I got a question for furry avatar makers. how do you make the furry faces not look like the stuff of nightmares?

#

The actual link between the bones and the SkinnedMeshRenderer is made through the bones array. However this array is not visible in the inspector though it is serialized. That's why a SkinnedMeshRenderer does not animate when you delete it's own bone array.

This is a long standing design flaw in the SkinnedMeshRenderer. You can’t set the bones using the inspector. The Root property doesn’t control that, it’s only used for root motion I believe.

You can assign the bones in code and get the desired effect. You can also do this by writing an editor extension.

Instead of changing the rig, a quick hack is to set the mesh property of the SkinnedMeshRenderer to whatever mesh you want.

There might be some hacky workaround, but it's not a feature that's supported anymore.

Oh, you meant just making the avatar float above the ground higher? You could probably do that with an animation.

Anyone know a avatar that you can customize the hell out of its small has particals can draw with its fingers and has a super gun? Because i forgot to favorite mine then I switched and now it gone it one of the coolest avatars that i have seen in almost 2 year

pretty much how fake playspace on avatars work

#

take a look at gogoloco prefab, either to use for fake playspace or to learn from

neon finch
#

so i have a question

#

how long do i have to wait for them to trust me

#

so i can start making my own avatars

neon finch
#

Oh ._.

#

Will I know-?

#

when you are New USer

#

also, if you only have a steam/oculus account, you need to make an actual vrchat one and merge it with ur steam/oculus

#

How do I do that?

#

make a vrchat acc on the website, then go to the merge section and there will be a box to put a merge token

#

Where do I find the website

#

go into vrchat like u normally do, dont login with the vrchat account you made, and go to ur settings and in there there will be a merge token you type into the website

#

just google vrchat website

#

Ok

#

Wait but it auto logs me

#

How do I stop it in time

#

idk if this is the right place to ask but when i upload a avatar and have a option to use it as private or public, what happens if it's public? I mean wont it only be uploaded to my account only no matter which option I choose? Does it affect avatar cloning for the avatar?

neon finch
#

if its private, then no one can clone it reguardless of what ur cloneing settings are on

#

unless you find yourself running into a ripper who just steals your model either way then ur just fked

#

i keep getting the error that my bones arent specified even though they all are?

sage burrow
#

is there any alternative to dynamic bone? I've been using it for years and I just wonder if anyone has made something better

harsh hull
#

physics bones is vrchats alternative to dynamic bones, which is a part of the avatar dynamics stuff they are working on

#

but there’s no word on when they’ll be released or available for testing, so just gotta wait and hope for now

sage burrow
#

ah oki

#

I messed with cloth once

#

I think I'll just stick to dynamic bone for now

#

still using the same package from 2017

#

lol

using mods are against terms of service on vrchat and can get your account ban

please i need help

so describe what's giving you trouble

can someone help me upload an avatar

past vortex
#

I just found the "New VRChat avatar dynamics + optimized dynamic bones" youtube video. Is there any news with that new physics bones system?

lime plume
past vortex
#

Seems about right. Just finishing up a Avatar that will probably need dynamic bones with colliders. wonder if I should wait

lime plume
#

i mean, it's prolly gonna be a while. they gotta get the new UI out of beta, then get avi dyn into beta. so if you want em now, might as well use dyn bones

past vortex
#

Whelp I just finished topologizing so. "Soon" might be when I finish Rigging and painting anyway

graceful nest
#

Supposedly after the new ui

echo tartan
#

why are there models that dont follow the armature/hips structure :c

strong shell
#

for you to have fun rigging

echo tartan
#

when you guys make custom face gestures, do you save them as either "smile" or like "peace"?

#

what would be a better concept?

#

first as it would be more dynamic and interchangable with different gestures right? but at the same time it wont be able to be found quickly when you got multiple of those :/

#

nice i just optimized an animationclip from 54 to 8kb 😄

neon finch
#

anyway, I got a question

echo tartan
neon finch
#

I made my avatar primarily for Quest, but I needed to make a PC version; the model itself is the same, all that changes is the shading

#

should I make a different project? Should I duplicate the prefab?

echo tartan
#

depends on you, theres multiple ways

#

i myself use junctions lel

neon finch
#

what's the fastest way?

neon finch
echo tartan
#

so i only have one project, but share assets dynamically

#

so i can also exclude some meshes and materials for quest or use alternate ones for example

#

thats the fastest way from my experience

neon finch
#

I see

#

thanks

echo tartan
#

having two projects that share everything unless some excluded materials/folders

echo tartan
#

or my own symlink maker for my larger main avatar project

#

otherwise converting stuff for the platforms would take a lot of time, the more assets you have

#

in this way the assets themself arent doubled, but only their "cached" versions are

neon finch
#

I see

#

thanks

#

also, where's poiyomi?

