/vrg/ - Virtual Reality General #432

first for realistic human models

second for fuck niggers

third for stop spamming the thread with vrm shilling

>>240295742 (OP)
Holy shit
this is comically awful
They couldn't make a prop for it to film it by itself

>>240295970
All of their videos today were really bad. They're struggling that badly financially aren't they?

>>240295897
we get it you like to fuck bbc i don't have anything against it personally, you do you, but constantly shilling it like this is a bit much

>>240295590 (Cross-thread)
Fucking THIIIIIS.
It really pisses me off when people try to say VRM is bad when it's literally what oculus, valve, Google, microsoft and everyone building mainstream vr want everyone to use since it allows for better performance and cheaper, better vr software for everyone that can run on trashcan brainlet normie pcs.

>Facebook gets Oculus Quest ready to release as a stand-alone 6dof device
>HTC decides.....to make a WMR device

I don't know wtf the heads at HTC are doing. At the least they could have done a Vive Focus refresh to take on Quest/also be used with PC/other-phones.

>>240296335
stop fucking samefagging

>>240296359
>lmao if we make it cell phone vr too that means we're equal to the quest right?
htc is dead

>>240296359
htc already has a quest competitor. it was announced a few months ago. it's the htc shadow vr

which camera layout will be better? the cosmos controllers look superior, adding bumpers gives parity with current gamepads giving more reason to stay in vr

>>240296535
Only thing they can hope for is that they can make it cheap enough to undermine all existing WMR devices, but HTC wants money and they'll have their dumb premium on it.

>>240296641
the cosmos controllers don't have a grip button, so it's the same number of buttons
>>240296359
>>240296602
even comes with hitachi vibrators

>>240296786
cosmos controllers do have grips

>>240296479
He's not samefagging but he's making it hard to defend his point.

>>240296918
"grips," but you're right, my bad

>>240296662
Yeah, I really doubt they'll make it cheap enough for that. These along with the Valve HMD rumours have made them completely irrelevant.

>>240296641
Cosmos has bumper(grip button) but Oculus still has two analog triggers.

I'm no expert, but I get the feeling Oculus' camera layout is wider all around, and cheaper for them to produce when all four or within the same shell of the device.

Having two cameras directly on the sides feels like a complete waste of those cameras, unless they can somehow pick up the controllers when reached over your shoulder (highly doubtful, since your arm will be blocking most of what it's seeing)

>>240296641

>standalone
>400 US funbucks

cosmos
>needs to be tethered to PC or phone
>knowing HTC going to be marked up to like 500 dollars despite containing very little hardware

Whoever wins, we lose. Oculus and HTC are trying to turn their headsets into consoles rather than bring us a proper Rift 2 or Vive 2.
I'm worried about the future, lads

>>240297167
Pray to Gaben

>>240297167
Lord Gaben will save us
but not before we're raped and broken

I started no fapping 2 days ago, but now I’m already getting a hard-on for every other anime girl I see in VR. I’m starting to think this was a bad idea.
I don’t want to fall.

>>240297276
>>240297351
How long after the mobile headset releases do you think we have until zucc orders his minions to discontinue producing the OG Rift because it won't sell nearly as much as the Quest?

>>240296359
There's two parts to this.
First off is that the Cosmos is first and foremost an answer to both the rumored Rift S refresh, and the success of the Samsung devices.
The second is a bit harder to judge.
The other guy is wrong; Shadow VR is a literally who mainland Chinese startup. Yes it uses Vive Wave, but it's not an HTC device. Also the 6DoF controller is a piece of junk. Even Nolo pisses on it. The reality is that they've got their own competitor for the Quest. It's... the Cosmos. Here's where it gets weird. Go watch the little advert thing again. Notice something. They stick a fucking phone in the middle of the headset. I thought the rumor that it could be driven by your phone was just a weird rumor, but it looks like you can somehow drive the device with a phone. That's literally all we have directly confirmed so far. But it just gets confusing from there.
HTC no longer HAS mobile phone market share. So what the fuck is it going to run on? Making it a general purpose device that any fuckhead with a relatively modern phone can run is a pipe dream for a variety of reasons, mainly driver related. And the fact that phone drivers are garbage. So there's a couple of possibilities here. HTC sold their phone infrastructure, mostly, to Google. They've used it with their Pixel phones, which are also the primary Daydream devices. The Cosmos might require a Pixel 3 or a successor device to operate. It could otherwise simply have stringent minimum requirements or a compatibility test. A third possibility is that HTC is deliberately re-entering the phone market from scratch with a new phone, designed specifically to interface with the Cosmos. In this way, they'd be able to leverage the availability of the Snapdragon 855 and its capabilities (including hardware A/V streaming, which would be the enabling technology for this) against the Quest's 835 making it the higher fidelity option.

But again. We just don't know.

>>240296918
That sick fucking tribal pattern tho, wew

What's your take on the new headset with eyes tracking? Is it a good or bad time to bad VR? Should I wait? I was about to order one

>>240298475
It's... literally just a Vive Pro with some eye tracker we know nothing about shoved in. Literally not even VRchat supports eye tracking yet. Please at least fucking wait until something supports it before blowing your money on an untested, unproven device nobody has had hands on yet.

>>240298475
Will be overpriced and won't be well supported outside of enterprise use. Stick to current headsets until the next Zuckulus or Valve's HMD, both of which are far enough on the horizon that you don't need to worry about not getting your money's worth out of what you buy now.

>>240298475
Get a Rift or Odyssey+, HTC is getting more and more anti-consumer as their phone business fails and they have to gouge your wallet with their VR division.

>>240298605
>>240298669
Thank you, I guess I will buy a vive now

>>240298778
Rift has no full body tracking

>>240298931
Wait on the Gaben VR machine, we will all be taken to the promised land.

>>240298931

>>240298960

>>240298931

>>240299071
>>240299143
I swear to fuck if it unironically launches with an Orange Box 2 that contains Half Life 3 I'll eat my god damned hat.

>>240299285
We'll get a HL2 spinoff running on source 2, IN VR!

I just want the fucking headset to be announced already

>>240291745 (Cross-thread)
What's cool is that there will finally be a headset that "some" consumers will be able to get to do this. But I expect it to basically be another tracker/fbt scenario, where it's very imperfect, and kind of annoying to use, while being overly expensive. I somehow doubt HTC's partner has been able to solve the problems that have kept back eye tracking from making it into consumer products, problems which primarily include working well across the whole population, being able to compensate for positional shifts in the headset relative to the face while in use, being able to be used without needing to recalibrate often, being able to be used with 0 calibration from the user at all, etc.

But just for eye tracked anime avatars where accuracy matters little? That's fine actually. In fact it should be great for that, as that demo has shown. It'll probably look fine even if you don't calibrate it. As long as the software support is there, I can see this being a rather successful headset among the dedicated here, unless someone announces a better headset by the time these things are out. Valve please.

THE FUTURE

>>240296602
>>240296786
That's not made by HTC. HTC is simply an investor/partner.

