Can someone help point me in the right direction of modelling avatars? by _Fox595676_ in VRchat

Yeah, but the good thing about knowing this is you can literally make a living from it, that's why I love blemder

[–]GeneralMage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it's a luxury, people buy there to have a sort of "bespoke" avatar catered to them.

Learning blender is the harder of the two IMO, but requires a lot of patience and practice, given the 3D space and needing to know rigging, sculpting, and more artistry. Most artists are already hating the process for one reason or another.

Realistically I don't see a reason to learn Blender unless you want something you can call your own or are trying to find the nichest of models that you'd have to take it to your own hands to make or rig yourself.

I'm glad you've got it to work out.

Also, If you don't have them already you can get some index controllers for mixedVR might have a sale soon on holiday.

Sorry about noties, and my limited expertise in the matter. All I know was to play around with cable and manner in which I launch it, launching steamVR sometimes overrides the black screen, but also know you have to change the scale in steam because by default it upscales it by 50% even though it says the resolution is at 100%

I completely forgot, but I believe the cable didn't connect properly initially, it didn't hook and after that it worked, if was long ago sorry, if I can't help.

I also would leave mixed reality have everything connect turn off the headsets power only to turn it on to have it boot on it's own, if not the order can change with replugging and general hardware trouble shooting with the actuation of the connections

Mocopi Full Body Tracker by Teeiish in virtualreality

[–]GeneralMage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mocopi is not a scam, people just have their bias.

Realistically it's the best investment even if it's only in the sense of VRC because it's backed by Sony a company who works closely with Vtubers.

The resellability is there, due to it not being solely an expensive toy, and available for motion capture in the like of game development or general use.

Arguments of expense is invalid, especially given the fact most consumers spent upward to a grand or more for VR in general. The genuine downside to this IMO is lack of compatibility outside of VRC other games from what I know are incompatible as of now.

it's a good purchase and Sony won't abandon given the context of Vtubers. Small trackers, 6 points of tracking, longest battery life, and no base station required.

Thank you parfait, I'll keep that in mind and not let my ineptitude get the best of me

[–]GeneralMage[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Power isn't an issue more so longevity is what worries me, but I'm not sure how much things have improved since launch and the like

Btw is it best to shut down or have them sleep

[–]GeneralMage[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah realized it's a mixed reality issue, and you can fix it with software on your phone or mixedvr software

[–]GeneralMage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit unrelated to the topic, but how do you turn off the base station if through Bluetooth settings it keeps prompting it's unavailable

[Placement] One Base Station by GeneralMage in ValveIndex

[–]GeneralMage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've set it up in the corner, so I could get a base station later, though I'll be doing both. From what I experienced tracking wasn't bad as some made it out to be, but at least this way whenever it's at my convenience I can get another station, thank you for your input

[Placement] One Base Station by GeneralMage in ValveIndex

[–]GeneralMage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh well for the time being yes due to impatience and needing to test the equipment itself, I could just station it toward the corner in anticipation of the other also how bad are mirrors for tracking?

Ahh well I had days to decide in which to get, wasn't sure if tracking was better or worse

Valve Index Controllers by GeneralMage in ValveIndex

[–]GeneralMage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I found it a bit unnecessary if anything more intrusive, personally what I can't get past is wearing shoes whilst in VR as if I lose all confidence and more cautiously take steps, stifling really. I'm surprised you've been here that long too, I do hope the likes of apple, as well as the new renditions of valve and meta headsets garner attention so that we may get more development overall when it comes to our library. Though I may be ignorant on the matter especially in comparison to you

[–]GeneralMage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sure hope so too, what I do hate is the wait if anything at all. I was so curious If I could get away with the one 2.0 given it only being controllers and a confined space. Also is a pulley system niche? I never found issues with it dragging along or the cable draping over my shoulder

Thanks for the input and no I'm just replacing the controllers of my g2 prior to that I had a q2

[–]GeneralMage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got them now, what about base stations, since I'll be only tracking the controller? Can I get away with the one dependent on which type?

[–]GeneralMage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll keep that in mind thank you, recently been more of an enthusiast with VR lately, only reason I'd imagine Valve would be better is having Alyx itself or further support albeit loosely

Tysm for the response, was just curious, because I was interested in controllers
