How do you do custom emotes on avatars
#vrchat-general-2
pseudo herald
whole lodge
Add one
river thunder
im in unity you meme
tacit plank
You should look into the gesture tutorials on Youtube, Oso
Rig it as non-humanoid and T-pose new users into submission
river thunder
but thats not fun
My last avatar that I attempted to make work was stuck in a tpose
sure
this one has public varients out there
pseudo herald
No I mean like how do you activate ones that already have it?
tacit plank
Oh, you duplicate the avatar, make a new animation and then add the shapekeys to it. Then you delete the duplicate and drag the new animation into an "overridecontroller" which you can find the SDK (remember to duplicate it so that you have one ready for next model)
river thunder
are you talking to me?
pseudo herald
um ok, thanks
tacit plank
Well, if you need a humanoid version, the only thing you can do is rig it yourself
That was to Oso
pseudo herald
ye
river thunder
oh
tacit plank
You can just replace the .fbx file though, unless you did big modifications it will work
So no need to redo dynamic bones
I mean replace the .fbx file manually in the file browser
river thunder
There really is no dynamic bones
Its just a pain in the ass to apply all the shaders and textures again
pseudo herald
yeah
tacit plank
That happens automatically though
First you drop in all textures, then you throw in the FBX and all the textures gets added the right places, no?
tacit plank
Huh, all of mine do it automatically
Even if I get them from an old Japanese archive or whatever
acoustic lotus
rip vet tag

And now we enter the timezone where everybody is sleeping
rough pulsar
I would be sleeping but I can't breathe because of this damn cold so I'm hopping in VR in a bit because standing up keeps my airways clear, somehow.
rough pulsar
Feels like a fairly regular cold, should be done in about 5-6 days.
near sky
Man, everyone's getting a cold now.. the pond doesn't change it
Hope you recover some time soon
queen mango
Is it cold in the US already?
raven silo
did you went to doctor gallium?
queen mango
@raven silo Dr. Gallium's having a cold today.
queen mango
Philippines is pretty hot too. Probably 32ยฐC right now.
vocal shard
hah it is 0.1 farenheight
rough pulsar
Nah, a regular cold isn't worth seeing a doctor for unless there's weird things going on with it. I'll be fine in a week or so. Until then, decongestants and fluids.
And off into VR I go
queen mango
feelsbadman
I wanna experience winter, dammit!
rough pulsar
When the boiler breaks and you have to wear gloves while at your computer just to stop your hands from hurting from the cold I feel you may reconsider. ;D
queen mango
It would be true if I was living in the cold all day.
But no, I'm more tired of experiencing constant heatwaves, so...
Iโll be taking a 3-day vacation somewhere further away fron the equator.
tacit plank
I'm the opposite, I'm always cold
It was enjoyable for about a month some time ago, but that month was the warmed on record ever, so I can't really count on that happening again
vocal shard
thats why i always have mummy warm up my good boy tendie feast right around the middle of september
i have to pack on the pounds if im to survive this cruel world and make it through another season

vocal shard
im trying to play a vrchat world through a link

vocal shard

sonic verge

patent tide
hi, i have question, why VRchat slow downloading maps? i have 300MB and take 10 minutes for 80mb map
sonic verge
depends on location really
patent tide
me or worlds?
sonic verge
you
patent tide
oh ok, i'm from Argentina
sonic verge
waiiit if youre argentina that shouldnt be much of a problem
the one and only server in this thing is somewhere around the UK i believe
patent tide
hmm okok thanks you
rough flax
@patent tide servers are ran on potatoes 
I have a 200 megabit connection and it doesn't download at that. Maybe half at most, and I'm on Ethernet and use an SSD.
vocal shard
Anybody that have Xbox and play fortnite that I can add quickly and checkout this freakin cross-play platform
quaint dawn
Tfw arms hurt because of headpatting cute anime girls for several hours every day
Anyone else have this problem?
vocal shard
No...
Lol
not ascending to a higher plane of existance after headpatting atleast 30 traps and growing an extra 4 arms to headpat even more traps thus even growing more arms
normie
quaint dawn
I'm planning on buying leg trackers tho
vocal shard
omg i wanna play werewolf and no1 invites
oof
sir if you try to headpat a loli with your foot that is assault and battery
๐ค
quaint dawn
There's no police in the VR world
queen mango
They have Loli Police
vocal shard
the laws of vrchat are enforced by russian people
๐
usually with white bunny avatars
quaint dawn
They can't stop me from headpatting?
vocal shard
if you're placed under arrest they'll say fucka you man