>>240297691
Yup. But I don't know about this using it with a phone deal. Really, I wonder if they will expect consumers to clip the phone externally like Magic Leap One, and if we'd be willing. I would I guess if the experience is good, but what about other people who might think it looks nerdy as hell? Because sticking it in your pocket like a regular phone is a bad idea and you won't get a superior level of performance/quality out of chip that way. It's going to overheat like hell. In your pocket. So they'll probably try to make it a clip-on kind of deal.

how does eye tracking work if you're a squinty asian

>>240301978
It doesn't that's literally an unironic problem

>>240302045
that's racist, boycott htc right now

>>240301823
I always believed that if someone could make a properly designed traditional phone VR unit with 6DoF controllers and SLAM on an ASIC and put it on store shelves for $199 or less, you'd pretty much save mobile VR entirely even if games look crappy for a few years. I feel that'd be a safer bet than what HTC is trying here.

10 seconds from beating Osu!Memories. I'm so close. That last little stretch is so fucking hard.

You guys are really good at ripping models right? I found out my University offers free 3D printing and I was thinking of printing off my character from FF XIV. I mean this in the least faggot way, I just think it would be neat.
How do I go about getting the model?

>>240303293
>hot gluing your own avatar after 3D printing it
just import into vrchat make it public, private world with someone else and fuck them with it

>>240303594
I said it was not a very faggot reason. Mostly I just want to use the 3D printing since I paid tuition and having a little figure of my character sounds fun. Please don't bully me I'm short.

Good/bad/whatever news everyone!
HTC claims that Cosmos is not the next Vive and that the successor is still in the "plans".
>https://www.roadtovr.com/htc-vive-cosmos-not-successor-original-vive/

Going ahead and posting this before I go to bed so I don't forget in the morning. I'm showing Paprika tonight (Tuesday) at 10PM EST. I'll post details to join off when the instance is up.

We went to the Simpsons and caused a car accident!
Then people spawned cars until we had to open a portal and leave because the map was breaking. And then they did the sane thing to the next map...
I didn't even have time to take pictures.

So I made everyone go to DOG, which is a quality map that can't be broken.

Also, of note
If you have a driving wheel please contact me (yuru)
I'm trying to get a list put together for the purpose of getting driving games organized. Let me know!

>>240303993
Hang on. If they've already developed the Pro Eye, and the "Vive 2" is still in the pipeline, does that mean the Vive 2 will be a true fully tracked 2nd generation HMD?

Growing stronger

>>240304190
I managed to get a couple as it was breaking.

>>240304362
Sure, as long as you're willing to pay out the wazoo for it, deal with HTC support, and then be burned as something better comes out several months later. Also depends on what you think "gen 2" means versus the reality of what it will be.

Fuck Valve.
I want their vaporware headset but I know it wont even be announced this year.

>>240304535
I mean if it's got eye tracking, a better screen, and 130deg FOV or more that pretty much ticks most of the 'gen2' boxes.

>>240304531

>>240304692
Unless the eye tracking is a hassle to use, if the resolution isn't really that big of an increase, and the 130 degree FOV is marred by blurriness and god rays, if it even gets that much FOV. Let's not forget who we're dealing with here and what they've done to with their products by now. Even if they get licensed the new Valve headset tech, there is no reason to expect that they won't mess it up somehow.

>>240296918
Chinese knock-off

>>240305248
It'll still have Gen2 capabilities, primarily foveated rendering. The reduction in hardware requirements is the primary attribute of Gen2 units.

I think I must be the most mentally fucked up person here. The most strange gay perverts aren’t filled with regret and rage everytime they actively think about their real bodies while in VR.

>>240305884
Nah dude. Come back and the feelings of anxiety and extreme depression will start to fade.
Ganbatte anon!

>>240305248
And another point of this whole thing is, specs mean nothing. You need to look at the execution. Does it actually provide the experience you expect. Numbers and check boxes mean little in the world of VR.

>>240305520
Foveated rendering means nothing if it's dragged down by the possible flaws in their specific implementation of eye tracking. It may turn out good, but we don't know that, and given their track record, it probably won't be that good. By the time it comes out, I think it's actually possible that developers will have started integrating foveated rendering as an option in some games, so that might not be a problem at least. All of this does depend on when it's coming out though. Assuming it's on the sooner side, we really shouldn't expect too much. It of course likely WILL be better than what we have, at least. But we have no guarantee it's the glorious second gen we're hoping for.

Is vive a good purchase? I see people generally have a very poor opinion of HTC here and most of this general owns a rift

>>240306005
>the idol has another cute as fuck wholesome outfit
How does she do it?

>>240306350
Yeah, the Vive's perfectly fine. You'll just want to know what you're getting into is all.

>>240306350
No-one buys both. So if you see someone with a poor opinion it's because they bought the Vive. So there's bias right there.
Generally there's little between them. The vive headset is better, but the controllers are worse. That's about it. And it's not 'so much worse it's worth getting the rift', it's just 'less good'.
Also new controllers are coming out for the vive... on valve time since valve is doing the development so there's some future stuff there. You'll be happy with either.

>>240305884
>most mentally fucked up person here
AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Not even close.
Don't stop coming here sweetie we love you. A lot of people feel the same way don't worry about it. Have you tried meditation? It helps me with my depression/anxiety.

>>240305884
You’ll never have a pussy, so stop being one.

Oh no

>>240306548
Not him but what am I getting into

>>240306925
It's really just the controllers that are a bit clunky. I have a vive and think they're fine.

>>240306925
Horrible customer support. So don't buy directly from HTC if possible.

>>240307045
Overall the vive is regarded as the superior VR experience overall so really I'd still go for it instead of the rift.

Good night /vrg/. I love you all.

>>240307045
I will say that the Touch controllers are definitely better if you plan on playing a lot of shooters, the grip trigger makes manipulating things a lot easier.
As far as "what you're getting into" means, you're dealing with HTC. And everything that goes with that. Horrid customer service, everything is expensive, good luck with warranty repairs, etc. If you really care that much about customer service and warranty coverage (and imo with finicky fragile fucking things like gen1 VR sets, you should) then Rift might be the way to go because support is generally highly responsive and if they don't respond fast enough to your liking you can just post on r/oculus and the intern they have watching the /new feed will kick your ticket up the queue. Also the Wands are kind of fragile and LMAO-tier expensive to replace. Touch is notoriously durable.

t. rift user that demoed both extensively before 'settling' for the Rift and slowly becoming thankful for its specific strengths.

>>240307350
love you too and sleep well!

>>240307350
Good night anon!

Sometimes even in a circle of friends I get the feeling I'm the only one left out. That they're better friends with each other than with me. So I sit there and wallow in sadness. And hope something comes up in conversation so I can stop thinking about it.

>>240307408
>if they don't respond fast enough to your liking you can just post on r/oculus and the intern they have watching the /new feed will kick your ticket up the queue
I fucking love how we can do that. Really makes you feel special.
I mean, it's reddit, but still.

