I am so happy you started making tutorials again, as someone who has been getting into vrchat model creating fairly recently I have found most of your videos immensely helpful. Thank you a lot

[@nekotamer92]

This was a life saver, my bf was driving me mad about a separate mesh that wasn't getting the same lighting from the world. Thank you!

[@quipsilvervr]

Oh, I thought I'd already commented on this. This is definitely the best video (out of the slew of... waaaay too many options), that explains the lighting details perfectly that even I can understand it. Thank you so so much for making this.

[@BenjyVR]

this guide is absolutely incredible, thank you for this!

[@TierHarribel]

Thank you very much for this! I had no idea about the anchor thing, that could've solved so many of my issues in the past

[@bjorn0411582]

Wow thank you, the bit about the light probes is one of those niche issues thats hard to find the right way to google, even harder to find results for. But it was exactly what I was looking for! Might even be good to slap together into a quick mini tutorial for people searching for exactly that, add some good SEO terms in the description, making it easy to find!

Great shader wizard sharing his wisdom. Thank you so much for tutorials and new docs page!

[@tomaterasu700]

An excellent overview, thank you so much for this!

[@HareyMon]

Thank you poiyomi; I've always wanted a guide for this problem.

Very helpful, great information. Thank you

This helped me out tremendously. While my character lighting was fine in the default home, I was showing up pitch black in worlds. My textures are simple base colors and depend on lighting and shadows to look halfway decent. The only solution I found was raising the Lighting Add and Multiplier values under PP Animations. Maybe I was still black this whole time, but I looked fine in the mirror and camera. I was troubled by this, as it says those values aren’t meant to be changed in Unity. I intend to pick up the pro shader tomorrow. Thanks for the updated videos.

[@poiyomi]

Glad it helped

[@asogaut]

great tutorial, thank you

[@lazycrocc6715]

So if I’m using bumped map specular(for quest metallic textures), what kind of lighting should I do?

[@KokoroVRC]

In home world my avatar is greyish and in some worlds it’s pitch black and in others it’s normal. So all I need to do is put the greyscale all the way down?

[@flameknight7]

i'm learning wooo

[@poiyomi]

I hope so

これでVRC内でリアルな影を手に入れれるのですか？

[@JAYZ999]

Hmmm I followed both limit max add pass brightness and setting rgb additive blending to max and I’m still being blown out 🤔
