So you're suggesting that HTC Vive in general is trash?

I've heard people say that Vive Pro isn't worth it, but that the Vive is still a good VR headset.

Why don't you like the Vive?

Hey Faggots,
My name is Dracula, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are fat, retarded, no-lifes who spend every second of their day shitposting about each other. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any pussy? I mean, I guess it's fun making fun of people because of your own insecurities, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than jerking off to pictures from the threads.
Don't be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I'm pretty much perfect. I was captain of the undead football team, and starter on my casketball team. What sports do you play, other than "jack off to fags with laggy FBT IK"? I also get straight A's, and have a banging hot girlfriend (She just headpatted me; Shit was SO cash). You are all faggots who should just kill yourselves. Thanks for listening.

So what is the best shader, and why is it actually mtoon when tuned correctly?

>>239123828
mtoon looks weird in vrchat doesn't it? Have you tried it in game?

>>239112514
Yes, if you play as a mute and use a snail marker only talk to mutes.

I know onward has fallen out of favor for you guys, but oculus is doing this event on the 5th and in my experience it's notoriously easy to get flown in to play on stage if you're even moderately good.
https://www.oculus.com/experiences/event/779649475716097/

>>239123828
post settings

>>239124163
>>239123983
>>239123828
yep, many times.
And no, not at all when it's done right.
It CAN look weird, but that's why you test with realtime lights as I have here.
The main thing that makes mtoon so special is that it closely mimics the default mmd4mechanim shaders and those that come with vrm, AS LONG AS YOU USE THE SAME RAMPS.
the other thing that makes it special is Z pass transparency, see attached.

>>239124314
Could you post your material settings pretty please?

>>239124163
>>239123983
so even with all the realtime lights off, this is how it will look.
>>239124163
In my next post.
Keep in mind, you can achieve this with xieie and moderately with noe's, but only the LIT version, not the toon shader version.
>>239124438
next post, that's what I'm building up to. :) Had to prove it first.
I spent a little bit of time last night working with a well done mmd and comparing the look with pure mmd, mmd4mech in unity, and lights to see where other shaders seem to go wrong - and the main reason why nothing seems to look as good as it does in vkatsu for example.

>>239124162
>Competitive league players are coaching their own team of rookies
I'm sure that would go well with /vrg/ meme strats.

>>239116004
I keep getting bursts of sudden overwhelming need/want talk to a person and interact with them and a week later that feeling is gone and I act like normal around them

>>239116004
Maybe they don't come online because they think no-one even cares that they're there.

Alright, so these particular settings work well if there's one directional or a mixed lighting setup with realtime in the scene. One realtime light is just fine for performance in a scene.
You may want to make another version of your avatar with things skewed towards a billboard static light for maps that have no realtime lights at all, but that's up to you. I think they look generally ok.
One more thing. Shaders with tons of parameters you're not using perform worse. Omnibus megashaders with tons of options cause a fair bit of load. Mtoon is quite reasonable but even this could be improved if a shader was built that ripped out just the relevant bits.
Either way, Z-transparency is one bit piece of the puzzle that makes other platforms look better. There's TONS of mmd that use it and for the most part, 99% of the time in vrchat it's set back to opaque by a less ideal shader like cubed's.
1) transparency with zwrite is basically cutout, but it allows for blended semi-transparent alpha channels without setting a cutoff, which is generally far better. For example, this avatar can blush correctly, I'll post a screenshot of that next.
2) shade colour. This is the colour that is blended for your shadow. For example, the underderside of her arms. You can use black, grey, blue here, but I find if you use a skintone, or whatever the main pallete is of the overall avatar it gives it a much more anime look, as generally in art, dark portions are shaded in a more flat way.
3) shading shift below 0 trends towards accepting the colour of world lighting. If you look back at >>239123828 you'll see that the LIT colour is blended with the green point light. How this works is defined by how much you do. More to the left, less realtime light pickup, more to the right, more. It allows for a static toon ramp as well as world lighting.
4) shading toony defines how much of a solid block the lit colour and shade colour ramp is. To the left is more like standard shader, a soft blend.

>>239116004
Maybe they don't come online because they want to avoid you.

I've got some time today, where are the EU boys at?

>>239125526
continued.
5) light colour attenuation determines how much the shadow ramp ignores or picks up on the realtime world lighting. for example, unlike the screenshot in >>239123828
by setting it to 1, it applies the LUMINANCE but not the colour of this red light
6) gi intensity is a bit easier to understand, it's a multiplication of the global illuminance of whatever map you're on. Any higher than 0.1 and you'll be way too bright compared to other people. Useful if you're a bit more on the toon lit side and you're too dark in some places, though.
Useful for other effects however, like glowing things or things that should be drawn attention to.
Now, if you have them, emissions and matcap can enhance this even further, and this shader supports it.
Also the outline settings I've shown here are good.