>>240307408
In case you ever go back to the Vive again, expect to be annoyed by the difference in god ray shape/type, and, especially, how blurry the lens is to the sides. You'll really appreciate the Rift then.

Just ordered my Christmas gift to myself. What should I expect?

>>240306350
Vive was the indisputable king though before the touch controllers came out, most early adopters went with it. Nowadays Vive is still a good headset provided you get the deluxe audio strap. The controllers work well for VR but have issues with the touchpads failing. They also don't translate as well to traditional gaming. Touch controllers are superior in this regard. Comfort wise with the DAS they are comparable but with different feels. Personally I prefer how the Vive fits as it feels more rigid and is "roomier" if you have glasses. Screens and FOV are pretty comparable as well.
Vive has more upgrade options with wireless which is magical and additional trackers. However, this ties you further into HTC's ecosystem and they don't have a good track record with customer service. I personally had the Vive wireless fail and am trying to warranty the item. I'll update with results but buyer beware.
That all said if you're only looking to get a VR headset the Rift is still going to be the best bang for your buck. If you have a lot of money don't give a shit then get a vive pro, wireless, trackers, etc. and then try to get a pair of knuckles controllers for top tier VR.

>>240308678
Each has its own set of visual artefacts. You learn to live with them either way. Aspheric lenses pls

>>240308790
The same outdated experience but wireless.

>>240308903
Outdated? The fuck?

>>240308790
Incredible freedom. You'll make complete use of the play space you have. Walking around in VR will feel more intuitive and immersion will be improved immensely as you no longer have to think about getting caught up in a cable when you swing your controllers around.

All this followed by immense disappointment when it fails in 2 months on NYE while you're hanging out.

>>240308864
>Aspheric lenses pls
No need, there will be better solutions out in the future, by the time such a headset with good apsheric lenses comes out at a good price, if it does actually come out.

Other lenses have their own problems and there are good reasons, which I appreciate, why Valve and Oculus went with some kind of fresnel. It's better once you get used to it (t. owner of a Gear VR too). And to that end yes I do think Rift's lenses are better than the Vive's, even after getting used to both. The blurriness on the Vive's lenses compared to the Rift is enough to make me not want to use the Vive 9 times out of ten. The problem is you end up not being able to use your peripheral vision so easily, and need to turn your head to look at something in more detail rather than just look at it with your eyes alone. For example, I can open up a virtual window and read small text just as well in my periphery as in the center on Rift. I can't say the same on the Vive.

Everyone thinks I'm an outgoing person but I actually can't social for shit. Holding myself to these standards is killing me

>>240309972
I'm sure everyone is aware of what a failure I am socially. I don't even know why I log on.

cold tray...

>>240309972
Kind of the same here anon, except I wasn't so anal about forcing myself to be social, and eventually stopped holding up myself to the high but not nearly that high standard I had set for myself. But I admit I'm still a little bit down about how I'm really not such a great person as people think I am. I'm trying to turn my life around, in real reality, so that's great, but it still hurts a bit. Even though I know there are others who probably think this way too.

>>240309972
>>240310079
I'm a complete coward who thought they would stop making cowardly decisions by now but just keeps doing it. I just wish I had a spine and could fight for myself for my own happiness.
There's a reason why we're all here. Don't worry too much about it.

>>240310079
Hey, that might not be such a bad thing. It means you can probably be honest, and that since you're at your worst, the only way you can now is up! I think that kind of freedom might also be pretty a pretty good situation to be in. Even the most successful are shackled in deep ways sometimes, and don't have that kind of luxury.

That was an experience. Unfortunately it wasn't in VR, so I can't just laugh it off.

>>240310663
Don't give up hope either anon! I'm working hard on changing myself, and after some failures, after some slips despite feeling like I made progress, things are finally looking up. I'm finally making true progress. Progress that's sticking stronger than it ever has, that improves upon past mistakes. And I have been trying for 2-3 years now. Even if it takes 2 or 3 more, or even 10 more, I won't ever stop trying. If I do stop at any point, I will one day find the strength again, and rise up again, stronger than before. So I hope you never give up either! I hope none of you give up!

>>240309972
Hey i wouldn't worry too much about it to be honest, we're all people from the internet which obviously means we're not the beast speakers. I really don't know how to chat with people with a large group in the room so i usually just wander around and listen in on conversations at meet ups. However, get me in a group of 4 or less and I'll happily chat away about random crap. We all have our limitations it's how we go about expanding those limitations once we have dound them. Next time I'll trying talking with a group of 6 instead of 4 and see how it goes. Good luck with your troubles anon we all share similar issues so it's easy to relate.

With current technology i think the resolution makes you nearsighted even with 20/20 vision so i don't know how you could design a shader to give the same vision a pair of glasses would

Doing the gliding jump nets you the star!

Bongo-Cat... Birb?

>>240320351
No. The headset lenses are focused at a distance, so the screen an inch away from the lens appears several meters away. If you're short sighted such that things at 7m blur, they will blur in the headset.

Buy contact lenses.

Cute doggo proposal.

>>240321546
what a gentlemanly doggo

I want to edit Cubed's MMD shader to let me use two Additive sphere textures at once, how do I do this? I have the code open.

>>240317164
I'm pretty sure that's an F2000.

>>240322464
Also I've managed to duplicate the option for the additive spheres, but it uses the same texture and intensity on both, It's just a copy of it.

>>240309259
That's disappointing, and while it sucks to have to deal with HTC customer service, at least there's a twelve-month warranty on it. I hope you get yours replaced, Anon-kun. We've gotta ERP with no restrictions, you know?

Best full single player experiences on the oculus?

I've played robo recall and arktika

anything else on that level? I want it to feel like a complete game and not a tech demo. lone echo was quite boring so i sent it back after 2 hrs - does it get better?

thanks

>>240316448
There's undocumented changes too. Crowbar costs 2. FAL has less recoil. Probably other things too.

>>240322464

>>240323484
Lone Echo is boring throughout.

>>240323491
I don't remember the game having sounds for the control points, they probably added this too

I get what you mean anon, and I've been here since January. I simply can't spend as much time in game as everyone else can together, especially in recent months. I've pretty much been going to the NA meets less and less due to this as well since all that they usually do is sit around and chat and I am often reminded of just how good friends other people seem to be while I've been relatively left behind in the dirt.
Ironically, I've found much more solace in the EU group despite claims of how insular they are, though of course I get reminded from time to time of how much deeper their bonds are than I could ever hope to achieve with them.

there's just too many people in an instance most of the time during modern NA meets, I usually have a better time if I wait until someone drops a portal and then stick around after it closes with the other ~5 people who didn't go through
I miss when we had less than 100 regulars.

>>240326472
No we’re good. Labyrinth is at 11:30 and won’t start until after 12 because I’m playing Bowie music videos instead of trailers for a bit.

You have to open SteamVR and ensure the controllers are on before opening the game.

