/vrg/ - Virtual Reality General Thread #15

I dunno, she looks relatively low poly. To me it looks like she instead has insanely high quality textures that give off the illusion of more tris.

...

I just realized that part of the charm of the retarded knuckles avatar for me is the fact that since they're desktop users, they have the standard pose and it makes them sorta bend over a little bit and makes them look all the more retarded than if they didn't.

Those im@s models are actually pretty low-poly, you'd be surprised.

I weight painted my eyes in blender and then did the eye tracking in blender with CATS, but its shit tier. It generated two new bones and when they move the irsis like tilt lmao. I have eye bones that move the eyes, not sure why they didnt work

Shit, I see this just as there's a new thread. I can upload the files I have into a MEGA if you need, though I'm still not 100% sure I downloaded them right since I can't check anything.

man i swear i've gone through 140 pages of bowlroll and yet the best models i have are ones from deviantart because the ones i find on bowlroll are always TOO good with way too high polys
my favorite model is still my drv3 miu model which was barely over 20k

>yet the best models i have are ones from deviantart

Yeah no. Just admit you like ugly, edgy, tumblr shit.

It's like I'm literally looking at trash

I have yet to find a good touhou model from there
sad

>implying i didnt sort through over 20000 images on deviantart
>implying i went for any of that shit
i spent like 3 hours at least a day looking for and finding 3 - 4 alright models to go through
although im much happier with bowlroll since i don't have to deal with undertale models, fnaf models, etc etc

>MMD models made by western plebs

So I have this model I'm trying to decimate because it's way over the limit. The thing is, it has a feature I'd like to preserve, and that's the ability to press the buttons on his outfit. The keyframes are mapped all over the body, though, so I'm not sure what to do. I've used the sliders on the other body parts, and they don't affect the buttons except for the keyframes on the buttons themselves, so I'm a little confused.

thinkin about grabbing a really vanilla looking loli with no quirks

wonder how many vr users that have 3 vive tracker too

Nice blog, where can I subscribe?

Vr in vrchat not working right now?
I keep getting stuck in a T-pose when I load up in VR.

I mean the shoulders are fucked, but it looks good.

There're some "FPS" videos made in VRChat on YT where everyone has a gun and it was just like the usual FPS game with kill score and HP.
Do you know what world uses this FPS thing and are there any requirements to play? my avatar doesn't have a weapon yet, though rather than a gun I wanted to make something like ice darts being shot from the palm, pic kinda related, it'd be pretty cool if it were possible to use that in the FPS world.

Did it work before? there was a new patch in last 24h hours by the way (50MB or so).

It's under 20k, no bones though. It's the stuff anons have been working on.
A MEGA would be good since I have a few friends that might now how do get into these files. Actually, isn't there a program for this called "Unity Asset Explorer" or something?

Yes it worked fine before and I had the problem occur before when servers where being messy it resolved itself by waiting but im wondering if other people with VR are experiencing this?

also it appears other people see me just fine

Did you make that? If so I think I saw you in the great pug a couple days ago.

>a couple of days ago
I made it yesterday from a bowlroll .pmx

Why is this idiot telling me he can't find the hips on this thing?

I know Unity Asset Explorer exists, but I haven't personally been able to get it to work. I'll upload the MEGA between 12:00 and 3:00 PM, EST, so look out for it then!

I have taken to first step to be able to head pat vr lolis. I reserved an appointment for eye surgery to get rid of glasses so I can use VR. And no, I can't use contacts.

The cost is 2500eur + vive. Gonna be damn expensive head pats. On the other hand, I get the ability to see as well.

Okay user, I'll check for a mega when I wake up tomorrow then.

>get inspired
>load up new model in blender
>get to the part where you've to change the dress
>the body part under the bloomers and shirt has no skin
So much for coming up with new ideas... should I just snap a new body under the same head?
How feasible is it to merge an external rigged body to an head from another model with its own eye bones and stuff?

i want to call you dumb but i dont want to be rude
also im using vive with glasses just fine

Ok then I must've seen something similar.

Atleast I have all Billy soundclips ready to go on a soundboard for the most realistic aniki expierence!

