New year's in VR was lot despite the shite CPU shredding map
I still wonder what was doing that
rigid crescent
No
Empty map and it still did it
People were getting 45 on an empty map when looking towards the center in the direction of the statue
vestal pier
lots of shit rendering 🤷♂️
pseudo basalt
Was getting 15 with people all the time
rigid crescent
:) that seems like a poorly made map. It was seemingly nothing special. Just images and a few meshes.
And plenty of images were stupidly low rez
pseudo basalt
It didn't lag as much last year either
rigid crescent
for no good reason
vestal pier
i dont think the map has changed all that much, i know rocktopus did alot of optimisations on the meshes themselves
pseudo basalt
world 
rigid crescent
Something specific had to have shredding cpus on empty maps.
And only in one direction
rigid crescent
Yet I watch movies all the time at 90 
vestal pier
there were some custom shaders this year on shops
inner cape
inb4 its the twitter feed web panel
pseudo basalt
Could just be a shit script for the screen
rigid crescent
I thought that too but it didn't seem like it
pseudo basalt
Or any of the other screens
rigid crescent
It only happened looking towards the center
rigid crescent
Maybe next year they should make all the posters as low rez as some of the eye level ones :) I'm sure that'd help
pseudo basalt
posters
vestal pier
Next year they should remake the map from scratch and atlas materials correctly 👀
rigid crescent
Let everyone be a 2kb jpeg
vestal pier
No, atlas
pseudo basalt
Just remove all the dynamic bones from the map 
rigid crescent
Standard camera shots were reduced to pixels
pseudo basalt
Instant fix
rigid crescent
And certain popular users arts and posters were just fine. Let's just smash everyone's into pixels so we can improve the map :)
inner cape
i think that happened because they give us predetermined resolution to make the picture, and some of them are weirdly small
pseudo basalt
Make your own new years map
inner cape
shouldve done x2 or x4 of the dimensions they give 
pseudo basalt
With no lag or people 
rigid crescent
Lol it's sad because half the users promoted in the map could've made the map 10 times better if they handed over the project
Even if just performance
faint skiff
183MB too, woowee
vestal pier
👀
the map doesnt deserve to lag as much as it does - if it was atlassed correctly it would run fine.
rigid crescent
It's as if no one on staff had ever made a map before
vestal pier
Rocktopus assembled it, but he took over last years project - the upper portion of the map (and the quest one) runs fine, because he made those correctly
from scratch, too.
rigid crescent
I remember thinking "well maybe next year" last year
But every year they'll have a year to prep and it'll probably have a massive yet avoidable issue every year lol
Even better, I had 3 friends who were told they were on the "contacted" list and never were
inner cape
the nyc map is a 250$ asset they bought and edited tho, wasnt it
indigo fern
Think they said something like that last year
I dunno, the map this year felt unfinished, I chuckled a bit when I saw literal construction pipes/ledges in the corner
inner cape
oop, its 389$ actually, i found the link
indigo fern
It's almost like a non pinging announcement could've helped fill in
It's ok tho, we got rule 25 :pog
rigid crescent
Or contact the people you listed as contacted
Maybe you won't end up with people having multiple spots
And empty ones
indigo fern
I don't mind multiple spots if that person intended to take those spots, not just take something because no one else is taking em
And even then we got some place holders
inner cape
they didnt include the list of contributors in the world this year either
indigo fern
Mhm, widePeepoSad
Or the stage so people don't literally have to stand in the streets
rigid crescent
Oof you're right. How do you do a worse job managing an event than the year before. At least "2018 was hectic" is a decent excuse
Wasn't the stage just product placement
indigo fern
Whether it was or wasn't, it was better than meet me at the trash bin/light post
rigid crescent
Everyone met on the roof instead lol
indigo fern
Maybe like, up to 10 people per public
inner cape
dancing nikei trash can, dont diss it
indigo fern
I loved it
I think he was on the joker stairs too lmao
I don't think the map was completely bad tho, there were at least 2 pictures of System 💦