#

I can't find it anywhere

echo tartan
#

try their discord idk

#

i dont use pyomi lol, try to avoid custom shaders that arent for local tools as much as possible

#

i use only use mirror shaders or like a wire one for fbt calibration

neon finch
#

for PCVRChat, not quest, of course

echo tartan
#

wat

neon finch
#

I thought poiyomi came with SDK3

echo tartan
#

no

#

it comes with enough models tho

neon finch
#

the only time I've heard someone talk about it, they were talking so naturally about it that I thought it was there by default lmao

#

just not quest-compatible

harsh hull
#

poiyomi is just a really popular shader used on pc

#

theres a ton of stuff you can do with it

#

but no, it is not part of vrchat natively

neon finch

#

for basic effects the included stuff is fine

echo tartan
#

meh safeties and lag r no fun with custom shaders

harsh hull
#

thats what the safety system is for

#

i wish i could set fallback shaders myself tho

echo tartan
#

setting up proper fallback shaders for those takes longer than actually only using those fallbacks

echo tartan
neon finch
echo tartan
#

wait are you not allowed to edit the pyomi shader codes and set a custom fallback

harsh hull
#

prolly...?

#

if i wanted to i could

#

but i am just not bothered to

echo tartan
#

most shader fallbacks i see in public look like crap

#

often worn by non-trusted ppl

#

sometimes even the colorfallback one where ppl become their rank color

harsh hull
#

i wonder if i can use the mobile shaders as fallbacks

echo tartan

most likely

Hello, is the "avatars 3" thing still in beta or something? I've yet to see such an avatar. According to a video from 2020 I should be able to tell if an avatar is 3 by being able to move my arm around via the mouse from the R menu.

moving the arm in desktop with 3.0 is a thing you can set it up for , most dont

i mean i tried to do one but it didn`t work

i didn`t know all models have hand movement

vague raft

it depends on what you mean by Hand movement. I'm thinking of the hand like default/custom finger positions because that's moving just the hand

neon finch
#

ill send u a video in private

#

to see what am i talking about

vague raft
#

Literally describe it. Without looking I'm going to guess you want to say 'controlling the arm like a puppet', mainly because that's the only other 'hand' movement I can think of right now that would require a tutorial.

yeah i meant arm

#

sorry

yeah u got it

controlling the arm like a puppet

I'd ask for help/resources in #avatar-help. Though the people that lurk in here lurk there too you'll have a better chance of a reply. Should be easier to get across what you want if you refer to it as such.

Not really, it isn't specifically for VRChat, vrcarena is the only VRChat specific site of those, and it is only going to be for if you wanted to upload your own. Some creators might have links to worlds that you can use public uploads though

#

There is no catalogue of avatars, you really do have to just go through worlds in VRChat to find avatars

is there a way to have a toggle-able object on my 3.0 avatar without having to make the ON and OFF animations for it? i want it to be able to switch from 1 object to another or just turn off entirely with just the ON animation. I feel like there should be an option/tick box somewhere that tells the animator that IF the toggle variable value isnt 1 anymore, automatically disable it and go back to the original state or whatever the toggle value is set to in the present.

jade grail
# raw geode is there a way to have a toggle-able object on my 3.0 avatar without having to m...

values in your expression menu and such are just that. values. they won't have any real effect until you use them in a condition for a transition. so you kinda need an animation that sets the gameobject to off. if you don't need to have more than one object on at a time I guess you could make an off animation that turns off multiple objects and then you can just turn on a specific object after

#

I don't want to say that you 100% need an off animation as I could be missing something that I don't know about but as far as I know you need to turn off the gameobject somehow and that can only really be achieved through an animation

raw geode
#

hmmmm okay, thanks!

ivew been looking into avatar creation, i wanna make better male avatars, too many E-boys, any videos ya guys would reccomend? ive been dabbling in blender already

#

You'll still need to have the on and off thing going on in a layer, you just wouldn't need to have a button in a menu for it.

Anyone having a hard time with 3.0 I highly suggest looking up tutorials by Sippbox. Quick, simple, to the point.

