[@World_Theory]

I've been looking up a lot of videos on VRChat and avatars lately, and there's some *really* cool stuff out there. It is my opinion that new people should start with something pretty basic at first, just so that they know for sure that they have a working avatar in case there are any events they hear about which they want to go to at the last minute. But one of the cooler things I've seen in my search for VRChat knowledge, was some kind of advanced system for making the legs work on a non-humanoid avatar. In the video I saw this, someone got a spider (they called it an Arachne, I think) avatar to walk around with a lot of meticulous messing around with bones (the animating term) and some kind of officially supported walking script thing. Apparently, the script allows the avatar to dynamically take steps when given basic directional commands like you would do with the WASD keys in a game. It looked awesome, but the more legs your avatar has, the more tedious the job of setting it all up correctly. I've seen some really neat things done with what mostly amounts to recoloring, to make an avatar of one thing look drastically different. Kind of like how a skilled makeup artist can make someone's face look like a totally different person, or a different age, or even like an alien or monster. There's are variants of an avatar originally modeled after Nanachi, a humanoid shaped animal or monster character from an anime. Canonically, the character's gender is left as ambiguous. (No one knows what it is, and they look animal-like and androgynous enough that it remains unclear. Which seems to be a design choice. Although there are some poorly translated dubs that use gendered pronouns.) But I digress! I really wanted to say that the Nanachi avatar seems like an excellent base for creating a wide variety of furry avatars, so long as you don't mind looking like a cute (young?) little anime furry character. Nanachi seems to have long rabbit like ears, but the teeth also have canines. And enough people have made modifications to the mesh of their own version, that I honestly can't remember if they canonically even have a tail, as I've seen a lot of different tail types on them. There are plenty of different avatars that might appeal to furries though. I can not even list the ones I've seen, nevermind list all those that exist. Go look at them yourself. Go on, shoo!

[@Mikington]

Heya! If you want to use PsyBones (the stuff that makes the ears or tail jiggles like the ones in Pocari's avatar) and on Oculus Quest 2, there is a limit of 8. (If on PCVR, there isn't a limit I know of) Do one PsyBone for each ear at the beginning. Then, do all of the tail. The PsyBones are included in the SDK. So all you have to do is type in PsyBones in components at the bottom of the inspector and click the first one. Finally, adjust it to your liking! Hoped this helped!

[@FenrirPlays-z9r]

Just now getting into pc vr. Don't have any gear yet but I plan to get a eye and face tracker. Have there been any changes I need to be aware of?

[@Mikington]

@@FenrirPlays-z9r Hm, It's been awhile since I've looked at the eye and face tracking market. Though, I have heard that the new Meta Quest Pro has eye tracking and I think some mouth tracking. Also, there's a Vive headset that supports eye tracking. Though, its overpriced. I think the best option would either be the Meta Quest Pro or just some attachments that support it.

[@nyxion786]

The best way i've found to do this is to try to make the polygon count low enough to be quest-friendly from the start honestly, building an avatar around quest compatibility is a whole lot easier than changing it later (which i have also tried and I really never want to do that again)

It'd be best if you coloured it onto a ref sheet you have permission to use otherwise it'll look like you condone art theft and that could get you blocked/blacklisted from artists. Here's a free base I made a while back! www.furaffinity.net/view/32250416/

blender can export your obj as fbx for unity but you will need to rig it to move by adding a skeleton and weight painting