I know, I never thought I'd be religious

Honestly I'm happy I don't have vr given what happened last night lol
got one hell of a hangover right now
rigid crescent
I was in VR all night with all the US time zones new year pings
twin fractal
last night was popping wish I could join in
twin fractal
*discovering yourself#
north axle
Yeah, but if only Times Square was more optimized.
pseudo basalt
Yes
inner cape
pseudo basalt
very ironic honestly
floral aspen
I was out of town for the holidays so I didn't get to go this year. Last year's VRChat New Year was pretty cool though
north axle
I honestly expected it to turn out better this year.
pseudo basalt
guess it was rushed
because otherwise how would you not know it's so laggy and fixed it
north axle
Nah, I don't think it was. Last year's was absolutely definitely rushed because we finished it only by December 30th/31st IIRC.
pseudo basalt
youre in desktop
north axle
This year we submitted everything by December 10th.
pseudo basalt
When i joined and looked towards the center of the map i had 15 fps
it's not 'just laggy' it's actually unplayable
vocal shard
I also have a pc that handles every game at max video settings and still runs hundreds of frames a second
pseudo basalt
at least the roof was good
vrc doesn't care, it can lag regardless of your hardware because unity
floral aspen
You also aren't rendering everything twice since you are on desktop
pseudo basalt
and its bugs
vocal shard
Eh, I didn't have any issues
pseudo basalt
again, you're in desktop
vocal shard
Yep
pseudo basalt
obviously it'll run much better
vocal shard
Yerp
lament crown
so how is everyones day going?
steep turret
stares at both of my vr headsets from across the room desktop is life
vocal shard
time to go play R6 at 500 fps
lament crown
HOW
floral aspen
have fun with all that screen tearing
vocal shard
Nah, my screen is meant to handle that
steep turret
dude your eyeballs are gonna explode with so many frames
floral aspen
uh huh, have fun with your imaginary monitor that can somehow display 500 Hz
vocal shard
I didn't spend almost 5k on my PC setup to have it be trash
pseudo basalt
not capping your fps
vocal shard
Why would I loo
pseudo basalt
making the gpu work harder to render frames that you don't need
also screen tearing yes
vocal shard
actually, that might explain the random shutdowns
pseudo basalt
unless you use vsync
floral aspen
or gsync
pseudo basalt
at which point you're capping your frames
vocal shard
Msync
faint skiff
That's just a type of VSync
floral aspen
not the same though
pseudo basalt
random shutdowns could be unstable overclock
vocal shard
ZSYNC
pseudo basalt
or overheat but you'd probably notice
floral aspen
VSync is a hard cap, gsync and freesync is variable
vocal shard
Anyways, it's a recent development, but it's cuz I turned off fps caps
Or might be attributed to that
faint skiff
Basically it means your GPU is defective or your PSU is inadequate.
pseudo basalt
run some benchmarks, if it overheats it'll turn off
faint skiff
Shouldn't be overheating, everything has had thermal throttling for years.
pseudo basalt
if it's overclocked and unstable it will turn off
faint skiff
It'll just slow down if it's overheating. Could be a bad overclock though if you've OC'd manually.
pseudo basalt
or your psu doesn't have enough juice yes
vocal shard
*actually, hold one, gimme a sec
pseudo basalt
my friend got his PC from a pc builder and payed for oc as well
it would bsod randomly and he rma'd it
vocal shard
Figures it out, I think
pseudo basalt
they replaced a stick of ram and it still bsod
floral aspen
if you have a somewhat modern bios overclocking yourself isn't that hard
pseudo basalt
until we diagnosed it with benchmarks and just set a default oc profile
vocal shard
The plug i using has two very wonky outputs, one is much lower than what my PC needs, and one that's damn near perfect
pseudo basalt
so even if you get it ocd by someone they could be incompetent
it depends on which oc you want i guess, you could just pick a default safe oc and call it a day
vocal shard
I switched the plugs I was using, and I haven't had the random shut off issue for a couple das
pseudo basalt
if you want to get most out of it you gotta do some research and testing
gboard is actually such a garbage keyboard ugh
floral aspen
never heard of gboard
pseudo basalt
default google keyboard on Android
rancid yew
Yeah
pseudo basalt
i can't find a keyboard that i like
they're all missing the features i want
do i just make my own 
floral aspen
ohhh i thought you were talking about a physical pc keyboard lol

