avatar-showcase

[wet trout]

i think they should rename this channel imo

[drowsy star]

You can keep it to yourself if you feel so entitled and above the rules, my dude.

Thank you.

[wet trout]

you are salty like call a manager type

[drowsy star]

Not even salty. You'd probably be scared if I was.

[real cliff]

this channel wasnt built for furry reskin sharing

[wet trout]

w/e all have their opinion

it isn't chat for that

[real cliff]

They made it literally to show off av3 features durring beta

[true needle]

Eh given up on this, was fun when it showed new 3.0 features now its just images of an avatar

[real cliff]

an avatar isnt a 3.0 feature

[wet trout]

you dont know that

maybe it is

[real cliff]

its a 2.0 and 3.0 feature

[wet trout]

they should show something i agree

3.0 feature while posting

[drowsy star]

#vrchat-pictures , #shameless-self-promotion , even #3d-modeling . #vrchat-videos

A bunch of places.

[wet trout]

ok ok end of topic we are breaking rule 19

[limpid acorn]

and what would that mite be

[real cliff]

read it

[limpid acorn]

where

[drowsy star]

#rules

[limpid acorn]

i don't read the rules

ok i see

[wet trout]

better don't tell that

[limpid acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/confused-wtf-what-the-fuck-what-the-hell-what-gif-5922332

what

[wet trout]

saying you never read rules is reason for some to give you ban

[limpid acorn]

ok sorry but your spelling. is reason for some to give you ban .i don't get what you mean your saying i mite get banned

[split sorrel]

There's people who don't even bother reading the purpose of the channel and post irrelevant images, and then there's me, who's spooked to post proper 3.0 stuff I've made cause it's probably not done in the most optimal way.

[limpid acorn]

em

[wet trout]

@split sorrel i think none gonna hate you for that lol maybe some even gonna give you advice

[proven olive]

still working on it

[drowsy star]

Or read any of the chat prior to posting apparently. ^

I'd help you.

Muting this channel though. I'll just share prefabs in general from now on.

[proven olive]

is this good

or this

[split sorrel]

🤢

[wet trout]

second one looks weird

but maybe its only perspective

[true needle]

*Stop Using Poiyomi Master Shader! *

update that old thing

[wet trout]

PoiyomiToonShader is newest ones

[proven olive]

@true needle what version is it suposed to be

[wet trout]

@proven olive https://github.com/poiyomi/PoiyomiToonShader

[proven olive]

when i get this done ima update the shaders

its already taken me a whole hour to get here

[woeful brook]

yessir

[proven olive]

@woeful brook

[woeful brook]

🍪😐

[silver mesa]

What happened to showing off AV3 content lol , this is a bunch of random stuff lol

[real cliff]

av3 came out of beta

and the youtube tutorials came out

sometimes people dont even post things made with sdk3

hell some people dont even know what av3 means and post here

[silver mesa]

Thats what i mean hehe

[west spoke]

Does anybody have a quest compatible ZeroTwo

[drowsy haven]

#avatar-search-old

[west spoke]

Oh shoot lol

[compact needle]

hi how do you like my avatar

[ionic pawn]

omg how to make custom avatar like that😭😭🤲✨

[compact needle]

This video helped me a ton
https://youtu.be/ukyjRAsMJJM

It's super easy :)

[ionic pawn]

i was being ironic but thanks✨

[compact needle]

oh lmao

[ionic pawn]

now if youll excuse me i have long necked anime girls to upload

[warm arrow]

Nice

[chrome wadi]

Reading through recent discussions, I think what should be done is that this channel get split to 2 channels
because if people want to show off their avatar, they're going to go to the avatar section
then it only makes sense that they'll click on the channel that says 'showoff'

So we should just rename this channel to "avatars-showoff"
and make another called "3.0 feature showcase" or something along those lines

otherwise your going to get everything mixed into this one channel and there's really no argument that's going to stop that

[woeful brook]

cute

[lean torrent]

Looks good to me!

[fast grove]

That looks really nice. Very refreshing design.

[silver mesa]

Thats great, but wheres the 3.0 features lol

[fierce scaffold]

i mean technically if its just a pic of an avatar, that was made using 3.0, this would be the place to show it. doesn't say anything about just av3 features.

[austere crest]

love how they added the avatar requests channel and people still ask for things in this channel.. sigh..

[main crag]

No one reads the topic.

[hoary wind]

not sure if this counts as something to show off, but I just recently finished making a two-axis puppet that controls the character like one would play the game (ignore the model quality, its, like, my second full model, i tried my best): https://gyazo.com/7aa64e93154cd48ddeb34fbf6ff1d273
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b06JXh_2SJI

[real cliff]

This channel was created to show off the 3.0 only features during open beta. A picture of an avatar standing and doing nothing isn't a feature of only av3, and it definitely inst something worth the title of awesome and being shown off.

[bold lava]

what about the one I'm working on

[ebon verge]

Sadness on viseme-to-speech synth. Visemes are not phonemes .. P viseme being used for p, b, and m really makes stuff hard to understand lol

[woeful brook]

Hey i didn't know there's a giraffe preset in Vroid

it seems i didnt hide my avatar pedistal well enough hahaha

everyone has the public avatar

hahaha

[supple path]

or one person found it and then just cloned it off a single person

[woeful brook]

nono i saw them all go to it

[pine olive]

Hey Friends, what do you think?
Made it super quick, still have a some tweaks and details to add.

[upper field]

AV3 Features where
also
#rules
15. No posting the same question or statement across multiple channels

[gilded lintel]

Maybe we should have an avatar-show off channel. This could remain as a programming showcase like avatar-3-programming

That would be 10 avatar related channels though

Or maybe we just let people show off avatars in the avatars-show off channel here, be it programming or models

[upper field]

The problem is on-top what you currently see is more of a #3d-modeling post regardless, but even then instead of posting it just there they posted it across both channels
Even though current state of that post has absolutely 0 things to do with VRChat or VRCSDK or Avatar, i feel like no matter what you call the channel it won't stop them from posting things like this.

From what i noticed every channel like #vrchat-pictures or #vrchat-fan-art is usually moderated and mods and vrcteam is constantly asking to keep it only to a related topic, however it feels like they just don't care about moderating this one the same way at all.

[gentle plinth]

Cool to see all the creators in here. Here is my boye doing fortnite dances about to be in the game. Kinda just looking to make friends in game cuz I’ve been lonely recently. Username is BlukaDolpher.

[bitter roost]

@silver mesa

full thing

[silver mesa]

@bitter roost Very nice, however you might want to move this to #3d-modeling

[bitter roost]

say what now ?

[silver mesa]

lol

[bitter roost]

showing off a 3.0 avatar tho

[silver mesa]

you have to show off the 3.0 features lol

[bitter roost]

only image i show cant be beothered to move it xD

[silver mesa]

welp

[bitter roost]

i dont talk here much anyways >.>

[real cliff]

Post that in #vrchat-pictures . Not here

[vague cypress]

here look is on fire but i feel like you need tp fill out the top of the boob more.It seem empty from this outlook

[fierce scaffold]

channel topic doesn't say so, just says showoff. dont be a party pooper, people posting pics they're proud of doesnt hurt you lol kinda weird you spam reactions and are so bothered by it tbh

[copper dirge]

Ikr, the reactions are getting more annoying than the off-topic posts themselves.

[bitter roost]

yeah xD

the discription says show of you awesome AV3 avatars here

so.

its one

so i can show :

like if i were just modeling things on it in metaseq i would throw it in 3d models

or if im weightpainting in pmx i would throw it in mmd

[silver mesa]

Welp

If everybody is gonna post here I might as well too , watch my mj moves 😆

[wild badge]

He's still just a work in progress, but I'm suprised I made it this far, as its my first time!

[lilac kindle]

Nice, congrats!
You should post in #3d-modeling though

[upper field]

Another few completely unrelated to AV3 posts
When you come here often since beta to look at some cool AV3 Ideas but all you see every time is just screenshots of non-unique recolored avatars or other content completely unrelated to AV3.0
(Your avatar using new avatar_descriptor from SDK3 doesn't make it related to an AV3.0 system in any possible way)

[abstract pond]

Here's some 3.0 feet to make up for the lack of 3.0 features recently.

