Um die Uhrzeit gar kein Problem, 40 minuten vor takeoff ist so mein cutoff. Nicht von der Ryanair app schrecken lassen, die schreibt schon "Last Call" wenn beim gate grad mal die Tür aufgeht.

So can you do it in the sexy way too, or is that an empty threat?

Next weekend it's time for TummyCon! What is TummyCon? It's a small event where you can create a booth because it's fun. So pop by and see what people have been cooking up! On the Saturday we also have a small music event that you can find through the group or vrc.tl. vrchat.com/home/group/g...

I hate central europe's weird aversion to AC. Landlord just declined my bid to install a minisplit after the 40°C+ heatwave last week. For "insurance reasons". Well let me tell ya, the unholy concotion of portable AC hoses I'm about to DIY will be vastly more dangerous than the alternative.

Addressing avatar LTCGI deprecation: It will continue to function. But having both LTCGI and LV on avatar shaders decreases performance, *even if only one is active at a time*. My preference is for people to use LV on avatars. So I'm recommending against LTCGI there. As simple as that.

I also recommend everyone switch to VRCLV over native LTCGI on avatars. It will continue to function, but Light Volumes are just the better solution for intercompatibility here.

pi @pimaker.at · 21/06/2026
Should you use this vs. VRCLV's new native Area Lights? Depends. LTCGI still gives you specular and higher-quality baked light on static objects, but only per-voxel on avatars (native is per-pixel there). It works with your existing setup though, plug-and-play. More on ltcgi.dev/Advanced/VRC....

What does "better" mean in this context? This is a drawcall dispatch function for multi-layer 3D RT updating. It saves CPU->GPU dispatches when modifying VRCLV data.

So over the past couple weeks I've been working on a module that sits on top of @sim.red's VRC Light Volumes package. It uses the AtlasPostProcessors system to read a pre-baked flipbook, so you can get animated, multicolour, multidirectional baked lighting with VRC LV. #VRChat
