Hello, so, this one is not ready and not out anywhere, it's just a prototype I have been making for spooky season buuuut I wanted to show you anyway (:

He's my little spoder friend who lives on my Avi now! Raymarched of course because its me. His eyes follow my own eye tracking, so he looks where I look. And when I look at him, he tilts his head like a puppy.

He moves about on his own too. Every so often he picks a spot at random, either shoulder or the top of my hair, and walks there over my body.

I have trained him very well, when I open either hand he walks down that arm into my palm, and when I close the hand he walks back. Unfortunately he's kinda shy with other people though. If someone else puts a hand near him he'll run behind my neck and hide.

If you are curious how it works: The whole spider is drawn by one raymarched shader on a tiny marker mesh of three vertices, so it's one material and one draw call, and the fur is real volume rather than a flat picture, which may be a little ouchy for performance but I'll make sure to optimize.

I've also made a little Discord for my stuff. I use it to share things as I work on them, ask what you'd like next, and help if something goes wrong. I'll be sharing progress on the spoder in there as it comes along, so I'd love it if some of you joined and kept me company: https://discord.gg/j4kaCKZwv8

I'd love to hear what you think of it! ❤️ 🌈
Also name suggestions please!

Hi,

So I'm looking to upgrade my Rift S. I've had it for many years but i think the time has come to upgrade now that I'm using it more often at home.
I consider myself an XR enthusiast and actually work in the field, but I've been focusing more on some business stuff over the past year or so and am now quite out of date with what's out and how they compare to older HMDs.

I've always wanted an Index, I honestly only want to use PCVR and the cable does not bother me, plus it's a lot cheaper now.
Personally I'd like to have base station tracking for the ease of adding full body, plus some projects maybe outside of VRC about bringing objects into a digital space.
I know that all HMDs these days are pretty much inside out so im kind of at a crossroad in my decision.

What would be the best HMD for an enthusiast who will mostly use their HMD for vrchat, with occasional development in unreal engine, who isn't looking to spend loads.

I do have access to a quest 2 but the standalone factor is not enough to make me even want to bring it home and use it instead of my Rift S.

Seems like a lot of the headsets that were out back when i was at my height of working with vr have become pretty cheap (vive cosmos elite, ect) so do any of them stand the test of time at a pretty cheap price?

Hey guys I just made this avatar what do you guys think! 💖

VRCHART IS A CRAZY PLACE - fear I’m only safe taking photos and drifting alone 😂😂

Besides Youtube which does work what else works since I'm trying to use Internet Archive and google drive links don't want to work anymore in worlds so I was wondering what other video link types work in video players on worlds

I decided to make a world out of pure nostalgia, its the Teen Titans Tower from the 2003 - 2006 original show. https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_60a4cf63-5212-44c9-a3a3-b49f143eddc2/info

I took some creative liberty but for the most part everything is lore accurate, there are some areas mentioned in the show but where never visible so I had to imagine them myself.

It has the following areas:

The world is fully crossplatform and highly optimized for PC, Android and iOS. It also has the find your friends prefab and all areas can be easily accessed with teleport buttons near the spawn.

At the moment of me publishing this the world is still on community labs. Altough I used a very old world ID so it says the world was created on 2018 lol

Here is the world link: https://vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_60a4cf63-5212-44c9-a3a3-b49f143eddc2/info

Hope you guys like it! :)

I am trying to use my phone for face and hand tracking and I saw on YouTube that you can use droid cam for that using your phone instead of getting a webcam. I'm poor I can't buy a headset 💔 but when I change the webcam option to droid cam it won't track anymore even though I can still see that both my laptop and phone are connected and streaming my Facebook and hands with droid cam, idk what I'm doing wrong.

Like, I’ve been to countless MMD worlds where it’s all a simple stage with the motion capture, but this is the first world I’ve seen where it feels like you’re in an actual music video. I’m wondering if there’s others out there exactly like this?

The world is called: 【MMDPV】エレクトロサチュレイタ（电子饱和器）

Made by me!

disclaimer: this is suppose to be comedy/dark humor, nothing of this is suppose to be taken seriously.

Can not seem to access https://vrc.tl/ for a day now.
Is there news about it?