[lilac kindle]

[steady wharf]

lmfao

[tacit hedge]

bugger whoever runs the discord to make the description or name more clear then
until then they'll just keep coming and complaining will only be more annoying than they are

[tacit hedge]

i'm scared

[abstract pond]

You should be

[atomic shell]

lmao that ending

[silver mesa]

At this point so many people have done it , we can’t really fight it anymore , might as well join em

[wet trout]

@woeful brook post it in #3d-modeling bcs you doesn't show any sdk3 features

[woeful brook]

Aaaaahhh aight thanks

[woeful brook]

Dunno where should i post this

[drowsy haven]

#animation likely

[dense breach]

been working on my character in my free time for around 11 months now. all pretty basic toggles and anims but im pretty happy with her.

not in the video: being able to kick props, healthbar with "secret" boss titles that appear with the right outfit combo, a toggleable chair on the tail, and last but definitely not least, a playable av3.0 lute that you can play any 4 chord song with. will probably post another video showing the lute soon.

[weary sand]

just the work on this avatar, holy shit

[tacit hedge]

jesus

[boreal cipher]

i made an epic

[boreal cipher]

its beutiful

[woeful brook]

hot

[tacit hedge]

Nothing big, just your standard item toggle, and a hammer i totally didn't steal from a guy on the moon.

[woeful bolt]

lil basic character, not big but i like it

[woeful brook]

Ah yes VROID

[woeful bolt]

why not doe

[woeful brook]

Cuz VROID is life

[woeful bolt]

i know it's for casual but i still like the app and my avatar

[woeful brook]

It actually can be used very greatly but its requires artistic skills for any method

[tacit hedge]

now with crappy particles

[tacit hedge]

i'll post the tutorial i followed in #avatar-general

[real cliff]

That has nothing to do with 3.0

Post that in 3d modeling or something

[agile seal]

At this point I think the mods should just make it Avatar Showoff XD

[real cliff]

No, they should make another channel for that

call it a dumping ground

Leave this channel for actually cool things done with 3.0, not furry reskins and vroid models

[fierce scaffold]

yaya is just salty

[real cliff]

ok

[agile seal]

We love you Yaya ❤️ Sending virtual hugs.

[fierce scaffold]

lies

[agile seal]

You get a hug too ;P

[velvet path]

Hey I'm sorry I didnt know what the 3 meant

[tacit hedge]

ten people make the same mistake every day it's alright

[real cliff]

Its for sdk3

you like kinda need it, to make a 3.0 avatar

[velvet path]

I won't make the mistake again

[real cliff]

Im not a mod or anything lol

you didnt do anything wrong, its just annoying that this channel turned into this

[agile seal]

I mean.. What do you expect. Not many understand what the 3 and 2 are until you explain it to them. 😅 Just gotta be understanding.

[real cliff]

Kinda would just expect people to somewhat know a little bit about what sdk3 and av3 and sdk2 and all that is when making avatars, I think all the tutorials online say atleast something about them

[abstract pond]

I thought the 3 was for Half-Life 3, dang I need to stop holding onto that.

In new creator's defense, there's honestly nothing that immediately explains the difference, and nothing that says it's strictly for features

[dense breach]

its not really massive issue, especially considering the channel and its description is very vague and not a lot of people post in here anyway

i think it should just be #avatars-showoff at this point tho.

[fierce scaffold]

constant nagging of "wrong channel" also drives people away from wanting to post at all

[dense breach]

yea. plus i dont think its up to us to gatekeep what can and cannot be posted

[abstract pond]

#avatars-showoff and make #avatars-features might be a much better separation

[dense breach]

havent ever seen a moderator step in here yet so.....

only fair to assume everything that is posted is fine

[real cliff]

good, maybe people who understand what 3.0 means will post instead

[fierce scaffold]

who hurt you

[real cliff]

bro

[fierce scaffold]

just let people have fun, showing off their stuff doesn't do you any harm

[real cliff]

Show it in more appropriate channels

[dense breach]

honestly mate if its such an issue just ping the mods im sure they will clear it up for us instead of everyone just shit flinging and debating what belongs in here day in day out, which is all this channel has been for at least the past few days

kinda getting boring at this point

[fierce scaffold]

this is an appropriate channel

[real cliff]

No it isnt

Take this somewhere else too

[abstract pond]

When compared with all the other channels under the Avatar category, I'd choose this for showing anything that has to do with my avatar if I was excited about it, whether it's 3.0 or not

[fierce scaffold]

go cry to the mods then. have them change the topic

[agile seal]

Let us all love one another and spread peace where ever we go. Be respectful and loving to new creators and show them that this is a warm and welcoming place to express ourselves. ❤️

[fierce scaffold]

frfr

[drowsy star]

tfw you're jaded from years of avatar creation and just want to see something cool and new.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[silver mesa]

Could you possibly tell me how you did your sounds for the swords everytime you activated the "Impact sound" ? do you possibly have three audio sources that you state machine thru so you can hit over and over and still have the entire sound play even if you let go of the button, or some different method. Also did you use A optimized method of using blendshapes for all of the different outfits or did you do the dirty and easy seperate meshes? lol

[dense breach]

each sword just has their own audio source and the sound clip is fairly short so they dont cut off. as for blendshapes vs. separate meshes for the outfits, blendshapes would result in incredibly bad performance and is actually the unoptimised of the two options. hiding meshes = less materials being drawn vs. shrinking them inside of the avatar. this way im only ever drawing 20-40k polys and 2-3 materials instead of 140k and 16 materials

(although i use blendshapes for variants of the same outfits, as one outfit = one material)

[real cliff]

Isnt multiple skinned meshes way worse than blendshapes

and meshes too to an extent

with extra draw calls and stuff

[dense breach]

i am not sure, but i am fairly confident that 2-3 skinned meshes of 20-40k polys and 2-3 mats is either better, or at worst, fairly equal to one skinned mesh renderer showing 140k polys and 16 materials

could be totally wrong but thats why i did it the way i did

if we go purely off of the vrchat avatar ranking system, 1 skinned mesh equates to like 4 materials

but i dont know if thats a very logical approach either xD

[drowsy star]

Constantly animating a blendshape is much worse than just turning off the renderer for a skinned mesh.

They're correct in that toggling mesh renderers would be more optimal. If it was multiple mesh renderers constantly rendering for no reason, then that would probably be no good.

[cinder aspen]

No idea if this might be interesting to anyone but for a long time I've been battling with shapekeys or material slots for toggling clothings, Instead I found an interesting solution to my problem

duplicating my armature for specific bones and then parenting the individual bones of the duplicate to the base armature, And then renaming the bones of my duplicated armature to better correspond to the mesh I want it to be for, in this case, a maid dress.

I then kept my weight paints for my dress for my normal skeleton but renamed the specific groups to the bonenames for my new duplicate armature

now in unity i can just scale this new armature to 0 and have no stretching issues.

With that said, I don't know if this is any better or worse than other methods but for me personally I find this to be my new favorite way of creating togglable clothing items

as it doesn't cost any additional separate meshes and doesn't require a material swap.

[drowsy star]

You're just constantly rendering everything at once with a whole extra set of bones so it has to calculate individual vertex groups to morph on an entirely seperate rig.

Plus animating the entire rig for each individual toggle.

I don't think that's good.

Like, there's a category for bone counts too.

Of the 4 (material swapping, blendshapes, the most recent thing mentioned, and toggling mesh renderers) toggling mesh renderers would be the most optimal, really.

Because at least if you toggle a mesh renderer, it's literally telling that mesh and its materials not to render.

In all the other 3, you're forcing everyone to render all of your toggles all of the time. You're just visually hiding them.

Seperate meshes and toggling the mesh renderer would be best for performance. Just make sure the meshes are actually off when not in use.

Blendshapes have a few instances where they may be preferable though also. Like if the blendshaped mesh isn't its own material and/or it actually needs to be skinned to some bones.