just like any other

I woke up with my left leg out of socket so that was fun

If you're new, just use avatars from avatar worlds, don't try and make your own yet.
balmy flax
Does anyone know if it is possible to get a download link for an old VRchat avatar that you deleted on your PC? I lost my old avatar files because my hard drive completely ended it's life on me.
balmy flax
I might have to ask support because I need that avatars files back. Unity didn't save the project either
inner cape
i dont think support will help you either

it's unlikely you'll get anything out of it

Hello, Iam looking for Rogue Shadow's Technomancer youtube "short movie", I wanna show it to friend, but I cant find it anymore ?
north axle
Rogue often hides or deletes his own videos. He changed his own YouTube persona multiple times as far as I remember.
bold spoke
I remember his own channel got demonetized for having Rogue Shadow's videos in it D:
north axle
I think his current persona is “Ai Angel”.
bold spoke
Yeah
north axle
If it got demonetized or claimed because of copyright, it must be private or deleted.
inner cape
why do they do that
north axle
I guess he cares about his reputation.
bold spoke
And money
north axle
Of course.
vocal shard
Boom
north axle
Which is why he created a new persona.
He had a few Filthy Frank VR videos too but it’s not exactly the same as the original for sure.
steep turret
oh i remember those
north axle
They weren’t completely offensive or as filthy either, and the FF fan base found the videos a bit disappointing.
gloomy pine
anyone ever seen a female Genji avatar? I need the arm lol
sly fiber
why don't they add a steam workshop
it's so frusturating trying to get your own avatar
steep turret
its really not tho
slate verge
@gloomy pine not really, but i did use a female genji avatar a couple of weeks ago. She was more of a Ukon female character.
if you search Ukon avatar worlds, you'll come across it.
abstract nymph
What happens if I hit "Clear Download Content Cache" or "Clear All Local Profile Data"?
it says I have 12gb used which I don't know if that's good or bad
desert stratus
@abstract nymph somewh3re on your storage drive is a shitload of vrc stuff. Maybe like 12gb of vrc stuff
vocal shard
@molten gale
steep turret
yeet that shit
desert stratus
if you click those buttons it getsdeleted. Youd have to redownload player avatars and worlds
gloomy pine
@slate verge oke I go look! I do remember seeing one a long time ago in vrc, but can't find it online
desert stratus
but you free up a ton of space
abstract nymph
So.... I wanna keep my avatars how could I delete everything else ._.
desert stratus
you dont get to really chiose
Avatars do not take long to dowbload from the vrc servers
they take like 5 or 9 seconds if ur inteligente
abstract nymph
..... I have like 2 or 3 avatars that I copied from other people so I don't know how I'd get them again everything else I got from a world
gilded helm
You could save avatars in your own world right?
desert stratus
do you have them favorited
abstract nymph
Yeah I have 16/16 favorited lol
desert stratus
cuz if you have the favorrited then it doesnt matter, you have them
yeah youre not gonna lose them
you would just have todowwbload them again
you know how they load in very quickly in-game?
abstract nymph
So if I clear the download thingy I won't have to worry about losing avtars
desert stratus
thats because those avatars are part of the 12gb of cache you have
The first time you ever used them you had to download them
gilded helm
What was the way that people use to save the Avatar ID again?
desert stratus
Erasing them from your cache just means that the next time you use them, they will need to be downloaded again instead of loaded from your computer
@gilded helm SDK, manage content, copy ID
gilded helm
I meant from the website
desert stratus
uhhh...api?
gilded helm
I remember someone saying that as a workaround for the 16/16 favorites
abstract nymph
ah alright ok so I have my avatars favorited so after i delete the download cache I'll still have access
desert stratus
mhm
gilded helm
but my memory is shite
desert stratus
you also redownload and add content to your cache every time something is updated
thats why sometimes vrc appears to "redownload" worlds and your favorite avatars sometimes take more time than normal to load in
gilded helm
oh shit it was pinging the api
faint skiff
Anyone know of a world with a movieplayer that works with non youtube videos?
rigid crescent
They should all work shouldn't they? The youtube-dl covers lots of sites
faint skiff
Nope, almost none do
rigid crescent
The movie world can do Dropbox links so you can try that
I've watched a lot of movies I've uploaded myself there.
faint skiff
But thats dropbox so no use, i just need arbitrary site supott nt hadoded sites only
thanks stemvr keyboard
rough pulsar
The video players should accept direct (and correctly encoded) mp4 urls
I've had massively unreliable results with that.
faint skiff
Yeah, thats why i asked if anyone knew any that do actually work. Also webm.
rigid crescent
Yeah the movies originally came from another server so really anything should work
faint skiff
But it doesnt, hence the question

