[keen parcel]

Hoping to get this beauty up and running by my birthday. Got it commissioned by an artist from Fiverr by Itdan71

[sage schooner]

Looks great 👍

[keen parcel]

Thank you

[sage schooner]

Are the wings going to be jiggle bones?

[keen parcel]

Dont know. I do know that they will be able to be worn on or off though

[sage schooner]

oh nice

[keen parcel]

If not i can always get another commision to add fluent movement to the wings and also the tail

[late pewter]

WIP fox avatar

[storm pier]

Curse you for showing non 3.0 features in this channel but at the same time it's a cartoon fox and classic cartoon/rubberhose be my asthetics.

Good job

[late pewter]

well it will be a 3.0, eventually

though yeah maybe avatars general for any future progress

[storm pier]

You give me mixed emotions of joy and anger. Im hapree for you

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with

[lyric kayak]

Still show off fucking 3.0 features

No one fucking uses this channel properly

[drowsy haven]

The people complaining about it are also, ironically, not using the channel correctly

[storm pier]

It's already and constantly talked about. Not much can be done until Discord Mods or the Owner can change names and description 👀

Just Tomato or Brick them and move on.

[alpine python]

Have any of you made a canny about this?

[storm pier]

The most I done was ask to get these changed in feature requests.

Since they don't necessarily have a suggestion box

[alpine python]

I mean as the description says "Discuss feature requests here. This channel is not monitored, please post your Feature Request on our Feedback boards: https://feedback.vrchat.com/"

Adding new international channels on the discord has been always handled trough making a canny and getting enough support for it

For example

[drowsy haven]

They do have a suggestion box. It's the Canny

[storm pier]

Well I meant on the Discord itself

[drowsy haven]

They're not going to use Discord for official suggestion/bug report tracking. Canny is specifically for that.

[storm pier]

This seems like a huge complicated system to just revise the name and descriptions of certain Discord channels.. 👀

Especially when Discord doesn't fall under any of these categories.

But hey, if you think a canny will work then set it up.

[alpine python]

That's why I said above adding new international channels have been handled trough canny

[storm pier]

For the sake of everyone then, I had to email them directly due to the fact that their canny guideline states and I quote:

"Feature requests should describe a specific change or addition to the VRChat application or the VRCSDK"

Nothing about Discord.

[alpine python]

https://vrchat.canny.io/feature-requests/p/vrchat-romanian-community
It's still used for it

[storm pier]

Well I emailed them instead so it's in their hands no matter what.

[woeful brook]

an avatar I made for myself

[storm pier]

And speaking of improper use of the channel.

[storm pier]

Good job, but wrong channel. #3d-modeling

[woeful brook]

oh

I assumed it would go in this channel since its "showoff"

[storm pier]

Avatar 3.0 features showoff

[woeful brook]

ah

I see

[storm pier]

We're working on it.

Good job with the avatar though

[woeful brook]

thanks

[woeful brook]

Had a lot of fun with the 3.0 version

One more just in case

[deft burrow]

#vrchat-pictures

Toggles for the avatar in the last pics

[storm pier]

[storm pier]

Good job, that gif is for you as well.

[zealous flame]

it isnt even that good but i converted all my friends minecraft skins to vrchat

[real cliff]

Disaster.

Can't even say if that belongs in #3d-modeling , it's so basic. But it belongs here much, much less.

[zealous flame]

dude its an avatar why do you care so much :(

[real cliff]

Because you aren't showing anything about 3.0

[storm pier]

Avatars 3 Showoff is for showing Avatars 3.0 Features. Im working on getting the name and description updated.

[zealous flame]

ah

[storm pier]

I did get an email that states:

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback. We'll pass this along to be reviewed.

VRChat Team```

[steady wharf]

@real cliff I understand that you want to ensure that people use this channel correctly, which is commendable, but you could also go about it in a more polite way

[storm pier]

So fingers crossed?

[real cliff]

Yeah I should lol

[zealous flame]

thanks

do i delete it

also why did you react with like 7 emojis including a tomato

what does a tomato mean

[steady wharf]

it's what we throw at people who forgot to show off 3.0 features

[real cliff]

Like when you throw a tomato at someone

Then a brick

[steady wharf]

^ for when we run out of tomatoes

[real cliff]

Then 3.0?😐

[storm pier]

You see? The tomato works.

A flawless system in place if you ask me.

But for real, emailed them about this since that's like the only way to convey things around here. So hopefully they get someone on it to revise the channels with better names and descriptions.

[unborn marlin]

Pieck edit wip

Planning to port them on vrchat after it finish hope i can finish her

[real cliff]

Disaster 😔

[tough locust]

😔

[modest swift]

maybe in a century people will learn what this channels aboutt

[tough locust]

you think people will learn to read in only a century?

[real cliff]

Evolution takes time

[latent oar]

you better show the 3.0 functions of the avatars noble

[zealous rune]

Groggo made his and the the light blue model in the top picture while I made my black armor with the white undersuit, the white armor, and my girl friend's armor. Did I mention that on the tac pad there is minecraft

[latent oar]

is English your first language just wondering

[storm pier]

Gentlemen, ready your bricks.