[cinder aspen]

Even though this may be less optimized in a literal sense it sucks that the game limits mesh renderers so strictly because I could do this all day and still keep a "good" Rated character compared to if I did what you say I'd end up medium to poor in no time flat

[woeful brook]

I'm just here to show off a model I commissioned that I'm so excited to use later

[fair sparrow]

does the wolf run when u do?

[real cliff]

#3d-modeling

[woeful brook]

yes but the run animation is looped

[silver mesa]

@dense breach @real cliff is it still rendering 140k polys even if the blend shape completely Sets the scale to zero ? Making them non existent

[dense breach]

i know thats a thing strictly in blender, but i cant imagine something like that working in unity when importing the model. maybe, but i have my doubts.

[drowsy star]

Yes, it renders everything unless you either disable the renderers or send it so far away that it's outside your camera clipping plane.

Scaling to 0 has other problems anyway.

If I ever temporarily hide something via scaling it down, I stop at like 0.00001.

[real cliff]

#3d-modeling

[icy nexus]

my first avatar for sale 😊

[real cliff]

#3d-modeling

Also stop advertising here

[dense breach]

here's a follow up to my video from a couple days ago showing off the playable lute that is on my avatar. probably going to expand it to being able to play more than just 4 chords at once, perhaps 6 or 8.

as with everything else, pretty darn simple but very fun for me personally as i like singing/humming when im just sitting around. being able to play simple chords without having to go fetch a guitar or something is pretty gud.

[boreal cipher]

Ive made another Epic

Drip Man

[proud bay]

Made the youtuber/twitch streamer lolathon into a Gonk Droid

[woeful brook]

Just a simple ass Blood Orb Particle.

[atomic shell]

I finished working on my first music animation today and I'm really happy with the result. Looking forward to making more of these! This technically uses 3.0 features at the start 😉

Watch in 4k if possible, YouTube compression really does a number on stuff like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrMwxOevJM0

[lethal anvil]

First time posting to this server! So hi!!!
I'm making my first ever model, its going to be used in VRChat and for VTubing in the near future.
I've been working on it for around a month, finally textured, weight painted, and now I'm working on shape keying simple expressions! O.O
After this its time for hair and clothing yay!

[real cliff]

#3d-modeling dear god

[worn ravine]

A little snippit of a vroid creation that was actually quite difficult to create. <3

Hopefully this lad will soon make it into vr chat. If enough people want to use him, I'll rig him up

Floppy hair man

[agile seal]

Just take a chill pill. Youre stressing yourself out way too much. ❤️ Have a cup of green tea and perhaps a nice chocolate cookie :3

[grizzled surge]

Just made this

[uneven bluff]

10/10 XD

[woeful brook]

Oh my VRoid GANG

[grizzled surge]

Well the back design of it

[real cliff]

#3d-modeling

[grizzled surge]

Ooof sorry

[drowsy haven]

Is the collar weighted to the chest, neck or head? If it's not weighted to the head, it will most likely block your view in-game

[worn ravine]

It's weighted to the head :) the camera has been set a bit above it. I also tested out the avatar and it works fine

[drowsy haven]

nice nice

[woeful brook]

#VRoidGANG

[severe sable]

Retexture made by me lol

[real cliff]

See? furry retextures are taking over this channel

#vrchat-pictures , barely

[worthy spruce]

Stuff my custom Bumblebee has so far <3

[real cliff]

#3d-modeling #vrchat-pictures , This isnt 3.0

it isnt 3.0 in the slightest

[silver mesa]

Yas we need more transformers stuff

@real cliff I dont think people get it when you put the 3.0? underneath the image lol

[real cliff]

pain

[silver mesa]

PAIN

[acoustic steppe]

custom animators are a 3.0 feature. thats clearly custom animator behaviour

[real cliff]

Couldnt generic rigs in 2.0 have custom crouch walk whatever animations

[final sparrow]

https://gyazo.com/e99668c6701e4ae38ba7bfcba1b67eda

[hollow river]

Pretty sure they meant the toggle in the gesturewheel.

[latent oar]

I love the confusion in these chats

[wet trout]

@deft ibex post in #3d-modeling this is for showing 3.0 features

[sterile geyser]

wait whats that model called btw

[boreal cipher]

do you think this is ok to post?

the body has a panosphere that looks like this

[ebon verge]

1.) No 2.) this channel for showcasing 3.0 avatars.

[boreal cipher]

it uses SDK 3

also why no acceptable

?

[ebon verge]

This is a picture of a model no 3.0 features being shown off

[boreal cipher]

ahhh

i see

but still hy cant i upload it

im sertain there are a lot of people who agree

[ebon verge]

I don’t know but that sounds like a discussion for a different channel not this one

[boreal cipher]

mr blocked becuase he no like Valid point pretey epic

[storm pier]

You never asked if it was okay to upload or not, you asked whether it was okay to post. Furthermore what feature are you showing off that is using Avatar 3.0? Is there a hue shift? Some sort of animation?

All I see is a sign that states you don't like Quest users and a panosphere of two different headsets

[boreal cipher]

no its just just me showing my dislikeing of Quest users

[boreal cipher]

in a deep fryer may i say

[storm pier]

So it's just a meme avatar with nothing 3.0 related.

I believe that's what Adeon was trying to get at.

[boreal cipher]

i mean it 3.0 tho

[storm pier]

Just using the avatar descriptor is not really enough. 👀

[boreal cipher]

damn didnt know there werr Standards

[storm pier]

Can the sign change to different signs?

[boreal cipher]

nope

[ebon verge]

The purpose of this channel is to show off 3.0 avatars doing things that 2.0 avatars can not.

[storm pier]

☝️

[boreal cipher]

damn didnt know there wer Heavfy Standards

[storm pier]

"Hey I got an avatar here, nothing special. Just using the 3.0 avatar descriptor. Also screw Quest users"

[boreal cipher]

Exactly

[boreal cipher]

also Screw Quest users

[storm pier]

I'd say the Quest users dodged a bullet ever meeting you in game. 👀

[ebon verge]

You can bash Quest users all you want but please do it in the correct channel, it’s not this one

[boreal cipher]

meh i dont do anything about it i just dislike them

[boreal cipher]

but this is avatar showoff and there is no 2.0 one so yes

[ebon verge]

That’s fine, come back when you make it use 3.0 features

[boreal cipher]

damn

ight

[lilac kindle]

this conversation again

[drowsy star]

Pumkin's a snooty booty.

[potent shoal]

Ammm yes so let me introduce u to my hand controller

but now i can have more handsigns than the standart 7 on normal controllers

[steady wharf]

interesting

is it like, combinations of both hands, or is it sequences of gestures

[potent shoal]

its sequence based

i only added it on 3 of the hand signs tho because i mainly wanna use it for speaking sign language and if i had to many combinations it would interrupt me to much

but now i can have 10 handsigns wich gives me acces to some signs that i cant normally have while speaking sign language

[storm pier]

👍

Nice job

[severe sable]

It's an impim!

[sterile geyser]

O cuul

[woeful brook]

Here's my Aka Oni avatar that i'm working on and i don't know how to make a gesture animations, it's a lil horrible but i'm still in the fetus mode of horrible performance

[hard violet]

I've been learning unity stuff lately, got multiple outfits working now.

[fair sparrow]

i must bother you for information on this topic

[fierce scaffold]

theres some great av3 tutorials on yt that show how to do toggles like that

[fair sparrow]

ty ty

[lyric path]

I made an out-of-body experience flying camera for VR users (available on my booth):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMYWvo8SgE0

[woeful brook]

New changes on my Life Drain animation featuring Sekiro Danger SFX

sorry for the bad quality

[woeful brook]

new suit

[delicate surge]

what you do think of the colors?

[real cliff]

Bruh, what are you two trying to show with 3.0???

[drowsy haven]

This is really cool! What happens when you turn your head though? I'm assuming the camera feed is stuck to your face, so looking around might be kind of disorienting right?

[tacit hedge]

if i didn't know any better i'd think you were a masochist continuing to ask the question you will never get an answer to

[tacit hedge]

amazing

[fierce scaffold]

pretty snek

[tacit hedge]

imagine if you could attach a model to that camera
fly a drone around

[lyric path]

The camera follows your head movement. It’s exactly like the main VR camera attached to your headset.

