Is full body tracking worth it?
well if u r a good dancer sure @oak kite
When is the next update scheduled?
its not
is VR chat down?
Considering that there's 7522 users online, I kind of doubt it. Must be on your end
Wow, that's a lot of players.
it's stabilized, but slowly growing. Over the last several months its gone from an average of 4-6k players online to between 7-8k players. I bet by the end of the year we might start approaching an average of 10k users online if the trend continues
hi
wow i love this community sometimes, the friends i’ve made and conversations i’ve had are a great healer for loneliness
just some quick appreciation
Your Welcome 👍🏻
I dont know why but the Cirno above the hear looks so much like like a bowtie-ish thing
It actually kinda does xd
So out of curiosity, does removing friends from your friends list affect your Rank?
It can- You wont get an official statement on it but from what i have seen depending how many you remove it cna derank you.
But if your that close to losing your rank- Its not that hard to regain it
Wow, really?
I guess I'll lose my rank then since I don't know half the people on my friends list.
When i removed 70% of my friends list nothing happened so 🤷

Work time boys
No more sleeping
But I like sleeping
Welp you can go back now
Yay
@umbral reef we're human too you know :^(
Excuse you
@severe lily But working is good :c
No work is no money, no money is no power and internet, no internet and power is no VRC waifu's
_Too bad Leeroy nicked the work, guess no waifu's for you now 👀 _
Just get internet from a McDonald's parking lot 
It feels like when you've played VRChat for a long while and made a lot of friends.. You realize you don't remember half of them.
Like it was a blackout drunk night.
That's life in general. I don't remember half the people I talked to in middle / highschool.
Might be a nice thing for social to have like player specific notes that you can put in so you can remember things regarding that person. Like their Twitch or an event regarding them or something.
Kinda like what Discord has.
https://vrchat.canny.io/feature-requests/p/add-notes-to-users Vote on this then ;p
And done.
I was going to upvote it but apparently my past self beat me to it
i've always wondered why people have worlds under avatar worlds but have no avatars
lol
Anyone know if a powered USB hub is acceptable to plug all your sensors in to?
I use a powered USB hub for my vive trackers, if that's what you mean
Yah. Ty
Vive trackers don't really track.
They just make a nice grid for the headset to know where they are.
So they only need power. The Oculus sensors do actually track and need enough bandwidth for that.
I have oculus
Only 2 sensors now but may add nolo for cheap full body. Just wasn't sure if I should get a card for more slots, or if the powered hub would do the trick
Check the stats and use online information to see.
Not all powered USB hubs work the same and I'm fairly sure you would need an extension card instead of a powerhub for what you want. But I don't have Oculus myself so..
The card I'm looking at has reviews that specifically say the drivers work with oculus so I guess I'm getting the card. Lol. Thanks!
Hi!
I made a custom avatar but I originally had a steam account being used so i changed how long do I need to wait before I can use the avatar?
You can sync up your steam and vrchat accounts
Then you wait til vrchat says you can upload content
thank you
I like boys now 🏳️🌈
you have potential.
I have no idea why I've joined here ._.
I have made more friends in VRChat than before I started playing combined
I helped me make friends with people around the world in a way no other game or chatroom has

It's also a good hobby. I didn't learn much from being addicted to MMOs. Just some English, maths and game-testing skills. But the things I'm learning in VRChat (a new language, 3D modeling, Unity game engine, shader code, etc) are all relevant for my future. I plan on learning computer science to aid my programming skills
Got me even more addicted into tech :c
That's not even all of it. This game is just great. Recently passed 2K active hours
Meanwhile I went from barely getting VR to getting payed to talk to Microsoft education managers about it thanks to vrc.
VRChat's certainly changed my life, one way or another
Back when I was just starting out, I was an awkward shut-in, who'd didn't know what to expect. In some ways I still am.. I wasn't no mute when I started out, just not pretty comfortable having strangers.
However, a few days in, I've met another VRChatter, who I befriended with, and lost ourselves in time chatting about video games. From then on, I became a lot more comfy with VRChat, and its strangers.
As time and time went, from him, I've met more of his friends. They've invited me over games, which well.. I pretty much wasn't able to understand initially (Sorry).
It made me spend money I didnt have 
@vocal shard upload more fam friendly content on yt
It has a few flaws and rought points though. But it's still ahead, and has the potential to become a much bigger thing. Think scifi and VR worlds
@umbral reef i don't and never will monetize 
Weak
Lol
Money man
No good job should be for free
I don't go out of places to talk unless I get payed or I think it's fun to do.
Screw charity work if I can actually go to a place where peeps care about me.
Don't want to be pressured to make stuff constantly. As it sits, I've gone over a week without uploading. If i was getting money, i wouldn't feel comfortable with that.

I don't know if this is the correct chatroom for this but can someone help me with an issue I've been trying to get rid of for a long time?
It's money for work you did- not that your going to do.
Money for adds is fair game imo. If you had a patreon I'd be iffy about it.
Ask and we can try to help
True
@gilded niche So.. what's the problem?
So basically when I log into a lobby full of people, everyone appears to be the blue transparent default avatar for around 10 seconds and their loading bars start loading very slowly. But after those 10 seconds pass, I get a black screen and shortly after a loading screen that never ends. I've been trying to find a solution for days but couldn't find any yet
It's not something simple like your HDD being full?
First question. What are your computer specs? Are they the minimum needed for vr?
my hdd has 400gb of free space
Try looking at your output log by the way. The problems are usually in there
@tacit planknyou would get the red guys then. Not a crash.
Does it only happen in big lobbies? Maybe your network connection is overloaded, causing photon or whatever it's called to disconnect (this is what causes a black screen)
my specs are as follows: gtx 1060 6gb gpu, i5 6500 3.20GHz CPU, 8gigs of ram
@tacit plank It happens on lobbies with more than 5-6 players
also I don't have a vr headset so I don't play with it that's probably something worth mentioning
That's not too bad specs. You should really investin a SSD though.
Is your internet connection poor? Maybe it doesn't handle a big number of connections well?
You can clean cache by deleting everything within C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\LocalLow\VRChat\vrchat apart from output_log.txt and config.json if you have them
Yes, I did try clearing my cache
Ican recommend reading the last bit of output_log.txt it might be a bit hard to understand though
Could else maybe screenshot it for us.
