Hey guys I need some help

#

I’ve got my avatar on quest, but I can’t seem to figure out how to upload it to pc as well. The build button says “ build and publish for unsupported” and when I click it everything looks like it uploaded for pc. But it still hasn’t

Quick question, is the quest limit still at 10mb?

given how simple and short the tutorial video is, i would assume that uploading an avatar to vrchat would be easy, it is not

i am struggling

It takes a bit, but at some point it just kinda clicks.

#

can anyone upload an avi for me? its private but i have the file and stuff i just dont know how to put it on quest/access it

you need to get the android build settings first though

yeah thats what i did but i ended up screwing up everything somehow and i dont have much time to work on it atm i spent all day on it and i really dont have the energy to start over

a blueprint error was the main thing i think

Hello. Is there any actual post or something that explains why ''Write Defaults should be off, or on if you must, but never mixed.''
All I can find is others saying, do this or that, without explaining the reason exactly. ''It can break'' isn't really a valid argument, because what break, and what if I mix write defaults and nothing breaks?

I wanna buy an avi from the creator called stupidbaby but none of her avis state specifically if they’re quest compatible???

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5FfJ4btBN8 If you are looking to make your own bases and meshes, I’ve found this helpful. It is a video series that, at least starting out, focuses on making the mesh itself. The primary goal is creating avatars for use by Vtubers, though VRChat is mentioned as a potential use case. I don’t think it covers VRChat specific things, like working with the .fbx in unity.

i know what base i want and i can get it

people say i need blender to do that right

is dynamic bones a need

hasty ocean

Iirc avatars don’t need to have physbones or dynamic bones to function, though they are super useful for dynamic stuff like hair that reacts to things like movement.

hello, how can I turn a Poiyomi Toon shader into a mobile one so I can run it on quest?

change material to mobile, poi cannot be used on quest

yeah but the materials turn to white

vertex colors , likely

ok I did it

lmao

how can I get an invis material?

just completely transparent

of course that works

Do physbones work on quest?

like can I put them on my quest fallback avatar?

I think so, but you can’t have many

yeah and one material if possible

the auto atlas tool in CATS is pretty ass, leaves ton of wasted UV space

use the Bake tool in CATS instead

properly re-packs the UV's, and bakes every PBR material down to 1

#

disregarding quest compatibility would it be better to use dynamic bones over physbones?

Not really since by default everyone's game is set to convert the Dynamic Bone scripts to Physbones, and it's not always very accurate.

Hi, I'm new here? Anyone can tell me how many time I need to be into vrchat to be able to upload my own avatar? Thanks

?upload

dusk coralBOT
#

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.

#

@misty fox

#

It's not purely based on time

misty fox
hasty ocean
# misty fox just someone told me about 15 -30 h 😅

It's some combination of friends, worlds visited, and playtime (no hard info). Most of the time, actively playing in public worlds, for that much time will get you to New User so you can upload. Assuming you're not getting kicked, muted, blocked etc. Afk doesn't really count.

No.

it works the same as posting an image hosted on something like imgur somewhere, you remove it from imgur, it disappears from anywhere using that link

I'm so sad. I am trying to learn how to make avatars, I notice most avatars are girls/feminine. I am wanting to make more male/masculine avatars but not like the super built 6 pack kind, but its so hard to find clothes for male avatars

Yup the struggle is real for male avatars

#

if i want to change/add physbones do i do that in blender or unity?

karmic totem
#

Physbones are Unity

#

it's part of the SDK

#

Are they a thing we have to add or can we do all of the mesh/rigging in blender then convert certain bones to physbones in unity

#

i think this is the place for this, is there anyway to scale an avatar? as in shrink or make them bigger? because ive got an avatar thats too big, its impractical for everything due to size, so im asking if theres a way to scale it

eternal edge
#

@full owl yes: open the avatar in unity, select the root node, and scale it to eg 0.6 to make it smaller

full owl
#

i meant in game, is there a way to do it ingame?

