they do have those. IT's called a motion capture suit
does it work with steam vr
The oculus isn't able to support more trackers due to the bandwidth
They would need something new
i like the oculus controllers but i have to admit vive does tracking better
lmao
https://www.rokoko.com/en/products/smartsuit-pro you can rent one
so youre saying that hip trackers not once have they decided to fly across the room because a wire passed over
I remember perceptive neuron suits. Things were ridiculous. - That's only that variety of suit though.
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
^
Ah it's kuro nvm

l8r, im tapping outta this one π
Yeah
me too. I GOT AVATARS TO OPTIMIZE!
Is drunk vrchar fun, asking for a friend obc
you guys are so delusional that youve never seen any of your FBT friends have thier hip trackers glitch even once
@safe furnace DUUUUUDDDEEE drunk vrchat is HELLA fun
Where do I go
it makes it more real and you forget your in vr
Claim was never that trackers never glitch; claim was tracking accuracy between Valve and Oculus' solutions.
Every full body tracking glitches. Kinect, nolo, psvr, trackers. From what I've seen though, trackers are the most accurate
the hip flying out is a steam vr problem
no its the vive bases
I wanna go somewhere fun with good people but public world's seem cancerous
vive trackers definitely work best but they arent always perfect. stuff like 2.4 gHz wifi can interfere
That's some intense pelvic thrusting dood
I've done Dev for vive. The raw data the trackers is on point
i use 5 ghz wifi
it's a steam vr issue
@earnest vortex Didn't you work on that CoolCat animation a while back?
a b and c is not a 2.4ghz channel btw
@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
Cool
@earnest vortex Ahaa~ I've seen your name around a good bit. A few of your older animations too. Good stuff, man! π Kudos.
Interested in what you're managing; new medium gives a lot more room
π π π thanks @near sky you should see my shiba character i've made. I did a lot with the facial expressions https://youtu.be/tgdBoce3OVA
okay, so I just logged into vrchat after the update and it's so laggy I can't do hardly anything
XD
@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
Kudos.
You know, that would be funny, but it makes perfect sense.
Animation principles at work I haven't yet picked up
Ranking is inaccurate. People who don't understand the numbers will think it's accurate.
mash both buttons.
thanks! I had a lot more cool stuff on my avatars like a delorian taking off https://clips.twitch.tv/SmoggyEasyTigerSoBayed
but then the update happened....
@rigid crescent I think you're right on that.
I've just used the ranking as an excuse to go back and hyper-optimize
Adeon that's too accurate π
I use it as a guide to help find who is likely causing the issue, but still cross reference with the numbers
before i come back, i just feel like optimizing. Lol
your 80k polys isnt doing to me what your 2.5k collision are
@stone current Excuse me. 130 skinned meshes.
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.
How can you even get to 130 skinned meshes lol
A poly in every mesh and a dynamic script on every bone!
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
Theyre aiming for that sexy 11fps ;)
You know its good when you can count each frame
Lol
"VRPill HATES him! Find out his this Trusted User sneaks 294 Skinned Mesh Renders into a Pug by himself!"
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
π
use blenddodod
imma subdivide it and create random material layers
give it 839k polygons
Why....
CHAOS CHAOS
add multiple dynamic bone scripts and just stack hair meshes and bones on each other
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.
ill just be hair
Arbitrary, unlinked dynamic bones
dont even need a body... ill just be hair
make my body out of hair meshes
each finger will be a hair mesh etc
be sure to also subdivide all your bones several times for extra realism
i wonder how laggy it would be except i would only test it in desktop mode
This is some kind of c y b e r - t e r r o r i s m
i mean really every vertex needs its own bone, gotta go for maximum mesh control
If that's what you want, may as well go for cloth at this point
do both
Cloth 50% strength and weighted to a bone for each vertex simulated with dynbone
BUT, your frames drop to 11.
also need 3 shapekeys per vertex for even more vertex control
I don't think that number ever shows anything below 11
that's how you know you're doing it right

