he accept commissions now

halcyon ingot
#

His models have a real nice style

#

And he's only been doing this stuff for half a year I think, super impressive

vocal shard
#

yeah, he is pretty good

#

he want to get his own place so he can have a better internet to stream again

#

it was really cool to see him working on his models

thorny totem
#

100 is usually mmd material though 900 sound fair for models made from scratch with low/medium compexity i would say @limpid river

lilac swan
#

His models look really nice. Sort of a enhanced PS1 style, I'd say

halcyon ingot
#

I get what you mean

vocal shard
#

That means there are people that don't use TDA models. GOOD. lol

#

They are freaking everywhere.

#

Not that they look bad, but still...

limpid river
#

well the dude who offered 100$ model to my friend seem to have low quality of model

thorny totem
#

you get what you pay for :)

halcyon ingot
#

@vocal shard I know what you mean, at a point all those tda models just blend together

thorny totem
#

@vocal shard eheh it's Tupper's fault he made a tuto with one :D

vocal shard
#

Well it's also the most used MMD model. It's EVERYWHERE.

#

It's like chickenpox. lol

halcyon ingot
#

Yep, I wish there was less anime in vrchat. But mmds are quick and easy with cats.

vocal shard
#

I don't have problem with anime, as long there's no like... 12 look-a-like in the same room. XD

quiet prawn
#

Nep nep nepu

halcyon ingot
#

I guess it's just so unoriginal on such a creative platform

#

That my issue

#

Plus they all look the same after a few months

#

But hey, to each their own I guess

thorny totem
#

it'll come i hope, they start with mmds and couple months after they are ready to model their own, if they're really into it. I've seen some nice piece in there, one made by a lead artist working for blizzard

quiet prawn
#

Originality and effort go hand in hand

vocal shard
#

I like the idea of the tda base, but i use my own skin, eye, ect textures. I don't like the miku head though.. all those look the same

quiet prawn
#

Note: My effort level is like... 5%

vocal shard
#

Yeah some people use so many different parts, it looks like something relatively unique

halcyon ingot
#

I only got into making models from scratch recently, really fun time

thorny totem
#

Frankenstitch style :D

floral aspen
#

I didn't put a whole lot of effort into my avatar, but I knew I didn't want to have an anime avatar either, so I just did a video game avatar instead

thorny totem
#

that's cool too

vocal shard
#

Alternatively, some games have character editors that you can export to MMD.

thorny totem
#

weighted like a potato on a stick?

lilac swan
#

Used to switch between different video game avatars constantly, until I made my own character and learned to model

vocal shard
#

@thorny totem Rigged like a MMD model. So expect the usual hair shenanigans. lol

thorny totem
#

that's the best part Zarniwoop and Vrchat is a brilliant plateform for that

#

@vocal shard I see lol

#

but seriously today there is no excuses for not making your own, there is some great automated tools out there, everyone can do it

#

good news is if you don't have time, money can get you one. If you have none of the above oh well :¨P

#

you saved us btw, free help for you

grand wing

i'm having an issue where the materials are like greyed out and im unable to change them

gilded vessel
#

Anyone happen to know the font used in VRC nameplates

thorny totem

could you share a screenshot? @grand wing

limpid river

@gilded vessel Apperently its Dosis Bold

grand wing
vocal shard
#

But, I don't know why anyone would use anything other than STOPhttps://fontzone.net/font-details/stop

thorny totem
#

@grand wing it seems to be the shader itself and it's properly selected, the texture is black though, am i missing something?

grand wing
#

@thorny totem i cannot alter it in any way. i cant change the shader or its opacity or anything

thorny totem
#

hmm you did the basic like restarting unity? it can freak out from time to time

grand wing
#

nope. ill try it

thorny totem
#

ok

ivory folio
#

@gilded vessel Bank Gothic I think

#

or it looks similar anyway

grand wing
#

nope, didn't fix it @thorny totem

thorny totem
#

try ctrl-D and make a copy of the material and see if it works

gilded vessel
#

Thanks!

