someone should just develop actual trackers and sensors for lower body

earnest vortex
#

they do have those. IT's called a motion capture suit

vocal shard
#

does it work with steam vr

#

The oculus isn't able to support more trackers due to the bandwidth

#

They would need something new

crisp ruin
#

i like the oculus controllers but i have to admit vive does tracking better

vocal shard
#

lmao

earnest vortex
vocal shard
#

so youre saying that hip trackers not once have they decided to fly across the room because a wire passed over

near sky
#

I remember perceptive neuron suits. Things were ridiculous. - That's only that variety of suit though.

vocal shard
#

thats never happened to anyone you know that uses vive

#

And kuro, im a big oculus fan.. but you have to be fair on some points

crisp ruin

Ah it's kuro nvm

#

l8r, im tapping outta this one πŸ‘Œ

near sky
#

Yeah

earnest vortex
#

me too. I GOT AVATARS TO OPTIMIZE!

safe furnace
#

Is drunk vrchar fun, asking for a friend obc

vocal shard
#

you guys are so delusional that youve never seen any of your FBT friends have thier hip trackers glitch even once

earnest vortex
#

@safe furnace DUUUUUDDDEEE drunk vrchat is HELLA fun

safe furnace
#

Where do I go

earnest vortex
#

it makes it more real and you forget your in vr

near sky
#

Claim was never that trackers never glitch; claim was tracking accuracy between Valve and Oculus' solutions.

vocal shard
#

Every full body tracking glitches. Kinect, nolo, psvr, trackers. From what I've seen though, trackers are the most accurate

earnest vortex
#

the hip flying out is a steam vr problem

vocal shard
#

no its the vive bases

safe furnace
#

I wanna go somewhere fun with good people but public world's seem cancerous

crisp ruin
#

vive trackers definitely work best but they arent always perfect. stuff like 2.4 gHz wifi can interfere

near sky
#

That's some intense pelvic thrusting dood

earnest vortex
#

I've done Dev for vive. The raw data the trackers is on point

vocal shard
#

i use 5 ghz wifi

earnest vortex
#

it's a steam vr issue

vocal shard
#

i disabled my 2ghz

#

which channel do the vive trackers use on the 2,4 band

near sky
#

@earnest vortex Didn't you work on that CoolCat animation a while back?

vocal shard
#

a b and c is not a 2.4ghz channel btw

earnest vortex
#

@near sky yes that was me. Im the same guy who also does the youtube stuff

#

@near sky VRCHAT is my new venture in character animation. I wantted to see how far I can push the character animation in this new medium. It's been really fun and challenging

vocal shard
#

Cool

near sky
#

@earnest vortex Ahaa~ I've seen your name around a good bit. A few of your older animations too. Good stuff, man! πŸ‘Š Kudos.

#

Interested in what you're managing; new medium gives a lot more room

earnest vortex
#

πŸ‘‰ 😎 πŸ‘‰ thanks @near sky you should see my shiba character i've made. I did a lot with the facial expressions https://youtu.be/tgdBoce3OVA

near sky
#

I feel like I'm watching a fever dream

#

I love it nepSmug

vocal shard
#

okay, so I just logged into vrchat after the update and it's so laggy I can't do hardly anything

vocal shard
#

XD

near sky
#

@earnest vortex I see what you mean with facial detail; I'm liking the way you've done your visemes -you're managing to keep the tooniness through it. I don't think that's a word but fudgeshrug Kudos.

rigid crescent
#

You know, that would be funny, but it makes perfect sense.

near sky
#

Animation principles at work I haven't yet picked up

rigid crescent
#

Ranking is inaccurate. People who don't understand the numbers will think it's accurate.

#

mash both buttons.

earnest vortex
near sky
#

@rigid crescent I think you're right on that.

#

I've just used the ranking as an excuse to go back and hyper-optimize

neon flume
#

Adeon that's too accurate πŸ˜†

rigid crescent
#

I use it as a guide to help find who is likely causing the issue, but still cross reference with the numbers

vocal shard
#

before i come back, i just feel like optimizing. Lol

rigid crescent
#

your 80k polys isnt doing to me what your 2.5k collision are

stone current
#

cough cough

#

562k polys and 130 skined meshes

near sky
#

@stone current Excuse me. 130 skinned meshes. gifshock I think I'm reducing mine from 12.

#

@earnest vortex How much of your stuff did the version shift break? I know most particles ended up needing a rework, animations weren't quite playing the same. I've stuck to one avatar since. Took most of my mates a good bit to get things up and going again.

rigid crescent
#

How can you even get to 130 skinned meshes lol

near sky
#

In an attempt to set a world record.

#

Or something, man -geez

neon flume
#

A poly in every mesh and a dynamic script on every bone!

queen mango
#

For an avatar that can kill your game?

#

200 skinned meshes, when you want to bring your frames from 90 to 20 in the blink of an eye

covert linden
#

Theyre aiming for that sexy 11fps ;)

#

You know its good when you can count each frame

neon flume
#

Cinematic 24 is where it's at

#

eyes can't see ... etc etc

vocal shard
#

Lol

rigid crescent
#

"VRPill HATES him! Find out his this Trusted User sneaks 294 Skinned Mesh Renders into a Pug by himself!"

near sky
#

I need that cinematic 24fps VR experience

#

Any more and I get sicc

vocal shard
#

I remember a video where it was the same shot, one in 24 an one at 60.
The comments were "the 24 looks like a movie. The 60 looks like it was filmed by an amateur in their phone"

#

Im going to use seperate by material and then export to fbx without combining anything

#

😏

stone current
#

use blenddodod

vocal shard
#

imma subdivide it and create random material layers

stone current
#

give it 839k polygons

vocal shard
#

Why....

near sky
#

jevildance CHAOS CHAOS

vocal shard
#

add multiple dynamic bone scripts and just stack hair meshes and bones on each other

neon flume
#

Heh I ran into someone with around 140k polys. I know it doesn't affect performance much, I was just wondering where all those polys went because they looked pretty much the same to me.

vocal shard
#

ill just be hair

near sky
#

Arbitrary, unlinked dynamic bones

vocal shard
#

dont even need a body... ill just be hair

#

make my body out of hair meshes

#

each finger will be a hair mesh etc

sullen escarp
#

be sure to also subdivide all your bones several times for extra realism

vocal shard
#

i wonder how laggy it would be except i would only test it in desktop mode

near sky
#

This is some kind of c y b e r - t e r r o r i s m

vocal shard
#

dw

#

ill put them inside an empty game object😏

queen mango
#

23,187 total dynbones.. courtesy of a single VEXCO avatar

sullen escarp
#

i mean really every vertex needs its own bone, gotta go for maximum mesh control

umbral oracle
#

If that's what you want, may as well go for cloth at this point

vocal shard
#

do both

sullen escarp
#

^^

#

dynamic bone AND cloth = maximum realism

umbral oracle
#

Cloth 50% strength and weighted to a bone for each vertex simulated with dynbone

queen mango
#

BUT, your frames drop to 11.

sullen escarp
#

also need 3 shapekeys per vertex for even more vertex control

umbral oracle
#

I don't think that number ever shows anything below 11

queen mango
#

AND, your RAM starts leaking.

sullen escarp
#

that's how you know you're doing it right

queen mango
#

Deffo so

#

Huh.. I rummaged through some of the feature request cannies, and I found one regarding introducing guilds into VRChat.

