path tracing on VRChat? it's more likely than you think

(flashing lights)
my next visualizer was going to be a path traced tunnel but the rendering cost is too high, so i decided to scrap that and leave what i did here.
idk what i expected when adding path tracing to vrc

I hope to go somewhere with this

Normal-oriented thickness map test (failed successfully)
The script took me too long to make so imma leave this here

I added a new category on my gumroad for the shaders i make, most of them will be free.
So yee i released this shader i had for a while, i only used it for one of my avatars but i made it customizable for most avatars.

I still have to be careful with it since vert programs have less performance than frag