twin fractal
I'm highkey thinking of doing the same thing. just trying to figure out how to not be generic
there's already too much generic "content" imo
gilded helm
It's not possible to upload your world without having it public right?
hushed fern

valentines day on vrchat is gonna be a trip
faint skiff
@gilded helm Yes? Just don't put it in labs.
gilded helm
I assumed that the "Online Publishing" meant that it would be public, no? @faint skiff
devout island
it can be public but it doesn't have to be
gilded helm
oh shit
faint skiff
No, that just means you've sent it to the servers to actually exist.
gilded helm
The description only mentions uploading it on the servers for other people to see
not that it can be a private world
devout island
you can make it private after you upload it anyway

Apart from the visual fidelity
how good did the thing work in terms of tracking / input.

I think it had something inside the ring, with the standup version.
I think it had like several magnet sensors or something along those lines.

@ruby needle tracking was good but the 20 fps sends you west

i like it when parents are just as curious and careful about buying things as their children are

Yeah. The biggest issue at that time was clearly the performance bottleneck of the hardware at that time. 😦

i was able to basically explain the entire vr lineup to my dad so now he can pick and choose a vr headset for himself with reasonable confidence
sour lily
my birthday is in 3 days and idk if i want to ask for a vr setup or someshit
wraith jungle
Yes it was
pseudo basalt
Good luck finding a headset in stock now
sour lily
i do have the pc for it, runs well enough, but i just dont have the money for the equipment
wraith jungle
@sour lily get the oculus quest
pseudo basalt
ew no
sour lily
well, i dont have a pc bottleneck
wraith jungle
Why
sour lily
i just have no money for a headset
wraith jungle
I use my quest on my pc
pseudo basalt
it's better than no pc headset but is also just worse than a regular pc headset
so why get an inferior experience
pseudo basalt
A compressed video stream going through usb is the same as a dedicated pc headset?
desert stratus
ymmv. Quest link has compressiom which is big reason why people (including joj carmack) reccommend rift s over it for dedicated pcvr
wraith jungle
The picture quality is stunning
desert stratus
if it works out better than your rift s for pc play tho, then so be it >u>
wraith jungle
You can up the resolution to make it look great

it's pretty mesmerizing ngl
when I first go VR I hopped into VRChat and stared at my avatars movements matching mine. it was mind blowing tbh
pseudo basalt
I dunno, i keep hearing that the quest isn't that great as a pc headset
fading flower
i saw someone say polemos?
pseudo basalt
And unless you really want to play oculus games on the go somewhere, why would you get one
It's like buying a laptop that you'll never take anywhere
twin fractal
I mean it's not a PC headset so I can agree with that. but the tbf I don't have a comparison reference
sour lily
kindle for the longest time but i have no use for it
twin fractal
until I get my index
desert stratus
at the current state its very heavy YMMV
pseudo basalt
But based on a bunch of opinions it does just seem like a inferior experience
desert stratus
there is also rhe difference between virtual desktop and cockulus link
twin fractal
when people say it's uncomfortable they are not kidding lol
desert stratus
generally as separate headsets, quest is the overall better HMD imo
Higher res, oled, only dealbreaker is refresh rate
twin fractal
I can play for hours on end personally but I know full well I could be much better...
desert stratus
halo strap seems mega sus,especially next to whats supposed to be an improved version of the old strap

yeah thats cool and all but can i just tape a crt to my head

sour lily
all this headset talk is fucking me up all i want to do is tape a crt to my head and use two wii remotes

hell yeah

truly a budget setup

a budget setup for me would just be two wii remotes

right now my goal is get FBT (base stations + trackers), then get the index HMD and knuckles
pseudo basalt
You can probably run a lot of older games on the quest too if you wanted
Like I can run half life, quake 2 and games like that on my phone no problem through their source ports
You can probably get vr mods for all these ancient games too if you wanted
But I wouldn't get a quest as a main headset personally
||I'd gladly take one as a gift tho||
sour lily
me too mate

which headset company got bought by facebook?
ill be honest, that's the company im going to avoid