>>240328818
I love playing machine gunner in games like red orchestra/rising storm where tactical suppressing fire can actually win you a game, but those matches have to be with many players.
In 5 man team games like contractors machine guns unless there is an entirely new mechanic for people who use them, would just be a method of reducing the amount of reloads and increasing the amount of corner prefires.

just got through everything in >>240194430 (Cross-thread)
>>240294582 (Cross-thread)
For once this wasn't me. Here's your (you).
The very angry anon that was posting is (mostly) right though, GLTF 2.0 / GLB and by extension VRM is (finally) a reasonably good format now that it has proper array indexing, and unity will probably support it soon since it's important for lower powered vr devices. Unreal already does.
OpenGEX is good though too, but mostly because it and collida are more complete. Unity's worked with khronos on gltf, I'm actually surprised it's not native yet but I guess they're still working on getting all the things you need for AAA graphics.
You can dink with import/export of glb here if you you really want: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/UnityGLTF/tree/master/UnityGLTF or by installing UniVRM.
Blender can export them if you want to see how they support various things.

Though I don't fully agree with angry-anon's assessment of FBX, it IS owned by a giant exploitive corporation. I have had my fair share of crashes thanks to it, and older tools export older fbx and often do it in ascii instead of binary which blender doesn't support generally. It can be a pain when things get out of ordered and rendering/weights gets all fucked up. Plus a lack of modern indexing making unity split meshes and such. I wonder how many issues in vrchat avatars are due to varied out of date mesh formats... lots of people have geometry ordering issues that don't make sense until they re-export in cats (which can update the fbx format)

i just spend my first hour in vrchat
i only saw german and russian desktop plebs.. i'm left disappointed

>>240332731
Right now is EU prime time, so that's no surprise. If you're from EU like myself you'll want to play at later (or earlier) hours to encounter more NA people that actually speak English.

>>240332731

>>240296641
More than 180deg per camera is possible in both cases, I think ironically the quest will have more occlusion since the vive has side cameras.
That being said: I've heard through various patent filings connected to these devices that there are 6 and 10dof standalone imus now that are ALMOST accurate enough to be used alone, so I bet there's ZERO issues with occlusion behind the headset, since your hands don't stay out of range of the cameras very often.
The occlusion issues are less prominent in the new samsung WMR hmd too, for the same reason, better 3dof imu and accelerometers mean they almost never "stop in space" anymore.

One more thing you guys should know about Windows Mixed Reality: while it does support all vive titles, titles certified for WMR like beat saber and onward use microsoft's plugin for WMR which makes them run in a more direct way to the hmd, rather then wmr to openvr to wmr to you. This enables more rapid sensorfusion, and they have EVEN LESS tracking issues due to it, (on top of using microsoft's reprojection tech, which ironically beat valve's to release) which is why for for those games there's zero tracking issues.
I think most people who say the tracking isn't as good are playing VRChat, which AFAIK doesn't use microsoft's sdk (though they should stick it in, there's a lot of wmr users now).

It's a bit early for the good VRC experience.
Later on it will pick up, doubly so if you wait till the US TZ kicks in.

i have a few questions
in order to move around, i has to hold the thumbstick and then i see myself running into the distance with a green line that shows my path, is this the only method of movement? isn't there a push-to-move directly kind of system?

also the people i saw all had the default guy model, but they were fucking huge, like they felt more than 2m tall irl, is that because i was a cute anime girl?

i also tried to give them the middlefinger but i couldn't find out how, is it possible on the rift?

>>240333447
Every time I've been to EU hours it feels like my presence there isn't necessary.

>>240333810
Check the options to change the movement optioons, you're under the weird teleport/walking thingie now.
>default model
Under the safety settings you can set what you want to see and what you don't depending on each user's rankings.
>Middlefinger
Vrchat only has a few pre-set hand positions like rock-n-roll, you can do your own hand positions in unity while making your own model.

>>240333636
this is how you kill multiplayer videogames, people refuse to get on because nobody gets on, thus they claim it's dead.

The cosmos is HTC's answer to windows mixed reality and the quest all at once, simple as that.
HTC realized people don't want All in One headsets, they want headsets that work for everything, like a fucking headset should.
So they released teh cosmos.
I think the valve hmd might be the same, honestly, but it might just be for pc.
The point is this, usb c and virtuallink allow for an hmd to be plugged into practically anything.
Because of the simpler way that the PlayStation vr works, for example, people have got it to work on mobile and other things.
http://nreal.ai/a/HOME/ brand new devices like this are the same. (this one is pretty cool) They come with a processor box, or you can plug them into your phone, or a pc if you want.

They just don't know you. Go during "overlap" hours, which during the week is 530pm-??? ish EST when you'll still get euros but they're getting tired, or or 1130pm-??? PST when you'll get japan, because that's 4:30pm for them.
On weekends, get up early and you can catch sleepy euros/britbongs and nords, and awake japanese people, also hawaii and alaska.
Nobody uses vrchat from central pacific area much and I think it's just become available in china.
As of this post it's 3:30am OZ time so I never seem them on.
I'm in the east coast so I've made quite a few dutch and britbong and swedish friends.

>>240335685
contractors literally just put out an update.
The game had it's initial interest burst and it's still in early access, it'll have medium pace gains in player base now that it's out.
it's only been a week or two. Pavlov took forever to overtake onward too.

>>240337768
EU - NA overlap hours is a great time to get to know people. It lasts more or less from approx 6:30 CST to 8:30 CST. Things get busier around 9.
It's often a small group around these times and it's a good chance to get to know people without worrying about the big screaming group. I'm also really happy to see people at these times since there are often few people on.
If you're into pavlov this is also a good time to find pavlov games.

Why is the VRC camera so shit? There’s a timer button but no standard picture taking button? What were they thinking?

>>240338759
While you're holding the camera press down on the trigger button

>>240338759
Hold the camera in your hand and pull the trigger, it takes a picture. Only works with the normal camera, not the stream camera.

Oh, so here's a detail I didn't see mentioned here.
Vive Cosmos uses full RGB displays. This sounds more and more like a windows mixed reality HMD.
If this thing retails for 299usd or under it'll be a slam dunk for them.
One more missed detail, it looks like viveport is going to work like netflix now: 9 bucks a month and you get access to every single game on the platform.
If they end up with a huge number of AAA games that could be pretty big.
Viveport now has full oculus and WMR support too, most people don't know that.

>>240298605
it's actually just a tobii eye tracker which has valve, nvidia, amd, oculus and htc's backing at one point or another.
So the vive pro eye is the same screens as the samsung odyssey plus, costs 3-5x as much, includes the deluxe audio strap and eye tracking, Valve Lighthouse 2.0 and their slightly upgraded dildos.
Get a Samsung OD+ or wait, if you like money, since you'll have access to viveport, steamvr, oculus home, and Mixed reality Home, since it has better screens.
or wait for cosmos since it'll also be all those things with better tracking. (maybe worse screens?)

