[VRchat VS Animation] Fireflies

Essentially the idea behind this video is to show how much better a video can look if it's manually animated vs someone who just records stuff in VRC. I see a lot of music videos and skits created in VRchat but I have always felt that VRchat severely limits the potential of both the creator, and even the Avatars themselves. I think learning how to animate is well worth the result of having your avatars look this expressive. I just think VRC looks too lifeless
Not to mention that VRchat avatar creators make such wonderful models, but those models are limited because of VRchat. These models have so much potential that I feel gets wasted because of VRC. Especially when it comes to facial animation.
I'm sorry but personally I've never been a fan of VRchat and I think this is a great example of why and what all these creators are missing out on. And that's not even getting into other topics like being able to fully customize your lighting and camera when you animate.
Let's get more animators instead of doing it the quick and dirty way in VRC :3

There are some things that can work in VRChat, but I know what you mean by animating things can get the better results. I started doing things in VRC for TikTok, but then moved to SFM because it gave me more flexibility

[@martinefrensoquigomez7835]

I LOVE the new model you're using, plus the animation is TOP notch stuff to me Keep up the good work

Yee thankies

[@beckab4726]

Gah I love the new model so much! Not to say the old one was bad, but I really love the little differences and slightly older appearance of the new one.

[@WigWoo1]

Yee. I'm really happy with how she turned out

[@cattervr]

WOW! I mean, VRChat is actually a very good way to make animations, but the other animation (with the newer Avatar) is just incredible! Very well done!

[@ZarKus]

if you make it through vrchat then its not an animation, its machinima

[@cattervr]

@@ZarKus Oh! Ok, thanks!

[@ZarKus]

@@cattervr most people dont know this term by now since machinimas used to be popular years back

[@frostfauna1783]

I do like a good animation, especially when all these great newer models are getting used. They really show how good the work is.

I haven’t talk with you in a while but I’m back

Of course Animation works better than VR. VR has to deal with equipment that sometimes can misread the facial expressions of the VR Animator, and as a result, can look janky. A common complaint I've noticed has usually been about the VR Equipment either misreading expressions, or getting the head all weird. Animation allows for more control from the Animator, and as a result, looks more fluid and natural. Animation also allows for the animator to add things that the VR scene cannot do, such as items and planets. It's only flaw is that is takes more time to animate. In a sense, VR is great if you want nice body animations, but not so if you want head and facial animations.

[@WigWoo1]

It's even more ironic because I animated the SFM segment using VR for my motion capture. Except the face which I animate manually

[@Victor-056]

@@WigWoo1 Well, I did mention that. VR's great for good _bodily_ animations, but forget facial and head animations, those look Janky. The cool thing I like about SFM is that one can transfer Motion Capture animation data to better animate a scene.

@@Victor-056 Yee. I'm sorry I guess I missed that part you said

[@2ndpartycrasher954]

Way too much movement, kind of looks like me trying to be animated lol but very handsome oc