it's oculus

normal geode
Your image

hey I have a Quick question, is there a way to download models from vrchat and use them in blender? I've been trying to find a Canadian goose model and I cant seem to find it
normal geode
Which avatar world did ya get it?
ruby needle
you'll need to spend a bit of money if you want that bunny
And that was a rhyme which was funny
Oh shit, gotta go 
*
rigid crescent
There's no official way to download a model from the game no. You'd have to go about finding it yourself and uploading it
also what image and what avatar 🤔
normal geode
Yours
rigid crescent
Oh, it's not in any public avatar world, I purchased it myself from Booth
normal geode
Oh ok
inner cape
i made it : )
rigid crescent
lol
vocal shard
im looking for just a goose, looked on nicovideo and booth and cant find any on there, any other websites that might have one?
rigid crescent
🙂 I've already met the guy who made it, you're not my mom
drowsy python
so if i cant use the model in vr chat where else can i find this model
inner cape
the untitled goose goose?
vocal shard
ask the creator directly
I just want to find any goose to use, untitled or just a normal Canadian goose
inner cape
🤔
rigid crescent
they want that goose model
vocal shard
the untitled goose model or a Canadian Goose model
drowsy python
so theres basicly no way i can get her avitar?
vocal shard
drowsy python
so anyone know anywere else i can get the model
rigid crescent
Most likely nowhere
vocal shard
how do i make sure the model is able to be seen by quest?
drowsy python
sadness :C
ruby needle
@normal geode You can purchase it here https://booth.pm/en/items/1336133
vocal shard
broken plover
30 bucks for this model? Thats not that expensive isnt it?
rigid crescent
👀 for what it is and includes, yeah
broken plover
I can finally be a mic clone! But if I would buy that I would customize it to my likings instead of copying someone elses idea
rigid crescent
most booth models are pretty inexpensive
Yeah, that's what most people do.
Most miminos don't look the same at all, you can see as much here at the ~official~ meetup https://puu.sh/EVr3Z/f540402927.png
some people just like the base though lol
drowsy python
imagine not letting people use a model for vr chat just because you dont want the so called immage of your waifu ruined
broken plover
Looks like a family picture
rigid crescent
I mean it's a dumb reason but it's also their model, they put the work into it so it's fair enough I guess
It is a family picture
inner cape
i got omega jebaited by booth, i thought theyre giving away The Bike Shed On A Rainy Day map, but its legit just posters of the world
drowsy python
imean like sure its there model and i understand that butr like common lol
inner cape
fuckin sad
rigid crescent
stupid but fair
drowsy python
i agree @rigid crescent
rigid crescent
o found it, me and mom https://puu.sh/EVr7j/7e732ac6eb.png
ruby needle
you might have found it
rigid crescent
I wish I knew what animal he is. The ears look like dog ears but I think his tail isn't a dog's tail
vocal shard
That puush could not be found.
rigid crescent
fucking puush
inner cape
That puush could not be found.
vocal shard
show tail
vocal shard
man making a model is way harder than i thought
just getting models is making it difficult
rigid crescent
Something tells me that those gooses aren't gonna be rigged in a way that you can easily upload either
vocal shard
isnt that just deer ears ?
broken plover
thanks to booth you can buy high quality bases so if you have money you can skip that part
rigid crescent
Oooooh shit, a deer!
That might be it
i have to ask him but i dont wanna look dumb because he might just be a dog after all lol
it could be a corgi
inner cape
🐶
vocal shard
that's definitely not dog ears
rigid crescent
No one ever mentions his species either. Like with other models they'll say something like "got a pic with the silly cat!" or something
but no one ever mentions an animal when they talk about his model
they just call him mimino mom
im suddenly leaning towards corgi though even though i was sure it wasnt that. They also have the "Way too big for their head" ears
torn vine
Anybody got some epic stories from vrchat
vocal shard
Is it correct that in the Great Pug if someone using a supposedly stolen avatar goes there they get forcibly respawned?
torn vine
Doubt
gray dragon
how do i chat with a discord mod for vrchat
vocal shard
Well The Great Pug is forcibly respawning people
vocal shard
no it doesn't respawn you
gray dragon
or maybe there is something wrong with your computer
vocal shard
you get respawned if your collider goes outside the "allowed" areas
thorny aspen
collider this is true
vocal shard
Only happens with certain avatars
gray dragon
avatar glitch?
i honestly can only give assumptions
hey guys quick question how do i make internet friends
vocal shard
Yea thats not
That has to be done via script. I just don't know how OwlBoy has it setup
broken nymph
find people with common interest for starters?
gray dragon
hey eagle what kind of things do you like
totally unrelated question
i see you are a man of culture as well