Last part when it crahses should show enough.
My internet connection is kinda garbage but I believe it's also worth mentioning that I tried playing the game when it first came out and didn't have any problems whatsoever
Slow internet.. that could be the problem
Then again, I did VRChat fine on slow Philippine Internet
It should not crash him though.
Wifi or lan? And is the problem inconsistent? (as in, slightly random)
Yeah it's kinda inconsistent
But vrchat is the only game that seems to be affected by it
If it only happens with a lot of people, that makes me think it's network related. If not speed, then something doesn't work properly with a big number of connections. Could be a router thing, or software (I had killer ethernet drivers. Had to remove them as they limited my internet to 30mbps despite having 500mbps. Piece of shit software that was.)
Have you tried reinstalling and other such things?
Big odds it is. Best would be to email support@vrchat.com Provide that outputlog we talked about (scroll up to see how to get it. The bot explained how to do it) and give context as to what the problem is and when it last worked.
h-hello?
that moment it says a world has 500+ people and you look at it then it only shows 5
thats total across all instances though
yeah private and non
Worlds will only ever show 5 instances. Isn't related to priv/public. (Kinda wish there was a way to show more)
ok
since VRChat might not get an Oculus Quest release
i got a little idea on how i can play the game on the Quest
even ALVR
Oh it definitely will not get a quest release.
Ofc the usual phone hack methodes work.
Tho, if you want PC VR dont even think about the quest and other mobile / console VR HMD's
Im glad Fpaul said it definitely wont, now I can live my life 5% happier
Yeah vrchat would have to do some crazy stuff to get on Quest, like, material, bone, and polygon limits. I’m not even sure if a room of excellent only avatars could work
@ruby needle 
does anyone know if there is a cinema world that lets you play anythign other than youtube url's?
anyone know how to use props like the dubstep gun on desktop mode
So need help my mic won't work
Hey so I’m at the improv show right now and for some reason I can’t hear the show host or any of the actors on stage.. I’m within Voice range and my voice prioritization is turned off as well..
Any solutions?
Yes
I only mess around with the voice settings and now it don't work
@rough flax so help
is the tri limit still at 20k?
70k now
haha awesome! I took a break because I got bored, but now with 70k I think I may enjoy making models again 😄

Since then they also added an "avatar perform badge" to kinda show how optimized your avatar is. So things like a lot of dynamic bones and materials will lower the rating, but other than the badge it doesn't do anything.
I'm not a expert or anything, i just made some base models and learned how to add weapons to them. I prob forget how to do it all now, but learning is part of the fun of this game
Cool. Have fun!
Jaaaaamie
Heyyy
Hallo wanderful people!
how do we report an avatar 
You select the user by opening the menu and pointing or clicking on thé user or by going though thé social menu and selecting thé user through there. Then select report and select report avatar.
ah ok
Yee.
thanks
Living the life boys. In my own private limo in vegas with random girls, met gordan ramnsey at Hells Kitchen, and won $130 in black jack
Heading to the real void club
You sure that's true?
Why does rude children always complain about entertainment that people worked hard on and released for free?
Aww, he was removed before I could reply
is HTC wireless also support USB 2.0??? (not 3.0)
I don't think so, but don't quote me on that.
are rooms not loading whatsoever for anyone else
Is your HDD full?
works fine for me
If you're not on a shitty OS, pressing windows key + E will tell you how much space you have left
oh, that... yeah i got 111gb left
Should be good! Have you tried restarting? Cleaning cache? It doesn't sound like a normal issue, so it will probably go away by itself if you do things like that
i cleaned the cache
buy ssd, it will be cheaper.
Hello everyone ❤
hi
Ha still had my nickname from way back them
Political avatars are not allowed, so if it's like Hitler, you should report it
Some avatars have an armband with "kawaii force" on them though. Those are fine
got it, thanks 😃
Jamie is that advertisement random-chat message allowed? Unsure myself
Some random guy in VRChat just came up to me and told me my city and state
^ I had the same thing happen, they cant go any further than that dont worry
Don't know why putting an arm band with "kawaii force" on a hitler avatar somehow magically makes it ok but alright. 🤔
Apparently so...
@tacit plank removed it. Thanks
Anyone having issues loading newly uploaded avatars atm?
I wanted to make a play on words about various nazi slang, but that's probably a bad idea...
You're welcome, thanks for saving our time by removing spam and such
Reuploading mine rn to see if it just got corrupted or not.
Somebody did a little while ago, it said it couldn't create something
Quick Question My Friend is having a difficult time loading into vrchat. What occurs is this. He starts up the game through either steam vr or Oculus and the game launches. He gets to the loading screen and the bar stays at 0% How can he fix this
Seems like a coincidence that people are having loading issues now.
Maybe there's server issues? A comment in lobby about it as well
this has been occuring for him for a while though
Try clearing out cache and see if it fixes it
Ah. Try the usual things like clearning cache
Might be the home world bug, I used to get that a while back.
i just spent like 15 mins gathering info for the email and just realized there's an in-game report button
guess that goes to show you how nice the vrchat community is that i had forgotten it existed since i never have to use it

Some people claim that the in-game reports are ignored, take it with a grain of salt though
for what i understood, in game reports have a lower priority; since it said that if it was urgent, i should send them an email
Figured it out, also reminded me I need to report this on the Canny.
I really want to see the comment which makes you write that
Substance generated textures will not load on avatars or worlds any more and instead causes either a crash or a loading loop.
Procedual?
Only way I know of is shaders. Should still work
hey, I've been having a problems with favorite avatars not saving
I haven't been able to favorite or unfavorite any avatars for about a week now
anyone know a fox other than "wait for it to fix itself"? because it hasn't fixed itself
@tacit plank Those claims are wrong!
The claims about trojans, Scruffy?
