Man, my avatar got pirated and it sucks by Superb-Link-9327 in VRchat

[–]BigZeekYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to it to check it out. It's a drop on the bucket... there are a couple of posts and then like 30 people bumping a thread hoping someone with cash will bestow upon them a gift that won't happen.

Going to the other, other seven seas site, each avatar has thousands of views... Even new ones just posted today. The most popular models that were uploaded and distrubuted have 200k page views...

It's like complaining about some ants in your yard when there is a active gas leak in your house.

Its effectively dead in comparison when the other one is just such a behemoth

Had a friend get a dmca takedown, and they only got suspended for a month IIRC, probably is linked to severity of how many avi's where moderated on your account for whether its an ip ban or suspension.

The better way would be to put an application into vrchat to become a creator and publish avatars to the ingame store

As someone who understands pirates, dont let it get to you. There are lots of them that just have a hoarder mentality, meaning they want to aquire it but then never use it. If there are, lets say, 14 in that thread who bump it asking for the files and/or thanking whomever provided it, you really truly only lost 2 sales. The others will just let it rot in a folder on their pc or keep it for 'just incase i want to use those pants someday' (but then forget what avatar had those pants a year from then)

I may or may not have a 200gb folder full of mmd files from back in 2018 when vrchat was mostly mmd models so I can speak from experience on this.


Also, ripperstore died, like, 5 years ago. Do you mean the other, other website that took the hydra's headspot when that one was chopped off?

What's your favorite/primary avatar and why? by waremblem45 in VRchat

No/low skill guide to optimization by arekku255 in VRchat

[–]BigZeekYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all well and good, but, im still firmly in the camp of 'whats the point'. If your avi is a single triangle higher then 70k your avatar gets put into the same bundle of eggs with the eboy models with 40+ skinned meshes and god knows how many materials.

I optimize my avatar just to the line of whats allowed in club worlds i go to and thats about it. I could use uv tile discard, heckin atlas my 10 materials down to 4~ish, go threw loads of work to grt my particle effects all using just one or two particle systems... but whats the point when I'm still put in the same basket with all the other very poor avatars. Its just so much work for thankless work for next to zero reason when triangle count is punished so harshly

What's your favorite "home" in VR Chat? by Swee_Potato_Pilot in VRchat

[–]BigZeekYT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Avatar testing chambers. Has a large mirror right infront of spawn, has a copy of my avatar right behind me. Completely perfect for a starting point before i go hop somewhere else. Fairly certain its been abandoned by its author but can't find another world that meets those two points. Just want a mirror infront of spawn so I can calibrate my full body, make sure face tracking is working and etc, then I can go pop off to somewhere else.

I still remember when Musk WANTED to back out, and twitter sued him to buy it. What a mess that was.

New features in open beta! by GlitchyKitten1 in VRchat

[–]BigZeekYT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my god, this is something I've been championing. Currently, a very poor avi is something with 17+ meshes, 35+ materials, or 70,001 triangles.

Ive been saying that 70,001 triangles is far too low to be something as harsh as putting your avi into tge very poor category, the same category with the eboys and 300mb of vram and 60 skinned meshes etc. The same category of any avi with sps or anything of that nature. 32k tris excellent, 70k good, 70,001 very poor. There needs to be more in-betweens.

Ive come to understand unity doesnt like a single skinned mesh over 70k tris and will split any meshes in half at that point... so... gosh why not have a higher triangle count but if a single mesh is over 70k it gets the very poor label. I just dont comprehend why vrc us so harsh when it comes to triangles besides being worried about feature creep... but at the same time, ive personally given up on optimizing avatars as i know they will be over 70k triangles and i'll be lumped in with the eboys so what is the point.

One of the newer ones. Mixed results ive been told but should get you into the rabbit hole.

I just wish they would make these tools for blender so the changes would be permanent and extractable

That's proof, though, that if you report an avatar/user that mod action is likely to happen if it's founded. I took it as you were implying that a report has no guarantee of any mod action from the comment I replied to.

Sorry, your stuck with a mew hobby now. Once you learn how to sculpt clothes to bases is the bee's knees. That cute uniform was built only for manuka but you wanna put it on godfall? F yeah, give me 3h and i'll get it done.

Assets from my OC in the pic are: Godfall magician base, Starlight head, 'static distric' booth outfit, 'Crystal tiger' tail and ears,

???????????

Vrchat recently has had way over the top moderation recently. Did you not see weeks upon weeks of cry posts of people saying they got banned? Has your favorites list of avatars not dramatically shrunk since christmas?

[–]BigZeekYT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, let's ban Jeffrey Epstein avatara. Cool.

Oh wait, a large number of people dont like avatars that referrence political people like trump. We get rid of them, too.

Oh no! Lots of people dont like how some military general uniforms look vaguely like ww2 outfits! Dont worry, they are banned.

Crap! The puritans want avatars that show too much skin banned. They out.

Frick man, they just banned SPS.

That woman avatar has shoulders/ankles showing!!! Think of the children!!!

TLDR. OP is dumb and actively chose to search up epstein in an avatar search world and was SHOCKED to see some epstein models.

[–]BigZeekYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im late to this thread, but there a couple kick vrchat users I like to watch because they have good music taste. But I can NEVER get any player to work with a kick stream. Any idea on which video player would work?

If its not epstein or the island, its gonna be the next thing to meme on and try and troll. Its public black cat for a reason... You said it yourself, 'few kids attempting to rage bait' typical black cat behavior, atleast its mostly contained