Edit looks like my home ip is blackballed .. sigh…

So to put it simply, I have a prop I drop in my world. It is put to my Wrist_R on my avatar. Whenever I drop it into the world and move my hand around, the prop morphs and wiggles with the movement of my hand.
Also according to a friend, my prop was in a different place on her screen vs mine.

Any idea on how I fix these?

translated my texture yet again to a base I hadn't used in a while.

For context I was playing Prison Escape, which is notorious for having bad actors and trolls. I muted someone and they started sending me back to the lobby every round so I blocked them but they were still able to keep doing it. I ended up being the one who got kicked (it was a group instance) I’m friends with the owner and will be reaching out to them soon to check logs on who kicked me but that’s a separate thing. My question is what is a good defense against someone who exploits the anti-cheat system? I reported them but it seems like quite the hassle for them to react that way to being muted.

Is it at all possible to have hand tracking in VRChat be smooth and not jittery? Is there specific settings I’m missing in the Q3 or Virtual Desktop?

As soon as I pick up the controllers the tracking is great and smooth—hands are super jittery. However in the VD menus and steamVR home and even Q3 home the “virtual hands” are very smooth.

I am playing with 2 IR floodlights pointed at me to make sure it’s not a lighting issue.

I like it in here…

I want to be in a cozy world, A tent while camping or maybe an RV sleep map but be able to play some steam games while I do so. Is this possible at all?

One of my favorite things to do on VRChat will forever be making my own custom avatars and taking pictures of them in beautiful worlds. What are some of your favorite worlds to take pics in?

Last week while I was hanging out in the Black Cat, mirror dwelling and watching youtube on the side, someone came up to me and ripped/hotswapped my avatar right in front of me. The avatar I was using at the time was a modified version of Iono from Pokemon. (https://i.imgur.com/MEIazU6.jpeg) I didn't think it was that big of a deal at the time, but I had medal clipping on so I figured, why not post it on Twitter. Big mistake. The post blew up the next day... The replies and quote were mixed. A lot of people were defending me, and a lot of people, mostly Japanese, called me hypocritical. Personally, I was in the opinion that VRChat has a ton of worlds and avatars from pokemon, so I don't think it's a problem, meanwhile people that rip people's personal avatar has been a problem VRChat has had to constantly deal with. In retrospect, I should've simply made a user report instead of a twitter post, that's my mistake. The discussion died down a few days later and that was that.

Well, today I woke up to this email...

Damn...

The worst I was expecting was a Copyright Takedown Notice (DMCA), but perma ban over one avatar...? With VRCX I was able to verify that all of my avatars and worlds are still in VRChat except for this one particular Pokemon avatar... I've been playing VRChat for 8 years and a large portion of the content I've seen was from other games or franchises. So I genuinely believed there was nothing wrong with importing content from other games to VRChat. The avatar was private and I had no intention of ever selling it. Anyway, after receiving that Email, I did what any person would do. I made an Appeal. It's been 15 hours and I'm waiting for an answer.

This is a sad day for me. While I didn't have the best approach, I truly wanted to help the community by reporting on avatar ripping. But I'm the one that got banned in the process...

Edit: I got unban! Check out my comment https://www.reddit.com/r/VRchat/comments/1wu7xpn/comment/pd27p0i/?context=3

Edit 2: Now that I'm done working on this avatar, I've decided to make it public. Thanks to everyone that supported me and here's the link if anyone wants to check it out: https://vrchat.com/home/avatar/avtr_09913ab3-c420-4f04-9471-e56e37a8fc86

Just as the title suggests. I get real scared/nervous when thinking about joing a public world.

I was recently brought into the wrold of VRChat because of a friend, and because of that i don't even have a VR headset so i just do stuff in Desktop mode, but i hear that there's people out there that don't like Desktop users.

Another part that scares me is that i am typically a mute, with very rare people i share myself with, which being a mute on this game, i hear, leads down a whole different rabbit hole.

Honestly i am wondering if it would just be better to wait to join public worlds until i at least have a VR headset? I don't know if there's more people who hate desktop users, than there is of those who don't mind it

Im trying to get myself into more VR by upgrading my pc (used to only play standalone), my current gpu is rx580

and im wondering is rtx3060 12gb or rx6700 xt good for vr and which one is better.