#

It was a year ago, and is planned.

earnest vortex
#

@near sky Hi mute!! to answer your question for almost an hour ago. MOST animation overides broke. But not all because i animated some scenes completly in 3ds max under one rig then brought that in as a clip. Those did not break.

I've worked in the mobile gaming industry for years. so im used to optimizing the shit out of my animation clips cause dealing with the mobile chipset. you REAAAAAALLLLY have to pay attentioin to the number of draw calls the device is going to make

#

like building an entire environment conference room. but it has to be 5,200 tris

subtle prawn
earnest vortex
#

yeah..... in the gaming industry. but MORE OPTIMIZED is actually the cooler thing to do.

shut star
#

Anyone else feel like this avatar ranking system is so strict that optimizing avatars is a waste of time. I have 13 materials 2 coliders and 2 dynamic bones and I'm still at a poor ranking. Like why bother optimizing if I just get poor anyway.

queen mango
#

You gotta try harder..

earnest vortex
#

you all are doing game dev with vrchat. congrats kids. πŸ‘‰ 😎 πŸ‘‰

shut star
#

The only way to improve this is to get rid of my dynamic bones and 2 colliders completely but I can't do that I have a tail and longer hair.

#

I like that all it takes is 2 dynamic bones and 2 colliders and BAM very poor.

queen mango
#

Oof. YokoSweat

shut star
#

Without it its a good model apparently. I have checked the stats and its all green except materials which is yellow but if all it takes is 2 dynamic bones and 2 coliders I'm not gonna go back into blender again. Its not worth my time

vocal shard
#

πŸ€” you can have dynamic bones and 4 colliders and be medium... So there must be something specific bringing you down to very poor

shut star
#

There isnt and I double checked its just poor.

#

not very poor

vocal shard
#

How many dynamic bones is it though? 32 is medium. More than that is poor

queen mango
#

Hmm.. you checked your ava. perf. stats?

#

You may know which is red 2bthink

shut star
#

Well obviously I checked dude and its collision check 65 that brings me down

vocal shard
#

Ah

shut star
#

again dynamic bones I said this

#

and coliders

#

which is just 2

vocal shard
#

I wasn't trying to disagree, i was just thinking of ways to maybe bring it up

queen mango
#

Big hog though.. dynbone colliders double the total no. of dynbones.. YokoSweat

shut star
#

The only way to bring it up is to get rid of my dynamic bones and 2 coliders. Both are 2 each

#

Tail and Hair

vocal shard
#

Yeah, the max collisions is 8 for medium

shut star
#

Everything else is bright green so if all it takes is 2 dynamic bones and 2 coliders I'm not gonna bother. Also how does one lower the collision check? Get rid of the coliders I assume

dawn tree
#

are the servers slow or is it just me right now?

vast tulip
#

hows everyone doing today? :>

vocal shard
#

The collisions is how many bones the coliders can affect i think. I wouldn't worry about it. They said that eventually the system will rate more accurately by averages and not just by the lowest rating

#

The issue with the current system is if we go into public worlds we could very easily get blocked because of the poor ranking

shut star
#

Thats good to hear. The system needs to rate on averages not the lowest value. Still early access I guess. I was just wondering because as it currently stands I see no reason to go back into blender if I'm gonna be poor rank anyway

vocal shard
#

Yeah, i get ya

shut star
#

My model runs well and I know this. Thats all I care about at the end of the day

ebon plank
#

Anyone else having trouble gettin on VRchat?

shut star
#

I was yesterday.

vocal shard
#

Yeah i think there was an announcement that there were login issues

ebon plank
#

Like, it loads to log me in, then restartes and loads again

#

and i cant get in

queen mango
#

Yea.. I was thinking of avatar rating calculated to the average mean of all ratios.

#

Well, total ratio.. if that's right...

#

Avg. mean = sum Γ· count

#

Speaking of that.. There's supposed to be a ratio range within the perf. stats where an avatar can be listed according to its avg. ratio

timid heron
#

The avatar rating makes a lot of avatar's world gotten reported & taken down :/
Ppl reporting world because of its poor rating on the avatar's colliders/dynamic bones .-.

vocal shard
#

Yeah... I think they are trying to get us to use less and less dyna bones/colliders

#

So we have better overall performance across the board

timid heron
#

Yea but the avatar would just look meh. Did you check the default vrc avatar ? Got some poor rating too xD

vocal shard
#

Yeah those are funny. Lol

shut star
#

I don't think the devs care how bad avatars look without dynamic bones and what not. Have you seen the default models lol

#

Wait what

#

Which default models got poor ratings?

vocal shard
#

I don't know the name... Sue is it?

#

And some others. Mainly too many materials

shut star
#

Oh wow no kidding

#

skinned meshes to apparently

vocal shard
#

most optimized model is the knuckles
XD

timid heron
#

Most of my avatar got very poor rating because of dynamic collision :/

#

If i remove those, i'm unable to touch my ears, tail, hair etc

opaque remnant
#

upload one version for use in public and friends+, and another where you can touch yourself for friends and private?

vocal shard
#

Yeah I'm going to have a separate public/private version

shut star
#

If the devs hated dynamic bones and colider so much there should be a toggle to turn it off like shaders and animations for ranks

#

problem solved

vocal shard
#

In the canny they said that was planned... Idk

queen mango
#

Would it be integrated in the safety settings, though?

woven steppe
#

I personally love this update

shut star
#

It should be intergraded. I don't see a reason why it wouldn't be.

timid heron
jolly delta
#

Why cant i see the avatar when i turn on the avatar switch its all holohram though

#

Its not loaded though tbh

opaque jewel
#

So has anyone explained why mesh colliders for like a plane is suddenly a no for avatars, but box colliders and others are just fine?

vocal shard
#

Henlo, am new

sullen escarp
#

because mesh colliders normally get worse on higher poly models

vocal shard
#

Im on like day 5/6 of my vrchat adventure @___@

sullen escarp
#

it's fine for planes, but sticking it on like anything else = death

opaque jewel
#

The plane uses a mesh collider.

