Adding MMD to more avatars and just dealing with the horrors of blendshapes defaulting to 1 when created in Blender 5.0.

God, got hit with this last night and what a wild 5 years its been. Met my wife and many, many good people. Learned Unity, relearned Blender(previously used 2.x in school) & paintdotnet for avatar work. VRChat has helped me through some tough times by keeping me in contact with so many good friends.

Today I learned that Unity does not update files that need changed in a project(Sometimes?) until some point later, but will immediately update the project if a file is changed at any point by an outside program...

Quickly discovering how much of an afterthought PCVR is with the Vive Focus Vision. Been trying to come up with ways to avoid having to buy multiple batteries and doing hot swaps for "extended" (i.e. normal PCVR use). The streaming cable provides power, but went bad after roughly 1/3rd...(cont.)

Not only can I not decide on a single avatar in VRChat I can't decide on a single color for the avatars. With VRC detecting mat swaps for texture memory I've started taking off my toggles and just doing different uploads and... some of my scenes are starting to look silly.

The best way to avoid getting new avatars for me is to remember that if I do get one I won't use it much until I add everything for FT & MMD.

Exploring ways to fix a smile that's too big for the teeth in the mouth. I could.. change each involved blendshape to be more sane, move the teeth around, make sure the inside of the mouth doesn't move with the lips... or I could just make the teeth longer and not care about the nightmares.

I've added MMD to so many models that I have it down to a routine. Facetracking & viseme blendshapes make things a ton easier, but I think this is the fourth time adding it to the Chipori. It's something I'm excited to do, but it's a bit draining to redo work. I'll still do it for my funny dances.

Just sat here watching a squad one by one walk into radiation to loot bodies that died in said radiation. Good to see stalker 2's looking more and more like the SoC I remember.

Not sure how often I'm going to use this, but guess I can use it to post things from random projects I'm doing. Like trying to figure out why this cloth keeps poking around for no reason. Turns out spinning things rapidly is the easiest way to find a complete lack of weight painting.
