@glossy wharf it's been unsupported for certain reasons
Vive trackers on the Rift.
You can do that?
Yup
yeah
Neat
alotta sensors tho
@true sky its been unsupported because you literally have an api endpoint where you can see the 100 last uploaded avatars with future proofing
Need 2 Vive Lighthouses and 3 Vive trackers
and just grab them
But I dont htink my PC has enough UBS contacts for that :p
Gonna actually go to bed now
get a hub then
Ow btw- If you ever want to scream in monochrome and have a monochrome facecam you can just use your Oculus camera's
get a usb extension card.
just get a usb hub
You only need one lighthouse
get two if you dont want it to be shit.
Tracking is really solid with only one.
And this is gonna cost me what?
tracking sucks ass with one.
Not when you turn around...
yeah helps if u wana actuallly walk around alot
270 for Lighthouse, 300 for Trackers
tracking is already scuffing sometimes with two sensors
and IDK for the hub
a usb hub is like 10 bucks
But a vive+FBT will cost you 800 anyway, and then you'll have a vive so that's bad on its own lol
Just be aware that when the touch controller touch your vive trackers it will jump around.
Especially on the hip
Yeah that's still more than I can afford :p I had enough paying for the Oculus Rift for 400.
that also happens if you put your hand on the tracker a certain way
You really have to cover them up for that to happen.
I just place the touch controller on my hip and whoosh I go.
Imma get a good hub though, I feel like I need it because I've had to use some UBS 2.0 ports.
Get the ones from Inatek. They're the recommended ones from Oculus.
the PCI hub cards looked to be more expensive
its also a lot better.
with less ports
you can get some with 4-5 ports
So who wants to deliver food to my work ๐
your favorite pizza place after you pay them
looks like a case of sucks to be you
Well- I still get free food with plenty of options here
I found a 7 port one!
Oh really?
I have that's one but had hmd issues when it was connected there
Btw i wonder- What does the F in Fpaul stand for 
i wanna say it but i fear ima be kicked xD
best not say it then
Fresh Paul
Friend paul

@narrow burrow
I have heard rumours about tomorrow when unity gets updated all off dynamics bones on character will be broken
rumors ๐ฝ
I heard VRC will thanos claps people for jokes
heartlexx
But dude- Legit hop onto the beta and you know its not even a rumor but a blatant lie from a dumb person (the guy who started this)
wat
come here

who dis
its a bs runor always started by someone dumb
I heard the new update replaces your legs with your arms.
whats the next rumor: you get banned for using cloth on avatars ๐
next rumor is you get banned for sfw avatars, and they need to be nsfw to be allowed
when anyone starts a rumor, i always lose respect for the person who spreads it
Well I know some of you maybe think I said a dump thing but I just heard it from a friend
What? It's just a joke, bro.
heartlexx's gender is rumored to be female
@lean coyote then your friend hasnt been in open beta yet
Oof, that sounds like a dynamic bone rumour then ๐
I heard from a friend that you can get banned if you talk about the open beta in public.
If you didn't hear it from the #announcements page it's not confirmed
There are some really creepy people on this game
no shit lol
More news at 11
avoid them like the plague
only thing i see broken is some animations on game objects
that and you can flat out test if dynamic bones work on t he 2017 beta
@lunar zenith im telling the truth, i aint creepy
I was playing and some guy invited me to a private lobby, and told me to switch to an avatar on the pedestal for "Something fun" he was trying to get me to have sex with him on this game and I was like 'wtf?!?'
Who gets turned on by this lol?