#

@ivory folio

thorny totem
#

@grand wing ?

#

ok if i don't get an answer in less than 3 mins, i will, hmm, i will start to sing, what i don't know, but beware !

grand wing
#

@thorny totem i mean, i can edit them but this model has like 20+ materials

#

i'm trying to see if there is a way to copy the location of where the material is applied

thorny totem
#

so it works. what do you mean by location?

grand wing
#

@thorny totem the copied materials can be edited however they dont change anything

#

they dont actually alter the model in anyway

vocal shard
#

You candrag them onto the model

thorny totem
#

yes now you have to apply the said duplicated material to your model

grand wing
#

20+ materials and and half of them i have no idea where they go

#

but i will try

vocal shard
#

...

#

Thats... Uh... Quite a few materials 0.0

thorny totem
#

material have names, eye etc, just follow the trail

grand wing
#

some are in asian fonts

thorny totem
#

"A new" is not talkative i give you that

#

@vocal shard yes that's material wars XD laggy edition

inner cape
#

Want sum fuk

vocal shard
#

I just mean... Some could've been combined..

thorny totem
#

yea he is new he doesn't know better

#

he will

vocal shard
#

Anyway, if you select the body mesh in the menu on the left. You should see a list of the materials appear on the right side of the window

inner cape
#

My second ever model had 50+ materials, I didn't even realize back then it mattered maidLuleyes

vocal shard
#

You can match up the names with the new ones and drag and replace

thorny totem
#

let's not spook him yet :D

inner cape
#

Mfw I still keep my mats at about 10, because I use a lot of shaders GhostoHands

limpid river
#

yeah a lot of tutorials back in the day didn't talk about optimization

vocal shard
#

Same tbh... Lol

limpid river
#

wow i feel bad when my model needs 5 materials

vocal shard
#

I like my eyes to glow. Also they are quite detailed. A full atals always makes them look like blobs

inner cape
#

Just glasses and eyes are 3 materials already

halcyon ingot
#

You should atlas as much as you can while retaining quality

vocal shard
#

I'm at 7 mats

inner cape
#
  • clothes, blush, skin
vocal shard
#

I need to learn how to manually atlas.

#

Rather than just cats

inner cape
#

Its not as hard once you actually learn it

#

But learning is tough, ye

thorny totem
#

@halcyon ingot i'm not sure he is at a blender stage yet, seems like a prefab or something

vocal shard
#

I know very little about blender. So.. trying to map out textures....

halcyon ingot
#

Just take your time

#

You'll figure it out

thorny totem
#

meanwhile we've lost him :O

vocal shard
#

Lol. I atlas all my other models..... Just not my main one ...

#

Gotta take the time.. to learn

thorny totem
#

I can hardly imagine if one day they decided to limit the materials number, discord would become a battlefied XD

halcyon ingot
#

Honestly though they should limit them

thorny totem
#

agreed

vestal schooner
#

so, i have a dilemma

#

some random person on steam

#

added me

vocal shard
#

Tbh i agree

vestal schooner
#

has like 500hrs in vrchat

#

and is trying to get me to play

#

ive played maybe 6 hrs in this game?

#

but its really wierd

#

damn i cant upload screenshots

#

but this person sounds really desperate to talk to me

#

what do

#

oh and he put 300hrs into VRchat this week apparently

thorny totem
#

@halcyon ingot but not before a fresh new tutorial on that subject made by Tupper XD (Tupper is hating me right now uhuh)

vestal schooner
#

not sure if this is the channel to ask this

#

so sorry in advance

vocal shard
#

Lol

#

I really don't know what to say Shal..

thorny totem
#

@vestal schooner ok now youu have a random friend so?