Hey guys, does anyone of you know where to find these high quality avatars from jojo? With the animation of their stands. Cause I found a huge room full of them but nothing, and also a room that a youtuber created but he said his avatars were deleted. So I wonder maybe someone knows other rooms ?
slow download day again I see
sad hours when most of your friends list is dead
Sad hours when you've just got home from school and still had a lot of assignments to do
I can not log in just stay in the loading screen and the game does not enter any room
how does vrchat afford servers?
with money
beat me to it
gotchu fam
with what money though? how is it profitable
not even profitable, how is it even manageable? are there any future plans for monetization?
unless it's crowdfunded with something like patreon already and i just haven't seen it
They got money tree's at there office
They just grow the money and feed it directly into the servers
Bucky why do you care
There have been a few investors rounds and past that no one doesnt know it
Bucky why do you care
I don't know, I just think it's interesting to start discussing monetization
Vr is only growing and growing and with the newer opportunities opening up for people to play the game, VRchat will need to scale as it grows.
I care because I love this game and the community and to see it dissipate because of too little too late would stink
That's good but I don't think realistically that's enough to fund what they're doing
It would be cool to see a patreon where fans can help upkeep? Idk
The merch is definitely just an extra side bit, more of a fanservice lol
anonymous erp backers probably send them cash
they need that full body vr lewd to live
^
ah ok, thank you for the right word Mic
lol the creators said in old interviews that if you want to do that stuff they're totally ok with it as long as its in private so thats kinda neat
was a long time ago tho but it was a good interview overall
That's pretty cool, let's hope that keeps it going
Hey I cant get the Steam VR Chaperone to go away and it only gives me beginner options
has anyone else had this problem
VRChat is being funded by several companies, including HTC
There's actually a list of the companies on a website, can't recall what the site was right now though
I was shown a ptichbook with a few
I know Quest won’t be able to run vrchat, but I’m getting kind of worried about the implications of that if Quest gets widely popular and now we have this huge demographic of vr users but vrchat can’t be played by them
It's practically impossible for vrc to run, its phone vr, itll have its games
I think the vr is about to go backwards a little bit, Less PC vr, just for the time being. Im gonna be miserable though if theres no new oculus replacements, I hope valve changes that
Yeah. I'm expecting a lot of "how can I play VRChat on my quest"
Or "yay, i ordered a quest! Now I can play VRC!"
Like, Now I can be like well on a budget wmr or wmr 2 (oculus)
Or vive. Like theres no more oculus vs vive, and that bothers me
I hope the quest flops for loads of reasons 🤷
I dont want mobile games in my VR headsets
Theres already been a lot of that ive seen on here Jamie, many people who get oculus go and ask how they can run it, or if it runs
If beatsaber is the peek im out of the VR gaming industry
Is valve 100% making a headset?
yeah
I am very disapointed, in the sense of when reccomending people headest, theres no more competition because the oculus doesnt sell. My hopes are that the Valve is an oculus rift 2, but forreal.. but yknow not oculus
Even f you aren’t into quest, quest being successful is important. Like or hate facebook, them pulling out of vr would signal the end of vr overall
So I can be like
Valve or Vive
I don’t need vr games as long as vrchat exists and has people
^
The industry does though--
plot twist the valve is wmr3
My fear is that quest will go mainstream but eventually they’re gonna get tired of beat saber and if there’s nothing else we have to deal with news reports or “VR fad over” or vr being a one-hit-Wonder because in the public eye the quest is all there is
I think that people would look into beyond that, like HOW can I get more vr games? Oh hm one connects to my PC? Can do
Which is why I do think that the new rift s Is a good idea, if only its market price was halfed.
What we need is to normalize strong computers, because most people who are new to gaming dont have fuckin 1660ti's and i7's (random spec names)
many people would love vr but cangt use it, which is why the quest is mandatory
but we need an entire market of those games, to create the industry
and I believe there should be a free games on quest bundle, because buying it for no games?
Well in other news, good guy John Carrmack responded to a tweet if Quest will be able to tether to a PC, “no promises, but I hope so”
If it can that'll be wonderful
But I have no hope for anythign after they shut down oculus
because now what do I tell people when they ask for what headset is best? when the only option is between budget or shit conrtollers
If they prefer comfort theyre at a loss
So I hope valve comes out with something good and soon
Yeah both valve and vive are making new controllers so we just have to wait
That and there's wireless to consider. Vrc does terrible on wireless connections and then there's a future of networked ik to consider on top of constantly downloading worlds and avatars and hoping you don't just DC
Cant wait for that 5G router in my room, hallway, all other sleeping rooms, bathroom, downstairs, toilet, outside and living room.
So i can play VRchat everywhere with my wireless headset 
that'd be a recipe for massive injuries for me
I don't have too many problems on wireless, obviously between all the loading avatars the ping is gonna increase a bit
Guarantee I'd end up falling down the stairs
Wireless you still draw a boundary. That part isn't different than tethered
yeah considering the boundary I don't see the point for a wireless headset honestly
I wish we could normalize good pcs
Outside of this community, even many gamers I talk to know nothing about pcs, ot they buy ones labelled gaming, and they cant handle vr. Theyre pricy. How can VR be normalized, if pcs arent.
There are pcs labelled vr ready
That does not mean anything.
VR Ready means the hardware could in theory run VR, it doesnt mean it actually supports it.
Most of the prebuilts reach the requirements
Minimal requirements which are barely enough for VRChat.
Pcs labelled Vr ready, is not vr ready. people buy vr ready laptops that literally wont run vr
Usually they give you the worst experience possible.
My laptop is VR ready, it was advertised as such, but it wont work with VR.
It has the specs, but the HDMI isn't properly connected, and im sure if I had vr it'd run like shit
yet im buying the wmr because itll work with integrated
That's the problem with vrchat, it's sad that it needs a high end pc to run it properly, because some people in vrchat bought vr for this social platform and aren't even that interested in gaming
But they still have to build a really powerful pc to run it smoothly
You want to use WMR with the integrated graphics chip? Good luck
I hope it'll get more optimized in the future, maybe with the next unity update
It'll work
A friend has a PC that claims to be VR ready, with a sticker specifically showing the WMR headset I have. We tried it. It could barely run in 60hz mode let alone 90.
The wmr will work with my intel 630
VR ready just means the GPU can 'run' vr.
Integrated chips cant even run CSGO at 1080p at 60fps
Let alone run multiple displays
It'll run through the 630 and still use My main GPU, my 1050, and Vrchat is CPU based and ive got a good cpu
What
its not like my laptop only has a 630
If you connect it to the integrated graphics chip it will not use the GPU.