@lunar zenith u mean in a serious manner? and a complete stranger...oof
I guess both? We were somewhat friends and he thought my kindness was a flirty gesture...
oh god
The ERP community in VRchat is pretty huge. You'd be surprised who's into this.
one of those people ew
I can think of some names...
I mean there are some particular friends i love to cuddle for hours tbh lol but that's it...nothing sexual related, screw that
But they're not all into erp
Well that's pretty ummmmm.... sad?
elire
not really? lol
go check random
It's just not what you're into.
So it's a fetish to have sex with anime characters through vr or something? Because I don't see a point to it, unless you're making fun of it
full on ignored
It's literally just phonesex Hatsun, it's been around....since phones.
@lunar zenith is it legal to kill em?
except in vr it feels more real for some i guess
makes sense
Makes sense, a lot of things seem more real.
๐ค
Either way, weird experience I just had, and creeped out apparently the community for this is "Huge"
yep
aye im gtg again and try not to kms caus of this
Oof.. You haven't seen all of it.
Yeah, I mean if you're not into it then that's fair enough.
Cuddling is fun and whatnot , but i also get creeped out sometimes, ive seen ppl legit moaning in publics...and no..it was not an act.
lol the wildest of wild people
They must've been holding their nut for too long there.
xD
November was a reasonably long month
For some people that's also their thing lol
I doubt anyone did that xD
but i don't rly care, i don't judge others, just do ur thing and be happy i guess c:
same
just find the lewd Japanese players...
O my..
I don't mind it either, what in a way getting tricked to try and do it, with the guy expecting me to be okay with it from pressure is pretty creepy imo
That would be a rare find...
yeah what you describe is 100% creepy and not OK
E Z Block tbh, that's just weird
Dude, just block the person and move one lol
I've met the lewd Japanese once... by joining off of Vflower
Hmm.. is that a world in VRC?
ah, the rare lewd JP users
I did, I was just describing what happened and now shocked + creeped out that the community for this is huge lol
That's somewhat confusing and traumatic knowing it might happen again xD
Most people don't try and trick you into stuff
sorry, slow typer so late response
that guy seems like a creeper lol
Just be prepared for weird things... this is the internet after all
it's bound to be somewhere
it's not even a vrc thing...is just internet in general
yeah, I played second life before >_>
VRC's basically discord... but in 3D
Not all of them are like him however.. I did meet an erp'er.. who seems to have VR time with another girl..
oh then you know what you're getting into lol
He's pretty nice, I can say..
It's just with VR though I can't help but imagine how things are IRL? are they humping the air or something? xD
Umm.. Yea..
That said cuddle groups are actually exceedingly common
LMAO
Usually in full body..
VR is wildin
Okay I'm done we got to get off this topic or I'll laugh to death xD
Yall be humpin air for a nut
There is a sex dungeon map out there...
Cuddling is mainly Huging/patin/being cute with someone , that's everywhere and i can't see wrong in that.
I've seen worse, Mic.
@woven steppe I've been there once, private instance..
I mean it's just people sitting close to eachother lol not really much to it
Trust me, I've seen some stuff too lol
The map I was invited to was a bedroom with a mirror in every angle of the bed lol
Yall haven't seen shit
which is why I keep suggesting they get sponsorship from lovense lol
I participate in cuddle puddles so yeah know what that's like.
I don't intend too.
Seen 2 full body guys do a reverse cowgirl in a public pug
@rigid crescent
nice idea
@covert anvil I did.. I was only 16
Cuddle puddele ๐
Shit was lit
Yeah, all the time really.
I mean, I guess for young people this is exciting? But I think it gets weirder if you're older and still doing this..
they could at least have done it in the basement... or the kitchen of the pug
Most people doing it aren't young? It's only "weird" from a point of view that doesn't really get it.
I'm 19 and this shits weird
But at its core, its just phonesex.
hatsun u got a bit of a closed mentality lol it's all about having fun. after all this is an escape from reality lol
If only they can take it to the bed, Lexx...
Uhhh...
Kiss me Thru the phone really aged didnt it?
If you really wanna get deep into it, you can honestly just call masturbation or sex outside of procreation weird
Oofie, we getin deep, im gona focus on my work lmao
lol gl
Just scan yourself and throw yourself in game for an extra layer of weird
Is this supposed to be sfw? ๐ค
x to Doubt
Uncanny Valley no ty
I heard 2017 unity was dropping today
2D avatar ERP lol
It would be better if we find those stuff in the Void club.. I heard the rules don't get followed there once they enter their rooms
Well- Mods are supposed to kill this convo bigtime
But uuu-- You need active mods for that
You heard wrong, unless it gets announced, in which case you heard right.
Active mods in here?