[copper dirge]

I can already see the tomato and brick reactions.

[storm pier]

Ladies, divert your eyes

[copper dirge]

I just ended up muting this channel, nobody is using it correctly.

[storm pier]

I emailed them about it, so I'll keep people updated on what I can find out.

[copper dirge]

I wish replies didn't ping by default...

[storm pier]

Same

[zealous rune]

Alrighty then I can see that my existence isn't welcomed

[copper dirge]

#vrchat-pictures

[zealous rune]

Have a nice day, everyone

[storm pier]

Your existence is welcome there ☝️

[copper dirge]

This channel is for showing off avatars that use SDK3 exclusive features. #vrchat-pictures is for everything else.

[storm pier]

☝️

[copper dirge]

It's just in a very unfortunate position rn...

[storm pier]

Doing the best I can for you all to get these things fixed.

[copper dirge]

Read our replies before you go storming off, it's not that you aren't welcome, you are just in the wrong channel.

The channels name is very confusing considering what it's actual purpose is.

(Sigh) i need to stop involving myself in the shenanigans of this channel, i get the feeling i just hurt someones feelings badly.

[storm pier]

Oh well, let them be offended I say.

There is constant hints telling them that this is clearly the wrong channel if they simply read.

[copper dirge]

||We all know 75% of the worlds population doesn't read.||

[storm pier]

Well so far it's the same pattern. We talk about how this channel needs to be revised and how this is for Avatars 3.0 Features and then someone posts a picture not related to Avatars 3.0, then it's repeated over and over.

[open meteor]

rate 1 - 10

[alpine python]

1 based on how my eyes hurt just by looking at the picture

[steady wharf]

^

if I was in game with you I'd hide the avatar

[main crag]

Is this a 3.0 avatar or...?

[dense breach]

1. i would instantly hide this avatar, it looks like it's about to pull out a crash gun.

anything as neon as that is not worth even checking the avatar stats

[real cliff]

My eyes say 1

[copper dirge]

I would give it a 0 if that was a valid option.

Instant hide avatar from me.

Nobody likes super obnoxious neon particles like that.

[unborn marlin]

Do u know where i could read the specific channel purposes, can't find them on the rules channel.

[tacit hedge]

in the channel descriptions themselves
that said this particular channel's description is 100% unhelpful and idk why out of 25 admins not one can spend 5 seconds clarifying it

[storm pier]

I wonder what AV3 stands for... 🤔

"Show off your awesome (Avatars Version 3) avatars here!"?

Nah..

But once more im working on it, awaiting some form of feedback or reply via email about this situation.

[floral bay]

av3 = 3.0 sdk avatars

[storm pier]

0/10. If your goal is to assault players by inducing seizures, then stop playing VRChat all together and seek professional help from a psychologist.

[floral bay]

i see not a lot of 3.0 stuff in here sadly, have my current personal edit https://streamable.com/5i8i1w

[latent oar]

I'd suggest looking into #3d-modeling for that as it's still in blender and is not using the sdk3 for any features but great work

[unborn marlin]

okay thx

[real cliff]

Bro what

[drowsy haven]

Basic avatar passcode system I made

[steady wharf]

"basic"

[simple axle]

I need to get something like this sometime.

security 100

[bright pelican]

nice but i hope it's not public avatar

[drowsy haven]

It's not

[quasi perch]

hi big fan

[bright pelican]

then boy oh boy, i love it, i love functionality but i hate when someone use passwords on public avatars

[radiant wadi]

not sure why you would need a password for a private avatar

[storm pier]

In case a script kiddie manages to get their hands on it whether it be private or not.

Also another function for it on a public model is having a passcode for a sample tag for things like VKet so you don't have to upload two versions of the model.

Some people just want a bit more control on a public model and or who clones it.

[sand rain]

would not they be able to remove lock if they get their hands on it with a hacked client or w/e?

it def seems like a cool tool, but i imagine it can't defend against that. all you'd have to do is remove the menu from the avatar descriptor, right?

[calm dirge]

Been MIA from VRChat for over a year, returning back to update my Chao Garden avatar world + the avatars themselves.

Chao OC Maker incoming

aw the video doesn't get embedded

https://streamable.com/8ldriv

[storm pier]

Actually no, these are tied into the parameters, it's just like any normal animation when it comes to 3.0 really.

The only way to "unlock" an avatar is whether they go through all the possible combinations, ask the author for the password, or rip the model directly from the game and reupload it themselves.

And keep in mind the third option is not really something your normal script kiddie can do

[radiant wadi]

the only way you can get a private avatar is to rip it though, it will error out otherwise- no client can force clone private avatars

additionally, ripping doesn't require any sort of client

you just trudge through your vrc files

[storm pier]

Well im simply saying though that a lot of the people who steal avatars are like people who download Cat's Blender plugin. Just a button press or two to feel like hackerman.

Will it stop them? Not really. But any security is mainly there to slow down and demotivate.

[sand rain]

that's reassuring. I suppose any security will be broken if the attacker is persistent enough.

