I used Bakery here, but you can get similar results with the Unity baker also.
I did a quick bake test with the Unity baker, and this is what I got, there're minor differences that can be fixed by playing around with settings:
(I would still recommend Bakery, since it has a lot of useful features)
I made this little VRChat world for a friend, a world I made in 1~2 hours
I think making liminal spaces is a really nice way to learn about lighting, because the scene is simple and you can fully focus on lighting. If you want to learn about lighting, try making a liminal-style scene first.
Lastly, if you want to add a few logos on your avatar, you can use Poiyomi's decal feature, allowing you to place stickers on your avatar, without needing to use a main high-res texture.
Btw, the Amplify Shader Editor also features a "Stochastic Sampling" node, but it's actually called "Procedural Sample".
If you're using that node with a normal map, you also need to call "Unpack Scale Normal" since the sampler doesn't do it automatically for normal maps.
Another example : here's how the setup would look like using the Poiyomi shader, which offers more features like "Stochastic Sampling".
If you're using a texture that has a very obvious repeating pattern, like this dotted pattern, you can try turning on "Stochastic Sampling"
Sometimes I see avatars using 4k/8k textures to add ultra-high details (textile, skin, leather), but it's rarely needed.
So, here's a short thread about Secondary Maps/Details mask, which most shaders support (even Unity Standard).
Example: 8192px NM | 256px tiled NM

I joined that world yesterday, not realising that it was made by DrMorro.
I found two buildings we can enter : A small museum and a cafΓ©.
I also uploaded a demo world, if you're interested trying that prefab out vrchat.com/home/world/w...
Thanks to @etheirysvr.bsky.social for taking the pictures for the thumbnail.
Hello everyone!
I released on my GitHub PvPKit, a prefab that lets you add PvP to your VRChat worldβ€
The system is still WIP and bare-bone, but I was planning to add more features when I have more time again.

My friend -WildCat- released a VRChat hangout world that is designed to run well even on lower-end hardware. It also looks really nice.
I recommend checking it out, especially if you're on Quest.

For me, it's mostly just upload size, I can share >10 MB videos without needing to pay for a subscription.
On the Bigscreen, it seems like I need to set the exposure to around "+0.8 EV"
I don't know, would anyone be interested if I released that setup as a prefab? It's a relative simple setup but I think it could be useful for some.
Since I got the Bigscreen Beyond 2 headset, which uses OLED panels, I noticed that a lot of VRC worlds including mine appear too dark on that headset. Dark gray looks pitch black.
So I worked on a little brightness slider, similar to what some games do.

Ah that's nice! I didn't know that.
So if I am world hopping with a Quest user, I can just ask the Quest user to request an invite instead.
Want to world hop on #VRChat but don't know where to go? Try Tour-Guide! This bot will randomly invite you to a world from a community generated list!

Little suggestion : Possibility to get invited to Android-compatible worlds, maybe by adding "android" in the request message?
I don't know how feasible that is, since I don't know what's accessible via the VRC API
My ASE setup, the TexelSnap node is a custom expression that calls the function I linked above
That's a cool idea!
That's the function I used :
github.com/Nestorboy/Te... it returns a UV coordinate, which you can use to sample whatever texture you want
That "pixelate texture" function can also be used on cubemaps.
I've been wondering for ages how I could pixelate textures that don't follow the UV map 1 to 1, until Ikeiwa told me that Nestorboy wrote a "TexelSnap" function that does exactly what I was looking for, so I added that feature on my transparent LCD shader with some help #VRChat
For comparison, this is the first NUCLEUS world
Modelling is technically done, now I'm mostly working on scripts and sfx.
The world is bigger than the first NUCLEUS world. I did a few test runs with friends and it seems like the world can be fully explored in 1~2 hours.
Oh wow, that's a really beautiful world.
I took that screenshot from the open-beta. From what I've seen on Discord, they seem to have added a current value on the 3p-beta.
If you like Cyberpunk 2077, I recommend checking out the VRChat world "Project Postmortem: Afterlife" by
@ninjasteve.bsky.social
Itβs built from scratch, feels very alive, and features NPCs you can talk to.
Great world for taking pictures, events, hanging out or role playing!

Note that this is an open beta, so things will likely change before the full release. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of how certain values are rendered, like "Triangle count 2.2e5", maybe a 3-column layout might be better?
Yesterday, I learned that the VRChat open-beta lets you view performance-related statistics, like draw calls or triangle counts. Really useful for creators!
The panel is customizable, graphs can be added or removed depending on your needs.