>>239126349
Come back in at least 5 hours

>>239126419
Now, this isn't a magic bullet, but the main reason I'm posting this here is because there's way too many billboard static lit avatars. I've seen a few of you that took the time to do a matcap or are using standard specular setups to achieve better looking avatars that don't stand out oddly in a scene with lighting. I've been lazy in the past and i'm guilty of this on occasion. Now that we have more freedom with our models, it's good to know a bit on how worlds can light them.
Even if you don't use mtoon, many shaders have the same parameters though often named differently.
picture:
Note that now that lightcolor attenuation is back to zero, the blue spotlight mixes with the lit/alpha and shad colours to give you BOTH a toon look and a realtime lit look. It's even better with a matcap and normal map!

I hope I helped!

Friendmaking in VRC is hard because the bulk of us are socially retarded and want the people we want to be friends with to interact with us first without realizing that they are just as socially retarded and are wishing the same. Make the first move more and you might have better results.

>>239127091
looks good doesn't it?
just install univrm. https://dwango.github.io/en/vrm/univrm/univrm_install/
bonus round, this is xiexe's shader, comparing a dual lit/shade pass with rimlight. I really think mtoon looks a lot better, but many of you claim you can achieve the same mixed look with it, which, I have not seen at all without significant detail normals
even noe's lit w/ transparency is missing a full z test.

Keep trying. Friendmaking is a numbers game. Think of how many people you've met over your life compared to how many have actually been a friend. It's a pretty big difference (especially if your friend count is zero!), so try not to get too down about it.

VR esports is in it's infancy. I would love to play in something semi-professionally and make bank before I'm too old to be competitive.
I was too old to catch the esports wave but I had been doing small local tournaments and WINNING for YEARS, but back then the idea of video games as a spectator sport was laughable.

>>239129147
Because I'm better at it. I know that if I joined a competitive team for Contractors I'd be able to at least pull my own weight if not carry regularly, and that cash prize would be ours.

sometimes it's just timing. that happens to me a fair bit, people who are not on often end up vying for attention all over the place and it sucks.

>>239131287
you may want to try setting a time to hang out with the person if you're interested in hanging out, "catching" someone online is tough. Plus if they're inebriated or otherwise they can be socially odd without intending to be, I know I can be.
>>239130426
You're mistaking lack of skilled players for your personal skill. Once there's a competitive league you'll be facing off against people tryharding at your own skill level or better, and you'll feel the same way.
It's actually far better to play against other highly skilled players so you yourself improve in those situations than shitting on basically casuals and newbs and thinking you're god.

Great, now I feel guilty about even approaching people.

>>239132390
I already play against some of the best guys in the game, deliberately. A lot of former semipro Onward guys play Contractors now and they're fucking fast. Getting a stock helped even the odds since most of them use one too for target transitions. I also have a long speed shooting background so getting those ultra fast headshots is something I'm particularly good at, while the remainder of the game is map knowledge and communication. Even on an abysmal round I still go positive. I'd be interested in seeing what my career KD/R is, because I've hardly ever gone negative. I'm at the point where I have a reasonable expectation of being able to kill someone who ambushes me from the side or back with a carbine before they can get the 3rd or 4th round into me. If they're a G3 main it depends on if they've set up for that 2shot. I'm also within spitting distance of most of the training stage leaderboards and I'm gonna make a few more attempts today. The training range is actually fucking fantastic for training, whoda thunk?

If I have to guess, you're trying to get the attention of the wrong people.

Share your interests. Contribute to conversations you can key into. Some people are more or less receptive, and there's a subset of players that won't give you the time of day until a conversation draws attention away from them.

you can toss in a non-spr matcap though, which is probably what you want!
picture attached is how shade shift changes an avatar's shading.

>>239137174
The major problem I find is none of them have any form of manual input, just animations, which doesn't provide the greatest presence. The closest I've found is writhing play, where you move the controller with the trigger held to control the animation, but it is extremely inconsistent and it uses a horrible 180 degree render so you can't actually look around or move properly.

Alright, so I am going to be booting up the forest server again. After some experimentation on how to build outside of the normal boundries, found a way to build in a sort of floating fashion. We now have two elevators that can carry 5-6 log carts of logs up to the top. Going to plant the artifact and try and draw out more cannibals for bone armor.

Thoughts on these or any recommendations?

Huh, I'd have figure Bethesda would do that after they added Rift support to Skyrim/FO4.