[radiant wadi]

honestly if you upload your avatar as private you're like 99% safe

[storm pier]

Anything can be hacked the actual question is if all the effort put in worth it.

[radiant wadi]

because avatar files are obfuscated anyways, so if they don't have the avatar themselves, they can't isolate it

so it'll show up in a list of thousands of random strings

[storm pier]

☝️

Summary really is the threat is there. But not really as common as people wish to believe.

[radiant wadi]

the main reason avatars get shared around is actually leaking

not ripping

and that has 0% to do with any of vrc's code

its off topic tbh but like. nobody uses this channel for its real purpose lmao

[storm pier]

For me, I have a model for sale on booth. It's not the best looking thing or most desired, but I set up a passcode for my public version to disable the sample tag on it. So I can still have it set to public and I can share with my friends who may want to goof around with it that I trust.

Instead of uploading two or three versions of the same avatar. It's just one.

Now if some mad chad actually sits there and cracks the password. Then kudos to them.

That would involve going through who knows what length of passcode I may have set.

And that's the major demotivator when it comes to passcodes. How long is the password each author uses.

I just remembered not the place to be talking about this stuff so if you want me to continue ranting just ping me in #avatar-general

[floral bay]

passwords arent to stopping ripping or leaking, its to stop reuploader

if you look at my link i use dreadriths pw creator myself

[storm pier]

I reverse engineered mine from Raythalos

Passcodes vary and can have different outcomes is all.

Depends on the author at the end of the day.

[woeful brook]

i dont regret making this

amogus

[fierce scaffold]

if its a rip they can just change the animations. but if its private in the first place most people arent gonna bother

[storm pier]

"The only way to "unlock" an avatar is whether they go through all the possible combinations, ask the author for the password, or rip the model directly from the game and reupload it themselves."

[fierce scaffold]

yes, my brain skipped that line my b lmao

[storm pier]

well if it's taken from the game and put into Unity, there's not much you can do with a passcode system unfortunately.

all you can do is make sure you report any players with it

Probably move the convo to #avatar-general

[drowsy star]

Wrong.

Parameters are saved locally. Went through this with my passcode back when.

Just change the parameter value in a text file then save.

Unlocked.

Unless he literally unlocks the avatar every world/session/avatar change.

He likely saves the parameters, thus it's not difficult to just open a text file.

[drowsy star]

Literally the only use case for avatar-level passcodes like these would be on public avatars with unlockables or sharing them with friends without people just jumping into them while you turn on cloning. They're too vulnerable to use to seriously deter people that want to take your things.

They're a fun thing. Not a serious thing.

Unless you dedicated like half your bits towards the lock. Then you're just being wastefully paranoid anyway, right?

[abstract pond]

Not true, with 8 bits, on my Password Creator, there are 245 possible values for the parameter to get unlocked, as well as it has an option to dedicate extra memory bit to it, which adds *2 more possibilities for each memory bit. with 12 bits, that's 3920 possibilities. There's also a system in place to immediately lock case you mess with the cached parameters if it's not the exact unlock value.

[drowsy star]

Then you reset avatar and try again. lol You know the lock is a gimmick.

If it's on a private avatar it makes 0 sense.

[abstract pond]

For how long? Not really it does offer a fair amount of protection, and it's not its only use case its public

[drowsy star]

If it's on a public avatar, then it's not to be taken seriously anyway.

[abstract pond]

It does offer protection on Private avatars as well if you've heard about that one feature, which is now apparently on more than one client

[drowsy star]

That one client.

[abstract pond]

Yeah, can't really talk about it too much on here as per the server's rule

[drowsy star]

If someone wants the avatar, they'll get the avatar.

[abstract pond]

If they were smart enough for it yeah, you think people that do use these clients are bright?

Some maybe, but for the most part nah

[drowsy star]

The whole security thing is really up to VRC to implement. Anything we do will be a joke and kind of a wasted effort.

So if you wanted to make avatars more fun by adding unlockables, fine, but trying to seriously add security is kind of folly.

[abstract pond]

Not if it's put in the right place but I do agree with the fact that VRC should take it upon themselves to improve the security

A Password lock is no where near how secure you can actually make the avatar

[storm pier]

wrong place to be discussing passcodes 👀

[abstract pond]

My apologies, I'll brick myself

[storm pier]

been trying to move the convo to #avatar-general

[atomic rover]

I read those anyway.👍

[steady wharf]

pretty cool avatar, however, you should now expect a few people to tell you how you're using this channel incorrectly, as this is meant to be a channel to show off 3.0 features

[wooden portal]

Ah

[steady wharf]

#vrchat-pictures might be better

idk

[wooden portal]

I'm just gonna not. I've apparently posted in the wrong place 3 times I give up.

[storm pier]

Avatars 3.0 Features, where are they at?

[lyric vessel]

This channel has been renamed to #avatar-showcase , and the channel description has been changed:

Show off your Avatars 3.0 creations! Please limit chat in here to the absolute minimum.

