New Slime, who dis? ☎️💜
Just released a video documenting my visit to the SlimeVR Cave, where I learned how SlimeVR has changed over the past several years. The short answer: it's improved a LOT!
Such an exciting project; I hope you find my thoughts insightful!

First, we're going to be changing the Portable Winterizer.
Soon, it will behave like any other Item — that means it will no longer be a consumable. Once you buy it, you'll be able to put it down as many times as you'd like.

(RE: Winterizer/consumable release)
Disappointed in the manner that this was released. In its current form, feels pretty disrespectful; a test of what purchases will succeed.
I respected the direction the economy was headed, but this decision feels too similar to Meta/Horizon Worlds strategy (1/2)

Resonite has like 0.01% the development budget of Horizon Worlds but is 10,000x better
this is not an accident. you're asking normie project managers to be creative enough to craft literal universes

I can't believe I'm saying this, but we need (natively supported) feet contacts.

World PhysBones just got released in open beta (SDK 3.9.1) !
To test that new component, I made a door that works without any Udon code, and it was relatively easy to setup. Functionalities are very similar to avatar PhysBones, bones can be pushed and grabbed #VRChat

I've been informed that the idiom is actually "not all heroes wear capes"
y'all gotta tell me this stuff
y'all gotta tell me this stuff
Real heroes don't wear capes 🙌🏼
So there I am, looking at my 90k poly avatar edit, pondering whether 70k is truly the limit I should be aiming for.
"Shoud it not be different?" - I ask myself.
"Yes... It should be 60k".
And I start dissolving edges, like a real masochist.

A splat... inside of a splat?
This is one of the first Gaussian Splats taken from inside VRChat! (...at least as far as I know)
Captured with VRChat Camera "Fly Mode;" processed with Blender, Reality Scan, and Brush.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again; VRChat Toon Standard is SUCH a powerful shader for mobile. What an upgrade from what we had before.
I've been able to make tons of toggles by animating the RGBA detail masking and still keep avatars medium or better on Quest.