Only problem, you can't move the view point

could someone help me on how to open photoshop files for a model in order to retexture it? since i'm not sure where to look for it

hasty ocean
#

Photoshop is the obvious fix. But PSD files are semi standard.
I think Kirta and paint dot net, both support that format and are both free.

worn burrow
#

can confirm for krita

river nacelle
#

is there a way to keep the view point attached to the head when doing an animation whether in vr or desktop instead of just watching it happen from a still position?

#

so say it does a dance the view point would turn/bob/move around with the animation instead of looking forward where you have been

I'm trying to look for a shader that only shows in mirrors.
I'm also looking for a shader that brakes the mirrors. (make it look like broken glass)
do you know where i can find theses

the 2nd one seems like more of a thing that'd get you kicked or blocked honestly

WELP. Time to learn how to actually configure an avatar. 😩 this is gonna take awhile.

sacred dune
#

So I am attempting contacts, and do I need to put a contact for each finger? or if i am reading this right, I just list each finger in the reciever? (Cuase its global?)

hasty ocean
#

the avatar descriptor has some built in contacts, if you want to activate a receiver with them, you can set the flags from vary specific all the way to All

sacred dune
hasty ocean
#

That will use any of the ones that are on the right hand or left hand.

anyone have suggestions for a good free alternative to poiyomi pro?

poiyomi toon

neon finch
#

toon can't do some of the better looking stuff like skin tho right??

#

I didn't wanna do toon shading

#

pro has all that

karmic totem
#

there should be a breakdown somewhere about what it's missing from pro

rose storm
#

not sure where to ask so i guess i'll ask here. does anyone know any good sources of weird, low poly, geometric, or abstract avatars or models that can be used as avatars? preferably for free or very low price. i haven't found many that i like on booth or gumroad.

supple zephyr
#

Anyone know roughly how long it takes for an Avatar uploaded to show up in VRChat?

#

I updated mine with Physbones (Finally) only to find in game no change. So I did some trickery and uploaded it as a new avatar, only to find like, 20 minutes later, it's still not showing up

#

(It DOES show in the content manager in Unity)

#

I assume there is just a wait time as the servers figure stuff out

night bobcat
#

theres no wait time, it should just show up when its done, unless they changed something i had a similer thing happen to me an avi wont update to new changes

supple zephyr
#

It showed up after a few minutes, so I guess it was slow. Can't interact with anything though, that's going to be some troubleshooting!

night bobcat
#

think vrc just being funky, i had to wait 50 mins for an avi to be uploaded, the issue started a day ago, usually it takes less than a min

hasty ocean
#

Make sure your on exactly 2019.4.31f1 because being on a minor patch out will let you uploade but it wont show up.

rose storm
#

if its the former then it could be pc you disabled "allow grabbing" or didnt set a collider radius

any ideas how I can fix the cats material combiner not adding my face and hair textures into the atlas?

Im not sure if this is the right channel, but im trying to add dynamic bones to my vroid studio avatar imported in Unity. Ive followed all the tutorials and the only thing im having issues is, is with the dynamic bones. No matter what I do the hair is stiff. Idk what im doing wrong.

#

now that ive figured out how cool OSC can be, what stops someone from having super cheat full body tracking with OSC?

#

is it even possible?

#

like i know face tracking and finger tracking is possible but idk about the actual body or where to even start figuring that out

hasty ocean
acoustic torrent
#

maybe i should make one making it track balls on my body like a motion tracking suit because they way they did it in that video uses 2 headsets

#

I know I was working on a phone app version of this kinda thing, using a camera and pose estimation instead of a quest 1. Lol

#

anyone know where i can find a GLaDOS avatar from portal 2? i cant find one and i wanna troll proplr in places like Black Cat

hasty ocean
marble glade
#

oh okay

acoustic torrent
#

I might just make my own, rather than using external accelerometers I might use the ball method, what I mean is that a high quality camera tracks ping-pong balls strapped to my body at key points

marble glade
#

imma just ctrl c ctrl z my question

acoustic torrent
#

Accuracy isn’t really a requirement, just something that doesn’t cost $200 you know?