• This channel is for showing off your Avatars 3.0 avatar.
• It does not matter if your AV3 avatar can do something that AV2 can't do, or that an AV2 avatar can do what your AV3 avatar can do. That's irrelevant.
• Ideally, this channel should be used to show off novel or interesting Avatar 3.0 features, and not just avatar models. However, as long as it was built using Avatars 3.0, it is fine.
• That being said, if someone wants to show off something they modeled and it isn't evident if they used AV2 or AV3, don't be a jerk about it, just appreciate their hard work.

Moderators will remove any off-topic posts in this channel and may moderate users that post off-topic in here repeatedly.

[storm pier]

@steady wharf It has finally happened, we won

[steady wharf]

lol

did we really tho

[fierce scaffold]

(no)

[steady wharf]

is the one word change enough to not get people to post non avatar 3.0 related stuff here?

[storm pier]

what matters is that mods have noticed

[fierce scaffold]

tupper clarified in #vrchat-general-2 and said as long as it's made with sdk3 its technically okay, but as we've been saying ideally it'd be something cool and unique to av3.

[storm pier]

Well that's kind of the point really, just posting a picture of your avatar is pretty vague on what you're showing off. But as long as moderators will be watching it more is a win in my book.

[fierce scaffold]

well, i think they're watching now because some people were being super rude about people posting pics of stuff they're proud of because it's "not special enough"
moving to #avatar-general

[woeful brook]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3go4UEYss0

[bright pelican]

Ok, this change cool, but i don't think it's gonna work properly without avatar-showoff channel, there's still only one showoff/showcase channel for other avatars

[abstract pond]

I do think that having AV-3-Features and then AV-Showoff will have much clearer purpose but if they're willing to moderate the confusion then that's cool

[restive prairie]

Here's my first paid release, a Manokit species

Mods should probably pin this or something for future reference to everyone else.

Tl:dr Both 2.0 and 3.0 welcome, 3.0 features prefered

[fierce scaffold]

o hey that's me

at least the fighting in here stopped lol

[woeful brook]

https://tenor.com/view/why-arewe-still-here-mgs-video-game-helicopter-gif-17583797

[drowsy star]

Pretty sure he means he doesn't care if the thing you're showing is something you can already do on 2.0 or not. Just that it be a 3.0 avatar and it'd be nice if it was actually showing 3.0 things.

[storm pier]

This is what im talking about though. 👀

Mods could probably agree that this is not only acceptable, but this is a bit ridiculous which is why they're keeping a closer eye on it. The tomatoes and bricks were my idea, yes. Which I apologized for, but the other reactions are a bit more unnecessary and drive people away.

But hey, just my opinion 🤷

[old jewel]

"a bit more unnecessary"? What about your brick reactions though? 😂

[fierce scaffold]

they are breaking rules by advertising, but yeah doing that is uncool

[marble needle]

Made a nice little animation segment for my sniper rifle!

[woeful brook]

it aint gay if u have socks on

[storm pier]

"The tomatoes and bricks were my idea, yes. Which I apologized for, but the other reactions are a bit more unnecessary and drive people away" I never denied it. Also I didn't contribute to this one. 👀

Don't pick and choose a few words from a sentence or two to quote.

[dusty coral]

Kindly guys, keep convos minimum to none, if you don't like a picture, I suggest the tomatoes. or thumps-up if the good stuff appear.
No complaints about not 3.0 "Features".
only explanations on how the magic works of the showoff.

[fast rivet]

The brick is funny not going to lie

[oblique agate]

manokits are so cute ><

[restive prairie]

I love this discord to death but this specific channel is uh

[lime zinc]

Well, if you look at the quality of posts from a few months ago, you'd have seen a lot more of "features" and cool ideas that were only possible with 3.0.
I believe that was the true intend behind the channel.

It's only natural that people get salty when the channel gets flooded with low effort screenshots and advertisements.

[fierce scaffold]

you're also not supposed to advertise on this discord lol

[restive prairie]

my mistake, I have removed the link

[old jewel]

I wonder, is this a prop from the map/world or actually a prop from the avatar

[drowsy haven]

[drowsy haven]

Looks great! You gonna put a working scope on that bad boy?

[marble needle]

maybe when i figure out how

[drowsy haven]

Camera, and render texture

you can even animate the FOV with a slider to have adjustable zoom

Or do a thermal (x-ray) scope by singling out the player layer

Like this

[marble needle]

Oh dang.

Can you send me an example of how to set that up?

[upper field]

^ Sorry to disappoint you tomato throwers but if you look there is a youtube link that actually does showcase 3.0 features on the avatar
(They should have embedded it probably ||(they couldn't because embedding permission is not enabled on the channel)|| but yeah - that youtube video actually shows off things)

[copper dirge]

We need to stop with the tomatoes already, if someone posts something off-topic, ignore it and let the mods handle it.

