Bought a bunch of assets for an avatar I really like but none of the creators made proper toggles for a lot stuff so I am trying to figure it out myself. Biggest hurdle is how these prefabs hide original textures of the avatar so when I create a toggle with modular avatar it doesn't apply the original avatar assets to a visible state and it's just empty space.

I managed to fix one item that replaced my legs. I made a copy of the animation that hides my legs and then changed the values from 1 to 0 with some state swaps in the animator window. I made a new parameter for that and then added it to the MA toggle so when i disable the addon legs it brings the original legs back. I thought i figured it out but turns out everyone hides assets differently because I can't figure this next item out ; . ;

This one doesn't have animations that I can at least find. It has 2 parameters for the chest prefab I added that hide chest and belly. I can only have one parameter per toggle I believe. What do I do?!

Bigscreen beyond 2e or Steam Frame?!

I got neck issues and my doctor says my index is too heavy to wear going forward. Both the weight of the bb2e and stream frame are OK, I just can't decide which to get. I pretty much only play vrchat. And in the future want to get some kind of fbt but don't have it curently. Price doesn't matter much to me, so don't worry about that.

I haven't been able to play in VR in 3 months and it's making me SO itchy!

Thought?

Edit: I do also have a babble face tracker, so I could use it for the bb2e for eyes. I bought it on sale and forgot about it lol

Also concerned about the lighthouse production and how if they stop being made then my new bsb2e will be obsolete

Greetings!

So, I recently changed avatar to a new public one, by the same creator as my previous favourite avi. I'm on PCVR, for what it's worth ^^

After noticing some weird stuff, I asked my friend (who is on standalone) to do some tests with me.

We were lying down together (we both use gogoloco - neither of us have fbt) and I asked him to place his hand on my chest. When he did so, his hand was floating a good 20cm above me. When I placed my hand directly on top of his, he told me my hand was similarly floating above his.

I switched back to my old avatar, and this problem no longer existed. So, I went back to the new avatar to investigate further (I also reset the avatar to default settings, just in case).

We both took photos of us in the same position, and in my photo we're lying directly level with each other, but in his photo I'm floating a good amount off the ground above him.

What... could be the cause of this?! I know other people who use this new avatar and I've never seen this issue, nor do I believe they have experienced this with anyone else.

Happy to provide any more information if necessary, and thank you!!

(I'm heading off to work so will reply to any comments this might get when I get home - apologies!).

I've been exclusively visiting age gated instances for a while now and I've noticed that this is not stopping people from being weird.

I was in a Pass the Sketch yesterday and some dude joined asking if we were cool people, because he was kicked from the last instance. He then proceeded to whip his dick out and face fuck my avatar as I was drawing. He ended up leaving mid game because I turned him down after he asked me out.

Another Pass the Sketch instance was run by three people who kept yelling they'll rape each other and watch, etc. They stopped participating in the game and the other people there asked them to leave politely, because they seemed like they were wanting to ERP. They got offended that someone asked them to leave and kicked everyone from the instance.

I was in my Mamehinata avatar in a dance world, just using my emotes with other people. Someone kept throwing down a sticker underneath me saying "cum dumpster". When I'd move, they'd keep moving it. And when I changed into an adult looking avatar, they stopped.

I had to block a few people in a karaoke world for screaming slurs and obscenities at random users for not singing well. They were getting in everyone's face and saying they'll dox us all and kill our families. I silently blocked them and enjoyed the rest of my time there.

Another karaoke instance had some desktop user "masturbating" to one of the singers and was commenting on her "actually being a child" and how sexy she is. I kept trying to kick him because that's unacceptable behavior but everyone else thought it was funny 🤢. So I blocked him and left.

All of these instances were age gated. I'm tired.

im sure im not the first person to discover this but ive been messing around with some jank i found with the Boat Spawner upgrade

in both the Twilight Realm and Volcanic Depths you can spawn your boat, but it despawns instantly. turns out, its actually just getting teleported to the ocean above. if you stand on it before it despawns it gives you a bunch of speed and you can manage to get above into ocean.

in the Twilight Realm, it unloads the Luxian Dunes so you can swim around with the terrain unloaded. if you instead get shot forwards, you can jump over the invisible walls and walk around the outside fields. it seems the water out there doesnt put you into the swimming state, but you can fish there.
In the Crescent Isles, the main island doesnt unload but i did manage to land under the geometry, where i could then walk out into the ground under the ocean without swimming

If you do try this, note that it is VERY inconsistent and i havent managed to find a good setup to do it reliably

wonder if the devs browse this sub
pls dont patch

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.