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.
@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

yeah..... in the gaming industry. but MORE OPTIMIZED is actually the cooler thing to do.
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.
you all are doing game dev with vrchat. congrats kids. π π π
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.
Oof. 
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
π€ you can have dynamic bones and 4 colliders and be medium... So there must be something specific bringing you down to very poor
How many dynamic bones is it though? 32 is medium. More than that is poor
Well obviously I checked dude and its collision check 65 that brings me down
Ah
I wasn't trying to disagree, i was just thinking of ways to maybe bring it up
Big hog though.. dynbone colliders double the total no. of dynbones.. 
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
Yeah, the max collisions is 8 for medium
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
are the servers slow or is it just me right now?
hows everyone doing today? :>
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
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
Yeah, i get ya
My model runs well and I know this. Thats all I care about at the end of the day
Anyone else having trouble gettin on VRchat?
I was yesterday.
Yeah i think there was an announcement that there were login issues
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
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 .-.
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
Yea but the avatar would just look meh. Did you check the default vrc avatar ? Got some poor rating too xD
Yeah those are funny. Lol
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?
most optimized model is the knuckles
XD
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
upload one version for use in public and friends+, and another where you can touch yourself for friends and private?
Yeah I'm going to have a separate public/private version
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
In the canny they said that was planned... Idk
Would it be integrated in the safety settings, though?
I personally love this update
It should be intergraded. I don't see a reason why it wouldn't be.
i posted one of my fav avatar in #vrchat-pictures ...the rating x_x
Why cant i see the avatar when i turn on the avatar switch its all holohram though
Its not loaded though tbh
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?
Henlo, am new
because mesh colliders normally get worse on higher poly models
Im on like day 5/6 of my vrchat adventure @___@
it's fine for planes, but sticking it on like anything else = death
The plane uses a mesh collider.
this update seems to just screw up everything it seems
Can't seem to access VRChat π€ perhaps the traffic is high or I am banned
which I doubt as I keep myself to only my friends.
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 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
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
Doesnt matter just use the grey alien model that ron uses
"Can't even log in now" lmao
Then youll be optimized
Someone tried to pass off the Avatar Cloning system as the reason
Not really what what im asking but ok
So people can report badly optimized avatars
Anyway, Squiz, I wasn't talking about you
Might as well use a quad that has a photo of your main avatar as your avatar π
Kuro's got the right idea
Nah nah wasnt directed at you
@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
yes
Oooh okay that makes sense yeah, thanks
np
@vocal shard What if it's a subdivided quad
Mind if I ask.. What time is it for you, Jerome?
π
Just asking.. 
Yea.. I think you should.
ill go lay down a bit cya in a few hours
Sounds lIke you didn't get some good sleep there, tho.
yeah i got back from a dinner and had to finish Ruuubicks cutout and check all my messages
kinda got sidetracked tho
oh well
Hmm 
Elire what server are these on lmao
I'd like to take a peek..
@umbral nova The Bunker: (NieR: Automata)
its in 3D Modelling
Is it random when you rank up past user in social tiers
Alright
what? @sturdy atlas
oh
it varies for each individual user and depends on alot of factors
is there a good avatar chair guide out there yet
I just feel like I been user for a while now lol
@rain isle not that i know of yet no sorry but maybe @inland jay knows
Like ever since the update lol
it takes a while just be patient im sure you will rank up soon! 
Iβm open to chatting
have you uploaded an own avatar yet? @sturdy atlas
I have like 300 or so avatars uploaded and more that I overided /deleted
Like probable like a 50
Not yet cua all my world projects are on hold
i dont know of any guide but you can use the chair prefabs and remove the vrc trigger and event handler.
Maybe i should make one just been so busy with school and stuff via my avatars are damn good
Thanks anyway
You got it
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
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
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
Question: if you turn off cloned avatars and if someone already cloned it does it remove it from their list? SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER
@polar pewter How many meshes do you have ?
it says 0 ingame
In unity i mean
in unity it says 0 meshe renderer. and 2 skinned mesh renderer
that's the vrchat window though
Thank you VRChat team for chairs. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/511417163874172932/525904478935973900/VRChat_1920x1080_2018-12-21_22-07-15.807.png
@halcyon kestrel There's no "list"
where do the "Clone Avatars" go?
if someone clones it
does it go to their Favorites list?
No ? It behaves like an avatar pedestal
on unity i have
Skinned Mesh Renderers: 2
Mesh Renderers: 0
Can you get me a screenshot Firmus
@polar pewter And what about the hierarchy of your avatar ? Do you also have only two skinned mesh renderers ?
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?
i have 2 skinned mesh renderer
They'll have it until they change avatar or change world
oof
If you don't want people wearing your avatar set it to private
@polar pewter And also 6 materials on each ?
no. 1 of the skin have 1 material. and 5 on the other 1
alright
123
Lemme just say rideable avatars is amazing
:>
@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.
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
Ya know I find it odd that dynamic bones are so popular given it's regular price of $20
Won't happen today for sure
and im closer to the people on this game than i've been to anyone else in my life
yeah its already pretty late
Is there a place I can submit a feature request?
@snow fable Also the canny : https://vrchat.canny.io/feature-requests
thx
... where is the list of worlds you've favorited? I can't find it
Any guide for converting to unity 2017
@floral minnow "We" implies a group
@umbral nova Yes, that is true.
But what group
I'm confused. What are you talking about?
"@Rokk @I said "Audio" 33 times What avatars have we stolen exactly?"
My partner Diviy and I.
I don't even see a conversation above about those two, unless I'm using the wrong search term
Subcom.
Oh those, never mind
I've heard a lot
I'm not publicly siding with either side of the argument.
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
you're making from mmd texture shader reedits though when money is involved it changes the whole dynamic
That is true
If you think we only edit textures of deviantart MMD's then you definitely haven't been paying attention to the work we do. β€
and you're still spreading your unoptimized avatars with that little trick you used
Also I stopped working with MMD's months ago. I've been making original meshes for quite a while now.
But who models them?
I'm very confused by what you are asking Lone.
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
Well then I've been trying myself to not starting an argument u h h h
yeah i should probably dip out from this
Well time to start going in hot
@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. β€
orbiters obviously
@vocal shard We do a lot more than simple texture re-edits.
I wanna bet they either have the memory of a walnut or there's multiple people behind the account
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.
We should just start the anti optimization gang @floral minnow
Lmao
@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.
Doubt that'll happen though
I'm honestly hoping them implement a system to automatically block unoptimized avatars if it means ending up on more platforms.
You have every right to correct me in the future
stuff being a no-no still doesn't stop someone from doing it 
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
But I don't foresee VRChat itself going onto mobile VR platforms
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
@vocal shard No, I mean allowing them to exist on the platform, but blocking the same way you automatically block using the safety features.
how is everyone doing?
Pretty good Mimi. β€
Arguing
:>
I think we're having a lovely discussion. π
get out while you can
oh thats still happening? why dont you just play and not argue? :P
And it kinda went downhill
dama is lame. just have fun
Sup
@vast tulip Same... heading into VRchat in a bit. β€
Thats because you guys always bully us
Looks pretty chill to me o.O
I've been more of a bystander more than anything
@vocal shard We have traditionally extensive mesh edits... not texture edits.
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.
Nothing, just let people do what they do. 
Never
Oh is this about commision things again?
Not on my christian minecraft server!
o.O
I have a friend that was too christian he was forced to change his name
ye... just the typical debate on the ethics of doing MMD based commissions
He was called... Jesus Christ
Imma dip so they dont switch to me
So don't go full Christian
10-8
Go with like Chris
Ye... just wanted to address a few things and show my support to the dev team for the new update. β€
I'm off to chill in VRchat... feel free to hit me up... I accept all friend requests : LittleMouseVR
Chris Chen is the now name :>
The main reason I don't go about in debates about the ethics of MMD models being used and edited in VRChat
Well, if you saw the models I do
I'm loading in as well
Hikari
There's literally no room for me to talk