[upper field]

Yeah as much as i agree with that - the only problem is we already had quite a few posts not related to it but nothing happened with them, they don't seem to be moderated
(Though if people would be throwing tomato's and whatnot at least don't hit people that are not doing anything wrong with them - it just makes it feel like you don't actually care but just want to throw them at someone)

[fierce scaffold]

that was a pretty good video tbh, sorry about the nerds throwing tomatos

[hushed anchor]

Lol its fine. Just proud of my own work lol

YouTube video didn't embed for some reason

[fierce scaffold]

yeah it only embeds the first link you send, unless they're all photos i think

[hushed anchor]

I could repost it here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D9iK5Ug124

Nope lol

[upper field]

(oh i guess the team disabled embedding of links permission on the channel then, not their fault)

[hushed anchor]

Lol its ok

good work, even if i don't exactly enjoy that kind of asset design personally and whatnot it is still a pretty good work, good job

[short belfry]

Maybe this channel wouldn't be so dead if people didn't look down on people just wanting to show their avatar creations.

[lyric vessel]

~~This is incorrect. I should clarify:

• This channel is for showing off your Avatars 3.0 avatar.
• It does not matter if your AV3 avatar can do something that AV2 can't do, or that an AV2 avatar can do what your AV3 avatar can do. You should not be posting AV2 avatars in here.
• Ideally, this channel should be used to show off novel or interesting Avatar 3.0 features, and not just avatar models. However, as long as it was built using Avatars 3.0, it is fine.~~

This has all been amended, please read the pins.

I will also note: Don't make a big stink over making sure stuff is AV2 or 3 or whatever. If people want to show off modeling something, let them. Jeez.

[short belfry]

Thank you for clarifying. Hopefully people can be more welcoming now.

[lyric vessel]

If all else fails I'll just change the channel name to avatar-showcase 😛

[short belfry]

That would probably be best tbh

@lyric shuttle If you're not already using Lyuma's emulator for AV3, you would probably really appreciate having it.

Just got done with shader shading stuff.

[drowsy star]

Heat resistant gloves or robo hands! Barrels are pretty hot once fired!

Shifting animations are neat. Good job.

Reminds me of how I'd planned on doing some intense shape key transformation on my characters at some point. Constraints make so much possible.

I mean there are alot more female than male avatars for sure

I'm not a big fan of super trippy looking avatars/psychedelic

People: How many feature you have in your avatar?
Me: Yes

[woeful brook]

Me: Probably going to get perf blocked anyways with Very Low performance rating

[atomic rover]

I'm currently sitting at Medium perf too

[old jewel]

Me: 1 Dynamic bone on 1 tiny detail
SDK: Poor, 51 bone collision count
And I'm not joking.

[weak valley]

Well merge those bones and have less collision checks

press buttons in CATS until avatar gud

testing out how standard shader fallback looks on pc (left) and the quest version (right)

quest version baked at 7500 tris (new quest excellent limit) using CATs bake

also, PC version is also baked using CATs at 32k tris (pc excellent) 😄

original model is sitting at 82k tris for reference, so it's a pretty nice baking result

[hazy ocean]

Cally3Ds model, but im making it pennywise

[hazy ocean]

can it go faster? cause that could scare people even more 😈 great avatar! 👍 😀

[drowsy topaz]

The legs can only go so fast which is relative to the size of the leg, could probably speed it up some, just have to experiment

[hazy ocean]

ah ok, still looks really good! Just imagining that running at top speeds 😂

[drowsy star]

Using root motion?

[drowsy topaz]

Yeah using the fixed joint to child bullshit

Guess not technically "root motion"

[drowsy star]

Every time I see a pet I'm reminded to duck my head and get back into blender. I'm making a fully functional NPC, but only if I suck it up and use a from scratch model. My rules. 😩

[drowsy topaz]

I'll probably do another version using a ray cast to point the vrlabs follower around, problem with all these constraint based world stuff is the jitter is so annoying. Wish we had a legitimate way to do world based stuff

[drowsy star]

Well, you can have absolute positioning if you keep the pet within a range. Probably what I'll do.

Max sync.

[drowsy topaz]

More people that have random ass pets the better 👍

[drowsy star]

Pet will be a robot girl that gives hugs. 😏 👉 👉

[drowsy star]

Also, raycast would be a lot more accurate for sync due to netIK updating your wrist to everyone around you. So good idea.

[drowsy topaz]

Yeah I have not tested the root motion follower with other people and I bet its not going to be remotely synced at all lmao

[hazy ocean]

smol update, added his little neck puff thingy(cally3d model)

[oblique wolf]

took me 5 hours to make this work how i wanted but it was so worth it

[unborn marlin]

i m sure the mouth is inside

[unborn marlin]

yes its from vroid

[dire kite]

yea ripped from the platform without the authors permission and you are showing it off, saying ur friends and u made it lmao

[unborn marlin]

no Im sorry i made i mistake I meant me and my friend rig it

this one from mmd

idk why the mouth doesnt work

[dire kite]

yea but the Ina model is still stolen from VRoid lol whats ur point. If not u then one of ur friends ripped it from the platform

also flip the vertecies in the mouth or enable two sided in the shader

[unborn marlin]

all right thanks

[unborn marlin]

so what should I do then?