[drowsy haven]

Ohhh. I guess you probably put a rotation constraint on it very cool

[real cliff]

Ok, still isn't 3.0

[tacit hedge]

you miss the point my friend
it never will be, 100%, at least not so long as the channel is described so vaguely in its purpose
but i think you know that and just want a reason to complain

[storm pier]

Not really vague if you know what 3.0 is. I understand they have an avatar they've been working on and wish to share, but the channel is meant for showing off the Avatars 3.0 features on the avatar. It's like showing off a world in Udon-showoff and not having any Udon features to show. Unless you want more heavily detailed names and descriptions for each channel, then that's entirely up to the Admin. But nothing can be done if people don't say anything about it.

Tl;dr Just ask mods/admins for a General-Avatar-Showoff and direct people there.

Mistakes happen, but don't gotta make a big stink about it on both sides. 🤷

the post may be a bit hypocritical, but create solutions instead.

[manic quest]

so this is the channel for showing off finished models/rigs right?

[wet trout]

@manic quest #3d-modeling that is for this

[manic quest]

ah ok

[storm pier]

That's how it's done ☝️👀

[gritty bay]

Everybody here is soo talented lol

[storm pier]

Well it's not too difficult to learn how, just a matter of finding the time and finding a good starting point.

[woeful brook]

Do you have a link to your booth? Didn't see anything in the description

this channel is hysterical

[woeful brook]

I feel like constraints are the biggest advantage of a vr user compared to a desktop user

[drowsy haven]

On desktop, You can use them to aim your arm where your head is pointing

Which has many uses

[drowsy star]

As mentioned above, constraints could probably be a Desktop users greatest tool.

It's not restricted to like following head rotation or anything either. You could have axis menus for every limb and drive your own IK system if you wanted.

Very powerful..

[visual depot]

Someone being super squishie up in here.

[stoic patrol]

Gotta add a vest and helmet and I'm done

[stoic patrol]

Not a gun because I really can't be bothered to make one

[real cliff]

That isn't even a 3.0 avatar, let alone an avatar, let alone a 3d model for one... It's just a drawing. 😐

[gleaming compass]

Sorry

is this chat even for showing of 3.0 features anymore

[bright pelican]

so far, this channel only shows an inability to read channel descriptions

[woeful brook]

Testing stuff

[sturdy glacier]

Created an avatar reflecting me and my profession. New to discord and VR Chat. Took me 2 days and I'm old so. 🙂 Looking forward to creating my science lounge world as well.

[real cliff]

This channel is a fucking disaster now.

[left bone]

its been like this forever, mods also don't really seem to care so i wouldn't waste your energy

not sure why MMD gets a specific channel but we have an avatar 3 features channel mashed together with showoff

[fickle pollen]

Undead adventurer (or pirate) with 3.0 gear, expressions and inventory toggles! Its public in my avatar world for any fellow wow nerds who want a scary character

[steel rover]

@sturdy glacier science lounge world? That's interesting. What's the subject?

[dusty coral]

Showing off a couple of my avatar's magics.
3.0 and has many different types of magics and will be making more magics later.
avatar barely steals an fps from potato laptops, and it's only 5.92mb in file size.
Quest compatible but without any particles at 1.5mb.
https://youtu.be/1xmR9m9qiKg

This is Part 2 of the avatar, no updates, just the rest of what's in store. uwu
Had to put it in Youtube due to video larger than 100mb
https://youtu.be/EGwqRamD-IA

[dusty coral]

The last animation was the heaviest one I have so far, emits around 200 particles a sec and very very long range one.
This may cause fps issues with the potato laptops since the one I used to test on upgraded his PC/laptop. x)

[lusty laurel]

very cool my guy

[woeful brook]

thx

[lusty laurel]

whats your name in vrc?

[feral hill]

this is how to enable facial gesture and disable

[main crag]

Wrong channel. Try #avatar-help

[feral hill]

na its working

im showing off

thats a working 3.0 system

[main crag]

OH, sorry. I thought it was a question.

[main crag]

I'm like "This is the showoff channel, not support."

[feral hill]

XD

this is a system for users to stop enabling FX all the time

[main crag]

Ooh, fancy~

[sand terrace]

@dusty coral OwO cute Neko, can I add u friend in vrchat, i’m making particle attacks too ❤️

[main crag]

Oh heyo, Hybrid. :)

[desert hull]

but this scheme is useless cuz u can just make AND gates on default gestures .-.

[feral hill]

what you just mentioned i tried

didnt work well with what i have

[desert hull]

regular gate - gesture layer, AND gate for FX & it works perfectly

[feral hill]

this is a and gate plus a or gate on exit

[desert hull]

any state -> idle as OR gate (triple arrow)

that's it ^^

[desert hull]

looks cool 👌

[viscid zealot]

Finished my re-texture of the Derg model by @fathom ocean available on gumroad Had lots of fun and scales where hard to draw on...

[silver mesa]

bruh

[copper dirge]

#vrchat-pictures This is the Avatars 3.0 show-off channel, and that picture clearly isn't showing anything related to Avatars 3.0.

[desert hull]

another furry, bruh

[steady wharf]

very cool, however this is the 3.0 showoff channel, and you're not really showing off any of that

[acoustic topaz]

this is disrespectful to daft punk

[sand rain]

not cool dawg

[torn meteor]

muting channel ya'll are bad

[storm pier]

Stop right there, criminal scum. ✋

Before you post your avatar here, ask yourself the following:

-Does this have anything to do with the Avatar 3.0 system?
[Yes] You're in the right place.
[No] #avatars-2-general

-Are the animations you're about to share the results thanks to Avatar 3.0 system?
[Yes] You're in the right place.
[No] #animation

-Do you know what #avatar-showcase is about?
[Yes] You're in the right place.
[No] Seek help.

[acoustic tiger]

doesnt have any animations but im new so uhhh yeah

[main crag]

#vrchat-pictures would work better.

[acoustic topaz]

"vr chat would work better 🤓 "

bro chillax

[lean torrent]

[atomic shell]

Updated the music animation I made a while back to include some nice conditional avatars 3.0 features. Because it's a public avatar and uses screen effects and particles in a wide area, I wanted to make it the least annoying for other players that I could. There is a warning that you must read to activate the animation, and there's now a specific designated area inside of which the animation is visible, while anyone outside will only see an indicator of the animation area. This is specific to each player locally, and you can enter and exit the area at any time while the animation still continues. Additionally, there is an indicator above the person playing the animation that only other players can see, showing that they are the one playing an animation, in case they still want to hide the avatar.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDgbpF0husU

I shared the music animation itself in here a while back but I'll link it again in case anyone is curious (watch in 4k if possible because of YouTube compression.) I've made it a bit more dynamic since recording the video but it's pretty similar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrMwxOevJM0

[copper dirge]

#3d-modeling That has nothing to do with Avatars 3.0, and isn't even an in-game screenshot.

I mean, it looks good, but your in the wrong channel bud.

[torpid fossil]

Do you know where I could get that?

[dusty coral]

get what?

[torpid fossil]

The one orange cat with the cool abilities

The one in the video

[dusty coral]

Sorry, It's a private avatar.
I can only send you the original files of the neko. Just recolor the avatar and upload.

[torpid fossil]

Ah okay well I don’t really know how to do that could you possibly walk me through it? If so that would be greatly appreciated (:

[dusty coral]

I use a free photoshop-like program called Krita, using the magic selection tool you can select parts that you want to recolor without damaging the whole texture.
There are tutorials on how to upload avatars in Youtube and for the Krita too.

[torpid fossil]

Alright so for that I would have to get vrchat on pc and do some work on that?

[main crag]

How do, Hybrid?

[dusty coral]

[storm pier]

Ah, I see a few people didn't bother reading what I typed.

[steady wharf]

lmao

[storm pier]

We need to start implementing the reading bat more.

[steady wharf]

or find a better name for the channel

#AV-3-feature-showoff

[storm pier]

Eh. I like the idea of smacking people with a baseball bat until their reading has improved or they can no longer read and move more though.