honestly same
but honestly i wanna play vrchat rn but i don't have friends in vrchat
so its like
bruh moment
gray dragon
it's difficult because i end up joining worlds and i don't know how to communicate very well
dusty sparrow
i feel that
gray dragon
i think i have anxiety
vocal shard
start doing it, you can only learn now
dusty sparrow
i played recently but i had a lot of fun after you get that first push to do so
gray dragon
i think i need a good avatar that fits me too
but also im broke af
probably because i invested in trackers
real
vocal shard
make your own model
vocal shard
plenty of channels to ask for help
gray dragon
hmmmmm
i did try to make my own models but i have no idea where to start, and I just don't have the time to make the model myself
and even if i did, im insecure as to whether or not it would even look good
considering the talent that exists in that sort of thing already
gray dragon
if i just had money i would commission an artist who is an expert in that field, that way i save myself the time
vocal shard
just make something that YOU enjoy
doesn't matter for others, you are making it for you not other people
gray dragon
i guess its just one of those things where until i am in a position where i am makin the moneys, i won't be able to get one. i don't doubt i could make one myself if i really tried and put the effort into it. i just don't have that kind of time
real college student hours
vocal shard
30 minutes a day is enough to start learning
learn the basics and you'll only improve your skills
gray dragon
this is true
inner cape
dont let your dreams be dreams
vocal shard
when i first started, there was basically no tutorials for vrchat, so the only thing that you could do is start doing it by yourself failing again and again until your get it right
gray dragon
and i have so much of that it sucks
i do appreciate the time and effort for the advice though
it makes me happy that nice peoples like you all exist
abstract nymph
I feel like no matter what world I join 5-10+ people in it I always lag or have some weird head tracking issues kind of annoying :I
abstract nymph
Oculus ;-;
vocal shard
Pc powerful enough =
gray dragon
Oculus has a tendency to have tracking issues
abstract nymph
:I
vocal shard
does it lag in empty worlds ?
Check if the people got laggy avatars
gray dragon
i think it has something to do with light
if you turn on a lamp i think the trackers track better
but i could be wrong
inner cape
if its rift s then yes
gray dragon
ok im gonna go world hopping if anyone wants to be my friend on vrc my name is the same as discord pls add me i need fren
aw frick i gotta get my stations set up again cause things happen man
vast forge
Can someone teach me how to setup base stations?
gray dragon
there is a tutorial on the thing itself
like when you launch steam vr
depends on your system though

If they're vive lighthouses, make sure you have the right modes set on them :o

tacit plank
Does anyone here know any unique properties of the VRC in-game camera?
I'm not entirely sure what the camera even is, but I need to know its settings
ruby needle
tacit plank
Does it not differ from the players camera?
rough pulsar
As a unity camera it definitely is different since it culls the nametag layer and some other stuff. Pretty sure it has a different FOV too.
tacit plank
Thank you! I wonder if a shader can read the FoV
rough pulsar
If it can it'd probably be through some stuff here
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/SL-UnityShaderVariables.html
tacit plank
bool IsInCamera()
{
return _ProjectionParams[1] == 0.3f;
}
Thank you!
It might not be 0.3 in VRChat, but you can rotate the texture by 100 times that value to sort of estimate it, or something
onyx obsidian
if someone is signed in with Steam, can I add them as a friend?
covert blade
Yup
covert blade
Yes
onyx obsidian
okay thanks
strange wagon
i can't believe htc actually didn't put touch sensors in the cosmos when it's 800€
so even with cosmos you're stuck with garbage tier controls
just when i was about to reconsider when i saw the steamvr plate

Oh damn really?