>>240301698
this is virtualcast.
If you wanna raid virtualcast sometime, let's do it. Your vrchat avatars will work 1:1 in it with minimal effort, the nippon will be so confused.

>>240295765 (Cross-thread)
it's just a tobii.
https://www.tobii.com/
they didn't release it yet because nvidia needed to build in driver support for foviated rendering, which will be available on the 12th of Jan alongside their support for freesync and other VRR displays.
I would be pretty surprised if they're not available separately like the vive trackers are, and if applications start to support them (and the performance boost is as good as nvidia says it'll be) then people will buy them like they did with vive trackers.
Vive trackers are corporate focused devices too, but the only real use is vrchat (and now later on, Vive Reality system).
Vive Reality is setting itself up to be a direct competitor to vrchat, btw.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKr6zCcQdAA
Which is really strange to me, considering HTC gave vrchat a bunch of money early on.
Is Vive still a partner?
Vive reality seems to be what they ended up doing with the Oasis Home stuff.

>>240339797
the hype site for the cosmos says it uses "our sharpest screens yet"

do you think they'll ever be able to make a non garbage mmo in this gen's VR?

Well fuck it, I'm not putting all my chips on a wild card then. God I wish someone made some uber long spiral 3in1 cables.

>>240341338
walking around the Warcraft worlds in VRC made me think one could work with the scale, keep the graphics low poly.

The problems would be with combat, ranged would work fine but melee combat in VR is shit so far with the exception of one game.

>>240334067
Yeeahhhh I end up jumping worlds on my own because might as well be alone when I feel lonely.

>>240340663
yeah, they say RGB, but they don't specifically state any SDE mitigation.
Windows mixed reality screens ARE typically RGB, and 1400x1400, which is sharper than the vive.
For them to be sharper than the vive pro, they CANNOT be the same screens samsung puts in the OD+, they would have to be something else.
My educated guess is 1600x1600 90-240hz rgb VA panels from AOC, maybe, they have to be higher resolution than the vive pro but not oled. Maybe even IPS, and they need to be low cost. These are focused at the consumer and taking business away from windows mixed reality and oculus with touch bundles.

>>240341338
I'm not sure that mmos are compatible with VR. At least not in the state that MMOs currently exist. They are currently tedious grindy themeparks that most players don't give their full attention to even when they're playing.
VR forces you to pay your full attention to the game. I don't think the current wow clone style of MMO really works in VR for that reason. I could be wrong because no one has tried it, but I don't think I'd like it.

>>240341413
they do. If you get the new 3n1 cable you can extend it using a powered usb3 and hdmi from your breakout box.
you can also power the hmd with dc directly from the pc if you get an adapter, which makes that easy to extend too.
I find if you use a carabiner clip and just clip the hmd cord to your belt you trip over it and notice it way less.
I play electric guitar, so I got used to it very naturally.

>>240341563
Nostos might deliver.
there's literally no fucking reason why any of the big mmo makers couldn't make their game first person vr, it's literally a few weeks of work re-writing the ui.
It would be a port, but it would be a start.
Someone did ff14 with vorpx a while back.
I'm waiting for something like log horizon level UI, it's really about time they did something.
However, I think amazon sumarian will probably mean that we'll have something soon.
Even with the refresh I'm not a fan of orbus's graphics.

>>240341742
Wait, so what do I actually need to purchase?

>>240340423
>Is Vive still a partner?
They threw a bunch of money at them a while back, but I thought it was a one time thing and not something ongoing.
>support for freesync and other VRR displays
Nice, that'll make the decision to go Nvidia for my next build even easier if Navi is disappointing.

>>240341932
Im one of the best things about VR games is the UI design.
You can be creative and have much more space to work with then just one a screen.

The 'under wrist' deigns is currently my favorite.

>>240339271
The big thing is gonna be how the phone compatibility works out. If they can get the thing working with most modern flagships, and put it out the door at $399 or less, it could kill the Quest. HTC claimed that the target niche of 85% of people who dont use VR because it's a hassle and giving them an option that ALSO allows them near seamless PCVR should they want it could be a winning combination, especially considering that the mobile component is both already in your pocket, potentially more powerful than the Quest with upcoming phones, and every time you get a new phone your Cosmos gets a performance jump. They could really push the upgrade path angle hard if it does in fact work with most phones. You could be using a Cosmos with a phone made in 2025 at no cost but some FOV and SDE.

>>240342182
on the downlow, with modern snapdragon phones you can go from usb-c alternate mode to displayport and plug in some HMDs, I've done it with the playstation vr and I know it's possible to get a vive running from a phone emulating linux, but it's not easy.
Huawei and helios and snapdragon chips have been building this usb-c DP alt mode thing for a few years, and the first device to actually use it was the magic leap.
http://nreal.ai/a/HOME/ here's another example of a completely modular AR glasses product that just uses usb-c and displayport alt-mode.
That's what the cosmos will have.
I can't believe people were shilling hdmi 2.0 over displayport. Get real.

>>240342828
i'd play that desu
i also think it's the way VR mmo's should go, since obviously repetitive arm movements will become very annoying if you gotta grind a ton of shit, instead they should just make it a minimal grinding/but very heavily quest/story driven like in runescape (99 grinding excluded)

>>240342927
Now you got me curious, I used to experiment with my phones a lot and even used one as a linux desktop for a while. Driving an HMD with what little VR stuff exists sounds exciting.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKhE3CMz7Sk
One reason why there isn't a lot of reel grils in vrchat is because girls are affected by vr sickness more than men.
the people at "boarding VAR" apparently stuck some leds onto the vive to provide a virtual "horizon" so your eyes don't make you sick in vr.
thing is they're using leds and an IMU pack.
I could build something like this with a single led, a button cell battery, and some water inside a closed cube, if it works... Humm.
They've had this fluid filled horizon glasses for kids for a long time now.

>>240344316
these.
Now light them up with some phosphorous propylene glycol and a single IR led.
some double sided 3m tape.
Boom, no more vr sickness.

>>240344316
How about they just man the fuck up and power through it?

>>240346427
I did, I'm immune. It's others that become sour to vr in general after trying it and become avoidant of it just like you do when food makes you sick, you end up "hating" that food and even the smell of an HMD can make you not want to touch it.
This is especially true for biologically born women, who are already averse to gaming (maybe for some the same reasons, flat screens in movies make some girls sick).
If we can stick a virtual horizon in headsets that problem might go away completely.

You can actually watch 3D videos in VRChat without needing to use any 3D glasses or whatever

So, playing H3VR, found out you can 'stack' multiple rounds in a quickbelt slot. Makes RoTR actually playable.

Fucking lucky, is the model high quality too?

Can I just fucking vent a little about the stupid uninformed opinions I see literally anywhere about VR? And it's not only Eternal September either. I see people who have been keeping up with VR for a long time STILL giving unrealistic expectations/speculation about things in VR that basically ignores the work people have done so far to understand how everything in VR operates. And they keep being wrong. I mean people are only human so I can't blame them, but still. Makes you kind of want to just wack some god damn sense into them.