#

Only problem I can see you running into is latency, with a whole bunch of information I got it might take time before it actually loads for OSC

hasty ocean
#

That's all open source so a good start

acoustic torrent
#

PS?

hasty ocean
#

Yeah, it's a think that uses gyro and ping pong balls or ps move controllers to do ftb in steam vr

acoustic torrent
#

Oh this is it gonna be a fun rabbit hole

#

I’ll also have a check on how to move the body parts with OSC, as I have yet to dig too deep into that

hasty ocean
acoustic torrent
#

Thank goodness I am at 1028P webcam with high frame rates

#

Hmm that sounds like a good idea

#

Good thing I won’t be jumping in VR as that sounds like it would be a nightmare to figure out how to make that work

hasty ocean
#

Osc I really underrated. It lets code almost anything you can think of into the game. Combine it with avatar dynamics and it's insane.

#

I barely even knew it existed, I’ve seen in my menu many times and it caused a few issues before but I’ve never knew it could be used for this, but now that I know I don’t wanna go back

#

Oh that’s a channel? Didn’t know that was place

#

And yeah I was looking through the documentation, surprised no one else has done this yet

#

Or if they have they didn’t publicize very much

#

Yee, I saw the release and was like "huh what is that" and the more or read the docs page I was like "holy heck that's insane"

I didn’t think it was possible… but just watched a video where someone showcased their avatar using contacts to make a object track and follow another avatars head as if it’s constrained to it after it was touched.
As far as I knew, it was impossible to track another players data.

Any unity wizards out there who know how this is accomplished?

How does everyone get the textures for their models? Like I want to edit my existing riolu model to look as different from the original imported pokemon Y model as possible internally maybe try adding separate eye vasemes and making the mouth look more organic??

It's the model in my pfp btw

primal geyser
#

Hullo. I just recently got into modelling and wanted to know; is it easier to sculpt an avatar or to build it from scratch? I've seen tutorials that do both but I wanted some input.

hasty ocean
#

kinda depends on your work flow and what you want it to look like.
Pure modeling is nice for lower poly art style, but sculpt is good for more organic shapes.
Modeling can take a lot of time if its not looking 100% right, where sculpt takes a long time to retopo.

primal geyser
#

oh ok. I haven't really tried sculpting yet but i will. thank you ^^

Where can I find good basemodels for bodies / heads? Any recommendations?

booth/gumroad, stay away from deviantart

#

probably sketchfab too but youll have to double check licenses either way

mint scaffold
#

Currently on gumbroad, searched up "basemodel" and "base model" but I only got like. 4 results

#

I dont do commissions and I am not planning to make any money. so I doubt most licenses will get in the way

worn burrow
#

probably need to be more vague by searching "base" only but uh

#

usually i find assets i like through looking at avatars for sale because a majority of them include the sources in the description

mint scaffold
#

Smart! Didn't think of that

#

I only need a head anyways, and probably a body just to use as a sculpting reference. I am planning to use a halo 5 techsuit as a body.

question: some avatars have dance emotes where instead of the avatar itself dancing it creates a copy that does the emote, while you can still walk around freely (or become invisible). How is this done? Is there a prefab or a trick to it?
I tried placing a copy of my avatar inside my avatar, with world constraints, and a custom animation controller on it with the dance emotes, but it didn't do anything (the copy just stood in a bicycle pose)

#

or does it require multiple copies, each with just one single animation/controller for every dance?