Does anyone know of a really efficient way to measure your own body for making a humanoid rig

any specific tools or

know of a way that isnt as painstaking

or like the most correct way to get accurate measurements for shoulder bones like how tf would you

barren hemlock
echo tartan
#

so apparently you can "pollute" the standard shaders with specific shader settings vrpill

#

like if you changed a material to use a standard shader and then set an emission etc, it would keep those values and later when you enable custom shaders for the person the material is now considered as a custom / broken variant of its currently selected form

#

# echo goblet hey just a question but is there a way to make your avatar smaller?

i was trying to do that you can make yourself smaller but the viewpoint wont go with you so if youre in vr youre pretty much screwed also you wont get put on the ground if you scale yourself down so the best you can do i think at least from my exp is to make an animation from 100% to 20% depending how small you wanna go and put it on a float parameter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTrXcij3z8M there was this but i dont think they implemented this yet unfortunately

Have you bought it?

you have to pay for it now

it used to be free

agile solar

It was always paid-for...

If you got it for free, you're technically pirating.

no i used to search it in componit and it was there for free

agile solar

Well, now it's a paid-for script.

Yes it’s redistributed despite that not being allowed and even if thousands of people get it through a friend/stranger doesn’t suddenly mean it’s okay to use the redistributed version or even to redistribute it yourself.

karmic valve
#

can liek

vague raft
#

Creators who add things like final ik or dynamic bones into their avatar packages should be shamed for it. How would they like for someone to come along and just give their hard work out to hundreds if not thousands of people for free

Also note that you can build your own 'blank' script in Unity with all the dynamic bone variables for free, totally legal, and VRChat will replace it with the real dynamic bone script in-game

vague raft
neon finch
barren hemlock
vague raft
barren hemlock
#

We're not using Dynamic Bones for unity though, we're using them for VRC

#

There is weight here

vague raft
#

You don’t get the dynamic bone scripts from playing VRChat. Vrchat means nothing here.

barren hemlock
neon finch
#

that feels more like a legal loophole tbh

agile solar
#

This man's doing a crime!

barren hemlock
#

Omg I can't believe I am!

vague raft
# barren hemlock This

Cool, but that’s not what people are doing. If you wish to do this then look into the legality of it but we’re talking about taking a PAID asset from the unity store and giving it out to people for FREE. This is the issue here. I’m just saying it’s wrong for people to redistribute the scripts to others no matter how much it’s been done before.

#

You might not get punished for it but it’s still super shitty nonetheless.

barren hemlock
#

Did you buy it?

neon finch
#

Well what are we arguing?

vague raft
neon finch
#

Are we arguing its not legal or not moral or

#

to dl the dyn bone asset for free

#

and use it for your avatars or whatever other content

vague raft
neon finch
#

yea but its still unclear what exactly both of you are trying to argue for

#

They have to realise it isn't actually legal to pirate dynamic bones right?

#

They can argue it doesn't really matter that people pirate it at this point but they can't argue its legal to do so

#

so it just confuses me

silver adder
#

IIRC, there is a fake DynamicBone script containing only the properties and none of the actual code floating around, with the downside of not being able to preview in the editor. VRC see's it as the real script since it has the same name and loads it as the actual thing in-game.

vague raft
#

It’s super petty but I’m just saying ‘just because it’s been done doesn’t mean it’s suddenly okay to do. Those who redistribute paid assets should be shamed for it’

vague raft
silver adder
#

This argument isn't even going to matter in the end, because DynamicBone is getting replaced in the Avatar Dynamics update.

agile solar
#

Exactly. But the fact remains.

#

Dynamic Bones is a paid-for asset

silver adder
#

Yeah, piracy is bad.

#

It's especially bad for smaller creators, since they need the money more than say, a large studio.

vague raft
barren hemlock
#

VRIK is a paid asset too. Just sayin =P

vague raft
#

Cool, and?

barren hemlock
#

Let me know how well your avatars work in VRChat without VRIK, that's the and 😉

agile solar
#

Bruh.

vague raft
#

I/We don't need to purchase the systems the dev team use to make their game function. We aren't using the scripts for development, they are. Compared to dynamic bones where I/we are using the scripts to develop content in unity, it's pretty self explanatory that you should buy the asset for your personal use even if that personal use is to upload a model to a platform like Vrchat or ChilloutVr.

strong tree
#

quick question: what are some good starting points for damping, elasticity, stiffness, gravity and force for a tail which should fall down?

lament mountain
#

Depends on the volume of the tail, short, medium, long, how thick or thin the overall size is.