basic

i demand more hearts basic

But it's a rumor unless you hear it from a team member or read it in #announcements
good
Active mods in here is as much of a joke as chairs on avatar
Matter of weeks not months ๐
Aka a nice joke and smooth talk and nothing else
chairs on avatar... a fun mistake
Is Pan okay with this?
he aint here so-
Imagine requesting a mod ingame to sort out problems 
I mean it's obvious they changed their mind lol
not really a big enough deal it bring it up months later, it's the reason some devs don't like to tell people things
Well one thing memorable that happened to me in the chairs on avatar time was I got to sit on VRpill's lap...
the constant harping on things like that
Did he give you a one-month ban afterwards?
?
There mind on chairs? If hey didnt have it ready in any forma t all they should not have claimed it would be returned soon after they got removed...
he squirted one month ban particles... yes
4 year when?
It's really, really not that big of a deal. They said it would be back soon, it probably seemed like it would be. Things change.
It was during a party Shme was holding...
You know how aids there communication is
And its a big deal that they keep saying things but dont do them at all
all it does is make people not want to say things, even in passing
But they've been doing things? Scroll through the "completed" canny
If they said "We are working on it, its fairly low on priority list right now but one day it will return"
It changes EVERYTHING
You have every right to complain when you pay for something but right now you're just complaining about a free game which doesn't get any kind of revenue.
We know it will return but not any time soon
Unlike now where we expected it to return fast
To be fair... I thought VRChat needn't any improvements a year ago...
I'm surprised they actually update
@quartz basin complaining? Fairly sure its feedback
So because they said chairs would be back in X amount of time and things changed somewhere it's a big deal?
Like I said, it may have looked like they would return quickly.
@woven steppe Perpetually updating beta.. Just like Warframe
As they refused to comment on it later or gave any explanation? Yes
Its extremely bad communication that can be fixed super fast without effort
I mean back then VRchat to me was just (and it still is) a social platform where I can interact with folks and make friends... it did that job as well as it could have back then already.
Its legit a "Yea, sorry. We had to put it low on priority list right after we said that. Woopsies"
And its all G IMO
Its more then we have gotten now...
woopsies
lol discord patch notes
But then, Knuckles came.. and with the sudden surge in popularity comes a lot of kids..
Y'know how it ends..
yeah... now it's a social platform where you're not allowed customization until you spend a bit of time in it...
As right now the only way anyone can get information is by sucking up to the devs/admins ingame and hope they spill stuff
Get there attention on discord and thats fairly rare...
Email them and get a copy paste reply back
Just like real life.. people make a utopia, other people bring it down.
sucking up? wha
Loads of information on updates or changes (or how stuff works) has been gained from friends of staff...
yeah just @ and admin and they'll tell you
i dare you red
almost missed the space
From what i have seen some peeps really suck up instead of be buddies ๐
stop seeing them... problem solved
I mean I've literally heard people just walk up to Tupper and ask him shit lol
1 sucky sucky and u friend
I mean if it were R-banned
Never seen tupper ever in game
I've seen tupper in discord, pinging works I tell ya
been around with Ron and pill multiple times tho
I've seen him a few times since I think we have mutuals somewhere
but every time he shows up a bunch of orbiters end up following
you're only allowed to ping admins once though
so then the room is full and terrible and the people that aren't all star struck and shit just leave
what the hell's an orbiter?
orbiting indeed
but... isn't that sort of just normal?
no
Yeah, they follow them around because of who they are
Not just because they're friends, which may not even be the case
@woven steppe Usually a normal occurence to famous people
Oh come on... surely everyone has some of them friends who always try to be around you.
It's like how some streamers have orbiters, you see them fairly often. Typically trying to get the person's attention.
THat's not the same thing and you know it...
Oh you mean people who aren't your friends that's trying to BE your friends... but a bit too hard
I have friends I'm around all the time, yes, and they're all my friends. I don't constantly follow them around because they're a dev, a streamer, a girl, etc.
Somewhere around that
ok yeah I get what you mean now
But lots of streamers have them and sometimes girls just unknowingly get them. Orbiter has a negative connotation obviously. Real friends that just wanna hang out aren't lumped in with them though.
I don't think you can call anyone on VRchat a "real" friend.
wut
I could... some saved my life
yes, once your real friend gets into vrchat he becomes a fake
nevermind, I'm not expecting this to be an intelligent conversation based around facts ๐ฃ
Depends on the context..
Wait.. you had troubles before, Ach?
Is it the big update today? ๐
No one knows
Not yet?
i crashed, then vrchant wanted me to updated there policy
Let's just say I'd be dead for 9 months now if it wasn't for some people I met in VRC
Wow, the policy thing? I haven't got that for a long time.
policy update
there was one a long time ago.
I get what you're saying... man, that's screwed up.
I dont
yeah, just logged in and i didnt get one so it must be a bug, Town.
why would you be dead
i glad you found friend that making sure you good @woven steppe c:
when like every service did that I sort of gave up reading them after the first five.
@ember forum Could be something in his mind troubling him.
@rigid crescent What you said about tupper thats the thing- You need to seek them out in person or on discord to get actual information
If you email them you will 99/100 times get a copy pasted reply back... Or referred towards there documentation that is at times lacking