Vr is not cpu based tho
Those two are completely separate from each other.
@vocal shard knows more about it than I do
@pastel galleon VRchat is heavily cpu based.
Vr is not cpu based tho
I think with VRChat though, you're really processing more about the characters, etc.
The biggest problem with VRChat is CPU overhead, so its definitely more cpu based than anything.
IK and DB mostly.
I have an rtx 2070 in my machine and I don't think i have the CPU to necessarily back that up, so VRChat still lags (even with the power of a gtx 1080 on it's heels)
Vrchat yes, not vr in general
I recently upgraded my cpu from i7 3770k to i7 9700k and I didn't notice any difference
I have an i7 7k, so for a 1050 I get great frames, because its cpu based,
Cause it's my gpu holding me back rn
I said VRCHAT is cpu based not vr man
I dont plan on playing anything other than vrchat
You still need good gpu
Still you can't just have good cpu for vrchat
My laptop is what I have and is a temperary solution until I buy my pc
The 9700k is probably the worst thing you could have bought
Why?
7700 gang
Cause single core?
It wouldn't matter in vrchat anyway wouldn't it?
Hmm? Asking about wmr on your card Rea? It's running off the 1050. It's better just to say its powered by the 1050 because that's more accurate. The 630 is just what it's passing through @covert linden
@vocal shard Thats not how it works
And having more cores is better than hyperthreading, it doesn't do that much, it's not even supported in most applications
I prefer the i7 7k
On some laptops, it is. They power the rendering throughout the dedicated gpu, and then send it through the integrated before going to the port
Wanna link me an article that states that.
Unless you specifically switch your settings around it doesnt use it at all, and then normal VR should work as well.
It'll work, it'll let me run vrc, and thats honestly all I care about
You can give me 25fps and ill be happy
Good luck i guess.
Its temperary, as said im buying a new pc to be built in july
so like, change of topic but anyone else constantly get called a trap in vrchat and get sick of it
Fps in vr feel higher than they actually are for some reason
and I own the oculus for that
I dont get called a trap because im a girl in a girl avatar
Yes levi
Basically if you're an anime girl you are labelled as trap lol
i'm a trans guy before hormones and i like girl avatars so if i try to correct people on gender they typically call me a trap
I get called a trap because i don't talk. I would if i had the option to.
🤷
i have a feminine voice
I'm a straight guy and i've taken to using girl avatars because..well...when in Rome...
I know many people who dress as the gender they prefer, but people see it as people not being serious in a sense, because all guys wear it, but youll find people who dont say that
it's hard to find decent guy avis
That too.
theres some in Kareedas but other than that yeah they dont exist..
i tried making mine by porting a MMD model but i'm struggling with trying to figure out physics because it's ass without the physics
kareedas?
Yeah, you can commission custom avatars, or buy something off the rack if you like
oh yeah no i just didn't think that happened on vrchat
Because I work 50 hours a week and I have no time to make it for him
Yeah you can commission or buy on booth
I'm seriously considering an avatar commission
It's quite pricey
I make avatars and I could do it myself easy, Ive pretty much got weigh painting down.. but
i'm an artist myself so i don't question people getting paid for their work i'm just a bit surprised that people would pay for that kinda thing but then
i've wasted money on games and things like that myself
..... and commissioned stuff of my characters too so i'm in no place to judge
Not really, if you find the right people. I paid 15 Euros, for an avatar that was completely put together by parts.
The price is the only thing stopping me. I don't have the disposable income at the moment
but most people will charge upwards of 90$ I just happen to commission a really good person
Good for you, I paid 20 and it wasn't even finished properly, had to re-do half of it
Thats ass
90? Oh.. that's not that bad then. I was thinking $2-300
models are harder to make than art imho
Art is more practice to make than models
anyone can make models within 9 hours, art is years of practice and fundamental studying
Yes. You can learn to make good models fast
if you mean all from scratch, barely anyone does that.. but thats definately a lot of skill
You eventually get to do good models with experience, just by playing around with them
yeah i meant from scratch
but you're right about art being years of practice
i've been drawing for years and it still looks like trash
but i've improved
I paid 20 CAD, for an avatar, but there was one tiny weigh painting issue and I ended up having to do it myself to fix it, it had one random hair flake floating, and now I make models better than the person I commission from, seeing as they had no idea what the problem even was, but I still love what they made for me
3d stuff is also practice I think, you just experiment, make mistakes and learn from them
yeeee
wish i could figure out how to model proper lmao because i have a personal sona of mine i'd love to see modeled
I wish I could put the characters that i'm making in the movie i've designed, into VRChat but Its not a skill I have time to learn
and Im trying to save up for the movie so I dun wanna pay 300$ to get it from scratch
a movie!!! that's awesome!!!
alsoooo if anyone would like to see my art/characters dm me i'd love to share
I suppose, it'll be more awesome once im done the script and applying for grants
@covert linden "Anyone can make models" You mean stitch existing parts together.
Actually making models is a lot harder than art.
yes thats what I meant
I am well aware, making them from scratch is harder
Because people who do that likely not only already do traditional art, but had to study 3d Art, more anatomy, and shapes
Frankensteining can also be complicated if you work on something thats not a basic headswap with a dress fitted on
Yeah, thats sort of what I do
But I weigh paint all the clothes on because the other method id do didnt work right..
Yea thats pretty basic stuff
Mhm which is what I was saying, easier than art. Ive taken apart a model and reconstructed it, hair swap, headswap, clothes swap, and changes and drew a new face texture, If it wasnt for one weigh painting issue in the chest, it'd be a functioning model
Art takes years of studying, and so does 3d modelling from scratch, which would be more because then thats also depth beyond anatomy
Basically Modelling is art but on a 3d level
Yeah
Im doing a lot of 3d study recently, like 3d anatomy and space, because im making a movie.. And it's difficult, so I couldnt imagine modelling it
That's cool @covert linden
meh
I've been working on a commission and i said 25$
Which is too low for me now lol, it's taken me 5 days now. I'd probably go to 50-60 for the complexity
Like I sculpted it, retopo, baked, materials, full rig/visemes, now custom animations and sounds
What's up?
not much, just trying to find someone to hang out with
👀
👀
hehe just had to
yes 😃
Anyone who knows where i can find the rideable ogre avatar from titanfall 1?
from the game itself 👀
in vrchat*
hmm maybe someone on vrctraders will know
vrctraders?
anyone here with vr, who could resolve an issue that my friend has, she has oculus:
on vrchat it goes on desktop mode and wont turn on for vr and in the homescreen its all shaky and flashes black??
hold right shift on launch and change the display mode to vrlow maybe?