>>240352725

I need prefabs. Give me a unity package of something from your avatar or a world you've made such as a prop that's unique to you. https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/HOWTO-exportpackage.html

PS. I'm still taking pictures - send me 1-3 pictues from each month of 2018 that you've played and make sure you tell me what month each of them are.

I've had the words "welcome to eternal sept" as my status in vrchat for a few months now.
I absolutely agree with you and we're going to have to make some kind of post that becomes MORE viral than Linus tech tips bullshit to get people to all in on vr, because it's already here and it's already amazing.
I can't even tell you how many people don't know dell/acer/hp/lenovo/samsung/asus ALL MADE HEADSETS FOR:

>>240353337
My mid 2014 PC that I spent ~$735 building somehow ended up being the minimum spec requirement for VR.

Nowadays you can get this for much less than what I got it for, I bought a 970 for it in early 2016 and got VR last year, so far it has been great and I've enjoyed my time with a lot less than what people think you should have.
Now of course you wouldn't build a PC today with specs that are up to par of a dated rig but you really don't need much to play VR games.
The absolute bare minimum to play anything is the requirement to have 45 FPS.
[absolute bare minimum]

I despise having 45 FPS but holy shit, if I can play something at that framerate and software can smooth out the rest, I can say it's playable.
Despite all of that my setup can still output 90 FPS in all of the VR games that I own at a render scale of 1.0, I'm planning to upgrade when the next GPU release cycle comes around.

I really don't care to upgrade for more frames in VRChat, when I heard that a current day CPU >$1000 crumbles into shambles the same way as a 2014 CPU, I stopped caring.

which is really a core use of VR right now. The only problem is that you have to jettison your flat screen Internet friends and get newer better ones who will tolerate wearing a sweaty face box for hours if it lets them be anime surrounded by anime.

I really regret ever playing games with anyone I know in real life that I can't avoid. It's turned into a 4+ hour daily obligation that I'd rather spend in VR or blender.

stellaris is a fun game!

>>240356246
Not him but I tried. It was an expensive failure. Even with completely free headsets, people who don't have VR already and aren't playing games like VRChat don't have the discipline or motivation necessary to set up a playspace, keep it clear of clutter and pets, put on a headset, and deal with their roommate/boyfriend/wife/mom constantly telling them they're spending too much time in the stupid goggles.

>>240356246
I've got one real life friend with a VR headset, but he's too busy to use it much. I'm actually kinda worried about what might happen if he starts playing VRChat again.

i'm so sorry dude just try and cut the gaming sessions down with them bit by bit so it's not 4+hrs you could probably shave it down to 2hrs over time i had to do the same to get out of my daily pubg crew

i don't know if i sent a request to the correct shammy, but i went back offline
i still get pretty nauseous when i run at full speed so it's probably not a good idea to show me around because i'll slow you down too much since i can only play comfortable while walking

Would you play a VR game that simulates being in a large late 90s to early 2000s retail store like Best Buy or Walmart with varying NPCs and lots of interactive elements like trying on clothes, food samples, game demo kiosks, etc?

>>240357685
Stage 1: Emotional transference. You feel more confident, socially capable, and empathetic as a result of your experiences in VR.

Stage 2: Habitual transference. As your time spent socializing in VR as your avatar begins to rival IRL, you begin to exhibit unconscious behaviors you would normally only perform in VR. This could be walking, standing, or sitting differently, gesturing more than usual (V signs and thumbs up are kind of weird normally but common in VR), or verbal tics ("nya!").

Stage 3: Identity blending. While performing a personal task, like brushing your teeth or changing clothes, if you close your eyes, you sense your avatar's body instead of your own. You begin to feel more at home in the appearance and social role of your avatar than as your real-life self.

Stage 4: Intentional partial realization. You begin acting and dressing like your avatar in real life. Maybe it starts with an easy excuse, like just a cosplay. Eventually you find the size of your cute anime girl wardrobe rivals what you used to wear before VR.

Stage 5: This stage has yet to be observed, but might be extrapolated to further, more invasive, more permanent attempts to embody the appearance and social role experienced in VR.

>>240359710
it's running on unity 2017.4 lts now, unity's own stats agree. The problem is in legacy assets are still being used, as they get phased out and uploaded with the new sdk, vrchat's performance will improve.

be sure to clear out your old appdata/roaming vrchat directories and settings and you might find the game runs much better.

>>240360479
did you still have vrchat installed before you tried to join again?
If so, it's likely a loading problem from your HDD, or you're loading the level but not syncing your client, or, you're loading an old version of the world.
go into %appdata% and delete all vrchat related folders after uninstalling vrchat, then re-install.
make sure you're NOT on the vrchat beta.

>>240360219
Happens all over the internet every day. I'm surprised you don't know about it.
Social outcasts on 4chan like to laugh at internet relationships and call them fake, but they're working out for a LOT of people all over the world.

I'm well aware, of course!

However, here's where it's perplexing me. VRChat only has about 10-50k by my estimates regular everyday users and only a very small number of them are in the facebook group. The frequency of this kind of post there has to be some kind of anomaly.
Considering VR is the most immersive media next to meeting literally in person (it's several steps above video chatting, ) it's possible that it's causing people to catch feels a lot easier.
And, I'm not just talking about "internet relationships".
Every single one of these posts have traveled and met IRL or have moved in together. That has to be some kind of outlier.

Not really. You can extract the parts but you have to fix all of the bones, remake textures, make all the shapekeys (the button in CATS is not for this), and either make textures or set up shaders for every part. There's supposedly a pmx exporter, but I cannot find it.

Am I the only one who doesn't like giving or receiving headpats?
It can get really awkward over time, not knowing when to stop.
It also holds no value to me anymore since I've gotten used to it.

I used to have that problem and I don't remember how I got over it.

Serious sam is going to be going on tonight at 6pm PST. As previously discussed we are going to hop onto serious sam 3. Tonight is the night where we are going to try out deathmatch or other gamemodes. On top of that, modded maps will be considered depending on what anon's bring up. Post in the thread or dm dal with mods/timezone shit, and ect. If you are an EU and want to get something going please discuss it with other anons, or just chat with me and you guys can get a serious session going at an appropriate time for you guys.

>>240363632
I don't care about headpats I am completely insensitive to them. I pat as a greeting and a farewell and that's about it. Its awkward when people want to headpat you for 30m though.
I think of headpats as being VR handshakes.

>>240365114
oh shit, that's fairly big. You can upload your own GLTF files too, so, that's pretty huge, basically a more efficient vrchat with much shittier avatars.

There's been a VR version out for over a year, but you have to buy it separately.

>>240365368
Until they all let you upload completely custom maps as well as avatars, no. Oculus Home uses UE4, and I'm not sure what Vive Reality uses, but if it's not Unity, then people are going to have a harder time adopting it compared to what people are used to with VRChat. Oculus likely wants to open up customization only when highly standardized tools and methods become available, so that will be some time. Until then, Oculus Home is still just another experiment before their real attempt at a metaverse app.