#

this update seems to just screw up everything it seems

vocal shard
#

Can't seem to access VRChat πŸ€” perhaps the traffic is high or I am banned
which I doubt as I keep myself to only my friends.

jolly delta
#

Anyone?... the loading avatar just broke abit when im in a world and when i turn on the avatar it broke prob like there all blue hologram avatar

vocal shard
#

@vocal shard so does it loop the login thing

#

yeah it does it

#

hell I even got a crash error before the update

#

so before this happened did you also have the but whre you had to use the vrchat website to switch worlds to join people

#

They should just blacklist dynamic bones then

#

4head

neon mesa
#

Can someone explain to me what a dynamic bone transform is compared to the dynamic bone component? I feel it it's related to the amount of polys being moved but I'm not 100% sure

vocal shard
#

Doesnt matter just use the grey alien model that ron uses

umbral nova
#

"Can't even log in now" lmao

vocal shard
#

Then youll be optimized

umbral nova
#

Someone tried to pass off the Avatar Cloning system as the reason

neon mesa
#

Not really what what im asking but ok

vocal shard
#

So people can report badly optimized avatars

umbral nova
#

Anyway, Squiz, I wasn't talking about you

vocal shard
#

Might as well use a quad that has a photo of your main avatar as your avatar 😏

umbral nova
#

Kuro's got the right idea

neon mesa
#

Nah nah wasnt directed at you

undone cobalt
#

@neon mesa i think component is like it says the amount of times you added the component anywhere on your avatar and transform is how many bones in total its affecting

vocal shard
#

Can you even get green status if you use a single quad

#

😏

undone cobalt
#

yes

neon mesa
#

Oooh okay that makes sense yeah, thanks

undone cobalt
#

np

umbral nova
#

@vocal shard What if it's a subdivided quad

queen mango
#

Mind if I ask.. What time is it for you, Jerome?

vocal shard
#

😏

undone cobalt
#

mind blown

#

@queen mango its almost 6 am

#

why?

queen mango
#

Just asking.. YokoSweat

undone cobalt
#

hmm crazyeyes

#

i should probably take a nap

queen mango
#

Yea.. I think you should.

undone cobalt
#

ill go lay down a bit cya in a few hours

queen mango
#

Sounds lIke you didn't get some good sleep there, tho.

undone cobalt
#

yeah i got back from a dinner and had to finish Ruuubicks cutout and check all my messages

#

kinda got sidetracked tho

#

oh well

umbral nova
#

Holdup

#

A cutout of the rubwhip himself?

undone cobalt
#

ofcourse

#

wanna see?

queen mango
#

Hmm YokoThink

umbral nova
#

Elire what server are these on lmao

queen mango
#

I'd like to take a peek..

@umbral nova The Bunker: (NieR: Automata)

undone cobalt
#

its in 3D Modelling

queen mango
#

It's a Discord server

#

Hmm.. I'm curious about this Ruubick cutout.

undone cobalt
#

i posted it

sturdy atlas
#

Is it random when you rank up past user in social tiers

queen mango
#

Alright

undone cobalt
#

what? @sturdy atlas

#

oh

#

it varies for each individual user and depends on alot of factors

rain isle
#

is there a good avatar chair guide out there yet

sturdy atlas
#

I just feel like I been user for a while now lol

undone cobalt
#

@rain isle not that i know of yet no sorry but maybe @inland jay knows

sturdy atlas
#

Like ever since the update lol

undone cobalt
#

it takes a while just be patient im sure you will rank up soon! patkyutie

sturdy atlas
#

I mean I have like 500 hours

#

Whatever i dont really care lol

midnight nimbus
#

I’m open to chatting

undone cobalt
#

have you uploaded an own avatar yet? @sturdy atlas

sturdy atlas
#

I have like 300 or so avatars uploaded and more that I overided /deleted

undone cobalt
#

oh wow thats alot

#

are any of them public?

sturdy atlas
#

Like probable like a 50

undone cobalt
#

hmm ok

#

have you made worlds?

sturdy atlas
#

Not yet cua all my world projects are on hold

inland jay
#

i dont know of any guide but you can use the chair prefabs and remove the vrc trigger and event handler.

sturdy atlas
#

Maybe i should make one just been so busy with school and stuff via my avatars are damn good

#

Thanks anyway

midnight nimbus
#

You got it

vocal shard
#

seeing as this is the last update for the holidays ig i'll see u guys when the login bug is fixed after the holidays x3

#

Whats the version of Unity the SDK is using rn

rain isle
#

yeah you can also just add vrc_pedestal or w/e the name is to something but im not sure how the hitboxes work for it

#

i tried adding it to an empty gameobject and people kept accidentally clicking on it

polar pewter
#

is it normal that i see on unity that i have 6 unique material but in game it says i have 39? causing me to have overall performance of very poor ingame

halcyon kestrel
#

Question: if you turn off cloned avatars and if someone already cloned it does it remove it from their list? SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER

modern sand
#

@polar pewter How many meshes do you have ?

polar pewter
#

it says 0 ingame

modern sand
#

In unity i mean

polar pewter
#

in unity it says 0 meshe renderer. and 2 skinned mesh renderer

modern sand
#

that's the vrchat window though

modern sand
#

@halcyon kestrel There's no "list"

halcyon kestrel
#

where do the "Clone Avatars" go?

#

if someone clones it

#

does it go to their Favorites list?

modern sand
#

No ? It behaves like an avatar pedestal

polar pewter
#

on unity i have
Skinned Mesh Renderers: 2
Mesh Renderers: 0

modern sand
#

Can you get me a screenshot Firmus

polar pewter
#

can u view link here?

halcyon kestrel
#

But still

#

lets say someone clones my avatar

modern sand
#

@polar pewter And what about the hierarchy of your avatar ? Do you also have only two skinned mesh renderers ?

halcyon kestrel
#

lets say someone cloned my avatar and i uncheck the allow people to clone my avatar option, does it automatically switch their avatar to a default or something? or do they still have my avatar on?

polar pewter
#

i have 2 skinned mesh renderer

modern sand
#

They'll have it until they change avatar or change world

halcyon kestrel
#

oof

tidal aspen
#

If you don't want people wearing your avatar set it to private

modern sand
#

@polar pewter And also 6 materials on each ?

polar pewter
#

no. 1 of the skin have 1 material. and 5 on the other 1

modern sand
#

Can you send me the ID ?