>>239146773
VR in Payday 2 may as well be gameshark cheats with how they implemented it. At the least, they should have you see a physical body below you (regardless of whether it matches up against the ingame model for the other players seeing you) and also use that to gauge line-of-sight checks against.

>>239136107
Weirdly enough only one of them I wanted to fuck, all of the others I just felt like I wanted to be with.
But infatuation would make sense, rather weird though, that is.

>>239144469
even if you rip the game assets you probably won't rip the compiled shaders or anything.
unless the creator put their project files on github or something doing that is a lot more difficult than you would think.

if you put an animation in the run override, vrchat ignores all bone transforms that aren't part of the mecanim rig, but if you put that same animation in the idle override vrchat will happily play all transforms.

Is there any way around this? I've got extra non-rig bones I want to animate during movement without resorting to dynabones. This was possible with legacy animations, but they're now gone.

>>239146767

>>239148896

>>239147332
it's not toon shaded, though. It's a combined hybrid material shader with a dual illumination, matcap AND a shadow ramp, z-test transparency and extremely nice layering.
also 114k poly is next to nothing outside of vrchat.
even inside vrchat, if you're assuming "good" ranked avatars between 35k and 50k, that's 2.5 players. It's one material, and one mesh.
It's 1.5 players worth of rendering overhead if they're at 70k poly. Nothing else is unoptimized.
Honestly, if I was doing it, avatar ranking should be based on the room itself.
specular gi reflections and cast/receive shadows on a room with that kind of lighting is going to be far worse compared to a shader that doesn't have those things.
even on the xiexe shader it's warned about since it tanks performance.
having to bounce off a non-static entity with realtime gi lighting bounce causes so many issues in a room full of people.
literally no problem for 5-10 though.

>>239149621
That sounds like an expensive shader, especially on idiots who don't lower their avatars to 1-2 materials at most.

I thought unity's "realtime computed GI" was only diffuse/indirect stuff and light probe updates from static emissive materials e.g. the theater screens, no dynamic objects. Do you mean the specular highlights from realtime lights?

When you consider that AAA "hero" models are ~50-80k and characters made for online play are usually 12-30k I would say anything above 100k is a bit excessive unless you really need that dense mesh for deformations.

I agree, performance should be rated based on the room as well, it's retarded how maps get a free slap on the wrist, you could have a map that is 2.5mil triangles for no fucking reason at all when it could be 1/4th of that.
Now accounting for that, let's say you have a 1060 ti for example, it can handle X amount of triangles before it starts struggling, you have a map that fills 90% of that budget, now you cannot afford to have player characters above a specific tri budget because it'll just shit itself.
Thus maps should get a performance rating because only then you could weigh in the performance cost of an avatar.

Going back to the tri count rant, you could say that I'm just a /3/fag stuck in the 2008 - 2012 era.
My point is that there are anime models that have unnecessarily dense face meshes and dense flat surfaces where they shouldn't be.
I don't have a coal powered PC but I am the kind of person who is impressed by <20k polycount avatars that fool you into thinking they're higher quality just through their texture quality alone.
I love the idea of doing more with less.

Adding to that, considering how much VRC is CPU dependent, you can say fuck all to that because no matter what you do, you're still fucked by the fact that the game is running on a single core.
Makes me feel like time spent optimizing an avatar is just time wasted.

>>239152106

Tupper says it doesn’t run on 1 core, but it’s probably disinfo like when he shills the Pug as optimized.

>>239152412
Embedding an audio clip into the map is lightweight at runtime and is good for ambiance and sometimes background music. vrc_syncplayer is a fair bit heavier, but doesn't bloat the map size since the audio is streamed (from wherever you have it hosted), the playback is actually synced between players (doesn't matter as much for background music, but for dancing), and you can use one of the custom url prefabs so the room master can switch the audio to a custom source if they want.

>>239151381
let's say, for example you have a realtime light in the scene (or a couple).
on this shader, you can decide how much colour attenuation on the model you want or don't want from the scene lights. It gets the intensity value, and applies it to a double predefined color light and shadow ramp, while also blending realtime lighting onto the texture. It's glorious, because next to zero available shaders can do both a toon ramp that isn't static AND receive colour from realtime lighting, AND cast shadow on itself.
what it does not do, however, is allow bounce from realtime lighting off ITSELF into itself, which many shaders actually do, unity's default specular setup for example, and xiexe's can be told to do that too, as well as subsurface scattering, which looks great but is hard on gpus.

>>239153104
It runs on multiple cores but there's very little on the other cores, almost everything is one one. They probably plan to spread it out over time but it's not as easy as flicking a switch saying this goes on this core etc.

