Starting off with anthropology is such a genius move that aids people in the journey towards understanding optimisation. We optimise as an outward display of care for someone else's experience. I feel like there should be some studies done on asynchronous avatar representation 🤔

More travel, this time to a conference in Australia! Again to talk about the research possibilities of VR. This one is going to be a rather long journey but hopefully it goes well. #academia #academicsky #virtualreality #vr

"There's a lot of people when I was young who told me there were a lot of things I could not be; I'd like to think I've proven them wrong." A new episode of HEnabled is out! Listen now: linktr.ee/HEnabled ID and info below. #AcademicSky #HE #University #Disability #University #DisabilityPodcast

Thankyou to all those who helped on hosting and welcoming the researchers in. Wonderful to see how it tied everything together. This has been a long time in the making, go and show the people at @newscientist.com some love for their amazing work making science more accessible.

🌟 That’s a wrap on iGGi Con 2025! 🌟 Two incredible days of talks, panels, workshops, and keynotes celebrating research and innovation in games, AI, and interactive media. 💚 Huge thanks to our speakers, organisers, and attendees for making this year’s conference a success! #iGGiCon #GamesResearch

I don’t know how our club moderators smelled the frame time spike here, but they’re very real, and will chase you down on an e-scooter 😭 #VRChat

Oh boy, got the textures hooked up

Another quick showcase...

Calling all HE Inclusion and Careers teams! Do you want a new resource for your disabled students and staff? The HEnabled Podcast is a show dedicated to sharing experiences of disability, neurodiversity, and long-term health conditions in the British Higher Education system. More info below vvv

HEnabled is recruiting! If you have experience as a disabled person in British HE in any role, I would love to have you on the show! Drop me a DM or an email if you're interested :) #AcademicChatter #Disability #Neurodiversity #HE #HEnabled #DisabledCreator #DisabilityPodcast #University

Figured y'all might get a kick out of the fact I did a remote interview a few months ago with a bunch of Masters and Doctoral students as my avatar. Had questions about identity, interaction and even some about sleep in VR which was quite interesting. #academia #vrchat #VR

Instead of rageposting about being crashed by people with high-poly jewelry... I decided to be productive 😅 I hope you find this #VRChat tutorial helpful! youtu.be/NoY-Hqnj-fk

One of my long time mates just released a song they've been working on for years. Go and listen to it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWkl...

Light Volumes v.2.0.0 released! Now it has Light Volume based super optimized analytical Point Lights, Spot Lights and Area Lights. (Up to 128 at the same time) Ability to project images and cubemaps. Also baked shadow masks and even more features! github.com/REDSIM/VRCLi...

Once again leveling up the game when it comes to making these tools more stable and accessible!

Wonder how we are planning on handling a replay when we have changed the data format? Thankfully, HNode has support for transcoding! so you live-play the baked set through it, and it'll spit out a different data format by converting the existing one in the video

And just like that I'm on my way to @developconference.com. Looking forward to seeing everyone there! Exciting that this is my first Develop Conference! 😆 #gamedev #conference #develop2025

So it's Disability Pride Month. I have been disabled since I was very young. And sometimes in my life, it felt like I was a pinball machine constantly on tilt, or an anchor had been tied to my legs. But it never once stopped me from pushing forward. Or digging my heels in when I needed to

There are two very wonderful episodes in the world of HEnabled this week! Listen to the show: open.spotify.com/show/2njGJeh... If you're interested in being a guest, please don't hesitate to drop me a message. Episode synopses are below! #AcademicChatter #neurodiversity #HE #HEnabled

Like look at this...the cookies feature is amazing! Really enjoying having a semi unified system with this!

it's that simple now add filter select channel get audio v1.0.0. github.com/minteeaa/stir

WOW...this 2.0 update for LightVolumes + the Baked Volumetric Edit is HUGE for stage lighting! There are no projection meshes, nor volumetric meshes, just light volumes and fog. @sim.red you are a wizard🧙 @ikeiwa.dev you too are amazing for the continued support with the updates to the fog!

I put them on my booth for free, if you wanna get some speakers. Enjoy ^^ electrovrc.booth.pm/items/7109162

"Everything I do that involves students is through the eyes of the younger version of me" Dr. Eleanor talks about how anxiety changed their HE journey, from struggling to leave the house to becoming a lecturer. Listen now: open.spotify.com/episode/4QQB... #AcademicChatter#HE#anxiety#HEnabled

off this week, so im playing hard techno for sonar in about 2 hrs at their open decks. come party on a wednesday with us 🤗

Heya all, just want to say that my discord was temporarily used to post scams. All sorted now, but lots of clean up to do deleting the posts. Sorry to any affected, please do not click any links that I sent in the last hour or two.

This week on HEnabled, I am joined by Martin! Martin struggled early on due to dyslexia and did not enter HE until his 30s. He now holds five master's degrees. Listen to his story now: open.spotify.com/episode/4JtI... #AcademicChatter #Dyslexia #neurodiversity #HE #DisabilityPodcast #HEnabled

I now have @texel.bsky.social's AccessTXL working with ModernUIs! It can currently only be used to lock / unlock access of various UI elements, but this should cover most uses cases.

vrc light volumes integration

Anyone got some graffiti tags that I can throw in a world...if you do please DM them to me. #vrchat

Point Light Volumes prototype! They can be both Point and Spot Lights, can be calculated mathematically or use a special LUT texture that controls the cone falloff and attenuation! Up to 128 lights per scene. Works up to 3- 4 time faster than regular Light Volumes. AudioLink works too!

Spot Light Volumes! Everything is parametric here and not baked into a 3D texture, as regular light volumes, which makes it even more optimized. Will work on it a little bit more and see if it's worth to add it to the main project branch.

Been playing with some blueprint design vibes lately...I think something like this would look good on posters...it has a vibe. #vrchat #MadeForVRChat #blender3d #blender

VRC Light Volumes v.1.0.0 released! A VRChat asset that brings nextgen voxel based lighting into your worlds! Get it here for free on my GitHub: github.com/REDSIM/VRCLi...

'It's not too late to change things.' For this week's episode of HEnabled, I sat down with the wonderful Maddy to discuss their experience of Higher Education. Listen now: open.spotify.com/episode/1LDb... [Episode synopsis below]

the Marathon alpha released recently and its environments are covered with assets lifted from poster designs i made in 2017. @bungie.net @marathonthegame.bungie.net

"When the shit hits the fan, the fan is spinning VERY fast" This is the experience of Josh when it comes to managing his bipolar affective disorder (BPAD) in his life. I had the privilege to sit down with him to discuss his educational journey for the HEnabled podcast. The episode is available now!

It is all coming together! #vrchat #MadeForVRC #StageLighting

Decided to make a free open source version of Latrix, feel free to learn from my work and maybe even use it in your next world before you commit your hard earned money (CANADIAN MONEY btw) github.com/OwenTheProgr...

I want to take a moment to recognize the Harm Reduction that exists within our space Instead of the noise www.rave-aid.com vrc.group/AID.1187 And I want to push the notion that we do not shame people who find themselves imbibing. Accept that people will. Share resources that make it safer to do so.

Another amazing episode from @henabled.bsky.social! Go listen!