Like a Reading Rainbow Piñata

But I guess changing the name is more "Friendly and safe"

[latent oar]

I agree with the bat part bc people will disregard rules unless they are enforced

Cool #3d-modeling

[lyric kayak]

looks awesome just make sure its in the right channel

[oblique wolf]

so i got a cool animation for my avatar, but where should i use it?

should it be the prone animation? afk animation? just an emote?

[wet trout]

looks like prone animation so prone

[real cliff]

#animation

[lyric kayak]

wrong channel

[oblique wolf]

i mean is this not a channel to show off avatar stuff?

i can use it for any animation, i was just asking for suggestions as to what i use it for

[woeful brook]

Bonjour vous ètes FR

[steady wharf]

it just seems like a different idle prone animation, could use it for any avatar really. this is also the 3.0 showoff channel, which means you're expected to show off 3.0 features

[oblique wolf]

is there no general avatar showoff channel?

[wanton schooner]

#animation #3d-modeling #vrchat-pictures #avatars-2-general

i think #avatars-2-general is generally used for av2 specific stuff tho

[lyric kayak]

yup and questions about them

[bold marsh]

no worries

[woeful brook]

Basically done

[main crag]

The idea is to show the effects in VRC.

[tacit hedge]

in all fairness the description and title are rather vague
you can keep fighting the good fight if you want to but you may see more results by fighting in the admins' dms to clarify things more permanently

[tight knoll]

@woeful brook that looks amazing

[bright pelican]

<@&397642795457970181> i'm not sure that's good idea to ask you guys, but but someone has to say it. Can you create a new channel called avatar showoff and rename this channel into 3.0 features showoff? We got a lot of users posted here their recoloured 2.0 avatars :/
If you can't create a new channel, please say who can do it

[main crag]

I mean, doesn't #vrchat-pictures serve that purpose?

Not like a new channel will fix much, people ignore the channel topics a lot of the time.

[unborn mauve]

#vrchat-pictures is more for in-app pictures. Generally you can fit any of these sorts of off-topic pictures into the development category of channels. This channel could definitely benefit from some sort of clarification on what is or isn't permitted, I'll see what I can do.

And no, the chat mods can't create channels.

[bright pelican]

We just need to ger rid of word "avatars" or "showoff" in the title i guess. It's not help for 100% but do some effort for sure

[main crag]

While you're at it, might wanna clarify #avatar-search-old too.

Half the time it's people looking for custom avatars made for them.

[bright pelican]

Or self promotion channel, but i think it's also not correct one

[bright pelican]

thanks for the answering! I will be grateful for your help

[woeful brook]

Thx

[wanton schooner]

Like “looking-for-avatar” or smth

[wanton schooner]

Still not av3.0 features

[storm pier]

#feature-requests There you go. You're welcome.

Give it some damn traction so somebody notices it.

Now that'll be $1 per player 🤌 💵

I do accept Doge coin.

[dusty coral]

They want to "showoff" their recolored avatars, not post a "picture" of it. xD

[woeful brook]

We got that V card doe

[woeful brook]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrSFk2X4Cv0

[storm pier]

Okay then?

[bright pelican]

nice, but it doesn't look like 3.0 feature

[storm pier]

And video just looks like a video opening which probably would have been more fitting in #animation but even then I don't know what the video was trying to show.

[lean torrent]

Definitely an #animation thing

[short belfry]

Kobold bot using Silents Cel Shader!

[copper dirge]

#avatars-2-general No AV3 features visible there.

[short belfry]

Ok that's a little confusing, nowhere does it say it needs that, this is the only showoff channel, plus it's still using the sdk3?

Perhaps there should be better channel setups?

[copper dirge]

Top text.

[short belfry]

which it is, it's an avatar, and showing off

[copper dirge]

This channel is a lost cause anyways... We need a general show-off channel.

[short belfry]

exactly

90% of stuff in this channel is just pictures of general avatars. This seems to be the channel for it.

[drowsy topaz]

Problem is half the time new people dont even know that theres a difference between SDK2 and SDK3 or that SDK2 even exists lmao

[short belfry]

Like, is there even a reason to consider SDK2?

[copper dirge]

This channel was originally created back during the AV3 beta to show off avatars that utilize the new features of SDK3 to do things not originally possible, but since then it just kinda got forgot about.

[short belfry]

Because the other channels got deleted.

Like it or not, this is the showoff channel now, toggle menu's or not.

[copper dirge]

Ahem... #avatar-development-links #avatar-general #avatar-help

They didn't get deleted. They are right above this channel.

[drowsy topaz]

To be honest once AV3 came out I muted all the SDK2 channels

[short belfry]

The other avatar 2 channels, there used to be another showoff channel

was there not?

I may be misremembering

[drowsy topaz]

I dont think so, like subsonic said this channel was specifically for the beta to show off what was possible in AV3

[copper dirge]

I don't think there was ever a dedicated avatar show-off channel. People just used #3d-modeling, or #vrchat-pictures if it was an in-game screenshot.

[drowsy topaz]

But yeah its deviated from that because people arnt as excited about AV3 since its not a new thing anymore

[copper dirge]

But yeah, this channel either needs to be renamed, or they need to add a separate show-off channel for SDK2 avatars.

It's just in a very unfortunate position atm.

Oh hey, nice Titania Prime icon Scion.

[tacit hedge]

just proof to my point the description is too vague

nice model anyway

how do those legs work out

[drowsy topaz]

Someone actually knows, thanks!

#vrchat-pictures

@tender cradle

[strange edge]

I made a PB&J humanoid. With a knife.

[wanton schooner]

That’s absolutely terrifying, but not quite an av3 showoff

[real cliff]

#vrchat-pictures

[earnest swift]

Why do they not change the channel name to avatar 3 features showoff cuz I’m tied of seeing avatars with no 3.0 implementations put in them cuz this is not the place for that

[drowsy haven]

we can keep wishing

[real cliff]

Has anyone asked yet

[drowsy haven]

but people will continue to misunderstand the purpose of this channel regardless

[earnest swift]

Just wanna see cool 3.0 futures but no

[real cliff]

Put it further down the list with a general avatar show off channel above it

[drowsy haven]

or take "showoff" out of the name altogether

make it "Avatars 3.0 Feature Showcase

to me, showcase and showoff have a different meaning in this context

but maybe not for others

the problem really lies in the fact that there is no good way to describe exactly what people should be posting here

because even "avatars 3.0 features" might not be understood as "things ONLY possible with 3.0"

[earnest swift]

Yea only if they actually cared enough to change it

[drowsy haven]

my point is that changing the name isn't exactly the fix-all solution people think it is

[meager vector]

also is this only for thing that 3.0 avatars can do?

[drowsy haven]

it's supposed to be, yes

[meager vector]

ahh shit then where is the "general showoff"

[drowsy haven]

there are a bunch of other channels not specifically dedicated to showing off, but they are more specific like #3d-modeling #animation #avatar-rigging etc

they double as channels for getting help in those areas as well as a place to show people what you've done

[meager vector]

mm ok ill make sure to post there next time 🙂

[real cliff]

Is there a way to contact the mods who could change that stuff

[drowsy haven]

I don't think they care enough to change it

people have brought it up to them before

It's not a huge deal

I mean yeah it would be nice to see 3.0 features, but people can still post those in here

[real cliff]

Yeah

Avatar requests was to mitigate the amount of "where can I find X" spammed all over

A lot of people wanted that

And it definitely was an issue

[strange edge]

If they want a seperate channel for avatar showcasing, there should be an "Avatar Showcase" channel, cause by definition no other channel fits showing off an avatar, and #vrchat-pictures seems more for general random images than avatar showcasing.

So until that happens, This is the avatar showcase channel.