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

My 3d modelling abilities are limited to props
Yeh basically
Mine neither, I steal all my assets from Fortnite
:>
Dude like someone offered to pay me to do custom visemes for him
I did the visemes but refuses the pay
Shoulda taken it
I mean it is natural to be paid by someone who asks you to do something for them I guess.
whats wrong with pay for visimes
That means you don't have a job...
Plus the visemes were kinda easy
Imma be in the box
No face bones but I had experience with proportional editing at that point so
That's literally what a Job is personally... I bake you cupcakes... you pay me for it...
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
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
Ooph
A lot of people on right now
"VRChat let me put this particular person in a category he belongs... GRRRR"
!online
There are 7417 users in VRChat currently
I wonder how many of them are in private rooms
tfw login loop
it's a lottery
Probably about 4,000 at least
You might experience problems... you might not
To me varcht feels empty since a lot are in private rooms
It would feel that way if you haven't had the oportunity to make friend groups over the past months or years already.
My friends all left me
Get out of the private instances
My personal problem is timezone issue
I started a year ago today :>
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
@woven steppe hi ach!!!
Sup Kasu
XD my play time only works with aus people
I needa start goin there. Its fun
My usual late night source of VRChat entertainment has decided to do something else
Ah yeah no worries mate.
@still lark π
@severe lily π
Filipino here. I usually run into US and AUS people, but I never encountered people of my own nationality ever.. nakakalungkot n'man
Though sometimes, I do get in touch with EU people... including those from the UK
The Twitch team I'm associated with has a load of folks who are either fully Filipino or has Filipino ancestry.
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)
Ooh. Pwede ko po patignan? @woven steppe
(Can I see it?)
@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

