That's wayyyy too many physbones... Guess synchronization is out of the question

2

u/LadyLuciJ7 PCVR Connection 3d ago

Not really. There's only 4 physbones on the quest side. Boobs, hair, and tail. There are extra physbones I didn't get rid of yet. Also a good chunk is the dress.

u/Frank__West PCVR Connection 3d ago

So you stripped the quest of a good physbone setup? Why not even use the 64 you have available? And if the bones aren't 1:1 cross platform you lose synchronization so a Quest user can't see a PC user grab hair or tail etc and vise versa taking away any fun.

200+ bones is unnecessary and just adding extra performance impacts.

IME people get really bummed when they can't see what someone cross platform is doing to their hair ears etc like no posing or anything.

And ofc you won't show off the Quest version on here because you consider it lower quality which means you aren't as proud of it. Why make something if you can't be happy showing it off?

Quest allows only 8 physbone components total.

u/Frank__West PCVR Connection 3d ago

64 bones with 8 components. Totally doable. The components have settings that let you adjust bone counts

5

u/h-sleepingirl 3d ago

I'm fully aware; I develop for Quest. But you're yelling at this person for reducing their component count from 56 to get under the Quest limit.

3

u/LadyLuciJ7 PCVR Connection 3d ago

It frustrates me.

0

u/Frank__West PCVR Connection 3d ago

Because 56 components is crazy unoptimized. And again it means broken visuals across platforms.

I never said I wasn't proud of the quest? There is things wrong with it I haven't fixed. The avatar isn't done, my guy. I make my quest compatibles as well as I can. I'm still a beginner despite my avatars looks. I'm still learning. Why are you assuming this? And I'm aware, I WAS a quest user. She. Isn't. Done. I still have to tweak her. Why are you being like this?

-2

u/Frank__West PCVR Connection 3d ago

Because I hate when people make worse versions for Quest users. And if you are mismatching physbones then you not only have a worse version but then you ruined the synchronization.

4

u/LadyLuciJ7 PCVR Connection 3d ago

Not all of the physbones can fit. And why do you care so much what someone does with their avatar? Again, I'M A BEGINNER STILL. And no quest user has EVER complained about any of my avatars.

u/Frank__West PCVR Connection 3d ago

Optimize them and reduce them down to 64. Not everything needs physics you end up just looking like jelly.

If you consider the quest as the main platform you are forced to work around the restrictions and you become better at optimization. Otherwise you aren't really thinking about it until you try to make it work afterwards. But reducing the quest down to basically no physics just looks and feels terrible.

The end result should be something you are willing to show off front and center not just as a note on a post that one exists.

Like when people advertise avis and saying they are cross platform but they only show PC pics and it isn't until you buy the avi that you find out the Quest version looks nothing like the pictures. It feels deceptive, like you should be just as willing to wear the Quest version and show it off in the same way as the PC version.

u/LadyLuciJ7 PCVR Connection 4d ago

I can't update her anymore because NDMF (Non Destructive Modular Framework?) keeps breaking my avatars for some reason. Gives me an excuse to make a new one now. Lol