candid hare
will the 'invite only' beta be closing soon too? just noticed streamers with the Veteran tag
vocal shard
Don't know... But the latest notes on the beta said that they removed the veteran tag
candid hare
nope, still there.
candid hare
I don't think a special group should be getting preferential treatment though.
leaden kiln
They may have updates disabled so they're still running the open beta. They can't see anyone else but they only hang out with each other so they don't care.
candid hare
they were running a different beta while we had the open beta
its like... a private beta
indigo fern
Streamer beta 
leaden kiln
Could be the closed one then
candid hare
im suspecting there will be alot of complaining when some lose their veteran tag
streamers and non-streamers a like
vocal shard
The next few weeks will be crazy...
Just earlier today, people were freaking over the patch notes
candid hare
IIRC didn't they want to go live this week?
vocal shard
They did, but the announcements changed that
candid hare
well they kind of screwed it up. and the Veteran rank was meaning less.
umbral oracle
They had a fair number of issues in the last beta with blocking not working sometimes or unblocking stuff not working etc. so it makes sense to do another open beta and make sure they didn't miss anything. The information for shader authors is also quite helpful so we can design effects that still look ok with custom shaders off
candid hare
is there a way to get more shaders whitelisted?
umbral oracle
If you are the only person using it possibly not. If it's a general purpose really nice looking shader then maybe it can be added. For example xiexe is not a vrchat dev but he made something cool and people started using it. There are some other toon shaders that hopefully will be added too
candid hare
i've got a Xiexe shader. i dont know if its an old version though
umbral oracle
A submission process might be nice if they consider such a thing but even then you would have to wait a couple months for it to be included in the next version of vrchat.
Xiexe should be good. Make sure it is not too old. The earlier versions did not use _MainTex for the texture name and this causes you to turn white
candid hare
ohh and if they are friends you can see any kind of shader they got right?
umbral oracle
Yep friends are the new vets, more trusted than trusted
leaden kiln
Saw some issues with friends shaders and effects being blocked too
sonic verge
so the update is live or not?
indigo fern
Nop
umbral oracle
I believe they said later this week there will be another open beta
candid hare
i hope they push the streamers to use the same one and we can see others online that are not in the beta
vocal shard
i would say before Saturday or on Saturday.
candid hare
i'm hoping friday
vocal shard
same
candid hare
maybe friday then a hotfix on saturday
raven silo
@candid hare open beta going show old beta
they didnt update new open beta yet
when they do see in #open-beta-info

Makes sense GG

Does anyone have any knowledge on PMX editor? my friend is running into an issue and i'm trying to help him

