Thanks so much for your work on that video, very informative (as always) and the push a lot of folks needed. 🙌🏼

...on YouTube! My only tip is try importing, combining, and modifying (kitbashing) others assets before you attempt to make something from scratch so you can get a good feel for how the software works. Best of luck with your project! (3/3)

... and it's hard to predict what the most viable long term solution will be. Large financial and ecosystem investments! However, I can recommend two softwares for your avatar creation: VRoid and Blender. VRoid is more cookie-cutter and Blender is more of a sandbox. Both are well documented...(2/3)

I have not tried the 3 yet! However, I cannot recommend any gloves at this time not because the gloves aren't good, but because the state of tracking is up in the air. DiverX gloves require mounting a base station tracker (sunsetting), contact tracker, or fluxpose tracker (both very new)... (1/3)

Simple cheat sheet on how to spot likely vibe designed websites. Not an exhaustive list & will be outdated quickly   NOTE: These sites aren't always malicious. This is only meant to help you spot them so you can make informed decisions about personal info entry   Made by hand in Figma lol

An infographic on how to spot Vibe Designed websites. The left side is what to look for, and the right is examples. Left tells are: Gradients on everything. Periods for impact. Color Palette, Vibrant pink/blue gradient, Dark background with gradient spots, Outer glow on primary actions, Rounded buttons with arrows, Tags in rounded rectangles and faded background, Outline icon in squares, AI generated images, Eyebrows everywhere, Round status indicators, Stroke on left, stroke on top, hover effects on everything, and glass panel effects. There's a note at the bottom that says that not all sites using the design language are malicious, and that this is meant to help keep people aware and safe.

Really like the weathered version! I might prefer if there was some slight variation as opposed to uniform but it definitely communicates well-loved-device. Such cute storytelling.

The only piece of workflow that has changed over time is that I no longer recommend using Cats in 2026 as there are plenty of other great tools to make avatars these days.

Hi there! I havent seen any 5.1 - specific tutorials yet, but good news is most workflows will work for any version of Blender! The keybinds might be different but they are configurable (and google-able). As for general tutorials I strongly recommend @rainhet.bsky.social 's tutorial series!

In the essence of helping I wanted to share the format I use for my few booth listings. This takes me maybe 1-2mins to gather all necessary info prior to posting. ∆ # Mesh/Skinned Mesh # Material # Texture memory use --- Included files --- And an image of the wireframe in blender.

I made an original track with Hatsune Miku!!! It's called Sing with the Fish and it's been in the works for freaking ever, but it's finally out!! 🐟🌟 Thank you to @nebufaye.bsky.social for this gorgeous illustration 💖 fallingstarheart.bandcamp.com/album/sing-w...

one of my favorite things about @transversewithru.com and team's Kaleidosky is that each effect (screenspace shaders, sky, lights, reflections, etc) can be toggled individually. Super great for fine tuning performance and accessibility needs

It's also interesting (for all character designs, not just furry) to see the way proportions change based on target end use case. Stuff for VRChat tends to be more cookie-cutter proportions to either adapt to an existing base or just be generally comfortable to use in VR. So cool!

Been victimized by chain polycount? You may be entitled to compensation!

Chiimera @chimericcurios.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

You may also make sure there's nothing in your menus or layers that is driving it to be off (I've definitely had this issue working with contacts before, where a menu option I thought would let contacts bypass was actually forcing it off). Grasping at straws here, sorry. I hope you get it fixed!

Chiimera @chimericcurios.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

That's interesting, and darn, I'm sorry. The only other thing I can think of is something different about the floor distance when you enter VRChat? Have you tried testing it on non-floor contacts to verify the system itself works on a less complicated setup? 1/2

Chiimera @chimericcurios.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

I feel like I've also noticedthere can be some varying behavior with contacts especially if you're handling parameters non-locally or have "allow self" disabled. Are you using the contact params in your params list? (i don't think you're supposed to do it but definitely troubleshoot it both ways)

For transparency this is using 15 trackers, 9 butterflies and 6 1.2s Certainly not entry level, but still cheaper than something like a Rokoko which is super exciting for indie mocap needs.

Can also confirm that the positional estimation in Mocap Mode does work with Warudo.

Chiimera @chimericcurios.bsky.social · 23/04/2026

Played around with SlimeVR Mocap Mode for the first time today! It's not perfect (can't handle jumping or sudden accelerations) but does a shockingly good job considering there are no positional inputs whatsoever. All estimation! Exciting!

this is a stupid analogy that I'm kind of ashamed to make but I'm envisioning how Wreck it Ralph 2 has that transit-hub-like visualization for people and their internet traffic. going from World A to World B and see all the people along the way could be awesome... but no ads please lol

Chiimera @chimericcurios.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

I prefer to be super precise for my loops around joints but for less intensely deforming areas, it's the overall shape/vibe/character that matters more than precision.

Chiimera @chimericcurios.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Yeah honestly I haven't a clue. It could be the exact feature I'm look for! But the way it's worded ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ a mystery

Chiimera @chimericcurios.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

I guess what I don't understand about it this setting is if I'm setting this for how I appear to other people, or I'm setting it for how other people appear to me 😭

Chiimera @chimericcurios.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

I wish it was clearer on when it goes Avatar -> Fallback -> Imposter versus Avatar - > Imposter. I have NO idea what the current pipeline looks like. Imposters are SO awesome for the majority of players, but as an artist who spends a lot of time investing in optimization I wish I had more control!