@coral steppe has she tried using the Oculus client?
well, i invited her to this server, but right now she cant see this channel yet
name is AzureTears
Aye
Hey, I've been trying to figure something out for a while... How might I be able to make my own avatar by using a .obj (Off of Roblox Studio of my own avatar on there), Exporting it to FBX, Going to mixamo and auto-rigging, And then export it to VRChat?
I've been getting stuck at the auto-rigging part since Mixamo doesn't recognise the skeleton to be "On the body".
I'm completely new to this and have been trying to look for tutorials on YouTube, But none of them helped.
I know people have done it before, And i'm just curious if anyone can still do it.
use unity if the characters in a tpose it will rig
The character isn't in a tpose due to the regular tpose for Roblox is just standing still. Not with arms out in a T-Pose.
Do I need to change the avatar's arms to be in a tpose before exporting to Unity or before exporting to other stuff which I have saw in tutorials?
I'll try that and get back to this server and tell the result, If it either failed or worked.
@manic wharf unity should tpose it
If not theres an enforce tpose prompt when you check the bones in the rigging menu
https://gyazo.com/a425a5919c0cf8891f201505c2d7c882 same error.
Idk if Roblox Studio just does it w/o bones or something but it has the same error as before.
I really don't know, I'm a newbie to this kinda stuff.
Ive never seen that site / program before in my life idk man
Mixamo.
Ah I use blender and unity
I mean, I'm using https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KB5B1BNkOes to do it but i don't really know; If anything, I probably need one which does it with serious detail on what to do
It uses blender and unity, So...
CATS is still the tool to use.
https://gyazo.com/49c82586b334bcbfdf63a9ce83861d20 Ouch. The "Fix model" option is greyed out.
So how am I meant to use CATS when it cannot fix it?
Should I try to use another thing?
Really unsure.
I mean, If Roblox Studio exports it w/o bones does that mean that i'm going to have to implement bones?
yeah a model needs bones
I've used a Roblox Auto-Rig for Blender... Hopefully it works now https://gyazo.com/da1710ebea67376b4c1ba1a98b83c422
Hurrah! I've gotten somewhere.
The fix model button worked, And it's got a skeleton.
Hopefully, I will be able to continue now. .-.
does anyone know this avatar's name? or mmd files. https://puu.sh/D5eUA/f882a42f04.png
https://gyazo.com/7341fa32d75ab83a51a8bdae8cbe4ce0 with luck it'll work aaa
Can someone help me add music to an emote?
i swear to god , if i had a dollar for every time i saw a russian leprechaun i'd probably end up being richer than bill gates
@faint leaf #animation #avatars-2-general
Is anyone else having issues with their friend list?
Knowing you got alot more people online atm but only a few is actually showing?
dunno if this is a bug atm but me and another one has the same issues
lags
guess ill just pass that onto the other discords im on atm as well, im not the only one woop woop
it was yesterday t_t
@rigid crescent does it really? I mean I’ve seen avatars with no bones
Non humanoid avatars can go without bones if i recall right.
yeah i guess if you dont wanna be humanoid, i just assume a roblox does
Yep
I would but people on there are so sensitive
I wonder why Russia seems to like the leprechaun? I mean it’s the most silly of the default selection for sure
Is it just me or is vrchat lagging behind today?
i noticed it too ;;
Read the blog post
They said the server would have issues for a time while they are changing some things
Just adding a faster stronger bigger server changes nothing unless they do coding changes to scale
And they are doing a good job on that right now in the upcoming update.
is there a place where I can find people taking commissions for models and such?
ah, thanks a lot
Best place would be to look for someone in the VRchat Traders discord.
Its a community ran discord (you can find it within #community-servers-old ) where loads of model makers show there stuff and take up jobs.
basically, I want someone to import this model for me with all the extra stuff it has, hopefully someones willing to do it lol
if its just a basic import it won't cost very much
Trust me, save your money and learn how to do it yourself. Its far from a hard task. A hour video will take you true all the steps.
also Oclac, don't you mean #community-servers-old not #public-world-request?
and yeah, like Oclac says, importing a model is not difficult. The hardest part (actually making the model) is already done for you
The site redirects here but the link is broken lol https://vrchat.com/community
When you're looking for community guidelines
@umbral reef Hey Oclac, I feel your same pain, don't sweat it.
Hello
Hey @vocal shard, how are you?
@vocal shard im good, how are you?
I'm doing well, just seeing how I can help out the community.
i'm new here & i've had trouble making any friends since i started playing
VRChat is a social game for making friends, but it's usually best to bring some local friends in on the fun to socialize, play games, and start the journey off.
If you speak to some users on the game, I'm sure they'll show you the ropes.
Remember to read the tips as the game loads, as they can be helpful for new players.
ok thanks
im new to vrchat to preface this but i just logged in and whilst i was in my home i got this weird animation thing nd it said "neko has stolen your shader" in some computer voice, and i have no clue what that was?
sigh i think it's my avatar
wait so there people with virus on their avatars going around ?
can vrchat quit breaking things every update im using the newest build and i cant see whos online
@uncut trail no, that is a false rumor
Hi
@vivid vale what do u mean...like u join the world but see no one or the friends list us bugged and not showing people online
my friends who are playing are taking a long time to show up and most dont show up at all it shows 7 online now but at least 15 of my friends are playing
Are they having similar problems when they updated as well??
not the ones that i can manage to see online
Mmhh...my guess is since the servers came back from being stable about an hour ago the refresh list of the friends list might be a bit slow and take a while to catch back up
👌
Am I the only one having problem joining worlds or friends, I can barely load my home world and friends/avatars/worlds dont show up properly. When I join a public lobby, it doesnt load at all or black screen.