...
The fact that they removed Veteran bc people are butthurt pisses me off
spend so much time in the game and people crying because they dont have it. and now its removed for everyone.
vocal shard
I'm sure they're reworking it. Like they said, it doesn't really fit into the idea of the "trust system"
I'm sure they'll add something else to identify those that had the veteran tag
they dont. bc then people start crying about it again.
anyone werewolf
People cried about trusted to... So
stable jolt
I was born 1/100 werewolf
raven silo
social should never rank system it destory it it happen in alt space
vocal shard
I personally agree with jaz
But, we're yet to see the full effect g it will have in this game...
raven silo
but i perfer system use for world games like you win game from udon made game get title but everyone can get it by beat that game
vocal shard
Its more a prove that you spend alot time into the game.
for me its something that people wanna be so they spend more time in vrc.
But now they just took it off and everyone is purple. that is stupid.
raven silo
dont need rank show off if you enjoy vrchat dont let tag hold you down
vocal shard
reee
raven silo
what rank system make Jocks and loser
vocal shard
But vrchat isn't about showing off...
Proceeds to spend hours on an avatar to wow others
Lol
lul
somebody lost his veteran rank and is butthurt
filthy elitist
if they do it that way just remove every rank.
and not just one.
they dont want
they want a ranking system
no matter
raven silo
Veteran rank was really missed up half people who were veteran not in vrchat that long
vocal shard
supposedly for security
also showing off your rank is dumb
you show off with your avatar creations not some worthless rank
raven silo
yea show off your avatar you want i dont judge person by there avatar lol
it how they talk and act
raven silo
to be honest any rank im disable particle and lighting i just and dyamic bone
when they get dyamic bone added
vocal shard
i had on all the ranks everything turned off.
i want them to add the fucking cameras to the filters
Veteran can still be a crasher.
The cameras were fun 
raven silo
helper rank mean you helpout vrchat
vocal shard
same as the nuisance filter
No shit but how would they make the lvling system to work.
you add an extra icon for helper role
Idk...
and you can choose if you want to have it
raven silo
dont level helper rank you earn it
vocal shard
yikes.
vocal shard
you know how many people i help and vr doesnt know about it.
I think most of us are like that 
raven silo
i help out alot before it was popluar
was help whole month new people how upload anime avatar
before cat plugin
even before tupper
made his video lol
vocal shard
Nice
jazneo is a true veteran lmao
Mhmm
same as pan
they played this game long before it was popular
Yeah
Og
queen mango
What about those who played VRChat after the UgKnuckles era?
vocal shard
what about them ?
a lot people joined the game just for that meme
Doesn't make much difference
most of them stopped
vocal shard
you only have people that actually care a little about the game
If someone loves the game, they love the game
raven silo
to be honest it was old days
to many people lol
i wish invite system did had option only VR user can enter. reason i bought vr talk with other VR user
raven silo
half desktop user are kids
vocal shard
xD
I could see that being worse than the ranks tbh. This far into the development
Still doesnt give you the right to do something like that.
they never gonna do something like that.
raven silo
it opiton lol
vocal shard
that would kill vrc.
vocal shard
Its a social game. So everybody can talk to everybody.
its Called VRChat for a reason
queen mango
@raven silo I take offense to that comment
vocal shard
It would be used too often
raven silo
half time i get whole room young kids scream on mic
unreal gyro
Hi, all.
I want to upload avator and worlds. I know the trust system. It requires New User rank to upload them. What should I do I change the rank to New User?
vocal shard
They dont gonna add it to the game. just bc people would group up and ignore other people
Play the game
@unreal gyro play the game
check the pins of this channel to see more
its already like that. they dont need to do that stuff that makes it worse
It's not a time based system
Try to be active and make friends
thick flare
when was the knuckle period?
thick flare
i joined after that then, never knew about it before that
unreal gyro
@vocal shard ok. thanks
vocal shard
I took a break during that
Didn't play
you avoided the second most awful moment of vrchat
nice
neon flume
What was the most awful?
thick flare
^
thick flare
ah
vocal shard
and the modded clients started to get shared
Yeah, I guess
so you couldnt get into a public world without getting your avatar stolen and/or crashed
vocal shard
then it got even worse
when some kinds discovered screenspace sahder
and they would spam gore, scat and porn on your screen
which lead to the current panic mode system
along with a particle limiter some time after
Knuckels left russian kids joined in
neon flume
huh I was actually around by that point. I joined early feb. Mostly managed to avoid all of that for my first few months.
vocal shard
and then it took again 2 months to calm down
it's because of that period
great
that most people stayed in private for a very long time
i have some friends that started to get out of private only now
they all say that they had a lot of fun
being locked in private only worlds for 6-7 months must be pretty boring real quick