Probably wasn't as memed
tupper added it and it got deleted soon after 
@umbral nova How can i Contact him?

your heart
theres nothing in #announcements
They broke your base stations
??????
do you know what desktop mode is
do you know how to read?
clearly you do not
They're referencing your name...
and told me to kms
Wow
yeah cant take joke i guess
He's probably in a bad mood...
maybe
Welp... He went off on me and blocked me too for no reason...
why
Idk... Just said kys
yeah same to me
@vocal shard are you ok? Is everything alright?... You aren't normally angry like this. Asking because actually concerned

wouldnt that still be blocked?
Yeah, but they can still tell of someone messaged them and check
Hmm?
any news on this update i been at work all day so idk whats happening
@mighty galleon 
oh hi shima
Other than before, they rolled back the new ik system, and now let you favorite 16 avatars instead of just 3
interestin
btw jamie can i show off my paitnig im proud of to you :3 its a cute spooder
Sure
I've been disconnected 16 times between the hour of 12 am and 430 am EST.
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
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
Been charging my Vive Trackers and they seem to never turn white, only remain yellow/orange for me
@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
Meanwhile I never got told to kms. I don't feel special.
Oh, I see.. I hope they fix it soon since it's hard to tell
going off of what happened up there
Kiss your sister
Lol
Thanks
I actually have no idea what's going on with Kuro, unless that Base Station thing is really getting to them
He has always been mean so imo its nothing new
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
But sean or I didn't really do anything... So that was odd. Lol
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
Hmm...
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.
It still works?

π bruh
O.o
You told me to
i joked about it
yea

inb4 hour long video on eevee
Bring it
lmao
I wonder if Giffany gets what we're talking about

Anyone else experience some odd effects after using VR?
Like your irl hands look odd, as do like smartphone displays
Like waking up the next morning and thinking you have controllers in your hands?
Yeah, the first week of vr is trippy irl
I still wish my old old friends still played
I'm the only one that consistently plays
Adapt
Adapt to VR, the side effects go away
Interestingly I didnt experience motion sickness at all
Like fake controllers after you wake up
If you want to test if you can get motion sickness in VR, I suggest this world: https://vrchat.net/home/world/wrld_4c573269-8de5-4dd7-9a3b-30b3c9aaab03
Oh god is it the park?
Nah, the Twindrive Testrun.
Issa test, jyano
Lul
But yeah, its definatley an odd sensation
Im also more confident though.
love the downsy in public open mic with avatar clone

If you start seeing the mic icon irl, that's normal.
It's just burned into your retinas, that's all
Haha
Or if you start doing gestures irl... That's a normal part of a vrchatter lol
I have noticed I point more
:thonk
@vocal shard Actually that's kinda what I meant with the phantom controllers when you wake up
Did you ever get that?
Ah
When I try to write in midair ill do a spoop
I started to shrug a lot more IRL when I first started.
I remember the morning I tried to pick something up in my room
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
And all I did was pull an imaginary trigger
The R E A L WOOPS?
Hello, I am Elire
Hello Elire
I also have begun wanting to take pictures of cute/fun/interesting moments lol

I remember watching a documentary that uses VR for hospital stuff. Can't exactly remember what hospital stuff tho.
Heh. That's expected of your increasing socialization.
@vocal shard Surgery training I presume
greetings
It also makes you approach the world as if your attractive
Welcome
Which is interesting
_< Vrchat Game Is Good
Can't exactly remember so I dunno if that's it, chief.
Super admin
Yea. True that