vestal schooner
#

he keeps saying, no dont delete me, play vrchat

vocal shard
#

block him

vestal schooner
#

id much rather not have this random friend

vocal shard
#

THEN delete him

vestal schooner
#

i do want to block him but my curiousity has been piqued

vocal shard
#

and tell him to stop being a crazy Mofo and to get some help

halcyon ingot
#

I don't understand this dilemma, just remove him

vestal schooner
#

muh curiousity

halcyon ingot
#

Then meet him

#

I don't see why you need to involve us in this

vestal schooner
#

dunno, i felt like this was the best place to ask for an opinion

#

sorry if it wasnt

thorny totem
#

@vestal schooner rha Human, make your mind already :D delete him or be curious you can't do both :P

vestal schooner
#

aaaaah

vocal shard
#

Like.. what are the circumstances? What do you know? They seem like just friendly? Creepy? Older younger?

vestal schooner
#

creepy

#

is it ok if i paste some of the steam chat here?

thorny totem
#

you shall decreepify your Steam then and be curious about something else? what about that? :)

vestal schooner
#

i dont know how to answer that

#

:\

#

but seriously, can i paste what he said to me?

vocal shard
#

Like, I've had people add me, and then try to constantly talk to me, play at the same timez but they usually ended up being kids

vestal schooner
#

i dont even know how he found my steam profile

#

unless he looked up my profile specifically

#

his only steam friend is me

#

:\

vocal shard
#

Thats odd....

@umbral reef thanks, ill move this there

fierce fable
#

Does there exist anything that let's a VR user (Vive) access and use other software from within VRChat?
What I need to do is be able to scroll through my music files, in software like Soundpad, as well as playbsaid tracks without taking off my headaet or alt-tabbing on my desktop.

I already know of OVRdrop, but I'm wondering if there's any alternative, before I buy.

vocal shard
#

You can use the steam overlay desktop window. But it is laggy. Ovr drop is much better imo, because you can use it while still active in the game rather than stopping for a sec to open the overlay.

Also, with ovrdrop, you can pin specific windows rather than your entire desktop if need be. And you can chose to either have it floating in the world, or attached to your hand.

safe mason
#

tfw i was just talking to a guy about final fantasy

#

and i got kicked out of the world

vocal shard
#

Maybe the don't like FF

fierce fable
#

@vocal shard
So, if I'm using Radeon ReLive to record the VRC desktop feed, and I use OVRdrop to attatch the Soundpad window to my off-hand Vive wand, will the Soundpad window end up on top of the VRC feed?

vocal shard
#

No. The vrc mirror feed wil only show what's in game. If you want the window to show in the recording; record the steamvr mirror feed that shows what your headset sees

fierce fable
#

When using ReLive, alt-tabbing to Soundpad causes the window to be on top of the VRC feed in the recording, Because it records the entire desktop. That's why I ask.

vocal shard
#

Oh.. then i don't know what to do. I don't use ReLive. When i record, i record by window, not the desktop

fierce fable
#

J guess I could try using extended display, with my second screen.

#

Have ReLive record one screen while my OVRdrop window is on the other display.

raven mango
#

anyone else get a purple screen flash when they load up vrchat?

#

it's leaning to the pinkish purple you see the senior chat mods have

lilac swan
#

Maybe you need to update your graphics card drivers? That shouldn't happen

vocal shard
#

Isn't purple in 3D rendering like... the "missing texture" default color ?

lilac swan
#

In the programs I used it's more pink than purple imo

#

But I think I seen before people with outdated drivers have similar issue to Nobuo

vocal shard
#

I sometimes get it for one frame when opening the game up and then it goes away; almost like it tries drawing the scene before its finish loading it?

vocal shard
#

I wonder if it's like the background of the renderer.

median basalt
#

I finally got a new PC and it feels so good

#

Solid 45 FPS in basically every map, 90 if circumstances allow

#

Before, I could drop as low as 10 in "lag-free" box

vocal shard
#

Nice

inner cape
#

Good for you TupperHands

covert chasm
#

I've seen a lot of "lag free maps" that are straight up lies 🙃

#

One had a mirror, untoggleable, pointing toward spawn and covering the whole world

vocal shard
#

Wow. Lol

median basalt
#

Lmao

#

"Truely a lag free world" seems to get the playercount right but starts with a mirror that's on

#

"Lag-free box" has zero opportunity for culling and probably doesn't have baked ambient lights either

