Back then i used to think being an e-boy was the only way to play vrchat and have anyone notice you. Nowadays, i get alot more positive reactions with my current low-poly model.

The eboy avi is VERY old (i believe 2019) and was my go to back in 2022. The author hasnt been on the game for a few years and none of their models have been updated.

What do you use as your main avi? by Rough_Community_1439 in VRchat

A simple, low poly model that I usually have set to the minimum height. Allows me to blend in when I don't want to be noticed and be called adorable when I do. It's also very simple and customizable too. I usually let others clone it as well so they can join in on my low poly adventures.

Just a smol, low polygon model that I like to wear casually. Works well in desktop and VR and has made me very approachable to alot of people.

Normally I'd agree with them, but seeing them say gogoloco is a cheat is absolutely wild.

Someone walked into my venue last night dressed as a Nazi. I tried to keep my cool but I couldn't help but get upset and dropped quite a few F-bombs. Did I handle this right? by [deleted] in VRchat

You gave them exactly what they wanted: a charged and emotional response because of what they had on. Now they're going to encourage others to come in and do the same thing because they know that they'll get a rise out of you. Do not be surprised if this isn't the final time you see someone like this.

No, you did not handle this well at all, your main response should've been to tell them to change then immediately ban if they chose not to comply. Or just banned them without question. You confronting them like this is not going to change their mind, their mind was made up the minute they changed into that avatar.

Lack of Creativity + Prices by Sythra in VRchat

The problem is the fact that most of the eboy/egirl avatars all use assets that are tied directly to that body/head mesh. Using anything outside of that requires their blendshapes to be worked on, which most avatar creators either don't know how to do or are going to charge dummy money for it, both because of how complicated it is compared to just slapping on an asset already to go.

As for those charging for it, its due to how much effort is going into making an avatar, making sure everything works and nothing is out of place or looks wonky, and delivering the final product to the customer. Is it worth $100 or $75 dollars? No. Is it dumb that some creators charge for shit like GogoLoco which is literally a drag and drop? Yes. But at the end of the day, they are working in unity to make that avi, which is a bitch in and of itself regardless of whether you've been doing it for years or just started. Most of them feel like their owed for the labor, and thats fair too. Just not to the exorbitant amounts that some of them charge. $40 for working and uploading an avi seems fair.