I wish I had VR so I could flex and strike poses.

>going through vrchat twitch streams at lunch
>see name of the guy who was disappointed in me for lewding and couldn't understand why I wouldn't use mic in one of the thumbnails

I wonder how many streams I've unwittingly been on

When I get a Vive I'm going to lovingly craft a pepsiman avatar with a giant Pepsi gun and the ability to give out cans

Fuck, I wish I had VR too, but the vive pro is coming and I don't know what to do

>look at a couple of the top streams
>they're in the same world together
>look at a couple of the 1 viewer streams
>they are in a different world, together

pro is like gen 1.5, fuck it, but wait for it to come out anyways so you can get a cheaper vive

Very optimal. That's what long time modelers do.
Have a set of base models that have their own bones.
Just combine them all later with proper parenting.
The only thing to not is that you will need to remember to weight the new parts to either the previous or new bones.

わたしの にもつが とどきました! Arrived safe and fast but for some reason I now have 6 covers for my Vive.

Why not just get a cheap option like the microsoft mixed or Rift.
Then buy the next gen later with your saved uped cash?

Wait do oculus have those covers as well for sale?
I need quite a bit since the original ones are starting to smell of sweat.

Was it at the Void Club? so much fun shit happens every time I go there, two days ago I saw Illidan vs Lich King Arthas dance off and Darth Vader venting about his ex at the bar, yesterday a thot pranked a bunch of guys for like a hour, glowstick fights and stuff. I had a pillow fight with a bunch of people as well.

Instead of watching a group play a game together on a couch, you're watching them play together over the internet. And instead of even playing a game, they're 'playing' a chatroom game. And instead of properly playing it and meeting people, they're holed up in their private worlds.
Literally what's the point, how much of a faggot do you have to be to watch this?

I didn't even know that I was getting these covers, they just were there in the box when I opened it up. I'm sure there are some good Rift covers somewhere.

I have nothing better to do at work during lunch, since I've sort of exhausted the tutorial videos. I've considered getting Unity and Blender on my laptop so I could work on stuff, but I haven't got around to it and it might not be worthwhile.

>you're watching them play together over the internet
umm EXCUSE ME, but have you heard of a little thing called SPORTS?
Checkmate game player

>weight the new parts to either the previous or new bones.
I'll check some tutorial on this, I know more or less how parenting works, up to that part it should be fine.
The new body I'm importing has its own bones (both PMX), the previous ones will probably become useless, seems like they've funny linking to loose parts that don't look very compatible with the new body, from the neck and below at least.

But I want full body tracking

Here's another tip.
Only have the abse model be the .pmx. Import the other models inside this base one as .obj

Are you rich? Go for it and spend.
No? Get a bloody rift and save money for the next gen.

Next gen will probably come in 2 years-ish time

Full body tracking is where it's at. The things two people can do with it

SO FUCKING JEALOUS

>Room A: Russians
>Room B: Russians
>Room C: Russians
>Room D: Russians

How can an entire nation be so obnoxious?

How comes? I can do that, though can't I just import both in the same .blend and then remove the parts I don't need from each one? I thought I could just link the bones from the imported model to the neck of the one I was originally editing.

Hmmmm I guess that works too? Sorry, please try it out. My experience is quite limited on that end.

Patton was right

Holy shit the model quality on the VRChat Traders Discord is absolutely fucking awful. I can't believe people actually spend money on this fucking crap, like we're talking commissions way above $100 for models that look literally worse than Deviantart shit. Why the fuck do people do this?

You are logging in when it is night time in russia.
Prime time fore "game time".

>Not asking them what they think of gays and enjoying the explosive rant as they attack everyone in the room with anime avatars
doesn't work if you're a weeb too tho

People are lazy and have disposable income.
Actually, it's not disposable, they just trick themselve into thinking that.

But I mean, I would understand dropping a lot of money on a completely custom-made (mesh, bones, textures, everything) model if it actually was high-quality and looked like something a professional had made.

But the people in the VRChat Traders Discord make stuff that look like a fucking abomination made out of sand. I just can't believe what I'm seeing.