thick flare
i have been hiding in private since i got the upload right,lel
queen mango
I joined in by May 14
thick flare
the point is it took me months just to learn most of the basics in unity/blender
queen mango
I did hear of the meme, but I joined in because I never had socialized in a big place before.
vocal shard
same for everyone teito
thick flare
so i end up in private most of the time
vocal shard
at the time i started it was a bit harder
since no one did any tutorials
you were on your own for quite some time
thick flare
not really trying to hide
neon flume
Yeah I've always spent time in public. The particle limiter helped a bit with crashing and I'm careful to leave rooms if they get too busy.
thick flare
i still find it hard to find world related tutorial though
queen mango
@vocal shardAbout those modded clients, I had one happen to me. I think it uses an earrape version of Minecraft and overrides the UI.
thick flare
ah
that is not the worst
i actually got my avatar stolen once when i just started uploading my own
vocal shard
First time my avatar was stolen, I gave the guy a hug. Lol
Didn't realize how bad stealing was about to get
queen mango
So, you hugged yourself?
thick flare
which is why i decided to make my world public once i have around 5 avatars
if they are going to steal it, i might as well make it public
i only have 3 though
vocal shard
I just tag mine...
@queen mango not a modded client tho
you can do that with just what unity allows you to upload
thick flare
that can be done without modifying anything
either audacity or adjusting it in animation
vocal shard
modded client can simply log you off the game without leaving a log behind, so you got no proof that somebody fucked you
they can also make your model shrink or grow
queen mango
Oh.
vocal shard
and a new hack is going around apparently
warped thorn
Avatar stealing is never really going away just because of how Unity is, unfortunately. So... yeah. Don't upload anything you don't mind being stolen.
vocal shard
which transform everyone in the room in the same model
and you can't change back
you need to leave and come back again
vocal shard
alaylle, unity doesnt matter with avatar stealing
it's the game itself
pretty sure they fixed the avatar blueprint stealing in the next update
but it's a unity game....
so one of the only way to steal an avatar is by cache ripping
which isnt that common
and pretty annoying to do
raven silo
not worth to do it
warped thorn
@vocal shard It's pretty easy, actually. And ALL Unity games have this problem.
thick flare
it is probably easier for them to make a new model
vocal shard
all games have this problem tbh
cache ripping is a thing on every game and you will never be able to fix that
somebody will eventually find a way to take your assets
raven silo
better off game ripped from game then try ripped from vrchat lol
warped thorn
Yup. So yeah. Don't upload anything unless you don't mind it being stolen.
thick flare
if i make it public i feel better
vocal shard
to be honest
raven silo
only favorite public one
vocal shard
they dont just steal random avatars most of the time
you need to have something interesting on it
some sort of animation
rough flax
vrchat down rip
thick flare
well... mine is a standard mmd dance with song
thick flare
not sure why they'd bother
vocal shard
if you have an avatar with really cool shader, effects and animation
then yeah
get ready for steal
raven silo
my avatar base on me lol
vocal shard
fucking jazneo, putting himself in the game
Simple... Have different avatars for public and private rooms...
exactly
i made a new model
raven silo
well i like to be different dont want be other link
vocal shard
the one i usually use
raven silo
lol
raven silo
i was play as kirito avatar for long time in vrchat
vocal shard
so i will either play as that model or the monkey
dire palm
@vocal shard only saw you once and it was that monkey avatar xd
raven silo
but upload avatar figure how to work blender you someday want to make avatar what you want base on your self
so people get to know you better
vocal shard
Svel is probably most known as the monkey
raven silo
then other Link,mario etc
warped thorn
Makes me wonder if I should put on the canny a request for "Different avatars for friends and non-friends".
raven silo
think vrchat plain was market avatar but that might change lol
vocal shard
@dire palm aww, i'm sorry, i don't remember your name
but yeah
the monkey is the one i use the most
since i'm in public
and it's my public model
dire palm
its okay i was just looking at you guys it was on oknuj world
dire palm
most friends to private are in that world public just alittle
bitter fractal
Not gonna lie, not really enjoying how people keep crashing the servers with there avatars and the only way to deal with it is to block everyones avatar.
twin jacinth
Yeah Carolina
i like to see Avatar's so i don't block them, i do crash sometimes but it's really rare these days compared to before
i might crash at max once a week and i play pretty much everyday, but it also depends on how much i'm in public.
thick flare
well, i blocked the obvious one during my rare occasion of going to public
near saffron
Lucky, I probs get once a day. Tho I really need to set up particle limiter
thick flare
you know, the one with different shaders for every single part of the body
bitter fractal
If there is a way to set a particle limit
please let me know, I've been crashed twice in the span of 4 hours

