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

Adding FORB variants to a few other models too >:3
My friend @yargon.bsky.social released the FORB!!
I love my FORB and have been wearing it well before it was released.
New Features like; animations, eye tracking, camera, was added so I will be updating mine very soon.

The Council Will Decide Your Fate.
Hehe, wait.. you showed me WHAAT!!
You know Discord done messed up when the gang starts putting together a Steam group chat.
I really love these adorable little bots, and now that I have a proper animation rig for one, I will be making renders of them :)
This is a kitbash I made to be my Desktop avatar.
Love the glasses nerd :3
Branches from the ground are roots, trees have roots, roots are for Rootbeer.

Most users donβt know how to model, and rely on asset creators. Unfortunately quality between different creators is mixed at best.
Consumers will buy what represents themselves regardless if it is well made or not.
Which snowballs the problem, and why we need to set community standards.
There needs to be better clarity in what people buy off avatar marketplaces. We need Nutrition Facts-like labels for avatars.
I hate seeing cute outfits, and they are walking zipbombs.
Soo many regretful purchases. T~T
First step to making the community more optimized is informing the consumer.

What is the first topic of discussion?

I always do my best to make stuff optimized, but Yargon also makes a fair point. Like with my robot, I've made it me with my many edits but it still is medium.
However my Uruki, I am so disheartened to make any effort in optimizing certain things due to how it starts "VP"
- I appreciate the additional user tools we have been given to moderate how we play the game, and making the user experience better for the players, but maybe I'm asking for a little bit too much control.
Thank you for your time :3
- as this would allow me to hide "VP" avatars on all their other metrics, but not those who pass poly count by a few thousand over the limit.
I already have pretty strict download/uncom. size limits, and global avatars max shown. So in terms of performance, it wouldn't play much of a factor. -
Thank you for taking the time to summarize the technical reasoning.
While I'm not directly asking for an increase in poly count, I'd like a way to have that be an exceptionable performance marking within reason. Something like the download size limit, but in increments of 5k. -
Guide them to dial in their safety settings and reduce max download/compressed size. Typically turning off lights for anyone besides friends, and reducing down/comp to 100mb/200mb.
Find your own personal spaces with positive people with shared interests, look to Group publics, not regular publics.
The world would be a better place if you just..
I like the current limitations with avatars, but is there a technical reason for the 70k poly limit?
Iβve made many avis that would be either med or poor, if the poly cap was slightly higher. Most of my projects are kept below 100k, but Iβm lobbed in with e-boy spec avis and that doesnt feel fair :(