LOL i just joined a pug and heard some australian dude like "come on here love and gimme a lapdance" and he's an Angry Bird and the dude is like "YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A FUCKING LAP M8"
DO IT
future nuisance user confirmed ๐ฎ
should have asked for a beak dance then
wut? it was a friendly fun exchange in a pug, why would it be a nuisance
jk ๐
๐
nuisance is love nuisance is life
beak dance 2019
Oh I saw my first one, it was crazy. I unmute then and immediately hear screaming and cursing
just join wholesome group... which turns into lewd group after 2 months
O my...
I'm having trouble finding a world. I still have one of its avatars as my favorites so I know it's around, but the name tag on that avatar doesn't apply to finding hte world in search ๐ฆ the name tag on it says Classified, Public Avatar. Sadly, the Recent Server list doesn't go back far enough for me to find it.
@woven steppe How was it?
just search "Classified"
should show up, they fixed their avatars a week or two ago
just search 4Head
It doesnt show up
reasonable group that involved a lot of licking
Oh, then they may have taken it down.
๐ฆ
yes it would
my first time seeing a nuisance was someone using bed sheet inc avatar being racist
Removing a world doesn't remove the avatar ID, only the world.
yep
That's why I'm a fan of 3 maximum favorites avatars
It removes the avatar. I've had that happen before. For example, the world RustTV is gone and with it all the avatars.
and then blocked him ๐
He removed the avatars and the world.
you need to remove the avatar for it to disappear from the favorites of people
I adored his little Hoppou
Copyright reasons.. That HoppouCat wasn't his to begin with either..
Doh
wat hoppoucat?
The one in Elire's avatar!
But I love the HoppouCat.. The one with a little witch hat and big glasses
Yeah that one.
The crappy unoptimized hoppou cat you see in subcom
D:
is that the one with big paws for hands?
copyright reasons lul
The Hoppou cat on RustTV had this amazing hair effect and the most gorgeous eyes that shimmered.
Yep..
Since they took it down, I had to go for the Flandre Scarlet avatar in Rokk's avatar world
copyright reasons in vrchat? ๐ค
PRobably not.
If artists that made the original models complain, some people are nice enough to remove things.
If copyright was properly enforced... think about the multitude of streamers who are making money by playing as characters of something...
liek the same thing with eldorito?
I mean they make money playing copright games, I don't think that's the same
Any copyright enforcement would kill VRChat.
Article 13
Yamaha hasn't sued Vflower yet so... yeah
But that's also why I don't like people paying for making models work for people, when all they do is take someone elses work.
article 13 has been more of a meme than enforcement soo far imo
They're just paying to upload it and put it together, not for the assets
ever heard about payment for labor?
I know you're doing work, but it's done on something that ain't yours. Charging for that is dick move.
I guess you haven't read up about Article 13 then
You pay them to put together the avatar for you if you don't have enough time on your own hands to do it yourself.
You're paying for labor, not the parts of the model or the model itself, unless it's a true custom.
what, payment for labor? Never heard of it
what's article 13 again
Fuck your labor. You're taking someone elses work, someone elses thing, then earning money on it and the original creator gets fuck all for it. Dick move.
in which case you're paying for both
@vocal shard basically created to target memes and criticism. like fair use in america, except the exact opposite
Umm.. let's not get too overboard here.
That's like telling the worker building a wall for you "Fuck your labor... you didn't make those bricks... I'm not paying for that"
@true sky Not true at all... It got mode for diffrent reasons then that but it does effect those
@woven steppe They bought the bricks though or you own the bricks
Fairly sure they wont steal the bricks from a brick yard
you might be surprised
in the EU, you need my permission to talk crap about my work
You can't really compare it to something tangible like a building.
free bricks
Sure you can.
its dumb
If you did that things would get extremely silly.
Yea- And look how many free bricks are out thtere and who uses them... Almost none
no criticism = never getting better
I could extrapolate that by using subcom avatars, people who do the thing oyu dislike, you're actively advertising their work
or by using any avatar made by an avatar maker that does commissions
But that's just silly.
I'm saying it's wrong to charge for using someone elses work to earn yourself money, without their permission. Without anything really.
If you're using an avatar that says "HEY JOHNNY X MADE THIS" and he does commissions, you're advertising for him.
Imagine spending 60+ dollars to buy an avatar and It won't even work in 2017 version looool
@safe yacht Thats illegal even- So its not even the question if its wrong or right
Indeed it is.
Most avatars will work in the 2017 version, all they need is a simple reupload, at most
Mic thats the problem ๐
Yeah but most of the ones who buy dont get the unity package lol
i do have avatars in my world where credit is due and permission was given to use/modify the avatar
Most of the scummy avatar creators ask for the login stuff and do it that way
I know someone who got his avatar custom made by Shonzo for fucking 300โฌ.
So GL getting a reupload at all...
LOL "custom made" by shonzo
300 lmao
yay my rent
dont give the crybaby money jeez
Shonzo is a fucking hack.
100% fact
A gigantic POS.
I don't even know who that is. Might explaining why he's such a cunt?
who is shonzo?
Just an avatar maker
Why would anyone spend 300 on a avatar ๐คฆ
He wasn't a cunt to me... that's for sure
why not
To have something of their own, typically.
an avatar you cant reupload
300 though lmao
you can't say it's something of yours if someone else did it for you tho
That's not always true, and some will reup.
What?
What?
What?
So you never own a car?
Your computer isn't yours. You didn't make it.
I know a friend who spent 250 on an avatar... that didn't work