The dude that might be willing to legit make custom models in VRC is actually a professional. He made Mirai Akari, the going rate is like $1500.

Real quality costs money

You're talking about one guy, and that Mirai Akari model can be gotten for free with porn/lewd edits so it's whatever.

Yeah because the nips decided to give the model away. He may be one guy, but he's one of the very few on VRC with the skill to do what he does.

I can honestly only think of three professional 3d modellers on VRChat

>vive trackers arrived yesterday
>Vive straps arrived this morning
>vive: ???
come on deliver my fucking vive already I'm all set to go

Damn, straight to full body

I can't think of any that show up frequently in the VRChat Traders Discord. Honestly I just feel pure disgust when I look at their kindergarten tier looking models that look like pure shit.

i don't mind body tracking myself, should i buy rift now or wait a little until vive price drop? the only reason i'd get the rift would be for the controllers, the vive ones look too bulky

Vast majority are worse than deviant art kit bashes, so that's understandable. And no, none of the three I'm thinking of use that traders discord. Everyone there are amateurs that take advantage of the fact that some people don't care enough to learn how to custom avatar

lel get fucked

With how easy it has become to import an avatar, it's not even about learning anymore as much as it is following really simple instructions. CATS is basically foolproof and works its magic on 99% of all the models.

Unless you're a full-bodyfaggot. Cats is hit or miss on fixing the rig for that

Can't say I've had any issues getting various models to work for me. That said I'm slim and of average height so it might be different for other people but at most I've had to adjust the hip root a tiny bit to fix it from spazzing out, which is an easy drag and drop in the right place. Everything from giantess girls to loli thots have worked damn near perfectly replicating my movement.

I own a rift already
I'm no richfag, but im doing ok,
i have a job that can be anywhere from parttime to over 60 hours a week depending on the week, but i literally buy nothing else, so i had enough for a rift and, having fallen for the vr meme, a vive now too

You're lucky. I've had hunched over models, models crunching in on themselves, slope spine syndrome, and a lot of general fucker with vision location.

It's been quite a pain

My facial expressions mix together if I accidentally use different ones from each hand, that's not supposed to happen right? Where did I fuck up?

Damn that sucks. Just to make sure you aren't using models from Deviantart primarily are you? Seems to be a common thing with people from what I've seen, those monstrous models have a lot of shitty rig work done to them.

I get that on all mine. I think it's inevitable.

I don't remember it happening on some of the few pedestals that had emotes though, those days were a way back though so maybe I'm remembering wrong

I've been able to fix some of the DA kit bash monsters using waist cancel bones. Basically you extrude a small bone pointing up from the upper legs and reparent the upper legs to it. It fixes quite a few issues surprisingly.

It's the only consistently positive "trick" I've learned. Another is that sometimes flipping the hips on top of adding waist cancels helps.

Can someone tell me what's going on with the jizz on this hammer? I'm almost certain this isn't supposed to be how it looks.

Its that time again, someone want to setup a void club, or maybe an mmd nightclub?

Alright boys, I'm on my knees here. I've tried figuring this out on my own but I'm ready to give up. How the hell do I apply an image to my models mesh? (Think adding a logo to models t shirt) I see that unwrapping the mesh and using the uv editor works for things like a cube, but it gets so much more complicated when I unwrap something on an mmd. (Somebody mentioned modifying my materials but I don't know what they meant by this) This seems like it should be a simple process. Also how does one leave one part of the mesh separate without leaving everything uncombined? I want to apply a shader to my hair in unity (I've seen people with a starry night in their hair, something like this) I'm starting to hate blender

just edit the texture of the t-shirt lol

Someone made a private Void Club instance for /vrg/ last night, which I think you can launch the game into by default (I have it set up, untested).

>Alright boys, I'm on my knees here

Maps with music are horrible.
Even worse when its normie music.

DICK TECH WHEN
THE LEWD HASN'T EVEN BEGUN

Most music I don't even get to listen to as it's stuttery as fuck.

My glasses are too big to fit in and I can also enjoy things like swimming when I'll be able to see where I'm going.