[dire kite]

fucking not use it for vrchat what

the model doesent belong to you

and ur showing it off all proud and shit

[unborn marlin]

okay

I will hide it

if that what makes you happy and satisfies you

[dire kite]

what would make me happy is if you and ur friends could stop stealing models from people and showing them off as ur own

the author took it down because if you

[unborn marlin]

okay then sorry idk about that

thanks for telling me

[waxen mirage]

any one got a vrchat avatar that hase a roller coaster

[main crag]

Wrong channel. #avatar-search-old

[deep talon]

@dire kite i’m very confused what went on here? you can use vroid models, so i’m unsure what the issue is? the op deleted the picture however, so i’m hoping you’ll elaborate? (my apologies for the @)

[old jewel]

Now I feel bad for believing that guy.

[dire kite]

it was a private model, exclusively featured on vroid hub. I contacted the original maker on twitter and he took the model off the platform out of fear that more people will rip it. So did many other artists as well now. But SnowCherry apolozied to the author, so this matter is resolved in my eyes.

[deep talon]

ah alright, that explains a lot! I’m sorry to hear that the author got their model ripped.

[dire kite]

Its allright, they care more about the security issues I brought up with vroid hub through this than their actual model and we're in contact with the devs to see if we can figure out how the model was ripped.
This matter seems to have opened a lot of peoples eyes on how unsave uploading your stuff to literally anything is

there will always be people stealing others work. Its just a very common thing in vrchat unfortunately

Anyways, here is this so we stay within the channel topic https://twitter.com/eN7ity/status/1373797615821848578?s=19

Not only in VRChat, I've seen many people do that in third party games.

[round zenith]

and every game to exist.

[molten moat]

My newest ^^

[harsh sapphire]

made my first avatars and it sucks

[bitter mist]

It’s a thing in life in general. Programs get cracked all the time and so do games.

[torn socket]

Use vroid mobile it’s easier to use

[timber edge]

https://prnt.sc/10yo15u

:v

[dry cave]

it's me, back at it again with the transforming weapons

[glacial pilot]

holy that’s awesome

[harsh sapphire]

the end feels like a threat

[weary sand]

Thats a fun point, when you see ppls saying shits like "vrchat is suck, the devs dont care about the game" but the real problem with vrchat are the ppls who play the game, peoplo without respect with artists just thinking about their own shits

Thats why ppls create fckn mods for vrchat, like why dude?

Just to steal avatars and sell like their own merchandise

Thats the big problem with vrc, arent the devs abandoned the game they need to waste time trying to improve the "security" system instead of making new content

Btw sorry if i say something wrong, english isn't my first language Pepehands

none

Each of those pieces are hand animated by me in unity

Ok...Now thats hot.

Got soem cool stuff going on with poiyomi dissolve

[drowsy star]

dedass made a domain to beg for a lawsuit, smh

Tda base edits aren't yours to sell. Make them from scratch if you want to make money off this.

To put it in perspective, if someone reported you and they went through with filing against you, I'm sure any profits you made would be dwarfed by the fine. It's better you just didn't.

[fast rivet]

Me again. Here a prefab for locomotion/action layer. It prevent any issue you might have got with the default one. You can change any animation with your own. You can even have a custom pose for the avatar in the menu by changing the animation in the first state.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15TezWr-srzR0kas_FPHrQjC7nPg5d7mb

you can go crazy

[unborn marlin]

Alchemia story? Nice

[ocean hollow]

Updated my avatar to be more optimized and look better. I rarely post things here but I'm very proud of how it turned out

[storm pier]

[fast rivet]

@unborn marlin yes a lots of outfit and low poly. So perfect for the Quest. But I have to redo the weight paint and topology in joint / other edit to make them move and look nicer.

[drowsy star]

I like the whole torso. Segmenting looks good on the robo girls.

[gilded lintel]

Saigo can I DM you about the pen?

[drowsy star]

Oh buddy. VRLabs liked the concept and expanded on it quite a bit. It even has an installation script. You should check it out.

[gilded lintel]

oh? I'll check it out, on the git?

[drowsy star]

https://github.com/VRLabs/VRChat-Avatars-3.0#marker

[gilded lintel]

ah nice, I had done some local edits and wanted to package it for some friends, but I'll work off that. Still credit you because it was an amazing concept

did they get a trail renderer to work with a constrained space?

[drowsy star]

I don't think you can pull that off with a trail renderer component afaik.

Not in VRC anyway.

[unborn marlin]

This is the npc right

[fast rivet]

Yes but modified to look younger

[tulip meadow]

how's this shader look? i worked pretty hard to get it semi-good looking, thoughts?

[drowsy star]

Black Cat isn't the best place to test shaders unless you're trying to make something with decent fallback properties.

[small brook]

not to be mean or anything but vroid kinda sucks if i was i would start looking into deviantart mmd bases

[odd burrow]

i mean yeah kinda,it's been such a pain up my ass trying to make it a good vrc avatar

[drowsy star]

I mean TDA isn't allowed in VRC anyway. So I'd say if you wanted to future proof against a potential reckoning, Vroid would be much better.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If VRC decides to cover their own butts one day and start wiping all of the tda stuff from the platform, it'll be sad for all the eboys and egirls.

[drowsy topaz]

IMO if it was Vroid vs DA, Vroid wins. DA has so much trash on it you spend more time fixing than creating

[drowsy star]

Also true. Topology is kinda stinky. Rigging can be pretty stinky. Materials and textures stinky.