>>239153259
you have to do it right. Rogue's club map was laggy as hell even though he's godlike when it comes to map optimization and it was all due to audio optimization, which he had never worked with before.
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-AudioSource.html
you can ignore the android part, but the settings below will use around 5mb of ram, whereas the default unity settings will use around TWO HUNDRED MB of ram.

I rarely see anyone in /vrg/ have excellent rated avatars.
I can't blame anyone, retopology is probably the most boring thing you can do unless you're an autist and you love that sort of thing.
I do get upset when people don't even care to merge the same materials though, seeing someone with 34 materials really makes me question if they're really that lazy or ignorant.
I hide avatars that are expensive so this is a non-issue.

>>239153762

>>239153520
>allow bounce from realtime lighting off ITSELF into itself,
I don't understand this part still. I've never seen unity's standard shader actually do self-reflections, unless you count realtime reflection probes.Any sort of realtime bounce raytraing like that, I only know about https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/LightMode-Realtime.html aka the enlighten stuff, which is only on static stuff with the precomputed lightmaps.
> subsurface scattering, which looks great but is hard on gpus.
Is it? I assumed that the "subsurface scattering" in xiexe was just a BRDF tweak to add a highlight color to mostly perpendicular normals when backlit, sort of like a rimlight. Doesn't seem particularly hard to calculate in that way.

Tupper isn't perfectly well-informed, and in a lot of cases he's going off of his own imperfect end-user experiments, like the rest of us. It's far more common for someone to just be slightly wrong than for them to actively deceive you.

>>239154363
>rtopology automation
Please explain, this sounds promising

>>239154363
>rtopology automation
What did you use to automate low poly model creation? I know of a few methods but I'm interested.
Also you should try and bake the missing details with a normal & ambient occlusion map.

>>239127323
Yes

>>239155316
using normals and occlusion maps is a brilliant way to improve fidelity overall on lowpoly, matcap too.
>>239155242
>>239155316
https://en.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.64/Bsurfaces_1.5
semi automated. A lot easier than building a mesh to shrinkwrap onto the original though.

>>239157716
I've used Bsurfaces before but retired a while ago, I do retopo manually using this tool:
https://github.com/CGCookie/retopoflow
(it's free if you download it as zip because it's under a GPL license, otherwise it's ~$80)

I'll revisit blender surfaces again because it's a useful modelling tool as well.

It creates a new mesh, overlayed over the original that separate from it, this means that you will have to unwrap the model yourself, bake the textures from the original onto it, including everything else.
Though stepping into this territory is not what a newbie or someone who just wishes to get an avatar into VRC should do.
I'm yet to try out 3dcoat's auto-retopo tools, they're great from what I've heard and require very little configuration.

Person with shit internet here.
I would appreciate it if map makers embed their audio into the map instead of streaming it.
It adds too much bandwidth on top of loading other players' avatars that I get stuck on a loop of disconnecting and reconnecting to a room.

My model's .fbx file jumped at some point from 3MB to 9MB for some reason with no apparent big changes that would make that. Does anyone know what the reason could be? I frankensteined with old versions but I deleted all the previous meshes

>>239134328
>>239139268
Not OP, but here's an example of what you can do with Cubed MMD (picture related)
>>239134512
>Texture
keep the box next to it white unless you want to chance the texture's colour
>Toon texture or sphere
from 0.01 to 1.0 depending on personal preference
>Toon texture or sphere
usually around 1.0
>Custom Normal Map
yes make your own, it's retarded easy and there's plenty of free programs/websites for making one
>Outline
optional, anything between 0.0 (to make the texture double sided with no outline) and 0.3.
MMD Cubed is easy to use
>>239139695
that's not MMD Cubed, anon

>>239160929
>Cubed MMD
Where the fuck do you download this shader? I can't find it for my life. The github page is only "Cubed"

>>239112514
I've met a few people that through custom animations on their hands can sign in vr. It's a free game so go ahead and look for some people like this!

>>239146767
If the enemy multiplier mod works with it, play serious sam 3 vr with me later.

>>239160929
Cubed MMD is based on an ancient version of Cubed and renders outlines between random polygons sometimes. It becomes apparent on certain maps and makes it look like your face is fracturing.

>>239127323
I know people who've done this, although I am unsure how myself.

Anyone played Eve: Valkyrie? Is it worth picking up?

>people shilling cubed mmd
>nobody says where to get it
What's the point?

>>239162854
It's in the thread archives if you search for it; I've only ever found it that way.
It's not worth it though.

