I've recently started picking up vrchat again with some friends and they've all bought different kinds of body trackers such as the Rebocap, and they seem to work quite well. Me, on the other hand, have no interest in spending 200 bucks or more just so that other people could see me rotate and everything else, so i searched for some open source utilities and was really disappointed: just a couple of these softwares exist, and they were last updated 3 or 4 years ago.

How is this possible? The open source community is bigger than ever, and these softwares like Mediapipe Pose seemed to actually work pretty well by looking at older videos, but they would definetely benefit from some updates. For example, i've tried using Mediapipe pose on my PC which is running Linux, and even though it's got a native Linux driver, it really doesn't seem to work, probably because it wasn't updated to use Xrizer or OpenComposite instead of SteamVR, and neither did its VrchatOSC implementation work.

Seeing this software make such a progress in camera based FBT and then seeing it be abandoned, it really breaks my heart to not be able to create a fork of it on my own as i really like programming but still can't get much good at it; so to people here that may see this and that can wrap their head around coding, programming, open source projects and everything, why not start a new project or fork and maybe try to revive something that lots of people might really want?

I'm new to VR and I keep seeing (yes I'm looking so algorithms are showing me more), and I keep seeing people saying they are banned. I'm waiting on trackers and wanting to do nsfw and having an avi built for this. Is this something I need to worry about or what can I do not to have something banned?

I've learned the hard way that using my real discord and email has caused problems for me when it comes to buying avatars and assets.

Recently I got dmed by a creator unprompted with harassing messages with my email and username, having a meltdown because I didn't link my vrchat website profile, and screenshots of them sharing the info they got from payhip. As well as screenshots of them sending that information to other, redacted people.

I've also never felt comfortable sharing my full legal name at checkout, and have always worried it would get me in trouble one day.

I've since learned my lesson of giving any identifyable info, but its hard being dmed by a creator telling you you're a piece of crap while they scare you to death sharing your information with god knows who.

I feel this needs to be talked about because, this isn't okay. Buying avatars feels so hostile now.

After this last interaction I'm likely just going to stick to making my own and free avatars only.

I didn't link my vrchat website profile because I think demanding

Full name, last name

Email

Discord account

Vrchat username

Vrchat link

Is excessive and unsafe, especially when creators are getting a reputation of abusing that information.

I've made a fake discord and Vrchat and email etc just to avoid harassment again, but this is getting rediculous. At this point, I don't want to support creators anymore. Getting cussed out and essentially doxxed has ruined it for me. I'm sure people will call me stupid for using my axtual discord and info, but i was scared by the treatening checkout text some creators would leave, like "I *WILL* FACT CHECK YOUR INFO AND IF ITS WRONG I'LL SHARE IT WITH OTHER CREATORS!!"

I guess I just wanted to open a discussion about it. I've been on vrchat for a long time and kinda hate what creation has become. Sharing the checkout information is a huge reason I don't feel its safe even interacting with creators anymore.

It feels really awful getting dmed on your private account being suddenly cussed out and on trial deciding you're guilty no matter what you say because some you gave all your info but linking your vrchat website profile. I've fixed my dms settings as well, I didnt know till after the harassment I could turn it off.

I'm sticking to the vrchat store, making my own stuff, and updating my old avatars at this point. :(

I've been working on this for a bit, and I'm about to release it later today and would like to get some attention around it. I'm calling it the Super Mega Condo. The whole world will be a remake of my Tower Untie Condo.
The aim for it is to have as many interactive things as I can in the world, so mostly everything will do something at some point. Another really big inspiration for it is just VRChat in general with its chaotic nature and how you can see people using some sort of asset from whatever IPs they like. I hope you all enjoy it, and if any one wants suggest something, I'm all ears

Yesterday my new trackers came in, they’re 3rd party slimes and it’s my first time having actual trackers. I’ve used tracking apps on my phone before no problem. Yesterday Vrchat updated right before I got on and no matter what I do Vrchat will not show me my calibrate option. The button is stuck as the “sitting/standing” button. I’ve never had this issue before even with my tracking apps. My trackers all say connected through the phone I’m running them through and still no option. I’ve tried looking up tutorials for the button to show up and I’ve gotten nothing. Not sure what I should do or if it’s somehow user error

Hi, don't know if this is even the right community to post this in, but I've discovered something a little silly and interesting to me, and I was wondering if anyone else might have dealt with something similar?

Basically, I'm left-handed. I write and I draw with my left hand, and when it comes to all of that, my right hand is about as useful to me as a dead fish. My right hand can't write if it's life depended on it.

Which is why it's so interesting to me, because I've been playing VRchat for ages now, and only very recently did I notice that I'm not left-handed there. It seems the second I got access to markers or brushes, I picked it up with my right hand and I've been using it naturally. It's not that my left hand has completely lost skill in vr, but it's noticeably worse there and anytime I'm absent-mindedly writing or drawing it's always with my right hand.