>>240365982
Oh, that's lame. I was getting my hopes up for nothing then. I figured it would've been like a DLC or something for the original base game but naw.

Porting a flat game to VR, and doing it well, is not much less work than just making a new VR game. As a reward for that effort, the developer generally doesn't make enough in sales for it to be worth it.

Croteam dev went into detail on it here:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/552440/discussions/0/1489987634006775270/#c1484358860957319221

Don't buy the game if you don't think it's worth it (I wouldn't for $40, hell) but it does go on sale frequently, which might make it more viable.

>try to play regular screen first person game after being hooked on that VR shit for a few months

I can't do it guys

VR ruined first person for me, it feels so limited and distanced now

>>240371449
Being myself as an avatar in VR when? Also how do I go about doing this?

How is the feedback on the occulus touch controllers? I've only had limited experience with the vive and it felt like it had great feedback. How would the two compare?

>>240372620
thanks anon!

Is it possible to rip models from koikatsu?

>>240373897
What do you mean by feedback exactly? Like haptic feedback? There's a little vibration motor in each touch controller. Feels like any other recent video game controller, nothing special.

Which of your gestures have you started doing irl?

>>240361053
I have like 40 girls that could be exported, I'm still waiting on a exporter that has "do literally everything for me" button

>>240374791
thumbup when smiling

>>240374478
>>240372620
I didn't notice someone had actually found the exporter. It works, you get shape keys and an armature that CATS can fix, but you don't get to bring textures. Either make some or do some magic with shaders. I'll post what this model looks like in game for reference.

>>240371572
>shitpost answer
C'mon now anon, I know it's not the greatest but there's gotta be a few things.

>>240374791
I cover my mouth with my hand while laughing

>>240374791
victory

>>240375141
Wow that's fucking nice. Mind sharing the exporter pretty please?

So are any of those VR glove things ever actually happening or is it all Vaporware
Or the treadmills so I can actually walk around instead of teleporting.

>>240375141
There's a lot of work to be done still.

>>240374791
Ok handsign with a wink

>>240375319
In the recap I quoted.

>>240375453
I'm remaking my maid in Koikatsu for when the day of the rope comes.

>>240375453
doesn't have as many mods
you can do 90% of the work within CM itself

>>240375497
Mind linking the specific message please? I tried looking at all the messages from the recap but I can't see it

Block custom maids on sight. If you don't have a koikatsu girl fuck off

Do people still play The Forest? I just bought it the other day. I'm hoping to boot it up in a few and learn the basics before trying to get on multiplayer if there's still a vrg group.

>>240375364
you can get the exported textures by using the other exporter, for the iqe.

>>240376218
They finished the campaign but I think they're considering reopening the server but with mods this time

>>240376334
Damn it. So there isn't any consistent group play right now? I might just refund then.

>>240376773
There's nothing currently I'm afraid, new meme is serious sam but I anticipate that dying down soon

Shapekeys...
>>240375976
https://mmda.booru.org/index.php?page=forum&s=view&id=44
>>240376230
Done that before and ripped them directly. Most of the model doesn't use textures. It just shaders.

Started the night exploring on my own. This world had a lot of cute blob cats, I found them all and put them together. The world isn't too bad for chilling out in, but it was more designed to be a night club.

>>240376858
Alright, thanks bro. Guess I'll at least try it for 2 hours, but that's disappointing. At least there's still Pavlov.

Coolest robots around. Although another pod would've been nice

A stylish oldfag returns

I wish someone without make a repository of generic avatars and accessories to put on them. It was the one thing that was good on SL, customising yourself was easy and flexible. Too bad VR SL would cause house fires.

>>240377978
That exists already - it's called DeviantArt. Use a generic MMD base and search for accessories made for that base.

>>240377978
The Deviantart autist community has you covered. Get an MMD base from one of the thousand and one MMD pages and go to town.

>>240378229

But doesn't MMD threaten you with sodomy for just downloading their models?

>>240378442
MMD? It's not a single person or company. The worse that happens is the artists sperg their models get used against their permission

Reminder, David Bowie's Birthday movie Labyrinth (1986) in about 4 hours from now, after anime night. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091369/

>>240377978
That would be very unoptimized.

You CAN'T rip from koiktatsu

>>240378769

>too bad VR SL would cause house fires

>>240378791
Ok, now make it look good.

>>240377014
Nice, it works. Fully rigged and has a bunch of shapekeys, the annoying part. I had to download both the mmd booru mod and >>240376230 to change the "bounce" pose to a T-pose, otherwise it exports in a hands-by-side pose which probably won't work in unity. Here's default-chan if you're too lazy to get a koikatsu torrent yourself

https://my.mixtape.moe/bfdlyx.zip

>>240378791
All that flat colour looks like shit.

>>240375359
Gloves might have to waith for third generation VR. All the good gloves are lab prototypes. It'll take time to miniaturize and consumerize them.

That carpet bowl treadmill with VRshoes idea could have potential with some do it yourself research, but it's still an unproven concept. Omnidirectional treadmills exist but they're expensive and not as good as you'd hope yet.

/h/thread/5224661 the pastebin has all the things

>>240380015
forgot picture. All the clothes and underwear come rigged too. The nips are poking out from all the shirts though, maybe there's some shapekey to get them to be flat again.

>>240377014
Is that from koikatsu?
Those eye shapes and eye lash shapes and curvature of the brows look too familiar. Im starting to think the bote girls are painted/modified koikatsu exports

>>240380246
Mtoon with a spheremap and going a little metalic on the clothing would probably make those look pretty normal.

>>240380341
I have all the modded parts installed, so they're probably taken from an MMD. Koikatsu is less than a year old.

>>240380246
Ah, the nips are rigged. And the breasts fwiw.
>>240380574
There's no normal map in this export, though there's clearly one in game, to get the clothes wrinkles to show up like on the elbows. Probably need to rip those separately.

This Friday night we will be doing a showing of Shin Godzilla. Brought to you by R Y D E R and mostly meeps again. It'll start at 1130pm again, just join of me, meeps or anyone else in the movie map.

>>240381065
HELL YEAH KINO

>>240378893
>>240380143
So I just kind slapped the textures together, what would you recommend to make the colors less flat?

>>240381061
You can rip the normal maps. I've had them before.

>>240364258
Werewolf detected.

>>240381061
A very important place is rigged, wew.

Also, the head is very cleanly detached from the body mesh, making it a pretty attractive base to stick other heads on. Presuming all the other koikatsu clothes have rigs, that's a lot of outfit options.

>>240381296

https://kenzato.uk/booru/image/GNuI5 if anyone actually wants this, though it looks like shit without good shading.

Imagine the state of (you) that you need to create 50 different accounts to ban evade. I’m literally laughing at your life. Why would you even care about a shitty chat room simulation that much. Lmao my ass off.

>>240382921

>>240382921
There's literally nothing wrong with anything dotto ever did aside from that one time he was rude to me because I blocked his menu.