#

idk if this is the right place to ask or not but can anyone clarify how u buy avatars on gumroad?? like im confused by the “name a fair price” thing - am i supposed to put in 25 if it says “$25+” or am i supposed to do more ?

hasty hemlock
#

basically you can put in the 25 but if you feel like it you can pay more

dusky tusk
#

ooh ok!! and it’s not rude/disrespectful to pay the listed 25?

hasty hemlock

yeah that would be okay

what aspect where you having trouble with

like the process still involves uploading using Unity

radiant tapir

Unity part was not hard but it have its ups and downs haha hope that part is a bit better

hasty hemlock

like when was the last time you tried Avatar making

#

like was it SDK 2 or 3

radiant tapir
#

(2) 3 was in testing i think at that time

hasty hemlock

then yeah it would be different because its SDK 3

#

but you still would need to be setting up the humanoid Armature and the the mouse shapes and the view position

I need someone to help me help my self on a problem here with unity and new user issues...
I have a model that I made some .anim files using a dummy model to pass on to the actual model (avoiding an old bug) But now, when I go back to try and edit the.anim file, the actual model im working does not have the *.anim listed in It only has two items. I'm not sure how to describe this problem and im hoping someone can give me some keywords on what to search for. I have made 7 animations and the model only lists the two that I made with the model it self and not the dummy file.

The preview button is grayed out on the animations I have made with dummy file.

#

I guess my question is how do you tell unity (or where to look) to use smile.anim file made on X model to be used on Y model? When you click on Y model there is no smile.anim listed to edit or adjust.

Quick Q:
Can you upload private custom avatars as visitor
Or do I have to wait for them to fix oculus linking

red path
#

?upload

#

Oh it's not that command?🤔

#

But nope, you can only upload avatars with a VRChat account that is at least New User rank.

dusk coralBOT
#

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.

Whats the best way to set up expressions? I currently have it set to simple gestures with my left hand (point/openhand/thumbs up/etc..) though this makes me accidently emote alot of the time. If I set it to activate in a menu, I won't be able to use expressions on the spot.. Is there a good middle ground?

does 3.0 support chair on avatar with custom animation?

graceful pine
# fair sable Whats the best way to set up expressions? I currently have it set to simple gest...

I think the middle ground would be,
choose a few expressions that you'd prefer that it could be shown in real time, and put it into some "hard to accidentally happen" gesture for your controller.
For example, if you're using quest 2, put those into Fist or Rock n' Roll gesture
So you can use them on the go
And put the expressions that don't really require real time interaction in expression menu

Or maybe try it 2.0 way, everything into gesture, no expression in menu at all. And try your best not to activate them accidentally lol

Hey. Got a general query about avatar audio.
I'm working on an avatar with lots of short sound effects triggered by stuff like grabs and contact dynamics. (Inventory rustles, clicks, whacks, etc)
I'm wondering if anyone here is familiar with the limits on audio sources, such as a max quantity, as well as any other best practices or common pitfalls.

#

Perhaps how best to enable them. (Currently animating the audio source component itself)
Any insights at all might be helpful. Thanks.

When you're uploading the Avatar, click 'Switch Build to Android'.
You may have to make some changes, like shaders, removing props, etc

Here's a good tutorial. Note, it does have a tool in it that costs money, but I personally recommend it and it saves a lot of time compared to making all the needed changes in Blender/Unity
https://youtu.be/lefDSXYFiRs?t=1m30s

If you don't wanna spend anything, Sippbox has a good tutorial. https://youtu.be/8MkgXcidxg4

For further help I suggest going to #avatar-quest

how to i make peoples avatars load automatically so i dont have to turn them on

If you are using Quest, you cannot enable loading of all avatars, only those that are up to Poor Ranking

#

unfortunately a lot of people seem to not care and just use very poor ranked avatars.

neon finch

aw

#

that sucks

#

its so annoying to just change all of the avatars

#

they should make a update on that

karmic totem
#

VRChat won't ever allow Very Poor ranked avatars to be loaded automatically, that would very quickly cause the game or headset to crash in a public instance. People need to care more about their avatars and consider performance instead of using very poor ranked PC avatars on the quest.

ive recently been in a game world with my friends and one of them had an avatar, that had an inbuilt sword that worked inside the game. the avatar wasnt made by the world creators. does anyone have an idea on why that is. and if so, could send me some resources on how to do that.