You didn't create the parts. Your computer isn't truly yours
worst thing about sending password is if they get banned, they will try to take you with them
Unless you get the files from your avatar you are paying for a temporary license ~
whats a reasonable price?
You dont own the avatar in any way or form then
hasnt happened yet
@wicked kestrel Depends what you need
Imagine saying its yours when it has "made by Shonzo" in the avatar picture
A reasonable price for an avatar is 0$. Make one yourself.
avatar licensing lul
I spent 200$ on a avatar just to see what the community can do, I was disappointed and will just make my own
friends?
:^)
You just spend 200$ for shits and giggles?
DreamlickerToday at 11:54 AM I know you're doing work, but it's done on something that ain't yours. Charging for that is dick move.
yes and no
what you're arguing is actually somewhat of a greyzone in IP law and philosophy
sure, they made the thing, but they're not rigging it for VR, are they?
you're providing a service they're not, someone can't always hold a monopoly over a virtual asset
that said under some countries it may or may not be outside of fair use and the like, maybe
basically.
baisc with the big boi cash
if it was good i'd use it mainly
@safe yacht
I paid 500 YEN for my avatar and it's really good.
@hollow surge Its not a greyzone
The laws on mmd's is fairly clear
I made my avatar and it's really bad
Oh those Booth avatars? thanks for reminding me ive been meaning to buy one
and that is approx 4 eur
Its not a formative work if your intention is to sell it...
There are no laws for MMD.
Most of them aren't laws, they're "rules" for mmd
I get my assets from there sometimes.
@umbral reef in which country
mmd avatars are the red flag as they dont want any modifications, uses on certain games, etc.
You don't break any laws by reselling their goods. You didn't break any copyright laws.
Comparing buying a car to buying a avatar? ๐ค okay then
tbh i didn't even know what MMD stood for until 20 seconds ago
What's te difference Snooze?
MMD = MikuMikuDance
canโt sleep so what is on here
honestly irl there is such a thing as resellers
i did say UNTIL 20 seconds ago
Wanna compare it to something digital? Imagine buying a video game, saying it's yours, and it says "Made by Nintendo" on it
Well, that's licensed.
Rebranding it is 100% illegal yes.

