Ahh youre so helpful!! Ive learned a lot of things ive wanted to do from this outside of optimization 🥰 ty ty

Akiwoo please come back <3 we love you ❤

turns invisble when i use it for quest

So very helpfull ! So many tools for optimization, so a clean video like this in how to use them give a clean direction of what to do.

it says my avatar is using too many bits 262/256? how do i fix this??

i love that cow ears

Fun fact i have a acer nitro 5 that as a rtx 3060 and it can run Minecraft and any other games at a solid 60 fps but vrchat A game with very simple graphics somehow get my fps to on average 30 to 45 fps when there are a lot of people in a world and when i mean a lot i just mean 15 to 30 people :d Btw I'm not playing in vr

imagine walking in japan and carrying a vtuber in your arms wait wha

She kept saying poiyomi pro & not only did I NOT see anything to download on the Poiyomi site that she included in the description, but also when I type Poiyomi Pro download into google, nothing about "pro" comes up, & all I get is github links to download Poiyomi Toon Shader,... sooooo.... yh... I THINK that is what she meant. Because there is nothing to download on that Poiyomi site, unless of course you have to buy a membership, & that would just be stupid. I'm not doing that. I don't have the money to be giving on top of the subs i already have for things i use everyday... Like Netflix or Amazon Prime for example. Hard pass. She or he wants money for her or his creation, then she or he can make a donations tab or get a job. I don't have time to support others. Got enough going on in my life supporting myself as it is lol Also, i'm not buying Dynamic Pen System either. Sorry, but i pirated that sh**. Sorry, but not sorry. My point is... can U stop calling it "Poiyomi Pro". It's very misleading. Thank you

This is such an incredibly well made tutorial! I uploaded my first model today and this is helping me quite a lot.

when i add d4rk as a component the script isnt actually showing up, it just says d4rk and theres no options. im trying to use it on an avi for quest, any help would be appreciated :)

ty baby girl love ur voice but girl ty

I can has more tutorials? =3

The ''create optmized copy'' don't get on for me, stay gray and i can't use.. not sure why tho.. but despite great guide!

Thank you so much for this!! I've been wanting to learn to create VRC avatars for my DJing in game. Just a body to feel comfortable being and a body that I feel like really really represents me. I'm always so fascinated by people who can create things like this. My girlfriend makes models, and it's so wild to watch her. Also, lol, she grumbles a lot when the program crashes and she loses progress xD Anyways, solid props to this video <3

Thank you for all your help your video will definitely go in my favorites for favorite guide on the Vrchat making/optimizing community! ^^

how would one obtain the avi file if you picked up a public avi ?

What dose build fail mean?

Hi! After I do the "unpack prefab completely" 5:41 i'm unable to build and publish the model. Is there any missing step? I constantly get errors from all over the place, that before doing that do not happen-.

why do I need the dynamic penetration system

I was able to get it down but the tediousness of it all is still torture 😭 video very helpful ty

Thanks a lot this was an amazing tutorial

okay so, my overall performance is still Very Poor. How do I get it to Good?

Should we do this to all avatars?

You are sooo cute, tysm for the tutorial 🥺

Any advice for optimizing quest versions?

you are so cool

D4rk is saying it don't work on quest is there another way to reduce material slots for quest it's the last part I need to do

I have a question and its kinda dumb in a way but can you use dazz 3 for vrc avatars likes these that you have??

Thank for the instruction, really helpful for my case.

You should get rid of all anystate toggles aswell or even better, make direct blend tree toggles.

Thank you so much for this 😭

Interesting tutorial! I think I'll memorize the one and the other. I also like your avatar in the corner. What's also interesting for me is your voice. If you allow me this personal question: Are were you born as a woman? Or are you a transgender? If yes, you worked very good on your voice! I'm curious how you exactly worked on it. If the question is too personal for you, feel free to just ignore my message. ;P

Ur avi is really cute

27:18 If you turn off "Write Properties as Static Values" please do NOT unlock the shaders. It's basically a more generalized version of lock in and you definitely want either that on or have the shaders locked in. With this off and the shaders unlocked you are unfortunately uploading something very unoptimized for GPUs, sorry. It's definitely my bad for not communicating this with the warnings properly and I will change that in future versions. If you find a specific material that breaks with it turned on I would appreciate a bug report on my github with as .zip of the shaders and cginc files. I can't fix issues that I don't know about after all! Aside from that, this is a very good tutorial for optimizations that you can apply in unity! 23:00 Small tip here. The button to the left of the individual texture size actually shows you what materials the texture gets used in when clicked. Makes hunting for dangling textures a bit easier.

I learned a lot but I'm still so stuck. I have an optimized avi by Sohvi which is rated as 'Good', then I add a beard to it, move it into the head on the armature, give it a new material derived from the hair texture Sohvi uses, and with just that addition the performance rating is now Very Poor... So I followed all the steps of your D4rk's Avatar Optimizer section, and it showed like it was gonna fix all the problems... Reduce the skinned meshes from 2 back to 1, poly bones from 16 back to 4, something about atlases... Only, it didn't do any of that. I've ended up with an Opti version of the avatar that reports all the same problems when I try to upload it. Still 2 skinned meshes, still 16 poly bones, etc... I even deleted the original avatar from the Hierarchy completely, just to make sure it wasn't getting picked up by mistake, but no dice. Trying to get one beard to work has given me 5 days worth of headaches and frustration so far...

Interesting, but can it optimize an avatar with high poly to a green one? : /

This helped out so much thanks Aki! Do you think you could do a tutorial on adding tattoos?

I hope you keep the tutorials coming, as I learned so much from you and want to know more! I am planning on reworking my custom avatar from scratch in a new Unity project, and I think a lot of the things you showed here will be a HUGE help. Some of those plugins you showed absolutely blew my mind. I wish I knew they existed beforehand!

Aki being coherent and giving actually useful instructions! Amazing, keep it up 😉

shameless creators make ugly unoptimized sample avatars

Thanks for sharing your process of optimisation. In the chaos of trying to optimise purchased avatars this is a surprisingly easy method to follow. Now if only my friends weren't so scared of Unity...

Now I can finally optimize my degen avatars yay

I'd feel so incredibly lost without your tutorials oh my god, you're a lifesaver! Unity can be so confusing at times, I'm really glad you go so in-depth with everything! THANK YOU!

holy cow my frames are so high now

wowow im feeling so optimized right meow