#

i'll send you a friend request on discord

polar pewter
#

alright

floral minnow
#

@median basalt @small wing What avatars have we stolen exactly?

#

Also we're actually really psyched about the new avatar standards. It's great that everyone is now expected to meet the same standards, and that it's ultimately to the benefit of the platform being more optimized / stable.

I'm not sure if VRchat has a roadmap to end up on the Oculus Quest, or other upcoming future mobile VR platforms, but that's definitely the future, and going to require optimization standards we all have to get used to.

If having less special effects on avatars means onboarding more folks into social VR, then hell yeah, let's optimize.

It's a slow process getting our older avatars optimized, but we're getting there one step at a time. Also, the unity packages we offer is something we were doing right before the standards hit, and we continue to offer them for people who want to DIY based on our edits.

We're actually in the process of optimizing the unity packages as well.

If you want to talk about avatar world circumventing the new standards, just go to places like Shonzo's who updates their pedestals rather than updating their world and risking it getting taken down.

#

Shonzo obviously isn't the only avatar world doing this. There are far more egregious offenders who wait until their world is approved and then replace all the avatars after the fact, but hey, that's between them and VRchat moderation team.

At least now everyone can see for themselves if an avatar is optimized or not, and I'm proud we're able to at least fall in the Medium category without losing too much of the polish we enjoyed using dynamic bones.

vocal shard
#

so are the devs going home for the holidays

#

whats the chances of the login loop being fixed

#

im sorry for being annoying but im starting a new job soon that i wont be on vr for a while

woven steppe
#

Ya know I find it odd that dynamic bones are so popular given it's regular price of $20

modern sand
#

Won't happen today for sure

vocal shard
#

and im closer to the people on this game than i've been to anyone else in my life

#

yeah its already pretty late

umbral nova
#

@floral minnow "We" implies a group

floral minnow
#

@umbral nova Yes, that is true.

umbral nova
#

But what group

floral minnow
#

I'm confused. What are you talking about?

umbral nova
#

"@Rokk @I said "Audio" 33 times What avatars have we stolen exactly?"

floral minnow
#

My partner Diviy and I.

umbral nova
#

I don't even see a conversation above about those two, unless I'm using the wrong search term

floral minnow
#

Subcom.

umbral nova
#

Oh those, never mind

#

I've heard a lot

#

I'm not publicly siding with either side of the argument.

floral minnow
#

It's honestly neither here nor there. It's a minority that cares about any drama associated with avatars. Most people just enjoy cool shit regardless where it comes from or who is involved in making them.

#

It's just personally fascinating to me seeing those who are intent on making everything a bigger deal than it actually is. :3

vocal shard
#

you're making from mmd texture shader reedits though when money is involved it changes the whole dynamic

umbral nova
#

That is true

floral minnow
#

If you think we only edit textures of deviantart MMD's then you definitely haven't been paying attention to the work we do. ❀

vocal shard
#

and you're still spreading your unoptimized avatars with that little trick you used

floral minnow
#

Also I stopped working with MMD's months ago. I've been making original meshes for quite a while now.

umbral nova
#

But who models them?

floral minnow
#

@vocal shard I already addressed this above.

#

Who models what?

umbral nova
#

The meshes

#

You literally just mentioned them

floral minnow
#

I'm very confused by what you are asking Lone.

vocal shard
#

im going to be honest you act like you're on a high horse for donating to lgbt groups but when i asked what that trans avatar was about because I'm trans you were very rude to me and my friends, and every time i've heard about you being talked about it's always been negative

umbral nova
#

Well then I've been trying myself to not starting an argument u h h h

vocal shard
#

yeah i should probably dip out from this

umbral nova
#

Well time to start going in hot

floral minnow
#

@vocal shard It's obvious you have a personal issue with me and I accept that. Sorry you feel that way. You're always welcome at subcom. We have a pretty large group of trans folk there who are always looking out for each other. ❀

vocal shard
#

orbiters obviously

floral minnow
#

@vocal shard We do a lot more than simple texture re-edits.

umbral nova
#

I wanna bet they either have the memory of a walnut or there's multiple people behind the account

floral minnow
#

I make my own meshes from scratch.

#

No, I was just confused by your statement. If you were asking who made my models from scratch... I literally told you... me.

#

If you are asking about Diviy's models, then I already explained, they are MMD edits.

vocal shard
#

We should just start the anti optimization gang @floral minnow

umbral nova
#

Lmao

floral minnow
#

@vocal shard I'm actually really happy with the optimization standards. Really surprised so many people are upset by them.

#

The opportunity for VRchat to end up on mobile VR platforms is going to be huge.

umbral nova
#

Doubt that'll happen though

floral minnow
#

I'm honestly hoping them implement a system to automatically block unoptimized avatars if it means ending up on more platforms.

umbral nova
#

You have every right to correct me in the future

tidal aspen
#

stuff being a no-no still doesn't stop someone from doing it xigOOF

vocal shard
#

i really should just dip i've heard stuff about you through the grapevine and i dont want to shit up the discord with it im out

umbral nova
#

But I don't foresee VRChat itself going onto mobile VR platforms

vocal shard
#

Me or her?

#

😏

umbral nova
#

You or who? And about what?

@vocal shard I'm not sure why everyone is fixated on textures. We sell edits of all sorts and are very comfortable with the grey are we reside in in terms of copyright. We work hard on our edits, and we don't charge much for that work.

... and once again, that's Diviy. I'm doing original mesh work now, so... big shrug

#

If you didn't let them publish through Unity they would find a way around it

floral minnow
#

@vocal shard No, I mean allowing them to exist on the platform, but blocking the same way you automatically block using the safety features.

umbral nova

Not start it, someone else did

vast tulip

umbral nova

And it kinda went downhill

vast tulip

@vast tulip Same... heading into VRchat in a bit. ❀

vocal shard
#

Thats because you guys always bully us

subtle prawn
#

Looks pretty chill to me o.O

umbral nova
#

I've been more of a bystander more than anything

floral minnow
#

@vocal shard We have traditionally extensive mesh edits... not texture edits.

woven steppe

Ok the hells going on now?