[real cliff]

No

[strange edge]

Yes

You can say no, but people will post anyway

[real cliff]

It's still 3.0 showoff

[strange edge]

And technically, my avatar is 3.0

soooo

Im just speaking as the mindset of most people

[real cliff]

I can say no and make less people post unrelated content

[drowsy haven]

I agree with you yaya but this is a thankless task

there is no winning this argument, because it will never solve anything

[strange edge]

It really wont, im just stating the facts of how people think

[wanton schooner]

I totally agree, based off of what you can read it makes sense for it to be anything av3, but the feel and idea of it was for the features you can do with it

[lyric kayak]

Wut has this chat became while I was away

[upper field]

AV3 System is nothing to do with SDK3's Avatar Descriptor.
Just because you slapped SDK3's Avatar Descriptor onto your avatar it doesn't make it use AV3 system

(A lot of people that come here often are coming back to see AV3 exclusive content to see what kind of crazy stuff people managed to come up with, and not how you recolored your avatar from one color to another by editing a texture and slapped descriptor on it)

[woeful brook]

me getting ready for the party

well this is the avatar 3.0 showoff preview, you been waiting for

[wanton schooner]

Oh my God is that an actual sdk3 menu wheel?

[woeful brook]

Yes "expressions menu"

[wanton schooner]

That’s like really rare in these parts omg

[woeful brook]

I don't have any VR to capture with so i'm sticking to obs

[lyric kayak]

I’ll allow it it’s very close to not making it but you can stay

[wanton schooner]

What?

They literally have toggles for stuff

How is it not an actual sdk3 showoff

[lyric kayak]

Technically it’s fits because of toggles

And stuff

[woeful brook]

Yeah because it's lacking radial puppets

[wanton schooner]

There was toggles, custom anims, sub menus and puppets in that

Only thing it didn’t have was a radial as you said

[lyric kayak]

I can put custom anims on my 2.0s

[wanton schooner]

I can’t talk lol

I know you can do custom animations but they had both the originals and also the custom, so...

[woeful brook]

I can make a work on it a lil more but that's a wedding attire so no need to add some

[lyric kayak]

Tbh I just give 3.0 avatars a hard time

Mainly because i to dumb to understand

[woeful brook]

Unchecking "has exit time" and putting transitions one by one is very tiring

[lyric kayak]

I’ve tried a couple of times and just thinking about it hurts my brain

[wanton schooner]

Yeah it would be nice if you could set defaults for that kinda thing, and also it’d be nice if you could actually move transitions from one state to another, instead of deleting and readding but that’s more unity issues

And they probably fixed it in later versions XD

[lyric kayak]

Yeah I’ve tried color changing, clothing changing etc and none of it worked

[wanton schooner]

Colour changing can be a bit of an iffy one, especially if you come from black

Sometimes it’s easier to make it white/grey and set the base colour to black then change the base colour via anim

[woeful brook]

Hue shift?

[wanton schooner]

Hue shift kinda sucks imo, personally I think it’s better to animate the colour directly

Plus you can colour animate on quest but not hue shift

[wanton schooner]

Yo can you explain to me how you did the throwing bit either in #avatar-general or in DMs? I’m looking to do something kinda similar for my av

[random helm]

unfortunately its something a bit exclusive to a group im part of, so i cant share how it works

😢

[storm pier]

I would assume it's a dynamic bone of sort for the knife as a parent constraint.

Inert to max, elasticity down.

And then probably another constraint/animation transition for inbetween the fingers followed by your throw.

That's just a guess though 🤷

[little plinth]

how do you get all those options on the right?

[wanton schooner]

No worries then, I was half expecting that answer anyway lol

[random helm]

everything 0, damping 0.015

[drowsy star]

Sharing stuff from VRLabs just helps VRLabs tho.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

VRLabs wouldn’t happen to have a quest equivalent of that lol

Thank you so much

[drowsy star]

Something like that could be done on Quest, yes. You'd just need to do it a little differently.

[bright pelican]

I asked a few times already, we need to caught someone from VRChat team, moderators can't help us

[late perch]

Reading up in this chat is depressing xD, I'm honestly surprised you guys still bother trying to get people to post AV3 specific stuff

Tbh, the channel description is ambiguous

[random helm]

nothing in therew as developed by vrlabs, nor did i ask for assistance with anything on there bar godfall for the flip part of it

[random helm]

this is made by me. not vrlabs.

also this can be made quest compatible very easily

[wanton schooner]

Oh someone else said vrlabs so that’s what I assumed

[drowsy star]

It's not a difficult thing to make. I know the prefab you modified, so not really all you. Just to be totally fair here.

https://vrchat.com/home/avatar/avtr_c242a439-1392-46fb-99f7-194d42e077f2

Finn, the Human from Adventure Time
Is only my second avatar and the first one was a learning one so do be kind. Finn is an adventuring avatar. Family-friendly.
Face tuning: Menu-accessible blend trees for Happiness, Surprise, Anger, Narrow eyes and closing both eyes independently. Randomize button. Nine preset facial expression macros, seven of which can also be accessed via GestureLeft. A toggle to disable only this use of GestureLeft so Index controller users can keep gestures enabled for the remaining avatar features without contorting their faces all the time.
Optional friends on head: Jake or BMO. Jake's leg and arm length and angle are controllable. Not compatible with Ice King's Crown but usable with the hood on or off.
Finn's Swords: All of Finn's main swords can be wielded on the left hand (screenshot is from mirror, sorry). Whooshing noise in GestureRight 5.
Lantern (right hand): A light source. Hinged so it's always straight (uses a dynamic bone).
Marceline's Bass Guitar (right hand): Can be wielded in Play or Swat modes. In Play mode, it can produce six different notes using GestureRight. In Swat mode it has controllable length and can produce a whooshing noise with GestureRight 5.

VRLabs marker (right hand): Thinking of my mute friends. The marker is visible as an actual marker. GestureRight controlled.
Ice King's Crown: Enables an alternative skin and snow particles. In Ice King mode Finn moves straight forward in the air, or can go up with GestureRight 4 and down with GestureRight 5.
Betty's Magic Carpet: Flies through the air, pitch controlled by your legs: Stay upright to go up, bend your legs to go down (in desktop mode press C). Can carry one extra passenger. Compatible with all Head props and Swords, but not with right hand items for now.
Regular gestures and dances: Nothing special about these, but they're provided!
Performance: Poor for the lantern but otherwise very medium. Finn & Friends have less than 10k polygons combined.

Hope this is sufficiently v3

[atomic rover]

@lost slate That has dwarfed every submission I had seen so far in this channel😂

[lost slate]

I went a bit overboard with the amount of features yeah. I hope to be able to use much of this for my next avatar

It's an incremental process

[atomic rover]

Curious about the lantern. Could it be made with joint component with rigidbody?

[lost slate]

I literally have no idea, I'm a total noob

But I should point out the lantern is part of the main body right now

It's not a separate mesh

[atomic rover]

The content is already far from that though😆

[lost slate]

Huge thanks to @atomic shell for guiding me through Unity's many quirks, they're duly credited in the avatar's description line

[atomic rover]

So that's the reason to use dynamic bone.

Still impressive that it packed so many features but normal performance overall.

[lost slate]

If the lantern was a separate mesh I could place it on the carpet while both are on, which would be nice. Maybe I should do that

The performance is rated "Poor" since light automatically makes it poor but the only other "poor" entry are the material slots (17). That number is artificially inflated due to 2 particle trails I'm not using, and could be further reduced by atlasing the swords, but it would be hard work, since the textures are very tight

And why should I if vrchat is gonna call it poor no matter what

I have criticisms regarding the performance evaluation system 😛

[atomic rover]

Quite true

My rule of thumb though, if a prop doesn't rely on bone deformation, I usually separate it to outside of body armature.

[lost slate]

I wanted medium performance so I distributed the props between meshes, skinned meshes and bones but that light thing screwed me

Still, I'd rather have the light. Some worlds are really dark so it's useful for exploration

[atomic rover]

There comes the horror worlds😂

[wanton schooner]

That’s awesome

If you want me to play test the quest side of it, I would be more than happy to

[storm pier]

You also get a gold star

I think now that I've added gesture expressions, my avatar is complete for now!

[random helm]

Get off my back. This wa smade entirely by me.

From start to finish.

Please DM me with what you think I've copied.

[drowsy star]

I didn't do my research. The modified prefab was your prefab. No reason to get hostile. Kinda regardless, I stand by the statement about it being something that wouldn't be difficult to reproduce.

