Hello everyone, quick announcement! In my NUCLEUS II world, I'm building a corridor where each frame displays a 3D portrait of different players. If you would like to be included, you can visit the world I'll post in the replies! #VRChat

Hello everyone, quick announcement! In my NUCLEUS II world, I'm building a corridor where each frame displays a 3D portrait of different players. If you would like to be included, you can visit the world I'll post in the replies! #VRChat

It's still too early for a release date, but the modelling part is mostly done, hopefully I can finish the modeling part at the end of this month. I'll share a few more pics #VRChat

If anyone's interested getting the Spiri'vali base model, the same base model I've been using for more than a year, it's currently on sale 👇 It is currently my favorite Avali base, and it comes with face tracking natively

Silent's fake light shader (gitlab.com/s-ilent/fake...) seems to work really well for adding subtle, glowy fog effects, like I did below with a few skyscrapers. I put the fog material on a big sphere, then placed a sphere on top of each skyscraper. #VRChat

Due to popular demand, I uploaded that scene as its own world. It will remain private until I consider it finished (I am not sure when I'll work on that world again, I'm busy working on NUCLEUS II) Link : vrchat.com/home/world/w... Feel free taking/sharing pics/vids #VRChat

Can't recommend @orels1.bsky.social's shaders enough, even just standard; it runs great on Android/iOS while also having reflection probe occlusion that makes baked scenes pop more. There are also notes in-UI like this, making features understandable for less-technical people like me w/o research:

That scene changed a bit, and I added Light Volumes. For the rain, I used Mochie's particle shader, which supports Light Volumes. #VRChat

(1/5) UV TILE DISCARD UV Tile Discard is a really interesting feature supported by Poiyomi, LilToon, etc. It lets you toggle parts of a mesh on and off without needing to use blend shapes or multiple Skinned Mesh Renderers (SMRs), great for performance ranking! #VRChat

My panel about VRChat world optimization is now up on Furality's YouTube channel! Feel free to check it out. Link in the reply

Malikart2022 recently released a new liminal-space VRChat world, and I’d recommend checking it out if you enjoy that genre! The place is big, it took me about 40 minutes to reach the end (and I probably missed a few spots) Poolroom Wonderland: vrchat.com/home/world/w... #VRChat

Inspired by the VRChat world "讐復を能える for VRChat" (by yu_nakaito) that features a system that plays an Audio source through the VRChat camera, I tried to do something similar for fun. The second part shows that the audio source is attached to the lens, not the actual camera screen.

That's not an animation, just Unity physics, I'm pretty impressed how well it works #VRChat

Have you ever wanted to be a ball and just roll around without a care in the world? vrchat.com/home/world/w... (This world is just a private prototype, but feel free to visit via direct link. Also: Audio on for the video!)

That place became a bowling alley. I'm trying to add weird stuff that doesn't make much sense in pretty much every room #VRChat

(1/2) Using Ikeiwa's LV Volumetric fog shader and RedSim's "Point Light Volume" component, I was able to simulate a fan casting shadows in some fog. #VRChat

Prototyped a world based wardrobe for changing the clothes on my #VRChat avatar with the world dynamics SDK that's currently in open beta. The cool shit potential is insanely huge with this!

World PhysBones just got released in open beta (SDK 3.9.1) ! To test that new component, I made a door that works without any Udon code, and it was relatively easy to setup. Functionalities are very similar to avatar PhysBones, bones can be pushed and grabbed #VRChat

(1/5) A little thread about render queue and depth buffer: Wanna take pictures of your VRChat avatar with a nice depth of field, but transparent parts of your avatar aren't in the same focus plane? Set the render queue of transparent materials to below 2500, like 2499, and enable ZWrite. #VRChat

I just published a new version of the glass shader, it now supports : - LTCGI - Scrolling normals - Chromatic aberration I also fixed some minor issues. #VRChat github.com/MyroG/MyroP-...