vague raft
#

What world, what avatar. There's no 1 way to do a specific thing so knowing the sources will help people connect the information

loud mist
#

the world was called udon zombie ai . its description already says that avatar weapons may work, but not the ones on mine. what the specific avatar was my friend had, i dont know

brave wyvern
#

I need some good as avatars

#

Anyone have any?

hasty ocean
#

Booth and sketchfab are good places to look

brave wyvern
#

Preferably some with phsybones?

bronze tiger
#

some of my avatars have a thing in their expression menu where theres like folders in them, for example itll have several weapons, and i can choose one to hold. how do i do that?

Anybody got a demon slayer model link??

#

since it got swallowed up in the other channel, does anyone have resources on how to make avatar guns/ shooting animations with triggers? only thing i could find online was some way outdated sdk 2 stuff or prefabs, but i want to make it custom but kinda dont know how to approach that

tranquil jay

tranquil jay
#

im not sure where to start, never played with any of that stuff 😅

loud mist
#

what im looking for is more like how to toggle it with pressing down the trigger of my controller and how to have it not dissapear imediately. i want it to stay in the world till the particle system itself ends and not till i stop pressing that trigger.

late tartan
brittle roost
#

Just toggle the particle emission on and off rather than the object

#

Disabling the object kills all of the currently active particles whereas disabling emission just stops spawning them

late tartan
brittle roost
#

IMO without scripting the best way to do a burst outside of a sub-emitter is to use a really high spawn rate and set the max particles to what you want for the burst

does anyone have a tutorial on how to make there avatars for vr

loud cape
neon finch
#

ok i am a noobie and i need some help on making avatars

#

and what apps do i use for them

balmy stag
#

Where do i get the sdk3

tranquil jay
#

literally the vrchat website

gaunt garnet
#

From what I understand, you use blender to create a rigged and textured mesh (as .FBX), then Unity (version 2019.4.31f1) with the VRChat SDK (downloadable from site) to add things like physbones, avatar contacts, animations, and other setup stuff I don’t know.

tranquil jay
#

is there a way to rig an animal model so that it walks on all fours?

gaunt garnet
#

Probably, though I have no idea how

solar sedge
#

does anyone have a suggestion on how to make custom spawning animation

#

there's like
one tutorial
and it seems a bit outdated

#

I know exactly what I want to do, it's just that I don't know how to execute something like this mainly because it requires me to unpack a character prefab so I could potentially try to keyframe the character to an animation

#

I'm just not sure if unpacking the prefab won't break other animations

solemn ice
solar sedge
#

Okay, thanks

solemn ice
#

Have you restarted unity after imported sdk?

floral rock
#

If I set a tag of a gameobject in unity editor of "EditorOnly" but within the avatar itself, does that object still get uploaded? I assume any of its children wouldn't upload either

solemn ice
#

Open menu Window > Package Manager. Then find and install a package called Mathematics

solar sedge
#

I suppose I'm just not doing it right
I just can't seem to figure out how to give my character an animation when they spawn in like landing

#

cause I can't just put them in action animation from what I'm guessing

#

this is starting to look like a mess

toxic sierra
#

Question. How much is a fair price for a "custom" avatar that uses premade assets?

agile solar
#

Depends on the price of the premade assets, if they're distributable, and the skill of the creator.

toxic sierra
#

It is far from great or detailed.

#

This is an avatar that was made for a friend, and they charged $300

#

Just questioning if this is actually average

worn burrow
#

???300???

#

go check if some of the assets are on jinxxy

#

if they bought it from fivver it was probably made with free+extremely cheap assets

toxic sierra
#

It's legit the whole avatar. But just recolored/retextured.

#

And it was from someone we know.

#

I'm pissed.

worn burrow
#

kind of curious to see what it was, but hopefully you guys solve that or whatever

#

sounds uh.. strange

toxic sierra
#

The buyer paid for all of the assets.