[strong dirge]

A radial menu I made for sitting height. Also fixes chairs causing head and hands to have tracking disabled if you sit and stand up too quickly.

I could probably make setting the height more elegant by disabling all tracking so the body doesnt fold on itself, but I dont really care to atm. Its funny to watch anyways.

lol i dont know that

[gaunt swallow]

What's the link to the script?

[dusty coral]

For the Locomotion, people boolid me while sitting in a chair irl, a lot of ones took pics of my avatar's.. behind so many times, I got mad and added an extra blend-tree to fix my avatar from crouching while sitting in my chair and not make my avatar weird when doing it and walking. >3<

Also shared it in the shareable assets website. can't make link due to website seem forbidden to write it's name here. :/

[celest knot]

This is a really awesome idea!

[ebon verge]

People who keep rare avatar features secret are the same ones who end up whining when someone else gets all the credit for being the first to publicly teach how to do it.

[wanton schooner]

Also not an avatar 3.0 specific feature as far as I see, #vrchat-pictures or #3d-modeling

I need this

Ya'll that show non-3.0 stuff is gonna start getting tomatoes.

[drowsy star]

r/whoosh

You're literally the only person that told someone you couldn't share how something works in weeks in this channel.

[drowsy haven]

personally, I'm always excited to explain how things work

especially if I figured it out on my own

[deft burrow]

I feel like you didn't mean it this way but, to me at least, that comes across as 'I don't care how much time or effort you put into it, you Have to share it with everyone or else you're the bad guy'. That way of thinking just seems off to me

[ebon verge]

I get most excited explaining how things work when someone else is trying to keep it secret.

[deft burrow]

I mean, if someone was explaining how to do it and they came in to try to shut them down I'd be with you all the way but that's not happening here so I don't know why you're hounding on them so hard.

[ebon verge]

Not specifically. But there’s a lot of “hey I’ll tell you how this works but you can’t tell anyone” sort of thing and I find it a little annoying.

[drowsy star]

Exactly. I resist the urge. But if I see someone trying to profit off of something that someone with any experience would find a mundane thing, then I'll just take the time to explain it or even just give them a quick rendition of my own.

[drowsy star]

It's not that in the least. If someone asks and you basically tell them in your own words "Oh, it's a secret. Sorry. I have the time and ability, it's not an inconvenience to me, but you're on your own." I kinda take issue with that.

Like, there are a vast majority of people that spend months on a single idea and then just give it to the community and support them.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[random helm]

i dont want to release how it works because it wouldnt be right to those who will buy it

also why u block me

[drowsy star]

You're not blocked. You just Dm'd me with a hostile attitude.

[random helm]

yo go to #avatar-general

[ebon verge]

Knowledge is free. You're buying the work of making it yourself, not the knowledge of how to make it.

[random helm]

can you explain what you mean? in #avatar-general

[ebon verge]

It's simple I'll just respond here. Money can be exchanged for good and services.

[drowsy star]

They mean that you put in the time to put all of the parts together and that time is worth something.

If you explain how it works and they put in the time to make it, then that's time you didn't have to put into it.

[storm pier]

I just look at it and stupidly spoil it like a Chris Angel magic trick.

[drowsy star]

It's why I often explain things I haven't even done. Because I know how and I just don't want to do it myself.

[storm pier]

Cause im like "Hey, that's how that thing works"

[abstract pond]

Yaya I think at this point this channel is only affecting you negatively and you're probably much better off just never checking again till it's addressed by staff, for your own sake and others

[real cliff]

Ok but that man didn't post anything to with 3.0

[woeful brook]

Do you know how fix that

[real cliff]

You ain't gonna ignore that

this ain't the help channel

Please dude

It's literally in the name

And above this channel

Keep your stuff there

one day yaya, one day

[storm pier]

Just boo and throw tomatoes from here on out. They'll have to learn the hard way until somebody fixes the Discord names and descriptions.

[drowsy star]

Yaya cracks me up. And people reacting to Yaya cracks me up. And the people that just want to post whatever they want are actually starting to crack me up with how silly they are.

I'll just be thankful for the people that actually post channel relevant content. Stopped caring.

[storm pier]

It's simple if you get enough people behind it.

3.0 worthy showoffs get gold stars, everything else gets tomatoes.

We run out of tomatoes, we start throwing bricks. Fail-proof.

which channel

[wooden portal]

Thank you.

[bitter geyser]

does anyone have a small male avatar i can copy

[real cliff]

@bitter geyser Do you have a brain and functioning eyes to let you realize that #avatar-search-old exists and is the exact place you need to post such a message, along with reading the rules of the server?

[upper field]

New to discord server [✓], Ignored the rules [✓], Did not read channel names [✓], Posted same question across 3 channels [✓], Got all 3 channels wrong [✓], Avatar request [✓], Does not respond back to pings [✓].
Goddamn, what a combo

[frank bramble]

been working on a few combine avatars lately

They are medium rank on PC, and they are fully quest compatible

each avatar has their own set of features, such as a comprehensive taunt menu, a full wheel of useable weapons with full PVP functionality, certain avatars have special features such as night vision

as well as being able to toggle whether or not you use the reflection probes of whatever world you're in, or the built in reflections i included into the avatar

you can find them all in the Xen | VRCValve world if you wish to try them out for yourself

[woeful brook]

made this, its not that good but i like it

[real cliff]

@woeful brook @woeful brook Go to #vrchat-pictures

[woeful brook]

i dont understand why it is a picture of my avatar and only my avatar

[real cliff]

Its just a picture of an avatar not doing anything with 3.0, both of you guys

Avatars 3.0 showoff, where you show off 3.0 shit

[woeful brook]

i dont see how theres a difference look wise between our and theirs

[real cliff]

You to do something with them that makes them any more different from 2.0, and to show it

its 3.0 for a reason

Then show them

[woeful brook]

how are any of these people showiung anything thats 3.0

how do you know they arent 2.0

[real cliff]

this is a disaster

[woeful brook]

how so?

[real cliff]

well yeah, youd show something to do with 3.0 in the channel specifically called 3.0

no

[solid creek]

Here we go again. Maybe this channel should just be closed. Its run its course and people are already familiar with Av3.0 to not really need a feature showoff probably...

[real cliff]

no its not

[drowsy topaz]

It's going to get to the point where people dont even know that AV2 existed. This channel is doomed to time

[woeful brook]

@real cliff why are you telling us to show features but not the previous people

[real cliff]

I do it all the time

look

others do too

[woeful brook]

@real cliff i dont see any dedicated channel for showing 2.0 avatars

[real cliff]

And?

[woeful brook]

lol

so why are you telling us not to send our shit here

if theres no channel for it

[real cliff]

Becuase it says 3.0

[woeful brook]

is there a 2.0 equivalent

please answer my question, i just want to understand this discord server and use it correctly

i dont want to make anyone else angry

[real cliff]

#avatars-2-general #vrchat-pictures , shits useless, cant do anything compared to 3.0

[woeful brook]

ok but is there an avatars 2 showoff

[solid creek]

Like #udon-showoff , this channel was meant for people to demonstrate what AV3 systems are capable off by showing off creations that take advantage of it. You don't have people showing off regular worlds in #udon-showoff that doesn't utilize any udon features, or sdk2 worlds there for that matter.
Prior to AV3's introduction there was never any "showoff" channel for avatars, and people just posted screenshots in #vrchat-pictures

[real cliff]

It doesnt need one, never had one, never will get one. its an old less powerful system, only kept alive for the old avatars and people who dont want to waste the 5 extra minutes to switch

[woeful brook]

then why is ther an avatars 3 showoff if theres already an avatars 3 general

[woeful brook]

and why wont it ever get one

[real cliff]

take this to another channel its cluttering the fuck out of this one

[woeful brook]

what channel would you like to clutter instead

[real cliff]

I dont care tag me

[upper field]

How is that even an argument?
If you come here with a meme you want to post and there is no channel dedicated specifically for that, are you going to post it in #vrchat-pictures, #vrchat-fan-art or what?

as for 3.0, AV3 system is an entirely different thing. Using new avatar descriptor in SDK3 is not the same thing as using parts of AV3.0 system.