It could have taken that mid slot but it seems to have ended up being a terrible cash grab.
stuck oracle
Is it bad that I already have 24 hours played and I’ve only been playing the game for like 3 days now
lusty quarry
might be
if you're enjoying it and everything in irl seems to be going okay then it's fine
stuck oracle
I’m just enjoying the game too much, even I find the people threatening to DDoS me funny
stuck oracle
Haven’t been ddos’d yet 😎
lusty quarry
neither have i
stuck oracle
yet
lusty quarry
kind of surprising though, got the OG name of Nut before anyone else did
stuck oracle
Like one guy said he was gonna DDoS me and nothing happened
I wish i got the name seska
But someone else has it
lusty quarry
yeh, i've never really heard that name so it's weird that it's already taken. then again, i don't go researching names so
stuck oracle
Idk surprisingly it’s taken on a lot of things
lusty quarry
i snagged Nut before VRChat blew up l0l
stuck oracle
I found VRChat a year ago because it blew up
The Ugandan knuckles...
But I never played it until I got VR
Which was just recently
lusty quarry
yeh, the only time you see a knuckles now is if someone is either trying to revive the meme or is just clueless
you got full body? or just controllers and the headset
stuck oracle
Just controllers and headset
lusty quarry
mm, cool. for christmas i assume?
stuck oracle
Yeah got it for free surprisingly
lusty quarry
that's dope!
stuck oracle
I got the rift S mainly because it was cheaper and it was an easier set up
lusty quarry
yeh, i got full body back in november. i've been playing more often now that i have it, since i've always been a flexible person
for meh birthday :o
lusty quarry
it is but it's worth it if you wanna invest time into vrc
stuck oracle
Yeah if I would get it though I would other games as well to use it on
lusty quarry
yeh, it's only really useful for VRC, sadly
stuck oracle
And I would have to get sensors as well
lusty quarry
do you have the 2 base stations?
stuck oracle
No since the rift s tracks inside out
lusty quarry
need to go update my main avatar's picture lol
got this pfp and then didn't put it on my avatar
so lemme do that now
stuck oracle
I assume you guys have cUsToM aVaTaRs?
desert stratus
yes
lusty quarry
indeed
stuck oracle
I wish I had one but I dont know how to make one so I don’t try to
rigid crescent
I mean custom in the sense it's unique to me but nothing from scratch
🤔 you don't know how to make one so you don't try to
stuck oracle
mhm
rigid crescent
no one knows how to make one before they try to
stuck oracle
Yeah but I just don’t know where to start
lusty quarry
kay that's updated
yeah, the most complicated thing for me imo is learning all of the blender keybinds l0l
stuck oracle
Cus there’s no way I could make an avatar from scratch but I just want something unique, so that should’ve be too hard right?
rigid crescent
it's extremely simple yeah
stuck oracle
shouldn’t*
lusty quarry
there's tons of assets around the internet that you can look for, and putting them together is fairly simple
rigid crescent
Find a recent guide to follow, replace whatever MMD they use with one that you want and start from there
quartz nebula
i just started looking into how to make custom avatars
the biggest hurdle just seems to be getting accustom to the programs
desert stratus
@quartz nebula mhm
development tools demand that you look up and answer questions like 50% of the time even as you become more expereienced
you will intuitively know everything at some point though
stuck oracle
Quick question, I’m using blender how do I see the cats menu thingy majig it’s probably extremely obvious and going right over my head
quartz nebula
its nice to know the basics of uploading now to get more "unique" models like people above were saying, i just crave that creative mineral and want to make my own
rigid crescent
Yeah, that's how I've gotten this far. I've had literally no one help me on anything but telling me what hotkey does what im looking for
I've looked everything up in guides or official documentation
desert stratus
@stuck oracle 2.8? please tlel me ur using 2.8
rigid crescent
Aside from a few shader settings, i guess that counts as help lol
desert stratus
arrow to the right, its fucking tiny and weird
stuck oracle
@desert stratus yeah I’m using 2.8
desert stratus
make sure that CAT's is enabled in your addon settings
stuck oracle
lol it was right in front of my face
desert stratus
nice 0u0
stuck oracle
Where’s a good place to find some models?
desert stratus
do not go to the forbidden website
if you try to type it in this server the bot will delete your message and for good reason
starts with "VRC"
stuck oracle
oh
pale timber
VRChat
desert stratus
hosts stolen content, supports stolen content, also has massive security issues, such as people uploading project destroyers as a "shader"
start with deviantart, if you wanna pay for nice stuff check out booth.pn
stuck oracle
I’ve just been looking at some Devian art and sketchfab and didn’t know if there was anything else I should know exists