@vocal shard Once again, Diviy is continuing to do MMD edits... I'm creating original work from the ground up.

subtle prawn

Nothing, just let people do what they do. shrugs

floral minnow
#

Never

woven steppe
#

Oh is this about commision things again?

floral minnow
#

Not on my christian minecraft server!

subtle prawn
#

o.O

woven steppe
#

I have a friend that was too christian he was forced to change his name

floral minnow
#

ye... just the typical debate on the ethics of doing MMD based commissions

woven steppe
#

He was called... Jesus Christ

vocal shard
#

Imma dip so they dont switch to me

woven steppe
#

So don't go full Christian

subtle prawn

Go with like Chris

floral minnow
#

Ye... just wanted to address a few things and show my support to the dev team for the new update. ❀

#

I'm off to chill in VRchat... feel free to hit me up... I accept all friend requests : LittleMouseVR

subtle prawn
#

Chris Chen is the now name :>

umbral nova
#

The main reason I don't go about in debates about the ethics of MMD models being used and edited in VRChat

vocal shard
#

Imma invite you to my private world then πŸ˜‹

#

Hehe

umbral nova
#

Well, if you saw the models I do

woven steppe
#

Nah... Jesus Christ is now called Hikari

#

big change I know

crude river
#

I'm loading in as well

subtle prawn
#

Hikari

umbral nova
#

There's literally no room for me to talk

indigo fern
subtle prawn
umbral nova
#

So the models I work with kinda don't really fall under fair use either

crude river
umbral nova
#

Also N8 that emote

#

That's gorgeous

woven steppe
#

My 3d modelling abilities are limited to props

umbral nova

Yeh basically

polar bone
#

Mine neither, I steal all my assets from Fortnite

subtle prawn
#

:>

umbral nova
#

Dude like someone offered to pay me to do custom visemes for him

#

I did the visemes but refuses the pay

polar bone
#

Shoulda taken it

woven steppe
#

I mean it is natural to be paid by someone who asks you to do something for them I guess.

vocal shard
#

whats wrong with pay for visimes

umbral nova
#

E h

#

I don't take money from people

woven steppe
#

That means you don't have a job...

umbral nova
#

Plus the visemes were kinda easy

crude river
#

Imma be in the box

umbral nova
#

No face bones but I had experience with proportional editing at that point so

woven steppe
#

That's literally what a Job is personally... I bake you cupcakes... you pay me for it...

umbral nova
#

No big deal

#

I mean I don't have a job yet you are correct on that

#

I would take money for doing this for people but eh

#

I would have to set up a paypal, and this was for a friend anyway

woven steppe
#

On a different note... Ive run into network hiccups again (seems to happen at around this time)

#

I'm trying to put a friend into my favorites... won't let me

umbral nova
#

Ooph

subtle prawn
#

A lot of people on right now

I wonder how many of them are in private rooms

vocal shard
#

woven steppe
#

it's a lottery

umbral nova
#

Probably about 4,000 at least

woven steppe
#

You might experience problems... you might not

umbral nova
#

You know people and their private worlds

#

Always. ALWAYS

subtle prawn
#

To me varcht feels empty since a lot are in private rooms

woven steppe
#

It would feel that way if you haven't had the oportunity to make friend groups over the past months or years already.

subtle prawn
#

My friends all left me

umbral nova
#

Get out of the private instances

woven steppe
#

My personal problem is timezone issue

subtle prawn
#

I started a year ago today :>

woven steppe
#

AUS time doesn't work well with the majority of my EU and US friends

#

Like I'm about to sleep and all my German and Italian Friends get on

I also don't feel like hanging out in the same worlds, I world jump a lot to newer but the worlds are empty

Question

#

Can i Ask VRpill to update one of his Maps because when i joined VRC it was such a Cool map can i contact him ? (Haunted Prison)

queen mango
#

Ooh. Pwede ko po patignan? @woven steppe
(Can I see it?)

umbral nova
#

@ripe mist You can ask him but he either doesn't have the file, isn't willing to update it, or some other third thing.

#

He might do it

#

But I suggest you don't ping him.

#

Take a look at Rule 23 to see what I mean

true sky
#

Shouldn't this emote be updated by now 56

#

Should be 2017.4 :P

wide jetty
umbral nova
#

@true sky They HAD a 2017 emote but

#

They removed it

still lark
#

Probably wasn't as memed

indigo fern
#

tupper added it and it got deleted soon after garyShrug

@umbral nova How can i Contact him?

They broke your base stations

do you know what desktop mode is

#

do you know how to read?

#

clearly you do not

mighty galleon
#

your computer is now base station

#

lol kuro blocked me for saying that

vocal shard
#

They're referencing your name...

mighty galleon
#

and told me to kms

vocal shard
#

Wow

mighty galleon
#

yeah cant take joke i guess

vocal shard
#

He's probably in a bad mood...

mighty galleon
#

maybe

vocal shard
#

Welp... He went off on me and blocked me too for no reason...

mighty galleon
#

why

vocal shard
#

Idk... Just said kys

mighty galleon
#

yeah same to me

vocal shard
#

@vocal shard are you ok? Is everything alright?... You aren't normally angry like this. Asking because actually concerned

raven mulch
mighty galleon
#

wouldnt that still be blocked?

vocal shard
#

Yeah, but they can still tell of someone messaged them and check

mighty galleon
#

ohhh ok

#

#

the circle is spinning around when i try to login... since update, vrchjat servers are so bad..

#

Yeah, they announced there were some server problems earlier

woven steppe
#

It's just chance at this point... currently I'm having no connection issues... but bout 4 hours ago I had trouble even leaving my home world lol

#

I have just logged off tho... so maybe someone out there having connection issues stops having them

errant merlin
#

Been charging my Vive Trackers and they seem to never turn white, only remain yellow/orange for me

vocal shard
#

@errant merlin a recent firmware update caused that. Theyll fully charge but never turn white anymore

#

I have a couple that occasionally turn white, and a third that never does. All on the same firmware

umbral nova
#

Meanwhile I never got told to kms. I don't feel special.

errant merlin
#

Oh, I see.. I hope they fix it soon since it's hard to tell

umbral nova

going off of what happened up there

vocal shard
#

Kiss your sister

umbral nova

LOL

#

I guess that works

vocal shard
#

Lol

umbral nova
#

Thanks

#

I actually have no idea what's going on with Kuro, unless that Base Station thing is really getting to them

umbral reef
#

He has always been mean so imo its nothing new

umbral nova
#

When I was unable to play VR I just went to Desktop anyway

#

I didn't care

#

Actually that was the time I was most productive

vocal shard
#

But sean or I didn't really do anything... So that was odd. Lol

umbral nova
#

I mean it was me more than anything

#

I went straight to the point on them

#

And they went off at me

#

But they never DM'd me

vocal shard
#

Hmm...

umbral nova
#

I WANT MY CUSTOM COPYPASTA

#

Will my ping not work if I @ someone without their numbers?