i like nintendo
MMD models on Booth are not
But that's not what we were talking about.
my gta is mine ree
That's why you don't buy digital games.
He's saying "imagine buying a custom, saying its yours, but it says made by someone else on it" it's still yours assuming its an actual custom
We were talking about a service to a single individual to re-rig something.
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Hell imagine buying literally anything and saying you own it but it has the creator's logo, name, etc on it. You don't own it any less.
imagine buying an idea and saying its yours
whether that person should be using that thing on VRChat it or not is VRChat's problem(and, they shouldn't be allowing it, but have fun enforcing that), but I'm pretty sure that service is grey area. It would need to go to court.
You can certainly have something custom made FOR you... but it definitely shouldn't be advertised as BY you
It still is depending on the copyright stuff they applied
And as almost all mmd's follow the same rule its simple...
the same rule
@umbral reef i am new man from today on
Please no- Advert changed there stuff and now you also
@hollow surge Almost all copy right goes to court... Its a civil thing
yes, that is me
wh
speaking of which... I need to draw a new PFP
oh hello sean
hi red
Only if that very thing has been copyrighted.
this one's not accurate anymore
@umbral reef yes and no. most of it is settled out of court because the outcome is obvious beforehand
whats wrong ghosto?
that is something that would need to be argued
Well yea- But its not like the cops will come
And out of court is technically court but friendly ๐
But in the past few years copyright has become a lot more refined with US atleast (and EU soon with new laws that sadly include Artc. 13)
meh
If you do work on it while you know its illegal and you dont let them sign off stuff saying they are responsible
You can be punished for it
Copyright is the reason inventions went to the shitter.
Same that you have to technical pay taxes over money earned from avatars
and i cant wait untill the first person gets in trouble for doing it as a side job for living but doesnt declare it
If you don't you'll get in trouble, who wants that?
patent your work bois
It's a service. The same way THOTs have to pay taxes.
its not like its an official job
Yeah, if you're making real money on avatars you should be paying taxes for it
Lmao- you can better break all copy right law, drive illegally and kill someone then fuck with taxes...
that doesn't matter?
The odds you get away by not paying your taxes is low
It's income, you still pay taxes on it. the banks and IRS pay attention lol
I mean, shouldnt you pay taxes on selling secondhand items too then
easy... just live in a country that doesn't care
You should, yes.
irs is mean
Are you a double taxer?
They dont care unless it goes above X amount of Y amount of items
Im calling the IRS
Typically the IRS doesn't go after people for doing a garage sale or something, but if you're making a decent amount of money off of avatars you need to be paying taxes on it, or you can get in actual trouble.
and how do you do that hmm
There's people making hundreds of dollars a month off commissions, some making even more.
You can earn shit ton of avatars it's crazy
You just add it to income. It's income.
decent money out of avatars... is the avatar market even large enough to have an actualy sustainable income from it?
Yes.
you basically say hello I'm earning money from unknown sources but I still wanna pay taxes
Yea
the hec
there's people maknig thousands of dollars a month. They're bigger creators and much less common but it happens.
You can earn 200-500$ pr Avatar depending lol
Lots of custom assets, etc
i payed at most 250$ for an avatar
I wish world commissioning was a thing lmao
It is.
it is
I know someone that sells avatars for 200-300 but has gotten up to 500$ for it
whaaaat
it is
i paid 200$ for one
@ember forum Once you have to pay taxes and declare them this stuff will become clear else you can hire someone to do this shit for you
Happily I'm not gonna need an avatar made for me anytime soon... I'm decent enough at making my own props for that...
Damn I found my new job cya
I don't even use blender...
Wow
You really can make good money from worlds, even if it's just bedrooms and hangout rooms, Snooze
i need an avatar made but i cant find anyone xD
i only know how to edit sme stuff in unity?
@rigid crescent really? Wth
If you're any good and interested in making money off it, definitely put yourself out there.
I build my props in Sketchup
it sounds retarded tbh, declaring that you have income from unknown sources
I need to look into that stuff
I mean you won't be able to quit your day job, but if you know what you're doing it's a nice bit of extra pocket change.
@vocal shard Game game assets as a side gig- those pay nice
Loads of indie games need someone who can create simple fast models and objects
i want to get into making modles, i only know hard surface modeling in blender though
Ay
By not declaring all your income, you can be punished.
a lot of people simply want a home world, usually just a bedroom and stuff.
Do you want to be a criminal?
You're not selling it, though. You're selling the service on an individual basis. If I started manufacturing a car, using stolen prints from it, I'd have an IP problem. This manufacturer has the right to manufacture this car.
But I can totally offer 3rd party modifications to that car, there's nothing the manufacturer can do about the 'image of the car being corrupted' or somethingsort.

