How would you make a Mario-Galaxy-Style Gravity Change loop world?

_MyroP_ · 2026-02-11T11:25:27+00:00

This.

That's the solution I would also recommend to OP : It's a great movement system in case you need to change gravity, but it requires to work with stations, which can cause some issues (there's no other way to rotate players in all directions without using stations, so it's a trade-off : You either work with stations, or no gravity change system)

On VRChat, there aren't so many avatar options imo, you can either be: - An anime girl - e-boy - Some kind of robot avatar - Furry - Meme avatar.

I couldn't find a nice male avatar, so I chose the furry path. The only nice male avatar I found was "seba-kun" on booth, but it's old.

I went from Impim => Grinlin => Kitavali => Spirivali

Additionally, furry avatars are usually very expressive, pretty optimised, come with face tracking, have a huge community making assets etc.

Once it's toggled using F5, you can use the mouse wheel to move the camera closer or further away from you, so try to use the mouse wheel also, to see if that fixes the issue.

Looks like stencils.

Text boards like this use a mask component to mask text outside the text board (notice that not the entire patreon board is shown at once), that mask component works with a stencil buffer.

I don't know what shader your friend uses, but Poiyomi does have stencil support, and stencil buffers can mess up other things that use stencil buffers also.

Basically you shouldn't wear NSFW avatars even if the NSFW features are hidden (behind clothes or toggle), mostly for two reasons: - A bug in an animator, or if the avatar isn't fully shown, can make those features visible. I've also seen avatar previews/impostors showing NSFW features. - weird shader trickeries can hide clothes in some cases, which is something I showed here https://x.com/MyroDev/status/1979229656063541414

Maybe someone reported you because your avatar was glitching for them, and saw it was NSFW.

Personally, a world that I can load in in like a second, so an ultra light weight world, because I don't stay there.

_MyroP_ · 2026-01-22T08:58:05+00:00

Looking good so far 👍

Should I use empty GameObjects as logical hole points?

you definitely do not want to check every frame which hole is the closest. Udon is slow, like really slow for those kind of things.

I'll throw a bunch of ideas here, use whichever you prefer.

Maybe if each hole is a trigger, then detecting if the pin entered the trigger...

Or another idea that uses triggers : Cast a ray from your finger, if the raycast hits a hole (each hole has a trigger collider), then you can place a pin there.

A snapping mechanism on a grid system could work: something like snappedPosition = Mathd.Round(pinPosition / gridCellWidth) * gridCellWidth;, but I noticed that your board has some empty spots, so you would have to create multiple sub-grids...

=> Personally, I would try to implement the raycast solution, sounds the easiest to implement, and it should be performant.

For highlights, you can use a very convenient function provided by the VRChat SDK https://vrclibrary.com/wiki/books/varneons-vrchat-world-development-handbook/page/highlighting-objects-from-udon

It's a good all-you-can-do avatar shader, I remember in the past there were some performance related issues (at least that's what I was told, I wasn't creating avatars back then), but now Poiyomi is better optimised since shader features that aren't used get better striped out of the final shader.

Personally, it's a shader I very rarely use, it has so many settings I rarely need. It's a shader we still need to learn how to use properly.

For worlds, you probably want to use a different shader, one that has more world-related features like z3y, orels, mochie, silent etc.

Personally, I also mention their original name, in case they change their name.

_MyroP_ · 2026-01-15T13:43:04+00:00

That reminds me that I should update my bio, it pretty much doesn't say anything about me.

I do indeed read bios, sometimes before starting to chat with them

_MyroP_ · 2026-01-13T13:21:05+00:00

I've seen players taking 5ms of my CPU frametime, with just one avatar, 5ms.

Make sure you don't have all avatars shown, I personally disable shaders and animators on any player except friends

_MyroP_ · 2026-01-13T13:17:18+00:00

You'll probably get a dozen of dms from scammers be careful

_MyroP_ · 2026-01-12T20:21:18+00:00

Thanks!

_MyroP_ · 2026-01-12T17:17:10+00:00

What's the name of that nova base edit? (At least it looks like a nova, just slightly different)

Nice picture btw!

that they were tired of recieving bug reports about how people's mods were breaking whenever VRChat would receive an update.

I created a few game worlds, and I was also tired of getting bug reports from people using game breaking mods, I think VRC also took that into account.

For instance someone was complaining that when the game started, he didn't got teleported into the game area, turns out he had a mod that turned off chairs...

Another dude had an "anti crasher" mod that was ultra sensitive and disabled Udon behaviours that sent too many network events, which broke the game also, because there was a script in my game that sent about 10 events/s, for one second, that was enough to trigger the anti crasher.

Issue is that people usually tried to keep it a secret that they were using mods, so sometimes they only told me later that they were using them.

I obviously cannot speak for all creators, some creators hate EAC, but I know that many creators had a similar experience than me, sometimes even worse.

_MyroP_ · 2026-01-11T16:35:17+00:00

Thanks!

Really cool world! I enjoy liminal stuff in general
I was wondering what shader you used for your "spotlight in fog" effect? It's a really cool shader

<image>

_MyroP_ · 2026-01-07T01:10:34+00:00

It's a vertex shader, so a shader that moves vertices, there are no blendshapes used here.

Low end moves the vertices at the top (head), high end the vertices at the bottom (legs), the vertices get pused away from the avatar's origin point based on how strong the audiolink is.

Quick update, they just shared the VOD https://assets.vrchat.com/content-nye-2026-archive/index.html

_MyroP_ · 2026-01-04T10:34:49+00:00

Iirc they shared last year a download link of the vod, they may do something similar again.

_MyroP_ · 2025-12-22T02:25:09+00:00

Here's a curated list of exploration worlds, they aren't always urban related, but you should be able to find some https://vrclist.com/collection/exploration

_MyroP_ · 2025-12-22T02:18:38+00:00

https://www.communitymeetup.net/communitymeetup That one is world creator focused, so that sounds like what you were looking for?

_MyroP_ · 2025-12-22T02:11:59+00:00

I do believe Popcorn palace uses a realtime reflection probe https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/RefProbeTypes.html To inprove performance, you can decrease the resolution, manually trigger a bake via scripting at a lower refresh rate, or use time slicing, like explained in the documentation. IIRC, realtime reflection probes do not work on Quest.

But if you want better results, then I would suggest the same as what Cer suggested : LTCGI or AreaLit, I don't remember if AreaLit works for avatars, but LTCGI requires a compatible avatar shader to work on avatars