I released on my GitHub a new shader : Frosted Glass. The shader uses the scene's environment reflection (reflection probe) to fake transparency : The shader is actually fully opaque and doesn't use any grab pass. You can download it here : github.com/MyroG/MyroP-... #VRChat

On VRChat, I sometimes stay on Orange since I’ve got friend groups that don’t mix well, like EN speaking friends joining a GER speaking instance etc. I think it would be nice if we could set status per friend category (In the above case, "Green for Germans, Orange for others")

The last Bakery update added the component "Bakery Light Filter", which allows you to easily bake light shining through stained glass, you just need to add that component on your stained glass mesh. No need to use custom cookie textures on your light sources anymore! #VRChat

There are many amazing shaders out there, but I would also recommend trying out the shaders made by Orels (@orels1.bsky.social) Here, I am using Orels puddles shader shaders.orels.sh/docs/orl-sta... I'm also a big fan of how everything is beautifully documented. #VRChat

I think I have a new favorite water shader : Silent's clear water shader gitlab.com/s-ilent/clea... #VRChat

I tried to make toilets no one will ever want to use

A few months ago, I shared a music visualizer shader on my GitHub (see quote). I recently added that visualizer to my avatar. I wasn't so sure where to place it, but I decided to put it on my shoes. I'm pretty happy with the results. #VRChat

I used bicubic sampling on my avatar to reduce texture resolution and lower texture memory usage. 1. 4k texture 2. 256px texture 3. 256px texture with bicubic sample 4. 256px texture with bicubic sample, sharpened using floor(sampledColor + lineThickness) #VRChat

(1/7) I took a few selfies with JD Vance ^^ #VRChat

If you're tired of that annoying network ID error that can occur at pretty much any time and prevent worlds from being uploaded or tested inside Unity, I highly recommend this tool! It will save you time, and less headaches... #VRChat

I experimented around with an opaque waterslide shader that uses a blurred panosphere to fake transparency and light shining through it (translucency or subsurface scattering). The second image shows what the slide would look like with a regular unblurred panosphere. #VRChat

Balloon day ^^ Also, happy independence day to those in the US!

I just learned something really cool : How to evenly space objects in Unity youtube.com/watch?v=3D3q... This is gonna be really useful to me

Red_sim's light volume + Ikeiwa's baked volumetric shader + Bakery spotlights, with "physical falloff" turned on (a checkbox on the bakery light component), and a custom cookie texture for a more uneven lighting effect. #VRChat

I made something silly again, I was curious to see how it would look like if I added a music visualizer shader effect on my "Spiri'vali balloon" avatar. You can try the avatar here vrchat.com/home/avatar/... #VRChat

I'll try to not post too many WIP screenshots, to not spoil too much, but here's one thing I did this week. #VRChat

After using Mochie's Standard shader for 2 years, I wanted to try out z3y's lit shader. Today, I discovered that creating a Lit material automatically assigns all textures included in the folder. There's also an included channel packing tool.

Let's see how long it will take me this time... #VRChat

Thanks everyone for watching my Furality panel about optimizing VRC worlds! I hope you enjoyed it and learned something new 👍 #VRChat

This year at Furality, I have a panel about the basics of optimizing VRChat world, Friday 6th of June, 10PM CEST (Central European time), 4PM EST. Feel free to watch the event if that's something you're interested in!

So I got a Furality voucher code, but I couldn't find anyone who wanted it, so I'll give it away here. If you don't have a ticket yet, you can participate at this giveaway by just replying with a picture of your avatar, and I'll pick a random winner this evening! #VRChat

I decided to release the parallax shader on my GitHub, it's pretty much the same shader I use on my visor. github.com/MyroG/MyroP-... #VRChat

For Furality Somna, I reworked my "Tron Spiri'vali", and this is what I did so far. Now, I'm mostly waiting for the Furality assets to be dropped, and I'll try to add them, but I want to keep the avatar medium. You can clone the avatar here (WIP) : vrchat.com/home/avatar/... #VRChat

Yesterday, I tried making a shader-based music visualizer, and this is what I did so far. You can download the shader on my GitHub github.com/MyroG/MyroP-... Feel free using it in your world or even your avatar #VRChat

I updated VRbomber with 3 new maps and a bunch of small bug fixes #VRChat

This is how it would look like if 125 000 Spiri'valis danced the Orange Justice. Just a quick benchmark/experiment I did using VAT (Vertex Animation Texture) github.com/fuqunaga/Vat..., those are GPU-Instanced Mesh Renderers, not Skinned mesh Renderers! #Unity #VRChat

VRC Light Volumes is a next-gen voxel based baked volumetric lighting solution for VRChat, I'm working on right now! It affects avatars, dynamic props, etc. Works really fast without major overhead even on Quest. It will be fully open-source and free, so stay tuned! #vrchat #gamedev #shader

I finally had some time to visit that world today. And holy shit, one of the best looking VRChat worlds I've seen so far! I loved the sense of scale (everything feels so massive), the SFX, the animation etc. A world that needs to be visited in VR. vrchat.com/home/world/w...
