Shy Red Squirrel, if found, give beer!

Makes fluffy VR avatars and writes heretical software.

🌰 VR Avatar Bases: https://squirrelbite.com
🌰 STF - 3D file-format for gamedev: https://docs.stfform.at
🌰 Code: https://github.com/emperorofmars
Methodology:

Unity: Thry's VRAM evaluator github.com/Thryrallo/VR...
Godot: VRAM Debugger

I assume Godot is storing blendshape values for every vertex, even if that vertex isn't part of the blendshape.

Is that correct, or is it possible that I misconfigured something?

I compared the same mesh with and without blendshapes & skinning.

The model has 237 blendshapes, including a big set of lipsync shapes, which affect only a small part of the mesh.

Find the model variants I used here: nextcloud.squirrelbite.com/index.php/s/...

Could also use one, for professional evaluation, of course!

USD is very cool, and works great for many artists creating an animated movie.

GLTF is for runtime loading and it will work for asset streaming. You may want to look into that.

STF is for getting 3D assets from DCCs into game-engine projects and vice versa.

Thanks for the kind words!

I fear STF will not work for streaming mesh data either, as it is a binary format.

There are different use-cases that require different kinds of 3D formats.

If you are using Index controllers, VRC will just ignore the muscle settings.

See feedback.vrchat.com/avatar-30/p/...

Made a small script which creates an estimated workaround with constraints: github.com/emperorofmar...

With the recent SteamVR Input 2.0 the hand posing also changed a lot. The patch notes mentions the finger posing is considering the Humanoid Muscle Settings,

"Fun" fact, on Blender-Objects, that are parented to something, the displayed values of the Location, Rotation and Scale, are likely to be relative to a completely random point.
Unfortunately, these are the values manipulated my animations -.-

Be damned `matrix_parent_inverse`! (srsly why)

These look amazing!