You are not the only who get's pointed out for posting stuff like this. Happens pretty often if you scroll up.

[woeful brook]

im sorry but i am having a conversation with multiple people and it seems like you dont completly understand my point

i cant really explain it right now

[upper field]

and my point is - if you are having something to showoff there is a few channels for that
Animations? - #animation
Model? - #3d-modeling
Shaders? - #shaders
MMD Related? - #avatars-mmd
In-game screenshot of something? - #vrchat-pictures

[drowsy star]

Use the proper channels. You can say it's rude to be told to go somewhere else with your post, but it's ruder still to just do whatever you want and clutter up a channel with irrelevant posts. Saying "I don't see the difference between my post and theirs" is solely due to how many people do just as you do and post their stuff without reading and without being considerate and without deleting their irrelevant posts after someone point it out for you. @woeful brook @woeful brook

This just needs to be closed, as was stated.

[woeful brook]

i didnt say anything about people being rude

[upper field]

Agreed, this channel really is a disaster at this point, and nothing is being done about it. Might as well not have it.
My favorite is when people come in, Ctrl+V whatever they wanted to post and never look back at the channel again.

[woeful brook]

its the internet i dont care if you act rude to me

[drowsy star]

Could ping the community manager and have them manage the community.

I guess I could just get kicked from the server. Ironic.

[upper field]

i mean... yeaah.. since it's not that urgent you can't just ping them.

[drowsy star]

He obviously isn't monitoring the channel. Neither are any of the "active" chat mods.

[upper field]

oh definitely doesn't seem like it.

[woeful brook]

kinda funny tbh because from what it looks like theres a good amount of mods

unless im wrong

[upper field]

they apparently don't have any power for editing channels anyway.

[woeful brook]

but either way its a large discord for a popular game i would (if i was a mod) prioritize this server over others

[woeful brook]

wouldnt the dev team have access to that perms?

[upper field]

they most likely do but there is not really a clear way to even get them to do it. Pinging the team is not allowed without urgent reason - which this isn't.

[drowsy star]

But we get threatened with a server kick if we ping them for anything not considered urgent.

^

[woeful brook]

youd think that with 24 admin equivalent people that this server would be well moderated

but this is a different case because its vrchat

[drowsy star]

I'm going to assume even Tupper has channels muted.

[woeful brook]

probably

[upper field]

i mean.. everyone would have them muted to be honest regardless of status i'd assume, especially vrcteam

[drowsy star]

You can hide notifications without muting a channel.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[drowsy topaz]

Amount of devs doesn't matter when most of them are engineers

[drowsy star]

If they're making money off of the app now, they probably should manage things a bit here and there.

[upper field]

that's not even the problem, it really doesn't take 5000 backend adjustments to change a name/description of the discord's channel and move it up/down.
and i'd say about 80% of the time looking at this channel you would notice that this channel lost pretty much anything to do with AV3.0 apart from select people that still know what it's about

[woeful brook]

yeah

managing a discord server doesnt take much

takes more effort to manage a gmod server than discord

[molten lark]

You want #3d-modeling my dude

[woeful brook]

oh mb

[austere crest]

its funny.. you discussing the fact that no one uses this channel right and is full of clutter... is in itself more clutter.. :/

[upper field]

There is just no other way to go about it though...
The channel isn't being used right - so people try to point people in the right direction as to make this channel more about AV3 content specifically (What it was intended to be) Because no one else in the team decides to take an action in changing the name/description/placement of the channel.
But people just keep ctrl+v'ing screenshots of their avatars in and they leave, that's it. Despite those having nothing to do with AV3 and the only thing they sometimes have is SDK3's descriptor which has nothing to do with AV3 system. and in most cases even more clutter usually comes from the fact that people think SDK3 = AV3 even though it actually doesn't and they decide to argue about that this is the right channel.

[storm pier]

I beg to differ. 🧱

[bright pelican]

did we already ran out of tomatoes?

[drowsy haven]

This channel is a mess. It's the wild west in here

[sharp dock]

i 3d modeled myself

[lilac kindle]

#3d-modeling then

[storm pier]

We're out of tomatoes, we only had two and I didn't know there would be such a rush. 👀

[atomic rover]

https://youtu.be/DNC_A8n5Ooc Full finger control

There's a blend tree with 32 animation clips for each hands. 32 clips are total combination of finger up and down per hand.

[storm pier]

I wanna see this in action now 👀

[drowsy haven]

there's a link

[atomic rover]

There's a youtube link for the action.

[storm pier]

Gimme 🤲

I want to mess with friends with fake index controls

I also only have three fingers so it makes it better for me

[atomic rover]

I will find a way to extract the animator and clips from my project.

[storm pier]

But for real, great job

No worries about it. I got muscle animator so I can do my own. Just never thought of doing that

It'll be faster since I have one less finger as well

[atomic rover]

Alright. If you need more information or theory, feel free to ask👍

I already reverse engineered a passcode system. So im on a Unity break.

That’s dope

[drowsy haven]

Thanks!

[clever sphinx]

Did you make that yourself?

[drowsy haven]

Ye

[clever sphinx]

Wow that’s really impressive

[drowsy haven]

Thanks, but it's pretty simple tbh

[wet trout]

yes once you know secret

[drowsy haven]

ye

It's just two orthographic cameras, one for colour and one for depth

fed into poiyomi's, where the depth render texture is being used as a vertex displacement map

Unfortunately, because of its reliance on cameras, currently only friends can see it. I really wish they'd add cameras to the safety system

[clever sphinx]

you are speking a different language that I do not understand one bit

[wet trout]

i know other way of doing it also

[lime zinc]

That's a really clever use of vertex displacement.

I guess we could use the same technique to make a portable 3d mirror.

[drowsy haven]

That's actually the inspiration behind this.

[steady wharf]

@drowsy haven where did you find the option for the displacement map?

[drowsy haven]

under vertex options

[steady wharf]

"height map"?

[drowsy haven]

yeah that's the one

[steady wharf]

alrighty

trying to do a similar effect lol, thought it was super cool

[drowsy haven]

nice, post a gif when you're done!

[steady wharf]

alrighty

will probably try to make it like a portable, world locked 3d mirror

[lyric kayak]

Bruh y’all are speaking enchantment table

I can barely make avatars with hue shift

[drowsy haven]

Oh, make sure you turn off the lighting tab, in poiyomi's

you want to capture the lighting with the camera and not apply any extra on top of it, otherwise it will look really bad

[steady wharf]

right

hm

can I see how you have the cameras configured?

trying to get the depth texture to actually work

[drowsy haven]

you just have to have two ortho cameras that are the same. And two seperate render textures. In the inspector for one of the render textures, change the mode to depth

[steady wharf]

yep, did that

[drowsy haven]

this is the camera

nothing fancy here really

if you have any more questions, ping me in #avatar-help

[steady wharf]

alrighty

[storm pier]

Imagine if that was capable of being saved with parameters. Just run around stealing people's faces.

[steady wharf]

that would be funny lol

[woeful brook]

remind me where the hell you ask people to make you an avatar

[lyric kayak]

#community-servers-old

Then vrctrader

[steady wharf]

@drowsy haven 👀

interesting

still trying to work out that weird effect lol

I'm gonna assume I can't completely eliminate it, but I can probably reduce it

[drowsy haven]

the stretching?

Not sure if you can get rid of it, but maybe adjusting the alpha cutoff could help

[drowsy star]

Nave was doing this sort of thing 3 years ago. About time someone brings it back to 3.0

[steady wharf]

lmao right

[drowsy star]

Also, VRLabs took inspiration from the pickupable particle marker idea and did all the things I was too lazy to do. You guys should check it out.

I'd do a show-off for them, but they did all the extra work.

[drowsy star]

More cameras.

👀

[steady wharf]

interesting

that's an idea

not too sure how I would go about actually combining them

[drowsy star]

It's how it was done back then.

[steady wharf]

it would be cool to have like an actual 3d mirror

360

[drowsy star]

They used a camera for each side. Kinda overkill. But it worked, so.