Has anyone noticed avatars are blinking... very often lately? Like, almost twice per second?
Ive never stared at my own eyes in vrc no
Is there anything in the crashlogs that show what specific avatar caused it?
I've had I think 2 crashes today, same with my pal and it shut off PC
and i've been hearing about modded clients just coming in to lag/crash
i wonder if someone made a doom-esque skin thats 2d
that like changes sprites when it rotates
oh
why thank you, i've been wondering for ages
now i just need a tutorial on how to use it and publish it
I fixed my problem from earlier, just my internet messing around I guess.
Its happening to me right now @bright widget
I disconnected from my wifi and connected myself back in. I logged in without vr and it's working better. @tight jungle I hope that can help you.
tfw video players arent working anymore for me
o.O
yikes, stuff loadin slow lol
The servers are probably still catching up
as in i cant load a 2mb world lol
Hey how do shaders work
One of my avatar is invisible from afar
But visible up close
If others have shaders disabled will it work?
No it won't work
I thought Jesus knew everything
If they have shaders blocked everything turns back to standard
@cold talon Well not everything turns into standard.
didn't hidding name plates become fine? or is it still bannable?
You can hide nameplates by pressing Ctrl+N
by using the shader
Oh.. that.
Hmm.. I wouldn't think that would be allowed, especially when it replaces the default nameplate with a custom one
but all it does is uses a shader and a mesh so it doesn't reeally break it.. plus with the new public models thing i think there is a bunch of models using the shader
Huh, tought they never actually implemented the checks
?!?!
Jesus is new to vrchat @boreal creek
anyone ele's having issues with vrchat droppping alot of frames and going to black screen in vive and not really letting u into any worlds
What
my vrchat was being strange and lagged a lot in VR
I use crappy pc
And fps is 20-30
Sometimes hits 90
if i had more RAM I'd be fine but ykno my computer is blergh like that
Well my friend list is still fucked oof
hi
@finite kraken I've had that issue a few times, fixed itself after restarting my PC
might have been something to do with SteamVR
Man I wish I knew so I wouldnt drag on the pain man
@odd oak Im thinking the same
Ye. I am scared about that
Most things here are copyright so we may go back to days of 1 avatar
Thats terrible
Yep
Little did I know, today would be the day where everything crumbled
Me neither
where can i download vr chat
Steam
rlly i dont find it
:D
Hey, how long does it usually take to increase your vrchat trust rank? I have over 200 hours and haven't been blocked or kicked but I'm still user rank.
Time =/= rank
Yee @cold saddle
I got it at 450
I'm assuming uploading public world's will help.
Hey people. So I've been playing vrchat for a while. And there's something I've been wondering. For some playing in their homes. They see some achievements that have to be completed. I don't see it. All I see is a buddy machine sign
Well I've already uploaded a private world so hopefully it won't be too long.
@coral lagoon you probably completed it already..
I dont see it either, assume its becauze I completed it through casual gameplay
I miss the old hub so bad
Its hard to find,ive got to dig through world portals for it
It used to be so much funn
I didn't like the second hub
I liked the hub the blue one that wad user back in may
With the arenaish thing in the center
Uuuh
Im usually in friends+ in normal worlds..
Me also
But we dont go to many different ones because my friends on a shit laptop and im tired of unoptimized worlds
She dies to like 4fps when worlds arent optimized
And yeah it is
I used to be in the same place so, I get it and we stick to similar or known worlds
worldhopping is fun when not many frens are on
Yeah, we just rp in diners or go to publics occasionally
When I public I am a mobile loli because im lazy
I make my boyfriend carry me around
I removed all my.old time friends
most my frens dont play vrc much anymore
there is always a handful on tho
I recently got back into it after a year and a half hiatus
I had someone back in may I had s crush on, and I said id make his wishes come.true, bc im.cliche, and his wish was for me to get him vr and becauze I couldnt do that we had a big fallout
Its definitely the people that make the game for me
And I just quit vrc for a long time
So I removed everyone from back then when i returned, That was around may, returned in october
Now ive got probably too many friends, but I love them all
I try to.visit everyoone who comes on regularily
the community is much more open than I had originally thought
Oh I definately agree
the first few weeks coming back were rough tho
Definitely
because most people have all people blocked but frens
Or probably that time changes fast in the Internet age
I can confidentally run up to a stranger and be like Hihi! And suddenly a new friend, whereas irl I get glares. Everyones so inviting om vrchat
I made a friend byjust saying Hi Robot welcome to vrchat! While running up stairs
And one by saying maplr syrup and this guy from chili learning what syrup meant
Or I had someone trigger my ptsf and I blocked them, unblocked later because I was teaching a class of uhm.. exed in vrchat, and now hes like my best friend
you live a wild life rae
I tend to be quiet and antisocial
I am.irl but im a total extrovert and I release it on vrchat
I was an introvert and now im toootal extro
Probbaly due to my adHd
Im too loud ppl cant ignor3 me
opposite here
yes
Isn't there a Ugandan Knuckles protest against A13 Going on in VRChat?
Idk im not in vrchat but I doubt a vrchat protest would do anything
Yep its useless
Well
No the only thing one can do is vote for the next election and hope they take ages to implement things like they always do.
;-;
Why would they?
Thats a scary thought
Article 13 isn't even properly enforceable
sad day
@manic saffron looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/Zo78weh.png
It was a more of "encourage your local representatives if you live in the EU to say no" thing
but sadly it has passed 😦
did you guys see the german man fucks whole internet on pornhub
if i could keep up on how badly i damaged the textures by bluring and other filters on it
not sure how vrchat will handle the enforcement as there are several worlds affected
as well as avatars (mostly mmd)
:v
im not from the EU, but there is one guy i know who lives in the EU who may disconnect his internet if its as damaging as it says
Oi Elire! ^^
why do avatar worlds have to have their music on full blast, what is this american eagle >:C
Morning I love that comment thank u for making my day
Hey Rae
Hi Racchiiii
^^
Hey, Rachi..
By the way, if what he says is true, then I fear for everyone else in the EU
this can spread to other countries adopting the same thing
Was there a raid in here ? Why its on a slow mode?
