A nice little tutorial, but I think it could've been built on more. For example, usually the world isn't just a flat plain, so discussing how to manipulate the ground/elevations etc would've been cool (or modeling inside of unity in general rather than just assets). In addition, discussing probably the most important thing in a world: the lighting. And then maybe collisions/mirrors/scripting etc. Still for a basic world this does the job, thanks!

[@rainpath989]

Yay! I was wanting to tear my hair out because I had incompatible blender and unity versions, I should have the right setup now to upload the VRM and convert it in Unity now. Looking forward to more videos!

[@HTCVive]

Happy to help you on your journey of understanding and creating in VR!

[@Dkatz23]

thank you !

[@HTCVive]

Happy to help!

[@ZaphonGaming]

I pressed Build and Upload but an error showed up saying "The VRCSDK build was aborted at the request of the 'UdonSharpBuildCompile' " Any fixes or tips?

[@JillianSchleger]

Thank you so much! This was so helpful. I'm super new and loved these tips. Do you have a video walking through editing a map for VRChat?

[@HTCVive]

Thank you for the kind words Jillian! Do you mean editing a world you already created, or an existing world? If it's a world from another creator be sure to get permission from the original creator and of course you would need the Unity package from them to do so.

[@keokluck]

Thank you so much for making this! I've been wanting to try to make my own world, but I hac no idea where to start 😭 and it was intimidating

[@HTCVive]

No problem! We love helping contribute to the VR industry in any way that we can. You got this!

[@xgum]

i keep installing different versions of unity, then opening the project and getting told the brand new project has compilation errors

[@dplagoon]

Great info, thx I'm a new VRchat user with some 3D modeling experience. I'm just waiting my time to go from Visitor to New User so I an upload worlds and avatars. I'm not sure how long the process is going to last. Hope its soon.

[@HTCVive]

Hey Dplagoon! Excited to hear that you are getting into the world of VR as a 3D Modeler. It is a really fun place to be especially as an artist of any kind. Usually it takes about 1 week according to google but it could be shorter. Keep an eye on it and let us know how it goes! What kind of world are you going to make?

[@SuperstarCrew]

How do you make a world PC and quest compatible.

[@codythecat01]

Switch the target build and make sure you have the quest easy switch package installed

[@justwatchingvideosLA]

It’s Super easy to do!! Continues to say all sorts of modeling programs you’ll need 😐

[@HTCVive]

Modeling programs can be overwhelming when first hearing about them. Let us know which step you are getting stuck at so we can do our best to help 😁

[@emrickazor2610]

Maaan I was hoping it'd be easier. Something like a built in level editor or something. I know that'd oversaturate the game with low quality worlds made by like 12 year olds. Look at what happened to Little Big Planet. But like I wouldn't really care personally, because I'd just be making places to hang with my friends, or recreating places from my past that way I can revisit them whenever I want.

[@HTCVive]

We're on it! 🙌

[@JohnDoe-cj6uk]

is there an easy way to make a collage for a certain part of a mesh? im making a world for my bf and want to add all the pictures we've taken together to two of the back walls i made

[@HTCVive]

You can use a photo editing tool to design your collage and then apply it as a texture to the mesh in your 3D modeling software (Blender or Unity) !

[@aVampiresBite]

interesting, i thought it'd be a lot different than making an avatar but i guess not!!

[@HTCVive]

It's not too hard is it?

[@codythecat01]

It would be nice to go a bit more in-depth on the more technical parts of the in engine stuff

[@HTCVive]

Thank you so much for the feedback Cody! Are you new to world creation for VRChat?

[@codythecat01]

@@HTCVive world creation, yes. i was hoping to learn about stuff like, setting up the avatar things and mirrors and triggers and what not, though your tutorial seems to focus more on the visuals of a world

[@HTCVive]

@@codythecat01 Okay great this is very helpful feedback, thank you so much :)

One of our missions is to help the world of VR expand as a whole! Hopefully this video can be helpful to you and many others! 😊

this clears nothing for someone who is trying to use these tools for the first time.

We are sorry to hear this tutorial was not helpful for you, feel free to let us know where you are stuck so we can help. Thanks!

you skip stepsssssss

Feel free to let us know which part you are struggling with so we can give a recommendation. Thanks!

[@cheesecake4648]

@@HTCVive yes, try making the video from scratch aimed to people who knows nothing and do it step by step, showing it in the computer.

[@OfficialTygo]

Completely missed the ball here... This is just tips for people who are experienced with these or similar programs, not a genuine "step-by-step" tutorial like the description suggests. Would have maybe learned something if you showed me the process of actually doing what you're doing instead of trying to compress all that down into under 8 minutes, it just doesnt work like that. Same way I can't just tell you how to make a full EDM song in FL studio in under 8 minutes. You seem knowledgeable about this so why not just actually explain it instead of trying to focus so hard on editing?

[@HTCVive]

We value your feedback and aim to make better tutorials. Thank you for the info, we will see what we can do!
