I can't believe I'm saying this, but we need (natively supported) feet contacts.

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

180 unique icons made for the VRChat radial menu! These icons are sure to make your toggles and customisations more interesting and easier to distinguish! :D

I've been informed that the idiom is actually "not all heroes wear capes"
y'all gotta tell me this stuff

Real heroes don't wear capes 🙌🏼
So there I am, looking at my 90k poly avatar edit, pondering whether 70k is truly the limit I should be aiming for.
"Shoud it not be different?" - I ask myself.
"Yes... It should be 60k".
And I start dissolving edges, like a real masochist.

A splat... inside of a splat?
This is one of the first Gaussian Splats taken from inside VRChat! (...at least as far as I know)
Captured with VRChat Camera "Fly Mode;" processed with Blender, Reality Scan, and Brush.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again; VRChat Toon Standard is SUCH a powerful shader for mobile. What an upgrade from what we had before.
I've been able to make tons of toggles by animating the RGBA detail masking and still keep avatars medium or better on Quest.
10/10.