#

Force is all you really need for tails, setting it to -0.002 is a generally good start, bigger the volume means less value.

strong tree
#

short, pretty thin

lament mountain
#

Damping - 0.367
Elasticity - 0.021
Stiffness - 0.01
Inert - 0
Radius - (0.0+ The radius balls should not be fully poking out of the mesh)

Force - -0.002

#

Try these settings and lower or increase the value until it's the desired motion.

#

Also depends if you're wanting an energetic tail or a more relaxed tail, but hope this helps!

strong tree
#

thanks, I'm going to test it

#

and yeah, a more relaxed tail

#

it should actually represent a fake tail ;)

You must obtain at least "New User" Trust Rank in our Trust and Safety system in order to upload content. You can get this by just spending a few hours in VRChat, hop some worlds, and make some friends. Give it some time and you'll be able to upload content in no time.

As an aside, you must have a VRChat account to upload content. That means you can't use a Steam account, Oculus account, or Viveport account to upload content like worlds or avatars.

karmic totem

it disables the game going in to AFK mode, which should only happen when you bring up the Steam or Oculus overlay, or take off headset, so I'm not sure what situation you would do those and also want tracking. I don't think you get tracking when you are in the Steam or Oculus overlay regardless

Because I want to do « if value of Mask equal 0 use face viseme, else use mask viseme »

vague raft
#

Viseme values are set internally when you speak. You just need to check for certain values to play certain animations

So as I understand, the values of visemes change automatically

I’m a beginner in Unity, so it might be hard for me

topaz moss

Can anyone tell me what the "blindness" shader I've seen on some avatars is?

Logically, blindness is a reduced visibility length of the eyes (in the darkness), so it might be a reproduction of this effect for this shader

It's a shader that blocks out everything except what's in the radius of your hands.

Other than make some people crash when uploading or cause the upload to take a ridiculous amount of time for some others? It uploads a unitypackage to the server along side your avatar that can be recovered by the person who uploaded the avatar supposedly, I have never had future proof on so I have never tested it

sullen zenith
#

Starting to explore the entire avatar creation thing and was just wondering here. Would it theoretically be possible to implement a teleportation function within the avatar? Like, say, you're looking at a certain spot, and the moment you trigger a certain key you teleport to that spot

past rover
#

Possibly if you animate and push a collider into yourself that would fling you to that location, but it probably would be pretty jank and be a nightmare to set up.

#

Teleporting other users would be easy though, since you could just use a chair component and put the exit point anywhere else. You can't use a chair on your own avatar so that's why it won't work for yourself.

sullen zenith
#

So essentially I'd have to search for a workaround, huh. I can see why it's not a thing though. Being able to teleport yourself in some game worlds could very well be considered cheating

past rover
#

When OSC support for avatars comes out, if you're able to interface the OVR advanced settings playspacemover with av3 then you could set up a macro to offset your playspace to teleport

sullen zenith

Hopefully it does by the time I get to play around with this idea. I'll look into it, thanks

I mean you could hide it with baggier clothes

#

Like I slapped a big comfy sweatshirt on a model once and instantly all proportion problems were solved lmao

#

maybe thatll have to be last resort

#

creating new cloth is pain

lilac kite
#

Yea

#

I mean you could use the circle button thing I forgot the name of at the top of the screen in blender

#

That might help make things smoother with editing if you aren’t using it already

#

But idunno

#

Modelings wack

outer leaf
#

it really is

toxic forge
#

Basically T pose the shoulders into the position you want them to rest at. (Then follow with the arms ofc) Then they will look normal when you wear it

#

Even if the bone position looks a bit weird in blender at first

neon finch
#

Does Unity know how to differentiate between T and A poses w humanoid rigs?