#

As long as you stay away from the Pug, things are decent enough

covert chasm
#

The only true lag free world is a world with no other avatars in it

#

but that's no fun

#

worlds are very rarely the source of lag-- most of the UGC-based lag is from dynamic bones (EVIL!), too many materials, and unmerged meshes

#

But there are some pretty bad worlds out there

median basalt
#

Then why does the SDK still have a useless poly limit but no limits on anything you just mentioned 🤔

#

Worlds can make quite a big difference, realtime lights vs baked for example

covert chasm
#

Poly limit is not useless! Your GPU can only handle so many, then you've got to leave room for the world's geometry, and THEN you have to leave room for texture memory.

#

Basically we're talking about a series of bottlenecks. Polycount is pretty far down the line, but it is on the line.

median basalt
#

Yeah, but it's definitely lower on the priority list

#

There needs to be a poly limit, but you yourself have advocated for increasing it to 65k (I Think?), which I agree with

covert chasm
#

Having a priority list doesn't mean "ignore everything except the first item" 😛

#

65k is just because that's the max vert count in 5.6.3

median basalt
#

Yeah

#

Which is fair enough IMO

covert chasm
#

I'd say 40k personally

#

but it isn't up to me! Its up to people much smarter than me.

#

UGC can be tough to work with.

median basalt
#

If they're so smart why can we still upload 100 materials

#

But not an atlased 25k model

covert chasm
#

If you're so smart why are you uploading 100 materials

#

😛

median basalt
#

I'm not

covert chasm
#

I kid, you have a point

#

and I don't have a straight answer for you right now

median basalt
#

Yeah, I get that

#

Although other big CPU hogs seem to be outside of our control

covert chasm
#

yep

median basalt
#

Like the IK system and possibly voice

covert chasm
#

we're working from the top down-- you could call it a priority list

#

😉

median basalt
#

I heard about the new IK system but I'm skeptical of whether it will improve performance

#

It's not something you can cut corners on easily

elfin ether
#

SECURITY!

raven mango
#

usually avatars that blast music end up crashing people is what I noticed

kind folio
#

I agree I do think really 40k -60k is enough to make 99% of models work fine unless you have some crazy giant model. If a model had over 65k you can easily decimate without anything being noticeable.

quiet prawn
#

If only there were some system to rate avatars based on performance...

median basalt
#

I think if a new SDK update came out that simultaneously set a 10 material limit and increased the poly limit to at least 40k (I think it should be 65k but whatever)

#

That would help the performance situation a lot

vocal shard
#

@median basalt I approve this a million times. lol

median basalt
#

The devs keep saying "it's not that easy", but it literally is.

#

People might bypass it, but the biggest offenders in optimization are also people who aren't savvy enough to bypass it

#

Like the people with 30 uncombined materials

vocal shard
#

Imagine: VRChat in constant 90 fps. drools

median basalt
#

Yeah

#

Although the game is just laggy with people regardless of their avatars

#

All this talk about "it's the users" is getting incredibly tiring. World authors blaming it on avatars, devs blaming it on avatars

#

Sod off.

#

The devs don't have an excuse because they set the SDK limits themselves.

#

World authors can at least blame the game itself after a certain point.

vocal shard
#

Also if somehow they found a way to lower the max loudness of sound uploads. You know... to prevent people to actually lose some hearing by noise spammers lol

#

I thought they did limit the volume of avatar sounds

quiet prawn
#

They did.

median basalt
#

Yeah, they enforced some audio limits on the SDK side

vocal shard
#

Recently ? Cause with volume set to a comfortable level to hear people talking, there are still people spamming stuff at the volume of your typical rock concert lol

median basalt
#

And also a few egregious ones on the client

#

As in, your audio source gets disabled if you try to do anything funny with it like muck with the spread or spatialization

#

Or priority etc

vocal shard
#

As far as audio. I wish world music/sounds, and avatar sounds were on a seperate slider. So you can mute world music, but avatar sounds can still be heard

median basalt
#

That's already a thing

vocal shard
#

For me it always affect both

median basalt
#

Or technically, it's supposed to be a thing. 9 times out of 10, avatar sounds end up on "game" instead though.