Yep, I know which ones u mean. Often blasting music to

Does vrchat have any plans on releasing on oculus quest if so its an instant buy for me
umbral reef
I wonder if that thing can even run VRC in its current state
quaint solar
Like imagine hopping on the bus. And just enter VRchat
umbral reef
Like its pretty much going to have phone processing power without the extra software needed so a bit better but not high end pc strong
quaint solar
It can run the vader immortal thing
umbral reef
Yea but does it run them downgraded or what? Unless we can get the real product in our hands we dont know
rough pulsar
Considering that in its current state a high end PC struggles with VRChat, a lot would have to change before it could run on mobile hardware.
umbral reef
Its the same with most of this tech- You can claim everything but only once you really have it you can judge it
quaint solar
So i mean, optimizing is needed. But thats needed for even pc tbh
Im running a 1050 ti and i7
And still drop frames
rough pulsar
standalone HMD oculus showed off at OC5
forest salmon
My question is how they are planning to cool the oculus quest. Cause from what I can tell it looks like it's cooled passively
umbral reef
Like big odds with the higher res screen they will just render then 2x2 or even 4x4 instead of lose
quaint solar
Its a new rift announced today thars standalone
umbral reef
So that its still high end- But not really
vocal shard
new rift ?
rough pulsar
Generally looks like a souped up oculus go with more tracking
umbral reef
Also- I wonder how fast the battery will drain...
queen mango
Hope VR gets mainstream, though.
I don't want to see it die out like this. Not now.
quaint solar
Like what?
queen mango
Like fade into obscurity again, like it did in the 90s
vocal shard
we have the technology now to make Vr actually work properly
quaint solar
Way too much money piures in
vocal shard
the 90s weren't ready for it
umbral reef
The tech in the 90's was just not there for proper VR
vocal shard
we just need more people making good headsets
umbral reef
Its is now for the most part
vocal shard
cuz vive and rift are expensive as fuck
quaint solar
Healthy competition
vocal shard
yup
umbral reef
Like its being used in stored and its already being developed past just VR- Like AR, Work training, Sales and ect
rough pulsar
Any new headsets are also gonna be expensive, it's still the early days of the tech.
vocal shard
yup
queen mango
@vocal shard Yeah. Microsoft is trying to offer a cheaper alternative, but their headsets are still expensive as hell.
umbral reef
Headsets are prob always going to be expensive just like phones...
vocal shard
they are just starting now to develop it more and more
umbral reef
All new tech that is small and fast is expensive
vocal shard
which is really nice
quaint solar
Walmart bought a pretty sizeable amount for vr training
rough pulsar
Yeah, but... walmart ._.
queen mango
Yea. It's a start. Long way though.
quaint solar
A new iphone is more expensive
vocal shard
we are probably going to have more choices in like 5 years
quaint solar
Nah i ld give it 3
rough pulsar
Well, the Pimax5k and 8k seem to be making good progress
quaint solar
Too many big leauge players for a slow return
rough pulsar
And who knows what Valve are doing. They share what they want to, when they want to.
quaint solar
Can someone make an lgbt hangout?
vocal shard
problem with pimax
quaint solar
In vrchat
rough pulsar
Yeah, it's like a 1080 minimum or so.
quaint solar
They have earned their right to secrecy
rough pulsar
the 5k and 8k run at the same render resolution, just the 8k upscales the signal.
umbral reef
Valve is far from an saint though
There imago isnt as perfect as a few years ago... They do have to make true what they promise- And whats easier then to promise nothing!
quaint solar
They dont
rough pulsar
Also I believe with Valve being privately owned they have no obligation to publicly share what they're working on compared to Oculus/FB (someone correct me if I'm wrong on this)
vital rune
they dont give a flying fuck
umbral reef
@rough pulsar I know FB itself is publicly owned but The ZUCC has more then 50% of the shares so his say is law still
quaint solar
Yeah, but he still bends to the will of the public given the industry hes in
queen mango
So, Valve/HTC under GabeN and Facebook/Oculus under MZucc.
What else?
quaint solar
You cant spell facebook without face
Valve has been around for a while
I have yet to see them testify before congress, why? Cause they arent self sabotaging.
rough pulsar
Pimax, StarVR.
There were some noises from LG making a lighthouse tracked HMD but that went quiet. There was some stuff with them and some division of google developing high-res displays with multi resolution image transport.
quaint solar
They hand off third party agreements left and right