>>239162474
Yes. No.
I played it when it was first released and it was kind of cool back then but at this point it's not worth it. And the worst thing about it is that it had a ton of potential to be really cool. But then they fucked up by leaving it as basically just another multiplayer game instead of extending the narrative and experience that they showed in trailers and the intro sequence, which was actually really cool to experience.

>>239162202
I've literally never seen this happen.
>>239162854
Unironically ask in discord, or if someone feels like uploading here. It just got passed around amongst a few VRC groups. IIRC it's an edit of old cubed by some guy named Kaj that merges in the MMD sphere and toon ramp functions. It just works.

>>239163080

How would I go about ripping avatars? I found a really nice avatar on a pedestal and I would like to modify it, is there any way to do that?

>>239168561
Because >>239125526:
>Shaders with tons of parameters you're not using perform worse. Omnibus megashaders with tons of options cause a fair bit of load.

You can have a couple materials on your model with different shaders as appropriate and they might perform better than one material with a big do-everything shader.

>>239125526
I feel like using a flesh tone toon ramp works well for anime skin, while a grayscale toon ramp works well for clothes and hair.

>>239168909
indeed it does! 2-4 materials is fine, separating skin and clothing has a huge impact on how good something looks since you can use an appropriate matcap.

>>239168665
Most avatar worlds have the creator's discord. Just message them and ask for it.

>>239168561
That's what poiyomi's shader does and it's one of the most poorly performing shaders out there. More keywords = bad frames

>>239169023
Large and giant should have been in the same category desu

>>239169545

>>239169890
>>239169607
Dividing large/medium gives an advantage to small. Small covers everything from a little smaller than average to absolutely nothing. If you wanted to be completely fair, you'd divide small and completely flat.

>>239169697
How does that stop someone from creating for example a plugin that cuts up a shader intelligently?

So I figured out why this was happening and I think this is something important everyone should know since some people have very poor internet and we should aim to optimize our avatars as much as possible.

All that you've done in blender with your model(frankensteining, importing an older version because you fucked up your shapekeys, adding new textures) leaves unused textures in the UV/Image editor menu. To delete them do pic related

My model just went from almost 10MB to 2MB. Don't forget to also crunch your textures in unity

>>239176435
I like how this orbit has particularly high eccentricity. It's a nice touch.

>>239176693
uhhhh, what? Pretty sure the only thing that gets added to vrchat is what is linked in the scene, and configured as an instance of the prefab, and when you export from cat's blender plugin only what is attached to the model is present.
You can see what ACTUALLY gets uploaded by right clicking the object/prefab and clicking export. That dialog is essentially what gets compressed into a vrca and uploaded to amazon s3.

Pic related. All the pre atlased textures all still there despite me only using one in the model. The model itself has 3 materials which all use the same atlas texture but when I export it the fbx file is 10MB. After deleting all the texture instances(or whatever they are called) in the UV image editor from pic related and exporting it the fbx file only weights 2MB

How do you break it to a friend that their vrfu is cheating on them whilst they are away?

>>239178063

I'm willing to entertain you're correct but if the files are not present anywhere in unity they can't contribute to the fbx in any way if you choose to use legacy materials system.

I don't gain anything for ""winning"" an anonymous discussion. I only care about the truth if it turns out I'm wrong then even better for I'd have learnt something

I just tried switching to legacy material system with the old 10mb fbx file and the size remains the same. I'm unaware if vrchat only updates the parts(?) it needs from the fbx file or if it just straight up uploads the fbx file so I do this just in case(and because it reduces the size in the unity project itself too)

>>239178732
It's not about the materials. If I export the model from that pic I sent, the fbx file only has 3 materials(as it should), but it must carry some hidden information shit from those unused textures for some reason I don't know since removing them from the uv image editor reduces the size of it by 80%

>>239179112
that's really strange. Could be a metadata compression thing.
As far as I know, Vrchat only gets the stuff referenced in the scene. It creates it's own prefab which is encrypted and uploaded to their servers.

I'm usually better at sussing people out, but we were hanging out in a pretty immature crowd, was kinda fun talking total bullshit for a while.
Don't usually meet up alone with people to avoid this exact shit.
Still love VRChat though, just waltzing into any room, joining a huddle of users, ask some questions to get people talking and then bang out 5 minutes of standup, get a few yucks and showered in friend requests.
Feels great.

>>239177763

There's another that's been confused for me before.

>>239179360
Definitely importing Pohatu

>>239179995
I think I've found out why. I tried adding just the single atlas I was using in blender instead of deleting everything in the size is back to 10MB. I think the texture must be going inside the fbx somehow? The sizes add up if you sum the size of the atlas and the size of the fbx file without anything

As I was writting this I did another test and I figured out the reason was in the fbx export settings. Checking the box from pic related keeps the size at 2MB despite having the texture in blender.

