Discussion Do most people pay for avatars? Or do they just use stolen ones?

74 Upvotes

I know I'm gonna sound super nooby for saying this, but I only JUST discovered Gumroad and the ability to purchase and upload avatars yourself into the game. Needless to say, my wishlist is massive and my wallet is hurting. I've only purchased one so far, but it feels good having such a unique avatar that feels like me.

Looking at a ton of these popular avatars, especially ones by FoxiPaws, I'm only now just realizing I've seen tons of these avatars before. But I came to the realization someone could just upload an avatar as public and allow cloning. When I've told people I've paid for avatars, they act like it's a wild concept and a waste, but are using an avatar that isn't free. Are most users really just using stolen avatars?

If a creator were to find out about this, what recourse is there if any?

Discussion Booth Chill Group Confusion

Hey y'all! So I’m not sure if I’m reading this incorrectly or getting the wrong idea, but why do the rules say no furries? Aren’t a lot of booth avatars furries? I brought this up because I was thinking about joining the group, since I have a booth furry avatar, until I read the rules. Unless the rules imply that Gumroad furries are not allowed? What do you guys think of this?

Discussion New Foxigen Texture what you all think?

Post image
44 Upvotes

So I was putting in a new texture I bought and while doing so I added a new emission layer, I put it on the wrong layer and ended up with a cool effect with an asymmetrical colour gradient.

And honestly I love it. The whole thing has come off reminding me of Ghost in the Shell. And I really couldnt be happier.

So this is my new Foxigen I guess.

Help Good way to connect a physbone chain between two points?

Post image
Upvotes

So I'm trying to make a toy that has a string hang between your hands.

I know I could just... grab it, but I would really prefer if this was controlled by a toggle. Something that can't be easily dropped, and doesn't require you to grab the end to get the effect.

I tried constraining the end of the chain, but that looks wrong. It doesn't "hang" the end of the chain from that point like you'd want it to, just send the end flying to that location.

InsideBounds collider doesn't seem to work either, the child bones can't force the parent's physbone anywhere they weren't gonna go.

I would rather not just have the string pulled taught across the hand either, which would be an easier solution (just one bone pulled across), but wouldn't look as nice.

Any advice before I try setting up some godawful constraint mess for every bone on the chain to make it look right?

Discussion Is Fish! still worth playing? What’s actually new in the latest update?

14 Upvotes

Hello everyone. A couple months ago I started playing Fish! and I was having a great time collecting all the fish and rods. I got up to around level 200 and eventually the game started feeling pretty repetitive, so I took a break.

I recently came back after hearing there was a new update. I played for a few hours, saw the Leviathan, but things still felt pretty quiet. I overheard some other players saying the world is basically dead now and the creator rarely adds new content.

Can anyone explain what has actually been added recently, how to unlock the new stuff, or whether it’s even worth investing more time into the game?

Also, I’m always looking for new people to hang out with in game. I’m a 36 year old unc, but I’m not age verified. My bank doesn’t offer a Visa debit, and a prepaid Visa got flagged when I tried to buy VRChat+, so I’m kind of stuck without it.

My username is Mar×Mar. I’m into anime, gaming, and stand up comedy. If anyone wants to chill in game, feel free to add me. I’m open to anyone, furries, LGBTQ+, whatever, as long as you dont diddle your pets or touch kids, I'm sure we'll get along.

Help Asset to Block my View

Good morning!

I'm trying to make a blindfold work as one might infer a blindfold to work, but adding a "show in first person" VRCFury component to it doesn't seem to have worked. Is there some other way to do it? Or am I just doing it wrong?

In case anyone's curious, its for a maze race. The racer is blind and has to be directed by their teammate who can see the whole maze.

Help Quest avatars with FT support?

5 Upvotes

Are there any quest compatible avatars with face tracking support built in that I can buy?

I have a quest pro, and while I have my own PC compatible avatars with face tracking support, I'd like one that I can use with friends who play VRchat on quest standalone, for them to see an actual avatar and not just a pixelated imposter of my PC one.

Logic says that the blend shapes required for full face tracking would make a quest avatar too heavy... But I thought I should ask anyway.

Discussion Long charger for quest?

1 Upvotes

So I have a quest 3 and just figured out how virtual desktop works, but my battery dies pretty fast even with the extended battery. Only get like 3-4 hours of it.
I was wondering if anyone knows of where to get a really fookin long charger cable for it so it can be plugged in while I play and I'll hopefully not vanish mid-conversation again...