>>240374791
I got VR recently and mostly it's been me doing gestures I do IRL in VR. I haven't learned any new gestures or bodylanguage.

Incoming Koikatsu flood of imports SOON(tm)

I started training a certain mute into becoming my VRpet. This is happening without her even noticing, I'm conditioning her with positive re-inforcement in little steps on a subconscious level. She's not smart enough to notice and I can already see some small behavioural alterations.

How's your pet coming along?

>>240331472
Leave it, except the hat.

>>240383970
how do you delete other people's posts on 4chan

Why are Koikatsus better than Custom Maids

>>240384250
You don't, you enjoy them.

Serious sam in ten minutes!

It is time, we are going to be starting up the serious sam session in 10 minutes. As mentioned many times now, we are going to be doing the third game, then trying out deathmatch and possibly modding. Add "Dal290[ewe]" on steam if you wish to join, we are going to hang out in the discord for voice but you if you want to play silently that is fine too.

>>240367465
>tfw you will never have a bromance like stinky and coffee pot

>>240384340
Anyone who thinks the default Koikatsu models look good need to get their eyes fixed. Like maids, they require mods and lots of tweaking. I'm not looking forward to the wave of la creaturas.

>>240381990
Still looking through default-chan, one problem is that the visemes aren't exactly set up right for oculus. Firstly they're split across 4 or 5 different shapekeys, for the face, nose, teeth, tongue, and secondly they don't quite conform to the AA, OH, CH that CATS takes. It's not too hard to fix by creating new shapkey from mix, but just a few more steps to worry about.

What do I have to do to get a decent avatar that people don’t make fun of me for?

No matter what I choose it’s always always the same criticisms, TDA this, custom maid that, boothcat this, shit waifu that.

How much time/money do I have to give?

>>240385009
Any avatar is fine except for booth cat which is an autoblock from me as long as you like it and feel like it represents you.

>>240385009
It's time for non anime male avatars

>>240385009
Pick something you like and you're passionate about, and don't believe what you see in the thread. Most criticism in game is constructive.

>>240382921
dot is one of my favourite vrg personalities and i love him dearly
i know he's a fuck up but he also has attributes which are endearing
just love him for the chaotic neutral treasure that he is

>>240385376
t. dot

>>240385009
everyone makes fun of every other avatar you shouldn't worry about it too much

>>240385376
pathetic

>>240383837
I'm not sure it's worth it.

>>240385009
There will always be ripping on each other's avatar, but as long as you like what you've picked as well as you put time and passion into it people will respect it as well.

>>240385009
what do you want?

>>240383970
You sound like a lovely person

>>240384340
There's more options for the face and body. Which is more potential for things to go wrong. A lot of the existing cards that get shared are awful in-game, so they're going to look even worse outside of it.

>>240383970
i don't want to put the work in myself so i'm trying to steal someone else's VRpet

What does it mean to have a VRmaster or a VRpet?

>>240352548
in bereft land

>>240386487
Hey, if people pay 1500USD for an mmd model I'm surd there is a market for this too. No need to steal.

>>240385731
The stuff gets easier and easier to export.
Once it reaches a threshold the flood will come like how custom maids came.

>>240386610
>>240347579

>>240384847
So I ripped all the textures in the character maker with ninja ripper, got out
https://my.mixtape.moe/peaaxf.zip
It does have some missing stuff like the nips, plus a bunch of weirder packed textures I can't immediately tell what they're for. Here are some wallpaper glue normals? Maybe it didn't actually grab everything because it's missing like the main body albedo texture, which the other exporter got.

>>240377978
>generic character creator avatars
Worse than defaults desu ne

>>240387379
Vkatsu has an official VRM export update planned, apparently.

Paprika world is up, movie will start in about 20 minutes. You can join off Silencen if you're interested.

>>240303858
Wow, that UndeadOrb guy sounds like a fucking edgy autistic fag.

>>240389329

He is.

>>240303858
Making me kinda hard desu.

>>240303858
>aaaaaah
We need more of this

>>240386610
To be a vrpet is to have the giant Brit own you

>https://www.tpcastvr.com/single-post/2019/01/08/TPCAST-Introduces-2nd-Generation-Wireless-VR-Solution-%E2%80%93-TPCAST-Air
TL;DR:
TPCAST Air announced. It will allow one to wirelessly connect VR headsets to PCs. And it will apparently support Oculus Go and Quest. Yes you heard that right. Quest will be able to become a PC VR headset, using this. But the twist is that they're only announcing this for enterprise so far.
If they've really achieved it though, at the latency and visual quality we want, it may hold promise for the future. Details aren't clear, but they say they're just using wifi and their own compression technology.

>>240372436
Sounds about right. VR spoiled me as well.
We just need more developers to go on the VR meme and I can sell my flat monitor and go full VR.

>>240392165
We need varifocal lenses before we can go full VR. Current headsets are blurry at anything closer than arm-length.

>>240393484
Unironic VRjobs will be the future of office work as well. Working from home once you can manipulate a computer system inside VR and work as if you are in an office environment with other people.

Hi, I'm trying to get into VR, no bully pls.
I tried out a Vive last week that my friend has and now I want in. I'm considering getting pic related, since there seems to be a deal on them right now on Amazon. What is Acer like? I've been lurking some and I haven't seen too many people even mention them.

kinda want to try minecraft in VR but....
>$27 for it
>microshit store only
hurts my soul

>>240394573
There's a minecraft world in VRchat. It's not a full port and has no saves but it's something if you wanna check it out.
There's also vivecraft check it out.

>>240394178
WMR is a low population VR system bought only if you really really need a cheap headset.

People prefer their rifts and their vives. Hopefully some anon helps you out. But I can tell you a much that they are still quite serviceable at least.

>>240394178
The rift is even cheaper at $350 now btw.

Do the rift touch controllers get better over time? I only had roughly 15-30 minutes trying them and just couldn't get used to them. Compared to the vive wands where I just picked them up and it felt more intuitive.

>>240374791
I tell anyone informally but some degree of respect "Peace" or "Peace out" when I'm leaving. Whether it be work, etc. However in VR Chat I always greet people with my mic off with my left arm behind my back and my right arm making a 'Peace' sign in goodwill.

I don't know why.

>>240391932
Wait.
The more I read that the less optimistic I am. It seems to me it's a mere video codec that can use the onboarding tracking, if available.

Aw fuck I just realized what they did.
You remember when TPcast just took OpenTPcast and used it for their official drivers because it worked better than their own efforts? I'd bet my next paycheck that it's just ALVR in a fucking wrapper.

>>240396621
I don't remember the touch controllers ever feeling unnatural to me. What's unnatural about them for you? I have smallish hands, I've heard that the touch controllers are on the small side for some.

>>240396910
Well, that would be pretty terrible. Thankfully it seems there are actually demos they're doing at the show? So maybe someone will report with more details on it and what it actually is.

>>240396621
Literally what.