#

I want that to happen so

It still does.

queen mango
#

Hmm...

vocal shard
#

Anyone else experience some odd effects after using VR?

#

Like your irl hands look odd, as do like smartphone displays

umbral nova
#

Like waking up the next morning and thinking you have controllers in your hands?

vocal shard
#

Yeah, the first week of vr is trippy irl

umbral nova
#

I had that after playing a long night when I was just starting VRChat

#

Good times...

vocal shard
#

I also feel

#

Like im controlling my body

#

Rather than I am it

umbral nova
#

I still wish my old old friends still played

vocal shard
#

Mhmm

#

You'll get used to that feeling after a while.

umbral nova
#

Like from back in from January through March

#

They kinda fizzled out after April...

vocal shard
#

When you say youll get used to it

#

It goes away? Or you adapt to it lol

umbral nova
#

I'm the only one that consistently plays

queen mango
#

Adapt

vocal shard
#

For me it went away.

#

Elire πŸ’›

#

Might be different for others.

umbral nova
#

Adapt to VR, the side effects go away

vocal shard
#

Interestingly I didnt experience motion sickness at all

umbral nova
#

Like fake controllers after you wake up

vocal shard
#

Oh god is it the park?

#

Nah, the Twindrive Testrun.

umbral nova
#

Advert lol

#

That might be too intense

vocal shard
#

#

vocal shard
#

But yeah, its definatley an odd sensation

#

Im also more confident though.

#

love the downsy in public open mic with avatar clone

queen mango
vocal shard
#

If you start seeing the mic icon irl, that's normal.

umbral nova
#

It's just burned into your retinas, that's all

vocal shard
#

Haha

#

Or if you start doing gestures irl... That's a normal part of a vrchatter lol

#

I have noticed I point more

#

:thonk

umbral nova
#

@vocal shard Actually that's kinda what I meant with the phantom controllers when you wake up

#

Did you ever get that?

vocal shard
#

Ah

#

When I try to write in midair ill do a spoop

#

I started to shrug a lot more IRL when I first started.

umbral nova
#

I remember the morning I tried to pick something up in my room

vocal shard
#

I wonder if there is any studies on the physiological effects of vr use

#

Not really... I just notice i double thumbs up now, talk with my hands, exaggerate my laugh, and sometimes peace now

umbral nova
#

And all I did was pull an imaginary trigger

vocal shard
#

This just in: VR makes introverts more expressive and easier to interact with

#

so am i supposed to log in into my account like 10 times before i go to each world now?

umbral nova
#

They're ou to get us

rocky blaze
#

all my game is doing for like 10-20 times is "logging to account...done" "loading" "logging to account...done" then eventually does what i wanted

vocal shard
#

That's why they announced that there's server problems right now with logging in and loading

rocky blaze
#

ah

umbral nova
#

@vocal shard Should I do that next?

#

Make a loading thing and logging in screen?

vocal shard
#

Lol πŸ‘Œ

umbral nova
#

I already made one with the Authentication Failed screen

#

It was beautiful

vocal shard
#

Yeah lol

umbral nova
#

Actually did you see it? I forgot if you were still there when I finished it

vocal shard
#

With the vrchat error sound?

umbral nova
#

Yes

#

With the VRC logo and all

#

The loading screen rather

vocal shard
#

Maybe i saw an early version?... I remember sort of, but not detailed

umbral nova
#

Oh it was finished when I first showed it off to people

#

But you remember I put it on that cockroach Pokemon right?

vocal shard
#

I can't remember animesweat

When I get home I'll show you what it looks like in Blender

vocal shard

Ok cool

umbral nova

WAIT

#

I found a post of it while it was still in Blender

vocal shard
#

So wait, i'm not the only one with a never ending loop of logins?

umbral nova

But now I'm gonna make it into an avatar meme

Login loop avatar? That would be quite interesting

Quick stupid question but can anyone find the favorite worlds tab? Been stuck looking at this screen for about 12mins, can only see Featured, Popular, Avatars, etc.

vocal shard

Oddly enough

#

I don't have favorites

#

In my tab

#

Favorites is down while they replace it with playlists

#

Is that what they are doing?

red fable
#

Ah, alrighty. Thanks for the info.

vocal shard
#

Yeah. You'll be able to share it with friends

#

How about the infinite loop logins

#

No one having that issue?

#

Yeah they know about that. Even vrpill had it earlier. They tweeted about it earlier today

#

Hmmm, do you have the link for that? Just curiosity, also for read.

#

In announcements up a bit. And in chat earlier vrpill was asking if anyone else was having loading loops

#

Thank you very much

The loop never ends.

I don't see Build control Panel

It might not have imported the package properly. Maybe try reimporting the vrcsdk?

umbral reef

What unity version are you using
What SDK version did you download

Is it still above on the VRChat SDK Tab ?

#

lol wow joins a world with fully optimized avatar just to get voted kicked not even 30 secs later.... 1000 vr chat community

#

i didnt even talk either xD

umbral reef
#

guess they didnt want unneeded lagg

gaunt pine
#

lol i was under 20k polys

umbral reef
#

Polygongs do almost nothing for performance

gaunt pine
#

had 3 materials

umbral reef
#

Unless you are leaving stuff out your part of the also fully optimized group then

gaunt pine
#

im all green on performance

umbral reef
#

Why would they kick you then if your all green?

gaunt pine
#

i have not the slightest clue

#

its was public too

fast dawn
#

probably some normies

gaunt pine
#

...oh no a trusted user run kick him hurry..?