[drowsy topaz]

Its a good way to learn what NOT to do at least

[last granite]

nicee, mind sharing how you set up the glowing parts of this?

[ashen jewel]

So close, but still so far!
I kind of knew that making your first avatar from scratch is not easy, especially when you need to learn how to use blender and then Unity.. !
But Im littlebit proud of my self how everything looks now, even though its not finished yet!
But It feels goood when you can say you have made everything on that avatar by your self! ❤️
(Open original, so you can see something)

[dusky timber]

What are some good resources and videos you used? @ashen jewel

[ashen jewel]

Everything what I could find from google and youtube! This discord is also pretty good. But lots of trial and error. I have just went one step at the time and just learned and searched stuff what I dont know. Its really time consuming when you dont have one tutorial or guide, how to get everything to work and there is always some issues what you will have that wont happen in tutorial.
Remember to save different versions of your work, so you can always go back if you do something wrong! Look reference when modelling, Its really hard to get anything to look natural if you arent pro sculpter
When I get this ready and I have learned how this whole progress works, I might even do some video series about this topic. There is good videos on youtube, but I want something plane and simple with all details and I havent found it yet. (Maybe just google doc file so its easy to follow! )
Time and patience is your best friends! If you dont know something or you are not good at some things, it just takes more time to get there!
Be realistic,
If you want to make your first avatar from scratch, dont rush it, It will take time and its not ready for next weekend. If you want to get something fast, you can pay for it or learn how to do it faster!

I dont know if this helped anything, I have just googled stuff and asked from people if I havent found solutions!

Edit:
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2EEbgwoJzdt5kFVDyY2lliNqf7cWJeD3
this is pretty good, Just found it!
Hah, hope I have found this earlier.. 😄

The only thing i disagree with this is the video, i would recommend you to watch a more detailed tutorial

Hang on, how do you do a custom fallback avatar? It looked like you can only select the default ones rather than from your own creations ingame.

You gotta mark it as a fallback in the SDK (has to be at least Good rank to qualify)

Nah, doesn't fit the forumula.

[lyric shuttle]

So this is an attempt at merging an ammo system with a charge system

[storm pier]

Good job, but I feel as if this could be cleaned up significantly using parameter drivers

[lyric shuttle]

...paramater drivers?

[storm pier]

Pretty much having a parameter created to count how many times it passes through before it triggers another animation which then you can have another parameter driver that resets mentioned parameter

I have some screenshot examples of a six shooter

[lyric shuttle]

That would be really nice

I've been doing ammo systems manually and it's been agonizing so if there's an easier way to do it...

[lyric shuttle]

Oh it's a legit script, huh...

[storm pier]

Potentially it's a single parameter called reload. When you do your gun fire animation the parameter driver ticks the reload parameter until it hits a specified number. Once that number has been met, it then changes to the "out of ammo" click sound. And reload animation has a parameter driver that resets the reload parameter back to 0

And there's multiple transitions going into the gunfire animation to make sure it goes smoothly

[lyric shuttle]

That's significantly easier, thank you so much for telling me about this lol

I'm gonna be experimenting with this

[storm pier]

Yeah, parameter drivers can be fun and potentially with this you could sort of make things like a mana pool for a wizard among other things

[lyric shuttle]

I'm trying to devise how I would have a memory system too... I guess it's just inherent, right?

[storm pier]

🤷

[lyric shuttle]

I'll figure it out lmao

[storm pier]

This was just me reverse engineering how people set up their passcodes for avatars.

Parameter drivers come in handy

[steady wharf]

parameter drivers are also useful for doing exclusive toggles using bools rather than ints

you can put a parameter driver on a state to turn off the other toggles

[storm pier]

I use them for props and to make sure nothing overlaps myself

Also you can use those parameters to change hand gestures so you don't have to sacrifice any

[lyric shuttle]

It is inherent, I don't have to do any finicky shit anymore

You just shook my world dude holy fuck

[storm pier]

also I think this would also decrease the file size of the avatar, but im unsure of that

[lyric shuttle]

Potentially, but not really by much...

Potentially, but not really by much...

[lyric shuttle]

@storm pier It's not working for me, I set it up identically to the images...

[old jewel]

Man, I though about an ammo system long ago. And looks like you've done it faster than me. 😔

[lyric shuttle]

I did it months ago, just been making it feel nicer... I'm trying to figure out these parameter drivers, because they're just straight-up not working at all

[storm pier]

values just have to be tweaked and adjusted really, it's still an idea to show how it would work

finally..my first hair and eyes

[sweet verge]

Ah vroid, an experience for all

[brazen marlin]

A video (caught on quest standalone) of the items and view quest users see with my new combine metrocop model. It has pc and quest versions which are identical in terms of items and item positions when in use. the real neat part is though, quest users actually get guns that work! (the appearance of bullets does differ between platform for performance reasons). Ive put a lot into making this thing run well (its under 10 mb on pc, 6 on quest) yet has full quality textures and is fully functional! :D

(actual mat count is lower than it says because non existent, empty, unshown textures on particles still count as "slots")

(on pc the bullets look more or less similar to this with a few differences but i cant get on my pc right now to take pics so this should hopefully suffice)

[fringe ridge]

First VROID I made for VRchat

Cars

[drowsy haven]

Love the colors!