Since you seem to know a lot about this stuff. Do you know why some of my bones get randomly rotated when I import a fbx file to unity that I had previously exported from a blender file? Maybe it has to do with the export settings too?

>>239180940
Correct!
Usually that's checked by default, I'm surprised yours isn't.
The bone rotations (usually on eyes) happen on a reimport, it just doubles up the math. Usually you need to redo the visemes/eyes and redo "fix model" especially if you do an armature merge. on something that was previously in cats.
FBT fix can make for bad things but hotox just released another update to the dev branch today that is supposed to fix some of that as well as invisible textures.

>>239181301
I've just noticed that one worked because I didn't have the armature selected so it only imported the mesh but pic related seemed to finally do the trick

>>239182393
Or you could just use literally any non-anime public avatar and be interesting enough to talk to.
A pretty, gimmicky or effects laden avatar are not a substitute for a fun personality.

Your criteria would block even people that apply those quotes in clever ways or make their own avatars from the ground up.

>what life is like for them and the ways in which our countries are different
Telling someone about that is simply a report. Reports on facts hardly require any creativity. The only creative choices in making a report are in the selection of material and in the way of delivery

The funny thing is, that's the same for roleplaying - the creative choices lie mostly in the selection of what to include in your roleplay and how to deliver it.

But your fundamental hidden premise that people who like to "scream" (= spam animations), "quote" (= roleplay or simply like media) or "rely on gimmicks" (= do the former a lot) don't want to simply talk, too, is wrong in the first place, in my opinion.

>>239186549
>"scream" (= spam animations)
In what fucking universe
Screaming is screaming you autistic fuck. It involves being an annoying faggot with your irritating shrill voice that nobody asked to hear.

>>239186549
>Telling someone about that is simply a report. Reports on facts hardly require any creativity.
I appreciate that you've calmed down but man, this is absolutely an aspergers assessment of smalltalk.

Yeah, that's fair enough but it's not that I think they can't do both, I realise they're people too with their own shit going on.
It's that if they scream, spam animations and roleplay as characters for attention, I'm not inclined to interact with them at all, it's a dealbreaker for me.

Check the fbx import settings did you change anything? Try hitting the default settings button

>>239189658
In Blender or Unity? The export settings in Blender are the same ones copied from Tupper's megavideo. I tried exporting another avatar and it works perfectly fine. It's just this one avatar. To import I just drag and drop the fbx file into Unity.

>>239190043
Blender. Tupper's settings should work. Maybe you copied them wrong. Try with the default ones and if it still doesn't work try exporting the fbx to your desktop or wherever and then try to open it with blender to see if it's a unity problem or if the problem is in blender itself

Anyone know why I sometimes lose the ability to walk in VRchat?
Using a vive, randomly in a world I lose the ability to walk until I move to a new world or reload., trackpad still works since I can use it to get off of chairs.

>>239194414
Last Stand has multiplayer? The impression I got was Fusion downloaded its own versions of the games it detects you own on Steam, and had separate multiplayer lobbies from the individual releases.

>>239192115
I might try and host something in The First Encounter next week. Apparently it goes up to 16 players in a single co-op game, should be pretty fun.

no...gotta rebuy them which isn't great. but the port is fantastic and the VR bundle price is pretty good

>>239195468
I already own the VR versions via the sale, that's what I'm getting at though. Fusion should be able to run them all within a single engine rather than the separate releases which have their own lobbies.

Not directly related to VR but have a look at this https://grail.cs.washington.edu/projects/wakeup/

It's turning a single image of a person or anything resembling a person into a 3D model, rigging it, giving it bones, and then animating it. It's actually kind of magical and the ones generated from abstract art look pretty awesome even at this early stage.

There is nothing like dogfighting in space.

That's just basic combat, overall the whole game has a lot more and pretty good.

Welp, back to flat lit toon for this one I guess. And to be honest, I think a bunch of people could go back to flat lit toon too. A lot of models just don't look good with actual shading and shadows. They don't look great depending on the environment with flat lit toon either, but I think it's the better trade-off.

Eva episodes?

Avatar rankings are a complete meme. I tried to see what effect blocking each tier had in public worlds. Blocking everything down to 'good' had no effect, so I just blocked everything and the frame rate was still the same. The bottleneck is by far the room population so all of the values listed are completely arbitrary.

>>239221878
You can just have everything on your avatar disabled untill you activate it with an emote and it counts as an excellent avatar. Or you just tweak the sdk, Trusting the rankings is not something you can really do.

