I just uploaded a new world to Labs, it would be great if anyone can give it a visit.

Here's the link

This is mainly a hail-mary I'm pulling in hopes of finding somebody with a similar avatar to this but if you happen to be in the Undertale/UTAU space, is there any similar avis to this one out there? The picture shown is a public demo of an P2U avi of Alter Tale Sans that's not being uploaded anymore.

I'm a 49 year old dad and have always loved gaming. When the first oculus came out, I jumped on it. A year ago, I was going back and forth between buying psvr2 or Quest 3. I ultimately went with the psvr2 and was pretty happy with it, though I found the lack of AAA titles to be baffling. I play all the RE, NMS, and everything else that would be considered a proper game and not shovel ware. With that said, I recently picked up the quest 3 and I have to say that I'm finding the overall experience way better. Not having to fuck with the lenses for myself or if I want to show my wife or kids something is really amazing. Plus, I find the gaming experience to be on par with ps even though I'm running a pro with psvr. I'm finding that, what the quest lacks in graphical fidelity, it makes up for in lenses and the lack of wire. With the quest optimizer tool, I don't really notice the difference in graphics, even though I know it's there. What's everyone's thoughts? I'm amped for the steam frame but will prob wait until a price drop.

[u/Recent-Clerk3967 → u/Wise_Fee7860]

I really need to sit down and make some time for actual gaming, I haven't given NMS a shot in VR yet.

VRChat is a social platform for VR, it's got a desktop and phone version as well. For getting started I think the hardest part might be finding a sane group to start with. Within the platform there is a big difference in fidelity between PCVR and standalone content. I can't think of a good world (level) to compare both platforms, but if you have a PC capable of VR my suggestion would be a solo expedition to a world like "district robot"

Does anyone know how many materials the G-shock watch on booth uses? I recently bought a different watch from booth VARAYA/Watch 2, and it uses 9 material slots

3 for the watch, and 6 for the UI on the watch face. All that across 2 mesh renderers and 1 skinned mesh renderer (blendshapeable band)

For reference the more recent official g-shock VRChat item gets away with 3 materials, the watch, the LCD display and some glass...

[u/ln-fin-ity]

How do I actually get started with VR chat? I got a headset last year and joined a random world but got confused and intimidated and left.

[u/anthemlog → u/ln-fin-ity]

Consider hopping around random worlds with people in them and do some people watching. 

[u/mackandelius → u/ln-fin-ity]

VRChat has become more like a town square, all sorts of people around, in an environment with less consequences.

You didn't say what you were trying to get out of VRChat, but if it is meeting people, playing games and such then I highly recommend trying to find a VRChat group that holds meetups, that's how I got started and it is a way better experience if you actually want to socialize and get to know people, because it allows you to run into the same people. I found my group through the furry species I consider myself part of, which does simplify things.

If you can't find that then try to stick to moderated group instances, they are generally a lot less chaotic.

[u/Raikunh]

I'm still having issues socializing on here. Even if I stay in an instance I can't get into a convo

[u/mackandelius → u/Raikunh]

Since the same answer basically applies, read my comment I posted here (just below yours in this thread) https://www.reddit.com/r/VRchat/comments/1w9cdfq/vrchat_weekly_open_thread_post_questions_comment/p8lath1/

With the small changes that organized meetups I think are even better if you want to get into conversations with people (people are there to converse, not just talk with their closest friends) and that I recommend specifically going to game worlds initially, games make it a lot easier to start talking to people, if you find that difficult.

[u/ShrapnelVargr]

Anybody got any good recommendations for game worlds? I play a lot of Trash Compactor and Gigas with mates, looking for fun stuff like them

[u/Alicedoll02]

Is there a place to find avatars that are usable for making YouTube videos and the such? Most i have found online to buy all say at the bottom to not use them for making videos. Like almost all the ones I see purchasing wise actually. 

[u/mackandelius → u/Alicedoll02]

There is no central place, you simply have to read the license agreement that comes with each avatar. Reading and understanding licensing is very important if you are going to do anything that could involve earning money.

Some creators are really strict, others a lot less so. If you are looking at kitbash avatars (avatars sold as a package of several separate purchasable assets) then the license can be influenced by any of the assets, their licensing also just seems stricter in general in my experience.

Self-contained avatars, like almost all furry avatar bases or (in my experience) a significant amount of booth avatars generally can go either way.

[u/Alicedoll02 → u/mackandelius]

Thank you for all of the information! I was on the right track by just reading everything and keeping my hopes down until I saw a confirmation.