EU peeps better invest in a VPN real quick
Lots of idiots join this discord
its always in slow mode to stop spammers 😉
@upbeat knot theree been slowmode here since november
Oh.
It's been implemented to reduce quick text spamming
and the stop of
spam
Lol
Unfortunately, the Safety Settings makes people feel entitled to their rank, which also has the effect of shutting off people of lesser rank
Oof
some people who are high ranked are assholes to low ranked people sadly
Im known but I love going around and being like aaay welcome to vrchat, when theyve got the default robot guy avatar
but im also waaay to extroverted for my own good
True. Other people who are high rank are being rude to low ranks who just log in vrc for the first time..
even in a knuckles avatar, i still welcome them and give them some good advice to not get deranked to nuisance
❤
I hate that,
just tell them to not mic spam and earrape avatars
most people Ive met on vrc are mega friendly but some are nice, but Im tired of people approaching me and making comments on my voice
The last time I visted the ugandan island. Everyone encounter a hacker and crashes me and my friend and everyone.
i hate it when trusted/known users abuse their rank and crash everyone in the room
I get told I sound 8 constantly, its alright until they push it too far, ill say im 18 and if you begin to harrass me and mention that i'm 8 constantly, then I get annoyed
Tree spawning?
there is a hacked client made to spawn world prefabs it can get a hold of and spawn them till the instance breaks
or people crash
Never heard of that till now
it's been around for a long time
only issue is some idiot made it easily accessible
Tbh people who break instances make no sense
I even encouter some people being rude to me. Saying shut up when I'm having a conversation with my friend and it piss me off I block the person.
like b what's the point
I was at the pug yesterday and someone made all the food spawn at one part of the pug, and go flying up
Yes
Oh yup
After it flew up it was all glitchy and floating in the air
It is.
He was also a flying chicken, flying across the pug
Did the person just fly?
I was in a Hub instance once and some asshole did that with those glowing trail objects
He flew threw walls
I was at a game of never have I ever the other day, and someone with a hacked client flew over to a big avatar and I was talking to my boyfriend so I was like SEEEEEEE thats the flying hack I saw, and he was like Ooh yeah
And the dude was like no no u didnt and landed and I was like xD dw ur good
But did the person did any bad to everyone like stealing?
But the chicken was being annoying, chasing my friend and harrassing her, and he was flying through worlds
well he chased my friend saying racial slurs
since i heard they can read the list, i renamed my trees as well to mess with them >:)
https://imgur.com/a/BOx3gdQ
I wasnt able to record, and im not sure how an ingame report works for that sort of thing
I guarntee by now hes banned because he wasnt subtle at all
record with obs of them glitching through the floors and flying where normally they arent suppose to
Rea you can use fraps.
I didnt feel like opening it, my system wasnt running well to begin with with that many people, otherwise I wouldve
Fraps?
To record.
I have OBS but I lose many frames
if an avatar is stuck on the celing and is flying, most likely a plane at the feet level
which would be ok if I wasnt already down tons
which would just be an avatar thing
it was definately a client, went through the bottom floor to the top and such
^ when to report them
It is client.
best thing that hasnt happened in a while was getting logged out and having to relog back in
Was it a desktop user?
Yes
Yeah, well aware, If screen recording wouldnt have literally crashed me id have done it, ive seen people do it before like the one time In never have I ever but I dont really wanna report unless theyre harmful, which that chicken definately was
Wait can post yb vids in here.
Youtube? yes
Keep in mind that playspace mover can also pass through the floor and ceilings, and is not a hacked client.
He was going way faster than Im pretty sure playspace can
Ok then. There's usually tell tale signs if you know the different methods.
He had no vr, he was dashing through walls and floors, chasing people flying saying slurrs, and throwing food around the pug with some client
Yeah, that's a hack then.
Playspace is usually vr, and they use hands for what ive seen, Flying avatars, theyre usually stuck at around one place, or theyre very hard to control
send video evidence to moderation@vrchat.com and pray to the lords of vrchat that they get the legendary 1 month, but they always use a way to ban evade 😦
Yep it was that exact client
Yep. PS mover requires a "grab and drag" method using your arms, or otherwise launches you in sudden leaps. It can pass through things vertically but not horizontally.
You probably shouldn't link that here.
Done that for you
😉
Seeing that video, the assholes even have a patreon. Disgusting. ¬_¬
🤢
thats disguitng
Oh it was remove. I was gonna do it. :v
Eek can someone please @ me when public lobby is done with the ptsd content, ive got it muted for now
just so at some point I can unmute it
@ruby burrow report it all
Oops
How do ya make ur char fly?
ALT + F4
Boi
😉
Box collider
when i died laughing when i told someone to hold the power button for 10 seconds as well as everyone else laughing when they got back on
For a jump/fly you use a box collider on your hip with an animator for the falling animation so you just have to jump and not use a gesture...
I recommend a toggle lock for that so you have some control
@covert linden It's safe
Thank You Elire ;;
Box collider
Sorry how do, I do that ? I will attach it to my char..below? )
anyone know why you cant jump in the open mic world?
but y
Would need to ask the world creator
Well, not "disabled" as much as it is not enabled in the first place. Jumping doesn't exist by default. World authors have to add it.
If you want to jump and have a mirror go to the box
i know
A mirror would make open mic night less optimized
would go in the hub but my game lags a lot in the hub
It would just become another mirror world with things inside it and nothing else
The purpose of open mic night is to watch performances not to stare at your reflection
but i mean back stage
Just use the vrc camera
cant not on vr
Well then you’re out of luck then
oof
Eae Glr
Algum Br?
Hi
How are you?
Ah I built my PC but I need a thinner HDMI connector to display since the thicker one isn't working.
Go for the 2060 if you can
Well it kinda depends on the price. Where i live the 1660TI's are cheaper.
But they underperform in some things because they have less (forgot the name but a type of cores)
Ye
@umbral reef what are tensor cores for
RTX stuff-- I personally dont see the worth in the current games with it
I just play vrchat and video edit, so as long as im not missing out without em im all good
And unless you have the money i judge the 1660TI better for the price i can get it (70 euro difference for ~18% performance boost)
I used to edit on an i3 8gb that was 5 years old- so if teh render speed isnt instant I wont notice lol
If you dont upgrade other things- Go what you can spend.