desert stratus
pm*, for commissions there is #community-servers-old VRC Traders
stuck oracle
@desert stratus is it VRCm by chance
desert stratus
yes
stuck oracle
Ok
desert stratus
literally my friend uploaded a "shader" on there once, paid shader for free, that just sits there and deletes everything in your project after a while
quality website~. dont use it.
desert stratus
not actually a shader of course. it was probably just like part of the shader or a shader with a script nested inside labeled like "Toon_Shader03" or something
pale timber
ohh
desert stratus
shaders come with a lot of tools, dependencies, and scripts
its really easy to hide something in there since 99% of people are not going to check for that shit
pale timber
making models is confusing
desert stratus
and shaders are literally just scripts like most other things, which is why people do some insane things with them 0 0
shilling shaderfes, go check it out when you can~
making models is confusing but satisfying when you arent doing them for ungreatful people for free
pale timber
i've been interested. i tried it once but got lost and gave up
desert stratus
the hardest hurdle at the start is getting used to developer tools
pale timber
so efficiency
desert stratus
unity and blender are not the kinds of things you can just mess around with until they work. i tell people this, theyre like "let me do it my way," they get frustrated and sad and wonder why they cant make anything when theyre just angry at software they refuse to work with
every single time you want to learn somethingnew you have to be prepared to look up guides, ask questions, and teach yourself / remember things as you go, which basically amounts to helping people
and accepting corrections, of course
vocal shard
I tried for hours just to find a model :^)
pale timber
yeah i tried that as well but i messed everything up got lost and gave up
desert stratus
if you want to learn retopology, you dont just "sit there and try making stupid 3d modeling work," you look up a retopology video, watch the whole thing, then go look up more guides if you need clarification as you go along
vocal shard
I looked at a couple of guides, it seems pretty complicated, but the more I looked at, I realized how easy it can be once you get the basics done
desert stratus
id teach people if school wasnt occupying all of my time
pale timber
in every guide i mess up at least one thing and can't find what i did wrong spending ours trying to figure out
i kind of gave up on school
vocal shard
are you making a model from scratch or using a premade one and getting it ready for vrchat?
desert stratus
questions questions questions, join a shitload of unity and blender discords so you can get away with asking the same question 5 or 6 times every few hours
or just ask me and ill probably know lmao
vocal shard
lol
pale timber
okay i'll get into it again
desert stratus
i give people help way too easily, like the second someone is like "avatar bullshit" i bring out my bullshit inspector glasses
pale timber
woah detective
desert stratus
@lusty quarry show me the goods
vocal shard
wish i knew how people got certain models, Ive been looking for a Canadian goose or a domestic goose model and can't seem to find a decent one
pale timber
you can buy them
desert stratus
as in the goose game model?
pale timber
i swear someone was asking about this earlier today
vocal shard
I was trying to find one with the height about the same as a Canadian goose
pale timber
you can edit the models to your own preference
lusty quarry
vocal shard
thats what I was thinking
pale timber
you can change the height in unity
vocal shard
I'll see if i can (and not destroy the entire project)
desert stratus
proportional editing in blender is not...the most cancerous thing
and changing height in unity is like three values
in the avatar root
god fuck beat saber and their weird ass avatar mod
vocal shard
well quick question, have you guys seen the swole goose model in vrchat?
desert stratus
i tried using it and ended up with a short avatar and a tposing giant
pale timber
uh
desert stratus
id rather not see that, whatever that swole goose thing is
pale timber

desert stratus
but yeah i gave up and just used meika hime which was already there

desert stratus
same but i do remember bfbb, especially since its getting remastered
pale timber
wait it is?
desert stratus
a goose is not the hardest thing to make quest viable
vocal shard
which I'm guessing makes it much harder?
desert stratus
mhm! it looks fucking good, bfbb rehydrated
pale timber
send
lusty quarry
it doesss
vocal shard
I mean, most of the geese i've found in vrchat aren't quest viable lol
desert stratus
i remember someone making a toucan a long time ago
its probably been the most optimized and best looking quest avatar ive seen
pale timber
TOUCAN
vocal shard
and all the untitled goose geese i've found aren't quest viable, main reason is how much polygons they take
desert stratus
just kidding thats like most of blue asis's avatars