>>239221770
We're up to episode 13.

>>239221978
>tweak the sdk
The in game checks are in real time done on the moment you look at it, the sdk doesn't upload a list of stats. That's the only explanation how an avatar can have two wildly different ranks first inside the avatar list and after you load into it and look again.

>>239222231

How gay is it usually, from mute female avatars with lesbian action to using your regular man voice with male avatars and dicks

>>239223091
The majority is futanari on female avatars

When I look at my friendlist on the VRChat website, it sometimes say that someone is "private", rather than "online".

What kind of rooms does that mean the friend is in? All except "public" and "friends of guests"?

>>239223182
So that's why the discord porn channel is filled with futa, everyone induced a new fetish on themselves trying to hold onto that straight identity as they delve into gay shit.
Is there actually noises, breathing and talking tho? Or are the ones with decent trap voices/vc software the only ones with mics on

>>239223369
Private rooms. As in, invite only. If you're friends with someone, you're allowed to join them at your leisure in a Friends+ room or their own Friends room, so they're just considered online on the site.

>>239223182
Futanari is extremely gay.

>>239223091
depends on the person but I have had one person stay mute during, two with voice changers, and two who kept their normal male voice. Only the ones with their regular voice used a futa avatar except I guess myself because I find the "standard" size awkward though maybe I'll do a shota avatar with a small (see: normal sized) dick and no one had a straight up male avatar.

>>239223369
Yes, all except public and friends of guests. If they're in a friends only room of someone you don't have friended, they appear as private.
>>239223435
No, it's filled with futa because it's a common fucking fetish. Some people talk with their man voices, it's no big deal.

>>239223489
>>239223618
Does that mean the room owner only, or maybe the guests, too, have to give out invites? Or can you maybe request invites from either, too?

>>239223681
There's Invite and Invite+. One can be only let in by the room owner, but Invite+ lets people already in the world invite others in.

>>239223618
I'm not gonna lie anon, the last time I saw futa was when I tipped my toes into the brony fandom years ago. I don't think arousal at the site of an abnormally large dick is a common thing among straight men.

>tfw slowly starting to realize that an anon you were friends with actually decided to leave their account and isn't just away for christmas

>>239223856
God I wish the futafags and hyper-whateverfags would fuck off and leave the nsfw channel free for vanilla tomboys.

tupper said it's bannable to interact with ban evaders

>>239230225
Oh god, is it really this much drama?

>>239230290
Unfortunately it's dot's fault for ban evading over 50+ times to the point he got a life time ban on sight thing placed on him rather than just waiting 1 month or w/e the initial ban was

>>239230225
then why is he chilling with dot?

I'd prefer that dot and his quarrel with VRCA not unfold in our meetups. If you're associated with VRCA, please refrain from reporting dot if you see him at the meetup. If you're dot, please stop quarreling with VRCA people when you see them and trying to get people to kick them.

please learn to coexist, you're being headaches for those of us trying to chill
thanks

>>239230903
I'm not in VRCA, nor have I ever known dot prior, but I've reported him once or twice at meetups because he's an obnoxious dick sometimes, and has done things clearly against the rules, so too bad.
Maybe try not be an attention-seeking asshole.

>>239127937
I dunno m8, my AR gets sooty as a nigger's asshole when I use anything that burns dirty
Even if most is vented there's still gonna be deposits/a dusting of it an AK wouldn't have

>>239230531
at that point it might be a good idea to try just talking to the person, if they are able to ban evade that easily.

>>239230903
Report Dot on sight. He’s unironically a huge snitch.

>>239230534
Apparently someone said their instancewatcher went off the other night with tupper joining, and he hung around for a bit. But then their instancewatcher went off again with tupper joining, but he was nowhere to be seen. Is he really spying on the meetups again?

So I have some props on my avatar that I lazily added in unity, and obviously they're triggering the 'too many skinned mesh renderes' on the new SDK. I'd simply have to add them to the model in blender and merge meshes right?

>>239234890
instancewatcher?

>>239234890
He's watching you ERP

>>239234890
wouldn't be suprised, ron does it and tupper also is employed by them

>>239235785
A l33t hack3r t00l that looks at the log files the game makes and informs you when someone (in this case known spies from staff) joins. Mostly used by totally epic chaotic neutral anarchists who are afraid for their cheat clients they found off Google, i.e. Script kiddie-gang

>>239211662
They're called niggers m8 and no one likes them.

>>239236917
Ah I see, thank you for clarifying

>>239236854

That’s hard to believe. Why the fuck would they join random people in private instances just to spy on their conversations? Are you guys bringing in minors to meetups and doing shitvto them or something?