#

makes no sense

#

im a normie

fast dawn
#

probably some normies who think if you don't have excellent performance rank you're lagging them. makes no sense. there is different types of normies

gaunt pine
#

lol their avatars were very poor

umbral oracle
#

More than likely they were all friends and didn't want visitors. Also check your mic wasn't too loud or maybe there was something they didn't like about your avatar.

gaunt pine
#

im a mute most of the time

#

its a tera avatar

tacit plank
#

Cute loli?

gaunt pine
#

if you dont want visitors then make a private instance

umbral oracle
#

I've had vrchat inexplicably unmute my mic before when taking headset off and on :-p so who knows. Probably they were friends withe each other and didn't like someone different

#

Well it happens all the time that a big group of friends all invade a public instance maybe by mistake opening the wrong type of portal

gaunt pine
#

make me almost not want to finish my avatar world for the community you know xD

tacit plank
#

Don't think all players are like that

gaunt pine
#

thats why i said almost

umbral oracle
#

You should never read too much into such things. Most people in publics i have seen don't care about performance yet or laugh about how everyone is poor or very poor

gaunt pine
#

i was just shocked that that happened

umbral oracle
#

If your stats are all 0 people might think you are hiding something (disabled stuff doesn't count)

fast dawn
#

no one cares because most got very poor or poor themselfes lmao

umbral oracle
#

Ya pretty weird. Just pick a different world :-p shrug

gaunt pine
#

well would anyone care to join me for some animation?

umbral reef
#

Tbh- I might be the only one with this
But i would love to see medium + optimized only or even higher

fast dawn
#

If hidden stuff doesn't count, then there is possible to bypass the performance rank thingy?

umbral reef
#

Would be neat to have the 30+ users room already even with the reverted IK changes

gaunt pine
#

i have 2 i have recently set to public if you would like to copy @umbral reef

umbral reef
#

And cant wait for the IK stuff to be added again for 40+ users room when people optimize

#

@gaunt pine I got a perfectly optimized one myself--

But i was talking about needing to use a optimized avatar to join a room.

#

Not an avatar world with optimized stuff ;p

gaunt pine
#

lol no one could join anywhere

tacit plank
#

If only baking didn't mean ruining colors

#

And fuck Gimp. It's shit. It can't change any colors reliably, and half the time it reduces the color quality to a 16 or 8bit look

umbral reef
#

I got an avatar thats optimized to the max without losing anything really--
I have animation version of the avatar that are less optimized ofcours
But i dont need laggybones on my avatars GWnanamiLaceShrug

gaunt pine
#

welp ill be bouncing christmas worlds letting people copy my avatarsee you around

tacit plank
#

Laters

gaunt pine
#

all my avatars have animations

#

even the optimized one

#

that im giving out

#

❀ vr chat

umbral reef
#

But still- Would it not be neat to see the 30+ users rooms again?

#

Instead of the 3 friend groups within public or loads of lonely people like happens right now...

indeed

#

empty hull
#

Is anyone experiencing favoriting(social) issue since the update?

gaunt pine
#

anyone else getting randomly disconected

indigo fern
#

yea, the social menu favoriting is messed up right now

empty hull
#

okay thank you

indigo fern
#

but you can unfavorite people without a problem garyShrug

woven steppe
#

The disabled stuff doesn't work tho... you can upload your avatar with all the stuff disabled and have an animator that spawns everything a second after loading, after the calculations are done...

#

everyone else who loads all your stuff will see whatever the true ranking is when they do load your avatar

anyone having issues with favoring avatars and un favorting stuff not updating

neat ferry
#

My recently favorited avatars are not appearing.

#

Might be a bug i suppose.

Anyone notice that Dropped Portals don't decay? (Don't time out/count-down and disappear?)

#

Yes @oak trench

#

It happens sometimes

oak trench

Kay, I thought I was going crazy πŸ˜‚

#

The world I'm in has two dropped portals and they haven't gone away

#

It's been like 20min

it happens shrug

#

So, since a new favorite system with the play list was added, I don't see my other favorited worlds before that was added. It said it was in playlist one, but only the new world I recently favorited popped up

hallow thistle
#

The new update thingy that gets people banned because of their high poly-count. I'm wondering what the cap is? how many polys can I have on my avatar? the old SDK said 20k but I've heard people say 70k with the update

languid beacon
#

I’m not sure who told you those lies but the performance system does not ban anyone or punish them in any way. It just tells you how laggy your avatar is.

woven steppe
#

don't be silly... the new thingy doesn't get people banned

#

asfor favorited worlds... scroll down

languid beacon
#

And yes, the new polygon limit is 70k, you are advised to not use that much unless you really need them, it’s not recommended.

leaden flame
#

I scroll down, and it shows my 2 playlist of favorited worlds, one is 32/32 but it only shows the new ones I recently favorited, and the other playlist is also new ones I currently favorited, not my old ones

supple sedge
#

Sometimes you just get stuck on "logging in as [user]" and it started happening ever since the new patches that just came
uarghh what a pain

languid beacon
#

The new recommendation is 32k or under, still more than the old recommendation of 10k

ruby needle
#

and the new cap is 70

#

with a new higher and more then reasonable cap it's possible that new violations might be punished now tho.

umbral reef
#

Could be fun af if we could let a robot scan all uploaded avatars and just clear all the bad avatars πŸ˜‚

languid beacon
#

Yeah there’s really no justification for it. It wouldn’t surprise me if they started actually enforcing the modding SDK is bannable rule now

woven steppe
#

NSFW mode for me then if that happens OMEGALUL

ruby needle
#

i'd hope for that Adeon

I like the new stats...i never would have known the trash avatar in front of me was over 800k polys without it

800k LUL

my props can be that much

hey look at this cool flashlig.. "POOR"

You can fool the uploader and get it in but the in game one will not be fooled :p

umbral reef
#

What is funny af

dark narwhal
#

My life

woven steppe
#

I still have a variable rating avatar... although with my 9 animators I can't reach good anymore

#

still can be medium, poor and very poor tho

ruby needle
#

anyone can be very poor cirBaka

languid beacon
#

I feel that’s why they sent avatars out of excellent just for using an animator at all, they can’t verify what you are doing with it

dark narwhal
#

I expected my acatars to be very poor but most were medium

ruby needle
#

thats an interesting theory @languid beacon

digital sparrow
#

Some avatar worlds have avatars with >2000 collision calcs

woven steppe
#

all my animators are for the clothes changing thing... which incidentally is what made my avatar a variable rating one

languid beacon
#

I really wish I could just have my idle animation and stay excellent. It’s less laggy than IK anyway

woven steppe
#

swimsuit and (almost nude) = medium... fully clothed = very poor wiBlush

ruby needle
#

optimization. whats that cirBaka

woven steppe
#

VRchat encouraging me to wear less clothes in public OMEGALUL

digital sparrow
#

of polygons added by the clothing, dyn bones in the clothing etc

languid beacon
#

Or just optimize your clothes. You’d be surprised how much stuff has no real impact from others

dark narwhal
#

If your chain aint a seperate mesh with bones in each link with colliders ur doin it wrong

woven steppe
#

I don't use dynamic bones on the clothes

#

Remember I never really got to use dynamic bones much since when I started I didn't bother to buy the asset and used cloth... and stuck with cloth