@mighty sequoia best advice is to go to a computer store and they’ll have it all
Not really though- Stores want to sell products. I cant care less what he buys in the end. Same goes for most of the internet.
I had mine custom made at a microcenter... I told them what I want to use the computer for and my needs and standards...
Far from all places are sadly like this. Same goes for those VR ready machines non pc building stores sell... Big odds they are not Vr ready...
Mine is, recommend a Microcenter
For mine I collect the parts over 2 years then took them all back to Microcenter to be assembled.. they did a great job my computer from them was Worth it...
My dad gets all our tech supplies from Microcenter, and he's been in the tech business since he was 18. I've never had a problem with anything from Microcenter tbh
Mhm ;;
i found a pennywise rabbit avatar and now im scaring people
Don’t get small always go big... last longer works better
Also the one thing I hate abt microcenter is when I try to go there for an Actually Nice Keyboard and for some reason it's oddly expensive, meanwhile the plain yet well functioning keyboard is legit 10 dollars
But tbh, that's really it
If only they would ._.
I need a new card but I could never afford it
I’ll make a Video on my Computer on what mine has so you’ll have a general idea... this goes for anyone
I really want to get well versed in tech bc I've mostly relied on my dad to fix my stuff... In reality, I only know a bit more than the average person
trust me, with the random issues (directly wirh hardware or not) ive somehow gotten with my computer...im already disappointed
@thin wasp learning to fix things, is always a handy thing to have.. 👍🏻
Im pretty sure I need to get more RAM to fix most of it...well, at least the lag
i know ._.
@thin wasp Free Up Space If That helps..
I got rid of all the dumb new things microsoft has been adding in their updates and that helped a bit
Tell me about it ._.
I also hadnt been able to use my computer for months bc i was really sick
I came back to do the updates and since my pc was already kinda fucked i had to restore it
ahah it be like that, its ok
@thin wasp sorry to hear that.. 🙏🏻
♡
most likely
When we restored it we found my storage or smthn was separated into multiple things
Wdym? Sorry, like I said, kinda average in knowledge 😅
I think my 1 TB was just thrown across 4-6 separate things
Idk what it was exactly
Im ignorant 😅
I would if I had money...gotta save up
To fix that you can open the hard drive case and heated then cool it 👍🏻 but don’t fry it... 😐
fuk i also keep forgetting to straight up clean the inside
i should do that when i get home cause....that's...probably adding to it
Yes Cleaning your computer Helps prevent Internal issues...
dust filters 👀
how do i install vr chat on an oculus
just search for it on the oculus store @misty steeple
@misty steeple DM me
but it doesnt come up
we are talking about the oculus rift and on pc right? @misty steeple
mobile
I also have some messed up usb ports in the back yikes
well, there is your problem then
do i need to have it on my pc
VRChat is a pc game
oh lol
it doesnt work with mobile vr or console vr
oop
a rather powerfull system
Oh random question, is vrchat better to play with a keyboard nd mouse or a gamepad
like, comfort wise ig
@misty steeple You need VR Ready with your PC... Download Oculus Program Online... If You need Further help ask Jamie or Noe & etc
Np
I might try gamepad just to see but, odds are my computer's gonna be extra dumb and it's not gonna work no matter what i so
Yeah ._.
Just be sure to unplug it once you go back to desktop else it will just spin you round and round
cue: that one song
@thin wasp Lol they spin me round right round something something 🤣🤣 that song
Yeah 😂
That’s a old song
shh dont remind me
im trying to pretend it's still 2009
(I am aware it came out long before)
I was in middle school then
i was only 8 😅
I believe I was 13
2009 was the last good year
I knew I spelled it right, my phone changed it
@misty steeple Ocukus store or steam
@thin wasp I tried so hard, but not so far....
poor soul
is anyone here good at making animations??
that wont work will it lol
but the oculus quest has limited games (VRChat will NOT be on it)
And is just overall fairly limited
it will have games made for it, on it, its using a phone proccesor inside of it, so it wont run many games well, mainly games simple like beat saber
Talking in VR =/= VRchat vibe at all
There is a reason this game is big and not Recroom...
Yes, but they have to make the games SPECIAL for the quest, because its using the same proccessor as phones do.
I doubt itll be a 90fps experiance
its extremely limited and if you cant connect it to a PC, then its not a step into vr at all, people will get it, realize that games arent being frequently made for it, and be disapointed
Hey
Its still a phone proccesor
no matter what you do to it, its not a pc.
It still will have very limited games
Tbh- Overall from what i have seen. Unless the game become PSvr style its not going to be worth getting.
Then the fact it actually hurts the industry (Everything has to be lowered to its level, look at console games going to PC with ports vs official proper builds...)
Imagine buying a ps3, and getting like, 10-30 games in choice, oppose to hundreds, I feel as it'll be a similar experiance, because how many companies are going to make games special for the quest, that they have to make run on a mobile device, when instead they could have it on a pc
And most are serious because money from facebook and users
Yes, i'm just saying its not good for those people, Especially if its the cord reason vive can be wireless
If it was a 855 id atleast see it being powerfull enough
But a 835 is hard pushing it- And also why the current base games are pushing it extremely hard already...
Its for people who maybe already do vr and want to travel and do it, but i'll be laggy, have minimal games, and not an ideal option.
that is a horribly pricy price, for that.
Cheapbook doesnt need to do anything.
They should have just not make a worse version of there PC headset and put more effort into the quest.
If it heats up, youll have fps throttle, that, and if the game is better than the system can handle
It wont lagg ash. They games will just not be allowed if they arent optimal in performance, imago and sale heavy
So if they wont have games that can cause that, is that not a point as to how games will be minimal @umbral reef ?
Also requires new software library ... what is shitty
the Psp didnt have many games for it as far as im aware, probably since its sony though had a fair bit
Youre right, the psp was much more successful
But the vr industry is growing, but still small in comparison, because it's new and a scary market, so do you truly think that theyre gonna have like endless games, when its on a mobile processor? With the vive pro out, theyre pushing more strength in pcs and games are coming out to enhance that, not mobile
Im just trying to say like, with the quest you cant expect there too be many many amazing games