They always had issues, that's the price they paid for great games.
quaint solar
Mmm. No. If your selling a product your job is to make it needed.
Even if creating the problem first to make the need to exist
queen mango
@shy nest I think that was the Founders Packs.
umbral reef
Or some of the online retail stores
They treath there workers like shit but consumers like holy
shy nest
@queen mango I was more meaning they just needed money back in the day else they were going to go bankrupt, I personally dont care about founder packs. It was a good way to kickstart the game
north axle
I wonder how VRChat treats their staff.
queen mango
It is. Without the program, DE would have ceased to exist.
And Rebecca would not be able to say that they have 26 million registered losers.

Ok.

queen mango

quaint solar
Yes.
north axle
Define bad.
umbral reef
VR an pray on escapism? Isnt PC gaming also already that?
vocal shard
yup
quaint solar
To deny ones reality is actually a evolutionary response to stress
vocal shard
but it's easier in VR i guess
umbral reef
Fairly sure there is an full illegal industry that does the escaping better then any gaming does anyway
queen mango
@umbral reef Ooh... You're talking about the sin industry there.
quaint solar
Drugs
north axle
That's even worse.
rough pulsar
Consider a person in a situation that's temporary, but very limiting. Say long term hospital patient due to physical injury.
What do you think of giving them a chance of escapism to help cope with such a situation?
quaint solar
Do you guys wanna meet in vrchat?
ruby burrow
Just wait until the devs have to deal with the virtual drugs.
quaint solar
To discuss this more

Hell, even the drawings some cavemen made a long-a** time ago counts as escapism.

Sexuality in VR-Chat is too confusing to think about. Everyone just defaults to pseudo-bi. Is easier.

yo pan, i really like your week-ality
i started to read the newest entries
very nice
north axle
Thanks. I worked really hard on the whole project.
umbral reef
I dont think having an room for people of an group that often gets hate is smart to have in an game like VRC
You would almost need accounts recording 24/7 in there ๐
ruby burrow
It probably would be a glowing target for crashers.
I was trying to explain to a bi guy earlier, who was new to the game, that neither myself or my friends were bi. That's its somehow just how the game plays out.
vocal shard
almost everyone is bi in this fucking game

It does work anyway.

Is this Pan Diman the famous VRChat inc. employee?

I changed the name a bit after several people DM'd me because they thought I work for VRC.

You dont? 
ruby burrow
I often end up lurking around suspected crashers, waiting to get something reportable. If it weren't for the slight risk of a crash upsetting my PC, I'd just swap to an avatar that could give them the middle finger and get my crash log that way.