#

"Whatever I wanted it to within reason technically
I provided the base assets
He made the textures and crystal protrusions
As well as the ears
Everything else he just shaped to fit and such
All the clothing was assets I bought and supplied"

limber halo
#

i bought dynamic bones but its not letting upload it onto unity says i dont have any assets anyone can help?>

worn burrow
#

you don't need to buy dynamic bones

vague raft
#

You do need to buy Dynamic Bones, but you don't need to use Dynamic bones

worn burrow
#

lol

vague raft
#

in fact anything being developed should be using Phys Bones

worn burrow
#

im not implicating pirating or whatever if thats what you're thinking kek

#

obviously you need to buy it but physbones are free

toxic sierra
#

How do you go directly to physbones then? I've not seen a way to do it

vague raft
toxic sierra
vague raft
#

In the event a model has not been updated to use Phys you can convert it using a tool that's provided in the sdk

toxic sierra
#

Okay, yeah, that's what I was wondering XD

hearty lily
#

is the eye level for the crouch and prone animations able to be changed cuz mine is too low and below the head

rigid comet
#

Gamers, anyone know of a bow/arrow prefab using dynamic PHYS bones that is quest compatible?

vague raft
rigid comet
vague raft
#

Dynamic Bones

#

Quest

rigid comet
#

Ah duh

#

Phys bones

#

Habit

vague raft
#

Though it is a good point. Maybe I should swap my bow asset to use Phys rather than a Springjoint

rigid comet
#

Yeah, I've been thinking about it and it should be possible

#

Some stretchy bones, some succ colliders

#

I just aint smart enough to figure it out lol

vague raft
#

Getting the string to look right and the Arms to bend though uses constraints alongside weightpainting so idk. Quest might not work for the bow I made

rigid comet
#

Eh it doesn't have to be perfect... A custom hinge curve to shape the final bend should be good enough for questies not to be left out

static hill
#

does anyone know why the avatar file size gets bigger as I decrease the resolution of textures? 🤔

mild pollen
#

Is anyone else having troubles uploading avatars

static pond
#

How do you update a really old SDK version to the new one without stuff breaking

#

Importing over the old SDK didn't work

#

Might have to update several versions individually I guess until the new one

tranquil jay
#

thats the neat part, you dont

How about I just uninstall it since I don't plan to use it

burnt raven
#

or that

static pond
#

Wait that fixed it

#

wow

#

I've had so many of these dumb moments recently

solemn ice
#

I don't use any tools

I did install pumpkin

vrpill

static pond
#

Installing and Using are two different things

#

while back friend told me it'd help with another issue I was having (it didn't, go figure) and never touched it since, nor did I bother to uninstall it since I didn't think it would cause an issue like this

#

Should I go back and add "recently" to the end of the message?

cinder urchin
#

Is 30MB for a PC Avatar to much? and is a "Medium" rank really still to high?
because most players doesn't see me and tell me I am a gray robot / probably performance blocked!

silver adder
#

Medium rank avatars can't be perf-blocked, so it must be something else.

cinder urchin
#

It is horrible hard to optimize a avatar without losing all it's cool features. I also already put every texture that doesn't need different shader settings, into the same material, to make sure, it is optimized as good as possible, without loosing quality.

cinder urchin
karmic totem
#

There are several grey robots

cinder urchin
#

IDK, they just tells me, that I am a gray robot.

silver adder
#

Those are probably Quest players telling you that if your avatar doesn't have a Quest version uploaded.

cinder urchin
#

no idea how to optimize and fix that, without lossing cool features.

#

and why can Quest use avatars with 986.000 polygons ?

#

and very poor

karmic totem
cinder urchin
#

I also made a quest version of it wiht 9999 poligons

#

into the same avatar, it is a different model of mines, but still better than a gray robot.

silver adder
#

Must be download size then, only other grey robot scenario. Those people must have their download size set extremely low.

cinder urchin
#

my PC version have 50k poligons

#

because there are also a lot of gameobjects inside of it, like weapons and tools....

silver adder
#

You can bring the download size down by enabling crunch compression on your textures.