Boss of both Tupper and VRPill
Ruuubick is undecided
I forget is there a fourth?
Wait nvm now I remeber
Wait.. 4th admin?
Gunter yea
nah ruuubick is still above me, but im aiming for the top
Forgot for a sec
I saw one where they used vr to distract kids from pain during procedures like putting a cast on.
Cyber Tupper?
So.. Cyber Tupper, Pirate Pill, Ninja Ruubick, and Shady Gunter.
uh message deleted
I did that
Them Nintendo ninjas man
Fuc.. my text is lagging
They're out to get me
Stop downloading 18+ stuff
no saying Fuc in my Christian server 

@vocal shard it's not the 18+ stuff
It's all the ROMs
That's the real reason I left home for a week
They've infested the streets

Lmao
18+ ROMs?!
super_mario_world332.rom.png.info.exe
Lol
But no really me and my friends do way too many Nintendo models for our own good
so am i supposed to log in into my account like 10 times before i go to each world now?
They're ou to get us
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
That's why they announced that there's server problems right now with logging in and loading
ah
Lol π
Yeah lol
Actually did you see it? I forgot if you were still there when I finished it
With the vrchat error sound?
Maybe i saw an early version?... I remember sort of, but not detailed
Oh it was finished when I first showed it off to people
But you remember I put it on that cockroach Pokemon right?
I can't remember 
When I get home I'll show you what it looks like in Blender
Ok cool
So wait, i'm not the only one with a never ending loop of logins?
Login loop avatar? That would be quite interesting
happy optimizing holidays
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.
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?
Ah, alrighty. Thanks for the info.
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.
why my vr chat auto log out
That must be the loop everyone is experiencing
This new favorite extension, i have 4 avatars favorited, but i only see 3
Can someone tell me how to upload an avatar on the latest SDK ?
Same as before
It might not have imported the package properly. Maybe try reimporting the vrcsdk?
What unity version are you using
What SDK version did you download
https://vrc-community-docs.gitbook.io/docs/faq/unity-faq
Better get going removing it then as your leaps behind
->
We're on unity 2017.4.15f1
Gotte edit the link then to exclude the VR stuff- Unsure how that worked again π€

Why are we on unity 2017 when it's 2018? 
Because theres no 2018 lts build.
Nearly 2019!! 
we dont talk about windows 9
Where was fallout 75? That was a classic imho
XD
Windows 
Tupperware

Windows 9 is 8.1
Yeah, though a tad confusing.
lol wow joins a world with fully optimized avatar just to get voted kicked not even 30 secs later....
vr chat community
i didnt even talk either xD
guess they didnt want unneeded lagg
lol i was under 20k polys
Polygongs do almost nothing for performance
had 3 materials
Unless you are leaving stuff out your part of the also fully optimized group then
im all green on performance
Why would they kick you then if your all green?
probably some normies
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
lol their avatars were very poor
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.
Cute loli?
if you dont want visitors then make a private instance
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
make me almost not want to finish my avatar world for the community you know xD
Don't think all players are like that
thats why i said almost
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
i was just shocked that that happened
If your stats are all 0 people might think you are hiding something (disabled stuff doesn't count)
no one cares because most got very poor or poor themselfes lmao
Ya pretty weird. Just pick a different world :-p shrug
well would anyone care to join me for some animation?
Tbh- I might be the only one with this
But i would love to see medium + optimized only or even higher
If hidden stuff doesn't count, then there is possible to bypass the performance rank thingy?
Would be neat to have the 30+ users room already even with the reverted IK changes
i have 2 i have recently set to public if you would like to copy @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
lol no one could join anywhere
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
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 
welp ill be bouncing christmas worlds letting people copy my avatarsee you around
Laters
all my avatars have animations
even the optimized one
that im giving out
β€ vr chat
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...
Is anyone experiencing favoriting(social) issue since the update?
anyone else getting randomly disconected
yea, the social menu favoriting is messed up right now
okay thank you
but you can unfavorite people without a problem 
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...
BUT you will only appear good/very good to yourself
everyone else who loads all your stuff will see whatever the true ranking is when they do load your avatar
wuf