quaint dawn
why all avatar creation tutorials are about taking an existing model and making it work for vrchat
vocal shard
cuz it's the easy way
quaint dawn
but what if you want to start from scratch
shy nest
create a model yourself then
quaint dawn
make an avatar yourself
shy nest
rig it
true sky
@quaint dawn easier way to teach them so they can rig others on their own
quaint dawn
yea its hard to find guides for that
ruby burrow
For that, you basically want to just find a blender tutorial instead.
inner cape
Cause if a person wants to make a model from scratch, dont look for vrc tutorials, look for actual modelling/sculpting tuts
shy nest
just extrude 
inner cape
Extrude 2D pic
vocal shard
"hard to find"
inner cape
vocal shard
there are tons of blender tutorials to make a model from scratch
quaint dawn
so do most of the people just take an existing model from somewhere and edit it?
north axle
If they don't want to make any on their own, yeah, probably.
umbral reef
If they want an MMD you can
Find an model online, fix it up and import it
Mix and match things
Take an model and change things on it like materials/more then just that
vocal shard
they take something already made and modifiy it for what they want
umbral reef
Most people opt for the first- Then the second then third
north axle
If you want to make your own stuff, you'll have to start making potato models first.
quaint dawn
alright ill start from editing models
inner cape
Good way to start
First you just import models
Then you start adding more stuff to the model and editing it
Then you start making your own parts and adding them on
And at last, you create a kustom avatar
shy nest
you can sorta find models from anything
quaint dawn
ok ty
shy nest
mmd is easiest to start, then you got shit like xps/smd/tmc
smd usually has fucked weight painting
not like completely just poorly done
inner cape
No u smd
vocal shard
it's good to start by editing other models to learn all the tools of the software
shy nest
vocal shard
when you get comfortable with the UI and tools, you can already start doing some custom stuff
shy nest
blender is finally clicking for me
quaint dawn
i only know how to use photoshop but never touched 3d stuff before
shy nest
well just a heads up, blender can be pretty overwhelming
its ui aint that great
but its free so you'll learn to like it
umbral reef
Blender is 90% keyboard shortcuts
There is stuff you cant do without using them lmao
Atleast so far i cared to look
shy nest
no shift f
shy nest
make sure to use shift f to fly around or else you a big nerd
gonna yoink that image aswell tho, thank
ruby burrow
I came from the same background as Petri. Self taught myself photoshop mostly via trial and error, and casual practice. Made the mistake of thinking I could do the same for blender.
Had to look up a tutorial purely for how the move the sodding camera correctly.
shy nest
first time i installed blender (way before vrchat was a thing) i couldnt figure out how to move the camera so i uninstalled it
ruby burrow
The UI on that program is like trying to drive a car using a feral cat for a steering wheel, whilst wearing mittens made of cactus.
inner cape
ruby burrow
Also the cat will occasionally fade in and out of various other dimensions, and thus interact with your attempts to manipulate it in wildly different and horrifying unexpected ways.
Trying to follow a video tutorial to the letter, one that featured handy visual prompts for keyboard short-cuts. "Why can't I get into edit mode like he does!? Are my shortcut keys out of date?"
inner cape
"Mind If I delete a mesh or 2 when you import something in? You do? I'll delete it anyway"
My world making experience
ruby burrow
Only to discover that the shortcut keys are also context sensitive to where you have your mouse cursor on the screen. <_>
shy nest
i just hate accidently hitting a keyboard shortcut and either a)not realize and have it come bite me in the ass later or b) ctrl+z and because they keyboard short cut didnt actually do anything I undo something and not know what I just did
ruby burrow
Same.
shy nest
oh and also fuck aabb errors when importing to unity
have found that i have to redo the entire model for it to not be fucked

You should report them by following the instructions at #moderation-reports

Nah, if its that involved im cool
Shouldnt take that much to report a person literally flashing male genitals in a public room

Reporting their username and some degree of evidence should generally do it.
quaint solar
Yeah. Too invloved.
vocal shard
dont complain then
quaint solar
Ok
vocal shard
it take like 1 minute to send an email with a screenshot
quaint solar
Yeah. Not if 1 youre on an oculus without a built in shorcut. And 2. A screen shaking avatar with flying dick pics is harder to capture.
Using rift core 1
Yeah cpu cant handle 2 for some treason
Yup. And i was crashed so very unlikely ill be able to do much now.

any ladies around that would be cool to do some voice acting work for free, I just need one line

Atleast offer some sort of compensation.

Gotta offer some prefabs
true sky
usually outputlogs can help if you cant get the username
plus it says what avatar they switch to and some will usually name the avatar the name of what it does
ruby burrow
If you can screenshot even a portion of a crashers name, and have a vague idea of how it looked or sounded, you can use the search function in notepad to scan the logs for their name.
If you were crashed yourself, the logs will generally contain good evidence that some form of crash tool was used, meaning you don't necessarily have to get a shot of the crash tool visibly in action.

I just preemptively blocked the dick pic guy, thank you for your sacrifice @quaint solar

@rough pulsar then what i need to do when i see someone is hacking

Definitely send any evidence to that email (output logs, screenshots, etc) but again, you can't expect a response unless they need more info.