Heck you're not even ruining the image of their product, unless you count displaying it in VRC. You're changing a mathematical model under the model.
If you're modifying the exterior of the model, sure, you're doing something which isn't covered by fair use, and which is in probable violation of copyright law since it's not the customer doing it. Modifying a skeleton and a shader isn't going to get anyone in legal trouble though.
Redfrag it's not, it's rules like not driving while drunk.
You will be punished for it if you dont and they find it out
i want a homeroom butttt i aint coughing cash for it sadly
It's not hard to find out for the IRS, especially with paypal and your bank account.
I mean I make some 3D props for friends for free anyway
The only way to MAYBE get away with it is only accepting cash IRL for it and that'll never happen
and stuffing it in your mattress
And since you can get money from the IRS being a fucking snitch and telling them of the income other people get...
You know sails, I've looked into that and I never see anyone actually saying they got paid for that.
Yikes
Has to be above an insane amount though @quartz basin
Pssst, don't ruin it.
Maybe it means bigtime whistleblowers that rat out real companies, where the IRS have something to gain
Its not as easy as peeps claim it is
hmmm are pictures allowed in here?
homeroom? @mighty galleon
That was the idea mic
host it somewhere on your own and they are
what town?
imgur, puush, etc
i want a homeroom butttt i aint coughing cash for it sadly
hmm
a home for VR
yeah
Trust me red, the IRS will know. You're using official channels like Paypal and your bank account to do business
you wnat to make your own home for vrchat??
Making worlds isn't too hard if you get the assets from the store
say you send money to a family member, would that still be taxed as income
i aint good with modelin
No
Not unless it's above a certain amount.
i am bored
less than 15k I believe and it's not taxable
so technically its the same but you dont have to declare
as i said though
VRC can totally get into trouble for its users using all these copyrighted models
Only a certain amount
i can make you a homeroom, if you know how to import it into unity
sounds like a good manners kind of thing
that's 100%
if anyone ever actually cared
i cant into unity
i know how to do unity stuff but thats all
Gifts (which includes property or money) can't be taxed unless it's over 15,000
ahh, ya just like draw me what you want and i can make it
Well, government want that sweet sweet inheritance tax.
@hollow surge along as theyโre not making money from vrchat itโs not illigal using models from other stuff
youtubers don't have a problem, their stuff is protected under the law
@hollow surge They dont though- All copyright is on the users right now
Can send a email and they will remove all stuff
and how do streamers, youtubers and patreon do it for example lul
what is that, @woven steppe
Many youtubers do actually have a company.
Thats kinda why Article 13 is sucha big problem
Because Any company hosting Any copyrighted content is responsible of it then instead of the user
@umbral reef When did that much change?
Oof that diss @woven steppe
They pay taxes on it Redfrag.
@hollow surge Always beena thing
Its hosting laws
Or should be.
fk, gotta find out the taxes on my 1$ donation
Donations and money from Twitch/Youtube/Etc is taxed.
article 13 is probably gonna get revoked real quick after they activate it
You're wrong then.
The company is responsible for removing or requesting removal internally, on prompt.
You pay taxes on youtube and patron yeah
Hahahaha, no
so I did as I was told
Article 13 is here to stay.
@olive mulch Pushback first needs to happen from companies
Throw EU in a bubble and block all big business and infra structure
You think EU can have a coherent thought?
Make them lose money and ezpz
again Red, only certain amounts are taxable.
the EU is falling apart anyways
RIP EU
Thanks to the new migration pact, it's gonna be a fast death for the EU and that's a good thing.,
Good thing Norway isn't a part of the EU
LuL
@hollow surge If they know there is copyrighted content yes
If they dont know they cant act upon it
didnโt italy have plans to leave?
Why you bringing in migration into This Smh
no bully EU though
unified Europe... good fantasy
i already lost tens of thousands from the EU being bullied
Im not sure how its done in US but declaring every bit of unofficial income seems kinda annoying
BUT if you're a dedicated streamer, youtuber, etc, you can write off things like cameras, computer parts, and other things as a business expense.
: ( (
Because lots of important EU states haven't signed for the migration pact.
@twin jacinth Still follows like 25% of the laws
You don't have to declare every bit of income, we've said that quite a bit
Thus no unity
You declare it if it exceeds a certain amount.
That's most likely every modern country.
@quartz basin Eu never had unity and thats the reason its around...
Since the day EU got made its been walking a thin line between breaking and exploding
And plenty of insanely well things have come from exactly that
lets all agree that oman should rule the eu
time to become an uber driver so i can write off my car 
Idk much about that aspect
If its your full time job and you fill stuff in right big odds you can get away with it or something stupid
tbh Oclac, just know we're not a part of the EU but we're associated i think
Uber actually tells you what you can deduct
hah
i don't have full time jobs
the eu is a big shit storm
Indeed
bad military shitty politics
@twin jacinth Its not a member but its within the EEA and EFTA
etc
EU, boosting about democracy while being the most undemocratic parliament.
Military is 100% Brittan fault though lmao
yeah
I'm fine with a bit of Reich.
anything better than communism
We're not allowed to have political discussions, and economic models take a looot of text to talk about as they're so complex
Well just wait until we get Yeeeted out
just ping tupper, caffeine
lol
yeah, doit :> 
YES
do it
tbh i have trouble getting emotional around increasingly petty IP laws when there's much more severe IP violations in much, much larger population centres
kinda like how we eek out more and more efficiency out of our little city car... which contribute significantly less than 1% of world pollution
MEANWHILE IN CHINA ON BOTH COUNTS
do it
That could get you kicked, which I don't want btw
such a buzzkill smh
But if I was looking to get banned, there's much more certain and entertaining ways
Like... Cirno hentai in random. That'd do it for sure. Anyways, I'm going home now, so laters
ok gl
and these politics are directly relevant to VRC (^:
therefore on topic (^:
Sve?
BUt against the rules Asko