#

Does it assume you are going for a T pose and T pose only?

toxic forge
#

Yeah it puts your character in T pose in the humanoid. But sometimes your shoulders need to go farther up than that in order to look straight which is where the problem arises, put in T in blender with how you want your shoulders to rest

outer leaf
#

my avatar is in a t pose

toxic forge
outer leaf
#

i found out that just putting the viewpoint lower quickly made the arms not bend so much, so i didnt have to do work on broadening the shoulders, thankfully

toxic forge
#

Ohhh nice nice

outer leaf
#

and then i also found out you cant have the arms be straight all the time

#

so i just... accepted it

#

id rather put my energy into polishing other parts

The humanoid is so janky, so it eventually is a game of diminishing returns.

i swear the unity version had to be 2019.4.30f1 not 31f1

agile solar
#

Latest supported version is 31f1.

dull wharf
#

i swear it was 30f1

#

because it said that on the website????

agile solar
#

30 and 31 are both supported, methinks.

god why are so many avatars either "man" or "woman" bruh

thats what i learned in primary school??

twilit talon

is your schooling limited to elementary school

there are more than 2 genders

i thought hate speech wasn't allowed here 🤔

barren hemlock

I never said anything about hate

solar abyss
#

There are primarily 2 sexes
XX (bio female) XY (bio male)
(Others excist but XXY or XYY is way less common)

However gender is what you identify as and how you see yourself

# twilit talon god why are so many avatars either "man" or "woman" bruh

What do you mean? I've seen robots, aliens, cartoon characters, I've even seen a house.

I'm pretty sure avatars aren't limited to "man" or "woman".

Maybe its an option in the editor but that's just simplified terms to determine if you want your character to be more masculine or more feminine.

the humanoid ones

merry hemlock
# twilit talon the humanoid ones

I think the last paragraph applies there. Just simplified terms, something that everyone can understand at a glance definitely adjustable and editable to your heart's desire.

twilit talon
#

i guess i just hate being gendered based on my voice in vrchat 😩

#

my pronouns are in my profile but ppl don't really check those

crystal nimbus
#

hey I got one more for you guys, when I publish my avi it says "unity application is running but the part where you edit its name and publish it does not show up I tried switching the tabs turning on multiples cameras but every time i try it does not pop up and i tried hitting play but it just closes it back to the publish screen where it shows my like stats for the avi like its polys and bones and stuff

toxic forge
#

Also femboy avatars and trans avatars are everywhere

twilit talon
#

yeah my friend helped me find some

Even if i don’t speak people still say what they think my gender is, my voice just doesn’t match who i am

stuck gust
#

yeah its dumb n annoying

#

i was thinking of paying for voicemod cause one of the voice filters actually makes me pretty happy

subtle mesa
#

I’m going to try training my voice to sound feminine but I’m probably going to get one as well

stuck gust
#

nice to know i am not the only one plagued by such thoughts

especially within the context of this game

im glad im not the only one in here feelin that way

well there is a a option in sdk3 that you can have multiple prone/laying down animations..
I just dunno how to do it

neon finch
#

You would probably have to customize the Locomotion Controller

tawny bobcat

but how?

#

I tried searching for tutorials

neon finch

That- I do not really know how to do but someone else probably does

hi

oak phoenix

😄

#

Are there any characters you are specifically looking for?

agile solar
#

Wrong channel.

#

Also, you don't trade avatars.

oak phoenix
#

You do.

#

If someone wants your avatar, and you want theirs, it's a quid-pro-quo. It's only resolvable by a trade.

agile solar
#

I mean, I guess? But still, weird practice.

#

That's like trading dupe Pokemon cards.

Hey all, I want to get into making Avatars on VRC. Any recommendations where I start, or your favorite videos to watch on how to learn?

Thank you, currently downloading unity hub

Hey, I don't know really anything about avatar creation but I was wondering if its possible to create an avatar with a mute keyboard thats not attached to the avatar itself? Like all the keyboards ive seen have been attached to one arm so you have to just hold your arm still and type with the other hand. Im not sure of current limitations, can you have things that are "part" of an avatar that aren't actually connected to an avatar's movement?

agile solar

First, you would import a weapon model.

ok so maybe not the right channel but if i forgot my unity SDK login is there any way to get that back from somewhere or do i just keep guessing

toxic forge
#

If you mean your unity sign in, we can't help out.

thick sleet
#

The VRC SDK login

#

I've tried copy pasting my username and ik all my passwords, none have worked so far so prob just messing something up, but one of them should have signed me in

neon finch
#

and then in password box yknow try your vrchat passwords

thick sleet

I've tried my email

pearl dirge

is there any way i can fix my vrcsdk from saying i have the standard shader on my avatar (im trying to make it quest compatible) but when i look at the shaders everything but the prefab has quest compatible materials

#

and im sorry if this is the wrong channel i just wanted to finally upload my first quest avatar

Yo

#

how do we know if a unit asset store asset is okay to use in game

neon finch

Id email the devoloper of the asset about that specifically to make sure its gud with VRChat

#

Okay so I’ll just check for scripts

#

Thanks

#

I’ll do this too

what's the reason why a lot of creators avoid having write defaults on when it comes to facial anims?