>>239226034
take a large dose of fukitol and just go with your fee fees

>>239237928
>Are you guys bringing in minors to meetups and doing shit to them or something?
Yes. Have you not been here in the past 8 months?

>>239238485

So you guys take minors to meet ups and do lewd things whit them? Rip

>>239207606
Thanks anon, these Facebook cunts need to cool it. I know they want to see my arm flailing statistics, but if I cant flail my arms properly we are both getting cucked

>>239238790
yes, 100% u511 leads a /vrg/ recovery group called the mute list because of how fucked up it got them they can't talk anymore

>>239239107

I don’t believe he’s under age.

>>239234890
Tupper has been invisible in our meetups at least twice this past week.

Namedrop underages.

I’ve never been interested in lewding OR shota but the recent surge in shota avatars has caused me to question myself. Help.

How's the furry fandom on VRChat?

Does anyone else play as an anime girl not because you want to be one but simply because it’s the societal norm of meetups?

I would hate to figure out that I’m the only straight guy in this thread.

>>239243632
I'm a straight guy who plays as an anime girl because I like cute things. It's like how people use profile pictures of anime characters they like on discord and other platforms.

Why are 2D skins so much fun?

>>239243632
Oh that’s zeldabro

>>239243632
this >>239243895
the only people who want to actually be the anime girl are the ones with voice changers and probably some of the mutes

>>239243632
I only use one because of the block male avatars meme. I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable.

>>239244278

Do people really block others because of male avatars? That’s gay. Lol I’ve seen a lot of pics of people using male avatars here though.

>>239243632
I usually just run amuck as a mascot character since there's not enough of those, and being small is fun.

>>239244545
That's because the male avatars that don't get blocked make up for it with interesting personalities.

>>239243632
>>239244119
The only people wanting to be anime girls are trannies

>>239244687

What’s the reason for blocking the others though?

>>239244945
literally muh anime girl safespace

>>239244945
Because performance is so bad, it makes little sense to sacrifice frames for aesthetically unpleasing avatars, which most male ones are.

>>239245735
What a dumb argument.

>>239245403
Its really a case of "And nothing of value was lost".

I mean, what are you going to gain from interacting with those kinds of people (referring to the VR-trannies)

if you dont suck virtual cock and pop pink pills on a daily basis get the fuck out of my meetups you disgusting cis male normalfag

>>239244687

So, using an anime girl means you have no personality?

>>239246415
But is it really "Your" meetups?

I mean, lets be real, you people tend to have problems with identifying ownership
>IMadeThis.jpg

>>239246631
Why do you think they feel the need for such attention-getting avis?

>>239246415
t. Denwah

>>239246631
An uninteresting person in an anime girl avatar will get a pass because at least they're pleasing for the majority to look at. Example, mute anime girl avatars are cute. On the other hand, mute male avatars are creepy. Things like that.

>>239247062
>image0.png.jpg

>>239246972
Protip: The fact that you define all male avatars as "creepy" says more about yourself than about anything in the game.

Is there really any point in rationalizing your attitude when its obviously completely irrational?

>>239246076
To me, it is you who is dumb. Only actual homos want to be surrounded by male-looking avatars in this game. Enjoy your 20 fps I guess.

>>239243632
see>>239240156
and>>239223339
no one cares

>>239247062
how can he just say that without publicly sharing pics of himself wearing it, i'm sure he'd enjoy doing ti like the slut he is

>>239247172
It's not my opinion. It was an example of the reasoning I've heard for the hate on male avatars.

>>239247210
>Only actual homos
The fact that you're saying this as you wear a female body is pretty hilarious, but whatever.

Stay mentally ill, faggot.

>>239247350
Then apply my post to whoever you heard that from rather than yourself.

>>239247062

>>239247450
>guys who played Tomb Raider are mentally ill
oh well. it was worth it

I just wanna hang out and chill. maybe go explore public worlds.

None of this erp anime shit.

>>239247689
The murder game is so much fun

>>239247689

I hate erp.

>>239247689
That's pmuch all we do. There's a minority that go into privates and lewd but the drama from it fills the threads

>>239247584
Sure thing, homo.

Protip: In Tomb Raider, you play as Lara Croft. In VRChat, you play as yourself.
If your avatar of yourself is a girl, you've got issues.

>>239248056
Nobody actually plays it properly, I think. To date I'm unsure what playing it "properly" looks like.

Also are the gun/knife wired into the world somehow or did that Warframe nigga really create an object that can forcibly respawn people?

>>239248414
Well yeah you need mature players to play it the little kids just keep restarting it