#

It'll reduce their quality a little bit, probably not enough to notice unless someone is pixel-peeping though.

cinder urchin
silver adder
#

Then idk.

cinder urchin
#

I also have a thrusted user rank, in case it is a safty problem, because for me it is looking completly normal

silver adder
#

There ARE people that play on safety settings that block all but their friends avatars. But that's something you have to choose.

noble bluff
#

So I'm making another Kon avatar. But I have no ideas what my Kon should cosplay as. So why not ask here right?. Anyone have any ideas. Any character from any video game, anime, and such like that (Within reason) are fair game.

gritty hazel
#

is there any better shaders than the standard unity's for pbr materials?

neon finch
#

Yo where can I find an thigh model? I'm too lazy to make my own

vague raft
#

People in publics saying you're a grey robot whilst wearing a 110MB, 700MB Vram, 300k poly model.

cinder urchin
#

but why does avatars have always so many poligons? I mean normal peoples have avatars with 1mio poligons

vague raft
#

Because it takes effort, skill and hard work to make things look good with less polygons

#

and a lot of people won't invest 1/3 of those

#

Someone will make a 50k chain necklace and sell it for a couple bucks. Consumer buys it, drops it on the model in unity and uploads it

cinder urchin
rigid comet
#

He just explained why

#

Lazy people just slap assets onto a model

#

Call it a day

vague raft
#

yes but it takes work to get there. Time and effort people won't invest because they play vrchat with 40fps so it's not their problem

#

"Just buy a better pc"

cinder urchin
#

if I would make a showcase with 5 avatars, 4 are with 100k poli and 1 with 1mio poli, would you find the 1mio version?

rigid comet
#

I'd find it and hide it

#

Lmao

vague raft
#

depends if the 1 million poly model has 10 outfits you can toggle between and the others have 1

rigid comet
#

Most of these polygons are in jewelery made for renders that are just glued onto the characters without any optimization

#

So the numbers balloon

cinder urchin
#

I will tell you, you will not see any difference, without tools that tell you the poli count or a wiregrid view...

rigid comet
#

I dunno why youre trying to convince us

#

Im pretty sure neither 3 of us make avatars like that 😂

cinder urchin
#

I am always asking this peoples and they always tell me, that they did not made the avatar, instead they just uploaded it.

vague raft
#

either way, the performance blocked grey robot says Performance on it I'm pretty sure. Error looks like it has construction tape on it and not platform compatible used to be a robot with the avatar image on the chest.

#

Just a plain grey robot is something else

rigid comet
#

So they just upload and its all good as long as it works for them

#

Not like vrchat imposes any minimum performance regulations

vague raft
#

yeah >90% of people are just buying and/or downloading a ready made model. They couldn't tell you what a polygon is for $10,000

rigid comet
rigid comet
vague raft
#

good

cinder urchin
rigid comet
#

I think download limits are robots too, very poor/poor perf is auto hidden on the quest & is fallback too

#

What's it again

cinder urchin
rigid comet
#

30MB medium performance?

#

Mmm

cinder urchin
#

and thrusted user rank

rigid comet
#

thrusted lol

cinder urchin
#

in case of, that some peoples s till use the default safty

vague raft
#

Thrust rank vrcXiexeBlush

#

lewd

rigid comet
#

😳

cinder urchin
#

Thrusted have everything shown, if the peoples don't use custom safty

rigid comet
#

Well, most people are gonna have shaders and sounds blocked for everyone

#

But the average safety sure had avatars shown for most ranks

cinder urchin
#

what shader does be shown, if shader disabled?

vague raft
cinder urchin
#

because I think it is messing up my alpha of my shaders

rigid comet
vague raft
rigid comet
rigid comet

That's what i said, even strict safeties with stuff like sounds and shaders off usually has avatars shown for most ranks