[south meteor]

so i used the best boy unity file as a template becouse i can't be arsed to state machine toggles and such for every one of my avis... I thought to myself what if i used the default bestboi animations on a completely diffrent model..it resulted in this rather funney dance that functions exactly like the bestboi version..im not Shure if this is impressive or concerning due to the implication that VRChat is speget code held together by toothpicks and glue.

You might want to make your boundary box bigger(Medium+) or the animator might not update for remote player

[south meteor]

nice :3 phias videos where what got me into avi createing my first model was a vroid.

its the jar

[woeful brook]

gosh..gonna repost soon after getting it into vrchat

[willow musk]

first avatar, face may need some work

[sweet verge]

The potty dance, a curse plaguing all vroid avatars lol

[long pelican]

probably a rigging issue? like bone rotations?

[sweet verge]

Yeah it's because vroids use generic rigs and VRChat likes humanoid rigs if I remember correctly

[woeful brook]

my vroid is in a humanoid rig? idk maybe he directly used the vrm file..instead of using the fbx version

anyways heres mine, still gotta update it especially i need to add back some animations and music and fix its veiw point

[south meteor]

halp i learned how to turn things into particles now im turning everything into particles :p

[lament tangle]

YOO that avatar looks so COOL-😩 👌

[marble temple]

first avatar :D
(pic not in vr because im too lazy to take screenshots there rn)

[south meteor]

thanks been my project for the past week im learning a ton./ After listening to the curruption mod sound track im like what would it actualy look like if fnf turned into a straight up anime or moive kinda like scot pilgrim did. Meaning im likely going to do something for boyfreind and the other characters if I get to it.

[restive pike]

(i made both of those avatars)

[tepid loom]

Image kinda sucks but here, witness. I have created an avatar with a light...without a light.
(No, this isn't a hack or mis-leading image, I left some of the light on the left of the stats thing to prove it sorta--you can even see its trickery failing a bit there because of the menu)
It was achieved with a very...extravagant shader I created. Simulating the effects of a light, without actually being one! It has a lot of limitations (most notably, it can't be used without the world having a directional light, and it breaks in mirrors), but hey, uh, no lights!

I just kinda wanted to share this because I spent a lot of time on this shader lol

[restive pike]

impressive!

[restive pike]

could you teach me how to make shaders?

[sonic ridge]

[steady wharf]

what are these for?

[fast rivet]

Mostly enable/disable parameter/tracking.

[weary sand]

Vroid do like 85% of the job

You do texture, hair and some other little stuf

You can see vroid models are kinda similar bc of that

[bleak cave]

potentially a little more variety compared to the MMD kitbash has that probably use the same face as they are facial Sliders in viroid

[random ibex]

^ No fuggin' doubt

[marble temple]

not sure why by it doesnt do that for me

Omg- do you wear fairy kei !?

I see you've entered my domain.

[mild cloak]

@sweet verge i needed help with stuff lol

[south meteor]

i think vrchat needs a neo mod senpi to add to the collection of senpis. I still havent decided what the sprit will look like though. Possibly a hologram or something

[sweet verge]

@mild cloak I see, I see.

[untold flower]

You can ask about it in #avatar-search-old i think 👉👈

OH SRY

i was in wrong

I want that :0

[sterile ruin]

I haven't put it in my Avatar world yet, you could probably find it if you use mod clients

[solid flint]

mods are against tos, would not recommend

[sterile ruin]

a fair point

[main crag]

Might wanna delete that message (or remove the mod name)

[sterile ruin]

Yeah, good call. Thanks.

Stiiiill not a good idea to reference mods at all.

Tanjiro expressions rough draft

[torpid sand]

Due to cally3d's avatars not being quest compatible and ventivr deleting everything FNF related inlcuding the tricky avatar

I decided hey ill make a tricky avatar and after a long time i finished him

Unlike the old one he has lip sync and mask toggle

This is pc and quest but i mainly did it for quest users like me

[south meteor]

I make all my stuff cross compatable i jsut wish i could do more cool things with quest avis but the sdk dont let that happen.

[sleek basin]

well im not going anywhere near that

[south meteor]

ahh ff7 just like i remember it :p "theres only one senpi that can weild that blade"

wait thats how it went right :p

Setting up a UV animated expression system, with blinking, full set of visemes and different eyes. This is still work in progress but everything works. The silent mouth also changes on few of the expressions!

I'm still gonna making normal face animations. This is just for the heck of it. Seeing how far I can go with the animators

Im remaking the Robo Fortune model from september last year

this is how its looking so far

[woeful brook]

it's a work in progress, but it's also my first avatar ever

[woeful brook]

have you tried triangulating the model? the same thing happened to me as well

[steady wharf]

triangulating won't help here

they just have WAY too many polygons

look at those fucking wheels

they are not black because of a texture