vocal shard
#

Ok

median basalt
#

It's some weird logic because they have to support older models too

#

Not an easy task I'd imagine

vocal shard
#

True

median basalt
#

Actually it should be doable but there seem to be bugs

#

It happens

vocal shard
#

That one rap thing that say one word at the same with bass that could shake an entire skyscraper... it's still too loud lol

#

Like... can't hear any other users over it

#

Sure there's always the block option, but the goal is to prevent blowing up speakers or eardrums lol

neon vine
#

What is a good website to find models? I've looked at deviant art but no dice there, bowlroll nothing interests me..

#

I'm kinda picky lmao

#

oh sweet

#

thanks

vocal shard
#

Did you just....

#

@vocal shard What happened ?

neon vine
#

Oh was that a nono on his part?

#

oh crap. Im sorry dude.

vocal shard
#

Lol. We don't recommend that site anymore because they support hacks

neon vine
#

I didnt mean to get you in trouble.

vocal shard
#

Welp, thanks... I'm banned now

#

Haah

#

It's all good dude

neon vine
#

Im just looking for avatars

#

I finally uploaded that one i was working on last night after 5-6 hours

#

of piddling with it

vocal shard
#

RIP my account 2018-2018

#

It's been great talking with all of you. Off to a better world. Goodbye.

neon vine
#

oh come on now dude its okay

vocal shard
#

Lol

neon vine
#

You didnt know.

vocal shard
#

No, dont goooo

neon vine
#

I didnt know either

vocal shard
#

Rip

neon vine
#

I'm pretty sure all we would get is just told not to bring it up again which is understandable

#

Anyway

#

James do you know any good legit websites to go to for avatars?

vocal shard
#

Yeah. I mean. You won't get in trouble for using the site. It does have some good avatars. But because they also host hacks, and modfied clients, we can't recommend it

neon vine
#

Understood

#

I do my best to avoid shady websites

kind folio
#

volume limit is on sdk side of things. which we all know what happens when theirs sdk limits.

vocal shard
#

I make my own from mmd bases... So i don't know any complete ones ready for vrchat

neon vine
#

where do you go for mmd bases?

kind folio
neon vine
#

thanks

kind folio
#

Just make sure you're using the avatars on the site with their permission.

neon vine
#

oh alright

does anyone know if the piano simulation room has implemented midi input?

i thought it did

vocal shard

Hi

digital oriole
#

Just asking for opinions

#

Do you guys think Vr chat could run on a 2017 iMac pro with boot camp?

grizzled badger
vocal shard
#

Lol. I wonder if that impersonator only knows about Tupper from the dev update videos.

#

a

#

yeah, that person just showed up in the pug i was in. i also saw them a few days ago in another world

modern sand
#

@grizzled badger Check #moderation-reports or send an email to moderation@vrchat with your outputlog

vocal shard
#

getting this when trying to go into settings on unity

polar jasper
#

@vocal shard Go to SDK Settings and switch API to Release

vocal shard
#

wont let me access settings

#

@polar jasper

polar jasper

Check your Console and fix errors

polar jasper

what is that

aaaaaaaaaah, trying to figure out why shaders using scene colors sometimes hides some elements and sometimes doesnt is driving me crazy :/

ivory folio
#

is there any way of deleting a vrca file from the api?

median crypt
#

My friend just joined VRChat. And when i took him to avatar worlds Mirrors are just a blank white wall. Its not even a mirror for him. Do anyone know whats wrong?

ivory folio
#

isnt that a graphics driver issue

median crypt
#

Idk. Thats why im asking here

limpid river
#

a friend had that problem once reinstalling vrchat fixed it

median crypt
#

Hmm. I see.