#

eventually got dyn bones... was disappointed with how it simulated things and relegated it to tail applications

dark narwhal
#

Ive always wanted to be able to see peoples poly count...it makes for a fun guessing game as well

languid beacon
#

I feel like a parrot saying this over and over but I got myself from 260k down to 32k polys and most people didn’t even notice a change, then my first response I got was β€œis that a more detailed model? you look less wrinkly” >_>

dark narwhal
#

Ye

woven steppe
#

Yes but dyn just looks more unnatural than cloth

#

it doesn't respond fast enough

#

coz the force input has to travel down the bones

#

it looks hilarious with people who have massive numbers of bones on their hair

#

takes the tip like 5 seconds to follow a movement

languid beacon
#

Increase dynbone radius for faster response lots of people don’t realize how small the default radius is far inside the geometry making it look like a delayed response

dark narwhal
#

Thats why u make a dynamic bone component for every bone squirtle

#

I need to practice the art of cloth

woven steppe
#

And while flowy most dynamic bone applicatons I've seen just seems a little stiff

#

Hair doesn't hold it's shape like that

languid beacon
#

Cloth is easy, make sure the separated parts are no longer skinned though, rig data is ignored when there’s a cloth component, but the rating system will still punish you for having it be skinned.

#

So just remove any bones from the cloth model in blender or whatever so it imports into unity as a static mesh

woven steppe
#

I edit the parameter of every vertex on mine

#

I like the 2017.14.5's cloth tho... easier to tune than 5.6's

languid beacon
#

Yeah inside out cloths is a problem if you use tension

leaden flame
#

Oof

languid beacon
#

I am interested in looking for alternate ways to get a wagging tail outside of dynamic or custom animations, I hear it’s possible to do with a shader?

#

Trying to see how detailed I can get an excellent rated avatar (without cheating)

woven steppe
#

one thing I haven't re-added from my old avatar that I stopped using back in September was my flashlight

#

With Halloween over there'd be less dark maps... At least I hope so

languid beacon
#

Nothing wrong with alternate versions with lights when you need them. I feel the performance rating is only relevant for social hangout maps. Not game maps which are usually not with big crowds

woven steppe
#

Many A time I went to visit friends and they're in this dark maze thing... "Oh damn it... The hell's everyone!?!? Can't see shit" is my usual reaction

humble geode
#

Lights count against you but light from particals don't. So if you make a flash light I would use a partical.

languid beacon
#

Sounds like an oversight

woven steppe
#

one light drops you to what rating?

languid beacon
#

Good

humble geode
#

Poor

languid beacon
#

What, I thought two lights drops you to very poor

woven steppe
#

because I technically still have a light source on my avatar I just have it disabled and none of my animations activate it.

languid beacon
#

Not used stuff does not count against you

woven steppe
#

the question is will it still take load on someone's CPU even if I don't use it?

humble geode
#

No

languid beacon
#

It’s just binary at that point I don’t think it matters

woven steppe
#

I have replaced the gesture that activated my flashlight with my "walk through walls" thing... Which was even better when I find my friends midway in a maze map

languid beacon
#

I thought they broke noclip/speed modifiers

woven steppe
#

what even is a noclip/speed modifier?

#

Mine's just a collider that pushes me past the collider of a map's wall

#

provided there's a floor I can stand on, on the other side It usually works... I faceplant into wall... activate gesture... be on other side...

#

often falling to my death

humble geode
#

They didn't. Last night people where able to get on top of the dynamic theater.

median basalt
#

All of mine work

languid beacon
#

I guess it’s behavior was modified and some setups broke, have seen two people saying theirs were broke. It that it was ever intended behavior

median basalt
#

Some people have way too convoluted setups lol

woven steppe
#

I just have a cube push me through wall

#

different topic tho... Avatars with tails... Why do some have their tails literally coming out of the back instead of where tails are normally expected to come out of...

languid beacon
#

I just assumed most tails are a cosplay thing

#

Like it’s normal to see cat ears with normal side ears too

#

Or they always have hair long enough to cover them

#

Lol

woven steppe
#

My friends are obsessed with animal bits

languid beacon
#

Yeah. I see that.. a lot. You could say.

still lark
#

I don't think I've seen a model with a correct tail placement

woven steppe
#

I'm like one of two that has a demoness avatar

#

I didn't like any tails I've seen so I made a super low effort and low poly arrow tipped tail in Sketchup... a Program more at home making... well homes and furniture rather than tails...

#

then stuck it where it's supposed to go

languid beacon
#

I wasn’t even aware sketchup could do skinned mesh

woven steppe
#

I made the mesh in Sketchup but rigged it in blender

languid beacon
#

Ah

opaque hawk
#

Does manually rigging hair so that it has only a couple bones for dynamic bones count as cheating (not a tip)

woven steppe
#

also UV mapped it in blender coz I still have no clue how to UV in sketchup

languid beacon
#

Of course it’s not cheating

woven steppe
#

how is reducing bone count cheating?

#

that's like... a good thing

median basalt
#

That's how you're supposed to do it

languid beacon
#

But I am targeting excellent status so I can’t use dyn bones at all

opaque hawk
#

I think I jokingly replied to a really old post

median basalt
#

You can achieve very low bone counts while still making it look good by abusing auto weights

opaque hawk
#

discord didn't refresh until I typed something in

vestal star
#

Is the loophole issue fixed?

woven steppe
#

I also decided I had to cut holes in my avatar's clothes for the tail to go through

languid beacon
#

... what loophole.

woven steppe
#

coz... reee at tails going through things without holes in em

#

Ears going through hats....

vestal star
#

The loading loop that some people are getting trapped in.

languid beacon
#

You’d hate my avatar

woven steppe
#

That's more a lottery on the network

languid beacon
#

My tail goes though my pants and my ears poke out my hat.

still lark

At this point in time I have no network issues... but 6 hours ago... holy crap I'm trapped in my home world