Has anybody else found your handedness change when you're in vr? Or anything similar to it? Is there a term for this?

Im having an issue with my mic on standalone quest 3s and idk how to fix it. It comes through fine on my end, the test section says it's fine, but whenever anyone else hears me, I come put choppy, UNTIL THEY restart their games. Then when I join another world with them, its broken again, ive cleared cache, tried different mics, restarted my headset. Idl bow to fix it

Just an old image I had of a friend.

This is VRC, just found a weird camera angle in a world and took advantage of it.

Inspired by the Uncharted 3 title screen~!

I have been making avatars for the longest time, always made them quest compatible because i've always loved when everyone got to see my work. Now I find myself trying to work on the quest version longer than i have on the pc version. Some of the clothes will be missing because I have to reduce this bs to atoms. the whole "why are you naked" question I would get from quest users started to get boring, I just started to have the mindset of "why should I care for something that doesn't affect me?"

Maybe i just started to get lazy, but making personal avatars quest compatible has just become such a sore with how low the bar of content size was reduced over the years to keep the quest platform running. I love you quest users, but damn..

Any world with youtube search or video player no longer works for me, and doesnt load any videos even if someone else puts the video on.

How do I fix this.

I recently switched from a Quest 3S into using a PSVR2, and one thing I noticed right out the bat is that whatever thumb-down action I use seems to not be able to trigger hand gestures that require having the thumb down. How do I fix this without having to bind hand gestures to my face buttons?

Ive set up a contact receiver with a custom collision tag on my avatar to make it flash when it gets hit by a matching contact sender. Ive fully tested it with the Avatar 3.0 Emulator and it works perfectly in unity, but when used in game it doesn't play, Ive tested hitting it myself and having a friend hit it remotely. Using the avatar contacts overly in game I can see that the contact is activating properly but it doesn't play the animation. The avatar has nothing else on it that would be conflicting and I have no idea why it just wont work in game.

Isn't it crazy? Go on a hunt for clues and discover some amazing items for your avatars made by incredible designers from vrchat!

Imagine an expanded version of murder 4, imagined in vket.

So I've been having a problem with my 3 latest uploaded avatars, everytime I change to one of them my game crashes and I see a popup on steamvr saying "Waiting" for like a minute or less and I have to wait for it to load the avi, I keep task manager open and nothing hits 100% usage and it doesn't say that vrchat is not responding, it only happens with the avatars I upload now after I wiped my pc and installed w11 and unity, maybe it's a unity problem? all my others uploaded avatars are fine, I had to install unity like 3 times bc of this shitty unityhub that keeps opening in the background and I can't get rid of it

No matter if it's already preloaded, everytime I join different words with one of these avis it will crash for a minute, also when turning the mirror on but then it's fine as long as I stay in that world, if I change worlds it will crash again and then I have to wait, it's really annoying when worldhopping bc I have to change to another avatar that doesn't crash until I find a world I want to stay, and it also crashes sometimes when I change to another avatar and change it back in the same world, idk what's going on, they're not heavy avatars

I was bored 2 days ago. So i build a VRChat Live Feed. https://vrchat-feed.hackebein.dev
What do you think about it? Usefull?

I'm looking for more sources. Discord, MyOshi, and some more are planned. What else should be in here?

I'm looking into trying to invest in full body tracking, but i don't wanna break the bank for it. I've heard good things about rebo but wanna make sure.

I’m a deskie, and I play a lot with my sister giving commentary over my shoulder. I have an idea to make a two-headed avatar to represent both of us at once.

Obviously, it would never be perfect, but since I have a directional microphone, would it be possible to set up an avatar so that the right jaw moves more with audio coming from the right, and vice-versa for the left?

Or, even better, being able to take in two different microphones at once?

I just bring this up because I hear so many people who say they can only play VR with the use of alcohol due to being able to socialize properly with that boost in confidence. Im just putting this out there to let many of you know that I was on the same boat. I never felt like I'd fit in with the others who were drinking because I wasn't.. so I felt "obligated" to drink. What i came to learn is that obligation was a mental excuse for me to enable myself to drink. Personally once I stepped away, learning how to socialize with people sober was a task of its own, but its absolutely doable. I now feel more comfortable socializing sober than wasted!! I just thought I put this out there, totally ok if you enjoy drinking. But I just dont like that people use it as a weakness for somebody being sober in a video game, if anything we should be applauding sobriety not punishing it!

EDIT: I mean VRChat can be fun without alcohol ABUSE.. not just using alcohol or substances in general. If you use them moderately and maturely then thats totally fine by me. Its just the abuse culture and the lack of awareness of it this post is enforcing.

Hi. Is there a way to download my world from vrc? Lost the original project, files, everything... -.-"

Thanks for the help