Give it money and it won't be poor anymore

but i dont have moni either
sno hat
Alguien habla espanol?
no hablo espaΓ±ol

oooff
ah ya dale
Fpaul, give me a burg
giv me a hugggggg

anyone having issues with favoring avatars and un favorting stuff not updating
Anyone notice that Dropped Portals don't decay? (Don't time out/count-down and disappear?)
@neat ferry check #announcements
Kay, I thought I was going crazy π
The world I'm in has two dropped portals and they haven't gone away
It's been like 20min
it happens 
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
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
Iβm 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.
don't be silly... the new thingy doesn't get people banned
asfor favorited worlds... scroll down
And yes, the new polygon limit is 70k, you are advised to not use that much unless you really need them, itβs not recommended.
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
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
The new recommendation is 32k or under, still more than the old recommendation of 10k
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.
Could be fun af if we could let a robot scan all uploaded avatars and just clear all the bad avatars π
Yeah thereβs really no justification for it. It wouldnβt surprise me if they started actually enforcing the modding SDK is bannable rule now
NSFW mode for me then if that happens 
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 
Yee
my props can be that much
Ya i think it was his gun
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
What is funny af
My life
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
anyone can be very poor 
I feel thatβs why they sent avatars out of excellent just for using an animator at all, they canβt verify what you are doing with it
I expected my acatars to be very poor but most were medium
thats an interesting theory @languid beacon
Some avatar worlds have avatars with >2000 collision calcs
all my animators are for the clothes changing thing... which incidentally is what made my avatar a variable rating one
I really wish I could just have my idle animation and stay excellent. Itβs less laggy than IK anyway
swimsuit and (almost nude) = medium... fully clothed = very poor 
optimization. whats that 
VRchat encouraging me to wear less clothes in public 
of polygons added by the clothing, dyn bones in the clothing etc
Or just optimize your clothes. Youβd be surprised how much stuff has no real impact from others
If your chain aint a seperate mesh with bones in each link with colliders ur doin it wrong
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
Ive always wanted to be able to see peoples poly count...it makes for a fun guessing game as well
I feel like a parrot saying this over and over but I got myself from 260k down to 32k polys and most people didnβt even notice a change, then my first response I got was βis that a more detailed model? you look less wrinklyβ >_>
Ye
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
Increase dynbone radius for faster response lots of people donβt realize how small the default radius is far inside the geometry making it look like a delayed response
Thats why u make a dynamic bone component for every bone 
I need to practice the art of cloth
And while flowy most dynamic bone applicatons I've seen just seems a little stiff
Hair doesn't hold it's shape like that
Cloth is easy, make sure the separated parts are no longer skinned though, rig data is ignored when thereβs 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
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
Yeah inside out cloths is a problem if you use tension
Oof
I am interested in looking for alternate ways to get a wagging tail outside of dynamic or custom animations, I hear itβs possible to do with a shader?
Trying to see how detailed I can get an excellent rated avatar (without cheating)
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
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
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
Lights count against you but light from particals don't. So if you make a flash light I would use a partical.
Sounds like an oversight
one light drops you to what rating?
Good
Poor
What, I thought two lights drops you to very poor
because I technically still have a light source on my avatar I just have it disabled and none of my animations activate it.
Not used stuff does not count against you
the question is will it still take load on someone's CPU even if I don't use it?
No
Itβs just binary at that point I donβt think it matters
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
I thought they broke noclip/speed modifiers
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
They didn't. Last night people where able to get on top of the dynamic theater.
All of mine work
I guess itβs behavior was modified and some setups broke, have seen two people saying theirs were broke. It that it was ever intended behavior
Some people have way too convoluted setups lol
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...
I just assumed most tails are a cosplay thing
Like itβs normal to see cat ears with normal side ears too
Or they always have hair long enough to cover them
Lol
My friends are obsessed with animal bits
Yeah. I see that.. a lot. You could say.
I don't think I've seen a model with a correct tail placement
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
I wasnβt even aware sketchup could do skinned mesh
I made the mesh in Sketchup but rigged it in blender
Ah
Does manually rigging hair so that it has only a couple bones for dynamic bones count as cheating (not a tip)
also UV mapped it in blender coz I still have no clue how to UV in sketchup
Of course itβs not cheating
That's how you're supposed to do it
But I am targeting excellent status so I canβt use dyn bones at all
I think I jokingly replied to a really old post
You can achieve very low bone counts while still making it look good by abusing auto weights
discord didn't refresh until I typed something in
Is the loophole issue fixed?
I also decided I had to cut holes in my avatar's clothes for the tail to go through
... what loophole.
coz... reee at tails going through things without holes in em
Ears going through hats....
The loading loop that some people are getting trapped in.
Youβd hate my avatar
That's more a lottery on the network
My tail goes though my pants and my ears poke out my hat.
Triggered
At this point in time I have no network issues... but 6 hours ago... holy crap I'm trapped in my home world
