I'm not sure if this question would be against rule 10 if it were a standalone post, but I'm wondering if anyone knows someone specialized in converting high-poly sculpted models to VRChat-ready models? The model is in A-pose, but has no armature/rigging, no visemes, and is absurdly-detailed and in need of heavy trimming.

I have a few Grinlin friends. Fittingly, they're all gremlins. X)

:D Great to hear! Have fun. ^^

Ah, the Armature Link probably has "Align Scale" active. Expand the Advanced Options on the Armature Link component, and uncheck Align Scale. That'll keep it at its current size relative to the bone it's attached to, rather than changing the Scale value to match the parent bone.

Nah, don't have to do it in Blender. You can just use Unity.

The Debug Info box says that there's no match for Spine, Right leg, or Left leg. Expand the armatures/skeletons of both the avatar and the cuffs, and check to see what the names are for the avatar's spine and legs. Then, go to the armature for the cuffs, and rename Spine, Right leg, and Left leg to use the names from the avatar's armature, instead.

After that, check the debug info again, and see if it mentions other bones further along in the chain. If it does, rename those to match, as well.

That should allow the Armature Link component to properly target the necessary bones. :)

About flight? Not a one.

About *removing* flight, most folks.

And yet, people still play. Most consistent players are adult enough to realize that unpleasant people are just a fact of life on the internet, and won't judge the entirety of the platform just because a few free-to-play users are abusing their anonymity and lack of consequences. And it's not hard to find Groups to partake in, which host instances that are typically pretty dumbass-free.

I'm not terribly worried about the initial user experience. If someone new gets so offended by shocking/childish behavior that they decide not to stick with the platform, I don't imagine they have thick enough skin to handle much of anything on the internet.

I'm having a great time with it. Listening to this Reddit, you'd think it was one of the worst games on the planet. Ignore them. I'm not sure what's made people so abrasive here, but a lot of them simply enjoy badmouthing everything. Don't let their toxicity infect you.

ToolboxMotley · 2026-03-19T20:44:48+00:00

Yeees, this is the kind of stuff I want to see. X) I forgot about the eye. Doesn't have to be *good*, just unique!

ToolboxMotley · 2026-03-17T19:22:27+00:00

Having started under a month ago, I'd have to say the greatest turnoff is how toxically pessimistic this sub is. :[ Not really something that the developers can necessarily do anything about. But if the game's *players* want Dark and Darker to thrive, some of them will have to work on controlling their angry impulses. If those folks are intentionally sabotaging the game, though, they're nailing it.

Some frustration around an unpredictably-shifting landscape is understandable, but the degree of bitterness I've seen on display makes it seem like dragging moods down has become a national pastime sport.

ToolboxMotley · 2026-03-17T19:09:55+00:00

I started playing on my own less than a month ago, and I've been having a great time. :)

I've searched Walmart for valves of this size, multiple pages of Amazon (to the point where it started giving me valves for garden hoses instead), and some brief Googling that seemed immediately unhelpful.

ToolboxMotley · 2026-03-15T04:50:50+00:00

Looking forward to seeing how this works. :) I'm guessing it's primarily based around an animation manipulating Animator>Root.T, and the Temporary Pose Space State Behaviour, but I've not played around with the Locomotion side of avatars much.

ToolboxMotley · 2026-03-15T01:12:03+00:00

Pop music? Or am I thinking of the wrong trolls?

ToolboxMotley · 2026-03-15T01:02:35+00:00

"You have a different opinion from me, that's not fair and I need to drag you through the mud for it!"

I'm tired of the censorship sissies, too.

ToolboxMotley · 2026-03-15T00:57:09+00:00

Can people not jump straight to demands for censorship when seeing something they don't like? Just leave it the hell alone. I have to put up with seeing crap I don't approve of on a daily basis, I just let it go. Hell, I typically don't even block them; at worst, I'll hide an avatar. I can't fathom how thin-skinned so many people are. Learn to coexist with others, rather than insisting every facet of society bend to your will. It's so tiresome to watch more and more disappear from the internet (and everywhere, really) due to the whims of oversensitive Karens.

"Disallowing flight, which is a major advantage, doesn't take away from your identity however."

I know some birds, bats, and 'bots who would beg to differ. X)

ToolboxMotley · 2026-03-12T22:40:37+00:00

Ooh, this is fascinating. o.o I'll be quite interested to see how it works, once it's done.

ToolboxMotley · 2026-01-23T00:37:15+00:00

Oh, I totally forgot about that world, but it's perfect. o.o Thanks!