#

Thanks for input

humble vale
#

It's a bit silly, but I honestly think VRChat is directly responsible for so many people learning to 3d model..

ruby needle
#

and unity

#

but yeah

#

some already started carriers because of it

humble vale
#

true, Unity very much so, but working on a game usually is a dead end for most people

#

the level fo work effort involved fizzles out

#

with VRChat avatar or room, they can put minimal effort and get immediate results, and be encouraged to iterate

ruby needle
#

but you can also put in a lot of work for awesome results especially with worlds

humble vale
#

yeah, I am using the unity mega fantasy pack and making a treehouse right now.. my first build, however when I went to test it I think my account was too new

#

had api failure calls to world not existing, I was or am still in probate period

ruby needle
#

using asset packs is not exactly what i ment cirBaka

humble vale
#

ROFL no im aware

#

I've not modeled ina few years (really work with Maya better) but I am trying to just get first world working, the assets are purely for more than white floor

#

😉

ruby needle
#

if you allready did a while a go then that is no excuse

#

i NEVER moddeled and started working on a workd exclusively with self modeled geometry and props

#

(excluding drawings)

humble vale
#

I've gotta look at unity and how to draw the mesh

ruby needle
#

blender 🤔

humble vale
#

I can do google sketchup, autocad, maya, 3dmax, but not as familiar with blender 😉 (i know, its free, what gives?!) haha

ruby needle
#

well any other model program works too cirBaka

humble vale
#

Rhino was actually pretty good as you could model autocad into 3d prior to 3d integration to autocad

polar jasper
#

@humble vale those api messages are normal. Go to VRChat SDK -> Settings in unity and see what it says on your permissions there

humble vale
#

yeah both were still probationary as of last night

#

I'll check in a little bit when I get back home

#

I take it you cannot upload even private environments until that changes?

polar jasper
#

Yup. You can only test locally

humble vale
#

Ahh yeah, I must be doing something wrong, the VRChat becomes unresponsive.

azure wren
#

Uhh

#

Heyo

#

Im kinda new on vrchat, but im aldy looking for a VR set

#

Anyone got suggestions?

thorny totem
#

you have a wide choice, depend of the money you want to invest in, your PC etc

#

the cheapest -> Lenovo Explorer (good deal money wise) ; the best All round Oculus (Price feature comparaison) ; The best tracking flexibility -> Vive

azure wren
#

Uhmm

humble vale
#

<-- I am still rocking the Oculus DK2

#

haha

azure wren
#

I found a

#

Vive set with hand controllers for

#

900 bucks

thorny totem
#

900?

azure wren
#

Should i buy pieces all together

#

Or separately?

thorny totem
#

Canadian $?

azure wren
#

Nope

#

humble vale
#

I bought it immediately after getting into the EVE Valkyrie Pre-Alpha... now just hang my head in depression.. XD

azure wren
#

Im totally new to everything related to VR rn

thorny totem
#

900€ it's overpriced for a vive, it should be around 500€ by now

floral aspen
#

that's way overpriced

humble vale
#

You should have generally a 9XX or 10XX version video card (if nvidia) at minimum

azure wren
#

Haha

humble vale
#

Kane, export costs man

azure wren
#

Nvm then

humble vale
#

Trade wars.

azure wren
#

First i gotta buy a better card

humble vale
#

Gab, I was able to run on a gtx 750Ti but it is NOT supported

floral aspen
#

what do you have right now?

azure wren
#

Pls

thorny totem
#

export cost? for EU? @humble vale i don't think so :P

azure wren
#

I dont wanna throw shame on my family

humble vale
#

They've always been high to acquire Oculus and such in EU compared to US. A few years ago Valk pilots were buying in US and shipping to UK

azure wren
#

Got a radeon HD 7660

thorny totem
#

radeon 7660 is limit don't expect miracles

azure wren
#

Ik man

humble vale
#

Yeah, 20-40 fps

azure wren
#

Lately ive been stuck with almost all games

floral aspen
#

oof
that's a low/mid tier card from 2013

azure wren
#

Well last time i upgraded my pc

#

Was 2013

thorny totem
#

Upgrade your PC, and get a lenovo Explorer ;) (was on sale at $149 few weeks ago)

azure wren
#

Whats that ._.

humble vale
#

Lenovo Explorer?