#

i get the face-blurring-together bug like 100% of the time so i always have it on, but i see a lot of creators advising against it

merry swan
#

recommended off, nothing stopping you from using on tho

bold jewel
#

but why

fallow sequoia
#

Its a matter of keeping track of animation effects. Once you turn on WD anywhere, you need to keep track that these animations may write to multiple values that are not in the animation itself. When blended with other animations and layers it can get pretty confusing to understand what default values are being written.

Would I need to put my model in the left leg catagory or like a very specific part that can’t expand further

#

not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'm wondering if there's a list of any commonly used packages for avatar creation that are from the Unity Asset Store
I figure they might be worth picking up if they're included in the 50% off sale currently going on but I'm very new to this and have no idea what I'm looking for

azure scaffold
#

what kind of avatars do you want to create?

civic locust
#

I'm not sure exactly xd

eager horizon
#

The dynamic bones plugin

#

Almost all PC avatars use it

crisp turret
#

does texture crunching increase loading weight or GPU use ingame?

merry swan
#

Just download size far as i know, still gonna use the same amount of vram

crisp turret
#

so a unity "engineer" told me if i crunch my avatar's texture, itll make the avatar download size smaller but heavier use of CPU GPU

#

not sure if thats correct

jade grail
crisp turret
torn locust
#

Crunch reduces the file size at a trade off for CPU overhead as it has to unpack said image once it's loaded into memory and then it uses more memory as it sits unpacked in GPU memory

#

The tradeoff is minor, when talking about a single image, or a few images, it will be negligible

#

Crunch can save a lot in terms of File download size so it's ideal to use it when possible

#

What he told you is correct

jade grail
torn locust
#

Correct, the memory usage of the image when unpacked into VRAM is the same post crunch for the most part and the CPU overhead is only when unpacking said image

crisp turret
#

the avatar has only 1 atlased texture at 2048

#

and he toldme im heavy and stupid to crunch my texture

torn locust
#

lmfao

#

He's kinda gaslighting u then

jade grail
#

Lmao

crisp turret
#

instead of arguing, i never heard crunched texture being cpu exoensive so i asked here

torn locust
#

He's not wrong, there is extra overhead, but in your case, and in most cases, the trade off is negligible/minor

jade grail
#

It’s just a single texture and at 2048? I don’t really see an issue to crunching the texture lol

crisp turret
#

okay thanks

#

ts a quest 11k poly avatar with 1 mesh and 1 standard shader material, mobile wtandard at quest

#

t me surprised being called out heavy i thought i was missing smth

glad karma
#

Uwu

barren hemlock
crisp turret
#

The Unity engineer dude have read these replies in this chat as hes in the server and told me these feedbacks arent doing me good because the VRChat loadbundle would unpack the texture one by one making the loading of the avatar longer and heavy, but not because the CPU/GPU expensive, but VRChat system just freezes the game to unpack them and continues after the crunched textures loaded. And he said even for a 1material 1 2048 texture avatar like mine. I am conflicted if hes just gaslighting me or he's telling factual info

#

@torn locust What do u think? and sorry to drag u back
I've also talked to a reliable person which is close with the core members of vrchat team , his name is kingtodd, and he also told me the same thing as you did

torn locust
#

Gaslighting u. Every single avatar I've ever uploaded uses crunch and my world uses crunch for every single texture. You'd have to have a shit fuck ton of textures to have a hitch like that and typically when there's a hitch loading an avatar, it's because of shaders.

You can literally test this yourself by uploading it with a crunch texture and uploading it without and then clearing your cache and loading each. I can wager they would load at virtually the same amount of time. A single crunch texture ain't shit. He's technically not wrong, but in order to have the issues he's claiming, you'd need a lot more textures, or much larger (like 4k, 8k) textures, or multiple of those. You're not doing any so crunching your single texture should typically result in faster download times.

Besides, even if there was a hypothetical hitch on load because of a crunch texture, I'd wager most would accept the trade off for longer download times. But this isn't the case or my avatars and worlds would be virtually unusable.

crisp turret
barren hemlock
#

Nope. VRC doesn't allow values over 100

#

You'd have to create a duplicate shape in blender and then you can set both to 100 at the same time

harsh hull
#

just change the value above 100 manually in the number box while animating

#

works in editor so i dont see why it wouldnt work in vrchat