Unfair reasons as well, certain chat mods smh.
Nikei confirmed for Smash Ultimate

Svelsien
law=/=politics anyways
law and philosophy are at the heart of any actual discussion ๐ค
article 13 is politics because it's not yet a law and it's all sorts of drama
i never brought that up i'm clean (^^^^:
screen off now (^^::

You just did
:woops:
Yeeted out

Japan shrine ooof no

The great pug ๐คข
The great advertising ๐
And that's it
epic
is this bm recruiting?
The advertising in spawn? Why is everyone complaining about the advertising
Yeah mic though recently there's been a few Japanese people hanging out there
ghostoooooo
@vocal shard Because it has stuff that others cant have within there world ๐
So unfair treathment- So we joke about it
nice double standards
Worlds are apparently not supposed to have advertisements, but hte Pug can lol
The great advertise*
Depends on what you are advertising
why cant they have advertisement?
Because its the rules 
booooo
No clue, it's just a rule. Previously it didn't matter though.
It's against the rules to advertise unauthorized products and services
Commissions and ect cant be posted within avatar worlds or other maps as they have been denied for it
But owl boy can~
But don't forget that owl boy made great pug 
lol
Yes
dont worry I'll suck up to admin and ask ingame lol
Lol wait so Owl can advertise but no one else?
nani tf
oclac how many people wont recognize me now
Just submit a moderation report guys
Almost everyone tbh
I'm sure they'll handle it.
Yooo If he is allowed to use scripts.....
Lmao that's straight up retarded from the admins to approve of that
almost everyone, sean
@rigid crescent Just write a 1.5 page professional feedback letter and get less of a reply then a shoddy "I dont like this happening!" email...
a l m o s t
Oh yeah, "please remove commission advertisement from world"
i can cause mischeife....
Meanwhile owlboy gets special boy privileges yet again

Unity asset store is still down so I still can't port my models to 2017.
